Joining Forrest Galante and Retep this week is the Queen of Creepy Crawlies, Ms. Mallory! Having once been freaking terrified of bugs and insects, Mallory talks to The Wild Times gang about how she turned her fear into fascination. Mallory gets amongst it with snakes, tarantulas, and all kinds of creepy crawlies – she’s a genuine badass and continues bringing wildlife into the spotlight for kids and parents all over the place.
Brosteners, you’ve really got to watch on YouTube for some of the grossest and coolest footage. But for those just listening, there are plenty of horrific and wild stories to keep you entertained. We love you, brosteners!
