6 minutes

What do you do when a poisonous toad the size of a lime threatens your pet rabbit?In this absolutely unhinged and wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—dives headfirst into one of the most bizarre wildlife stories to ever hop out of Florida. From milky toxins to freezer-based euthanasia, this segment is equal parts hilarious, horrifying, and head-scratching.KT brings the heat with a “Wildlife News” segment that spirals into chaos as the team reacts to a local Florida news report about the invasive and toxic cane toad. The story features a tiny old man worried about his pet rabbit, a toad-measuring system based on produce (“anywhere from a lime to two or three times that size”), and a snake that moonlights as a pest control agent.Notable Quotes & Funniest Moments:

“This is the only toad I know that needs a milking table.”
“If you find a lady that’s down for Orajel, marry her.”
“Other people just throw them in freezers.”
“Wait, once you leave the lime, don’t you go to an apple?”
“Can I borrow your water snake to come over here and get rid of my toads?”

The absurdity of local news
Florida’s never-ending supply of chaos
The crew’s unmatched chemistry and comedic timing
