Join us as we go coastal to the US of A for a cougar, a morning show, and unrelenting khaki. This episode had us sweating creatures you won't find in Australia, but on U.S. soil. This was a fun one!Terri takes Steve Irwin to the United States for the very first time and it's chaos in the best way. From panicking on LA freeways to facing down rattlesnakes and grizzly bears, this episode dives into what happens when a man more comfortable with crocodiles takes on American wildlife, awkward fashion moments, and morning show interviews. And then there’s Terry’s cougar. Literally. It's emotional, stressful, and kind of hilarious. This one sticks with you.Watch the actual episode from the Irwin Archive here: https://odysee.com/@steveirwinarchive:d/TheCrocodileHunter-s01e01:2Timestamps00:00:00 – Welcome and intro to Episode 300:02:00 – Terry’s history with a cougar named Molina00:03:30 – Steve’s first trip to the USA00:05:00 – Steve’s panic driving in LA00:07:00 – Hotel arrival and khakis in the city00:08:00 – Steve shops in LA (awkwardly)00:09:00 – Visit to Wildlife Waystation with baby tigers00:10:00 – Hollywood bug trainer and tarantulas00:12:00 – Madagascar cockroaches and movie bugs00:13:00 – Off to Oregon to meet Terry’s family00:13:30 – Encounter with a wild rattlesnake00:14:30 – Massive pythons and bizarre snake jokes00:16:30 – Frog pees on Terry00:17:00 – River otters and RIAs00:17:30 – Sea lions and Steve’s underwhelm00:18:30 – Meeting Molina the cougar again00:19:30 – Stressful cougar loading scene00:21:00 – Off to New York and the Today Show00:22:30 – Steve in NYC subways and culture shock00:24:00 – Conan appearance and afterparty00:25:30 – Fans recognize Steve00:26:30 – Back in Oregon: raccoons and beavers00:28:00 – Arctic foxes try to eat Terry00:30:00 – Holding bald and golden eagles00:31:00 – Grizzly bear encounter (very risky)00:34:00 – Back to Molina's new home00:35:00 – Closing reflections and episode ratingAbout us:Welcome to CrikeyCast, where we rewatch every episode of The Crocodile Hunter and break it down with love, laughter, and just the right amount of fear.If you grew up watching Steve and Terri Irwin jump on crocodiles, hold venomous snakes by the tail, and smile through life-threatening encounters, this podcast is for you.
