So we’ve established that the Anaconda is a stone cold killer. But to his credit, he’s a killer snake who doesn't crave the limelight the same way as cobras or asps. Indeed, comparing the anaconda to these try-hard badboys is rather like comparing Clint Eastwood to Colin Farrell. Clint could strike you down with a glance. Colin would probably resort to a pool queue.

Also includes a debate about who started the legend about the existence of the platypus, as well as a version of "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon" to lead to a "llama number." Most amusing.
