Armadillo's CLIP #2 (Alberto)

The speaker talks about their fear of armadillos and the misconception that they can chop off fingers when they curl up. They mention that armadillos can run fast and question if they actually curl up in a ball. They wonder about the purpose of armadillos and their place in the food chain. The speaker dismisses the idea that armadillos have leprosy, comparing it to rumors about other animals having diseases. They find it amusing when people comment on their videos about armadillos and leprosy. The toughest little critter I've ever seen in my life. I'm always scared of armadillos because I feel like they're going to roll up in a ball and they're going to chop off my fingers when they roll up. No. Is that a thing? Those things will run as fast as a deer. What, do they curl up in a ball ever? Is that a thing? I've never seen it happen. I really haven't. What's up with that? They just rather run. They're fast as hell. Can you outrun an armadillo? What's the purpose of an armadillo? No. How come they exist? Where's their place in the food chain? Do they get eaten by another animal? Do they have natural predators and whatnot? Okay, so armadillos. For one, the purpose for armadillos, one, is feed rednecks. For two, to keep all the yuppies and city slickers out of the woods because they have leprosies. Do they actually have leprosy? No, hell no, dude. Same thing as everybody says, oh, skunks have rabies. Oh, bats have rabies. Yeah, of course they have rabies. So do your dogs and so do your kids. So dumb. Well, maybe your kids. So dumb. It's like everyone in the city is all saying, hey, ticks have Lyme disease. Yeah, ticks have Lyme disease, man, but we've been bit by 10,000 ticks, and I plan on getting bit by at least 10,000 ticks more, and I'll probably never get Lyme disease as long as I live. That's how everybody is. That's kind of the rumors that like to fly around with animals. Us country people, we just laugh at it like, oh my God, yeah, keep the city slickers out of here, please. We like to whip ourselves. Yeah, armadillos have leprosy. Everybody tells me that on the internet when I post those videos. Leprosy? Leprosy, yeah. Yeah, everybody tells me that on the internet on my videos when I post me sneaking up to armadillos and picking them up. It's so damn funny.
