SAN FRANCISCO, CA - JUNE 11: Bikes are seen locked to a bike rack on June 11, 2014 in San Francisco, California. Bicycle thefts in San Francisco are on the rise with an average of one bike being stolen every three hours. In an attempt to curb the surge in thefts, the San Francisco police department has implemented a "bait bike" program that puts expensive bikes equipped with GPS on the streets with weak locks so they can be tracked when stolen.

If Tiger King has taught us anything it’s that there is a ferocious appetite for news stories about people and animals acting badly and the wild happenstance of life. In that spirit each night during the 9 and 10 o’clock hour I enjoy playing a game with you, the listener, called Florida or Australia. The rules are simple: I’ll tell you about a news story on the air and you text or call in and tell me if you think the story happened in Florida or Australia.(because those two places seem to have a high concentration of craziness.) Here are tonight’s stories:

Be sure to tune in Monday through Friday nights at 9 and 10pm if you want to play along.
