SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – SEPTEMBER 19: A one-month-old Veiled Chameleon crawls on the hand of a Taronga Zoo staff member September 19, 2006 in Sydney, Australia.

If Tiger King has taught us anything it’s that there is a ferocious appetite for news stories about absolute disaster people. In that spirit, each night during the 9 and 10 o’clock hours I enjoy playing a game with you, the listener, called Florida or Australia.

(because those two places seem to have a high concentration of craziness.) Fridays are a special wildcard edition where I ask you to determine if the stories are homegrown crazy or imported from other countries. Here are tonight’s stories:

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