Episode Date: March 8, 2026

Join Olivia Henson and Siobhan Weed as they rank their top 5s of random categories. This week, the girls are ranking their top 5 animals they would like to pet but can't. They also discuss rabid sheep, the Bob Ross of the animal kingdom, and informative Nemo scenes.

Welcome to objectively correct. Probably. Where are your host, Olivia Henson. And Chauvin Weed, and this is our silly show where we take five minutes to rank our top five of a random category. So join us as we share our hot takes on things that don't really matter because it's fun to have opinions. Let's list. Okay, guys, welcome back. Today, we are going to be ranking top five animals we would love to pet but can't.

We love animals. And I think I would probably pet just about any animal. This highlight of my summer was I was in Ireland with my family. in the Dingle Hills and I pet a rabid sheep. I snuck up to it. I had to do some running. Surprise it. Gave it a little pet. It sprinted away. But I will be living on that high for years to come. As national geographic enjoyers, you know, it's come to our attention that we can't pet some animals due to like the danger of it or whatever. Yeah, fake news. We're, we just- that was not an element of that animal's reality. Like, we would totally pet his animals. So the criteria.

So the criteria for today's ranking is that we have to be unable to pet it in reality. It can't be a common animal. Not a house pet. And it will not be able to be domesticated. So it won't be a house pet. Okay. So number five is a lion. Maybe this is coming from a place of jealousy of their hair.

If I'm being completely honest, they're the bop ross of animals. Like, if you're a dude lion, you are never having a bad hair day. Every day, just glorious Maine. Are you kidding me? That's how they got picked as king of the jungle. Yeah. And also Lion King having that iconic of a movie made after you as an animal. And they look so fuzzy.

Two words. Elton John. They're just so much. incredible energy around a lion, and I want a pet one. So, yeah. And number four, we have hippo, specifically of the baby variety. And we'd like to give a quick shout out to our good friend Allison at the contact center. Who gave us the idea for this one.

And I do, like, hippos are kind of my childhood hero, if I'm being completely honest, just because of the sheer amount of hours that I played hungry, hungry hippos. It's a great game. Also, they just look so cute because they look like the toddlers that just lost their two front teeth, but like forever because they just have those like two teeth on the corner of their mouth. adorable. And you know, like, they're also my childhood hero, except not as much for hungry hippos, more for I want a hippopotamus for Christmas.

An iconic Christmas song. Are you kidding me? One of the best Christmas songs. We'll rank that next. Top of me. Next is seals coming in at number three. Oh my gosh, guys. I talked about this previously, but I'm obsessed with a good seal.

They're so cute. They're the best. They make the funniest little noises. They do little dances. And I just, I love them. I love them so much. And you know what image replays my mind frequently? Is that one seal holding the, like, saxophone and just spinning.

in the water. That's iconic. Oh my gosh. I want to be him. I want to be him too. And it's just like careless whisper in the background. Okay, number two is this is kind of a hear me out, but a box jellyfish. And let me explain.

I don't know if you guys have seen the show stopping film Finding Nemo, but there is this scene where Merlin and Dory bounce on the tops of box jellyfish. And guys, Chavon did a really great, like, sound effect for this when we were talking about this episode and what our top five was. And I'd like her to recreate it right now. This is the bounce sound that Dory makes when she hits the box jellyfish. Because, okay, like, a bouncy house castle and a trampoline

will never come close to this. It was like the doing, doing, doing, the doing. Like, oh my gosh, I just want to bounce on a box jellyfish. Or like, just give it a little pet. Are you kidding me? But the informative scene in Nemo did tell us that apparently you can't like touch them. Yeah, because we all know what happened when Dory like swam through the tentacles rather

than bouncing on the top. Not good things. That was almost the end of the line for Dory. So that's something to take into account and really the real reason that box jellyfish like bouncing on them definitely won't happen and petting them probably shouldn't either. But man, we do want to do it. Oh gosh. Yeah, I do. Okay. Coming in it, number one, the very top of our list is a koala. They're just perfect looking animals. They look like an emoji or like a cartoon. Like it looks so innocent and sleepy all the time. We have figured this out that they can carry chlamydia and also pass on chlamydia and also they have toxic barbs on their elbows. They're like elbows.

I think on some of their joints. They have like barbs that like actually are toxic. Yeah. And if you're like you're poisoned. Yeah. No, you might not make it. It does not stop the fact that I do want to hug them because they're so cuddleable. Yeah.

They're like living stuffed animals. Are you kidding me? I would cuddle a koala so hard. Let me tell you. Oh my gosh. Like honestly, if I was confronted with a koala in front of me, I don't even think that knowing they have chlamydia and toxic barbs would. stop me from hugging it. And also, we have to give a shout out to koalas for inspiring the brand

awala because they're just great water bottles. And I'm a big O'Wala appreciator. Big, big thank you hug for koal. Guys, let's do a recap real quick. Coming in at number five is a lion. Number four is a hippo, specifically a baby hippo. Number three is a seal. Number two, the box jellyfish. And I stand by that. And number one is a koala. And guys, we're not saying we're totally right, but we are objectively correct. Probably. On Radio Free Heelsdale, 101.7 FM. Bye, bye, guys.
