I have shared a lot of cute animal videos with the Big Frog 104 listeners over the years, and this one is super cute and super impressive. Here is an otter stacking cups! Yes, it's cute, but it also shows just how smart otters are. The best part about this video is near the end when the two otters hold "hands." Enjoy.

Why Fly When You Can Take the Subway? [VIDEO]

Zach Effrog — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 17:55:09 +0000

When I'm driving, it always amazes me that birds will walk across the street instead of fly. The birds, especially pigeons, will wait until the last minute and walk out of the way of a moving vehicle. Why don't they just fly out of the way? Here is an example of a bird that seemingly just doesn't want to fly as a form of transportation. The pigeon decides to take the subway instead. In the video, the pigeon loos to be pretty confident--almost like it has done this before. Enjoy.

Has this ever happened to you? You're hanging out in the pool, and all of a sudden, an elephant starts to drink the water in the pool. It seems like only in a dream could this happen. Well, it did happen in real life. Check out this video. People are in a pool and an elephant appears. The elephant starts to drink the water in the pool, stares awkwardly at the people in the pool and leaves. Unbelievable.

Cat Responds to Person Playing Guitar

Zach Effrog — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 22:45:50 +0000

This is a really, really cute video. A person is playing a guitar, and the cat is responding after a cord or two. The cat is responding with a little squeak noise. I used to love when my cat made this noise. It's not a full meow, just a tiny, tiny squeak. My cat used to make this squeak sound when he was looking out the window at birds. Check out this video. It has everything a cute animal video should have--first, it's cute, and second, it's funny. Perfect.

Hey, Squirrel, It's a BIRD Feeder! [PHOTOS]

Zach Effrog — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 22:50:01 +0000

Let me first start out by saying, I love animals. Yes, even squirrels. They're really cute, right? Anyway, with that being said, it seems every time I put birdseed in the bird feeder, the squirrels think it's their personal buffet. Am I mad? No, not at all. I just hope they leave a few seeds for the birds! Check out the acrobatics this squirrel is doing to get a meal. One time, I filled that bird feeder with seed, and in two days it was empty. I just hope everyone is sharing.

He was one of our Frogfest headliners this year at the 2012 Wild West Frogfest and Rodeo, and we now have a peek inside his tour bus.

We get a first-hand look at how Easton and his bandmates live while on the road. It's pretty interesting to see just how nice tour buses can be. And, Easton's is pretty nice. Check it out.

Dramatic Reading of a Yelp Review [VIDEO]

Zach Effrog — Sun, 29 Jul 2012 14:00:07 +0000

Yelp.com is a website where people can review restaurants, theaters, shops and various other places and things. You give a star review (based on a 5 star rating system), then, you can write an actual review of the facility. Now, like any place where people can write reviews, some are good and some are bad. In this video, the actor is dramatically reading a 1-star review. I thought it was pretty hilarious. I would definitely watch more of these dramatic readings. Check it out.

Dogs Hit Jackpot with Ice Machine [VIDEO]

Zach Effrog — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 18:40:59 +0000

I know a dog that loves ice cubes. If an ice cube drops on the floor from the freezer, the dog is right there to eat it up. Do you have a dog or know a dog like this? If you do, you know how much fun these pooches would have if they could use an ice machine built into the front of a refrigerator door. It's like these dogs in the video. They have figured out how to operate the refrigerator ice machine, and it's like they hit the jackpot with the big pay out being ice cubes. Check it out. I thought it was pretty funny, and just goes to prove how smart our pets are!

Zach Effrog — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 23:00:34 +0000

I don't want to spoil the video too much for you by telling you all the details. But, the people in this video was really smart. A mother bear had lost her cubs in a dumpster. Not able to get them out, a person uses a ladder in a very smart way to get them out. Also, the people in the video used a truck to help with the rescue--extremely smart move as the mother bear probably wouldn't have been too happy if the people casually walked up to the dumpster.

How Impatient is Your Cat? [VIDEO]

Zach Effrog — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 06:00:14 +0000

So, how impatient is your cat? Here is a video of a cat that is really, really impatient. Well, you can't blame the cat; it is feeding time and the cat is probably really, really hungry. When it was time for my cat to eat, he would meow so loud and when you were about to put the bowl of food down on the floor for him, he would nearly knock it out of your hand. Just like the cat in this video. Check it out. Is your cat like this?

In this video, the singing birthday card is playing the 'happy birthday song' sung with cat meows. And, the cat in the house, well, needless to say, is not very impressed with the birthday card.

According to the video's description, the whole removing process took five hours and 50,000 bees were saved. The video is pretty interesting. The person removing the bees used a vacuum to remove them from inside the walls of the house. According to the end of the video, the bees that were removed now live on a bee farm. Check it out.

Only dogs bark, right? Well, this video has proven that theory wrong. Here is a video of a barking bird. Yup, a barking bird. The description of the video say, “This barking bird makes for a great watchdog.” Honestly, if you didn’t see the bird, you would think it is a watchdog. Check it out.

Turning a Tiny Apartment in NYC into a Palace [VIDEO]

Zach Effrog — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 14:00:05 +0000

The guy in this video definitely knows how to save and utilize space. He customized his 500 sq. ft. apartment in East Village in New York City and turned it into a castle. He has great ideas and I like how he recycled an old cooking pot and turned it into the bathroom sink. I also really like all the hidden-storage aspects of the apartment, especially in the kitchen. I was very impressed. Could you live in an apartment this small?

Zach Effrog — Sat, 30 Jun 2012 17:55:09 +0000

Yesterday, I was able to visit the Munson-Williams-Procotr Arts Institute Sidewalk Art Show part of the Institute's Arts Festival. And, I have to say, the artistic talent that we have in this area is beyond amazing. I looked around for a while and the photos, paintings, drawings and sculptures are great.

Who's the Sexiest Vegetarian in Country Music? [POLL]

Zach Effrog — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 17:20:23 +0000

As the in-house vegan at Big Frog 104, I get a lot of questions from my fellow co-workers. There’s always the classic, “How do you get your protein?” Or, “Don’t you miss meat or cheese?” And, “Why would give up meat? It’s so good.” I have been living my meat-free, egg-free, dairy-free lifestyle for about [...]
