I still dunno why he does this to himself but at the same time I don't want him to stop.
[sp]executioner wasp[/sp] huh is coyote peterson actually going to fucking die this time
I was terrified that the thread title meant he actually fucking died.
I like how there's an audio preview of him fucking dying right at the beginning. They know what people ̶w̶a̶n̶t̶ are afraid of.
It's a very pretty wasp
I can't believe he fucking lived

i wanted to hear the warrior drumming he talked about and found this [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_K7Tp97PsE[/media] 1:07
The only logical step after this is to just go find things that sting and have no official pain index rating. Maybe his contributions will be know as the Peterson Pain Index?
[QUOTE=doomkiwi;52919597]The only logical step after this is to just go find things that sting and have no official pain index rating. Maybe his contributions will be know as the Peterson Pain Index?[/QUOTE] I wanna see him work his way up with bites from like a cat to a leopard to a lion.
[QUOTE=erkor;52919075][sp]executioner wasp[/sp] huh is coyote peterson actually going to fucking die this time[/QUOTE] He isn't risking his life with any of these stings. They're painful stings but he's in absolutely no mortal danger. At core his show has a lot more in common with Johnny Knoxville's old Jackass show than it does say a Nat Geo documentary. It's all about watching 'Coyote' get stung, which I admit is very entertaining, but I find the way he tries to spin it like he's an educator and/or a scientist of some sort to be obnoxious. He's not a scientist, he's not a biologist, he's not a zoologist, he has absolutely no formal training in anything but filmmaking. I also think it's weird the way the tone of his show is so inconsistent. At times he talks to the camera like he's addressing other adults, and at other times he talks to the camera like he's addressing a bunch of pre-schoolers (e.g. "Hey Coyote Pack!" etc). And the goddamn Indiana Jones Halloween costume has not to go. I like his videos and he seems to be a pretty cool guy, I'm just under no illusions that I'm watching something 'educational'; I'm watching a guy get stung.
Damn, was hoping it'd be the giant centipede next like they said. Creepy fuckers... I can barely find youtube footage of ANYONE getting tagged. Still, I've gotta wonder if he's getting any kind of long term effect of taking all this shit this frequently. Especially to the same damn spot on the same damn arm every time. Either he grows a crazy immunity or he gets long term nerve damage. Just saying...
[QUOTE=fptag;52919684]he has absolutely no formal training in anything but filmmaking.[/QUOTE] Source?
[QUOTE=Lime-alicious;52919739]Source?[/QUOTE] He went to Ohio state for filmaking in like 2004, that's it. But to say he has no formal training is definitely wrong. You can see on his channel and website the amount of work he does, especially with conservation and how much he works with non-profits and zoos that he's the real deal. Did he go to school for it? No, doesn't mean he isn't properly trained and knowledgeable.
Justin O. Schmidt, creator of the Schmidt sting pain scale used to rate the pain level caused by different hymenopteran stings, had this to say about the sting of the warrior wasp [I]Synoeca septentrionalis[/I]: [quote]Torture. You are chained in the flow of an active volcano. Why did I start this list?[/quote]

his screaming always sounds so fake to me :v: (i believe its real though, no doubt)
The next logical step is for Coyote to create his own stinger and venom and start stinging other people
[QUOTE=fptag;52919684]He isn't risking his life with any of these stings. They're painful stings but he's in absolutely no mortal danger. [/QUOTE] Bullshit. Every person reacts very differently to the venom of different insect stings. That's why you can be stung by a Bee and be fine, but someone else is stung by one and they swell to the point they can't breathe. Allergies are a very real thing and are [B]ABSOLUTELY[/B] something that can put anyone in mortal danger. There is a very good reason Coyote and the crew carry around epipens, because Coyote's body can go into anaphylactic shock from the venom. Severe pain can also cause the heart to go into cardiac arrest. If there was absolutely no danger, then they wouldn't take so many precautions and explicitly tell you not to go out and get stung, but rather "admire the insects from a safe distance".

Slanted towards children but with enough family friendliness and cool trivia to actually be pretty watchable by adults too. Considering he seems like the most successful 'nature guy' in a long while, I reckon Coyote's gonna be around for a looooong time. Probably could have his own TV show if he wanted.
Coyote doesn't need his own TV show. He gets more viewers on YouTube than TV provides.
Coyote is definitely a professional. If you disagree go find a hornet, get stung by it, and try to catch it in a glass jar as it flies away.
[QUOTE=Evilaviator;52920976]Coyote is definitely a professional.

I would have fucking squished them all.
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;52920754]... could have his own TV show ...[/QUOTE] Good lord no, TV is absolute hell to work on/with/for, or even apart of. There's so much tape you need to go through: first you loose basically all of your work/ideas/characters/likenesses to contracts, legally binging clauses and obligations, can even loose entire crews that you've become custom to working with just to save a buck which brings production value down, you've got miles of regulations you must follow, you'll be lucky to retain any amount of creative freedom on the project, plus you don't decide when you're done, the contract does - even on the opposite side of that coin as well, if you want to continue the show and/or the character, but aren't getting x number of viewers an episode well fucking pack your shit and get out. ...and no he can't do anything even so much as related to the name/idea/character because they'd be damn sure to contractually own all of that. [QUOTE=OvB;52920803]Coyote doesn't need his own TV show. He gets more viewers on YouTube than TV provides.[/QUOTE] He gets a lot more then what TV would provide. It's... TV is really just not worth it. There's no saying that all of what I said above would be guaranteed to happen, and it's unfortunate that some of those things even would but the bottom line is the moment you sign that contract, you're working to make them money - and not for anything else. It's rare for a show to have the same liberties that a YT channel would have.

In Florida for example you need a class II wildlife license to own and/or display an alligator. You can apply for this regardless of anything, even if you don't have even a high school diploma. You just need 10,000 hours of working with class II animals in a controlled setting or a permitted organization vouch for you. This allows people with both the skill and passion to get these jobs even if they can't afford higher education if they really work for it. To be considered a field researcher the same things apply. It's by the grace of the organizations you work with, and Coyote Peterson has worked with virtually all of them at this point. He's just as qualified to be considered a scientist and educator as Steve Irwin was.
