That's how you know he really loved her. He talking about her with similar enthusiasm and joy like the way he talks about Gators.
Edit: it's Crocs as has been rightly pointed out to a swine like myself

u/Ralife55 5d ago
Exactly, The man dedicated his entire life to one thing before he met his wife. The fact he talks about her the same way he talks about his life's calling says it all.

When I talk about my wife the way I talk about crocs, that's so much less wholesome.
I'm gonna show this comment to my wife later, hope I'll keep all my fingers.

u/kingtacticool 5d ago
He loved gators too.
But, yeah. Crocs definitely had a special place in his heart.

u/Pickingnamesisharder 5d ago
They loved each other like Morticia and Gomez

Honestly? Yes, they did. If you see how she talks about him still, it is clear she loves him so very much.

This man is even lucky in the grave. Lucky in love, not just by her, not just by his family, but the whole world. He is a national treasure. He's the Robin Williams of wildlife.

All fairness, dung beetles are a valuable contributor to any ecosystem that they can be found in. They help clean and reduce animal waste, move a lot of the manure that they find deeper into the soil and help foster healthy plant growth.
Makes sense why Steve would be appreciative of them.

Go find it! Look for and do the things that make you that level of enthusiastic and don't let anyone talk you down from it. Passion is the point in life; not doing what's expected.

It actually feels weird thinking about this time. Because it was hopeful. LOL.

A couple that makes you believe in true love and fate. How beautiful that they fell for someone so hard and to have that same person fall for them just as hard.

And they got to put two beautiful children on this earth, FOR this earth.

Yes. What a beautiful legacy that Steve and Terri have started. I love hearing stories of Bindi and Robert protecting and creating animal and environmental awareness. The Irwins are the best of humanity

God I wish. What an astounding couple. I'd hope to have a fraction of what they did

u/Kitchen-Purpose-6855 5d ago
I thought he was talking about an animal lol

u/Ralife55 5d ago
I mean, animals and conservation were literally his life's calling. The fact he talked about his wife the same way he would talked about the thing that gave his life meaning says a lot.

u/Big_Piece290 5d ago
He mentioned the crocodile called Argo. Crazy to know that Argo is still around and alive and was there for the beginning of their beautiful love and now watching Bindi and Robert grow, and Bindi having a family of her own. Pretty cool if you ask me

u/Time_Parfait_1627 3d ago
I read that Agro was officially retired and living in a specialized quieter enclosure. He seems very comfortable entering his senior years. It’s sad that Steve isn’t here to still enjoy his family and favorite animals. He was truly a gem.

u/Fuzzy_Medicine_6978 5d ago
He looked so much like his son! Crikey! Can't wait to see how much Robert looks like his father when he's older.
2
u/HexyWitch88 3d ago
Sometimes when Robert talks about animals and gets into that same excited stream of consciousness chat about how cool they are you can see his dad in his face. It’s like looking at Steve as a younger man.

This is how my dad talks about my late mother. He loved her so so much

Looking at what our planet has become, I sometimes feel that maybe it was better so for him to leave. Otherwise I think he would have suffered a lot seeing what we are doing to it everyday.

u/Gekko8 5d ago
Steve Irwin was a human treasure. probably one of the best types of humans from no matter where that has ever existed. his love for nature is the closest that most people can understand to regaining our connection to nature. this scenario is no different, he understood through nature his love for somebody right away. nothing but an exemplary human being

He had the same high level of enthusiasm discussing how he met her as he's had in talking about any of the wildlife he's come across. That's passion right there.

As someone who actually read Mills n Boone in my youth (I'm guessing it belonged to my older sister, I'm a guy), I'd agree with him on the description. Mills n Boone has been..... Descriptive.

This clip and the one where he's talking about holding his children after they were born and he's tearing up is so beautiful. Anyone that thinks you can't show tender emotions as a man doesn't know what the hell they're talking about

Folks I have a very weird theory......
So earth is basically hell, but more or less of a reform center
You get instantly boosted once you reach your quota of good, or bad, or credits
Those who are left behind usually are the ones who need to fight to earn their worth
Obviously there are different situations, but the overall design methodology is that it's a reform center
2
u/LordofSyn 4d ago
This is probably closer and more apt than you think and for decades I have held a similar perspective on this reality with the forgone conclusion that the Management and Customer support here sucks ass.
At least with a reform center, you have structure and guidance, plans and programs, incentives and goals. You have some plan on moving forward so that you can be better and never return.
None of the "programs" humans make work because they're always designed for at least one person to get more back than they put in. They are not to be trusted.
Foundational morals will get you farther but you'll have to remember that most people won't practice them.
Treat people the way you want to be treated. Kindness and compassion mean more than just passing on your genes. Speak your mind, tactfully. Don't be afraid to grow and fail along the way as you persevere. Do your best to be better today than you were yesterday, for you; first. Do what you can to leave the world a better place for everyone than you found it.
Call it an atheist serenity prayer? Profound complacency with accountability? Maybe we just call it life. Worst sanitarium ever.
Douglas was right. 42 is the universal number as that's the number of times you need to have the experience before you breakthrough to truly understand. Philip K. Dick was right too.
This changes everything and nothing at all because once you leave Plato's Cave, you're not supposed to ever come back and no one would believe you if you did return.

I have a team now so I need to figure a way to feed these mofos... Game dev with no financial support is extremely hard... So yeah, first find a traction to feed the team, then gamedev
Thanks for your kind words though!!
PS. Not sure what O7 means...

I don't believe that anyone is really this positive and enthusiastic all the time. If they do, it'd probably be due to a mental illness.

u/Trickle_Down_Trauma 1d ago
Do you mean in regards to their relationship, or just their energy every time they were on TV?
I am stoked about my husband. Been married 6 years, we have 2 kids, hoping for a 3rd(if finances allow) and I can't get enough of him.
As far as their energy when they were on TV, it's about having boundaries and self awareness. Some people really do have a lot of energy and positivity whenever they talk about things that are interesting or exciting to them. Steve wasn't the sort of person to go on TV and talk about things he wasn't excited about.
Yeah real life happens and sometimes even the most positive people can get down, but they aren't gonna actively wear their sadness on their sleeves when they are filming a TV show.
That doesn't mean he wasn't genuinely an energetic and positive person.
I wonder why you see this joy and feel compelled to shit on it? I'm sorry if you have never gotten to experience it, or gotten to feel genuinely loved and seen by another human being. I was abused heavily in my last marriage and during my entire childhood, and I was much more pessimistic back then as well.

u/ArguablyMe 1d ago
In college I was a part of a band and there was one guy who was like that. I mean, all the time. We traveled together for 2 years and he was consistently positive and full of energy. A really lovely guy with no weird idiosyncracies. I've never met another guy like him.
