This is a strange one, incredibly awkward, and somehow captivating at the same time. First and foremost, the content of the story at hand is terrible and heart-breaking.

Still, I was captivated watching it to the point where you recognize the beauty of honesty and just stripping everything away to reveal the rawest nature. Lastly, I’ve never said or typed “bae” before, and likely never will again.

Steve Irwin’s Kid is Steve Irwin

Robert Irwin, son of famed wildlife connoisseur, Steve Irwin, appeared on Jimmy Fallon this week. In doing so, the spirit of Steve Irwin was alive and well through the energy of young Robert. There’s a feeling of pure joy that boils within me, remembering the elder Irwin and his quirky passion for the animal world. It’ll be exciting to see Robert Irwin begin to put his imprint on the world going forward.

The Incubatees Are Back
