Memorial Day weekend 2016 local musician Wes Hardin gathered with family and friends to celebrate their new household on Lake Amanda. Less than a week later their lake became a muddy pit. Torrential rains over the weekend lead to flooding and the dam holding Lake Amanda together failed. Wes came on to talk about this experience and what he did to get his damn lake back.

Arlie Hammonds is one unique individual. At first you'll think, "This is the goofiest, most country SOB I've ever heard," He definitely is, but he's also one of the leading alligator experts in the TX/LA region and co-proprietor of Gator Country, a reptile refuge outside of Beaumont, TX.

In this episode we nerd out over reptiles, but also talk about Arlie's life, what led him to this field, and why he's so passionate about it.

Happy Movie Night everyone! This episode we doubled down with an audience pick and got a little weird with it.
