Force of Nature

This episode we have a special guest joining us, Matt's sister, Dave's wife... Dayna Bodtcher. Great white sharks are her favorite animal. We go over why people have a fear of sharks, which is called "galeophobia." Then we discuss great whites in captivity and why it has never worked out. Then go over conservation and leading causes of shark deaths. Then Dayna plans a shark diving trip for us. It's a lot of fun.

We bring some other family members on the show.  Ryan is Dave's nephew and does a great job telling us about a mishap at a rodeo... and then we have Dave's brother-in-law, Marek... he may have been day drinking at the pool party.  He tells us his story about his encounter with a jellyfish.  

For this bonus episode we bring in Dave's dad, Aaron Bodtcher. Aaron was very excited to share his personal story about him being stung by a jellyfish and having a stranger pee on him. The pee thing is a myth... But Aaron didn't know that at the time. Aaron even wrote the entire script himself. 

During the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, America and the Soviets were on the brink of nuclear war. And during this time a black bear jumped over the fence and into an American air base. The guard sounded the alarm thinking it was a Soviet spy nearly causing WW3.

Also, Matt gets heat exhaustion while recording. 

In this episode we look at what happens on the fateful day when Terry Thompson let out his 50 plus exotic animals and ended his own life.  We look at what the officers had to do and the difficult decisions they had to make.  No other police force has had to deal with a situation like this before... nobody is prepared for something like this.  We also look into the aftermath of this crazy story.

We bring you the set up for a famous story from 2011.  A man named Terry Thompson, a very excentric man who owned over 50 exotic animals.  We learn about his life and mental state before the incident.  Terry let all of his animals loose and then killed himself... leaving local authorities to deal with 50 dangerous animals on the loose.  We're talking lions, tigers, bears, wolves, cougars all on the loose in a rural town in Ohio.  And this is just part one.
