Dave does his annual duties and tells us all about 2024's Fat Bear Week. It's the time of year where brown bears in Alaska fatten up for their several month slumber. And we get to vote for which bear we think is fattest. There was quite a a bit of bear drama this year too

This episode we look into the creepy side of nature. We discuss what a rat king is, no, not a little rat sitting on a throne. It's when multiple rats have their tails intertwined with no escape. Then we look at the zombie ant fungus known as cordyceps. This will infect an ant and take control over it's body with the goal of infecting as many as possible. Enjoy the creepiness.

We welcome back Aaron Bodtcher as he tells us some old school Mountain Man. These stories have a heavy presence of grizzly bears. 

This episode we go over the good and bad of shark movies. There are so many shark movies out there, more than any other animal by far.  We talk about the best shark movie and one of the best movies of all time, Jaws. And it's less than stellar sequels. Then we quickly go over other shark movies we have seen and I list the names of dozens of silly shark movies.

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.
