Buckle up for another wild ride! We dive into the most bizarre news story ever - ranchers launching an actual ELK RIDING SCHOOL in Yellowstone to teach tourists how to mount wild elk (yes, really). Plus, we break down the Minnesota Vikings' latest moves with Adam Thielen's return and whether they can actually compete this season.
What's in this episode:
The elk riding story alone will have you questioning humanity's survival instincts. From Buck Malone claiming he rode a bull elk from Cody to Thermopolis after "a few Coors Lights" to tourists from Ohio saying "it's elk or nothing" - this news cycle has officially jumped the shark.
We also get into some serious Vikings talk, discussing whether their receiving corps with Jefferson and potentially Addison could be elite, and why everyone seems to either love or hate their chances this season.
Don't forget to subscribe and drop a comment - we actually read them all (unlike those elk riders who apparently can't read warning signs).
