Welcome to the news show. This week, we've got the NRA in continued legal trouble. We've got, does it really help to make fish drink pop? What is beach access and why do some wealthy folks hate it so damn bad? Spencer reports on an outbreak of mushroom poisonings and deaths in California. And me, Steve, is troubled by the word outbreak in that context, but we will see. We've got, despite what you've read, there is in fact no evidence of jaguar pups living right now in Arizona. And it happened. A hunter in Alaska killed the first ever mule deer killed by a hunter in Alaska. Plus a whole lot more. But first, what is first? Oh, walleyes.
Oh, we're going walleyes first.
Well, I don't know. What else is first? TRCP Hunt Giveaway. Oh, yeah. Because this is something I have to talk about all the time. I'm going to start talking about it on the interview show, too. Right now, if you want to win the annual turkey hunt giveaway... Go down to... Phil, what camera is it when I'm not talking to that thing?
Well, that's your camera, always. I'll switch it to Spencer and Randall if they're talking. I'll switch it to Brody if he's talking.
But that one is me. That one is you. Okay, I got confused because of that thing we got sitting there. Yeah, sorry. If you want to win this year's turkey hunt giveaway, where me and Giannis take you turkey hunting, we do everything but wipe your bottom. Like... We bring in a cook that cooks for you. We'll help you tie your boots. All your expenses are paid.
What are the recent legal troubles faced by the NRA?
Giannis and I will cater to your every need and desire when you win. And we have years worth of winners to back us up on this. So you buy raffle tickets. Go to trcp.org. Go to the turkey hunt giveaway or the spring fundraiser, summer fundraiser, whatever they call it.
How does pouring soda on fish affect their health?
If you go to the head under giving, it's like the first thing below your cursor. Buy your tickets, okay?
Someone wins every year. If you win, you and a friend, you can take your husband, you can take your wife, you can take your best friend. Last year, we had a couple of brother-in-laws, right? Whoever you want to pick, we cover your airfare. We cover your tag. We cover your food. We cover your lodging. You pay nothing.
What are the implications of mushroom poisonings in California?
You leave your wallet at home. Do they bring a gun? We have in the past brought a gun. Okay. We've had in the past where we brought a gun. We had a guy bring basically a coach gun. He had a 10-gauge single-shot sawed-off gun. Wow. He missed with it, and then we had him switch.
Gun optional. I was cheering for that guy.
Yeah.
What are the effects of jaguar populations in Arizona?
You're going to bring some of the last... I've never seen anything like it. I've never seen anything like it. I thought that turkey was going to be not alive anymore after the shot, the concussive boom, but the turkey was unfazed. I'm not sure what happened.
I think you ought to bring some of the last TSS ammo in the world for that hunt.
We'll supply your ammo. We'll supply your ammo. Wow. All you do is you and your friends show up, eat good food that you don't have to cook, eat off dishes you don't have to clean... and have fun. Who's doing the calling on these hunts?
What is the significance of the first mule deer harvested in Alaska?
I hunt with one. We, we do a little deal. We let this year, we drew straws. So I had my guy, Yanni had his guy, but we switch it up.
Okay.
But my guy got his Turkey in 10 minutes. Wow. Yanni's guy got his Turkey that afternoon.
Okay.
Our guys this year got their birds first. We had two days, three nights, two days to hunt. But in the past, if we've had a bad couple of days, we always, we work it out.
So you're calling though.
Yeah. Got it.
