Today, we've got Spencer reporting on the most reported on story in the world, the old timer who got tossed by a buffalo in Yellowstone. We've got wolves in Yellowstone have left Yellowstone, and that's got Yellowstone wolf lovers panties in a bunch. The Trump administration has made changes to the Endangered Species Act, and if you're guessing that it wasn't to make it strong and more effective, you're onto something.
Colorado's dumb fur ban has died, but they replaced it with something not quite as dumb. Is the perpetuation of daylight savings time good or bad for outdoorsmen? How can you make money betting on wildfires and more? But first, our news. I'll tell you about our news. That's good, Bill. Listen, you want to talk about workplace drama. Workplace drama. This represents tremendous workplace drama. I'm not aware. Oh, the Bear Grease bib. Yeah, what's the drama? Clay fought for years for these bibs. I think since 2019. Relationships were ruined over these bibs because Clay stuck to his guns. Uh-huh. He would accept nothing less than perfection. If you're a bib man, let me stand up. You see me good, Phil? Look great.
Here you go.
See the important parts? Yeah. I'm not trying to flash.
Well, you can see the main part of a bib is the top is attached to the bottom. Here, put that camera on.
Put the camera on so I can see what's going on.
Yeah, there you go.
The bear grease bib. Look. Zippers. It's all in reverse. Come look at the camera. Zipper. Side pockets. Uh-huh. You can run them southern style. We just run around like that. You can zip them up. Flexible. They got chaps running from ankle up. It's the ultimate bib. It's the greatest product we've ever made. And like I said, a lot of fighting. A lot of fighting.
I had some household drama over these.
How so?
I brought them home, and I have a pair of 3XL Carhartt overalls that I do all my car work in. I brought these suckers home to do that in. And my wife said, those are too nice to do car work in. But now I did car work in them. She wants those to be your dress bibs? Yeah, I asked her, can I wear these to church?
She didn't answer. If you had those out at church, I would say, I'd like this man to step up to the pulpit. I think he's got something that he should share with the congregation.
Also, you're not a 3XL. What are you doing with 3XL bibs at home?
Oh, I got this from the thrift store. They're just like a big pair of bibs you do when you're working. I think they run a little bit big. Because these were your original ones.
I'm running around in a medium, which is right where I should be for a pair of boots.
Okay, this is a large.
I'm 6'4". You're a big guy.
220. Oh, I see.
Clay is telling people on Instagram, they run a little big. So if you're getting your pair, keep Clay's words in mind.
It depends if you like to put them on over a bunch of stuff. Listen, this is the ultimate deal. This is what I live in from now on.
I will say, I throw these on in the morning. I climb a tree and shoot from my saddle before work. And I just throw these on over my work clothes. Climbing the tree. Good to go. Cause you don't want to get your t-shirt dirty. Well, I wore a t-shirt today, but usually I have nice pants on. Yeah. Dude, people know about my dress up game. These are some rock. These are rock solid bibs.
I like them. Yeah. I got to get me some. Oh, dude. Just like durable. A lot of fighting.
They're available now. That's what we want to emphasize above all else. There was a lot of fighting. There was a lot of fighting.
It got emotional. These were built with anger. It got emotional.
I'm picturing an Instagram ad just like, Clay, fuck these bibs.
