Hello, everyone. Welcome to Tooth and Claw Podcast. We have Time Magazine named him the bad boy of bear biology, Wes Larson. And I'm his younger brother, Jeff Larson. And then we have Mike Smith with us. What's up? He likes us some.
Yeah, he's a good boy. Yeah. Beautiful floral background today, Mike. Thanks. Yeah.
In another life, I was a floral, what do they call them? Floral arranger. Yeah. Designer.
Florist or floral designer. Yeah.
My aptitude test that I took in college, that was my, I was a hairdresser and floral arranger. Really? Top two career options. Yeah.
huh one of mine said i was supposed to be a cop whoa and i was like nope that's actually not true his questionnaire it's like do you like using your power over people yes of course who doesn't i follow some floral designers and sometimes like our friend yasmin uh sometimes they make things where it's like breathtaking. Like I'll see someone's, especially when they have the video of them putting it together. And it's like, Oh, that's so pretty, you know? Stunning.
Yeah. They need like a British bake-off competition show, but for floral oranges, I think. They have that.
What?
That exists. Oh, really? Yeah.
I follow this account. Dude, you guys got to follow it. It's this AI florist design where it's all AI. The flowers are AI. The thing making the AI flowers is AI, and it's beautiful. More breathtaking than even what Wes was talking about. I don't want to follow that at all.
It sounds awesome.
There's flowers that don't even exist in real life.
If you're using AI to arrange flowers, stop. Get help. Like that one Michael Jordan meme. Stop. Get some help. Stop it. Get some help.
Yeah, I'd just say, you know, if you're using AI for anything, be real careful. Just use it. Only if you have to, but I would say maybe don't use it at all, even. What else is going on? Not much for me. I'm going to Yellowstone tomorrow to do a little bit of guiding. I think a couple of listeners on that trip are just going to be fine.
Watch out for that super volcano.
Oh man, Mike, that's my fantasy that it blows up while I'm there. Just get vaporized. Watch out for that super pack of wolves. I love those wolves. Yeah. I will though. That's also a dream to see a super pack of wolves. But yeah, I would love to be there when it blows up. I think that's the best place in the world to be if that thing goes up. It's a super pack of wolves.
What are they lobbying the government for at this point? More elk. Something awful. Yeah. Please ship more elk into Yellowstone.
Well, this is our news episode. So if you're a news, a new listener, this is an episode where we go over kind of the stuff that's happened in the news for the past five or six weeks. Things that maybe weren't big enough to merit a whole episode devoted to them, but that were, you know, interesting and newsworthy and that were sent to us by listeners. So each of us is going to go over a few of those stories. It's going to be fun, guys. Yeah. And then we're going to have some categories.
Yeah.
Alright, well, do one of you guys want to go first? I have really just one big story this time, so I can go whenever. Maybe I'll go in the middle, and then I have a few headlines that I think are fun. Why don't one of you guys go first? I'll go first. Why not?
uh did you guys hear about this millionaire big game hunter who got killed by elephants in africa yeah yeah so ernie dosio he's 75 and he was in a place that i actually had to google um called gabon or i'm saying that with a weird emphasis i feel like that's how you say it yeah In Central Africa, right? So I hadn't heard of Gabon before. But it's this country in Africa where he he's like a trophy hunter. So he was looking for something called yellow backed Duke ears. Yeah, species of antelope. Is it like a blue sheep situation where their backs aren't yellow enough? I'm not totally sure. Let's look it up. Let's look it up. No, it's got a pretty yellow back. Cool. Well, something about Gabon is it's a pretty heavily forested area of Africa, right?
There's a lot of brush. There's a lot of trees.
