Hello everyone and welcome to Tooth and Claw podcast. We got our wildlife. This is part two. So you guys, if you're starting here, go back and listen to part one. Stop right now. Go back an episode. Unless you like skipping to the middle of a story.

Smart wildlife biologist Wes Larson. Okay. Our ladies man producer Mike Smith and West's brother Jeff Larson. All right. We go. You're new thing is ladies, man. What's up, ladies?

We got Mike to go to the rodeo. Yeah. Oh, speaking of a ladies man too. He was wearing the weirdest hat I think I've ever seen in my life.

That's so cool. Like what? You buy your little kid for like his train. Yeah. A little kid that's really into trains. And my favorite was I kind of made fun of you right when you showed up and then you were like, what if I turn it backwards?

And when you turn it back on school, it looked like you were wearing like a hat from the 1920s. Yeah. Well, I'm just railing against this new trend of people wearing quote unquote dad hats. I love it.

They look like they've been sitting in the corner of a warehouse and been rolled over by a few tires in their day. And people are like, oh, yeah, that's what I want to put on. I love a movie.

Dusty little floppy dad hat. I love a dad hat. So yeah, no judgments. Yeah, that sounds like I'm judging you. No, well, he just judged you. You got the green light. I think, you know, I think for me like in college and everything, the big like flat brim hats were like the really big thing.

And I just never and then trucker hats for a while. High school. You bent your bill so far that is like a full circle hat bill. Exactly. And it was always like these hat trends that I felt like I had to do.

But I never thought looked good when I actually put the hat on my head. Right. And dad hats are the first hat trend where I was like, I really like how this looks like this is the hat trend I like.

That's good. So don't ruin this for me. If you're happy, I'm happy. I love a hat. What were some of the jokes the clown was saying? He's funny. Oh, yeah, there's like his mother in law.

He hates his mother in law. His wife weighs three times as much as some of those heifers out there. Yeah. And then they made fun of is really in bad taste. It was the whole night was in poor taste, in my opinion.

But yeah, it's just generally making fun of people that the worst part for me was like there was a there's a girl who ran out in between events on her horse.

And they're just doing like a quick speedrun. And her horse tripped and she fell and then horse fell to us like kind of a shocking moment actually. And they got up.

And as they're writing out, he was like, now that little lady's ego might be bruised, but you guys should cheer on anyway.

So years are working fine. Yeah, exactly around of applause. And so, but then like any time any of the cowboys did something wrong, they were like, oh, well, he's a cowboy in a hero. So he's, you know, it wasn't ever like his ego's bruised that poor little guy, you know, it's very.

So it was just a night full of like bad, unfunny and sensitive jokes interrupted briefly by moments of like cattle abuse. Yeah.

What in my mind is cattle. It's really just not a fun experience for years. Yeah. The jokes were so bad that they were kind of funny though.

Like there's points for us just like, I think with the jokes was like, I hadn't been to a rodeo in a while. And I was like, oh, these this like hasn't changed at all. Yeah. And then it's like a little nostalgic. Yeah.

Which is a bummer. I heard there, as we were there, they're saying they're redoing the entire rodeo arena, which kind of sucks because it's been the same arena since we were little kids. This was in Missoula. We're all in Missoula right now.

We decided we wanted part two so bad. We just drove down here to they showed up on my door stop and they were like, we are not leaving until you give us part two. Right. And I was like, all right. And I just started working on it.

I also the other thing I've been working on is my deck. And I feel like I kind of ruined it last night. I had a perfect thing. Perfect bowling.

I had a perfect score going into the 10th frame and I missed it through two gutter balls. Yeah.
