The Twisted Tale of Travis the Chimpanzee

The boys talk Tolkien in this diversionary bonus episode, specifically their hopes and fears for the new Rings of Power series coming out this week. Wes struggles to restrain himself when it comes to bringing up the Silmarillion and Jeff just struggles to say Silmarillion. Somehow we end up ranking "hot" tolkien characters with emojis.  All of our regularly scheduled episodes are still on the way, so don't worry about this taking their place for the week or anything. And if we do make more of these, they will probably be on their own feed, so don't worry about them cluttering up the timeline of our regular Tooth and Claw content.

Jeff once again takes the lead to tell the tragic and cautionary tale of Marius, a South African man with a penchant for the outdoors and exotic animals, and his pet hippo Humphrey. Wes dives deep into how many people are killed by hippos every year, and then the guys wrap things up by discussing their favorite drug dealers (we promise it makes sense by the end).  ~~ To advertise on the show, contact us! ~~ Tooth & Claw is brought to you by QCODE.

Stephen Campbell got a lot more than he bargained for when he was attacked from behind while pipelining near Grande Prairie, Alberta.
