"The zebra attacked the owner after a period of time and they don't know why. But the thing that really was, though, was weird to happen, it chomped on his arm to the point where it was down to the tendons, which I didn't know a zebra could even fucking do." — Ben Kissel
"We've been dealing with drones. We've been dealing with throw overs. Oh yeah, throw overs. We've been dealing with smuggling. And now we have to deal with the wildlife aspect, which is completely new to us." — John Randall (quoted by Henry Zebrowski)
"It's true our boneless wings are all white meat chicken our hamburgers contain no ham our buffalo wings are zero percent buffalo." — Buffalo Wild Wings (quoted response)
The episode kicks off with a discussion of a zebra attack in Ohio, where a man had his arm severely bitten. The hosts explore potential reasons for the animal's aggression, including territoriality and mating behavior, and touch upon the broader strangeness of exotic animals being kept in residential areas. This segues into a report on drug smuggling within Canadian prisons, where inmates were reportedly training pigeons to carry small backpacks filled with contraband. The discussion highlights the innovative, albeit illegal, methods used to bypass security and the challenges faced by correctional officers in dealing with such unconventional tactics.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to a lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings, alleging that their "boneless wings" are not, in fact, wings but rather pieces of chicken breast. The hosts engage in a humorous debate about the definition of wings, the practicality of boneless options, and the restaurant's witty response to the legal challenge, which humorously points out that their "buffalo wings" contain no buffalo. This segment is followed by a report on Denver's new initiative to humanely harvest Canadian geese, which are considered an invasive species, and use the meat for food for needy families, sparking a conversation about consumption of wild animals and the ethics involved.
The episode also touches upon a peculiar crime involving the theft of a large quantity of crab, a man found wrapped in a rug after a suspected overdose, and the unusual behavior of pigeons being used for smuggling. Throughout these segments, the hosts employ their characteristic blend of dark humor, personal anecdotes, and speculative commentary, often veering into tangential discussions on topics ranging from self-help gurus to the nature of consciousness, all while maintaining a focus on the bizarre and the absurd.
