AI is everywhere. Businesses are using it to improve productivity--and in some cases, eliminate humans--students are using it to do their homework, and images generated using AI permeate the internet. But what impact will AI have on hunting and fishing? Will it transform our favorite outdoor sports forever? I'm joined this week by special guest Bridger Jones as we explore those very questions.

Every great story has a beginning, and Lily and Al began their story at what may be the single best place to meet your future spouse -- the Dating Game. It's almost too good to be true, but it is. To top it all off, for the first time ever, I'm joined this week by my wife, Haley! Together we tell the story of how it all began, and we're sure that it would put Nicholas Sparks to shame!

Those who know me will be surprised to learn that I am in fact a runner. Given my short stature and decidedly unathletic build, running didn't come naturally to me, but nonetheless, I am afflicted with the runner's curse. That being said, in a state where temperatures drop below freezing eight months of the year, running can be a tough sport to pursue, and this week I'm sharing some of the better (or worse) experiences I've had in this hobby. Whether you are a runner or not, you're sure to get a kick out of this episode!

Trash pandas. Ringtails. Masked bandits. In Spanish they're called mapaches.

Give this one a listen, we dare you!
