    March Madness 2024: The "All Animals are 200 lbs Cage Match" Edition

    March Madness 2024: The "All Animals are 200 lbs Cage Match" Edition

    Here's the annual Tooth & Claw March Madness episode, wherein Jeff has decided the competition will be that all animals will all weigh exactly 200 pounds, and then fight in hypothetical 1-on-1 cage matches until the last one is standing.
    We kind of try to operate under consistent logic and rules, but half the fun of these episodes is the delirium it devolves into by the end. We hope you find some value and entertainment in the chaos.

Duck soup and bear attack rhymes

You guys should watch duck soup which is a really funny older movie. Also for bear attack rhymes, couldn’t you say if it’s black fight back , if it’s brown stand your ground, and if it attacks lay down?

Cougars & Bears Acting Unpredictably 22/23 mark.

How is an owl any different from terrorists flying a plane into the WTC? The 3k+ individuals, including a family member of mine, who lost their lives vs a singular animal succumbing to illness. Such “edgy” humor. On medication or not, that was a callous, tactless thing to say. That the others hosts of this show didn’t admonish but simply “distanced” themselves was disgusting. Can’t support by listening anymore.
