1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,600 Breaking news. We have new categories. 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:09,900 But I'm picking the category this week, but I need to tell you about the new categories on this Fringy Mini. 3 00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:18,400 I am just curious, is it because there's something that couldn't be fit into a category, or is it because one category was getting too big and need to be split? 4 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:24,800 No, no, that would never be an instance that we would need to consider. They can go on forever. They're limitless. 5 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:25,600 Okay. 6 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,400 They defy time and physics, just so that we're all on the same page. 7 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:35,600 We've got to be filed. I don't think that's new. I don't even think that's a category. 8 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,600 But here I am telling you about it. Feeling like science can't choose between good and bad feelings. 9 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,600 I have to tell you them all again, because they're just perfect. 10 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,100 In fact, we don't get a choice. Okay. 11 00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:51,600 We've got feeling like an update, back to feeling uncertain. Pretty sure this is bad. 12 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:59,600 Feel bad. Feel good. Eelers choice, in which that's another one that I'll just make the choice for you. 13 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,600 And then the best one yet, which is the category I'm choosing from today. 14 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:12,600 What's going on in the National Parks 411? We're taking the missing 411 phenomenon in a totally different direction. 15 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:21,400 Okay. Chelsea, I just feel like there were two new categories before that one, with the feeling like an update and feeler's choice. 16 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:29,400 So, okay. There's three new categories. Okay. Three new categories. My math is a little rusty. 17 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,400 That's the problem when you work outside time and space and physics. Exactly. 18 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:45,400 I'm just going to do the work though. I'm going to choose a couple of these, or I could just read all the headlines that I have right now and knock them all out of this category right now and replenish it for next time. 19 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:52,400 Because I feel like it'd be months before we revisit this. So let's do that. If anything tickles your fancy, just let us know and we can read the whole article. Okay? 20 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,400 Are you talking to me or the viewer? Listener? 21 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,400 Probably you, because they can't talk to us. Okay, fair enough. 22 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:06,400 Unfortunately. Unless they put in the comments in Spotify or YouTube maybe, but by then it's too late. 23 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,400 Or email us. 24 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,400 Sorry. I mean, if you have a time machine or something, send it to us now. Can we check the email for the comments? 25 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,400 Yeah, one sec. Yeah, nothing there yet. 26 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,400 Okay, okay. So no one has a time machine that is listening. So that sucks. 27 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:25,400 First headline. Calling out bad behavior at Yellowstone National Park. Well, that really sucks to read for a headline. 28 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,400 Are we going to talk about the guy who punched the bison? 29 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:35,400 Yes. Next headline. Yellowstone tourist kicks bison in his leg before it turns and injures him. It gets better. 30 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:44,400 Drunken tourist kick bison in Yellowstone National Park, officials say. Disorderly Yellowstone tourist arrested after skirmish with bison. 31 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,400 I think these are all the same guy. 32 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:53,400 It might be. I'm going to assume it's not, though. I'm just going to assume that people get into fights with bison all the time at Yellowstone. 33 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,400 I've seen a lot of bison. They're looking for it. 34 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,400 They are. I've mostly seen it from afar because they are looking for it. 35 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,400 Oh yeah. Tourist mauled after rolling down window to take selfie with bear. 36 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,400 Thoughtless tourist flags down giant elk for photos at Banff National Park. 37 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:21,400 Tourist caught clamoring onto cliffs over. Tourist caught clamoring onto cliffs after. Damn it. Tourist. Damn it. 38 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:30,400 Okay, let's calm down. Tourist caught clamoring onto cliffs over roaring Yellowstone waterfall to horror of lawnlookers. 39 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:37,400 National parks are researching for missing man who may have gone down Colorado River in self-made raft. 40 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:44,400 Tourist bitten after foolishly luring in coyote at National Park. What did you think was going to happen? 41 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:53,400 Those aren't even like that majestic of creatures. Like honestly, if you had to rank National Park Animal Majesticness, coyote is near the bottom. 42 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,400 Oh, it's right near the bottom. They don't even look like they're that nice to want to pet. 43 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,400 No. But I don't know. It's a tourist. So who knows. Maybe they never seen a coyote before. 44 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,400 Do they think it was a wolf? Or as some people would say wolf? 45 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,400 Or a dog. I think that's actually a TikTok. Oh, here's a good one. 46 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:17,400 Tourist spotted playing with baby on wet rocks above Glacier National Park waterfall. 47 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:23,400 And finally, tourist season has begun. New levels of stupidity already seen in Yellowstone. 48 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:32,400 There's a few of those. I'm wondering if we'll make it into missing 411 because we see this guy going down in a self-made raft on the Colorado River. 49 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,400 And he was probably found near River when he was discovered. 50 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,400 Oh, figure. And then tourist spotted playing with baby on wet rocks. 51 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,400 Chelsea. Also some water there. Yes. 52 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,400 Can we revisit the tourist kicking the bison? Just because I want to know if we get a statement from the drunk man. 53 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:56,400 Okay. What one should we go with? Drunken tourist kick bison? Yeah. That one feels like it's going to be objective. 54 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,400 Okay. It really does. Okay. There's a picture of a bison. 55 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:05,400 Story by Sam Mauhey Moore. Three days ago. It's a two minute read. 56 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,400 I'm glad they didn't put the words because that just seems daunting when they put the words. 57 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,400 Again, title. Drunken tourist kick bison in Yellowstone National Park, officials say. 58 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,400 I wonder if they get the National Park Service Guy comment. Okay. Let's read it and find out. 59 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,400 An intoxicator visitor at Yellowstone National Park allegedly kicked a bison, 60 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,400 resulting in the visitor being injured and later arrested. 61 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,400 The National Park Service announced. Oh my God. Look at them doing their job. 62 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:37,400 A 40 year old resident of Idaho Falls is being charged with four crimes in connection with the incident, 63 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,400 according to a Park Service press release. 64 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,400 On April 21st, park rangers received a report of an individual disturbing a herd of bison. 65 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:51,400 The individual allegedly kicked a bison in the lake. The Park Service said rangers said they then located him 66 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,400 in West Yellowstone, Montana, along with the 37 year old who was driving the pair. 67 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,400 The man experienced minor injuries from his tiff with the bison, 68 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:07,400 for which he was treated at a nearby medical facility before being taken to the Gallatin County Detention Center. 69 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,400 The man was arrested. I got a wonder. 70 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:18,400 But do you think they told the medical center what happened and it's kind of one of those shady ones like you'd see a better call Saul or breaking bad? 71 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:24,400 Or do you think they're just like, you know, I was just walking along and hurt my leg or something? 72 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,400 You know, I would probably think he probably tried to. 73 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,400 I'm just wondering if there was a tip. Like did the medical center tip off the National Park? 74 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:38,400 I mean, I like to divulge more information than I should when I have had a few drinks. 75 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,400 I'm just going to go on the record and say I don't like to fight with bison. 76 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,400 Still, if I've had a glass of wine or. 77 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,400 Okay, sorry, I thought you were going to say but I'm glad it didn't go that way. 78 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,400 And. 79 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,400 But if they're asking for. 80 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,400 I might divulge it. 81 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,400 This guy might have been worked up. 82 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,400 Maybe that he thought this bison did something to him. 83 00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,400 I mean, he kicked it. 84 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,400 He had to have reasons for kicking it. 85 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,400 Do you think the bison said something to him? 86 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,400 We'll never know. 87 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,400 I don't think we actually get. 88 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,400 Do we get his view on this? 89 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,400 I'm guessing we don't just because it wouldn't be fair to get his point of view, 90 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,400 but not the bison's point of view. 91 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,400 That's true. 92 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,400 So maybe he was just all riled up after going to the hospital and he was like, 93 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,400 listen to this as fucking bison was the utmost drunk. 94 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,400 It was belligerent. 95 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,400 Yeah. 96 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,400 I'd ring racial slurs. 97 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,400 I just had to step in and then they're like, we're just going to call the authorities on you. 98 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,400 Sir. 99 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,400 Okay, it goes on. 100 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,400 I need to read this part. 101 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:41,400 This is only one of several instances of visitors harassing wildlife at Yellowstone. 102 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:57,400 Animals like bison elk and bears have been disturbed by tourists so often that the park service published a news release last summer imploring people to leave a respectable distance between themselves and whatever creatures they may encounter during their time at the park. 103 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:02,400 In particular, bison have been at the center for some of the park's more alarming incidents. 104 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,400 This leads me to believe they're doing something. 105 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,400 I don't think they're innocent. 106 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:16,400 Before the man's encounter, the last report of someone being injured by a bison occurred in July 2023 when one of the animals gored a woman on the shore of Lake Yellowstone. 107 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,400 The year prior, three bison related injuries were reported at the park according to park officials. 108 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,400 Looks like they're assholes. 109 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,400 That's actually lower than I thought it would be. 110 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,400 For bison?
