Episode notes

It's interesting how those memories can really ignite something where you just have such such an affinity, or such an obsession with that kind of creature moment. We all love gars and ranger rick because of you, and horses, and, to a lesser extent, maynes. But among all of your love for gar there must be something that sooks, like, what about your life as a garologist is just the worst? Ye, i would say, you know, it's probably a conservationist dilemma too, am, depending what you're studying. I trid to improve it over t years. There was actually a thing called an electric gar destroyer that used to be used decades

A long snout. Hundreds of teeth. Scales that could slice you. What is a gar and should we fear it? Should we hug it? One of the world’s most passionate and knowledgeable experts on this ancient, mysterious fish joins to make you fall in love with these slimy longbois. Dr. Solomon David is affable, charming, enthusiastic and absolutely shameless when it comes to fish puns. Slip into some hip waders and jump in the muck to learn all about a creature that -- despite decades of mudslinging -- is not a gar-bage fish. Also: why gar caviar is a hella bad idea.
