BONUS EPISODE: The Gombe Chimpanzee War

I have a weird personal connection with the Travis story. It happened in my home town in CT and within half a mile of where I was having preseason lacrosse practice. We saw all the emergency vehicles speed past and we believe we heard the gunshots. One of the guys on the JV squad lived down the street from where it happened.

During the 911 call Travis's owner is screaming at the dispatcher to tell the cops to shoot travis.

rowtm

He was right to tell us not to Google it. I regret so much more now.

Rylan Clarke

Hell, chimps usually go for genitals. You're only playing into their plan!

LIONS/BIOLOGY cross over, and I'm here for it.

Rylan May

I Googled it, Joe. I Googled it.

Shane Roberts

Started listening to Knowledge Fight #222 right after finishing this episode. Not even 8 minutes in Alex is using the face-ripping chimp story to talk shit about Prozac. Joe and Tom are officially witches

Shane Roberts

I was expecting some silly monkey silliness not this brutal family feud and child-murdering clusterfuck, subscribe to my Patreon so I can train and become the first peacekeeping unit dispatched to chimpanzee territory

Mateo Castillo

Man I was with Joe and hoping for some Planet of the Apes-style combat. You’d think 1970s Africa would give Chimps easy access to AKs. That could be a shirt, chimp with an AK, cigarette, and Che Guevara beret.

Matt Schubert

You see, this is the problem with bored apes.

Bender Rodriguez

Oh god. You’d only make them angry and now their head is near your inner thigh and groin. This is a terrifying idea.

James Cézanne-Taipale

The spitting dip sound is essential to the feeling of the podcast. Part of the ambiance and energy you guys provide. The shitting on of E1s throughout history, dip and bad interest rate loans included

Hoth

as much as I logically understand that chimps possess Murderous Strength™️, A large idiot part of me still believes that I could get one in an armbar and defeat it

It's never good when Orange Park gets brought up in historical context.

Noah Rothschild

There's a part of me that wishes Jane Goodall would have gave these chimp stereotypical Italian mobster nicknames. Ayy over here we got Pauly Shorts, we call him that cause he only last 5 secs instead of 6 in the sac.

Grumpy Bowlart

Joe. You just watched that SNL sketch where Will Ferrell says, "I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS" didn't you?

Will Clark

My stick answer is and always will be to visit mild violence on Napoleon and saying “Free the Russian serfs or I’m coming back.”

James Cézanne-Taipale

Fun fact: the meat of chimpanzees (called bushmeat) is often linked to ebola outbreaks.

Elder Dog

This Sunday, come to "Barbarella vs the Chimps (1963)" starring Jane Fonda and Humphrey

Jeremy Shepherd

Yerks is my grandmothers family name, so now I got to go check if I’m related to the ape torturing guy

Austin Arminio

Willy Wally and Sniff were damn fine chimps. Two of the good guys. Chimper Fi.

Charlie

Literally too much monkey business

Ed Scott
