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.

Customer Reviews
3 YT Guys and a Podcast about Animal Encounters
A mix of crazy animal encounters, banter, and what-ifs situation stories! It’s a podcast where everything is made up (except the animal encounters & how to avoid them) and the claws don't matter! That's right, the claws are just like... that degree Wes says he has... Did he ever find it? My favorite of the 3 changes with each episode, so I’m no help there - listen for yourself and figure out your favorite.
Anywho, this is such a fun podcast that I definitely recommend giving it a chance.
Love this show!
I started listening to the show because of the type of show. However, after a few episodes I subscribed because these guys are hilarious. It is so entertaining. The back and and forth and off topic side bars are fantastic. Wes is a vast wealth of animal knowledge! He is also an advocate for animal welfare. The show is just what I look forward to listening to each week. I also love playing fantasy football with Jeff and other listeners of the show. Ultimately I think Mike will start liking horses also. Keep making us laugh and giving us the stories and facts!
Came for mauling stayed for Jeff
I’m easily offended by people who are easily offended, maybe that makes me no better than y’all.. but come one… Jeff is hilarious! I found this podcast looking for animal stories and it’s my go-to these days. When I’m having a bad day nothing makes me smile more than listening to Jeff poorly read ads word for word. Great stories animal stories, informative, and strangely light hearted. My people, thanks guys!
