Ep. 6: What the Wild Things Teach Us: Cocaine Bear vs. Meth Gator

Waiting to X-hale - A podcast by Karen Tongson and Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh

Categories:

W2X goes wild as we conjure a raucous showdown between urban legends, Cocaine Bear vs. Meth Gator! Who are they? What are they? And what do they tell us about person-kind's relationship to nature as it's evolved since nature TV in the 1970s and 1980s? Wynter tells us all about the new boomer cable channel MeTV as we have a slight skirmish over GenX shows like The Facts of Life that also appear on the network. Meanwhile, Karen explains her strange relationship to the Gordon Ramsay TV empire. As always, we've got nuo-lingo for you and a SOTW.  Join our Patreon for bonus content and SWAG: https://www.patreon.com/waitingtoxhale Links To Just About Everything Mentioned: Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours To Hell & Back Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4ptgPliiMo The Craziest Moments of Amy’s Baking Company on Kitchen Nightmares https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC8i0gt5m-Y Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted (National Geographic) https://www.nationalgeographic.com.au/videos/gordon-ramsay-uncharted/gordon-ramsay-uncharted-trailer-5932.aspx MeTV Show Listing https://www.metv.com/shows/ Tennessee police warn flushing drugs could create hyper-aggressive alligators https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/tennessee-police-warn-locals-not-flush-drugs-fear-meth-gators-n1030291 Cocaine Bear - Roadside America https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/50220 9-year-old girl charged by bison at Yellowstone Park, treated for injuries https://www.abcfoxmontana.com/all_abc_fox/year-old-girl-charged-by-bison-at-yellowstone-park-treated/article_68791cf6-ad90-11e9-ade2-f3c842118ddd.html Class of 1999 - Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOM2jgzBBhs Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YvAYIJSSZY - Visual Communications vcmedia.org Potluck Podcast Collective podcastpotluck.com
