Turn it all into music. Please!
turshu (host) 8:51:35 PM
we had these jackals around the forest next to our house - my grandpa would make us carry around pistols... as strange as that is to give to kids in elementary school...
turshu (host) 8:52:01 PM
ay roff we can always shift around the set ;)
0x7EA Roffle 8:52:09 PM
Where this?
Melonhead Matt Sabbath 8:52:10 PM
Jackals!
turshu (host) 8:53:04 PM
jackals! near belgrade forest in istanbul
turshu (host) 8:53:23 PM
@ears that's beautiful
0x7EA Roffle 8:53:23 PM
I've been bound by animals. I know this.
Melonhead Matt Sabbath 8:54:09 PM
Turshu at least you didn't have invizible jackals! https://muslimgauze.bandcamp.com/album/jackal-the-invizible
turshu (host) 8:54:40 PM
hehe the muslimgauze mention of the show
0x7EA Roffle 8:54:50 PM
Alaska for me. Not jackals.
turshu (host) 8:54:58 PM
you're right matt, couldve been worse
turshu (host) 8:55:24 PM
@roff what encounters did the alaskan wild present to you
0x7EA Roffle 8:59:47 PM
Bears followed me and a friend on a logging trail north of Ketchikan. We had a boat on the water. They watched from a hill and came down. We didn't run, but we left quick.
turshu (host) 9:03:32 PM
goodness... a grizzly?
0x7EA Roffle 9:08:07 PM
Black bears. We were definitely told who was boss. That's my take, and am still here.so...
0x7EA Roffle 9:08:52 PM
I love this world
0x7EA Roffle 9:10:41 PM
Istanbul is not where I would expect jaclels
0x7EA Roffle 9:12:25 PM
But I have been in AZ an had Coyotes come up to my vehicle in paacks too.
0x7EA Roffle 9:13:18 PM
What a world
turshu (host) 9:13:46 PM
bears are not to be messed with... the most we would see around would be wild pigs and jackals and that was already enough for me
0x7EA Roffle 9:14:36 PM
I am more scared of the wild pigs
turshu (host) 9:15:03 PM
the northern sections on the european side are pretty foresty and i happened to have grandparents that decided to build their house in the middle of that forest
turshu (host) 9:15:13 PM
coming up to the vehicle is crazy
Melonhead Matt Sabbath 9:16:33 PM
Roff those wild pigs are no joke. They can take a shotgun blast to the hide like it's a bb gun. Animal of the future.
turshu (host) 9:17:56 PM
wild pigs i am also very scared of - tho last summer as I was going around near the aegean coast I came across the most domesticized "wild" pigs I've ever seen. they stole my snack bag and proceeded to eat them one by one in front of me. not physically attacking, just psychological damage
0x7EA Roffle 9:18:25 PM
Oh fuck! Driveway shit!!!! I lived in Texas on a hill and I hate those things, but they don't go up hill much.

Melonhead Matt Sabbath 9:21:16 PM
Wild boar are gangsta like that. Total anarchists.
Andy Wing 9:21:53 PM
Did Tenney do that jungle version of "Hound Dog"? I recall hearing that on Bassquake in the late 90's.
turshu (host) 9:22:14 PM
that's true... they are in complete refusal of any social contract
0x7EA Roffle 9:22:35 PM
Get me started on geopolitics why don'tcha Matt?
Melonhead Matt Sabbath 9:23:07 PM
Roff haaaaa! Muslimgauze, wild boar...we are edgelords here
0x7EA Roffle 9:23:38 PM
Sounds like a solid pig plan to me.
turshu (host) 9:23:39 PM
wait andy i think very much possible imma look into that
Melonhead Matt Sabbath 9:24:56 PM
Melvins have a great song Magic Pig Detective that is just King Buzzo going ham on feedback
turshu (host) 9:25:08 PM
He uses presley's Blue Suede shoes but not sure if there's more smaples there

Melonhead Matt Sabbath 9:55:45 PM
