Browse era →The episode opens with discussion of coyote vocalizations and their unsettling nature, comparing their sounds to drunk people outside a bar. The group explores how terrifying coyote calls can be to those unfamiliar with them, describing the sounds as ominous and distressing—almost resembling animal suffering or worse. Psyche then shares a personal survival story: he ventured into the woods at 3 AM and encountered a pack of coyotes that began stalking him. Thinking quickly, he broke off a dead branch, sharpened it into a makeshift spear, and responded to the threat with what he describes as "the most demonic howl you could possibly imagine." The episode captures both the genuine danger of wildlife encounters and the comedic absurdity of the moment, with other participants finding humor in Psyche's dramatic retelling.
