A riff on Americans resembling sea lions, followed by debate over whether banning seal clubbing caused shark overpopulation and endangered swimmers, tying back to the algae bloom problem.

In this bit7 moments
  • Grizzly Man got eaten by a bear, and Ocean Ramsay will statistically get ripped apart by a tiger shark on social media.
  • Tim argues sharks should be viewed as predators, and humans sizing them up that way is fair since we're not on their food chain.
  • Americans are getting so fat they're becoming indistinguishable from sea lions in the water.
  • Tim proposes electric fences and poisoning to handle sharks, but the real solution is clubbing seals on the beach.
  • Seal clubbing was banned, so now seals proliferate, sharks have more prey, and beaches close because of human attacks.
  • The government's job is public safety, not shark protection, and parents who lost children to sharks have a right to be angry.
  • Parents who lost their child in Massachusetts to a shark attack deserve to be furious at the situation.
