Grits, rhinos, monkeys, and ducks. That sounds like a game of Jumanji got out of hand down at the Cracker Barrel, but it's not. It's just another amalgamation of convoluted topics from a time in Brent's life that we think you'll find interesting, or at least entertaining. It's stories from the guide service this week on MeatEater's "This Country Life" podcast.
