Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Viral Bison Attack: Setting the Scene

• Hosts recap a slow sports week and the perfect timing for a “weird”, headline-grabbing story like the bison attack.
• Despite the seriousness, the hosts find some dark humor in the fact the victim survived.

“For content reasons only, it’s kind of a good thing that this guy got attacked by a bison.” — Payne (02:19)

• Emphasis: The story wouldn’t be discussed in such a lighthearted way if Carl had been seriously injured or killed.

2. What Happened?

• Context: Carl Ison-McDaniel, a 75-year-old with his teenage grandson, was innocently taking a photo — not provoking the animal.

“It wasn’t one of these stories where you’re like, ‘Oh, you idiot.’ It was him and his grandson... standing literally all the way across the street.” — Pendergast (03:28, 03:32)

• It happened during the rut, when male bison are more aggressive.

3. Carl Ison-McDaniel’s Firsthand Account

• Audio excerpt of Carl, sounding surprisingly youthful and calm:

“Even though I was on the ground, he could have stomped me, he could have gored me, could have done anything... He wasn’t showing aggression or anything like that until it picked a target... I had my grandson with me. It was like, you need to get up to the amphitheater. I will deal with this... they move faster than you could ever imagine. He just kept coming and he was more aggressive. And as soon as he got off that tree, he launched me in the air.” — Carl Ison-McDaniel (04:20)

4. Reaction to Carl’s Demeanor

• Hosts note Carl’s surprising resilience and youthful sound for his age (75).

“If I had to guess, I would guess that was like a 35 year old guy... no wonder this guy’s so resilient.” — Sean (04:55-05:01)

• Both hosts agree Carl isn’t “one of those idiots” who ignores wildlife warnings; he likely knows better and is probably a little embarrassed.

5. Broader Tourist Misadventures in Yellowstone

• Sean is reading “Death in Yellowstone,” a book chronicling fatal accidents—often caused by visitors doing foolish things.

“People... go to Yellowstone and they think they’re at Animal Kingdom... like, they don’t realize... no, they’re wild animals. They’ll kill you dead.” — Sean (06:34, 06:40)

• Many families sue the park/government after such self-inflicted injuries, but courts routinely throw out those lawsuits.

6. Bison Attack Facts & Survival Rates

• Nearly all bison attacks are survivable.

“According to Gemini, it’s 99%.” — Payne (10:12)

• Typically, bison attack with a single toss/gore and move on, not a prolonged assault.

“Their attacks typically consist of a single charge, toss or gore, followed by the animal... moving on, rather than a prolonged assault.” — Payne, reading source info (10:30)

• Only 2 recorded fatalities from bison in Yellowstone, last one in 1983.

7. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Hero Grandpa:

“What I liked about the cut we played of him was him, like, making sure his grandson was okay... ‘Hey, man, get to the... amphitheater. I will deal with this.’” — Pain (11:52)

• The Yellowstone Comparison:

“It’s not Disney. There’s no animatronic bear show or whatever, you know?” — Pendergast (12:08)

• Social Media & Going Viral:
  The hosts jokingly suggest Carl should capitalize on his viral fame with a podcast or social following, referencing other viral personalities.

8. Short Detour: Sports Injury Banter

• Briefly, and with their signature humor, the hosts shift to another “sports injury”—a baseball player’s ruptured testicle after fouling a ball off himself.

“He underwent emergency surgery to repair a ruptured testicle Monday night, hours after fouling a ball off the region.” — Pendergast (13:08)

• Side conversation: why professional athletes don’t always wear cups, with memories from Little League discomfort.

• “It wasn’t one of these stories where you’re like, ‘Oh, you idiot.’” — Pendergast (03:28)
• “He could have stomped me, he could have gored me, could have done anything...He just kept coming and he was more aggressive. And as soon as he got off that tree, he launched me in the air.” — Carl Ison-McDaniel (04:20)

Conclusion

This episode compellingly blends the viral Yellowstone bison attack with wider commentary on human behavior around wildlife, punctuated by Carl Ison-McDaniel’s harrowing yet admirably calm retelling. The hosts use wit and personal anecdote to examine why people keep ignoring nature’s risks, while also sharing some light banter about sports injuries. The episode serves as both a cautionary tale about respecting wild animals and a showcase of human resilience—and as always, it’s delivered with Payne & Pendergast’s signature irreverence and Houston flair.

[Pain]

Here's Pain and Pendergast.

[Jimmy Conrad]

Hi.

[Pain]

Pain and Pendergast with you as we head towards the 8 o' clock hour.

[Pendergast]

All right, so we big announcement at 10.

[Pain]

Big announcement. 10 o' clock today. Yeah. Be here for that. I'm telling you, be here for that.

[Sean]

I will.

[Pain]

You will not be disappointed.

[Pendergast]

Sean.

[Sean]

I've been telling you, telling me nagging and nagging.

[Pain]

Hammer at home.

[Pendergast]

Seth, stay until the end of the show.

[Pain]

I'm gonna over communicate with you on this. I'd also like the rest of you to be here for it as well. But dammit, Seth, you'd be here for it too. 10 o' clock today. Big announcement. Can't wait. So one of the stories that last week that really fit in perfectly for the week that was last week, that classic like, oh, there's no baseball and there's no this.

[Sean]

A lot of people are on summer vacation.

[Pain]

Yes.

[Pendergast]

Maybe even taking a trip to Yellowstone or something, you know. Right, right.

[Pain]

I feel bad saying this and I can Say it now. Because he survived the attack.

[Pendergast]

Yeah.

[Pain]

But for content reasons only. It's kind of a good thing that this guy got attacked by a bison. This Carl Ice and. Carl Ice and McDaniel.

[Sean]

He wasn't. He didn't get Gord to death right now.

[Pain]

No, no, no, he's alive. If he had died or had been debilitated drastically, I would not be saying these things.

[Pendergast]

But for those of you didn't see it. Yeah.

[Pain]

I think most of you have a go ahead.

[Sean]

A lot of times you got, you know, you hear about somebody getting attacked

[Pendergast]

by a bison and you're like, oh, this is going to be pretty bad.

[Pain]

Yeah.

[Pendergast]

And then you watch and you're like, how is this possibly worse than what I thought it was going to be?

[Sean]

He went this bison through this. Like, how old is he?

[Pain]

He's like 75 years.

[Sean]

75 year old man who's like not, you know, he's got a little extra weight on him. He's not at his ideal body weight. And he's 75 years old. Get jacked 12ft into the air and land pretty hard after. Also, I was worried about him. He was dodging the bison pretty effectively, using the tree trunks as cover for a while.

[Pain]

He was doing a good job of reading his blocks.

[Sean]

The guy's ticker probably isn't doing all

[Pendergast]

that great by that point.

[Sean]

So he survived though.

[Pain]

He survived. He suffered some leg injuries getting tossed in the air.

[Sean]

He wasn't taunting the bison or anything.

[Pendergast]

It wasn't one of these stories where you're like, oh, you idiot.

[Pain]

It was him and his grandson.

[Pendergast]

Yeah.

[Pain]

So his grandson, he's a teenage grandson who was there in a Dolphins jersey and the two of them were standing literally all the way across the street. He had his iPhone out, just taking a picture. You're right. Wasn't taunting him. Was, you know, barely making, you know, like probably thinking, oh, good, he's not making eye contact with us even.

[Pendergast]

But it being the beginning of the rut for bison up there, a lot of the males are getting kind of ornery.

[Sean]

They're kind of agitated.

[Pendergast]

Yeah. They're headed out to the club.

[Pain]

Yeah. So he's like, well, that looks kind of like a bison.

[Sean]

Let's.

[Pain]

It's got a lot of hair on his face.

[Pendergast]

Thank God it didn't turn into that.

[Pain]

Oh, Jesus. So, yeah. Right. The only damage was, was this guy. His name again is Carl Eisen McDaniel. So one of the news stations caught up with him in his hospital bed. So if you're wondering A sort of a first person account of what it's like to get attacked by a bison. Here you go.

[Carl Eisen McDaniel]

Even though I was on the ground, he could have stomped me, he could have gored me, could have done anything. We saw the bison and he was down. He wasn't showing aggression or anything like that until it picked a target. That target happened to be me at the time. I had my grandson with me. It was like, you need to get up to the amphitheater. I will deal with this. Down here they move faster than you could ever imagine. He just kept coming and he was more aggressive. And as soon as he got off that tree, he launched me in the air.

[Pendergast]

Yeah.

[Pain]

Way in the air.

[Sean]

He sounds. If I had to guess, I would guess that was like a 35 year

[Pain]

old guy, very young sounding voice.

[Sean]

No wonder this guy's so resilient.

[Pain]

He looks super old. Cause he's got one of those long ZZ top.

[Sean]

Well, he had that long beard. He had like a flannel shirt on. He looked like a guy that might have. Again, even as he's talking about the bison there, it doesn't sound like he's like one of these idiots who thinks

[Pendergast]

they're gonna go feed the grizzly bears at Yellowstone. Correct. You know, like it does that.

[Sean]

Like he probably, he sounds like a

[Pendergast]

guy who's probably, maybe even a little embarrassed that it happened to him because he's probably told other people like, hey, yes, wild animals are. They're called wild for a reason.

[Sean]

He probably himself has said, hey, they

[Pendergast]

move a lot faster than you think.

[Pain]

Yeah.

[Pendergast]

But then all of a sudden you're like, oh, it really is moving faster than I thought.

[Pain]

I'm a little disappointed that this guy doesn't like have his own podcast yet. Remember Hawk to a girl? She went viral. Yeah, yeah. She's making millions on her podcast now. Are making a lot of money anymore. She might not.

[Pendergast]

She had like some kind of a.

[Pain]

She had a crypto scam.

[Sean]

Crypt.

[Pain]

She's got a lot of followers still on social media. She's probably getting a little, some little lagna from Instagram and stuff.

[Sean]

Guy sounds really young. And I would never guess that's a

[Pendergast]

75 year old man.

[Pain]

I don't know what his podcast would be about, but he was the viral thing for like a week.

[Sean]

I'm.

[Pendergast]

I'm.

[Pain]

Go get that money, man.

[Sean]

I'm reading a book.

[Pendergast]

Okay. I'm listening to a book, Death in Yellowstone. And it was not about the show.

[Pain]

Yellowstone.

[Pendergast]

Death in Yellowstone. You know, that's, that's Stupid show. I used to love it, and then it gored me.

[Sean]

Like, there's a lot of death.

[Pain]

That's why.

[Pendergast]

So no death in Yellowstone. It's an account of various deaths from the 1800s until, like, 2012 in Yellowstone. And so far, I'm early into it, but there's a common theme, which is people doing stupid stuff at Yellowstone.

[Sean]

And more than anything, just like, people. This is what it sounds like. People, really. They go to Yellowstone and they think

[Pendergast]

they're at Animal Kingdom.

[Coca-Cola Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Sean]

Like, they don't realize. Like, no, they're wild animals will kill you. They'll kill you dead. They don't have a. Like, this is not. And then.

[Pain]

Oh, you mean like Animal Kingdom at Disney.

[Sean]

Yes, yes, yes. They really think, like, oh, we ride a tram and then we go. But all these people, like, there's signs everywhere saying, hey, these are not just

[Pendergast]

hot springs, they're boiling springs.

[Oregon Lottery Announcer]

Yeah.

[Sean]

Don't go in them.

[LinkedIn Advertiser]

And then.

[Sean]

You know why I got the book?

[Pendergast]

Because last a few days ago, a

[Sean]

woman and her child decided to go

[Pendergast]

off of the boardwalk and start walking up to the edge of this boiling hot spring, which people have died multiple times, as evidenced by the book Death in Yellowstone.

[Pain]

Death in Yellowstone.

[Pendergast]

Yeah, but this is the part that pisses you off about the book. How many of these people's families, after they die in Yellowstone being idiots, Sue. Sue Yellowstone or sue the government or whatever.

[Pain]

Yeah.

[Sean]

Like, how could you know?

[Pendergast]

Well, you need to explain further that boiling water can kill you.

[Pain]

Do they win these lawsuits?

[Pendergast]

No, no, they get thrown out really quick.

[Pain]

Okay.

[Pendergast]

Yeah. It's a kind of. It's one of. It's like with. You know, when you eat raw oysters and you get food poisoning, the courts are like, yeah, that's what happens sometimes.

[Pain]

Yeah, we know it's an aphrodisiac, but it's also a colon cleanser at times.

[Pendergast]

But that's the other thing that happens is that people just don't. Like, they think they're gonna. They see.

[Sean]

Sit their kids on a bear, you

[Pendergast]

know, like, they think that's a good idea. It'll be a good photo op for the. For the gram.

[Pain]

Hey, speaking of.

[Pendergast]

Of.

[Boar's Head Announcer]

Of.

[Pain]

Of attacks and stupid things and whatnot, what do you think? This is according to Gemini? So I acknowledge that the numbers may be off the percentage chance of surviving a bison attack.

[Pendergast]

Surviving a bison attack.

[Pain]

Just surviving.

[Pendergast]

Okay. I'm guessing.

[Sean]

You know what?

[Pendergast]

The survival rates are always higher than you expect. Even, like a gunshot wound to the head. Head has a higher.

[Pain]

I'D expect that to be zero.

[Pendergast]

No, it's not.

[Pain]

Yeah, yeah, that's.

[Pendergast]

But it tends to be like you don't want to survive it. It's.

[Pain]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Pendergast]

The. I would guess it's like 67.

[Pain]

According to Gemini, it's 99%.

[Pendergast]

Yeah.

[Sean]

And there's wild animals. If they're not carnivores, they're not trying to eat you.

[Pendergast]

Or if they are carnivores, they're not

[Sean]

trying to eat you.

[Pendergast]

They're just trying to, like, minimum, like get rid of you.

[Pain]

That's what it says. While bison are incredibly powerful, weighing up to 2,000 pounds and capable of sudden charges.

[Pendergast]

Yeah.

[Pain]

As Carl Ice and McDonald McDaniel found out, their attacks typically consist of a single charge, toss or gore, followed by the animal, followed by moving on, rather than a prolonged assault. Do you think that more of the deaths come from getting tossed way high in the air and then just the landing on the ground or getting gored? I bet the gore is when they just jam the horn through you, right?

[Sean]

They don't like use when I've seen

[Pendergast]

the tab, only seen a couple of them, but they don't. It doesn't seem like they're trying to thrash you with their horns the way, like a bull would or something. So I'm guessing it's the fall to the ground.

[Pain]

Yeah, maybe. Fatalities are very unusual according to the National Park Service at Yellowstone.

[Pendergast]

Yeah.

[Pain]

Okay, so this book you're reading probably doesn't have many bison related deaths.

[Pendergast]

Not yet.

[Pain]

Not yet. Well, it's. If. If they do, it'll be one of two.

[Pendergast]

Okay.

[Pain]

Only two recorded fatalities in Yellowstone from encounters with bison. That surprises me a little bit. Yeah, just like only two and there hasn't been one. Boy, this Ice and McDaniel guy almost made history. There hasn't been one since 1983 at Yellowstone.

[Pendergast]

You think he's disappointed that he wasn't maybe 75?

[Sean]

It's not like you're setting a record.

[Pendergast]

It's just the first since 1983.

[Pain]

Right.

[Sean]

You want to call that a record?

[Pendergast]

That's like the Al home run record. You're like, you're manufacturing it, you know?

[Pain]

Yes.

[Pendergast]

No. This guy's no better than Aaron Judge, if that's what he's talking about.

[Sean]

You know what I liked about the

[Pain]

cut we played of him was him, like, making sure his grandson was okay, you know, I was like, hey, man, get to the. Whatever the amphitheater is. I'm guessing maybe they've got like an amphitheater where they do, you know, shows or whatever up there in Yellowstone.

[Pendergast]

Again, Sean, it's not Disney. There's no animatronic bear show or whatever, you know?

[Pain]

No, but. But I. Amy and I went to Theodore Roosevelt national park and they had an amphitheater.

[Pendergast]

Yeah, no, they probably do. They do their little, like, nature. Their wildlife presentations.

[Pain]

Animal Kingdom.

[Pendergast]

Yeah, Disney.

[Pain]

Yeah, me too. It's pretty cool.

[Pendergast]

It is.

[Pain]

The animals do come kind of walking up. If you have the. If your room faces the right way, the animals come walking up there.

[Pendergast]

Yeah, but you're right.

[Pain]

They're much more docile, probably.

[Pendergast]

And hasn't been a single bison in

[Pain]

Animal Kingdom that I saw.

[Sean]

Yeah, this other kid.

[Pendergast]

The other big sports injury news other than the bison attack was this. This player for the A's.

[Coca-Cola Advertiser]

Oh.

[Pendergast]

Underwent emergency surgery for a ruptured dude

[Pain]

testicle after getting a base hit. Yeah, like he got hit in the schnutz.

[Sean]

He played for. He played for an inning after.

[Pain]

Yes.

[Sean]

The. The. The. It was.

[Pain]

He's like, wow, this still really hurts.

[Pendergast]

It was Joshua Crota Grauer, however you pronounce his name.

[Pain]

Yeah.

[Pendergast]

He underwent emergency surgery to repair a ruptured testicle Monday night, hours after fouling a ball off the region.

[Pain]

Dude.

[Pendergast]

The region of his testicles.

[Pain]

Oh, does he wear a cup of.

[Pendergast]

I don't. Probably not.

[Pain]

Yeah, he will now an iron one.

[Pendergast]

Not as many guys wear cups as people.

[Pain]

I know. I know.

[Sean]

People are. There's some people that don't realize that

[Pendergast]

football players don't wear cups. Yeah, yeah. Like, nobody wears a cup. That'd be the dumbest thing ever. But I like. Like, sometimes. Because it chafes and everything. You got to run around and. Yeah, yeah.

[Pain]

I remember the first time wearing one, like, in Little League. I'm like, this hurts.

[Pendergast]

Yeah. No, it's awful.

[Pain]

Yeah.

[Sean]

No, because in football, like, if you're playing, it's an. It's an incentive to play with proper paddle.

[Pendergast]

That's true.

[Pain]

Yeah.

[Pendergast]

Yeah. If you're playing low and in a good position, you'.

[Sean]

You're.

[Pendergast]

Yeah. You're kind of protected.

[Pain]

You ever take one in a game, like a knee ever laying?

[Sean]

No, I don't think I ever have. Not football.

[Pendergast]

Yeah. I can't remember a single time I took a nutshot.

[Pain]

You know what that tells me? You play with perfect technique.

[Pendergast]

No, that's definitely not it. Yeah, it's just. It's not as. It's just not as common.

[Pain]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Pendergast]

Everybody's trying to punch up around your torso.

[Pain]

Okay, gotcha.

[Sean]

I've never been in it.

[Pendergast]

I never had, like, a moment in the pile or anything where.

[Sean]

There was one time where Stories. There was a.

[Pendergast]

One time where I was fighting for a ball down there at. We used to call it Reliance Stadium back in the day. That's what they're going to do soon.

[Pain]

Old is new.

[Pendergast]

We were playing the Chiefs, and there was a. There was a scrum. There was a loose ball, and I was trying to get my hand in and. And grab the football, and I grabbed and squeezed you. And I was like, that's.

[Pain]

That's not a football.

[Pendergast]

That's a flaccid forearm. And then I was like, wait a second. Forearms aren't typically flaccid.

[Sean]

And then I was like. And then all of a sudden, I

[Pendergast]

felt deep shame and inadequacy. I was like, what the hell is that?

[Sean]

Oh, my gosh.

[Pendergast]

And I let go. And the. The person I was doing to wasn't. It wasn't all that thrilled about it. He thought I did it intentionally.

[Pain]

Yeah.

[Sean]

And I was like, no, dude, it was exact. But by the way, good for you. Yeah, dude, what the hell? I didn't know that this was. That's not anything.

[Pendergast]

Of the yeah.

[Sean]

Of the two that I've now held in my life, that one is by

[Pendergast]

far the superior one.

[Sean]

I don't have a lot to go off of, but man, good job.

[Pain]

Coming up next, I can't wait to find out who it was.

[Pendergast]

Tony Gonzale well, it's going to be upset that I told everybody.

[Pain]

That's great. I'll never look at him the same again.

[Pendergast]

Sorry I divulged your details.

[Pain]

He's going to sign an Amazon prime deal for 20 years starting today. All right, coming up next, we'll get back to the Astros. We'll talk about last night. Is the percentage chance of these guys getting traded from the Astros as high as Jeff Passon thinks it is?

[LinkedIn Advertiser]

We'll discuss flowing ad budget on metrics that look great till the CFO sees them. That's bull spend and marketers are calling it out in Dashboard Confessions.

[Marketer]

I remember telling my boss it'll be good for the brand when leads were slow. Yeah, it it wasn't.
