"Shout out, Bill. Thanks." Listers: A Glimpse into Extreme Birdwatching, by the Reiser Brothers

This isn't going to be for everyone, but if you like the idea of a pair of stoner brothers making a documentary about bird watching by jumping into the hobby with both feet, give this a watch.

I'm watching it now, and it's been highly entertaining. Some salty language, so be warned.

A sample:

"With the bird software still down, we looked to others for guidance."

"We heard this man calling from a ways away, just 'Help! Help!' Just kinda in the distance. And we look over and it's a guy with binoculars in a powered wheelchair, but he's stuck in the mud. And so we go over to help and we push him out, and in exchange for pushing him out and specifically not telling his wife, he told us a lot about birds. He told us about the Elegant Trogon, which was a bird we had never even heard of."

"Just saw the Trojan. The Elegant Trojan. A beautiful bird. Shout out, Bill. Thanks."
