**Brian Ketelsen:** Here what happens is they will leave the gator completely alone until someone complains about it. And at the point that they complain about it, they send in a trapper, and the trapper will kill it and render it for meat, and sell it. So there is no gator relocation program... If you make a phone cal... |
I would like him to harvest his little party somewhere else, not on my little shore. So I'm just using some negative reinforcement therapy. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I keep telling him one of these nights that thing's gonna crawl under the window... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It's gonna try. |
**Luna Duclos:** \[laughs\] The revenge of the gator! |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Where did go off topic? So thanks for breaking out my story to the whole entire world, Erik. I appreciate that, I will remember this... Gator shooter.... \[laughter\] |
**Erik St. Martin:** It's better than the alternative. I remember the first time I learned they put him down; I always thought they relocated him, but... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** No... |
**Erik St. Martin:** ...it turns out that is not correct. They're just worried because if they're a nuisance here, they may be a nuisance somewhere else, and it'll escalate. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Most of the time it's not a problem as long as people aren't feeding them, and things like that. It's usually when they keep coming up on people's properties and people are dumb enough to feed them, and then they start coming to looking for dogs, and things like that. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Kids... |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[01:03:03.18\] There's a lot of them... Like, a million, or a hundred thousand in Florida... There's a lot. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** They used to be an endangered species back in the late '60s, early '70s, and now they are so many of them that they're opening more hunting seasons... It's ridiculous. They're overpopulated now. So our conservation efforts did a great job of keeping the gator alive, and now we have a BB gun problem. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And now each citizen of the state of Florida is issued an alligator when they move here. \[laughter\] So with that, we should probably close out this show, and do a lot of this rambling in our after show... I don't know how many Go programmers are concerned about the gator population in Florida. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I don't know, but I think we just lost half of our listenership with this show... Between gators and hitmen, we're done. Maybe I'm just gonna get voted off the island. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Adam's getting emails now from sponsors... \[laughs\] |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah... This is not a PG show anymore... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright... So with that, thank you everybody for being on the show today. Huge thank you to our listeners, both live and everybody who will be listening to this when this episode is released; a giant thank you to our sponsors for today's episode - Toptal and the Ultimate Go Training Series. |
Definitely share this show with fellow Go programmers, friends, family, co-workers... You can subscribe by going to GoTime.fm. We are on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/GoTimeFM), and if you wanna be on the show, have suggestions for guests or topics, [ping](https://github.com/GoTimeFM/ping) us. |
And we have two Slack channels - there's a Changelog Slack, which we are \#GoTime in, and if you're on GopherSlack, it's [GoTimeFM](https://gophers.slack.com/messages/GoTimeFM). The messages actually cross back and forth, so it doesn't really matter which one you're in. It's kind of a shared channel. With that, we'll s... |
