Speaker 2: She goes downstairs to thekgean clutching and kerchief.
0:15
Speaker 1: Quietly turning the back.
0:18
Speaker 3: Docky stepping outside, cheese is free.
0:26
Speaker 4: She we gave the most of our lives.
0:31
Speaker 5: Is leaving sacrificed most of our live.
0:39
Speaker 4: We gave everything money couches leaving home after living the life.
0:53
Speaker 1: For the snuses.

Speaker 5: His wife gets into her dressing your home for Eggie football,
1:06
Speaker 5: Heggie basketball and Eggie baseball. He'st is on eleven and
1:10

1:11
Speaker 6: This is Gayzy Anny Holley Station Brian check out.
1:15
Speaker 7: The original DJ designs at David Gardner's Jewelers nine to
1:18
Speaker 7: one one University drive in front of audio video.
1:22
Speaker 1: This portion of the program.
1:23
Speaker 7: Is brought to you by the Dollar Floor Store. Coming up,
1:30
Speaker 7: we're gonna hear from Randy Kochiever.
1:32
Speaker 5: He is.
1:34
Speaker 7: Putting tags on Marlin, a pelagic fish that travels long distances,
1:40
Speaker 7: see if they can find out a little bit more
1:41
Speaker 7: about them. We've got lots of animal attacks stories that
1:46
Speaker 7: you need to stay tuned for. Ryan will be in
1:50
Speaker 7: tomorrow on the program Monday. Rusty and Dusty in the
1:57
Speaker 7: new comedy duo that's weeping the nation and then next
2:02
Speaker 7: Tuesday we do not have a show.
2:04
Speaker 8: We've got Astros baseball next Tuesday.
2:08
Speaker 7: A lot of people are issuing a lot of statements.
2:12
Speaker 7: Given the Cidate Commerce Committee voting this morning to move
2:17
Speaker 7: the Protect College Sports Act forward for a full vote
2:22
Speaker 7: to the Senate, the SEC and Big Ten have been.
2:29
Speaker 8: They have been.
2:32
Speaker 7: Opposed because there's certain language that they don't like. And
2:37
Speaker 7: now everybody is putting out statement saying, oh, yeah, well
2:41
Speaker 7: this happened, Oh yeah, well we did this. And I
2:45
Speaker 7: don't think anything's going to be solved at all, which
2:50
Speaker 7: we've talked about many, many times.
2:52
Speaker 1: It's just it's not going to happen.
2:56
Speaker 7: I don't think you're going to get the House and
2:58
Speaker 7: send it to agree on anything. I don't think that
3:02
Speaker 7: you're going to get the conferences to agree on anything.
3:07
Speaker 7: And as Mike Lko told reporters at the spring meetings
3:12
Speaker 7: for the SEC, everybody is in it for themselves. So
3:17
Speaker 7: we'll see what happens with all of that going forward.
3:20
Speaker 7: I don't expect a lot. Scott Livingstone has been selected
3:29
Speaker 7: to the Baseball College Baseball Hall of Fame. It's about time.
3:37
Speaker 7: Three times All Southwest Conference selection and among the best
3:47
Speaker 7: players in the history of the program. All American in
3:51
Speaker 7: eighty eight, two time All American. As a matter of fact,
3:56
Speaker 7: only ten players at eight in baseball history have earned
4:00
Speaker 7: multiple All Americans, so he's in the class along with
4:05
Speaker 7: such players as Buster Posey, who played his college ball
4:09
Speaker 7: at Florida State, Barry Bonds from Arizona State, Dave Clark
4:15
Speaker 7: from Jackson State, Marquise Grissom from Florida A, and M.
4:19
Speaker 7: Bobby Lane from Texas. Eighty years ago, Houston Street, OLIVIV
4:26
Speaker 7: elected to the College Baseball Hall of Fame. The Rangers,
4:31
Speaker 7: I started to say, played baseball this afternoon. They watched
4:34
Speaker 7: Minnesota play baseball this afternoon and come in in sweep
4:38
Speaker 7: Texas in Arlington, a bad Minnesota team nine to three
4:45
Speaker 7: the final. The Rangers cannot get out of the first inning.
4:49
Speaker 7: They can't get people out in the first inning. It
4:54
Speaker 7: doesn't seem to matter who the pitcher is. Today it
4:56
Speaker 7: was Jack Lyder, and he gave up four runs in
5:00
Speaker 7: the first inning. Major League Baseball the MLB Players Association
5:05
Speaker 7: met today to negotiate on a new collective bargaining statements
5:10
Speaker 7: were issued, but that's about the extent of that they're
5:17
Speaker 7: playing the US Open in Southampton, New York, and the
5:25
Speaker 7: winds were gusting up to thirty miles an hour, and
5:31
Speaker 7: the clubhouse leader is Sam Stevens, who shot a sixty
5:37
Speaker 7: eight to two under par. Rory Ludwig Oberg, Brian Harmon,
5:42
Speaker 7: Max Grazerman and Ben James all at one under par
5:47
Speaker 7: in the clubhouse. Keith Mitchell shot a forty one on
5:53
Speaker 7: the front nine and a twenty nine on the back
5:58
Speaker 7: nine for an even part. Keegan Bradley is at even par.
6:03
Speaker 7: Tommy Fleetwood is at even par. A lot of big
6:08
Speaker 7: names in the afternoon out on the course. Scotty finished
6:14
Speaker 7: at two over seventy two today. John Rahm is on
6:23
Speaker 7: the course, Jordan Speet is on the course. So there's
6:30
Speaker 7: a lot of names that teed off this afternoon. They
6:34
Speaker 7: actually syringe the greens between the morning tea time in
6:39
Speaker 7: the afternoon tea time because there have been so much
6:42
Speaker 7: criticism going into how the course was set up the
6:47
Speaker 7: last time the US Open was played there. All right,
6:51
Speaker 7: let's get on with it. We're going to hear an
6:53
Speaker 7: interview I did. It's been a few years as they
6:58
Speaker 7: seek to track Marlin movement in pelagic waters. Let's go
7:07
Speaker 7: to the Polaris Fun Center phone line and we're going
7:10
Speaker 7: to visit with Randy Kochiever. He is a biologist. Randy,
7:14
Speaker 7: how are you.
7:15
Speaker 9: I'm doing great? Thanks, how are you?
7:16
Speaker 8: Thanks for the time. I appreciate it, my pleasure.
7:19
Speaker 7: I ran across this story on the Hawaiian International Billfish
7:25
Speaker 7: Tournament and how they wanted to create this idea about
7:31
Speaker 7: Marlon and how you gather data. And I know that
7:36
Speaker 7: doctor Barbara back Block at Stanford has spent time doing that,
7:40
Speaker 7: and I know you've spent some time doing that, have
7:42
Speaker 7: you not?
7:42
Speaker 9: Absolutely? And I actually work with Barb. I'm here in
7:45
Speaker 9: the block lab as I speak to.
7:47
Speaker 7: You right now, Okay, and tell me how this all
7:50
Speaker 7: got started. And I know that these tracking tags are
7:53
Speaker 7: very expensive, are they not?
7:54
Speaker 9: They are? So this got started back in the late
7:58
Speaker 9: eighties early nineties when when Barb and some other scientists
8:02
Speaker 9: were first pioneering this idea of being able to follow
8:06
Speaker 9: these open ocean fish as they migrate from place to place.
8:11
Speaker 9: And they started working with the anglers at the Hawaiian
8:13
Speaker 9: International Billfish Tournament, which gave them an opportunity to actually
8:18
Speaker 9: get these big fish, these marlin that were being caught
8:20
Speaker 9: in the tournament and put these prototype electronic tags on
8:23
Speaker 9: them and then follow where the billfish went. In the
8:28
Speaker 9: twenty years that have gone past since, there's been a
8:33
Speaker 9: lot of advancement in that technology. And so a couple
8:36
Speaker 9: of years ago was the fiftieth anniversary of the Hawaiian
8:39
Speaker 9: International Billfish Tournament, and they approached us and said, hey,
8:42
Speaker 9: would you work with us to do some sort of
8:44
Speaker 9: a commemorative tagging thing, And so we spun up this
8:48
Speaker 9: idea of a Great Marlin Race where the anglers can
8:51
Speaker 9: sponsor tags and we get the tags on these billfish
8:56
Speaker 9: and then turn it into a bit of contest and
8:58
Speaker 9: see which billfish goes the first.
9:01
Speaker 7: Randy And I know what this is? What the third
9:04
Speaker 7: year for this that you've tracked? Is that true with
9:07
Speaker 7: the marlin.
9:08
Speaker 9: Yeah, we just finished up the third year for the
9:11
Speaker 9: Great Marlin Race in the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament. And
9:14
Speaker 9: we actually have now partnered with the International Game Fish
9:17
Speaker 9: Associate GFA to start tagging bill fish at a series
9:22
Speaker 9: of tournaments all around the world. So we launched that
9:24
Speaker 9: program at Puerto Rico back in September of last year,
9:28
Speaker 9: and we have a bunch of tournaments coming up here quickly,
9:32
Speaker 9: one in February where we're going to be in South
9:34
Speaker 9: Africa and then and then another one in March where
9:37
Speaker 9: we're going to be in Australia, and we'll hope to
9:40
Speaker 9: be visiting Portugal and Japan and kind of all over
9:43
Speaker 9: the world.
9:44
Speaker 7: Now, there there are other fish that have been tracked
9:48
Speaker 7: besides billfish.
9:49
Speaker 8: Right, have you done this with tuna?
9:51
Speaker 9: Absolutely. One of the main species that we've worked with
9:54
Speaker 9: very extensively is Atlantic bluef in tuna, and so we've
9:58
Speaker 9: done a lot of work with those species. We also
10:00
Speaker 9: so do a lot of work with sharks, white sharks
10:02
Speaker 9: and salmon sharks and mako sharks here in the Pacific.
10:05
Speaker 7: I have seen some shows on the white sharks and
10:08
Speaker 7: trying to follow them as well. How beneficial is this
10:12
Speaker 7: information that you've been able to gather so far, And
10:15
Speaker 7: I realized we're early in this process.
10:17
Speaker 9: Absolutely. You know, in a lot of cases, the understanding
10:23
Speaker 9: where these fish are going and how they're using the
10:26
Speaker 9: ocean is really a critical first step in understanding how
10:30
Speaker 9: to manage these populations. So, for example, in the Atlantic
10:35
Speaker 9: years and years ago, there was sort of a line
10:38
Speaker 9: drawn right down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and
10:39
Speaker 9: the idea as well, we'll manage We'll manage the populations
10:42
Speaker 9: on one side of the line one way and on
10:44
Speaker 9: the other side of the line the other way. And
10:47
Speaker 9: as we started tagging and tracking these animals, we realized
10:50
Speaker 9: that in fact they were going back and forth across
10:53
Speaker 9: that line, and so that that really suggested that we
10:56
Speaker 9: needed to think about these populations differently to more effect
11:00
Speaker 9: if we manage them. So these ideas are being integrated
11:03
Speaker 9: now into management strategies for Atlantic bluefintuna and are playing
11:08
Speaker 9: an increasingly important role as we think about both management
11:13
Speaker 9: for harvest species as well as protection of non you know,
11:18
Speaker 9: non consumed species, things like white sharks or something that
11:22
Speaker 9: people aren't catching for food, which in fact are protected
11:26
Speaker 9: species in many parts of the world.
11:28
Speaker 7: If I read this article correctly, you have been able
11:31
Speaker 7: to track at least one marlin up to twenty six
11:34
Speaker 7: hundred miles on the journey across the Pacific.
11:37
Speaker 9: Absolutely, and the distances that a lot of these animals
11:40
Speaker 9: travel is just incredible, and I'm confident that we are
11:43
Speaker 9: going to see tracks that are even longer than those
11:46
Speaker 9: as we continue to tag and track these.
11:49
Speaker 7: Animals, and do you know, other than their quest for food,
11:55
Speaker 7: what are the factors that you can explain that they
12:00
Speaker 7: travel these great distances.
12:03
Speaker 9: Well, I mean, anytime that you talk about animal behavior,
12:06
Speaker 9: you know there are a couple of really basic things
12:08
Speaker 9: that the cause that you hit one exactly is that
12:11
Speaker 9: they're they're in search of food. Another thing, when you're
12:13
Speaker 9: in the open ocean, you have to be able to
12:15
Speaker 9: find mates, and so there may be places where these
12:17
Speaker 9: animals go to breed, to find other members of the
12:20
Speaker 9: same species to reproduce with. A third possibility is that
12:25
Speaker 9: that sometimes animals will go to very specific locations to
12:29
Speaker 9: give birth. So in the case of white sharks, for example,
12:32
Speaker 9: it appears that they may be going to specific parts
12:35
Speaker 9: of the ocean to give birth where they're you know,
12:38
Speaker 9: where they're young will thrive and do well. And then
12:41
Speaker 9: finally it's there's also just the matter of survival. So
12:44
Speaker 9: there are you know, parts of the ocean that tend
12:46
Speaker 9: to get very warm or that tend to have very
12:48
Speaker 9: little oxygen, and so sometimes it's it's it's avoiding those
12:53
Speaker 9: parts of the ocean that that forces an animal to
12:56
Speaker 9: migrate from place to place.
12:57
Speaker 7: A lot aside from commercial fishermen, what is the biggest
13:02
Speaker 7: enemy of the marlin?
13:07
Speaker 9: That's an excellent question, and you know, we're we're so
13:12
Speaker 9: so beginning to learn about the biology of these animals
13:15
Speaker 9: that I'm not sure that I have a really good
13:17
Speaker 9: answer for you. We do know, you know that the
13:21
Speaker 9: the that the harvest of these animals, it's both intentional
13:25
Speaker 9: and incidental, has been so great that that there are
13:29
Speaker 9: places where their populations have been impacted. There's a reason
13:32
Speaker 9: report suggests that that they're that their numbers have been
13:34
Speaker 9: declining really precipitously. But you know, the the other kinds
13:41
Speaker 9: of things that we're certainly concerned about are the o
13:43
Speaker 9: the same things through affecting everything on Earth. Our concerns
13:46
Speaker 9: about the fact that we have these these growing dead
13:49
Speaker 9: zones in the ocean where there's very little oxygen. We
13:52
Speaker 9: know that the oceans are getting warmer, they're getting more acidic,
13:55
Speaker 9: you know, and and all of these things potentially pose
14:00
Speaker 9: pose risks to these animals. But we're just starting to
14:04
Speaker 9: learn about what those risks might be and how serious
14:06
Speaker 9: they might be.
14:07
Speaker 7: Have you mainly targeted blue marlin or have you work
14:10
Speaker 7: with black marlin and stripe marlin as well.
14:13
Speaker 9: That's a great question. We've primarily worked with blue marlin,
14:17
Speaker 9: but that's simply by virtue of the fact that we've
14:20
Speaker 9: partnered with the HIVT, which is almost exclusively blue marlin.
14:26
Speaker 9: As we have gone out and started working now with
14:29
Speaker 9: other tournaments and other events to do this tagging. We
14:33
Speaker 9: now have some tags on black marlin that were tagged
14:35
Speaker 9: off Lizard Island, Australia. We may be tagging some stripers
14:39
Speaker 9: here and there, depending on where these tournaments take place.
14:44
Speaker 9: So I can I can imagine a time, you know,
14:46
Speaker 9: in the not too just a future when we might
14:48
Speaker 9: have all the major marlin species tagged in one place
14:52
Speaker 9: or another.
14:53
Speaker 7: Are are you mostly limited right now by cost?
14:57
Speaker 9: I think that's I think that's a fair assessment. You know,
15:00
Speaker 9: we've we've enjoyed just tremendous generosity both from the anglers
15:05
Speaker 9: that we've worked with and now with the IGFA who's
15:09
Speaker 9: been underwriting that the upfront costs of these tags. But
15:11
Speaker 9: the tags are very expensive by the time by the
15:15
Speaker 9: time we have a tag setup and ready to go,
15:17
Speaker 9: and then we pay for the satellite time to get
15:18
Speaker 9: the data back and everything else. You're looking at about
15:21
Speaker 9: four thousand dollars a pop. And you know, so when
15:24
Speaker 9: you start talking about you know, ten or more tags
15:28
Speaker 9: per tournament, and you know, five or more tournaments per year,
15:32
Speaker 9: it adds up pretty quickly. And so that's that's really
15:35
Speaker 9: always an important part of this is being able to find,
15:39
Speaker 9: you know, those generous people who are willing to help
15:42
Speaker 9: support the work and make sure that we can can
15:44
Speaker 9: keep getting these tags out.
15:45
Speaker 7: Explain to our listeners how the tags work, if you would, Randy.
15:49
Speaker 9: Yeah, So these tags have a couple of sensors on them.
15:53
Speaker 9: The kinds of tags that we use on Marlin are
15:55
Speaker 9: called to pop up archival satellite tag, and so we
16:00
Speaker 9: attach this tag externally to the fish. And the tag
16:05
Speaker 9: has several sensors on it. So it's got a temperature sensor,
16:08
Speaker 9: it's got a depth sensor, and it has a light sensor,
16:11
Speaker 9: and it also has a very accurate clock. And so
16:14
Speaker 9: as this fish swims along, the data that are coming
16:17
Speaker 9: off those sensors are simply being recorded. They're being stored
16:20
Speaker 9: on the tag. It's it's a little computer. For the
16:25
Speaker 9: entire duration of the voyage up to a year. On
16:29
Speaker 9: a predetermined date, the tag pops off, the fish loads
16:34
Speaker 9: to the surface, and all the data are sent back
16:37
Speaker 9: to the lab and so we get a because we
16:42
Speaker 9: have temperature and depth information, we sort of get a
16:44
Speaker 9: profile of this animal's diving behavior and the water temperature
16:48
Speaker 9: that it was going through. And then using the light
16:51
Speaker 9: data that's coming off of it, Between the light information
16:55
Speaker 9: and this very sensitive clock that's on there, we're able
16:57
Speaker 9: to calculate some latitude and longitude that that fish was
17:03
Speaker 9: at each day during the entire journey. And so it's
17:08
Speaker 9: it's sort of using this very very high tech tool
17:11
Speaker 9: and combining it with eighteenth century you know, celestial navigation
17:16
Speaker 9: to be able to figure out latitude and longitude from sunlight.
17:19
Speaker 7: You mentioned a year. How long will these? Is that
17:22
Speaker 7: about the life span of these tags?
17:25
Speaker 9: Yeah, So in the in the milind tagging that we've
17:28
Speaker 9: been doing, we've experimented with different lengths between one hundred
17:31
Speaker 9: and twenty and one hundred and eighty days. We'd like
17:34
Speaker 9: to be able to go beyond that, but the longer
17:37
Speaker 9: you have a tag on, the higher the likelihood that
17:39
Speaker 9: you won't hear back from that tag. So we're always
17:42
Speaker 9: trying to sort of balance, you know, to find that
17:44
Speaker 9: right balance between getting more data and making sure that
17:48
Speaker 9: we get the data back. So we typically work from
17:52
Speaker 9: one hundred and twenty to one hundred and eighty days.
17:54
Speaker 9: We're doing some experiments now to see if we can
17:56
Speaker 9: get out more like you know, two hundred and forty days.
18:00
Speaker 9: That the upper limit is about a year, and that
18:02
Speaker 9: has to do with the amount of data that the
18:04
Speaker 9: tags can store and then successfully transmit back to the
18:08
Speaker 9: laboratory on the battery life that they have.
18:12
Speaker 7: Is there a depth of the ocean at which these
18:15
Speaker 7: tags do not work?
18:16
Speaker 8: Well?
18:17
Speaker 9: There is, I mean for all of these tags, there's
18:19
Speaker 9: a there's a specific crush depth. I think that for
18:22
Speaker 9: the tags that we use. I'm trying to remember what
18:24
Speaker 9: it is offhand. It's it's pretty deep. It's it's like
18:27
Speaker 9: two thousand meters or something like that. And and in
18:31
Speaker 9: this case these you know, with marlin, they typically don't
18:34
Speaker 9: go anywhere close to those depths, so we don't have
18:36
Speaker 9: to worry about the problem.
18:38
Speaker 7: And now I've seen the tags placed on Great whites,
18:41
Speaker 7: they've got the thick dorsal fin.
18:44
Speaker 8: I've seen you attach those.
18:45
Speaker 7: We're on the fish on the marlin.
18:48
Speaker 8: Do you attach the tags?
18:49
Speaker 9: Uh, when we're tagging a marlin, we're we're typically tagging
18:54
Speaker 9: it just over the side of the boat. Sure, so
18:56
Speaker 9: the dart that actually attaches the tag is inserted just
18:59
Speaker 9: under the skin, and it's right below the front of
19:02
Speaker 9: the dorsal fin, kind of the fish's shoulder, if you will,
19:05
Speaker 9: is yes, back from the head, just down on the side,
19:09
Speaker 9: not down into the belly at all, you know.
19:11
Speaker 7: Kind of up on the back of the numbers you
19:15
Speaker 7: tag are what percentages do you actually get data from?
19:18
Speaker 9: It really varies. We have always, at least in the
19:23
Speaker 9: tagging that we've done so far, we've been able to
19:25
Speaker 9: do better than fifty percent consistently. In the event that
19:30
Speaker 9: just finished in Puerto Rico, we actually had one hundred
19:32
Speaker 9: percent recovery. In Hawaii, it looks like we're at about
19:36
Speaker 9: seventy percent this year. So it's in that kind of range,
19:40
Speaker 9: and it's it's surprising how much it varies sort of
19:42
Speaker 9: from year to year.
19:43
Speaker 7: It takes the place you mentioned, this is your third year.
19:47
Speaker 7: At what point do you feel like you you will
19:50
Speaker 7: have enough data to compare that that you think you
19:54
Speaker 7: can start making some presumptions about these animals.
19:57
Speaker 9: That's a that's a really good question. One of the
19:59
Speaker 9: most most interesting things that we found in this first
20:02
Speaker 9: three years that we've worked in hawaiis is In two
20:05
Speaker 9: thousand and nine, several of the fish kind of headed
20:08
Speaker 9: street south or just a little bit southeast, but a
20:12
Speaker 9: bunch of them went all the way across the equator
20:14
Speaker 9: and ended up down near the Marquesas Island in the
20:16
Speaker 9: southern Hemisphere. In twenty ten, they did something completely different.
20:22
Speaker 9: A bunch of them headed more east, I mean almost
20:25
Speaker 9: as if they were headed towards you know, Costa Rica
20:28
Speaker 9: or the Galapagos. And then this past year we had
20:33
Speaker 9: some that headed south again, more towards the Marquesas, but
20:36
Speaker 9: then others that went more east. And so when we
20:39
Speaker 9: see a huge amount of variability like this, it tells
20:42
Speaker 9: us that we need we need more samples before we
20:47
Speaker 9: can start making any sort of generalizations about where we
20:50
Speaker 9: think they go or what we think the factors are.
20:52
Speaker 9: If they were all going the same place here after here,
20:55
Speaker 9: you know, you'd say, after a few years it looks
20:57
Speaker 9: like this is what they do. We're not there yet.
21:00
Speaker 9: I mean with Tuna's you know, we've put over a
21:02
Speaker 9: thousand tags out in Atlantic Loop and Tuna and that's
21:06
Speaker 9: really what it has taken to be able to feel
21:09
Speaker 9: like we have a really good handle on the sort
21:11
Speaker 9: of general patterns of those animals behavior and also understanding
21:15
Speaker 9: the factors that drive it. That's where we'd like to
21:18
Speaker 9: be with Marlin. You know, now, whether we're going to
21:20
Speaker 9: have the luxury of getting a thousand tags out on Marlin,
21:23
Speaker 9: who knows, But you know, we'll take it to a
21:26
Speaker 9: few tags at a time, a few years at a time,
21:28
Speaker 9: and and do our best.
21:30
Speaker 7: What what have you learned personally about the Marlin that
21:33
Speaker 7: you didn't know when you started this project?
21:35
Speaker 9: You know, by training, I'm not even a fish guy,
21:37
Speaker 9: so everything has been new to me. I've really some
21:44
Speaker 9: of the main things that I've learned is, you know,
21:47
Speaker 9: you get from these tags, you get just such great
21:50
Speaker 9: basic information, I mean, seeing how fast they go, seeing
21:53
Speaker 9: how far they travel, and then looking at the profiles
21:59
Speaker 9: of their behavior or thing into you know, they're they're
22:01
Speaker 9: staying down low during the daytime, they're they're coming up
22:04
Speaker 9: near the surface at night, and uh, you know, just
22:09
Speaker 9: just sort of seeing these basic day to day kind
22:13
Speaker 9: of daily life. Marl has been has been really new
22:16
Speaker 9: and really exciting.
22:17
Speaker 7: If you were a fisherman, would you be a better
22:19
Speaker 7: marlin fisherman?
22:20
Speaker 8: Now? Knowing what you know?
22:22
Speaker 9: I don't know about that. I mean, it's still always fishing, yes,
22:26
Speaker 9: And even when we're we're supposed to be the guys
22:28
Speaker 9: that know with what we're doing, you know, we go
22:30
Speaker 9: out there and try to try and tag these and
22:32
Speaker 9: we still get going through.
22:33
Speaker 7: So how how far typically will one of these fish
22:37
Speaker 7: travel in a day?
22:39
Speaker 9: You know, It's funny because I was just just doing
22:42
Speaker 9: that math earlier today and we had a we had
22:45
Speaker 9: a marlin that was averaging about one point six not okay,
22:49
Speaker 9: one point six miles per hour and you know, so
22:53
Speaker 9: that was I think it was like forty forty miles day.
22:57
Speaker 8: Wow, Well will they have a rest? Are they always moving?
23:03
Speaker 10: You know?
23:04
Speaker 9: And I think that for these, for these open ocean fish,
23:06
Speaker 9: they are typically always moving. They're not always going to
23:09
Speaker 9: be moving full speed, but you know, but that's life
23:13
Speaker 9: for them, is to be constantly cruising through the water,
23:15
Speaker 9: constantly looking for food, constantly you know, watching for threats.
23:22
Speaker 9: You know, they're they're not sedentary animals. That's just not
23:25
Speaker 9: how they work.
23:27
Speaker 7: And do you have I mean, as we're speaking as
23:30
Speaker 7: their data coming in from track fish today.
23:33
Speaker 9: Absolutely, we had a we had a tag that that
23:35
Speaker 9: popped up this morning. We're just starting to get data
23:38
Speaker 9: from it. We probably have a handful of tags right
23:43
Speaker 9: now that are still transmitting data. We have several tags
23:47
Speaker 9: that are in the water that we're still waiting to
23:49
Speaker 9: hear from over the next few weeks. We have tags
23:52
Speaker 9: in the water down off Lizard Island, Australia that we're
23:55
Speaker 9: waiting to hear from their four tags down there. So
23:58
Speaker 9: there are there are always tags in the water. There
24:02
Speaker 9: are always tags coming off. And if it's not marlin
24:04
Speaker 9: from this program, it'll be white sharks or tunas.
24:08
Speaker 8: Have you done sailfish?
24:10
Speaker 9: We have not tagged sailfish in this lab. I'm sure
24:14
Speaker 9: that there are people that have tag sailfish. They tend
24:17
Speaker 9: to be a bit smaller, yes, So you know, one
24:20
Speaker 9: of the challenges always with these tags is is really
24:23
Speaker 9: is making sure that we have a big enough animal
24:24
Speaker 9: so that it is.
24:25
Speaker 7: How much do the tags way Randy a way, It's
24:29
Speaker 7: it's about the weight of like a small flashlight.
24:31
Speaker 9: Okay, if you can imagine that, you know, so it's
24:35
Speaker 9: not a it's not a real heavy thing, and it
24:37
Speaker 9: has a foam float on it, so when it's in
24:39
Speaker 9: the water, it's actually a little bit positively boyant. It
24:42
Speaker 9: will float when you know, if it's just dropped in
24:44
Speaker 9: the water, it will actually float to the top.
24:46
Speaker 7: You ever had a fisherman pick one up that didn't
24:48
Speaker 7: know what he was looking at?
24:50
Speaker 9: You know, we get we get contacted pretty pretty often.
24:55
Speaker 9: It's it's occasional, it's not every every month, but but
24:58
Speaker 9: we will occasionally get phone calls. These tags, of course,
25:01
Speaker 9: have all kinds of contact information on them and stuff. Yes,
25:04
Speaker 9: you know, we'll get a call from somebody, Hey, my
25:06
Speaker 9: seven year old was walking along the beach and picked
25:08
Speaker 9: this thing up. It has your number on it. What
25:10
Speaker 9: is it?
25:11
Speaker 8: Can be reused?
25:12
Speaker 9: That came back to us that way a few years ago,
25:15
Speaker 9: but it happens.
25:16
Speaker 8: Can they be reused.
25:19
Speaker 9: No, typically not. I mean theoretically you could probably go
25:22
Speaker 9: cut it open and replace the battery in. We've done
25:25
Speaker 9: that occasionally. But typically when we get a tag back,
25:28
Speaker 9: we're we're much more interested in just getting the data
25:31
Speaker 9: off of it. That's the most important thing. When in
25:35
Speaker 9: one of these tags, even one of these tags that
25:37
Speaker 9: talks to us through the satellite system, we're really just
25:40
Speaker 9: getting a summary, sure, the data sort of the reader's
25:43
Speaker 9: digest version. If we can physically get that tag back
25:46
Speaker 9: in our hands, we can actually get instead of instead
25:49
Speaker 9: of a few time points per day, we can get
25:51
Speaker 9: a time point every thirty sevens now, much higher resolution
25:55
Speaker 9: data on the tag.
25:56
Speaker 7: Is there a place we can go and read about
25:59
Speaker 7: the study or the information?
26:00
Speaker 9: Absolutely, there's a there's a Great Marlin Race website. It's
26:04
Speaker 9: Great Marlin Race dot org.
26:05
Speaker 8: Okay.
26:05
Speaker 9: You can also go on the i g f A website.
26:09
Speaker 9: The address there is i GMR dot i t f
26:12
Speaker 9: A dot org where they talk about the I g
26:14
Speaker 9: F A Great Marlin Race. Okay, and then you can
26:18
Speaker 9: learn more about our lab at TUNA Research dot.
26:21

26:25
Speaker 7: appreciate the information.
26:26
Speaker 8: Fascinating pleasure.
26:27
Speaker 9: I'm happy to talk to you anytime.
26:28
Speaker 8: Hey, thanks a lot. Okay.
26:30
Speaker 7: Randykoachiever is a biologist at Stanford and he is part
26:35
Speaker 7: of this research team that are tracking these marlins all
26:39
Speaker 7: over the world.
26:40
Speaker 1: All right, that's.
26:41
Speaker 7: An interview we did a little while ago with Randy
26:44
Speaker 7: Coachiever and tracking Marlin. And you know John Jones doesn't
26:51
Speaker 7: stock marlin, but he will fix your pond or lake
26:57
Speaker 7: to grow marlin sized bass. How about that for a segue.
27:02
Speaker 7: Do not try that at home. I'm a professional. I
27:05
Speaker 7: want to talk to you a little bit about Luco Ranch,
27:08
Speaker 7: locally owned operated. John and his staff are really good
27:13
Speaker 7: at what they do. They take care of ponds and
27:16
Speaker 7: lakes all over the Southwest, not just this area, all
27:20
Speaker 7: over the Southwest. They build lakes as well, they build docks.
27:26
Speaker 7: They take care of the fish that you already have.
27:31
Speaker 7: They will do an assessment of your pond or lake
27:34
Speaker 7: and figure out why you can't catch anything and tell
27:37
Speaker 7: you how you can and stock it with fish you
27:41
Speaker 7: and your kids and grandkids can enjoy. You'd be surprised
27:45
Speaker 7: at the species that people have at lakes and ponds
27:49

31:32
Speaker 7: be back on Wednesday. I don't know if you saw
31:37
Speaker 7: this or not, but in Southwest Florida, they just shattered
31:45
Speaker 7: records by pulling over four tons of Burmese pythons from
31:51
Speaker 7: the Everglades during one breeding season. One hundred and seventy
32:00
Speaker 7: seven pythons were taken. They averaged ninety five pounds each.
32:08
Speaker 7: The largest seventeen feet one hundred and fifty three pounds.
32:16
Speaker 7: This is the Conservancy of Southwest Florida. They stopped forty
32:24
Speaker 7: one hundred eggs, so forty one hundred more pythons being born.
32:31
Speaker 7: They don't have any natural predators. We've talked about this
32:34
Speaker 7: a lot. They are ruining the ecosystem of the Everglades.
32:40
Speaker 7: One quarter of the stomachs of these one hundred and
32:45
Speaker 7: seventy seven pythons, which is about forty five of them,
32:52
Speaker 7: had white tailed deer in their stomachs. These things are
32:57
Speaker 7: a menace. Eight thousand pounds of python. It gives me
33:04
Speaker 7: the heb gbs just thinking about it. An Alaska woman
33:09
Speaker 7: says a pistol she was carrying helped saved her dog's
33:13
Speaker 7: life after a black bear attacked the animal during a
33:16
Speaker 7: mushroom foraging trip on the Keenai Peninsula Earlier this month.
33:22
Speaker 7: Lori Price was walking near Skillik Lake June seventeenth when
33:29
Speaker 7: her German short haired pointer Chaos and chocolate labrador Willis.
33:37
Speaker 7: The outing turned dangerous. Price told Alaska News Sore she
33:40
Speaker 7: heard a roar and immediately realized a bear had encountered
33:43
Speaker 7: her dogs. I heard the bear, I registered what was
33:46
Speaker 7: going on. My sudden reaction was I have to get
33:48
Speaker 7: my dog now. That would not be my reaction, by
33:51
Speaker 7: the way, When she spotted Chaos being attack, Price to
33:54
Speaker 7: a glock forty three to nine millimeter she was carrying,
33:59
Speaker 7: fired at the bear. I pulled my pistol and I
34:02
Speaker 7: shot boom down Like a sack of potatoes, goes the bear.
34:06
Speaker 1: She recalled.
34:07
Speaker 7: I love that this is an Alaskan woman, pioneer woman,
34:11
Speaker 7: the real pioneer woman.
34:13
Speaker 1: Price believed the danger had passed. That was stupid.
34:16
Speaker 7: As she checked on Chaos, who was suffering from multiple
34:19
Speaker 7: bite wounds and significant blood loss. The bear got back up.
34:24
Speaker 7: Price said, she fired again before the animal rose once more.
34:29
Speaker 7: All of a sudden, the bear gets up again. I'm
34:31
Speaker 7: like what. Price and her dogs ran from the area.
34:35
Speaker 7: The bear headed off into the woods in a different direction.
34:39
Speaker 7: While returning to her vehicle, she called nine to one one,
34:42
Speaker 7: though she said poor cell phone made it difficult to
34:44
Speaker 7: stay connected. After reaching the car, she flagged down. A
34:47
Speaker 7: passing driver told them she and her dog had been attacked.
34:51
Speaker 7: Emergency responders arrived helped care for Chaos. Before Price drove
34:55
Speaker 7: him to a vet clinic. My heart broke, She said.
34:58
Speaker 7: He had so many bite marks. It was like the
35:00
Speaker 7: bear thought he was a little sartine. Price credited the
35:04
Speaker 7: vet was saving the dog's life. Doctor Patrick called me
35:07
Speaker 7: from the vet clinic, I owe him my dog's life.
35:11
Speaker 7: Chaos was released later that day is expected to make
35:14
Speaker 7: a full recovery. Price said the dog has regained his
35:17
Speaker 7: ability to walk and continues to heal. Obviously, we're going
35:22
Speaker 7: through a lot of recovery. That he's lucky to be alive. Hey,
35:29
Speaker 7: you don't go mushroom hunting in Alaska without carrying a
35:32
Speaker 7: pistol and a nine milimeter frankly, is a pretty small
35:36
Speaker 7: pistol to bring down a bear. This lady, she was
35:41
Speaker 7: brave and maybe a little stupid, I got to say.
35:45
Speaker 7: A bear injured four people in a Japanese residential area
35:50
Speaker 7: last week, in the latest attack in the area where
35:53
Speaker 7: the country where animals have increasingly encroached on human population.
35:58
Speaker 7: We have talked about this as nauseum black bears taking
36:02
Speaker 7: over Japan. I mean there was some life threatening injuries inflicted.
36:13
Speaker 7: The government March estimated the overall bear population around fifty
36:18
Speaker 7: seven thousand, eight hundred.
36:21
Speaker 1: They're calling for a system to coll the bears.
36:24
Speaker 7: Under the plan, the number of municipal bear control staff
36:27
Speaker 7: will triple to twenty five hundred, while the number of
36:30
Speaker 7: bear traps will double. Bear sightings in the Tokyo suburbs,
36:37
Speaker 7: the government has stepped up a public awareness campaign. The
36:43
Speaker 7: manual says anyone attack should turn face down, ball up
36:46
Speaker 7: and cover their neck.
36:50
Speaker 1: And kiss themselves goodbye.
36:52
Speaker 7: I don't think they are allowed to carry guns in Japan,
36:54
Speaker 7: so there you go.
36:57
Speaker 1: A pair of.
36:58
Speaker 7: Hikers got a scare of a lifetime walking through Glacier
37:01
Speaker 7: National Park found themselves face to face with two charging grizzlies.
37:09
Speaker 7: Bason van Zealand shared on Instagram he was exploring the
37:13
Speaker 7: park with Alyssa Olsen when the pair cross paths. According
37:17
Speaker 7: to ABC News, other hikers had warned them grizzly had
37:20
Speaker 7: been spotted on the trail, but one bear ran passed
37:25
Speaker 7: the hikers before a second stopped. I was like joking,
37:28
Speaker 7: and then the bear ground and I was like, oh no,
37:31
Speaker 7: this ain't happy times anymore. These people are so stupid.
37:36
Speaker 7: The video shows how quickly the situation escalated.
37:39
Speaker 1: Olsen said, we're going to die. We're actually going to die.
37:43
Speaker 7: At first, the hikers thought they might be able to
37:46
Speaker 7: wait out the encounter. We decided after a few minutes
37:50
Speaker 7: to keep going, stay ready. I guess being optimistic isn't
37:54
Speaker 7: always the best. One of the grizzlies turned its attention
37:57
Speaker 7: toward them. Van Zealand deployed bear spray. It definitely looked
38:01
Speaker 7: at us, and that's when I let out the spray.
38:04
Speaker 1: It turned the other way and ran off into the woods.
38:06
Speaker 7: The tiger hikers later speculated the bears may have been siblings.
38:13
Speaker 7: The humans were unharmed. This story says, thankfully, the bears
38:17
Speaker 7: were unharmed. My story says, thankfully, the humans were unformed, unharmed.
38:25
Speaker 8: Glacier.
38:26
Speaker 7: You want to see grizzlies, this is the park to
38:28
Speaker 7: go to. This happened a month after a hiker was

40:12
Speaker 12: being outscored sixteen to four in those games. Their last

41:55
Speaker 6: Because Doug Company is fine.
41:59
Speaker 7: Welcome back to the Clock Eisenhower. Addition, our animals attack segment.
42:05
Speaker 7: A Louisiana man accused of driving drunk. This cannot end
42:09
Speaker 7: well when that's your opening line. Allegedly fled from state troopers,
42:16
Speaker 7: ran into a swamp, got bitten on both arms by
42:19
Speaker 7: an alligator. Louisiana State Police say forty year old Victor
42:24
Speaker 7: Reeves was arrested after a reckless driving report on Itin
42:30
Speaker 7: and Metarie That's near Nollys, which somehow escalated into a
42:36
Speaker 7: Toyota Supra with a blown tire, a marsh escape, an
42:39
Speaker 7: alligator attack, and a Police drone. According to Louisiana State Police,
42:46
Speaker 7: Troop B troopers first received reports of the Super being
42:49
Speaker 7: driven recklessly on itin the Super allegedly hit a concrete
42:55
Speaker 7: barrier blew attire, which most drivers would take his assign
42:59
Speaker 7: from the universe to stop doing what they were doing,
43:02
Speaker 7: but Revas continued. The car made it to I three
43:06
Speaker 7: ten in Saint Charles Parish, where troopers pulled him over.
43:11
Speaker 7: They identified the driver noted signs of impairment. Revas told
43:15
Speaker 7: them he was just heading home. Then, in a move
43:18
Speaker 7: that suggested his evening itinerary had changed, he made a
43:21
Speaker 7: run for it, jumped off the highway into the marsh.
43:27
Speaker 7: Troopers in Saint Charles Parish Sheriff's Office deputies later found
43:32
Speaker 7: him walking along US sixty one, known locally as Airline Highway.
43:36
Speaker 7: When they approached, turned and ran right back into the swamp.
43:41
Speaker 7: According to Trooper Kyle Wagner, uh Revas then tried to
43:47
Speaker 7: swim across the canal. After running into the swamp a
43:50
Speaker 7: second time, Wagner said that's when the alligator stopped him.
43:57
Speaker 7: Even after getting attacked by the gator, he continued to
44:00
Speaker 7: evade arrest.
44:01
Speaker 1: This guy's determined got to give him that.
44:04
Speaker 7: The alligator reportedly bit Revius on both arms, which would
44:08
Speaker 7: normally be fairly persuasive, but he continued to run Troopers
44:15
Speaker 7: in Saint Charles Parish deputies eventually enlisted a drone to
44:19
Speaker 7: track him through the swamp. After surviving the crash. Fleeing
44:24
Speaker 7: the scene the swamp, the gator, Revas was finally taken
44:27
Speaker 7: into custody.
44:36
Speaker 1: Man, that's uh.
44:40
Speaker 8: Can't make that stuff up.
44:42
Speaker 7: I'm just telling you you cannot make that stuff up.
44:47
Speaker 7: A pair of rowdy raccoons been a seven year old
44:50
Speaker 7: boy at an adult, and two separate attacks in a
44:53
Speaker 7: New York City suburb of Ridgewood, New Jersey, last week.
44:59
Speaker 7: The boy was bit on his upper leg. It's around
45:03
Speaker 7: seven o'clock. The adult was nipped. I don't know if
45:10
Speaker 7: they read this. It said the adult was ripped on
45:14
Speaker 7: private property. Man, that has got to hurt at all costs.
45:20
Speaker 7: Keep raccoons away from your private property. Both victims received
45:28
Speaker 7: treatment for rabies. The attacks took place in a broad daylight,
45:32
Speaker 7: which typically indicates that's not good. Ridgewood officials considering laying
45:39
Speaker 7: rabies vaccination pellets in areas where woodland mammals frequent that
45:43
Speaker 7: would be good. They have seated Raby's pellets for years,
45:49
Speaker 7: noting that vaccinated bait does not pose a threat to
45:52
Speaker 7: animals or people. Local officers searching for the coons responsible
45:58
Speaker 7: for these sneak attacks, they warned against feeding, approaching, handling
46:04
Speaker 7: any wild animal. Always good advice. Our animals attack segment
46:12
Speaker 7: is brought to you by Shulty Roofing, Home of the
46:15
Speaker 7: Bulletproof Roof Guarantee.
46:18
Speaker 14: It was after a hailstorm a few years back. I
46:20
Speaker 14: needed a new roof. Yeah, I shopped around and then
46:23
Speaker 14: I found Shorlty Roofing, and boy, I'm glad I did.
46:25
Speaker 8: The folks at.
46:26
Speaker 14: Shulty guided me every step of the way. They showed
46:29
Speaker 14: me my options. They told me what my out of
46:31
Speaker 14: pocket cost would be after insurance. They took the complication
46:34
Speaker 14: out of an otherwise very stressful situation. They took off
46:37
Speaker 14: the damage roof, put on the new roof, did all
46:39
Speaker 14: the cleanup, and I had my new roof in one day.
46:45
Speaker 14: The Home by the.
46:46
Speaker 10: Bullet Roof.
46:50
Speaker 7: Welcome back to the Clark Eisenhower Outdoor. Addition, a seven
46:55
Speaker 7: year old boy was mauled to death by a crazed
46:59
Speaker 7: pet monkey that his grandfather had rescued while he was
47:02
Speaker 7: playing outside. The grandfather was playing outside, the boy was
47:07
Speaker 7: playing outside. Poorly written story. Ekret Shrishan screamed in pain
47:14
Speaker 7: as the macaw named Choke sank its fangs into his
47:19
Speaker 7: chest and wrestled the boy to the ground outside of
47:23
Speaker 7: his home in Thailand. Neighbors heard the primate sickening screeches.
47:30
Speaker 7: Relatives found Ekrat covered with bites and scratches, and the
47:35
Speaker 7: four year old monkey with blood dripping from his mouth.
47:41
Speaker 7: The doctor told me my son couldn't survive because the
47:44
Speaker 7: monkey bite punctured his lung and bit a vital area,
47:49
Speaker 7: said the boy's mom. If it hadn't struck that spot,
47:53
Speaker 7: he would have been okay. She said she will no
47:57
Speaker 7: longer keep monkeys as pets. Man, I mean, what does
48:04
Speaker 7: it take. Ekret's grandfather, who had rescued the monkey from
48:08
Speaker 7: the side of the road, released Choke.
48:11
Speaker 1: Into the mountains. After the deadly incident.
48:14
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, police and wildlife are looking for the
48:19
Speaker 7: monkey out of fears it might attack others, you think,
48:23
Speaker 7: Fortunately it was found and captured. Neighbors say the monkey
48:29
Speaker 7: was known to be aggressive, would growl and gnash its teeth.
48:33
Speaker 7: It had previously killed a stray cat. Well, you know,
48:36
Speaker 7: I'm okay with that. But owning macause is legal in Thailand.
48:43
Speaker 7: It's not one world, people, but it's strictly regulated. But
48:49
Speaker 7: keeping wild, caught or protected macause without authorization can result
48:55
Speaker 7: in fines prosecution. What grandfather in the world lets a
49:03
Speaker 7: monkey that just killed his grandson go back into the
49:08
Speaker 7: woods in the world, Holy Moley. A gang of wild
49:19
Speaker 7: turkeys ambushed a woman on her evening walk in Alameda,
49:25
Speaker 7: northern California, leaving her badly bloody and requiring stitches. I
49:32
Speaker 7: would head first. I broke my glasses, I had the
49:35
Speaker 7: palm of my hand, my thumb. I bled from the nose,
49:38
Speaker 7: said Mary Joe Kelly, who's eighty three. The encounter left
49:42
Speaker 7: her with severe bruising across her face after escaping the
49:47
Speaker 7: attacking birds. People turkeys. They're so cute, aren't they?
49:53
Speaker 1: Wild turkeys?
49:55
Speaker 7: They will kill you if given the chance. All these
50:00
Speaker 7: wild animals are out to kill you. Get them before
50:05
Speaker 7: they get you. Kelly called her husband, rushed to the emergency.
50:11
Speaker 7: Doctors performed a CT scan treated her injury. She needed
50:16
Speaker 7: six stitches. The ordeal left her shaken and demanding action
50:21
Speaker 7: from city officials. Hey, this is California, lady. You have
50:26
Speaker 7: lived in California long enough to know that city officials
50:29
Speaker 7: don't give a damn about people. They are there to
50:33
Speaker 7: protect animals. The animals are much more valuable than you are.
50:39
Speaker 1: You should know that. But don't be moving to Texas.
50:44
Speaker 1: We got too many of you here already.
50:46
Speaker 7: She contacted Alameta police to follow a report, but said
50:50
Speaker 7: officers told her they could not take a report because
50:55
Speaker 7: the incident involved wildlife. If a dog bites you, she said,
51:01
Speaker 7: of course they're going to pick them up. If that's domestic,
51:05
Speaker 7: they're ignoring the problem.
51:07
Speaker 1: Basically.
51:08
Speaker 7: Emily Crumb, animal control officer, says the city currently cannot
51:13
Speaker 7: remove wild turkeys. You give me about two minutes in
51:20
Speaker 7: Alameda and I will remove those wild turkeys, and I
51:24
Speaker 7: will give the turkeys to people who need to eat.
51:30
Speaker 7: And in northern California, the way taxes are, that's probably everybody.
51:35
Speaker 7: Crumb explained that birds are in their spring mating season
51:40
Speaker 7: and they can become more aggressive, saying, hey, a turkey
51:44
Speaker 7: recently attacked a dog, Well, they'll do something about that.
51:47
Speaker 7: If a turkey attacks a dog, they will be there
51:49
Speaker 7: in seconds. But let an animal attack a human, it's like, Eh,
51:55
Speaker 7: that's your fault.
51:57
Speaker 1: Kelly says.
51:57
Speaker 7: She refuses to let the birds keep her indoors forever,
52:00
Speaker 7: but now she's staying closer to home and steering clear
52:03
Speaker 7: of the turkeys. Pretty scary, she said, kind of shell shock.
52:08
Speaker 7: And this isn't the first time. By the way, this
52:11
Speaker 7: is not the first time. Hey, we're talking about California people.
52:18
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. We're talking about California. Get
52:24
Speaker 7: them before.
52:26
Speaker 8: They get you.
52:27
Speaker 7: And I'm talking about the California officials now, not the animals. Hey,
52:31
Speaker 7: I want you to go see my friend Bubba Dixon.
52:34
Speaker 7: He's at Tagler Chevrolet in.
52:39
Speaker 8: Sealy.
52:40
Speaker 7: Occasionally you'll find him hanging out at Tagler Toyota in Brenham.
52:46
Speaker 7: But if you want a deal on a car, new

Speaker 7: or used, the Tagler family are going to make you
52:52
Speaker 7: a deal. They're not going to be any hidden fees.
52:54
Speaker 7: They're not going to quote you one price and get
52:57
Speaker 7: you in the room and you say, hey, what's that
53:00
Speaker 7: one hundred dollars and then they'll go, oh, that's then
53:02
Speaker 7: they'll just trail off because unfortunately most dealers do this Okay,
53:08
Speaker 7: they don't do that at Tagler. That's why they've been
53:10
Speaker 7: in business over forty years. The Tagler family won't allow that.
53:13
Speaker 7: And you know Babba, he's been part of our community
53:16
