- 0:55Speaker 1: Doctor Randall Williams, and who actually knows how to use
- 1:02Speaker 1: her fists? Schneider Gran, what would you do instead of this?
- 1:06Speaker 2: Well, I'm not great at punching, but it's more like
- 1:09Speaker 2: a headlock type.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Sure. Sure, she's all about submission. That's what is that?
- 1:17Speaker 2: Not?
- 1:17Speaker 1: Right? Keep going? When was last time you were in
- 1:19Speaker 1: a dojo? Phil?
- 1:21Speaker 3: There's another bullet point beneath that one.
- 1:25Speaker 1: We have all sorts of great stuff for you today,
- 1:27Speaker 1: including fake news hosted by Doctor Randall. Guests such as
- 1:35Speaker 1: Tidepool Tim from Gulf of Maine Ink, which I'm super
- 1:39Speaker 1: excited for. You got some great questions for tide Pool
- 1:41Speaker 1: Tim and Jordan Sellers, who, as you know, contributes a
- 1:48Speaker 1: heck of a lot around the Old Meat Eater universe,
- 1:51Speaker 1: from editorial to working on Cow's Weekend review, all your
- 1:56Speaker 1: awesome like gun controversial, highly controversial gun on gun episode
- 2:02Speaker 1: or article articles thank you on the website. Jordan has
- 2:07Speaker 1: been working on a super cool new project in the
- 2:10Speaker 1: true crime genre. Yeah, we're very excited to bring that
- 2:16Speaker 1: to you. Phil's gonna make that noise the whole time
- 2:18Speaker 1: because we don't have that's probably like the Law and
- 2:22Speaker 1: Order theme song thing is probably not something that we
- 2:25Speaker 1: can just rip off. Anyway, I'm gonna start off the
- 2:30Speaker 1: show by giving you what you really want, which is
- 2:32Speaker 1: like a policy in Federal Lands Update in the segment
- 2:37Speaker 1: that somebody decided to call callan leashed. Oh wow, that's great.
- 2:52Speaker 1: I'm so glad I cut my own hair for this.
- 2:58Speaker 1: It's true. Do you think I paid for it? Come on, okay,
- 3:01Speaker 1: Public Lands Update. We're gonna start with the good stuff first.
- 3:05Speaker 1: A tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, one of the highest
- 3:09Speaker 1: federal courts in all of the land, just issued their
- 3:14Speaker 1: judgment their decision on the second Federal appeal of the
- 3:19Speaker 1: Corner Crossing case in Wyoming. This is huge for folks
- 3:24Speaker 1: who aren't familiar with corner crossing, you will be shortly.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Phil's gonna bring it up for you. If we can't
- 3:30Speaker 1: get it up there, go to on X corner locked
- 3:32Speaker 1: report and it just gives you a very good, easy
- 3:36Speaker 1: breakdown of what we're talking about. But it's checkerboard and
- 3:40Speaker 1: where the corners of the squares come together. That is
- 3:44Speaker 1: how our land system's kind of broken down in the US.
- 3:48Speaker 1: So stepping from one piece of public let's say, a
- 3:52Speaker 1: black square to a black square at that corner, seems
- 3:56Speaker 1: very straightforward, and by God, according to the judges it is.
- 4:02Speaker 1: If you can wrap your head around this, stepping from
- 4:05Speaker 1: public land to public land is legal. That's pretty much it.
- 4:12Speaker 1: That's pretty much the update. A lot of people don't
- 4:14Speaker 1: understand why this is controversial. It never should have been.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Please read the decision out of the Tenth Circuit Court,
- 4:22Speaker 1: a really great read, some good history on how these
- 4:27Speaker 1: lands came together and how certain unsavory folks decided to
- 4:33Speaker 1: try to tie up a bunch of Western land, miles
- 4:40Speaker 1: and miles and miles, hundreds of millions of acres of
- 4:44Speaker 1: western land through strategic purchases of small chunks of private
- 4:47Speaker 1: land in an effort to block folks out of public land.
- 4:53Speaker 1: I have a bunch of internal knowledge on this. But
- 4:59Speaker 1: James Harrington, who we call him Jim, he was a
- 5:02Speaker 1: board member for Backcountry Hunters and Anglers North American board member.
- 5:08Speaker 1: He gave me an assessment of the situation because this
- 5:12Speaker 1: still can be appealed by ironbire holdings, and so that
- 5:21Speaker 1: you know, it's a threat that this may not be
- 5:23Speaker 1: actually over. But according to Old Jim, he says, the
- 5:29Speaker 1: judge or the judge is there's a whole list of
- 5:33Speaker 1: judges in the Tenth Circuit. They were appointed by George Bush,
- 5:37Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan, and Obama. This case ain't getting turned over
- 5:42Speaker 1: at the Supreme Court, and it's the law until it's not.
- 5:49Speaker 1: And the Supreme Court probably wouldn't even be able to
- 5:53Speaker 1: hear an appeal for two to three years. So what
- 6:02Speaker 1: that means is they upheld the original Federal court decision
- 6:07Speaker 1: in the Ninth Circuit at the Tenth Circuit. This applies
- 6:13Speaker 1: to basically basically like Tenth Circuit jurisdiction, which is Utah, Colorado, Wyoming.
- 6:20Speaker 1: These little spits of Yellowstone National Park, the y NP
- 6:25Speaker 1: that that stick out into Idaho and Montana, but not elsewhere. However,
- 6:34Speaker 1: this is the big thing states like Montana that have
- 6:39Speaker 1: a lot millions acres of corner locked land. This is
- 6:46Speaker 1: the only case that has ever been tried to address
- 6:51Speaker 1: this specific question. So let's say I go out here
- 6:57Speaker 1: in my home state and I do crazy thing of
- 7:01Speaker 1: stepping from public land to public land, and somebody says
- 7:05Speaker 1: I don't like that, and they want to they want
- 7:09Speaker 1: to sue take me to court. Their lawyer would say, hey,
- 7:13Speaker 1: I want to take all your money. For sure. Don't
- 7:16Speaker 1: want to get in the way of that. But just
- 7:18Speaker 1: so you know, here's a Wyoming case, Here's a ninth
- 7:25Speaker 1: Circuit court case, here's a tenth circuit court case that
- 7:29Speaker 1: all says this is totally legal, and by the way,
- 7:33Speaker 1: it always has been. So I'll take your money. We
- 7:37Speaker 1: can take this dude to court, but this is what
- 7:40Speaker 1: we're up against. You shouldn't do that, OK. But that
- 7:50Speaker 1: that's where we're at right now. So a big round
- 7:53Speaker 1: of applause, huge, huge thanks to Wyoming back huntry hunters
- 7:57Speaker 1: and anglers who were the folks who got a whole
- 8:00Speaker 1: of the Missouri corner crossers and said, hey, we got
- 8:03Speaker 1: your back. We're gonna do whatever we can to raise
- 8:07Speaker 1: money for your legal fees and Backhountry hunters and anglers
- 8:12Speaker 1: for backing up Wyoming BHA and super proud to say
- 8:17Speaker 1: that here at Meat Eater we kicked in a bunch
- 8:20Speaker 1: of cash and facilitated a bunch of cash through our
- 8:23Speaker 1: land access initiative, and tons and tons of thanks to
- 8:27Speaker 1: all of the folks in the Meat Eater world who
- 8:30Speaker 1: contributed to that, because this is the result. Millions of
- 8:37Speaker 1: acres of land formerly corner locked have now been unlocked
- 8:43Speaker 1: through common sense. That just took a long time to
- 8:47Speaker 1: get to it. Yeah, what'd you think of my rundown corn?
- 8:51Speaker 2: I thought that was great, especially yeah, that it's ten
- 8:56Speaker 2: circuit court jurisdiction. When I first saw that, I was
- 8:59Speaker 2: just wondering when I first saw the headline what states
- 9:02Speaker 2: it applies to. But you know, that's the power of precedent.
- 9:07Speaker 2: It might be a deterrent for you know, people to
- 9:12Speaker 2: potentially bring lawsuits if this were to happen in other states. Yeah,
- 9:16Speaker 2: outside of tenh circuit jurisdiction.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Speaking with the legal team, one piece of insider info
- 9:24Speaker 1: was the judge that we got does not like us
- 9:30Speaker 1: and so for this judgment to come out of that judge,
- 9:34Speaker 1: they were super super stoked.
- 9:37Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Great, Yeah, so that was really cool. All right. Next
- 9:40Speaker 1: big piece of news that affects all of us is
- 9:45Speaker 1: the Interior Department Secretary Burgham and hud led by Secretary
- 9:55Speaker 1: Oh sorry, where's my notes here, Scott Turner. Okay, we're
- 10:06Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of acronyms here, but I'm gonna
- 10:07Speaker 1: try to get through this really quick, uh joint statement, okay.
- 10:12Speaker 1: And and resources or your sources in general are very
- 10:15Speaker 1: important here. So a tool that I've been using lately
- 10:20Speaker 1: is the Federal Register. Okay. So anything that happens with
- 10:27Speaker 1: our federal government, it's supposed to be transparent. So there's
- 10:30Speaker 1: documentation on the Federal Register every single day of all
- 10:36Speaker 1: of this stuff. That is the source material. Okay. There
- 10:42Speaker 1: may be a little bias and interpretation on my part
- 10:46Speaker 1: here and there, but that's why you should get off
- 10:49Speaker 1: your butts and go read it for yourself, the Federal Register.
- 10:54Speaker 3: Okay.
- 10:55Speaker 1: And this is a statement out of the Department of
- 10:57Speaker 1: the Interior and out of the what is it, Housing Authority,
- 11:03Speaker 1: Housing and Urban Development? Housing and urban Development. I just
- 11:07Speaker 1: want to jump in really quickly for the very first
- 11:09Speaker 1: time in radio life. Looks like we're having some some
- 11:11Speaker 1: connection issues. I don't even know if you can hear
- 11:14Speaker 1: us or see us right now. If that's the case,
- 11:17Speaker 1: people listening to the podcast the next day, this will
- 11:20Speaker 1: be you'll be able to hear everything perfectly fine. So,
- 11:24Speaker 1: because it is the first time this has happened, I
- 11:25Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen to the video, but
- 11:27Speaker 1: I think we just just keep rolling on with the show,
- 11:29Speaker 1: Cal because oh streamyard crash, whoa, whoa.
- 11:34Speaker 3: No, yeah, my internet is down.
- 11:36Speaker 5: Oh the whole the whole okay, great, Well for the
- 11:38Speaker 5: podcast people, we're going to leave this in the You know,
- 11:40Speaker 5: it looks like the internet crashed for the for the
- 11:42Speaker 5: whole building.
- 11:43Speaker 1: So that's great, fantastic, shouldn't.
- 11:45Speaker 3: Be a big deal. No, Cal, why don't you just
- 11:48Speaker 3: keep carrying on?
- 11:49Speaker 5: Well, I mean no, I don't think we should now.
- 11:53Speaker 5: I think we should figure out what's going on here.
- 11:55Speaker 5: Wait until this comes back up.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Are we back?
- 11:59Speaker 3: Can you hear us?
- 12:00Speaker 2: Now?
- 12:00Speaker 1: Yeah? Please?
- 12:01Speaker 5: People in the live chat let me know if if
- 12:03Speaker 5: we are back on. We had internet drop out for
- 12:07Speaker 5: the whole building here.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Jeff Widra has a great question. Did you unplug it
- 12:13Speaker 1: and plug it back?
- 12:14Speaker 3: Okay, yep, guys, this is an unprecedented technical error. Yeah,
- 12:19Speaker 3: out of our hands.
- 12:21Speaker 1: I see a bunch of you guys are pointing towards
- 12:23Speaker 1: Elon Musk taking us down. You know, we can't confirm
- 12:26Speaker 1: or deny that corner.
- 12:30Speaker 2: Thanks boondogging.
- 12:33Speaker 3: Well, let's get back to the old federal lands.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, sorry, so hopefully folks remember the Federal Register. Okay,
- 12:45Speaker 1: it's it's the the daily documentation of what's going on
- 12:48Speaker 1: in the government. That's the source material. Here. We had
- 12:53Speaker 1: our Interior Secretary Doug Bergham, and why can't I remember
- 12:59Speaker 1: Scott Turner's name? At the Housing and Urban Development they
- 13:03Speaker 1: made a joint statement saying the Interior Department oversees more
- 13:08Speaker 1: than five hundred million acres of federal land, much of
- 13:10Speaker 1: it suitable for residential use. Streamlining the regulatory process is
- 13:15Speaker 1: a cornerstone of this partnership. Historically, building on federal land
- 13:19Speaker 1: is a nightmare of red tape, lengthy environmental reviews, complex
- 13:22Speaker 1: transfer protocols, in disjointed agency priorities. This partnership will cut
- 13:27Speaker 1: through the bureaucracy. Interior will reduce the red tape behind
- 13:31Speaker 1: land transfers or leases to public housing authorities, nonprofits, and
- 13:36Speaker 1: local governments. Housing and urban development will ensure these projects
- 13:40Speaker 1: align with affordability goals and development needs. This isn't a
- 13:45Speaker 1: free for all to build on federal lands, although we
- 13:49Speaker 1: recognize that bad faith critics will likely call it that,
- 13:54Speaker 1: it's a strategic effort to use our resources responsibly while
- 13:58Speaker 1: preserving our most beautiful land. Well, a little trick for
- 14:06Speaker 1: you when we talk about public speaking is you don't
- 14:09Speaker 1: feed your audience the things that then spawn bad faith criticism,
- 14:16Speaker 1: such as saying that much of five hundred million acres
- 14:21Speaker 1: of public land is suitable for housing, or that you're
- 14:29Speaker 1: going to remove the regulations such as environmental reviews and
- 14:33Speaker 1: oversight which is currently happening, because that does create like
- 14:41Speaker 1: a bad faith critic. Yes, and I'll just say, like
- 14:46Speaker 1: I don't have a whole lot of faith here that
- 14:52Speaker 1: what we've seen in the last two months is capable
- 14:56Speaker 1: of making well thought out decisions, right. I'm referring, of
- 15:03Speaker 1: course to the super metallic off brand Doge Chainsaw. What
- 15:10Speaker 1: we need here is well thought out decision making. I
- 15:16Speaker 1: was like visibly physically distraught and angry when this came
- 15:21Speaker 1: out because I just do not like where this is heading.
- 15:28Speaker 1: The reality, though, is that there has always been a
- 15:31Speaker 1: process for selling federally managed land that's provided for in
- 15:38Speaker 1: what is referred to as FLIPMA, which is Federal Land
- 15:42Speaker 1: Policy Management Act, and there's a ceiling of twenty five
- 15:49Speaker 1: hundred acres before Congress would have to be involved in
- 15:53Speaker 1: the decision to release larger tracts of land. It's nice
- 15:59Speaker 1: that the stuff's provided for. Everything is supposed to go
- 16:05Speaker 1: through an environmental review called NIPA, which is the National
- 16:09Speaker 1: Environmental Policy Act, came in in nineteen seventy. You know,
- 16:15Speaker 1: like basically the seventies were this kind of point in
- 16:20Speaker 1: time where people were like, oh my god, we've almost
- 16:25Speaker 1: killed off things. Now we can bring them back. Notably
- 16:30Speaker 1: at that time, like bald Eagles and DDT right, that
- 16:34Speaker 1: was a government action and people could see the benefits
- 16:40Speaker 1: of protecting the environment. I'm trying to wrap this up
- 16:45Speaker 1: because I wrote like two thousand words on this, which
- 16:50Speaker 1: I'll put in like the Cow's Week in Review podcasts.
- 16:52Speaker 1: We can keep your all snappy here, but basically, we
- 16:57Speaker 1: only have so much land will never be enough. Our
- 17:02Speaker 1: population keeps rising. The idea that we're at some like
- 17:08Speaker 1: a crazy critical mass and it just has to happen
- 17:12Speaker 1: right now is total malarchy. It's super shortsighted. Yes, we
- 17:19Speaker 1: need more affordable housing, and this land is so valuable
- 17:25Speaker 1: if you actually think in the long term that these
- 17:30Speaker 1: processes that we have in place from the Council of
- 17:34Speaker 1: Environmental Quality, which is supposed to be the executive I
- 17:41Speaker 1: don't know liaison for NEPA, they're supposed to be able
- 17:48Speaker 1: to talk to the agencies say this is how NPA,
- 17:52Speaker 1: which started out as a four page document four pages,
- 17:55Speaker 1: which is pretty darn efficient in nineteen seventy, how that
- 18:01Speaker 1: is supposed to be implemented, what's supposed to be taken
- 18:05Speaker 1: into consideration, and then they tell the president what it
- 18:10Speaker 1: is the CEQ NEPA. That's not something that says a
- 18:16Speaker 1: project cannot happen. All it's supposed to say is here
- 18:21Speaker 1: is what is at risk, here's what could happen to
- 18:26Speaker 1: what is ever on the ground, and also here's what
- 18:30Speaker 1: could happen if we did nothing. It's really an accountability
- 18:35Speaker 1: exercise for the US government that says, here is our impact,
- 18:41Speaker 1: this is what we knew when we took an action,
- 18:45Speaker 1: we knew the possible implementation, the ramifications of our actions. Right,
- 18:52Speaker 1: there's a great this is from you gotta listen to this.
- 19:02Speaker 1: This is like the best best quote. This is nineteen
- 19:05Speaker 1: seventy our government. Senator Henry Jackson state, it's mister President.
- 19:15Speaker 1: It is my view that NEPA has passed by the
- 19:20Speaker 1: Senate and now, as agreed upon by the Conference Committee,
- 19:23Speaker 1: is the most important and far reaching environmental and conservation
- 19:27Speaker 1: measure ever enacted by the Congress. NEPA is a congressional
- 19:33Speaker 1: declaration that we do not intend, as a government or
- 19:37Speaker 1: as people to initiate actions which endanger the continued existence
- 19:42Speaker 1: or the health of mankind. That we will not initially
- 19:45Speaker 1: initiate actions which will do irreparable damage to the air, land,
- 19:50Speaker 1: and water which support life on earth. That was written
- 19:55Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy by our government. And what has happened, basically,
- 20:05Speaker 1: to wrap this up in a tidy as nutshell as
- 20:08Speaker 1: we can, we have a process for selling federally managed
- 20:14Speaker 1: public lands. They're supposed to be looking for marginal lands
- 20:18Speaker 1: that they determine to be marginal, of which I will
- 20:23Speaker 1: be honest, like we do have chunks of lamb that
- 20:26Speaker 1: are not providing like major ecological benefits, not beautiful habitat,
- 20:34Speaker 1: you could make the case. And literally under the Biden administration,
- 20:37Speaker 1: this happened. Under the first Trump administration, this happened, and
- 20:42Speaker 1: it's happened prior to that, where we have made decisions
- 20:47Speaker 1: to sell public land to municipalities, trade it to other entities.
- 20:53Speaker 1: And some of that's happening right now. And they're like
- 20:56Speaker 1: weird things that are like this is a chunk of
- 20:59Speaker 1: grind that currently exists within an airport that is a
- 21:06Speaker 1: federal chunk of ground right like it's it's fenced off
- 21:09Speaker 1: jets land on the damn thing Like it's not of
- 21:13Speaker 1: environmental you know, value to us. So there are things
- 21:19Speaker 1: like that. What I am asking is that the controls
- 21:26Speaker 1: that have been put in place to value these lands
- 21:29Speaker 1: and value the impacts that we are going to have
- 21:32Speaker 1: on these lands actually remain in place. However, the NEPA
- 21:36Speaker 1: process is right now in a thirty day review to
- 21:40Speaker 1: be rolled back CEQ right the administration that that is
- 21:46Speaker 1: there to interpret NEPA, which can, by the way, already
- 21:52Speaker 1: set carve outs within the process to make things super fast.
- 21:57Speaker 1: And something that has been used many many times over
- 22:00Speaker 1: many administrations. The new secretary or not secretarial order, but
- 22:08Speaker 1: the new marching orders for CEQ are too basically do
- 22:18Speaker 1: the NEPA thing. But keep in mind that we're going
- 22:22Speaker 1: to cap you on time spending and if a entity
- 22:31Speaker 1: that wants the land comes to you with their own review,
- 22:35Speaker 1: that should be prioritized over the NEPA review, which is
- 22:42Speaker 1: a little concerning to me because we are not making
- 22:45Speaker 1: any more land. It's only going to be more valuable.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Why sell it? Now? That's that's kind of my rant.
- 22:54Speaker 1: I can go way way on and I will on
- 22:57Speaker 1: my own podcast, not not for you good people. Phil.
- 23:03Speaker 3: Should we go to Tidepool Tim? Now?
- 23:06Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do Tiple Tim first.
- 23:07Speaker 5: Then how about we hit fake news after Tidepool.
- 23:09Speaker 1: Let's do that sound good? Yeah, let's bring him in
- 23:12Speaker 1: if you want to set that up. Cal Oh, oh,
- 23:17Speaker 1: we're gonna go to Tidepool Tam right now. Yeah, we're
- 23:20Speaker 1: around at all, right, coming in from Cobbs Cook Bay,
- 23:24Speaker 1: excited to learn how to really say that is Gopher
- 23:29Speaker 1: Maine inks. Tim Sheam aka aka Tidepool Tam Timmy there, Hello,
- 23:38Speaker 1: welcome to the show.
- 23:40Speaker 6: Well, thanks for having me on today.
- 23:41Speaker 7: It's kind of a cold, windy day here on the
- 23:44Speaker 7: coast of Maine.
- 23:45Speaker 6: We're way up the coast, right on the border.
- 23:48Speaker 7: With Atlantic Canada, so I mean, I don't like to swim,
- 23:51Speaker 7: but for about five miles as the crow flies across
- 23:55Speaker 7: to the New Brunswick and then of course Nova Scotia
- 23:58Speaker 7: and the Bay of Fundy.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Well, according to TV and Stephen King and all the
- 24:04Speaker 1: other things about Maine, it's always cold, gray and windy
- 24:07Speaker 1: there it is.
- 24:09Speaker 7: And we had hoped to join you guys at low tide,
- 24:13Speaker 7: which was a couple hours ago, but right now we're
- 24:15Speaker 7: about mid tide or so, and you can see behind
- 24:18Speaker 7: me this huge tidal river that's flowing in and a
- 24:22Speaker 7: lot of what we do here and my ability to
- 24:24Speaker 7: have this marine supply business is because of all of
- 24:28Speaker 7: this moving water and all the productivity and this amazing
- 24:31Speaker 7: abundant ecosystem.
- 24:32Speaker 6: So I'm excited to share that with you guys and
- 24:34Speaker 6: you're listeners.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Yeah, can you give us a quick breakdown of what
- 24:40Speaker 1: Gulf of Maine is, what you guys do.
- 24:44Speaker 6: Yeah, it's kind of a funny little business.
- 24:45Speaker 7: I used to teach high school biology and at the
- 24:48Speaker 7: time I had my summers off, of course, and I
- 24:51Speaker 7: started to go down by the shore and pick up
- 24:53Speaker 7: a little bit of seaweed here, and some starfish there,
- 24:55Speaker 7: and some seashells, and.
- 24:57Speaker 6: I thought, man, there's got to be markets for this stuff.
- 24:59Speaker 7: And over the past twenty some years we have markets
- 25:03Speaker 7: with cosmetic companies, with bait companies, with agricultural fertilizer companies,
- 25:10Speaker 7: food ingredients, scientists, researchers, aquariums, and pretty much if you
- 25:16Speaker 7: need anything from the ocean typle, Tim, I'm your guy
- 25:22Speaker 7: good man to know that net it. You know, we're
- 25:25Speaker 7: like the RCMP.
- 25:25Speaker 3: We always get our man love it.
- 25:29Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
- 25:30Speaker 3: So what kinds of plants and creatures are you harvesting
- 25:35Speaker 3: and or growing? Like, what are your some of your
- 25:37Speaker 3: best sellers?
- 25:39Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, we do sell a lot of seaweed.
- 25:42Speaker 7: And ever since COVID came on, you know, people were
- 25:46Speaker 7: scared and hold up in their apartments and houses and
- 25:48Speaker 7: freaking out where they're going to survive, And so a
- 25:51Speaker 7: lot of people came to us looking for things like
- 25:54Speaker 7: Irish moss to make sea moss gels and bladder rack
- 25:57Speaker 7: and kelp. So that's certainly one of our main stays
- 26:00Speaker 7: are seaweeds for human consumption. But the business started really
- 26:03Speaker 7: on scientific specimens, and you know, it could be a
- 26:06Speaker 7: teacher in Ohio that's got elementary class and she would
- 26:09Speaker 7: just like some real live starfish.
- 26:13Speaker 6: To share with her students.
- 26:14Speaker 7: So we put them in a box with some water,
- 26:15Speaker 7: some oxygen and FedEx or ups overnight. So a lot
- 26:19Speaker 7: of marine organisms. They could be hermit crabs, they might
- 26:22Speaker 7: be sea urchins. We go out and net up plankton,
- 26:27Speaker 7: you know, the stuff that whales and filter feeders eat,
- 26:29Speaker 7: and we sell that by the gallon. One of our
- 26:32Speaker 7: biggest and probably the hottest selling item right now are
- 26:36Speaker 7: our fishing worms and our marine baths, specifically blood worms,
- 26:41Speaker 7: and we're shipping these dtc all around the country, great
- 26:45Speaker 7: big worms as thick as a sharpie and twelve inches
- 26:48Speaker 7: sixteen inches long sometimes. So this time of year, everyone
- 26:52Speaker 7: and their brothers going fishing, and we're getting calls, you know,
- 26:56Speaker 7: every five minutes and orders from the website.
- 27:00Speaker 2: I was on your site looking at the things that
- 27:02Speaker 2: you have for for us to snack on, and I
- 27:08Speaker 2: came across limpets or limp pets is it limpets limpets,
- 27:13Speaker 2: and I have i'd not known what they were called.
- 27:16Speaker 2: I think that I ate those in France a number
- 27:19Speaker 2: of years ago. Would that would those be the same species?
- 27:22Speaker 2: And can you just describe for our audience what they are?
- 27:25Speaker 2: They look kind of like the the little hats that
- 27:30Speaker 2: rice farmers in Asia wear to me if that visual
- 27:35Speaker 2: makes sense?
- 27:36Speaker 7: And yeah, they're they're really If you're ever eaten, avaloni
- 27:40Speaker 7: is essentially a malis or type clam if you will,
- 27:43Speaker 7: that only has one shell, and they stick to a
- 27:46Speaker 7: hard surface such as a rock, a shell and other organism.
- 27:50Speaker 7: And what they do is they are they're going along
- 27:52Speaker 7: the rock and they're eating the seaweed, the algae.
- 27:54Speaker 6: And you know what, if you want to eat an.
- 27:56Speaker 7: Oyster, there's two shells. You're sticking the oyster knife and open.
- 28:00Speaker 7: Imagine half an oyster always open. You just have to
- 28:03Speaker 7: peel it off the rock. So these limpus might be
- 28:06Speaker 7: the size of a quarter down to I mean, this
- 28:08Speaker 7: morning we filmed some that were the size of popcorn kernels.
- 28:12Speaker 7: But inside is that fleshy foot, their gill, their gonad
- 28:16Speaker 7: and a really tasty, salty, griny little tidbit. So I'm
- 28:20Speaker 7: sure I don't think it, probably in France if they
- 28:22Speaker 7: were the same species, but certainly would be in the
- 28:25Speaker 7: same family.
- 28:27Speaker 2: And then also I noticed the sea cucumbers. Who's who's
- 28:30Speaker 2: buying those? And then for you, how do you like
- 28:35Speaker 2: to eat or prepare those? I know some folks in
- 28:38Speaker 2: the office when they harvest sea cucumbers in Alaska, they'll
- 28:42Speaker 2: scrape off the kind of slimy outside and then do
- 28:46Speaker 2: them like clam strips. But in other parts of the
- 28:48Speaker 2: world you kind of eat the whole thing.
- 28:50Speaker 6: So how do you do it?
- 28:51Speaker 7: Yeah, a lot of our customers from Asia want sea cucumbers,
- 28:56Speaker 7: sea urchins, some of the snails we have, but with
- 28:59Speaker 7: a cucumber, imagine a pickle. That's what the local fishermen
- 29:02Speaker 7: call them. And we have some who some fishermen who
- 29:04Speaker 7: drag them, and some who actually scuba dive for them.
- 29:07Speaker 7: But they you cut each end of the pickle off,
- 29:10Speaker 7: if you will, slit it up the middle, open it.
- 29:13Speaker 6: And this is an invertebrate.
- 29:14Speaker 7: It has no skeleton, right, so it has a very thick,
- 29:17Speaker 7: tough skin, and in the absence of a skeleton, the
- 29:21Speaker 7: muscles inside are pulling against.
- 29:22Speaker 6: This tough skin, and that's what allows them to move.
- 29:25Speaker 7: But they're related to cucumber, I mean to starfish and
- 29:28Speaker 7: urchins and sand dollars. They're in the kino dirm family,
- 29:32Speaker 7: and all that's in there is like the most big
- 29:34Speaker 7: basic organism. In fact, sometimes I think, man, you're nothing
- 29:37Speaker 7: but a gut a gonet, And I think, if you
- 29:42Speaker 7: think of it, that's what a cucumber is. On one end,
- 29:45Speaker 7: it has a feeding apparatus. On the other end, it's
- 29:48Speaker 7: excreting its wat and then inside is that thin sheet
- 29:51Speaker 7: of muscle that kind of reminds me of like a
- 29:53Speaker 7: kid's raspberry fruit roll up. So when we open, you
- 29:58Speaker 7: have to scrape off this thin sheet of meat and
- 30:02Speaker 7: so tip them.
- 30:03Speaker 6: That sheet of muscle is pulling on the skin. It
- 30:05Speaker 6: curls up.
- 30:06Speaker 7: Totally like a fruit roll up automatically because there's nothing
- 30:09Speaker 7: to pull against. And then you you know, you could
- 30:12Speaker 7: cook that saute that like anything, but it's really crunchy.
- 30:16Speaker 7: It's kind of like if you were in my mind's
- 30:19Speaker 7: when we've eaten it and our kids have eaten it,
- 30:23Speaker 7: it's it's almost like you're chewing on cartilage. It really
- 30:25Speaker 7: kind of pops in your teeth, and then the skin
- 30:28Speaker 7: itself is boiled and dried and then shredded up and served,
- 30:32Speaker 7: you know, like on a on top of a seaweed salad.
- 30:35Speaker 7: And we've never actually eaten much of the skin, but
- 30:37Speaker 7: it's a very tough organism.
- 30:41Speaker 1: Did you ever describe some of your biology students in
- 30:45Speaker 1: the same manner? Just just a mouth.
- 30:52Speaker 6: Tenth graders, right, you're nothing but a gut and a goat.
- 30:56Speaker 7: They like that. In fact, years ago, I tried to
- 30:59Speaker 7: convince my wife uh to allow or decide on the
- 31:03Speaker 7: the first name Nad for one of our children.
- 31:07Speaker 6: Can you imagine if they're an athlete, go ned go nag.
- 31:11Speaker 7: Go nads and they're like, mister she and you gotta
- 31:18Speaker 7: do that, you gotta do that.
- 31:19Speaker 6: But it never came to fruition.
- 31:21Speaker 1: So oh, I love it. I love it. Yeah. So
- 31:25Speaker 1: what what's the like, the favorite thing? What what is
- 31:29Speaker 1: in in the tidepool? Tim world?
- 31:33Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 31:33Speaker 1: What's the favorite critter to go after?
- 31:39Speaker 6: For meat eaters? But our top product really is Irish moss.
- 31:43Speaker 7: It's a short red marine algae that has carrageening in it,
- 31:47Speaker 7: which is a natural thickening agent. And you've probably heard
- 31:50Speaker 7: of this in your supermarket or maybe natural food store,
- 31:54Speaker 7: but sea moss and sea moss jaw. A lot of people,
- 31:57Speaker 7: especially in North America, are getting onto eating seaweeds as.
- 32:01Speaker 6: A regular part of their diet.
- 32:02Speaker 7: So we go out actually in this bay here at
- 32:06Speaker 7: very low tide, and here's this red fuzz growing along
- 32:10Speaker 7: the rocks, and we use cutters to cut it off,
- 32:12Speaker 7: We rinse it out, We bring it back to our
- 32:14Speaker 7: base into a greenhouse, spread it out on tables and
- 32:17Speaker 7: dry it out.
- 32:18Speaker 6: And when we're shipping it to our customers.
- 32:20Speaker 7: It's used typically a half pound or a pound of
- 32:22Speaker 7: this dried so the home consumer will take it, put
- 32:26Speaker 7: it in a VitaminX or a blender with a little
- 32:27Speaker 7: bit of water, some lemon or lime juice and just kind.
- 32:30Speaker 6: Of pulse it a little bit, and it's the coolest thing.
- 32:33Speaker 6: The seaweed.
- 32:34Speaker 7: It's liquid turns into a liquid and then immediately immediately
- 32:37Speaker 7: just gels up like putt it and it has a
- 32:40Speaker 7: beautiful red pink color to it. Coolah or irish moss
- 32:45Speaker 7: that we have here in the industry is called purple
- 32:47Speaker 7: sea moss, and a lot of the moss that's out
- 32:50Speaker 7: on the market comes from like the Caribbean type areas
- 32:54Speaker 7: and they have a golden colored sea moss, but the
- 32:57Speaker 7: same thing you have a seaweed or a marine algae
- 33:00Speaker 7: carrageenon in it.
- 33:01Speaker 6: And our customers swear by having a tablespoon.
- 33:05Speaker 7: Of this gel in their regular smoothie or in their
- 33:08Speaker 7: soup or whatever they're they're cooking every day.
- 33:11Speaker 6: And I mean, it's the weirdest product.
- 33:13Speaker 7: Once again, it kind of hit us around COVID because
- 33:17Speaker 7: I when the kids were young, I made a YouTube
- 33:19Speaker 7: video for my YouTube channel about Irish moth and all
- 33:24Speaker 7: these new customers kept calling, Hey, I watch your video.
- 33:26Speaker 7: I want some of this moth, you know, I want
- 33:28Speaker 7: to save my life. And uh, people call and they're crying.
- 33:32Speaker 7: People are sharing this moss with their whole their whole church,
- 33:38Speaker 7: their neighbors.
- 33:39Speaker 6: People calling and saying they secured them of skin problems. Uh.
- 33:45Speaker 7: COVID like everything under the side, like securely so uh
- 33:50Speaker 7: and that's a lot of anecdotal kind of stuff. But
- 33:54Speaker 7: people swear by the effects of eating this Irish moss,
- 33:58Speaker 7: And really that's our number one and product right now.
- 34:02Speaker 6: Cool are our fishing worms are blood worms?
- 34:06Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I like I like the balance their
- 34:09Speaker 1: health and beauty and blood worms. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well
- 34:14Speaker 1: I know where Eileen personally.
- 34:19Speaker 7: The we have so many categories of products, you know,
- 34:22Speaker 7: bait and fertilizer and food and and science and research
- 34:26Speaker 7: and that it just makes for a really fun day
- 34:29Speaker 7: because each morning I get on my laptop and I
- 34:32Speaker 7: look at my orders and I go, oh, geez, I
- 34:34Speaker 7: gotta go, you know, pick five pounds of moss and
- 34:37Speaker 7: they need to run over here and pull these traps
- 34:39Speaker 7: to get twelve hermit crabs. And then I'm gonna run
- 34:42Speaker 7: to this other dock and get some cn M and e's.
- 34:46Speaker 7: So it's really you know, uh, in terms of what
- 34:49Speaker 7: we've created with Gulf of Maine, it's it's just like
- 34:51Speaker 7: an every day is a holiday. It's always fun, it's
- 34:54Speaker 7: always exciting, and then we're able to populate our Instagram
- 34:58Speaker 7: with all kinds of amazing content every day.
- 35:01Speaker 6: It's always fresh. It could be a dead seal washed
- 35:03Speaker 6: up on the beach.
- 35:04Speaker 7: It could be you know, some bald eagles fighting over
- 35:06Speaker 7: a dead eel on the rock weed.
- 35:08Speaker 6: It's just so much variety.
- 35:10Speaker 7: And you know, we hunt, we fish, we forage, we
- 35:13Speaker 7: eat mushrooms, we eat seaweeds.
- 35:15Speaker 6: You know, it's really kind of a fun way to
- 35:18Speaker 6: raise our kids.
- 35:19Speaker 7: And to just go about each and every day.
- 35:22Speaker 6: And we're making really good money.
- 35:24Speaker 7: I mean, it's amazing how this stuff that's just lying
- 35:27Speaker 7: around here in this bay.
- 35:28Speaker 6: You know, this is our virtual warehouse, if you will.
- 35:31Speaker 7: And every day, whether it's twenty below zero or it's
- 35:35Speaker 7: seventy degrees out, I gotta be out here picking and
- 35:38Speaker 7: collecting and sort of sending these boxes out all across
- 35:42Speaker 7: mostly North America, but sometimes into Europe.
- 35:45Speaker 1: Do you have internships available.
- 35:49Speaker 7: In the summertime? And we just we don't put out
- 35:52Speaker 7: anything formal. We kind of wait for motivated students to
- 35:55Speaker 7: get a hold of us and say, hey, I'd like
- 35:57Speaker 7: to come and hang out with you guys.
- 36:00Speaker 6: What do you got?

- 37:20Speaker 1: what do you want to do? You want to go
- 37:21Speaker 1: do Randall's segment of fake News's fake news? How dare
- 37:25Speaker 1: you fake news? Or do you want to do listener
- 37:29Speaker 1: feet Let's do.
- 37:29Speaker 3: Fake news tape and bushop take balloon at a better
- 37:37Speaker 3: shot than don this? So wh is that?
- 37:39Speaker 1: So this opportunity comes once for.
- 37:41Speaker 4: A few weeks, you can do anything you set your
- 37:45Speaker 4: minds to.
- 37:46Speaker 3: Guys. Oh, my gosh, yes, beautiful Phil.
- 37:54Speaker 1: Give it up for Phil.
- 37:57Speaker 3: So, in this segment of fake news, I'm going to
- 37:59Speaker 3: share a selectively edited hunting or fishing related headline from
- 38:03Speaker 3: the news while Cal and Karin attempt to fill in
- 38:05Speaker 3: the blank with the multiple choice options. Only one of
- 38:09Speaker 3: your choices is true. According to this news article, Phil,
- 38:15Speaker 3: it's hit him with number one here French hunter eighty
- 38:20Speaker 3: one on trial for killing endangered blank? Is it an
- 38:25Speaker 3: endangered lynx, an endangered duck, an endangered frog or an
- 38:31Speaker 3: endangered bear? Oh? Got a little sound effect too. I
- 38:37Speaker 3: think this segment is shaping up nicely, Philed.
- 38:39Speaker 1: It's coming together.
- 38:41Speaker 2: At the same time.
- 38:42Speaker 3: Whenever you're ready. Whenever you're ready, c frog, d We
- 38:48Speaker 3: have our answers, frog and bear. One of you got
- 38:51Speaker 3: it right. The answer is bear. Oh. The headline reads
- 38:56Speaker 3: French hunter eighty one on trial for killing endangered that
- 39:00Speaker 3: attacked him. This was reported by The Guardian Andre Rives
- 39:04Speaker 3: assumes how you pronounce it was boar hunting in the
- 39:07Speaker 3: Pyrenees Mountains when a female bear named Caramelis attacked him.
- 39:11Speaker 3: He surprisingly encountered the cubs and was then charged and
- 39:15Speaker 3: dragged by the bear by his leg before he shot it.
- 39:18Speaker 3: He sustained injuries and had to be evacuated by helicopter.
- 39:22Speaker 3: An investigation revealed that the bear was killed four hundred
- 39:24Speaker 3: meters that's thirteen hundred feet for those of US stateside,
- 39:29Speaker 3: outside of an authorized hunting area and in a nature reserve.
- 39:32Speaker 3: Fifteen of their hunters, who also took part in the
- 39:35Speaker 3: hunt are being prosecuted for various offenses, including hunting in
- 39:39Speaker 3: the Montevalier Nature Reserve, one of the oldest reserves in
- 39:43Speaker 3: the Pyrenees. The hunters argued that the boundaries of the
- 39:46Speaker 3: reserve were poorly marked.
- 39:49Speaker 2: I thought that this uh, elderly elder gentleman was going
- 39:54Speaker 2: after some prized frog legs. No, and they were going
- 39:58Speaker 2: to make a big deal out of it.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Yeah, you're so racially by us.
- 40:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I think on the.
- 40:04Speaker 2: French part there, that was that I fell for the trick. Answer, well,
- 40:09Speaker 2: very good, Randall.
- 40:10Speaker 1: Eighty one man attack. Was it a grizzly bear?
- 40:14Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe it's a brown bear.
- 40:16Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so cool, so cool. Yeah, most people don't
- 40:19Speaker 1: know brown bears in Europe. Like spitting distance from major
- 40:26Speaker 1: tourist attractions, which is so cool, so cool. But I
- 40:29Speaker 1: want to be eighty one and be able to be
- 40:31Speaker 1: attacked by a bear and drug and still I can
- 40:34Speaker 1: shoot it.
- 40:35Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and.
- 40:36Speaker 1: Then then get a flight out of there. Yeah, he's
- 40:38Speaker 1: getting ticketed and yeah, heart old man.
- 40:45Speaker 3: Phil, let's hit this second one. Blank responds to a
- 40:50Speaker 3: story of pet deer being taken by the Pennsylvania Game Commission?
- 40:55Speaker 3: Is it Ted Nugent, Elon Musk, Ellen DeGeneres or Joe
- 41:00Speaker 3: Rogan Cash is responding to the story of a pet
- 41:05Speaker 3: deer being taken by the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
- 41:09Speaker 1: It's a trick question. It's e all of the above.
- 41:14Speaker 3: Well, this is specific to one article that I found
- 41:17Speaker 3: on the internet that may well be true, but we're
- 41:20Speaker 3: going with the article.
- 41:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go with the Teddy Nuggets. Yeah, motor
- 41:24Speaker 1: City mad man.
- 41:25Speaker 2: I'm gonna pet Okay, I could see that too. I'm
- 41:29Speaker 2: gonna lean.
- 41:31Speaker 3: To Ellen, Ellen and Ted. I'm afraid neither one of
- 41:35Speaker 3: you got it right here. He's a busy man. Elon Musk.
- 41:39Speaker 3: This story comes to us from PennLive dot com. Elon
- 41:42Speaker 3: Musk responds to story of pet deer being taken by
- 41:45Speaker 3: the Pennsylvania Game Commission. A sixty four year old woman
- 41:49Speaker 3: was arrested back in February for interfering with the Pennsylvania
- 41:52Speaker 3: Commission Game Commission authorities as they attempted to take away
- 41:55Speaker 3: a pet deer named Baby. Baby was a wild born deer,
- 42:00Speaker 3: which made it illegal to keep as a pet, and
- 42:02Speaker 3: had been castrated and wore a dog collar. Baby's owner,
- 42:06Speaker 3: Tammy Sheery, refused to allow entry to the police when
- 42:09Speaker 3: they arrived with a lawful search warrant. Elon Musk, the
- 42:14Speaker 3: head of Tesla SpaceX and the Department of Government Efficiency quote,
- 42:18Speaker 3: tweeted a story about this incident, recently adding his own
- 42:21Speaker 3: thoughts quote, the authorities need to stop doing this end quote.
- 42:26Speaker 3: His tweet kicked off a ship storm on social media,
- 42:29Speaker 3: with many users using the hashtag save Baby, and they
- 42:33Speaker 3: shared the video of the deer being forcibly led away
- 42:36Speaker 3: from its enclosure. Real sad stuff. Oh oh, busy guy.
- 42:42Speaker 1: The humanity. They need to stop doing this. Why I
- 42:48Speaker 1: don't know.
- 42:51Speaker 3: Cameras? Yeah, all right, still one nothing. Col Phil hit
- 42:54Speaker 3: us with a third headline, police say reported swimmer in
- 43:00Speaker 3: distress turned out to be blank. Is it duck? Hunters, seals,
- 43:06Speaker 3: geese or spear fishermen. Oh what were these purported reported
- 43:16Speaker 3: swimmers in distress?
- 43:19Speaker 1: Probably yeah, I'm even go the go.
- 43:23Speaker 3: D Cal's go and d Corinsey and b man blanked
- 43:28Speaker 3: you again here the answer is geese. This story comes
- 43:32Speaker 3: to us from New Zealand. Police and a rescue squad
- 43:36Speaker 3: responded to a report about two swimmers in distress near
- 43:39Speaker 3: Ferguson Park in Touranga, New Zealand. Helicopter and Coast Guard
- 43:44Speaker 3: cruise searched the area for forty five minutes before the
- 43:46Speaker 3: police gave the call to stand down. A police representative
- 43:50Speaker 3: later stated that the search was called off when the
- 43:52Speaker 3: reported struggling swimmers quote turned out to be geese. Nonetheless,
- 43:57Speaker 3: the people who mistook the birds for people did the
- 44:00Speaker 3: right thing by making the report. Well, guys, it's tough round.
- 44:05Speaker 3: We've got one more question here. Let's see if Karin
- 44:07Speaker 3: can tie it at one's gonna run away with this victory.
- 44:10Speaker 1: It's a good thing I can't get negative points.
- 44:12Speaker 2: I think my performance on this game is kind of
- 44:15Speaker 2: like trivia. I wonder which one's worse.
- 44:18Speaker 3: Well, this is just nonsense. So a man went deer
- 44:22Speaker 3: hunting and accidentally stumbled upon blank. Is it a mammoth tusk,
- 44:27Speaker 3: stolen cash, a murder victim, or a World War Two
- 44:31Speaker 3: era aircraft?
- 44:34Speaker 1: I personally have done d M.
- 44:38Speaker 2: What yeah this article about you?
- 44:41Speaker 1: No, I'm gonna go a see a murder victim.
- 44:45Speaker 2: Oh, I think I was leaning toward be stolen cash,
- 44:52Speaker 2: B and C.
- 44:52Speaker 3: Or these your final answers blanked again. It's a mammoth tusk.
- 44:57Speaker 1: Oh, I forgot to get a screenshot of this one.
- 44:59Speaker 3: Oh, that's like iowall picture.
- 45:03Speaker 1: Oh, Texas.
- 45:04Speaker 3: This one comes just from Popular Mechanics. A hunter at
- 45:06Speaker 3: the two Ranch in Texas near Big Ben National Park
- 45:10Speaker 3: came across a strange fossil like rock in the drainage
- 45:12Speaker 3: area of a creek bed and took a photo of
- 45:14Speaker 3: his phone. He then showed it to the ranch manager,
- 45:17Speaker 3: who contacted researchers to come take a look. Turns out
- 45:20Speaker 3: it was a single mammoth tusk isolated from the rest
- 45:22Speaker 3: of the skeleton. After two days of plaster casting that tusk,
- 45:26Speaker 3: researchers removed it for transportation to soul Ross State University
- 45:30Speaker 3: in Alpine. And I wish we had an image of that,
- 45:33Speaker 3: because darn it was a good looking tusk. Next time,
- 45:36Speaker 3: really blew it?
- 45:37Speaker 1: Next time, that's a real dream, real dream. Find we
- 45:40Speaker 1: fella like me? Do we want to jump over to listener?
- 45:49Speaker 1: A f You have only got a couple real quick.
- 45:51Speaker 1: We're running late a couple of games. What do you
- 45:53Speaker 1: have to get to?
- 45:54Speaker 3: Oh, I'm I don't know. I mean I don't have to.
- 45:57Speaker 1: Do Should we just go on until five o'clock?
- 46:00Speaker 2: Ye?
- 46:00Speaker 1: Like, who's stopping us? Anything else?
- 46:03Speaker 3: Questions here?
- 46:04Speaker 5: Nick Corinn. Nick needs some details about your wad ad
- 46:08Speaker 5: Hunt next month. Will it be filmed?
- 46:10Speaker 2: Oh, well, our colleague Cory uh is going to be
- 46:16Speaker 2: along with myself and my boyfriend and he will be filming. He'll,
- 46:21Speaker 2: he'll we'll probably do a go pro and a little
- 46:23Speaker 2: bit of social media stuff, so some of it will
- 46:26Speaker 2: be filmed. It will not be an entire episode. It
- 46:30Speaker 2: started out as a personal trip, and as these things go,
- 46:36Speaker 2: the line between my work life and personal life is
- 46:40Speaker 2: kind of super blurred.
- 46:42Speaker 1: So I was gonna say it doesn't sound like Cory
- 46:43Speaker 1: knows what he's getting into.
- 46:46Speaker 2: So we're going to be in in West Texas, close
- 46:49Speaker 2: to El Paso, on on a ranch owned by the
- 46:54Speaker 2: University of Texas, El Paso. It's a research facility there.
- 47:01Speaker 2: That's all I'll say for now. Hopefully we all the
- 47:04Speaker 2: three of us get one.
- 47:05Speaker 1: It's also where mcgruber played tight end. A lot of
- 47:09Speaker 1: people don't know that, Phil.
- 47:12Speaker 5: What you got question for doctor Randall from Michael? In
- 47:15Speaker 5: addition to the Long Hunter's audio book, what are some
- 47:17Speaker 5: other good books about Daniel Boone?
- 47:19Speaker 3: Well, you've covered the essential source there, nice, So I
- 47:23Speaker 3: will add Robert Morgan's biography Boone. And then there's a
- 47:27Speaker 3: book called My Father Nathan Boone. That was It's based
- 47:33Speaker 3: on interviews with Boone's son, taken by Lyman Draper and
- 47:41Speaker 3: then organized into a book and published by Ted Franklin.
- 47:44Speaker 3: Below that, I'll get you going. How's that? Phil?
- 47:48Speaker 1: That was perfect man who knows his sources? Jack?
- 47:51Speaker 5: Ask Cal what are some things Easterners can do to
- 47:54Speaker 5: help protect Western public lands other than joining conservation organizations?
- 47:59Speaker 1: Oh? Jack, Well, first of all, these are your public lands,
- 48:04Speaker 1: just like us. Westerners consider them our public lands, just
- 48:08Speaker 1: as Democrats, Republicans, independents, all the colors of the rainbow.
- 48:13Speaker 1: It's your public lands. So yes, joining conservation groups so
- 48:19Speaker 1: they can point to your membership as somebody that they
- 48:24Speaker 1: are representing is very helpful, but at the end of
- 48:27Speaker 1: the day, you have got to notify your elected officials
- 48:32Speaker 1: of your interests, needs, and wants. Right and again, like
- 48:36Speaker 1: we've been saying very consistency consistently over the last couple
- 48:39Speaker 1: of weeks, you can say, hey, love what's going on
- 48:43Speaker 1: over here, but this stuff over here has me super
- 48:47Speaker 1: freaked out. I do not like it. I love public Lands,
- 48:50Speaker 1: I understand the value that they bring to all of
- 48:53Speaker 1: us Americans, and I need them protected, not broken up.
- 49:00Speaker 1: Something simple like that. We're all in this together, buddy, fantastic, awesome, Phil,
- 49:06Speaker 1: What you got?
- 49:06Speaker 5: Oh, we've got a few more, but we've got a
- 49:09Speaker 5: good friend and colleague in the waiting room. I think
- 49:11Speaker 5: we'll hit some of these at the end of the show.
- 49:12Speaker 5: And you guys want to submit some more questions, send
- 49:16Speaker 5: them my way and maybe we'll answer them at the
- 49:18Speaker 5: end of the show.
- 49:20Speaker 1: Excellentt all right, Yeah, thank you for the questions. And
- 49:24Speaker 1: you're gonna have a lot more questions about this, which
- 49:27Speaker 1: I think is the point. It's gonna wake you up
- 49:29Speaker 1: in the middle of the night. It's a real who
- 49:31Speaker 1: done it? It's a murder mystery brought to you by
- 49:34Speaker 1: me Eater's own Jordan Sellers. Jordan, are you with us?
- 49:38Speaker 3: Jordan, welcome to the show.
- 49:40Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you.
- 49:41Speaker 1: Can you hear me?
- 49:42Speaker 5: Okay?
- 49:42Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sound great. What have you been working on?
- 49:47Speaker 4: Oh man, Well, exactly what you said. Last year, I
- 49:52Speaker 4: was contacted by a guy who told me about a
- 49:55Speaker 4: murder that took place in two thousand and three in Virginia.
- 50:00Speaker 4: This murder was of a Turkey hunter named David Stack.
- 50:04Speaker 4: He was forty four years old at the time, and
- 50:07Speaker 4: they never figured out who did it. And so I've
- 50:10Speaker 4: been looking into this for about a year now. It's
- 50:13Speaker 4: been pretty close and put everything together into a single
- 50:18Speaker 4: episode of a podcast that we're going to release next
- 50:21Speaker 4: week during Turkey Week. So really excited to share that
- 50:25Speaker 4: with everyone. Hopefully we can get I don't know, hopefully
- 50:29Speaker 4: we can get some new leads in this case, because
- 50:31Speaker 4: it's been a long time since anything's happened.
- 50:34Speaker 2: Can you tell us some details without giving too much away?
- 50:40Speaker 4: Yes. So one of the big questions about this case
- 50:46Speaker 4: is whether or not the person who committed the homicide
- 50:50Speaker 4: knew what they had done, and so there's some evidence
- 50:55Speaker 4: at the scene to suggest that this person actually walked
- 50:58Speaker 4: up to David Body and removed his face mask to
- 51:03Speaker 4: see who it was and then walked away and never
- 51:07Speaker 4: has never come forward, has never told anyone what happened.
- 51:12Speaker 4: There's some controversy about some other evidence at the scene,
- 51:17Speaker 4: a cigarette butt, for example. There is some suspicious there
- 51:23Speaker 4: was some suspicious interactions with neighbors that we get into
- 51:27Speaker 4: quite a bit. You can imagine, you know, the neighbors
- 51:30Speaker 4: are who you're going to look into. First. It was
- 51:32Speaker 4: on about one hundred and ninety acres in western central Virginia,
- 51:36Speaker 4: so there were some neighbors around other turkey hunters. There
- 51:40Speaker 4: were some pretty suspicious things that happened with the neighbors.
- 51:44Speaker 4: So there's a lot to dig into. It's just a
- 51:47Speaker 4: single episode, so you know, we're not going to do
- 51:49Speaker 4: a whole season on this one's story, but there is
- 51:52Speaker 4: a lot there to talk about for sure.
- 51:55Speaker 1: Heck yeah, and the title is Blood Trails, a Turkey
- 52:00Speaker 1: Woods Cold Case.
- 52:01Speaker 4: That's right. Yeah?
- 52:03Speaker 1: And when when does this drop? Jordan?
- 52:05Speaker 4: I believe next Tuesday.
- 52:07Speaker 2: Yep, it'll be the Tuesday of Turkey.
- 52:10Speaker 1: Week and we're putting it out on what feed it's.
- 52:12Speaker 2: Going to be on this feed the Meat Eater podcast feed,
- 52:17Speaker 2: So it'll come, Yeah, it'll come on Tuesday. And Jordan
- 52:21Speaker 2: also interviewed our colleague Brent Reeves, who is former law
- 52:26Speaker 2: enforcement and so I guess you guys went into a
- 52:29Speaker 2: little bit of kind of analysis of what we do
- 52:35Speaker 2: know and what we don't know.
- 52:37Speaker 4: Correct, Yeah, that's right for those who don't know. Brent
- 52:42Speaker 4: was in law enforcement for a long time, over thirty years,
- 52:45Speaker 4: and so his perspective was really important for this story.
- 52:50Speaker 4: The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, the wildlife agency there
- 52:55Speaker 4: is responsible for investigating this case, but they were pretty
- 52:59Speaker 4: hesitant to say anything, and we talk a bit about that.
- 53:03Speaker 4: But it was important, I think, to get that law
- 53:05Speaker 4: enforcement perspective. You know, what are the sort of standard
- 53:10Speaker 4: procedures for a case like this. You find someone's body
- 53:13Speaker 4: in the woods, what do you do over the next
- 53:15Speaker 4: forty eight hours, over the next week. So we covered
- 53:18Speaker 4: that and then just getting a little bit more information
- 53:21Speaker 4: about why the agency was hesitant to talk with us
- 53:25Speaker 4: to give us a lot of information. So Brent's perspective
- 53:28Speaker 4: was super helpful and he brought, you know, his usual
- 53:33Speaker 4: good natured humor to that discussion. So that's that's in
- 53:36Speaker 4: there as well.
- 53:36Speaker 3: And can we listen to his magnificent voice on this podcast?
- 53:41Speaker 3: Oh wonderful, Yes.
- 53:42Speaker 4: Yes we can. It's it's it's a big chunk of
- 53:45Speaker 4: the podcast. Actually, so very that's a that's a big plus.
- 53:50Speaker 1: Heck yeah, well yeah, we'll be looking forward to that
- 53:53Speaker 1: on Turkey Week.
- 53:55Speaker 2: Yeah, Tuesday, you guys should all tune in and write
- 53:59Speaker 2: a about what you think. It's our first venture into
- 54:04Speaker 2: the true crime genre thanks to Jordan's work in real
- 54:10Speaker 2: journalism and investigation over the past year, and.
- 54:15Speaker 1: Were very unusual. If you solve this, it will be
- 54:19Speaker 1: the only murder mystery podcast true crime genre where conservation
- 54:23Speaker 1: always went exactly. We'll give you five hundred dollars donated
- 54:28Speaker 1: to the conservation group of your choice.
- 54:31Speaker 3: Jordan, Are you Are you hooked now? As a as ant,
- 54:34Speaker 3: I assume this is your first murder investigation. Are you
- 54:37Speaker 3: hooked now in the I mean, what was that like
- 54:40Speaker 3: for you? Because obviously you're talking to people that are
- 54:43Speaker 3: still like involved in the I mean family and people
- 54:48Speaker 3: in that area. What was that like for you?
- 54:50Speaker 2: Question?
- 54:50Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, I talked with so. The person who
- 54:54Speaker 4: initially contacted us is a guy named Kenny, and he
- 54:58Speaker 4: was one of David's really good friends. So I talked
- 55:00Speaker 4: with him. I talked with David's son, who was there
- 55:04Speaker 4: that morning. I talked with David's brother who was also
- 55:08Speaker 4: there hunting, and I talked with David's wife. So yeah,
- 55:13Speaker 4: it was it was a an interesting experience, a humbling
- 55:20Speaker 4: experience to talk with these people, who, I mean, are
- 55:24Speaker 4: really brave in my opinion. You know this, this happened
- 55:28Speaker 4: over twenty years ago, and and I'm asking them to
- 55:32Speaker 4: dredge these these things up, dredge up these emotions that
- 55:36Speaker 4: you know, I'm sure they would rather not think about
- 55:39Speaker 4: that much, but they care about their their dad, their friend,
- 55:43Speaker 4: their their husband. They want to know what happened. They
- 55:46Speaker 4: want to know who did this, and so they're willing
- 55:48Speaker 4: to go through that to to tell us a bit
- 55:51Speaker 4: more about what happened. So yeah, it was a really
- 55:56Speaker 4: interesting experience. And you know, we'll see, hopefully we can
- 56:00Speaker 4: we can do a few more of these if if
- 56:02Speaker 4: the audience likes them.
- 56:04Speaker 1: Hmm heck, yeah, sounds like good powerful journalism. I'm looking
- 56:09Speaker 1: forward to listening to it. And yeah, please write in
- 56:12Speaker 1: and let us know what you think.
- 56:14Speaker 2: Thanks so much.
- 56:14Speaker 1: Jordan, Thank you, Jordan.
- 56:16Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
- 56:19Speaker 1: All right, tamer, are we feeling hungry? I think so?

- 57:23Speaker 3: a phenomenal experience. Phil next slide. Our first dish that
- 57:28Speaker 3: we made out of this was a tartar the raw
- 57:32Speaker 3: egg out of the Danielle Pruitt cookbook. Just a delightful
- 57:37Speaker 3: little dish. Really enjoyed that we used a piece of
- 57:40Speaker 3: loin and whipped that up like the day or two
- 57:44Speaker 3: after the hunt.
- 57:44Speaker 2: It looks beautiful. It looks like a cake. It's like

- 1:00:18Speaker 3: it has the uh, the takeout container, and she said,
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: it looks like we didn't make the food. But that's
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: actually a takeout container with some pastries in it.
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: I'll just let go.
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: Karen has taken control of the cottage.
- 1:00:31Speaker 5: Well here, this is actually convenient. Is one of the

- 1:00:52Speaker 3: leading up to a tasty little dish that you can
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: enjoy right here on Meat Eater Radio Live.
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: It's got a lot of white pepper in it, and
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: it's it's it's spicy. Oh my goodness, anything like that.
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: Yeah, No, the chresa was an accident. Sydney pulled out
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: the wrong package. But I think it works quite nicely.
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: Happy accident. And I grew up with a lot of
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: mashed potato ground meat combos.
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: So and used for frozen peas.
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: Oh wonderful.
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: I have to step up my cooking game. Nothing I've
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: made tastes like that.
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: All right, all right, guys, sorry we're now what you got?
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: Uh it's it's a shame coming after that. I think
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: the picture that I sent of the dish was after
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: I had eaten most of it and then it was
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: like in a little plastic tupperware container. So I think
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: that was what last year about a year agoes hog
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: and Texas. I don't know if that was my first
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: or second Texas Hog down South in uh way down
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: south in Texas, or if that was the one that
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: we shot while podcasting. I can't remember. In any case,
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: I cooked up There was a pack of it in
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: the freezer for for a while and it just said
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: trim trim for grind, but I really I didn't have
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: a grinder. I didn't really want to do that with it.
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: So when I defrosted, I noticed that it was like
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: part of uh, part of part of the leg like
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: what you do like uh aso buco with and so
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: a lot of uh gelatine and tendon, and I just
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: decided to kind of Asian poissen sauce soy sauce. Put
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: a little bit of barbecue sauce in there. I thought,
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: I just kind of do uh do like a stew
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: saucy type dish and throw it over rice and just
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: lots of onions. Threw it in the pressure cooker. And
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: maybe there is a photo up there, but it looks
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: honestly like that. That's what was left out of from
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: it after I realized that I should have taken a photo.
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: But it doesn't look fancy. It, you know, looked like
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: a pile of uh meat. Yeah yeahatop in a little containers.
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: Doesn't look so appetizing, but but it tasted.
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of my improv wild game
- 1:03:38Speaker 3: dishes end up looking like that.
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: Pressure cookers a ground tool utilized on a plate. Yeah,
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: great tool to utilize. Oh yeah, and then cal I
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: can bring up I can bring up yours. Just give
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: me give me one sec here. So I was explaining
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: to Phil earlier that I don't know how many of
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: you folks use Instagram reels ig, but I always have
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: this like, oh, I'm gonna actually put something together here,
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: and I have this epiphany of how with a little
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: extra work I could make it really good. And that's
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: the point at which I'm like, eh, I'm not going
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: to do that. So, yeah, this is just your your
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: you know, French dip, which it was a real staple
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: growing up. You'd have like your pot roast one night,
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: French dip the next night. Where Christmas time be like
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: a prime rib type of deal. Your wild game meats
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: can be very fantastic Deli meats. There's no reason to
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: not just take a big roast and put it on
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: the smoker or you know, even in the oven, and
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: then just slice that whole thing really thin. That's all
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: I did here. And then yeah.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: Just eat it right over the stove.
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: What do you do to make that?
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: Well? So the the auju that that it's just bone bro.
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: We got to talk over the music so we don't
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: get dinged. Yeah, this is great.
- 1:05:18Speaker 5: I don't think I can adjust the volume on Instagram.
- 1:05:20Speaker 5: This might be a problem highlight, but.
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: Talk over so we don't get ding Yeah, just keep talking,
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: that's exactly the mode. Yeah, good smash a sando like that. Kids,
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: looks great the audio now, but I wanted to give
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: a taste.
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: Yeah that's good, that's good.
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: And then the yeah, the AJ that's that's bone bra
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: so I'll I'll pack out as many bones as I
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: can and then put those in a big pressure cooker
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: and new come for thirty minutes and then strain it
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: out and can it. So a lot of a lot
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: of time with the pressure cooker. Oh and yeah, it's
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: I have not I.
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: Have like a couple of huge elk bones that I
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: haven't cut.
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and that stuff is like so reduced that
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: the liquids like tacky like candy and it just makes Yeah,
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: it's so good, so good. Get it blustery cold day
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: and get some bone stock out, or like when we
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: make wantons, We'll make a ton of wantons and then
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: just freeze them and then you crack open a jar
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: your bone broth and dump wantons in there, and it's
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: like instant wanton soup. It's killer, really good, really good.
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: But hey, use your if you get if you're like
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: I'm so sick of having big roasts and things, just
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: slice those things into deli meat and it actually freezes
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: just fine if you vaccial deli meat together, which I've
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: done for like a bunch of our shoots and and things,
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: because like always really depresses me to leave this freezer
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: of awesome meat, go on a shoot, and the first
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: place he goes Walmart to go buy a bunch of
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: crappy deli meat instead just making it at home. Yeah,
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: that's the point it Yeah, yeah, all right, those are
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: our recipes. Ish, let us know how inspired you are
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: by writing Anne, because we love our instant gratification.
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: Phil, speaking of that instant gratification, what's going on in
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: the chat?
- 1:07:27Speaker 5: Well, Colton asked doctor Randall. The movie reviews are a
- 1:07:30Speaker 5: great idea. Any interest in a monthly book club? I
- 1:07:33Speaker 5: think we've talked about this briefly, but there's a reason
- 1:07:35Speaker 5: that we went with movies instead of books.
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: Yeah, there there, I mean, there's always interest in a
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: monthly book club. I've gotten a number of requests for
- 1:07:46Speaker 3: reading lists related to mountain men and long hunter things.
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: So I'm going to work on maybe a reading list
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: for the website on those topics, and then maybe you'll
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: just get a wacky reading list too, books about dinosaurs
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: and World War two and serial killers.
- 1:08:09Speaker 5: What's next, Phil Mogor, Our good friend Mogor, says Carinn Prin.
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: He's for your feet picture.
- 1:08:15Speaker 5: It's ugly but tasty in my language. Randa Dphenom I
- 1:08:20Speaker 5: do not know how to. I can't do a Hungarian
- 1:08:22Speaker 5: accents and I will not try. But he says, believe me,
- 1:08:25Speaker 5: it sounds really good and Hungarian. So he's offering some
- 1:08:28Speaker 5: words of support.
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: Thanks for that.
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Quite ugly but tasty. Thank you.
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see.
- 1:08:39Speaker 5: Ron asks Randall, have you ever had a Salan's hot
- 1:08:41Speaker 5: dog from Buffalo, New York.
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: I have not. I have not, but I'm intrigued. I
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: will take this moment to shout out my friend Eric
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: in Nebraska, who just sent me a whole bunch of
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: Wimmers hot dogs, which are a regional staple there. He
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: said me a few varieties, along with some famous Nebraska
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: sauces and cal and I have been plotting up a
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: taste test at some point. So yeah, I'd be interested
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: to learn more about Salein's dogs. But I haven't been
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: to Buffalo in a good long while.
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: Ron, if you feel like mailing doctor Randall a package
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: of those.
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I mean, I love it, but
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: i'd encourage you not to. After seeing how much money
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: Eric spent on postage to send hot dogs across the country.
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: A lot of hot dog content a beautiful gesture. A
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: lot of a lot of people don't know. In fact,
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: my significant other was just shocked to find out that
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: Randal and I met at a hot dog stands and
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: you'll die in front of the hot.
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: Red hots and catch them. Uh.
- 1:09:51Speaker 5: Dermond Donnelly asked your face, Dermid, Oh, I've never seen
- 1:09:56Speaker 5: this Welsh Dermid spelled that way. Well, I learned Scottish
- 1:10:00Speaker 5: favorite store bought fish coating like like I'm guessing, like
- 1:10:04Speaker 5: a fry like a like a fry coating if you
- 1:10:06Speaker 5: have one, because they're not too hard to make it home,
- 1:10:09Speaker 5: I would guess.
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm not too picky. Try to find something
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: that seems simple. So yeah, you're just like your old
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: fish fry stuff. Yeah, not real helpful here.
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: I don't know if this counts as a coating, but
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: the I like the Tony shasheris spice blend.
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Tony's is good. I don't think I've ever
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: bought I think I just flour or corn meal and
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: a spice mix.
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: Yeah I do. I mean panco with a little bit
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: of corn starch and white pepper is a good good
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: way to go on a little garlic powder.
- 1:10:48Speaker 5: Well, Rashad you asked a great trapping question, but I
- 1:10:51Speaker 5: will hold off on that until Seth or Steve are here,
- 1:10:54Speaker 5: unless Cal and Randall think they want to.
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: My best I can do is quote Wayne's World on that.
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: I'd take a swing, but it wouldn't be helpful to you, Rashad,
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: my friend, let's.
- 1:11:03Speaker 5: Pass over Taylor made outdoors. Hey, new meat eater fam
- 1:11:06Speaker 5: is brought into the world this morning at five am,
- 1:11:09Speaker 5: a month early, so she's in the nick you, but
- 1:11:11Speaker 5: she's beautiful and we'll be raised with meat eater parenting
- 1:11:13Speaker 5: slash Children's thanks for watching the show next to your
- 1:11:20Speaker 5: newborn and your wife who was in the hospital.
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: I know that from one of my many stays.
- 1:11:26Speaker 5: Yes, I like this question. I don't know how you
- 1:11:29Speaker 5: guys are going to answer it. Brad asks what animal
- 1:11:31Speaker 5: do you shamelessly wish was a game animal that is
- 1:11:34Speaker 5: not and never will be?
- 1:11:36Speaker 3: Real weird and interesting question, Brad, thank you.
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: I mean the obvious one for me is wild horses.
- 1:11:45Speaker 3: They are there, they have a tremendous ecological cost.
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: Uh.
- 1:11:52Speaker 3: They're they're terrible for the health of our landscape, and
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: they're large animals that evolved on this continent. So there's
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: people have been hunting horses for a real long time,
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: but now we don't thanks to the Wild Horse and
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: bro Protection Act. I'm to think of another one that's weirder,
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: but I'll turn it over to my colleagues while I
- 1:12:14Speaker 3: chew on that.
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: Oh I love that one.
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great one. Yeah.
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: I mean it's like you had this amazing vehicle that
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: you could also eat, and then emotions just ran rampant
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: and it's like, oh no, that's not for eating.
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: Have you guys eaten horse?
- 1:12:32Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: I have to.
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: Yeah, both like little like sashimi type horse and then
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: sausage too.
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: Done like a precuto type cured meat, cured but never
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: a sashimi, yeah type.
- 1:12:48Speaker 3: What about you manates, panda bears?
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: I think sea lions for us non.
- 1:13:00Speaker 3: Predators.
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: Yeah, sea lions would be yeah, because those sons of guns.
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: Like you're swimming, Imagine you're with a bunch of folks
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: that you don't know all that well but you trust,
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: and you're way off the coast of California and you're
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: diving into the not great visibility Pacific Ocean out there,
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: and you go through the dark and the murk in
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: the top like twenty feet of the water column, and
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: then right about the time you can start seeing some
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: sort of structure on the bottom, this big, huge fang
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: tooth monster pops up right in your face and blows
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: bubbles at you. And you're trying to control your breathing
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: so as you don't die. I'd like to just I'd
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: like to eat one, kill one, eat one. And our
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: friend Heather de Ville is just telling me that the
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: sea lions they have a way more mild, more palatable
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: taste than than like seals do. Interesting. Yeah, yep, marine creatures.
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: That's wild bill Bill is asking. I'm sure directed at
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: cal do feral cats count? Oh, feral cats count for sure?
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: For sure. That's another stigma we got to get rid
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: of in this in this country, feral cats should be
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: shot on site. Period. Oh yeah, you can definitely eat
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: those little disease written creatures for sure, for sure.
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: Yeah, they are vectors for some weird pathogens.
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: I feel, yes, but probably shouldn't eat them because.
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: Ye are pregnant lady, or used to be pregnant lady.
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: She couldn't be around cats. So yeah, yeah, but birds
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: because they're a little disease carrying but they.
- 1:14:58Speaker 3: Kill a lot of birds, and there are reports coming
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: out all the time about birds being in trouble.
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: Bird populations, oh, directly linked to the extinction of several species.
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: And yeah, like we need yeah they Yeah, we're prioritizing
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: some little killing machine that shouldn't be there over native
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: species and it's it's insane. Billions of birds and mammals,
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: small mammals. Yeah, good, thank you for bringing up the cats.
- 1:15:31Speaker 3: Shout out bill.
- 1:15:32Speaker 5: He means that to hut out in the bottom of
- 1:15:33Speaker 5: his heart. I'm gonna be selfish and steal the last question. Yeah,
- 1:15:37Speaker 5: Leland asked what's the status of the Meat Eater Crew
- 1:15:39Speaker 5: D and D campaign. So I've actually been thinking about
- 1:15:42Speaker 5: this a lot over a year ago. At the company
- 1:15:46Speaker 5: Christmas party, not this last Christmas, but the Christmas before,
- 1:15:49Speaker 5: Spencer came up to me after a couple of beers
- 1:15:52Speaker 5: and say, a Phil, I was thinking, like, can we
- 1:15:55Speaker 5: switch up trivia a little bit. I'm thinking like a
- 1:15:57Speaker 5: like a murder mystery party based on the fish heist, which,
- 1:16:01Speaker 5: if you don't know, some fish was stolen quote unquote
- 1:16:05Speaker 5: out of the freezer in the office that Steve brought
- 1:16:08Speaker 5: back from Alaska or something.
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: No one caught to it. No one admitted to taking
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: the fish.
- 1:16:12Speaker 5: It's still it's still out there somewhere or has been
- 1:16:15Speaker 5: passed and is you know, has been left to the
- 1:16:19Speaker 5: great cycle. But but we it was never solved. And
- 1:16:23Speaker 5: then I laughed and thought that'd be a lot of work,
- 1:16:25Speaker 5: if that'd be a lot of fun. And then about
- 1:16:26Speaker 5: a year past, and then just a couple months ago,
- 1:16:29Speaker 5: I had like a shower thought of like, man, that'd
- 1:16:31Speaker 5: be a really good like D and D one shot. Yea,
- 1:16:33Speaker 5: So I have been I have been writing this D
- 1:16:36Speaker 5: and D one shot based on the fish heist. I'm
- 1:16:40Speaker 5: like seventy percent done. I've got it like all mapped
- 1:16:43Speaker 5: out in my head. I just got to find players.
- 1:16:47Speaker 5: Cal you're currently on NPC in the game, but if
- 1:16:49Speaker 5: you want to be a player, I.
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: Would love to have you at the table. Oh dude,
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: I'm totally yeah, totally same with same with you, Karin.
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: And long as you have the patience for a first timer, yeah, of.
- 1:17:00Speaker 3: Course, tuned up and watch YouTube videos and how to
- 1:17:02Speaker 3: play D and D and then I'll be set.
- 1:17:05Speaker 5: Yeah, I I So anyway, I'm really excited about it.
- 1:17:07Speaker 5: I don't know when it's gonna happen because I want
- 1:17:09Speaker 5: to have a SaaS session where we play like a
- 1:17:10Speaker 5: different game than teach people how to play and then
- 1:17:13Speaker 5: jump into this thing. But if if I get the
- 1:17:15Speaker 5: green light, because I would like to record it, and
- 1:17:18Speaker 5: if we if it's good and fun and I get
- 1:17:20Speaker 5: the green light to like drop it on the YouTube channel,
- 1:17:22Speaker 5: I would love to do that. So that's that is
- 1:17:24Speaker 5: what's happening right now. Anyway, I hope it happens.
