  Speaker 1: dot com, f I R S T L I T
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: E dot com. I don't know if listeners can appreciate
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the impact of Phil's setup. I think people are thinking
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I'm exaggerating when I said I didn't know twice now,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: this room is not big. How big this room was it?
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Twelve by twelve, it's about fourteen by fifteen.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: I think fourteen by fifteen.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And there's been two times I've been there's no
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: internal walls, no curtains, And two times I've been in
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: here and been startled by Phil's presence or.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: That he's not here, and he was actually, oh yeah.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: I got earlier.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I was mad that he wasn't here at work, but
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: he was back there behind his array.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I gotta admit I kind of like it that way.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I like being a little hidden.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: This is the third time I brought it up.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really it's really bugging yet, I stuck in
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: your craw.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: Dude, I can't even see you if I try.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: You know, that's right, Well, the listeners can see me.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: We're kicking around, either putting little pictures of Phil where
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: he would normally be or making an election. If there's
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: any mirror specialists out there. I had an electrician there today.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I asked me if I ever needed any electrical work,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: he'd be happy to do it. But he was in Texas.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: But if there's a mirror specialist in town that had
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: could array, I guess it'd be one mirror that he's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: looking at, then that mirror blasts off the wall behind him,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and then a mirror by the Muskox picks it up.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Sounds like a lot of work.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'd have to consider it from all angles too,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: So I think this room would be mostly mirrors at
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: the end of the day.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: It would be like one of those things at like
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: county fairs that you walk into and you run into
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: the walls.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. People that make action movies can't help but have
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: shootouts in them.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Which one's real?
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Uh Chester, what can you uh produce that your jig.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And rap again. Oh yeah, yeah, Chester put me onto
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: a phenomenal jig and rap bite last night.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: How phenomenal.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: We caught our limit of wally dogs, which is about
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: four or five. Yeah, little shavers, great eaters eat yeah,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: perfect saying when walleye there's no such thing as small
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: walleyes and big ones. There's eaters and biggins. It's like
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: it's a win win eaters and biggins. But the givers, yeah,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: little shavers eaters. That is a lethal weapon.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: These things are is it really is.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Like the odds of that wallye being just hooked in
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the lip are low.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Well, the thing so these are are glide baits essentially,
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: and any glide bait kind of has little wings on
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: it and it's a very sporadic darter bait. So they go,
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: oh yeah, all over and the fish cannot help. But
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: like they're just like see something dart by their face
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: and pop in the mud. They go and investigate it
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: and like kind of they kind of like hop on
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: top of it essentially, and then you go to do
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: your your quick jig again and next thing, you know,
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: when you're next thing, you know, you got one.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I'd love to have a camera down there, see what's
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: what's going on. Well, you know when I use now
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that I use so for link. When I used to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: use leadhead jigs with a big grub body on them,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: they can catch it, you know, and you get fewer.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I've been onto like slow pitch and flutter jigs last
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: couple of years. Man, they have a hard time catching it,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: like because he misses it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: You'll feel him.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: He'll miss it.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Bam, he'll miss it bam.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Then he either gets bored or you hook him on
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the third or fourth time, or he gets like screw
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: this and he just goes off looking for something easier
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to catch. But I think they can't grab it so
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to a.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Rabbit, Yeah, it's unpredictable, but.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: They sure want to bite it. Yeah, you should could have,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you shoulduld have. Uh what do you call me? A
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: jiggen rap jiggen.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Rap sponsor glide bait?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so mus.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Just send Chester like a bunch of glide baits.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: You just get a mold because that's like a real cost.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Chester.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: When he's doing the when he's doing his family finances,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: he's like tackle.
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: Those are probably what eight eight bucks a pop too?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Eight nine Bucks.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got that one for Chester because I lost
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: one of his yesterday.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Well, thank you, Brody. Are we gonna hang this in
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: the podcast studio?
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: No, you get it right, hag wrap.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Down there, dude.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: We were talking about though, you need they need to
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: make some of these for when you guys are up
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: in Alaska at the fish shack.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: A big one for ling.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Cod twelve ounce.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that. I was saying, Man, if you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: can get like a ten or twelve ounce jigging wrap,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: he would do two things.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: One, you'd snag.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Everybody else like you'd be like, guys, I'm gonna fish
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: lines out. I'm gonna fish for a.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: While, try myself.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, clear the anchor, and then uh, the other thing
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: is is you Yeah, you'd get a lot of hits.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you gotta be you gotta be careful with them
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: though they're dangerous. This is like the number one thing
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: getting your fingers hooked right here. Oftentimes I'll clip off
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: this front front hook here because rarely you do do
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: you hook him on there? But anyways, chicken wrap, great bait.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: We'll come back to something else you got sitting there
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and on top about Okay, I'm holding Brodies. You can
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: bring this all to Alaska. Yeah, tell about this your
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: your priest here man that my dad made that.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: That's a homemade persuader, I think he called it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: We used to call him the priest. Yeah, because it
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: gives your last rite.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, my dad made that. And and like
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the late I think I got the time frames roughly correct.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: But Lake Ear used to have a salmon fishery, like
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: started sometime in the sixties and didn't last long, like
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: a decade maybe a little longer. And my dad would
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: troll for coho like on the beaches just between the
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: He was in a canoe with a little two and
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: a half foot Evan rude.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: He just really between the sandbars and stuff. Yeah, like
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: he just catch a nice browns caught some people would
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: catch nice browns, like the troll on the beach.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: He'd troll spoons and like bomber plugs and ship like that.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: And when he would catch one, he'd put a notch
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: in that sucker.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you right now.
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: Oh really, it's like rings in New York.
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: Is that wood or is that is that a no?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: No, it's it's a steel.
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: Rod under there.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: He got sixteen but that that, uh, it's satisfying. What's
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: under there, steel.
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: Rod, what's on the outside, it's like a baton.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know why you put that rubber coating on
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: there so he could cut notches into it.
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: Whenever Steve gets something like that in his hand, he
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: just has his look.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: In his own Yeah, it's not his picture man like
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Brody like in trivia or something. I'm just.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yep, you're wrong, but that uh, that same and Fishery
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: they changed their management for Lake Erie and went to Steelhead.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: They don't manage for salmon at all anymore. Yeah, Ohio
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and New York, Pennsylvania. Occasionally one shows up. I don't
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: know where they're coming from, but yeah, that that thing
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: didn't last long, you get it. They got like a
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: six week season for those salmon at least like inland,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: you know, on the streams and beaches and stuff.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: But they're not stocking the piss out.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: It's a Steelhead game.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And some of the other areas in the Great Lakes,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: they've really started to emphasize the native lake trout right right,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: do it more around there's some of those around Lake
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: trout recovery and not worrying so much about the Pacific send.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's all kinds of shit that. Like Lake Erie,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I think you used to have a commercial whitefish fishery.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Sure they don't anymore. They used to have a commercial
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: walleye fishery.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Still a fantastic walleye fishery.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable. Yeah.
• 8:47
  Speaker 10: Is it because people don't want whitefish or there are
• 8:49
  Speaker 10: no white fish there?
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I think it has a lot to do with the
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: pollution that they destroyed.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, in the eighteen hundreds, they destroyed the sturgeon fishery,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: they destroyed the white fish fishery. You know. One of
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the biggest things they did in the Great Lakes to
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: ruin the fisheries in the Great Lakes, the original fisheries
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: is when they were logging all that they would raft
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: all that, they would raft all that, all those trees,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: all that white pine and stuff, they would raft it
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and the bark would come off. So in all the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: bays and estuaries and stream miles during that period just
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: became covered and in some cases over twenty feet of
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: bark and destroyed yeah deep oh yeah, destroyed spawning habitats.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: That was like one of many things. And he had,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you know, the tan like at that time, the tanneries
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: were horrible. Yeah, all kinds of pollution and some many
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of those fish, like the sturgeon and the white fish
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: that were just very, very sensitive to any kind of disturbance.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: The food sources got all screwed up, and so they
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: started just trying to backfill it with other stuff. So
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: like when I was grew up in Lake Michigan, we
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: had we had three of the five Pacific salmon. Yeah,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: we had pinks, pinks or humpies, kings or chinook silvers
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: are co hos. I never heard of them doing dogs
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: or chunk dog slash chum. I never heard of them
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: doing sake. And then they up up the sky up
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: in Uh. Sue Saint Marie worked for a long time
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: on Atlantics.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I Ontario to bring in the.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: One Atlantic salmon, and they would take these Atlantics. There's
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: a thing. Uh. I lived up there for a short
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: period of time and did a semester at school at
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Lakespeare State University, which reminds me of the Edmond Fitzgerald.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something about that. In a second
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: up at Lake State University, that there's this thing called
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the Sue Edison hydro electric damn. And when water comes
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: off Lake Superior, it drops about twenty three feet, I think,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: which forms the Sue Rapids. So Superior sits I think.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I think it's twenty three feet higher than hereon. Okay,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: So the connection between Lake Superior and hereon, you know,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and it eventually obviously goes out the Saint Lawrence Seaway,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you know, out into the Atlantic. But that drops twenty
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: three feet through the Sue Rapids into the Saint Mary's River,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: which is a very short river that then flows into Huron.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: And they used to peel water off of not used
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to they still they peel water off of the off
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: of Lake Superior on top of the falls. Run it
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: through town and this, like everybody calls it the power canal.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Run it through town and then and then get gain
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: that twenty three feet to drop right and blast it
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: through this hydro electric facility which had I don't remember
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: how many turbines, forty or fifty turbans or whatever.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: One of the first articles, the first article I ever
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: sold for a chunk of change, was about fishing for
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: whitefish and steelhead in the discharge canals.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Not as far as they could get, like spotting.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: So many mayflies. It was real silty in there, and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: there'd be these huge mayfly hatches in that power canal.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: And so when the mayflies were hatching there, all that
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: shit's going out that yeah, through that high through those
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: turbines and shooting back out into Saint Mary's River. And
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: so fish at the right time of year would just
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: jam into all of these turbine outflows. And they're like
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: these like it look similar to a underpass bridge, a cone,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: like a half colvert, a half round colvert, just big
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: enough to pull a boat into. You could pull a
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: skiff into the thing. And what I wrote my article
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: bout was, uh, my brother Danny and our buddy DROs
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: they pioneered this thing, and I just would go with
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: them after they pioneered it. But they would on occasion
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: leave the bar that close it because the good turbans
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: were coveted, and they would leave the bar and just
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: go and pull in there and sleep in there, and
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: there's a there's the eyebolt sticking out of the top,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and they would just tie off, and it's warm in there,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and you're in the dam. There's probably no way they
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: let you do it. And then old men who'd get
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: up early to get the spot would get thwarted because
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: there's college dudes up in there sleeping and half drunk.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And then you just lower the rope back at daybreak
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and we would take it, would take, so we would
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the rig they would use. And again like they pioneered it,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I just benefited from them pioneering this whole strategy. They
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: would take a fly rod. You remember those, Remember that
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: reel called the Martin multiplier. Remember to me to bring
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: this background to Atlantic salmon. So there was a geared
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: fly reel, so not one to one. You could take
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: up some serious line with a Martin replyer reel. You
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: follow me?
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: What do you? What the hell you call it? You
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: know what I'm talking about?
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Chester, I don't know.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Like one crank on the handle is a bunch of
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: revolutions on the spool?
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not ringing a bell?
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: What type it in?
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: That's not what a center pin is. That's different, right.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Type in Martin multiplier, that's what we called them. Anyway,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: we used to use the We used.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: To do all the salmon and steelhead stuff with these.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: These were you fishing like with a fly line.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Or just no, hear me out, all right, so you
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: would run remember that stuff called amnesia, yep, Okay, that
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: hard mono you'd put backing on regular amount of backing,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: and then you'd put a bunch of amnesia on there.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Okay whatever, forty fifty yards amnesia, then eight feet a whatever,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: twelve pound maxima and then a tip it depending. You
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: might use four pound maximum, six pound maximum off that
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: you put split shot where the heavy maximum met the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: light maxima, and then we just do you do like
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a little flies so for fishing this thing, and that's
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: what we'd use for steelhead and salmon too, but for
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: fishing this thing. And then you'd use a little fly
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: tip with a maggot and with that amnies, you'd lay
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: all that amnesia in the you'd get a bunch of
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: amnesia laid in the on the bow of the boat,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and you got that split shot on there, so you
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: could like.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: You could shoot it way up into that culvert.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: How wide was that thing?
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: How wide was the culvert?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be about the size of that wall right
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: there all right.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Hit me with the dimensions in this room again.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Phil about fourteen by fifteen, so maybe like a twelve
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: foot tube.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Shoot it up into that dark tunnel.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: You take that line and with all that lead on there,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you could just and shoot it perfectly right yeah, up
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: in there, and then you'd get tight on it and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: you'd fall. It's the water's hauling ass out of there,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: but it'd fall, and you'd be able to stand there.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: You could stand there and look that water so strong,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: the current so strong coming out of your boats.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: You on your boat is in a fast current, boat
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: swinging back and forth. And if it was a clear
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: day with the right sun, you'd look down and see
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: whitefish and steel head darting all around down in there.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: But you'd shoot it way up into the turbine in
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: order to get down ten twelve, fourteen feet down, and
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: you'd be hooking them right under your boots so.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: Much, and then when you hook one with all that current.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, they blast back behind you.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Not exactly a purest fly fishing method, because the mag Yeah.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: Those are just multiplier reels, multiplier reels large like a
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: large arbor multipliery.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Yeh, God, it was fun.
• 17:02
  Speaker 11: Man sounds, Steve, sounds like you need like a jiggen
• 17:04
  Speaker 11: rap or something back then shrap.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: So the the university somehow the Sioux Edison Electric thing
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: had gifted a couple of these turbans to Lake State
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: University's fisheries program. Okay, And there was a guy there
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: at that fisheries program who was dicking around with trying
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to introduce atlantics.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: That was back when they're still okay with introducing all
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: kinds of crazy stuff.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And he converted some of these hydro electric channels into
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: rearing habitat because he's just running actual river water, right,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: He's running like high velocity river water through this thing.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: And you'd go in there and they'd take I watched
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: or do it one time they take they take a
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: bunch of row from a fish. I mean literally in
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: a five gallon bucket. You got a bunch of fish
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: eggs in a five gown bucket. You dump in like
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: a scoop a seamen, stir it up with a paddle,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and it's ready to go, yeah, fertilized. And so they
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: had these raceways and they would rear these atlantics in
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: these raceways. So we're talking like like I can't remember it.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Let's say it was forty some of pulp picture pulp
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: su Edison hydro electric dam. You can count the turbans.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Let's say there's forty turbines the university owned, like turbine two, three, four,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and he'd raise atlantics in one of these, in two
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: of these turbues.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: How are they keeping them in there?
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: That just because it was all retro fitted. It was
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: like he was just using this spot where all this
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: natural river water to come through. And I don't I
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: can't remember how they break up, but it just looked
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: like these little fish tray raceways. It had actual temperature
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: controlled water coming through them. And he'd rear Atlantics in
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: this thing. Okay, there's eight, like, no way more eight?
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: Oh, here we go. Here it is.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Chester report back in a second. Chrinis is what the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: whole show is about.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: So but hear me out.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: This is just gonna start getting interesting now it hasn't
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: been yet, No, so check this out. So it was
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: like turbine number I can't remember what it was. Let's
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: let's say it was turbine number five was the Atlantic
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: salmon raceway. Okay, he'd rear them in there until they
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: were of whatever the hell size Atlantic salmon is when
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: it goes back to the ocean.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: And then cut them loose right there.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: They Yeah, so you know how salmon returns to its
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: natal spawning stream. These Atlantics had go out, okay and
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: get big, get huge, and no sons of bitches would
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: come back, and I'm not kidding you. To the raceway
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: number five, they had to fence it off.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Raceway number five would be stacked with giant Atlantics who
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: were like, I'm.
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: Home, anyone home?
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not kiddy man, huge Atlantic salmon's. And then
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: raceway would I say five, yeah, okay. Raceway four and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: six would have some like two or three, right, Raceway
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: seven and three might have one, but they were in.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: They knew what that smelled like, and they were like there.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: And the reason they had to fence it off is
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: because the Jibwe they had snagging rights, like the native
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: tribe there had snagging rights, but they sort of felt
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: like these Atlantics kind of fell outside and snagging right,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: So they had to fence it off so they couldn't
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: cast a snag and hooking air and drag those Atlantics
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: back out of there. That's what I was getting at, right.
• 20:53
  Speaker 11: Mm hm.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Great Lakes fisheries.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Oh Brody's little beaten stick. It was a nice beating stick.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Now to bring this full circle back to the Edmund
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: fits oh when we're doing the when we're doing the
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: book tour. I don't think Brody caught this because he
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: was off bs of the trivia fans. But a guy
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: comes up to me and he says, he's like, dude,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: what in the world is what the Edmund Fitzgerald thing?
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: All the time?
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't hear any of that.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: You wanted to complain about it, so I couldn't really
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: explain it. He never even listened to the song. He's
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: just filing a complaint.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: A lot of people come up to file complaints stuff.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Uh, well, I told you. Were you here when I
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: told you about what? Someone came up to me and
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: talk about with Krin.
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: I don't know put on for this that she Uh
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: they thought she looked smart.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: They couldn't figure out why she did so bad at trivia,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: and they looked at her picture and it was especially
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: confounding because she looks so smart.
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: Uh smart and getting You know, it.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: Had eighty turbine chambers. Does that sound right? And only
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: forty of which were used when the plant was operated?
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that could be. That sounds about right now.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: I counted, but it was it was hard.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I can't remember the numbers, But I think that we
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: used to have a real affinity for like twenty four
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: and twenty six or something like that, acause they were
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: higher velocity for some reason. Dude, I wish I yeah,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I'd like to go back there and hit that fishery.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: God, I was a lot of I was going to
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: ask you if you know if it's still going on there.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Dude, we were at Lake State, Man, we lived off
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: the land. Seriously, me and my roommates. We ate four
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: deer between.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Air and white fish.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: We ate four deer.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Between October one archery opener and Christmas break and hound.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: You get all that hunt and fishing done if you
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: were in school.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Just didn't take the school too seriously.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: That's why I transferred out.
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: That's an old trick.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: People don't realize if you live in a state. If
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you live in a state like Michigan has this deal
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: where if you bounce round, like I went to three colleges, right,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: if you bounce around, the other colleges will accept your
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: credit hours, but they don't care about the GPA. So
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: if you're in Michigan, this is a hot tip for
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: michigan Anders. If you're in Michigan. Never start where you're
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: gonna finish and your finishing school. How many credit hours
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: is like a college degree?
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I think it's like no. I think it might be
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Say, they might dictate to you that they want you
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: to wrap her up like they want you to get
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the final eighty or whatever.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: It is like a school. Like, let's say you wind
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: up at MSU.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Spencer's right, it's because it'd be eight times fifteen, roughly
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, So let's say you're going to land at where
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: where I landed at. I landed at Grand Valley State
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: University just to close her out, Okay, Grand Valley State
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: is going to dictate to you that they're like to
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: get a degrief. Must you have to get your final
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: X number of hours from I think I actually had
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: to do more credit hours and was normal. I had
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to do like an extra few because I needed to
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: hit their minimum requirement. You go to other schools, easy ones, and.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: When's where you can fish and hunt there hunt fishing.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: All you got to do is pass. Okay, serious, this
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: is I'm not joking, this is true. All you have
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: to do is.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Pass, so your goal is definitely not to learn anything.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: No, all you have to do is pass.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: You go to where you want to go.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Then you got to do good yep, and you get
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: you leave with a fake gpa, You get a you
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: graduate with a gpa that is not reflective of your
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: college experience. It's only reflective of where you wrapped her up.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: So I wrapped her up at GVSU and I walked
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: out of there was like a three six something.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go mess around when you're taking all that jen
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: ed shit. You're your freshman sophomore year.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: So I did two years of night classes at my
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: local commut unity college. My first two years of college
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: night classes, I didn't go down until six at night.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Were you still living back in twin.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I was trappeh trapped all day, hunted all day, whatever
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: else had going on. Chop Firewood went to school at night,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: walked out of there, and I was in the same position.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Is all these jokers that were working hard and in
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the end had a good GPA and got into good
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: graduate program.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah I would have.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: I would have.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: I would have taken you for a little bit higher
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: than a three six kind of guy.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Three six is pretty much.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: That's pretty high.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: That's high man is great.
• 25:36
  Speaker 10: I wasn't sure when that was going to turn into
• 25:37
  Speaker 10: a hot tip. But it's a hot tip, No it is. Yeah,
• 25:41
  Speaker 10: there's so MU should do a pamphlet. But you've got
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: to remember how old I am. Like they might have changed,
• 25:44
  Speaker 10: they might have figured this out and caught up to people.
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: Did you use a common practice among my social circle?
• 25:49
  Speaker 10: Did you brew your own beer in college too?
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: But my my brother's brewed beer in high school?
• 25:57
  Speaker 10: Did that work out for them?
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: The problem they would have is it would get a
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: quarter inch of white stuff on the bottom and it
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: didn't matter. You'd have to open it so gradually and
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: gently to not disturb the yeast, you know, like most
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: parents like, you can't drink in high school for whatever reason,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Like we weren't supposed to drink, but for every reason.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: If they like, they wouldn't make this beard. It was
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: just my parents were fine with it. I thought it
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: was interesting.
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: I had buddies who got like beer making. Kids had
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: garage sales and they had dollar signs in their eyes,
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: like thinking of how far ahead we're gonna come. Yeah,
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: they never never worked out. They never made a big man.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: No, God, I had some other thing I was gonna
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: add in here, something about not being oh krint, I
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: know we had a whole plan, but you got a
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: talking point.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: I got to add one thing about fish priests.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, then I'm done.
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: This is exciting, though I can't wait fish priests.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: When I wasn't allowed to get bad grades in high school,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: like I had to get an A or B. If
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I got a's or b's, nothing bad happened to me.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: And in wood shop I got a bad grade because
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: we had to do a lathe project.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: It seems unlike you woodshop.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Well, because for the lathe project, I made a large
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: wooden mallet.
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: It's the it spins wood, then you use the tools,
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: and so we had to laminate.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: We were supposed to laminate a stack of wood together
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and then lathe it into something cool. And I lathed
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: mine into like a very coarse cylinder, drilled a hole
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: in it and put a handle in it, so that
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I had a big, heavy wooden mallet. That I was
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: saying it was like a fish priest. Got bad grade
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and my dad took me down to school to have
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: a like arranged a little conference. I got a C minus.
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: But that why would you get a bad grade for that.
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: That's that doesn't seem.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: People were making really cool stuff. They're making lamp stands,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: and I made a blocker. I made an eight inch cylinder,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: and it was like, well, I made a Most guys
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: were making cool stuff, or they were making their parents
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: lamp stands.
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I I thought I've been drilling them out and warning them.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I use a handle.
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: I thought that the teacher was being unfair and kind
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: of judging you, not on your level of relative level
• 28:25
  Speaker 9: of skill, but on the fact that you were making
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: something used to you know, he.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Thought I was being a smart ass, and he thought
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I was being a slacker, both of which are true.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: And I don't know.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: We just wanted to go back to sniff and wood glue.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Anyhow, Well, you got to tell us, what would your
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: old man do?
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Oh? He was pissed and took me down, pissed at
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: you were pissed at the pissed at me. I got
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: you took me down and humiliated me in front of
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: the teacher, and then I had to improve my grade.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Would you remember what I made? After that? He was
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: he was not happy, and my dad was big woodwork
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: or so kind of stunn you know. Yeah, it'd be
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: like one of my kids got a bad grade and hunting.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Should I skip this thing about the Edmond Fitzgerald, I'll
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: put it.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: I'll say this.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: You know when David Grant was on and he said
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: all those things that have a maritime back, that was
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: so interesting, under the weather, under the ah, three sheets
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: to the wind.
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: It's like one more good one that we say all
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: the time. We have no idea what.
• 29:49
  Speaker 12: I forgot.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to get Dan pressed.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, whole pilum.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's underwriter, an insurance underwriter.
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: I just I just googled marry time or nautical phrases.
• 30:10
  Speaker 10: Pipe down one of them, batting down the hatches, dry,
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: scuttle butt, threw thick and thin, smooth sailing, seems obvious. Yeah,
• 30:25
  Speaker 10: down the hatch.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Sure, you're saying a lot of them, aren't that interesting?
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: It was, you know, it was interesting to listen to
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: you struggle to come up with that.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: You felt that was more interesting.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Hear me, hear me, do not say he broke. I know,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I was having a great moment. I was having a
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: great hosting moment, and the Spencer came in and ruined it.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Underwriting is a maritime insurance thing. Like in the old
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: days they would, uh, it's kind of interesting. So he
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: so the connection Edvan Fitzgerald, and this is the last
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: note on the Edmond fits the boat was that the
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: boat was actually owned by an insurance company. It was
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: owned by Northwestern Mutual Insurance Company out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: The company had invested a lot of their earnings in
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: iron ore and mineral mining. The Edmund Fitzgerald was just
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the CEO of Northwestern Mutual when they built the ship.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Had no idea that that is not cool. That's like
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: in the old days. In the old days, you would
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: it was okay for you to name birds and animals
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: after yourself. That's considered not cool anymore. What's his name,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: barn No.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Stellar Stellar. He's got all kind parents.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Stellar Stellar's like I'll take that Ja, I'll take that
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: sea lion or whatever. Lewis everything you saw, yeah, Lewis.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: And now it's it's uncool. You don't name stuff after
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: yourself anymore. There's a movement now to give things names
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: from indigenous people's indigenous language.
• 32:02
  Speaker 10: It also seems fashionable and name things after other people though,
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: Like Edinburgh has a lot of things named after him
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: that he didn't discover.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's I think that's that's okay.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Uh, because you're paying you're like paying homage, You're paying
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: amage homage. This guy, he's like, I got a great
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: name for the boat.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: He helped bring baseball back to Milwaukee, is what I'm
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: reading too.
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: In your head?
• 32:29
  Speaker 10: Who was Edmund Fitzgerald before you learned this? Never thought
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: about it like a war captain.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: That never was to me. Uh. They used to be
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: able to publicly, you would publicly sell insurance on cargoes
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and vessels. An underwriter was just someone that would write there,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: literally write their name under the post looking for insurers.
• 32:54
  Speaker 9: That is pretty interesting.
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: Uh Oh remember how I was saying, Well, I feel
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: like if this happened today, it'd be a conspiracy theory.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: No, certainly, like.
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: An insurance company guy named it after himself to get
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: famous when it sank.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Couldn't happen. You know. One of my favorite movies, I
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: don't like the book, but I like the movie that
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen very often is Inherent Vice. And there's a
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: prominent character and Inherent Vice, played by Benicio del Toro
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: is a maritime lawyer and inherent vice, so it's a
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Thomas Pinchon novel. Inherent Vice in maritime insurance is all
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the things that one can't control, like shipping on the seas,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: there's inherent vice. Things rot, things get wet. Whatever. It's like,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: you know when you see like act of God stuff.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Inherent vice is just stuff's gonna happen to the cargo.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: Two pieces that came out from so does.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: We've had a podcast guest on I believe maybe a
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: couple times at our Neett who used to be the
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: chief scientist that Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and he left.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: He rsp on great terms.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Because he got to go and be the CEO of
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: the Wildlife Society. And the Wildlife Society funds and orchestrates.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: They might be screwing this up. Someone looked that up.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: What do they call their mission statement? They fund an
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: orchestrate wildlife research.
• 34:35
  Speaker 9: Spencer's got it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: Best, Typer.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: What is the Wildlife Society's mission statement?
• 34:41
  Speaker 10: Our mission is to inspire, empower and enable wildlife professionals.
• 34:46
  Speaker 10: Starts with giving you the resources to succeed.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. So they published a lot of
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: new wildlife research coming out and there's two that ed
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: passed aloandis recently one. I had caught one of this,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: but this this is like a month old now or so.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Florida just became the latest state to have for them
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: to have found c w D in Florida.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: M hm.
• 35:11
  Speaker 12: Uh.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: And you know the odds that you found the first
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: deer that shows you know, you're right, it could have
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: been could have been there for years. They just found it,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: you know, with enough testing they found a deer with
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: c w D. So Florida is now the that's a
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: good question for you. Spencer, is now the blank state
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: to have c w D.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing it's got to be high thirties or say forty.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: That would be a good tributa question. Why don't you
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: find the answer to that, Spencer?
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: And it was because a roadway accident of vehicular Is
• 35:40
  Speaker 9: that where the.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Deer came from?
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Testing roadkill?
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: Yes?
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: Yes, huh, because hunters probably don't really get him tested
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: too much.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean there's a massive amounts of there's
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: no way that I bet you anything.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: There's more hunter tested.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know this for a fact, but I bet
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: you there's more hunter tested deer than roadkill test the
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: deer in Florida. Oh, Florida. I don't know. Yeah, I'm
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying Florida in a super populated state like that.
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: This was the white tailed deer had been struck by
• 36:15
  Speaker 9: a vehicle in Holmes County, and Florida Fish and Wildlife
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: Conservation Commission confirmed the presence of chronic wasting disease in
• 36:25
  Speaker 9: this wild deer that was killed on the highway.
• 36:28
  Speaker 10: This this says thirty one US states and four Canadian provinces.
• 36:32
  Speaker 10: That's as of June sixteen, twenty twenty three. From the USGS.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Alaska and Hawaii will obviously be the holdouts.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: We're talking to. That guy on the book Toy said,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Utah hasn't had any yet is a surprise.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's the current.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: What's there?
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: This map shows Utah is full of it.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, with current regular under current guidelines and the
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: way they're handling it right now, in the way that
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the USDA is looking at deer breeders and stuff. It's
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: everybody will have it except for Hawaiian except for Hawaii.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: In Alaska, and Alaska's.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Getting you know, they get muledier coming into Alaska now
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: and then and it's shoot on site for meal to Alaska. Uh.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: Another one.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: And we've talked about this a bunch but and I
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: haven't really looked into this, but sometimes you'll live in
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: a state and there might not be any wild pigs
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: in your state, or there might be a few wild
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: pigs in your state, and they will all of a
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: sudden say it's illegal to hunt wild pigs. And you'd
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: say to yourself, well, that seems stupid. If we're trying
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: to get rid of wild pigs, why would it be
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: illegal to kill wild pigs. What's motivating that legislation is
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: they realize that the like what is caught not not CWD?
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Here talk about another thing that spreads Hunters spread wild Yeah,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: pig enthusiasts, enthusiasts.
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: It's weird when you go down to some of those places,
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: you know, down in like Texas and in Florida, because
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: they'd be people would be like, I kind of you know,
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: I want you to get all the pigs off my property.
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: But then they're also like they like like having them around. Oh,
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: you know, there's like this weird vibe there.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: It's a hobby of mine. Is I like to ask
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: landowners who complain about pigs if they could too. There's
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: two questions. I'm like, if you could make it wave
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: a magic wand and they just would be gone. I've
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: never met someone that said yes there. I was like, wow, yeah,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: not all of them, Yeah, because they know people like
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: to eat them. Yeah, people like to eat them. And
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: the other thing is, and you always bring this up
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: to people, is like Cal was telling a landowner Hawaii
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: this they're talking about complaining about the pigs, and Cal said,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I know how you can get rid of all these pigs.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Put up a big sign that says please hunt this
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: property for sure. And the person said, you know what
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: kind of people we'd get on this property if we
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: did that, to which Kel said, barbecuers. Uh tails, I
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: talking about the pigs.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, so there's this.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: There's this also this thing in a wildlife society article,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: like a like a journal article that state that that
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: there's that this article is arguing that states that are
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: being strict around strict around not being able to move
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: wild hogs, not being able to hunt wild hogs, right
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: like very lined in the sand about wild hogs are
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: slowing the spread more than states that are facilitating the
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: hunting of wild hogs.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Makes sense that it's effective.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and whenever look, you know Missouri. I remember being
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: in Missouri where they were like like I can't. I
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: was talking to a wild hog expert and he was like,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: they were categorically that's how they're there. They're there from
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: people that go down south and they like hunting hogs,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: and why not have them closer to home.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: We talked the today about when we uh when we
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: had that zeb zeb Hogan. We're talking about fish that
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: are tolerant. We spent a lot of time on fish
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: that can handle fresh an, salt water or not. And
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: we were talking about the spread of northern pike out
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: of the siouxsitting a drainage where they were introduced by
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: someone that likes to fish northerns and how from that
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: drainage are then bouncing to other drainages by just swimming
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: out into salt water and coming back going these fish
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: And they can see it when they take these fish
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: out of these other systems. They can look at the
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: stable isotopes and they can see where that fish was.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: That fish has marine stable isotopes where that fish was
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: spending time in the ocean and then shot up a
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: different river system.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: That's an they're spreading through the ocean.
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: Really, I wonder how long they can. I've got a
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: lot of questions.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Now his ask gets washed out or whatever, I don't know,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: goes on a tour and he's like, I gotta get
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: out of here, I don't know, and find some stream
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: and shoots up it and then finds a boy or
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: girl to make love to.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Well the pit it's illegal to hunt him here, right, Pigs.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: And mont the band hog hunt them Montana.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: I think they might have, but I want to know,
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Like I'd love to talk to someone from FWP to know,
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: like if they feel like it's a serious threat from Canada.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: They branded it, what do they call him? Northern super
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: hard right right?
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: I want to know if it's like.
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, you know what?
• 41:45
  Speaker 9: Uh?
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: We covered that and I get all I spent all
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: this time, my kids all worked up about Canadian super
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: hawks Like it's I say some So listen, there's the
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: old kind of hog. Does the whole world over? Any
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: pig year eight, any piece of bacon you ever ate,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: anyone you ever talked to hunting wild hogs in America.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Same thing.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: It's sus scrafa. It's it's that's okay.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: The only thing that can take down those Canadian superhogs
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: is a Canadian super wolf.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Yep. So it's suscraffa. Yeah, and he's all worked up
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: about Canadian super hogs. And I realized that on our
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: own website when we covered that group, that population of
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: hogs that are north of Montana, the best Canadian super hogs.
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: It's what a great name.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the Wisconsin super sou and Canadian superhogs.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: But it's it's it can be.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: They're demonstrating here that that those regulations which strike you
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: as being so counterintuitive, if you don't.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: Want hogs, why would we not hunt.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Them, that it's actually effective in preventing the introduction of hogs.
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: I mean those outfitters and stuff down and axis, they
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: make some a serious living, you know, making sure they
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: have hogs on their properties.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: I mean it's got it. They've got to be moved
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: around and trapped. And I bet you some of those
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: guys buy hogs. You know, if they're starting to get low.
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: It wouldn't surprise me.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: Brandon Butler.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: When we were hunting in Missouri for turks, he took
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: me out and showed me like sort of wildcat hog traps.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: The dudes are just going out in the woods to
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: construct from catching their own hogs in areas that have
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: them so they could bring them to bring them to
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: places that don't.
• 43:38
  Speaker 12: Uh.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Quick correction, A couple of corrections. So you know, we
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: always point out that doctor Randall is the only doctor
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: that works at this company.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: That's who are we leaving out.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Well, Jordan Siller's like kind of quietly snuck in with
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: a PhD. Does have time to be getting a PhD.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: I to get one of those. I need to figure
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: out how to get one. What's his pH d in?
• 44:05
  Speaker 9: It's in English? So, speaking of our Meat Eater website,
• 44:08
  Speaker 9: he I don't know if he was the person who
• 44:11
  Speaker 9: wrote that article on the super hogs.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: What's shaking your head about?
• 44:15
  Speaker 13: Okay, because it's like, dud, Jordan, It's like, that's cool.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: It's not philosophy, and I have a I have an
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: advanced I'll point out I have the.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Old you know, I just don't have a pH d.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: So on our episode Glassing for sheds, which is quite
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: a while ago now when we had bed Ben Detamantian,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: we were talking about can you say strewed.
• 44:57
  Speaker 9: And that was in the context of of a of
• 45:01
  Speaker 9: antlers and uh shed antler piles being found found by
• 45:07
  Speaker 9: like seas not found seized by and then cut up
• 45:13
  Speaker 9: like dog treats and thrown across or scattered across.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Hear me out, so as Crena said, so a guy
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: got bosted for hunting sheds ahead of time before an
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: area was and he'd even cut some up. So down
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: in Wyoming, they just go back out and they scatter
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: him about so people can rEFInd.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: Him the cut up ones, even the cut up.
• 45:37
  Speaker 11: You're finding, which I was pointing out.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: It was a little bit like like Easter egg hunt, right,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: you know, like someone just was touching that egg earlier today,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: so uh do you know.
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: Right they're chili me.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great, can't got your tongue.
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: You guys are pull that mic up close.
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: You guys are just talking having grand all the time.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: So I said that they went and strewed him about
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: the landscape, and I thought that can't be a word
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: and our and this is coming from an actual pH
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: D in English, in English of all things.
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: So he would your PhD be in I don't think
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: you can get.
• 46:23
  Speaker 10: A PhD in what I studied, Okay, but if you
• 46:26
  Speaker 10: were going to get a PhD, definitely not would work.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Oh if I was going to go now, I would
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: pursue a pH d in American history?
• 46:35
  Speaker 9: Or would you go to law school?
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: Well, no, that's a whole different deal.
• 46:38
  Speaker 9: They're not, you know, the whole ticket in raffle.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: To study sleep, steaks, and an expert on that.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would love to be.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: A world expert, world expert on sweep stakes and raffle man.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: It comes from the Old English Struian ustre Oian, meaning
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: to scatter. I think the reason it sounds weird is
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: because it seems to be used most commonly as the
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: past participle strewn. That's right. Past participles are words formed
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: from verbs that can be used as an adjective to
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: form perfect verb.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Tenses, as in, they were strewn across the.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Land and to form the passive voice, which your English
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: teachers will be out of you eventually. So people would
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: usually use the passive voice. The sheds were strewn, were
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: strewn on the landscape, as opposed to the active wildlife
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: officials strewed the shed on the landscape.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Can you say it? Look at those guys strewing antlers?
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all right.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: We recently had an episode called The Guru Comes Up
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: for Air? Is that crarect?
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Oh right there? Episode four or fifty two The Guru
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Comes Up for Air, in which we interviewed a formal apostle,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: a former apostle of the Health Guru, wim Hoff, who
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: has strayed from the orthodoxy, to question some of his
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: judgment and character. In this we got to talk about
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: shallow water blackouts and yeah, I don't think he wasn't
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: familiar with shadow water blackout.
• 48:28
  Speaker 9: I think perhaps he's familiar. Yeah, go ahead, Brody.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Well, it felt like you were talking about one thing
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: and he was talking because he said he mentioned shallow
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: water blackout. But it was like, I felt like, you
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: guys are talking about two different things.
• 48:42
  Speaker 9: And I feel like we weren't. We weren't totally clear
• 48:44
  Speaker 9: as to why I was called.
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I wasn't there.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: I was like, my understanding, I told him, my understanding
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: is that maybe I'm wrong. My understanding is that people
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: tend to black out by the surface and that's where
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: why shallow water blackout? But I didn't really know, so
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of people wrote in. Greg Fonce wrote in
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: about this. It's called shallow water blackout, but I'm using
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: this one because it's so it's so perfect the connection
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: to watch this. Remember how we were talking about sus
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Saint Marie earlier. I do well, A Navy seal wrote
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: in to offer a correction, points out, I was born
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: and raised in Sus Saint Marie, Michigan, Wow, and grew
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: up two blocks from Lake State University, active duty seal.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: He teaches UH seal medics dive medicine. Okay, so he
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: teaches future seal medics dive medicine, which is why he
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: wants to put so highly credentialed. Here's why free divers
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: and others dive. Here's why when they black out, they
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: blackout at the surface. This will tickle your fancy. I
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: could do the short and palatable, or I could do
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: long and boring. He gives the option, Let's go with
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: long and boring. He starts out by saying the pathophysiology
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: is long and drawn out. Okay, follow me. The pressure
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: at depth pushes blood from the thoracic cavity to the
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: peripheral space like the brain, because the lungs aren't taking
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: up much volume.
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: Smaller lungs use less blood.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: So you have air and under pressure, right that it
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: shrinks your lungs squeeze in it.
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: That's why like trachia squeezes, lung squeezes like an issue
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: people can get when they're diving at depth.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll point out here he doesn't have this
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: in there. But I'll point out you can't compress You
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: can pressurize water, but you can't compress water. Like no
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: matter how much pressure you put on water, you don't
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: make it smaller, right, you know it doesn't. It's still
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: volume wise, it still takes up the same volume air
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: under pressure, you can pressurize air, it takes up less volume.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: So when you dive down, and they talk about atmospheres,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: so it's like thirty feet, sixty feet, ninety feet correlates
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: to these these different atmospheres at which pressure becomes noticeably different.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: So when you go down, your lungs shrink because you're
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: full of air. You went down on a full breath hold.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Like I mentioned when I was teaching my boy how
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: to hold his breath I'll say, imagine filling your ball
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: sack with air. You're feeling your breathe so deep, you're
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: feeling your testicles there.
• 51:28
  Speaker 10: Could he imagine that he laughed okay, and.
• 51:32
  Speaker 9: Then the air came out, and then he lost all
• 51:34
  Speaker 9: his air.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: You're breathing that deep, but you go down and all
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's pushing less.
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: So he's saying that when this happens, blood.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Is moving out of there all right, and the increase
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: in blood being pushed to the brain, So more blood
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: is shoved to your brain, which compensates for the lower
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: arterial oxen saturation that occurs when your body metabolizes the
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: oxygen deering your breath hold. So you're got a big
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: bunch of air and all that blood goes in and
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: the blood's going somewhere, so you're sending more oxygenated blood
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: goes to your brain, right, which helps compensate for the
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: fact that you're not breathing now now the ascent you're ascending.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: When you ascend, if you were so borderlined, that the
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: only thing keeping your oxygen saturation in an acceptable range
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: for consciousness generally twenty five to twenty mmhg's whatever the hell.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: That means, all of.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: A sudden, your lungs, as you knew the surface, your
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: lungs fully expand.
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: And it pulls that blood out from your your noggin.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: That extra blood that was hanging out up there.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Your lungs go because now, like the whole thing with
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: the Benz, right now, your lungs are well, the bends different.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: That's breathing on a tank, not the Benz. Your lungs
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: are going back to normal. His noise they're making, right,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Did you get that fill?
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great.
• 53:15
  Speaker 8: Thanks.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Uh sucks the blood out of your head and then
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: you pass out, and you pass out. He goes on
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: to say his name is Smooch who wrote in He
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: goes on to say snobs would call this ascent blackout,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: but not me, no way.
• 53:37
  Speaker 9: And m M HG HG is mercury on the periodic table,
• 53:40
  Speaker 9: and mm is millimeter and a millimeter of mercury is
• 53:44
  Speaker 9: a menometric unit of pressure.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Got it? That clarifies things for me.
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: It's a it's a weird it's a weird thing that
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: shallow water blackout because you can just be feeling pretty
• 54:00
  Speaker 6: good and fine and then the next thing you know,
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: someone's unconscious.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: I haven't done it yet. Well yeah, but I mean
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: I know so many people that have and they don't.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: They don't they one minute, the way they describe it,
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: one minut they're swimming up toward the surface and the
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: next minute someone's blown across their face at the surface
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: and they're trying to figure out what the hell happen.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: No panic, so feasibly it would be a painless way
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: to die.
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: Did you say that you did it or you were
• 54:33
  Speaker 8: close to do it?
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: I've never shallow water, I've never done it.
• 54:35
  Speaker 9: No.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: There's a thing called the Samba two that that free
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: divers talk about.
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: And that's break.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you break the surface and then you like not
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: beneath surface. You break the surface and you get woozy
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: and tippy at the surface. They'll say you sambaed, meaning
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: you kind of like had a little bit of a
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: you kind of passed out a little teeny bit once
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: you broke surface. But in shallow water black ou Let's
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: say you black out three feet shot of the surface
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: and stop kicking and you're underwater. Yeah, so you have
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: a mamillion you have that mi million dive reflex, so
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: you don't breathe, right, away, you sink and don't do anything,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: and eventually whatever amount of energy it requires to have
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: the MA million dive reflex activated, that subsides and then
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: you take your death breath.
• 55:26
  Speaker 9: But then you're taking your death breath of water, basically.
• 55:29
  Speaker 14: Don't They usually say that's like typically about two minutes
• 55:32
  Speaker 14: before that happens.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know, I never heard.
• 55:35
  Speaker 14: I've heard, I've heard, and I'll probably get corrected. But yeah,
• 55:39
  Speaker 14: like when you pass out, you have ballpark about two
• 55:42
  Speaker 14: minutes before you take that, oh, death breath. I don't know,
• 55:45
  Speaker 14: someone can maybe look that up and see. But that's
• 55:47
  Speaker 14: what I was always to know.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: That, so I would. I mean, that's not surprising to me.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: It's not thirty minutes.
• 55:53
  Speaker 14: Right, Yeah, But like they said, if somebody passes out
• 55:55
  Speaker 14: in the water, you have about two minutes.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Before like to find it its lights out. So yeah,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: and this is a big part of why, uh, you know,
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: the serious spear fishermen that are being safe. We'll always
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: practice one guy on surface, one guy down, one guy
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: on surface, one guy down, and so the guy on
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: surface is presumably paying attention to hey, he should.
• 56:18
  Speaker 8: Have he shouldn't be floating.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: He should be up here and you go down to
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: hunt him down.
• 56:25
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna do some diving this weekend.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Are you. We're at.
• 56:30
  Speaker 5: A lake in the ocean lake in Montana taking.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: A spear, nice.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: Chili. Can can you explain this? Can you explain that pistol?
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: And then we're gonna hang that in the new studio?
• 56:57
  Speaker 8: Well do you want like the history of it or
• 56:59
  Speaker 8: like the story how I got it?
• 57:01
  Speaker 9: Both?
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: Both? All right?
• 57:02
  Speaker 8: So not a very interesting interesting story how we got it.
• 57:05
  Speaker 14: My dad got it from a work call league back
• 57:08
  Speaker 14: in the day that's had a I mean I think
• 57:12
  Speaker 14: she had this and like an old fifty cow flint
• 57:14
  Speaker 14: lock and gave the flint lock rifle to somebody else
• 57:18
  Speaker 14: and then gave this to my dad and then it's
• 57:20
  Speaker 14: just been hanging up in our house for the entirety
• 57:24
  Speaker 14: of my life, and then passed it on down to
• 57:27
  Speaker 14: me and my brother and then But so it's a
• 57:31
  Speaker 14: it's a if you want to.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: Look at it, oh man, Yeah, damn, get it towards
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: the camera.
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: No trigger guard back then?
• 57:40
  Speaker 8: Huh no, No, And I'd actually love you pulled that
• 57:42
  Speaker 8: thing out of there? No you want to?
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to break the back.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to break it to get in there.
• 57:54
  Speaker 8: I don't think the case came with the gun, So.
• 57:57
  Speaker 9: You can break it with your palth.
• 57:58
  Speaker 8: We can busted up like a pick of that.
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't need to do that. That's pretty sweet though. Yeah.
• 58:03
  Speaker 14: So it's a it's a thirty two caliber rim fire.
• 58:08
  Speaker 14: It's an old Civil War era pistol. They made them
• 58:12
  Speaker 14: from six eighteen sixty one to eighteen seventy four. There's
• 58:16
  Speaker 14: roughly about seventy seven thousand of them made a man
• 58:20
  Speaker 14: roughly seventy seven thousand, and it feels like that.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: I would have guessed ten.
• 58:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, No, they mass produced for sure.
• 58:31
  Speaker 14: They also think that the first thirty five thousand in
• 58:34
  Speaker 14: production had a very good chance of actually being in
• 58:38
  Speaker 14: the Civil.
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: War, so it would have been issued to soldiers.
• 58:41
  Speaker 8: Correct, it was ago. I won't read this whole thing,
• 58:44
  Speaker 8: but again, I think.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: ReBs, I think, I think again, my people weren't here yet,
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: so I don't need to worry about that gun having
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: felled one of my people.
• 58:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we were Midwest.
• 58:56
  Speaker 14: It's not so they probably failed your people probably probably.
• 59:01
  Speaker 8: Um.
• 59:03
  Speaker 14: Yeah, So they say that first thirty thirty five thousand
• 59:05
  Speaker 14: probably were in the war, and then It goes on
• 59:09
  Speaker 14: to say, so all the serial numbers are on it.
• 59:13
  Speaker 14: This is on the hilt I think it's called the
• 59:15
  Speaker 14: hilt of the handle, right on the bottom side of
• 59:17
  Speaker 14: the pistol grip.
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, that piece of metal that runs that the plate's going.
• 59:22
  Speaker 14: To Yeah, I can't remember what it was, but it
• 59:24
  Speaker 14: has a serial number, and this one starts with the
• 59:27
  Speaker 14: forty four thousand, So it wasn't necessarily probably.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: In the war. Oh.
• 59:32
  Speaker 14: But what's interesting is since they only made them to
• 59:34
  Speaker 14: eighteen seventy four, that put if it was made then
• 59:39
  Speaker 14: at the last year, it's still one hundred and fifty
• 59:41
  Speaker 14: years old.
• 59:41
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 59:42
  Speaker 5: Hilt says that the handle of any weapon or tool.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: So this this it's a revolver or with no trigger guard. No,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: a trigger that is not trigger like correct, But that's
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: not a great description. How would you describe that trigger?
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: It's and then a cylinder with no no notching in
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: the cylinder. It's a smooth cylinder.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's in a very rudimentary bead and groove to
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: aim it.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: Have you guys had a red dot on that thing?
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, no, we could do.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: You know, the barrel's rifled, you know, I don't.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 8: I really don't.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 14: I don't know a whole lot about like all the things,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 14: all the research that I did on this was pretty
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 14: much the same stuff. It kind of goes into the
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 14: history of it, not like the dynamics of the pistol itself.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: Is it like Brody's Priest?
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: What do you call this persuader?
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Is it like Brody sam and Persuader where it's got
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: notches in the handle?
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 8: No, I don't.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 14: I I think I would rather take that into a
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 14: fight than this thing, though, that's for sure.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: You don't know anybody started taking that out and taking
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: a crack on it.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 8: No, I can't say that I have.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 14: It's always been this was hanging up in our stairwell
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 14: going downstairs, and it was there for I don't know
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 14: eighteen years that I lived there, and my dad always
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 14: that don't touch it.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: So no, and then.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 14: And then you brought it here, and then and then
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 14: and then I grew up and I got out of
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 14: the house and he's like, yeah, you want it. I'm like, sure,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 14: you got to take it to It's probably he's going
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 14: to catch you now.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: He gives him a big old whooping.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: Right, persuader little pants down smacks a little butt right
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: here for touching his pistol.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 7: Can I see it?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, you got to take it to someone to
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: make sure there's not something you should be doing to
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: like preserve it or what. You know what I mean.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 8: Well, I mean it's one hundred and fifty. I think
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 8: it looks pretty good for a hundred.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 14: Sure it does, but you know, yeah, there's probably some
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 14: better method to take care of that thing. And I
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 14: would actually be really interested in someone that knows what
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 14: they're doing with that particular.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: There's someone out there that knows everything about that gun,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: yeah you know what I mean, but like.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: Just like but you'll get some people writing in about
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: it from here.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 14: Oh, I'm sure. And my biggest curiosity is that trigger,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 14: Like I want to know like how that works. And
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 14: because I mean that it just looks weird.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah what there would be some kind of antique firearms
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: enthusiasts out there. Oh maybe he's maybe there's a mirror
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: expert who's also an anti he come and take care
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: of it here.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 6: I think those triggers are like are relatively common because
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 6: I feel like I've seen them at antique stores. I'm
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 6: like little little pistols and twenty two years.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: It just like hangs you take a stab at it.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: There's a little hang down, a little tear drop shape
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: hanged down in the trigger rest, and the trigger.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 4: Is like a little.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: Never mind, great, great crack.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 9: A little button.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: But just think about it.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 14: I think, I think when you you know cock that
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 14: like what I can picture is when you cock, the
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 14: handle goes yeah, and then it becomes whatever active and
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 14: then you pull it back.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 8: And I don't think.
• 1:03:01

• 1:03:47
  Speaker 8: You know, I can't say that they are.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think that they are.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: Here's like, oh maybe the guys that are making our
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: punt gun ammo when they finish that w able to
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: do this.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 8: We still got to hang that up and we got
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 8: to get the.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: So, bro, you couldn't find you weren't able to find
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: the email the guy sent in.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 4: We recently had a guy right in.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I found the email. I just didn't find anything
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: about an age. It was the size of the skull that.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: He Oh, and that's what was certified by the state.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they had it measured twenty three inches, which is
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: out of what state is at Minnesota. No kid, but
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: that's also where the oldest black bear was from too.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: So a guy wrote in and he found a twenty
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: three inch found it dead, died on his land. Found
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: a twenty three inch bear skull.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I think he might have found the bear.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Oh so like so just for context here all time
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: Boom and Crockett is twenty one Yeah, enormous blackbirds.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a bear died on his land and there was
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: some back and forth about whether he could claim it
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: or it was the States, and it ended up in
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: a lawsuit.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking of something different. Give me me, there's something different, Bears.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: There's another guy that just had this old ass.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: I did not see that one. Sorry, no, no, no,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: I thought we were talking about that campfire one. Sorry Phil.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: Oh you're good. If anyone wants to fill the space
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: with some interesting bandits.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 10: If if the world record Boon and Crocket black Bear's
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 10: skull measured twenty three and ten sixteenths, yeah, so this.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: Is twenty three.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: It's like, uh, it's gigantic, enormous anyway, like, well, this
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: will probably all get cut. But this guy ended up
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: in a lawsuit with the state over possession of that
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: skull and got it. Which is weird because you know,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: in a lot of places you just watch around a
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: different stories pick up dead heads.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 10: And that that world record was also picked up in YouTube.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: Just hold offer because we're not recording right now.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: Just a reminder that now we're doing a live editing
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: with the video. It's uh kind of a pain to
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: cut things out. I'll make it work. I'll make it work,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: just only if we can just sorry to avoid it
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: from here.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: On out back to the bear and he can be
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: testy like that back there because he doesn't have to.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: Look at it.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like getting testy with a customer service
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: wrap over the phone, you'd say something you never say
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: in person.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: I kind of agree with you, but I feel like
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: you're a little hard on Phil.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I wish she was here looking me in the eye.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: That's what the morphil.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I want more Phil, not less Phil.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: Well, we can talk about the oldest bear?
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: No, I do want to hear?
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so so, but either way, there's some dude
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: recently wrote in and I lost it, but he wrote
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: in and he found this this bear and it looked
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: like you had taken an angle grinder and removed its teeth.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: And he got some certification back and this bear was
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: I feel like the spar was in the thirties and
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: then whatever the hell state he was in, it was
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: the oldest bear found in the state.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: But I can't find his thing. Yeah, but you found that.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, what's the biggest black bear on record?
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 10: Twenty three and ten sixteens. It came from Utah and
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 10: it was picked up.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: And if people aren't familiar that measurement, all it is
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: is length the skull and width the skull added together.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: Isn't it weird? How the biggest of most stuff is
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: picked up mm hmm, like so often the biggest specimens
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: picked up. So the biggest big horn sheep pick up,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: the biggest white tail picked up, the biggest black bear
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: picked up this. So this was twenty three inches. And
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: then the oldest bear on record was thirty nine years
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: old out of Minnesota. Yep, yep.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: It's not killed by a hunter, died natural causes.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: M And then so the dude that found it got
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: in a little custody battle. And who wound up with
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: the skull? He did? He did? Okay, but that brings
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: us a round to how Chester has an old ass bear.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I shot this bear with a recurve.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 8: Wild back home.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 6: I made, made the bow, and this is a local
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 6: bear and it was a sow. But when I brought
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 6: it in to f w P, well, no.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: Tell what happened before he brought it in.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 7: Tell us about the hunt.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 6: Okay, it's a it's an interesting hunt. So it was
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 6: a snap jiggen in a meadow anyways, No, I uh.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 6: In the springtime in Montana, a lot of the time
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 6: you can find bears in green metals, you know, up
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 6: in the mountains. They're coming down out of the snow
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 6: and chowing on wild flowers and grass, and that's exactly
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 6: what I was doing. I was glassing over these green
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 6: meadows and this bear came out, and I had been
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 6: glassing up another bear, and this one looked substantially bigger.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 6: And I got to the edge of this field. The
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 6: wind was absolutely perfect, but it almost looked like a
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 6: manecured field, like some landscaping company came in there and
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 6: made it look all pretty. There was there was one
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 6: juniper in the middle of it. So I got to
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 6: the edge of this field and the wind was right,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 6: and I took my shoes off, and I was just like,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 6: I'm going to see how close I can get to
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 6: this thing. Took my shoes off so I could try
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 6: and be.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: With Yeah, I think your feet were itchy or an itchy.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 6: No, but it was facing away, and like I said,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 6: the wind was right, and I just kept creeping towards it,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 6: real slow, not crawling or anything.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 7: Using the tree between you and the bear.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 6: Nope, just staying on its hind end. And luckily it
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 6: just stayed facing away from me. And I probably got
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 6: like sixty seventy yards and that juniper was I was
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 6: getting close to that juniper, and the bear was just
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 6: on the other side of it, and I was like,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 6: as soon as it gets on the other side of
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 6: this juniper, I'm gonna just hustle my butt up and
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 6: be right there. So shake hands, shake hands with it.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 6: It gets on the other side of that juniper, that's
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 6: exactly what I do. And it steps out broadside. It's
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 6: you know, probably fifteen to eighteen yards, I don't know,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 6: somewhere in there. And I shoot it, and I think
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 6: it's just a beautiful, perfect shot. And if any of
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 6: you guys have hundred bears before, they got a lot
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 6: of fur, a lot of hair, and it can kind
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 6: of be deceiving because you're shooting at a black blob,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 6: you know. So I think it's just a perfect shot,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 6: and you know, my heart's going and it takes off
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 6: down into the woods and I start blood trailing and
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 6: there's no blood to be found whatsoever. And I look
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 6: and look and look, and I'm just getting super discouraged.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 6: So I start doing what every hunter would do. They
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 6: grid search it, you know, they kind of get on
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 6: onyx and start making a track. And I was gridding
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 6: this hill signed and I was a.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: Lot of seconds. Yeah, we should just put this in
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: the fucking Discoveries thing.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I don't know the rest of the story,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: but if you haven't figured that out, Yeah, we shouldn't
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: talk about this a little interstitial never mind, you got
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: to go in the book. Sorry, Phil, show us your
• 1:11:27

• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: No, it's anyways.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: Uh, you can't tell I'm doing fine? Is it a
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: learning process for everyone? I'll take it.

• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 10: Okay, this, this here is an extinct sea creature. I
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 10: was hunting in Montana.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 4: Looks like I've found the little chunks before, but go on.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 10: I was hunting in Montana in twenty nineteen, and that
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 10: morning I was sitting behind my spotter and I glassed
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 10: this up. It was in like some bad Lands country,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 10: and I glassed it up from a long ways away,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 10: and I didn't know what it was.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 9: You gotta explain what you saw, though.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: I saw that exactly.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 9: People people have home who are listening.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 10: People want to say that it's a it looks like
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 10: a core sample that you took from the here.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: I thought when I came in and this was sitting here,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: I thought for some reason there was a core sample
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: in here.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 10: It is not a core sample. It looks like you when.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 4: You look at it carefully, it's oval.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: You know how some people got a game.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 10: I Spencer's got a thing and yeah, and mushroom eye
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 10: really bad. I'm a very bad shed hunter. I think
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 10: I'm very good at mushrooms and rocks.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 5: Are you interested in sheds?
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: Though terribly interested in shed are?
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 5: I wish I was better because I didn't know if
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 5: it was just like games.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: No, Seth Morris has the best shed I know.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 10: Yeah, It's it's hard for me to not do one
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 10: and do the other, because it seems like the best
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 10: shed hunters are like scanning a large area, and when
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 10: you're looking for mushrooms and rocks, you're often looking in
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 10: like a very small area. Your cone, like your sonar,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 10: is tiny. The sheds you're you're like looking over a
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 10: big area. I can't I can't come to that.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: I was walking through the woods with Seth. I had
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: to duck my head to not poke a shed antler
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: in my eye that his buck had gotten hung up
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: in some grapevine and missed that. And it's like, look
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: a shed hanging from a grapevine at high level in
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: the trail you just walked down.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 10: This looks like a core sample. It's about as thick
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 10: as a beer can. A little little smaller, a little smaller. Okay, white,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 10: it's good if you put like two white claws on
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 10: top of each other, right, one and a half. Okay,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 10: it's very good describing stuff. It's in your hand right now,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 10: not mine. This is an extinct sea creature. It's called
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 10: a back you light. Back you lights lived from about
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 10: sixty six million years ago, which is when the dinosaurs
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 10: also an extinct to one hundred million years ago. Sounds
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 10: like a long time, but if you if you want
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 10: some context, like dinosaurs showed up like two hundred million
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 10: years ago and then disappeared sixty six million years ago,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 10: So dinosaurs had already been around for one hundred million
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 10: years by the time these came around. It's a long
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 10: time and they their closest relative would be things that
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 10: are cephalopods like squid, octopus. Their whole order family genus,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 10: it's all extinct. None of these are are around anymore
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 10: or even close to it. They grew up to about
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 10: seven feet long. They had extreme sexual dimorphism. A male
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 10: was only about a third of the size as a female,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 10: and they were They hung out in the middle of
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 10: the water column. They ate plankton, and those little like
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 10: fissures that you're seeing, those are called sutures on there,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 10: and that is how they would regulate the gas in
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 10: their body. This to imagine imagine a squid. Take a
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 10: squid right and then give it a long cone body
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 10: like five or six feet long. Yep, that's what a
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 10: vacuu light looked like. And then those little so that's
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 10: the body right there.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: This is like the shell of it. Juter tentacles fossilized
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 4: well well.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 10: Usually things that are soft don't fossilize very well. Mushrooms,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 10: for example, which would be similar in material to tentacles.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 10: I think there's been twelve in the world that have
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 10: been found of fossils. So no, the tentacles really really
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 10: poorly fossilized. This would be the hard shell of it.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 8: So my question, let's back up a little bit. When
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 8: you said you glass us up.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: Yep, I didn't know what it was, right, I mean,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: you found it in your noox.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 10: In my spotting scope.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: Were you looking for deer?
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 10: I was looking for deer, but looking most of my
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 10: deer hunts evolve.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: And that's why he's got that buck sit next to him,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: because he got that buck later that day. That's right.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 10: So I found this vacuu light in the morning, and
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 10: then that afternoon, only a few hundred yards away, I
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 10: killed this buck.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: So you're telling me you saw that through your scope.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what it was.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 10: I knew it was unnatural, like I was like that
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 10: that's something I was painted picture too. Is it like
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 10: in the middle of like just something. When I look
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 10: at that, I see how rock It was in some
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 10: bad landsy stuff that had a lot of like dead
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 10: grass on it. This was late in November and it
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 10: was just laying there. It actually had a couple other
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 10: smaller VACUU lights next to it. Steve, you mentioned that
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 10: you found some vacu lights before. Here's a smaller section.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: I found the sections. This.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 10: This I found him on Tana. This came from Wyoming.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 10: It's also a bad that's what I have these.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: My kids have found him too. Yeah. Can I tell
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: you a neat little story. Yeah. I know an old
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: timer that he's well into his eighties. He had one
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: of these sitting on a shelf in his house and
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what it was. And I said, dude,
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: what is that? And he said, I don't know, some
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: kind of fossil. And he had had it for I
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: mean decades. I gather because I never found anybody that
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: could tell me what that was. He doesn't know the
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: first thing about internet stuff. So I put it on Instagram.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, what is this? And within seconds I'm like,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: that's evaculate And so I go and I show them.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: We go into Google and type in vaculate and I
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: pulled all these pictures of them. Yeah, okay, And he's
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: pretty surprised by this whole revelation. It's very convinced that
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: that's what he's holding. Was very happy. A while later,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: he calls me and he says, what was the website
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: you were showing me the pictures. I was like, it's
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: called it's Google. Yeah, all right.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 10: Native Americans would find those lots, and they call them
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 10: buffalo stones because if you look at the bottom, you
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 10: could see like you're looking at the undercarriage of bison.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 10: I think the black Feet specific had some origin stories
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 10: about how they were good luck. There was a woman
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 10: who found one when they were in the middle of
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 10: a famine, and then the next day a whole herd
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 10: of bison showed up and it like really turned things
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 10: around for them. So back you light or buffalo calling stones.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 10: M I've heard that buffalo calling that's a buffalo calling stone.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: That does work. If you're applying for a buffalo tag.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 10: Well, it helped me kill this deer that afternoon.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: I stick one of those in with your application.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: Uh huh.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah. This is a cactus buck.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 9: No.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 10: Normally, white tails and mule deer will shed their velvet
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 10: in late August early September. It happens when the photo
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 10: period changes. Day start getting shorter, bucks elevate their testosterone
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 10: and then their velvet sheds. When that doesn't happen, it's
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 10: a cactus buck and it's kind of a catch all
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 10: term right. Cactus bucks can come in many forms, many
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 10: shapes and size. It could be an antler dough. It
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 10: could be a hermaphrodite that has man and female sex organs.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 10: It could be a buck that lived a normal life
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 10: as a buck, and then one day he messed up
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 10: his testicles, crossing a bar boy or fence, got hit
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 10: by a vehicle, was in a fight with another buck,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 10: and got stabbed in the nuts, and then that can
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 10: mess with their hormones and create a cactus buck.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 4: Or I was told you keep going with that list.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: I was liking that.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 10: Yes, okay, I can't think of any other examples.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: You know, I suppose you get right in the sack.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: You can take this leather. That's good as way.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 10: This buck, for example, though, was born this way. His
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 10: testicles had never dropped, and they were about the size
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 10: of a cashew.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 10: So when you went to gut him, was there a
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 10: sack or it was an empty coin purson?
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 4: What was like a full sized sack but empty.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 10: It was it was like absorbed up into the stumach.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 10: You could see like, okay, this is where his his
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 10: sack and testicles should be. And it was just like
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 10: a slight change in the topography.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: H there, Did you shoot him like you knew what
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: he was? And you shot him for that reason.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 10: I knew what he was. He was with a few
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 10: other bucks what he was because he was he wasn't
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 10: hardhorned right right? And we had seen other bucks that weekend.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 10: Do you know when you see them that time of
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 10: year that it's a cactus buck?
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 6: Did you see any other cactus bucks? And I feel
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 6: like we've talked about a lot of it, man Will.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 6: I have found like there's specific area that we hunt
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 6: and it's like we've seen so many of them, and
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 6: it's just it's bizarre.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 10: This idea gained traction after EHD. Twenty twelve was a
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 10: terrible year for EHD. Gotcha, and the worst years of
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 10: EHD are often when it's a wet season followed by
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 10: a dry season. Twenty eleven was super wet. Twenty twelve
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 10: was very dry for much of the country. That was
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 10: when I think biologists started to notice more. They're like, oh,
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 10: you can have some weird stuff that happens to deer
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 10: when they survive EHD. You see it with the hoofs
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 10: that get curled. Have you ever seen that.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 10: That that was an example.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: Not that hoof rock that's wreaking havoc in the Northwest.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 10: No, not that, And I think some folks, I don't
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 10: know that it's been proven, but they've they've come up
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 10: with the idea that if you have an area that
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 10: was hit by but hit bad by EHD, but you
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 10: have some deer that survive it, cactus bucks become more common.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 10: I shot this buck in twenty nineteen. I went through
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 10: a check station on the way home. They had told
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 10: me they checked about one hundred deer that day and
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 10: this was the second cactus buck. So for that area
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 10: it was about two percent of deer, but I think,
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 10: you know, it could be all the way up to
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 10: ten percent in some spots.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: I remember, I can't remember what some guys are telling
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: me about. One of those islands in Alaska and more
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: western Alaska that has the introduced Kimera field is a
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: fog Nak or Kodiak or one of those islands has
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: introduced you know, introduced blacktails. It's almost some area where
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: it's just like a pile of them running around. I
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: never found out if it was true or not, but
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: it's just like common in some spot like it introduced herd.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 10: Yep, that was one of my favorite days of hunting.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: Ever. I found this to either two of the three
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: things you like? Oh, what's the third?
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 4: Four?
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: What's the fourth? Where you like sports a little bit,
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: you like your wife, you like stones.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 4: And you like bucks.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: That's right? Yeah?
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 4: Are you with your wife that day?
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 9: No?
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: I wasn't. So you get two of the four things
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: he likes.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah, one of my favorite rocks and one of my
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 10: favorite bucks. Have you ever seen how they preserve the
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 10: velvet on a deer?
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: That was my next question.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 10: Yeah, they have like three ways. My understanding, that's going to.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: Live here in the studio for a while.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, for sure. If if we're good with it, we're
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 10: still decorating. We're still like three ways trivia mm hmm
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 10: about cactus bucks. One of them is freeze drying, which
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 10: I think has become more common.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: Hadn't heard that.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 10: Another one is they'll scrape the velvet off and then
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 10: they'll put an artificial velvet on. I don't like spraying,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 10: you know, insuly.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm composed of that.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 10: And then the third way, which is how this one
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 10: was done, is they have a chemical cocktail it's similar
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 10: to embalming fluid that they just inject all over.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: I'm familiar with that.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 10: That's that's how this one preserved it.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 4: It's hard to take care of.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah, cost me an extra fifty dollars from the taxi gervists.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: Man, well, we used we used to hunt caribou in
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: August when they had all that velvet. My god, is
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: that stuff getting nasty? Man? Like, you don't think of flies.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: It's all full of blood, so you go to grab
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: them and your hands get bloody. You don't think of
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: flies getting on antler. Yeah, they love it. So it's
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: just these fly ridden messes. And so I used to
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: think that something. I was gonna try to save one,
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: but you just can't. Yeah, and then it starts to
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: rot and it's falling off and it's nasty. But I
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: did want to get a big bunch of that velvet
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: and get it tanned and make like a bra for
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: my wife man lined with that antler velvet.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: Man, Uh huh, that's funny.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 4: This one was.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I wanted to do one out of like, Yeah,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: I always telling her about it. She's like, you just
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: don't understand.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 8: I just don't understand you wouldn't get it.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: She doesn't understand to get her like a fur of
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: velvet lined bra.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 4: Krin is that? Why is that not appealing?
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 9: I find it appealing?
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well Krinn, Yeah she also has animal part earings.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 9: I do it.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 4: See is like to be warmer and I'll get out.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it'd be real comfortable.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: She's like, it's just not a cold area, like your
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: fingers get cold, cold, cold cold.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 9: You can think about it as I mean, I wouldn't
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 9: think about it as whether it's insulating or not, but
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 9: more just like a texture, like what's what's comfortable to
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 9: the touch?
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 7: Sure?
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, she's thinking about it the wrong way.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 4: She's like, it's like lots of things.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: Like your cheeks get cold, your hands get cold.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 9: Lauer, you shouldn't move forward with it.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah that's great man. I like that.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: That's true. We got what are we going to kick out?
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 10: There's a lot of white space, there is this is
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 10: this like the.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 9: We're going to keep redecorating and we oh, we should
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 9: move our Warner Bratzler meat tenderizers. Put a little meat
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 9: eater cap on him, call him warrener b.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or he can go on one of the other
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: shelves in the new place.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 10: I'll point out this fossil is found on public land
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 10: and was on b l M and it's not against
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 10: the law. It's not against law. It's legal to collect
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 10: common invertebrates. And they specifically call out you know, they're
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 10: not very specific, but they say, like common invertebrates such
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 10: as mollusks, clams, things like that, this would be a
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 10: type of mollusk. They're very common. They' found around the world.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 10: So I kept it, and that's legal.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: I had a great exchange with Spencer one time. I
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: think I hit you up on an inReach device, okay,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: And I said we had found a huge block of
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: old seafloor. There was a clam bed, I remember, and
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: my daughter wanted me to pack it out. Yep, it's
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: still sitting there because this is about seventy pounds.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 4: It's quite a way is off the river.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 4: And I texted you about what are the rules.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: About it and what was the pounded you're allowed?
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 10: Well, so they get into specifics for petrified wood. It's like,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 10: I think it's twenty five pounds a day. Can't exceed
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 10: two hundred and fifty pounds in a year, and then
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 10: they have something like you can't take a piece that's
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 10: larger than X amount of pounds.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: I don't remember what that was.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 10: When it comes to the fossils, though, they just say
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 10: you cannot collect to trade, barter or sell, and you
• 1:29:56

  Speaker 7: It's uncomfortable as crap. If you can't see it now.
• 1:31:00

• 1:31:27
  Speaker 11: it was my grandpa's birthday and my dad got that
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 11: for my grandpa for his birthday.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 7: Well, not this hat.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 11: Sorry, he got a different hat for his birthday, and
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 11: my Grandpa hated it, and so he took the hat
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 11: that my dad gave him, put it on the shelf,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 11: went out, took my dad's credit card, bought this hat,
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 11: which was more expensive, and didn't tell my dad about it.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 11: And then he was just walking around with his hat,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 11: and my Dad's like, hey, what happened to this hat?
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 11: And Grandpa didn't say anything about it. And then my
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 11: dad's birthday came around next month and the hat that
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 11: my dad got my grandpa, my grandpa.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 7: Just gave it back to him.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 11: Sure, because he didn't like it as a present. Yeah,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 11: as a present and he found this at.
• 1:32:09

• 1:32:10
  Speaker 4: main outdoor mentors?
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Big time?
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: Was he prone to stealing people's credit cards?
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 7: I guess I don't know you do you wear that hat?
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 5: I do not know.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 11: This hat sits on, sits on the wall, sits on
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 11: the shelf, so keep sack.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, big time. But yeah, I think my I think
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 7: I was six.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 11: Uh, there's a photo of me my grandpa when we're
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 11: when I was six out pheasant hunting and he's wearing
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 11: this hat.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 7: Really yeah, it's pretty sweet.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 5: Think of all the adventures this hell oh, big time,

  Speaker 5: big time.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 7: But no, I was.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 11: Just just trying to think of something cool to bring
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 11: in and I was like, that's really cool to me
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 11: because without my grandpa, I don't think I would have
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 11: got involved in hunting. And then if I wouldn't have
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 11: gotten involved in hunting, I would never picked up a camera.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 11: And if I never would have picked up camera, I
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 11: wouldn't be here right now.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 9: So maybe we shouldn't put that on a shelf in
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 9: the studio. I feel like it's a little too precious for.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 8: Well, what's the how do you preserve something like that?
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: We're talking about the pistol. Only put some Scotch guard on.

• 1:33:18
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you know what man? You know how people
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 4: do that? Or they resin set it in the block.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: Man? If that I got real good, that's all I
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: would do. I'd have like stuff that I was like, damn,

• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: sunk into blocks, all your cool stuff.
• 1:33:42
