- 1:12montage ow Doug pretty much. I was gonna say something about that. I
- 1:18was like, that's a lot of Doug. Well, I lied to you
- 1:21all last time. I said I was gonna get on here and get a
- 1:23bunch of other things. But that has not happened. No, I literally
- 1:26woke up this one. I'm like, oh fuck, we're recording the night.
- 1:29Like that's how much prep I've done? Oh did it's? It's snuck
- 1:32up on me too. Hey, can we start to cheers to Larry?
- 1:36Yeah, my dad's birthday would be today. He'd be eighty three at Oh
- 1:41wow, you're up in the sky, you're down here with us. Actually,
- 1:45let me let me play one of those drops real quick, Larry drops
- 1:49You ever had that, you ever had a shot top? Yeah? There
- 1:53it is there it is, Larry. So uh, let me let me
- 1:57just want I'll talk that's after we had a few shocked ups. So I
- 2:04don't remember how I would get those recordings. I mean some of them were
- 2:07my voicemail, Like my mom would call like, oh, just talk to
- 2:09you. The shockop one. I think we were you had your dad on
- 2:13the show. We had called and off shows that. Yeah, yeah,
- 2:15and you we prank them. Yeah, we'd just call your parents were laying
- 2:17in their bedroom. We'd call them and then randomness would ensue. I think
- 2:22we pranked Will's dad too a couple of times. That was the whole thing.
- 2:24We'd every show, we'd do a segment frank franking our parents. Yeah,
- 2:29all we got a little to do. We tried, Glenn, No,
- 2:31I wish we had little tunes courtesy of the turtle box. Yeah.
- 2:38By the way, I've been using the hell out of mine joined that.
- 2:40Yeah, that's been I have been using mine a lot too, Yeah,
- 2:44surprisingly a lot. Like you know, it's not like I didn't have bluetooth
- 2:46speakers before I did, but I found I have that Curt turtle box from
- 2:50everybody asked me, they're like, what is this. I'm like, it's
- 2:53turtle They're easy to you know. What we should do is work with them
- 2:55said every show where we get like a ten percent off code, yeah that
- 3:00we could like to know about. Some people get really worked for a week
- 3:02like yeah, I guess you have to listen to the show and a week
- 3:05then you don't get the code that sounds good. You know. The biggest
- 3:07thing for me is that when I built that boat, I intentionally did not
- 3:12put speakers and head unit and all this. I think it's just something else,
- 3:15like it's gonna constantly need maintenance and then you go bad and hit blow
- 3:19and you're rewiring them every five years. So I intended to them. The
- 3:22problem was all the Bluetooth speakers I had. I had some nice ones,
- 3:24some jab yells I had, you know, different ones. You couldn't hear
- 3:28them when you're under way. Turtle box and I just prop that thing up
- 3:30behind me and just let her rip. That turtle can sing. Well.
- 3:36I remember when I got my boat three or four years ago, the latest
- 3:38technology of the time wouldn't even have a console, just have a speaker.
- 3:42Yeah, and only a speaker, and you would Bluetooth and the beauty of
- 3:46the turk boxes you just take it with you. But yeah, you can
- 3:49take it with you off which is poor table. I'm getting ready go to
- 3:51the lake. I'm not gonna this weekend. We're going to the lake with
- 3:53the family and baby and on I I'm not gonna probably. I don't think
- 3:57I'm gonna take my boat because my dad I'll have his boat up there.
- 3:59But I'm taking my turtle box and that that turtlebox will go workout. Did
- 4:03you get the color you want it? All? Right? Why? Yeah?
- 4:06White? They I'm not cool. I'm not Paul Pucket, so I
- 4:11wasn't cool enough to get him to color match my boat, for one.
- 4:14But if I if I was named Pucket, I probably would have gotten.
- 4:15Well, they don't have cfoam, you got the color for Paul Pocket.
- 4:20They would spray painted that thing time. It had been a little mad amons
- 4:25hooked it up. I seen them laser etching. I'm on the on their
- 4:28Instagram feed. They can do someone, so I'm gonna look for someone.
- 4:30You too. It's not famous in a second that you have not heard the
- 4:33song. And we're gonna like go sentence by sentence on it all right,
- 4:40break it down, not let me look it up. We'll talk for a
- 4:42second. Towards the end of the sevement. I want to look it up
- 4:44and break it down. Okay, Okay, I'm now I'm intrigued. Um.
- 4:47But yeah, so it's been gone, pauh. Well you just got
- 4:49back and fishing on manga. Me still got that haircut, which is creeping
- 4:55me out. I mean, if I didn't know you and I saw you
- 4:58with that haircut, i'd think you it's going to like a midlife crisis or
- 5:00something. Well, but you know, I know you, so I know
- 5:04you're not. You don't. You don't have that problem. Pretty tough to
- 5:06ugly him up. It didn't ugly him up. I didn't say nothing like
- 5:10that. I just said, it just looks like a older man trying to
- 5:14play a young man's game with the first thing. I thought. But I
- 5:18was twenty four when I had a mohawk. With the mohawk, yeah that
- 5:21was amazing. Yeah, it was a long time ago. I'm trying to
- 5:26find I was a young man. I was allowed to rock a mohawk if
- 5:28I wanted to. S'm not a young man, and I'll tell the story
- 5:31for us. So we went down there. Uh yeah, Alex and I
- 5:34went down to fish with Nick Sassik, and we used to fish with Deny.
- 5:39You know, I've been down there a couple of times. Fish with
- 5:41Deny. He's the keys guy now, so fish with Sassik. And I
- 5:46had met Nick a few times when we were down there, were all hang
- 5:47out with him, so I was excited about hanging out with him on the
- 5:49boat. And he's a fun dude to fish with. We just literally brought
- 5:54the wind in the rain and the clouds when we went down there because they
- 5:57had been seen fish even we were down there meeting Garrett and Chance from Houston
- 6:01and they were fishing with Mangam. So of course the two days prior before
- 6:05we get there. You I mean, we're seeing fish man. It's awesome.
- 6:08We're jumping like at thirteen each yesterday and meet him for that's there and
- 6:14you want to hear that because that don't last long, don't hold. No,
- 6:18we were on the bad end of and I usually actually get pretty good
- 6:21luck with with weather when I go lately, and uh, we got and
- 6:28we're sitting there, you know, drinking peanut coladas, and we started looking
- 6:31at the man. It's like it ain't looking good for them. And of
- 6:34course fridays before that, oh it looks great. You know, and uh
- 6:40so that kind of fishing. The water's a little I wouldn't call it dirty,
- 6:44it's it's a it's a dark bottom, so it tricks you into thinking
- 6:47it's dirty. It's not really that dirty. In the light. If you
- 6:49don't have light, you're not seeing anything. We didn't have light, and
- 6:54it's one of those things where you know, Nick sets you up in the
- 6:57perfect spot where these fish bounce off. You know, he knows the tide,
- 7:00so at this tide they're gonna bounce off that spot. You can see
- 7:03the spot and right when they balanced, they're they're gonna pulse or they're gonna
- 7:08roll, so you're gonna see something, and sure enough you do. And
- 7:10there weren't a lot of fish swimming in the times that they'd roll or pulse
- 7:15or you know, push water. You see that, but then you can't
- 7:19track them, so you're you're just so you really have to be watching.
- 7:25You're whacking. Yeah, it's just like you throw a cast seventy feet at
- 7:30eleven o'clock, but that fish could be by then sixty feet at nine And
- 7:35it's just I had one bite in three days. So it was three days
- 7:40of that. The last day of course it kind of cleared up a little
- 7:42bit and then came back in on us. We did a couple of times
- 7:45where we went back in at nine in the morning, came back out of
- 7:47eleven chasing storms, and uh I had one eat and that Alex had one.
- 7:53You know, just kind of push at the fly where the fish just
- 7:56kind of missed it. You know what you should have done? Tell me
- 7:59Zara spoo on a bait, yes, Jimmy Houston on a paddle tails swim
- 8:05bait and what what that kind of trip? What that trip kind of does
- 8:09those It makes me pumped to get back here and just start getting back into
- 8:13red fishing and maybe maybe going to look at tarpan. But there's just nothing
- 8:16like tarpan fishing in the Keys and clear water. It's fun to do it
- 8:22here, but it's almost as much of a pain in the ass and frustrating
- 8:24as it is fun. Like the last time I had fun was the last
- 8:26time you and I did that four years ago and you hooked that fish,
- 8:30and I don't know, it can happen, Like we have friends that do
- 8:33it and that do make it happen, but it takes a lot of work
- 8:35and a lot of time on the water well, because what you're what you're
- 8:39dealing with here is very short, very specific windows of opportunity, and the
- 8:43only way you know when and where to be in those windows opportunity is to
- 8:48spend a lot of hours out there looking and finding this fish and patterning them
- 8:52out. Now, there's some places like where me and you fish like,
- 8:56I know that this time of year, on the right tide early in the
- 9:00morning. You know, you know, I go, there's a better than
- 9:03fifty fifty shot that I go there. There's gonna be tarping up in there.
- 9:05That seems to be. Now the reason behind in the signs of something.
- 9:09You learn the pattern and it's pretty consistent in that spot. But to
- 9:11get all that to line up to have like low wind, right tide,
- 9:16right time of day, right time of year, and you have like a
- 9:18three day window where all those things are like possible, and then it's like
- 9:22gone, and then those fish won't be in there. And I don't know,
- 9:24man, they catch them on Instagram all the time. Yeah, you
- 9:31don't see the cutting mullet and the big cord all that stuff. If that,
- 9:35if that fly had a heartbeat, you catch a little more. Yeah,
- 9:39like and the Keys game is not and it's not easy in the Keys.
- 9:41I mean that has its own challenge just tiny little flies, stubborn ass
- 9:45fish, but just even in the back country. But just see the role
- 9:48you know there gonna run that edge and whatever the islands and well for me,
- 9:52like I always when we fish out front, um, you know you
- 9:54set up on the green patches so you can see them or the sandy patches.
- 9:58But like I always put my b I try to put my boat over
- 10:01a dark bottom patch, so my shadow of the boat is over dark bottoms.
- 10:03They don't cheat it too well smart And then I didn't. I didn't
- 10:07create that. I was caught that by people who know what they're doing.
- 10:09But then I also I like to fish over a dark patch, like they
- 10:15eat better over dark bottom. So like it's that game though where like I
- 10:20see him come across the real bright stuff, and I have that if i'm
- 10:22if I get set up right, I have an alley where I can see
- 10:24them coming. But then right before they get to the boat, they go
- 10:28over a dark patch. Is like my perfect setup, so they kind of
- 10:31get relaxed when they're over that darker green. But the problem is seeing them
- 10:35real well, and like, because it's an accuracy game, you're trying to
- 10:39feed those fish all that dark spot, Yeah, which is tough because you
- 10:41never see him coming. You can't like, yeah, it's at least that
- 10:45way. I kind of know what line they were on. But a lot
- 10:46of times they get on the dark stuff and they'll turn forty five degrees or
- 10:48ninety degrees and then they start coming off the green and you're like, shit,
- 10:52that's not where you're supposed to be, and then like, but that
- 10:56is true. It's always a weird game. So that fish you when we
- 10:58were Roudini that you boated, we were on the huge sand flat. Yeah,
- 11:03and you could see him rolling them when they got within one hundred feet.
- 11:05You could actually track them and see them on that's sand. But they
- 11:07won't shudder over that dark the way they will on them white. Like you
- 11:11know, you can hear a noise or something like that. They're on that
- 11:15dark. They won't really shut her bait they're on the white. I mean,
- 11:18you're absolutely right, they will, like, yeah, they're just on
- 11:20edge. I don't think they like being over that. They're like exposed and
- 11:24they know that, whereas I think like they feel a little more kids,
- 11:26the reason why their backs are green, exact all of them. But and
- 11:30then you know, but yeah, it's a different game. I agree.
- 11:31Like one of our buddy James, he's obsessed with like trying to dial in
- 11:35the tarking game here, and good on him. And he's the type of
- 11:37human that will take that on and figure it out and make good on it.
- 11:41I'm good with like playing around with it and having a good time.
- 11:43But yeah, tarking fishing to me is the keys or you know, everglades,
- 11:48you know part. It's lucky we have them. It's fun to do.
- 11:52Yeah, but I have found on the lean on it. I don't
- 11:54have really the energy for it at the time or the time I got a
- 11:58one year old, man, I get like I get very few days.
- 12:01And happy birthday by the way, Oh yeah, yeah, that's right,
- 12:03one year old Sunday. It was funny because I hadn't seen her walking yet,
- 12:07so we walked and turned the corner and from far away I saw her
- 12:09walking and just that morning, piper and distinguished. The yellow was her new
- 12:15favorite color. Oh wow, So we saw a little Nora just walking around
- 12:18and yellow. She was walking with some confidence. So y'all had her birthday
- 12:22where emmon zos over there. Les, Yeah, man trash. She got
- 12:28her first days to cake, First Days to cake. It looked like it
- 12:31went well. Yeah, so she never had real sugar. I mean she's
- 12:33like fruit and stuff but not liked. And when we made her cake,
- 12:39like the cake it sulf didn't have a lot of sugar. But we made
- 12:43um the ic and we were at the store and my wife was like,
- 12:45she made her um for the other cake. She made the icing, but
- 12:48it's like nothing but sugar. It's just super sugar. She's like, let's
- 12:52get something different for Nora's cake. So we go to the store to like
- 12:56looking and we start looking at the low sugar and the keto friendly all that.
- 12:58It's like, you know that's actually done. How much sugar in it?
- 13:01And then I was like, what the fuck just I'm not doing this
- 13:03to my child, like it's your first brother. She after, yeah that
- 13:07adulterated, just pure cane process straight to the gave her one, got like
- 13:13some sprinkles and do like you see like a little she kind of pinched it
- 13:16like two fingers. Then she went with like four fingers. Then it was
- 13:20a fistful of it and then it was then it was just two hands in
- 13:24it and she was just literally rubbing it into her skin nature wanting something sweet.
- 13:31You can see her eyes. Yeah, but yeah, I mean it
- 13:35was like it fired her up. And then she was by the end of
- 13:37that night like I started raining on its. It's like storms blown around.
- 13:41Yeah. And by the end of the day like that, that afternoon she
- 13:43was button it, well not button a had dipper on. She was down
- 13:46to the dipper barefoot. Had just there's a AstroTurf little player which probably chose
- 13:52that spot, and she was just just strutting her I mean, just ripping
- 13:56one end to that AstroTurf to the other in the rain with just you can
- 14:00remember that, like, do you wish she could remember you being in that
- 14:03moment having your sugar for the first time, everyone just being like god,
- 14:07yeah, she was raging. It was awesome. But that's good stuff.
- 14:11Yeah, dude, she's good. She's good. Last night she kept us
- 14:13away, which she never does. She sleeps like twelve hours, not no
- 14:16problem. I don't know what was gonna She's teething or something, but would
- 14:20not would not tolerate her crib so and we don't go sleep. We don't
- 14:24sleep in the bed with her, but we didn't have choice. I was
- 14:26like, she would not go into that crib, so she slept in the
- 14:28bed between me and Joanne, so every swatted her. It's funny sometimes they'll
- 14:35just decide that tonight they're just not I have noticed a slight turn and some
- 14:41of the bad trends I saw, like for a while back with kids,
- 14:45so living in wagging or terrace, I'm starting to see groups of kids riding
- 14:50around bicycles again. Oh yeah, a playing games out in the middle.
- 14:54It's awesome until until you get held up at gum one. But I mean
- 15:03remember back in the day that was all Yeah, we weren't allowed inside.
- 15:05Basically, your parents did not allow you to be inside. No, they'll
- 15:09hit you out of here. Go do something. My grandma, Yeah,

- 21:04bunch of country music and cliches in a row there, sire, I just
- 21:12saw a dolphin. Oh the Bobs City. If there's a bucking beer on
- 21:23that air kill it? Planning to jammer? So that sounds like a morning

- 21:37a sound like I mean it would be fine. Good morning Charleston, everybody.
- 21:45If you go, it's Brent Sabez his name saba on whatever you Brent.

- 21:55of those other ones, like Lakeside Charleston. It's really lakeside Carolina girl.
- 22:00I suggest you go check out the lake side of it. Okay, I'm
- 22:03not going to do that now. So he's trying to hit all those lot
- 22:07to do seconds. I want you to hear this song. I want you
- 22:12to hear the line about his dog and on, and then we'll cut it
- 22:17on a bone. He's doing all the country. Let's do listen to the
- 22:22dog in the bones. The weirdest line. By the way, that guy
- 22:26looks like someone. Hey, if you're gonna put your stuff out there,
- 22:32you have to take the criticism. Criticis well. I can promise you folks
- 22:36though, that nothing in that video or that guy represents Charleston. But I
- 22:40hope for her stakes in the three people out there liking well, all those
- 22:45all those people that enjoy that ship. It's not already had video probably like
- 22:51it. Oh my god, he's not a jet ska starting on a jet
- 22:56skin. It starts? Is that? How brand? That's the same fun
- 23:00need I need silences first thirty seconds, then we're gonna cut You're asking a

- 23:57he's getting yeah, out of the jack, it was a blacker. He
- 24:02just changed cars mid scenes shift. Well, he probably ran out of money
- 24:06for that. Nobody's gonna notice that your car. My dog's got a new
- 24:10bone, chewing all night? Yeah for something? Okay, maybe that's code
- 24:17for something. How about the whole idea that the song, the song starts
- 24:21out with got money, safe deposit safe that before I shouldn't direct deposit,
- 24:26saved money, it's in the safe Yeah. Like if he was trying to
- 24:30say I just got paid, he should be talking about a direct deposit and
- 24:33not safe a safe deposit. Who has a safe guy for the twenties and
- 24:41we just stacking jewels in our saul a dirty napkin from wait, someone talking
- 24:52about his dog chewing this bone all night, having his dog having code for
- 24:56some something like sexual. So he he nails down. I've got money for
- 25:00the weekend. I'm cruising in on my jeep tires, thirty inch tires.
- 25:07Let's talk about how much money you need for the weekend. So they're little
- 25:10late, So how much money they've already spent the money to get well,
- 25:12you need you need beer. But hopefully you've shown that launched fee. I
- 25:18mean it looked like they were gonna be camping and they're they're thirty inch jeeps.
- 25:21You're gonna watch the video to find out. Yeah, I guess I
- 25:23gotta so they wouldn't need a lot, you know, A right, he's
- 25:26gonna see this micro pulse in his in his views from twelve people to listen
- 25:33to this. How many white T shirts is that? Oh? He's like,
- 25:34he's a big white T shirt guy. I love how he's like,
- 25:38oh, just like y'all can't. It's it's like, have you ever gone
- 25:42on the beach by yourself? I thought about Charleston's been like it's called me
- 25:48from the beach. Just do the I don't think I haven't listened to I
- 25:52don't watch. I don't want to be too hard on him because he was
- 25:56probably sitting in his room putting these things together, G A, E,
- 26:00C, three four chords and he's like, I got something. So I
- 26:07peeled some onion strip onion layers or so. That Charleston song was written by
- 26:12a couple other guys, and he's really excited to be part of the project.
- 26:17Didn't it sounds like someone's eight year old Nice was like, this is
- 26:26what I love about Charles. The whole thing amazes me. See romes with
- 26:33battery. I think we should do something with that. So Ben Young So
- 26:37that popped up as an advertisement on his Instagram. Oh my god, that
- 26:42was that was a lot. Man was like, Paul you yeah, I
- 26:47don't know what you did. We hear another one. I think that guy,
- 26:51it's kind of in my head now, Charleston, I love you.
- 26:55So it was playing when you got done, and then it just stopped.
- 26:57I don't know, not like I love these house. We have technical difficulties
- 27:06again. The hope I heard something pop that was probably probably not good.
- 27:14That was Brent, he's outside cutting the main line. We got it back
- 27:23justin calling me anyway, so good check out and ran Lakeside. Yeah,
- 27:33I already forgot his name. I'm good. Should we have him here to
- 27:37the podcast to play some too, No, No, I can't feeling he
- 27:42won't come after unless he wants to. Maybe his live performance is a whole
- 27:48never story. Mike knows a reconstructive serve. I guess he's one of those
- 27:52guys that plays down at Bred's a lot um. He sounds like a guy
- 27:57that plays at Reds. Yeah, um no, I mean, what am
- 28:00I gonna say? I don't. I can't play a guitar. I can't.
- 28:03Last time I caught a live show at Reds, it's before I moved
- 28:07here. I like, I thought I was gonna be going to Reds all
- 28:10the time. Yeah, and you realize that I moved here. I'm like,
- 28:12no time. I like it like an nostalgic once a year thing.
- 28:17I like going there at like if I'm gonna go there, Yeah, when
- 28:21it's not too hot out springfall. Buy boat in the middle of the week
- 28:23for lunch on Wednesday at eleven, I have a beer, a bucket of
- 28:29beers. That's your thing. You can drink there. I'm bucket of beers.
- 28:33Watch it sweat and get water all over there. And honestly, even
- 28:37that, even that being said, if I'm gonna shim creek, I'm more
- 28:40like to go to the Cabana bar across the creek and sit at the Cabana
- 28:42Bar than I have to. You know, what's that called. It's the
- 28:45water's edge. But I'm more likely to sit over there and that place.
- 28:51If you catch the flounders, you take it in there fifteen bucks. They'll
- 28:53fry it up for you and bring it back out with like fries and ship.
- 28:56You know, I'll do that for ten ship with your finder. Huh
- 29:02you eat ship with your finder, eat ship with my flounder. Yeah,
- 29:04you go a little fried up and ship and give you servance with your food.
- 29:07I mean, to be fair, you could probably dip a finder and
- 29:10ship and I'd eat it. I mean, I ain't bound a flounder.
- 29:15I wouldn't eat yet I tell you about it all the time. I'm like,
- 29:18I'm a big catch and release guy. I don't not because I have
- 29:22some moral code. I don't think redfish tastes good. But there we should
- 29:26put Paul in a tight white T shirt and don't film a video on the
- 29:29beach. We mean we'd have to bry a truck and white T shirts there
- 29:33to get through the video because it swept through one person. Is that a
- 29:37great T shirt? Nipples just showing through the wet T shirt on the that's
- 29:45actually that's the video. Just let Paul walk around, keep the same shirt
- 29:52on the whole time. We film it in like the middle of the day
- 29:53when it's one hundred and twenty degrees, and then by the end of the
- 29:56video, Paul beach. But you know what I will say, drench.
- 30:00Let me let me try something out. What is the bridge of that song?
- 30:06Can you say it? I don't think there is a bridge ship well,
- 30:10you know the main like line like Arthur I saw it. I'm sorry,
- 30:15I think it's the from the beaches to the batter So it did stick
- 30:22in your head, Okay, so I've listened like it is stuck from the
- 30:27beaches to the bad The only bridge I hadn't heard in that song was the
- 30:32Arthur Robin l bridge, which is like what is so? What is it
- 30:34the bridge in a song? It's usually just a way to change up.
- 30:40That's always three quarters through the song, Okay, a way to change up
- 30:42that pattern of chorus and verse, verse and chorus, Yeah, just to
- 30:47kind of give you, like a little break from it. And it goes
- 30:48usually goes like every Tom Petty song is like verse chorus, verse, chorus,
- 30:56repeat, chorus, bridge, chorus and end. Oh my god,
- 30:59damn guarantee you Tom Betty could do a better job. But even with the
- 31:07formulae, Yep, that's amazing. Absolutely well should we? Uh? Should
- 31:11we? Just that was fun. That's a good thirty minute segment right there.
- 31:15Yeah, I can't move. Wasted half that segment on that song.
- 31:18Yeah, but he loved it. I'm still thinking about it, y'all.
- 31:22Are both gonna go look it up? No, you have to watch lake
- 31:26Side. I'll promise you this. I'll never see that man's face voluntarily again.
- 31:33I'm gonna send you lake Side later here. I know you will.
- 31:36We can get Carter and those guys to cover that song. They probably would.
- 31:41They probably would do it. That'd be hilarous, that's true. We
- 31:44wouldn't saw Carter and yeah, poorhouse and then it was fun, amazing.
- 31:49I've never seen more. Just twenty two year old blondes. I know,
- 31:53I know. I texted Carter. I'm like, well, you've got the
- 31:56whole like good looking, like post college crowd things, the age thing.
- 32:01Yeah, that's a good thing. Yeah, I mean, I mean I
- 32:06guess when I would see Panic. Yeah, it's kind of like they still
- 32:09kind of have that young push where you go to Dead and it's like,
- 32:13did you say, what do you say? A young push? Yeah,
- 32:16bush push Bush Bush bush push. Those are the kids that like think the
- 32:22jam bands are still cool and then they find out. Yeah. I went
- 32:27to that Panic show lasted one set. I was like, I can't do
- 32:30this. I've gotten Jeremy that's twenty one over here making sure everyone knows he's
- 32:34on mushrooms, and then he knows fucking chili water. I get it.
- 32:37I like chili water too, But I'm not over here like the whole doing
- 32:40a thing for you. The whole front road is getting stung by bees,
- 32:44like it's just a whole thing. And then you got section one twenty one.
- 32:47They're all on their own little island. Yeah, you know, all
- 32:53right, you see about getting that's the name of our band. Yeah,
- 33:01they look like they're either swat and I'll swarm them, damn wasp off of
- 33:05them in the front road of them. So some people, some people have
- 33:09been the bridge that they remember it. Oh god, but they've some people
- 33:21have been posting some videos of people at like the Last Grateful Dead show.
- 33:25Yeah, Dead and Friends. I've been saying aisles and just like zombies,
- 33:31Like it's just for them. It's just the reason they don't care. It's
- 33:36not even about the music. It's about them being in a place where they
- 33:38can just exhibitionism a little bit, you know, like, yeah, I
- 33:44don't get it. Teach his own Hey man, yeah, do you teach
- 33:47his own? T wait to each to I think out there trying to get
- 33:52that door. I don't think it's her when w didn't he come to the
- 33:53window. He told him let me know when he got here. He has
- 33:57okay, cool yet so I don't think. So I get people that knock
- 34:00thems win all the time, thinking that I'm the one that's select them in
- 34:04and I usually have another actual but today some people do that in Actually we're
- 34:07coming to see some prints, but it happens a lot, and I'm like
- 34:10sitting there painting, and I've got the point where I'm like, I can't
- 34:14let everyone in the fricking door. Man. You know what you ought to
- 34:15do. You ought to put a sign on the window that says, go
- 34:19to the door and knock in code. Yeah, someone will come. What's
- 34:27the code? Well, this is what it's like. I know it's got
- 34:29lots of offices. It doesn't have like a general public entrance. A.

- 38:25Probably did it did? That's what it said this you're going against traffic.
- 38:30Yeah, I went the right way for sure. I remember when I
- 38:35first moved here, when like me and you went fishing for tarp and um,
- 38:38and we fished out of North, out of step we fished a Rockville
- 38:42ye with your dad. Yeah, with my dad, And I remember having
- 38:45to go out there, and the first time I ever been to Rockville,
- 38:46and I was like, where the car we go? Like, I mean,
- 38:50and back those days, like it was even seemed him further because town
- 38:52ended like, yeah, a lot shorter than it doesn't. Town Center was
- 38:57like a pilgrimage. But yeah, so like everything was like more condensed.
- 39:00So I just remember his driving like, man, we're on the end of
- 39:01the earth. Now. I'm like, you know, it's not a big
- 39:04deal. Yeah, I'll run out there. Yeah, that's probably didn't have
- 39:07to get that far away from people yet. But you were just like being
- 39:08progressive back then, and we're not too far down there. We're kind of
- 39:13like right, you got over the bridge at Church Creek and we're really right
- 39:16there on the left, right there, Okay, yeah, not far down
- 39:22That is nice. Yeah, because yeah, because one moment goes on,
- 39:24it goes out there and there's lots of little hiding places back in there.
- 39:28He's one of the first people I fished with. Yeah, it was he
- 39:31was. I. I've told the story a lot of people, But I
- 39:35came to Charleston and I worked at the Angler, and I got moved in
- 39:38here like I came. I moved to towns. Let's give us two thousand
- 39:42and five. And so I get here, my stuff still in boxes.
- 39:45I had to go to work the first day. My first day at work,
- 39:49Irwin comes in the back door and this is long haired Irwin and you're
- 39:52like nineteen. I was actually had a little bit left. I would have
- 39:57been I would have been funny enough where I could early pull it off.
- 40:00I would have been twenty years old. Yeah, twenty years old. And
- 40:02you're in you're fresh off the mountains or I've been here a while, ums
- 40:07like ninety nine. So I'm just trying to say, no, you're good,
- 40:09Well you go. I came straight on the mountains, and I've been
- 40:13working fly shops in the mountains. But like I'm now in a tackle shop,
- 40:15right, like a real tackle shop with bait and ship that I don't
- 40:19have any idea what. I don't know what any of the stuff is.
- 40:21Do you have a hues man? Yeah? Yeah, yeah. But he
- 40:23comes walking to the back door with two kobe that he caught like that morning.
- 40:27I've never seen a kovie, so you're always doing the kobe just come
- 40:30rolling in. He's like, hey, it was good at there. And
- 40:31then so like we started talking and he's like, oh, you know he's
- 40:34from Charlotte, from Morganton. And we're like, yeah, talking people we
- 40:37knew mutually and all that stuff. And then he's like, yeah, we
- 40:39go time with switch numbers, this flip phone days And I was like,
- 40:43yeah, people say that every day, you know, every day in a
- 40:45tackle shop. Well, I go fish sometime that night, at like ten
- 40:47thirty at night. I'm sitting in my apartment. Hey, John, I
- 40:52don't remember, but you're gonna go fishing the morning. Yeah. And I
- 40:54was like yeah. So we were like my third day in Charleston was on
- 40:59his in the harbor looking for Jack's back before they disappeared. That's pretty quick
- 41:04like turnive events as far as like trying to like meet the right because I
- 41:07remember I did that when I lived out in Wyoming, in this far away
- 41:09land and the only thing you want to do is meet one of the guys
- 41:13that kind of befriend him. But that takes a why I didn't have anything
- 41:15to do it. He was just immediately drawn to Mike. Yeah, immediately
- 41:21immediately regretted it when he put a twelve weight and a kid from the Mountains
- 41:22hands and never cats in there. The six I couldn't even double like out
- 41:27there, like he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all good.
- 41:29Why don't you go stand up there with this now? He just handed
- 41:30me a spinning rond we were gonna do, I mean, as you can
- 41:35as you can clearly look back on it now easily. But that was a
- 41:37pretty awesome thing to have happened to you that quick. Yeah, it was
- 41:40amazing. Yeah, I've always yeah, I always always appreciated that. But
- 41:44yeah, we were fast friends, that's for sure. Yeah. And now
- 41:46Earl, well, yeah, everybody called him Earl back in those days.
- 41:50He'd coming to work at the Angler and go take a nap upstairs on the
- 41:53couch, and yeah, I loved him. I always seem to be able
- 41:57to dodge the actual work portion of the day. We used to were you
- 42:00working in the shop people, Yeah, I worked in there, and if
- 42:04if somebody wanted to talk about fishing, I would emerge and the dog Yeah,
- 42:12okay, inventory dodger, like counting anything, I'm out, you know.
- 42:16I would sell some stuff, spool some line. I've actually got a
- 42:20lot of the old equipment from the Charleston Angler in my shop. I've got
- 42:23the old line winder, I've got the freezer. I inherited all that stuff.
- 42:30Uh. We used to joke because one we'd be in the shop and
- 42:31we'd be all leaning up on the stuff, like chatting, and Caroline,
- 42:35who owned the shop, had an office in the back corner, Yeah,
- 42:37and she'd come out and John would see her before we did somehow every time,
- 42:40and we'd hear a noise and we don't turn and look like hey Carolyn.
- 42:43She like, hey, can you guys do whatever whateverever? And we
- 42:45were yeah, yeah, we got it. We turned around and John was
- 42:47gone, like he was just like he had literally be like all right,
- 42:51it's really good at like making it like it was just it was like Batman
- 42:55fishing run. It's like the Batman, you know, straighten it up.
- 43:00Where they turned around like hey, and they turn around like I hate when
- 43:01he does. And then you'd like, she didn't disappear and I see a
- 43:05head come out from behind a clothing still here. So the opposite of that,
- 43:09the opposite of that. When I worked at the Fishhawk, Yeah,
- 43:13just James bie Gary would come around the corner and be like James Wild you
- 43:15use something to be like no, and Gary, we're just looking at him
- 43:22like all right, well, like it's just the complete opposite, like he
- 43:28just got away with it, those good looks on his uh funniness. Who
- 43:31else was in there, because those are some names in the Charleston community and
- 43:36then Charleston anglers, said Matt Perkinson. Work. He works at d n
- 43:40R. He's got a good job at DNR. Um he's been there forever.

- 45:01crap out of here. And his garage looks like the tackle store. I
- 45:04mean, it's just immaculate. It's amazing. Sure, she's like I need
- 45:07all this, just go through. Whatever you want, whatever you don't take,
- 45:08I'm gonna throw away. And I mean it was like, you know,
- 45:12like big super spreader, like deep dropping nets and like all this other
- 45:15ship. But so I didn't get Yeah, I got blessed with a little
- 45:17bit of that stuff. And I texted like I texted Greg and I'm like,
- 45:20hey, man, I'm not about your brothers stuff. Yeah, those
- 45:24guys a little bit later maybe, yeah, two thousand and twelve. Yeah,
- 45:29at the time I got here is when Cole was working there. Though.
- 45:34Of awesome fishing knowledge, well yeah, I mean it was good.
- 45:37I mean they brought me I didn't know, Like I said, I knew
- 45:38fly fishing, but mountain fly fishing and a little bit of bone fishing.
- 45:43I didn't know really anything else. And these guys like they I mean,
- 45:45I just sit back there with Avraman Jean just listen to them talk shit at
- 45:50five in the morning on Saturday mornings. And then John taking me fishing stuff
- 45:52like it brought me up to speed. But you you did, you had
- 45:54like a yeah you had if you were in the right attitude and asked the
- 46:00right questions, you could There was a good and Rob had this great feel.
- 46:05It had this big glass table in the middle yells in it, and
- 46:09I miss had a really good look to it. When they redid it and
- 46:13did all that, it was they kind of pushed. By the time I
- 46:15moved here, the flash was kind of all in that little didn't make any
- 46:19money I mean, because like you know, they like I fought with Caroline
- 46:22a lot to keep the the amount of tying stuff we had. But like
- 46:23when you look at a wall in a retail space, you know, the
- 46:27same space that a T shirt encompasses. Yeah, you can stuff that with
- 46:31as much fly time and material as you can, You're still not gonna make
- 46:34as much as what those T shirts will on that same square, you know
- 46:37what I'm saying from a dollars and since like if I fought for every square
- 46:40inch, I could get to hang another feather or another Oh you know about
- 46:44that right a little bit, but mainly mainly the retail side of us for
- 46:49sure. I mean, like in the amount of T shirts that that store
- 46:52would sell with that Charleston Ingram logo, Oh man, they were printing money.
- 46:55Yeah, that logo was everyone. Yeah, she still owns all that.
- 46:59She bought it back from the guy she sold it too, and so
- 47:00she's still making It. Wasn't that awful, like like a Windows icon.
- 47:05It was. It was a clip art from Windows, like the old old
- 47:09it was. It was like Windows ninety six or something. Yeah, it
- 47:13was like one is only five clip art and in uh the original owners it
- 47:17wasn't even there. It wasn't a Caroline did it. It was Rickon Hessing
- 47:22those boys when they owned it, and they went in just added a dot
- 47:24in there like where the tail was because the windows one didn't have a dot.
- 47:28And here we go in Charlotte, Caroline. I didn't know that I
- 47:36did. That's the story I was told. They might have adapted. Yeah,
- 47:43yeah, that's the story I was told by Caroline, But she didn't
- 47:45do it. Leather, what is that there? You'll get that? Nice,
- 47:50isn't it? It's nice? You gotta want some of these? He
- 47:52shaved it. We shaved his chest hairs for like a month and then so
- 47:58did you know? You got it? Out? West was a Colorado Montana,
- 48:01Montana sky Hebkin Lake West, Yellstone where we always go with the family,
- 48:07So where we just got back from. And you originally from North Carolina,
- 48:12so watch you here. It made you move from there to here with
- 48:15the idea of did you come here thinking were here? My dad was here,
- 48:21my dad and step mom and we had spent a ton of time here
- 48:23growing up, so you were familiar with it? Oh yeah, absolutely?
- 48:27Did you come here knowing that you were kind of wanting to put freshwater behind
- 48:30you and wanted to do the adventures of salt water to learn all these new
- 48:32things. Or I was in a spot where it was, um, I'd
- 48:37just say it was. It was definitely a goal, but it was I
- 48:39did not feel very achievable. I was about as broke as you could be.
- 48:45That's what happens when you live you could be. And I really really
- 48:50really needed a boat. Um and uh yeah, I ended up, you
- 48:53know, finally scrounging enough together. It took took a year and changed by
- 49:00that well Hughes bone Fisher and I thought I saw it the other day,
- 49:02but I'm not sure if it was it or not. Yeah, but it's
- 49:06still around. I got one now. That was like the first real flats
- 49:08boat ever fished on was your Hughes. And now I want a ninety five
- 49:12bone fisher that you know you've seen brought pictures of it. Um, maybe
- 49:15that's just all it was. It was definitely not our one's old ride it
- 49:21was. It was brick red and with a cream top originally now she's all
- 49:24sea foam. It was a It was a time where you know, I
- 49:28could have ended up anywhere. I think really well made you leave Montana just
- 49:31wouldn't just like you said, wouldn't make a lot of money out there home.
- 49:35Yeah, well, everything was good in Montana. So I had joined
- 49:37a buddy of mine and we were gonna go over and uh ski in New
- 49:42Zealand. That was our plan for the zeason, for the off season,
- 49:45that's what we wanted to do. We wanted to go to New Zealand.
- 49:49So we wandered down this way because it was off season up there, there
- 49:52wasn't anything to do to make any money. It was kind of in between.
- 49:57So we came down to work and we we landed in Boon, of
- 50:00all places, and we worked for a number of weeks, kind of got
- 50:06you know, the guy I was with it, you know, he had
- 50:07the right idea and the right goals and the right mindset. And then um,
- 50:13I woke up one morning and he was gone, and I was basically
- 50:17stuck. All the money we saved up everything, So I kind of ended
- 50:22up just like stuck and stuck to North Carolina. Yeah okay, yeah,
- 50:27yeah, I was stuck there you go. And I had a Subaru,
- 50:30had like two gears left in it. I had traded a scout exactly like
- 50:37I had driven here tonight that I had then for that Subaru that I drove
- 50:44across the country, and that was all it was stuck, stuck yeah,
- 50:47yeah, So it was part of that part of the journey. You know.
- 50:52It was kind of like a time in my life for like I said,
- 50:53you know, I could have ended up here, but I really could
- 50:57ended up anywhere. Yeah, yeah, I really could end up anywhere.
- 51:00Or I was just kind of surviving. Yeah. Yeah, it's very cool.
- 51:05Well, and you got here. I know when I met you,
- 51:07you were still working to shop up. You were doing like countertry during the
- 51:10wintertime, and you had the Hughes at that point. But I think you've
- 51:14just had it a few years yep. Um taking a few people fishing that
- 51:17came into the store. That's kind of where where it started. But now
- 51:21ship man, you're I send people to you all the time. I'm like,
- 51:23look, you're not gonna build fish with John. I do that.
- 51:30Guys Like I'm not in touch anymore. And you know, I know a
- 51:32few names here and there. Of course, Yeah, he'll take care of
- 51:36you. He'll get you with somebody who's gonna take your fishing. Yeah.
- 51:37Right, And I think that I sent the end you know when I when
- 51:40I do. When somebody does come my way and maybe I can't take him,
- 51:44I don't send you a bunch of phone numbers. I'll call a few
- 51:47buddies and yeah, that's where you're staying, and try to help you legitimately
- 51:52rather than just stringing you down the line. There's a lot of people out
- 51:54there. I hudn't fish the harbor much lately, and wandered up there today
- 52:00from Wamala, and uh, you know, it's like, don't really I
- 52:06pull up like I've been out a lot going on. I've been without a
- 52:08boat for three years, rebuilding this hues and so I haven't fished much.
- 52:12But now I've gone, you know, I've got the boat up and running.
- 52:14We've been doing a lot of family stuff and stuff. Normally I used
- 52:16to go to the ramp and like inevitably, I had to talk to somebody
- 52:19in the fucking line. I'd see the GUIDs lined up and I'd be like,
- 52:22oh, that's show and so on a boat come by. I'm like,
- 52:24oh, there it goes such and such. I got down there.
- 52:27I can see guides, like I tell they had sports and they're guides.
- 52:29I know this, but I'm like, I don't know any of these people.
- 52:31I was like, I don't even know a face, Like yeah,
- 52:32I'm like I have no idea who that is. And that didn't used to
- 52:36be the case because it would used to be like you could drive down Charleston
- 52:37my first guy, ye and I'll be like I'd see a flats boat being
- 52:40towed. That was a rarity anyway, and I knew who it was.
- 52:44I knew where he liked fish, I knew, like, you know,
- 52:45because there's a there wasn't that many now it's it's a lot of different game.
- 52:50So when you started, there were a lot of the old school guys
- 52:52were still here, Like was Sandy still like running around like stir yeah,
- 52:57and like um yeah, I know, um yeah, Peter, Peter and
- 53:00I are pretty close in age, I think, Um, like on James
- 53:06Island, uh, you know, Chris Javis, there was a guy named
- 53:09Shannon Pitt, so I think Shannon and lives up in Wilmington. Now,
- 53:14um, it was h it was a handful of people, but it was
- 53:17a handful again. It's like if you went to the boat ramp on a
- 53:21Tuesday night and it was a six foot tide at seven pm, there were
- 53:24like two cars in the parking lot. Really, yeah, go anywhere you
- 53:31wanted, any spot you want. You could launch at Ali Palms on a
- 53:36Saturday afternoon with a perfect tide and imagine that cruise intercastal flats and pick which
- 53:40one you wanted to go. I get nervous just getting close to the boat
- 53:45ramp, wondering gonna have a park park Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 53:50Like we're gonna go Saturday morning, just take my daughter and wife just to
- 53:52go to Sandy Point. And I'm already nervous backing and there at eight thirty
- 53:54in the morning. Yeah, I do that when we do the beach thing
- 53:59with a family. I'm like, we later on a weekend, I'm like,
- 54:00or a holiday. I'm like, we're gonna be at the ramp of
- 54:04eight am. Yeah, because I'm not no questions. You know, I
- 54:07knew that, like we would have that conversation tonight about like what it was
- 54:13like. Yeah, yeah, And you know I think that I was thinking
- 54:16about that like on the way here, because I knew that it's inevitable would
- 54:20come up, and I think, you know, everything kind of like you
- 54:23end up adapting to it, you know. I bought another boat. I've
- 54:27got another boat coming now. Um, and you're just kind of changing,
- 54:30you know. I I fish Monday through Friday. Now I don't fish on
- 54:35Saturday or Sunday unless it's like a huge favor to a friend. And I
- 54:39really I don't fish those tides anymore the summer. I fish them September October.
- 54:46I kind of get the best times and get the best I like the
- 54:51sneaky tide, like that one that like it's supposed to be a tide,
- 54:53but like you start watching, you're like, and you'll see and it still
- 54:57be people out there, but it'll be the guys that you don't mind being
- 54:59out because those guys are also the guys watching. They're not looking at the
- 55:01tide log like they're watching conditions. And the thing is, I'm sorry,
- 55:05no, no, go ahead. I'm just gonna say. The thing is,
- 55:07I don't even think it's like a it's everywhere though you go anywhere is
- 55:13it you go to East Texas. It's like, I don't fish the weekends
- 55:15anymore. It's a cluster too much. It doesn't matter where you go anymore.
- 55:21Where it's Montana, it's Wyoming, it's California. People. We've just
- 55:24marketed fishing and fishing's fun and you can't blame people for loading the parking lot
- 55:30on a Saturday morning. Yeah, that's just how it is. Now.
- 55:32I helped create that. I try to check all. Yeah, promoting it,
- 55:38you're guiding, you know. Yeah, idea I did my movie.
- 55:43Yeah. I mean, like everybody at this table is guilty. I mean
- 55:46I was told I ruined fishing here. Yeah, we had a good little
- 55:52run. Yeah. The one thing I do, like, I guess kind
- 55:55of take hard in. But also I'm fascinated by is that Charleston to me
- 56:00is tough enough. And I've been blessed enough to fishing enough like different places
- 56:04that I really feel like Charleston is tough enough to where if you've got something,
- 56:09if you're you're gonna make it here, you're gonna have to figure it.
- 56:13It's gonna weed at it's gonna weed you out really quick, for sure,
- 56:15you know. I mean maybe that's not true, but depends on what
- 56:20you got behind. Yeah, if you got if you need it or not.
- 56:22Like in everyone's case, he was, I feel like if somebody hangs
- 56:24around here for two years, people out to Yeah, I mean it's so
- 56:30dramatic. Yeah, yeah, it's harder to figure out. Yeah, yeah,
- 56:34yeah. And I think our our fishery is great. Like I get
- 56:38calls from people that are thinking about starting or maybe gonna do it, and
- 56:44young people. How do you deal with that? And I, you know,
- 56:46I do. Um. You know, I've made suggestions to people like,
- 56:52hey, you know, if I was just like getting going right now
- 56:54and this is like what I knew I wanted to do, and I was
- 56:58really gonna dig into it, and I knew I was committed, I might
- 57:00think about like certain fisheries that are destination type fisheries. You know, we're
- 57:07we're we're we're a great fishery. Um. But I think, um,
- 57:09you know, a lot of our clientele is like everybody. Ninety five percent
- 57:15of the people that I take are people that I fished with before, and
- 57:17that's because they got a house here that they come to visit. It's a
- 57:21nice place to hang out, it's got good fishing, it's got phenomenal fishing
- 57:25at times. You know, Um, we always can you know, people
- 57:29are always like, oh God, they fished in Louisiana. Now they're coming
- 57:31here. They're gonna think it sucks. But the truth be told on that.
- 57:35Like when the fishing is great in Louisiana, like in November and December
- 57:38and January, the fishing is insane here. Yeah, that's like really good
- 57:44here too. Yeah. You know, you we've we've got our moments,
- 57:47we've got our seasons, and we've got the different stuff that you've got to
- 57:52do and adapting. You know. It's like I kind of you know,
- 57:55us thinking about the crowds and the way I fish now, and it's like,
- 58:00well, you know, I've had to a doubt and I was like,
- 58:02God, I wish I knew some of this stuff. Yeah, yeah,
- 58:07then, but that's part of the process. Probably also, get the
- 58:12weekend guy here for a wedding, Well, my windows tend to two on
- 58:15Friday, don't And I wouldn't have done that before I moved here. Like,
- 58:22it's just such a huge tide effect that yeah it is, you got
- 58:25it. Well, we can go out and try, but I mean it's
- 58:28a mid tide to rising to a mid tie. That's gonna be tough in
- 58:34the winter, you know, the high tide the winter. You can still
- 58:36find floaters, but I'm sure it's just a tough. That's why I couldn't
- 58:38be a fishing guide. I'm just I don't have that mentality to make sure
- 58:40that this guy has a good time. And if he doesn't, a lot
- 58:44of people can close the door and see you later. But I'd be like
- 58:46feeling guilty for the next five hours, you know. But I think,
- 58:50though, and I think something that Irwin excels at. I did a very
- 58:53tiny, tiny amount of gotten. But the thing I always thought I tried
- 58:57to tell myself because I was panic like that, because people paying y'all money,
- 59:00and like, I gotta catch fish, you know, I gotta do
- 59:00all things. But the thing that Irwin does so well, and I'm bragging
- 59:05on you, is the only thing you can control, is a fishing guy,
- 59:07is the environment on your skiff, right, Like that's the only thing
- 59:10you have total complete control, Like you, because no matter how good you
- 59:14are planning and tides in your knowledge base, sometimes fish are just fucking fishing.
- 59:19They don't want to play the game, right. But John is such
- 59:22like he's so easy going, you talk to anybody, it doesn't matter,
- 59:25and like you can't be on John's but more than five minutes and you're just
- 59:28laughing your ass off and you're making so that guy's gonna get off the bone.
- 59:30Black man. I had a good time. He didn't give like I
- 59:32don't think he would ever. I mean, yes, if you caught a
- 59:35lot of fish, great, And there are people that come in there are
- 59:37just wanting numbers and they want to click something and take the picture of the
- 59:39fish. I get that. But generally speaking, I think Irwin, just
- 59:43your personality disarms a lot of that. Like those dudes are like the fish
- 59:46and suck. But that was a lot of good. That was fun environment.
- 59:52So I mean do you feel that way? Do you feel like you
- 59:53try to really just like make sure that you're controlling everything you can to like,
- 59:58yeah, are you trying to create that or do is that just like
- 1:00:00natural for you? I think that, you know, the more I travel
- 1:00:04and the more I fish, and the more places I go, and we
- 1:00:07love fishing with guides like Carolina, and I'll always hire guides, and I
- 1:00:09like going with guides to other places. I know what I like, you
- 1:00:14know, I know, like that experience that I want to have. I
- 1:00:16mean I've been, uh, you know in places like Cuba where it's you
- 1:00:22know, the most fabulous tarpan fishing. You've ever had and not touched the
- 1:00:25fish for a couple of days. Yeah, and then yeah, that time
- 1:00:34you spend with that guy, and um, you know that in your buddy,
- 1:00:38and you know just kind of you know, the funny thing about here
- 1:00:42too is I mean I get guys that I fish with sometimes for three days,
- 1:00:46two days. You know, it's originally these little short stints. You
- 1:00:50know, we go traveling to these great places. We got six days to
- 1:00:53make it happen. We get two good days, we get two ok days,
- 1:00:58we get two crappy days. And that's usually the kind of course of
- 1:01:00it, and even an exceptional fishery. So it's kind of got to be
- 1:01:05um, you know, it's got to be about the whole experience. You
- 1:01:07know, Like, uh, I was fishing with Reese Havens in Cuba and
- 1:01:12we had a terrible, bad, um horrible cold front. I mean it
- 1:01:16was blowing sixty miles an hour, it was hailing. It was in early
- 1:01:22late April, Um, yeah, late April. And then the next day
- 1:01:28it was obviously totally affected by that. And you know you've got all this
- 1:01:34these I got twelve people down there, and everybody's like no fish. You
- 1:01:39know, even day two, it was off. You know, I actually
- 1:01:43had a fish or refuse my fly down there, which I've never had happen
- 1:01:47before. Usually you put it in front of him. It's like where every
- 1:01:51tarp and one seas you're fly right. Um, So it's it's that part
- 1:01:55of that that part of the experience, even like you kind of got to
- 1:01:59keep your head in the game. You kind of gotta be like, all
- 1:02:01right, you know, we're going on day three and you know, you're
- 1:02:06with a bunch of people and everybody's paid a lot of money to be there.
- 1:02:09Some people know the game and some people had not been there before,
- 1:02:14did not know what to expect. So you know, it's that part of
- 1:02:17it's great too it but you know, being here, I think sometimes you
- 1:02:22know, you've got one guy for four hours one day, yeah, yeah,
- 1:02:25and you're trying to make it and you're trying to make an impression on
- 1:02:29a fishery where you know, if I had that guy for five days,
- 1:02:31you know, and I could you know, wiggle in and out and struggle
- 1:02:36and do well and do okay and struggle and do good. You know,
- 1:02:39Um, I feel like we don't quite have that opportunity sometimes all good A
- 1:02:44guy for five days, but it's pretty rare. Yeah, it's pretty rare,
- 1:02:47and that that is true. You go to a place like that and
- 1:02:49you see the progression of the fishery over five days, you can leave even
- 1:02:52if you had a good week or a bad week, you can at least
- 1:02:54get off the boat saying that was really cool and I love all the things
- 1:02:59we saw and all the things we did on but yeah, one day,
- 1:03:01that's that's a tough way to really get the impression to this person about this
- 1:03:06fishery. Yeah, that's a hard job. The other thing I wanted to
- 1:03:08ask John is what it's like, how much responsibility do you feel because you
- 1:03:12host trips back to other places? Yeah? So do you feel like a
- 1:03:15big responsibility for like eight people they were going to this you know, other
- 1:03:20fishery. They don't know you know it, but you know they can't tackle
- 1:03:24it the way you can. I mean, do you feel responsible because you're
- 1:03:28not with them every day? Right? Yeah? And you're like, well,
- 1:03:31the God's good, you know, like he's a new guy. M
- 1:03:36Yeah, stuff like that. I think, Um, but it again,
- 1:03:38you know, it kind of gets back to that experience and you start to
- 1:03:42hone in on places I'm kind of guilty of. I will go to a
- 1:03:45place and I'll have a great trip, and I'll be like where you are
- 1:03:47going there every year for the next fifty two years, we're gonna fish on
- 1:03:52the full moon. Yes, it's gonna be perfect every time. It's not.
- 1:03:59It doesn't know, it's not like that. Um. And you know,
- 1:04:02I've got a great group of travelers like um, it's probably a list
- 1:04:06of twenty five really good core people that I can pick up the phone and
- 1:04:12call and it's kind of in a little bit of a mode where I can
- 1:04:15I can mix it just right. Yeah, you start up. These guys,
- 1:04:19do not mesh. These guys will never fish together again. Yeah.
- 1:04:25Do you remember when you and I were in the Bahamas? Yes, and
- 1:04:28a couple of times. There was one of these times. I can't quite
- 1:04:30remember if you were on that plane or you were with me, but basically
- 1:04:34it broke down. We were getting over to the Andrews and where were we
- 1:04:38we had to fly and remember we saw one plane takeoff. Yeah, it
- 1:04:43was my boy, Odell, I think Odell who was the pilotio little name
- 1:04:47Tagg. Yeah, and we were we were getting ready to get in our
- 1:04:50plane to go and suddenly they can't flying back. Now that was me.
- 1:04:54I was in the plane. We saw your face in the window and you
- 1:04:57were late this You're like, I was like, what he leaves something important?
- 1:05:02They took off his name, couldn't make the trip and they had to
- 1:05:06like it too. He I was in the front seat, Um, Mike
- 1:05:11Abel Senior is like kind of caddy corner, so I could see him in
- 1:05:15the rear view mirror. A couple of guys from Wells Fargo, Dave McCallum,
- 1:05:19Robert Finjy good guys in there. It was. It was it was
- 1:05:24a can. We were packed in there tight. And that big deal thirty
- 1:05:27minute flight to Andrews from wherever, Grand Bahama. That's it. Yeah,
- 1:05:30And um man, that thing gets off the granite starts going who just the
- 1:05:38little alarm? Yeah, and it just did not sound right. And all
- 1:05:45of a sudden, my boy, O'Dell starts to peeling that thing. And
- 1:05:48the one thing I learned after that, unless you can get to a certain
- 1:05:53altitude, and I think this happens in Alaska, yea, you have got
- 1:05:56to get to a certain altitude to be able to turn. Yes, she
- 1:05:59didn't I mean we could we I think we barely made and Odell said,
- 1:06:05I think we could have made it. I was like, Odell, what
- 1:06:11happened? Man? And he goes, I think we could have made it?
- 1:06:14And it's like, but I didn't want a chance. Oh God,
- 1:06:18like Robert Vengi. That was because eyeballs were like, yeah, what was
- 1:06:24the issue? Like, what was the problem? What it was? It
- 1:06:28was an engine, I mean there were some heavy shods aust or something.
- 1:06:32It was. So I flew into Beminy with Bridger one time, which you
- 1:06:39know Bridger and so he was the piloting for a while and doing some ailing
- 1:06:42hopping stuff. So we booked a charter with him, became my family in
- 1:06:45and we go out and you know the private charters. You go to the
- 1:06:47like we're in Lauderdale, and you go in there and just walking the hangar
- 1:06:50and you know, plane sitting there and you load all your things like getting
- 1:06:54in a car in a garage, you know, and they wheel out and
- 1:06:56when we walk out, Bridger comes up in his short shorts and you know,
- 1:07:00big old grinning, giving me a hug, and I look over around
- 1:07:01his shoulder and there's a Bahamian under the plane. Just like whacking something.
- 1:07:08I mean's just clar c And I'm like every ridge was up with that because
- 1:07:12I don't worry about that, old boy. It's fine jug tape. Yeah,
- 1:07:16but yeah, it's uh. If you haven't if you don't have a
- 1:07:19sketchy flight story from flying around the Bahamas, you haven't done the Bahamas to
- 1:07:24go bone fishing yet. We definitely got a big old plane after that.
- 1:07:30Remember again, my favorite those king airs, the wing on top King air,
- 1:07:39Like, oh, that's that's a cush that's a cush. Ride the
- 1:07:42caravans those are nice too. We've had a little thirty minute running. Let's

- 1:09:50mom bump singing yeah, yeah, yeah, this is the way some Please
- 1:10:00stop, please stop, so ewins the first simeon b this guy. They're
- 1:10:08singing that horrible am song. I'll playing the song, don't know. We
- 1:10:14waste enough time on this guy. He made what he considers to be the
- 1:10:17new Charleston theme song, and it's just the worst. Really. He's just
- 1:10:20strung together every bad cliche from every like pop country song you've ever heard in
- 1:10:25your life and added like Charleston and there occasionally and it's for real. Oh,
- 1:10:29it's always for real. It's blasted on the out on the bait.
- 1:10:32It's awful, man, it's so bord. What's that? What's that island
- 1:10:38called out there out in the Harvard on Morris Island, Morrison Morris Island.
- 1:10:44Yeah, that is out there and probably jam to the video. But the
- 1:10:46stripper poles out there, I thought somebody might Bezuka you if you played some
- 1:10:53crap like that up in there, Missile across. It's rough man, you
- 1:11:00know, I mean, I guess I gotta give the guys some problems.
- 1:11:03They put himself out there. That takes a lot of guts, but he
- 1:11:05should just take himself right home back in and stop immediately. Oh, Philly,
- 1:11:13I don't I apparently, I don't know. He not. The Charleston
- 1:11:16thing was just I think Monkey Island riding round in boats with a really shitty
- 1:11:24charcootery board. It was tell, tell Paul, Monkey Island is realfort,
- 1:11:29right, Yeah, No, it's it's not there. Yeah, there's one
- 1:11:31of the pharmaceutical monkeys that live on island out there, a little that's a
- 1:11:36band name Monkey. That's where they got from the band name I'm gonna play
- 1:11:43calbell. I did get my current band name from this. When we started
- 1:11:45telling about Straight eighties Trade six, he was like, straight eighty, that's
- 1:11:47a band name. Dolphin, M you got any you got any good hospital
- 1:11:56stories because I think of it. I do. Actually I don't. I
- 1:11:59don't have. We got we got to talk about this one. So none
- 1:12:03of y'all. I've never mentioned house about work out. I'm never gonna,
- 1:12:05and I'm not gonna mention any names here, so you can keep your hip
- 1:12:09of worries to yourself. Nobody's gonna be able to identify hippos. So this
- 1:12:12fellow rolls in from one of our outline of ers uh. He's a schizophrenic,
- 1:12:16crackhead, alcoholic m who the police dropped off the trap. He's walking
- 1:12:23down the straight, drinking wine. Long story short, police drop him off.
- 1:12:26He's perfectly well, He's not fine, but there's nothing really wrong with
- 1:12:29him until he mentions that he's been falling a lot, and they scan his
- 1:12:31head and they find a little head blye. But nothing's gonna kill him,
- 1:12:33so don't get all sad for the man. But he probably who knows how
- 1:12:36long that thing's been in there? So they ship him to our hospital because
- 1:12:40we do neurosurgery there. We do brain surgery, so that neurosurgeons want to
- 1:12:43evaluate him at our hospital. So I get stuck with the crackhead alcoholics getsophrenic
- 1:12:47now heads literally crap. Yeah, well no it's not. It's it's an
- 1:12:50internal bleed, like if you thump your head hard enough, a blood vessel
- 1:12:54can burst in there and the lead kind of that you don't need to actually
- 1:12:56crash. But that's not part of the story that really matters. So,
- 1:13:00so schizophrenic can manifest in a lot of different ways. One of the ways
- 1:13:02that it can manifest outside of paranoia and that kind of thing is hyper sexuality.
- 1:13:08Right, so these folks just like are super inappropriate, like super just
- 1:13:14bad. So this guy think he's just he's just whipping it out and going
- 1:13:17at it on himself every time he gets a chance, particularly when any of
- 1:13:21my female nurses are in the room or around the room. He just whips
- 1:13:25it out and goes at it and talks nastiness to him. And that's hard.
- 1:13:29Yeah, part, So basically I spent my whole I spent my whole
- 1:13:33time running into this room telling this man to put his dick back in his
- 1:13:36pants, you know, and I and stopped talking to my nurse, went
- 1:13:42direction. He rolls. He rolls in at the end of my shift.
- 1:13:45Like so seven, six thirty seven afternoon. This goes on all night and
- 1:13:47nights that there's a guy there that nice, that he's they put a guy
- 1:13:50with him and they had to like fight him all night just keep digging his
- 1:13:54pants and quit doing crazy shit. So then so the next day the the
- 1:14:00nerd searching thing comes in bright and early. They look at the scans like,
- 1:14:02this is he's perfectly fine. This is stable. He looks old.
- 1:14:05We're not gonna do anything. Get him old. Is this guy sixty dude
- 1:14:10and something like that he had insurance? No, no, anyway, they're
- 1:14:15like it's stable question, good question. They're like, he's stable, get
- 1:14:17him out. So we're working on discharge. So it's by this point it's
- 1:14:20like eight am. We're trying to get him discharge and we'll give Now,
- 1:14:23when people discharge from us and they don't have a ride, we give him
- 1:14:26a free uber, Like we'll call an uber, pick you up, take
- 1:14:29you wherever they want. They get one free ride they can like in this
- 1:14:31case, North Charleston, wherever they live. This is a birthday party,
- 1:14:36right, So at this point, breakfast is brought, Breakfast is brought to
- 1:14:41this room, and we're in there and we're doing stuff and and I'm like,
- 1:14:44hey man, you're gonna go home day, so eat up, have
- 1:14:45your breakfast, pancakes and stuff. I'm like, I'm gonna be out here
- 1:14:47getting you stuff together. We'll get your ride when you're ready. Just give
- 1:14:49me an address. He had an address and I checked it on Google to
- 1:14:53make sure it's a real address. I don't want to send this guy,
- 1:14:55and because he's a little mental, make sure it matched up with what he
- 1:14:58said. I was like, all right, we'll get all sep. Then
- 1:15:00I turn around and he's pouring the maple syrup on himself and himself like he's
- 1:15:06laying in the bed. He's in a hospital bed and he's like got everything
- 1:15:10undressed, and my female nurse and Morgan is in the room, but she's
- 1:15:12got her back to him, and he's just moving it up with the maple
- 1:15:15syrup and just like just starts going at it, and Morgan just turned These
- 1:15:21are these are ICU nurses, Like, we don't get shook by much right,
- 1:15:26and Morgan's tough as nails. But she turns around, she looks at
- 1:15:28it, just stares at it and just looks up and all of our walls
- 1:15:30are glass. She just looks at me with this like what the fuck?
- 1:15:32Please help me? And so I come in there and he gets so mad
- 1:15:35at me for interrupting his party. Like as I come in the room,
- 1:15:40I'm like, hey, and he whips the sheets up over as a junk,
- 1:15:42you know, and then he starts yelling at me and this incoherently with
- 1:15:45it, and he's just shaking his hands at me and pointing at me,
- 1:15:46and they're just dripping with syrup. Well that's all I can, you know,
- 1:15:50like in someone's focus on something, I just focus on like syrup dripping
- 1:15:55off this man's hands. And then he forgets what he's yelling about as he's
- 1:15:57going one, two and he's just counting them with syrup. I'm like,
- 1:16:02did he eat the pancakes? I don't know that. I did not want
- 1:16:06syrup on me either, Like yeah, I thought of surrup on me?
- 1:16:09Is just I get called away even a little bit. Yes, it's with
- 1:16:13you all day long. I get called away at some point for how didn't
- 1:16:18get on. This guy had a more places than that. But so I
- 1:16:25get called away from Emerge. The call up on the floor, I go,
- 1:16:27I disappear for like thirty minutes. I come back. Apparently in that
- 1:16:30time he just gotten button eck and walked out in middle of the hall.
- 1:16:31Now I want you to picture this. It's a Sunday morning, and then
- 1:16:35I see you. I just excavated a young guy who's like did well by
- 1:16:39the way, it was a good, happy story. But his family ain't
- 1:16:41talked to him in three day's been on my ventilator and like dying, and
- 1:16:43now they're getting to see him the first time without minorize mouth. I got
- 1:16:45another family whose family, remember, is dying actively and they're all taking turns
- 1:16:48coming to say the last good byes. I mean, it's a serious place.
- 1:16:51And now there's a neked man covering syrup just walking out, and so
- 1:16:59we shove him in the room. We get some scrubs from the e ED
- 1:17:02or emerged department and like the paper, and so we put him on just
- 1:17:06pan paper is not a good tart. Yeah, over estimating how much I
- 1:17:14care about any of that. So we put him. We put him in
- 1:17:16pants hoping that'll help. And then like he we're telling me we get to
- 1:17:19ride all this stuff. Well, then it just starts escalating just a little
- 1:17:23bit more every time, and he starts talking nastier to my nurses, and
- 1:17:26so I go on down my look, man, you're not gonna talk to
- 1:17:28any girls like I'm the only guy on the unit. So I'm like,
- 1:17:30you're not talking to my girls like that. You cannot talk to them like
- 1:17:31that. It's fucking disgusting. We're getting your ride. Just hang out,
- 1:17:34shut up, eat your food, let me get your cab, and you
- 1:17:38can go home. You do whatever you want to go. And he looks
- 1:17:41at me dead night. Now this is like we're talking to your kid.
- 1:17:43I don't like I'm trying to be stern. I'm mean, I'm pissed off
- 1:17:45because he's annoying the shit out. I mean, he's taking my time away.
- 1:17:48And then he looks at me. Back when I used to have teeth,
- 1:17:50I used to whistle at him. We wee. Now I'm trying not
- 1:17:59to laugh sterically. I mean it was just horned up. Oh my god,
- 1:18:02I used to wat him. So so then that goes down, and
- 1:18:06then finally at some point he's digging through he's digging through his ship like getting
- 1:18:12rapers ride. And we didn't check his belong everything. I'm not I'm not
- 1:18:17the cops. So I had no reason to search this man. When he
- 1:18:19came in. He had a he had a lighter, papers, he had
- 1:18:23a lighter in his bag, and his one crack ladders like the ones in
- 1:18:26playing like six. So I look at once again. We have glass walls,
- 1:18:29and I see you all the walls of glass light. Oh he didn't
- 1:18:32know he had it, gug. I didn't search him. I'm not the
- 1:18:34cops. I don't search people's shit if I don't need to. But like,
- 1:18:38so I look at the room and this now, at this point,
- 1:18:40he's sitting on the edge of the bed and he's just waving a lighter at
- 1:18:42me with a lit and I'm like, he's s yeah. I'm like,
- 1:18:44he's gonna light himself or the room or something on fire. Because this guy's
- 1:18:46out of mind. I'm like, all right, yeah, I can't contain
- 1:18:49this man anymore. I didn't. But so I'm like, all right,
- 1:18:55I'm gonna go get this man. But before I could make it to him,
- 1:18:57he reaches in the bag and he pulls out a hat and it's with
- 1:19:00him garden hats, old ladies wear. It's like the straw, but it's
- 1:19:02floppy. Oh yeah, I got shoves them down on his head, and
- 1:19:05now he's in paper scrubs covered in syrup with a crack ladder and a floppy
- 1:19:11comes strolling out end of the Murray movie. Starts belting hymns like gospel hymns
- 1:19:16as loud as he can, but he's also infusing them with versus and explicatives
- 1:19:21that we're definitely not in the original version. I don't know if you know
- 1:19:24this, but amazing Grace apparently, yeah, apparently Amazing Grace ends with around
- 1:19:28with me. Really yeah. And so like he's he's just going off chain.
- 1:19:34I'm like, all right, I gotta go. We're going get you,
- 1:19:35grab your bag. We're gonna go outside. You can wait outside.
- 1:19:38We'll wait outside of the cab. So then I go over to the elevators.
- 1:19:41I'm taking down the back way, no, buddy, elevators, the
- 1:19:45big industrial ones, you know, because you're putting beds and suff in him,
- 1:19:46I hope. So so I get in. It's about the time I'm
- 1:19:48pushing the ground floor button and I realized that me a little, I probably
- 1:19:51shouldn't get an elevator along with this man. No Nike, he's sixty years
- 1:19:56old. He posed no physical threat to him. Let's just put it that
- 1:20:00that way. However, if the door opens on the first floor and there's
- 1:20:02a sixty year old man bleeding in the floor and I come dragging him out
- 1:20:05there like a ray Rice in a hotel, it's gonna got no witnesses,
- 1:20:13Yeah, exactly. But so I'm thinking all this in my head. I'm
- 1:20:15like, God, I'm like, he's fine, he's not violent. He's
- 1:20:16just creepy as shit, and he's only really like that to women. So
- 1:20:18I'm like whatever. So he comes in and it's a giant ass elevator and
- 1:20:23he stands like his shoulder is touching my shoulder, like he stands right up
- 1:20:29on me, and I'm like pushing the button on my old buddy, and
- 1:20:31I was like that, I'm like, hey, I'm gonna need you to
- 1:20:33move the fuck over. I was like, I'm I'm like, you make
- 1:20:38him like he's in my space. And yeah, so we get him outside
- 1:20:41and that was the end of it. But yeah, so I ten years
- 1:20:44as a nurse, a lot of a nice you. Not many things surprised
- 1:20:45me, but that man poured that maple syrup and started going to town him.
- 1:20:48So I was like, apparently I have not seen everything in nursing.
- 1:20:54Paul, next time we want to have a fly fishing podcast. Please don't
- 1:20:58ask me what's going on. I just want you next time you're in a
- 1:21:02hospital and you're you're dealing with your family, and I understand when people in
- 1:21:05the hospital, like, just understand that that that might not get there on
- 1:21:10time with your eyes or your fresh blanket. Oh, I'm gonna give you
- 1:21:13a hugle, Like, just remember that. Sometimes I'm dealing with a man
- 1:21:16jacking off of maple syrup in the other room. I'm just union between the
- 1:21:24paper scrubs and the maple syrup. He's probably still working that stuff off of
- 1:21:30those bodies. Hey man, we all we all sow seeds in life and
- 1:21:34we reap the harvest. That on the back of my calf. How was
- 1:21:39syrup on the back of my calf? You can go to International House Pancakes
- 1:21:44and you have syrup on some weird part of your body when you're deale with
- 1:21:46it, and look, I understand this man had mental issues, and I'm
- 1:21:48not mad at the man. It was just it was too much. It
- 1:21:50was chaos. I play a song for Old Time Stakes just for this segment.
- 1:21:55Those pancakes, that good man about that back pis stuff about what you
- 1:22:10so mad? Old school? That's s stuff. That's Jeff Heat his sister
- 1:22:23Tobin Heat's on the US and she's on two years. Yeah, she won
- 1:22:30two national or world titles. Yeah. I think there's twelve new players on
- 1:22:33the team, which push us. She's about that old. I guess she
- 1:22:36made us, but I think that's just a young person's sport though, Right,
- 1:22:42that was about ten years ago? Yeah, what's that? That was
- 1:22:44about ten years ago? That what she was on two twos on Sports Illustrated
- 1:22:47cover, remember like four years ago? Really, all right, so we're
- 1:22:51down with Mike's time. That was fun. That was fun. Pancakes.
- 1:22:55We still got John are one here, so we don't we do. We're
- 1:22:58gonna pester him already here. I want to hear some stuff about this new
- 1:23:01maybe it's not new, but this car restoration thing you're doing, because like,
- 1:23:05let's just call it six months. I don't know what it was,
- 1:23:06but you were working on that scout. Yeah, this is what I was
- 1:23:11like in the middle of kind of doing my van kind of mess. And
- 1:23:15I still haven't finished it. I haven't finished it. I feel guilty about
- 1:23:16it, but I'm actually when it cools off maybe a year from now.
- 1:23:21I caught the video the other day how you had this stuff organ messing around
- 1:23:25with it. Yeah. Yeah, he doesn't have enough T shirts to go
- 1:23:28out there and work on that thing right now. You know, it's like
- 1:23:30a four T shirt between six and ten pm. That's four shirts. Yeah.
- 1:23:35But so I was like, yeah, that and now you got this
- 1:23:40wagon ear, which is like my childhood Like, yeah, A lot of
- 1:23:44people reminisced on the wagon ear a lot. So is this something you've always
- 1:23:47kind of done a little bit of or is it just kind of a recent
- 1:23:49thing. Well, I had a brief stint as a tow truck driver,
- 1:23:54so I had immersed. Okay, really, you've seen a car up closer
- 1:23:59too. I've seen a car close for sure. So but the scout um,
- 1:24:03you know, I was I was shopping for a car like that and
- 1:24:08I kind of was looking around and I told Caroline the story about the old
- 1:24:12scout, you know, and she's sail for the two gear. Yeah,
- 1:24:15yea, so it was a Scout or nothing. I bought a Scout in
- 1:24:18Belgrade, Montana. I mean the damn thing did not have a scratch on
- 1:24:23It had that rust and kind of the typical Belgrade. I had a friend
- 1:24:26who bought a dog there. Yeah, yeah, all original interior. I
- 1:24:30paid five hundred dollars for Oh wow. I drove that car for seven years
- 1:24:34back in Minnesota. I drove it to Canada. It was good to go.
- 1:24:41I drove it to Las Vegas. It's amazing the dead shows. I
- 1:24:44mean, so what year was that? No, what year was the car?
- 1:24:47So that car was a seventy three and then I bought it in nineteen
- 1:24:51ninety three, about twenty years old at the time, which today that's like
- 1:24:57getting a four, which isn't that crazy. So my buddy knew I knew
- 1:25:02I was looking for a Scout and he saw this one on Instagram and he
- 1:25:09said, I've kind of watched the guys um, you know, progress through
- 1:25:14it and he looks like he knew what he was doing. And it looks
- 1:25:16like it's in pretty decent shape. And it was one of those ones that
- 1:25:19comes across it's like, what do you think it's worth? That's a hard
- 1:25:27like you know, somebody knows what it's worth, kind of puts the price
- 1:25:30out there, and after working on it, I kind of I've paid a
- 1:25:32couple of thousand bucks too much for it. But I threw the guy a
- 1:25:36number and he went, I'll take it. But when you when you get
- 1:25:42that answer there, you immediately sit shit. I could I could have set
- 1:25:45this few bucks there, especially in this day and age of these venage broncos
- 1:25:48and these vintages this they know that there worth so much worthan they really should
- 1:25:51be right right now at least. Yeah, I think you got to watch
- 1:25:56for the polished turd. There's a lot of like really nice cars that cost
- 1:26:00a lot of money that are not that nice. So I kind of knew
- 1:26:03I was getting into a project. Um. I had a little bit of
- 1:26:08done a little bit of welding, not a ton, but I bought a
- 1:26:12brand new welder and I cut that thing. You figured it out. I
- 1:26:15figured it out, Yeah, that's all I was. That's a good skill
- 1:26:17to learn like that. Yeah. Yeah, So I was gonna send it
- 1:26:21to Iowa to anything scout. They it's the only kind of car that they
- 1:26:26work on UM and they were gonna UM so they were backed up this.
- 1:26:30He's like, listen, John, He's like the sheep Meldal departments backed up
- 1:26:33for two years. He's like, we won't even touch sheet metal on that
- 1:26:38thing for two years. He's like, that's that's what the deal is.
- 1:26:42And he goes, you buy the parts from me and I'll help you.
- 1:26:45I'll kind of help guide you through the process. And he was It was
- 1:26:49Sean. You know if you watch your podcast or any of their videos,
- 1:26:54I mean, they're there. They do an incredible stuff. So I did
- 1:26:57end up um. They did had a driveability conversion on it. So I
- 1:27:01did all the sheet metal work and I was kind of like, you got
- 1:27:05you crafted the Yeah, yeahah man, it's um. You know the truck
- 1:27:11is um. It need indeed, it could use a paint job, but
- 1:27:15I'm kind of happy like where it is, like the floors are rock solid.
- 1:27:18Yeah, And much like you've probably seen this stuff with a sprinter van
- 1:27:21as the lizard skin, it's like a ceramic coating that you spray dead ends
- 1:27:28that sound and then you can do like a thermal coating that will keep that
- 1:27:31temperature out so all the floors. I coated the floors. It's how long
- 1:27:36does that last? Well, it was the night this part and part of
- 1:27:41that, the night before it was supposed to be shipped to Iowa, to
- 1:27:45anything scout Um. I had to have everything complete, and Sean, you
- 1:27:50know, he's calling. He's like, this happens all the time. Man,
- 1:27:54He's like, is that thing ready to go? If we need that
- 1:27:57truck here? I'm like, it's ready, man, it's ready. So
- 1:28:00I spray all my metal. Everything's perfect. I got everything taped off.
- 1:28:04It's like twenty five degrees outside. I got kerosene heaters running to get the
- 1:28:09temperature up because I'm a spray and highly flamable. Oh yeah stuff. So
- 1:28:15I get all this coating on and it looks so beautiful and I go up
- 1:28:19to it and I put my finger nail on it, and I'm like,
- 1:28:21man, that stuff is not that durable. And I had read that it
- 1:28:26wasn't that durable. So it's like advanced auto closes at nine, it's like
- 1:28:31eight forty. I'm burning it off a wilmelaw. I go buy like a
- 1:28:38kid, a bedliner kid raptor. So I rappedor liner that night. I
- 1:28:44rappedor liner, the whole inside. You didn't sleep that night and it dried
- 1:28:48and this crazy Russian dude came and picked it up and took it out there.
- 1:28:53I know that Russian guy. He delivered a card to my house anyway,
- 1:28:58No English, zero English. Yeah, apparently they their full force in
- 1:29:02that. And yeah, so it gets to Iowa. Um the guys are
- 1:29:06like, you know, um, I keep calling up. I'm like,
- 1:29:10what are you thinking about? Trauma? Did on that good? Very good?
- 1:29:13And they're like, well, yeah, you want a little positive re
- 1:29:15enforcement? Yeah, so what you what were you having them do? So
- 1:29:20they man it gets there and they separate the body from the frame, They
- 1:29:27take everything out, every wire. Um, they pull the old engine,
- 1:29:31they powder coat the frame. Wow, um, brand new Chevy. So
- 1:29:36it looks you did that. Yeah you an hour nine twenty six. I
- 1:29:44mean it rips LS is a Corvette engine by the way, So the outside
- 1:29:47looks like a little like rough, but on the inside it's like yeah steam
- 1:29:51yeah, and it's kind of that green and brown. The guys they're called
- 1:29:54it the Eddie. I got a buddy here, Phoenix automotive. He does
- 1:30:00um uh. The British, the land Rovers and he does laps. I
- 1:30:04talked to Mike. Yeah, Mike's a good dude, but he does the
- 1:30:08land Rovers. I don't think he's ever done much with Scouts, but he
- 1:30:10does LS swaps on land Rovers all the time. Who's the guy that does
- 1:30:13the Himalayas? Have you seen those things? Oh they're like three hundred thousand
- 1:30:16dollars? Or Mike Scott dam Charleston Prices. Oh yeah, I got guy
- 1:30:21and does incredible job. He's done work for me. But when I talked
- 1:30:25to Sean at Anything Scout and I was like, are you are you sure
- 1:30:29that's right to do a full LS swap? But I think then that being
- 1:30:32the only kind of car that they work on, I think they're very proficient
- 1:30:35with it and they know exactly what they're doing. So then I was cool,
- 1:30:41man, I was. I was so into the process and the guys
- 1:30:44and um, it's got like all new interior seats. Everyone looks amazing.
- 1:30:47Um, thank you, I'm gonna see in person. All yeah. Yeah.
- 1:30:50I flew out there and met everybody and walking around the shop and then
- 1:30:56you know they've got the ones in there. They had one that they were
- 1:30:59working on that they were senting to Australia that you know, these vehicles they're
- 1:31:02they're two hundred twenty five dollars. Yeah, and these things are unbelievable and
- 1:31:09just to see like that process and what they do. So I kind of
- 1:31:12wanted one. So now I've got a baseline and um, of course I
- 1:31:15got the grand Wagon here, but I'm I'm looking for another Scalt so I
- 1:31:20would love to do a full on my own restore. Yeah. So with
- 1:31:25the Wagoneer, you don't really have to do much to it. So the
- 1:31:28Waggoneer is ready to go. The kids, we're just driving around the farm
- 1:31:31right now. So it's got like, yeah, I'm driven a car in
- 1:31:33a long time that has an emblem on the front. Oh yeah, yeah,
- 1:31:39kind of seas with the Jeep retro thing of the wagon Eer, I
- 1:31:45thought they were going to kind of bring that vibe to it, kind of
- 1:31:47like forwarded it with the Bronco, right. I thought Jeep would bring kind
- 1:31:50of an old school field to the new I drove one with the kids in
- 1:31:56Montana. I almost just thought about driving into the game at car. Yeah
- 1:32:03yeah, and they start at seventy grand, like the Gallaton doesn't have a
- 1:32:06couple of cars, which is it the gallants the wall of cars and that's
- 1:32:13the big horn drive in. Yeah, but it's been fun. I love
- 1:32:18I love the old cars man, and it was it's pretty cool. Like
- 1:32:23a project like that. It took me almost two years. I probably had
- 1:32:26a figure. I have about two thousand hours you know, from working on
- 1:32:30the boat man. You get you get to that finish line and you put
- 1:32:32that key of that ignition and you turn that switch. I was I almost
- 1:32:38cried, man. I put that thing in the water and like first like
- 1:32:41she didn't take on any water. I'm like in the builds up like I
- 1:32:43was really like like at the boat ramp at a cross, like my feet
- 1:32:45sticking up out of the builds in the back. I'm like checking everything like
- 1:32:48okay, she's not leaking, that's good. Sink like sin yeah, turn
- 1:32:53the engine like okay, okay, okay. I got back her off like
- 1:32:57tied her up to the dock and then got in and started boating away.
- 1:32:59I'm like, we're under why. I was like by myself, I was
- 1:33:03like April, it's cold as shit, there's nobody on the river, and
- 1:33:04I was just like, whoa, this is happening. This is happening right
- 1:33:10now. I get that feeling when I when I build a guitar and plug
- 1:33:13it in and hit that g chord with a painting with a painting, it's
- 1:33:15what I do. So you do it and you kind of hand it off.
- 1:33:18It's didn't have that feeling of like building something, yeah, turning it
- 1:33:24and turning that key and turning it on and blasting that. What's the dichotomy
- 1:33:28too, Like when you do like your car or my boat, Like there's
- 1:33:31that moment where there's like panic. Like in my case, I started,
- 1:33:34I was like, I'm just gonna do a few things, and then like
- 1:33:36when I stopped taking things off of it, I had removed every bolt,
- 1:33:40nut, hose wire, I had gutted it. The only thing I didn't
- 1:33:44do was take the cap off, which I mean, I just didn't have
- 1:33:45the equivement to do that, or I probably would have popped the cap on
- 1:33:47the things you're saying. I know myself. I left a screw off somewhere,
- 1:33:50yeah, And I was just like, and I wasn't sitting there and
- 1:33:53I was like, what the fuck is this steak? And I was just
- 1:33:56I was looking at it, and I'm looking at the pile of shit around
- 1:33:59me, and I'm like, oh shit, Like I shouldn't have done that.
- 1:34:04I've sat many of knights of my bed and carolyzed it was like one
- 1:34:09and what I'm doing, and I'm like, and my wife saw it too,
- 1:34:11because we just spent this money on this thing, you know, and
- 1:34:13I'd sold my perfectly good boat to buy this one, and now it's in
- 1:34:15five billion pieces all over to my house. And Mike's how many sleepless nice
- 1:34:20did you just have sitting there? Oh? I laid there creating like parts.
- 1:34:24So I laid there every time I was in a project state. I'd
- 1:34:26laid there and went through it twenty times. By the time I actually laid
- 1:34:30my hands to do something, whether it was glasswork or whether it was wiring
- 1:34:33or whatever, I had gone through seventeen different iterations of how I wanted to
- 1:34:39do it. I'd gone through twelve different scenarios of what might happen if I
- 1:34:41did it this way that way. I'd watch nine thousand YouTube videos of how
- 1:34:44to do it, the fifteen different ways that you can do anything, and
- 1:34:46tell me about dissecting a YouTube video, like you were like, I know
- 1:34:50somebody didn't notice that but I saw that's where I picked up right there,
- 1:34:57That's where hey, can we as just a have an applause for YouTube?
- 1:35:01Oh my gosh, and even more even more the over watch those like I've
- 1:35:06watched a thousand van videos, Yeah, what makes that guy wake up to
- 1:35:11be like I'm gonna make a video about this today because I because they're so
- 1:35:15proud of figuring something out there, like you know what, I got to
- 1:35:16share this, you know what. I'm addicted to now attachment too because of
- 1:35:21all the YouTube videos I watch about boat restorations and like trying to glean when
- 1:35:25I could about fiberglass. A lot of the people that are doing heavy work
- 1:35:28on doing big projects are like guys sailors and they they got these sailboats and
- 1:35:31refit them all the time. And there's a bunch of really cool channels people
- 1:35:33refitting these boats. And like a lot of what I learned, like I
- 1:35:36had some local guy uh teach me stuff in person about fiberglass, but then
- 1:35:41a lot of little tricks and things I learned to make it look prettier and
- 1:35:44smoother were off these videos. But now even if I'm doing a project,
- 1:35:46I don't have touch fire with glass anymore. I still like watch like their
- 1:35:50weekly updates on like a boat project, like I have. I'm subscribed to
- 1:35:54like five sailing channels. I've never sailed a boat in my life. I
- 1:35:58have no desire to sail a boat. I mean it's cool and shit,
- 1:36:00but I like motors. But like, yeah, I'm like now addicted to
- 1:36:02the sailing. I've got a lot of the Nasty Welders subscript I've got along
- 1:36:12with it. It's just crazy that these people wake up then want to make
- 1:36:14a movie because as hard as some of them get paid for it, they
- 1:36:16go. They get a lot of money. But the problem is, like
- 1:36:19it's hard enough to do that project. I can't imagine trying to set up
- 1:36:21The first time I get the light to a piece of metal, you were
- 1:36:26like, oh, here we go. That I thought, like, what
- 1:36:30are these femes? Should I breathe? This barber glass is like the worst
- 1:36:36thing in the world, But it's also you should not. Yeah, you
- 1:36:41know what the worst part of doing all that shit is that, like I
- 1:36:43have less fear a good about thing. I have almost no fear with my
- 1:36:45boat at this point. I never really did with boats, but like now
- 1:36:48I'm like I fix that. Like, I don't know how. I don't
- 1:36:51fix that, Like if I were to like take a hunk out of the
- 1:36:54whole, as long as I didn't sink it, I'm like, I fix
- 1:36:56that. I know how to get it there and fix that. I mean,
- 1:36:59I don't want to mind you. I'm you know, but it is
- 1:37:01weird. I like you just like nothing. It's not as scary anymore once
- 1:37:03you understand the processes, Like I can't wild, but I need to know.
- 1:37:08Well, because my trailer's falling apart. I'm gonna figure that out.
- 1:37:10Yeah, the the uh you know, you take off in the boat and
- 1:37:15you it's a boat, you know. So I like, I go to
- 1:37:17Iowa and I get in this truck and it's an Aims Iowa the university.
- 1:37:21Yeah, it's beautiful country up, yeah, rolling hills. I start driving
- 1:37:29this thing and it's like really windy and it's a two lane from country road.
- 1:37:35Man, there ain't nothing out there, and this car is all over
- 1:37:42I'm like, I ain't gonna make it. Man, you drove this kind
- 1:37:45back. I drove it all the way back. I mean, I got
- 1:37:51and now I can drive it. I'm totally used to it. But it's
- 1:37:55got big tires. It's a little swimmy. Um is there powers dear,
- 1:38:00Yeah, they power steering. But now I like, I don't know if
- 1:38:04you've been through there lately, but Asheville, North Carolina. Yeah, I
- 1:38:09got all that road in there. I thought it was d M. It's
- 1:38:14like, I'm not gonna so close wall a little swimming dude. I had
- 1:38:19my old power steering right, yeah. Yeah, it's just big town.
- 1:38:25When I was in when I was in high school early college at US nineteen
- 1:38:28seventy eight CJ five with the old AMC three or four, had the AMC
- 1:38:31twenty rear Dana forty front like yeah, I jacked up with like dangerous dangerous
- 1:38:36its spring overlift with like so I had three inch lift but on those old
- 1:38:40things up thirty five inch tires on it, you know, big thing and
- 1:38:44sidepops Holly hooker finderwell exit headers with the sidepops right under the doors, like
- 1:38:47no filter, so you gotta like pancakes. But had had the big wheel,
- 1:38:56you know, he's just from the seventies. It was power steering,
- 1:38:58and but with the big tires, I had the it's your assist you know,
- 1:39:00the rancho like shocks and all that. Yeah, yeah, and keep
- 1:39:02going. I took it to get tired. I took it to get something
- 1:39:05done to it. And I took it to get something done to it.
- 1:39:10And and the guy's like, let me take it. Guys, I didn't
- 1:39:14have Casey hitters. Um, we're getting to that point of the show.
- 1:39:17I did have a four barrel Holly carburetor. Though. You can keep listening
- 1:39:21things. But um, the guy took it for a spin. The whole
- 1:39:25point this was the John's point was like guy took it for a spinning come
- 1:39:27back and he's just gig his eyes. He goes, you drive this thing
- 1:39:30just because it was it had so much play in this year one like I've
- 1:39:36been driving for years, Like I knew where I could where to be.
- 1:39:40But if you just jumped in that thing, I mean, it would just
- 1:39:42start going for Aville, like going downhill, screaming downhill, eighteen wheelers right
- 1:39:53between Asheville and Hendersonville. It is a death draft. People were looking at
- 1:39:58you like is he laughing so hard? I'm crying. I know I'm in
- 1:40:01the right spot. This is good. I texted Michael at four thirty this,
- 1:40:06Yeah, well, I have a child now. So I'm awake at
- 1:40:10five thirty to six every morning, regardless. She doesn't I get no sleep.
- 1:40:15Johnny's been Yeah, yeah, mine sleeps. Mine sleeps twelve hours.
- 1:40:23Problem is like it doesn't matter like she goes like we stretch her to eight,
- 1:40:27she's gonna get up six. You put her down at six, She'll
- 1:40:29still get up at six. It's just like, I don't know what a
- 1:40:30little freaking clock lives in her brain six ams when she gets out of bed.
- 1:40:34Norah, am I gonna work? I get up four forty five,
- 1:40:38So six is sleeping in for me now. To never forget being in the
- 1:40:40hospital. Literally, like the day Piper was born and Sarah was like talking
- 1:40:44to the nurse and saras like, well, I just need to know like
- 1:40:46at what point this like I need another schedule this and that. There's because
- 1:40:51this is your first one. We're like, yeah, hey, you know,
- 1:40:55there's no sketchule. There's just just forget everything that you have in your
- 1:41:00life and you think, you know and restart in about a year. Yeah,
- 1:41:05Because he was so like program schedule, Yeah, so where are you
- 1:41:10up to next? Like what's your next tribute? Uh? You got coming
- 1:41:14up? Um? Super excited about kind of a different one. I'm going
- 1:41:17to Panama and um to fish with Launch Sprague with my brother in law and
- 1:41:24his nephew. He called up and he was like, hey man, I
- 1:41:27just too much soccer, too much sports. We need to take fisher to
- 1:41:31do something. He's like eleven years old. Um, so we're going down
- 1:41:35there. Um, that's kind of spring. I've got to like what they
- 1:41:42would call there, like inshore fishing. You know Carter um Andrews, he
- 1:41:45was kind of in that area years ago. Um. I think it's pretty
- 1:41:49accessible. Um, but you're you know, it's it's anything from like rooster
- 1:41:54fresh and all kinds of crazy incredible tuna fishing at times. Um. So
- 1:42:00that one's kind of coming up. That's probably all about who your outfitter is.
- 1:42:04I'm sure, Yeah, this is just one guy. Um hit.
- 1:42:08You stay at his house. He's got a thirty foot CV and you just
- 1:42:13fish right out from the front of his house. You know the videos you
- 1:42:16see it, Um looks like it's uh like the most remote place you've ever
- 1:42:20been. But then it's it's kind of like right there, Yeah, you
- 1:42:24see that close all the gray reef and Star Lodge and all that stuff or
- 1:42:27as he it's a little um not not not as close to there as you
- 1:42:30might think, but I think is very similar. It's real rocky and you
- 1:42:36know that's an awesome trip. It's uh, we're probably My brother in law
- 1:42:41is a great fly fisherman. Um he Uh. Him and my sister met.
- 1:42:45He lived in Livingston and worked at the Firehole Ranch and um, good
- 1:42:49good fisherman. So we um we've always had lat of fun together old to
- 1:42:55that one. I mean Caroline has something going on right, Yeah, Caroline
- 1:42:59has gotten awesome. Uh. It's a women's deal. It's out at Kiawa
- 1:43:04River. Um. It's on Sunday, September tenth um and it's benefiting the
- 1:43:12water keeper. Um. All the proceeds go to benefit the waterkeeper. I
- 1:43:15know Free Fly is a huge supporter of it. I don't even think Africa
- 1:43:19is supporting it. Um. They're giving away a couple of tournament entries to
- 1:43:24that ladies tournament that is also coming up that AFCA is putting on. It's
- 1:43:30a women's fly fishing tournament. My buddy Rummel's wife hot Rod's coming up to
- 1:43:33fish that one from Mila Morada. She's coming yeah. I think there'll be
- 1:43:38some pretty good anglers around. Its evolved in the marshware thing. She's just
- 1:43:42fishing in it. She's made some good connections with friends there, um Hayden
- 1:43:47and um his wife and um the Uh. There's a big group of girls
- 1:43:54that are kind of in the whole world of lady fly fishing. Yeah.
- 1:43:58Yeah, it's brewing and it's called Golden Hour, Golden Hour, Golden Yeah.
- 1:44:02So yeah. I think they got the wine, they got the fly
- 1:44:05rids. It's in an awesome setting. So is it. Is it kind
- 1:44:09of more of an instructional thing or they fish too. It's an instructional thing
- 1:44:13and fish, you know, anyone can sign up for it, like any
- 1:44:15lady can get on the website. Absolutely. Yeah, it's easy, easy
- 1:44:19to find. I should know how easy it is to find, but I
- 1:44:23think it's easy to find. Run run my wife down, you'll you'll find
- 1:44:27it. Or run run me down, you'll find it. Yeah. Uh.
- 1:44:30Is she getting opportunities to fish? Does she get to fish as much
- 1:44:34she wants to? Man, I tell you, I think about fishing with
- 1:44:36her a lot. When when I'm not fishing with her, it's like I'm
- 1:44:41out, you know, and something cool is going on on the boat,
- 1:44:44you know, and uh awesome. I was like, man, I need
- 1:44:46to get Carolina front this fish. You know that that that gives that makes
- 1:44:50me good when it's her time. Yeah, because I'll save something up or
- 1:44:55you know, I won't bother. Some fish also get at age two where
- 1:44:58they can get out, and yall can probably all get out fish like you
- 1:45:00did in Montana. You clearly were out there. Yeah. Man, Izzy
- 1:45:03caught her first fish on a fly rod completely unassisted. Uh, anybody she
- 1:45:10caught a She caught a trout on a on a fly rod, not on
- 1:45:15the rye fry even though um. I fished with Cluge a couple of days
- 1:45:23and he he got me turned onto the um to the euro nymph thing.
- 1:45:29What for Izzy? That was straight? Yeah, well, no, what's
- 1:45:38doing well? He was just kind of shut me. You know. We
- 1:45:42we the salmon fly fishing. Everything was really good when we were that's that's
- 1:45:45good there. I had a couple of days on the Gallatin where I think
- 1:45:48it's probably some of the best fishing I've had twenty years doing the reach cast
- 1:45:54was man up on the that upper end of the Galuton. There were so
- 1:45:59many salmon flies coming off. If you could get across the river and get
- 1:46:02away from where everybody was fishing. Everywhere you thought that there was a fish,
- 1:46:08there was a good fish. Every rock, every seam, every spot.
- 1:46:13It was just text. I hit that in really good fish home in
- 1:46:16one time where fishing big drives, we're throwing big hoppers and ship a small
- 1:46:21streams Franks Creek something I don't remembers up in the high but it was like
- 1:46:25that was like the funniest thing from a North Counta boy. The first time
- 1:46:27out west, I was like, like you said, every time, I'm
- 1:46:30like, like a fish could hold there and need to slap that drive I
- 1:46:32don't want. It's like it's like the water so cool, particulous. Did
- 1:46:38you get a chance to go to their shop that they took over awesome?
- 1:46:41Yeah, so I had obviously blow through that shop when we're out there.
- 1:46:45It's kind of like a year league trip for us. But man, it
- 1:46:47looks like awesome. It just seems it just makes sense that they would have
- 1:46:51a shop out there, you know, yellow yellow Dog shop what it used
- 1:46:56to be called. It was like it was right, it was the color
- 1:47:00that green on that on that thing, right, there. It was bright
- 1:47:03Green. It was like south south Bozeman. Yeah, I forget what it's
- 1:47:08called rivers Edge or something. No one, Oh, you're talking about the
- 1:47:12one in Bozement. Right on the Gallatin you take a left valley bright Green.
- 1:47:16Yeah. Yeah, but it looks great, and I think it's all
- 1:47:20kind of like um set up, like interfaced with all their travel and everything.
- 1:47:27It just makes sense. So you're going to yeah, you know,
- 1:47:30you're going to bone fish, and we need to send you this eight way
- 1:47:31rod, you know, like, hey there you get the gym was super
- 1:47:34excited about it, but I watched him pretty much put on a clinic.
- 1:47:38I think I caught like one white fish and I wasn't. I was like,
- 1:47:43okay, excuse me, sir, what's going on seeing these little things?
- 1:47:47So they this is what you need? Yeah. Now, we were
- 1:47:51between the lakes like right there and then and we stay like right by there.
- 1:47:57Okay, so we just wandered down, okay, um weight fishing just
- 1:48:00wait. Yeah, yeah that's really cool. As then we had a little
- 1:48:04raft when we were out there so we could float down and do all that.
- 1:48:08The kids can't wait to get out there. September. Yeah, you're
- 1:48:12I'm September two. Wells, I'll be on the Missouri for like six days,
- 1:48:17and Craig and then Kevin. No, just me and my buddy Austin
- 1:48:21Cox. We we've been doing it now for name, if I know,
- 1:48:27five years, and flowed every section the Missouri we can. And then we
- 1:48:30go up to Elk Camp on the sixteenth. Nice. Yeah, all right,
- 1:48:34so we'll see what happens. Kevin is building a house up there right

- 1:48:45you're going out when't you went out west? You went up to Cali?
- 1:48:48Yeah, I was in California. We did uh San Francisco, yes,
- 1:48:51said, my wife had a conference in Napa, so we did as it
- 1:48:56took a week before her conference flew out. We started Fan Francisco to like
- 1:49:00two days, and then we drove out to Yosemite to like two days in
- 1:49:02Yosemite, then to Santa Cruz Monterey Bay, did like a couple of days
- 1:49:05there, and then went north to Napa, which is where her conference was.
- 1:49:10And she did her thing all week and me and me and uh Nora
- 1:49:13just hung out in Napa, so like all week I was making like my
- 1:49:16wife was, She's we were hitting every damn cafe and shit she found on
- 1:49:19Instagram, you know, and I was I was hemorrhaging money. I mean,
- 1:49:23it was just literally like, lunch shouldn't cost sixty dollars every day.
- 1:49:29I know it wasn't here. It would be like if you just hung out
- 1:49:30downtown all day every day for two weeks and had to buy all of your
- 1:49:33meals down there. You know. That's what I was dealing with. So
- 1:49:36as soon as like we were Napa, which is still like that, yeah,
- 1:49:40um, and it was just me and the baby mom coming like what
- 1:49:42did you guys do for lunch? I'm like why, I had some seven
- 1:49:44eleven hot dogs off the roller, and then one day I got like a
- 1:49:46gas station sub sandwich. I'm like, I'm like, bro, I'm not,
- 1:49:49I'm six dollars. You're like, I'm good with that, but we
- 1:49:53did. Me and Nora took a hik. So I was looking for you
- 1:49:55know, it's only so much you can do, and I don't want to
- 1:49:57hang out a hotel room with a baby all day. So I was like
- 1:49:59I founda park and it was like, yeah, hiking trails and I was
- 1:50:01like, all right, and one of them it had like a dirt road
- 1:50:03in the middle of it, and I was looking at pictures like, yeah,
- 1:50:05I got the one of them strollers the big wheels, like the jog
- 1:50:09is strong. I'm like, you'll be final a dirt road and we just
- 1:50:11walked around, no problem that motherfucker. I gained a thousand feet in elevation
- 1:50:16and it was road grade because it wasn't like a hill where they sea out.
- 1:50:19Yeah, yeah, it was just and it picked into it just it
- 1:50:21was straight uphill and rutted out in rocks and I was too far in before
- 1:50:26I decided to turn around. I was like, I can manag have to
- 1:50:29conquer it. Yeah, yeah, the thin line between dumb and tough.
- 1:50:32And I was towing it. And when I got all, I did like
- 1:50:35four and a half a mile around trip. Gained a thousand feet and lost
- 1:50:38a thousand feting at I was like, you gotta workout. I was stupids
- 1:50:45what it was, and then yeah, but it was good, man.
- 1:50:46I enjoyed California's beautiful. I had to wear a hoodie every day, which
- 1:50:49was awesome. I was like, man, I ain't. I ain't got
- 1:50:53hot once the whole time I've been here. Yosemite is for all y'all listen.
- 1:50:57If you ain't been to Yosemite, mark it down, goes see it.
- 1:51:00I didn't like I've been to Yellstone, Well I've been at it feels
- 1:51:04weird, like I felt like I was standing from a green screen or something
- 1:51:08like it. You really don't feel like that should be there. It's just
- 1:51:13so big and so crazy. And we, of course with the baby,
- 1:51:15we were very limited. I was I was itching so bad, like all
- 1:51:17those side trails going, I'm like, I won't going like I just wanted.
- 1:51:23Yeah, I just wanted to go like one er. But we were
- 1:51:25stuck to the valley floor. But we still. We went up to Mirror
- 1:51:27Lake and we we did I mean, I don't know, I mean miles
- 1:51:29with it. But we did a lot of walking, went up to the
- 1:51:30lower falls. Anything I could get to with the kid. Pretty reasonable.
- 1:51:32We hit as much as we could. Um, and it's busy and there's
- 1:51:36a lot of people, but it really didn't bother me. It was it
- 1:51:39was amazing. So yeah, Yosemite was great. Um, just driving around,
- 1:51:43I mean we was a lot of really friendly people, good food,
- 1:51:45great environment, like I didn't have anything like everybody's like Carl, I'm like,
- 1:51:50it was pretty awesome to me. Yeah really, I mean it's you
- 1:51:54know, girls, I'm not gonna move there tomorrow or anything, but you
- 1:51:57know, it was really cool place. And it's such a big state.
- 1:51:59Like we were driving me, Sam, you feel like I drove a while,
- 1:52:01Like I was driving three hours this direction, four hours that direction.
- 1:52:04Oliver and I covered like this one little tiny square and that Stayeh, that's
- 1:52:10big. So it was cool. We got to see all, you know,
- 1:52:13a lot of cool things. Really enjoy the trip. Traveling with the
- 1:52:15one year old is uh, I've never been to California. Interesting one day.
- 1:52:20Yeah, that was my first time. You haven't either. I've never
- 1:52:23been been all around it. We're non Cali buddies. We are. Let's
- 1:52:27go to CALLI. You want to. Yeah, this sounds a little bad.
- 1:52:30Let's talk about later. Let's get the santy Santy San Francisco. Did
- 1:52:34you leave your heart there? It's not San Francisco. Was I liked San
- 1:52:40Francisco, but I generally, just as a general hate big cities, Like
- 1:52:43I don't do all big cities and it wasn't an over It wasn't like New
- 1:52:45York City. I didn't feel like overwhelmed like that. But I can do
- 1:52:48them for two days. Yeah, the days. That's all I got.
- 1:52:50It was. It was classic big cities stuff. It was cool. And
- 1:52:54then I will say this though, one of the things that Sam I learned
- 1:52:56us on a tour. We took one of the things Sandraco Pride cells.
- 1:52:59Nobody lives more than like a five minute walk from a park, so there's
- 1:53:01tons of green spaces and like big nice parks all scattered in the city.
- 1:53:05So it was really easy, like you know, to just kind of like
- 1:53:08go walk through a really beautiful park with big trees, and you know,
- 1:53:11it's cool. That's a cool town. I mean, once again, I
- 1:53:14don't like cities. That's not really my thing, but it was cool.
- 1:53:15Well, I've got an idea. Let's just listen to U two of our
- 1:53:20sponsor, our soap opera sponsors. Instead of stopping, let's just come right
- 1:53:24back, get Richard Queso and then in this thing, yeah, we'll get

- 1:57:19just him, but other guys too. Yeah, that's right. Hey.
- 1:57:24I always say, if you're fishing a new area, first thing you used
- 1:57:27to do is always thought it low tide, and the second thing you used
- 1:57:30to do is look for the gods. I mean, it's really easy to
- 1:57:32find fishing if you just follow those two simple rules. John. If you

- 1:58:36on the cash though. Yeah, well it's pretty easy. I mean I
- 1:58:40found this really good spot out on Wamalo Islands, the big farm. Nobody
- 1:58:44even noticed that the trailer touched way back into bushes. Uh. It's such
- 1:58:48a it's a living gig. Again I called us off the grid, but
- 1:58:53yeah, it's a little free. Yeah, and so that allowed me to
- 1:58:57pull some funds. The coon call about it went off the right. Yeah.
- 1:59:00I don't know if you noticed, but sales would just d thing.
- 1:59:02I'm running out of coons at that point. Um. But but yeah,
- 1:59:06so things have been good. I decided to bring all scoopy dooping and then
- 1:59:11let him do some stuff for us. But yeah, we got the workout
- 1:59:14videos, we got the AI dug. I've got this new drink coming out
- 1:59:18all it's called all toes. Um. Oh yeah, for you know,
- 1:59:24you go out on the boat. I mean you want a good Scotch and
- 1:59:27soda warm in a can. And so we got this company coming out of
- 1:59:30the Richard case, all Toes. That sounds like all hands. No,
- 1:59:34all hands uses vodka. We don't use vodka. We use scotch. All
- 1:59:40toes It sounds yeah great. It's it's so nice on a hot day just
- 1:59:43to crack open a warm scotch. So yeah, yeah, it's very peaty.
- 1:59:47That's a toe part. It smells like to it's a little feed,
- 1:59:50a little peatie feedy. Okay, yeah, you got questions for me?
- 1:59:55The man I've actually I gotta switch a counts here. You know all this,
- 1:59:59all the stuff works. Let me get to let me get to the
- 2:00:02Richard Kso okay, let's see. Um. So I've got a here's an
- 2:00:11email from Jason Coleman, big listener. Hi, Jathan, he actually won
- 2:00:16the award that we're supposed to send him some sub virginal artwork. We have
- 2:00:20yet to send that I have yet. I got there. Paul don't know
- 2:00:25much about biding the thing. They call it snail mailer. Right, He's
- 2:00:27an artist, not a business man. We know this for a fact.
- 2:00:30Um. With that head of hair from Keso Corpse, opossum cream and a
- 2:00:34dab of pluff mud, are the possibilities really endless when it comes to hair
- 2:00:40products? Yeah? Well the point I look at it and when we can
- 2:00:43it hurt, right, I mean like if you don't have any hair,
- 2:00:45nothing really gonna make it going back, and even got hair, well,
- 2:00:47the only a few things are gonna make it fall out. So the post
- 2:00:50and it's possum cream. I think opossums live in Australia is something. We
- 2:00:55got possums around here, but the possum cream is actually they live in I
- 2:00:59think Papa Old Guinea and Papa Old. Yeah, it took a little good
- 2:01:02like grief through the ham mathage of the moisturize the scalp. You know,
- 2:01:06there's so many things to do with it too, because then you can do
- 2:01:09different sense and a roma thet me even want to call in the lads,
- 2:01:13you know you can look, you can just steal some of the pheromones out
- 2:01:15of that possum sack and just put a little of that in there and then
- 2:01:17shoot a boy. You be calling them in makes sense to them all day,
- 2:01:20all night. It's really in until you run out of hair. That's
- 2:01:24that's really the limitation on hair products. Okay, my next hair My next
- 2:01:29question from stand Walnuts weird um. Interesting, I've been that's the possum cream
- 2:01:36for about three months now and I have literally all my hair is falling out.
- 2:01:42What should I do? I don't know if you've you know, looked
- 2:01:45at your genealogy, uh, you know, look at your daddy and your
- 2:01:47uncles and do they have any hair? Because if they don't have any hair,
- 2:01:50then surprize genetics. Uh. Okay, so you're basically telling stand that
- 2:01:56it might just be not even the products I'm telling stand that I have the
- 2:02:00luscious head of hair that I have today and it gets possum creamed every day.
- 2:02:04So I'm telling saying he needs to look at the family a tree and
- 2:02:09not the posthum tree. Okay, good, good point, good point.
- 2:02:14Um, let's see. Hold on, Doug, you got a question.
- 2:02:16No, I don't think I have any Doug's never very been very much inquisitive
- 2:02:21of nature. John you good. You need to ask Richard. You want
- 2:02:25to ask Richard something. I'm just kind of going back to the whole um
- 2:02:30the paper pants and the maple syrup guy. That about candidates that you missed,
- 2:02:39so he might have had some questions though syrup pants. Yeah, well,
- 2:02:43I'm you going to fill me in off the air about the had you
- 2:02:45outside the Hubka? Have you ever had an incident with maple syrup getting you
- 2:02:51know, a little sticky? Maybe? You know, Dug, I thought
- 2:02:55we talked about you're not looking inside the camera anymore. It's an invasion of
- 2:02:59private the I mean, I don't have much in this world to all I
- 2:03:01have with my camper, and I can't afford the blinds for the windows,
- 2:03:04and you keep peeking in on me. Hey, maybe you should think it's
- 2:03:09a nice camperrup with your wow. I've tried a few different things. I
- 2:03:13think we don't really got good maple trees down here in the south of He's
- 2:03:15not the one to get thirrup out of and sweet gums tasted fulling in in
- 2:03:18the pine. Don't do the pine. It is not so good looking to
- 2:03:24palmetto heard. They're trying to discern, as were you at Roper hospital this
- 2:03:28week? Will some maple syrup and some paper pants? I will think I
- 2:03:34have not had the luxury of being in a hospital bed quite some time,
- 2:03:39thankfully. The luxury Just check it, just check. Have you ever been
- 2:03:44to Witt like a magic hood? They bring your meals three times the day
- 2:03:47of the cable TV right there in the corner. They gotta kick Richard Caso
- 2:03:50out of hospital bed. I tell you that right now, I ain't got
- 2:03:56an you can't send me over. Thanks Richard. All right, that was
- 2:04:06awesome. Well this is what we call the just just the monthly wrap up,
- 2:04:15Old Richard kissing that. Do you feel like you got what you came
- 2:04:18for? Awesome? Man, it's gonna be great because that's an hour and
- 2:04:23a half of driving and Uh. I just want to make sure that you
- 2:04:27got what you thought you were getting into here. I fished with everyone of
- 2:04:30y'all, but never fished with any of us like together, which would be
- 2:04:35uh, which everything off the water. But I do have one question.
- 2:04:43Yes, since two thousand, is that about when you started guiding us here?
- 2:04:46Ye? How many boats have you gone through? UM? I'm I'm
- 2:04:49a keeper. I will run the bottom off of it. UM. So
- 2:04:54I had a UM, I had the hues and then had a ranger that
- 2:04:59was way too big and way too fast, and that guy to Hell's Bay.
- 2:05:03We came through Clark Sound at sixty eight miles an hour one morning.
- 2:05:06That was an old, an old, an old guy. And now now
- 2:05:11I'm fishing out of that pro so four flats boats UM in twenty years and
- 2:05:15then I bought I've had that Jones Brothers for since twenty twelve. That's it's
- 2:05:21on the it's it's departing. It's been I was thinking about it today.
- 2:05:27I've got a few more trips, so it's on the way out. It's
- 2:05:29on the way out. I've got one of those latitude tournament boats. UM
- 2:05:32should be ready into September. So a little bit more boat, a little
- 2:05:36bit, uh, a little bit more need, a little bit more room,
- 2:05:41maybe a little shade, you know, got me t top finally,
- 2:05:43So um yeah, how often do you do like multi person trips that are
- 2:05:46just wanting to catch fish compared to like a flat trip? Yeah, um,
- 2:05:50pretty fair amount. Like um yeah, I'd say a family three or
- 2:05:55four. I've kind of surprisingly enough, I'm probably ill used to be about
- 2:06:00seventy five twenty five. I'm I'm kind of more fifty fifty. Ok.
- 2:06:04You know, I love, I love fly fishing, and I do still
- 2:06:10think I fish a certain way, you know, I love I love a
- 2:06:13good bass guy. I love a guy who's good with a spin a rod.
- 2:06:15I love a guy who's good with top water. Um. That kind
- 2:06:18of fishing and that that's I enjoy doing that. It's kind of in that
- 2:06:23same wheelhouse, you know, and uh, get some good anglers out in
- 2:06:28the ocean, you know, that kind of stuff. You you kind of
- 2:06:30got to be able to do a little bit of everything. Nice to be
- 2:06:33able to fly fish, but it's nice to be able to to be able
- 2:06:36to mix it up and make a productive day, you know, just just
- 2:06:41fish and have fun and it all kind of comes with that's great. So
- 2:06:46it's obviously probably hard to get a down the water with you. But if
- 2:06:48people want to at least inquire and check out what you're about on Instagram or
- 2:06:51website, what would that be. It's man if you type in Captain John
