  Speaker 1: if you're guessing that it wasn't to make it strong
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and more effective, you're onto something. Colorado's dumb fur band

  Speaker 1: has died, but they replaced it with something not quite
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: as dumb. Is the perpetuation of daylight savings time good

  Speaker 1: want to you like you want to talk about workplace drama, Hm,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: workplace drama. This, this represents tremendous workplace drama.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not aware.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Oh the bear grease bib, Yeah, what's the drama. Clay
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: fought for years for these BIPs. I think relationships were
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: ruined over these BIPs because Clay stuck to his guns.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: He would he would accept nothing less than perfection. If
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you're a bit man, we stand up. You see me
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a good bill?
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Look great? Here you go.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: The important parts.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not trying well.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: You can see the main The main part of a
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: bib is the top is attached to the bottom.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Put camera the bear grease bib look zippers like it's
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: all in reverse. Come looking at a camera. Zipper side pockets. Okay,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you can run them like you can run them Southern style.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: We just run around like that. Zip them up, flexible.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: They got chaps running from ankle up. It's the ultimate bib.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: It's the greatest product we've ever made. And and like
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I said, a lot of fighting, a lot of fighting.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: I had some household drama over these. I brought him home.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: And I have a pair of three Xcel car heart
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: overalls that I do all my car work in, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: I brought these huckers home to do that in. And
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: my wife said those are too nice to do car working.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: But now I did car work in them.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: But she wants she wants to be her dress bills. Yeah,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I asked her, like, can I wear these to church?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: She didn't answer. I think that if you had those
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: other church, I would say I'd like this man to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: step up to the pulpit. I think he's got something
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that he should share with the congregation.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Also, you're not a three XL. What are you doing
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: with three XL bibs at home?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Oh? I got this from the third store. They're just
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: like a big pair of bibs.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: You do you're working?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: These are?
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: I think they run a little bit big because these
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: are your original ones.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I'm running around in a medium, which is right right
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: right where I should be for a pair of this
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: is a large. I'm six four, big guy two twenty.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: See claylay is telling people on Instagram they run a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: little big. So if you get in your pair, keep
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Clay's words.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It depends if you like to put them on over
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff. This is the best listen, This
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: is the ultimate deal. This is what I'm live in.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: From now on, I.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: Will say I throw these on, like in the morning,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: I climb a tree and shoot from my saddle before
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: work and I just throw these on over my work clothes,
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: climb the tree.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Good to go.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Because you don't want to get your T shirt dirty.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: Well, I wore a T shirt today, but usually have
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: nice pants on. Yeah, dude, people know about my dress
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: up games.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: This is some rock These are rocks out bibs. I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: like them.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I gotta get me some, Oh, dude, just like durable.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: A lot of fighting. They're available now.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: That's what we want to emphasize above all else.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of fighters, a lot of fighting between.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It got like, it got emotionally.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: These were built with anger.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I've got emotion.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I'm picturing an Instagram ad. Just like Clay fucked these bibs.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: It got emotional. A lot of fighting. And here that
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: after after five years of fighting.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I think it's seven. I thought Clay said twenty.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Years of fighting, being like not like that, like this.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: For the for the ignorant misspect. Here, what's the difference
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: between a bib and an overall?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I use them interchangeably.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: It's interchangeable.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I didn't know if there was a practical difference.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: If I had to say a difference, I feel like
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: an overall maybe like goes all the way.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: To sleeves cover all.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: That's great product too. My wife's got a lot of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: cute little overalls these days.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the thing. My wife's got a parado overall.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Overalls are cute.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she's got some real cute She's not running
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: around these. She was, she'd probably caught it, she'd do
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: something to she'd modelm.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: She's not gonna start working on the truck.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: No, she just runs around being cute in her little overalls.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Now and then it's only a differentiation between coveralls and
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: bib overalls.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can get them now, and you gotta go
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: get him, because here's the deal. All that fighting, if
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: they bombay is getting so if you got to bring
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: peace to the workplace, blow these bibs out of the water,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: get them, love them. Clay wins, I win. Everybody's happy.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: A lot of fighting. Nate's got a hot tip.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: For you or cold tip because I had neuro virus
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: this weekend and spend a lot of time in the show.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Got oh, dude is miserable.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Not as miserable as when I got it after the
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: Mile High Hunting Show and spent an hour and a
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: half plane flight in the bathroom.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: But this weekend, you're.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: A two time neuro virus happened.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I think I've had three times.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: You gotta eat more bad stuff I've had, hold up,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: just strengthen the system.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably good point.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: You weren't frequenting taco bell.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: No, not surprising virus, I know, but it could have been.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: No, our whole social group got it, so it pretty
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: sure is nora virus. Anyways, I'm a little skeptical of
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: western medicine or western medicine curious, and I don't believe
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: in the overutilization of the medical system. And so instead
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: of going to the doctor when I have stuff like this,
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: I just do every hour and a half, I get
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: in the shower and sit there for half an hour,
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: kind of soak it out hydrotherapy. But eventually, after the
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: seventh or eighth shower rotation, the shower gets prett uncomfortable.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: So I thought to myself, what could I put in
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: here to make the shower more comfortable? And lo and behold,
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: I had a sleeping pad. So I blew that sucker up,
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: threw it in there, and you made my eighth, ninth,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: and tenth shower of the evening far more enjoyable.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Do you measuree that you're sort of washing away the sickness?
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: I don't know if it's this I'm washing it away
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: or I'm steaming it out.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: What I'm concerned about whenever I think of air mattress
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: is I think of all the crevices, you know, like
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: there's crevices in there. To me, that would be ripe.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: For say, if some duke got in there, there's not
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: in there shatting.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Themselves, you'd be surprised.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: So if you find yourself on your seventh or eighth
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: shower rotation of the evening, uh, blow up your sleeping
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: pad and sit on that sucker.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Get a shower stool available at a common drug store.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I like that idea. It's at dude. I don't take baths,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: but if I did, I'd say this is not comfortable.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: The CDC says norm virus is very contagious. What are
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: you doing here, Nate?
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I stayed home yesterday.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: I was clear on Sunday and I stayed home yesterday.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I'd also just love the game I got. I got
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: our news. Here's the deal. There's a place called Matt's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Reel Repair m A t s not to Te's Matt's
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Real Repair. I've been using them for years. Those guys.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: If you got a fishing reel that needs work, those
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: guys are the best guys on the planet in their business.
• 8:02

• 8:04
  Speaker 6: You send us altis there or something I.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Send my I send every year I send reels in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the mass reel repair if you get if a real
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: gets to where they'll call you be like you're throwing
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: good money after bad.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: It's done. You got to give it up.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Every couple of years, I take my reels and send
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: them in for like I write it. You put a
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: little form, I put down clean, lubricate, fix what's broke.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: Like taking your car in for a tune up or whatever.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Oil.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: But I've been running some dial with saltis reels for
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: for way over a decade in the salt. In the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: salt just the nicest guys man, just like you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you call over there like hello, That's what I like.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: It's not like press one two. Okay, we're gonna do
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta do some crashes. But the audience
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: has a love hate relationship with corrections. Some people love them,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: some people hate them. We're gonna try to shorten it up.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: So we brought in a thing to time it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: What's the winner get nothing right now? We're just we're
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: just rounding up corrections.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, you're not gonna win nothing right now
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: a long time ago. Guy made us this interest O meter.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Can you put this? Can you put he put my
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: shot on the screen.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: H get the Diary of Sleeping Pad off the Okay.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: A guy made us this interest on meeting. Yeah, there
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: you go. I'm gonna walk through some corrections very quickly.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Okay, this was listener Ryan Thomas, who created the meter.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Who created the meter?
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Than you got three red dots, yellow and three green,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: So seven levels of interest.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: And the way this machine functions is we all have
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: a terminal with a dial and it averages those lights
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: average our interest in said topic. And so Steve will
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: spend about a minute covering a correction, and we'll all
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: weigh in with our dial on how inch should we
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: are in the top one wins.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Guy named Troyer writes in a couple of weeks back,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you guys mentioned new shirts with tr on him. Love
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the idea, but you guys called him Teddy, and that
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: would have made the man bristle. He did not appreciate
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the nickname. Well, there are reports that in political sphere
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: he did not mind if a stranger called him that.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: As supporters of the man, I personally use tr or
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Theodore proper as it has been said that he never
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: permitted himself to be called teddy.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: All right, they're turning their dials.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I'm moderately interested in that.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: I'm not turning mine.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Now, Okay, who's this guy?
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: The venison? The guy? This is something dude from the UK.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: What's his name? I can't remember his name. Let me
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: start by expressing this is about Yanni's report on Wimbledon,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the tennis contests, serving venison to lower their carbon footprint,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: dropping beef, picking up venison, which we covered, Feller says,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: let me start by expressing my genuine admiration for the
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Meat Eater brand, your team, and everything you do for
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: hunting and conservation internationally. The reason I felt it was
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: worth writing in that Meat Eater has earned enormous credibility
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: with hunters around the world. When you speak about a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: country or a hunting culture, people listen. That is why
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I felt compelled to reach out after listening to your
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: recent discussion regarding Wimbledon, venison and the UK landscape. The
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: venison served at Wimbledon is sourced from the Royal Parks.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: This is managed park venison, not wild shot deer. While
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: quotes in the article note that eating venison helps control
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: deer populations, causing ecological destruction. Eating park venison does absolutely
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: nothing to reduce Britain's booming wild deer population. Trained hunters
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: in the UK are legally permitted to sell wild venison
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: directly into the food chain, yet only one major supermarket
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: chain regularly stocks genuine wild British venison. Most stock imported
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: or farmed venison because of public perception, the market finds
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: park or farmed labels more palatable than wild, despite wild
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: being the more ethical, sustainable choice.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: That they're now they're now serving wild venison in National
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: Health Service hospitals.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I know, but here's the deal. I was gonna say
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that too, but it ran out of time. Oh, I
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: thought that was for you to add it in.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Well, I thought we could have got I thought we
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: could have rid of Interestingly, you have to see genuine
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: progress left.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: British vedicine is now even being served in several NHS
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: hospitals as part of an initiative to promote sustainable, locally
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: sourced knows exactly.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: The kind of So now my interest has fallen because
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: it went on too long.
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: But I know if it were me, I would have
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: cut out all this stuff about how not you his
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: genuine admiration for the brand, and I like that enormous credibility.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Favorite part.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: All right, we were at a five out of seven,
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: then Brody brought it down to a four and he's
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: still in the in the lead.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Here he achieved yellow.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: We covered a piece where in Alabama h O and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Alabama brought in the Feds to kill the bunch of
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: geese that were bugging them, and we're like, what I
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: was saying, I was saying, just don't start the time again.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: This is background. I was saying, it seems a little
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: severe to call in the FEDS to kill some geese.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: There's gotta be another way. That's just my comment as
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: a guy that doesn't know anything about this HOA guy
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: writes in he wants to remain anonymous. I am a
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: wildlife biologist with USDA's Wildlife Services. I would like to
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: add some insight on the HOA geese issue. First, some
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: information was left out of the podcast segment, including previously
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: used non lethal harassment and the severity of their situation.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: According to Heritage Plantation, they have invested over twenty five
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars using coyote decoys lasers, shoreline fencing, and the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: introduction of swans. For over ten years, they have been
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: conducting egg oiling. This blocks the egg pores, preventing oxygen,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: installing embryo growth. In addition, they were also denied by
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the City of Madison to use trained dogs, so they
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: tried a lot. Over the past year, sixteen geese and
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: seventy five percent of the swans have died from illness,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and one hundred percent of the carcasses tested positive for
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: avian influenza who. One important thing to note here is
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: that they most likely they were dealing with a resident population.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: This means they remained there year round. These situations are
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: very common in urban and suburban areas. In fact, in
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: places that I have worked on goose issues are conveniently
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: also where the DNR chooses to band geese. Every single
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: banded goose I have lethally removed were banded and the
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: exact place I shot them, with examples of some birds
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: being banded almost ten years ago in the same spot.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: This is all to say it is extremely hard to
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: harass resident geese, and it seems to me that they
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: have exhausted almost every other method besides installing a wire
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: grid across the pond. Here's just gets interesting as to
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the method of lethal removal. Roundups are just the most
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: efficient way. They're conducted during the summer molt. For euthanasia,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: most programs utilize CO two gas chambers. Takes about ten
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: to twenty seconds to kill a goose. I saw a
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: comment saying that geese can hold their breath for forty
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: five seconds, but that doesn't matter because CO two is older. Listen,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: they don't know to hold their breath. They hold their breath.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I got a bad feeling.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: Guys, one, two, three, we're out.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: We're a A.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: We're a six out of seven. There for the interest.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Also, I just jammed it up.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I forgot my Minnesota wolve. Nate reviewed compensation programs for
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: wolf killed livestock. My hearing aid equipped ears perked up
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: when Nate said wolf advocates were the original source of
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin's wolf composition funding. Here's where it gets tricky. When
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: wolves are being managed by the state DNR Department of
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Natural Resources through hunting and trapping. State law requires wolf
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: depredation payments come from wolf hunting, trapping licenses and license
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: application fees. However, when wolves are being protected under the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Federal Endangered Species Act. The money for wolf depredation payments
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: comes from Wisconsin's Bureau of Natural Heritage and Conservation. So
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: if you're allowed to hunt and trap them, hunters pay depredation.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: If you're not, it comes out of a totally different fund. Man.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: That's a nice tight correction there.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Pat closes with this thought. Pat has often said deer
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: make people stupid. He elaborated on that. Elaborated on that
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: deer make people stupid, wolves make people mad, Turkeys make
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: people happy. That sucker up. Lastly, this is the final
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: final mention on whether it is okay to refer to
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: weed smokers as dope smokers.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I'm pad achieved yellow there.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: So you got.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, you got okay.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Last one light green. Last one the most important one.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I'm writing into defend Steve and correct the angry dope
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: smokers about the use of the term dope smoker. First,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I want to establish my bona fides. Listen carefully. This
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: is the most this is the most credentialed dope smoker
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: in the world. I want to establish my bona fides.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I lived my entire life in the foothills of northern
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: California and was a self proclaimed stoner. Through most of
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: my twenties and thirties. I spent many croptobers as a trimmer,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: getting paid in wait for my services. In addition, after
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: recreational cannabis use was legalized in California, I was the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: director of product development for two of the largest and
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: most well known cannabis brands in the state. My job
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: there was to select the best weed, build supply chains
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: for manufactured products like oils, vapes, and edibles, and then
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: bring those products to market.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: That's I bention that guy had a subscription to High Times.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Now onto the topic at hand. Is the term dope
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: smoker acceptable? The answer is yes. Perhaps the best supporting
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: evidence for this comes from the band's Sleep, who are
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of the undisputed creators of stoner rock genre. In nineteen
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: ninety eight, Sleep released the album Dope Smoker, which I
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: listened to you cup. Just a quick intro to Dope Smoker.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Was I did I get right here?
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Let me know what You're ready?
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, give me a sick.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety eight, Sleep released album Dope Smoker, which
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: contains only one song title Dope Smoker. That'd be an
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: ep The song is a sixty three minute epic tale
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: about a pilgrimage made by weed priests known as Weedians,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: across the mystical desert. The purpose of their pilgrimage to
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: cast seed of Eden onto the nurtured desert soil of Zion,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: creating a permanent, spiritually elevated sanctuary dedicated to continuous cultivation
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: and smoking. He's losing me.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: This is great now.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: The band spent four years writing and recording the song.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Here's how it starts. I was hooked. That's good, Phil,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Okay great. They spent four years writing and recording the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: song album. Both the title and content of Dope Smoker
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: were so important to Sleep that when they're label London
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Records threatened to drop them over it. In nineteen ninety six,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: The band went to court lost, then leaked the album
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: themselves two years later.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: He goes on to say, I dare any offended dope
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: smoker out there writing into the media to podcast to
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: tell the members of Sleep that the word which caused
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: them to fight a year's long legal battle with London Records,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: effectively bankrupting them and then causing them to break up
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: for fifteen years is somehow a pejorative. Keep up the
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: good work into all the dope smoking hunters and angers
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: out there, stay high. I was right.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: He achieved a five and a half on our scale,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: flickering on six.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: So who won the man?
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: I think that is a sixth though, isn't it?
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Is it just a bad No?
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: It's like flickering, you know for someone who just gave
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: him a little bit.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Engineers got he's got. We got a couple of mods. Yeah, yeah,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: before we go back to prize given, we got a
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: couple of mods. Buffalo flips. Old man onto the news,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: A viral video from July tenth showed an old man
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: getting thrown what's been said, eight feet.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: In the air.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I believe he was.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, he looked like a dope smoking man who could
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: use some bear grease bibs. I would say, throw, yes, yep,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: uh thrown eight feet in the air by a bison Yellowstone.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: It was sixty five year old Carl McDaniels from a
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: small town north of Seattle. He was in the park
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: with his grandson, and the two were on a walk
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: at a campground near Yellowstone Lake when they spotted a
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: running bison who was putting on a show. The bison
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: rutt goes from June to September, so they're kind of
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: peak that time period. Carl and his grandson U lingered
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: for a second to take some pictures, and then the
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: attack happened. Play the video Phil.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: For audio listeners. There's two individuals mm.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Hmm, yeah, the old timers running one of those beards
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: that goes down and he's running one of those beards
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: it goes down to your nipples.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: And he's got suspenders and jeans.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: And a grandson who's wearing a Miami Dolphins. Ryan fitzpatri
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: to Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jersey bison is wallowing. He's now on
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: his feet. This white pickup, it was later said it
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: was trying to haze the bison, didn't work.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: The pickup honked the very poor operation.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: They said that the pickup honked at the bison and
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: maybe that's like what got thordison on its feet. Actually,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: so it was doing the opposite of what it intended.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: The the bison and the man are playing ring a
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: on the rosie with some trees and then this is
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: where the attack happens.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Oh oh god.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Quite a video man captured by a photographer who was
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: at the campground at that point. Can you imagine if
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: he didn't if they like, wasn't a dude with a
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: really high powered camera, like?
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: Did the bison just walk off after that?
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Immediately after the attack, some good samaritans, including the cameraman
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: who stopped filming, They hazed the bison until it moved
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: away from Carl, and because they were in a popular area,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: emergency vehicles got there within ten minutes. The man is hurt,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: but okay. His femur was broken in four places near
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: his hip. The accident happened on a Friday. He had
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: surgery on Sunday right here in Bozeman, and he was
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: standing again on Monday. Carl said it wasn't the bison
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: that hurt him. It was the ground sure, So it
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: wasn't the impact from the bison. It was coming down
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: that caused that broken femur. Now, the National Park Service
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: says you need to stay twenty five yards away from bison.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Is on their website, It's in all their re materials.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: They also say one hundred yards away from bears, wolves,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: and mountain lions. Carl estimated that he and his grandson
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: were one hundred yards away from that bison, so they
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: were bear distance four x what the National Park Service says. Normally,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: when these things happen, the reaction from the general public
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: is like, Wow, what an idiot. You know, he sure
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: deserved that. Go team Bison, you know, get those more
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: on tourists. That hasn't been the case here. And when
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I watched that video, I don't have that reaction either,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Like the dude seemed like he was just in the
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: wrong place at the wrong time, and he didn't linger
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: too long. And the way that video begins, you're watching
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: the kind of encounter that happens in Yellowstone thousands of
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: times a year, where someone's just like watching a bison
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: from what would be considered a safe distance, and usually
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: it doesn't happen like this where the bison actually attacks him.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Do you guys feel the same way? Did you see
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: something different?
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: No? But I never, like, I never think that the
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: person was dumb for even creeping up on stuff.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: Pettingam.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Listen, I'm like, guy, you know, I like to get
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: in there. I've never think you, guys, you never try
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: to sneak closer to something.
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: Of course I have, but I'm not gonna try and pet,
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: but I think what Spencer's getting now is true.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Like this guy, no, he didn't have I'm not mad
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: at him, and I never do that. I never do that.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I never do that thing like Oh, what a dummy.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: But that's like eighty percent of the online reaction normally
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: when when this happened, normally people are like, boy, dude
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: had it coming.
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: I feel like the reaction to this one is very
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: different than what you usually see.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: That thing was gonna get him no matter what. It
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: went through those trees. Yeah, and that old guy's pretty spry.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: He was.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: There was multiple moments where I'd have been like, oh,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I'm safe now, like the thing is over, and then
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: the bison like keeps going after him.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: That dude was hitting the Nazis zombie moves.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. No, are you gonna
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: add anything to this that Ida.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Had to take.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, I was just gonna say, Like he starts out
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: what looks to be a very safe, conservative distance from
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: the bison, that truck goes through, blows its horn. They
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: start moving off as soon as the bison starts moving
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: towards them, Like, I don't know that there's anything in
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: there that I'd second guess. And then the other thing too,
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: is like you never really see the grandson get away.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you sort of get.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: The sense like he when the grandfather comes around the trees,
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: he kind of stays there and does the cat and
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: mouse thing with it, and I kind of wonder if
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: he's like trying to distract the bison.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: The grandfather said that was the case. He told his
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: son to run to her grandson to run to the amphitheater,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: and that he was going to try to distract him.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: So he just ran. We couldn't see him.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, the distraction worked a little too well though, as
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: we saw in the video. No, of course Carlson.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Gett a hundred yard vibes off that.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: I didn't think so either, But that was what the
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: quote said. Is distance Now.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: The guy the hazer, Yeah, then the hate's finally about this.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: The dude who suppose he hates it from a truck
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: even though he's in a truck. He gets scared. Yeah,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: he got out of it, runs away in his truck.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like right here, right here, you can see he's
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: like trying, you know, he's trying to distract the bison.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I think, Oh, look at that. That's a bad that's
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: a bad ASSCT Again.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Multiple times, I'd be like, Oh, it's I'm safe. You know,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I've evaded the bison.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I want to draw that bon I want to
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: draw that bison tag and get that one.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know him. Here's something I don't know. Okay.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Of course Carl survived, but I went to one of
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: my favorite books, Death in Yellowstone, to try to put
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: the attack in perspective. There have been two bison related
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: deaths in Yellowstone. The first was from July twelfth, nineteen
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: seventy one, almost fifty five years ago to the day
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: when Carl was attacked. That's when Marvin Schrader, a thirty
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: year old from Spokane, Washington, was at the Fountain Paint
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Pots with his wife and three kids. Marvin wanted to
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: get a picture of a solitary bison that was loafed
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: in a meadow. Marvin got to within twenty feet of
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: the bison when it got up and charged him. The
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: bison's horn pierced the man's liver just before it lost
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: him twelve feet in the air. Marvin's family watched him
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: groaning on the ground for a few minutes until he died.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: You're doing fatalities.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Fatalities too, ever, guessed much higher, much higher fatalities. So
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: that was nineteen seventy one. The second fatal bison attack
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: happened twelve years later in Hayden Valley. Again, it involved
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: a solitary bison during the rut. It was July thirty first,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty three. Twenty one year old French visitor Alaine
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Dumont wanted his picture taken with a bison. He got
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: to six feet away when the bison turned and gored him,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: throwing him ten feet in the air. Dumont's injuries included
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: a punctured kidney, punctured stomach, torn colon, damaged spleen, and
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: four broken ribs. Dumont survived long enough to see a doctor,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: but later died from an infection because of the ruptured spleen.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: So those are the two fatal.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Spleen is mine hurts now?
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Now all three of those events share some similarities. It
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: was a singular bull bison during the rut, which again
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: is happening right now, specifically in July. Each victim was
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: either taking a picture or getting their picture taken with
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: the bison, including modern day Carl. And my last thought
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: is this book made me aware of something that I
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: hadn't really considered before, and it's that humans have always
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: been stupid. I think there's maybe like this shared thought
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: among people today that we're like more disconnected from nature
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: and our cell phones are making us dumber and common
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: sense isn't common anymore, and I think people maybe carry
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: some even guilt about just like how dumb the modern
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: man is. This book will make you realize that people
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: have been doing dumb things and dying in spectacular ways, but.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: They're not doing one hundred and fifty years, who's not
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: all kinds of hot buffalo hide hunters got killed. It's
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: like the world's like a slightly dangerous place.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you this book. If you read, if you
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: look at this book and look at all the deaths
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: that have happened in Yellowstone over the last one hundred
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: and fifty years, your takeaway will be like, oh, man,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: people have always been stupid. People are always trying to
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: like take a cool picture, or impress a girl, or
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: win a bet, or you know, like ignore bad weather,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: ignore an animal's behavior that's been happening for the last
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty years, for as long as people
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: have been recording this stuff. And I feel like we
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: just kind of assigned that to folks in twenty twenty six, like,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: look at how stupid we are collectively. This book will
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: tell you otherwise, we have always been stupid, and it's like,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe our species has a chance. Here's the
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: best evidence of this whole thing. In the nineteen eighties,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Yellowstone averaged six bison related injuries per year. In nineteen
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: eighty three alone, there were eleven injuries. Today it's less
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: than two a year, despite there being literally twice as
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: many bison in the park and twice as many visitors.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: So we've we've cut we've cut down injuries because they've
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: they they they control, they control people's freedoms. I don't
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: think so.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I think they're better rules.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: They're just better at telling people like, hey, don't get
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: to six feet from a bike people's freedoms.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Americans are a trigger happy lot. We like to
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: get in there, We want to mix things up, and
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: they make it like you can't mix anything up in there.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they should engrave that on that.
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: I knew Spencer was headed for troubled waters on this one.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: When I found out that the View also covered this story, Oh.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Dude, my wife pointed out this story to me, and
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: we don't like, we don't traffic in the same news source.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: They didn't talk about the two bison fatalities though, And again,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: humans have always been dumb. Humans have always been doing
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: stupid things in dangerous places.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just very slow to condemn someone for having to
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: mix up with wild animals.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Like specifically the thing when it comes to taking the
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: best picture, like taking a selfie that has been going
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: on for as long as cameras have existed. There are
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: so many deaths in this book because someone is trying
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: to get the right picture.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: I feel like your book might have the opposite of
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: survivorship bias. You're only going to highlight the things that
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: went crazy bad.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's why it's fascinating.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you made a whole uh normal everyday things
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: going normally.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: It's sad because every character that gets introduced in this book,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: you're like, well, I know how this ends, so they're
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: gonna die.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I got a book about hunters dying called Dying to
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Hunt Montana m It's you can't it's it's too painful.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: The gunshot section, it's it's it's just like the writer's
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: too good, sparse. You cannot read it. You cannot read it.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: The amount of people jumping, crawling under fences, going over fences.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: And I don't read it being like dummy, dummy. I
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: read it like dude, world's slightly dangerous place. But you
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: still gotta get out there and mix it up.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: Hmm.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Randall, you're gonna do the changes to the ESSA. But
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: should I start with the World's most misleading headline or
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: do you want to end with that?
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: Let's start with it, Okay, Phil, I said this. Did
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: you see that email?
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been Yeah, this is big news. We're a
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: little just because of our recording schedule, we're a little
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: late to the game and talking about this, but it's
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: not going anyway anyway. Randall's gonna lay out some changes
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration made to the Endangered Species Act. But
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: in amongst all the reporting, those great wildlife reporters at
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: the Washington Post run an article about these changes, and
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: you see a couple of manatees floating there, humanatees hanging out,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: and it says Trump administration allows killing of species threatened
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: with extinction, which one might reasonably assume. Good, lord, they're
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: hunting manatees.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we were sharpening our harpoons.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I was already on the road, yeah, headed to Florida
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: when I realized that this was a very misleading photo.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: But in all seriousness, like I said up top, if
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: you're guessing that they want to make the endangered species
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: egg not as effective, you're correct. Yeah.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: And this is one of those cases where there's a
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: headline and you think, God, this is this seems ridiculous.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: Surely it's not a big deal. The headline is both wrong,
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: but this is also a big deal.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. They just wanted to find a way to take
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: something that was very wonky, yeah and hard to understand
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: and make people click on it by making the impression
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: that it's now okay that Trump is saying you can
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: hunt manatees.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Right, And it worked because that screenshot, the hyperlink was purple.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: So somebody clicked on that and read I don't know
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: who that came to.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: That came from me. I clicked right away. Yeah, Yeah,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I clicked knowing it was dumb, but I still clicked it.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was I clicked on it just to make
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: sure I got my tag application in on time. So
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: the Force, I'm sorry, the Fish and Wildlife Service and Noah.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: So the Department of Interior and the Department of Commerce
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: issued a rule on July fourteenth, and the rule is
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: called rescinding the definition of harm under the Endangered Species Act.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: The Endangered Species Act, at the most fundamental level, makes
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: it illegal for anyone to take. And these are when
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: I when I say the word with that emphasis, that's
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: from the law to take endangered species without authorization from
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: the government. And in section three nineteen, the term take
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, killed, trap, capture,
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: or collect or attempt to engage in any such conduct.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: So the word take is defined by ten different terms.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: And so this, as I said before, in the rule,
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: they're rescinding. How the word harm under that umbrella of
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: take has been commonly understood for the past several decades.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: So harm until this rule change, the operational definition of
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: harm included destroying an animal's habitat if destroying that habitat
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: or altering it impairs essential behaviors such as breeding. And
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: one example that I found in my research from a
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: I believe is an article in Vox. I can't recall
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: exactly where, but building a hotel on top of a
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: beach where sea turtle's nest, right like, because that is
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: going to impair the ability of species to recover. That
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: is considered take under the Endangered Species Act.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: In this.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: In this rule change, the administration does not offer a
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: new definition, but it refers to a descent made by
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: Justice former Justice Scalia. The late Justice Scalia in a
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: case known as Babbitt v. Sweet Home that also had
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: to do with the Endangered Species Act and habitat, and
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: in his descent, Scalia said that essentially everybody knows what
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: take means. It means when you deliberately go out and
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: kill an animal, and so there's no way that you
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: could understand take to include destroying that animal's habitat.
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: By descent, you mean he was on the losing end
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: of a decision.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: That's exactly right. So so in that case, Scalia was not.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: The court actually ruled that conserving habitat or I should say,
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: destroying habitat, falls under the definition of takes. Scalia disagreed
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: with the majority, But the administration is going back and
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: using his words to argue that, in fact, destroying habitat
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: in a way that will harm the species does not
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: constitute take. Now, the way that this works, essentially is
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: there was a change two years ago in the way
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: that administrative rulemaking works, like when Congress passes a law
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: saying you can't take an endangered species and then gives
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: you ten words. Traditionally, historically, the agency themself has been
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: able to define what harm means, right, and as long
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: as the Court found that their definition was reasonable, then
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: the agency could use that definition. Two years ago, the
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: court repealed that was called the Chevron doctrine, or is
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: up to the agencies to find reasonable understanding of the law.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: After the Chevron doctrine was overturned by the court, Now
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: the Court has sort of claimed the power to interpret
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: the best meaning of these laws. So essentially what's going
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: to happen in September is that harm the word harm
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: will no longer explicitly include actions that will destroy habitat.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: You could build a hotel in that example. You could
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: build that hotel on the beach where the sea turtles nest.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: And as long as you're not intentionally killing individual sea
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: turtles or their eggs, you're fine.
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: Shut down a logging operation because they're spotted owls around.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: That's exactly right.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so.
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: You'd have to drop a tree on a spotted owl.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the part, that's the part. And again the Administration
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: is quoting Scalia's understanding of the word harm, and what
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: Scalia says is that it has to be an affirmative
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: act directed immediately and intentionally against a particular animal. It's
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: not an act or omission that indirectly or accidentally causes
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: injuries to a population of animals. So this sort of
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: fundamentally undermines the purpose of the Endangered Species Act. And
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: what's interesting too, is that it's clear that Congress intended
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: the Endangered Species Act to cover those habitats. In the
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: Endangered Species Act itself, it talks about conserving the habitats
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: that species need to survive. It says the purpose this
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: is from the law itself. The purposes of this Act
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: are to provide a means whereby the ecosystems upon which
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: endangered species and threatened species depend may be conserved. So,
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: in short, the Administration is saying that harm doesn't encompass
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: those habitats, even though Congress specifically calls out habitats. And
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: then the law also has provisions to permit incidental take,
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: like if you're going to do a project that would
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: harm habitat that's needed by an endangered species, you can
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: work with the government to offset whatever incidental take you
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: might have. But because harm is no longer going to
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: encompass that, it's unclear what will happen with those types
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: of projects, Like if incidental take or or habitat destruction
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: is not considered harm, it's very unclear like how that
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: will move forward. And this is probably going to long
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: story short, this is probably going to end up in
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: the Supreme Court. They're basically the administration has basically said
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: harm under the Endangered Species Act no longer no longer
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: encompasses destruction of these habitats, and so like, it really
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: removes a big chunk of what the Act is supposed
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: to do.
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: So if it's going to end up in the Supreme
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: Court in the meantime, do they get to operate under
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: this new definition of harm or.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: Well, there's lawsuits that have already been filed, I believe,
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: but I don't know whether the court will issue an
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: injunction to stop the administration from putting this rule into effect.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: But as of right now in September, this rule takes
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: effect whereby habitat destruction is no longer covered under the
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: definition of harm, which is hard to wrap your mind around,
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: but that's sort of where we are.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Man. These guys got a case of the ass against Yeah.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's you know, it's one of those things
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: like I feel like every every person in our community
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: that cares about wildlife and cares about habitat and wild places,
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: like we can all acknowledge that the Endangered Species Act
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: has been weaponized in some instance. It's like there's ways
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: to improve it, right, but to do away with this
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: chunk of it, which seems awful important if you want
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: these species to survive, Like it's it's kind of taking
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: it an act to the whole thing when when I
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: think most.
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't think it's that the concern is with wildlife. Yeah,
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: the concern is with for sure, development and energy extraction
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: and stuff like that.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah. It removes a lot of roadblocks to things like
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: as you say, development.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there are some real significant pain points in the
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Danger Species Act, I mean most the most obvious example
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: of that is the way wolves and grizzlies have been
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: handled where in the case of grizzlies for decades, you
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: have decades where grizzlies have reached recovery status as defined
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: when they were listed, but people block the d listing
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: because they view it as my favorite Animal Protection Act.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: That sort of thing creates a lot of ill will
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: towards the Endangered Species Act, where people just look at
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: these ridiculous examples of people weaponizing the ESA. It creates
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: all kinds of animosity towards the essay, and then you
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: get actions like this. I'm not trying to blame certain
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: people for it as well, I'm saying then you get
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: people that are like, all right, I'm done with the
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: whole damn thing.
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a polarized I mean, it's a legitimately polarizing
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: topic because of the way that it's played out in
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: contemporary politics, especially like in the West here. But man
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: to say that the whole thing is rotten is maybe
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: a step too far.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: One point about it, And there's one hundred ways to
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: get into this. Yeah, only two percent of the species
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: that go on the Endangered Species Act come off because
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: of recovery. Two percent things come off because they didn't
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: deserve listing in the first place. Things come off because
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: they're extinct. Things. Two percent there's some big examples, bald eagles, whatever.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Two percent come off because it worked. So that's another thing.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: People will look and be like, well it doesn't work anyways.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, yeah, yeah, I mean it's one of
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: those things too. It's just like governance is messy. You
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: write a law with the best of intentions, and it
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: can be used in any number of ways through litigation
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: and all kinds of stuff. To you know, there's tons
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: of different perspectives on the ESSA, But like just getting
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: rid of harm, including habitat, is wildly sort of like
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: a huge like leap in imagination.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Like let's say, for for some reason, just you already
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: made it this point, that's why I double make it.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Let's say there's a there's a particular cliff face, and
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: there's a type of swallow the nests on that cliff face,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: and it's the only place though swallows ever nest. Some
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: guy says, I want to blow that cliff face up.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Historically'd have been like, well, you can't blow that up,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: because that's an endangered swallow. The nests on that cliff
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: face now would be like, Okay, wait till all the
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: swallows are off, right, then you can blow the cliff
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: face up. That way, you're not technically taking any of
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: the swallows.
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 47:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, It's not like the people who crafted this actually
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: believe that destroying habitat is not quote harm.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Like they know they're being cute, right yeah.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: So. Uh.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Something that got my attention was Randall saying that Noah
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: is under the Department of Commerce, which I didn't know
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: and I never considered where it was rolled up in
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: the government. I knew it wasn't DOI, but I googled
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: why would it be under Commerce? It was created in
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: nineteen seventy, Noah was and the most famous driving reason
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: for Noah's placement was a political feud between President Richard
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: Nixon and his Secretary of the Interior, Wally Hickel. Following
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: the nineteen seventy Kent State shootings, Wally wrote a public
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: letter criticizing the Nixon administration, criticizing their handling of the
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Vietnam War demonstrators and urged the president to listen to
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: the youth. Furious with Wally's public defiance, Nixon chose to
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: punish him by stripping the proposed Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: from the DOIS purview. Instead, he had in the agency
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: to the Commerce Secretary. Maurice stands a loyal ally. So
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: that's how we got to where Noah is under the
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Department of Commerce, which when you hear, you're like, well,
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: that seems weird, and there's a reason why it is
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: so wed.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Ten soldiers and Nixons come, we're fun. Oh I could
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: I know, Phil can. He just doesn't want to. No,
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: That's cool. I don't mean that second. Oh, go on wildfire,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: make money on wildfires.
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: No, we're talking about daylight savings time and if it's
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: going to become permanent.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: This, this whole thing is so confusing to me. I
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: got you.
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: We're gonna clear it all up. There's did the farmers
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: start it?
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Was it? Ben Franklin? Two hours? One hour? We're gonna
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: clear it all up.
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: So right now, the House of Representative has passed the
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: Sunshine Protection Act, which is not the first time they've
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: they've brought this bill up. It's a bill to make
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: DST or Daylight Savings Time permanent.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: What does that mean?
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: Daylight savings time permanent daylight savings time means one hunter's
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: legal shooting shooting light comes at seven oh five am
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: and an others at nine to twelve in the same
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: time zone, in this case Central time. This gives an
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: extra hour of shooting daylight in the afternoon. And so
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: the question we're going to examine is the extra afternoon
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: light worth it?
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: Yes, all right, we got on and I'm already confused.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: I'm already confused, And I hope you're not making the
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: mistake of thinking that the numbers we apply to this
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: somehow affects how many hours of daylight there are.
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: No, It's all relative to work hours. That's what I'm
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: talking about, Yes, because we'll get into it.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: When I was in college, this is the one thing
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: that got me to write an email to a politician
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: was that when the time would change when it does,
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: the bars would still stay open un till two am.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: But now the sun's coming up an hour earlier. So
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: I'm losing an hour of sleep now every time the
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: clocks roll back. So I'm like, we got to get
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: this fixed. We need that extra hour in the afternoon
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: instead of in the morning, because I'm not going to
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: leave the bars early to make it up for shooting light.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: So I'm looking out for those kids.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: The drinkers. Yes, okay, take it away.
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: So to answer this question, we're going to go way back.
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: What is daylight savings and where to come from? A
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: plain definition is that daylight savings time is the practice
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: setting our clocks one hour ahead of standard time in
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: the warmer months, so a given stretch of daylight lands
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: later in the day. We moved the clocks forward one
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: hour on the second Sunday in March and back one
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: hour on the first Sunday in November. The origins of
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: daylight savings time can be traced to Ben Franklin, though
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: tenuously as US envoy to France. Ben Franklin published a
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: satirical essay that Parisians could save sixty four million pounds
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: of candle wax if people just woke up with the sun.
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: He did propose firing cannons at dawn, but never proposed
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: changing the clocks. Fast forward about one hundred years and
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: George Hudson, a New Zealand postal worker and entomologist, proposed
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: a two hour shift, primarily so he'd have more daylight
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: to collect bugs after work.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: This little thing was ever observed this before with that
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Ben Franklin smart man. Some don't know if families have
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: noticed that this.
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: Was October to March in the southern hemisphere, but same
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: for us its oppos in the northern. He didn't get
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: a whole lot of traction until nineteen oh seven, when
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: William Willett, an English builder, Royal Astronomical Society fellow and golfer,
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: proposed a similar advancement, but in four twenty minute increments
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: across the month of April and reversing that in September.
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: The stated benefits were more recreation, time less crime, less energy.
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: To Spencer's point, people in the past being done this
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: is a great example. We hate changing our clocks once.
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: This dude proposed changing it four times over a month.
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: The first official adoption is nineteen sixteen in Germany, which
• 52:40
  Speaker 5: was an effort to conserve coal for the World War
• 52:42
  Speaker 5: One war effort. This takes us, Oh yeah, Germany was
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: the first one.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: That's how this started, yep. Now grant other plots for
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: world domination.
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: I mean within months the rest of Europe adopted it
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: for the same reason, so there seemed to be some
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: merit there.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Fast forward two years.
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: Nineteen eighteen, the US adopts DSD for the same reason,
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: but repealed in nineteen nineteen after the war amid public complaint,
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: much of it from the agricultural community. I'd always thought
• 53:11
  Speaker 5: that the agg community loved daylight savings time, like that
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: was the whole point.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: It is not the case. They do not like it.
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: Nineteen twenties, DSD becomes optional daylight savings time. There's limited
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: local adoptions, pretty patchy throughout the US. There's all sorts
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: of issues with trains and trick commerce and whatnot. Nineteen
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: forty two, FDR institutes year round wartime, which is year
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: round daylight savings for energy saving. In nineteen forty five,
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: three years later, wartimes repealed. States and cities set their
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: own rules again. It results in this patchwork and confusion
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: peaks in nineteen fifty four when, for example, New England
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: extends through October while all their states end in September,
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: and then some go to November and some do one hour,
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: some staggered, and so it's a mess.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: They've delivered that for about.
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: Twenty more years, and in nineteen sixty six the Uniform
• 53:55
  Speaker 5: Time Act is passed, which standardized DST from the last
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: Sunday in eight to the last Saturday in October. That
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: said states may exempt themselves, which is how Arizona, Hawaii,
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: and portions of Indiana were exempted. You'll also notice when
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: we look at these lines, there's a creep the boundaries,
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: creep where the western edges push to escape those late sunrises.
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: Nineteen seventy four to seventy five, the same thing's enacted
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: during the oil embargo. They enact year around DST to
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: save energy. There's a ton of public backlash, specifically sighting
• 54:29
  Speaker 5: kids going to school in the dark, and within eight
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: months they roll it back to the standard six months,
• 54:34
  Speaker 5: on again and off again.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: Just be clear here, when they're talking about energy savings,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: they mean that it's an hour less that you'll spend
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: dicking around your house at night with the lights on.
• 54:46
  Speaker 5: It's the lights on which we'll get into and now
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: it seems to be offset by AC and all the
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: other things that take energy. Two thousand and five, the
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: Energy Policy Act extends DST from the March to October,
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: or i'm sorry, from April October to March to November.
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: And that's what we have today. And it was mostly
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: energy related. The current Sunshine Protection Act introduced in the
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: Senate originally in twenty eighteen, then again in twenty twenty one,
• 55:10
  Speaker 5: then in twenty twenty two, has been reintroduced again here
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: in the House in twenty twenty six and passed and
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: sitting with the Senate. So there's this long history of
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: daylight savings and the ultimately the main critique is that
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: it just needs to be the same across the board,
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: whether it's early or late whatever, just the end of
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: the session.
• 55:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, why daylight? Why do they want to go with
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: permanent daylight savings time versus permanent standard times.
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: It's basically a trade off if you want time in
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: the morning or time at night.
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: And that's the question.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: Daylight in the morning. So they're talking about I'll just
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: go take the perspective of the dumb guy out there,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: because that's where I'm at on this. This means you
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: don't have to message your clock anymore. The goal is
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: to never change the clock. Okay, yep, So just you
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: are are you going to adopt the fall time for
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: the springtime?
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: I don't care.
• 56:06
  Speaker 5: Well, it's are you going to adopt the permanent summertime
• 56:08
  Speaker 5: or the permanent winter time? Because that's when it changed
• 56:11
  Speaker 5: that sixes. To me, I support the sole thing, So
• 56:14
  Speaker 5: I think the whole clock change the thing is dumb.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: Agreed. Yeah, so I'll tell you why later.
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: Let's let's just clarify terms, because I think we need
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: at this point. What we do currently is we switch
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: twice a year, spring forward one hour and fall back.
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: Everyone hates it.
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: There's been permanent standard time, which is what Steve's talking about,
• 56:30
  Speaker 5: where we stop switching. We keep the quote unquote natural clock,
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: which has lighter mornings and darker evenings and happens to
• 56:36
  Speaker 5: be recommended by most sleep scientists and the American Academy's medicine.
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: And then what the what Congress is passing is permanent DST,
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: which is to lock the clocks one hour ahead forever,
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: lighter evenings, darker mornings.
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: Well until they changed it again.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Kids out having fun riding their bikes all summer long
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: at night, they need to get up in the morning.
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: If I have one take away from your segments so far,
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: it's that it won't be forever, It'll be for twenty years.
• 57:04
  Speaker 6: There's a common.
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: In one of the studies I read, it said it
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: took us fifty years to get this standardized. What's next
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: so that said states can still opt out, which what
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: they if under this rule they have to be in
• 57:20
  Speaker 5: the same time zone. There's a few other stipulations. But
• 57:22
  Speaker 5: if you really hate this idea, your state can't opt out.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Would it be the Indianamal's right? All or wrong? Or right?
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: Are parts of it? Depends on what you think is important.
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: Arizona's Arizona, Hawaii and Hawaii the territories. None of them
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: observe it because they're near the equator and it doesn't
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: really matter.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: It's just us.
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: But it does matter significantly, especially for the groups that
• 57:44
  Speaker 5: are at the two corners of the time zones, which
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: we're we're going to talk about. The time zones themselves
• 57:49
  Speaker 5: are an interesting little tidbit. So where where did these
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: come from? Toy the pros and cons? We need to
• 57:54
  Speaker 5: have a firm understanding of those time zones themselves, because
• 57:57
  Speaker 5: the impact of this proposal is drastically different if you live,
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: say in the northeast corner or I'm sorry, the northwest
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: corner of North Dakota, which is the top northwest corner
• 58:08
  Speaker 5: of the Central time zone, or Panama City, which is
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: the far southeast corner of the central time zone. So
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: these time zones came originally from the astronomical societies. Basically
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: they wanted twenty four worldwide meridians, which is fifteen degrees apart,
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: and that would that would collapse all these different railroad
• 58:26
  Speaker 5: times into four time zones across the US Eastern Central Mountain,
• 58:29
  Speaker 5: Pacific and ever. Every time zone is built around the
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: central line of line of longitude where the clock is
• 58:35
  Speaker 5: supposed to match. Noon would line up with that meridian perfectly,
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: and so that's why it's in the middle of these
• 58:43
  Speaker 5: time zones.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: So instead of you know, like when you the time
• 58:47
  Speaker 5: zone line that you're basing it off, isn't the split
• 58:50
  Speaker 5: in between you know, Alabama and Georgia or wherever you're
• 58:53
  Speaker 5: split is it's the center of that Generally, the farther
• 58:58
  Speaker 5: east you go from that idian. So in this case,
• 59:01
  Speaker 5: let's take the center of the country and you're going
• 59:02
  Speaker 5: towards the edge of North Dakota. The the further east
• 59:07
  Speaker 5: you go, the earlier the sun runs against your clock mh.
• 59:11
  Speaker 5: The farther west you go so towards Florida, the later
• 59:14
  Speaker 5: it runs against your clock. To put it simply latitude
• 59:17
  Speaker 5: and longitude. Longitude east to west is when the sun
• 59:21
  Speaker 5: crosses your clock. Latitude north to south is how long
• 59:24
  Speaker 5: the day is. And both of those those get they
• 59:30
  Speaker 5: they stack at those corners, the northwest and southeast corners.
• 59:35
  Speaker 5: So Phil, if you don't mind pulling up that first
• 59:37
  Speaker 5: little slider guy that I've got, what we're gonna look
• 59:40
  Speaker 5: at is the two time zones for the for the
• 59:45
  Speaker 5: you know, we can choose, well, which time zone do
• 59:46
  Speaker 5: you guys want? Central?
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter to me at all.
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: Which one Central?
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: Central is the largest, So click.
• 59:55
  Speaker 5: On Central in this case Wilston, North Dakota, and Panama City, Florida,
• 59:59
  Speaker 5: and you'll see in December twenty first you've got a
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 5: nine to forty two am wake up in North Dakota
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 5: versus seven thirty five sunset. Isn't that drastically different? But
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 5: that wake up is crazy. Now if you go back,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 5: let's let's take it to let's call it November seventh.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: What you're looking at here, and this is how you
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: can measure from a hunter's perspective, you'd be eight forty
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 5: nine am under permanent standard daylight savings time, which is
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: you can't hunt before work. And I'm only talking weekdays here,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 5: I'm not talking weekends. You're not gonna hunt before work
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 5: with an eight forty nine am sunrise.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: But I don't think you're hunting before work when it's
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: seventh exactly.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 5: That is my whole point is, I don't think it
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 5: matters because you know, take an hour off this you're
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 5: gonna go if if you sunrise shooting light isn't until
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 5: seven fifteen, you're not gonna get that sit in before
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 5: So I.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: Don't know man's gonna if you work here. People just
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: do what they want all the time. Anyway.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, now that said after work, you got great options
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 5: six twenty eight sundown, so shooting ends at seven. Dude,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 5: you can sneak out of work at four, hop up
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 5: in your tree stand.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: And you got two hours to hunt cat. You're a
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: dirty secret with you, please. I used to like when
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: they switched the clocks for fall bow hunting, because you'd
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: get out of school, your old man pick you up
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: at school, rush you out to sit in the tree stand,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: and you just got to the magic hour that much
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: quicker before it felt like you were up there forever.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: But then all of a sudden, you just rush out
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: there and the minute you get in your tree, dude,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: it's the magic hour. I think for I used to
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: look forward to it because it shortened how long you
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: had to sit in your tree before.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 6: He saw something I used to get like ninety minutes
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 6: after school where you know, which was perfect.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: You're like, because my be up there for a million hours. Yeah,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 5: Well I'm sorry for the kiddies, but for the people
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 5: who have nine to fives, I think this is great news.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 5: So what we're demonstrating here, and you could do it
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 5: across all the time zone you can check winter solstice
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 5: all the things, but you guys get it there. The
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 5: trade off is region regional, especially as you live on
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 5: the far extreams of these time zones, and so so
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 5: why it.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: Matters to everyone?
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 5: There's there's very clearly documented associations with the time change. Specifically,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 5: there's more car crashers, there's less robberies, there's more heart attacks,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 5: more strokes, there's mood implications. I could go on, but ultimately,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 5: what does it mean for us as hunters and for hunters?
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 5: There's a few elements. Energy usage is the first one.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 5: There's this argument that daylight savings time increases energy efficiency
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 5: because you don't have your lights on as long because
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 5: the sun's up.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: The jury's out.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 5: It seems that the increased usage of home appliances in
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 5: ac during peak heat hours throughout the year after daylight
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 5: savings would actually offset that because lights have gotten so
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 5: efficient with LED lights and whatnot, as opposed to heating
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 5: up your oven at five o'clock when the sun's still
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 5: shining is going to be significantly more energy draining. And
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 5: so it's kind of a moot point from the rancher impact,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 5: because we love our ranchers here. The switch is what's annoying.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 5: It seems like they don't really care which ones which.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 5: It's just like, choose one schedule. I want the milk
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 5: truck to show up at the same time every day.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 5: I don't want my cows to have to change twice
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 5: a year for their schedule. Der vehicle collistion and that
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 5: was that was actually a tough one for me to
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 5: wrap my mind around, like why is that time really matter?
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 5: But if you had like a morning routine, like your
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 5: morning poop or something, and then someone said, oh wait,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 5: actually you need to do that an hour earlier today,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 5: twice a year it'd be super annoying to adjust all
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 5: your routines and so take up smoke and I feel
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 5: for the cows.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: Yep. Another interesting one is der vehicle collisions.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: This is a big one.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: Man, if you're a hunter, you're like, oh, okay, now
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: I'm convinced.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Yep, we're getting even even more dialed.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 5: So this is a study that covers one over one
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 5: million collisions and ninety six million hourly traffic observations. Collisions
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 5: are fourteen times more frequently two hours after sunset than before,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 5: which is pretty clear. The fall back shift puts peak
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 5: tracks in the darkness at the time of the rut,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 5: which also sees more deer injuries year round. DST would
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: prevent approximately thirty six and fifty deer deaths, thirty three
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: human deaths, twenty fifty four injuries, and one point two
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: billion dollars in costs annually. Permanent standard time, which would
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: be Not shifting the clocks would make collisions worse at
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 5: two point four billion dollars annually.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: Thirty seven thousand more deer out there walking around if
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: we change the clocks, because they're not getting hit by vehicles.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: Save big bucks, Save big bucks, Change good yeah, and
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: you have a logo for that with a dollar sign
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: and a big buck and then in little letters.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: Say take about the play on words. That's great.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 5: And so finally, the ultimate question I wanted to answer
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 5: is your hunt scheduled. You have weekends or weekends, but
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 5: on a workday, if you're trying to get in before
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 5: or after, does permanent daylight saving time give you to
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 5: give hunters more hours before or after and to trade off?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 5: And so Phil, if you can pull up that second slider,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 5: what we're going to look at is total hunting minutes,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: which I defined as before from thirty minutes prior to
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: sunrise up till eight am, and from four to thirty
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: pm til thirty minutes after sunrise.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: So this is a workingmand's schedule here. Yeah, there's a
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: working man. Yeah exactly.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 5: Like like I said, weekends or weekends, we're just trying
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 5: to sneak out after tea.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: Your schedule.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 5: Here you go, and in this case we'll we'll talk
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 5: again North Dakota and Panama City and what we can
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 5: do if you want to slide that towards November. Look
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: at that that second though. The blue is your morning
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: minutes that's available. The Orange is your afternoon minutes, and
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 5: so that top with the top row itself is standard time.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 5: The second row is permanent DST or daylight savings, and
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: so you end up getting a few more minutes when
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 5: you switch in North Dakota. If you're down in Florida,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 5: it doesn't really change. But then if you look at
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 5: the full year, so under Williston the second set of bars,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 5: you end up with significantly more hours of sunrise under
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 5: this system than you do understandard and you can you
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: can apply that kind of across and again it's it's
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 5: it's greater at the northwest corner than it is in
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: the southeast.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: And so there you go. I'm a big fan. I
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: think it's great. Hmm. Yeah. If I was alive a
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: long time ago and someone would have brought this whole
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: thing up in the first place, Ben Franklin whatever, like
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: you know, we're hanging out, I would have said, Man,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: let's just no, let's just focus on something different. Like
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: this thing just seems like a headache. It's gonna be
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: hard to get buy in. It just feels arbitrary.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 5: It's taken like one hundred years.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: It's like stuff just the season. I like the seasons.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: Just no, if this sticks, it'll be really interesting in
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: like thirty or forty years to tell little kids about
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: how we used to change the class twice a year.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: I feel like they've been talking about changing this though
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: my whole life. This feels the closest it's ever come.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: Because Trump said if it gets to his desk, he'll
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: sign it, and it would be a big win for Republic.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: Because he's big. He's a big ball hunter. What he
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: gets off work, you know, his eyes up with the
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: old tree.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet it happens this time. This is it.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: This is where we make the change permanent.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 5: Man, we could go down through hunters, but we've gone
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 5: on for a while.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: No, you're good.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: I do like Nate's note about upland retirees more daylight
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: to hunt, fewer clock change health risks.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying that if you're hunting upland birds, you're
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 5: probably retired, so none of this matters to you anyways,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 5: and you're just less likely to have a heart attack
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 5: with the black clock changing.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good report. I'm with you.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 6: Back to Colorado, back on the fur band thing.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: It's dead.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 6: They go anywhere Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission voted six
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 6: to five that rejected the petition.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: That was sixt to five. There's still five people.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 6: I mean, Polis has his people in there, right, they're
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 6: not going andwhere they actually put some new people on
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 6: which we could.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: Talk about what if it would have passed, what if
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: it went into action at that point or was there
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: like another wow, yeah it.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 6: Would I mean there would have been exceptions to to
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 6: think like flies felt hat stuff like that. But anyway,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 6: it's it's it's done.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: It's not happy good. I think I think we should
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: take credit for that. We should.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 6: We got on commit One of the commissioners, Dallas May,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 6: said CPW did a survey in April and fifty seven
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 6: percent of the public did not support that ban, so
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 6: you know they went along with with what the people wanted.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sixty five is basically fifty exactly.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 5: This was.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 6: This was that original proposal by the Center for Biological
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 6: Diversity that we talked about a bunch, But we're moving
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 6: on forty three of Colorado's I know that feels that
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 6: you should not be able to sell or buy a
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 6: product to make from muskrat first. I mean, I'm not
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 6: in charge of the survey. But if you think about
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 6: where people live in Colorado, you know what I mean,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 6: Like that concentrated number of people on the Front Range
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 6: that probably would have supported it.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: It kind of makes it. I would get just talking.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 4: I would have felt a lot better with a seven
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: to four commissioned vote.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 6: This doesn't matter.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: Story. I was down and I gave a talk down
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: in San Antonio, Texas a weekend ago to Texas Wildife Association,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: And in my talk, I was joking with them about
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: how everybody in Colorado always bitches about you people and
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: buying all their land. I used to. But I'm like
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: the way things are shaking out in Colorado. I would
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: say that the more the merrier, they need more texts,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: they need more Texans to get that place straight back.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 6: There's probably people from Colorado now that are moving to
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 6: Texas because.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 4: They like the way things Austin.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, left wingers, this is a controversial state I'm
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: about to make. I don't want to get political. You
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: don't say lefties don't want to live in lefty states.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: Not anymore lefties want to live in righty states. The
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: big lefty states lose population to the righty states. It's
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: so weird.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, demographics.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: I try to live with someone bringing down my neck
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: all the time. But you know I don't want get political.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 6: Yep, all right, we'll move on. They did have some
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 6: options they could have gone with, which was keep the
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 6: current regulations, ban the sale for products with exceptions, ban
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 6: the sale of raw pelts with exceptions. That all seemed confusing,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 6: and they just got rid of the whole thing. The
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 6: second thing that happened at this meeting was that because
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 6: they couldn't just let the fur bear thing go completely,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 6: is the Commission voted also six' five to impose new
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 6: daily bag limits on seventeen fur bear. Species now that
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 6: basically what that means is trappers and. Hunters, like the
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 6: coverage on THIS i felt like was kind of screwy
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 6: because everything mentioned, trapping nothing mentioned. Hunting it was definitely
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 6: like the coverage was aimed at like painting trapping a certain.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 6: WAY i felt LIKE i kind of left the hunting
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 6: part of it out of. It but, anyway no more
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 6: than two animals per species per. Day those species are, badger, bobcat, beaver, coyote,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 6: muskrat strip, skunk western spotted, skunk, raccoon red, fox, mink,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 6: possum pine, martin ringtailed, cat gray, fox swift, fox long tailed,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 6: weasel and short tail. Weasel that's it. NOW cpw proposed
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 6: a fifteen animal daily, limit which was largely a symbolic
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 6: cat because very few trappers would ever reach that. Number of,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 6: course wildlife advoacy advocacy groups were, like, oh that's way too.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 6: Many so they came up with a couple of different.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 6: Options eight animals a day for common species that are
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 6: often considered like a nuisance for livestock, owners like, coyotes,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 6: raccoons red, foxes four animals a day for less common
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 6: species like pine martin and. Mink, ultimately those options didn't go.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 6: Through The commission adopted an even stricter, rule which was
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 6: the two per species per. Day this isn't, like this
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 6: isn't banning. Trapping you can still, trap kind of you?
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 4: CAN i CAN i ask you a stupid, Question, yeah
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 4: for like if you IF i were to say to
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 4: you you can only harvest four animals a, day we're
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 4: talking about martin and. Mink how does? That how does
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 4: that work out in? Practice because you're going to have
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: more than four traps out? THERE i, mean, like does
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 4: a good day turn into a bad.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: Day, yeah what if you get? Six it's, yeah it's
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: meant to like really up end your, deal like if
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: you're setting it like it would be that if you're
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: trapping muskrat in muskrats, possums there's.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 4: No you don't have, control there is no spe there.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: Is no species concerned about these. Species but it would
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: mean that you'd be, like DO i make three sets,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: right trusting that one of those sets doesn't pay?
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 6: Off that's what you would turn people into violators for.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 4: You it's on its face it doesn't seem crazy because
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 4: people reach those, levels but it does kneecap you in
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 4: terms of how it plays out on the. Ground if
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: you want to stay in compliance.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: Normally what you do when you're trying like a normal
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: state that is, interested a normal state that is interested
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: in like honest wildlife management does they when they look
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: at a species that's susceptible to over, harvest they create
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: unit wide. Quotas right in the unit wide, quota everyone
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: that gets, something say it's a. Bobcat everyone who gets
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: a bobcat calls a hotline or goes online reports their.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: Bobcat as you approach the unit wide, quota you give
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: a twenty four hour or forty eight hour notice that
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: the season is, closing or if you're racing toward the,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: quota they might call it knowing that in the next
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: forty eight hours the quota will be. Chieved that's like
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: a serious grown up way of handling this. Problem this
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: is a way meant to like kneecap, people, yeah and
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: prevent people from and basically criminalize normal activity based on.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 6: Nothing and to be, clear like even, bobcats which are
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 6: regulated tightly in some, states like none of these species DID,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 6: Cpw like none of them are biologically, unsustainable, Right like
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 6: even with no, limits the populations were doing.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: Fine.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 6: Right so it's just like this vote is just like
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 6: a broader trend In colorado towards restricting you, know things
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 6: like mountain lion, hunting, wolf wolf. Restoration. Thing like it's
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 6: all part of this trend to like make it harder
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 6: for people that hunt and. Trap, Now, like the thing
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 6: about this is is that impact practical impact on people
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 6: In colorado is probably not gonna Be there's not probably
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 6: not much to it because in nineteen ninety, Six amendment
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 6: fourteen Passing, colorado which banned the use of leg hole,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 6: traps instant killed body gripping, traps, snares and poisons for
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 6: a hunting and fit or for hunting and. Trapping so
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 6: the only way you can trap In colorado is with
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 6: live box. Traps is that what They? Yeah, Yeah and
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 6: so like the practicality of like putting out a bunch
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 6: of live, traps it's just not, there like not, many
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 6: there's not many people doing it In. Colorado there's very
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 6: few high volume like commercial. Trappers so is this going
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 6: to have a big? IMPACT i don't think. So the
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 6: IMPACT i think you would see is on hunters probably
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 6: more than, trappers like things like shooting, coyotes you, know
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 6: to a. Day so that's kind of where it's. At.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 6: Mark there's some interesting info here From Matt, eckert who's
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 6: A Cpw deputy assistant. Director unlimited unlimited daily bag limits
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 6: with live, trapping which is the only method of trapping,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 6: allowed and. Hunting harvest numbers gathered from harvest surveys far
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 6: below the maximum allowable harvest that would be considered, Sustainable
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 6: so they're nowhere near again like endangering any of these.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 6: Species the agency sold twenty thousand burbar permits last, year
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 6: eighty five percent end of those permit holders did not
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 6: harvest an. Animal so, whatever that's three thousand people with
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 6: furbear permits harvested you, know at least one. Animal so
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 6: it's just like not a big thing In, colorado but
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 6: it's definitely like a statement from the commission to like
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 6: just make it more.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: Difficult these people are such little like there's such worms,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: too because they they have an. Agenda they have like
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: an animal rights animal protectionist, agenda and over time they've
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: abandoned like the peda. Approach the peda approach is sort
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: of make noise socially, right make out landish claims higher
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: celebrities to do little celebrity spokesman bits that doesn't, work
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: and they've gotten shrewd enough now or they've adopted this
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: kind of language of wildlife management and they've infiltrated game.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: Commissions they've entered the political sphere and they start using
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: the vernacular of people who sort of are invested in wildlife,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: management who understand wildlife, management and they can they're achieving their.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: Ends they're achieving their goals by. Masquerading, yeah and they're
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: undermining wildlife.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 6: Professionals they're undermining like the effectiveness of the people that
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 6: are actually doing like the boots on the ground and
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 6: work and the and the work of collecting data like
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 6: they're they're making it so like the guidance and advice
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 6: of the agency is just like not. Valuable you, know a.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: Thing that's something that brings up to. ME i want
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: to preface this by Saying i'm not, there But i've
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: always wondered about. This at what point would it? Be
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: this is a question everybody has asked. Themselves if wildlife
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: management in your, state are in this country in, general
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: veers so off course and the objective of it is,
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: lost at what point would you ever decide that you're
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: just going to do things the way that makes sense
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: to you and effectively become a vigilanti, individual, meaning you,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: know if it got to where the mission was, lost
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: would you ever, say we've strayed so far from like
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: the conservation, objectives and we've strayed so far from anything
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: that makes. Sense i'm just going to do my own,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: thing because BECAUSE i don't trust these people, anymore And
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: i'm not proposing anyone get. There BUT i always ask,
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: myself because there is a, point like all of a
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: sudden tomorrow they said all of a, sudden tomorrow the
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: animal rights people gain their, momentum and there's all a
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: sudden this like federal, law and some federal law comes
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: into place it is forbidden to consume wild, venison and
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: it's just against the. LAW i would at that point
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: become a. POACHER i just. Would, YEAH i wouldn't listen to.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: It if there's a, thing you, know there's but there's
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: all but that that applies to all kinds of. Things
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: if it also became that free speech that's like generally
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: free speech is, PROHIBITED i would, BECOME i, guess a
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: free speech vigilanti and all sorts of. Measures but like
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: there's a point at WHICH i would, say you lost.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: Me i'm kind of going on my own on this.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 6: One, Yeah and that's the danger, AGAIN i think where
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 6: like these agencies just can't do their job the right
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 6: way when they're being guided by commissions that have a
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 6: clear goal to go the other. Direction you, KNOW i
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 6: don't know.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: HOW i don't know How colorado is going to pull
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: back out of.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: THIS i want to give a silver lining to outdoors
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: in there if there were to. Pass WHEN i lived
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: In South, dakota there was a body of WATER i
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: fished that flirted with the idea of going from the
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: daily limit of four while eyes to. Three naturally people
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: were against. It who, Fish but QUIETLY i was, like,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: well if this does, pass this will be a different
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: definition of success all of a, sudden because if the
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: if the limit is four and you come into the
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: boat dock after a day of fishing and someone's, like
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: how'd you do you? Know catching zero walleye is basically
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: the same as like bringing. Three it's like did you
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: get a limit or? Not, like, yep got my. Limit
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: now if the limit is, less you're more likely to be, like,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: YEAH i got my. Limit what a badass TRAPPER i?
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: AM i, Thought BUT i thought that was like A
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: they were saying that you now have a limit that
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: you can get per. Day do you understand What i'm.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: Saying if the walleye limit was now three instead of,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: four everybody's getting. Limits, Wow look how great ave anglers
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: we are silver Lining steve knows he's coming around the
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: trapper who got a? Limit now that's a. Trapper he's so.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 8: Effective there's gonna be a lot of great. Trappers, yeah
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 8: such a good. Trapper they didn't realize how lucky they
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 8: are not too. Many There's Trouble brun And.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: Yellowstone this is a Very western heavy. Episode we're gonna
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: run with it. Anyway Trouble brune And Yellowstone Wolf world
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: concerning a pack of. Wolves so there's a pack of
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: wolves originally called The Crystal Creek. Pack, okay the pack
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: has been in existence since, reintroduction so it's thought to
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: be the first pack that ever. Coalesced informed of, course
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: all those original wolves in that original pack are all,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: dead but like as a sort of piece of, continuity
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: the pack has kept. Going reminds me of ice living
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: a house where none of the people on the lease
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: lived in the, house but the house was kept chugging
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: along with various people moving in and there was always
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: four or five people in. There none of them were
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: the original people that ever rented the place in the first.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: Place so from the rent from the landlord's, perspective it
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: was like the tenants there was through there's no through.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: Line there's no through. Line they had no idea who
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: was living in that. House just the check came and
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: it was like that. House so the wolf, pack they
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: die and get, replaced but it sort of, exists all.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: Right it was originally Called Crystal Creek. Pack it was
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: renamed After Molly, baby who was the first female director
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: of THE Us fish And Wildlife. Service she actually died
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: of cancer during the time of the, reintroduction so eventually
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: they call this Pack Molly's. Pack, okay here's where this
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: gets kind of. Interesting this pack has historically stayed put
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: in the. Park they spent about ninety five percent of
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: their time in the, park which means because the park's
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: just you, know full of, people park rangers and, whatnot
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: they're habituated to. Humans but they've now drifted out of the.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: Park they've drifted eastward into The Shoshone National forest In.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: Wyoming this is the area that has a lot of cattle.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: Grazing so there's fear now that this beloved park, pack
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: which is like a very like very much a tourist,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: attraction the tourist, attraction has moved out into the. Woods
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: they've moved out into the Wild, okay and there's cattle grazing.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: There so people are anticipating that this pack is going
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: to start getting in trouble for killing.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 6: Cattle is that are they in the like trophy zone.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: During the trophy Zone now That broady brought it. Up i'll, mentioned,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: well you're. Okay wyoming has a area where they manage
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: wolves as a trophy, animal as they made that terms.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: Goofy they manage wolves as a big game animal in
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: the north west corner of the state and the rest
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: of the state they manage them basically a. Vermin they
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: run them, like which Is i'm not a huge fan
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: of that at, all but but they have their, extremes
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: whether they have they have two uni which demonstrate one
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: of them is like sound, management and one of them
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: seems feels extreme to. Me, however it's a fear now
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: that This molly's pack is gonna start getting in trouble
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: for killing. Cattle so the wolf protection it is like
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: the park protectionist people the. Public they're, saying, hey we
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: need to go in and suspend grazing leases Intoshone National
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: forests to prevent these wolves from having a chance to
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: kill a cow and get in. Trouble all, Right so
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: they've tried they've tried to bump they've tried to bump
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: the wolves back into the park because they're dending out
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: of the park in a method they use to bump.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: Wolves is you actually send people in there to kind
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: of hang out near the den site to try to
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: apply a little pressure and get them to nudge back
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: over toward the. Park they managed to move, them but
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: not move them all the. Way and it feels as
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: though as we're speaking right, now right, now they're over
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: still in The National forest and they still got pups
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: in The National. Forest this Is wyoming's Hunt area. One
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: they're in a hunt. Area there's a bad case of
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: canine distemper in the, park which is trimming back the
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: wolves real. Bad So wyoming already reduced the wolf quota
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: in the trophy area by fifty, percent but in this
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: area where This molly's pack is hanging, out there's currently
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: from there's currently planned to be a four wolf hunt
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: quota in that. Area that season is going to run
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: From september fifteenth To december thirty, first again four wolf
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: quota in that. Area so now you've got wolf advocates
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: and even some politicians From Jackson Jackson hole politicians Asking
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: wyoming to actually come in and halt the wolf hunt
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: In unit, one not to protect just some wolves in,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: general but to protect the.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 6: Wolves they, like they're.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: Like it was not that they thought it was okay to,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: hunt but they're, like, yeah we understand there's a wolf hunt,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: there but now that someone might get the ones we
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: know and, like we would like you to close. It
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: they're saying that to The State Game, commission and they're
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: trying to put leverage On Shoshone National forest to say
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: no wolf hunting In Shoshone National forests here because some
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: people's favorite wolves are over. There they've tried this before
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: and it hasn't. Worked but these little, pressures like when
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: some wolves were In, colorado they tried to Get wyoming
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: to come in and, say, okay you can't hunt along
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: The colorado border for fear that you might kill one
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: of those wolves that we all know about In. Colorado
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: The Wolf project director In, yellowstones the guy Named Dan,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: staller he's taking a rather circumspect view on the old,
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: thing he. Said he said to a news agency that
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: he'd hate to see an old alpha female like wolf
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: ten ninety f lose her life to. Hunting that's part
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: of the world of the. Wolf, now it's been part
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: of the world of the wolf for over ten.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 6: Years, yeah and a lot longer before.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: That but they point out the ten ninety f is world.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 6: Famous is there any speculation on why they chose to
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 6: leave the.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: Park there's some people throwing darts at, it but. Speculation
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: i've read some speculations that felt like they kind of
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: whiffed of not really knowing what we're talking. About it
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: was that there's been very mild winners. Here try this going.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: On there's been very mild winners in the, park and
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: so the animals in the park are in very good
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: shape because there's been wild mild winners and so they're
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: too hard for the wolves to catch. There but somehow
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: a little over to the east And Shoshowny National, forests
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: which is subject to the same weather, patterns you don't
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: know they move. Around they move. Around it's an invisible
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: line that they don't recognize or know. About they move huge.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: Distances in, fact in a day's, travel they could be
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: back where they came. From it's just they're not aware
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: of the. Line but it's, like the takeaway on this
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: is there is an inherent danger in the like in
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: naming animals and creating individual personalities around, animals of trying
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: to protect this one and not that. One this is
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: the THING i often preach And i'm talking to When
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: i'm talking about wildlife management to audiences that might not
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: be familiar with the principles of wildlife. Management AND i
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: always use the analogy of And i've used it here,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: before apologies for using. Again imagine that you have an
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: a apple tree and it produces. Apples animal rights people
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: are very interested in the. Apples they take a shine
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: to the individual apples on that. TREE a mature wildlife
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: manager takes a great interest in the tree because if
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: you take care of the, tree it will always crank out.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: Apples animal. Writes people come oblivious to the tree because
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: they're so concerned about the individual, apples and those apples get,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: eaten those apples fall to the ground and die. Inevitably
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: but that tree will crank for, hundreds well it'll crank
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: for a long. Time, yeah decades and decades will. Produce
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: and so here you have people fixating on the apples
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: that they, know the apple growing closest to their, house
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: which they polish and look at and take pictures. Of
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: and the tree is just kind, of you, know not of.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: Concern but when it's you see this thing it happened
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: to when you get, like you'll get like an albino
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: animal in a in an area and people it will
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: put away for people to know That i'm albino, animal
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: and they're, like someone needs to come save the albino
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: animal BECAUSE i know that. One, YEAH i recognize that.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: Individual and it just it creates a. Mess it creates a.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: MESS i can't tell WHAT i hope happens here if
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: they naturally move back into The, HONESTLY i think that
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: that if they naturally move back into the park and
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: it's like crisis, averted you'd be. Disappointed, no it might
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: be the best thing because it's better for Wolf Lover's.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 4: Animolf it might.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: Be the best thing because the state The national, forest
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: and the state cannot. Capitulate this is my. Recommendation you
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: can not.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 6: Capitulate, yeah like we, say the wolves don't know where
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 6: the boundaries of the park, are but there's, boundaries, right
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 6: so like they're not in there, anymore maybe they should
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 6: go back.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: In it's like the state. Cannot i'm asking, them, like do.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: Not you cannot capitulate to the to the to the
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: mob and say, okay we're going to extend part jurisdictions
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: way out into The National.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 6: Forest thing is you can't manage park.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: Animals, yep they. Can't they can't give. In but if
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: if the wolves move, back then the state doesn't need
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: to capitulate and they don't need to deal with with
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: what's gonna happen when someone gets this this famous Lady.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 6: WOLF i think there's some wolf unders already plotting for that.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: SEPTILE i know there, Are AND i don't hate, you
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: JUST i JUST i think that a lot of, WELL
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: i think a lot of, managers federal, level state, level
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: would if they move, back they'll be, like oh my,
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: god they Got, yep thank.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 4: God speaking of potential for really bad, stuff this this
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 4: next segment could be the latest in an ongoing series
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 4: titled Online. Predictions markets Are weird and seem bad for.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 4: Everything these are gambling sites where you can buy shares
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 4: in an. Outcome it's typically yes or no, Question and
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 4: it could be will so and so win an? Election
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 4: will so and so score? Touchdown will it?
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: Rain and Will trump say a certain word.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 4: In, Topeka?
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: Kansas?
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 4: Yep will this disease spread into this other? Country will
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 4: there be a hurricane in the next? Week and it's
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 4: a multi billion dollar. Industry the ones you've probably heard.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: Of our callshi and. Polymarket but there's recently a story
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 4: In High Country news reported By Kylie moore a couple
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 4: of weeks. Ago she wrote about the relationship between wildfires
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 4: and prediction, markets and she looked specifically at the twenty
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 4: twenty FIVE la. Fires people spent one point two million
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 4: dollars betting on twenty different questions about the outcome of those.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 4: Fires it was, like how many acres are the fires
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 4: going to, burn where the fire is going to go
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 4: when they'd be. Contained and in, fact she points, out
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 4: there's another site that's launched Called wildfire With whys instead Of,
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 4: eyes where it's specifically about making predictions on. Fires and
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 4: the problem, here as you might, guess is we spent
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 4: a lot of time sort of as a, society like public, agencies,
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 4: nonprofits all this stuff explaining how people what people need
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 4: to do to prevent man made, wildfires because it's pretty
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 4: easy in the right, conditions for one individual action and
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 4: to have devastating. Consequences and now there's a financial incentive
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 4: for someone to go out and perhaps leave a camp fire.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 4: Smoldering like like anything that people can bet, on someone's
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 4: going to find a way to nudge the outcome that they,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 4: want and so it's just really weird that we live
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 4: in a time now where you could have financial incentive
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 4: for a wildfire. Spreading and it's a big distinction between
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 4: betting ON i looked at what else you can bet
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 4: on and call you last. Night how many inches of
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 4: rain will fall In houston In, july whether or not
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 4: there will be an eight magnitude earthquake In california before
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 4: the end of this, year how many hurricanes will be
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 4: in The. Atlantic, like those are all things that you
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 4: don't have control, manipulated, Right and so there's a reason
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 4: like why it's more problematic for an athlete or a
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 4: referee to bet on sports than it is a guy
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 4: sitting up in the. Bleachers but, again like this is
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 4: out there right, now these markets justify it by saying
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 4: this Isn't they're saying this is a type of crowd sourced,
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 4: forecasting meaning that you can look at polymarket and see
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 4: where the expert money is saying that fire is going to.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 4: Go and so it's actually it's actually provides the most
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 4: accurate information to people because they can crowdsource all, this
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 4: which is obviously like kind of a bullshit Hedge.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah how many billions of? Dollars is are they, making
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 6: like those sites making off of gambling on these?
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 4: Things, YEAH i mean the like there's proposed legislation right
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 4: now that prohibits betting related to, terrorism, assassinations, wars, crimes
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 4: or gambling on people's, deaths because obviously being able to
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 4: gamble on those things creates perverse. Incentives but THERE i
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 4: Bet randall gets hit by a golf.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 6: Club, YEAH i think of it this way perverse in,
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 6: said it's LIKE i Bet randall's gonna get a two
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 6: hundred inch buck this year and then lo and behold.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: He starts haunting his ass.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 4: Off, yeah or he goes IF i, could IF i could,
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 4: bet IF i could bet a million dollars on whether
• 1:37:16

• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: yeah to to make it be that you can like
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: profit by like building up a bet around a wildfire
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: and placing the. Bet you, KNOW i get. It but
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: it's also like a difficult thing to, regulate like for
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: the government to come say, hey no more bet. Making
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: sure what's which they?
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 4: Do they, did they did for a really long.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: Time this administration likes these, markets though they've been like
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 2: generally favorable towards. THEM a recent example of like a
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: better who controlled his own destiny was at the Last
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: Super bowl At Levi stadium In. California there was a
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: streaker within hours of that, happening it came out that
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: he PLACED i think it was a fifty thousand dollars
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: bet on prediction markets that there would be a streaker
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: during The Super. Bowl plus he got like ten buddies
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: to do the same, thing and so they were like
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: millions of dollars exchanged and made because this guy was, like, well,
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: yeah there's gonna be a, Streaker i'm gonna do.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 4: It if you're that passionate about streaking and you've fully
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 4: committed to do, it it would be silly to leave
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 4: that money on the.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: TABLE i don't know. THAT i don't know that that's
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: the government's, problem the Super bowl.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: Streaker maybe.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: Not, Yeah. OKAY i feel like if someone, said, MAN
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: i was betting, on you, know whether it be a
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: streaker at the Super, BOWL i lost some of my
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: hard earned money and NOW i really feel LIKE i
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: should have been protected by the. Government i'd be, like,
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: BUDDY i don't, know, man you're betting on streakers at
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: The Super.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: Bowl the other thing is if you outlaw, it somebody's
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: going to make it a thing, anyway market that the
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: mafia will rise again and make all of its money
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: off of. Betting if if you, know legalized gambling goes,
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: away so like someone's going to figure out how to do,
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 2: it And.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: I'll point OUT i, Mean i'm not totally hipped to current,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: law BUT i think arson is generally legal illegal, anyway,
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: Correct so he's already got one.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 6: Problem, yeah but they might really put the screws to
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 6: you when it comes time to like issue a. Sentence
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 6: if they're, like you know you.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: Did, This, yeah they go to the jury like the
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: son of a bitch bet on? It, yeah the streaker.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: He's breaking the law too when he does.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: It what's the law he's?
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 3: Breaking?
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah all that. ONE i don't know HOW i feel about.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: That should that be illegal probably in certain contexts streaking
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: betting on.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: IT i also think it came out that that guy had,
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: like wait a, minute this dude has has been a
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: streaker before and maybe been well reported, on like this
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: might have been the second time that he.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 6: Come out on. Top, financially just as.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 4: You pointed out with The buffalo, attacks people have been
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 4: streaking long before the age of cell. Phones this is
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 4: just something about.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: It that makes you want to go out trigger. Happy.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: PEA i mean that, metaphorically not just that they like to,
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: shoot they're just a it's hard to control Them. Americans
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: we're out, there, yeah creeping up on.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 8: Wildlife Maybe carl had a.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: Call she bet on the number of bison injuries this
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: year In. Yellowstone and now he just cashed the over, All.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: Right we're. Done we got one hit On Bear's. Ears
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: we'll keep this.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 5: Brief if you hadn't read the, news The trump administration
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 5: slashed the monument protections For Bears. Ears this is originally
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 5: designated twenty sixteen Under President, obama and it was about
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 5: one point four million acre monument under The Antiquities, act
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 5: ostensibly to stop rampant looting across one hundred thousand plus
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 5: acre or one hundred thousand native archaeological. Sites is backed
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 5: by a five tribe, coalition et, cetera et. Cetera trump
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 5: won slashed the monument in twenty, Seventeen Biden unfolier store
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 5: in twenty twenty. One just a few weeks, Ago july,
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 5: thirteen twenty twenty, Six trump two slashed it again down
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 5: to about one hundred and twenty thousand.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 6: Acres and he did that by executive, Word.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 5: Yes by executive, order and it's because of an interpretation
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 5: he feels that or his administration him, whatever feels that
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 5: he can reduce those based on a clause that says
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 5: the Minimum it's like the minimum amount or the least
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 5: amount of space. Necessary the opponents to this say that
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 5: you can create, monuments you can't undo. Monuments so, basically,
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 5: yeah it's. Sorry the clause's smallest area compatible and his
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 5: rationale as it locked up critical mineral. Resources from a hunting,
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 5: perspective it doesn't really change the hunting management that's still
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 5: in the hands Of, utah but it does change the
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 5: access because travel rules in a, monument it restricts you
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 5: to motorize travel strictly on designated, roads protectic cultural ruins and.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 5: Whatnot without the monument, protections you can basically do whatever
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 5: you can do ON blm, land which is a. Lot
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 5: then there's also an opening of a sixty day window
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 5: for potential, mining oil and gas, leasing which will most
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 5: likely happen in that. Area an interesting little the OPPOSITE
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 5: i wouldn't say, opposite but an interesting effect of this
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 5: is that when this whole political kerfuffle went down in
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 5: twenty sixteen With obama and then back and forth pre twenty,
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 5: sixteen visitation was seventy five thousand people. Annually with national
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 5: headlines and all the digital absent, stuff it drove visitation
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 5: of four hundred thousand visitors last.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: Year that's compared to.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 5: So you, know one hundred or, sorry at three hundred percent,
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 5: increase compared to a twenty percent increase across The Utah
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 5: Big five in that same, area and so that's altered game,
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 5: behavior that's increased backcountry.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 4: Pressure it also calls into question the idea that people
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 4: are locked out of their under. Monuments.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: Exactly that's a good pointing, out except for the four The.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah trump's quote was you can't do. Anything you can't go,
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 2: hunting you can't go, fishing you can't do. Anything you
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: can virtually not even walk on.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: It that's that's completely.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: False, yeah that Was trump's quote as he like signed the.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: Paper but that was, like we've Covered we've covered every
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: step of this thing for ten.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 3: Years for ten.
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: Years ten years is a long, time but it's not
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: a long. TIME i think that when when you look at,
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: THIS i think people often lose sight of the fact
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: that this was first put in place Under. OBAMA i
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: think in the in the popular, imagination this was like
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: something dating back To Teddy Roosevelt theodore and this is
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: likely in two, years this is likely to get undone.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: Again and an issue like, THIS i become interested is
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: what does it take to have this stop bouncing The
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: obama put it into, place it was Under trump undid,
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: It biden put it back in, Place trump was undoing it.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: Again it's that executive order.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 6: Thing, Man you'd have to get rid of that and
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 6: have it be a Congressional, yeah they proclaim it to,
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 6: be and then getting it undone a.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: Lot. Yeah part of the, issue and where this winds
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: up plying to, outdoorsman as people follow this debate back
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: and forth is part of the issue is like there's
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: this fear of losing hunting and fishing privileges on the monument.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: STATUS i don't. Know the executive action on this becomes
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: a little bit, silly AND i do wonder what steps
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: it would, take and if it was gonna get like
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: some kind of congressional, Designation i'm guessing that there would
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: need to be a some serious. Gift there would need
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: to be some serious debate and probably compromises. Made, yeah
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: and it's and it might not land At obama's one
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: point six.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 5: Yep and we have a late story coming in of
• 1:47:43
