- 0:49Speaker 3: We're on location. You know.
- 0:50Speaker 4: We've done a few of these shows on location. They're
- 0:53usually weird, you know, but I think most of the
- 0:55locations which choose have been like parties and things where
- 1:00got out of hand, like it just devolves into a
- 1:03man wantchery. Yeah, yeah, we did do a professional one.
- 1:07Speaker 5: Well, this is a beautiful spot Freehouse Brewery.

- 1:29Speaker 6: Probably would have helped a little bit that But am
- 1:32I have given it too much of a manicured appearances.
- 1:36Speaker 3: It's called casts and drafts.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like I think like one of the
- 1:40guys not not this ain't Freehouse's fault. I think one
- 1:42of the guys that were hosting the event. Should just
- 1:44looked at it and yesterday and said, you know what,
- 1:46I'm gonna come out here Lama in the morning.
- 1:47Speaker 3: We're gonna have a talk with him.
- 1:48Speaker 4: I'm knock that down.
- 1:49Speaker 5: So what you're saying is you boys like the turf shape?
- 1:54Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I need it shaved, like you don't
- 1:56want you don't want grass tickling your calves while you're
- 1:59out there trying to cast a flyer on you know, it's.
- 2:02Speaker 3: Just you really don't.
- 2:03Speaker 4: Everybody's in flip flops now you're wading through big tall
- 2:06grab It's just but you know what.
- 2:08Speaker 3: On that note, thanks for having us, Yeah, absolutely, now
- 2:12that we've.
- 2:13Speaker 4: Immediately started talking about the Yeah, thanks for letting us
- 2:17come out here. And by the way, we are going
- 2:20to be judging the flycasting today. I don't think anybody
- 2:22asked us to or wants us.
- 2:24Speaker 3: We are when you hire us to come here, weave
- 2:27you full service. Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna do it all.
- 2:29Speaker 4: Wait, we're getting paid for this.
- 2:30Speaker 6: No, I might need some numbers on these on these contestants.
- 2:34Speaker 3: It's called a text. Hey do you mind if we
- 2:36do our baby at your thing? More like, can we
- 2:39pay you to let us.
- 2:41Speaker 4: If we promised to drink four beers each, can we
- 2:44please come sit on the porch with our equipment? I did.
- 2:46Speaker 6: I do want to say, this is the first time
- 2:47I've ever seen a kayak rigged with a power pole.
- 2:52Speaker 4: All right, unpopular opinion.
- 2:54Speaker 3: That's the little thing that kind of like, I don't know,
- 2:56I don't know how long.
- 2:57Speaker 4: I don't know how long or how loud I should
- 2:59say this, because loud there's obviously kayak people about. You
- 3:02have a microphone at some point I started out on
- 3:06I'm not anti kayaking, but my problem is and my
- 3:09my rant here, my little at some point by boat,
- 3:14like I mean, when you have a fifteen foot long
- 3:16kayak that requires a trailer because you can't pick it
- 3:19up and put it down, and it has more electronics
- 3:22than my boat has on It has a motor because
- 3:25they all have the new electric motors on them. It
- 3:27has to two GPS, you know, slash fish finder screens,
- 3:30it's got a trolling motor. Okay, the drop.
- 3:33Speaker 3: I'm going to say something here and I totally agree
- 3:36with you, but I'm gonna have one piece of equipment
- 3:39though on a kayak it's probably going to be that
- 3:41anchor system. Okay, okay, you want to say and you
- 3:44want to like, okay, I want to fish.
- 3:46Speaker 4: You know we used Cajun anchors back it's just a stick.
- 3:49Speaker 6: Yeah, you just remember sun Acre push stick. Obviously Mike
- 3:56doesn't know about the quote unquote economy has really been.
- 4:02Speaker 4: Seen some of these these like rigged out like six rods. Yeah,
- 4:07the rigged like a fully rigged kayak, like that kayaks
- 4:10panel with all that stuff around. Like a fully rigged kayak.
- 4:13You could get a nice like a nice Ginu or
- 4:16small poling skiff technical poll and skip with a gas
- 4:19motor and a pushbowl for the same price like you're talking,
- 4:22we're talking fifteen thousands. I don't think so. I think
- 4:26at some point, at some point, why when they're that big,
- 4:31like you have to launch, you have to go to
- 4:33the boat ramp, launch in front of everybody, But there's
- 4:35no advantage, Like the advantage was in the and the
- 4:39kayak at the advantage was you got to be able
- 4:42to get to fish that nobody else could get to. Yeah,
- 4:44that's not a thing anymore. These flat skiffs and guinews
- 4:47and it's.
- 4:47Speaker 3: More about like I'm not going to sell out and
- 4:49get the boat. I'm going to show you I can
- 4:50do it without the boat, but.
- 4:53Speaker 4: Did chase the car and get the mindset. This is
- 4:56my right. That's kind of they want to be different.
- 5:01Speaker 3: It's kind of like the same guy that doesn't want
- 5:03to listen to the band that's on the radio. They
- 5:05have to go and search and get and they got
- 5:09to listen to the bands and their headset that they
- 5:10can say they were only like seven people the last
- 5:13night the band was awesome. Where were you?
- 5:15Speaker 4: Yeah, I just don't like the like and I still
- 5:17and and and for those of you out there that
- 5:19are gonna get mad at me for my hating on kayaks,
- 5:21I started out in a Malibu X Factor kayak. That's
- 5:25where I learned to fish and Charleston. Before I had
- 5:27a john but before I had anything else. I had
- 5:29a kayak because it's all I could afford, and I
- 5:31tricked it out to the best of my ability. Didn't
- 5:33have a motor, and this is before the pedal drives,
- 5:35like I actually had to use my arms with a paddle.
- 5:37Speaker 6: Mike, we are definitely gonna get complaints from all twenty
- 5:40of the people.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Listen, No, Doug, We're stelling seven. But I just don't know.
- 5:47Speaker 4: I don't I just don't understand it. It makes no
- 5:50I get I get where you come from your mindset.
- 5:52But at some point, like just by skiff, like I'm
- 5:55looking over there at them too, kayaks, I bet you
- 5:56can get that that guy new Classic that's sitting aside them.
- 5:59But you can get that for about the same price.
- 6:01And I would much rather ride around with And you
- 6:03can take.
- 6:03Speaker 3: A friend of the game, Billfish, and you can take
- 6:07your friends in it, your friends.
- 6:09Speaker 4: You don't have to be alone in your kayak.
- 6:12Speaker 5: I don't know how many of the three of us
- 6:14are fitting in that one.
- 6:14Speaker 4: I didn't say. I didn't tell you all of us.
- 6:16Speaker 6: I said a friend you went, I could probably take
- 6:22that him and my torsa.
- 6:24Speaker 4: I used to run. I used to run two people
- 6:26in my salt marsh, that little fourteen salt marshes. Now,
- 6:28I'm not saying we were comfortable and having a party,
- 6:30but three people in that, oh yeah, more than once.
- 6:33Not Tucker though, no Tucker counts as two people. Yeah,
- 6:38just went in a fat way, more of like a
- 6:40gargantuan man. There's no space to navigate around a way
- 6:43A kind of way. Yeah, the third person to sit
- 6:46down the wall, I had a bean bag. You know,
- 6:47they could just lay down on the bottom and hang
- 6:49out while the other person's on the bout. It worked out.
- 6:52Like I said, once again, you're not going boost cruising
- 6:54and enjoying yourself, but you could fish.
- 6:56Speaker 5: Do you want to talk about fishing today?
- 6:59Speaker 3: Oh?
- 6:59Speaker 4: Yeah, I went so. I finally, so, y'all, I fly fish.
- 7:03Of course we all know that. But but aside from that,
- 7:07I heard, you're a huge fuck. I am also a
- 7:10dirty spinning rod like man, and I love it, and
- 7:13I saw yeah I miss I miss spinneruffish, I miss
- 7:16popping corks. I miss doing it too. But for years
- 7:19I've had technical boats and and here's one complaining against me,
- 7:21and on a technical boat, it's very hard to fish
- 7:24solo in a technical, skinny little boat if you don't
- 7:26have a troller motor, which none of my boats ever
- 7:28had troller motors. So I finally this boat. When I
- 7:30bought it, I knew I was gonna rig with the
- 7:32troller motor. It took me a while to buy all
- 7:34the parts because I'm poor, but I finally got everything.
- 7:37I got the power puck, says some big shout out
- 7:38of power pucks.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Those guys.
- 7:40Speaker 4: It's a new technique for rigging, rigging your troller motor
- 7:45where you don't have to have a plug and you
- 7:46don't have to run a wire. It's all wired into
- 7:48the mount so that when I plug my troller motor
- 7:51to the plug on my boat, it's plugged in. I
- 7:54got to see that. Yeah, it just plugs in and
- 7:55plugs out. So I never have a cord. Power pucks
- 7:59with an X, but power pucks anyway, they're out there.
- 8:02They're cool.
- 8:02Speaker 3: I got a couple of girls I used to call
- 8:03me that, but I.
- 8:04Speaker 4: Bet they did. But anyway, so I got the troll motor.
- 8:07So I went out to day to test all of it,
- 8:08make sure it works, you know, test quote unquote. And
- 8:10my daughter's and call it school, but it's daycare. She's
- 8:13in two year old preschool over there, and just call
- 8:15it school. Yeah, it's just called school. So she goes
- 8:18to school now. And so I took her to school.
- 8:20And then I went fishing, and I busted out some
- 8:22spinning rods and my jig heads and just.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Like instead of like a creek or something.
- 8:26Speaker 4: And I went looking around. I went to some areas
- 8:27I hadn't been to, and and I just like, you know,
- 8:30I'll tell you this. I was always much better at
- 8:32trout fishing than I was at redfish trout fishing. Would
- 8:35you catch? I caught a dozen or so trout? Oh, okay,
- 8:38most of them were No, most of.
- 8:40Speaker 3: Them are bankers.
- 8:40Speaker 4: But I caught I called one probably seventeen eighteen, and
- 8:43I got one. It was a couple of fourteen fifteen,
- 8:47no jig head and a grub, just bouncing along. But
- 8:50I tell you this, like, as a fresh water guy
- 8:52moving to the salt sea, trout were very easy for
- 8:54me to figure out. They're not related to river trout
- 8:56or anything like that. However, they used current and eddie
- 9:00and they're ambush hunters. They act a lot like trout.
- 9:03So if you understand how current works and how fish
- 9:05use current, you can catch sea.
- 9:06Speaker 5: An't they more closely related to redfish?
- 9:09Speaker 4: Then yeah, they're grunt croker species. Yeah, not grunt croker
- 9:13but anyway, Yeah, so, like I've always been, really so,
- 9:15I did I have fish spot. I never fished in
- 9:16my life, but I found I found a bunch of trout.
- 9:18I looked for some red fish early didn't find any
- 9:20really once again places I've never been kind of just
- 9:23I was really just messing around with troll motor, but
- 9:25never found any red fish. Found a whole bunch of trout.
- 9:27But dude, I'm gonna tell you right now, these new
- 9:28troll motors now like I had, the old stuff was
- 9:31just this. I used to have the hand steal and
- 9:35I always thought that was fine. It's it was nuts,
- 9:37yeah yeah, But now I got the remote control and
- 9:39spot lock and ship like that.
- 9:40Speaker 3: You loved it.
- 9:41Speaker 4: So like my you know, you can set like bearings,
- 9:43like I don't have it all set up for like
- 9:45plotting courses and stuff, but I'm not that cool. But
- 9:48you can set a bearing and so you set a
- 9:50compass bearing and it'll hold you on it. So it
- 9:52just makes old micro adjustment so you don't have to
- 9:53touch it, and every once in a while if you're
- 9:55a little too close to the bank or whatever, you
- 9:56bump it. But then like I hook a fish, you know,
- 9:58I'm by myself, and so i'd hook a fi. I
- 10:00just reached down and hit spot lock and it would
- 10:01hold me right there like dropping an anchor, and then
- 10:03I'd around.
- 10:05Speaker 6: Hey, we have a new contestant rolling up. He brought
- 10:07his own pool stick to the pool tournament.
- 10:10Speaker 4: He's got his own ride.
- 10:11Speaker 5: He's rigged up two piece at Iggy. Yeah, Iiggy looks
- 10:15like he means business.
- 10:16Speaker 3: That old boy came and saw us Friday night at Martin's.
- 10:19I don't know if you were there or not, but
- 10:20cut us a whole bucket of beer.
- 10:22Speaker 4: Do you want to describe.
- 10:24Speaker 3: About Well, yeah, freehouse brot.
- 10:27Speaker 5: We kind of mentioned it, kind of what's going on?
- 10:29Speaker 3: Yeah, So cast and drafts event. They do this like
- 10:31once every three months.
- 10:32Speaker 4: Really cool.
- 10:34Speaker 3: It's a whole new like fleet of people kind of
- 10:37like we were. Remember yeah, remember we do events the
- 10:40new the New US, and it was like a group
- 10:43of fifty people that always come there. Well, this is
- 10:45that new group of a new generation that I didn't
- 10:47even recognize when I came here last one.
- 10:50Speaker 4: I'm looking around.
- 10:51Speaker 5: So these guys get out here.
- 10:52Speaker 6: They're out in the yard at this brewery and they've
- 10:55got a bunch of ranges set up. I guess they're
- 10:58plycasting doing something deep competition, yeah.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Which is very annoying. Yeah, we got the Ashley River
- 11:07right here in a flat flat that we actually fish
- 11:09here a lot.
- 11:09Speaker 4: Yeah, and we got and there's other companies here too.
- 11:12We got marshware on yeah the uh yeah, had to
- 11:18spind the feather. We got Focused fly over there, time Flies, we.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Got a new apparel brain here. I was walked up
- 11:24to them kind of like reminded me of me twelve.
- 11:26Speaker 6: Years Yeah, Heroes on the water, don't forget about that,
- 11:29Heroes in the water.
- 11:30Speaker 3: Great little I walked up to these guys that I go, so,
- 11:33what's going on here? What we got y'all got here?
- 11:35And he goes, oh, just peril brand. We we we
- 11:38make a lot of movies and films around here, and
- 11:41we're just trying to make and T shirts. I was like,
- 11:43it all just knocked me in the head. I'm like, well,
- 11:45that's exactly what we were doing.
- 11:47Speaker 4: Nobody, Yeah, nobody has done that yet, but I will say, uh,
- 11:52nobody's doing it right now? Really, I mean, I mean
- 11:54not like so, I guess everything that's old becomes new again. Yeah,
- 11:58I mean, and just to be ready, whoever's behind that
- 12:00camera all else journal can tell you about the hate
- 12:02that's coming your way, Well, it's going to get hot,
- 12:07get hot.
- 12:07Speaker 3: I knew that we were doing something right, it might
- 12:09run out.
- 12:09Speaker 4: All these all these guys have been fly fish for
- 12:11two whole years now are going to tell you you're ruining
- 12:13their fishing and showed.
- 12:15Speaker 3: We were doing something right their spot. Dug started getting
- 12:18a lot of hell, and will Abbott made a cover
- 12:20of fly fisherm a magazine and I have the thunder
- 12:23and Lightning in the back. Tucker, Mike Burner and maybe
- 12:28Chris or something. That was like, Doug's doing it right.
- 12:34He's simply making films he likes to do, but yet
- 12:36he's ruining.
- 12:38Speaker 6: The one thing I said to everybody is when I
- 12:40started getting so much hate, I was like, well, at.
- 12:42Speaker 4: Least I know people are watching exactly like.
- 12:45Speaker 3: I got a little bit of it too. And the
- 12:46thing is, like, how many people were emailing you? Hey,
- 12:50what god should I get when I get that?
- 12:51Speaker 5: When I came out, they still do that.
- 12:55Speaker 4: I made a full on movie and nobody ever hated
- 12:57me for it.
- 12:58Speaker 5: Ever, Well, you were had I had ahead ahead.
- 13:02Speaker 4: Of That's the thing. I think that was the problem. Yeah,
- 13:04well I was before the big rush, I think because
- 13:06like we made our movie back when it was still
- 13:08like there weren't that many It's on YouTube yeah, Carolina
- 13:14Reds on YouTube. It's it's old. We made it in
- 13:17like two thousand and eight. Yeah, I don't know, but yeah,
- 13:20but back then, like you really could, like you could
- 13:22go all day on a flood tide. See one other
- 13:24skiff maybe. Yeah, And I'm talking like in popular areas.
- 13:28It probably parts. I don't think so, because I don't
- 13:30give myself that much credit. It's not it's not that
- 13:32I did it any fame, but I definitely don't think
- 13:36that it was. It was on the well. Yeah, so
- 13:39that year we split, Yeah, we split the film tour
- 13:41with Brad Bowe and Brad Bowen made his muskie film
- 13:45that Zero to Hero and he did, but they only
- 13:49showed the muskie film like West of the Mississippi, and
- 13:52then they showed the Redfish film like East of the
- 13:54Mississippi or something. There was some sort of weird delineation,
- 13:57so we were only seen like on half the country, gotcha,
- 14:01unless the unless companies like when people you know, like
- 14:03fly shops could privately host you know, viewings, they could
- 14:06pick which one they wanted. So I don't know how many.
- 14:09I doubt anybody out in Seattle, Washington was like, oh,
- 14:11let's watch the Redfish one instead of the Musky one.
- 14:14Speaker 3: But what the funny thing is, that's actually the mentality
- 14:16because when I lived in Wyoming, no one wanted to
- 14:19see trout films. They wanted to see saltwater, you know,
- 14:22because you're you want to see something you don't do
- 14:24all the time.
- 14:25Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's I mean, that was That was really
- 14:27when I met you, like in person, was on the
- 14:29film tour. Because we were buzzing around, I.
- 14:31Speaker 3: Hit like you still had mohawk.
- 14:32Speaker 4: Yeah, I did have them.
- 14:34Speaker 3: It was kind of growing out a little.
- 14:35Speaker 4: Yeah. Well the mohawk I just I got. I'd get
- 14:37squirrely and shaven in there randomly. You just never knew
- 14:39when I was gonna pop.
- 14:40Speaker 3: Told the story many times that we got.
- 14:43Speaker 4: Yeah, that was going be Austin. Ben also was screaming
- 14:48at the taco cabana lady through the microphone.
- 14:50Speaker 3: It was off, Ben's gonna call me. Can you bleep
- 14:53my name out? God?
- 14:57Speaker 4: If we had beeped everything all that night, it was.
- 15:00It has been one.
- 15:02Speaker 5: I'm getting entrance watching some of these flycasters. There's some
- 15:06really good guys. This guy right here, this guy here
- 15:08is an angry cat.
- 15:09Speaker 4: Yeah, he's aggressive angry like.
- 15:11Speaker 3: We could kind of be those remember when we did
- 15:13the fake like we're watching golf but watching a fly
- 15:16fishing tournament, and we'd kind of talk about their cat.
- 15:20Should we grade some cast?
- 15:23Speaker 4: Well, the guy on the outside over there with Randy, Okay,
- 15:25he definitely looks like a beginner.
- 15:27Speaker 3: Yep.
- 15:28Speaker 4: That guy in the teal.
- 15:29Speaker 3: Shirt, that's Chris.
- 15:30Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got a good shirts. Really aggressive aggress he's
- 15:34carrying too much line. I mean, you wouldn't do that
- 15:36on the.
- 15:37Speaker 5: Like, yeah, slowly smooth and smoothest fast.
- 15:40Speaker 3: The group of the quad, the covey if you will,
- 15:43they're just kind of sitting there standing.
- 15:45Speaker 6: Yeah, they're having a long conversation about scientific anglers versus Yes,
- 15:51they love the red grips that angler.
- 15:55Speaker 5: Okay, look look we got really styling.
- 15:58Speaker 4: And then he widdened that loop out.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Yeah well he did.
- 16:01Speaker 4: I don't know what the point of that one that
- 16:03that's the finger point though, two points, dropping it, dropping it. Yeah,
- 16:08he's started his target shooting now.
- 16:09Speaker 3: But the cast I can't stand that people do is
- 16:12the finger on the handle.
- 16:13Speaker 4: Well, that's guarantee your point. That's a trout. That's a trap.
- 16:17Speaker 3: I've seen some older guys transfer it like get low
- 16:21on my last I hate that. I love that because
- 16:23I love making fun of you about it. You look
- 16:26like you're coming down for sh Get it now.
- 16:29Speaker 4: I mean I do some weird stuff with the rod sometimes.
- 16:31If I got to do, like if you're trying to
- 16:32tuck a like curve of fly or flip a fly
- 16:35like a hook cast or what like, there's some weird movements.
- 16:39I'll do something my wrist. But Jim speaking, I'm pretty clean.
- 16:42Speaker 5: Guys, Guys, we have been young from fly, barbecue.
- 16:45Speaker 3: Walking red carpet, been young, young everybody. He's trying to
- 16:52get in here.
- 16:53Speaker 4: We really I got the ship seat. I'm looking at
- 16:55some kudzoo over here in the corner. And you guys
- 16:57got like the look down on the lane.
- 16:58Speaker 3: Well, you could move over to the end if you want. Yeah, yeah,
- 17:01something we got.
- 17:03Speaker 6: What's up, buddy, been young, everyone young, the barbecue pet
- 17:07master himself.
- 17:09Speaker 5: Yeah, how you doing now?
- 17:13Speaker 3: We're sitting at talking about it right now.
- 17:15Speaker 4: We're sucking it up right now. We got that's it, man.
- 17:19Speaker 3: When they when they have us next time, Hey, could
- 17:21you guys just not make fun of the people that
- 17:23are it'd be nice.
- 17:26Speaker 4: Yeah, we're like, okay, we just won't come.
- 17:27Speaker 3: We haven't really made fun.
- 17:29Speaker 4: Yeah, we're just judging.
- 17:30Speaker 5: There's a lot of earnest casters.
- 17:32Speaker 4: Watching judging, always always watching, always judging.
- 17:34Speaker 3: Look at the baby, Doug, Doug, then go get a
- 17:36beverage and to sit in on it with us if
- 17:39you want.
- 17:39Speaker 7: Ye.
- 17:41Speaker 4: Freshened up man.
- 17:43Speaker 3: So I don't know that. I got tons of topics
- 17:46for later. I think we might be just talking to
- 17:47a lot of people tonight too.
- 17:48Speaker 4: Yeah. I think we should take advantage of having people around,
- 17:51you know, that's that's part of the deal here.
- 17:53Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess one of my topics was when is
- 17:56the last time you bought what you would call a
- 18:00new fly rod, something that just came out like everyone
- 18:03thought they had to have it. I'm not counting it.
- 18:06Like if you were working in the shop and you
- 18:08get a discount, that's fine.
- 18:09Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, yeah, it didn't have to be full price. Yeah, honestly, honestly,
- 18:14last a new one.
- 18:16Speaker 3: Like dude, I haven't the new high Well.
- 18:18Speaker 4: The problem is, like the last few like new Rods
- 18:20I've gotten have been built for me, so that doesn't
- 18:22really count.
- 18:23Speaker 5: I bought the sky the lad Yeah, I remember that.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Honestly, pay for it, like without nine hundred bucks or something.
- 18:32Maybe Meridian is a nice one. That's one of the
- 18:34high end ones.
- 18:34Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, that was four S. That was what came out. Yes,
- 18:39I love Yeah, speaking of S worst, I think that's
- 18:41my seven weight S four S. I think it's the last.
- 18:44Speaker 3: I got that on pro twelve weights of S four S.
- 18:47Speaker 4: Yeah, I got that pro deal, but like I got
- 18:50a demo. It wasn't even like a production. I got
- 18:52it from the rep kind of thing. Yeah, but yeah
- 18:55that was S four S. So was that circa twenty twelve?
- 18:59Speaker 3: Yeah, teams there.
- 19:01Speaker 5: That used to be the biggest thing. Like that new ride.
- 19:05Speaker 4: That was something I like clamored for.
- 19:07Speaker 3: I was like, oh yeah, I just didn't one new
- 19:10piece of gear each year.
- 19:11Speaker 4: Yeah, it's real. I'm in real mode now because one
- 19:14of my buddies built me a twelve weight. I have
- 19:17my eleven weight. Oh I take that back. I did
- 19:19buy an eleven weight last year. I forgot. I bought
- 19:21that Scott Sage salt. No, not the top end of
- 19:27the salt.
- 19:28Speaker 3: It's the big rid right now, No idea.
- 19:32Speaker 4: The new Orbs and that's a new one. Yeah, and
- 19:35then the new and Hardy made a new one.
- 19:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I have heard that new Harte.
- 19:41Speaker 4: That's one really, but they're really hard to get fine,
- 19:43like you can't find them. Apparently they're really hard. And
- 19:45then inter Exes. I think they've just built a new
- 19:49interact from g Limis. But yeah, that new that sage.
- 19:53I didn't buy the high end one, it's the one
- 19:55right below the salt. I bought like the mid grade
- 19:58because it's an eleven weight, so I only use it
- 19:59for tar and I didn't need it.
- 20:01Speaker 3: Do you really need finesse with tarpin? No?
- 20:03Speaker 4: I just like the way like honestly, two things. One,
- 20:07the the real I've been using for my twelve weight
- 20:09for the last few years is technically it's rated for twelve,
- 20:12but I don't like a twelve way line on it.
- 20:13It's a little small. It's the ccf X ten or
- 20:19ten twelve or whatever it is, and so I wanted
- 20:23eleven weight just so I a downsize the line and
- 20:25just be a little more company. That's a super nice
- 20:27lightweight tarpain setup that I use if the fish aren't
- 20:30real big or whatever. But my buddy just built me.
- 20:33I borrowed your big monster really for my twelve which
- 20:38I'm gonna buy. I'm gonna get one of those big
- 20:39nautiluses for But my buddy built me this. He built
- 20:43me a rod.
- 20:43Speaker 3: I can it's like a winch for a shrimp boat.
- 20:46Speaker 4: Well, he built me this rod and he built it
- 20:48on a blank from New Zealand. I can't remember the company.
- 20:50I'm terrible that but don't they make rod blanks. They
- 20:52make them for all kinds of companies. But it's a
- 20:54beautiful rod. And he did it with like some copper
- 20:56accents and it's really well done. Like I'm a big
- 20:59fan cast nice. But it's twelve weight. It's a broomstick,
- 21:01you know that. That's what they are. But he called it.
- 21:04They named it the copper head claymore.
- 21:07Speaker 5: That's written down the side of it.
- 21:09Speaker 4: So I just want a big I'm gonna that's my
- 21:11new gear desire is I want to get enough custom
- 21:15another customer nodels. But again one see if you can
- 21:17do like copper accents and just have like just a
- 21:19big just a beeft stick, just like an aggressively large stick.
- 21:24For reasons, I don't really need it.
- 21:27Speaker 5: I just want to like here, here's a question.
- 21:30Speaker 6: Would you rather fight a gorilla with oversized boxing gloves
- 21:34or catch a tarping or ugly stick?
- 21:37Speaker 4: Catch tarp stick, because you can't just say you can't
- 21:44break it all, like you got it.
- 21:45Speaker 3: But people have done that. I don't know. I haven't
- 21:48heard of anyone.
- 21:53Speaker 4: I think the big thing about rods and gear, though,
- 21:55is at some point, when you get far enough down
- 21:57the road, you just don't need ship. And I tell
- 22:00my wife, that's what you learned. My wife's always like
- 22:02she's always need to buy something. She's like, oh, I
- 22:04gotta get a new this, or I need to do that,
- 22:06and then she always buys some cheap crab and she's
- 22:09I'm like, I don't you know, I never buy anything.
- 22:11I'm like, I'm like that puffy jacket, that patagony buffy
- 22:14jacket that I wear every year.
- 22:17Speaker 5: It's fifteen years old exactly.
- 22:19Speaker 4: And it's got some tears, and I should I should
- 22:21get it repaired a little bit, but yeah, but I'm
- 22:23not gonna. I don't care. Like I paid three hundred
- 22:25dollars for it or whatever they cost. But I'm like,
- 22:27I've had it fifteen years.
- 22:28Speaker 3: I never had to replace it.
- 22:30Speaker 4: The same thing goes for fly gear.
- 22:31Speaker 3: And and uh, it's first of all, it's just fun
- 22:33to buy gear and it's fun. Yeah, I'm not mad
- 22:35at you don't need it. You have something that probably
- 22:38works time. Yeah, but you know, my two trout Rods
- 22:41five and six plats are still rpls from nineteen ninety seven.
- 22:45I don't feel the need to replace those. And iron
- 22:49and then that's from Yeah, oh that's a great robe. Yeah,
- 22:53that was a nice There was a guy I remember
- 22:55living when I lived in Wyoming, there was a guy
- 22:57that came in the shop all the time and he
- 23:00was I mean we still we had great gear at
- 23:02the time, you know, early two thousand stuff, and he
- 23:04was still using like a Berkeley like graphied Walmart rod
- 23:09scientific like that guy crushed fish. Know, he's just he's
- 23:15setting his ways. He didn't he likes what he has.
- 23:17And so you know, you got two different kinds of people, Yeah,
- 23:21because that want the gear and the kind that got
- 23:23what they need.
- 23:24Speaker 4: And I really like gear. The problem is I bought
- 23:26all my reels are custom nautiluses. All my rods are
- 23:29you know, they're the rods that I like.
- 23:31Speaker 5: Mike, do you have a lot of custom vision gear
- 23:33to have a lot.
- 23:33Speaker 4: Of custom fishing gear. But that's the problem is like
- 23:35once you get to once you get there, unless somebody,
- 23:38unless I got like some smoking deal on like a
- 23:40Charlton or like a you know, make a makeo or
- 23:44it's something that like that, that truly does kind of
- 23:47trump what I already have. Like as much as I loved,
- 23:49don't be wrong, I drool over new gear on the
- 23:51magazine stuff, and I would love it. If I had
- 23:53free money, I'd just buy all kinds of ship for
- 23:54no reason. But I just I can't. You know, it's
- 23:58hard to justify buying a new reel a rod. I'm
- 24:00like when I already have what I consider top of
- 24:02the line stuff, like I don't need to.
- 24:04Speaker 5: My error was Bowhunt. Oh yeah that was real dumb.
- 24:08Speaker 3: Yeah that's a whole gear. So when we were that's
- 24:17when we were down there fishing with Mangam And then
- 24:18he reminded me when when I fished with him in
- 24:21the Seychelles day one, he had you know, he's an
- 24:26orbus make up guy, so yeah, that's just what he
- 24:29uses because he works with US companies. So he had
- 24:33you know, four fucking rods and all four of them
- 24:35had the cool looking makos and we hit some weird
- 24:38wave where one of them just fucking went out, oh
- 24:41my god, and we just watched it go about twenty feet.
- 24:44Because that water's crystal clear, I would have gone girl heads.
- 24:48And at one point it vanishes, but you kind of
- 24:51see where it went landed and yeah, and Manga goes
- 24:57well and the guy goes, no, you want to go
- 25:00get it? And he goes no. Meng is like, no,
- 25:02we're not doing that. And I guarantee you that old
- 25:05boy when we went when they took us all in
- 25:06for dinner, he went out there.
- 25:08Speaker 5: Ye, yes, that He's like, he's like man overboard.
- 25:11Speaker 3: And Ingham knows too. He's like, hell, yeah he did.
- 25:13Because if I was him, I woulded.
- 25:14Speaker 4: To, you know, because that's five grand laying on the
- 25:17bottom of the ocean out there.
- 25:19Speaker 3: I can't believe he just said he well, he didn't
- 25:21want to put that guy through the pressure of yes,
- 25:23I'm gonna make you dive down there and grab it,
- 25:25you know what I mean.
- 25:26Speaker 4: And honestly, it's not five grand to him. No, I mean,
- 25:28because it's a phone call and or an email, it's
- 25:32not like.
- 25:32Speaker 5: He was easy to get.
- 25:33Speaker 3: So if like someone from making Orbs is listening to this,
- 25:36it's not like Mangham was like, oh fuck it, I
- 25:38don't need that, you know, no, no, no, no no, like
- 25:40it was in the fucking ocean. Yeah. And whether or
- 25:42not that guy went and got it, who knows, but
- 25:44I bet he did.
- 25:44Speaker 4: I would have I would I would have hit that
- 25:46man overboard on my GPS.
- 25:47Speaker 6: But it's kind of like that story where that guy
- 25:50found that Rolex some mariner down there for like thirty
- 25:54years and it was still ticking.
- 25:56Speaker 5: I mean that reel would probably still work.
- 26:00Speaker 3: Clean it up, do you Yeah?
- 26:02Speaker 4: Well that means like door it's sealed. Yeah, we ain't
- 26:05gonna hurt none to hurt that thing. We should we
- 26:07take a break? Yeah, I think it's break. It feels
- 26:08like a nice segue into a break. Should we go
- 26:11out there and grab some rods, show these boys what's up?
- 26:13Oh man, what's up?
- 26:15Speaker 3: Let's look we'll have a little Yeah.
- 26:20Speaker 4: Oh lord, I'm gonna go get a lawnmowers.
- 26:23Speaker 3: What I'm gonna do when we got there?
- 26:25Speaker 4: Weed a whacker?
- 26:27Speaker 5: That hotness you got that ant, it's going very hot?
- 26:30Speaker 4: Then blown you you're done blown you woofer will I
- 26:41got years of living by and have at you.
- 26:45Speaker 3: Ain't never been a gambler.
- 26:47Speaker 8: Because I was always bound to loose.
- 26:50Speaker 4: Not buddies. They drink liquor sometimes alcohol. I got a
- 26:55girl who don't like that at all.
- 26:58Speaker 3: Well you knew would. Yeah, that grass is annoying on
- 27:06the legs.
- 27:07Speaker 9: Yeah, this in general, Tickle tickle, it's a good one.
- 27:23Speaker 8: Got a hold.
- 27:32Speaker 1: I got a sweet little body.
- 27:33Speaker 3: Is you're rolling in the cut?
- 27:42Speaker 4: All right, we're back, We're back, I went. I guess
- 27:46I was told I was critiqued on my cast.
- 27:48Speaker 3: Now, well it wasn't on this.
- 27:52Speaker 4: I just couldn't help himself.
- 27:53Speaker 5: He had to get out there in the field and
- 27:55the tall grass.
- 27:56Speaker 4: Well, Randy wanted me to cast Randy from Fan the
- 27:59Feathers and Er feather great guy. And we've known Randy.
- 28:03Paul's known him. He was a rep for years for
- 28:05a lot of companies then, so I've known Randy for
- 28:07twenty plus years at least. But anyway, Randy, he wanted
- 28:11me to cast a new Saint Croix rod and I
- 28:13told him, and I'll tell the radio in the world,
- 28:15it's been a long time since the Saint Croix fly
- 28:17rod impressed me. That's not a bad stick. I don't
- 28:20remember the name of it. It was something from Saint Croix.
- 28:24Saint Croix the newest saltwater stick. And Randy agreed that
- 28:27he also has not been, you know, not been super
- 28:30impressed by Saint Croix offerings in the last few years.
- 28:32But that was a nice little stick. It was a
- 28:33nice A wait.
- 28:35Speaker 5: Real, it was.
- 28:39Speaker 4: You know you know what?
- 28:40Speaker 3: Yes, this is how old?
- 28:42Speaker 4: Yeah, this is this is how old I am and
- 28:45how old we are. And I remember the used to
- 28:46do tip flex, mid flex, full flex. Yeah, instead of
- 28:51did they do that? Do we still do that? Do
- 28:54they still label? It was like tip flex, We just
- 28:57I haven't bought a brand new rod because and then
- 29:00they went because for a while they went to fast.
- 29:01Speaker 3: And their letter code names, they're like letter A letter
- 29:06is tip another.
- 29:08Speaker 4: Well, that's a tip, that's a tip flex, that's a
- 29:10that's a very rigid, but nice, nice casting stick.
- 29:14Speaker 6: Not to get off five vision bits. Something I've been
- 29:16wanting to talk about for a while.
- 29:18Speaker 5: How good is Martin's barbecue?
- 29:21Speaker 3: Well enough, we went to Chase Barton here, where did
- 29:25you come from? All about it? I'll tell you I'm
- 29:28not going to talk right in that thing.
- 29:30Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie. The other day I stopped in
- 29:32the little test check check one too.
- 29:35Speaker 3: I like that.
- 29:35Speaker 4: Yeah, we stopped there after a flood tied that, not
- 29:38me and old Ben and uh, I think Rooney was
- 29:39with us, and Uh, I don't stopped there, but I
- 29:45was salivating him. You're ruining the flow here. You want
- 29:51to write, I want to write, Paul, want you stopped
- 29:55there with old Ben and new Rooney? Yeah, and and
- 29:57the the only thing I can think of, Like I
- 29:59was parking my boat out run everything. I was like
- 30:00in there. I was like, I didn't even have to
- 30:02think before I walked in the door. I was like,
- 30:04I'm eating a catfish sandwich.
- 30:05Speaker 5: Oh man, that catfish is so good.
- 30:08Speaker 4: I mean, your barbecue is great, don't be wrong, but
- 30:10that catfish sandwich, now it is Chase.
- 30:11Speaker 5: What is your favorite thing in Martin see turkey?
- 30:15Speaker 3: Okay? Nice?
- 30:16Speaker 7: I mean, when you're eating barbecue six days a week,
- 30:18you gotta yeah, you gotta stay away from.
- 30:19Speaker 4: The technically porks the other white meat. I don't know
- 30:24if you know that? Is it really? The commercials?
- 30:27Speaker 3: Yes? I remember the commercials mate show you technically a
- 30:30pit master?
- 30:31Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I would class I'll claim that is.
- 30:36Speaker 3: There's not like a schooling or grade that you get
- 30:38one day where you like get the I'm a pitmaster
- 30:41now like what or is it just basically the street
- 30:44cred thing.
- 30:45Speaker 7: I think it's more the time you spend in a
- 30:48really hot, hot pit. I'm not smoking the fat.
- 30:51Speaker 3: Okay, maybe not ten thousand hours, but at least a
- 30:54thousand hours and a smoky hot pit and your pitmaster.
- 30:57Speaker 4: Well, so like along those lines though, like you're the
- 31:00thing I have to anybody in the culinary industry to
- 31:02talk to you right now? Uh, Like, what's the difference
- 31:04between a chef and like I cook? Like can you
- 31:06just call yourself a chef or do you have to
- 31:08like go to chefs?
- 31:09Speaker 3: I think it's along the same.
- 31:11Speaker 4: It's very it's a good question. It's very loose.
- 31:15Speaker 7: You know, if you're gonna if you're gonna take that
- 31:18title and claim it, then good for you. But I think, uh,
- 31:22it's other chefs would decide whether or not you are.
- 31:27Speaker 4: Okay, that's circle you're in, so you can tell other
- 31:30people that all you want, But the your your mill.
- 31:32You will decide what you are. French word, your.
- 31:35Speaker 3: Middle you have your own thing.
- 31:40Speaker 4: Mike has that GENII qual Oh my god, the French Olympics.
- 31:47We're just on.
- 31:49Speaker 3: I've got Well, it's a conversation that well, okay, it's
- 31:54not real barbecue.
- 31:55Speaker 6: Ask, well, you can't do that, you can't just come on.
- 31:58Speaker 3: Well you know the story. I'll make it really short.
- 32:01I've got a friend that's going to Europe and she's
- 32:04not taking someone with her, And I said, do you
- 32:06think you might take someone? And she goes. It depends
- 32:08on by then if I have a lover or not.
- 32:10Speaker 4: Oh, is she gonna eat barbecue? Wash?
- 32:14Speaker 3: I told you you didn't have anything to do with barbecue.
- 32:16Speaker 4: I've been to Europe. Not really good on the barbecue.
- 32:18Speaker 3: It's so funny to hear that word. Anyway, back to
- 32:23q so pitmaster, Well.
- 32:26Speaker 4: Let's let the man pitch his business a little bit. So
- 32:28Martin's Barbecue. Unless you live here, you may not know
- 32:31what that is. But like, uh, tell us a little
- 32:33about Martin's and how you got involved.
- 32:35Speaker 7: And yeah, yeah, we're we're based out of Nashville, Tennessee.
- 32:38Pat Martin started back in two thousand and six. He's
- 32:42a real kind of evangelist for whole hog barbecue cooking.
- 32:46It's something you don't see a whole lot of anymore.
- 32:49You know, we're blessed in Charleston to have a lot
- 32:51of barbecue options and people who do it really great,
- 32:55But for the most part, you don't see a whole
- 32:57lot of whole hog barbecue cooking because it is not
- 33:01financially sound to do so. Just the price of price
- 33:05per pound for a hog is more than the shoulder,
- 33:09but the amount of wood, the amount of labor, everything
- 33:11that goes behind it, your you're the cost of cooking
- 33:15a hog is tremendously more than just cooking a shoulder or.
- 33:19Speaker 4: A butt or a picnic.
- 33:21Speaker 7: So, yeah, we really pushed the whole hog barbecue.
- 33:25Speaker 5: Yeah, I got into it.
- 33:27Speaker 7: I was fine dining and upscale chef and cooking for
- 33:33most of my career and then moved down to South
- 33:35Carolina and really got into the barbecue culture. It was
- 33:40kind of a hit thing at the time when I
- 33:42was getting into it, in the two thousand and eleven
- 33:45twenty ten, it was in magazines, was on TV, and
- 33:49so I was doing a lot of it at my
- 33:50house and then I met up with my business partner
- 33:53now who had a place, and was really kind of
- 33:59captivated by how barbecue in the South is something that
- 34:02most people have a connection to. It's a story, it's
- 34:05a you know, it can be a cooking method, it
- 34:07can be a sauce, it can be a type of meat.
- 34:10There's it's a very kind of loose word barbecue, you.
- 34:13Speaker 3: Know, very romantic in that way it is.
- 34:15Speaker 5: Yeah, and when you're in the South.
- 34:18Speaker 7: I'm from Maryland originally, and we had some barbecue there,
- 34:20and what we do there that is I never considered
- 34:24barbecue pit beef, and and the way we do our
- 34:29chickens up there is technically barbecue, but I never really
- 34:33associated that until I got down here, and you know,
- 34:36I was just really excited to kind of get the
- 34:38opportunity to cook a food that people have a strong
- 34:42tie to.
- 34:43Speaker 5: They have stories too.
- 34:44Speaker 7: People all the time tell me about how their grim
- 34:47father used to cook it a certain way, or they
- 34:49would have these family guess and.
- 34:52Speaker 3: It's almost like the thing everyone can do. But you know,
- 34:56places like your place is kind of take you to
- 34:57that next level next people are aspiring.
- 35:00Speaker 4: Well that was that was kind of along the ones
- 35:01where I was going, was like, how many people come
- 35:03up to you because like I have a pellet grill,
- 35:05Paul's got pellet grill? You got I think you got
- 35:07one too, doesn't matter.
- 35:08Speaker 1: I have.
- 35:09Speaker 4: But nowadays with the accessibility to barbecue, because once again,
- 35:12everybody has a story. So I grew up in North Carolina,
- 35:14which pig is king in North Carolina, it's big barbecue area,
- 35:18and we will barbecue is a special event, like other
- 35:22than if you had a restaurant nearby, which we really
- 35:24didn't have a good one surprisingly, but like church, like
- 35:28we would do a dinner on the grounds. I don't
- 35:29know if y'all know about that, but like you'd have
- 35:31a revival or something, do you have dinner on the grounds.
- 35:34So we would do pigs. So we'd do a bunch
- 35:36of butts, usually on a smoker, so somebody'd bring their
- 35:38smoker in. You come in at three in the morning,
- 35:40me and my dad, and my dad wasn't the one
- 35:42cooking it. It was usually somebody else, but we would help
- 35:44out with you know, the burn barrel and the coals
- 35:46and all that shit. And you're there at three in
- 35:48the morning until so you can have it for lunch.
- 35:50Speaker 3: You know.
- 35:50Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, so now I put a butt on
- 35:54my Pellot grill and walk the hell away and come
- 35:56back in twelve hours and it's tod I have barbecue,
- 35:59you know, like do you have like how do you
- 36:01feel about that as somebody who puts the effort in
- 36:03and makes what you make? To know, you know, how
- 36:07do you deal with guys like me and Paul who
- 36:10I can do that too, or or maybe not even that,
- 36:13but it's like want your input on what but I
- 36:15don't feel like it's the same thing. Do you feel
- 36:16like they're in the same class as like.
- 36:18Speaker 7: I mean, if you're if you're making color barbecue at
- 36:20your house and then yeah you're I mean that's awesome.
- 36:23Speaker 4: I do feeld.
- 36:25Speaker 7: I spend a lot of time fielding questions, you know,
- 36:27I'm I'm thinking about doing this, especially with our regulars
- 36:29who like I have a good report with, Well, ask me,
- 36:32I just bought this cut of meat, what do you
- 36:34think I should do? And so I love to kind
- 36:36of be in part some wisdom. It's a fun thing
- 36:38to talk about, but it's just like any other type
- 36:41of food. I love it when people are cooking themselves.
- 36:44I love it when they're coming to the restaurant and
- 36:46paying my bills for me. But oh yeah, yeah, food
- 36:49is very.
- 36:50Speaker 4: Oh no matter how much barbecue I cook in my house,
- 36:52I still eat barbecue out at restaurants like pretty much.
- 36:55That's like my main restaurant option is like a barbecue
- 36:58or think like his barbecue. No, it doesn't and and
- 37:02it shouldn't. But the what I guess more of a
- 37:05I was got, like how many I'm certain you guys have.
- 37:08You go to parties, you get to friends, and in
- 37:09the South, a lot of times barbecue. That's what people
- 37:12somebody like me with a pellet girl that's made their barbecue.
- 37:14Speaker 5: If someone else is cooking for me, I'm gonna love it.
- 37:18Speaker 4: People like hand you a plate that just stare you
- 37:20down as you eat it, Like, but what's what's he
- 37:22gonna say?
- 37:22Speaker 7: Some people have a real passion for it, and and
- 37:25you can tell it when they're in their products and
- 37:28the food that they that they.
- 37:29Speaker 4: Come up with.
- 37:31Speaker 7: But it's a there's a learning process, you know, there's
- 37:35a there's always been this debate in the call in
- 37:38it world, you know, is being a chef and what
- 37:40you create is that an art?
- 37:41Speaker 4: Is it a science?
- 37:42Speaker 7: And I think when it comes to barbecue, it very
- 37:44much is a science because you're not really necessarily like
- 37:48altering flavors or bringing in new components. And you can
- 37:50and there are people out there doing that, but for
- 37:52the most part, it's understanding how fat breaks down with
- 37:57the introduction of heat and how long that needs to happen,
- 37:59because they're there's different types of fat and different types
- 38:02of temperatures and time that it takes for a lot
- 38:04to render. And then you've got you know, and then
- 38:05you bring in your rubs, and that's really exciting. And
- 38:07people like to talk about the rubbs. A lot of
- 38:09people get weird about rubb I'm for me, like, there's
- 38:14not too many bad rubs out there. There are really
- 38:15good rubs, but like a rub is a rub, and
- 38:17it really just comes down to the cooking process and
- 38:20the technique and any attention to detail.
- 38:22Speaker 4: I haven't I haven't got I ain't got geeked out
- 38:25enough to like make my own rub. But I have
- 38:27started to like Meat Church, you know, the popular They
- 38:29make a lot of seasonings and things, and I got
- 38:32my hands on a couple of theirs that I do like,
- 38:34and I've started like mixing them because like, I like
- 38:36this one and it's got this kind of characteristic and
- 38:38I like that one, but all of that one's not
- 38:40quite right, and all of this one's not all right.
- 38:42Oh yeah, yeah, I've started blending them out like a
- 38:44little I'll base layer with this one because it's got
- 38:46a lot of sugar in it. I know it's going
- 38:48to do this, and then I'll throw a little bit
- 38:49of this one on top because it's got more heat,
- 38:50it's got a little spice. I don't know that makes
- 38:52any fucking difference, because I'm not you, but no, it does.
- 38:55Speaker 7: It Like there's there's different components in there. We have
- 38:58the rub we use, we use for or everything except
- 39:01for our brisket. So there's a smoked meat, whether it's wings, turkey, chicken, spars,
- 39:05it's gonna have the same rub on it. And then
- 39:06when we get down to our brisket, it's very simple
- 39:08salt and pepper.
- 39:09Speaker 4: I think that's the best with brisket. I've never I've
- 39:12never been impressed by anything other than a good salt
- 39:14and pepper rub down brisket.
- 39:15Speaker 3: Like you can.
- 39:16Speaker 5: People they do coffee rubs and all sorts of stuff.
- 39:17Speaker 3: And it's oh yeah, and I've had that it's really good.
- 39:20They can be really tasty.
- 39:22Speaker 7: But if you're using a really good cut of meat,
- 39:25you know your if your brisket's good quality. Like kind
- 39:27of what we do, it's Tennessee style of barbecue, is
- 39:30that we just kind of let the meat in the
- 39:32fat shine.
- 39:32Speaker 4: It's okay.
- 39:33Speaker 7: What happens to pork and the fat and the meat
- 39:36that's there when you introduce smoke and a little bit
- 39:38of flavor. So like when we do our hogs, we
- 39:40don't do a lot of mopping, we don't do a
- 39:42lot of basting, we don't do a lot of flavor added.
- 39:45It's it's a very kind of natural product, I guess.
- 39:48Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 39:48Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 39:50Speaker 7: And when you break it down, we cook for a
- 39:52longer period of time. We cook at a lower temperature,
- 39:54so our hogs take about twenty two hours to cook.
- 39:59So it's a what is that temperature? Then roughly it's
- 40:02a little hotter to start off with, and then when
- 40:05changing it, you know you're two hundred degreesier.
- 40:07Speaker 5: Just so, is there a fire and going at Martin's
- 40:09all the time except for.
- 40:13Speaker 7: Christmas morning and Thanksgiving morning, But there's someone there Thanksgiving
- 40:17night and Christmas night.
- 40:18Speaker 3: Get the fire on there. You got like a twelve
- 40:21hour period it's all shut down.
- 40:23Speaker 4: Well, then you have it.
- 40:23Speaker 5: You know, around here, you got hurricanes and stuff, so
- 40:26every now and then it dies.
- 40:27Speaker 4: But if but you know what's fun about that? Though
- 40:30home team has done in the last few times, it's
- 40:32been a while since knock on Jesus, I shouldn't say
- 40:34this out loud during hurricane season. It's been a minute
- 40:36since we've had a real boomer around here, right, And
- 40:39the last like kind of halfway serious when we had
- 40:41I think was Dorian, Yeah, that they pulled a full
- 40:44evacuation and everything for and I remember like the last
- 40:49I've been here almost fifty oh shit, almost twenty years now.
- 40:53But the few times where we've had big evacuations, the
- 40:56first places that have opened up, and it's traditionally West
- 40:58actually home team. But yeah, I'm sure you guys too.
- 41:01But like because they don't need a lot of power,
- 41:03so even if the powers not on, they can fire
- 41:05the smokers up and they'll feed up. And then you
- 41:08literally go out on the Instagram rather and I'll say, hey,
- 41:10we're feeding people up, you know, come on out and
- 41:12you can roll up the home team and have a beer,
- 41:14you know, having coolers. You pay, of course you pay, yeah,
- 41:17but you know, especially nowadays with the square face stuff,
- 41:20so they can still take money. But like they're still
- 41:23feeding the community because yeah, and we you're smoking me.
- 41:26Speaker 7: And when it comes to storms, we actually kind of
- 41:28have between me and my partner, we having a philosophy
- 41:31that you know, we'll shut down to keep our staff
- 41:34in and employees safe.
- 41:36Speaker 3: Safe.
- 41:36Speaker 7: Yeah, right, but you can guarantee this if it was
- 41:40a really bad situation, as soon as I could get
- 41:42into that restaurant. Yeah, you know, I'm not gonna be
- 41:44able to use our power to jan ar oilers that
- 41:47are big were tissary smokers. But I'll be out there
- 41:49on our on our BQ grill and I'll be in
- 41:51there in our pits, like yeah, it'll be manually intensive,
- 41:55but like it'll get done.
- 41:56Speaker 4: Core components of the community.
- 41:58Speaker 3: Man, that's right, I say. In COVID, uh Martin saved
- 42:02us from social anxiety as far as not being able
- 42:05to get out. And man, you guys were legal, and
- 42:08you guys were a big deck and the best thing going.
- 42:10Speaker 4: That's the only way out there once. Yeah, and we
- 42:14had the same thing. We had a house of bruises
- 42:17like that because we had a backyard. Yeah, and that
- 42:19was like the only thing kept us saying for because
- 42:21we could go and there were other humans around, even
- 42:23though we were even though we were twenty feet away
- 42:25from him in a backyard. It was like, I see
- 42:27other people and we're outside in the sunlight and we're enjoying, Like,
- 42:30oh money.
- 42:30Speaker 6: I remember Bank of America calling me and saying, what
- 42:33is Martin's barber?
- 42:36Speaker 5: And are you okay? Do you have a problem?
- 42:39Speaker 4: Do you need so I'm gonna be one of those
- 42:41guys that hit you with some technical questions. So something
- 42:43that I've learned slowly over as an adult because once again,
- 42:46Barbie is a big thing in my life. But I
- 42:48didn't barb Oh my god, but I didn't. I didn't
- 42:52grow up in a like my dad wasn't a big
- 42:54barbecue guy, right, So I didn't grow up learning all
- 42:56this stuff. But as I've gotten older and I've got
- 42:58my pelat girl and stuff, I've been playing with things.
- 43:00How important do you? I know you're doing whole hog.
- 43:02It's a little different like when you're doing butts or
- 43:04picnics or whatever I've learned to me being patient with
- 43:07like resting that meat after the smoke, like the longer
- 43:10I can kind of give it, because I used to
- 43:13bring it off to the smoker and like within like
- 43:14twenty minutes I was peeling, I think part because I
- 43:16wanted to eat it, you know, But yeah, no, how
- 43:18long do you got? I mean, how important is that
- 43:20to like we're talking about fat rendering stuff, Like how
- 43:21important is that?
- 43:22Speaker 7: So we usually give our we give so when we're
- 43:25not doing a whole hog what you do on the weekends.
- 43:26Right now, we're doing shoulders, which is the butt and
- 43:29the picnic together.
- 43:30Speaker 5: So it's a big cut of meat.
- 43:31Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and it needs some time to kind of
- 43:33get If you break into one of those right efforts done,
- 43:35it's gonna be you know, close to two hundred degrees
- 43:38and yeah, and that's that's not what you want. You
- 43:41want all that all that loose fat floating around to
- 43:43kind of get back in there. So we give that
- 43:44plenty of time. With our brisket, we have a very
- 43:48kind of special resting period of time, and we basically
- 43:51rest it until it gets to a certain temperature. And
- 43:54at that point that's when We're like, all right, that's
- 43:55when we'll we'll put it in a warmer and we'll
- 43:57we'll hold it at that temperature.
- 44:00Speaker 6: Yeah, resting, I'm getting hungry. Resting is huge. I don't
- 44:02mean to I didn't eat before I got here, and
- 44:04I was like, oh man.
- 44:05Speaker 3: They've got we're all going to find out about later.
- 44:08Speaker 4: I'm usually doing butts or shoulders, and usually for me,
- 44:11like here lately, at least an hour, usually a couple
- 44:15closer to two. It's been the new thing for me,
- 44:18and the longer I've been, the more patient I can be,
- 44:20the better my barbecue has.
- 44:23Speaker 7: So I've since I've been in. I've been professionally cooking
- 44:28barbecue for thirteen years now.
- 44:35Speaker 5: So I don't do a whole lot of the home
- 44:36cooking anymore, just because.
- 44:38Speaker 4: Why would you. I hate it so much.
- 44:39Speaker 7: And then like all the barbecue places in town that
- 44:41we used to frequent before being in barbecue, Yeah, it's
- 44:45just it's a it becomes a bit much if you're yeah, yeah,
- 44:48when you're going and breathing, if you're going out to eat,
- 44:50you're not a barbecue. But yeah, so I get a
- 44:53lot of I get a lot of questions from my
- 44:55folks about the resting period and try to do it
- 44:57in a cooler. Should whatever you do, just let rest.
- 45:00I mean you can just put it on the kitchen
- 45:01counter and let it sit there.
- 45:02Speaker 4: For the cover mine in full, Yeah, and just let
- 45:04it sit there.
- 45:04Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 45:04Speaker 7: Especially you want to retain something, you want to make
- 45:06sure it doesn't cool on the outside and not the inside.
- 45:08Speaker 4: Oh yea, yeah, I ball make sure it's.
- 45:10Speaker 7: Yeah, being wrapped up, being in a cooler. Wrestling is
- 45:14really important. I mean, any any chef you ask about
- 45:17meat will tell you that wrestling is born. There's you
- 45:19know a lot of places, steakhouses, they'll cook a steak
- 45:22and then they'll let us sit for ten minutes, really
- 45:25just just to get all those juices back in there.
- 45:28Make sure that your cooke temp is nice and even
- 45:31throughout the whole thing.
- 45:32Speaker 4: My problem is really that I'm fat, and the smell,
- 45:39the smell of rendered fat and meat and smoke and
- 45:43char and all those things. It's hard, bro, Like I
- 45:46gotta leave the house, like I can't sit in there
- 45:48and there Like it's not especially steaks. I'm the worst misteaks.
- 45:51I know you're supposed to rest steak, I can't resteak.
- 45:53Steak comes off of a hot grill or whatever. It's
- 45:56going straight in my face. So I'm not resting.
- 46:00Speaker 5: Here's here's what I do with microwave pizza.
- 46:04Speaker 4: Every time, every time the reverse.
- 46:09Speaker 3: I was like, I didn't do anything in my whole mouth.
- 46:14Speaker 7: I mean, well, let's be honest, the resting period does
- 46:16not apply to a frozen pizzas the dog.
- 46:22Speaker 5: The quicker. You can eat that the butter because usually
- 46:26you really need it.
- 46:27Speaker 4: Oh god, I gotta have.
- 46:29Speaker 3: So, Mike. Have you ever been to Martin's and got
- 46:31the bolooney sandwich?
- 46:32Speaker 4: No, I've sat beside Ben when he woofed one down.
- 46:35I've seen that thing. I love. I love a good
- 46:38slab of baloney. You can't you can't even pop that baloney.
- 46:46That blogoney won't pop.
- 46:47Speaker 3: You ever have a half inch or three quarters of
- 46:50guess about three quarters of an inch.
- 46:52Speaker 5: It's it's a half pound.
- 46:53Speaker 3: That thing is gnarly.
- 46:55Speaker 7: It's a whole meal, and then you get aside and
- 46:58with it.
- 46:59Speaker 5: Boy, So basically it's a patty of potted meat.
- 47:03Speaker 6: Yeah, well, yeah, you just we take a whole a
- 47:05whole log of blooney, twelve pounds.
- 47:08Speaker 5: Yeah, we will score it, season it smoke it.
- 47:11Speaker 3: Yeah, and how long is that that tube of blooney lasts? Like?
- 47:14How often are you all.
- 47:16Speaker 4: Took one of those things?
- 47:18Speaker 5: It depends on how often some of our regular show up.
- 47:20Speaker 3: So it's a regular thing you get. You got a
- 47:22handful of regulars that that's all they eat.
- 47:24Speaker 7: It's but up there with the catfish. It's it's well,
- 47:28probably more so than the caffish. It's the onelight of
- 47:30more people are just before they even order that they tell.
- 47:33Speaker 4: You okay, yeah, I'm I came here.
- 47:36Speaker 5: For the bologne, and then and then the order at
- 47:38the register.
- 47:38Speaker 4: Well, you know, and catfishes cabbish is catfish is tricky
- 47:42like people like. It's not like so I'm a big
- 47:44one thing I am very good at. And one thing
- 47:46that I'm amongst circumcircles I'm known for is frying fish.
- 47:49Speaker 7: I'm very Yeah, you Mike, you are probably via this podcast,
- 47:54but I've.
- 47:55Speaker 4: Heard you're a good Catfish is tough catfish. Catfish can
- 47:58be a gamey fish. I guess it would be work. Yeah,
- 48:01And a lot of it depends on where you get
- 48:02the catfish, how they're raised, how they're caught. That kind
- 48:04of thing because but I'm not very I'm not always
- 48:08a catfish guy. I'm weary of catfish when I see
- 48:10it on a menu because it can either be fine
- 48:12and great where it can be bad.
- 48:14Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm right there with you. So I am not
- 48:16a catfish fan, but I love our catfish.
- 48:18Speaker 4: Yeah, your phenomenal.
- 48:20Speaker 7: And it's it has to do with how there is.
- 48:22So we get him out of Mississippi. Their farmer is there,
- 48:25and so they can control the diet the environment that
- 48:29they're in. And it's not so much the diet as
- 48:30it is the the muddy water. So like as a
- 48:34when I was a chef in Maryland or in Virginia
- 48:37at the time, the Potomac River there had an.
- 48:39Speaker 5: Invasive species of these like Japanese catfish.
- 48:42Speaker 3: They could have the stripes on them and stuff.
- 48:45Speaker 5: Maybe they could like walk on the on the ground
- 48:47or something. Dude, that's like a horror movie.
- 48:49Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it was awful and it and there's no
- 48:51there's no natural predator there for them. So though Baltimore
- 48:55there was a big movie, there's a big move to
- 48:59get people get chefs involved in like cooking him like
- 49:02the whole week. Yeah, very similar to snake. But because
- 49:06of these fish were in the in this one river
- 49:08that had a sandy bottom, they.
- 49:09Speaker 5: Were really really, really good to eat.
- 49:11Speaker 3: Wow.
- 49:12Speaker 7: So it was just kind of educating people that because
- 49:14it says catfish or because it says snakehead or whatever,
- 49:17it really has to do with the environment that the
- 49:19fish comes from. Like you probably wouldn't eat a fish
- 49:21out of the James Island Creek.
- 49:23Speaker 4: Mike would. No, I won't need to fish out of
- 49:25a nasty ashley. That's literally right there, no fence. Anybody
- 49:29that eats fish out the ash River, but my can't
- 49:31eat fish out of the ash River. I'm not shrimping
- 49:33in the ash River. I'm not catching crabs in the
- 49:35ash River. I ain't doing it.
- 49:37Speaker 3: Have you have you sneakhead? Do people eat those things?
- 49:42Speaker 7: People usually don't like go out and try to buy them,
- 49:45But I've had him. And that's part of this movement.
- 49:48It was like Invasive Species Week, Like I used to
- 49:50cook up a bunch.
- 49:51Speaker 4: And nice because that's big of Maryland to the Chesapeake.
- 49:54Probably tastes like chicken.
- 49:56Speaker 3: Uh yeah, it's a fish.
- 50:00Speaker 4: Fishes all right, Like I mean, some of them can
- 50:02get a little gamy you can treat them different ways
- 50:04to kind of counteract that.
- 50:06Speaker 7: But yeah, yeah, they had a little sweetness to it,
- 50:07so like didn't taste like your uh.
- 50:11Speaker 4: Uh No, there's some things can't be saved. That's like
- 50:15the old uh they call it saya, the old carp recipe.
- 50:18You know that the old joke about how to cook
- 50:20a carp You ever heard that one?
- 50:21Speaker 1: No?
- 50:21Speaker 4: Yeah, so you you to cook a carp, you flay them,
- 50:24you know, you clean them out real good. You gotta
- 50:25make sure you get the mudline out, and then you
- 50:27seizon them. Was yeah, most supporting thing. Then you seize
- 50:29the salt pepper. That's all you need. Little butter maybe
- 50:31if you want to put it on a cedar plank.
- 50:34And then you put a cedar plank in the oven
- 50:35at three fifty you let it go about thirty thirty
- 50:38five minutes to pull it out. Then you scrape the
- 50:40carp into the trash.
- 50:41Speaker 6: And I figured that was coming.
- 50:45Speaker 3: I was hoping that was coming. Yeah, I was hoping
- 50:48that was that's it.
- 50:49Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the old that's the old. Added then you
- 50:51eat eat the cedar plank.
- 50:54Speaker 7: Yeah, we I mean growing up on the chestaeaked bab
- 50:56we had you know you got spot and croaker and yeah,
- 50:59I mean.
- 50:59Speaker 5: Which out the way or delicious crab man? You gotta
- 51:03catch forty of them to get It's.
- 51:04Speaker 4: Like it's like bluegills and crappie man?
- 51:07Speaker 6: Have you Has anyone ever sat down to a meal
- 51:10of crabs and not left and gone to McDonald's crawfish?
- 51:16So much work and so much work, no carp tunnels.
- 51:22So now I'm a Maryland boy throwing through and I
- 51:24will all right, it'll be three hours of me and
- 51:27Miller light, mostly because I like cordslight better, so I
- 51:30drink Miller Lights.
- 51:30Speaker 4: I don't drink as much. And I will just go to town.
- 51:33Speaker 3: Until some people would think that with the wers, I'll
- 51:37sit there.
- 51:37Speaker 4: Oh yeah, have you been out to Fisherman's Net and
- 51:41had the crab out there?
- 51:42Speaker 3: No?
- 51:43Speaker 4: So there's a out of Red Top seventeen south heading
- 51:47out where the Dodge's chicken and all that is. Oh yeah,
- 51:49that's Red Top. Yeah. So roight next wro there's a
- 51:52seafood like seller. They sell fish.
- 51:55Speaker 5: Sevente yeah, yeh, it's called Fisherman's Net.
- 51:57Speaker 4: But they have a little kitchen there and they cook
- 51:59some they cook food but they do their crabs different
- 52:02anybody I've ever seen a lot. So they hard they
- 52:04deep fry hard shell crabs, not soft shell crabs, hard
- 52:08shell blue crabs. They deep primp breaded and everything. Then
- 52:11you get to pick what kind of sauce you want.
- 52:13It's garlic butter or whatever, or it just butter. And
- 52:15then they put the sauce in a brown paper bag
- 52:18and they drop the deep fried hard crab in there
- 52:20and they just shake it up. And then you take
- 52:22the bag apart, make a plate out of it, and
- 52:25then you break it down like you would a crab
- 52:26in Maryland or something you had steamed. But as you're doing.
- 52:30Speaker 5: No, you just doe.
- 52:32Speaker 4: Well yeah, but as you're breaking them down, you're getting
- 52:35the butter and the sauce and the breading all over
- 52:37your hands. So when you grab a chunk of meat
- 52:38out there and you go to suck it down, it's
- 52:40all over your hands and you're getting all of it.
- 52:41At one time, that was a real, real popular genius.
- 52:46Speaker 7: Well, the first time I saw a breaded the same
- 52:49thing I saw a breaded hard shell crab fried, I was.
- 52:52Speaker 4: Like, what are they doing down here? It works?
- 52:57Speaker 5: It is, it is it definitely works.
- 53:00Speaker 4: Well, yeah, because like you have to eat with your
- 53:01hands otherwise it don't work.
- 53:02Speaker 5: So you just eat hush puppies on the side. Yeah,
- 53:05the same thing.
- 53:07Speaker 3: But yeah that works too. That works too.
- 53:11Speaker 4: Uppies, hushpubbies. That's another art form right there. Don't give
- 53:14me no maybe unpopular point, but I don't want no
- 53:17corn nuggets and the hushpuppies.
- 53:18Speaker 3: Sarah tried to tell me to the court that hush
- 53:20puppies are like a waste of food, like they can be,
- 53:25but Martin, I love ours.
- 53:28Speaker 7: Yeah, growing up we have them. They have a lot
- 53:31of sugar in them, so it was kind of they're
- 53:33a little sweeter but like sweet corn bread.
- 53:35Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I remember old fish camps when we was kids.
- 53:39We go to the fish camps, you know, and uh,
- 53:41I love you knew the hushbabbies is good. When they
- 53:43have a limit on the dimming basket you can have that.
- 53:46That was like, oh we found in for tre even
- 53:49sign as one basket per table more fish. I mean
- 53:53that might be the sole reason long John silverst I like,
- 53:57I like putting cocktail sauce on my hushpup. You get
- 54:00that sweet and tangy.
- 54:02Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty much do cocktail. Yeah, horse radig tar,
- 54:07nothing dark. I don't eat mayonnaise on my fish.
- 54:13Speaker 4: Not a complete sin, but it's not.
- 54:14Speaker 3: My favorite.
- 54:16Speaker 5: Cocktail is far spirit of and it's.
- 54:19Speaker 4: Gotta be hot, like you know, you should be running
- 54:20when you eat cocktail.
- 54:21Speaker 5: Yeah, a little too much black pepper, a little too
- 54:23much horse radish.
- 54:24Speaker 4: Oh yeah, just touch that.
- 54:27Speaker 3: Well, what's okay, let's take work out of the picture.
- 54:30Work is barbecue. What's what's your favorite dining experience in
- 54:33Charleston that you had since you lived here? Mm hm,
- 54:36A couple. You don't have to tell me your favorite,

- 54:51it's seafood, which we It's not what we do a
- 54:54lot of. Yeah, it's what I personally, it's my passion
- 54:57as a from growing up. But so I love to
- 55:00see really awesome seafood. So we'll go to We'll go
- 55:03to the ordinary. We'll go to one six seven. Yeah,
- 55:06we usually tend to like restaurant hop, so we'll we'll
- 55:09sit at the bar, get a cocktail or two and
- 55:13a couple and then and then we walk around and
- 55:16being being into the industry, like we have a couple
- 55:19of people that can like get us in and hook
- 55:20us up a little bit, which is kind of nice cool.
- 55:22Speaker 5: We don't take that for granted. But we've got a
- 55:24lot of really good options.
- 55:25Speaker 7: But I learned, uh Sunday night that all those options
- 55:29are now very expensive.
- 55:32Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah they are when you left, uh supper club?
- 55:35Where'd y'all go? The other night? After that?
- 55:38Speaker 10: Uh?
- 55:38Speaker 4: So we went to the Kent q U I n
- 55:41t e the quint quintin we you like it. It
- 55:46was fun.
- 55:47Speaker 7: We had really great wine selection that had some really
- 55:50really awesome the tartar sauce, I mean the cocktail sauce
- 55:54there is banging. We got a little like sampler of
- 55:59shrimp and oysters and spicy crab.
- 56:01Speaker 4: Dip and I not have you done Stella? I love
- 56:04Stella's like that charred octap if you just want some
- 56:08little small plates and just like this.
- 56:10Speaker 7: It's always super hot in there. But I feel like
- 56:13it's like fitting with the Greek Greek and I love
- 56:17the old black and white movies that they always have
- 56:18playing in the back. That was actually where my my
- 56:22wife met my parents for the first time. Really, so
- 56:25a little bit of a traumatic experience, but we still
- 56:28love it.
- 56:28Speaker 4: I love that that joint. Like, I'm not a big
- 56:30you can ask my wife like, I'm a very much
- 56:32a I'm a sit down. I order what I want.
- 56:34I want to eat my food. I don't want to
- 56:36share your food. I don't want I don't want to
- 56:38taste a little of this and that. So now unless
- 56:40I go to somewhere like Stella, where it's a small
- 56:42plate and that's the deal, and then that's a whole
- 56:44different thing. But like Stella is like one of the
- 56:46few places where I'm like, yeah, let's go, let's go
- 56:49get like seven plates of random ship and just get away,
- 56:52invite you to an appetizing food. My live as and
- 56:57she's like, so you want someone that I'm like no,
- 56:58she goes, I like, try, you can have a bite
- 57:00of it.
- 57:00Speaker 5: But we eat a meal together. I'm gonna reach over
- 57:04and I'm gonna make icon.
- 57:05Speaker 4: You'll get hit just like three to five Happy Hour.
- 57:10Speaker 3: I don't.
- 57:11Speaker 4: I've never I don't. I'm not there and you should.
- 57:14I should. I'm poor just to try anything to save money. Welcome,
- 57:21we love Martin, though oh my god, you're just okay.
- 57:24I will say this and this is unsolicitous. Everything is
- 57:27good on me. But uh, just the atmosphere the place
- 57:31is very much it's relaxed, like I can pull in
- 57:33there and yeah, I could walk up to the bar,
- 57:37like I don't feel I don't feel cloister. I don't know,
- 57:40you feel relaxed.
- 57:41Speaker 3: Even though this kids like that doesn't bother. Even if
- 57:44you don't have the kid that night and there's kids around,
- 57:47doesn't matter.
- 57:47Speaker 5: Yeah, that's mostly because I'm in the background, like yelling
- 57:50and scolding.
- 57:51Speaker 4: And one thing is I can't say is like I
- 57:53can't understand why people eat inside, like it has to
- 57:56be just never eat Only Yankees eat inside.
- 57:58Speaker 5: Probably because they don't want to be around us.
- 58:01Speaker 4: Like I've never ever I've walked inside one time to
- 58:03ask somebody something, but like I got in there and
- 58:05I was like, there'repleting in here, don't you know there's
- 58:07a porch.
- 58:08Speaker 7: Well for the most part, like we're very like it's
- 58:11either my dining rooms full and we're empty outside, or
- 58:14everybody's outside and we're empty inside.
- 58:16Speaker 4: I don't care because of the weather, but we have
- 58:18some people.
- 58:19Speaker 5: We build a little bar inside.
- 58:20Speaker 7: The first summer or first winter, we were open, thinking
- 58:22people would want to go inside now, and they were like, no,
- 58:24we'd rather just be in like a starter jacket, and
- 58:29I'd rather be cold.
- 58:30Speaker 5: And I can guarantee you you go there.
- 58:33Speaker 6: Any time that place is open, you got an eighty
- 58:35five percent chance of one of us being.
- 58:41Speaker 3: You're going to see someone you know.
- 58:42Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I will say this, like my daughter just
- 58:45started preschool, so like I actually have a life again,
- 58:48which is weird, but yeah, I'll be there a lot more.
- 58:52She's too so it's two year old.
- 58:55Speaker 3: It it's too easy to pull them there with your boat.
- 58:56Speaker 4: And it's just like I almost did it today because
- 58:58I was coming from Wamela. I fish down there, and
- 59:01I went to the car wash down you know, on
- 59:04James Island, and I was trying to time picking her
- 59:06up at like three, and uh, fortunately for my wallet
- 59:11and my and my daughter, Uh, I got too close
- 59:14to time and I had to go pick her up.
- 59:15But my backup plan was to pull into Martins and
- 59:17have a beer and maybe a catfish sandwich. I don't know,
- 59:20you to see how things play out.
- 59:21Speaker 7: Yeah, so'd be really designed the outdoor area to kind
- 59:24of match. Uh, would be very similar to one of
- 59:28our our big downtown Nashville store has a big beer garden.
- 59:32Speaker 4: It's so much fun. Yeah, I've been there. It's amazing.
- 59:34Speaker 3: But also three stories.
- 59:36Speaker 5: Yeah, it's big.
- 59:37Speaker 7: But being a part of the building process of this restaurant,
- 59:41you know, growing up where I grew up, we had
- 59:43a lot of dog bars that would be you know,
- 59:46they'd be all plastic down the outside in the wintertime.
- 59:48Speaker 4: And everyone just kind of hunk her down and it'd be.
- 59:51Speaker 7: A little too cold for like what you would normally
- 59:53want to do, but it was that was being there
- 59:55by the water and being there with with your friends
- 59:57was what you wanted to do. So kind of granted
- 1:00:01we're looking out onto parking lot and Falling Road, but
- 1:00:03I wanted to. I wanted to kind of dog barbide.
- 1:00:06Speaker 4: I like that, And I like the classic wrestling wrestling,
- 1:00:11all the wrestling clips.
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: It's so amazingly random.
- 1:00:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I love the best.
- 1:00:15Speaker 5: That was about fifty magazines worth of clipping.
- 1:00:18Speaker 7: I'm sure a lot of magazine you get them off
- 1:00:21of eBay, Amazon, whatever, but you order them like ten
- 1:00:25at a time. Well, also what I love about it's
- 1:00:27either country or heavy metals the music and sometimes together.
- 1:00:32Speaker 4: Yeah, which is perfectly acceptable to me.
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: No, I know you're gonna have iron Maid and then
- 1:00:36Clip Black.
- 1:00:37Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like he climbed into my Spotify mix, like yeah,
- 1:00:40death Metals straight into you know.
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: Yeah, you know it wasn't jack Ingram too, which I
- 1:00:47grew up home back into Texas a lot of that. Yeah.
- 1:00:50But we're saying is thanks for the music that you
- 1:00:52play there.
- 1:00:52Speaker 4: Yeah, and thanks for the restaurants. It's it's hard to
- 1:00:56say in Charleston because Charleston, as you've alluded to, and
- 1:00:59the million staurants we've all listed on here already, people
- 1:01:03don't have options. Yeah, they there are a lot of options.
- 1:01:05Do we have to go to Martins?
- 1:01:07Speaker 7: And we are very grateful for everyone that comes in
- 1:01:09because there's a lot of great barbecue in town, a
- 1:01:11lot of guys who've been doing their whole lives and
- 1:01:13have a lot of time and energy and money invested
- 1:01:15into it. But you know, I think there's there's a
- 1:01:19place for all of us. And the barbecue community is
- 1:01:21very interesting in that, while we are competitive with each
- 1:01:24other from a you know.
- 1:01:25Speaker 4: Every dollars a dollar, yeah and all that. Yeah, but
- 1:01:29we come.
- 1:01:29Speaker 7: Together really strong when we need to and when there's
- 1:01:31a need and when there's something in the community that
- 1:01:34needs some help, like we are, we'll band together and
- 1:01:37and support each other.
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: And I love that.
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: I think definitely have the barbecue family going on.
- 1:01:43Speaker 4: I think you're a fine addition to our restaurant with
- 1:01:45I appreciate that. And like anytime, yeah, anytime you're in
- 1:01:48the top, like the top choice. When me and my
- 1:01:50wife are on the James Island, like we're rolling through, like,
- 1:01:53oh yeah, we scraped some dinner real quick, I'm like,
- 1:01:55Martin's is rut there, We're going to Martins.
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: It is the best pork sandwich in town. I think
- 1:02:00it's definitely a unique flavor to it, probably because you're doing.
- 1:02:03Speaker 5: The what would you say, is the mill you of
- 1:02:05the of Martins is certain.
- 1:02:08Speaker 4: Their million there. You don't know what that word their million,
- 1:02:12Ronnie Scotts would be, Lewis would be.
- 1:02:16Speaker 5: It's like a genre.
- 1:02:17Speaker 4: No, it's a it's a group of it's a group
- 1:02:19of lack of individuals. So it's a it's it's your gang. No,
- 1:02:25it's your community. It's like, no, you gotta miss the
- 1:02:29whole thing. I mean, technically, yeah, if you were in
- 1:02:33a cult, your million would be your fellow cult members.
- 1:02:35But that's not how that word is really meant to be.
- 1:02:38It's like your peers. It's a fancy French word for peers.
- 1:02:42Let's put it that way. I don't know, it's how
- 1:02:44it goes. That's basically what it means.
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: You have no idea. Hey, let's let's close this thing.
- 1:02:52Speaker 4: It's a good segment.
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: Love it.
- 1:02:54Speaker 4: Let's you stop now.
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: If you all are in town though, no matter if
- 1:02:59you're downtown or wherever. Come across the bridge not far
- 1:03:03to James Allen, that Connector.
- 1:03:04Speaker 4: Is a nice drive if you're downtown. Beautiful view.
- 1:03:09Speaker 5: If I can get out of there before the song
- 1:03:10goes down. Hey, James Allan Connector.

- 1:03:45Speaker 5: You too, No, no, no, man, said I could, I
- 1:03:48can tell.
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: Your boys.
- 1:03:57Speaker 11: You three man?
- 1:04:03Speaker 12: Why damn?
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: Remember when James Newman came to the house when we
- 1:04:19all lived together, goes Maam, I forget who he was
- 1:04:21seen at Charleston Music Hall. It's like the Mandolin Orange.
- 1:04:26They were so good.
- 1:04:27Speaker 4: They are really good.
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: They are good, and there they're playing Ashville An they're
- 1:04:30called Watchhouse, but they were from that area? Are they? Wait?
- 1:04:34Speaker 4: Really they renamed their band. I didn't know that.
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: I guess I didn't want to be named after a
- 1:04:38mandolin or an orange.
- 1:04:41Speaker 5: Well, that's just racist.
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: It is super racist, super racist.
- 1:04:46Speaker 4: Rangers. Uh, it's called getting baseball scores over here from
- 1:04:50the deck.
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: Just saying Doug who won Douglas ten minutes ahead of

- 1:05:09because I mean, he's kind of an asshole, But at
- 1:05:10the same time, it's like that's not a reason not
- 1:05:12to let a man into the A lot of those
- 1:05:13guys in there assholes, you know.
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: Like, man, they need to like Michael Jordan's I kind
- 1:05:20of I kind of follow Pete Rose kind of like

- 1:05:25every five years, kind of like Elvis every time. I seventies. Elvis,
- 1:05:30you got your seventies. Pete Rose, you get your eighties out.
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: In that picture of him sliding face first.
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: In the air, I can ever think of. Yeah, so
- 1:05:38there's a bronze sculpture that showed a few times in
- 1:05:40that sculpture that in that him. The sculptures so cool
- 1:05:44because he's somehow inverted like in Top Gun.
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: You know I was inverted.
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: But uh but yeah, so uh yeah, that's a great documentary.
- 1:05:55Speaker 4: Yeah if you like old baseball, and I don't. I'm
- 1:05:58not even a baseball guy, but I enjoyed.
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: A good documentary, doesn't matter what it's about, whether you
- 1:06:02are into it or not.
- 1:06:03Speaker 4: On HBO called Charlie Hustle, Yeah, it's good. The one
- 1:06:09about the guys.
- 1:06:10Speaker 6: Uh, they were smuggling cocaine and they had to lander
- 1:06:13their money, so they bought racehorses.
- 1:06:15Speaker 4: I haven't seen them.
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: What is that? Let the people have it?
- 1:06:18Speaker 6: What is it?
- 1:06:19Speaker 4: Think it's called I don't know, I can't remember.
- 1:06:24Speaker 5: I want to say cocaine cowboys, but that's already a
- 1:06:27different Yeah.
- 1:06:28Speaker 4: And now they had race boats, like they were racing
- 1:06:32racing boats. I remember that one.
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: Well, this this segment, we're going to talk about whatever.
- 1:06:38I got a couple of ideas, but we're also gonna
- 1:06:40call a listener. I don't think he's a listener anymore.
- 1:06:44Speaker 4: I mean, if he was, he listened at one point
- 1:06:46I didn't realize we were on and going.
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: Well, we put a call out to the airways one
- 1:06:54of the last couple of shows that if you are
- 1:06:56the one that gave us the one star rating, that
- 1:06:59guy on the podcast, which I think there's two. Now
- 1:07:03there's a couple.
- 1:07:04Speaker 4: I'm sure. I think we just started a trend. Now
- 1:07:05everybody wants to give us one.
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: Are we calling him? Yeah, we're calling him up. Well,
- 1:07:10so I said, reach out to him. So he emailed me.
- 1:07:13What his name is, Richard heisen Glaiser. No, it's not
- 1:07:18from Indie and Indiana somewhere maybe. Yeah, I think he's
- 1:07:21putting in contact.
- 1:07:22Speaker 4: With Mike Gleisner or a lot of Germans up there
- 1:07:28in that part of the world.
- 1:07:30Speaker 5: Let's not get racist again.
- 1:07:33Speaker 4: I don't call that racist.
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: I mean that's a nationalist.
- 1:07:36Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe a nationalist that you give me on that
- 1:07:39one think?
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: Oh, heisen Glaiser. So should we just go ahead and
- 1:07:43do it and call him?

- 1:08:23Speaker 3: Richard? Thanks for joining us. Uh, you know we've talked
- 1:08:26about this one star review for about a year now
- 1:08:29probably yeah.
- 1:08:30Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's a little over a year and a
- 1:08:33half ago. I believe it was the scrow Talks episode
- 1:08:37that I was listening to.
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: I'm not really you know.
- 1:08:42Speaker 4: I was with you guys through a lot of the
- 1:08:44early days, which you know, we're rough, you know, just
- 1:08:47giving you some credit here. You were new at the
- 1:08:49game and all of that at the game. But honestly,
- 1:08:52the the Scrow Talks, the Scrow Talks really turned me off. Richard.
- 1:08:56Speaker 6: I want to take the responsibility for that. That went
- 1:08:58off through and I'm sorry it went a bit off
- 1:09:01the rails.
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: Doug. That wasn't your house, Yeah it was right now.
- 1:09:05I want you to know, Richard, we're not trying to
- 1:09:07win you back through this conversation. Well you're not going
- 1:09:10We're not okay, So we're not gonna sit here. Wha. Yeah,
- 1:09:13we're not going to contest for your love and your feelings.
- 1:09:15But I might, I might.
- 1:09:18Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: Sorry, So so it was. It was the Scrow Talks
- 1:09:22episode at Doug's house.
- 1:09:23Speaker 4: It was the Scrow Talks episode, to be fair. However,
- 1:09:26I did continue to listen, and I've listened to some
- 1:09:29of your newer episodes, and I.
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: Will say there's a lot you're still listening here.
- 1:09:32Speaker 4: There's a lot of less there's a lot less scrotum involved,
- 1:09:34which is which is a plus. I gotta give you
- 1:09:36credit where credit is due, of course.
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: Uh.
- 1:09:39Speaker 4: But however, you know, as someone who's new to the
- 1:09:44the fly fishing world, and it's someone who's new.
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:09:48Speaker 4: You know, I really I'm a big fan of Tom Rosenbauer.
- 1:09:51You know, the way he does his podcast and the
- 1:09:54April Bokey podcast and and they're very positive and they're
- 1:09:59very in full normative, and they really give you a
- 1:10:01lot of information that you can take away and you
- 1:10:04can put into application. Really with you guys, I I
- 1:10:06you know, well, I don't know what I get from
- 1:10:09listening to you podcast is a transaction. I don't know,
- 1:10:12giving my time I should get something in return.
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: I don't know if it was a slip on your
- 1:10:17slip up on your part, but you you said on
- 1:10:19the email that you fell upon our podcast and that's
- 1:10:23what made you start fly fishing.
- 1:10:24Speaker 4: Well, initially it did, because you guys do make it.
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: Sound really fun one star. But you love fly fishing
- 1:10:31now and you found it because of our podcast.
- 1:10:33Speaker 4: Well, but I'm not rating my love of fly fishing, Paul,
- 1:10:36I'm rating my love of your your podcast, Okay, And
- 1:10:40and your podcast did it did open that door up
- 1:10:42for me. However, it's done nothing since you know, I
- 1:10:46feel like, you know, since I've opened that door, I've
- 1:10:48kind of been left in the dark.
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: As it as it were, you haven't learned anything from
- 1:10:54We're not here to teach you though, Well we're here,
- 1:10:58we're here to broad I should teach though.
- 1:11:01Speaker 4: I mean there should be a point where you provide
- 1:11:03something in return for your listeners.
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: I mean obviously, Well, we have had episodes where we
- 1:11:08have a camp counselor that teaches Michael how to tie
- 1:11:11f lies and he's telling you over the podcast how
- 1:11:14to tie flyes. Is that not something that enriches I don't.
- 1:11:17Speaker 4: I don't know if you know how fly tying works,
- 1:11:19but it's more of a visual thing. Are you a
- 1:11:22fly tire, Richard? I have not have not opened that
- 1:11:26door yet. Okay, a lot of door opening.
- 1:11:29Speaker 5: But it sounds like you have a lot to say
- 1:11:31about time, you know.
- 1:11:32Speaker 4: I I do have a lot to say about fly
- 1:11:35time because I think it's something I'd be interesting and
- 1:11:36if only a certain podcasts would teach me how to
- 1:11:40do it. Well, we've tried, yeah, but you're going to
- 1:11:42need to do some video.
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: We've also tried to explain how scrow talks works.
- 1:11:46Speaker 4: Well, the Scrow talks. I think we're all very clear
- 1:11:48on how scrow talks works. Uh, that episode actually was
- 1:11:52very instructional, Richard.
- 1:11:54Speaker 5: We said, don't try this out.
- 1:11:56Speaker 4: We did it was one of the first ye you
- 1:11:58did it in your kitchen.
- 1:11:59Speaker 5: Doug, And well, I didn't do anything. We also, I
- 1:12:02just described it.
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: We also like to say maybe if you would have
- 1:12:05been there, you would have had more fun and enjoyed it.
- 1:12:08Speaker 4: That's that's true. I do feel like your entire how
- 1:12:13we say, uh mill you No, that's that's not the
- 1:12:17word at all. Done too. Like your whole motif, It
- 1:12:21isn't m word. Your whole motif is very much an
- 1:12:24inside joke, you know, like should have been there? That's
- 1:12:28kind like your deal that I think I said that
- 1:12:30in the one star review.
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: Well, let's get into the kind of your fishing. Where
- 1:12:34do you what kind of waters do you fish? What
- 1:12:36do you like to fish for?
- 1:12:37Speaker 4: Well, of course, you know, being here in Indiana, uh,
- 1:12:40we were a lot of warm water species, a lot
- 1:12:42of the bass and uh you know muskies and the things. Uh,
- 1:12:46the old Wabash River and you know, the old typical
- 1:12:49neo and all those things.
- 1:12:51Speaker 5: That's the Hoosier state, right, Oh, yeah, we're Hoosiers.
- 1:12:54Speaker 3: You ever get up to the Great Lakes and.
- 1:12:56Speaker 4: Yeah, ah at the time, Richard, what is you gotta
- 1:12:58watch yourself around Gary though a lot of guns and
- 1:13:01Gary Gary, Indiana, Indiana is a very very rough town. However,
- 1:13:07we do bounce over into and I do mean bounce
- 1:13:09because I don't know if you've ever driven through Ohio,
- 1:13:11but it's a lot of bouncing. We'll go over and
- 1:13:14fish the eerie, you know, for the steel heads and
- 1:13:16uh you know, yeah, a lot, a lot of a
- 1:13:18lot of fishing options in the old Hoosier State for
- 1:13:21the three months of the year that it's not frozen.
- 1:13:23It's it's really nice. You know, it's really nice.
- 1:13:25Speaker 5: It sounds like are you a basketball fan?
- 1:13:28Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah yeah, basketball all day. Well,
- 1:13:34you know, I won't lie. I tried. The tin car
- 1:13:39wasn't to my liking. You know, very hard, very hard
- 1:13:41to pop a bass bag on a ten car. It's
- 1:13:43just a lot of jerk into your rock around and
- 1:13:46you know, it just doesn't it doesn't have the same
- 1:13:49kind of uh uh zen that you see from the
- 1:13:53patagon ads.
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: You know, this phone calls a great connection.
- 1:13:57Speaker 4: By the way, Yeah, this is really clear. You really
- 1:14:00strong here after Indiana really hooked up.
- 1:14:03Speaker 5: Right now, so I thought there'd be a lot more
- 1:14:05hate on this.
- 1:14:07Speaker 4: There's nothing angry about a one star review. No, I mean,
- 1:14:10what do we have to get a four star review
- 1:14:13be better? I don't know.
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: With that in mind, what is your favorite podcast?
- 1:14:18Speaker 4: Well, I think we are listen to the first one.
- 1:14:20Of course. The number one podcast of all time podcasts
- 1:14:23if you just do a quick Google search, is Tom Rosenbauer.
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: And you know he's been a guest on our podcast
- 1:14:29before he has seen that episode. Yeah, it's like episode
- 1:14:33seven maybe, Okay, I'm not Yeah, and we're one of
- 1:14:39his favorites.
- 1:14:40Speaker 4: So yeah, you know, well, but I mean, you know,
- 1:14:42I guess he's got to take a break from being
- 1:14:44the best occasionally to listen to the list. But you know, hey, uh,
- 1:14:48everybody has their guilty pleasure. Yeah. So uh the other
- 1:14:52one I really like. The other one I really like
- 1:14:55is is out of Florida. I don't know if you
- 1:14:56know these guys, but they they're out of the Space Coast.
- 1:15:00Speaker 3: Uh.
- 1:15:00Speaker 4: It's the Trailer Park or Taylor Park. Taylor Park is.
- 1:15:03Speaker 3: Yeah, Taylor Park.
- 1:15:04Speaker 4: Yeah, Taylor Trash, Taylor Trash, trailer trash, Yeah.
- 1:15:07Speaker 3: Together, you know those guys they get a little hot,
- 1:15:11they get a little hot and bothered.
- 1:15:14Speaker 4: But once again, very informative.
- 1:15:17Speaker 3: They are very trash everyone.
- 1:15:20Speaker 4: Yeah, they're very informative though, and they're very detailed about
- 1:15:23their trashing and Richie it says it right there on
- 1:15:30their stickers.
- 1:15:30Speaker 5: Are you going to visit the low country?
- 1:15:32Speaker 4: Come down here and.
- 1:15:33Speaker 3: See some of this? You know?
- 1:15:34Speaker 4: I would, However, I have a severe aversion to Yeah,
- 1:15:40it's it's not a hard flight at all. Indianapolis Charleston,
- 1:15:44very cheap flight, very easy. Yeah, I think it's daily,
- 1:15:47Like I think I could get that like a taxi.
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: Uh.
- 1:15:49Speaker 4: The problem is every time I get in and every
- 1:15:53time I get into the temperatures above, say like seventy five,
- 1:15:56it just.
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: Doesn't work out well for me.
- 1:15:58Speaker 4: Have you ever been to Muncie Monthsy, No, we don't
- 1:16:03go to monthsI. You know, like mons, I don't know that.
- 1:16:07We need to explain. I heard the walleye fishing and
- 1:16:09months is off the chart. Well, I'm I'm strictly if
- 1:16:13I heard. It's very hard to off the hook.
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: If you know you can, you can do a sinker
- 1:16:17like ninety feet down.
- 1:16:18Speaker 4: Yeah, but is that really fly fishing?
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: It's deep water Walleye.
- 1:16:22Speaker 4: That doesn't seem like fly fishing. It seems like it
- 1:16:24seems like dredging, which we've only been doing. And I
- 1:16:28listened to Andy Mill and he does not approve of
- 1:16:30dressing of dredging.
- 1:16:32Speaker 3: We just talked to one of the Mills a little
- 1:16:33bit ago.
- 1:16:34Speaker 4: Well aren't you just the famous fight.
- 1:16:35Speaker 3: I'm just trying to say that we're maybe you should start,
- 1:16:39maybe you should turn this one star around and there.
- 1:16:42Speaker 4: But you know, now having a conversation with you, I
- 1:16:44really feel like I better understand you.
- 1:16:46Speaker 3: We understand you better.
- 1:16:47Speaker 4: I feel like we we would hang out and we
- 1:16:49would have a good time to maybe but I mean well,
- 1:16:52I mean I'm sure we would. Of course we would
- 1:16:54because each other. But you know, so you know, I
- 1:16:58may I may have to go back and freaking yeah, well,
- 1:17:01no the one star stance. I'm gonna leave the star.
- 1:17:04I'm gonna leave the star.
- 1:17:05Speaker 3: Where it is.
- 1:17:06Speaker 5: Maybe off the podcast.
- 1:17:07Speaker 6: I'll give you a call and say something really silly like,
- 1:17:10hey what if I a thousand dollars fourth star?
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: Yeah, I am open to offers. I mean, you guys
- 1:17:18have some pretty high powered sponsors. I'm sure you have
- 1:17:20some gear laying around. Something we could work out.
- 1:17:23Speaker 3: But old heisen Glaiser.
- 1:17:26Speaker 4: German German name is it heisen Glaisner. It's hard to
- 1:17:34say in the traditional German.
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: So thanks, buddy, appreciate it, Appreciate the call.

- 1:20:13Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a wait. We're gonna sing. We're gonna sing
- 1:20:15a song. We're gonna We're gonna like candles. Sounds like
- 1:20:18a sausage.
- 1:20:19Speaker 3: We was gonna do it at Luke's house, he said
- 1:20:21like four times already. It's Luke.
- 1:20:23Speaker 4: Just Luke just had like a big surgery on his
- 1:20:25hand and ship so he's out fly Fish and wise
- 1:20:27for the rest of the year. So we're gonna do
- 1:20:29a little thing in his house and like have like
- 1:20:30a screen up and walk just make him feel better. Man,
- 1:20:33take pictures, Yeah, we will take pictures. I'll make sure
- 1:20:35there's plenty of candlelight.
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: And I just come commentate.
- 1:20:38Speaker 4: You can come to the corner.
- 1:20:40Speaker 3: Yeah you hear me.
- 1:20:42Speaker 6: Yeah, you already get together and celebrate a bunch of
- 1:20:45very talented, drunk old men in Key West fly fishing.
- 1:20:49Speaker 4: Yeah, back when they were fishing with fucking steel leaders.
- 1:20:52And it's pretty odd. She's got she could tone up
- 1:20:57a few things. Uh, but feel like Mike promise. Here's
- 1:21:02the thing. Here's the thing. Although y'all out there that
- 1:21:04are not, you know, accomplished casters. Uh, you know. The
- 1:21:07first thing they tell you when the first thing they'll
- 1:21:11tell you when you learn how to cast is that
- 1:21:12you don't break the wrist. Well, that's true, and you shouldn't. However,
- 1:21:17once you get to a certain point of understanding how
- 1:21:19the rod works, there's advantages and when and places and
- 1:21:22times when you can break that wrist and then that
- 1:21:24thing to open a loop t stop the cast. Yeah,
- 1:21:27there's there's places where they call that a drift or whatever.
- 1:21:31And a drift is bad unless you know how to
- 1:21:33use it and then so it's like anything else here.
- 1:21:35I'm a drifter too, but I know when to drift
- 1:21:37and when not to drift.
- 1:21:38Speaker 6: Kind of like the Triple Indy that special diving back
- 1:21:41to school.
- 1:21:41Speaker 4: So it's called the wrist breaker. So yeah, so don't
- 1:21:44break your wrist until you know. Don't break your wrist
- 1:21:47till you know when to break your wrist.
- 1:21:48Speaker 3: That's right.
- 1:21:49Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, that's the rule.
- 1:21:50Speaker 3: Okay. So I've got a little topic that I like
- 1:21:52to bring up, and I'm not gonna worry about saying this.
- 1:21:57You know how the whole tarpe of fishery here thing
- 1:21:59is considered secret. It's not, but but you know how
- 1:22:02it kind of is.
- 1:22:03Speaker 4: And the fly thing is very much like zip lip,
- 1:22:06like people don't talk about how they do it, they
- 1:22:07don't talk about post it.
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: Yeah, blah blah blah. Well, lately I'm starting to see
- 1:22:11more people posting it, and I'm not gonna get on
- 1:22:13like post this ship. But today someone posted it was
- 1:22:18just a black screen of Hey, oh you guys, tarpafish
- 1:22:21in here, shut up, keep it secret? What you what
- 1:22:24the fuck?
- 1:22:24Speaker 11: Like?
- 1:22:25Speaker 3: What are you doing? Well? He's like creating even a
- 1:22:27more problem because he is posting about them posting. It's like,
- 1:22:31why don't you just send them like you're you're doing
- 1:22:34the same thing they're doing. You're posting that people are
- 1:22:37fly fishing for.
- 1:22:37Speaker 5: Tarping right now, big overgrown herrings.
- 1:22:40Speaker 4: Get well here, I've been here twenty years old. I've
- 1:22:45hooked to Tarpin and Charleston in my twenty years.
- 1:22:47Speaker 3: I've seen one of them.
- 1:22:48Speaker 4: You saw one of them. But the thing is like,
- 1:22:51it's such a very specific, very hard thing to do
- 1:22:54that you need to spend a lot of time on
- 1:22:55the water to even understand the very basis of how
- 1:22:58to do it. It doesn't matter minus putting up minus
- 1:23:04putting up exact locations and times and tide stages that
- 1:23:08you're fishing with with pictures that include landmarks for someone
- 1:23:11to find where you're at, minus that there's no way,
- 1:23:16like I could tell you right now, I stuck for
- 1:23:17tarpin this morning in Charleston, South Carolina, and I don't
- 1:23:20give a fuck. If you've never done it here, or
- 1:23:23you live here and you've never fished, you have no
- 1:23:26idea how to even go about trying to even look
- 1:23:28for what I was doing where I was doing it
- 1:23:30how I was doing it, because it is very different
- 1:23:33than how you tarp and fishing anywhere else on the planet.
- 1:23:36And so like my thing is, like I've never understood.
- 1:23:39Speaker 5: I don't even tarp is you're all talking about.
- 1:23:42Speaker 4: But I mean, like I never said the quiet thing,
- 1:23:44Like I could understand not posting pictures with landmarks and
- 1:23:47not saying like, oh, we fished the falling tide at
- 1:23:49such and such creek, you know, and we're fishing right
- 1:23:53here and we're drifting flies with a sinking tip or
- 1:23:56this type of fly.
- 1:23:56Speaker 11: You know.
- 1:23:57Speaker 4: I can understand there's certain rules. Obviously they wouldn't.
- 1:24:00Speaker 3: Maybe I can count on my hand though, how many
- 1:24:01people haven't figured out.
- 1:24:03Speaker 4: There's oh yet, very few. And most of those guys
- 1:24:05don't talk about it, but mainly just because they're not guy.
- 1:24:09Speaker 11: No.
- 1:24:10Speaker 4: And most of those guys. I ran into one of
- 1:24:12those guys today. I was I ran into Colt at
- 1:24:14the dock and uh down at Cherry Point. He was
- 1:24:17coming in with clients and I was finishing my day
- 1:24:19and we were talking and that's a dude who sticks
- 1:24:21a lot of tarping on the fly. Yeah, well he
- 1:24:24had sharp charter this morning. But yeah, other than trying
- 1:24:27to make money. Yeah, he does go, but he doesn't.
- 1:24:30He's not an online persona guy like he does. That's
- 1:24:33not his bag, so he's not posting about it. But
- 1:24:35that guy sticks double digits every year on fly in
- 1:24:39South Carolina. But once again, even me knowing Colt, knowing
- 1:24:42the general area he fishes, knowing the general way that
- 1:24:45he fishes them, I still don't know exactly how Colt
- 1:24:49does it or where he does.
- 1:24:50Speaker 8: Like, I can't.
- 1:24:51Speaker 4: I couldn't take you out there right now, today and
- 1:24:53or tomorrow and be like, all right, we're gonna go
- 1:24:54fish where Colt fishes and I'm gonna fish them. Just no,
- 1:24:56I can't because I don't know. I don't know what
- 1:24:58he does and he even if I did, I still
- 1:25:01wouldn't do it right. Probably like it's very it's it takes.
- 1:25:04It's not that it's hard. It is hard, but it's
- 1:25:07only hard in the sense that you need a lot
- 1:25:08of time to spend on the water to figure this
- 1:25:11fish move so much, and they only come and they
- 1:25:15come in and they come out, and they'll disappear for
- 1:25:17days at a time. And then you know, and these
- 1:25:19guys and guys like Colton know that you know, these
- 1:25:21tides and these type of winds, like they'll be over here.
- 1:25:23They like it over here. The bay gets pushed over here,
- 1:25:25Like I mean, he knows all that stuff because he
- 1:25:27spends every day on the water and he knows it.
- 1:25:29But like it's such a very finicky fishery that it's
- 1:25:33just funny to me that guys think that there's like, uh,
- 1:25:35like that you're gonna give it away, Like you couldn't
- 1:25:38give it away. I know what you're saying.
- 1:25:41Speaker 3: I frustrated and think about it.
- 1:25:42Speaker 4: To me is the whole Yeah, I mean I can
- 1:25:46understand not wanting a bunch of guys out there fucking
- 1:25:48up your fishing. But like I said, if unless you
- 1:25:52tell him where you're at and what time and tide
- 1:25:54and all that kind of ship Like you can even
- 1:25:56tell him where you're at, but if you don't tell
- 1:25:57him what tiede you're fishing, they ain't gonna get it. Yeah,
- 1:26:01because those fish are very tied to specific and most
- 1:26:03of the areas that we fishing. Yeah, And it's just
- 1:26:05funny to me. It's you know, I think you're more
- 1:26:10danger of somebody seeing you out there jump one in
- 1:26:12a specific area, because then that guy knows exactly when
- 1:26:15and where you were when that fish went air born,
- 1:26:17and that that you know, but that's not you know,
- 1:26:19whatever one guy sees you, it is what it is.
- 1:26:22And I've seen that happen where the next day I've
- 1:26:24gone back out there and that guy right there. For sure.
- 1:26:27The one time we went out there and I hooked
- 1:26:29one and the guy came out, and I came out
- 1:26:31the next day and the same guy was like the
- 1:26:32guy that saw me hook that fish was there and
- 1:26:35had like bait on bobbers in every direction. It's just
- 1:26:38like he had staked out in the middle of where
- 1:26:39I'd hooked that fish and just like sent mullet and everywhere.
- 1:26:42I was like, you son of a bitch. If he
- 1:26:44was gonna come back, at least come back with a
- 1:26:45fly rod.
- 1:26:46Speaker 5: Wait, this would be the right time.
- 1:26:48Speaker 3: Here.
- 1:26:48Speaker 4: Oh, it's it's on. Yeah, it's there here, Yeah, I
- 1:26:51mean there, And like I said, I'll say it on
- 1:26:53the radio. So the guy with the black screen funk off.
- 1:26:55There are tarpat in South Carolina. Yeah, we were catching
- 1:26:58on fly right now. He's the Royal Lee Because I
- 1:27:01definitely there comes another one star. But the thing is, like,
- 1:27:05you know, we have him every year. They're always here.
- 1:27:09But I will warn you if you want to come
- 1:27:11try it, it's fine and dandy, but it ain't. You know,
- 1:27:13it's gonna take you a minute and take a minute
- 1:27:15to figure it out. It ain't. I looked for him,
- 1:27:20I couldn't find him. Oh yeah, give me, but yeah,
- 1:27:25he just is. I hate that ship. Like. It's one
- 1:27:27thing like to like complain about very like specific fisheries.
- 1:27:32Like if you were on a trout stream and you
- 1:27:34were like, oh man, the bite's on on the Missouri
- 1:27:36right now, and then everybody shows up at Missouri, you
- 1:27:39can get mad at that guy, right, like this is
- 1:27:41one fucking river. That's the only place you could be.
- 1:27:43But this ain't like that.
- 1:27:44Speaker 3: Baby.
- 1:27:45Speaker 4: There's hundreds and thousands of miles of coastlines.
- 1:27:50Speaker 3: In the Chesapeake Bay.
- 1:27:51Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw that on the thing.
- 1:27:53Speaker 3: Yeah, the Virginia. Well, that's the thing.
- 1:27:57Speaker 4: Everybody knows. They're all up and down. Is how to
- 1:27:59talk him. That's the hard part, which, like I said,
- 1:28:02unless you're dumb enough to post your it's not it's
- 1:28:05not my favorite way to tarpingfish out on lone.
- 1:28:08Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I got a couple buddies that are like, hey,
- 1:28:11go on Thursday morning. I'm like, man, I'd rather kind
- 1:28:13of just sleep two more hours.
- 1:28:14Speaker 4: And it's definitely that don patrol to get out there
- 1:28:18to if you want to see them, if you want
- 1:28:20to see them and fish for them, unless like there
- 1:28:22are some places where they get on bait balls and
- 1:28:24things like that where you can get them bust and baby.
- 1:28:25But and then that's even more frustrating because you see
- 1:28:28them busting ship all around you.
- 1:28:29Speaker 3: But what's the chance you're gonna find you ye exactly.
- 1:28:32Speaker 4: You know, there's all kinds of I've heard of some
- 1:28:35some top secret locations where guys have found them sliding
- 1:28:38across sandbars where you can actually visually see him. But
- 1:28:41that's also you're talking about water clarity, tide Todd's state.
- 1:28:44You know, we got six foot fucking tides, So that
- 1:28:46sandbar is either gonna be dry part of the day
- 1:28:49and it's gonna be you know, six feet deep in
- 1:28:51the rest of the day. And then if it rained
- 1:28:52too much the day before or the tide was too
- 1:28:54big and it kicked up too much mud, you're not
- 1:28:55gonna be you know what I'm saying, it's just gotta
- 1:28:58be first perfect mullet. Oh hell yeah, I have mullet.
- 1:29:03Yeah yeah, I love that shit.
- 1:29:05Speaker 5: Try to cast it.
- 1:29:07Speaker 4: Oh, I'm good at I'm good at the cast net. Dude.
- 1:29:10I'll tell you what you do. You go right behind
- 1:29:12bull Eland. You know, you get cast net right there
- 1:29:14between the alligators coming out of Jack Creek. You get
- 1:29:17you a whole eye well full of mullet, and then
- 1:29:20you drive your boat around the corner, find your spot
- 1:29:22in inlant over there, and just start soaking them. Now
- 1:29:25you go catch one hundred sharks to everyone tarping, But
- 1:29:27every once in a while do.
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: One time, Jake and I were fishing right there, right
- 1:29:32behind the island, right on that little point, and we
- 1:29:35were catching shark after shark, and the shark after shark
- 1:29:37in this one spot. Thirty minutes later, that ferry comes
- 1:29:41with the people that go on the beach, just swimming
- 1:29:44right in where we were catching all those damn sharks,
- 1:29:46and we had moved like one hundred yards at that point.
- 1:29:49It's just like, man like, if they knew how many
- 1:29:52fucking sharks lived right there. Yeah, And every time you
- 1:29:55go to.
- 1:29:55Speaker 4: You can't put a mullet out there without a shark,
- 1:29:57just destroying it.
- 1:29:58Speaker 3: Man, just all this spinner shark and they're fun.
- 1:30:01Speaker 4: I mean, you can sit there and have a good
- 1:30:02old time fun and every once while you get a
- 1:30:04big ass redfish. And me and Logan Marshware, fellow Marshware,
- 1:30:08we went out and we were tarpafishing quote unquote, and
- 1:30:12we caught a bunch of uh we were We weren't
- 1:30:15at bulls of I forget where we're but anyway, we
- 1:30:17were yanking on sharks all day. If you're not catching sharks,
- 1:30:20you're not probably gonna catch tarp And that's you know
- 1:30:22what kind of works. They all kind of patrol the
- 1:30:23same area. But then we got the biggest red fish versus.
- 1:30:27And Logan's got a picture of him with it across
- 1:30:28his lap. I don't It was fifty plus inches long,
- 1:30:32but I don't know. It was a barrel like the
- 1:30:34thing was just it was round. We had to like
- 1:30:36roll it into the boat like I had to weigh
- 1:30:38fifty pounds. I don't, I don't know. It was huge,
- 1:30:40and Logan's got a picture of him sitting on the bow.
- 1:30:42It's still the biggest red fish I've ever seen in
- 1:30:43my life just inhaled an entire live mullet, just like
- 1:30:46I'm talking a horse dick mullet, like a big and
- 1:30:49and it just fucking mold.
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: H.
- 1:30:53Speaker 4: Yeah, that's I don't claim that at all. That's johnn
- 1:30:56One all the way. That's his old horse dicks.
- 1:31:01Speaker 3: We should we bring this one session closed, figure out
- 1:31:03plans for last session.
- 1:31:05Speaker 4: I need a beer, so I agree with that assessment. Well,
- 1:31:08let's let's uh, I'm gonna we're gonna tone it out.
- 1:31:13Speaker 3: Maybe I should put the Ranger game on. It's a
- 1:31:15little fade out here here.
- 1:31:16Speaker 4: You you're getting distracted over there with your scores.
- 1:31:34Speaker 3: Of course a commercial. Hey all right, well never mind.
- 1:31:37Speaker 4: That it was a try. It was working. You have
- 1:31:45to show so many faces. I don't never know.
- 1:31:52Speaker 3: I travel.
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: Down.
- 1:32:22Speaker 3: We've gotta talk to Richard at some point.
- 1:32:23Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Richard Caso does tend to show up at places.
- 1:32:27This seems like a place you can park a trailer
- 1:32:28on here.
- 1:32:31Speaker 3: I think we're gonna have germs. Got a couple of minutes.
- 1:32:38Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no way Richard didn't slide is You got

- 1:34:05Speaker 1: Do?
- 1:34:05Speaker 5: You know where it's at I sold that.
- 1:34:07Speaker 12: To a kayak fisherman.
- 1:34:10Speaker 5: Hey, I told you.
- 1:34:12Speaker 12: Out of Tampa who was like, I'm tired of paddling
- 1:34:16so far. I'm like, this is the boat for you.
- 1:34:18Speaker 4: Earlier we were talking about kayak fisherman. I was hoping
- 1:34:21they didn't hear me, but I was like at some
- 1:34:22point these kayaks nowadays with the motors, and then I'm
- 1:34:25like just by Geena like it costs less probably a kayak,
- 1:34:30and I'm like, and it's you can take a friend
- 1:34:31with you.
- 1:34:34Speaker 5: I hope that that you had a lot of mod Joe.
- 1:34:39Speaker 4: Yeah, that thing was that thing was covered you telling
- 1:34:41you actually punched a hole in the bottom of it too.
- 1:34:44Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:34:44Speaker 11: We we fished in the back country in the Everglades
- 1:34:46one time, so I got talked into You were part, Mikey,
- 1:34:49you were part of the talking me into this. Also,
- 1:34:51by the way, launching in the back country the other glades,
- 1:34:55and We've got gear for a week to stay on
- 1:34:57the chicken, so I've gonna guinea and we're like, I'm like, oh,
- 1:35:02let's drop it and then carry stuff down the ramp
- 1:35:04and load it, and like, oh, it's easier to load
- 1:35:06it from the when it's attached to the truck.
- 1:35:08Speaker 3: That's what I did.
- 1:35:10Speaker 11: I'm like, there's a lot of weight on this. I
- 1:35:13listened and I got pure pressured into it. And when
- 1:35:15I was when I was pushing it off the trailer,
- 1:35:19I heard this giant crunch and I was like, what
- 1:35:23is that? Was like, yes, yeah, yeah, so it somehow
- 1:35:27when it was sliding off the bunks, there was too
- 1:35:28much weight on the front.
- 1:35:30Speaker 4: And it crunched the bunk went through the hole.
- 1:35:32Speaker 12: It did it did it like a green it did
- 1:35:35it did like a green stick fracture for four or five.
- 1:35:39Speaker 5: It's very funny. Mike has not told us, Oh.
- 1:35:41Speaker 12: Yeah, so we didn't know, Like I knew something sounded off.
- 1:35:47Speaker 11: And so we shoot back to a chicky you were
- 1:35:50like whatever, twenty five miles back and the water a
- 1:35:54lot of water coming with the bill.
- 1:35:56Speaker 12: Just coming on like every twelve minutes. Yeah, I had, well,
- 1:36:01we I learned from the last time we went down
- 1:36:03there handpunk, so.
- 1:36:04Speaker 4: Oh yeah you have if you're going in the back country.
- 1:36:08Speaker 12: So so the so the thing was we started noticing
- 1:36:10water in the boat and I'm like, okay, the minute
- 1:36:13the little motorcycle battery doesn't work, were we got to
- 1:36:16head out of here and so, but it was in
- 1:36:18the water the whole week, so we couldn't tell. We
- 1:36:19couldn't pull it to see what was wrong. And we
- 1:36:22called it the Tarbaon extruder, like a turtle extruder, because
- 1:36:25we'd be in like a little creek in the back
- 1:36:27country and we'd see like a fish ahead of us.
- 1:36:30We we had a whole idea in our head, like, oh,
- 1:36:32it's only been like eight minutes. We're like, we're going
- 1:36:33to hang back here.
- 1:36:34Speaker 3: There.
- 1:36:34Speaker 4: We go, okay, we're clear.
- 1:36:38Speaker 12: We got twelve minutes and we all for it and
- 1:36:40and go fish this fish, because it would it would
- 1:36:42run them off. When we pulled the boat, I realized
- 1:36:45it was it was like a green stick fracture.
- 1:36:48Speaker 5: Yeah, but it was the right direction.
- 1:36:50Speaker 11: If it had gone the other way, it would have
- 1:36:52been like a like a high speed pickup right and
- 1:36:54forced water.
- 1:36:55Speaker 4: In the hall. So it just it just leaked for
- 1:36:57a week, delaminated. But yeah, but in the right door.
- 1:37:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotcha.
- 1:37:03Speaker 12: Yeah, Yeah, that was fun. We came back one time and.
- 1:37:07Speaker 4: He had it just for the guy in Tampa. He
- 1:37:08had a professionally repaired by a boat guy.
- 1:37:12Speaker 12: Yeah, if you're if you're in Tampa and you're that guy,
- 1:37:15I hope that thing is still running.
- 1:37:18Speaker 11: So we came back. I remember we came back one
- 1:37:20time and we got to Charleston. I randomly ran in
- 1:37:21somebody at an event like this.
- 1:37:23Speaker 12: And he was like, I think I saw a guine
- 1:37:25nude back in late April early May running across the
- 1:37:29Gulf of Mexico and some slop. And I was like, uh, yeah,
- 1:37:33I'm appy sure that was.
- 1:37:34Speaker 5: Me and Luke.
- 1:37:37Speaker 4: Oh that thing, man, it's awesome. I think I did
- 1:37:39tell the last podcast we did, I talked about running
- 1:37:43back and looking over at you guys, because my salt
- 1:37:46marsh and you're Guinea about the same speed, give or take,
- 1:37:48and looking over and Luke and the bean bag at
- 1:37:52your feet, leaning back you with a bag of wine
- 1:37:55over his head and like him like just pouring wine
- 1:37:58into his mouth at full speed, like full haul through
- 1:38:01like Whitewater Bay.
- 1:38:03Speaker 5: Was that was that the same year as you with
- 1:38:05the forty inch snut?
- 1:38:06Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:38:07Speaker 5: Yeah, that was yeah.
- 1:38:08Speaker 4: That was Oh my god, so games win big prizes
- 1:38:12speak speaking of I don't have you ever told the
- 1:38:14story about when when we raced back from that island
- 1:38:17up north of Cape Romain. Now the corner. Okay, all
- 1:38:19right here, here's a good one.
- 1:38:21Speaker 12: So so we had the unit. Mikey got the salt
- 1:38:24marsh and he's like, salt marshes so fast. I'm like,
- 1:38:26bitch that faster.
- 1:38:28Speaker 4: We were fast.
- 1:38:30Speaker 11: No, we were like a half a mile an hour
- 1:38:33from each over ten miles the guine. You could leave it,
- 1:38:37but that's it. Anything less than that you couldn't. So
- 1:38:39we left just about the same time from this place
- 1:38:41one time, and I'm like, I'm gonna beat him back
- 1:38:43to that ramp. We were running back to Garris and
- 1:38:46it was a long run, but I was like, I
- 1:38:48don't have the distance to close, like the one hundred feet.
- 1:38:52Speaker 12: So it's still a flood tide. So you come up
- 1:38:53to the fairy doc. I'm like I could clear that.
- 1:38:57So I turned and run. What it tried to shot man?
- 1:39:02I shot under the fairy dog.
- 1:39:05Speaker 4: All wanted to win back.
- 1:39:07Speaker 12: Almost made it.
- 1:39:10Speaker 5: Canada, Huh almost, I mean I slowed.
- 1:39:13Speaker 12: I wasn't like going like wide open, but I slowed down.
- 1:39:15Speaker 11: We're still on playing, still on plane, and I and
- 1:39:18I and I locked it down and I duck down
- 1:39:20and the t board push poll caddy hit the HIPing.

- 1:39:29goes by and he's like, ye, He's like, what the
- 1:39:30hell are you doing.

- 1:44:03and college, and I can't speak I can't speak Spanish
- 1:44:05at all, so I'm not we know that.
- 1:44:09Speaker 3: Well.
- 1:44:09Speaker 4: I can read it pretty well. I can read Spanish
- 1:44:12like I can actually, but if somebody's native starts talking
- 1:44:14to me, I got nothing. I can't but that's your Milliu.
- 1:44:17So I actually have downloaded an app. I've already started
- 1:44:19brushing up on the Spanish so that when I get
- 1:44:22down there I can talk to my GUIDs and.
- 1:44:23Speaker 11: I can do when you when you when you leaned
- 1:44:26into that and said brushing up almost Spanish. One of
- 1:44:32my one of my new happy places that I just
