  Speaker 1: on Vice about a Montana man stuck in a vault
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a vault toilet at a fishing access site. That's the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: connection to this show is because we like, we spent
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of time talking about the outdoors, hunting, fishing obviously,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and so since it was a fishing access site, it
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: was fair game if you had gotten stuck in I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: don't know, like at a Monsters rock festival or something
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: like that. It had nothing to you know what I mean,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It just be I would never even read the article,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: but it's it's a fishing story deep down. You with
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that Hayden, you catalog it under fishing story catalog. Now
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: we so a man who had allegedly gone in to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: retrieve his phone got stuck in a pit toilet at
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a fishing access site and spent some hours down there. Uh.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: We were talking about how we would love to get
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: that gentleman on the show to talk about his adventure. Um,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: he has not come forward. However, today we will hear
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: from we have here live in the studio, the American hero.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: We have in the studio, the man who just made
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the discovery and and performed the rescue. We've also got
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: just there's one of those things like this thing about
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: falling into a pit toilet, falling into an outhouse toilet
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: or climbing into one. At first felt like such a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: weird anomaly, but we have received so much fee back
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: from people um about similar escapades that it's like it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: like we tapped into one of the like the hidden world,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a hidden world of this. Right away we heard from
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a woman we got a picture. It's on if you
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: go on my Instagram, like at Steven Ornell, you'll see
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a picture of a young lady crim dozer. Yeah, we
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: should make it. This should be our third calendar. That's
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: all I wanted yea. So we have a picture of
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a young lady um suspended through the i guess the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: pedestal of a pit toilet, trying to use her feet
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to fish out a phone that fell in. We just recovered.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: We just reported on another story of from a firefighter
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: out in New Jersey whose crew had to recover a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: man who was down in the vault of a pit
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: toilet at a at a boat launch. Again it turned
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: out he was a fetishist. Uh. We then got from
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: we had a long letter from another person involved the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: law enforcement who talked about what a recurring issue it
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: is with fetishists, and he spent some time with the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Forest Service and had a lot of run ins with them,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and he said the National forests really are the land
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of many uses. Even describes a harrowing story of later
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: padding down a person that he had found in the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: vault toilet to find that he had had filled his
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: pockets with the excrement found in said toilet. Some lift
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: operators who had to rescue an owl out of a
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: pit toilet and they had to lower their colleague down
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: into the quote cesspool of ship and piss and he
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: rescued the owl. It goes on and on. One person
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: even rolled that they even changed the structure of their
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: pit toilet things in order that there's not a beam
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: with which people can more easily get themselves in there,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: because they imagine they're going to get out easily, but
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: they wind up getting so slicked up they can't get
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: purchase on the beam. So to prevent them from lowering
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: themselves in, they removed this thing. Where is his beam?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: He didn't get into a lot of details, but he
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: mentioned like a structural He mentioned making a structural adjustment
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that it wouldn't be like such a simple matter to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: get down in there. So it's like a thing man,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: you know, like you peel back the layers of the onion.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: And everybody listening, most people listen have been into one
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: of these structures. Oh, I've stared down many a hole.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And i've because I read the signs about like don't
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: put weird stuff down in here because it's hard to
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: get it out. Yeah, you know, who we should have
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: had looking, but I'll look, we should have had Miles
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: on to give us a little bit of insight. Yeah,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: because he's the guy that when you put weird stuff in,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: he's the guy that has to try to act going
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to take care of it. Yeah, he manages a lot
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: of the fishing accessish toilet states in eastern Montana. He
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: would have been a great source. Yeah. Maybe what he'll

  Speaker 1: And he had photoshop. I was convinced he had photoshop
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: this picture of him standing next to this ball toilet.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was just it was so terrible. I
• 9:53

  Speaker 1: what he's been up. This is no longer I trade shooting. Yeah, yeah,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: that kind of blows easily. Yeah, he's into making fake
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: stuff after straight a whole career straight shooting, after several
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: years of making stuff up? Why would I believe this?
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: And he just so happened in a few weeks after
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the year. What was the photo he sent you of
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: him standing at the at the toilet with the individual
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: stuck up to his neck and Joe standing there with
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: these I was convinced it was like Mickey Mouse rubber
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: gloves on that he had he had mocked up and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and I just looked at it, and it's like looking
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: at one of those glory pictures of Sasquatch. You just like,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: who had snapped the photo? Did you snap? No? It
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: was it's the picture that was on Facebook. So there
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: was another couple that he'll talk about that were there,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and she's the one who took the picture. Yes, yeah,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: so she she just kind of casually walked over and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: clicked it real quick. And social media. Yeah, so you
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: don't know if she posted it or she sent it
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: to somebody and then they posted it. So we have
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: no idea how that got on Facebook. And when Joe
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: was after I realized after a night of sitting on
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: our deck and having a couple of beers, and Joe
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: starts telling the story, and I realized, my god, this
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: thing is true. So you were originally just dismissed it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I didn't give it two seconds worth of thought,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: just just because I knew Joe and anyway, as he's
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: getting into this story, and I'm realizing, my god, this
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: is a true story, atly some parts of it. The
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: other couple that was sitting there with us, she bring
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: quietly brings up a little bit of your podcast earlier on,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm starting to kind of like, oh my god, Joe,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta finish the rest of the story.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, this thing is out there and nobody knows
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: really quite what happened. You got to tell this story,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and Joe felt that the reporting that we did was
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: a little off. It was it was by far the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: most accurate, but it was still a little bit off.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: And Uh, Joe tells me, well, yeah, you know, I
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: sent a message to you know, Steve on Instagram. I
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: don't know why he hasn't gotten back to me. And
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I never have. I just never. I an't I alre'tven
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: know how to go about getting in there and looking
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: at This was on a Saturday of Labor Day weekend,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: So Sunday morning, Joe and uh Christian and their friends
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Dan and Cathy, they all head back to Helena and Uh,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the dust hadn't cleared my driveway, and I went flying
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: inside and I just went right to you know, like
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: meat eater dot com. And I just started finding places
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to actually send an email, not just an Instagram post,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and uh, send something off. It's Labor Day weekend, Sunday morning.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: You know, of course, nothing's happening on that day. Monday's
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: a holiday, nothing's happening. By the time Tuesday comes around,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I've kind of forgotten the whole thing. And I go
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: downtown and do something. I come home and geez, my
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: phone's lit up. I've got I've got a couple of
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: phone calls I've missed from a number that I doesn't
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I don't recognize. It's Karin's number. Followed up with a
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: text message and it's a good thing you you texted,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: because I wouldn't have paid any attention. And I play
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the voicemail and as karinn and she's laughing so hard.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I can hardly get the I can hardly get the message.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: And she's like, oh my god, Bruce, you've got to
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: call me. You've got to call me now. And she
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: had the text message to boot and so I called

  Speaker 1: her and she just starts laughing and she says, yes,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: we want to we want to meet the guy Joe,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And uh, she says do a do an introduction via text,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you know, text Joe and Karin at the same time.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And so I did that and I literally sent the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: text and I could just do a countdown three, two, one,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: queue the phone, and Joe calls me. He's like, what
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the hell. Well, you know what's funny about this is
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: since you didn't respond and you just ignored me. I
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: went on to Karin's uh Instagram, uh site or whatever
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: you call it, and I sent her a message and
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I mean, it literally wasn't ten seconds after
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I sent this, I got that text from Bruce coincidence. Yeah,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: it was weird. And so I was like, so that's
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: when I called him, and I said, I started to
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: respond via text, and I saw there was another number
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: on there who I obviously didn't know who it was,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and I thought, no, I better not because it wasn't
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: a very nice text, you know. But so I called
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: him and I said, what the hell, come on? He
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: goes nope, and he told me this story and he said,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you know, you need to call her. So I get
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I after I phone said okay, I'll give her a call.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: So I called and I started to leave a message
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: and then I heard the phone peeping through and then
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: made connection with Karin and we chatted for a while.

  Speaker 1: went through Missoula, said we'll just do a big loop.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: So we stopped at a brewery and had some lunch
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and stuff, then off to Sula and said, well, when
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: we go back, let's let's go back through the Big
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Hole and so, um, you know, we got coffee and
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: water and we got out of Wisdom. Um, I don't
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: know ten miles or so, and I told Chris Esse God,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I gotta pee. And you're driving along the Big Hole River,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: driving along the Big Hole River, and I said, I
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: have to pee And asked her do you have to go?
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Which is always a yes, but this since and it
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: was a no. One she goes, can't you can just
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: wait till the rest area around the interstate and no, no. So,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: you know a couple of usually I'll just pull over
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: on the side of the road, you know, sure, go
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and I I started tune and I went, now, you know, Kristen,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: if I stopped, she's she's gonna go. And uh so,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I thought, well, let's just pull into fish Trap. This
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: is this is the intimacy you get after you know,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: you dial, You're like you're playing in ahead. What they
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: don't you don't you know more than they know about
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: when they're gonna want to be Yeah, I mean, well,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and I know my wife well enough that I could
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: stop literally every ten miles since she could pee, so
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: that we're moving on. But uh so, I said, well,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just let's just stop at fish trap because my
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: wife actually likes that. When she's was heading back to
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: salmon and stuff, she'd always she stopped there because it
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: was kind of a easy stop and quick and go.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: So I pulled in there. And when we pulled in,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: which was really surprising, there was not another soul. They're
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: usually there'll be a camper camp there. Uh, you know,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: maybe somebody weighed fish and boat launch and I you know,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I think it was really hot. I mean it was
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: ninety degrees at least, and and and I think the
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: big hole was on hood owl restrictions at this point,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: so there wasn't anybody tell people that means just well, basically,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: whod all the restrictions are? You gotta stop fishing on
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the river at two two o'clock in the afternoon, and
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: so you can't fish from two to seven in the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: morning or six in the morning or something like that
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: because the water temperatures like it's like it's too too
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: hard on fish. Yeah. Yeah, the water temperature gets over
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and it's sixty eight degrees or something at seventy degrees,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and then if you catch them and let them go,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: mortality mortality goes. Yeah. So I pulled in there and
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: there was nobody there, and and you know, I'm sitting
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: there thinking to myself, I'll watch the I'll turn around
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the corner to the vault toilet and there'll be one
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: car there. And I turned around and there was a
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: pick up there, and I was just like, nice pickup. Oh,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: it looks like a work truck. Um, any particular company
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: written on it. Not that I noticed plate number. I
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I don't have the plate number memorized. Um, but I
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: thought crap. So I just parked and I thought, well,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I'll just walk over. I was actually just gonna walk
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: over to the bushes just yonder. Yeah. Uh. I thought no,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: My luck is there's a couple of trails. And I thought,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: as soon as I do that, whoever's in that truck
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: is gonna come walking out. Now I'm just exact. I
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: thought I'll just go use the the vault toilet. So,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: but did you call the vault toilet prior? I probably
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: called it an outhouse. After this, after this whole thing,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: for sure, Yeah, yeah, it's gonna for sure I'm gonna
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: like start really differentiating. Uh yeah, I'm becoming you know.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: It made me more professional and how I call, Oh, yeah,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: something out the guy that really knows what's going on,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah. So anyway, I walked up to the door,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: grabbed the handle. It's locked, and I'm like, so I thought, well,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I'll just go back to the bush. Yeah. I started
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: walking away and I hear a guy go hello, and
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I go, you know, just kind of hello, you know,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: you like into myself. Yeah, I know you're in the
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: doors locked and uh. So I started to keep walking
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and night Christen, where are you right now? So I
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: was in the truck then, just waiting for him to
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: get out, because actually I did have to go after that. Yeah,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: is that all ending? It's true? You do? You learn
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: there after thirty two years. So I was waiting my turn.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: So here's the hello and I hello, and uh and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: so uh, all of a sudden, he goes, I need help,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and I said, you need help? What's what's going on?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: It was I dropped my phone in the toilet and
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I went in after it and I'm stuck. And I went,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: you're stuck and he goes, yeah, I'm stuck. I said,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: is your head down in the toilet? Because I you know,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I envisioned he crawled in head first and trying to
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: fish it out. He goes, no, my head's above the toilet.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, okay, all right, well I know you
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: can at least your heads above you know, water, and
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and so I said, hang on a minute, I've got
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to my truck and pull out a
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: couple of screwdrivers tools, just to see if I can
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: get this door open somehow. And he goes, okay, he's calm,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: he's calm, pretty calm. And I said, how long have
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: you been in there? And he goes, I've been in
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: here for three hours, and you're the first person to stop.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: And I went three hours and he goes, yeah, three hours.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: And he goes, I've been trying to crawl out of this,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: and I'm all scraped up and I'm I'm just beat.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I'm absolutely whipped. I can't get I can't get myself out.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: And I said, okay, all right, And I'm still in
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: my mind trying to process how somebody would crawl down into,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: you know, the pedestal toilet, you know, I just you know.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: So I walked back to my truck and I opened
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: my back door to lifted my seat up and get
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: a couple of screw drivers. UM and I. Kristen looked
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: at me, and she goes, what's wrong, because I had
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: to look on his face like, holy sh it, something
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: just happening, and and I said, I just looked at
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: her and I went, uh, there's a guy. The doors
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: locked and the guys in there stuck in the toilet.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: He's in the toilet. And she goes, what the hell,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: what you can't I said, that's what he told me.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Needs help. I got to try to get him out.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: And she's like, oh God. So she gets out. So
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I walked over and from the reason I grabbed screw drivers.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: You know, of course, that particular vault toilet you know,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't just have the button lock on the handle, it's
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: got a bolt, got dead bolt lock. I thought, well,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think I don't know if I can get
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: that get in there with you know, through with that.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: So I told the guy, said, hey, I'm gonna there's
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: a vent on the bottom of the door for at
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: least most of the FWP sites, just for ventilation. So
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I told the guy said, hey, I'm going to take
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the this vent door off and I'm gonna see if
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I can get down, just kick the the vent out
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: on your side. And he goes, well, it's it's screwed
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: in over here, and I said, yeah, I realized that,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: but if I can just kick it hard enough, I
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: might be able to They're not screwed in very far.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I might be able to break through. And he goes, okay.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: So I took the screws off the vent and except
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: one didn't come out, so I had to bend it
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: back and I sat down and I just started kicking
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the screen. I kicked it, I don't know, probably a
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: dozen times. And I told him, I said, well, you're right,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I can't. I can't get through this. I can't break
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: it down. They're they're screwed in better than I thought.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: He goes okay, and I said, well, just hanking tough.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna see if I can jim me this lock somehow.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: So um, so I took a flathead screw driver and
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I stuck it into the dead bolt and just started
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: reefing on it, you know, just you know, thinking I'm
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: never going to get this open, and and uh, you know,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: lo and behold. After about the sixth three pulled jim
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: In did enough and it's the door popped open. Oh yeah,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: when that popped open, it was you know again, I'm
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: talking it's ninety degrees by this time, and you know,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: it a wall of stench. Just it just about knocked
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: me over, absolutely worse than normal. There's a reason they
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: tell you to keep the lids closer, to keep the
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: lids closed. But um so, once I kind of got
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: through the whole, man, that's that's that's awful. I I
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: looked expecting to see a guy stuck in the pedestal,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: but the pedestal toilet is laying on the floor and
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: he's in the hole and as I can see is
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: his head and you know, he's kind of resting with
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: his arms up on the on the floor. So he
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: had taken those toilets, that toilet often. I didn't know
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: you could do it. And then as soon as I
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: saw that, I went, oh, that's how they clean those out,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: you know, because I was sure I was wondering, you know, God,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: that's gotta be a pain in the butt. You know,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: go get the septic truck or who whatever, pumps him
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: out and stick it down that and you know, never,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not like I lay awake at night
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: wondering how they clean bolt toilets. But how how wide
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: is that? What's the aperture on that whole? Um? Oh? Three?
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: You know it's it's kind of it's just round dish,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: maybe ovalish, three feet, you know. So he must have
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: had limited upper body strength because if you can get
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: your elbows up through a hole, well, he was so
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: so when I got when I saw him, you know,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: when I when I saw his head, I didn't think much.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I just kind of thought, oh, this is weird. How old?
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: How old is he? Oh? I suppose he's in his
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: you know, early forties, only forties, younger than yeah, yeah,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: are you older than young forties? Okay, so yeah, younger,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: probably younger than you. Certainly younger than me. Like I
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: somehow I like to picture older than me. Yeah, well
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: we can do that. So I I I when I
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: got through and I walked up to him, I just
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: kind of went, hey, how you doing? And he goes, well,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I've been fucking better. So anyway, I said, yeah, I'm
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: sure you have. I'm sure you have. So I walked
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: up to him and I looked in. He pretty much
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: fills up the whole hole. I mean, he's a big
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: he's a big man. Um. But I looked. I went, oh,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: he's naked. He doesn't have any clothes on. I turned
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: and I looked at the door, and I went, yeah,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: he is naked. All his clothes are hanging on the
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: hook in the door. And I said, so you took
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: all your clothes off, and goes, Yeah. I didn't want
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: to get him dirty. So I hung him up and
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: crawl down in here and get it, get the phone,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: and and and you know, and I was just gonna
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: crawl out, He goes, I just can't get myself out.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I just don't have the strength. And I keep getting
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: my body keeps getting stuck on the whole because he's he's,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: he's he was a mountain of a man. Like, what's
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: what's the volume of waste down in the vault? Uh? Well,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I I I'll get into that little later. I can't
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: say exactly, only based on sound like the level of
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: commitment to get down in there from him. Yeah, Well
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: it would be a matter. It's simply have just taken
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the vault toilet off or you're going in You going,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, I would say he's probably knee deep in there. Okay,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it had been just so recently
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: cleaned that he felt like he could stand over in
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the corner and be on pavement. No, no, no, you
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: were down. You were not going to avoid anything that
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: was down in that hole. Knee, Yeah, that would be
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: my guess. And and so um So when I walked in,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I the first thing I saw actually was his phone.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: He got his phone. He reached down in there and
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: dug around and got and the phone was, you know,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: just laying there on the on the on the floor
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and lit up. It was still working, So he was successful.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Why why hadn't he called there? There is no cell
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: service there. It's absolutely that entire big hole valley is
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: completely void of cell service. That sounds like a good placed.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Three hours no one shows up, But can't you call
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: like one without yeah, soul service. I have no idea.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Uh did you ever find out what he was doing
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: or how the phone got in there? All's he said
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: was he was he stopped there to do some fishing,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: and he said, well, I had some business to take
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: care of and before and he went in there and
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: he said, he just dropped his phone into the toilet.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm uh. You know it sounds like you know,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: something everybody's done. I don't usually take my phone in
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: anywhere that has no cell service, in a vault, even
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: if it does, I don't take my phone in there
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: just because you know, how many times have you taken
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: a you know, something in with you and it's slipped
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: out and went in there. It's like, oh crap, but no,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: that's down there, but it's going to stay there. But
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: I just think he walked in and I don't know
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: if he slipped or went to turn and the phone slip,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: but it dropped down in there, and and he was
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: adamant he was going to get it, you know, I
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: can't tell you why. And the phone on the floor
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: was soiled. Yeah, well it was, Yeah, no doubt it
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: was soiled. But it was still working, you know. I mean,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, like I dropped my phone in
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: our hot tub at home a week or so ago
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and pulled it out, you know, within about thirty seconds,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: and it still works. So yeah, you know, so liquid solids,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: if you know, I think it was an iPhone. I
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: think they're you know, they're pretty solid, pretty solid products.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: So um So anyway, so I told the guy, I said, well,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: and he was all scraped up. He had scrapes everywhere
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: on his body from trying to get out because edges
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: are pretty sharp on those on those holes. I mean,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: they're just completely square. And I was just like, uh yeah, man,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: the poor guy. And so I said, well, we're going
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: to try the easiest thing first, and I said, I'm
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: just gonna come. I said, I'm gonna go get some gloves,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and I said he was okay, And so as I
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: was walking, I turned around trying to make a joke,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: and he didn't think it was very funny. But I
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: turned around and said, don't go anywhere. I'll be right back,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: and he goes, I'm not gonna go anywhere. Okay, Well
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: that's not so I went and got my gloves and
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I came back in and I said, all right, I'm
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: gonna grab your hand and under your elbow arm armpit area,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: and I said, you just push with your other hand.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Let's just see if I can pull you up. I said,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard, but maybe it's our first, you know,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the first thing we gotta do. He was okay, So
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I said, I'm gonna say one, two, three,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: go and on go, just start working. I said, okay.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: So I grabbed his hands, his hand as you know,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: there's arm pit, and I went one, two, three, go,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: and I went to lift. I I didn't move them
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: an eighth of an inch. I mean, it was just
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I just went, hell, this is not gonna work, and
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: he goes, yeah, plus I'm tired. I just can't. I
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: can't push myself up. I went, okay. So, uh you know,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: he did say, he goes, if I could get just
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: a little elevation something to stand on, it might help,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: you know, help push myself out as your lift. And
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: I said, okay. I said, well, I don't have anything
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: in my in my truck. Uh you know, I I
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: did think, well, I could put you know, Kristen down
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: in the hole and stand on her shoulders, but I don't.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think she would have gone for that. So
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: so I went, you know, I just did not have
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: anything in my truck. I had a couple of fly
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: rods and uh, you know a little travel bag, and
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: that wasn't gonna work. So I went to his pickup
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: and I looked in the back and he had two
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: pieces of would basically you know, quarter sections like firewood
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: that were um, we're chopped that he had back there.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: So so I grabbed one of those and uh, I
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: took that in and I said, let's try this. He goes, well,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: it might be pretty wobbly. I don't know if it's
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: gonna work. I said, well, we really don't have a
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: whole lot of options right now. I mean, we got
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: to give this a try. And he goes, yeah, you're right.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I said, so can you get that down there? Because
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at him, I'm looking at the whole and
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going there isn't a quarter inch or how bench
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: of room between his body and it's a tight fit
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: even when he duck away from the hole. Yeah, yeah,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: he could. I mean, you know, like I said, he was,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: he was. He was a big man. And I I
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: just just like, I don't know how we can get
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: this in there. But you'll see, you know, I'll let
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: him do what he needs to do and to see
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: if he can, you know, squase it between his So
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I said, okay, take this and let's give this a try.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Give this a shot. He goes, I said, yeah, can
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: you get that in there? And he goes, oh, yeah,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I can get it. I can get it there. And
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I said okay. So I gave him a block of
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: wood and he dropped in the hole and I just went,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: holy shit. I was like, oh my god, he's gone.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: He fell in, he sunk. He's just you know, and
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what, you know. I was just kind
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: of freaked out about it. And I hear him down
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: in the hole just walking around. Knowledge you can hear,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: you know, it's the sound you can of all this
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: here stuff coming up between his toes, like walking through
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the marsh. Yeah. Yeah. And so the you know, the
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: block of wood is you know, maybe twelve inches tall,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe sixteen inches, and you can hear
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: him down there, you know, pushing it down and getting
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: his studies. He guys down, his head pops back up.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I said, did you get it in there? And he goes, yeah,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: it's kind of wobbly, but you know it might work.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: And I went, okay, okay, And now I'm looking at thinking,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know which hand he used to do that,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: but I had a long sleeve shirt and gloves. I that, okay, well,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: we just got to get this poor guy out of here.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: And had had had you at this point, has you
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: thought I'm gonna leave this to the professionals, or were
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: you just like committed to making at this point, I
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: was a d percent committed to get him out, uh,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: you know, just to see if we could get him out,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: because you know, he'd been in there for three hours.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, so i'd call you a
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: good Smaritan. But my understanding of a Smaritan is they
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: were generally bad people. Yeah, some people say someone's a
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: good smart and they're messing it up. It's like a
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: good Smaritan was, these are like bad people, but here
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: one did a good turn. That was my understanding. A
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: little known fact about being a good Smarit. No, I
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't throw that around because you might
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: be like, well, what's wrong with me? Well, no, I
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: actually was kind of thinking about that. Technically probably fits.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: So you're really good at being a bad person, really
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: good at being a bad person, that's right. So so anyway,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: you're just a nice guy. Next time you go into
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: the coffee shot, you can when and you can be like, hey,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: can you give me the nice guy deal? And'd be like, really, bro, listen,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: pull the dude out of a well. But you know,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: and really, where I was thinking is you know, when
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: I go inside of all toilet, hopefully somebody will do
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: the same. So anyway, so we got he's got the
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: block of wood down there, and he comes up and
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: goes that giving you a little more elevation. He goes, yeah,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but pretty wobbily. He said, well, let's
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: give it a try, and so he stood up on
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: it and TELL lifted him up a little bit, but
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: not a lot. That might be enough. And I said,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: just keep your knee bent, and when I say go,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: just push yourself and even if it falls over, it
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: might give you enough momentum to get up. Because okay,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: So then one, two, three go, I went left block
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: of wood fell over, and we got no further than
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: we did the other way. I said, okay, let me
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: go get that other block of wood. I said, let's
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: we can make at least a half a block half around, yeah,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: or a half around, And so I I went and
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: got the other one, handed it to him. He went
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: back in the hole, um squished around in there. Now
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: that didn't bother me at all. So we had you
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: guys introduced yourselves to each other, yet, like were you
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: on a first name basis? Well, we did, he I
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: asked him what his name was, and I was so
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: freaked out. I didn't really pay attention to what his
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: name was. But but we'll say his name was Steve
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Chris And are you getting in there and helping him?
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Was kind of hanging around? No, I was just kind
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: of hanging out because there's nothing I could have done. Um.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: But one thing I do have to say about Joe
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: is that he always he was so calm with him.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: He never like freaked out, never, and he would talk
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: to him just trying to keep him calm right because
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: he's been in there for three hours already, And so
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: I was really impressed with that, is because he just
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: kept him calm, going, you know, but we're going to
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: do this, We're going to get you out, you know,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: just hang tight kind of thing. So you picked the
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: right guy all those thirty two years ago, I did. Yes, Yes,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: for sure, Yes, the guy getting tan could you could
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: you sense there was like a little bit of like anxiety. Yeah,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: he was, you know, um you know, and and obviously
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: the thing is just heating up and when you take
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: that's just now it's just a hole. The it's hot,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: the gases are much worse. I mean it's just because
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: it starts to the gate that it starts to the
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: gate that vent pipe. That vent pipe is not getting
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: it's not drawn a draft. Yeah, and it's it was,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: and it was bad. So so I put the other
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: block of wood down and basically got the same result.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: It just wasn't gonna work. So this is where I went, Okay, well,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: in my truck, I've got rope and I've got a
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: toe strap. So I was kind of looking and I thought, well,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: you know, they've got the the bar in there for um,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: you know, then the handicap bar. I thought that's not
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: gonna work, and I don't want to rip that off
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: the wall. And I thought, well, I could pull my
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: truck up, and I thought, ropes out, that's just not
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: gonna work. But the toast drop, you know whatever, four
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: inches wide, and I thought, well, I could hook it
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: to my truck and have him wrap it around maybe
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: pull him out. Went no, that's not gonna work. I
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: thought well, I could drop it down and maybe he
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: could use it to try to climb up. And I
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: thought he's not gonna be able to do that either.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: And this at this points when I thought, well, you know,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: I never actually thought about calling nine one one, but
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I did think about I thought I might have to
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: drive over to there's a couple of ranch houses. I thought,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: maybe drive over there, and they probably have a landline
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: we can call and then we can get you know,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: professional rescue crew there. And so I was sitting here
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: and I was trying to say, how what am I
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: going to do here? And maybe I'll maybe I'll just
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: drive to the ranch house. And I'm still talk into
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: the guy, but I'm thinking about what I want to do.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: And I hear another vehicle drive up, and and so
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: I I thought, oh, it's fantastic. I said, hey, I
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: just heard a vehicle drive up. I'm gonna see if
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: somebody's in there that might be able to give us
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: a hand. He goes okay, and sort of being in
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: a in a bit of a smartass move, I started
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: walking out. You turn around, and I went, don't go anywhere,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: just stay right there. And he thought it was about
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: as funny as he did the first. So so I
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: went out and Kristen had waved him down and stopped him,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: and uh, and so I walked up and and and
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: when you when you stop them, what did you say? Well?
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: I just kind of flagged him down, because sometimes when
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: you go to a place like that, it's like, oh
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: or else, somebody's already there. We're just gonna leave, right,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: So I didn't want him to leave, so I was
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: just flagging him down. Then they pull up and um,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: husband and wife for boy for girlfriend. So he was driving.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: She was on the passenger side, of course, so she
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: rolled down the window. About that time Joe came out.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: So you're you're able to introduce the subject, yes, So
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: so I walked up and she rolled down the window,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: and you know, the guy they were actually coming there.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: They wanted to do a little bit of fishing, and
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: and so I walked up to the window and I
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: kind of leaned up under the passenger window and kind
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: of stuck my head in because just so the guy
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: at the vault toilet wouldn't hear the conversation. And I said,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: I could use I need I need a hand, I
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: need some help. And the guy goes, well, what's going on?
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: I said, And he had a hat on, had has
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: a ponytail coming out the back and and I go, well, uh,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: there's a guy stuck in the vault toilet. I mean
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: like stuck neck deep in the hole, and I had
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: to break in, and the door was locked, and I
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: had to break in and and I found him. He's
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: been in there for three hours and closer to four
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: hours now. And the guy just took his hat off,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: kind of pulled his ponytail out, rubbed his head, put
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: his hat back on, put his ponytail back in his hat.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: He looked out. It was just just cracked me up.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: And looked out, you know, stared off out the windshield
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: for about five seconds. He kind of had this look
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: on his face. Then he just turned and looked at
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: me and goes, well, there's something I didn't expect to
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: hear today. I said, well, that makes two of us.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't expect to find this either. And I said,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I said, I just can't get the guy out. I
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: can't get him out by myself. I said, between the
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: two of us, we might be able to lift lift
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: him out. And he goes, yeah, okay, I'd be happy
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: to give you a hand. So he pulled up and yeah,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: I said, get gloves. He goes, oh, yeah, he got gloves.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: And so we go walking in and I said, hey,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: I gotta I've got an extra body here. I give
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: me a hand. He goes all good good, and the
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: guy walks in. He goes, hey, how you doing. He goes, well,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: like I told the other guy, but fucking better. He goes, well,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: we'll get you out of here. We'll get this all
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: figured out. So the guy goes, hey, hang on a minute,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: I just I'm gonna go out and check something. So
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: the guy walks out. Kristan and his wife or his
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: girlfriend were just kind of standing over by the vehicle,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: and he walks out with his hands on on his
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: hips and he just goes what the fuck it was?
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: And she and I under standing there, I'm like, I know,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: I know. So he just he just had to get
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: that off his chest, and he just kind of looked
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: at him. I was like, yeah right. I mean, so
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: we walked in and we said, well, let's just do
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: the simple thing first, let's give up the old and
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: so we get down there and do the same thing.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: I grab an arm, hand, he grabs the other hand.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: We okay, one to three, and we this time you
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: know where I didn't really budge them before. We maybe
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: lifted him, you know, half an inch. It just it
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: just wasn't gonna work. And so I told the guy said,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: you know what we need is just something he can
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: stand on that we can put down there. I said,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: we put a couple of blocks of wood down there
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: that they just weren't steady enough, maybe not talking. He goes,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: I said, do you have anything in your truck? I said,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: I don't have anything, and he goes, well, he goes,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: maybe let me let me go look. And so at
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: some point in time when this was going on, he
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: told his wife, you've got to get a picture or
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: his girlfriend whatever it was, And that's where that picture
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: came from. So she just kind of watched. They reported
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: it to the they sent it into the well. I
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: don't know how it got on Facebook. I have no idea. Well,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: and I'll get to that. The first time I saw
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: that picture kind of here at the end of this
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: kind of this story, because I didn't know she took pictures.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't know any pictures existed. Let's slot. So the guy,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: we walk over his truck and he's kind of looking
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: and he's pulling things up. Finally he goes pulls out
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: a lawn chair. It's one of those lawn chairs that
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: you know, you can fold up, slip into a bag,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: and uh so he pulls that out. He goes, well,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: I'll dedicate this to the cause, you know, and I'm
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: kind of bummed out because we introduced ourselves to each other.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: They were great people apparent I think apparently they're from Ennis,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: and you know, just they were really really nice folks
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: and good sense of humor. You know, we had pretty
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: some good chuckles while we're doing this because it's just
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: so unbelievable. And and so he grabbed the lawn chair
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: and he also grabbed a towel um because he thought,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: you know, if we get him out, you know, I'll
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: put it on the edge of the hole because it's
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: just a cement floor. You know, he's sweaty, sticky. He
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: had a really good idea, get him on the towel
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: and then we can kind of slide him, slide him out.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: And so so he laid the towel down. It's like
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: a mill, right job. Yeah, yeah, engineering involved in this thing.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: The guy has lawn chair and he's going, I don't
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: know how he's going to get this down that hole. Yeah.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: I just kind of went, oh, I'm sure he'll figure
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: out way. And so he's because he's he's filling the
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: whole hole, and I said, well, he'll get it down there.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: So the guy goes, okay, we're gonna use this lawn chair.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: It should be steadier if you can get it opened
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: up and all four ft. He goes, if you can
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: get it down there, and guy goes, yeah, I can
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: get it down here. So he hands the guy the
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: lawn chair and he's having the same thought I am
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: at this point the guy that had gave him a
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: lawn chair, Um, and how is he gonna get in there?
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: And so he gives him the lawnchair. The guy drops
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: into the hole, and the guy's going holy, he just
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: went fell into I just looked at me, said, oh
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: it's okay, it's all good. I've seen that before. He'll
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: pop back up and he's like, oh my god. You
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: can hear the guy down and there slashing around, and
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: you know you hear the lawn chair open up and
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: you can hear it hit the ground. He's kind of
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: squeezing and that down into the bottom to get it steady.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: And and the guy pops up and we go, you
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: got that lawn chair steady? And goes, yeah, it's pretty steady,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: and he said okay, Um, we're gonna say one to
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: three and on go push yourself up, you know. And
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: and I didn't know if the lawn chair would really
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: hold with the you know, hold him and stuff. And
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: he's standing up on yeah, at this point he standing
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: and we looked and we went, this gives us, this
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: gives us some some height that a lot better, you know.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: It lifted him up, you know whatever, probably you know,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: so we got more leverage. So he's sitting were on
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: his on his torso as the edge of the hole.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: After with the lawn chair, uh can so before he
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: was only able to go armpit, you know, just resting
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: his arms. Now he lifted up about the bottom of
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: the sternum. So I mean he went from from basically
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: here there so his neck neck up to um. Yeah,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: and and he had he had something he could push
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: on to help lift himself a fun So we told
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: the guy, we said, okay, we need you to push up,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: but you need to do something for us because otherwise
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: we're not going to get you out of this hole.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: And he goes, well, what's that. We said, as soon
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: as we start lifting, you gotta suck in your your gut.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: You gotta suck that gut in so we can get
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: you up over the hole. He said, but as soon
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: as that your gut starts coming out, you need to
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: thrust your ass otherwise it's gonna get stuck on that whole.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: So it's suck and thrust and he's okay, okay, yeah,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: its life lesson. So so anyway, so one, two three go,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: we grab him, you know, and he forgot to suck
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: it first, and so we put him back down and said, okay,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: remember to sucking. You're gotting all right, one two three,
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: go and pull him. We said, suck sucking, you gotta suck,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: suck it in, and we got him lifted up and
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: then we had, you know, but got stuck on the
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: other side of the hole, and it said thrust, so
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: he thrust. So then he thrust it and up he came,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: and we got him on the towel and kind of
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: slid him across, and we're just like, you know, so
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: now we have this naked guy laying on the towel,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: and we just went, okay, you're out. We're gonna go out.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Just take the towel, wrap it around you and walk
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: to the river and go clean yourself. And so we
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: just went out and we just went, Holy crap. I
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: cannot believe that we just had to do this, But
• 53:38

• 53:41
  Speaker 1: He kind of laid there for a minute just to

• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: also wanted to make sure you had it on records
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: what happened, because you know, I said, certainly in my career,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: you know, you see various frivolous lawsuits somebody tries to
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: soothe the state for something. I said, I just wanted
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: to know if that happened, you know where you need
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: to come. She goes, okay, great, well I gotta text
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: the next day from her and she goes, does this
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: look familiar and it was that picture and I went
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: in Vice. No, no, this is before anything happened. This
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: is two days after the whole extraction. And I looked
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: at it. I went, where did you get that? And
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: she said, well, the maintenance guys. Why so I can
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: only imagine she called the maintenance people and they were like, wow,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: oh my god, what And he probably told his wife
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: somehow she found it on Facebook and found this picture
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: and you know, and send it the picture that was snapped. Yeah,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: the picture that you see on Vice. And I looked
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: at I said, where did you get that? And she said, well,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: the maintenance guy's wife found it on Facebook. I was like,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: and I asked it, do you have any idea who
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: posted that? And um, she didn't. But that was the
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: first time I saw the picture, and quite us, I
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: showed Kristen. We had a chuckle. I sent it to
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: my my boys and said, oh, yeah, here's here's a picture.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: And that's where I thought it was pretty much gonna end.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: And then um, I Kristen, I'm not on Facebook on
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: my Instagram, but she started seeing all these Facebook posts
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: and then people she knows started reposting it and you know,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: re sharing it, and pretty soon you're like solely that
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: guy that landed that plan, and I'm just like I
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: started reading things. I'm like, oh jeez, that's you know,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: it's just things are sort of getting out of you know,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: because the people are making assumptions of this and that.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: So uh, I just sort of went, well, it is
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: what it is, and we'll just not worry about. And
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: then somebody sent me that I think it was the
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Cowboy Daily or whatever, it was Cowboy State Daily. And
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: then Karn sent me the Vice article and I was like, oh, yeah,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: well no, I told her. I said, it's yeah, it's
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: on something called Vice. It's you know, I assume it's
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: some little sort of online rag. She goes, well, no, actually,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: there it's a big it's a big online news organization.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: She and then what clarified it for me was she does,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: like HBO Max or you know some of the streaming
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: smart TVs, you'll see an app called Vice, and yeah,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: I've never paid attention to it. Just well, that's that's it.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: I went, oh, okay. So then I went in and
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: read the article. I'm like, well, they did some they
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: did some work. They didn't did someone else's They actually
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: tracked down finally got to f w P and you
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: know that's where they found out when somebody you know,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: but the hand found you. Well they did because I
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: called them. They just didn't share my name, which which
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: you know, I guess I appreciate it. But long story short,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: I just you know, we're coming back from a long
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: road trip. And Chris was like, oh my god, that
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: somebody's a son of somebody of a friend of hers
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: reposted it, and so she had to text him and say,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: you know that's Joe in the picture. He's like, what
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: the hell and she's yeah, A long story, blah blah
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: blah blah. And I was just sort of trying to
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: let this go. And and then it was about maybe
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: a week or two later that my son sent me
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: a text and link to the podcast said, hey, Steve
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: and Rella just talked about the ship house extraction on
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: his podcast. I went, what And then then now here
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: we are, man, then because of my buddy Bruce getting
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: ahold of her in and yeah, and now you know
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: the whole story. And I don't know, I mean, I
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: just kind of blabbed about the story. But if you
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: have questions or and you asked some but I just
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: was trying to let this thing just sort of fade
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: away into the sunset. Yeah, but it's it's just it's
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: such an interesting um scenario and there's some and uh
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate your efforts on his behalf. Yeah, well
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: I sure he probably appreciates it more and you um.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: And I also appreciate that you're you don't you're not
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: going out of your way to uh to reveal his identity.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: And I respect his desire for a nononymity. Um. But
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: are you guys in touch? No? No, no, no. Two
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: ships in the night. It was a one night stand.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: We went we went camping just this last week and
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: Joe and Christian Dorothy and I and another couple. We
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: were over in Lincoln and let's get around. Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: we just went over the camp and there's a vault
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: toilet there. There's a little campground and so I I
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: go walking into the vault toilet and I thought, hey, Joe,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: come here and show me how this how this thing works.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, because I didn't know you could take the
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: pedestal off. Yeah, the sick and so he goes, he goes, well,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: this is a four service one. He says, I'm not
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: sure it's the same thing he says, but he walks in.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: Joe walks in and just kind of bear hugs and
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: pedestal puffs right off, so you don't even need to no,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: it just it just slides off. And I looked at that,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: and he said, Dorothy, go get my camp chair. I said,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: I looked at that, and I and so two pieces
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: of Joe looks Joe, Joe standing there, I'm standing there,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: a little standing there, and we both look kind of
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: down this cement oval hole, which, like Joe said, about
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: two ft by three ft give or taken, and we
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: both just kind of glanced in there. It's like peering
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: into a volcano. And we both just kind of stood
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: back and went, oh God. Then then the whole campfire
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: conversation at night was what would it take for you
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: to go down into a vault toilet? Yeah, that's my question?
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Can I do it for your fan? And I'm thinking
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: to myself, Okay, so a smartphone is a high end
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: a thousand dollars. If somebody said I'll give you a
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars to crawled down in there, I'd be like, Nope.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: But I think that there's there's issues of um, it's
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: really inconvenient to lose your phone. I dropped mind this winter,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: not down a vault toilet, but I dropped mind down
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: an ice fish and hole. And you know it's like,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: you're not the thing occurs you isn't well there goes
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: a thousand bucks. What occurs to you as like oh yeah,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: like all the things that has lost the inconvenience, they
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: can't transfer it now. I can't call my wife now,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: do you. I mean like it's it's not it's not money.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: It's just like, oh really, so I feel that I would. Honestly,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: there's plenty of people that and I've had I raised
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: three kids. You get to where your relationship to excrement
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: having babies just changes a lot. Manly. It's not you know,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: general general public. Yeah, no, it's it's very different. Don't
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: mean I don't mean to draw like a total parallel
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: between what's in that hole and raising kids, just saying,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: you know, just that that everything kind of changes over time.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: And if I had dropped rather than going down ice
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: fishing hole, um, if I had dropped it in the
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: vault to that, I don't know that I I would get
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: in there and when pressed. I'm pretty crafty about stuff
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: like that. I feel like I would have fashioned up. Um.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: I would have gotten some para cord and a couple
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: of willow limbs and fashioned up with tongue or make
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: like a little fishnet thing, big salad tongue fishing net.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I wouldn't have been like that,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: goes my phone. Yeah, yeah, I mean I would have
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: been in there figuring it out. I'd have had Yanni
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: hang ankles down in there. I think I would have
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: been hanging. I was like, I can't, you're slipping. Yeah,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. Yeah, so you know, I did you know
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: I could do that with her, you know, because she's tiny.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: Drop down in there. You guys could have a little service. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: contract ourselves out to you know, different government agencies stop
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: for specialty cocktails. We could use that for a retirement.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: Many start started saving up money for the thirty third anniversary.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: That's that's right, well on behalf of Americans on behalf
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: of Montana's thanks for fishing that guy out of the toilet. Yeah,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: you're welcome. And I hope the guy never does that.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: I can and I'm pretty sure he won't. But if
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: he does, I can't guarantee I'll be there, but to
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: step up with no derision, no condescension, and step up
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: and help man out of the toilet. That's American elbow grease. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: thanks for coming to tell the story. That's good, Gunny.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: Final thoughts on that one, Ni, No, I bet he's
• 1:10:48

• 1:11:22

• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: of marriage vice best each couple, I would say for
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: Dorothy and I what works the best is, uh, we
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: allow each other to do the things that interest each other,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: so we allow each other to be individuals. I mean,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: you participate in or you let them give them room
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: to go do what they want to do, exactly both,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Okay, Dorothy hit it was
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: he does a lot of fishing and a lot of
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: hunting that doesn't include me. And I have some of
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: the things I like to do that I don't include him.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: But we also do a lot of things together as well.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: So what's your what's your number one marriage advice? Allowing
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: each other space? Oh you guys have you guys kind
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: of have the same philosophy. Absolutely, Yeah, Okay, Joe, well
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: he took my thunder. Yeah. Really, it's just like a
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: really important component of a long marriage. Well, yeah, I
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: think it's important to have time away, um, you know,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: and go do the things you're interested in. And you know,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: I can I do what we call guy trips, you know, hunting, fishing,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: you know whatever, and she does girl trips. You know,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: it takes off and goes somewhere and might be a weekend,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: might be a week or whatever however long. But I
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: you know, the old absence makes the heart grow fonder yonder.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: So it's you know, I as soon as you said that,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: I went, yeah, it's this and uh, I just think
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: it's really really important, you know, to do that. Christ
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: and hits with your marriage. Boys, Yeah, I would say, yeah,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: so my girls trips that I do are very important
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: to me, and so are his guide trips. And then
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: we do stuff together just the two of us, and
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: then we have a group you know of couples that
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: we do things with that is also really fun. And
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: then our kids. So I I was brought up like that.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: My parents worked there. They were married sixty some years,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: so they kind of did the same thing. So I
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: had that to go off of. So hopefully we have
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: to emboy, So hopefully they you know, I think they
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: see how we interact and everything, and I think it
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: just flows down, right, It just everything flows down to
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: your kids and how they watch and everything like that.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: So enjoy your time together. Yeah, go find time to
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: do your own thing, pursue your own interests, which I'm
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: sure you guys will do, right, Yeah, a little bit,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of thinking I'm kind of thinking that. Yeah, yes,
