- 2:01called. We're friends of the podcast. Yeah, these are there, not
- 2:05rolling him sponsors, they're not paying us to get by And this is not
- 2:07survival on sponsorships. It's more of a friend thing where we like these products
- 2:13already and half of it has these things. So we're just like helping them
- 2:17out if they can help us out. And it sounds great. So you
- 2:21guys are gonna get turtleboxes essentially, Yeah, that'd be Uh what color do
- 2:24you want? Yeah, I heard you want to you're getting all particular on
- 2:28colors. Well yeah, I mean, if if we're being picky, it's
- 2:31got to be either white because you know my boat's white and C phone.
- 2:36But if if given the options you think they'll make Yeah, we got frigger
- 2:39Rum on the table. If if we think they make me a custom C
- 2:43phone one. I haven't seen a C phone either. I don't think it's
- 2:46gonna happen. I think I could get them to do it. Oh,
- 2:46you just let them know. I'll take anything I can get I'm gonna be
- 2:51nice like that too, and just actually I've already got one. Well,
- 2:53yeah, the thing is like we've all used them, and I you know,
- 2:55I don't have one of my own, but I've been All my buddies
- 2:58have them. We all fish with them. And you can guarantee that we
- 3:00will never be friends with anybody on this podcast since we're not calm sponsors that
- 3:05we don't actually use, because yeah, that's the whole idea. That's very
- 3:07true. And we're also doing that with Beheo sunglasses. The cool thing about
- 3:12this turtle boxes. The other day, Memorial Day went out, Me and
- 3:15Germs went and did the beach thing out on Sandy Point, and we you
- 3:19know, we got little kids, so we went out there early. I
- 3:20didn't have to deal with the boat ramp crap, and then I got off
- 3:23the water early so I didn't have to deal with the drunks after. So
- 3:24it's perfect. Um, But you can link two of these things together so
- 3:29you get like stereo sound. They'll talk to each other, only two of
- 3:30them, but they so we set two of them up on the beach behind
- 3:34us, and we had stereo sound for our music. Like that's amazing.
- 3:38Yeah, it's yeah, it's cool there. Now they do have to be
- 3:40of the same like model model yeah yeah, but they like like stream like
- 3:46if you wanted to, like watch a football game on your phone is streamed.
- 3:50Yea sound anything that's Bluetooth capable can rect like if you're watching someone YouTube,
- 3:54it can go to the sound. We'll go through that things. And
- 3:58you can also plug in a microphone if you like doing karaoke. No,
- 4:00yeah, like a little eighth of an inch input, not like the big
- 4:04Yeah, do we have time today, Doug, if you're gonna do karaoke
- 4:09after this turtle box karaoke, Yeah, you need to get this thing elevated
- 4:15though, like you're saying, yeah, we're gonna get the music for this
- 4:17is the first time, not blessing still keep the traditional background music. Well,
- 4:23Paul, here in your studio, we have no shortage of random boxing.
- 4:29I'm certain we can just stack it was this find one of the leaning
- 4:31piles and just like it's like a big puzzle with it's just you know,
- 4:38it's crazy. I mean, there's a printer over there. I'm pretty sure
- 4:40it's not done anything since nineteen ninety eight. I actually need to uplug that
- 4:45one. I got this one now, so that one. Next thing,
- 4:47and that's the ridiculous thing is like half the stuff stacked in here is like
- 4:51fine art that like people would love and pay a lot of money to have
- 4:55hanging their house. And Paul has got it. Like literally a scene in
- 4:58Caddyshack where she he walks in, She's like, here's a sixty three thousand
- 5:01dollars check. He's like keep it that like that nap over there, that
- 5:08might as well be in the trash that paint. Yeah, but the painting
- 5:11is screwed up. I don't like the art on it. That might that's
- 5:13a trash piece. Jesus help us all trash. Yeah. I love this
- 5:17place though. It makes me feel good and said, yeah it really does.
- 5:20All right, Well, so you know, the whole idea when we
- 5:24started this thing was we're dropping the tailgate down. We just got through fishing.
- 5:28We're gonna drip beer and hang out. That's what the whole idea of
- 5:30the Turtle Boxes. Yeah. So so so now Turtle Boxes sponsoring the music
- 5:34that that one guy on our comment field really hates. I'm really sorry.
- 5:40Yeah. So now it's more of an ambient sound ambionest. So before we
- 5:45kind of dive into the bullshit segment, which we normally call that, this
- 5:48call this that, we've had a couple of beers down at the whale um.
- 5:53They're friends of the podcast too, I guess. Wonderful group of guys.
- 5:57So yeah, I don't know if we've got any word from them directly
- 6:01yet, but hey, mister light, they've been here for like every every
- 6:05single one. It's coming. They're very prevalent. Um. We're gonna get
- 6:10ahold of Nicki mill Later from Millhouse Podcasts and talk to him just about how
- 6:15the podcast started, where they got the idea, what they're doing, how
- 6:18they're doing it, and anything else that comes in between. So get your
- 6:21questions ready. He goes, Am, I really gonna be on like the
- 6:26whole show, Like if you want to be, I mean, we can
- 6:30work it out, but I think you're gonna just be safe with the twenty
- 6:32minutes we'll be on the phone with you. Yeah. The only other sponsor
- 6:35I think we need to think about his BUCkies. Okay, Okay, we
- 6:40can please freaks me out, man. It's also but I always find myself
- 6:46in there. My thing is like I'm not gonna like I have my drive
- 6:49south all dialed into or like I stopped in the same spots pretty much south
- 6:55of Saint Augustine. Yeah, and it's like I've got it like Palm Beach
- 6:59or Palm Yeah, Palm that sounds like a song, Palm City or whatever
- 7:02pass off. Yeah. So like I've got like all my stops. I'm
- 7:08not altering my plan for BUCkies, Like I'm just not and I'm not gonna.
- 7:12I don't care about BUCkies like I care about getting wherever the hell I'm
- 7:15going and not being in Florida on the highway any longer than I have to
- 7:16be. So yeah, I just I'm never gonna see BUCkies. Unlet's they
- 7:19put one at one of my predsance stopping the middle of Florida. So when
- 7:27I went. So I went to the Keys twice in the last three weeks.
- 7:30In the first one, well, the first one was when I left
- 7:32at seven and fifteen at night. Yes, it had to be down there,
- 7:35you know by the morning. So I got let's see, I got
- 7:39six audio little just diaries that I recorded on the way down there. Are
- 7:43you high on red bull? I was high on adderall yes. Um.
- 7:49The first couple. I'm not. I didn't. I didn't take it until
- 7:53I needed it. I've never taken that stuff and someone gave it to me.
- 7:57Like, trust me, I don't know. You're driving to the night.
- 8:00It's gonna be the best time to test out how I know. Let's
- 8:03just say, fine motor skills. That's all I'm gonna work. Boy,
- 8:07it was were you John? You want to hear one of these? Ye?
- 8:09Like, it's probably a minute and a half. It starts, it's
- 8:11one twenty four. You want to hear the first one? We'll just stagger
- 8:16him for the whole show. I'm good. Yeahs bleed him in. Okay
- 8:20everyone ninety eight? Am Bard was looking at about it. Am driving the
- 8:33ground as they should be. The Lord, I'll be, you know,
- 8:43making the middle note, driving to be recording. Uh maybe we guys can
- 8:52get the stop in front of it. I don't know. Might be by
- 8:56the time the four in the mornings around, it'll be really terrible. But
- 9:05a couple of things. What's down? Stars? Game? I was looking
- 9:09for best twon a half hours of entertainment, but not even half way in
- 9:13the game, Stars, that was down. I've already done with that.
- 9:24I will say, I got the Cheetos the aliena chutter choses be the best
- 9:30chip ever made ever. Yeah, they are damn good. Adderalls don't even
- 9:37at all. Yeah, yeah, I'm three hours away from Adderall. If
- 9:41we can tell when you get out of it, yeah, that'd be funny.
- 9:45No, I don't know it's funny. It's like Adderall like it's an
- 9:50infan But like for people who really have ADHD, it calms them down.
- 9:54It doesn't tweak them out. But like, yeah, folks whose brains are
- 9:56not wired wrong, it's it's it's all meth. It's literally just so I
- 10:03start to get in the twitchies. You know when you're driving, you start
- 10:05just kind of just starting having this weird like feeling in your mind, like
- 10:11that's not really tired. This it's almost like this weird like uncomfortable of like
- 10:16your brain is just like knocking on the door, like dude, let's go
- 10:18to bed man, what are we doing? It's humming. So it's about
- 10:22eleven forty five. I took a hafsky of that thing, and from twelve
- 10:26fifteen to five forty five when I pulled them there, I do not remember
- 10:30anything. It was like a time war. Now I remember, I remember
- 10:35driving and being focused and safe. Yeah, and like pinned to the wheel,
- 10:39pinned to the I remember like seeing that hard rock hotel when you're coming
- 10:41into my end. Oh yeah, guitar like that. It's a big guitar.
- 10:48It's like four in the morning. I always feel cheated though, that
- 10:50they didn't just go ahead and finish the neck and yeah, and it's like,
- 10:52I mean, I know, huge, strange. You ever got to
- 10:58like tune them? Do you want to help tune it? Hey? Man,
- 11:01this looks unfinished, like table guy. I know it is, but
- 11:05it looks unfinished the way they ended it at the top of it. Just
- 11:07I don't know, No, I agree, Like, I mean, you
- 11:09put all this effort in design in the world's largest guitar or whatever, and
- 11:13then you just stop like that make that. It's kind of like a bad
- 11:16movie where it starts out great and then they just go, you know what,
- 11:18I quit. Yeah, I don't even know what to do it.
- 11:22Actually, Carl, my brother in law, knows these big log and tall
- 11:26things ain't gonna show up anymore. He's done. Let me wrap this up.
- 11:30Yeah it is, But you know what, It's funny. It's like
- 11:31you always think, like when I see that thing, because you're cutting over
- 11:33to the turnpike usually right there, you're on the wrong you're gonna turn back,
- 11:37but you're getting over to Would you do you go sent five? I
- 11:41want so when did the adderall hit? So five hours in halfway you're just
- 11:50right around West Palm Beach probably that's telling them to be about and about hours
- 11:58it hit around daytime? Well, then about it. I don't want to
- 12:00have to day to you that little Daytona was built on that or all.
- 12:03He was like, I wonder about whicheveryone. Well you know you do that
- 12:07little change where you get off the thing and do that back highway. Yeah,
- 12:09yeah, well that's the turnpike. Yeah, that's about when I started
- 12:13really flying high fancy free. Right. That's that's Fort Pierce usually or somewhere
- 12:18around there. So we're just chugging water. I had gate a lot of
- 12:22Gator reads. I had a good snack mix sunflower seeds. May you know
- 12:26my problem like, and I don't like have a prosa just or anything like
- 12:31my problems. I drink too much fluids when I'm in the car and I
- 12:33can't make it between gat stops and I got a pee and it's not like
- 12:37I gotta like, you know, old process people got a little squirre to
- 12:39pee and no, man, it's like a gallon of But like I'm in
- 12:43pain by the time I stopped to being I'm like, why did I drink
- 12:46two liters of water? Thinking that was a normal amount of water to drink.
- 12:48I remember in the car, I remember reading tips on driving a long
- 12:52way, and you know, none of them said started seven p m.
- 12:58They all said get at least eight and nine hours of sleep and go early
- 13:01in the morning. Oh yeah, in the heat of the day. And
- 13:03they all said stay very hydrated. Took a lot of water. So it
- 13:07took a lot of water, and that I feel like that helped me.
- 13:09I didn't have to peel all the time. Bye, it goes through me.
- 13:13But I don't drink a lot of water all the time. So yeah,
- 13:15I've always wondered what NASCAR drivers did. Yeah, what did they do?
- 13:18Probably condom catheter? Oh like yeah, really they just they just let
- 13:22it go. Well, no, you put a condom calf on condom calf
- 13:28So like at the hospital, if we don't want to put a real catheter
- 13:31in you, because those are infection risks. It's a condom, except instead
- 13:35of being sealed at the end, it's got a little like thing and you
- 13:37put a two hook a tube to it and you just piss and it goes
- 13:39down a two bandol bag and you could have a bag on your leg and
- 13:43just piss in it. And I mean, it doesn't leak. I've thought
- 13:48about it for the drives, Like, if I really had to power there
- 13:50like what you did, I'd probably borrowed a leg bag on a condom calf
- 13:54from working, because right before a row started this fall said, you know
- 13:58what, let's just talk about now I'm explaining condom cast y'all. It's yeah,
- 14:03it's it's literally it looks just like condom, except it's sticky instead of
- 14:07slimy because it has to stay on. So that's kind of nice. So
- 14:11you roll it up, you roll it down on the sticky he's on the
- 14:13shaft, roll down the shaft and it stays on there. You hook it
- 14:16to the tube, just be away. Man actually doesn't sound bad. It's
- 14:20not. I mean really, I mean, you're not gonna leak anywhere they
- 14:22work? Fine if it dead Man was that astro. Later on the pilot
- 14:31at two am. Yeah, it's just so look at this picture. George
- 14:35Martin, Sir officer. I haven't been drinking, just kissed myself. That's
- 14:43a toad of a permit. Easier. That is a big permit. Wow,
- 14:50got a snorkel. I guess I want to say they handed. Yeah,
- 14:54he probably did. That. Man's an animal. He's probably getting some
- 14:58underwater mental pictures for I wish he could see this. Yeah, that's I
- 15:05mean, it's everything's hard to tell for him, but it's a large,
- 15:07large permit. All right, Well that's a buzz. What's that? Why
- 15:15don't you tell people what she's doing down there? And um so yeah,
- 15:18so that's that a nothing we can do about it, okay. Nice.
- 15:22I remember in the other recording when you heard it, like right when they
- 15:26started playing to the Keys about seven am, five five, and I went
- 15:33pulled up at Jared Jared's house to do the Silver Kings show. Nice and
- 15:39so understandably he was very worried about me showing up like it's six am to
- 15:45go fishing at six am after driving all night, Yeah, and having to
- 15:48be on camera like yeah, personality and nothing makes a great you know recording
- 15:52TV show than a guy that's been driving for eleven hours with no sleep.
- 15:58I'm sure he was like, Man, that's gonna be great. It's gonna
- 16:00be great for this is it's gonna be movie matches. That's what the adderalls
- 16:03for. Well, I kind of failed to tell him and that until I
- 16:07got there. He goes, well, we decided to push it back to
- 16:08eleven. That way we can do a sunset recording, which they hadn't done
- 16:11that before. So he was like kind of pumped about. It all worked
- 16:15out. Yeah, and there's some things in details I don't want to say
- 16:18until the show comes out. I don't you know, just how to respect
- 16:21those guys. But the point it was, it was a lot of fun.
- 16:25We started fishing on eleven. He wanted me to take a nap and
- 16:27I did not. I wouldn't was not able to take a nap atall.
- 16:34Wait, wait, did you tell everybody in the future how they can see
- 16:37this show? Yeah, so it'll come out in January on NBC Sports on
- 16:44Saturday morning is like an eight or nine in the morning, but calendars come
- 16:47on nap calendar. So we we did the eleven o'clock start and we went
- 16:52back to flamingo, saw some fish, did our stuff there, and then
- 16:56with the idea of being out of the water to like around sunset, and
- 17:00at that time there was a possible worm hatch that was going to maybe go
- 17:04on nice and I can't, you know, disclose whether that happened or not.
- 17:10You'll have to wait and see. But yeah, it was awesome.
- 17:11It was neat Just the weight of the weight of fishing with your buddies is
- 17:15already kind of like I'm not gonna say pressure, but everyone spent their time
- 17:21and money to get here. If I'm on the ballot, even with one
- 17:22of you guys, it's like and there's fish happening, it's like, man,
- 17:26you want to catch a fish, but you throw that that a guide
- 17:30who's never you've never fished with, you've met a couple of times, that's
- 17:33very well known not sleeping for not sleeping. That hadn't even started to affect
- 17:37me yet. And then you got the camera boat. Yeah, you got
- 17:41the camera boat. And that the weight of that camera that is like,
- 17:45you know, forty feet behind you, it feels like it's on your back,
- 17:48you know, like just it was a fun experience. Though everything worked
- 17:52out right. We got a good episode. I think, Um, obviously
- 17:57we'll find out when it comes out. But it was a fun experience.
- 18:00And the next day you do interviews like the day where you sit down and
- 18:03kind of the cameras, you know, all that stuff. And then I
- 18:07overlapped with Flounder, a buddy mine from Texas, which I know, you
- 18:11know, I don't know if you've ever met. I don't him. He's
- 18:12on rascobs Instagram a lot, so he's familiar with his face when I saw
- 18:18your pictures. He's like a Will Avid, you know, just always coming
- 18:21up with something funny and a good fisherman. Yeah, good fisherman. He
- 18:25won the Hermanucer and Tarpet Cup, and I think he's trying to get in
- 18:30some more events down there, um doing all that stuff. Um. So
- 18:34then I and then for those for filming day. In the night of the
- 18:37filming, my stomach just started. I wonder why the stuff, and it
- 18:45felt like I was kind of sick to my stomach and a nauseating feeling.
- 18:48I drank tons of water still and it just would not go away. On
- 18:52top of I've been up for like thirty six hours or whatever. Yeah,
- 18:56for sure. And so by the time I drove back on Saturday, I
- 19:03was finally starting to feel kind of normal, So you throw like the Wednesday,
- 19:07Thursday, Friday feeling weird, and then Saturday felt normal and I had
- 19:10to drive back, came back for a week, did the paintings for the
- 19:12Donal Holly Tournament or finished them up, mailed them, and then drove back
- 19:17again because I had planned on doing this. Yeah, I did it all
- 19:21over again without chemicals and actually woke up in a normal time and did the
- 19:26drive. Yeah. So, and the fishing was tough. I fish.
- 19:30I mainly went there for the tournament and to be there around the people and
- 19:33kind of be part of the the event and just be there. So fishing
- 19:37was definitely a thing. It was a bonus. Yeah. Fish with Kenny
- 19:42Atkinson around Big Pine on Thursday. Weather was tough. We just kind of
- 19:48hop scots looking for light. Yeah, got off the water a little early.
- 19:52I casted a too tarp and that was tough. And that was one
- 19:55of the days in the tournament that didn't catch shit. Just one of those
- 19:57days. And then to have fish at the Rummels and we went out in
- 20:03Oceanside. They were really helping me get some photography, some reference material with
- 20:11the drone, and it turned into fishing. We really weren't gonna fishing because
- 20:15the weather kind of sucked at the beginning, but all of a sudden,
- 20:18the sky opened up and you're there, Look we can see fish. Now
- 20:22about the keys man, Yeah, we got three hours of fishing. I
- 20:26don't like the weather. Just wait five minutes. Yeah, back at the
- 20:27dog by three. I had to go get ready and check into a new
- 20:30hotel and then go to the event. And it all worked out perfectly in
- 20:33Deaney, Greg Deaney and Evan Cruthers ended up winning the Holly. They won
- 20:37the Golden Fly, then the Holly, and they're they're on the They're on
- 20:41the trapping block for the whole triple Crown. Total rats boys. So it
- 20:45was really cool to see them win. And uh, I had a good
- 20:48three weeks. It was pretty hectic and fun, but brought to you by
- 20:52it out at all. Yeah, I don't. I can't for that stuff,
- 20:57man, I just got all fashion can either, I found out.
- 21:02Yeah, So in hindsight, what's what's better? Is it sleeping and getting
- 21:07up early and going or is it going in the middle of the night and
- 21:10just ripping some method. I have an opinion on this, and I've dialed
- 21:15it in over the years. What it sounds fun When I was uh what
- 21:19when I was younger. All we are, all we ever did was exactly
- 21:22what Paul did, minus the Adderall I never did that. We always would
- 21:27leave at like six or seven pm, and so we could be there at
- 21:30o dark thirty five launched. The boat goes straight in fishing, and we
- 21:33wouldn't when Yeah, but even then, you know you don't sleep well in
- 21:38a car. But so we did that. That was what we used to
- 21:41be. Like. As I got older, my moving out is I wake
- 21:44up at midnight. I'll lay down like I'll lay down at seven mate early.
- 21:47I'll get three four hours of sleep called a good nap. Then I
- 21:49get up at midnight and I'm out and on the road by one. You're
- 21:53clear of Jacksonville before any morning traffic picks up or anything like that. And
- 21:57there's really nothing much below JACKSONVILLTI you hit South Florida. I don't give a
- 22:00fuck A few at South Florida at three in the morning, that's it's a
- 22:03ship show. Yeah, that doesn't matter. So I never try to plan
- 22:06South Florida. But if I can clear Jacksonville before say six thirty seven am,
- 22:11I'm a happy guy because you can go right through town, you don't
- 22:12have any traffic, and then you know, and then the lower part you're
- 22:17not worried so much about because they did a lot of construction at night.
- 22:19So once you get kind of blow Jacksonville, you're not worried about a whole
- 22:22lot of construction and ship because you's a daytime at that point. This rush
- 22:25out. But and then yeah, and then it's usually i've door to door
- 22:29doing that. I can usually be an alam Road in ten ten and a
- 22:32half hours. Yeah, it's pretty much ten both times. Yeah, I
- 22:37took me fourteen this year. Oh with a boat though, but well no,
- 22:41every year has a boat. But it was only because well we had
- 22:44a flat tire and had to change that. But then they were working on
- 22:48the road. It's two of those hours was sitting on a one in like
- 22:52in alam Roado waiting because they had the road shut down doing road work.
- 22:56I sat in the car for two hours at least. There you're on the
- 22:59pretty bridges with the water and ship, but you're just sitting What gets me
- 23:02at night, though, is when you start when your eyes start paying too
- 23:04much attention to oncoming traffic lights with oh yeah, where are you out and
- 23:10your eyes are constantly yeah. But that this time here is something sun comes
- 23:18up at like six, so like you're only driving in the dark for you
- 23:21know, three or four hours, and it's daylight driving the rest of the
- 23:23time. That's sure it works out. I'm telling you, man, this
- 23:26is my my modified plan formula. Yeah, it's really good. Y'all want
- 23:30to hear another voice memo? Oh of course I do. That's one on
- 23:34all. Remember you want to just skip to a Yeah, give me one.
- 23:38Okay, let's see. Let's see BUCkies. I don't think it was
- 23:42quite there yet, but let's just has been accomplished. Wasn't there? Use
- 23:49the restroom, saw the arts show they have in the hallway, saw the
- 23:55people really smell them. I got a little little chicken burrito or chicken taco,
- 24:04and you know, going to Bucky's at twelve fifteen at night, a
- 24:11lot of things not available, and uh that went to the Sunflowers seat is
- 24:19and I just can't find the old standard David barbecues it more, which is
- 24:23frustrating. I got some deals I got the big skill, which I can
- 24:29handle that. And I'm out about to get half back on the highway for
- 24:33another five hours of driving, probably stopping taking half at some point, and
- 24:37I'll be with you all later with an update. Uh nothing too crazy right
- 24:41now. Um, listening to some talk radio and uh, feeling good about
- 24:47it. Feeling good? Okay, next up to everybody check back here.
- 24:56I lost some skittles. I did have the Barry Skittles, the purple skirts,
- 25:03sugar high. Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome. Um, yeah that
- 25:07sounds too bad. No, man, it was it was. You just
- 25:11want to hear the one. Let's see the last one, Okay, I
- 25:15think this is Let's start that. You were feeling safe and driving, well
- 25:29you can speaking, let's start it over. I have no idea what that
- 25:32was, all right, three thirty in the morning. So, my dad,
- 25:51you always used this turn for the tollway in Dallas, Dallas toy turn
- 25:57tight. So what the hell is the turnpike? Like the pike is the
- 26:07road in the turn? What does the turn means to the pipe? Like?
- 26:12What is the turnpike? And m is that kind of a general name
- 26:21for it? Always? Like why is this whoway a third pike because I
- 26:26feel it's only used now for hallways. And also you canna you cannot escape
- 26:34they dan toll roads in South Florida. It's all the book out. That's
- 26:48like the guy the Florida non turnpike, non toll roads deals like can you
- 26:56go anywhere without the camera? I got hold huge bull. I'm shot.
- 27:08It's crazy that next my next point seven four highway. Yeah, I want
- 27:15to know what the hell turn is? Can't you get anywhere without? So
- 27:26we're gonna come up. We're gonna come out with us again. Yeah,
- 27:32let's talk it all the drop line. When need you get the phone number
- 27:37back? Okay, what the hell is a turnpike? What is it?
- 27:41It's just another word for a toll road. Why is it called the turnpike?
- 27:45You got Google somewhere. I don't know, man, I'm sure it
- 27:47came from that sounded like a scene from cops. I had a mouth.
- 27:55I'm sorry, but can you explain something to me? Boy? I had
- 27:59a mouth full of seeds and it was excessive. I'd usually like I try
- 28:04to avoid, like not that the turn bikes that expensive, but the Florida's
- 28:08a turnbike. I try to avoid it. But usually I'll get on about
- 28:11West Palm, but then when I'm coming home, I don't get off of
- 28:15it until Fort Pierce. I got I follow it because after that at Fort
- 28:18Pierce it turns Inland and goes to Orlando, and you gotta get off that
- 28:21much. So what a turnpike is is a section of highway designed to lead
- 28:26you from one area to another. Okay, isn't that just what every highway
- 28:32doesn't take? But from one area to another? Yeah, I mean it's
- 28:37it's supposed to like rerout you exactly well. And also I think too it
- 28:41is. It's not for thruits, like it's not for street traffic. It's
- 28:45for you today. If you're trying to go past Miami, but you don't
- 28:49want to get off of an exit in Miami, a turnpikes your option.
- 28:53Versus if you needed to get off of whatever down town Miami, you would
- 28:56stay on ninety five. Like, isn't Alligator Alley technically one big turnpike?
- 29:00I don't know. I don't know about that. I know, I mean
- 29:03I never crossed it. I've never I've crossed forty forty one. Once it
- 29:07called or it goes across there, it doesn't matter. Yeah, forty one
- 29:10is in Atlanta, so they have. Okay, so if they have let's
- 29:14say you have one interstate and you have another interstate already constructed and established.
- 29:19If you want to join or merge those two interstates, isn't that a turnpike.
- 29:26I have no idea. Somebody can wrong. Guy would love to drop
- 29:30us, drop us a line on the old Instagram because about a sip of
- 29:34frigate. Hey, I m hm, well, regardless, you took a
- 29:41turnpike. I took a turnpike I got so yeah, I got there at
- 29:45five. I got there at like five forty, and you know, my
- 29:48plan was to take a couple of different naps. I did not need those
- 29:51naps, so I thought i'd be shown up to Jersey like seven. He
- 29:56said, text me when you're thirty minutes away. So I wouldn't get the
- 29:59text him at five fift in the morning. So I got to his place
- 30:00at five forty and I just kind of the idea was to lay in my
- 30:08van. I just laid in my van, just laid there staring at the
- 30:15ZeLing. Yeah, and it like six ten. I texted him and he
- 30:18goes, okay, you're out there. Yeah, I go, yeah,
- 30:21I am, and you know, it's just dark. It's the lights kind
- 30:23of coming up, creating shadows. And he came around his corner and he's
- 30:26just this huge dude. He like, I'm like and I'm kind of out
- 30:30of it, and I'm like, hey, what's up. And he's like,
- 30:33yeah, you made it up? Yeah him fine, man, fine,
- 30:37Yeah, but he's he's like probably six four fucking big dude. He's
- 30:41the Tucker size into me exactly. Yeah. And when this come when they
- 30:45come out of the shadows six in the morning on after driving a yeah,
- 30:49man, yeah, you're like, you know, he's your buddy, but
- 30:52your brain goes into like self defense. Yeah, like I'm gonna kick him
- 30:55in the nuts and how I can throw some flower seed bags at you.
- 31:00But no, he was great, man. He got to hang out with
- 31:02his family and his wife and his kids. His kids are just locked and
- 31:03loaded. Man. They do not run out of batteries. He's got his
- 31:07hands full with those two boys. They love fishing and doing everything down there.
- 31:11Though. We had a little party there Friday night and Owen Gaylor came.
- 31:15He was down in town with his wife, so he had a little
- 31:18social event to kind of round out the week, and uh, yeah it
- 31:22was a blast, man, it was fun. And then what might be
- 31:26fun if we have time later to call Owen and ask him what he thinks
- 31:29the Turnpike is. He probably have a decent answer, probably some old cowboys
- 31:34story. Oh yeah, it'll be Bill. You know about General Bill Turnpike.
- 31:42Yeah, well, General Bill turnpas won the War of eighteen twelve.
- 31:49Was a matter of fact, broke every finger on his right hand. Yeah,
- 31:53damn right, he did that. Well, should we phase out of
- 32:00this and uh, take a little break, do some rainstorm and then call
- 32:02Nikki. Yeah. Yeah, to y'all, it'll be like thirty seconds,
- 32:05but to us it might be a minute. Yeah, to us it will

- 36:00I like the city council. Mean, I've been blessed with the honor because
- 36:04I know the rumbles to sit in on a few city council. Yeah,
- 36:07and it's uh, if you don't know what we're talking about, City council.
- 36:10There's a section of the laurelide deck that you don't sit in unless you're
- 36:15allowed to sit there, and everybody's labeled it. Yeah, that's probably where
- 36:21I've sat, and the chairs, the chairs are the guys that they have
- 36:23their own chairs, and like even like the people all get there, like
- 36:27if that guy's out there, that chair stays empty, like you just don't
- 36:30ye and so yeah, and then they call it city council. I've been
- 36:32blessed with just hovering the periphery and listen to those old dudes and old ladies
- 36:37and everybody that hangs out there. It's awesome. It's just a cool little
- 36:39community that lives. Council or town eating or something. Yeah, I forget
- 36:43what the sign says. Do they call themselves the city council? Yeah?
- 36:45Do they have count printers? Oh yeah, yeah, I'm sure beings.
- 36:51Yeah. I never eat there. I just drink beer. So there are
- 36:53the French fries. It's all good. It's just all like comes in on
- 36:58the Cisco truck. It's really maybe they have nice food. I don't know
- 37:01that I've ever eaten. And it's really cool. So when we were,
- 37:06when we were, yeah, it would be yeah, even launch from there
- 37:08or if there was like a ramp and guides and stuff, that'd be interesting.
- 37:12So the tournaments to launch out of there, not me when we were
- 37:16when we were fishing. Uh, when I was fishing with Robin Chandra,
- 37:20Uh, she goes, she goes, oh my god, that those fish
- 37:24going away. There was like a meat wad situation. I'm like, dude,
- 37:27that would be a band name. And then you got so whinney that
- 37:31you could hear Rob's pants. Those are audible pants. Dude, that's a
- 37:36fucking band name too. So they were we were working around with I think
- 37:39Tucker had some big floppy pants on one day and it was yeah, and
- 37:43we were like, so, oh, week, I don't know what's going
- 37:45on. They had a bunch of helicopters around though, like that were like
- 37:47training or something. There's chinooks like the big double black yeah, we saw,
- 37:51and then there were just some huge I don't know blackhawks and stuff that,
- 37:53but they were all I don't they had different label. They weren't military,
- 37:57but there were something and uh, but they kept flying like down the
- 38:00line, like all day. They'd be flying up and down, just down
- 38:01the tarpet line and uh, like me and Mike saying teller, They're like
- 38:07you'd hear Tucker's pants. Were like like there comes to the helicopters again.
- 38:10And one of us like nah of Tucker's pants, like those things were,
- 38:15Like, I'm still hung on about meat wide. Yeah that's uh I've only
- 38:21ever heard that from the rummos. But yeah, like you get those big
- 38:22like balls of fish. Yeah that's good. I've only seen a couple of
- 38:27meat wide situations in my life. That's a bad name, apparently. So
- 38:30I told Nikki where that was not on purpose? Sorry about that. That's
- 38:37what happens when I switched things around. So we're not gonna have music for
- 38:40good minutes. We're gonna call Nikki in the second anyway. So it's all
- 38:44work. It's all works out. Is that Ted Nugent? Oh yeah,
- 38:45kind of Um, So we're gonna call Nikki here in a second, give
- 38:51him five minutes. I just give him the five minute warning. It's kind
- 38:54of like football. Yeah. Well, for those that don't know who Nicki
- 38:59Mill is, he's the other half of the Millhouse podcast. I mean you
- 39:04hear like three words out of him every third episode. But his daddy is
- 39:08uh Andy mil the famous tar fisherman. And they do a hell of a
- 39:12podcast, an actual serious one unlike ours, and they basically mean the whole
- 39:17theory. I will let him explain it, but the gist of it is
- 39:21that they are trying to basically record the stories a lot of these South Florida
- 39:27legends. Um before these guys died. I mean to be blunt because I
- 39:30mean, he's getting old looking up there in years and these guys are the
- 39:32guys a pioneered what we do today. So the I think the goal of
- 39:36their podcast, and like I said, Nicky can elaborate on them, but
- 39:37I think their goal is to try to get these stories recorded for posterity so
- 39:43that they don't die with the men that created them. So, which is
- 39:46pretty cool man. Yeah, I mean that's that's admirable. And they've done
- 39:49a lot of work. They drive all over the place and track these guys
- 39:52down and yeah, do serious interviews. We make fun of them, but
- 39:54you know that's where are they talking to you, Paul? Never uh,
- 40:04if they want to talk about tarpan stories, I am not the guy to
- 40:07call or permit or bonefish. Yeah, pretty much. I'm I'm useless.
- 40:10I don't even paint anything pretty so like I'm really out well, like even
- 40:15I told Jared, I hope you didn't bring me here for my tarpet abilities.
- 40:20Right, let's go ahead and try to holler at him. Yeah,
- 40:22yeah, he knows five minutes means a minute and half right exactly. So
- 40:30are we doing this? Yeah? Oh I get it, like we'll hear
- 40:35him, but he's gonna to hear us to the phone thing, Nikki,
- 40:39can you hear us? Yeah, buddy, into the Yeah, well we're
- 40:45dealing with some U let's see, go ahead and talk. Let me see
- 40:47make sure we're gonna sound check on this. Yeah, he's not going to
- 40:54the system. Let me let me change little churd here. Hold in a
- 40:57second. Sorry, buddy, that's tested it earlier and it was working great.
- 41:01Yeah. Nah, he's definitely wasn't in there last time. This is
- 41:06this is the awesome production that we put on. Are you there? Yeah,
- 41:10I'm here man, Wow, got now we're working. Now, we're
- 41:16working. You still didn't answer the goddamn question. Talk to me. What
- 41:20was the question? We didn't hear it? Are we are? We live?
- 41:22Barely? Yeah? Yeah, okay, all right, you're you're live
- 41:27to a recorded device that will be somewhat live in about three hours when the
- 41:30world gets to have it. But it's live in the sense that we don't
- 41:34do any editing or cut any of the crap out. So, yeah,
- 41:37you're live awesome. How does it feel? How does it feel to be
- 41:40live? Hold on? I want to say something first, come on,
- 41:45come on, I want to say that I'm a big fan of what you
- 41:46guys are doing. I love this. Well, we appreciate it, buddy,
- 41:51and we're a big fan of what you do. And and uh,
- 41:53you and your pops do. We were just talking about it kind of an
- 41:57intro before we called you, and uh, we're pumped. Have you let
- 42:00us waste a little time of yours this afternoon? So thank you? Yeah,
- 42:05of course. Man, I don't know why you guys want to talk
- 42:06to me, but uh, well fine, I think you guys have the
- 42:08best, funniest, most hilarious podcasts out there, so keep well, keep
- 42:13on doing you guys, and it's it's awesome. A lot of people are
- 42:15tuning it. Well, you're not only one of the hottest guys and fly
- 42:19fis right now, you're running one of the best podcasts out there. And
- 42:22that actually leads to just the first question, how did And I'm sure it's
- 42:25a little bit more, you know, comp I don't know if it's complicated,
- 42:30but sure there's more to it. But how did you guys finally come
- 42:32up with the idea of doing this and how long did it take for y'all
- 42:36to finally push record on the recorder? Oh man, I've told this quite
- 42:43a few times, I mean sounding a broken record, but I you know,
- 42:45I would say it took about a year to convince my dad to actually
- 42:51dive in and do this, okay, And the whole the whole concept was
- 42:54basically, like, dude, I like grew up, you know, fishing
- 42:59with my dad and then we go out to eat or have a beer with
- 43:01Chico and and Steve Huff and Dustin and all these like I mean growing up.
- 43:08You know, when I was in middle school in high school, people
- 43:12would look at like Michael Jordan and uh Ronald though, and I'd be looking
- 43:15at fucking Steve, you know, Doug kill Pastor and John O'Hearn, like
- 43:21those are those are my idols, you know, from from the stories that
- 43:25my dad would tell me from other anglers, and so getting a chance to
- 43:30hang with these guys and have them tell their story. Just after fishing with
- 43:36my dad, I was like, dude, we need that we need to
- 43:38record these because a lot of these guys aren't known, right, and if
- 43:44their stories aren't published in a magazine or published in a book, or there's
- 43:49no documentary on them, they're never gonna be told. So why not create
- 43:52a platform where we can have these guys aren't and tell their story. And
- 43:57you know, I didn't think it was going to be this success as fool.
- 44:00I just thought it was gonna be fun for my dad and I to
- 44:01do. And my dad was hesitant because he really did not want to go
- 44:07back to work. And I was like, I was like, it's gonna
- 44:10be like talking to your friends. We'll have a beer, you're talking to
- 44:14your buddy. It would be an hour long blah blah blah. Once he
- 44:17started to see like people are tuning in and started to see the downloads and
- 44:22the numbers, and then he started to get jazzed up about it. But
- 44:25yeah, man, it's uh. It just was an idea one day and
- 44:30I probably took a year for us to press record and m here we are.
- 44:36Well, hey, buddy, definitely comes across that you guys are enjoying
- 44:38it and having fun. It seems super natural. And before I'd go any
- 44:43further, before these guys asking any questions, I want to introduce you to
- 44:46Mike Vinson and Doug Rowland. That's who's here with me. I'm meant to
- 44:50do that earlier. So hey, buddy about so I think what's going on
- 44:52Mike and Doug. Guy's probably got a question for you. Yeah, I'll
- 44:55jump in. So, I mean, first off, I'll love what you
- 44:59do. I've been listening to all your episodes. Uh. One thing that
- 45:01kind of strikes me though, is I mean, and this is just human
- 45:05nature and everything else. I definitely there's guys that have been on your your
- 45:07podcast that I don't agree with, you know, or their outlook on things
- 45:12clashes with my own, right, so um, you know, and you
- 45:15know recently there's been a little flak over one of the last guests. And
- 45:17I'm not here to I'm not gonna crack balls on you or anything like that.
- 45:20But the thing is, how do you sitting at the table trying to
- 45:23do the job being professional. I'm sure you don't agree with everything that comes
- 45:28out these dudes' mouths. How do you and your dad even measure that?
- 45:30Is that's something that even kind of bugs you at all? Or is just
- 45:34you're just trying to record things for posterity when when something comes about that we
- 45:39don't agree upon. Yeah, exactly, yeah, like without you know,
- 45:43because I'm sure you guys don't want to cause a scene on you know,
- 45:45on the podcast. But at the same time, you know, you're trying
- 45:47to entertain, try to enter. Yeah, but like I just kind of
- 45:52I can I can feel it when I'm listening. Sometimes I'm like, ah,
- 45:53man, you know that seems kind of shitty, But I'm like,
- 45:55how does it feel to be sitting across from the guy on a microphone?
- 46:00No, I totally get it, and sometimes it's really hard. Um,
- 46:04But at the same time, it's like, who who are we to say
- 46:07that we're right? Yeah? Yeah, I want to feel that, you
- 46:12know. So this is this is a platform for them to come on and
- 46:15express how they feel about something, and if we don't agree with it,
- 46:19um, there's a there's probably a good chance a lot of other people don't
- 46:22agree with it as well. I don't want to like pat myself on the
- 46:24back. But at the same time, it's it's yeah, it can be.
- 46:29It can be really tough, but you know, there's got to be
- 46:34a level of like, um, we can't hate on them too hard.
- 46:39Because we invited them on our show. Yeah yeah, yeah, hey yeah,
- 46:44I just brought you here to beat up on you about your Yeah,
- 46:46it's not like, no, it's a good question because I yeah, I
- 46:50know what you're referring to, and we've we've I would say, we've had
- 46:53two or three people on that we I really regret having on. But I
- 47:00can also imagine, like knowing some of the characters and I have been lucky
- 47:04enough to meet some of them. I mean those guys, that's a living,
- 47:07breathing thing to them, that whole area that they have, like you
- 47:12know, done all their work in, and to them it's like, I
- 47:15mean, how could you love something even more of that? So I imagine
- 47:17there's gonna be a lot of passion that comes into people's opinions, you know,
- 47:22from all different angles. I can see what Nikki saying is like,
- 47:24look, let's give them a platform and let's respect their opinion. Um,
- 47:30maybe he's a better man than me. I'm like, yeah, bro,
- 47:36I'm just that's that's why there's other podcasts out there. Yeah yeah, we
- 47:42could come on and rip everybody, because nobody comes on here. My actual
- 47:45question was much more lighthearted, playful, come on We Got Mad Mike un
- 47:52I actually, hey, I just wanted to know of all these characters that
- 47:55I've listened to, and man, I can't tell you how much I love
- 47:59the podcast. But who was the hardest to get behind the microphone? That's
- 48:05a good question. M hmm. Maybe you don't even want to call him
- 48:12out. If you don't, that's fine. I'm just I'm looking at some
- 48:15of these guys. I'm going, Man, it must have been hard to
- 48:17get this guy. Yeah, yeah, No, I would say I would
- 48:22say Ed Durastic was probably the toughest. Oh wow, okay, and I
- 48:24love that one. That was awesome, Ted, That's my favorite episodes.
- 48:28That guy Ted was probably the toughest, just because I think it was because
- 48:35of my dad. My dad used to fish all t board stuff and he
- 48:38left to go to Hardy and um, I think there was some bad blood
- 48:42there, but uh, I don't know. I think Ted made the right
- 48:45to say. What actually happened was we contacted Steve and we had to have
- 48:51Stevens man, what's funny? What's funny about that? And I've come to
- 49:00find out after all these years of being in this industry is and how small
- 49:04it is and how sensitive everyone is and understandably, like there's reasons so sensitive.
- 49:08Yeah, it's ridiculous, And especially when you're down in the Keys,
- 49:13I feel like the sensitivity is like in a little funnel. Everything kind of
- 49:16gets more like sensitive with you know, guides and gear and who what are
- 49:22you using? Who are you fishing with? And like I, you know,
- 49:24I talked to guys when I was down there a week ago, like
- 49:28physically talked to guys right there talking about how they might have to break up
- 49:31with their guide and how it's like a yeah, it's like a major thing
- 49:36he's been fishing with for eight ten years, and like, I don't know
- 49:37how I'm gonna do it. It takes a lot of PASSI yeah, it's
- 49:39like a marriage. Yeah, yeah, it is. And it's like Tom
- 49:45Evans hates the Keys and he says it's he calls it keysy. You know,
- 49:49it's getting a little keys Oh yeah, like comparing it to other places.
- 49:52Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just it's it is weird. It's
- 49:55a little and sexual, So you know, little one of the questions I
- 50:01wanted to ask, and I'm I'm not being fair to Paul and Mike.
- 50:05I'm squeezing a good buddy. So okay, So, having grown up down
- 50:09there in that environment, do you ever I don't know how to how to
- 50:14phrase this question, do you have do you feel bad or do you worry
- 50:19about the guys that come down there to become guides that want to get him
- 50:22want to be part of that whole community. I mean, even if they
- 50:27have a reputation somewhere else and everybody knows they're good sticks whatever, they come
- 50:31down there and they want to be part of the whole thing, you know,
- 50:35I always wondering about that assimilation. Yeah, first and foremost, I
- 50:39think that I think it's fair to say, if you want to become a
- 50:45guide down there, I think you should live down there, Yeah, like
- 50:47full time? Yeah yeah, yeah, not seasonal. You know, I
- 50:53really think you should be a part of the community year round down there if
- 50:57you want to become a guide. But do I do I judge or do
- 51:00I feel bad for the guys that moved down there and want to start a
- 51:05career down there. I don't know if I feel bad for them, but
- 51:09maybe judge them a little bit. Yeah, Hey, that's fair. You
- 51:14have every right, And I feel like that's even here in Charleston. Yeah,
- 51:16that kind of stuff happens. So who knows. I mean, their
- 51:22passion just might be such in its obsption for whatever bonefish permit Tarpin that you
- 51:30know, they might not be married, they might not have kids, they
- 51:31might be twenty five years old, and that's all they know and care about,
- 51:36and you know, go good for you, go do it. Yeah,
- 51:39it's always hard. Yeah. I know some great guys that have had
- 51:44a tremendous life in fishing. U you know that are keys guys. Well,
- 51:50it's the guys. You'll never hate on a guy that does things the
- 51:52right way and for the right reason, and you know, it doesn't matter
- 51:57where you're at that I think that translates to everybody and you'll hate on them.
- 52:00You know, like we're talking about here and Charleston. Some guy shows
- 52:01up. I've been wrong before, you know. I see a thousand dudes
- 52:05come through. There are guys and then they flake out and whatever. But
- 52:07there's something I came through. And then I'm like, yeah, he'll burn
- 52:09out in a year and then now I'll look out. I'm like, ahy
- 52:12man, he's doing his thing, and he did it the right way and
- 52:14he earned his way in you know whatever, like right, you know,
- 52:17I guess you just gotta be willing to do it. So Nikki, I
- 52:22know you just got back recently from the Keys. How like what's kind of
- 52:27your schedule as far as being down there and how many how many shows do
- 52:30you guys try to record when you're down there, and like how many you
- 52:32are just in the queue waiting to be released right now? We try to
- 52:37do some down there for the month of May and then I come back come
- 52:42back to Colorado like early June. But we try to get around ten to
- 52:45twelve podcast done, you know, when there's bad weather. Unfortunately or fortunately,
- 52:52there was no bad lover this year, so it was tough. It
- 52:58was tough to get podcasts, so we will. We only got six,
- 53:00okay, And do y'all try to release like one a month? Is that
- 53:05kind of your schedule? No? One every two weeks? Oh wow?
- 53:07Yeah? Yeah, every every other Monday, So I think it's yeah,
- 53:13it's twenty six, twenty six episodes a year. We are going to be
- 53:15interviewing the lore Lie bartenders. Actually I want that Internet. It would probably
- 53:22be amazing. Could you get like the head bartender the lore Line just pick
- 53:24that, dude, I would love that interview. Oh my god, you
- 53:30just got me so excited. Oh dude, I can just smell that.
- 53:35I can just smell this cigarette smoke. We were just talking about the lore
- 53:37line men to go about town council and you know all that stuff town hall
- 53:42or whatever it is in the corner over there, and yeah, it's a
- 53:45special place. Man. What was the most fun you ever had with one
- 53:47of these conversations? That's a good one with a podcast. Yeah, like,
- 53:52like, what was one of the characters maybe you didn't know them that
- 53:55well and you got to know him through the podcast, through the conversation.
- 53:59It was just really really fine or surprise, dude, I'll tell you this.
- 54:02We did a podcast with a guy by the name of Ian Slater this
- 54:07year. Yeah, man, hockey man. Yeah, and I bought some
- 54:13some smelling salts. I've seen that, man ducking We opened up that bottle
- 54:22and my dad I thought my dad died. So what was the deal with
- 54:28Ian sells him? What's what's the backstory on that? Sorry, what's the
- 54:32backstory on how you got these smelling salts and why you had him? No,
- 54:36it's just like it was just like I don't know. I've seen him
- 54:37on Instagram and whatnot. It's like viral. All the podcasts are doing it.
- 54:42So I'm like, I'm gonna hop on the Dan wagon. Okay,
- 54:45see the seven year old old man take a hit. So I bought some.
- 54:49And it's like, I'd rather do with Ian because Ian's done a bunch
- 54:52of him. He's he was a professional hockey player, right, so he's
- 54:54been he's had some experience with that, okay, And I just thought it'd
- 54:59be fun, and uh, that's amazing. Yeah, man, he he
- 55:02kind of knew what we were getting into and he took a whimpy, woosy
- 55:07little hit. He put that bottle like a foot away from his nose and
- 55:13wafted it my dad, and my dad put his schnaus right in that bottle.
- 55:20How was? It was really funny? How was Carl Hyacinth? Carl
- 55:24was a great man. My god, He's one of the most naturally funny
- 55:30people I've ever met. I mean, just just the words that come out
- 55:34of his mouth. Um, he's just such a such a great guy,
- 55:38very passionate about fishing, really intelligent. Um, I don't know. I
- 55:45can't say enough great things about him. I'll tell you my favorite. We're
- 55:47talking earlier about how small the community is and how incestuous it can be at
- 55:52times. But like, honestly, one of the favorite interviews that I didn't
- 55:54see coming was all Mexico Returns. Um. You know, I was a
- 56:00part of that whole drake scene thing back in the day, and you know,
- 56:05I've never met him in person, but I felt like I knew him,
- 56:08Like I hang out with the Rummels. The only reason I know the
- 56:09Rummels is because of the Drake Board and I met Rob there and and Rob
- 56:15somehowse tolerated and now it's they're like family. Every we go down there for
- 56:17a week to hang out with us every night and we have dinner and we
- 56:20fished together. Um. But like that was that was a really weird interview
- 56:24to listen to. Hey, he's a great guy and a very knowledgeable dude,
- 56:29but like to hear somebody from the drake board, I don't know,
- 56:32man, that took me out. It was definitely, it was weird.
- 56:35It was weird. Did you know Mike Holiday was Mexico Returns. I did
- 56:40not. I mean I knew he was a guide in Stewart. I knew
- 56:43he did like a lot of the near shore offshore stuff. Like I kind
- 56:45of knew like a iss who he was, but I didn't know him,
- 56:51like I had no contact with him and no nothing like that other than just
- 56:53our conversations on a stupid internet chat board and you know, and he's like
- 56:59an there. He's probably one of the most witty, funny just quick like
- 57:02cut you off because I'm I'm I'm me, I'm loud, and stay stupid
- 57:06shit. And he would just come in and just like lock my balls off
- 57:08occasionally, and I just laughed the whole time because he was I'm like,
- 57:12I'm out of my league, Like I can't compete with this guy, you
- 57:15know. Yeah, it's hard to hang with Mike. Yeah, good dude.
- 57:17Yeah, he's a good dude. I had no idea about his drake
- 57:21Bord or that book or anything. That was all new to me. So
- 57:23that was pretty funny. That place was the wild West. That's how I'm
- 57:27at Paul. I mean shit, like a lot of everybody I know,
- 57:30Oh yeah, yeah, back, yeah, Paul. What was your online
- 57:35screen name, mother pucka Yeah that was motherfucker. Yeah. So this old
- 57:40boy did like a fly fishing film about the Low Country. This was when
- 57:45I was still in Atlanta, which was awesome. It's like really good two
- 57:47thousand and eight two yeah, And they were gonna play it in Atlanta.
- 57:52So he called me and it's like, hey man, we're coming Atlanta.
- 57:54Can we stay your play It wasn't you know, wouldn't just state your place
- 57:57were the cheapest hotel close to course, Look, he's fishing, he's looking
- 58:00for you. You can stay up my players. So we did that.
- 58:05I don't remember, like and this is like the the you know, the
- 58:07the leftover of you having the mohawk with the false albucorre. Yeah. Yeah,
- 58:12So this old boy showed up with a mohawk to my house after I've
- 58:16just known him one the line, you know, it's so creepy. It's
- 58:19like a weird you know, Ebays sale where this guy's showing up and he's
- 58:22just like, this is who's I got sold on this guy? And so
- 58:27later on we're hanging out with Ben Austin and then we go to the Taco
- 58:30Cabana and order thirty tacos for four or five people, and we're just all
- 58:34hammered. And that's how Mike Vincent and I got to know each other over
- 58:37taco cabanas and about thirty seven beers. Oh yeah, at least so I
- 58:43got. I got kind of not really a question, but more of an
- 58:45observation. So I really love it when you basically play pranks on your dad
- 58:51because it reminds me a lot of my dad and eyes relationship. I used
- 58:53to basically just mess with him all the time. And if we had social
- 58:59media, like my dad would probably be fifty percent of what I would put
- 59:02on there because it would just me me. It would just be me playing
- 59:06pranks on him, like all the time. So whenever I see that,
- 59:08it honestly brings out, it brings back fond memories of just my dad and
- 59:14I. So I just love that you do that and just it's just messing
- 59:16with Andy, and I love it because it just takes it takes me back.
- 59:20Man. You may old geezers have come up to me and said that
- 59:24it's true. Though, Man, just keep doing it. Even if even
- 59:30if we didn't know your dad, and you know your dad wasn't doesn't matter.
- 59:32Like it's the best stuff ever. So please keep going because it takes
- 59:36me back. I'll tell you one of the best ones. I don't think
- 59:38I don't think you saw this. Maybe you didn't, but it was just
- 59:42a quick story. Years ago. We were in the keys. We got
- 59:45a hammered the night before. We wake up late. Everyone's hung over.
- 59:50My dad. I'm in the I'm in the living room or something. We're
- 59:52running this house. My dad comes out of his bedroom when his tidy whities
- 59:58and a shirt on, and he doesn't know I'm in the living room and
- 1:00:02for some reason, I'm on my phone, so I just start filming.
- 1:00:05And he walks straight into the kitchen, walks straight into the kitchen, right
- 1:00:10opens up the drawer and he grabs this fucking twelve inch long like pitchfork,
- 1:00:16like steak flipper, and he sticks it above his head and down his back
- 1:00:22into scratching, starts scratching for like thirty seconds, puts it and pulls it
- 1:00:29out, puts it back in the drawer, shuts the drawer, and he
- 1:00:31goes back into his bedroom. It's like watching a wild animal, dude,
- 1:00:37I was I couldn't believe. I was like seeing a fucking unicorn. That's
- 1:00:43amazing. So okay, thanks morning, Like all right, first off,
- 1:00:45wash that. Secondly, that I've been I've been saving the story. I
- 1:00:52wanted to share it with him. Yeah, I'll make it quiet, Okay,
- 1:00:54make it However, I can't remember. I think I was just at
- 1:00:58the University of Georgia. This was probably you went to Georgia. Okay,
- 1:01:04So I just probably out like two thousand and five something like that. It
- 1:01:07was I can't remember what year. So I was driving. I was making
- 1:01:10these epic drives from Atlanta down to the Keys to fish of Diego. H
- 1:01:17Okay, okay. So one day, one day I'm out there with Diego.
- 1:01:24We're fishing Loggerhead, right, and I look over and it's Andy Mill
- 1:01:31standing on the front of the boat like near us. And I'm like,
- 1:01:36he's he's got that cigar in his mouth. And I'm like, I'm like
- 1:01:39Jesus Christ as fucking handy Mill. And he's like Dianego starts going to do
- 1:01:45I see what you're looking at. Just pay attention to what we're doing.
- 1:01:49Doug got star struck, and Diego's like, what are you a groupie?
- 1:01:52Pay you remember he had that he had that dolphin last but that wasn't supposed
- 1:01:57to be a dolphin, and he had like rigged it out himself, and
- 1:02:00everything on the deck was fucking slippery as house. Nice had no grit to
- 1:02:05it at all. And um, we're fishing. String of fish. Come
- 1:02:09in. I'm feeling good. I'm like, dude, I'm next to Andy
- 1:02:14Mill. This is gonna be fuck. You're about to put a show off
- 1:02:17right in front. And I fall. I slip and fall off the castle.
- 1:02:22God onto my side. Yes, probably the worst fall I've ever taken
- 1:02:29on a flash. But the only thing I remember is looking up seeing Andy.
- 1:02:34Your dad just shaking his head. Oh god, he probably said,
- 1:02:39he probably said, that's probably something dude from Georgia. Oh that's really good
- 1:02:46man. How long? How long did that relationship last? Five days?
- 1:02:53I know, actually about about four years. I don't know where he is.
- 1:02:59I'd love to catch up with him. I'm not sure where you're You're
- 1:03:02probably as long as clack. Yeah, for about four years I would drive
- 1:03:06down there constantly. See Duck can take the heat. Yeah you can take
- 1:03:13that deany heat too, man, Nikki. I learned so much from that
- 1:03:19guy. Oh my gosh, yeah, no, he's I have I hate
- 1:03:24that guy. He's what I think, you know, I think he's one
- 1:03:30of the best down there, hands down. Yeah, he's a really talented
- 1:03:36fisherman and guid. Yeah, that's a that's a hilarious memory. Well,
- 1:03:40hey man, let's round this out with let's I'm just gonna just bring it
- 1:03:45back to your Are you an aspen right now? I am? Well,

- 1:03:59I hate to say that, Okay, yeah, well but uh, I'm
- 1:04:03in guide in parentheses because what we're doing is not really fucking guiding, to
- 1:04:08be honest with you, but I'm a I'm a guy to like early October,
- 1:04:12so June to early October and then um the podcast hold me over and
- 1:04:18um that's kind of my gig right now. I got I got a little
- 1:04:21bit el cunning in the in the fall. I was about to say,

- 1:04:28the mail and I got my tag? You did? Yeah? Yeah,
- 1:04:31yeah, I got my Montana tag too. That's odd, man. I
- 1:04:34love seeing that I didn't. I didn't get it last year, which is
- 1:04:38a bummer and I didn't get a I didn't get a deer in Colorado this
- 1:04:42year. So just come to South Carolina for like fifty bucks. You can
- 1:04:46kill eight year. They don't give a bud. In fact, take more.
- 1:04:51You can buy extra year tags if you want. They're like pet deer
- 1:04:56down here. Oh my god, I'm not pet dear. They're hard to
- 1:04:58kill. The coastal deer are hard to kill with the boat. It's not
- 1:05:00easy. But you get eight tags, so you get a lot of them
- 1:05:03if you're real good. I got my I got my keys to your tag
- 1:05:05this year. I'll just pull up and grab that thing and rope it.

- 1:05:15the No Name Pub one year and I was down in a family vacation and
- 1:05:17my niece and nephew were just wild out there by the trash. They're rather
- 1:05:20feed damn deer pizza. I was like, don't feed the deer pizza my
- 1:05:26mom. My mom was like, why don't they just kids? Like they're
- 1:05:29gonna kill them. That's where I set my stand up. Yeah, dude,
- 1:05:33those things are awful. Gordy Hill one day was going out fishing in
- 1:05:39the seventies and he saw a crocodile eat the keys. Oh my god,
- 1:05:42I would love to see that. Yeah, nature's metal. Well, you

- 1:06:30Just look at me going this. I would have just rolled off the
- 1:06:33side of the boat in the water. I mean I didn't hinded it.
- 1:06:36I couldn't catch my breath for like like three minute time. Diego is just
- 1:06:42like, man, just lay there. I will say, um, this
- 1:06:45year was the sketchiest on the bow. I'm like, because I designed my
- 1:06:48own casting platform and it got built the way I told him to build it.
- 1:06:54Yeah, but it wasn't right and the legs and even it needs to
- 1:06:58be adjusted. That is the tallest tippy. I mean, boy, you
- 1:07:01better stay centered, like I mean, it was some mister Miagi shit up
- 1:07:04there because he got off balance. He was going, yeah, yeah,
- 1:07:09you're like Tucker didn't even Tucker started doing it and then he almost ate it
- 1:07:13about four times, so he just started standing in front of it. I'm
- 1:07:15not amazing. It's crazy. Yeah, I don't mind. That was fun.
- 1:07:21Nikki seemed like a nice guy. Man. I never met him in
- 1:07:24person. I never met his dad either. I've been around Andy at like
- 1:07:28shows and shit. But he's doing his Andy Mill thing and it is funny
- 1:07:30though when he missed with his dad, like it's so you'll definitely need to
- 1:07:33make sure you follow him on Instagram. And it's messing with Andy so funny.
- 1:07:39Yeah, oh, y'all, I'll talk about yourself. I get a
- 1:07:44doing No, this is great, man, that was awesome. I um,
- 1:07:47so you're gonna are you gonna hunt same spot you hunt usually long Yeah,
- 1:07:51the same family in Cascade and pumped about it. I still be four
- 1:07:58years in a row, maybe five. Um, one of these years,
- 1:08:00I'm gonna One of these years, I'm gonna scrap some cash and I'm gonna
- 1:08:03do it. Because the thing is, like I I've very much always been
- 1:08:06to do it yourself, guy, but that's not a thing I want to
- 1:08:08try to do myself. So that's a really intimidating thing to try to do
- 1:08:12yourself. Yeah, I mean, and if you had the time to dedicate
- 1:08:15a few years of danger, yeah, no shares. Yeah. And so
- 1:08:18my deal is like, if I'm gonna do it, if do it right,
- 1:08:20and let's be real, dug, its not cheap to do it right.
- 1:08:23So nope. But but you know, we're adults. Stuff. I
- 1:08:29will say this, I pay less than most people, you know, I
- 1:08:30know, Yeah, you kind of you gotta go. Yeah, And I'm
- 1:08:34not saying I would like, but I got a ballpark figure on what it
- 1:08:38would take for me to really do it. There's a lot of those ranches
- 1:08:41out there, like the guys, I mean, they're working. It's a
- 1:08:44working cattle ranch. Yeah, and so they do twelve hunts all archery a
- 1:08:47year that's hit and they basically do it for them. It's a vacation.
- 1:08:51Oh yeah, they got a break from ranch, and they get a break
- 1:08:55from ranch for it, and uh, they will hike your ass off.
- 1:08:58Yeah, fifty two miles was five days. I'm into that nothing. I
- 1:09:01mean, yeah, and it's but it's it's awesome and rewards are big.
- 1:09:05Yeah, I'd like to do it one of these days. For now?
- 1:09:10How to sell for carpet fishing. I spent all my money building a boat
- 1:09:13for it. Might as well do it boat for it, and I will
- 1:09:16say it went on the boat, yes, yeah, yeah. So we
- 1:09:19went out deep holling for shrimp, and uh, I was not good at
- 1:09:25that. I do not know how to be fair. The more I thought
- 1:09:28about it, the more of an idiot we were trying to even pull it
- 1:09:30off, Like we were doing mid tide on a big tide with the southwest
- 1:09:35winds, so like, not only was Paul trying to keep the boat where
- 1:09:38I wanted to keep it, but then I'm trying to put the net in
- 1:09:41a place where it can drift down to the shrimp. It's almost impossible.
- 1:09:43Yeah, exactly. It was dumb. I caught two, but it was
- 1:09:46too shrimp. It was. It was trying though. His No, they're
- 1:09:53leaners, lookers, she's looking not a leaner. Look I like it.
- 1:09:58That boat of his, though, eats a fucking way though. Man.
- 1:10:00Oh hell yeah does that. Those old fishers, it just eat it up,
- 1:10:04man dry. It was fun to finally be in that boat. You
- 1:10:08sacrifice some shit for that, but by god, you ain't gonna get it
- 1:10:11some perfect Jackson tarpin and you know big tied redfish. Well the thing it's
- 1:10:15like even you know big tide red fish, you can pull her around.
- 1:10:17But like you know, I spent my whole those years I made the video,
- 1:10:23and all those years we had polling skiffs, but we got out and
- 1:10:26walked exactly, and I caught my best day on a on a flood tide
- 1:10:30ever with one one tide. I put eleven red fish on my on my
- 1:10:34fly rod in one tide, and my buddy that was let me caught six
- 1:10:38or seven. That's awesome. And we were fishing out of a twenty three
- 1:10:40foot Kenner Center console. Wow, hopping out and waiting for men. Ben
- 1:10:44Floyd, Yeah, and we were hopping out on our spots and walking around
- 1:10:46and I put a leven fish to hand and one tide walking. So I'm
- 1:10:50like, why, Like, at what point did I become such a bougie
- 1:10:53idiot that like I felt like I have to be able to pull through this.
- 1:10:56I look at you though, and I think, yeah, you do
- 1:10:58and so but now I feel like, now my thing is I'm just honestly
- 1:11:00that things is gonna be a mothership if it's not a big enough tied to
- 1:11:02pole. I got no problem getting an out walk. There's a man I
- 1:11:05know named Alex Hordon. He loves getting in that water. Ye. And
- 1:11:10I used to hop out barefoot. I mean it's not comfortable, but you
- 1:11:12can. I like feet and get to them. Yeah, well I do
- 1:11:15it on the paddle board. Yeah, and your paddle board band. Now
- 1:11:18you want to tell the people about your paddle boarding. Yeah. So I
- 1:11:23got on it. I did not feel safe on it, but it worked
- 1:11:26out. I moved to a new house in downtown Charleston round the Ashley River
- 1:11:30and it's, uh, it's fantastic. I've got this incredible flat right out
- 1:11:33back, and so I wouldn't got myself a nice paddleboard. You gotta get
- 1:11:39one of them ones that germ's got that lived. I get my big old
- 1:11:43non coordinated asshole. It's not stable as crap. Man, it's not hard.
- 1:11:46Wouldn't you start fighting it? So at first I was like fighting it
- 1:11:50over correcting anything. I feel like any time you overcorrect something, you're fucking
- 1:11:55up, like with your both the other one to riff with the paddle board.
- 1:11:58Once you just finally keep your legs still. Yeah, everything, you
- 1:12:00just it's fine. Yeah. Yeah. I can jump on that thing and
- 1:12:03scoot out to a flat and I get out there, I jump off it,
- 1:12:10and I mean literally it's nothing to catch it. I mean he's got
- 1:12:14tailing fish in his backyard. Pretty cool. Yeah, old nasty Ashley don't.
- 1:12:18Well, you don't need that. You don't need the big seven six
- 1:12:21seven. You see, like a six point and I can fish these little
- 1:12:25flats that honestly we couldn't see from the river. Yeah, well you get
- 1:12:30you get a hydraulic effect. So like the further up the actually you get.
- 1:12:32Yeah, it's like the Wando. It's apple about the far from where
- 1:12:36he is. Where you need a six seven. It's like a round a
- 1:12:40river bend and exactly the smallest tide I've caught fish on is a five nine.
- 1:12:45Yeah, well right now, it was wet when I came across,
- 1:12:48and it's only a five something. It's pushing right now, Yeah, it's
- 1:12:51pushing in shore though that that wind's coming off the beach, so for sure.
- 1:12:56Yeah, Well, should be around the thing out, scoop, and
- 1:13:00then we'll come back. We'll come back and round this thing off. We

- 1:15:24is going to be a little bit different. Hey, I'm Ben. I'm
- 1:15:30a huge fly fisherman, and I've put out a video about fly fishing on
- 1:15:34YouTube every week for four and a half years. That's a pretty good streak.
- 1:15:40And I had a feeling it would come to an end someday, and
- 1:15:44today's that today. I'm not gonna stop making videos. I just don't have
- 1:15:48one for you today, and that's all right. I've been very busy fishing
- 1:15:53and making videos and being a dad and a husband and lots of other things.
- 1:15:59I just got caught and I don't have a video for you today.
- 1:16:02But I need to feed the algorithm. So here we are. You're listening
- 1:16:06to me telling me, so I thought i'd take this opportunity and say thank
- 1:16:11you. Thank you for watching my videos, thank you for hitting like and
- 1:16:15subscribe, thank you for becoming a member at my website and buying my merch
- 1:16:20thank you for just being a part of the Huge universe. You might not
- 1:16:26even know it, but you are a part of my life and I appreciate
- 1:16:30it, and I wanted to say thank you. So that's it. I
- 1:16:33just wanted to keep this short, say thank you and put something out there.
- 1:16:38I will be back next week with a pretty killer bass fishing video for
- 1:16:42you. Until then, I hope you get the chance to get out and
- 1:16:45go fishing and stay huge. Thank you guys. Thanks Ben, There's only
- 1:16:53Huge five fishing our friend Ben. I thought it would be even funnier that
- 1:16:58the video we put up wouldn't even really well you know, and you know
- 1:17:01it's fun. It's like we were kind of talking about with with Nikki about
- 1:17:05their podcasts, and you know, I don't know most of the guys on
- 1:17:09his podcast, but they're we were talked about one particularly that I didn't know
- 1:17:11Mike, and um, well I didn't know, but like I thought I
- 1:17:15knew, but Ben is somebody I actually know. So I spent a lot
- 1:17:17of time at home being mister mom with a baby, and you know,
- 1:17:20she runs around doing shit. And to be able to turn on YouTube on
- 1:17:25my TV and click on an old huge fly fisherman or or go to his
- 1:17:28website actually because I'm remember over there and and and and his new videos pop
- 1:17:31about Ben is a I consider him a friend of mine. And to be
- 1:17:35able to have that dude in your living room just Allen call yeah, like
- 1:17:39on the touch of a button. It's a pretty cool world we live in
- 1:17:42where you know that's quite a few wormholes with Huge Fly Fisherman. Yeah.
- 1:17:46I mean it's like because and it's I'm sure a lot of people love it.
- 1:17:49But when you know the guy and you fished with a guy and you've
- 1:17:53been around like it just it's weird. It's like it's like having Paul in
- 1:17:55the living on demand, Like it's just putting a little Paul in a lot
- 1:17:59because he's got a lot of videos, a lot of videos. If you
- 1:18:01uh, I mean, I mean, if you get on there, you
- 1:18:04can get to the one where you can't find the into it he's got.
- 1:18:08He's he's been attacking us for like four years, probably fine year. Oh
- 1:18:11yeah, he said four in the video he just got there's been yeah,
- 1:18:15but yeah, so can we talk about wormholes? Can we talk ye,
- 1:18:18not actual wormholes but YouTube YouTube wormholes. Yeah, like we gotta fill some
- 1:18:23segments. Yeah, I'm trying to think of what I've been in while you're
- 1:18:25talking. Yeah, so the one I've been in since I've so, I've
- 1:18:28been really doing this boat for three years, and of course these projects that
- 1:18:30I've come along. I knew some things about some things, but there's a
- 1:18:33lot of shit I just didn't know that much about. And we live in
- 1:18:35the twenty first centuries. So I could YouTube people who have done it before,
- 1:18:40and you know, so it's amazing, like these people show yourself like
- 1:18:42shit, I never would have thought to do that, and it saves you
- 1:18:44so much time and money, you know. So I got into watching boat
- 1:18:48restoration videos and ending that led down into a rabbit hole to where now I
- 1:18:54don't sail. I've never sailed. I understand the concept of sailing. I
- 1:18:57have no interest in sailing. However, I am subscribed to like six channels
- 1:19:01that are just people rebuilding sailboats. It's mesmerizing to see these people, the
- 1:19:08amount of work they do and the skill set they have and like the very
- 1:19:11best foul weather gear. Oh never, Oh it's sailing. You should never
- 1:19:15buy fly fishing foul weather. Girl. You go to the sailing racing sailboat,
- 1:19:19find out what the racing guys in the Americas comes there. Yeah,
- 1:19:25that's what I was zi. Yeah, our buddy Tray used to rip those
- 1:19:28guys I had. I had a Zike jack. It was the greatest jacket.
- 1:19:30Dude. I could stand in the middle of hurricane yeah for two days.
- 1:19:35But yeah, so like I'm so now that's like my my wormhole.
- 1:19:39Like, and I watch people work on boats twenty four. That's add If
- 1:19:43I have ten minutes of myself to watch something, it's not gonna be the
- 1:19:45latest episode of whatever the TV show is, it's gonna be some dude doing
- 1:19:48fiberglass. Fiberglass work is the most cathartic thing to watch ever. I mean,
- 1:19:51it makes me so to do it. I like doing it, but
- 1:19:55it's it's messy, it's itchy, it's it's bitch. But to watch somebody
- 1:19:59do it, it's like, oh my god, man. I don't know
- 1:20:00if I'm like autistic or something, but I really like watching people, like
- 1:20:04just want six to Midden. I love a lot of the butter Night Fiberglass
- 1:20:12work or watch it. I love watching the fiberglass. How much niche shit
- 1:20:15do you think is on YouTube? Though? So I've got every channel of
- 1:20:19Van builds. Yeah, yeah, I've got every channel of guitar builds.
- 1:20:24Yeah, of course, what's my next what's my next thing? I don't
- 1:20:26know. You guys are officially middle aged. Dude, that ship is so
- 1:20:30good. We're mil You're older than Mela. Dude. I've watched three World
- 1:20:35War two documentaries. I was listening to George Carlin Supernova in the East on
- 1:20:41the way here. It's the fourth time i've listened serious. By the way,
- 1:20:45Carlin is my He's my spirit. World War two in color. Now
- 1:20:48I can get in that worm a little bit. I saw a tweet or
- 1:20:53a meme the other day I said, when you turned forty, you have
- 1:20:56two choices. Either get into real you've been a World War two is or
- 1:21:01you get into smoke. At meeting, I was like, God, damn
- 1:21:03it, I don't checked off both boxes. I'm not even forty yet.
- 1:21:10It's so true. I mean, what's funny is I'm in a World War
- 1:21:14two like kid and it's just yeah. I mean, I'm you can see
- 1:21:19it in color. It's like a whole new war. Now, I'm a
- 1:21:21history of Finac like this is you are, You've always been. I love
- 1:21:25that shit. But like Carlin is the King is. The other morning,
- 1:21:29I swear to god, I came downstairs and Becca was looking at me weird,
- 1:21:31and I was like, Becca, what's wrong. She's like, I'm
- 1:21:32just worried about you, and she I was. She was like, you
- 1:21:35watch three World War two documentaries. Your biggest fight right now is with the
- 1:21:40neighborhood raccoon and you're a drinking men of Musal. Well, you know what's
- 1:21:46funny, though, Let's let's put this in perspective. Back in the nineties,
- 1:21:53if you didn't have YouTube and ye all these things, you'd be buying
- 1:21:56Ferraris. That's true. Yeah, Ann, at least you don't have a
- 1:22:00vertibal Miata in the parking of the driveway. You'd be buying for our reason
- 1:22:06of twenty three year old blonde like mistresses. Yeah, and now we have
- 1:22:10YouTube and we have we have trash bandas it's like he saves our lives.
- 1:22:15Yeah. I watched people do fiberglass work and listen to the horrors of the
- 1:22:18Pacific theater of World War two on and smoked meats on the weekends, and
- 1:22:24smoked meat on the weekend. What will we do without triggers? Tell it
- 1:22:29it was inevitable. Did you ever end up getting the egg or whatever?
- 1:22:31No, I'm going to it's just so tough man, dude. The like
- 1:22:35the other night, my wife, I didn't realize this. I had never
- 1:22:39smoked hill Opinion poppers for my wife. So I was at the girth store
- 1:22:43and I was making I was making some Mexican dish and but it's one of
- 1:22:46those things. You're going through the aisle at the girth store. The produce
- 1:22:49and the haill opinions were prime. I mean they were big and like good
- 1:22:55and fresh, you know, they just got in and they were massive.
- 1:22:57They were huge, and I was like, oh shit, and I knew
- 1:23:00what I had to do. So I grabbed a bunch of and I went
- 1:23:02home and I grabbed a pound of bacon, and I want to go home
- 1:23:05and and I pulled the cream smoke out. Joanne comes home. Yeah,
- 1:23:10Joanne comes home and she's like, what are you doing. I'm like,
- 1:23:12well, I want to get a whole mess of them right now. I
- 1:23:14was like, I'm gonna make dinner. But I was like, miss,
- 1:23:15I was like, I'm on, it only takes like two hours and smoke
- 1:23:18a real good I was like. So I was like, I was like,
- 1:23:20I'm gonna do some high opinion pop. She goes what I was like,
- 1:23:24don't worry about it, and like I gave her one, you know,
- 1:23:26with dinner or whatever, like let's appetizer for dinner, and so I
- 1:23:29hand her one and she cuts it. Oh my god. Because we talked,
- 1:23:33I was like, we'll give them. I'll take him to work with
- 1:23:35me and give away the rest of them or whatever. Didn't you go,
- 1:23:39Yeah, I scooped him out. They weren't hot, and and so like
- 1:23:41I was like, I'll take the leftovers and I'll take them to work,
- 1:23:43give them to the girls at work because it's going into the weekend. And
- 1:23:45she ate like she look like two batches. Oh my god, shees,
- 1:23:48you're not giving anybody anyway. They're so good? Are you the one that
- 1:23:54showed me how to do it? And so somebody showed me with cream cheese
- 1:23:59makes it with this, yeah, rabbing bacon. You get two fifty for
- 1:24:04two hours to call it a fucking day. I think that it ain't hard.
- 1:24:09Maybe. I mean, I sprinkled mine with the meat Church. They
- 1:24:13are not our sponsor, but I just want to give them a shout out
- 1:24:15because I might be saved. Might be. I ain't done shipping them.
- 1:24:17The Holy the Holy Gospel rub is great, but the one I've been on
- 1:24:21now is the Holy Voodoo. It's a Cajun Hallelujah. I sprinkled them things
- 1:24:28down with that, so they pretty caramelize with the little Cajun cal sugar on
- 1:24:31the outside. Now what I might what I might do next. What I
- 1:24:35might do next is get us in with the bare Holman's w sauce. That's
- 1:24:40good. I've been somebody's some One of the guys I fished with down this
- 1:24:45year, we invited two new guys. Yeah, yeah, saw that.
- 1:24:46So we had two new guys and um one of them was like, we
- 1:24:49were cooking up a storm. Of course we always do. And he's like,
- 1:24:51you boys don't fuck around. So like Tucker of course had done,
- 1:24:56like his steaks. He he has a kit where he can age them dry
- 1:25:00age stakes at his house. He drives him for like thirty or forty days
- 1:25:03or something and then do so anyway, He's like, so he sent Tucker
- 1:25:08some thing or another, but he sent me a bottle of W sauce and
- 1:25:11I haven't got to use it yet. I haven't used it on anything I've
- 1:25:14got. The standard is kind of a flavored beefed up orch sire and then
- 1:25:18there's like a pepper one too, that's kind of like a This Bears company.

- 1:27:32course there's all kinds of shady. Well you look good man, but I
- 1:27:35appreciate you. You like the studio. It's eclectic, I believe, is
- 1:27:42the word when one might use to describe the piles of fine art or lack
- 1:27:46thereofs. So were you at the whale down the road and star cars?
- 1:27:49Oh heavens? No, no, this is just a short cut to the
- 1:27:55jet waiting for me on the tom Mac and a friend of mine? Uh,
- 1:28:00does have an interest in your fine office establishment here? Yes, to
- 1:28:03buy it? Do you own the whole building? Pol? Or? Is
- 1:28:06it just just this one room? It's just somebody's that's that you bought your
- 1:28:11own student. Yeah, you got some friends that Yeah. Yeah, they've
- 1:28:15done all this. The refinery here across the street. Yeah, we're hard
- 1:28:17by the refinery here and Charleston. Yeah hard up, I see, okay,
- 1:28:21No, not hard anyway. So what do you do you one of
- 1:28:25our sponsors fly away? Yes it is sure. No, I'm on my
- 1:28:31way to you, d of the keys down at Alamaro for the tournaments.
- 1:28:34You got the Gold Cup coming up right? No? I don't usually fish
- 1:28:38the Gold Cup. Not any longer. See, Uh, I know this
- 1:28:43is hard to comprehend, as though the prestigious placed upon the gold Cup.
- 1:28:45However, Uh, those of us who truly top and fish, uh see,
- 1:28:51the gold Cup is more of a farm league, if you will.
- 1:28:55The Triple Crown, as it were, was more of a h participant Asian
- 1:29:00trophy. Okay, for those of us who chase the true giants, I
- 1:29:02follow him in the great swootsteps of the Southern gentleman himself, of course,
- 1:29:05mister Pate Okay, in Gabon, and we chase true giants. Where is
- 1:29:12that? Uh? It's on the dark forbidden coast of the motherland, Puertoy
- 1:29:17Africa, Africa. So do you see him on flats like coming from like
- 1:29:21a mile away? Just I prefer not to have the ease of knowing the
- 1:29:26top and is in the area. One must assume the top and is in
- 1:29:30the area. Will the top and into the area, and then feed the
- 1:29:32top and spiritually and then no, let's stay with me metaphorically spiritually and then
- 1:29:43physically. One must attain the physical connection through the metaphysical committion. No,
- 1:29:50we do not, Paul or Doug or whoever. That's it's been like it.
- 1:30:00Should you ever find yourself in Gabon, which it's probably been a year,
- 1:30:03it is quite the spiritual connection. Do you take a lot of shots
- 1:30:08immunizations to go over there? Well? To be fair. As a child
- 1:30:13on Safari, I was bitten by many flies. The doctors tell me I
- 1:30:16have a quin fired. Uh, natural immunization. So as it were,
- 1:30:23despite my less than tan complexion, I'm quite African inside. Yes, yes,
- 1:30:29I have been exposed to many of the viruses. One can only been
- 1:30:33bit so many times without encountering the I get ready African diseases. Yes,
- 1:30:40yes, so I think the last time we had you on, we had
- 1:30:42a friend j. Johnson that would just recently back from New Guinea. You
- 1:30:45said you were from Old Guinea. You would just take your tip to old
- 1:30:51beautiful place, beautiful place. Have you been back to Old Guinea? You
- 1:30:56No, No, there was nothing there for me, Paul, to be
- 1:30:59fair, So it's old news for you. It's once once scene is is
- 1:31:03is never again? In my book. Uh, I'm on a mission,
- 1:31:09as it were my life, to see to see you all the old places.
- 1:31:13Are you quite all right there? Actually? It's Paul, Oh,
- 1:31:16that's Paul. See this is why I can't get this scrap. That's okay.

- 1:31:34private airport, of course. Is the jet is waiting as as such?
- 1:31:39However I came by once again. Uh you always get you always get Lewis
- 1:31:43to go. Are you going to get Lewis to go? Oh? Of
- 1:31:45course that's why you're Yeah. You guys are buddies, you know. Yeah.
- 1:31:49Of course of course he makes he makes palatable. Uh, one must.
- 1:31:57One must make dudes with what one has at hand. Of course,
- 1:32:00are you a raving guy or a brisket guy? Personally? Personally, I
- 1:32:10like the u the rib meat, but only the top portion where it meets
- 1:32:15the spine, that is the most tender section. So Calhoun, yes,
- 1:32:24let's get back to fish. Sorry, I get excited about my meat.
- 1:32:27So I got a little row when I was in the keys fish on the
- 1:32:30ocean side. Yes, yes, I caught quite the warm up. I
- 1:32:33caught seven fish, all over one hundred pounds. And even if that's pretty
- 1:32:36awesome. Ye high five. It sounds hi five, I've just washed my
- 1:32:41hands called. Okay, it sounds it sounds like quite the morning in the
- 1:32:45U in the kiddie pool as it were. Yes, it does sound.
- 1:32:48It sounds like you had side seven fish in the morning. You know that
- 1:32:54that would be exceptional for some for sure. Okay, what do you need
- 1:32:57of the worm hatch? When have you ever say one? Yeah, one
- 1:33:00have I seen? Yes, I've seen the worm hatch? Or one has
- 1:33:05I've bathed amongst the ones on the full moon on an outgoing tide. You
- 1:33:12see, you didn't have a rod. You've just done it so many times
- 1:33:15you'd rather just swim with them. I wanted to understand why the top and
- 1:33:18wouldn't be there as it were, so the only way to understand was to
- 1:33:23be in the water as one of them. One Texas from your drivers saying,
- 1:33:29Sin Calhoun, I'm certain he's getting it. And see, well,
- 1:33:32we didn't even know nobody wants to work these days. I swear we didn't
- 1:33:35even get into like the real thick, the real questions. I'm certain Michael
- 1:33:41will need a loan. It's you got any questions before he leaves. I'm
- 1:33:45sorry, I've just choked. Well, good luck in the dark deep waters
- 1:33:47of friends. Jet fuel waits for no man, I shall see myself out.
- 1:33:54Okay, all right, very well, very well, thank you?
- 1:33:57All right, Sorry, I was in professional I don't know. Man.
- 1:34:03Yeah, he's an asshole, right, he's don't think he's trying. I
- 1:34:08don't he's It's hard to call him an asshole because he's not trying to be
- 1:34:11an asked No, he just is one. Y'all lost me on by definition
- 1:34:15he is, but he's not trying to be one. I mean, you
- 1:34:17lost me on the o G the old guy. You didn't hear the old
- 1:34:23gun? Where are you going around? When Jay? You were there fairly
- 1:34:27at the table he got tacos? Was there too? Yeah, Rom probably
- 1:34:33was there. I mean, y'a might y'all might hate Calhoun, but I
- 1:34:36love Calhoun. He's such. He wasn't rude. Oh he wouldn't know.
- 1:34:45He gave me the side out when he was leaving. Man not know that
- 1:34:47does does the organ man know the roaches are being rude to him? Because
- 1:34:51that's how that's how Calhoun sees you to be fair and me. I'm not

- 1:35:14our show. We still got like three beers. And I got to HBO
- 1:35:19last night and I was like, I'm just gonna find something new on HBO.
- 1:35:24Of y'all seen or heard the podcast that Jason Bateman. Yes, you
- 1:35:30watched the video, but me and me and Joanne listened to the We listen
- 1:35:34to the podcast all the time. And it's watching the show. Joanne's been
- 1:35:40watching it. I saw, I've caught clips of it It's all black,
- 1:35:42and watched the first episode. I need to watch more of it. But
- 1:35:45like the show, the actual podcast is. I mean, well, what's
- 1:35:48funny? I've not listened got three Hollywood level writers like talking to each other,
- 1:35:53and I have not listened to the podcast. I've only watched the episode
- 1:35:56one of the HBO one. But it reminds me we were to getting a
- 1:36:00private plane. If you watch who was Doug Oh? Yeah, I know,
- 1:36:04but I think he's absolutely genus. Do you have hbop or whatever?
- 1:36:09Yeah, whatever they call it that Max watch it tonight. It's twenty twenty
- 1:36:14three. Well, I don't know if he has it, I have it.
- 1:36:16I just SmartLess look it up. Is it a podcast or yes,
- 1:36:20it's just a video behind the scenes of him going on tour doing so it
- 1:36:25is a podcast. But Jason Bateman, it's so and Will what's his name,
- 1:36:31Will funny Man? I don't know. Uh, well, he's the
- 1:36:35guy. No, he's the guy from He's one of the funniest people I've
- 1:36:42ever seen. But they don't they're always in care like they're just there.
- 1:36:44They don't even care. They're bas his his story about going to rehab for
- 1:36:48Rose. No. So, he's an alcoholic on Rose and it's the hard
- 1:36:56when you're driving around. It was just Rose when you're driving around this listen
- 1:37:00to SmartLess podcast. That one's good. But then, yeah, you watched
- 1:37:01the show if you're at home, but like, like I can't wait to
- 1:37:03get home. The podcast is hilarious and it's all they interview, Like the
- 1:37:08whole theme and thing is like they bring on a mystery guests and the mister
- 1:37:11guests always some high powered Hollywood person but each So like if if if each
- 1:37:15week you said it's your week, Doug, and you came in like I
- 1:37:18brought somebody, and then fucking Tom Cruise walked in and sat down, and
- 1:37:23then next week you you had Martin Squiskazy and Sack Gates and you was saying,
- 1:37:30but like, that's how it is. Every week, somebody's responsible for
- 1:37:32acquiring the guests, but none of the other people know who the guests is,
- 1:37:35so you can't prep your question. That would be the closest I would
- 1:37:42get to Steven Spielberg, some guy from behind the Circle k and Spielkirk.
- 1:37:48So, so I was watching this last night. I got eight minutes in.
- 1:37:53I goes like, Sarah would like this. US like, Sarah,
- 1:37:55you gotta go watch, and I oversold it. I think she kind of
- 1:37:58liked it. The first ten minutes is just like these guys, they're not
- 1:38:02even trying to be funny. I think you have to understand the Like personally,
- 1:38:05me and my wife had listened to the podcast a lot, and so
- 1:38:10like when I saw my wife watching and she I was like, oh shit,
- 1:38:12I would really like to see this. But she's been watching it without
- 1:38:14me, so I'm gonna have to do it. I'm on and I don't
- 1:38:15have that much time for TV. Sot. We'll see oh like three different
- 1:38:20shops, like forty different forty dozen flies right now. So there's not a
- 1:38:24lot of TV watching. They goes on podcast listening. We should have told
- 1:38:27your cousin he's about to fly, like he could have got me some mail.
- 1:38:31He could have got me some mail. So let's let's let's turn off
- 1:38:34the turtle box. We're turning off the turtle box audio ambient. I'm gonna
- 1:38:40miss the turtle we're bringing back. We're gonna slide into a commercial. Hey,
- 1:38:44what was that record company had? The logo was a turtle? What?
- 1:38:48Oh yeah, it was a turtle record from the eighties, eighties from
- 1:38:53the Let me have some more that frigate. I'm only three hours, that's
- 1:39:04all I heard. I'm not even gonna play the two and a half minute
- 1:39:06one. That seems like we said we've had enough to that. So all
- 1:39:12right, I'm gonna play another commercial. We're gonna go into break and come
- 1:39:15right back for okay, So yep, it's starting to get weird. All
- 1:39:19right, here we go. We're down here at Dan's target Farm down here
- 1:39:27in Flamingo. Now we will not be undersold. If you want to got
- 1:39:30him tarpen, we'll get you a tarping. We got one acre lot full
- 1:39:35of damn tarpan. If you want a ten pounder or two hundred pounder,
- 1:39:39we got him for you. Just come on down to Deny's tarpan farm.
- 1:39:43Twenty dollars for tarping a little more expensive during the tarpan turney week, but
- 1:39:47we're here for you. Just come on down this Saturday. Evan brothers will
- 1:39:53be signing on a graph. Happy to have you and come on down to
- 1:39:56Dani's tarking far. Hello, they're barely live listeners. Have you ever had
- 1:40:18that morning headed to the water and you stopped to get ice and realize,
- 1:40:21oh no, I left my cooler at home. I have you have?
- 1:40:26And so what do you do? You run into the store and you grab
- 1:40:30the ice Master ice Master styrofoam grocery store cooler. Ice Master. That's the
- 1:40:35cooler for that day. The ice Master cooler will keep your ice cold for
- 1:40:42two maybe three hours, but by the time your beer gets warm, you
- 1:40:46won't care anymore. Two hours ice Master coolers. They're the cooler for that
- 1:40:53day, Ice Master five thousand. Yeah, okay, we do it,
- 1:41:15dude, gay welcome back. That was the Icebaster five thousand. We're a
- 1:41:20huge, huge, huge, huge supporter of that. Yeah. So apparently
- 1:41:27our rum game top notch, like high end, like nice rum uh speaker
- 1:41:32game on point can't beat the turtle box there it is that speaker game coming
- 1:41:40through right behind you. That turtle box has got pots. And then I
- 1:41:44heard there's a few competitors out there on that turtle box. Well case I
- 1:41:46can tell you about that. But then then our sunglass game, but he
- 1:41:50know all the white baby all the way nat Shell Big Turtle is like it's
- 1:41:57acoustically centered. Yeah. So the thing is like the one thing we lack
- 1:42:02is uh cooler cooler technology. But you know what, those stour from coolers
- 1:42:06have saved many a day on the water for many of them. It's kind
- 1:42:09of feeling that we've known some people. I think I want to tell you
- 1:42:13real quick, Um, can I tell a story about a star so that
- 1:42:17we all have a good star. So I'm gonna drink this rum. Yeah,
- 1:42:21go ahead, good Back in the day down to Beaufort Uh, it
- 1:42:26used to be a really good kobe run come up in the river. And
- 1:42:28there's still our kobe that come in the river doing not like me think you
- 1:42:30it's like some dinosaur story where they've been extinct. They are not. However,
- 1:42:34the run is not what it used to be. And maybe I'm part
- 1:42:38of that problem because we didn't know no better back in those days. But
- 1:42:43a long time ago, far far away, we used to go. Every
- 1:42:45once a while, we'd sit and soak bait for kobea in the river,
- 1:42:47in the Broad River down to Bufort. So in order to take all the
- 1:42:51chum that you needed to make a good chump slick to get those koba to
- 1:42:55you, we would buy the gas station coolers right the stour from Coolers Master
- 1:43:00five thousand cooler and we'd pack it full of chum. Then we'd use the
- 1:43:03chump and we'd just throw the cooler away at the end of the day,
- 1:43:05right, because you don't want to stain up your good coolers with the chump.
- 1:43:09Sure. Well, I went fishing with my buddy and he had ibs.
- 1:43:12I don't know if you know what that is, but if you do,
- 1:43:14look it up. Um, and we were sitting Now, in these
- 1:43:17days, you lined up at the bridge and you were within talking distance of
- 1:43:21the boat next to you, because guys would just like sit. And it
- 1:43:24was John Irwin Broad Yeah, and John Irwin, a very popular, very
- 1:43:30well known guide here was sitting with clients right next to us. And it
- 1:43:33was me and Ben Floyd and man who will not be mentioned with IBS,
- 1:43:38and we are fishing for the day under the bridge. We caught five kobe
- 1:43:42that day. We killed two of them. However, at some point IBS
- 1:43:45took over and our friend ended up having to take a crap in one of
- 1:43:51the disposable coolers on the bow of the boat within like talking to because it
- 1:43:58was the only place that we didn't want to be near him, so we
- 1:44:00were in the back fishing. So he went up to the bow in front
- 1:44:02of the console and like just sat down. He was down in the boat.
- 1:44:04He wasn't up on the day, but he was like still sitting there
- 1:44:08like just able to have a conversation like we're having right now with John Irwin,
- 1:44:12and everyone's trying not to make eye contact, and he's making animal noises
- 1:44:16up there. Just that's a perfectly fine to destroyed that cooler we made him.
- 1:44:21As soon as we got back to the sustainable. We got back to
- 1:44:24the dock, we're like, all right, first off, grab that and
- 1:44:27you're taking it to the dumpster that was at the rainbow. Made him carried
- 1:44:31up there. No, it's it's funny, he said it because most stari
- 1:44:34from coolers that you would find in the Broad River, and you would chum
- 1:44:38those. I would show up. You know, I've heard him. I've
- 1:44:42heard a story. It might be mythical, but I remember hearing a story
- 1:44:45about John irwhen and he had a female climb on the boat and she wouldn't
- 1:44:48rull boat. That is an urban legend. It's not John Irwin. And
- 1:44:54it was every guy. Every guy, every guy has a story about the
- 1:45:00female. Flint said, I have to use the bathroom and use a lot
- 1:45:02well and they take a shit like I will. I will promise you,
- 1:45:09I will tell you this. I will tell you this. John Erewen did
- 1:45:14have a guy one time in Bufort story. John Ewen did have a guy
- 1:45:18one time in Beaufort and they were going back to the rant. They were
- 1:45:20on the way done heard he ran across the water well. This guy was
- 1:45:24like sitting on about like sitting on the jump seat front John's console and he
- 1:45:28leans back and he's big, guys, John says, he's like three hundred
- 1:45:30pounds and he leans back. He's like, John, I got use bathroom.
- 1:45:32He's like, man, we're almost back where we were going fast with
- 1:45:34Cam will be back in the man and he is like, I don't think
- 1:45:38you understand. And he's like, I can't do anything for you. We're
- 1:45:42almost back, and he said that the sick thing. He goes, I'm
- 1:45:44sorry John, and just dove out of the boat at full tilt, like
- 1:45:47just full plane, just like I can't take it, and just went over
- 1:45:53the side. And you know, Irwin kills the engine like swings around and
- 1:45:57a guy does his business. But then the guy ways three hundred pounds.
- 1:46:00Now they're they're over Lemon. Was a Lemon Island ramp. Yeah, it's
- 1:46:03on the coastal Watcher or whatever the hell the river is there, Cloissa Hatching,
- 1:46:06I think is what it. So they're on Lemon Island, so he
- 1:46:10can see the ramp, but it's still a ways up the river and he's
- 1:46:13like, they can't get this guy back in the boat because he's too heavy.
- 1:46:15And then there's no steps on flatboats, so he can't get him in.
- 1:46:18So John's just hang on to the side. So they just drug him
- 1:46:21back to the ramp and then had him swim up and walk up the boat.
- 1:46:25Ram. Oh, this is qualified caption. Chick. Imagine that it's
- 1:46:30been a hell of a day. That one I know is true. But
- 1:46:34the one about the woman peeing and like needs they think they need to pee
- 1:46:39in and then maybe we're gonna have to do that. We need to do
- 1:46:43that anyway. But yeah, I could swear he told me that was the
- 1:46:45real story. He might he might have happened. But I'm telling you every
- 1:46:48captain in the history captain has it, and it's usually alive. Well,
- 1:46:50and then they usually have a chick. He's getting him on the next he'll
- 1:46:56do. And we talked about his farm and all the shit, and he's
- 1:46:58been around here forever. Good, that'll be a good one. I'll be
- 1:47:00good. All right. Well, we gotta got a record. But yeah,
- 1:47:04well let's get a whole case one. You already, Jesus Christ,
- 1:47:08I'll go get him. He's back there. Work all right. Let me
- 1:47:10turn down the turn box sound stage. That's a hell of a Nightcap where
- 1:47:14right there we gods let's side. Well, hello, there may live fans.
- 1:47:40It's your favorite guy? Is that my themes a? I'm still going?
- 1:47:43I thought? Is that? Hey? What that over there playing on
- 1:47:46the dud? It's called production? Like, I don't know what just producting,
- 1:47:53poor quality, non quality and there? What do you What do you
- 1:47:58pay for Richard? You pay for a good production guy for this or what?
- 1:48:01I don't pay for nothing? You know that, Paul. I do
- 1:48:03everything I can to avoid paying for things like like you the bank of money
- 1:48:08too, Huh. I don't know about oh anybody money, but you know
- 1:48:13me. Maybe I'm a little behind on some payments. But no, I'm
- 1:48:16not trying to make my business. I just heard something earlier. You'd like
- 1:48:19it getting up being my ship. But okay, so hey Richard, we'll
- 1:48:24say I'm excited, yo. What's because I've been seeing some stuff on your
- 1:48:28Instagram. You've been thrown out some teasers of what told you lie been working
- 1:48:33on some stuff? Yeah, come on, Like, first off, I
- 1:48:38want to introduce you to this product guy here. It's so you got what
- 1:48:43do you got? It's called the tortoise cube. Okay, so basically nature
- 1:48:48has provided to post the perfect acoustic uh accouterment to any speaker that you would
- 1:48:55like to do any of the tortoise. Now let me tell you back back,
- 1:48:57hold on, yeah, like the tortoise, like the turtle that on
- 1:49:01in his own land and speaker. Yeah, so listen. Well, they're
- 1:49:04actually amphibious. I don't know if you know it's about I don't know if
- 1:49:09you noticed. But for a whole while I lived in Central Florida with my
- 1:49:12mama when I was the baby, and my mama had a gopher tourtia.
- 1:49:15It's just like turtle box. There's already you a product called don't talk to
- 1:49:17me about that blasphemous plastic thing over there. Okay, we're gonna talk about
- 1:49:21that later. Hell of a speaker. So my mama, he lived,
- 1:49:24She lived in Central Florida, and she lived and she had a gopher tortoise
- 1:49:30in the backyard, right and she knows that told she fed him all the
- 1:49:32lettis and the carrots and left over from the dinner. And well, one
- 1:49:35day that tourtis died and that and my mama didn't want the tourist go away,
- 1:49:40so she asked me that if I could preserve him you know as it
- 1:49:43were. Okay in those days, my taxiderma skills were not quite up to
- 1:49:47paw, so it didn't work out. So I was left with a perfectly
- 1:49:51good gopher tortise there. Well. One day, well, hanging out in
- 1:49:55the grass, I said a little too close through my speakers over in the
- 1:49:58corner, and it amplify. I could hear. Was like being in the
- 1:50:00stadium with your kid. Oh, it was like being front stage Dave Matthews
- 1:50:05concert with everybody getting stung by bees. It was the best thing you've ever
- 1:50:09thing. And I realized right then that that tortoiseeshell was the perfect acoustic amplifier.
- 1:50:17So I tore the speakers out of my nineteen ninety eight needs on maximum,
- 1:50:24I took two tweeters. Yeah, it was beautiful, and then I
- 1:50:29wired them in there and it was beautiful. Now it's our waterproofer there.
- 1:50:33Buddy knows tortoise swim, but it is amazing. So I've been working on
- 1:50:39that idea a little bit over the year. It's not really a portable device.
- 1:50:42It's more like this black How much more portable can it get? Now?
- 1:50:45With new battery text I have been able to replace the hard wire with
- 1:50:51lithium batterism thoughts that I've stolen out of Tesla's. When they're all looking and
- 1:50:56and and and and you can get a pretty good system. The one on
- 1:51:00now, the waterproof thing is distouraging. So I've been working on a new
- 1:51:02one that I call the longerhead lunch pail. Now, the longerhead lunch pails
- 1:51:08made from real longerhead hills that I get from down The risk is it's only
- 1:51:13from the ones that don't make it. Okay, what are they gonna do
- 1:51:15with the shells? They just throw them out back. And so anyway,
- 1:51:18all of my products are completely bid agreeable, made out of real tortoise and
- 1:51:24do a longerhead hills and and then I just wired the speakers in there,
- 1:51:28you know, a lot of hot glue and shit. Did it work?
- 1:51:30Do you have any like just customer like early customer? Yeah, I do.
- 1:51:33I've got I've got Jimmy, Jimmy from the Circle K. Where's he
- 1:51:39here, Jimmy, Come tell him how good this sounds? Hey? I
- 1:51:41brought him in? Is that okay? Hey? Richard? Hey, Hey
- 1:51:44Richard. So I've got I've got the tell them about the sound acoustic quit
- 1:51:48I've got the tortoise shell. What are you calling it? Totis tortoise cube,
- 1:51:54tortoise cube because it's shaped like it blows my damn socks off a lot.
- 1:52:00We don't have shoes, so we over wear socks. Jb Ill Record

- 1:52:29on board. You don't put a little money in the body. Yeah,
- 1:52:31we actually already have a company that's making it. Turtle box. Yeah,
- 1:52:39crazy, what does that take. It's a speaker, it's it's made out

- 1:55:30McMurtry, Carmick McCarthy, No, Core McMurtry. Oh my god. Um,
- 1:55:35dear Richard, Um, I like to fish in the keys a lot,
- 1:55:41and was just curious if you ever dealt with any thing like dealing with
- 1:55:46any other GUIDs on the boat down there or whenever you're fishing. Well,
- 1:55:49See, the thing is what I've realized most of the time, the guys
- 1:55:54down there, they're really only mad at like tourists, theo they thing that
- 1:55:58don't belong. But there's like a fine line, right, Like it's like
- 1:56:02road rage. Who are you gonna yell at? You? Are you gonna
- 1:56:06yell at the fifty year old Paul guy in the moth of me out of
- 1:56:10that cut you off? Or the guy with the kind of too long beard
- 1:56:15in the jacked up truck that most definitely has guns. Which one are you
- 1:56:18gonna yell at? Right though? I'm totally falling out. So I come
- 1:56:21in with my tortoise cube blasting ac DC. I got my I got my
- 1:56:29ninety eight tord t shirt on on the bow, and I got a fly
- 1:56:31rod and a shotgun another hand. Ain't nobody ever mess with me? I
- 1:56:35stared down Rob Fortis to his face in the bowling alley, and well,
- 1:56:42I didn't catch a tarpin but marble lights, right, mar bars, yeah,
- 1:56:46gpcesar senecas or whatever I can get at the time. Let's be real.
- 1:56:53The point is, Paul, it's about perception. M I don't give
- 1:56:58off the vibe of fuck with Richard. That's true. That is true.
- 1:57:01Well, Richard, we appreciate it, buddy. I love you, boy,
- 1:57:05Doug, you got anything for Richard? Hey, I noticed the other
- 1:57:09day when I'm thinking here, behind one of them ladies that was leaving from
- 1:57:12her office and have showers than you. You think they'd be cool if I
- 1:57:15don't know, took a shower. That's fine. I'll just I'm gonna be
- 1:57:18in the showers on the album. I'll leave you my key, I'll leave
- 1:57:21you. Yeah, just leave it do I lock it up real time.
- 1:57:25I won't make any copies. That's that's all. Sho that was. That
- 1:57:47was violent? Yeah, okay, So but he's making Mike, did you
- 1:57:54hear about the h I was the tortous shell box or something he's making?
- 1:57:59Yeah, said instance, we get turtle box and he's making an audio box
- 1:58:02made a real turtle. You know though, like it'd be pretty cool to
- 1:58:06have a I mean all right, look, I'm all about conservation now.
- 1:58:11We'll never kill an animal. Let's just be real. But how badass would
- 1:58:15it beat? It is? Have a speaker in the true like in your
- 1:58:17car, you t would like a kicker. Yeah, there's something that's inherently
- 1:58:30cool. It'd be pretty cool listening up. Funny story about turtle shells that
- 1:58:34that me and Tucker was in the Bahamas one time and he bought a turtle
- 1:58:39shell off of a dude green turtle. Well, yeah, and it was
- 1:58:42like lacquered and everything, which they're illegal in the United States. You can't
- 1:58:45bring her home. So, uh, that trip, we didn't take a
- 1:58:49boat over to this day, we so he flew over, so he didn't
- 1:58:53bring it back because he couldn't because they're allowed in states. So to this
- 1:58:58day, that turtleshelle is still sitting beminy. I know where it is.
- 1:59:00I know that's Oh, it's in a house that's a friend, a friend's
- 1:59:04house, Like it's never gonna leave. Yeah, but Tucker owns a turtle
- 1:59:09show. I've yet to smuggle because I've gone or twice with boats and I
- 1:59:13just forgot about it. I'll leave it at this. Have y'all ever eaten
- 1:59:15turtle? Uh? Snapping turtlets? I never had. I never had for
- 1:59:20those those guys. I remember eight sea turtle. I've ate snapping turtles.
- 1:59:27Yeah, they don't advertise that they eat it, but I think they eat
- 1:59:29it. Yeah, there are a lot of yards. Chris Sparrow my buddy
- 1:59:34from a Gusta. He was he was a property manager when you first started
- 1:59:39out in real estate. Okay, the worst callie ever got was too an
- 1:59:43apartment complex that somebody had abandoned an apartment in it and they found an eighty
- 1:59:49pounds snapping turtle in the bathroom. Oh god, trying to clean it out.
- 1:59:54Why the fun would someone keep it that? So here's the thing.
- 1:59:56If we're gonna eat it, if you keep if you kill it, all
- 1:59:59right. So look, if you want to eat to snapping turtle, you
- 2:00:00can't just take him out of the wherever the fuck you catch him and eat
- 2:00:02him. You have to put him in a tank somewhere for a week,
- 2:00:06two weeks, month, whatever, feed him fresh fruits and vegetables whatever,
- 2:00:10like like a pet. I'm not. You have to clean them out and
- 2:00:14so like officially got you feed him like good clean food. You change the
- 2:00:18water constantly, and you basically clean their system out of all the shit that
- 2:00:23they eat when they live, and they basically you farm it. Yeah,
- 2:00:26you get it nice and cleaned out, then you kill it, then you
- 2:00:28eat it. You don't eat him fresh out the river. That's how you
- 2:00:30do. You ask me. Their mating call sounds like a nail gun.
- 2:00:35Well they're snapping it. Yeah, in certain there are communities in Louisiana.
- 2:00:42Promise you people shooting nail guns, building houses, really snapping turtles will come
- 2:00:48to it were they like they will. They will actually come to a nail
- 2:00:51gun thinking as a mating call. True story. This has been Yeah,
- 2:00:58this is Lewis. I could do either. Man. I'm just gonna eat
- 2:01:04chips to drink beer. I'm not gonna actually eat food, so I don't
