WEBVTT - Ep. 91: Bear Grease [Render] - Mud and Foggy Newcomb, Elvis and Tecumseh 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:16.560 Yeah, my name is Clay and Nukeleman. This is a 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:20.160 production of the bear Grease podcast called the Bear Grease 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:24.919 Render where we render down, dive deeper, and look behind 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:29.960 the scenes of the actual bear Grease podcast, presented by 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:35.000 f HF Gear, American made purpose built hunting and fishing 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.519 gear that's designed to be as rugged as the places 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:48.680 we explore. I'm like, you say something announcement Grease Podcast. 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:52.599 I think it would be appropriate to describe our external 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:57.400 environment today when I walked, when I took the long 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:02.720 track from our house and see the World Headquarters or 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:08.160 also known as me Either South Um. I it was slick, 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:12.800 there was active sleep, ice fawling, and for Arkansas, you know, 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.679 it takes about well none of that for us to 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.960 cancel today bright and early, because yeah, because it was 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:21.800 misty outside, and I thought it was a good call. 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:28.680 It's a misty in here, oh, I think, And so 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:34.360 it was. It's just really, really, really bad, bad icy weather. 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.160 I just came back from Mexico last week and when 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.000 I got home from Mexico, on the way home, there 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:48.800 was like six inches of snow. It was we were 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:53.640 at six thousand feet elevation in Mexico, freezing cold. Luckily 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.640 Clay read like a part of the memo and brought 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.760 a jacket. Like you know, it's almost one of those 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:00.960 deals where it's like I don't need that much clothing, 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.640 but I did very cold, So I came home to 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.440 bad weather and life statement for Class six seven, eight 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:12.000 days later. It's like very icy right now. So a 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:13.720 lot of I've been a lot of places with the 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.680 Newcombs where some member of their family didn't have a 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:27.240 coat jacket. It's yeah, partly why we have such an 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.040 eclectic group of people. You've heard a few voices that 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.079 you wouldn't have recognized, and you've not heard some voices 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.120 that are typically here.

I'm kind of 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.880 an architect myself, Jessica, as you know, care do you 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.960 remember when we built this office, I said that this 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.560 was going to be a celebration of architecture. Do you 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:11.440 remember that it's coming back. This wasn't just going to 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.960 be a building. It was gonna be a celebration of architecture. 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:18.760 But um, so funny story about Jessica that I heard 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.839 her telling yesterday was that when she was in college, 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:23.960 Is okay if I tell this story when she was 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.640 in college, When she was in college at her house, 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.880 they hosted a band that came and played a concert 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.760 in her house and the dude set his symbols on fire. 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.359 In her house was that same living room that I 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.080 first hung out with Misty. This house was legendary in 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:41.800 Fayetbelle at the time. By the way, and it was 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.960 not once that we had a band play. It was 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.839 like it was like a concert video. This is the 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:51.279 days before cell phones and smartphones, and in those days, 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.920 you would chalk the sidewalk. You'd write stuff on the sidewalk. 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.320 If you want people to show up with chalk and 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:01.680 outside your house, well yeah, tell them what we could. 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:03.920 You didn't even have to say the address. People knew 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.960 this house. It was nicknamed the Slacker House when I 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:12.320 lived there. We were not slackers people that lived, but 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.360 the house is known as the slacker house. So we 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.800 can literally but on the sidewalk Slacker House Friday night, 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.480 eight p m. In the band name, and people show 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.880 up and watch bands. So fun. So how did they 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.840 light their symbols on fire in your living room? Um? 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.560 Gel that you put on it? If I remember that, 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:33.880 you kind of smear on it and then you can 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.000 light it on fire. Um yeah, you know. I'm kind 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:43.200 of big into like sensational ways attention. I'm thinking about burning, 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.880 like like going on a squirrel hunt and like lighten 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:51.920 my saddle on or flaming arrows, flaming flaming arrows. I'm 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.560 talking just okay, I'll see what I can find out, 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.600 so you can also just order fajitas at the Mexican. 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.560 Our final guest and certainly not least guests who's been 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:10.560 here before.

I remember Spence's last name was Spence, 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:57.560 and they looked at me and they said his mom 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:03.320 named him Spence. Tell me about the what you're wearing 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.760 around your neck, this whole thing I forgot to have 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:13.400 it on. Whatever. Yeah, it's a Grand Champion Rooster call 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.120 medal I won a couple of weeks ago to Dallas 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:24.360 at the at the American Pastured Poultry Producers Association p Yeah. There. Uh, 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:30.480 they had a big conference about three fifty farmers and well, 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.600 I mean, you gotta let's here. I would I would 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:36.040 blow out every microphone on this. Oh it's okay, do it. Yeah, 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.680 clearly you didn't even move it if you wanted to know. Okay, 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.360 don't don't full force, yea, turn it up just a 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:43.920 little bit. Turn it up just a little bit. My 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.800 voice is he's got to stand up to get this out. 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:52.679 You go, okay, excuse me, Well, okay, we're filming now. 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.600 I was doing it earlier on top of the holler 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:59.400 with my dog scaring vultures. Okay. And he really likes that. 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:13.560 Some I've voice is a little blown out. I'm assuming 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:19.319 they they they liked loudness over over like there is 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:23.440 technical nuance. There's a fellow Christian Alexander. He can turn 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.000 your mic down just a little bit. There, here's a 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.440 fellow Christian Alexander. He's a farmer in North California. And 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.920 he came out and he called and everybody sat down right, 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.760 and uh, what I did? I couldn't compete with that, 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.560 but there were multiple you could do multiple calls. So 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:42.920 I just did a barrage of mediocre calls and got 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.600 my score up. So I did like a turkey hen gobble, 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.760 like the little that turkeys did, you know. I did 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.120 a poultry predator, an owl and a crow, and there 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.920 you go, and I got my score up to take 0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:00.520 them down. Okay, so our suns play basket all together, 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:07.720 Spencing and when when when either of the boys score, 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.560 I will ol hoot from the stand and Spence will 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:16.600 crow call. And it's our goal that one day when 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.400 the boys score on their team, the whole stadium al hoots. 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.160 I mean, that's my goal. Anyway, it happened. We were 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.719 in a really rural school district, if you remember, and 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.839 we we we were making our calls and someone from 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:37.480 the other side, I'm just saying, like, I love it. 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.120 It's wonderful. One of the things that I We are 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:44.120 playing for a new team this year, and it's I'm 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:51.120 a little concerned that they're embarrassed up. I guess what 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:56.720 the kids kids from down here, their dads are probably 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:01.679 going crow colle It is what it is, um misty, 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:06.360 Why don't you read okay, so I I get, you know, 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.920 like updates if if someone in our family hits the papers, 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.280 like I have this this setting where it will send 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:19.880 me okay the interwet um. It's a setting on Google, 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.360 so someone if someone's in the news or something, I'm 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.679 gonna alert so I can see pictures and stuff like that. Well, 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.880 I've got Clay's name on there, and so I got 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.920 an update that Clay Newcombe and Missy Newcombe were in 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:41.520 the papers. Um or um, it's on the Internet. I 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:46.080 quickly realized that what I was looking at was an 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.959 AI product, artificial intelligence. And so for people who don't know, 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:56.280 there are these new newly created robots, recently created robots 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.000 who go around and it's clear that what they do 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.480 is they pull art calls from all over the Internet 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:05.920 and they make like summarizations of those articles. But they 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.000 don't want to plague your eze and so do not 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.160 plage your eyes. Even though some would say this is 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.439 still plagiarizing. They just swap out some of the keywords. 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:20.280 So basically, it's a full article that has article that 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:24.560 was a bio about me and Misty and go ahead 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.960 and read it. And it starts with and it starts 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:36.199 with mud Neucrom grew up and was launched up inside 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.840 the Washita Mountains as a seventh interval Arkans. And already 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.480 I'm like, where on nerves did this article stem from? 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:50.680 What translation? He's a tracker, Donkey Skinner, naturalist and provincial 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:55.960 social spectator. Let's stop right there.

Now your connections to hunting, well, 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:00.600 I should probably confess I've never hunted a little bit 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.160 when I was a kid, but I hooked my brother 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:04.840 one time and then no more, no more fishing after that. 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:09.399 But I very much enjoy a grow grip and family 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:15.080 that dad brothers, and Um, I reaped the benefits of 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.800 having family and friends that are huntered. Like I was 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.919 telling some friends at work, um, this morning that in 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:23.960 my freezer right now, I have moose meat, I have 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.560 buffalo meat, I have dear meat, I have chicken.

So I grew 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.040 up in Central Arkansas. There was a guy who was 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:53.840 a singer in the seventies in Central Arkansas, and my 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.720 dad was learning to do tile, like for bathrooms and kitchens, 0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:59.760 and he was working on that guy's house and Elvis 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:02.159 came to hang out, and Elvis would like just go 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:06.480 sit like on the toilet with a little close with 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:12.800 Elvis lived in Memphis, yea and hour and a half 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:19.280 from where h and so then you know, apparently, uh, 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.560 this was when my dad was young, probably still in 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.399 high school, and Elvis and this other guy were probably 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.040 in their thirties, and they my dad was always in 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:28.560 the cool cars. He had a cool car. And then 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.359 and they convinced my dad to take them cruising downtown 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:35.760 so they could drink and wave it girls from the 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:40.800 back team. Yeah. Yeah. And then later on my dad 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.720 was racing boats at a lake in central Arkansas. He 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:45.520 did this regularly and it was kind of a big 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:47.440 deal back then, and Elvis would be the m C 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:50.919 or a special guests or whatever, and he before it started, 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.080 he'd find my dad and say hi, and then he'd 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:54.439 be like, I gotta get out of here, there's too 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:57.720 many people and go back to the you know where 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:02.520 the cool kids go. I'm big into Elvis now, Josh, 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.560 when did this happen? It's about two or three weeks ago. 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:10.160 Is there going to be a podcast the next series? Yeah, there's. 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:15.320 There's actually a great quote by Ted Nugent about Elvis Presto. 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.040 He said he said, if Elvis had just been bloody 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:21.520 up to the elbows about once a year, he'd still 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:25.600 be alive. Remember that, because because he wouldn't have needed 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:29.560 all the drugs him he had got a natural high. Jessica, 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:34.920 I believe it. Elvis.
