He doesn't like that stuff because 52 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: there's something done to that that's not done to the jarred, 53 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: sealed or refrigerated lard. He and he's not like a 54 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: fussy he's not a fussy man. He doesn't have all 55 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: these rules about things he doesn't understand, you know, like 56 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: rules for no reason, big good name of a book, 57 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: rules for no reason. So he doesn't have a bunch 58 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: of rules that you ask him a bunch of questions about. 59 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: It winds up being he doesn't know what he's talking about. 60 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: I just trust him. Generally, and he doesn't like that 61 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: kind of lard. He likes the stuff like in a 62 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: in a jar, the refrigerated or sealed lard. And it 63 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: has something to do with some treatment they do it. 64 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: It makes that you can put it on your shelf 65 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: for eighteen years, not sealed, and nothing bad happens to it. 66 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: He likes unstabilized. Lord, now you talking, I've got a question. 67 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: So lard is from swine from a pig. It's rendered 68 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: fat from a pig, though right from generally they use 69 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: it because it's tallow as beef and lard as pork. 70 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: But I don't know how etched and stolen that is? 71 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: Gotch and grease is bear um, you know the pioneers, 72 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: they would make you. Have you ever eaten a crackling? Yes, okay, 73 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: pork like pork skin right, No, you'd be bear cracklings 74 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: kind of yeah. They would render the lard and out 75 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: of the cracklings, they would cut them up in little 76 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: chunks and if you really got one special, have a 77 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: little bit of meat left on it. Though. That was 78 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: like from my my grandparents on my mother's side, they 79 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: would have a big hulk killing. You know, I told 80 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: you about the hull killing pole that had like eight 81 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: coons hanging from it. That my cousin Tim, he's got 82 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: the picture of that. Gotta get him. I gotta get 83 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: a copy of that thing. But I can remember as 84 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: a kid, they would be rendering lard out there from cracklings. 85 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: They have like a press two two boards together. Uh, 86 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: they wrap it in cheesecloth, get the get the cracklings, 87 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: and then they would squeeze it and squeeze all the 88 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: lard out and and jarred up or whatever. I don't 89 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: know what my grandma did there. And then they would 90 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: use the cracklings to make crackling corn bread. Um. Some 91 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: people would feed them to their dogs, but they would 92 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: get two products. You know, nothing was wasted from the hog, 93 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: but the squeal. Everything else went to use somewhere down 94 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: the line. Do you know the old term for what 95 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: you might now call the pantry used to be called 96 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: a what m hmm? You scratch beard all day long? 97 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 1: The larder that's cract deal. Scratch your beard. Actually helped 98 00:05:53,120 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: scratches beard. And the minute he did like two strokes, 99 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: the answer came spitting out of him. The larger Because 100 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: you can create an anaerobic environment. This is what Confie is. 101 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: You can when you take meat cooked meats and put 102 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: him in lard, you create an anaerobic environment, right, the 103 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: oxygen and oxygen free environment when it's encased and large. 104 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: So the larder was where you would store non refrigerated 105 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: foods encased and lard to prevent spoilage, to greatly delay spoilage. 106 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: So why are people listening to this show man? Because 107 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: you learn about all this stuff with lard. I learned 108 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: that just right now, Steve two of us.

But we were coming, and he the raccoons 191 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: surely aware of us as well. He's probably like that 192 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: is well, first of all, that's one really unlucky raccoon 193 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: just taking a nap, and then all of a sudden, 194 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: here comes Steve Ranella's crew just right under his tree. 195 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: Because dogs, yeah, yeah, man, that's an unlike.

Let's get everybody agreed 341 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: for what. The whole country came together around the idea 342 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: that someone needs to shoot that spy balloon down. Yea, 343 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: and he says, it hasn't been since nine to eleven. 344 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: Everybody's been so united. Yeah, everybody when to shoot it down. 345 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: But everybody in the country wanted to shoot that balloon down. 346 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: It really did bring us together. My favorite thing that 347 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 1: I was telling you Steve the other day, my favorite 348 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: thing that came out of that spy balloon was a 349 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: like a meme photo. It said, Uh, so funny.

It was like a from the 354 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: spy balloon over Iowa. And it was like a picture 355 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: of this big, old sunburned dude in his pool throwing 356 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: a couple of beer bottles up in the air at it, 357 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: and his wife was right next to him kind of. 358 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if she was like flipping them off 359 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: or doing the same thing, but it was great. There's 360 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: a lot of good memes that came out. I don't 361 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 1: traffic a memes. Didn't seeing him. I like hearing about him. 362 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: I don't want to look at him. Here's an interesting 363 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: thing I was recently. I had a whole conversation with 364 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: my friend Jason about this where I was all fired 365 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: up about reporting around this whole. If you go back 366 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: and listen to the episode we have called Screwed from 367 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: the Right Screwed from the Left a couple episodes ago, 368 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: I went on a real tear about some things that 369 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: the Obama administration had done to usurp Alaska's Management authority 370 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: of Wild Game or of wildlife, and then Trump undoing 371 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: the usurpation and the Biden administration threatening to redo the 372 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: usurpation and this whole thing. And I was talking with 373 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: my friend Jason about how when you read an article, 374 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: when you read, like a mainstream media article about a 375 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 1: subject you know, well, you realize all the ways that 376 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: the reporter doesn't understand the issue, or is obfuscating the issue, 377 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: or is screwing it up. Okay. But then you read 378 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: another article about something you know nothing about, and you 379 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: feel thankful that the article exists because here you just 380 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: learned all this stuff. But how do you reconcile the 381 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: feeling of reading an article that you know a lot about. 382 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: Like if I read an article in the New York 383 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: Times about wild the wild horse issue, the whole article, 384 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, that's not right, 385 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: that's wrong. Okay. But then you know, you read an 386 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: article about something else, You're like, oh, what a great 387 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: piece of reporting. There's actually a thing. There's a word 388 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: gel gell gel Man amnesia. Okay, in a nutshell, gel 389 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: Man amnesia is here. I'm reading from a definition of 390 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: Gelman amnesia. Briefly, state of the Gelman amnesia effect is 391 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,959 Speaker 1: as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on 392 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: some subject you know well, in Murray's case, physics, in 393 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: mind show business. You read the article and see the 394 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or 395 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: the issues. Often articles so wrong it actually presents the 396 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: story backward, reversing cause and effect. I call these wet 397 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: streets caused rain stories. Papers full of them. In any case, 398 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: You read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in 399 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: the story, and then turn the page to national international 400 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: affairs and read as if the rest of the newspaper 401 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the Bologna you 402 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: just read, right, You guys understand what I'm saying. It 403 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: on her absolutely, yeah. So it's a name for it, 404 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: Gelman's Gelman Amnesia. A listener, a very kind listener, wrote 405 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: in He says, I was listening to episode four to 406 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: eleven of the me Eater podcasts and not for the 407 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: first time, I thought Steve needed to be made aware 408 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: of the Gelman amnesia effect. I had no idea it 409 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: had a name. So thank you to Matt. Here's a 410 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: great story.

You know, your ibex hunting 597 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 1: me and Raymond was out scouting around trying to figure 598 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 1: out the blacktail jack rabbbit, the desert cotton tail and stuff. 599 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: And so we were out scouting around and I kind 600 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 1: of knew how you were, so I didn't say nothing 601 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: about hunting this area. And you come in and you 602 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: saw our footprints on there. You said, Kevin, have y'all 603 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 1: been here? I said, we have been here, just scouting around. 604 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 1: Said man, there's plenty of rabbits in there. Says, let's go. 605 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: And so you took us on some death march up 606 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: next to the mountain with my war out knees, and 607 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: I knew that you didn't like to hunt the same 608 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: territory over a rehunt. I rehunt doing a re hunt, 609 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: And what I have found is four rabbits, four rabbits 610 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 1: and squirrels are not only re hunting for squirrels either. Okay, okay, 611 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: you don't like re hunting for small gang, but you're 612 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: re hunt for big games. So we want to do 613 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: a spot and want to do a spot there day 614 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: and got a lot of rabbits out of it. We 615 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: got a lot of rabbits, ran a lot of rabbits, 616 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: shot a lot of rabbits. And then these guys want 617 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 1: to go back to the same spot, and I was like, man, 618 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to do a re hunt. We already 619 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 1: shot all kinds of rabbits out of there, and and 620 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, we're gonna go in there. Take five steps. 621 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,439 Speaker 1: There's a rabbit places, four rabbits, man rabbits or where 622 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: rabbits are, and you've got to find out where they've 623 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: got food protection and briars in there. And that's what 624 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: they had. You know, when we saw rabbit tracks, we 625 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,839 Speaker 1: jumped rabbits. They were in the thickest part of that 626 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,879 Speaker 1: that place, that corridor. I truly believe that they will 627 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,800 Speaker 1: move in if they were on their fringes, all small 628 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: game like squirrels. I mean, there was one place when 629 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: we were we were hunting squirrels on edge of Tennessee's 630 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: probably back in Man. I don't know if my my 631 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,439 Speaker 1: buddies from Alabama and West Virginia were in there. It's 632 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: like Wildcat Holla. It was just cram packed full of squores. 633 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 1: You could go in there and get your limit and 634 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: we would all say, or where are we gonna hunt today? Well, 635 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,280 Speaker 1: we don't know, Well, somebody would end up in Wildcat. 636 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: It got hunted every single day, and every anybody that 637 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: one hunted in every they got twelve squirrels, they would 638 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: just the food was in there or something safety whatever, 639 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: but it just got penalty. You just couldn't kill them out. 640 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 1: You could not kill them out of Wildcat Holler. And 641 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: I see that, you know, I see that once rabbit 642 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: hunting a place and we'd go in there, kill four 643 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: swamp rabbits, let it rest just a little bit, go 644 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 1: back in there. You know. We wouldn't pound the next day, 645 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: but we would go back in there. It's habitat. Man. 646 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: Guy has got the habitat up. He's got weed seed, 647 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: he's got briars, he's got small game corridors where he 648 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 1: has a food plot. Here he has water here, he 649 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: has a shelter belt. He has got it figured out. 650 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: This is what we need. We do not need oceans 651 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: in seas of nothing but native grass in those thick places, 652 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: small game, these rabbits. You look at that and you think, man, 653 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,320 Speaker 1: there's nothing in there. But you look at that stuff. 654 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 1: There may be a little stream or a drain. There's 655 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: four lane highways in these thick places of briars and 656 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: weeds and trees and stuff. A rabbit's gonna run in 657 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 1: places of least resistance. Now in the beginning, he may 658 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: run through some thick stuff, but he's gonna try to escape. 659 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 1: He's gonna take him a rabbit highway. It might be 660 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,319 Speaker 1: a two lane, it may be a four lane. And 661 00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: when you figure those out, when you can read that 662 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: road map a small game, you'll become a better small 663 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: game hunter. Yeah. I truly believe it's a great rabbit 664 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 1: habitat great probably some of the best rabbit hunt I've 665 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,720 Speaker 1: ever seen. It's very good. It is very good. This 666 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,240 Speaker 1: this is laid out. I want even get some quail 667 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 1: up here. There may be winter extremes that freeze to 668 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: quail down. Because we had one back home in seventy seven, 669 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: seventy eight. But more on that line is the pheasants 670 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: that they talk about that they used to kill here. Oh, 671 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 1: that it definitely ain't from here. You know that they 672 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: to talk about pheasants right here that they used to kill. Yeah, 673 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: but that's those are from Asia. Yeah, but they are 674 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: a species that can handle this habitat. But cause the 675 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,439 Speaker 1: glaciers come through here, you're in historic range. We saw that. 676 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 1: I asked, you know, that's where the native not the native, 677 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: but they what do you call call that? But that's 678 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: where the pheasant range was, wherever the glaciers where they 679 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 1: stopped or stole glaciers in Kentucky. We don't have any 680 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 1: any uh any physics act. No, he's you're in. You 681 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: are right now south of Moskegan. You're close to the 682 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:13,839 Speaker 1: historic range of the Northern bobweite Um. And then the 683 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,359 Speaker 1: line now is a bit the line now has moved 684 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: quite a way as south. So you have it. So 685 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 1: you got about so dad, I do that they might 686 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 1: love it. Man, what do you think about doing that? 687 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: Buying a whole ship load of quail and turning them out? Yeah, 688 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 1: but I heard that that's that It never works well 689 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 1: I just said that tune. You were like, well, no, 690 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,399 Speaker 1: but it's got to be wild. They got to get 691 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: We've got to get wild quail. You got to start 692 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 1: catching them. Yes, we got to trade something here in Michigan. 693 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: DNR has got to go somewhere and get some kind 694 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,839 Speaker 1: of quail. Of course, with the bird flu and those 695 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 1: diseases stuff across the state lines and all that stuff, 696 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: you know, but we got to figure out how to 697 00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: get on repat Zucker might need to go vigilante. He 698 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 1: already is. I've seen action. He's a top notch preder 699 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: control guy. He joined my team. I immediately he went 700 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: to the top. He is right there, shoulder to shoulder 701 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 1: with me. Here's here's a good letter. A guy wrote 702 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 1: in We don't need to touch on that. It's great 703 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 1: with here, but here's here's letter a guy wrote in 704 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 1: so New Mexico. Um, I know this first hand because 705 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 1: a good friend of mine, who's who's a wild cattle catcher, 706 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:34,800 Speaker 1: has been doing a bunch of work in New Mexico. 707 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 1: He catches wild cattle with hounddogs. In fact, in fact, 708 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to overshare here. I was on he 709 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,399 Speaker 1: was on this podcast. I want his in I Don't 710 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: Love to Dan YouTube Love the best time in the world. 711 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: You guys would be like blood brother nuts on a dog. 712 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: Blood brothers. You guys would be like yo. You guys 713 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 1: would have a hell of a time. So he was 714 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 1: on this podcast he was talking about his business of 715 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:10,720 Speaker 1: he catches cattle that can't be caught. In his words, 716 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what kind of cowboy, cow punch or 717 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 1: cow catcher you are, you can't do what he can do. Okay. 718 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 1: He uses his lion hounds and has trained as lion 719 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: hounds to bay cattle that can't be caught. So if 720 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 1: you got straight, if you're a rancher and you got 721 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 1: stray cattle and you get stray cattle off or they're 722 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,279 Speaker 1: not supposed to be, they open the wilderness area. Whatever 723 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,840 Speaker 1: you can't get him, he'll get them. You get cattle 724 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 1: that can't be pushed with a helicopter, can't be whatever 725 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,520 Speaker 1: you're trying to clean off wild cattle, so you can 726 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,840 Speaker 1: put cattle on the ground that are tame and catchable. 727 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: He catches wild cattle that's been out there for generations, 728 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,920 Speaker 1: not like a cow that was normal and went wild. 729 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 1: He catches them that were born wild with these dogs. 730 00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 1: I'm all in. He was on the podcast speaking about 731 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,480 Speaker 1: his line of work and wound up giving a bunch 732 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 1: of work down in New Mexico. But the New Mexico 733 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 1: is getting serious about the wild cattle issue. They got 734 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,319 Speaker 1: a plan now to go into the HeLa Wilderness, which 735 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: is tricky because there's certain constraints around what you do wilderness. 736 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: But going into the HeLa Wilderness is a plan in 737 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: place to do helicopter gunning to try to get wild 738 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 1: cattle the HeLa Wilderness. Of a listener wrote in wondering 739 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: about this, he's like, that's all finding good. I'm paraphrasing 740 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 1: that's all fine and good, But why is it not 741 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,560 Speaker 1: part of the plan when they gunned down a wildcattle 742 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 1: to release GPS coordinates of the carcass immediately, Because he's like, 743 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:51,000 Speaker 1: why let all that good beef go to waste? Do 744 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 1: you know for a fact that they let it all 745 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,320 Speaker 1: go to waste? They shoot him and just leave them. 746 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: He wants them to shoot them and an immediately release 747 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,879 Speaker 1: GPS coordinate so that people going there and butcher those 748 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 1: wild cattle and pack up choice cuts. Yeah, I mean, 749 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,839 Speaker 1: yeah it He thinks they should do it during cool weather. 750 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 1: There'd have to be some kind of sign up things. 751 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,959 Speaker 1: So there, you know, get on a list. Back home 752 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 1: in Kentucky, we bring in the gun ships, as I 753 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:23,799 Speaker 1: call them. We've got a wild hog problem. People letting 754 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 1: him lose, thinking there's going to be some kind of 755 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,839 Speaker 1: new sport with their dogs or whatever. And they brought 756 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 1: in a gun ship back in I'm thinking about twenty twelve, 757 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 1: fourteen fifty. I lose track of time anymore. And the 758 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:47,640 Speaker 1: pilot said that was the densest population of wild hogs 759 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 1: that he had ever flown on. They killed like three 760 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty Obion Creek bottoms there. They were going 761 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 1: in destroying the farmer's field. They were just getting like 762 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: on a corn row and just route all the way 763 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 1: down and just eat all the corn seed in there. 764 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: But they killed like three fifty the first year. They 765 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 1: come in late March when the vegetation is at the 766 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:12,600 Speaker 1: thinness where they could see them and yes and shoot them. 767 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,719 Speaker 1: They came back the next year they killed like one 768 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty something, and then they came back the 769 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 1: third year and they killed like thirty two. Then they 770 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,840 Speaker 1: hired a professional trapper to come to come in and 771 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,919 Speaker 1: try to catch those really super smart ones out there. 772 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 1: We have them at LBL right now. They brought in 773 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 1: the gun shehelp up there. I don't know. I was 774 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 1: told the numbers, but I don't remember, so I'm not 775 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 1: going to repeat anything. But the wild hogs are a 776 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:42,400 Speaker 1: super big problem because there's the like the swine flu. 777 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 1: Twenty eighteen, I was coming back from Sasasquan on a 778 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:52,719 Speaker 1: waterfowl hunt. I was sitting with a veterinarian that was 779 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 1: a swine veterinary that worked around the world. He had 780 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 1: grown up in Canada and worked his way over into 781 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 1: spin and a few other places in Europe. And he 782 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,279 Speaker 1: was flying to Nashville and I asked, you, said, you 783 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 1: going there to see vacation or whatever. Said, no, I'm 784 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:14,319 Speaker 1: going there for a seminar on the swine flu. And 785 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 1: he told me how bad it was. And then you know, 786 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,000 Speaker 1: if you watched the news and seen that was going 787 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,680 Speaker 1: on in China where they were killing millions and millions 788 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:26,080 Speaker 1: of tame hogs, where the swine flu come in. And 789 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: he told me that that. You know, at customs coming in, 790 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,880 Speaker 1: you know they check you for food, you know, not 791 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 1: processed like you know, if you had a country ham 792 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:42,360 Speaker 1: that you cured at at your house over in Spain 793 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 1: or whatever, they wouldn't let that thing. If it was 794 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 1: processed in plastic wrap, they will, they will let that through. 795 00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes it will and sometimes it won't. But he told 796 00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 1: me that someone could have some sausage if they cured 797 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,400 Speaker 1: and may have not went through the proper process. They 798 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,719 Speaker 1: could bring it over here, take it out, eat a 799 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 1: sandwich out in LBL, throw it down, and then a 800 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,319 Speaker 1: hog could come in there it eat it and then 801 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:16,600 Speaker 1: start transmitting swine fleet from that. We had a hog expert, 802 00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,800 Speaker 1: a hog eradication expert on the show one time on 803 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,319 Speaker 1: this podcast a couple of years ago, and he was 804 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,720 Speaker 1: saying that he don't care about all the big numbers. 805 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 1: That's not interesting to him. Like the guys that go 806 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,200 Speaker 1: into an area and they catch two hundred, three hundred, 807 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 1: He's like, whatever, you know what he's interested in. He's 808 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,240 Speaker 1: interesting the guy that catches the last one. Yes, exactly. 809 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: We all are esportunate. Yeah, because because they are vectors 810 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 1: for a wildlife and vectors for our farming industry. Well, 811 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:51,919 Speaker 1: his point being that the skill set the experts are 812 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,920 Speaker 1: the ones that get like any anybody can do the 813 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 1: you know, let's say you got a hundred catching ninety 814 00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 1: seven them whatever. But the guy that he likes is 815 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:04,879 Speaker 1: the guy that can go in and get the last three, 816 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,759 Speaker 1: because that's the hard part. He's the guy. Yeah, that's 817 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,359 Speaker 1: what becomes he is. He is like actually doing an eradicate, 818 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 1: like thinning back numbers is one thing, but doing like 819 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:19,080 Speaker 1: an absolute eradication is a difficult job. I understand that one, yes, 820 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 1: yes to get the last one the smartest one, and 821 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,239 Speaker 1: hogs are super smart. They are way up there on 822 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,640 Speaker 1: the on the smartness scale. I'm always talking about how 823 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm always talking about um, this guy, says Steven episode 824 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,160 Speaker 1: four one one was bemoaning the lack of clear representation 825 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,600 Speaker 1: of hunters by the two major US political parties. Check 826 00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:42,040 Speaker 1: this out. Guess what Australia has for a political party. 827 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: They have a political party called the Shooters, Fishers and 828 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,759 Speaker 1: Farmers Party. I like that, man, I'm gonna be a 829 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 1: member of that. I like that. You know what they 830 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 1: do in Australia, it's weird. You have to vote, compulsory voting. 831 00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 1: No shit, that's the weirdest thing in the world. Why 832 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,239 Speaker 1: did you make people vote? Why would you want to 833 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 1: dilute your vote? That's what I remember my my civics 834 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,879 Speaker 1: teacher in schools like he was trying to teach his view. 835 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,839 Speaker 1: His name was al de Young, and he was staying 836 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,440 Speaker 1: up in front of the class and he'd say, why 837 00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,400 Speaker 1: would I be He a lot of the government teachers 838 00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,239 Speaker 1: were trying to encourage their kids, that their students to 839 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,279 Speaker 1: register to vote. He would say, why would I want 840 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,240 Speaker 1: you people to vote? Why would I dilute my vote? 841 00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,239 Speaker 1: And he'd always point his two thumbs at himself and 842 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 1: he'd say, I'm concerned only with what af facts? Al 843 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 1: de Young, and that was his Civics lesson. You don't 844 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:41,560 Speaker 1: want people to vote. He's like, if I had in 845 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,439 Speaker 1: my way, I'd be the only guy that voted. Right, 846 00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,279 Speaker 1: they make you vote. I didn't know this till now. 847 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 1: Either way they have them. Wasn't name of that party? 848 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:58,320 Speaker 1: Hunter Fishers and Farmers Shooters the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers party. 849 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: Here's the problem it only it only pulls point six 850 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: percent of the vote. Over the last twenty five years, 851 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,600 Speaker 1: they've ranged between point six and one point seven. That 852 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:10,800 Speaker 1: was the hell of a good year. One point seven 853 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:17,239 Speaker 1: three percent. Huh. He says voting is compulsory in Australia. 854 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,680 Speaker 1: The listener, which may skew numbers, Let me damn sure 855 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,280 Speaker 1: would skew numbers making everybody vote? What kind of lunacy 856 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,920 Speaker 1: would you get if everybody had to vote? You actually 857 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:29,360 Speaker 1: got a guy that doesn't want to vote, and you 858 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 1: make them go vote. You just got to pull the lever, Like, 859 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 1: why do you want his opinion? No, I really want 860 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,400 Speaker 1: your opinion. You don't care, you don't know anything, but 861 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 1: I really would like to know what you think. I 862 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:45,800 Speaker 1: if that's true that you have to vote. Here's another 863 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,280 Speaker 1: interesting letter that came in. Check out this headline I found. 864 00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,680 Speaker 1: This is an email subject line I found a human 865 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:56,120 Speaker 1: skull while shed hunting. Yeah, that's interesting catches my eye. 866 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,879 Speaker 1: Podcast listener in Massachusetts, this was out shed hunting, found 867 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 1: an unexpected deadhead. My wife and I managed to buy 868 00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:14,759 Speaker 1: our first house here in Westfield, Massachusetts last October. He's 869 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 1: only got a little chunk of land, but behind it 870 00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,360 Speaker 1: as a big track of forest owned by the city, 871 00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:26,719 Speaker 1: White Pine and Wetlands green Space right a ton of 872 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:30,720 Speaker 1: deer activity. He's been doing a bunch of shed hunting 873 00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:36,920 Speaker 1: at there, went out on a real cold day and 874 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:42,319 Speaker 1: hunting sheds. Now here's him talking. I've been looking for 875 00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,799 Speaker 1: sheds for about an hour and was starting to loop 876 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,320 Speaker 1: back around in my house and noticed that the largest 877 00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,359 Speaker 1: section of wetland that I'd yet to muck through was 878 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 1: finally frozen over. I was pretty confident deer had been 879 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,440 Speaker 1: pushing through there, but I hadn't yet strapped up hip 880 00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,640 Speaker 1: waiters to check it out. I walked on the ice 881 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,319 Speaker 1: and followed a game trail through the cat tails, and 882 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 1: at about twenty feet I noticed there was a tiny 883 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:10,480 Speaker 1: island with a small red maple just barely hanging on 884 00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:14,839 Speaker 1: in the center. I got onto the island and right 885 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:20,400 Speaker 1: smack next to the tree was a human skull. Huh, 886 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 1: I'd love to have that happen to me. It looked deliberate, 887 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,600 Speaker 1: how perfectly it was in the center of the small 888 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:31,680 Speaker 1: little sectional land. This man's an excellent does a great 889 00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,760 Speaker 1: job explaining this right. Yeah, even nailed the tree species. 890 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:39,800 Speaker 1: I thought to myself, Huh, that's some dude's skull, followed 891 00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,120 Speaker 1: promptly by it. That's gotta be fake. So I flipped 892 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,720 Speaker 1: it over with my boot. It was most certainly not fake, 893 00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:50,880 Speaker 1: seeing as it still had its fillings on the molars. Wow. 894 00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,640 Speaker 1: I don't typically bring my cell phone out with me 895 00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,439 Speaker 1: when out behind my house, so I had to head 896 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,879 Speaker 1: back home. At this point, I was pretty asked it 897 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,800 Speaker 1: wasn't the deadhead I was looking for, but I already 898 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,879 Speaker 1: knew I had a great story to tell my wife. 899 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,759 Speaker 1: I got home, told my wife parentheses pretty shocked, then 900 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 1: called the cops. At this point, it was four thirty PM, 901 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:22,000 Speaker 1: five degrees fahrenheit. A lot of details. Yeah. I suggested 902 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,560 Speaker 1: to the dispatch we'd go out the following morning when 903 00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,080 Speaker 1: it'd be light, but that didn't fly. Two cops got 904 00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:31,040 Speaker 1: to my place and I brought him out back. I'll 905 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,440 Speaker 1: note there's about an eighty foot elevation drop at roughly 906 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,400 Speaker 1: forty five degree angle behind my house. This guy is 907 00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 1: just made for this kind of thing, playing out. Eighty 908 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 1: foot elevation drop, forty five degree pitch. You know what, 909 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:50,399 Speaker 1: that's a very steep pitch. He might be wrong. I'd 910 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:54,200 Speaker 1: love to check that. When I brought them to the spot, 911 00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,600 Speaker 1: the lead investigator came to the small island while the 912 00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,720 Speaker 1: other state a bit outside. He looked at the school 913 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,840 Speaker 1: and confirmed it was real. Then a second bone caught 914 00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,400 Speaker 1: my eye. Just under the cops boot. Sticking out of 915 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 1: the water was a femur. I feel like a dumb 916 00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,120 Speaker 1: ass for this, but I didn't have my phone on 917 00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:12,840 Speaker 1: me before and I hadn't gone out to take a 918 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,080 Speaker 1: picture before the cops arrived, so no picture. I asked 919 00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,200 Speaker 1: the investigator if I could take a pick after we 920 00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:24,879 Speaker 1: found the femur and got a pretty hard no. Still 921 00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,399 Speaker 1: kicking myself for that one. I spent the next few 922 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,920 Speaker 1: hours helping some additional cops navigating ATV close to the wetland, 923 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,920 Speaker 1: then called at night while they stayed out in searched 924 00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:37,719 Speaker 1: the area for a few more hours. The remains ended 925 00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,600 Speaker 1: up being from a guy down the road that went 926 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 1: missing three years back. Apparently he wanted to live off 927 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:50,279 Speaker 1: the grid. I thought I'd be more shocked to find 928 00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,680 Speaker 1: human remains, but it made more of a philosophical impact 929 00:56:53,680 --> 00:57:02,320 Speaker 1: than an emotional one. Think about that. Overall, it was 930 00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:16,480 Speaker 1: a wicked experience. Here's a good story right for this one. Yep, Kevin, 931 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:21,760 Speaker 1: as you'll appreciate this one alright. Aggressive squirrels forced Florida 932 00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:25,400 Speaker 1: Country Club to consider relocation. These are my kind of squirrels. 933 00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,240 Speaker 1: On a golf course. Maybe I might want to bring 934 00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 1: some of them up here and you can, Kentucky. This 935 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:38,240 Speaker 1: is amazing SETTHEWS says you're good at regional proNT Windermere, 936 00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:46,320 Speaker 1: Windermere Windmere.

Unless you count 938 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 1: the squirrels. The twenty seven hole Naples, Florida Golf Complex 939 00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:55,600 Speaker 1: is going through quite an ordeal when it comes to 940 00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 1: regional wildlife. Squirrels in the area are being nuisances in 941 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,320 Speaker 1: all sort of ways.

They're probing relocation options for 943 00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 1: aggressive squirrels.

I played the golf 960 00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,560 Speaker 1: course a lot. I would say the squirrels are persistent. 961 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,360 Speaker 1: If you leave open food containers in your cart, they 962 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:29,240 Speaker 1: will help themselves. I love these squirrels. You know what, man, 963 00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,960 Speaker 1: I think that if it goes well, they'll move that 964 00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:37,240 Speaker 1: golf course to another country and Scotland anything they like 965 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:41,040 Speaker 1: golf over there. Moved to Scotland and and then have 966 00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:46,480 Speaker 1: that be a good hunting spot. A golf story about squirrels. 967 00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:49,280 Speaker 1: My uncle Pete or it was my uncle Gary, I 968 00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:51,520 Speaker 1: can't remember which one. Was golfing with my dad and 969 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,360 Speaker 1: a squirrel was about two hundred and fifty yards out 970 00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,680 Speaker 1: running across the fairway and he hit a hit a 971 00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:00,560 Speaker 1: drive and a golf ball flew out there and I'll 972 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:06,400 Speaker 1: send it hit something in ricochet and uh and then 973 01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 1: he ended up getting that squirrel out in the fairway, 974 01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,320 Speaker 1: killed it, HM with a nine urn or what says. 975 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:20,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, Steve. If I was a golfer, I 976 01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:25,000 Speaker 1: would be so humiliated by this being an issue. No, no, no, no, 977 01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:29,160 Speaker 1: by you needing to like fret about how to handle 978 01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,240 Speaker 1: the risk of squirrels while playing golf. Maybe they should 979 01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:34,440 Speaker 1: just have Kevin come in there. They need to get 980 01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,760 Speaker 1: him some feral cats. That's what they need. They'll take. No, 981 01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,680 Speaker 1: they need to move the golf course to another country. 982 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,240 Speaker 1: I think if we brought those aggressive squirrels up here, 983 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 1: because you got retreating squirrels here. Yeah, if we braid 984 01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 1: those together, then that should be a state put squirrel Maybe, y'all, 985 01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,640 Speaker 1: that's a good point. Just bring in some zucker squirrels. 986 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:57,680 Speaker 1: They'll teach those squirrels how to steer clear. Um. Check 987 01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,160 Speaker 1: this out.

So, but this is very interesting. So a 1015 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,680 Speaker 1: police squad in China claims its successfully trained squirrels to 1016 01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:59,919 Speaker 1: detect the smell of drugs. This is an interesting part. Please. 1017 01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,200 Speaker 1: Sources told local news outlets that the squirrel's keen sense 1018 01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:13,080 Speaker 1: of smell and you're ready flexibility make them uniquely suited 1019 01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,720 Speaker 1: for the task. So that spy balloon it what over 1020 01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 1: Florida is a dropping spy? Squirrels drop better retrieving aggress 1021 01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:25,560 Speaker 1: it with a spar That might be man. They might 1022 01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,600 Speaker 1: be like, hey, man, when we're done spying on the 1023 01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:30,880 Speaker 1: military installations, if we can zap up somebody's aggressive squirrels 1024 01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 1: from this golf course in Florida. I'm training them to 1025 01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:38,280 Speaker 1: drug sniff squirrels put them back into TikTok squirrel. I 1026 01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,080 Speaker 1: saw one of those squirrels here sniffing around sets bag. 1027 01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:45,240 Speaker 1: So maybe Suck has a few that's nutty. No drugs, 1028 01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:50,720 Speaker 1: So the trail mix the cheng Quinn city, please, I'm 1029 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:56,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm mutilating the name choung Quinn City. They 1030 01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:59,760 Speaker 1: have a dog brigade. They now have a subunit of 1031 01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:05,960 Speaker 1: six squirrels. They have a dog brigade. It must not 1032 01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:10,160 Speaker 1: be curs or fee. They're using red squirrel They're using 1033 01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,800 Speaker 1: red squirrels because the dogs would be after the squirrels, right, 1034 01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 1: because they can sniff out drugs and the nooks and 1035 01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:22,840 Speaker 1: crannies of warehouses and storage units. Hm. The picture of 1036 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:27,880 Speaker 1: that squirrel that they have looks a little different than 1037 01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 1: our red it is, but there's a lot of kind 1038 01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:32,200 Speaker 1: of red squirrels. I think red squirrels are basically, uh, 1039 01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 1: transpolar do you know, like the blue like, for instance, 1040 01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:40,400 Speaker 1: the blue muscle is transpolar like if you if you 1041 01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:42,400 Speaker 1: take ah, that's not the right word for it. Look 1042 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,440 Speaker 1: up what the word for it is. If you take 1043 01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:48,320 Speaker 1: a latitude band, Okay, there's some species if you like 1044 01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,120 Speaker 1: the polar bear. For instance, you can take a latitude 1045 01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:55,320 Speaker 1: band so it would be zero to whatever latitude and 1046 01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:59,919 Speaker 1: run it across the whole planet. That latitude band whole 1047 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,640 Speaker 1: holds that species. I believe moose are like this. You 1048 01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:10,080 Speaker 1: can take a latitude band in the northern hemisphere and 1049 01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,640 Speaker 1: and and take that band. So let's say with Moose, 1050 01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:14,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, thirty to I don't 1051 01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:18,360 Speaker 1: know what, right, thirty to forty five whatever, and run 1052 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,920 Speaker 1: that latitude band around the whole globe, the whole planet. 1053 01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:26,320 Speaker 1: They exist in that latitude band. Blue muscles that have 1054 01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:28,280 Speaker 1: a latitude band all the way around the planet. It's 1055 01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:34,640 Speaker 1: called circumpolar. Circumpolar. Yeah, transpolar is transpolar existing across either 1056 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,880 Speaker 1: of the polar regions. You know. Here's another good words 1057 01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:41,800 Speaker 1: I learned one day is if if you know, when 1058 01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,000 Speaker 1: you were a kid, you thought if you dug down deep, 1059 01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:48,480 Speaker 1: you'd pop out in China at any point on the 1060 01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:52,400 Speaker 1: planet if you were to, if you were to burrow 1061 01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:57,600 Speaker 1: straight through, so the longest axis through and pop out, 1062 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:04,080 Speaker 1: that's called your antipods. M hm. So you I don't know, 1063 01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,280 Speaker 1: if you'd like started digging right here Chester and popped out, 1064 01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,960 Speaker 1: you'd pop out at your antipities. Where would I pop out? 1065 01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,200 Speaker 1: That's a good question. But once you popped out, you 1066 01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,480 Speaker 1: this is metaphysical. Once you popped out, you would be 1067 01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:20,880 Speaker 1: sitting at your antipities. M that's that's it. Could and 1068 01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:26,920 Speaker 1: see what right here? Yeah, it's probably an app. If not, 1069 01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,280 Speaker 1: we should develop an app called the Antipities app and 1070 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,040 Speaker 1: it'll always tell you what your antipities is. Man, we 1071 01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 1: got this, We got this tunnel, like, uh, what was 1072 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:38,120 Speaker 1: that movie that I saw where it had that hole 1073 01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:42,160 Speaker 1: in it? That Western thing? Did y'all see that? M? No, 1074 01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:49,320 Speaker 1: what was that name? It had the guy from uh, 1075 01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:55,280 Speaker 1: scratch your beer? Old Country, No country for McCarthy, O man, 1076 01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:58,560 Speaker 1: No country for omen? Yeah? Uh you Ellen was the 1077 01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,200 Speaker 1: like the star guy in the thing. And then any 1078 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:03,800 Speaker 1: hid Luellen? Yeah, lou Allen. This hole that he popped 1079 01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,240 Speaker 1: out of on his property. It was like going down 1080 01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:08,600 Speaker 1: the rabbit hole. YO, didn't see that? That's all the 1081 01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,080 Speaker 1: movie A bunch of times when no one pops out 1082 01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 1: of a hole in the yard. Yeah, that's worth that's 1083 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:14,560 Speaker 1: a new world lou Ellen coming from he come out 1084 01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,040 Speaker 1: of that hole. I think we'd be somewhere right in 1085 01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,400 Speaker 1: the Indian Ocean. I don't think he's talking about no 1086 01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:23,880 Speaker 1: country for old man now I was talking about But 1087 01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:28,720 Speaker 1: there was another that was another series of about I 1088 01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:32,800 Speaker 1: don't know, eight shows, nine shows, and uh, yeah, it's 1089 01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:36,600 Speaker 1: pretty interested. That was. I can't remember. I haven't seen that. Now. 1090 01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,120 Speaker 1: My kids have a great kids book called Sam and 1091 01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:42,840 Speaker 1: Dave Dig a Hole. And they dig a hole and 1092 01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:44,840 Speaker 1: they dig, dig, dig, dig dig, And what's weird is 1093 01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:48,840 Speaker 1: they eventually fall through the other side of the planet 1094 01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:52,720 Speaker 1: and they fall through the sky and land in their 1095 01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,720 Speaker 1: own yard. Because love that book. What's it called Sam 1096 01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:58,440 Speaker 1: and Dave Dig a Hole. I think that's what it's called. 1097 01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,000 Speaker 1: Look up Paduca, Kentucky. I want to know. You know, 1098 01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:03,240 Speaker 1: when they land in their yard, it's a little bit different. 1099 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,760 Speaker 1: If you compare the pictures in the beginning. Some things 1100 01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:10,040 Speaker 1: change when they fall from scott they come out, they 1101 01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,960 Speaker 1: plunge out the other side of earth fall and flop 1102 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:17,240 Speaker 1: right in their own yard and they're fine. But if 1103 01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:23,519 Speaker 1: you look, shit's a little different. M So instead of 1104 01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,800 Speaker 1: reading from left to right, they read from right to left. Uh, 1105 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:32,720 Speaker 1: these the police and the um oh this goes on. 1106 01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,040 Speaker 1: I got this more parts of this they have the 1107 01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:40,960 Speaker 1: Chong King Seun King Police Department. They have not returned 1108 01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,960 Speaker 1: m requests for comment on their drug sniffing things. But 1109 01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:45,719 Speaker 1: here's the thing I didn't know about. In two thousand 1110 01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:49,400 Speaker 1: and two, the Pentagon backed project to use bees to 1111 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:56,160 Speaker 1: detect bombs. Meanwhile, Cambodia has deployed trained rats to help 1112 01:08:56,240 --> 01:09:01,800 Speaker 1: bomb disposal squads trall mine fields or buried explosives. I 1113 01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,240 Speaker 1: don't want that job as a rat. Fucking back, as 1114 01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:07,479 Speaker 1: a rat, I don't want to do that. So how 1115 01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:10,200 Speaker 1: do they use bees to don't know. I haven't read 1116 01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:13,880 Speaker 1: up on it, and I'll follow back. That's pretty bizarre. 1117 01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:17,320 Speaker 1: I could see a rat training them to do feed 1118 01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:19,920 Speaker 1: them some C four or something or you know what 1119 01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:24,160 Speaker 1: they smell C four. They get a reward. Yeah, you know, 1120 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,679 Speaker 1: I could see trading that, roading that road in mind 1121 01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:28,639 Speaker 1: to do that. But a bee is a whole different. 1122 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:34,320 Speaker 1: Associate it with some kind of collen or something. Yeah, 1123 01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:37,720 Speaker 1: like you don't like discipline the b when it does bad. No, 1124 01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:43,760 Speaker 1: I know, I was told about some of the you 1125 01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,240 Speaker 1: roll up a newspaper, you can't hit them a little 1126 01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:48,960 Speaker 1: bit on the nose. Some of the mountain people that 1127 01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:52,680 Speaker 1: I knew. They said to find in the mountains, to 1128 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:56,920 Speaker 1: find a wild colonies to bee, you know, honey. They 1129 01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,599 Speaker 1: would tie something a thread or something they could see 1130 01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:02,920 Speaker 1: on a on a wild honeybee and let it fly 1131 01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,320 Speaker 1: up and then when it leveled off. They knew that 1132 01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:07,920 Speaker 1: there was probably a B tree in that area, and 1133 01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:10,160 Speaker 1: used to when I really did a lot of prowling 1134 01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:11,680 Speaker 1: and this stuff, I knew were like five or six 1135 01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:15,160 Speaker 1: wild b trees were located. Now I only know where 1136 01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:19,920 Speaker 1: one is because I would say that. And I don't 1137 01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:21,680 Speaker 1: prowl around, you know, as much as I used to. 1138 01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:23,919 Speaker 1: But I was to me, I'm mark of a woodsman 1139 01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,479 Speaker 1: where I'd be out prowling around, you know, looking and 1140 01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:28,800 Speaker 1: finding a wild B tree. Yeah, it's it's funny you 1141 01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 1: bring this up because there's a couple. This is a 1142 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,120 Speaker 1: I'm glad he brought this up. Maybe you could shed 1143 01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,719 Speaker 1: some light on something for me. There's a Tom Petty 1144 01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:41,439 Speaker 1: song in which Tom Petty says, sure, did you ever 1145 01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:44,400 Speaker 1: watch that great documentary about Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 1146 01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:48,479 Speaker 1: called Running Down a Dream? The first time any of 1147 01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:52,800 Speaker 1: those guys were ever west of the Mississippi River is 1148 01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:55,800 Speaker 1: when they went to La to try to make it 1149 01:10:55,880 --> 01:11:00,439 Speaker 1: as musicians, and they no kidding, phoned a rap of 1150 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:04,479 Speaker 1: paper that had a bunch of record producers names on 1151 01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,519 Speaker 1: it in a phone booth and started calling those numbers. 1152 01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:17,760 Speaker 1: That's a Michigan elbow grease in Florida, people. What was 1153 01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:19,559 Speaker 1: I getting that? Oh? There's a Tom Petty song where 1154 01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:26,840 Speaker 1: he says I can track a single bee to its hive. Okay. 1155 01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:32,240 Speaker 1: I have a friend whose name was Layton, and he 1156 01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,519 Speaker 1: lived in Montana, and he would as a hobby, he 1157 01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:38,880 Speaker 1: would make his own boot wax and he would make it. 1158 01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:44,400 Speaker 1: Would he'd make a triblend boot pitch okay, bees wax, 1159 01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:53,040 Speaker 1: bear grease, pine pitch okay, equal parts to treat his boots. 1160 01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:56,360 Speaker 1: He'd get his own pine pitch. He'd get his own 1161 01:11:56,439 --> 01:11:59,800 Speaker 1: bear grease, and he'd get his own bees wax, and 1162 01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:02,719 Speaker 1: he would find it. He would make it a hobby 1163 01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:04,719 Speaker 1: of his. In the summer, he would go out until 1164 01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:12,160 Speaker 1: he saw a honeybee flying, and he'd watch, and he'd 1165 01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:16,200 Speaker 1: watched where he couldn't see it anymore, okay, And then 1166 01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:18,040 Speaker 1: he'd go stand in that spot and mark it with 1167 01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:20,840 Speaker 1: a piece of surveyor's tape, and the next time he 1168 01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:23,479 Speaker 1: had time, he'd stand in that spot and he'd wait 1169 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:27,240 Speaker 1: and wait and wait and wait and wait for honeybees 1170 01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:29,320 Speaker 1: to come along there, and he'd watch far as it 1171 01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:32,640 Speaker 1: would go, mark that spot and hang out there, and 1172 01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:39,560 Speaker 1: he used to routinely find wild honeybees that way. It 1173 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:41,960 Speaker 1: would be interesting to know if he figured that out 1174 01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:45,160 Speaker 1: on he's his own, or if some warning got told 1175 01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,559 Speaker 1: him about that. Well, that's why I think he I mean, 1176 01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:49,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to say he learned it from Tom Petty, 1177 01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:51,880 Speaker 1: but that's what. That's what. And when you're listening to 1178 01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:55,280 Speaker 1: Tom Petty, and like all the everybody on the planet 1179 01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:58,080 Speaker 1: has heard I can track a single bee to its hive. 1180 01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:02,639 Speaker 1: But I wonder how many people have any how many 1181 01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:06,040 Speaker 1: people listen to that and they just like hear it 1182 01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:08,960 Speaker 1: and it goes through their brain, but they don't understand 1183 01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:12,200 Speaker 1: at all what it means. They don't understand, like what 1184 01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:15,679 Speaker 1: that level of what he's saying about that level of prowess. 1185 01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:19,400 Speaker 1: You brought up No Country for Old Men, and I 1186 01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:21,519 Speaker 1: brought this up before. In the end of No Country 1187 01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:25,240 Speaker 1: for Old Men, the character is describing a dream and 1188 01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:27,519 Speaker 1: he dreams that he and his father are riding horses 1189 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:31,800 Speaker 1: in a blizzard and his father rode ahead carrying a 1190 01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:34,679 Speaker 1: horn of fire. No one knows what that shit means. 1191 01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:39,200 Speaker 1: If you listen to the show. If you listen to 1192 01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,320 Speaker 1: the show, you know what that means. But like, how 1193 01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:45,240 Speaker 1: many things enter your brain from media or whatever, music, art, 1194 01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:49,680 Speaker 1: and it just that's the noise it makes when it 1195 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:53,400 Speaker 1: goes through sets head. Its probably sounds like, yeah, most 1196 01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:57,160 Speaker 1: most of that feats my head. It's in and out. Um, 1197 01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:00,960 Speaker 1: I can track a single bee to its hive. I 1198 01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:04,360 Speaker 1: would love something. I want to set myself to doing 1199 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:06,560 Speaker 1: that someday. But the thing is now you brought it 1200 01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:15,920 Speaker 1: up with like with rampant use of pesticides, changing farm practices, 1201 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,840 Speaker 1: colony collapsed this order like we're running out of that 1202 01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:25,720 Speaker 1: ship less pollinators, and we got this monol culture of 1203 01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:31,360 Speaker 1: seas of soybeans and corn and not any like. Um, 1204 01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,280 Speaker 1: look milt miltweed that we used to have for the monarchs. Yeah, 1205 01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:38,080 Speaker 1: he's got a lot of milkweed. I asked him if 1206 01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:40,840 Speaker 1: he planted that milkweed. He says, he's, he's he just had, 1207 01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:42,760 Speaker 1: he just got and it's coming more and more and more. 1208 01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:46,360 Speaker 1: Milkweed here.

I did 1220 01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:27,360 Speaker 1: some research on it. But they don't only last so 1221 01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:31,800 Speaker 1: long they become waterlog But they collected huge amounts of 1222 01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:38,200 Speaker 1: for PFDs. For PFDs, yes really, yes, two? Now I'm 1223 01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,000 Speaker 1: learning great stuff, man, that's great. Yeah.

In Michael Harre's book Dispatches, 1254 01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:16,080 Speaker 1: he talks about the lerps, the long range of constance 1255 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:19,200 Speaker 1: patrollers in Vietnam. He talks about how they always kept 1256 01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:22,720 Speaker 1: uppers in the right pocket of their tiger suit and 1257 01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:25,880 Speaker 1: downers in the left pocket their tiger suit. I do 1258 01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:29,880 Speaker 1: like milkweed right, instead having uppers and downers, I do 1259 01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:36,759 Speaker 1: milkwed milkweed right, mouth call left. I don't mix them up. Good. 1260 01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:38,479 Speaker 1: I want to give you guys a little bit of 1261 01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:42,000 Speaker 1: an update here after some research. If you dig a 1262 01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:45,320 Speaker 1: hole where we're sitting right now, the whole way through 1263 01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:50,400 Speaker 1: the earth, you end up somewhere in between the Indian 1264 01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:57,599 Speaker 1: and Southern Ocean, in the water kind of on the south. 1265 01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:01,680 Speaker 1: It would be the southwest tip of Australia. It's in 1266 01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:05,559 Speaker 1: the Indian Ocean, right. Yeah, funny you mentioned that, because 1267 01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:09,000 Speaker 1: when I learned the word antipities, I was reading a 1268 01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:11,400 Speaker 1: thing by the writer Ian Frasier, who's going to be 1269 01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:14,840 Speaker 1: coming on the podcast soon, and he had written a 1270 01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:20,560 Speaker 1: big He was from Ohio, and he talked about like 1271 01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:22,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot of towns and all people used to 1272 01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:27,040 Speaker 1: be obsessed with the antippities, Like can't in Ohio If 1273 01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:28,800 Speaker 1: I'm not, I might be messing parts of this up. 1274 01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:31,600 Speaker 1: But there's towns around the country named after what they 1275 01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:34,080 Speaker 1: thought their antipities was. Like people used to really be 1276 01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:37,400 Speaker 1: into this antippities idea. And there's town's name where they 1277 01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:40,599 Speaker 1: had miscalculated what the antippities was and named the town 1278 01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:43,320 Speaker 1: after its antippities. So when you're a little kid and 1279 01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:46,040 Speaker 1: you're brought up thinking that if you dug through in America, 1280 01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:49,080 Speaker 1: you'd like dig through and land in China. He wrote 1281 01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:52,000 Speaker 1: a whole piece wasn't long, but he wrote a whole 1282 01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:55,320 Speaker 1: piece about what the antippities of his hometown in Ohio was. 1283 01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:59,680 Speaker 1: And he got into this kind of muck that's like 1284 01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,400 Speaker 1: twenty thousand feet deep in the ocean, and all this 1285 01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:05,080 Speaker 1: information about this muck down there, and like did a 1286 01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:08,840 Speaker 1: whole piece about his hometown's antippaities, which which was like 1287 01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:13,960 Speaker 1: this primordial muck deep in the ocean. Yeah, and coming 1288 01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,640 Speaker 1: back to me. Now, anywhere in the United States, the 1289 01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:20,280 Speaker 1: antipit Antippaities would be in the in the water in 1290 01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:22,439 Speaker 1: the ocean. In the ocean. We should get my deep 1291 01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:24,679 Speaker 1: drop reel and go down there and deep drop. Yeah. 1292 01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:31,080 Speaker 1: Watch you dropped down there and catch chester. You see. 1293 01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:37,280 Speaker 1: Let's see a bait come up.
