Guy wrote in and he 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:44.440 got his uh, got his nipple pierced, And sure how 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:46.199 I'm gonna be able to relate to this story. This 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.000 is a joke I stole from Brian Cowen where if 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:53.960 you're telling someone a story that has you tell us 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.880 some story that has really in a crowd. You'll tell 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.120 like some like perverse story and you'll say like, oh 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:04.000 you know, Billy, this will you'll appreciate this, Bill, And 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.319 you tell like some stories and people are like later 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.600 they're like, why would you know? So that's why I 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:12.840 wanted to correct it right away. So a guy guess 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.040 his nipple piers and he writes in about it and 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.120 he's out shooting his bow. You can imagine when this 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:23.440 is going right, Oh god, yeah, very painful. I'm not 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.479 sure that's something i'd be writing you about well, we've 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:32.320 been talking about stuff people getting It started off with 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.880 hunting scars, and Gala rode in to say she had 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:43.360 jumped jumped to barb wire fence ripped her nipple, and 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:47.760 then the ripple nipping nipple ripping stories have come in 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.960 and rolled in. She was jumping a fence to go 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:56.320 dove hunting, and yeah, we told the whole story anyways, 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.560 and then she had made a joke about how her 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.960 husband and later she said, my husband called that one scarface. 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:08.400 And then other people wrote in, Um, just nipple ripping 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.880 stories catches free people that are slower the take. He 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:17.320 gets his nipple pierced. That's one. Like, that's one. I 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.720 just I mean, God bless right, but I just don't 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:27.280 just that not on my list before I went tongue piercing, 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.239 Oh yeah for sure. But if you wrote down all 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.160 the things you could get pierced in a list, and 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:33.600 I had to start like from the top, and I 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.600 know when it would end, I would that won't be 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:40.800 real low, real low on my list. Um, but he 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:47.200 catches it on his bow string, right, I would. I 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.360 would if that happened to me, I would say that 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:53.160 it happened, you keep it secret, No, I would say 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.800 it publicly. Yeah, Like, I don't know how to say this, 0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:02.120 but in the last few years, but I I've increased. 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.760 I've never been I've never I've never I've never been 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:12.600 like reluctant to publicized when I do something stupid. But 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:17.080 it's gotten the point where I really wanted out there. 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:23.200 It's like a kind of a form of masochism. Well, 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:29.040 you dumb motherfucker. People are gonna know about this too, 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.520 you know, it's maybe it's like some kind of form 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:35.320 of like self betterment, Like, well, I think it's I 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.720 think it's helpful too, because the worst thing you can 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:43.120 be as a blowhard. Yeah, so if you are generally 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:49.360 competent person and you it's like under promising over delivering. 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.720 And if you're very vocal about what you've screwed up, 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.400 but you are generally competent, it's only gonna do good 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.760 for you. And I have found that when I have 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.520 like contractor a contractor over that staid as the plumbing 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.080 problem is beyond me to figure out if I have 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.480 a contractor over and I say, you know, I'm such 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:14.760 a dumbass when it comes to this right, It just 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.839 makes the whole thing go better. Then if you're in 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:22.479 there acting like you but got it solved, do you 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.240 know what I mean? You're also putting yourself in a 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.120 position to learn a little bit more, probably too speak 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.800 of things. Then it's good stories you could tell to 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.840 the world and kind of get it, you know. Up 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.880 a I saw a picture, but I didn't really get 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.200 a story. Yeah, No, that's kind of where I was 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:48.680 going with this. Yeah, so this is yeah, this is 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.680 me putting on sackcloth and ashes right here. Is that 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.080 a biblical reference? Mm hmm. What part of the Bible? 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:01.800 I don't know, isn't the sa and ashes? And then 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.479 also I think it's all I think it's in several 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:08.800 places in the Old Testament. And I think that when 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.159 one is wearing sat cloth and ashes there there it 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.520 was a stupid way. It wasn't the right usage because 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:20.160 it's usually you're repenting for something, but not repenting hat. 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.240 I'm wearing a hair shirt in the Bible, I don't 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.839 know when Usually when somebody's wearing set cloth and putting 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.160 ashes on their face, they're they're also gnashing their teeth. 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.480 That seems to be my boy, does that my four 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.279 year old. I have a lament that does it. I 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:43.200 think that nipple piercing just got replaced by you know 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.320 where this is going is you're gonna tell them? Yeah, 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.400 But first I got asked, you have a Llama shirt 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.960 on right now. Somebody gave me this. It's a little 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:55.320 tight on me. So it says Wikipedia fact number thousand, 0:05:55.440 --> 0:06:00.200 eight hundred one. Llamas like to wrestle. Yeah, yeah, you 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.640 like that shirt. I don't know. Okay, go on, So 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:08.800 what happens? Um? They do like to wrestle though, they do? 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.360 Oh my god, I thought I was just being stupid 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.400 and cut. They like to wrestle. Yeah, sometimes I go 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.560 out in my pasture and break it up because I'm 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.200 afraid one of them is gonna get hurt. Really, what 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:30.839 is that, Doug? What was your thing about farm wrestling? Well, 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:41.520 Duc threatened the farm wrestle. It was a typo. It 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.800 was no, no, it was him. He was He was interested, 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.720 like I don't know what that is, but I want 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:52.520 to happen. He wanted something from me, and I said, well, 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.960 I'll arm wrestle you for it. But I think I 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.839 spoke into my phone and I said farm wrestling because 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:09.200 farm wrestle anyway. So there are playing with your bow 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:15.880 and arrows. Yeah, I Um, I was shooting out of 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.000 my house this winter because it was bit or cold, 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.400 you know, and I but I wanted to kind of 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.600 keep up on the shooting a little bit. So I 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.280 open was opening up the window and shooting out the window. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:34.800 And I went out to fetch my arrows. And I 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.520 had an idea why I was out there. It's like, man, 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.200 I cannot see my pins very good inside the house. 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:44.000 So I went out into the garage and I got 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.840 a got my head lamp and it was zip tieing 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:52.920 to my site pin and then I got back in it. 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.800 You know, things a little bright, you know, So I 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.480 was you know, I was like there was a lot 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.600 going on, and I freaking forgot that I had closed 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:09.559 the window. Did you hit the target? I never found 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.920 that arrow. It took me a few seconds to even 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:21.320 realize what happened. I was like, what that window? Um? Here, 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.559 uh another quick thing. I was just reading. I'm reading 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:29.960 a book. Oh you know, Randall, you'll appreciate this watch out. 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.880 You'll appreciate it for real. Remember I was recently asking 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:39.360 you about the historian Elliott West because I'm enjoying his 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:43.760 books so much, his collection of his essays, one of 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:48.840 which is an essay that really counters the idea that 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:54.720 Lewis and Clark had discovered, you know, from a European perspective, 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.040 had discovered the like the great planes, right, And he 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.160 goes on to explain, at the time Lewis and Clark's 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:06.439 um journey, there were Indians on the Great Plains who 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.600 had been to Europe, met the King of France, and 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.439 returned home at the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition. 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.280 So you forward me that story a long time ago. 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:18.960 I know, Well, I wasn't got the book that that 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:22.760 piece of podcast listener that sent that that essay in, 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.200 and I went and got the whole book, and then 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:27.520 I was trying to and I wanted to get the 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.640 dope on Elliott West. So I asked Randall what Elliott 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.920 West's reputation was, and he told me about Elliott west reputation. 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:38.680 Then I get the book and I'm reading and there's 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.840 a piece about the difficult job of a historian to 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:48.560 uncover the unheard voices in history, meaning that we follow 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.400 like oh, Lewis and Clark, right, And we know all 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:55.240 these monumentas things, but like the the details of people's 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.760 lives and people that weren't spoken for, right, people whose 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:03.560 recollections aren't like like he talks about the paucity of 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:08.959 of accounts from Chinese immigrants who worked in the mines. 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:14.400 Right there, they didn't leave a written history, so now 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.360 you're trying to like find these forgotten voices. And in 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.120 there he's some about this guy and his brother that 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.439 are going out to the California gold Rush. And they're 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.640 leaving the East coast, going to California gold Rush by boat, 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.120 so presumably going all the way around Patagonia at the time, right, 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:34.560 no Panama Canal. His brother dies on the way, so 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:36.480 there's two brothers. They leave and his brother dies on 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.599 the way, and he gets a barrel of brandy and 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:45.120 packs his brother into a barrel of brandy. The dead 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:51.240 Brady packs into a barrel of brandy, gets to California 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:55.079 and to bury his brother at home, promptly sets out 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.320 on an overland journey with the bear, the brother packing 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.400 the barrel of brandy to bring him back home. Him again, 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.480 he's so intent on bringing his brother home. Why why 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.520 was it easier to do that, and then if he 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.560 opted to do the ocean one, do you have a 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.920 bunch of stuff with him? He doesn't explain that, and 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.240 I haven't dug into the footnotes to find where he 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.440 pulled that story from. But I don't understand why. I 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:21.120 was like, let's go one way. Maybe they were moving 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.959 a bunch of Maybe they're moving stuff, and he left 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:28.559 the stuff and it was quicker to packed him and 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:33.400 Brandy just wanted to change the scenery. Yep. Um. A 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.160 couple of other things I wanted to touch on real quick. 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:41.640 A guy wrote in he's fishing and his brother hooks 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.280 into their fishing on the East coast. Where were they fishing? 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:48.920 Could fishing off Maine? And his brother hooks into a 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:58.679 big fish. Uh no, I'll appreciate this. Yeah, hooks into 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.400 a fourteen foot blue shot and they're just fighting it 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:06.880 for the fun of it. And it's a strenuous fish fight. 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:08.880 That's a sharp go. A couple of days later, he 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:15.280 develops this horrible pain in his chest. I can't figure 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:16.800 out what it is. Thinks he pulled the muscle. Can't 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:18.400 figure out, but it gets worse and worse. Pain goes 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:23.640 to a doctor and he's got this tumor that he 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:27.120 didn't know about and would have killed him. And somehow, 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:31.640 fighting that fish tweaks something in that tumor pressed up 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.000 against the nerve and alerted him to the presence of 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:38.160 that tumor, and they removed the tumor. Now he's fine. 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:45.199 Well all the story. Go fishing fish more with your brother. Finally, 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.480 here's here's one last one before we start, before we 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:52.200 get some other stuff. Um guy uh takes his dad 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.319 turkey hunting. His dad's sentimental type takes his dad turkey hunting. 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.520 They his dad gets a turkey and he gives the 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:06.000 kid the fan because he wants the fan mounted. The 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:10.520 guy's dog destroys it. I think it was his dog 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:16.000 destroys it. Wife's dog. Oh, you saw this story, wife's 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.920 dog destroyed. Like, what's the difference between your dog and 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:23.199 your wife's dog. Oh, I think it's just and it's 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:28.440 the same as I think it's the same thing as 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:32.320 if you tie the tune into your girlfriend's car. No, 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.440 my girlfriend's dog, No, one says my wife. I guess 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.280 they do, you know what I'm saying. Like, at a point, 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.320 we have two dogs. My dog is the good one. 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.040 My wife's dog is a bad one, and it's like 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.440 the white's dog. My wife she decided to get it 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.760 when we started dating. And and you don't, you've never 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.400 acted like it was your our dogs. No, I mean, 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.559 it's it's our dog, but it's her dog, she said, 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:58.720 she's we're we're living together, and she said, um, I 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.160 want you to know, I put a deposit on a 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.880 chocolate lab puppy. So if we're gonna keep going with 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.760 this thing, we need to move into a pet friendly apartment. 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:09.679 And you, you know, do you want to go looking 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.680 for apartments with me or not? And so she made 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.400 that decision on her own, and he was going to 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.959 move whether you did or not. Yeah, she was like, 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.240 she was like, you want to you want to keep 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.880 this thing rolling for another year's lease, We need to 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.160 go find a pet friendly apartment. But she she put 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.200 a deposit on a puppy and did that all on 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.040 her own. And her dog. He's seven years old and 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:36.200 he's terrible and then uh what does he do? Uh, 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:51.600 he's just he's like now he's now on dog, big 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:55.640 difference between your dog dog go on randall. Now he's 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.120 just he's too much. He's just hyper. He's a yeah, 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:03.119 he's a hunter pound lab and lab people are overwhelmed 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:07.720 by them. We actually had someone come over for dinner 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.080 and they hadn't seen him in about a year, and 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.280 they said, oh, wow, you know, you guys are great. 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:20.120 Most people I know wouldn't have kept that dog, no joke, 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.160 and and I mean we looked at each other like, 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.400 I don't really know very many people that would get 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.080 rid of a dog, you know, just send him on 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.960 his way. But yeah, we got that from someone else. 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.880 You kept that thing around, didn't you. So But then 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:36.400 right before we got married, we got a second dog 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.720 and I got to pick that one, and she's perfect. 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.360 She's an angel. That's your dog, Rosie. Yeah, that's my 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.440 daughter's name. Kind of it's a good name. You know. 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.640 The only thing I have to sorry, go ahead, go ahead. 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.600 The only thing I have to compare that too, is 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:54.480 when I was younger that when um, we would get 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:56.840 one of my siblings that I would get in trouble. 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:02.520 It seemed like, uh, the one the parent who was 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.800 pointing that out to the other parents, they would say, 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:10.520 your son did this. Yeah, well that's because they're seeing 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.840 that behavior. I would guess being married and having kids, 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:21.320 they're seeing that that behavior the result of your influences. 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.480 Well they said that. They're saying, like, because of you. 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:28.000 What they's what they're saying is because of you, your son, 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.440 the parts of our child that are that oh to 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:36.600 you are responsible for X. Can I get it back 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:41.360 to this thing? His mas dog eats it. He then 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:46.200 his mom and dad must be divorced. So is my 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:52.360 dog eats the His mas dog eats the You follow me, yeah, mom, mom, Mom? 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:58.320 And yeah, okay, well by the people might duck ducks, 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:05.600 probably losses. So I was just thinking childhood. I'll make 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:09.879 a flow diagrams. A guy. There's a guy, we'll call 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.840 him the kid. He takes his old man turkey hunt. 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:14.919 His old man shoes turkey. The kid then takes the 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.280 old man's turkey fan. His job is to mount the 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.600 turkey fan as a gift to the old man. He 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:21.840 then takes it to his mom's house to store it. 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.520 The mom's dog, if they are divorced, it's because the 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:31.760 mom's dog is still right out for vengeance, eats the 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.800 turkey fan. He then goes and gets a different turkeys fan, 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.440 mounts that gives it to the old man. And never 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:42.000 tells the old man the truth. So the old man 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.399 when people come over his house, he's stuck in the 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.960 awkward position of pointing it to the on the wall 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.080 and being like, see that, and then telling all about 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:54.840 what happened, when in fact it's a lie. But the 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:56.800 old man is not stuck in that position because he 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.400 doesn't know. He doesn't know. The guy is like, am 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:07.240 I that immoral? What do you think? I think it's 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:12.200 keeping the peace, you know, between the parents, the divorced parents. 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.720 I'm reading that into it. I don't know. Oh, I'm 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:18.360 just guessing if that's the case. Though I agree with you, 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:22.800 if there really is at keeping the peace, that was 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:24.159 a part of it. I feel like he would have 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.159 said that it was a part of like that his 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:31.760 folks were divorced and now the ma know. I just 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:35.160 think he felt bad. Yeah, it's not like he's trying 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:40.040 to like preserve some little semblance of you know, some 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.760 little semblance of family, you know, dignity this left after 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:47.520 this tumultuous divorce. He's not laying out that level of trouble. 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:49.840 It all comes down to whether he can live with 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.520 his little white lie or not. I think that it's immoral, 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:59.159 and I would tell the old man. You might not 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:03.800 remember this. Are you innocuous? Do you remember? Well, let 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:05.400 me tell you a lie. Let me tell you something 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.320 that happened to me, and you'll know all the players 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:11.199 probably has something to do with something. So when we 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.760 were little, real little, you know, how daddies to take us, 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.639 like you could go fishing on your birthday. Yeah, it 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:23.000 was my flied. I don't remember that, like you would 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:24.919 often get the you would get the play hooky if 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:26.919 you wanted an ice fish on your birthday, because I 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:30.640 had a February birthday or whatever, different activities. He took 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:37.639 me out and a guy caught a big northern not not. 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.640 Our party was me and Dad and I think alcoholic 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:45.000 was with us and a guy do people know who 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:49.359 that is? No, you've introduced him before, but it's a 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:55.720 great name. But he would develop such a thirst. He 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:59.280 would develop such a thirst, uh during his outings that 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:04.040 he offered, couldn't had to get home. Um. Another guy 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:08.399 catches a pike and he doesn't want and Dad wants it, 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.479 wants it, so Dad takes it and it freezes up 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:15.320 like how they do. And my dad says to me 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:22.280 hey and throws it to me and I catch it. Uh, 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.639 and he says, you just caught a pike. And I 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:28.440 later told Ron Spring, who was a commercial bait fisherman. 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.359 Ron Spring made a living catching wigglers and digging worms 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:35.520 and catching mentals. I told Ron Spring, I caught a pike. 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:39.600 I don't I don't know if I if it's a 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:41.679 good use of our time to do a post mortem 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:45.600 on those two lies. But that one, that one seems 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:50.160 far worse. It's just I'm putting myself, Yeah, that's real bad. 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:53.480 But I'm putting myself in the role not of the dad. 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:55.960 I'm putting myself in the role of the sun where 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:59.400 he's living with a lie. But there's the whole bit 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:03.560 that that that the dad actually did get a turkey, 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:07.439 and it's just, yeah, you know you didn't get ship 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.280 and then you made it. I'm not putting myself in 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:11.840 the role to dad. I'm putting myself in the role. 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:14.320 And I it would have cost him anything to come 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:17.439 clean and be like, look, here's a deal. This is 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:19.359 what I did, is what happened. Let's go get another 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:22.159 turkey next spring. What I would do is record this 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:26.159 and send it to him. And let him put it 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:29.800 together or tell him after he gets into their turkey, 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:32.760 because maybe it won't be like you know, Pops, you'll 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:40.480 you'll appreciate this. Okay, let's get on what we're fixing 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.639 the talk about. Oh, not one last thing. Rand Williams 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:49.719 is here, yes, uh minus his pituitary gland. Yes. How 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:53.480 does it feel? Um? Are you as smart as he 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:58.720 used to be? No, I'm not really categorically not really. Yeah, 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:03.600 tell me more. Um, A lot of issues with memory 0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:08.160 and um, short term and long term memory. Yeah. Oh, 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:09.920 I didn't know. I was joking when I said that 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:14.280 we can cut this out. So you've been feeling you've 0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:18.160 been since since it's been it's been a pretty uh, 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:20.560 it's been a pretty rough road, just ups and downs. 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:22.040 But yeah, for I mean, I had a lot of 0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:26.240 symptoms that were pretty similar to like a traumatic brain injury. Really. Yeah, 0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:28.560 I wasn't worth of that the bad that I asked. 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:35.520 You know, I'm pretty upfront about it all. Are you replacement? Yeah, 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:38.760 I'm on. Um. I'm on a couple of different hormone 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:45.879 replacements like testosterone and thyroid hormone, and I take hydrocortison, 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:52.040 which replaces cortisol um. And then I've got stimulants, I've 0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:55.920 got antidepressants, I've got sleeping pills, I've got the whole mix. 0:22:56.000 --> 0:23:02.800 Are you serious? And and and growth hormone. So every 0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:08.560 morning I'm like Barry Bonds really, yeah, yeah, it's the 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.879 real deal. Oh, I mean I knew that this is 0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:13.040 a big deal, but I didn't know that you were. 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:16.119 Really I didn't know there's that much to it. Yeah, No, 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:19.560 it's been a pretty serious Uh, it's been been a 0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:26.000 pretty serious um struggle. But better than the alternative. I'm 0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:27.840 all good. Yeah, you're on the right side of the gray. 0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:29.520 He did get big, he did get a big bear. 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:32.720 I did, Yeah, I got a big bear. Um still 0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:38.159 hunting still, that's true. Yeah, I just meant in the 0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:44.240 general sense, I have tags for this, not yourder get 0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:48.320 in trouble. No, Yeah, it's been pretty crazy. I m 0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:51.119 start a new job around that time, and I had 0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:55.000 to postpone the start of that job for about a 0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:59.399 month while I went to California and got surgery. And yeah, 0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:03.040 so it's gonna learned a lot about the human body 0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:08.920 and a lot about myself. And uh, yeah, I didn't 0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:11.199 mean to make this so serious. No, you didn't. But 0:24:11.600 --> 0:24:16.080 I guess what's happened is you being so casual about it. 0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:19.760 It was like effective, Yeah, at least in the way 0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:21.520 you're putting it forth. You were putting it forth to 0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:23.320 your friends. That just seemed the casual about it. So 0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:25.159 I thought it was more casual than it is. No, 0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:27.959 I mean I've been uh, I mean I haven't. I 0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:32.280 haven't held any secrets, um, but I haven't really broadcast 0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:33.920 a whole lot of this stuff. I don't put any 0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:36.359 of that on social media or anything like that. But 0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:38.439 it's kind of hard to This is a little bit 0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:44.200 worse than the UM. Well, yeah, no, I mean it's 0:24:44.600 --> 0:24:47.520 some of the symptoms like I can't hide, you know, 0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:49.840 like sometimes for a while there, I was like crying 0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:52.520 all the time and just have very little control over 0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:55.480 my emotions and all that stuff. So do you enjoy 0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:59.320 movies more now? You know. I've always been a crier 0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:03.879 at the cinema, so that that hasn't changed much. But yeah, 0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:09.720 and it's pretty crazy all these chemicals and processes in 0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:14.840 your body, and UM kind of take for granted that 0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:21.440 at all works. But we're figuring it out, and luckily 0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:27.280 I've had a lot of help with that. So yeah, 0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:33.320 anything else, No, I'm typing something. I just feel like 0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:38.560 I'm at the doctor's office my symptoms, and you're taking notes. Um, 0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:41.919 if you read the doctor's office, another dude will come 0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:43.760 in here a minute and ask you the saint set 0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:48.040 of questions. And I didn't have a cope when I 0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:49.480 like I was saying, like I was saying to the 0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:54.000 other person that was just in here a minute ago. Yeah, No, 0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:57.040 I mean it's yeah, I mean just to some up. 0:25:57.080 --> 0:26:02.439 It's been tough, but it's all good. We're figuring it out. Damn. Yeah, Yeah, 0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:04.920 it's weird. Later I'll ask you if there's anything else 0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:12.080
