WEBVTT - Ep. 53: Leave the Mudshark, Take the Cannoli 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:08.840 I would answer the Brown Connoli question. That would have 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:11.840 been lights out to Catherine Frank, you play it cool. 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.440 They might even let you in on that hot color. 0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:17.360 Those kings are craving, which has been orange for the 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:21.280 last thirty five years or so. My knee jerk, initial 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:25.279 gut reaction. It's discomfort, it's distrust, it's fear. Oh, I 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.360 can learn how to tie a bimitate, but you can't 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:32.240 even tie a clinch knock. You know. Good morning, Degenerate 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.200 Angler is welcome to Bend the fishing podcast that hates 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:48.400 this song but agrees with the sentiment. I'm Joe Surmelie 0:00:49.200 --> 0:01:03.720 Miles Nulty, and I hate the Eagles many that's a 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.920 good one, so do I. And before you can even ask, 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:08.960 all right, I'm just gonna tell you that the theme 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:12.199 of the show um is a celebration of right coast 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:16.600 fishing and that there's nothing you can do about it. Man. Sorry, 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.319 that's what it is. That's the theme of like half 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:24.039 our shows. No it isn't. Yes, that's like, what is 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.679 it this week? Oh, we're gonna celebrate the East coast again. 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.120 Like when do I get to do a celebration of 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.600 Montana fishing? When does that happen? Never? Never, you know why, 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:37.840 because they're already like eight hundred thousand articles, are twenty 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:43.039 thousand books, forty bazillion YouTube videos, five million short films, 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.840 and like a Hollywood movie about that. Like I would say, 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.920 it's been covered um and and look, dude, nobody cares 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.240 about your western trout anymore. Okay, they're all dying. They're 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:58.400 all dying of heat, exhaustion and COVID. Yeah, I'm right. 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:00.880 In like ten years, Montana will be barren waste land 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:05.320 of just like common carbon gold eye. But here here, 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.040 out here on the east coast, we will still have 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:13.519 stripers and snakeheads and chad and mass and catfish mahi 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.120 we have them, pickerole, we have pike talg um. And 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.200 even if you traut when we get bored. So that 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.200 was that was, Are you done? Yeah? I can be. 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.520 I just think of us like we're like the like 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.639 the like in water world, like the one piece of 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.760 land that will be left out here. That was first 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.840 of all, that was a low blow. If I'm allowed 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:35.480 to talk now, because it's not funny your bleak, for 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.640 it's true, your whole bleak forecast about the cold water 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.720 fisheries in the state. It's said, it's all sad, like 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:45.840 you're making jokes about our pain. Thank you very much. 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:47.800 I've kind of made a career out of that. You 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:51.720 know what I'm saying. It sucks, man, Yeah, Like, let's 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.320 all have a good laugh at the fact that all 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.160 the fish are dying. I'm honestly just glad I'm not 0:02:56.200 --> 0:03:00.359 guiding anymore. That's that's my one true silver line, whatever 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.520 you wanna call it. I'm I now have the luxury 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.640 of choosing not to fish without going broke, and not 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.720 everybody can do that, and that just sucks. But I'm 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.480 going to step in now in defense of my adopted 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.840 home because I think you're selling the treasure stage short. 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.359 First number one, you you made this point without even 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.799 meaning to gold eye are bad ass, like you made 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.639 a jokeling comb and corp and gold eye. But gold 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.240 eye are sweet, sweet fish and I'm gonna do a 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.000 fin clips on them very soon because I'm willing to 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.560 be at least our audience has never even heard of 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.520 a gold eye, So probably for reminding me, you weren't 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.880 trying to do me a favorite, but you did. Second, 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.760 Montana has some of the best overlooked lake fishing in 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.800 the country. But because of all that oversaturated trout media 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.119 you mentioned, nobody comes here for anything but the non 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.600 native trout. So I'll tell you what, Come do a 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.280 b side with me. We will fish Montana without ever 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.920 seeing a trout or picking up a fly rod. That's 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.240 what we'll do, all right. In fact, to add on 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.400 to that, I think it would make a fantastic opportunity 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.160 for you to try out what you've been threatening to 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.720 use but not actually using. The coalition swim baits from 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:16.520 thirteen Fishing, which one the Bam, the Dean or the 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:21.800 Gil the bamp in golden retriever color for exactly that 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.520 one because it looks enough like a cisco the big 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.320 pike and smallmouth on a certain lake out here absolutely 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.960 destroy it. These baits because I know you don't know yet, 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.280 but they fish very similar to certain other molded swim 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.080 baits that will run nearly a hundred bucks each. But 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.200 you can get a coalition swim bait for less than twenty. 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.000 And I also know whether told you this, but I 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.159 think that the shadd eating stripers on your local rivers 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.360 will hammer these things. I think that they are going 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:54.120 to be like extremely effective over there next spring, You've 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.720 got to set aside. I know you love your like 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.479 fast aggressive plugging. I know it works, but I'm telling 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.080 you got tried some slower swim baits and see what happens, 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.080 because it could be a lot of fun. Well, I 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.320 got some news for you, big shooter. I already have 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:12.280 some of news, okay, but I just got them like midsummer, 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.920 so I haven't really gotten it chucked them yet. Um, 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:16.680 but I don't have to wait for spring. I don't 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.840 have to wait for spring. They'll they'll work in the 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.640 Isn't that when the shad run though, is in the spring? 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.760 That's that's when the shad run the river. That's river stripers. 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.560 But you know we have that whole awesome coastal migration 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.760 that happens twice a year too, So you know, maybe 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.440 I heard about that somewhere. I don't know, how are 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:38.960 the coastal migrations in Montana? So so so all those coalitions, uh, 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.880 they'll be playing in salt here with me this fall. Also, 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.280 thank you for bringing this back to the theme, which 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.840 is my side of the country, because look, I mean 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.400 I fished in Alaska, Florida, Montana, Idaho, wyom in Colorado, 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:54.600 Costa Rica, even Brazil that one time. And while I've 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.040 had a fantastic time in most of those places and 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.920 field just truly blessed and really fortunate, I've never taken 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.360 my travels for granted. Um, you know, I I still 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.560 can't believe I've experienced so many of those fisheries. All 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.080 that said, though I will never ever ever move away 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.400 from the East coast of the US. We won't do it. 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.719 What Here's what I don't get. Why are you always 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:21.560 so defensive about like You've been being way more defensive 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.200 in this podcast so far. I'm cool, calm and collected. 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.479 You're the one going off no, but like it's a 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.839 theme you've got, like this parochial sensitivity, and I don't 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.479 know where it comes from. Like I haven't said a 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.240 single derogatory word about your fisheries. I don't think ever 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:41.040 on the show, right, So it can't be me, is it? Phil? 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:46.400 Are you are you defending yourself against Phil? Hm? Oh, 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.960 I heard my name, So I'm guessing I'm supposed to 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:54.600 say something here, but I don't actually listen to much 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.040 of what you guys say. I have a running tally 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.440 a list of sine and terms you guys used for 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:07.480 catching fish, Like I've got hammering, whacking, bonking, augustus glooping, 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.600 and that's pretty much all I've retained. Honestly, I find 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.400 that I can just edit out all of your send 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:17.120 screw ups while multitasking and actually get something useful done. 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.200 Is for example, I just listed my two thousand four 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.040 Pokemon e X holographic fire red and leaf green articuno 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.600 on eBay, and man, I'm just gonna sit here and 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.480 watch those bids stack up to the moon, as they say, 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:34.480 but not bitcoin, just real money that I can actually use. See, 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.120 Phil doesn't even care enough to know what we're talking about. 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.239 He has no idea what we're saying. He's he's selling 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.480 things on I don't know what he's doing to Quoll, 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:48.120 my favorite movie. You really believe that there's some stored 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:52.800 up conflict that exists between us? There is no us. 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.680 We don't exist. So what do you want to hit? Man? 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.880 It's not me. See I'm gonna tell you though, why 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.320 you don't understand where I'm telling me and why you 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:09.280 can't relate because no one ships on the places you've lived, 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.520 no one makes jokes about Hawaii. That's still like a mecca. 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.480 I've never been a freaking Hawaii, right, I've never fished 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:20.000 in Hawaii. That's like some holy grail stuff. Nobody makes 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.320 fun of Montana, calling it like the arm pit of 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.080 the nation. Right, everybody wants to everybody wants to be 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.840 I made fun of Montana, but nobody's saying, like, man, 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:31.600 you want to talk about a ship hole, Let's go 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:35.880 to Bozeman. Like it's beautiful there. It's clean air, clean living, 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.320 beautiful mountains. So yeah, like I might be a little sensitive. Um, 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.280 what I really want is I just want all the 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:48.160 kids growing up in Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Delaware, Oh, no, Delaware. 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.840 But I want everyone else who lives in places that 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.000 aren't fishing famous to feel proud and lucky and to 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.200 know that like they don't have to travel a gazillion 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.440 miles or move away from their families to be serious anglers. 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.400 Like we you know, we have a we actually have 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.600 a whole new season at Doss Boat coming out in 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.640 just a few weeks that will further spread that very message. Um. 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.000 And one of the main characters of that new season, 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.679 which we've hinted at already here on bent Uh is 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.960 a guy who makes a perfect ambassador for East Coast fishing. 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.120 My good friend Captain Frank Crest Telly, who also happens 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.480 to be the first guest on today's show. He's in 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.160 the trivia hot seat. You've gotta be highly skilled for 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:28.360 these shows. You understand that you're well versed there. You're 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:34.000 very smart man, all right, playing trivia today? Are good 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.040 friend Captain Frank Crest Telly. Frank? What's going on? Man? 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.840 How are you are you guys doing? Nobody can see 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.760 you with us, and you look cautiously nervous. There's nothing 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.640 to me, so you know, there's nothing at stake in 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:49.000 our You win nothing, you lose nothing except maybe some 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:53.080 street cred or something like that. Yeah, the street cred 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.080 is important because so everybody knows. So you uh, you 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.439 fish around New York City, you're from Staten Island. You're 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.440 a New York white kind of guy. You're New York, 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:02.880 New York state of mind when you're fishing most of 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:07.200 the time. Oh yeah, oh yeah, which is important because 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:11.079 I tried to always craft questions for trivia, like really 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.320 tailored them to the guests, and I gotta tell you 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.680 I'm not that worried about you losing dignity at least 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.040 on the first question, because I think you're gonna get it. 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.480 But I think you're gonna get it. But everybody will 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.760 understand why. I think this is such a great question 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:28.680 for the Bent program. Um, So we're gonna, we're gonna 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.120 We're gonna stick with a New York theme for your question. 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.199 For the record, Frank, I don't know Joe's is running 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:38.000 this segments, has no idea what so, so we're in this. 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:42.080 So this is like Saturnite Live, the the news section. 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.600 They're right, you don't know what jokes wrote or whatever, 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.760 just as professional and hilarious a Saturday Ight Live, Yes, 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.280 the good Saturday Night Live from the nineties, not whatever 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.560 the hell they're they're doing now. I don't even know 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.880 who's on that anymore anyway. Okay, so let's let's play 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.400 some trivia. Here's where we're gonna start. Here's your first question. 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.560 Are you ready? Frank, I am ready. I have no 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:08.199 buzzer or anything. No buzzer, no buzzer. Are We'll take 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.200 care of that later. Fill our audio engineer will put 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.400 a buzzer in for you. Don't worry. Al Right, here's 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:18.000 question number one. Capital Tackle in New York City lays 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.000 claim to being the oldest tackle shop in America. It 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:25.080 was first opened in eight and focused mostly on cutlery, 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.200 but over time grew into a thriving fishing tackle retailer. 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.320 During its one hundred and twenty four year history, Capital 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:36.520 has changed locations several times. In nineteen sixty four, the 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:41.040 owners relocated the shop to the space directly under which 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.920 of the following iconic New York City buildings? Before I 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:53.959 give you the choices, can you answer that without multiple choice? No? Really? Oh, Frank? Okay, alright, alright, alright, alright, 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.800 here we go. So here the funny thing about people 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.120 from Staten Island. You didn't go to New York City 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.760 a lot, okay, but you know of Capital Tackle. So 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.240 here's your choice. Certain Capital yep? So was it under 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.880 a the flat Iron building, be the Hotel Chelsea, see 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:15.160 the war Worth Building or D one Pen Center. Mm hmm. 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.280 So I know they used to be in Chelsea at 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:22.880 one point, like twenty three or something. I will add 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.360 this isn't necessarily their current location. This is at one 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:32.800 point they were under think right, we're going with Woolworth 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:39.160 war Worth Building. See that is incorrect. The answer. The 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:43.719 answer is b. It was located underneath the Hotel Chelsea. Um. 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.120 And for yes, and for those of you unaware, right, 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.120 that is rife with music history. Miles, I know you 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:53.000 know the Chelse Jim Morrison, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, they 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.559 all did extended stays there. It's also where Sid Vicious 0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:01.880 of the Sex Pistols supposedly murdered his girlfriend Nancy Bunget. Yes, 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.480 and Nancy the movie that's where it was set. Anyway, 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.719 it is. It is a killer shop. I've been there, 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:08.840 though not in the Chelsea location because they moved again 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.760 in two thousand six. Um. But it's so weird to 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:16.040 be in Manhattan looking at this massive selection of everything, 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.959 every tuna plug, every bastlord, everything, the latest and greatest 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.040 right there. And um actually once read this great article 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.959 about it, about all the non fishing weirdos that come 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.040 in there and the things that they buy because they 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.480 cater to all kinds of clients. So man, I know, 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.680 I know, I know that the Staten Island crowd doesn't 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.880 play in Manhattan that much, but for some reason I 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:43.960 figured I think, yeah, I'm starting off to a very 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:48.360 good story. Well hopefully this will be a little bit better. Um, 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:52.040 because this one, this one's about cannoli's. So the last 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.720 time I hung out with you, when we when we 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.800 parted ways, we parted on a cannoli. You presented a 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.839 box of cannolis from Staten Island, and um, that had 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.560 really pretty baker string on it, which you cut open 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.240 with a stiletto like you just popped out a switchblade 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:11.000 to cut the twine off the cannoli's, which was so fitting. 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:15.920 And I gotta say, I know, but it should have been. Um, 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.000 But I'll tell you what man like driving home with that, 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.240 I was driving down Long Bee Child and eating a cannoli. 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.120 It was the best cannoli I've ever had in my 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:26.280 entire life. So that's that's what we're going for. Your Italian. 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.240 You know your cannoli. So let's do let's do a 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.920 little cannoli trivia, because why not? All right? I got 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.280 a lot of good cannoli stories, by the way, Oh 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.680 really I'm interested in those. We'll save those for another 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.480 show though. So here's your question. The cannoli comes from Sicily. 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.000 Everyone agrees on that, and they estimated to merge between 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:46.840 eight and but historians say the exact origin of the 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.520 of the dessert is up for debate. Two theories have 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.120 emerged as the most likely scenario. So, I'm gonna give 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.080 you three options for the origin of the cannoli. You 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.440 have to tell me which of these three is made up. 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.720 One of these is fake. So a during the Arabic 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.520 rule of the island of Sicily, concubines in the Arab 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:07.320 Prince's harem would prepare lavish meals, which included cylinder shaped 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.880 pastries filled with ricotta, almonds, and honey. Uh. Second option, 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.520 canolis were invented by field hands that worked the olive 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.720 groves and needed a meal that was easy to carry, 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.440 and they didn't get sweet until later. They started out 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.360 as pastry filled with ricotta and whatever protein like fish 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:25.520 or mutton was available or be Nuns invented the cannoli 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:29.160 in a Sicilian convent when they filled pastry shells with ricotta, sugar, 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.320 and chocolate and almonds for carnival celebration similar to Mardi 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:37.360 Gras just before Lent. One of those is not a 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:41.720 proposed origin of the cannoli. Okay, I'm gonna go with 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:47.040 the the olives with the uh, you know, the that 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.440 had other proteins in there. That's correct, that's the fake answer. 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.440 That is the fake answer. So you don't know anything 0:15:53.440 --> 0:16:00.840 about tackle in Manhattan, but the man knows. Man being 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:04.000 down to would have been a tremendous amount of pressure. Well, 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.360 what's what's the quote, leave the gun, take the cannoli. Yeah, 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:11.320 that's you took the cannoli and left the tackle. If 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.600 I would answered the wrong Cannoli question, it would have 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:25.200 been lights out for Captain Frank. You and Frank should 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:29.240 do a Cannoli tour of New York. I would watch 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.720 that and we do like we met either we do 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:35.000 food shows, right, food shows are popular. People like food shows. 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:36.560 We could we get it? Could we do one? Could 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.920 we get away with that? First of all, I worked 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.280 in New York for ten years, and now, especially with 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.400 the fact that it's like a crime filled baron waste 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:46.200 land post COVID, that's I'm not going to New York 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:47.920 for Cannoli's. It has to be a life or death 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.880 situation to go into Manhattan right now. But also I 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.480 don't think that would work at all because per Vice 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.800 and several other media outlets. I don't think you can 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.120 you can talk about cooking or eating on TV unless 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.400 you have tech two sleeves, which I don't know what 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.760 I mean. Maybe you could get the sleeves going, or 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.560 maybe maybe your kids could pay them on for you, 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:13.000 like little like temporary ones, and your kids some very tattoos. 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.680 They're covered in him. It's ridiculous, but I'll look, I'll 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:17.520 least give you this much like, there are really only 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.879 two things I'm good at in my life. That's fishing 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.840 and eating, So maybe you never know. I also believe 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:24.639 I'm pretty good at beating your ass in the weekly 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:29.840 internet search competition we like to call fish news. Fish 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:37.040 news that escalated quickly kicking off fish News. This week, 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:41.000 I'm giving a shout out to Coast to Sunglasses. Yeah, 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.440 Coast does occasionally run ads on our show, But what 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.080 what I'm What I'm gonna say right now has absolutely 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:51.880 nothing to do with any sponsorship or partnership or advertising. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.280 They're not paying me to influence you in any way. 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:57.840 I know, I know we live in a strange world 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.080 of advertorial prostitution, but that not what this is about. 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.719 I really just want to give them credit for an 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.600 idea and a product that I think is exceptional. So 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:10.520 Coasta partnered with a company called Burreo, who collects discarded 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.000 nets from subsistence fishing communities in South America and then 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:18.640 recycles them into quality raw plastics. Discarded fishing nets are 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:23.680 one of, if not the biggest contributor to ocean plastic pollution. 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.440 So far, Barreo is collected about five and a half 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:31.919 million pounds of discarded plastic nets Coasta. Right, Coasta is 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:36.840 using some of that plastic to make sunglasses. They got 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.280 their Untangled series which are all made from those nets, 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:42.840 and they actually started doing this a few years ago. 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.320 And I loved the idea, but the only styles they 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.000 had were those like flat square frames. Yeah, I remember 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.320 when this was a big drop at I cast that year. 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:52.359 It was it was a cool idea, but I'm like, 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:55.280 you need more styles. Yeah yeah, But I'm not wearing 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.920 that because I mean, maybe that works for the fashion 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.560 conscious crowd, but that's not me. I don't. I don't 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:04.959 wear anything but wraparounds basically ever, because I want to 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.120 actually block the sun for one and two, I want 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:10.080 to stop hooks from flying into my eye holes. Well, 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.520 Coast had just released a series of wraparound frames made 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:18.280 from the Barreo recycled nets, and they're fantastic. I have 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:22.640 They're really they're excellent right coast of lenses or top 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:26.520 of the line. But the truth is, like most high 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.320 end sunglasses these days have quality lenses there I'm not 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.240 I'm not gonna get into which one is slightly better 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:34.000 than the other. There are a lot of good lenses 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.439 out there, but the fact that Coast is now selling 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:41.440 their lenses in performance frames made from discarded fishing nets 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:44.760 to me that that's another level. Like, I think they're great. 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:46.760 So if you're in the market for a pair of shades, 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:50.920 I recommend checking those out. Joe, you got anything this week? No, 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:53.159 I just add to that that I'm I I have 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.760 not gotten a pair for myself yet, but just looking 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.240 at them compared to the old style, much more excited 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:00.359 about these. And I didn't dislike the old ones, but 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.399 I'm like, these are like yachtwear more so than fishing 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.600 you know, um other shout outs. The only thing, well, 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.360 the only thing I'll say, just just so that everybody 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:12.040 understands that we are listening to you, even if we 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:14.960 don't always respond. Thanks to the ten million people who 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:18.679 sent me the link to Rusty Van Ranch on Instagram. 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:21.080 They were like, you think that Nick Bailey dude tricked 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.120 out his tuggy. This dude put like a freaking jet 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:28.159 ski motor in his and he's ripping like fifty. So 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.000 now I'm touring because like, do I send my son's 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:33.800 tuggy to Nick or Rusty Van Ranch? I haven't decided yet. 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.639 I mean that the price is gonna matter, but but 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:40.879 thank you received. Okay, got it? Tuggies. The people have 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.040 been asking us to make like a Bent tuggy shirt 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:44.920 and I'm like, well, we haven't even made a Bent 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:48.880 Bent shirt yet. That's a whole other story. But like, yeah, 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:52.360 maybe so just maybe Tuggies inundated. That's all I got 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:56.760 nothing else this week? All right, Well, quick reminder, this 0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.399 is a competition. Joe and I have no idea what 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:01.440 stories the other bring to the table. And at the 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:08.359 end are miraculously resurrected audio engineer who's who's recovering nicely 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.680 in case you're worried. He's recovering nicely from his little 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:13.560 boating incident and they gave him three and he sees 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.760 a brisk ice tea and now he's fine. That's the 0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:20.080 best part the whole thing. He almost has complete use 0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:23.320 of three toes. It's it's really coming together. At the 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:25.680 end of this, he's gonna choose a winner. I am 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:29.160 up first this week, and I've got a new invasive 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:33.520 fish species to report in Texas. Lay it on me. 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:38.320 Earlier this summer, the first silver carp was confirmed in 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.639 Choctaw Creek, a tributary of the Red River, which is 0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:45.480 itself a tributary of the Mississippi River. Silver black and 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:47.200 big head carp have been making their way up the 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.680 Mississippi for years, so it's no surprise that they found 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:54.480 their way up to Texas. Wildlife officials have been anticipating 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:57.280 this for quite some time. Big head carp were confirmed 0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:00.119 in the Red River a couple of years ago. I 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:02.600 now most, if not all, of you know why these 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:06.000 fish are a problem. They're prolific, fast growing, and nearly 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:09.040 impossible to get rid of, and they disrupt ecosystems by 0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:12.880 consuming huge quantities of plankton, algae, and micro invertebrates, which 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:15.800 are the base of any water bodies food chain. Native 0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:19.439 bait fish like shad and juvenile sport fish like bass 0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:22.320 depend on the same food source, so we know it's 0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:25.320 we know it's a problem. Choctaw Creek dumps into the 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:30.119 Red River just fifteen miles downstream of Dennison Dam. Dennison 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:34.800 is a non navigable dam, meaning that no infrastructure exists 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:39.560 for boat or fish passage upstream. And while usually these 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.440 kinds of dams are detrimental to native fishes, in this 0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:46.280 particular case, this is like the bulwark. This is what's 0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:50.600 stopping them from getting into Lake Texoma and potentially harming 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:55.199
