That's good, that's very good. Well, 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:19.120 thank you for being here, Mrs Bailey, and good job Bailey. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.240 You are welcome to stay in here or y'all can 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:33.080 y'all can leave. Let's roll. Good job Bailey, Good job GIU. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.559 Except for we would like to discourage all comments, um 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:42.440 that are me towards Clay which oh that is monitoring. 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.159 I'm gonna I'm gonna put on every post I ever make. 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:48.760 I'm gonna put on every post I ever make, an 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.240 asterisk that says Juju is watching. Be nice to me. 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:57.240 Can we just start a hot hashtag watching watching? I 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.400 think you gotta just have her respond to all the comments. Okay, 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.840 I've always thought back in the day, when Clay was 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:08.000 making videos bear hunting videos, people would leave the worst comments, 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.440 I mean the worst, the meanest. Those those I guess 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.440 it's pete to people I don't know, but they're terrible, 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.160 and they would say things like your mom should be 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.720 the hammer. I mean they would they wouldn't say horrible 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.960 things about like violent things that should be done to 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.479 our kids or to Clay's mom, and they would curse 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.719 your And I thought it would be nice to have 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.640 Juju read those comments out loud and just have a 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.520 video of Juji reading these, you know, not nice in 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.359 the sense of like, oh this is heartwarming, but just 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.839 so that they realized, like Juju is a really sweet person, 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:40.840 and before you say mean things about her and her grandkids, 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:47.880 you should probably realize who you're talking about. Yeah, that's great. Well, so, uh, 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.000 I'll tell you something I've got a few little little 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.400 things I want to go through on this episode. We're 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.480 going to talk about this the secret episode, the bonus 0:05:56.520 --> 0:06:00.280 episode of the what became a four part series on 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:04.480 Our Secret Agent Man where we had Artie Stewart undercover 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:08.840 wildlife agent. And then the bonus episode when I met 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.520 I went and met with Claude Maxwell in Ohio was 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.320 referred to as Target number two only, which is a 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.400 which is a major deal, really major deal. Kind of 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.159 a sensitive deal in a way too. So. But before 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:27.280 we get to that, um lots of bear grease hats, 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.520 sightings in the wild. It's incredible. Yeah, it started off 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.560 with the guy on the on the Bengals in Kansas 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:37.760 City Chiefs game. I don't know that it started off 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:39.680 that way. I feel like that's more of an apex, 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.640 kind of an apex, right right right. It started out 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:47.559 with good every day, hard working Americans buying bear grease 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.159 hats and wearing them. And then one of those good 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:57.480 hard working, everyday Americans went to an NFL game, got spotted, 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:02.279 got spotted, and then and then another guy was watching 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:06.599 a hockey game, a hockey game, and there's a Burgharas 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.640 guy just giving him heck and uh, and so I 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.680 put that. I put that online too, and then the 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:16.000 comments are just full of people saying, hey, I saw 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.040 a guy with the Burghera's hat and we went and 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.280 talked and listen to this. Missy and I went to 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:27.960 Cabella's two days ago because I was I thought this 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.280 is a pretty good story too. Well, I hope this 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:35.480 person is listening. We're at Cabella's and we're in we're 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:40.040 in line and a Cabella's worker goes, I like your 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.280 hat and I said thanks, and I kind of thought 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.440 maybe it was it was a lady. I thought she 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.440 might just like the design. And I just said hey, thanks, 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.360 and I just kind of kept walking and she says 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:54.480 that's one of my favorite podcasts, and I just I 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.480 just said, oh cool, yeah, yeah, and we kept walking 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:03.320 and Misty was like, don't tell her. Uh and then uh, 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.600 I thought that was pretty cool and uh she recognized 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.800 the hat with the you know the podcast and I responded, 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:18.400 it's a mediocre. I mean, it's got a lot of runway. 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.320 Who was who was telling? Uh? Was it was it? 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.800 Did you too? That just told us the story about someone? Yeah? 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.720 What did she say? Two people ran into each other? 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:31.840 That we're both wearing him and this story has told. 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.320 This story was told to her by a person who 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.240 was with one of the people wearing the hats. He 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.640 said that two guys, one that he knew and one 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.120 that he didn't, ran into each other and they started 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.200 talking to each other like it was a different language. 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.200 Does he want the hat now? Is he trying to 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.880 get in on the hat train? Who the guy who 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.840 related the story? Why did she get a hat? She 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:55.640 was getting a hat for some reason. It wasn't for 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:59.320 that guy. Okay, somebody got a hat though. I went 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.640 on a trip this weekend. Flew down to Texas. Friday morning, 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.280 five thirty at the airport. There's a guy sitting there 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.920 with a bear grease hat. Saturday night, Rockport, Texas. Eating 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:10.680 at a Mexican restaurant. A guy comes in with a 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:14.440 bear grease hat. Really, what do you order? We left 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.720 before they ordered. He was he was very appreciative, very 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.320 polite young man. Maybe his name was Trevor. I asked it, 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.719 and I was like, I'm gonna remember this. I don't 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:27.200 know Trevor from Rockport, Texas. How did you approach this guy? 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:31.679 I said, Hey, this is weird. That's that's though, if 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.439 a guy has a bear grease hat on, he wants 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:39.920 somebody to come up and fist bumping and grow up. Yes, yeah, yeah, 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.600 he received it. Well, that's great. I love it. I 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:46.400 love it. Third thing on the list the Moose episode 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.960 on me. Did you enjoy it? That was one of 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.960 the better episodes. Why was it? People have said that, 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.520 They're like, why, it was just because you because you 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.400 can't trust people who know you. You can't. You can't 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.679 even trust you herself. Josh, certainly of the hunt, the 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.240 idea of the hunt, the fact that it's so remote, 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:08.959 it's such a such a it's it's the kind of 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:10.520 hunt that not a lot of people will get to 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.120 do in their lives. And then you go for nine 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:17.720 days and you got jack nothing, and then you get 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.480 that last minute. I mean it was like it was 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.079 like it was set up, you know what I mean 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.280 talking about Yeah, Like I didn't even remember we had 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.240 that conversation when I said, man, I thought it was 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.440 your year like that that wasn't I mean, none of 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.920 these scenes were set up scenes. Literally, we were having 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.079 that conversation and there were two dudes behind us and 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.240 we didn't know filming us, but we kind of knew him, 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:44.199 but like that, that is what someone who set up 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.439 a hunt to succeed would say, Can we trust you? 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.760 Did you plant the moose there? Oh? I think you 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.720 may have. I think you packed in the moose and 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.440 you planted it just in case helicoptered in a movie. 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:03.800 That's all. I'm dropped him in there. What's what's funny 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.640 is that when you started saying stuff like that, like 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:12.720 people are gonna believe it. Yeah, absolutely, we've inter helicopter. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.440 I think you should cut that out there. Okay, Well, 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.439 what's funny is that I actually posted a video on 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.760 the TikTok of me and Ranella in Alaska at the 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:28.560 airport and a Chinook helicopter comes in. True story, Chinook 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.440 helicopter comes in. I video it. I turned the camera 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.319 to Ranella and I say, that's the way we're getting 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:38.000 in there, right, And he says that's the way, which 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.280 it is clearly not true. This is a U. S. Military, 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.320 Like I want to say, they said it was a 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:47.040 twenty million dollar helicopter, and so I joked that that's 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.280 what was taken us in and he said, that's how 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:53.200 we helicoptered in the animals. It was a joke. People 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.839 believe it, well, I don't know it was on it's 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.280 on the talk. I think it can only be beneficial 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:02.319 to have people out there talking about it, spreading rumors. 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:06.160 Then people go watch the episode, bumps up. There's no 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.800 bad press. So I'm getting to the Dollar build. Dad, 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.320 did you see the episode yet? What do you think? 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:18.439 I didn't like it? You didn't? Whoa, because I'm sleepy. 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.640 I want to take a nap. You want to take 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.640 a nap right now? I'm retired, man, I'm not used 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:29.320 to working. No, No, it was. It was excellent. It 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:33.160 was excellent. Uh you know when you told the story, 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.160 I'm trying to think where I heard the story. You 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:40.160 told that y'all were in camp ready to go packed up, 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:47.439 and Ronella said, I'm going to the possum front. Yeah Bill, yeah, um. 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.480 And they didn't tell that part. Yeah, you know. To me, 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:58.400 you know that that was a highlight. Actually it was. 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:02.520 It was real good without it. But I enjoyed that 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.400 part because it tells you a lot about Ronnella. Why 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:09.160 he is where he is is. I mean, you're worn out, 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.520 you've been there ten days. This guy still fired up, 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:15.520 wanting to kill something. Yeah, his instincts took him to 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.840 the exact correct spot yep, and then turns it over 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.240 to you. So yeah, and I thought the same thing 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.640 that I really wish they had included that, because if 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.960 you remember the story that I told about that moose hunt, 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.839 we were all but like packing up to leave, like 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.319 we're done. We'd already like shot the ending scene of 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:39.960 the video and we're going home after nine days with 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:44.679 no moose and like really discouraged, and then just on 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:46.760 a whim, we don't even have time to kill a 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:51.240 moose because the planes are coming, and Rannella, it wasn't me. 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.040 I mean, I I was done. Was there some particular 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:57.120 reason that he went to that spot? Just it was 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.160 no been there in a few days, okay, but it 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.040 was the it was the worst spot we had to, 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.880 like we never we've never seen a bull moose there 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.959 for some reason, but we just hadn't been there in 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.120 a couple of days. And so he was just like, 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.840 I'm gonna walk up to the porcupine. And then I 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.760 was like, well, how far was it? Probably half mile, 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.240 so it would have been just as a whole lot 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.320 easier just to kick back weight on the airplane you 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:28.560 get there and nap. Yeah, like I thought. Yeah, it 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:32.800 was we were done, man, like done. And because even 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.240 earlier that day the producer had said, hey, we really 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:40.960 can't kill a moose anymore because wait, so how did 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:45.880 you resolve it then? Man, Ronnell is dead serious about hunting, 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.440 like he was just like, we'll figure it out. Yeah, 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.080 and I don't think we're really planning to kill one. Sure, 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.440 but like I mean, because the planes were coming and 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.160 you shot one, did you just tell the planes got you? Well, 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.480 So the way it worked is the planes were coming 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:03.280 in the more and it was late in the evening. 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.400 They aren't real fast, and everybody was involved well, and 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.600 we were able to bump the plane back, which we 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.080 didn't think we could do because the moose season ended, 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.400 so all the hunters they had out, we're all trying 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.040 to get home and so it was real. It was like, 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.480 well they may not be able to get you out. 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.760 Uh if you if you lose your spot, it maybe 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.520 two days before they can come get you. So that's 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:26.960 what they were worried about it. But it just the 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:28.680 way it worked out. We were able to say, hey, 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.280 come it come later in the day and they were 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.600 like that's no problem. So it ended up working out, 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.560 but it was it was pretty incredible. But the antlers 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.760 look awesome up on the wall in there, Yeah, they do. 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.480 They do. So this is what I wanted to talk 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.800 about though. In a picture that's on the f h 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:48.040 F Gear Instagram page, there's a picture me glass and 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:52.040 in Alaska and I've got I've got my big puffy 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.600 jacket on, and I've got their new bino harness, which 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.400 they've got a new bino harness they're coming out with. 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.520 And at the top of that Botto harness you'll see 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:03.680 a dollar bill and the American dollar bill. And somebody 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:07.880 zoomed in and spotted that American dollar bill and I 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:12.400 I wanted to explain why that was there. It was 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:16.040 the just randomly I found it in my pocket while 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.520 I was hunting. We're in the back country for nine 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:22.880 days with like six people, and I had the thought 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:28.120 that if things go to pot and they don't come 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:32.800 to get us, that this dollar bill, it would be 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.960 the start of a great novel. You with me, six 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.400 people in the wilderness, that they would find on your 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:46.760 one thing that represents the the lost civilization that has 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.240 now been destroyed let's say let's say let's say we're 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:53.880 out in the wilderness, the apocalypse happens and the earth 0:16:53.960 --> 0:17:00.240 is destroyed. Everybody's dead except for us because we're way 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:03.560 in the back country. And whatever got us didn't think 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:08.160 about us in the back country. This American dollar bill, 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.119 this is this is the start of a novel. And 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:14.040 it's called the American dollar Bill. And and this is 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.440 what happens when you're in the back country too long. 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:21.320 So this dollar bill then, because we have to build 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:26.480 a whole new like like human order amongst like the 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.280 six of us, you know, and whoever has the dollar 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:33.400 bill has the power of the castle. Yeah, And so 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:41.399 the novel is about that nap sounding a whole lot better. 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:48.200 Is this a sequel to American Buffalo? In some ways 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:52.920 we talked about this NonStop. My novel about the treachery, 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:59.320 backstabbing in every character would reveal a part of human 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.320 nature that is in eight in people. But at the 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.920 end there would be like some massive redemption because it's 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:11.840 bargaries with me. That was the main reason I kept 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:15.040 the dollar bill close. But the second practic, a little 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.359 more functional reason, was I said I would give that 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.320 dollar to anybody that could find me a black bear 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:23.440 that I could shoot. Yeah, I had a black bear attack. 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.160 You keep the dollar. Nobody found me a black bear. 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:28.880 We saw a black bearar was too far so didn't qualify. 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:30.440 I was like, I got to have a black bear 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:34.200 that's like in range, you know that I could actually 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:36.359 take And if you find me that bear. This dollar 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.880 bill is yours. Do you still have it? I think 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:45.000 I spent it. Cold coke have more value up there 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:57.640 in Alaska. Josh, tell us about your recent I have 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:03.879 reached uh microlebrity celebrity startom. I was down at the 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.400 down at the river the other day on last weekend 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:11.080 fly fishing and h the fish were biting. Good man, 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.920 We're just pull them out, right. But I moved down 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:16.760 to a new section and to drive up a little 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:18.040 bit where I was at and I moved down to 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:21.480 a new section. Can you drop me a pen? I'll 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:25.000 put it on Instagram page. I moved down to a 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:26.639 little section. There was a guy fishing on the other 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:27.920 side of the river, and I, you know, I gave 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.320 him a few yards so he could catch some fish there. 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.640 But I noticed as I was walking down he wasn't 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.399 catching any fish and I just I walked into the 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.680 water and just went bam, bam bam. Caught three fish 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.200 right back to back. And he goes, man, you're on fire. 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:41.840 And I said, I said, well, you know, I told 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:43.400 him what I was fishing with. I said, try this. 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.440 I said, they're biting these really good. So so tie 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:49.360 one of those on if you got one, and uh 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.080 he he fishes and he did. I pulled another one 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:55.760 out and he goes, he goes, is your name, Josh? 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:59.720 I was like, uh yeah, and he goes. He goes, 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:04.920 like as in the land Bridge. I was like, I thought, 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:09.560 I recognized your voice. Yeah, he recognized you. He recognized 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:13.040 my voice. He goes, he goes, Bear Grease, my favorite 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:18.480 podcast man. His name with Stokes. He was swearing a hat, 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.840 but not a Bear Grease hat. You hate to see it. 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:26.040 That's good to hear, that's great to hear. I'm living large, 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:30.359 living larch, living large. Next thing on list, Brent Reeves 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:36.440 is hunting my dog, hoot hoot Brent. So I we 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.400 live in the in the Ozarks, in the mountains. And 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:41.879 if you were if you were explaining this to a 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:47.000 kid and you were talking about the the the bio, 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.560 I swear I'm looking for, like the bio productivity of 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:54.719 a region. Okay, you would, you would essentially be talking 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:58.679 about at a real foundational level, the richness of the 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:05.520 soil literally translates into the how many how many animals 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:09.120 and the carrying capacity of the land for all kinds 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:12.880 of stuff like the size of trees, the amount of raccoons, 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:17.119 the amount of deer, the amount of waterfowl, how big 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:20.159 deer antlers are. It all goes back to the soil. 0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:25.560 Well in the Ozarks. The Ozarks, my friends, are is 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:32.600 an eroded plateau, an uplifted plateau that was was bumped 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:36.440 when the South American continent bumped into the North American continent. 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:41.520 This is I'm going to start a new podcast called 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:54.000 orogeny mountain forming process. Okay, So the the the the 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:58.119 spring Field, It's called the Springfield Plateau, which was bulged, 0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:03.119 a bulged sex and of land that eroded. So the 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:05.720 Ozarks were formed by erosion, which means all the good 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:14.520 stuff left. Now I'm fully in. But where exactly where 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:20.040 it went into the to the to the Gulf coastal region, 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:26.160 the the the basically the Mississippi River Delta. It literally 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:33.159 formed the dirt of Louisiana. Okay, come on, And so 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:36.360 the raccoon hunting is better down there. That's exactly as 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:39.480 I wish you were down there hunting, because I've had 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:42.800 to had this call through the hides that were left, 0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:45.879 and I only got enough for four more hats. We'll 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:48.399 talk about that in a second. So Brent lives in 0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:52.200 the Delta region of Arkansas. So Arkansas would be split 0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:56.600 into like the mountainous regions in the Delta region, which 0:22:56.640 --> 0:23:00.200 would be influenced by the great rivers of the heart 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:04.920 Land of America, the primary river being the Mississippi River, 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:09.159 but also the White River, um Arkansas, Black River, Arkansas 0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:14.960 River River, Cash Money River. And so Brett hunts in 0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:16.800 the flat country where there's a ton of coons. So 0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:19.160 he took my dog. I said all that to say, 0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:26.239 you know, life's connected, Josh, It's connected, is why it's 0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:30.520 a terrible word. Mountain. Look at this, hold on. I've 0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:33.080 got a book here that it would explain it all 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:39.919 more than one. The Appalachian Wash, it all orogen in 0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:42.119 the United States. See that textbook right there, that's as 0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:46.240 thick as your thigh. Never read it, but it's it 0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:51.520 has that word mountainforming processes. Brett, you're hunting, hoot? How's 0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:55.440 she doing? She did good night before last. I went 0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:57.320 over to the farm. We cut her loose, or I 0:23:57.400 --> 0:24:00.200 cut her loose. Man, she hunt gets you on it 0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.760 out three hundred three and fifty yards, made a big loop, 0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:06.840 kind of bumps something a little bit, may have been 0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:08.399 a deer, may have been a rabbit. I don't know 0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:11.240 what it was, which she barked a little bit. But 0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:13.359 it's good he doesn't, you know, it doesn't really matter. 0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:16.600 She's got all the tools. If it all has got 0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:20.520 all the tools. The only other thing that that you 0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:22.919 need is the desire for it to go, and she 0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:25.919 has that desire to go. So even if she's chasing 0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:28.320 off game, I can fix I can fix it, yeah, 0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:32.520 because she's got the hunt. You're halfway there. So we 0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:35.560 go out and she comes back and move over to 0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:38.000 a different spot and turn loose. And it's cold, man, 0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:40.520 And there a lot of folks up north hunt when 0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:43.119 it's below freezing stuff in their tree and coons on 0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:46.280 the outside of trees. But that down here, if it 0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:50.240 gets below thirty two, coons get scarce on the outside. 0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:52.920 In the delta in the delta appear. It's a little 0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:56.160 different in the delta, is all I'm speaking about right now. 0:24:57.000 --> 0:24:59.680 So and if it gets twenty eight, if it's eight 0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:02.120 and below, if you catch a coon on the outside, 0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:04.440 he's probably laying dead on the highway, I mean, because 0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:07.320 it's you just don't see him out there. That they're 0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:10.399 into then to stay warm. So it's man, it's hovering. 0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:15.479
