Two episodes ago we 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:08.120 did a podcast called The Unusual Death of Melvin Bucky Garrison. 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.359 And so I was with Evan and Okema, Oklahoma, and 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:15.880 we were with Evan's friend, now, my friend, Andrew Stubbs. 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.800 Andrew was eating some cottage cheese and peaches at the 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:23.480 Shonees buffet and a very young man, a very young 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.680 man who spends a lot of time at Shoney's, incredible 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:31.360 horse trainer cattleman, like a real cowboy. And I was 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.520 talking to him about some of the outlaw stuff on 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.680 Bear Grease, and he was talking to me about some 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.120 of the outlaw episodes and he goes he goes, hey, 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.600 there was a game word and killed over here by 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.480 an old outlaw. And I said really, and he said, 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.560 oh yeah. He said everybody knows that. Everybody talks about it. 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:52.160 In the nineteen seventies, Bucky Garrison got killed over around 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.920 Tiger Mountain on Lakey Falla and I was like, for 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:59.720 real and he said, yes, Well I immediately text Hank 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.560 g so you know when I leave. Hank Jinks is 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.600 a wildlife officer in Oklahoma. I say, does the name 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:09.040 Bucky Garrison mean anything to you? And he was like, 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.280 oh yeah, he's like I was talking about Bucky Garrison today. 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:18.479 And it turns into a really interesting episode where there's 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:22.680 a mysterious drowning of a young, healthy game wardan in 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.560 Oklahoma December twenty sixth, nineteen seventy one, and he drowns 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.200 in two and a half to three feet of water 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:34.560 and it is deemed a accidental drowning by the authorities. 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:39.040 But everybody in that part of the world, if you 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.880 just walk down the street and you said who killed 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.400 what happened to Bucky Garrison, they would say this guy, 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.200 you know, and I'm not going to say his name kill. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.480 This cause he's never been he's never been he's never 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.159 been prosecuted. 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:54.600 That's right. 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.560 And the guy has since died. But we spent a 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:58.800 whole episode talking about this. 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.320 No, how come the why why is that not a 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.160 why is that not a Blood Trails episode? 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.720 Well, it just it just fell on my lap, and 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:10.200 I sometimes you kind of helped team out, you know. 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.159 Well, I actually didn't even think about it till someone 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:18.520 said thatsh Well, some of us are over here scrapping 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:19.280 for good stuff too. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.719 Yeah. 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:25.560 Well, and that's what makes a team a real team. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:25.920 You know. 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:27.880 Well, I had Jordan Sillers on last night. 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.760 He was here. We talked about it. He's cool with it. 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.359 I thought we might have some bad blood, but we didn't. 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:34.880 He was cool with it. Yeah. 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:41.400 So while I'm interviewing Hank Jinks, Hank Jinks says, oh, 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.400 you need to interview Jared Kramer, who was a modern 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:50.360 Oklahoma game warden who had to use lethal force too 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.880 to kill a guy that had And if you hadn't 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.680 listened to the episode, I mean, there's really at a spoiler. 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.560 Trying to drown him. Yeah, he's kind of guy. 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.359 Basically for his fishing license, the guy has a felony warrant. 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.680 And I thought it was ironic that the guy was 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:11.120 from Arkansas and he was in Oklahoma. If this story 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.320 had happened in Arkansas. It would have been a dude 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:18.760 from Oklahoma in Arkansas. You know, the bad guy's always 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.960 from somewhere else, and it's a tragic story. 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.880 Jukes went, yeah, always from the next county. 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:33.640 So Jared Kramer's tells the whole story, I mean, very sober, 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:40.400 serious episode of the thought processes, second by second what 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:44.640 happened and what he had to do. And then half 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.479 of the episode is about afterwards because it was in 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.640 twenty fifteen, right after the Ferguson riots, Like it was 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.479 kind of the beginning of the police brutality, you know, 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.880 kind of uprise in America. And here he has killed 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.400 an unarmed man and he knows it. I mean he'd 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.080 like he said immediately he was like, this guy. 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.720 Is unarmed and yeah, but. 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:13.040 He was justified in the court of law. And I 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.160 mean it dis wrecked his life for a long time. 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.960 But really interesting and I mean never done an episode 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:21.080 like that, So it's interesting. 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:22.480 Would you, Brentless, did he. 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:27.080 Know going into it that the guy had the warrant? 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.000 Well, he he came in as backup, so his buddy 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.000 had actually just stopped to do a routine fishing license check. 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.360 The guy gives him his license and runs the license 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:41.680 and he's like felony warrant, and so Jared comes in 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:45.560 as backup to help us buddy, but his buddy is 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.080 arresting somebody else. All three of these people got arrested 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:53.400 for warrants. But the most interesting part of it was 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:57.200 is that there was one witness to the entire thing. 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:01.120 So it's Jared and this dude fighting on the ground. 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:05.920 Go into the water, but there's other wardens nearby, like 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:11.000 a hundred like one hundred yards away immediately can't see. 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.400 So Jared goes up to two men in. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:19.840 There's one witness to the shooting, like other than Jared, 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:24.960 that's alive, and Jared is very concerned about what this 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:27.160 witness is gonna say. 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.360 He was associates with the shot man. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:35.280 Yes, together, Yeah, the friends, his friend, the guy that 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:39.080 has deceased. His friend watched the whole thing, the only witness. 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:43.120 But the whole twist of the story is that the 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:48.920 year before Jared Kramers had arrested that guy witness. 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:50.200 The witness had. 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.720 Arrested him because he had a warrant out for his rest. 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.800 While Jared has taken that guy to the police station, 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:01.120 the guy says, it wasn't me that did it. I'm 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.439 a victim of identity fraud. I don't have a worn 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.440 out for my arrest. Someone stole my identity, committed a crime, 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:13.040 got out on bail and left, and Jared was like, whatever, dude, 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.320 everybody says that, and he said by the time they 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.320 got to the police station, he actually believed the guy, 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.520 and Jared put him in jail and said, I'm going 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.240 to check on this for you. Sure enough, he goes 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.720 and looks at the mugshot of the guy that was 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.400 put in jail, and the dude was telling the truth. 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.280 So Jared goes to the district attorney and says, this 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:37.240 guy is innocent and was a victim of identity fraud. 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.240 And so Jared gets this guy out of jail. 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.040 This is a year before, so he earned him a good. 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.960 So the whole like your blood pressure just goes down 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.559 in the episode, and it's told spoiler if you haven't 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.199 listened to it, but you need, you gotta hear Jared 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:57.040 teld the story is Jared's He's killed this man. The 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.920 next day he has to go in and tell his 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.760 story to the authorities. I mean, like it's a major 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:07.920 deal and he gives his account, and the prosecutor says, 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.880 would you like to hear the account of the the 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.400 man that witnessed this whole thing, or would you like 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:19.079 to read it? And Jared was like he knew that 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.320 that was either going to make or break him and 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:25.400 the and the guy slides over the paper and he 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:29.679 said it was seen for seen, like basically the exact 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.720 same story. And the guy said, I told the truth 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.800 because Jared is a good guy. 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.280 So it's just wild story. 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:43.319 But then the guy the people's family pressed charges on him. 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:44.960 Yeah, oh he went. 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.320 It went all around, but it set precedents, as I 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:53.000 understand it, it set legal precedents in America for water 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.960 as a means of murder because before you can use 0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:00.280 a lethal force, someone has to have a way, like 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.520 if they had just been wrestling and just two guys 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.760 duking it out, like you couldn't shoot the guy if 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:09.440 you had a means and so it had never been 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:10.760 done before. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.240 Like effectively a deadly weapon. 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:17.439 Yeah, yeah, so it's super interesting. I wish I could 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:24.439 hurt it. Well, I will hear it, yes for sure, 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:25.920 ask us to listen. 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:30.640 Do it about midnight?

Maybe we should rank, maybe we should do 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:41.200 like best and worst, the best person to be on 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.800 a tour bus with other than Yannie, who's just delightful 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.240 and just always But it's Randall. 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:52.480 So you're saying he's the best person, Jannie, but you're 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.520 skipping that he's just place. 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:57.040 It's just kind of no. 0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:00.280 I think he's just saying, Yann, it's is solid.

But 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:16.800 it's like a golden alt scene. 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.920 It's doctor Randall Williams. I wake up in the morning 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.320 on the bus, crawl out of my little little hole 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:28.160 sleep in, and I just kind of like starry eyed, 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:29.880 walk over and just sit in front of Randall and 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:31.400 just go, okay, talk to me. 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:33.360 And he just starts telling. 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:38.400 Story after story, hair sticking straight up, and it never stops. 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:45.320 And Randall's stories, I get nervous that he's not going 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:52.200 to land because you always land him. But I find 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:57.280 myself always a while into it, I started get nervous. 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:00.960 I remember, like Doug uh Doug Dring, he always said 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.800 when when President Biden was giving a speech, he said 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:05.800 it always felt to him like he was watching his 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:09.800 child at the school play, just hoping they don't mess up, 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:10.840 you know what I mean. 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:12.560 And when Randall tells the. 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.360 Story, I always feel like I don't think he's gonna 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:19.000 build land that story, Like I don't know if he knows. 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.360 I feel like I know it ends I feel like 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.000 I know every time, every time he like. 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.160 Every time, he eventually lands the story, and I'm like, 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:28.600 I don't know why I ever doubted him. 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:32.800 He's like the Chuck Yeger of stories. He recovers at 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.680 the end no matter what you're like, he's never gonna 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.240 land this one up. 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.960 And know when you're when you're describing that, I can 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:43.840 picture what it looks like on your face when I'm 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.800 halfway through a story and I'm like, man, he just 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.840 you just start tightening up. You're looking for something else 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:50.360 to pay attend. 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.920 What am I gonna do?

You know? 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:59.560 And then he lands it and I really laugh, and 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:01.160 I just such a sense of relief. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.600 I can't believe you haven't told us a Christmas sweater 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:08.680 story that your sister knit you. 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.880 Misty was going on and my sister. 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:15.840 In law and knits everybody sweaters for Christmas, and they 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:17.360 all have elaborate designs. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.359 So I have one that's a big ram. 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.680 The one she's thinking of, I believe, is like a 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:26.240 white cardigan with two buttons and a little leather patch, 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.040 and it's a moose standing in a pond on the 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:32.800 back and on the front there's something else.
