34
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 1: Richard Smith's really pretty common name. Yeah, so people can't

35
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: go find that. You know what probably has happening now,

36
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,160

42
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: be married. They'll be like, there's gotta be a single

Speaker 1: Rick Smith out there somewhere and they'll find you. Yeah.

44
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: Seth likes this line aquory as much as Steve does,

45
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: which is saying a lot because this is Steve's favorite thing,

46
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: you know, because here's the thing, man, here's the thing.

47
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: I've been married a long time, so when I got married,

48
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: there was no When I was like single and dating,

49
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: there were no uh applications an dating apps. You had

50
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: to go like talk to talk to him, you had

51
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: to go down to the bar, so you couldn't just

52
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: sit there, you know, and be flicking through people. So

53
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: I'm interested, and I'm very interested in people who are

54
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: having this experience that I was never able to live. Yeah,

55
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's not as cracked up as people,

56
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, people that are in committed relationships that look

57
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: look back and be like, oh, I wish there was

58
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: a digital dating app when I was dating. I think

59
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: it's I think it's not that helpful, creates laziness. Yeah,

60
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: it's just a weird. It's hard to tell from a

61
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: picture like how people are, like whether you're attracted to

62
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: them or not, So you end up going what there's

63
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: a lot about a person that doesn't come through on

64
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: a photo that is instantly uh, like you're aware of

65
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: it when you meet the person in like a real stety. Yeah,

66
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: you know. I don't know that this conversation is gonna

67
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: be interesting, um to our listeners. But I'm sure I

68
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: really do not agree. I could tell pretty much everything

69
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: I need to know, well, because I look at what

70
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: they're doing. No, but it's all curated. I look into

71
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: their I look into their eyes, and I can tell

72
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: you you can do the whole thing if I was

73
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: on there, and uh, you can be well no, I mean,

74
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: let's just say for I mean, for me, heaven forbid,

75
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: I had let's just say factors in life led me

76
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: to have to go beyond there. I would look at

77
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: the pictures and I'd be like, oh, this person's fishing,

78
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: and um, I'm like, oh, you know, I'm attracted to him.

79
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: But then that was the only picture that I'm fishing

80
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: because I would I would look and I'd be like,

81
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: I can tell they really like to fish. They seem

82
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: like a nice person. That's that's very possible. And maybe

128
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: That's a team. It's a good premise of a little film.

129
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: And they didn't just like casually trapped muskrats. It was

130
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: like all day every day. You said they stacked them up.

137
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: My buddy was saying, like muskrats out of Horroric on Marsh,

138
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: he was getting like eighteen for big big rats. I

139
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: believe it. It was crazy. I mean our one roommate

140
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: like went and bought a brand new mud boat with

141
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: a fancy you know, surface to drive motor and all

142
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: that off muskrat money really set him up. Oh yeah,

00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: a lot of weed aide you paranoid? Like it made

153
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: you think the government was doing stuff to you or whatever,

154
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: where there's aliens hanging around whatever. It's all the things

155
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: that weed smokers like to do it with their time. Uh.

156
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: But my brother one day brought up He's like, no,

157
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: I just think that there's the same kind of guy

158
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: that likes to think about aliens and likes to think

159
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: the government's out to get them. Um, likes to smoke weed.

160
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: He could have gone both ways on that deal. Hard

161
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: to know. It's like, you know a lot of people

162
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: I think like all the both. Yeah, he's like, no,

163
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: I like to think about aliens, I like to think

164
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: that the government's out to get me, and I like

165
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: the smoke weed. And that's but I wonder if if

166
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: it's if if it causes it. Smoking a lot makes

167
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: you like alien. I think there's probably a level of

168
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: weed you can smoke to actually get paranoidal, absolutely right,

169
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: it's like or to get it to become an alien

170
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: enthusia Oh yeah, maybe you were just nailing enthusiasts and

171
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: then you smoked a lot of weed and became a professional. Yeah,

172
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: someone will probably send in because we didn't. You know,

173
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: I've been talking like I I got throw in a

174
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: quick correction that uh, A listener sent in a study

175
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: that proves that, um, gluten intolerance is not in fact

176
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: a partisan ailment. M M. I'd always thought it was

177
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: a thing that strikes people on the left, which maybe

178
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: always think it was a weird sickness, like how many

179
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: sicknesses are just well, maybe they're just more vocal about it. Yeah, yeah,

180
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: But in fact, gluten intolerance can, in fact does, in

181
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: fact strike both side left hand right, because it's a

182
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: real thing. They actually did a study on this. Yeah,

183
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: they asked people like you know whatever, you you know,

184
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: ask them about their politics and asked if they had

185
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: gluten intolerance. And it turns out the right wing people

186
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: can get gluten intolerance. I just say they keep quiet

187
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: about it. That's because they don't want to admit that

188
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: they have some sort of you know, because it's viewed

189
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: as a partisan condition. When I hear it, I'm like, oh,

190
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: disappointed about Hillary Clinton, all right. I just I just know,

191
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: like gluten intolerant. I'm like, oh, I don't know a

192
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: place like Italy, which they're all about their wheat and

193
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: they have like a whole gluten free deal, because people

194
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: really are gluten gluten in tolerant. I'm pointing out. I

195
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: don't want to dwell on it. I'm just pointing out

196
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: the place whereus wrong. And I just wanted to clarify

197
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: to connect. Correction. Uh, no, one, move on. Are you

198
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: blowing your two toes off with the shotgun? Right? Tell

199
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: us about that. Yeah, So me and a few buddies

200
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: were out hunting geese and a wheat field and uh

201
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: and we were in a layout blind uh kind of

202
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: a deal. And wait, you were in your own or

203
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: you were all we're not. We're playing that game where

204
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: you try to see how many people. Okay, so out

205
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: blind is a coffin? Think of like a coffin with

206
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: doors with doors, right, um and uh. The doors open

207
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: basically like your chest from the tip of your head

208
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: to the in between your toes is bisected and you

209
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: erupt from this coffin in like a semi laying position.

210
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: And the bat there's a little bit of backrest that

211
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: could you a little bit of pitch because if you

212
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: have some powerful abs and you're used to doing sit ups,

213
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: there's no problem. But if you have unpowerful abs, you

214
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: can just be stuck. You can just be stuck. I've

215
00:13:53,080 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: seen that springboards where you pull a lever up. I

216
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: got one. Yeah, it's an old man when he comes

217
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: up because he used to always be way behind. Be like,

218
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: dang it, Daniel, we gotta we gotta get a new blind.

219
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: I wish made one that spring and I see one

220
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, the lord of that for him. So, yeah,

221
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: you did a great job, but we should probably set

222
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: the stage a little bit where explain the situation where

223
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: you used a layout blind whichever you guys want. So, yeah,

224
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: you're out scouting for geese. You see him in a

225
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: wheat field eating. We're gonna go out there and put

226
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: some field decoys out and then lay it out of cover. Yeah, yeah,

227
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: which means you can't right. Well, sometimes use it when

228
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: there is cover, like on a fence line or something

229
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: like that, or in like a kosher patch. That's pretty

230
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: effective too. But let's say you're out on the wheat

231
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: field and there's nothing to hide in and this scenario

232
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: there wasn't. We took the straw gathered up kind of

233
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: fill in. They got this little straps on the side,

234
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: and you just, yeah, you make it look like maybe

235
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: you're like a little hill. Your blinds are you try

236
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: to have a gradual like a graduate. Yeah, you don't

237
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: want to hard anything, so you might brush in the

238
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: edges and stuff anyway. So uh, and then the birds

239
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: come in and they get real clothes, their feet come out,

240
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: and I knows you guys call them their boots down

241
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: to the boot bags. And then you go take get them,

242
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: take them, shoot them, kill him whatever, and everybody pops up.

243
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: Grandpa throws the spring on this thing. Is that like

244
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: a push button? How does that work? It's like a lever?

245
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: You yang? Yeah, the spring shoots you up. So now

246
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: you don't even need to have Now you don't need

247
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: to be able to do any sit ups at all,

248
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: and you can still hunt goose up doesn't need to

249
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: be calibrated. I'm really worried about him. Did Grandpa end

250
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: up on his heels a couple of times? Daniel whind

251
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: that thing down a little bit, just coming a little hot.

252
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: So there you are, you're lay outbline, you blow your

253
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: toes off. Well, let's not we're jumping ahead here. So

254
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: a group of geese coming in with a few buddies

255
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: and uh, it's probably like twenties strong. And you know,

256
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm just getting named up. It was my first year

257
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: in South Dakota. I was like, oh, yeah, man, never

258
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: really hunted geese much Louisiana Northwest Corner. Yeah, anyway, geese

259
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: are coming. So you rested you a lot of hunting

260
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: and fishing down there. Yeah, you grew up with it. Ye,

261
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: a lot with my grandpa and my dad. Your grandpa's

262
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: still down there and Oklahoma's where he lives and he

263
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: lived there at the time. Did you guys go down

264
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: south catch crayfish much? No? But I did work for

265
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: a crawfish catering company. We boiled up crawfish and no

266
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: it's not. But we've received bags and then cut up

267
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: your arms when you handle them and all this stuff.

268
00:16:55,280 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: You guys hunt ducks down there all the time. Did

269
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: you fish car a little bit with a ski rope?

270
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: Just red fish and whatnot a little bit, not much

271
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: because it was like six hours away, so none of

272
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: the coastal activities somewhere. No, not really. Do you guys

273
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: get fish, catfish? Oh yeah, flatheads, channels, blues, squirrels, a

274
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: lot of jug lining squirrels. Absolutely. Rabbit still do rabbits, Yeah,

275
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: with dogs. Rabbit that's what I want to do. Man,

276
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: there you are, you blow your toes off. Alright, So

277
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: laying there, geese are coming in, so the way fresh

278
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: El Louisiana, all still pretty Southern accented, freaking out over

279
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: geese coming in because I wasn't used to hunting candy

280
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: geese anyway. So the way the gun lays, there's a

281
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: bar in front, like in between probably about your knees,

282
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: and then there's the feet in front of the bar,

283
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: and so I had to shoot your feet, yeah though

284
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: phoebe being mine and uh so you like rest your

285
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: shotgun on there, and as the geese are coming, I

286
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: slipped the safety off early. Yeah, it's getting ready and

287
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: getting excited. They're about twenty yards away and then uh

288
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: I I'll take him. Gun goes off as a start

289
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: coming up and then I just boom, boom, shoot too

290
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 1: all excited. Hold on minute, the gun goes off in

291
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: the blind. So I thought in my head, I okay,

292
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: you just don't. I didn't know what's going on. It

293
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: was so excited about the geese blacking out. Still do

294
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: it sometimes, especially with archery. That's just it's tough for

295
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: me anyway. So these uh so, anyway, so I come

296
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: up and then I shoot two geese and I'm like,

297
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: something feels weird. You know, there's pressure. You're you're you're

298
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: I want to dwell on this minute. You're so excited.

299
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: The your gun goes off in not in the blind

300
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: like the guns in the blind. Well, so barrels out

301
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: of the blind. I lift my my the back end

302
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: of the gun so I can vision this as the barrel,

303
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: lift the back end, you know, gun goes off. Boom,

304
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 1: So the tip of the barrel goes down towards in

305
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: the blind, I mean, not aiming it out at the geese.

306
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,159

307
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: I didn't got left, kept going. At what point did

309
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: I feel today at night, I'm getting undressed for this,

310
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: so I'm feeling a little pressure, a little heat, and

311
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, something's wrong. So I look at my

312
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: buddies and I then I realized what happened. Stand up,

313
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,320

314
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I remember saying like I don't. I think

315
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: I just like kind of grazed him, like I think

316
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: we can keep on because I was so excited to shoots. Oh.

317
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,560

320
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: and my friends say I did. They did, but more

321
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: probably had a sympathy than anything else. Yeah, whatever, that's

322
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: a great story. That is my question. What I had

Speaker 1: tennis shoes because it was August early. That doesn't help.

324
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,400

349
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: on the other one. Yeah, because the toes are tied together.

350
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: I mean, it speaks very much too how close the

351
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,400

355
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: thought you'd whittle away at the edge. I didn't know

00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: you just blast the middle out of your toes. Yeah,

357
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:43,440

Speaker 1: two toes and a generous cut, because that's a generous cut,

368
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: like it dug down in there. I took those two

369
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: toes up when I put them in a blender and

370
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,120

00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: the wheat somewhere. It look. I still have the blind

374
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: that I used, and you can see the shot going

375
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: in where it went in the boot bag and then

376
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: coming out the other end. Any blood stains whose hunting

00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: like to go back in that area. I was thinking.

381
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: I was thinking, so it wasn't dan spot. That could

382
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:09,239
Speaker 1: have added to the hysteria, right, because you're new and

383
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: excited to hunting geese, and if it's your spot that

384
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: I got invited to and I just blew my toes off,

385
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh my god, I'm never gonna get

390
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever gone since. Imagine nothing trauma

391
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: reducing the competition. So in a couple of minutes, it

392
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,200

454
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: felt horrible that he was even like talking to me

455
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: about it right away because he knew there was no

456
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: monkey business. Right. Probably happened to like seven am, and

457
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: this was nine am by the time he was there

458
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: already morning hunt. Yeah, did you feel like you did

459
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: something irreversible like that you weren't gonna walk? Oh? Man,

460
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: I was so worried. Oh really, yeah, worried about what

461
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: not being able to walk? I didn't tell the severity

462
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: in my head. I didn't know, Like, how did you

463
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: tell what was going on down there? Or was it

464
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: just kind of pulpy weird? Yeah, you could just see

465
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: the like a straight hole through the shoe how many

466
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: years ago? Ten hole through the shoe? Oh, and yeah,

467
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: you didn't want it. There wasn't much blood though, which

468
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: I thought was weird. Oh that is weird. And then uh,

469
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: did they sedate you when you get there? The freaking

470
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: called my parents to make sure that I like a yeah,

471
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: you do not know. They called my parents to make

472
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: sure I wasn't like allergic to morphine or whatever. And

473
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: I was just like, give me the morphine right now,

474
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: you know. And I did an X ray out morphine

475
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: and that was extremely painful. Took the sock off and

476
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: everything is without morphine. Yeah, just because they wanted that

477
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: X ray right away. Just a flesh wound. Yeah. And

478
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: did they did they entertain the idea of or was

479
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: it just like flat out like they're gone. You just

480
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: don't have them anymore. They're gonna make a fake one

481
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: or anything. Not at all. So what's interesting is that

482
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: top weird looking part is actually skinned from my toes.

483
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: I didn't get a good look at the top the

484
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: bottom view. I can show it to you later. I

485
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 1: got the cow's photo. The skin they got, they got

486
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: that skin. They got that skin on the top. They

487
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: grafted it on there from uh my middle toe and

488
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: the would be the like the pointer finger to the

489
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: index toe. They borrowed some skin from the neighboring toe.

490
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: Ye put it over the wound. But what had happened

491
00:30:55,160 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: was the one that this toe, that index toe, I

492
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: was just hanging there by a thread. So they cut

493
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: that off right away. The other toe on impact the

494
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: bone had blown out of that toe, so there's no

495
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: bone in it, but they were trying to save it.

496
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: Doctor comes in one day and he's like probably two

497
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: days into surgeries and stuff. He's like, man, you don't

498
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: want that thing hang hanging on stuff and yeah, you know,

499
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: catching on corners. He's like, as well, just cutting off

500
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: we can use it to graphic sure, Doc. Yeah, well,

501
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: I was like, well what if I keep the toe

502
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: in a jar? You mean I was thinking a jar

503
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: like a necklace for sure, you know, from aldehy or whatever.

504
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: And he was like, oh no, no, no, and mind you,

505
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: this is why I'm while I'm on morphine still and whatever.

506
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: He's like, oh no, no, tons of paperwork. You don't

507
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: want to do that. And for some reason, one of

508
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: my biggest regrets to this day is not having that

509
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: toe in my possession. Oh yeah, man, i'd have It's

510
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: part of me. It's just you know, waste. Yeah, i'd

511
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: have it like a call in your where you put

512
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: your bands and whatnot. I want to I woant to

513
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: took it out and try to catch a walleye with it.

514
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: Some drink with a toe. It's like a bar. There's

515
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: a bar where people lose their toes to frostbite. And

516
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: it's like a, well, I don't know what yeah really was. Yeah,

517
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: this happens a lot people lose toes. To know, it's

518
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: like one bar, like you show up to lose a toe. No,

519
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: it's like it's a I don't know, it's at the

520
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: end of the idea roun every space like a little Yeah. So,

521
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: so I don't know what it is. It doesn't sound

522
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: like you do. Know. This is never gonna mean if

523
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: they do, and if we do lure him in, you're

524
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: not gonna hold on him like this, Rick, You see,

525
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,000

526
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: I forgot. Yeah, Yanni's still on assignment. So then I imagine, Yeah,

527
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: there was like some physical therapy and stuff. And actually

528
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: what's funny is when I met my wife, I would

529
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: never take my socks off because I was so embarrassed

530
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: about it at all. Oh yeah, here we go, even

531
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: though a lot of people down information about my that's fine, right.

532
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:23,479
Speaker 1: Sour toe cocktail Dawson City. It's a tradition that an

533
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: actual human toe that has been dehydrated and preserved and salt.

534
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: He was a garnish or direct drink of your choice. Oh,

535
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: how much that run a fella, it's the sour tail cocktail?

536
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: How much? So so they have a human toe one

537
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: or multiple Dawson Ukon territory and they'll they'll let you

538
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: have the pleasure of having a drink with the toe in.

539
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: It has to file a lot of paperwork. It's a

540
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: it was a well, there's been multiple toes that have

541
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: been used, but the first one was belonged to a

542
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: minor and rum runner named to Louis. We had a

543
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: frost bitten appendage. It was preserved in alcohol and then

544
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: fifty years later Envy three brought it down to the bar,

545
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: the Sowar Saloon and they put it started putting in

546
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: drinks sour toe cocktail. So just yeah, no, you were

547
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: I was on legacy. You were dead on, he verified himself.

548
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: There you start dating your wife, then, yeah, I wouldn't

549
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: take the socks off, did you? Did you know that?

550
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: You were? Oh? So like she didn't know, so there

551
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: are so you didn't tell her about it. And then

552
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: it comes to be your wedding night. There you are

553
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: in one stipa no, yeah, you get comfortable. So then

554
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: she sees it and she'll discovered here foot's cold. No.

555
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 1: Then she sees it and bless her art, she thought

556
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: it was a deformity. And then she got worried that

557
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: if we had kids one day that they would also

558
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: have it. Then she asked me about it, and you

559
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: have to be like, well, I can't guarantee you that

560
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: they're not, so back up, back up. That's why you

561
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: gotta tell the tree up front. You hide it from

562
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: that sucks a metaphor start dating, or you hide it from.

563
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden she sees it whatever however

564
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 1: that happens. She gets a look at it, and there's

565
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: that little crazy crab claw there. And you don't go like,

566
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I shout it off with a shotgun. You

567
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: just be like, yep, it's my foot. That's the way

568
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: it is. I just didn't talk about it. She like

569
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: saw it when I I don't know, when I was

570
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: putting shoes on or something. I don't know, and she

571
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: wasn't like, good God. She didn't say anything for a

572
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: little while. Then she brought it up. That's a good woman.

573
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: She was a good woman. I like that. I mean,

574
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: because you have to say, like, through the act of reproduction,

575
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: our children are not likely to have this not exactly,

576
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: but I cannot guarantee you that our children will not

577
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: have this. They grew up to be goose hunters. There

578
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: is the man if they black out, when twenty geese

579
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: are locked up, blackout to start shooting random directions, shooting

580
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: doubles and toes Well, that's a good argument for keeping

581
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: your gunpoint in safe direction and for not taking your

582
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: safety off fairly in the lamp line. I'm real strict

583
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: about it now any time this morning, man, I I

584
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: can't tell you how many times I told the safety

585
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: quickly quickly. Well, yeah, but you're also in like a

586
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: safe position, yeah, sitting there. What I'm saying that Like?

587
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: I do it though, Yeah, it's hard not to. I

588
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: don't throw it. If I'm using a shotgun with a

589
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: with a tang safe on it, you know, like a

590
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: film safe, I'll just usually throw it when I go

591
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: to shoulder of the gun. But with a trigger guard safety,

592
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: I'll click it ahead of time. It's really hard not to.

593
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: But in a layoutline, I advise everyone not to. Yeah,

594
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: for sure, got two doubles with three shells, Yeah, yeah,

595
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: two doubles double on geese, double on toes um And

596
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: how long it take the heel all up. I was

597
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 1: hunting again like two weeks. Good for you, my buddy.

598
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: Big shout out to my bud Tom Novak. He uh,

599
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: he's always helping me, carrying decoys out, taking me hunting

600
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: because you were a little limpy. Oh yeah, doctor got

601
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: all mad at me for hunting all the time. And

602
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: actually my mom came and stayed with me for a

603
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: while when I was first. Did you do your mom

604

Speaker 1: came out and stayed with you because you shot your

605
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: toes off just for a couple of weeks. What do

606
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: you think about when I was going through physical therapy

607
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,959
Speaker 1: and stuff? Oh it was that serious. Did it feel

608
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: funny walking around? Yeah? Oh, you can't lose a toe

609
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: without doing physical It was really part of the foot.

610
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: You're not a flip flop man, Absolutely not, my buddy,

611
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,000

00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: twenty first birthday, my buddy made me one of those

Speaker 1: with because the bio bio hazard. Yeah, thanks for Sharon.

618
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 1: I can't think of any more to ask you about

619
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: just now. Are you glad it happened or not glad

620
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: to happen? I don't know. It's kind of part of

621
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: my identity now. I'm lucky that it wasn't worse. Safer

622
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: hunter now probably a lot safer hunter. And I'm mindful

623
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,439
Speaker 1: of other people in layout blinds, and that's something people

624
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: need to remember. I'm trying to think of any good

625
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: application for lying where you'd be like, um, I could

626
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: count on my hands and feet, you know what. You

627
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: know what my least favorite how many times I write

628
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: and people's right ahead goes their their head goes to twenty,

629
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: but you're talking about eighteen. Yeah, at least favorite ducks.

630
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: At least favorite expression is shot yourself in the foot

631
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: on that one. Hey, when guys say that to me, huh,

632
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: all right, that's great, man. I mean, I'm not glad

633
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: that it happened, but it's just really well, you know, uh,

634
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: my father was shot in the foot by a shotgun. Yeah,

635
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,919
Speaker 1: and he he because of who shot him. My dad

636
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: hid what happened and lied about what happened and had

637
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: a hobble around on crutches, and they didn't tell anybody.

638
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. How severe was it he had? I think

639
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,959
Speaker 1: it was camera was like thirteen or he had a sigh.

640
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: He had a huge foot, he had a size thirteen ft.

641
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 1: But I feel like camer was like thirteen or twenty.

642
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: Pellets are stuck in the um stuck in his foot? Really?

643
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: Yea palets? No, he got it from a distance then, nope,

644
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: point blank, point blank hunting rabbits guy was walking along.

645
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: You know how you do thumb cock in your shotgun

646
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: and releasing the hammer. Yeah, so he's one of his

647
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: guys walking around fiddling around, cocking it, releasing it, cockingant,

648
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: releasing it, just nervously thumb slip. Yeah, crazy Yeah. Right

649
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: after this was right after the war, refer Wal War two.

650
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: And he said that it always the irony of it

651
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: that he uh made it all through World War two

652
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: and never got scratched by a bullet and then came

653
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: home and probably got shot in the foot. Yeah something,

654
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: uh man, I want to talk about duck hunting a

655
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: little bit. Call tell everybody about our duck hunt. Um well,

656
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,439
Speaker 1: I guess as far as like duck hunting goes. It's

657
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 1: just very good duck hunting. There's a lot of birds around.

658
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: Good as it could be. I mean, I mean, I

659
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: I really think so. I mean, you could, I guess,

660
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: be in a situation where you go bay, wait wait, wait, right,

661
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: and everybody's got their limits really fast, and you're at

662
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: the coffee shop at seven in the morning or something

663
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: like that. But um ours are taking a little bit

664
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: longer here in two days. But it's I mean, you're

665
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: never in that situation where you're really feeling like we

666
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: are in the wrong area. This isn't gonna work out. Um.

667
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 1: There's always ducks flying, and it's just very incredibly ducky.

668
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: Like the UM. I struggle with the word habitat. I

669
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: feel like I'm not describing it well by saying habitat.

670
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's just a giant food source right now.

671
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: There's soybeans and corn everywhere that have not been cut. UM.

672
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: The fields are flooded heavily with water, not by um

673
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: really like the constructs of man. They're just it's just

674
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: crazy weather cycle. M that this area is holding a

675
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: ton of water and that water is spilled out into

676
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: the agricultural fields. So the fields have cover by the

677
00:42:53,760 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: way of un harvested food crops. They have food because

678
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 1: their food crops like soy and corner bean, corn, soy

679
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: and corn and m and then there's water. So it's

680
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: like an absolute utopia for ducks. Um, Yeah, corn fields

681
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: and needy water. Well, I don't know if is that

682
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: deep in some spots for sure. I'd say where we

683
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: were sitting today it was any Oh, yeah, we were

684
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: in a needy corn field. Yeah, can you talk? Can

685
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: you discuss Shawan? The scope of the flooding here pretty

686
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: much from well now in North Dakota too, they weren't

687
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: flooded earlier in the year. They're flooded now. Well, I

688
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: guess the best way to put it is northeast South Dakota.

689
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: All of eastern South Dakota really is at like three

690
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: above annual preset on the air so man, which is

691
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: an unrealistic number that seems like a weird number to

692
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: just like throw out there kind of casually. But the

693
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: lakes in general have risen anywhere from like five to

694
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: twelve feet depending on the lake. And then you have

695
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of acres of flooded corn and beans,

696
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 1: and even counting this spring, you know, you had two

697
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: point eight million acres of like unplanted crop in southa

698
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: wet to plant, to wet to plant. So and it's

699
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: that we're saying around here, zero heart, zero harvest, no

700
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: one's harvest, no one's harvest, is the thing we were

701
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: commenting on our drive back tonight. We finally saw a

702
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 1: combine starting to roll. Oh, just as we are leaving town,

703
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 1: there was a combine rolling. But that that's the only

704
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: combine I've seen Catton Corner in the field. So there's

705
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: the first one. When I hear the word flood, I

706
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: think of like a river. No, that that's so weird

707
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, it's like it's the whole time you're

708
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: getting ready for this and you're talking about the flooding. Right.

709
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: I had the same image too, that you're like in

710
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: a big floodplain of a river and the waters high. Yeah. Yeah,

711
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: So that the strange part about here. We're in what's

712
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: called the Catoda Prairie. It's a set of hills in

713
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: eastern South Dakota formed by the James Lobe of a glacier.

714
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: I can't remember the name of glacier. Off the top

715
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: of my head. The James Lobe and the Des Moines

716
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: Lobe split parted around these hills, which eventually formed the

717
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,760
Speaker 1: James River Valley and then the Des Moines River Valley,

718
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: and those glaciers kind of cut around this set of hills,

719
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 1: and the hills are wand right out flattened it right out,

720
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: and the hills are a closed water basin, meaning there's

721
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: no real rivers, I mean on the sides or south

722
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: end of the cat or the north end of the

723
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of creeks and rivers, but in

724
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: general the water doesn't leave. So it's the water here

725
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: is pre sip dependent, Like the water can't come from

726
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: anywhere else. It comes from here, and here a loan.

727
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: So if you have a heavy winter of snow and

728
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: heavy summer of rain, you're gonna have a lot of water,

729
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: and then you know, you go into your drought cycles,

730
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: and it's the other way around. The water rising here

731
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: is so extreme that there are um farm houses with

732
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: water up to the ground floor windows. Yeah, silos that

733
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: are submerged. You have entire like old farmsteads, you know,

734
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: we can even say maybe fifties sixty year old farmsteads

735
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: on islands, but then you have you know, newer houses

736
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: house is built in the last fift twenty years now

737
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: on islands, like livable houses that people had to move

738
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: their stuff, had to move their stuff out of this

739
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: summer by boat and they're not living out there, not

740
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: living in their own house. And roads that vanish. Yeah, yeah,

741
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: the whole state highways. Yeah, like somebody went about playing

742
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: those highways thinking, oh, these highways are in a place

743
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 1: that's probably not going to get flooded, right, oh very yeah,

744
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: these are like full on roads. Yeah. They were thinking

745
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: that this is just a road now and then it'll

746
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: just be a road. Yeah. But like people playing around

747
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: the huge like okay, maybe a year or two we

748
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: get like some heavy rains and these areas will be

749
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: low lyne and get flooded. So we're gonna build this

750
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: road in this place that doesn't flood and it's under yeah.

751
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: I mean there's US Highway eighty one. Highway was for

752
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: a while ten has gone underwater, yeah, or portions of

753
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: it gone. A lot of them have been built up since.

754
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like US Highway eighty one right now still closed,

755
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: been closed since May or June. I want to talk

756
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: about what it means for the for the lakes and

757
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 1: lake access, But first of all, about what it means

758
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 1: for I mean, obviously it's it's devastating to farmers, but

759
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: are people on average that's something that's covered on average

760
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: by UM. This flooding is a crop insurance and stuff

761
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: and and and I honestly don't know much about that.

762
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 1: Um to what degree you're economically exposed when this happens.

763
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: It can't be pretty, No, it can't be um luck

764
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: not luckily. I really don't think there's an insurance situation where, uh,

765
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: you're not missing a beat right where it's like, oh, well,

766
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: thank got it all flooded. Yeah, we'll get it. We'll

767
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: get it better next year. Yeah. I don't think I

768
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: can't look around here and imagine that situation. I think

769
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: I think some folks are getting real hard hit to

770
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: the point where, um, they're looking at different means of livelihood. Yeah.

771
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: I saw an article today I didn't authenticated, so that

772
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,919
Speaker 1: might not be true, but it was South Dakota News

773
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: article forty three farms in South Dakota have gone bankrupt

774
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks. So, I mean, it's it's

775
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 1: hard on people. Prices aren't exactly good either, so oh

776
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 1: grain prices right, which it doesn't matter if you can't

777
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: go out stuff anyway, So that'll that'll drive him up. Yeah.

778
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: So ducks love it, man, ducks love it. It's well

779
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: soybean fields underwater. I mean like he was, thousands and

780
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: thousands of acres of crop land underwater. And because this

781
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: area is so rich with slow environments. To begin with,

782
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: a lot of these fields have you know, slews that

783
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: were in the field where the farmers have driven around

784
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: him planted around them. But then those slews have bloated

785
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: and flooded up into the habitat around So now you've

786
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: got these isolated slews out of sight, out of mind,

787
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: which is what a duck wants out in the middle

788
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: of nowhere, just loaded. Then the cover is food and

789
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: they can land out there and swim up into the

790
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 1: cornfields land and open water in a slough and then

791
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: swim up into the corn sleep and eat, be lazy. Yeah. Yeah,

792
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 1: ducks like it. Uh. One of the more interesting things

793
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: around here is what it means like this, this historic

794
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: high water, which is happening a couple of times in

795
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: the last thirty years, right, is Uh, it's kind of

796
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: interesting to think about. Where as anyone who's listening knows

797
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 1: you got like a lake, right, Uh, in a lake

798
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: will have a boat launch and or whatever. It's a

799
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: beach boat launched whatever the hell of park. And you

800
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: go down and you put your boat in the lake.

801
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: You then proceed you just drive around the lake. You

802
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,879
Speaker 1: don't need to go, You don't go ask everyone who

803
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 1: lives on the lake's permission if it's okay for you

804
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: to be out on the lake. Right, it's just once

805
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: you're on the lakes, the boat launch, you're on the lake,

806
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: You're where you want, You're out in the water, and

807
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: it's just like the lake is treated as public land. Uh. Here,

808
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: there's a it's a fair to call it a fight. Yeah,

809
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: it's real contentious there for a while. It's kind of

810
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: taking a back seat now, but yeah, it's real contentious

811
00:51:56,200 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: for a while. We're imagine that you have so imagine

812
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: like everyone who's listening to imagine their own lake. They

813
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 1: know about where they put it, where they've ever taken

814
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: a boat out boating, And you have the point where

815
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: you launch the boat and then you just proceed to

816
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: go where you want. Now, imagine that that lake increases

817
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 1: in size tenfold and it's now spread up uh and

818
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: subsumed houses, fields, yards, fences, fences, and you put your

819
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 1: boat in at the boat launch. Do you now do

820
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 1: you like you always done and go wherever the lake is,

821
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: or do you now impose these imaginary lines of where

822
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: the lake used to be and the new part of

823
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: the lake is off limits. That's a pretty good way

824
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:55,439
Speaker 1: of putting it. That yard that used to be here

825
00:52:55,640 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: is feet below you, with a fans line and a mailbox,

826
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 1: maybe underwater, underwater, the whole kitten caboodles underwater. But what

827
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: you see is lake lake. So if a guy didn't

828
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: know it hadn't been there before, and he goes down

829
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: there and launches his boat, he just thinks it's a

830
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 1: big damn lake. But then all of a sudden, as

831
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: someone saying, hey, you're riding your boat over my yard. Yea,

832
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: which is below you, he says, I don't get out

833
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: of my yard, get off my law. You were saying,

834
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, this is a major issue now. Property taxes one.

835
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: You know, if it's seasonally flooded, it's one thing, But

836
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: then the window seasonally flooded become like permanently flooded, and

837
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: then the lakes like it's there right, there's there's so

838
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 1: many facets to it all, like we're talking about hundreds

839
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,879
Speaker 1: of lakes, hundreds you're talking altogether. I want to say,

840
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: can't remember the number. It's around three hundred thousand acres

841
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: of water we're talking about altogether of Is that public

842
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: or is it not? And so you have two classifications.

843
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: And I was gonna say, now, go back in time

844
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: to the when they back when they used just come

845
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: up with weird explanations and stuff and talk about when

846
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: South Dakota was founded. So in eighteen sixty eight, the

847
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 1: federal government, federal massacre. Very true, very true. Eighteen sixty

848
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 1: eight they or the first patent for the diaphragm call

849
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: m right around there. Can you believe that? Crazy? Was

850
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: it a sixty eight kl? Yeah? Sixty? And also this

851
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:50,879
Speaker 1: some bitch had he patented that year. Cal was pointing out,

852
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: why was he not busy with the Civil War? No? Six? No, no, no,

853
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: the yeah, the uh how did we cover that? No,

854
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: we're talking about the guy that came up the first

855
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: patented the diaphragm, and he patented basically what we used today,

856
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: same exact things, there's different materials, and you pointed out

857
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: it seems like you'd have been thinking about other things

858
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: back then, Yeah, because he was from Alabama, Alabama, and yeah,

859
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about a reconstruction in the SUS

860
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: dealing with the car post Sigars Civil War like and

861
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: Yankees running around trying to tell you what I thought

862
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,320
Speaker 1: it was a good thing to where it was like

863
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, yeah, yeah, we check this out. Yeah,

864
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 1: but he still got just trying to take his mind

865
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: off more. But no matter what springs are coming, So

866
00:55:55,320 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: what tell we're talking about? Someone comes and says, what, hey,

867
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: you guys need to figure out what's a lake and

868
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:10,800
Speaker 1: what's not. So a bunch of guys rode around and

869
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 1: if it was more than four ft deep and they

870
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 1: believed it had a permanent shoreline, they classified it as

871
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: a meandered lake, which is a deceiving term. It's so deceiving.

872
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: I wish I would have just called it, like a

873
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: cupcake lake or whatever, a meandered lake, because it's the

874
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: opposite of what it should be. But they so they

875
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:41,800
Speaker 1: drive around right around, Yeah, probably on horses or whatever,

876
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: and they're they're like yeah that's a lake. Yep. Another

877
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: thing like nah lake and they mark them all yep.

878
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: And so they classify I want to say it was

879
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 1: two seventy by these of water or something like that

880
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:08,760
Speaker 1: as meandered. So the the lake bed with state owned

881
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 1: property of South Dakota, the ones they felt looked like

882
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: a lake, right, the ones that they felt would go dry,

883
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: and some of them they said, you know, lake, but

884
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: could go dry. Uh. Yeah, there's even old map where

885
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: we're standing. There's an old map that says like something

886
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: lake and says could go dry. Yeah, lake but could

887
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: go but but could go dry and uh, those were

888
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: classified as non meandered. So those were put into deedon

889
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 1: title private property available for purchase, and a large portion

890
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: of that land ended up being waterfowl production areas South Dakota,

891
00:57:56,400 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: game production areas, you know, things of that nature. Probably land.

892
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: H Well, then I believe it's the sixties. Pretty much

893
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: everything goes dry, even the meandered lakes. Like I said before, yeah,

894
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: big drought. These lakes are so dependent on precipitation, like

895
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna wildly fluctuate because they don't have a consistent

896
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: they don't have water coming from the north, or water

897
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: coming from the west or anything like that. Whatever happens

898
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 1: here is what happens to the lakes. There's not a

899
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: big mountain range getting packed full of snow every winter

900
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: and in the spring that snow comes down and fills

901
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 1: up the lake. And so what's happening not at all,

902
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: And so you have these lakes all go dry. Some

903
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: of our biggest lakes, like Lake Thompson is a good

904
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: example of one, one of the biggest natural lakes in

905
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 1: South Dakota completely bone dry. What about that one we're

906

924
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: only your mother could have been here to see it. Well,

925
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: now we got to tell him how big the wal

926
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 1: I was monster, big old fat belly guilted into turn

927
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: and loose, and somehow cal got to keep his there's

928
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: another monster cat that night. A lot of folks, a

929
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 1: lot of folks said it couldn't be beaten. But with

930
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: a lot of hard work and determination. Oh, Steve came through,

931
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 1: came through and whooped it. Uh. So that lake has

932
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: always had some water in it. Yeah, so go on

933
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: to what happened. So historically they're like, this is a lake.

934
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 1: But then low and behold, it does go dry. Yeah,

935
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: so they go dry. And then and when the lake

936
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: goes dry and you live on the edge of the lake,

937
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: your yard does grows and grows and grows and then

938
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: the water comes up in your yard, shrinks and shrinks

939
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: and shrinks. The basin of Lake Thompson, they used to

940
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 1: graze cattling, and now this year it's overtaking homes. So

941
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: what happened is, you know, in the seventies, it's it's

942
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: progressed since seventies. The lakes filled back up in the seventies,

943
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:17,439
Speaker 1: or at least the basins did. The eighties they expand more,

944
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: and then the nineties they hit a unreal growth pattern

945
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: that everyone says is never gonna happen again, you know.

946
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: And is this one to start hearing the word flood.

947
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: This is when you hear the words flood highest water

948
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: they had in a hundred years, at least by far,

949
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: because it's the highest water they've had since the surveying

950
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: in eighteen sixty eight. And that was mainly, you know,

951
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 1: n I believe it was floods being the worst. So

952
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 1: early to mid nineties, all of a sudden you have

953
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: these lakes that were confined to a basin filling out,

954
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 1: flooding private land like you were mentioning, those are the

955
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 1: Meandered Lakes. But then all of a sudden you have

956
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: these uh, slews, really marshes that no one considered lakes

957
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden now way too deep to be

958
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 1: considered just a slough. Now, all of a sudden, there's

959
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: there's lakes that are nineteen twep that before we're just

960
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, a duck marsh and the map doesn't show it,

961
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: and the map doesn't show it as a lake. And uh,

962
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: I mean there's stories out there, you know, farmers moving

963
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: their cattle up out of these basins the night it

964
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: started raining hard and they've never seen the land again since,

965
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 1: and and and correct me if I'm wrong here. But

966
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: eventually people started putting fish in these things too, right, yeah, so,

967
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 1: and not just people, but sometimes the state a lot

968
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 1: of times state. Yeah so you have a you have

969
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: a mix of the state seeing recreate, recreational opportunity, value, value, revenue.

970
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,440
Speaker 1: We got to do something with this water. Well, let's

971
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 1: put fish in it. Why wouldn't you, especially when I

972
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: see some water Heck, yeah, I get the one in

973
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 1: both that especially because you had, you know, public right

974
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: aways going through this, and you have a pretty substantiated

975
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: history of public water access, you know, like the Public

976
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 1: Trust Doctrine, the Desert act Um, there was a U. S.

977
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: Supreme Court ruling. Anyway, there's a few different you know,

978
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: historic pieces of not legislation, well legislation and judicial rulings

979
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 1: that they are. They looked at as, oh, this is

980
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 1: justification that that's public water, and so why wouldn't the

981
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: state put fish in public water. So you have the

982
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: state pulling down flooded roads dumping fish. You have um

983
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: people doing bucket biology. That's what a lot of people

984
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: call it. Champion Yeah, catch going and catching some yellow.

985
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 1: A lot of people did it when I was going up.

986
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean every I mean, nothing happened just where I'm at.

987
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, like you go out, we'll just take tonight,

988
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 1: for instance, we went out and caught a bunch of walleye.

989
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 1: We would have saved some of those walley for eating,

990
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: but maybe we keep a couple alive. And on the

991
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 1: way home, we swing into some spot that's a little

992
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 1: bit closer to home and we just let a few

993
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: of those walleye go. I always picture it happened like

994
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 1: this too. Where you go out your fishing. Say you

995
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: go off fishing blue gulls, and you gotta bucket and

996
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: you got right away, baby, have you got three and

997
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 1: you're like, oh man, I'm gonna clean up a whole

998
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: mess him. Well, then fishing goes to ship. You got

999
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: three bluegos in your bucket? Or four? Would I say?

1000
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 1: How many? You get? These three? So he's got three

1001
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, I really want a dirty to

1002
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 1: knife over this. You know what I'll do dump them

1003
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 1: in that in the lake by my house. Oh, you man,

1004
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: a great example. I'm not sure what the statute of

1005
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 1: limitations are here, but uh, we don't. We'd always go

1006
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 1: fish these bass ponds when you were young, early early

1007
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: on in high school, and one of us his folks

1008
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 1: had a water feature, little pond in their backyard that

1009
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: they like to maintain and keep looking nice. And we

1010
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: thought it'd be funny or cute or something to take

1011
01:05:53,760 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: a readier sunfish, pumpkin seed or whatever, um and that

1012
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 1: we had caught and throw it in that water feature,

1013
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 1: which that is funny and cute. And our buddy's mom

1014
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: thought it was great. But then eventually, as the summer progressed, um,

1015
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: and you know, we had long forgotten about this thing.

1016
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 1: Um fall comes in and they're going to turn the

1017
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: water feature off, and she's you know, we show back

1018
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: up at some point doing whatever we were doing, and

1019
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: the water features dry and we're like, oh, some of

1020
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 1: it gone. What happened to that fit? And she's like, oh,

1021
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 1: you know had turned this thing off, so I just

1022
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: took it down throw it in the river. Right, So

1023
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 1: there's another leg incidental, Yeah, another way it happens. I

1024
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 1: don't know why the hell we're on this, but it's

1025
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 1: just interesting. You would you used to be able to

1026
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: they're trying to change us now, but you'd go and

1027
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: like get bait. So you buy fishing bait. Like in

1028
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: the winter, you're going be like, oh, I'm gonna buy

1029
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: a dozen sucker minos to fish northeast, and you get

1030
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: your sucker minos and then you wind up driving over

1031
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: three counties and you fish. At the end of the day,

1032
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 1: you just dumped suckermentos down the whole. And then maybe

1033
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: they got maybe the things that are in there, maybe

1034
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: supposed to have a thing of fat headed mentals, but

1035
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: you just got a bunch of baby suckers, like real suckers.

1036
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 1: Because now and then, on my late growing up, now

1037
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 1: and then there's no suckers in that lake. But now

1038
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: and then you stand on the dock and here comes

1039
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 1: cruising by a freaking giant sucker and rs so much

1040
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 1: was ours. That's like an ice fishing bait sucker that

1041
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 1: he never found a mate, but he just lives in

1042
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: the lake. He's got a little circle hunk scar in

1043
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: his back. Yeah, and his dorsalman's got all below it

1044
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 1: because some guy was ice fishing with them. So I

1045
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 1: think we've established the people's moving fish around. So yeah,

1046
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 1: And honestly, I think most of it was a state.

1047
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: But in general, lakes get stocked because what else are

1048
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 1: you gonna do with the access of water. Well, as

1049
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 1: you've learned too from Col, if you listen to Cow's

1050
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 1: we can review. Uh everybody eyes you say when you're

1051
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 1: a kid, they'd say, oh, fish fish eggs stick to

1052
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 1: the bird's feet, and the birds fly around and move

1053
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: the eggs everywhere. But Cal reported on the case an

1054
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: instance where um fish eggs were surviving in bird ship.

1055
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,800
Speaker 1: Remember that, Cal, Yeah, in the Yeah, I mean that

1056
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 1: makes sense. It was shutting out birds stuff so fast

1057
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 1: shout out viable fish eggs. They probably eat a lot

1058
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: fish and moved fertilized a bird moved fertilized fish eggs

1059
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:08,799
Speaker 1: and delivered it to a new water system and its species.

1060
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: Things about that, right, And they're not like actively trying

1061
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 1: to eat fish eggs. They're just down there sipping through

1062
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: and eating grasses and everything. And think all the eggs

1063
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 1: that are and then all the stuff that lays eggs

1064
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 1: ait stick on like cart lay eggs a stick on grass. Yeah,

1065
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: and then frogs and salamanders and all that stuff. You know,

1066
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 1: they're just siving that stuff out that spoon bill my

1067
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 1: shot today. It was probably a carrier of a vector

1068
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 1: of all sorts of species. And Cal found three salamanders

1069
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 1: dandies too, yeah, big old big honk and salamanders one

1070
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: the size of of a hand human hand. And then

1071
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: he found two of them making love. Oh, and I

1072
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 1: mean it just keeps getting better because when I was

1073
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:01,719
Speaker 1: backing in the boat today, jumped out of the truck,

1074
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: caught a frog with my left hand, and caught a

1075
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 1: toad with my right hand. This place is like her

1076
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: central I mean for herpetologist. Yes, I mean, if if

1077
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 1: you're an overgrown kid like myself, this place is just

1078
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:28,719
Speaker 1: a wonder Rick's tender handle as rong as your jokes

1079
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 1: I can make about that. Uh So, people move fish

1080
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 1: all over damn place. They get the lakes get full

1081
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 1: fish yep. And it turns out that some people don't

1082
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:46,640
Speaker 1: like fishermen over their land, even if those fishermen are

1083
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: trying to target fish. That there's sting to the state, right.

1084
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: And so you have a well recorded history of the

1085
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: water itself being held in the public trust, and then

1086
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 1: you have public or you know, state owned or state

1087
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: stocked fish in those public waters. But then the argument is, well,

1088
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 1: just because it's public water doesn't mean you have the

1089
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 1: right to access my land. Yeah. Now this is where

1090
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: this is where I This is where this starts to

1091
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 1: make its own gravy, as they say, right, so this

1092
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,560
Speaker 1: is where it gets goofy because I ask you a

1093
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: series of questions. Go ahead, this is how I'd like

1094
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 1: to handle this. We got an existing lake, and everybody,

1095
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: like those boys back in, those boys are like, that's

1096
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: a lake, okay, And there it lives. And the lake

1097
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 1: just lives there. Then all of a sudden, lo and behold,

1098
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 1: last handful of years, the lake metastasizes. That's not a

1099
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: word I use often, but I don't use it lightly.

1100
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: The lake a task asize us and grows big and

1101
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 1: there used to be a boat launch, but now the

1102
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:07,200
Speaker 1: boat launch is gone. The boat launch is on our

1103
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 1: twelve ft of water, and the lake girls girls, girls,

1104
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 1: girls grows and covers up a highway, covers up a road.

1105
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: In that case, where it was everyone agreed that it

1106
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 1: was a lake, and the lake now pass up the

1107
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:28,559
Speaker 1: boat launch and covers a highway or a county road.

1108
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 1: Public right away, a public right away. Are there people

1109
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: saying that you can't use that lake at its current shoreline? Correct,

1110
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 1: because they're saying you'd have to cross my property to

1111
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 1: get to what used to be the lake. And even

1112
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: then they just in general, it doesn't matter if you're

1113
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:58,639
Speaker 1: crossing or not. They don't want a boat over top

1114
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 1: of their land. But what about what used to be

1115
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 1: the lake? If you can somehow magically get your boat

1116
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 1: to the middle, let's say you could, you could manage

1117
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 1: you could helicopter your boat in and get it to

1118
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 1: what was the lake. People they'd be cool with that, right,

1119
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 1: but they don't want you crossing putting it in ten

1120
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:26,599
Speaker 1: ft of water on the new part of the lake. Yeah, yeah, uh,

1121
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:31,800
Speaker 1: you know. There's so there's so many different like opinions

1122
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 1: on what certain people want some guys want to buoy off.

1123
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 1: You know, they're forty acre flooded piece, so they want

1124
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:40,600
Speaker 1: to like mark with boies what it used to be

1125
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 1: the lake and that's where everybody can hang out and

1126
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: nobody can fish in this forty acre piece because that's

1127
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 1: my forty acres to fish. But then you know, and

1128
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:55,680
Speaker 1: they'll go out and market with buoy's. Yeah yeah, so

1129
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 1: like mark your like a fence but booi's and they're like,

1130
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 1: by god, this is my part of the lake because

1131
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 1: it used to not be a lake. Right. It's really weird.

1132
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: I season driving trucks like right down, a bunch of

1133
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 1: signs sitting on the say no trespassing. They put te

1134
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 1: posts in the ice with signs on them like every

1135
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: what would you say, thirty yards forty yards to have

1136
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:21,720
Speaker 1: their own private fishing spot. So everybody's lined up on

1137
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:23,559
Speaker 1: the edge thinking that's where it's going to be good.

1138
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: You know, to catch him right on the edge of

1139
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 1: that private we'll see him lined up her head on

1140
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,640
Speaker 1: that edge. Always. Oh yeah, like man, if I had

1141
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:45,720
Speaker 1: permission on that should be three bigger. It's so weird. Yeah,

1142
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:49,600
Speaker 1: and you know what, but I want to put my

1143
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:53,000
Speaker 1: spin on it. I want my spin on it about

1144
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 1: like what's what I think is right and wrong? Okay,

1145
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna do it till later. I want to.

1146
01:14:58,120 --> 01:14:59,639
Speaker 1: I want to. I want to explore this more because

1147
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 1: it's two. It's such an amazing thing though, because man, like,

1148
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: what's the timeline, right? I mean, if it's like you

1149
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: got sucked in by some shady real estate agent who

1150
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: knew the place was going to be underwater in three months,

1151
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 1: but it was like I just saw that you were

1152
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 1: kind of a rube and was like, hey, I'll give

1153
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 1: the lakefront property, give you a heck of a deal.

1154
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 1: I gotta move town. Mom sick in the next county. Yeah,

1155
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, your properties underwater. You'd

1156
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 1: probably be like, man, I got taken advantage of this

1157
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:41,640
Speaker 1: is crazy. But on the out of here, it's going

1158
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:44,600
Speaker 1: to be in the basement to three hundred years or

1159
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 1: a hundred years or eighty five years or Grandpa had

1160
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: no idea the water was that ever going to get

1161
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 1: that high? You know, then you got a little bit

1162
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 1: more of an attachment to the property, right like for

1163
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, the nine ines was an act

1164
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:04,280
Speaker 1: of God. But now the flooding this year has been

1165
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:06,840
Speaker 1: just as bad, if not worse than anything that happened

1166
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:10,560
Speaker 1: in the nineties. My question is, is this just a

1167
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 1: precipitation thing that's above average? Was it? What else is

1168
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 1: going on besides just rainfall? Is it just like more

1169
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:20,599
Speaker 1: rain equals more lakes? Where is there? I mean, we're

1170
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 1: so much above We're so much above what this area

1171
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 1: is supposed to get traditionally on preset and then it's

1172
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 1: just been a year after year it's just been and

1173
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 1: above average, above average. But you know, there's plenty of

1174
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 1: argument and talk about change in land and farming practices

1175
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:42,720
Speaker 1: and all that, but I'm not really super interested in

1176
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 1: that being a part of it, because at the end

1177
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:48,600
Speaker 1: of the day, we're we've got way more water than traditionally,

1178
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:51,759
Speaker 1: at least in the you know, hundred and fifty years

1179
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 1: of people settled here and records, we've got more water

1180
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 1: than we would have had that hundred fifty years, sir.

1181
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:04,640
Speaker 1: So how many lakes have how many lakes have we

1182
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 1: lost access to because the lake grew up onto what

1183
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 1: was regarded as private property before. During the initial fight

1184
01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:20,679
Speaker 1: on this whole meandered versus non meandred waters the Meandered

1185
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: waters are safe. They haven't been closed down or anything. Um, well,

1186
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: unless you can't get onto them. Well there's the states

1187
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 1: pretty much been able to gain access. Okay, so they've

1188
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 1: gone into made deals, right, and a lot of them

1189
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 1: they have public land that butts up to it. You

1190
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:45,519
Speaker 1: know a lot of those Meandered lakes they owned game

1191
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 1: production areas or whatever that they then now go put

1192
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: a boat ramping on what used to be duck hunting

1193
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:56,680
Speaker 1: ground or hunting ground. Um. The non Meandered lakes is

1194
01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 1: where the real issue was. Let me let's paint a

1195
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:06,720
Speaker 1: scenario where people understand where this comes up. Okay, now

1196
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:11,680
Speaker 1: let me throw one out there. Uh. Here, you have

1197
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: a lake that you're never two people historically didn't have

1198
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 1: access to. Okay, so we'll have it's a nonmandered lake yep. Okay,

1199
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:22,080
Speaker 1: so it's never been regarded as a public waterway. And

1200
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:27,040
Speaker 1: it's small. Now it's huge, and there used to be

1201
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 1: no point of access because someone owned all the land.

1202
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 1: But now the lake grows so much that it grows

1203
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 1: up and covers up a county road. So now you

1204
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:42,080
Speaker 1: can't drive your car, correct because it's underwater. You could

1205
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: drive your car to where it hits the water and

1206
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 1: be like, now I will continue on my way in

1207
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:51,760
Speaker 1: my boat, right And and so you're like, I now

1208
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 1: have public access to the water because I'm legally entering

1209
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,120
Speaker 1: the water, and once I'm on the water, legally I

1210
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:01,960
Speaker 1: can just take my canoe and go where I want

1211
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 1: to go. But these cases they're saying, no, you can't.

1212
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 1: Even though you got in where a public roadway is,

1213
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:15,720
Speaker 1: you can't zoom around the lake at all and fish yep.

1214
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 1: And that's another part of this. Yeah, that's that was

1215
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 1: the most contentious part of it that started all this

1216
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:29,439
Speaker 1: was you have water that goes up to a public

1217
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:34,719
Speaker 1: easement that the public pays for. But because a couple

1218
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 1: of holser Is back in said yeah, that's a lake, right,

1219
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 1: because because they didn't think it was a lake all

1220
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden, now you're not supposed to have access

1221
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 1: to that it was and full of walleeah. Never mind

1222
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 1: that the state has been paying to put fish in it.

1223
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:58,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that's like I have your cake and eat

1224
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 1: it too. This type of scenario did just kind of

1225
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 1: down on me that Dan here maybe with three toes

1226
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 1: playing a bit of a game. Oh you're playing a

1227
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:14,920
Speaker 1: game with us Dan Louisiana fun time, right he uh,

1228
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 1: he's from place where he's seen plenty of houses on stilt.

1229
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 1: Comes up here in a steadily rising tide. Mary's a

1230
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:30,080
Speaker 1: local gal, maybe a Knox, A couple of toes off

1231
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:35,760
Speaker 1: with an endearing story, you know in the uh the

1232
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:39,800
Speaker 1: land of the rising rising waters, the Louisiana man, maybe

1233
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 1: king right could be Yeah, rising waters yonder. I like

1234
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:50,800
Speaker 1: the white while I taste. Can you import some gator?

1235
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 1: So what what's your guys gripe with all this, Like,

1236
01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 1: what's your take on all this? Well, the biggest it's

1237
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 1: something you guys talk a lot about. Yeah, So the

1238
01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: biggest problem was first, when this fight started, they wanted

1239
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:12,560
Speaker 1: to give no, no due credit to the history of

1240
01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 1: public water public trust doctrine said, now it doesn't matter

1241
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 1: if the water is public. The whole argument is recreation.

1242
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 1: Is it a beneficial use? Is it a public right?

1243
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:31,280
Speaker 1: And the landowners say, yeah, the public has, you know,

1244
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 1: rights to the water, but they don't have rights to

1245
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 1: recreate on the water. The sportsman say, of course we do.

1246
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 1: Or sportsman, that's what we do. And um and every

1247
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: town that I've been in South Dakota. It seems to

1248
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 1: absolutely celebrate sports mom, Yeah, with signs that basically say

1249
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 1: please come in here. Yeah, come in here and buy

1250
01:21:55,600 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 1: some beer, buy some gas. Yeah. But the biggest problem was,

1251
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 1: or is that you had a breakup of what was

1252
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:16,679
Speaker 1: legal and what was not. So you had certain lakes

1253
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:22,240
Speaker 1: with certain rules and other lakes following a different rule.

1254
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:26,519
Speaker 1: So we have here what's called injunction lakes. They're non

1255
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:31,599
Speaker 1: meandered lakes, so they're not official lakes. They're not official lakes.

1256
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:36,080
Speaker 1: Some of them have public land under them, so don't

1257
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: and but they flood up over a public right away.

1258
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:47,479
Speaker 1: But because the landowners of those lakes, you know, fought

1259
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: in court for those lakes to be shut down to fishing,

1260
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:56,920
Speaker 1: they are now completely private lakes, like absolute, even with

1261
01:22:57,080 --> 01:23:03,960
Speaker 1: public landing. So why do the guys what's uh, what

1262
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 1: what's motivating the landowners? Do you think of fishing privileges

1263
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:11,640
Speaker 1: or just like general like not one. Yeah, there's all

1264
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 1: sorts of stuff. Um, but the injunction lakes specifically isn't

1265
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: like what I have a problem with. It's that you

1266
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 1: have a non meandered lake in this county or over

1267
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 1: here ten miles away five miles away, having to abide

1268
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 1: by a completely different set of rules than that injunction lakes.

1269
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 1: So here's a good example. You have non meandered lakes.

1270
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:37,840
Speaker 1: They should all fall under the same rules and guidelines,

1271
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:40,560
Speaker 1: but you have three different sets of rules they have

1272
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 1: to follow. You have these injunction lakes that are not

1273
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:47,680
Speaker 1: accessible at all, completely closed public fishing. Then you have

1274
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 1: the twenty seven exemption lakes that the state said have

1275
01:23:56,080 --> 01:24:01,760
Speaker 1: a proven and recorded history of lots of ortsmen use that.

1276
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:06,759
Speaker 1: For a landowner to close their land off in those lakes,

1277
01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: they have to file pretty much appeal I guess to

1278
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:16,680
Speaker 1: the state saying why their land should be closed um

1279
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:21,240
Speaker 1: otherwise if and the state so the that's like a

1280
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 1: game commission or whatever that decides whether their application or

1281
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:30,960
Speaker 1: there you know, argument is valid. So they can apply

1282
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 1: on those twenty seven lakes. Let's say Dry Lake number two.

1283
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: That's a good example of one of the lakes, Dry

1284
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 1: Lake number two. Those landowners would have to go to

1285
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 1: the state and say, hey, I think I can close

1286
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 1: my land off on this lake. The state says yea

1287
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 1: or nay. So far they have not said yes to

1288
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:52,320
Speaker 1: any of it. On those twenty seven lakes. But then

1289
01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:55,720
Speaker 1: the rest of these nonmandered lakes, all you know, two

1290
01:24:55,840 --> 01:25:00,599
Speaker 1: hundreds some of them all can be is that land

1291
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 1: owner will but only their land and they have to

1292
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 1: follow a specific set of signage and buoying of the lakes.

1293
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:11,680
Speaker 1: Am I correct in saying that the injunction lakes were

1294
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:17,760
Speaker 1: ones with public access provided by the state um as

1295
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:23,719
Speaker 1: in boat rams, well public easements, not necessarily rams. Yeah,

1296
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,759
Speaker 1: But so you have these lakes that are all supposed

1297
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 1: to be under the same classification, that all are following

1298
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:32,920
Speaker 1: different set of rules, and there's not really a clear

1299
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:38,080
Speaker 1: precedent on the existing law because this existing law has

1300
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 1: different rules for these lakes, different rules for these, and

1301
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 1: different rules for these, and none of it really makes sense.

1302
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 1: Are there any unexpected players in this? Meaning? Is everyone

1303
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 1: in this their viewpoint on it makes sense when you

1304
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 1: look at what their perspective is, meaning, Like we offer

1305
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 1: times as humans. This is the point I was gonna

1306
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: make about this, or like sort of the take home

1307
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,439
Speaker 1: for me on it. If you look at what we

1308
01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 1: do as humans, we'll have something happened that's not good

1309
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:18,320
Speaker 1: for us, are good for us, right, and we'll take

1310
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:23,040
Speaker 1: it and take the perspective that's advantageous to us and

1311
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:28,800
Speaker 1: sell it as what's right yeah, when really all it

1312
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 1: is is like what's right for me? Meaning how could

1313
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: it be Let's take some examples of stuff everybody knows about.

1314
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 1: How could it be? Like Bill Clinton lies about a

1315
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:44,680
Speaker 1: relationship you had with Monica Lewinsky. How could it be

1316
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:50,519
Speaker 1: that the people that don't think that's bad belong to

1317
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:54,240
Speaker 1: his political party, but the people who think it's bad

1318
01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 1: belong to another political party. Or you'd have someone and

1319
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 1: be like they're getting some trouble with the Ukraine, and

1320
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 1: people who don't belong to his political party, I think

1321
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 1: that's bad, but people who do belong his little party,

1322
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:09,960
Speaker 1: I think it's not bad. Meaning they're all acting like

1323
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 1: they think it's good or bad, but that's not what

1324
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 1: they're talking about there, talking about what's good for me,

1325
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 1: And then I'll tell people about it as though I

1326
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:24,400
Speaker 1: care about the truth. So my perspective on I would

1327
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:26,519
Speaker 1: just say, like if I lived here and I was

1328
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 1: in this fight, I would say, you know, I'm not

1329
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:32,840
Speaker 1: going to confuse it and act like, uh that I'm

1330
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 1: a moral like I'm doing what's morally correct. I'm gonna

1331
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:41,799
Speaker 1: tell you that I generally like people to have places

1332
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 1: to fish, So I'm gonna take the side of this

1333
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:47,360
Speaker 1: that opens up the most fishing for everybody, because that's

1334
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:51,479
Speaker 1: just my groove. And people would be like, I'm the

1335
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 1: kind of guy who likes to have a bunch of

1336
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:56,040
Speaker 1: stuff for myself and I don't want other people to

1337
01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 1: be able to do stuff. So I'm gonna act like

1338
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 1: I think it morally bad for you to come on

1339
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:09,519
Speaker 1: my lake. Like is anyone surprising? Is there anybody who's like, um,

1340
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:12,599
Speaker 1: I own all this lake, but by god, I want

1341
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:16,840
Speaker 1: everybody to come on it. Um or people being like, man,

1342
01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 1: I love to fish, but it just wouldn't be right

1343
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:22,520
Speaker 1: for me to fish that lake. Maybe a couple of individuals,

1344
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 1: but you haven't met him, you know. I want to know, like,

1345
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:28,519
Speaker 1: is there did you get what I'm saying? Is there

1346
01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:32,680
Speaker 1: like a multigenerational ranch family out there? And it's like

1347
01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:36,800
Speaker 1: Grandpa was like, yeah, we grew such and such, ran

1348
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:39,680
Speaker 1: all these fat cattle on this ground, but one day

1349
01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna flood. I told my son. And then when

1350
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 1: my son got it, he's like, yeah, we ran some

1351
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,600
Speaker 1: fat cattle. But then the floodwater started to rise just

1352
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:52,360
Speaker 1: like Grandpa said it would. And I told my son, hey,

1353
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:57,439
Speaker 1: this is what's happening. But out in the field, and

1354
01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 1: got blues toes off, you know, the old toad pasture.

1355
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 1: But one day that pasture is going to be dry again.

1356
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,160
Speaker 1: And now we're gonna be another hundred years down the

1357
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:13,120
Speaker 1: road and there's gonna be more people in South Dakote

1358
01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:15,680
Speaker 1: in that land. They're gonna be worth more. Whatever you do,

1359
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:18,479
Speaker 1: hang on to it. I don't care how long. I

1360
01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:20,360
Speaker 1: don't care how many wall I are living on it.

1361
01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:28,240
Speaker 1: Don't let no beercrats take the land. Yeah, the like

1362
01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:34,120
Speaker 1: who's square? Forget all that? Who's squaring off in this sportsman? Yeah,

1363
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:40,600
Speaker 1: are squaring off against landowners? Are people representing landowners? So

1364
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:45,200
Speaker 1: sportsman squaring off against private property interest groups? Yep, exactly

1365
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:50,759
Speaker 1: who's generally winning? Oh, I think without a doubt private

1366
01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:56,200
Speaker 1: property now so so sportsmen are getting locked out. Now

1367
01:29:56,439 --> 01:30:00,920
Speaker 1: see the private property interest groups or donors or whoever

1368
01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:04,639
Speaker 1: would argue against that. Because there hasn't been a whole

1369
01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:06,479
Speaker 1: lot of water shut down. I think we're at like

1370
01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:11,559
Speaker 1: five thousand acres or something, which it's a lot, but um,

1371
01:30:12,479 --> 01:30:15,760
Speaker 1: you know, percentage wise it's not it's not a lot. Now.

1372
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not worried about what's happening right now.

1373
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm worried about, you know, the long term eventually, like

1374
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:33,200
Speaker 1: what happens when when the non meandered waters running into

1375
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:37,599
Speaker 1: the meandered waters. Yeah, that we've ran into that issue.

1376
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:40,400
Speaker 1: So you have any public lake that is public by

1377
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:46,400
Speaker 1: definition from the state constitution, even through this relatively new amendment,

1378
01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:51,760
Speaker 1: and now it joins up across it, so that non

1379
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 1: meandered water then becomes part of the meandered lake. Yeah,

1380
01:30:56,280 --> 01:30:59,679
Speaker 1: so that becomes fair game. So there's been some lakes

1381
01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:05,120
Speaker 1: ago way bigger to this year that we're split nonmandered

1382
01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 1: and meandered at the start of the year and are

1383
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:12,200
Speaker 1: now meandered. They coupled. They coupled, So that's a net

1384
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:17,120
Speaker 1: gain if you're on the pro sportsman side. Right. Here's

1385
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 1: a good way to think about it. It's a great point,

1386
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 1: Cal read he brought it up. Let's think about like this,

1387
01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:26,680
Speaker 1: do sportsman, hunters and anglers in this neck of the

1388
01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:30,920
Speaker 1: woods here has their total acreage you might not know

1389
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:34,960
Speaker 1: the answer to this. Has their acreage that's accessible to

1390
01:31:35,080 --> 01:31:41,640
Speaker 1: them increased or decreased due to the flooding. Total acreage.

1391
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:48,719
Speaker 1: He edited it all up. I would still say before

1392
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:53,719
Speaker 1: or after the new law. Right now, with the flooding,

1393
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: it's increased. Yeah this year, this year before and after

1394
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:02,519
Speaker 1: the law, it's still in that decrease. God, I got you.

1395
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:06,360
Speaker 1: So this new round of flooding helped set things straight

1396
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 1: a little bit, but it helped a little bit, but

1397
01:32:08,120 --> 01:32:11,760
Speaker 1: it didn't completely offset what changed with the new law.

1398
01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:14,960
Speaker 1: But it's so interesting too, because what if you don't

1399
01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:20,599
Speaker 1: consider yourself a u fishy kind of sportsman, what if

1400
01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 1: you're more of an upland game to have a sportsman,

1401
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:28,280
Speaker 1: You're just screwed here. Yeah, everything's under water. Yeah, pheasants

1402
01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:31,559
Speaker 1: are all swimming around all the spots you would pheasant

1403
01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:35,479
Speaker 1: hunter slesing full of ducks. They got booy's tied to them.

1404
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:42,560
Speaker 1: Now what I worry peasant does on my land? What

1405
01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:45,519
Speaker 1: I worry about in the long run, It's just that

1406
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:50,439
Speaker 1: there's no real precedent set because you have like I

1407
01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:55,160
Speaker 1: just can't imagine, you know, on let's say the US

1408
01:32:55,240 --> 01:33:00,600
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. I can't imagine where these three types of

1409
01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, these three different lakes that are all non

1410
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:07,080
Speaker 1: meandered being treated different. I can't imagine how that would

1411
01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:10,800
Speaker 1: hold up as any precedent that, oh, this one gets

1412
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:13,880
Speaker 1: special treatment because they fought it in court in you know,

1413
01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:18,439
Speaker 1: or something, but this one didn't fight it in court,

1414
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:23,360
Speaker 1: so it gets treated differently. But this third one had

1415
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:27,080
Speaker 1: more sportsman using it than option to, so it gets,

1416
01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, more preferential treatment than option two. I just

1417
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:34,240
Speaker 1: don't understand how that would ever fill up in the

1418
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:38,439
Speaker 1: long run as any precedent. So I'm not worried, you know,

1419
01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:42,000
Speaker 1: in the short run about our access. We've still honestly,

1420
01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:48,080
Speaker 1: the law has done its job for both sides, and

1421
01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:50,439
Speaker 1: it's hard for me, you know, it's hard to me

1422
01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:56,080
Speaker 1: sometimes that means that everybody's piste off. It's it's allowed.

1423
01:33:56,560 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of landowners the option of close

1424
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:03,360
Speaker 1: off land if they choose to. But for the sportsman,

1425
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:06,559
Speaker 1: you know, a plus is a lot of landowners haven't

1426
01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:10,360
Speaker 1: wanted to and haven't made a fuss and so but

1427
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:12,840
Speaker 1: in the long run, you're not comfortable with the way

1428
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:14,960
Speaker 1: things are left up in the air. Things are left

1429
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:16,679
Speaker 1: up in the air. So my brother has a sign

1430
01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:21,760
Speaker 1: on his property it says trespassers welcome. I like that man,

1431
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:23,760
Speaker 1: you don't see me signs and he had to have

1432
01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:29,479
Speaker 1: a custom made he couldn't find one. Is the state?

1433
01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:33,280
Speaker 1: Is the state buying up land that that that private

1434
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:38,880
Speaker 1: landowners can't um. They're like not allowed to um. I

1435
01:34:38,920 --> 01:34:43,200
Speaker 1: don't know there's like a known net uh state property,

1436
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,160
Speaker 1: but they're lost or something like that. They're at least

1437
01:34:48,040 --> 01:34:52,600
Speaker 1: so like one lake they're leasing the access to for

1438
01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:57,479
Speaker 1: eight thousand dollars a year and you can only fish

1439
01:34:57,520 --> 01:35:01,240
Speaker 1: it for it's like six months or what is it,

1440
01:35:01,400 --> 01:35:04,800
Speaker 1: five six, seven months, it's it's pretty much basically winter

1441
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:08,040
Speaker 1: you can't fish it right fall in winter you can't

1442
01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:11,800
Speaker 1: fish it. Um eight thousand a year and then the

1443
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:19,200
Speaker 1: landowner sets the fish limits and what they want to

1444
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:26,840
Speaker 1: be done with the fish biology. I was getting to

1445
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:32,920
Speaker 1: a spot where but I mean, no, that's that's European system, man.

1446
01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:35,719
Speaker 1: That is not how we do things in the United

1447
01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:42,639
Speaker 1: States of America. Ain't American, No, no, man, I mean

1448
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:47,560
Speaker 1: I think it's it is a raw deal. If you

1449
01:35:47,680 --> 01:35:53,920
Speaker 1: have water that the state puts fishing into and then

1450
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:59,640
Speaker 1: you make up the bag limits. Yeah, it's goofy, but

1451
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:01,800
Speaker 1: it's like a new lake and the thing is like

1452
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:09,479
Speaker 1: if your initials s R, there is no limit. It's

1453
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:16,080
Speaker 1: different from every lake is like not every lake. Every

1454
01:36:16,160 --> 01:36:19,760
Speaker 1: lake that the state leases is on a case by

1455
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:22,920
Speaker 1: case basis because like you can imagine a golf course

1456
01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:25,040
Speaker 1: and somebody just makes a lake in the middle of

1457
01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:27,760
Speaker 1: their private property and they can just do whatever they

1458
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:30,439
Speaker 1: want with it. Nobody would freak out about that. It's

1459
01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:35,040
Speaker 1: not really true, man, because it depends Like if you

1460
01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:39,160
Speaker 1: have a private lake, you're not exempt from fishery laws.

1461
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:43,400
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You don't like you could

1462
01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 1: own all around a lake, like you just talk about me, Well,

1463
01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:57,080
Speaker 1: you can't shad in there goldfish. No, No, there's a lot.

1464
01:36:57,240 --> 01:37:02,280
Speaker 1: There's a lot, there's fermiting, there's permitting processes for all this. Right,

1465
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:04,360
Speaker 1: even if you just have like a little it's different.

1466
01:37:04,400 --> 01:37:06,760
Speaker 1: You don't set but you don't Like if you own

1467
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:09,800
Speaker 1: a farm, Okay, yeah, you know you own a big farm.

1468
01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:12,920
Speaker 1: You don't say you don't set the deer season and

1469
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:15,320
Speaker 1: set the bag a limit for deer on your farm. Right,

1470
01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:20,160
Speaker 1: the state does because the state's wildlife. You're just hosting it, right,

1471
01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:22,000
Speaker 1: But like if you put a bunch of goldfish in

1472
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:25,479
Speaker 1: your pond in the middle of your little private like

1473
01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:29,599
Speaker 1: can be illegal in your yard. You have to well

1474
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:34,000
Speaker 1: the state of South Dakota, for instance, And all of

1475
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:38,679
Speaker 1: a sudden, your little private pond grows exponentially and connects

1476
01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:44,120
Speaker 1: to ten other ponds, and then you're goldfish. For some reason,

1477
01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:48,760
Speaker 1: didn't read the property boundaries on the plat map and

1478
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:52,759
Speaker 1: connected themselves. Yeah, you got it all full of mermaids

1479
01:37:56,160 --> 01:38:00,040
Speaker 1: lake with goldfish m Yeah, which but I mean, and

1480
01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:02,840
Speaker 1: the state wasn't then for a long time, didn't care

1481
01:38:02,880 --> 01:38:06,200
Speaker 1: about invasive right, They just stocked all sources of stuff.

1482
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 1: Do you know about our Do you know about our

1483
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:12,800
Speaker 1: controversial T shirt coming out? No? You know we had

1484
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:14,719
Speaker 1: the T shirt of a gnome. We had the nome

1485
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:19,280
Speaker 1: packing out. A unicorn T shirt was aware very popular shirt.

1486
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:24,720
Speaker 1: It's a gnome. We got more coming out, sold him,

1487
01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:27,040
Speaker 1: sold out him. Oh, we sold him out and sold

1488
01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:28,960
Speaker 1: him out and sold him out again, and then they

1489
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:32,280
Speaker 1: went off. Now they're coming back for the holidays. It's

1490
01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:36,960
Speaker 1: a gnome. What is bow And he's got a decapitated unicorn.

1491
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:40,240
Speaker 1: He's got a unicorn head like a unicorn cape strapped

1492
01:38:40,280 --> 01:38:43,200
Speaker 1: to his backpack. Well, we got one coming out now

1493
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:47,880
Speaker 1: it's the same Gnome. He's a recurring character, and he's

1494
01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:52,040
Speaker 1: on his boat's crazy little nome boat, and he's tied

1495
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:54,760
Speaker 1: in with his crazy little Noome rod, like a level

1496
01:38:54,800 --> 01:38:58,880
Speaker 1: wine nome rod. And what he's hooked into. There's a

1497
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:05,439
Speaker 1: mermaid fighting a mermaid circle hook. I don't know. You

1498
01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:08,120
Speaker 1: can't see the hook. You see her, but you can't

1499
01:39:08,120 --> 01:39:11,040
Speaker 1: see the hook. She's lip hooked, but you can't see

1500
01:39:11,040 --> 01:39:13,439
Speaker 1: your lips. It's a quarter of the mouth, or you

1501
01:39:13,479 --> 01:39:15,720
Speaker 1: can't see your face. But the lot, the direction of

1502
01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:19,559
Speaker 1: the line suggests that she's lip hooked. She's here one

1503
01:39:19,640 --> 01:39:22,679
Speaker 1: over for the day. Though people have found that some people,

1504
01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 1: people who have got a sneak peek at this and

1505
01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:29,599
Speaker 1: have seen this or seen it on social media, it's

1506
01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:32,880
Speaker 1: generated some controversy, like people are suggested. Some people are like, oh,

1507
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:39,040
Speaker 1: you're saying, um, it's okay to eat mermaids mermaids or

1508
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:44,760
Speaker 1: some people feel that it has a sexual connotation, which

1509
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:46,599
Speaker 1: makes me wonder what they do with fish they catch.

1510
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:54,120
Speaker 1: But but yeah, it's a controversial t shirt. Even within

1511
01:39:54,240 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 1: our company. It's been some people who have tried to

1512
01:39:57,880 --> 01:40:02,679
Speaker 1: tried to censor shirt. So that'll probably make it more popular. Yeah,

1513
01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:07,560
Speaker 1: because they're like, it's a mate believe creature catching a

1514
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:10,360
Speaker 1: mate believe creature. But it's somehow so like a human

1515
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:14,360
Speaker 1: can dress up as a mermaid pretty easily versus unicorn.

1516
01:40:14,800 --> 01:40:17,160
Speaker 1: Ridge founder felt that it should be someone scaling a

1517
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:23,120
Speaker 1: mermaid's tail. The Norman is scaling its tail, which I

1518
01:40:23,160 --> 01:40:26,840
Speaker 1: didn't think it was great, But I okay. I think

1519
01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:32,040
Speaker 1: it's a courtship ritual between gnomes and mermaids. That's how

1520
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:35,759
Speaker 1: they courtship. That's how they court. What's the creature created

1521
01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:40,840
Speaker 1: from a gnome mermaid? It's not that's uh, it's not viable.

1522
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:46,840
Speaker 1: It's not viable. Off it's like a it's like it's

1523
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:48,800
Speaker 1: like a mule. Yeah. I don't I don't think I

1524
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:51,200
Speaker 1: have a judgment on it. It's a weird shirt. It's

1525
01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:54,439
Speaker 1: great shirt's best shirt ever made? Is your favorite best

1526
01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:57,479
Speaker 1: shirt ever made? Really think about having it printed to

1527
01:40:57,520 --> 01:40:59,720
Speaker 1: get this on baby blue, because I feel like that

1528
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:08,240
Speaker 1: blue offset some of the impending violence. Soft. Yeah, if

1529
01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:10,160
Speaker 1: you wouldn't put it on a Camo shirt. I mean,

1530
01:41:10,200 --> 01:41:13,640
Speaker 1: if the mermaid was catching the too aggressive. I like that.

1531
01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:16,760
Speaker 1: I like the mermaid catching the gnome, but the Nome

1532
01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:20,400
Speaker 1: does live under water. Well, the mermaids drowning the Gnome.

1533
01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:24,519
Speaker 1: Maybe she's like coming up out of one of those

1534
01:41:24,600 --> 01:41:29,080
Speaker 1: little backyard waterfall ponds she's in there, comes up grabbing

1535
01:41:29,120 --> 01:41:36,599
Speaker 1: the yard. Now it's not a yard, Noome like it's up.

1536
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:38,800
Speaker 1: If that happens, then we can't come out with another

1537
01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:43,840
Speaker 1: T shirt. There. The third Gnome shirt is in the works,

1538
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:49,040
Speaker 1: So you got another follow up. The follow up is

1539
01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 1: in the involves the Gnome and another mythic creature also

1540
01:41:55,280 --> 01:42:01,240
Speaker 1: caught in a violent act. I mean, yeah, how do

1541
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:02,720
Speaker 1: they bring it up? Cause I was talking about you

1542
01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:05,200
Speaker 1: having mermaid stocked in your pond and they all get

1543
01:42:05,200 --> 01:42:12,040
Speaker 1: away and get into the Yeah. So uh, here's why

1544
01:42:12,040 --> 01:42:13,599
Speaker 1: I think this is relevant even to people that are

1545
01:42:13,600 --> 01:42:16,559
Speaker 1: in South Dakota. One. You just never know driving around here.

1546
01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:18,800
Speaker 1: Cal has remarked three or four times in our in

1547
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:21,360
Speaker 1: our last two great days of dark hunting in one

1548
01:42:21,400 --> 01:42:27,080
Speaker 1: day at Walleye Fishing, um Man, you think you're gonna

1549
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 1: tell little my nature how it goes, and you can

1550
01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:33,920
Speaker 1: now and then a little bit, but you think you're

1551
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:39,000
Speaker 1: gonna tell my nature what's up? Or you like picture

1552
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:44,559
Speaker 1: that the earth is away, but that's a field. Yeah. Yeah.

1553
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:51,280
Speaker 1: Then also she's like it's not it's late. Yeah. And

1554
01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:54,880
Speaker 1: on time scales, surprise, this is so fast that it's

1555
01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:57,080
Speaker 1: a time scale that we can actually understand. Like we

1556
01:42:57,240 --> 01:43:00,080
Speaker 1: obviously know things used to be oceans or seas, her

1557
01:43:00,200 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 1: maids swimming around everywhere. Whatever. We'd like hear these things

1558
01:43:03,439 --> 01:43:05,880
Speaker 1: that geological history. But this is like so fast that

1559
01:43:05,920 --> 01:43:07,960
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, like five years ago there was no

1560
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:12,000
Speaker 1: lake and now it's yeah. I mean you're talking about

1561
01:43:12,080 --> 01:43:16,800
Speaker 1: people that are sitting at the bar that remember when

1562
01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:19,679
Speaker 1: there was no water exactly, or you're trying to find

1563
01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:23,720
Speaker 1: follow your GPS system and you're now a towner with

1564
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:26,720
Speaker 1: a rental vehicle and you're following your GPS system and

1565
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:32,240
Speaker 1: keep d through a lake. Yeah. Uh. There's two lines

1566
01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:38,840
Speaker 1: from John mcfee's Pulitzer Prize winning book Animals of the

1567
01:43:38,920 --> 01:43:42,720
Speaker 1: Former World, which is like a geological history book. There's

1568
01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:46,720
Speaker 1: two lines that I think of hanging around here where

1569
01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:49,800
Speaker 1: you're like, man, it changed so much. But one is

1570
01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:53,920
Speaker 1: this one line from mcfee's book is that the top

1571
01:43:54,200 --> 01:43:59,680
Speaker 1: of Mount Everest the highest thing in the world. In

1572
01:43:59,760 --> 01:44:07,599
Speaker 1: our world, the top of Mount Everest is marine limestone. Wow.

1573
01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:13,520
Speaker 1: The other thing is this is that if you imagine

1574
01:44:13,560 --> 01:44:20,479
Speaker 1: the Earth's history as your arms stretched out, so it's

1575
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:23,360
Speaker 1: a line, a number like a line, can you imagine

1576
01:44:23,400 --> 01:44:27,120
Speaker 1: it's history expressed by your arms being stretched out wide?

1577
01:44:29,439 --> 01:44:34,200
Speaker 1: He explains that you could remove the entirety of human

1578
01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:45,800
Speaker 1: history with one stroke of a nail file, and so yeah,

1579
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:50,120
Speaker 1: there goes that part of the Earth's history off the

1580
01:44:50,240 --> 01:44:55,200
Speaker 1: number line. So when you think about all that, they're like, yeah, man,

1581
01:44:56,360 --> 01:45:00,519
Speaker 1: of course no ship, like, no ship, it's lake now,

1582
01:45:02,040 --> 01:45:08,400
Speaker 1: Like of course that mountain that's twenty Yeah, that used

1583
01:45:08,439 --> 01:45:13,160
Speaker 1: to be the bottom of the ocean. Yeah, well just

1584
01:45:13,280 --> 01:45:18,799
Speaker 1: northeast to here. Lake Agasy, you know, used to cover States.

1585
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:23,920
Speaker 1: Monster Lake. Yeah, you're talking about the big lake. You

1586
01:45:24,080 --> 01:45:26,280
Speaker 1: have all the dinosaurs winding around the edge of it. Yeah.

1587
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:35,080
Speaker 1: So but the rapidity, it's so fast. It's fast enough

1588
01:45:35,160 --> 01:45:38,439
Speaker 1: that it makes sense in our we're not very good

1589
01:45:38,479 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 1: at long term things like all that stuff. We can

1590
01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:44,920
Speaker 1: kind of imagine it on some arm length metaphor. But

1591
01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:47,280
Speaker 1: it's fast enough that you're like, huh, I used to

1592
01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:52,240
Speaker 1: be able to drive down this road. Yeah yeah, yeah,

1593
01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:54,360
Speaker 1: like when I was on my prime date. Yeah, like

1594
01:45:54,560 --> 01:45:58,120
Speaker 1: just a little bit ago. This was a county road,

1595
01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:01,800
Speaker 1: and you feel Rick Rick has commented a number of

1596
01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:05,559
Speaker 1: times that it's like welcome to the anthropascene. It's it's

1597
01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:09,320
Speaker 1: I mean, one, it's a super visual of like an apocalypse.

1598
01:46:09,400 --> 01:46:12,280
Speaker 1: Tell people what the anthroposne is, just like the human

1599
01:46:12,880 --> 01:46:16,040
Speaker 1: human age where we are sort of affecting the earth

1600
01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:18,479
Speaker 1: on a global Yeah, we had the place the scene

1601
01:46:18,920 --> 01:46:23,640
Speaker 1: Ice Age, the Holow scene, which we're in now. But

1602
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:25,880
Speaker 1: some people feel the Hollow scene was cut short by

1603
01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:31,240
Speaker 1: the anthropasy and meaning man became the driving factor of

1604
01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:36,560
Speaker 1: the driving global factor, unlike a geologic geological uh, the

1605
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:43,559
Speaker 1: worthy geological epicopic driver. And in this in this case,

1606
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:48,439
Speaker 1: you know, irrespective of what's causing the increased rainfall, you

1607
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:53,679
Speaker 1: just it feels apocalyptic in some ways. To see Barnes underwater,

1608
01:46:53,760 --> 01:46:56,439
Speaker 1: Barns underwater, it feels like a like a road to

1609
01:46:56,520 --> 01:47:00,240
Speaker 1: Go Nowhere movie kind of thing. Like there's just I'm

1610
01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:03,880
Speaker 1: not getting a horror vibe off horror. Yeah, there's just

1611
01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:06,720
Speaker 1: like whole buildings that are just like in a like

1612
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:10,800
Speaker 1: flood horror. Yeah, we saw that. We saw a house

1613
01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:14,560
Speaker 1: that like looked fairly new, Yeah, fairly had water like

1614
01:47:15,479 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 1: the waves were hitting the side of the house. Yeah

1615
01:47:19,439 --> 01:47:22,920
Speaker 1: in the frame. Yeah, yeah, we were wanting that dude

1616
01:47:22,920 --> 01:47:25,200
Speaker 1: still living in there, not know. And then there's like sandbags,

1617
01:47:26,840 --> 01:47:29,920
Speaker 1: he's got his muck boots on. No, but then it's

1618
01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:33,400
Speaker 1: watching the pack. It depends who you are. If you're

1619
01:47:34,200 --> 01:47:36,519
Speaker 1: if you're a farmer in your field is underwater, it's

1620
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 1: like you can't harvest, it's like a loss on the

1621
01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:41,519
Speaker 1: year or whatever. But if you're horror movie, like that

1622
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:46,840
Speaker 1: kind of horror movie, I see lots of horrors. Yeah,

1623
01:47:46,920 --> 01:47:48,879
Speaker 1: but I feel like I could set like some spooky

1624
01:47:49,280 --> 01:47:55,880
Speaker 1: supernatural situation here. Yeah, but outside of the movie deal. Uh,

1625
01:47:56,280 --> 01:47:58,720
Speaker 1: it's just like depending on who you are, it's either like, oh,

1626
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:01,000
Speaker 1: this is the greatest thing ever. Like the duck hunting

1627
01:48:02,280 --> 01:48:06,200
Speaker 1: aided by all these all this water is like increased habitat.

1628
01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:13,880
Speaker 1: The ducks seem super happy, thrilled, thrilled. Yeah. So there's

1629
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:19,840
Speaker 1: like winners and losers in whatever change happens. And and

1630
01:48:20,320 --> 01:48:23,800
Speaker 1: as things whatever changed in the environment, there's there's winners

1631
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:26,960
Speaker 1: and losers. These guys, well, I really love is uh

1632
01:48:27,160 --> 01:48:36,639
Speaker 1: that you guys have been catching walle um bouncing jigs

1633
01:48:37,400 --> 01:48:47,480
Speaker 1: down the road? Oh yeah, truthfully, and walleye off blacktop

1634
01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:52,840
Speaker 1: roads in April and May. There is absolutely not a

1635
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:55,960
Speaker 1: chance there's any better spot to catch walleye than a

1636
01:48:56,040 --> 01:49:00,040
Speaker 1: road flat out. Every you go down the road, the

1637
01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:03,599
Speaker 1: road vanishes under lake your park. You put on your waiters,

1638
01:49:03,840 --> 01:49:06,719
Speaker 1: and you keep walking down the road casting. You wait

1639
01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:10,920
Speaker 1: till you're just at that point where your elbows would

1640
01:49:10,920 --> 01:49:13,640
Speaker 1: start to get wet. Don't go any farther, and then

1641
01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:18,400
Speaker 1: start casting the ditches into the ditch. Yeah, cast ditch

1642
01:49:18,640 --> 01:49:26,240
Speaker 1: work up along it, white plastics, catch one hook to

1643
01:49:26,320 --> 01:49:29,760
Speaker 1: a stringer, hook to your waiters, white plastics, and the

1644
01:49:29,840 --> 01:49:33,200
Speaker 1: ditches only one over. Yeah. I wonder if they'll be

1645
01:49:33,240 --> 01:49:39,639
Speaker 1: saying that about Miami, like, wow, amazing structure. Yeah, people

1646
01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:45,120
Speaker 1: are like people are getting like this coffee shop. But

1647
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:50,720
Speaker 1: now I'm so happy because there's yeah where you get

1648
01:49:50,760 --> 01:49:57,160
Speaker 1: that group or a hotel, you know, the stone Crab place. Um.

1649
01:49:58,560 --> 01:50:01,639
Speaker 1: So it's really terrible. It's so weird to be here, man.

1650
01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:03,960
Speaker 1: And I mean, I keep trying to Here's the problem

1651
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:06,040
Speaker 1: I keep running into as a human being. I keep

1652
01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:10,479
Speaker 1: running into. This problem is that I'll look around in

1653
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:13,960
Speaker 1: some part like I look around, I look at all

1654
01:50:13,960 --> 01:50:18,120
Speaker 1: the ducks here and everything and all the fish, and

1655
01:50:18,280 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 1: some part of me is, um, I don't think. I

1656
01:50:21,400 --> 01:50:22,960
Speaker 1: don't want to say it's a bad part of me,

1657
01:50:23,200 --> 01:50:27,880
Speaker 1: but some part of me is like not horrified, like

1658
01:50:28,080 --> 01:50:30,600
Speaker 1: kind of like good nature won this deal or just

1659
01:50:30,760 --> 01:50:33,720
Speaker 1: some some sort of like I don't know, like just

1660
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:37,479
Speaker 1: being like blown away by it, right and all the

1661
01:50:37,760 --> 01:50:39,720
Speaker 1: all the ducks. If you're looking at an absence of

1662
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:41,720
Speaker 1: wildlife would be different, but you're looking and it's like

1663
01:50:42,560 --> 01:50:46,479
Speaker 1: it's like stuff using it. We've seen a huge white tails,

1664
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:51,840
Speaker 1: giant salamanders, but the waterfowl everywhere. I forced myself to

1665
01:50:51,960 --> 01:50:54,599
Speaker 1: be like, but there are people who are losing their

1666
01:50:55,360 --> 01:50:58,720
Speaker 1: uh not losing their lives, but losing their livelihoods. So

1667
01:50:58,800 --> 01:51:03,559
Speaker 1: I'm like, and this is amazing, but remember but it's

1668
01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:06,639
Speaker 1: always the first thought I always have. It is like wow,

1669
01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:11,360
Speaker 1: then I gotta go. But don't feel too good because

1670
01:51:11,439 --> 01:51:13,519
Speaker 1: look what this means for people. But it's been like

1671
01:51:13,560 --> 01:51:15,479
Speaker 1: confusing for me because I'm an outsider too. And when

1672
01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:18,519
Speaker 1: you're an outsider, you don't um your empathy is a

1673
01:51:18,560 --> 01:51:21,360
Speaker 1: little bit tougher because you just don't know the people impacted.

1674
01:51:22,040 --> 01:51:24,040
Speaker 1: When you live here and you know the players. You know,

1675
01:51:24,240 --> 01:51:25,920
Speaker 1: maybe you get to where you look at it just

1676
01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:29,720
Speaker 1: all looks like disaster. But to be an outsider, um,

1677
01:51:30,920 --> 01:51:34,280
Speaker 1: to be an outsider here for the purpose of hunting, ducks,

1678
01:51:34,360 --> 01:51:37,960
Speaker 1: here for the purpose of fishing. You look and ducks

1679
01:51:38,040 --> 01:51:40,400
Speaker 1: and fish like water. You're looking like, man, this is

1680
01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:43,599
Speaker 1: like a wildlife paradise. And you go like, but you're

1681
01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:45,280
Speaker 1: kind of an asshole for saying that, because this is

1682
01:51:45,400 --> 01:51:51,400
Speaker 1: people's livelihoods, tons and tons and thousands and thousands and

1683
01:51:51,520 --> 01:51:56,880
Speaker 1: thousands of tons of food gone to waste. How many

1684
01:51:56,960 --> 01:52:00,559
Speaker 1: times this morning were we sitting there look out over

1685
01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:04,320
Speaker 1: that flooded bean field, and you know, the cloud gets

1686
01:52:04,400 --> 01:52:06,759
Speaker 1: up and we all go, wow, look at all those ducks.

1687
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:10,960
Speaker 1: And in that moment you're like, you're so excited about

1688
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:13,559
Speaker 1: that cloud of ducks, but you realize they just came

1689
01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:17,200
Speaker 1: out of a hundred acres of flooded crop that's not

1690
01:52:17,320 --> 01:52:21,080
Speaker 1: going to be harvestable and costs a lot of money

1691
01:52:21,160 --> 01:52:22,960
Speaker 1: to put in. A ton of money I made. I

1692
01:52:23,040 --> 01:52:26,760
Speaker 1: made the comment about um, when you look at this

1693
01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:30,200
Speaker 1: giant field, fields of corn and fields, and you know

1694
01:52:30,439 --> 01:52:32,000
Speaker 1: it might dry out and they get the corn used

1695
01:52:32,040 --> 01:52:33,600
Speaker 1: for silage or whatever. But you're looking at all this,

1696
01:52:33,960 --> 01:52:36,960
Speaker 1: but a lot of those a good disk into the ground. Um.

1697
01:52:37,200 --> 01:52:40,600
Speaker 1: You look at all that and you imagine just like

1698
01:52:40,760 --> 01:52:45,040
Speaker 1: the grain trucks and grain cars, and you think about

1699
01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:47,280
Speaker 1: the way, like I yell at my kids about not

1700
01:52:47,840 --> 01:52:51,639
Speaker 1: finishing the cobb of corn, they'll do the time, they'll

1701
01:52:51,680 --> 01:52:53,880
Speaker 1: do like three typewriter rolls off cobb of corn. They'll

1702
01:52:53,920 --> 01:52:55,400
Speaker 1: be done. I'll be like, no, no, I take that last.

1703
01:52:55,680 --> 01:53:00,400
Speaker 1: Don't waste that food. Shouldn't waste food, you know, annoyed

1704
01:53:00,439 --> 01:53:02,200
Speaker 1: at them. They got half a cop of corn and

1705
01:53:02,280 --> 01:53:05,680
Speaker 1: an eat quarter of that, and you're piste neither look

1706
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:08,479
Speaker 1: at that corn field and you're like, oh, man, yeah,

1707
01:53:08,800 --> 01:53:15,320
Speaker 1: do you imagine scraping out into the trash. It's been

1708
01:53:15,439 --> 01:53:18,759
Speaker 1: so interesting being here. Man, all that tofu gone to waste.

1709
01:53:20,840 --> 01:53:26,200
Speaker 1: Shooting ducks over wasted tofu uh fed ducks. Yeah, But

1710
01:53:26,280 --> 01:53:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that they would This soy wouldn't wind

1711
01:53:29,439 --> 01:53:31,400
Speaker 1: up there because this is an organic soy means you know,

1712
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:35,720
Speaker 1: does they make a non organic tofu that someone does? Oh,

1713
01:53:35,800 --> 01:53:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure I would imagine a lot. Yeah. But if

1714
01:53:38,640 --> 01:53:41,000
Speaker 1: you talk about eating ducks, you talk about them being organic,

1715
01:53:41,200 --> 01:53:44,280
Speaker 1: you got an earth thing common man, especially in this area.

1716
01:53:45,200 --> 01:53:49,400
Speaker 1: These are not organic ducks. Like you said, there's probably

1717
01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:53,720
Speaker 1: not a non GMO duck in the country. Yeah, if

1718
01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:56,519
Speaker 1: you killed a duck of the year up in Alaska, right,

1719
01:53:57,280 --> 01:54:00,160
Speaker 1: but once that thing hits the once that things a

1720
01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:02,439
Speaker 1: few months in lower forty eight, it's probably a little

1721
01:54:02,560 --> 01:54:04,800
Speaker 1: chance that he didn't at some point in time wind up,

1722
01:54:05,479 --> 01:54:09,240
Speaker 1: at some point in time wind up eating eating GMO,

1723
01:54:10,479 --> 01:54:13,840
Speaker 1: GMO products with pesticides and herbicides. And and how many

1724
01:54:13,920 --> 01:54:21,200
Speaker 1: ducks do we eat last night? Nice eight more than

1725
01:54:21,280 --> 01:54:25,240
Speaker 1: nine or ten of them? And I mean I didn't

1726
01:54:25,280 --> 01:54:31,559
Speaker 1: hear anybody complain about a single bite two big duck

1727
01:54:31,640 --> 01:54:35,400
Speaker 1: breasts and legs, and man, they were absolutely delicious. Or

1728
01:54:35,560 --> 01:54:40,840
Speaker 1: we clean our walleys yet no, no yet, man, Yeah, alright,

1729
01:54:40,920 --> 01:54:46,880
Speaker 1: we can just ice those things for tonight. Um. I

1730
01:54:47,200 --> 01:54:51,400
Speaker 1: think it is a fascinating thought of like how we

1731
01:54:51,720 --> 01:54:57,640
Speaker 1: impose order over the landscape. Right. We got this area

1732
01:54:57,720 --> 01:55:00,440
Speaker 1: that's been in flux for thousands of years. I mean,

1733
01:55:00,480 --> 01:55:03,320
Speaker 1: where we are right now is how it is because

1734
01:55:03,360 --> 01:55:07,280
Speaker 1: of you know, this giant glacier that's at over the

1735
01:55:07,320 --> 01:55:09,200
Speaker 1: top of this place. Yeah, we used to be under

1736
01:55:09,200 --> 01:55:12,800
Speaker 1: a half mile ice so think about that. We're doing

1737
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:20,200
Speaker 1: real good that ship for ducks and uh. And then

1738
01:55:20,280 --> 01:55:26,040
Speaker 1: we lay out this incredible grid system of fences, these

1739
01:55:26,200 --> 01:55:30,720
Speaker 1: neat tidy rows of crops, all running at right angles,

1740
01:55:31,480 --> 01:55:37,400
Speaker 1: all GPS mapped, these roads, county roads, highway as, interstates,

1741
01:55:37,960 --> 01:55:43,800
Speaker 1: all arounding, neat tidy squares, rectangles, and then it just

1742
01:55:43,960 --> 01:55:47,560
Speaker 1: fills up with water and eliminates that stuff. We're like,

1743
01:55:47,680 --> 01:55:51,040
Speaker 1: there will be order, right, and it's like, well, yeah,

1744
01:55:51,960 --> 01:55:54,400
Speaker 1: there will not be order. Yeah, just wait a bit,

1745
01:55:54,720 --> 01:55:57,280
Speaker 1: maybe we'll come back, you know, and it will come back,

1746
01:55:57,720 --> 01:56:02,080
Speaker 1: and and and it's just it's fascinating to try to

1747
01:56:02,120 --> 01:56:03,960
Speaker 1: wrap your head around that. And then the fact that,

1748
01:56:04,480 --> 01:56:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, what we've been talking about is it is

1749
01:56:07,800 --> 01:56:11,960
Speaker 1: because of that change that this area, you know, it

1750
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:16,560
Speaker 1: has been so good to us wildlife wise. And you

1751
01:56:16,680 --> 01:56:19,680
Speaker 1: gotta think, like, if this water continues to rise just

1752
01:56:19,760 --> 01:56:23,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more, nobody can get in those fields.

1753
01:56:24,080 --> 01:56:27,680
Speaker 1: All that vegetation lays over, you get a big ice

1754
01:56:27,800 --> 01:56:32,480
Speaker 1: cap on it. This winter, that vegetation dies, nukes all

1755
01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:36,800
Speaker 1: the oxygen underneath, right, so you just have this giant

1756
01:56:36,960 --> 01:56:42,200
Speaker 1: layer of decay. All that food is gone, Like, this

1757
01:56:42,400 --> 01:56:44,200
Speaker 1: area is not gonna get a bunch of ducks back

1758
01:56:44,280 --> 01:56:48,640
Speaker 1: in it, right, not not like we're seeing right now.

1759
01:56:49,240 --> 01:56:52,160
Speaker 1: What Yeah, One thing they were saying is it doesn't

1760
01:56:52,160 --> 01:56:54,880
Speaker 1: get picked, it will get disted in. If it dries

1761
01:56:54,920 --> 01:56:56,800
Speaker 1: out the spring look at dissed then like if that

1762
01:56:56,960 --> 01:56:59,800
Speaker 1: corn doesn't like like you're saying, if it doesn't lay

1763
01:56:59,840 --> 01:57:03,120
Speaker 1: over and all that, but if it's if it's standing

1764
01:57:03,280 --> 01:57:06,000
Speaker 1: but rotten, it'll all get disked in. And then there's

1765
01:57:06,000 --> 01:57:09,240
Speaker 1: a lot of corns sitting there for those ducks. But

1766
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:12,800
Speaker 1: the stay is underwater. What's what's a what's a wet spring?

1767
01:57:12,880 --> 01:57:16,160
Speaker 1: Look like? Right? I can't get in the field. But

1768
01:57:16,680 --> 01:57:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's like it's not just because let's say

1769
01:57:20,120 --> 01:57:23,920
Speaker 1: you're just like so pro duct you're like, yeah, screw

1770
01:57:24,040 --> 01:57:27,040
Speaker 1: the houses and the ranches, like let it, let it

1771
01:57:27,200 --> 01:57:30,000
Speaker 1: just go back to wildlife. It's not gonna be like

1772
01:57:30,120 --> 01:57:34,800
Speaker 1: it is right now. No, Like there's no sense of permanence.

1773
01:57:35,080 --> 01:57:37,040
Speaker 1: And I guess from up an interesting point as we've

1774
01:57:37,040 --> 01:57:41,560
Speaker 1: been driving around discussing this is uh Dan Sean have

1775
01:57:41,640 --> 01:57:47,400
Speaker 1: been saying, like wetland, it is the thing that goes dry.

1776
01:57:48,360 --> 01:57:50,360
Speaker 1: But we're talking about wetlands. We're talking about things that

1777
01:57:50,440 --> 01:57:55,040
Speaker 1: are intermittent by nature. They're temporary, that's what they're that's

1778
01:57:55,080 --> 01:57:57,560
Speaker 1: what their whole purposes. They get wet and dry out,

1779
01:57:57,640 --> 01:57:59,560
Speaker 1: get wet and dry out, and it makes them rich.

1780
01:58:00,440 --> 01:58:05,440
Speaker 1: H makes them not stagnant mud, you know, stagnant silt

1781
01:58:05,520 --> 01:58:10,640
Speaker 1: on the bottom gives them that richness. Yeah. So yeah,

1782
01:58:10,760 --> 01:58:13,120
Speaker 1: it's like the same sense of permanence. Right, It's like,

1783
01:58:13,760 --> 01:58:17,440
Speaker 1: well it's a wet land. Well, god, now it's dry.

1784
01:58:18,080 --> 01:58:19,880
Speaker 1: Is it still a wet land? And the guy who

1785
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:23,000
Speaker 1: put in his fence in his house down here? Sense

1786
01:58:23,040 --> 01:58:26,040
Speaker 1: of permanence right is? I mean, it's just a it's

1787
01:58:26,040 --> 01:58:28,200
Speaker 1: an amazing thing to try to wrap your head around.

1788
01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:30,360
Speaker 1: It wasn't a wetland ten years ago, so it's not

1789
01:58:30,440 --> 01:58:34,280
Speaker 1: a wetland. Well, there's water sitting there now with grass

1790
01:58:34,360 --> 01:58:37,560
Speaker 1: growing and all sorts of wild You had a wetland

1791
01:58:37,640 --> 01:58:40,520
Speaker 1: hiding in plain sight. Yeah, and a bunch of kids

1792
01:58:40,640 --> 01:58:45,200
Speaker 1: dumped a bucket wall. I like that. It's not it

1793
01:58:45,440 --> 01:58:47,480
Speaker 1: sounds like a bad thing, but I like the indifference

1794
01:58:47,520 --> 01:58:50,160
Speaker 1: of nature doesn't care what you really want or how

1795
01:58:50,520 --> 01:58:53,600
Speaker 1: it all fits the puzzle, just it just kind of

1796
01:58:53,800 --> 01:58:59,320
Speaker 1: does its thing irrespective of of any end goal. Yeah, Kelly.

1797

1802
01:59:24,280 --> 01:59:26,560
Speaker 1: was covered in the news, it was like the end

1803
01:59:26,600 --> 01:59:32,120
Speaker 1: of other Nature slaughters Mother Nature heartlessly, right, and it's

1804
01:59:32,160 --> 01:59:35,480
Speaker 1: like it's just hailed. It's just it's just hail and

Speaker 1: its gravity. There was no motivation. There was Yeah, there

1806
01:59:39,280 --> 01:59:43,240
Speaker 1: was no motivation. There's no motivation, and like she was

1807
01:59:43,520 --> 01:59:46,400
Speaker 1: trying to reclaim what it originally, you know, like mother

1808
01:59:46,520 --> 01:59:53,280
Speaker 1: natures like ducks. It's just like, yeah, I smite the Yeah,

01:59:57,480 --> 02:00:06,000
Speaker 1: was like, um, the lake's pretty full. Now. That was

1811
02:00:06,120 --> 02:00:09,040
Speaker 1: last week and it was a bit a lot of

1812
02:00:09,160 --> 02:00:12,200
Speaker 1: ducks made it through it or whatever. It'll be interesting

1813
02:00:12,560 --> 02:00:15,680
Speaker 1: in you know, a year, two years from now to

1814
02:00:15,760 --> 02:00:19,280
Speaker 1: see what this area looks like, because two years ago,

1815
02:00:19,360 --> 02:00:22,800
Speaker 1: if you told me this area would have two foot

1816
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:26,560
Speaker 1: of water and all the corn and beans and thousands

1817
02:00:26,640 --> 02:00:28,840
Speaker 1: and thousands of ducks. This whole area two years ago

1818
02:00:29,000 --> 02:00:32,360
Speaker 1: was in a drought and that was crazy too. And

1819
02:00:32,800 --> 02:00:36,240
Speaker 1: so man, it's yeah, you're saying there was no water

1820
02:00:36,360 --> 02:00:39,720
Speaker 1: within twenty miles and there's no ducks. Yeah, there was

1821
02:00:39,760 --> 02:00:41,480
Speaker 1: no ducks. Yeah, that's time of year. You should look

1822
02:00:41,520 --> 02:00:45,320
Speaker 1: off in all in the horizon and see dust from combines.

1823
02:00:46,680 --> 02:00:49,440
Speaker 1: If you look off on the horizon, you see the

1824
02:00:49,600 --> 02:00:54,480
Speaker 1: clouds of stuff. Apocalyptic. It's the duck apocalypse. And a

1825
02:00:54,600 --> 02:00:57,800
Speaker 1: year from now you could be right back to dust,

1826
02:00:58,320 --> 02:01:01,960
Speaker 1: no standing water, none of that. No, just the nature

1827
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:04,520
Speaker 1: of it. Well, Sean, give us your concluders and tell people,

1831
02:01:21,960 --> 02:01:24,720
Speaker 1: business got its name. Is that song is right? Yeah?

Speaker 1: creative is my production business, and we film waterfowl show

1840
02:02:01,760 --> 02:02:06,240
Speaker 1: called The Grind, and UH travel all over chasing ducks

1841
02:02:06,880 --> 02:02:11,200
Speaker 1: and it's a man, it's been super cool. You got

1842
02:02:11,280 --> 02:02:13,040
Speaker 1: to meet a lot of cool people across the country

1843
02:02:13,120 --> 02:02:17,080
Speaker 1: and see something we didn't really talk about. But um,

1844
02:02:18,720 --> 02:02:22,560
Speaker 1: I love just learning duck behavior, learning the little different

1845
02:02:22,640 --> 02:02:25,840
Speaker 1: things they do in different areas. You know you pretty well.

1846
02:02:25,960 --> 02:02:29,960
Speaker 1: I've been impressed. You can go to Nebraska and see

1847
02:02:30,040 --> 02:02:33,040
Speaker 1: them when it snows a foot they'll just be in

1848
02:02:33,120 --> 02:02:35,680
Speaker 1: winter week because that's what they do there. But they

1849
02:02:35,680 --> 02:02:39,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't do that in South Dakota, you know. And um,

1850
02:02:41,200 --> 02:02:43,200
Speaker 1: I don't know when on my first duck hunt when

1851
02:02:43,200 --> 02:02:45,560
Speaker 1: I was nine and just been hooked since to the

1852
02:02:45,600 --> 02:02:50,280
Speaker 1: point I'm traveling chasing them for a living. So you

1853
02:02:50,440 --> 02:02:54,280
Speaker 1: learned a lot, man, Yeah, it was. It was fun too.

1854
02:02:55,040 --> 02:02:59,600
Speaker 1: It's been a lot of fun. It still got some

1855
02:02:59,600 --> 02:03:04,520
Speaker 1: more of those fat teal to stack up. That's my

1856
02:03:04,600 --> 02:03:11,760
Speaker 1: concluded saying he's got more teal stack up. We uh

1857
02:03:12,680 --> 02:03:19,080
Speaker 1: processed a few teal today. Um that looked like it

1858
02:03:19,240 --> 02:03:27,520
Speaker 1: was disproportionate in the amount of meat. Two lard. It

1859
02:03:27,600 --> 02:03:36,040
Speaker 1: looked like a like a large serving spoonful of red

1860
02:03:36,200 --> 02:03:42,120
Speaker 1: meat wrapped in snow cap lard. Yeah, when you breasted

1861
02:03:42,200 --> 02:03:47,200
Speaker 1: that teal out with the skin still on fast coming

1862
02:03:47,360 --> 02:03:50,880
Speaker 1: so low and so fast, and so I have swung

1863
02:03:51,040 --> 02:03:53,560
Speaker 1: on I think four groups of teal and have not

1864
02:03:53,720 --> 02:03:56,920
Speaker 1: squeezed the trigger one time time. I was like, I'm

1865
02:03:57,000 --> 02:04:00,800
Speaker 1: just a little seven ft behind that one. Yeah, I've

1866
02:04:00,840 --> 02:04:03,400
Speaker 1: pulled up on a bunch. I thought about pulling up

1867
02:04:03,400 --> 02:04:05,400
Speaker 1: on more. I have not touched around off on the

1868
02:04:05,480 --> 02:04:08,840
Speaker 1: teal yet. I killed Drake Mallard that came in with

1869
02:04:08,920 --> 02:04:11,920
Speaker 1: some teal. That was cool because they all came through

1870
02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:14,360
Speaker 1: and blew my hat off the top of my head

1871
02:04:14,400 --> 02:04:16,760
Speaker 1: almost so else I realized there's a Mallard like man,

1872
02:04:18,960 --> 02:04:28,320
Speaker 1: You're like no, uh yeah, boy, Dan and Sean, thank

1880
02:04:56,720 --> 02:04:59,280

1894
02:05:53,320 --> 02:05:57,440
Speaker 1: am wanting to move to mont No, no, no, no, dude,

1897
02:06:04,720 --> 02:06:06,240
Speaker 1: need to live in the flat land with all the

1898
02:06:06,840 --> 02:06:10,040
Speaker 1: missing toes. So what do you got, Danny? You got

1899
02:06:10,080 --> 02:06:11,840
Speaker 1: your final thoughts? You wanted to wedge in there. I

1900
02:06:11,920 --> 02:06:14,120
Speaker 1: guess I I want to end on a local proverb

1901
02:06:16,440 --> 02:06:19,080
Speaker 1: whisky is for drinking and waters for fighting. That that's

1902
02:06:19,120 --> 02:06:24,800
Speaker 1: not local. It's used a lot locally. I bet. Yeah,

1903
02:06:25,160 --> 02:06:27,000
Speaker 1: you gotta salt the cow if you want to catch

1904
02:06:27,040 --> 02:06:37,640
Speaker 1: the calf local either right, too thick to drink, too

1905
02:06:37,760 --> 02:06:44,240
Speaker 1: thin to plow right. I don't know if I have

1906
02:06:44,360 --> 02:06:48,680
Speaker 1: a good concluder. If you want to catch the calf,

1907
02:06:49,200 --> 02:06:50,800
Speaker 1: I have a good one. Lauren told me that, but

1908
02:06:50,880 --> 02:06:53,720
Speaker 1: I cannot say it on this program. Please don't then

1909
02:06:54,440 --> 02:06:56,640
Speaker 1: the cow if you want to catch the calf rick Uh.

1910
02:06:57,000 --> 02:06:59,920
Speaker 1: Season eight out? Oh yeah, it's out on Netflix. Yeah

1911
02:07:00,040 --> 02:07:03,640
Speaker 1: it won't, it won't. This won't come out. It'll people

1912
02:07:03,800 --> 02:07:05,760
Speaker 1: still go watch and leave it on. So it seems

1913
02:07:05,800 --> 02:07:07,680
Speaker 1: that they're watching it a bunch of times in a row. Yeah,

1914
02:07:08,760 --> 02:07:12,120
Speaker 1: it's hard to film these shows. Maybe unsubscribed from Netflix.

1915
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:16,960
Speaker 1: Wa wait, you subscribe and then just why then leave

1916
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:19,360
Speaker 1: the show on. It'll look like you got sick of

1917
02:07:19,440 --> 02:07:22,440
Speaker 1: it and quit and then this show came out and

1918
02:07:22,520 --> 02:07:24,360
Speaker 1: you went back and got it again. I think that's

1919
02:07:24,400 --> 02:07:26,160
Speaker 1: probably how a lot of the viewers feel. They like

1920
02:07:26,280 --> 02:07:30,880
Speaker 1: it that much. Yep, that's a great idea. Cal Yeah,

1921
02:07:30,920 --> 02:07:32,240
Speaker 1: and then make sure to leave it on. So it

1922
02:07:32,320 --> 02:07:36,400
Speaker 1: just seems like you can't get enough two weeks straight. Yeah,

1923
02:07:36,440 --> 02:07:43,960
Speaker 1: that you got nothing. Thirty nine gross three nine year

1924
02:07:43,960 --> 02:07:50,440
Speaker 1: old man almost yeah, yeah, thirty nine year old man.

1925
02:07:51,120 --> 02:07:55,400
Speaker 1: Oh my, My real concluder is you walk extremely fast

1926
02:07:55,680 --> 02:07:59,840
Speaker 1: and uh in deep water. Yeah, it's a different kind

1927
02:07:59,840 --> 02:08:02,120
Speaker 1: of walk. I can't walk like you know me walk.

1928
02:08:02,400 --> 02:08:04,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't walking like I normally walk. But I just

1929
02:08:04,680 --> 02:08:08,440
Speaker 1: you know what it is. You drive your knees forward. No, well,

1930
02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:10,720
Speaker 1: once you told me that it's because you were a

1931
02:08:10,840 --> 02:08:14,600
Speaker 1: musk rat. You know, we come full circle to the

1932
02:08:15,280 --> 02:08:19,480
Speaker 1: must tramping. Yeah, muskrat trap. So just I mean I

1933
02:08:19,640 --> 02:08:22,120
Speaker 1: was driving my knees for They just don't drive forward

1934
02:08:22,200 --> 02:08:24,480
Speaker 1: as fast as you were. Did you watch me a

1935
02:08:24,880 --> 02:08:29,480
Speaker 1: bird dog that crippled Mallard today out in the grass strip?

1936
02:08:29,640 --> 02:08:33,920
Speaker 1: I watched you out there. That's a good retrieve. Like

1937
02:08:34,040 --> 02:08:36,240
Speaker 1: he was dancing. I gotta practice that because look like

1938
02:08:36,320 --> 02:08:38,360
Speaker 1: he was dancing out there in the water, keeping up,
