No, I think it does work. I 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:02.120 think that heat may be uh seal the deal. No, 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.440 you know it works on r end, it doesn't work. Yeah, 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:08.680 you guys are doing everything you can. I just have 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.840 a real hard time believe in it that we could 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.280 say here on this show, like here's this guy Rick, 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:20.319 nice guy, drone enthusiast um, drone pilot, and then say 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:25.119 that that he's open to all comers, all female. No, No, 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:30.479 that's not the right words. He's opened U, he's opened up. 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:35.400 I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure. About about five minutes 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:39.160 before we started this podcastment, I think I said, ah, 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.840 let's not talk about that. No, No, no, no, no, no, 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.200 but you said it in a way. We're like. I 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.000 was like, Rick, we're gonna talk about You're like, okay, 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.760 I'm cool. He said that he knew that we would. Ye, 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:56.480 he's he was just saying that because so nothing trickles in. No. 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.000 I get some uh, I don't know. I get a 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.400 few Instagram mess just and then what do you how 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.520 do you vet them? I mean there's not a lot 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:09.600 of vetting. Maybe every most mostly don't respond. Are you 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:17.399 on any dating um applications right now? Rick Smith? Yeah? 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:21.280 But I mean how many Like I don't like that. 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.320 I mean, how many Rick Smiths could be running around 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:27.280 a lot? Oh, dude, there's probably like a dozen in Bozeman. 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:33.399 Richard Smith's really pretty common name. Yeah, so people can't 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.400 go find that. You know what probably has happening now, 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.160 I think about I just getting lost in the I 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.000 think there's so many Rick Smiths that we we plugged you. 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.480 I don't say, you know any nice enough guy, and uh, 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.160 the women all come to find you, but they want 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:51.600 up marrying other ricks other Ricks Smith. That's probably that's 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:56.079 probably what happens. Well, eventually all those Rick Smiths will 0:02:56.080 --> 0:03:00.960 be married. They'll be like, there's gotta be a single 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.040 Rick Smith out there somewhere and they'll find you. Yeah. 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.679 Seth likes this line aquory as much as Steve does, 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.359 which is saying a lot because this is Steve's favorite thing, 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.079 you know, because here's the thing, man, here's the thing. 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:16.960 I've been married a long time, so when I got married, 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.640 there was no When I was like single and dating, 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:27.000 there were no uh applications an dating apps. You had 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.360 to go like talk to talk to him, you had 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.880 to go down to the bar, so you couldn't just 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:37.640 sit there, you know, and be flicking through people. So 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:41.480 I'm interested, and I'm very interested in people who are 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:46.440 having this experience that I was never able to live. Yeah, 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.840 I mean, I think it's not as cracked up as people, 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:54.320 you know, people that are in committed relationships that look 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.400 look back and be like, oh, I wish there was 0:03:56.440 --> 0:04:00.200 a digital dating app when I was dating. I think 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:05.680 it's I think it's not that helpful, creates laziness. Yeah, 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:07.760 it's just a weird. It's hard to tell from a 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.920 picture like how people are, like whether you're attracted to 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:15.360 them or not, So you end up going what there's 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.240 a lot about a person that doesn't come through on 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:21.840 a photo that is instantly uh, like you're aware of 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.800 it when you meet the person in like a real stety. Yeah, 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.080 you know. I don't know that this conversation is gonna 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:32.920 be interesting, um to our listeners. But I'm sure I 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:37.000 really do not agree. I could tell pretty much everything 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.120 I need to know, well, because I look at what 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:45.440 they're doing. No, but it's all curated. I look into 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.520 their I look into their eyes, and I can tell 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:54.719 you you can do the whole thing if I was 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:58.120 on there, and uh, you can be well no, I mean, 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.120 let's just say for I mean, for me, heaven forbid, 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.680 I had let's just say factors in life led me 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.400 to have to go beyond there. I would look at 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.400 the pictures and I'd be like, oh, this person's fishing, 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.080 and um, I'm like, oh, you know, I'm attracted to him. 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.080 But then that was the only picture that I'm fishing 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.120 because I would I would look and I'd be like, 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.440 I can tell they really like to fish. They seem 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:28.080 like a nice person. That's that's very possible. And maybe 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.320 like my god, that girl's got split shot underneath your lip, 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:39.359 she keeps her wax burns in her lip.

Can we talk 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.320 about this? Live with two muskrat trappers. One was a 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:33.040 big weed smoker yep, and one didn't like the smoke weed. 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.959 But they like to trap muskrats together. Yep. That's interesting. 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.520 That's a team. It's a good premise of a little film. 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.160 And they didn't just like casually trapped muskrats. It was 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.760 like all day every day. You said they stacked them up. 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:50.160 Oh yeah, they had like five deep freezers going with muskrats. 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.040 Did they get You said they got about eight hundred? Yeah, 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.600 that winner I think and nose are in that little 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.240 mini muskrat boom that was a few years ago when 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:02.400 price is shot up. Uh, my buddies tell me, like, 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.120 what are you saying? They were getting like eight or nine. 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.720 My buddy was saying, like muskrats out of Horroric on Marsh, 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:11.839 he was getting like eighteen for big big rats. I 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.840 believe it. It was crazy. I mean our one roommate 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.840 like went and bought a brand new mud boat with 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.640 a fancy you know, surface to drive motor and all 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:24.280 that off muskrat money really set him up. Oh yeah, 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.559 Now he bought it to go get more muskrats, or 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.720 he bought it, well, he bought it with muskrat money 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.280 and used it to go get more muskrats. Can we 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:37.120 talk about what later happened to him? Oh he became paranoid? Wow? 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:43.800 Or no? I mean yeah, okay a little bit. He 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:47.640 thought it brought up a question we brought up here before, 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.960 just the foundation of the paranoid Well, it just it 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.280 brings up this interesting thing. Uh. Do people to smoke 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.840 a lot of weed like I us think that's smoking 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:02.800 a lot of weed aide you paranoid? Like it made 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.560 you think the government was doing stuff to you or whatever, 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.720 where there's aliens hanging around whatever. It's all the things 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:14.400 that weed smokers like to do it with their time. Uh. 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.720 But my brother one day brought up He's like, no, 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.000 I just think that there's the same kind of guy 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.480 that likes to think about aliens and likes to think 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.920 the government's out to get them. Um, likes to smoke weed. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.720 He could have gone both ways on that deal. Hard 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.600 to know. It's like, you know a lot of people 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.240 I think like all the both. Yeah, he's like, no, 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.640 I like to think about aliens, I like to think 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.360 that the government's out to get me, and I like 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.679 the smoke weed. And that's but I wonder if if 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:51.040 it's if if it causes it. Smoking a lot makes 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.080 you like alien. I think there's probably a level of 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:57.720 weed you can smoke to actually get paranoidal, absolutely right, 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.520 it's like or to get it to become an alien 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:03.160 enthusia Oh yeah, maybe you were just nailing enthusiasts and 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.680 then you smoked a lot of weed and became a professional. Yeah, 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.440 someone will probably send in because we didn't. You know, 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.439 I've been talking like I I got throw in a 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:15.319 quick correction that uh, A listener sent in a study 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:23.520 that proves that, um, gluten intolerance is not in fact 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:29.520 a partisan ailment. M M. I'd always thought it was 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:34.000 a thing that strikes people on the left, which maybe 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.920 always think it was a weird sickness, like how many 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:41.880 sicknesses are just well, maybe they're just more vocal about it. Yeah, yeah, 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:46.520 But in fact, gluten intolerance can, in fact does, in 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:51.440 fact strike both side left hand right, because it's a 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.880 real thing. They actually did a study on this. Yeah, 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.240 they asked people like you know whatever, you you know, 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.520 ask them about their politics and asked if they had 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.959 gluten intolerance. And it turns out the right wing people 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:04.319 can get gluten intolerance. I just say they keep quiet 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.200 about it. That's because they don't want to admit that 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.720 they have some sort of you know, because it's viewed 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:15.480 as a partisan condition. When I hear it, I'm like, oh, 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:21.360 disappointed about Hillary Clinton, all right. I just I just know, 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.640 like gluten intolerant. I'm like, oh, I don't know a 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.840 place like Italy, which they're all about their wheat and 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.040 they have like a whole gluten free deal, because people 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:36.160 really are gluten gluten in tolerant. I'm pointing out. I 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:37.800 don't want to dwell on it. I'm just pointing out 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:42.040 the place whereus wrong. And I just wanted to clarify 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:46.199 to connect. Correction. Uh, no, one, move on. Are you 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:50.400 blowing your two toes off with the shotgun? Right? Tell 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.800 us about that. Yeah, So me and a few buddies 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:59.040 were out hunting geese and a wheat field and uh 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:03.080 and we were in a layout blind uh kind of 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.240 a deal. And wait, you were in your own or 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:10.240 you were all we're not. We're playing that game where 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:14.480 you try to see how many people. Okay, so out 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.480 blind is a coffin? Think of like a coffin with 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:23.280 doors with doors, right, um and uh. The doors open 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.240 basically like your chest from the tip of your head 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:31.280 to the in between your toes is bisected and you 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:35.520 erupt from this coffin in like a semi laying position. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.160 And the bat there's a little bit of backrest that 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.320 could you a little bit of pitch because if you 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:45.880 have some powerful abs and you're used to doing sit ups, 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:50.560 there's no problem. But if you have unpowerful abs, you 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.040 can just be stuck. You can just be stuck. I've 0:13:53.080 --> 0:14:00.240 seen that springboards where you pull a lever up. I 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.120 got one. Yeah, it's an old man when he comes 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.040 up because he used to always be way behind. Be like, 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.160 dang it, Daniel, we gotta we gotta get a new blind. 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.079 I wish made one that spring and I see one 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.640 and I'm like, oh, the lord of that for him. So, yeah, 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:15.640 you did a great job, but we should probably set 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:19.680 the stage a little bit where explain the situation where 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.920 you used a layout blind whichever you guys want. So, yeah, 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.720 you're out scouting for geese. You see him in a 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.600 wheat field eating. We're gonna go out there and put 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:33.680 some field decoys out and then lay it out of cover. Yeah, yeah, 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.680 which means you can't right. Well, sometimes use it when 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:38.760 there is cover, like on a fence line or something 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.480 like that, or in like a kosher patch. That's pretty 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.400 effective too. But let's say you're out on the wheat 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.520 field and there's nothing to hide in and this scenario 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:51.600 there wasn't. We took the straw gathered up kind of 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:53.800 fill in. They got this little straps on the side, 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.000 and you just, yeah, you make it look like maybe 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.520 you're like a little hill. Your blinds are you try 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.760 to have a gradual like a graduate. Yeah, you don't 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.400 want to hard anything, so you might brush in the 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:11.240 edges and stuff anyway. So uh, and then the birds 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:15.040 come in and they get real clothes, their feet come out, 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:21.400 and I knows you guys call them their boots down 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:26.080 to the boot bags. And then you go take get them, 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:30.320 take them, shoot them, kill him whatever, and everybody pops up. 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.840 Grandpa throws the spring on this thing. Is that like 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.000 a push button? How does that work? It's like a lever? 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:40.440 You yang? Yeah, the spring shoots you up. So now 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.200 you don't even need to have Now you don't need 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:43.680 to be able to do any sit ups at all, 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:45.560 and you can still hunt goose up doesn't need to 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.320 be calibrated. I'm really worried about him. Did Grandpa end 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:55.800 up on his heels a couple of times? Daniel whind 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.320 that thing down a little bit, just coming a little hot. 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.320 So there you are, you're lay outbline, you blow your 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.680 toes off. Well, let's not we're jumping ahead here. So 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.480 a group of geese coming in with a few buddies 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.640 and uh, it's probably like twenties strong. And you know, 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.240 I'm just getting named up. It was my first year 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.680 in South Dakota. I was like, oh, yeah, man, never 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:23.960 really hunted geese much Louisiana Northwest Corner. Yeah, anyway, geese 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.120 are coming. So you rested you a lot of hunting 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.480 and fishing down there. Yeah, you grew up with it. Ye, 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:34.120 a lot with my grandpa and my dad. Your grandpa's 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.680 still down there and Oklahoma's where he lives and he 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.400 lived there at the time. Did you guys go down 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.880 south catch crayfish much? No? But I did work for 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:49.480 a crawfish catering company. We boiled up crawfish and no 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.560 it's not. But we've received bags and then cut up 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.000 your arms when you handle them and all this stuff. 0:16:55.280 --> 0:17:00.360 You guys hunt ducks down there all the time. Did 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.000 you fish car a little bit with a ski rope? 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.120 Just red fish and whatnot a little bit, not much 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.639 because it was like six hours away, so none of 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.240 the coastal activities somewhere. No, not really. Do you guys 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:19.720 get fish, catfish? Oh yeah, flatheads, channels, blues, squirrels, a 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:25.400 lot of jug lining squirrels. Absolutely. Rabbit still do rabbits, Yeah, 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:29.760 with dogs. Rabbit that's what I want to do. Man, 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.960 there you are, you blow your toes off. Alright, So 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:37.120 laying there, geese are coming in, so the way fresh 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:41.720 El Louisiana, all still pretty Southern accented, freaking out over 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.879 geese coming in because I wasn't used to hunting candy 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:49.000 geese anyway. So the way the gun lays, there's a 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:53.399 bar in front, like in between probably about your knees, 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.240 and then there's the feet in front of the bar, 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.200 and so I had to shoot your feet, yeah though 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.919 phoebe being mine and uh so you like rest your 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:06.560 shotgun on there, and as the geese are coming, I 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.480 slipped the safety off early. Yeah, it's getting ready and 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:14.720 getting excited. They're about twenty yards away and then uh 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:19.200 I I'll take him. Gun goes off as a start 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:22.879 coming up and then I just boom, boom, shoot too 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.719 all excited. Hold on minute, the gun goes off in 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:32.560 the blind. So I thought in my head, I okay, 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:34.040 you just don't. I didn't know what's going on. It 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:37.760 was so excited about the geese blacking out. Still do 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:41.439 it sometimes, especially with archery. That's just it's tough for 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:48.439 me anyway. So these uh so, anyway, so I come 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:49.919 up and then I shoot two geese and I'm like, 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:54.320 something feels weird. You know, there's pressure. You're you're you're 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.400 I want to dwell on this minute. You're so excited. 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:05.159 The your gun goes off in not in the blind 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:10.240 like the guns in the blind. Well, so barrels out 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.560 of the blind. I lift my my the back end 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.240 of the gun so I can vision this as the barrel, 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.480 lift the back end, you know, gun goes off. Boom, 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:25.479 So the tip of the barrel goes down towards in 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:29.800 the blind, I mean, not aiming it out at the geese. 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:32.159 And you were just well, I still got two left. 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:38.120 I didn't got left, kept going. At what point did 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:45.440 you realize that your toes were gone, well, I thank you, Seth. So, yeah, 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.000 I feel today at night, I'm getting undressed for this, 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:52.879 so I'm feeling a little pressure, a little heat, and 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.520 I'm like, dude, something's wrong. So I look at my 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:59.280 buddies and I then I realized what happened. Stand up, 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:03.320 free out start running around on it, and I was like, dude, 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.240 I don't. I remember saying like I don't. I think 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:06.640 I just like kind of grazed him, like I think 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:09.880 we can keep on because I was so excited to shoots. Oh. 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:12.560 My buddies like, no, dude, you're you're you're there's a 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:15.800 hole in your foot. So did you get any geese 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.479 at the two shots shot? Yeah? I believe I doubled 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:21.920 and my friends say I did. They did, but more 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.720 probably had a sympathy than anything else. Yeah, whatever, that's 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:29.320 a great story. That is my question. What I had 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:34.000 tennis shoes because it was August early. That doesn't help. 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:37.400 And my buddies always said, if you would have had 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:41.159 steel toe boots, man, just fine, steel toe boots, I 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:43.400 don't think you would. The thing with a Crimpton You're 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:47.720 out there was sneakers. Yeah, but this was very noticeable. 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:51.480 If it's sneakers. Oh yeah, like bottom blown out you 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:55.560 say that sneaker, No I should have Let's see the shop. 0:20:56.440 --> 0:21:00.280 And so you only lost two on the table. Does 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:06.000 your wife like this foot? She likes that foot. You 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:09.360 got a good hunk of look at that. But how 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:15.600 we explain? How does the big one? And yeah, we've 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:17.960 got a good shot of this folks who are interesting? 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:22.480 That interesting and uh, of course you can follow. You 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:24.439 can sign it on Instagram. Let me let me just 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:28.040 so no damage to the big toe. Yeah, we gotta 0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:31.399 make sure that the biggest toe in the group. And think, god, 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:34.920 there was kicking the phone out of my way. Man, 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:39.200 And she posted I can send you the surgical pictures too, 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.640 please if you can spread those apart, I can get 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:51.480 Steve's heading to clean the gap. I mean, he'lled up 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:55.800 pretty nice. Were you married at the time? I was not. 0:21:57.480 --> 0:21:59.239 I like how they kind of man. I like how 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:02.040 they're solely came back in towards each other. Lobster foot 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:04.200 a little flaw there. So you got the middle ones, 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:07.120 a lot of nicknames, three toes, eight toes. You ever 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:10.560 get athletes foot on that foot? No, not really, just 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:13.080 on the other one. Yeah, because the toes are tied together. 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:16.199 I mean, it speaks very much too how close the 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:20.400 foot was to the barrel, right, because how can it 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:26.080 there was other toes aren't scratched at all, and it 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:28.520 being other toes. I didn't know you punched the middle 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:32.680 out of there, that's probably yeah. Yeah, I want to 0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:34.520 thought you'd whittle away at the edge. I didn't know 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:36.960 you just blast the middle out of your toes. Yeah, 0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:43.440 this is missing your two front teeth of toes. Goofy 0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:46.600 if he was missing the edge toes? Yeah yeah, yeah, 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:48.960 you probably walk a straight linestone. I'm just fine. So 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:52.119 at what point did like the pain start? Man? About 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:55.760 five minutes in the pounding and feel like every heart 0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:59.320 beat and where was all that toe pulp? You know 0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:03.359 there wasn't m It's kind of yeah vaporized, didn't vapor 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:07.320 out there on a steel pellet somewhere it was? It 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:10.000 was did you look around? Like like if I didn't 0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:12.240 look around, it was freaking out. If I took your 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:16.880 two toes and a generous cut, because that's a generous cut, 0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:19.040 like it dug down in there. I took those two 0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:20.399 toes up when I put them in a blender and 0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:25.120 ground them up and flung them around you. They're damn sure, 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:28.760 be puns a foot around this room. Yeah, you're probably right. 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:30.960 So what happened to the toes? I'll sprayed all over 0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:34.560 the wheat somewhere. It look. I still have the blind 0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:36.520 that I used, and you can see the shot going 0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:38.200 in where it went in the boot bag and then 0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:43.040 coming out the other end. Any blood stains whose hunting 0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:47.000 spot was this? It is mine? Oh? Really? Okay, that's 0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:52.080 tell the land on what happened. You still still haunt 0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:57.680 that spot? H No, I haven't. I don't. I don't 0:23:57.680 --> 0:23:59.919 like to go back in that area. I was thinking. 0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:04.480 I was thinking, so it wasn't dan spot. That could 0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:09.239 have added to the hysteria, right, because you're new and 0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:12.440 excited to hunting geese, and if it's your spot that 0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:16.040 I got invited to and I just blew my toes off, 0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:18.960 I'd be like, oh my god, I'm never gonna get 0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:22.199 invited again. Oh that would go through my mind for sure. Man, 0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:24.560 we were going, You're like, well, yeah, I don't care 0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:29.760 if you it's my spot. We were going. We went 0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:32.720 with a guy that day who like, had never gone before. 0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:37.000 I don't think he's ever gone since. Imagine nothing trauma 0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:40.520 reducing the competition. So in a couple of minutes, it 0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:43.200 starts to throb in a nake and at first I 0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:46.600 I like that. You said that it felt like a pressure. Yeah, 0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:51.800 just pressure and heat, heat and pressure. So then my 0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:54.399 buddy goes and grabs are hunting van. But you still 0:24:54.680 --> 0:24:58.280 hopping around in your sneaker. I did right away, and 0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:01.040 then they were like, calmed down, lay down, pick it up. 0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:03.840 You took the sneaker off. You take the sneak off. 0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:07.399 Sneaker came off at the hospital. Yeah, that's because I 0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:09.920 wanted to do X rays. No, no, no, I don't 0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:11.640
