Um, what was the moment? What you're you're 49 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: so you're doing, You're like a radio DJ, and then 50 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: you're like, no, I'm gonna go to med school or 51 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: whatever they call it. What do they call it? Audiology school? 52 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: It's still a medical center at Vanderbilt. But what was that? 53 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: What was that decision? That aha moment? Well, honestly, I 54 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: do want to make some money. The radio gig was 55 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: when I was in school at the College of Charleston, 56 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: which my dad still calls my two year beach vacation. Um, 57 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: I was, I was all. I didn't know what I 58 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: wanted to do. At one point, I was biology, at 59 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: one point I was communications. I did some music classes, 60 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: and then, um, I as I got serious about my 61 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: life what I wanted to do, I thought I wanted 62 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: to be a speech pathologist. My mom is a speech 63 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: language pathologist, and I've always liked just the way she's 64 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: been able to balance her, you know, being a mom 65 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: and working in different capacities, and I thought, well, I 66 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: could do that. And then through those classes, I watched 67 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: a documentary about a kid that received a cochlear implant 68 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: who had been born deaf, and this little girl she 69 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: was working with the audiologist. After about two weeks after 70 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: her surgery, you meet with the audiologist who programs and 71 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: activate and turns on the implant for the first time. 72 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: And this little girl, who had never heard sound before, 73 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: had never experienced sound. The audiologists got everything all programmed, 74 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: and then this little girl's mom was standing behind her 75 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: and the audiologist goes, Okay, everybody, be really quiet. I'm 76 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: going to turn it on. Mam. I want you to 77 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,679 Speaker 1: say her name. And even though the kid had no 78 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: meaning associated with that sound, as a mother, now I 79 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: think about that and like, it still gives me chills 80 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: because mom says the kid's name in the kid's head 81 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: just like whips around and a mom of course it's like, 82 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: oh my baby, but I can I mean, can you imagine? 83 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: And so then that that just triggered it, and as 84 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: in my anatomy and physiology classes like I'm still I 85 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: will nerd out about the neuroscience of how we hear 86 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: and how you hear with your brain. And this part 87 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: on the that hangs off the edge of your your 88 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: head is just the transducer. You gotta have it sent 89 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: to the brain in a content, in a in a 90 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: signal that has good integrity, and then your brain has 91 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,799 Speaker 1: to process it or else it's useless. As a UM, 92 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: as a teaser for us to come, I'm gonna lay 93 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: out are just for our just to protect our ip. Grace, 94 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: Grace is going to develop um. We we're just doing 95 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: a hearing test, and Grace is going to develop a 96 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: thing called I try to think what we should call 97 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: it to work. This is the working name, the gobble Tronka. 98 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, think you're stealing that from Parker? Oh no, 99 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: I stole that. Inn't that either way. She's going to 100 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: develop a hearing test thing where you have five six 101 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: people are all able to put on headphones. And then 102 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: she's gonna instead of doing the normal hearing tests like 103 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: she's gonna put in like affiliated, you'll hear affiliated woodpecker, 104 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: you'll hear a creek. You hear a bunch of peepers, 105 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: you're here a green frog ripping. Okay, and then ever 106 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:04,799 Speaker 1: so faintly right, and it'll you'd be able to measure 107 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: and test who's best at hearing gobbles and make it 108 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: into like a game show, and make it into a 109 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 1: game show. What do you win? That's a good question. 110 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: Maybe some of those uh maybe a jar of Chester's 111 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: forest floor foods, pickled baby corns. There you go. Or 112 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: maybe maybe the winner gets to go hunting with you 113 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: to help you hear the birds. Oh yeah, that'd be 114 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: a great way for me to find good assets. My 115 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: kid was we'll move on real quick. But my kid 116 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: was getting good, like he can hear gobbles like a 117 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: son of a bit James, Yeah him, after your book, 118 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: they can all hear gobbles. He but he got drunk 119 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: on the um accolade, got drunk on the what am 120 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: I trying to what the woman trying to say, got 121 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: drunk on the praise. So now he's off in the 122 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: other direction of everything's a gobble because he likes to 123 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: be the guy that her the gobble. So now he's 124 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: a little trigger happy. So in our training test, when 125 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: you clearly a piliated woodpecker. There's one. There's one, right, 126 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, man, now you're like like everybody else. Now. 127 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: So now when we're doing our auditory training for the 128 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: gobbler and noise test or whatever we're gonna call it. 129 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: If if he's in the room and when you press 130 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: the button and there wasn't really a gobbler there, you 131 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: get like a shock. Oh that's a great idea, like 132 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: a negative reinforcement. You put on a shock bracelet too. 133 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: So if you say you heard one and you didn't 134 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: really hear one, man, put that in your next kids. 135 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: But you could train some great kids with all this 136 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:41,119 Speaker 1: kind of equipment. Man might have a negative impact though, 137 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: because if you really think you shock him one, No, 138 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: you shock him if you play a real one and 139 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: he doesn't tag it, he gets shocked. He gets shocked 140 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: for false alarms. Oh you have a great turkey owner. 141 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: It sounds like dog training. Yeah, I mean. And then 142 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: when he gets older, you get him some therapy and 143 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: he goes about his business. And yeah, Crane not here, 144 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,559 Speaker 1: but she has a note that we should talk about 145 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: the flooding. No, she asked a question and I answered, yes, 146 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: it is right now. But won't be when you're listening 147 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: to this flooding. M h. It's the cfs on the 148 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: yellow string right now is the highest it's ever been recorded, 149 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: and last year was last year was one of the 150 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: lowest years on record. Yeah, it's crazy. I think last 151 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: year the Upper Missouri flows was like the low. Remember 152 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: we were driving over it and we were looking up 153 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: the flows last year because it lives like zero. The 154 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: fishing went from like spring run off to like no 155 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: water to no water and rocks not everywhere if you're 156 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: if you're in Gardener, Montana right now, there's currently not 157 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: a road that you can leave the town. Speaking of 158 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: that might but the water started to drip like you 159 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: either have to fly out of there in a helicopter 160 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: or walk. You cannot drive a car toast my aunt 161 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: coming down right, I think it fell. Yeah, So I'm 162 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: looking at it right now on the U s GS site. 163 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: UM in nine six it was the max um probably 164 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: one cubic feet per second, and as of yesterday, I'm 165 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: just looking at Livingston, So it was a little higher 166 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: upstream at corwin Um, which doesn't really make any sense, 167 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: but in Livingston right now it's um a scoche it's 168 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: like right around thirty thousand cubic feet per second, and 169 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: yesterday in Livingston it got up to forty cubic feet 170 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: per second, which is just hard for people to understand, 171 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: but I can explain it. Don't understand, it's unreal. Here's 172 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: what it Here's what it is. I figured this out 173 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: when I was working on a book one time. Just 174 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: how to express it. What is it again? Cfs? Right 175 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: now it's close to thirty thousand. Yesterday when it peaked 176 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: it was around forty. Okay, that would be that in 177 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: this amount of time between a me going this and 178 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: this or this in this, thirty thousand soccer balls rolled past. 179 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: That is crazy, thirty thousand soccer balls in there. It's 180 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: like water is obviously heavier than a soccer ball, so 181 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: it'd be like a soccer ball filled with rolling path. 182 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: But it's down, okay, So I just keep in mind 183 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: that at this point like this won't come out and 184 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: this will be over. But keep that in mind when 185 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: when you like, if we got our field like it, 186 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: but our interest dial, right, the collective audience interest dial 187 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: is just plummeting um because the flood is over. What 188 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: was the highest I have a vested interest here because 189 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: I'm very worried about our little property being accessible. What 190 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: was the highest this year in Crested at what living 191 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: in Livingston and Crests had around? Um is yesterday evening, 192 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: so probably right before it started to cool off at night. Um, 193 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: it was the highest, and it was due to all 194 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: this water on the Yellowstone is due to we had 195 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: a very cold spring late spring and a lot of 196 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: snowpack late so it snowed a lot this spring, but 197 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: raining like the Yeah. So it's like a combination of 198 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: that cold spring and then all of a sudden warm 199 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: weather and rain and run off from the rain and 200 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: snow pack all hit at one big chibaang and it's 201 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: not good for red lodge in some certain areas Yellowstone 202 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: this summer we very impact acted with tourism. Um. The 203 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: fishing on the yellow Stone could be really interesting because 204 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: these boat ramps and an uh I always say. My 205 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: father liked to say, don't curse the darkness. Light a candle. 206 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna point out, Um, this is my note here, 207 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: and you point out yeah, on his note, did you 208 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: know how Spencer likes to go rock hounding?

I'll probably find 213 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: some of my stuff from up and that I left 214 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: up on my little property somewhere down river, Spencer.

Yeah, you gotta look. And there's some 218 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: positives for sure, but also some big negatives.

I love it, 287 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: like full lifetimes supply t shirts. Um, so we had 288 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: an amazing tournament. I'm going to start with that, and uh, 289 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: we were just everything aligned. But backing up to this 290 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: Fresnel tournament, looking at waits prior, as far as the 291 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: the total weight of fish people are catching for this 292 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: tournament was around twenty pounds, would be right up there 293 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: in the top five. And that is But explain it 294 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: to me, because that's like, because you're you're bound by 295 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: the bag limit, right right, So every day in these 296 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: tournaments you can weigh in on your way card five fish. 297 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: So two anglers. This is what confused me early on 298 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 1: that I didn't realize two anglers are only fishing for 299 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: one like state limit right five fishs between SETH and I, 300 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: we can only weigh in five fish. Why is it not? 301 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: Why is it that? Because they don't give a shit 302 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: about the bag lim It's just like it's a five 303 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: fish tournament. Has nothing to do with like the legal 304 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 1: bag limits set by the stage kind of standard for tournaments, Okay, 305 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: so that they don't like if you were allowed twenty 306 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: wall eyes on some lake, it'd be five for the 307 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: tournament boat. And there's two days so you can at 308 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: the end of those two days, there's ten fish and 309 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: usually the top five in this tournament that we just 310 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: got done with, we'll win it with twenty around twenty pounds. 311 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: So they're submitting ten, they're they're submitting fish at a 312 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: two pound average. Yep. Roughly, It's like that strikes me 313 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: as not impressive. Yeah, well it's it's not a it's 314 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: not a lake where there is a ton of big 315 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: fi like the Fort Peck tournament. Uh. I think last well, 316 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: I forge out what this year was nineties six pounds 317 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: for the over What was the overall for at four Peck? 318 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: Not nine six? Was it? It was a lot. I 319 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: thought it was nineties pounds. Some dude came in with 320 00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: ten nine plus pounders. Yeah, um, I thought it was 321 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: eighty pounds somewhere on the last year was nine pounds 322 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: one it four at Packer. Yeah, this this year was 323 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: I don't remember what this year was. I thought it 324 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: was up there in the nineties too, anyhow, ter um. So, Yeah, 325 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: we we were going into this tournament up at Fresno 326 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: being like, if we can get double digits each day, 327 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna be real happy. But the problem with this 328 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: year is the water is so low up there, they're 329 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: they're still in a droughte and it's not a very 330 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: big lake. So we were going up there expecting there 331 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: to be over fifty boats in a small body of water, 332 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: and it was gonna be bumper boats. So it was 333 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: gonna be meaning there's gonna be boats close to you 334 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: the whole tournament, and historically first day people catch fish. 335 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: Second day of the tournament it gets a little ufer 336 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: because fish are a little burnout from people practicing before 337 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: the derby, and then that first tournament day they really 338 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: hammer them. So wanted this year, which is at Fort Pack. 339 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here and I'm getting confused with seventy four pounds. Okay, 340 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: so I'm talking about Fresno here. So we're going up 341 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: there thinking it's gonna be bumper boats. We're thinking we 342 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: got to catch just in the double digits and we're 343 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: gonna be happy. We show up and we pre fish 344 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: or practice for two days, and we realized that there's 345 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: a lot of fish in the lake. We found some 346 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: spots um. We didn't really catch any big ones, but 347 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: what we did find was a unique bite, meaning we 348 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: headed north farther than anybody and we were fishing in 349 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 1: the mud, meaning you drop your leach down and it 350 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: disappears after about two inches. So there's about two inches 351 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 1: of visibility in this little spot that we found, and 352 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: which is great. We were catching some fish in there 353 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: and there's no one around us. And now I can 354 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: hand it on many how many boats? Uh, there's fifty 355 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: six boats come tournament day. Now, I'll hand it off 356 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: to Seth and he can over to you Seth. Um. Yeah, 357 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: So tournament day, are we draw number thirteen and they started. Um, 358 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: They like randomly pick a numbers, so you get assigned 359 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: a boat number, um, and it's like one through whatever. 360 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: However many boats are so one through fifty six we 361 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: happen to draw, and then out of those numbers, they 362 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: randomly draw a number to start. So it's not a 363 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: shotgun start, no, everyone, it's like a single file line start. Um. 364 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: So boat number fourteen got drawn to start first, so 365 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: it goes fourteen, fifteen, seventeen, you got so we got 366 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: our first day. We were the last boat out. And 367 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: you don't get to stay longer than uh, no, you 368 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: do on this one half an hour long, half an 369 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: hour longer. Yeah, half half the field checked in at 370 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: four on the first day and the other half checked 371 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: in at four thirty. Um, when you're waiting that line, 372 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: when you're at the end of a fifty six boat 373 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: line up, how long does it take for everybody to like, like, 374 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: from if it's a seven am start, when are you 375 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: actually throttling up? Maybe fifteen minutes? Yeah? If that okayta um. 376 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: So yeah, we're last boat to go out. And we 377 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: were like, well, all of it's you know, small, small lake. 378 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 1: All of our spots that were like mid Lake in 379 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: the in the clear water. We were like, there's definitely 380 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 1: gonna be boats on them, um. And there was this 381 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: sweet point right next to the boat ramp right there 382 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: that was throwing the mud line when the wind would 383 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: pick up. And mud lines and while life fishing are 384 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: like like when you see mud um that it's like 385 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 1: a good place to start fishing because those fish they 386 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: utilize that mud line to like you know, hunting whatnot. 387 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: But you obviously just see it. Yeah, you can see 388 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: it with your with your you know, with your eye, 389 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 1: you can see it in the water. And uh so 390 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: everyone takes off, all the boats start heading up um 391 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: like mid Lake, and we just kind of go up, 392 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: loop around and go right to the boat ramp, and 393 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,959 Speaker 1: we were there was people there was like kids right 394 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: at the boat ramp the day before, like catching nice 395 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: walleye off the off the dock. Basically, yeah, so we're like, well, 396 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: we're just gonna hit that since all of our spots 397 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: up like further north, we're gonna be taken. Um, what's 398 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: the etiquette on that with spots being taken? Like how 399 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: on a tournament like that, if it's you know, it's 400 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: gonna be bumper both everybody's expecting bumper boats. How close 401 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: can you get in until the dude's going to give 402 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: you the scarecrow? Basically casting distance? I would say, people 403 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: get pretty close, but it's bad. That's good, that's that's 404 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about it that way, but yeah, like that, 405 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: you're you can't block someone's ability to work the water 406 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: around him as how you guys go by. Yeah, And 407 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: it's kind of like dependent on the lake, depending on 408 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 1: the lake. It's kind of like ah, I would say, 409 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: it's like an unspoken type role. But it's just like 410 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: something like like Fresno was pretty like boats for close. 411 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: Now let me ask you another ethics question. You were 412 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: talking about kids fishing the dock. Um. You know you 413 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: can't crowd bank fisherman, right, would you keep that in mind, 414 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 1: even though you're in a big money tournament bank fisherman 415 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: just like they're in a boat. You know it? Um? 416 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: But anyway, we we UM. As soon as we passed 417 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: the start boat, we loop around and just head right 418 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: back to the ramp and fish that for a little bit. 419 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: And there wasn't at that time of the day. The 420 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: wind wasn't picked up, and there wasn't a mudline right there. 421 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: We fished to check caut one fish that barely measured 422 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: it was like point eight pounds. Um caught that fish? 423 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: Ran do a different spot? Um, did we I think 424 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: we might have caught a fish there? I remember? Anyway, 425 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: it wasn't good. So finally we're like, you know what, 426 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: let's just head up north to that muddy spot and 427 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: try that out. We could see on side imaging there 428 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: was a bunch of fish there. As soon as you 429 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: dropped the megalive, there was fish all over the place. 430 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: It was just yeah, you can see bait. Um. It 431 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: was just tough because you had to get that leech. 432 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: We're fishing, drop shot and leech and slip bobber and leech. 433 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: You just had to get that bait within two inches 434 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: of that walleyes face for the walleye to see the 435 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: bait and eat it. Um, which was tough, and the 436 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: only way you could do that basically was with using 437 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: megalive or live imaging. Um, because you can when you're 438 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: using live imaging, you can see the fish. You can 439 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: see your bait go down to the fish. And like 440 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: if I make a cast to a fish and don't 441 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: see my bait go right down and like literally inches 442 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: from that fish, I would reel in and cast again, 443 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: because there's no point in letting it sit out there, 444 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: and you're not spooking the ship out of it doing that. 445 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: In that mud, they're not that spooky. So um, we 446 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: decided to head up north to that muddy spot and 447 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: we just start fishing. We can see fish and seth 448 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: starts and I just kind of got it. Came on fire. 449 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: I just got it a little dialed where like, like 450 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,239 Speaker 1: I just said, I would cast these fish and if 451 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,239 Speaker 1: I didn't see my bait land right in front of him, 452 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: I would just reel and cast again. And I just 453 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: kind of got this technique dialed in and yeah, I 454 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: just started hammering on fish UM and we we got 455 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 1: our five fish pretty early and then spent the rest 456 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: of the day calling UM. And I want to go 457 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: back to one thing with that in the mud, putting 458 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: that bait two inches from the fish's face, Like it 459 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: takes a tremendous amount of focus to be able to 460 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: do that all day long. And one of the things 461 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: that I think helped us is we got two guys 462 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: in the boat making those perfect casts, and if it's 463 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: not perfect, we're reeling in and we're staying on it 464 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: all day, cast after cast after cast. So being able 465 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: to have set doing that and myself doing that like 466 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: it's hard to do. It was hard to do and 467 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: stay focused. But that's one of the things that helped us. 468 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,239 Speaker 1: The way we're kind of doing it was like like 469 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: the first day I was on the megal ive, and 470 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: that that megalives mounted to a pole that's hanging over 471 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: the side of our boat, and it comes up to 472 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: like an arm that's at a ninety degree angle from 473 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: the pole, and like wherever that arm is pointed, that's 474 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: where the transducers pointing UM. So like I would it 475 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: was basically like flipping docks for bass fishing, just like 476 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: underhand cast um to these fish, and then Chester would 477 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: like basically mimic. He would like try to land his 478 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: bait right where I landed mine because he knew I 479 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: was casting to like a fish right there, and we 480 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: would communicate like, oh that was too far, Like if 481 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: I saw the bait go over the fish, I'd be like, 482 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: oh too far really and try like try it again, um, 483 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: and you can't. If you too far, you can't just 484 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: drag it in front of his face. You can, And 485 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: we did that, but we found that you were more 486 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: successful if you just immediately landed that bait right on 487 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: the fish because those fish are moving a little yeah. Um. 488 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: So we did that the first day. And the nice 489 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: thing was there was not a single boat anywhere close 490 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: to us because I think those guys, like the guys 491 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: that don't have that live imaging, and they would have 492 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,239 Speaker 1: never been able to fish those to those fish like 493 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: we were and catch them. They would have just been 494 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: like kind of blind casting two areas where they knew 495 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: they were fish, and you just had to get it 496 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: so close to him that if you didn't have that 497 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: live imaging and you couldn't really fish to him successfully. 498 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: Like JT. Van's aunt puts it, you gotta put a 499 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: mustache on him, you do. Yeah, I had to put 500 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: a mustache on the So um we were we were 501 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: at the end of day one. We went into Wayns 502 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: with ten point oh six pounds in our minds and 503 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: our minds were like, ship, we hit double digits. We're 504 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: gonna be sitting real good for for day two. Go 505 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: to Wayns, find out that we're sitting in seventeenth place, 506 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: and we start seeing weights come in and it's like 507 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: some fourteen pounds, sixteen pounds. One guy caught twenty pounds 508 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: the first day. Yeah, so we're like ship, you know, 509 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: like we have some like we gotta make up some 510 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: some spots tomorrow. Um. But we're pretty excited because everyone 511 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: was saying that with Fresno being so packed with boats 512 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: on day one, those fish get pretty sore lipped, and 513 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: there it's a tougher bite the next day, and we're 514 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: thinking in our minds there wasn't a single boat around us. 515 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: There was all these fish around us that never even 516 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: saw a hook that day, So our fish up north 517 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: weren't going to be sore lipped. Like, Day two's time 518 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: for us to make up some ground and get get 519 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: a little bit ahead of these guys that are gonna 520 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: be fishing two more finicky fish. Um. So day two, 521 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: first boat were the first boat to go out, UM 522 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: seven o'clock hits. We haul ass up to our spot. Again, 523 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: not a single boat there. I think throughout the day 524 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: there was a couple dudes that would like troll past 525 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: us with planer boards, but other than that there was 526 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: no one. But you have the water was that you 527 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: were fishing up there in the mud anywhere from like 528 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: four to eight ft and the wind played. The wind 529 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: was huge because it would pick up, the wind would 530 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: pick up, the bite would pick up, the wind would 531 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: lay down, the bite would lay down, so like it 532 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: got pretty hot and heavy when the wind would and 533 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: then like the wind would lay down. It would be 534 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: like several hours where we would like maybe not catch fish. 535 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: And it was also a morning bite, so we knew 536 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: we had a better morning bite for bigger fish. We 537 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: knew we had to show go up and take full 538 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: advantage of that morning. So we show up on a 539 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: second day and have our five fish limit by eight 540 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: o'clock within it within an hour, and decent, decent fish too, 541 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: and we just start from there. We just start catching fish. 542 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: Did you talk about being catch capture release, so that 543 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: this tournament is all these tournaments are catch, capture and release, 544 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: which means you catch the fish you laid on a 545 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: bump board, take a picture of it, and then release 546 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: that fish, so you're not hauling them back for the 547 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: big wigh in no ship. No. And when you turn 548 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: your card in your SD card, you have to have 549 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: only five fish on there, but throughout the day we 550 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: might catch thirty fish. So you have to like constantly 551 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: keep going through and deleting those fish, which is the 552 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: most stressful thing I've ever done in my life, because 553 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: if you buy, actually delete one of your big fish, 554 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: you're screwed. It's like you slipped out of your hand. 555 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: You've got to be making a copy or something. No, 556 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: it's just snap a picture and they don't accept it 557 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: like that. Do they give you the camera, No, we 558 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: we it's our camera. They issue you an SD card 559 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:31,479 Speaker 1: though no r S D card too. Well they I'm 560 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: assuming they've got all kinds of way to give you. 561 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: They give you a bumpboard and you don't know what 562 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: number you're gonna get the bump board has a number 563 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: on it. Let's say it's number ten, so it's next 564 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: day you might get number fifteen. Bard yea um, but yeah, 565 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: we start calling. At one point I throw out a 566 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: slip bob rig and the slip bob we just had 567 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: to slip bobbers out there just because fish would just 568 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: happen to run into them. You know. We weren't like 569 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: specifically cast these slip bobbers to like certain fish. It 570 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: was just like a bonus that thing, and we were 571 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: catching a few fish on them. Real quick explanation of 572 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: a slip bobber rig. A slip bobber rig is, so 573 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: I'll start from the hook. You have a hook that 574 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: goes up to a swivel right above that swivel as 575 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: a weight too to drop the line down fast. And 576 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: we're using bear hooks. We we found out that we're 577 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: running the slip bobberie with a little light jig jake 578 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: head and a in a leech. We found out that 579 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: those fish would not eat it unless it was a 580 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: bear hook. Um. They like when that leach free floats man, 581 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,399 Speaker 1: And those leeches were real lively, like look like little 582 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: snakes in the water. So hook go. There's like a 583 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,320 Speaker 1: depends on what you want to run. I'll say a 584 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 1: twelve inch leader up to a swivel above the swivel's weight, 585 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: and then above that weight is a bomber that your 586 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: line runs through, like your line runs from the top 587 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: to the bottom of the bobber, and that bobber can 588 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 1: slide on your lines. An inline bobber, Yeah, an inline 589 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: bober that can slide freely on your line. Above the 590 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: bomber is a little bead, and then above that is 591 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: a bomber. Stop. This is not a nylon not, it's 592 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: a nilon and you can just the depth of that 593 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 1: and that that not will reel up into your reel. Yep, 594 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: you can really can have a boer at twenty ft. 595 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: But that means that that doesn't leave you trying to 596 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: cast hanging off the endia exactly. Um, real fun way 597 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: to fish. It's only found out about slip bobbers at 598 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: like the ripe age of like forty one or something 599 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: in boy game changer doesn't play into the fly fish 600 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: and seen slip bober that sounds like a South Dakota bite. 601 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 1: I mean that's textbook like glacial lakes four to eight 602 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 1: foot of water, slip bober and leeches that brings back 603 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: some um. But yeah, at one point in time, I 604 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,720 Speaker 1: throw out a slip bobber and I set that down 605 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: on the on the edge of the boat, and I 606 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: pick up, uh my dropshot Reagan. I'm putting a leach 607 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: on it, and I start to hear the rods sliding 608 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: against the gun of the boat, and I look over 609 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: to see that rod just going over the boat into 610 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: the water and it's gone like to the bottom fish 611 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: pull it in. And you didn't have the drag set 612 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: light enough that it could just pull it. No, I 613 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: didn't have like this. I didn't have the bail open 614 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 1: or anything where. It's just it's just that we're like 615 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: rarely catching fish on slip bobber's, so I just like, 616 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: you know, through it out there, and every once a 617 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 1: while we look over just to make sure the bobber 618 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: wasn't down or whatever. Um. So I'm like trying to 619 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: like take the rod that I have in my hand 620 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: and like hook it, just you know, try to doing 621 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: whatever I can to like try to get this rod 622 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: before it hits the bottom. And I didn't see it happened. 623 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,800 Speaker 1: So I'm like, what the heck is going on? I 624 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: didn't see it happened.

So 625 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,479 Speaker 1: they're like, what in the hell is this guy doing, 626 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 1: like sticking his odd down in the water trying to Yeah, 627 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: So I tell them what happened, and we're like going 628 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: over the whole scenario. And I look over in that 629 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: away fifteen yards away, that slip bober pops up to 630 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:22,439 Speaker 1: the surface and it's moving. So we like get get 631 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: rods reeled in. It's a ship show and all of 632 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: this is on camera for you guys to watch.

Somebody thought, 635 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 1: well that's good. Yeah, anyway, we can start thinking on that. 636 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: We think about that. Um, we get rods reeled in, 637 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: we get on the trolling motor and start hustling over 638 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: to that where the bober is, and then by the 639 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: time we get over there, that goes back down. So 640 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 1: I'm like marking way points on the last on a 641 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: on the humming Bird where like the last spot we 642 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: saw the bober go down again and all over with 643 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: my eyes just looking. Shortly after, it pops back up 644 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,959 Speaker 1: like another fifteen yards away, and I take the rods 645 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: I of my hand. I'm like casting over, trying to 646 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: like snag the line and whatnot. We're trying to get 647 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: over to it. Sure enough, we get close to it, 648 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: it goes back down again. Finally it pops up um 649 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: and we get over to it, and Chet's able to 650 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 1: get the bomber with the net, and I reached down 651 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: grab a hold of the bobber and I could feel 652 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: a fish on the end of the line, and I 653 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,919 Speaker 1: start hand lining in this fish and ends up being 654 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: uh twenty and a half inch walleye, which is our 655 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 1: big tournament rules by hand lining it. No, I mean 656 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: we caught the fish, yeah, with the rod and reel. 657 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: It just wasn't was that the biggest fish of the 658 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: tournament at the at that point in time, it was 659 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: our biggest fish. So Chett, that's it. We get it in. 660 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 1: I pulled the rest of the rod up off the bottom, 661 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: and he had been dragging that rod around on the bottom, 662 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: so it's just like cake full of mud and stuff. 663 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: Were you there when I U harpoon that hal But 664 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: and it's still my harpoon booy oh yeah, never to 665 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,479 Speaker 1: be seen any Yeah. Um, so we get that fish 666 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: and it was crazy, like the way we had cameras 667 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: set up on the boat. Um, like that rod slipped 668 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:23,439 Speaker 1: right past a go pro that was rolling, so it's 669 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:28,280 Speaker 1: gonna be like the best footage. Yeah, it was crazy. Um, 670 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,359 Speaker 1: do you mind if I tell Yeah, so I'll tee 671 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: it up just a little bit. We um that that 672 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: bite slows down because of the wind dies, it gets 673 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: pretty flat. Calm, I say, chat, let's run across the 674 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,760 Speaker 1: reservoir here and still in the mud. Let's run across 675 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 1: where we had fished a little bit the day before 676 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: and caught some fish. I was like, let's just go 677 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 1: over there and try it, because right like at that point, 678 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: we weren't catching fish where we were. So so we 679 00:39:55,600 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: roll over there and this spot is a little different. 680 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: There's a few more weeds, they're still bait moving around, 681 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 1: we're still seeing fish. So it's perfect, actually more so 682 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: than the day before. We start fishing, and we immediately 683 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: start calling some more fish, meaning replacing smaller ones on 684 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: our card with bigger ones, and we're happy. We're probably 685 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,839 Speaker 1: sitting a little over eleven pounds and it was our 686 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: goal to just be consistent in keeping those double digits. 687 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: And we knew we probably weren't gonna place top ten, 688 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 1: but we would probably upgrade from seventeen. We're happy with 689 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,799 Speaker 1: how we executed it at this point, so we keep 690 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: fishing and Seth, I just want to say something. Seth 691 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 1: was on it. He was catching fish to the point 692 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,720 Speaker 1: where sometimes I'm like, I don't quite have it figured 693 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 1: out like Seth does, so I'm just letting him do 694 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: his thing. This is a team you know, it doesn't 695 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: matter who's catching the field. You're not being like, hey, Seth, 696 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: can you make me a sandwich? Right? Can you help me? 697 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 1: This is like a very much a team effort. And 698 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: it was actually really cool. Um. And I was catching fish, 699 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:14,280 Speaker 1: but he had it dialed. Um, So you know, I'm happy. 700 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 1: I also want to contribute to like this as well. Right, Um, 701 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: So we roll over there, we start calling those fish, 702 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 1: and we had to be back by three pm. You 703 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: want to stay his partner for next year too, right, 704 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: because like, we have five tournaments like this in a 705 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 1: row next year, so it's gonna be like well, and 706 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 1: then thought about that Seth might Seth might he might 707 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: become friends and find like a new partner. No. I 708 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,319 Speaker 1: caught some big ones on Fort Pack too. It'll be 709 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:45,840 Speaker 1: like a TV show when they replaced one of the 710 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: actors in between seasons. It's like where's Chester this season? No, 711 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: I mean communication is very key and like trying not 712 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: to it's just like goes a long way in the boat. 713 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: So anyways, Seth the two days, he's loading the basis 714 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 1: in a baseball analogy, Seth is just loading the basis. 715 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,359 Speaker 1: Could give me a different kind of analogy. Uh, this 716 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: this will work. That's because it's good because we got 717 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 1: to talk about Yeah, we got par Pete. Yeah Pete. 718 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,800 Speaker 1: He bats in the middle of the lineup when the 719 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: job the guys ahead of him at the top of 720 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: the inning is just to get on the basis. So 721 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: within Petche shows up, he drives them all in called 722 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 1: bat and clean up. Seth is hitting singles. Yeah, because 723 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,320 Speaker 1: we got talked about baseball in a minute. So Seth 724 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 1: loaded the bases and it was the bottom of the 725 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,839 Speaker 1: ninth inning. So the last inning of the game, we 726 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 1: had to be in at three and we were happy 727 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 1: with our weight and we said our last cast is 728 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: going to be at two thirty five pm, and Seth 729 00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: was jokingly saying the camera, we are gonna just quick, okay, 730 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: catch a bigger fish here to call out our seventeen incher. 731 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,839 Speaker 1: And this is at two thirty five pm, and then 732 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,359 Speaker 1: we're gonna head right in and race to the weigh ends. 733 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: And I see a fish in the weeds on Mega Live, 734 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 1: and I flip it out there, and not seconds after 735 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:22,720 Speaker 1: Seth said that, wham rod goes down and it happened 736 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 1: to be the biggest fish that anyone caught out of 737 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:32,879 Speaker 1: any boat the whole tournament. And three quarter inches which 738 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: is a big one, upgraded as five pounds and no ship. Yeah, 739 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,800 Speaker 1: put us up to like six over sixteen pounds for 740 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: the day. Gave us another eight hundred and seventy five 741 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: dollars towards our little fund going towards something. What did 742 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: you finish do you? Because I know that goes by 743 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,879 Speaker 1: how you finished for the tournament, Like you finished seven 744 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 1: for the tournament, which is fantastic, But what did you 745 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 1: finished for the day or fifth? Fifth for the day. 746 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,839 Speaker 1: We ended up with sixty some pounds, And I kid 747 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: you not, I was. I haven't been more excited about 748 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,439 Speaker 1: a fish. I was like, so, like, this is all 749 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 1: on camera, Chris gill is filming this and he's trying 750 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: to hold back his excitement behind the camera. He's his 751 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: ridge pounder likes fishing. Yeah, he said it was one 752 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:22,320 Speaker 1: of the most fun things he's ever filmed. And those 753 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 1: tournament walleyes hit different to man. They's like tournament day 754 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 1: to day boys, you know how I like to do 755 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 1: it on tournament days when you're just having fun, when 756 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,000 Speaker 1: you're just having fun fishing and catch a twenty inch 757 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 1: while I like, that's a real nice walle I like, 758 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 1: I love that wallet. You catch even a twenty inch 759 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 1: when you're fishing a tournament and you are just shaking 760 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,840 Speaker 1: in your boots. I would I would see a fish 761 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 1: on Megalalive and I would make a cast to it 762 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 1: and my hand would be shaking because I was like waiting, 763 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,759 Speaker 1: like the anticipation. Yeah, you get exa austin from it 764 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 1: to all day because just amped the whole time. What 765 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,240 Speaker 1: is a six inch wally weigh that was like six 766 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 1: point something pounds? Um? You know the six might be 767 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 1: closer to seven um. Time of years, A big deal 768 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 1: on that, yeah, exactly. But they have on these bumpboards. 769 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 1: They have a scale that is like relatively close after 770 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:34,839 Speaker 1: they spawn sot inch to fourteen inch fish is going 771 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 1: to be around point eight pounds to a pound, right, Um, 772 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 1: so that's how they measure these weights during these tournaments. 773 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:48,759 Speaker 1: But anyways, I was unbelievably happy. It was. It was incredible. 774 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 1: I'm proud of you guys.

It's a lot. 783 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 1: I mean, we've got a chase boat, we got cameras around. 784 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,520 Speaker 1: Some people probably don't love it, you know, but I 785 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 1: appreciate the Montana Walleye Circuit letting us do this because 786 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,840 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be something really cool at the 787 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 1: end of it. When we get this four part series out, 788 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 1: I'll say this about that though, man, is if walleye 789 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 1: fishing has ever had like a negative about it from 790 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,760 Speaker 1: the tournament standpoint is it's never had the cool videos 791 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 1: and publicity that the bass side has had. And while 792 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 1: ie guys like the old PNW series and all those that, 793 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: even the and W T, it's like that's the thing 794 00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,360 Speaker 1: they've always missed, is the actual ability to watch and outs. 795 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,919 Speaker 1: You know, as a walleye guy myself, I like that 796 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 1: well going into it. One of the primary concerns these 797 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 1: two had is it they would get caught cheating, but 798 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:18,880 Speaker 1: they've been able to keep it under wrapped in the 799 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 1: bear right. One real quick question. How many of those 800 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 1: fifty six boats had all the technology that you guys 801 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,360 Speaker 1: have in the boat? Um it's hard to say any 802 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:36,959 Speaker 1: Probably a quarter of them had it all. Maybe more, Yeah, 803 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:42,920 Speaker 1: I mean being conservative for sure, probably fifty. Um the 804 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,319 Speaker 1: guys that wanted had they were running live imaging and 805 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 1: they found a cool spot that had weeds and bait 806 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,359 Speaker 1: and the fish were in the weeds. And did they 807 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,799 Speaker 1: have longer hair than you did? Stuff? No? No, Um, 808 00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 1: they did not. Uh Sean you jacked up? Yeah, Well 809 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,000 Speaker 1: I used to fish while I tournament. I'm talking about 810 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 1: being jacked up for Shawn's duck report.

I'll give you the short version. 891 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,280 Speaker 1: So this was while I was it was a unique 892 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 1: chapter of my life. Um, I can't believe I'm about 893 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,160 Speaker 1: to say this on your podcast. But I was Miss 894 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,640 Speaker 1: Tennessee in the Miss American passiant and so I took 895 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 1: a year off of graduate. You went all the way 896 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,759 Speaker 1: to Miss Tennessee to Miss America. If you want to 897 00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 1: take it to the highest level I went. You wouldn't 898 00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:01,200 Speaker 1: competed in Miss America. I sure did. Do you want 899 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:07,319 Speaker 1: my autograph? Yeah, you're Miss America. Thing I was, What 900 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,400 Speaker 1: was your deal? What was your sort of like you 901 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 1: like your specialty? I sang, which is how I met 902 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 1: my husband. I was singing the national anthem at a 903 00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:21,319 Speaker 1: Memphis Grizzlies NBA game, and our mom set us up. 904 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 1: They had talked and they knew that I was going 905 00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,800 Speaker 1: to be there singing, and neither one of us, obviously 906 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 1: were dating anyone. And in Mississippi, if you're not married 907 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,480 Speaker 1: by the time you're like twenty five, people get concerned, 908 00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:38,960 Speaker 1: especially if you're Miss Mississippi Tennessee. I was in school 909 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 1: at Andy, So Miss Tennessee, right here in the studio. Yeah, 910 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:47,440 Speaker 1: as you live and breathe so so. So I was 911 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,279 Speaker 1: singing the anthem, and so I was not at all 912 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,400 Speaker 1: concerned about whoever this dude was I was about to 913 00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,480 Speaker 1: sit with and watch the basketball game, and I had 914 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,719 Speaker 1: never sung in an arena that big before, so I 915 00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,000 Speaker 1: had at the time, this is how long ago it was. 916 00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,839 Speaker 1: I had my little iPod shuffle threaded underneath my dress, 917 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,920 Speaker 1: tucked in my tights so that at center court, when 918 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 1: I'm surrounded all these seven foot tall basketball players and 919 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,880 Speaker 1: the lights go down, spotlight on me. I was terrified 920 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,239 Speaker 1: that I was going to accidentally change keys in the 921 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,440 Speaker 1: middle of this acapella song, which it sounds bad when 922 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,480 Speaker 1: you do that, by the way. So I was going 923 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,759 Speaker 1: to hear the accompaniment music in my ear that no 924 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,360 Speaker 1: one else could hear, but it would keep me into 925 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,600 Speaker 1: you see what I mean. But when I pressed that 926 00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,799 Speaker 1: play button, it just so happens that Norah Jones is 927 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,200 Speaker 1: right after National Anthem on my iPod at this time, 928 00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,760 Speaker 1: so I did not hear my accompaniment track. I heard 929 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:39,000 Speaker 1: come Away with Me, and I was like, oh, WHOA. 930 00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 1: So I jerked it out of my air and just 931 00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,000 Speaker 1: pick a note saying it it was pre iPhone day, 932 00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:44,960 Speaker 1: so there's no proof otherwise. So I will say it 933 00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,759 Speaker 1: was the best it's ever been sung. For my story, 934 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 1: and I'm sticking to it the same night that you 935 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 1: met your yes, and he almost missed it. He came 936 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,080 Speaker 1: rushing it. He thought he knew I was singing the anthem, 937 00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:58,359 Speaker 1: but he thought it was going to be as part 938 00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,600 Speaker 1: of some big like miss and group ensemble that was 939 00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 1: then going to go work the concession stand. He really 940 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,279 Speaker 1: did not know that it was just going to be 941 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:11,120 Speaker 1: me singing, and so he like rushes in and he's like, damn, 942 00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,080 Speaker 1: that's my date. And so then I finished singing, and 943 00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 1: of course I'm a little rattled from the whole like 944 00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:22,719 Speaker 1: debacle that was my accompaniment track. And he but I 945 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 1: looked down at my then BlackBerry because that's the time 946 00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,239 Speaker 1: we were in and it's like, I'm the guy in 947 00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,600 Speaker 1: the blue sweater and I'm going I'm in the FedEx form, 948 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:31,840 Speaker 1: Like all right, you're gonna have to give me a 949 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,840 Speaker 1: little bit more than that. But but anyway, we sat together, 950 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,399 Speaker 1: watched the game. He went he was living in Jack's, Mississippi. 951 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,040 Speaker 1: He had he had lived in Boston for school and 952 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,080 Speaker 1: then came back to Jackson. I was in Nashville. So 953 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,759 Speaker 1: we dated a long distance and now we're married with 954 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,400 Speaker 1: free kids. Was he like Mr Universe or anything like that, like, 955 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:54,200 Speaker 1: did he have anything? No, No, I mean he's a 956 00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:58,840 Speaker 1: really great guy everything. I'm so sorry, honey. Um no, 957 00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,520 Speaker 1: he sleep. He just wanted he just wont you over 958 00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:04,919 Speaker 1: the good old fashion. No. He impressed me so much 959 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 1: because he's so humble and he's really a pretty awesome 960 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,360 Speaker 1: person with a lot that he could brag about, and 961 00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,320 Speaker 1: he didn't. And so we sat and had this great conversation. 962 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,160 Speaker 1: There was a lot that I learned about him after 963 00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:17,400 Speaker 1: the fact that he didn't come right out with like 964 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:21,239 Speaker 1: trying to impress me. He was just trying to impress you. 965 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,360 Speaker 1: I guess held off. He held off, but then he 966 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,399 Speaker 1: you know what, it's funny, tied into the hole Miss 967 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,239 Speaker 1: American thing.

So we're gonna okay, 978 00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,640 Speaker 1: you know, you're being like a little tight lip. You're 979 00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 1: being like a tournament wallee. I mean, but it's like 980 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,400 Speaker 1: it's new enough that I don't want to jinx it. 981 00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:25,600 Speaker 1: You know, I'm with you. That's that's probably the walleye Fisher. 982 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:31,080 Speaker 1: What I was leading towards. What I was leading towards is, um, 983 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:32,840 Speaker 1: what do you call it? When you got one guy batting, 984 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,720 Speaker 1: there's another guy over practicing. I was trying to get 985 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:40,240 Speaker 1: a couple more people on deck for you, right, Yeah, 986 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,640 Speaker 1: it didn't probably work very well though. Huh well, maybe 987 00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,200 Speaker 1: you know, if you'd have had to play it harder 988 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:49,440 Speaker 1: school with the Duck report, Shawn dr port so um 989 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 1: trying to remember how long ago that was that we 990 00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,120 Speaker 1: talked about the age demographics of ducks. It was a 991 00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:57,640 Speaker 1: couple of a couple of duck reports ago. But when 992 00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 1: we had talked about like how long ducks live you 993 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,920 Speaker 1: had said, you know, we had talked about that they 994 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,120 Speaker 1: you have some that get to be high twenties, you know, 995 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,120 Speaker 1: mallard that lives to be seven years old, blue goose 996 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 1: that lives to be thirty years old, and you had 997 00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 1: requested an odometer. How how far they travel in their life? Well, 998 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,960 Speaker 1: there's so there's a few different conservation worcs all doing 999 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,120 Speaker 1: this now, ducks and limited delta, and then in Arkansas 1000 00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 1: you have the Osbourne Lab and five Oaks Egg Research 1001 00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:37,400 Speaker 1: Center doing GPS trackers on ducks and man, it's crazy 1002 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 1: how good that tech has come along compared to like 1003 00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 1: the radio telemetry stuff, because they know every single I 1004 00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,480 Speaker 1: mean down to the cornfield. These ducks are hanging out 1005 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:52,560 Speaker 1: in all the way up and down the flyway. But anyway, 1006 00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,600 Speaker 1: so I had a guy named Ryan Askern from the 1007 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:59,200 Speaker 1: Osbourne Lab give me some data points. Day've got forty 1008 00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:03,840 Speaker 1: five ucks with GPS trackers right now, and uh, that's 1009 00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:08,040 Speaker 1: that's they're glue in that in the feathers corrects on 1010 00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:12,160 Speaker 1: their back the backpack. Oh it is okay. Remember some 1011 00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,440 Speaker 1: Turkey guys talking about a little thing. Maybe they weren't 1012 00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't as sophisticated, but um, they would just 1013 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,120 Speaker 1: glue this little device up in their feathers. You wouldn't 1014 00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:24,919 Speaker 1: even see it no, you can see this. Yeah, yeah, 1015 00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,200 Speaker 1: you can see it. It looks like they're flying around 1016 00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:31,640 Speaker 1: with a backpack on. Um. So, anyway, he sent me 1017 00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:35,360 Speaker 1: data points for the averages of all the forty five ducks. 1018 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,640 Speaker 1: But then he also sent me just like a random 1019 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:41,640 Speaker 1: drake and Hen Mallard got it. And the drake Mallard 1020 00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:45,440 Speaker 1: on Avid on average flies eight point seven miles a 1021 00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:49,360 Speaker 1: day for a total of three thousand, one hundred and 1022 00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:54,560 Speaker 1: seventy two miles a year, and the hand flies eleven 1023 00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:57,840 Speaker 1: point six miles a day for a total of four thousand, 1024 00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:02,640 Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty four miles a year, which you know, 1025 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,840 Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy when you think about that. Most 1026 01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,080 Speaker 1: of that's in the spring and fall, because they're pretty 1027 01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:13,480 Speaker 1: That does include migration, yep, because they're pretty idle. Because 1028 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:17,240 Speaker 1: the annual average yep. Are you gonna hit us with 1029 01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:22,000 Speaker 1: some extraordinary days yep. So that's why Sean does such 1030 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:26,040 Speaker 1: a good duck report. Um well, and I did. I 1031 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,760 Speaker 1: did do a total of like based on the average 1032 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,880 Speaker 1: of all their forty five ducks that they have, they 1033 01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,600 Speaker 1: fly on average of eleven point two miles a day. 1034 01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,720 Speaker 1: And if you remember, the oldest Mallard ever shot with 1035 01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,160 Speaker 1: a band on it was twenty seven or seven months. 1036 01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:47,240 Speaker 1: Applying the average to that duck, he would have flown 1037 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,840 Speaker 1: a hundred and twelve thousand, seven hundred fifty miles in 1038 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:55,280 Speaker 1: his life, which it's pretty good for for a duck. 1039 01:00:56,120 --> 01:01:00,880 Speaker 1: But okay, anyway, the and then what's really wild is 1040 01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:04,320 Speaker 1: the like the spring and fall migration of how far 1041 01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,800 Speaker 1: these ducks will go in one day. This spring in April, 1042 01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,400 Speaker 1: they had one mallard that flew six d forty two 1043 01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:16,520 Speaker 1: miles in a single day from Bismarck, North Dakota to Lloydminster, Alberta. 1044 01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:21,000 Speaker 1: No way in one day. How many times did he stop? 1045 01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 1: See it only kicks the information back every twenty four hours, 1046 01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,560 Speaker 1: so they don't know exactly. Yeah, but you'd have to 1047 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 1: think of he's covering that distance. He couldn't have been 1048 01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,600 Speaker 1: doing wash except flying, and he's going north. I wonder 1049 01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,920 Speaker 1: if he had a tail wind. That's what's crazy too, 1050 01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,640 Speaker 1: is like you see these ducks migrate into the wind. 1051 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes two snow geese will do it all the time, 1052 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,200 Speaker 1: where they migrate into the wind, and you're like why 1053 01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 1: you know, so they'll they'll like wait for a north 1054 01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,480 Speaker 1: wind and make a big push or something, or it 1055 01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:57,680 Speaker 1: just happens to be just kind of like I've seen 1056 01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:00,240 Speaker 1: the heart some of the hardest snow goose mic ration 1057 01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:03,400 Speaker 1: days going north into a north wind, which doesn't make sense. 1058 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,200 Speaker 1: And then other times, you know, they have a great 1059 01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,760 Speaker 1: south wind and they're using it. But they'll migrate more 1060 01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,640 Speaker 1: based on and this is a different duct report will 1061 01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:16,360 Speaker 1: do sometime about how much of the migration happens based 1062 01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:21,200 Speaker 1: on moon and like like why you always here snowgies 1063 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:24,160 Speaker 1: flying in the middle of the night yep, yep, because 1064 01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 1: they're doing some work and research on like luminants too, 1065 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:32,400 Speaker 1: And how much duct movement is happening based on moonlight? 1066 01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:36,360 Speaker 1: I think I think as much of it's based around that, 1067 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:39,800 Speaker 1: even more than wind. Is like that it's warm out 1068 01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:43,479 Speaker 1: that you know they've got the right moon stuff like that. 1069 01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:48,520 Speaker 1: But that's incredible six he did one day, and that's 1070 01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,840 Speaker 1: like you know, when you're out and ducts are kind 1071 01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,640 Speaker 1: of giving you the snub, and also just some duct 1072 01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:57,760 Speaker 1: comes and just like boom bombs are dude, that's him, yeah, yeah, 1073 01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,960 Speaker 1: he just got done with a trap, you know, and 1074 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,520 Speaker 1: he's like, dude, next duck, I see, I'm landing. Yeah, 1075 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:08,040 Speaker 1: I'm ready for some food, some chill. But the you know, 1076 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:10,840 Speaker 1: the ones that are real crazy is the snow goose migration. 1077 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:13,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the duck migration is impressive, don't get me wrong, 1078 01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,880 Speaker 1: but it doesn't hold a candle to what the snow 1079 01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:22,160 Speaker 1: geese are doing. So there's a group called the Alberta 1080 01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:28,000 Speaker 1: Conservation Association doing GPS work on snow geese and they 1081 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 1: have one tracker that for whatever reason, has lasted longer 1082 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,439 Speaker 1: than it was supposed to. Its lasted three years now, 1083 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:40,080 Speaker 1: so they've been getting info on this one snow goose 1084 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:46,560 Speaker 1: for three years and over from January to January. This 1085 01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:50,840 Speaker 1: snow goose has average twenty one five miles per day 1086 01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:56,640 Speaker 1: of flying, which like, okay, so it's double a Mallard's average. 1087 01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:58,720 Speaker 1: And it makes sense when you see how snow geese 1088 01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,320 Speaker 1: fly around and feed. They fly along ways every day 1089 01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:05,160 Speaker 1: to feed. But then on top of that, this snow 1090 01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:11,520 Speaker 1: goose flew seventy miles in twenty four hours and landed 1091 01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 1: on like this little mountain creek up in the Yukon. Yeah, 1092 01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,520 Speaker 1: and so this so this goose, this exact snow goose 1093 01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:27,000 Speaker 1: is wintering in California. Then flying over to Boise and 1094 01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 1: hanging out down in the Snake River bottoms, then flying 1095 01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:36,640 Speaker 1: to freeze Out Lake, Montana, then over to Edmonton, Alberta, 1096 01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:41,200 Speaker 1: and then ending on the north slope of Alaska. I 1097 01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 1: missed my first snow goose that freeze all like really 1098 01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:50,640 Speaker 1: like the biggest chip shot. You could have just decoyed 1099 01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:54,280 Speaker 1: or passing over, you know, like eight ft over my 1100 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:59,880 Speaker 1: head about a mile an hour, just too close, just whatever. 1101 01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. Um So, just for the sake of 1102 01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,440 Speaker 1: doing it, I applied that twenty mile a day average 1103 01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,360 Speaker 1: to the oldest blue goose ever, which you know, same 1104 01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:12,520 Speaker 1: thing as a snow goose, and that goose would have 1105 01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:16,960 Speaker 1: flown two thousand, five thirty nine miles in its life, 1106 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,840 Speaker 1: which there's pickups dying well before that. You're not gonna 1107 01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,000 Speaker 1: get that much out of your Toyota tundra. I mean, 1108 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:37,880 Speaker 1: that's impressives. Do you have have many numbers on the low end, 1109 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:42,920 Speaker 1: like when they're just loafing golf course duck? No, I 1110 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,720 Speaker 1: don't have anything like that, but I was I was 1111 01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,840 Speaker 1: thinking about that these these ducks are putting the GPS 1112 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:56,520 Speaker 1: units on in Arkansas. Um you know, they those ducks 1113 01:05:56,520 --> 01:06:00,600 Speaker 1: in Arkansas are always kind of within easy he feeding 1114 01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:03,880 Speaker 1: distance of like where where they roost and where they 1115 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:07,000 Speaker 1: feed is always pretty close, maybe a mile two miles 1116 01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:11,040 Speaker 1: at most. But then you get some of these Montana, Wyoming, 1117 01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:14,919 Speaker 1: Nebraska Kansas ducks that they have to fly a long 1118 01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:17,840 Speaker 1: way to get to a cornfield in western Nebraska. One 1119 01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:21,360 Speaker 1: time I followed flock ducks forty five miles to their 1120 01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:25,200 Speaker 1: feed and they were flying that every day, And so yeah, 1121 01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,800 Speaker 1: he's jamming ninety miles a day. I would think that 1122 01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:31,480 Speaker 1: this average of Arkansas ducks is actually, you know, maybe 1123 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,480 Speaker 1: compared to some of the Central Flyway ducks and Rocky 1124 01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:37,600 Speaker 1: Mountain ducks maybe on the low side. Hit me again 1125 01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:41,000 Speaker 1: with how far that snow goose went one day, Um, 1126 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,640 Speaker 1: eight hundred and seventy miles in one day. He's blown 1127 01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:48,479 Speaker 1: by whole entire states. Yeah, but you're flying north to south, 1128 01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:53,280 Speaker 1: you're passing states, had a bunch of them. He started in. 1129 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,360 Speaker 1: He started in Alberta and ended like well into the 1130 01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:02,919 Speaker 1: yukon that day and on where he was in. It's 1131 01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:05,320 Speaker 1: it's really what's really cool to look at on this 1132 01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:10,360 Speaker 1: GPS And I'll I can post the website for this too. 1133 01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:13,520 Speaker 1: You can look at the GPS and see that this 1134 01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:19,080 Speaker 1: bird sat around Edmonton, Alberta for a solid month just 1135 01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:22,840 Speaker 1: feeding and getting ready to cross the forest. Because that's why, 1136 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a there's no food for him as 1137 01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:30,160 Speaker 1: across the burial. You know, that's the largest This would 1138 01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,400 Speaker 1: be a good question for Spencer's trivial pursuit show. Um, 1139 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:36,920 Speaker 1: the boreal forest is the largest biome on Earth. Really, 1140 01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,920 Speaker 1: it's the largest expanse of habitat type on the planet, 1141 01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,840 Speaker 1: is the boreal forest. Because like all that ship across 1142 01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:48,320 Speaker 1: the Yeah, like huge band across your age, a huge 1143 01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:53,920 Speaker 1: band across North America. That is a game poor environment, Yeah, 1144 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,040 Speaker 1: and food poor. Why a snow goose would eat wheat 1145 01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,120 Speaker 1: for a month and a half before he flies across 1146 01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:00,840 Speaker 1: it in two days. That was a hell of a 1147 01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:04,120 Speaker 1: duck report. It's a fun one. Do Are you done? Yeah? 1148 01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:06,919 Speaker 1: I'm done? So I think that just just strow shan 1149 01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,959 Speaker 1: a couple of ideas. I think that about them moving 1150 01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,600 Speaker 1: at night would be very interesting. What do you guys 1151 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:16,519 Speaker 1: anything grace? What is this thing you wonder most about ducks? 1152 01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,439 Speaker 1: Don't you have anything burning? I don't. I don't wonder 1153 01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:21,519 Speaker 1: a lot about ducks. To be quite honest, I'm I'm 1154 01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, I stay, I'm I'm an ears girl. You know, 1155 01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:28,200 Speaker 1: when you come back with that Turkey tester, maybe by 1156 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:29,880 Speaker 1: then you'll have worked up a question for Sean, A 1157 01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:34,519 Speaker 1: question for Sean. Yeah, Uh, I got I got a 1158 01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:39,120 Speaker 1: couple of requests. Um. I think there's an emerging understanding 1159 01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:44,240 Speaker 1: about the role of iridescence and birds what they see 1160 01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:50,520 Speaker 1: when they see iridescence. Right, that could be interesting. Yep, Um, 1161 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 1: that's a good one. What else have you done, like 1162 01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:58,600 Speaker 1: mortality stuff? Like it's far like during the migration. I 1163 01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:02,320 Speaker 1: should say to narrow it down like hitting, because there 1164 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:05,400 Speaker 1: is there like, uh spot on the map where it's like, 1165 01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:08,719 Speaker 1: holy shit, a bunch of ducks died, right triangle for dogs? 1166 01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:13,360 Speaker 1: That'd be interesting. How long did that that that goose 1167 01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,960 Speaker 1: live after the super long day? You know? Then? Does 1168 01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:18,040 Speaker 1: it just post up for a while? Is that the 1169 01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,720 Speaker 1: is that the last two raw? They do? Know? They? 1170 01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:26,200 Speaker 1: I mean they they do their migration real fast and 1171 01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,120 Speaker 1: they take advantage of it, and then they spend a 1172 01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,479 Speaker 1: lot of time resting and putting the fat stores back on. 1173 01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:36,200 Speaker 1: I gotta get another one for you too, uh, predator 1174 01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:40,280 Speaker 1: swamping you know what I'm talking about. There's like a 1175 01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 1: reproductive strategy where a vulnerable bird or any kind of 1176 01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:55,800 Speaker 1: thing vulnerable species will synchronize birthing um so that rather 1177 01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:59,080 Speaker 1: than staggering it out where predators can just like whittle away, 1178 01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,559 Speaker 1: whittle away with a away with it away. It just 1179 01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:06,040 Speaker 1: all happens at once, right, and then you kind of 1180 01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:11,280 Speaker 1: overwhelmed the predator base. And there's examples of with with 1181 01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:13,920 Speaker 1: I know with snow geese the way they nest that 1182 01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,040 Speaker 1: the fox the Arctic foxes and whatnot will always whittle 1183 01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:20,280 Speaker 1: away at the edge, but it's just too much. Hits 1184 01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:24,000 Speaker 1: the ground all at once and they can't They'll never 1185 01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,760 Speaker 1: get them all. But if you'd spread that same thing 1186 01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:30,360 Speaker 1: out over months, right, letters will just be like keyed 1187 01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:33,479 Speaker 1: in on it, constantly, constantly doing it. That could be interesting. 1188 01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:37,280 Speaker 1: And then another thing that could be interesting is like 1189 01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:42,280 Speaker 1: why what factors led to the great explosion in snow 1190 01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:48,000 Speaker 1: geese um, Like what were the agricultural practices that change 1191 01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:52,160 Speaker 1: that led to the snow goose explosion and why did 1192 01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:56,720 Speaker 1: that become a thing of such concern to wildlife managers 1193 01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:59,920 Speaker 1: in the Arctic. I've actually been in touch with the 1194 01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:05,080 Speaker 1: guy that was waving the flag. I did. I called 1195 01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,040 Speaker 1: him for an article I wrote on the website about 1196 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:12,600 Speaker 1: snow geese that, um, he was the guy waving the 1197 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:17,080 Speaker 1: flag saying, hey, snow goose populations are about to explode. 1198 01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:21,400 Speaker 1: There's a lot of environmental differences, get ready. And he 1199 01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:26,839 Speaker 1: said that twenty five years before the Conservation Order actually 1200 01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:31,160 Speaker 1: got created. Yeah, that's a good one, talking snow Keep busy. 1201 01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:35,400 Speaker 1: Let's know how the dating goes. Okay, alright, Joyce seeing 1202 01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:39,840 Speaker 1: the national anthem? We should that. I didn't. I didn't 1203 01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:42,519 Speaker 1: warm up.

There might start ready, 1270 01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:53,080 Speaker 1: bloody Mary. We're digging in. Now what happens? We tried 1271 01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:55,960 Speaker 1: to have someone explain it before. That didn't satisfy either 1272 01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,320 Speaker 1: of us. Now the stakes are high, alright, I will 1273 01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,759 Speaker 1: do a better job. Here we go a paint a picture. 1274 01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:06,559 Speaker 1: You're in a duck blind, okay, and someone shoots their 1275 01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:13,479 Speaker 1: shotguns six inches from your ear. What just happened to you? Well? 1276 01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:18,240 Speaker 1: A lot so gun bangs that loud? Okay, you think 1277 01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:20,360 Speaker 1: about if you think about um I talked about this 1278 01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:23,880 Speaker 1: a little bit in the generous article that Sam put 1279 01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,000 Speaker 1: out on mediator dot com here recently. I don't know 1280 01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:30,320 Speaker 1: if you've had a chance to peruse it. Sure, Okay, 1281 01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:32,760 Speaker 1: So when you when you think about decibels, you know 1282 01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:35,200 Speaker 1: you hear decibel, this decibel that, well you think think 1283 01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:38,240 Speaker 1: about it in terms of sound pressure level, and sound 1284 01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:42,400 Speaker 1: pressure is entering your ear at different intensities. Right, So 1285 01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:45,680 Speaker 1: a gun shot, like you haven't thought of that before? Well, 1286 01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:47,920 Speaker 1: there you go, So it really is. It is a 1287 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:52,439 Speaker 1: sound pressure level. And um, so we'll we'll take it 1288 01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,320 Speaker 1: from a physiology standpoint. So the acoustic wave at a 1289 01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:58,240 Speaker 1: sound whatever sound pressure level, enters your ear canal, hits 1290 01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:01,360 Speaker 1: your ear drum, vibrates your ear drum, which then vibrates 1291 01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,559 Speaker 1: the tiniest bones of your body, the osticles, the smallest 1292 01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,240 Speaker 1: of which the stapes moves in and out of what 1293 01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,680 Speaker 1: we call the window into your cochlea, which is your 1294 01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:14,760 Speaker 1: hearing nerve, which is that little snail shell two and 1295 01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:18,080 Speaker 1: a half turn that houses your hearing nerve where there's 1296 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:21,880 Speaker 1: these delicate hearing fibers. Now, I think this is pretty cool. 1297 01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,160 Speaker 1: If you were to unroll that snail shell, it's like 1298 01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:27,360 Speaker 1: a piano keyboard. So the little hair cells that get 1299 01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:29,559 Speaker 1: hit first and the hardest are coded for the highest 1300 01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:32,120 Speaker 1: pitches that you hear. And then as you move down 1301 01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:34,960 Speaker 1: towards the other end of the cocleus inside the coil, 1302 01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:37,960 Speaker 1: inside the coil, then you start getting down to the 1303 01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:41,200 Speaker 1: base tones. So it's a tone of topic organization like that. 1304 01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,800 Speaker 1: I want to ask a clarifying question about the pressure. Okay, 1305 01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:50,880 Speaker 1: early weird joke about Turkey Gowel's way off. That's creating 1306 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:55,400 Speaker 1: a sound pressure. It's moving through the sound pressure level, 1307 01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:58,040 Speaker 1: moving through the atmosphere in the form of a sound wave. 1308 01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:00,360 Speaker 1: I guess. I guess never thought about what was sound is, 1309 01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,400 Speaker 1: whenever thought it makes told sense, whenever thought about it 1310 01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:04,160 Speaker 1: being that when you think about the sound waves, like 1311 01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:08,040 Speaker 1: when we're at the lake and you can hear conversations 1312 01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,040 Speaker 1: that are being had at a campsite across the lake 1313 01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,760 Speaker 1: because the water, there's nothing to impede the flow of 1314 01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:15,240 Speaker 1: those sound waves moving across the water. As opposed to 1315 01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:17,639 Speaker 1: if you're in the woods and you've got all these 1316 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:21,479 Speaker 1: different baffles from the trees and the vegetation, that's going 1317 01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:24,960 Speaker 1: to interfere with how well that sound waves travels to 1318 01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:27,759 Speaker 1: your ear. The last morning of my turkey hunting season, 1319 01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:30,439 Speaker 1: I was on the edge of the lake and then 1320 01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:34,080 Speaker 1: about drove me nuts because they were turkey's goblin on 1321 01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:36,719 Speaker 1: all sides of that lake. Because the sound was traveling 1322 01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:40,320 Speaker 1: so well, I could not tell well and you can't 1323 01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:44,880 Speaker 1: tell trying to pinpoint a blue grouse on the lake. 1324 01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,680 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. We walked to the other side of 1325 01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:51,880 Speaker 1: the lake and he still sounded across the lake. That's right, 1326 01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:55,599 Speaker 1: he's back where we were well. And I'm I'm also 1327 01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:58,120 Speaker 1: thinking from your hearing test we took, if one year 1328 01:18:58,160 --> 01:18:59,840 Speaker 1: is better than the other, you're gonna have even more 1329 01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,479 Speaker 1: double pin pointing where that sounds coming from. So that 1330 01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:04,920 Speaker 1: was also to your disadvantage. I'm sorry, I just outed 1331 01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:11,120 Speaker 1: your hearing. So um, it's cool to me that the 1332 01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,679 Speaker 1: hearing nerve is coated like that for pitch because then, 1333 01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:17,000 Speaker 1: you know, like I've said before, we hear with our 1334 01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:20,640 Speaker 1: brains because it doesn't matter if if those hair fibers 1335 01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:23,320 Speaker 1: what has to happen is then that they have to 1336 01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:24,840 Speaker 1: transduce the sounds in it all the way up to 1337 01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:28,080 Speaker 1: your brain, where it's then processed by your auditory cortex, 1338 01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:31,400 Speaker 1: which is in each temporal lobe. And the auditory cortex 1339 01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:34,960 Speaker 1: is also organized ton of topically, so there's surface area 1340 01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:39,240 Speaker 1: of your brain that is dedicated to processing and interpreting 1341 01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:42,160 Speaker 1: all these different pitches. So for that gunshot, it's coming 1342 01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:45,800 Speaker 1: in hard and fast, and it's blasting those really high 1343 01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,320 Speaker 1: pitches first, and depending on how loud it is, it's 1344 01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:51,400 Speaker 1: it's getting the hair cells farther and farther down the cochlea. 1345 01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:53,960 Speaker 1: But that's why we see that high pitch hearing loss 1346 01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,799 Speaker 1: happen first as a result of noise exposure most typically 1347 01:19:57,200 --> 01:20:02,040 Speaker 1: and hunters will see what because that the the pressures 1348 01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:05,160 Speaker 1: damaging to the thing. If you picture it like almost 1349 01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:08,160 Speaker 1: like the little what is that right there, I'm looking turkey. 1350 01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:09,960 Speaker 1: If you look at the that's a very cool turkey 1351 01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:15,120 Speaker 1: feather photo, thank you. But as you referring to u 1352 01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:19,280 Speaker 1: um very detailed look at the end of turkey. It 1353 01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:23,360 Speaker 1: almost looks trapped. Yeah, But so you have these sillia 1354 01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:26,360 Speaker 1: and stereo sillia. These tiny hairs that are like this 1355 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:29,040 Speaker 1: and they're waiting on a sound to hit them, so 1356 01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:31,479 Speaker 1: that then that activates an action potential that with the 1357 01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:34,000 Speaker 1: synapse that sends the sound to your brain. Well, you 1358 01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:36,200 Speaker 1: know what's interesting about all that, All that wiring in 1359 01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:40,479 Speaker 1: your brain is um and then it's like, then then 1360 01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:43,960 Speaker 1: that is somehow lining up with learned experience. Yeah, where 1361 01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:47,519 Speaker 1: you assign a right, it's doing all this and then 1362 01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:52,799 Speaker 1: instantly assigning memory where the minute someone talks, your brains 1363 01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:58,800 Speaker 1: are like, oh, they're over there, it's Bob. He's irritated. Absolutely, 1364 01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,360 Speaker 1: And so when you asked those hair sell fibers and 1365 01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,200 Speaker 1: they they kind of kill over a little bit. And 1366 01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:06,320 Speaker 1: so you know, sometimes you'll leave a concert your ears 1367 01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:08,280 Speaker 1: are ringing, or in this situation the pit blond, you 1368 01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,040 Speaker 1: might walk out, your ears might be ringing, and if 1369 01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,639 Speaker 1: you're lucky, after a few days or a few hours, 1370 01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,160 Speaker 1: those hair cells will recover and you're here come back. 1371 01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:18,000 Speaker 1: You'll think, oh, I'm great, I'm standing again. Yes, it's 1372 01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,840 Speaker 1: called a temporary threshold shift, and so those those hair 1373 01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:22,800 Speaker 1: cells will kind of stand back up again, but you've 1374 01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:27,439 Speaker 1: undoubtedly weakened them. But when they're bent over. What is 1375 01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:33,880 Speaker 1: the ringing? That's a great question. So because our brains 1376 01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:38,639 Speaker 1: are programmed to be looking for this this stimulation that's 1377 01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:41,160 Speaker 1: coming in through the auditory system. So when you have 1378 01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:45,320 Speaker 1: a very discreet pitch, like from a gunshot that's been damaged, 1379 01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:49,479 Speaker 1: even temporarily, the brain is receiving great input from the 1380 01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:52,120 Speaker 1: hair cell fibers right next door to the ones that 1381 01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,240 Speaker 1: have been damaged. And so it's getting all this great 1382 01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:57,639 Speaker 1: stimulation and it's searching for a signal that's not coming, 1383 01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:01,160 Speaker 1: and it manufactures this ringing. The best way I know 1384 01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:04,880 Speaker 1: to provide an analogy to this is like a phantom 1385 01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,519 Speaker 1: limb syndrome. Someone loses a limb and they perceive pain 1386 01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:09,840 Speaker 1: in a limb that's no longer there. Your your brain 1387 01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:12,640 Speaker 1: is searching for sensory input that's not coming. Which is 1388 01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:16,040 Speaker 1: why when I've written about I've got a good article 1389 01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:18,920 Speaker 1: on tenadus, I'm kind of proud of it. But in 1390 01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:22,680 Speaker 1: that article it talks about how sometimes in audiology and 1391 01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,799 Speaker 1: audiologists will work to program into whatever your level devices 1392 01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:30,680 Speaker 1: you're wearing, a background noise that's pitch matched in loudnessmatched 1393 01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:33,439 Speaker 1: to your ringing. If it's a pervasive problem, and that 1394 01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:36,719 Speaker 1: provides the stimulation that's missing right at that pitch tells 1395 01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:41,639 Speaker 1: your brain to calm down. Tenadus is a fascinating topic, 1396 01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:48,640 Speaker 1: and we could spend other than tenitus. Tomato tomato. Is 1397 01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:53,439 Speaker 1: it okay? It is okay? My doctor said, tendatives. I said, like, 1398 01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:54,920 Speaker 1: I thought it was tenitas. He goes, I don't know 1399 01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,400 Speaker 1: what it is the academic medical community, like if I'm 1400 01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:59,519 Speaker 1: at continuing at lectures that sort of thing, everybody talks 1401 01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:02,559 Speaker 1: about TIS. But for whatever reason, in the public realm, 1402 01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:07,760 Speaker 1: it's a lot, you know either way either way. But um, 1403 01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:10,479 Speaker 1: but anyway, you know, the limbic system is very involved 1404 01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:14,600 Speaker 1: in regulating ringing. If you have it pervasively, you know, 1405 01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:18,120 Speaker 1: you'll notice that stress, caffeine salts, lack of sleep. What's 1406 01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:21,720 Speaker 1: the limbic system. The limbic system is UM. You can 1407 01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:25,040 Speaker 1: kind of equate it to almost like a nervous system 1408 01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:28,640 Speaker 1: or an emotional regulating system. It's the system that, like 1409 01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:33,040 Speaker 1: when your cortisol levels are amped and you're really stressed, UM, 1410 01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 1: there's an internal gating system that your your brain is 1411 01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:40,960 Speaker 1: working to try to overcome those things. And when that 1412 01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:46,840 Speaker 1: system is taxed because of stress because of lack of sleep, anxiety, um, 1413 01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:49,800 Speaker 1: too much caffeine. That's when you might notice that that 1414 01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:54,000 Speaker 1: ringing hits like a fever pitch. And some people are like, oh, 1415 01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:56,440 Speaker 1: that sounds like voodoo whatever. I don't believe in meditation, 1416 01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:59,280 Speaker 1: but that's why some of the psychological side of tenadis 1417 01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:02,439 Speaker 1: is the best man agement because once you learn that 1418 01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:05,240 Speaker 1: that there are these coping strategies and you kind of 1419 01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:08,799 Speaker 1: pay attention to stay in tune with what's happening, um 1420 01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:10,639 Speaker 1: with your body and kind of where you are in life. 1421 01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:12,800 Speaker 1: That sometimes if you are able to get a few 1422 01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:14,680 Speaker 1: really good night's sleep and just drink a bunch of 1423 01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:17,479 Speaker 1: water and maybe lay off the alcohol and caffeine, you'll 1424 01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:21,080 Speaker 1: get some relief in that ringing. You know what, now 1425 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:23,080 Speaker 1: that I've started to struggle with it, and I haven't 1426 01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:26,280 Speaker 1: it hasn't been bad for months whatever reason. Um, it's 1427 01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:30,240 Speaker 1: self perpetuating in a way because it will get real quiet, 1428 01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:32,320 Speaker 1: Like it might just be you're out hunting or whatever, 1429 01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:35,200 Speaker 1: listening for goggles and then you're like, oh, wow, there 1430 01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:38,080 Speaker 1: it is because in a quiet place, and then that 1431 01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:40,240 Speaker 1: ship then your brains like why is it there? Why 1432 01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:41,640 Speaker 1: is it there? Why is it there? And then it 1433 01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:44,360 Speaker 1: becomes deafening and you're like, well, it wasn't deafening a 1434 01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:46,439 Speaker 1: minute ago. It's only deafening now because I'm so like 1435 01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:48,479 Speaker 1: fixated on it, and then and then I hear it 1436 01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:51,240 Speaker 1: for days. Yes, when you tune into it, I mean 1437 01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:53,920 Speaker 1: truly the focus and the attention. And so if you 1438 01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:57,160 Speaker 1: can like mentally get yourself into a mental space where 1439 01:24:57,200 --> 01:25:01,000 Speaker 1: you can distract yourself from it with either a masking 1440 01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:03,760 Speaker 1: noise or play some soft music in the background something 1441 01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:06,679 Speaker 1: to get your mind off of it, it truly does help. 1442 01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:10,360 Speaker 1: That's where I'm at scientifically. Where now I have, like 1443 01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:15,480 Speaker 1: in my little memory bank, I have places and in context, 1444 01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:17,760 Speaker 1: I know where I can be in and I know 1445 01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:19,960 Speaker 1: it won't be there. Yeah, Like you get in the 1446 01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,439 Speaker 1: car and go drive, it's not there. You think about it, 1447 01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:25,960 Speaker 1: noise from the road and the truck. Is it bad 1448 01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:28,240 Speaker 1: enough that you'll go, I'm here right now, But will 1449 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:31,559 Speaker 1: you ever go take a step to make it go away? No, 1450 01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:33,479 Speaker 1: So it's never a bad enough You're like, I'm going 1451 01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:37,200 Speaker 1: to go for a drive. Can you pass the little 1452 01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:40,120 Speaker 1: pickled corns? There? Like I've had some people that are 1453 01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:43,960 Speaker 1: so debilitated by it. I mean they are they're not sleeping. 1454 01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:47,000 Speaker 1: I mean it's really affecting their lives. So these fancy 1455 01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:51,080 Speaker 1: new earpieces you got us though, Yeah, they got that 1456 01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:55,000 Speaker 1: little background noise, the background sounds. And that's because this 1457 01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,760 Speaker 1: particular product I've got you trying is um it may 1458 01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:01,000 Speaker 1: buy hearing a company, and so it's using a hearing 1459 01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:03,000 Speaker 1: aid chip, you know, just we connected through the hearing 1460 01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:05,920 Speaker 1: aid settings, not the Bluetooth settings, and so in the 1461 01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:09,080 Speaker 1: hearing aid world, we often use those settings to program 1462 01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:11,479 Speaker 1: in that background noise. So it might just help you 1463 01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:13,439 Speaker 1: with focus. You know, if if you don't have ringing, 1464 01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:15,120 Speaker 1: if you just want to go into a zin space 1465 01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:17,120 Speaker 1: in your office and like not only have the ear 1466 01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:19,559 Speaker 1: plugs in, but block out. But you know, if you 1467 01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:21,840 Speaker 1: have ringing in the ears, it can be a tool. 1468 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:24,040 Speaker 1: That's exactly what it's there for. It's on the hearing 1469 01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:27,439 Speaker 1: aid chip. What does PRO mean your company? ODO is 1470 01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:31,599 Speaker 1: the medical prefix for ear. A nottologist is an ear doctor, 1471 01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:35,479 Speaker 1: and then PRO is professional protection. Yeah, I was tracking 1472 01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:38,360 Speaker 1: that part. Yeah, it came to me when I was 1473 01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:40,599 Speaker 1: sitting in church, so I decided it was divinely inspired. 1474 01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:43,040 Speaker 1: I get questions about it, or could that you weren't 1475 01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:48,639 Speaker 1: paying attention to church. Yeah, don't don't tell my pastor hey, 1476 01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:50,920 Speaker 1: it's gone really well, I'm here with you now, so 1477 01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:54,200 Speaker 1: maybe you know, maybe it was want to be maybe 1478 01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:58,759 Speaker 1: it was uh you went so now that we were, 1479 01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:00,160 Speaker 1: is there more you want to say about, like what 1480 01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:02,280 Speaker 1: goes on? Because that was my dyeing, that was my 1481 01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:04,760 Speaker 1: number one dying question. I'm satisfied with the explanation now, 1482 01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:08,200 Speaker 1: But what is it when you get like the wham? Yeah, 1483 01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:11,800 Speaker 1: but this part two, there's a part two. Then a 1484 01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:16,320 Speaker 1: couple days later you're like, oh, went away. Um, but 1485 01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:18,599 Speaker 1: eventually it kind of creep up. But eventually it kind 1486 01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:21,320 Speaker 1: of didn't write like you do that enough times throughout 1487 01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:23,320 Speaker 1: your life, or your shoot a suppressor and you're not 1488 01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:27,160 Speaker 1: being careful, or you're a little kid and you're burning up, 1489 01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:31,200 Speaker 1: or you're a little kid and your mom and dad 1490 01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:33,120 Speaker 1: give you those little milk cartons stow of twenty two 1491 01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:38,439 Speaker 1: shells and it's just like incessant all day shooting until 1492 01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:42,320 Speaker 1: you run out. Maybe we never wore hearing protection. It 1493 01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:44,519 Speaker 1: was like as unheard of as having a bike helmet. 1494 01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:46,519 Speaker 1: Why would you do? Yeah, but this is why I'm 1495 01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:49,639 Speaker 1: guilful about the future of where we're going with hearing health, 1496 01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:51,400 Speaker 1: because all of us sitting around this table did not 1497 01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:54,040 Speaker 1: grow up with hearing protection. But we're thinking about it, 1498 01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:56,200 Speaker 1: and we're sure as heck thinking about it for our kids. 1499 01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:58,639 Speaker 1: We're going to the range today. This is how trained 1500 01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:00,519 Speaker 1: people are when we're going to the rain change today. 1501 01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:05,160 Speaker 1: And then we got flooded out. Uh my kid, I 1502 01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:06,920 Speaker 1: was gonna bring him with. I had my older boy 1503 01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:08,240 Speaker 1: with me. I wasn't bring the other ones, but they 1504 01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:12,240 Speaker 1: were still sleeping. He um. He said, already you have 1505 01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:15,479 Speaker 1: my headphones. I was like, man, that's not a sentence 1506 01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:20,400 Speaker 1: I would ever said. Good for him. I mean truly, 1507 01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:24,200 Speaker 1: because noise damage is cumulative. I like to equate it 1508 01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:26,920 Speaker 1: to sun exposure. Like I wish I could go back 1509 01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:28,559 Speaker 1: to my I hate to even admit this now, but 1510 01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:30,400 Speaker 1: like my time I spent in the early nineties and 1511 01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:33,519 Speaker 1: a tanning bed, the amount of money I'm spending now 1512 01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:35,879 Speaker 1: to try to reverse that damage. With all the potions 1513 01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:38,120 Speaker 1: and lotions and facials and all that stuff. You know, 1514 01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:41,519 Speaker 1: you're being getting stuff cut off yourself. No, I just mean, like, 1515 01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:44,360 Speaker 1: you know, trying to smooth out the wrinkles and the 1516 01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:46,479 Speaker 1: skin clear and all that stuff because all the sun 1517 01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:49,120 Speaker 1: spots and sun damage from baking in the sun. But 1518 01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:51,919 Speaker 1: you know, at the time, I might get a little sunburned, 1519 01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:54,040 Speaker 1: but then it goes away and you think, oh it's fine, 1520 01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:56,840 Speaker 1: but it's damaging, and it's damage that might not show 1521 01:28:56,920 --> 01:28:59,320 Speaker 1: up until later. And you're hearing is a lot the same. 1522 01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:02,320 Speaker 1: You know, our our regulatory systems. You have got NIOSH 1523 01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:03,960 Speaker 1: and you've got OSHA on how much you want to 1524 01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:06,680 Speaker 1: get into that, But um NIOSH does the research, makes 1525 01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:11,200 Speaker 1: the recommendations, and then OSHA is what enforces the workplace guidelines. Okay, 1526 01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:15,160 Speaker 1: And so you know, with both of those systems there's 1527 01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:17,400 Speaker 1: a big problem because they're assuming that all of your 1528 01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:19,680 Speaker 1: noise exposure is during an eight hour work day. So 1529 01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:22,439 Speaker 1: they give you these doses and like time allowances for 1530 01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:24,960 Speaker 1: certain noise levels, but they don't take into account that 1531 01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,280 Speaker 1: you may go home and mow the grass, or go 1532 01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:30,439 Speaker 1: hear some live music, or just blast the radio in 1533 01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:34,439 Speaker 1: your car, you know, and or sleep with a sound 1534 01:29:34,439 --> 01:29:38,040 Speaker 1: machine on blasting like you're in like the rainforest cafe 1535 01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:41,559 Speaker 1: or something, you know, And so all of this enough 1536 01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:43,920 Speaker 1: to do something, Oh yeah, yeah, I mean sure, it 1537 01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:45,840 Speaker 1: depends on the lawnmower. I mean my dad was cutting 1538 01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:48,080 Speaker 1: grass with the big tractor, you know, and sit on 1539 01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:51,759 Speaker 1: the tractor idling and like nothing in your ears blower 1540 01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:53,920 Speaker 1: has got to be up there. Oh yeah yeah, And 1541 01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:56,080 Speaker 1: that's as like that. That noise is kind of like 1542 01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:58,880 Speaker 1: it gets to you, right, and the chainsaw gets to 1543 01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:00,559 Speaker 1: you well, and it'll get to you more and more 1544 01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:03,040 Speaker 1: as you're hearing gets worse and worse. Because an interesting, 1545 01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:05,240 Speaker 1: really interesting thing. One of us talked about this earlier. 1546 01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:08,120 Speaker 1: The more hearing loss you have, the less tolerance you 1547 01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:10,560 Speaker 1: have for loud sounds. So like I used to be 1548 01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:13,160 Speaker 1: able to stand front center at my favorite shows in Nashville, 1549 01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:15,200 Speaker 1: and I mean I was just enjoying it. Nothing ever 1550 01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:18,679 Speaker 1: sounded distorted or I didn't get that buzzy, rattily feeling. 1551 01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:21,759 Speaker 1: But I get that now, so I wear my little customers. 1552 01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:24,240 Speaker 1: That's so surprising that it makes you because you think 1553 01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:27,320 Speaker 1: you'd just be like zoned out. And that's why when 1554 01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:30,200 Speaker 1: you are ready to seek hering aids or hearing technology, 1555 01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:32,120 Speaker 1: I don't even want to hear calm hearing aids anymore 1556 01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:33,880 Speaker 1: because they've come so far with what they can do. 1557 01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:36,840 Speaker 1: But that's why it's really important to not just walk 1558 01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:39,160 Speaker 1: into like a Costco or Sam's. You need to find 1559 01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:42,120 Speaker 1: a qualified credential person to help you with this. Not 1560 01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:45,040 Speaker 1: only is in an ongoing relationship that requires some tuning 1561 01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:46,720 Speaker 1: and it's just not a one size fits all, but 1562 01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:50,280 Speaker 1: it gets really tricky because your dynamic range, your tolerable 1563 01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:53,920 Speaker 1: range of hearing, gets smaller and smaller, and we're trying 1564 01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,120 Speaker 1: to make things sound naturally while using a lot of 1565 01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:59,400 Speaker 1: compression to fit everything in that window, and that's tricky 1566 01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:02,840 Speaker 1: to do. We moved into a house. The first house 1567 01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:05,639 Speaker 1: my wife and I bought, it was like the whole 1568 01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:12,080 Speaker 1: ground floor was there's no walls, no divisions, like all 1569 01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:15,680 Speaker 1: the way open and man, my stress level with the 1570 01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:19,160 Speaker 1: kids echoing like you've been there trying to cook dinner 1571 01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:21,320 Speaker 1: and you've got some music on and they're like fighting 1572 01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:25,000 Speaker 1: about something or banging around, throwing balls around. Yeah, it 1573 01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:27,680 Speaker 1: would make me go mad, and the people around me 1574 01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:32,520 Speaker 1: weren't going mad, like it was like it's like a comphony, 1575 01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:35,760 Speaker 1: you know. Well, I feel like for me personally, I've 1576 01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:38,840 Speaker 1: also lost some tolerance, not not necessarily only of just 1577 01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:41,840 Speaker 1: really loud sounds, but of being able to focus in 1578 01:31:41,840 --> 01:31:44,160 Speaker 1: the midst of a lot of noisy chaos going on 1579 01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:46,439 Speaker 1: around me. Like I used to be able to study, 1580 01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:49,120 Speaker 1: you know, with friends in the apartment, music and people 1581 01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:50,680 Speaker 1: doing this, and I could zone in and focus. And 1582 01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:52,600 Speaker 1: now my ability to focus in the midst of a 1583 01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:56,400 Speaker 1: lot of that chaos has really decreased, which is interesting. 1584 01:31:57,240 --> 01:32:00,160 Speaker 1: You got some like frontal lobe executive functioned and I 1585 01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:02,439 Speaker 1: don't know, but is that is that necessarily related to 1586 01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:04,360 Speaker 1: hearing loss or is that just related to like your 1587 01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:07,160 Speaker 1: brain changes over time. And I think it's both. I 1588 01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:09,599 Speaker 1: think it's like what gives you like grumpy people, grumpy 1589 01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:12,439 Speaker 1: old people, grumpy old people. My dad jerks his hearing 1590 01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:14,599 Speaker 1: aids out. The grandkids come around. I've got three kids, 1591 01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:16,920 Speaker 1: My sister's got three kids. They're running around and he 1592 01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:19,720 Speaker 1: loves them. But oh man, I mean he jerks, says 1593 01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:21,719 Speaker 1: hearing aids out and puts them on the table. I'm like, dad, 1594 01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:25,519 Speaker 1: come on, come on. So because he feels like it's 1595 01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:29,200 Speaker 1: easier for him to deal without the aids because he 1596 01:32:29,280 --> 01:32:31,559 Speaker 1: just wants them to be quiet, and instead of asking 1597 01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:33,719 Speaker 1: them to be quiet, which he knows it's not gonna work. 1598 01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:36,320 Speaker 1: He just takes his hearing aids off or mutes them, 1599 01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:38,640 Speaker 1: or start streaming a ball game through them instead of 1600 01:32:38,680 --> 01:32:52,400 Speaker 1: listening to the children. You know, survival methan doesn't. What 1601 01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:55,599 Speaker 1: else you want to know explained? Like what the long 1602 01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:57,920 Speaker 1: term damage looks like? I mean, if all these things 1603 01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:03,560 Speaker 1: are physical structures, right, so you can presumably you could, uh, 1604 01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:05,559 Speaker 1: you could do what do you call it when someone 1605 01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:10,880 Speaker 1: dies apart? You're do an autopsy? Well, I don't know, 1606 01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:12,599 Speaker 1: I say, presumably. I don't know the answer to this. 1607 01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:16,240 Speaker 1: Could you do an autopsy on a on a dead 1608 01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:20,439 Speaker 1: person who had just was exposed like outrageous levels of 1609 01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:23,599 Speaker 1: loud noise and had hearing damage? Could you do an 1610 01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:28,200 Speaker 1: autopsy and say, like through a microscope or whatever, like, oh, 1611 01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:34,040 Speaker 1: this person, uh suffered damage from loud noise? Or is 1612 01:33:34,080 --> 01:33:35,920 Speaker 1: it that you can't because you can't see the inner 1613 01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:39,240 Speaker 1: workings of the brain. Well, I think there could be 1614 01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:41,000 Speaker 1: even a more interesting way to look at it. And 1615 01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:43,000 Speaker 1: that gives me a great segue. This kind of ties 1616 01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:45,760 Speaker 1: into how I why I started outo produ begin with. 1617 01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:49,240 Speaker 1: So I was working clinically and my clinical knee should 1618 01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:51,120 Speaker 1: kind of evolve to become an area where I was 1619 01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:52,840 Speaker 1: working with a lot of people who had dementia and 1620 01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:55,240 Speaker 1: hearing loss, and I was looking at how there was 1621 01:33:55,280 --> 01:33:57,160 Speaker 1: this negative synergy between the two. And there was a 1622 01:33:57,200 --> 01:33:59,679 Speaker 1: lot of good research coming out from John's Hopkins University 1623 01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:02,479 Speaker 1: of colle Rotto at the time looking at what's happening 1624 01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:05,960 Speaker 1: in your brain with auditory deprivation and untreated hearing lass. 1625 01:34:06,280 --> 01:34:10,120 Speaker 1: This we're seeing this, this negative synergy. So and I 1626 01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:12,679 Speaker 1: see that first. I only heard about that just recently, 1627 01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:18,760 Speaker 1: the link between. So I started kind of writing and 1628 01:34:18,760 --> 01:34:21,840 Speaker 1: putting together some articles for other audiologists, taking basically a 1629 01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:24,400 Speaker 1: lit review of what we know right now in research 1630 01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:26,479 Speaker 1: and how you can apply this to your clinical practice. 1631 01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:30,640 Speaker 1: And so then when our University Medical Center in Mississippi 1632 01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:33,280 Speaker 1: was chosen as a data collection site for this study 1633 01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:37,000 Speaker 1: out of Johns Hopkins looking at this topic, it was 1634 01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:38,880 Speaker 1: like I was the prime person to go work on 1635 01:34:38,920 --> 01:34:41,639 Speaker 1: this study. So did that, and so we're looking at 1636 01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:45,200 Speaker 1: we're this particular study was looking at whether hearing aid 1637 01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:47,880 Speaker 1: intervention could delay the onset or slow the rate of 1638 01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:52,160 Speaker 1: decline for dementia. And for example, I'll tell you like 1639 01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:56,160 Speaker 1: it's core, both of those things were positively positively correlated 1640 01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:58,280 Speaker 1: with the degree of untreated hearing laws. So with a 1641 01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:01,920 Speaker 1: severe untreated hearing loss, we were seeing an onset of 1642 01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:05,240 Speaker 1: dementia that was three point two years earlier than it 1643 01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:08,880 Speaker 1: would have been otherwise and five times faster right of 1644 01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:12,160 Speaker 1: decline then compared to the normal control. Is it like, 1645 01:35:12,200 --> 01:35:14,439 Speaker 1: maybe you're gonna get to this, But is it just 1646 01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:17,960 Speaker 1: because your brain is not like that level of activity 1647 01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:20,560 Speaker 1: isn't occurring in your brain. Well, there's two things to 1648 01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:24,000 Speaker 1: primary processes that really stuck stuck out to me. One 1649 01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:28,240 Speaker 1: was called cross moodal plasticity. The other was cortical resource reallocation. Well, 1650 01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:32,040 Speaker 1: I'll break that down quickly. So one thing is when 1651 01:35:32,080 --> 01:35:34,640 Speaker 1: you are struggling to hear because you're not getting that 1652 01:35:34,680 --> 01:35:37,439 Speaker 1: auditory signal, think about yourself like out of wedding at 1653 01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:40,280 Speaker 1: at sets upcoming wedding reception. So you're trying to talk 1654 01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:42,160 Speaker 1: to somebody, there's a band play and there's music. You 1655 01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:45,600 Speaker 1: are focusing in so hard to try to understand what 1656 01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:48,519 Speaker 1: that person is saying in the moment that there's less 1657 01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:52,160 Speaker 1: cognitive reserve left over to recall that information later. So 1658 01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:54,519 Speaker 1: you're much more likely to remember my name if I 1659 01:35:54,920 --> 01:35:57,760 Speaker 1: introduced to you during this quiet room podcast, and it's 1660 01:35:57,840 --> 01:36:01,599 Speaker 1: easy listening environment. Then you are when you are focused 1661 01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:03,400 Speaker 1: in and just trying to know in that moment, so 1662 01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:07,400 Speaker 1: there's less room for later recall of information. So that's 1663 01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:10,080 Speaker 1: one thing that's playing in when people are struggling to hear. 1664 01:36:10,439 --> 01:36:13,760 Speaker 1: They have a harder time remembering what they heard. All 1665 01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:16,240 Speaker 1: their energies to all their energyes is going to that. 1666 01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:18,599 Speaker 1: But to your point of how could we look at 1667 01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:21,560 Speaker 1: the physical aspect of what's happening? Um, it was the 1668 01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:23,680 Speaker 1: University of Colorado that started looking at this, and this 1669 01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:28,599 Speaker 1: was the the cross moodal plasticity thing. So we could 1670 01:36:28,680 --> 01:36:30,720 Speaker 1: put somebody in a functional mri I that had a 1671 01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:33,200 Speaker 1: bunch of hearing loss or even with mild and moderate 1672 01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:37,519 Speaker 1: hearing loss, play an auditory signal and then give some 1673 01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:40,920 Speaker 1: visual stimuli and we start to see that the areas 1674 01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:44,280 Speaker 1: of the brain specifically, what is the audio and what 1675 01:36:44,360 --> 01:36:47,000 Speaker 1: is the visual Um. I'd have to look back at 1676 01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:48,920 Speaker 1: the study to tell you exactly what the audio was. 1677 01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:50,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if they were playing like their favorite 1678 01:36:50,479 --> 01:36:52,519 Speaker 1: music or if they were playing clicks and beeps, but 1679 01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:57,040 Speaker 1: individual will be not You're not like watching a movie, 1680 01:36:57,040 --> 01:36:59,599 Speaker 1: you're just seeing something, You're just seeing something like images 1681 01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:03,040 Speaker 1: of something. But the but the moral is we're starting 1682 01:37:03,080 --> 01:37:05,000 Speaker 1: to see where that if if the area of the 1683 01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:07,400 Speaker 1: brain it's coded to process sound is not being used 1684 01:37:07,439 --> 01:37:10,120 Speaker 1: to process sound, it's going to get recruited by other 1685 01:37:10,160 --> 01:37:13,280 Speaker 1: sensory systems to process that input. So we would start 1686 01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:15,840 Speaker 1: to see your auditory cortex light up in response to 1687 01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:19,439 Speaker 1: a visual stimulus. Think about how, um, you know, people 1688 01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:22,559 Speaker 1: who have lost their vision have a higher alertness for 1689 01:37:22,560 --> 01:37:25,200 Speaker 1: their hearing, or people who are deaf might have a 1690 01:37:25,520 --> 01:37:28,160 Speaker 1: higher visual acuity, or you think about the ability to 1691 01:37:28,200 --> 01:37:31,160 Speaker 1: read brail, you know, And it's because the brain is 1692 01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:34,800 Speaker 1: able to devote more surface area to those processes because 1693 01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:36,519 Speaker 1: it's not being used for what it was intended, so 1694 01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:40,680 Speaker 1: that the neural connections start to reorganize. And so we 1695 01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:42,680 Speaker 1: could look at that and say, Okay, how much has 1696 01:37:42,720 --> 01:37:46,800 Speaker 1: your brain reorganized because of the sensory deprivation and so 1697 01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:49,760 Speaker 1: anyway I could go on for it, but hit me 1698 01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:52,920 Speaker 1: with why that might lead to why the hearing loss 1699 01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:58,040 Speaker 1: could like you explained it with the term that like 1700 01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:02,000 Speaker 1: you're working hard to hear everything you're not processing, But 1701 01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:03,840 Speaker 1: what is the what is the other one. What is 1702 01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:06,559 Speaker 1: how does that relate to hear? That reorganization relate to 1703 01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:08,840 Speaker 1: hear you like you're robbed, Like parts of your brain 1704 01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:11,120 Speaker 1: are robbing from other parts. Parts your brain are robbing 1705 01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:13,080 Speaker 1: from other parts. And that's part of what they're still 1706 01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:15,760 Speaker 1: trying to distinguish is exactly how those changes in their 1707 01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:19,439 Speaker 1: old processes are relating to that breakdown long term, like 1708 01:38:19,560 --> 01:38:23,640 Speaker 1: something that you need might be like neglected or reallocated 1709 01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:27,040 Speaker 1: or that's right, that's right, and so um, those are 1710 01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:28,640 Speaker 1: just two of the of the main points that I 1711 01:38:28,680 --> 01:38:31,320 Speaker 1: find really cool about how your brain is responding to 1712 01:38:31,360 --> 01:38:33,800 Speaker 1: that lack of input. And then that's why when if 1713 01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:36,120 Speaker 1: you have a really a big hearing loss and you 1714 01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:39,519 Speaker 1: put on these amplified earplugs or hearing it's for the 1715 01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:42,479 Speaker 1: first time, it all just might sound like noise, and 1716 01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:44,799 Speaker 1: you have to give your brain time almost like physical 1717 01:38:44,840 --> 01:38:48,840 Speaker 1: therapy for your brain. It's like auditory training. Um, just 1718 01:38:48,880 --> 01:38:50,519 Speaker 1: like learning to blow a duckt collum. You gotta you 1719 01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:54,160 Speaker 1: gotta give your brain time to readjust so that things 1720 01:38:54,160 --> 01:38:59,080 Speaker 1: can start to sound normal again. Uh. I'm gonna tell 1721 01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:03,160 Speaker 1: how we met, please do okay? So the reason Grace 1722 01:39:03,240 --> 01:39:05,800 Speaker 1: is sitting here is because I don't know who arranged this, 1723 01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:08,679 Speaker 1: I'll tell you. You came in to do a company 1724 01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:11,400 Speaker 1: wide You came in to do a company wide fitting. Yeah, 1725 01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:13,720 Speaker 1: and I was like someone I don't know who told 1726 01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:15,040 Speaker 1: me someone like, hey, if you want to get some 1727 01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:21,880 Speaker 1: uh custom your plugs, go to the downstairs at like 1728 01:39:21,920 --> 01:39:25,479 Speaker 1: noon or whatever. It sounds interesting. So I went down 1729 01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:27,400 Speaker 1: and you and I got to shooting the ship about 1730 01:39:27,439 --> 01:39:29,840 Speaker 1: hearing protection. And then like two hours later, you want 1731 01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:31,200 Speaker 1: to come on the Five Games said you should come 1732 01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:33,280 Speaker 1: on the podcast and tell everybody about what happens when 1733 01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:36,120 Speaker 1: this happens. So back to how we met. We met 1734 01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:37,559 Speaker 1: like how did it come to me that you came 1735 01:39:37,600 --> 01:39:39,960 Speaker 1: to do like for like, who invited you to come 1736 01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:43,799 Speaker 1: do that? This business has been so relational driven for me. Um, 1737 01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:47,760 Speaker 1: So because of all this research I was looking at, 1738 01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:50,200 Speaker 1: I wanted my own family to have good hearing protection. 1739 01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:53,640 Speaker 1: So I started going to people's houses after Yeah, Well, 1740 01:39:53,680 --> 01:39:55,599 Speaker 1: I was like, I want my own dad to be 1741 01:39:55,640 --> 01:39:57,960 Speaker 1: wearing good hearing protection, but he would not come into 1742 01:39:57,960 --> 01:39:59,479 Speaker 1: the medical clinic to do it. So I said, well, 1743 01:39:59,479 --> 01:40:01,639 Speaker 1: I'll just go to you. And then words started spreading, 1744 01:40:01,720 --> 01:40:03,960 Speaker 1: and then This was never part of the business plan. 1745 01:40:04,040 --> 01:40:06,880 Speaker 1: I never set out to create this national network of 1746 01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:09,960 Speaker 1: audiologist and be on this crusade for hearing protection. But 1747 01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:12,920 Speaker 1: it's organically gotten to that point and it is. It 1748 01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:17,840 Speaker 1: has been wild and amazing to just be in this journey. 1749 01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:21,679 Speaker 1: But I'm we met through chef Sean Paul, your guy 1750 01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:25,240 Speaker 1: that does Duck Camp Dinners the show. It's a great show, um. 1751 01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:28,240 Speaker 1: And I was introduced to him through this guy, Josh Raggio, 1752 01:40:28,320 --> 01:40:30,439 Speaker 1: who lives down in my neck of the woods. Raggio 1753 01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:33,719 Speaker 1: Custom Calls is his like duck call, Like these coutour 1754 01:40:33,880 --> 01:40:36,559 Speaker 1: duck calls, they're like art, They're amazing. That's first time 1755 01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:38,920 Speaker 1: anyone's ever used that word on this podcast. I've never 1756 01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:42,800 Speaker 1: even heard that word. Which it's like you'd be like, 1757 01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:47,080 Speaker 1: um uh, what will be a co tour brand? I 1758 01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:54,599 Speaker 1: don't know, like a like a high end designer, beautiful boogie, 1759 01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:59,559 Speaker 1: one of a kindre made for you custom could Um, 1760 01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:02,559 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think like in my mind, I 1761 01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:06,200 Speaker 1: feel it would be applied to like handbags, right, like 1762 01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:10,200 Speaker 1: very expensive hand isn't the handbag? And there's Juicy co Tour, right, 1763 01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:18,880 Speaker 1: there's Juicy Coe Tour which is like, oh you t 1764 01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:23,559 Speaker 1: you are? Yeah, what is juicy co tour being not 1765 01:41:23,720 --> 01:41:28,320 Speaker 1: co tour? Right? That's being juicy trashy. You said it, 1766 01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:31,560 Speaker 1: not me. What's funny about you making the comparison to 1767 01:41:31,680 --> 01:41:34,639 Speaker 1: handbags is her and I were talking about Raggio custom 1768 01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:38,759 Speaker 1: calls earlier and I said they are like handbags for dudes. 1769 01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:42,439 Speaker 1: He did say that, He did say that. But but 1770 01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:45,320 Speaker 1: so I met Raggio at a Duck's Unlimited banquet back 1771 01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:47,120 Speaker 1: when I was first getting started, and I'm like, hey, 1772 01:41:47,160 --> 01:41:48,560 Speaker 1: I'll just throw up a table and go talk to 1773 01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:51,559 Speaker 1: people about hearing protection at this du banquet. Oh no, no, backup, 1774 01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:54,760 Speaker 1: because is this still how we met? Yeah?

She takes a cock gun sticks that 1786 01:42:21,280 --> 01:42:25,880 Speaker 1: thing where it has no business going. It's like on 1787 01:42:25,920 --> 01:42:28,160 Speaker 1: my Instagram, I'm gonna put a picture up where someone 1788 01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:30,280 Speaker 1: took a video of it happening to me, and I'm 1789 01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:32,840 Speaker 1: gonna make a screen grab of the point where it 1790 01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:34,840 Speaker 1: got to where she wants it to be. To start 1791 01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:38,320 Speaker 1: filling your ear full of cock to get an impression. 1792 01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:41,760 Speaker 1: But I don't know if you're encouraging people to come 1793 01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:46,559 Speaker 1: to me, because let me tell you something. I a 1794 01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:48,640 Speaker 1: while ago, I don't want name names, but while I 1795 01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:51,720 Speaker 1: go Yanny and I had the opportunity to get some 1796 01:42:52,280 --> 01:42:54,160 Speaker 1: name and name no, I mean, I can eat your 1797 01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:59,960 Speaker 1: name who you were somewhere. They didn't do that. They 1798 01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:03,160 Speaker 1: didn't do the deep dive. It's like getting a COVID 1799 01:43:03,280 --> 01:43:05,400 Speaker 1: test for your ear. Yeah, I was gonna say, if 1800 01:43:05,439 --> 01:43:08,120 Speaker 1: you had one of the early COVID tests where it 1801 01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:10,840 Speaker 1: felt like they were tickling your brain through your nose, 1802 01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:14,280 Speaker 1: that's grace. This is similar to that, but through your ear. 1803 01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:17,840 Speaker 1: Now she gets deep. She's taken a deep she puts 1804 01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:19,760 Speaker 1: in a what is that ship? What are you? What 1805 01:43:19,760 --> 01:43:21,240 Speaker 1: are you putting in there? It's like a two part 1806 01:43:21,240 --> 01:43:24,360 Speaker 1: of POxy type goes in soft way couple minutes, pulls 1807 01:43:24,360 --> 01:43:27,599 Speaker 1: out it like makes a impression, makes a very detail impression, 1808 01:43:27,960 --> 01:43:31,720 Speaker 1: but she likes to the impression is it's deep. Yeah, 1809 01:43:31,760 --> 01:43:33,439 Speaker 1: it's deep, and it needs to go past the bend 1810 01:43:33,439 --> 01:43:35,639 Speaker 1: of your the second bend of your ear canal, because 1811 01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:37,360 Speaker 1: I want to make sure we're not shooting the sound 1812 01:43:37,479 --> 01:43:39,240 Speaker 1: right into your ear canal wall. I want to I 1813 01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:43,000 Speaker 1: want to point that sound right to your ear drum, 1814 01:43:41,760 --> 01:43:45,240 Speaker 1: and it's actually more comfortable and if you go run around, 1815 01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:47,920 Speaker 1: it stays in. Explain that more. I think you just 1816 01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:49,880 Speaker 1: said something that makes sense to me because we've been 1817 01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:53,240 Speaker 1: having this conversation. If someone's listening is like, what are 1818 01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:55,120 Speaker 1: they talking? What are you saying when you're saying I 1819 01:43:55,120 --> 01:43:57,880 Speaker 1: want to shoot that sound, not just that you're your 1820 01:43:57,920 --> 01:44:01,559 Speaker 1: ear canal wall, so you're most human ears have two bends. 1821 01:44:01,720 --> 01:44:04,080 Speaker 1: There's a first bend where it curves around, and then 1822 01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:06,080 Speaker 1: there's a second bend, which is why you don't want 1823 01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:07,960 Speaker 1: to put que tips in there, because you're pushing stuff 1824 01:44:07,960 --> 01:44:09,640 Speaker 1: around the second bend. That's where it builds up and 1825 01:44:12,240 --> 01:44:16,439 Speaker 1: that's where I get the Q tip needs to hire 1826 01:44:16,479 --> 01:44:20,160 Speaker 1: a better lobby, dude. People beat up on q tips, 1827 01:44:20,240 --> 01:44:22,720 Speaker 1: but there's still que tips. They're still qute tips. I 1828 01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:25,479 Speaker 1: use them with my to put some makeup on. What 1829 01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:29,000 Speaker 1: about using hydrogen peroxide? That's okay, that's good as long 1830 01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:30,160 Speaker 1: as you don't have a hole in your ear drum 1831 01:44:30,200 --> 01:44:33,400 Speaker 1: or anything, because I could get that, but it works. 1832 01:44:33,400 --> 01:44:36,760 Speaker 1: Have you ever done that? You put hydrogen peroxide in 1833 01:44:36,800 --> 01:44:39,840 Speaker 1: your ear, it bubbles up and they just basically then 1834 01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:42,080 Speaker 1: you take a syringe and squirt some water in there 1835 01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:46,840 Speaker 1: and flushes everything out. Man, I go careful. I go 1836 01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:49,280 Speaker 1: down periodically and have these chunks that ship that looks 1837 01:44:49,280 --> 01:44:53,400 Speaker 1: like the end of a pencil eraser. About that hard? 1838 01:44:54,800 --> 01:45:00,559 Speaker 1: What are you saying? Oh? But to this point? So um, 1839 01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:03,840 Speaker 1: you know, if if I don't accommodate the bins of 1840 01:45:03,880 --> 01:45:06,559 Speaker 1: your ear canal by by making a really deep impression 1841 01:45:06,560 --> 01:45:09,800 Speaker 1: and getting that full picture, then the sound is going 1842 01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:11,639 Speaker 1: to come through the ear plug. You mean the sound 1843 01:45:11,640 --> 01:45:13,200 Speaker 1: that you want to come in, right, It's going to 1844 01:45:13,280 --> 01:45:15,559 Speaker 1: come through the ear plug. And then if if the 1845 01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:18,439 Speaker 1: ear plug dead ends into your ear canal wall, that's 1846 01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:20,320 Speaker 1: not gonna sound very good. That's like putting a speaker 1847 01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:22,160 Speaker 1: and facing it toward the wall. You gotta back up 1848 01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:25,200 Speaker 1: because I feel like people might be confused you were 1849 01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:33,720 Speaker 1: fitting us for hearing protection that it's like, uh, it's 1850 01:45:33,880 --> 01:45:35,519 Speaker 1: it's flushed to your ear.

Those are the sound gear Phantom. 1852 01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:43,760 Speaker 1: It made a mold, but they're like little headphones but 1853 01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:46,280 Speaker 1: ear plugs, but ear plugs. When you say the sound 1854 01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:47,920 Speaker 1: you're talking about, that you can turn it on and 1855 01:45:47,960 --> 01:45:50,120 Speaker 1: control it with your phone and turn the volume up 1856 01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:52,559 Speaker 1: so that you can converse and be like, hey, here 1857 01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:55,400 Speaker 1: comes some talks at ten o'clock.

And then uh, and then I was complaining. 1912 01:48:24,800 --> 01:48:26,479 Speaker 1: Another thing that prompted us to have you come on 1913 01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:29,599 Speaker 1: talk about your services is I was saying how I 1914 01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:36,200 Speaker 1: had just gone to order a good swim ear plug 1915 01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:40,640 Speaker 1: and when I'm after to swim, anyone that suffers from 1916 01:48:40,640 --> 01:48:42,400 Speaker 1: where you you spend time in the water and then 1917 01:48:42,439 --> 01:48:44,759 Speaker 1: you have water your ear and it drives you little bonkers, 1918 01:48:45,560 --> 01:48:49,160 Speaker 1: or I've had and it's ever happened to people, But 1919 01:48:49,720 --> 01:48:53,439 Speaker 1: someone like kicks a fin close to your head or 1920 01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:55,679 Speaker 1: does a fast movement close to your head and pushes 1921 01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:58,920 Speaker 1: a wall of water, it's painful. Well, in your ear 1922 01:48:58,920 --> 01:49:02,120 Speaker 1: canals are quite bendy, as we found out with your 1923 01:49:02,120 --> 01:49:05,439 Speaker 1: Emerald impression process, so water can get trapped back there 1924 01:49:05,560 --> 01:49:08,640 Speaker 1: harder for it to run back. So I went online 1925 01:49:08,840 --> 01:49:13,200 Speaker 1: and bought some kind of like Joe Blow nineteen dollar 1926 01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:15,720 Speaker 1: thing and it made a big difference. But every time 1927 01:49:15,720 --> 01:49:17,880 Speaker 1: I get out of water, I'm missing one or both 1928 01:49:17,920 --> 01:49:19,880 Speaker 1: of them, and I would just tie them to the 1929 01:49:19,880 --> 01:49:21,880 Speaker 1: back of my mask and so I'd usually like recover 1930 01:49:21,960 --> 01:49:23,720 Speaker 1: them somehow, but they would never were they were when 1931 01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:26,240 Speaker 1: I started but I was having positive like I was. 1932 01:49:28,160 --> 01:49:29,960 Speaker 1: You call it body surfing my kids, right, and I 1933 01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:32,679 Speaker 1: had them in and UM made a big difference because 1934 01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:34,120 Speaker 1: I'm a really scared to do that kind of stuff 1935 01:49:34,160 --> 01:49:36,960 Speaker 1: because that sort of thing gets water my ears. But 1936 01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:39,920 Speaker 1: you made me a souped up one of those, and 1937 01:49:39,960 --> 01:49:42,200 Speaker 1: they're corded. And and now that I've got your ears 1938 01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:45,160 Speaker 1: molded in a digital file of that, if Heaven forbid 1939 01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:47,120 Speaker 1: you lose them, you just shoot me a message and 1940 01:49:47,160 --> 01:49:48,960 Speaker 1: I'll get you another set made, I don't have to 1941 01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:52,240 Speaker 1: mold your ears again, So that's nice. But you know 1942 01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:54,840 Speaker 1: one thing, you know, these custom products. I'm a big 1943 01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:57,479 Speaker 1: believer in custom for hearing protection, not just for comfort, 1944 01:49:57,520 --> 01:50:00,680 Speaker 1: but to achieve that perfect acoustic seal because any air 1945 01:50:00,760 --> 01:50:04,040 Speaker 1: leakage the sound waves can travel through. So to really 1946 01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:06,160 Speaker 1: protect you, I want you and custom ideally. But I 1947 01:50:06,240 --> 01:50:08,599 Speaker 1: also recognize that an entry price point of a couple 1948 01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:10,920 Speaker 1: of hundred bucks is not accessible to a lot of people. 1949 01:50:11,280 --> 01:50:13,400 Speaker 1: So one thing that I really took into account after 1950 01:50:13,479 --> 01:50:16,120 Speaker 1: meeting with you guys back here in March, I started 1951 01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:19,880 Speaker 1: really thinking, like, how do I create something that can 1952 01:50:19,880 --> 01:50:22,360 Speaker 1: be more accessible? You know, we said my job is 1953 01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:24,920 Speaker 1: to give you the most realistic tools that you'll actually wear. 1954 01:50:25,280 --> 01:50:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm not going to convince you to not shoot or hunt, 1955 01:50:27,200 --> 01:50:28,560 Speaker 1: nor do I want to, And you're not going to 1956 01:50:28,640 --> 01:50:32,679 Speaker 1: wear a full body armor to like have ideal hearing protection. 1957 01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:35,639 Speaker 1: So I started thinking, and I decided I can put 1958 01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:38,200 Speaker 1: these filters that are in this product I made for 1959 01:50:38,240 --> 01:50:40,800 Speaker 1: you where you can hear soft medium sounds great and 1960 01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:43,000 Speaker 1: then it blocks the blast of the gun. But those 1961 01:50:43,040 --> 01:50:46,080 Speaker 1: are out the door some odd bucks. I'm going to 1962 01:50:46,160 --> 01:50:48,400 Speaker 1: take that exact filter. This is going to be available 1963 01:50:48,600 --> 01:50:51,479 Speaker 1: beginning next month on my website, and I'm putting those 1964 01:50:51,479 --> 01:50:55,520 Speaker 1: into multiple size triple flange sleeves to make a universal 1965 01:50:55,600 --> 01:50:59,080 Speaker 1: fit version that's just fifty bucks, and then they're big. 1966 01:50:59,120 --> 01:51:02,519 Speaker 1: Plus they are upgradeable to custom later, so you could 1967 01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:04,719 Speaker 1: go to my website and you could order a custom 1968 01:51:04,760 --> 01:51:07,320 Speaker 1: fit sleeve later if you want to. If you want 1969 01:51:07,320 --> 01:51:09,880 Speaker 1: to save up, somebody get it. How do you get 1970 01:51:09,880 --> 01:51:13,840 Speaker 1: it molded? So I send that kit in the mail. No, no, 1971 01:51:14,080 --> 01:51:16,680 Speaker 1: because you can't do it yourself like I did it 1972 01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:19,280 Speaker 1: on you. So I've got this growing network right now, 1973 01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:21,599 Speaker 1: We're up to about a hundred and sixty providers across 1974 01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:23,800 Speaker 1: the country. And we're sourcing new clinics daily where I 1975 01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:26,240 Speaker 1: work with local audiologists to you down the street from 1976 01:51:26,240 --> 01:51:29,160 Speaker 1: wherever you live, and I talk with them, develop a 1977 01:51:29,200 --> 01:51:31,360 Speaker 1: relationship so that they know exactly how I want that 1978 01:51:31,400 --> 01:51:34,240 Speaker 1: molding process done, so we can communicate. You can check 1979 01:51:34,280 --> 01:51:35,920 Speaker 1: out on the website and then I send you the 1980 01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:38,800 Speaker 1: UPS label and facilitate that whole appointment locally for you 1981 01:51:38,800 --> 01:51:42,400 Speaker 1: to get your ears molden. One of the biggest reasons 1982 01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:47,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to get nice customs, which I now have 1983 01:51:47,479 --> 01:51:53,080 Speaker 1: owned for two hours. Um, I'm extremely lazy. I've gotten 1984 01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:55,439 Speaker 1: to the point where I'll go to the range and 1985 01:51:55,479 --> 01:52:01,639 Speaker 1: bring headphones, but I just won't do it. Maybe duck hunting. 1986 01:52:01,680 --> 01:52:04,360 Speaker 1: If I know it's gonna be a stellar day, I'll 1987 01:52:04,400 --> 01:52:06,320 Speaker 1: do it. But it still drives me nuts and I'll 1988 01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:09,920 Speaker 1: put headphones on. I've never found something that inspires me 1989 01:52:09,960 --> 01:52:14,400 Speaker 1: to do it. And my buddy Cal got some he 1990 01:52:14,439 --> 01:52:17,080 Speaker 1: said once he had him, and he's like, man, all 1991 01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:19,439 Speaker 1: that hassle, I'm definitely gonna wear him now like that 1992 01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:24,479 Speaker 1: like some pragmatics. Yeah, now he's now. Anytime you do 1993 01:52:24,560 --> 01:52:27,160 Speaker 1: anything with Cal, he's got those things hanging around his 1994 01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:29,479 Speaker 1: neck and he sticks him in and I just won't 1995 01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:36,599 Speaker 1: do it. And last year Garrett there did. He's got 1996 01:52:36,600 --> 01:52:38,920 Speaker 1: a little what's it called big, he had a big 1997 01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:42,799 Speaker 1: bastard bastard break on, that fat bastard break on shot 1998 01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:44,640 Speaker 1: three times. I kept thinking he was done shooting, and 1999 01:52:44,640 --> 01:52:48,679 Speaker 1: he kept shooting. Were like to I think I think 2000 01:52:48,680 --> 01:52:50,840 Speaker 1: it echoed off that pine tree. And I was sitting 2001 01:52:50,880 --> 01:52:52,920 Speaker 1: too close to you, and I didn't want to plug 2002 01:52:53,000 --> 01:52:55,360 Speaker 1: my ears because look at through my binocular. We both 2003 01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:57,880 Speaker 1: had our ear pro just sitting on our backpacks, you know, 2004 01:52:58,000 --> 01:52:59,760 Speaker 1: But it was typical thing. You're like, oh, we gotta 2005 01:52:59,760 --> 01:53:02,519 Speaker 1: move now, like we don't have time to put this in, 2006 01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:07,880 Speaker 1: and and you know, as I'm as, I'm like, I 2007 01:53:07,960 --> 01:53:11,160 Speaker 1: now consider myself your personal hearing coach. So you're here, 2008 01:53:11,160 --> 01:53:13,519 Speaker 1: we go. But as I'm as I'm talking to you guys, 2009 01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm really going to encourage you to try to wear 2010 01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:16,880 Speaker 1: these as much as you can, just to get used 2011 01:53:16,880 --> 01:53:18,360 Speaker 1: to them so that when you put them on and 2012 01:53:18,400 --> 01:53:20,080 Speaker 1: you're in the moment and you're in the hunt and 2013 01:53:20,080 --> 01:53:22,000 Speaker 1: you need to focus, I don't want you to have 2014 01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:23,680 Speaker 1: to remember in that moment, oh, I gotta put my 2015 01:53:23,680 --> 01:53:25,839 Speaker 1: ears in before I shoot because you're not going to remember. 2016 01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:29,639 Speaker 1: I'm committed to changing it because when I do, I've 2017 01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:33,280 Speaker 1: done two hearing tests. Each time I do a hearing test, 2018 01:53:33,640 --> 01:53:36,439 Speaker 1: the person conducting the hearing test says I'm a left 2019 01:53:36,479 --> 01:53:38,880 Speaker 1: handed shooter. I'll point out they say that in your 2020 01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:40,960 Speaker 1: right ear, which makes sense because that's the one tip 2021 01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:45,280 Speaker 1: towards the muzzle that I have hearing damage in my 2022 01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:48,400 Speaker 1: right ear. That is the type of hearing damage associated 2023 01:53:48,439 --> 01:53:52,799 Speaker 1: with like loud noises. So I know that I've whacked 2024 01:53:52,800 --> 01:53:55,800 Speaker 1: out my own ear. Yeah, absolutely, And I know that 2025 01:53:55,840 --> 01:54:00,840 Speaker 1: other people hear gobbles better than I do, a lot better. Well, 2026 01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:03,920 Speaker 1: I'll be to see, like you know, I'm I've thrown 2027 01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:06,400 Speaker 1: this this really high end technology at you guys to 2028 01:54:06,439 --> 01:54:09,120 Speaker 1: try as a starting point, but you might find that 2029 01:54:09,320 --> 01:54:11,519 Speaker 1: if you don't want to have to remember to charge something, 2030 01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:14,280 Speaker 1: then that's something we're gonna be talking about, like how 2031 01:54:14,320 --> 01:54:16,200 Speaker 1: these different features work for you, because I might need 2032 01:54:16,240 --> 01:54:18,880 Speaker 1: to swap it out for a simpler battery operated version, 2033 01:54:19,120 --> 01:54:21,679 Speaker 1: or you know, there's it's not a one size fits 2034 01:54:21,800 --> 01:54:23,880 Speaker 1: at Like you know, I don't want these listeners to 2035 01:54:23,920 --> 01:54:25,800 Speaker 1: be like, oh, I want whatever Chester has, or I 2036 01:54:25,840 --> 01:54:29,760 Speaker 1: want whatever Steve has because different people are gonna have 2037 01:54:29,800 --> 01:54:32,400 Speaker 1: different adoption rates for different technologies. I got an apology 2038 01:54:32,400 --> 01:54:35,320 Speaker 1: I gotta make to you. Okay, I want to mind 2039 01:54:35,400 --> 01:54:38,560 Speaker 1: read on the right. Do you remember this?

It's red right 2042 01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:51,320 Speaker 1: from the person looking at its stage right versus so 2043 01:54:51,720 --> 01:54:55,120 Speaker 1: your boat. If I'm the boat, the red is being 2044 01:54:55,160 --> 01:54:57,920 Speaker 1: my left and then you're looking at me and you 2045 01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:03,320 Speaker 1: think right. That's one of those situations where ignorance is bliss. Steve, 2046 01:55:03,520 --> 01:55:06,400 Speaker 1: just go with red right right. One of mine is 2047 01:55:06,440 --> 01:55:08,640 Speaker 1: red ones blue. I look, I'm like red right.

But 2092 01:57:21,000 --> 01:57:23,480 Speaker 1: you do that, you're wondering, like will I be able 2093 01:57:23,560 --> 01:57:25,560 Speaker 1: to grab the tip of it to pull it back? 2094 01:57:25,800 --> 01:57:31,000 Speaker 1: Will you will know? But in thou But the thing is, 2095 01:57:31,680 --> 01:57:33,280 Speaker 1: you got to be patient. You can't just let go 2096 01:57:33,400 --> 01:57:35,720 Speaker 1: real quick. You gotta hold it in that position to 2097 01:57:35,800 --> 01:57:39,040 Speaker 1: let it fully expand so that'll stay put. Because with 2098 01:57:39,080 --> 01:57:41,120 Speaker 1: those foamies, as you move your jaw around as you 2099 01:57:41,160 --> 01:57:43,160 Speaker 1: mount your gun, you're moving your head around it's gonna 2100 01:57:43,160 --> 01:57:45,600 Speaker 1: wiggle its way out. It's constantly kind of moving in there. 2101 01:57:45,920 --> 01:57:48,840 Speaker 1: It's amazing the difference when you do it right, that 2102 01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:52,560 Speaker 1: is how I used to do it. Yeah, yeah, well yeah, 2103 01:57:52,600 --> 01:57:53,880 Speaker 1: I always do it in the way that since I 2104 01:57:53,960 --> 01:57:57,080 Speaker 1: take one step, it's gone. The only the only problem 2105 01:57:57,080 --> 01:57:59,160 Speaker 1: with that is you do not have enough time to 2106 01:57:59,200 --> 01:58:02,560 Speaker 1: put those in in most applications in hunting, unless you're 2107 01:58:02,560 --> 01:58:05,440 Speaker 1: like duck hunting. You can like plan ahead, but you 2108 01:58:05,440 --> 01:58:08,600 Speaker 1: don't want to blow a duck call in solid ear plugs, right, 2109 01:58:08,720 --> 01:58:11,640 Speaker 1: I mean, Shawn like that you can't tell what's going on. Well, yeah, 2110 01:58:11,680 --> 01:58:12,920 Speaker 1: you want to be able to hear your duck call. 2111 01:58:13,320 --> 01:58:15,560 Speaker 1: And so even with these electronics where I get the 2112 01:58:15,640 --> 01:58:17,480 Speaker 1: I get the best response from my duck hunters with 2113 01:58:17,520 --> 01:58:19,920 Speaker 1: these electronics because they can still here. Because they can 2114 01:58:19,960 --> 01:58:22,440 Speaker 1: still here. But you still have to practice. Like some 2115 01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:25,120 Speaker 1: of my best duck calling clients have coached people to 2116 01:58:25,200 --> 01:58:28,520 Speaker 1: record themselves calling with and without the hearing protection in 2117 01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:30,680 Speaker 1: because we talked about this a little bit earlier. It's 2118 01:58:30,680 --> 01:58:33,200 Speaker 1: almost like a musical instrument. Um, I can play my 2119 01:58:33,240 --> 01:58:36,320 Speaker 1: eighth grade piano recital piece from just muscle memory, but 2120 01:58:36,400 --> 01:58:39,040 Speaker 1: if I'm learning a new song, it's auditory. You know, 2121 01:58:39,160 --> 01:58:41,120 Speaker 1: you're really paying attention to how it sounds. And with 2122 01:58:41,160 --> 01:58:43,360 Speaker 1: a lot of duck callers, it's a mix of those 2123 01:58:43,400 --> 01:58:45,640 Speaker 1: two things, and so you're you really need to get 2124 01:58:45,640 --> 01:58:49,080 Speaker 1: the muscle memory part down so that meanwhile you're still 2125 01:58:49,080 --> 01:58:51,080 Speaker 1: going to hear it through the ear plugs. It's not 2126 01:58:51,320 --> 01:58:54,160 Speaker 1: it's never going to sound the same. And that's a 2127 01:58:54,520 --> 01:58:56,840 Speaker 1: I mean, that's something that that was a way that 2128 01:58:56,960 --> 01:59:00,360 Speaker 1: I got to be, not just like a tall herbal 2129 01:59:00,840 --> 01:59:03,200 Speaker 1: or decent duck caller, but to get to be a 2130 01:59:03,280 --> 01:59:06,520 Speaker 1: real advanced duck caller is to record yourself and hear 2131 01:59:06,640 --> 01:59:09,800 Speaker 1: yourself from a different perspective, because it's never the same 2132 01:59:10,280 --> 01:59:12,280 Speaker 1: as how it sounds right here. The same thing with 2133 01:59:12,360 --> 01:59:16,360 Speaker 1: playing music. Yeah, yeah, you gotta record yourself into it back. 2134 01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:18,240 Speaker 1: And by the way, duck calls can get up to 2135 01:59:18,760 --> 01:59:22,400 Speaker 1: twenty decibles. So when you talk about you can damage 2136 01:59:22,400 --> 01:59:24,760 Speaker 1: your ears blown a duck call, absolutely sure I have. 2137 01:59:25,440 --> 01:59:28,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I think duck duck hunters are some of 2138 01:59:28,360 --> 01:59:30,640 Speaker 1: the most at risk because you are you're down in 2139 01:59:30,680 --> 01:59:33,280 Speaker 1: those sometimes like a metal pit blind you're blowing duck 2140 01:59:33,280 --> 01:59:35,640 Speaker 1: calls and then you're shooting a lot and somebody's all 2141 01:59:35,640 --> 01:59:39,520 Speaker 1: of a sudden shooting over your head close to somebody. Yeah, 2142 01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:44,800 Speaker 1: tell us how bad my hearing is and how good 2143 01:59:44,840 --> 01:59:49,480 Speaker 1: sets hearing? All right, you're hearing. We did a quick 2144 01:59:49,520 --> 01:59:51,680 Speaker 1: test before the podcast started. I'm not going to say 2145 01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:55,960 Speaker 1: I was surprised by your hearing test results though, honestly, 2146 01:59:56,480 --> 01:59:59,880 Speaker 1: I mean you've you've got a forty four year old 2147 02:00:01,200 --> 02:00:04,839 Speaker 1: that's done some shooting, some construction. All right, I'll show everyone. 2148 02:00:05,680 --> 02:00:11,320 Speaker 1: All right, this is honest is hearing tests. Uh, we're 2149 02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:13,600 Speaker 1: just going to assume that you've signed all the Hippo 2150 02:00:13,680 --> 02:00:18,200 Speaker 1: releases and I can talk about your medical hearing on 2151 02:00:18,240 --> 02:00:21,200 Speaker 1: the on the podcast, But you want everything to be 2152 02:00:21,280 --> 02:00:25,200 Speaker 1: above that black horizontal line you see there. And this 2153 02:00:25,200 --> 02:00:28,040 Speaker 1: this is this is an audiogram. It's arranged from left 2154 02:00:28,040 --> 02:00:31,160 Speaker 1: to right based to trouble like a piano keyboard. Top 2155 02:00:31,160 --> 02:00:33,120 Speaker 1: of the graph is really soft sounds, and then it 2156 02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:35,400 Speaker 1: gets louder and louder as you move down the graph. 2157 02:00:35,760 --> 02:00:38,600 Speaker 1: So these are your hearing thresholds. The softest sounds that 2158 02:00:38,600 --> 02:00:41,400 Speaker 1: you could detect were present. And so you can see 2159 02:00:41,400 --> 02:00:43,840 Speaker 1: in your left ear, which is blue in some of 2160 02:00:43,840 --> 02:00:47,560 Speaker 1: these higher pitches down his shooting ear is way down 2161 02:00:48,480 --> 02:00:51,080 Speaker 1: and the high yeah, and we would call this a 2162 02:00:51,160 --> 02:00:55,680 Speaker 1: noise notch from shooting, where like the those are the 2163 02:00:55,680 --> 02:00:57,880 Speaker 1: hair cells that we talked about earlier that have been 2164 02:00:57,880 --> 02:01:03,520 Speaker 1: the most damaged, and you've got some that's so wrong 2165 02:01:03,560 --> 02:01:06,640 Speaker 1: you might have to edit that out. That was so wrong. Um, 2166 02:01:06,760 --> 02:01:09,680 Speaker 1: you don't even try to be politically interesting. Goes back 2167 02:01:09,720 --> 02:01:13,280 Speaker 1: up like that's the that's the notch components. So a 2168 02:01:13,320 --> 02:01:15,760 Speaker 1: lot of times with with a with a blast, or 2169 02:01:15,840 --> 02:01:18,320 Speaker 1: like if a musician has like a big feedback exposure, 2170 02:01:18,480 --> 02:01:22,080 Speaker 1: it'll present as a notch where yeah, yeah, and you'll 2171 02:01:22,080 --> 02:01:25,920 Speaker 1: see a little bit of the left one is worse 2172 02:01:25,960 --> 02:01:28,800 Speaker 1: than the right. The left is worse, just barely breaks 2173 02:01:28,840 --> 02:01:30,280 Speaker 1: the lines. That should be a way where you can 2174 02:01:30,400 --> 02:01:33,400 Speaker 1: prove how much shooting you do. All right, this is seth. 2175 02:01:34,920 --> 02:01:38,480 Speaker 1: Look at that word he hears those gobbles beautiful dares 2176 02:01:38,520 --> 02:01:40,680 Speaker 1: where I hear the gobbles Where that one goes up 2177 02:01:44,120 --> 02:01:46,360 Speaker 1: like you wouldn't believe. I mean, he has excellent hearing 2178 02:01:46,560 --> 02:01:48,760 Speaker 1: and he's that jumpy, so he doesn't do false alarms. 2179 02:01:49,560 --> 02:01:56,040 Speaker 1: Is he younger than everybody? Let me ester, can you 2180 02:01:56,160 --> 02:01:58,160 Speaker 1: will you be able to send us those pictures? I 2181 02:01:58,200 --> 02:02:00,920 Speaker 1: can send them to you for sure, Chester, you're doing 2182 02:02:00,960 --> 02:02:04,520 Speaker 1: pretty good too. Everything's above the line. Left and right 2183 02:02:04,520 --> 02:02:06,760 Speaker 1: here are about the same. You can hear a wallet. 2184 02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:09,360 Speaker 1: Was I the closest to set? I think I was 2185 02:02:09,400 --> 02:02:16,520 Speaker 1: probably Sean, you're good too, I mean, you're look at that. 2186 02:02:18,480 --> 02:02:20,920 Speaker 1: I was really surprised by here. He is always acting 2187 02:02:20,960 --> 02:02:23,560 Speaker 1: like he hunts a lot of ducks. But the figures, 2188 02:02:24,880 --> 02:02:28,920 Speaker 1: did he honest go lower than I did? Then Garrett's 2189 02:02:28,920 --> 02:02:30,920 Speaker 1: got a bad shooting. Do let me see here? Hold 2190 02:02:30,960 --> 02:02:35,560 Speaker 1: on a sec Scarrett, Oh, yours is pretty bad. There's 2191 02:02:35,600 --> 02:02:44,680 Speaker 1: Garrett left here left ear down that body. That's a 2192 02:02:44,720 --> 02:02:47,640 Speaker 1: three gun shooter for you. Yeah, that's a that's that's 2193 02:02:47,680 --> 02:02:50,280 Speaker 1: like an AD. Yeah, that's an AD for muzzle brakes. Man. 2194 02:02:50,600 --> 02:02:52,840 Speaker 1: You're right here still looks really good, and you just 2195 02:02:52,880 --> 02:02:55,160 Speaker 1: want to make sure you protect what you've got, you know, 2196 02:02:55,320 --> 02:02:58,360 Speaker 1: like you can you can hold this steady if you 2197 02:02:58,400 --> 02:03:01,480 Speaker 1: can be really intentional out. But that shouldn't be only 2198 02:03:01,640 --> 02:03:04,320 Speaker 1: directed at Garrett and I just because we're already at 2199 02:03:04,320 --> 02:03:08,760 Speaker 1: a sad pointing. Those that have great hearing should be 2200 02:03:08,840 --> 02:03:13,839 Speaker 1: even more. We're all about, like I want to prevent 2201 02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:16,040 Speaker 1: and delay the problems that I spent so many years 2202 02:03:16,080 --> 02:03:19,400 Speaker 1: treating clinically because it is so preventable, and so much 2203 02:03:19,440 --> 02:03:22,000 Speaker 1: of the medical communities, like OH treat early with hearing aids. 2204 02:03:22,040 --> 02:03:24,560 Speaker 1: Hearing aids earlier. Well, I mean, the hearing aid industry 2205 02:03:24,640 --> 02:03:26,880 Speaker 1: is what it is. I say, move away, get out 2206 02:03:26,880 --> 02:03:29,280 Speaker 1: from under the dollar signs of the hearing it industry. 2207 02:03:29,400 --> 02:03:32,120 Speaker 1: If we want to be the hearing healthcare experts, we 2208 02:03:32,160 --> 02:03:33,760 Speaker 1: got to go to where people are, get out in 2209 02:03:33,760 --> 02:03:36,920 Speaker 1: front of the problem, start the relationship with an audiologist 2210 02:03:36,920 --> 02:03:41,120 Speaker 1: and a hearing care professional before the problem starts. As 2211 02:03:41,160 --> 02:03:44,200 Speaker 1: I was saying, where is your graph? Here's the thing. 2212 02:03:44,280 --> 02:03:46,000 Speaker 1: Did you want to finish the test? He did? I 2213 02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:49,360 Speaker 1: think he cheated. I think he cheated the system. This 2214 02:03:49,360 --> 02:03:52,560 Speaker 1: this this because I did better on that than I 2215 02:03:52,560 --> 02:03:55,080 Speaker 1: did on my other two hearing tests, which your other 2216 02:03:55,080 --> 02:03:57,480 Speaker 1: two hearing tests. It sounds like we're in the legit 2217 02:03:57,520 --> 02:04:00,879 Speaker 1: sound booth, the full diagnostic hearing test. And they were alarmed. 2218 02:04:01,120 --> 02:04:03,880 Speaker 1: They were just saying, you have some What I brought you, guys, 2219 02:04:04,080 --> 02:04:06,800 Speaker 1: is a hearing screening tool that's built into a headset. 2220 02:04:07,280 --> 02:04:09,800 Speaker 1: And while it does a very good job and I've 2221 02:04:09,800 --> 02:04:13,520 Speaker 1: seen some good consistent results, it's not as as definitive 2222 02:04:13,520 --> 02:04:17,000 Speaker 1: as what's going to be in a sound booth. Just 2223 02:04:17,240 --> 02:04:20,880 Speaker 1: as you say you can't trust a skinny chef, I 2224 02:04:20,920 --> 02:04:23,879 Speaker 1: don't think you could trust like someone in the hunting 2225 02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:27,760 Speaker 1: industry and it doesn't have some hearing laws. Ah, I'll 2226 02:04:27,800 --> 02:04:31,360 Speaker 1: leave it at that. You're very then you're very trustworthy. 2227 02:04:32,800 --> 02:04:35,560 Speaker 1: As I was saying, you're never going to invite me back, 2228 02:04:35,560 --> 02:04:38,680 Speaker 1: because no, no, no, you come back the minute you 2229 02:04:38,720 --> 02:04:41,320 Speaker 1: make the turkey gobbl thing.
