WEBVTT - Ep. 116: BEAR GREASE [RENDER] - Squirrel Cook Off and Crockett Quiz

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>My name is Clay Nukleman.

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 2>This is a production of the bear Grease podcast called

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:23.759
<v Speaker 2>the Bear Grease Render, where we render down, dive deeper,

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 2>and look behind the scenes of the actual bear Grease podcast,

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 2>presented by f h F Gear, American Maid, purpose built

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:37.599
<v Speaker 2>hunting and fishing gear that's designed to be as rugged

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 2>as the place.

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:44.280
<v Speaker 3>As we explore, that is a heck of a lineup

0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 3>of coonskin hat.

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Today.

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 2>Last render that we talked about, Crockett, I had everybody

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 2>wear a coonskin hat. Would anybody like to wear a

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 2>coonskin hat?

0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 4>I was actually going to bring my own. Oh yeah,

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 4>but I didn't, you know, I didn't know the quality

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 4>of y'all's hats.

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh well, mediocre at mediocre at this.

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 4>I just I didn't want to be outmatched on coonskin.

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Yes, the guy who made those coonskin hats could not

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 3>be trusted. So I hear, I hear rumored that he's

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 3>got four more that he's been making for about six months.

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna do something with these hats at some point.

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>And hey, speaking of coon hides. Last night, two nights ago,

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>I had two dogs. I had so I have a

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 2>squirrel dog. That runs loose all the time. Tim he

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:40.399
<v Speaker 2>is the most responsive dog to human mind, will and

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 2>emotion that.

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 1>I've ever been around.

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Like you can be like thinking something and kind of

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 2>glance over to it, and he'll be like, oh, we're

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:52.639
<v Speaker 2>talking about that. Like he's just he's hyperune. He's hyper

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 2>in tune, like ridiculously intune. So he runs around and

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 2>he's normal. My my really good squirrel dog is so good.

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I can't let her run loose because she'll just hunt

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>herself to death or end up, you know, running off.

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 5>She gets treated on things for hours at a time

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 5>every time she's off.

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 2>So a few days ago I turned her loose just

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>to let her run. In the summer, I just let

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 2>her run. And I like to keep my neighbors in check.

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 2>I like for dogs to just be treed for hours,

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>just like close to the house, just to let people

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>know that this is not suburbia.

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 6>Just when they when you think they're gonna start showing up.

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 2>To right when they think they're gonna start paving the

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>road and putting in nice four hundred thousand dollars houses

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 2>and stuff. I want people to come down here and

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 2>try to buy land, to be like man there's some hillbilly.

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:39.519
<v Speaker 4>Have you ever had one of your dog's tree to

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 4>squirrel down here at the marina, like two hundred yards

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 4>down the road to see, yes, where the sailboat is.

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that's why we like to keep this place

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.679
<v Speaker 2>I've got. We've got some boats on our road far

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 2>far from any river systems or lakes.

0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.360
<v Speaker 4>R that's when you know you're living right.

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.679
<v Speaker 2>So I had Tests running loose, and she's my good

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>squirrel dog, and about thirty minutes before dark, two nights ago,

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I hear both of them just on a hot track

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 2>and get treed, and they're up here in what I

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>call the possum funnel I've got on this land that

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 2>I've got here, which isn't a big piece of land.

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Those dogs tree possums in like one spot and there's

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 2>no rhyme or reason.

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 1>There's no big den trees.

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.359
<v Speaker 2>But if they get treed and it's on a possum,

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>which they treat a lot of possums, they'll tree within

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 2>a fifty yard radius. I don't understand why they always

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 2>treat there. But Tim was treed hard. Tests was right there.

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was just beautiful tree and I was

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>busy and just didn't even bother with them at least

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>an hour and a half, and I'm being conservative, it

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>was probably closer to two hour. I mean it was

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 2>when I wanted to go to bed at like closer

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 2>to eleven. They were treated hard, continue to be treated

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>heart out there, and I was going to bed, and

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>I told Bear John my Son, I said, how about

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 2>you go feed those dogs and go shoot that possum

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 2>out of the tree that they got treed. And he said, Dad,

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not interested in shoot. And so I went out

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 2>to my truck and got my deet because man, if

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 2>you walk in these woods right now, you will be

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 2>covered in ticks, yep and chiggers. And so I went

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 2>out to the truck and sprayed down with deep This

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.280
<v Speaker 2>is like right before I'm going to bed, and I

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 2>just am trying to retrieve my dogs. Take my twenty

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>two because right now in Arkansas it's war on varmints, yep,

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 2>trying to save turkey poles and chickens.

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 1>Now we've had a serious.

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Predation to spring on our trees. And I go out

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 2>there and Tim and Tress are just treed hard, and

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Tim is extra pumped, and I shine up in this

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 2>incredibly bushy tree. I didn't think I was going to

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 2>see it, Brent, And sure enough there's a coon there,

0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 2>which is the first time they treat a coon TI

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.720
<v Speaker 2>squirrel dog. He is, he should be Tim the possum dog.

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 2>He loves possums more than anything. You can hear it

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 2>in his voice when he trees.

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 1>The possums.

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Squirrels are a distant second, pack rats are third, and

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:19.279
<v Speaker 2>number four is a coon. And anyway, speaking of coonskin hats,

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 2>and I shot that coon out.

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think there's another angle to this story. We're

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 5>sitting inside and Bear really wants to start a business,

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 5>and he and I are talking official business. We're talking

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 5>about paperwork and what taxes would look like and all

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 5>this kind of stuff, and we're having this real, in

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 5>depth conversation. We're on computers, googling on the couch and

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.840
<v Speaker 5>Clay walks in with a coon in his hands, a

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 5>dead coon in the dogs, and we look up and

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 5>I don't even I don't even pause. It's like, ye,

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 5>Clay's got a coon in the house again. It took

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 5>me a couple of take before I realized, Shoot, you've

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 5>got a live coon in our house.

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 7>Are dead. It was dead by those dead and the dogs.

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 5>He wanted to get a picture with him and the

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 5>dogs just ridiculous.

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 7>You could tell they're pre pumped up.

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 8>Here's something I'm taking from this. I don't I don't

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:12.359
<v Speaker 8>know if y'all anybody else here. When he first he

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 8>said bear John, go out there and kill that kill

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 8>that possum.

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 6>He says, I have no interest in it. Had he

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 6>told me that and I was talking to my mom

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:22.720
<v Speaker 6>about accounting, I.

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:26.479
<v Speaker 8>Would like to say him went through the wall.

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Not Baron newkem Man, that guy.

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:29.919
<v Speaker 6>So I'm telling you this.

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 3>He put hard sell on me this week for some

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 3>stuff too. So I mean he's he's business in it

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 3>to win it right now.

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 6>That's that's good stuff right there. Man.

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So we have a we have a We've got

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.359
<v Speaker 2>some regulars on the podcast, but we have Joe is

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 2>not really an irregular.

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Joe's been.

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:52.920
<v Speaker 3>To be determined.

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Is I've known Joe for many years?

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sir, And Joe was on the Bear Hunting Magazine

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 2>pop podcast way back o g Yeah and uh and

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Joe was on the Arkansas Image podcast that I did.

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 2>If you remember when I went to the Walton the

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 2>old Walton five and dime and then we went into

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 2>the Walmart Museum with the hologram. Joe was kind of

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 2>my guide there. So you've heard Joe's voice if you're

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 2>paying attention.

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 7>He's been on the Bease more than Josh has.

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 8>I was just going to say he was on the

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 8>original Bear Grease and you never were, were.

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>You, Josh?

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 3>I've never been on Bear Grease. I was on the

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Bear Hunting Magazine podcast mainly because it'd be like, I

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 3>don't have any other content spillmaker.

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Here, Joe, how do you how do you introduce yourself

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 2>to people? If you if you have the open mic?

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 4>Well, if I had an open mic, I'd introduced myself

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 4>as a father of two, a husband of one. I've

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 4>got two dogs right now. It's driving me crazy. I

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 4>just got a new puppy a week ago, so I'm

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm the little bloodshot in the eye. But what was

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 4>the saying that Dave Crockett said?

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>He said that he about an accident.

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 4>No about his Yeah, about the accident.

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, he just said that his fame came on him

0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 2>completely by accident.

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 4>And so my fame has come on me completely by accident. So, uh,

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 4>you know McLay knows this story, and I doubt the

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 4>listeners do. But I throw the World Champion Squirrel Cookoff

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 4>here in northwest Arkansas, and it come to me straight

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 4>up by accident.

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Hey, we got it, Okay, listeners out there, he just

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 2>dropped the bomb. Joe is the founder of the one

<v Speaker 1>Tell me tell me that.

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:52.560
<v Speaker 4>So I was working in downtown Bentonville, and uh, for

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.200
<v Speaker 4>the listeners who aren't aware of what that could be like,

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 4>it's it's kind of like a Norman Rockwell painting. It's uh,

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 4>brick buildings, old buildings. It's where the retail giant started

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 4>of Walmart. And I become sociable with a lot of

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.520
<v Speaker 4>people walking by, and the lady who's in charge of

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 4>downtown Bentonville cornered me one day and she said that

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:19.079
<v Speaker 4>Andrew Zimmern from Bizarre Foods had contacted them and they

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 4>wanted to do the Ozark condition. And I was the

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 4>guy that they wanted me to fix this deal. And

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 4>so this is a week after our football coach Bobby

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 4>or Bobby Patrina. Bobby Patrina had had a little accident.

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 6>Heard around the world exactly.

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:44.319
<v Speaker 4>He had had a little accident, and so they do.

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 4>So they started questioning me on things they wanted to see.

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 4>And they wanted to see a rabbit hunt and I

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 4>said I can do that. And they wanted to do

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.200
<v Speaker 4>a bear hunt, and I said, I know some people

0:09:56.240 --> 0:10:00.079
<v Speaker 4>and Clay was part of that. And uh wanted a

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 4>gig for suckers in the river. I said, I got

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 4>that covered, and they said, we want to do a

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:11.079
<v Speaker 4>crow hunt because our research shows that people in Arkansas

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:18.960
<v Speaker 4>eat crow. Now, now, mind you, this is a week

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 4>after our football coach had had some sort of accident.

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.840
<v Speaker 4>And I said, ma'am, you're mistaken. I said, we really

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 4>don't eat a lot of crow. Matter of fact, we

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 4>don't eat any And she said, no, sir, our research

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 4>says that people in Arkansas eat crow. And I said, well,

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.080
<v Speaker 4>I've cooked crow before and we ate it. But we'd

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 4>been drinking and people said that it tasted pretty good,

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 4>so we could cook crow. And they said, what about squirrel.

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.319
<v Speaker 4>Do you do squirrel? Oh yes, ma'am, I said, matter

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 4>of fact, we cook the world champion squirrel. And she says,

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.439
<v Speaker 4>how do you know, And I said, because we throw

0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 4>the World championship. She said when is it? I said,

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:04.160
<v Speaker 4>when y'all coming? He didn't.

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:07.439
<v Speaker 1>Is that when it started?

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Yeah, she said like August eleventh, And I said

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 4>you know what and she said, no kidding. I said, yeah,

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 4>that's when it is. And so as soon as I

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.200
<v Speaker 4>got off the phone, I started scrambling.

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>And what was the date? Approximately?

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 4>It was in August of two thousand.

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, that she was called in August she called, Oh,

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 2>she called, it's probably June.

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a couple of months.

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:37.680
<v Speaker 6>I still hadn't no time, man.

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.600
<v Speaker 4>So I scrambled, got on the phone and I called people,

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:44.480
<v Speaker 4>and I had teams from seven states show up, and

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 4>we had twenty fourteens. And at that time I thought

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.600
<v Speaker 4>to have a judge at a squirrel cookoff, they needed

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 4>to be certified by like the governor. So I had

0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 4>a district judge judge. I had real judges, so that

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.120
<v Speaker 4>way I knew it was fair. And uh. Plus, I

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 4>had a fat used car salesman because I have that

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 4>man d squirrel. And I had a James Beard Award

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 4>winning chef. And so the first year we did the

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 4>squirrel cookoff, we had as random of things as you

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 4>could imagine, you know. We of course we had fried

0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 4>squirrel and we had gumbo and some gravy. But that's

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 4>when we started having the squirrel pizza and the squirrel

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.320
<v Speaker 4>fried rice and things like that. So that show aired,

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.439
<v Speaker 4>I want to say, in one hundred and twenty countries

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 4>across the world and.

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre food That would have been twenty fourteen.

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:45.079
<v Speaker 4>Uh no, it was. It was twenty ten, Was it really? Yeah,

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 4>yeah it was twenty ten. Yeah, because you were on it. Yeah, yeah, crack.

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 2>It was Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods. And uh, let me

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.319
<v Speaker 2>tell my let me tell my side of that one.

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Just real quick. I had it.

0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 2>I had those people called me andrews Zimmerns p will

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:04.079
<v Speaker 2>call me, and it's just I don't have any exposure

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 2>to media at all during that time, and they say, hey,

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 2>we want to do a show I'd never heard of.

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.319
<v Speaker 2>We didn't watch TV, I didn't have I never heard

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 2>of Andrew Zimmern. And this person says, we want to

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 2>come to Arkansas and we would like for you to kill.

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:17.560
<v Speaker 1>A bear on October first.

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:19.559
<v Speaker 6>Okay.

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>I was like, now, what do you mean you need it?

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 2>On October first, and she's like, well, that's when my

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:26.680
<v Speaker 2>crew will be in Arkansas and we need you to

0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.079
<v Speaker 2>kill a bear. And I was like, ma'am, I can't

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.840
<v Speaker 2>guarantee that we can have a bear that day, but

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I remember very vividly what I said to him. I said,

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.320
<v Speaker 2>now tell me about this Andrew Zimmern in this show.

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I said, because if you're looking for a bunch of

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 2>hillbillies to make fun of, you got the wrong guy.

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Like I was like, I came in pretty hard. I

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:47.720
<v Speaker 2>was super suspicious.

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 1>And then the woman was like, oh no, no, no,

0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Andrew is so respectful of people's culture.

0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 2>And then as I did, like I watched the show,

0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, this guy's oh cool.

0:13:57.920 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so that that was well.

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.080
<v Speaker 2>And then the short version of our bear hunt was

0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 2>I just sent out like an APB to all my

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 2>buddies and I said, hey, if you kill a bear

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 2>on October first, call me, because that was close to

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.079
<v Speaker 2>the opening day of season, maybe even the opening day

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 2>of season. And one of my good buddies, Trey Clark,

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 2>killed a bear on October first, and I called andrews

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Zimmern's people, and they like made a bee line from

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 2>northwest Arkansas down to where we were hunting, big huge

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 2>film crews and they filmed us do everything in the world.

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 2>We made bear crack onside of that bear. But this

0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 2>goes on the same show that the World Championship Squirrel

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Cookoff is on.

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know another part of that is when it

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.840
<v Speaker 4>come down to the crow part, I had to fill

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 4>this slot. And so I was friends with Phillips Spears,

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 4>and Phillis Spears did Arkansas outdoors, cooking in the Dutch oven. Yeah,

0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 4>she'd cooked everything with a face, you know. And so

0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 4>I called Phyllis and I at Phyllis, I'm in a bind.

0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 4>I got I got to do some crow hunting and

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.640
<v Speaker 4>had to cook a crow. And being the sweetheart that

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 4>she is, she says, Honey, do I need to bring

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:14.920
<v Speaker 4>my own crow? And I said it probably wanted her Phillis.

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 4>So we go right down the road from us, and

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 4>we shot crows. We really never hunted crows. We shot some,

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, And so we get out there and we

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 4>got a crow call, and we're calling and calling and

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 4>that spy crow comes.

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's really good at a crow called Scout.

0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, who I've heard is really good at a crow,

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 3>calls Steve, he's an ace.

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.480
<v Speaker 4>I want to do more crow hunting. But so that

0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 4>old scout comes flying over and one of my guys

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.080
<v Speaker 4>is a little loose, and so he started letting it

0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 4>fly at the scout. So that meant there's no more crows.

0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 4>So that producer, I bet you remember him, is uh real, slimy, greasy, long,

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 4>long black, kind of smoking a big cigar.

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:01.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 4>Man, he filmed comb Over the movie. He traveled the

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.400
<v Speaker 4>country looking for the comb over capital of the world.

0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 4>Actually interviewed Donald Trump long before he was president. So

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 4>he says, what do we got to do to get

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 4>these crows? I said, man, we got to load up

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 4>and go to the store. So we went to the

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:30.000
<v Speaker 4>largest outdoor provider down in Rogers and walked in there

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 4>with three shopping carts and we bought bull blinds. We

0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 4>bought electric collars, a fishing pole just in case we

0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 4>needed it, all new camouflage, and some camping gear because

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 4>they were fitting the bill, plus some decoys. And we

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.080
<v Speaker 4>showed up and could not get a crow. But Phillis

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:51.880
<v Speaker 4>had a stunt crow in the back of the truck,

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 4>and we launched that thing up and filmed some good

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.760
<v Speaker 4>b roll a couple times and.

0:16:58.280 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 1>What do you means shut a stunt crow?

0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:05.640
<v Speaker 4>She brought three processed crows and three fully feathered crows

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.000
<v Speaker 4>in the back of her big dodge drug like not

0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:11.639
<v Speaker 4>a lot. No, no, it didn't know that it was

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:16.399
<v Speaker 4>part of the show. Okay, okay, but uh so, phillis Hollywood.

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.919
<v Speaker 4>Phillis made for the listeners who've never ate crow. I

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.680
<v Speaker 4>want to turn your nose to it because a crow,

0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 4>their legs are the lighter color meat and their breast

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.639
<v Speaker 4>is the dark color meat. And I don't know what

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.880
<v Speaker 4>a Kansas crow or South Dakota crow is, but an

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 4>Ozark crow eats a lot of dead armadillas on the

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.439
<v Speaker 4>side of the road, right yeah. And she made a

0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 4>shepherd's pie, and then she made these little cuts of

0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:50.040
<v Speaker 4>crow breast which she had marinated, and they tasted more

0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 4>like beef than beef does. Now, I've ate pretty near

0:17:55.359 --> 0:18:00.080
<v Speaker 4>any animal I've ever seen, and I enjoy it. But

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:07.920
<v Speaker 4>my nemesis would be sweet potatoes. I can't stomach them all.

0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:08.479
<v Speaker 1>Kind of stuff.

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.239
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't stomach a sweet potato. And she made that

0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:14.359
<v Speaker 4>shepherd's pie and I had to dig through the sweet

0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:18.480
<v Speaker 4>potatoes to get to that crow meat, but to put

0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.119
<v Speaker 4>icing on top of this cake. Here, crow meat is

0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:25.040
<v Speaker 4>worth to eat. It's it's good stuff. So that show

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:28.359
<v Speaker 4>aired in one hundred and twenty countries, and just like

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 4>your son, I thought I could make a dollar off

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:32.640
<v Speaker 4>this deal. So I decided I was going to sell

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.960
<v Speaker 4>Squirrel Cookoff T shirts and they were twenty bucks apiece,

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.320
<v Speaker 4>and come to find out, the shipping to Australia's more

0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 4>than twenty bucks. So I lost at that deal.

0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:44.880
<v Speaker 1>A lot of overseas orders.

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.919
<v Speaker 4>Well, typically the orders would come in about two o'clock

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.080
<v Speaker 4>in the morning and they were always for four xes.

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:52.840
<v Speaker 4>I think when that show aired in the middle of

0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:57.919
<v Speaker 4>the night, there was some chubby guy eating Cheetos. He

0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.240
<v Speaker 4>was wanting a T shirt. So, since it was so famous,

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:02.960
<v Speaker 4>the next year we got the front page of the

0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:07.439
<v Speaker 4>Wall Street Journal, and the Wall Street Journal come to Bentonville.

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:11.640
<v Speaker 4>The mayor wasn't happy. He thought he thought the Wall

0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 4>Street Journal was going to run us through the mud.

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:15.680
<v Speaker 4>He said they were in the East Coast bias deal

0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 4>and they were going to put that h'll billy element

0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 4>on the deal. And I asked the mayor who he

0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:25.040
<v Speaker 4>was most scared of was it the Wall Street Journal

0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.760
<v Speaker 4>or me? And he said, you just don't want them here.

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:31.159
<v Speaker 4>He said, they've spent a lot of money making this

0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 4>town what it is, and we don't need that reputation.

0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 4>And I told him the last time that the Wall

0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:39.359
<v Speaker 4>Street Journal had come to our town, there was a

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:43.040
<v Speaker 4>guy named Sam Walton who received the Medal of Freedom

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.560
<v Speaker 4>from a guy named George Bush, who had a son

0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:50.359
<v Speaker 4>named George Bush. And if it took a redneck and

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.200
<v Speaker 4>squirrels to get us back on the front page of

0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 4>the Wall Street Journal, somebody wasn't doing their job. And

0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.960
<v Speaker 4>so we carried it on man. And we've we've done

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 4>it for a reason that's more than humor. We've we

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.720
<v Speaker 4>wanted to show the world that we could take smallest

0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 4>a game and turn it into the biggest of meals

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 4>and some of the things. Clay, you've been there a

0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:17.639
<v Speaker 4>couple times. The biggest thing to me has been to

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:21.480
<v Speaker 4>send the diversity of human beings that will show up

0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 4>to cook squirrel. Everybody thinks it's guys like us. Now

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 4>there's hippies, there's five Star chefs, there's old people and

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:36.320
<v Speaker 4>kids and people of every color and crete all show

0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:39.879
<v Speaker 4>up to cook squirrel and and sometimes the people that

0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.000
<v Speaker 4>do the best are the people who have never even

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 4>cooked a squirrel before. And so that's been the highlight

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:49.919
<v Speaker 4>of the thing, first and foremost, getting people back outdoors

0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 4>to hunt small game. That's how we learned the old

0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 4>am small miss small thing takes place in the woods

0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:01.399
<v Speaker 4>chasing squirrels and rabbits, and over the years we've put

0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:04.479
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people back in the woods. We may

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 4>have caused some lime disease because it is a tigger

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:13.679
<v Speaker 4>and tick prone prone sport, but we've had a lot

0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:14.520
<v Speaker 4>of good times, man.

0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 2>And so it's been going on now for fourteen years

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 2>minus COVID.

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we missed two years of COVID and one year

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:26.439
<v Speaker 4>from me being lazy, and but we're coming back and

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:30.880

<v Speaker 4>take the hind quarters of the squirrel and bread them

0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:09.479
<v Speaker 4>up deep fry and then we pour molten lava of

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:12.640
<v Speaker 4>some Carolina reaper and whatever else somebody grew in their

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:19.280
<v Speaker 4>guard set. Yeah, and uh, that's a hilarious event to

0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:22.159
<v Speaker 4>sit there and watch. So we'll have live music.

0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:26.159
<v Speaker 2>Let me describe and you can fill it in. But

0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:28.720
<v Speaker 2>like when I've been there before, it wasn't at this venue.

0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:32.159
<v Speaker 2>But if you have a team, which you could, anybody

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:34.800
<v Speaker 2>could have a team, you bet so, So if you're

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:38.159
<v Speaker 2>from wherever you're from, how do they how would they register?

0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:42.639
<v Speaker 4>So about the time this show airs on our Facebook

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:45.359
<v Speaker 4>page World champions Squirrel Cookoff Facebook page, there will be

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 4>the registry information and we are going to limit it

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:51.639
<v Speaker 4>to forty teams. Real well, it's tortuous to our to

0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:55.200
<v Speaker 4>our judges and forty because.

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:59.640
<v Speaker 1>So only forty teams can compete only forty sure they vetted?

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Are they vetted? Or is just like first come.

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:04.439
<v Speaker 4>First come, first serving? And Misty, I know you're a

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:06.159
<v Speaker 4>heck of a cook, right you.

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:06.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:11.160
<v Speaker 4>I ad some slight average, some strawberry kicks you move,

0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:13.879
<v Speaker 4>and if you added a little squirrel to that, you

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:18.120
<v Speaker 4>might have a fighting chance of winning a squirrel Currently,

0:26:18.160 --> 0:26:19.960
<v Speaker 4>how many world championships do you hold?

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:22.119
<v Speaker 7>You know, I don't think I hold a world championship

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:22.600
<v Speaker 7>in anything.

0:26:22.680 --> 0:26:27.040
<v Speaker 4>There would be nothing prouder that'd make a Humble Clay

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 4>if he was to introduce as So, our event is

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:34.879
<v Speaker 4>set up to where you got to do a entree

0:26:34.920 --> 0:26:37.919
<v Speaker 4>and a side dish. Okay, and eighty percent of the

0:26:37.920 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 4>meat used inside of your squirrel entree has to be squirrel.

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:47.040
<v Speaker 4>So that's not eighty percent of your overall dish, that's

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:48.240
<v Speaker 4>eighty percent of the week.

0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:50.600
<v Speaker 7>Did you say that loud?

0:26:54.840 --> 0:26:55.040
<v Speaker 6>Here?

0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:55.359
<v Speaker 3>We go.

0:26:55.760 --> 0:26:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Hey, the dishes that they have will blow your mind.

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 4>Squirrel jello, I mean, oh with grapes in it.

0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:07.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, I was.

0:27:07.560 --> 0:27:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna describe you would you would come to

0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:13.280
<v Speaker 2>this event, and there would be if you have a team,

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:15.199
<v Speaker 2>if you're one of the forty teams, you would have

0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:18.040
<v Speaker 2>a booth, ye, and there would be time frames during

0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:20.439
<v Speaker 2>the day when you had to have meals cooked. But

0:27:20.600 --> 0:27:23.679
<v Speaker 2>you also cook kind of for the public for whatever

0:27:23.800 --> 0:27:24.200
<v Speaker 2>you want.

0:27:24.320 --> 0:27:26.639
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it doesn't necessarily have to be squirrel. If

0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:30.359
<v Speaker 4>you've got to get porcupine recipe, you're more than welcome.

0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:34.119
<v Speaker 2>And people are just kind of wandering around talking to

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:36.399
<v Speaker 2>the show. It's always real fun to just go around

0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:38.600
<v Speaker 2>and just ask like what are you cooking? And you know,

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:42.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people I've never seen more squirrel costumes

0:27:42.400 --> 0:27:45.920
<v Speaker 2>and like get up from people, just random people, not

0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:48.919
<v Speaker 2>even not even the cooks, just people.

0:27:49.119 --> 0:27:51.440
<v Speaker 5>It's kind of like when Star Wars comes out, it's

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:52.600
<v Speaker 5>like the hillbilly version.

0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:57.440
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Squirrel, I guess I need to start making some squirrel.

0:27:57.040 --> 0:27:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Hat, squirrels, squirrel costumes.

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:00.280
<v Speaker 4>Come squirrel.

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:02.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I'm so glad I bought instead of rended.

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:06.680
<v Speaker 4>So Cy right as you're walking around. If you're a

0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 4>people watcher, like I know we all are, it is

0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:13.040
<v Speaker 4>the perfect place to pull up a chair and sit

0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:17.639
<v Speaker 4>and stare at what's showed up at this deal. Because

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:21.879
<v Speaker 4>we've had teams from as far away as the Netherlands.

0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:24.120
<v Speaker 3>Wow, we even have squirrels.

0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm not real sure I'll come here to cook them,

0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:29.840
<v Speaker 4>but uh, we've had teams from the Netherlands. We've had

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:34.160
<v Speaker 4>a couple of female bankers from New York City. Oh wow,

0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:38.120
<v Speaker 4>who brought them in? We get West Coast teams. We've

0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:41.400
<v Speaker 4>had teams from Canada. We had a judge from Italy.

0:28:42.160 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 4>It's really come to do this. And so why I'm

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:48.719
<v Speaker 4>saying this is this ain't no joke. This is the

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 4>real deal. When we crown you as a world champion.

0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:52.920
<v Speaker 6>You're the world tenter.

0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 4>You should never serve that squirrel on a paper plate.

0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:57.080
<v Speaker 6>Again, That's what I'm talking.

0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 4>It's fine China. So you're doing an entree in a

0:29:01.240 --> 0:29:04.920
<v Speaker 4>side dish, and your side dish should pair with your

0:29:05.160 --> 0:29:07.000
<v Speaker 4>entree and a.

0:29:06.960 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 3>Couple of what variety of wine goes best with it.

0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:13.000
<v Speaker 4>It matters how you cook the squirrel. I mean, got

0:29:13.040 --> 0:29:17.720
<v Speaker 4>a start, but we had up until a couple of

0:29:17.800 --> 0:29:19.680
<v Speaker 4>years ago. It was kind of blind. I give you

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:22.600
<v Speaker 4>a styrophoam box. You put your groceries in there, it

0:29:22.720 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 4>turn it into the judges. And then I'd open up

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:27.760
<v Speaker 4>the box and give them to the judges and they'd say,

0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:31.080
<v Speaker 4>what is this. I'd say, I have no idea squirrel,

0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:34.920
<v Speaker 4>and uh so, now we give the teams the opportunity

0:29:34.920 --> 0:29:37.480
<v Speaker 4>they put a three by five card inside that box

0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 4>and it'll describe what dish they've turned in, because if

0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:45.240
<v Speaker 4>you know what it's supposed to be, it'll kind of

0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:49.520
<v Speaker 4>taste like that, right, right. And how many judges are there,

0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:53.280
<v Speaker 4>So we'll have twelve judges swell, six on one side,

0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 4>six on the other each judge. You know, we have

0:29:55.760 --> 0:29:58.320
<v Speaker 4>an odd set of judges in an even set. So

0:29:58.440 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 4>depending on what your turn in token says, if you're

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:03.120
<v Speaker 4>number two, you go on the right side. If you're

0:30:03.200 --> 0:30:05.440
<v Speaker 4>number one, you go on the left because it is

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:10.200
<v Speaker 4>torture man. When you've got twenty dishes, that's an entree

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:12.960
<v Speaker 4>in a side, and there's a chance you'll have a

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:14.560
<v Speaker 4>number eight shot in any of that.

0:30:15.000 --> 0:30:16.800
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, you.

0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:20.840
<v Speaker 4>Know, you got an orthodontist on the tumba, and so

0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:25.440
<v Speaker 4>it's it's a workout to eat it, and as a judge,

0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:28.360
<v Speaker 4>you sign up to eat everything we throw in front

0:30:28.360 --> 0:30:32.320
<v Speaker 4>of you and judge it fairly. So most cooking competitions,

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:36.120
<v Speaker 4>if it's chili or brisket or steaks or whatever you're doing,

0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:39.880
<v Speaker 4>everybody's in the same realm. So it's real easy to

0:30:40.000 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 4>pick the best brisket from that day. This everything's different,

0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:47.040
<v Speaker 4>So we judge you on your own merit. If you

0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:51.400
<v Speaker 4>make a squirrel meat loaf, well, we're judging on what

0:30:51.480 --> 0:30:55.200
<v Speaker 4>we want as our best meat loaf, and how close

0:30:55.280 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 4>you come to that moral.

0:30:57.240 --> 0:30:59.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm just saying, don't make squirrel meat looaf for the

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:00.760
<v Speaker 5>Champion Chip cook Coffee.

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:02.160
<v Speaker 7>You're not gonna win that thing.

0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, squirrel squirrel meatballs placed really well in

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:10.120
<v Speaker 4>the ask.

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Can you give us a couple of examples of stuff

0:31:12.320 --> 0:31:14.240
<v Speaker 2>that's one? I mean, it's it's stuff that you just

0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:15.400
<v Speaker 2>would never dream of.

0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:21.080
<v Speaker 4>Oh man, Uh, we've had Mexican dishes do really well. Yeah,

0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 4>I'll just put it to you that way. We've had

0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:26.800
<v Speaker 4>a lot of Mexican dishes work out. We've had a

0:31:26.800 --> 0:31:29.440
<v Speaker 4>lot of Italian dishes work out really well.

0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:32.520
<v Speaker 7>So squirrel. Squirrel does well with tomato.

0:31:33.080 --> 0:31:36.400
<v Speaker 4>Well, squirrel is the tofu of the woods, so it'll

0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 4>gather whatever flavor profile you throw at it.

0:31:40.440 --> 0:31:41.200
<v Speaker 1>And I can.

0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:43.760
<v Speaker 2>When I was there, and I'm trying to remember, but

0:31:43.960 --> 0:31:46.840
<v Speaker 2>there was one there was one group that their whole

0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:50.080
<v Speaker 2>thing was to make a Chick fil A sandwich.

0:31:50.160 --> 0:31:55.560
<v Speaker 4>I disqualified them. Really yeah, why, well, because our rules

0:31:55.720 --> 0:31:58.800
<v Speaker 4>are simple. One hundred percent of the preparation of this

0:31:59.360 --> 0:32:04.720
<v Speaker 4>dish has take place on site and there's no marination.

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 4>There's no prep work done. And to make that Chick

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:11.080
<v Speaker 4>fil A sandwich, that means you had to marinate it

0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:13.400
<v Speaker 4>in pickle juice. That's the secret to the Chick fil

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:15.959
<v Speaker 4>a chicken is the pickle juice.

0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, the just as an example though, even though this

0:32:19.440 --> 0:32:22.080
<v Speaker 2>team got disqualified, I didn't realize that these guys.

0:32:21.760 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Like their booth looked like a Chick fil A booth.

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I love it, and they and they made on Sundays

0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:28.960
<v Speaker 2>the same little.

0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:30.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:33.120
<v Speaker 2>It was good, you know. They made a little Chick

0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 2>fil A deal and that was their thing. There was

0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:38.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Asian dishes.

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:39.080
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:32:39.280 --> 0:32:42.360
<v Speaker 1>The b h A guys that I agree got there.

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:44.480
<v Speaker 1>They they made.

0:32:45.960 --> 0:32:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Like squirrel nachos, and we're feeding them to people all day.

0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Is it byo squirrel?

0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:54.400
<v Speaker 4>It is man, That's part of the game. So the

0:32:54.480 --> 0:32:56.840
<v Speaker 4>game is is to get people back in the outdoors,

0:32:57.200 --> 0:32:59.800
<v Speaker 4>and so squirrel is not a commodity we can go

0:32:59.800 --> 0:33:06.280
<v Speaker 4>to the grocery store and purchase. Ironically, I know Steve

0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:11.440
<v Speaker 4>Ranella was just on CBS Sunday Morning and he was

0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:12.680
<v Speaker 4>what the Martha Steward of.

0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:16.400
<v Speaker 7>The Julia Child.

0:33:18.000 --> 0:33:21.440
<v Speaker 4>So I'll throw my humbleness out here. I beat Steve

0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:26.959
<v Speaker 4>Vanella onto CBS Sunday Morning. I was on it years

0:33:27.000 --> 0:33:30.960
<v Speaker 4>before he was, and I was the first guy. You know,

0:33:31.000 --> 0:33:34.720
<v Speaker 4>at the end of CBS Sunday Morning, there's a majestic

0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:38.160
<v Speaker 4>scene of like a moose blowing steam out of its

0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:42.440
<v Speaker 4>nostrils or an old blue herring just tiptoeing through the water.

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:46.560
<v Speaker 4>They got me to be the first guy to shoot

0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:53.680
<v Speaker 4>at something. And so I'm sitting on Spavanack Creek on

0:33:53.760 --> 0:33:56.320
<v Speaker 4>a lawn chair, and about three feet from me is

0:33:56.360 --> 0:34:00.400
<v Speaker 4>this dude from Seattle, Washington, and they brought their little

0:34:00.480 --> 0:34:04.680
<v Speaker 4>goon with them who was from Manhattan, not Kansas. And

0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:09.839
<v Speaker 4>the little guy's writing on a card, handing it to

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:12.960
<v Speaker 4>the guy to ask me the questions. And they're trying

0:34:13.000 --> 0:34:15.839
<v Speaker 4>to burn down my house, I could promise. As we're

0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:18.320
<v Speaker 4>sitting there there, they're trying to get people.

0:34:18.360 --> 0:34:20.439
<v Speaker 1>What are they interviewing you about the check?

0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:21.240
<v Speaker 6>The squirrel cooking?

0:34:21.360 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 4>Why we would kill something if we could go to

0:34:23.680 --> 0:34:27.440
<v Speaker 4>the grocery store and just buy it, and uh, you know,

0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:31.200
<v Speaker 4>your standard questions that come to a hunter from somebody

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:34.160
<v Speaker 4>who's not a hunter. And one of the questions was,

0:34:34.440 --> 0:34:38.439
<v Speaker 4>surely you eat fast food? And I said, yes, sir man,

0:34:38.480 --> 0:34:41.279
<v Speaker 4>I said, an antelope will do forty three, you know.

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:43.680
<v Speaker 4>And so I was one up and them. That was

0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:47.239
<v Speaker 4>the game I was playing. So down the creek about

0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:49.880
<v Speaker 4>one hundred yards walks out this little old gray squirrel

0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:52.960
<v Speaker 4>to take a drink of that cool spring water. And

0:34:53.000 --> 0:34:56.040
<v Speaker 4>the little man from Manhattan, he says, could you shoot

0:34:56.080 --> 0:34:58.880
<v Speaker 4>that squirrel at that distance? I said, oh, yeah, in

0:34:58.920 --> 0:35:03.400
<v Speaker 4>the face. And so I lean up on this tree.

0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:07.040
<v Speaker 4>And I'd been I'd done some TV. I'd done to

0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 4>Andrew Zimmerndial. I had never been around a camera like

0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:13.479
<v Speaker 4>these guys camera. I don't know what HD they were,

0:35:14.400 --> 0:35:16.560
<v Speaker 4>but it was more than we got at my house,

0:35:16.680 --> 0:35:19.439
<v Speaker 4>you know, And so they got two cameras in front

0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:22.360
<v Speaker 4>of me, one behind me, that great big umbrella that's lit,

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:29.480
<v Speaker 4>and they said, whenever you're ready, And so I breathe

0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:34.719
<v Speaker 4>in one paw, I shoot and I've killed hundreds upon

0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:38.160
<v Speaker 4>hundreds of squirrels. I had never killed one like this

0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:41.920
<v Speaker 4>that was ready for TV. As that bullet just barely

0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:48.440
<v Speaker 4>nicked him. He goes and like a three toed sloth,

0:35:48.640 --> 0:35:52.960
<v Speaker 4>this thing is grasping at stones, crawling, playing it up

0:35:53.000 --> 0:35:56.360
<v Speaker 4>for the movies. And the guy says, what are you feeling?

0:35:56.360 --> 0:36:00.239
<v Speaker 4>What's your emotions? I said, I'm pretty upset, he said

0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:03.399
<v Speaker 4>about wounding that animal. Man, I missed it clean. I said,

0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:06.239
<v Speaker 4>I'm upset because I don't get to cook it for you.

0:36:06.800 --> 0:36:09.680
<v Speaker 4>And my mind's just running through on every excuse I

0:36:09.680 --> 0:36:13.080
<v Speaker 4>could come up with, because I thought, the day this airs,

0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:15.160
<v Speaker 4>it's the last day I'm gonna be able to walk

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:19.760
<v Speaker 4>into my house, you know. And they cut it. They

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:23.960
<v Speaker 4>cut it out, and the show actually turned out really good.

0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:28.279
<v Speaker 4>So whenever I whenever I heard Steve Rondella was on

0:36:28.320 --> 0:36:32.200
<v Speaker 4>that show, and I thought, yeah, I was on there too,

0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:34.720
<v Speaker 4>They about about burned down my house.

0:36:36.640 --> 0:36:42.279
<v Speaker 2>Man, Well, Brent, can we get a commitment from you

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:43.360
<v Speaker 2>to be at the World Championship.

0:36:43.400 --> 0:36:47.640
<v Speaker 4>Squirrel cook on, let me do this. I've got seat

0:36:47.800 --> 0:36:52.400
<v Speaker 4>number one over there on the left hand side that

0:36:52.480 --> 0:36:55.120
<v Speaker 4>I'll put you down in the judging spot if you'll

0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 4>accept it.

0:36:57.160 --> 0:36:59.680
<v Speaker 6>I'm there, pal, I got you, mark it down.

0:37:00.600 --> 0:37:05.040
<v Speaker 4>This is big game and Fish just auctioned off one

0:37:05.080 --> 0:37:06.640
<v Speaker 4>of these on the foundation deal.

0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh really a spot as a jezz.

0:37:09.120 --> 0:37:10.360
<v Speaker 4>I think they got like four hundred.

0:37:10.400 --> 0:37:11.399
<v Speaker 1>So you're gonna be a job.

0:37:11.520 --> 0:37:13.680
<v Speaker 6>Gosh, absolutely, I'll be honored.

0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:15.560
<v Speaker 4>To Yeah, man, we'll be honored to have you. Yeah,

0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:17.200
<v Speaker 4>I know that you come qualified.

0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:20.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. I come from a long line of squirrel eaters

0:37:20.719 --> 0:37:22.040
<v Speaker 6>and killers. Yeah.

0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:25.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so hey expect this. If you're coming from a

0:37:25.640 --> 0:37:28.200
<v Speaker 4>long distance, you should probably look for your hotel room

0:37:29.239 --> 0:37:33.319
<v Speaker 4>because we've got multiple things happening that weekend, and so

0:37:33.719 --> 0:37:37.000
<v Speaker 4>go ahead and get you a hotel. The event starts

0:37:37.040 --> 0:37:38.839
<v Speaker 4>at nine in the morning, should be wrapped up by

0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:41.879
<v Speaker 4>about four thirty, but we'll keep you busy all day

0:37:41.960 --> 0:37:43.080
<v Speaker 4>looking and laughing.

0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Does it cost money to get in Clay?

0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:48.200
<v Speaker 4>I would never charge anybody for a good time, and

0:37:48.239 --> 0:37:49.200
<v Speaker 4>so no, it's free.

0:37:49.440 --> 0:37:55.719
<v Speaker 2>That's incredible, that's great, man. Okay, I will most likely

0:37:55.760 --> 0:37:56.120
<v Speaker 2>be there.

0:37:56.320 --> 0:37:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Are we going to have opportunity to eat squirrel just

0:37:58.440 --> 0:37:59.319
<v Speaker 3>as a participant?

0:37:59.440 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? So oh go ahead, Oh go ahead, missus.

0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:04.080
<v Speaker 5>How long do they have to prepare it if they

0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:05.680
<v Speaker 5>can't prepare anything off site?

0:38:06.000 --> 0:38:08.520
<v Speaker 4>So what we do is first thing in the morning,

0:38:08.520 --> 0:38:12.680
<v Speaker 4>about eight o'clock, we'll have a meeting of the teams

0:38:13.080 --> 0:38:16.120
<v Speaker 4>and we'll once again go through all the rules and regulations.

0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:19.160
<v Speaker 4>At eight point thirty, I'm going to send my meat

0:38:19.239 --> 0:38:21.960
<v Speaker 4>inspectors around and this is to make sure there's no

0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:26.000
<v Speaker 4>contraband squirrel inside them coolers. You know, don't be fooling

0:38:26.040 --> 0:38:32.759
<v Speaker 4>me with some rabbits. And so also test the meat

0:38:32.760 --> 0:38:35.760
<v Speaker 4>to make sure that it's forty or under, okay, because

0:38:35.760 --> 0:38:38.000
<v Speaker 4>there's a chance you're going to eat it. Now when

0:38:38.000 --> 0:38:40.839
<v Speaker 4>you come and sample something, you're playing this game at

0:38:40.880 --> 0:38:44.080
<v Speaker 4>your own risk. So we inspect. At nine o'clock, the

0:38:44.120 --> 0:38:48.360
<v Speaker 4>team's fired up and they could cook on any heat source.

0:38:48.719 --> 0:38:50.720
<v Speaker 4>So if you want to cook on a coal and stove,

0:38:50.800 --> 0:38:53.000
<v Speaker 4>that's fine. If you want to cook on a ten

0:38:53.120 --> 0:38:57.759
<v Speaker 4>thousand dollars smoker that you won the Texas Brisket Competition

0:38:57.880 --> 0:39:01.319
<v Speaker 4>in you're more than welcome to cook on that. You can.

0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:03.640
<v Speaker 4>You can fry it, you can bake it, you could

0:39:03.719 --> 0:39:07.200
<v Speaker 4>roast it, you name it. We've even had squirrel sushi.

0:39:07.640 --> 0:39:11.279
<v Speaker 4>We've had squirrel ice cream. The desserts are kind of

0:39:11.320 --> 0:39:11.759
<v Speaker 4>out there.

0:39:11.840 --> 0:39:15.840
<v Speaker 8>The hardest part about smoking a squirrel is keeping him lit'right,

0:39:16.600 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 8>that's right. You got to bite off the end of

0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:18.560
<v Speaker 8>it first.

0:39:18.640 --> 0:39:20.200
<v Speaker 6>That's it. That's the truth.

0:39:20.400 --> 0:39:24.320
<v Speaker 4>And uh, we hope to have if if anybody's listening

0:39:24.400 --> 0:39:29.480
<v Speaker 4>and they have something, a group or somebody that needs

0:39:29.520 --> 0:39:33.319
<v Speaker 4>a little bit of support, you can contact me and

0:39:33.360 --> 0:39:35.040
<v Speaker 4>maybe we could get your booth set up at that

0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:36.120
<v Speaker 4>deal as well.

0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:39.600
<v Speaker 2>So you'll have some vendors, got to have some yeah,

0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:43.360
<v Speaker 2>local people, vendors and organizations.

0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:48.919
<v Speaker 4>Y'all know, if we lose one generation of hunters where

0:39:48.920 --> 0:39:53.160
<v Speaker 4>we're at as a country, we're in trouble. And so

0:39:53.480 --> 0:39:57.200
<v Speaker 4>y'all show and everybody who does it the right way

0:39:58.640 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 4>is doing God's work on this deal, because we're just

0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:07.719
<v Speaker 4>a boat. We're inches away from losing our kids in

0:40:07.760 --> 0:40:10.840
<v Speaker 4>the outdoors. And and so if I could help promote

0:40:11.280 --> 0:40:14.200
<v Speaker 4>our youth in the outdoors, if I could help bring

0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:16.960
<v Speaker 4>back an old timer that used to love squirrel hunting,

0:40:17.400 --> 0:40:19.400
<v Speaker 4>if I could get him drug back out in the woods,

0:40:20.640 --> 0:40:23.560
<v Speaker 4>then it's worth it because I could guarantee you, Clay,

0:40:24.360 --> 0:40:27.040
<v Speaker 4>I ain't never made a penny on this deal, and

0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:29.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to tell my wife what we haven't

0:40:29.080 --> 0:40:35.200
<v Speaker 4>had because of it. So it's that important. And seeing

0:40:35.239 --> 0:40:40.000
<v Speaker 4>these urban people show up and have their nose pointed

0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:41.719
<v Speaker 4>up in the air when they get there, and by

0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:44.400
<v Speaker 4>the end of it you watch them walking around nibbling

0:40:44.440 --> 0:40:48.000
<v Speaker 4>on a squirrel leg or something. It's it's that's my

0:40:48.120 --> 0:40:48.960
<v Speaker 4>success story.

0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:49.399
<v Speaker 6>Man.

0:40:49.600 --> 0:40:51.279
<v Speaker 1>I think what you're doing, Joe.

0:40:51.560 --> 0:40:55.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I've called you a hero before for putting

0:40:55.880 --> 0:40:56.759
<v Speaker 2>this thing on it.

0:40:57.840 --> 0:41:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean I I absolutely love it.

0:41:01.160 --> 0:41:06.160
<v Speaker 4>Just like Dave Crockett. I stepped into this deal by accident,

0:41:06.239 --> 0:41:09.799
<v Speaker 4>but it's given me some opportunities. You know. I was

0:41:09.840 --> 0:41:15.080
<v Speaker 4>telling Brent earlier that I've got a nonprofit organization that

0:41:15.120 --> 0:41:19.160
<v Speaker 4>we travel around the country and we feed firefighters, police officers,

0:41:19.200 --> 0:41:23.480
<v Speaker 4>first responders a Ribby steak dinner. And that's off of bovine,

0:41:23.760 --> 0:41:24.560
<v Speaker 4>that's not off.

0:41:24.440 --> 0:41:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Of a squirrel and squirrel ribbint.

0:41:28.800 --> 0:41:33.360
<v Speaker 4>We've made forty thousand Ribby Steak dinners across the country.

0:41:33.600 --> 0:41:36.200
<v Speaker 6>That's amazing to steaks for sheep.

0:41:36.280 --> 0:41:41.520
<v Speaker 4>Steaks for sheep dogs. And our goal is to show community.

0:41:43.360 --> 0:41:47.360
<v Speaker 4>You could not get along with somebody. There's certain people

0:41:47.360 --> 0:41:50.000
<v Speaker 4>in this country you may not like, but you'll eat

0:41:50.400 --> 0:41:56.960
<v Speaker 4>at their restaurant. Breaking bread is really the secret to

0:41:58.280 --> 0:42:02.120
<v Speaker 4>neighbors and friendships and all that. And we can always

0:42:02.239 --> 0:42:06.080
<v Speaker 4>have a meal and work out our issues. That's whenever

0:42:06.080 --> 0:42:10.239
<v Speaker 4>your guard's down, whenever you're eating especially good food. And

0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:14.000
<v Speaker 4>so six years ago in Dallas, Texas, a bad guy

0:42:14.080 --> 0:42:17.400
<v Speaker 4>showed up. He killed a bunch of police officers. I've

0:42:17.440 --> 0:42:19.799
<v Speaker 4>seen an opportunity for me to slide in there and

0:42:19.840 --> 0:42:25.359
<v Speaker 4>try to make a change, and we've helped people. We'll

0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:29.480
<v Speaker 4>never win the fight. It's impossible to make everybody appreciate

0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:32.200
<v Speaker 4>that we have sheep dogs out there taking care of us.

0:42:34.200 --> 0:42:38.120
<v Speaker 4>People are going to dislike people regardless. But I know

0:42:38.160 --> 0:42:41.920
<v Speaker 4>whenever our team shows up and we put smiles on faces,

0:42:41.960 --> 0:42:45.400
<v Speaker 4>and every time you've spoken to people, whether it be

0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:48.719
<v Speaker 4>at church or on one of your adventures, there'll be

0:42:48.800 --> 0:42:51.319
<v Speaker 4>somebody will call you and say I needed that that day,

0:42:51.880 --> 0:42:57.120
<v Speaker 4>you know. And that's that's my trophy. Is we'll leave

0:42:57.160 --> 0:42:59.240
<v Speaker 4>a community and I'll get a phone call and there'll

0:42:59.239 --> 0:43:02.719
<v Speaker 4>be someone I've known ever met before, say you don't

0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:05.400
<v Speaker 4>know where I was at that day, And when you

0:43:05.480 --> 0:43:09.680
<v Speaker 4>showed up and fed us, it gave me a clear

0:43:09.800 --> 0:43:13.200
<v Speaker 4>view that we're still together as a country. And I'm

0:43:13.239 --> 0:43:16.879
<v Speaker 4>not saying I've saved anybody. I just know that we've

0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:20.360
<v Speaker 4>touched hearts through Rebby steaks, some really good mashed potatoes,

0:43:20.800 --> 0:43:25.400
<v Speaker 4>and some dang good green beans.

0:43:25.400 --> 0:43:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Man, that's incredible steaks, steaks for shooting. Yes, sir, that's

0:43:29.360 --> 0:43:29.960
<v Speaker 1>awesome man.

0:43:30.360 --> 0:43:32.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I appreciate it. And and you know it's we're

0:43:32.520 --> 0:43:38.200
<v Speaker 4>one hundred percent volunteer organization. I don't know how how

0:43:38.239 --> 0:43:40.359
<v Speaker 4>I have the gas money to show up here today,

0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:43.200
<v Speaker 4>because everything I do is for free, you know. But

0:43:44.120 --> 0:43:46.759
<v Speaker 4>we're born with the with the last name. It's kind

0:43:46.800 --> 0:43:50.640
<v Speaker 4>of our brand. And I've listened to your stories about

0:43:50.680 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 4>your boy being left out in the woods and and

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:56.839
<v Speaker 4>all that. Well he's a new com and uh, I've

0:43:56.880 --> 0:44:00.000
<v Speaker 4>got a last name of Wilson. And so I pointed,

0:44:00.120 --> 0:44:04.360
<v Speaker 4>given my kids a solid foundation, a brand name, my

0:44:04.560 --> 0:44:07.200
<v Speaker 4>last name given to my kids should be able to

0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:11.440
<v Speaker 4>give them some opportunity to where people would know Joe

0:44:11.480 --> 0:44:14.960
<v Speaker 4>was a good old boy. So maybe that acron didn't

0:44:15.000 --> 0:44:17.680
<v Speaker 4>fall far from the tree on his son or his daughter.

0:44:18.320 --> 0:44:21.880
<v Speaker 4>And I don't know if this is gonna work or not,

0:44:22.480 --> 0:44:26.280
<v Speaker 4>but I'm gonna give them the easiest path to people

0:44:26.320 --> 0:44:29.400
<v Speaker 4>believing and if they say it, they're gonna do it.

0:44:30.000 --> 0:44:32.919
<v Speaker 4>So that's kind of how I stand on that deal.

0:44:33.239 --> 0:44:33.840
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome.

0:44:35.280 --> 0:44:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Hey tell us about uh and this isn't the sales

0:44:38.320 --> 0:44:45.560
<v Speaker 2>pitch for Joe's spice thing, but it is wilson sauce.

0:44:46.520 --> 0:44:50.279
<v Speaker 2>Tell me about I've got questions. Joe just handed me

0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:53.000
<v Speaker 2>a bottle when I left left him the other day

0:44:53.560 --> 0:44:55.239
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, what is this and he said,

0:44:55.239 --> 0:44:57.040
<v Speaker 2>put it on anything, it'll taste good, and.

0:44:57.040 --> 0:45:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Ma'am, it does. Wilson Shire sauce as a craft Worcestershre sauce.

0:45:02.880 --> 0:45:04.480
<v Speaker 4>See you had a hard time saying it too.

0:45:04.680 --> 0:45:05.040
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:45:05.120 --> 0:45:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:09.240
<v Speaker 4>So I woke up one morning, same show, CBS Sunday Morning,

0:45:09.920 --> 0:45:12.279
<v Speaker 4>and uh, they had the top five hardest words for

0:45:12.280 --> 0:45:14.360
<v Speaker 4>an American to say. One of them was squirrel and

0:45:14.400 --> 0:45:16.920
<v Speaker 4>I already had that covered. And the other one was

0:45:16.960 --> 0:45:19.719
<v Speaker 4>that Worcestershire, Right, I.

0:45:19.880 --> 0:45:22.759
<v Speaker 1>Really, I thought I said it really pretty good.

0:45:22.719 --> 0:45:26.920
<v Speaker 4>There, Worcestershire and Uh, So I thought, well, maybe I

0:45:26.960 --> 0:45:29.319
<v Speaker 4>could do better. So I read the label on that

0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:32.800
<v Speaker 4>leand parines and I went to three different grocery stores,

0:45:32.840 --> 0:45:35.720
<v Speaker 4>bought some stuff, and it kind of looked like a lab.

0:45:35.800 --> 0:45:38.160
<v Speaker 4>Inside the house, I kicked everybody out and said, leave

0:45:38.239 --> 0:45:42.120
<v Speaker 4>me alone. I'm inventing something. And uh, in my shop,

0:45:42.160 --> 0:45:45.120
<v Speaker 4>I've got a fermentation refrigerator like most of us do.

0:45:48.080 --> 0:45:48.759
<v Speaker 1>And uh.

0:45:49.400 --> 0:45:51.600
<v Speaker 4>I filled a big old jar full of a concoction.

0:45:52.080 --> 0:45:53.919
<v Speaker 4>And about a month I went out there and looked

0:45:53.920 --> 0:45:56.439
<v Speaker 4>at it and didn't look right. Second month, the heck,

0:45:56.520 --> 0:46:00.400
<v Speaker 4>it looked even worse. Third month, it had grown big

0:46:00.480 --> 0:46:02.920
<v Speaker 4>skin over the top and I hit it with a blender,

0:46:03.080 --> 0:46:06.799
<v Speaker 4>took a tablespoon of it, drank it, set in my chair,

0:46:06.880 --> 0:46:09.000
<v Speaker 4>woke up in the morning and I hadn't died. That

0:46:09.120 --> 0:46:12.719
<v Speaker 4>made me hungry, and so I bottled twenty bottles of it.

0:46:12.800 --> 0:46:14.600
<v Speaker 4>I sent it around the country to people that I

0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:17.720
<v Speaker 4>knew would appreciate it. And Mark Lambert, who's a seven

0:46:17.760 --> 0:46:21.000
<v Speaker 4>time world champion of barbecue. I gave him a bottle

0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:24.239
<v Speaker 4>and he won an event with it, and he says,

0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:26.400
<v Speaker 4>I need more. I says, you're in trouble. It takes

0:46:26.400 --> 0:46:29.600
<v Speaker 4>three months to make it, and after about two years

0:46:29.600 --> 0:46:34.640
<v Speaker 4>of him prodding me, we made Wilsonshire a commercial thing

0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:38.719
<v Speaker 4>and we've sold thousands of bottles of it. But you know,

0:46:38.840 --> 0:46:40.920
<v Speaker 4>right here in the state of Arkansas, we've got towns

0:46:40.920 --> 0:46:44.080
<v Speaker 4>and spice and supply and they're out of Melbourne, Arkansas,

0:46:44.239 --> 0:46:47.360
<v Speaker 4>a little small place, and they make all the rest

0:46:47.360 --> 0:46:50.279
<v Speaker 4>of my seasonings. And I brought you all some seasonings

0:46:50.320 --> 0:46:52.359
<v Speaker 4>because if you're going to eat, you might as well

0:46:52.400 --> 0:46:53.200
<v Speaker 4>make it taste good.

<v Speaker 1>So where can we buy Wilson shug.

0:46:56.719 --> 0:46:59.640

0:46:59.719 --> 0:47:01.360
<v Speaker 4>just tie it in and you'll find a place.

0:47:01.640 --> 0:47:05.080

0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:08.480
<v Speaker 2>bottle of what you realize is Worcestershre sauce, and you're like,

0:47:08.600 --> 0:47:10.800

<v Speaker 1>Did you like it?

0:49:18.800 --> 0:49:21.120
<v Speaker 4>I did like it. Listen you heard it, Joe, Yeah,

0:49:21.160 --> 0:49:21.720
<v Speaker 4>many times.

0:49:21.800 --> 0:49:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I have a.

0:49:22.520 --> 0:49:25.319
<v Speaker 5>Bone to pick with you. It is the version, you know.

0:49:25.800 --> 0:49:27.759
<v Speaker 5>I grew up in Hatfield, Arkansas. You know I heard

0:49:27.800 --> 0:49:31.319
<v Speaker 5>that version before and watched the movie the video, Like

0:49:31.360 --> 0:49:32.239
<v Speaker 5>I remember.

0:49:31.920 --> 0:49:33.720
<v Speaker 1>As a kid, all the people with the coonskin.

0:49:33.840 --> 0:49:35.960
<v Speaker 5>There was this channel, like we had five channels in

0:49:36.040 --> 0:49:37.880
<v Speaker 5>Hatfield and then one day all of us got eighteen

0:49:37.920 --> 0:49:40.120
<v Speaker 5>and one of them was more Music, which was this.

0:49:40.760 --> 0:49:44.480
<v Speaker 5>It was this video. It showed music videos. MTV was

0:49:44.480 --> 0:49:47.439
<v Speaker 5>not allowed in Polk County, So that was like my.

0:49:47.360 --> 0:49:50.360
<v Speaker 3>First experience county like it. They wouldn't let it.

0:49:50.480 --> 0:49:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you couldn't get it there.

0:49:51.960 --> 0:49:54.320
<v Speaker 5>You could not get Eventually people got satellites and you

0:49:54.320 --> 0:49:56.920
<v Speaker 5>could get it on satellite, but you couldn't get it, like,

0:49:56.960 --> 0:49:57.760
<v Speaker 5>it was not allowed.

0:49:57.960 --> 0:50:01.120
<v Speaker 7>So so I hadn't seen music. He was like everybody else.

0:50:01.640 --> 0:50:04.120
<v Speaker 5>And the Kentucky Headhunters came on there, and then that

0:50:04.160 --> 0:50:09.080
<v Speaker 5>guy had my brothers and I when they would come on.

0:50:09.200 --> 0:50:13.680
<v Speaker 5>We loved one of those guys really.

0:50:13.760 --> 0:50:16.080
<v Speaker 6>At Arkansas in Mississippi County.

0:50:16.280 --> 0:50:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm not surprised, Okay, did y'all like it was

0:50:22.719 --> 0:50:24.279
<v Speaker 2>kind of it was kind of a new trick.

0:50:24.400 --> 0:50:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I did, played the song but then described what was happening.

0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Did you like that? What I didn't what I didn't

0:50:30.480 --> 0:50:31.200
<v Speaker 1>put in there.

0:50:31.280 --> 0:50:34.799
<v Speaker 2>Was when the drummer got up from the drum set

0:50:34.920 --> 0:50:38.960
<v Speaker 2>to chase the bear, he actually went and turned on

0:50:39.200 --> 0:50:43.399
<v Speaker 2>this little handmade auto drummer, Like it was a joke,

0:50:43.880 --> 0:50:46.480
<v Speaker 2>like he like jumps up from the drum set, but

0:50:46.520 --> 0:50:49.240
<v Speaker 2>the music's playing, so the music, like the drum keeps

0:50:49.239 --> 0:50:51.040
<v Speaker 2>going and they had to figure out a way.

0:50:51.080 --> 0:50:51.200
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:50:51.239 --> 0:50:53.799
<v Speaker 3>It's funny is when you said that, I thought, well,

0:50:54.000 --> 0:50:54.720
<v Speaker 3>who's drumming?

0:50:55.600 --> 0:50:57.759
<v Speaker 4>You actually thought that?

0:50:58.080 --> 0:50:58.319
<v Speaker 6>Well?

0:50:58.480 --> 0:51:00.879
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So in the music video, there's like.

0:51:00.800 --> 0:51:05.280
<v Speaker 2>A handmade, hand drawn little little box and it says

0:51:05.800 --> 0:51:08.720
<v Speaker 2>it says manual drum and auto drum, and he flicks

0:51:08.719 --> 0:51:11.120
<v Speaker 2>it the auto drum and then jumps out the window

0:51:11.160 --> 0:51:11.919
<v Speaker 2>and chases the bear.

0:51:12.200 --> 0:51:14.000
<v Speaker 6>Okay, I didn't even think anything about that.

0:51:15.120 --> 0:51:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Josh is a deep thinker.

0:51:17.400 --> 0:51:18.439
<v Speaker 6>One of the Elvis.

0:51:18.200 --> 0:51:20.600
<v Speaker 8>Movies, he was singing a song and he wanted the

0:51:20.680 --> 0:51:23.239
<v Speaker 8>Jordanaires to back him up while he's riding this motorcycle

0:51:23.280 --> 0:51:25.719
<v Speaker 8>down the road. They're like, Elvis, you can't have the

0:51:25.760 --> 0:51:27.560
<v Speaker 8>Jordanaires singing. He said, where are we gonna put him?

0:51:27.560 --> 0:51:29.160
<v Speaker 8>He said, I guess the same place where the folks

0:51:29.160 --> 0:51:33.520
<v Speaker 8>have played the music motorcycle?

0:51:34.360 --> 0:51:38.759
<v Speaker 1>All right, question number two, I'm gonna ask.

0:51:39.840 --> 0:51:41.880
<v Speaker 3>I know one of the questions you're going to question.

0:51:42.320 --> 0:51:44.480
<v Speaker 3>I know one of the that's not fair because we're

0:51:44.480 --> 0:51:45.919
<v Speaker 3>all going to answer at the same time if.

0:51:45.840 --> 0:51:46.200
<v Speaker 6>We know it.

0:51:46.239 --> 0:51:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, just answer the question. Okay, what state was David

0:51:50.840 --> 0:51:51.640
<v Speaker 1>You're born in?

0:51:52.640 --> 0:51:52.759
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:51:53.360 --> 0:51:57.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean I got the answer. So it was Tennessee

0:51:57.400 --> 0:52:00.840
<v Speaker 4>before it was as it was tied into the North Carolina.

0:52:00.880 --> 0:52:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, does any this.

0:52:02.160 --> 0:52:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Is Franklin Franklin Franklin frank So you were on the

0:52:06.040 --> 0:52:06.680
<v Speaker 3>right track.

0:52:07.000 --> 0:52:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to question, is yeah, what is now Tennessee?

0:52:12.960 --> 0:52:15.600
<v Speaker 2>But at the time it was considered the state of

0:52:15.719 --> 0:52:19.759
<v Speaker 2>Franklin years which was like four years when there was

0:52:19.800 --> 0:52:22.120
<v Speaker 2>a state named after Benjamin Franklin.

0:52:22.560 --> 0:52:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, he after Benjamin Franklin, That's what I think. Is

0:52:26.200 --> 0:52:28.160
<v Speaker 1>there another Franklin in American history?

0:52:28.400 --> 0:52:29.720
<v Speaker 7>Well, I'm sure there's several.

0:52:30.760 --> 0:52:31.439
<v Speaker 3>There's only one.

0:52:32.840 --> 0:52:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, one of the founding fathers. It was rich Yeah,

0:52:35.640 --> 0:52:36.480
<v Speaker 1>and so Franklin.

0:52:36.520 --> 0:52:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Everybody, like even song says born on a mountaintop in Tennessee.

0:52:41.560 --> 0:52:45.040
<v Speaker 2>And the complicated version is, well it actually wasn't Tennessee

0:52:45.080 --> 0:52:47.560
<v Speaker 2>when he was born there. But so did you get

0:52:47.560 --> 0:52:51.359
<v Speaker 2>that right? So you got two right Franklin? Josh, Wow,

0:52:51.440 --> 0:52:55.880
<v Speaker 2>the score is two to zero. Okay, at what age

0:52:55.880 --> 0:53:01.120
<v Speaker 2>did David Crockett's follow John first bomb him out to work?

0:53:01.320 --> 0:53:04.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, I have never thought about that. Had I

0:53:04.160 --> 0:53:06.520
<v Speaker 3>thought about bonding out my kids, I would have gone

0:53:06.520 --> 0:53:07.640
<v Speaker 3>into tons of debt.

0:53:07.960 --> 0:53:10.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I wish you could rent them out to the

0:53:10.800 --> 0:53:13.360
<v Speaker 2>credit card who is will.

0:53:13.200 --> 0:53:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Work anybody under the table. And I should have bonded

0:53:15.600 --> 0:53:16.680
<v Speaker 3>him out years ago.

0:53:17.719 --> 0:53:18.120
<v Speaker 6>You should.

0:53:18.239 --> 0:53:20.879
<v Speaker 2>You should see if you work something that with Visa MasterCards,

0:53:21.239 --> 0:53:22.799
<v Speaker 2>just to have him work directly for them.

0:53:22.880 --> 0:53:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Brent reeves with a correct answer twelve.

0:53:25.280 --> 0:53:27.880
<v Speaker 2>You know what I learned, So a good way to

0:53:27.960 --> 0:53:31.520
<v Speaker 2>approach American history to me just trying to understand what

0:53:31.600 --> 0:53:35.959
<v Speaker 2>was going on is when you're when you're looking into

0:53:35.960 --> 0:53:38.360
<v Speaker 2>this stuff, you just kind of learn about how life

0:53:38.480 --> 0:53:40.560
<v Speaker 2>was by these details that don't seem to make a

0:53:40.600 --> 0:53:43.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of sense or aren't that relevant. But what I

0:53:43.440 --> 0:53:45.680
<v Speaker 2>learned inside of this is that it was extremely common

0:53:46.080 --> 0:53:49.319
<v Speaker 2>for people to bond out their children, like have them

0:53:49.360 --> 0:53:50.600
<v Speaker 2>like go live with people.

0:53:50.680 --> 0:53:52.960
<v Speaker 8>Here was something that I thought was interesting. I thought,

0:53:53.520 --> 0:53:55.719
<v Speaker 8>you know, at twelve years old, now we think about that,

0:53:55.719 --> 0:53:59.600
<v Speaker 8>that is a there's still a child for almost ten

0:53:59.640 --> 0:54:00.319
<v Speaker 8>more year years.

0:54:00.360 --> 0:54:00.600
<v Speaker 6>Really.

0:54:00.800 --> 0:54:04.719
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, but I looked up several different things that I

0:54:04.960 --> 0:54:08.320
<v Speaker 8>that I researched said that the average last ban somebody

0:54:08.360 --> 0:54:11.920
<v Speaker 8>back then was like thirty eight mm hmm. So that's

0:54:11.960 --> 0:54:14.600
<v Speaker 8>really a quarter. Somebody's already lived a quarter of the

0:54:14.680 --> 0:54:16.520
<v Speaker 8>Lafe by the time there's twelve. It's time he got

0:54:16.560 --> 0:54:17.840
<v Speaker 8>up made something of itself.

0:54:18.320 --> 0:54:22.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean people were getting married at thirteen fourteen, yeah, sixteen, Yeah, really.

0:54:22.520 --> 0:54:25.200
<v Speaker 6>I mean I was. But that's really it's kind of

0:54:25.239 --> 0:54:26.120
<v Speaker 6>wild to think about it.

0:54:35.560 --> 0:54:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so the score is one to two. Joe and

0:54:38.760 --> 0:54:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Misty or were bringing up the rear, bringing up the rear.

0:54:41.960 --> 0:54:44.319
<v Speaker 5>Okay, I think I should maybe get half points because

0:54:44.320 --> 0:54:45.720
<v Speaker 5>I knew too of the answers.

0:54:45.880 --> 0:54:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, this is I think Joe should.

0:54:47.520 --> 0:54:49.319
<v Speaker 5>Get a half point because he had an explanation for

0:54:49.400 --> 0:54:50.320
<v Speaker 5>one of the answers.

0:54:51.000 --> 0:54:54.919
<v Speaker 4>I'll fight my way back, Okay, okay, next round.

0:54:56.120 --> 0:54:57.560
<v Speaker 1>David Crockett.

0:54:58.840 --> 0:55:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Spoke of He said that he had blank number of

0:55:03.600 --> 0:55:06.440
<v Speaker 2>the most vicious bear dogs seven South.

0:55:06.680 --> 0:55:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Seven goes to Joe Wilson.

0:55:09.000 --> 0:55:12.600
<v Speaker 2>He had seven of the most vicious bear dogs in

0:55:12.640 --> 0:55:13.080
<v Speaker 2>the South.

0:55:14.960 --> 0:55:19.160
<v Speaker 1>That's right, and do well, it had to have been.

0:55:22.400 --> 0:55:22.759
<v Speaker 6>For sure.

0:55:23.000 --> 0:55:29.440
<v Speaker 2>They so there's it's complete speculation. Crockett what said that

0:55:29.480 --> 0:55:32.520
<v Speaker 2>he did not like pure breed dogs. He liked a

0:55:32.760 --> 0:55:36.200
<v Speaker 2>mixed a mixed breed dog, which is common still today

0:55:36.239 --> 0:55:38.359
<v Speaker 2>in a lot of places. People like the mixed breed dog.

0:55:39.840 --> 0:55:41.600
<v Speaker 4>One of his dogs wasn't bred with a poodle.

0:55:42.239 --> 0:55:47.200
<v Speaker 1>No, no, it wasn't a crocodoodle. Uh.

0:55:47.440 --> 0:55:51.080
<v Speaker 2>He That is the only indication of the type of

0:55:51.080 --> 0:55:53.760
<v Speaker 2>dogs he had, was he he I love it because

0:55:53.760 --> 0:55:55.719
<v Speaker 2>he said, you know he was he was baying this

0:55:55.840 --> 0:55:57.879
<v Speaker 2>bear at night in the dark, and the only dog

0:55:57.920 --> 0:55:59.879
<v Speaker 2>you could see was this white dog. And I think

0:56:00.200 --> 0:56:04.240
<v Speaker 2>and walker hounds weren't really walker hounds by that time,

0:56:04.560 --> 0:56:06.960
<v Speaker 2>but there were a lot of hounds from Europe coming

0:56:07.000 --> 0:56:09.120
<v Speaker 2>in at that I mean, all of our hounds obviously

0:56:09.160 --> 0:56:15.240
<v Speaker 2>came from Europe, but George Washington was bringing in pure bred,

0:56:15.600 --> 0:56:20.040
<v Speaker 2>purebred hounds. The plots in the seventeen fifties first got here,

0:56:20.239 --> 0:56:22.480
<v Speaker 2>and you know, by the time Crockett was hunting in

0:56:22.520 --> 0:56:27.000
<v Speaker 2>the early eighteen hundreds, the plot breed would have been

0:56:27.120 --> 0:56:30.680
<v Speaker 2>extremely tight there in eastern North Carolina, which that's right

0:56:30.719 --> 0:56:34.120
<v Speaker 2>where Crockett was. I mean, Crockett would have been probably

0:56:34.160 --> 0:56:38.000
<v Speaker 2>within less than one hundred miles of where the plots

0:56:38.000 --> 0:56:42.480
<v Speaker 2>were at that time, so it's you know, it's possible, unlikely.

0:56:42.800 --> 0:56:47.080
<v Speaker 2>He probably had just a mix of black and tan

0:56:47.200 --> 0:56:49.360
<v Speaker 2>and English and running dogs and curves.

0:56:49.760 --> 0:56:51.200
<v Speaker 1>They liked to clip their tails.

0:56:51.520 --> 0:56:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Houndsmen today typically don't clip their dog's tails, especially in

0:56:55.120 --> 0:56:57.960
<v Speaker 2>the East. In the West they do, but Crockett said

0:56:57.960 --> 0:57:02.160
<v Speaker 2>he loved a dog with a clip tail. Later, we're

0:57:02.200 --> 0:57:04.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna see uh in the next episode, we're gonna hear

0:57:05.080 --> 0:57:08.640
<v Speaker 2>about the most famous painting of Crockett, which was done

0:57:08.719 --> 0:57:12.480
<v Speaker 2>in Manhattan, New York, and the painter. Back in those days,

0:57:12.520 --> 0:57:14.800
<v Speaker 2>when you painted someone, you actually just had to stand

0:57:14.840 --> 0:57:17.080
<v Speaker 2>there and they painted you. So it was like a

0:57:17.200 --> 0:57:21.640
<v Speaker 2>daze long thing and uh, he wanted a picture of himself.

0:57:21.840 --> 0:57:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm spilling the beans. This is like my favorite part

0:57:23.760 --> 0:57:24.720
<v Speaker 2>of the next episode.

0:57:25.000 --> 0:57:27.240
<v Speaker 4>Are you sure that this is the one where he's

0:57:27.240 --> 0:57:27.919
<v Speaker 4>tipping the hat?

0:57:28.120 --> 0:57:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah that one, And I hadn't talked

0:57:30.840 --> 0:57:32.200
<v Speaker 2>about it yet, so good job on that.

0:57:32.600 --> 0:57:40.360
<v Speaker 6>Uh, no extra points. He Uh.

0:57:41.880 --> 0:57:44.480
<v Speaker 2>The guy was just painting some random dogs on there,

0:57:45.040 --> 0:57:47.520
<v Speaker 2>and Crockett was like, no, no, no, no, no, we gotta

0:57:47.600 --> 0:57:49.520
<v Speaker 2>go find some dogs that look no, no, no, this is

0:57:49.560 --> 0:57:52.280
<v Speaker 2>what was. The guy was painting these purebred dogs that

0:57:52.320 --> 0:57:54.640
<v Speaker 2>he had got from somewhere in New York, and Kroca

0:57:54.760 --> 0:57:56.400
<v Speaker 2>was like, nah, we gotta find some dogs that look

0:57:56.480 --> 0:58:00.280
<v Speaker 2>like Tennessee bear dogs. They went to the streets and

0:58:00.320 --> 0:58:02.680
<v Speaker 2>got these mongrel dogs and brought them back in and

0:58:03.120 --> 0:58:04.280
<v Speaker 2>was like, they look like it.

0:58:04.360 --> 0:58:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, here we are.

0:58:05.800 --> 0:58:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Question number four, Phil, This is a fill in the

0:58:08.320 --> 0:58:11.120
<v Speaker 2>blank question. This is a quote from Crockett. He said,

0:58:11.120 --> 0:58:13.800
<v Speaker 2>if a fellow is born to be hung, he will

0:58:13.840 --> 0:58:17.200
<v Speaker 2>never be drowned. And further, if he is born will

0:58:17.280 --> 0:58:21.800
<v Speaker 2>not be blank. Even flower barrels can't make mash of him.

0:58:22.200 --> 0:58:23.000
<v Speaker 1>We read it again.

0:58:24.720 --> 0:58:28.640
<v Speaker 2>If if a fellow is this is one of my

0:58:28.760 --> 0:58:33.320
<v Speaker 2>favorite crown no no, no, Well listen, you're looking for a word,

0:58:33.360 --> 0:58:35.320
<v Speaker 2>but this is one of my favorite Crockett quotes.

0:58:35.360 --> 0:58:36.320
<v Speaker 1>He said, if.

0:58:36.200 --> 0:58:39.439
<v Speaker 2>You're born to be if you're born to be hung,

0:58:39.520 --> 0:58:43.000
<v Speaker 2>you'll never be drowned. I explained that today my son.

0:58:43.440 --> 0:58:45.960
<v Speaker 2>I love that quote. He said, if a fellow is

0:58:45.960 --> 0:58:48.160
<v Speaker 2>born to be hung, he'll never be drowned. And further,

0:58:48.280 --> 0:58:52.880
<v Speaker 2>if he is born for blank, even flower barrels can't.

0:58:52.560 --> 0:58:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Congress, Congress correct this.

0:58:56.000 --> 0:58:57.080
<v Speaker 3>I knew it was in there.

0:58:57.160 --> 0:58:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:58:59.360 --> 0:59:02.840
<v Speaker 3>One. I listened to the podcast once at regular speed

0:59:02.920 --> 0:59:04.960
<v Speaker 3>and a second time at one and a half.

0:59:06.560 --> 0:59:08.240
<v Speaker 7>And a half. I listened at one point two five.

0:59:08.280 --> 0:59:11.600
<v Speaker 3>I can't get I mainly listened to because I like him.

0:59:16.080 --> 0:59:18.760
<v Speaker 2>I think a podcast until they runed if you have

0:59:19.200 --> 0:59:22.320
<v Speaker 2>agree speed you guy?

0:59:22.640 --> 0:59:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that like this.

0:59:24.760 --> 0:59:27.840
<v Speaker 3>This film has been edited to fit to format your

0:59:27.880 --> 0:59:28.720
<v Speaker 3>screen when.

0:59:28.600 --> 0:59:31.640
<v Speaker 5>They used to Yeah, man, I I actually wish I

0:59:31.640 --> 0:59:32.560
<v Speaker 5>could do that to people.

0:59:33.680 --> 0:59:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, conversation, yeah Crockett.

0:59:40.560 --> 0:59:43.480
<v Speaker 2>In Crockett's biography, I think it's important to note this,

0:59:44.120 --> 0:59:47.680
<v Speaker 2>so Daniel Boone, I made this statement like four times.

0:59:47.880 --> 0:59:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's important Daniel Boone became this American archetype.

0:59:51.040 --> 0:59:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Boone was like a generation before Crockett Boone. We

0:59:55.680 --> 0:59:58.680
<v Speaker 2>have this image of him that's really pristine, and I

0:59:58.680 --> 1:00:03.240
<v Speaker 2>think it's partly because we never really saw Boone's humanity

1:00:03.280 --> 1:00:06.800
<v Speaker 2>from his own voice. Yeah, there were all these autobiographies

1:00:06.840 --> 1:00:09.640
<v Speaker 2>of Boone were lost or destroyed, and so Boone is

1:00:09.720 --> 1:00:12.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of this mysterious guy that we never actually heard

1:00:12.400 --> 1:00:16.080
<v Speaker 2>from him in his own voice, and Boone has this

1:00:16.200 --> 1:00:18.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of mythical figure because of that.

1:00:18.920 --> 1:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>Crockett was so.

1:00:22.960 --> 1:00:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Genuine, vulnerable and real in his autobiography. I think it

1:00:27.600 --> 1:00:34.120
<v Speaker 2>is detrimental to him. And the autobiography is laced with

1:00:35.000 --> 1:00:39.040
<v Speaker 2>political stuff and it kind of bugged me because it's

1:00:39.040 --> 1:00:41.640
<v Speaker 2>like every time he was talking, he would say then,

1:00:41.800 --> 1:00:43.840
<v Speaker 2>but at that time, I didn't know that one day

1:00:43.880 --> 1:00:46.320
<v Speaker 2>I would be great and sit amongst the greatest men.

1:00:46.200 --> 1:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Of the world.

1:00:47.000 --> 1:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Like he kind of is self aggrandizing quite a bit.

1:00:51.040 --> 1:00:54.800
<v Speaker 4>Because he still had an agenda of being president absolutely,

1:00:55.600 --> 1:00:58.160
<v Speaker 4>and yeah, so he you know, I was thinking about

1:00:58.200 --> 1:01:01.919
<v Speaker 4>this through the show. When you're state representative, you're there

1:01:01.960 --> 1:01:05.040
<v Speaker 4>for two years, right, and so as soon as you

1:01:05.040 --> 1:01:08.000
<v Speaker 4>get elected, you're trying to get re elected, which is

1:01:08.080 --> 1:01:10.720
<v Speaker 4>kind of a flaw in our whole deal. If you

1:01:10.760 --> 1:01:14.080
<v Speaker 4>gave those guys a five year term, maybe a single

1:01:14.160 --> 1:01:18.240
<v Speaker 4>five year term. That way you're not worried about getting

1:01:18.280 --> 1:01:20.880
<v Speaker 4>re elected and self promoting as much as you are

1:01:20.960 --> 1:01:24.720
<v Speaker 4>taking care of your folks in in your region.

1:01:24.920 --> 1:01:27.040
<v Speaker 6>Don't bring common sense into this story.

1:01:27.440 --> 1:01:30.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, Yeah, but that's how that's how I got it.

1:01:30.720 --> 1:01:34.400
<v Speaker 4>And you know you talked about him being a self promoter. Yeah,

1:01:34.520 --> 1:01:36.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean he would be a star on Twitter or

1:01:37.360 --> 1:01:39.640
<v Speaker 4>tub or whatever. That's that's who he was.

1:01:39.960 --> 1:01:40.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

1:01:41.480 --> 1:01:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, he was always bringing he was always bringing up

1:01:44.000 --> 1:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>his political career inside his autobiography.

1:01:46.760 --> 1:01:48.640
<v Speaker 5>And that's probably why people don't like him, Like that's

1:01:48.680 --> 1:01:51.680
<v Speaker 5>the legacy if that's his autobiosphy.

1:01:52.480 --> 1:01:54.560
<v Speaker 2>I said it before, if he'd had a good editor

1:01:54.680 --> 1:01:58.560
<v Speaker 2>and editor down. I mean, I'm being honest. I think

1:01:58.560 --> 1:02:02.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people my write something like that, but

1:02:02.360 --> 1:02:04.560
<v Speaker 2>it goes through so many they would be like, hey,

1:02:04.680 --> 1:02:07.440
<v Speaker 2>that sounds. People said that to me before, believe it

1:02:07.520 --> 1:02:11.880
<v Speaker 2>or not, Joe, they'd been like, hey, when you say

1:02:11.880 --> 1:02:13.120
<v Speaker 2>it like that, it sounds.

1:02:13.920 --> 1:02:16.760
<v Speaker 8>I wonder if that correlated to the style of the time, though,

1:02:16.840 --> 1:02:18.600
<v Speaker 8>and I agree, And you had to be the loudest

1:02:18.760 --> 1:02:20.000
<v Speaker 8>when the loudest guy got.

1:02:19.880 --> 1:02:24.520
<v Speaker 4>Hurt or that he was a Southern frontiersman and everybody

1:02:24.600 --> 1:02:26.000
<v Speaker 4>in the East thought he was going to be an

1:02:26.000 --> 1:02:26.960
<v Speaker 4>idiot regardless.

1:02:28.080 --> 1:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he kind of had a chip on his shoulder.

1:02:30.880 --> 1:02:32.800
<v Speaker 4>He had to fight his way through and.

1:02:35.320 --> 1:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>It was style of the time.

1:02:37.360 --> 1:02:41.520
<v Speaker 2>And what we heard from Robert Morgan is that Crockett

1:02:41.800 --> 1:02:46.800
<v Speaker 2>like emerged as you know, some would say America's first

1:02:47.120 --> 1:02:50.479
<v Speaker 2>big celebrity, that someone that was famous in their own time,

1:02:50.560 --> 1:02:53.320
<v Speaker 2>that knew about their fame, that interacted with their fame,

1:02:53.400 --> 1:02:57.280
<v Speaker 2>had plays made about them, had a global bestseller book,

1:02:58.040 --> 1:03:00.880
<v Speaker 2>and he the way he talked and the way he

1:03:00.920 --> 1:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>communicated impacted like the next hundred years of literature. And

1:03:06.120 --> 1:03:08.560
<v Speaker 2>he probably wasn't the only one like it, but he

1:03:08.760 --> 1:03:11.960
<v Speaker 2>was a big voice inside of that. So like him

1:03:12.000 --> 1:03:16.840
<v Speaker 2>just being verbose and talking about himself and jumping the

1:03:16.880 --> 1:03:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Ohio and whipping wildcats and all this stuff. Like I

1:03:21.960 --> 1:03:23.880
<v Speaker 2>don't think he was the one that created that. I

1:03:23.880 --> 1:03:26.800
<v Speaker 2>think he heard people like that on the American Frontier,

1:03:27.160 --> 1:03:29.880
<v Speaker 2>but he was the first guy that had a mouthpiece

1:03:30.680 --> 1:03:33.720
<v Speaker 2>that was talking like that. And you know, I think

1:03:33.720 --> 1:03:37.360
<v Speaker 2>he kind of he liked that and he probably took

1:03:37.360 --> 1:03:38.120
<v Speaker 2>it a little.

1:03:38.160 --> 1:03:41.480
<v Speaker 4>And then it gave probably one of the greatest storytellers

1:03:41.480 --> 1:03:46.880
<v Speaker 4>of all time, Sam Clemens, gave him a catapult to

1:03:47.440 --> 1:03:49.640
<v Speaker 4>move on and be Mark Twain.

1:03:49.840 --> 1:03:54.600
<v Speaker 6>Did he ever learn to read? Crockett? Yeah, yeah, he did.

1:03:54.600 --> 1:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>We missed that. That was a question of The next

1:03:56.600 --> 1:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>question was.

1:03:58.760 --> 1:04:01.160
<v Speaker 8>Well when you when you add could again almost ask

1:04:01.280 --> 1:04:02.560
<v Speaker 8>it like, did he ever learn to read?

1:04:03.200 --> 1:04:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Is that really one of the questions?

1:04:06.200 --> 1:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Damn bonus point?

1:04:08.000 --> 1:04:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Canada? When the Quakers Canaday? Was this like really

1:04:16.360 --> 1:04:19.480
<v Speaker 2>straight laced influence in Crockett's life. Crockett was just like

1:04:19.520 --> 1:04:22.160
<v Speaker 2>a poverty stricken rough back.

1:04:22.200 --> 1:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you get the feeling. His dad really loved

1:04:24.400 --> 1:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>party animal.

1:04:25.200 --> 1:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>But his dad was a rough man, just like a

1:04:28.520 --> 1:04:35.480
<v Speaker 2>rough old just frontiersman, pushed through poverty, was constantly running

1:04:35.560 --> 1:04:39.480
<v Speaker 2>from being bankrupt and crisis after crisis. His dad had

1:04:39.560 --> 1:04:42.400
<v Speaker 2>grist mill man. Pretty much in American history if you

1:04:42.440 --> 1:04:45.280
<v Speaker 2>read about here's a hot tip. If you're reading about

1:04:45.280 --> 1:04:48.440
<v Speaker 2>American history and you see and then they borrowed some

1:04:48.480 --> 1:04:50.920
<v Speaker 2>money to have a grist mill, Guarantee it's.

1:04:50.760 --> 1:04:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Gonna get washed away in a flood. Calls him to

1:04:53.040 --> 1:04:55.480
<v Speaker 1>go bankrupt. Happened.

1:04:56.040 --> 1:04:56.320
<v Speaker 6>Happened.

1:04:56.960 --> 1:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Happened to every single person that ever had a gristmill.

1:04:59.760 --> 1:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>So we don't get into that business.

1:05:01.280 --> 1:05:05.120
<v Speaker 2>But Canaday was a big influence on Crockett, that kind

1:05:05.120 --> 1:05:08.760
<v Speaker 2>of and there's been people like that identified with that,

1:05:08.880 --> 1:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>like people I made a statement about how people outside

1:05:12.320 --> 1:05:15.680
<v Speaker 2>of your immediate family when you're in this influential age,

1:05:15.720 --> 1:05:19.200
<v Speaker 2>really do influence I know men that and not that

1:05:19.280 --> 1:05:21.840
<v Speaker 2>your family does something wrong, but you're just family. It's

1:05:21.880 --> 1:05:24.160
<v Speaker 2>like you come out with this worldview from your family

1:05:24.480 --> 1:05:27.320
<v Speaker 2>and then you kind of you see there's other ways

1:05:27.320 --> 1:05:31.600
<v Speaker 2>to do things. Okay, Question number five, what European capital

1:05:31.600 --> 1:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>city did Crockett almost sail to at the age of fourteen?

1:05:35.160 --> 1:05:36.760
<v Speaker 6>Pairs wrong?

1:05:38.320 --> 1:05:38.720
<v Speaker 7>London?

1:05:39.200 --> 1:05:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Bam, mister Knutan with one H Crockett. We were like,

1:05:43.760 --> 1:05:49.400
<v Speaker 2>literally Crockett's the guy krogg was working with physically restrained

1:05:49.480 --> 1:05:51.440
<v Speaker 2>him from getting on a boat and sailing to London.

1:05:51.600 --> 1:05:53.160
<v Speaker 2>And who knows, he may have got over there and

1:05:53.280 --> 1:05:55.840
<v Speaker 2>stayed and never come back. This is interesting when he

1:05:55.880 --> 1:05:59.520
<v Speaker 2>was just a kid. Okay, Mark Twain was born how

1:05:59.600 --> 1:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>many months before Crockett died at the Alamo.

1:06:03.000 --> 1:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>If you remember, Oh.

1:06:04.160 --> 1:06:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I talked about how their lives overlapped four

1:06:07.720 --> 1:06:08.479
<v Speaker 2>Who said that.

1:06:09.200 --> 1:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Brent Reeves four months?

1:06:12.280 --> 1:06:15.400
<v Speaker 6>So what was like a ten Mark Twain.

1:06:15.760 --> 1:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Got Davy Crockett.

1:06:17.760 --> 1:06:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Their lives overlapped by four months. I'm fascinated by thinking

1:06:23.200 --> 1:06:26.120
<v Speaker 2>about our lifespans. And you know I talked about I

1:06:26.200 --> 1:06:27.439
<v Speaker 2>was born in nineteen seventy nine.

1:06:28.240 --> 1:06:30.720
<v Speaker 1>You do the math. I mean, if somebody was eighty

1:06:30.800 --> 1:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>years old.

1:06:31.440 --> 1:06:35.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, my great grandfather who I knew well, was

1:06:35.320 --> 1:06:37.920
<v Speaker 3>born in eighteen ninety eight. Wow, and I'd love to

1:06:37.920 --> 1:06:41.000
<v Speaker 3>listen to him to the stories pretty amazing.

1:06:41.680 --> 1:06:45.040
<v Speaker 2>So think about I mean, if that were extrapolated back,

1:06:46.480 --> 1:06:48.240
<v Speaker 2>how much older was he than you?

1:06:48.800 --> 1:06:49.400
<v Speaker 6>Well, he was.

1:06:49.760 --> 1:06:54.560
<v Speaker 3>He would have been ninety ninety six when he died,

1:06:54.600 --> 1:06:58.320
<v Speaker 3>and that was probably nineteen ninety two, so.

1:06:58.320 --> 1:06:59.720
<v Speaker 2>You would have been like ten, So he would have

1:06:59.760 --> 1:07:01.240
<v Speaker 2>been like eighty something years older than.

1:07:01.200 --> 1:07:03.200
<v Speaker 3>Nineteen ninety two. I was sixteen.

1:07:04.640 --> 1:07:08.200
<v Speaker 1>So what I'm saying is what I'm saying is is.

1:07:08.240 --> 1:07:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Seventy six, seventy six, seventy oh yeah he was. He

1:07:12.440 --> 1:07:16.240
<v Speaker 3>was eighty eighty eighty eight years older.

1:07:16.320 --> 1:07:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Now what the math I'm trying to do though, is

1:07:18.360 --> 1:07:21.400
<v Speaker 2>if he was born in eighteen ninety eight and he

1:07:21.480 --> 1:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>was ten years old. He would have could have been

1:07:24.560 --> 1:07:27.880
<v Speaker 2>interacting with people born in the eighteen thirties or something.

1:07:27.960 --> 1:07:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:07:28.840 --> 1:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh, so technically he could have known men that would

1:07:32.840 --> 1:07:35.160
<v Speaker 2>have grown and Davy Crockett.

1:07:35.240 --> 1:07:38.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well yeah, you could go like if you go

1:07:38.120 --> 1:07:41.840
<v Speaker 4>eighty years back, say like our World War two guys, yep,

1:07:43.040 --> 1:07:45.440
<v Speaker 4>those you go eighty years back from that, and that

1:07:45.560 --> 1:07:48.000
<v Speaker 4>was Civil War guys. And you go eighty years back

1:07:48.000 --> 1:07:51.200
<v Speaker 4>from that, and it's the independence. And so if you

1:07:51.360 --> 1:07:54.280
<v Speaker 4>take that, because we got two hundred and fiftieth anniversary

1:07:54.280 --> 1:07:58.840
<v Speaker 4>coming up, we're not that far removed from the founding

1:07:58.920 --> 1:08:03.040
<v Speaker 4>fathers of this country. Which that's some pretty amazing history

1:08:03.400 --> 1:08:05.000
<v Speaker 4>if you just sit back and think about it for

1:08:05.040 --> 1:08:07.200
<v Speaker 4>a minute. And so I'm right there with you. I

1:08:07.480 --> 1:08:09.200
<v Speaker 4>think this is amazing. The overlap.

1:08:09.680 --> 1:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you don't think.

1:08:11.280 --> 1:08:13.880
<v Speaker 2>You think you hear the eighteen hundreds and it's like

1:08:13.960 --> 1:08:15.520
<v Speaker 2>that might as well have been like.

1:08:16.240 --> 1:08:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Dinosaur ten thousand, but it's not.

1:08:19.280 --> 1:08:24.080
<v Speaker 8>I was sixteen or seventeen when my great grandfather died

1:08:24.160 --> 1:08:27.639
<v Speaker 8>and he was born in eighteen ninety one. Really, yep,

1:08:27.680 --> 1:08:30.439
<v Speaker 8>I'm sitting there. I just did the census thing, so

1:08:30.640 --> 1:08:35.799
<v Speaker 8>years I couldn't remember great grandfather, my great grandfather the same.

1:08:36.080 --> 1:08:38.720
<v Speaker 3>The same difference in age between your great grandfather my.

1:08:38.680 --> 1:08:42.120
<v Speaker 6>Greatgrand he was born in eighteen ninety one.

1:08:43.240 --> 1:08:47.840
<v Speaker 5>Your daughter's knew they're great. Well on my side, they're

1:08:48.280 --> 1:08:53.080
<v Speaker 5>they're great great grandparents held them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe

1:08:53.080 --> 1:08:57.040
<v Speaker 5>it was my great grandparents, right, and they're yeah, that's

1:08:57.120 --> 1:08:57.760
<v Speaker 5>that's pretty cool.

1:08:57.760 --> 1:08:58.479
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty cool.

1:08:58.680 --> 1:09:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So the score is is two one one.

1:09:05.520 --> 1:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Three one. How do you get Joe's one? Josh is three?

1:09:08.920 --> 1:09:09.519
<v Speaker 1>Misty one?

1:09:09.840 --> 1:09:10.559
<v Speaker 3>How many questions?

1:09:10.600 --> 1:09:10.880
<v Speaker 6>Two?

1:09:11.400 --> 1:09:15.120
<v Speaker 2>There are two questions left? Two questions left? What was

1:09:15.120 --> 1:09:19.160
<v Speaker 2>the name of Crockett's first rifle forty eight? Who said

1:09:19.200 --> 1:09:19.840
<v Speaker 2>it first?

1:09:21.479 --> 1:09:22.240
<v Speaker 6>Jose A cheater?

1:09:23.880 --> 1:09:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry making it up the World championship? What's up?

1:09:29.920 --> 1:09:31.200
<v Speaker 4>It was named after his sister.

1:09:31.280 --> 1:09:33.760
<v Speaker 3>It was named after his sister, but it wasn't him

1:09:33.800 --> 1:09:34.479
<v Speaker 3>that named it.

1:09:34.920 --> 1:09:38.360
<v Speaker 6>Well, yeah, well that wasn't the question.

1:09:39.280 --> 1:09:42.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, he did call his rifle Betsy, Okay, so he

1:09:42.600 --> 1:09:47.760
<v Speaker 2>called he He did officially call his rifle Betsy, but

1:09:47.840 --> 1:09:50.400
<v Speaker 2>the rifle that I actually got to hold in Knoxville

1:09:51.560 --> 1:09:54.559
<v Speaker 2>was not likely the rifle that he called Betsy.

1:09:55.080 --> 1:09:58.720
<v Speaker 5>Did he call all ye in the podcast, it was

1:09:58.880 --> 1:10:00.200
<v Speaker 5>unclear you.

1:10:00.240 --> 1:10:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Get this is more where you get into the mythology,

1:10:02.720 --> 1:10:09.160
<v Speaker 2>because really the only hard, hard evidence, the primary source

1:10:09.280 --> 1:10:11.240
<v Speaker 2>data that you have about David Crockett is that book

1:10:11.320 --> 1:10:13.759
<v Speaker 2>right there, a narrative of the Life of David Crockett

1:10:13.880 --> 1:10:17.200
<v Speaker 2>by David Crockett. And he never mentions Betsy in that book.

1:10:17.280 --> 1:10:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Didn't Yeah, he didn't talk about Betsy. But you know,

1:10:21.600 --> 1:10:23.519
<v Speaker 2>there were a lot of people that knew Crockett that

1:10:23.600 --> 1:10:27.640
<v Speaker 2>wrote about him that would would have brought just like

1:10:27.720 --> 1:10:28.360
<v Speaker 2>fest Parker.

1:10:29.120 --> 1:10:31.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it looks just like Daniel Boone to me.

1:10:32.720 --> 1:10:38.320
<v Speaker 1>So what did y'all think about? Was it cool in

1:10:38.640 --> 1:10:40.000
<v Speaker 1>m j oh?

1:10:40.080 --> 1:10:41.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

1:10:42.600 --> 1:10:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Was that a good one?

1:10:44.000 --> 1:10:47.280
<v Speaker 2>That was I live for being able to do stuff

1:10:47.320 --> 1:10:49.960
<v Speaker 2>like that on a podcast, like put Michael Jordan on

1:10:50.000 --> 1:10:53.799
<v Speaker 2>there and do some really deep metaphor analogy that probably

1:10:53.800 --> 1:10:54.719
<v Speaker 2>nobody gets.

1:10:55.120 --> 1:10:58.240
<v Speaker 4>But I actually took it a step further and I

1:10:58.280 --> 1:11:00.760
<v Speaker 4>had to research O Betsy a little bit more, and

1:11:00.800 --> 1:11:05.040
<v Speaker 4>I watched I watched YouTube video and seeing the rifle

1:11:05.320 --> 1:11:07.599
<v Speaker 4>and where they talked about they had to reconstruct the

1:11:07.640 --> 1:11:10.639
<v Speaker 4>forearm of the rifle and because it was in such

1:11:10.880 --> 1:11:17.000
<v Speaker 4>bad state whenever he purchased it. Yeah, pretty interesting whole deal.

1:11:17.160 --> 1:11:20.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you can sit and watch YouTube videos for

1:11:20.160 --> 1:11:23.479
<v Speaker 4>about ten hours on a Sunday on Davy Crockett if.

1:11:23.439 --> 1:11:23.840
<v Speaker 6>You want to.

1:11:24.200 --> 1:11:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you saw Joe Swan I did. He's on

1:11:26.720 --> 1:11:27.320
<v Speaker 2>the internet.

1:11:27.479 --> 1:11:29.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, all over it. Man.

1:11:29.160 --> 1:11:33.240
<v Speaker 2>He is a really nice guy. He and his son

1:11:33.320 --> 1:11:38.599
<v Speaker 2>were like super nice guys, really genuine, really just loved

1:11:38.640 --> 1:11:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Crockett their whole life.

1:11:40.040 --> 1:11:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean Joe did. Joe's probably in his seventies.

1:11:42.439 --> 1:11:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and yeah, it was interesting how he got that rifle.

1:11:47.520 --> 1:11:48.679
<v Speaker 6>You still have the ram Rod?

1:11:49.120 --> 1:11:50.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know if it's the original.

1:11:51.920 --> 1:11:54.559
<v Speaker 4>What would you say would be the thing that you

1:11:54.720 --> 1:11:57.280
<v Speaker 4>have in your possession that'd be as close to him

1:11:57.320 --> 1:12:02.040
<v Speaker 4>owning that rifle anybody has. Anybody got a piece of history,

1:12:02.400 --> 1:12:02.600
<v Speaker 4>you know.

1:12:03.040 --> 1:12:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Now this doesn't count totally. Somebody else can go after me,

1:12:06.600 --> 1:12:09.240
<v Speaker 2>but in some ways it does. Right behind you, about

1:12:09.240 --> 1:12:12.960
<v Speaker 2>three feet from you, is a flintlock musloader that James

1:12:13.080 --> 1:12:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Lawrence gave me, my old time hero. He's still alive,

1:12:18.360 --> 1:12:21.040
<v Speaker 2>but he gave me that his old Hawk and fifty

1:12:21.080 --> 1:12:25.479
<v Speaker 2>caliber several years ago. That's special to me. It happens

1:12:25.479 --> 1:12:26.960
<v Speaker 2>to be a flint lock that had.

1:12:26.800 --> 1:12:28.320
<v Speaker 6>To be our family bible.

1:12:28.439 --> 1:12:32.720
<v Speaker 8>It was printed in eighteen thirty six and it's got

1:12:32.840 --> 1:12:36.439
<v Speaker 8>dates in there written of people born in the late

1:12:36.479 --> 1:12:40.040
<v Speaker 8>seventeen hundreds when they purchased that bible and started writing

1:12:40.800 --> 1:12:42.000
<v Speaker 8>the Reeves family history.

1:12:42.240 --> 1:12:43.040
<v Speaker 6>And I've got that.

1:12:43.040 --> 1:12:44.320
<v Speaker 4>That would be that's pretty big.

1:12:44.600 --> 1:12:47.960
<v Speaker 7>Interesting is have you seen my wedding ring?

1:12:48.280 --> 1:12:50.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was gonna say, I did say. My wife's

1:12:50.520 --> 1:12:55.639
<v Speaker 3>wedding ring has has diamonds from my great grandmother, both

1:12:55.720 --> 1:12:58.680
<v Speaker 3>my maternal and paternal grandmothers, and one for me.

1:13:00.560 --> 1:13:04.400
<v Speaker 4>I've got an old single shot four to ten. It's

1:13:04.400 --> 1:13:06.080
<v Speaker 4>a fold over like you can put it in the

1:13:06.120 --> 1:13:09.160
<v Speaker 4>saddle bag. It's got a notch in that's in the

1:13:09.160 --> 1:13:12.200
<v Speaker 4>butt stock where the trigger guard slides in there. Oh

1:13:12.400 --> 1:13:15.920
<v Speaker 4>that my great grandmother used to shoot at rats in

1:13:15.960 --> 1:13:21.800
<v Speaker 4>the dairy bar. And uh, I've got that hung up

1:13:21.840 --> 1:13:25.920
<v Speaker 4>on the wall. I think that's family history wise, that's

1:13:25.960 --> 1:13:29.160
<v Speaker 4>probably the most important one that I got, short of

1:13:29.240 --> 1:13:31.479
<v Speaker 4>my grandpa's cowboy had That means a lot to me

1:13:31.560 --> 1:13:31.960
<v Speaker 4>as well.

1:13:32.040 --> 1:13:33.960
<v Speaker 1>But nice, it's a good question.

1:13:34.960 --> 1:13:41.599
<v Speaker 2>So the score is Brent three, Misty one, Josh three,

1:13:41.680 --> 1:13:42.599
<v Speaker 2>You're still three two.

1:13:42.760 --> 1:13:43.439
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's a.

1:13:44.920 --> 1:13:46.679
<v Speaker 6>I thought you said you had seven questions?

1:13:47.120 --> 1:13:48.800
<v Speaker 3>You get you get a third question?

1:13:49.680 --> 1:13:51.080
<v Speaker 6>Right? You did not?

1:13:51.680 --> 1:13:54.880
<v Speaker 3>Joe, You've got to. Joe's got to I've got three.

1:13:55.320 --> 1:13:55.960
<v Speaker 6>You're a cheater.

1:13:56.080 --> 1:13:57.559
<v Speaker 3>That's okay, calling you out?

1:13:57.760 --> 1:14:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Wow wow, words words.

1:14:01.600 --> 1:14:03.320
<v Speaker 6>If that was a final.

1:14:03.080 --> 1:14:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Question and this would be a tie breaker potentially, or

1:14:06.400 --> 1:14:08.200
<v Speaker 2>we may just have to go for a tie or.

1:14:10.600 --> 1:14:12.080
<v Speaker 6>Okay.

1:14:12.960 --> 1:14:18.960
<v Speaker 2>In the podcast, I talked about what part of the

1:14:18.960 --> 1:14:24.800
<v Speaker 2>bear did Hunters and Crocketts time bladder? I am Joe

1:14:25.479 --> 1:14:30.360
<v Speaker 2>to transport the rendered barrel and the answer was a

1:14:30.520 --> 1:14:31.799
<v Speaker 2>dry bladder.

1:14:32.520 --> 1:14:33.200
<v Speaker 6>That's true. Time.

1:14:34.880 --> 1:14:36.920
<v Speaker 1>We got a three three part time Misty. Can you

1:14:36.960 --> 1:14:38.759
<v Speaker 1>think of a question a tie breaking question?

1:14:39.000 --> 1:14:42.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah? What about with that? Can I just go ahead

1:14:42.160 --> 1:14:42.479
<v Speaker 7>and ask it?

1:14:42.600 --> 1:14:42.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

1:14:42.960 --> 1:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>This is tie breaker. Whoever gets it wins.

1:14:45.439 --> 1:14:49.679
<v Speaker 7>I'm thinking about he's got to cheater.

1:14:49.960 --> 1:14:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I think he's got three.

1:14:51.920 --> 1:14:52.599
<v Speaker 3>How many questions?

1:14:52.600 --> 1:14:53.000
<v Speaker 6>Have we had?

1:14:53.080 --> 1:14:55.400
<v Speaker 3>Nine questions? I don't know.

1:14:55.640 --> 1:15:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. You got a question when was he jilted?

1:15:01.080 --> 1:15:01.719
<v Speaker 7>And by who?

1:15:02.200 --> 1:15:02.439
<v Speaker 6>When?

1:15:03.240 --> 1:15:04.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know the answer to that.

1:15:04.600 --> 1:15:07.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't know that was that was?

1:15:08.360 --> 1:15:09.400
<v Speaker 6>That was a Quaker game?

1:15:09.960 --> 1:15:14.040
<v Speaker 3>Did it say what year? No, he was seventeen? Was

1:15:14.080 --> 1:15:19.000

<v Speaker 7>I got one the night before his wedding is what

1:15:24.760 --> 1:15:25.120
<v Speaker 7>I would have?

1:15:25.840 --> 1:15:26.360
<v Speaker 4>That's true.

1:15:26.479 --> 1:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>What is the name of Crocketts first one? Polly is

1:15:31.360 --> 1:15:32.719
<v Speaker 1>our winner around.

1:15:32.720 --> 1:15:33.360
<v Speaker 4>He's going to get.

1:15:36.680 --> 1:15:39.040
<v Speaker 1>The bottle of Wilsonshire saw.

1:15:45.960 --> 1:15:48.400
<v Speaker 4>I'll autograph it.

1:15:48.600 --> 1:15:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Joe. Joe's face is on the bottle of wilson Shire.

1:15:52.560 --> 1:15:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I love it.

1:15:53.760 --> 1:15:58.000
<v Speaker 2>It's got cowboy hat, big mustache. It was a right

1:15:58.080 --> 1:15:59.360
<v Speaker 2>marketing move for your face.

1:15:59.479 --> 1:16:01.559
<v Speaker 3>Can I tell you my favorite part of the podcast? Yes,

1:16:01.960 --> 1:16:04.559
<v Speaker 3>my favorite part of the podcast was when he showed

1:16:04.640 --> 1:16:07.320
<v Speaker 3>up when he was I don't I don't remember what

1:16:07.760 --> 1:16:11.160
<v Speaker 3>after he had worked for Canada fifteen Is that after

1:16:11.200 --> 1:16:13.519
<v Speaker 3>he worked for Canada, when he when he had the

1:16:13.520 --> 1:16:17.240
<v Speaker 3>forty dollars bond and he walked back and he set

1:16:17.240 --> 1:16:19.080
<v Speaker 3>it down in front of his dad and his dad said,

1:16:19.400 --> 1:16:22.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't have money for that, and he said, I

1:16:22.040 --> 1:16:25.439
<v Speaker 3>took care of it. I was like that, that's the

1:16:25.520 --> 1:16:28.439
<v Speaker 3>kind of thing that like, well, first of all, it

1:16:29.200 --> 1:16:31.320
<v Speaker 3>pulls at the heartstrings a little bit because I loved

1:16:31.400 --> 1:16:34.600
<v Speaker 3>the sacrifice and commitment. I mean this is for a

1:16:34.680 --> 1:16:36.479
<v Speaker 3>dad who bonded you out.

1:16:36.600 --> 1:16:37.679
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you know what I mean.

1:16:38.760 --> 1:16:43.800
<v Speaker 3>But just the commitment and then the lack of I mean,

1:16:43.840 --> 1:16:46.640
<v Speaker 3>he could have done it and been been you know,

1:16:46.720 --> 1:16:50.000
<v Speaker 3>held a grudge about it, but he didn't. And and

1:16:50.040 --> 1:16:52.200
<v Speaker 3>I love that it said that his dad, who was

1:16:52.760 --> 1:16:56.520
<v Speaker 3>who repeatedly was referred to as a you know, the

1:16:56.520 --> 1:17:02.280
<v Speaker 3>the what was the name of the Irish ulster Scott. Yeah, yes, yes,

1:17:03.400 --> 1:17:05.040
<v Speaker 3>would have been a rough man. I mean he ran

1:17:05.120 --> 1:17:08.960
<v Speaker 3>a tavern that he shed many tears over that. I

1:17:09.000 --> 1:17:14.839
<v Speaker 3>thought that's the kind of thing that that after years

1:17:14.880 --> 1:17:17.640
<v Speaker 3>of I'm sure they probably didn't have a great relationship,

1:17:17.680 --> 1:17:21.120
<v Speaker 3>that's the kind of thing that that builds a bond there,

1:17:21.479 --> 1:17:24.360
<v Speaker 3>that makes that father and son dynamic.

1:17:24.960 --> 1:17:28.040
<v Speaker 8>Right, it was the right thing to do. I go

1:17:28.120 --> 1:17:32.840
<v Speaker 8>back to that talking about that too, Josh. It was

1:17:32.920 --> 1:17:36.080
<v Speaker 8>just I think it was a I don't think it

1:17:36.120 --> 1:17:38.040
<v Speaker 8>was an anomaly. There was probably a lot of that

1:17:38.040 --> 1:17:41.080
<v Speaker 8>stuff going on. He was just unfortunate enough to be

1:17:41.160 --> 1:17:43.439
<v Speaker 8>one of the out of that litter of nine, wasn't

1:17:43.439 --> 1:17:47.960
<v Speaker 8>it nine that that had to go pay that off?

1:17:48.200 --> 1:17:49.960
<v Speaker 8>So I think it was the right thing.

1:17:50.000 --> 1:17:50.559
<v Speaker 1>I felt like.

1:17:52.720 --> 1:17:55.599
<v Speaker 2>So every most people, maybe not most people, a lot

1:17:55.640 --> 1:17:58.120
<v Speaker 2>of people would know the high points of Crockett's life.

1:17:59.439 --> 1:18:01.680
<v Speaker 2>When you're trying to tell a big story like this,

1:18:02.120 --> 1:18:04.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's some things you just have to leave

1:18:04.240 --> 1:18:06.080
<v Speaker 2>out and.

1:18:06.240 --> 1:18:07.519
<v Speaker 1>Some things you want to add in.

1:18:07.840 --> 1:18:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I felt like everybody knows a lot of the big

1:18:12.000 --> 1:18:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Crocket stuff, but his childhood, actually what made him who

1:18:17.040 --> 1:18:19.360
<v Speaker 2>he was, I felt like was really important.

1:18:19.960 --> 1:18:21.479
<v Speaker 1>And I actually kind of felt.

1:18:21.320 --> 1:18:24.719
<v Speaker 2>Like maybe this podcast would be a little boring because

1:18:24.760 --> 1:18:27.320
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of like small stuff, Like, you know, I

1:18:27.360 --> 1:18:32.200
<v Speaker 2>included when he took that canoe across the river. He

1:18:32.240 --> 1:18:34.880
<v Speaker 2>included that in his autobiography. Basically, I just went through

1:18:34.880 --> 1:18:38.240
<v Speaker 2>the autobiography and included most of the not maybe not

1:18:38.320 --> 1:18:42.080
<v Speaker 2>even most, but some percentage of the stories. I wanted

1:18:42.120 --> 1:18:45.920
<v Speaker 2>to include the stuff about his dad. I wanted to

1:18:45.960 --> 1:18:48.639
<v Speaker 2>include the stuff about him coming home and no one

1:18:49.000 --> 1:18:52.280
<v Speaker 2>recognizing him. You remember that, Yeah, Like he walks back

1:18:52.320 --> 1:18:55.720
<v Speaker 2>into his own house, Ye, gets a room from one

1:18:55.760 --> 1:18:58.800
<v Speaker 2>of his family members, sets down at the table in

1:18:58.840 --> 1:18:59.960
<v Speaker 2>one of his sister's.

1:18:59.640 --> 1:19:02.559
<v Speaker 4>Record because he had matured so much.

1:19:02.680 --> 1:19:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, and and he and Crockett, to his own detriment,

1:19:07.640 --> 1:19:10.880
<v Speaker 2>always showed his cards in a genuine way. He said,

1:19:10.920 --> 1:19:13.759
<v Speaker 2>he said, when they embraced me, and my dad embraced

1:19:13.760 --> 1:19:15.759
<v Speaker 2>me even though he was mad at me when I left,

1:19:16.040 --> 1:19:17.800
<v Speaker 2>and he said, it made me wish I had never

1:19:17.920 --> 1:19:21.599
<v Speaker 2>put them through all this stuff. When Crockett was jilted

1:19:21.840 --> 1:19:24.320
<v Speaker 2>the day before his wedding, and and I'm saying this

1:19:24.439 --> 1:19:29.639
<v Speaker 2>because the next episode you see Crockett's blunder, which Crockett

1:19:29.680 --> 1:19:43.480
<v Speaker 2>did kind of screw his life up eventually. Yeah, Crockett, Uh,

1:19:43.880 --> 1:19:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Like when he talked about getting jilted. I listened to

1:19:47.280 --> 1:19:51.440
<v Speaker 2>that part today and he went into great detail, vulnerable

1:19:51.520 --> 1:19:56.000
<v Speaker 2>detail in his autobiography about how it hurt him when

1:19:56.040 --> 1:20:01.200
<v Speaker 2>this this woman left him, like literally the day.

1:20:00.040 --> 1:20:02.719
<v Speaker 6>I just brushed over it, like.

1:20:03.560 --> 1:20:06.720
<v Speaker 2>He was a man just like any of us. And

1:20:07.080 --> 1:20:09.720
<v Speaker 2>I that's what's cool about Crockett. You don't know that

1:20:09.760 --> 1:20:12.599
<v Speaker 2>stuff about Boone nothing. It's a mystery. It's a mystery

1:20:12.640 --> 1:20:16.880
<v Speaker 2>what went on with Boone and and but Krogett you

1:20:16.920 --> 1:20:23.400
<v Speaker 2>see him full, full scale, and he represented a an

1:20:23.600 --> 1:20:27.479
<v Speaker 2>archetype really of manhood in America and the frontier that

1:20:27.680 --> 1:20:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I believe today is still active, for better or worse.

1:20:32.280 --> 1:20:34.200
<v Speaker 2>That's why these things are so interesting to me because

1:20:34.240 --> 1:20:37.320
<v Speaker 2>It's like we wake up and are born into something

1:20:37.720 --> 1:20:41.600
<v Speaker 2>that tells us what has value. And that's why I

1:20:41.600 --> 1:20:44.320
<v Speaker 2>think this stuff is interesting to look back at why

1:20:44.400 --> 1:20:45.439
<v Speaker 2>we think the way we think.

1:20:45.640 --> 1:20:49.560
<v Speaker 1>And obviously people like us people.

1:20:49.280 --> 1:20:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Connected to hunting specifically, but just rural America. And it's

1:20:53.960 --> 1:20:56.679
<v Speaker 2>not just hunters that are connected to Crockett. I mean

1:20:56.760 --> 1:21:00.559
<v Speaker 2>he set a template for a lot of different stuff.

1:21:00.560 --> 1:21:05.479
<v Speaker 2>But I like to learn where you know are Well,

1:21:06.080 --> 1:21:07.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get into more.

1:21:08.080 --> 1:21:10.599
<v Speaker 7>Ei, We're gonna get into Yeah.

1:21:10.640 --> 1:21:15.000
<v Speaker 2>So closing comments, Joe, it's been great to have you man,

1:21:15.160 --> 1:21:17.960
<v Speaker 2>really so it was so good hearing about the Squirrel

<v Speaker 6>Yep.

1:21:23.720 --> 1:21:25.800
<v Speaker 2>I've got a trip, but I think I'm going to

1:21:25.840 --> 1:21:27.639
<v Speaker 2>be back by that time.

1:21:28.200 --> 1:21:31.800
<v Speaker 4>Well, we'd love to have all your listeners. And like

1:21:31.800 --> 1:21:34.160
<v Speaker 4>I say, they could pay attention to that Facebook page.

1:21:34.160 --> 1:21:36.800
<v Speaker 4>That's I'm old school. I don't have all the other

1:21:36.840 --> 1:21:40.000
<v Speaker 4>ones all right, but on Facebook he could look up

1:21:40.080 --> 1:21:44.840
<v Speaker 4>the World Champions Squirrel Cookoff and hey, could I give

1:21:45.160 --> 1:21:48.720
<v Speaker 4>We also have a podcast, yes, absolutely. Our podcast is

1:21:48.760 --> 1:21:51.240
<v Speaker 4>called cooking Up a Story and we try to put

1:21:51.280 --> 1:21:56.520
<v Speaker 4>faces on common people. And because so many people get overlooked,

1:21:56.600 --> 1:21:59.480
<v Speaker 4>we don't pay attention to the guy that makes the doughnuts.

1:22:00.240 --> 1:22:03.160
<v Speaker 4>We don't know who that person is. So we drag

1:22:03.240 --> 1:22:06.519
<v Speaker 4>in common people and we dig deep into their start

1:22:06.560 --> 1:22:09.000
<v Speaker 4>of their life all the way up to current and

1:22:10.000 --> 1:22:11.519
<v Speaker 4>we get better because of it.

1:22:11.680 --> 1:22:14.920
<v Speaker 2>So it's a really neat podcast. Yeah, what was the

1:22:14.960 --> 1:22:15.840
<v Speaker 2>one you sent me?

1:22:16.120 --> 1:22:19.559
<v Speaker 4>I sent you the donut Man. Yeah, and so I

1:22:19.640 --> 1:22:21.880
<v Speaker 4>had a curiosity why every time I went to the

1:22:21.920 --> 1:22:24.680
<v Speaker 4>donut shop there was an Asian guy making my donuts.

1:22:25.360 --> 1:22:29.639
<v Speaker 4>And come to find out, they're all Cambodian. And this

1:22:29.680 --> 1:22:33.400
<v Speaker 4>guy had survived the killing fields. He was a Buddhist monk.

1:22:34.120 --> 1:22:39.920
<v Speaker 4>He was enslaved several times in his life, and he

1:22:40.320 --> 1:22:42.600
<v Speaker 4>prayed to Jesus, wound up in New York City and

1:22:42.680 --> 1:22:44.840
<v Speaker 4>become an American as a Buddhist.

1:22:45.479 --> 1:22:47.520
<v Speaker 1>That episode is phenomenal.

1:22:47.920 --> 1:22:49.320
<v Speaker 4>It's uh yeah, and.

1:22:49.360 --> 1:22:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Joe, he's given you the short version, which is good.

1:22:52.360 --> 1:22:56.880
<v Speaker 2>But basically, Joe just said a stereotype that anybody in

1:22:56.920 --> 1:23:00.719
<v Speaker 2>America would probably recognize that a lot of donut shops

1:23:00.760 --> 1:23:01.880
<v Speaker 2>are run by Asian people.

1:23:01.920 --> 1:23:04.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's not like that's just it happens.

1:23:05.600 --> 1:23:09.719
<v Speaker 2>Joe went to his local donut shop and just interviewed

1:23:09.760 --> 1:23:13.080
<v Speaker 2>the guy that owned the shop. This is a short version,
