Do you know what that is? 45 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 4: I have no clue. 46 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: Your dog is as big as a horse.

It's at Halloween 52 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: or kind of a pumpkin patch kind of thing. And 53 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: your boy is behind him and he can barely be 54 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: seen because the dog is bigger than him. And your 55 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: daughter has her her hand on him, but it's like 56 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: putting your hand on the on a submarine. It's like 57 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: she couldn't stop him from moving if she wanted to. 58 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: His tongue is hanging out, and y'all both look exhausted 59 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: by trying to corral him into a photo. 60 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 4: That is the very accurate description of every day. 61 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: Yes, he is glorious. I love I love the photos 62 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: of Harry Potter. Make sure he's in every family photo. 63 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: All right, what did you call about, sweetheart? 64 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 5: So I did call it that. 65 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 4: I've actually caught a carps before and it's a great story. 66 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 4: And again very serendipitous because today is a four year 67 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 4: anniversary of my sweet dad passing. And so when you 68 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 4: started talking about this, I went, oh, mister McBee, he 69 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 4: just Randy. I mean, he was just the greatest dad. 70 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 4: So I was a tomboy and I went fishing all 71 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,679 Speaker 4: the time. We would fish off of the Texas City 72 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 4: Dyke and one of our great and plashes bay and 73 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 4: all over Southeast Texas and one of our favorite fishes. Yeah, 74 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 4: one of our fish favorite fishing spots was American Legion 75 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 4: Parks there off of Murphy Road in Lexington. You're familiar 76 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 4: with that area. There's you've been over there a lot, 77 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 4: but it's they stalk that pond and so we used 78 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 4: to go there a lot. So you can still go 79 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 4: on the Texas Parks and Wildlife website and see they 80 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 4: stalk it with rainbow trout. But my dad, this is 81 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 4: before the internet, this was the early nineties or so, 82 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 4: found out that they also had carps. And I'm assuming 83 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 4: this is the same fish that you're talking about, because 84 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 4: he was really intrigued because they get so big, and 85 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 4: he really wanted me to catch a big fish. You know, 86 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 4: we'd caught flounder and stuff like that. So he was like, 87 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 4: I want you to just catch a real big fish. 88 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 4: This is gonna be the one. So he bought some 89 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 4: books and read up on how to fish them. So 90 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 4: one Friday night we put together we make you. He 91 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 4: found this recipe for the bake. You mix together big 92 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 4: red and cornflakes and make them into balls. And actually 93 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 4: we were like this is so gross. You know, we 94 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 4: did a couple of times other bread over with you 95 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 4: are doing it smells kind of sweet, almost like vitamins. 96 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 4: So you mix that up into balls. You go out 97 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 4: to where you've done a fish the night before and 98 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 4: you put out dear pellets. You put out dear like dear, 99 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 4: you put out pelletts. Dump that in the water. So 100 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 4: then the next morning you got to get there really 101 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 4: early because you got to keep your spot, you know there, 102 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 4: so if somebody takes your spot, you know, a you're off. 103 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 4: So we got up early the next morning and got 104 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 4: out there, and sure enough I caught probably he was 105 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 4: about two and a half feet long. Their bottom fears 106 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 4: because they eat the grass, you know, so they he 107 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 4: was about two and a half feet long. That that 108 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 4: big carp I got to catch that day. I got 109 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 4: my big fish. A carp brought it home. You could 110 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 4: you could take them home, so we. 111 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: Brought him home. 112 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 4: They got lots of pictures with them, and I got 113 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 4: my big fish and big carts that day. 114 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,119 Speaker 1: Heather, you are exhibit A in what I have said 115 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: to men for years.

That was done. 172 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: I was are you black about it? 173 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: No? 174 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: I'm not, Oh, I thought you said they pulled the. 175 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 5: Well the landlord was. She worked for Sila Jackson Lee 176 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 5: at one point, the attorney was white and the judge 177 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 5: was black. 178 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,359 Speaker 1: So two whites against two blacks. 179 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 5: Okay, Well, but he was for the other white person 180 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 5: was the Lmord's representative, okay? 181 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: And what religion was he? Could you tell? 182 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 5: Maybe he spoke to the devil? I don't know, Okay. 183 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 5: I couldn't tell you that, Okay. So I was adamant 184 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 5: about what day was it, what time of the day, 185 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 5: what was I wearing? What was the conversation? What led 186 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 5: up to that? She said, when you were behind your 187 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 5: closed door, I was mopping the floor and you called 188 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 5: me that. The attorney spoke up and said, told you what? 189 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 5: And she said the N words, oh, nefarious. Now, I 190 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 5: always had the kitchen radio on seven point am, twenty 191 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 5: four hours a day. Whether the TV was on in 192 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 5: the living room or not, the kitchen radio was always on. 193 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 5: So she's expecting an ordinary person to hear her mopping 194 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 5: behind the closed door. No, it was her, by the 195 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 5: way she swung that mop, and by the way I 196 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 5: can see through walls and doors that are closed. So 197 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 5: I've sent a complaint to the Bar Association about the 198 00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 5: eternal I had a judicial I'm just complaint motorized yesterday. 199 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 5: I just haven't made my copies and I'll get it 200 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 5: in the mail this weekend.

So when 207 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 5: I called the court to ask them how much some 208 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 5: court reporters records which cost me, they said there are none. 209 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 5: I said, what do you mean there are none? She said, well, 210 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 5: neither party requested them prior to the hearings, so there 211 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 5: was no court reporter in a new cattle Cattle, I 212 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 5: had a fine box. 213 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 3: And Michael Barry, all right, don't let me forget to 214 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 3: tell you the bonnic circum story. 215 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: So I'm talking to my buddy three Hunt and he's 216 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: that said, what you're doing this weekend?

Have you you've seen these grass carps? 224 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: I said, no, tell me about it. You see, these 225 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: things can go up six feet long, fifty sixty pounds. 226 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: So I said, where'd you get it? Because remember we 227 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: had our buddy Ken was it Heckney Kopecney, the guy 228 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: from Howlettsville. He was Sheriff Friar's dad, Ken Hinnicky Ken Hinnikey. 229 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: He was my fisheries guy. That's who I bought everything from. 230 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: But I don't think they had grass carp back then. 231 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: But apparently the lady's name is Carol at Brenham Fisheries, 232 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: and Ray really liked her, so we have tracked her 233 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: down and found out she's a listener. Carol, Yes, sir, 234 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: welcome to the program. 235 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: Well, thank you. 236 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: So I asked Ray to call and clear the deck 237 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: for me to make my call. And he said that 238 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: you told him you're under oath, so be honest that 239 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: you don't normally listen till nine, but you would turn 240 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: in earlier, if you'd tune in earlier, if we were 241 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: going to be talking about you. Is that true? 242 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 2: Well, it is. I I've been listening to you since 243 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 2: your kids were in diapers. 244 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: Oh wow. 245 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 2: But the last several years I have not been as 246 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 2: faithful because I've been busier with the business. 247 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: So you know, that's like when that's like when people 248 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: tell me they used to tithe, but then they got 249 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: real busy and then they You still have to be 250 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: committed to the program, Carol. Okay, first, let's talk about this. 251 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: This this grass carp you selling a lot of those. 252 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 2: We saw quite a few, so. 253 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: Ray told me it's seventeen dollars for one of them. 254 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: But you have, at that point neutered him and you've 255 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: you've it's about a pound. He weighs about a pound, 256 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: and he's ready to go. He's going to hit the 257 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: water and start start eating the grass right off. Tell 258 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: me about this seventeen dollars a fish. But by the 259 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: time he was finished with it, it sounded like it 260 00:16:58,840 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: was a deal. 261 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 2: Well compared to chemicals, it is a deal because you know, 262 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 2: chemicals can cost you like one thousand dollars an acre. 263 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 2: Uh and somals Carol, Well, I don't. I don't either, 264 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 2: especially with what we're using what we're seeing used now. 265 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 2: But the but grashcarporo really good deal. They they have 266 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 2: been altered genetically at a certain stage in their egg 267 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 2: development with either heat or chemicals, so that they have 268 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 2: an odd number of chromosomes, and so they are sterile. 269 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 2: That's because you know, they put the non sterol ones 270 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 2: in Lake Conro years and years ago and they just 271 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 2: overproduced and stripped the lake clean. And so anyway, now 272 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 2: these are regulated. We buyers out of Arkansas from a 273 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 2: particular farm. And there's here's the there is the process. 274 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 2: You've got to go online to Texas Parks and Wildlife 275 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 2: and put grass car permit in the search box to 276 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 2: get to it. There's so on that page is a 277 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 2: link to a weed i D page so you can 278 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 2: see if the weeds you've got the fish are going 279 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 2: to eat, because there's a couple that they either can't 280 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 2: or won't eat. Like what and like what kind of 281 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 2: we asked my husband. He's the he's the real weed expert. 282 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 2: He's a real expert. I've learned everything from him over 283 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 2: all the years. 284 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: He knows a lot about weeds. 285 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 2: He knows a lot about fish. 286 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: I just Mike, what's he doing right now? 287 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: He's out delivering fish all. 288 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: Right, Well, how come Ray had to come pick his up. 289 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 2: Well, so here's here's how the process works. You get 290 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 2: your permit, they email it to you. You have to 291 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 2: print it off and bring it with you because we 292 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 2: have to sign on the paper. And then you can 293 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 2: take your fish home and we can bag them up 294 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 2: depending on how far they go with how many is 295 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: in a bag. And so we bag them up depending 296 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 2: on how far you're going and do all the paperwork. 297 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: But on the other end, here's here's something interesting. Before 298 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 2: the before they can leave the fish farm, there's actually 299 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 2: a federal inspector who checks each fish individually by hand 300 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 2: to make sure it's sterile. And that's one reason that 301 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 2: costs much. 302 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: And they do that at your site. 303 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 2: No, they do that at the fish farm before they 304 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 2: can leave the fish farm. 305 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: Oh, before you get him? Yes, yeah, okay, so so 306 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: Ray told me that, I guess. So when you submit 307 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: the application, the big thing is they want to look 308 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: at your spillway and make sure you're not going to 309 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: be pushing out to some river and basically, you know, 310 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: this thing spreads and then we've got grass carp all over. 311 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: And he said that rather than come out and do 312 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: a site visit with the biologist. They did it by drone, 313 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: and he sent me the email exchange. He said, if 314 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: you end up talking about this, the only thing I 315 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 1: asked is that you say something nice about the Texas 316 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: parks and wildlife and how nice they were to deal with. 317 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: So I'm reading the email exchanges. It's a woman named 318 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: Lauren Reynolds, permit coordinator in Land Fisheries, and I'm looking 319 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: at the timelines. You know, he's sending in his application. 320 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: She's jumping right on it, sir. I've made a I've 321 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: numbered your pawns to make sure that your application is correct, 322 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: and I've done this for you, and I've done this 323 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: for you, and I've done this for you. If that 324 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: all looks good, then you're good to go and I 325 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,479 Speaker 1: can issue your permit. And I'm thinking, wow, man, this 326 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: is I guess she's out in Austin County.

Yeah, not Austin County. 330 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: Huh Okay, what she looks like. I mean, she's Johnny 331 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: on the spot.

I want to go back to that because 378 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 2: sometimes some years ago, not that many years ago. Uh, 379 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 2: it was taken up to three months for people to 380 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 2: get their permits, and every once in a while people 381 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 2: can hit it just right and get it that same day, 382 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 2: so they're done. They're done. A great job on the 383 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 2: permits these days. 384 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: Ray said he got his in three hours. 385 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 2: Yeah it is. 386 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: You know what makes me crazy? Most of these things. 387 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: You know you somebody said, oh, it'll take three months 388 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: to do this. The actual task that needs to be 389 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: performed is probably five minutes. So it's amazing how often 390 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: I don't care if it's car repairs, whatever it is, 391 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: how longen people say, well it's going to be a while. 392 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: It's not that it takes any time, it's I'm not 393 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: going to get to it for a long time. Well, 394 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: why don't you get caught up and start doing things 395 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: in real time. I can't stand that. It makes me crazy, 396 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: But that's people that that's how they live their whole life. 397 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: Everything is on a delay. Everything is unresponsive, all right. 398 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 1: So our number one seller is fat head minutes. What's 399 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: number two? 400 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 2: Probably? Let me see, well, blue ge ill, because that's 401 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 2: the other feeder fish, because you have to have you 402 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 2: can't have bass without having a lot of feeder fish 403 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 2: hold in your pond. 404 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: I'm not going to ask her, what about Vince Gil? Okay, 405 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: I'm sorry that those two. Then what would be next? Carol? 406 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 2: Yes, what would be I'm sorry, I thought you were 407 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 2: still talking to Ramon. 408 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: No, he thought answer to blue Gill would be Vince Gill. 409 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: They think since kind of stuff's funny. Well, I'm trying 410 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: to think about, all right, what would be the third 411 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: best seller? 412 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 2: So the fat head menaces the bottom of the food chain, 413 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 2: Bluegill are next, and then after that it's probably bass 414 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 2: and catfish, you know, the on the pond stock and 415 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 2: that's pretty much it. But the grass car prank up 416 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 2: there really high because so many people don't want to 417 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 2: put chemicals in and basically you've got an underwater lawnmower, 418 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 2: and so they keep them down. And I would I 419 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 2: will say this that because they're genetically damaged, they only 420 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 2: live about seven or eight years. After that they'll die 421 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 2: and you have to replace them. 422 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, but Carol, that's good for us. We got kind 423 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: of a planned obsolescence. They got to keep coming back. 424 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 2: Well, that's true, and it's better than chemicals every year, 425 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 2: you know. 426 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: I bet you we could get in the lab and 427 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: tweak around on them and get them where they don't 428 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: live but for about a year. 429 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 2: Oh, let's not do that. 430 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: I'm serious, Carol, I'm not even kidding you talk about 431 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:36,479 Speaker 1: a business plan. I want to get into the fisheries business. 432 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: Did you marry into this business? 433 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: I did so, Mike was in it. Mike was in it, 434 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 2: and he started the live catfish business in Houston. You 435 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 2: know where you can go in and buy your live 436 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 2: catfish at the store like Fiesta's. 437 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: Carol, you don't know this about me, but I probably 438 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: eat more fried catfish other than my father, than any 439 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: human being in the world every evening. It's my joke 440 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: with my wife. When we're driving, I'll go by and 441 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: see him in the afternoon and at night, if we're 442 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: coming home from something, or if we're sitting around the house, 443 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: I'll call just check on him before he goes to bed, 444 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: and I'll say, Dad, how are you doing? And he'll say, oh, good, 445 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: And I said, how was dinner? He said it was good? 446 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,719 Speaker 1: I think, And I'll say what did you have? And 447 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: we play this little song and dance little game every 448 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: day and he'll say what did I have? What did 449 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: I have? And I've already said to my wife before 450 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: that I've nudged her and said catfish and sweet potatoes 451 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: and fried catfish and sweet potatoes. And he'll say, I can't. 452 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: I said, was it the fried kid? 453 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 4: Yees? 454 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: Fried catfish? Okay, because you've had that the last sixty 455 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: five days in a row. I love fried catfish, do you. 456 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 2: Do? I? Yeah, Well we sold that office. You know, 457 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 2: as you get older, you don't you don't have quite 458 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 2: the energy to do that. That's that's heavy labor, is it. 459 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 2: But that's how long. That's how long we've been doing this. 460 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 2: And so anyway, we lost our lease at the place 461 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 2: we were at and this place was available. So we've been 462 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 2: here right around forty years. 463 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: What you been in this Brenham Fisheries location for forty years? Yes, sir, Wow, 464 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: you don't sound old enough to have done to have 465 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: had two careers in catfish.
