Speaker 1: the start of the lockdowns, way back about ten fifteen

13
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: years ago in April um back when we thought that

14
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: we might be over in two weeks. Yeah, we were like,

15
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: well for these two weeks that we'll be locked out

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: before we get out of this, will do dailies. Yeah.

17
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: Really engendered a lot of good feelings for us and

18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: for you that we could do that for you and

19
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,920

23
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: Not really. I'm still having fun, how about you, dude?

24
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: I can't You know what I told you earlier when

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: we were talking that I felt every once in a

26
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: while with a podcast that's weekly like this, you get

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: into a funk where you're just like, I don't have

28
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: time to make it what I want to make it,

29
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: so many things I want to do, It's just it

30
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: has to come every week, and you just get into

31
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: this creative funk. And when I got COVID, it kind

32
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: of threw me into an overall funk that I'm just

33
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: want to get out of desperately. And going back over

34
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: all the shows from this year, listening all the fun moments,

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: all the poems and the songs and the poop jokes

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: just made me want to do this even more next year.

37
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: Maybe want to jump twice as hard into THHC next year,

38
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: make it as good as humanly possible, and get you, guys,

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: a show that you're gonna love even more than you

40
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: already do. And if you hate it, which you know,

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: by the bye Phil. There's some negative reviews going up

42
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: on iTunes. I was alerted by this by an emailer. Oh.

43
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: He said, hey, man, I saw there's a couple of

44
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: negative reviews. What do we do? I said, nothing, you

45
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: can do. We don't We could fight those people. We'd

46
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: have to go to great effort to find them and

47
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: go to their houses and and fight them. Yeah, and

48
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: then and then you're probably breaking several several laws at

49
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: that point. Yeah, then you're in jail, you never see

50
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: your kids again, you get divorced. It's a whole it's

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: a whole spiral. So don't read the comments, don't read

52
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: the reviews. But if you want to help us out

53
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: specifically with this, there's a lot of people saying that

54
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: we're too immature, that we're too silly, that skipped the guests,

55
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: the intro apart where fills a part of it. It's

56
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: just it's not even worth your time. What you're gonna

57
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: hear on this best of is a middle finger to

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: all those people say like, we have fun and we're

59
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: not ashamed of it. Well, sometimes we're silly. Sometimes we

60
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: tell poop jokes, sometimes we get a little uh infantile, maybe,

61
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: but but sometimes we get way too serious. Sometimes we

62
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: shed a tear. Sometimes we change lives here at th HC.

63
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: So in your face, negative reviewers, go listen to some

64
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: other bullshit podcast. We get. We take it seriously here

65
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: at t HC. Any anything you want to say feel

66
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: in defense of what we've built here. No, I thought

67
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: that was that was pretty good? Uh summary? Um, yeah,

68
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: I don't care about any of them? Is that bad?

69
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: Should I care that people don't like me? Ben, Ben,

70
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: please tell me it's okay, it's not okay. If someone

71
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: likes you, you should someone likes you, you you should be happy,

72
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: and if they don't like you, should be sad. And

73
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: that's how it works. Um, that's a great way I

74
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: find a move through the world on a productive way. Okay,

75

00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: if we're gonna say anything about this podcast, we gotta

92
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: talk about sweet sweet Phil. He or the engineer, touched

93
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: us all so deeply this year. Um, there's so many ways.

94
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: But really, one of the ways that we've learned about

95
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: Phil this year is that we've gone through this exploration

96
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: of him not wanting to go hunting, and then and

97
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: then convincing him that it was a value, and then

98
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: watching him struggle to to find the time and his busy,

99
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: busy schedules to take the hunter safety course and eventually

100
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: pass it. Uh. It was riveting, confusing, exhilarating, um mind

101
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: numbing at times, but we followed along with Phil as

102
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: he discovered himself in a coming of age tale that

103
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: was Phil will fill every go hunting, Phil, do you

113
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: safety course. Next year is going to be the year

114

Speaker 1: when will be the year where Phil goes hunting and

115
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 1: kills and eats his first ever wild creature. That doesn't

116
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,080

Speaker 1: were announcing the winners of our one hundred episode contest

120
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,560

121
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: of our poetry contest Poetry about th HC, was able

122
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: to write a song, a poem, a work of art

123
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: that captured how we all felt about th HD at

124
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: that time last February. And so we're gonna We're gonna

Speaker 1: all love just to go over. Everybody who wrote their

129
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: poetic reviews has given us their Instagram, Twitter, Facebook handle, whatever,

130
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: so we know how to get ahold of them. So

131
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: that's how we'll represent. We don't have their names most

132
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,600

177
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: is a better rush than no no, just in Okay, Phil,

178
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: how long did it take you to get the Phil?

179
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: He got what I need? How long it take to

180
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: get that out of your head? That's still in there?

181
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: It's probably in there, and now against that you listen

182
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: to it. That's right. I was just working on putting

183
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: this episode together and I kind of what we should

184
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: just get Seth back on the show more often to

185
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: do some singing. What do you think, yeah, maybe he

186
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: could just sing the intro song. Now if we run

187
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: out of money, which we mind, who knows the more

188
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: to flip getting better my opinion, That's all I care about.

189
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: The only other thing I would say about that clip

190
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: and that best stuff that was in February. Not really

191
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: close when we recorded that to the beginning of the pandemic,

192
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: as it kind of elevated in our minds. But we

193
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: were talking about an episode one oh four, how everybody

194
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: had given the flu to each other in that episode.

195
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: So that didn't age well, Phil, that didn't age well

196
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: or at a very different time right now, that's not

197
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: something we would joke about, but in that episode we

198
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: did joke about it. So that just goes to show

199
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: times they are changing. Uh maybe not for the better

200
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: in this case. So now we kind of set the

201
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: stage for we need to convince Phil, Phil and are

202
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: are the leader of our listenership. Eric Hall had a

203
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: back and forth where Eric asked Phil, hey, Phil, one

204
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: to ten, how excited are you? And Phil said, what

205
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: did you say? Phil? Three? Four five? It wasn't high.

206
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: It might have even been two and a half. It

207
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: was low, dude, you were not excited. It about hunting.

208
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: So what I did is I enlisted two of my

209
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: best friends in the world to to really give Phil

210
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: what he needed. And so here is David Hasselhoff Chuck

211
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: Norris given Phil a little motivation. Have you prepared a

212
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: opening uh opening sound for this? No, not at all.

213
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: Are you gonna figure it out right now? Okay, this

214
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: is called a Now we're reading, and this is Phil.

215
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: I haven't told you this. This is to help you

216
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: get inspired. Okay, okay, help you get inspired to go hunting.

217
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: Because I felt like we've tried everything to get your

218
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: number up. We've tried your in the beginning. If if

219
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: listeners don't know the story, in the beginning, Phil, I

220
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: just feel, hey, man, one to ten, how excited are

221
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: you to go hunting? And Phil said two? And eventually,

222
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: over time, Eric Hall is part of the committee to

223
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: try to get fields excitement level up for this upcoming hunt.

224
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: And now you're at a four four and a half,

225
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: four and a half. And so I felt the only

226
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: way to really do it was to get desperate and

227
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: enlist some of my great friends in the celebrity community.

280
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,480

281
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: are quite firing just right. I've been doing some things

282
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't normally do. I've been missing some beats

283
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: that I would normally hit, and I think it's just

284
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,840

290
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: of the show, A good friend of the showy. So

292
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,280

295
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: Hi Phil, I hear you are learning how to hunt.

296
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: Chuck Leopold once said, we abused land because we regard

297
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: it as a commodity belonging to us. That's right. When

298
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: we see land as a community to which we belong to.

299
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: Thanks Chuck began to use it with love and respect.

300
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: Chuck Norris then, and I wish you the best, stay

00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: he was a little more subdued than David Hasselhoff. That's true,

306
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: but I think his words carried weight. And I'm I'm

322
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: his most famous movie? I have no idea, but his show.

323
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: I've got a history with this show. Uh Walker Texas Ranger.

324
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: I'll say that that's the that's the highlight of the

325
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: Norris career. There it is there he is, Oh, I

326
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: keep the guy ready in the face. The unsuspected strange

327
00:19:53,200 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: here that better know he's a singer too. M it's

328
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: not good. That's great behind you because that's where the

329
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 1: Rangers gonna be boom. Thank you, Chuck Norris, thank you

330
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: so much. In the early two thousand's, Conan O'Brien had

331
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: a bit on this show called the Walker Texas Ranger Lever,

332
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: or he would just pull it out and pull this

333
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: lever and it would play a random clip from Walker

334
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: Texas Ranger without any context whatsoever, and it was always

335
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: completely absurd, and I think it's what got me, like

336
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: completely shaped my comedic sensibilities that that one segment. Yes,

337
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: I apparently there's a Walker Texas Ranger reboot last year,

338
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: and so we'll hang on Chuck. Chuck is busy, but

339
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean in the interest song, if you guys, go

340
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: and watch the video, he roundhouse kicks the ship out

341
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: of a guy like harder than I've ever And so

342
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 1: that's what I feel like in your heart right now,

343
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: you're doing to your hunting, to the to the challenges

Speaker 1: that will be presented to you here. I mean that

345
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,119

00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: Roundhouse Kicks that's what he's known. Thanks well, thanks Chuck,

347
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: friend of the show. I'll text you later, buddy. Um,

348
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: I know you're listening, so thanks, Thanks so much. Phil.

349
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: These are the best times I when I was listening

350
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: back to this, man, this is these are this those

351
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: two segments of that, those episodes, which were episodes one, respectably,

352
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: Whereas when I was at my happiest because I was

353
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: spending media your cash higher out celebrities to give you

354
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: fake motivation, and it was the happiest I've ever been

355
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: in my life. Yeah, how did the people are responsible

356
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: for that cash feel about it? Though? There were a

357
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: little bit of a controversy within the accounting department. What's

358
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: this for? Uh? And I was like, well, you know,

359
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: this is for it's for us, it's for our it's

360
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: for Phil, and it's for everybody else. Uh. Not only

361
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: is it entertaining, but it's important for Phil to know

362
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: that people out there care about him, especially people in

363
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: the media. Accounting department. You have to spend money to

364
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: get celebrities to read quotes to Phil, So to me,

365
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: it all made sense. Yeah, it treated tracts for me too. Man,

366
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm here to support you. And worst, I'm

367
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: still here. I didn't get fired over it. So, uh,

368
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: you know, whatever money we spent an undisclosed amount of

369
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: money we spent to bring those two mega celebrities on

370
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: the program, it was well worth it in my opinion.

371
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: And so we have to go to the time where

372
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: Phil is now encouraged to go outside, and when he

373
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: goes outside, something happens. Phil, you had your first poop

374
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: in the woods this year, and all the haters that

375
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: are writing the reviews about our podcast that we're immature

376
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 1: in your face poop story, give it to him, Phil, Ben,

377
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: I crapped in the woods this weekend. I did, really

378
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: its first crap in the woods. Congratulations, crap in the woods.

379
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. That makes you don't understand what

380
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: that does to me. I feel a little bit awkward

381
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: that I'm so excited. But I needed that. I mean, listen,

382
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: I did it just for you because otherwise I absolutely

383
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: would not have done it. Um, And I gotta tell

384
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: you it was not great. It's experience was this was

385
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: this like impromptu. You were out doing an outdoor activity

386
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: and you thought, well, I gotta do it. Better, do

387
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: it to make Ben happy or just go in the

388
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: backyard and take a dump one time. No I went.

389
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: I went out for a hike this weekend, a little

390
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: warm up hike, just to get the legs back in

391
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: some some amount of shape before I try to do

392
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: some bigger ones this summer and uture. It was a

393
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: don't skip over this paint the picture it was? It

394
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: was what kind of morning was it? Was it? Calm? Wendy?

395
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: It was? It was a late late morning into afternoon. Um.

396
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: It started out calm. It was a night. It was

397
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: a very pleasant sixty to sixty five degrees low winds. Um.

398
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: I went to an undisclosed trail in the Gallatin Valley

399
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: and Riparian Corridor. Or were you in the foothill regions

400
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: near a river? Where were you? Uh? Yeah? I was

401
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: in the southern foothills of of Bozeman. Um. And I

402
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:43,959
Speaker 1: did not have to uh poop. I did not have

403
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: to uh release, but I I but I forced it

404
00:24:50,600 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: out for you. Oh God, this is by day, buddy.

405
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: Now we should say, do you poop in the toilet

406
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,719
Speaker 1: and ship in the woods Mark Canyon? Is that how

407
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: it has to go? Uh? I typically ship in both,

408
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: but this depends how you want to put it. That's fine.

409
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: You wrote an article about crapping in the woods on

410
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: meteor dot com, did you not? I did, and I

411
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: wanted to use ship in the headline, but we we

412
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: decided to keep it tame. And I think we used crap.

413
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: Didn't we use crap? Yeah? Crap in the woods? Um.

414
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: So listen, listen carefully as Phil talks about the situation,

415
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: and then when we're done, you should grade his performance.

416
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: Here doesn't sound it doesn't sound great. Well, here's the thing.

417
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: I didn't read marks article, so I may it probably

418
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: could have gone better. Did you have any guidance or

419
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: was this all just ad lib? No? This is completely

420
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 1: you know, oh natural. I was just feeling it, you know,

421
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: I was just playing it. Let me reading. Let me

422
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: ask you a question though. There's a key question here,

423
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: and it goes to the timeliness of the Corn team.

424
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: Because you've never crapped in the woods before. Did you

425
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: have toilet paper with you at this moment this time? Yes,

426
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: So I brought it along with you know, everything I needed.

427
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: I brought some sanitizing wipes, some ziplock bags. Yeah, you know,

428
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: because I was listen, I wanted to I wanted to

429
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: make you proud, and so I was like, I'm gonna

430
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: go for this hike and if if nature calls, then

431
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: I'll report back to Ben. And I was wrapping up

432
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: the hike, and I was like, I don't have to,

433
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna try anyway. So I trudged, let's stop

434
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: from it. What you what was the dinner of the

435

00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: a curry? He doesn't want his bulls? This, I guess

439
00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: I started good. I started a couple of coffees in

440
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: the morning. Oh of course. So I started looking around. Um,

441
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I gotta find a place to do this.

442
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: It's off the beaten path. Can I can I interrupt him?

Speaker 1: So sorry? Please do Yeah? Did you have a did

444
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,359

445
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: This was solo? Okay? Um? You know it was a

446
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: nice day. So the trail was relatively active, but I

447
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: I wandered off. I tried to find kind of like

448
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: a dead spot where I where there weren't a lot

449
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: of people passing by that I went. I trudged into

450
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: Waiste deep snow. I was wearing shorts by the way, uh,

451
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: to get far enough off trail so that I could

452
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 1: still see the trail from a distance. But no one

453
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: could see me unless they had were like really like

454
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: looking for me. I thought that you're gonna say, like

455
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: I I took. I went three miles off the trail

456
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: and uh about the thousand vertical feet, so no we

457
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: could see me. Oh no, No, I wasn't like. I

458
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: mean I wish I would have. Um so you know,

459
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: I dropped trout as the I'd say, and you know

460
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: I make it happen. Um, let's let's just say it was.

461
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: It was one of those you know movements where it

462
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: took a little bit more toilet paper than than average

463
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 1: to clean up. Um, so not ideal. Uh the you know,

464
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: the multiple coffees in the morning, mark Uh and so

465
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: I see, you know, I'm like I'm wrapping up things

466
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: are okay, it was going all right. I was soaking wet.

467
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: I mean like my my shoes were and my legs

468
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: were you know, freezing. But I did it. I was

469
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 1: proud of myself. Then from a distance, I see a

470
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: couple coming, but I'm like, oh, that's good, that's good.

471
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: It's good timing because I just wrapped up. I'll head

472
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: back to the trail. I'll just pretend I was like

473
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: Geo cashing or something I don't know. And then but

474
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: then I hear the distinct jingle of a dog collar,

475
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: and the dog immediately smells me out and what I

476
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: left in the woods and just starts going to town

477
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: on like he got right in it. Oh yeah, in

478
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: the snow. And so of course this couple is like,

479
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: where is our dog going? They look off, they see

480
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: me standing there and just like pretending I don't know

481
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: what's happening anyway. So I just kind of was like

482
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: looking at my phone, pretending like I was like hunting

483
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: for buried treasure, treasure or something. I don't know. Anyway,

484
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: they there, their dog finally went back to them, I hope,

485
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: smelling all right and uh, and then I made my

486
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: way back to the trail and finish the hike. Did

487
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: did the dog run up? And then the two of

488
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: them knelt down and started let them kiss their faces.

489
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: And I was too horrified to even I was not

490
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: even looking. I was like pretending like I was on

491
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: a different planet at that point. What kind of dog

492
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: was this? This is fantastic, I I I'm not great

493
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: with with dog breeds. It was like that it was

494
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: a medium size for very furry dog, one of those

495
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: one of these, you know, the ones great bird dogs. Phil.

496
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: My only other follow up, Phil is, um, what would

497
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: happen if this was Mango? Like, what would you have

498
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: done if Mango had pulled this off? Well? So in

499
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: this in this, in this situation, am I the couple

500
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: walking the trail with her dog and Mango goes running

501
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: off to the straight to the weird guy crapping in

502
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: the woods or so then so then Mango? I mean,

503
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't I would have tried to call her back

504
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: a little more aggressively than these than this couple was doing. Um,

505
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: but if she came back like reeking of ship, I

506
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 1: probably would have been horrified. And U be a cat person,

507
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: I guess. But Phil, I mean, like I got so

508
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: any questions go ahead, Mark, I mean this is yeah,

509
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: I do have some question was about the details because

510
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: you didn't read the article yet, it sounds like you

511
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: don't have much experience, so I'm just curious, Like what

512
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: kind of position did you try to pull it off? Um?

513
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: Because the very first time I ever took a crap

514
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: in the woods, I fared much worse than you did.

515
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: I actually dropped troal, hunched down, and then just dropped

516
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: a ship right back in my pants and underwear beneath me.

517
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, at least, how did you how did you

518
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: make sure that didn't happen? Well, So Ben gave me

519
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: a little advice last week. He was like, you know,

520
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: trying to look for a log to sit on, or

521
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: like a tree to like lean on a stump or

522
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: some of some some sort. Everything was I mean, it

523
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: was very inaccessible because the snow was still. It was

524
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: a north facing slope that I was on, and everything

525
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: was still pretty pretty icy and snowy. I couldn't really

526
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: find a great place to just like sit so but

527
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: I did try to lean on like a stump. Yeah,

528
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: wanted to lean against a tree and then be like

529
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: a chi air right like. Sure, I tried to find

530
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: a good spot to do that, but it was it

531
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: was tough. You want your knees right. It's also a

532
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: good workout, but you want your knees to be bent

533
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: in a ninety degree angle, Phil, But I you know,

534
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: hopefully that's not going to prevent you from further excursions. Oh,

535
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: it absolutely will. I will only ever crap in the

536
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: woods if it's an emergency. Um. Uh, you know, it's

537
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: not gonna stop me from hiking. But um, it was

538
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: not a great first experience. And you didn't go over

539
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: to the couple and say, hey, listen, Uh no, no

540
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: I did not. Yeah, probably would have been proper etiquette

541
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: to warn them, you know, stop, do not kiss that dog,

542
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: do not let him lick your hands. Yeah, I have.

543
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: So if anybody's listening to this who had an experience

544
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: with a gentleman that looked like Phil, and please right

545
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: in and let us know if this was you, we'd

546
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: love to have you on the show and we could

547
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: probably give you a full set of free first Light

548
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: or something. Who knows, but we'll shower you with gifts

549
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: as an apology for Phils for fiddls misdeeds in the woods. There. Well,

550
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: thanks for that, Phil, that really uplifted me. Buddy. I

551
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: was feeling I tried so down, so melancholy, and then

552
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: you just you you know, I didn't know about this

553
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: until just now when you sprung it upon me Um,

554
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: I'm feeling really good buddy that that that was hilarious

555
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: And uh, I don't know if inspiring is the right word,

556
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: Mark Kenyon. You know, like encouraging though at least encouraging

557
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: a man getting out of his comfort zone, which is

558
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: key in life, I find. And he practiced proper leave

559
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: no trace etiquette by making sure there was none left over.

560
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, nothing was left behind. Nothing was left behind.

561
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: When you look back on that, are you happy that

562
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: you sprung that upon us, Phil and the way that

563
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: you did? Are you happy that you told the cult

564
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: about your activities outside? Oh? Sure, I'm not embarrassed by

565
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: that at all. I have some regrets about the actual

566
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 1: poop in the woods. I would do things slightly differently,

567
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: but hey, you know it was it was a learning

568
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: experience for me um, for the owners of that dog. Uh.

569
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: And you know we're all better people for it, and

570
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: now you will we get to the moment where you

571
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: all of this pays off. We've convinced Phil that he's

572
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: important to us. We have laid out that celebrities and

573
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: the mediator accounting department care about Phil enough to spend

574
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: money and time to convince him to go hunting. Our

575
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: listeners like Eric Hall care deeply about his investment in hunting.

576
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: And then you have this idea that he has to

577
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: take the hunter safety course. And I would and and

578
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: every time I would see Phil during the during the

579
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: quarantine and the pandemics, the Phil, how's that hunter safety going?

580
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: I got kids, man, you know, I got him reading

581
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: a book about goblins, and I'm play a lot of

582
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: video games. And it became a real suffrage for all

583
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: of us. And the only person who had any real

584
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: effect on on Phil was you, honest, but tell us.

585
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: Every time he would give Phil ship, Phil would turn

586
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: completely white and he would say, Okay, be honest, I'll

587
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: do it. I'll do it for you. And I'd be

588
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: sitting there in my hands up, like what the funk man, Like, well,

589
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: you don't care about me, you don't care about us,

590
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't care about THHC. But finally, finally Phil did it.

591
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: And here's the moment when I found out, Uh, well, Fred,

592
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: I've got something to say to you and to Ben

593
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 1: and the audience, and that is that I have finished

594
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: my Hunter Safety Oh oh yes, oh hey, you doubt it.

595
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 1: I'm here on election day. I've never been more proud

596
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: be an American, or at least I know I'm free,

597
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: and I won't forget the men who died and gave

598
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 1: the hunter's safety to pass his Hunter's safety course. Uh please,

599
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: I speech speech. I mean, I don't I don't have

600
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: much to say. I uh, you know, I just you know,

601
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: it was hard work, but I had to get it

602
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: done for for you and for actually mainly for free

603
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: for Yanni. I know. I always felt that when Yanni

604
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: would give you ship, you'd be like you you get

605
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: up and you move. When I would it almost like

606
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: it was like quicksand you would sink further into the

607
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: non action. Yeah, well, I mean in in actuality, it

608
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: wasn't difficult. I just it was time consuming though, because

609
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: they've got I mean, when you do it online. You

610
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: got this little timer they threw up with a card

611
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: and they were like, it takes what well, I don't know,

612
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: I'm just excited. I was making noises of Jesus. It said,

613
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: lay threw up a little car. It takes you seven

614
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: seconds to eat it, and then it's like you have

615
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: to wait a minute and a half before you can

616
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 1: hit the next button. And you know, it's just they don't.

617
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: It's you know, I understand why they want you to

618
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: retain the information and really get it in there. But

619
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: it was just a was a pain in the ass,

620
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: but I learned a lot. I'm glad I did it,

621
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: and you know, flying colors at this point. Next episode,

622
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Phil give what he learned. We're gonna

623
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: have what you learned segment. We'll have you give the

624
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: listeners a little bit of what you learned. I've forgotten

625
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: behalf of it already. So enough, alright, Phil, Now we

626
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: just have to talk about the future, buddy. We got

627
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: to talk about what we're gonna do next. And I

628
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: have a full on plan to go turkey hunting with

629
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: you as soon as humanly possible. Is that's something that

630
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 1: you're okay with? Absolutely? I will be waiting on bated breath, uh,

631
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: with a with a shotgun in my hand. I'll be

632
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: holding it until you call me in March or whenever

633
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,479
Speaker 1: this happens. Yeah, well, we'll make it happen. We don't wanna.

634
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: We have plans. We will likely record the audio, possibly film.

635
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: It's a lot that I have to figure out, but

636
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: we will culminate this story at least the beginning of

637
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: Phil's story with his first hunt. Of that, I can

638
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: promise you we will not let th HC go on

639
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: without doing that. So now there's another thing about th

640
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: HC that I think is the most important to me,

641
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: because when I was listening to this best, I'm like,

642
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: what are the things that are important to me? Well,

643
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: of course Phil the engineer is important to me. I'd

644
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: like to protect him, wrap him and envelop him in

645
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: warmth and love. But also you the listener was a

646
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 1: year and I think really at the end of twenty

647
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: nineteen where I realized the power of the listeners of

648
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: this podcast, what you were willing to do, how much

649
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: you cared, and how how much silly ship you're willing

650
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,959
Speaker 1: to take part in to make me and feel laugh

651
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: and to be a a THC. So why not go

652
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: over some of the coolest moments and also explore some

653
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: not so sharp moments. So after this next segment, we're

654
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: going to do an award for the not so sharpest

655
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: moment of the year. Feels it, the not so sharpest

656
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: moment of the years. That sound right, the not so

657
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: sharpest moment, the least sharp moment. No, no, I like

658
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: that I like the not so sharpest not so sharpest

659
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: moment of the year. We're gonna give out the award

660
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: for the not so sharpest moment of the year, and

661
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: the winner will get nothing but our undying love and

662
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: devotion from th HC. And you will be the not

663
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: so sharpest person of the year. And you have entertained

664
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: us fully. So we're gonna get to that. Before you

665
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: do that, I want to tell you about a couple

666
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: of things that made us laugh, made us think, it

667
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: made us wonder if this little podcast was worth a

668
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: little bit more than just a bunch of dudes talking

669
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: about hunting making poop jokes. Um. First, Phil, First, do

670
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: you remember the first time you heard about the dumper

671
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: story to fel else Dumper fan? You remember the first

672
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: time you considered this idea that you had a fan

673
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: who was a littering bastard. Uh? Well, there were two

674
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: things that were kind of uh bizarre to me. One

675
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: was that I have a fan. Apparently that's one he

676
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: would leave some more comments on the iTunes reviews. That

677
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: would be great. You should go in there and definitely

678
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: tell this story, so we're not going down to the iTunes.

679
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: And the second thing the copy of Guard was that

680
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: he was up to some not so savory business man. Yeah,

681
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: he was littering. He was he was dumping things on

682
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,959
Speaker 1: our public lands. Now we don't want to give away

683
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: the story here, but there was two important moments of

684
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: this story. One when we found out about the dumper,

685
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: and then when the dumper was redeemed. So this is

686
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: this is my favorite moment from if I had to vote.

687
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Phil, but this is my

688
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: favorite moment. So enjoy the dumper's redemption. I got an email,

689
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,479
Speaker 1: maybe the most interesting email I've ever received that's saying

690
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: a lot um. This came from Andrew Wolf. He's up

691
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 1: in Beautiful Canada. He said, Hey, Bennett Field, big fan

692
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: of the show and had an interesting story for you.

693
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm a fishing wildlife officer up in Beautiful Canada and

694
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: the other day I went up to one of the

695
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: more secluded trailheads in an area that is known for

696
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: getting illegal dumpers. I'm assuming illegal dumpers. It means dumping

697
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: of trash, but hopefully not like bodies or anything like that.

698
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: We'll just we'll just assume trash. As I was driving up,

699
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: I was of course listening to the good old Quarantine cast,

700
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: and sure enough came across a dumper. I hopped, but

701
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: we're big in the dumping community. Apparently. I hopped out

702
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: of my rig and detained the guy and brought him

703
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: back to my truck. As I was checking the guy's license,

704
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: he recognized the podcast in the background. Hey, is that

705
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: the Hunting Collective? He asked, it is? I responded, I

706
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 1: love that show man, I listened to it all the time.

707
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: I love that new guy. They have one now fills

708
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: his name, he said, I've had it pretty funny that

709
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: this guy just cut got just caught doing something illegal

710
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: and was a fan of your show. Looks like Phil

711
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: has a big fan out there. Keep doing what you're doing,

712
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 1: and hopefully I can find more suspects who are fans.

713
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: Andrew Wolf. Thanks Andrew, Um you know, Phil, any any

714
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,480

717
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,120

718
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: the person attracting these these uh miscreants. I don't know

719
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,680

00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: into the woods and dump a bunch of tracks. Just

725
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:58,120

728
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: and the dumper. Yeah, no, this is good. It's a

729
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: good rhythmic. It helps you kind of get motivated for

730
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: dumping and then do the dumping. Just kidding. Don't be

731
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: dumping out there. You don't do it, you idiots, especially

732
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this show. You're not welcome. Phil. Yeah,

733
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: you knew that we had to return to uh some

734
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: form of dumping pretty much on every episode at this point.

735
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: But I'll have you know that this has nothing to

736
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: do with you, very little to do with This is

737
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: from Andrew Wolf. You remember him from episode one. He

738
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: was the game warden who caught it, who caught it,

739
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: got dumping trash at a trail head, and that guy

740
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: that was dumping trash recognized THHC and said he was

741
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: a big Phil fan. Remember that, I love it. It's

742
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 1: so good. Remember that that was back in the innocent days,

743
00:43:55,440 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: well before the quarantine, the recent unrest um he said.

744
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: He continues to said, Well, today I got a call

745
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: from a hiker who believed there was an individual dumping trash.

746
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: I haven't read through this, but I hope this guy

747
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: was a Phil fan too. I went to the area

748
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: and it was an overflow parking lot for one of

749
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: the more popular stock to lakes, and I got my

750
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: bins out and started looking for this supposed dumper. There

751
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: was one truck in the parking lot, and lo and behold,

752
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: there was bags of trash in the bed. Out of

753
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: the bushes comes a man who I recognized as the dumper,

754
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: who recognized t C. Repeat repeat, I also wanted to

755
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: be a new dumper that was also a Phil fan, damnit.

756
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: And to my amazement, I see him picking up trash

757
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: and putting it in a bag in his hand. I say,

758
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: because I was an exclamation point. I drove up and

759
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: made contact with him, and he explained to me that

760
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: he was picking up trash that had been littered around.

761
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: When I asked him why, he told me after hearing

762
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: about it on the podcast, he was ashamed and realized

763
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: how bad what he was doing was and had a

764
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: change of heart and wanted to clean up and make amends.

765
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 1: This isn't this isn't real. It's real. I'm reading it verbatim.

766
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: So thanks to you and Phil, you haven't in a

767
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: way made the world a little better place, having turned

768
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: at least one individual from not caring about our wild

769
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: places wanted to keep them clean. So thank you for that. Also,

770
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: he said he had a Star Wars shirt on, and

771
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: when I told him Phil would love that, he said, oh,

772
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: my son got this for me. I think that weird

773
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: space magic shit is stupid. He's not wrong. That's a

774
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: new story. If you were to right, if you were

775
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: to write this story a new movie, someone would say,

776
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 1: I don't believe. Well, and dumping trash into the woods

777
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: gets publicly shamed and then is now now cleaning it up.

778
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: He said, sorry, Phil, Uh, for what it's worth. I

779
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: am a Star Wars fan. Keep up the great stuff, guys,

780
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: and keep on preaching the good word of keeping nature pristine.

781
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: Phil was that your favorite moment of the year or

782
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: was there something that topped that. I think when I

783
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: think back on it, it's the moment that stands out

784
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: to me the most for sure. Um. I mean like

785
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,880

Speaker 1: the year also stand out, but this was the one

787
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: that I that I feel happiest about. Yeah, I do too,

788
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: because it's a real change in one man's life, but

789
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: it's analogous to the rest that change in all of

Speaker 1: first came on our radar when we did the one

799
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: hundred episode contest. He did a video where he was

800
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: in a robe. He had a picture of squeakers and

801
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: it made us laugh and it got on the show

802
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: well when we came when it came time to do

803
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: the Great American Outdoors Contest, where we were asking people

804
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,799

805
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,279

00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 1: the Great American Outdoors Act and the Atlanta Water Conservation Fund.

807
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: It was time for us to hear from Greg again,

808
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: and I should have known he was gonna come hard

809
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: and try to win this contest. Well when it he

810
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:47,240
Speaker 1: did with this beautiful prank call. If you'll remember Greg

811
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: Morrise from his win, he was the guy that sent

812
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,040

813
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,040

814
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: of squeakers, remember him Rescue squeakers? The same guy. So

816
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,600

Speaker 1: didn't quite pick up what we meant by calling, and

819
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,040

Speaker 1: do it. I can't do it. I could never do it.

882
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: There's no way, no I were At one time when

883
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I prank called the Walmart with

884
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: some friends and I said I was allergic to follic

885
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 1: acid and I needed a breakfast cereal that did not

886
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: contain folic acid. And we had this woman on the

887
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: line for over an hour. While she looked at the

888
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: ingredients of every cereal. It turns out they all have

889
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: fallic acid. This poor woman probably making minimum wage at

890
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: a Walmart. I feel so bad about she probably went

Speaker 1: folic acid for an hour. We've all we've all had things.

894
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:34,319

Speaker 1: people continue to try daily to get me on there.

912
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: So everything comes full circle, full circle with our boy

913
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: Greg Morris. So thank you, Greg, and thanks for for

914
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 1: kicking it in and making us laugh. Um and we're

915
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: gonna end this portion of the Best of was something

916
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: that made us think maybe tear up a little bit,

917
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: and that was from not too long ago, back towards Thanksgiving,

918
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 1: when we were talking about hunting, our fathers, our origins,

919
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: stories and our traditions, and our buddy Ben Upton shared

920
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: this pretty cool story that made me and feel emotional

921
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 1: and we hugged over squadcast. Next up is Ben Upton,

922
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: and I think Ben Upton wins the day and I'll

923
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 1: tell you why. He said. Um, hey Ben Ben here

924
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: for this week's contest. I want to I want to

925
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: share with you a little Thanksgiving time tradition that I've

926
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,399
Speaker 1: established for myself over the past few years. I grew

927
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: up in Vermont with the privilege of learning to deer

928
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: hunt for my dad and grandfather on a two acre

929
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 1: property that we own. It is a beautiful oak and

930
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 1: beech forest that we actually managed for wildlife habitat, much

931
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: like you all do on the Metator back forty So,

932
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: even though that property isn't in your name, I'm sure

933
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: you at least somehow know how special deer hunting on

934
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 1: a family's property is to me. When I started college

935
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: a few years ago on the University of Vermont, I

936
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: met a lot of kids who had similar passions for

937
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: the outdoors as I do, but didn't grow up with

938
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: the privilege of a family of hunters and landed hunt on.

939
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: I decided to make it a tradition each November to

940
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: take a friend who hadn't been deer hunting before down

941
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: to deer camp, lend them a rifle, lend them close,

942
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: and take them out with me to learn how to

943
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: hunt white tails in the hardwoods. This tradition has somehow

944
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: made me even more in love with hunting and strengthened

945
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: my understanding of what it means to hunt and be

946
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: a hunter for the reasons well beyond the scope of

947
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: killing game. This year, after graduating college, I moved to

948
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: Denver to hunt the Rocky Mountains and test my medal

949
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: in a whole new world of back country hunting and

950
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: thus didn't have the opportunity to take a new friend

951
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 1: out with me to deer camp. But through th HC,

952
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,879
Speaker 1: I found a way to do the next best thing.

953
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: You might remember a fellow who rode in a week

954
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,800
Speaker 1: or two ago named Hayes Hyle. He wrote in about

955
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: becoming an adult onset hunter and about the issue of

956
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: wolves in Colorado. While I didn't know Hayes at all,

957
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: he mentioned that he lived in Denver, and I thought

958
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: it would be a cool way to continue my Thanksgiving

959
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 1: tradition in some way. I found Haze on Instagram and

960
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: reached out to him, and I let him know that

961
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,479
Speaker 1: I'd love to talk about hunting with him, and even

962
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: invited him to come duck hunting with me for the

963
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Even though this isn't exactly my

964
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,919
Speaker 1: tradition of taking out a brand new hunter, I still

965
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: feel excited about the prospect of a new hunting buddy

966
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: and the ability to share my passion for hunting was

967
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:26,959
Speaker 1: someone who didn't grow up with it like I did. Well, Phil,

968
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: we're really doing it, buddy. Wait what do you what's

969
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: your reaction to Ben? What Ben's doing? And over there

970
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: in Colorado. I I just still can't get over how

971
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: how this show goes about connecting people. I'll never understand it. Yeah, man, um,

972
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: you know, I know we've had some funny stories before

973
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: where you know game wardens, a game warden in Canada

974
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: who who had found the guy that was trashing public

975
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: lands and then found him later and said that he

976
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: heard the story on our podcast and was now cleaning

977
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,919
Speaker 1: up public ends. Um, but this is is a little

978
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: different for me. So there's I am with you. I

979
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 1: don't understand how how this uh talking into our microphone

980
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: what it means to people. I'd rather not understand it

981
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: because it would be hard to do if I did.

982
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: But I man. Thank you to Ben Upton, Um, thank

983
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: you too to Hayes and Ben. He's actually sent me

984
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 1: a screen grab of their conversation on Instagram, and UM,

985
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: it sounds like they're gonna go hunt, So hopefully they check.

986
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: Hopefully Hayes and Ben check back in with us and

987
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: let us know how the duck hunt wasn't denver um,

988
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: and maybe one of these days we'll get these guys

989
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: out to hunt with me and you once you're a

990
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 1: veteran hunter, or maybe for your first hunt. We got

991
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 1: a lot of prospects out share three years from now,

992
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: three years time we actually get it. Okay, Phil, do

993
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: you want to try to encapsulate what the listeners mean

994
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: to this podcast before we move on? The best way

995
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: to sum it up is to say that without the

996
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,919
Speaker 1: listeners there would be no podcast. And in all see

997
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: curiousness it Ben, it's clear that you care a lot

998
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: about this show and the kind of people you bring

999
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:06,439
Speaker 1: on and the stories you tell, and I think that's

1000
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we we have all the fun we we

1001
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: can have in the first thirty minutes of an episode,

1002
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: but I think people stick around for the stories that

1003
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: are shared on this show and they continue to be

1004
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: to be great. So thank you, Ben, Well, thanks thank

1005
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: you Phil. I would say that one thing that I

1006
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm prone to and that I like is change, like

1007
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: forced change. I like. I don't like to be comfortable.

1008
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: I don't like to be somebody who gets in with

1009
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 1: it's in a groove or lets himself get too comfortable

1010
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: with anything. And so I look at one is a

1011
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 1: year We're gonna We're gonna refocus and get uncomfortable again.

1012
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna find new ways to test ourselves. We're gonna

1013
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: find ways that we haven't explored before, um to poke

1014
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: at hunting to poke as we talked to Clay Newcomb

1015
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: last week about to to kind of rip away the

1016
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: dogma that that is instilled in the in community and

1017
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: try to try to find um different in roads to understanding.

1018
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: So that's what we're gonna do next year. I am

1019
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: going to get uncomfortable again. I'm gonna change. We're gonna

1020
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: do a lot of things different, So you can certainly

1021
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 1: look forward to that. That's just who I am. It's

1022
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: hard for me to think of doing the same thing

1023
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: every week for three four straight years. And so we're

1024
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna wreck shop next year and and do

1025
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 1: things um that maybe you won't expect, maybe some you

1026
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: should because because we do a lot of silly ship

1027
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: around these parts. But before we end the year, there's

1028
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 1: a couple of things we want to do before we

1029
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: end the year. We're going to award the not so

1030
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: sharpest moment. I went back and listened to all we

1031
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: had eighteen not so sharp moments from last year. I

1032
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: went back and listened to every single one of them,

1033
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: and did a lot of laughing along the way, and

1034
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 1: I picked Phil, and I want you to be the

1035
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: final vote here, Phil, can you do that for me?

1036
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,919
Speaker 1: It's a lot of pressure. I'll try my best. Though

1037
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: I have provided the nominees, I'd like you to be

1038
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: the ultimate decider on who gets the throne as the

1039
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: NZO Sharpest Moment of the year, brought you by Work Sharp,

1040
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: and thank you to our friends at work Sharp for

1041
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: helping fund this podcast and our mission and what we

1042
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: do and all the things that are serious and silly

1043
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll have them back. But it's been great

1044
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: to do another year, season two of the Nazi Sharp Moments.

1045
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 1: So Phil, if you don't mind, I'm gonna play each

1046
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: one of these and I want you to to think

1047
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: hard about the one you want to win and then

1048
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: cast your vote at the end. Is that cool? Yes,

1049
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: let's do it? Okay. First up, we have Ashley with

1050
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: a G and an H no last name. She actually

1051
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: uh ate some chicken nuggets off the ground. You'll find

1052
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: out why in a minute. We were gonna have a

1053
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: debate about this Notaza Sharp moment. This came in unfettered

1054
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 1: on and we did not ask for it. People have

1055
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: been sending Anaza Sharp moments people have been doing dumb shit,

1056
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: uh since we last checked in with Noza sharp moments,

1057
01:01:58,120 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 1: and you've all been sending them to me, so I

1058
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 1: have logged them in a folder so we have some.

1059
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: But this is your chance. If you're listening to this

1060
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 1: now and you have a not a sharp moment. We're

1061
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 1: going to do this for the rest of the year,

1062
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: all through the fall. So if you do something stupid,

1063
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: write it down, be creative, and send it in to us.

1064
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 1: But you have to tell the truth, Phil right, you should.

1065
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: You can't make it up. No, we're not going to

1066
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 1: know this one that I'm about to read. I read

1067
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: it a little bit ago and discuss with Joe. You

1068
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 1: have your doubts. I have my doubts about whether it's

1069
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: true or not. And if it is true, it's not

1070
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: so sharp to the maximum, Like it's the least sharp

1071
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard, which is maybe we're sending the

1072
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: bar high though for the first the first moment of

1073
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 1: the kind of what I just want to skip to

1074
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 1: the end because everything else just anyway, I digress. I

1075
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 1: should read it to you. This is from Ashley. I

1076
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: don't know if I won't even say her last name

1077
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: for her sake, don't Ashley. And it's spelled a s

1078
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 1: h l E I A. You know right when you

1079
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: said and it's spelled like, yeah, I knew you were

1080
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: going to say that. Now I'm very upset. Now you're

1081
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: upset enough. You've upset Pail Ashley. Actually, he would prefer

1082
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: you to spell your name like a normal act. Actually,

1083
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 1: now that was the first clue that something was amiss.

1084
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 1: And I saw the spelling of Ashley. But anyway, it's

1085
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: already fake. She her name is Ashley. She's not a hunter,

1086
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 1: but she respects and admires hunters. She doesn't mind getting

1087
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: her hands dirty if her boyfriend who does hunt needs

1088
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 1: an extra set of hands. A huge fan of the

1089
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 1: podcast and the show and everything else that we do,

1090
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: and she listens on her drive. So so right now

1091
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: she does like to go fishing and camping and go

1092
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: outside exploring. You're gonna need to know that for what

1093
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: comes next. I'm gonna do my best work through this.

1094
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: Do we have it like a background music? No, nothing,

1095
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: we need it with this one. I just mean there's

1096
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: more pressure on you to put a lot of life

1097
01:03:56,240 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: into this deliver it actually says I've got five kids

1098
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: and I try to raise them right, and it's still

1099
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: a love of the outdoors every chance I get. I'm

1100
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: also stubborn as an ox, and I've been fortunate enough

1101
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: to have my middle son inherit that particular trait from me.

1102
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of letting my kids learn the

1103
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: hard way, provided it safe to do so. So, of course,

1104
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: when my middle son was eight, he decided he didn't

1105
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: have to listen to me anymore because he was going

1106
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 1: to walk out into the woods and live on his own.

1107
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 1: Do you ever have that notion when you're a young man, Phil,

1108
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: Not at all. You're just gonna go Christopher mccandal list

1109
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 1: and just live in a van uh. I naturally decided

1110
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:35,959
Speaker 1: to let him play playing a three day camping trip,

1111
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: including choosing what to pack, but he could only pack

1112
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: what he could carry. Kid had no real money, but

1113
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm determined that he has to learn how hard you

1114
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: have to work to get things you need. So he

1115
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 1: earned monopoly money by doing chores for other family members

1116
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: over the course of a few weeks, and I had

1117
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 1: a mass the selection of hiking and camping gear for

1118
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: him to purchase before our trip out. Picking this up,

1119
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:02,479
Speaker 1: Phil feel uncomfortable. All right, well, hang on. He could

1120
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 1: only take what he could purchase, and I would only

1121
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 1: pack my own bag with similar items. We were driven

1122
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: two hours out and dropped off at the trail head

1123
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 1: in the morning, with a rendezvous point and pick up

1124
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 1: time established. So far, pretty sharp, it seems great. Pretty sharp? Yeah?

1125
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 1: Learning left going well about five miles in, I realized

1126
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 1: I lost my phone and thus our map and our

1127
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: ability to call for early extraction should something go wrong.

1128
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: Now I just want to make a guy. As I

1129
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 1: was reading and I'm like, well, this is this is

1130
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 1: the time when you turned around and go back out.

1131
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 1: You're not that fireing five miles in? What are you

1132
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 1: doing five miles in? Anyway? Get some exercise? Uh? Okay.

1133
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: At this point all I could do is keep track

1134
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 1: of what turns we were making and head for the lake.

1135
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what like this is, but hopefully it's

1136
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 1: an easy one to find and try to catch some dinner.

1137
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 1: We we found a good spot by the lake, but

1138
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: I had failed to realize that the path we had

1139
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 1: turned down lead to a lake in a recent burn area,

1140
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 1: not the lake that was several miles in the opposite direction,

1141
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: surrounded by all the berry bushes and shade trees we

1142
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,919
Speaker 1: could have asked for. So now you're at the wrong lake.

1143
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 1: There's no shade, no food to be had, So she said,

1144
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 1: I call a break to rest and go relieve myself.

1145
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 1: Normally this story would go in that direction. I would

1146
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: have all the all to do with relieving ones. Classic,

1147
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 1: classic class. When I returned my son returned to my son,

1148
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 1: I find that he has burned every one of our matches,

1149
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 1: trying to start a fire with a stick. Tired, hungry,

1150
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: and irritated, I realized, if we're going to make it

1151
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: to the other lake, we need to eat something. All

1152
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: we had packed were life straws, fishing poles, and survival tabs,

1153
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: because the kid decided he could make it on his own,

1154
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 1: and I conceded that we could survive on the tabs

1155
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 1: as well as hopefully catching some fish, gathering berries and morrels.

1156
01:06:57,560 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 1: I got to pull out to survival tabs only to

1157
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:01,919
Speaker 1: find that he had eating all of them during the hike,

1158
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 1: and while I was answering nature's call, Now I've got

1159
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: a handful morales, no berries, and a fishing pole, and

1160
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: realize we're not going to hike to the other lake

1161
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,919
Speaker 1: without any food, So I set out to fish. I'm

1162
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 1: fishing for hours, not catching a damn thing, getting hunger

1163
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: every minute. A random hiker came along, asking if we

1164
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: minded if he set up camp near us, and if

1165
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: we had any water, as he had made the bright

1166
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: decision himself to hike out ten miles to camp for

1167
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 1: two days, and it only brought a leader of water.

1168
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: Where are you like in the dumbest piece of timber ever?

1169
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 1: Who water filter? Anybody? You're buy a lake lord and

1170
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: mighty gets worse though, it gets worse. Together we made

1171
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 1: a fairly decent ragtag group of idiots in the woods.

1172
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: Well leash yourself away, self aware, that's exactly what I was.

1173
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 1: There's no way you can type that out and not

1174
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 1: not make that mention. We had two lifestarals, so I

1175
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: traded LifeStraw for a handed fishing, and he and the

1176
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: guest wound up catching the only three fish that were

1177
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: caught that weekend. My son managed to decapitate a garter

1178
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 1: snake with his machete, so we cleaned that and ate

1179
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 1: that as well, if you can even call that eating.

1180
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 1: They ate a gardener snake, okay. On the hike out.

1181
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 1: We passed a couple hiking in and I asked if

1182
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: they happened to have a granola bar despair, and they

1183
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,600
Speaker 1: gave me a pack of cliff blocks, which I devoured

1184
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 1: and of course promptly let me let me pause here.

1185
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 1: Cliff blocks. Do you guys know what those are? Yeah,

1186
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 1: they're chewy, little energy blocks, little energy blocks. So I

1187
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: actually devoured them, and of course she says, of course,

1188
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't know why this would be, and of course

1189
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 1: promptly regurgitated them into a puddle of still perfectly formed

1190
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 1: gummies and water. The only other thing that was in

1191
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 1: my stomach. She forgets, the garter snake. I'm not I'm

1192
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 1: not one to waste, So I rinse those suckers off

1193
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 1: and ate them again. To pause, you guys picture in

1194
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 1: this Ashley's got problems all on our ford, just puking

1195
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: into the dirt and then just scooping them up. The

1196
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 1: great news is they stayed down the second time. This

1197
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 1: is thank god. It gets worse. This is go home

1198
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:27,600
Speaker 1: Ashley with a g In an h by the trailhead,

1199
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: we found three McDonald's chicken nuggets on the ground. Yes,

1200
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: you want to guess what happens next and I should

1201
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 1: you not? They were the best thing I had ever

1202
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: eaten up to that moment in my life. Oh, I mean,

1203
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 1: I can imagine like like a beam of light coming

1204
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 1: down in the clouds shining on the chicken nuggets. Moral

1205
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: of the story is, can't wait for this one. Don't

1206
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 1: let your eight year old plan a camping trip. It's

1207
01:09:55,800 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 1: a not so sharp decision. Okay. Next up is Jane Park.

1208
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 1: Jane used a feminine hygiene product in an interesting way

1209
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 1: and some glue in an even more interesting way. Check

1210
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 1: it out. Okay, this one's a good one, philma Um

1211
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 1: and has everything everything. It's from Jane Park. It just

1212
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: just reminded me of the Stephen from S and I.

1213
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: This this club has everything. Last fall, Jane says, I

1214
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 1: was out whitetail hunting in Alberta. I only had a

1215
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 1: week of hunting left because I had just learned I

1216
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: was going to be deployed to Australia with a bunch

1217
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:42,520
Speaker 1: of other Canadian fire personnel to help with the brush fires,

1218
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 1: so the pressure was on. Because of my cheapness, I

1219
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 1: usually just use the same first aid kid for work,

1220
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 1: play and hunting, but that means I have to swap

1221
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:55,639
Speaker 1: it from my work pack to any other pack. Over

1222
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 1: coffee one crisp morning at hunting camp, my hobby and

1223
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 1: a buddy of ours and I were chatting about first aid, kids,

1224
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,920
Speaker 1: injuries and the like. I mentioned I had forgotten mine

1225
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 1: in my work pack. They rassed me about being so

1226
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:09,880
Speaker 1: cheap I wouldn't just buy another first aid kit, but

1227
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:14,599
Speaker 1: I defended my frugal nature phils, you say that you're

1228
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:18,719
Speaker 1: frugal or no, No, you just let it fly, probably

1229
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:21,040
Speaker 1: to a fault. Oh my gosh. We'll talk about that

1230
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,600
Speaker 1: in future episodes. We each headed to our spot in

1231
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,720
Speaker 1: the woods, and before long I had rattled in a

1232
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 1: little three point the western count Knowing I had only

1233
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 1: one more day left hunt, I sighted in and shot

1234
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:41,879
Speaker 1: him from thirty three again this person's from Canada metric system. Stoked,

1235
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 1: I tagged him and started the process of gutting him.

1236
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: When my knife slipped and zip slice the top of

1237
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 1: my index finger pretty deep, not so sharp. With my

1238
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 1: finger bleeding a lot, and having only started gutting my deer,

1239
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:58,800
Speaker 1: I was in a conundrum. Asked for help and admit

1240
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:00,640
Speaker 1: my lack of first aid kit was biting me in

1241
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:04,639
Speaker 1: the ass or deal with it? What do you do there, Phil,

1242
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna admit my fault six, definitely fix

1243
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 1: the old finger. Looking in my pack, I didn't have much,

1244
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: but being a well prepared lady, the one thing I

1245
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:22,519
Speaker 1: did have was feminine hygiene products and some rope. So

1246
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:25,839
Speaker 1: I washed my cut with snow, tied one of those

1247
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 1: around my finger, and then tied a rope tightly around

1248
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 1: it to stem the bleeding. Without any bandages or tape,

1249
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 1: I couldn't adequately protect the wound from potential nassis inside

1250
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 1: my dear, so I went on to gut my dear

1251
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 1: one handed, with my other hand held in the air

1252
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 1: with a phenomone hygiene products. She says, f HP tied

1253
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:49,680
Speaker 1: to my finger. It's hardcore. She never says what kind

1254
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:54,640
Speaker 1: of f HP Because I'm trying to picture pad that

1255
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 1: would make the most sense, To make the most sense,

1256
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 1: that's very uncomfortable. They're hoping it was a pad. My

1257
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: buddy and my hubby heard the shot, got in touch

1258
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 1: with me and asked if I needed help. My buddy

1259
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 1: was closer, so he came and helped drag the deer

1260
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 1: out of the bush. Back at camp I endured some

1261
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 1: pretty good ribbing and I asked steepishly for some help

1262
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,759
Speaker 1: first aid supplies. Out of my buddy's kit, I grabbed

1263
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,720
Speaker 1: an alcohol swab and some stary strips, which, by the way,

1264
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 1: are awesome, and that's true, I have those of my

1265
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 1: first aid kit. Wiping my finger with a swab was

1266
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:28,680
Speaker 1: super painful, but I figured it was because it was

1267
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 1: pretty deep cut. As I started putting the stairy strips on,

1268
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: it took four It's a big cut. I noticed my

1269
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:41,720
Speaker 1: fingers were sticking together. Okay, okay. It was then that

1270
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 1: I realized I had rubbed the ship out of my

1271
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:51,519
Speaker 1: cut with a glue swab. Uh. This is my favorite

1272
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 1: segment of Every every Week. People are the best. Thankfully,

1273
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:58,360
Speaker 1: my other hand didn't get stuck to my wound, but

1274
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 1: damn those starry strips held good. In the end, my

1275
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:04,559
Speaker 1: cut was healed so good you couldn't even see this car,

1276
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:06,800
Speaker 1: probably because it was glued from the inside out and

1277
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:10,480
Speaker 1: starry stripped. I also bought another first Aid kid specifically

1278
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 1: for my hunting pack the end. The third and final

1279
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,960

1283
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:36,919
Speaker 1: got a guess, but I want you to say it. Huffy, Puffy, Huffy, puffy.

Speaker 1: in George Big fan of the show. George wrote a poem?

1286
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 1: This is? Is this the first not so sharp poem, Phil,

1287
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 1: that we've ever had? Man, there's been so many poems now.

1288
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,760
Speaker 1: I don't remember what category they fall into, but it

1289
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: might be and her write a fucking poem. Wikipedia cult

1290
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:09,040
Speaker 1: leader and poet Ben ben Over Yeah, Poe editor, Okay,

1291
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:12,880
Speaker 1: George Barlow. It was a few days past Christmas and

1292
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 1: the ground was a glow with two inches of powdery snow.

1293
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 1: It was a great day for boarding, and the decision

1294
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: was tough. But instead of a snowboard, I grabbed my

1295
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: hunting stuff. I picked up my shotgun and was met

1296
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:29,760
Speaker 1: at the door by Beasley, my faithful chocolate labrador. I

1297
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 1: knew the police Hills would be covered in snow, and

1298
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: I just knew where the pheasants were likely to go.

1299
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 1: I had to meet my brother. I couldn't be laid

1300
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 1: out the door. I checked the mercury and almost said eight.

1301
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 1: Frigidly cold, but still well worth going. It was a

1302
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 1: blue sky day now, as the snow had stopped snowing.

1303
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:52,719
Speaker 1: After a harrowing drive, we reached our destination. The dog

1304
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 1: bounded out, and, needing no invitation, at the first hawthorn thicket,

1305
01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 1: he put up some birds. My brother shot the first second,

1306
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:03,519
Speaker 1: and I got the third. Then we hit the creek,

1307
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 1: which wasn't too wide. With a good solid leap, I

1308
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 1: could reach the other side. I unloaded my gun, checked

1309
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:12,759
Speaker 1: it once and then twice. With the action still open,

1310
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 1: I leapt over water and ice. I landed across, but

1311
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 1: continued to go. Before I knew it, I was lying

1312
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 1: face first in the snow. When I stood up, I

1313
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:25,799
Speaker 1: found out, to my dissatisfaction, a great deal of snow

1314
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 1: had filled up my action. I used my finger to

1315
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:31,679
Speaker 1: clear what I could, but there was snow up the barrel,

1316
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:35,760
Speaker 1: and that wasn't good. Luckily, the snow was so light

1317
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 1: and fluffy it would surely come out with a little

1318
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 1: huffy puffy. Yeah that was that was stretching it there. Yeah,

1319
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 1: that was some Some clear and concise editing would help

1320
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 1: this I'll just blow it out with some air from

1321
01:16:56,360 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 1: my mouth. I'll just blow it out with some air

1322
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:08,880
Speaker 1: from my mouth. I'll just blow down the barrel. And

1323
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:13,000
Speaker 1: that's when things headed south. I realized that this might

1324
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 1: not be my moment of glory, as I had flashbacks

1325
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:19,760
Speaker 1: of Ralphie, a flagpole and a Christmas story. My brain said,

1326
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: don't do it, but the message was sent. It was

1327
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: traveling down my neurons. I couldn't repent. My lips hit

1328
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: the barrel, felt pain and went numb, and I thought

1329
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 1: to myself, oh damn, I feel dumb. With my lips

1330
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: firmly frozen to the end of the barrel, I couldn't

1331
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: shout or swear sing Christmas carols. I knew then and

1332
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 1: there what couldn't be done. I threw open my mouth

1333
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:44,719
Speaker 1: and left some lips on the gun. I'm not proud

1334
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: of that day or the events that took place, and

1335
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,040
Speaker 1: the fact that I removed part of my lips from

1336
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 1: my face. But now I am wiser because I'm getting

1337
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:56,760
Speaker 1: old advice to you youngsters. Don't lick metal. That's cold play.

1338
01:17:56,800 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 1: The jingle Phil not a sharp moment, so you don't

1339
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 1: have to. Okay, Phil, do you feel prepared to be

1340
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 1: able to pick one of these, Ashley, Jane or George.

1341
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 1: We have the you know, the lady who took her

1342
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: eight year old son camping and let him plan it.

1343
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 1: They didn't They didn't provision well enough. They ended up

1344
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:23,559
Speaker 1: eating a snake. She puked up some gummies and then

1345
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:25,479
Speaker 1: ate him again. And they ate some chicken nut us

1346
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 1: off the ground. You have Jane Park who cut her

1347
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 1: finger trying and tried to get a deer and then

1348
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 1: wrapped it in the feminine hyding product and then glued

1349
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:35,640
Speaker 1: herself together accidentally. And then we have George Barlow, who

1350
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 1: wrote a wonderful poem in the spirit of Christmas about

1351
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 1: trying to blow some snow and dirt out of his

1352
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 1: gun and getting his lips stuck to the barrel. So, Phil,

1353
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,560
Speaker 1: do you feel prepared to make this choice? It's a

1354
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 1: big choice. I mean, I just have to go with

1355
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:51,920
Speaker 1: my gut at some point, Ben, I mean I could

1356
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:54,559
Speaker 1: sit here and way way each of them with a

1357
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:56,800
Speaker 1: lot of detail, but at the end of the day,

1358
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 1: I just got a shoot straight. Um. Do you all

1359
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,639
Speaker 1: would you like me to make my decision now? I would?

1360
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 1: Do you have some sort of drum roll sound effect.

1361
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:07,640
Speaker 1: Of course I do. It's the same cheap one I

1362
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:11,679
Speaker 1: use every time. Perfect letter, buddy, and give us the winner.

1363
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:16,080
Speaker 1: I want to give an honorary mentioned to Jane. I

1364
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 1: thought that was a great story and but honestly I

1365
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 1: was more impressed I had than than anything that that

1366
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: she thought to use the pad and um, it didn't

1367
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:27,640
Speaker 1: go quite as planned. But yeah, i'm am she's not

1368
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 1: a finalist though. Um it's between George and Ashley, I

1369
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 1: have to say, and it is. Ashley actually is the winner.

1370
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 1: Not a shocker, not a shocker. Congratulations. Actually it was

1371
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: really it was the first thing we read in season two,

1372
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 1: and it was the dumbest. I could not believe what

1373
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 1: you were saying when you were saying. It was one

1374
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 1: of those stories that I just I know I said

1375
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 1: it in the in the bit there, I did not

1376
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: think it was. I was reading, There's no way this

1377
01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 1: could be true. But Phil convinced me that the amount

1378
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 1: of detail in the story, there's no way someone was

1379
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 1: sat down and made this up. There's no way when

1380
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 1: somebody would have taken the time. And I did have

1381
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 1: some back and forth with Actually after that where she

1382
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 1: sent me some more photos, and I gotta tell you

1383
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:13,639
Speaker 1: she was she was not lying. Uh, this really happened,

1384
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 1: And so I I think you're right on Phil, and

1385
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:20,439
Speaker 1: I think she wins for the for the pure visual

1386
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 1: of someone on the all all fours puking out gummies

1387
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 1: and then eating them again and then uh, finding some

1388
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:31,760
Speaker 1: savior chicken nuggets on the ground and eating those. Not

1389
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 1: no one were how they got to be on the ground.

1390
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:37,800
Speaker 1: But thanks George, Thanks Jane thinks, Ashley thinks everybody who

1391
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 1: wrote in. We still have hundreds of unread nots of

1392
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 1: sharp moments that will maybe one day put in a vault.

1393
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what we're gonna do with them, but

1394
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 1: there's so many of them, and so maybe there'll be

1395
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:50,160
Speaker 1: a season three. We don't know. But for now we're

1396
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 1: gonna say goodbye to the not so sharp moments and

1422
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 1: and Girls, This is called the kids corner of the

1423
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:45,920
Speaker 1: special holiday special. When we get a visit from Big

1424
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 1: Man himself and you, you people who might not appreciate

1425
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 1: how special saying is, let me let me hit you

1426
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:55,080
Speaker 1: with this. That's something I'd like to revisit. This is

1427
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 1: uh this some stats pulled by Spy magazine many years ago.

1428
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:03,839
Speaker 1: This establishes how miraculous the Santa Claus. Just how special

1429
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:06,800
Speaker 1: does it? Have him here? This man? And are this

1430
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:12,080
Speaker 1: man here in our presence? He every year services and

1431
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 1: estimated three hundred and seventy eight million Christian children. If

1432
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:21,719
Speaker 1: you imagine that fift of those Christian children are bad

1433
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 1: and don't get anything, so he doesn't need to do

1434
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 1: anything for him. And you give it that, you have

1435
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:29,400
Speaker 1: a whopping three point five Christian children per household. This

1436
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 1: man still is visiting every year eight million homes. Even

1437
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 1: with the rotation of the earth. He's only got thirty

1438
01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 1: one hours of darkness to get it done. This man

1439
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 1: in our presence right here, a visiting us here today

1440
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:48,920
Speaker 1: can pull off eight hundred and twenty two point six

1441
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 1: home visits per second. It takes him a thousandth of

1442
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: a second to pull off a single home visit. Not

1443
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:02,479
Speaker 1: counting trans oceanic leg of his trip, this man travel

1444
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 1: seventy two million, five hundred twenty two thousand miles every Christmas.

1445
01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: He's going six hundred and fifty miles per second. He's

1446
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 1: going three thousand times the speed of sound. If he

1447
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:19,920
Speaker 1: were to only bring each kid him easily two pounds

1448
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 1: of presents, this man pulls three hundred and twenty one

1449
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 1: thousand tons of toys behind him in his sleigh, his

1450
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 1: lead reindeer. His lead reindeer at these speeds is absorbing

1451
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 1: fourteen point three quintillion jewels of energy per second. If

1452
01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 1: these were normal reindeer, he would be sloughing off. If

1453
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:47,599
Speaker 1: these were first off, these are nor reindeer, he would

1454
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:50,760
Speaker 1: need two hundred, fourteen thousand and two hundred reindeer to

1455
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 1: pull that load in four point to six thousands of

1456
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: a second. Two fourteen reindeer at this speed when he

1457
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 1: sloped off into car at that at those speeds, Stephen, Stephen,

1458
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 1: I'm not a numbers guy, but that sounds wonderful. This

1459
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 1: man sitting here today is subjected to send trivical forces

1460
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:17,960
Speaker 1: seventeen thousand, five hundred times greater than the Earth gravitational force.

1461
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:22,559
Speaker 1: He is pinned to the back of his sled with

1462
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 1: four million, three hundred seventy five thousand and fifteen tons

1463
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 1: of force at those speeds. Ladies and gentleman standing class,

1464
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:34,160
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. If he can't do that, if

1465
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: he can't do that, and then he damn sure wouldn't

1466
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:40,520
Speaker 1: be able to write a good poem. Damn right. Listen, Stephen, Uh,

1491
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:27,479
Speaker 1: The bass layers were hung in the wall tent with

1492
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:30,639
Speaker 1: care and hopes that first light soon would be there.

1493
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 1: Janice or Janice was nestled all snug in his cot

1494
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 1: with visions of crosshairs and taking the shots with and

Speaker 1: Cal in his lip broom, and Steve and his wool.

1496
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:50,720
Speaker 1: They each had a bottle of whiskey to pull. When

1497
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:54,759
Speaker 1: out of the darkness arose such a sound Stephen sprang

1498
01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:58,600
Speaker 1: from his chair to see what was around away to

1499
01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:01,400
Speaker 1: the tent, flap. Taking a media it flight, he threw

1500
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:05,360
Speaker 1: back the canvas and stepped into the night. With an

1501
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 1: led lamp strapped to his head. He saw in the

1502
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 1: darkness a buck in its bed. And what, to his

1503
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:17,280

Speaker 1: rubbed every tree yea, his frame was wide and taking

1505
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:25,559
Speaker 1: one more look, it was a buck. Moon and Crockett

01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:30,240
Speaker 1: would put into their book his times. How they twinkled,

1507
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:34,280
Speaker 1: his muscles, hal tents, his aunt was like the pickets

1508
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 1: and the most wonderful fence. The big giant buck had

1509
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 1: a broad, saggy belly that shook when he laughed, like

1510
01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:48,040
Speaker 1: a bowl full of jelly. Calm down, Mark Kenyon, you

01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 1: do not sweat. You are a sweat here. I'm like

1514

1515
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:07,280
Speaker 1: and plump, full of cold fighting fat. Though the meat

1516
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:11,160
Speaker 1: eater man had ruined his nap, Steve dreamed to be

1517
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:14,800
Speaker 1: shouldering and naming his gun, gripping and grinning. Sure it

1518
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:19,400
Speaker 1: would be fun. The buck piste on his tossils and

1519
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:22,639
Speaker 1: with a twist of his head, let Stephen know there

1520
01:29:22,680 --> 01:29:26,200
Speaker 1: would be nothing to dread. He sprang down the trail,

1521
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:30,639
Speaker 1: looking just like a missile, and the way he flew

1522
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 1: like the down of a thistle. But the hunter exclaimed

1523
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:39,719
Speaker 1: as the buck ran out of you, I hear does

1524
01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:44,000
Speaker 1: and spike box have tasty back straps too? Ho ho

1525
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:51,439
Speaker 1: ho beat eaters. Then I just wrote that. Now exilt

1526
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:57,599
Speaker 1: me one minute in twelve seconds. That's valuable time, quite elf?

1527
01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:06,400
Speaker 1: Who let you out of the workshop? Santa, thank you

1528
01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:09,640
Speaker 1: so much for dropping by. There ends the end of

1529
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 1: the kid's corner of the special Holiday Specialist. And if

1530
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:14,640
Speaker 1: you'd like, we're gonna step out of this room and

1531
01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:18,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna go do the Latvian holiday tradition of melton lead.

1532
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:21,800
Speaker 1: And then you breathe all those toxic fumes and then

1533
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:24,960
Speaker 1: you throw the lead into a bucket. It's a bucket

1534
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:28,519
Speaker 1: of water. The lead solidifies into a crazy shape. You

1535
01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 1: hold the shape up and make a finger puppet with it,

1536
01:30:31,280 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 1: and then that predicts your future if you care to

1537
01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:35,280
Speaker 1: join us. I have no idea what you're talking about.

1538
01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:39,400
