0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 1>egg sact is discarded and when it washes up on

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:17.479
<v Speaker 1>the beach, people will find it and it's known as

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 1>a Mermaid's purse. Yeah, because we're talking about whether Mermaid

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:25.160
<v Speaker 1>would be like just curious how much people have thought through,

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.880

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't see an orifice. Yeah, I would think that

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:01.600
<v Speaker 1>they're a sexual, but they use their sexuality to get stuff.

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I gotta come from some like that. Man. That's good,

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.440

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>to you taking time. I love this. I love this man.

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Quick question. The guy uh was right and and wanted

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 1>to get our thoughts. I'm using a baby's umbilic record

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:30.239
<v Speaker 1>as fishing bait. Um. He says he's kept he's kept

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>why he's kept it. He's kept in his dresser. He's

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 1>kept in his dresser. I don't know, man, you have

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>to rehydrate it. Uh, but it'd be a real conversation piece.

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 1>And it led to um. I saw that I was

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 1>might have another email we got from a guy who

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>was saying that he catches fish. He takes you know,

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 1>foam earplugs. Yeah, yeah, he takes lead lead jigheads and

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>puts foam earplugs on here and says it slays orange.

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Puts an orange foam ear plug onto a lead head

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>of jig. Does he put some scent on this that

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>they'd hold? Sent he had a note about scent on

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 1>interesting man, I just wonder if they're neutraally buoyant because

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 1>it's got a lead head and a foam body. He

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>even sent pictures of fish he's caught that way. He

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 1>just threads it right on there like a soft plastic.

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, he uses the foam of ear plug And

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he's say, I feel like sometimes

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 1>people are yanking our chain. He says, he pisces on

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>and it makes it work better. Um, he's at home

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.680
<v Speaker 1>cracking up that you actually said he was like it worked.

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:43.320

<v Speaker 1>I do not remember Steve figured oh wait it was

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>there was someone he knew was like trying to drop

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 1>feed the transla water and and keep it hydrated. Like yeah,

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.360
<v Speaker 1>so they were talking about getting in between the little pincers. Yeah,

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 1>So a trance La hawk is a predator, a Transula predator,

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>and the Transla hawk paralyze injects. The Transla paralyzes the

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.679
<v Speaker 1>Transla and then it uses like there's like a term

0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.199
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember what is, like a parasite. It's like

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 1>a parasit and now suster and then it lays its

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>egg on the trantula. The tranchula stays alive. He's alive

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>but doesn't move, and the parasite the egg hatches, and

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the larva is strategic about how it consumes the trantula.

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:21.440
<v Speaker 1>What's the name of this episode? Why it hurts so bad? Dr?

0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Schmidt on why it hurts so bad? So it feeds

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 1>on it, like it eats its non essential organs. First,

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just like so dastardly, like like eats its non

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>essential organs, and then like eats and eats, and eventually

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:38.679
<v Speaker 1>it's like, hey, I about used you up. And then

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>they'll like eat the thing that kills it. And they've

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:46.200
<v Speaker 1>gone in um to see like well like how long

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 1>how lingering is the paralysis and so they've gone and

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just like this stuff you can't do

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>to people, you can't even do this the rabbits anymore.

0:10:56.080 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 1>But they would go and like keep it the tranchula hydrated,

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 1>two to see how they just watch what happened. It's

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, it's pretty fucked up. Yeah, so they keep

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.560
<v Speaker 1>it they hydrated, like keep nursing it along. You know.

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's the things you can get away with

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 1>when it's a tarantula. But this guy wrote in and

0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:25.199
<v Speaker 1>said that, um, he's got a weird, crazy aunt in

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Arizona and she has rescued, rescued tarantulas from Transla hawks.

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>And she makes a little concoction of um, what she

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:50.840
<v Speaker 1>calls bug soup. She gets crickets and window flies and

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 1>she mashes them up with a little water into a

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 1>little mixture and puts in the eye dropper and drips

0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 1>it into the mouth of the trantula. And he says

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>it does quote it does seem to work. Um, the

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 1>translate first won't drink, usually due to confusion paralysis. Then

0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 1>by a hair two or three it will start accepting.

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 1>It takes her about three weeks to get a Transla

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 1>up and running. I think we need to tell Dr

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Schmidt who this person is. And uh, yeah, because the

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, she's usually able to get the translate back

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:35.560
<v Speaker 1>up and on his way. The world's mad news, and

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 1>then you get a little gem of glimmer hope. There's

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 1>something missing here, though, whisper How does she rid the

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.680
<v Speaker 1>transula of the larvae that's gonna eat it? Or is

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.319
<v Speaker 1>eating it? He doesn't get into that. I'm guessing she

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 1>plucks it off. Why am I here? He said? Now,

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 1>when she's here, you mean, like, because we could have

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 1>this first. It's just timing. You're already in the air

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and we're like, man, this guy's coming. It's like the

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:12.559
<v Speaker 1>wrong person. He's already connecting. It's not like city, she said.

0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 1>He goes down to say that when she takes so

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>it's before the egg land because the translog gets upset

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 1>when she takes the transil away. But you know, then

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:29.000
<v Speaker 1>she starts the rehabilitation program. It's great. Tell us about

0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.680
<v Speaker 1>your podcast, Like, can you run through all the things

0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:37.319
<v Speaker 1>you do? Sure? Yeah, I'm first and foremost, like I'm

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 1>a comedian. I guess I'm an actor. I'm gonna be

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 1>on a new Kevin James's new Netflix show as an actor.

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 1>As an actor, do what is it like? Once a comedian,

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 1>always a comedian, Like, is that like the thing that

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.959
<v Speaker 1>if you start out as a comedian and you regard

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 1>yourself as a comedian and then you start acting in

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.720
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff, do you get do you guys? You

0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.600
<v Speaker 1>guys like to stick with comedian like that has more

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.520
<v Speaker 1>cash a you feel. I think it's more it's like

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 1>a fraternity. It's kind of like a fraternity that we're

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 1>all in because everyone who's a comedian starts out in

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>comedies somehow, and then everyone branches off somehow. Like the

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 1>guy who wrote Twelve Years of Slave was a stand

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:16.440
<v Speaker 1>up comic and like he's still a comedian in my eye. Yeah,

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean so it's like I think that there's it's

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 1>a very cool umbrella to be able to do a

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of different things. Like I started with stand up,

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 1>now I do acting, I sell TV shows, I write.

0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I just started this podcast which is quickly becoming, you know,

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the I think the most listened to or watch things

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 1>that I've ever done, which is cool. Green Eggs and Dan.

0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>It's simply going into celebrities fridges UH and getting in

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 1>just an in depth conversation about their relationship to food

0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 1>and to eating and UH and restaurants and whatnot. But

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I think there's this wireistic aspect of I'm sure a

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of people want to know what your fridge looks like, Steve,

0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:02.120
<v Speaker 1>and guess what they're going to find out, you know. Um,

0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, I think, um, you know, I do that.

0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 1>But stand up still remains like something that is like,

0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'll still do it on the weekends and

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:15.800
<v Speaker 1>it's just very very It's when you feel yourself. You know,

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 1>how many eggs you cycle through in a year, so

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 1>like it's like a one of year. It's like an

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 1>annual kind of thing. I don't know. I mean, some

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 1>some guys do that. They'll they'll do a new hour

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 1>every year. I think I'm branching off more into the

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 1>writing and TV developing, So for me, it's more just

0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>like getting out there for fun. Um. But uh yeah,

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 1>it's uh do you just do walk on? Like what

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 1>do you do? I's you know, all the clubs in

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 1>l A or in New York wherever I am, I

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 1>can usually walk into and they'll be they'll give me

0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:47.240
<v Speaker 1>a spot you show up. Yeah, I mean, but I

0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 1>used to tour a ton and actually I was in Bozeman,

0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Montana about fifteen years ago at the university. I'm forty one. Yeah, uh,

0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 1>and it was a way different place. It's very like,

0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, we just went to like a very hip,

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:07.760
<v Speaker 1>cool bakery and had like artisanal sandwiches and bosem in Montana.

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I did not think that was gonna happen. Let me

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 1>guess which one you went starts with fet it I see. Yeah,

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 1>it was delicious different than fifteen years ago. Different years,

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, I was only what you I was sure

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I was better figuring this kind of stuff out. What

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>year would that have been. I might have been living here,

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.000
<v Speaker 1>it was probably two thousand four or five. No, I

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 1>was in Miles City. Yeah, I used to hear it

0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 1>was a different Probably debated driving over to catch the show, really,

0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:47.880
<v Speaker 1>but weren't able to make I believed he really. But

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:49.560
<v Speaker 1>that's why, Yeah, I want to go. I'm gonna ask.

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I want to get into your get into your lineage

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. But first, when your stand up, do

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 1>people um like I'm very very tempted right now to say,

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 1>like tell me a joke, yea, that's I'll tell you

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.920
<v Speaker 1>that's the equipment. I'm really not I'm really trying to

0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:13.760
<v Speaker 1>not say that is just know that you're you're instinct

0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 1>to do. That is the same as when people come

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 1>up to you and they need to tell you this

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:24.359
<v Speaker 1>hunting story. Just show me, show me a picture of

0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:31.520
<v Speaker 1>their cousins, neighbors, friends, book. Yeah, same exact thing. How

0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.440
<v Speaker 1>does that make you feel, Steve? It makes you feel

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:39.879
<v Speaker 1>like leaving the wedding? Am Um, do you do? Do

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you currently do the show? Um? The gazillionaiion dollar properties?

0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 1>It's like a parody of property show. Yeah, it's a

0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.560
<v Speaker 1>parody of the like a thing that you guys are

0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:51.080
<v Speaker 1>like on a schedule. You just kind of do it

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 1>when you do it. We did it for five years. Uh,

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.280
<v Speaker 1>it's it's over now, but it's still it's still playing

0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.639
<v Speaker 1>on a bunch of different platforms. But that's on Pluto.

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 1>It was, it's on Pluto now. Really, it was probably

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the most fun show I've ever done because it was

0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 1>all improvised. It was a completely improvised show, and it

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>was like a parody on million dollar Listing, And it

0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.119
<v Speaker 1>was just so much fun because we got the craziest

0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.399
<v Speaker 1>like celebrities in to be like the house owners or

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 1>people shopping for houses, like Zach Alfanakis was on. I

0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:22.680
<v Speaker 1>mean it was crazy. It was really really fun and

0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the episodes are all out there. Um, if you want

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.080
<v Speaker 1>to watch him, I don't know. So that's done though,

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 1>that's done. Now new is this this Netflix show? It's

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 1>called The Crew with Kevin James. It's about a NASCAR

0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 1>pit crew. Yeah, and it's a multi caam comedy. It's

0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:41.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna be awesome. Really Yeah, what is multi caam comedy?

0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad you asked you, just like we planned before. Um,

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:49.320
<v Speaker 1>a multi caam is like you know, when you see

0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.920
<v Speaker 1>a comedy that has like a laugh track, that's usually

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:53.920
<v Speaker 1>a multi caam. But you guys are gonna use a

0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 1>laugh track like, man, we actually have a real live

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.400
<v Speaker 1>studio audience that we filmed in front of. Ye see,

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:03.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not Yeah, you're not familiar with laugh track? Phil? Phil?

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Can you uh play the some mash laugh track? Get

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 1>way here? A matter of fact, hold on, I love

0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.440
<v Speaker 1>that last show that you remember when the laugh track

0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 1>is Matt because they used it and abused it. They did,

0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:23.120
<v Speaker 1>they did. It was almost it was like a parody

0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.159
<v Speaker 1>of a last Well it's the Korean War. They had

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to ask the Seinfeld Sefel tracks laugh track, Big Bang theory.

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 1>You don't even notice it right you're watching it. When

0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I told my kids, you'll watch it and you'll listen

0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.840
<v Speaker 1>to people laughing. My kids like a show that has

0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:42.840
<v Speaker 1>a laugh track, And when I tried to explain it

0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:47.680
<v Speaker 1>to him, they looked at me like zero company. I'm like, no,

0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:51.080
<v Speaker 1>that's a record they're playing. Listen, it's the same Listen,

0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:56.800
<v Speaker 1>it's the same people laughing, Like, no, it's not. We do. Actually,

0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:01.960
<v Speaker 1>it's just the people that you need to be told

0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 1>when to laugh. That's why you need the laughter. No,

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.360
<v Speaker 1>but we actually do film in front of a live audience,

0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.680
<v Speaker 1>like two or fifty people. I swear, man, I swear,

0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll show you a little video and yeah, yeah, it's wild.

0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 1>It's a live audience. But why multicam. It's just because

0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.600
<v Speaker 1>there's four cameras on you, and it's it's almost like

0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 1>it was a single cam. So a single cam has

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>multiple locations and it's not just like kind of confined

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:30.840
<v Speaker 1>if you think about if you think about multicams, uh,

0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.359
<v Speaker 1>you know the laugh TRACKIE shows, they usually have like

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:38.480
<v Speaker 1>three set pieces like Seinfeld the diner, and then like

0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.480
<v Speaker 1>usually a third one that's like a new one. So

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 1>but if you think of uh, I'm trying to think

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:46.520
<v Speaker 1>of a good single. You know, if you look like

0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Silicon Valley or these shows, they're kind of like running.

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 1>They're like going around in the world and they're sneaking

0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:56.200
<v Speaker 1>in out of places. Enthusiasm single overplay, Yeah, exactly. It's

0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:57.920
<v Speaker 1>like you're just following you a fly on the wall

0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:02.360
<v Speaker 1>of his life. So that's that's the main difference. Yeah,

0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:05.439
<v Speaker 1>but it's a big deal for you. It's a big deal, man.

0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 1>It's probably the biggest deal of my career so far.

0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:11.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a it's a pretty congratulate, very excited. I'm more

0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:14.680
<v Speaker 1>excited to be on the Meat Eater podcast though. The

0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:21.600
<v Speaker 1>dollar the times cool. This is zero cam. That's not true.

0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:23.480
<v Speaker 1>That's not true. We have all these cameras that we

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 1>don't use. It are using these cameras right now, right now,

0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:29.200
<v Speaker 1>zero cam, zero cam. Today. We're working on it. And

0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:31.359
<v Speaker 1>but we are going to use a laugh track. Of course.

0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I actually do have a giant bank of laugh tracks.

0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea what but for for for me,

0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:40.560
<v Speaker 1>please I would like you to pull from specifically from

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 1>the mash one. Okay, got it, that's a great laugh track.

0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Tell me about how you came to be in the world. Uh,

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 1>in the world of hunting. No, no, no, the world,

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:53.639
<v Speaker 1>the world. Oh yeah. So my wife always cracks me

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:57.360
<v Speaker 1>um because she has friends who were from Iran. Yeah,

0:21:57.520 --> 0:21:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and doesn't like me to say I Ran, I Ran.

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 1>What do you How do you run? I say Iran?

0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you correct people? No? No, I don't care. I

0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:07.840
<v Speaker 1>don't really care. I think it's weird when people say

0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Persian because I'm like, yo, that empire is gone, not

0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 1>trying to hold on like Turkish people aren't. You don't describe,

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:21.359
<v Speaker 1>so I go I I don't know. I think Persian

0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:22.879
<v Speaker 1>is how they like to refer to the culture. But

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I Irani and American more American Iranian. But where were

0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you born? I was born in New York. I was

0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:31.679
<v Speaker 1>born New York. My parents, though, are both from Iran.

0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.399
<v Speaker 1>And I go back like my twenty three and me

0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 1>like it's sent back just like a picture of like,

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:41.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, homeless. It was like your fucking Persian. Yeah.

0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 1>So when did they moved here? Did they move here

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.920
<v Speaker 1>after the revolution or just before they saw the writing

0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.240
<v Speaker 1>on the wall a little bit? And you don't bounce

0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:52.400
<v Speaker 1>back and forth, no, man, But both yourn. I'm sorry

0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:57.960
<v Speaker 1>both of my porn star parents. Now, yeah, but we're

0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:02.119
<v Speaker 1>Iranian Jews, so you know, the Islamic Republic is not

0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:06.399
<v Speaker 1>saw the writing on the wall. This was like like

0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 1>getting out of Germany. Yeah, exactly. So um so Irani

0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:15.159
<v Speaker 1>and Jews and they moved to New York and they're

0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:19.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of a rare breed. But um uh yeah.

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in a very very very Jewish neighborhood

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:26.879
<v Speaker 1>outside of Long Island, and guns and hunting were like,

0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, kryptonite. I'm sure growing up from the New

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:34.639
<v Speaker 1>York into things, I don't know. But would that be

0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:37.479
<v Speaker 1>true from the from the mother country into things as well?

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't from the Jewish kind of things. It is

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:44.320
<v Speaker 1>for sure. Hunting is is not a thing. Um it's

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, first of all, just kosher wise, it's not

0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:50.680
<v Speaker 1>kosher to eat game. No, it's not true to hunted game. Yeah,

0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:52.560
<v Speaker 1>but you know what you could do? You know what

0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:58.320
<v Speaker 1>the you know what the um yeah, yeah, okay. I

0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:00.480
<v Speaker 1>asked the guy at hobbad House one time how you

0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:03.320
<v Speaker 1>could go about having kosher wild game, and he kicked

0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:05.639
<v Speaker 1>it around and got back to me, and he felt,

0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:08.600
<v Speaker 1>if you caught a deer in the net, yeah, and

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:10.680
<v Speaker 1>then slit its throat and then brought it to the

0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 1>kosher slaughter and he split its throat and checked it

0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:17.880
<v Speaker 1>for TV and other diseases. He felt that it could

0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:21.280
<v Speaker 1>be kosher wild game, but he couldn't see another way

0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:23.840
<v Speaker 1>of going about it. And then you run into all

0:24:23.880 --> 0:24:27.960
<v Speaker 1>these regulatory issues because you can't catch them in nets

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 1>and drive them home and stuff. Now you gotta get

0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:31.680
<v Speaker 1>like a net gun. Well, I mean just you just

0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 1>get in trouble too if you tell him like, well,

0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I caught it a net. Yeah. Yeah, No, I wanted

0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:38.199
<v Speaker 1>me to correct you there. No, it's all good, I mean,

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:41.520
<v Speaker 1>but I gotta ask. I gotta ask nothing before you

0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:43.680
<v Speaker 1>get to this. Just one last quick question before the

0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:48.120
<v Speaker 1>hunting thing at that time, like when your parents emigrated, yeah,

0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 1>was for people for for Jews from Iran? Would it

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:57.640
<v Speaker 1>have been like should we go to Israel or the US? Well,

0:24:57.800 --> 0:25:00.159
<v Speaker 1>was that like a toss up? That was absolutely the

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:03.520
<v Speaker 1>toss up. And they actually went to Israel first, and

0:25:03.680 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 1>then they decided. I think my mom told me they

0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:09.480
<v Speaker 1>went to like uh, it was like a circumcision of

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:12.320
<v Speaker 1>like one of their friends kids and like and like

0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:14.560
<v Speaker 1>someone like raised the baby and was like this will

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:17.119
<v Speaker 1>be the next great general of our country. And my

0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:22.480
<v Speaker 1>mom was like this ship for my kids. I'm going

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 1>along island she wanted to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So you know,

0:25:28.280 --> 0:25:30.480
<v Speaker 1>we were in Sparta and we were all like Hellenic.

0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:33.600
<v Speaker 1>She was like, get that, let's go back to the arts,

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:39.520
<v Speaker 1>which is fun. And it's another thing. It's interesting though

0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 1>because in America, Jews in general, I feel like, are

0:25:42.760 --> 0:25:46.280
<v Speaker 1>very uh anti gun Karen, would you jump on this

0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:47.720
<v Speaker 1>with me, even though you told me your dad was

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 1>like a closet gun guy. Yeah, um, yeah, but you

0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:53.840
<v Speaker 1>don't see, you know, I feel like it's not very

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 1>just living amongst my friends in New York or l A.

0:25:58.160 --> 0:25:59.440
<v Speaker 1>And like the ones that find out that I have

0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:03.000
<v Speaker 1>a gun, they lose their fucking minds. Um. Which is

0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 1>interesting because in Israel, I think there's more gun ownership

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 1>than like any other country. Yeah, I would think that.

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't, I don't, I don't. I shouldn't

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:11.800
<v Speaker 1>even speculate, but I could imagine there's more of a

0:26:12.240 --> 0:26:15.240
<v Speaker 1>in Israel. There's more of a you know, more of

0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a culture of self defense. Absolutely absolutely, um, but yeah,

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean we I feel like the Jews lost that

0:26:21.800 --> 0:26:23.800
<v Speaker 1>when they came to America. So anyway, I grew up

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:27.160
<v Speaker 1>in that this. I've never seen a gun before, never

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:32.200
<v Speaker 1>thought about having a gun before. And then I basically

0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:36.159
<v Speaker 1>I went to college and I became friends with this

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:43.320
<v Speaker 1>guy Mohanned al Humadi. Hey mo um, who is the

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:47.960
<v Speaker 1>rocky Muslim guy? Where'd you go to college? Johns Hopkins? Okay,

0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:52.959
<v Speaker 1>where's that? It's in Baltimore, Baltimore. Um, oh dude, it's

0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:56.400
<v Speaker 1>a big medical school, it is. I was pre mad doctor. Yeah.

0:26:57.000 --> 0:27:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Um but yeah, so me and me, and I was

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:02.720
<v Speaker 1>just gonna say by it, he was a hunter. He

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:04.600
<v Speaker 1>was a hunter. He grew up and he grew up

0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:07.719
<v Speaker 1>in upstate New York and only his parents immigrated from

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Iraq after like the Irani Rock War, so literally a

0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:14.840
<v Speaker 1>war between my country and his country. He and his

0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:19.760
<v Speaker 1>family emigrated. She was just primed. Seriously, you couldn't have

0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:25.680
<v Speaker 1>designed two greater enemies like Shakespearean and uh so we

0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:29.919
<v Speaker 1>uh we became buds and uh it's funny we had

0:27:30.040 --> 0:27:32.720
<v Speaker 1>we didn't have a lot of common, but I think

0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:34.680
<v Speaker 1>it's college. So like it was like, yeah, yeah, do

0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:39.280
<v Speaker 1>you smoke weed? I spoke let's be friends. So differences

0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:43.360
<v Speaker 1>behind um. But he told me he was a hunter

0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:46.119
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, that's fucking crazy. Why do you

0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:42.720
<v Speaker 1>found that to be true. I don't think it's going

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to experience. I'll ask you once in a while what

0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:14.880
<v Speaker 1>You gotta get your hands on that book anyway, your

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:20.560
<v Speaker 1>body Dr moh old Man lands and Olan, and you know,

0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:22.680
<v Speaker 1>it's very hard to live there and not pick up

0:29:22.760 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 1>hunting um that. But man, they must have thought that,

0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 1>like they must have been to him, the local hunting guys. Yeah,

0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm super must have been, dude, come again now, Yeah,

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 1>making some assumptions about their character. He is, and he's

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:42.880
<v Speaker 1>correct about absolutely correct. I'm not saying they wouldn't welcome him.

0:29:42.920 --> 0:29:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I just think there would have been pause. But from

0:29:46.960 --> 0:29:52.000
<v Speaker 1>where Okay. Yeah, here's the interesting thing though. As much

0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:54.960
<v Speaker 1>as they probably were like what the funk is this

0:29:55.520 --> 0:29:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Iraqi Muslim guy doing in our town, that Iraqi Muslim

0:29:58.600 --> 0:30:01.040
<v Speaker 1>guy was one of a few urgins in the town,

0:30:01.600 --> 0:30:04.600
<v Speaker 1>so they had no choice, Like he was helping all

0:30:04.640 --> 0:30:06.600
<v Speaker 1>their grandmothers and grandfathers and this and that he was

0:30:07.120 --> 0:30:10.640
<v Speaker 1>so as a result, I mean his family, which is

0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:13.720
<v Speaker 1>like I think he mostly lives there. We'll get to

0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:15.640
<v Speaker 1>that in a minute. But they became these kind of

0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:20.400
<v Speaker 1>ambassadors for Islam in this in this little town, which

0:30:20.480 --> 0:30:23.200
<v Speaker 1>is probably effective. Absolutely. I mean they you know, they

0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:26.160
<v Speaker 1>they I think they built or they donated to the

0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:29.640
<v Speaker 1>to the what's it called the y m c A.

0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:32.840
<v Speaker 1>They're like they it's like the doctor Adel al Humadi

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:36.239
<v Speaker 1>m C. It's like a real mind fuck. But um,

0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:39.120
<v Speaker 1>they became they became hunters, and they got really and

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 1>he got really into it. So Moe grew up and

0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:43.800
<v Speaker 1>was a hunter and played ice hockey and all the

0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, all the things that you do over there.

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Was he I don't mean to turn this into you

0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:52.840
<v Speaker 1>know what do they have mo out? Sometimes? Was was

0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:58.560
<v Speaker 1>he into um sort of like the history and the

0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:02.480
<v Speaker 1>culture of American hunting where he just he just liked

0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:03.640
<v Speaker 1>to go out. I mean, was he sort of like

0:31:03.680 --> 0:31:07.520
<v Speaker 1>a student of it. I think, well he's become one,

0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:10.480
<v Speaker 1>for sure, He's become one for sure. He did he

0:31:10.640 --> 0:31:13.480
<v Speaker 1>fish too, I mean green Lakes right there, Like I

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:15.480
<v Speaker 1>don't think you know, he wasn't he wasn't a fisherman.

0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:19.800
<v Speaker 1>It was it was dear all deer all. Yeah. Yeah,

0:31:19.840 --> 0:31:22.960
<v Speaker 1>they had they had a little his dad bought land

0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:26.560
<v Speaker 1>in Cuba Lake, which is like right around there. And

0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:29.000
<v Speaker 1>it's like, so he's they've got like a little a

0:31:29.080 --> 0:31:32.160
<v Speaker 1>little mountain, a little hill that we go to every

0:31:32.280 --> 0:31:36.880
<v Speaker 1>year there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's awesome. Okay, so you

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:38.960
<v Speaker 1>meet him. So I meet him, and I find it

0:31:38.960 --> 0:31:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and he's a hunter. We become we become close friends.

0:31:41.120 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 1>But again, keep the hunting away from me. He's like

0:31:43.400 --> 0:31:46.680
<v Speaker 1>showing me these pictures. I want to vomit, and then

0:31:46.920 --> 0:31:52.000
<v Speaker 1>you know that that's naught, that is naughty staff and

0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:56.479
<v Speaker 1>then we uh, you know. I moved to New York

0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:58.720
<v Speaker 1>to do comedy and I get into food. I become

0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the I just really started loving the the food world

0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 1>in New York City, and I became a big food nerd.

0:32:04.960 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 1>And and and I read this book The Omnivore's Dilemma,

0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:11.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, this book, Michael Polo, And he had a

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.240
<v Speaker 1>whole chapter about like I think he was the first

0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 1>person who brought up he or you was the first

0:32:16.320 --> 0:32:18.640
<v Speaker 1>person who brought up like, hey, you got to start

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:21.000
<v Speaker 1>thinking about this animal's life if you're gonna eat it.

0:32:21.560 --> 0:32:23.840
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, man, I never because he goes

0:32:23.880 --> 0:32:26.480
<v Speaker 1>on hunts pigs in California the exactly and he gets

0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:28.200
<v Speaker 1>disgusted by it and all that. But he's like, I

0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:29.959
<v Speaker 1>had to do it. And so I had this real

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:31.600
<v Speaker 1>ethical dilemma of like, shit, I think I need to

0:32:31.680 --> 0:32:33.920
<v Speaker 1>kill an animal. So I called Moe and I was like,

0:32:33.960 --> 0:32:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I think I want to kill an animal. And he

0:32:36.240 --> 0:32:40.920
<v Speaker 1>was like, I've been waiting for this phone call, an

0:32:41.040 --> 0:32:42.960
<v Speaker 1>excuse to be alone with the jew and a gun.

0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm just kidding. So at this point, he was

0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:51.120
<v Speaker 1>in med school in Long Island and he was following

0:32:51.160 --> 0:32:54.480
<v Speaker 1>in his father's book following his becoming a surgeon. And

0:32:55.120 --> 0:32:59.640
<v Speaker 1>he was like, let's go goose hunting. You'll kill a goose.

0:33:00.200 --> 0:33:01.720
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, all right, cool, Yeah, I don't

0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:03.720
<v Speaker 1>want to kill a deer, and you know, go for

0:33:03.800 --> 0:33:06.960
<v Speaker 1>a smaller animal. So he's got the fucking you know,

0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:09.000
<v Speaker 1>he's got the canoe and he's got all the gear

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and everything, and we're on Long Island and I know,

0:33:11.080 --> 0:33:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you've ever done an episode in Long Island.

0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Long Island Hunting I'll tell you why not because not

0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:20.959
<v Speaker 1>because we like haven't. Yeah, but I just haven't. I've

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:23.280
<v Speaker 1>looked into a couple of It's a weird thing. I

0:33:23.320 --> 0:33:24.840
<v Speaker 1>should I should say not because we have it, not

0:33:24.960 --> 0:33:29.280
<v Speaker 1>because we you know, decided not to. Well, it's just

0:33:29.360 --> 0:33:30.680
<v Speaker 1>we just have it. I'll tell you. It's a weird

0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:34.480
<v Speaker 1>thing that I understand. I understand. It is a strange

0:33:34.520 --> 0:33:38.720
<v Speaker 1>thing though, because you so we go out in this

0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:41.400
<v Speaker 1>canoe to get to the sandbar where you're allowed to hunt. Okay,

0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I need a little more. Okay, you're we are in uh,

0:33:46.240 --> 0:33:49.840
<v Speaker 1>we're in the north shore of Long Island, Okay, Port Jefferson,

0:33:49.960 --> 0:33:54.080
<v Speaker 1>because like a waterfowl refuge or just just normal I don't.

0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. I knew that we were allowed

0:33:56.160 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 1>to hunt there, and that's where we needed to get out,

0:33:57.760 --> 0:33:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know all the all the I'm not

0:34:00.000 --> 0:34:01.440
<v Speaker 1>in all the right hunting terms and stuff. You can

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:05.880
<v Speaker 1>now it's not like some dudes. You're not You're you're out.

0:34:05.960 --> 0:34:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying you're out, or anybody could go hunting. Yes, yes, yes,

0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:12.560
<v Speaker 1>absolutely absolutely, but you've gotta like take your boat and

0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:16.280
<v Speaker 1>go past all these homes to get to this area,

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:18.600
<v Speaker 1>like there's you know, you're you're you're going past these

0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:22.359
<v Speaker 1>homes and this is where they're not friendly to hunters, okay,

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:25.080
<v Speaker 1>And they suddenly see like a canoe going by and

0:34:25.320 --> 0:34:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, a Jew and a Muslim and Camma with

0:34:27.920 --> 0:34:30.799
<v Speaker 1>sucking guns and they're like, so we got we got

0:34:30.960 --> 0:34:33.680
<v Speaker 1>the fish. And wildlife was called on us all the

0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:38.200
<v Speaker 1>time constantly, and we'd have to show them and it

0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:39.880
<v Speaker 1>was always weird because you know, we're showing them our

0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I d s and his is like and mine is

0:34:43.440 --> 0:34:46.360

0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you boys doing? Not here? So anyway we go, we

0:34:52.200 --> 0:34:54.920
<v Speaker 1>set up these blinds and everybody starts quizzing you. He's like, oh,

0:34:54.960 --> 0:34:57.160
<v Speaker 1>so you're hunting. We'll tell me a little bit about that.

<v Speaker 1>get out there and uh, he sets everything up and

0:35:19.760 --> 0:35:22.479
<v Speaker 1>he's like, you know, just relax, it's gonna be fine.

0:36:05.800 --> 0:36:10.200
<v Speaker 1>he deserves like he's like he's shallow. Yeah, alpha shall

0:36:10.520 --> 0:36:13.320
<v Speaker 1>like to bravado for his own good. I'm feeling it.

0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:15.920
<v Speaker 1>But then I never knew why I liked hunting turkey

0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:17.799
<v Speaker 1>so much. But I think it's just this like form

0:36:17.880 --> 0:36:20.839
<v Speaker 1>of justice that I that I exact upon cocky mail

0:36:20.880 --> 0:36:23.600
<v Speaker 1>turkeys exactly it's like all the bullies that used to

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:25.560
<v Speaker 1>get the girls in front of me, Like yeah, kind

0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:27.239
<v Speaker 1>of people who would come and try to take my

0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:31.359
<v Speaker 1>daughter out school exactly. Um. But then like I feel

0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:33.919
<v Speaker 1>like duck hunting is like the opposite because like they're

0:36:33.960 --> 0:36:36.640
<v Speaker 1>just hungry and you're you're going for the wayward like

0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:39.480
<v Speaker 1>loser ducks who don't have a crew, and they see

0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:41.440
<v Speaker 1>these ducks down there and the call the turn of

0:36:41.520 --> 0:36:44.279
<v Speaker 1>the duck call or whatever is translated. It's like, hey,

0:36:44.560 --> 0:36:46.719
<v Speaker 1>come here, dude, We've got PlayStation. It's funny. Here, come

0:36:46.760 --> 0:36:49.279
<v Speaker 1>hang out. And then you're killing like this nerdy like

0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:54.320
<v Speaker 1>you're killing the middle school version of me basically. So anyway,

0:36:54.360 --> 0:36:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the goose comes and that that's the bone to make.

0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Anyway goose comes and I get up, I shoot and

0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:06.640
<v Speaker 1>and there was like three of them in a row

0:37:06.719 --> 0:37:11.239
<v Speaker 1>and one of them goes down and can I please Yeah?

0:37:11.520 --> 0:37:15.160
<v Speaker 1>During like during all the set up, Yeah, are you

0:37:15.239 --> 0:37:17.839
<v Speaker 1>getting the feeling from your body? Are you? Like, Man,

0:37:17.920 --> 0:37:21.000
<v Speaker 1>this guy has this dialed and he's like it's going

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:23.080
<v Speaker 1>to be good. Here's the thing. Were you guys just

0:37:23.200 --> 0:37:26.640
<v Speaker 1>like Wow, here comes the goose. You know, I'm trying

0:37:26.640 --> 0:37:27.960
<v Speaker 1>to get like said, you know what, I mean, you

0:37:28.000 --> 0:37:30.120
<v Speaker 1>know what the expectations. I'm gonna tell you it's a

0:37:30.160 --> 0:37:31.680
<v Speaker 1>little bit of both, because I don't think he'd ever

0:37:31.760 --> 0:37:33.719
<v Speaker 1>done it either. But he had all he's one of

0:37:33.760 --> 0:37:35.719
<v Speaker 1>those gear guys, like he's got all the gear. He's

0:37:35.800 --> 0:37:39.879
<v Speaker 1>very organized, and he's also very like annoyingly like gun

0:37:40.000 --> 0:37:43.640
<v Speaker 1>safety guy, which is good. I don't know that that's no.

0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I realized it was good, but I hate it in

0:37:45.600 --> 0:37:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the beginning. Now I'm like that with people that I

0:37:47.880 --> 0:37:50.160
<v Speaker 1>go hunting with. But like, he was very like, dude,

0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:54.239
<v Speaker 1>don't make sure, just do not, like he doesn't want

0:37:54.239 --> 0:37:57.520
<v Speaker 1>to be shot, I know, what a weirdo. And but

0:37:57.680 --> 0:37:59.640
<v Speaker 1>he's like very like, you know, he's very by the

0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 1>book and like that, and we have it all out.

0:38:02.600 --> 0:38:04.800
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think he expected them to actually come in,

0:38:05.040 --> 0:38:07.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, and they come in and we get pretty

0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:09.719
<v Speaker 1>freaking excited. I mean, I you know, my I get

0:38:09.760 --> 0:38:12.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty excited. You're not thinking death at this point. You're

0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:15.120
<v Speaker 1>thinking you know, it's like your little reptile brain kicks

0:38:15.160 --> 0:38:17.040
<v Speaker 1>in and you're like, oh, this is gonna be awesome.

0:38:18.560 --> 0:38:21.279
<v Speaker 1>So you take your three shots. I take my three

0:38:21.320 --> 0:38:25.440
<v Speaker 1>shots and the guy goes down. Uh, And I for

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:29.160
<v Speaker 1>some reason thought you shoot them and they die in

0:38:29.239 --> 0:38:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the air, and that's it. Like I didn't expect. You know,

0:38:33.000 --> 0:38:36.120
<v Speaker 1>you watch the you know you watch Steve Ronnella, and

0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:40.080
<v Speaker 1>that's how he does it. But I know, I think

0:38:40.120 --> 0:38:43.600
<v Speaker 1>there's the thing people expect a binary dude. I expected that,

0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:47.839
<v Speaker 1>just like there's like a miss or death. The first

0:38:47.840 --> 0:38:49.680
<v Speaker 1>time I took my wife scroll hunting, she wasn't. She

0:38:49.800 --> 0:38:53.360
<v Speaker 1>had thought, I'll miss or it will die instantaneously, and

0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:57.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't think about the middle ground. There was a male ground.

0:38:58.800 --> 0:39:01.640
<v Speaker 1>So I knew that I had shot him in in

0:39:01.800 --> 0:39:06.360
<v Speaker 1>the wing and in the foot. I think, okay, because

0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:09.440
<v Speaker 1>his the wing looked like a fucking open door of

0:39:09.520 --> 0:39:13.279
<v Speaker 1>a DeLorean. And and then he couldn't swim in a

0:39:13.400 --> 0:39:15.400
<v Speaker 1>straight line, so I figured one of his feet was

0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:21.239
<v Speaker 1>and I like almost vomited, it was so viscerally it was.

0:39:21.360 --> 0:39:25.719
<v Speaker 1>It was awful. So then I shot him again and

0:39:25.960 --> 0:39:28.239
<v Speaker 1>his you know, his neck went down, his head went down.

0:39:29.040 --> 0:39:31.680
<v Speaker 1>And then we take the canoe out to it. We

0:39:31.760 --> 0:39:34.799
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a dog or anything, and I pick up

0:39:34.960 --> 0:39:38.960
<v Speaker 1>this the goose neck, and the goose neck is like

0:39:39.200 --> 0:39:43.880
<v Speaker 1>pulsating in my hand. Didn't then have you grabbed him

0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:45.520
<v Speaker 1>by the neck. When he grabbed him by the neck,

0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:47.600
<v Speaker 1>they did then have I couldn't do it, man. I

0:39:47.719 --> 0:39:49.279
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh my god, dude, it's still live. It's

0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:51.040
<v Speaker 1>still alive. And then he took it and like pretty

0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:53.080
<v Speaker 1>ma internet, like he swung it like there was nothing.

0:39:53.680 --> 0:39:57.160
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, man, it was so awful. And you know,

0:39:57.239 --> 0:39:59.239
<v Speaker 1>then I was like, you know, okay, I get to

0:39:59.280 --> 0:40:02.759
<v Speaker 1>do this thing where you felt guilt. I felt disgusted.

0:40:03.080 --> 0:40:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I felt discussed with yourself. I felt discussed with myself.

0:40:07.160 --> 0:40:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I also was like, you know, it was one of

0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:10.200
<v Speaker 1>those things where you ever when you go hunting with

0:40:10.280 --> 0:40:13.960
<v Speaker 1>a hunter and to them, like he started like he

0:40:14.040 --> 0:40:15.600
<v Speaker 1>was so excited. He was like you did it, man,

0:40:15.760 --> 0:40:18.120
<v Speaker 1>good for you. And I'm just like I was not

0:40:18.280 --> 0:40:21.080
<v Speaker 1>in that headstand, man. I was not in that head

0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:22.560
<v Speaker 1>space at all. I was like, I want to like

0:40:22.760 --> 0:40:25.280
<v Speaker 1>cry in the corner of the were maybe four hours

0:40:25.320 --> 0:40:28.759
<v Speaker 1>away from that. Yeah, honestly, not even dude. I this

0:40:29.239 --> 0:40:33.040
<v Speaker 1>day I went, I I so we we brought it

0:40:33.120 --> 0:40:35.000
<v Speaker 1>in and I butchered it. First of all, I wanted

0:40:35.040 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 1>to try the liver because I was like, fog raw,

0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:38.239
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be like far gray. It was not like

0:40:38.880 --> 0:40:40.759
<v Speaker 1>because I guess they're you know, they're not force fed.

0:40:41.560 --> 0:40:44.000
<v Speaker 1>And then I couldn't this is this is gonna sound awful,

0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:48.400
<v Speaker 1>but you know, the smell of the meat was so

0:40:48.920 --> 0:40:52.680
<v Speaker 1>like I I couldn't eat it. It was the smell

0:40:52.800 --> 0:40:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the guts are the smell of the meat. The meat. Man.

0:40:55.160 --> 0:40:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it was just I had this whole visceral

0:40:58.160 --> 0:41:01.320
<v Speaker 1>thing going on where everything was just associated. Yeah, it

0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:03.480
<v Speaker 1>was this. Everything reminded me of the experience and it

0:41:03.600 --> 0:41:07.000
<v Speaker 1>just like made me so disgusted that I just couldn't

0:41:07.000 --> 0:41:08.520
<v Speaker 1>do it. And then I felt guilty about how I

0:41:08.520 --> 0:41:10.400
<v Speaker 1>couldn't eat the food. I mean, it was a real awful,

0:41:10.440 --> 0:41:16.640
<v Speaker 1>awful experience. What happened to it? Honestly, I put, well,

0:41:16.960 --> 0:41:20.239
<v Speaker 1>I like when you try to cook at how I

0:41:20.560 --> 0:41:23.000
<v Speaker 1>tried to Well. I brought it to New York City.

0:41:23.040 --> 0:41:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I was living in the city, and I had it

0:41:25.120 --> 0:41:27.719
<v Speaker 1>in the freezer for a long time, and I just

0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:29.880
<v Speaker 1>had that I had the breast. He just breasted them

0:41:29.880 --> 0:41:33.800
<v Speaker 1>out um, and I just I eventually I was like,

0:41:33.840 --> 0:41:35.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I can do this. And I even

0:41:36.000 --> 0:41:38.480
<v Speaker 1>just smell, I'm not like cooking it just man, I

0:41:38.560 --> 0:41:40.440
<v Speaker 1>couldn't even. I know, I know it sounds like I

0:41:40.520 --> 0:41:43.040
<v Speaker 1>sound like a little wiss And don't worry, I've eaten.

0:41:43.160 --> 0:41:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I've eaten the food since then. But I like, I

0:41:46.200 --> 0:41:48.600
<v Speaker 1>felt guilty, I felt gross, and I just like I

0:41:49.000 --> 0:41:51.799
<v Speaker 1>put I threw them into the I threw them into

0:41:51.840 --> 0:41:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the Hudson. Yeah. I was like, I can't do it.

0:41:55.640 --> 0:41:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully someone some fish will or something. I I it was,

0:41:58.800 --> 0:42:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I just couldn't do it. It was up, well, how

0:42:00.560 --> 0:42:03.880
<v Speaker 1>did you not? Why would that have not been the

0:42:03.960 --> 0:42:06.120
<v Speaker 1>last time you went out? Like? How did you recover

0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:12.520
<v Speaker 1>from that enough to go try again? It was mine

0:42:12.560 --> 0:42:15.440
<v Speaker 1>over Matt. I think that Philosophically, I still was like,

0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:18.920
<v Speaker 1>this is it has to be done. I have to

0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:22.759
<v Speaker 1>be able to do this honestly, and I and uh.

0:42:23.680 --> 0:42:25.320
<v Speaker 1>And then the next time we went out, it was

0:42:25.560 --> 0:42:30.200
<v Speaker 1>we went hunting for pheasants and I got a pheasant

0:42:30.719 --> 0:42:32.600
<v Speaker 1>and where'd you guys go? Then we went in Long

0:42:32.640 --> 0:42:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Island again and got the fucking thing? We got called

0:42:35.640 --> 0:42:41.920
<v Speaker 1>on seriously, did you can make friends with the game wardens?

0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:48.640
<v Speaker 1>They hated like you guys again? Um, But at that

0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:52.520
<v Speaker 1>point I was like, so this, so I get a pheasant,

0:42:53.000 --> 0:42:54.959
<v Speaker 1>I killed a pheasant and then Mo takes it again.

0:42:55.040 --> 0:42:58.800
<v Speaker 1>It all excited and broly, I'm a little less on

0:42:58.960 --> 0:43:02.759
<v Speaker 1>the wing. Yeah, this time I got to get shot. Yeah,

0:43:04.239 --> 0:43:06.160
<v Speaker 1>thank god. I was like, please, I can't deal with

0:43:06.239 --> 0:43:10.000
<v Speaker 1>do Lorian wing again. Knocked out of the sky. Um.

0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:11.759
<v Speaker 1>And then Mos like, good job. He takes it and

0:43:11.800 --> 0:43:14.600
<v Speaker 1>like just puts it in my in my vest the

0:43:15.560 --> 0:43:18.680
<v Speaker 1>game pouch, and you know, the thing is still in

0:43:18.760 --> 0:43:20.719
<v Speaker 1>the throes of in his death throes. It's still like

0:43:20.760 --> 0:43:23.600
<v Speaker 1>twitching a little bit and having that little twitch on

0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:29.040
<v Speaker 1>my back. Oh man, it was. It was intense. Oh

0:43:29.239 --> 0:43:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I hated it so much. But anyway, does everything seemed

0:43:32.840 --> 0:43:37.680
<v Speaker 1>to twitch pulic? I can't Anyway. I was like, okay,

0:43:37.680 --> 0:43:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm gonna eat this guy and give him

0:43:39.560 --> 0:43:42.040
<v Speaker 1>a good life. And I made a I made a

0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:47.520
<v Speaker 1>pheasant ragou um. I took a recipe from the Babbo Cookbook,

0:43:47.520 --> 0:43:49.320
<v Speaker 1>which is a great cookbook. I made a peasant ragout.

0:43:49.320 --> 0:43:53.759
<v Speaker 1>I made yoki from scratch, and dude, it was unbelievable.

0:43:53.920 --> 0:43:56.480
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, okay, now we're talking. So you

0:43:56.560 --> 0:43:58.759
<v Speaker 1>didn't have the same reaction to the meat, Like it

0:43:58.920 --> 0:44:01.320
<v Speaker 1>just didn't happen. It didn't happen. Do you think it

0:44:01.360 --> 0:44:03.920
<v Speaker 1>was because it's more like a chicken. I think it's

0:44:03.920 --> 0:44:05.800
<v Speaker 1>because it died quick. No, I think I think it

0:44:05.840 --> 0:44:07.239
<v Speaker 1>was because it died quick. I think it was because

<v Speaker 1>but you know, I mean they had a it's tough

0:44:54.800 --> 0:44:59.239
<v Speaker 1>to bounce back from from that stuff. Um, but yeah,

0:44:59.560 --> 0:45:02.080
<v Speaker 1>may y goo. I made a ragou, a pheasant ragu

0:45:02.760 --> 0:45:07.279
<v Speaker 1>and it was awesome. And then eventually I thought, I was,

0:45:07.480 --> 0:45:10.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, ready for deer and that is a different

0:45:10.719 --> 0:45:15.799
<v Speaker 1>experience too. Man Long Island now Long Island, No, yeah, long,

0:45:16.600 --> 0:45:20.640
<v Speaker 1>But we had a photographer that hunted deer on Long Island. Yeah. Yeah,

0:45:20.680 --> 0:45:24.719
<v Speaker 1>there's deer in Suffolk County. Um, but no, this was

0:45:24.920 --> 0:45:29.000
<v Speaker 1>up in Mohan Ed's land in Cuba Lake. So Mo

0:45:29.320 --> 0:45:31.799
<v Speaker 1>ended up becoming a surgeon in the same hospital as

0:45:31.920 --> 0:45:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Dad was, and he lives up there now in that

0:45:34.080 --> 0:45:37.279
<v Speaker 1>same in only in New York. So uh. I went

0:45:37.360 --> 0:45:41.120
<v Speaker 1>up to him and you know, first time, I remember

0:45:41.160 --> 0:45:42.560
<v Speaker 1>in your book you talked about the first time you

0:45:42.600 --> 0:45:45.160
<v Speaker 1>missed a deer, which my story was like it was,

0:45:45.360 --> 0:45:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I was, you know, in the tree stand and I

0:45:48.200 --> 0:45:51.279
<v Speaker 1>finally see this. I'm so excited and you know, I

0:45:51.400 --> 0:45:53.919
<v Speaker 1>finally see this buck. And I'm excited to like prove

0:45:54.040 --> 0:45:56.880
<v Speaker 1>myself to like my buddy and his buddies. His buddies

0:45:56.880 --> 0:45:58.759
<v Speaker 1>are like it's like me Mo, and like his state

0:45:58.840 --> 0:46:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Trooper buddy and the State Trooper buddies buddy. It's like

0:46:02.560 --> 0:46:06.359
<v Speaker 1>this the ragtag group. And I see this big buck

0:46:06.480 --> 0:46:09.560
<v Speaker 1>and he was priming me for just take a doe

0:46:09.760 --> 0:46:11.200
<v Speaker 1>to day and I'm like, oh my god, I can

0:46:11.280 --> 0:46:13.799
<v Speaker 1>do this, and I like aim and I can't see

0:46:13.880 --> 0:46:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the guy. I'm like, what the fun was your hand

0:46:15.560 --> 0:46:18.680
<v Speaker 1>when your hand open like that? Why is my hand open?

0:46:19.239 --> 0:46:21.239
<v Speaker 1>At least do like a little trigger thing. No, I

0:46:21.480 --> 0:46:24.120
<v Speaker 1>have it off the trigger until until I'm ready to

0:46:24.200 --> 0:46:27.040
<v Speaker 1>go hunter safety man. I was just not a convincing

0:46:28.719 --> 0:46:33.480
<v Speaker 1>you know. I got the gun ready to go and uh,

0:46:34.040 --> 0:46:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I like three times the guys like just kind of

0:46:36.040 --> 0:46:39.560
<v Speaker 1>sauntering off, and eventually I realized that I could find

0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the scope. I forgot to take the fucking cover off

0:46:42.000 --> 0:46:46.840
<v Speaker 1>of the scope and he just got away. Um. But

0:46:46.960 --> 0:46:48.440
<v Speaker 1>then the second time I went out, which is the

0:46:48.520 --> 0:46:54.319
<v Speaker 1>year after I that was my season. That was that opportunity. Yeah.

0:46:55.000 --> 0:46:58.200
<v Speaker 1>And then I went back the next year and went

0:46:58.239 --> 0:47:02.480
<v Speaker 1>out with with shotgun, you know, the slug, and I

0:47:02.520 --> 0:47:05.279
<v Speaker 1>saw a little guy come through and my I mean,

0:47:05.560 --> 0:47:08.759
<v Speaker 1>your heart just beats like insand it still does. I

0:47:08.800 --> 0:47:12.239
<v Speaker 1>mean I've killed like probably sixty or not still yeah. Um,

0:47:12.719 --> 0:47:17.840
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, and then I shot him. He jumped and

0:47:18.000 --> 0:47:20.440
<v Speaker 1>then you know, ran a little ways and then we

0:47:20.560 --> 0:47:23.720
<v Speaker 1>went and got him, and dude, that was a fucking

0:47:23.920 --> 0:47:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I like started crying and ship and and again MO

0:47:27.200 --> 0:47:35.680
<v Speaker 1>was like smile, I'm like, give me a moment. Um. Yeah,

0:47:35.800 --> 0:47:37.919
<v Speaker 1>but then I went to town. Man I started making

0:47:38.160 --> 0:47:42.120
<v Speaker 1>so much food, like amazing, de Yeah, so how how

0:47:42.160 --> 0:47:46.440
<v Speaker 1>are you handling the um? You're getting your process up

0:47:46.440 --> 0:47:48.480
<v Speaker 1>where you are just bring a package meat back to

0:47:48.520 --> 0:47:51.879
<v Speaker 1>your an apartment. Yeah. I got a quick question before

0:47:51.920 --> 0:47:54.600
<v Speaker 1>we get to um cooking dear meat. But did you

0:47:54.640 --> 0:47:57.120
<v Speaker 1>find it odd because you started hunting as an adult,

0:47:57.560 --> 0:48:00.239
<v Speaker 1>So did you find it odd that there was such

0:48:00.320 --> 0:48:04.279
<v Speaker 1>emotion and like the excitement like the buck fever you know,

0:48:04.600 --> 0:48:06.920
<v Speaker 1>as you probably know what you know I did because

0:48:06.960 --> 0:48:10.399
<v Speaker 1>he he was explaining buck fever to me and I'm like, okay, yeah,

0:48:10.440 --> 0:48:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty good in high stress situations. I'll be okay,

0:48:13.640 --> 0:48:16.319
<v Speaker 1>but my hands were shaking, Dude. I it was very

0:48:16.440 --> 0:48:21.120
<v Speaker 1>very hard to concentrate. It's really weird. Um, and you

0:48:21.200 --> 0:48:24.600
<v Speaker 1>so you're good in high stress situations? Me like performing, Yeah,

0:48:24.640 --> 0:48:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm good at performing, or like I think it'd be

0:48:27.000 --> 0:48:28.839
<v Speaker 1>good at like like if I get into a car

0:48:28.880 --> 0:48:31.160
<v Speaker 1>accident or something like, I'm pretty relaxed. I'm not like,

0:48:31.280 --> 0:48:33.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't get frantic, you know what I mean. But

0:48:33.840 --> 0:48:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I got pretty fucking frantic when I saw this guy. Um,

0:48:37.120 --> 0:48:41.280
<v Speaker 1>because there's a lot of things. My biggest fear was like, again,

0:48:42.000 --> 0:48:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to enter this guy and then I

0:48:44.239 --> 0:48:47.920
<v Speaker 1>have to like watch him, you know, you know, or

0:48:48.280 --> 0:48:49.960
<v Speaker 1>like I can't I don't find it. There was one

0:48:50.000 --> 0:48:51.279
<v Speaker 1>time when I shot a deer and he and he

0:48:51.440 --> 0:48:53.640
<v Speaker 1>went off into the woods and we couldn't find him

0:48:53.680 --> 0:48:57.400
<v Speaker 1>for like twenty minutes, and it was it was twenty

0:48:57.440 --> 0:49:00.360
<v Speaker 1>minutes after we started coming down. No, I don't, well,

0:49:00.719 --> 0:49:02.800
<v Speaker 1>the thing is this twenty minutes And I freaked the

0:49:02.840 --> 0:49:05.279
<v Speaker 1>funk out because the other ones that I had gotten

0:49:05.360 --> 0:49:07.839
<v Speaker 1>were like, you know, they didn't go very far. Pretty

0:49:07.880 --> 0:49:10.680
<v Speaker 1>good shot, Steve, Yeah, I say, there's it can get

0:49:10.719 --> 0:49:13.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot worse than twenty minutes. I know, I know. No,

0:49:13.320 --> 0:49:14.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm a pretty good shot, but it was and it

0:49:15.040 --> 0:49:16.600
<v Speaker 1>was close, he was close, but he just went into

0:49:16.640 --> 0:49:19.279
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of thick brush. And that's long enough for

0:49:19.320 --> 0:49:22.880
<v Speaker 1>you to think the worst dude, I was fucking I

0:49:23.040 --> 0:49:25.640
<v Speaker 1>was not in a good place. And again it's like

0:49:26.200 --> 0:49:29.239
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't It's that's an It's an interesting thing because

0:49:29.239 --> 0:49:32.759
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if it's like if it's a little bit

0:49:32.800 --> 0:49:35.360
<v Speaker 1>of it is, Yes, obviously you don't want this this

0:49:35.480 --> 0:49:37.279
<v Speaker 1>guy to be in pain, but also I wonder if

0:49:37.320 --> 0:49:39.040
<v Speaker 1>it's just a little bit of your cave madness of like,

0:49:39.080 --> 0:49:41.640
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, I just lost that on all this food. Um.

0:49:41.920 --> 0:49:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I don't. I don't know that it Yeah,

0:49:45.000 --> 0:49:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the cave madness. I think there's a definite thing is

0:49:47.880 --> 0:49:52.239
<v Speaker 1>that you wanted it, like you wanted it bad enough

0:49:52.280 --> 0:49:55.040
<v Speaker 1>to try to kill it and then it gets away.

0:49:55.320 --> 0:49:58.439
<v Speaker 1>Besides the oh, man, I'm causing suffering to something, there's

0:49:58.480 --> 0:50:01.759
<v Speaker 1>definitely the but I want it, Yeah, there is. It

0:50:01.920 --> 0:50:03.920
<v Speaker 1>was mine, Yeah, I supposed to be mine. I want

0:50:03.960 --> 0:50:06.480
<v Speaker 1>in my hand now the thing I thought I had

0:50:06.640 --> 0:50:08.880
<v Speaker 1>and I don't have it. And that's a part of it.

0:50:09.800 --> 0:50:13.240
<v Speaker 1>But the suffering part, man, that that's why I'm actually

0:50:13.239 --> 0:50:15.360
<v Speaker 1>it's again in your book. I think it was one

0:50:15.400 --> 0:50:19.279
<v Speaker 1>of your dad's buddies who was like anti uh um,

0:50:20.080 --> 0:50:25.160
<v Speaker 1>like using a bow. Eugene. Yeah, I I I sort

0:50:25.200 --> 0:50:27.520
<v Speaker 1>of feel I feel the same way, like either with

0:50:27.560 --> 0:50:30.919
<v Speaker 1>a bow or like a muzzleloader, like anything that makes

0:50:31.000 --> 0:50:34.440
<v Speaker 1>it a little harder for us, unless you you should,

0:50:34.440 --> 0:50:36.759
<v Speaker 1>you should have to take a test that shows that

0:50:36.840 --> 0:50:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you're extremely proficient in those instruments. In some states you do,

0:50:40.360 --> 0:50:41.880
<v Speaker 1>do you. I can't think of any state that has

0:50:41.920 --> 0:50:47.240
<v Speaker 1>a firearm proficiency test archery archery proficiency tests in the Mania.

0:50:47.800 --> 0:50:49.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, you get people all riled up the many

0:50:49.640 --> 0:50:53.040
<v Speaker 1>you say that I know you that you should regulate something. No, no,

0:50:53.280 --> 0:50:54.800
<v Speaker 1>not that, And I was just say the minute you

0:50:54.840 --> 0:50:58.200
<v Speaker 1>get into like well the animals, most software more with archery,

0:50:58.320 --> 0:51:01.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's it's kind of thing where anyone sort

0:51:01.320 --> 0:51:04.200
<v Speaker 1>of driving a point is going to find some study

0:51:05.840 --> 0:51:11.880
<v Speaker 1>that reinforces their perspective about what's painful, what's not painful,

0:51:12.000 --> 0:51:14.719
<v Speaker 1>what's fast, what's not fast? You mean, I also just

0:51:14.880 --> 0:51:19.520
<v Speaker 1>think that, well, look, just accuracy wise, a Leopold's scope

0:51:19.719 --> 0:51:22.480
<v Speaker 1>is gonna probably get you to the point you want

0:51:22.520 --> 0:51:26.960
<v Speaker 1>to get, you know, at at the same distance then

0:51:28.719 --> 0:51:31.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, just looking through your bow. Is that a

0:51:31.840 --> 0:51:38.239
<v Speaker 1>simple way to Is that an awful way? Well? Obviously, um, yeah, man,

0:51:38.400 --> 0:51:43.520
<v Speaker 1>if you randomly selected ten Americans, yeah, and they had

0:51:43.560 --> 0:51:46.239
<v Speaker 1>to kill deer and your goal was to have these

0:51:46.360 --> 0:51:50.759
<v Speaker 1>randomly selected individuals kill these deer quickly. The thing to

0:51:50.840 --> 0:51:54.200
<v Speaker 1>do would be to give them a scoped rifle, right,

0:51:55.000 --> 0:51:59.160
<v Speaker 1>But just there's it's there's a lot less you need

0:51:59.239 --> 0:52:03.399
<v Speaker 1>to know. Yeah, to perform at like a proficient level

0:52:03.440 --> 0:52:06.840
<v Speaker 1>at short distance. Yeah. Absolutely. I've seen people shoot a

0:52:06.920 --> 0:52:12.200
<v Speaker 1>firearm only five or six times in their life and

0:52:12.280 --> 0:52:16.040
<v Speaker 1>then successfully kill a deer at close distance. You're not

0:52:16.239 --> 0:52:19.960
<v Speaker 1>going to get that, Yeah, absolutely. You can get it

0:52:19.960 --> 0:52:22.839
<v Speaker 1>with a cross bowl with a little bit harder, but yeah,

0:52:22.880 --> 0:52:24.279
<v Speaker 1>you're just not gonna get it with the bowl. Yeah.

0:52:24.360 --> 0:52:26.359
<v Speaker 1>There's so much more to learn and so many more

0:52:26.400 --> 0:52:28.239
<v Speaker 1>things that can go wrong if you can. More power

0:52:28.360 --> 0:52:30.640
<v Speaker 1>to you, But I just think that the you should

0:52:30.719 --> 0:52:33.399
<v Speaker 1>respect that you know, the skill level that you need

0:52:33.480 --> 0:52:36.120
<v Speaker 1>to have for that thing, because man, it must suck

0:52:36.200 --> 0:52:38.440
<v Speaker 1>to be a deer that just gets winged by a

0:52:39.360 --> 0:52:41.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the leg and then he's fucked for

0:52:41.520 --> 0:52:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the whole. Yeah, it would seem so um Yeah. But

0:52:47.320 --> 0:52:50.839
<v Speaker 1>then so it's funny because then I started really getting

0:52:50.880 --> 0:52:55.320
<v Speaker 1>into hunting, and uh started looking for content on hunting,

0:52:55.360 --> 0:52:57.359
<v Speaker 1>which is kind of when I discovered you, because all

0:52:57.360 --> 0:52:59.879
<v Speaker 1>the content that search look like for you, I'll tell

0:52:59.880 --> 0:53:01.960
<v Speaker 1>you would It looked like I would go on YouTube

0:53:02.600 --> 0:53:05.080
<v Speaker 1>and I would type in hunting videos or whatever, and

0:53:05.160 --> 0:53:09.359
<v Speaker 1>it was all really had it narrowed down, Look, dude,

0:53:09.400 --> 0:53:12.359
<v Speaker 1>it was it was all just like these guys would

0:53:12.360 --> 0:53:15.239
<v Speaker 1>just put up videos with like death metal in the background,

0:53:15.719 --> 0:53:17.839
<v Speaker 1>like shooting a deer, and then they'd show it again

0:53:17.880 --> 0:53:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and like slow motion like the head exploding, and I'm like, funk, man,

0:53:22.200 --> 0:53:24.520
<v Speaker 1>this is why isn't there? And then and then and

0:53:24.640 --> 0:53:28.640
<v Speaker 1>then here will come along dude, you'r And then I

0:53:28.680 --> 0:53:30.480
<v Speaker 1>started I was like, oh, this is like a thoughtful

0:53:30.600 --> 0:53:33.719
<v Speaker 1>dude who's smart, who was talking about hunting in the

0:53:34.040 --> 0:53:36.960
<v Speaker 1>in the way that that this is. This is the

0:53:36.960 --> 0:53:40.640
<v Speaker 1>blue collar bourdain right here. And I was so into it. Man.

0:53:40.640 --> 0:53:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's still is so into it, but it

0:53:43.160 --> 0:53:45.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of it gave me. It was it was this

0:53:45.320 --> 0:53:48.160
<v Speaker 1>moment of like, Okay, cool, I I there's a team

0:53:48.280 --> 0:53:50.600
<v Speaker 1>out there that I'm that I'm part of. It's not

0:53:50.840 --> 0:53:54.359
<v Speaker 1>just mo yelling yelling over dead carcasses, being like small

0:53:54.480 --> 0:54:00.719
<v Speaker 1>for the camera. Um, but yeah, man, I just in

0:54:00.840 --> 0:54:03.160
<v Speaker 1>general that I I don't think that I would ever

0:54:04.400 --> 0:54:09.279
<v Speaker 1>have met more people that I would never more people

0:54:09.320 --> 0:54:13.000
<v Speaker 1>from different backgrounds, from different political leanings. I probably it's

0:54:13.000 --> 0:54:15.040
<v Speaker 1>probably affected the way that I think about a lot

0:54:15.080 --> 0:54:18.280
<v Speaker 1>of politics. Uh, you know, than I ever did. It's

0:54:18.560 --> 0:54:23.080
<v Speaker 1>it's affective the way you think about politics. Absolutely, absolutely, Um,

0:54:23.400 --> 0:54:28.239
<v Speaker 1>beyond the obvious. Uh yeah, yeah, I think so. I

0:54:28.360 --> 0:54:32.960
<v Speaker 1>mean exposure to other people. I mean, look, dude, we go.

0:54:33.120 --> 0:54:35.000
<v Speaker 1>When I say the obvious, I mean, like the obviously

0:54:35.000 --> 0:54:39.560
<v Speaker 1>are like political subjects or political issues that are directly

0:54:40.200 --> 0:54:45.040
<v Speaker 1>related to hunting. Um, yes, more than that, but but yes,

0:54:45.120 --> 0:54:47.840
<v Speaker 1>let's go. Let's let's start there. Though. I mean, I

0:54:48.000 --> 0:54:50.480
<v Speaker 1>think that there's a lot of people that see, you know,

0:54:50.600 --> 0:54:52.879
<v Speaker 1>a school shooting, and they're like, no one should have guns.

0:54:53.440 --> 0:54:56.120
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, guys, it's it's it's it's different, it's

0:54:56.120 --> 0:54:58.240
<v Speaker 1>a little more complicated. That's no, there's no fucking reason

0:54:58.640 --> 0:55:03.239
<v Speaker 1>any you know, I live in Hollywood. Yeah yeah, so

0:55:03.360 --> 0:55:05.360
<v Speaker 1>it's like there's no reason for you lived in Brooklyn.

0:55:05.400 --> 0:55:08.360
<v Speaker 1>So it's like the same ship. I mean, it's just

0:55:08.880 --> 0:55:13.160
<v Speaker 1>it's it's weird how how you just realize how ignorant

0:55:13.200 --> 0:55:17.279
<v Speaker 1>people are to the other side in general, and both ways,

0:55:17.440 --> 0:55:21.279
<v Speaker 1>absolutely both ways. And I think that it's funny because

0:55:21.280 --> 0:55:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I end up getting into a lot of these conversations

0:55:23.200 --> 0:55:27.160
<v Speaker 1>because people assume, oh, Jew from New York, he's gonna,

0:55:27.680 --> 0:55:30.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's going to have a certain way of thinking,

0:55:31.120 --> 0:55:34.239
<v Speaker 1>and uh, in a way I have to. There's a

0:55:34.280 --> 0:55:36.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of educating that needs to be done, especially in

0:55:37.160 --> 0:55:39.120
<v Speaker 1>l A like with environmentalists and stuff. When they're like,

0:55:39.120 --> 0:55:41.279
<v Speaker 1>how dare how could you kill? I'm like, more money

0:55:41.320 --> 0:55:44.440
<v Speaker 1>goes to you know, my my hunting license pays for

0:55:44.560 --> 0:55:49.680
<v Speaker 1>more you know, environmental preservation than then your little fucking

0:55:49.719 --> 0:55:52.279
<v Speaker 1>clipboard that you're collecting names outside the whole foods? Does

0:55:52.880 --> 0:55:58.960
<v Speaker 1>uh have you found have you found that that's effectively? No? Absolutely,

0:55:59.000 --> 0:56:00.799
<v Speaker 1>I think I think I like to see what you mean. Bro,

0:56:04.160 --> 0:56:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you're totally right. Uh, does being um your vocal about

0:56:10.360 --> 0:56:13.719
<v Speaker 1>hunting here? You know, I haven't been. I haven't been

0:56:13.800 --> 0:56:16.760
<v Speaker 1>very I've never like posted any pictures any hunting pictures.

0:56:17.239 --> 0:56:19.800
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about it right now, this is this is

0:56:19.880 --> 0:56:21.800
<v Speaker 1>me coming out at the closet right now. That's my

0:56:21.920 --> 0:56:24.919
<v Speaker 1>big coming out party. So you're active on social media? Yeah,

0:56:24.960 --> 0:56:26.800
<v Speaker 1>if you don't put anything about hunting or deer or

0:56:26.800 --> 0:56:30.960
<v Speaker 1>anything on social media? Rarely I I did some It's

0:56:30.960 --> 0:56:34.320
<v Speaker 1>funny we. Uh. I got a deer this year and

0:56:34.360 --> 0:56:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to do I wanted to cook up a

0:56:35.840 --> 0:56:37.840
<v Speaker 1>bunch of the organs. So I did a video of that.

0:56:37.920 --> 0:56:39.640
<v Speaker 1>But it was just like from the kitchen, like cooking,

0:56:39.719 --> 0:56:42.600
<v Speaker 1>cooking up the organs. It's funny. I fucking I messed

0:56:42.680 --> 0:56:46.560
<v Speaker 1>up one of your recipes. I most have read it wrong.

0:56:48.480 --> 0:56:51.319
<v Speaker 1>I was no, because I I took the balls off.

0:56:51.360 --> 0:56:53.359
<v Speaker 1>So here's the funny thing. I killed this deer this year.

0:56:53.440 --> 0:56:57.960
<v Speaker 1>And it's me Mo and Dean with anyone besides no,

0:56:58.320 --> 0:57:01.480
<v Speaker 1>absolutely not. It's me Mo and Dean the state trooper.

0:57:02.000 --> 0:57:05.640
<v Speaker 1>It's the three of us, okay, and which is it's

0:57:05.719 --> 0:57:07.640
<v Speaker 1>like the holy trendy. It's like a Muslim of jew

0:57:07.719 --> 0:57:12.600
<v Speaker 1>and a Christian walk into you know, public lands and uh,

0:57:13.360 --> 0:57:15.360
<v Speaker 1>you know they're both very like, yeah we did. And

0:57:15.480 --> 0:57:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, all right, guys, I need the balls off

0:57:17.800 --> 0:57:20.240
<v Speaker 1>of this off of this deer. And they're like what what.

0:57:20.840 --> 0:57:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, we're gonna eat the balls. And I've already

0:57:23.440 --> 0:57:25.600
<v Speaker 1>introduced Dean and a bunch of his like red nicky

0:57:25.680 --> 0:57:27.520
<v Speaker 1>friends to parts of the deer that they would never eat,

0:57:27.680 --> 0:57:31.160
<v Speaker 1>like heart, and you know which, they fucking love heart.

0:57:31.520 --> 0:57:33.480
<v Speaker 1>How heart is so easy to love by the way,

0:57:33.840 --> 0:57:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the most unsung hero of the you know,

0:57:37.440 --> 0:57:40.760
<v Speaker 1>of the or of the deer organs. It's delicious and

0:57:40.760 --> 0:57:43.600
<v Speaker 1>they know, I mean they you know, they don't like

0:57:43.800 --> 0:57:46.600
<v Speaker 1>it's delicious, And I think I the organs for me

0:57:46.680 --> 0:57:49.160
<v Speaker 1>are like my favorite part. I want, you know, the

0:57:49.280 --> 0:57:52.200
<v Speaker 1>organ's gotta eat him quickly. But once I was leaving

0:57:52.320 --> 0:57:55.120
<v Speaker 1>mos and going to New York City and I took

0:57:55.240 --> 0:57:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the heart and the liver and put them in you know,

0:57:57.600 --> 0:57:59.600
<v Speaker 1>like a little styrofoamp thing, and brought them to the

0:57:59.680 --> 0:58:03.760
<v Speaker 1>t S say, went through security, and like did they

0:58:03.840 --> 0:58:06.960
<v Speaker 1>take a look? Yeah, they take a look heart and

0:58:07.240 --> 0:58:09.320
<v Speaker 1>or it looks like a human heart. Like it's not

0:59:23.160 --> 0:59:25.120
<v Speaker 1>You don't need a license for a long gun. And

0:59:25.160 --> 0:59:27.640
<v Speaker 1>they're like, uh, in fucking New York City, you do.

0:59:27.960 --> 0:59:30.600
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, oh no. And they bring these two

0:59:30.680 --> 0:59:33.080
<v Speaker 1>cops over and they're like, what the fun is going

0:59:33.160 --> 0:59:35.080
<v Speaker 1>on here? I'm like, I'm sorry, I didn't know that

0:59:35.160 --> 0:59:36.960
<v Speaker 1>you need a license. And you know, I look the

0:59:37.000 --> 0:59:38.640
<v Speaker 1>way I look. I look, you know, like a fucking

0:59:38.680 --> 0:59:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Woody Allen character, Like what are you doing with the

0:59:40.840 --> 0:59:44.000
<v Speaker 1>fucking shotgun? I'm like I'm a hunter, Like what are

0:59:44.000 --> 0:59:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you like the latest, like an old Jewish lady working

0:59:49.440 --> 0:59:51.360
<v Speaker 1>a delta. She's like, what are you doing this for?

0:59:51.640 --> 0:59:54.200
<v Speaker 1>What's the point? So now I have to like go

0:59:54.320 --> 0:59:57.480
<v Speaker 1>through the ethics of hunting with the fucking two Italian

0:59:57.560 --> 1:00:01.400
<v Speaker 1>cops and the old Jewish lady at delta. Oh, it's hilarious,

1:00:02.040 --> 1:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing they remember hearing about. Um. They're being

1:00:07.200 --> 1:00:09.360
<v Speaker 1>like legal challenges to that because a lot of people

1:00:09.720 --> 1:00:12.680
<v Speaker 1>it's very common for people to accidentally. You have some

1:00:12.720 --> 1:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>guy lives in Pennsylvania, right, yeah, and he buys a

1:00:15.880 --> 1:00:18.760
<v Speaker 1>plane ticket out of JFK, connecting his whole damn life.

1:00:18.760 --> 1:00:21.080
<v Speaker 1>He's like drove to the airport and went off to

1:00:21.160 --> 1:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>hunt deer at his uncle's house. And he shows up

1:00:23.680 --> 1:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>the JFK just like another day at the office, and

1:00:27.000 --> 1:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, Yeah, they send it to a

1:00:29.960 --> 1:00:34.160
<v Speaker 1>very very common problem. Is it really? It's wild, man,

1:00:35.280 --> 1:00:37.440
<v Speaker 1>like I said, because it just would never a lot

1:00:37.480 --> 1:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>of people would like never occurred to him that that

1:00:39.160 --> 1:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>would be the case. And then it's not standardized. It's

1:00:43.120 --> 1:00:46.160
<v Speaker 1>like there's three airports it's like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Newark,

1:00:46.400 --> 1:00:49.600
<v Speaker 1>JFK and LaGuardia. It's tough traveling with a gun in

1:00:49.880 --> 1:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>New York City. Um, are you worried about hunting screwing

1:00:53.360 --> 1:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>you over? Man? Like being in you know, in the

1:00:55.240 --> 1:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>in show business and everything, like the people will find

1:00:58.280 --> 1:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>out that you're a hunter and in the work will

1:01:00.680 --> 1:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>dry up. I don't, I don't know, man, I think

1:01:04.800 --> 1:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>that I don't think so. I think that, you know,

1:01:10.120 --> 1:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>God bless Joe Rogan in some ways, because I think

1:01:12.040 --> 1:01:13.400
<v Speaker 1>he opened it up a little and made it a

1:01:13.440 --> 1:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>little more acceptable. And I think that also since I've

1:01:18.240 --> 1:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of had this like uh, this food career come

1:01:21.480 --> 1:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>out of you know, come out of nowhere, I think

1:01:24.280 --> 1:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I get a little bit more of a pass. But

1:01:26.960 --> 1:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>it's yeah, I definitely have some people who don't want

1:01:30.000 --> 1:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>to come to my house anymore because they know that

1:01:31.640 --> 1:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I have guns there, you know. And then I have

1:01:35.360 --> 1:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>to bring out the stats like well the house with

1:01:37.640 --> 1:01:39.520
<v Speaker 1>the swimming pools actually more data, and I'm like a

1:01:39.680 --> 1:01:44.400
<v Speaker 1>fucking you know, spinning off like NR A talking points um.

1:01:44.840 --> 1:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>But it's uh, it's weird, man. I get it though,

1:01:48.200 --> 1:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>because I used to be that. I used to be

1:01:50.240 --> 1:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>these guys like anytime I hear someone had a gun,

1:01:52.520 --> 1:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, this is a different human being

1:01:54.960 --> 1:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>from the type that I would like to interact with.

1:01:56.960 --> 1:02:00.520
<v Speaker 1>What did your parents think about your whole transformation? Uh?

1:02:01.000 --> 1:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Not thrilled? Not thrilled. Um. Have they eaten any of anything? No? No, no, no, no,

1:02:08.640 --> 1:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't. They're also like they're still kosher, so they

1:02:11.240 --> 1:02:15.360
<v Speaker 1>would know, but they just think it's they just can't understand,

1:02:15.760 --> 1:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Like they just can't believe it. A little boy, we

1:02:20.280 --> 1:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't escape. How many for this to happen to him?

1:02:24.360 --> 1:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Do they are? They like like IROLLI half joke and irolly,

1:02:30.520 --> 1:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>or they like legitimately pissed. They're not legitimately pissed, but

1:02:34.000 --> 1:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>they're like, we don't want to hear about this. Just

1:02:35.720 --> 1:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>leave that part of your life to yourself. What's their association?

1:02:41.120 --> 1:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean in their mind? What's what's they're like? I

1:02:45.000 --> 1:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>think they freak out every time that they can imagine

1:02:47.960 --> 1:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>me going out with a gun. What do they think about? Mo? Mo?

1:02:58.200 --> 1:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>It's funny, mo? And is The funny part is that

1:03:01.320 --> 1:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>most probably is the first Muslim friend that has ever entered,

1:03:04.840 --> 1:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, our family. I'm the first Jewish friend. Yeah,

1:03:07.480 --> 1:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>And I'm the first Jewish guy who's entered his family.

1:03:09.800 --> 1:03:12.080
<v Speaker 1>His parents are my parents and my parents are like

1:03:12.200 --> 1:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>his parents, Like there's such a love between our families.

1:03:16.400 --> 1:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>And oh, you mean so they like each other. Oh,

1:03:19.120 --> 1:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>my parents are like friends with most parents. Like I

1:03:21.360 --> 1:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>tell you mean that they're I think they're very similar. Um, no,

1:03:25.680 --> 1:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>they're they're very Uh well they're both. There are similar

1:03:29.080 --> 1:03:31.560
<v Speaker 1>in that they're they're all Middle Eastern. But you know,

1:03:31.680 --> 1:03:35.720
<v Speaker 1>there's the Jewish Muslim divide, which you don't find old school,

1:03:36.800 --> 1:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, Iranian Jews friends with any Muslims, any any

1:03:40.760 --> 1:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Arab Muslims. You just don't. And you don't find many

1:03:43.400 --> 1:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Arab Mulis Muslims who are friends with Iranian Jews. Uh.

1:03:47.360 --> 1:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>And it's uh, you know, from the old school. I

1:03:49.560 --> 1:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>think second generation it does so. But I'm you know,

1:03:52.480 --> 1:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I hate to get all like you know, uh, you know,

1:03:55.320 --> 1:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>kumbaya about it, but I seriously think that in a

1:03:59.120 --> 1:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>in a big way, hunting kind of brought us us together,

1:04:02.160 --> 1:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>was like such a common ground that that made us

1:04:06.360 --> 1:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>into best friends. That there's something about a hunting buddy. Man.

1:04:09.560 --> 1:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>It's like you've you know, I'm not going to exaggerate

1:04:11.800 --> 1:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>and say you've been to war together, but man, we've

1:04:14.400 --> 1:04:16.160
<v Speaker 1>done some fucked up ship that I've never done with

1:04:16.960 --> 1:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, other people like gutting a deer in the

1:04:20.080 --> 1:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>dark and while you're freezing, and it's an accelerated courtship. Absolutely.

1:04:26.720 --> 1:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask you a couple of questions about um,

1:04:31.200 --> 1:04:35.600
<v Speaker 1>show business and career in sort of the way. Yeah,

1:04:35.720 --> 1:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>personal life comes into it. You look at someone you mentioned,

1:04:40.040 --> 1:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Joe Rogan. Yeah, but uh, he's I don't want to

1:04:45.280 --> 1:04:48.360
<v Speaker 1>say he's untouchable, but everything he's done is organically built.

1:04:49.560 --> 1:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>But he doesn't he doesn't need um. The normal gatekeepers

1:04:55.680 --> 1:04:59.840
<v Speaker 1>don't apply absolutely right, Like you look and be like who,

1:05:00.280 --> 1:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Like if someone's mad at him or someone's displeased with

1:05:04.040 --> 1:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>something he's done, what do They can't stop him from

1:05:08.240 --> 1:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>publishing his podcast. The UFC isn't gonna mess with him.

1:05:12.400 --> 1:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>He's still gonna be a great stand up like he's

1:05:15.840 --> 1:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and it's not accidental. He just got himself. He's like

1:05:18.480 --> 1:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>created a position for himself where it's like, come on,

1:05:21.560 --> 1:05:24.080
<v Speaker 1>come on, I don't give a ship like I'm doing

1:05:24.160 --> 1:05:28.439
<v Speaker 1>my thing. Um. People you know, like like like Chris Pratt,

1:05:28.640 --> 1:05:31.840
<v Speaker 1>like pretty outspoken hunter. Yeah, someone outspoken Hunter, but he

1:05:32.160 --> 1:05:36.280
<v Speaker 1>is like he depends on studios wanting to engage with him. Um,

1:05:37.200 --> 1:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>So when I asked you like about that, do you

1:05:39.800 --> 1:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>are you fearful, like, like in a serious way. Do

1:05:42.160 --> 1:05:44.440
<v Speaker 1>you ever think like or is it just sort of

1:05:45.680 --> 1:05:51.480
<v Speaker 1>a very uh Middle America perspective that Hollywood would blacklist

1:05:51.600 --> 1:05:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the hunting guy or is that is that ridiculous? I

1:05:54.960 --> 1:05:58.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think that. Look, if I walked into work with

1:05:58.320 --> 1:06:01.080
<v Speaker 1>a MAGA hat, that would probably happen. Fact, you know

1:06:01.080 --> 1:06:04.760
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. Hunt Absolutely, I think you can get

1:06:04.800 --> 1:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>away with you can get away with hunting. Um, if

1:06:08.920 --> 1:06:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you're cooking, if you're a chef, think I think, but

1:06:15.080 --> 1:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that it's as it is stigmatized. But

1:06:18.760 --> 1:06:20.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not. I don't think it's enough of a to

1:06:21.040 --> 1:06:23.680
<v Speaker 1>be a deal breaker. And also, to tell you the truth,

1:06:24.120 --> 1:06:26.280
<v Speaker 1>now that I'm on this new show that's a NASCAR

1:06:26.400 --> 1:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>show that has a Nascar audience, I have a feeling

1:06:29.760 --> 1:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>That's why I think I'm a little uh, you know,

1:06:32.440 --> 1:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>more willing to come out of the closet about it.

1:06:34.880 --> 1:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, you know, not a judgment, No, not at all.

1:06:37.680 --> 1:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'm sure it's gonna be a big hunting

1:06:40.040 --> 1:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>crowd that watches that show. Um, what's your role in

1:06:43.040 --> 1:06:46.200
<v Speaker 1>the show. So it's about a NASCAR pit crew, Like,

1:06:46.240 --> 1:06:48.280
<v Speaker 1>who who are you? And I'm gonna I'm getting to it.

1:06:49.480 --> 1:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I am the chief engineer of the pit crew. Are

1:06:52.840 --> 1:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>like a nerd? Yeah, it's my favorite. I get to

1:06:56.040 --> 1:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>play a nerdy, a nerdy like socially awkward chief engineer.

1:07:00.240 --> 1:07:02.480
<v Speaker 1>It's like, it's the best. Did you have to learn

1:07:02.520 --> 1:07:05.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of terminology? You know? Look, I went to Hopkins,

1:07:05.960 --> 1:07:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I was premd. I you know, I it's not it's

1:07:08.960 --> 1:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>not that out of my wheelhouse. You can do a

1:07:11.240 --> 1:07:13.000
<v Speaker 1>little tech talk when you can do a little tech talk.

1:07:13.000 --> 1:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>If I need to do some tech talk, I could

1:07:14.600 --> 1:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>do some titilating tech tech talks. See that. I listened

1:07:17.360 --> 1:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>to your podcast, Bro, I knew that was one of

1:07:19.160 --> 1:07:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the words. You're you know a word we don't use.

1:07:21.000 --> 1:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>What's that alliteration? Really? Which is titilating? Alliteration is a

1:07:25.960 --> 1:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>good one. You're here has use that word? Un No,

1:07:30.480 --> 1:07:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I like it. Um, So, how did you become so

1:07:34.520 --> 1:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>so well read and all that stuff is it's just

1:07:37.320 --> 1:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>just yourself just being like I feel like I'm just

1:07:40.960 --> 1:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>going to fucking learn everything I can learn. Well, I

1:07:44.080 --> 1:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>did a lot of I got to do a lot

1:07:45.560 --> 1:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>of reading. UM. I appreciate you just asked me a question.

1:07:49.760 --> 1:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh no, I'm not too crazy about it. I'll tell

1:07:52.600 --> 1:07:57.480
<v Speaker 1>you the answer. No, because I went to when I

1:07:57.480 --> 1:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>went to graduate school, it's supposed to be two year program,

1:07:59.600 --> 1:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>but took me three years to get through. And you

1:08:04.400 --> 1:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>already even if you do it two years, it's like

1:08:08.320 --> 1:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>basically just go there and read. It's like writing. It's

1:08:12.000 --> 1:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>a writing program, but you just read, um, and you

1:08:16.000 --> 1:08:18.880
<v Speaker 1>get to read a lot, and you're around people who

1:08:18.880 --> 1:08:22.080
<v Speaker 1>are exciting about reading. And I had always read a

1:08:22.200 --> 1:08:26.120
<v Speaker 1>lot and and had good, you know, like like somewhat

1:08:26.120 --> 1:08:28.680
<v Speaker 1>good retention about it. But um, it was in that

1:08:29.000 --> 1:08:36.120
<v Speaker 1>culture of uh you know, just like several years of

1:08:36.280 --> 1:08:40.599
<v Speaker 1>like very intensive reading. Um. And I think I learned

1:08:40.680 --> 1:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>things from that because I remember, like leaving to go

1:08:42.320 --> 1:08:44.479
<v Speaker 1>to graduate school, I realized I had never read, I

1:08:44.640 --> 1:08:49.960
<v Speaker 1>never read anything approaching literature. And I remember dedicating a

1:08:50.080 --> 1:08:53.400
<v Speaker 1>summer to trying to get through James Joyce's Doublin Nurse

1:08:54.280 --> 1:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>because I sure as hell was going to read, Uh

1:08:57.520 --> 1:09:01.479
<v Speaker 1>what's this? Yeah? Yeah, I was like, oh, so he's

1:09:01.479 --> 1:09:05.160
<v Speaker 1>got a little short book. He couldn't get through it

1:09:05.160 --> 1:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>because I was like, all I've ever read was like

1:09:07.080 --> 1:09:11.920
<v Speaker 1>just stuff about nature, like nature stuff, history, mountain man

1:09:12.120 --> 1:09:16.680
<v Speaker 1>history stuff, Davy Crockett stuff. I just read all that

1:09:17.240 --> 1:09:21.000
<v Speaker 1>books about how to trap um and I remember thinking, like, man,

1:09:21.000 --> 1:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I got a bone up, and so I really like

1:09:23.800 --> 1:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>tried very hard to get my way through Dubliners to

1:09:27.040 --> 1:09:31.680
<v Speaker 1>prepare for like a life of literature. Okay, yeah, but

1:09:31.800 --> 1:09:33.559
<v Speaker 1>you know what it's like. I've friends who have gone

1:09:33.600 --> 1:09:37.400
<v Speaker 1>to grad school and they don't become like what like

1:09:37.520 --> 1:09:40.000
<v Speaker 1>how you've become. And it's interesting. Reading your book was

1:09:40.120 --> 1:09:43.320
<v Speaker 1>very interesting to me because I was like, Okay, I'm

1:09:43.320 --> 1:09:45.599
<v Speaker 1>gonna read that his dad was a professor or something,

1:09:46.360 --> 1:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and like this was just something that like, you know,

1:09:49.479 --> 1:09:51.680
<v Speaker 1>even though they grew up around the woods, like you know,

1:09:51.800 --> 1:09:54.200
<v Speaker 1>he was always and that wasn't the case. I mean,

1:09:54.640 --> 1:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that you were like trying to be

1:09:56.400 --> 1:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>like a professional trapper. I was like, holy fuck man,

1:09:59.320 --> 1:10:03.200
<v Speaker 1>this guy, he he you can most people can't just

1:10:03.280 --> 1:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>reinvent themselves as a fucking good writer. Well yeah, but

1:10:06.800 --> 1:10:10.519
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah, think about too. Um is in some

1:10:10.680 --> 1:10:15.680
<v Speaker 1>ways this is true of me, And you're honest ambroty

1:10:15.800 --> 1:10:18.439
<v Speaker 1>here in some ways right now. I mean it's like

1:10:18.479 --> 1:10:24.080
<v Speaker 1>we effectively think about and talk about this stuff for

1:10:24.120 --> 1:10:30.600
<v Speaker 1>a living, right, So that's you know, you're devoting a

1:10:30.680 --> 1:10:34.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of time to it, like the subjects, you know,

1:10:34.760 --> 1:10:37.040
<v Speaker 1>not so much for writing them down. But it's just

1:10:37.200 --> 1:10:39.320
<v Speaker 1>you wind up kind of getting where I think you

1:10:39.320 --> 1:10:41.880
<v Speaker 1>wind up getting where you You just you have the

1:10:42.080 --> 1:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>luxury of getting to immerse into something, um and really

1:10:50.200 --> 1:10:54.400
<v Speaker 1>surround yourself, surround yourself with people who are equally immersed.

1:10:54.600 --> 1:10:55.760
<v Speaker 1>And I did that and I got and I was

1:10:55.800 --> 1:10:59.040
<v Speaker 1>able to do that for a while with when I

1:10:59.479 --> 1:11:02.920
<v Speaker 1>went to school for writing, and then coming out of that,

1:11:03.000 --> 1:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>all my friends are writers and you're just like immersed

1:11:05.479 --> 1:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and that kind of like gradually segued into you know,

1:11:09.120 --> 1:11:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I always had that focus in the outdoors, but then

1:11:11.720 --> 1:11:15.120
<v Speaker 1>why not becoming very immersed with people who think about

1:11:16.120 --> 1:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>hunting all the time and think about fishing and write

1:11:18.080 --> 1:11:20.920
<v Speaker 1>about it and make their careers about it. And then

1:11:20.960 --> 1:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>it winds up just has this snow I feel it

1:11:22.760 --> 1:11:26.080
<v Speaker 1>has this like snowballing effect. Right, You're just able to

1:11:26.120 --> 1:11:30.000
<v Speaker 1>devote an enormous amount of time and attention to something yeah, absolutely, um,

1:11:30.160 --> 1:11:32.759
<v Speaker 1>which I'm sure it is true, and many many other disciplines.

1:11:32.760 --> 1:11:34.840
<v Speaker 1>We had the other day, we had the insect guy

1:11:34.880 --> 1:11:37.200
<v Speaker 1>on right spend his whole career mess around insects, and

1:11:37.280 --> 1:11:39.320
<v Speaker 1>you can get you can stray pretty far from his

1:11:39.400 --> 1:11:41.439
<v Speaker 1>focus and ask some questions about bugs and he knows

1:11:41.479 --> 1:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>what you're talking about. And you're like, how in the

1:11:43.640 --> 1:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>world do you know? And they're like, oh, yeah, because

1:11:45.320 --> 1:11:49.280
<v Speaker 1>he liked me, spent twenty years dealing with these sort

1:11:49.320 --> 1:11:52.360
<v Speaker 1>of same sets of ideas. Yeah, yeah, it's awesome. I

1:11:52.439 --> 1:11:55.720
<v Speaker 1>mean it's I have a buddy, um, Josh Healed. He's uh.

1:11:55.800 --> 1:11:59.400
<v Speaker 1>He wrote the movie Hot Tup Time Machine, and he's

1:11:59.439 --> 1:12:01.439
<v Speaker 1>one of the writers of Cobra Kai this show, and

1:12:01.640 --> 1:12:05.320
<v Speaker 1>he he always says, I hate writing, but I love

1:12:05.439 --> 1:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>being done with writing. Yeah, that's a there's a that's

1:12:08.040 --> 1:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>a that's a there's many versions of that. Yeah, he

1:12:12.640 --> 1:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't come up with that, didn't. You're on bad Um

1:12:17.800 --> 1:12:21.400
<v Speaker 1>do you feel the same way? Oh? Absolutely. I think

1:12:21.400 --> 1:12:25.800
<v Speaker 1>it's just like like, I hate I hate writing words,

1:12:26.160 --> 1:12:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I hate writing. If there's nothing like being done with

1:12:27.840 --> 1:12:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you know the writer Ian Fraser, I don't think

1:12:30.160 --> 1:12:32.160
<v Speaker 1>he's a New Yorker writer. He wrote a book called

1:12:32.200 --> 1:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Great Planes, History of the American Great Plane, phenomenal book.

1:12:36.080 --> 1:12:37.439
<v Speaker 1>He was saying when he was young and he wanted

1:12:37.439 --> 1:12:40.080
<v Speaker 1>to be a writer, like he always grew up reading

1:12:40.120 --> 1:12:41.760
<v Speaker 1>The New Yorker, and he said, like when normal kids

1:12:41.960 --> 1:12:44.600
<v Speaker 1>draw like monster trucks and whatever, he would draw like

1:12:44.880 --> 1:12:51.200
<v Speaker 1>a person with a Martini glass. But he said, like

1:12:51.280 --> 1:12:54.000
<v Speaker 1>he always imagined, Oh, current, I have my look at

1:12:54.040 --> 1:13:03.240
<v Speaker 1>my shirt, shout out to check. He sie, you ever

1:13:03.280 --> 1:13:04.559
<v Speaker 1>go to Austin? This is where you ought to eat?

1:13:04.640 --> 1:13:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, you should hang out with Jesse Griffith's actually,

1:13:07.680 --> 1:13:11.280
<v Speaker 1>who's Jesse? He's no Mo, He's no. He's a hunter

1:13:11.360 --> 1:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>in Austin, Texas. He has a restaurant. He teaches a

1:13:13.960 --> 1:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of people. You guys would actually, you guys would

1:13:17.120 --> 1:13:19.519
<v Speaker 1>be like nuts on a dog. I bet you. I

1:13:19.600 --> 1:13:22.599
<v Speaker 1>think you guys just love each other. Man, Um, yeah,

1:13:22.640 --> 1:13:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I think I remember was he on here? Or yeah? Yeah,

1:13:26.360 --> 1:13:28.120
<v Speaker 1>he's been on the show. You'd love that guy. Yeah,

1:13:28.160 --> 1:13:31.080
<v Speaker 1>he seems interesting. You guys hit it off. He's got

1:13:31.120 --> 1:13:33.519
<v Speaker 1>a good cook. But you know, for sure, what was

1:13:33.560 --> 1:13:38.080
<v Speaker 1>that getting at though? Um? We were talking about writing,

1:13:38.320 --> 1:13:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and then we were talking, Oh, girls can tell you

1:13:40.760 --> 1:13:46.599
<v Speaker 1>a good writing quote. Yeah, Um, how's it go? It's

1:13:46.640 --> 1:13:49.479
<v Speaker 1>like I'm gonna paraphrase the writing quote, but it's uh

1:13:50.080 --> 1:13:53.040
<v Speaker 1>some about like working on a book. It's like driving

1:13:53.160 --> 1:13:57.040
<v Speaker 1>somewhere at night where you can only see as far

1:13:57.160 --> 1:14:01.479
<v Speaker 1>as your headlights, but you just keep going and going

1:14:01.600 --> 1:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>and going and going, and eventually you get there. Yeah,

1:14:05.280 --> 1:14:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and that's miserable. There's yeah and yeah without a GPS.

1:14:12.120 --> 1:14:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Because I think it's like there's so much potential for

1:14:15.479 --> 1:14:19.759
<v Speaker 1>wasting fucking hours and hours of hours, and the amount

1:14:19.800 --> 1:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>of stuff that you write and you just throw out

1:14:21.479 --> 1:14:24.559
<v Speaker 1>is just like it's just wasted neurons. Well, I mean

1:14:24.600 --> 1:14:26.479
<v Speaker 1>it's not wasted because you you have to get through

1:14:26.520 --> 1:14:28.280
<v Speaker 1>that stuff to get to the good stuff. I work,

1:14:28.800 --> 1:14:32.320
<v Speaker 1>um lately on a couple of projects. I've worked with

1:14:32.520 --> 1:14:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Brody here as a writing partner, and Brodie's I mean

1:14:36.600 --> 1:14:40.559
<v Speaker 1>it's fair to say you're aself taught writer. I mean yeah,

1:14:40.600 --> 1:14:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean I studied writing it an undergrad state. Yeah,

1:14:44.360 --> 1:14:48.720
<v Speaker 1>not like it's near, nowhere near approaching what you did,

1:14:48.840 --> 1:14:53.880
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, a little bit enough. Um, he writes very

1:14:54.200 --> 1:14:58.599
<v Speaker 1>like there's a there's not a writing quote. R J. Apple.

1:14:58.760 --> 1:15:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I think no one or I can write better than

1:15:02.200 --> 1:15:04.880
<v Speaker 1>anyone that can write faster than me, And I can

1:15:04.920 --> 1:15:07.120
<v Speaker 1>write faster than anyone that can write better than me.

1:15:07.360 --> 1:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>That's good. That's Brody a little bit. Yeah, Brody's like

1:15:10.760 --> 1:15:13.280
<v Speaker 1>just fast. Yeah, it doesn't have a lot of weight.

1:15:13.320 --> 1:15:17.160
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't like write whole pages and then be like yeah, wow,

1:15:17.840 --> 1:15:21.559
<v Speaker 1>hey he plays right writing for keeps. Yeah, I don't

1:15:21.600 --> 1:15:27.960
<v Speaker 1>like rewriting ship. Here's there's another quote that is actually

1:15:28.439 --> 1:15:31.479
<v Speaker 1>not attributed to writing. It's attributed to Napoleon on you

1:15:31.560 --> 1:15:34.679
<v Speaker 1>know how he won so many wars. But it's basically

1:15:35.160 --> 1:15:38.519
<v Speaker 1>I think it was quantity as a quality unto itself.

1:15:39.760 --> 1:15:42.360
<v Speaker 1>I gotta think about it. Oh yeah yeah, And I

1:15:42.439 --> 1:15:44.600
<v Speaker 1>think with writing that is so important. You just have

1:15:44.720 --> 1:15:48.479
<v Speaker 1>to fucking keep cranking stuff out right. Here's a writing

1:15:48.560 --> 1:15:53.920
<v Speaker 1>quote from a teacher. Hey, spin off podcast writing quote

1:15:53.960 --> 1:15:59.679
<v Speaker 1>from my tenth grade mentor. Yeah, um, if you're counting

1:15:59.760 --> 1:16:01.519
<v Speaker 1>the words, you're right. We'd be like, how long does

1:16:01.560 --> 1:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>it need to be for the assignments? Yeah, if you're

1:16:03.920 --> 1:16:06.080
<v Speaker 1>counting the words, you're right. You're not writing words you

1:16:06.240 --> 1:16:10.200
<v Speaker 1>count I've later found out that's not necessarily true because

1:16:11.080 --> 1:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>being a magazine better they never really like hold you

1:16:13.439 --> 1:16:17.240
<v Speaker 1>two word counts. Yeah, and then you are like, yeah,

1:16:18.439 --> 1:16:20.519
<v Speaker 1>we should tell that teacher for those who can't teach.

1:16:20.800 --> 1:16:26.560
<v Speaker 1>That's his quote on Sorry, Mr Eden, you're better just

1:16:27.000 --> 1:16:31.600
<v Speaker 1>turn turned everything off, shut it down. My career is

1:16:31.680 --> 1:16:34.680
<v Speaker 1>over after this podcast comes out. In my notes and things,

1:16:34.720 --> 1:16:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to ask you about why do I have down? Yeah,

1:16:37.760 --> 1:16:41.120
<v Speaker 1>giving gourmet game to hardcore hunters who can't cook. I

1:16:41.280 --> 1:16:45.000
<v Speaker 1>like that a sentence. That's not even a sentence, but said, no,

1:16:45.240 --> 1:16:47.960
<v Speaker 1>that was you know, Dean. Dean is the state trooper.

1:16:49.160 --> 1:16:52.479
<v Speaker 1>Him and his buddies, um can't cook. They can't cook

1:16:52.720 --> 1:16:54.880
<v Speaker 1>at all. And they think that tell me the same.

1:16:54.960 --> 1:16:58.040
<v Speaker 1>They're always like, dear, tastes horrible. I'm like, guys, it doesn't.

1:16:58.040 --> 1:17:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you. And I made them the last time.

1:17:01.320 --> 1:17:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I took a bunch of ground deer and I made

1:17:04.080 --> 1:17:08.200
<v Speaker 1>like um. I made like Persian sausages, Persian kebab out

1:17:08.240 --> 1:17:11.639
<v Speaker 1>of them um, which is basically, you ground up the meat,

1:17:11.840 --> 1:17:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you have to mix it like you grind, you grind,

1:17:14.439 --> 1:17:16.599
<v Speaker 1>you grind, you grind the meat. You want a seventy

1:17:16.720 --> 1:17:20.800
<v Speaker 1>thirty fat to lean right. So I got a bunch

1:17:20.800 --> 1:17:23.360
<v Speaker 1>of beef tallow mix that in and then you want

1:17:23.400 --> 1:17:26.679
<v Speaker 1>to put a bunch of onions, ground grounded up onions

1:17:26.760 --> 1:17:29.200
<v Speaker 1>in there, and then some spices, and then you cook

1:17:29.240 --> 1:17:33.040
<v Speaker 1>it really low, so the onions caramelized within the kebab,

1:17:33.800 --> 1:17:37.720
<v Speaker 1>and you skewer these meat balls. I just made them

1:17:37.760 --> 1:17:39.840
<v Speaker 1>look you kind of make them look like little like

1:17:40.000 --> 1:17:44.160
<v Speaker 1>long fingers, like a sausage on a stick. It's yeah.

1:17:44.320 --> 1:17:47.720
<v Speaker 1>And then you put no casing and then you know,

1:17:47.760 --> 1:17:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you put some tumeric in it, you put some sumac

1:17:50.080 --> 1:17:52.960
<v Speaker 1>on it, you know. Uh, And these guys never had

1:17:53.000 --> 1:17:55.880
<v Speaker 1>to bush. I've had more of that than you can

1:17:56.000 --> 1:17:59.000
<v Speaker 1>you will ever have your horrile life. But I don't

1:17:59.000 --> 1:18:01.479
<v Speaker 1>know what that is. I know, like sumac, you know,

1:18:01.600 --> 1:18:05.479
<v Speaker 1>poison suma? Actually, yeah, so there's a berry and you

1:18:05.640 --> 1:18:08.400
<v Speaker 1>dry it out and then you turn into a powder. Yeah,

1:18:08.439 --> 1:18:11.680
<v Speaker 1>and it's used as um. It's used aes like if

1:18:11.720 --> 1:18:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you go to like Persian households, it's like salt pepper sumac.

1:18:15.240 --> 1:18:17.639
<v Speaker 1>I got some at home. I'll bring it for you tomorrow. Yeah,

1:18:17.920 --> 1:18:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I would appreciate that. But now, are you sure that

1:18:20.240 --> 1:18:23.880
<v Speaker 1>it's the same poison sumac that litters American roadways in

1:18:23.920 --> 1:18:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the Midwest. I don't know. Actually, I don't think it's

1:18:26.400 --> 1:18:28.840
<v Speaker 1>poison sumac. I think it's I think it's just as

1:18:29.040 --> 1:18:31.360
<v Speaker 1>it's just sumac. Is that is that? Am I? I

1:18:31.439 --> 1:18:37.360
<v Speaker 1>think so many I'm guilty not, I mean, I know, like, yeah, yeah,

1:18:37.400 --> 1:18:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm familiar with our sumac. I've never heard of someone

1:18:39.360 --> 1:18:42.000
<v Speaker 1>eating Have you ever collected and dried your own? No?

1:18:42.320 --> 1:18:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I haven't. I do fennel pollen though, every spring. Yeah

1:18:46.080 --> 1:18:50.040
<v Speaker 1>that's awesome. So it's expensive. Yeah, do you do any

1:18:50.040 --> 1:18:51.840
<v Speaker 1>of that? Do you do any of the foraging? The

1:18:51.920 --> 1:18:57.360
<v Speaker 1>foraging for I'd forage for the real standards like like

1:18:57.520 --> 1:19:04.759
<v Speaker 1>what like I like Morrel's oyster, mushrooms, bleats, ramps, ramps,

1:19:04.840 --> 1:19:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, I like you know, blackberries, you know, like

1:19:08.800 --> 1:19:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the Yeah. I tend to focus on the stuff that's

1:19:13.080 --> 1:19:18.880
<v Speaker 1>just good, like really good. Um, you're excited to have it.

1:19:19.439 --> 1:19:21.519
<v Speaker 1>Not laborious now that I have a problem with it.

1:19:21.560 --> 1:19:23.240
<v Speaker 1>If I didn't, if I wasn't into hunting and fishing,

1:19:23.240 --> 1:19:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I'd probably be a whole hog into that and I

1:19:25.040 --> 1:19:28.840
<v Speaker 1>would be making acorn flour and but um. I tend

1:19:28.920 --> 1:19:35.280
<v Speaker 1>to focus on the bountius exceptionally good things that if

1:19:35.320 --> 1:19:37.000
<v Speaker 1>you were in a story, you'd be almost tempted to

1:19:37.080 --> 1:19:40.320
<v Speaker 1>buy them kind of items and easy to spot with mushrooms.

1:19:40.320 --> 1:19:42.400

1:21:08.280 --> 1:21:11.000
<v Speaker 1>would that that fun factor get you laid so hard.

1:21:11.160 --> 1:21:13.080
<v Speaker 1>We had a guy sending a picture of a tattoo

1:21:13.200 --> 1:21:15.760
<v Speaker 1>or he had the country like he had like America

1:21:16.000 --> 1:21:19.719
<v Speaker 1>tattooed on his arm, and he had little Turkey tracks

1:21:20.680 --> 1:21:25.840
<v Speaker 1>tattooed where he fulfilled his super Slam okay, and then

1:21:25.960 --> 1:21:30.120
<v Speaker 1>he had the different feathers tattooed on his arm, and um,

1:21:30.640 --> 1:21:34.799
<v Speaker 1>I like, you know you, as Julian, appreciate this. I'm untattooed, okay.

1:21:35.240 --> 1:21:41.240
<v Speaker 1>And I thought about and I thought about, I half

1:21:41.360 --> 1:21:46.640
<v Speaker 1>jokingly half seriously thought about getting something similar. Didn't do it.

1:21:48.840 --> 1:21:52.360
<v Speaker 1>The sheep Grand Slam thing. One of the sheep he said,

1:21:52.800 --> 1:21:55.519
<v Speaker 1>there's like a world Yanna used it he's used you

1:21:55.560 --> 1:22:00.200
<v Speaker 1>pretty good about this. Tell everybody, Johnie what Yeah, well

1:22:00.200 --> 1:22:03.519
<v Speaker 1>there's a North American yeah, which is just four, which

1:22:03.600 --> 1:22:05.920
<v Speaker 1>is the fourth sheep that you can kill here. But

1:22:06.040 --> 1:22:07.599
<v Speaker 1>he might be going all over there, he's going all

1:22:07.640 --> 1:22:11.320
<v Speaker 1>over He was just in like, uh of, what's it called,

1:22:12.000 --> 1:22:20.360

1:22:20.800 --> 1:22:22.560
<v Speaker 1>He was in Croatia to do this. He went to

1:22:22.640 --> 1:22:25.320
<v Speaker 1>the Alps and then he went to Alaska. I think

1:22:25.360 --> 1:22:29.240
<v Speaker 1>he's doing one in Texas. I don't know what your

1:22:29.280 --> 1:22:31.040
<v Speaker 1>body's off to you, but it doesn't have anything to

1:22:31.120 --> 1:22:33.240
<v Speaker 1>do with Texas. Hold on, here's the Texas one. And

1:22:33.280 --> 1:22:34.560
<v Speaker 1>this is one not to ask you about because this

1:22:34.600 --> 1:22:37.800
<v Speaker 1>seems ill not legit to me. Texas. One of these

1:22:37.880 --> 1:22:41.000
<v Speaker 1>sheep is like a like it's like an Armenian sheep

1:22:41.120 --> 1:22:45.000
<v Speaker 1>or some ship, and it's like in Iran. And because

1:22:45.040 --> 1:22:46.800
<v Speaker 1>it's hard, you can't go to Iran to hunt or

1:22:46.840 --> 1:22:49.559
<v Speaker 1>it'll it'll, you know, it's hard. Some dude in Texas

1:22:49.640 --> 1:22:53.400
<v Speaker 1>apparently has these sheep and it's still counts with the

1:22:53.479 --> 1:22:56.400
<v Speaker 1>for the Grand Slam, Like apparently it still counts for

1:22:56.439 --> 1:23:01.920

<v Speaker 1>The scope cover off is number one. Um, and I

1:23:57.080 --> 1:23:59.680
<v Speaker 1>would say this isn't really a hot hot tip, but

1:24:00.200 --> 1:24:02.439
<v Speaker 1>use those organs. I made a pete once out of

1:24:02.439 --> 1:24:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the Heart and the liver bro. It was so delicious,

1:24:06.160 --> 1:24:10.920

1:24:11.240 --> 1:24:16.360
<v Speaker 1>dabble dabble. Yeah, um. And also I would say this

1:24:29.160 --> 1:24:33.679
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna it's gonna turn into a tip because Okay, whenever, whenever,

1:24:33.920 --> 1:24:35.959
<v Speaker 1>there's no point in life that I get more anxiety

1:24:36.000 --> 1:24:38.240
<v Speaker 1>than and I have to walk into like a gun store,

1:24:38.400 --> 1:24:40.639
<v Speaker 1>like a hunting store, or like a shooting just because

1:24:40.680 --> 1:24:42.720
<v Speaker 1>you're like, I don't have any idea what's in here.

1:24:42.800 --> 1:24:45.799
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like they love to make you feel stupid,

1:24:46.520 --> 1:24:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Like if you say the wrong if you referred to

1:24:48.680 --> 1:24:51.559
<v Speaker 1>the to the shell as a bullet or a bullet

1:24:51.600 --> 1:24:53.400
<v Speaker 1>as a shell, They're like, you don't even know what

1:24:53.560 --> 1:24:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the terminology is. I'm like, there's like a all like

1:24:58.479 --> 1:25:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Napoleon dynamite kinda, And I fucking hate it. And I'm like, yo,

1:25:04.720 --> 1:25:07.479
<v Speaker 1>if you're trying to get people to, you know, be

1:25:07.640 --> 1:25:11.240
<v Speaker 1>on your side about hunting or guns or whatever, be nicer,

1:25:11.920 --> 1:25:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Be nicer to people who don't know about them, and

1:25:14.080 --> 1:25:17.560
<v Speaker 1>don't assume that everyone knows what the thirty odd six is.

1:25:17.680 --> 1:25:22.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, Yeah, it's I hate it. Walking into the

1:25:22.360 --> 1:25:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Apple store. Yeah. Well, but they're nice to you there.

1:25:25.920 --> 1:25:29.800
<v Speaker 1>They're nice. They're wearing their shirts like yeah. But listen next,

1:25:30.200 --> 1:25:32.360
<v Speaker 1>when when I go into these gun stores and they

1:25:32.439 --> 1:25:35.240
<v Speaker 1>give me I'm not like rubbing into their face that

1:25:35.360 --> 1:25:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I know organic chemistry and they don't. I'm not like,

1:25:38.880 --> 1:25:42.439
<v Speaker 1>what h four messing you idiot? You don't know anything.

1:25:43.160 --> 1:25:45.240
<v Speaker 1>But that's the vibe I get at those places. Man,

1:25:45.400 --> 1:25:48.640
<v Speaker 1>so hot tip, be nicer to non gun people. Can

1:25:48.680 --> 1:25:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I give you a hot too? Oh God, it's about

1:25:51.439 --> 1:25:54.720
<v Speaker 1>walking into gun store please. Okay, I have found I've

1:25:54.720 --> 1:25:57.320
<v Speaker 1>talked about this before. I've found a strategy in life

1:25:57.840 --> 1:26:02.320
<v Speaker 1>of dealing. Um, it's a start conversations like that with

1:26:03.520 --> 1:26:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm just a total dumbass, right. Yeah. And I think

1:26:07.760 --> 1:26:09.320
<v Speaker 1>when I used when I talked about this before, the

1:26:09.400 --> 1:26:13.719
<v Speaker 1>context was having a plumber come over having a problem

1:26:13.760 --> 1:26:17.120
<v Speaker 1>with I couldn't figure something out, and the plumber comes over,

1:26:17.560 --> 1:26:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and instead of being in a swinging dick contest okay,

1:26:21.360 --> 1:26:23.479
<v Speaker 1>instead of being like, well I almost got it licked,

1:26:23.560 --> 1:26:26.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, but whoever plumb this thing? Right? Instead of

1:26:26.479 --> 1:26:29.200
<v Speaker 1>doing that, I think the solderings off. Yeah, I'm like,

1:26:29.400 --> 1:26:32.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what, man, I'm just a total dumbass. I

1:26:32.200 --> 1:26:33.960
<v Speaker 1>try to take it apart. I don't know what I'm

1:26:34.000 --> 1:26:37.519
<v Speaker 1>looking at you. Oh buddy, let's take a look. It's

1:26:37.560 --> 1:26:42.080
<v Speaker 1>just everything. And if you come in, if you go

1:26:42.280 --> 1:26:46.320
<v Speaker 1>into your local gun store and you say, just starting out,

1:26:46.560 --> 1:26:50.720
<v Speaker 1>total dumbass. Um. I've been out a few times. I

1:26:50.840 --> 1:26:53.840
<v Speaker 1>left my concealed carry at home. But you know, what

1:26:53.960 --> 1:26:57.040
<v Speaker 1>can you tell me? Now? Man? I walk into see

1:26:57.040 --> 1:27:06.880
<v Speaker 1>how walking, dick swinging? I call everyone, chief, where you

1:27:07.000 --> 1:27:11.880
<v Speaker 1>keep the good stuff? Chief? Hey? Doing? No? I think

1:27:11.920 --> 1:27:13.960
<v Speaker 1>you should try that in your local guns. Yeah, yeah,

1:27:14.040 --> 1:27:16.479
<v Speaker 1>I think then they will take more of a paternal view.

1:27:16.960 --> 1:27:20.479
<v Speaker 1>I do find that gun stores in UH cities are

1:27:20.640 --> 1:27:23.599
<v Speaker 1>usually I don't know, they're even meaner than like gun

1:27:23.680 --> 1:27:25.600
<v Speaker 1>stories like the one in Olan that we have You

1:27:25.640 --> 1:27:28.280
<v Speaker 1>ever been in John Javino's gun shop. That's the meanest

1:27:28.280 --> 1:27:29.760
<v Speaker 1>gun store in the world. It's like, there's a gun

1:27:29.840 --> 1:27:33.080
<v Speaker 1>store in Manhattan. It's in Manhattan. No, but the one

1:27:33.120 --> 1:27:34.760
<v Speaker 1>in at least the police use it to buy, like

1:27:35.280 --> 1:27:39.320
<v Speaker 1>buy their weapons. You can do ffl ffl transfers. You

1:27:39.360 --> 1:27:40.840
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about players who are very mean? Do

1:27:40.880 --> 1:27:43.640
<v Speaker 1>you like very annoyed that you're in there? I hate it.

1:27:44.200 --> 1:27:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Like that's different because that's like I feel like it's

1:27:46.479 --> 1:27:52.479
<v Speaker 1>like it's like law enforcement v. Civilian. Yeah, it's not

1:27:52.640 --> 1:27:56.160
<v Speaker 1>like you know, but even then the law enforcement in

1:27:56.600 --> 1:28:00.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, Olean or you know Upstate New York is

1:28:00.200 --> 1:28:03.519
<v Speaker 1>totally for their civilians having guns, like they're fine. Well,

1:28:03.520 --> 1:28:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean in that way. I just mean that

1:28:05.360 --> 1:28:10.439
<v Speaker 1>like pross like professionally trained, you know, and these are services,

1:28:10.560 --> 1:28:12.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're dealing mostly in service weapons. And then

1:28:12.760 --> 1:28:14.920
<v Speaker 1>you come in and you're like your elm or fund

1:28:15.280 --> 1:28:19.280
<v Speaker 1>right right right right. It's just it's just it's not cute.

1:28:19.320 --> 1:28:22.960
<v Speaker 1>They don't think it's cute. Yeah, oh man, it's yeah.

1:28:22.960 --> 1:28:25.800
<v Speaker 1>It's not like you shouldn't be allowed to if anything is.

1:28:25.920 --> 1:28:28.520
<v Speaker 1>It's the opposite of that. But it's just it's condescending.

1:28:29.000 --> 1:28:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I hate it. I hate it. But try that approach

1:28:31.439 --> 1:28:35.640
<v Speaker 1>and going stories and also, um, do you don't do

1:28:35.680 --> 1:28:36.880
<v Speaker 1>you live in a place where you can sort of

1:28:36.960 --> 1:28:40.280
<v Speaker 1>develop a relationship with some people at your going you know,

1:28:40.439 --> 1:28:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't. Here's the thing. I don't go shooting that

1:28:43.400 --> 1:28:46.080
<v Speaker 1>much that I need that. I don't think like I

1:28:46.200 --> 1:28:48.240
<v Speaker 1>have a I do have a I have a handgun

1:28:48.360 --> 1:28:52.840
<v Speaker 1>at home for personal for you know, But I got

1:28:52.960 --> 1:28:54.960
<v Speaker 1>a revolver just because I didn't want to have to

1:28:55.040 --> 1:28:57.120
<v Speaker 1>keep going to the range to exercise the spring on

1:28:57.200 --> 1:29:00.000
<v Speaker 1>a on a semi automatic. Wow, you know your stuff

1:29:00.000 --> 1:29:06.360
<v Speaker 1>of man, this is why he winds up in the showdown.

1:29:09.320 --> 1:29:11.000
<v Speaker 1>When I lived in Seattle, there was there was I

1:29:11.080 --> 1:29:14.160
<v Speaker 1>did most of my sport, like most of my sporting

1:29:14.200 --> 1:29:17.840
<v Speaker 1>goods purchases and my firearms transactions from a place called

1:29:17.880 --> 1:29:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Outdoor Emporium. And there was a guy there, Brian, that

1:29:22.120 --> 1:29:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I liked a lot, and I would come in and

1:29:24.080 --> 1:29:28.479
<v Speaker 1>like be like, where's Brian? And I would text Brian

1:29:28.800 --> 1:29:31.439
<v Speaker 1>to be like are you at work? Brian's looking at

1:29:31.439 --> 1:29:33.920
<v Speaker 1>his phone, rolling his eyes like like are you down there?

1:29:34.000 --> 1:29:35.840
<v Speaker 1>He's like I'm here, Like I gotta come down, and

1:29:35.880 --> 1:29:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll come down. I was like, deal with a guy,

1:29:37.800 --> 1:29:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Deal with Brian. I liked. I liked, get it, I

1:29:41.720 --> 1:29:43.640
<v Speaker 1>get it. They're very actually they're very nice to me.

1:29:43.720 --> 1:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>At Whitetail, which is the store in Oleen, which is

1:29:46.360 --> 1:29:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the one that mogoes to because he's the mayor of Oleen.

1:29:49.920 --> 1:29:51.960
<v Speaker 1>So I'd walk in there even without him because he'd

1:29:52.000 --> 1:29:56.040
<v Speaker 1>be like, Hey, I'm friends with Dr Alhumi And it's

1:29:56.080 --> 1:29:58.960
<v Speaker 1>hilarious because it's like it's this like super red necky

1:29:59.040 --> 1:30:00.880
<v Speaker 1>guns though, and they're like, oh, you know Dr l

1:30:01.040 --> 1:30:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Maddie Carpet exactly. You mentioned the Arab guy's name, and

1:30:05.160 --> 1:30:09.040
<v Speaker 1>they're like, Dr Who Maddie did my nee scope? Like

1:30:09.160 --> 1:30:13.160
<v Speaker 1>they all know, and then they're probably like I thought

1:30:13.200 --> 1:30:17.840
<v Speaker 1>there was something about you and him, but yeah, never mind. Yeah, man, hey,

1:30:18.240 --> 1:30:21.120
<v Speaker 1>you never know. I'd be open minded. I want to

1:30:21.120 --> 1:30:23.479
<v Speaker 1>ask you the last question. It was something that that

1:30:23.680 --> 1:30:27.799
<v Speaker 1>you had mentioned to talk about maybe didn't um gun safety?

1:30:28.360 --> 1:30:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Gun safety? Yeah, so this was are you paranoid? You know,

1:30:31.800 --> 1:30:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm very paranoid now any accidental discharges? It was a

1:30:36.360 --> 1:30:39.639
<v Speaker 1>part of one UM and it was you're not gonna

1:30:39.680 --> 1:30:45.120
<v Speaker 1>believe it was with I was with Mo and uh,

1:30:45.360 --> 1:30:48.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, I always would give him ship for like

1:30:48.800 --> 1:30:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's always like make sure that everything is

1:30:52.200 --> 1:30:54.840
<v Speaker 1>out of the chamber and like me all you know,

1:30:54.920 --> 1:30:56.880
<v Speaker 1>he does he really sound like that? No, not at all.

1:30:57.320 --> 1:30:59.519
<v Speaker 1>He's very educated guy, and he's you know, just like

1:30:59.680 --> 1:31:01.680
<v Speaker 1>always pointing in the right direction and it's not which

1:31:01.760 --> 1:31:04.160
<v Speaker 1>is obviously totally normal. But then when I'm like trying

1:31:04.200 --> 1:31:07.600
<v Speaker 1>to load load my gun. He like he didn't have

1:31:07.720 --> 1:31:10.040
<v Speaker 1>faith in me, you know, so he was trying. He's

1:31:10.200 --> 1:31:13.160
<v Speaker 1>he micromanaged the situation. So he had We were going

1:31:13.240 --> 1:31:15.439
<v Speaker 1>turkey hunting, which I've never I've never gotten a turkey.

1:31:15.439 --> 1:31:17.639
<v Speaker 1>I've gone a couple of times that in his same

1:31:17.720 --> 1:31:21.840
<v Speaker 1>little yeah yeah um. But honestly, when we go, it's

1:31:21.880 --> 1:31:24.240
<v Speaker 1>like ramp season. So the first light comes out and like,

1:31:24.280 --> 1:31:28.559
<v Speaker 1>I see the ramps and I lose my sh um.

1:31:28.920 --> 1:31:32.519
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so I think his hands were on on

1:31:33.040 --> 1:31:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the shotgun. My hands were on it, and boom it

1:31:35.240 --> 1:31:38.599
<v Speaker 1>went off. I don't understand you're both handling the same yep,

1:31:38.840 --> 1:31:41.240
<v Speaker 1>because he's instructing uns on something. Yeah, and I think

1:31:41.320 --> 1:31:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I was like, dude, I got it. And it was

1:31:42.680 --> 1:31:46.720
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of pulling and pushing and boom it

1:31:46.760 --> 1:31:49.040
<v Speaker 1>went off. And he's like, here's how to do this

1:31:49.160 --> 1:31:52.240
<v Speaker 1>safely and you're like, no, it's not it, No you don't.

1:31:52.320 --> 1:31:55.800
<v Speaker 1>So it's like a combination of me, uh not my

1:31:55.960 --> 1:31:59.759
<v Speaker 1>ego and then his distrust of me, you know, together

1:32:00.400 --> 1:32:02.880
<v Speaker 1>and it was it went off. I mean we were

1:32:02.880 --> 1:32:05.200
<v Speaker 1>in between. You know, it's shot in front of us.

1:32:05.240 --> 1:32:11.559
<v Speaker 1>But scary, very scary. Oh, I've been witness too. I mean,

1:32:11.600 --> 1:32:15.120
<v Speaker 1>in all honesty, I've probably been witnessed in a lifetime

1:32:15.200 --> 1:32:19.879
<v Speaker 1>of of gunplay. I've probably been witnessed to in excess

1:32:19.960 --> 1:32:24.720
<v Speaker 1>of a dozen counting being kids. Dude, we're kids. That's

1:32:24.720 --> 1:32:28.200
<v Speaker 1>why I like muzzle control. It's like, if you know,

1:32:28.360 --> 1:32:31.360
<v Speaker 1>we're remember walking up my mom like the steps from

1:32:31.400 --> 1:32:35.080
<v Speaker 1>my mom and dad's house to the garage and my

1:32:35.160 --> 1:32:39.280
<v Speaker 1>buddy Brian burrowing in a twenty two shells next to

1:32:39.400 --> 1:32:45.080
<v Speaker 1>my knee into the grass when we're high schoolers. But

1:32:45.760 --> 1:32:48.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, thankfully that even though people didn't have good

1:32:48.800 --> 1:32:52.479
<v Speaker 1>trigger control, they had good muscle control. And I've never

1:32:52.760 --> 1:32:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I've never been I've never seen I know, you've seen

1:32:55.280 --> 1:32:59.000
<v Speaker 1>any seen anything that I would even call a holes call. Yeah,

1:32:59.360 --> 1:33:01.840
<v Speaker 1>which is it's like a two tiered thing. It's like

1:33:02.040 --> 1:33:05.680
<v Speaker 1>it shouldn't go off, but then there's sort of if

1:33:05.760 --> 1:33:08.360
<v Speaker 1>it does, what are you doing? When I review the

1:33:08.400 --> 1:33:11.479
<v Speaker 1>times I've seen accidental discharge, I look and I'm like,

1:33:13.320 --> 1:33:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say the system, you know, I'm

1:33:15.200 --> 1:33:19.080
<v Speaker 1>reluctant to say the system worked, but the system worked,

1:33:19.800 --> 1:33:23.720
<v Speaker 1>and that people were conscious of what they were where

1:33:23.760 --> 1:33:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the muzzle was. Yeah, I mean what they're doing. All

1:33:26.360 --> 1:33:28.120
<v Speaker 1>you need to do is combine those two slip ups.

1:33:28.160 --> 1:33:32.080
<v Speaker 1>So you combine the muzzle control, you make that mistake

1:33:32.640 --> 1:33:35.840
<v Speaker 1>and then the handling mistake. And it's when those two things,

1:33:36.360 --> 1:33:40.080
<v Speaker 1>like in those split seconds and those two things line up,

1:33:40.760 --> 1:33:43.400
<v Speaker 1>is when you have trouble. But I can spend days.

1:33:44.040 --> 1:33:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I might spend days out hunting with a couple of

1:33:47.439 --> 1:33:51.960
<v Speaker 1>friends and reviewing it my mind, if they're seasoned people

1:33:52.439 --> 1:33:56.000
<v Speaker 1>reviewing my mind. There was never a moment when had

1:33:56.080 --> 1:33:59.680
<v Speaker 1>a gun had sort of like God made a gun

1:33:59.760 --> 1:34:01.640
<v Speaker 1>go off. There's never a moment when it would have

1:34:01.680 --> 1:34:04.479
<v Speaker 1>struck somebody because people are being very conscious about what

1:34:04.520 --> 1:34:07.360
<v Speaker 1>they're doing and where they're pointing. Yeah, so it's like like,

1:34:07.840 --> 1:34:10.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, negligent discharge, accidental just you know in the

1:34:10.280 --> 1:34:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Marines are it's like this thing like there's no such

1:34:12.120 --> 1:34:14.960
<v Speaker 1>thing as a negligent discharge or how's it going. No,

1:34:15.320 --> 1:34:17.679
<v Speaker 1>there's no such thing as an accidental discharge. It's always

1:34:17.680 --> 1:34:22.880
<v Speaker 1>a negligent negligent discharge. So it's scary as hell. But

1:34:23.000 --> 1:34:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I do all think like you're like, that was close,

1:34:25.280 --> 1:34:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, but thankfully it wasn't closed because the

1:34:27.880 --> 1:34:31.519
<v Speaker 1>other components of safety thankfully were in place. I'm in

1:34:31.600 --> 1:34:35.120
<v Speaker 1>no way excusing that happening, but I've just seen it happen. Now,

1:34:35.120 --> 1:34:38.000
<v Speaker 1>how many times have you seen to happen? Not that many,

1:34:38.080 --> 1:34:41.559
<v Speaker 1>but not a dozen. No, I don't know handful. Yeah,

1:34:43.080 --> 1:34:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I've seen you see it happen. That's right. Yeah, does

1:34:50.479 --> 1:34:55.080
<v Speaker 1>that mean you did it? I think in the beginning,

1:34:55.080 --> 1:34:56.479
<v Speaker 1>I think it was very hard for me to understand

1:34:56.520 --> 1:34:59.880
<v Speaker 1>when there was a um a shell in the chain,

1:35:00.880 --> 1:35:03.920
<v Speaker 1>like if you if you've cycled everything out and once

1:35:04.000 --> 1:35:05.559
<v Speaker 1>like an idiot, I was like, I think I got

1:35:05.600 --> 1:35:08.080
<v Speaker 1>them all and I pointed up to shoot the shotgun

1:35:08.200 --> 1:35:09.920
<v Speaker 1>and boom, and I was like, oh no, I didn't.

1:35:09.960 --> 1:35:13.080
<v Speaker 1>There was one in there. You know. MO lost his

1:35:13.120 --> 1:35:15.439
<v Speaker 1>ship again, which he should have. But then after that

1:35:15.520 --> 1:35:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I took a hunter safety. Of course, I was like,

1:35:17.720 --> 1:35:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I need to learn to rain this ship in. I'll

1:35:20.120 --> 1:35:23.680
<v Speaker 1>tell you hot to um what if this is for Mo?

1:35:24.760 --> 1:35:28.840
<v Speaker 1>The next time you start out a person, MO, give

1:35:28.880 --> 1:35:33.840
<v Speaker 1>him a break open gun. Oh like a yeah, my

1:35:34.000 --> 1:35:37.040
<v Speaker 1>little boy he now has his own four ten. Yeah

1:35:37.240 --> 1:35:39.200
<v Speaker 1>he's nine. I'm gonna pretend like I know what a

1:35:39.240 --> 1:35:43.320
<v Speaker 1>four ten is. But yeah, so it's like the smallest shotgun. Okay,

1:35:43.360 --> 1:35:45.720
<v Speaker 1>got it. So I'll let me tell you a couple

1:35:45.760 --> 1:35:51.160
<v Speaker 1>of little tips tips here. You know gauge is right, yes, okay, yes, okay,

1:35:51.360 --> 1:35:57.080
<v Speaker 1>twelve gauge. Yes, we've covered this extensively. I do, yes, yes,

1:35:57.160 --> 1:35:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I I keep learning and then I sort of forget.

1:35:59.160 --> 1:36:03.040
<v Speaker 1>But I kind of know, Phil, you're asking for my

1:36:03.200 --> 1:36:04.559
<v Speaker 1>if I know what a toll gauges. I just want

1:36:04.600 --> 1:36:05.880
<v Speaker 1>someone to say no so I can tell, because I

1:36:05.960 --> 1:36:07.640
<v Speaker 1>like telling you. Okay, tell it. No, no, No, I

1:36:07.720 --> 1:36:12.439
<v Speaker 1>don't twelve gauge. You take that diameter, the barrel diameter,

1:36:13.760 --> 1:36:18.479
<v Speaker 1>twelve lead spheres that size make up a pound. Twelve

1:36:18.720 --> 1:36:22.400
<v Speaker 1>leads spheres that there is a twelve gage, twenty gauge.

1:36:22.439 --> 1:36:25.280
<v Speaker 1>It takes ten lead spheres that size to make a pound.

1:36:26.040 --> 1:36:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Four ten sorry, yeah, four ten is the only is

1:36:31.000 --> 1:36:33.280
<v Speaker 1>a four ten is an exception to this to the

1:36:33.360 --> 1:36:36.960
<v Speaker 1>gauge system. So it would be like, you know, just

1:36:37.120 --> 1:36:40.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight not common, but there are twenty eight gauge,

1:36:41.400 --> 1:36:44.519
<v Speaker 1>sixteen gauge, twelve gauge. When you buy shrimp from a

1:36:44.560 --> 1:36:47.320
<v Speaker 1>grocery store, they measure it the same way too. Engages. Well,

1:36:47.320 --> 1:36:51.400
<v Speaker 1>it's how many how many shrimp. Yeah, shrimp count so

1:36:51.640 --> 1:36:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you know. Um yeah, great, smaller the number, the bigger

1:36:54.840 --> 1:36:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the shrimp. There you go. Uh, A four ten is

1:36:58.160 --> 1:37:01.240
<v Speaker 1>like point four one oh of an inch diameter shotgun.

1:37:01.320 --> 1:37:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Got it. Uh. If someone were to say to you,

1:37:04.640 --> 1:37:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get a fifty gage shotgun and shoot you,

1:37:07.840 --> 1:37:10.519
<v Speaker 1>that's a very small shotgun, right, that would be a

1:37:10.560 --> 1:37:13.639
<v Speaker 1>baby gun. Um. We should get MO on the phone

1:37:13.680 --> 1:37:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and ask him why he didn't give me that guy.

1:37:15.439 --> 1:37:17.960
<v Speaker 1>But I'm just just just a hot safety tip for listeners.

1:37:18.600 --> 1:37:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I bought my nine year old a four ten that

1:37:22.160 --> 1:37:26.080
<v Speaker 1>just breaks open. There's no like wondering what's going on.

1:37:26.439 --> 1:37:30.960
<v Speaker 1>It's perfect. When he approaches people, I'm like, open that

1:37:31.120 --> 1:37:35.800
<v Speaker 1>thing up. Click, it's open, Like anyone can see what's

1:37:35.840 --> 1:37:39.200
<v Speaker 1>happening when you open it and look, there's no way

1:37:39.280 --> 1:37:42.960
<v Speaker 1>to be confused about whether this thing's loaded not loaded?

1:37:43.240 --> 1:37:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Is there still one in there? It just is a

1:37:45.880 --> 1:37:48.880
<v Speaker 1>great way to start people out. Yeah, there's a button

1:37:48.920 --> 1:37:51.400
<v Speaker 1>you hit and it hinges open and it's for the

1:37:51.439 --> 1:37:55.360
<v Speaker 1>whole world to see what is happening inside that shotgun. Perfect. Yeah,

1:37:55.560 --> 1:38:00.040
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a lot. Even when I've get him like

1:38:00.080 --> 1:38:02.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bolt action twenty two of the magazine. In it,

1:38:02.800 --> 1:38:05.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm very paranoid about like what he's doing, and he,

1:38:06.200 --> 1:38:10.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, like he opens it clos I'm like, whoa, stop,

1:38:11.280 --> 1:38:13.320
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing? And I need to look? Did

1:38:13.360 --> 1:38:16.360
<v Speaker 1>he like inadvertently rack one. You know, it's funny. As

1:38:16.400 --> 1:38:20.280
<v Speaker 1>someone who didn't grow up hunting, I'm a little like

1:38:21.320 --> 1:38:24.000
<v Speaker 1>like kids and guns. It's still I think gives me

1:38:24.040 --> 1:38:29.720
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of it. Should Yeah, you know, I

1:38:29.840 --> 1:38:32.080
<v Speaker 1>was just shooting with my oldest this weekend and it's

1:38:32.160 --> 1:38:38.240

<v Speaker 1>and kill your brother. Yeah. Wow, you break it down

1:38:50.600 --> 1:38:52.880
<v Speaker 1>like that. Yeah. I try to make it like like

1:38:53.040 --> 1:38:55.120
<v Speaker 1>the gravity of what we're I don't want them to

1:38:55.160 --> 1:38:58.320

<v Speaker 1>just like you're gonna It's like it's not like as

1:39:13.360 --> 1:39:16.160

1:39:41.479 --> 1:39:46.639
<v Speaker 1>to put that family. It's good to be in the family.

1:39:46.760 --> 1:39:48.920
<v Speaker 1>And it's good to be in the family. Uh, and

1:39:58.680 --> 1:40:01.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, fun Mo man, this is about most killing

1:40:02.000 --> 1:40:04.080
<v Speaker 1>a fake sheep so he could get a fake title

1:40:06.120 --> 1:40:09.920
<v Speaker 1>and you're just a hard Yeah. He's living it only

1:40:09.960 --> 1:40:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's easy for him. I'm in West Hollywood, man,

1:40:12.040 --> 1:40:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm in the trenches. So run down, run down for folks, Like,

1:40:16.479 --> 1:40:18.960
<v Speaker 1>what's what's the best way how do people go take

1:40:19.040 --> 1:40:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you in? Yes, your Instagram is stand Up Dan, Stand

1:40:22.320 --> 1:40:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Up Dan. Yeah, it's like no one can spell Dana dude.

1:40:26.360 --> 1:40:28.519
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, I need to need to shore

1:40:28.560 --> 1:40:31.559
<v Speaker 1>this up. So Instagram at stand up Dan twitters stand

1:40:31.640 --> 1:40:33.880
<v Speaker 1>up Dan as well. Are you active on Twitter? Pretty active?

1:40:34.960 --> 1:40:39.200
<v Speaker 1>You do you engage in like Twitter outrage about someone's tweet? No, dude,

1:40:39.200 --> 1:40:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I stay out of that. That to me is more

1:40:41.920 --> 1:40:45.400
<v Speaker 1>as a comedian. I'm like seeing like like comedians you know,

1:40:45.520 --> 1:40:48.479
<v Speaker 1>don't host shows now because they wrote a tweet twenty

1:40:48.560 --> 1:40:50.600
<v Speaker 1>years ago and they bring it back. I'm like, my

1:40:50.760 --> 1:40:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Twitter is pretty anemic. Um, which again is a bummer

1:40:54.439 --> 1:40:56.479
<v Speaker 1>that has to yeah, because you gotta control your impulse

1:40:56.520 --> 1:40:58.439
<v Speaker 1>to make like it. You're like, how's that funny? I'll

1:40:58.439 --> 1:41:01.439
<v Speaker 1>just put it up decades from now, I'll lose a job.

1:41:01.720 --> 1:41:04.639
<v Speaker 1>Remember when Dance said that? Well again testament to why

1:41:04.760 --> 1:41:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Rogan has paved such a great, you know, path for

1:41:07.920 --> 1:41:10.759
<v Speaker 1>himself because he doesn't it doesn't matter to him because

1:41:10.800 --> 1:41:15.559
<v Speaker 1>he's self generated, so he doesn't Yeah, and he um,

1:41:17.720 --> 1:41:23.840
<v Speaker 1>he gives all sides of everything a voice are also

1:41:24.600 --> 1:41:27.120
<v Speaker 1>articulates all sides of everything in a way that makes

1:41:27.240 --> 1:41:30.960
<v Speaker 1>everyone look like a jackass. And so it's just I

1:41:31.080 --> 1:41:34.040
<v Speaker 1>love him because he's just like he's like so curious,

1:41:34.720 --> 1:41:37.320
<v Speaker 1>He's so curious, But I think sometimes he can just

1:41:37.400 --> 1:41:40.120
<v Speaker 1>be convinced of anything, Like I feel like a flat

1:41:40.200 --> 1:41:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Arthur can come on there and he's like really, yeah, okay,

1:41:43.800 --> 1:41:46.439
<v Speaker 1>I'll look into that to open mind a little bit.

1:41:47.479 --> 1:41:49.439
<v Speaker 1>But but I think it's more it's probably just his

1:41:49.520 --> 1:41:53.439
<v Speaker 1>style of interview, which it gets people comfortable to open up. Um.

1:41:53.920 --> 1:41:56.200
<v Speaker 1>But yeah. And then my food podcast, my new it's

1:41:56.200 --> 1:41:59.000
