1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: The Michael Berry Show, Netton. Are you an ac DC fan?

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Am I a what ac DC fan? Uh?

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: Don't particularly care for it, but I'll listen to it.

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: How about AC Delco?

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that'll work all right.

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: So the idea behind this cannon feeder is that the

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: number one, if you had to say, the number one

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: selling point is zero maintenance or zero work because of

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: the size and kind of self executing nature of it.

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: Yes, Sir Michael, this feeder shoots two pounds of corn

11
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: every time it shoots.

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, explain this to me, like I'm six years old.

13
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: How does it gather a packet of corn to send

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: it out? What's the mechanism inside that's gathering that amount

15
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: of corn.

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: It's strictly gravity fed. Then my hopper in the feeder

17
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: goes to the all the way to the front, so

18
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 2: it's gravity fed. Every time it goes off, it fills

19
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: the barrel back up. I have a two by three

20
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: barrel in this on this theater. And when I say barrel,

21
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: it is a it's just like a potato gun. Every

22
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: time it shoots, two pounds of corn goes back into

23
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: the barrel and it's ready to shoot again.

24
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: Now, Here's what I don't understand. Okay, the barrel extends

25
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: out of the.

26
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: Box, yes, sir, nineteen inches.

27
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: You're not filling up the barrel outside the box, no, sure,

28
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: only inside, yes, all right. And then it creates a seal,

29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: and then that's with that seal, and the compression is

30
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: shooting it out, yes, sir.

31
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: At the end of the barrel, there is a inch

32
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: and a half annoyeds valve that's connected to an air tank,

33
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: a two gallon air tank. So the compressor fills the

34
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: air tank up within old about fifty eight seconds. It'll

35
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 2: fill it up to eighty five to ninety pounds. As

36
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: soon as it does, it activates the soellinoid valve industrial

37
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: solinoid valve, and it fires, and when it fires, it

38
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: shoots the corn out anywhere from forty to fifty yards

39
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: at eighty to ninety pounds. You can turn this feeder

40
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: up higher. I don't recommend it just for safety reasons. Michael,

41
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: are you Are you familiar with what a potato gun

42
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: could do?

43
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: Is that the reason why.

44
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: I put all three of my boys in front of

45
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 2: the cannon feeder and shot it, and it didn't hurt

46
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 2: any any one of them.

47
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: So did you have to talk them into that or

48
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: did they did? They willingly agree because I mean what if.

49
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: They had whether dad does and two? Okay, but no,

50
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: it will not hurt you. Now, if you're looking down

51
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: the barrel and it goes off, it would it would

52
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: probably pay for you pretty good.

53
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: Do you have a particular brand of corn you use?

54
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: No? Sure, no, sure, But you can fill this feeder

55
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: up with six hundred and fifty pounds of corn, shoot

56
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: two pounds a day or four pounds a day, two feedings,

57
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: one in the morning, one in the afternoon. It will

58
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: last you approximately one hundred and sixty three days.

59
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: Approximately one hundred and sixty three days, Yes, sir, that's

60
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: very specific, then't.

61
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: Yes, sir?

62
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: So so you've got to go out twice a year

63
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: and refill this thing, that's correct. So will you go

64
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: back out twice a year you refilling the corn? And

65
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: then you're what else the solar panel? Like, what other

66
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: do we have it?

67
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: We have a twenty watt solar panel on it. Yeah,

68
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: we have a charger control, solar charger control for our

69
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: battery to maintain it correctly, just not hooking up a

70
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: solar panel to a battery like most feeders do. We

71
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: have a solar charger control so it's not overcharging or

72
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: under charge. It's just a straight twelve volt battery eighteen

73
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: half hours. What I use. It's the simplest feeder on

74
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: the market. You set your timer for one second. All

75
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: your timer is doing when it comes on, it's shooting

76
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 2: seven o'clock in the morning. You said it for one second.

77
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: It tells the compressor to come on. The compressor fills

78
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 2: the air tank up to wherever you have to found

79
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: it set at.

80
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: How broad is the area that the corn is being

81
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: dispensed across?

82
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: Okay, it'll shoot it out anywhere from forty to fifty

83
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: yards sixty foot area.

84
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: How come you use yards for the distance it shoots it,

85
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: but foot for the distance of cover?

86
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: Just did We were with Duck Dynasty and Austin Buck

87
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: Commanders in Austin, Texas and we were shooting it in

88
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: a parking lot and we had to take measure that

89
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: we were measuring it with. That's just what we came

90
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: up with. Well, it is a great aquatic.

91
00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: Feed But when you measured the distance that shot the

92
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: corn and you look down, what did it measure the distance.

93
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: At the in between east kernel.

94
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: No, the distance from where from the barrel to where

95
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: it landed like a shot.

96
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 2: Put about fifty yards.

97
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: So it measured it in yards. Okay. And then when

98
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: you measure where the first corn hit and where the

99
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: furthest corn had gone, what did it measure there?

100
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: We didn't. We didn't measure that. But you said measure that.

101
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: You said that was about twenty feet or twenty foot? No,

102
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: because that would be the spread right right.

103
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: The spread is sixty feet in the distance is forty

104
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: to fifty yards.

105
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: How many did you have on your property?

106
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 2: Oh? One, two, three, four right now?

Speaker 1: But they're very good. It's like a feed store and

162
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: they have a lot of outdoor stuff. But they're very

163
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: good at letting people. I don't know if it's a

164
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: consignment system or how they do it, but they're very

165
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: good at letting people put their deals there. I went

166
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: to a shot show two years ago and discovered this

167
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: deer stand that looks like a stump, looks like a tree,

168
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: and you get in it and it's perfectly sealed. It's

169
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: got good gaskets on it, and it's a plastic material,

170
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: but it's insulated, so you can get in there and

171
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: you could put a you know, probably your own body

172
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: heat would would be enough unless it was really cold.

173
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: But it has these little windows that operate and the

174
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: real precision machine and you can open the window. You

175
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: know a lot of these feeders, a lot of these

176
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: deer stands. You open the window and you can scare

177
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: everything off. So you have to keep it open, which

178
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: means you have to keep it so quiet. And I

179
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: don't know if you could pull it off. I'd have

180
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: to have homes or one of my deer hunting buddies

181
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: tell me if you could pull us off. But it's

182
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: so quiet to open that window. And I thought, I

183
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: was so impressed with it, But so I asked them

184
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: who carried it, and we came back and the only

185
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: people in it's a Sanatone company that makes it. But

186
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: they said the only people that carried it was this

187
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: place on uh On. I I was just thinking, if

188
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: you could get somebody to put it out where people

189
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: could see it right right.

190
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: Uh We we've been showing them at the uh Texas

191
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: Trophy Extra Hunting extravagance in Houston, Fort Worth, San Antone.

192
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: We uh Dallas Support Club. We've made that and had

193
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: a great reception in both of them. We're going to MacAllen.

194
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: We'll be headed to uh uh New Orleans to the

Speaker 2: uh q m A uh Texas or Quality Management and

196
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: their Association. I believe uh we'll be making that. Doctor

00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: Kroll uh has has got us arranged with that, which

198
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 2: is been real well, uh we just had We've had

00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: great reception everywhere we went.

200
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: But are they buying it? Are they buying it? Then?

201
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, we're just we Michael, We're changed. We're

202
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: trying to change a whole industry. This is the newest

203
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: theater out there. It's it's it's it's been spinners spinner

204
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: spinners since the nineteen fifty and like, well, it's it's great.

205
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 2: But you gotta hang them high. You gotta mudhole and

206
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: you gotta then you got to do that. You gotta

207
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: walk through, you gotta climb up, or you gotta mindsets

208
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: on the ground. I have a skid.

209
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like to set it up you know right there,

210
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, right above you those spinners. I mean it's worked,

211
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: but maybe this is.

212
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: Better well, you gotta see this, so I gotta I

213
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: gotta get you on.

214
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you that.

215
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: Let me tell you this. The deer you are not

216
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 2: feeding around a feeder. You can hide this feeder. You

217
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: can set it off the right away, Michael, and shoot

218
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: it back down you right away. Your deer will come

219
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 2: to this feeder a lot better because they're not around

220
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: they're not around a feeder. If you need to, you

221
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: can shoot it into the pin a feed pin if

222
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: you need to.

223
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: Now, that's an interesting concept.

224
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 2: If they're not underneath that feeder, they're not scared of it.

225
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 2: You know.

226
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: I wonder about the applications outside of hunting. Shooting into

227
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: a pin is an interesting concept for people that are

228
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: that are pen raising animals. You said you you were

229
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: talking about putting it on a lake or a pond.

230
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: Ramon was wondering, and I don't know if you've tried

231
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: this yet. If you can set it up and fill

232
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: it full of peanuts like during football at the house

233
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,479
Speaker 1: and shoot peanuts out, have you tried that any.

234
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 2: We have one man that bought our feeder.

235
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me ask you so much, Michael.

236
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: Are you are you familiar with what a potato gun

237
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: could do.

238
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: Could we put peanuts in it?

239
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: You could put peanuts in it. You can put anything

240
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: in it. Just grab, he said. And for your response

241
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: about what a potato gun can do, Uh, it's it's

242
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: not shooting a mask like a piece of potato is

243
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: not coming out of there with that greater force. Uh.

244
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: The compressor comes on, it gives you full warning what's

245
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: fixed to happen. I know what corn can do coming

246
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: out of the spinner feeder. If you're sitting there looking

247
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: at the spinner feeder, I'm.

248
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: Not gonna put my kids in front of it and

249
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: test whether it works or not.

250
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: No, I know what a weed eater or do if

251
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: you hit it, hit your toe with.

252
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: This, yeah, and then you're always You remember when the

253
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: weed eaters first came out, and you spent more time

254
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: refeeding the line than you did actually cut. It was

255
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: easier to just get down with your hands and pluck

256
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: the monkey grass than it was to use the the

257
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: weed eater. And it was that orange string and you'd

258
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: have to keep threading it through that the whole time,

259
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: and then firing that thing up. That was an art

260
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: to getting that thing fired up. Am I right? I

261
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: heard that because it would flood. Didn't Hold on just

262
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: a minute. I feel like you're trying to sell me

263
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: on it. You're not trying to sell me on it, right, No, okay,

264
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on.

265
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: Michael, Are you are you familiar with what a potato

266
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: gun could do?

267
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: The Michael Berry Show continues.

268
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: Are you are you familiar with what a potato gun

269
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: could do?

270
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: Didn't do you just really like potato guns?

271
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: Uh? No, sir, not at all. Did you use the

272
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: same concept as a potato gun.

273
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: It's the last time you shot a potato gun?

274
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: Oh lord, I couldn't tell you that.

275
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: Do you think you have more recently shot a potato

276
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: gun or got a straight razor shave?

277
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: Probably shot a potato gun, because that was back in

278
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: seventy six. I got a straight razor.

279
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: I think you're overdue. Is that you in the picture

280
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: with the white beard? Yes, sir, Oh you'd love a

281
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: straight razor shave at this point.

282
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: I don't no longer have a beard that was just

283
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: for go hunting out in West Texas.

284
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need that.

285
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: So now, this this feeder, when you see it and

286
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: see the concept and how it works, it sells itself.

287
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: It sells itself. People. It weighs two ten.

288
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: Empty and you can put it in the back of

289
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: a truck. What are the what are the specs? What

290
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: is the.

291
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 2: Elect fifty six inches wide where it sets in your

292
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: truck and it's around fifty fifty four inches tall? Okay,

293
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: but the the feeder sells itself. I don't have to

294
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: sell the feeder when people see it at these shows,

295
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: and uh, when we introduce it, the people they just

296
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 2: say it it's so simple. Why why hadn't I thought

297
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: of that? And uh, it's like I said, it sells itself.

298
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: I don't have to sell it. It sells itself. Now

299
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: it's an investment. It's sixteen hundred dollars. But you're how

300
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: much was the deer blind that you said you liked?

301
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: More thousand more than that, so you.

302
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: Invest it's an investment.

303
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: Well, if I told you what I've spent on night

304
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: vision scopes, if I told you what I've been spent

305
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: on night vision binoculars, I told you what I've spent

306
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: on night lights around the feeder, if I told you

307
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: what I spent on John Deere gators, then no.

308
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: But here here's the deal, Michael, you go out and

309
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 2: you spend three four thousand, five thousand dollars on a

310
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 2: deer lease, You buy you an ATV for eleven thousand,

311
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: You buy you a camper to stay in it's for

312
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 2: another twenty five thirty thousand dollars, and you buy you

313
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: a deer blind that costs five thousand dollars. Why wouldn't

314
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: you want a deer feeder that worked consistently, sits on

315
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: the ground, easy to fill, reliable, has a two year

316
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: warranty on it. No tunes, no hogs, no rain can

317
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: bother it.

318
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: I don't feel like it's selling itself right now.

319
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: I mean it's so easy.

320
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: How far off the ground does it sit.

321
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: Without the skid? We offer a skid that you can

322
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 2: put it on. It says with the skid it's around

323
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: sixty four inches tall.

324
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 1: No, no, But without the skid it literally sits on

325
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: the ground right, there's no legs.

326
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 2: It sits off the ground around twelve inches with the legs. Now,

327
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: we have a feeder that we I'll be taking up

328
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 2: to Houston this week to the manufacturer. He will be

329
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 2: mounting one on a trailer. How many have you ever

330
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 2: seen that can sit on a trailer that can be mobile.

331
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: You mean you can pull it around on a four wheeler.

332
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, o our truck. This feeder here, you can

333
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 2: sit underneath your deer blind and it will put corn

334
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: out in front of your deer feeder. I mean you're

335
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: sitting area your deer blind.

336
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: You mean it was shoot it over your head?

337
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: It little shoot you straight out in front of you.

338
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: It's a great bow blind.

339
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: Huh.

340
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 2: Boat feeder for hunting.

341
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: When I go out to Chapel Hill or Brenham or

342
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: Carmeene or round Top, I go two ninety out of

343
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: Houston right, and as I'm headed out, I go around

344
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: this curve. I guess it's probably somewhere when I'm in

345
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: Waller County, And on the right is a place kind

346
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: of sat back. It's just a warehouse and a bunch

347
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: of feeder's called Ultimatic or something like that. Are you

348
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: familiar with them?

349
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 2: Yes?

350
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: Are they any good?

351
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: All the theaters are good. Your spinners though, well, I

352
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: quit using the spinner when I invented this.

353
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: Do you have a patent on this?

354
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 2: Yes?

355
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: If you don't, you need If you don't, I know

356
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: some good intellectual property lawyers, because I would really like

357
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: to see you do well off this, do you know?

358
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: The guy that made the uh super soaker was No,

359
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: it's it's the deal that you you you fill it

360
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: full of water and you pool and then you know,

361
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: you can run around shooting each other. I saw an

362
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: Inventor's program on him. He was a black guy that

363
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: worked at a at a company like Mattel or I

364
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: can't remember where he were, but he took the super soaker. No,

365
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: he didn't work at montel He worked at let's just

366
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: say whatever, and I think he had an engineering degree.

367
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: Really smart guy, and he had this prototype that did

368
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: not look very attractive. But the point was it was

369
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: a very very simple, like yours, very simple technology that

370
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: nobody thought of and was not it wasn't so easy

371
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: to replicate. And he took it to Mattel or Hasbro

372
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: or one of those companies, and they turned him down,

373
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: and he came back, and he came back, and then

374
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: finally somebody took a chance on it. Nobody believed it

375
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: would take off, and it did, and he's made the

376
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: product has sold hundreds of millions, and he's made say,

377
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars off of this very simple technology that's

378
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, nothing advanced, and I guess technically anybody could

379
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: make one because his first one he used just household products.

380
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: But I don't think the fact that it's simple makes

381
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: it any less marketable or profitable. H ross Bro used

382
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: to say the entrepreneur he most admired, or the inventor

383
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: he most admired, was a guy who came up with

384
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: the twist tie. You remember the green twist tie, because

385
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: he said, literally, anybody could have come up with that,

386
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: and that guy became a billionaire off of something that

387
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: every one of us should have been able to. But

388
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: it's also scalable everybody. I mean, it's scalable, and it's uh,

389
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: it has virality. Everybody needs one. But I don't know

390
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: that everybody needs or affords what you have, But I

391
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of people that would well.

392
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: Like you said, the concept is simple. Uh, it's very reliable,

393
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 2: which is very reliable. It shoots that their slice amount

394
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: of corn, whereas your spinner feeder you unless you catch

395
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: it in a bucket and weigh it, you had no

396
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 2: idea what what you're.

397
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: Putting out, what if you were to put out could

398
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: put in there? You know, this warfare and based product you.

399
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 2: Could put out and like I said, I have one

400
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: guy that's feeding that acrons. You can put protein in this.

401
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: Well, you didn't tell me, it's not it's not a

402
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 1: like I said. You didn't tell me about the acrons

403
00:23:54,800 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: until just now. Oh yeah, hold on, hold on. He's

404
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: going to introduce akrons an hour into the interview.

405
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: Michael are you are you for man? Do with what

406
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 2: a potato gun could do?

Speaker 2: This is more? We had people in Dallas when we

432
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: went back this year for the second show. They they

433
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: basically wanted to see if we were still there.

434
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, people in Dallas don't know anything.

435
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:55,639

00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if you want to sell to them,

437
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: that's not you. They don't know anything. I'd rather you

438
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: sell to uh Houston, San Antono in South Texas and

439
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: just draw a line maybe about Huntsville and tell everybody

440
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: north of that. Maybe maybe go up to Crockett and

441
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: then be we're not even gonna sell to y'all, you know,

442
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: just for a little while, just to aggravate them, you know,

443
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: wet their appetite.

444
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: Yes, sure, but we're we're in Kansas. Uh, we have

445
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: feeders in Kansas. We're working with a guy and uh

446
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 2: it once am out of Michigan. Oh uh, we have

447
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 2: a man out of Florida that we were in contact

448
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: with is wanting them down in Florida.

449
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: Uh, we got to get a retail location. Somebody's got

450
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: to carry them. Did you did you ever think about

451
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: what the name of that place was that I can't

452
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: think of. They got a green sign. It's on I

453
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: ten as you're heading out of Houston, and it's on

454
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: the right hand side, so that would be what the

455
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: north side, and it's something like field Housings or klous Housings.

456
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: And they have a store there. And then if you

457
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: go up a little further about forty miles, they've got

458
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: an old store at the at the train track because

459
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: I buy my feed there sometimes. And you pull right

460
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: up to these two big bay doors. What is that right,

461
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: Klass houses. But they got great The reason I say

462
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: it is they got good uh it tend frontage and

463
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: so that stuff company. I bet you they put that

464
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: when they're on consignment because they were selling it was

465
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: the it was the showroom piece. And and you drive

466
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: by and you can see it right.

467
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 2: There, Yes, sir, Well, like I said, Michael, we're just

00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 2: of our out of our family barn here in Bay City,

472
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 2: our office, and like I said, we're just trying to

473
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: trying to ease into this thing.

474
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: Are you having fun?

475
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: Yes, sir? Yes?

476
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: What's been the most What's been the most fun about

477
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: being a manufacturer and having a product like this because

478
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: I get the impression you are enjoying it, and that

479
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 1: makes me happy.

480
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 2: It really is the most fun I've had is when

481
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 2: people see it, and when I say, see it. We

482
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: have a show box at the show's where we can

483
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 2: shoot this theater off, where we can where where we

484
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: can activate this theater and shoot two bounds of corn

485
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 2: and show people how it works. Uh, there's no other

486
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,239
Speaker 2: feeder that can do that. We we we can. We

487
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: can show it right there. The biggest thing, the enjoyment

488
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: out of it is when people see it and they go, well,

489
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 2: why didn't I think of that?

490
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: Right? It has to be rewarding that you solved a

491
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: problem that you had and then you realize you solved

492
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: it better than other people. And other people are impressed

493
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: with your ingenuity. I mean, that's a pretty that's a

494
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: pretty neat deal.

495
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 2: It is that that gives me more enjoyed enjoyment than anything.

496
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: Hey, I don't want to complicate this too much, but

497
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: what if we was to put wheels on it, okay,

498
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: and the wheels would only be on the back side,

499
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: so it'd be like a Dolly and he would have

500
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: two handles, and then one person could just lean it back,

501
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: and when you lean it back, you'd lift those legs off,

502
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: and then you'd have the wheels, good quality Dolly wheels, right,

503
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: rubber wheels, and you'd be able to move it around

504
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: like one person. Maybe not on rough terrain, but you

505
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: know in certain like at a at a at a

506
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: lake or whatever, on a deck, you'd be able to

507
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: move it and spin it real easy.

508
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 2: You could do that. You could do that our skid

509
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: that put it on, you can you can mount this

510
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: feeder on our skid and look on too with a

511
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 2: full wheeler and pull it anywhere you want to.

512
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: Oh, that's fair, it says cannon feeder feeder is now

513
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: available original long range and big pellet.

514
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: Right. Okay, we did offer a a smaller version of

515
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: the of the feeder.

516
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: But oh, Steinhauser's, it's called Steinhauser's. Didn't.

517
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: Okay, I know who you're talking about. Yeah, I have

518
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: not touched base with them.

519
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: Okay.

520
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 2: We haven't gone out and tried to get descripts or anything.

521
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 2: We're just basically setting them, setting them off our website.

522
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 2: I like it right now.

523
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: Now, how are you getting it to people? You don't

524
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: just drop ship a two hundred and ten pound feet Well.

525
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: If we took seven of them to a man out

526
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: in concam now, if you'll buy like seven of them,

527
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 2: we'll deliver.

528
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't Buddy Jimmerson, wasn't.

529
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: No, No, I forget the man's name.

530
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: It's a good website. Whoever did your website? They did.

531
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: It's real clean, a lot of negative space, easy to read,

532
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: not cluttered, very informative. Whoever did your website you should.

533
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm very I'm critical of people's websites. This is a

534
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: real good website. Can you can you hold? Then? Can

535
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: you hold for man? All right?

536
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: Hold Michael? Are you are you familiar with what a

537
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 2: potato gun could do?

538
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: Guitars, cigars and a few thoughts from Bizarre Denton Licener

539
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: is the owner of Cannon Feeder. One of the things

540
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: that a number of people have emailed or tweeted or

541
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: asked about was why you would want to throw the

542
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: feed away from the feeder.

543
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: Well, your deer in your game comes to your your

544
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: your feed a lot better because they're not spooped from

545
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 2: the feeder or shy about coming up. Your bigger bucks

546
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 2: will want to come up because there's nothing around. It's

547
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: like corning a right away. You can hide this feeder

548
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 2: off the side and put it back into the right

549
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: of way. They're not feeding around your feeder, so they're

550
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 2: not shy.

551
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: And I guess, so how do you keep the water

552
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: with that? Canon looks like it's at about a not

553
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: quite not quite free angle, all right, So is that

554
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: how you keep the rain out?

555
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: Well, that in the bottom of the barrel underneath it

556
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: is slotted, so if there's any water that goes in,

557
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 2: it comes right.

558
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: Back out, so it'll be down at the bottom of

559
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: the barrel.

560
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 2: Yes, sir. And plus that is a air water sell

561
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 2: aoid valve. It it will blow the water out every

562
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: time it shooes. We have had zero problems with water

563
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 2: or range.

564
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: What was the biggest problem you encountered when on the

565
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: first first go round.

566
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 2: The biggest problem that I encountered, Like.

567
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: What was the biggest challenge that you had to you

568
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: had to overcome once you once you put it out

569
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: in the field.

570
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: Well, once the proto, the first proto type was mounting

571
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 2: the barrel at the correct angle.

572
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: What did you You did it too high at first?

573
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 2: Yes, sir?

574
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: And that let water down in there?

575
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 2: Or what was the problems? It put too much feed

576
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: in there too quickly, and it became a problem. But

577
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: once we got the angle of the poe figured out

578
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 2: by an engineer, and the angle of the poe is

579
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 2: what clean corn will flow at, or any feeded or

580
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 2: any product.

581
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought that people have money.

582
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: No, okay, It's similar to what an hour glass is.

583
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: When the sand comes out, it mounds up, but will

584
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 2: keep flowing.

585
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: So go the days of our lives. So you you

586
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: finished the first one of these in January of fourteen, Yes, sir?

587
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: Do you think more people are going to use it?

588
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 2: On? Off, going off six times at the at our ranch?

589
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: Well, how about this? So this this compressor, I mean this,

590
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: I don't know what you call it, Like the little

591
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: pistols they shoot using that gas chamber. How long does

592
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: that gas chamber last?

593
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 2: Well, there's no, it doesn't retain any air. The timer

594
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 2: tells the compressor to come on, and once it builds

595
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 2: the air up in the air tank and puts the

596
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 2: corn out, your whole system's dead until the next time

597
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 2: the timer tells it to feed. Okay, it comes on.

598
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 2: So there's no air in your tank. It takes approximately

599
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: fifty eight seconds to build up the air once the

600
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: compressor comes on. Approximately, yes, sir, depending on where you

601
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: have the pressure set. You can set this pressure down

602
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 2: to forty pounds or you can set it up to

603
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 2: ninety pounds, just depending on how much pressure you put

604
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 2: in the tank, how long your compressor runs.

605
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: I called beaver Applan during the break that owns BUCkies,

606
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: and I texted him and I left him a message.

607
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: So if they call, I want my commission on this still. Okay, okay,

608
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 1: can you imagine? Well, I guess, I mean really, people

609
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: have to see it work in order. They can't just

610
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: look at it to appreciate it. They got to watch

611
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: it work.

612
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 2: So what do you have?

613
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: You have like a netting that when you do this

614
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: at shows? So you can show people.

615
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: I have a box with plexiglass on each side that

616
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 2: we slide over that barrel and then we can shoot

617
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 2: the corn into the to the box to show people.

618
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 2: It's just very simple, Michael. I mean, when you see this,

619
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 2: you'll say the same thing that hundreds of people have

620
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: set it to show. It's just too simple. It's it's real,

621
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 2: real simple, and it's all industrial parts. They use this

622
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 2: compressor in air ride vehicles. I got the ideal of

623
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 2: using the compressor off of my cat back hole. It

624
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 2: has an air ride seat in it. It has a

625
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 2: compressor up underneath the seat. They use this on this

626
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 2: compressor on air ride suspension on in trucks, automobiles. They

627
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 2: use it an on off road vehicles. So it's right.

628
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 2: The celenoid valve is an industrial celenoid valve. They use

629
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: it in the prison systems. I was shocked as there.

630
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 2: But apparently in the prisons or jail out is you

631
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 2: don't get an hour to take a shower and uh

632
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 2: so too long they can turn it off.

633
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. How much custom fabrication do you have per unit

634
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: or is it all piece that pieces you can get manufacturing?

635
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: Just screw it in.

636
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 2: No, we have it manufactured there in Houston.

637
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: But I mean, is it custom fabrication or can you

638
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: just can you manufacture these? You know, mass manufacturing and

639
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 1: then you just screw them together.

640
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 2: They're they're manufactured. They're all riveted together and welded. They're welded, yes,

00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 2: from some parts of welded. Yes, sir yes, sir unmanufactured.
