00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: see fits there in nineteen ninety trying to think I

60
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: did two years at community college. I did a semester

61
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: at Lake State, and I think it would have been winner.

62
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: Of ninety five.

63
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: Somewhere around there. Winter in ninety five, I moved down

64
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: to Grand Rapids, Michigan, bounced around a little bit, and

65
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: then landed in a house with YouTube and some other people.

66
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: Uh it was it was such a house that turnover

67
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: was so high there that none of the people that

68
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: lived there. I remember someone realizing that no one that

69
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: lived there was on the lease like other people, other

70
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: forgotten individuals had signed the lease and it was or

71
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: maybe Schmidty was on the lease, was on the.

72
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: Least, but he was in Washington at that point by

73
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: the time you got here.

74
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: And that's how I met Fitzgerald and Andrew Radjulowski. Jamie Fitzgerald,

75
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: r Andrew Ragelowski.

76
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: How many years ago was that I was thinking about

77
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: this almost thirty years.

78
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, coming up on thirty.

79
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: One of my favorite sentences, if I told you the sentence,

80
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: probably the best sentence I ever heard, was said in

81
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: that house. Our other roommate who's not with us, Mark Schmidt,

82
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: was from Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and he really liked Sheboygan brats. Okay,

83
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: he would periodically from his mother get a box the

84
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: Brons big box. Andy would boil those brots in I

85
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: think beer.

86
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 5: Beer onions and butter.

87
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: Okay, all these brots and beer, onions and butter. He

88
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: was in culinary arts school.

89
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 6: That's what I wanted. That's the first one.

90
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: So he knew this. He knew this trick. Okay, and

91
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: you the leftovers I'm leading up to word of sense.

92
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: The leftovers would go into the fridge and the butter

93
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: would solidify on the roof. On the top, you'd get

94
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: like an inch of half inch of butter form a

95
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: rock hard layer, and under that would be beer and brots.

96
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: Hold that in mind. Okay, we were talking about those

97
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: are in the fridge, and we're talking about we're having

98
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: a conversation about ice fishing in the middle of the night.

99
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: And Andy then says my favorite sentence I've ever heard

100
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: in reference to the in the pot and the fridge.

101
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: He says, if you want to talk about late night

102
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: ice fishing, why don't you go aug ur a hole

103
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: through that butter and pull out one of that bloggers.

104
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 7: And that's great trophy brats.

105
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was one of my best sentences ever. Seth's

106
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: always on the show, you know him. My brother Danny's

107
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: on the show. And to set the scene here, what

108
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: year was it that? What year was it that we

109
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: bought this place? Oh six o god? And then explain

110
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: to people how you uh explain to people how you

111
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: came out to the island.

112
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was working for the University of Alaska at

113
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 8: the time, and we were starting a new project and

114
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 8: in southeast where we were doing some water quality mining

115
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 8: or water quality monitoring, mostly related to like timber harvest

116
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 8: and mining and that sort of thing. And we had

117
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 8: a few meetings in different villages just letting people know

118
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,119
Speaker 8: what we were all about and what we were doing

119
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 8: down here.

120
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: And when we.

121
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 8: Went to Cassan, the the village kind of through a

122
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 8: little get together and invited folks to come meet us.

123
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 8: And Ron Ron Layton showed up with a bunch of shrimp.

124
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 8: He's been on the show, yeah, yeah, yeah, and he

125
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 8: was very interested in what we were working on and

126
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 8: wanted to get involved in help out. So he invited

127
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 8: us to come base out of his house here in

128
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 8: South ry Cove for a while while we're doing some

129
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 8: of the work and offered the motor USTs around in

130
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 8: his boat, you know.

131
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: And you guys are going into streams sampling of invertebrates.

132
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was some water quality measurements and

133
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 8: some stream habitat measurements, some invertebrate sampling, and yeah, we

134
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 8: worked on Dan Bugan and I worked on that project

135
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 8: for a number of years, all over We travel all

136
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 8: over southeast Lastka. It was a pretty deep project. Took

137
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 8: taking the ferry around and chartering airplanes and really got

138
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 8: to see the lay of the land quite a bit.

139
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 8: And the first year ron Ron invited us down for

140
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 8: the first year of the project, and then I didn't

141
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 8: This is before I really knew him. We got in

142
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 8: some argument over the phone and I'm not used to

143
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 8: getting in arguments with like grown men, and I can't

144
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 8: even remember what we were arguing about, and things got

145
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 8: real testy, and like he hung up the phone on me,

146
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 8: and I didn't really know what to make of it,

147
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 8: and we just didn't go. You know, we didn't come

148
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 8: to the cove that first year. I think that was

149
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 8: probably like two thousand and three or two thousand and

150
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 8: two because of the argument. Yeah, I never heard the story.

151
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I just like, Wow, that's not going to

152
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 8: work out, you know, Like that guy is fucking crazy.

153
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: And he didn't at the time realize that he was

154
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: just crazy exactly exactly so.

155
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 8: But he calls me up like the next year in

156
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,840

Speaker 8: you know. And yeah, we showed up and he did

159
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 8: everything he said he was gonna do, and hung out

160
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 8: with him and Joan just I mean, absolutely delightful people.

161
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 8: He took us all over the places we needed to go,

162
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 8: and then the evenings we were running trimp pots and

163
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 8: fish and hall a bit and m I've never even

164
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 8: caught a halbit before. Yeah, we'd anchored it outside the cove.

165
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 8: And the first hel but ever caught was with Ron

166
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 8: and this oh actually no, the first helbot ever caught

167
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 8: was that time you came, Steve, which was maybe two

168
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 8: years later. That must have been like oh four or five, yep. Yeah,

169
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 8: and Ron anchors anchored up and kind of got me

170
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 8: into one hundred and seventy pound hell of it. That's

171
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 8: the first one I ever caught.

172
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: To this today, that's the biggest hell but I've seen

173
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: come up on a rod and reel okay here, you know. Yeah.

174
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 8: So yeah, we based out of here for work for

175
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 8: a couple of years, and then Ron just kept inviting

176
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 8: me back to fish and run pots, you know, for

177
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 8: a week at a time every summer, and I and

178
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 8: him and Joan would say, oh, come for two weeks

179
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 8: next year, you know. And and well you came down

180
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 8: with me that one year, Steve. And and then after

181
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 8: after just staying at Ron and Jones for a couple

182
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 8: of years just fishing, you know, after that project was over.

183
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 8: At one point he called and say, Hey, that Jack's

184
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 8: were stale next door. You guys should think about buying it.

185
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,240

Speaker 1: list of activities.

219
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,880

221
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,720

00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: Fitz said the other day, he's been to Alaska fifteen times,

229
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: but he's only been here, never been anywhere else.

00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: What else is there?

231
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: And then uh, yeah, and you were introduced by way

232
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: of your broatworst recipe. So I was going fitz and

233
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: I were going on just like regular Joe Blow College

234
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: and you were in culinary arts at the time.

235
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 5: But I did a couple of years at Grand Valley

236
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 5: as well. Oh you did some regular college too, And

237
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 5: then right at that whole junction when you moved in,

238
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 5: that was when I transferred over to the colonial program downtown.

239
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 5: And yeah, that house was quite the scene.

240
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: The scene, and you were you were making uh when

241
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: you took pastry class, I think there was you was

242
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: it you and pastry one or pastry two? And so

243
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: you'd bring all the pastries home.

244
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 5: Oh, you might be thinking that Mark was working at

245
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 5: a bakery slash deli, that he would bring a bunch

246
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 5: of stuff.

247
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 6: There was always a fridge full of food for a

248
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 6: bunch of broke college kids. We were doing doing hard.

249
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 6: But I remember coming home from class.

250
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 5: And there'd be a couple of big old salmon from

251
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 5: the river and the or was it steel steelhead?

252
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: Uh? Tell tell people about your what you went on

253
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: to do for your career, which is interesting. You landed

254
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: out in the San Juan Islands eventually. Uh.

255
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, after we left Michigan, kind of filtered my way

256
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 5: out to the West coast and out to small island, uh,

257
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 5: San Juan Island out in northwest Washington, north of Seattle there,

258
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 5: and kind of kicked around work for the parks for

259
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 5: a few years, which it was a pretty fun job.

260
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: Real lighthouse keeper yep.

261
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 5: But then for the last sixteen years I've been working

262
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 5: for the school district on the island, which is a small,

263
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 5: small community. I mean, the whole district K through twelve

264
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 5: is under thousand, undred thousand kids all the way through.

265
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 5: But yeah, I built a food program there kind of

266
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 5: from the ground up, and it's kind of progressive. You know,

267
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 5: everything's from scratch. I source as much local practice as

268
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 5: I can and then kind of go out from there,

269
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 5: you know, And I've got great people working for me

270
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 5: and find really cool grants to bring in a lot

271
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 5: of fresh produce from Washington and Oregon and the surrounding areas.

272
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: And when you came in, they were going to scrap

273
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: their lunch program.

274
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was.

275
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 5: It was failing because they were just doing the standard garbage,

276
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 5: you know, food and just didn't have the participation to

277
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 5: make it sustainable. So somebody got a hold, somebody got

278
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 5: a hold of a little bit of grant money, and

279
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 5: my name got thrown.

280
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: In the ring.

281
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 6: I had no idea.

282
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 5: I mean, I never stepped foot in the school before,

283
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 5: and that first year was a lot of trial and error,

284
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 5: and I put a lot of hours in, but I

285
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 5: kind of got got the ship righted and kind of

286
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 5: stuck with it, and yeah, built pretty successful program over

287
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 5: the years.

288
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: And how many kids you guys feed every day.

289
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 5: Between breakfast and launch About five five hundred plus.

290
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: So he was and he was explaining to my kids

291
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: this morning, when you guys do pizza, Hm, well, kids

292
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: helped cook. Yeah.

293
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,359
Speaker 6: So I have five classes.

294
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 5: So the way we set it up that and that's

295
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 5: another unique piece of the program that we have is

296
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 5: the fact that I have like a work based learning internship.

297
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 5: And that was kind of the early years. There was

298
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 5: very few electives.

299
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 6: In the district.

300
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 5: There was you know, the standard art and this and that,

301
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 5: and we just had some kids that just had no place,

302
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 5: you know, to land. They weren't doing very good in

303
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 5: the classroom. And some of the counselors kind of approached

304
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 5: me and they said, hey, I've got these kids, a

305
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 5: couple of them that are just lost. I said, zend

306
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 5: them my way, you know, and I put knives in

307
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 5: their pants. Yeah, great idea. There's a real sharp knife kid.

308
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 5: And it kind of took and from that we introduced

309
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 5: an actual class and so I've got five classes full

310
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 5: of kids that it's set up as a work based

311
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 5: learning internship, so they get credit for basically coming in

312
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 5: and work.

313
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 6: It's like I treat it like they've left the building

314
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 6: to come into a job.

315
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 5: So each class kind of knows its roll, and through

316
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 5: the course of the morning, each class kind of has

317
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 5: a different role, but they know they come in. They

318
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 5: set up the station with a cutting board and knife,

319
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 5: and there's a big touchscreen board that they hit the

320
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 5: list every morning. I read a fresh list every morning,

321
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 5: and they start knocking things down and they're yeah, slicing, dicing,

322
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 5: they're cleaning, they're doing all kind of stuff whatever.

323
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 6: I come in and they just they come in. I

324
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 6: just start barking at them.

325
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: And so it's like, prepare the lunch.

326
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, they help, they yeah, they help.

327
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: You make them call you chef.

328
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, they call the chef for sure.

329
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: And when you guys do pizza day, you guys are

330
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: making dough from scratch and rolling up pizza crust. Oh yeah,

331
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: for five hundred hundreds of people. Yeah, and when you

332
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: guys make mac and cheese, tell me the about give

333
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: people just to get a sense. Tell people how you

334
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: make mac.

335
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 6: Well, I'd make the sauce from scratch.

336
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 5: So that's about anywhere between twelve to fifteen pounds of butter,

337
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 5: twelve to fifteen pounds of flour, about fifteen gallons of milk,

338
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 5: and then about thirty to thirty five pounds of dried

339
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 5: pasta thirty forty pounds of shreaded cheese. But everything, I mean,

340
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 5: that's it, and that's all that's.

341
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: Is making mac and cheese. Yeah, it's the coolest thing

342
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: in the world. Now, it's a lot.

343
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 6: And with a lot of kids, it's not.

344
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 5: A lot of them aren't necessarily going into the hospitality industry,

345
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 5: but it's for a lot of kids. I only deal

346
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 5: with high school kids, but for some of the younger

347
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 5: ones ninth tenth grade, they've never had a job before.

348
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 5: They don't know, you know, any kind of structure as

349
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 5: far as the workforce goes. So it's kind of their

350
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 5: first taste of this is what it means to have

351
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 5: a job, and this is what it means to have

352
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 5: people rely on you every day, because when they don't

353
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 5: show up, then.

354
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 6: I've got to do double the work or the other

355
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 6: students in the class have to do.

356
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 5: So I treat it as you know, you're on your

357
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 5: way to the workforce. This is what it means, no

358
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 5: matter if you're in hospitality or if you're in accounting,

359
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 5: or if you're whatever you decide to go do. This

360
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 5: is what it means to be accountable and have a

361
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 5: job and you know, get your head together. And had

362
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 5: some kids going to culinary arts. Oh yeah, definitely. I've

363
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 5: so said kids all over the place. The Art Institute

364
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 5: in Seattle has a great program. I've sent quite a

365
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 5: few kids down there. I've sent one kid might actually

366
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 5: the regional kid that started the whole program because he

367
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 5: was just a wreck. He ended up going all the

368
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 5: way over to the New England Colinery Institute. Yeah, seriously, Yep,

369
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 5: that's cool, and then went down and did an internship

370
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 5: down New Orleans and came back and started a family

371
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 5: on the island.

372
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 6: The whole work. Yeah, this is one of my my.

373
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 5: Success sex stories, very old Rowan.

374
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's cool, that's all. Yeah, well I passed up Matt. Matt,

375
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: you're you teach? Yeah, high school? Yeah, Andy, and I've.

376
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 9: Shared a lot of stories about this kind of stuff,

377
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 9: and yeah, I can't, you know, have to make this

378
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 9: an education podcast, but yeah, it's it's just amazing if

379
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 9: you can get him in that right situation because I've

380
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 9: had the same not as as as pronounced as that,

381
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 9: but you know, running a greenhouse and a garden and

382
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 9: an alcophonics facility and getting kids those jobs and just

383
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 9: seeing kids that are kind of lost in the in

384
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 9: what would be traditional and find out something new for

385
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 9: them to do is is. Yeah, it's unbelievably rewarding, and

386
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 9: it's it's cool to see it happened and.

387
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 6: It transfers over.

388
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 5: I've had so many kids that just did want to

389
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 5: be at school, and then all of a sudden they

390
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 5: want to come to be in the kitchen, and then

391
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 5: they're there for the day and that, you know, teachers

392
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 5: coming on, what are you doing down there? Because all

393
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 5: of a sudden, you know so and so is here

394
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 5: every day and they're they're actually kind of participating.

395
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 6: So it's Yeah, it transfers down the line.

00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: I think I've had kids.

428
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: So I found my niche teacher by day. Uh, I

429
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: gotta do a couple of quick things. Well, I got

430
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: to run one by you. We get people that write

431
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: in ethics questions. Okay, oh first Dan, you're gonna speak

432
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: to this, you know about fisheries. Just a couple of

433
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: listener emails we got to take care of. We recently

434
00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: had on people from Colossal Bioscience on about cloning the

435
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: sort of technical challenges and moral challenges of cloning wooly mammoths,

436
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: and on that show, Callahan got to On that episode,

437
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Callahan got to talk about what is the with

438
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: all the new work in genetics. In genetics, what might

439
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: be done about invasives? And a fisheries guy wrote in

440
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: talking about talking about this work to remove non native

441
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: brook trout in the Western US. Are you familiar with this,

442
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you more. Why why super mail? Yeah? Explain that.

443
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 8: Explain that in Layman's terms, Well, genetics and invasives are

444
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 8: neither of the those are my area of expertise. But

445
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 8: the gist of it is, I think if you were

446
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 8: trying to eliminate invasive brick trout population, you would.

447
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: Somehow cox.

448
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 8: H hatchery broodstock to produce why why so homozigous male

449
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 8: brick trot right, that then you didn't swamp the system

450
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 8: with these why why brick trout? And so every so

451
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 8: the male determines the sex, right, so every offspring they're

452
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 8: going to have, it's going to be male, and so

453
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 8: you're just eliminating females from the population. It's kind of

454
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 8: how it works. But I mean, I've never been involved

455
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 8: with that sort of work. I don't really know the

456
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 8: details of it, but that's the gist of it.

457
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: So hay Spur. Here's more in technical terminology. Hay Spur

458
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: fish hatchery just south of Haley, Idaho. The staff spawns

459
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: geno typic y Y chromosome males with genotypic y Y

460
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: chromosome females. Their offspring are one hundred percent y Y

461
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: chromosome males. You then stock them. They spawn with wild

462
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: female brook trout and spin off one hundred percent males

463
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: that also have that same y Y or y Y

464
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: being male. Right after several years, the entire stream population

465
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: becomes male or x y being male. Two.

466
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 8: So if you have wild type females, you're gonna they're

467
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 8: gonna have x y sex chromosomes, right, So you're you

468
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 8: would have some yy males and some x y males Like.

469
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, he says, yeah, They're all springs will

470
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: then be why their offspring will then be one hundred

471
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: percent male. Yeah, because each offspring will consist of one

472
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: X chromosome from the mother and one Y chromosome from

473
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: the stocked Superman. Eventually they're all males. The males and

474
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: eventually giving up any excess to make xx females. Right,

475
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: So yeah, does this standard reason that you'd want to

476
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 1: be fishing that spot? Would those males all get real

477
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: big or that doesn't matter. Oh, you're thinking that right

478
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: before the crash. It'd be great birkshop fishing. You know

479
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: what you're thinking.

480
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 8: You're thinking remember when the state of Michigan was stocking

481
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 8: super salmon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what you're thinking of.

482
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 8: So the idea there because they're they only spawned once, right,

483
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 8: So the thinking there was that these fish are never

484
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 8: going to spawn and die, They're just going to keep

485
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 8: growing indefinitely. But that wouldn't apply to you know, a

486
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 8: fish that spawns over and over again, like a brook trout.

487
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 8: It wouldn't interfere.

488
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you remember being kids and they would have

489
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: the salmon derbys. Yeah, and they would go out and tag.

490
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: They'd catch one salmon and tag it, and it was

491
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: like a millillion dollars, like a million dollar fish, and

492
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: just everybody's go fishing thinking they're going to catch that

493
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: sung bitch over again to get all that money. But

494
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: he didn't know where in the lake. It was. Okay,

495
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: here are you guys ready for the Oh, here's here's one. No,

496
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: there's no thing to say here. But we were recently

497
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: celebrating small town outdoor columnists. Who's who's ours growing up?

498
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: Oh I don't know, Oh shit, because we're Chronicle ch

499
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: Mark something. Our friend Pat Dirk, and he's sort of

500
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: the last, the dying breed of small town outdoor columnists.

501
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: And the guy rode in to have a real gripe.

502
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: He's got a real bone to pick with small town

503
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: outdoor columnists because he says that his childhood swimming and

504
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: fishing spot actually got blown up by an outdoor columnist.

505
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: They were in a place under a bridge. They always

506
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 1: assume they weren't supposed to be there. They'd swim there

507
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: and catch a lot of nice brookies. Day guy shows

508
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: up and they assume he's there to yell at him,

509
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: But it turns out he's some kind of journalist. Interviews

510
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: all the kids there, takes a picture of their big

511
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: stringer of brookies, runs a piece about how cute it

512
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: is that these kids have this fishing whole understaid such

513
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: and such bridge, And he goes back there and it's

514
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: full of people. Yeah, that's a pretty easy spot to find.

515
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: Never yet, and he never he never forgave his small

516
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: town outdoor. What state was that in Pennsylvania? Is it

517
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: so home? Maybe I'm wrong? Oh no, sorry Washington, d

518
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: C suburbs. Huh, rural area in Virginia which has been

519
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: consumed sorry, rural Virginia, which is since he was a kid,

520
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: has been overtaken by DC suburbs and exurbs. Which is

521
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: a phrase. I don't think it has ever said in

522
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: the show. Here's the moral one. Ready, this guy lives

523
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: in their neighborhood. The neighborhoods no h o a. All right,

524
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: even though there's no hoa. His wife is the neighborhood president.

525
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means.

526
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 6: He had seven chickens self appointed.

527
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Unless he wrote that's when he said

528
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: we live in a neighborhood with no hoa, he meant

529
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: to say we live in a neighborhood with an with

530
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: an h o a, because then he says, my wife

531
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: is actually the president the US. Is it Kamala Harris?

532
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: Is this from the future. It's Kamala Harris. The Polsters, Uh,

533
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: we're wrong. So he's got seven chickens, all get killed? Okay,

534
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: puts out a trail cam's a fox. He gets himself

535
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: a he's calling it a humane trap, meaning he's got

536
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: a live trap, captures the fox. He in his mind

537
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: is the thing to do now is to kill the fox.

538
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: His wife and daughter having none of it, he drives

539
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: the fox five miles down the road and lets it loose.

540
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: Against this better judgment. The neighborhood is now an uproar

541
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: because it turns out they all like that fox. He's

542
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: got a couple of questions. Is the thing going to

543
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: turn up back here anyway? Probably five miles? And who's

544
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: right people that want to see a fox or people

545
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: that want to have chickens.

546
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 8: I think it's coming right back. You ain't gonna get

547
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 8: it to go on that trap the second time. I'm surprised.

548
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 8: I'm really surprised he got to go on that trap

549
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 8: the first time. There's probably used to eating people's dog food,

550
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 8: and he was surprised.

551
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: He bathed it with tuna fish. You're surprised he got

552
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: the trap five miles Now, that's not gonna do it.

553
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 5: When I worked for the parks, we had a problem

554
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 5: fox out there that was to the point where it

555
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 5: was getting in everything. It was It actually even.

556
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 6: Pulled a bottle out of a baby stroller.

557
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 2: It was aggressive.

558
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 6: Serious. Yeah, and we captured that thing.

559
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 5: We just threw a blanket over it and threw it

560
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 5: in the garbage can and drove it thirteen miles to

561
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 5: the south end of the island.

562
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 6: And that thing was back the next day.

563
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: No, yeah, beat you guys home.

564
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, to god, he was right back. I mean because

565
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 5: it was very distinct. He knew, he knew where it

566
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 5: was at.

567
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 8: You know, we used to have a dog that our

568
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 8: dad tried to give away a few times. It would

569
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 8: always come back.

570
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: You know. We named that dog. You know that dog's

571
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: name Kala. Oh that's right. Yeah, it was some like

572
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: word for leader. And the dog liked to play fat.

573
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: I don't even remember these details. That dog liked to

574
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 1: play fetch so much it would get green tomatoes out

575
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: of the garden. It was like a never ending supply

576
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: of balls, which my dad hated it. Well.

577
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 8: Part of the reason we wanted to get rid of

578
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 8: it is because I ate the right to right tomatoes

579
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 8: just destroyed tomatoes.

580
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I remember this right, he wound up bringing

581
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: it like you know, your dad normally brings a dog

582
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: to a farm. That means he killed it, and that

583
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: happened with other pets, I'm sure. Oh yeah, but he

584
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: brought it to a farm literally, And if I remember right,

585
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: we were eating dinner one night and all of a sudden,

586
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: there's that dog comes by out the tomato in his mouth,

587
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: if I remember right, And that's something like a kayla.

588
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: The leader had come home.

589
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 8: Well, getting back to that fox, that fellow can tell

590
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 8: his neighbors not to worry. Uh, they haven't seen the

591
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 8: last of that fox. But he should tell his other

592
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 8: chickens to worry. He might just want to give himself

593
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 8: a chicken hut.

594
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what he said he likes about He likes

595
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: having him run around, so it makes him feel like

596
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: he lives on a farm. And he also mentioned that

597
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: they spent a lot of time in his neighbor's yard.

598
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: Nothing so this might be a bad neighbor. Nothing more

599
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: farmer than a fox get in your chicken. So that's

600
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: true that uh he was baiting with tune official. Here's

601
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: a this is the here's the thing that guy wrote

602
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: in This guy says, Hey, guys, came across your podcast

603
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: started at episode one and I've worked my way up

604
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: to episode two ninety four and whenever wherever he's at.

605
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: Right now, we're spending a lot of time on skunk essence,

606
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: covering skunk essence. You're talking about a guy, Oh, I

607
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: know what we're talking about. A couple of people rolled

608
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: in where they've used. I was saying one day that

609
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: if I really wanted to get someone, Remember we were

610
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,000

612
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: if I really wanted to get someone, I would take

613
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: that syringe. We're harvesting them with a syringe, and I

614
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: would just reach into their car and inject their pulse upholstery.

615
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 6: Oh my god.

616
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,840

00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: open cans of tuna in the holes, and then sealed

624
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 1: them back up, So all the best money, I'm king

625
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: know nothing more than well.

626
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 10: Uh So, man should right back in with the follow up.

627
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, follow up on that. Yeah, someone eventually tore out

628
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: the drywall and found the rotten tuna. Mm hmm. I

629
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: wonder if they got in trouble. I'm guessing that the

630
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: court would not look fondly on that, which leads me

631
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: to and we're gonna return to our current discussion. Uh So.

00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,440

00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: is live. All right, check it out. With all that said,

646
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: I want to talk about what, like you guys come

647
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: here every year, but you've been here how many years?

648
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:40,240
Speaker 2: Fifteen?

649
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: Okay? Layout for me? How you you come home with

650
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: some fish? We call it a cut. You get a cut.

651
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: Let's we should talk about that first. We fish like communists.

652
00:36:55,880 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: It's cold, it's rainy, there's vodka on the shelf. We're

653
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: like communists, where all the activities we engage in everything

654
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: gets pooled, collectivized, collectivized, meaning if even if you're on

655
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: a work detail, if you got to work, like if

656
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: you got you if let's say for some day you

657
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: had to do your normal job for a day, like

658
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: catch up on emails, or you were like fixing something

659
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: that broke, or you like had to go get gas,

660
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: you had to make the dock so it wasn't a

661
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: death trap and put some tar paper down whatever. So

662
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: if people can get a grip on a wet, wooden,

663
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: slimy dock, that doesn't pull you out. And different activities

664
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: could be like doing shellfish, going for shellfish. It could

665
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: be different kind of fishing things, whatever, and everything gets

666
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: pulled into a freezer, and then on breakup day everything

667
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: is categorized. There's now a suitcase, the whole piece of papers.

668
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 2: Official record of catch.

669
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, official record of catch. It's in a briefcase, and

670
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: there's a tally made and the tally would be how

671
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: many other packages of whatever? And it gets divided out.

672
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 1: The way we kind of do it is adult adult angler.

673
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: We haven't rolled kids. Kids don't get their own catch.

674
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: A kids take goes into the adult angler take. The

675
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 1: adult angler take is called a cut. And so that's

676
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: how we divide out. How do you walk me through

677
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: your Let's go around the table here. We're gonna skip Seth.

678
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: He's a newcomer to the cove, and instead of answering

679
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: this question, Seth is gonna give us an update on

680
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: the A frame, which has had a dramatic Yeah, I

681
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: mean a dramatic recovery. Looking good in there, Yeah.

682
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 10: Ongoing, ongoing recovering right now as we speak in recovery.

683
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's your how do you what's your take? Like?

684
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: What are the things you like to make with your cut? Like?

685
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: How do you think of your cut? You give it

686
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: all away? Do you slowly eat it? What? Do you do.

687
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 2: We usually we usually so it's just me and my wife.

688
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 2: We don't any kids, so we'll usually kind of stretch

689
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 2: it out over the year, usually host to host people,

690
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 2: cook for folks, but a lot of it becomes kind

691
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 2: of just like a protein staple in our house because

692
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 2: my wife doesn't eat meat as you know, red meat,

693
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 2: red meat.

694
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: She eats fish, eats.

695
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 2: Fish, and so it just we kind of stretch it

696
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 2: out really through the year.

697
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: So the moose meat I gave you, she's not eating that.

698
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 2: That's your own private I'm working my way through that

699
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 2: fifty pounds, and that's.

700
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: Your own private Stashy with the fish, he's into.

701
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 2: Fish, he's into and uh, yeah, it's made me a

702
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: better It's made me a better cook in the kitchen,

703
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, it helps being buddies with all

704
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 2: you guys, but it's a it's.

705
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: It's made me.

706
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 2: I'm more creative than I than I used to be.

707
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: What are some of the staples.

708
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 2: Well, some of the things that I've I tried to

709
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 2: emulate out of here. I've I've done some of that

710
00:39:58,360 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: seafood curry.

711
00:39:59,320 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: Have you done the cod?

712
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 2: I have not? Yeah, I have done the I've done

713
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 2: the seafood enchilada yep. And uh. And what I want

714
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 2: this year?

715
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: I want to do.

716
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 2: I want to I want to dial in my chowder game,

717
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,479
Speaker 2: my seafood chowder game. I haven't really I haven't really

718
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 2: dabbled too much in that. Yeah, we just kind of

719
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 2: stretched out. But also like a lot of hosting, I mean,

720
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 2: people people love it when you know you cook cook

721
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 2: a bunch of halibit that you caught or a part

722
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 2: of catching them, right, There's just a certain charm in

723
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 2: that that people just really love. So that's how we

724
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 2: do it.

725
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: What was your uh, what's your highlight from this year?

726
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 7: Uh?

727
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 2: Mechanically putting together that switch.

728
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: I need to explain this a little bit. We have

729
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 1: a pot polar and there's a junction box for the switch,

730
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: and because it's the saltwater marine environment, they assemble the

731
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: wiring and then they inject that box with silicons like

732
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: fill it. So when you open it up, you're looking

733
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 1: into what looks like a bar of soap yep, yep.

734
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: And contained within that bar of soap when you get

735
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: all that picked out of there is the junction. And

736
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: then we redid it and repacked.

737
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 7: It and it worked yeah, it's mechanically that and then

738
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 7: I guess fishing, you know, getting into the into the

739
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,479
Speaker 7: Pacific cod uh, the last couple of days, that's that's

740
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 7: the hottest ocean fishing I've ever been a part of.

741
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was I was going to touch on that

742
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: because yesterday when Danny and I were out diving around,

743
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: I was telling the kids, the boys about how the Plains,

744
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: a lot of the planes tribes would have a thing

745
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: called a year. They had their own word for it,

746
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: a year count or something like that, and it would

747
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: take a buffalo hide and the band would they would

748
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: mark the most notable things from any year. And I think,

749
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, they would do it in a

750
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: concentric a concentric circle. And when you look at these

751
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: annual counts, like you'll you'll see smallpox epidemics, you'll also

752
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: see something so it'd be like a person with spots

753
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: on them. Some of these annual counts have like, uh,

754
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, you'd be like, oh that this is like

755
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: an early encounter with people that had firearms, early encounter

756
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: with white people. And also just like kind of like

757
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: weird things like I remember one of them had one

758
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: of them was like a year that someone had I

759
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: found mistaken. It was like a year that it seemed

760
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: like a year that a bunch of buffalo got struck

761
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: by lightning. Was like the year that's what happened that year.

762
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: And I was saying, I wish from the start we

763
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: had made one of those on a big hal of

764
00:42:54,880 --> 00:43:00,479
Speaker 1: it hide. That would have been an account yep, right.

765
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: And if I was in the most notable thing every year,

766
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: I think it'd be finding like one year would have

767
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 1: been finding what turned into like a dramatic shrimp spot,

768
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: a profound shrimp spot. This year I would perhaps put

769
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: the death of that shrimp spot, but I would probably

770
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,919
Speaker 1: this year. Really what would went out in my mind

771
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 1: this year was to be a cod, a big peacod,

772
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:29,720
Speaker 1: because the year we bought this, we caught a giant.

773
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: Remember that we didn't know what the hell we're doing.

774
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: One of the first things we caught was a huge,

775
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: probably a nine pound cod. I got a picture, you're

776
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: all glassy eyed standing by that old not that sync

777
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: but the previous thing, holding that big ass cod in

778
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: your mechanic suit. Yeah, and you'd get them and then

779
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: you just didn't. They're gone, I mean gone for what

780
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: eight ten years.

781
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 8: It was the twenty fourteen marine heatwave. They just disappeared.

782
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 8: I mean, I think there's like complete reproductive failure and

783
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,919
Speaker 8: presumably a lot of the older ones died off, because yeah,

784
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 8: there was what until last nine years. Until last year,

785
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 8: most years we didn't catch a cod. We had three

786
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 8: boats out there fishing every day and we would catch not.

787
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: A cod, yep, and then a few not it was

788
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: three springs to go started getting dinks and I don't know,

789
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: there's I'm sure there's fish moving and all that, sure,

790
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: but this year, man, it's just like cod galore and yeah,

791
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: and they're not.

792
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 8: They they seem big compared to what we've caught the

793
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 8: last couple of years, but they're they're not big cod yet.

794
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: No, but they're keep like yeah keeper fish, yeah, yeah,

795
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: but no, they're not they're not like ten pounders.

796
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're certainly worth playing, but I mean they get

797
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 8: bigger three four or five.

798
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: Pounds, yeah, gorging on krill and herring. So I think

799
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: there's harring eating krill. Yeah you don't. I just saw

800
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: that kroll when we were diving yesterday. It's clouds of Yeah, Matt,

801
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 1: you caught herring and then later he caught a cod

802
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: that regurgitated a herring and got it. Oh, you caught

803
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: a cod that regurgitated a still live hairing. But just

804
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: a ton of cod. And and like I was saying earlier,

805
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: it's just interesting to get like such a snapshot because

806
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: we'll come and fish the same general area at the

807
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: same general time over the course of a long time,

808
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: and you see these things come in, things come out,

809
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, and be like, like, shrimp were fantastic and

810
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: right now shrimp just sucks, right, Crabs have highs and lows.

811
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: But the cod thing has been is the watching the

812
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: cod be here, be gone, be back makes the shrimp

813
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: thing less depressing because you picture well may you know,

814
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: you like normally in psychologically i'd be like, oh, it's over,

815
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, but you get a it's like probably something

816
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: will happen and all of a sudden it'll be great

817
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 1: shrimping again. Maybe.

818
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 9: And when those cod we're all catching, like they're they're

819
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 9: various sizes. It's not like there's like one growth class

820
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 9: that's taken over, yeah, or catch the small ones on

821
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 9: up to yeah, we've.

822
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 10: Gotten all like ten inches up to yeah, like twenty

823
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 10: eight inches.

824
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, like big ones. So it would seem that this would,

825
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 9: you know, barring anything happening, this would last for a while.

826
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Seth told me yesterday he's actually glad his house

827
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 1: got hit by a large tree.

828
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, believe it or not.

829
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 5: Best thing ever happened to me.

830
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it just exposed all the problems that needed fixed.

831
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 10: And if it didn't do that, we'd be kind of

832
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 10: chipping away at that slowly forever.

833
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: We're observing yesterday that Seth bought his A frame at

834
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: a very important point in time for that a frame. Yes,

835
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: you know when you see a house that's just falling

836
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: down and it's just no, like it's beyond repair. Yeah,

837
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: if you had waited a year, your A frame would

838
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: have become a non salable item. Yeah. No, just especially

839
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: when that tree fell on it. Yeah, because he bought

840
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: his A frame. And then the porch. I bring us

841
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: up all the time, the porch. How high is that

842
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: porch off the ground? Thirteen feet? Noah, yeah, maybe eleven

843
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: to twelve feet off the ground.

844
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 10: Well, I was sitting there last night and I noticed

845
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 10: how like our porch basically is like level with your

846
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 10: roof over here.

847
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: And that porch one day actually fell off. Yep, that

848
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 1: was the first.

849
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 10: That was the first phone call I got from you

850
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 10: with bad news about the place.

851
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 1: You know, there's been several Then a tree fell on

852
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: it and just stove it to den. Yeah. And if

853
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: you hadn't bought it, it would be you'd look over there

854
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: and be like it'd just be another rotten building in Alaska.

855
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: But you bought it just in time. It was like

856
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: it was like a heart attack victim, you know what

857
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,320
Speaker 1: I mean. And right when you hit them with those electrocuters,

858
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: Zapp's back the life that was your purchase. Fibulators. Yeah,

859
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: your purchase defibrillated that house. Yep. Now we got them

860
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:16,959
Speaker 1: back on a good diet. He's doing all right. Brand

861
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: new porch, brand new porch front and back.

862
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 10: Well, the first thing that happens after we bought the place,

863
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 10: the porch fell off. Then we had our buddy Dustin

864
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 10: replace pilings. And I think that's what really saved our

865
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 10: ass when the tree hit the place.

866
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: Oh, because it would just.

867
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 10: Because it would have just yeah, the pilings that were

868
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 10: under it, which there's still a bunch that needs replace,

869
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 10: but like the main ones that were bad all got

870
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 10: replaced and they're sitting on these giant crease pilings.

871
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: Now that's what the porch is on too.

872
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 10: So but yeah, so we did that and then the

873
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:58,240
Speaker 10: tree hit and then we basically rebuilt dustin our buddy

874
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 10: dust and also rebuilt and and some other guys he

875
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 10: had some help, some other guys help. But yeah, front

876
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,720
Speaker 10: and back wall on the A frame, replaced a bunch

877
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 10: of well all the all the choices that got smashed

878
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 10: up when the tree hit.

879
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: Fixed that. And then.

880
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 10: We had some skylights in there that were leaking. It's like, no,

881
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 10: never skylights leaking Montana hot and dry. Why would you

882
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 10: put him in a place in southeast Alaska? But yeah, replaced, God,

883
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 10: those replaced and then uh yeah.

884
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 8: Man, when I when I went in when that tree

885
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 8: fell out, you know, I was here. Yeah, I went

886
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 8: up first starters. I was cutting through your lot, you know,

887
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,399
Speaker 8: going up deer hunting, and I looked and I'm like, funk,

888
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 8: that don't look right.

889
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 6: I remember that there.

890
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,479
Speaker 9: Yeah, why would Seth put a tree in this house?

891
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 8: And I was like, I better better into that on

892
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 8: the way home, you know. So I went out hunted

893
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 8: for the morning and came back. Oh, ship, that is

894
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 8: that is what I was thinking it was you know, yeah,

895
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 8: I sent you that text.

896
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: Maybe I sent Steve, I can't remember. But I went

897
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: up in.

898
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 8: When I went up in there, you know you had

899
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 8: that bed up in your loft. Yeah, because you didn't

900
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 8: see the tree when it was there. No, no, I

901
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 8: got it out of there. Yeah, there's that. If somebody

902
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 8: was in that bed, they would have been fine. But

903
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 8: that fucking trunk. I mean it was a big hemlock

904
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 8: right diameter of that I don't know, two feet diameter

905
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 8: in that trunk.

906
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: It was about a foot off of that bed. I

907
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 1: asked Seth if it would have killed him?

908
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 8: If I can't even imagine if you're late being in

909
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 8: that bed, you couldn't have sat up.

910
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you wouldn't have been touched the way. Bring me

911
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: a coffee. But yeah, I know.

912
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 10: My my brother in law, Bob, who owns the place

913
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,720
Speaker 10: with us, he's over there right now putting up siding.

914
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: So you know, the cutest thing I think about it

915
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: is that your dad likes coming up so it kind

916
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: of like brings your family all nice.

917
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yeah, my dad loves coming up here. It's

918
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 10: all he talks about every time I talked him on

919
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 10: the phone. He's like, I can't wait for life.

920
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: Literally, like just like this.

921
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 10: When he leaves, when he leaves here, or when we

922
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 10: leave here, whatever in a few a week or whatever.

923
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 10: I guarantee you the next phone call he'll be like,

924
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 10: can't wait for Laska next year. That's yeah, he loves it.

925
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 10: But yeah, it's it's when we leave. By the time

926
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 10: we leave, it's going to be a fully functional, rebuilt

927
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 10: cabin with siding and everything.

928
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, congratulations, thanks, feels good. Over the years, I've said,

929
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: over the years has been a lot of people, a

930
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: lot of people that talked about maybe buying that a

931
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: frame and they would go in there and that would

932
00:51:56,160 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: usually end the conversation. Yeah, you're tougher. Name work. Yeah,

933
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:05,439
Speaker 1: you were tougher. You had more vision and tougherness. Yep, yeah,

934
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 1: it was more toughness. Yeah, it was something I didn't

935
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:09,399
Speaker 1: didn't want to pass up.

936
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 10: You.

937
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,360

939
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: lot of different Uh, this isn't your only seafood run

940
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:21,720
Speaker 1: because you guys are all kind of salmon.

941
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, I fished a lot of salmon around home and

942
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 8: then Yeah, I have a few friends with boats that

943
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 8: I get out on the ocean waters up in South Central.

944
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 8: You know how the wittier homer belts so takes the

945
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 8: TIXX pressure off.

946
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 1: Do you remember, Uh, we used to like cheese and chongs.

947
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 1: Next movie and somehow his cousin shows up, one of

948
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: those guys. His cousin shows up. Remember those army Duffel bags. Yea,

949
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,919
Speaker 1: his cousin shows up with the army, those giant army

950
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,240
Speaker 1: Duffel bags full of bud. Yeah, and uh, someone asks

951
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: him what he's gonna do with it all, and he

952
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: says he's gonna smoke some, party with some and sell some.

953
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: Give weird a joke. So whenever we caught a lot

954
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 1: of fish, you remember we smoke some party with someone

955
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: selling and the selling not so much and they're selling

956
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: not at all, but uh anymore, but you definitely smoke something,

957
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 1: party with some.

958
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 9: I thought it was smoke some part of some and

959
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 9: give some to your friends.

960
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,280
Speaker 1: Us smoke some party some, give some to your friends.

961
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:43,399
Speaker 1: Well you do with all your fish? Uh, you guys

962
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: still dip net and stuff like that.

963
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 8: Then yeah, yeah, I'm kind of missing that right now.

964
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 8: Between uh yeah, being down here and just feel work

965
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 8: for my job and stuff. So yeah, I don't. I

966
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 8: don't have a salmon plan this year. I need to

967
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 8: figure something out when I get back home to get

968
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 8: some salmon in the freezer because they're pretty scarce around

969
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 8: here at this moment. But yeah, I already did some halibit.

970
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 8: I already have a bunch of halibit in cod in

971
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 8: the freezer. So how do you sequence it out?

972
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 1: Because I find that, Sam and you gotta get like

973
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: I get, there's certain stuff I just eat or give

974
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: away right away, Like a salmon, you either gotta do

975
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: something with it, like in a year. It's not fun.

976
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 8: Nope, Nope. I like to have all that gone by

977
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 8: next spring. Oh and all this cod that we're getting,

978
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 8: I mean, that's gotta be gone in the next I

979
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:33,399
Speaker 8: don't know, six months.

980
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 1: Is about this limit on that in your freezer?

981
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 8: It's a leather yeah yeah, but halibut, man, you can

982
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:40,439
Speaker 8: let that alib it sit for a couple of years

983
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 8: and hardly tell the difference.

984
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: You know what. I don't know if you remember the story,

985
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,799
Speaker 1: you and me were up here, and it was when

986
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: I was staying in your guest house and we were

987
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: up here and we were like bringing a bunch of

988
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: halibit home. I mean, for some reason put it into

989
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 1: a dry bag, yeah, a rubberized dry bag, and then

990
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what how we did with it, brought

991
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: it home, all of our frozen hal but in a

992
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 1: rubber dry bag in a cooler or something. Back to anchor.

993
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 1: You were an an and uh, time goes by and

994
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 1: that your gear room just it's so like you can't

995
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 1: It's one of those you know, like when you hear

996
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: there's certain noises, like when you hear a turkey going right,

997
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: or when you hear a blue grouse doing his noise,

998
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: Like you know it's there, but you can't tell what direction.

999
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 1: It was a smell that it was like, it was

1000
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: a smell. It was like a turkey drummond. You know

1001
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 1: it's there, but you can't. It's hard to pinpoint the direction.

1002
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: And you just come in the house and you'd be

1003
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: like what, Yeah, my gear room was also my boiler room,

1004
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 1: so that's really warm. We narrow in on it's something

1005
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: in the gear room. Yeah, and we systematically emptied out

1006
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember this. We systematically emptied out

1007
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:16,439
Speaker 1: the gear room yeah, No, couldn't figure out what had

1008
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: died there. We thought something died there. We didn't know

1009
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: what emptied out the gear room. Put everything back. The

1010
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: smell gets worse the second time. We do, like a

1011
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 1: more thorough examination. Realized that, like in that rubber dry bag,

1012
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: when someone emptied out the rubber dry bag, they left

1013
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: one pack of a halibit in that rubber dry bag,

1014
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: and that's what was the culprit. And so when you're

1015
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 1: searching the room, you just pick up a dry bag

1016
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: and it doesn't weigh Yeah, and an extra that was

1017
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: a nasty pack of halibit. Man.

1018
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 10: Speaking of noises where you can't tell where they're coming from,

1019
00:56:56,080 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 10: we're over here fishing salmon yesterday and we get there's

1020
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 10: like sam and jumping all over the place closer to

1021
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 10: the bank or back of there. So we kind of

1022
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 10: like slowly put over there, shut the engine off. And

1023
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 10: you can hear a bear up in the woods snapping

1024
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 10: its jaws at us. Oh, just like popping them, you know,

1025
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 10: like the town they make when they're popping their jaws.

1026
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 10: Just up there, popping its jaws like crazy.

1027
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: That's cool. Couldn't see it, but you could hear it.

1028
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: Like that distinct sound. Yeah, because otherwise I would say

1029
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: in my year count blanket. Another option here would be

1030
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: the year of no bears. There's a soal of two

1031
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: cubs that's hanging it out over here. Oh okay, because

1032
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: they're not like running around trying.

1033
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 10: To no in the spring when we're hearing the spring

1034
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 10: bear hunting. They were everywhere just because they come to

1035
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 10: the covid come to covide A, wait them.

1036
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they know it's a safe place. Yeah, No one's

1037
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: gonna get them, all right.

1038
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 8: There's a story I always tell about my kids being

1039
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 8: out flipping the rocks and just playing in the inner

1040
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 8: title zone out here, and I came out on this

1041
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 8: is well, yeah, I think we're getting a little break

1042
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 8: from the bears. The last couple of years it just

1043
00:57:58,040 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 8: seemed to be less abundant. But yeah, when they used

1044
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 8: to always be hanging around on the beach. I remember

1045
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 8: walking on this porch and my kids were young man

1046
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 8: like maybe three and five or something like that, and

1047
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 8: they're out there playing in the flats and I said, hey, guys,

1048
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 8: just letting you know it was a bear behind you,

1049
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 8: And they didn't even turn around to look at it.

1050
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 8: Doing what they were doing like they're just so used

1051
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 8: to it.

1052
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: I got a picture in one of my kids on

1053
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: a rope swing that I took that that was video

1054
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: like rope basically rope swinging like out over. And I

1055
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 1: got another one of my older boy in his underwear

1056
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: shooting a slingshot at one it's like up in the

1057
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: like up by the table there, you know.

1058
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, Matt DROs just just gave me a photo

1059
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 8: that I did not know existed of me hitting a

1060
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 8: bear with a rock that was causing us some troubles.

1061
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: All right, Matt, so uh your cut. We'll give me

1062
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: your most memorable Danny got to your most memorable things

1063
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: from this year?

00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 8: get peacod coming back? Oh in that great data link

1066
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 8: cod fishing with with fits and was the boat with us?

1067
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 8: Uh Rosemary? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's just

1068
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 8: the link hod bite was just on and maybe I

1069
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 8: don't know if the tide was moving real good and

1070
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 8: we just timed it right.

1071
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 2: And yeah, a bunch of duskies, a bunch of silver rays.

1072
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was some pretty intense fishing, man. That's great.

1073
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 1: It was one of the things you learned over the

1074
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: years of going to fishing the same thing all the time,

1075
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 1: is uh, you learned like some general trends and rules

1076
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: and stuff, but we've accumulated a ton of you know,

1077
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 1: but you also learned there's just things you can't explain

1078
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: like that. You remember one time seth in the spring.

1079
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: We were on a particular feature over by where we

1080
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 1: set trimp pot sometimes and dropped out was like silver

1081
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 1: grays and duskies and stuff. I've been back to three

1082
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 1: times since nothing happens. It's like some current thing, some

1083
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: food thing, and you'll never replicate it. Yeah, you know,

1084
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: and you can go out and yeah, I don't know

1085
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: the moodiness of fish man. Yeah.

1086
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 8: Another one of those changes was, you know, more long term,

1087
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 8: was just the disappearance of those twenty arm starfish. You know,

1088
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 8: every shrimp pot used to have one or two of

1089
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 8: those in it, and then that blight came through and

1090
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 8: all the star sea stars died off. And I mean,

1091
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 8: I haven't seen one of those things in years, and

1092
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 8: I don't know if it's a coincidence or not. But

1093
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 8: then octopus got real abundant for a while or right

1094
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 8: after the seastars died off.

1095
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: Yep.

1096
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 8: And then you know, yeah, we had a few years

1097
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 8: where it wouldn't I mean most most years, I would say,

1098
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 8: you know, in a week of hardcore shrimp and you

1099
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 8: might get an octopus. And then there was a year

1100
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 8: where we get like one or two a day, or

1101
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 8: for a few years.

1102
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: You remember Ron Layton, you'd pull every shrimp pot to

1103
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: have a bunch of those on it in it and

1104
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 1: Ron Layton would make you put them on a bucket. Yeah,

1105
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: so he could move him out of his So you're

1106
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 1: somehow like you're somehow going to get him out of

1107
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: the areas Like I don't know, we saw sixty today,

1108
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: you think that's the only sixty dollars, But yeah, those

1109
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 1: things aren't around anymore. That's another big, huge change over time.

1110
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 8: And and then the yeah, I don't know, the octopus

1111
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 8: seem at least by you know, from our trapping less

1112
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:29,919
Speaker 8: abundant in the last couple of years.

1113
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 1: And they only said he's getting out pus almost every day.

1114
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 1: Oh really, really where he's trimping, he cleans them or

1115
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: pitches him, pitches him. Does he do because he thinks

1116
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: they're so smart? Because he doesn't want to deal with him.

1117
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 10: Well, when I was talking to him, I was like,

1118
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 10: I was like, oh, I love eating those things, and

1119
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 10: he's like really, and I was like yeah. He's like, well,

1120
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 10: if I get one, I'll bring it to you.

1121
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: Okay. So not because they're so smart. I think he

1122
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: just doesn't because a lot of people quit because they're smart. Yeah,

1123
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: we got hot onto that documentary. But yeahs teacher bestly

1124
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: never happened to octopuses. But like I said, I've said

1125
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: it before, I don't know that everything else is that dumb.

1126
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: That's true.

1127
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 2: Nobody's befriended the halibate.

1128
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: Yet if you went ahong all the halb it, you

1129
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: might wind up being not one to eat them either.

1130
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: That it might be a substitute teacher, my teacher. So

1131
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 1: Matt hit me with your most memorable for the year.

1132
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 9: I was just trying to think there's been so many,

1133
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 9: Like I want to someone that has just been a

1134
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 9: smooth year, like like mechanical, like weatherwise, unbelievable.

1135
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: We got one mystery. One mechanical mystery is uh, the

1136
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: one of the motors not charging it's bat and it's

1137
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 1: not the charging fids but minor.

1138
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, but the cod was it's crazy. I mean, the

1139
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 9: three of us are out and there was a point

1140
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 9: where we had triple headers numerous times you wouldn't put

1141
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 9: down without bringing up a fish. And that's just you know, yeah,

1142
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 9: that's pretty pretty amazing.

1143
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: Fishion just steady this year.

1144
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 8: Usually it's like you got one or two days that

1145
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 8: where you bringing ninety percent of the catch when it's

1146
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 8: just odd, you know. And this year it was just

1147
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 8: kind of every.

1148
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 9: Day was we came in yesterday with I don't know

1149
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 9: three hal of it and probably ten cod, and we're like, man, yeah, I.

1150
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: Mean any other year we'd have been oh man, what

1151
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: we got. It was just it was crazy.

1152
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 7: Uh.

1153
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: There's a there's a thing from up here we find

1154
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: is there's like a running joke that if you're if

1155
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: someone's coming up, oh yeah, yeah, if you're getting if

1156
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 1: you're coming up in a few days, the best thing

1157
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: you could hear is that the fishing sucks. Before I

1158
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 1: came up, I didn't want to text anybody. I did

1159
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: not want to hear because, like the joke is, if

1160
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: the fishing's good in a couple of days, it won't

1161
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 1: be right. And so you want to make sure that

1162
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: right before like three days before you show up, you

1163
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 1: want to hear that it's a miserable bite and then

1164
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: you're like, well, mathematically that means it's gonna be hot

1165
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 1: when I get there, because it comes in like days

1166
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: on days off days, and it's not it's not it's

1167
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: not lunar, it's not a thirty day roll. It's a

1168
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: much it's like a smaller role, and no one's been

1169
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: able to identify it. I think if we had over

1170
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: time been really meticulous about moon phase, moon phase, slash,

1171
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 1: tide swing, I don't know what, I don't know what

1172
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 1: all inputs would you put in the wind whatever. If

1173
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: we had made some kind of chart, and it could

1174
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: be as simple as like you fill in five or

1175
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: six variables and then rate the days fishing on a

1176
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: one to ten or something, you might start putting together

1177
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: what it is. But it's not sun, and it's not

1178
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: high wind, low wind. It's not all those things that

1179
01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: you remember the day by. It's like it's like the

1180
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: things that you it's you knows the things you don't remember.

1181
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 9: Well, right, well, yesterday we had that day that we're fishing,

1182
01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 9: we had that that current was ripping and then for

1183
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,919
Speaker 9: like five minutes it stopped and everything was straight down

1184
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 9: and then I looked into something huge.

1185
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: It got off and then it started ripping again and

1186
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 1: it just changed everything. Bathing could have been coming by. Yeah,

1187
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: energy for attack, that's what that was. No, it's so

1188
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 1: much mystery. Oh and then you guys for the first

1189
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 1: time another thing that like we always know one was around.

1190
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: Who saw the salmon shark?

1191
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 2: It was last last year. That was last year, you.

1192
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: Know, I you had to lay eyes on one.

1193
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 2: It was the classic kind of shark fin and the

1194
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 2: tail tip of the tail just kind of going by

1195
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 2: like Jaws. It was probably what.

1196
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: We just kind of happened to turn around.

1197
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 9: We all saw it like just swimming by, heading towards

1198
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 9: you guys.

1199
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: She was all hot. Another thing about like freak deals.

1200
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:04,440
Speaker 1: So seeing the salmon shark like all that time, and

1201
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 1: then you look at there was many many years there

1202
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 1: was never a sea otter. Yeah, fifteen years of no

1203
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 1: sea otters, and then now there's the occasional seaatter sighting.

1204
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: The neighbor is out one day and they have like

1205
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 1: a what in the world is that? And it was

1206
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: a I mean it looked like a several hundred pound

1207
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: oceanic sunfish. Yeah, oh, coming along the surface and just

1208
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: kind of went right under their boat. And then he

1209
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: took a cell phone video and that fish. He took

1210
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: a cell phone video as it's going under the boat,

1211
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 1: and that fish just keeps coming and coming and coming

1212
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 1: and coming as it goes by on to the boat.

1213
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: I think they've never seen another one. I think that

1214
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 1: was twenty fourteen marine heat wave. It was that summer. Yeah, yep, yeah, yeah,

1215
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 1: just like the one offs, you know, the one off

1216
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: weird things.

1217
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 10: That's what I love about this place. It's like you'd

1218
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 10: never know what you're going to see up here, really, you.

1219
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: Never you never know what you're never gonna see again.

1220
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, and every year it's like something different you see

1221
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 10: or catcher.

1222
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 1: It's cool. Any most memorable whatever commentary around.

1223
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 6: Oh you know where this is gone.

1224
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: You're a new griddle. So if you were making a

1225
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 1: year count, your year count would be your giant Riddle pancakes.

1226
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 2: So like, okay, griddle after grill.

1227
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: And has in our circle, how many years you've been here?

1264
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 1: talking about. But you know how I keep wanting to

1265
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 1: tell people about this. Uh, you guys know what geo

1266
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 1: cashes are. You know what everybody does? A geocash uses

1267
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: an animal can. Yeah, because it's like real Comedy's an

1268
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 1: army animal can for geocash. So my kids have just

1269
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 1: found not even using GPS, they somehow have found two geocachhes.

1270
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: They found one near when we hunt Spring Turkey and Wisconsin,

1271
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: we always go. Bubby Dog always takes this cheese place

1272
01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 1: down the road. It makes cheese car Valley cheese. We

1273
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 1: going down here to get kurds and they're like running

1274
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: around the woods there and they find an ammal can

1275
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: and they opened up and full of all the garbage.

1276
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 1: It's in a geocash thing, including a notepad. There's a

1277
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 1: nurse spot where we can't. They just happen to find

1278
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 1: a geocache can, and they always putting junk in there

1279
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 1: and taking it out. So my boy, my little boy

1280
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 1: has only ever seen an army can in context of

1281
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 1: a geocash. Two times I have heard him accuse people

1282
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 1: of having stole a geoc cash box because they have

1283
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 1: in their possession an army.

1284
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 5: He took the he took the geo cash box.

1285
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, man, those have always been around,

1286
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: you know. No, it's a geocash box.

1287
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:52,719
Speaker 5: Got uh?

1288
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:54,320
Speaker 1: And then how do you handle your fish and what

1289
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 1: your uh? When you go home?

1290
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 5: You make the same things there, uh, you know, the

1291
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 5: day to day pull out fish and make for myself.

1292
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:05,040
Speaker 5: But uh, you know, I tend to find myself in

1293
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:08,640
Speaker 5: social situations with a lot of people looking to have

1294
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 5: a good time. And much like this place, I tend

1295
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 5: to find myself cooking a bunch. So I party with it,

1296
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 5: you know, smoke some, I smoke some party with some.

1297
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 6: No, I share it around for sure, I give.

1298
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 5: I'll give a fair bit away too, you know, because

1299
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 5: I do catch a little bit of fish where I'm

1300
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 5: at as well.

1301
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 1: So my fir when I go home, that one of

1302
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: my first things when I go home is I give

1303
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:37,639
Speaker 1: fish to my neighbors, meaning like the houses by my house.

1304
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, so anytime there's there's a big get together, Yeah,

1305
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 5: it's pretty fun to be able to show up with

1306
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 5: a lot of fresh fish or fresh caught fish and

1307
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 5: share it around. That's kind of the best part. Tell

1308
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 5: the stories as you go, you know. But yeah, it

1309
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 5: lasts me the whole you know, especially being up here

1310
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 5: for a couple of weeks to come home with a

1311
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 5: fair bit it'll it'll last the whole year. I think

1312
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 5: I got a few packs from last year that I'm

1313
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 5: just gonna get through right as I get home and

1314
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 5: maybe change the date and pass those out.

1315
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, let me tell you hot to.

1316
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: I don't date anything anymore because when you date it,

1317
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,559
Speaker 1: it starts people start being prejudiced against it, even when

1318
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm out of town. So if I'm out of town

1319
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 1: right and someone at home, they're like, once you put

1320
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: the dates on there, they're wondering about it.

1321
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 6: You're locked in.

1322
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like, oh, that's from. I don't put any

1323
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 1: date on anything, man, I when I look, I know

1324
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:38,680
Speaker 1: when it's from, because like, oh that's from. I know,

1325
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:40,920
Speaker 1: but no one needs to know. And when I give

1326
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:42,680
Speaker 1: someone a pack it of something, I don't need them

1327
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 1: wondering about it. Yeah, you know what I mean, because

1328
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 1: like a piece of deer meat. I mean, this is

1329
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 1: a controversial statement. A piece of deer meat that's been

1330
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 1: saran wrapped and freezer paper wrapped and kept in a

1331
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,400
Speaker 1: deep freeze for two years ain't no different than a

1332
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:58,759
Speaker 1: piece of deer meat in three months. It just isn't,

1333
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:01,640
Speaker 1: I agree. Different. Now we're not saying the same thing

1334
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: about the salmon.

1335
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 8: I didn't find the limit on red meat though I

1336
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 8: came across.

1337
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 10: Uh.

1338
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:10,719
Speaker 8: I came across the roast that had been in my freezer.

1339
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 8: I don't know how I missed it, man, because I'm

1340
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 8: really diligent about managing my freezer. But I found a

1341
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 8: piece of meat that was five years old. Something had happened. Yeah,

1342
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 8: I just lost track of it, you know, No, I

1343
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 8: mean something had happened to it. Oh oh yeah, so yeah,

1344
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 8: I did a fool proof roast recipe. You know, I

1345
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:33,639
Speaker 8: just put I put some rub on it, and I

1346
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 8: seared it in the pan and popped it in the

1347
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 8: oventil it's like one hundred and twenty in the middle,

1348
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:38,600
Speaker 8: and pulled it out, let it cool and siced it

1349
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:41,799
Speaker 8: up and it looked great. But it like the muscle structure,

1350
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 8: it just like was mushy and it just didn't it

1351
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 8: was gross. You know, five years got it?

1352
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what you should do is go in and

1353
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: label them five years later, eat now from the future.

1354
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 6: One thing I do, yeah.

1355
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 11: Eat yeah, eat bye, best consumed and mark it out

1356
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 11: five years four years. Yeah, because when you look at it,

1357
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 11: when you look at some old ass can that you

1358
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 11: found out your cab and it doesn't say when they

1359
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 11: made it, this is when you should.

1360
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 1: Eat it by it. Yeah, that's a new way to date.

1361
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 5: One thing I do when I'm unpacking, too, is any

1362
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 5: of the seals that have.

1363
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 2: Popped, I go back and reseal and I'll.

1364
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:23,720
Speaker 5: Tell you when you reseal a frozen piece of fish

1365
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 5: gets tight.

1366
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. That's a good tip. When I get home, invariably

1367
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 1: you got bat bags that. Yeah. I have a bunch

1368
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:34,599
Speaker 1: of different theories out. My latest theory is something about

1369
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: being in the cargo hold. Oh for sure, in the

1370
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 1: air the cargo hold in the airplane does something to

1371
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 1: back like it ruins a lot of seals on back bags.

1372
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 1: I just cut it open. I cut the top off

1373
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 1: and stick the bag right into a bag and resapp

1374
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:47,720
Speaker 1: and oh you keep.

1375
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 2: You don't even get rid of the bag, so you

1376
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 2: reseal it in the bag.

1377
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 1: This was let's say this was a back bag. I

1378
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:58,599
Speaker 1: would just go with a pair of scissors and slide

1379
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: it into a bag. A lot of times the label

1380
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 1: shows right, you don't even need to relabel it, but

1381
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: you don't label it. No, I'd label what it is.

1382
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 1: I want to know what it is. I know when

1383
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 1: it's from names and no names, but not date this

1384
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:17,240
Speaker 1: year with my cut, I'm gonna do something that I

1385
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:18,960
Speaker 1: tried a long time ago. But I tried it with

1386
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: some fish that have gotten skanky, Like like I had

1387
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:25,920
Speaker 1: some cod, a big cod from long million years ago.

1388
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:28,720
Speaker 1: I had a big cod that got to the point

1389
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 1: where I was like, eh, you know, you know you

1390
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: don't want to open it up. You know when you

1391
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 1: open it up. Another thing about long term fish freeze

1392
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,599
Speaker 1: and get the skin off Oh yeah, yeah, I've been

1393
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 1: pretty good about that. If you want it, if you're

1394
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 1: gonna if you're not gonna eat at megafresh, skin it

1395
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 1: except for salmon, then you gotta scrape and wash it.

1396
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:49,759
Speaker 1: You gotta get slam off. Like yesterday I was playing

1397
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:53,800
Speaker 1: I was playing a king that Luisa caught, and you

1398
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 1: were saying, scrape. Oh, I forgot it helps a ton

1399
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: and you just scrape all that slam off. I then

1400
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:02,080
Speaker 1: once you said it, I kind of took my I

1401
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: scraped and took my rubber glove in the hose and

1402
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,640
Speaker 1: just washed him till he was like sand, you know

1403
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:08,400
Speaker 1: what I mean. Almost kind of a lot of the

1404
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 1: scales came off. I was cleaning it. So good to

1405
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 1: get all that slam off because we used to skin

1406
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 1: we used to freeze hal but skin on not good.

1407
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:19,519
Speaker 1: Not scraped, Well that's you've got a lot. Yeah, it

1408
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 1: even turns brown like the not good skank to link.

1409
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, some link gets skanky. Last year you're an

1410
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:31,200
Speaker 1: orange slimy. Yeah, it got real bad.

1411
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 5: It all starts here. You really have to scrape and

1412
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:37,800
Speaker 5: wash them. Slime it transfers down the line.

1413
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 1: Another long term freezing thing is on your shrimp when

1414
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 1: you hit them. You got to clean that mm hmm.

1415
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 1: You gotta clean that little uh that junction all because

1416
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 1: I think he's get when you tear it, it get

1417
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 1: some kind of digestive fluid from the little orange wash

1418
01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: that not you pull that shrimp out and that turns

1419
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,639
Speaker 1: brown that face. But the more you remember how long

1420
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: ron late and to make you wash them for it? Yeah, yeah,

1421
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 1: he's like you'd be out there like an hour and

1422
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: wash the shrimp. Yeah, clockwise clockwise. That's the wrong way.

1423
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:12,679
Speaker 1: I don't don't swirl the counter.

1424
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 5: A lot of people that freeze them in water. We

1425
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 5: don't have that luxury here because you don't want to

1426
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 5: lug all that weight. Well, actually vacuum see them in

1427
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 5: so they're just in a block of ice.

1428
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 6: I can picture that, and they hold.

1429
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:26,680
Speaker 1: Up pretty good. But t s they don't like that

1430
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 1: either water. Uh. Anyway, I tried to support what I

1431
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:33,320
Speaker 1: was trying to get to is salt cod. So I

1432
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 1: tried to make salt cod with a piece of cod

1433
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 1: that was already of questionable. Uh date this year, I'm

1434
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 1: going to go home immediately and make some I'm gonna

1435
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 1: go home immediately and make take my cod and make

1436
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of salt cod. But I can then re

1437
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:50,799
Speaker 1: you know, do like the French salt cod preparation.

1438
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's an old, old before refrigeration.

1439
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and then you and I. But I used

1440
01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 1: to order that, like in restaurants in New York. I

1441
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:00,120
Speaker 1: used to order the salt cod.

1442
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,640
Speaker 5: Run run dot or like a yeah, it's kind of

1443
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 5: what is it like mix it with mashed potatoes.

1444
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:07,680
Speaker 1: It was an old you bring it back, yeah, you

01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 1: kind of bring it back to life. Or you had

1446
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: a song. Now that it's the year of the cod,
