WEBVTT - Ep. 69: Bear Grease [Render] - Possum Tattoos, The Bargain Barn, and Holt Collier 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:17.080 My name is Clay and Nucleman. This is a production 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.680 of the bear Grease podcast called The Bear Grease Render 0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:25.160 where we render down, dive deeper, and look behind the 0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:30.040 scenes of the actual bear Grease podcast, presented by f 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:35.320 HF Gear, American made purpose built hunting and fishing gear 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:39.280 that's designed to be as rugged as the places we explore. 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:48.000 Did Isaac get new boots? And what's happening to Brent's feet? 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:53.880 Let's start with Isaac. I'm new boot. Those are those 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:58.200 are different than the ones before? Wow, they've got some 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.200 kind of metallic kind of looks like Allard Metallica. Well, 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.440 I'll tell you what happened. I was at the Delta 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:08.080 Waterfowl Expo and Little Rock and I straight surfed across 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.039 the bathroom floor. There was a layer of moisture that 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.880 I hope was from a recent mopping, but I doubt 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.319 and just stop myself by banging my shins right into 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.399 the jurnal because I had I had leather leather sole 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:25.440 boots on, so I went for the hybrid ub So 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.600 we'll see. Those are what we'd call rough out boots, 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.960 you know that, Miss Nukem sir Okay, So there's two 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:35.880 sides to leather. There's the smooth finish side and there's 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.440 the rough out, so those would be rough out. Nice, nice, Isaac. 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:45.720 Now let's talk about branch. What's happening. You don't know 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.200 where your Crocs were. I was trying to figure out 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.160 why you own them. Somebody gave them to me. Those 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.600 are very popular, they say, hey, dude, hey, dude, dudes. 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.640 I believe they are now owned by Crocs, so technically 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.440 on brand for Brent Reeves. I don't know. They just 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.520 they have a funny look with your your overall is 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:12.679 They're not funny look funny funny to carry about other 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.120 people a little more diplomatic. Okay, all right, I am 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:20.400 wearing muddy rubber boots. Welcome to the bar, Gary surrender. 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.720 This is uh, this is a fantastic day.

Yeah, 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.760 with those, we gotta skip over our guests. But he's 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:38.720 got a nice solid pair of Brogrand type brown boots. 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.640 Misty's wearing her extra tough rubber boots, which is great. 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.080 Isaac with his rough outs and Gary Nucomb with his 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.960 Sportivas trail running shoes.

To your right, 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:14.560 Isaac Neil, assistant to the regional producer with the Burgers podcast. 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.400 Glad you got to see me today. Good to see you, man, 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.880 Isaac's Isaac tells me today that he's got an appointment 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:22.960 for a new tattoo. You want to share with us 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.880 what that tattoo is? Mrs gonna maybe give me a 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.919 little bit of credit for it. Yeah, by all means, 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.239 Mry's gonna love this too, because I had this and 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.639 that there is some level of planning on this one. 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.880 I had it. I had the idea yesterday morning during 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:41.440 church and the tattoo artist, but I thought, I don't 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.720 know what about church inspired it, but I just popped 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.400 into my head. You know, I want to get a 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.240 possum in raccoon, So I think I'm going to get 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:48.960 a big possum and a raccoon on the backs of 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:53.240 my list. Why but these are like the creatures that 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:58.720 that are the worst. That's what raccoon they eat my 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.360 chickens about it. This is a great example of how 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.840 perspective informs someone like now, a raccoon to me is 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.800 one of the greatest beasts in North America. Chickens. But 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:12.120 that is why I like chickens, is because raccoons eat them. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.680 That's very interesting. I don't know if it's appropriate. Well, 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.400 Clay's got a good possum story if he if he 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:23.479 feels up to sharing it. Part two. I just because 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.120 Isaac said, Missy's gonna love this. I want to make 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.960 it clear I don't have a problem with Isaac getting tattoos. 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.000 The thing that is really Misty's a principal, so she 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:38.760 feels like she could well let talk. We stop saying that. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.840 But I think what makes me nervous is that Isaac 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.960 gets tattoos sometimes without a lot of premeditation. And from 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.360 my perspective, these are your fraid he's gonna run out 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.839 of space. No, I'm concerned about These are lifelong commitments 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.960 to your skin. And it's just like how can you 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.280 make a decision like that that's so consequential. I think 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.360 he is in Yeah, I think he woul come back 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.000 to the possum story and I want to hear a 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.320 little bit more about why the possum. But to your 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.200 We're gonna skip over our guests as we do. Brent Reeves, 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.200 great to see you, Hello, And then to your left 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:14.279 is my friend Jonathan Wilkins. Jonathan, great to have you 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:19.719 on the Burger Surrender. Thank you much. Tattoos. I've always 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:24.720 loved some of Jonathan's tattoos. You gotta this, Yeah, let 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.040 me see. Let me see. He's got a beautiful rooster tail. 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.520 The fish is pretty. And then a picture of your mom. 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.640 How cool is that? This dog with the mustache is pretty. 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.960 Sport got a dog with a big mustache. Let me 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.000 see the dog with a mustache, the picture of his mom. 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:40.839 It looks like, Yeah, I saw that was when that 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.760 he had that. That was like when the first ones 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.120 I ever saw him. That's like twenty years old. Yeah, 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.720 capture your mom and like, like, I mean, I assume 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.000 she's aged in the last twenty years. Yeah, she was. 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.400 She was not crazy about it at first, not because 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.640 she was upset about the tattoo, but because she had 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:05.039 last is on and she had gotten Lasik. But you know, now, 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.240 this is what she looked like twenty years ago, so 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.599 she's all about it. Just what do you think. I 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.359 know that Lasik has developed a lot in the last 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.120 few years. Do you think there's a potential for Lasik 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:21.839 on tattoos? Do you think the tattoo can get late? Oh? Yeah, 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.440 I think that's a ridiculous question. YEA, Well, I was 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.359 just curious how much forethought Jonathan put into his tattoos, 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.880 as as opposed to her friend Isaac, who sometimes just 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.279 are you still in the tattoo market, Jonathan? Uh, yeah, 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.000 I've got a few that I I plan on getting 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.600 once my buddy opens up his new shop. Yeah, I 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.479 think I've I've thought about all of them for a 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.840 long time, and then I went I went seven years 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.240 without getting one. I was shooting. I haven't gotten a 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:50.520 tattoo and probably three years. Yeah, I'm cool with having 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.240 weird tattoos. I just you just want to think about it. Yeah, 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.320 And you know, I had some bad ideas when I 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.560 was younger that I'm glad I didn't. I didn't go 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.560 with Yeah, I try. I try to takes like a 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.240 real win when like ten years later you're like, I'm 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.440 glad I didn't do that. I mean, it feels like 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:07.599 you can look back on your past self and be 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.080 kind of like proud of how wise you were even 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.480 in the midst of a bad decision. Maybe there's there's 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.360 some conversation that we had about the tattoos you didn't get, 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.840 and now how that's like a credit to pretty much 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:23.600 the story of my life. It's just a constant tattoos 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.360 didn't get. Do you have the tattoos? Be honest, I 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:32.200 have one? Do you really sinking ship sunk? I guess 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:38.120 we just got Yeah, and it was an undercover tattoo. 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.360 Let me see it's Batman in the middle. Can you say, 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.120 did you really get that while you were undercoverage? And 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:49.840 it's Batman the symbol? Rent? So wow, Brent, Tattoos as 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.240 good a friends as we are brand I'm I've never 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.720 seen your arm up that, huh. I don't. I don't 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:58.600 like showing the white parts of me anyway. You know. Anyway, 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:05.400 when ride along Tattoosy Gary, you want to go with 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:09.040 me on Friday? No, yeah, Matt, you could get a 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.920 possum in a coon. Yeah, I'll get and you get 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.120 the he's a black pantherom man. You know, when I 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.960 was when I was young, we used to joke around about, 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.480 you know, getting one tattoo, like in a place where 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.560 no one else would ever see it in a few 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.040 of my buddies did. But back then took tattoos. You know, 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.760 people just didn't get them, like the real rebels got tattoos. 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.360 I didn't know anybody with tattoos, so I guess I 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.040 didn't know when he was in the service, you know, 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:37.560 I mean, you know, I mean, I didn't go around 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:41.640 looking at people did Houston tattoos? You know, the World 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.480 War Two guys had uh anchors and mom and stuff 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:51.400 when they came back. But Houston taston heads. My grandfather tattoo. 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:55.240 I didn't know about it. Anybody was thinking tattoos. I 0:08:55.280 --> 0:09:08.280 wonder about their stability. Example three on three here, it's 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:12.520 really new comes versus tattoos. Yeah, okay, let me well, okay, Isaac, 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.480 why the possum and coon? I just like the idea 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.440 of the miso predators getting some love. So you're okay 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.880 with a tattoo that has that little meaning to it. 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:23.600 What do you mean why do they have to have meaning? 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.360 I mean, that's what I'm talking about. That's great, It's okay. 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:30.000 I like a raccoon. I like, I like grammar could 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.959 put some meaning on it this period in your life 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.240 while you were you know. Yeah, for me, the tattoo 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.920 will always mean that. At this point in my life, 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.559 I was thinking about getting a possum and a raccoon 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:46.120 tattooed on me to remember that. Yeah, I don't know. 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.360 I like it feels verreos archy in to me. So 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.880 here's the possum story told. I've told this twice this week, 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.680 and it wasn't told it originally to be funny. It 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.920 was literally told as a means to explain the people 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.400 in my house and the man that was staying in 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.520 our barn, why something happened that potentially they saw, and 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.520 just to be just totally disclosing. It's not like we 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.840 often have been just staying in our barn, Like, that's 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:19.240 not a yeah, we didn't find him out. So the 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.600 other night I hear I hear dogs barking, and I 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:26.400 don't tolerate barking dogs, and so they wake me up, 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.560 and I think they're gonna stop. Shortly, they don't stop. 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:35.320 They continue bark, bark, barking. It's Jed and Tim, Tim 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.360 the squirrel dog, Jed the coon dog. They bark so 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.720 much that finally I get up and I'm angry. And 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.720 usually I just lift the window in the bedroom and oh, 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:48.080 you ought to hear me my dog scolden voice. It's 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.600 scare a child. Often the dogs don't wake me up, 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.160 but always the dog's colding does. Yeah. And so I 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.160 wasn't I was so fired up. I wasn't even gonna 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.240 just open the window. I was gonna go downstairs and 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.760 go on the front porch and scold the dogs, you know, 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.559 just like h and uh. But about halfway down the stairs, 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:09.640 I realized they're not just joy barking. They're treeing something like. 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.600 I'm like, they're looking at something. Wait, can we pause 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.520 this real quick? I got a question? Can we do 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.520 a how to video on how to scold the dog 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:21.880 in the middle of the way to do it? That works? 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.120 And a dog and an animal can read intent. So 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.440 I've got another story about that too. Um. The so 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.880 I walk outside and I think those dogs are treat 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.440 and so I go from anger to a little bit 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.320 of excitement. I wonder what's in the tree. So I 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.080 walk out, and sure enough I see Jet and Tim 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.440 just treeing on one of our apple trees. And I 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.080 know that they're looking at something, and I'm like, what's 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.679 in the tree. And I happened to be in my 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:51.760 underwear and barefoot, and then we happen to have a guest. Yeah, 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.400 so there's my buddy is staying over in the barn. 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.520 So the window of the barn looks right over the 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.360 apple orchard. Well, I've got my coon light on, and 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.560 I walk out in the grass barefoot and my underwear 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.480 and go and start circling this apple tree looking for 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.600 what's in the tree. Just want a pause, so that 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:13.600 everyone's got this coon hat, coon light. Yes, And so 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:17.400 I look up in the tree and there's a possum 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.679 about twelve foot up in the tree and the dogs 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.680 are just looking at it, just tree in this possum. Well, 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.160 I decide that the only way I'm gonna get rid 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.560 of this possum. And you know, we possums were bad 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.000 news on this farm, so I was gonna shake this 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:31.880 possum ount. I'll just be honest with you, that's what 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.120 I was gonna do. I shook the apple tree and 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.959 nothing fell but apples. And so I think, man, if 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.080 I can just crawl up this tree a little ways, 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.880 I can grab that limb and I'll just I'll just 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.880 shake that sucker down. And so there's a fork in 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.720 the tree and I reach up and grabbed the tree 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:50.439 and I go to climb in this apple tree. Now 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.200 remember I'm in my underwear, and I have my Sunspot 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.880 coon light, which are going to be for sale on 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.640 the meat eatrew dot com soon. For real. You can 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.120 get a coon light just like me and have best 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.760 light in the world. I've got it on, and I 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:07.080 go to climbing this apple tree barefoot. And I get 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.000 like a way up in the top of this apple tree, 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.800 and the possum just disappears into the stars, like I 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.360 don't know where he goes. This isn't a big apple 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:20.480 tree there. I once heard someone tell his story about 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.920 how that they that like a slick tree, like when 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.280 a dog trees and there's nothing in the tree that 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.880 like the animal escaped into the stars and their dog 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.319 was still their tree, and that's what happened. I get 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:33.880 up to the top of the apple tree. I cannot 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.480 find the possum. I don't know what happened to him. Well, 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:38.920 so I decided that I've got to get down from 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.280 the tree. And I don't have my contacts in and 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.600 I'm barefoot. I don't know if you ever climbed apple 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:47.000 tree barefoot, But my foot is crammed down and the 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:50.160 crotch of this tree so deep that I can't get 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.880 it out. And so I'm like hanging and I feel 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.720 like I've got to like jump backwards just to land, 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.200 and my foot is stuck in the crotch of this tree. 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.360 And I think I'm gonna come out of back out 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.000 of this tree backwards, and my foot is gonna stay 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.440 in this tree and I'm gonna break my ankle in 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:10.280 this apple tree. So basically I just have this big 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.760 kerfuffle coming out of the tree, and uh. And I 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.680 finally I feel like I'm like eight foot off the ground, 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.360 and I finally just go I got I'm just gonna 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.560 have to go up and then back and just like 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.920 jump out. And when I go up and back and 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.200 jump out, I was like six inches off the ground 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.200 and then I kind of shined up towards where the 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.120 window was where my but he was staying to see 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.080 if he was watching me, and he wasn't. And then 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:35.720 I just walked back in the house and the dogs 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:39.440 were happy with that. They never saw the possum, didn't 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.360 come down, but the dogs were just like, yeah, that's 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:47.840 good enough. So you're telling me about this magic animal 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.680 that can right off into the stars, and You're like, 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.440 why would you get a tattoo of that creature? And 0:14:53.440 --> 0:15:01.200 I'm like, why wouldn't you get creatures? Yeah, awesome, Brent. 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.600 I've got another story for you that I haven't told you. 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:08.480 I had to leave my dogs out overnight this week. Well, 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.080 I went on a coon hunt. Wasn't planning to go, 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.760 didn't have everything charged up really great because I hadn't 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:16.920 been in a while, and I plugged it in for 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.160 the last hour before before dark, and I went out 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.360 and I took fern jed and Hoot the pup hoot 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.800 and um. We went and treat and a treat in 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.800 a spot where I don't think they had the coon. 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:30.800 I couldn't find the coon, but it was thick and 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.240 bining and and so we made a big loop and 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.840 came around on the other side of the property and 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:41.560 the dogs, Ferns collar went dead. Jed didn't have a 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.040 collar because I only have two collars right now, and 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.280 who stayed with me? So Fern and Jed go off 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.720 and Ferns collar dies, and I'm up at the foot 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.280 of this mountain and I hear like, I can't hear 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.320 the dogs. And finally I'd say that for like forty 0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.160 five minutes or an hour, I can't hear the dogs. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.240 And I walked back to the truck like half a 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.600 mile and I can hear firm tread way back in there, 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:10.120 but I don't have the collar is dead and U. 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.320 And then when I walked towards her, when I got 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.400 to the foot of the mountain, I couldn't hear her. 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.480 And I can't course the dog because of a bad ear. 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.360 So three different times I tried to walk to her 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.440 and never could. Like I would just start walking to 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:31.120 her and I would lose her, and then I'd come 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.480 back like the way the truck set, you know, I 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.360 could hear. And finally at two am, I just left 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.480 and I left her tread. I could hear her treating 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.160 I mean, like my you know, three quarters of a 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.160 mile away. I could not find her. Came back at 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:49.760 daylight and she wasn't there. And long story short, about 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:51.960 ten o'clock they showed up at the farmer's house I 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:55.960 was hunting on. So that's my story. I mean, if 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.280 you were using the Leon Boyd technique, you would have 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.640 never lost him. Stayed with them. Just take off sprint. 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.680 Ye look like a fallen man. You just gotta make 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:06.879 it a habit as soon as you get home. I 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.480 don't care if it's nine o'clock at night or nine 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.000 in the morning. As soon as you get the house, 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:13.920 you got to put that stuff on the charge because 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.959 I've been right there, will you. I know it. And 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:18.919 the whole deal as you go to that dog to 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.640 get out there because you she went and did what 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:24.120 you wanted to do. Yeah, and you gotta go to her. 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.560 We're gonna we're gonna talk about whole caller, but before 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.840 we do, Brent. Brent pulled something out of his pocket 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.359 today that shocked me. Brent, What do you have in 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.040 your pocket? What do you carry in your pocket? And 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.239 tell the story behind my whole all everything, or just 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:44.719 this one maybe two? Well, I took two pocket knives 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:51.200 and chapstick and a buckeye and this buck I've had 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:54.000 since the first meeting you and I had, we went 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.399 on top of the mountain on a bear hunt. We 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.280 were we were side seating at that time, and there 0:17:58.320 --> 0:17:59.720 was a bunch of buck eyes up there, and I 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.200 asked if you knew about guys being good luck for hunters, 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.360 and you said no, you hadn't heard that story. Now 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.399 that's not true, Gary, I blame you for that. Now 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.600 that is an outright live I rejected, because we carried 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:13.879 buck eyes our whole You're the one the top of 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:15.439 that was a kid. That part of the story is 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:19.240 not true. That that part may not have been true anyway, 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:21.560 I said, the only way these can be good luck 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.000 is if you one gives them to another that I 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.840 wouldn't know. And you said, well here, so I handed 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:29.520 you one, and you handed me one. And this is 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:31.119 the one that you gave me. And I've carried it 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:36.920 in my pocket every day where everywhere when I get it, 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:39.679 if I leave the house with my breeches on, unlike 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.879 you know the possible, I've got this bucket in my 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:46.760 pocket uniform back when I wore a uniform from going 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:53.240 to church whatever, I've always got that. So you were 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:56.480 that undercover was before that one correct. But I had 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.439 one day because my dad had given it to me, 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.520 and I had we exchange my whole life back and forth, 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:06.200 and then they would just absolutely turned to the dust. Impressive. 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:09.400 And then you have a a quarter that your wife 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:12.520 gave you. It's a dollar, Okay, it's one of those. 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:20.240 Uh was that second? You will a dollar? And she said, 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:21.920 you know, it would help me find my way back 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.920 home always be if I'm in the woods, it would 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:29.440 help me get home. So I care that my pocket too, Jonathan. 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.159 Would you have the wherewithal to keep up with something 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:37.720 for like ten years a buckeye? I wouldn't. I probably not. 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:40.760 So if I had given you a buckeye ten years ago, 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.920 you'd probably lost it through. Yeah, I'm not as romantic 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:50.800 as nude. I've got a pretty good buckeye story. So 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:55.040 we Clay wanted to plant all native plants out here 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.200 when we first moved out here, so we planned some buckeyes, 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.359 and the girls were really fascinated. If you've ever seen 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:02.040 how a buckeye girls, it's pretty interesting. Right now, They're 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.480 all spiky and then they fall down and we would 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.000 just our girls. Even River came home last fall and 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.600 she just like instinctively just started collecting them all and 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:11.680 put them in a vase in our our living room. 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.439 They just always would carry them around. River was a 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:18.200 real funny girl. We would go places and Willow would 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:20.960 always be focused on getting getting the job done, getting 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:23.720 from point A to point B. River. You would turn 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:25.919 around and she would be about a mile behind us, 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.119 just picking things up, seeing all sorts of things that 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.520 we missed along the way, and putting them in her pockets. 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:32.600 So every time I did her laundry, I had an 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:36.800 empty out, you know, two pounds worth of interesting things. Well, 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:39.280 she was real fascinated with those buck eyes and she 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:41.919 would keep them in her pockets. And you know, I 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:45.000 don't know why people do this, but I get, uh, 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:50.359 real testy around people who narrate the potential doom that 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:54.080 could come that's really unlikely, but could happen. And someone said, 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:56.680 as we were putting River in the car, hey, don't 0:20:56.760 --> 0:21:01.440 let her swallow that it's poisons. And this is a 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:03.919 bucket on the size of like half the size of 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:08.600 a golf ball. May not it's not really a swallow, 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:11.840 it's not. Yeah, But I was a young mom, and 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:13.480 I was like, why would you even put that thought 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:15.840 in my head, and the River was real little, and 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.600 we we put her in the car and we drove 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:20.320 off and we were going to meet. Clay was actually 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.480 behind me. We had two cars and we were meeting 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.919 meeting somewhere, and I had River in the car. I 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:27.800 had my mom in the car. I had Willow in 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:30.800 the car. We're driving and Rivers just playing. Every time 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:32.680 I look back there, she's just playing with this buck eye. 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:34.639 And once I look back there and she doesn't have 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.680 the buckeye, and I said, hey, where's your buckeye? And 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:44.320 she looked and she she got this likely yeah. And 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:46.920 River talked real funny. She had some things going on 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:49.040 with their adenoids, so she had a real deep voice, 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:52.480 and she just got really like scared looking, and she 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:56.760 looked at me and she said, I's wallowed it. And 0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:59.800 I was like, no, it is hollowing, and she said, 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:03.800
