H Hey everybody, Ben O'Brien, I'm 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:20.080 talking uh, Episode two of the Daily THHD podcast. That's 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:21.959 what you're listening to. And it's gonna be awkward for 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.880 me for a while because I am in uh my 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:29.560 child's nursery and I have on on the computer with me, 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.360 Mark Kenyan, say hi, Mark Kenyon, Hi, Mark Kenyon, and 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:37.800 fill the engineer. I am also here where we could 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:42.080 see each other via camera devices attached to our computers, 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.800 and we're speaking into separate microphones. But we're in three 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:50.320 different rooms. Is that correct, boys? True? Uh huh. So 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.880 this is gonna be super awkward, probably not a great podcast, 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:55.680 but we have to do it because I already told 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.560 you guys were gonna do a daily podcast, and so 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.640 here we are. So Mark Kenyan has actually been I 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.160 found out earlier today, living under quarantine for the last 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.800 six years. Yeah, this is no this is no big 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.000 deal for me, man. I'm used to it as a 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:14.960 as a freelance outdoor podcasts or media guy. Right, or 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.280 you basically just live in your house and leave it 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:23.400 only to get food and probably water. Yeah, yeah, hunt 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:29.280 shop and that's about it. But the living the safe lifestyle. 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.880 For a long time, since the fall of two thousand thirteen, 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.360 I've been working at home and my wife started working 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:39.440 at home in two thousand fourteen, so we're experts at 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.519 this whole lifestyle. You could say, oh, that's good, I'm glad, 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.960 I'm happy. Could you just give a few people because 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.760 so it's just so you know, yesterday we recorded uh 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:53.280 episode one of the THHC Daily podcast Quarantine Cast. I've 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.720 been calling it. Do you like that name? Phil? Yeah, 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.720 it's super creative quarantine Cast. It's it's a combination of 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.480 the word podcast and quarantine. Yeah. I was trying to 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.760 think a better option, like like casting team. But that's 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.000 not good. No, that's terrible. Um. Okay, so we're gonna 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:14.200 go with that good self awareness Phil. He's got to 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:18.520 have it around me. He can't not have it. Um. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.760 So we're gonna do a bunch of things. But yesterday 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.120 I was in the actual mediator studio and the Mediator 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.000 offices and um, they kicked us out. So now we 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.799 can't go in. We're we're quarantined from going into the office. 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:32.760 So now we're or on some fancy pants uh computers 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.960 thing called squad cast. H they're not a sponsor, but 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.600 we shut him out anyway, because it's amazing that we 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.120 have this technology, right Mark Kenyon. It's tremendous. It really 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.240 is tremendous, tremendous. But like I tell you, I've been 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.760 you know, so back what we were just talking about 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.400 a second ago. I've been doing these virtual podcasts for 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:55.400 three thirty nine episodes so far, and they're not that awkward. 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.720 So you'll you'll be fine, You'll get through it. I 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.760 don't I don't know what to do with social cues. 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.960 I don't know what to do with my hands. Like, 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.920 I don't have any pants pants. That's exactly what I 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:07.840 was gonna ask. The question is do you have pants? 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.680 Because I went through a huge paradigm shift when I 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:15.560 went from pants lest podcasts to with pants podcasts. Yeah, 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.440 I don't know. I don't know where to put the microphone. 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.560 I don't know whether we're pants and then maybe eventually underwear. 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.479 It's gonna be it's gonna be a challenge. I'm I'm 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.320 I'm concerned both for the quality of the show and 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.400 then just my own mental state. Um, do you have 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.640 any tips? Can you just go through the tips and 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.839 tricks that somebody might use to get through this time 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:38.960 since you've been basically living this exact experience for better 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.760 part of six years. Yeah, you know, in all seriousness, 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.760 probably the biggest thing that I did that helped my 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.479 just effectiveness from a work from home standpoint was when 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:54.880 I shifted from approaching it is like a novelty thing 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.440 too with an approaching like oh no, you're still working. 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.520 So when I first started doing this, I was like, well, 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.120 I'll just wake up whenever I wake up, and I'll 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.400 work when I want. Hey, if I want to take 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.200 a two hour lunch break and watch Game of Thrones, 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:08.960 all right, I'll do that. Um. So that was back 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.640 in two thirteen when I first went full time on 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.479 my own. That doesn't work real well. So what I 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.800 started doing is pretending like I still have to go 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.400 into an office and do all those things. So I 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.880 have like a morning routine. I get up early at 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.039 the time I want to wake up. I do a workout, 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.400 I shower, I eat breakfast. I put on real person clothes. 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:33.080 Just putting on real clothes makes a huge difference. Um, 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:38.400 pajama working from home is at least ten less productive 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:43.840 than regular clothing work from home. So do that. That's uh, 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.800 That's helped me a lot. And then you know, schedule 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.599 as if you really you know, you can take some flexibility, 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.479 but schedule your day still as if you were in 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.240 an office. That helps me. I have a calendar, I 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.160 have it locked down. My wife knows that when it's 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:02.440 regular working hours, I'm going to be doing stuff. Um 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.880 at least, putting those structures in place, I think helps 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:11.680 you avoid the many ah oh temptations. Right, there's temptations 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.040 when you're working at home that you just wouldn't otherwise have. 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.520 But I will also tell you that working from home, 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.920 I feel like I have a lot less distractions compared 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:22.640 to some offices too. Like when I come into the 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.039 mediator office, I always wonder, like, how do you guys 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:29.000 get anything done because you're constantly talking and stuff. I 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.320 just sit in my office all by myself all day, 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.960 and I'm pretty darn good, I guess when I don't 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:38.000 have anyone to chat with. So definitely, you've definitely been 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:39.840 living the quarantine life, Like how do you get things 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.760 done when you've been talking and interacting with other actual 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.320 humans that have different life experiences than you. What a 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:52.359 weird experience, very weird. That's not too bad. So you 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.440 told me you're gonna on your social media. You're gonna 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:58.760 share some tricks and tips for being alone. Um, because 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.840 you're an expert, an expert on being alone. Yes, that is. 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.320 My wife and I are hermits by nature, so this 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.440 fits right into our whole grand plan. Good all right, Well, 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.880 before we get going, Phil, can you give us just 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:15.880 your feelings about the quarantine and what are your emotions. 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.880 People are going to be looking to you, filthy engineer, 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.400 to to to really lead them emotionally, mentally, maybe even 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.760 physically eventually to Uh that's just that's just poor decision making. 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.440 Well that's it's not their fault. You have reached an 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.360 into their hearts and minds and captivated them. So could 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:38.760 you please just kind of give everybody a pep talk? Yeah, well, 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:43.559 I just want to say that, Um, you know I 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.480 I love my children. Let me just start off by 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:52.120 saying that beautiful novel. Um, you know, loving change my 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.600 life in so many positive ways. I've just been kind 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:59.320 of imagining this quarantine though. Um. Uh, if I if 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:03.200 I didn't have children and all the man all the TV, 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.920 I'd be watching all the all the movies and games 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:11.800 I'd be playing. Uh, quarantining with with with children is 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:16.679 a completely different experience. My kid. Uh. The Governor Steve 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:23.000 Bullock of Montana just just canceled school for two weeks. Um. Um. 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:24.600 I think feel like it's only a matter of time 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.920 before my my youngest daycare gets canceled as well. So uh, 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.480 you know when when when when you're hunkered down with 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:36.160 your family, um for multiple days, it's a it's a 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.840 it's an experience. It definitely shows you what you're made 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:44.920 out of. Um. And you know, I'll check back within 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:46.920 these daily podcasts to let you know how I'm doing, 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.120 how I'm I'm holding up, and I'm sure you guys 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.559 will too. Yeah. No, it's good. I mean, there's it's 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:54.560 I like to joke. It's hard for me to be 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:58.600 serious sometimes. But this is a weird, a weird time. 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.760 We I just went out to we went into the 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.400 office to gather our things, um for the last time 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.839 for a while, and then I took my family out 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:12.679 to eat to breakfast and it was awkward. People I 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:16.440 didn't want to be near each other. People didn't like 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.480 it's people were looking or had It's almost like they 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:25.040 had a measuring tape for six ft. You know, social 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.640 distancing being what it is. And so it's just it's 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:32.800 just it. After all this is over, I imagine that 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:34.920 we will look at our daily lives, the things in 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.160 our lives that probably we took for granted, right sitting 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.719 in traffic, or going to work and being annoyed by 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.959 the guy that's sitting next to you, or or thanks 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:50.720 Mark Kenyan has no idea about, uh go standing in 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.080 line for coffee without having to worry about who's around 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.000 you or how close to you they are. Um, all 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:57.839 those little things. I hope that we can go through 0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.880 this time, do what we gotta do to get around 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:04.360 and above this pandemic, and then go back to to real, 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.640 real normal life, but then be able to look back 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.520 at this and say, man, I appreciate the little things 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:15.040 going to the grocery store and feeling calm or you 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.679 know anything. Folks in New York City can't even go 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.400 out to a restaurant or a bar at this point. 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.920 Um are closed today fifteen minutes ago for the rest 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.640 of however long. Yeah, here in Michigan. So it's it's uh, 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.440 we're all gonna be okay. As as somebody told me 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.920 earlier to day via text, Um, you know, we're being 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.079 called on to sit on our couches and we can 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.400 all do that, but there's also people that work hourly, 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:48.200 there's people that have jobs that um have international distribution channels. 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.679 There's so many things that this affects. And UM, you know, 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.280 my heart goes out of everybody that whose lives this 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:59.240 is either made very very hard or completely um destroyed 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.200 or thrown out there for however long this lasts. So 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.000 hopefully you can come out to THHC on a daily 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.760 basis and get some good hunting stories and some randomness 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.520 and and um escape from it just for a little bit. 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.160 And that's that's all we can really offer at this 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.400 this point. And if I got to do it from 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.559 my kids nursery, which is where I'm at right now, 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.640 that's what I'll do. And Yeah, I think I think 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.280 that perspective is super important, that like we're all lucky 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.280 enough to be able to be able to do this 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.200 when they're Yeah, just like you said, there's so many 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:34.200 service industry workers and that you know, are ey're gonna 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.560 lose their jobs or just have an incredible amount of 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.880 uncertainty over the next few months. Uh, And I can't 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:44.800 even imagine what's what that's like. So you know, um, yeah, 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.160 so well, yeah, I just personally, I just appreciate it 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.240 everyone who's still out there grinding and making a living 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.600 and just trying their best. So we're gonna do some 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.839 crazy things this week and next week for you. UM. 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.480 One of them, I've decided, Mark, I want to get 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.920 your opinion do this. I've decided to do a contest 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.960 because folks that know lately I've really got addicted to contests. 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.760 I might need help. Are you addicted to trying to 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.680 get people partaking your contests? I think that's what you're doing. 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:16.439 But are you also participating in other people's contests? No? No, 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:22.360 just my contests? But I would, I could, I could. 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.360 I'm addicted to giving things away. I just want to 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.120 give everything I see. I'm like, I'll give it away. 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.480 I give you, give it away to everybody. I don't care. 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.440 I'm addicted to. It feels so good. Um, but we 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.160 have to do we have to go over one the 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.080 last give away from our episode one hundred. I wanted 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:39.480 to do it in a different way than what we're 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.960 doing now. But Um, from episode one hundred, we did 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.360 four giveaways. This is our last one. We have to announce. 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:48.920 But before that, I have an idea, mark and I 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.360 want to see you have a child, you like to 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:55.720 hunt turkeys. I want to see your thoughts whether this 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.440 is a good idea. I thought that I we would 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.200 do a hand draw if you look at the screen 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.160 there or hand drawn turkey contest. You know how you 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.600 draw a turkey with your hand? Trace your hand? Yeah? 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.720 I do that all time. Yeah. I thought we would 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:12.160 have everybody do one. And then however you make it 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.199 whatever the background is, you decorate the turkey, give it 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.920 a personality, to give it a name. Uh, draw the background. 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:23.920 So anybody can participate in this, children, adults, young adults, 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.400 young children, it doesn't matter. Get a hand and a pencil. 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.880 You're good to go. Um and that will get as 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.360 many people to draw that and the most creative one 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.319 wins some awesome prize. You feel like that's a good idea. 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.160 I like it. I got a friend who was missing 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:41.160 one of his fingers, though, so will he be penalized 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.600 in any kind of way if he draws like a 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.480 gimpy fanless turkey or anything like that. No, let me 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.439 tell you when. Well, here's a story that will help 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.560 that out. When I was a kid, I was in 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:55.600 like the third grade, we had a contest to draw 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.319 draw a constellation of our own. Right, they give you 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.120 a piece of paper with a bunch of dots it 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.040 that are supposed to be stars, And my dad got 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.480 ahold of that, and we then you had to write 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.720 a story about what that constellation meant. So I got 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:11.760 this hold of this constellation. I started drawing a beaver 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.680 on this constantly had a tail the whole beaver body. 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.560 But I didn't have enough stars to draw through four 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.680 legs on the beaver. I can only draw one leg 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.840 with the amount of stars that I had. So my 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.600 dad and I wrote a story called you Know the 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:31.040 One Legged Beaver to go along with this constellation. The 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.160 story was that that the you know the beaver was 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.560 swimming out in a lake and it got really cold. 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.760 A blizzard came in and got really cold. Three of 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.880 his legs were frozen in the ice and he had 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.040 to chew off those three legs to survive and then 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.760 swim back to shore with just the one leg. Um. 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.840 So for yeah, unbelievable tale. So for your for your buddy, 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.640 that's her. He can have as many feathers as he 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.840 has fingers. It's all about how you make what you 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.440 make what you can from the circumstances you're given. So 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.680 I'm putting out there we'll talk more about that contest 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.520 coming up. What do you I'll I'm gonna figure out 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.560 something out really cool, hopefully some first light gear. I 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.680 was thinking, I haven't talked the first Light about this, 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.440 so this was They're gonna be probably mad at me, 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:15.240 but hey, it's quarantine time. We tell here what's new. 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.480 We take? Uh, we take a first light jacket, a 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.800 first light puffy jacket or or whatever say it, say 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:28.280 it Brooks down or um, any kind of any kind 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.960 of jacket that you would normally wear, and and on 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.360 the back, you know how, say like sliced alone in 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.440 the in the first Rocky movie he had those like 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.240 Italian leather jackets with a big tiger on the back. 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.320 I'm thinking we would take the turkey drawling and have 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.520 it have its screen printed on the back, a really 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:48.240 big like that tiger. No better way to increase value 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.440 than a really nice Brooks jacket than screen printed turkey 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:55.840 on the back. Huh. I mean, I don't. I don't 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.600 know why you wouldn't do that. Who wouldn't want that? 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.840 I don't know why. I don't know why you wouldn't 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:02.840 want to do that. I that's how I feel. So 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:04.760 I just want to I just want an audience of 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:08.080 one here, uh where you tell me what you think 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.280 about this idea. Yeah, I give you two thumbs up. 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.040 I'm a big fan. My son will submit a turkey drone. 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.520 Oh alright, I like it, all right, and if I win, 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.360 damn it. I want the screen printed turkey on my jacket. 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:21.920 I Like I said, I have no way of knowing 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.800 or the first Now you've committed, there's a verbal contract 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:29.560 out there, so anyway, check back later to see if 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.280 I still have a job, and maybe you'll get a 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:35.520 turkey jacket. There's no way to know. And uh that 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.880 would be rest in peace to you know the one 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.800 that could be Everre. Uh he fought hard, but he 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:46.080 fought hard. So Phil, you's still there, Phil? Yeah, I'm here, Phil. 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.960 We gotta go over we. Mark probably doesn't even know 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.440 this because he's too busy to listen to THHD on 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:57.200 a weekly basis. How by the way, it's amazing you 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.200 get that. You get a fill and I don't have 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:04.760 anyone been podcast. I kind of just took Phil like 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.600 nobody gave him to me. I have just over time 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.560 done things to kind of lay claim to him. Also 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:15.760 been very nice to him to keep him around. Yeah, 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:21.200 it could have been. It could have been a lot worse. There. 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.600 It sounds like my wife's it's our anniversary today, actually 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:29.720 been congrats, it's it's our six wedding anniversary for my 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:33.000 wife today. So uh, I love you girl. I know 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.480 you don't listen to my podcasts either, but I love 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:39.840 you anyway. It's okay, So we gotta before we get 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.959 to our our hunting story, we got to talk about 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:47.640 uh the win a podcast giveaway from episode one. Now, Mark, 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:51.359 we what we did was we had four different giveaways 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.080 to celebrate our hundreds episode so we could have fun 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:57.680 with our listeners. And this this idea was to give 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.480 away my old podcast gear, my zoom record or all 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.160 my audio checting, your headsets, all the things you need 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.000 to have your own portable podcast kit, as well as 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.040 have me as your first guest on your new podcast 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.000 and have Phil and I give you a consultation on 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.800 how to get started programs. You need cool of things. 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.040 So away for someone to have a leg up, as 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.119 it were, to start their own podcasts still got to 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.320 do the work, but we were willing to help him out. 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.280 Um and and all we asked was that they write 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.359 a hundred words to th HC at the Mediator dot 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:30.920 com and they told us why what the podcast wasn't 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.199 why they would want to do it uh And we 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:36.640 got hundreds of submissions I think upwards of four hundred 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.679 submissions of what UH podcast people wanted to do. So 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:43.080 I was happy with that. Joe Ferronado, who was also 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.840 quarantined at his home right now, UM and I sat 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:49.400 last Friday and and read almost every single one of them, 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:53.159 and we came down to a top three. Um and 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:55.800 so we're gonna have and and Mark, I'd like to 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:57.600 get your vote on these one I read them, but 0:18:57.600 --> 0:18:59.840 I'm gonna read the top three right now. And that 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.919 I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go on then at 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:05.560 beny would be three or one on my Instagram account 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:07.800 and I'm gonna put a poll up for people to 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:12.680 vote on the best podcast idea. So you guys gotta 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.240 listen up. Does that all make sense? Mark? Makes sense? 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:20.240 Sounds cool? So I'm gonna read the three um here 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:22.159 to you, and I want to get your reaction and 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.040 Phil's reaction to each one of them, all right, and 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.520 then we're gonna go you guys, you guys good with that? Yes, yes, 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:30.639 you're good with it. I knew you would be all 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:33.800 right for the first one, the first finalist, Phil, will 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.960 you be able to put drum rolls in here? Of course? Yeah? 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:38.960 Put a drum roll right now? All right here, here 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.800 we go. One out of eight drum rolls. That's gonna 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:43.720 be that they're gonna be in this episode. Mark doesn't 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:45.640 know when I for a drum roll, and I keep 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:47.399 talking and I need another drum roll. And then I 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:49.280 keep talking and I need another drum roll. I'm not 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:55.280 good with executing the drum roll. Uh. Finality is that anyway? Uh? 0:19:55.400 --> 0:20:00.000 Ian Russell, Kamara and Ryan Russell wrote in with this one, 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.040 we are the Russell Brothers and our proposed podcast. The 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.359 Whole Animal focuses on new and interesting ways the harvest 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:10.400 resources from game animals that most most people simply throw 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:13.560 away with the help of guest chefs, hunters, and artists. 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:17.000 Each season focuses on a single animal, and each episode 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:19.480 explores novel ways to engage with a part of that 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:23.600 animal that hunters typically discard from utilitarian to down ray silly. 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:27.400 The Whole Animal Podcast is a show like no other. 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:31.919 Learn how to make dear spine, putter's turkey feet, poker chips, 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.000 and duck blood soup, and a podcast coming to your 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:40.480 feed soon. The Whole Animal Podcast by the Russell Bros. Phil, 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:43.159 What do you think about that one? That one is 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:46.240 a great idea of the just coming from a non 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:49.800 hunter's perspective, though, I'm wondering what you guys think about 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:54.480 the the longitivity of something like that, Like how how 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:56.520 deep could they go? How many animals could they cover? 0:20:56.560 --> 0:21:00.280 How many parts could they dive into? Yeah, I mean sudden, 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:04.199 you could do every every game animal you can think of, 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:07.680 you can do. I mean, I'd like to hear a dove, 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:10.320 or I'd like to hear a I mean, obviously a 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:12.600 wild turkey. But there's got there's a million things. I 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:13.879 like the way they broke it down, like you have 0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:16.760 a season and then you have an animal. You take 0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:18.560 an animal and you break it into episodes, break it 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:20.880 into parts. It's it kind of has a nice little 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:23.840 ring to it that way. Mark, It's a very cool idea. 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:26.560 I do wonder if, like the novelty of it would 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:28.760 wear off at some point. And this is me being 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:32.240 overly critical, so overly critical saying that. But at first 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:38.320 of great idea. Um, but yeah, I wonder if I 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:40.000 don't know, it would be a little bit hard to 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:44.000 execute on making every one of those fascinating. When could 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:46.560 I listen to number eight of how to use a 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:50.320 duck and we're getting down to like using a duck 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:53.320 foot for a bookmark or something. I don't know if 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:57.240
