But you send an email says 119 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: test my meat, and then you make a pitch and 120 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: Chester will weigh at scientific merit with his backward hat on, 121 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: with his backward hat on as he'll put his goggles 122 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: on and read your email, and he will weigh the 123 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: scientific merit of the meat, and he will decide whether 124 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: he'll accept a sample. If he accepts a sample you 125 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: fired off in the mail, Chester, have we and you'll 126 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: get your own custom reading. You'll get your own custom reading. 127 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: So when people say, when you say this meat is 128 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: this buck was so tough? In fact, it was a 129 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: five point two, have we set a scientific sort of 130 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: have we decided what scale is tough? What scale is tender? Chester? 131 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: Because he read all the manual. Okay, all right, so 132 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: we had that. I'm handing it over to Chester, now, 133 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: Jester explained the machine. Sure, So, um, it's a sheer 134 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: force test and you basically core out. Would you take 135 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: a little core sample out of whatever you want to test, 136 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: Whether that's a peep, which will that's a marshmallow peep? 137 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: Save that? Yeah? Save that? Just do it, do it 138 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: your own way. But people know what to explain what 139 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: you mean by a peep? Yeah, not one of your friends. No, No, 140 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: this is a little easter This is a little easter 141 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: bunny that if anybody had easter baskets growing up, your 142 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: mother would put some little yellow or purple Easter bunny 143 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: marshmallows in there. YEA a kind of didn't know. It's 144 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: sparkly wild berry peeps. Sparkly wild berry um. They're really 145 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: really good toasted like a toasted marshmallow. Just a little 146 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: tip for everybody. Uh. But so we're gonna test the 147 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: peep and it should be pretty tender on this tenderness scale, 148 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: which is an international scale. Yeah, and we're doing we're 149 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: doing some simple things that everyone is very familiar with, 150 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: just to set to help set the scale correct. And 151 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: it's in kims. So let's say we test out this 152 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: peep and it ends up being around a two that 153 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: is tender. Let's say we tested this peep and it 154 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: ended up being around a four that is acceptable. Let's 155 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: say we tested it out and it ended up being 156 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: a six, that'd be one tough peep. Here's my here's 157 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: a question about the scale, because you're I feel like 158 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: you're doing there's two things happening with with how you're 159 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: treating the scale. On one hand, it's like you're you're 160 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: you're assigning an objective number to meet tenderness um, which 161 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: is which I applaud. But then for them to say 162 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: that a four to three is acceptable. Then you've entered 163 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 1: into subjectivity. So they're taking an objective scale but interpreting 164 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: it subjectively, which is annoying to me. Well, in grading meat, 165 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,479 Speaker 1: I think they do that, Like if they're testing a 166 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: way Goo beef steak and they get a four, they're like, 167 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's accepted, Like we can still send 168 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: this out, right, Yeah, I'm with you, Like the market will. 169 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: It's like the market will accept the market will accept it. 170 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: It feels somewhat. That feels that's feels somewhat it's subjective, 171 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: but it's also relative, like and I think that's what's 172 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: important about it is that it's relative to other carcasses 173 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: of the same species. So you're testing a bunch of 174 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: beef next to each other and and sort of grading 175 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: it against one another. So it's your lot, what's that? 176 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: It's your lot? So yeah, four cattle that come in 177 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: on the same truck from the same place, then I 178 00:11:52,200 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: could see testing one, right, But it's still we're dealing 179 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: with individual animals here for sure, And I think that's 180 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 1: what we're I mean, I will see, but I think 181 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna see like drastic differences between same species individual animals, 182 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: and the peep isn't technically a species. The peeple Like, 183 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have a fairly universal reading regardless 184 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: of what color peep we actually run. This chess is 185 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: gonna quarter the peep out. Okay, uh, now explain one, 186 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: explain one more thing you. Here's the part that I 187 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: didn't recall because I watched people do this in the 188 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: lab with a with a breed. They were breeding wag 189 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: ou cattle with limousine cattle, and they were testing the 190 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: carcass attributes. I remember them cutting a little plugs out, correct, 191 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: But I forgot that. You then go and uh stick 192 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: the plug in the machine. I thought it was measuring 193 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: the forest required to cut out a plug, but the 194 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: plug is just preparing the sample. Correct. Um. Do you 195 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: want me to get into that talkers, Yeah, I think 196 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: you should walk us through doing a peep before we 197 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: get into some what we're gonna do today, because we're 198 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: trying to milk this out because it was so expensive. 199 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: If we if this machine was like we'd probably use 200 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: it this today and never talk about it again because 201 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: it was so damn expensive. We gotta do this. We're 202 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: gonna milk it out and slowly test up so later 203 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: when we look at the machine, we won't be like 204 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: else stupid. Yeah right, so we're just gonna get rolling today. Yeah. 205 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: So let's this, This little peep doesn't have muscle fibers. 206 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: If he did, we want to make sure we're taking 207 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: up as accurate of course samples as we can, so 208 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: they're all very uniform and similar. But it does not 209 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: matter that much with this guy. For this meat, for example, 210 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: you want to be taking the course a core sample 211 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: in parallel with the grain, so when you're you stick 212 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: it in the machine, you're sharing it perpendicular across the grains, 213 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: so you get an even tests. So so you're cut 214 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: you the machine is like, yeah, it'd be like if 215 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: you're slicing a roast up and your nice passing through 216 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 1: your probably when you slice the roast up, your knife 217 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: is passing through cross grain correct ye, And a lot 218 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: of the times when you bite into it you potentially 219 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: be biting cross grains. So that's why they have it 220 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: like that. Um. Another key thing to factor in when 221 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: we're doing these tests, as you have to cook the 222 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: meat evenly. Let's say we had an elk sitting there 223 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: and we had an antelope sitting there. You want to 224 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: make sure you're between them. You want to make sure 225 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: the center of that meat is cooked the same or 226 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: else you're not going to have an accurate test. And 227 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: then you have to let it sit in the fridge 228 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: overnight and kind of let things settle and harden up, 229 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: and then take your core samples. You'll get a better 230 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: core sample that way. So when you when you folks 231 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: out there start sending uh meat to Chester, um, we 232 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: will be do it. We'll do this exact procedure. If 233 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: you accept the sample, you'll like, couldn't do a certain temperature, 234 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: let a chill overnight, right, and it'll be it'll line 235 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: up with the same treatment every piece of meat, correct, 236 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: any signed, any science stuff. You want to make sure 237 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: you're doing everything the same way, or else you're gonna 238 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: get really varying results. You know. That's what I always say, Hey, 239 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: what's cross grain on a peep? That's what he's saying. 240 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: He's were just just to set the just to give 241 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: people a because everybody has had a peep, so we 242 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: can't do that. But we're gonna give people, for instance, 243 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: a peep is blank, and then we can march from 244 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: there and start testing once we have like a we're 245 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: just trying to establish a baseline with people off a 246 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: universally recognized substance. So I'm gonna cut cut this peep 247 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: up here, and it's like Easter coming up. I'm not 248 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: gonna use is the core sample? Can I interrupt you 249 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: real quick? I'm in a bit of hot water. Ah, 250 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: Wisconsin kind of screwed me because they made youth Turkey 251 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: season on Easter. I didn't check to I just like 252 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:19,239 Speaker 1: made the trip for my kids, like with minus their mom, 253 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: and then it was pointed out to me that it 254 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: was easter. Yep, hot water. I can get a lot 255 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: of people pointed out to get a very nice way. 256 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: I've heard it doing a lot of work. Well, should 257 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: we go for it. I'm not going to use the 258 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: core sample for this, just because I don't want to. 259 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to get it all to do the meat. 260 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: So we'll just use the knife here, just just cutting 261 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: the man. If you thought people were miffed that we 262 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: did a whole thing on flint and napping without being 263 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: able to see what we were talking about, that same 264 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: crowd is going to be miffed about this Chesters slicing 265 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: up the peep It's stuck to his glove. It's stuck 266 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: to his lab coat because he's got his goggles on. Yeah, 267 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: this is getting more and more scientific. About a minute, 268 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 1: he's cut the core. Can you can I see the cord? 269 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: Can you hit me the court? I want to describe 270 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: the cord to people. This thing is sticky, so I'm 271 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: afraid it's gonna affect the results. Yep, just give us 272 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: bad reading. If it doesn't work, we'll clean it up 273 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 1: with some rubbing alcohol. That's a lab type thing. I 274 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: was looking for it, and then we'll go on to 275 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: the whitebread. So the core that he's Chester has looks 276 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: like a shotgun choke. It's got the textured and textured 277 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: like a shotgun choke. But it's just a cylinder, a 278 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: sharp cylinder, and I think that's about a centimeter right. 279 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,959 Speaker 1: Once you say cal cut a centimeter plug. Yeah, your 280 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: machine on, it's on. It's ready to roll. There's this 281 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: emergency shut off buttons. Okay, if things go to hell. 282 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: If things go to hell, Chester is gonna punch that 283 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: emergency shut off button. Chester. I don't want to panick you, 284 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: but your knife is kind of in the way of 285 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: that emergency shut off, so we could end up with 286 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: another accident. You're gonna just discussed workers complement a moment again. 287 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: You're already gonna be in some dire situation and then 288 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: go to hit that and then gash your hand further 289 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 1: on your knife. Okay, so it's loaded up. Chester will 290 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: now hit Wow, that is a real serious emergency shut off. Breath, Okay, 291 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: hit the do we want to take a few peep 292 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: core sample tests so we get a mean no, no, 293 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: I see Now that was the most scientific thing I've 294 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,479 Speaker 1: heard all Day's gonna throw the switch? He threw the switch. 295 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: It's sheering what this thing runs at a hell of 296 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: a pace. If you blinked, you'd be able to wait 297 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: and then still see it. So that is point five 298 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: six ms. So if people know a peep, if you're 299 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: trying to describe to someone, Let's say you're trying to 300 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 1: describe to an alien who's never had a peep and 301 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: you'd say to him, yeah, it's real. Uh well, let 302 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 1: me just tell you it's a point five six jester. 303 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: How scientific is it to eat the sample as you're 304 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: doing the test. I've done that because that's what that's 305 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: what he's come on. You ever been in a lab, 306 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: That's what you do when you're done testing a material. Okay, 307 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 1: so peep is point five six Chester. Do you think 308 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: we should move on to the bread or just go 309 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: right into a prong horn? Oh? I want to see 310 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: white bread. I think we try bread. The bread will 311 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: cleaned some of that peep out of the just a 312 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: quick well, no, here's a quick tip for people. I've 313 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: been doing it lately and it works phenomenally. Well. You 314 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: know when you're grinding. When you're grinding uh burger m, 315 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: you get done and there's always that right. Then you 316 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: go to clean it and you always have that handful 317 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: that then like the next morning whatever, make a patty. 318 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: You know, you don't know what to do with it, 319 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: right because it came out in the end, uh or 320 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: like stuff and sausage into casings, you always get that 321 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: little bit of bulk stick some old bread there. The 322 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: fire down the whole and it pushes out what's left, 323 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 1: and then when you clean it, you just got some 324 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: old bread in there instead of having like more ground meat. 325 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: You gotta deal with yep. What do you think about that? 326 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: What do you put in there. But what's that said? 327 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: What are you putting there to get the old bread out? 328 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: Piece of meat? Then you got yourself a couple more eggs. 329 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: And some people don't realize it, but that's where the 330 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: sandwich came from. The sandwich something. The sandwich was invented. 331 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: You need your core? Thank you? All right? Okay, Chester's 332 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: now taking a core sample out of a hunk of 333 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: Joe blow. Now when I said get bread, I was 334 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: pictured you can like white bread. You know. The problem 335 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: is I just realized you can't get a core off it. 336 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: You have to get it pretty sliced. You have to 337 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: go to the wonderbread factory. And right before they don't 338 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, isn't it hard to picture? It's almost 339 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: like it's it's like it's like made slice yeah, cartoon yeah, 340 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: and spits out slices exactly. I can promise you the 341 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: people at the Wonderbread factory would be like they would 342 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: hit the emergency stopped button if you said, don't slice it. See, 343 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: you know what it's like. He predicted the problem that 344 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: we were about to have. Now we guys, for the record, 345 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: we have bread stuck in our course. Cutter. It's this 346 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: isn't made for bread when you're when you guys are 347 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,959 Speaker 1: making uh sausage and you're running through the stuffer. Uh, 348 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: how do you get the final meat out of the tube? 349 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: Plastic wrap? What do you mean? You take like a 350 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: three ft long piece of wrap and you put it 351 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: down and the auger will pull it and it pushes 352 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: it through, pushes the rest of it through like on 353 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: a grinder or in the stuffer. It creates a little 354 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: ball and it pushes it out. I don't understand. I 355 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: don't know how to better describe. I do something that 356 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: I wouldn't do in front of anybody, Okay, where I 357 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: blow it through. Yeah, that's what chest I trying to 358 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: do with that. So but explain what you're talking about. 359 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: So we take a piece of like like your box 360 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: of plastic wrap you have, we're talking using this stuff exactly. 361 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: So we un crank it, you know, back up to 362 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: the top, and then we put a ball of plastic wrap, 363 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 1: like you just pull plastic wrap off the you know, 364 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: off the dispenser, and hours are pretty big, you know, 365 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: so it's like maybe wide, so it's twice as wide 366 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: as a home piece of plast crap. And we'll pull 367 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: like a three ft chunk, slice it off and throw 368 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: it kind of ball it up and throw it in 369 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: the stuffer. And when you crank it down, because it's 370 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: plastic wrap, it changes its shape and it will extrude 371 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: that last bit of me. Yes, and we do it 372 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: with the grinder too. So well when you're grinding me, 373 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: why you not knowingly because we've covered this like three 374 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: years ago, almost not understood. Then either sausage suffer even 375 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: if it's empty. I mean, if it's empty, there's nothing 376 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: to get out of it, Steve, because the two yes, yes, 377 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: because there's a pressure chamber is empty. Yeah. Yeah, they're 378 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: the air pressure behind it's gonna push it out. It's 379 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: right there, hot. Yeah, on your grinder. You gotta be yeah, 380 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: you gotta be on your game. Yeah, because you'll get 381 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: a little tiny chunks of plasts. Well, so with the grinder, 382 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: we we pull the front and pull the blade. So 383 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: we pulled the blade, eat off and then put it 384 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: put the thing back on and then run plastic wrap 385 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: through it and the auger grabs it and pushes the 386 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: rest of that meat out and same deal. Like mostly 387 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: it's air pushing exactly, It's just air pushing it out. Yeah, okay, 388 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna check back in with chest with the tester. 389 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: We now have a ferry. Oh you got a course 390 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: sample the loafer briery. Not great looking course sample. Oh no, 391 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: what are you talking about. It's like it it looks 392 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: like a piece of like a goose dropping. Yeah exactly. 393 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: I mean it doesn't squishing it and making it more 394 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: dense like that, that'll affect the results. Man, well ship 395 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: fill down there. It's like, here comes Phil with his logic. Listen, 396 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: I got season my science class. I passed. Oh even so, 397 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: you know if you went and bought a really low 398 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: quality one dollar loaf, okay, so this is a loaf 399 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: of what the what would they call that? They're not 400 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: calling it French? Are they calling it her French bread? Okay, 401 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: but at one dollar loaf of French bread at Walmart, 402 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: it is twice as tender as a peep. Now, I 403 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: just want to point out that we're testing the interior. 404 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: We're testing the bread guts. We're not testing the exterior, which, 405 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: by the way, is generally what people associate with the 406 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: toughness of bread is the crust of the bread, not 407 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: talk about the bread. You don't You don't hear people 408 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: talk about artists and bread, how it's hard to chew 409 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Yeah, I guess yeah, like a 410 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: Sheboygan hard rolls. I think a very regionally specific piece 411 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: of bread. That's what I had in mind. So the scene, 412 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: the scene is now set, and we're ready to just 413 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: concentrate now extrictly on game meat for the red for 414 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: the rest of the life of this machine. Eight. Just 415 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: so you know, you've all had a loaf of French 416 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,479 Speaker 1: bread before. A loaf of French bread comes in at 417 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: point to seven. Toughness, A peep comes in at point five, 418 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: six or eight, I think toughness. So we're not documenting 419 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: these numbers. We can scratch that down because someone scratch 420 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: that Phil, What are you doing down there looking for 421 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: a pen? I got it. I feel like it should 422 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: be like in a document now exactly. We need a 423 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: spreadsheet because you know what, whoever can said, should we 424 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: whoever sends in the Chester the toughest piece of meat 425 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: wins a prize. Oh boy, And don't get creative and 426 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: send in like your homemade jerky. By the way, like, 427 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: don't because we can't do we can't do exactly. You 428 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: gotta send in the hole muscle roasts. Yeah, or or 429 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: we should do like whoever sends in like a specific animal, 430 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: like the most tender white tail. We'll give a prize 431 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: for the most tender meat that comes in and a 432 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: prize for the toughest meat that comes in. What about 433 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: a trophy? Are we a petrophy? It's gonna be raised 434 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: on a farm of my bad? Yeah, well no, we 435 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: just got It's gotta be an honesty system, you know, 436 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: because you gotta submit. You gotta pitch Chester on your 437 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: meat when you say test my meat. Good picture of 438 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: the animal would be nice. It would be interesting to 439 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: test farm raised game animal versus truly wild ones. At 440 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: some point you just uh, you know, like go out 441 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: to Uncle Jeffson whack bambi in the alfalfa field versus 442 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: you're trying to do that to win the prize. Well, 443 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: I think just all these comparisons, right, once we build 444 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: up our data, this is gonna be oh right, I 445 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: think that's a great one. White tail home range of 446 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: probably like a mile born in May, killed in October, 447 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: lived on Uncle Jeff's alf alfa field. Probably never was 448 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: more than a hundred yards away from Yeah, from this 449 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: author the hedge. Yeah, what's he score? Yeah? Blueing teal 450 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 1: that hatches in July gets shot in September. That I 451 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: can't we got. I really am looking forward to doing 452 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: some duck. Were we at now? Chest? You're ready to 453 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: pull a corps? You guys ready for the official first test? Here? 454 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: We've been ready? Yeah? What what is it? So? This 455 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: is antelope? Steve gave it to me yesterday, pronghorn. It 456 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: was a medium buck. Did you run it for five miles? Him? Okay, 457 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: not know what hit him? He was eating and me 458 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: and my boy bushewa acting from a haystack. I had 459 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: no idea what was coming zero and didn't take a step. 460 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: That's good context. I can tell you this to yards. 461 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: Never took a step, didn't know what was coming a 462 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: medium sized box. So definitely a few years old. Uh, 463 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: opening day. His life was gone before the retoil recoil 464 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,479 Speaker 1: settled on your shoulder. Opening day? What was the day? Like, 465 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: what's the you know the date? August whenever the held 466 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: Montana's Antlope opener was last year? No? No, it's October 467 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: of opening of general fire open opening of opening day 468 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: of Antalope firearm, and we're gonna put down there that 469 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,239 Speaker 1: it was drizzling, and we got to be clear. This 470 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: is a prong horn, which is a goat antalope, not 471 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: like a true antelope, because we're probably gonna test some 472 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: of those American prong horn commonly known and still known 473 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: by all Western regulations I believe as the antelope an 474 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: capra americana. Al Right there, you gotta thank you. So 475 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: that's this, that's the kind of science I've been waiting 476 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: for all This is a loin. So what we want 477 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: to do is typically you know, or all the time. 478 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: I know. I said it's a lab, but it's also 479 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: still a podcast. Okay, So the muscle grain is going 480 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: to be running long wise long ways here on this. 481 00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: So we're gonna cut out one inch little cuts here, 482 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: and then we'll take a core sample running parallel with 483 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: the grain, got it, And we'll do six of them, 484 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: and we're gonna test all six and who's gonna be 485 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: right in these? And then we'll come up with the average. 486 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: And that's how tender this guy will be. Are you 487 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: measuring your one inch cut? Uh? No, just jester, I'm 488 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: gonna say that. We'll do three do three. Yeah, because 489 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: when I was watching those people do the waygoo limousine 490 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: cow cross breed, they were doing three. Okay, he's slice 491 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: kind of get a slice that, Chester, I don't know. 492 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: It's give me a little thin slice. Why you cut that? 493 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: It's maybe hungry? Just pretty salt on there yet, I 494 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: have a little put a little salt. We have salt 495 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: on it. We're gonna talk about that. That changes right 496 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: now for you Chester. Do you wait? There is salt 497 00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: on it? No salt, no salt. Okay, so what we 498 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: got because we're only doing three, we only need to 499 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: make one of these cuts. But this muscle grain is 500 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: running kind of this way. So I'm going to take 501 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: course samples out of this being bam and booms. Exactly 502 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: is it normal to be able to wipe your hands 503 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: on your lap coat? That's what it's there for. Jesse, 504 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: you need a little poker to get your cores. Well, 505 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: he has a lollipop stick that seems to make a 506 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: legit poker. It's like true to the true to diameter, 507 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: so it shoves it out real nicely. Nice. Hey, this 508 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: is an important question. What kind of meat is this? Backstrap? 509 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: Otherwise known as loin specifically short loins. Do you know 510 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: when I was a kid, we didn't like we had 511 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: we called it, we called the backstraps. There was inside 512 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: and outside tender loins, was the Norman Clay true and 513 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: my when I was a kid in Michigan. Right, that's 514 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: very confusing, the inside tender loins and the and then 515 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: people would call the the loins, the tenderloins, the outside tenderloins. 516 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: They still have that issue with um with pork loin, 517 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: like people consistently referring to it like as outside tenderloin. 518 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: Like that's how you end up with the tender loin 519 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: sandwich that's actually made out of a pork loin as 520 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: opposed to a tenderloin. In my opinion, that's the only 521 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: way to eat a tender loin, Like, I'd rather have 522 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: it smashed and fried. Right, there's like a pork chop, John, Yeah, 523 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: I mean there's no no real flavor there. There's not 524 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: enough fat. And if I'm eating a pig, I want fat. Yeah, 525 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: there can be fat, but unfortunately that's well that's a 526 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: whole separate lab based podcast. We discussed the fat content 527 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: levels of various and assorted wr Next Machine, Yeah, seventy dollars. Yeah. 528 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: You know, we were doing this house of oddities to 529 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: to secure some land access, but now we're just gonna 530 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: use it to secure some m Okay. Chester is loading 531 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: in a piece of American pronghorn backstrap off a medium 532 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: sized buck bush whacked from a haystack. Never knew what 533 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: hit him. Two point seven I'm guessing, Oh that is tender. 534 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: That is some tender. One three three one market down 535 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: as one point three three. My elk was two point 536 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: five point three three dang no one point three Yeah, 537 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. One point three three. That's the 538 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: first test, first ever test, one point three three. And 539 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: we're doing six tests. This is gonna do three off 540 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: this and you're supposed to do six, but I watched 541 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: them do three. We're gonna do three an average, and 542 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: then we'll log it. And and uh, Sean had interesting 543 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: that if a good scientific experiment about toughness go ahead. 544 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: About the geese, Oh yeah, it'd be great to have 545 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: banded birds. If someone would send in like a you know, 546 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: a confirmed banded bird. I can't imagine there would be 547 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 1: anything more tough than like a fifteen year old Canada 548 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: goose and you know it's fifteen years old. Then we 549 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: can run that through there. You might win, you might 550 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: win the trophy number yeah, oh, test number two here 551 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: it goes. What So that was the one because that 552 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: was the one that was towards the outside. Let let 553 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: me explain it to people. So you know, when you 554 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,919 Speaker 1: cook a chunk of meat, right, the inside is more 555 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 1: red or pink, the outside is more cooked. When Chester 556 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:53,959 Speaker 1: ran his cores, he had one core veer over into 557 00:34:54,040 --> 00:35:00,720 Speaker 1: the cooked into the roast, so to speak, and that 558 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: piece scored a what two two point two six, two 559 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: point to six, whereas the very rare middle scored a 560 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 1: one point three three. Right, wouldn't I mean, do they 561 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: give you like a method to how you're supposed to 562 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 1: cook this? When I watched them doing it the lab, 563 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: they were doing it on these little electric grills with 564 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: these real fancy probes, these temperature probes, and them real 565 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: specific about it, and they had lab coats. So should 566 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: we not like back back this thing and suvia, Yeah, 567 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: that's what I was thinking, that, like that would be 568 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: the most consistent way to tell. But if that's not 569 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: what they but because they don't say the jama octopus 570 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: t what what they say is it's a temperature thing. 571 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,760 Speaker 1: If you can get the middle part of that meat, 572 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: like if it were an antelope and elk the same 573 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: And then let's say like this one I wrapped, seared 574 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: the outside, wrapped it in tinfoil, let it rast through 575 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: it in the fridge overnight. Um. But if I were 576 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: doing the elk, I would have got the exact same temperature. 577 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 1: I think SUV gotta be the way to go on 578 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: this because we could put a thermo couple through the 579 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: bag into the meat and actually check the core temperature 580 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: during cooking. Yeah, and then you can run a whole 581 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: bunch of samples when they start pouring in. So now 582 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,720 Speaker 1: we gotta get that. We gotta get serious vacuum steeler, 583 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: a thermo couple, Thermo couple, what I'm talking about for 584 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: that is like a we got a here goes one 585 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: four seven. So that was again more of the middle 586 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: there one point four seven the average sean one second, 587 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: We'll do one more. This was the outside, more of 588 00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: the outside. He can't stop. I'd be curious. What if 589 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,240 Speaker 1: you put your finger in net hole and turn that on? Uh, 590 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: you can try what would take to sheer? What what 591 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: it would take to sheer your finger. Well, let's see Steve, 592 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: how tough finger? Not that tough? And then we just 593 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: test each other's fingers to see if there's any variation. 594 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: He's bagging it up and he's loading number four in. 595 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: He's addicted man Chester, Chester are supposed is gonna be 596 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: like just Warner Braxler's coming between us? Who is this 597 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 1: Warner bras? Learn why you spending so much time with him? 598 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: That was like a little bit towards the outside of 599 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: one eight six sean? Okay, So the official score of 600 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: a medium buck American prong horn, not run around ragan, 601 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: not hauled around in someone's truck for three weeks while 602 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,320 Speaker 1: shows everybody how big it is. One point seven three 603 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: is one point seven three. Cow's like, I want the 604 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 1: most tender part of my meat gone, please, Cow's holding 605 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: up a chunk of it with a hole cut through it. 606 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: How is it? Yeah? Very but yeah, And just so 607 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: people know, empirically very tender? What was it score? Again? 608 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: One point seven three was the average? Okay? And when 609 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: and I'll bet one point seven three is uh low 610 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: score would be regarded commercially as tender. And when you 611 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: eat it, you would say to someone, my god, that's tender. Yep, 612 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: that's nice. Agreed? Was it tender? Mm hmm? Okay, you 613 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: guys got your mouth. So when's uh so, when's the 614 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: Warner Braxler Part one? Met eater at the me eater 615 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: dot com is that the website is that the general 616 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: Email me eater at the meat eater dot com. Send 617 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: in your pitch test You got your pitch to Chester, 618 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: subject line, subject line all caps, test my meat? You say, like, 619 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 1: what you got? Why do you think it's interesting? Why 620 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: do you think it's a contender for most tender or 621 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: toughest meat out there? And we will determine that, will 622 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: report back with what the prizes Steve should we ask 623 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,439 Speaker 1: them to send that kind of relative information. We're looking 624 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,479 Speaker 1: for hunting conditions, general thought on age of the animal size, 625 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Yeah, and if it's accepted, we 626 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 1: might have more questions. And if it's accepted, we might 627 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: even have to do Phil's favorite thing, squad cast you 628 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: in to witness the testing of your meat. Test my 629 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: meat with Chester the tester. Oh, it's going into Instagram 630 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: bio now, Chester the Tester. Oh yeah, Chester is gonna 631 00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: wind up with a show on like A and EA 632 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 1: or called test my Meat Chester. Just imagine which scientific 633 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: journals we're gonna be able to publish this data and 634 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 1: down the road you're doing Chester. We're gonna move on 635 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: to other subjects right now. But I want to close 636 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 1: this segment out by saying that you're probably doing um 637 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: science that no one's done before. No one has. When 638 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 1: this is said and done, we'll have tested a wider 639 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: array of game meets from around the world and that 640 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: no one no one's ever There's no way anybody's ever 641 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: done this. I better read a few more books about this. Yeah, 642 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,359 Speaker 1: I can almost guarantee. I don't know if you're gonna 643 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: find any books about this. None of the other to 644 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: resident on them while they were doing the test clients. 645 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: I actually did some some research on anywhere we can 646 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 1: get Chester an unpaid internship somewhere that does this. You 647 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 1: know what we will do for it's critical that it 648 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,359 Speaker 1: be unpaid, doesn't Sully his opinion? We will. I don't 649 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: want to do that. That sounds like to complicated, but 650 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 1: we will do is. We'll get his lab coat embroidered. 651 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: Those are basically parallels and a big dragon on the 652 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 1: back just because we need you need to come up 653 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: with your own formula though, just to ensure that you're 654 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,720 Speaker 1: doing everything the exact same and then your own note 655 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: taking as well. The reason why I we're just doing 656 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: one piece. But I would imagine because we already did this. 657 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 1: Let's say we get an elkin or that, um, what 658 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: is that wild beef that you got in New Mexico. 659 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: I'm I'm going to cook it the same way as 660 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: I did this. Yeah, keep it consistent, and so it's 661 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: all consistent. And I got a Matt Damon groove with that. 662 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 1: Somehow you look like Matt Damon Now I don't know 663 00:41:53,440 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 1: what show with his backward hat and goggles. Yeah, I 664 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 1: think the su VI is the best way to get 665 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,240 Speaker 1: it consistent. Listen, now, I got a bunch of armchair 666 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 1: I'm just people chest to do your thing, buddy. Yeah, Sean, 667 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 1: who's doing the test over here? Yeah? All right, we're 668 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: gonna move on. But I got one, I know I 669 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: had one. I got another last thing to add him. 670 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: Here's why Sue vied might Here's why they might be right. 671 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: Because when we when we jam octopus tentacle in there, right, 672 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: you could also put that in the su vied for 673 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: at whatever town. Yeah, you can do it all at 674 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 1: the exact same time and then just snake the octopus 675 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: tentacle in there and pull it until it's tight and 676 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: then but then again like octopus, the way we would 677 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 1: cook it, or the way like Kimmy would cook it 678 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 1: or Kevin, they tenderized the heck out of it before 679 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 1: you'd eat it. So would I would I beat the 680 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 1: heck out of it like Kimmy does on on rocks 681 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 1: before I or Sean will make a separate document. Here's 682 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: how we do it. He's gonna make a separate it's 683 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 1: a separate research. It's gonna be that document is gonna 684 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: be called octopus various ways. Put one right out of 685 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:26,320 Speaker 1: the ocean. Have can you beat one with rocks? Boil 686 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,359 Speaker 1: the piss out of one right, and it will be 687 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,839 Speaker 1: like like that's a whole different publication. Yeah, I think 688 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 1: I think that's that's like a lifetime worth of work. 689 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:41,759 Speaker 1: And I think you can skip that. You can do 690 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 1: you can do a little bit of research, come up 691 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:54,319 Speaker 1: with the mean temperature and duration of cook for octopus. 692 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 1: So you're hitting right in the middle, and I think 693 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 1: that would be plenty. Yeah, And you Ken just jammed 694 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,760 Speaker 1: the tentacle in there, because then you're testing surface tension 695 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 1: as well. Mm hmm, oh, follow jamming it in there. 696 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 1: You don't want to jam it in yeah, because well, 697 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 1: the the outside of the octopus has a membrane on it. 698 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: That's substantially we're gonna. We're gonna for this publication called 699 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 1: Um Octopus Various Ways Eight Ways to Cook an Octopus. Yeah. 700 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: I think we should peel the outer skin out and 701 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 1: then have Kimmy come out and she'll have to count 702 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 1: how many times she hit it with a rock and 703 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 1: just describe the general attributes of said rock. Do we 704 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: cut the tentacles off and then we start doing the 705 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 1: different things with a single octopus?

The idea behind saber Tooth has been 809 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,239 Speaker 1: it's actually today is a perfect day for this because 810 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 1: for years I have listened to Chef Friends, to just 811 00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 1: Layman's Two Hunters tell me that the value of wild 812 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,759 Speaker 1: protein of wild animals is below that of farm raised 813 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 1: They're not as good, you know, quote unquote, they're just 814 00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 1: not so good. Like if you want really great meat, 815 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,400 Speaker 1: you know it's prime beef. It's stuff like that, and 816 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,359 Speaker 1: I've just for years disagreed and said, no, I don't 817 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 1: think that's true. I think it's just that you guys 818 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:48,759 Speaker 1: don't understand what to do with it. I don't think 819 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 1: you understand the possibilities. And I referenced back years, like 820 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,280 Speaker 1: you know, professional chefs in Europe, people like Paul Bocus, 821 00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 1: the person who literally has had three Michelin stars longer 822 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,600 Speaker 1: than anyone in the world. We'll pull farm raised duck 823 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 1: from his menu and put wild ducks on during the 824 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,720 Speaker 1: season because he thinks they're better. And so my argument 825 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,480 Speaker 1: has been that it's all in the eyes of the beholder, 826 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 1: and more importantly, it's in the eyes of the people 827 00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:12,879 Speaker 1: doing it. And so we decided to create this show 828 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:17,040 Speaker 1: Saber Tooth, really to kind of fill out what feels 829 00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,719 Speaker 1: like the obligation of Meter, which is to help people 830 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 1: see this entire experience of hunting and angling from the 831 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:24,840 Speaker 1: start to the finish. And that doesn't mean that it 832 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,200 Speaker 1: ends when the animals down or when you know, when 833 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,279 Speaker 1: the fishes in the boat. It's that next part is 834 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:32,480 Speaker 1: oftentimes for a lot of people, the hardest, and so 835 00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 1: Sabretooth of the show designed around hunting and fishing, but 836 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,200 Speaker 1: then we take it one step further and we really 837 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 1: show you just how far, um, just how far it 838 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,960 Speaker 1: can be taken, you know. Culinarily, In the first episode, 839 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,720 Speaker 1: we're hunting hogs in my home state of Farrell hogs 840 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:48,920 Speaker 1: in my home state of Georgia, and then we bring 841 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,279 Speaker 1: them back to my restaurant, Gun Show, and we put 842 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 1: together a thirteen course tasting menu using Farrell hogs, large 843 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:59,759 Speaker 1: mouth bass, white tailed deer. Yeah, man, gotta we have 844 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 1: a really big pond on this exact same property, and 845 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,359 Speaker 1: so we caught a ton of large mouth, Like I said, 846 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 1: we've got white tail. Um, we got some really cool 847 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,120 Speaker 1: stuff and we just really throw down in this first episode, 848 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,680 Speaker 1: and then subsequent episodes kind of change around, you know, 849 00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 1: and the next one, h Jesse Griffith and I are 850 00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:19,759 Speaker 1: gonna be working with um um scimitar horned orcs in 851 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,480 Speaker 1: Texas with Daniel Pruett. Did you know that cal and 852 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 1: I got the cuddle with Did you get the caddle 853 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 1: with it? I didn't want to bud him. There are 854 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:35,360 Speaker 1: you and Korean cuddled a baby scimitar horned orcs? What 855 00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:40,160 Speaker 1: a calf? Bamberger Ranch preserve in Texas. They are doing 856 00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 1: a captive breeding program to supplement a reintroduction effort in 857 00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,680 Speaker 1: Chad in Africa and the Sahara of the scimitar horned orcs. 858 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:55,040 Speaker 1: A female had just dropped a calf cow, but Kyle 859 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,919 Speaker 1: had just dropped a calf and man, uh, they don't 860 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,759 Speaker 1: want you to pick that thing up. They had to 861 00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,120 Speaker 1: pull up to it like picture, you pull up right 862 00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:07,080 Speaker 1: alongside it with a truck and then open the door. 863 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,160 Speaker 1: So you've created like where you normally stand to like 864 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:10,759 Speaker 1: try to take a whiz on the side of the 865 00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,320 Speaker 1: road and no one seeing what you're doing, right, And 866 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,719 Speaker 1: and snagged the little calf up into the truck that way, 867 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,040 Speaker 1: So basically the same method you would use to abduct 868 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,840 Speaker 1: a child. You had to snatch him up van on 869 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,560 Speaker 1: the side, pop the door up and take a whizz. 870 00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:35,279 Speaker 1: Don't have kind of same technology. Uh. And then we 871 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,000 Speaker 1: got We took it into the back of the pickup, 872 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:41,200 Speaker 1: caddled it. Um. When you say cuddled, I think it's 873 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,759 Speaker 1: heart was racing, But I read it as a call. 874 00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,640 Speaker 1: I read it as a cuddle. I think he read 875 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,000 Speaker 1: it as I think he read it that the calf 876 00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,080 Speaker 1: it was it was a bowl Calf. I think he 877 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,560 Speaker 1: read it as um a near death experience for sure, 878 00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:00,920 Speaker 1: and Crane kind of got like after she got second snuggle. 879 00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,640 Speaker 1: It was interesting though, because I didn't like the didn't 880 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 1: have the crazy eyes, no of like ultra fear and panic. 881 00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 1: I think picked it up a week later, it might 882 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:13,160 Speaker 1: look a little different. There's a little out of it 883 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 1: that's pretty cute. I mean, so, actually, I'm glad you 884 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,120 Speaker 1: brought that up, because in that second episode we really 885 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,320 Speaker 1: are kind of going down that path of explaining we 886 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,759 Speaker 1: chose Simitar horned works on purpose because there is a 887 00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,560 Speaker 1: really interesting story about the fact that there are a 888 00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:28,960 Speaker 1: lot of people who are like they have no business 889 00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,759 Speaker 1: being in Texas and that that's probably true, but at 890 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,719 Speaker 1: this point there's a really huge opportunity for reintroducing something 891 00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,640 Speaker 1: into its native range that would otherwise be extinct. Yeah, 892 00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 1: we get we got into that. It was kind of 893 00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,480 Speaker 1: like they're nowhere right right, exactly exactly. But yeah, So 894 00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,759 Speaker 1: for folks who are fans of you guys run a 895 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 1: Warner Brassler on that song, we haven't, but I'm gonna 896 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 1: bring some in. That one's gonna be on my list 897 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 1: because I think that's one of the most tender that 898 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,759 Speaker 1: I've ever had. Well, we'll find out. We're gonna see, 899 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,839 Speaker 1: We're gonna see if it's better than American antelope. Did 900 00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,520 Speaker 1: you save some backstrap tons? I not tons, but we 901 00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,200 Speaker 1: have some yet enough for those little cores? Oh for sure. Yeah, 902 00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:05,920 Speaker 1: I probably got a one ounce piece that we can 903 00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:07,920 Speaker 1: core out so perfect, since that seems to be all 904 00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,799 Speaker 1: we need for it perfect. But yeah, so for folks 905 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,680 Speaker 1: who are fans of a you know, our meat eater show, 906 00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 1: who are who are in it to watch hunting, you 907 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 1: still get that in Saber Tooth. But then we just 908 00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,440 Speaker 1: take it and we kind of go a different direction 909 00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,080 Speaker 1: with it and really explore how great this stuff is. 910 00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,480 Speaker 1: And my goal if if we do this show right, 911 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,439 Speaker 1: people are going to get a lot more excited about 912 00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,320 Speaker 1: learning how to be better cooks and to uh focus 913 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,000 Speaker 1: on what they can do with these animals once they 914 00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,320 Speaker 1: have them. You're gonna do us another favorite and and 915 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,920 Speaker 1: uh clear up some things we've argued about a handful 916 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,360 Speaker 1: of times about brianing, Okay, what do you want to 917 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,200 Speaker 1: do this? Yeah, let's do it. Man, Well, I had 918 00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:47,000 Speaker 1: a thing I can't here who else fighting with you. No, No, 919 00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:50,399 Speaker 1: you just said to me we were discussing mountain goats, 920 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,480 Speaker 1: and you said, don't tell me that brianing doesn't work. 921 00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 1: And I said, it's not that it doesn't work, it's 922 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:56,839 Speaker 1: just that it does something that I think people don't 923 00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:00,919 Speaker 1: understand what it's actually doing. So you take a chunk 924 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:05,440 Speaker 1: of Okay, it's St. Patty's Day. St. Patty's Day. Are 925 00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,879 Speaker 1: we gonna go corn beef brine? I mean that's okay, 926 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,279 Speaker 1: let's use corn beef because something very different happens with 927 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,640 Speaker 1: corn beef. Tell me more. Okay, all right, turn it. 928 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,720 Speaker 1: Let's let's start this from the very beginning. So with brining, 929 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,200 Speaker 1: brianing is for everybody. I'm sure you all know. It's 930 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,320 Speaker 1: the idea of creating a water and salt based solution 931 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,120 Speaker 1: that you're gonna put some sort of meat in with 932 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,440 Speaker 1: the overall goal, right of making something that's juicier. Is 933 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,720 Speaker 1: that correct? Is that what people would generally think to do. 934 00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,520 Speaker 1: I think that people would say that it's more tender 935 00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 1: and june. All right, So there is. It is both 936 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,040 Speaker 1: of those things technically, but it does it in a 937 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,160 Speaker 1: way that's sort of somewhat misleading. So here's what happens, 938 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,680 Speaker 1: Like most of muscle fiber is made up of something 939 00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:52,320 Speaker 1: called myofibral. Myofibral um is what allows us to store 940 00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:56,640 Speaker 1: water inside meat. So an animal itself has a basic 941 00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 1: salinity level of about seven percent Mike natural really, yeah, 942 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,880 Speaker 1: and fish and meat have almost identical salinity levels, believe 943 00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:07,800 Speaker 1: it or not. Um. When we introduce a brine, we're 944 00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 1: attempting to increase that level in order to do two things. 945 00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:16,000 Speaker 1: One is to create an osmotic reaction where the fibers, 946 00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 1: the myofibral actually holds or encapsulates moisture, in this case water. 947 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,400 Speaker 1: The other is to tenderize it. And the tenderization actually 948 00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:29,000 Speaker 1: takes place because the salt disrupts the natural chemical bonds 949 00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,760 Speaker 1: of the protein and so they can't do their normal 950 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,680 Speaker 1: tightening up thing the way that they would normally, and 951 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,680 Speaker 1: so it appears more tender to you. I don't think 952 00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,960 Speaker 1: it actually if we ran it in this I don't 953 00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,880 Speaker 1: think it will actually be more tender, but it will 954 00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:47,240 Speaker 1: appear and seem more tender while you're eating it. That John, 955 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 1: that's the third we're gonna try it. We're gonna see. 956 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,800 Speaker 1: I Actually I don't know if that publication is can 957 00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:56,439 Speaker 1: be called. I don't know that that test, honestly, Steve, 958 00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody ever has tested empirically to 959 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:01,640 Speaker 1: see if it is it more tender, But it is 960 00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,760 Speaker 1: acknowledged scientifically that it will seem more tender because the 961 00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,600 Speaker 1: muscle fibers can't fight back with the salt concentration. I 962 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:12,320 Speaker 1: cannot wait to take a hunk of dear meat, throw 963 00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 1: half of it in a brine, half of it not, 964 00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,080 Speaker 1: and then have Chester goggle up and run them buggers 965 00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,680 Speaker 1: through there. All right. So but here's where, here's where 966 00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:27,480 Speaker 1: the train comes off the tracks, is that salt does 967 00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:29,360 Speaker 1: all those things that I just said. It causes that 968 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 1: as modic reaction because there's a there's an imbalance of 969 00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:36,600 Speaker 1: the natural salinity of the meat to the salt water concentration, 970 00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:40,560 Speaker 1: and so what happens is that it triggers the meat 971 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:44,200 Speaker 1: to sort of expel it's moisture and then to bring 972 00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,080 Speaker 1: it back in at a new, a new salinity level. 973 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:50,400 Speaker 1: Because what wants to happen cellularly is that it wants 974 00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,160 Speaker 1: the outside and the inside to be the same. And 975 00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,560 Speaker 1: so that's how you get the water into it, and 976 00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:59,160 Speaker 1: the myo fibral basically open up and they hold just water. 977 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,440 Speaker 1: And that's the key point to this is that what 978 01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:05,120 Speaker 1: you're tasting in the extra juiciness is literally just water. 979 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,320 Speaker 1: And so that's why when you Brian something and you 980 01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 1: put a bunch of stuff in it to try to 981 01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:12,800 Speaker 1: make the Brian taste better, you only taste it on 982 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:16,840 Speaker 1: the outside because that stuff can't penetrate with you. I've 983 01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:20,400 Speaker 1: I've had that explained, and I think you and I 984 01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:24,280 Speaker 1: discussed this about when you see Brian recipes and they're like, 985 01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:28,560 Speaker 1: add you know, a half bay leaf, Yeah, don't really 986 01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:31,240 Speaker 1: really right, don't do that. You'd be better off to 987 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 1: create some sort of seasoning mix something outside what you're saying, Like, 988 01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,520 Speaker 1: if you wanted to have like those acts, put them 989 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,200 Speaker 1: on it, but put them on it right. Put don't 990 01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:43,920 Speaker 1: trust that it's gonna soak up some right like residue 991 01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,640 Speaker 1: on the outside where you can just apply it at 992 01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:49,120 Speaker 1: the ratio you like. Right, salt and sugar are really 993 01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,760 Speaker 1: the only two things that are of any value inside 994 01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,760 Speaker 1: of Brian salt sugar water, and you really don't need 995 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,400 Speaker 1: to make it any more complicated than that. Um salt 996 01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,640 Speaker 1: in a c l um can can you can you can? 997 01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:01,160 Speaker 1: I bet yept on one of the things you mentioned, 998 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,840 Speaker 1: you might, uh we can maybe even look this up. 999 01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,919 Speaker 1: You say an animal is has a salinity level? Yeah, 1000 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,760 Speaker 1: do you know any saliny like like a Campbell's chicken 1001 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:13,560 Speaker 1: noodle soup. Do you know what that is? I'm just curious, 1002 01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,520 Speaker 1: like what, like what they're talking about when they say that, what? 1003 01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,720 Speaker 1: How what the volume of salinity and processed food is? Yeah? Like, 1004 01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,600 Speaker 1: what'd you say? An animal is running around on the hoof? 1005 01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,720 Speaker 1: About seven percent is what they believe in seven percent 1006 01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:29,080 Speaker 1: parts per million kind of thing. So and so so anyhow, 1007 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,080 Speaker 1: so we got this Brian, and there's been a lot 1008 01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 1: of studies in this. You know, Cooke's Illustrated published a 1009 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,800 Speaker 1: Brian recipe that ends up being about a fifteen percent solidity, 1010 01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:39,920 Speaker 1: and they said that their test proved that that was 1011 01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,800 Speaker 1: the best. The University of Georgia, which has one of 1012 01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,440 Speaker 1: the best meat science schools in the country and actually 1013 01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:50,320 Speaker 1: has literally an expert on brining. Her published recommendation is 1014 01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,800 Speaker 1: that it should be about half of that, about seven 1015 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,760 Speaker 1: point eight percent. They have a brining expert. Yeah, believe 1016 01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,200 Speaker 1: it or not, you g a go dogs. Um so anyhow, 1017 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:08,360 Speaker 1: how that would be such a better job to explain 1018 01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,919 Speaker 1: to people. Yeah, what do you do? Let me tell you? Yeah, 1019 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:17,040 Speaker 1: you fan of corn beef. So then all right, let's 1020 01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:20,440 Speaker 1: flash forward to corn beef. Because this process with the 1021 01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:24,560 Speaker 1: salt just keeps going, but at a tipping point it 1022 01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:28,600 Speaker 1: starts to do the exact opposite thing. So salt, once 1023 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,919 Speaker 1: you reach a salt concentration or a salinity level really 1024 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,680 Speaker 1: north of in my opinion, some people say it's north 1025 01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 1: of twenty. I've seen numbers as high as from a 1026 01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:43,840 Speaker 1: brine solution that what will end up happening is that correct. 1027 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,000 Speaker 1: So what will end up happening is that the exact 1028 01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 1: opposite will take place. The salt chemically when it breaks 1029 01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,120 Speaker 1: apart in A and C L, so you have sodium 1030 01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:55,480 Speaker 1: and chlorine so or chloride. So those two things can 1031 01:02:55,680 --> 01:03:02,080 Speaker 1: bond to the they can bond to the chemical elements 1032 01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:04,320 Speaker 1: of the meat itself and more importantly, the water in 1033 01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,040 Speaker 1: the meat. And so what they end up doing is 1034 01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:11,560 Speaker 1: that they then break the cellular structure of the meat 1035 01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:13,840 Speaker 1: itself and draw the water back out of it. And 1036 01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:17,080 Speaker 1: so that's how with corned beef, the corning you've actually 1037 01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,680 Speaker 1: dried that meat out, it is not as juicy. There 1038 01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:24,000 Speaker 1: is less moisture inside the muscle fiber than there would 1039 01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:26,160 Speaker 1: have been if that concentration of salt was lowered. A 1040 01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:31,160 Speaker 1: great way to witness that uh dry brining fish correct. 1041 01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:33,880 Speaker 1: So my boy this winter caught a big trout through 1042 01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:36,560 Speaker 1: the ice and he wanted to smoke it, and we 1043 01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,880 Speaker 1: made up a salt sugar salt brown sugar, and I 1044 01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:43,280 Speaker 1: had him pack it in there. I'm paraphrasing, but when 1045 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,320 Speaker 1: he opened the fridge the next day and opened it up, 1046 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,840 Speaker 1: he said something to the effect of holy shit, because 1047 01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:51,880 Speaker 1: that had turned to liquid. Yeah, And I was like, 1048 01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:55,000 Speaker 1: that's all the that's all the liquid those in your fish. 1049 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,640 Speaker 1: And he ended up with something totally saturated and turned 1050 01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:00,320 Speaker 1: all that salt and sugar into a And then if 1051 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:02,840 Speaker 1: you took that salt level higher, that's how now you're 1052 01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,440 Speaker 1: into the world of like gravlocks and nova and stuff 1053 01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:07,880 Speaker 1: like that, where you've actually pulled moisture out. So then 1054 01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,680 Speaker 1: that goes into the world of preservatives. And like why 1055 01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 1: as salt a preservative Because salt concentration at a certain 1056 01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:18,680 Speaker 1: level will actually pull the water out of bacteria and 1057 01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,400 Speaker 1: it will kill the bacteria, So it basically will starve 1058 01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,280 Speaker 1: the bacteria of the necessary water that it needs, and 1059 01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,480 Speaker 1: the bacteria will die because of it. That's what's happening. 1060 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:31,360 Speaker 1: I knew it was happening, but I know that that's 1061 01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,720 Speaker 1: what's happened. That's what's happening. And it's interesting that people 1062 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 1: knew something was going on for thousands of years, but 1063 01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,919 Speaker 1: maybe not quite what right. And then you know, people, 1064 01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:43,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll go, but wait, but you have a 1065 01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,360 Speaker 1: lot of salt in other so it's not all bacteria. 1066 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,640 Speaker 1: Things like lactic lactic bacteria like what you expect in 1067 01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:53,720 Speaker 1: sauer kraut, for example, like fermented foods um, they're not 1068 01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:57,200 Speaker 1: affected by losing that moisture content. They can still stay alive. 1069 01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:59,360 Speaker 1: And those are bacteria that are good for us. So 1070 01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,920 Speaker 1: that's how you can select for the one. So the 1071 01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,360 Speaker 1: ones that the ones that are harmful to us need 1072 01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:09,920 Speaker 1: a certain water content and they can be killed by salt. Kevin, 1073 01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,280 Speaker 1: with you explaining all this stuff, I now understand why 1074 01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:16,720 Speaker 1: you're such a good cook. I thought you gonna say, 1075 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,240 Speaker 1: you now understand why you got that lab coat? Yeah, exactly. 1076 01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,640 Speaker 1: A goose Brian this year for you know, trying to 1077 01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:27,680 Speaker 1: make corned beef, and it was by far and away 1078 01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,960 Speaker 1: the most simple Brian I've ever used, and and the 1079 01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,880 Speaker 1: best by far, and it just came out like perfect beef. 1080 01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,800 Speaker 1: Like it was a candidate Canada geese that Sean and 1081 01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:43,120 Speaker 1: I shot in North Dakota and I three goose bress 1082 01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:47,280 Speaker 1: in a week, you know, proving my my theory. And 1083 01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,800 Speaker 1: and then I was like, Okay, I know I'm gonna 1084 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:52,600 Speaker 1: get a bunch of geese in December, and then I 1085 01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:56,160 Speaker 1: never did, and I'm freaking heartbroken. And you know, people, 1086 01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:01,240 Speaker 1: this is like a miss piece of misinformation, um because 1087 01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:04,600 Speaker 1: people talk about preservatives and buying food without preservatives, you know, 1088 01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,760 Speaker 1: and they think that when you go buy a can 1089 01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,680 Speaker 1: of organic tomatoes that means they don't have preservatives, like 1090 01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:14,240 Speaker 1: they still have it. The preservative is salt or it's sugar, 1091 01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:17,680 Speaker 1: where it's both of those things, and so the idea 1092 01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:21,360 Speaker 1: that they somehow are lacking preservatives is completely false. They 1093 01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:25,760 Speaker 1: just aren't using modern you know, modern food production uses 1094 01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:28,640 Speaker 1: a blend of a lot of different ones that attack 1095 01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,080 Speaker 1: very specific bacterial growth. So the reason this is in 1096 01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:35,600 Speaker 1: there is that addresses this bacteria. And so that's why 1097 01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,560 Speaker 1: you might see a laundry list of them because they're 1098 01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:41,280 Speaker 1: going for long as shelf life possible, obviously, and a 1099 01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:43,760 Speaker 1: lot of bacteria is anaerobic, so sealing it up doesn't 1100 01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:45,960 Speaker 1: make any difference, and sometimes, in fact, it makes it worse. 1101 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,920 Speaker 1: What does the sugar do. So the sugar because of 1102 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,400 Speaker 1: its chemical compounds, so it does a couple of things. 1103 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:56,200 Speaker 1: So the sugar in it. Um. Sugar is also a liquifier, 1104 01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,360 Speaker 1: so it does the same thing that salt does. It 1105 01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,040 Speaker 1: will pull moisture out and those cells will try to 1106 01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,880 Speaker 1: achieve that same balance. The real reason you put sugar 1107 01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,200 Speaker 1: in a brine is to affect its overall flavor. Like 1108 01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:08,400 Speaker 1: it just makes it taste better, but it also does 1109 01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:11,560 Speaker 1: accomplish some of that osmotic reaction. You also will increase 1110 01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,120 Speaker 1: surface caramelization and a handful of other things. But um, 1111 01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:18,240 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, most scientists will tell 1112 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:19,720 Speaker 1: you that the main reason that we put them in 1113 01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,320 Speaker 1: there is because we think they taste better at the 1114 01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:23,640 Speaker 1: end of the day, Like we're doing a lot of 1115 01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:25,960 Speaker 1: this for our personal as Steve was talking about with 1116 01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:29,000 Speaker 1: the Werner Bratzler, like you know, and they set the 1117 01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, we said Okay, this is this is what 1118 01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:34,040 Speaker 1: it's is acceptably tender, and you're like, that's not scientific, 1119 01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:37,040 Speaker 1: that's just our opinion. Well, this also goes from science 1120 01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,680 Speaker 1: into opinion at some point where we think in our 1121 01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:42,400 Speaker 1: opinion that it's better this way. And it's the same 1122 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,840 Speaker 1: as the scientists will argue with you that it isn't 1123 01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,760 Speaker 1: juice here or it doesn't increase, like there's no more 1124 01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,640 Speaker 1: juices in the meat, that's just water. And we would say, yeah, 1125 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:55,200 Speaker 1: but the extra water like conveys the extra salt and 1126 01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:57,280 Speaker 1: seasoning and everything else, and it tastes better. Like at 1127 01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,480 Speaker 1: the end of the day, we just think it tastes better. Well, 1128 01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,880 Speaker 1: it's like the is uh, you know, fancy chef types 1129 01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,840 Speaker 1: that are like, oh, you have to clarify your stock now, 1130 01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:08,840 Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, yeah, I want the clouds and 1131 01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,960 Speaker 1: the stuff in there. It tastes better. But yeah, but 1132 01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:13,720 Speaker 1: the clarifying stock, I think it was just like it 1133 01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,960 Speaker 1: is cosmetic, right, Oh, it has to be so your 1134 01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,439 Speaker 1: consummates are clear and that all right. Well that one 1135 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:21,120 Speaker 1: that's in a whole other we're gonna have to say 1136 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:26,920 Speaker 1: that you Sawn's Duck Report will have Kevin's Kevin's consummat 1137 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:43,240 Speaker 1: Kevin's consummate conclusions, Kevin Salt report. Watch this transition. You 1138 01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:47,200 Speaker 1: know how the Warner Bradsler Sheer machine is a machine. 1139 01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:53,280 Speaker 1: Sure so is your phone. And on your phone and 1140 01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,200 Speaker 1: on your phone if you live in Wyoming, you can 1141 01:08:55,240 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 1: now download a new mobile app that acts road kill. 1142 01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:04,640 Speaker 1: It's more complicated that. Why don't we just joined the 1143 01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:09,080 Speaker 1: twenty nine others. It's so surprising to me that there 1144 01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:12,360 Speaker 1: are now thirty states where it's not or it is 1145 01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:16,519 Speaker 1: not a criminal act to eat an animal that a 1146 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:22,880 Speaker 1: car hit in front of you. Interesting kill eating road kill. 1147 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,640 Speaker 1: We grew up. I mean no, I would say all 1148 01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:28,840 Speaker 1: the time, like I would say most years. At some 1149 01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,519 Speaker 1: point we claimed some portion of Michigan. You claim some 1150 01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:33,840 Speaker 1: portion of a deer, you had to call the police 1151 01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:35,559 Speaker 1: and tell them you could bring it home. The cops 1152 01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:37,040 Speaker 1: that come out and give you a permit, whatever. It's 1153 01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,080 Speaker 1: just the thing you could do. Some guy in front 1154 01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,439 Speaker 1: of you clips the deer in the head and keep 1155 01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:43,600 Speaker 1: it for a long time. You weren't allowed to do 1156 01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,200 Speaker 1: that in Montana. And I always wanted to go to court. 1157 01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,479 Speaker 1: I wanted to do like a civil disobedience thing. And 1158 01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,200 Speaker 1: go to court and be like, yes, your honor um, 1159 01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:55,120 Speaker 1: I ate a piece of a deer that someone's car 1160 01:09:55,280 --> 01:10:01,560 Speaker 1: ran over. Guilty, throw the book guilty right, just to 1161 01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:03,080 Speaker 1: see what he'd end up saying. But then they made 1162 01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:05,040 Speaker 1: it illegal. Wyoming just do the same thing. So now 1163 01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,200 Speaker 1: thirty states that will allow people to collect road kill 1164 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:12,280 Speaker 1: for food in certain circumstances. It's at warn't point now 1165 01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,360 Speaker 1: here in Alaska. It's long been a think, but only 1166 01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:18,040 Speaker 1: that they have a waiting list in Alaska. You can 1167 01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:23,000 Speaker 1: get on a list what Fairbanks Anchorage. You get on 1168 01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,280 Speaker 1: the list, someone hits some moose, go down the list, 1169 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:30,200 Speaker 1: our calling phone numbers because hundreds of pounds. I like that. 1170 01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:33,760 Speaker 1: I actually ate road kill moose in Alaska. I stayed 1171 01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:35,599 Speaker 1: with a family who was on the list and they 1172 01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,479 Speaker 1: got a whole high and quarter. It was big. Yeah, 1173 01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:40,760 Speaker 1: And think about the moose too. It's like they're so 1174 01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,040 Speaker 1: big that even if you clocked let's let's say you 1175 01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:46,439 Speaker 1: clocked the back half of it, there's still two hundred 1176 01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:48,519 Speaker 1: pounds of it laying in the front half of it, 1177 01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:52,160 Speaker 1: you know. But Wyoming has this thing now, so you 1178 01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:55,240 Speaker 1: can download a mobile app. It allows you to claim 1179 01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:58,439 Speaker 1: road kill. But then also it collects the data to 1180 01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:02,719 Speaker 1: help highway offish and biologists decide where to put signs 1181 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,120 Speaker 1: that warrnt of animal crossings on roads. It could even 1182 01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,519 Speaker 1: have who knows, some kind of long term implications for 1183 01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:14,160 Speaker 1: um wild they've crossings. State Wildlife and highway officials rolled 1184 01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:17,400 Speaker 1: out the app, which they're saying possibly the first of 1185 01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:20,000 Speaker 1: its kind in the US, which I read. I read 1186 01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:24,040 Speaker 1: to mean they don't know of any others, but didn't 1187 01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:29,040 Speaker 1: spend that much time looking. Yeah, probably say to say 1188 01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:31,760 Speaker 1: the first of its kind. They don't want to overam it. 1189 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,960 Speaker 1: They don't want to overstep. They're being modest. Possibly the 1190 01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:38,040 Speaker 1: first of its kind in the US. This winner when 1191 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,240 Speaker 1: they joined the thirty year or so states that allow 1192 01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:44,519 Speaker 1: people to collect road kill for food. So it's a 1193 01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:52,040 Speaker 1: department transportation app you can quickly claim accidentally killed deer, elk, moose, 1194 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:57,560 Speaker 1: wild bison, and wild turkey after documenting the animal and 1195 01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:03,400 Speaker 1: reviewing the rules for collecting road kill to eat. Another 1196 01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:05,760 Speaker 1: thing is there's some rules around it, like they don't 1197 01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,160 Speaker 1: want you out in the dark along certain highways. They 1198 01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,439 Speaker 1: don't want you out in the dark on construction zones. Right, 1199 01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:13,519 Speaker 1: So there's something kind of walhed you through it a 1200 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:18,320 Speaker 1: gripe I have with Montana's road kill law. Once you 1201 01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:21,720 Speaker 1: touch everything, you gotta take everything, okay, guts and all. 1202 01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:24,599 Speaker 1: You can't gourmet butcher on the side of the road, 1203 01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,479 Speaker 1: which is like the normal thing, right right right. If 1204 01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:30,320 Speaker 1: if some guy in front of you hit a deer 1205 01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:34,800 Speaker 1: in the head, you might just strip out the backstraps. 1206 01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:39,560 Speaker 1: You can't. You can't gut it, the whole steve. What's 1207 01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:44,519 Speaker 1: the law if somebody hit a buck, you take the 1208 01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:48,080 Speaker 1: whole thing, the whole animal, the whole thing. Unfortunately happens. 1209 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:49,800 Speaker 1: If you want to get you can't get it taxed 1210 01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,840 Speaker 1: me though, could you? It doesn't know, it doesn't come 1211 01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:56,000 Speaker 1: across you having like a tag issue. It's not yours 1212 01:12:56,080 --> 01:13:02,120 Speaker 1: like you claim the animal and then highway patrol or 1213 01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:07,000 Speaker 1: Montana Fishing Game validates that for you. Right in Montana. 1214 01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,439 Speaker 1: That's how I wish he was here to explain it. 1215 01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:11,000 Speaker 1: I had a friend that had been watched and in 1216 01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:13,880 Speaker 1: this in Montana, was watching a big white tail on 1217 01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,840 Speaker 1: a trail camera and they found it dead. Here's how 1218 01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:20,760 Speaker 1: the story went. They found it dead, but it's like 1219 01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:24,160 Speaker 1: fifty yards off the road, Okay, He's like, obviously got 1220 01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:26,679 Speaker 1: hit by car, dragged itself into the woods and died. 1221 01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:33,920 Speaker 1: He wanted the antlers called, and I couldn't get it 1222 01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:36,240 Speaker 1: sorted out in the state took it away. So does 1223 01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:39,639 Speaker 1: the animal still like? But what about the whole road 1224 01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,680 Speaker 1: kill thing? Right, That's what I'm saying. It was too 1225 01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:44,479 Speaker 1: far along. It's like, I don't know if you're gonna 1226 01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:46,120 Speaker 1: do like a knee crops you on a dried up 1227 01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:47,920 Speaker 1: carcass found out in the woods and tell me that 1228 01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:49,639 Speaker 1: it's whatever, But we don't know that that's what happened 1229 01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:51,519 Speaker 1: to it. So it isn't the distance from the road. 1230 01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,840 Speaker 1: It was the time from death. This wasn't fresh. It 1231 01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:58,479 Speaker 1: is funny like in November peak deer rut in Montana. 1232 01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,240 Speaker 1: I mean you see a lot of decapitated road kill. 1233 01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:07,080 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Georgia as well. You know, like you go 1234 01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:08,559 Speaker 1: down the road and you're like, that must have been 1235 01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:11,240 Speaker 1: a buck doesn't have a head anymore. Uh. One time 1236 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:15,640 Speaker 1: I was my buddy Julian and I had heard of 1237 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:16,960 Speaker 1: like tagged out. I can't hember what it was. I 1238 01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:18,760 Speaker 1: was just sleeping on the couch and he left in 1239 01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:21,439 Speaker 1: the dark to go deer hunting, but then got back 1240 01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:26,920 Speaker 1: in the dark. I should tell the story because never mind, 1241 01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:31,479 Speaker 1: well we'd all been drinking. So what I was gonna 1242 01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:33,840 Speaker 1: tell is the story of an individual that wasn't his name. 1243 01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:36,920 Speaker 1: His name was definitely not Julia. I was screwed up 1244 01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:40,400 Speaker 1: about that part. But anyways, came back very quickly before 1245 01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:45,040 Speaker 1: it was even light out with the deer because he 1246 01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:48,880 Speaker 1: picked up a hit one tagged to hit one a 1247 01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:53,479 Speaker 1: road kill, and he thought, oh, that's good enough for me. Yeah, 1248 01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:56,120 Speaker 1: he's like back to bed, but I can't remember his name. 1249 01:14:56,880 --> 01:15:01,519 Speaker 1: Oh if Chester has the app up the road, yeah, 1250 01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:06,160 Speaker 1: you can just like say I hit a badger. You can, 1251 01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:12,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. You can line are animals slept from? 1252 01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,400 Speaker 1: Or you just type in animals. Yeah, So it's as 1253 01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:17,720 Speaker 1: report a road kill and then you click on that 1254 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:21,559 Speaker 1: and there's antelope, bighorn, sheep, black bear, coyote, deer, elk, 1255 01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:26,759 Speaker 1: grizzly bear, moose, mountain goat, mountain lion, wild bison, wild turkey, 1256 01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:29,519 Speaker 1: and wolf. Those are the options. I feel like if 1257 01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,200 Speaker 1: you were reporting a bison that would already be reported 1258 01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:38,760 Speaker 1: by the giant NASCAR accident, it was still right there. Yeah, 1259 01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:41,320 Speaker 1: and there's like a little map that pops up. I 1260 01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,439 Speaker 1: haven't found any fresh road kills. I've been we have 1261 01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:47,840 Speaker 1: people been getting in there, man, look at that, but passionately. 1262 01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:51,400 Speaker 1: So this is through the Wyoming Department of Transportation. So 1263 01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:55,920 Speaker 1: like this has the icy roads and all that, but 1264 01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:57,560 Speaker 1: I got it all clouded up with a bunch of 1265 01:15:57,560 --> 01:15:59,880 Speaker 1: stuff no one cares about. But also part of the 1266 01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:02,160 Speaker 1: part of the point of the app is so that 1267 01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:07,040 Speaker 1: people can see where there are an increased number of collisions, 1268 01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:12,799 Speaker 1: and that people know where to put up Whatever state agency, 1269 01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,120 Speaker 1: maybe it's the Department of Transportation, I don't know, or 1270 01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:18,160 Speaker 1: not the Department of Transportation, whatever state agency in Wyoming 1271 01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:20,400 Speaker 1: would put signs up on the side of the road 1272 01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:23,960 Speaker 1: to say, like animal crossing, you know, be careful. Or 1273 01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:26,559 Speaker 1: maybe maybe you can draw the pin on where there's 1274 01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:31,000 Speaker 1: a police officer staked out checking speeds or whatever. Maybe 1275 01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,280 Speaker 1: that too. I think there's another called that. It's called 1276 01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:37,439 Speaker 1: ways quick correction. I have to make a correction as well, 1277 01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:39,160 Speaker 1: when you get a chance. Is it about what you 1278 01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,080 Speaker 1: just said? I realized that I said seven percent to 1279 01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:45,080 Speaker 1: you when I meant to say point seven percent point seven. 1280 01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:47,040 Speaker 1: I didn't know enough about what we're talking about. But 1281 01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:49,400 Speaker 1: I don't want some like scientists calling in and being 1282 01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:53,719 Speaker 1: like he's wrong. Point seven not seven? Is it natural salinity? 1283 01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:58,639 Speaker 1: Which is why a briand of seven creates the ideal scenario. 1284 01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:02,120 Speaker 1: Cran do you want to do your own crack? Sure? Okay, 1285 01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:04,639 Speaker 1: Crens got hit a crack. She screwed something not real bad. Yeah, 1286 01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 1: big screw up, Yeah, huge screw up. No. I I 1287 01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:15,840 Speaker 1: thought that the South Dakota UM bounty for youth trappers, 1288 01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:19,439 Speaker 1: the youth season was in its first year, so that 1289 01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:21,439 Speaker 1: was my bad. This was this will actually be the 1290 01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:25,560 Speaker 1: fourth year. UM. Many folks from South Dakota wrote in 1291 01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:28,280 Speaker 1: about that, but a couple of folks pointed out that 1292 01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:31,400 Speaker 1: the reason why the bounty cap is at at a 1293 01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:33,920 Speaker 1: five nine. Yeah, we we were like, why can't a 1294 01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:35,640 Speaker 1: kid just poured the coles to it make a ton 1295 01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:38,960 Speaker 1: of money they caught them off at is for tax purposes. 1296 01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:40,920 Speaker 1: I guess you can probably go up to just under 1297 01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:44,640 Speaker 1: six hundred, uh, in which case you'd be issued a 1298 01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:48,360 Speaker 1: six hundred is like the cut off minimum for where 1299 01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:53,479 Speaker 1: you'd beat issued a T. They don't want to kids, Yeah, well, 1300 01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:56,639 Speaker 1: and hold on, it's not just kids, the early part 1301 01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:01,280 Speaker 1: of this first month. That's we're kind of covering, is 1302 01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:03,120 Speaker 1: that to let the kids get a crack at it first. 1303 01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:06,360 Speaker 1: You know the thing that because I listened to you 1304 01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:09,240 Speaker 1: guys talk about it, and obviously I live there and 1305 01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:15,759 Speaker 1: see it, um Sean was all the people writing it emils. 1306 01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:19,360 Speaker 1: It's been a busy week.

There was nothing overboard 1324 01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,200 Speaker 1: about that. That was just beautiful. It was good. He 1325 01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:27,840 Speaker 1: poured the coals to it. Chester. How's that? How's that 1326 01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:32,120 Speaker 1: chocolate covered peep treating you? The dudes eating the evidence? 1327 01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,320 Speaker 1: That is, No, we didn't. We didn't decapitate that one. 1328 01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:38,439 Speaker 1: No course sample, that's actual bird. It's a marshmall funny 1329 01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:41,759 Speaker 1: with sugar on it. Is it better than the regular peeple? 1330 01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:46,679 Speaker 1: More flavorful? Oh yeah, for sure. Purchased with mediator Amax. 1331 01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:51,479 Speaker 1: But like I but like I said, Kevin, you toast 1332 01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:54,400 Speaker 1: these with the sugar on the outside caramelizes it if 1333 01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:56,439 Speaker 1: you like a toast and marshmallows.

But 1336 01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:07,479 Speaker 1: I needed a good idea to say, hypothetically, if only 1337 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:09,920 Speaker 1: we'd run a Graham cracker behind that peep instead of 1338 01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:11,800 Speaker 1: a piece of bread. We've been two thirds of the 1339 01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:17,639 Speaker 1: way too. Smore, Kenny Warner, what's been going on?

Um, I feel like I have been 1342 01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:28,880 Speaker 1: spending way too much time listening to songs about excavators 1343 01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:33,840 Speaker 1: because you have to have a child. I was like, 1344 01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:36,080 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here trying to think of one song about 1345 01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,800 Speaker 1: the next guy. Even earlier, when I was like, Oh, Chester, 1346 01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,759 Speaker 1: don't they call you THET I was thinking investigator because 1347 01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:44,520 Speaker 1: it rhymes with excavator, and I have all these excavator 1348 01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:48,120 Speaker 1: songs in my head. Your boys in that era were 1349 01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:53,759 Speaker 1: like machinery, earth moving equipment, anything, any yeah, heavy equipment, 1350 01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:57,320 Speaker 1: he corrects me. And he's only two, but he'll tell me, like, no, 1351 01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:03,760 Speaker 1: it's a front loader.

Think about that? Would he would? He 1360 01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:31,760 Speaker 1: does he like any kind of machinery type stuff, any 1361 01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:36,400 Speaker 1: kind of contraptions he does. He likes forklifts.

No, we didn't sell 1368 01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,960 Speaker 1: so creeped out. The whole thing is bleeped out. I 1369 01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:10,240 Speaker 1: thought it just bleeped out the bad words we hear. 1370 01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:16,680 Speaker 1: We hear you say rats, big baby, I want to 1371 01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:18,600 Speaker 1: hear the other dirty Dames. So good. It has to 1372 01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:22,600 Speaker 1: do with contractors. His experience is hanging out with some contractors. 1373 01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:30,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna tell no other than that. Um, I'm just 1374 01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:32,559 Speaker 1: I'm happy to be here. You hung out with Kevin 1375 01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,880 Speaker 1: and film with I got to hang out and cook 1376 01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 1: some octopus with Kevin yesterday and that was amazing, subjectively tender. 1377 01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:42,120 Speaker 1: We haven't run it through the Warner Bratler yet, but 1378 01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:48,040 Speaker 1: we feel like it was social. So good. That's the 1379 01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:53,960 Speaker 1: name of my new album. And uh and you're gonna 1380 01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:57,280 Speaker 1: You're gonna be working on a spear fishing series. I am. 1381 01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:59,080 Speaker 1: I didn't know we were allowed to talk about that. 1382 01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:06,679 Speaker 1: Don't say too much. We could say it's still totally 1383 01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:10,120 Speaker 1: in the works. Nothing has been filmed yet, but we've 1384 01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:13,439 Speaker 1: got a lot of good ideas for this for part 1385 01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:18,000 Speaker 1: series of spear fishing that will be on Meat Eaters YouTube. 1386 01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:21,000 Speaker 1: That's gonna be exciting, I hope. So. Yeah, I think 1387 01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:24,880 Speaker 1: so people like watching spear fishing stuff. It's fascinating. I 1388 01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:28,200 Speaker 1: mean it's like taking someone to another planet, like you 1389 01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:31,479 Speaker 1: literally are leaving the world that you know and being 1390 01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:34,800 Speaker 1: able to be the eyes for people who don't get 1391 01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:38,040 Speaker 1: to get down there and see it and and maybe 1392 01:23:38,120 --> 01:23:42,519 Speaker 1: won't and maybe won't. Yeah, so I really like it. 1393 01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:46,400 Speaker 1: I think it's fascinating no matter what. But um, it's 1394 01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:48,800 Speaker 1: been it's been really nice to see that so many 1395 01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:52,120 Speaker 1: people who don't even live by the ocean, how fascinating 1396 01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:56,760 Speaker 1: it is for them to Yeah. Sure, uh And then 1397 01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:01,040 Speaker 1: you did like an early was it was it your 1398 01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:07,000 Speaker 1: first duck hunt? Oh? Absolutely? Sean here, Yeah, famous for 1399 01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:13,519 Speaker 1: you might know him from Sean's Duck Report. Yeah, duck 1400 01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:16,160 Speaker 1: hunting is something I mean I don't I never knew 1401 01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:18,799 Speaker 1: a lot about it. I just really liked the idea 1402 01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:21,679 Speaker 1: of going out and getting a duck or a goose, 1403 01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:24,280 Speaker 1: And I didn't know there's a big difference between those two. 1404 01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:27,879 Speaker 1: But when you start throwing in buggers down the old Bratsler, 1405 01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:32,160 Speaker 1: then we'll see the difference. But growing up in Hawaii, 1406 01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:36,080 Speaker 1: it's just um, apparently we're the only state that doesn't 1407 01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:40,200 Speaker 1: have duck hunting. So yeah, Hawaii is the only state 1408 01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:45,320 Speaker 1: without a waterfowl season because Hawai does get birds that 1409 01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:50,040 Speaker 1: migrate down like pintails and stuff even and they don't 1410 01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:55,080 Speaker 1: want to like persuade those birds to not migrate to 1411 01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:59,080 Speaker 1: why because it's such a because we're the most isolated 1412 01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:01,120 Speaker 1: land mass on the on it. So they're afraid that 1413 01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:03,360 Speaker 1: if there's pressure put on them, they'll just be like, oh, 1414 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:05,880 Speaker 1: we'll find somewhere else to go. Is that gonna you're 1415 01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:09,160 Speaker 1: not gonna like, you're not gonna use that to fulfill 1416 01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:12,280 Speaker 1: that little tidbit right there to fulfill your contract obligations 1417 01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:14,840 Speaker 1: about Shawn's dark report, Are you no, no, because you 1418 01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:17,679 Speaker 1: could have milked the whole one out of that. Okay, 1419 01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,240 Speaker 1: I don't want you to now claim it as like 1420 01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:24,599 Speaker 1: check it off your list, but just the heads up. Yeah, 1421 01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:26,400 Speaker 1: that would have been good. Done the whole dock report 1422 01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:28,400 Speaker 1: well and be done for the month. Or maybe I'll 1423 01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:30,120 Speaker 1: write an article on that. That's great, that'd be a 1424 01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:34,360 Speaker 1: good one. Yeah, it's pretty interesting that it's so the 1425 01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:37,560 Speaker 1: whole Hawaii chain is a duck refuge pretty much. I 1426 01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:40,920 Speaker 1: had no idea, And so it's as fascinating to me 1427 01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:43,320 Speaker 1: as the ocean for someone who hasn't seen the ocean, 1428 01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:45,560 Speaker 1: because you don't go out and shoot a duck or 1429 01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:47,639 Speaker 1: a goose and eat it. And that's the only things 1430 01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,280 Speaker 1: that like I read about in little, you know, fairy 1431 01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:53,839 Speaker 1: tale books and stuff. So the whole idea of bringing 1432 01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:56,320 Speaker 1: a duck home and putting it on the table just 1433 01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:59,439 Speaker 1: seemed literally out of this world to me. And then 1434 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:03,800 Speaker 1: caw came to visit um when when you guys all 1435 01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:05,920 Speaker 1: came down to go spear fishing, and he brought me 1436 01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:11,320 Speaker 1: some mallards and gave me very so fat and gave 1437 01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:14,840 Speaker 1: me very specific instructions on how to cook it. I'm 1438 01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:17,759 Speaker 1: not screwed up, not to screw it up. Cow's always 1439 01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:23,720 Speaker 1: tell me not to screw it up, and so and 1440 01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:27,679 Speaker 1: I didn't. And it was literally one of the most 1441 01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:31,680 Speaker 1: delicious things I've ever eaten, and so that just elevated 1442 01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:34,960 Speaker 1: my infatuation with the idea of being able to get 1443 01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:37,240 Speaker 1: my own bird so much. Can we back up on 1444 01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:40,439 Speaker 1: the Hawaii thing from it? Is that prohibition on duck 1445 01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:45,599 Speaker 1: hunting so ingrained that people just don't even what's going 1446 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:51,120 Speaker 1: on you're digging around with people just don't even think 1447 01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:55,200 Speaker 1: about he's so ingrained that did it? Like for let 1448 01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:58,040 Speaker 1: me gear, for instance, in Michigan, you could not hunt 1449 01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:01,800 Speaker 1: doves because of some if you low but everybody around 1450 01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:04,800 Speaker 1: you can hunt dubs, So people would not a day 1451 01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:10,599 Speaker 1: goes by. That's an exaggeration, not a month goes by. 1452 01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:14,240 Speaker 1: Someone does a bit about not being able to hunt dubs. No, 1453 01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:16,240 Speaker 1: it's not. I wouldn't say it's the same at all. 1454 01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:20,080 Speaker 1: And I think it's because we are so isolated and 1455 01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:22,919 Speaker 1: that it's not like we're just looking over our shoulders 1456 01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,880 Speaker 1: and there's a state right next to us hunting ducks. 1457 01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:28,360 Speaker 1: You know, it's like we're on our own. We're in 1458 01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:30,280 Speaker 1: the middle of the ocean, in the middle of nowhere, 1459 01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:33,280 Speaker 1: and so I don't think we have that comparison. I 1460 01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:36,439 Speaker 1: don't even think it's a thought in most people's heads. Like, 1461 01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:39,080 Speaker 1: I didn't know that we were the only state that 1462 01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:41,760 Speaker 1: didn't have duck hunting until Sean told me that. I 1463 01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,920 Speaker 1: just knew that I've never seen somebody bring home a duck, 1464 01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:48,400 Speaker 1: you know, you know, uh, I was in one of 1465 01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:50,479 Speaker 1: the times I was in South America on on on 1466 01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:54,880 Speaker 1: a river trip down there. There's birds, like every kind 1467 01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:57,519 Speaker 1: of bird all overplace all the time. It's just like birds, birds, birds, 1468 01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:02,400 Speaker 1: you know, um and the Amberanians like they know what 1469 01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:04,760 Speaker 1: they are, but there's only certain like ones that look 1470 01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:08,080 Speaker 1: very grouse like that they're interested in. And they have 1471 01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,599 Speaker 1: to sort of catch all phrase for edible birds. They 1472 01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:13,040 Speaker 1: know them individually, but sort of the same way we'd say, 1473 01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:16,880 Speaker 1: like game bird, they have a word. Well, one day, 1474 01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:19,200 Speaker 1: it's kind of seemed very out of place. You're in 1475 01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:21,560 Speaker 1: the jungle, but here comes a duct it looks like 1476 01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:22,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what it was, but it looks like 1477 01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:26,160 Speaker 1: a hand mold lands on the side of the river 1478 01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,920 Speaker 1: out in front of us in the jungle, and I thought, 1479 01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:32,080 Speaker 1: for a second, I aren't these boys if that's sort 1480 01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:37,639 Speaker 1: of in there game bird on their game bird radar. 1481 01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:40,519 Speaker 1: And as that bird landed, the bows that came out 1482 01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:43,920 Speaker 1: of the bottom of that boat. I was like, Okay, 1483 01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:52,640 Speaker 1: they're onto it, don't don't need me to help. Very 1484 01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:58,360 Speaker 1: short lived thought. You were like, so I'm gonna talk 1485 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:02,120 Speaker 1: about the continuation. Sean gave you an invite, Okay, cool. Yeah, 1486 01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:06,080 Speaker 1: So basically, well you gave me the invite, Steve, because 1487 01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:09,320 Speaker 1: I started talking about how I always wanted to, you know, 1488 01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:11,920 Speaker 1: bring home a duck, and so then you invited. You 1489 01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:19,320 Speaker 1: introduced me to Sean and no, no, I love the 1490 01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:22,920 Speaker 1: idea of getting someone introduced to it to even see 1491 01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:26,880 Speaker 1: what it's about, because for me, the knowledge goes like 1492 01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:31,200 Speaker 1: so advanced on some things that to back it up 1493 01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:33,479 Speaker 1: to square one of like okay, we want the wind 1494 01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:37,479 Speaker 1: at our back. Okay, that's a duck. That was a 1495 01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:40,080 Speaker 1: huge thing. I was like, is that a duck. He's like, Nope, 1496 01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:44,439 Speaker 1: that's a that's a turn. That's a seagull. And like 1497 01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:49,400 Speaker 1: I like, I, hands down am the most green person 1498 01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:53,880 Speaker 1: that Sean ever took the biggest newbie ever, Like I 1499 01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:59,000 Speaker 1: never even shot a shotgun before. I was like intimidated 1500 01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:01,320 Speaker 1: by it at first, and he would say, like start 1501 01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:03,960 Speaker 1: talking about the different parts of it. I had no 1502 01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:08,120 Speaker 1: idea what he was talking about. Um, it was all. 1503 01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:10,200 Speaker 1: It was all so new to me. It was like 1504 01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:12,439 Speaker 1: such it was first of all, such a privilege to 1505 01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:14,680 Speaker 1: just like kind of come in and have someone like 1506 01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 1: Sean be there to show me the ropes. But like 1507 01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:21,000 Speaker 1: it was just I was I was in awe of 1508 01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:24,559 Speaker 1: it all, like the fact that I know they're called blinds, 1509 01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:27,480 Speaker 1: but we got to like build a fort in the wilderness. 1510 01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:31,680 Speaker 1: That was so cool. Like like Sean was like, yeah, 1511 01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:35,040 Speaker 1: go get those you know, dead old um tumbleweeds. I'm 1512 01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:39,640 Speaker 1: like tumble one on cartoons. Like it was all like 1513 01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:43,120 Speaker 1: I was giddy. I was just like, oh my gosh, 1514 01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:46,559 Speaker 1: and like home decor, like make this a pretty little 1515 01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:50,400 Speaker 1: fort and yeah, and I asked him a lot of 1516 01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:53,519 Speaker 1: questions where I just saw like his face kind of 1517 01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:56,439 Speaker 1: going into shock and realized that he had to really 1518 01:30:57,040 --> 01:31:00,640 Speaker 1: back it up with, Um how fundamental we had to 1519 01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:03,519 Speaker 1: go to teach me about duck hunting. But I loved 1520 01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:07,880 Speaker 1: every second of it. Yeah, that was definitely the exciting part. 1521 01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:10,320 Speaker 1: When you would text me about me and Kimmy going 1522 01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:14,479 Speaker 1: duck hunting. Was I mean, I didn't realize quite how 1523 01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:17,800 Speaker 1: basic I'd get with it. Um, you know, like the 1524 01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:21,559 Speaker 1: night before we're talking about hen and Drake's I'm like, okay, 1525 01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:25,280 Speaker 1: wait no, so that's male female, you know, like stuff 1526 01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:28,320 Speaker 1: like that, which is it's it's fun to get to 1527 01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:31,960 Speaker 1: that level. It was, it was that was the exciting part. 1528 01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:35,120 Speaker 1: I never wore waiters before in my life, and I 1529 01:31:35,680 --> 01:31:37,600 Speaker 1: remember how small my boots were, and I had to 1530 01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:39,920 Speaker 1: pull them on b all your plaers every day. We 1531 01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:43,360 Speaker 1: had to use like a her boot size was for 1532 01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:47,200 Speaker 1: what her actual foot size would be right, but not 1533 01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:50,519 Speaker 1: with big heavy socks on. And then she was you know, 1534 01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:54,840 Speaker 1: she was wearing stocking foot and so she had to 1535 01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:59,400 Speaker 1: use like a monkey wrench to like jack the boot 1536 01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:02,799 Speaker 1: would know what happened her. After that, I said, Steve, 1537 01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:06,160 Speaker 1: a picture of me plucking off my bonails. All the 1538 01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:09,479 Speaker 1: tonils fell off. You don't want us. You might be 1539 01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:15,640 Speaker 1: right now naked, hairless kittens or something. I don't even know. 1540 01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:20,280 Speaker 1: I sent Cali video to d think just like I mean, 1541 01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:25,719 Speaker 1: like just the tonail. Like in that video there's Buddy's 1542 01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:31,280 Speaker 1: little commentary going, okay that from the boot that is 1543 01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:34,280 Speaker 1: just another in excruciating page. I was just really happy 1544 01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:36,960 Speaker 1: to be there, so I wasn't complaining, how the heck 1545 01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:40,320 Speaker 1: did you handle that? Had I had the h from 1546 01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:42,400 Speaker 1: I had. I lost a few of them one time, 1547 01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:47,280 Speaker 1: just from walking down a steep hill and like a 1548 01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:50,920 Speaker 1: long walk, and I could feel it. Yeah, and then 1549 01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:52,960 Speaker 1: and then I don't want it wasn't a month later 1550 01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:56,639 Speaker 1: a couple of them came off. Yeah, that's just another 1551 01:32:56,760 --> 01:33:01,240 Speaker 1: evolution in the in the suffering that we were, absolute suffering. 1552 01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:03,880 Speaker 1: That was. It's a good way to keep a kid happy. 1553 01:33:04,120 --> 01:33:09,360 Speaker 1: I took my tonail off for my nephew like that. 1554 01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:12,759 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I just couldn't. He was like running circles 1555 01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:17,800 Speaker 1: around the chair. I couldn't quite grasp at all. Like 1556 01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:20,240 Speaker 1: it's kind of weird. I had his song cales. Tonails 1557 01:33:20,240 --> 01:33:23,160 Speaker 1: were always coming up. Yeah, buddy kept saying, ill, I 1558 01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:37,360 Speaker 1: want to hold it, complainting emotions. You guys hunted a 1559 01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:40,479 Speaker 1: place that a lot of people don't um regard as 1560 01:33:40,479 --> 01:33:42,599 Speaker 1: a big duck hunt state. And remember what our buddy 1561 01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:45,519 Speaker 1: Carl Malcolm was down there for years for work, and 1562 01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:47,439 Speaker 1: he would get into a little ducks now and then 1563 01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:50,400 Speaker 1: in New Mexico. And I remember always being surprised by that, 1564 01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:55,360 Speaker 1: because you know, you form these um everybody does it 1565 01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:59,200 Speaker 1: like you formed his impressions of places. You don't think 1566 01:33:59,280 --> 01:34:03,280 Speaker 1: that a lot of like people I guess where I 1567 01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:05,479 Speaker 1: grew up. I don't think of New Mexico as having 1568 01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:11,200 Speaker 1: right big now alpine right ski areas. You just imagined 1569 01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:13,439 Speaker 1: it being like a bunch of desert and you think 1570 01:34:13,479 --> 01:34:16,639 Speaker 1: it's like sand and cas for whatever the hell reason, right, Yeah, 1571 01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:20,360 Speaker 1: And likewise, you don't think of it as you know, 1572 01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:26,120 Speaker 1: a place that Leopold was doing wetlands research, and you know, 1573 01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:29,720 Speaker 1: you don't think about all the riparian areas. And um, 1574 01:34:30,040 --> 01:34:32,240 Speaker 1: I remember being shocked to learn that the mountain men 1575 01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:37,920 Speaker 1: would work down into New Mexico quite frequently beaver trapping, yeah, 1576 01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:40,320 Speaker 1: and I'm like, how could that be true? And there 1577 01:34:40,360 --> 01:34:48,080 Speaker 1: ice fishing the ice fish. Yeah, it was my decision 1578 01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:53,599 Speaker 1: to go there. Um you know that. And Kimmy Frankly 1579 01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:56,680 Speaker 1: was supposed to be on a different hunt originally then 1580 01:34:56,800 --> 01:35:01,240 Speaker 1: this hunt, and my whole original idea was to get 1581 01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:04,120 Speaker 1: heard of the salt Lake and experience all the variety 1582 01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:08,360 Speaker 1: of salt Lake. But uh, you know, with me catching 1583 01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:11,200 Speaker 1: COVID and a few other things going on, like didn't 1584 01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:14,160 Speaker 1: work out scheduling wise, and uh, I was like you 1585 01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:15,960 Speaker 1: know what, we can still make this work if we 1586 01:35:16,040 --> 01:35:19,400 Speaker 1: go to New Mexico. And where we went in New 1587 01:35:19,479 --> 01:35:22,920 Speaker 1: Mexico it was a place I'd never been, which is 1588 01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:25,400 Speaker 1: a lot of the kind of the you know, it's 1589 01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:27,880 Speaker 1: not the entire premise by any means of duck lore, 1590 01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:33,400 Speaker 1: but we like to go places that are figuring it 1591 01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:36,320 Speaker 1: out right, go figure out ducks on our own, not 1592 01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:41,280 Speaker 1: just taking necessarily the shoe in thing. And so I 1593 01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:43,519 Speaker 1: was going in blind as a bat on this. But 1594 01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:46,080 Speaker 1: we decided, you know, on a place and we were 1595 01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:50,040 Speaker 1: staying in a town called Truth or Consequences, my favorite 1596 01:35:50,080 --> 01:35:52,760 Speaker 1: town name of all time. Yeah, they like it was 1597 01:35:52,800 --> 01:35:55,720 Speaker 1: the game ship, right, tell that story a goofy deal. 1598 01:35:56,320 --> 01:35:58,040 Speaker 1: I think they should go back and change it back. 1599 01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:03,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. I like the name, now tell the story. Yeah, 1600 01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:07,200 Speaker 1: I think we actually finally gave it. It's like credibility. 1601 01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:11,639 Speaker 1: But we'll get into that. So. Yeah, Truth or Truth 1602 01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:17,000 Speaker 1: or Consequences was originally named Hot Springs and then probably 1603 01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:21,200 Speaker 1: the thirtieth Hot Springs and America problem. Yeah, and the 1604 01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:24,679 Speaker 1: I think the mayor back in nineteen fifty or something 1605 01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:28,639 Speaker 1: changed the name to Truth or Consequences after a game 1606 01:36:28,680 --> 01:36:32,840 Speaker 1: show a radio game show that he liked, and so 1607 01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:37,000 Speaker 1: try to lure No, it's like the game show was 1608 01:36:37,080 --> 01:36:43,320 Speaker 1: gonna go record an episode, right and whatever town would 1609 01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:47,000 Speaker 1: name themselves that, and the town voted to name themselves that, 1610 01:36:48,320 --> 01:36:50,400 Speaker 1: and in that game show host would go there like 1611 01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:53,160 Speaker 1: every year for the rest of his life. And it's 1612 01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:59,679 Speaker 1: just so it's disappointing with a name that bad. Sean 1613 01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:02,200 Speaker 1: when when he first picked me up, he's like, man, 1614 01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:04,960 Speaker 1: I thought this name was so badass. And oh yeah, 1615 01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:08,160 Speaker 1: I thought some heavy covered wagon ship went down there, man, 1616 01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:10,040 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He's like, I thought, you know, 1617 01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:12,920 Speaker 1: cowboys were taken out to the desert and given the 1618 01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:15,080 Speaker 1: chance to tell their truth or if not, there left 1619 01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:17,960 Speaker 1: there to die and people cannibalizing each other. I don't 1620 01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:20,519 Speaker 1: know what I thought. I was like, Oh, a name 1621 01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:23,280 Speaker 1: like that, your mind can go wherever you want. To know. 1622 01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:26,360 Speaker 1: It's a game show. Yeah, no, it's a little lackluster, 1623 01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:32,080 Speaker 1: but uh so, yeah, that's where we went and like 1624 01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:36,080 Speaker 1: started Kimmy off right, like throwing her into the fire 1625 01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:40,280 Speaker 1: of learning how to duck hunt. You know, we we 1626 01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:42,720 Speaker 1: had no local contacts, We had no one there like 1627 01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:47,479 Speaker 1: teaching us about the area. We just started driving around, 1628 01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:53,280 Speaker 1: showing up at water and scouting ducks. And the first 1629 01:37:53,439 --> 01:37:55,840 Speaker 1: night we went out scouting, or the first day, I 1630 01:37:55,840 --> 01:38:00,920 Speaker 1: should say, the amount of ducks we've found in this 1631 01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:06,519 Speaker 1: one spot was just staggering. I mean one of those 1632 01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:13,040 Speaker 1: spots where I'm giddy with laughter and I'm good, yeah, yep, 1633 01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:17,000 Speaker 1: And you know, Max is going bananas with the long 1634 01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:21,040 Speaker 1: lens film and NonStop, just stoked, and we're like, you know, 1635 01:38:21,200 --> 01:38:22,760 Speaker 1: this is about as good as you can ask for 1636 01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:26,040 Speaker 1: it to be. And I even remarked to Kimmy, this 1637 01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:29,160 Speaker 1: just seems too good to be true. I'm not gonna 1638 01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:32,960 Speaker 1: get my hopes up. And oh I know where this 1639 01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:40,120 Speaker 1: is going. So yeah. The next morning we so what 1640 01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:43,760 Speaker 1: we had found where we were there was there's this 1641 01:38:43,880 --> 01:38:47,720 Speaker 1: little island on this west side of this lake, and 1642 01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:50,920 Speaker 1: we were kind of pulled up on this island watching 1643 01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:54,240 Speaker 1: these birds. And there was birds all around us out 1644 01:38:54,640 --> 01:38:57,639 Speaker 1: east of us, towards the main big water of the lake, 1645 01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:00,720 Speaker 1: wrapping around north of us and and settling on this 1646 01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:05,599 Speaker 1: west bank to our to the west island, and um, 1647 01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:08,760 Speaker 1: with what the wind was setting up to be, we 1648 01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:11,160 Speaker 1: decided we were instead of setting on this island, we 1649 01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:14,479 Speaker 1: were gonna set on this west bank, and that was 1650 01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:18,160 Speaker 1: kind of our game plan for the morning, which proved 1651 01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:21,960 Speaker 1: to be maybe the worst decoy set up I've ever 1652 01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:25,240 Speaker 1: set in my life. One of those ones where like 1653 01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:28,200 Speaker 1: when the sun comes up and the birds are flying 1654 01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:31,400 Speaker 1: and you realize, like just how bad you screwed the 1655 01:39:31,479 --> 01:39:34,800 Speaker 1: pooch and you're like not in the spot. It's like 1656 01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:37,840 Speaker 1: they like it a hundred yards that way. They hate 1657 01:39:37,960 --> 01:39:42,439 Speaker 1: where we're sitting. And um, but I mean there are 1658 01:39:42,479 --> 01:39:47,439 Speaker 1: so many birds that it just like that wasn't like 1659 01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:53,160 Speaker 1: the end all be all by means and Kimmy, I 1660 01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:55,040 Speaker 1: don't know how far how far into the hunt were we. 1661 01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:58,400 Speaker 1: I mean I think it was it was when the 1662 01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:01,599 Speaker 1: the sun I had just come up, not that long ago. 1663 01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:03,439 Speaker 1: It was pretty early on in the day. Because that 1664 01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:05,840 Speaker 1: day it did end up being pretty slow, Like we 1665 01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:08,040 Speaker 1: saw a lot of birds off in the distance, but 1666 01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:10,600 Speaker 1: as far as any coming and landing in our decoys, 1667 01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:14,200 Speaker 1: it didn't really happen. But in the morning it did, 1668 01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:18,120 Speaker 1: and um, some teals flew by and I and I 1669 01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:21,080 Speaker 1: just remember like the intensity, like you just being like 1670 01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:24,840 Speaker 1: there it does kill him. And and I missed. I 1671 01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:27,120 Speaker 1: missed the first one that flew by, and then a 1672 01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:29,960 Speaker 1: little while later another one came and I was able 1673 01:40:30,040 --> 01:40:33,000 Speaker 1: to nail that one and get my my first duck. Yeah. 1674 01:40:33,080 --> 01:40:38,000 Speaker 1: On her second shot at a duck, ever kills a duck, 1675 01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:41,280 Speaker 1: which was just impressive, you know, because it's I can 1676 01:40:41,360 --> 01:40:43,519 Speaker 1: remember my first duck took a box and a half 1677 01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:46,920 Speaker 1: of shells before. Yeah, but you probably like schooled up 1678 01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:49,320 Speaker 1: and um from spearfish, and you're schooled up and how 1679 01:40:49,360 --> 01:40:54,599 Speaker 1: to like track and track and lead, right, I would 1680 01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:57,519 Speaker 1: hope that the instinct is there. Um, But I was 1681 01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:01,479 Speaker 1: just I was over the moon surprise and just so ecstatic. 1682 01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:07,120 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we're both like that weird moment of 1683 01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:10,240 Speaker 1: where you're giggling with happiness but also like on the 1684 01:41:10,320 --> 01:41:12,599 Speaker 1: edge of teers, you know, just because you're so stoked 1685 01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:16,000 Speaker 1: about the moment. And uh, I think we shot three 1686 01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:19,880 Speaker 1: ducks at more. It was pretty slow, but we like 1687 01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:22,599 Speaker 1: at least kind of got that out of the way. 1688 01:41:22,680 --> 01:41:24,360 Speaker 1: It was pretty slow, and then when the sun came 1689 01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:27,760 Speaker 1: up it was directly in our face too, and the 1690 01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:32,640 Speaker 1: east side of the lake, um was smashing ducks. There 1691 01:41:32,680 --> 01:41:35,240 Speaker 1: was a bunch of hunters over there, and my goodness, 1692 01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:37,720 Speaker 1: like the shots coming from over there, and so we 1693 01:41:37,800 --> 01:41:41,560 Speaker 1: were kind of in this moment of oh, there's that 1694 01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:45,120 Speaker 1: local knowledge, right, like they knew something we didn't know. 1695 01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:48,559 Speaker 1: We saw all these birds over here, but they're shooting them, 1696 01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:53,160 Speaker 1: they're banging them over there and UH. Anyway, so we 1697 01:41:53,720 --> 01:41:57,679 Speaker 1: picked up and get back to the to the boat 1698 01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:03,519 Speaker 1: ramp and UH rangers there and he's just moving the 1699 01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:07,479 Speaker 1: dock and Max gets out of the boat to go 1700 01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:10,000 Speaker 1: get the truck and it's like a long walk back 1701 01:42:10,040 --> 01:42:13,479 Speaker 1: to the truck and he offers Max a ride and 1702 01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:16,680 Speaker 1: Max jumps in with him to get a ride back 1703 01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:22,160 Speaker 1: to the truck. And on their drive back, UM, he 1704 01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:27,080 Speaker 1: asked Max where where we hunted? Max goes the west side. Wait, no, 1705 01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:32,920 Speaker 1: the east side. And that was the extent of the conversation, 1706 01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:35,600 Speaker 1: and then they just like talked about other things and 1707 01:42:35,720 --> 01:42:38,040 Speaker 1: Max even brought that up when he came down back 1708 01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:40,280 Speaker 1: to us.

I 1926 01:55:37,040 --> 01:55:39,720 Speaker 1: didn't want that to be true, Like my brain just 1927 01:55:39,880 --> 01:55:42,920 Speaker 1: didn't want that to be true. I just wanted to 1928 01:55:43,120 --> 01:55:46,760 Speaker 1: find a way where that wasn't true. UM, because I 1929 01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:49,440 Speaker 1: just that was a reality I wasn't quite ready to 1930 01:55:49,520 --> 01:55:53,800 Speaker 1: accept and we had no The other real hard part 1931 01:55:53,840 --> 01:55:57,000 Speaker 1: about it was that I'm pouring over stuff on my 1932 01:55:57,120 --> 01:56:01,080 Speaker 1: computer just trying to find like any way to confirm this, 1933 01:56:01,640 --> 01:56:04,920 Speaker 1: and you know, the state park is closed and there's 1934 01:56:04,960 --> 01:56:07,800 Speaker 1: no phone number for them, and there's no way to 1935 01:56:07,920 --> 01:56:15,280 Speaker 1: figure out how to get ahold of them. And eventually, honestly, 1936 01:56:15,400 --> 01:56:22,240 Speaker 1: looking through some um like emergency information I found on 1937 01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:25,200 Speaker 1: a forum somewhere, you know, recognize that like who you're 1938 01:56:25,200 --> 01:56:28,040 Speaker 1: supposed to call to get ahold of the state park 1939 01:56:28,480 --> 01:56:32,120 Speaker 1: is you're supposed to call the county dispatch, like you're 1940 01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:39,400 Speaker 1: calling nine one one pretty much, um. And we know 1941 01:56:39,600 --> 01:56:42,600 Speaker 1: we can't do that until the next morning pretty much 1942 01:56:42,760 --> 01:56:46,560 Speaker 1: because they're not accessible. They're not available the like the 1943 01:56:47,200 --> 01:56:52,640 Speaker 1: rangers aren't. UM. I had I had texted Cal earlier, 1944 01:56:52,840 --> 01:56:54,840 Speaker 1: just when our car was stuck, and I sent him 1945 01:56:54,880 --> 01:56:56,920 Speaker 1: a picture, and so right when I was calling into bed, 1946 01:56:56,960 --> 01:57:00,280 Speaker 1: he texted me back, put the floor mats under the 1947 01:57:00,360 --> 01:57:03,440 Speaker 1: tires for attraction. And I just wrote back, I'm like, um, 1948 01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:05,960 Speaker 1: we're not stuck, but we have bigger problems than that. 1949 01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:09,880 Speaker 1: And I actually told, you know, call what had happened. 1950 01:57:09,920 --> 01:57:13,480 Speaker 1: And he said to me, like where your exact text, 1951 01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:17,280 Speaker 1: I think was honesty is the best policy, um, and 1952 01:57:17,360 --> 01:57:20,280 Speaker 1: you need to like, you know, call, call and turn 1953 01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:25,280 Speaker 1: yourself in. And I just, man, like, I just felt 1954 01:57:25,280 --> 01:57:31,160 Speaker 1: like a freaking fugitive, you know, Like I I just 1955 01:57:31,200 --> 01:57:33,120 Speaker 1: couldn't even believe that I was reading those words. And 1956 01:57:33,160 --> 01:57:35,520 Speaker 1: so of go to sleep like on those words, like 1957 01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, and like, oh, we're gonna have to like 1958 01:57:37,440 --> 01:57:40,240 Speaker 1: and not and not having like because at that moment, 1959 01:57:40,440 --> 01:57:45,800 Speaker 1: like all you want is that like release of getting 1960 01:57:45,840 --> 01:57:50,720 Speaker 1: it off your chest, right, and it's like it's you know, 1961 01:57:50,840 --> 01:57:53,040 Speaker 1: eleven o'clock at night. There's literally nothing we can do 1962 01:57:53,240 --> 01:57:56,720 Speaker 1: right now. And it was just awful. It was awful. 1963 01:57:57,240 --> 01:58:03,120 Speaker 1: And so we went into the next morning with kind 1964 01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:06,880 Speaker 1: of two things hanging over our head. One that we 1965 01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:10,320 Speaker 1: now know all the footage we've shot so far can't 1966 01:58:10,320 --> 01:58:14,200 Speaker 1: be used, and even if it could be used, it 1967 01:58:14,240 --> 01:58:18,480 Speaker 1: would be wrong of us to use it. And because 1968 01:58:18,480 --> 01:58:22,840 Speaker 1: we're hunting somewhere we couldn't be and I should I 1969 01:58:22,840 --> 01:58:25,560 Speaker 1: should add a clarification on that. The spot that we 1970 01:58:25,640 --> 01:58:29,120 Speaker 1: were hunting is just not open to hunting. It's not 1971 01:58:29,360 --> 01:58:34,280 Speaker 1: a refuge or anything like that. Um, we didn't know 1972 01:58:34,320 --> 01:58:36,760 Speaker 1: what the ramifications were at the time, right, Like, we 1973 01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:40,200 Speaker 1: have no clue what's going to happen ultimately when we 1974 01:58:40,240 --> 01:58:42,200 Speaker 1: do get ahold of the rangers and talk to them 1975 01:58:42,240 --> 01:58:44,640 Speaker 1: about it, Like if you're gonna get coughed and stuffed, right, 1976 01:58:44,760 --> 01:58:48,320 Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking. But so we have that 1977 01:58:48,480 --> 01:58:51,600 Speaker 1: hanging over our head. But we also have this, you know, 1978 01:58:51,800 --> 01:58:56,720 Speaker 1: production matter hanging over our head. And so and I 1979 01:58:56,840 --> 01:58:59,440 Speaker 1: do regret this as a as a producer, for sure. 1980 01:59:00,280 --> 01:59:02,920 Speaker 1: Is you know, the in the morning, like my game 1981 01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:05,800 Speaker 1: plan is, okay, well, let's just start from scratch. Let's 1982 01:59:05,800 --> 01:59:08,440 Speaker 1: start like we never hunted the last two days, because 1983 01:59:08,480 --> 01:59:10,520 Speaker 1: that footage will never see the light of day anyway, 1984 01:59:11,360 --> 01:59:16,760 Speaker 1: and start from ground zero. And I wish I hadn't 1985 01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:19,800 Speaker 1: done that. But Sean just felt so bad because we 1986 01:59:19,920 --> 01:59:22,440 Speaker 1: had these you know, these days of shooting and producing 1987 01:59:22,520 --> 01:59:25,480 Speaker 1: and you're spending someone's production budget, Like that's a lot 1988 01:59:25,560 --> 01:59:27,840 Speaker 1: of pressure when you're the producer of something and it's 1989 01:59:27,840 --> 01:59:29,560 Speaker 1: all on your shoulders. And then to find out we 1990 01:59:29,640 --> 01:59:32,360 Speaker 1: had absolutely nothing usable and not only were we just 1991 01:59:32,960 --> 01:59:36,280 Speaker 1: wasting time not getting a show done, but we're doing 1992 01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:39,920 Speaker 1: things that were illegal. Like that's a lot to hold 1993 01:59:40,240 --> 01:59:44,240 Speaker 1: on your shoulders. And so he instantly went into solution 1994 01:59:44,320 --> 01:59:46,960 Speaker 1: mode of like, how do we save this episode? Can 1995 01:59:47,120 --> 01:59:49,280 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to pretend like this is your first 1996 01:59:49,360 --> 01:59:52,440 Speaker 1: bird all over again? And none of that felt right 1997 01:59:52,760 --> 01:59:54,840 Speaker 1: to any of us. And so now we're filming and 1998 01:59:54,880 --> 01:59:58,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, we had to do a whole intro again, 1999 01:59:59,400 --> 02:00:03,600 Speaker 1: we're not actors or actresses, Like, it just sucked big time. 2000 02:00:03,680 --> 02:00:07,520 Speaker 1: And again, it still wasn't even um. The offices weren't open, 2001 02:00:07,560 --> 02:00:09,720 Speaker 1: so we hadn't even turned ourselves in yet. So you 2002 02:00:09,840 --> 02:00:12,080 Speaker 1: just feel like a big And I'm on the phone 2003 02:00:12,120 --> 02:00:15,080 Speaker 1: with Steve just like trying to find a way to extend, 2004 02:00:16,280 --> 02:00:18,520 Speaker 1: you know, extend our shoots so we can at least 2005 02:00:18,600 --> 02:00:21,680 Speaker 1: have something to come from that we're there and still 2006 02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:24,400 Speaker 1: waiting to hear back from a game Warden or a ranger. 2007 02:00:24,640 --> 02:00:26,640 Speaker 1: And I was just so excited to eat my ducks 2008 02:00:26,680 --> 02:00:28,520 Speaker 1: and now I'm like, they're not even mine. And that 2009 02:00:28,720 --> 02:00:31,200 Speaker 1: was probably one of the most heartbreaking things, was just 2010 02:00:31,400 --> 02:00:38,840 Speaker 1: like tears. This is like my dream, you know, and 2011 02:00:38,920 --> 02:00:41,320 Speaker 1: now I just had this whole variety of pack of 2012 02:00:41,440 --> 02:00:45,640 Speaker 1: birds that like when when you get your prey, there's 2013 02:00:45,680 --> 02:00:49,120 Speaker 1: some sort of emotional connection that happens, just like this attachment, 2014 02:00:49,240 --> 02:00:51,040 Speaker 1: like where it becomes a part of you, and like, 2015 02:00:51,520 --> 02:00:54,000 Speaker 1: all of a sudden is just like those aren't even mine, 2016 02:00:54,680 --> 02:00:57,800 Speaker 1: you know, Like do I even will I even get 2017 02:00:57,880 --> 02:00:59,720 Speaker 1: to eat them? What's going to happen to them? Are 2018 02:00:59,760 --> 02:01:01,440 Speaker 1: they going to go to waste? That was one thing 2019 02:01:01,520 --> 02:01:04,480 Speaker 1: that just kept going through my head, like not only 2020 02:01:05,080 --> 02:01:06,920 Speaker 1: did you kill them in a place you weren't supposed to, 2021 02:01:07,360 --> 02:01:10,320 Speaker 1: but now what's going to happen to these birds? And 2022 02:01:10,560 --> 02:01:13,040 Speaker 1: so we're sitting on the east side where we know 2023 02:01:13,200 --> 02:01:16,560 Speaker 1: we can hunt, where all these guys have been shooting 2024 02:01:16,600 --> 02:01:19,000 Speaker 1: the heck out of birds, and now all of a sudden, 2025 02:01:19,000 --> 02:01:21,800 Speaker 1: the realization hits us, like the reason they were shooting 2026 02:01:21,840 --> 02:01:24,720 Speaker 1: the heck out of birds, it's because we were pushing 2027 02:01:24,760 --> 02:01:28,480 Speaker 1: all the birds out of the spot. Right, and so 2028 02:01:28,600 --> 02:01:31,160 Speaker 1: now we're sitting there waiting for a call back from 2029 02:01:31,960 --> 02:01:35,080 Speaker 1: from the ranger. And now we're sitting there waiting for 2030 02:01:35,160 --> 02:01:39,080 Speaker 1: a call back from the ranger, and it's crickets. We 2031 02:01:39,160 --> 02:01:42,320 Speaker 1: don't like, we don't have a duck anywhere. We didn't 2032 02:01:42,360 --> 02:01:46,000 Speaker 1: see one single all day. You really got to just 2033 02:01:46,040 --> 02:01:51,560 Speaker 1: sit in that blind alone with your feelings. It was miserable. 2034 02:01:51,960 --> 02:01:57,400 Speaker 1: And they're called forts kiming and we and we finally 2035 02:01:57,480 --> 02:02:00,440 Speaker 1: do get called sad for it that day, we finally 2036 02:02:00,520 --> 02:02:04,600 Speaker 1: do get a call from the from the ranger.

It was like, you know what it is, man, 2078 02:04:41,280 --> 02:04:44,680 Speaker 1: There's like a moral component exactly makes it like if 2079 02:04:44,760 --> 02:04:47,800 Speaker 1: someone if if you drive, let's say you're in a 2080 02:04:47,880 --> 02:04:50,800 Speaker 1: seventy mile hour zone and you'd go buy eighty five 2081 02:04:51,640 --> 02:04:54,080 Speaker 1: in a in a police car pulls out with the 2082 02:04:54,200 --> 02:04:58,720 Speaker 1: lights on, you are like damn it. But it's not 2083 02:04:58,800 --> 02:05:02,520 Speaker 1: like a morally sickening feeling. Right, It's like you just 2084 02:05:02,600 --> 02:05:05,200 Speaker 1: wish you weren't going fast, right, It's not like a 2085 02:05:05,440 --> 02:05:10,360 Speaker 1: judgment has been made on your soul. Yeah, you're ashamed 2086 02:05:10,400 --> 02:05:13,240 Speaker 1: of yourself. Oh my god. Yeah. When cal just wrote 2087 02:05:13,320 --> 02:05:15,280 Speaker 1: that to me, like honesty is the best policy and 2088 02:05:15,320 --> 02:05:18,400 Speaker 1: turn yourself and I just felt like a little kid, 2089 02:05:18,760 --> 02:05:22,640 Speaker 1: like being sent to the principal's office, like not wanting 2090 02:05:22,680 --> 02:05:24,920 Speaker 1: to go. I was just like, I wish you didn't 2091 02:05:24,960 --> 02:05:27,360 Speaker 1: tell me that, you know, like I wish you just said, oh, 2092 02:05:27,560 --> 02:05:33,000 Speaker 1: that's okay, can here something. I don't know exactly, but 2093 02:05:33,600 --> 02:05:36,800 Speaker 1: but I will say that when Sean made that call, 2094 02:05:37,320 --> 02:05:40,320 Speaker 1: like before we even knew what the consequences would or 2095 02:05:40,320 --> 02:05:42,160 Speaker 1: would not be, because we had to wait for a 2096 02:05:42,240 --> 02:05:45,080 Speaker 1: call back, But when he made that call, regardless of 2097 02:05:45,200 --> 02:05:47,640 Speaker 1: whether we're all going to go be behind bars, we 2098 02:05:47,760 --> 02:05:51,280 Speaker 1: all felt a hundred times better just from making it. 2099 02:05:51,360 --> 02:05:54,080 Speaker 1: And that was neat to me because I was dreading 2100 02:05:54,280 --> 02:05:56,840 Speaker 1: that moment. I was absolutely that now we're going to 2101 02:05:56,920 --> 02:06:00,400 Speaker 1: say it out loud, and this sickening feeling of shame 2102 02:06:00,640 --> 02:06:02,920 Speaker 1: that I am feeling is going to be all the 2103 02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:05,920 Speaker 1: more real. It was the opposite. When you made that call, 2104 02:06:06,120 --> 02:06:08,440 Speaker 1: I just felt every part of us lightly and just 2105 02:06:08,600 --> 02:06:11,480 Speaker 1: to know that, Okay, no matter what, we're not holding 2106 02:06:11,560 --> 02:06:13,720 Speaker 1: this thing, and we're not holding it in the dark, 2107 02:06:13,800 --> 02:06:17,160 Speaker 1: which is like the intuitive thing I think too. You know, 2108 02:06:17,720 --> 02:06:20,680 Speaker 1: as a human to feel when you screw up is 2109 02:06:20,760 --> 02:06:26,280 Speaker 1: to feel like hiding and and honesty is the best policy. 2110 02:06:26,360 --> 02:06:29,360 Speaker 1: In the minute that you made that call, even though 2111 02:06:29,360 --> 02:06:31,640 Speaker 1: I didn't know what's going to happen, we all felt 2112 02:06:31,720 --> 02:06:35,800 Speaker 1: a lot better. Yeah, and we you know, in the moment, 2113 02:06:36,040 --> 02:06:40,840 Speaker 1: we thought like, after having talked to him, we kind 2114 02:06:40,880 --> 02:06:45,680 Speaker 1: of thought the consequences, at least legally like weren't there. 2115 02:06:46,840 --> 02:06:49,960 Speaker 1: We still saw it as like consequences from a production 2116 02:06:50,080 --> 02:06:51,640 Speaker 1: standpoint of how the hell are we going to get 2117 02:06:51,640 --> 02:06:54,600 Speaker 1: an episode? Like, but now it's like, it feels like 2118 02:06:54,840 --> 02:06:58,800 Speaker 1: the consequences aren't so dire now after talking to him, 2119 02:06:59,560 --> 02:07:02,600 Speaker 1: and then it's like, hold on the Desert does have 2120 02:07:03,080 --> 02:07:05,840 Speaker 1: some consequences for you, Like, you guys aren't getting away 2121 02:07:06,240 --> 02:07:10,440 Speaker 1: that I told that damn story in it bratslor. You 2122 02:07:10,520 --> 02:07:15,880 Speaker 1: wanna talk about a tender story, that tough story, I 2123 02:07:15,960 --> 02:07:21,280 Speaker 1: can't tell it's tougher tender. And so the next morning 2124 02:07:21,480 --> 02:07:23,480 Speaker 1: take a core out of that story. Next morning we 2125 02:07:23,600 --> 02:07:26,880 Speaker 1: kill some ducks at a new place. Yeah. So the 2126 02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:29,960 Speaker 1: next morning we go to a new place and it 2127 02:07:30,160 --> 02:07:35,560 Speaker 1: wasn't your seasoned duck hunt. Yep, by this why she's 2128 02:07:35,560 --> 02:07:39,680 Speaker 1: calling them blind? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, always before it's 2129 02:07:39,720 --> 02:07:42,320 Speaker 1: to me. But we go to this other spot and 2130 02:07:42,680 --> 02:07:45,880 Speaker 1: you know, there was some action, which was way better 2131 02:07:45,960 --> 02:07:48,320 Speaker 1: than not seeing a single duck the day before. But 2132 02:07:48,480 --> 02:07:52,720 Speaker 1: I will say I could not shoot to save my life. 2133 02:07:52,800 --> 02:07:56,520 Speaker 1: And I think it's because I had so much hesitation 2134 02:07:56,720 --> 02:08:00,760 Speaker 1: now over pulling that trigger, because I had gotten into 2135 02:08:00,880 --> 02:08:03,040 Speaker 1: my groove like in a couple of days before, and 2136 02:08:03,120 --> 02:08:06,920 Speaker 1: I had had this amazing experience and whatever, and then 2137 02:08:07,160 --> 02:08:10,760 Speaker 1: that whole thing just got like no, actually you didn't. 2138 02:08:11,040 --> 02:08:13,560 Speaker 1: You were just messing up, and you really screwed up 2139 02:08:13,640 --> 02:08:17,360 Speaker 1: and you did something bad.

Yeah. 2186 02:10:54,440 --> 02:10:57,440 Speaker 1: So we pack up that day after a long, hard 2187 02:10:57,520 --> 02:11:01,760 Speaker 1: day of saying nothing, and we're on our first trip across, 2188 02:11:02,320 --> 02:11:05,120 Speaker 1: headed back to the boat ramp and that fuel tank 2189 02:11:05,240 --> 02:11:08,920 Speaker 1: runs out, which is like nothing abnormal. You know, you 2190 02:11:09,040 --> 02:11:13,240 Speaker 1: have to fuel tanks and go to switch tanks and 2191 02:11:14,240 --> 02:11:20,000 Speaker 1: the boat and start like, for whatever reason, I kept 2192 02:11:20,040 --> 02:11:23,200 Speaker 1: saying that it's flooded. It has to be flooded. Somebody 2193 02:11:23,240 --> 02:11:25,520 Speaker 1: squeeze the ball too much, you know, like it has 2194 02:11:25,600 --> 02:11:27,480 Speaker 1: to be because it was right when we switched the 2195 02:11:27,520 --> 02:11:29,800 Speaker 1: gas tank. It would just have to be a fuel thing. 2196 02:11:30,440 --> 02:11:34,440 Speaker 1: And there must have been something like a slow drain 2197 02:11:34,720 --> 02:11:36,960 Speaker 1: on that battery or whatever the heck. It was like 2198 02:11:37,080 --> 02:11:43,120 Speaker 1: that sucker wouldn't start, and the wind switches and pushes 2199 02:11:43,280 --> 02:11:45,440 Speaker 1: us all the way across the lake to the opposite 2200 02:11:45,560 --> 02:11:47,920 Speaker 1: end where from where the boat ramp is. It's dark, 2201 02:11:48,120 --> 02:11:51,280 Speaker 1: like it's blackout where it's now black. We realize it's 2202 02:11:51,320 --> 02:11:53,320 Speaker 1: not a fuel problem. It's a dead battery. We don't 2203 02:11:53,360 --> 02:11:56,120 Speaker 1: have a spare battery. Were adrift on a cold lake 2204 02:11:56,400 --> 02:11:59,520 Speaker 1: and it's dark, and we're nine miles from a boat 2205 02:11:59,640 --> 02:12:05,960 Speaker 1: ramp um and no polls start on that thing.
