6
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: we'll interview Joel Collander from Rock Island Auction about some

7
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: super rare guns that are for sale. Then we'll get

8
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: a migration report from Matt McCormick, followed by one minute

9
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: fishing with Chester in Wisconsin. After that, we're rank the

10
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: three coolest places we've ever camped. And finally we'll talk

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: to Phil Muskett about one of the most coveted public

12
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: lands jobs in America. But before we do anything, Corey,

13
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: I need to issue an apology to you. Do you

14
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: know why? No, there's not a chance you know why.

15
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: Corey and I were el Conning in October and it

16
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: was a big full moon that night, and I was

17
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: talking about how I am very entertained by doctors and

18
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: school teachers and nurses who say that like the hospital

19
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: is the worse place to work on a full moon.

20
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: Kids are to deal with on a full moon. And

21
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: I said, all these studies have shown that that's not true,

22
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: but I'm glad that they think that that's true. But

23
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: there's multiple studies they are like, that is not the case.

24
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: Which Corey said that he sleeps worse on a full moon,

25
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: and I said, Corey, you fool, there is no chance

26
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: that's the case. Earlier this week, I was having a

27
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: tough time falling asleep, looked out the window, full moon,

28
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: and so I'm like, it was Corey, right, So I

29
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: googled it. There were like six to ten studies saying

30
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: that that is the case. People a harder time falling

31
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: asleep on a full moon and they wake up sooner

32
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 2: on a full moon. They conducted these studies in South America,

33
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: in the United States, in rural areas, in urban areas,

34
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: in laboratories where you didn't even know like what the

35
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: moon was doing that night, and it's like pretty consistently

36
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 2: agreed upon by science that you sleep worse on a

37
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: full moon. So Cory, I'm.

38
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: Sorry, that's all right.

39
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: I hate to say I told you so, but I

40
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 4: mean that was just my own life, you know, things

41
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 4: I noticed in my life. I mean, there's like, what

42
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 4: three nights in a row where it's.

43
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 2: Almost full happened this week? Did you notice that you sleeped?

44
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: Slept any worse?

45
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 4: You know, my house has been in shambles. We had

46
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 4: a little water leak, so we got fans and dehumidifiers

47
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: going nuts. So actually I slept great. But yeah, typically

48
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 4: full moon, like my kid doesn't sleep well. My dog's

49
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 4: up roaming around, needs to go outside and howl at

50
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: the moon or something. So yeah, it's typically a rough

51
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 4: night to sleep, especially out camping. You know, it's a

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 4: little bright.

53
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: See if you ever noticed that full moons they messed

54
00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: with you.

55
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 3: Then, just the fact that it's light out, especially like

56
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: right now when there's snow cover, I just like so,

57
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: I like, yeah, I like darkness when I sleep. So

58
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: but I can't say that I've noticed a difference because

59
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: of the full moon failure.

60
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: Are your boys rowdier on a full moon? You think?

61
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 3: I don't know, I've never noticed any sort of pattern

62
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: like that.

63
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 5: I know a lot of a few days astology people

64
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 5: would would beg to differ a few days ago.

65
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: Were they a real pain in your butt?

66
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 5: You know, actually, for the first time, they they they

67
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 5: weren't a pain in my butt for a while. So

68
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 5: maybe it's like my kids are just the opposite, which

69
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 5: you know, Yeah, I don't know.

70
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: So Corey, going back to our Elk Camp conversation in October,

71
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, that's all right, thank you for the apology.

72
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: I yes, I wonder why that's the case. Must be gravity.

73
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: One of the studies I saw said it's actually more

74
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: rare in children than it affects their sleep, and so

75
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: it's something that's been baked into us by the time

76
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: we're adults. That just messes with you.

77
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 4: Wild Wild world.

78
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,360

00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: You mentioned six, six and seven figure guns. What's the

97
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: most expensive firearm you've ever sold?

98
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: That would be a pair of firearms that was in

99
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: May twenty two, a pair of Remington New Models Russian Revolvers,

100
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: mint condition and graved by one of the finest engravers

101
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: of the century, L. D. Nimshki, and they were presented

102
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: to Ulysses S. Grant Uh That pre sold for five

103
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: point one eight dollars.

104
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Five Is that what you expected those

105
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: guns to yield?

106
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: No, we had a I believe a pre auction estimate

107
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,559
Speaker 1: between between one and three, so we had a seven

108
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: figure estimate on it.

109
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 6: We knew those were special and above and beyond.

110
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: Once you start adding those historic figures, a lot of

111
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: times there's you know, there's no precedent for that.

112
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 6: There's no precedent on you.

113
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: Know what what should are ulysses as grant revolver self

114
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: for So when it comes to auction time, it's sometimes

115
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: you get some fireworks.

116
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's worth what somebody will pay for it.

117
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: How many guns a year do you guys move.

118
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 6: Anymore?

119
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: So we're changing a lot of auction formats, trying to

120
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: do a lot of new things on with online platforms.

121
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: UH currently just about just about underd fifty thousand guns annually.

122
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: Okay, fifty thousand guns moving through Rock Island auction. Now

123
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: I see that you're wearing some gloves today. I assume

124
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: that that's so you can delicately handle some of the firearms

125
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 2: that you're about to show us. And you've got some

126
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: guns that are coming up for auction in February, what

127
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: do you have to share with us?

128
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 6: Sure?

129
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: Well, these are in our February twenty first through twenty

130
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: third Sporting Collector Firearms Auction of the full catalogs on

131
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: our website, so people can do that. You don't need

132
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: to be present, although we certainly encourage people to come.

133
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: If you're in that Dallas Fort Worth area, come see

134
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: the new facility that's in Bedford.

135
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 6: We can talk about that later.

136
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: But one of the ones, when you ask about the

137
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: most expensive guns, one that was on our list for

138
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: a long time was a Cult Walker. You know, it's

139
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: the very very first revolver with the Cult name actually

140
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: on it. And we have one of those coming up

141
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: in February. So it's a model eighteen forty seven. That's

142
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: when Colt would have started using the Walkers absolute just

143
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: as you maybe you can tell just a unit, just

144
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: a unit of a revolver. I mean, the cylinder is

145
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: multiple inches in diameter. They saw hard use. To see

146
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: them in any condition is absolutely phenomenal. They're only one

147
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: thousand made for a military contract, one hundred made for

148
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: the commercial, for the commercial market, and they really, you know,

149
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: our President Kevin Hogan likes to say, you know, they

150
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: really gave Samuel Colt the keys to the men.

151
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 6: They opened up doors for him.

152
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: It was just the start of military contracts as well

153
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: as getting, you know, introducing people on a more powerful

154
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: scale to the to the repeater or to a repeating pistol.

155
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 2: For our audience members who are listening to this show,

156
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: i'd suggest you go over to YouTube and watch this

157
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: one because Joel is handling these guns on the camera here,

158
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: we're going to get to see all these expensive guns.

159
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: What was the original price of that gun when it sold?

160
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 6: Well, the thousand that were sold to the US government,

161
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 6: they sold for twenty five dollars a piece and an

162
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 6: extra three dollars per revolver for accessories in acouterments.

163
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: Wow, okay, And what do you guys expect it to

164
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: sell for next month?

165
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: The Colt Walkers do set the top of the market.

166
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: We've sold examples commercially and otherwise we're right around one

167
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: point eight million. Those are fine condition, all original, but

168
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: there's still examples out there, and like I mentioned, a

169
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: range of conditions. I believe we have the estimate of

170
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: this one twenty five to fifty thousand. It's a really

171
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: good way for someone who, you know, if you don't

172
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: want to spend the moon on a Colt Walker, things

173
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: like this provide a really easy way to do it,

174
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: to get an original, authentic you know, Texas Ranger History

175
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: cult walker and their collection.

176
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: That is a beast of a gun. I see somebody

177
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: in the comments of the live chat saying that they

178
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: would be the unlucky person who would put a dent

179
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: in one of these things. Out of the fifty thousand

180
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: guns that you guys sell a year, I imagine some accident

181
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: has happened along the way right where somebody has fumbled

182
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: a gun, and uh, you guys had a little accident there.

183
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: Have it happened here too much? But again, a lot

184
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: of the guns that come to us, you know, we

185
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: have our premiere auctions, which are kind of the world class.

186
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: Just the best guns in the world are gonna be

187
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: at our premiere auctions. Those you don't see too many

188
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: on with the Sporting collector auctions or some of our

189
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: other arms and accessories auctions. You know, there's a lot

190
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: of really good history in those that aren't in pristine condition.

191
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: You know, they've been used, they've been there, they've done that,

192
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: they've seen combat or they've seen the firing.

193
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 6: Range, so you know, some of them have some marks

194
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 6: on it already.

195
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: And some people prefer that they'd like a gun that's

196
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: been there and done that instead of a safe queen

197
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: or one that missed all the battles. You know, they

198
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: want they want something that a Texas Ranger might have

199
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: had in their holsters.

200
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 6: So it's like I said, we we cater at all.

201
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: Levels, all right, Joel what else do you have to

202
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 2: show us today?

203
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: Well, this next one's gonna be two hands. One of

204
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: our most popular videos of all time is me and

205
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: another gentleman here firing some rifles by J. D.

206
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 6: Jones. JD.

207
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: Jones invented like the Whisper line of cartridges, which of

208
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: course gave rise to three hundred blackout, Famous handgun Hunter,

209
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: Famous Wildcatter also did some rifle cartridges and rifle rounds,

210
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: and this is one of them.

211
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 6: This guy's chambered in seven hundred JD.

212
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: Jesus wall Oh, doesn't break like that's ambitious.

213
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: Giant fluted cylinder makes these things out of phoenix and

214
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: just no ATF or it's ATF exempt, so you don't need.

215
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 6: An ATF letter on a gun like this.

216
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: The host cartridges actually made from a fifty b mg

217
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: brass that's been necked out to accept that seven hundred

218
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: caliber cartridge.

219
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 3: How much is that thing weighed, Joel?

220
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 6: Too much? Now, I mean this has got to be

221
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 6: like thirty five pounds.

222
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: Joel can hold that for the whole interview, because that

223
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: that is quite the workout, and he can't even fit

224
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: the whole thing in the frame of his screen. This

225
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: is another beast of a firearm.

226
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna want to wait, frankly with a with

227
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: a round like that. I did some napkin math and

228
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: it's about twenty eight thousand foot pounds of force. Wow,

229
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: like a thirty got six is generating twenty nine hundred

230
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: foot pounds of force.

231
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: And what what was this gun used for back in

232
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: the day when when people are tilting these things around?

233
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: Nobody nobody was that's the good use, like it has

234
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: sling swivels on it, But I don't know for what

235
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: nobody's going to want to carry this. You can see

236
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: it is in this heavy bench ress stock. So it's

237
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: really just testing the boundaries of cartridge, which is what

238
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: Jad Jones is doing with the wildcatting and the and

239
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: the handgun hunting. He's testing the boundaries for things like that.

240
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: So target shooting, it's also made for watching your friends.

241
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 6: Shoot it, not you a whole bunch of times. That's

242
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 6: probably more entertaining as well.

243
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: Uh huh. The kind of guy who would haul that

244
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: around in their back, I think that's exclusive to someone

245
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: like Dug Duran. What what was the original price on

246
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: that gun?

247
00:11:59,320 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 6: That?

248
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't know the original price, but it's pretty modern.

249
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: So these the seven hundred JDJ that's just developed as

250
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: recently as nineteen ninety five. So I don't have the

251
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: original price on Our estimate for that weekend for the

252
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: February auction will.

253
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 6: Be fourteen thousand to twenty two five.

254
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: These big bords are becoming more desirable all the time,

255
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't be surprised to see it float a

256
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 1: little higher than that.

257
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: Okay, and that thing you could shoot it if you

258
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 2: bought that, right that that's one that you take out

259
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: to the range.

260
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it comes with a bunch of solids, so it

261
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: comes with copper solids and soft points as well as

262
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: the dies. And you you would laugh if you saw

263
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: the reloading dies for this. They're just they're just comically large.

264
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, and what's what's the last gun you

265
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: have to show us today?

266
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: Last gun? Kind of a classic got ourselves as sharpsck.

267
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: I'll flip it around. You can see the good side.

268
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: Oh that's beautiful Sharpeen seventy four. And if you love

269
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,520

272
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: the eighteen seventies like this one.

273
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 6: You know, you're come into those American bison hunts and

274
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 6: all the hunting that was going on there. The sharps

275
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 6: were extremely popular for that.

276
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: They come in a variety of calibers and sizes and lengths,

277
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: and they were going to configure them just about any

278
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: way you wanted it. So they're popular for that reason,

279

Speaker 1: and you can great for collectors. So if you want

280

Speaker 1: to collect a variety of them, you can sure find them.

281
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: And so when that gun was on the market in

282
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: the eighteen seventies, do you know what the selling price was.

283
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 6: A base model gun?

284
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: So again, short barrel, short octagon barrel and no kind

285
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: of extra features, right around thirty five bucks.

286
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: And what do you think it's going to sell for

287
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: next month?

288
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 6: Let me check, yesterdait on that guy. We had at

289
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 6: seventy five to ninety.

290
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 2: Five hundred, okay, thirty five dollars.

291
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 6: In the future.

292
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: Not fancy stock, but we do have a half octagon

293
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: half round barrel, not as many of those produced that

294
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: the full round barrels or the rarest the least produced

295
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: out of the model eighteen seventy four, But like I said,

296
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: great model. It's you know, kind of got its fame

297
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: with the Quickly Down Under movies. So that was in

298
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: eighteen seventy four. And in this same chambering as well.

299
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: When the forty five to one to.

300
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: Ten thirty five dollars gives me a little sticker shock

301
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: for eighteen seventy four, I'd assume that thing would be

302
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: half of that price. Yeah, Joel, if some listener is

Speaker 6: and what your plans are for it? So any number

316
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,560

Speaker 6: about We'll take bit anyway except for smoke signal.

318
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: Okay, it's it is pretty painless. Rock Island Auction is

319
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: actually where we bought our punt gun, and I've heard

320
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: rumors in the office that it may get fired next month.

321
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: Oh so if you're in the Gallatin Valley and you

322
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,600

Speaker 2: going on. Joel. I. I had saw on an email

324
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: recently that there was a gun you were supposed to

325
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: tell Phil about. That was once upon a time in

326
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 2: your auction house.

327
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: Phill we uh we set a Guinness Book World record

Speaker 3: Oh nice. Over a couple of years, you beat me

332
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: to the d L forty four.

333
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 5: I was gonna come in with that with that that

334
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 5: that name. But no, yeah, that sounds that sounds great.

335
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 5: Where where was I for this? How could I have

336
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 5: gotten a notification?

337
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 6: Question?

338
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: We told a few people about it, but it went

339
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: for just over a million dollars.

340
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 5: And you know what, I take it back, I take

341
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 5: it all back. You could have had that easy.

342
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: A million dollars.

343
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,080

Speaker 2: The Migration Report is where Matt McCormick gives it a

355
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: waterfowl hunting forecast for each flyway. Take it away, Matt.

356
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 8: Hey guys, I'm Matt McCormick was flying V and welcome

357
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 8: to the meat Eater Migration Report for January sixteenth, twenty

358
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 8: twenty five. It's been a little while since we've done

359
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 8: one of these, and for good reason. We've been hunting hard.

360
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 8: And as you can see here in the Pacific Flyway

361
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 8: of Montana, which is where I am right now, we

362
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 8: are all the way snowed in, iced up, and the

363
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 8: birds are pushing. We ended our season on January tenth,

364
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 8: and let me tell you it was a banger of

365
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 8: an ending. And those birds on the front ende of

366
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 8: this storm pushed all the way down into Utah down

367
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 8: to the Sack Valley. Everybody in the Pacific Flyway had

368
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 8: a hell of a season this year, So kudos to

369
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 8: everybody that was able to get out and do some

370
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 8: hunting in the Pacific Flyway. In the Central Flyway, some

371
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 8: seasons are starting to close, same with Mississippi. But as

372
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 8: we're pushing south, and if you've been paying attention, there

373
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,239
Speaker 8: are birds pouring out to the north down to the

374
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 8: south on the front and back end of this recent storm.

375
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 8: I see you guys got some snow down there. Talk

376
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 8: to some guys. You guys are getting massive pushes of

377
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 8: birds as we dive into these last few weeks of

378
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 8: the season. So if you're looking to get out and

379
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 8: do some hunting, find a state that's open. Hit the

380
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 8: road with your buddies. If you're in one of those

381
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 8: states that's still open, good luck, have fun with these

382
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 8: last few weeks, because in about a month or so,

383
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 8: all of you, including myself, are gonna be wishing that

384
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 8: season was still open. We're gonna hit the road tomorrow,

385
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 8: go find some birds somewhere else because we just can't

386
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 8: handle it.

387
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 3: And hey, it's hunting season.

388
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 8: Boys, it's still here, So get in the truck, go

389
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 8: find birds and keep hunting.

390
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: Good luck and be safe. Now.

391
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 2: I believe that is the last migration report we'll have

392
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: for the year. But for more waterfalling content from Matt

Speaker 3: do on the weekend.

403
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 2: What was the hunt like? You were just like waiting

404
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 2: down some stream.

405
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 3: Just local public stuff around here.

406
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, fancy, he's saving those ducks in for a special occasion.

407
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: What are you going to do with them?

408
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: We ate some of them already, Oh yeah, okay, yeah,

409
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: we usually don't let them things sit around too long.

410
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 3: My wife loves them. So if we have ducks, were eating.

411
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 4: Them pretty fatty too, I'm sure.

412
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they're delicious.

413
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a break for some listener feedback, Phil,

414
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: what's the chat?

415
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 5: I have to say, Yeah, well, I see that doctor

416
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 5: Randall and Steve and Ronella are both in the chat currently. Hey, gentlemen,

417
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 5: if you have a question for the crew, feel free

418
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 5: to drop it in right now. Mitchell has a question

419
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 5: for Spencer. I mean, you can be as specific or

420
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 5: non specific as you like. But he says, this is

421
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 5: his first year hunting in South Dakota as a resident.

422
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 5: What West River zone do you think I should try

423
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 5: putting in.

424
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 2: For Well, if this is your first year, then I

425
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 2: assume that means you have zero points and you are

426
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: going to be quite limited, Mitchell, to draw like a

427
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 2: pretty quality unit in western South Dakota as a resident,

428
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: you probably need three or four points. What I would

429
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 2: say is probably just avoid Gregory County. If this is

430
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: your first time going West River, you're probably going to

431
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: be drawn to that zone. When you look at a

432
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: public landmap and see your draw odds that unit has

433
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: an incredibly low retention rate because people get fooled by

434
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 2: the reasons I just said, and then they go there

435
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: and they're super disappointed and they never go back again.

436
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 2: And you may think at that point, oh, that it's

437
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 2: what it's like to hunt western South Dakota. It's it's

438
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 2: I would say, just plan on drawing some preference points,

439
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: make a quality trip in like twenty twenty seven, and

440
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 2: for this first year in twenty twenty five, just don't

441
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 2: do Gregory County.

442
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: Sounds good.

443
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 5: I'm actually curious about this because I don't know how.

444
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 5: I don't think any of you guys are much of

445
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 5: waterfowl people as far as I know. But Eric's asking,

446
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 5: with duck season coming to a close and after that

447
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 5: migration report, does any of the gang have a good

448
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 5: waterfowl story from this season.

449
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: I hunted zero waterfowl.

450
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: That's what I saw. Corey.

451
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 4: I'm too big of a skier to waterfowl hunt. When

452
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 4: I get old al waterfowl hunt, that's all I always say.

453
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 3: I the best. Well. I photographed a waterfowl hunt this

454
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: year with Max Barta, and it was phenomenal. That dude

455
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 3: is just a ducky dude, uh huh. And yeah, he

456
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: did a bunch of scouting and found this spot the

457
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: spring pond. The ducks were flying flying two between there

458
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 3: and like a grain elevator that had some spilt grain

459
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: laying around. And yeah, Max knocked on some doors and

460
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 3: it was just a phenomenal, Like, you know, a thousand

461
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 3: ducks over your head in the morning.

462
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 6: Wow.

463
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: And you didn't have a gun in your hand.

464
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 3: You had a Candra, I had a camera. Yeah.

465
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 4: But they're amazing shots though.

466
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 3: Oh they're great as always.

467
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's see Jova and figure Roa.

468
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 3: I don't know.

469
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 5: Thoughts about passing off venison as something else when cooking

470
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 5: people like the joke that you can't tell the difference

471
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 5: between beef and venison. He says he's against it, but

472
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 5: his wife is not. Have you ever done this before?

473
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 2: I wouldn't like openly misdirect someone and say it's beef,

474
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: But if I feel like someone would be hesitant to

475
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 2: eat it, I maybe wouldn't volunteer. Yeah, it's venison. I

476
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 2: don't know. There's plenty of good ways to make venison

477
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 2: where it doesn't matter what kind of red meat it is,

478
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: specifically with like a ground meat recipe, you can get

479
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 2: away with damn near or anything, and it doesn't matter

480
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: that it came off of a white tail rather than

481
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: a cow.

482
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 3: Yeah. I love having people over for dinner that like

483
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,239
Speaker 3: are wishy washy about eating wild game and then just

484
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 3: like not telling them what it is, yeah, and then

485
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 3: then like them eating it and being like, oh, this

486
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 3: is delicious, and then I tell them yeah. Yeah.

487
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 4: It blows my mind how folks would rather eat a

488
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 4: Walmart cow steak versus a wild deer.

489
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's a lot of them there are.

490
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: I feel like the people who are against it, or

491
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 2: more so, they had a bad experience when they were

492
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 2: a kid and like their dad cooked their venison steaks

493
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: to a well done of course, no one's gonna like that.

494
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 2: If that's all the exposure you had for a while,

495
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 2: just show them how dang good venison could be without

496
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 2: lying to them.

497
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 5: I'm not sure why this is directed at you, Seth,

498
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 5: but I'm curious, Seth. Can you eat the velvet from

499
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 5: deer antlers? Have you guys ever done that before?

500
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 3: I don't know why that stretched towards me either, never

501
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 3: even thought about.

502
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: Deer eat it. I feel like there's some photos like

503
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: when they're shedding their velvet, Dey'll eat it. There was

504
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 2: also famously Ray Lewis, the linebacker Hall of Fame or

505
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: from the Baltimore Ravens. He got busted with I think

506
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: it was a banned substance at the time. If it

507
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: wasn't a bad banned substance, they were going to make

508
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 2: it band. But it was a deer antler spray, which

509
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: I don't know how that was applied if it's oral

510
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 2: or if you'd like you have an inflame knee, so

511
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: you spray it there. But interesting deer eat their own velvet. Yeah,

512
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 2: so I think I think you could do it too.

513
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 4: Didn't your wife kill a cactus buck covered in velvet?

514
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? She did.

515
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 4: I wonder if that's what they're referring to.

516
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 3: But you did, Maybe, No, we didn't. It's it's still

517
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 3: on the antlers.

518
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 4: They always say you can't eat the antlers, but maybe.

519
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: Did you When you got that mounted? Did they strip

520
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: it off and reapply it or did they freeze drive?

521
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 2: I think they not freeze drive, but like flash freeze.

522
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I I think they stripped it and reapplied it, huh,

523
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 3: which I don't know how that works.

524
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: But I also killed a velvet book. That one they

525
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: just like did a flash freeze on it, and it's

526
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 2: held real good. It doesn't smell at all. There was

527
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 2: one there was a couple of spots where it was

528
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 2: starting to peel a little bit, and I noticed that

529
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 2: will peel like an extra eighth of an inch every

530
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 2: two years. Oh really without it ever being handled. So I imagine,

531
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 2: you know, when I'm old and gray, that thing is

532
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 2: going to be peeling a little more. But right now

533
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: it's it's holding real well.

534
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 3: I one time in Pennsylvania was shed hunting and found

535
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 3: shed antler that was still in full velvet. It was

536
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 3: peeling off in places and it was cold outside. So

537
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 3: I just like picked up was like, oh, this is cool,

538
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 3: and then I brought it in the house. Yeah, not

539
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: think like because I couldn't smell it. It was just like

540
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 3: frozen live flesh. Yeah, And it brought it in the

541
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 3: house and once it fell it out, it was just

542
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 3: the most miserable smelling thing.

543
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 9: Yeah.

544
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I imagine you handled the same way when Kelsey

545
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 2: killed her cactus buck. But when I killed my cactus buck,

546
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: through the whole head in the freezer until I could

547
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: get it to the taxi permis.

548
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we took it like right away.

549
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 10: Yeah.

550
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 5: So Steve says that question was directed at you, Seth,

551
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 5: because it looks like he needs some help. I don't

552
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 5: know what that means.

553
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 3: Uh, thanks is in the.

554
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 2: Chat today as well as Randall Williams. And I know

555
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: Randall was saying something before our show today that the

556
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: Sharp's rifle plays a heavy role in their upcoming UH

557
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: mountain Man history project. Maybe Randall can tell you more

558
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 2: in the chat about that.

559
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 5: Oh sure, yeah, I'll do one more here, Doctor Randall

560
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 5: Williams is asking about the stream athon. Great question, Randal.

561
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 5: For those of you who didn't hear Phil Trivia, I

562
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 5: proposed a twenty four hour stream of red Dead Redemption

563
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 5: too to raise money for the Meat Eater Land Access

564
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 5: an initiative. Unfortunately, the person in charge of content is

565
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 5: on paternity leave right now, and I'm very disappointed he

566
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 5: didn't drop everything he was doing, including his baby, to

567
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 5: come tell me what the best idea that that was.

568
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 5: But I'm still fighting for it. I'm gonna I'm gonna

569
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 5: pitch it officially at the next round of pitches that

570
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 5: come through.

571
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 3: So I've got faith. I have faith. Thank you for

572
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 3: that question, Randall.

573
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 9: All right.

574
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 2: Our next segment is one Minute Fishing. Do I feel lucky?

575
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 9: We'll do you bunk, go ahead.

576
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 4: Make my cast.

577
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: One minute Fishing is where we go live to someone

578
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 2: who's fishing and they have one minute to catch a fish,

579
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 2: and if they're successful, we'll make a five hundred dollars

580
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: donation to a conservation group. This week, our angler is

581
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 2: Chester Floyd, who's on a frozen lake in Wisconsin and

582
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: he's fishing for a donation to Muskie's Ink. Chester, Welcome

583
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 2: to the show.

584
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 10: Hello, it's windy as all heck out here.

585
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 2: It looks cold too, and I'm cold. Chester is the

586
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: first person in the history of one Minute Fishing to

587
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: join us on the hard wall. Tell us about what

588
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 2: you're after today, Chester.

589
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 11: Well, we're really after some bluegill, but they're not biting,

590
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 11: so we switched to baby little perch.

591
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 10: Okay, that's what I got here.

592
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: And how long have you been on the ice today?

593
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 10: About an hour?

594
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: And how many fish have you caught? Uh?

595
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 10: Thirty?

596
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so there's a chance. I thought the answer

597
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 2: was going to be three.

598
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 3: How many beers have you drank?

599
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 10: Chest, none? It's a workday.

600
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 3: Oh, you're in Wisconsin and you're fishing.

601
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 10: And Chester is a stake.

602
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: Ike famous from the eighteen inch wheel song Chester Stole

603
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 2: Your Bike and the Sturgeon Spearing episode with Giannis's right.

604
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, he's a cookie guy.

605
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, Chester has the camera very tight on

606
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: his face. You almost can't even see both of his ears.

607
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: I think he's trying to hide his location. So nobody

608
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: goes out there and catches his baby little perch that

609
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 2: he's at.

610
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 10: When do you guys want to do this?

611
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 2: Chester's getting real cold. I imagine his fingers are getting frostben.

612
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: First thing, Chester, tell us about what you're doing to

613
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: try to catch one of these perch. What tactics we

614
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 2: use in looks.

615
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 3: Like it involves a live scope. Oh no, that's a camera.

616
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's just down it two D sonar. Uh, we

617
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 11: don't really need it. Literally, we're just in weeds. And uh,

618
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 11: there's a little perch everywhere, so I hope they're there

619
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 11: right now.

620
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: And what were you dropping down there? A little waxy

621
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: worm or what waxworm?

622
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 10: And a little tongusten jig yep.

623
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: Okay, Chester, hand that phone over to Ike and your

624
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: one minute of fishing starts as soon as that waxy

625
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 2: wor hits the water. Okay, okay, he's he's picking up

626
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 2: his rod. Oh, he's showing the camera that that is

627
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: bait for a little itty bitty fish. And uh, we're

Speaker 2: We've only had a few successful anglers in the history

632
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 2: of one minute fishing. Pat Durkin, Oh seconds, and he

633
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: pulled off a perch that I would say if I

634
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: described it as four inches long, that would be generous.

635
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: Show us that fish. Chester, Yes, wow, that was thirteen seconds.

636
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: My gosh, thirteen seconds. Chester caught a little perch to

Speaker 10: See you guys.

657
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 4: Man, it looked like it could have been twenty or

658
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 4: dirty below zero with the wind chill.

659
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, Chester makes it look colder, and I trust

660
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: that it was very cold out there.

661
00:31:59,240 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 4: Sound cold.

662
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 3: Incredible stuff. Wow, there you go.

663
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: I think our third successful angler for one minute fishing.

664
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: We had Pat Dirkin, we had Yannie in Louisiana, and

665
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: now Chester Floyd joins the hall of fame.

666
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: All right.

667
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 2: Our next segment is Top threes three.

668
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 3: I'm sorry this one is so.

669
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 12: Long's the other way, Phil, you should apologize for the

670
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 12: ones that are short.

671
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, it's a real treat.

672
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: That's not the right thing. All right.

673
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 2: This week we are ranking the three coolest places we've

674
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 2: ever camped. Corey, you go first, what's the third coolest

675
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: place you've ever camped?

676
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 4: The third coolest place I've ever camped would have to

677
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 4: be in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. I used to guide

678
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 4: back in the Bob. We'd run fishing pack trips. There

679
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 4: were six day pack trips. We joked that we were

680
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 4: professional campers back there because we were helping other folks

681
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 4: get back there obviously and get out successfully without getting hurt.

682
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 4: That was our biggest goal in and out. I did

683
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 4: the math over eight years of running those trips, I

684
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 4: did three hundred and forty to three hundred and sixty

685
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 4: days back in the wilderness, camping and sleeping on the

686
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 4: ground under a tart if it was threatening rain. But yeah,

687
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 4: that's a picture of me when I was a cook

688
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 4: back there, an old chef. I would have been twenty

689
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 4: years old probably in that photo years.

690
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 3: It looked to be about thirteen in that photo.

691
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 2: Couldn't even enjoy a beer yet.

692
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 4: In that photo there's a pile of baby back ribs

693
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 4: and some looks like baked beans, beans bushes, baked beans

694
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 4: of course.

695
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 3: Nice.

696
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a photo of me with the river in

697
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 4: the background. I'm probably shmegan dishes in the river, Megan.

698
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 2: Have never heard that TERMO, Yeah, just giving it a

699
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 2: quick shmeg, okay.

700
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 3: Want just to get the food off?

701
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 2: Do you do you shmeg your dishes at home? That

702
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: exclusively when you're outside?

703
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 4: No, I shmeg before they go on the dishwasher. Helps

704
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 4: your dishwasher outgs.

705
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 2: I mean I think I do, but I don't say

706
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 2: it that I.

707
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 3: Don't have a dishwasher.

708
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: So Seth is a washer.

709
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got a shmeg. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, by

710
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 4: far top three.

711
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 2: Third coolest place was right here in Montana then, yep. Yeah.

712
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 2: And if seeing those cool guns that Joel was showing

713
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 2: us earlier wasn't enough to get you to come over

714
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: to YouTube and watch, we're going to be showing you

715
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 2: pictures of the coolest places that we've ever camped as

716
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: well and maybe in some cases video. All right, seth,

717
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: what's the third coolest place that you've ever camped?

718
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 3: So my third coolest place is along the Missouri River,

719
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 3: also in Montana. This was the view basically right outside

720
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 3: my tent, but there's you can kind of see there

721
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 3: in the background there's an old homestead. I don't know

722
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 3: the history of it, but would love to know, but

723
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 3: it this was like one of the most peaceful. It

724
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 3: was like in the spring, everything's green. It was like

725
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 3: one of the most peaceful camp spots I've ever slept.

726
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 3: That yeah, looks like it. And it wasn't like a

727
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 3: designated camp spots, just like off a two track. Turkeys

728
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 3: were gobbling, coyotes are running around just outside of camp there.

729
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 3: It was just a cool spot to be in after

730
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 3: like a long hard winter in Montana and It's cool

731
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 3: to just lay there at night just thinking about like

732
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 3: Lewis and Clark came, like saw that country, the exact

733
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 3: country that I was sleeping in.

734
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: And so much of the Missouri River today looks very

735
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 2: different how it looked one hundred years ago or two

736
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: hundred years ago. But that part of the river that

737
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 2: looks like it did when Lewis and Clark came floating.

738
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so how are the skiers at night? They were

739
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 3: not great?

740
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, really Yeah, pretty green in that photo.

741
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, lots of stage all right.

742
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 2: The third coolest place I've ever camped is Death Valley

743
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: in California. It was March of twenty twenty three. That's

744
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: the hottest place in North America. It's the biggest national

745
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 2: park in the lower forty eight. Went there on a weekday,

746
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 2: so it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves,

747
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 2: Me and my wife. That picture you're seeing there, that's

748
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 2: the sailing stones, and that's at the racetrack. Ply those

749
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 2: are rocks that move on their own. No human is

750
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 2: helping them create that giant skid mark behind it. It's

751
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 2: all about ice and water and wind that pushes these

752
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 2: things around. This dried lake bed and you can see

753
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 2: I'm in shorts and a T shirt there. It was

754
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: blazing hot at that time, but you got like the

755
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 2: full effect of being in the desert because by that

756
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,919
Speaker 2: night it was freezing cold and there were no moon.

757
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 2: There's no moon that night. The stars were super bright.

758
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 2: And a good barometer when you're camping and when you're

759
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 2: stargazing is if you can see the Seven Sisters, if

760
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 2: it's a good stargazing that night, if it's a good

761
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: stargazing night, And the Seven Sisters that night were so vivid.

762
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 2: I'd never seen anything like it. It felt like every

763
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 2: other time I'd seen the Seven Sisters in my life

764
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: that was wrong. And in Death Valley that night that

765
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 2: that was the correct way to view the Seven Sisters.

766
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 2: And there was no moon out, which which makes for

767
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 2: better stargazing. So Phil's got some more photos there. Yeah,

768
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: that was that was you know, only a few hours after,

769
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 2: I was in the shorts and a T shirt at

770
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 2: the racetrack plaia On. We were camping in the national park,

771
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 2: which you can't do a lot of in places in

772
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 2: national parks where you're dispersed camping. Dispersed camping would be

773
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: what we were just talking about where you're not in

774
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 2: a designated camping spot Death Valley, because it's so big

775
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 2: and remote, they allow you to do some some disperse camping.

776
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 2: And that's what we did do. Younique thing about that

777
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 2: trip to we were on a road trip. We were

778
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 2: on a seven day road trip, me and my wife,

779
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 2: and the next day we were going to Phoenix.

780
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 3: From there.

781
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 2: We were camping in Death Valley. The night before the

782
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 2: clocks changed for daylight Savings, but we didn't have cell

783
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 2: signal for like twenty four hours, so the clocks changed

784
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 2: that night. We come out of the park. We're heading

785
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 2: to Arizona. We're going to Phoenix, who does not recognize

786
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: daylight savings. Oh yeah. They're also crossing a time zone

787
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 2: going into Arizona. So my brain was totally in a

788
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 2: pretzel trying to figure out what time I was going

789
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 2: to get to Phoenix. I didn't know if it was

790
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 2: going to be five PM or ten pm, just because

791
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 2: again daylight savings happened, didn't have cell service, crossing a

792
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 2: time zone, going into a state that doesn't even do

793
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 2: daylight savings. It felt like a mess. Yeah, but we get.

794
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 4: There for sure, all right.

795
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 2: The second coolest place you've ever camped, Corey.

796
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 4: Second coolest place I've ever camped would have to be

797
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 4: on Cumberland Island, off the coast of Georgia. In twenty thirteen,

798
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 4: my wife and I booked a reservation. Cumberland Island is

799
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 4: part of the National Seashore National Park System, so only

800
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 4: three hundred people are allowed on the island a day

801
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 4: and x amount of people I forget how many are

802
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 4: to camp.

803
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 2: Is that a gator or a croc in your photo?

804
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 4: I think it's a gator and a wild horse wild

805
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 4: horse in the background, but as a kid from Montana

806
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 4: used to seeing the horses obviously, but seeing the gaters

807
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 4: and the teeny tiny little ticks on there. The Spanish

808
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 4: moss covering all.

809
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 3: The trees was really cool.

810
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 4: There's a lot of amazing American history on that island.

811
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 4: I don't need to bore everybody with that.

812
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 2: How'd you get to the island?

813
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 4: You have to take a ferry yep from Saint Mary's, Georgia.

814
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 2: And hauling your own camping gear there yep.

815
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 4: So we just had everything in our backpacks. Water, like

816
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,959
Speaker 4: drinking water is tricky, so you want to carry around

817
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 4: some water. There's a couple spicots of fresh water. But

818
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 4: obviously you're along the ocean, so you gotta be careful

819
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 4: what you drink. So yeah, I highly recommend it.

820
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna steal Seth's question. How are the mosquitoes.

821
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 4: Mosquitos non existent? Yeah, we were there in April, late April,

822
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 4: I think. But the ticks, I mean, I'm used to

823
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 4: the bigger ticks we have here in Montana. Teeny tiny

824
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 4: little ticks like if you left your zipper rope and

825
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 4: on your tent long enough, they just crawl right in there.

826
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 4: And otherwise it was amazing, Seth.

827
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 2: Second, coolest place you've ever camped my.

828
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 3: Number two, also in Montana. It's wasn't so much the place,

829
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 3: it was just kind of what we saw that night.

830
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 3: One of the nights while we were out there, came

831
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 3: this is a deer camp in November. Wow in Montana.

832
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 3: But actually Chester and his brother Ike were here at

833
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 3: this the moment this photo was shot. But we were

834
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 3: kind of just sitting around the campfire at night and

835
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 3: someone like, I don't know, he got up to take

836
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 3: a leak or something, and because you can't really see

837
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 3: the sky too well, like around the campfire, you know,

838
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 3: with Someone got up and was like, hey, I think

839
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 3: I can see the Northern lights, and we all like

840
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 3: jumped up and went away from the fire and you

841
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 3: could just it was just like a beautiful northern lights show.

842
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 3: That night out on the plains in eastern Montana is

843
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 3: just like one of my favorite places.

844
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: And it looks like you were successful. I see some

845
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 2: see some Ana.

846
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we we. I think almost everyone filled their

847
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 3: tag on that trip.

848
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, beautiful photo Seth is showing us you can see

849
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 2: the northern lights and every star in the sky.

850
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 4: Is that the Seven Sisters I can see above to

851
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 4: the right of the.

852
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 2: Oh, you know what I think it is. If you

853
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 2: don't know what the Seven Sisters is, go take a

854
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 2: look online about the Seven Sisters. And one you've you've

855
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 2: certainly seen it before, but maybe you didn't know what

856
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 2: you were looking at. But but again, that's a good

857
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 2: way to judge just how good the stargazing is. Is

858
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 2: how good you can see the Seven Sisters? And I

859
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 2: think Seth was just showing it off in his photo there.

860
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 3: Wow, all right.

861
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 2: The second coolest place I've ever camped was the Valley

862
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 2: of the Gods in Utah, And this was just this

863
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 2: last September. That day, I visited Monument Valley in Arizona.

864
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 2: And where I'm sitting there on this highway is where

865
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 2: Forrest Gump famously stopped running. That was where he had

866
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 2: He had his whole posse behind him, and he stood

867
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: right where I'm sitting and he said, I'm I'm pretty

868
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: tired now, And so that's where he delivered that line.

869
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 2: And that is the Monument Valley behind me, which is

870
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 2: in Arizona. But the place that I had camped was

871
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 2: in the value of the Gods, and that's part of

872
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 2: the Bears Eers National Monument that you hear a lot

873
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 2: of talk about when it goes from one presidency did

874
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 2: the next based on what they do to that bit

875
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 2: of public lands where we camped. You need four wheel

876
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 2: drive to get there and a high clearance vehicle and

877
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 2: that keeps out, you know, a whole lot of folks.

878
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: And value of the Gods was so cool. I would

879
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 2: rank it over the Grand Canyon as far as just

880
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 2: like pretty places that I've seen. So getting to camp

881
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 2: there and be among all that was real special. And

882
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 2: again that is that's more dispersed camping. You don't need

883
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 2: a reservation somewhere you just pull off on a road.

884
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 2: And opposite of when I camped in Death Valley. It

885
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: was a full moon that night and it just really

886
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 2: lit up the value of the gods, and so you

887
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 2: could see every butte in every mesa long after the

888
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 2: sun went down. I took that photo and it'll probably

889
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 2: around midnight. Wow. Yeah, you can see everything that's happening

890
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 2: miles off in the distance. Cool, all right, Corey. The

891
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 2: coolest place you've ever camped, The.

892
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 4: Coolest place I've ever camped. It had to have been

893
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 4: in Iceland underneath the auf fet Ya Yokiyo volcano.

894
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 2: Oh wow, it was erupting. Sounded like you said that correctly.

895
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 4: I hope I didn't, butcher do do it again? A

896
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 4: fet yeah Yokio.

897
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 3: Wow wow.

898
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 4: But I mean when you camp under it, you better

899
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 4: better know the damn name of it.

900
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 2: Is it erupting all the time.

901
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 4: I don't believe it's always erupting. In twenty ten, if

902
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 4: anybody remembers it, it erupted from March to June, I believe,

903
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 4: off and on, and it disrupted the entire globe, like

904
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 4: flights from Europe through Asia and I think almost all

905
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 4: the way into the US were disrupted from the ash

906
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 4: cloud that came from it.

907
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 3: Wow.

908
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 4: But I circumnavigated the island it's called the Ring Road

909
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 4: Highway one for four weeks spent on the road, hitchhiking

910
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 4: my way around Iceland. It was an amazing time. Highly

911
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 4: recommend just visiting if you can just get there for

912
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 4: a long weekend. But I spent a month there and

913
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 4: I hitchhiked for half the way and then the second

914
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 4: half hitchhiked.

915
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me about that.

916
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 3: Well.

917
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 4: I had heard that it was one of the friendliest

918
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 4: places in the world, so hitchhiking is a very easy

919
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 4: way to get around. I mean, there's the locals are amazing,

920
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 4: lots of farmers just moving from town to town. So

921
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 4: it was actually very easy to get on highway one,

922
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,919
Speaker 4: stick out your thumb and make it to the next town.

923
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 4: And then there's hostels everywhere, so it was really easy.

924
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 4: There's a photo of me with most people know Dorito's

925
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 4: or most Americans with no Dorito's as cool Ranch in

926
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 4: the blue bag. But in Europe, or at least in Iceland,

927
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 4: I'm assuming Europe, they're called cool American.

928
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 2: Cool American, just like Cory yeahs holding the bag of

929
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,240
Speaker 2: cool American doritos.

930
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 4: And then this is this is me in front of

931
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 4: the Folological Museum. To the Laymans. That's the Penis Museum

932
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 4: in Iceland. I highly recommend if you make it to

933
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 4: the island.

934
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 2: Did you wind up in any sketchy situations hitchhiking around

935
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 2: for a month?

936
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 3: No, not at all.

937
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 4: No, it was so easy. Huh, I would do it again.

938
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 2: Did it make you think about picking people up on

939
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 2: the side of the road back here in the States?

940
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 9: Oh?

941
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 4: Not in the States. No, But I rented a car

942
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 4: on the second half and then was able to camp

943
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 4: in that scene right underneath the volcano. I woke up

944
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 4: to it erupting. There was lightning, and it sounded like

945
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 4: cannons going off underneath.

946
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 9: Wha.

947
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 3: It was wild.

948
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 4: I didn't pick up any hitchhikers because I never saw any,

949
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 4: but I you were willing totally all.

950
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 2: Right, seth see if you can top that. The coolest

951
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 2: place you've ever camped.

952
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 3: My number one is in Alaska on a doll sheep

953
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 3: hunt with Steve and his brother Danny. We camped up

954
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 3: on this like finger ridge coming down from the main

955
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 3: Ridge the one night and below us that's just a

956
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 3: huge That whole valley is just a huge glacier. And

957
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 3: the the cool thing about camping by that glacier, and

958
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 3: there was there was a couple of nights where we

959
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 3: camp closer to it than this.

960
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 2: But so is that water behind you or that's the glacier, that's.

961
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 3: Just ice damn. Yeah, that glacier made the craziest noises

962
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 3: all night long. Oh really, just like big pieces sloughing off,

963
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 3: smacking the valley floor and just hit like popping and

964
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 3: just making crazy like moaning noises. Is wild.

965
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 2: Anyone who's ice fish knows what Seth is talking about,

966
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: or you know those sorts of noises that might wig

967
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 2: you out if you're new to ice fishing. I can't

968
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 2: imagine what a glacier sounds like.

969
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that it was cool. And then this photo Phil,

970
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 3: if you zoom in, there's two white dots right behind Steve. There.

971
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 3: We woke up the one morning there's some doll sheep

972
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 3: below us. Not legal, but it was cool to wake

973
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 3: up to that. And then the next photo there, Phil,

974
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 3: is just the valley. This is from from where we camped,

975
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 3: looking up valley.

976
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,439
Speaker 2: Amazing. All right, I don't think I can beat either

977
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 2: one of those. But the coolest place I've ever camped

978
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 2: was off Cape Flattery in Washington, and Cape Flattery is

979
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 2: the northwesternmost part of the Lower forty eight. If you

980
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 2: look at a map and you see that little point

981
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 2: that's way on the edge of Washington's that's Cap Flattery.

982
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 2: And from there you're standing on a cliff that's like,

983
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 2: you know, a two hundred and seventy degree view around you.

984
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 2: You were just on the edge of the United States.

985
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 2: So we visited that, and then we couldn't camp there

986
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 2: because that's a reservation. But we did camp down the road,

987
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 2: and on our way out of the reservation, stopped in

988
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 2: some small town and bought some smoked salmon from someone's

989
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 2: smoke shed. And then this is where I pulled my

990
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 2: truck right onto the beach and camped there nice and

991
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 2: just listened to the waves all night. And I wish

992
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,720
Speaker 2: I could like bring that home with me. I've since

993
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,959
Speaker 2: then like tried to listen to waves crashing on spot

994
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 2: or something just not the same yea. So that that

995
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 2: was probably the coolest spot I've ever cammed. And then

996
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 2: you could sit there and watch the ships come in

997
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 2: at night and try to figure out, Like, what does

998
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 2: that thing caring? Oh, that's a cruise ship, or like

999
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 2: that one you know is three times as long as

1000
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 2: any boat I've ever seen in my life. That that

1001
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 2: was fun to watch. All Right, That is the end

1002
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,919
Speaker 2: of the top threes and we have one interview left

1003
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,760
Speaker 2: for today. Joining us on the line next is Phil Musket,

1004
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 2: the president of the Association of Licensed Battlefield Guides. Phil

1005
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 2: is here to talk about being a guide at Gettysburg,

1006
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 2: which is one of the most competitive public lands jobs

1007
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,439
Speaker 2: in America. Phil, welcome to the show.

1008
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 9: Hey, how you doing.

1009
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 3: We're doing.

1010
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 2: First thing, Phil, explain to us why being a guide

1011
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 2: at Gettysburg is such a coveted job.

1012
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 9: Well, this is the mecca of the American Civil War.

1013
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 9: So we get thousands of visits. We get about nine

1014
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 9: hundred thousand visitors a year, which is down from the

1015
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 9: two million we used to get. But people come here

1016
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 9: to learn, and people come here and they hear the

1017
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 9: stories of the men who fought here, and it's works

1018
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 9: of fire in them. And these people continue to come

1019
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 9: back and they find out about guiding and they hey,

1020
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 9: I can do that. So they want to aspire to

1021
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 9: be a licensed battlefield guide and spend the rest of

1022
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 9: their lives on the battlefield telling the stories of those

1023
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:33,760
Speaker 9: men who fought here.

1024
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 2: And to be a guide there, you have to pass

1025
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 2: a very thorough test. I read a quote recently in

1026
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 2: a Wall Street Journal article from a lawyer saying that

1027
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 2: the Gettysburg Guide test was harder than the Bar exam.

1028
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 2: Will you walk us through what the testing process is?

1029
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, sure, will so. I've also heard it as hard

1030
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 9: as the Harvard entrance exam. But it's a four tier process,

1031
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 9: four step process. The first step is a written exam,

1032
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:10,720
Speaker 9: which is fill in the blanks, recognizing pictures and describe,

1033
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 9: you know, writing out what that is. That's the first

1034
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 9: part of the test. That's three hours. In part two

1035
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 9: is essays, and you've got five essay choices and you've

1036
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 9: got to write three. You've got three hours to get

1037
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 9: that done too. You're taking this exam this past when

1038
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 9: we just did, we had one hundred and fifty three

1039
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 9: fifty two people taking the test. As of today, which

1040
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 9: is after the exam we have, we only advanced twenty

1041
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 9: out of those one hundred and fifty yes.

1042
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 2: And how many of those twenty sorry, Phil, how many

1043
00:50:54,520 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 2: of those twenty one? Maybe five five of them.

1044
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 9: Because the second step is a panel interview, because yeah,

1045
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 9: it's great, you know all that knowledge, but you got

1046
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 9: to get it from here to here to where people

1047
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 9: can understand it, so that weeds out a lot of

1048
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 9: people as well. To Step three is what they call

1049
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 9: the field practicum. They you spend three days working with

1050
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 9: a mentor who is a guide, and you will write

1051
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 9: up your two hour tet or your two hour tour

1052
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 9: that you're going to give to people when they visit.

1053
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 9: You give that to the mentor and practice that. They

1054
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 9: also drop you on a place in the battlefield, i e.

1055
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 9: Little roundtop and tell us what happened here. You got

1056
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 9: five minutes and see how well you do. And if

1057
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 9: you pass that, then you get into the oral examination,

1058
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 9: which is you could go around with your mentor all

1059
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 9: right until they fail you you're ready, and then you

1060
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:09,919
Speaker 9: schedule with the National Park Service superintendent and you get

1061
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 9: two shots to go around the battlefield. It's twenty five

1062
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 9: square miles and you got two hours and fifteen minutes

1063
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 9: to tell the story. So all of that minutia you

1064
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 9: learned past tier one is out the window because you

1065
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 9: can't fit all that in. So you've got to tailor

1066
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:34,399
Speaker 9: it down to where it's still a story where you're

1067
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 9: telling the basics. You get two shots at that. If

1068
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 9: you pass that, you become a guide, and if you

1069
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 9: fail that, you start all over again.

1070
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 2: And another important detail from that Wall Street Journal article

1071
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 2: was it said that the test hadn't been offered in

1072
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 2: seven years. So it's not like five people per year

1073
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 2: past this thing. It's five people almost once a decade

1074
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 2: past this like the test to be a guy to Gettysburg.

1075
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 9: Now, back when I passed the exam back in twenty ten,

1076
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,879
Speaker 9: they were doing it every two years, and they were

1077
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 9: on that schedule until twenty seventeen, and then for whatever reason,

1078
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 9: the Park Service did not do the exam until we

1079
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 9: got down. We're down to one hundred and thirty guides.

1080
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 9: When I started out, we had one hundred and fifty six,

1081
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 9: so we're losing numbers and we need new blood. So

1082
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 9: we finally got this new exam, and we're hoping we

1083
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 9: get more than five. And we're hoping the Association of

1084
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 9: Bottleful Guys, we're hoping that this will start on another

1085
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 9: regular two to three year cycle like it used to

1086
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 9: be to replace the average dage of the guide force

1087
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 9: right now is seventy two. WHOA, I'm keeping it down.

1088
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 9: I'm fifty seven.

1089
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 6: I'm keeping it that.

1090
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 2: I'm doing my part with. Soh yeah, it's go ahead

1091
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 2: with the stakes being so high. Have you ever heard

1092
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 2: of somebody cheating?

1093
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 9: I have not heard of anybody physically cheating and being

1094
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 9: escorted out. I'm I'm sure it's happened, but I'm not

1095
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 9: familiar with it. What I have witnessed is, you know,

1096
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 9: sitting at the people sitting at the table and they're

1097
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 9: looking over now if they're writing the same thing down

1098
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 9: the person you know, I don't know, but that's the

1099
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 9: limit of what I've seen as cheating. Because not only

1100
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 9: are you you're trying to become a guide, but you

1101
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 9: on this exam.

1102
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 2: So what are what are some examples feel of people

1103
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,760
Speaker 2: uprooting their lives for a chance to take this test.

1104
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 9: Well, we've got people from all over the country that

1105
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 9: are currently guides, and uh one of our guides sees

1106
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 9: a lawyer out the same Forrancisco, and when he was

1107
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 9: studying to be a guide, he would fly in, he'd

1108
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 9: do his reading out there and his walking the battlefield.

1109
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 9: When he'd come here here and hanging out with friends

1110
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 9: and spending the days on the battlefield. And once he

1111
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 9: passed the test and became a guide. He now he

1112
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 9: still works in San Francisco and he'll fly out here

1113
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 9: and spend a month or two out here doing tours,

1114
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 9: then go back to San frian and work. We've got

1115
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 9: other guides. We had an Ohio state trooper for a while.

1116
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 9: Basically he'd drive in on the weekends, do some tours,

1117
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 9: go back do his job. So I you know, another

1118
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 9: example I thought of yesterday was we used to have

1119
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 9: a nurse who worked down in Tampa, Florida, and he

1120
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 9: would come up here for a month straight. And at

1121
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 9: that time, we had quotas, so we had to do

1122
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 9: so many tours a year, and he would do his

1123
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 9: ninety tours in thirty days. So he was doing cukoo

1124
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 9: tours all at once. And then he goes back to

1125
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 9: Florida and we're he used all of his vacation to

1126
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 9: come here and give a tour.

1127
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 2: Give those it must yeah, it must be a pretty

1128
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 2: rewarding gig for how bad these people want to do.

1129
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 2: But what what's your favorite part of the job.

1130
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:27,919
Speaker 9: Well, my favorite part of the job is sharing the stories. Uh,

1131
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 9: you know, taking people out on the field, spending two

1132
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 9: hours with them, that's the bare minimum tour so uh.

1133
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 9: And putting people in places where important events happened. Yeah.

1134
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 9: I enjoy that. People with ancestors coming here and being

1135
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 9: able to take those ancestry, those descendants to where their

1136
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 9: ancestor was fought, where he might have been killed, where

1137
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 9: he might have been capt sure, things like that, that

1138
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 9: is what you know, I enjoy doing. And even with

1139
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 9: our school groups, we have school groups come in. We

1140
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 9: jokingly sometimes called March California Month because we get a

1141
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 9: whole bunch of California kids coming in. We get to

1142
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 9: tell these kids the stories and maybe that'll spark some

1143
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 9: interest in their lives and that'll bring the next generation

1144
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 9: into guiding and the Civil War and history of America.

1145
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1146
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 2: And Gettysburg is like six thousand acres, all of which

1147
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 2: is managed by the Park Service. What can you tell

1148
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 2: us about the wildlife and conservation work that takes place there?

1149
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 9: Well, what we got here, We've got a big deer population,

1150
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 9: which they do every year. They'll have a big deer

1151
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 9: hunt here. Now, what they do is only federal employees

1152
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 9: are authorized to participate so they come out here and

1153
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 9: they then out the herd because it damages the vegetation

1154
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 9: around here and the local farmers' crops. But then they

1155
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 9: take all of the meat that they get and they

1156
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 9: donate it to the shelters here in the south central

1157
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 9: Pennsylvania area, so it goes to a good cause. Our

1158
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 9: current controversy on the battlefield deals with beavers. We've got

1159
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 9: some beaver dams in front of Little Round Top, which

1160
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 9: was a marshy area during the battle on July first,

1161
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 9: second third, eighteen sixty three. But now we got these

1162
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 9: little ice skating ranks now this time of year, so

1163
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 9: we're dealing with that and the park Service they can't

1164
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 9: do anything to remove the beavers until they start to

1165
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 9: damage the asset, and they've done some mitigations which have worked,

1166
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 9: so the beavers are staying, much to the chagrin of

1167
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 9: many historians. We've got a bald eagle that's seen around

1168
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 9: here periodically. We got a whole bunch of hawks, which

1169
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 9: they're fun to watch too. Watch them dive bomb onto

1170
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 9: a field mouse or something that's really amazing. Occasionally we

1171
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 9: get a black bear in here coming down off South Mountain,

1172
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 9: which y'all would call a hill, but that type of thing.

1173
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 9: The park maintains the tree lines as best they can

1174
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 9: to what it was at the time of the battle,

1175
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 9: so they're constantly working on keeping that and then the

1176
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 9: landscape correct, even down to the fence rails and fence

1177
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 9: lines that were here during the battle. So all of

1178
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 9: that stuff they do.

1179
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great. Last question, Phil, is your last name

1180
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 2: really Musket?

1181
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 9: It really is. That's what my daddy gave me all

1182
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 9: those years ago. And I have actually had a guy

1183
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 9: on a bus argue with me and I had to

1184
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 9: pull out military IV and show him. I mean, he

1185
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 9: was just adamant. I had people that have made bets

1186
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 9: and at the end of the tour they've settled their

1187
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 9: bet by asking that question. Oh yeah, I get it

1188
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 9: all the time. I get it all the time. We

1189
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 9: got a Chris Army here. We got a Steve Slaughter

1190
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 9: as well too.

1191
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 2: Whoa Okay, you used to have an Andy Custer, but

1192
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 2: she got.

1193
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 9: Married, Oh Andy donaheo, okay, but we had a Custer

1194
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 9: for a while as well too.

1195
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 2: There's some there's some desty involved, and maybe that helps

1196
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 2: you pass the test at the end when your last

1197
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 2: name is Musket or Custer or oh.

1198
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, you know, at least you got to get

1199
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 9: one question, right. Yeah.

1200
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 2: Well, Phil, thank you for guiding us through what it

1201
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 2: takes to be a guide, in joining us on media radio.

1202
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 9: Okay, and in anytime you're out, check out Gettysburg tours

1203

Speaker 2: All right, well we're gonna do that.

1205
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 9: We'll get your tour guide and get you out on

1206
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 9: the battlefields.

1207
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 2: Phil Seth, you grew up I don't know how far

1208
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 2: from Gettysburg, but in the same state you ever been.

1209
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I uh went when I started college. I started.

1210
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 3: I got my forestery degree from penn State mont Alto,

1211
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 3: which is a branch campus to Penn State, which that's

1212
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 3: it used to be the Pennsvan Pennsylvania Forest Academy, which

1213
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 3: was started by Gifford Pinchot. But anyway, that college is

1214
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 3: not far from Gettysburg. And like he mentioned South Mountain,

1215
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 3: the mayor coming off coming down from South Mountain. We

1216
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 3: used to do all sorts of like forestry classes and

1217
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 3: stuff on South Mountain. So I know the area well.

1218
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 3: And I've only actually been to Gettysburg, like a handful

1219
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 3: of times, like I think three, three or four times

1220
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 3: something like that. But when I was younger in elementary school,

1221
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 3: my grandparents took me down there and we did like

1222
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 3: a like a motor tour like we bought uh it

1223
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 3: was at the time. It was a cassette TAPA and

1224
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 3: we put that in the in the cassette player in

1225
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 3: the car and drive around the park and it kind

1226
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 3: of like told you, like all the history.

1227
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, I assumed you were there every weekend. You

1228
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:11,479
Speaker 2: took a field trip there every year.

1229
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 3: No, no, no, did not, but it's I recommend it.

1230
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:16,439
Speaker 3: It's like it's a really cool place. You can still

1231
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 3: see like bullet holes and walls and cannon ball holes

1232
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:22,919
Speaker 3: in buildings and stuff. It's really cool.

1233
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, I grew up in South Dakota.

1234
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 2: I've only been in Mount Rushmore once, so same thing.

1235
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:28,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, same thing.

1236
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 6: All right.

1237
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 2: That brings us to the end of this week's show, Phil,

1238
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 2: let's get some final feedback from the chat.

1239
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1240
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 5: I think people were just asking Steven Randall questions live

1241
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 5: in the chat, so we don't have a lot, but

1242
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 5: we've got a few. Jude says that he shot his

1243
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 5: first deer while listening to Media Radio Live. Hell yeah, thanks,

1244
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 5: we learned a lot. I don't think it was today,

1245
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 5: but I would guess recently.

1246
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 2: Okay, So congrats Jude, Jude.

1247
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 3: Let's see wapity Woods, says Spencer. Is it?

1248
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 5: Is it specifically Hams Special Light that you love so much?

1249
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 5: I had a six pack of original Hams up in Rogers, Minnesota.

1250
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 5: Curious your thoughts of Ham's Original Ham's Heavy.

1251
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 2: My origin story with Ham Special Light. It was the

1252
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 2: cheapest beer that you could buy at High V. It

1253
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 2: was eleven ninety nine for a thirty pack. So when I'm,

1254
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 2: you know, an underage high schooler and I got to send, like,

1255
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 2: you know, one of the college kids I know there

1256
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 2: to buy me. I got a Summon twelve dollars bill

1257
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 2: and that'll get me a whole thirty pack of Ham

1258
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 2: Special Light. The other thing is Hams has a reputation

1259
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 2: of just not tasting good. Ham Special Light was like

1260
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 2: a classic American light log or like a like a

1261
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 2: Bush light or a Coors Light's tasting thing. But because

1262
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 2: it said Ham's on the can, nobody would touch it.

1263
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 2: When you go to a party, like I didn't have

1264
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 2: to worry about my thirty rack of Ham Special Light

1265
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 2: walking Away Nice. So it was it was the cheapest beer.

1266
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 2: It was the beer that was least likely to be stolen.

1267
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 2: So that that was my origin story of Ham Special Light.

1268
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 2: It's not really about the taste. It's just like the

1269
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 2: nostalgia of it that it's it's just what I've always tried.

1270
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 3: And the light is discontinued now right, discontinued.

1271
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, and I'm hoarding my I'm into my third

1272
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 2: to last case.

1273
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 3: Colin asked what you're switching to when your Special Light

1274
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 3: is all gone?

1275
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 2: I don't. I'm not loyal to anybody. So I might

1276
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 2: be sitting at the bar one time and attentions light.

1277
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 2: Uh huh.

1278
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:20,919
Speaker 3: Hit him up on a slide into his DM Miller.

1279
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 3: Light does not matter.

1280
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 5: A question for Seth from Eric, what is your favorite

1281
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 5: kind of hunt to film photograph?

1282
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 3: Well, a lot of my favorite photographs come from Southeast Alaska,

1283
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 3: which oh we got when it comes out. You can

1284
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 3: go sit next to Seth and you want to.

1285
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 8: Uh.

1286
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 2: Seth was just talking about his favorite hunts to capture

1287
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 2: through a camera.

1288
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I was saying some of my favorite one

1289
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 3: of my favorite places photographs Southeast Alaska because everything about

1290
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 3: it's cool and pretty, but the big Alaska hunts like

1291
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 3: that dull sheep hunt. The photos I showed earlier and

1292
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 3: then the move stuff is always cool to photograph.

1293
