First of all, the places that 26 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: fly fishing takes you is one of the things that 27 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: I like about it. I like that the beautiful locations, 28 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: environments that you get to. One of the things that 29 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: I love about fly fishing is, especially trout fishing, is 30 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: being in cold water when it's a hundred degrees and 31 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: you're standing and forty eight degree water. It's like you're 32 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: tasting the extremes at one time. It's amazing. It's amazing. 33 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: And then watching i mean ideally a nice dry fly 34 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: cast where it lands out there so delicately, and then 35 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: seeing a monster brown trout just go up there and 36 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: slurp that thing in there, and you react and set 37 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: the hook and that fish just goes crazy. But you're 38 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: usually fishing fighting that fish on a very fine tackle, 39 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: so you know, the fights on for at least ten minutes. 40 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: Really can be with a big one.

I think, okay, I'm going to the clinic. Like, 335 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: not until after he told you. I mean it was 336 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: just like, look bad luck, which we're gonna talk about 337 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: that luck that he came into your office. Yeah, yeah, 338 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,719 Speaker 1: because I might light there day or two thinking, you know. 339 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: And twenty five years ago, people didn't pay as much 340 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: attention to tickboard illness as they do now. I think 341 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: there was a time period when doctors were just like 342 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: letting people die for having tickboarn illness. It's a specific 343 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: it's a specific test they got a test for because 344 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: my brother had it, and when he was finally diagnosed, 345 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: I came in from Missouri turkey hunting one year. So man, 346 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: I'm I feel like terrible, you know, I feel like 347 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: I've been a by coat and crept off a cliff. 348 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: Is terrible. And he says, you get summers come by, 349 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: he said, and now I wish you had. He said, 350 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: you sound like you got man, you need to go 351 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 1: and they did that specific tests or enough. That's what 352 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: I had was like what Gary had Rocky Mountain spotted 353 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: fever and it was tetracycline for breakfast for and suffer 354 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: for a week or two and then it was gone. 355 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: Clay got we got a nacurate diagnosis because someone he 356 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: was with and in in the woods, he was doing 357 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: work with and that guy got a diagnosis and that's 358 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: when we called the doctrines that is it possible that 359 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: this is what he's in with And it was like 360 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: game changer. But but for I don't know how long 361 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: he would have And I mean it was it was 362 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: really bad. You get cured with medicine or is it 363 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: just I think it just down I think, you know, 364 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: I think it's different for somebody because I hear about 365 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: people with limes disease and that seems like a little 366 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: that longer term. It was much longer term than what 367 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: you had. So I think this is a good point 368 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: to get into what I really wanted to talk about today, 369 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: which is which is a pretty serious It was a 370 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: pretty pretty unique time for the bar Grease podcast because 371 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: we're going to institute a We're gonna institute something that 372 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: has been my heart for a long time and I 373 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: believe that this will persist through time and be really important. 374 00:19:54,840 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: We're gonna institute the barg Rease Hall of Fame, usual 375 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: Bargrease Hall of Fame, and I'm gonna get a plaque 376 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: of some sort made, and like you know how you 377 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 1: can make plaques that have room for more.

I feel like Orally Province, 431 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: I mean, just the guy. He's there are in public 432 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 1: commentary in support and it would anybody like to make 433 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: a speech in support of this?

It should tell the story. What promise 498 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: was an ozark Man. They're meeting the cast iron pan 499 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: a good songs should play a little movie and you 500 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: hit when you're listening to it. That ship my favorite 501 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: versus uh. He went and got Eugene and they found 502 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: twenty eight points that would hang a wedding ring. Because 503 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: the deer actually only officially scored twenty six points score 504 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: able points, but by wedding ring on it, it'll score 505 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: it will score twenty eight. Because that's what or Province 506 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: always said. He called a twenty eight point buck. Now 507 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: the difference is Boon and Crockett recognizes anything over one 508 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: inch one inch. Well, but listen to this. This is 509 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: where it gets it gets real and gets gets there quick. 510 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: Is that I and this is getting serious quick to 511 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: the dream that I had in two thousand and seven 512 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: and the pictures right over on that wall. I'll put 513 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: the picture on Instagram. I had a dream that I 514 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: killed a twenty four point buck with a bow, and 515 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: that year I killed a buck that by Boone and 516 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: Crockett standards had twenty one points, but by hanging a 517 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: ring it has twenty four points. And that you just 518 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: have to deal with that. If you don't believe it, 519 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: do you feel like God is not um Boone and 520 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: Crockett certified? Is that what you're saying that? That's not 521 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I've just said these are the facts. 522 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: These are the facts. What did y'all think of the 523 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: Orally Province story about Well? I think that I love 524 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: this story because I remember when it happened. You took 525 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: ship with you on that on that trip, and I 526 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: think from I mean probably the reason I loved it 527 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: is a little different than the reason all the hunters are, 528 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: but it's it's like a personal connection to the story 529 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: and what that that produced. How old was Sheep when 530 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: you took him, it was he was was the only eleven. 531 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: I mean I know almost the exact day. It was, 532 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: March of nineteen. He looks so little in that picture. Yeah, 533 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: a lot happens went from eleven. Yeah, yeah, well, he um, 534 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: he's he's. I remember that year at school they were 535 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: learning about World War two and they said something about 536 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: about when it ended, and Sheep right new new immediately 537 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: he was like forty five, I think, and he and 538 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,239 Speaker 1: he was like I know it, and he argued with 539 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: someone about when it ended. But he knew the story 540 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: because of sitting in that room. He was just sitting 541 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: through And to me, I just thought, this is a 542 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: great way, like what a wonderful tradition to hear oral history, 543 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: and that it made, you know, it really demonstrated the 544 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: value of oral history and of having young people make 545 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: connections with older people and hear their stories because it 546 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: helps them piece together the world. Because, like you said 547 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: at the end, time is moves faster than you realize, 548 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: and that Sheep will have you know that history in 549 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: his life and He'll be able to tell that history 550 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: to a generation, you know, Lord will in a generation 551 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: that is a lot has the same spread in terms 552 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: of on the other end than him. And that's how 553 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: we know our people, That's how we know our stories, 554 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: that's how we know our history. I just think it's 555 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: so valuable and that was such a special experience for 556 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: our family. Yeah, right right, yea, Misty, I totally, I 557 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: totally agree with you. There's something that I've always since 558 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: I was a little I was fortunate enough to know 559 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: all my great grandparents on my mother's side, and uh, 560 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: one of my great grandfathers emigrated from Europe and he 561 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: would tell me he was seventeen and nineteen fifteen, and 562 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: he would tell me stories of when he came to 563 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: the US through Ellis Island and I remember that came 564 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: through the Lambridge, and I remember how impacting those stories were, 565 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: and listening to Mr Ory, it had that same flavor 566 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: and it's like you latch onto those things and and 567 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: you know the simplicity with which he lived his life. 568 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: And you know, I was thinking about um as he 569 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: was talking. In my mind the phrase simplicity is stability, 570 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: you know, to think about they had nothing. But they 571 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: were stable, you know, and there's there's a stability that 572 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: comes with a simple life that Mr Orry was able 573 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: to communicate and uh yeah, just a beautiful it's a 574 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: beautiful thing to listen to, that oral history. My grandfather 575 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: was born in nineteen thirty, you know, my mom's side. 576 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: He told me the difference in the depression was that 577 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: they didn't know they was in one until the everybody 578 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: she outed, hooray, we're out of it, and they're like, well, 579 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: this is like last Wednesday. So they were eating what 580 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 1: they grew, what they hunted, you know, what they raised 581 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: and everything, and it just wouldn't know the bank was, 582 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: you know, in the kitchen cabinet where they if they 583 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: got money for selling something hids or furs or or 584 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: vegetables or whatever, you know, they put it them in 585 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: a can and a coffee can and in the cabinet. 586 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: Other than that, you know, they didn't know what was 587 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: going on. And it's very similar to what I loved 588 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: when he said we had plenty of eat. Yeah everybody did. 589 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: That may have been you know in my grandfather's case, 590 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: and you know, they were catching postums and rendering them out, 591 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: I mean, feeding them out and then eating them. But 592 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: it was also whatever. But he he said, oh, we 593 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: had plenty of eat. Yeah, like that was silly. Yeah, yeah, 594 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: it was like, that's a dumb question. It was a 595 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: non event, Dad, What do you think about it? Well? 596 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 1: He reminded me of Roy. Was it Roy Clark from Tennessee? Yeah, 597 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: you know, I kept taking both of their lives and 598 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: kind of like going, they're so similar, you know, uh, 599 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: and the way they talk. I mean, I just I 600 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: just love that dialect. It's just it's just beautiful to 601 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: listen to. Of course he had a simple life, but 602 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,919 Speaker 1: to kill what he killed, you know, basically a week 603 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: or two. You know, it's just it's just pretty phenomenal. 604 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: And so it I spent my whole time thinking about luck. 605 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: What is luck? I mean, you know, so I kind 606 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: of focused on what did you think the underlying behind it? Um, 607 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 1: what do I think about? Yeah, take us into your 608 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: thoughts on that. Well, I don't think it's luck, man. 609 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I've got a friend that just 610 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: I called him before I got up here. I got 611 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: a friend. It's hit thirteen holding once on the course 612 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: thirteen Jimmy Sears. You know, Jimmy and I called Jimmy. 613 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: I said, Jimmy, it was it nine third time many? 614 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: He said thirteen? And I said did you did you 615 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: have any streaks where you did two or three in 616 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: a row. He said, no, I never did more than 617 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: one in a year. Of course, he's my age were 618 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: the same mage, so he've been playing golf a lot 619 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: of years. And so I said, well, you played two 620 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: hundred twenty times a year. There's usually in an average 621 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 1: of four part three's on an eighteen whole course. I 622 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: first said, Jimmy, you had six hundred shots a year 623 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: at a hole in one and three? Yeah? And he 624 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 1: said you're you're saying only a part three Yeah. I 625 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: mean you're not gonna get up holding one on a 626 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: part four part five. He said, no, there's like four. 627 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: He said, I had about four hundred, eight hundred shots 628 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: a year to make those. And his good buddy, who's 629 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: also a good buddy of mine, is not that good 630 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: of a golfer. And he said, he said one or 631 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: two just blind luck. You know, he's not a good golfer, 632 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: and he's still because he played a lot. But Jimmy 633 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 1: placed two hundred and twenty times a year. So I mean, 634 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: if he wasn't good, he probably would have had three 635 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: or four holding ones. But he's really really he's one 636 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: of the top senior golfers in state Arkansas in my opinion. 637 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:10,320 Speaker 1: So related to just so so oory, he's he's in 638 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: the woods a lot. He's he's good with his gun. 639 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 1: Holy cow, shooting a running buff you gotta be kidding. 640 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 1: Nine times. He must have had an a R fifteen 641 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: shooting had nine rounds. I don't know how he loaded. 642 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: That's just what he told me. You know, I would 643 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,439 Speaker 1: have never probably shot at the deer. I would have gone, Wow, 644 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: what a buck? You know what I mean? So he 645 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: had to where with alda I mean back in the day, 646 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: you had to shoot it because you couldn't take a 647 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 1: picture of it with yours. So where Jimmy is really 648 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 1: good with a club and a ball, you know, or 649 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: he's good with a gun. He knows how to hont 650 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: he's in the woods a lot. He's doing all this stuff. 651 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,720 Speaker 1: He created his own. Look now, once that that opportunity, 652 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,240 Speaker 1: that's the key thing is opportunity. He had. He saw 653 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: an opportunity, he took advantage of the opportunity, and he 654 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 1: was skilled and ready. I mean, he I would never 655 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: have hit the deer. I would have been in a panic. 656 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have even had time to I mean, you 657 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. There's an old saying in golf, 658 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: and it's I've seen it attributed to the fifteen different people. 659 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: But the more you practice, the luck you're you'll get. Yeah, yeah, 660 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 1: I know you've heard that, which means the more you 661 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: do something, I mean, it's a better chance. So you 662 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: know what, I what I came up with, and I 663 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: a lot of this. I don't know, it's not original thinking, probably, 664 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: but you know, luck is it's kind of like the 665 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: definition you I heard you say, the definition of love. 666 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: It's it's almost like a little story I read where 667 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 1: a guy said he was in New York City and 668 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: sixty years old. He had a business he wanted to 669 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:53,280 Speaker 1: sell it, and he heard a guy say, Mr Buffett. 670 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,720 Speaker 1: And this guy goes ching ching Buffett, New York City, 671 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 1: and he said, I walked over and I said, are 672 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,919 Speaker 1: you Warren Buffett? And the guy said yeah, he said, 673 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 1: I got a business I'm trying to sell. I think 674 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: I think you'd like to hear the deal. Eventually he 675 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 1: sells he sells the guy Warren Buffett this business. I mean, 676 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,840 Speaker 1: so that that was luck he heard he heard the 677 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: name just skill involved in then he had he had 678 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: the wherewithal to say, here's an opportunity, I'll never have 679 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: it again. And he took advantage of it and in 680 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:39,760 Speaker 1: the capacity to pitch something, and he had a product. 681 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 1: You know, it was really really good, you know. So, uh, 682 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: there was a little luck that that deer came by me, 683 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 1: no question. But still he was there, he was equipped, 684 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: he was ready, he took advantage of it. I'm gonna 685 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play Devil's advocate. I'm gonna completely disagree with 686 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:04,319 Speaker 1: Kerry because I think that could be said if our 687 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: province had killed those deer when he was sixty. But 688 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: according to when he said he was born, he was 689 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,319 Speaker 1: twenty eight years old, thirty eight years old. How many 690 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 1: years have you hunted? Well, you know, I mean you're 691 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: in the woods, you're in the woods a lot, right, 692 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,880 Speaker 1: deer have you killed? And I mean you're hunting the 693 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: same territory, and our deer numbers are greater than what 694 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 1: they were back then, So there had to be something 695 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:39,799 Speaker 1: because I mean, they're skilled hunters that we know who 696 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 1: hunt hard, who won't ever even see it, dear that big. 697 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: That was the only part of it that if you were, 698 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: if you were making a case to a to an 699 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,959 Speaker 1: unbiased jury not from this planet, that didn't understand luck 700 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,320 Speaker 1: or anything, as you would say, this man was very prepared, 701 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,839 Speaker 1: He was very diligent, he was very skilled. He put 702 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:07,840 Speaker 1: in his time. But the size of these deer was wild, 703 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 1: especially when you understand age structures of white tails. Because 704 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: let's just say those were six and a half year 705 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 1: old deer, five and a half year old deer, which 706 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: is an old deer. The chance of that could have 707 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: translated into just like a nice eight point I mean, 708 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 1: I think one of the oldest dear ever killed is 709 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: about a hundred and fift eight point over there, with 710 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: a big, old heavy basses, and he was just a 711 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: brute and just an old I felt like he was 712 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: an old deer, but he just had like a little 713 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 1: little scrubby seat of horns. And the fact that twice 714 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 1: he killed an older age class deer that carried that 715 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. What that's what was wild. Now if 716 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,800 Speaker 1: he had had just because I tried to make this 717 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 1: analogy inside the podcast, was that that year, he may 718 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,440 Speaker 1: killed two five and a half year old deer that 719 00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 1: were hundred and thirty five in eight points, which would 720 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 1: have been more common. Gary. I grew with what Josh 721 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: is saying, except for one thing. Or he was looking 722 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,800 Speaker 1: for a deer. You know, the guy that sold his 723 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: business to warn Buffett just heard the name Buffett. I mean, 724 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: you know, if he had just been walking around with 725 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: his gun just looking and go, oh, there's a big deer. 726 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,919 Speaker 1: You know, he was looking for deer. So I more 727 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 1: agree with you than some of the stuff I'm saying. So, 728 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: in fact, was he was looking for that name was Jimmy. 729 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 1: I think the question are you Jimmy? I think the 730 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 1: question isn't was it luck? I think the greater question 731 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: is what is luck? You know what I mean? Because 732 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: there was there was some kind of favor there the question. 733 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,919 Speaker 1: I used the term luck. Isaac and I talked about 734 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 1: this before I used it. I don't really I might 735 00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: use the term luck just so people understand what I'm 736 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 1: talking about. I really don't believe in luck. I mean 737 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,840 Speaker 1: I I use that term because we all can identify. 738 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: When I say luck, You're like, oh, I know what 739 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 1: you're talking about. But that was my The whole point 740 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: of my thing is is what is luck? And and 741 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,239 Speaker 1: is there because and I try to make it clear, 742 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 1: is that there's actually there's when you root it down 743 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,800 Speaker 1: to the very foundational position, there's two there's a split 744 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: in the road when you start to define luck and 745 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 1: its origin. And one is this naturalistic approach that it's 746 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: just chance, and then the other would be a supernatural 747 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 1: why in the road of there's something outside of this place, 748 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 1: orchestrating things to happen to people that are beyond their 749 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 1: control for a specific reason. I mean, that is my 750 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: definition providence. That's the difference between providence and luck. Really, okay, 751 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 1: do you have the definition of providence? I wouldn't even 752 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 1: really have caught that. I take Isaac so much more 753 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 1: serious with this outfit on Jim Shorts and the protective 754 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 1: care of a god or of nature as a spiritual power, 755 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: God or nature as providing protective or spiritual care, timely 756 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,840 Speaker 1: preparation for future eventualities. Okay, providence Yeah, so okay, So 757 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 1: really that's what I was. That's what we were talking about. 758 00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 1: It was luck or providence, yeah, not province. And so 759 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: that's that's why the title works Providence. Now he wishes 760 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,400 Speaker 1: he would have gone with it, and well, I didn't. 761 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 1: Text n always has like really deep, catchy titles for 762 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 1: stuff that I don't get for like a minute or two, 763 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 1: and then after the deadline, Well it's after I immediately 764 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,720 Speaker 1: respond back, I don't get it, and then I realized 765 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,320 Speaker 1: it's really good. There's there's two styles. It's either that 766 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: or just like empirically bad. And you go like, not that, 767 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 1: but that inspired the actual Yeah, I'm not I'm not 768 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 1: a median guy. I'm like one extreme or the other. 769 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,799 Speaker 1: But I think you're talking you kind of actually got 770 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,839 Speaker 1: three things. You don't just have luck and providence. You've 771 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,360 Speaker 1: also got this real strong and Gary's bringing that in, 772 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 1: and several of your the guys who talked are bringing 773 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:28,399 Speaker 1: that in. Also merit that this is just this there's 774 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,319 Speaker 1: luck totally strikes me as a false dichotomy. Yeah, there's 775 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 1: there's three different things that you're really exampling. Here was 776 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,799 Speaker 1: this Luck? Was this? I think we should go back 777 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 1: and just erase the podcast. Okay, we can make it 778 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 1: look like an accident. Where's episode sixty two? Our account 779 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 1: got hacked? Luck? Providence? Or was this is this a 780 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 1: result of hard work. Total just yeah, is this he 781 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: because of his hard work? He was there and then 782 00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 1: and so it was married. And I think that that 783 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,000 Speaker 1: is the narrative that fits best inside of the American psyche. 784 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,839 Speaker 1: That's that's kind of more how we think about the world. 785 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 1: It's because of his hard work this happened. That's that's 786 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,800 Speaker 1: our that's our you know, rugged individualistic value system is 787 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 1: that people get what they they read, what they saw, 788 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,320 Speaker 1: and he did good things and he's reaping the benefit 789 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,839 Speaker 1: of it. And so that's this like third thing over here, 790 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,320 Speaker 1: And I think what you're what you're talking about with 791 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,720 Speaker 1: like that that buck right there, the one, the biggest 792 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,800 Speaker 1: one you ever killed, you know, that was that was 793 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 1: not merit. That was there was something way more to 794 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 1: it than that. And so you're seeing it through that lens. 795 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,360 Speaker 1: And I think there's other cultures who would definitely not 796 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:47,040 Speaker 1: ever think that, They would never put merit in there 797 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,840 Speaker 1: as a piece of the this is why this happened. 798 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 1: They would always see it as providence. But I think 799 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,719 Speaker 1: the above it's fundamentally both because if you had had 800 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 1: that dream, but you had never out of bow right, 801 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 1: like that's nothing right, you have had the dream if 802 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 1: he never shot a bow. Oh no, wed come it. 803 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:20,760 Speaker 1: We got a real Schrodingers buck, put on my calvoy 804 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,760 Speaker 1: boots and all of a sudden, I've got a million 805 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,239 Speaker 1: dollar words. No, but seriously, like a great example is 806 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,120 Speaker 1: like if ore Province was born twenty years earlier, like 807 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: what stuck at? What? Like neon words? When you were interviewing, 808 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,160 Speaker 1: He's like, I walked miles a day. You guys, you 809 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:42,719 Speaker 1: ever walked twenty or regularly? Like I, I can do that, 810 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,480 Speaker 1: but it is brutal. And so it's like he fundamentally 811 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 1: put in some work, right, but if he was born 812 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,640 Speaker 1: twenty years earlier, it wouldn't have mattered if you walked 813 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,560 Speaker 1: twenty or twenty five miles a day because there were 814 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 1: no deer. Literally, it wouldn't have mattered to lick. And 815 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,880 Speaker 1: so like I, I cannot separate the two. I think 816 00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,880 Speaker 1: that there's providence. Yeah, I I don't subscribe to the 817 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 1: idea of blind luck. Um, but I wouldn't. That's not 818 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 1: a mountain I die on. I think there's providence and 819 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 1: then I think there's merit. And I think that he 820 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 1: had both of those things going. And that's kind of 821 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:15,239 Speaker 1: what I was saying when I said, sometimes people want 822 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,279 Speaker 1: to just grab hold of one thing or the other 823 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 1: just like it's all chance. Yeah, it's all chance. There's 824 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,840 Speaker 1: no there's nothing but chance in the universe. YEA or 825 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,479 Speaker 1: or someone say the other side of it, which would 826 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 1: be like every miniscule thing that the Brent's chair just 827 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:34,879 Speaker 1: squeaked because you know X, Y and C. Yeah. Yeah, 828 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,399 Speaker 1: So so it's like there's there's like have every deer 829 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,960 Speaker 1: that I've killed have I felt like it was like 830 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: life changing, monumental it was Brent's chair. No, did that, 831 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,759 Speaker 1: dear change in my life? There's no one on this 832 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,479 Speaker 1: earth that will ever convince me otherwise it really did. 833 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 1: And uh and so was that dear important? Was that 834 00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 1: dear did something from another place? Yeah? I think we 835 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 1: need to talk about that, dear a little bit more. 836 00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:05,279 Speaker 1: I think we needed and I think we need to 837 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,520 Speaker 1: talk about especially if you're gonna put the picture on Instagram. 838 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,239 Speaker 1: There's some side text on the picture there that we 839 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,840 Speaker 1: probably need to explain. And I will say, when you 840 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:18,440 Speaker 1: brought that deer back, Ava, Josh's youngest daughter was here. 841 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Josh's and would they were tiny pictures, they 842 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,759 Speaker 1: were big old fat cheek babies. And they both We've 843 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,360 Speaker 1: got pictures of both of those two, Bear and Ava 844 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 1: standing over there in their pj's and and their little 845 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,440 Speaker 1: fat cheeks are just sitting there smiling. I did not 846 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:41,799 Speaker 1: have any idea represented all give us a story. Well, 847 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,799 Speaker 1: he kind of told you. Well, I was just saying, 848 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 1: I think, I mean, I think that that you know, 849 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 1: you're you're kind of bringing that in, and I thought 850 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:51,880 Speaker 1: the way you brought that in at the end was 851 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,240 Speaker 1: sort of underwhelming. It was kind of a big, huge 852 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,680 Speaker 1: deal that I thought. I mean, maybe it's because of 853 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:00,440 Speaker 1: the impact it's had on us, but I thought it 854 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,799 Speaker 1: was a little bit like I didn't do a good job. Well, 855 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:04,840 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I just didn't want them. I didn't 856 00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,200 Speaker 1: want to I didn't want to want to make it. 857 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,839 Speaker 1: I didn't want to make but I wanted to throw 858 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 1: it out there like this, and you drew it out 859 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:18,560 Speaker 1: and July, I think it says July two thousand and seven. 860 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:22,239 Speaker 1: I'll look at it. And I saw the buck, and 861 00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,239 Speaker 1: I woke up and I drew pictures of it. In 862 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 1: the buck that I drew has really long curved brown times. 863 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,759 Speaker 1: It's got a burr point and it's got kickers. And 864 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,319 Speaker 1: if you look at that buck and look the buck 865 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 1: I killed, they look a lot alike. And I wrote, 866 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,880 Speaker 1: I wrote a note on the sketch. I said, do 867 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 1: not throw away Misty. There is no comma, so he 868 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:49,800 Speaker 1: is talking. I knew what would happen is I drew it. 869 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 1: And then I didn't really have a place to put 870 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,960 Speaker 1: the sketch, or or at the time I didn't, and 871 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:56,200 Speaker 1: so I just knew it was just gonna be like 872 00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 1: laying around, like on my bedstand, would write down incredible 873 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,879 Speaker 1: the important phone numbers are confirmation numbers and just set 874 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,480 Speaker 1: them down and then be like, why did you throw 875 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,520 Speaker 1: that away? And it's like it was literally on ash 876 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:14,840 Speaker 1: And so anyway, I framed the sketch and then there's 877 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,480 Speaker 1: a cut out. There's a picture of the deer in 878 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 1: this little frame. But and writing about that, it's one 879 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:22,880 Speaker 1: of the things that jump started your It was the 880 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 1: only thing I never even I never even thought about 881 00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,399 Speaker 1: writing an article or going into the outdoor industry at all. 882 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,239 Speaker 1: I just killed a big deer and I was like, man, 883 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 1: it would be pretty cool to write a story about it. 884 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 1: Because because there was an angle that I had on 885 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,520 Speaker 1: the story from a tactical sense, I actually really used 886 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,320 Speaker 1: a lot. I mean I hunted the deer fifteen mornings. 887 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:44,840 Speaker 1: At the time, I could only hunt in the morning, 888 00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,080 Speaker 1: and so I hunted a hunted mornings the only time, 889 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 1: the only days I didn't hunt was I went down 890 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 1: to your deer camp, Dad, So I killed the deer 891 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:57,040 Speaker 1: on October. I spent three mornings at your deer camp, 892 00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,759 Speaker 1: so fifth basically fifteen straight more and I hunted for 893 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,040 Speaker 1: that deer and uh and killed him on the eighteenth. 894 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 1: This was before we had trail cameras and stuff, so 895 00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 1: I had I had seen the deer with my own 896 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,680 Speaker 1: eyes one time in the spot and ended up hunting there. 897 00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 1: And I rattled him in on on a ball me 898 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 1: windy like seventy two degree morning on October eighteen. But 899 00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,279 Speaker 1: you had the dream win July two thousand seven, killed 900 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,160 Speaker 1: in October two thousand seven. And the and the thing is, 901 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,200 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, like you can you can say, 902 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:32,719 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to make the dichotomy here, but like 903 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,040 Speaker 1: to illustrate the point that it's both is like a 904 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,120 Speaker 1: few hundred fifteen straight mornings, you know what I mean, 905 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,360 Speaker 1: Like you didn't go out October one and like plug 906 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 1: it and go. There was some work involved, dad, did 907 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,960 Speaker 1: you uh, I know, I think I know the answer 908 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,320 Speaker 1: to this. But did you ever see that deer or 909 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,759 Speaker 1: you know? Yeah, I at the time my dad had 910 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,000 Speaker 1: related to your dream. But all, oh, well, I videoed 911 00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:03,959 Speaker 1: the deer in late August, but you didn't see the dream. 912 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,640 Speaker 1: I never knew the deer was alive until well months 913 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 1: handlers wouldn't have looked like that in July of two 914 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,960 Speaker 1: thousand seven. Well, that you're right. And the next thing 915 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,800 Speaker 1: is the first time I saw the deer was actually 916 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:17,920 Speaker 1: the first time I saw that dere was like September 917 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,520 Speaker 1: the eighth or nine of two thousand seven. So let's 918 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,720 Speaker 1: get the timeline you have. I think it's helpful for listeners. July, 919 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 1: you have the you have the dream. August. I remember 920 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:30,400 Speaker 1: waking up and it was a big rot morning and 921 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,280 Speaker 1: I was going out to get hot. That's all I remember. 922 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:36,320 Speaker 1: I was going to work, yeah, August. So that's not 923 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 1: helpful for the timeline. Just just what I see I 924 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,960 Speaker 1: remember waking up. Just a little color commentary, and we 925 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,440 Speaker 1: just need yes or no, sir, just fair details, just 926 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:53,399 Speaker 1: for the listeners to have alright, so yeah, alright, so July, 927 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,920 Speaker 1: I used to work with these two hands dream alright, 928 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:06,359 Speaker 1: songs aug August. You see the deer. Does the deer 929 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,319 Speaker 1: look like the deer you saw in the dream in August? Oh? 930 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:13,000 Speaker 1: I never made the connection. Okay, you you kill the deer. 931 00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:16,080 Speaker 1: I never made the connection until like long after I 932 00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,960 Speaker 1: even killed the deer. Like it wasn't like I was 933 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:23,719 Speaker 1: impressive in other ways. It wasn't. I don't think that's 934 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:28,960 Speaker 1: a compliment. I mean I don't remember how long, but 935 00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,520 Speaker 1: but I mean it wasn't like I shot the deer 936 00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,040 Speaker 1: and I was like, who's the deer in the dream? 937 00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,560 Speaker 1: Like it was some time after I was like, man, 938 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:40,640 Speaker 1: I drew a picture. I mean it was that, you know, 939 00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 1: like I almost didn't draw the picture. It wasn't like 940 00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm gonna kill a deer this year. 941 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,800 Speaker 1: It was just like I had a dream, was really clear, 942 00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:52,399 Speaker 1: vivid impact, like it was significant when you woke up. Yeah, yeah, 943 00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:56,239 Speaker 1: I remember more about I remember more about the dream, dude, 944 00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,720 Speaker 1: because I remember you talking to me about it because 945 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:03,160 Speaker 1: I was like what this and but don't throw away missy. 946 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 1: So it was sometime after that I realized that. But 947 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:07,959 Speaker 1: I think that's your next song title, Don't throw away 948 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:14,160 Speaker 1: Misty a good valid right there, ballad of the I 949 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,319 Speaker 1: call that buck Dagger.

Like I'm 952 00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 1: not here to say like technology is the downfall of 953 00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,920 Speaker 1: human civilization or whatever, but like it made me like 954 00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:32,920 Speaker 1: it immediately took me to the floating tote in Elderado Springs, Missouri, 955 00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,920 Speaker 1: where we'd go check in our dear and everybody go 956 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,440 Speaker 1: post up there the floating tote. You pull in in 957 00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,160 Speaker 1: your truck and all of a sudden everybody would come 958 00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,080 Speaker 1: over start looking over the bed. You just couldn't if 959 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,560 Speaker 1: you got anything halfway decent, you couldn't wait to get 960 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:51,960 Speaker 1: down there and just just talk about it and see 961 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,000 Speaker 1: what everybody had saying. Moe's dad would have just looked 962 00:56:55,080 --> 00:57:00,440 Speaker 1: on Facebook, yeah, hey, or's house yeah, or or or 963 00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,360 Speaker 1: would have texted them and say I killed a big deer, congrats. 964 00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,440 Speaker 1: There's just something magical about like being there in person, 965 00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 1: like that community connection of like going over and seeing 966 00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:14,120 Speaker 1: it and feeling feeling proud about it. It's describing social 967 00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 1: capital social capital, it's I mean, he's what he's talking 968 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,200 Speaker 1: about is the networks that people form and how those 969 00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:26,080 Speaker 1: those create identity, they create resources. When you when economists 970 00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,080 Speaker 1: look at the world and they look at human capital, 971 00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:32,920 Speaker 1: they look at economic resources to evaluate nations, to evaluate communities. 972 00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 1: But these other the social scientists came up with this 973 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 1: other term in the mid late nineties called social capital, 974 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,760 Speaker 1: and it's how people are connected to each other. And 975 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,280 Speaker 1: they I mean, it actually came up earlier than that, 976 00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,960 Speaker 1: but it got popularized in the mid nineties. But that 977 00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:52,720 Speaker 1: that those connections actually provide a resource to that community 978 00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:56,520 Speaker 1: that is as valuable as the economic connections. And you 979 00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 1: they look at this in terms of marriage, they look 980 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 1: at this in terms of voting patterns, the way they 981 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 1: evaluate whether there's social capital in the community, and it's 982 00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,520 Speaker 1: it's been in pretty much steady decline since the Middle Park. 983 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's fascinating that that nails it with what 984 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:15,480 Speaker 1: Isaac sam Social capital is like having gold coins. Social 985 00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 1: media is like he's a credit card. Social media is 986 00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:23,680 Speaker 1: like those chocolate gold coins. Okay, there's something they're a 987 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,080 Speaker 1: little hit. I never saw ore province without a pair 988 00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,680 Speaker 1: of overalls on that didn't make it in the song. 989 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,440 Speaker 1: I tried to find overalls that didn't happen. I felt it, 990 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,480 Speaker 1: you felt his overall? Yeah, I felt like this man 991 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,880 Speaker 1: was yeah for real, Like I don't know that he 992 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:44,720 Speaker 1: was like brand, what kind of footwear did he wear? Tevas? 993 00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,680 Speaker 1: He was a Tiva man. He's more of a chacos. 994 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:51,120 Speaker 1: I saw him just wear kind of like, uh, just 995 00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:55,640 Speaker 1: brown leather lace up boots. I couldn't tell you that. Yeah, 996 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you the brand. Here's here's another question 997 00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,280 Speaker 1: on that. On the front of social media, I feel like, 998 00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 1: because today it's so prevalent, I had this like in 999 00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:10,400 Speaker 1: congruence in my mind of like only wanting to shoot 1000 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 1: big deer because I want to post them on social 1001 00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:15,440 Speaker 1: media so I can get validation in that way, right, 1002 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,400 Speaker 1: And so like shooting big deer is tied to my 1003 00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:22,800 Speaker 1: self worth, and so like feeling weird and decided to 1004 00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:27,000 Speaker 1: grow your hair out, I'm looking for social validation or 1005 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,560 Speaker 1: external validation in any way. But like this idea, Like 1006 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,160 Speaker 1: when I listened to it, it didn't sound like there 1007 00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,840 Speaker 1: was some disappointment that he peaked early as a hunter 1008 00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:38,480 Speaker 1: or something like that. It's like the end goal was 1009 00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:40,640 Speaker 1: not like killing the biggest deer, but it was just 1010 00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 1: going and killing dear and enjoying being in the woods 1011 00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:47,040 Speaker 1: and enjoying hunting. And like when I listened to that, 1012 00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,560 Speaker 1: I go, like, man, that's really cool to have like 1013 00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,560 Speaker 1: killed two arguably world class dear in the span of 1014 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:58,520 Speaker 1: two weeks early on in your hunting career. Yeah, and 1015 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:02,760 Speaker 1: and not to like care resentment or a grudge about Like, yeah, 1016 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:06,040 Speaker 1: they didn't then they were they were meat hunting. They 1017 01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:10,240 Speaker 1: they wanted they liked killing big deer. But like he 1018 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:13,200 Speaker 1: would have killed a basket irak eight point just as 1019 01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,440 Speaker 1: fast as he would have killed one of those other deer. 1020 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:17,840 Speaker 1: And I think that would have been really common back 1021 01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:22,400 Speaker 1: in those that period of time. James Lawrence killed his 1022 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,960 Speaker 1: biggest deer in the sixties, wasn't it. Yeah, the first 1023 01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,640 Speaker 1: deer every kid. So you know, you look at that 1024 01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:36,040 Speaker 1: um and there weren't as many hunters. Those big deer 1025 01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,959 Speaker 1: were out there because they weren't getting hunted as much. 1026 01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:45,360 Speaker 1: And you know Lawrence's family, they were hunting over here 1027 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:50,040 Speaker 1: where the deer sign was, and and James was going 1028 01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:54,880 Speaker 1: where where the uneducated guy would go. He was doing 1029 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,080 Speaker 1: stupid stuff. It kills this huge buck. And a lot 1030 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,600 Speaker 1: of times you'll see stories where a little ind just 1031 01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:03,400 Speaker 1: to have your old kids killed a hundred nine point buck, 1032 01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 1: you know whatever. Buck. Well, the reason that happened is 1033 01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,760 Speaker 1: because his uncle's said, hey, look, kid, don't know what 1034 01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,880 Speaker 1: he's doing. Put him down there where old used for 1035 01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:16,640 Speaker 1: years and never saw a deer. Let's get the goods 1036 01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,200 Speaker 1: stands for us guys that know how to kill him. Well, 1037 01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:23,120 Speaker 1: they send him down there. Guess what, he kills the 1038 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,040 Speaker 1: big buck because the big bucks don't run where I hunt. 1039 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,080 Speaker 1: I guarantee you I know they don't. I don't want to. 1040 01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to kill a big buck. You gotta sit. 1041 01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:34,080 Speaker 1: It's too hard. I mean, I want to sit where 1042 01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:37,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of activities going on, well, like tying right 1043 01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 1: into that, like they just and tying into luck. They 1044 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:45,120 Speaker 1: just had what was the guy's name, Dustin Huff Mediator podcast, 1045 01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,880 Speaker 1: and they got down a rabbit hole of talking about 1046 01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,200 Speaker 1: how many people kill big deer the first time they 1047 01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:54,440 Speaker 1: sit somewhere. He killed the record for is it American 1048 01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:57,760 Speaker 1: United States? It's the United States biggest typical And it 1049 01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,360 Speaker 1: was the first time he sat in that stand, and 1050 01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,000 Speaker 1: it was just like, oh, that, I guess that makes sense. 1051 01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,920 Speaker 1: That educated buck is gonna get white. There's the second 1052 01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:09,040 Speaker 1: step to that that you never hear is that no 1053 01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:12,240 Speaker 1: one else is sitting that stand either in a long time, 1054 01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:17,040 Speaker 1: so that buck is there because if you don't hunt there, 1055 01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:20,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna hunt a scraper rub over here. And that 1056 01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,280 Speaker 1: buck is smart and says, you know where the people go, 1057 01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:27,400 Speaker 1: I'm over here. Welly. I talked with the the the 1058 01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,560 Speaker 1: white tailed deer biologists for the State of Arkansas to 1059 01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:36,320 Speaker 1: get some of the data on that reintroduction of deer um, 1060 01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:41,480 Speaker 1: and I spoke with him and he he he said 1061 01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:44,320 Speaker 1: the same thing he said in the nineteen sixties, they 1062 01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:48,160 Speaker 1: were they were actually more dear in the nineteen sixties 1063 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:52,560 Speaker 1: then probably I thought there would have been thirty deer 1064 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,080 Speaker 1: per square miles. Actually a decent amount of deer, and 1065 01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,640 Speaker 1: in some places there were thirty deer per square mile, 1066 01:02:57,920 --> 01:02:59,840 Speaker 1: maybe not that deep in the mountains where or he 1067 01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:04,560 Speaker 1: was out because it's just rough, full canopy stuff. But 1068 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,320 Speaker 1: he said the same thing, he said, they're just weren't 1069 01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people out there hunting, And so there 1070 01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 1: were there were bucks that were getting old, and so yeah, 1071 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,160 Speaker 1: there's there's something to be said there. And I guarantee 1072 01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:21,000 Speaker 1: you and I haven't looked at the weather and patterns 1073 01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:25,120 Speaker 1: during that time, but I have followed the mountain Man 1074 01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,960 Speaker 1: big buck contests for about twenty plus years, and on 1075 01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:35,080 Speaker 1: years like this year, I guarantee you probably guarantee you, 1076 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:45,560 Speaker 1: probably guarantee you that the deer are gonna be of 1077 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:49,120 Speaker 1: less quality on a really dry, droughty year because the 1078 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,200 Speaker 1: nutrition of these animals coming into the to the to 1079 01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:56,160 Speaker 1: the to the summer nutrition they have, but new antler 1080 01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,959 Speaker 1: growth is also connected to how they did last fall. 1081 01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:01,920 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things connect to antler growth, but 1082 01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,840 Speaker 1: connecting problems nutrition when the deer was in the womb. Yeah, 1083 01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 1: it's connected to a lot of stuff, but it is seasonal. 1084 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:12,080 Speaker 1: Like on a dry year, like there's usually a mountain Man, 1085 01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,880 Speaker 1: usually there's like one deer that might net Boone and Crockett. 1086 01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,120 Speaker 1: And that's a four county area northwest Arkansas. Maybe one 1087 01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:23,520 Speaker 1: two deer net boone and Crockett. Uh. The year that 1088 01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,520 Speaker 1: I killed my big buck in two thousand seven, proud 1089 01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:32,360 Speaker 1: of you, there were thank you, there were two deer 1090 01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,760 Speaker 1: that netted boone and Crockett that hung on the wall 1091 01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:37,840 Speaker 1: because I took my buck to the Mountain Man Big 1092 01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:43,160 Speaker 1: Buck contest. Absolutely. Yeah, in nineteen sixty those deer weren't 1093 01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:46,880 Speaker 1: near as smart as they are now right now. You know, 1094 01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:50,000 Speaker 1: these deer just said, Okay, I'm gonna walk below this 1095 01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,919 Speaker 1: buff bluff. You know this is a cool way to walk. Well, 1096 01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:56,040 Speaker 1: they're not gonna do that today. And if you go 1097 01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:59,560 Speaker 1: to the same mountains, you know, if you go the 1098 01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:03,520 Speaker 1: same area, you're probably not gonna find that bigger buck 1099 01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:07,120 Speaker 1: in there that deer would have gotten if he were 1100 01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:09,560 Speaker 1: living in the last teen years. He got killed when 1101 01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,640 Speaker 1: he was too Yeah, you know, he got killed. He 1102 01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:15,120 Speaker 1: about three or four years old. You know, there's a 1103 01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:16,680 Speaker 1: lot of people that hunt in that part of the 1104 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:20,400 Speaker 1: world now for sure. Yeah, so luck you know, I 1105 01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:22,800 Speaker 1: still don't really understand the look part. But he was 1106 01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 1: a little lucky. But well, and you know Most Shepherd 1107 01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:30,720 Speaker 1: who is today one of the best deer hunters I 1108 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,400 Speaker 1: know for that part of the world, just big woods, 1109 01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:37,480 Speaker 1: deep public land hunting, and Most never killed a hundred 1110 01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,600 Speaker 1: and seventy deer. And he's killed a lot of deer 1111 01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:43,640 Speaker 1: and a lot of old deer and that is just 1112 01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:49,560 Speaker 1: luck of the draw on like mo is hunting as 1113 01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,160 Speaker 1: big and old a deer as there are out there 1114 01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,600 Speaker 1: and killing them and they usually have about hundred thirty 1115 01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,080 Speaker 1: you know, the odd one is going to be up 1116 01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:03,520 Speaker 1: in the one fifties. And that's just pretty standard. Um, 1117 01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:09,040 Speaker 1: and there are these outliers that do happen, and um yeah, 1118 01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:12,040 Speaker 1: that's pretty unique, pretty unique. But I think I think 1119 01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 1: what I was getting at is that our understanding of 1120 01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 1: how the world works influences our decisions, you know. But 1121 01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:25,000 Speaker 1: I I do believe that we bank on street whatever 1122 01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:26,720 Speaker 1: you want to call it. I'm gonna call it luck, 1123 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:32,440 Speaker 1: just because just we bank on unmerited favor coming to us. 1124 01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,480 Speaker 1: I mean. And actually, the human I thought about this 1125 01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:40,440 Speaker 1: since the podcast. Let's erase this podcast and do it again, Isaac. 1126 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:51,680 Speaker 1: The human human metabolism is built up on the potential 1127 01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:58,000 Speaker 1: for fortuitous streaks of luck. We literally, like are designed 1128 01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:02,320 Speaker 1: to gorge ourselves at times, and our bodies store fat 1129 01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,720 Speaker 1: for when the next day and the day after that 1130 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,760 Speaker 1: and the day after that we can't find a fruit 1131 01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,160 Speaker 1: tree full of fruit, or we don't make a kill. 1132 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:14,120 Speaker 1: And that's the reason that the majority of Americans are 1133 01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:18,120 Speaker 1: obese is because we get lucky every day when it 1134 01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:21,600 Speaker 1: comes to food. Luck. Do you see what I'm saying, 1135 01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:26,000 Speaker 1: Because sometimes it's like how do we how do we? Uh? 1136 01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:31,320 Speaker 1: We're just not designed to have a gourmet mill every 1137 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,600 Speaker 1: single meal of every single day of our life. We're 1138 01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:37,560 Speaker 1: built to have some good fortune at times and some 1139 01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:40,120 Speaker 1: lean times at times, and it all kind of evens 1140 01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,800 Speaker 1: out in the end. Here's another interesting thing that I 1141 01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 1: thought of while Tony Peterson was talking about is this 1142 01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:49,080 Speaker 1: idea of placebos, because he was talking about psyching yourself 1143 01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:54,600 Speaker 1: up doing some good point. A placebo has a measurable effect, 1144 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,880 Speaker 1: which is crazy for everybody who doesn't know. A placebo 1145 01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:03,960 Speaker 1: is like a man, those cowboy's just changed. It's no, no, no, no, 1146 01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,560 Speaker 1: no no no, they changed your life. I've been the 1147 01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:09,720 Speaker 1: same guy the whole time, like tattoo guy knew before 1148 01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,600 Speaker 1: by the whole time, you just were casting aspersions on 1149 01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:21,200 Speaker 1: me because of my parents. A placebo is like a 1150 01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,719 Speaker 1: I don't know how to define it. It's a control 1151 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:27,920 Speaker 1: and so like it has a measurable effect. So you 1152 01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,680 Speaker 1: can be given a non medication and it makes you better, 1153 01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:35,679 Speaker 1: even a sugar instead and get better still and what's 1154 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:38,679 Speaker 1: crazier than that is it is also a measurable effect 1155 01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:42,719 Speaker 1: if you know, it's a placebo, which is like mind boggling. 1156 01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,320 Speaker 1: I don't know what the to what degree it is, 1157 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,479 Speaker 1: but it's just like the human brain has, or the 1158 01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 1: human body or the human spirit or whatever it is, 1159 01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:57,320 Speaker 1: has an amazing ability to impact real outcomes. That's good. 1160 01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:04,200 Speaker 1: That's good is one day didst this year? I did 1161 01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:07,200 Speaker 1: it this year. I posted on social media, felt cute, 1162 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:09,400 Speaker 1: might kill a big deer? Later what did I do? 1163 01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:12,200 Speaker 1: Killed a big one? Thirty minutes later, I killed a 1164 01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:18,720 Speaker 1: gross one sixty one point. Do a story about yours 1165 01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:25,040 Speaker 1: one day they may induct me. Yeah, he's got a 1166 01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,439 Speaker 1: lot of years of proven character to I thought it 1167 01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:33,160 Speaker 1: was interesting, Like when I go like hunting, or if 1168 01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:35,600 Speaker 1: I go fishing, and I'd like, there's this sense of 1169 01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:40,120 Speaker 1: catching a big fish. I always try to think, well, 1170 01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:43,360 Speaker 1: I'm not going to catch a big fish, yes, or 1171 01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,639 Speaker 1: I'm not going to kill a deer today, and there's 1172 01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:47,920 Speaker 1: almost yeah, there's almost the sense of if I do, 1173 01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:50,639 Speaker 1: it's this bonus. Yeah, I'm gonna have a good time. 1174 01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,719 Speaker 1: I won't be disappointed. Yeah. Yeah, man, I never stepped 1175 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:55,400 Speaker 1: to the plate. I don't think I ain't just needed 1176 01:09:55,479 --> 01:10:01,080 Speaker 1: out of the part. Really really every time, I'm very 1177 01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:08,920 Speaker 1: much more just one crash of expectation. I'm always high 1178 01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,200 Speaker 1: expectations and high results. Yeah, I'm definitely in the Josh 1179 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:16,799 Speaker 1: Spielmaker camp of mitigating expectations. You've heard of the Casey 1180 01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:20,160 Speaker 1: treeve says that my what is it call on your 1181 01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:33,400 Speaker 1: gravestone will be managed expectations. Excellent. Well, I really enjoyed 1182 01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:35,599 Speaker 1: this podcast, and for for people that would have been 1183 01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,240 Speaker 1: fallowing along on the Bear Hunting Magazine podcast, they would 1184 01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:41,240 Speaker 1: have heard the full interview. So actually it would be 1185 01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:43,360 Speaker 1: like a bonus episode if you wanted to hear it 1186 01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:47,040 Speaker 1: unedited full version. I talked to Mr Roy for an 1187 01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:50,120 Speaker 1: hour and a half, so on this podcast there's twenty 1188 01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:53,920 Speaker 1: one minutes, so there's actually a lot more, and it's, uh, 1189 01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:57,800 Speaker 1: it's just it's it's totally unedited, so it's us like 1190 01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:01,040 Speaker 1: talking about the weather, us, you know, kind of doing stuff. 1191 01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,080 Speaker 1: But it was it was good. There was a lot 1192 01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:05,439 Speaker 1: on it. His wife came on and talked and told 1193 01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:08,040 Speaker 1: how she puts up corn and how she cooks deer meat, 1194 01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:13,080 Speaker 1: and she told about her grandchildren. You know, my favorite 1195 01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:16,760 Speaker 1: parts of these podcasts. My favorite part of that whole 1196 01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:21,479 Speaker 1: episode was the very begins, well close to the beginning, 1197 01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:28,280 Speaker 1: when you hear the screen door open and Mr Roy goes, Hi, Clara, 1198 01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:30,680 Speaker 1: how are you doing? And I talked to him, and 1199 01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:33,120 Speaker 1: then his wife comes in and she says, oh, excuse 1200 01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,360 Speaker 1: the house. I just was good to vacuum. Yeah, I 1201 01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,120 Speaker 1: didn't want to do it. And then you a sandwich 1202 01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:42,400 Speaker 1: of floor. Yeah, well it just it just it just 1203 01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:44,840 Speaker 1: kind of I don't know, if you've been there, you 1204 01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:48,080 Speaker 1: just know those people and it, uh, it kind of 1205 01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:52,960 Speaker 1: tells the story. And uh yeah, they they he was 1206 01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:56,759 Speaker 1: a relic of a man, and I continue to be amazing. 1207 01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,519 Speaker 1: Tried to make the point on the podcast that every 1208 01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:03,360 Speaker 1: general ation has a touch point with a much older 1209 01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:07,639 Speaker 1: generation that they think are like the real deal. Yeah, 1210 01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:10,519 Speaker 1: And when I look at our province and Lew and Nuka, 1211 01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:15,960 Speaker 1: my grandfather and uh and guys that aren't here anymore, 1212 01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:18,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, they were the real old timers. Like 1213 01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:20,639 Speaker 1: when I look at Dad, like, Dad's not an old timer. 1214 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,479 Speaker 1: I mean, like, you know, to me, you're seventy five, 1215 01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:27,920 Speaker 1: and it's but it's because we're seventy four. Because we're 1216 01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:31,680 Speaker 1: pretty close in age, give them the year. But to 1217 01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:35,560 Speaker 1: my to my kids, they'll talk about their granddad and 1218 01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:39,439 Speaker 1: be like, godly, he was born in like seventeen seventy three, 1219 01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:45,600 Speaker 1: you know. But the my point is is that everybody. 1220 01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:50,000 Speaker 1: I actually talked to Brooks Blevins about this one time, 1221 01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:54,519 Speaker 1: the Ozark historian, academic guy, Dr. Brooks Blevins, and he said, 1222 01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:59,360 Speaker 1: every single generation has, for a period of time the 1223 01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,880 Speaker 1: oldest possible people that they could interact with. And those 1224 01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:06,759 Speaker 1: guys always have something very different in a very different 1225 01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:10,640 Speaker 1: life experience than you, and so they're really intriguing. But 1226 01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:12,880 Speaker 1: there was a time when Oriy Province was like on 1227 01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,080 Speaker 1: the pop culture cutting edge of time when he was 1228 01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:21,320 Speaker 1: eighteen years old and and the old timers to him, 1229 01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:25,000 Speaker 1: we're born in the eighteen thirties. That was my point. 1230 01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:28,519 Speaker 1: Inside of that, it's kind of mind boggling. And Daniel Boone, 1231 01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:31,320 Speaker 1: Daniel Boone would have one time just been like the 1232 01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:34,759 Speaker 1: dude driving down the road driving a you know, twenty 1233 01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:38,160 Speaker 1: nineteen Chevy Silverado four world drive with a couple of 1234 01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:41,040 Speaker 1: mules in the back. You know, he would just would 1235 01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:43,280 Speaker 1: have been like a normal guy, and he would have 1236 01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:48,360 Speaker 1: interacted with people. People was a stock trail with a 1237 01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:50,880 Speaker 1: stock trailer in the back, No trailer. That's where I'm headed. 1238 01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:57,519 Speaker 1: Um point being, you can't imagine Daniel Boone looking back 1239 01:13:57,600 --> 01:13:59,560 Speaker 1: in the history of going man, the old timers. But 1240 01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:04,400 Speaker 1: he is just like us, Just like us. Daniel Boone 1241 01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:07,800 Speaker 1: was like two people back, three people back. I mean, 1242 01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,960 Speaker 1: he's not that far. Lincoln is not that far back 1243 01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,840 Speaker 1: from us. Really, you know, you go back to Jesus 1244 01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:16,920 Speaker 1: Christ twenty people. I mean I figured it before. When 1245 01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,400 Speaker 1: you're a kid, we probably talked about it. You know, 1246 01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:21,200 Speaker 1: you just go back. I had an old buddy that 1247 01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:23,880 Speaker 1: was in his nineties and I'm thinking, okay, he's born here, 1248 01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:27,880 Speaker 1: you know, if he knew somebody back, you know, and 1249 01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:30,680 Speaker 1: you just she start tumbling that back and I mean 1250 01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:34,560 Speaker 1: it's really Lincoln. They are about the same age. You know, 1251 01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:39,640 Speaker 1: you get a picture. Yeah, for real. The last the 1252 01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:44,320 Speaker 1: last widow of a Civil War veteran died in what 1253 01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:50,160 Speaker 1: what Yeah, she got married when she was young and 1254 01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:52,320 Speaker 1: he was older, and then she lived to a hundred 1255 01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:56,200 Speaker 1: and one.
