I don't know if I want to 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:59.720 talk about it about so Ricky and I know, Uh, 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.440 they asked me to sit Indian style, and I just 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.480 didn't know what that was, and so everybody immediately sat down. 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.440 Socially awkward situation. You're standing there. I'm an idiot, I 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.840 don't know, and the teachers like you sit in in style, 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:17.560 and I just couldn't go to the office. And then 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.600 it was swats and I never looked. Really that was 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.880 the first day, first day, first day of preschool. I 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.919 got a wepened the first day of seventh grade. I mean, 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.480 which what happened in seventh grade? I got blasted on 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.280 the first day of school, first first day school. It's 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.200 set the president for not only that year, rest of 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:41.959 your life. Pretty well. And why did you get well, man, 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.600 we went from desk. You know, you always had a 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.680 desk to sit in, but in the size class they 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.400 had a table there, so it was two folks to 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.120 the table, and my buddy Greg Hayes was sitting with you. 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:58.000 That was a mistake. You were not lying because he 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:02.760 whispered I've ever tried in my life. I trust him 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.480 with my life. But what happened was what it was 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:10.000 was we were talking and the teacher, well, the teacher 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.280 asked me, I can't remember now which one of us 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:16.000 was talking that you can't quite recall. I assume it 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:20.239 was Greg. Anyway, the teacher said, are y'all talking? And 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:24.839 I mean immediately you would think he's saying, you know, stop, no, sir, 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.920 He's like you told me alt, I go stead in 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.880 the hall. I thought, wow, this is harsh. I'm fling 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.560 to get set outside. Well I go outside, I'm standing 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.200 on the wall. Well, this ain't too bad. And then 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:39.160 he walks out with the paddle. This is got serious. 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.240 First day, first day, he said, three days or three leaks. 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.680 I said, give me three legs, and but three days 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:50.680 or what of going home? Yeah, that's that's exactly what 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.680 they I don't know what they did down where you're from, 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.920 the same here.

I was sent to the principal's office 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:08.320 one time for defending my friend Donald Myers. Donald somebody 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:12.520 was jumping on Donald Myers and I saw it from 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.960 a long ways away and it made me mad, and 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.120 I went over. He was off with a guy and 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.880 kind of wrestled with him. And the teacher saw this 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:24.760 and she was like, go to the office, and so 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.560 we went and stood by the office and I thought 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:30.479 my life was over.

Number one. 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:29.160 He's here because he went with me to Arizona three 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.280 or four weeks ago, whenever it was when we went 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.679 to meet Warner Glenn.

Mike Schultz has aside 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.440 from his professional career, which he was a dentist, so 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.120 he has a doctor as well. We can go him 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:33.199 doctor Schultz. He did. He's dedicated his life to photography 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.240 to a pretty big portion of his world. Mike tell 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.559 us just a little bit about the type of photography 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.360 you've focused on. Well, for the beginning of my career, 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.200 it was pretty much landscape oriented, and I did that 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.640 with large box cameras with big film holders and that 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.000 kind of thing. I did that for probably twenty five years, 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:58.600 and then I started working professionally, mostly because I had 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:03.600 an industry in interest in large industry. And then I 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:09.000 started using smaller cameras and getting more interested in industry 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.560 and what goes on in large industry like steel mills 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.360 or foundries and that type of thing. And that's been 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.680 the pretty much the focus of my work, uh since then, 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.280 although I still do some landscape work as well, but 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.560 most of it is is more centered around industry and 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.040 the workers and the work that they do. Mike has 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.640 traveled around the world. He got a Googgenheim. Right, do 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:38.880 you know what that conditions are? You? Okay, you to 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:48.480 put some barrel on Isaac. We're gonna say. Let me 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:52.400 just interpret this for us Hillbillies. Guggenheim is like a 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:57.280 massive honor and award in a in a how about 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.480 you tell us what it is, Mike, Well, Guggenheim Fellowship 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.640 is an award given through a competition that's held every 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.360 year and throughout North America. It was started in the 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.120 mid nineteen twenties, I believe by a senator by the 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.920 name of Guggenheim who had a son who died at 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.000 age fourteen, and in order to honor their son, they 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:20.720 started this foundation. Now the name Guggenheim is Austin associated 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.439 with the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Uh, same family, 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.840 But the Guggenheim Fellowship is not is not really the 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:32.320 Guggenheim Museum. It's it's a different branch of the family 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:40.760 that started this. And they give awards in science, arts, performance, literature, composition, 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.800 you name it. Uh, and that they give that all 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.160 those awards everywhere. Give any kind of award to me 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:53.040 and Brent, Yeah, I think it's I think there's such 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:57.040 a uniqueness there. I think there's a very good like 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:08.040 a category you know. I don't know, but you got 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:12.480 this skuganut and which was basically they sponsored a an 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.760 initiative that you did and you made your books, made 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.000 a book. So you traveled the world and went to foundries, 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.840 which I would have known what a foundry was. Do 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:27.200 you know what a foundry is? Looking at everybody, he's 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.400 a doctor. Everybody in here, but the doctor or something. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.560 You knew it, and he didn't. I could tell by 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:42.640 his eyes. No, Mike, Mike has traveled the world going 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:47.480 to foundries, which is where they basically cast huge molten, 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:51.800 cast steele for huge parts and so like he has. 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.480 It's just a it's like going into the underworld. I mean, 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.120 visually you just can't comprehend the images. Have you ever 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.679 been to a found I happen to own a book 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:11.880 about this question. You've ever been to? Okay, Mike, Okay, 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.600 back to Mike. Well, yeah, what's the name of the book. 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.400 It's called Foundry Work. And there were actually two books done. 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.800 It was a volume one in a volume two. Yeah, 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:24.120 we're done, and they're amazing.

I want to get 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:51.280 that book, you guys know, I like I like good introductions. 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.320 We spend like thirty minutes doing introductions. I got to 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.160 say this about Mike because I don't know when Micha 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.240 will be back on the render um judging about what's 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.480 going on already. And if I let's just say I 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:08.920 had five fingers on one hand, hypothetically, hypothetically, Mike Schultz 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:16.960 would be top five most influential the hand Well, I 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.200 mean you could have just said top five you just 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:26.200 started with. It is a podcast. No one can see 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:35.680 what you're I'm just holding up my hand for drama. Okay, listen, Okay, 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:41.640 the pinky is Dan Rude, the smallest feer. Know. I 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:45.080 gotta know Mike, and we have I view. Mike is 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:48.480 like He's my uncle, and so I look up to him. 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.120 But I would say our relationship is not as much 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:55.480 like uncle nephew. It's more like friends. That's the way 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.640 I view it. And we've run around together pretty a 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.560 lot in the last twenty years. Man, I was trying 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:05.680 to tell us Isaac earlier today. By nature there I 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:17.560 would be unorganized mismanaged much more than Okay, Mike. The 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:22.280 precision inside of Mike Schultz life has dramatically altered who 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:28.440 I am today. If you dramatically altered thank you. Yes, yes, 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:36.000 total chaos would have been unleased on the world years ago. Joking, 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:40.160 I'm not three years ago. Listen to what I'm telling you. 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.600 Three years ago, we rolled up in here early one morning. 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.640 We were getting on a flight three hours later going 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:51.600 to Saskatchewan. Clay says, man, I got to pack. I've 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:54.680 been packed for three weeks and I'm unorganized. But he's 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.480 that morning, Man, I gotta get my stuff together, Dude, 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:06.440 I'd been busy, Brent, for real, Mike, this is just 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.200 Mike is also a master woodworker. He makes some of 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.400 the finest furniture you've ever seen. Anything Mike does, he 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:18.560 puts precision into it. And that has impacted me. And 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.360 I think it's important that you know the people that 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:26.520 you're around. I've learned to be impactable, to see character 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.720 traits inside of people, recognize your own deficiency and be like, 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.440 I want to be more like that, and I'm not. 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:33.600 And we're gonna get back to Mike when we talk 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:35.920 about meat and Morner Glenn. I want to talk about 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.600 bear Camp though. So we just last week we had 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:42.320 the kind of Newcomb family and friends bear Camp. Almost 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:48.320 all the friends, almost all the friends we I wish 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.680 Bear Newcomb could be here, he could tell his story, 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.840 but tell him, give us a give us an overview 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.360 brand of the of our weekend. Well, I mean we 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.880 get there on the day before it opens up. My 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:01.880 well as you y'all got there a couple of days early. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.639 I got there on Friday. Well, James and I go around. 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.240 We checked baits. You guys are checking baits James Lawrence. 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.399 James Lawrence, who was on episode number two of the 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.680 Bargars podcast, did a bio on him. Not a daylight 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.879 picture anywhere out of the four baits that James and 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.080 I were looking at. So it was just a coin 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.640 flip where we're gonna go, and jameson's where you want 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:22.880 to go, And I'm like, I told him the spot 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:24.679 I wanted. I told Clay the same thing, said, I 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:28.480 just you know, it's an old stand by spot. River 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.440 killed her first bear there, Shepherd killed Shephard killed his 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.359 first bear there. I know, James just killed three bears there. 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.200 But but all of that, you know, had shooter. Bears 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.600 are gone. It's not during just not during the day. 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:42.879 So me and Isaac rolling there. So okay, Isaac was 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.520 there because Isaac we filmed this whole thing. Dan, even 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.000 though you weren't there, you'd be able to feel like 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:55.240 you were there. Yeah, because if you have five fingers 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.520 on the hand, you would have been the six fingers 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:08.800 if I had six six. That's so Isaac was there 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:12.120 because he was he was helping film he and Dave 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:16.600 Gardner for a film that's gonna come out for the 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:18.639 Meat Eat YouTube channel at some point in the future. 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.720 So Isaac was filming. That's why Isaac was there. Carry on, 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.080 It started off great, man, we get we just said 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.280 we're gonna go. That's where we're gonna go. So you 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.600 guys have gone to a different spot, and they left earlier. 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:32.760 I stayed back. They get help sheep get to his spot, 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:36.520 help miss to get to their spot. Your you missed, 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:41.199 we missed the whole day. He's telling his bear camp. Okay, 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:47.080 this is okay. And my youngest son came in, so James, 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:51.600 Brent play, Isaac Dave Gardner, and then Misty and Shepherd came. 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.159 And then on that first Friday night, my mom and 0:18:54.240 --> 0:19:02.040 dad came. Ju was there, Gary was there. We so 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:10.680 we had a big shindig. Everybody everybody drinking wed coffee 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.880 twenty four hours a day when we're at Gerald made 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.640 gallon barrel and sit it right on the pot, right 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:20.720 on the fire, so there was there was coffee enough 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:26.480 for everybody. It was it that may have been an exaggeration. 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.320 We would come in at like midnight and he'd be like, 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:33.320 I put the coffee on, coffee is hot, still made 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:35.880 it fresh from about eleven. Yeah it was good. Good 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:39.080 stut we'd hit it hard. Yeah, So okay, So that 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:41.480 was the first night, which was kind of like everybody 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.600 came in and so we're standing at a place. We're 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.280 not camping, we're staying at a cabin. So then what 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.640 happened the next day Brent, okay, so you can tell 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.560 about your hunting now. Now here we go. So we 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.000 get everybody sit on the stand, Isaac can I do? 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.360 And then we take off for our spot. I gets 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.280 it's like nine miles as a crow fly us from 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.399 where we are. But you know, and when you go 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.600 on the mountains in the mountains, yeah, fourteen back and 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.720 forth and left and right and all that kind of stuff. 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:11.119 And we get almost there and I look very frantically 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:12.680 in the back seat of the truck, and now I 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:14.400 look back at Isaing and I think, man, we gotta 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:16.840 go back to the camp because I forgot my bow. 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:20.919 So he's like, it's gonna be a problem. I like, 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:22.640 if we don't go back and get it, it's gonna 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.760 be a real big problem. It turns out he was right. 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:28.400 So we go back. We go all way back to camp, 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:31.520 get it. We'll get on the stand, which we were 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:35.040 are target time to get there was three. We were 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:39.480 in our late we got there for delay. We were 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:43.120 set at I think four twelve. We were set. Hey, 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:45.400 you had the cameras everything set up ready to roll. 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:47.800 I told him, I said, man, I know you haven't 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:49.480 ever said on one of these bear baits, I said, 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.040 but you know, you talk about the golden hour of 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:54.560 deer hunt. I said, we're going to have the golden 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:57.640 fifteen minutes if we're lucky before dark. You know that's 0:20:57.720 --> 0:20:59.359 it's just the way it is. They're gonna come in. 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.400 We may see him out there, we may hear him, 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:04.600 but they're gonna hang around. And you know it dark, 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:08.399 especially we've got no daylight pictures. Five minutes to six, 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:11.000 I'll look over to my left, and short enough, here 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:14.359 comes a bear. And I miked up. I tell, I 0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:16.159 tell Eliazac, you know here you can I see a 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:20.320 bear coming. And and we hadn't had a daylight picture 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.879 there in a long time, and over a week, so 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:25.680 it's yes, like what are you doing here? Yeah? Exactly, 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:27.560 you know. I was more, did you ever think about 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:32.480 just shooting it off? That thought never entered my mind? 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:37.560 You're in the wrong place, Yeah, you're you're early. But anyway, 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:41.639 good bear walks up, good shooter bear and walks behind 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:44.879 and and he's behind the barrel and and and looks 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:47.520 directly up there at us, and I thought, well, this 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:49.920 is it. So but I had already come to full draw. 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:54.720 Bear takes a turn, I watched the video. You you 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.520 about jerked the back out of that bow when you 0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:01.160 hit your when you hit your your when I when 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:08.160 I pulled back, when when I were trying to pull 0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:11.560 it back while the bears right. So you're just like 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:14.720 as soon as as soon as I as I disappeared, 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:17.280 I pulled it back. So when he come out and 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:19.480 he's looking at me, I got it right between his eyes. 0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:21.320 I thought, you know you're gonna one way or the 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:23.919 other if I get a shot, you know, I'm I'm ready. 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:26.280 And they did. He did that old thing you know 0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:28.679 where they just kind of start doing to move slow 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:31.879 and all of a sudden they just they're gone. But 0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:34.320 when he turned to the left, back to the left, 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:36.720 or the bear turned back to the left, and I 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:38.640 had a good quarter and shot. I turned to loose. 0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:41.080 I saw it come out the front and two or 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:44.400 three jumps and just we watched him walk away. Yeah, 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:47.199 that was what was odd, is suston spar It's what 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:49.760 seems to be like a tin ring shot and the 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:51.880 bear text a couple of leaps and then just start 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:55.399 just walks off, which is not I wouldn't say that's common. No, 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:58.040 it was nothing. The other two bears that I've shot, 0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:00.760 like that that I've taken. When I shot him, man, 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:02.920 there it was like that you lit a fuse. They 0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:07.359 were gone and and both of them died within gosh, 0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:10.880 forty yards. I guess where I was at this. We're 0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:13.760 going backwards here. But the first bear you killed, I 0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:18.119 was with you, and it ran like a racehorse about 0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:24.159 twenty yards, tumbled down a very steep hill and splashed 0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:27.240 into a creek. Do you remember that? Oh? Yeah, I 0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:31.600 was there absolutely vividly. The next year, which or the 0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.720 next bear I killed, which was last year, that bear 0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:38.879 was standing in the same tracks and ran the same 0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:41.160 place but got hung up. But they were both dead 0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:44.320 once they hit the edge of the woods, this one. 0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:46.600 And I felt good about the shot. I mean, it 0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.560 surprised me when it went off. It was the hair 0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:52.600 I was looking at. That knock covered it up. When 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:55.480 it went through. The bear took four or five good jumps, 0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:57.520 so way I remember it. I hadn't seen the footage. 0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:00.400 And then he just walked off and I just turned 0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:02.960 out looking Isaac. You know, no, no, no, no, no no. 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:07.280 You stared at that bear for twenty minutes. Yeah, probably 0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:09.120 need to tell the rest of this because I had 0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:13.159 no sense. I felt like an eternity. You just watched 0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:16.520 where that bear disappeared for like probably three and a 0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:19.040 half minutes. Yeah, I mean there's a lot that went on. 0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:21.080 Hours later we come back because y'all had to come 0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:23.160 back to camp. We came all the way off from 0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:25.720 where we got back to camp. We got a problem 0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:28.520 where we're at no very little cell coverage. So like, 0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:31.680 somebody does something, you gotta go talk to him. You 0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:34.679 gotta do it old school. Well, actually the thing is 0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:36.480 Clay was going to invite you, but we got down 0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:47.080
