What is that noise?
It's music?
It's music.
No.
Free music.
No, what's that noise that you hear when an elk gets shot?
It goes, ohhhhh.
Is that what it sounds like?
A bleat.
Actually, I wasn't there when they were shot, so I'm not sure.
I was there to help harvest the animal.
Harvest.
Alright, welcome back.
It's been a while.
Paul's been on sabbatical killing animals.
Yes, well, trying to.
Well, he didn't kill any.
He just gutted them.
Yeah.
Hey, we're five-sixth through the year.
We're, Halloween just passed.
We are on the corner of Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The climate has changed.
Officially, we can put on a jacket once in a while.
It is fall.
It's exciting.
And every year you go and, well, first of all, I'm Sean.
I'm Paul.
And I'm Jeff.
And we have a guest tonight.
Rob, you want to introduce yourself with no last names?
Rob.
Dude, you nailed it.
Living Frisco.
On spot, right there.
Or maybe I shouldn't even say that.
No, we're all from Frisco.
All good.
Thanks for joining us.
I hope you have fun tonight.
We're happy to have you.
Any topic you'd like to talk about?
I'm looking forward to it.
Any topic you'd like to talk about?
I'm looking forward to it.
Any topic on the table.
So if you want to talk about something different.
They know you live on King Drive.
Exactly.
One, one, one, one.
All right.
Anyway, so welcome aboard.
We are, and Rob was gracious enough to bring a couple of scotches.
There are actually ones that Irish Whisky wants to scotch.
So we're going to partake in one of those at halftime.
But we started with a new one.
I think I got lucky finding this.
It's Michter's Small Batch American Whisky, unblended American Whisky.
Yes.
And it's quite a bit.
I like it.
It's smooth.
It's very in the middle of the road.
Yeah.
It's a safe bourbon to bring.
It's kind of like TX Whisky except.
But it's not a bourbon.
Yeah.
Is TX Whisky a bourbon?
No, TX Whisky is not a bourbon.
No.
Well, this is a whiskey as well.
They're both whiskeys.
Yeah, correct.
But TX Whisky is just a little bit more piccante.
I want to say powerful.
This doesn't have a really punch in the face smell.
I think the smell does.
I think the flavor is a little.
It could be just my taste buds though.
I think there's more nose or smell to it than flavor.
I agree.
Yeah.
I mean, the nose is very, very nice.
Sweet.
Ah, that stinks.
Maybe it's just my allergies.
And the taste is really good too.
It just doesn't last long.
I want to go back for a second because I wanted to let you guys know that Rob is a friend.
He's in our inner circle.
Bob went to some of our Bible studies in the past.
And we've been trying to get all of our friends to join.
So Rob is a dude like us and does stupid dudes like us things.
And one of those, I mean, because we've talked about the beer crafting and I mean, you used
to brew your own beer.
And maybe we could talk about that a little bit because that's the thing that dudes like
us like to do.
And dudes like us like to drink.
So Rob did bring a scotch and an Irish whiskey.
I wanted to make sure we said that before we kind of lost that.
There's some people that are tuning in for the first time and they don't know that randomly
sometimes we'll have a guest on here.
Gotcha.
Well, we said we have a guest tonight.
But it's not always.
I just happen to be walking by.
Yeah.
And I'm like, hey, man, what are you doing?
His polka dots matched.
Taking a walk in the neighborhood.
Yeah.
Just a stranger.
Yeah.
So anyway, this Mikters is considerably lower proof than what we have been on here the last
several months.
It's only, I think, 83.
Yeah, 41.7 percent.
So I'm not good with math, but if you were to double that, 83.4.
There you go.
83.4 proof.
So I think that's lending to some of it.
But again, I like it.
Comparison to TX Whiskey.
I think I may like the TX Whiskey better.
I do.
It strikes me like similar to TX Whiskey.
It strikes me as an after dinner, after dinner, you know, drink it neat, you know.
Right.
Yeah.
You're going to get more flavor.
Yeah.
Correct.
Yeah.
So anyway, good.
Good.
We'll put it in the middle, I'd say.
It's not it's not bad.
We definitely have.
We have one hundred and seven bottles now.
That's insane.
And it's probably in the middle somewhere, is my guess, because we have some stinkers
out there.
Well, we're going to have to say this every single time.
We need to take the time.
We don't have time to do anything.
We barely have time to do this podcast, let alone sit and make a list, a power list of
all of our bourbons.
I made a list and it was like 30 bourbons ago.
So we talked about it's like we're starting to forget, oh, have we done this one or was
that good?
Was it like we did this one?
But I think maybe I'm thinking the accent.
No, we have a mix out there.
We have the Macmichter Small Batch bourbon.
Oh, is that what it was?
It's a green label.
This is see, that's what's confusing.
There's multiple, you know, variations of different bottles that we drink and it's impossible
to remember them all like an Iron Maiden kind of and we were on there, you know, and we
really like the Macmichter's bourbon.
And we really like that.
So that's why I got that.
Man, this is super solid.
I mean, it is.
I would feel comfortable bringing this to anybody's house.
Yeah.
So this is the American whiskey.
So scroll down for me, Mr. Producer.
I see some other Macmichter's.
Imagine this probably.
I see a Kentucky straight rye, a Kentucky straight bourbon, a sour mash.
See, that's part of the challenge, right?
It's hard for us to remember.
Yeah, we have the middle one.
Yeah, the straight bourbon.
We don't have the sour mash.
Have we had any sour mashes?
We're probably going to have to steer that direction eventually.
Hold on.
So we have had the straight bourbon.
Bourbon, yeah.
We've had the...
So you have a bottle of that in your cabinet.
Yeah, it's out there.
Okay.
And we really liked it.
We really liked it.
Okay.
Sounds good.
So I wonder what the sour mash is.
We haven't gotten into any of those.
Yeah, I would be interested.
Is it really sour?
I don't know.
We got it.
Well, that would be interesting.
That would be interesting to try sometime.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's their Distillery's single most popular bottle, product.
This one here?
That's what it says, the sour mash.
It's sour mash.
It's like moving test.
Roll it up just a little bit more so we see the whole paragraph there.
Yeah.
So Victor, you asked, once sour mash is squiggled, it will become a favorite of whiskey enthusiasts.
It says, Victor's original sour mash whiskey was a Distillery's single most popular product.
It's funny, we're reading one that we don't have.
Yes.
Much like making sourdough bread.
We haven't done that.
So it is sour.
Is that what it says, sourdough bread?
Yeah.
Or about some previously fermented mash is used as a starter for the new mash to be fermented,
much like a sourdough bread.
Well, I think it would be worth trying.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
It's all worth trying.
Yes.
Well, we liked the original bourbon.
We liked this one.
I think I liked the original bourbon better than this one, but we'll have to, I don't
remember seeing that sour mash anywhere.
We're eventually going to have to turn a corner.
I'm sorry, not a corner.
We're going to have to do a lap with our bourbons.
Go back.
I mean, just try because-
Are we doing them again?
Yeah.
And this time record on the spreadsheet how we felt about it.
Correct.
Well, we've done that to a couple of them already.
Nose Mill, we've killed, what, two or three bottles of that.
It's good though.
Nose Mill's pretty strong.
It's 115, 16 proof.
So we did bourbon and-
Is it?
Yes.
Is it?
Yeah, we did that with the Nose Mill.
We killed the rare breed.
Oh, that's so good.
I think we did it with Clyde Mays.
We did it with a couple of them we really like.
Yeah.
Buffalo Trace.
We've gone through a few of the Buffalo Trace ones as well.
Anyway, and Wellers.
You know, I got a, something's been bugging me.
You know, I saw a clip-
Your Android?
Yeah.
Actually, they've been doing well.
Thank you for asking me.
Yeah.
They were bad.
Is hemorrhoids?
I had a hemorrhoid for, first of all, I've never had hemorrhoids.
My brother used to get them really bad and he would like, fuck you, you're going to get
them someday.
What'd he show you?
Well, they're like two squirrels in a bag fighting each other.
You got to help me lancees, brother.
You got to help me lancees.
So you know, and I'm thinking, well that must suck.
My wife said, there's a lot of people around me that have had hemorrhoids and I have not
had one ever.
And then all of a sudden, like two years ago, I got a little tiny hemorrhoid and it was
uncomfortable.
And you know, and I had it and it went away.
Ah, good.
I didn't do anything.
It just kind of went away.
I don't know.
Can't explain it.
My understanding is they are caused by diet.
I don't know.
I'm thinking-
Diet or diet changes.
I thought it was if you didn't wipe enough.
Ah.
Another cause of this.
Well, let's ask.
Did you wipe enough?
Those are dingleberries.
Those are different.
That's if you wipe too much.
So where was your wiping, John?
I mean, were you clean?
Oh, I'm a thorough wiper.
Okay.
So we can rule that out.
Yeah.
I'm very clean.
My mom always, that's how she'd get me off the pot as a kid.
You're going to get hemorrhoids if you sit on the toilet too long.
I couldn't imagine-
You had a problem sitting on the toilet.
Let's say I'm not using a baby wipe.
I read a book or something.
A book?
Yes, or a magazine.
I just think it's-
Victoria's Secret.
If you don't use a baby wipe or wet wipe, you just don't get as clean as you would
without it.
I mean, I would never, I always have to have wet wipes.
Me too.
I always have to have wet wipes.
Because-
It's a must.
I mean, because to me, wiping with toilet paper and that's it, it's like that you're
not done.
What if you're not done?
That means you have taken on a responsibility.
If you only have toilet paper, you've taken a responsibility where you have to make sure
that you have a straight line to the next bathroom.
That's just a temporary deal.
Either you're in a public event and you're on the way out, that means you go straight
home and you take care of business or you jump in the shower.
Finish the cleaning.
What if you're in the middle of Colorado pooping in a hole?
I took wipes with me.
And you run out of wipes?
No.
Oh.
And you got 10 more days.
You take a stroll, you jump in the stream.
Wow.
It's zero degrees.
I'd rather have dingleberries.
Wow.
I don't know, man.
That's a tough call.
Maybe heat up a wash rag.
Sorry, Rob.
Yeah.
See what I mean?
This was not on our list.
This was not on the topic list.
Yeah.
But how do you feel about this topic, Rob?
Care to weigh in?
No, not...
Well, I was...
Tell us about your hemorrhoid experience.
I was going to ask if...
Does hemorrhoids run in your family?
I've only had it once myself, too, and that was a number of years ago.
Okay.
All right.
It wasn't particularly uncomfortable, but...
I have not yet experienced the roid.
You know, what it does, what it did to me is it always felt like...
Did it bleed?
The bleeding hemorrhoid?
Well, when you...
Did it run down your leg?
When you wipe, it does bleed a little bit, because what it does is it makes me feel like
I'm not clean, you know?
Because there's something going on down there, I'm not sure what it is, and I can't see it,
you know?
So I just keep freaking cleaning it.
That's why we have selfie cameras on our phone.
Yeah.
No, that is not why...
Your son is very good at taking that picture.
Selfie stick?
Your oldest son.
Wow.
Okay.
You know, so...
Moving right along.
I was gonna say I was disturbed about some of the stuff that I saw today on TV, because
I think about my kids and I'm thinking, you know, what is the good Rittenhouse...
Yeah, Kyle Rittenhouse.
Rittenhouse.
Kyle Rittenhouse.
Young boy was on TV.
He was 17.
He's 17, 18 right now, and he's in court.
The dude, how many guys did he kill?
He killed one guy?
I believe he injured two and killed one.
Yeah.
And so...
As a mob was attacking him.
I mean, imagine if you're him.
I mean, take politics out of it.
Just imagine, you know, it doesn't matter if he's there and he's pumped up.
I don't care what the feeling is that's in his brain.
I mean, he was not outwardly expressing it and being tribal about it.
You know, he was sitting there crying.
I think he was overwhelmed.
Yes.
And I just think, I mean, how can you imagine?
He's a kid.
You're chased down like that by a mob and you're kind of like...
I mean, this is a horrific stories out there.
Yeah.
You know, being white with the whole woke program and it's just...
I mean, if it were me, what would you do?
You defend yourself.
It's fight or flight.
If he was running.
Yes.
Well, he was getting hit by the skateboard and the guy came up to him holding a gun,
pointed at him.
Yep.
And that was one of the shots, blew his bicep apart.
Vaporized, I think.
Vaporized was the thing.
Yeah, is what the guy said.
And rightfully so.
Yeah.
There's a picture of it too.
Yeah.
Rittenhouse.
So did you see the footage?
I saw the footage today of him completely breaking down on stand today.
Yeah, there he is.
Yeah, he was crying.
It's like he had PTSD or something where he completely lost it.
Yeah.
I mean, it was uncontrollable.
And that's my point because, you know, he probably, honestly, he probably held it back
so much.
It's been bothering him.
And that's exactly what is PTSD.
Tremendous amount of stress and pressure considering how they've been treating him.
He may be going to jail.
Well, and how they've been treating him in the media.
I mean, they've been calling him a white supremacist.
They're calling him basically a school shooter.
I mean, you should see all the quotes from the mainstream media about him.
I wonder if he gets acquitted from all of this.
And they're going to mistrile is what's going to happen because the prosecution has just
royally screwed this up.
And they were apparently.
Yeah, they did.
And apparently, the judge was yelling at the guy.
Yeah, at the prosecutor.
About the prosecutor, about he was doing something about the First Amendment.
I don't quite understand what it was, but he was making I don't know if he was commenting
because, well, he didn't comment after he got arrested.
Well, that's a you're a right to remain silent.
Of course.
Right.
And I think the prosecutor was claiming that as proof of guilt almost.
Oh, my God.
Well, he did some of the stuff they were saying was just.
Retarded right.
I mean, just just.
You mean the line of questioning?
It was it.
It gives me no confidence in our system when you have grown.
That's a prosecutor.
Yeah.
So that's the city prosecutor or state prosecutor.
Yeah.
What's crazy is all the all the witnesses they brought for the prosecution ended up making
the defense's case.
Yeah.
Do you see the footage where the prosecutors?
Even the kid's arm that got vaporized, he was like, did he did he aim his gun at you,
which happened first?
And he was they were saying, well, when he was when your hands were up in the air, did
he point his gun at you?
He's like, no.
When you pointed his gun at him, did he point his gun at you?
Yes.
Yeah.
When you pointed your gun at him, did he point his gun at you?
But that's exactly it.
They they worded.
It was crazy.
It's just it's entrapment.
Yeah.
The and the prosecutor, there's a picture of him with his hand and he's like he had a face
palm just like this, like there was a case as soon as they said that there was a case.
Yeah.
So, Rob, have you been disconnected from this?
Yes.
Mr. So first up, when did it happen?
I know the trial started last week.
It's a year ago.
Well, plus plus some, I think.
OK, so last summer, not this past summer, but the year before summer.
2020 summer is when the incident happened and it was the Kenosha Kenosha riots with
a K with a K. Yes.
Wisconsin, right?
Correct.
Wisconsin.
And the Kenosha riots started when there was yet another incident with a white police
officer in a in a black a black man who scuffled with police around a van.
And then they scuffled around the van.
And then he went and reached inside his car and he had a knife.
And then he was shot dead.
And then, boom, riots.
Riots happened.
And this and this burning house doors down houses, whole nine yards.
Yes.
And so dealing theft.
Yes.
Burning.
Yeah.
Burning businesses and all this kind of stuff.
And so this kid made the decision whether it was good or not, because I've always thought
to myself, hmm, how is this going to end if I have my gun out in a very dangerous situation?
Right.
So I'm going to take his A.R. 15 and go to Kenosha and and help protect businesses from
the looters.
There is right there.
That's his bicep that is getting blown up.
That's him on the ground.
Yeah, that that's written house on the ground.
He's got people all around him that are yelling, kill him, kill him.
And you see the guy.
That's him who had his bicep blown up.
OK.
And he was holding the gun at him.
So written house shot and hit him in the bicep.
And he and he this guy here is what completely destroy the prosecution's case.
And he was he was testifying for the prostitution.
Yeah.
OK.
Yeah.
The defense hasn't even made their case yet.
It's been the prosecution with their own star witnesses.
And basically the case is over.
Look at this guy running up on him.
I mean, it's it's lone survivor.
They're calling him right.
Lone survivor.
The power of suggestion.
I'm telling you, like he went on this killing spree and killed hundreds of people.
Nobody was left but this one guy.
Yeah.
That's his bicep.
You see that big old blob of pink?
Yeah, bad.
I mean, nobody wins in this deal.
No.
And he you know, if he has grounds like the the Covington kids where he sued CNN and won,
he saw Washington.
He sued Washington Post and won.
Yeah.
And they may get some of this because you should.
I mean, yeah, you should see the comments that mainstream media was making about this
kid.
Right.
It was crazy.
You think they would have learned from the Covington kids.
They don't care.
It's more.
It's about the narrative.
The they're in on it.
The actual narrative is is valued more than what they're going to pay out.
Probably.
We'll pay a hundred million dollars to get this message across because people won't know
about the settlement, but they will remember what we what we said.
Right.
And it's crazy.
So right after the whole incident happened, he ran to the police and then was like, you
know, I just shot somebody.
I just shot somebody.
And they're like, get back, get back.
Because, you know, at that point, it was chaos.
I'm sure they're a bunch of rioters.
And they said, go home, just go home.
And so he did.
He went home.
And then he and his mom, as soon as he got home, he and his mom went to the police department
at his local town or whatever and said, you know, you know, essentially turning himself
in right just to let him know what happened.
And, you know, he was fully, you know, it wasn't like he tried to run or hide or anything.
Anyway, I think the whole trial is a sham.
It's going to be otherwise.
They might not have known who did it or who he was.
Right.
Well, there's much of video.
Well, and it also would have made him look guilty.
Right.
But the truth is, he was he played it by avoiding it.
Yeah, he played it by the book all along.
And I mean, this thing's going to be open, closed, self-defense.
And it was obvious from the beginning.
It was self-defense anyway.
Plus, there were some other things he was doing out there from the humanitarian speaking.
He was he was he was providing first aid for people.
Yes.
You know, some people I don't know if they got shot hitting the head or stuff, but he
was put bandages on him.
And that was part of it.
Before this was going on.
That's what they were trying to shade his character because he was CPR trained, but
he was not a paramedic.
He was in like paramedic school.
And you know, he they basically forced him to lie and say that he was a paramedic to
admit that he had lied that he was a paramedic when he was on scene.
I'm a paramedic.
And he was like, well, I'm CPR trained and I'm training to be a paramedic.
But yes, I'm not a paramedic.
And so they were like, oh, he's a liar.
I'm really right.
So, so, so in his testimony today, he said they asked us, like, are you going to school?
Did you graduate high school?
Yes.
Are you going to school now?
Yes.
I'm going to Arizona State to study nursing.
Right.
How long do you think it's going to be before people protest Arizona State to kick him out
of Arizona State?
Or maybe the opposite?
I don't know.
I mean, I don't know.
Hold on.
Arizona is it that Republican?
Well, yeah, but they went Biden.
Well, Arizona State is a college.
Oh, the only conservative out there is Hillsdale.
They're all liberal.
So I give it time and I bet someone protests and gets a signature as to say he needs to
be reassured.
I don't feel safe with him here.
Even even if he doesn't, he's still going to have to change.
I mean, his whole life is different.
Moving forward, he's going to have to he may have to not even go to public school.
He may have to do something private.
It's kind of like the George Zimmerman thing.
Remember when that scuffle and he ended up killing Trayvon Martin?
I wonder what he's doing these days.
Yeah, he was acquitted and that caused all sorts of shit.
But he was an idiot, though.
He'll never live.
He'll never live the same life.
Yeah, I think he was kind of an idiot himself.
What was his name?
George George Zimmerman.
He was he was he was white Hispanic.
Why are you saying he was an idiot?
Well, just some of the things he was saying at the time, I don't remember what it was,
but I think not over the incident, but just some of the I think he was just trying to
stay in the limelight, maybe maybe.
I don't know.
Just after the fact and just some of the things that he said and did after the fact.
But I think that narrative was white man kills Trayvon.
No, he was a Hispanic guy.
He was Hispanic.
The turn white Hispanic.
Oh, just like black conservatives are now being called white supremacists.
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
Wrap your head around that one.
Just like that's another topic I wrote down where the Virginia elections and New Jersey.
Oh, boy.
No.
Right.
You guys hear about that one?
Oh, yeah.
Would you follow that one, Rob?
The yes, the election in Virginia.
Yes.
That's a big deal.
You know, that is a litmus test.
Back to the Zimmerman.
It says in 2013, this was life after the trial that 2013 Zimmerman's estranged wife called
nine eleven report that Zimmerman had assaulted her father and was threatening him with a
gun.
Yeah, they had some marital issues.
Yeah.
But still, I mean, there's no there's marital issues and then there's threatening with a
gun.
Anytime you bring a gun into the marital issues, things have changed.
Yeah, but but nothing didn't go anywhere.
It doesn't matter.
Well, it does if it's not true.
I mean, I have no idea.
Well, he was charged with felony aggravated assault.
Because he pointed a shotgun at his girlfriend during a domestic violence incident.
Yeah, he sounds like a scumbag, man.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think he kind of is.
But again, that was your point.
But the case was dropped.
There you go.
Anyway, so that was the domestic violence arrest life after the trial with Zimmerman.
I just want to.
Yeah.
Where's he at now?
Right.
I don't know if I can say anything, you know, they're saying that white racists elected
youngkin.
Right.
At the same time, electing the first Latino attorney general and the first black woman
lieutenant governor.
Yeah.
The ex Marine winsome.
I can't remember her last name.
Right.
Okay.
Holding an A.R.
Winsome Lusome?
Yeah, Winsome Lusome.
No, it's a she's a black lady from Jamaica.
She came over here, joined the Marines and everything.
And it's you know, it's it's and she was elected by white supremacists.
Yeah.
And and and all the white makes total sense.
White supremacists elected her apparently.
But that's the narrative.
It's so ridiculous.
It is.
It's a whole thing.
It's a ridiculous and they're saying that she is what is she the mouth of the white
supremacists?
I think it's what they're calling it.
Right.
Because she's speaking the language.
They just won't stop.
The liberals will not stop.
Anyway, there you have it.
So that's some.
But that was a big deal.
So so that was a swing state.
Virginia is a swing state, but it went for Biden.
Right.
Big, big.
And they and it was a full sweep, a full sweep in Virginia.
All three.
Yeah.
I wonder including the house, the Virginia State House.
What about New Jersey?
Did they take the because it was really close.
The governor still won the yeah, the incumbent of the Murphy.
But it was extremely close.
Yes.
It should have been a blah like it normally is, but it was extremely close.
And then the the oldest councilman got booted by the truck driver.
That's right.
Truck drivers.
Oh, so yes.
Five grand on his.
No less than that.
Well, he said he spent five thousand of his own money and then one hundred fifty three
in donations to do what?
To run his campaign.
He spent a whopping five grand.
The state.
This is Virginia.
No, no, no.
This is Senate, New Jersey.
This is the New Jersey Senate.
Truck driver, New New Jersey Senate.
Truck driver, New Jersey.
It's not it's not it's not the federal Senate.
It's the state Senate.
So how much did it make?
Truck driver.
I think about two dollars more than minimum minimum wage.
Yeah.
And the guy he beat was is was the president of the Democratic something in New Jersey.
So he was very high up.
He was the highest and he was the longest term senator in New Jersey.
I find that article where it says he won the election.
Edward Derr.
That's his name.
And the guy conceded today.
Because if you if you remember, if you if you saw the article, he didn't concede, even
though all the presses and everything said Derr won.
And he says, oh, well, I'm not going to concede because we just found twelve thousand new
ballots.
That that just were received in the mail.
They just found twelve thousand ballots.
And and I think they had a total of sixty thousand ballots that voted.
So it was a huge percentage that were all of a sudden found.
Right.
All right.
So I think a lot of questions came up and then they forgot about that.
And he conceded today.
OK.
Well, that's good.
Anyway, what a story.
I'm curious.
So this is so you're saying that they found some ballots.
So this is what this guy said, Sweeney.
So Sweeney said, well, we just found twelve thousand.
I'm not going to concede until we count because every vote counts and we need to count all
of them.
I love that headline concedes the truck driver.
Yeah.
It's like giving the guy a lot of credit.
Right.
Rather than giving his name.
Right.
He's just a truck driver.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
Yeah.
But what a great story.
This guy has no political background.
He says, I'm absolutely nothing.
I'm just a simple guy.
It was the people.
It was a repudiation of the policy that happened.
Interesting.
I love it.
I'd be totally reaching out to to Trump.
Mentor me, please.
Yeah.
I accept.
Stay off Twitter.
Yeah.
I wonder if in Virginia, like I wonder if he has a Twitter account.
I wonder if in Virginia, that school district that's there is at Loudoun County.
Yeah.
I wonder if they felt emboldened because they had the governor's support and this and that.
Of course.
They were waiting to see who won in this Virginia governor.
And I wonder if they're all going to step down now.
Oh, I would love that.
And because the parents are protesting hard.
Yeah.
Because of what the superintendent did.
He covered up the rape, the rape in the bathroom.
Yeah, he did.
Well, he moved the kid to a different school and the kid did it again.
Did it again at another school.
Yep.
That's exactly right.
Or he molested somebody or something.
I don't know.
Rob, have you been living under a rock?
Are you not watching any news at all?
Well, I'm not that in depth.
I hadn't heard about what you were just saying.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Where do you get your news sources?
If I'm just curious, like on a daily basis, do you have a go to?
From dudes.us.us.
There we go.
Yeah, exactly.
What a nightmare.
I mean, I think he's about three months behind.
He's like, did you hear?
Oh, that happened three months ago.
You're not going to believe this.
Trump lost.
Yeah.
Anyway, so no, not a...
I don't know about you guys, but every single...
Probably 10 times a day I check news.
I mean, I'm always...
I think that's...
I'm always grabbing my phone and...
You take some medication for that.
I need to.
It's bad.
I mean, it probably used to be worse.
Now, it's more like five times.
The US News and World Report?
No, no, no.
I go to Fox, I go to...
And then I go...
You know how a lot of...
You have an aggregate news source where they take...
Breitbart will take...
Well, no, not Breitbart.
Bon Gino Report.
The Bon Gino Report.
They'll take...
They'll compile news sources from all over, and they're generally conservative news sources.
And then, yeah, you just kind of scroll through and look at all of them.
You see, yeah, there's an app out there called...
What's it called?
No, you don't...
Breitbart?
No, the one that I showed you guys.
The report.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're called the report.
The report.
And it's an aggregate of all of these news sources.
Right.
So you pick...
I think it defaults to Liberty Daily, but if I want to go to...
Which one?
Like the Bon Gino Report.
Bon Gino Report, Red State, whatever.
There's a whole list of them.
And it gives you a quick little synopsis, and you click on those, it'll take you to
the story.
Yeah.
Okay, that's the best bit of information I've gotten today.
There you go.
Well, no.
We talked about hemorrhoids.
Sean's hemorrhoids.
I don't know that we resolved anything.
No, we really did.
The hemorrhoids...
No, and we don't have...
Or it's still not resolved.
Well, okay.
Great.
There was a point where I actually...
And Paul, you gave me this advice.
What are the little things you shove up your ass?
Suppositories.
Suppositories, okay.
Oh, I don't remember telling you about this.
Yeah, you showed me how to put them in.
No.
I say, Paul, did you put it in, or is that your finger?
What is that?
I'm glad I wasn't there for that.
I think you're thinking of Jeff.
No, that was not me.
No, that was not Jeff.
No, it wasn't Jeff?
No.
Oh.
That was you, Paul.
Pretty sure it wasn't me.
Anyways, I did a...
It was crazy the first time I've done a suppository.
I'm not a huge fan.
I've never done that in my life.
Did it work?
I don't recall.
I don't think it really...
I don't know.
You were too mentally scarred.
You're just like, it's not going to work.
Hold on.
So this was a medicine that had to be taken via...
No, it was just...
What is that called?
Preparation H.
It's a Preparation H where you have a little suppository and you push it in your butt and
you're like, oh, it's so weird.
Wait a second.
And you have to squeeze or something?
It's like you push the suppository in there.
No, no, no.
And it's kind of like, you know, you put a little coin on the end of the little box and
all of a sudden a little cat, Paul comes out, grabs the coin and pulls it in.
You ever see one of those little bank?
You had something come out of your butt and grab it?
No, no, no.
What I'm saying, do you recall the little bank?
Alien arm.
So that's what it felt like.
That's what my asshole did to the suppository.
It's like I put it in there about two thirds and all of a sudden it was like, where did
the thing go?
Wow.
Okay.
Was it a pill?
Was it flanged?
Was it ribbed?
No, but...
Was it like a butt plug?
Usually a suppository is a pill, like a pill.
But Preparation H is an ointment.
They have a suppository version as well.
Do they do?
Yes.
Really?
Yes.
So there are suppositories for all kinds.
I mean, that's the first time anything's gone in my butt.
So that just, besides the doctor visit.
The doctor's finger, yeah.
But outside of that, that was the first time.
So it was strange from that perspective, but there's, evidently it seems like if you were
to take medicine, like through your butt is a good place to take it because there's...
It's absorptive.
Yes.
It's very absorptive.
That's why they do the butt chug for beer.
Yes.
What?
They stick a bottle of beer up their ass.
Yes.
They stick a beer bong tube up their bottom and they pour beer into it and they get like
blown up.
That is the...
I mean, this is at Jimmy Buffett concert.
Is this the concert we're inviting Rob Toon to come in?
I think you're dead on it.
The Sticks concert?
The Sticks concert.
No, it's stupid college stuff.
Because I'm going to officially decline.
I'm sure, honestly, I'm sure...
I'm not butt chugging.
I'm sure it's fraternity hazing, right?
I'm sure they do that.
But also, what is that?
Jackass?
The show Jackass?
Oh, did they do that?
That kind of stuff.
Where they do...
Anyway.
If we're going to get into this anymore, I might need some more of this whiskey.
Yeah.
Can we move on?
We can pass the suppositories.
Yeah, we really need to move on.
You guys brought it up.
You guys told me we were going to discuss the time change, standard time.
Oh.
How much of a thing?
Not such deep subjects.
No pun intended.
I'm sure we're all opinionated on daylight savings time.
They need to do away with it.
Why?
It's not needed.
Yeah, but there's four time zones.
How do you get completely...
How would that work?
I'm not talking about time zones.
I'm talking about daylight savings.
Well, why?
What's your...
That's what time zones...
Why do we need to change the clock?
It used to be because...
Because some people can make more money.
Oh, I see.
Well, yeah, we don't need it anymore.
Well, that's an argument.
Right.
So it should be 8 o'clock, 8.30 by now.
I'm glad it isn't.
We just bought some time.
It's free time.
No, I think daylight savings should go away.
When did it start?
When did it just shift?
Last Sunday.
Oh.
Less than a week.
I didn't even realize it.
Like three days ago.
Well, because you go to sleep at four and get up at nine.
That's why your boss was looking mad angry at you.
I get up at seven, 7.30.
So you get three hours of sleep?
So you're...
Yeah, most likely.
I don't know.
I don't remember what the original reason for it was, but I do know there are politicians
calling for abolishing it.
But I don't know enough about it to...
Mountain time does not have daylight savings.
That is correct.
Well, no, they said that there's two states.
Is it two states?
I don't know if I would include all the mountain time states.
I think...
Arizona...
Arizona's one of them.
So they're saying there's no biological reason to change the time twice a year, but most
health experts support ending daylight saving time, not making it permanent.
Studies show that people get better sleep during standard time because the bright morning
light and reduced evening light make falling asleep easier.
Yeah, but that's not why they did it.
That might be doctors chiming in on it, but that's not why they did it.
They did it from a commerce perspective.
Well, the main purpose of daylight savings time...
Was back in the 1800s.
...called summertime is to make better use of daylight.
Yeah, I think it was farming.
We change our clocks, well, to make better use of daylight, which would involve...
To conserve fuel.
World War I.
What?
Well, according to...
Really?
Well, there was a story last weekend that the farmers don't like it, especially the
dairy farmers.
They say the cows are confused when they...
From a fucking hour?
...feed them at different times.
Get out of here.
Well, because they show up to yank the dips an hour early or an hour late.
Right, and all the cows are milling around going, what the fuck's going on here?
New Jersey.
What's going on here?
Jersey cows.
I'm dry.
What's going on?
You were just here.
Why isn't there no food out here?
What's going on here?
Oh, God, man.
Joe Pesci, you'll be...
Yeah, I'm in vote of...
Getting rid of it.
It doesn't matter to me.
You know what it does for me is it makes me have a longer day.
That's the only thing I can think of, is it makes it seem like you have a longer day.
I mean, because it's still dark when you get up and it's dark when you go to bed, but...
It sucks.
I'm not affected by it.
It doesn't bother me.
It does me.
And Mexico City, different countries, Mexico is a week ahead of us every time, every change.
Because my team had to get up and started working at six instead of seven, their time,
because they do it the week before.
Oh, okay.
So they were...
Oh, as far as the time change.
Yeah, so they time change a week before.
I thought you meant their calendar is a week.
No.
Very dramatic.
Is that the Inca calendar or something?
They're still in October.
That's what I did, is do the same.
How is October going?
We're already in November.
You're behind, man.
This is late, buddy.
No, so it kind of throws things off for a week, especially, well, for them, right?
Because they have to cover United's US hours.
A longer day, yeah.
So they work from, instead of, let's say, eight to five, they're working seven to four.
They get out early, but they have to get up early.
It doesn't matter to me.
It makes sense to not have to screw with time.
So from that perspective, I'm thinking, yeah, just leave it alone.
Just leave it alone.
Whatever.
Because I'll tell you what, you know what really grinds my gears?
Grinds your gears.
Every fucking time.
It's just like you're in the car, you're driving, and you look at it, oh, look at that.
I'm at work an hour early.
No, daylight savings time.
It's the fucking clock in the car.
You got to go in there and figure out how to reprogram that clock every fucking, twice
a year.
You never remember how to do it.
Twice a year, I got to figure that out.
We have one clock.
That's what grinds my gear.
Daylight savings, fuck you.
See, he's on board now.
We have one clock in the house that has not been changed yet.
Every time I look at it, I'm like, God, it's late.
Geez.
You know?
That's why when the phones start doing it by themselves and things start updating, and
it's, God, what a blessing.
Game changer.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't have an issue.
My car is super easy.
I just have to press the H button until it has the number that it's supposed to have.
I remember the previous car.
You had to dig down and do like...
Was it a windup clock?
Combo presses.
It only worked when the car was moving.
Yeah, you had to press it and press two other buttons, and then the clock would start flashing.
You're like, okay, now how do I adjust it?
You start turning knobs and hitting buttons.
You got to hit FM, AM.
That's ridiculous.
And volume down at the same time.
After six months, I pulled the manual out.
How the hell do I do this again?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that would be annoying.
That's when you have to get a new car.
Yeah.
I did.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah, now it's easy.
I just touch it.
Those were the struggles, though.
I mean, seriously.
Those were a struggle.
Every year.
So finally to the point, I was kind of like, fuck it.
Just leave it.
It'll be right in six months.
There you go.
Yeah, it'll go back.
Yeah.
Just like a broken clock is right twice a day.
Correct?
Thank you, Paul.
See, the thing is, if they do away with daylight savings time...
Unless it says AM.
There's a lot of things that have daylight savings time built into it.
Right?
So like Julie's new car, it has just a little check box, daylight savings.
And I...
Oh, and it does it automatically.
And I, well, no, to change a clock, I just uncheck it.
Oh, I see.
And it does it.
Oh, nice.
But there's a lot of electronics that have daylight savings built into it.
I'm sure security alarms, our stupid Ness that we have, and stuff like that.
Which, incidentally, in theory, Nest was a good idea.
I'm at a point now where I want to take my Nest and get rid of it.
Let's go back to the old school.
Because it's starting to have a mind of its own.
It's got a flaw in it.
And the folks from Google said, yeah, it's fucked up.
Send them back.
Really?
And we'll replace them.
And I'm like, I'm not fucking sending you my...
Why don't you send me two Nests and I'll return them?
I mean, like, no, no, no.
You send us your...
So you have to be without a Nest for a week or whatever?
Yeah, that's why I'm saying it.
However long is that second?
Wait a minute.
What did they say the problem is?
It's internal.
It's a network issue.
I don't know.
It could be an antenna.
It could be whatever.
But what's the symptom?
It can't...
Oh, connectivity.
Oh, it loses connectivity.
Yeah.
Yours, like, mysteriously adjusts.
Yeah, it has done it in a while, but yeah.
No, but that's why I want to get rid of it right now.
That's exactly right.
So, in the mornings, it drops it down to 68.
Even though you did nothing?
I didn't do shit.
And you know what?
And I could change it to other modes, so it won't, and it will still do it.
Yep.
And I don't get it.
And so, like, during the day right now, I got to crank it up to 75.
Crank it up to 75.
You know, and I got to be...
You know, I really enjoy our brand new air conditioning units.
Excuse me.
I really enjoy them.
There was a time where, you know, if I were to put it down to 76 degrees, it would freeze
the system out.
I'll get that fucking thing set at 68.
Wow.
I love it.
That's cool.
That's really cool.
But now it's starting to get cold.
It's kind of the opposite.
Now I'm kind of like, you know, I'm wearing, like, the thigh-high socks, you know?
And I've got the thermostat set at 75.
But it resets.
Like, during the day, it'll drop down to 68 again.
Right.
You don't have to come out of the office, and I'll feel it.
You know?
And I got a fan in my office that's...
I got to take that fan out.
It's like wall-to-wall.
Yeah.
I've got like...
It's ridiculous.
I bought it.
It was a super oversized fan.
It was a big ass Sam fan.
It was huge.
And I have to take it out.
It's too big.
I turn it on, and there's like seismic disruption.
It's like tables moving.
You know?
Papers move, flying everywhere.
Yeah.
Did you really take it down?
No, I have to, though.
My wife's like, well, take that fan down and put it in the living room.
I'm sorry.
I'll do that.
Yeah?
I just haven't done it yet.
Yeah, you went overboard.
It was too big.
Oh, my God.
This fan is so... it moves so much air that it pops your ears.
Yeah, I have a friend that...
It's like bending them down.
Yeah, I have a friend who built an arbor outside, and he was so excited to put up a big ass
fan.
Yeah, and he did.
And he was like...
I don't know what the fascination is.
I appreciate you bringing the yingling light.
Yeah.
There you go.
Yeah, so I had a...
You need a beer?
Sure.
There's like some obsession with big ass fans.
Yingling lager.
Yeah.
Yingling lager light.
Very excited with yingling coming to Texas.
Light lager, okay.
That's a smooth transition.
Did you need a beer?
No, I'm good for right now.
But yeah, the big ass fan, you know, I've got that big ass one out there, because it's
a huge room out there.
But the big ass fan's more for commercial, I think.
I don't think...
No, they're residential as well.
Do they have residential now?
They're really expensive.
Oh, are they?
Right.
Yeah.
I have a few claims.
I shouldn't say it like that.
Yeah.
Plus, they stand behind their products too.
Right.
Yeah.
Are they US made?
Yeah, they are.
And they're funny too, man.
They're good people.
I've had a couple of instances where something happens.
Let's just say someone throws a medicine ball up in the air and the big ass fan blade hits
it.
And those things, because of the size of them, you have to basically take the whole fan down
and replace it when something like that happens.
Normally, you'd probably go up there and just change out the blade, do some a little bit
alignment, put a nickel on the back of that.
No, with those big ass fans, it's a finely tuned machine.
They're quiet too, aren't they?
Yeah.
They're fairly quiet and they're just big.
Well, the new ones, like the ones I've got here and the one downstairs, I think they're
magnetic.
They don't have a motor.
Oh, the drives on them.
The drives.
So they're quiet.
They make no noise except for the blades.
How's that go?
So there's no motor hum at all.
When you turn them on, they test themselves.
The first time I saw it, I was like, there's something wrong with it because the blades
were jerking around.
And they test.
Is that calibrating?
It was calibrating.
Yeah, so it was calibrating the blades to make sure they're all where they're supposed
to be.
Where'd you buy this from?
Just Home Depot.
Home Depot?
Okay.
I guess I'm not privy to the new generation of old fans.
What that is is that when you turn it on, there are actually squirrels inside the motor
that they're like, holy shit, Bob, get the fuck up, get the fuck up.
And they're scrambling at that point.
They're coming out of hibernation in their box.
Nice.
Okay.
I think Paul should help you move your fans to the living room then to make your wife
happy.
That's a horrible idea.
I have a bad shoulder.
Which one?
Which one now?
Remember, I had surgery on August 2nd, which affected my elk hunt, by the way.
Oh, really?
You weren't able to shoot your gun?
No, because...
Oh, I'm sorry.
You had to shoot left-handed.
He has to find where to shoot it first.
No, because when they shot the cow, it was a very steep incline and there was no way
they were going to get it to the top of the ridge.
So they had to harvest it on the steep incline and then we all had to carry it up the mountains.
Let's get a rope.
You corded it.
It's funny you say that because two different groups that were there, like not our group,
but they did shoot on the incline, on the ravine incline or whatever, the ridge, on
the ridge.
And yes, they had a big spool of like 3000 foot rope.
These guys are good.
Like they're locals and they know exactly where they are and they know exactly how to
get the animal up off the ridge and like to their truck.
Brilliant.
Because I tell you what, it was a pain in the ass.
So you're going to bring a big spool of twine next time?
Well, I mean, that's what we were talking about.
At the end of camp, we were like...
At the end of camp, we were like, how can...
400-pound test line?
Yeah, we were like, what do we need to do to kind of set up a rig for that?
Like acts like a girl.
I thought Jerry had brought his battery powered little vehicle.
His bike.
Yeah, his e-bike.
When he just like ride up the incline.
Yeah, I don't...
Was it on his back?
I don't think that would have worked.
It wasn't going to do that.
I don't think it would have worked.
But I tell you what, so they quartered it, right?
They quartered the animal and...
What does that mean?
Cut it in fours.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
And so...
I thought they took it out for a date or something.
So it's a leg.
It's a leg with basically a humongous turkey leg, right?
And this big leg with a ton of meat around the...
Probably 150 pounds, 200 pounds?
Well, I mean, each leg was probably about 80 pounds.
Yeah.
So, I mean, try carrying that.
Try carrying an 80 pound...
Why don't you just like hammer throw it up to the top?
Oh, that should be bad.
I don't know.
We didn't think about that.
Did you put it in a big plastic bag or did you just carry this freaking...
Bleeding carcass leg.
Yeah, so there are game bags, right?
They're called game bags and they're kind of like a cloth.
I don't know.
You've done some deer hunting.
You guys use game bags when you're deer hunting, but...
Because usually they're not that big, right?
The deer.
So you don't have to...
Does it leak?
All the ones I shoot are pretty big, yes.
Oh.
Yours are...
I'm so sorry.
Your hunting is nothing compared to me, fisherman.
You brought up the big fan.
I've got to get big deer.
I shoot moose.
I certainly didn't mean to offend.
Oh, yeah.
Your deers are small, right?
I don't know if they have those bags for deers.
Little miniature deer that you shoot.
The fawn.
Yeah, bandy.
Right.
So anyway, I don't know if you guys use game bags.
I mean, typically where you're shooting them, they're probably...
They're not the hard to transport in their entirety.
I mean, no, I'm serious.
Like deer...
Like usually when you're hunting deer in Texas, it's flat land.
It's...
I mean, you tell me.
Grand Canyon.
I've done deer hunting, but I don't think...
Well, your story sounds strenuous, Paul, so go ahead and continue.
Well, I mean...
But what do they do?
They had...
So the three, four thousand spool of the stuff, what do they do?
They wrap up...
Yeah, I guess they wrap it around the animal and they start...
Do they use a car or do they pull it up by hand?
It's a truck.
A winch.
No, it's a truck.
Like a winch, but I think bigger than a winch.
A launch?
A launch.
Yeah.
We have to Google that.
No, no.
No, I mean, and I was thinking to myself, how are they doing this?
So I guess there's somebody down on the ravine who's...
And then once they start pulling the animal up, they have a radio and they say, well,
hold on, it's caught up on some logs or trees or shit.
And they kind of move it around and pull it up and move it around and pull it up and...
Well, this is the whole body that they're...
The whole body.
They're pulling up at one time.
That's what I'm envisioning.
You're losing all the moose leather integrity.
Yeah.
If who gets the skin, you going to wear it?
Yeah.
No.
I'd like a...
You're going to wear it?
Yeah, like a nice elk skin?
Elk-high, soft pair of chaps.
Yeah, like that guy that went into the Capitol building.
Like a cape?
Had the horns.
He had the bear head.
That's me, Shaman.
Shaman Paul.
You should make an elk cape.
Yeah.
Root Paul.
That sounds great.
Yeah.
Get yourself a nice little pelt underlining.
It was an experience though.
I mean, because I call myself a elk hunter, but we had never shot anything.
We had never field dressed it.
I haven't gone deer hunting before.
So I mean, this was all a new experience for me.
But yeah, when they shot it and they had to cut it open and get the guts out of there.
I guess it makes a difference when you show up to the camp and you don't smell like gasoline.
Yes.
I think that did make a difference.
So did you guard the entire mountain last year?
Outside of the dead ones, did you see any live ones?
I did.
I saw one.
Excellent.
And that's the first time I have seen a live one.
Did you shoot it?
We were in the truck going up to the ridge and we're like, oh shit, there's one right
there.
And they're like, you do a drive by ran away.
No, you got one shot.
So you didn't jump out from the truck to stock it or?
Well, it was like super steep incline and we're going through the switchbacks to get
up to the top of the ridge.
And I mean, but we did.
We went up there as fast as we could.
And then they made me jump down there.
And they're like, I mean, we basically did.
It was like being like Lake Tahoe.
We see some tracks.
We think it's going that way and I'm like, I roll.
I'm like, guys, did you drop things?
It's gone.
It's like eight miles away from us by now.
Yeah.
Oh, spark.
Yeah.
And some leftover spaghetti.
I couldn't help rolling my eyes at times during the during the hunt.
They were like, gotta be quiet.
The tracks we think they're going that way.
I'm like, do the yolk is gone.
Like it's miles gone.
It's not going to hang around right behind me.
It's not going to move.
So as you were gutting and peeling out the guts, was it aromatic?
So I didn't.
I was taking I was taking pictures, but it was interesting because you know how like
there were like way too many cooks in the kitchen, right?
We're all huddled around the animal and they're all like, oh, yeah, you need to come here.
And the poor guy that shot it.
This was the bull, right?
The bull he shot on a flat mesa.
The cow was shot on a steep incline.
So when he shot the bull, we were all huddled around.
And that one we yeah, we opened it up.
We got the guts out of there and then we dragged it to the truck and then dropped it and got
it in the back of the.
There are a lot of missing parts.
There's many components of what you just said.
So walk us through shot it.
People crowded around.
Tell us how the chief too many chiefs and not enough Indians worked out when you people
are trying to cut it and take.
Well, I mean, so the guy that shot it.
OK, first of all, Jerry and I are in the RV still sleeping, right?
And this guy decided to go out there at the butt crack of dawn, you know, where it's freezing
cold.
Oh, evidently.
And then we get a swarm.
Yeah, it does.
No, that's true.
And so we get this text bull down.
Right.
And I'm like, holy shit, bull Durham.
Bulls down.
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no.
The bull down.
And so I, I, I told Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.
And he's like, what?
I go, you know, Blaine shot one and he was like, what?
And so we scramble.
And then the whole camp has to be involved, right, because, you know, it takes that many
guys.
Nothing else to do.
Well, no, it takes that many guys, especially when we shot the one on the ridge.
It took all of us to carry pieces of it up.
And I mean, it was crazy.
Yeah, you'd already had that experience because you got the cow first, cow first, and then
the bull.
So bulls on the flat thing.
I'm like, oh, thank God, this is going to be much easier.
What's a flat thing?
It's a mesa.
It's flat.
Flat land.
It wasn't an incline.
Right.
There's inclines on both sides and it's a mesa.
So there was a flat part on the top and then really steep on the sides.
Right.
And it's really long.
It's like a ridge.
Right.
So anyway, so yeah, so we, we, we rushed to get over there and you know, they kind of
converge from different spots because some guys were already hunting.
Some people came from the camp.
And so, yes, the guy that's waiting for everybody, he's needing tools and stuff.
Right.
And so, yeah, we're all cried around and they're like, okay, you need to start cutting
there.
And I wasn't saying anything because I have no idea how to do it.
I was like watching for the first time.
We were like, look at his nutsack.
It was, yeah, it was an experience.
Was it impressive?
Sure.
Is that what you, you, because you had mentioned something about, well, Jeff had said, well,
did you cut it open and climb inside because it was so cold?
And you said, well, funny enough, I did, you said you, you get your hands warm on its body
somewhere.
Yeah.
So later, okay, so that was.
Like a tauntaun, you know.
Well, that was from the cow.
So we brought all the stuff back to camp, all the cow meat that they cut off the animal
on the ridge and we were cleaning it all up and we were putting it in the cooler.
Right.
And it was so cold.
My hands were freaking frozen.
So I would put my hands in the meat bag, you know, where the meat was still warm from the
animal, right.
Which was had been shot an hour earlier and I was like, oh, yeah.
So yes, I did a Star Wars, a Star Wars version of keeping my hands warm by plunging it into
the animal.
And this was bare hands or were you gloves?
Yeah, bare hands.
Yeah.
We didn't have any gloves.
That was the other thing.
These guys are unprepared for shooting something.
Granted, it was the first time in 10 years, no, anybody had ever shot anything.
And we got two.
Right.
It's crazy.
Excellent.
Yeah, no, it was excellent.
So they were and their policy is if you shoot something, you share the meat with everybody.
And so they did the math and I'm apparently have 65 pounds of elk coming to me.
Wow.
That's nice.
Yeah, really nice.
You have freezer space for them.
So my wife went and bought a freezer while I was in Colorado.
The fuck I have a floor freezer now.
I do sit in my garage chest freezer.
Yeah, a chest freezer.
Excellent.
Yeah.
So what's the one that goes on the floor?
It's a yes, it goes on the floor.
It's a seven cubic feet.
Seven hundred cubic feet.
Seven.
I tell you what, it's a lot bigger than you think.
I was kind of like, I think I probably need a bigger one.
No.
So what would any big enough.
So what kind of meat will you get like elk meat?
Yeah, they make it.
They so they cut it into sausages, hamburger, steaks.
I was gonna say we get steaks, loins and roast.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
All the above the brisket, depending on how they, you know, cut it all up and and process
it.
Now, I don't have it yet.
It's in Salida, right?
It's in Salida, Colorado.
And then when they're done doing all that, I'm not exactly sure how they're what the
plan is in terms of getting it to each person.
But yeah, it's it.
I will eventually.
So anyway, yeah, it might be an expensive delivery.
That'll be worth it.
Yeah, it's definitely worth it.
Well, this is the crazy part.
The guy that shot the bull.
He's been waiting forever to shoot a bull, right?
Ten years.
And he's considering mounting it.
I was like, of course you're going to mount it, right?
I mean, if you're a big time hunter and you got to have it on your wall, I want you to
guess how much it costs to mount, to have them prepare it and get it all ready for a
mount.
Thirty dollars.
How big was it?
More than thirty dollars.
How big was the bull?
Big bull?
Ten, ten thousand, I'd say it was a five by four, which means it had five points on one
side, four points on the other, which is a good size.
I would say I'll say fifty five hundred.
Wow.
You both overbid.
Apparently it's not as I just like the price is right.
So I got I won.
You were 30 bucks.
You won with thirty dollars.
Yeah, it was eighteen hundred bucks.
And I was like, damn, that's not bad.
I thought it was expensive.
The hell?
Oh, I had no.
OK, I had no frame.
How much was your freezer?
The freezer was probably eight hundred.
No, no, no.
Two hundred and thirty bucks from Home Depot.
No, but to have the head prepared for mounting eighteen hundred bucks, I was like, yeah,
you can mount that like right there.
I don't know where I'm sure he has elk head.
I'm sure he's got a spot for it.
Well, really, the only thing part of that is the skin.
Everything underneath is just a sculpture.
Star right.
Right.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Peel it.
They peel it and they form it onto a sculpture.
Right.
Yeah, I would imagine it's just a skin.
So it's an art.
Yeah.
So on the on the bull, Jerry wanted the heart because I guess he watches like these meat
eater shows, these hunting shows and apparently the heart and there's apparently some good
recipes for eating the heart.
So he's like, I'll take the heart.
And so they cut it.
I'm watching them cut out all these organs and remove them.
And the heart was big.
It was a big heart.
I mean, it was the size of, you know, like two maybe two melons, like a bowling bowling
ball, a miss, a misshapen bowling.
Like a gallon.
No, no, no.
He he just froze it and he's taking he took it home with him.
So I don't I don't know what he's doing with the book.
That is very weird.
What's that?
I've had a heart.
I mean, I'm just trying to wrap my brain.
So I've never I didn't get opportunities.
My dad used to go hunting all the time, but I didn't get an opportunity to go hunting.
And so I've never really shot a deer.
My dad would bring home deer and he would hang it because we lived in Colorado.
And I remember he would come out the front door to be a fucking deer hanging out there
in the garage and be like, what the hell is this with with his fucking legs cut off?
Right.
Yeah.
Creepy looking.
Yeah.
I remember the hacksaw.
How creepy was that?
It was very creepy.
Well, watching watching them feel just the animal was was awesome.
I mean, I wasn't sure if I was going to be grossed out, if I was going to be like, you
know, feeling bad.
I wasn't sure.
I just wasn't sure.
But it was a nonissue at all.
Nonissue.
Here's the here's the dead animal.
They punched into it.
They slid open its stomach all the way to the right below the breastbone.
And then he started to be careful not to cut the the mess and Terry because you don't want
to you.
That's the correct thing.
You don't want to.
So there is a what they call it.
So there are several there are several layers of very, very thin, you know, this very thin
things that kind of compartmentalize what's going on inside the body.
Right.
And the guts are surrounded by this like thin cellophane.
It's called mess and Terry.
I don't know.
Well, Mr.
Is what they that's what holds your large and small intestines in there.
It's a stomach.
It's just like a sack.
Yeah.
It's a lining outside.
And so it is an art form to like cut the hide, separate the hide, get to the next layer and
get the knife underneath that next layer and slid it all the way up without puncturing
that without puncturing that that line.
Right.
That shit in there.
Your meat's ruined.
Yeah.
Well, actually, you know, no, no, no.
So it's not just shit.
It's also the acid.
It's also the acid from the stomach.
And I don't know.
You help me here.
Do you know how much experience you have field dressing deer?
Quite a bit.
What do you mean?
Yeah, you have quite a bit.
So walk us through it.
So you're trying to make sure that you don't expose.
Did you use a butt plug or no to.
Is there.
Yeah, you have to cut around the anus.
OK.
To release that.
You told me that when you walk, what's up with the butt plug?
The butt plug is that something you actually have in your back pocket in case you shoot
a deer?
Maybe you could have used for your hemorrhoid possibly, but you would stick it in there
and twist and pull.
And it pulls.
It keeps things in.
No, no, no.
It keeps it intact.
Yeah.
And you have to cut around the anus.
So the idea.
Free that.
So basically you're pulling out all the guts in one big pile.
So you cut it through the anus.
Yeah, exactly.
No, you don't pull it out through the anus.
Oh, OK.
I was going to say that's not at all what we did.
You release around the anus and you pull it through the gut area.
Until you pull everything out.
OK, so we didn't.
Well, I say we.
I didn't do much.
I didn't take pictures.
So they cut open the animal and split it.
Exactly.
And for the chest cavity.
And they use a saw to cut through the sternum and then they rip the rib cage open.
And then.
Was it like a battery powered saw?
No, it was a handsaw.
And then they we literally separated and got the guts separated from everything else within
its bag.
And then we tilted the animal up and let the guts fall out on the side.
We didn't pull anything out from the lower area.
Did you abandon the guts?
Did you leave it there?
Did you abandon the guts?
Oh, yeah.
You could go all that stuff there.
All the organs, all the organs and guts and intestines and birds and shit.
Or bears or whatever.
Coyotes, wolves, mouses, bats, mice, sea otters.
Could be sea otters.
Philosoraptors.
Yeah, whatever.
Anyway, it was an experience.
Arketoothis.
Congratulations.
Thank you, Arketoothis.
Yeah, it was it was fun.
It was cold, though, man.
I tell you what, on the final morning I got tired.
What you do is you go up there and you find a choice spot to sit in 19 degree weather
for hours and hours and hours.
Hold on.
What do you mean choice spot?
You mean you're going to sit on the ground?
No, I mean, there's a lot of hunters that go up there.
And you if you don't get there early enough, like if there's a meadow you want to be hunting,
you know, you've got to get there early and then you just kind of hunker down and find
a spot to sit there for five hours.
And if other hunters come by, you're like, I'm here of people out there.
So I mean, when you shoot, I mean, you probably have multiple people shooting at the same
ball.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, and you avoid that by respecting each other's hunting spots.
Right.
You're never going to put anybody in danger.
We are well camouflaged in the fluorescent orange.
Yes.
Well camouflaged.
But do you ask and go, why do we put camouflage on and wear fluorescent orange?
So that's what Shelley was saying.
She was like, oh, my God, it's so stupid.
Why even buy the camo if you're wearing the orange?
So the animals are colorblind.
So they don't see orange.
All they see is the pattern.
But there is no pattern.
I don't know.
How do you know that they're they're colorblind?
They asked him.
Yeah, one confirmation.
They did a test.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't know the shit.
And the scientists looked at the eyeballs and figured out that they're colorblind.
I don't know.
I don't have a lot of faith in a lot of science.
OK.
Did Fauci do it?
Fauci conducted by Fauci.
So you just think that they can see the orange and they're too stupid to, you know, to not
get shot by them?
Well, are do they really see?
I mean, did God give them the only the ability to see black and white?
I mean, what the hell?
I don't know, man.
I don't know what to tell you.
I think that's absolutely wrong.
I think that you to say that they're not colorblind.
Who are they to be the authority on whether an animal on God's planet can see frickin
color?
Oh, my gosh.
You're retarded.
No, seriously.
I mean, are you telling me that they can only see black and white?
Yes.
I don't know.
I think that's bullshit.
OK.
Come on.
Prove it.
Disprove it.
Rob, what do you what do you have to say about his doubt of whether or not they're colorblind
or not?
I mean, there could be other things than color.
I don't.
It's various shades of gray.
I don't know.
That's what a normal colorblind person like a human colorblind person, they see shades
of gray.
Yeah, it exists.
Right?
Yeah, it does.
What?
Shades of gray?
There's shades of blue color.
Colorblindness.
Colorblindness is the real thing.
But that's there we go.
All mammals are colorblind.
Hmm.
See?
But do see more than just black and white.
Colorblind doesn't mean you can't see color.
It only means that you can see certain types of color.
I don't think so.
And if you give colorblind people those corrective lenses, then they can see those colors.
It says many other mammals can see in color.
Recent studies have found this to be untrue.
Cats, dogs, bulls and many other mammals, including elk, can see in color.
Bulls.
But probably not orange, though.
But not orange.
I don't know.
I'm not arguing.
If you could not see red, Sean, then what would this look like to you?
A penis.
This lava lamp that you have here.
Well, it still looks that way, whether it's red or not.
That's true.
Rock shot.
What's that?
Rock shot.
So I don't, I don't, I just, you know, the law is you wear orange so the other hunters
can see you.
No, I get it.
I understand what you do.
I don't know if the animals can see it or not.
I imagine they can.
I mean, because they can see patterns, right?
That's what I mean.
So if they walk out and they look and they're like, holy shit.
That's a huge solid thing.
That's a weird, a weird pattern.
It says right there, deer, antelope, elk, sheep, goats, pigs only have the bluish light
cells and the green yellow light cells.
They only see the in these colors, purple, red, pink and orange don't make an appearance.
That is why the orange has become the safety color for hunters.
Well, there you go.
Excellent work.
There you go.
I don't know.
And that's the other interesting thing.
I have a hard time believing it.
When it's dark, like when we're early.
It's on the Internet.
So it's true.
Yeah.
But before we start hunting, like when it's when it's still dark and you're getting to
your spot.
So you have to have a red light to use your to find your way.
They don't because they can't see red light.
And I'm like, oh my God, I roll.
But whatever.
They go through all this like, you know, they go through all this stuff that you need to
do to increase your chances.
And I'm just, you know, I'm skeptical, skeptical about a lot of them.
You just stood in one spot for several hours sat on a phone set.
Yeah.
Did you on a thorn?
Have a drink foam, a foam.
Oh, no.
Do I bourbon?
No, I don't drink and hunt.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Shooting a three hundred win.
Why don't you go into your shoulder and tell us how that affected you or this hunt?
Well, I was carrying I was carrying 40 pounds of elk meat and then and they put the head
in a bag and I had to carry that up.
That was probably 40, 40 pounds.
I mean, it doesn't sound like a lot, but when you're on a steep incline carrying a bag with
40 pounds of meat in it and I couldn't carry it on my right shoulder, I had it on my left
shoulder and I was using both hands to like, you know, like Santa Claus.
That night.
That's what I was picturing.
Do you sleep well?
I did not.
There were two nights that my sounds like my shoulder was blowing up.
Yeah, because you're.
Yeah.
It doesn't like when you're sleeping either.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, it was yeah, it was sore.
It was really, really sore.
So yeah.
No.
And that's it's funny you say that, Sean, because it changed my whole perspective about
where you hunt.
Like I'm not going to hunt on a steep incline ravine, you know, a steep incline ridge and
shoot one because then what?
Now I got to freaking figure out how to.
And so I was talking to the locals.
You got to go to where they are.
Right.
And I was talking to the locals that were in our same campsite and they got one.
And I was like, you know, I was describing where we got the cow and all the kind of stuff.
And they're like, oh, we don't hunt the ridge anymore.
We don't do that.
And that's why we don't want to carry the relic up here.
You know, blah, blah, blah.
But they didn't sound like that really.
But I'm kind of making it sound like deliverance.
Right.
But I'm like a big square like a pig.
Anyway, so they don't do that anymore because they know if they shoot it.
From the they can't.
It's a lot of work.
It's going to be too hard.
Unless you have a winch.
A winch.
A launch.
But for you, you got two elk.
So it was a great thing.
Great thing.
Yeah.
It was well it was well worth the work.
Right.
Well worth it.
Looking back on it.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah.
Elk steak is not cheap.
Yeah.
You go someplace to buy it.
At Kroger.
It's very lean.
What about deer?
I mean, you shoot a lot of deer.
I don't I can't remember the last time I've had deer.
Venison.
You can get that in restaurants.
Venison.
Yeah.
It's not like well I mean I don't know.
It's just not you don't see it.
I don't see it a lot.
Well, no you don't.
Not in restaurants.
You don't see venison very often.
You have to go to particular restaurants that sell.
So how much venison?
I don't want venison.
But I mean how much do you have?
Ish.
I still have some in the freezer from last year.
Yeah.
I just took some out.
So like 10 pounds.
Like four hours ago probably.
So the mammoth.
I don't know.
Probably 20 pounds still.
So the mammoth deer that you shoot how many pounds do you get off of it?
Maybe about I'd say 60 to 80 pounds.
Oh wow.
Of meat.
Wow.
And then usually we'll make sausage.
So you're adding some stuff to that.
So you end up with quite a bit of meat in the freezer.
Right.
So I have a chest freezer as do you.
Right.
Where do you go?
Typically when you go hunting.
Well I have some friends that.
Like in Texas?
Yeah.
Yeah in Texas.
Like South Texas or just North Texas?
No.
Well East Texas.
A couple areas East Texas.
Okay.
It all depends on where the deer lease is right?
Right.
Not very far away.
Right.
That's deer lease.
Two, three, four hours away right?
Ish.
Any direction.
If that even.
Yeah.
Two hours.
That's nice.
And she has a big window that overlooks her backyard.
It's a decent sized yard.
It's lots of trees.
Does she shoot through the window?
She could.
And she would send me pictures of deer just hanging out in her backyard.
Yeah milling around.
A bull with the horns would be standing back there.
Oh she's a vegetarian.
No her husband is.
Oh okay.
Which.
Okay.
So I told her I was like shoot it.
That's good meat.
Right?
Yeah.
I was like they're hanging out and she'll be walking her dog and she'll send me pictures
like this deer is just walking down the neighborhood with her.
So I'm like that's good meat.
You should set up a blind.
I heard that deer are assholes.
You heard that what?
That deer are assholes.
No not that they have them.
That they are assholes.
Like they make a lot of noises and they shit everywhere and they go through your garbage.
It's like they become quite the nuisance.
They're not as cute as they are.
I don't know.
I'm not sure if they're into garbage.
No they don't.
Maybe they talk about bears.
Bears more bears.
I've never seen deer in garbage.
Maybe just chewing on shit in the yard.
Maybe destroying the yard.
They'll come and eat your bushes and all that sure.
Yeah if there's an overpopulation of them.
Yeah.
Of the bushes or the deer?
Both.
And when they encroach on populated areas.
Or we encroach on them.
That's true.
Any overpopulation of bushes is bad.
Not desirable.
Correct.
No.
You can send the wife to the manicurist or something.
Have that shaved down.
Yeah right in the backyard with a fence there and everything.
They jump right over the fence.
It's in her backyard.
Yeah that's like a game where you get shot.
Boom.
Where is this?
You probably can't divulge specifically.
It's up in Ohio.
Oh in Ohio.
So do you go multiple times a year Rob?
Yeah I try to go several times a year.
Just with a group of friends.
Or is it the same group?
Well I'll go with another friend of mine a few times.
I'll go myself quite a bit of the time actually.
I'd like to go on one of these hog hunts.
That'd be fun.
That would be fun.
And do that because those are dangerous animals for one thing.
But I know a lot of these lands will have these hog hunts because they're nuisances.
They kill your animals, your livestock, and they destroy your land.
They root and tear up shit.
And I know there's a plague of them here, at least in Texas.
I think they're probably Louisiana and some other things.
But I'd like to go deer.
Or not deer but hog hunting.
I'd like to go deer hunting.
Get some hams.
So I need to go get a rifle if I'm going to do deer hunting right?
Yeah you got to get a...
Al can tell you all about that.
You can do bow and arrow.
Right.
I got to do that.
That's the thing.
Do you have the license to be a bow and arrow?
Yes.
You have to have a hunting license.
A hunting license, yeah.
And I did all that.
You take a little hunting course.
You take the test.
You get your license and all that kind of stuff.
It's not that bad.
I had to do all that for my very first elk hunt.
I think next year you should use a bow.
A bow.
It's funny you say that because the next hunt that they're doing I think they are doing bow hunting.
And I'm like I'm out.
That's a whole other skill set.
Wow.
It's harder for one thing.
Yeah I'm out.
I'm out on that deal.
So I probably won't hunt elk for two years.
Well this is a crossbow.
No no no.
Bow bow.
Well you have 65 pounds.
It's probably going to take you two years to get through all that.
65 pounds of meat?
Yeah.
No I mean there's also a point system.
If you want to go to privileged areas you got to have enough points.
Which means you have to have been hunting for a while.
I don't have enough points.
They all do.
And they want to go to this other area where they you know they're going to do bow hunting.
So I'm like okay well.
That's crazy.
It's like a video game.
I'm not qualified.
Well we could plan another trip perhaps.
Yeah that'd be cool.
Different.
Yeah no I'd be on board with that.
Yeah I've not elk hunted before.
That's something I'd like to do.
I think you would really enjoy it because it's a huge difference.
Now you know this but the huge difference between you know having a feeder.
Yeah.
Right.
Having a feeder and having the deer come up to the feeder and you kind of you're kind of choosing which one's big enough or or whatever and shooting it versus going out into the wild staking out a spot and hoping that something you know free ranging comes by.
Right.
So it's totally a different experience I would imagine.
Do you ever watch that Netflix show called Meat Eater.
That's what my friend Jerry watches.
I've watched a few times and they go out and they go out to the middle of nowhere kind of probably what you did and he hunts all kinds of things.
And there is one where I don't know if it was elk.
It may have been elk but it was the same thing you know they sat there.
Hours.
And hours and the video is just them talking right.
You know talking about life or whatever the animal or whatever and then finally they'll be like yeah we didn't get anything for four days.
Right.
And then they've then someone finally sees one and they go chasing after it and you know trying to flank it and stuff like that.
Right.
Oh got away or could get it or whatever.
So it's the whole process and it's only a 30 minute show.
So you know they do this whole thing but it's interesting because they hunt different things and it's all the same challenge finding the animal.
Finding the animal.
And really it boils down to luck.
I mean you can put yourself in the general area where you know elk are right based on droppings based on tracks based on scat is what they call it right.
Elk scat.
And then you know so you know they're active in the area and then if you know enough about elk you know that you know during these months they're here during those months they're there.
And if it's cold if it's hot if it's you know I mean there's certain parameters that you can like put yourself in the right spot.
And then the rest of it is luck.
Them walking by.
Right.
You know I mean I mean the guy that got the bull.
And it's illegal or is it unprofessional or uncouth I don't know to have a drone.
You cannot have you cannot have drones.
Why not.
That's it's on on sportsman like hunting laws.
Hunting laws.
So what were you going to say about the.
Yes the guy that got the bull right so he's sitting in the meadow at the top of the mesa it's like eight o'clock in the morning and he just kind of sitting there and he looks up and here comes a bull walks out right in front of him.
You know.
And he's like you know shit you don't get the gun ready and trying to get down on his knee and the scope.
He's you know his heart was racing and so he his breath fogged up the scope and he was so close that the scope is set to like a hundred hundred plus yards.
So he looks through the scope and can't even see him because all he can see is brown.
So then he's having to adjust the scope.
I mean all all of this you know in nanoseconds panic.
Right.
And then of course he calms down he gets the scope backed out and then boom takes a shot and down goes the bull one shot.
I mean you know how unlikely that is.
So I was I was like joking for the rest of the time I was like yeah so yeah you shot that retarded that retarded elk that like you know didn't know where he was or what was happening or he was a special needs.
Yeah he was a special needs.
Probably someone's pet because he was used to humans.
Yeah right.
That was it.
Did he have three legs and one eye.
That was the joke I was making.
I was like oh you really worked hard for that one right.
You know I mean and again it's being in the right spot at the right time and and boom.
Yeah I couldn't I couldn't believe it.
It was beautiful.
Well I can't wait to to get an invite so I can go taste your meat.
Oh wow.
Yeah I've never had elk meat.
No no no.
So yeah no absolutely.
When it when it comes in when it when it comes in I will share with all of you.
I think they have elk hunting in New Mexico as well.
They do.
Yeah I have heard that.
And I think there's there's just like here right.
You you can.
It's like a like a deer lease or almost something like that right.
So there's elk and I don't know how you do it.
I've never looked into it so Paul you're going to have to coordinate all of it.
Okay.
I mean well if you're talking about ranches right ranches that have all sorts of stuff right with the high fences so they keep them in.
Of course they're giant ranches about 10,000 you know 10,000 acres or whatever.
Or they can be.
But this is just free range public land hunting.
So but yeah so yeah we we can definitely look into it.
I mean part of the challenge is the campsite.
Right.
You know I mean like like Jerry has an RV so we were very comfortable running off of generator and batteries.
We had heat.
We had a shower.
You know what I mean.
And the rest of the guys are setting up all these elaborate you know they sleep in a trailer that's not insulated right.
And they're freezing their asses off in these trailers with their with their back.
Did you come out every morning all refreshed with your coffee.
Oh yeah.
And I had a towel wrapped around my head towel wrapped around my head a robe on.
Yeah.
The slippers skin.
Yeah.
Yep.
I'm like Hefner.
I'm like hey.
No.
Yeah.
I made that joke so many times so many times.
What's that about you know just my camo thong.
Anyway so that's a big part of you know just making sure that you have all that planned out but they're so hardcore right.
comfortable in the RV and and they're like roughing it.
And you're watching the Titans game on your phone.
We totally did. That's what I'm saying. This camp had one bar for my phone. So we did.
We watched college football. We watched all the NFL games. I watched the Titans game on
Sunday night. We watched the World Series. On a phone? Oh, we were all crowded around
two little phones. Yes. We had red zone on one phone and the and the and the Cowboys
game on the other phone. And we're all crowded around in the tent watching these on these
little tiny phones. Our phones, yeah. It was so funny. That's never happened before in
a camp. It's always been radio silent. No coverage, no bars, no nothing. Yeah. What
was different this time? Well, how'd you get reception out there? We were in a camp site
that just managed to get slight coverage. Yeah. So it was a game changer because yeah, because
we were able to text and call and right. Yeah. Usually we have to drive 30 minutes to a ridge
where we know there's coverage, quickly get our phone calls in to our wives and stuff
and then turn around and go back, go back to camp. Not this time is we may go to this
camp every every time. I don't know. Right. Yeah. So you fell asleep with Shelly on the
phone every night. Yeah. Listen to you breathe. I love you. I love you. No, I love you more.
All right. Good night. Hang up. No, you hang up. No, you hang up. You know, I'm not hanging
out. Oh, my God. I can't believe you hung up. I had to call you back. Shit used to happen
to you. It was ridiculous. So stupid. Yeah. Yeah. We all went through it. We did. Embarrassingly.
So stupid. Anyway, so anyway, that's my that was my hunting trip. Well, it's good. I'd
like to experience that sometime. Even even if I don't have a gun or hunting, I'd still
like to go to what you guys do for like dinner partake. I mean, every night. You mean, what
would you do through the day? So you woke up, you took a freezing cold shit. I mean, you
took a shower, right? I showered probably three or four times during the week. No, no,
three. Three. Yeah. For a week. Yeah. I wear the same damn clothes all day all week. Just
about crazy. They kind of stand on their own now. Yeah, pretty much. So and then so you
guys had, you know, you had dinner and breakfast, breakfast and dinner and then a snack in between,
right? I mean, a typical day is if we plan to be out there at the butt crack of dawn,
you know, which means we wake up at five o'clock, five fifteen, I would, you know, pop a protein
bar. I would take a shit out in the really freezing cold tent out outside that they dug
a hole and put a toilet over. And, you know, and then we would get all of our camera stuff
on, hop in the truck, drive out there, freeze our asses off for four hours, come back for
lunch. You know what I mean? I mean, just whatever. I mean, it wasn't that was a that
was a typical hunting day. Yeah, but what do you guys have for dinner? I mean, did you
guys have hamburgers? Did you have steak? So you have elk? So there's one guy that that
does all the planning for the meals like and we all went to Wal-Mart the very first day
the day before hunting season opened and we bought a bunch of shit at Wal-Mart and he
planned all the meals and yeah, he cooked like a chuck wagon. He cooked every night
and he you know, he cooked steaks two nights. He cooked chicken one night. He we had it
was good. Oh yeah, we have brought one night. I mean, it's great. Everything tastes better.
Yeah, yeah. When you're hungry and tired, everything tastes outside. Absolutely. God,
I love it, man. Like sauerkraut. I haven't done stuff like that in so long. Yeah, it
was good. I mean, I just I need to go do that. So so so Rob, when you go out to the dearly's,
do they have a house? Do you tent? Do you like like how do you when you stay out there?
What are your accommodations? Well, I've done both. Okay, brought a tent and camped and
went hunting, stayed a couple nights. A couple other ones. There's there's a house that I
can go back to. Nice. Okay. But you're you're an outdoorsy guy. Like you're totally good
with doing the tent out in the open and you know, I don't mind camping. Yeah, I enjoy
it. Right. Yeah. I mean, it all depends on how cold it is too. Right. So yeah, I mean,
it doesn't get anywhere near as cold here as where you were. Right. It was probably
probably got down to 1819 overnight. I think at a certain point, I don't think it matters.
Right. It's just damn cold. Mm hmm. As long as you layer up, man. That's the key. I had.
Yeah, I had three layers on my legs, three layers on my upper body, two pairs of gloves.
And you're still cold. And my feet and fingers, man, if your feet and fingers are cold, you're
miserable. Yeah. So then finally, I started putting hand warmers in my boots and hand
warmers inside my gloves. And that helped tremendously. But damn, I mean, it's just
cold. Really, really cold. As a matter of fact, on the final day of hunting, I was like
I sat out there for I think two hours. And finally, I was hunting with a different guy.
And I just walked over to him and I said, You're gonna think I'm crazy, but I'm cold
and I don't want to do the same. I'd rather hike than hunt. I walked back to camp and
they're like, You what? I said, Yeah, I walked all the way back to camp. It took me over.
I don't know, an hour and a half to walk back to camp. And it was a long way. I don't know
how many miles it was. Well, how did you get there in the first place? Truck. OK, they
know no ATV or no wheeler. No, no, they dropped me off from the truck. And I was like, I mean,
you've got the battery heated socks. Well, they talked about that. I was like, Well,
you know what? If I'm going to do this again, I'm probably going to I'm going to make sure
I'm not cold. So whatever that that's got to be whatever that takes, whatever that takes,
I don't care. I need to do more research on it. But I mean, should I have I have 1200
gram 1200 gram boots, which is which is good. Good. It's really good. And I had two pairs
of really thick wool socks, cotton. I know that's where I messed up. I probably should
have just and I have wool socks. I just these were really thick cotton socks. And I'm like,
I got two or three pairs of them. I'm like, man, I'm fine. Even with 1200 gram boots,
I couldn't believe it. Anyway, so yeah, wool socks is a must because nothing gets through
that. Right. Right. Anyway, so you just got to make sure you have the right clothes. Otherwise,
it's not fun. So everything else, my camo is great. My everything else was to get to
buy new camo or did you just wash it? I so my camera never got never got gasoline on
it from the last. Oh, so it was just like your undergarment. Correct. Well, and some
of yes, some of the under underlay underlayment or whatever you call it. Yeah. But not the
camo itself. Thank God. But yeah, so anyway, it's about being prepared. Yeah, having the
right clothes. Yeah, I like it. I like to do it sometime. And again, I've never been
hunting Sean. You've never been hunting. So I'm all in. Let's try it. Well, we probably
need to first go buy a rifle. And you can't go hunting or you can share gun hunting. No.
Well, I mean, I guess you could. But I'll buy I'll buy a rifle. I want to I'm going
to get a good hunting. Well, I could actually I just go borrow my dad's common deer. One
of his right. I got plenty. Like I said, you know, schedule something before I get one.
I'd still go. Does it just like you want to go hunting once before you're does he still
go hunting? No, he hasn't gone hunting in a long time. And I don't think he would. He's
not much of a he's in his he's almost he's 80 now. I don't know if he'd enjoy going
hunting. That'd be awesome. Yeah. If your dad is hunting rifles, man, that's the way
to go. I don't know what he has. Yeah. He's got a lot. OK, perfect. He's got a 50 cal.
I don't know what the hell that is. I wouldn't hunt with that, though. But yeah, like blow
it in half. I think it's more of like a like a is it a black powder? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Which is that would be cool to use on an elk. That's what they open the hunting season with,
bow and black musket musket. Yeah. Black powder. Black powder. Well, you know what? This is
cool. I'm enjoyed the first half. This dude's like us. It's it's it's November 10. Yeah,
it's getting crazy. We're signing off. We'll see you guys in a second. We're going to go
try another bourbon. We're going to do an Irish whiskey. Is that what we're doing? Yes. A little
red. Fire. All right. At least Jeff. I'm Paul. Rob. All right. See you in a bit. Bye.
