1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,840 Canines are our passion. 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,160 They are our addiction. 3 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:19,200 They are our way of life right down to the very core and without them we would be lost. 4 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,840 The canines of this world really are something to behold. 5 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:28,680 They assist us at work, they accompany us at home, and they perform for us in the field. 6 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,200 No matter where we go, they are by our side. 7 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,880 Canines really are a ride or die, and for that we are grateful. 8 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,440 This podcast will showcase working canines of various breeds and disciplines as we search 9 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,040 for those canines and their handlers who are always striving to be the best at what they 10 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,560 do. 11 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,760 Those who are always grinding. 12 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,440 Those who are always pushing the limits. 13 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,560 Those who are always dogging. 14 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,680 Join us on our adventures as it is sure to be a wild ride. 15

00:02:50,660 --> 00:02:52,480 It's going to be an adventure. 62 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,880 We're here for everything. 63 00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:00,680 We're going to go over some different styles of hunting throughout this whole podcast. 64 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:06,440 Not this one in particular, but going forward, me and Bryce were brought together by it. 65 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,080 We become friends. 66 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:14,280 We're going to get into it on this podcast and we hope that you, you know, just carry 67 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:19,440 along, come along with us in the

laying down the groundwork 70 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:34,620 for this podcast and just how we, how we got started with this, you know, we have been 71 00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:36,000 doing this for a long time. 72 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,360 When I say doing this, I mean, you know, Bash and I hunting together, being buddies, being 73 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:46,000 brothers, like it's more than a friendship, you know, it's not a bromance. 74 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000 It's a brotherhood. 75 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000 I don't know. 76 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,280 It's like it's Bryce either wifey. 77 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,320 Oh my gosh. 78 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,320 That's what she calls you. 79 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,440 No, not to get on her. 80 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,400 But no guys, this has been fun. 81 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,600 So you know, the deep and lonely podcast, which I hope you guys have listened to in 82 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,240 the past was awesome. 83 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,240 It was amazing. 84 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:11,120 The amount of support and just feedback we got on that from you guys, the listeners was 85 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,920 amazing over at the Hanson XP podcast, but I wanted to do something different. 86 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:21,600 I wanted to get out of backing myself into a corner, only having competition, Coon hunting 87 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,940 to talk about. 88 00:04:22,940 --> 00:04:23,940 That's my passion. 89 00:04:23,940 --> 00:04:24,940 That's my love. 90 00:04:24,940 --> 00:04:30,240 But I really, really enjoy working dogs of all forms. 91 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,960 And you know, to do that, I felt like we needed, we just needed a little rebranding. 92 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,680 So little creative juices started flowing. 93 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,540 I started talking to my buddy, Basham, and you know, we got the idea of joining each 94 00:04:43,540 --> 00:04:45,820 other and doing the Semper dogging podcast. 95 00:04:45,820 --> 00:04:50,320 So Basham, before we get into the whole concept of Semper dogging and everything, why don't 96 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,440 you go back here and tell our listeners a little bit about yourself? 97 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,480 Give yourself a little bit of credibility because we know you don't have much. 98 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,080 No, not much at all. 99 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,880 But give them a little bit, give them some insights for those of you who don't know you, 100 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,200 who don't follow you on Facebook. 101 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,680 They've never drawn you in a hunt. 102 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,800 Who is Stephen Basham and why are you here? 103 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,580 Man, we could, we could have a few episodes on something like that. 104 00:05:12,580 --> 00:05:20,640 So basically, I got started coon hunting probably when I was like five or six years old. 105 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:26,840 My dad, which anybody that knows me knows, you know, wherever I am, my dad's typically 106 00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:29,400 not too far behind. 107 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,120 And so I got started about five or six. 108 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,380 I'd always go with my dad every weekend, every, every night that I could. 109 00:05:38,380 --> 00:05:41,180 And really it turned into an addiction. 110 00:05:41,180 --> 00:05:48,160 If you ask the wife, it's, it's not just, it's not just something that I do as a, as 111 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,160 a hobby. 112 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,600 It's, it's who I am. 113 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,600 It's embedded in me. 114 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,000 I was born with the dogs. 115 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,120 If you hear my family talk about it. 116 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:03,020 So there I was, you know, as a young kid, just following dad around and got different 117 00:06:03,020 --> 00:06:07,160 coon hounds throughout the, throughout my life, teenage years. 118 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,740 And I started competition hunting competitively. 119 00:06:10,740 --> 00:06:13,880 My dad was more of a pleasure on her. 120 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,580 He loved going to these back in the day, you know, a UKC hunt. 121 00:06:18,580 --> 00:06:20,080 It was an all day event. 122 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,480 I mean, we had drag races and water races and training contest. 123 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,920 For those that you don't know, the most fun event out of all of them was something called 124 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,860 the road cage. 125 00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:36,560 And you take this road cage and you put it in the center of a circle and you turn the 126 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:42,520 dog loose and the one that can knock it out of the circle, the fastest one, the road cage 127 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,440 contest, road cage contest. 128 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,720 And that was exciting. 129 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,100 So we had that, uh, then you had the hunt. 130 00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:53,320 So it was just a whole day event. 131 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,920 And so we used to go to those every weekend, me and my dad would, and then it just kept 132 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,160 evolving from there. 133 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,040 I took a liking to the competition side of it, going out and competing and training and 134 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:11,040 competing, um, kind of fast forwarding through all my teenage years, just to kind of make 135 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,600 this a little shorter. 136 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:19,760 Um, I joined the Marine Corps and left, um, the ability to be able to coon hunt. 137 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:26,140 I went out to California and lived my life out there, ended up going overseas quite a 138 00:07:26,140 --> 00:07:29,560 few times and, uh, came back. 139 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:37,880 I got out of the Marine Corps the first time somewhere around 2007, uh, came back to dad's 140 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,120 house, worked a little bit, went back into the Marine Corps. 141 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:47,480 Uh, I got stationed in North Carolina and that's where I finally picked up coon hunting 142 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:53,240 again and, uh, started coon hunting hot and heavy over there, uh, handling dogs for multiple 143 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,480 people and really competition hunting. 144 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:06,080 Deployed one time, came back and then the evolution of me as a houndsman began to grow 145 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,080 even more. 146 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:15,000 So backing up just a hair whenever I was younger, we had rabbit dogs and squirrel dogs and coon 147 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,240 dogs and I mean, anything that had a dog to do with it, we had obviously labs as a pet. 148 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:28,240 So everything that I've done from a kid was just dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs related. 149 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:35,140 Now going back to the present as far as in the Marine Corps, uh, the Marine Corps created 150 00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:39,400 a program called the IDD detector dog. 151 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:46,120 Basically what we did is we took Labrador retrievers that were in the field trial world. 152 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:55,600 So field champion bird dogs and we took them and we took the bird aspect away from it and 153 00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:05,600 we imprinted these dogs on, um, debt cord, ammonium nitrate, C4, just all your bomb making 154 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:12,960 materials that we were seeing in our area of operations overseas and we imprinted these 155 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,500 Labrador retrievers on it. 156 00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:23,060 So I went to a school in Southern Pines, North Carolina called K2 Solutions and they actually 157 00:09:23,060 --> 00:09:29,040 taught me how to train these handlers and I became the kennel master, second battalion, 158 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,640 eighth Marines. 159 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:40,200 And so that's kind of where the evolution of me, um, as a dog man, um, really kind of 160 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:48,240 took a big different out of the hunting world into the service world, but for me it's just 161 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:56,040 man, everything that embodies me, if you know me as a person, I'm just, dogs are my thing. 162 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,360 Um, I like dogs more than I do people. 163 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:04,640 I mean, it's just, I think most of us that are in this world would say that there's just 164 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:10,200 a common bond between a man and his best friend and that's a dog. 165 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,360 And so on this podcast guys, that's what it's all about. 166 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:20,140 I mean, I'm getting goosebumps sitting here talking about it just because if you wholeheartedly 167 00:10:20,140 --> 00:10:26,920 live it like we do, you understand, um, the validity of what we're talking about. 168 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:33,520 And that is that a dog brings something out in you that people just can't, uh, when you're 169 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,640 having a bad day, they're there no matter what, when you're having a good day, they're 170 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,520 there to share in it. 171 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,320 And just something about a dog just brings a person up. 172 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,040 And that's just been me my whole life. 173 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:51,120 Um, I've competition hunted, I've competed on the top level, I've competed on the lower 174 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:57,520 level, I've had good times at competition hunts and who I've had the bad times, but 175 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,160 I think what keeps me going back is just the love of the dogs. 176 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,920 Um, taking something that is nothing and making it something. 177 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:11,080 And so, um, I guess in a nutshell, that's kind of my story there, Bryce. 178 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:18,160 Yeah, man, you know, I've heard that story a hundred times and every time I still enjoy 179 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,480 hearing it because you can just hear the passion in it. 180 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,480 I mean, that's what you do. 181 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,120 And it's the same for me, you know, it's a little bit different for me. 182 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,400 I'll give you guys a little bit of background on myself here. 183 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,120 If you guys listen to the Simper or the Deep in the Lonely podcast, you've heard it before, 184 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,960 but you know, we're really hoping that we've got some new listeners today. 185 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,200 So just bear with us and give us a chance on this podcast. 186 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:43,080 Um, you know, it's new for both of us, but it's going to be good. 187 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:50,760 I think it's all me and you both are after is just a chance, a chance to show that the 188 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,680 passion that we have and just follow us and on our endeavors. 189 00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:58,880 Because it's not for those of you that aren't into coon hunting, that's not what this podcast 190 00:11:58,880 --> 00:11:59,880 is about. 191 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:01,440 This is not a coon hunting podcast. 192 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:06,200 Well, you know, during this podcast, we're going to go through every walk of life that 193 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,640 a dog does all the way down to just the pets in the house. 194 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,000 Uh, you know, we're going to talk to different people and that's what we hope that you guys 195 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,520 join with us and follow along because it's truly a passion for sure. 196 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:25,680 So you know, a little bit about myself, I grew up, uh, born in North Carolina, raised 197 00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:30,200 here in Indiana, but I always had family down in North Carolina at my dad's side and we 198 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:35,140 would go down there in the winter times and we'd go deer hunting with my granddaddy and 199 00:12:35,140 --> 00:12:38,520 you know, deer hunting down there in North Carolina that we did wasn't like the stands 200 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,820 still hunting that we do here in Indiana. 201 00:12:40,820 --> 00:12:46,580 You know, it's running deer dogs down there and that those are some of my fondest memories 202 00:12:46,580 --> 00:12:53,160 as a kid is going down there and running those deer hounds with my granddaddy and my dad. 203 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,000 I mean, it was just, it was an amazing time. 204 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:03,160 And so that's kind of probably where my love for dogs started was running those deer hounds 205 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,760 down there in North Carolina. 206 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:12,560 And when I only got to do that in the winter time in December that, you know, once a year 207 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:14,400 we couldn't do that here in Indiana. 208 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:21,900 So you know, most of my early childhood career or childhood, I didn't have a hunting dog. 209 00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:29,080 We always had house dogs, um, had yellow labs and boxers and, uh, we had a miniature pincher. 210 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,680 We had all kinds of different dogs, but no hunting dogs. 211 00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:37,920 Fast forward to college and I've got a buddy that I'm taking some classes with and he's 212 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,880 like, Hey man, uh, you want to go coon hunting this weekend? 213 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,640 And I was like, I guess, I mean, I like to hunt. 214 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,040 I'm a big deer hunter, but I mean, I guess, I don't know what is coon hunting really like 215 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,040 he's like with the dogs. 216 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,360 I was like, well, if it's got a dog and we can hunt it like, yeah, I'm in, I'll try it. 217 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,040 You know, and now my buddy was quitting clow. 218 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,080 I got to give him a little shout out cause he's the one who started this whole thing. 219 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:06,440 And so we went out, we had a black mouth cur, a one eyed Kate is her name for obvious reasons. 220 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,600 She's only got one eye, but that little gyp man, she, she started something for me that 221 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,240 will last until the day that I die. 222 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,020 We went coon hunting that night. 223 00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:21,180 We treat several coons and then we went squirrel hunt the next morning, me, him and his dad. 224 00:14:21,180 --> 00:14:25,080 And we treated three men, limited squirrels with the same dog. 225 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,120 And it absolutely blew my mind that a dog was able to do that. 226 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,920 Like just be so versatile. 227 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,840 And she lived in the house on top of that. 228 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,400 You know, when we got done hunting, she lived in the house with them. 229 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,400 So she was your best friend during the day. 230 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,840 She'd go out with you, coon hunt at night, wake up in the morning, squirrel hunt. 231 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,000 Like she just knew, she knew what time it was based on the time of day. 232 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,200 And that really left lasting impression on me. 233 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:53,480 And from that moment I was hooked, um, went out, got myself a coon dog, found him on Craigslist, 234 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,600 just a registered or a gray dog. 235 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,920 Wasn't even registered, started pleasure hunting him a little bit. 236 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,860 Um, really enjoyed it. 237 00:15:00,860 --> 00:15:04,660 Then I found out there was competitions and I'm a competitive person by nature. 238 00:15:04,660 --> 00:15:09,820 So decide, all right, this dog that I have now, he's probably not good for the good enough 239 00:15:09,820 --> 00:15:11,280 for these competitions. 240 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,960 Went out and found a dog that I thought was. 241 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:20,520 Lo and behold now she, she wasn't, you know, um, but it was fun. 242 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:27,560 And through the trial and error in meeting different people, I have evolved as a houndsman 243 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,600 mainly in the coon hound world. 244 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,400 But like, as Basham said earlier, I've met a million people through dogs. 245 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:42,920 I met Basham through dogs and you know, now I'm very, the last five years I've went down 246 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,840 to Virginia to go bear hunting with a good buddy of ours, Heath Hyatt, go down there 247 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,240 and run those bear dogs. 248 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:53,960 Um, recently I've gotten into some, uh, doing some squirrel hunting up North with a buddy 249 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,960 and his cur dogs been doing quite a bit of that here recently. 250 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,320 Uh, got into coyote hunting down in Kentucky. 251 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,520 Been doing that, you know, though Dalton, yeah, Dalton Hillard, you know, um, watching 252 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:10,360 his scent hounds and his sight hounds work, which the sight hounds, I'd never been around 253 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,840 until about two months ago. 254 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,120 And I've got a new found passion for these dogs. 255 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,920 I don't, I don't, it's an appreciation and it's a passion. 256 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,680 Like they are freaking awesome. 257 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:20,680 They're fast. 258 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:21,680 They're cool, man. 259 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,680 Like it's great. 260 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:23,680 And we've got a story. 261 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,960 We have a podcast for you on that. 262 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:31,720 Um, you know, covering those types of things, but these coon hounds have opened the doors 263 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:37,120 to so many different types of hound sports and things that I never knew were possible. 264 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,040 I didn't know they were out there. 265 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,920 And you know, I've been doing this for nine years now. 266 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,360 I got into the coon hound when I was 20 years old. 267 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,680 I'm 29 and it's been the best nine years of my life. 268 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,520 Honestly, I can say that, you know, I've met my, my fiance, my future wife, we're getting 269 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:50,700 married in August. 270 00:16:50,700 --> 00:16:52,320 I met her through coon hounds. 271 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,920 I met her through Basham and coon hounds, you know, you know, you know, you know, you 272 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,000 were right there with me the day that I met her. 273 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,480 And that's a whole nother story. 274 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,480 It is. 275 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,480 It is. 276 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,560 But it's just the bond that you and I have as a, as brothers and these dogs that it's 277 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,560 brought to us. 278 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,480 Like you were hype man at that point in time. 279 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:12,480 Absolutely. 280 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,040 You were doing your thing and I was just there to be your equipment manager. 281 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,240 But it's worked out, you know, and those are the kinds of stories and passions we want 282 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,680 to share with you guys. 283 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:29,360 You know, we've got several different disciplines of people lined up on this podcast for you, 284 00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:35,280 for you guys to learn with us to grow and evolve as hounds, men and women with us, you 285 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:42,520 know, um, the, the concept of Semper dogging, I'm going to let Basham turn, I'm going to 286 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:43,520 turn over to Basham. 287 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,400 I'm going to let him explain it to you guys because this is really his brain child, but 288 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,960 it's something that I have believed in and supported since he told me about it. 289 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:58,760 That he has guys that he has, he's, he was actually before he ever decided to come on 290 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:06,740 to join me in the podcast, he, he really pushed, um, saying that he thought it could be bigger. 291 00:18:06,740 --> 00:18:07,960 He thought it could be better. 292 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,280 And um, so here we are now. 293 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,920 So kind of where it all started Semper dogging. 294 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:24,280 Um, two, um, I'm actually getting cold chills thinking about it just because it means that 295 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,560 much to me. 296 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:34,800 Um, so Semper dogging, um, I obviously is, you know, as anybody knows, I hunt probably 297 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:41,960 as hard as just about anybody or I did, I've kind of taken a break for a little bit as 298 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,760 this podcast is aired, I'm doing a lot of working right now, but Semper dogging, what 299 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,160 does it mean? 300 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:56,000 So I was kind of going along and I had been working as an electrician for a while and 301 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,580 a bigger company came and bought my company out and they kind of shut us down. 302 00:19:01,580 --> 00:19:09,600 And at that point in time I was hunting quite a bit and I had had many people ask me, Hey, 303 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,340 what would you charge to hunt a dog for a month for me? 304 00:19:14,340 --> 00:19:20,200 And so I kind of gave them a figure and I started hunting and as I started hunting, 305 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,320 I was like, man, I like this. 306 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,960 Maybe I could just do this for a while, you know, as my main source income. 307 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,240 So I started hunting pretty hard, you know, six days a week I'd work. 308 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:38,520 I mean, I'd hunt from, you know, nine o'clock at night to four or five o'clock in the morning, 309 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,200 about five, six nights a week, you know. 310 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,760 So I started hunting for the public and all of a sudden I was like, you know what? 311 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:53,000 I think this would be a good opportunity to kind of start my own brand, start my own, 312 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:59,280 you know, not just kennel club, but my own brand of, you know, training dogs and something 313 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,120 that meant something to me. 314 00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:08,240 So I sat down and I came up with a million, anybody that's ever named a company, who you 315 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:18,280 go through a million different ideas, you know, dog 101, coon hunting extreme, you know, 316 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:25,800 like I came up with some of the dumbest names that you would ever hear. 317 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:31,120 And then all of a sudden I was sitting down one day and I thought, what means something 318 00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:32,120 to me? 319 00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:35,760 Because if, you know, it's kind of like, if you've met me, you know that I've got tattoos 320 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:40,160 and I don't ever get one unless it means something to me. 321 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:46,120 And here I was, I was starting a new endeavor and I was like, what means something to me? 322 00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:50,320 And the first thing that popped in my head was Semper Fidelis. 323 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:56,260 And anybody that doesn't know Semper Fidelis, Marine Corps model, it means always faithful. 324 00:20:56,260 --> 00:21:03,520 And I broke it down and I said, okay, so Semper is always and Fidelis is faithful. 325 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:09,720 Well, if I'm always coon hunting, then let's do Semper. 326 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,680 And I didn't really have another word for it at first. 327 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:19,600 I said Semper coon hunting Semper hunting Semper. 328 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,000 Treen Walker coon hounds Semper. 329 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,520 And I just kept going through and then all of a sudden I was like, well, I'm from Kentucky. 330 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,200 I'm a little redneck. 331 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,800 Let's just use a redneck term. 332 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,720 Semper dogging and it's stuck. 333 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,720 It's stuck. 334 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,600 And from that point forward, I kind of started off slow. 335 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:50,320 I started a dogging Tuesday, which we are going to bring back dogging Tuesdays. 336 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,680 Absolutely. 337 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,840 So you guys can join us over on our Facebook page, the Semper dogging

00:22:14,280 We'll let you know the times, you know, prior to that. 343 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:21,080 But after after we do those dogging Tuesdays, the subsequent weeks, the second and fourth 344 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,240 will be when this podcast comes out of the month. 345 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:29,560 So first first Tuesday of the month, dogging Tuesday on Facebook live at our Facebook group. 346 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:35,360 And second week of the month, we're going to have the podcast coming out third week, 347 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:36,960 dogging Tuesday, fourth week podcast. 348 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,880 So that's going to be a little bit of the format of this, but Basham, go ahead and keep 349 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:42,880 going with the Semper dogging. 350 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:43,880 I just want to interject there. 351 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:44,880 Oh, no problem, buddy. 352 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,040 So yeah, that's where it all started was the dogging Tuesdays. 353 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,560 And man, I got good feedback on it. 354 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,560 You know, everybody liked just joining in. 355 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:58,600 And what I liked about it was it was it was live and it was raw. 356 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:05,800 And Bryce, I'll go kind of into my pushback when he first brought it to me about doing 357 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,600 a podcast. 358 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:12,840 One thing that I always said on my dogging Tuesdays was, hey, guys, this is not recorded. 359 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,480 This is not edited. 360 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:15,660 This is raw. 361 00:23:15,660 --> 00:23:16,660 It's right at you. 362 00:23:16,660 --> 00:23:17,660 Here we are. 363 00:23:17,660 --> 00:23:18,660 Let's talk about it. 364 00:23:18,660 --> 00:23:21,100 And then now here I am doing a podcast. 365 00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:23,300 So it kind of evolved. 366 00:23:23,300 --> 00:23:27,080 But Bryce would always say, man, I think I think you got something there. 367 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,560 I really would like to see you push forward, push forward. 368 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:38,080 And lo and behold, I think things happen in your life for a reason. 369 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:46,920 And some unfortunate incidences happened to me that caused me to kind of step away from 370 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,800 competition hunting. 371 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:58,880 And I believe whenever I stepped away, I found my passion again in that it's not about competing. 372 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,720 It's about the dog. 373 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:01,720 I found. 374 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,620 Oh, well, I've got two in particular. 375 00:24:05,620 --> 00:24:11,680 But there's one dog that kind of hits a spot between me and Bryce. 376 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:20,840 It's the dog that just really brought me and him together more than friends, but more like 377 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,960 brothers riding down the road. 378 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,860 And that's Duncan hit the spot. 379 00:24:24,860 --> 00:24:29,640 And he is owned by Tiffany and Jeffrey Davis of Mississippi. 380 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,480 They sent him back to me. 381 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,080 He wasn't he wasn't doing exactly the way he was when I had him up here. 382 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:42,280 And I won seven that the UKC World and wanted autumn oaks and doubled up his super stakes 383 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,760 and as all as a one year old. 384 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:50,160 And so I told Jeffrey, I said, you know, after my unfortunate incidences, I told Jeffrey 385 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:57,600 that this winter I just wanted to just me and spot go back to the way it was 13, 14 386 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,500 years old, sneaking out of the house, putting a five gallon bucket next to the window so 387 00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:06,120 that I could get out of the window in the middle of the night after I heard dad starting 388 00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:07,720 to snore. 389 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:13,120 And then I'd sneak back in at 530 in the morning and act like I was asleep so that they could 390 00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:18,200 wake me up to go to school the next morning and then get kicked out of school for sleeping. 391 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,880 So that's that's kind of where it all evolved from. 392 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:28,160 And then Bryce called me one day and he said, well, actually, I called him and I said, hey, 393 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,160 man, I need help. 394 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,200 He said, what do you got? 395 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:36,080 I said, well, I've got two dogs that need to be hunted at Ripley, Tennessee, and I'm 396 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,080 only one man. 397 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,280 You think you can help me? 398 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,000 And he said, yep. 399 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,040 He said, I'll handle one for you. 400 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,040 He said, there's something that I've been wanting to talk to you about anyways. 401 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:55,000 And so he threw the idea of turning the Deep and Lonely podcast into Semper dogging. 402 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000 And that's kind of where we are. 403 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,640 That's kind of where Semper dogging came from, always faithful to always dogging. 404 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:08,000 I believe both traits embody what we're about here at Semper dogging. 405 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,760 We're always faithful to always dogging. 406 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,360 Yeah, absolutely, guys. 407 00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:19,160 And you know, Basham and I, we've run up and down these roads together for years now. 408 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,840 It's when we, I don't know, when we chase these dogs, do all these hunts, we explore 409 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,360 new territories, we go to different states together. 410 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:30,800 I mean, Arkansas, you want to go back to Arkansas, but yeah, we can go back to Arkansas. 411 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:31,800 Yeah. 412 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:32,800 I mean, that was okay. 413 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:33,960 We, I mean, we've been to Arkansas. 414 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,240 We've been to Mississippi. 415 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:42,920 We've been to Virginia, just all over the place, anywhere, Southern, Southeastern. 416 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:43,920 We've been there. 417 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,320 You know, we ride down the road all the time. 418 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,320 Bastam's always driving. 419 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,840 I'm usually sleeping. 420 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:55,600 But when I'm awake, we have really good conversation, you know, just about life. 421 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,880 And I thought that, you know, that on that trip that he mentioned over there to Ripley, 422 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,040 Tennessee, this would be a good chance to pitch it. 423 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,680 Like he's got the idea. 424 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,000 He's got, he's got the knowledge. 425 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,320 I already had a podcast platform with Deep and Lonely. 426 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,120 I was wanting to do something a little different. 427 00:27:14,120 --> 00:27:15,680 Let's marry the two together. 428 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:22,200 You know, why not jump into this with somebody who I've done everything else with, you know, 429 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,280 what's different about this? 430 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,720 You know, great idea, good platform. 431 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:28,720 Let's see what we can do with it. 432 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:29,720 And it might flop. 433 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:30,840 I don't think it will. 434 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:31,960 You know what, though? 435 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:38,440 And you know, I've as this has evolved and obviously people in your circle know about 436 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:39,440 it. 437 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,440 People in my circle know about it. 438 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,920 And, you know, you'll get those people that'll say, hey, this ain't going to work or, you 439 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:50,560 know, starting an endeavor like this with someone so close to you. 440 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:55,400 It's going to be, it's going to be hard to develop it into something. 441 00:27:55,400 --> 00:28:00,840 And here's what I've told every single person that I've talked to, even if all this ever 442 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:08,080 ends up being is two buddies sharing stories on a podcast. 443 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,120 I'm fine with that. 444 00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:10,120 Me too. 445 00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:11,120 Because guess what? 446 00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:12,560 We'll be able to go back and listen to them. 447 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,960 You know, it's a recording session. 448 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:15,960 Yep. 449 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:16,960 It's going to be good. 450 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,320 But, you know, just to give you guys a little bit more about the format of this show. 451 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,600 So we already mentioned the first and third Tuesdays of the month are going to be dog 452 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,020 and Tuesdays on Facebook. 453 00:28:26,020 --> 00:28:31,440 The second and fourth Fridays of the month are going to be when the podcast releases. 454 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,680 This podcast is not going to be about just coon hunting. 455 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,140 It's not just scroll hunting. 456 00:28:36,140 --> 00:28:37,620 It's not just agility dogs. 457 00:28:37,620 --> 00:28:38,840 It's not just bomb dogs. 458 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,160 It's not just police dogs. 459 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:45,440 It's not just mountain lion dogs, coyote dogs, rabbit dogs, whatever bird dogs. 460 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,220 It's not any of those in particular. 461 00:28:47,220 --> 00:28:53,360 It's about that wiener dog that you have laying on the couch or that little toy miniature 462 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:59,120 chihuahua that follows you to bed every morning or sits outside the bathroom door waiting 463 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,320 for you to get done, you know, taking your shower. 464 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:09,420 This podcast is going to embody dogs in general of all kinds. 465 00:29:09,420 --> 00:29:13,220 And we are going to explore those. 466 00:29:13,220 --> 00:29:17,640 We're going to hopefully learn more about them and teach you guys a little something 467 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:22,120 along the way, not necessarily from us, but for the people who we have as guests on this 468 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,560 show who are experts in that field or who are passionate about what they do. 469 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,160 You know, not everybody we talk to is going to be an expert, but they're going to have 470 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,960 passion just like us. 471 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:31,960 Yes. 472 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:32,960 And I think passion goes a long way. 473 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,000 I think passion goes further than knowledge and a lot of avenues. 474 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,040 I think passion will get you to knowledge. 475 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,040 I do. 476 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:45,680 So, you know, we've already got guests lined up who we've already pre-recorded with before 477 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:46,680 this come out. 478 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,400 We've got Lane Denny going to be coming to you. 479 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,320 Competition Coon Hunting. 480 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,060 We've got Heath Hyatt coming to you. 481 00:29:53,060 --> 00:29:56,320 Bear Hunter, big time bear hunter down in Virginia. 482 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,440 Dalton Hillard. 483 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,040 We've already recorded with him. 484 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,040 Coyote. 485 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:05,680 Coyotes running greyhounds, running walker hounds, trig hounds, all different kinds of 486 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:11,800 dogs to marry all these different disciplines together to complete one goal, which is to 487 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:12,800 hunt a coyote. 488 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,080 To me, that's a work of art. 489 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,080 It's beautiful. 490 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,080 Oh, it definitely is. 491 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,280 It takes a lot of time and a lot of passion to do anything with a dog. 492 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,680 You know, I talk to guys all the time and I tell them about the endeavor that I'm on 493 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:24,760 in there. 494 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:29,760 You know, even in my work of being an electrician, they're like, oh man, I've got this dog at 495 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:34,760 the house and I'd really like to teach it obedience training and you know, this, that 496 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:40,520 and the other and I tell them, I say the hardest thing is not to train the dog. 497 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:46,660 It's to train the human because the dog is consistent in everything it does. 498 00:30:46,660 --> 00:30:49,680 The human is not right. 499 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,840 So you know, we've got guests who we have not recorded with yet, but have agreed to 500 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:54,840 come on here and talk to us. 501 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,400 We've got Calvin Redhouse with res hounds out there in Arizona. 502 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:04,380 He you know, former, um, who was in the Marines, I believe he was, uh, but now he's out there 503 00:31:04,380 --> 00:31:06,720 running mountain lions, bobcats, bears. 504 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,920 Uh, we've got Hannah falling said she's going to come on. 505 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,280 She's a coon hunter. 506 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,800 She's running a, is it American bulldog on fly ball? 507 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:16,800 Don't hold us to that. 508 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,440 Cause I know there is a certain term. 509 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,760 Yeah, there's a certain term and they get kind of, uh, been out of shape if you don't 510 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:24,760 use the right term. 511 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,680 Yes, but it's really cool what she's doing. 512 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:27,760 I watched her on Facebook. 513 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,520 I've watched all the steps where she's trained this dog piston, I think is his name. 514 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,760 She's a show dog and now she's running him in this event called fly ball. 515 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:36,760 Yes. 516 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,120 And then do it and then doing her, uh, pet grooming. 517 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,120 Yeah, absolutely. 518 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,000 So she's already agreed to come on here. 519 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,560 So guys, we've got all these different types of people who we've already recorded with. 520 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:50,240 We've already got promises to come in here and record with us on that are all in different 521 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:57,480 aspects, but it's not just going to be a mumble jumble every other week of something different. 522 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:02,200 We are going to hopefully, and this is just a plan we're thinking out loud here, spend 523 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:08,520 a few weeks talking about coyotes with those, the coyote hounds with those in that field 524 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:13,720 from east, the Eastern border all the way to the, that goes, the guys out West talking 525 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:18,440 about the different types of hunting, going to bear hunting, the guys from the North all 526 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:23,100 the way down from the guys to the South, the Coon hunters from your local behind the barn 527 00:32:23,100 --> 00:32:31,460 pleasure hunter to the elite handlers of right now, spend weeks, a few weeks on each of those 528 00:32:31,460 --> 00:32:37,060 things to get a better dive, better learning and understanding in each of those before 529 00:32:37,060 --> 00:32:38,680 we jump around to the next thing. 530 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,640 Um, I don't want it to be jumping around all the time. 531 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:42,880 Yeah, I guess confusing. 532 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,160 Oh, it does. 533 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,800 What's what's next? 534 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:53,000 So basically what we're going to try to do here guys is obviously bear hunting with dogs 535 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,320 happens at a certain time of year. 536 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,320 Yep. 537 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,720 So there's certain, there's certain aspects that are only going to happen certain times 538 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,320 of the year, like bear hunting and different things like that. 539 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,320 Obviously we're blessed as Coon hunters. 540 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,920 We can do it anytime we want. 541 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:10,920 Here in Indiana, at least. 542 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,400 Yeah, here in Indiana. 543 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:18,900 So we're going to spend, um, and this will be something we come out with a little later 544 00:33:18,900 --> 00:33:22,560 down the road as far as an actual schedule. 545 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,800 It's something that, uh, me and Bryce are kind of fly by our seats. 546 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,320 So we're kind of thinking out loud on the podcast. 547 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:37,480 So if you listen to our podcast and you join us every week, Tuesday's dog and Tuesday, 548 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:42,000 the following Friday, the podcast will release the following Tuesday. 549 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:48,000 If you follow along with us, you will see the evolution of Semper dogging. 550 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:54,800 Cause we are not two guys that really say, huh, six months from now we want to do this. 551 00:33:54,800 --> 00:34:01,160 You're going to see us sitting here, you know, moving our gums, talking, and all of a sudden 552 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:02,440 it's going to be born. 553 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,320 So follow along with us, follow along with the adventure. 554 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:07,680 It's not just me and Bryce. 555 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,800 No, that's what we want you guys to understand. 556 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,040 Semper dogging is not Bryce Matthews and Steven Basham. 557 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,040 It is every dog man and every dog woman out there. 558 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,120 This is what we all embody. 559 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,120 Absolutely. 560 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,920 So I think it's going to be fun. 561 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,800 Do you want to go into a little bit of our, our overall goals, missions, and maybe some 562 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,760 future plans here at the podcast, just to plant the seed of where we have big visions. 563 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:37,120 If any of you guys have ever talked to me or bash them, we are dreamers, our wives call 564 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:42,000 us crazy, but we think big, big. 565 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,000 Where do you think it can go? 566 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,360 What do you think? 567 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,800 Just tell our listeners, our overall goal, mission, and maybe some future plans. 568 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,920 So here we go. 569 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:57,040 Me and Bryce were driving down the road, Ripley, Tennessee, and Bryce looked over at me and 570 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:02,680 he goes, man, how far do you think Semper dogging can really go if we do this? 571 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:07,280 And I said, bud, the sky's the limit. 572 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:14,600 I said, if you really want my honest opinion, I think it's as far as we push it to go. 573 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,720 You look at PetSmart, you look at anywhere. 574 00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:24,920 My number one, my number one example to Bryce was Mossy Oak. 575 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:31,000 I said, if you go back and look at the history of Mossy Oak, they started out as just stickers. 576 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,120 They started out as just selling shirts. 577 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,880 Now what are they doing? 578 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,440 They're making tree stands. 579 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,680 They're making guns, you know, putting rats on guns. 580 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,800 They're, they're multimillion dollar company. 581 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:50,960 I'm not saying me and Bryce Matthews are going to be a multimillion dollar owners, but I 582 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:58,280 think making our own dog food, you know, making our own dog houses, you know, having stuff. 583 00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,280 Who knows? 584 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,000 Who knows where this is going to go? 585 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:08,800 But at the very worst, it's two buddies on a podcast sharing adventures with other dogmen, 586 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,880 other dog women. 587 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:19,480 My kids will forever be able, when I go, they'll be forever be able to hear these recordings. 588 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,760 They'll be able to go back and say, that's my dad. 589 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,320 That's the passion that he had. 590 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:25,560 That's what he loved. 591 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,560 And at the worst, that's what we have. 592 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,160 But at the best, who knows? 593 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:37,360 And so when you talk about our vision statement, when you talk about where we want to go, I 594 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:38,520 have a passion. 595 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:44,200 I have something that probably means just as much to me as dogs. 596 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,760 And that's my military brothers. 597 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,400 That is my wounded brothers. 598 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,480 That is the brothers that I served with. 599 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:59,160 Anybody that that's been around me, I don't really talk too much about my military career. 600 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:07,780 I did a lot of, a lot of deployments overseas and spent, I think I counted it up one time 601 00:37:07,780 --> 00:37:11,040 and I was up to a hundred and something months overseas. 602 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:16,280 And so I've spent a lot of time, done a lot of things and helping. 603 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:21,120 There's a lot of, and I told Bryce, I didn't just want to be like everybody else. 604 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:26,280 Cause Bryce asked me, he said, I really would like to help vets, you know, like wounded 605 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:27,880 warrior or this or that or the other. 606 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:32,000 And I said, I really don't want to be like everybody else. 607 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,680 I kind of want to be unique in our own kind of way. 608 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,640 And we're not sure where that's going to go yet. 609 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,760 Right before this recording me and Bryce were kind of talking about it. 610 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:51,160 And he asked me, he said, should we mention what we eventually want to do? 611 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,160 And I said, do you know exactly what we want to do? 612 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,440 And he said, no. 613 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,200 And I said, then let's just leave it broad. 614 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:04,840 We would like to in some way, shape or form some of the profits, if there ever is any 615 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:11,720 big, big, big, if, if this thing ever takes off and there are profits, we would like to 616 00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:22,160 take a biggest majority of that and to either some way, shape or form help a vet go on a 617 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,640 style of a hunt that he's never been on. 618 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:33,180 Or more importantly to me, help train or purchase a service dog for a vet just somewhere in 619 00:38:33,180 --> 00:38:34,180 that lines. 620 00:38:34,180 --> 00:38:39,160 And guys, you are on the ground floor. 621 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:46,560 So we ask you to join us on this endeavor because it's never just going to be me and 622 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:47,560 Bryce. 623 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,260 We were neither one of us are made of money. 624 00:38:51,260 --> 00:38:55,080 And so that's not what this podcast is about whatsoever. 625 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,880 It's about a passion, but we are not going to be able to do this alone. 626 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:05,840 So we ask that you join with us and seeing where this can go, embodying it with us. 627 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,160 That is kind of our mission. 628 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,040 It's not just me and Bryce. 629 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,040 It's all of us. 630 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,760 It's all of us as dog men, dog women. 631 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:18,440 But eventually we would like it to, we would like to take it to unfound territory within 632 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:25,600 ourselves, help veterans out wherever we possibly can and kind of go that route. 633 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:26,600 Absolutely, man. 634 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,560 And it's bigger than that for me. 635 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,120 Like you said, we don't know where this is going to go, but if it ever does go somewhere, 636 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:33,600 I want to give back. 637 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:38,880 There's been several people who have mentored me along the way and helped me out along the 638 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:39,880 way. 639 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:46,960 And the least that I can do is pay that forward, you know, for somebody who's given the ultimate 640 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,320 thing they can give to our country. 641 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,320 That's to serve. 642 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,720 And if they're, they're down and out and they need a little help and we can help them through 643 00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:54,960 this podcast, that's what I want to do. 644 00:39:54,960 --> 00:40:02,160 I hope that the listeners hear when you hear Bryce talk, there's different levels to Bryce. 645 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:03,160 Okay. 646 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:04,160 Everybody knows. 647 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:08,160 I know people say that I'm loud, but who man, he gets excited. 648 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,160 All right. 649 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,960 So there's different levels of Bryce. 650 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,240 There's different levels of me. 651 00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:20,960 And I hope, I hope and pray that you guys hear the sincerity and the passion in our 652 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:29,360 hearts, not just for dogs, but for each other as, as houndsman for the camaraderie that 653 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:34,680 we, that we build between each other, running up and down the road, sleeping in the same 654 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:40,840 hotel rooms, doing this duffel bags thrown in the back lights everywhere. 655 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,360 Well, my lights everywhere. 656 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:47,920 Bryce, anybody that knows Bryce has got to have his hair dryer. 657 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:48,920 Easy now. 658 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:50,320 I just live an organized life. 659 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:51,320 Okay. 660 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:52,320 Yeah. 661 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,120 Let's, let's, let's ask Nikki about that. 662 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,440 Oh, it's organized. 663 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:56,440 Let's ask Nikki. 664 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:57,440 It's organized. 665 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:02,440 Where'd you find your vest? 666 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:03,440 In the closet. 667 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,160 On the side of the road or did you have to go pick it up? 668 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,560 Oh, I did have to go to that. 669 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:08,560 I was in a rental car. 670 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:09,560 Gosh darn it. 671 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,400 My organized system got thrown off. 672 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:18,640 So as you see guys, we are not the type of podcast that is going to have a script. 673 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:23,640 We are going to kind of, we're going to bounce all over the place, but we're going to try 674 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:24,640 to stay. 675 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,880 He's going to more so than me try to keep me on track. 676 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,920 That's a task because I see a squirrel and I like to chase it. 677 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,220 So absolutely. 678 00:41:33,220 --> 00:41:34,880 So guys, it's going to be fun. 679 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,200 It really is going to be fun. 680 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,640 I'm getting ready to hit bashing with something right now that I didn't even talk to him about 681 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:40,640 before here. 682 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:41,640 So here we go. 683 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:42,640 Wham bam. 684 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:43,640 Thank you, ma'am. 685 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:44,640 Oh, here we go. 686 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:49,880 So give me one of your favorite stories of you and I together. 687 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:50,880 It can be funny. 688 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:51,880 It can be embarrassing. 689 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,880 Give me something. 690 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:54,880 Man. 691 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:55,880 All right. 692 00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:02,200 Honestly, probably one of the funniest and it didn't even really involve us together 693 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:12,720 was I was, I was actually, I got two dogs qualified for the UKC world hunt and I had 694 00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:18,320 called Johnny Hamilton and I had said, Hey man, are you going down there? 695 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:19,320 And he said, no, I'm working. 696 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,320 And I said, dang it. 697 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:25,840 I said, I kind of need somebody else to handle a dog for me. 698 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,680 And he said, well, he said, I got this young guy. 699 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,440 He's all into it. 700 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,000 He said, he don't know much about the rules, but he can strike and tree a dog. 701 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,440 I said, Hey, that's good enough. 702 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,640 Whatever, you know, beggars can't be chooser. 703 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,880 I'll take the bottom of the barrel. 704 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,920 And so he hooked me up with Bryce. 705 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:48,760 Well, Thursday, the dog that I was hunting came in heat and Bryce had already hunted 706 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,440 with the male dog a couple of times. 707 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,320 And so I told him, I said, I'm not going to take the dog away from you. 708 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:56,320 Come and get the dog. 709 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,760 I'm actually just going to go to work. 710 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,840 You know, I didn't know Bryce very well at this time. 711 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,720 And I was just like, man, I don't know this kid. 712 00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:06,440 I'm just going to, I'm going to go to work. 713 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:07,440 I'm going to make some money. 714 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,120 I'm going to let him go hunting. 715 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,280 And so he said, okay, he said, uh, I'm always early. 716 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,760 So what time do I need to be up there? 717 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,240 And I said, man, it's a UKC hunt. 718 00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:20,680 I said, deadline's probably going to be like seven o'clock. 719 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,200 He said, all right, I'll get up there at six. 720 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:32,560 And I get a phone call from Bryce and Bryce says, buddy, the deadline was at three o'clock. 721 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:38,360 Oh, so ready to go to, oh, he was so mad. 722 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,560 I didn't even know where to find the information or else I'd have found it myself. 723 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,120 And we wouldn't have been in this predicament. 724 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,120 He was so mad. 725 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,080 And I said, well, he said, that's okay. 726 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,640 I'll come back tomorrow. 727 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:53,960 I said, Bryce, the thing about the UKC zones is if you get scratched one night, you can't 728 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:58,280 hunt the other. 729 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,720 That made it, that made it 10 times worse. 730 00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:05,720 And uh, I will say that he never, ever, ever lets me live it now. 731 00:44:05,720 --> 00:44:10,880 And if we're talking about going to a hunt together, he will say, well, let me get online 732 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,840 and verify the deadline information. 733 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:14,840 Yeah, absolutely. 734 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,520 Cause I'm not getting stuck with that again. 735 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:22,560 I was so pumped up and it was just like somebody took a dag on Swiss army knife and popped 736 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:23,960 my balloon. 737 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:29,320 Honestly, probably if, if I was sitting here being honest with me and you, probably the 738 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:35,920 time you have more reasons than I do, but probably the time that sticks out the most 739 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,920 with me and you was our run to the UKC world. 740 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,440 Oh, it was great. 741 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,600 Not only because that's where you met Nikki and your future wife and your future family 742 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:53,280 and all of that, but it was, I think that hunt there bonded us as, you know, because 743 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:58,680 I was hunting, uh, you know, people thought we were crazy on Facebook, you know, going 744 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:04,920 live, you know, some people took offense saying that we were being arrogant, which we weren't, 745 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,040 we were just, we were just enjoying it. 746 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:08,280 Win, lose or draw. 747 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:17,320 If you ask, you know, um, it was just, it was just a wonderful time between two friends. 748 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:18,320 Just live it in the moment. 749 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:23,560 If you ask, and I'll tell you who can, I've heard him tell the story two or three times 750 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,040 and that's old Jason Coop, Oh Cooper. 751 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,040 Yep. 752 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:34,600 I'm gonna tell you, and it's probably because he blew me out of the water. 753 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:35,600 Yeah. 754 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:40,640 And I had to emphasize that just like that, because that's exactly what happened. 755 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,200 The wheels fell off the train. 756 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:50,080 He said that the final nine casts that me and him was on are, was it no, no, no one 757 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:51,080 final nine. 758 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:55,880 It was final seven final, final something, we were heads up. 759 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,200 Less than ten. Yep. We were heads up 760 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:05,220 It was late round Friday night at the UKC world. It was me. It was spot against outlaw and 761 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:11,420 The first tree I thought I had him licked possum I 762 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,280 Thought I had him 763 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,380 We tried everything we could to get him to think it was a possum. I thought I had well 764 00:46:18,380 --> 00:46:24,140 No, I had first and first on that one. Anyways, he had second and second. So I was like, oh, I've got him 765 00:46:24,140 --> 00:46:31,420 What I didn't know was outlaw was good at going 25 yards and train another one 766 00:46:31,420 --> 00:46:36,340 Oh, yeah, the possum wasn't the first day that one now there was just a really really white coon 767 00:46:36,340 --> 00:46:38,940 We were trying to get him think was a possum. That wasn't the first tree 768 00:46:38,940 --> 00:46:43,540 I said that was like that was like the fourth or fifth and that he treed I've slept since then 769 00:46:43,540 --> 00:46:48,680 Yeah, it was it so I got the first and first on him and then he went 770 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:54,920 25 yards and jammed one and then went 40 yards and jammed one and then went yeah, it was bad 771 00:46:54,920 --> 00:47:00,760 But anyways coupe will tell you that he never met two guys that enjoyed losing 772 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:09,000 As much as me and Bryce and it wasn't that we enjoyed losing me and Bryce were just enjoying 773 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:17,600 The ride it was so I think if you really look at the aspects and everything that came out of that weekend 774 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,040 for 775 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:23,360 Me it wasn't even just that for me. It's also the something that you don't know 776 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:28,600 It's the friendship and the family atmosphere that I have built with Jeffrey Davis 777 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,680 Tiffany Davis 778 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:36,000 That I have built with Michelle Roberts and Ben Roberts that family is 779 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,880 Phenomenal love them to death.
