Woo!
I'm in.
What's up buddy?
I'm in like Flynn.
In like Flynn?
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
You slid in at the last moment.
Oh buddy, I tell you what, today has been a doozy.
Well yeah.
Yeah, no it's been big.
I mean, people should know by now that I work for Froggy Bottom Outdoors.
And let me tell you, we're just getting busier and busier by the day.
This company is starting to grow, it's starting to get busy, the feed sales are starting to
take off, we're going to some hunts, we've been at some beagle hunts lately.
Man, it's really getting the name out there of FBO and it's been busy.
So busy is good, but busy also means that I am falling behind on things that need to
be taken care of.
Well, I mean that's why you've got a house full of kids.
I think they're setting me further behind.
Oh really?
Oh my goodness.
You gotta whip them in to shape, buddy.
Yeah, I mean I'm trying, but who are they?
You're breaking up, were they what?
I said are they whipping you in to shape?
Something like that.
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, you're frozen now.
I'm not going to drag on it.
What happened to you?
Is that better?
I can hear you, but I still don't see you.
I still see your ugly mug frozen right on the screen.
No.
Oh, this is a good time for Shane to be screenshotting how many faces you make during these things.
Are you still frozen?
No a little bit.
Hey, Wyatt Monon's on here.
I want to give a shout out to Wyatt real quick.
I saw recently that he kind of coordinated some PKC hunts, some pro classics out west.
And it looks like they all filled the day within like a few hours.
So kudos to him for taking care of those guys out west.
Yeah, definitely, definitely.
Out west they don't get a lot of those hunts.
So being able to put together a bunch of hunts at once and be able to fill them as quick
as they did is pretty remarkable.
Especially whenever, I mean those style hunts, those two, $300 pro classics, I mean, heck
more of them get canceled and filled.
Yeah, absolutely.
So you know, I saw he was doing that last week and then saw today that they got him
filled.
So props to you, Mr. Monon, props to you.
Mr. Michael Mitchell's tuning in.
Guys here, Bryce, I know the exact date.
I don't have a clue.
I don't either.
He's the editor and does all that.
But we got to sit down and do a recording with Michael Mitchell and Lee Wade and phenomenal
podcast.
Congratulations once again on their back to back UKC and PKC state championship.
Yeah.
So we've got some episodes coming up here, which is one thing I told you I'm falling
behind on because I got to get these things edited and whipped into shape.
We've got them sitting in the queue.
I just don't have a chance to get them edited.
So but we've got Lauren Brown coming up, the written houndsman.
That is going to be an episode you guys are going to want to tune into.
Man, I can't even say enough about this episode.
If you guys want an episode that's not just about coon hunting, it's not just about the
love of dog, but it pulls on your heartstrings.
That's an episode you're going to want to tune into.
That was a good one.
So give me your immediate quick reaction to our last episode that dropped on Friday.
Hilarious.
Yeah, I listened to it again and I was laughing the whole time.
You know, having Hannah on there and then hearing Chad chirp in on the background.
That reminds me.
We need to get him set on a date.
Yeah, we do.
We definitely need to get Chad Falling scheduled on here because hearing him chirp in on the
background there, I mean, he's going to be a good one to have on the podcast.
But I really, really, really enjoyed that one with Hannah falling.
Man, she's knowledgeable about different breeds of dogs, about what it takes to train dogs,
not just in the coonhound world, not just in the fly ball world, but God bless it.
It was a good podcast.
She was a great guest.
So I'll give you credit for that one.
You did a good job finding that guest.
Good job, buddy.
Yeah.
You know, so we had for you, Shane Smith.
You know, we had we had Hannah on last week.
The one coming up here on the 19th, it's going to be Lauren Brown.
Your guys are going to want to tune into that one.
It's a good one.
It's a little emotional.
Not going to lie.
Not even going to lie to you.
It had me in my feels a little bit.
So that was a good one.
Man, we've still got one to drop with Calvin Redhouse that we did.
We've got to get his editing on there.
It's already recorded.
Caleb McDonald.
We did one with Caleb McDonald down there, you know, down there in Georgia.
We need to get his going.
So it's already recorded.
Just got to get it edited.
Man, we just done a bunch of them.
We got Lee Wade, Michael Mitchell.
So we've got guys lined up that are on here.
Like I said, I've got to quit working so many hours and getting home before seven o'clock
every night and get some of this done.
So I'm going to have to talk to the boss and see if I can like, you know, get home in a
reasonable time every day.
You think you'll let me?
No, I don't either.
Yeah.
Speaking of which, guys, me and Bryce are going to me and him is actually going to have
a meeting after this.
We're going to kind of take Semper Dog in a little bit different.
So make sure you follow along, tag us, subscribe to us in all your social media platforms.
We're going to be kind of going down a different trail.
We're looking to do some different things.
We're actually going down and come up with a schedule.
It's not just going to be a hunting base.
We're going to go out and find those other entities that are dog related because, you
know, where it is fun to stay in our niche, it's where we're comfortable.
We're not about being comfortable.
We're about bringing the best product, looking for those new avenues that we haven't dove
into yet.
And it's something that we're really going to get into.
So make sure you stay tuned and me and Bryce are going to hash it out, knock each other
out, whatever we have to do.
We're going to come down with a schedule and we're going to do things a little different
going.
Yeah.
You know, we told you guys from the very beginning that this podcast was for all dog lovers.
It was for fanciers of all breeds, all different sports.
And that's what we're going to do.
So we know that we've been hitting heavy on the coon hunting, but that's what that's like
Bachelm said, that's home for us.
We're always going to have a love for that.
We're always going to talk a little bit about it, but we enjoy going out and talking to
people who do different things.
Like this fly ball episode was so fun.
I learned a ton.
And whenever we were done recording, I sat on my phone for, I don't know, a good while
watching fly ball videos, you know, just seeing it, like watching the pros do it.
And it was exciting.
It's fun.
So like you said, Bachelm and I, we are going to sit down and try and come up with, you
know, a schedule where we can do almost like mini series, you know, spend a few weeks on
topic a spend a few weeks on topic B, uh, kind of just run like a little mini series
on some things.
We see a comment here from Nikki.
She said she wants to hear about some sled dogs.
So we might be able to make that happen for Earl Chup.
He just joined on.
I know he's a coyote guy.
I know he runs coyote hounds.
So I'm sure he likes to listen about them coyote hounds.
We did one with Dalton Hillard, but we just did one.
So I've got a couple other people lined up that I think I can get on here for some coyote
dogs.
And I might even tap into Earl for one of those podcasts.
So we'll just have to see what happens there.
But like I said, almost like run it like a mini series type deal where we're not just
bouncing around all over the place.
There's some structure to it.
There's a format and people can really in engross themselves, I guess is the word if
that's a word.
Is that a word in the English dictionary?
In gross?
I don't know.
Maybe.
Michael Mitchell just said, remember to reach out to face in the pointers.
Yep.
Michael gave me that tip.
I don't know a week ago or so.
So I've got them wrote down.
There's somebody I need to reach out to do a little more research on them.
If there are people that you guys are wanting to hear, let us know.
Shoot me a DM.
Shoot us an email.
SemperDoggin at Gmail.
We're glad to take suggestions.
I will say that not every suggestion will be answered, but or not answered.
I'm saying we won't be able to get everybody on that is suggested, but we're always open
to those.
What do you got their idea up there for?
No.
Okay.
Well, I guess that idea was gone.
Yeah.
Another thing I want to say is if you guys would please do us a favor and help us out.
I know it sounds like a broken record, but we really need you guys to like and share
this stuff on your social medias.
Whenever it comes across your newsfeed, anytime we post a podcast, we're posting it to the
SemperDoggin profile and then we share it to the SemperDoggin podcast group page.
Bash and I share it on our personal profiles.
If you guys could help us out and just take two seconds to hit the share button and get
the word out, that will help us so much.
There's a lot of things that we have lined up and the only way that we can do a lot of
this is with the help and the support of you guys.
So the more that people that know about SemperDoggin, the more we can reach, the more we can do,
the more we can give back.
If you guys didn't hear on the last Doggin Tuesday, SemperDoggin is getting ready to
donate $500 to the Indiana State Youth Hunt.
You know, we're doing that out of some of our sponsorship money that we've got.
That's part of the money.
Instead of Bash and I taking that for our personal use, we're just taking that and donating
that right back to the community.
And we can't do that.
We can't get those sponsors, you know, without the downloads, without the social media engagement.
I hate asking for it and I don't like to be like that, but it's the truth.
You know, we have to have the stats to go out to these sponsors to pitch ourselves to
them to let them know that we are worth investing in.
And things like donating to these youth hunts and the couple of different hunts that we've
already donated to, that's what the money's going to.
It's good cause.
You know, Bash and I, we do this because we love it.
We do it because we enjoy bringing you guys content.
We're not here to get rich.
It's probably never going to happen.
And we said that from the very beginning that that is not what this is about.
This is two guys who are having fun, enjoying each other's camaraderie, bringing people
together all for the love of dogs.
But we want to be able to help out.
We want to be able to give back.
And part of that is, you know, relying on you guys to help us spread the word and spread
Semper Doggen.
Speaking of the Indiana State Youth Hunt, when is it?
That is July 12th, I believe.
Okay.
Yep.
I think it's July 12th.
If you're still watching, could you please comment the correct date for the Indiana State
Youth Hunt?
We would appreciate that.
Oh, look at there.
She did the 13th, July 13th.
July 13th.
It's a busy, busy month for the, uh, for the coon hunting world in general.
It's a busy month.
Yeah.
But that Indiana State Youth Hunt, man, there's $2,000 up for grabs for the youth.
$2,000.
That's huge.
It's going to be awesome.
It's going to be in Peru, Indiana.
It's going to be up at Russ Beller's place.
There's going to be field trial, water races, bench show, night hunts.
There's a lot going on guys.
This is going to be big.
So if you guys are not free or not busy, make sure you mark down on your calendar, July
13th to join us in Peru, Indiana for the 2024 Indiana State Youth Hunt.
It's going to be a blast.
Is it going to be a first?
You broke up.
Silo?
Yeah, it's somewhere up in there.
Up at, I don't know if it's going to be exactly at the silo, but I believe it is going to
be at Beller's place.
Man, I saw a sad post.
I don't want to turn things south, but I saw a sad post today on Facebook right before
I got on here.
Oh Lord.
Hell on Heels, world champion.
Hell on Heels passed away today.
That's what I thought.
I thought you were going to bring it up.
Our condolences that Ashley oxidized the back of a dog.
Yep, absolutely.
It was, she was one that made an lasting impact on the sport, you know, not just in her world
championship, but in the breeding pen as well.
There's a lot of good dogs at a, at all heels.
So hate to hear that.
I guess Kentucky talk.
Okay.
Let's just go ahead and get it out there.
John Calipari has left the university of Kentucky Wildcats basketball team for Arkansas.
For those of you that are like, Hey, how did, how could he leave a team like Kentucky and
go to Arkansas?
It's called Tyson chicken.
They are from Arkansas and they are Arkansas alumni and they threw $15.
Hold on.
You broke up.
They threw what you broke up.
$15 million a year million.
You keep breaking up with that word million.
15 million.
Okay.
Wow.
And he, he wanted Kentucky to match it.
And they said, well, I mean, I'm not a big sports follower, but from what I can tell
on Facebook, Kentucky fans were ready to get him out.
They probably would have paid the 15 million for him to leave.
Yeah.
He had a $33 million.
Ooh, we that's up there.
Yeah.
That's big.
So we're, we're ready for a new face.
He does some good things, but the last four or five years has been underachieving.
So we're ready for a new face and new voice.
Yeah.
That'd be fun.
This weekend tournament of champion finals.
It's going to be a big weekend in green castle, Indiana.
Yes.
So actually, uh, you'd be, I guess that you have some stats.
Yeah.
Am I breaking up?
Yeah.
I don't know what's going on.
I don't know either.
Hold on.
We're going to have to get your, uh, get you a wifi tower.
Let me tell you, T-Mobile.
Any better?
Yeah.
It's a little bit better.
T-Mobile 30 bucks a month.
It'll help you.
I don't have T-Mobile.
I don't either.
I just went and got the box.
You don't have to have them as a service.
Yeah.
I've got it.
I've got a wifi rabbit right here.
I'm like, nobody's on it.
Like, no, yeah, nobody's here.
Interesting.
Okay.
Um, well let's hear your stats.
So there's 14 dogs from, okay.
10 dogs from Tennessee.
Nine dogs from Mississippi.
Okay.
Eight dogs from Indiana.
Eight?
That's it?
Eight dogs.
Dang, we're not representing very well.
Usually we're up there.
Seven from Kentucky.
Okay.
Five from Alabama, Georgia and Iowa.
All right.
Four from Arkansas and North Carolina.
All right.
Three from Florida and West Virginia.
Okay.
Two from Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas.
All right.
Is there anybody with one?
And one from Connecticut, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, New York, Pennsylvania.
I was surprised.
Illinois?
Only one from Illinois.
Dude, that's gotta be a typo.
No.
Trevor, wait.
How can there only be one dog from the state of Illinois?
But you have to understand that's, that's where the owner is from.
Yeah, I know, but still like, man, that's, that just seems off to me.
I mean, Justin Davenport's got the.
The youngest.
Yeah.
I saw that little cookies in.
Yeah.
Born November 1st of 2022.
Interesting.
You know, no, actually the fifth youngest.
Really?
Yeah.
Nice.
Okay.
Do you have a list of the nine from Indiana?
No, I do not.
Okay.
I don't either.
Man, I was going to say we should just do a little deal here.
And there's only eight.
Oh, eight.
Okay.
Interesting.
All right.
Well, do you have, and I do not, so I'm just gonna throw it out there.
I do not.
Do you have a prediction for who you think might go to the final three?
No, I would need to study the list a little bit more.
Yeah.
I would need to actually look at it.
Oh, it's going.
Yeah.
I know Apollo's.
Yeah.
Apollo's in old Jeff McCollum got hooked up with Apollo.
I mean, he did a heck of, he's been on a nice run with him.
Seems like they're getting him in most places that they go.
I mean, obviously I got to be lady.
John Strickland and lady.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'd have to get back in there.
Yeah.
You're a returning champion hobo.
Yep.
Yeah.
Oh, well, is in there.
You got a hobo.
Yeah.
There's a lot of dogs, but man, there's a lot of them in there too that I don't know.
I don't know that those even make my top three.
I just don't know.
You got that.
You got that June June bug.
Yeah.
Chad McCoy and Gaucho they're in black dog.
Yeah.
They're going to be representing the black and tan breed.
So that'd be interesting.
I'll tell you another one.
Okay.
Mr. Scott Bennett's got a tea baby.
Interesting.
All right.
So did you yesterday watch the eclipse?
Yes, I did.
Me and me and the fam.
We were actually outside mowing the yard and stuff like that.
So we said, yeah.
So I cannot be the only person who thought about, man, how cool would it be to cut a
dog loose about 10 minutes before it's supposed to get dark and try and treat a coon in the
middle of the day.
There's no way I'm the only person who thought that.
No, I definitely.
It looks like I could cut it.
Yeah.
It got dark.
It was interesting.
I got dark real quick.
Yeah.
I was, it was cool.
You know, it was cool for about, I don't know, 12 seconds and then I was over it.
And I was like, eh, whatever.
It is what it is.
But yeah, busy, busy month.
You got the St. Jude hunt on the 12th and 13th.
You got this is a joke of this month.
Yeah.
Okay.
19th and 20th Walker days.
18th, 19th and.
Okay.
You got a couple of pro sport hunts this month in fountain city and Shelbyville, Tennessee.
Awesome.
Yeah.
The big, the UKC Beagle clash of champions.
They April 18th.
There is there is an ABC Beagle hunt this weekend.
I believe that's the American Beagle club.
Their spring bash is this weekend at the, um, Oh, Jalapa Isaac Walton league clubhouse.
That is where froggy bottom outdoors will be set up this weekend at that ABC Beagle
hunt.
You're not going to the Beagle clash of champions April 18th.
No, no, no.
I've, this would be my third Beagle hunt in like four weekends.
We've been hitting those Beagle hunts pretty hard.
Yeah.
They usually have a good, what they have, what a good turn now.
Yeah, for sure.
Absolutely.
All right.
Well, that is probably wraps up what we have going on for this month.
You and I have a meeting to discuss after this for the future of Semper doggon where
we're going to be going.
So I don't want to cut this thing short, but this meeting is pretty important.
So do you have any other pressing issues that need to be covered on this episode of dog
and Tuesday?
Oh, you forgot about super takes.
Oh, that's right.
Super stakes.
I forgot about that.
I will be going.
I will not be going.
Nope.
My dog got sold.
I don't know if we'll be doing any good.
Oh, wipe out bull.
You mean?
Yeah.
Oh, wheels, wheelie bar, squealy bar, bull, whatever you want to call him.
He got so Nikki says we ain't calling him bull.
He will always be wheels in this household.
This picture right here was taken at super stakes last year.
That was with their Shane Smith dog.
That's when we got him in, doubled him up.
So I hate it.
Too bad Shane don't have another one like he's supposed to.
I know it.
So I will not be at super stakes this year.
I did pick up a dog this weekend, which I haven't even told you about.
Picked up a dog this weekend.
I'm trying out.
He, well, I'm not going to tell you too much.
He is a three year old.
He'll be a fall three year old.
Yeah.
Come from Southern Indiana.
That's all I'm going to tell you.
I got him on trial.
I got him on a two week trial.
Oh, they still have those.
Yeah, dude.
I'm telling you.
It's hard to find.
I even saw a post on Facebook yesterday where the guy was trying to sell a dog and at the
very bottom of it, he put absolutely no trials.
If you want to try the dog, come hunt with him or something.
And that's just standard protocol for today's world.
So I was pretty shocked whenever I was talking to these gentlemen.
There's two guys that own him.
I was pretty shocked whenever I was talking to them and I went down hunting with him.
I did hunt with him in their neck of the woods.
He treated two coons in a den on three turnouts.
I said fall three year old, kind of a no name dog.
He hasn't been pushed only been to one club.
I think he's got, I think he's got $300 and one this year in PKC.
I said fall three year old.
So man, he's just kind of been on the back burner.
He's a coon dog from what people I've talked to around that area tell me.
We're going to try him out up here for a couple of weeks and see what happens.
So I'm looking, I'm looking for a dog.
It's been, it's been hard, I guess, watching these other dogs leave at somebody else's
mercy.
It's tough on me.
I get attached to these dogs, so I'm looking for something.
You haven't had one of your own in how long?
I have now.
I mean, I haven't hardly ever owned a dog of my own.
So it's been interesting.
I don't know.
I mean, it's weird trying to think that I'm maybe looking for something for myself and
not hunt for somebody else.
But at the same time, man, I'm ready to just treat some coons, go to hunts, have a good
time, not have any pressure.
I don't know.
And not have to worry about when the last time you cut them out might be.
So we'll see if it works out.
There's no guarantees.
Like I said, we'll try him up here for two weeks in my neck of the woods and see what
happens and make our decision then.
So I'll keep you posted.
I brought an old friend.
Who?
Shootings.
Shooting star.
Huh.
All right.
Overroding.
There you go.
All right.
Well, let's cut this one off here.
Like I said, we got some stuff to cover here for the future of Semper Dog.
And we are going to try and make this the best that we can make it for you guys.
