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
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,980
I'm your host, Bryce Matthews.

16
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:04,880
And I'm your co-host, Stephen Basham.

17
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:15,360
And this, this is Semper Doggin.

18
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,880
Welcome welcome welcome to another episode of Semper Doggin.

19
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:25,520
Guys, I am your host Bryce Matthews and today we are joined as always by Mr. Stephen Basham.

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,160
How are you buddy?

21
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,000
I'm making it.

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,000
How about yourself, Bob?

23
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,520
Well, I'm doing a little bit better than you are.

24
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,080
Just a little bit.

25
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,600
I would say so.

26
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,000
But you're doing better than the guests that we were supposed to have on here.

27
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,680
At least you've got a little bit of power.

28
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,080
Our guest, guys, we're not going to spoil it.

29
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,680
We're going to have him on here another time.

30
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:52,480
But he was supposed to join us from down in Virginia and he ain't got nothing.

31
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,000
He's no power, no nothing.

32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,560
The ice and snowstorm hit them and wiped them out.

33
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,880
Man, you would think him being him.

34
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,280
I mean, I don't have nothing.

35
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,840
And yet I have something because I refuse to live with nothing.

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:09,840
Yeah.

37
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:15,560
So I got enough ingenuity that right now we have no power.

38
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,760
But I have my whole house operational.

39
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:19,760
You do.

40
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:20,760
And we're going to talk about that a little bit.

41
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,160
So like, guys, this is going to be just right off the bat.

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,840
Like I said, our guest that we had tonight got hit by the storms.

43
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:26,840
He's out.

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,280
So we're going to do a little improvising here.

45
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,040
We're going to talk some dogs.

46
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,480
But we're also going to talk just a little bit of life lessons because Basham has taught

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,440
me something here in the last day.

48
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,760
And I think it's cool to talk about and learn and maybe somebody else can benefit from it

49
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,760
one day.

50
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:42,760
But yeah.

51
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:43,760
All right.

52
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:49,160
So fill me in on what you've been doing the last couple of weeks because we know it's

53
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,480
been a while since we've had a Semper Dog an episode.

54
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,480
We had the new year.

55
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,480
We had Christmas.

56
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,480
We had the New Year's.

57
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,480
We had everything going on.

58
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,480
It's been a while since you and I have talked on here.

59
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,480
So fill me in.

60
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,160
What's happening?

61
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:07,200
First and foremost, hey, happy one year anniversary for us.

62
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,120
Hey, yes, sir.

63
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,480
One year anniversary for Semper Dog.

64
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,800
And hey, guys, we appreciate you guys tuning in everywhere I go.

65
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:23,560
I actually went to a doubleheader down in Morgantown on Saturday and a guy showed up

66
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,880
from Russellville and didn't know him from Adam.

67
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,920
And we were sitting there signing up and he said, hey, man, I really want to tell you

68
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:37,400
how much I enjoy yours and Bryce's podcast.

69
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,840
He said, he said, I'm usually in the truck about two to three hours a day.

70
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,320
And he said, every chance I get, I'm turning on your podcast and listening to it.

71
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,440
And so everywhere I go, we're getting, you know, people are liking it.

72
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,720
They're liking the content.

73
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:01,260
What most people tell me they like about it is the raw, how we just it's just two buddies

74
00:04:01,260 --> 00:04:05,840
just sitting on here talking with, you know, there's no script.

75
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,840
We're just like any other smo Joe out there, you know, smo Joe, huh?

76
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,040
A smo Joe.

77
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,480
What about a Joe smo?

78
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,480
No, no.

79
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,480
My granny used to call it a smo Joe.

80
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,440
My granny called it smo Joe.

81
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,160
So in my life, that's what I call it.

82
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,160
But you know, you got to keep those traditions going.

83
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,280
But yeah, I think I want to thank Bryce.

84
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:38,840
He kind of does a lot more with this simple dog than I do just from the technical aspect

85
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:40,580
of it.

86
00:04:40,580 --> 00:04:43,600
When we record, he's the one that edited it.

87
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,480
He's the one that gets it put on.

88
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,320
So he kind of not just sit here and talk and that's about it.

89
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,120
But he's the man behind the scenes that kind of edits everything.

90
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,700
So big shout out to you, Bryce.

91
00:04:55,700 --> 00:04:56,960
Thank you, bud.

92
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:04,200
And definitely as far as goals for Semper Doggen, you know, I'd like to and I know that

93
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,000
you're on this too.

94
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,200
Because me and Bryce have just been slammed lately.

95
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:18,280
But I'd like to reinvigorate ourselves, get motivated again about it and to really hash

96
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:21,720
out some good podcasts.

97
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,680
My goal for this year is kind of like what I told you before.

98
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,480
I really want to get to those clubs.

99
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:35,480
I kind of mentioned it on Dog and Tuesday that I jumped on real quick, not very long.

100
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:43,480
I really want to get to the clubs this year and I want to record those untold stories

101
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:49,280
from the older generation and really record those, really get down and dirty with those.

102
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:53,800
And so that's my personal goal for Semper Doggen this year.

103
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:54,800
What's yours?

104
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,320
Man, I would like to tell some of those stories too.

105
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,120
And I don't know.

106
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,720
I don't know the best way to do it.

107
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,960
I've got a couple ideas, but I guess like the number one goal would be and some people

108
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,640
are going to love this and some people are going to hate it.

109
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:12,240
But I want to step away from the coon hunting a little bit, like branch out.

110
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,920
I've got a couple people that I've talked to lined up that are super cool individuals.

111
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:21,360
They do some really cool things with their dogs.

112
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,560
We've gotten to where we're comfortable with the coon hounds and even the guest that we

113
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,520
had scheduled for tonight, he said, are people even going to listen to me talk since you're

114
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,200
a coon hunting podcast?

115
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,240
I said, we're not.

116
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,560
I said, we've fallen into the trap.

117
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,440
I said, we said from the very beginning, we wanted to be diverse and talk about all dog

118
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,600
sports, like all dog breeds.

119
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,440
And I want to get back to that root and that foundation because we have got kind of comfortable

120
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,560
and just went down the coon hound path.

121
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,520
So my goal for 2025 is to branch out more, learn a little bit more, and hopefully other

122
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,120
people will just be exposed to other things.

123
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,280
I was sitting, I went and checked some traps with my father-in-law earlier tonight before

124
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:03,280
we did this.

125
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:06,960
And he was telling me some stories of the winter classic back in like way back in the

126
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:07,960
day.

127
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,520
And I was, we're just driving down the road in the dark in his truck.

128
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,520
And he's telling me these stories.

129
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,560
I'm like, man, I need a microphone.

130
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,280
I hooked up to this man right now.

131
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:21,520
You know, it's like, it's those untold stories, you know, and I, it would be cool to do that.

132
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,360
So yeah, those would be the two goals.

133
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,880
Try to get some more of those stories and also to branch out from coon hunting just

134
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,400
a little bit.

135
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:38,160
And I think, I think we could really, I think we could really maximize it by doing those

136
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,920
short little segments and we could call it the untold stories at Simpertoggin.

137
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,840
You know, just, it doesn't even have to be like 20, 30 minutes.

138
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,960
You know, I think, like I said, I think what I'm going to do is, is I'm going to pack

139
00:07:53,960 --> 00:08:01,160
my pod track around and just, even if it's a good five, 10 minutes, you know, just a

140
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,600
quick little segment, just to record real quick.

141
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:10,080
And then we could take, you know, maybe once every couple of months or maybe once a month,

142
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,320
we can release a untold stories.

143
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,600
And then, you know, something like that.

144
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:22,120
And so guys, as you can see, this is raw, me and Bryce just kind of sitting here brainstorming,

145
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,240
that's definitely my thoughts on it.

146
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:32,720
And being that this is our, you know, our first year, I think we started out really,

147
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,520
really strong, really proud of how we started out.

148
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:45,280
And then as things got more difficult, as you started your farm stuff up and just, just

149
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:52,100
life in general, as things got crazy, Simpertoggin just kind of got put on the back burner.

150
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:57,880
We've still been dedicated here the last couple of weeks, we've kind of fallen off, but obviously

151
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:03,920
I want to get re-motivated, get focused again on our content.

152
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:11,120
And then, so that's, that's kind of my view from the past and the future of Simpertoggin.

153
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:20,860
What was, what would, what would have been your favorite since this is the one year anniversary?

154
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:24,600
What is your favorite episode of all the ones that we've done?

155
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,600
Man, I would, we didn't even script this stuff out, we didn't even talk about it, you're

156
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,600
putting me on the spot.

157
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,200
I know it.

158
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:39,160
I would say the written Houndsman with Lauren Brown was probably my favorite.

159
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,760
There was a little bit more involvement as far as the production went.

160
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,720
You know, we really thought that one out, like talk to her, wanted her to tell that

161
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,400
story of, or the short story that she wrote.

162
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,480
We wanted her to read that before the podcast, we put some music behind it.

163
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:03,320
Went through the story with her and just her whole process of becoming a houndswoman and

164
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:09,040
you know, her love for dogs and moving out west and coming back home and you know, the

165
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,480
dog that was like her forever dog got real sick on her and she's like, I'll never be

166
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,600
able to replace that dog.

167
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,640
And another dog that she had, it was just kind of on the back burner, like stepped up

168
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,120
and man, it was just really, really cool.

169
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,400
And it was a heartfelt episode.

170
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,920
There was, there was no BS to it.

171
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,200
There was no sugar coating.

172
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,440
Like it was raw, you know, and I had a couple of people even messaged me like, dude, like

173
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,880
that podcast brought me to tears.

174
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,980
I'm like, yeah, I mean, it was, it was an emotional podcast.

175
00:10:36,980 --> 00:10:40,120
So I would say that the written Houndsman, if you guys haven't heard that one, go back

176
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,120
and check that one out.

177
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,120
Definitely.

178
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:49,640
I think, I think from an emotional standpoint, I think that's probably one of my favorite.

179
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:55,920
I think from a knowledge standpoint, there's two that really stand out.

180
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,880
And that's the one that we did with Brandon White from Next Level Performance Dog Food

181
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,880
and Hannah Falling.

182
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,000
Yeah, just the knowledge.

183
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,600
So, I mean, guys, I mean, I mean, I'm not trying to go there, but you're talking about

184
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,880
two guys that are sitting here telling you that two of their favorite podcasts were the

185
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,000
female hunters that we brought on this podcast.

186
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:27,040
So I mean, me and Bryce are no BS whenever we tell you that we are out to give credit

187
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:33,880
and give the knowledge or give the credit to the people that have the knowledge to share

188
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,880
everybody.

189
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:35,880
Yeah, absolutely.

190
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,400
I'm going to actually pull up some analytics here while we're talking.

191
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,600
So tell me about Buzz.

192
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,200
Let's hear a little bit about where Buzz is at.

193
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,440
And then we're going to go back to some maybe some little analytics here for our first year.

194
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,440
Okay.

195
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:57,880
Well, to kind of not to shy away from the Buzz thing real quick, but you asked me a

196
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,760
few minutes ago and we'll get to Buzz in a minute.

197
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,240
You asked me a few minutes ago what I've been doing.

198
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:09,080
So you know, we really haven't talked a lot since Christmas.

199
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:16,400
So we had, you know, obviously had our Christmas, had my birthday, you know, here at the house

200
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,860
got slammed by that ice storm that we talked about.

201
00:12:20,860 --> 00:12:27,020
So did a little bit of hunting, which kind of I guess Buzz falls right into.

202
00:12:27,020 --> 00:12:30,040
So I'll just jump right into it then.

203
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,500
Buzz.

204
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:33,360
I got Buzz from Darren Wiseman.

205
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,560
He's off of Rocky Pieces, female.

206
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:39,160
And which female?

207
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,160
Somewhere.

208
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,280
You had to ask me.

209
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,640
I think it's, it might be Diva.

210
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,640
Okay.

211
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,720
I think it's Diva and somewhere stylish coma.

212
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:50,960
Okay.

213
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:58,320
And I got him from Darren Wiseman March of last year.

214
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,600
And Darren called me up and said, Hey, I got this young pup.

215
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,120
I don't really know what he is.

216
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,920
And would you hunt him for me?

217
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,000
I've hunted a lot of dogs for Darren.

218
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:16,400
So I said, I was down at E down at E town and I said, no.

219
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,920
So I really don't have the space or anything like that.

220
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:25,840
And we got to talking and he convinced me, you know, Hey, just take me up there for a

221
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:26,840
week or two.

222
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,440
He said, I trust your opinion on the dog.

223
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:36,160
So I brought him up to the, up to E town, got him a place up there and started hunting.

224
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:42,440
And right off the bat, he was just kind of what a normal pup is, you know, one that's

225
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,800
not really been pushed too hard.

226
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,400
He'd go out, he'd come back.

227
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,040
He'd go out, he'd come back.

228
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,480
He tree a cone.

229
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,880
He'd make a few slicks.

230
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,000
He tree a possum.

231
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
He'd run.

232
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,240
He'd come back.

233
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,240
He'd make a tree.

234
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,000
He'd leave and come to me and then go back to the tree.

235
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000
So just puppy-ness.

236
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:10,560
And I told Darren, I said Darren, cause here we are, we're talking March and spring one

237
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:13,840
year olds was April.

238
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,280
So I told Darren, I said Darren, he's not, I mean, you didn't get hurt by no means, but

239
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:26,120
he's nowhere near ready to, um, compete at super stakes.

240
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:33,400
So I ended up, um, me and Darren worked out a deal and he ended up at my house and I was

241
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:38,640
hunting him and man, me and him has been through the ups and downs.

242
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:47,080
I mean, all the way from the point of training two and three possums a night to, um, you

243
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,320
know, train a few cones here and there.

244
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:59,520
One thing I liked about the dog is you've ever, you ever had that dog that he just,

245
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:06,160
even on his bad nights, it's like, man, there's just something about this dog that I like.

246
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,560
Like I like this dog.

247
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,240
Like he's your buddy.

248
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:16,080
You know, he's just, he's smart, but in the woods he'll pee you off.

249
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,880
But outside the woods, you're like, man, this, this little dog is my buddy.

250
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,800
Like he's, he's my friend.

251
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,680
And um, I mean, heck Gordon, I got him from Gordon.

252
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,000
Um, how do you pronounce his last name?

253
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Dan Eric.

254
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,880
Yeah, there you go.

255
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,120
I never can pronounce his last name.

256
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:40,040
So I got him from Gordon and Gordon taught him to sit.

257
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,840
And so I'm not joking with you.

258
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:49,040
The picture you seen of Adrian and buzz that's, I told him, I said, but sit, he sit right

259
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,960
down and took that picture.

260
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,620
But uh, he's just smart.

261
00:15:52,620 --> 00:15:53,620
Like I don't have to put it.

262
00:15:53,620 --> 00:15:55,280
I don't have to put a leash on him.

263
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,920
Like he's just, he's just a lovable dog.

264
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:08,840
And you know, me, I get frustrated with young dogs sometimes not as bad as you, but as far

265
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,880
as to the point of, you know, whenever it comes to hunting ability.

266
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:21,840
So it really shocked me that this dog was so inconsistent.

267
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,040
And I was still willing to put the time in.

268
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,840
Usually I ship them down the road, but just something just kept telling me.

269
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:35,120
I mean, he moved around perfect tight on the ground, but when he treed, he either had a

270
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,400
possum or a cane.

271
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:42,860
I mean, there was, there was not much slick training going on and we went through a spell.

272
00:16:42,860 --> 00:16:46,680
We went through a spell where it was a lot of possums.

273
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:52,040
I mean, there was one point where I, I swear I had the possum world champion.

274
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,040
I'm not even joking.

275
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,600
I wouldn't be making a post about that.

276
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:55,600
Yeah.

277
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,620
I even made posts about it.

278
00:16:57,620 --> 00:17:01,120
So one thing led to another.

279
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,840
And like all my young dogs come time, I was like, you know what?

280
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,840
I'm going to put buzz up for sale.

281
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,880
We had prior arrangements.

282
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:15,640
I won't go into those, but we had prior ranges arrangements, but they fell through.

283
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,960
And so I said, you know what?

284
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,400
I'm just going to put him up for sale.

285
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,560
If he sales, I'll sell him.

286
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,560
If not, whatever.

287
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,720
I ain't worried about it.

288
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:30,880
I put him up for sale and a gentleman called me the very next day and said, I've been waiting

289
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,320
on you to put that dog up for sale.

290
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,520
And I said, what do you mean?

291
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,880
He said, buddy, I've watched you ever since you got the dog.

292
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,720
I've watched him tree all those possums and I want that dog.

293
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,920
I said, so, you know, all about him, tree and all these possums and you still want him?

294
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,280
He said, yep.

295
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,560
He said, I like that dog.

296
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,140
He said, I want him.

297
00:17:53,140 --> 00:18:01,920
And so me and him worked out a deal and Fred tennis bought buzz, worked out a deal.

298
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,720
He's going to stay here until super stakes.

299
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:05,720
And who knows?

300
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,080
I don't know how long or how far that'll go outside of that.

301
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:14,680
But me and Fred talk about every other day and seems like a really, I've never met him,

302
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:21,280
but it seems like a really fantastic guy, a hardworking guy just likes to coon hunt.

303
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:29,160
And like I said, he really enjoys seeing buzz on those live videos and getting to see him

304
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,160
go.

305
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:35,040
So, you know, you know, as well as I do, I get a lot of flack from people with how much

306
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,480
live videos I post.

307
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,240
And there's a reason behind it.

308
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,600
One, there's always guys out there watching.

309
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:50,600
And the minute I put one up for sale, they've already seen the dog go 50, 60 times.

310
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,080
Two, a lot of those older guys that can't coon hunt no more.

311
00:18:55,080 --> 00:19:01,320
It's kind of like, have you, if you join Hopkins County Coon Club, which I'm going to give

312
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,320
them a shout out.

313
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:09,640
Kevin Purdy and Daniel Nelson have created a club hunt down there that is that it's 16

314
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:10,640
dogs.

315
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:15,000
It's just like March Madness, one on one.

316
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:22,040
And so they have a dog of the month or November, December, January and February.

317
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,680
And what they, well, actually December, January, February, March, because they didn't, the

318
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,560
first month they did, it was December.

319
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,480
And so it's a hundred dollars and the winner gets 1200.

320
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,480
All right.

321
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,480
Yeah.

322
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:42,000
So, fabulous, fabulous way that they're putting on that hunt.

323
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,680
I really, really enjoy it.

324
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:55,040
And so one thing that's really nice about the way they're doing is every single hunt,

325
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,040
they go live.

326
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,040
Okay.

327
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,880
And those older guys that are not able to get out there and walk all the time, they

328
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,320
absolutely love it.

329
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,600
They're on there watching every single match.

330
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,200
I mean, they just love it.

331
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,560
So I really like making the content.

332
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,340
And you know, yes, there is benefit for myself.

333
00:20:18,340 --> 00:20:19,640
People see me hunting dogs.

334
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,360
They want me to hunt their dog, blah, blah, blah.

335
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:24,100
So yes, there is benefit for me.

336
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:31,840
But also on top of that is, is the older generation gets to see some action, gets to still live

337
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,880
what they used to that they can't do no more.

338
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:39,560
So like I said, Oh, Buzz went to a Fred tennis bot buzz.

339
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,560
And so now we'll see where it goes.

340
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:53,760
I mean, I think if he continues the growth, I don't know, I have a hard time because

341
00:20:53,760 --> 00:21:01,400
I think if anybody else owned him, he'd done been in three or four or five, six, seven

342
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,080
big hunts.

343
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,480
And I'm just that type of guy.

344
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,080
Like when are they ready to go to the big hunts?

345
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,080
Never now.

346
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:16,600
I mean, I mean, you, but, but, you know, as well as I do, you watch these play by place,

347
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,840
you you hunt with some of the biggest named dogs.

348
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,400
Yep.

349
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:30,020
I mean, not throwing any names out there, but I hunted with the dog on, on a Monday

350
00:21:30,020 --> 00:21:35,320
night and buzz tree three and that dog tree none.

351
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,960
And that weekend he won $20,000.

352
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:47,480
That's interesting because I saw a Facebook post of platinum ridge today talking about

353
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,240
all they have is platinum's.

354
00:21:51,240 --> 00:22:00,240
And I chuckle, I chuckle and it's all in good fun because literally you can make a dog platinum

355
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,560
champion in one night nowadays.

356
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:04,640
And that's what happened with him.

357
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,680
I know it is what happened with, I know that's why I laughed.

358
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,180
I just chuckled.

359
00:22:11,180 --> 00:22:16,060
My thing with that though is, is it's also, it's also about an entry fee.

360
00:22:16,060 --> 00:22:17,760
I mean, really that's what it's about.

361
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:23,880
And that's my problem is I've, you know, if I called, I guarantee you if I called Fred

362
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:30,960
right now, I said, Hey Fred, that a hundred thousand dollars down in, um, down in Mississippi,

363
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,760
I want an early and I want to like, I guarantee you he'd buy it.

364
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,160
I guarantee you he'd buy it.

365
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:48,280
I guess I'm to the point of at what point is buzz ready?

366
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,440
He's never going to be ready.

367
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,880
You're never going to say that ready.

368
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,880
I know.

369
00:22:52,880 --> 00:23:00,440
And I mean, I took him, I took him this past weekend and, uh, we went five for five and

370
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,800
PKC hunts.

371
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:02,800
Yeah.

372
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,080
That's awesome.

373
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,360
I mean, and, and look good doing it.

374
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:11,840
I mean, there was only one cast late round.

375
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,800
Um, there was only one cast late round Saturday night.

376
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:21,400
Um, I actually, and I've never won a cast like this before.

377
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,760
I actually won never getting struck in.

378
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:25,760
Oh really?

379
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,760
That's interesting.

380
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,640
It was just one of those nights.

381
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,680
It was one of those nights.

382
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,520
It was right before this snow and ice hit late round.

383
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,080
Nothing was moving.

384
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:43,240
Um, actually, um, the two dogs, the other two dogs that I was hunting against, they

385
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:49,480
struck 175, six caught them.

386
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:55,640
They restruck in and nothing happened.

387
00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:01,320
Was got a 1.4 or five behind the heel and I couldn't hear him.

388
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,600
Uh, he was treated, went in there and had a big ass dent tree.

389
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:11,120
So I mean, if I needed a fan, I wouldn't have won, but I mean, I didn't, I didn't even get

390
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:12,120
struck in.

391
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:13,120
Yeah.

392
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:14,120
Hmm.

393
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:19,920
And I mean, I ended up, so you still have to make a score tree though, right?

394
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:20,920
No, no.

395
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:21,920
That's UKC.

396
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,280
You got to score a tree with plus.

397
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,280
No, with plus.

398
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,280
No.

399
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,480
So it, so it is PKC.

400
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:29,480
Okay.

401
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:30,480
It is PKC.

402
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:39,040
So had one of those dogs and made a circle tree, they could have had 600 minus and they

403
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:47,320
still beat me because they made a scoreable tree.

404
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,120
Okay.

405
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:56,440
But because no dog made a tree, that's why, you know, that's why I was, that's why I won

406
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,440
that one.

407
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:03,040
So like I said, I mean, do I think that we're eventually just going to go?

408
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,760
Yeah, probably.

409
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,680
Um, and who knows?

410
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:13,520
Um, there may be a, uh, room for another dog.

411
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,920
It just needs a little bit to make platinum.

412
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,040
Um, it's going to make a comeback.

413
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,240
Might make a comeback.

414
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,240
Watch out.

415
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,240
Watch out.

416
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,600
You heard it here first on Semper dogging.

417
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:28,600
We'll see.

418
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,600
We'll see.

419
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:34,440
There might be a special guest appearance at the Basham kennel.

420
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,920
Yeah, that'd be nice.

421
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:36,920
Yeah.

422
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:37,920
I, I do may talk about platinum's.

423
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,360
I literally, I sat here eating dinner or right before I ate dinner earlier and I just, I

424
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:48,320
shook my head and I chuckled cause I'm like, you can make a dog platinum champion in one

425
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:49,320
night these days.

426
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,320
Like it's all that.

427
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,320
That's it.

428
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,320
You have to pay to play.

429
00:25:52,320 --> 00:26:01,040
You've got to pay that entry fee, but when one hunt split the late round, bam platinum,

430
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:06,080
you know, like what's the difference in winning the $30, $35 hunt?

431
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:12,160
That's just the entry fee, you know, now granted they're probably a more consistent line of

432
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,280
better dogs that are entered in the hunt.

433
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:21,360
I understand that, but man, like there's just something about that, that to me it takes

434
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:24,880
the word platinum champion and does not, I've never owned one.

435
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,960
So y'all don't burn me at the stake.

436
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:32,440
I've never made one, never earned one, but it doesn't seem that special anymore.

437
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,440
You know?

438
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,440
Yeah.

439
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:40,080
But and I get it.

440
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,440
It's kind of twofold.

441
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:46,000
So you can sit here and say, well, the guys back in the day, they ran up and down the

442
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,240
roads and they made theirs.

443
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,960
Why can't you do it now?

444
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:55,360
I'm going to tell y'all if you've ever been, if you go to the open hunts religiously now,

445
00:26:55,360 --> 00:27:02,440
you're going to drive to just as many that don't have enough dogs or that is canceled.

446
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,680
Then you will.

447
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,000
They have even enough dogs to hunt in.

448
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,600
Like I'm going to tell you.

449
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,840
So I won a few, right?

450
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,160
And so in my head, I'm like, you know what I'm thinking?

451
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,960
The old mentality of truck hunt, truck hunt.

452
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,460
You know what I mean?

453
00:27:19,460 --> 00:27:22,960
So I get on PKC and I'm like, where's the hunts at?

454
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,240
Where's the hunts at?

455
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,240
Guess what?

456
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,280
I got one.

457
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:34,720
There isn't any anymore around me.

458
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,720
There's not.

459
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,080
Grandview don't have them.

460
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,960
Tell City don't have them.

461
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:47,280
Princeton for some reason don't have them for a couple of months.

462
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:48,280
Yeah.

463
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:53,400
I mean, I talked, I was talking to, I was talking to Dick brothers there tonight and

464
00:27:53,400 --> 00:28:01,440
we were hunting and I asked him, I said, Dick, I said, what to you would, would be, it was

465
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:02,640
a two part question.

466
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,160
What to you would be more special?

467
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:11,120
A platinum champion or a hall of fame champion?

468
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:13,800
And he said platinum champion.

469
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,200
I said, all right.

470
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,220
Why he said, I had something about saying that your dog won $20,000.

471
00:28:20,220 --> 00:28:21,400
You know, that, that would feel special.

472
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,400
I said, okay, I can get behind that.

473
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,760
I said, which one of those is harder to do?

474
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:31,120
He said hall of fame champion all day long because you know, in UKC to make hall and

475
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:35,120
I'm just, this is just talking points, you know, in UKC to make a hall of fame champion.

476
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:41,360
You have to win 50 casts, five zero casts.

477
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,360
It don't matter what they're for.

478
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:50,820
The dog has to be entered 50 times to make and win to be hall of fame and a platinum.

479
00:28:50,820 --> 00:28:55,760
You can go in room one time when you're 20,000 you're done.

480
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,600
Yeah.

481
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,920
So here's what I'll tell you about that though.

482
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:07,840
Not, and not throwing any shade, but it is what it is.

483
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:18,480
I know of certain clubs that have, I want to say you're allowed to have six or seven.

484
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,680
Let's just say seven UKC hunts, right?

485
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,360
Double headers like per year, per month.

486
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,360
What are you talking about?

487
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:26,360
Per year, per year.

488
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:27,360
Okay.

489
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:28,360
Per year.

490
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,040
So that's seven at their club.

491
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,680
So that's 14 hunts, right?

492
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,720
And they don't draw anybody.

493
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:43,800
So one dog, you enter one dog and what's that dog automatically get?

494
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,640
We know what they're supposed to do.

495
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:46,640
Right.

496
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,080
They're supposed to go out and drink home.

497
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,080
Right.

498
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,320
But we also ain't stupid.

499
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,960
I mean, we all know what happens.

500
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,680
So that's 14.

501
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,960
Let's say someone shows up half the time.

502
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,160
I mean, you get where I'm coming from, right?

503
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:12,720
You literally, and a lot of those, you literally don't have to beat anybody and you get a win.

504
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,840
So even if you did it at 14 hunts a year, a year, it would take you three and a half

505
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,360
years to make a platinum champion.

506
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,320
That's just, that's just that home club.

507
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,320
That's if you don't go nowhere.

508
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:25,320
Yeah, I'm telling you that's all you went.

509
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:26,320
Yeah.

510
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:27,320
I don't know.

511
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:28,320
It's a interesting talking point.

512
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:34,040
Like it'd be interesting to know what everybody else thinks because I don't know.

513
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,720
And here's, here's, I guess here's, it's a caveat.

514
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,600
It's a, it's kind of a catch 22.

515
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:48,600
Cause if you took your entry fees for 50 hunts or however, cause you're not winning them

516
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,600
all right.

517
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,400
No, you're not.

518
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:58,520
If you kept up with how much the entry fee was for those 50 hunts and how much the gas

519
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:04,600
was, what kind of entry fee could you have bought?

520
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,320
Let's put that dog in.

521
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:12,800
Let's just do the math and let's just say that you've won every hunt you entered.

522
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,080
No, if you win 50%, you're doing great.

523
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,160
So you're a $30, $35 hunt.

524
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,400
You're at $3,500 entry fees.

525
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:34,640
And let's just say $50 a hunt or, um, well, no, no, no, 25 a hunt because a lot of those

526
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:35,720
are going to be double headers.

527
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,920
So let's just say 25 a hunt for gas.

528
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,720
You're at 6,000 for an entry fee total.

529
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,720
So you go to a $6,500 hunt.

530
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,320
Yep.

531
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:58,080
So I guess, I guess I kind of persuaded myself back to, I guess it is, I guess it's easier.

532
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:05,600
You are right to do the platinum just because of the longevity part.

533
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,600
Right.

534
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:18,480
I think competition wise, it's easier to get hall of fame because tell me this, do you

535
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:23,600
know any hunting hall of fame dogs?

536
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,760
Yes.

537
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:31,180
Would you pay the $6,500 to put them in a hunt?

538
00:32:31,180 --> 00:32:34,480
At their age right now?

539
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,080
No.

540
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,880
Back in the day, I think you would have had a chance.

541
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:41,880
But you get where I'm coming from.

542
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:42,880
I do.

543
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:43,880
Yeah.

544
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,320
I think the dog was like nine years old now.

545
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,680
Just turned platinum or just turned to hall of fame.

546
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:58,640
How many of those hall of fame dogs, not going to say could compete because man, you know,

547
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:06,000
as well as I do, I'm not saying because the same dogs, I mean the dogs, it, right.

548
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,440
That run the circuit, they're coon dogs.

549
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,440
Right.

550
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,600
I mean, there ain't no, if they are, for sure.

551
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,040
You miss a coon and you're done.

552
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:24,640
I mean, but we've also seen it to where somebody go by a three year old that's never been in

553
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:30,800
a hunt, somebody that's willing to push one and boom, they go on a roll and they win 30,

554
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,800
40, 50,000 with the dog.

555
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:34,800
And where's the dog been?

556
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:40,320
He's been back behind the barn and, or, you know, not being hunted.

557
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,320
Yeah.

558
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,200
And then all of a sudden, boom, boom, boom, boom.

559
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,680
I mean, I'll give you an example.

560
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,480
And she done plenty of winning.

561
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:49,840
Don't get me wrong.

562
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:56,800
The dog that I'm about to mention, she did plenty of winning in UKC and a little bit

563
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,240
when they would take her in PKC.

564
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,760
But look at Anne when JR great had her.

565
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:02,760
Yeah.

566
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:03,760
I mean, don't get me wrong.

567
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,840
She did quite a bit of winning, but she didn't do the money winning.

568
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,200
Well, she wasn't entered in the same, like the big hunts that she is now.

569
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:17,760
And then, and then Strickland gets her and then now, you know, truck winner, this winner,

570
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:18,760
that winner.

571
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:23,480
I mean, it's just, the dogs gotta be given the opportunity.

572
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,560
And I think you'll agree.

573
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:31,900
I mean, it's kind of like for me, the buddy dog that I run.

574
00:34:31,900 --> 00:34:38,520
If I had unlimited funds pushing that dog, there's no doubt in my mind, he'd be over

575
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,520
a hundred thousand earnings.

576
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:41,840
Right.

577
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:47,640
I mean, no doubt in my mind, he'd be over a hundred thousand earnings.

578
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:48,880
Easy.

579
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:54,440
If I was able to go to any, any hunt I wanted to go to easy over a hundred thousand dollar

580
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:55,440
earnings.

581
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:56,440
Yep.

582
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:57,440
Yep.

583
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:04,880
And he's sitting at, he's sitting at 19 and all we've ever went to is three and $400,

584
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,680
$500 broke last year.

585
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,040
You hit one good lick.

586
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,040
Yeah, I hit one good lick.

587
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,040
I did.

588
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,480
I forgot the very first one.

589
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:14,480
Yep.

590
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,480
I hit one.

591
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:16,480
I hit one good.

592
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:17,480
I hit a $5,000.

593
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,480
Like we went to that first hundred thousand dollar hunt.

594
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:22,480
Yep.

595
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:31,120
But so 14,000, 14,000 of his 19 has come from the small pro classics.

596
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,120
Right.

597
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:33,120
Right.

598
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:39,320
And then, and then he's won, I think 8,000 in pro sport and all of those were from three

599
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,200
and $500 pro classics too.

600
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,200
Yeah.

601
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,120
So, and I know you feel the same way about wheels.

602
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,120
I do.

603
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,600
You know what I mean?

604
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,120
I tell people all the time I wish that I could afford to give him the opportunity that he

605
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,400
deserves, you know, and, and it's a catch 22.

606
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,960
It's like, okay, man, I love that dog.

607
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:02,120
Like I love him to death.

608
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,240
He's my buddy, like coon tree and fool.

609
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:09,560
But man, I'd love to see the dog get an opportunity to go, you know, I'd love to see him get a

610
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,040
chance to be pushed.

611
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,820
It's not going to happen to my house.

612
00:36:13,820 --> 00:36:16,520
You know, I am not paying those entry fees.

613
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:17,840
I don't have the funds to do it.

614
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,520
I am not.

615
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:24,400
And, but I also know that if I don't, if I weren't to sell him, like all he's going to

616
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:32,080
be is the dog that goes to the a hundred, $250 hunts, you know, uh, the dogs never that

617
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,120
I've never put him in a hunt over $150.

618
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,120
I lied.

619
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,320
I put him in one $500 pro sport hunt.

620
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:43,280
It was paying out 25,000 and we got caught in a monsoon and we stood in the same place

621
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,360
for two hours and nobody moved.

622
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,920
We had a dead cast.

623
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,680
That was the one time I come off some money and put him in a, you didn't have a dead do

624
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,560
what you didn't have a dead cast.

625
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:56,560
No, we got scratched.

626
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,120
Our cast never made it back in time for deadline.

627
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,120
Nobody treated coon.

628
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,160
Nobody could catch their dogs.

629
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,160
We didn't have nothing.

630
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,000
Who was the winner?

631
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,440
His, his face and his name's right there.

632
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,440
I know.

633
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:12,520
I just can't, I've seen the guy somewhere and he told me, he said, yeah, I'm the one

634
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,560
that won that cast.

635
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,140
Nobody won my cast.

636
00:37:17,140 --> 00:37:18,140
Nobody won.

637
00:37:18,140 --> 00:37:23,120
They just didn't make it back to the club in time.

638
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,640
The guy who was hunting Tia was on the cast.

639
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,640
We won autumn Oaks.

640
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,240
It wasn't Cody Sipes.

641
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:40,640
I had Cody Sipes and Levi Espostee and I forget who the fourth dog was, but dude, I'm telling

642
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:41,640
you, we never treated coon.

643
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:42,640
We didn't do nothing.

644
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,360
Levi made two circle trees and then they got,

645
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,560
Levi won the cast, didn't he?

646
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,160
I guess I would, I would drew.

647
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:50,160
I don't know.

648
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,160
Yeah.

649
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:52,360
Levi, that's who it was.

650
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,920
That's what I, I stayed with him up at the AKC world.

651
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,200
That's now it's all coming back to me.

652
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,900
And he told me that he won that cast, but he didn't make it back by deadline.

653
00:38:01,900 --> 00:38:03,200
It was pouring rain sideways.

654
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,080
You couldn't see that it was flooded on the road.

655
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,400
I mean, we literally, they cut the dogs loose.

656
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:09,960
I was, I was like, I'm out of this.

657
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,040
Like y'all have fun.

658
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:16,440
But they, they cut the dog across the field and it was flooding.

659
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,680
They were swimming, bringing that night up.

660
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:25,640
But that night we seen 13 coons sitting up and we didn't tree a single one.

661
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,200
That's terrible.

662
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,480
Yeah, that's rough.

663
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:30,480
That's rough.

664
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:36,800
But going back to what you were saying, I mean, I know that you hunt with some dogs

665
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,480
that have over a hundred, $200,000 in earnings all the time.

666
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,480
Yup.

667
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:46,320
But you get to hunt wheels against those, that caliber of dog.

668
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,800
And I'm not saying that, you know, Oh, wheels is going to go in there and you know, he's

669
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,120
going to win, you know, even 60% of his gas.

670
00:38:55,120 --> 00:39:02,200
But to think that wheels couldn't go in there, slide into a $6,500 hunt and win a night or

671
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:07,400
two, you know, if you, if he was given the opportunity, I mean, I think he's got all

672
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,000
the capabilities in the world.

673
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,000
Yeah, he does.

674
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,000
And, and I do.

675
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,960
And I get to hunt with some really, really nice dogs up here that are getting pushed

676
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,640
all over the country and wheels is competitive.

677
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,240
You know, I mean, he holds his own.

678
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:19,240
Don't get me wrong.

679
00:39:19,240 --> 00:39:22,520
There's nights where he gets throttled and there's nights where he does the throttling.

680
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,900
Like it's just the back and forth, you know, but the perfect example is like our buddy

681
00:39:25,900 --> 00:39:32,200
Colton Britton, you know, he took that Owen dog out a little money and he got a wild hair

682
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,920
up his butt and he got a $6,500 entry fee.

683
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,660
And he said, all right, I'm going.

684
00:39:37,660 --> 00:39:40,200
He got Kai Roberts to handling.

685
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,240
And guess what?

686
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:45,800
He got in one night, you know, like, okay, good for him.

687
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:46,800
Yeah.

688
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,240
And that's just a dog who doesn't go to very many big hunts.

689
00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:50,480
It's just not.

690
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,480
So it can be done.

691
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:52,760
I mean, anybody can do it.

692
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,680
If you, I mean, if you want to gamble, that's what it is.

693
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:55,680
It's a gamble.

694
00:39:55,680 --> 00:40:00,800
I'm just not into it, but Hey, let's, let's go back to some analytics here.

695
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,560
I got the top three podcasts from our first year pulled up.

696
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:10,320
Can you name any of the top three?

697
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:17,280
Oh, so I'm going to say that none of the top, none of the ones that we said were top three.

698
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:22,640
So no, the closest one, the closest one that I said the written Houndsman is one, two,

699
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,600
three, four, five, six.

700
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,040
Sixth on the list is the written Houndsman.

701
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:34,880
What about I'm going to, I'm going to go out on a limb and say, what about the?

702
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:39,560
The battle of the brides with Wayne Leaver.

703
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,480
Yes.

704
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:48,320
So that is titled huge pro sport announcement, moon pies and chicken thighs.

705
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:49,960
Yes, sir.

706
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:54,320
What numbers that that is number one.

707
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:55,640
Can you guess numbers?

708
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,360
Can you guess numbers two and three?

709
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,920
I doubt it, but the top, okay.

710
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:08,320
The top three episodes are separated only by 20 downloads.

711
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,560
Let's see here.

712
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:20,320
So if moon pies and chicken thighs was number one, would number two, I'm just going to,

713
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,040
I'm just going to roll right on.

714
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,400
Would number two be the, um, the follow-up?

715
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,320
It was not, uh, whenever we, when we announced the big dog.

716
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,320
Nope.

717
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:31,320
Nope.

718
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:32,320
Nope.

719
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,960
All right.

720
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,960
One more, one more, one more.

721
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:37,960
Hmm.

722
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:42,120
I ain't got one in my mind.

723
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,120
Okay.

724
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,120
Shoot.

725
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:49,980
Number two was Jason Hines and Chad Spradlin national champs, autumn Oaks and split tree

726
00:41:49,980 --> 00:41:52,200
and trigger was the episode.

727
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:53,800
I forgot about that one.

728
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:54,800
Okay.

729
00:41:54,800 --> 00:42:00,800
I will say the episode for our first year that slides into number three and all time

730
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,800
downloads comes as, comes as a surprise to me.

731
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,640
I will say that I did not expect this to be at the top.

732
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:15,440
It is the episode titled Chad McCoyne, black river, black and tans.

733
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:16,440
Okay.

734
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:21,040
So there's only 20, 20 downloads separate number one and number three.

735
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,600
I thought those are interesting statistics.

736
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:27,320
And like I said, I did not expect the Chad McCoyne episode to be number three, but black

737
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:28,320
dog was slid in.

738
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:29,480
I wouldn't have either.

739
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:37,080
I wouldn't either just because, you know, just because the reason why I think that the

740
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:43,120
moon pies and chicken thighs really one was, you know, uh, the following that lane gets,

741
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:47,640
but also because it was a announcement for pro sport.

742
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:48,640
Yep.

743
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,360
So I think that really, I think that really helped.

744
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:58,680
Um, and then also with trigger being a national champion, you know, that helped push him up.

745
00:42:58,680 --> 00:42:59,680
But I would agree.

746
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:06,680
The, the one with Chad McCoyne, just because it's not a, it's not a, there's, you're not

747
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:12,440
talking about a specific huge win or a huge event.

748
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:13,440
Right.

749
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,280
It's literally just showcasing his line of dogs.

750
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:17,800
There's a line of black dogs.

751
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:18,800
Yeah.

752
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:19,800
Yes.

753
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:20,800
So I agree.

754
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:25,440
That's a big shout out to Chad and everything that he's accomplished, you know, with his

755
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:32,200
line of dogs is that he's, you know, just talking about him and his line of dogs, you

756
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,400
know, he's third on the, uh, on the analytics.

757
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:37,920
So that's pretty, that's pretty cool.

758
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:38,920
It is cool.

759
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:39,920
Man.

760
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,200
I really wish my kids would quit running in and out of here and shutting that door.

761
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:43,200
That's driving me crazy.

762
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,200
All right.

763
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:48,560
Let's talk a couple other things coming up.

764
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,480
The PKC world qualifiers that are coming up.

765
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:52,480
Yes, sir.

766
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:56,720
I got me a hired handler for the first time.

767
00:43:56,720 --> 00:43:57,720
Look out guys.

768
00:43:57,720 --> 00:43:59,400
And let me tell you, let me tell you something.

769
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:04,520
I called PKC yesterday and confirmed that entry and Brandy Fields goes, Oh boy, you're

770
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:10,040
scraping the bottom of the barrel there.

771
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:15,480
So my buddy, Bryce, my buddy, Bryce called me up and he said, I've got a dilemma.

772
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,600
I said, what is it?

773
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,720
He said, I am flying to Florida to be in a wedding.

774
00:44:21,720 --> 00:44:28,560
The weekend of, of, um, PKC world qualifiers.

775
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:29,800
He said, what are you hunting?

776
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,080
And I said, I mean, take your pit.

777
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,040
I mean, I've got buddy.

778
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,040
I can hunt.

779
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:37,040
I've got spot.

780
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:38,040
I can hunt.

781
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:39,280
I mean, buzz.

782
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:40,280
I can hunt.

783
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:41,280
I mean, no buzz.

784
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:42,280
I can't hunt.

785
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:46,320
Uh, cause I didn't, I didn't win nothing last year with him.

786
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:59,000
Um, so I just, Bryce has always been there for me whenever I needed him to handle a dog

787
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,720
specifically, um, Friday night of autumn Oaks.

788
00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:08,600
Um, he let Nikki, uh, handle wheels and he took old spot out and handled.

789
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:15,760
So, you know, it's always been in my head that, you know, obviously we're not friends

790
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,720
that we need to repay each other.

791
00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:20,720
But, um, I told him, I said, you know what?

792
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:26,440
I kind of worked out perfect because he's going to be flying out of Evansville.

793
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,920
So he's, you know, that's the only thing I told him.

794
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:33,480
I said, man, if we did do this, how the heck would I even get the dog?

795
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,840
And he said, would you know it?

796
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,720
I'm actually flying out of Evansville.

797
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:40,760
So I've got to drive down there anyways.

798
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,400
And then I'm leaving on Sunday to go home.

799
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,920
And so it just, it works perfect.

800
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:46,960
He's coming down anyways.

801
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,800
So I said, go ahead, bring wheels down.

802
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:55,440
Um, and I will take him to junction Illinois on Friday and Saturday.

803
00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:01,840
And hopefully it's just Friday and we can double up and then, um, move him on to Friday

804
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,080
night at the world.

805
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,080
Absolutely, man.

806
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,120
Like that, that's super exciting for me.

807
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:12,360
Like obviously I'd love to hunt the dog myself, but to know that he's not going to get it,

808
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,640
he's not going to have to sit out, you know, like it's nice.

809
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,280
Like you said, we're not friends that has to repay each other for nothing.

810
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:19,920
It never has been, never will be like that.

811
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:24,680
But it's like, it was so nice to be able to call you and be like, Hey, I'm in a dilemma.

812
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:25,680
Can you help?

813
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:27,480
And it's like, yep, sure can.

814
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:31,600
You know, cause I actually triple booked myself for that weekend and how I did that, I don't

815
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:32,600
know.

816
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:33,600
I got the wedding.

817
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:38,940
I'm in in Florida, the PKC world qualifiers and then how's that supposed to work a trade

818
00:46:38,940 --> 00:46:41,600
show for work in Indianapolis that weekend.

819
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,680
I've triple booked.

820
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,920
I'm like, Oh boy.

821
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,120
Like I'm in a mess.

822
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:51,240
So man, I'm pumped though, because here, here's where I'm hoping.

823
00:46:51,240 --> 00:46:53,680
Hold up, hold up real quick.

824
00:46:53,680 --> 00:47:02,800
So this was told to me, this was told to me one day, a while ago might've been or might

825
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:09,120
have not have been Thanksgiving night that I needed to get with your secretary prior

826
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:15,120
to the events and make sure that I booked going hunting on Thanksgiving night that I

827
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:16,800
didn't get with your secretary long enough.

828
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,720
So I think because you triple book, I think your secretary needs fired.

829
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:21,840
I agree.

830
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,840
She probably does 100%.

831
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:29,520
We're going to, we're going to do that after this pocket and go ahead and go fire her.

832
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,240
Let me know how that goes.

833
00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:36,000
I'm sure, I'm sure there'll be a grievance filed immediately.

834
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Absolutely.

835
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,960
She'll go find her committee men.

836
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:46,080
No, but so what I, what I was getting at with like the pain each other back, like I'm hoping

837
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,880
that karma just go ahead, goes ahead and does it for us.

838
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:53,760
You know, the last time you asked me to hunt a dog, not the last time.

839
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,280
Oh, here we go.

840
00:47:55,280 --> 00:48:00,240
You know, the last time Basham said, Hey, like I got too many dogs to hunt.

841
00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:03,040
Like can you, can you please help me out in a pinch?

842
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,680
I'm struggling to find somebody to handle the dog.

843
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:10,560
I was like, you know what, Basham we're good buddies and I will do that for you.

844
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,240
I will hunt a dog for you.

845
00:48:13,240 --> 00:48:14,240
And wouldn't you know it?

846
00:48:14,240 --> 00:48:17,160
We went on and got fifth in the world that year.

847
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:23,320
So I'm hoping Basham that not only will you have the same good karma and fortune that

848
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:29,240
I was blessed with, I'm hoping that it, it, it rains down on you and you succeed and do

849
00:48:29,240 --> 00:48:30,600
better than I did.

850
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,400
Cause that's the kind of friend that I am for you.

851
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,760
I want you to do better than me.

852
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:39,760
I never saw that dog again.

853
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,920
He, uh, he went on the, he went on the four cell block.

854
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,680
Oh my goodness gracious.

855
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:53,520
He went on the four cell block and now he's, he's on platinum ridge.

856
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,960
Now he's 145, 150,000.

857
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:56,960
It's wild.

858
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:57,960
Isn't it?

859
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:58,960
Wow.

860
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,840
I remember that pup when he was 12 months old.

861
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:02,840
It's so wild.

862
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,960
I hated that dog.

863
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:05,960
Yeah.

864
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,240
But like I said, I hate all of them that age.

865
00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:10,560
I'm just, I'm just that kind of guy and that kind of friend.

866
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:16,120
I'm hoping you all, all the fame, fortune and good blessings that can come your way.

867
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:22,640
And see that's, that's always my dilemma is for me, it's not even just that hunt.

868
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,640
You know, it's super stagy Nash.

869
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:26,920
No super stakes.

870
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,920
Uh, actually I helped myself out.

871
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:29,920
Star got sold.

872
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:35,360
So now all I've got now, all I've got is buzz.

873
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:36,360
Gotcha.

874
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:41,240
So, so that kind of helped me out with, you know, you, you already know my dilemma.

875
00:49:41,240 --> 00:49:47,680
My dilemma is, is I've got two dogs and I'll tell anybody and it don't matter.

876
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,160
Uh, Bryce knows me.

877
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,120
I'm pretty confident in my dog's ability.

878
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:59,040
I'll put, I mean, spot and buddy both can go to any hunt tonight and win any hunt.

879
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,880
It's just, I mean, that's just what it is.

880
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:07,040
Um, they're proven both of them, either one of them.

881
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,600
I'm not saying they're the best.

882
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:15,880
I'm saying that either one of them can go to any hunt and compete and win any hunt that

883
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:16,880
you put them in.

884
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:17,880
Right.

885
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:25,240
And so, uh, giving them that opportunity, it's kind of the ones that really stink is

886
00:50:25,240 --> 00:50:30,800
like Friday night at autumn Oaks where they both have to hunt.

887
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:31,800
Yep.

888
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:38,760
Cause the problem is, and Bryce will attest to this and hopefully wheels is not like this,

889
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:45,240
but spot does not handle for brought for anybody right now.

890
00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:47,400
And I'm not saying he couldn't.

891
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:54,480
I think it would take someone taking spot and hunting him and getting him used to same

892
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,120
way with buddy.

893
00:50:56,120 --> 00:51:01,640
Buddy just doesn't, he doesn't act the same like Mark hunted him and don't get me wrong.

894
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:09,600
Mark done a great job with him, but you know, it's like having wheels.

895
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:17,920
Wheels will hunt for anybody, but he will give an extra or you.

896
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:18,920
Right.

897
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,280
And it's been a while since he's hunted for anybody other than me.

898
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:23,280
You know?

899
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,480
I mean, between me and Nikki and Colton, like anybody other than our family, he hasn't been

900
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:27,480
shipped around a bunch.

901
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,920
You know, he had that little, he had that one little stint there where he went to cost

902
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,920
them for a week.

903
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,880
You know, Brandon loved him the first three nights that he had him and hated him the last

904
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:38,880
three that he had him.

905
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,760
So is what it is.

906
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,560
We'll find out.

907
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:43,560
So we'll see.

908
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:48,440
But that's what I'm getting at is for me, the bigger hunts are just kind of, it's kind

909
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,640
of a dilemma because I've got a couple of different dogs that I could push, but back

910
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:57,600
to their original thing at hand, you know, Bryce called me and there was no question.

911
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:03,940
You know, it's something I know that during the week long world hunt, I can find a way

912
00:52:03,940 --> 00:52:07,840
to get over there and hunt and hunt the two that I have.

913
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:15,640
So me thinking numbers wise, if I give wheels two nights, give spot two nights and buddy

914
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,280
two nights, they all get the same amount of opportunity.

915
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,760
That's a fair shake for everybody.

916
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:30,320
So that's kind of my plan, but kind of going full circle since we've kind of rambled on

917
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:34,400
pretty nice on this one.

918
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:35,400
Bryce called me.

919
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:36,400
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

920
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:37,400
Let's let's talk about this.

921
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,080
Let's talk about, hold on, hold on before I call it.

922
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,280
Let's talk about the situation that you're currently in.

923
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:46,000
I mean, you're bashings in the middle of a gosh darn ice storm.

924
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,800
Nope, no power.

925
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:55,040
But he's sitting here recording a podcast with power and I was mind blown by this.

926
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:59,840
Everybody on my road has power.

927
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:05,640
Everybody I will not have power for a very long time.

928
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,120
A limb fell on my.

929
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:16,400
So for those that are in the electrical field and asked me how come your electric line is

930
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:22,120
still overhead and not ran underground like everybody else is, it's because the electric

931
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:30,480
company that I belong to will not allow me to go under because my transformer for my

932
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:38,960
house is across the road and because of the trees, it literally sits right on the road.

933
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:44,840
And so there's they don't want to go into trying to bore under the road because they

934
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:52,640
would have to get out of way because underneath the asphalt, you it's not straight down.

935
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,720
The road doesn't go straight down the asphalt.

936
00:53:54,720 --> 00:53:57,000
It kind of goes out, right?

937
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,740
Builds up.

938
00:53:58,740 --> 00:54:03,240
And so they would what I was told is they would have to go out at least eight to 10

939
00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:08,800
foot and you can't because there's an embankment on the other side with trees and everything

940
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:09,920
else.

941
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:14,840
So they told me that boring under the road and bring the power underground is not an

942
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:16,480
option for me.

943
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:17,480
Lucky me.

944
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:23,160
So during this ice storm, a limb fell.

945
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:30,840
It ripped the neutral out of the transformer and a phase off of my line.

946
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:41,040
So I've got one it's still as of right now, it's still hot.

947
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:50,080
A vehicle can literally on my side of the road drive and their antenna, their radio

948
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,480
antenna would hit the wire.

949
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:56,240
That's like I'll post some pictures in a little bit.

950
00:54:56,240 --> 00:54:58,200
Me and Jocelyn were out cleaning up.

951
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:03,440
It literally looks like a tornado went through my yard.

952
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:08,760
We spent about five hours drag and I'm not talking one by one.

953
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:15,120
I'd roll up with a full wheeler, which I ran her over with a full wheeler.

954
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,440
Good job, dad.

955
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:23,360
So this will go all into my current situation.

956
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:28,580
So we went without power.

957
00:55:28,580 --> 00:55:33,280
So I've never been one to get a generator where I live at.

958
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,480
I live close enough to town.

959
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:42,140
We're probably in zone one of the substation zone too, because we literally never lose

960
00:55:42,140 --> 00:55:43,200
power.

961
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:44,800
I mean, we just don't.

962
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:49,280
It's like right now, like I said, everybody on my road has power.

963
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:54,040
So we don't, I just live close enough to town and close enough to the substation that we

964
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:55,800
just don't lose power.

965
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:57,600
So I don't ever have a generator.

966
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:06,660
We lost power from a tornado this past year for like maybe four or five hours.

967
00:56:06,660 --> 00:56:11,000
So this is a part that fascinates Bryce guys.

968
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,320
It does a hundred percent.

969
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,360
Listen up now, take notes.

970
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:19,280
So at the time, Bryce called me and he said, Hey, what's going on?

971
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,280
Haven't talked to you, blah, blah, blah.

972
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:25,480
And I told him, Oh, you know, just trying to keep the house up and warm since we don't

973
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:26,840
have power.

974
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:27,840
He said, crap.

975
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,040
And he said, you ain't got power.

976
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:30,040
He said, it's going to get cold.

977
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,360
I said, no, I'm still running my heater.

978
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,880
And he goes, well, how you run your heater if you don't have power?

979
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:40,400
And I told him, I said, well, actually I'm running it off of my truck.

980
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:41,400
Hold on.

981
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:42,400
No, no, no, no.

982
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:43,720
He said, don't you know, son?

983
00:56:43,720 --> 00:56:45,000
I'm an electrician.

984
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,000
I make power.

985
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:49,960
I told him, I said, I'm an electrician.

986
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:50,960
I make power.

987
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,080
And he said, well, how did you make power?

988
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,720
And I said, well, I'm running my house off my truck.

989
00:56:56,720 --> 00:56:59,080
And he said, now what?

990
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:01,060
And he did like a double take.

991
00:57:01,060 --> 00:57:05,880
Like he even had to go get his dad so he could have a witness.

992
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:06,880
I did.

993
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:07,880
So what I was about to say.

994
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:08,880
Yeah.

995
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:09,880
My parents were up here.

996
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:10,880
We had just got back from Grand American.

997
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,880
They'd watched the kids for five days for us.

998
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:14,680
So my parents were staying one more night up here.

999
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:15,680
I said, dad, I said, you got it.

1000
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:16,680
I said, hold on.

1001
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:17,680
I said, listen to this.

1002
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,440
I said, Bats was talking crazy.

1003
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:28,840
So I'll tell everybody what I did was a while back, I went to O'Reilly's and I bought me

1004
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:33,960
a 4,000 watt inverter.

1005
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:40,240
And all an inverter is, is it takes direct current and turns it into alternating current

1006
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:41,240
AC.

1007
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,520
AC turns it into AC.

1008
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:47,680
So this, the one that I have is a big one.

1009
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:52,320
It's got four, 110 outlets.

1010
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,520
It's got double power negative cables.

1011
00:57:55,520 --> 00:58:02,160
So what you do is start your truck up and you put your negatives on your negatives.

1012
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,200
You put your pot, which I'm different.

1013
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:11,760
And for those out there that don't know when you jump a vehicle, you're not supposed to

1014
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:15,520
put the black on the negative of the battery.

1015
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:22,280
You put it on the ground post of your vehicle where it's grounded, not on the battery.

1016
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:28,040
So I took my black, put it on the ground post, put my positive.

1017
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:34,040
Now, now I'm pushing power to my inverter and I ran.

1018
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,920
I take took a number eight.

1019
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,360
No, that's number 10.

1020
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:49,640
I took a number 10 heavy duty extension cord and I cut the female end off of it.

1021
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,800
So I wired a male end onto it.

1022
00:58:52,800 --> 00:59:00,760
So now I've got a 40 foot number 10 heavy duty extension cord with two male ends.

1023
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:08,720
I plug one male in into the inverter and I run the extension cord through the window.

1024
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:12,800
And here's the part that Bryce was like, what?

1025
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:18,920
I plug it in to a receptacle in the kitchen.

1026
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:24,040
So if you're thinking about it in layman's terms, now before you put it on, hold on,

1027
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,400
hold on before you plug it in, you got to have all your breakers in your main turned

1028
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:28,400
off, right?

1029
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:29,920
Yeah, I'll get to that point.

1030
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:36,680
So in layman's terms, regular power, think of it like this power comes from the pole

1031
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:44,080
outside your house, comes into your house, into your panel box, through your main down

1032
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:45,440
in two.

1033
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:54,100
It's got two buses down into your panel and each bus in your panel, it feeds whatever

1034
00:59:54,100 --> 00:59:56,120
breakers you have, right?

1035
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:57,120
Yep.

1036
00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:01,640
So what we're going to do guys is we're going to go backwards.

1037
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:11,520
Now do not do this unless you call somebody and know what you're doing because you literally,

1038
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:20,400
one, you can burn your house down to, and this is the most important, you can kill somebody.

1039
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:24,800
You can kill, kill alignment if you don't do it correctly.

1040
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:31,520
Because when you're pushing that voltage back, if you do not have the main shut off and that

1041
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:38,920
lineman goes and climbs up that pole and you're pushing power backwards, what's going to happen?

1042
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:40,640
Zap, zap.

1043
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:41,640
Yes.

1044
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,640
And if he's that far up in the air, who knows, he falls.

1045
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:49,040
Cause I mean, 110 is not going to kill you, but you just never know.

1046
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,080
You just never know.

1047
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:57,640
So I'm telling you guys what I did, do not take it upon yourself to do what I did without

1048
01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:59,000
knowing what you're doing.

1049
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:06,640
So what I did was I went to my panel, I shut off the main, I undid the neutral, taped it

1050
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:13,720
up because anybody that knows the breaker does not cut the neutral.

1051
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,960
It just cuts the hot feed coming into your panel.

1052
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:19,480
So I took the neutral out.

1053
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:26,880
So now I've got a extension cord that has a male end that is plugged into my inverter.

1054
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,720
So now my inverter is my source of power.

1055
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:31,880
I bring it in through the window.

1056
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,740
I plug it into the receptacle.

1057
01:01:34,740 --> 01:01:39,880
When I plug it into that receptacle, think of just breaking it down Barney style.

1058
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:47,720
If I plug it into a receptacle, everything that that receptacle is connected to now has

1059
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:49,640
power.

1060
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:58,080
So it runs all the way back to the panel and whatever side bus, whatever side that breaker

1061
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:06,680
is on, all of the breakers that are on that face, that bus is going to have the same power.

1062
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:10,280
So I shut all my breakers off, everything.

1063
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:15,880
I turn on the breaker for the receptacle that I'm plugged into.

1064
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,360
So what does that allow it to do?

1065
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,040
It's just like a light switch.

1066
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:23,400
I've got power coming into the breaker and it stops because I've got that breaker turned

1067
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:24,560
off.

1068
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:29,200
I turn that breaker on and now that powers on that bus.

1069
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:35,080
So I turn that breaker on and I turn my furnace breaker on because I am lucky.

1070
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:38,360
I have gas heat.

1071
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:43,200
All I need to do is run the blower for the gas furnace.

1072
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:48,800
That's all I need to do, the controls and the burner, which is 15 amps.

1073
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:50,140
That's all I need to run.

1074
01:02:50,140 --> 01:02:58,240
So I turn the furnace on and I turn the receptacle, the ones that I have on.

1075
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,480
Well 4,000 watts.

1076
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,680
I mean you're only looking at 110.

1077
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:08,480
You're only looking at like 25, 30 amps.

1078
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:13,280
So me being an electrician, I know, hey, you know what, I still got quite a few amps that

1079
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:14,280
I can use.

1080
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:20,600
So basically what I did is minimum is what I did was I ran my refrigerator.

1081
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,560
I ran my furnace.

1082
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:27,120
I ran the living room and the kitchen lights and that's all I turned on.

1083
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:33,400
And so for the first day or two, we ran the, that's what we ran off of my truck.

1084
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:35,200
I thought that was so cool.

1085
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,200
Literally powering the house with the truck.

1086
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:39,200
I mean, don't get me wrong.

1087
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:43,800
I'm burning gas because your truck's got to stay running because the alternator is the

1088
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:44,920
one doing the job.

1089
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:52,200
And yes, it is harder on your alternator, but in a pinch, which I was in because we're

1090
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:57,520
talking 20 degree weather, you know, I don't want my kids to freeze.

1091
01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:59,960
I don't want the house to freeze.

1092
01:03:59,960 --> 01:04:04,160
So in a pinch, I said, you know what, this is what we're going to do.

1093
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:11,560
Well now that, now that we are, and there's two different ways you can do what I'm about

1094
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,640
to tell you to do.

1095
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:18,440
Now that I know that we're going to be a little bit more longevity in this, I went out and

1096
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:20,800
purchased a generator.

1097
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:24,780
Now there's two ways you can do this.

1098
01:04:24,780 --> 01:04:27,800
You can either, well, there's three ways you can do it.

1099
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:31,880
You can do it the a hundred percent right way, which is, you know, a disconnect, blah,

1100
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:35,360
blah, blah, a transfer switch.

1101
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:39,760
So you can do it the right way or there's two other ways you can do it.

1102
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:44,920
It kind of is all depending on the layout of your electrical box.

1103
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:52,280
It just so happens that my electrical box is right in front of the meter, which is right

1104
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:53,280
next to my house.

1105
01:04:53,280 --> 01:05:01,040
And I've already got a, a condolet, which is a box coming out of the meter because it

1106
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,920
runs electric down to my dog kennels.

1107
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:10,720
So all I did was, is I just opened up the cover, brought the wire from the generator

1108
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:19,360
into my electrical panel, unhooked my 30 amp double pole breaker for my AC plugged in my

1109
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:25,840
generator, which my main and my neutrals already shut off and unplugged turn on that.

1110
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:33,120
And now because that one is 75,000 or 7,500 Watts, I'm literally running my whole house.

1111
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:36,200
Like the wife just cooked on the stove.

1112
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:37,760
I've got hot water.

1113
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:40,120
We just ran the dryer.

1114
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:44,880
Like I mean, we're other than hearing the buzzing in the background.

1115
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:46,000
I mean, don't get me wrong.

1116
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:51,000
If I tried to run everything at once, it wouldn't do it.

1117
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,920
But as long as I have it in my head, Hey, we're running the stove.

1118
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:58,880
We can't run the hot water or Hey, we're running the hot water.

1119
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,200
We can't run the dryer.

1120
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:05,120
And I just keep, you know, Hey, if she says, Hey, I need to run the dryer.

1121
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,960
I'll go over to the breaker box and I know what we need to run.

1122
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:16,720
But another way that you can do it is you put the twist lock to 240 plug on it, plug

1123
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:18,320
it into the generator.

1124
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:23,760
On the other end of it, you put a dryer plug.

1125
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:31,240
Put that plug, unplug your dryer, put that plug into the dryer plug, go to your panel,

1126
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:40,680
shut everything off, turn on your dryer breaker box or turn on your dryer breaker and that

1127
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,780
produces 240 to the whole panel.

1128
01:06:43,780 --> 01:06:50,720
So now you can pick and choose which, what you want to run on that generator.

1129
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,440
Yeah, that's pretty sweet.

1130
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:56,480
And all you're doing is just backfeeding into the house.

1131
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:58,040
Yeah, I just thought it.

1132
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:01,720
I mean, you know, like my grandma, she's got to generate at the house or something goes

1133
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:02,720
wrong.

1134
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:04,000
Just plug the generator in, fire it up.

1135
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:05,000
Good to go.

1136
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:06,320
You know, that's great.

1137
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,640
But I've never thought about using your vehicle as a generator.

1138
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,600
I'm like, man, that's pretty slick in a pinch.

1139
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:18,640
So in a pinch, in a pinch, you can literally now here's where I would have been screwed.

1140
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:25,800
If I had an electric heat, it wouldn't have worked.

1141
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:27,700
Right.

1142
01:07:27,700 --> 01:07:32,040
You need about a 10,000 watt, even the one I have right now probably wouldn't work on

1143
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:33,720
an electric furnace.

1144
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:38,840
You need about nine or 10,000 watt generator to run an electric furnace.

1145
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:39,840
Yeah.

1146
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:43,840
But I mean, you know, somebody can plug in a couple of space heaters and stuff and stay,

1147
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:48,520
you know, stay not maybe not comfortable, but you ain't gonna freeze to death.

1148
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:56,720
For me, if, if I was in a pinch, um, rather than use space heaters, this is just me.

1149
01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:02,160
And I understand they do put off a little bit of a smell, but if it was me, I would

1150
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:05,560
run everything else that I need.

1151
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,400
A hot water, everything else.

1152
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:15,040
And I would use kerosene heaters in a pitch because I'm telling you those electric space

1153
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,560
heaters, man, they draw.

1154
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:19,960
It's like a big hairdryer.

1155
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:25,080
And if you know anything about hairdryers, they'll be the first thing to pop an outlet.

1156
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:26,080
Yep.

1157
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,480
They'll be the first thing to pop a receptacle, a breaker.

1158
01:08:29,480 --> 01:08:34,120
You have to go to the dang breaker box and flip a, because the wife done tried to use

1159
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:38,840
a curling iron and a, and a freaking hairdryer all at the same time while she's trying to

1160
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:45,960
microwave and it pops a breaker happens all the darn time because they pull so many amps

1161
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:49,480
and those space heaters, they're about, they're not much better.

1162
01:08:49,480 --> 01:08:54,600
So for me, I like to do, if I was in a pinch, I would do a kerosene.

1163
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:55,600
Yep.

1164
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:56,600
Is what I would do.

1165
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:57,600
Yep.

1166
01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:58,600
All right, buddy.

1167
01:08:58,600 --> 01:08:59,600
Well, Hey, like I said, this has been fun.

1168
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,640
I, uh, I've appreciated this last year, man.

1169
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:03,640
It's been a good time.

1170
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:06,920
I'm ready to see what 2025 has in store.

1171
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:08,040
Yeah.

1172
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,800
Like I said, you know, just getting back at it.

1173
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:11,800
You going to winter classic?

1174
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:12,800
I am.

1175
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:13,800
Yep.

1176
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:14,800
Be down there, baseball, Mississippi.

1177
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:15,800
I'll be there.

1178
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:16,800
I'm not sure.

1179
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:20,640
I have not thought that far.

1180
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:28,040
Um, I would say it would not surprise me if I was at the a hundred thousand dollar hunt,

1181
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:35,000
but right now I can't see past tomorrow because of that, you know, because of everything going

1182
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:36,400
on in my life right now.

1183
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:37,400
I hear you.

1184
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:39,600
Uh, I don't really know.

1185
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:41,720
I don't really know what next week holds.

1186
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:47,000
So we're just trying to take it one day at a time and hopefully that we'll get power

1187
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:50,680
back on and we can start the cleanup.

1188
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,600
As you'll see, I'm on post pictures in a little bit.

1189
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:57,720
Man Jocelyn worked for like four or five hours and we didn't even make a dent.

1190
01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:58,720
Yeah, man.

1191
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:04,080
That's rough, but it's going to be, it's going to be a big cleanup, but I appreciate you,

1192
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:05,080
bud.

1193
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:07,240
Appreciate all your hard work, all your dedication.

1194
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,280
I appreciate your friendship.

1195
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:14,000
Um, great, great in my opinion.

1196
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:23,000
Uh, I guess maybe monetarily I could have thought of us going a lot further, you know,

1197
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:32,080
as far as making it a business, but from a friendship side of it, I don't think this

1198
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:33,880
podcast could have went any better.

1199
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:35,080
No, no, absolutely not.

1200
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:39,280
You know, and we, we, we, we left ourselves with some pretty lofty goals there whenever

1201
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:40,280
we first started.

1202
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,840
And like you said, I mean, we, but we said from the beginning, this, this whole thing

1203
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:48,960
was just two guys having fun, you know, talking dogs and that's what we've done.

1204
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:50,880
You know, we've held true to that.

1205
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:55,480
Um, could we have pushed it a little harder, done some more things to make it more professional

1206
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:56,480
in business?

1207
01:10:56,480 --> 01:10:57,480
Like, absolutely.

1208
01:10:57,480 --> 01:10:58,920
We could have, is that out of the question down the road?

1209
01:10:58,920 --> 01:10:59,920
No, it's not.

1210
01:10:59,920 --> 01:11:04,080
But you know, right now, this is, this is fun what we're doing.

1211
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,600
And you know, some people say, we just get on here and ramble back and forth.

1212
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:07,600
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1213
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:08,600
That's fine.

1214
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:12,040
My wife says the same thing, but some people really enjoy it, you know?

1215
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,400
And uh, so that's, that's where it's at for me.

1216
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:16,040
I really enjoy the dog and Tuesdays.

1217
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:17,040
Those are fun.

1218
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:19,320
Uh, I've just had, had a lot of, had a lot of fun doing this.

1219
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:21,600
So you know, always dog and simple dog.

1220
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:23,800
And it means, it means a lot to both of us.

1221
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:24,800
Definitely.

1222
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:25,800
All right, buddy.

1223
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:29,480
Well, I'm going to wrap this thing up and I'm going to go take care of my farm animals

1224
01:11:29,480 --> 01:11:34,360
cause uh, it's 19 degrees pitch black dark outside and I still got chores to do.

1225
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:36,680
So yeah, I took care of all of mine.

1226
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:38,640
That's why I was a little bit late getting on here.

1227
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:39,640
Yeah.

1228
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:41,520
I still got goats to feed and cows to water and all that good stuff.

1229
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:45,840
So I'm going to go get that done and get me some, get me some sleep.

1230
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:46,840
I'm going to get me some dinner.

1231
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:47,840
10 four buddy.

1232
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:48,840
All right.

1233
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:52,360
Well guys, from bash when I hear a simple dog and we appreciate everything you guys do

1234
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:53,360

Uh, tell you a little bit about how to, how to save yourself in a pinch.

Uh, all here from simple dog and a full disclosures.
