Introduction and Excitement for Episode Four

00:00:14
Speaker
What's going on, guys? We're back. Episode four. We got Whit, got my main man, Drew, and got the long-haired rebel Jake with us here. How y'all boys doing? What's up? What's up? What's going on, boys? Good to hear from you, Cole.
00:00:33
Speaker
Oh yeah.

Dog Stories and Hunting Anecdotes

00:00:34
Speaker
We're talking about my favorite thing today, boys, and that is dogs. Who loves some dogs? I've been chasing them all week. Not, not as much as I wanted to, cause I've been on call for work, but I still, I still try to slip some hunts in. Yeah. I work on them all week and then I get home and I got five to chase around and yell at. I get pretty good at it.
00:01:02
Speaker
Isn't that XP in? It's like leveling up in Call of Duty out here. Yeah, if you got a hound, it is levels. Yeah, I got four kids, you know, and I can only imagine, you know, five dogs. You know, the only good thing is that they don't talk back. So that's something you can put them in a kennel to just leave them. They don't listen. Yeah, they don't listen. Yeah, mine's five at five.
00:01:33
Speaker
Close the door and put a cover over. I bet, I'm calling it right now. I bet Drew has six kids. Dang. I ain't got that many toes to count. I have six kids. Yeah. Well, I don't know about y'alls, but mine, he's been pretty upset with me this year, you know, going in the, you know, after last year, just having one heck of a year.
00:01:57
Speaker
You know, he's writing his prime. He's five years old, but, uh, man, he, uh, he got to do a little work this morning, but boy, he is, uh, you could tell him whenever I leave in the mornings, we ain't going hunting. He just looks at you, stares at you and I feel bad for him, you know? Yeah. Last year was a special year. It's going to be hard to.
00:02:17
Speaker
It's going to be hard to compare anything for that dog. I mean, cause he chased down a bunch of geese. He was, he was all about it. I mean, ace was the one you brought. So if it's a dry field, he's looking good. If it's a halfway muddy field, he's looking good for sure. He's, he's, he's an all-star. He's best dog I probably ever hunted with or ever will.

Memorable Hunting Experiences

00:02:40
Speaker
So I give him props, Cole. You done good on him.
00:02:44
Speaker
I appreciate it. He's got them long legs, man. And, uh, he can cover some grand quick on that, on that open prayer. How many he retrieved last year over a thousand wasn't it? Yeah, I was right there at a thousand. I got it wrote down in my book. It was, uh, right there at a thousand. I mean, and that, that was, uh, it was a year, man. I thought I think in December alone, I mean, I bet he had, you know, that, that November did you send him, but he had seven honored, you know, I mean, uh, but, uh, man, he loved every bit of it.
00:03:13
Speaker
Never had a problem. Um, saved me a lot, a lot of walking, a lot of cripples, you know, that's, I guess that's the biggest thing with geese, you know, you know, ducks, they usually don't travel that far, but golly, it seems like a goose can guide about three fields over. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. You made up for all that walking with all that pacing you did in front of the blind, making sure it looked good.
00:03:36
Speaker
Well, I had to get my steps in, you know, as that Morton stop. So I'm just right back. Desert stomp. That's right. The, I don't know what you're talking about them ducks. The two times I fell all the way in the water was chasing crippled ducks. So yeah. Yeah, man. It's a, he spools me. I don't think I've been on a hunt with him in the last, I've been on one hunt in the last, you know, five years without him.
00:04:06
Speaker
And I felt ashamed that I left him at home. I got invited over to a private place. They had their own dog. You know, I didn't want to, you know, I didn't want to disrespect him. I bring a labradoodle over, you know, but, uh, now man, he, uh, he goes everywhere with me. And, uh, you know, that's the best thing about dogs, you know, they're, uh, like your best friend, you know, and take them everywhere. You know, they're part of you. You know, I know all y'all got dogs, you know, uh, I ain't got nothing like no coon dog, but, uh,
00:04:35
Speaker
I think the only thing y'all coon dogs and my dog got in common is they will chase a deer, son. They will chase a deer. Oh yeah. I mean, the ones that don't know what they're hunting will chase a deer. Let's, let's rephrase that a little bit. Which is 80% of them. So I mean, yeah, they'll chase a deer. You're right. But I mean, talking, we get back on these dogs here shortly, but
00:05:04
Speaker
Just kind of a little update for the podcast in general.

Podcast Plans and Future Discussions

00:05:08
Speaker
Um, I do think that mainly our Sunday episodes going forward, we're going to be round table, multiple ideas. Uh, dogs is, is big topic for today, but we got about 10 different things that we wanted to talk about. We've seen on Facebook, uh, that something happened in the news, et cetera. Um, haven't killed anything, the weekly report. That's kind of what this episode is geared for. Um, and then going forward through the weeks.
00:05:38
Speaker
Especially this week, we're going to start hitting them with hitting everybody with that midweek interview. I think that's going to be a more personal experience. I mean, Cole Shayens had yes, I mean, he knows what I'm talking about. We're going to bring on somebody that has a specialty in some aspect of the outdoors.
00:06:00
Speaker
Uh, it might be, it might be farming. It might be duck hunting. Who knows? So, uh, that's kind of the goal. Keep everybody updated. Um, but kind of back to it, you know, starting the week, has anybody killed anything? Anybody had some good times? What? Go ahead, Jake, go ahead. I was going to say, uh, I ain't killed anything. I've been been chasing red bones around and.
00:06:29
Speaker
My little pup, he's turning into a coyote. I don't know if you'd call it a tracker, but he's real mad at him right now. He was back on my deer feeder the other night, and I heard something trotting through the woods. I was like, man, what is that? Because I thought he was with my other dog. I didn't have a GPS on him.
00:06:54
Speaker
I go back there and shine my light on the deer feeder and there's a six month old red bone pup standing there, just fixing to whoop about four or five coyotes surrounded him. All these eyes were looking at him and coyote see me, they took off in the woods and there he went right after him. I called him back off and he came back and he was, you know, he thought he just won an Olympic medal, but he was proud like he did something. He was glad you were there. Oh yeah.
00:07:24
Speaker
He was holding his ground. And then two days later, we're out on the front porch here and it's right almost dark. And I hear something off in the thick stuff across the road from my house. I'm like, I don't know what that is. Cause I've seen bobcats and all kinds of stuff run through their deer. And the dogs was looking over there like something was over there. I didn't think nothing about it.
00:07:53
Speaker
Well, here come this coyote just right across the road, hit my yard and that little pup, I mean, he kicked it into high gear and was, I thought he was fixing to jump on that things back. And then there they go off through the other patch of woods. And, uh, my dog Reba, she was right there trying to figure out why he was, why he was doing that. And, uh, so that's coyote story number two with that little joker. Well, last night.
00:08:23
Speaker
or the night before last, I can't remember. He was over there walking with me on a little patch of woods and I heard something up on the side of this little mountain. I live below, it's about 700 foot elevation or the mountain or hill, whatever you want to call it.
00:08:51
Speaker
I heard something coming down the mountain. I was like, I think that's a deer. Well, I shined my light and I seen two eyes up there. I'm like, well, it was up on the side of that hill. I couldn't really tell. I was like, that's a deer. So I turned my light back off. Well, then all of a sudden I just hear something running right towards me, full speed. I'm like, what is it? I thought my other dog was chasing that deer down. Well, I turned my light on.
00:09:17
Speaker
And there's a coyote about six feet about to crash into both of us. Is that the video you sent me a picture of? That's right after that happened. Cause I got my phone out. I'm like, this thing's fixing to try to jump on me or something. You know, I don't know what it was doing. You're about to be like that viral video of that guy getting stopped by a mountain lion or something, weren't you? Yeah. I thought I was fixing to have to put this coyote in a full Nelson out there in the middle of the woods. And I was ready to.
00:09:44
Speaker
Yeah. Did you get down in that jiu-jitsu position? Man, I could even get closer. I was thinking. He was already down. He's like a stump. He's already down in position. Man, I was supposed to get Randy Savage on this thing. Well, I turned my light on. I got my phone out because I'm thinking this thing about the, you know, I don't know if he got rabies or what. And then here goes my little pup. Well, he takes off up there. I'm like, well,
00:10:14
Speaker
He's too small to be fighting a coyote anyway. I don't want him chasing coyotes, but I mean, what is he? 50 pounds wet. Yeah, he's not very big, but I want him to, I don't want him to be scared anything either at the same time. So that's right. I let him run off through there. Next thing you know, he just starts just tearing into this thing, opening up. I was like, Oh boy.
00:10:39
Speaker
That's why I cut, that's why I cut my phone off. Cause I was fixing to go over there and judo chop a cow in the neck. So how big do you reckon this cow was? I mean, you know, I know how big y'all's deers over there, you know, so let's get a comparison, you know? Well, I'm going to say, I'm going to say he's on a eight to 10 pine cone a day diet, you know, a little more than the deer are. That's right. That's right.
00:11:06
Speaker
Well, uh, I ain't never heard no stuff like that, Jake. I mean, I'm gonna be honest with you. How does that happen to you that many times in one little week? Dude, there's cows all over here and I can't do nothing about it because I mean, I could shoot them, but there's not very many good places to shoot. I can't set any live traps. Oh, live traps will have all yours in it first. I like you could take a dark good and kill one. They're so close. I mean, what's going on? I'm telling you.
00:11:32
Speaker
This thing, I mean, this thing run up on me. What's, I thought it was a deer. So when I clicked my

Weather and Hunting Challenges

00:11:38
Speaker
light on this thing's right there in my face. I'm like, Oh boy, here we go. I got back in a stance, you know, and hopped around a couple of times and it scared him right off, didn't it? Oh yeah. He, he bounced. But anyway, that's other than just running the dogs. I haven't hunted anything. I seen a deer eating off the corn feeder.
00:12:01
Speaker
This morning, but that's it. That's right. That's right. Yeah, I'll go ahead and take over here. My week's really not been very eventful. I've been doing a lot of remodeling of a house and getting all that taken care of as far as hunting wise.
00:12:21
Speaker
Didn't really do much. I got the chance to go out this weekend with Whit and T-Bird, who's not on here with us today. Hope to get him back soon. And T-Bird's little brother and Whit's little brother, Sam, didn't really have much luck. It was 60 degrees. Found out that I've got two leaks in my waders, which is always a good feeling. Thank goodness it was 60 degrees.
00:12:47
Speaker
Yeah, he, he looked at me, Cole, he said, I wonder how my waders going to leak. I said, they dry rotted. You've been having them bundled up and they've been sitting in a closet. It's called you bought them. You know, I mean, I mean, let's get one thing straight. When you buy waders, I mean, it's a hundred percent guarantee that they're going to leak. I mean, you know, I mean, that's just, that's just what it's all a matter of time. It seems like, you know,
00:13:09
Speaker
I tried patching waders one time. It does not work. You want the little off your story and I'll let you get back at it, Drew, but the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. Y'all ever heard of that shoe goo or whatever that stuff is? It's like, it's like flex seal, you know? Well, flex seal too. My father-in-law, he swears by that crap. He makes good living.
00:13:33
Speaker
And my gosh, he showed up out here and I almost like went to Goodwill and bought him a pair of waiters because I felt sorry for him. He shows up. He's got more shoe goo on his boots than I've ever seen in my entire life. I bet it weighed an extra five pounds per side. And then he's got flex sealed sprayed all down the seams. I'm like, my God. That did not work for me. I tried to flex seal.
00:14:00
Speaker
You might be able to boat on a screen door or whatever that commercial was, but you ain't keeping that crotch from leaking. I just thought that was funny. I'll buy you a can of that, Drew. We'll get the next week. We'll get a report. All right.
00:14:13
Speaker
Yeah, that sounds good. We'll do a test run and maybe they'll sponsor us one video. Who knows? But it was just uneventful. We had a bunch of birds flying, a bunch of geese, a bunch of different ducks flying, and just really wasn't liking what we were putting down. But it was a good time to get out there and get the pit blind with everybody.
00:14:39
Speaker
I do got to tell the story because I think I scared with a little bit out there. So it's been a little while since I've been duck hunting. Probably been a really a good year since I've been. It's probably been over a year since I've shot, you know, I still shot shells or anything like that.
00:14:59
Speaker
Whit's looking at my gun and he kind of pulls the hammer back and on the forearm and was looking at it. And he said, Drew, I think this shell may be a little rusted, buddy. And sure enough, this shell had a bunch of red rust on it. And I need to say, I didn't pull up that Lorna to try to shoot at anything because I was so worried. He asked me before we went, he said, do you have shells? And I said, yeah, I've got shells. I've got plenty of shells.
00:15:30
Speaker
I didn't know he's bringing his grandpa shotgun shells out there. I didn't know how all these things work. Look like he found it with a metal detector in the water. Yeah, we were hunting public and I just took a metal detector out there and found the ones that dropped, you know. You should have seen all this stuff when my brothers pumped out that pit line. I mean, just talk about
00:15:54
Speaker
nasty. There was a turtle in there. I guarantees from the ice age, that sucker was still in there. So, so you're saying you didn't have to help your brothers, did it? Yeah. Did you catch that? I caught all that. Cause I heard that for my life, you know, but I showed up. Well, you got to reap to award finally. He's it's the other way around, ain't it? Yeah. But I mean that pit line drew kind of can be a testament to it. When we were out there,
00:16:23
Speaker
I'm glad I'm not even shorter than I already am because I'm kind of out of the pit blind when I shoot. But if you're down in that thing, when you get to shooting, you better have you some air protection on. I mean, that thing gets. It reverberates in that blind. It's loud. It's unbelievable. Unbelievable. And you get multiple guns in there. Your ear hold. Your ear hold the entire time you're hunting out there.
00:16:46
Speaker
Guarantee yeah, I'm I kind of feel like you should feel that for once with you know Just sit in there while we shoot, you know, why we just you know barely stand up and shoot, you know I think you should feel that repercussion one time. I Can't help it. I'm tall That why them pit blinds and stuck guards so high I guarantee it right price wise I
00:17:12
Speaker
We always talk about comfort and all that other stuff, but they don't ever mention, you better bring some orange earplugs, because it's going to get rained, baby. Yeah, my brother's talking about, let's build a big pit line, custom it out, have us like a cook stove in it, all this mess. I'm like, y'all realize how loud it'd be in there on the cook. That sucker would be, he'd be deaf by the end of the season.
00:17:37
Speaker
Yeah. I think you really need to be able to blind, man. I mean, like, like, you know, not obviously a pit blind, but man, if you've been blind on that levy, I'm talking about a big one where you could cook and stuff. Do you kill ducks there all day? I say above ground, like with the big shooting window. I've seen guys do that, you know, permanent blinds like that. I mean, they work. Yeah, definitely on both sides. I'll start a little GoFundMe on Facebook there, Cole. I'll see you.
00:18:06
Speaker
Well, let's get back to that. Did y'all kill anything, Drew? I mean, you did take the bail, boys. So, I mean, did you really kill anything?
00:18:14
Speaker
Well, just, uh, just time had a good time, but we killed a lot of time. And, uh, uh, you know, we did see quite a few birds and probably should have shot at a few, but you know, uh, what was out there, uh, what was out there portraying that, uh, Oh, spoonzilla, you know, I was waiting for him to put gold teeth on and sit out there and flap his ears around, but didn't quite work out for us. We were hoping for the best on that, but, uh, yeah, I feel like, uh, this week, you know, I went hunting this morning.
00:18:44
Speaker
We killed two greenheads and four woodies on my buddy's property, just butts up to us right here on the river and hopefully we can get him on. He's got some good stories about this new property, but anyways, but I'll tell you what, this weather has not been in our favor of, you know, with this thunderstorm coming through. I mean, these ducks scattered and, you know, it's raining and heck, it was hot today when it got up to like 54. And anyways, it's just,
00:19:10
Speaker
I don't know. It seems like we talk all the time now. I don't know about y'all, but it seems like every time I talk to y'all or some other people, it's just like, I mean, the weather ain't right. The weather ain't right. And it's just been, it seems like it's been that way for three or four years now. And I hope that ain't a new norm. You know, I mean, it just, uh, you know, uh, it ain't, it ain't like it used to be. I know everybody says that, but really, I mean, it's not.
00:19:32
Speaker
I mean, I look at the extended forecast. You look at the next three weeks here in Arkansas, it's like highs are 55 to 65. Oh my gosh, there won't be much killing done at our place anyways. I mean, there's probably people that have benefited from that, but it won't be us. Uh, what we do good from, I mean, mainly fields is all we're hunting this year. Um, that's, I mean, we're wanting to, we wanted it to get really cold.
00:20:02
Speaker
really really cold for three to four days and then we want that thaw down and the next five days after that we'll bust them in the fields i mean just it's that's right you know it's it's uh really been weird to you think about last january in that 12 inches of snow we got last january compared to this year we've got 50 to 60 degree weather um it's it's just been it's just been an off year i think we're really getting a lot warmer i feel like and
00:20:31
Speaker
a little bit of a shift in the climate and everything, but, you know, not to go flat earth on here or anything, but yeah, I mean, it's just, I've never really seen it this hot. Maybe a few days it'll get up there, you know, but it'll come right back down. But the consistency of how warm it's been. And, you know, I just, just, I haven't seen the birds like you normally see, you know, you go down, down the highways and you just really just don't see them like you used to.
00:20:59
Speaker
Yeah. Well, I think that's another topic for, you know, for sure. We could get into, you know, about what, what all we think has changed. And I think there, you know, it's not just one thing, man. I, you know, we can blame it on weather. We can blame it on, you know, whatever we want to these private, um, you know, private people, you know, collect holding ducks, which is fine because it's better for us. But I mean, there's, there's a whole multiple things. We can go on a random about that on another time, but I mean, it's, it's definitely different. And, uh,
00:21:28
Speaker
You know, I, it's something we'll change for. We'll, we'll, we'll be on here two or three years saying we had the best hunt we ever had bullets. Yeah. That's kind of funny. I mean, it feels like our synopsis for the week is we didn't kill anything. So now we're going to blame the weather too. I mean, we gotta have some reason, Jake, you got another reason why we didn't kill nothing this week.
00:21:48
Speaker
I don't know. I didn't duck hunt, but I had some buddies that went out on the river and same thing, man. They just, they wasn't doing nothing. I mean, they were flying, but they weren't, they weren't doing anything as far as getting where they wanted to be. It's kind of funny. You get texts from, uh, it's certain times of the year you got buddies that text you, right? I mean, that's with everybody. I'm sure everybody has that problem. Right.
00:22:13
Speaker
Well, it's funny how you can tell when everybody else is struggling, you just start getting a text that says, Hey, how y'all been doing? You know, Hey, y'all been killing anything this last week? My response this week is no, and I'm going to catch up on my wrist while I can, and hopefully we can grind some out.

Dog Safety Concerns During Hunts

00:22:34
Speaker
Uh, I think, I think after that, gosh, what, we get another good three, four inches cold the other day. I mean, it was a good rain.
00:22:43
Speaker
Yeah, we got another three inches. You know, water's out of cash. Water's coming up on wide. I think it's going to crash in the next couple of days. But, um, hopefully some birds start finding that. I mean, getting up in the woods, maybe, maybe a midweek hunt, huh? Yeah, I'd love to. I mean, uh, I'd love to get all of us together. I mean, uh, we ain't even been on a good, you know, I'm going to actually did, we had a good hunt with you, but, uh, you know, we ain't been on a public on or really even like a, you know, a good, good,
00:23:12
Speaker
a good hunt week. Yeah, I've been wanting to get back down there and, and do some shooting, but this, uh, this newborn coming any day now, it's got me kind of locked down around the house. So I'm going to try to bow hunt. Yeah, we were just hoping maybe at the end of the week, we were just hoping she'd hold out for the next 30 minutes here while we chit chat.
00:23:37
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, Laura's talking about, you know, getting some oil or, you know, whatever that stuff was. Essential oils or something. Yeah. She, you may be out of luck. She might've, you know, Jessica might've smelled it through the video camera here, you know. They better call the ambulance cause I ain't delivering that baby. You ain't delivering it at the house. No. Come on. Come on. I don't, I don't do that.
00:24:02
Speaker
I don't even like going, I don't even like going to the doctor and she's like, Oh, you're going to stay. We're going to be up there for at least two days. I said, we, you got you a bag bag. I ain't packed that bag yet. I said, I got to get home. I got to get home and take care of them dogs. You know, you be there. It's all about the experience together. Jake. I'll be up there. I'll be up there taking notes. What are you putting in that? What's that do?
00:24:33
Speaker
It won't take long to figure out how to get it to eat. Yeah, I'll be on diaper duty, I guess. That's pretty simple, I think. Well, let's hop back on these dogs. I feel like we got too many stories. So let's start with you. I think we kind of go over yours, but let's get on some of your dogs or something. Yeah, I mean, the last week they've been pretty sorry, but I mean, for the most part, it's about that time to
00:25:01
Speaker
Really get things fired up. I have a lot of trouble getting, uh, permission on different hunting properties in terms of taking the coon hounds, uh, just kind of refresh everybody. I got, I've got two adult redbone coon hounds that I like to take Hank kinda. He's the one that.
00:25:22
Speaker
If I'm going to take somebody and they want to kill a raccoon, I take just Hank. I take the other one just for fun. She's June. That's the mama dog, all these pups we've been having here lately. And she's, she can kind of strike one of her own, but it's kind of one of those instances where you didn't spend as much time with that next one. Like you did the first one. Y'all know what I mean? It, it was, it was, it was kind of that. I mean, me and Hank.
00:25:51
Speaker
I, I walked with him. Shoot. I bet y'all hunting him four nights a week when he was nine months old, just turning him into what he is. A lot of it was just me taking him. I'm not smart enough to train a dog. I promise you that. But, uh, when I take him work,
00:26:11
Speaker
We're guaranteed we'll be a treat on something. Might be a den tree, but we'll tree something. We had a good time there with you Cole. That was a good hunt. Run that Creek. Pretty good. Yeah. Well, I haven't ever been well. Yeah. Jacob fell in the Creek, but anyways, but, uh, no, I guess I, you know, the only time I've really been coon hunting is with you. And, uh, every time we've been, we've at least killed one. Most time it was two. Um, you know, I mean, old Hank, he's a good dog, man.
00:26:40
Speaker
He gets her done, that's for sure. And, you know, there ain't nothing like, you know, I love dogs, you know, you know, especially, you know, that's why I hunt too, you know, for my dog, but, and hear him fire up in them woods, man, there ain't nothing like it. He's sitting out there, pitch black. He fires up, but that's a good thing about Hank, you know, there's going to be something up there.
00:27:03
Speaker
It just makes you want to walk there. I mean, it don't matter how far I tell everybody, everybody looking at me as he got one. I can't tell you if he's got one or not, but I guarantee you one thing I'm walking to find out if he does. Cause I've, I've been surprised before. Uh, I found him one time we were in, uh, Louisiana when I was still in vet school, doing an internship down in Northwest Arkansas.
00:27:28
Speaker
My buddy had some property and, uh, Creek got out after a big rain and I found that dog tree to, he was still a pup. I mean, 11 months or so. He's chest, deep water. I'm out there walking over my boots. Cause I just always would go to the dog and I look up in the tree and there's a coon and I have no idea how he found it. That was pretty impressive. Maybe he just got lucky, but I was glad to find that one.
00:27:55
Speaker
Nah, he knew that coon was there, he wouldn't have swam all the way out there. Them guys that hunt them dogs and them swamps, I mean, I couldn't get wet like that every night, but they'd turn coons like that. Hey, that swamp life though, just worried about, that was the biggest thing when I was in Louisiana, we were worried about
00:28:15
Speaker
I just imagine any moment I hear Hank chopping, bop, bop, bop, bop, and then just go silent. I just always got worried. I was like, oh my God. Where's that Gator at? Where's that Gator at? I mean, I've heard many stories about that. So, um, about that time I'd be hitting that tone button to make me sound or something. Uh, but no, I mean that's Hank and June, the mama dog. She, uh,
00:28:44
Speaker
Her big thing is she kind of, she's kind of like judo. I mean, if she catches the scent of something hot, she she's, I ran her today on the farm, all the dogs. And I'm telling you, if she's got that mentality, if you ain't first, you last. I mean, she's full speed. Looks like a Greyhound running across there. There ain't many coats that can outrun her. I don't think so. She keeps up with them pretty good.
00:29:12
Speaker
I wish she would get a hold of one. Be one less. Sounds like all we got to do is come to your backyard, Jake. Oh yeah, they're everywhere. Just drop the dogs. Well, what about your pup in training? Yeah, little Clifford. Last time we had a coon, we skinned him out and he liked that. He liked that hide pretty good. I think his coon dog training is going to go a lot easier than his house breaking.
00:29:42
Speaker
Like the first five minutes that you let him out of the pen, if you don't watch it, he's gonna just pee everywhere. Just kind of like an excited pee. He just, he just can't help it. He just so happy to see you, man. Just so happy. He just wants a pet, just like Judo. Oh yeah. Judo's running for mayor over here. He's politician. Oh yeah. He'll go greet anybody, but he likes it.
00:30:10
Speaker
No, Lou Clifford, he started running the farm with all the other dogs. I think I mapped it out today. I tried and mainly because my other two dogs, I got a border call in. She's a duck dog fail school kind of dog, Willow. She's sweet though, she's sweet. That's what I tell people.
00:30:36
Speaker
They're kind of getting overweight a little bit. So we try to run every day, right? Exercise is good for the soul. And sure enough, we ran them day in that pup. He's starting to keep up with them. He ran, he probably ran two miles of the three or three and a half. I ran them day, which is, that's a pretty good piece. I heard that. Didn't see a single duck. All right. Zero. That's wild.
00:31:04
Speaker
You know, for, for the time of year, especially first, second week of January, usually we're covered up, you know, but. And y'all whooped on them all last week over there too. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of crazy how it come in waves like that. I mean, there for five, 10 days, it was 15 plus. And then it just dropped down to, you're going to get a big goose egg if you're not careful. So.
00:31:31
Speaker
But yeah, that's kind of my dogs. Those are my two main hunting dogs. Got that pup out of them. He's a good looking dog. Hopefully he turns out to be half the dog as dad is. I think we know that's on you, my man. It's going to be 100%. I think we're going to have to get Clifford and Judo out there with Hank.
00:31:59
Speaker
Really what we, I think we just need to send them with Samuel, you know, let Samuel cut them loose down here, you know, but these deer hunters are about done. So we should be able to do whatever we want to here. Oh yeah, for sure. For sure. Definitely on our farm. And, uh, you know, they really don't hurt, hurt deer anyways, but you got them other people saying that, but I'm ready to cut them loose. I know that. Oh yeah.
00:32:30
Speaker
You know, I got one barking in the pen right now. I thought I heard that. One thing I want to ask you guys, you know, I'm the kind of the oddball that didn't have a dog, but I was watching this video that I kind of shared with with talking about a coon dog, getting up in a tree, 40 feet tall, chasing a raccoon and doing his job. You know, I can't imagine what mentioned about the Gators being down there, Louisiana, the hogs, I'm sure was another.
00:32:56
Speaker
a scary option down there or anything else, but just some of the concerns that you get that I can't really kind of picture, you know, and how well those dogs will just go after everything that you asked them to, you know, and what is something that y'all have seen or maybe have worried about, you know, as having dogs and one like, you know, duck hunting. I've seen, you know, just some scenarios of cripples and
00:33:25
Speaker
people not knowing how to hunt and things like that. And, you know, just chasing a coon, getting lost. What are y'all's thoughts? You know, who wants to start that out? Man, I'll start it out. You know, one of my things, you know, having ace, you know, just especially when we was running the river, you know, just getting caught up in the brush.
00:33:52
Speaker
Um, you know, especially, you know, especially whenever uses, uh, you know, his jacket, but you know, that's one thing, you know, falling out of the boat. That's another, um, and then I see conditions, you know, I've run him in some conditions that were not terrible. You know, I mean, we, we had something there to, you know, we could start a fire, you know, nothing I was scared about, but I mean, you always worry and then
00:34:13
Speaker
You know, that line of sight, you know, I know for a coon hunter, you know, running the coon dogs, that's different. But for me, you know, uh, that dog gets out of sight whenever we're hunting. I'm like, you know, I kind of go, you know, I'm not, I'm not so worried about it whenever we're on land, but golly, I know my heart's pounded a couple of times, you know, there, but, uh, I guess that's the biggest one, you know, just getting caught up and not being able to get to, it's my biggest thing. Yeah.
00:34:44
Speaker
What worries me on dogs, especially for hounds, running dogs or tree dogs is, you know, them getting out on the road. I mean, that's, that's one of the scariest things that they run on out on the highway. And I try to use my Garmin collar. It's got a flashlight on it or a flashing light. You can turn on it. And then they also got little beacon lights you can put on there. I try to use that stuff. If I think I'm going to be close to a road, I try to stay away from the road as far as possible.
00:35:15
Speaker
But that, and especially this time of year deer season, man, there's people out there that'll shoot a hound. They can't read signs, but they get out and about. I don't do much running dogs this time of year in places I don't feel like they're gonna be, unless they're 100% safe when it comes to something like that. Most people's real cool about it, but you just never know.
00:35:43
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, having Coonhounds puts a full different perspective on the, you know, even how I used to think about dogs being on our property. It'd make me mad, just mad. I'm like, ah, they're running our deer. They're messing the whole hunt up. I mean, I wouldn't even do anything to harm them, but I mean, it's just literally, it just would make you fit to be tied. But I mean, you get talking about it. I mean, you start getting dogs that start hunting different property on accident. I mean,
00:36:13
Speaker
Mm-hmm. My gosh. I can literally I'll have a I'll have my Garmin alpha 200 on this dog Watching it and it and it goes from I mean it's updating like every what two seconds or so I mean I got it pretty hot two seconds I think on the fastest and I if you don't watch it just continuously that thing will go from it'll go 40 foot 80 yards
00:36:43
Speaker
250, 450. And you're like, Oh my gosh, where are we going? You get to look in, you're like, 0.2, 0.7. Yeah. You start getting into the miles and you're like, Oh my gosh. And it's not, and, and they might not even be running like a deer, but if they get, they get like on a, uh, our woods are a good example. We got a levy around it. I mean, it's a half mile levy, uh, three different sides.
00:37:10
Speaker
I mean, if you're in the middle of our woods and they get on that levee, next thing you know, they've got something straight they can run trying to catch a sin on the ground. Oh, they'll cover some ground just till they hit some traction. And then, I mean, there's never have I intentionally been on somebody else right off the bat, but I mean, you'll end up on somebody and then you try to get them off and you get them off and then, and then you're good to go. But I mean, Cole, you, you kind of had a little run in with that. I remember.
00:37:40
Speaker
Uh, Oh yeah. Yeah. Um, you know, you know, I, you see, uh, he didn't even mean to me and Royce were actually, uh, setting up a, uh, deer stand on our property. And, uh, like I said, I used to love his waterfowl. And the second favorite thing is to run a deer, you know, well, uh, we were down in there and I was on the tractor carrying the stand out there. Well, by that time I see a big, uh, a black flash come by me.
00:38:10
Speaker
And I look up, well, there's a deer in front of us. Well, we went about 200 and always farther. It was about a half mile from the property line. Well, guess what old boy was over hunting. So I go looking for my dog. Guess what? This old big old boy comes stomping across, you know, and I'm like, crap, man. You know, I was like, I hate to run this hunt, but you know, really I'm worried about my dog, you know, cause we're, we're by creek or in thicket, you know, and like I said, at
00:38:38
Speaker
out of sight, you know, I kind of get a little worried, but anyways, you know, and, uh, that didn't turn into a real good, um, a real good time. Um, you know, and, uh, like I said, it kind of, uh, after it all kind of fizzled down, you know, we found the dog or whatever, but no, it, uh, it escalates quick whenever another man's dog is running on somebody else's property. That's right. That old boy was, he was fixing to hand out a shot at the title, wasn't he?
00:39:06
Speaker
Well, I had Royce with me and you know, so I knew I was good. And then we were on our land, thank goodness. And so I kind of had the upper hand there, but yeah, yeah, it would have been fun. I mean, it was all, it was just all mud and the tempers got flared up quick. He got that title built out. Well, he's ready to put it on the line. He's a big old boy too. He's a big old boy, but you know, I mean, I had Royce, so we're good. That's what I'm talking about.
00:39:37
Speaker
But no, stuff like the road and like we talked about, but I mean, I wasn't there. Y'all was coon hunting behind your mom and dad's at time and Hank got hung up in that tree, wasn't it? Yeah. Well, we were with Bryce at time and.
00:39:53
Speaker
I mean, it sounded like he done jumped on by like a mountain lion. Who knew? I mean, he, I've never heard a scream like that before. And luckily one of the guys that was with us was able to get to him pretty quick, a little bit closer than I was. And man, he, on this, it was just a smaller oak tree that had a split and he was up on it, I guess, checking it or treeing on it. I can't really remember what he was doing on it, but
00:40:23
Speaker
Uh, man, we get to him and he had that legs hung in there and that guy was holding him to keep him from jerking his leg. And, and to this day, he still, if he goes running like he did today, tomorrow he'll be sore on that leg. I mean, it, it caused some long-term kind of damages, but he, uh, that one hurt him pretty good. You wouldn't even think that a tree like that would cause
00:40:50
Speaker
pain or injure them. But I mean, as crazy as these dogs get when they feel pain, they'll, they'll tear themselves up. So they're just animals. But I think one thing that I just wanted to kind of, you know, wrap it up with this on that question was I have a friend who had a dog and they were goose hunting. We probably had about 15 people. I think they said they had out there and
00:41:15
Speaker
You know, I bring up cripples and, you know, how important it is that you just allow the dog to do its thing. And I know this kind of relates more to Cole and his dog than necessarily the coon ham, but I think it comes the same way. You know, if you have a coon fell out of a tree, you know, you don't want guys just shooting at your dogs. You know, this poor old boy, he, uh, pretty, what's that?
00:41:37
Speaker
They better not. I should have been dead. Well, you know, you just get them guys who just don't understand. They think, oh, I got to get that bird or it's going to fly away or, you know, or whatever, but or the coons going to run away. I got to shoot at him and, you know, I just.
00:41:51
Speaker
That, that poor dog, I mean, just was tore up. I mean, never can go hunting again, you know, just, it's, it's a, it's a tough deal. So I, although I don't have one myself, I can't imagine what, what can go through your mind, you know, with that, but, uh, you know, I just think safety, you know, with dogs too, is important and understanding, you know, what you're hunting, who you're hunting with, things like that. Real quick before we hop off this, but, uh, I took a buddy of mine shot a deer.
00:42:22
Speaker
Uh, earlier in gun back in gun season. And I took that pup. We're just trying to find him. He, he shot him deer went down. Couldn't find him. Anyway, we went back a couple of days later, just trying to find, you know, something, uh, just as soon as we can get back out there. And we were walking around out there. We probably walked two miles on this property. And, uh, he's like, Hey man, come check this out. I'll walk over there.
00:42:47
Speaker
And I've seen them before, but this was a probably a five foot diameter old water well hole, just wide open to the earth, man. You fall in that. I've heard stories of dogs falling there, but I mean, anybody, ooh, you're in bad shape in there. Just on the middle of the property there. It was just out there on the side of this. It didn't, it wasn't even a flat spot, really. It was just out there on this edge of this mountain, like not really a big mountain, but
00:43:18
Speaker
out in the middle of the woods and. Yeah, it's crazy. You know, I, I, I would never even thought of that. You know, uh, you know, you know, just, I've heard you tell that story before, but man, you know, they go down, man. I mean, it's, uh, it ain't good. It ain't good at all. But back, back to what you were saying, Drew, you know, uh, um, you know, they make fun. Yeah. He'll hear some comments, you know, about the motivational speech, you know, whatever.
00:43:48
Speaker
do it, but I also get nominated to do the safety, which I feel like, um, you know, I've got the dog and then especially somebody else's dog there, you know, uh, always tell them, you know, uh, if the dog breaks, do it, you know, ACE, you know, he doesn't usually break, but he will, um, every now and then not, not bad or nothing. I'll correct it right then. I'm not going to say he's the perfect dog, but he will just a little bit, but you know, you got, you got, you gotta get a,
00:44:15
Speaker
There's got to be a head guy out there or another guy, you know, especially when you got the dogs. But whenever you shoot, you know, my, my, my, my number one rule is, is, uh, I'll get the cripples or the other guy on the end will get the cripples or I'll holler out, you know, Hey man, get that, shoot that bird while I hold the dog. But I mean, you talk about going from a good time hunt now with your buddies and that dog flashed over and you lose your best friend right there. I mean, that can, I could run friendships. I could run, um,
00:44:45
Speaker
You know, actually run hunting for the rest of your life, you know, and, uh, I'd hate, I mean, I wouldn't even know what to do if I shot somebody's dog. You know, I just, you know, cripple me, but no, there's always, I think for sure. You know, uh, especially if you got young, young, young people out there, you got to let them know, Hey, listen, I'll take care of the cripples. I appreciate it. You, you shoot the fire whenever, whenever we call a shot, but you know, there has to be somebody head out there and, um,
00:45:12
Speaker
You know, uh, the, the man with the dog is, you know, in that sense. So yeah, I almost had that situation happen to me. I'm not even going to go into all the details today, but, uh, one of those deals where I clicked the gun safety off, we stood up to shoot some birds and I slipped and fail and gun went off and there's two people right there with me, dog. And luckily nobody got.
00:45:42
Speaker
got hit, but it was on my birthday in 2015. And there was hair on the end of my choke tube where it hit me in the back of the head. So I've been real close on that situation. It's not good. And you know, just something I wouldn't have thought of is slipping and falling, you know, just that quick. So I get it. Yeah. Anything in that doors like that. I mean, you gotta be careful.
00:46:09
Speaker
I mean, there's, there's no telling what can happen. You get a firearm. So everybody takes their precautions. Take your hunter's ed course. Me and Cole passed that same year. What year was that? It's like barely. Yeah. Barely. Let's get into that. So that's a big story right there. So I'm sitting at the house and dad comes in there and says, uh, Hey, uh, Mark's called, uh, you want to, uh, which is with dad. Uh, you want to, they won't know if you want to go to hunter's ed. And it was like eight o'clock, nine o'clock and I wasn't even ready. So.
00:46:39
Speaker
I said, yeah, let's go. It wasn't like you had a study guide before we go to this class. Go, they taught you everything there. Well, we're getting that real quick. You know, I had daddy says, yeah, he'll go. And, uh, so just like that, you know, I'm going and, uh, I ain't studied. I ain't looked at it. Uh, didn't know you needed a Coke. Didn't know you needed a snack there. You know, you didn't have nothing for the rest of the day, you know? So, I mean, not only was I that it was tough on the kids.
00:47:06
Speaker
But, you know, uh, listen, I'm not a good test taker, you know, but, uh, listen, son, I aced my driver's head test.

Hunter's Education and Safety Stories

00:47:13
Speaker
And I, I barely, I'm talking about this underage class. And I think the old boy looked at me and he said, you're good. You know what I'm saying? And it, I don't think it was. It's not that I'm retarded. I mean, y'all may think that, but, uh, I'm just not, it was bad. I was kind of, I was like, dang and wits over like a, and I could, you know, I was like, why don't you help me, bud? I could have cheated off of you.
00:47:35
Speaker
You know, you was taking a ACT prep. I don't even remember how we were. I think we were like 12. I mean, we were young. I think I was just learning how to like write a full sentence at that age. I mean, wasn't very far along.
00:47:55
Speaker
I do remember taking mine cold because like you said, I didn't know I was going to be there for eight hours or whatever. I don't even know how you do it nowadays. Honestly, I'm pretty sure you can do it online. Just like, it's easy. That was, that was work, man.
00:48:10
Speaker
Yeah, that's how I did mine. I did mine online and I cheated. I don't need somebody to tell me what the butt of the gun is or the forearm or anything like that. So yeah. So all I did was I skipped through all the videos on, sorry, a fishing game for Arkansas, but this is what I did. I just skipped through all the lessons, took the test real quick and I took all the papers in and took the real test and that was good to go. Made a hundred on that. So.
00:48:37
Speaker
That was last week. That's why he didn't shoot Saturday. That's right. It's not like we ain't been out with our dads and they've done taught us, you know, all the safety we need, you know, I mean, and I understand having the paper because some, some kids don't have that, but I mean, I knew everything. Um, you know, um, so, but yeah, listen, I was thirsty. Uh, I had a buddy there.
00:49:06
Speaker
And, uh, he gave me a drink. Like, I think, I think we split that drink. Did you bring something with it? I don't remember if you did or not. Man, I ain't never been good at packing a lunch. I, it probably wasn't me. We probably bummed off somebody else. I can't remember. Well, I know we did. I know the old boy's name. I ain't going to call him out, but, uh, I thank him because I think if we split a drink, it's like a Mountain Dew. I'm pretty sure. And then we split like, uh,
00:49:31
Speaker
It's either honey bun or like a oatmeal cream pie. I can't remember, but it's one or two, but I remember it was definitely a Mountain Dew. Cause I mean, I was, I was wound up. It goes into like one of the worst two days of my life. The other one being defensive driving class. I mean, have y'all ever sat through one of those? That's like six or eight hours of just pain and torture too. Yeah. I had to take them all time back when I used to get tickets and stay in trouble a little bit speeding and
00:49:59
Speaker
cutting up on their motorcycles back in the day. That was part of, if you didn't do your, if you didn't pay your fine or whatever, you had to go that defensive driving class. Well, I used all those up. So I got to do that, but call you're lucky. I wasn't in that class with a honey bun. Cause I ain't coming off that honey bun.
00:50:18
Speaker
Boy, I know this old boy had a, he had a, he had a lunchbox full of stuff and a sucker had like six cokes in it. I mean, this sucker was prepared. Somebody had told him, it might've been the second time in there. I'm going to go ahead and say that. But, but I just remember going and taking that test. I'm like, man, I'm good. And I handed the guy the paper and he's sitting there grading it in front of me. I was like, well, there's another check. There's another one. I said,
00:50:46
Speaker
I can't even remember. Was it a C and above or something like a 70 or an 80? I think it was a 75% or something like that. I think it was a 70 cause I think I passed with like a 71 or 72 or I don't know. I passed by one point. That's all I know. And, uh, and now, and now when we go out there, you're the safest one delivering the safety speech. Look how times change. That's pretty good. Co.
00:51:09
Speaker
Well, you know, I mean, I don't know why I get elected to do that. I'm fine with doing it because somebody's got to do it. Like I said, but, um, you know, all my buddies, uh, they let me, and, uh, you know, uh, that's, that's what it is. But yeah, I just, I remember that class and, uh, I just knew I didn't want to take it again. But I would, I would have had a lunchbox, like that old boy. I'd probably have been like an old boy feeding some young little kid, you know, beside me. Here you go, son. This is my first time.
00:51:39
Speaker
What do you mean your dad didn't pack you nothing, man? My dad packed me everything right here. Well, the safety's important. And I worked in the oil field and stuff all over for a long

Personal Anecdotes and Weekly Plans

00:51:52
Speaker
time. And, you know, that's number one thing, safety. And I just got carried outside of work, you know, so. Yeah, I do it, man. I see these videos on Facebook all the time, these really strong guys, like hooking these pipes together. Is that what you did, Jake?
00:52:08
Speaker
No, I wasn't that tough. I didn't, I didn't work on the rig. I've been on quite a few drilling rigs, but, uh, on the service side of the oil and gas, uh, I got, I got to be on a bunch of rigs. I worked off shore, but I wasn't out there doing the drilling part. I was out there doing something else.
00:52:32
Speaker
Yeah. You'll have to tell us that one story about the off road and the van, you know, up that hill, you know. Oh, man. I don't know if the statutes is up on that. It's gotta be close. It's gotta be close. It's close. I don't know if it's up. Anybody got anything, anybody got anything good playing for this week? We got any trips playing? I'm hoping we get out this week, man. You know, I've been saying and I've been saying, which I've got a
00:53:02
Speaker
a monster week with work, you know, double headed, you know, but I'm hoping after this week, maybe for at least a week, you know, the week before season's up or the week after, try to get some hunting in, man. This is the last hunting I've done in, you know, six, seven years, you know, since I got back into it, but it, that's what I was talking to one of my buddies day. He said, man, I don't even feel like duck season does it. I said, no, they just don't, but,
00:53:32
Speaker
Uh, no, we gotta get out there guys. We gotta make, we gotta make time for it. And you know, that's my biggest problem making time for it. I've got jury duty. No, you guys did for jury duty Friday. So it's like in those County that we live in though, Drew, it's like they run out of names every, every other ballot. I'm on it. Just trying to figure out how to get out of it. Hey, my five years in school.
00:54:02
Speaker
I was selected at least seven times, kid you not. Every time my mom would call me, hey, you got selected for jury duty. And I'm like, well, good thing I'm in school. I got a good excuse anyways. Unfortunately, now I've grown up. Unfortunately, I had to, I had to serve this time. They come back to count me. But, you know, that, that just kind of goes to show you, I mean, real life's going to step into, Hey Jake, you got anything planned brother?
00:54:38
Speaker
All right, Jacob, thank you for being muted, my man. Yeah, you are, Bob. Oh, yeah. No, I've been on call all week, so I haven't got the venture too far from the house to run the dogs. So that's my plan. Tomorrow night, I'm going to take the dogs away from around here. You're going to go chase a river falling out anywhere? No, I'm done expedition hunting. I'll wear you out.
00:55:08
Speaker
I didn't know if you had a big one playing, I mean, my plans might change tonight. If, you know, if this labor and delivery takes place, I must say is it may change. It may take place in your hunting season's done for a little while. He's already grounded for putting me in this predicament. Come out. Listen here, boy. Daddy. But that's, that's my plan tomorrow. I'm going to take them and probably go over in Oklahoma and
00:55:38
Speaker
come loose. No, that'll be a good time. Is there any different regulations for letting them loose in Oklahoma just real brief? Well, I don't take my rifle or my .22. I don't shoot a coon out over there because I don't have my fire bearer or whatever it is you got to have for shooting them out. But I do let them hunt and tree and whatever they do. I just don't shoot them. But I got some spots over here that I will.
00:56:08
Speaker
Uh, problem is I'm treating more coons and they are. So I'm waiting on my night champion paperwork to come in. Uh, you're getting pretty close. Yeah, I'm pretty well, I'm probably past due for it. What's your registered name? I don't got one, but yeah. You can see Earl. Yeah. I don't know. I'm going to take judo and Reba.
00:56:37
Speaker
and let them do their thing, man. Reba's a different hunter than her daddy, Hank. Hank's a sure enough coon dog and I've seen him tree a bunch of coons and he does it right. And Reba, she's kind of a drifter, runs with her head up. She's silent on track, silent as a mouse, but let her bump into something
00:57:06
Speaker
You know, she's kind of a ground welder right now, but I haven't given up on her. I'll just still take her, let her do her thing. She's out there barking right now, wanting to go do something. And Judo, that little pup, you know, he's just now turning on. I just got to get him, get him out there in the woods. You know, I'm kind of looking at the weather for this week. It looks like we got a little rain coming through Wednesday night. So hopefully that front will kind of move some different.
00:57:33
Speaker
birds around, deer around, whatever you're after, make a coon move. I know this full moon has been tough. I mean, I didn't even wear my light last night hardly at all until that coyote jumped up on me. Yeah, that, that full moon last few nights just kind of, you know, you asked me to go coon hunting right now. I just, I've had so much bad luck on a full moon night that I just hardly can go get the motive to go. But same thing with duck. I mean,
00:58:01
Speaker
Angus. I'm Angus. I mean, I, I'm not a professional, professional guide or anything, but I know people are still killing them. I get that just because I'm not, don't mean you can't kill them, but I guarantee you they're feeding a lot more on us at night. I mean, you go over there. Beautiful day. Like it was today, 60 degrees, see no ducks, but you go to that field and it looks like it's been beat down muddy feathers everywhere. I mean, just.
00:58:32
Speaker
Awful, but, uh, looks like maybe Tuesday morning, Wednesday, maybe we can go chase some in the timber Co. Drew, if y'all can get off, I know y'all are closest. Maybe y'all can go do that. Yeah, I think, uh, ice is ready, man. Uh, you know, uh, I feel bad for him more, more than anything, you know, but, uh, yeah, we gotta get, we get on one, especially, uh, we gotta, we gotta get a goose hunt too. I mean, we, uh,
00:58:57
Speaker
We gotta do that this weekend or do something. But yeah, I'm ready to see guys out there instead of through this camera. Because boy, I thought y'all was ugly in person. You're definitely on this camera, you know. Certified. Shoot, I had a filter on. But hey, everybody that was listening, episode four, we glad we made it this far. We're looking to get episode five out this week. We're gonna,
00:59:25
Speaker
It'll be kind of announced if everybody go to our Facebook page and like little wood outdoors, we'd appreciate it. We're going to, we're going to get the guest name on there probably either Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. Um, hopefully we can, uh, get a little more insight on something in particular that y'all are wanting to hear. I have several people tell me during the week, Hey.
00:59:49
Speaker
I'm loving the ducks. Why don't y'all talk about deer more, et cetera. So if y'all got anything to tell us, just comment on there. Even if it's trash talk, I'm good with that. We all need a little bit of that grounding, so.

Closing Remarks and Listener Engagement

01:00:03
Speaker
Yeah. I'm just going to rephrase that with what we just said, you know, tell us what you'd like to hear. You know, I've listened to podcasts for a while and you know, I guess, well, this is my third one or fourth, but
01:00:18
Speaker
Man, I love it. And whatever y'all wanna hear, let us hear and we can talk about it. And like I said, I'm looking forward to getting some of these guests on and talking about some different stuff. But like I said, let us know what you wanna hear and we'll get it to you, man. We're gonna keep the weekends light. It's gonna be spread out. And during the week, we're gonna dial it down. Y'all have a good week.
01:00:44
Speaker
Thanks for keeping up with us. Spend a whole hour listening to nonsense. Jacob, next time we talk to you, you might be having a baby in one hand. So best of luck this week. We'll be seeing everybody Wednesday night, Thursday morning. Y'all have a great week. Bye.
