Being poor? Keep grinding, dog, you'll get there. This warm
weather in November, Yeah, it's about to change though. So
this is being recorded. Are you sure it's about to change?
(01:40):
It's about to change for the this is coming next
week for muzzletter. Opening weekend of muslater is this weekend.
I'm excited about that. I think the weather's supposed to
be supposed to get better North Wand anyway, the people
are mad at daylight savings like that. I can't stand lights,
which I thought they were going to do away with. Yeah,
I thought they were like, like, I like, do some
(02:00):
legislation and just not. I think Trump said he was
going to get rid of it. Speaking of we're recording this.
By the time this comes out, some stuff's gonna change.
Maybe if it comes out, I mean, world made world mate.
This is a day before the election of the ELECTUS tomorrow,

Why does Christmas music have to start the day after Halloween?
Here's the truth.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It doesn't because I am a purist on not celebrating
Christmas until Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, I'm with that, because I'm with that. That's I
mean to me, Look, man, do I like a Christmas tree?
I love a Christmas tree? Do I want it up
all the time? Kind of.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But if I had it up all the time, it
wouldn't be as special to me as.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's a little premature to put now. Listen, I'm fine
with it if I go into your house, which I'm
not going to because I don't go anywhere because I
got two kids that are under the age of two.
But and you've got a Christmas tree up right now,
and you've got Christmas music rolling and like the Christmas
candle's going whatever. That's fine, But yeah, I'm the same way.
It's a little premature to put it up before. Just
(03:23):
got trail camera pictures and it looks like there's a
good deer somewhere, So I'll look at those of them
just a second while we're still podcasting. Yes, I'm mad
that God's Country doesn't release a new episode. I was
about to say thank you, Cale Hoffman, thank you and
not happening because thank you Cayle Hoffman. But that's it. Yeah, man,
I appreciate that that Zach Top hasn't been on the

just randomly going to pool halls around here and playing
pool with us. What his cowboy hat on it? He doesn't? Yeah, cool,
he's just like a It just feels like a blast
from the past, and it is refreshing. Man, well, because
we love that past, no doubt, and we're brought up
in it makes a lot of sense and it's really good.
(05:02):
It's a talent. Songs are really good. Have you seen
the video where he's playing in the bluegrass band when
he's like fourteen. It's like the first, the earliest video
that got him super clean, shaven, got a little I
think I have. Yeah, that's a young still smoking flat top.
I don't know, man, I think he's really cool. Come

have time for anything. This is a good one. When
people don't put the shopping cart back in the cart return,
you know, I'm I'm kind of mad at that when they, like,
especially if they take up a parking spot with it,
like if they just leave it in the corner of
an actual parking spot.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
That's you know, they said this the truest. That's like
the truest test of are you a good human or not?
Because there's no shopping cart, because the make up, there's
no repercussions for not returning. I know, but you just
make that.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
No. It is a show off character, I think for sure.
And it's like you have you can leave it and
you're not gonna get in trouble. Who were you and
no one's looking. Shout out John Wiggins, be a good one.
It beat somebody good. Somebody just replied with a truck
camera pick, which is cool. Yeah, of a buck making
(06:47):
us great. That's love that. I'm not mad at that
at all. No, not mad at that. And if you are,
you're mad at the wrong things. Political commercials. Yeah, it's
over now. Somebody's president. Somebody knew was president.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
The wind not doing what it's supposed to do when
I rattled in eleven point tonight, Kentucky Traveler, that's our boy.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Sorry, maybe by the time it's coming out, you have
travel and again, I hope you get them. Let me
tell you what I'm mad at real quick. Just we're
doing it. I guess sure. I'm kind of mad over
this squirrel situation. Have you seen this? What squirrel situation?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Okay, let me let me light you. So a fell
out of New York and I don't know. I don't
know a whole lot about this. I don't know if
it's New York City or if it's upstate. I really
don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I'm listening. I'm just looking a drug. A guy out
of New York sees a mama squirrel get hit by
a car. Okay, when he goes to like, as you know,
it's a mama squirrel, well because it has a baby, okay,
or it's I've never seen, or it's the dad with
I don't know anyway, have you ever seen a mama
(07:59):
squirrel with a baby squirrel behind it?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
No, neither sus already what I'm saying, well, I look,
I'm just putting it out there.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I'm just putting this out there. So so this guy
is driving. You want to tell a story now, I'm
just trying to. I'm trying to. I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I don't know the ends, and I don't know how
long it's toendail S world. Dude, I'm just saying. This
is how he says he acquired the squirrel. A mama
squirrel gets smacked. He picked he there's a baby squirrel there.
Maybe it fell out the tree, maybe still in the tree.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I don't maybe he traced the lineage. He takes the
baby squirrel home. He says he's going to nurse it
back to health, right, and then release him too the wall.
He gets to be eight months old, he's like feeding
milk and stuff, looking like this, dude, this is serious.
This is I can't believe you haven't seen that. I mean, well, actually,
I can totally believe you have sent it. So he
(08:51):
takes the squirrel home. You really have no idea about
the story? Yeah, I see social media it's gonna be
it makes it even better. So, uh, he takes the
squirrel home, eight months, raises the squirrel, and at the
end of eight months, he's like, Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
How big is this squrel? In eight months, the full.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Size squirrel, and it's like black, kind of cool looking,
like a darkool looking bock square.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
No, I think they just have like black squirrels there
for real? Where is it for New York? Yeah? Okay,
so I remember seeing him when I was in New
York actually at Central PARTI I remember seeing black squirrels.
I feel like we saw him in Boston too. So
when eight nuts out of my hand, so he, uh,
for real, I saw that. There's a picture of it.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I remember that kind of So he lets the squirrel
go off his back patio.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I'm assuming and I already know where this is going.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Squirrel shows back up a day later, half his tail
going this is He's saying this on a I've done
a little bit of research on this, not a lot,
but a little bit.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Oka says.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It shows back up, it's got half his tail. He's like,
I can't release, I can't.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I gotta keep this thing, right, is my pet squirrel out?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
So he starts a nonprofit rescue animal situation. Got like
thirteen horses, three mini ponies.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
From this squirrel.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Some goats names the squirrel Peanut, right, MoMA Peanut.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
How does MoMA know? Because everybody knows but you.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
So they call it like the Peanut Palace or something.
And the whole thing is around this squirrel. So he
also has a raccoon. I think the raccoon's name is Fred.
Not sure, boy that it's great raccoon. So he has
so Peanut.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
The squirrel becomes Instagram famous, has his own account and
amasses over five hundred thousand followers, just like the Daily
in the Life of Peanut.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, he's like the Star table. I mean, I never
noticed tafa tail in the videos. I saw sus sus
so he uh so, I don't know. I want to
say three years out on that moment.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Three years.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So three years he has this squirrel. Me and Mow
and have not talked about this, by the way, we
just so he uh yeah, it's just I'm just glad
that he knows read a.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Book or something. Dude, God talk about instead of going
deep diving on Peanut, the squirrels everywhere, So he uh
apparently not Just shut.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Up for five seconds, dude, get over the story. So
he has these things for three years, right, all the animals.
All of a sudden there's like a knock the door.
One day he comes to the door. I don't know
what this stands for. If you do, momen you can say,
but de c right, Department of Summer. Yeah, the way
(11:44):
I envision envision it. Men in black or like we animals.
We need to speak to you for sake. He comes
out cuffing, see him on the sidewalk. Go in, confiscate
Peanut and Fred. Take them, just those two, not all
the other.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
It wasn't all.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It wasn't everything else, was it. Yeah, the squirrel and record,
Like I said, Pen and Fred, they take they take
him right and he and so the guy goes on
the on the internet. It's like, I can't believe it
just happened to me, Like they just they just stole them.
(12:25):
Well they euthanize both of.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Them straight up. Dang.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, So everybody's really hot about it. I think maybe,
I mean, I'm assuming proper permit, you know what I mean,
because like you can't just have a squirrel. I know,
we had like uncles and stuff. I don't go record
down and had a squirrel. But it's not like you
can't really like have a squirrel.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
So but you shouldn't if you haven't, at least you
can't in New York. It is illegal to have a
squirrel on New Okay. So and what's the what's the
how do they want? How do they euthanize them? Why
they killed? Why do they just not let them go
out to the wild and Survival of the fitest exactly?
That's what I'm mad at. It's kind of messed up.
You just cut them loose. If it's true, the whole
thing sounds us but I mean I know that.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I mean they killed the squirrel because I mean there's
this huge revolt going. I hope you like where your
tax dollars are going instead of you know, deporting illegals there.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I will say, if there's squirrels and killing them, if
there's one thing that then look there's a lot of sure.
But if there's one thing the Internet is good for,
it is bringing to light some yeah that like people
have been getting away with in the past, you know
what I'm saying, Like that for instance, like whoever those
(13:47):
guys are that showed up that if all this is true,
took Peanut and Fred and euthanize them and that they
should they should be held to the fire. Dude, Yeah,
because that's not right. Doesn't feel if that's the law
in New York, that law needs to be changed. That
doesn't feel right. Doesn't feel right, you know, especially I'm
mad at that now. Yeah, yeah, we'll do some Actually, no,
(14:10):
you probably won't have to do any more research on.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It because it's so exposed at this point that it's
just like, but you know what, it's about to be
an election, so all that will go away tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
But anyway, it's kind of checked up. I thought, man,
who are you voting for? Hey, let's talk about let's
do some dear story stuff, all right, Yeah, because I
think tell me if I'm wrong. I think we posted
a thing that's like we're doing a bonus episode. Let
us know what you want to hear about. And there
(14:41):
was somebody mentioned. I want to hear if somebody asked,
what's Grandy up to? Just grand do you know what?
I just buying the stuff at the state sales is
what's granted? This is what Grandy's up to. This is
pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
So the other day I found some Timmy sausage in
my freezer, a big.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Bag of it. Yeah, he's told me all about this,
he did, and I just gave him, like a so
you gave him Timmy sausage and then a giant piece
of ham off of a deer. Yeah that was thawed already,
so he had to cook all of it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So what I did, though, was I remember it was
a Kentucky dough that I didn't have time to process,
so I just cut whole muscles off and I would
wrap the whole muscle and freeze whole muscles and like
I can get back And that's a pretty.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Common thing for me if it's warm, especially if you're
hunting out of state trying to get back on.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I'll just uh, I'll just debone and then I'll de
muscle and I I had it cleaned up real good,
but something happened I couldn't cook for like the next
two days. So I just kind of package dealed it
to him without him knowing it, and uh.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
He said, what do we doing this, muscle man? I
was like, whatever you want to, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
So he started cut Dude, I'm telling you this is
for all those listeners out there like deer that her
own ag are significantly better tasting.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Of course they are. Man. Yeah, So he calls, He's like,
you're gonna come over and eat some of this stuff.
I'm like, dude, no, I want to. I wish I could.
I wish I could come over there right now, But
if you need bringing it to my doorstep, I'm not
gonna eat any of that deer unless it's a couple
of days old.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
He's like, cool, I'm gonna cook a whole bunch. So
I do have plans to go back by there and
murder somebody.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, I might do it today. I might do it
after this podcast. There is some fried deer steak and
when dad cooks, like dad, don't Dad? Yeah, Grandy, sorry,
he was up to you. When Grandy cooks, My dad's
name is Randy, my our kids and his grandparents granddad
name is Grandy, which is one of I would put
(16:38):
it up, not his granddad, but his name as a granddad.
That's what I said. No, you kind of mess it up.
He's one of the greatest granddad names of all time. Right,
It's like if your name is Randy and then you
go by Grandy, it's great. Somebody might say that you
did not make that up. You did not make that up.
But when when Grandy cooks, man, he just whether it's
(17:01):
a fish fry, whether it's steak, whether it's deer ten
or one, whether it's minute steak, fried deer steak. He
cooks batches dude like I mean, just table fools, and
then calls everybody and expects everybody to come over and
eat all of it with him, or he'll take it
to the guys at the dunk. He'll take him fresh
(17:21):
biscuits and gravy. And we're at the estate sales. Yeah,
because they give him free stuff. I shouldn't say that.
They do not give him, so they don't don't stuff over.
They don't know that he wants they're buy the book, don't.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
It's right, Yeah, I gotta tell this story because he's helping.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Me build my little girl or her playhouse. My little
girl turns three in May. So she turned two this
past May, and for her birthday present, I was going
to build her a playhouse in the backyard, like a
nice one, a frame, porch, slid steps, the whole thing. Well,
I've got zero time in the world, so I didn't
(18:06):
get it up in time, and so it's we just
got the post. I just I just set the post
six four by fours and just set it so far
away from your house, because I want my backyard like
I've got a huge backyard, but I want the the
initial backyard to like be yours, like my area the garden. No,
I'm just, and we've got enough room to put it
(18:29):
back where it's at. It gets great. You have plenty
of room, plenty of room. It gets great. Shade back there, shade.
She can have her own. It's not like in the backyard.
She can have her own little escape to her own
little playhouse. Right now. She is cool. Why was there
a rule that you have to put a playhouse, mowan.
Is there a rule? I don't know about it. You
have to put a playhouse right right behind your house.
(18:50):
It seems significantly far to me, dude, there's a garden
in the backyard. There's the flower patch, there's the fire pit,
there's another little shit. There's too much in the back
yard already. It's pretty open back there. Farther back. I
think it's a great spot for a playhouse. Back I
can just see her running for a minute to get
back there.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That's here a minute. You're trying to wear her out
for naptime. I'm just trying let her have her own spot.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
But anyway, so all summer we've been jumping on the
trampoline and swinging close to where Griffin's playhouse, and we'll
ride the forther and every time we pass it, I'd
be like, that's Griffin's playhouse, which granted it's only it's
four six four by fours in the ground, and she'd
be like, Yep, that's Griffin's playhouse. So the other day
we were on the trampoline back there and we were
jumping and she turned around looked at it, and I
(19:37):
was like, that's good. I said, that's Griffin's playhouse, and
she goes, Yep, Griffin's playhouse. She kind of like shook
her head and then she looked at me. She goes,
when is Griffin's playhouse? And I was like soon, babe, soon.
So I told Dad that, and he has been on
a mission to get that thing. Like he's like, she
(19:57):
said that she We're gonna get that up for her.
So now it's gonna be your Christmas present. And we
framed it, we put the floors in. We just gotta Yeah.
So he's been grand. He's been on a he's been
on a tear. That's what Grandy's up to. That's the
Grandy update. Yeah. These He went to an estate sale
last weekend. There, he goes to estate sales every weekend.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
We did get a good buy on some two for
dB the other day. He told you about that. No,
I mean, we rolled up to this one place that
didn't have much nothing, and we're walking through there and
they had the big gallon jug of two four dB,
which is one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Now a hundred dollars a big shocker, doesn't surprise me
at all. There had been maybe two ounces poured out
of it. I gave two bucks for the whole two dollars.
That's what I'm talking about. That's the that's the beauty
of in a state cell any yard. Yeah, a lot
of it's like a lot of the times you're gonna
waste your kid lot of kid clothes, a lot of
(20:53):
books and CDs and vinyls and stuff. Yeah, but uh,
every every now and then you can stumble across, you know,
a couple of brand new box fans. That's what I
got at the Zua. I got two brand new box fans.
I found a giant box like cardboard box of brand
new steel wrap Bungee cords. I bet there were seventy
(21:13):
five in there. I gave five bucks for the whole thing. Yeah,
and they're fifteen dollars. That's pretty good topic. Honestly, we
can kind of touch on since we're not sure what
we're doing today. What do you feel like is your
best find at a sale like that? Or you know
what I mean, like or maybe even marketplace or something like,
what's something you look at and you're like, man, I
(21:33):
still did I'll go first. It's the I got that
primo grill. You remember that bro I was gonna say,
my green ad, my extra large green ex. Well, you
go first because mine's better than yours. Well, you help me.
And that's the thing about marketplace is like we are
I'm an avid marketplace and I don't buy a ton
of stuff on Marketplace. But I'm on there constantly because
(21:55):
you gotta you know, these days, man, everybody's on it.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
They' ain't a deer stand in the wood our woods
that we didn't buy on Marketplace.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I just bought one two days ago, and so I
got a great deal on it. So I'm saying, we
both have millennium fold out benches that we both got
on Marketplace for way under. We gotta tell that story.
That's a good one. That's a good one. See, I
knew just such a good one that I went and bought. Remember, yeah, yeah,
so we're looking on let me tell you've talked about
(22:23):
So we're looking online. Me, Dan and Dad are all
every night. Would you say you go on Facebook Marketplace
every night at multiples, like one of the last things
I look at before I go to bed, just to
make sure and if I see something, I message them
go to sleep. They'll So I'm on Marketplace and I
see a millennium bench, a fold out double two seater bench,
(22:48):
and these things are nice, man, which, by the way,
if you had ever sat or hunting out one of
those around just makes a good product. Their stands are awesome.
There are sponsor US. Uh yeah, but they're like quality,
just quality stuff. The seats are awesome, super comfortable. I
get on there, I see a Millennium bench fifty bucks
hunder and I'm like, oh, you know immediately was it
(23:11):
fifty bucks? Yes, fifty dollars literally fifty dollars, and I
actually think it was like one hundred dollars, That's what
I thought. Yeah, I think it was one hundred dollars.
And I messaged the guy. I was like, hey, I
can come pick it up in the morning. You let
me know where. He was like oh, He's like, well,
he said, there's one guy in front of you, and
if he doesn't if he's supposed to come look at
(23:33):
it in the morning, if he doesn't buy it, I'll
let you know and you come pick it up. I
was like, perfect, So I don't think anything else about it.

may be asking, well, did he not see that the
last names are both I Isbel, Well, mine's not.

the truth. The only reason I have Facebook is Mark.

twenty eight. And then dad made me bring somebody home
from church that lived far away and he came over.
He came over and I took an app and he
logged on to my my, uh, what did you what

something like tournament snippers or whatever.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
And he while I was sleeping, he went on there
and got on it was playing competitive snoppers. Stud got
me up to like a fifty. Yeah. Oh he was good. No,
I was ranked twenty eight. I was like, well, I
didn't go down. Was like a golf score trying one
was the best in the world. I think maybe I'm wrong.
I mean I don't think it was like, I don't
think you were number twenty eight in the world. Anyway,
(27:54):
he got he got me like. I woke up and
it was like, oh man, anyway, red rawsh grillgo oh.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
So he says, have you ever heard of a Primo
And I said, no, I've never heard of a Primo
Grace that's kind of the same thing, which in fact,
it is the exact same thing. It's just shaped like
an oval. So I that night I got home and
I opened it up and there was a Primo x
L with a table at metal remember, brand new rolling
(28:27):
unbelievable table for thirty dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
It's crazy, man, and I gave her twenty. I messaged
her immediately, was like, dude, I can't give you what
you're asking on there. For some reason, I can't do it.
Always got to ask for you can't do it. Yeah,
all well, I don't think I've ever done it, but anyway,
I'm gonna come at you with it.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
So we loaded it with a tractor into the back
of my truck and it rolled straight off my tailgate
right onto my deck. And I'm telling you I cook
on that thing. Yeah, no, less than sixteen times a month. Yeah,
probably more than that, yeah, honest.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, half the week, yeah, half three week, three four
days and night.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I mean I cooked on the last night. I did too,
So I'm just saying, like we smoked. I don't even
have a gas grill anymore. I only use And I'm
telling you the table alone is like eight hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Can I tell you how I'm cooking my steaks now?
I'm gonna bet that entire set up.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
New from home depot twenty three hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I gave twenty dollars for try this next time you
cook a ribby. All Right, we gotta get some deer stuff. Yeah,
try this next time you cook a ribb. I got
one more green egg. Story, that's great, and then we'll
get into the door. Hurry, get a thick rubbi. If
you got a Costco membership, go get theirs and get
the thick ones because they are jammed up. Dude, it's
great cuts anyway, thick. Put it in the oven. Get
your get your oven three seventy five. Put it in
(29:57):
the oven. If you've got a meter or some type
of thermometer, put it in there. Cook it to one
ten internal, get your grill ready outside, take it off, flash,
seer each side till one twenty five internal. Dude. That's
it's how I cook roobu's for the rest of my life.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Do you do you feel like you you lose the
smoke taste?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
No, cause it's on the grill long enough to get that,
because your grill's already going. So if you throw it
on there, flash because you're leaving it on there, probably
two minutes maybe minute minute and a half to get
it up to one twenty five one thirty and get
it hot enough to where it's gonna crust it instead
of just like slow like try to not. Don't try
to slow cook it. Get it to seven hundred. Ye man,
I'm telling you. It is stupid, dude, it is stupid.
(30:40):
They're really good. One more green egg story. Uh, this
has to do with hunting too, so it works. Uh.
I was dating a girl in Nashville one time, and
it was the first weekend of both season September, so
football had just started. Huge huge football fan. Uh she was.
(31:03):
She was living with another roommate who they went to
the same college. Big game coming up. They saved their
money and bought a green Egg together, and we're having
it gonna. I was gonna pick it up and deliver
it to their their condo that same day. I was
leaving to go on a hunting trip for like three
or four days. So they're all excited. I show up
(31:26):
that morning pick them up. They're, you know, highly hopped
into the truck. We rolled at the big green Egg
store or whatever over here. Hearth and Home I think
is what it was or something. Maybe that's that. Uh
it's Hearth and Home. Actually is that the target brand?
Speaker 3 (31:40):
That?
Speaker 1 (31:41):
What's her face does? Anyway? Bought a green Egg. It
was like the medium sized one. They gave us. The
roller so we took it back. They lettered it. We
brought it back to her apartment condo. Thing. Take it
off the truck. I mean like, I'm like, do it
like this, and barely they're helping me. I put it
on the roller and start to roll it and instead
(32:01):
of pulling it, I'm pushing it. We get it all
the way, get it up off the curb. I mean, dude,
they've got football already rolling and you can hear it
outside and I'm gonna roll this thing in there. They
bought the we got the charcoal and everything. Dude. On
the last turn that one of the sidewalk cracks was
like the lip of it was up a little bit
(32:22):
and I was pushing and I went and I hit
that thing power break. It went started going and I
was holding on to the thing that was tipping over.
Why do you strap it to the doll? And I
was going on, I didn't have a doll. It was
on the egg like roller. I was pushing the the yeah,
where the wooden handle that you lift and the start
I was pushing. I went to it and I was like, no,
(32:44):
those things are seramic. Shattered. It shattered and I was
like and they were like, and I was like, oh
my gosh, I'm so sorry. I gotta go hunting. And
I left for three days. So what happened with the grill?
Did they get a new one? It was an under warranty,
(33:06):
it was yeah, so, but they obviously didn't get they
didn't have smoking hot dogs that they were going to
cook on that thing. Hot dogs. I mean, I'm probably
cooking hot dogs on it. Okay, smoking Stuff's awesome. Yeah,
smoke moment in your life, it's great. Hugh mac eighty
seven wants to hear the best like our deer story together,
(33:32):
and I don't know that lunch of those. I don't
know what I think of one. So I think we
just do like a quick bounce back recap of some
of some great hunts we've had together, or store terrible
hunts or terrible I will say this, we just got
to sit in the deer stand together. We put up
we put on a double set behind dance House a
(33:53):
long time ago to hunt this big deer and ended
up scaring it off because we got in the stand late.
But we just together all the time, and especially when
we were doing like the Brothers shunt filming thing and
we had cameras up there and all they did have kids,
and then we had kids and far wives. Yeah and
uh and now we have kids and wives and houses
and jobs and other stuff and we but we did
get to sit together and us stand the other night
(34:15):
for the first time and probably three or four years,
and oh my god, it was awesome. Yeah, it was
just it probably would have been awesome, just just even
if you weren't there, if I was just sitting other
by myself, or we didn't see any deer or see
the biggest deer on your property. But all those things happened.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
And yeah, we saw the biggest deer with my property
and uh, just absolute zero.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Desire to kill it. And that was part of the
reason for going at seeing if this deer was was
a shooter or not.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
The cool thing, the cool thing that happened is we're like,
all right, we're gonna go take some dos. We need
to take some does off this property. I mean reality,
I could stand to lose eight to ten dose.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Grab the boats, take some does.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah, so we're popping up and uh, it gets to
be five o'clock. Well not five o'clock now that time
has changed, but at the time it was five o'clock
deer coming out.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
We see this dough.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I'm like, all right, bro, like smoker, man, smoker, let's
get her out of here.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I grabbed my bow about that time. Yearling runs out
of the two years two yearlings one though, flies out
of the woods, and I am like, mid drawl on
this dough. You were that far into it. I was
about to, I mean I was. I had released song
drawing back, and this yearling came bolting out from the woods.
Michael Bolton went directly under her and started suckling, and
(35:35):
she was like trying to kick it off. Couldn't do it. No,
that was over at that point. I couldn't. I'm not
shooting MoMA. Dear dude, you know they probably happened. I mean,
it's like a daycare at my place.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
There's so many yearlings, good things still with those not
old those yeah Siren kids, Syron kids, and so we
were watching them and you see one of them kind
of lock in on the corner that I can't see
to the reeds.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Right directly down win too, actually.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Directly down when and what you say earlier, like I
took my hat off and read was like you smell
like trust me.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, dude, I got there's like a little breeze came
through and you smell like you had just jumped like
a flower or flower bed. Dude. You know anyway, my
wife owns a salon, so I get good champoo. That's
why you think I'm not saying I don't know, I'm
just happened. Yeah, but dude, we're gonna go sit to
try to kill a deer though it could have been
(36:28):
a buck if he had been So he comes out,
reads like something to the right, something to the right,
and sure enough, outsteps one hundred and thirty five inches
tend point. That's beautiful. Yeah, four year old, I think,
And he's awesome. Man. I hope he lives. And that's
till Dan. I was like, dude, I hope that we
have the same experience two years from now and he's
one hundred and sixty years three, your whole daddy walking
(36:50):
around back there. Anyway, it was a lot, It was
a lot of fun. That was a great time, great
one of the first like big mature buck bucks that
Dan I think either of us had killed off that property.
(37:11):
When me and Dan got into like when he could
drive and I could go with him, and Dad had
stuff to do. We started just like we would walk
in together and Dan would drop me and then walk
to his stand like or I would. I would walk
in with Dan, he'd go to his stand, and I'd
keep going on. So this particular day, it was November
ruddy going on in West Tennessee, and we got in
(37:33):
there afternoon hunt Dan. I had a climber. Dan, Uh
this year, yeah, this year, this was not afternoon, this
was morning. Okay, we got in. I had a climber,
I knew the tree I wanted to be in. It
was kind of we were hunting this one same ridge
system kind of just like a horseshoe ridge, a lot
of saddles, a lot of a lot of benches, some
(37:53):
like great funnels and stuff in there. It's just a
big deer like like it's a great r rut set.
I'm gonna sit it this weekend, actually, I think. But uh,
we go in. We're walking on this bench. I peel off,
go to this tree, start putting my climber on. Dan
make sure I'm good, and he walks on. Well, I
had just gotten up, like climb myself up with a climber,
(38:16):
which is a job if you know what you're if
you're if you're hunting with a climber. I get to
the top, get it all set, just sit down, and
I hear maybe ten fifteen minutes goes by, and I
hear just in the direction Dan walked, and I stopped,
and I was like, what, what in the world? And
then I was like, we were close enough that I
(38:38):
felt like at that point I could just scream your
name and see if you answered. And do you remember
I went no, I went Dan, and you went, oh
really And I was like what and you went, come on, yeah,
And I was like huh. I was like, down in
hindsight looking at that, we're probably twohundred and fifty hours away. Yeah,
(38:59):
we were for hour and I remember, I remember sneaky walking.
I remember jumping out of the I got down far enough,
like ten feet maybe seven eight feet from the ground.
I remember grabbing my gun, jumping out of the tree stand,
doing a ninja roll onto the leaves, and I remember
sprinting because at this point we still alread eat up
with it. But at this point big deer is what
(39:22):
we lived for. I mean like we were doing the
brand and we were trying to kill big deer. To
do the thing. And I remember sprinting as fast as
I could and getting back there, like with all those
insulated clothes on, and I run up and sure enough
that deer is laying.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
I was sneaky, sneaky, sneaking through the woods because it
was actually I think it was like the morning after
a rain, and it was real quiet, and.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
I was just perfect, like big deal it was. It was.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
And as I got to where kind of my stand was,
a doe popped over the top.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Of the hill and she just she was fifty yards
in front. She just ran and stopped at like twenty yards.
She was twenty yards from me on a logging road
because I was walking along road and turned and looked
at me and was just looking at me and went
down to eating acorns, and I was like, what is happening?
And then she turned around and looked over her shoulder
and I was like, oh, snap, there's a buck on her.
(40:20):
And he was like, man, yeah, yeah, coming through the woods.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
I was like, is this happening to me? Like is
this really happening? Because that never happens, dude. It feels
like it never happens anyway, at least at that point
in time. It never happened.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Always happened to dad, dad, or everybody else in the world,
but just not us. And sure enough, the buck topped
the hill and stopped. And where he stopped there was
an embankment above me, and all I could see was
this white throat patch in his head, and he was
doing like this. He was looking at me, looking at her,
looking at me, looking at her. She was eating acorns
(40:54):
like I wasn't even there. It was the craziest, craziest thing, dude.
And so he wouldn't leave. And one time he turned
and it was just breaking. It was still really dark.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
He was looking at her, and I pulled my gun
up free handed, and I put it on him, like
twenty five yards and when he turned back, I was like, oh,
that's he's a donkey, you know, he's a big deer.
And when he turned back to look at me, I
shot him right in that white throat patch. And I
didn't know if I hit him or not. And so
I go running up there and he's laying there, and
that's when you were like. I was like, come on,
(41:28):
and so because I was wanting you to get there,
and so when you got there, I mean, it was
like chaos.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Maybe two minutes after I had shot the deer. I
mean it was super fast, and uh is that when
I was like, yeah, he's still kind of kicking. Was like,
he's kind of kicking a little bit. I don't know
what to do. I don't want HI run off. He said,
what I do? What should I do? On? Shoot his
ass again? So he's the shot is that, you know whatever?
(41:54):
He put him out. But that's a great deer. Up
until I was that was awesome ago. That was my
biggest deer never killed. I'll never forget that. That was
a lot of fun. One hundred and twenty nine inches
and three eighths. It's an awesome deer. There's not one
white tail that he's got this like blade brow time
that looks like a dagger. Yeah, great deer. His two's
(42:15):
kind of like go back, like okay, one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
I think about all the time that I almost told
you about this morning, but I decided not to because
I think it. I think it's funnier if it's a surprise.
It's when.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
We were really.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
Getting into filming, Like we did not go to the
woods without the other one. Somebody was filming either it
was your turn film or my turn Filmily, we'd alternate, alternate.
We did that for a while, even when we had
no deer on camera at all, it was still hunted
like that, you know. So it's just a hassle, dude.
And so we got into the point where you could tell, oh,
(42:53):
I remember, that's coming back to me now like that
Selendon songs.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
To little flashes of light and yeah, and I so
something happened. Okay, the flat do you already know? You know?
Speaker 2 (43:14):
You know the flap at the end of the flap
when we put that stand up. You remember we put
the sticks and then the flop down millennium and then
you couldn't go with me, or I couldn't go with
you or something.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
I couldn't go with you. That's what it was.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
I was running camera this day. You came down a
week prior and put the camera stand up above the
shooting stand.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
Is this coming back? I remember? So? Or vice versa.
For some reason, I felt like it was me that
put the kit that came down. No, it was it's
always me putting the stands there. So no, dude, this
was me. This was And so I came down.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
You were running camera and you said, And so that
morning we get to the stand, I had come down
me make sure I'm telling this clear. So i'd come
down a week before and put up the camera stand
above the Millennium step. And so as we get to
the tree, we're late and it was too high, right
like it was, and you were like, why did you
put that camera stand so high? I was like, well,
(44:26):
what's wrong with it? And you were like, well, the
limbs hang so far over that I'm just up there
and I can't film anything anyway. And I said, well,
if you hadn't been in Nashville with your girlfriend ixapt,
I said something, yeah, now I can't say on this podcast,
then it.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Would be in the right spot. So don't blame me
for doing it when you were two bits. Well, so
we get in this huge shouting whisper shouting match at
the bottom of the stand and we go up and
you get in the camera stand and I get in
there rare shooting stand and I'm passing you something and
(45:04):
you're and you pass it back, and when you did,
you just shoved it into my chest and I didn't
have my harness on yet, and like I kind of
like lost my balance on the stand as we're thirty
foot high and it's like six thirty of them were
word of late late, and we were both so mad.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
And when you did that, I got so mad that
I was like, yeah, when we get out, I sat down,
I sat down in my stand, few me.
Speaker 1 (45:34):
I mean so mad. This happened way more this one time.
So I was so mad, and we were at this point.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
I'm probably twenty five twenty six, when you're probably twenty
one twenty two. We're not kids, right, And I turned
around and I was so mad. I said, hey, man,
I said, here's what's about happen. I'm about to hang
it boa. I'm going to get on the ladder and
I'm going to the base of the tree, and then
(46:05):
I want you to get out of your stand, come
down the ladder, and when you get to the bottom
that ladder, I'm fixed on beat your ass.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
And I ain't coming down there. I'm just stay up here.
Because I was so mad.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
I think I we rarely ever fisted. We didn't ever
fist fight, honestly, but I was so mad that you
had almost killed me by slamming that that backpack into
my chest or that bow or whatever it was. I
was like, I was mad enough to physically fight you,
(46:40):
and you were like, okay, fine, I'm not coming down there.
Not like not that you were scared of it or whatever.
You're like, cool, man, Yeah, I have fun down there. Due,
I'm so glad we don't do that anymore. Man, So
much pressure and just like for.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
Self inflicted pressure for what we do. That was I mean, yes,
I do remember that time, but I mean there was
that time on the power line we did the same
thing where like I couldn't get the base, rider forgot
the bass or you forgot the base and we were like,
what are we doing this for? What are we sacrificing
all this thing? And it is just like it was
so goy. Yeah, I hope we never do that again.
(47:20):
It does sound fun though, actually we might be doing that. Yeah,
that's true, that's true. But that was a funny. Man.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
We've had some great we've had. I mean, okay, let's
do a quick hitter. We're of my favorites. Mulier in Montana.
That was every one of them? Yeah, which one that
was so fun? The first one where we all no, no, no,
The next one mine?
Speaker 1 (47:42):
Oh yeah, yeah, that was awesome. That was good every
Antelope hunt. Uh. I mean we've just we've had so
blessed man, honestly, just to do it together and for
all these years. And now we're in a position where
we're getting all these great opportunities to go on these
once in a lifetime hunt with your brother, my best friend,
(48:02):
my brother.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
Man, it's pretty cool. Yeah, a lot more to go.
I ain't gonna be behind the camera.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
I don't know. I've actually thought about taking like on
these years, we're like, sounds like neither of us gonna
behind the camera.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Dog, Oh I'm talking about this one. We're like the
other night I thought about taking it. Oh yeah, just
for fun.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
Well if now it's like palatifying man likes me, I kill.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
The big stir Imber killed my life, so I might
as well totally not take that it anyway.
Speaker 1 (48:31):
Yeah, A bonus episode is that it got any music?
You got any music? H updates or anything I do?
But I can't tell it at this moment, really really
that I don't know about. Dang what else did Jumps
put anything else on there? We need to talk about.
I do too, but I can't tell that that's moment either. Yeah, right,
(48:54):

music updates, new song I've written, or just one of
your We're not playing nothing. Hey, man, if you got
people still alive in your family that you hunted with,

Speaker 2 (49:28):
I would say Mussloader is a week from now when
you hear this, it will be a couple of days.
Tennessee Musloater has always been very good to me.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
I think, uh, I think Tennessee Musloader is a sleeper,
at least in our portion of the state. I think
deer are ready or are putting scrapes down. I think
by the time we get to like rut and in
like late November early December, they're off. They're off the scrape.
So I think right now till the last week in
November is a great time to get in the woods
(49:59):
because you're gonna be making scrapes. They're gonna be frequenting
those scrapes, checking out kind of they're gonna get their
inventory before they start chasing seeking. If you're gonna hunt
in hot weather, I would say, don't kill yourself to
be at the stand at lunch because honestly, those daring
it moving until the last ten minutes before dark anyway. Yeah,
(50:20):
hunt high pressures when that cold front rolls on, when
that first front, the front, when it rolls in, and
then when it rolls out, pressure is gonna be on
the rise. Hunt hunt the whole time. Yeah, hunt high
pressure on the front and on the back of of fronts. Yep,
there's your tip. Enjoyed it. Enjoyed the the bonus episode.
(50:41):

kids screaming unless no one starts screaming in the background
or crying, which I don't think he will. Yeah. Kind
(00:48):
of a kind of official official bonus today. Yeah, what
are we calling it? We should? We should name these
bonus episodes like probably later probably off camera, name them
so we don't have to sit here and people watch

Being poor? Keep grinding, dog, you'll get there. This warm
weather in November, Yeah, it's about to change though. So
this is being recorded. Are you sure it's about to change?
(01:40):
It's about to change for the this is coming next
week for muzzletter. Opening weekend of muslater is this weekend.
I'm excited about that. I think the weather's supposed to
be supposed to get better North Wand anyway, the people
are mad at daylight savings like that. I can't stand lights,
which I thought they were going to do away with. Yeah,
I thought they were like, like, I like, do some
(02:00):
legislation and just not. I think Trump said he was
going to get rid of it. Speaking of we're recording this.
By the time this comes out, some stuff's gonna change.
Maybe if it comes out, I mean, world made world mate.
This is a day before the election of the ELECTUS tomorrow,
so could get crazy. It's already gotten crazy. Yeah, we'll see,
(02:23):
it's already getting crazy. Curbs somebody said they're mad at curbs.
Probably got a wife in a car and scratch. Yeah.
Why does Christmas music have to start the day after Halloween?
Here's the truth.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It doesn't because I am a purist on not celebrating
Christmas until Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, I'm with that, because I'm with that. That's I
mean to me, Look, man, do I like a Christmas tree?
I love a Christmas tree? Do I want it up
all the time? Kind of.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But if I had it up all the time, it
wouldn't be as special to me as.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's a little premature to put now. Listen, I'm fine
with it if I go into your house, which I'm
not going to because I don't go anywhere because I
got two kids that are under the age of two.
But and you've got a Christmas tree up right now,
and you've got Christmas music rolling and like the Christmas
candle's going whatever. That's fine, But yeah, I'm the same way.
It's a little premature to put it up before. Just
(03:23):
got trail camera pictures and it looks like there's a
good deer somewhere, So I'll look at those of them
just a second while we're still podcasting. Yes, I'm mad
that God's Country doesn't release a new episode. I was
about to say thank you, Cale Hoffman, thank you and
not happening because thank you Cayle Hoffman. But that's it. Yeah, man,

pool with us. What his cowboy hat on it? He doesn't? Yeah, cool,
he's just like a It just feels like a blast
from the past, and it is refreshing. Man, well, because
we love that past, no doubt, and we're brought up
in it makes a lot of sense and it's really good.
(05:02):
It's a talent. Songs are really good. Have you seen
the video where he's playing in the bluegrass band when
he's like fourteen. It's like the first, the earliest video
that got him super clean, shaven, got a little I
think I have. Yeah, that's a young still smoking flat top.

have time for anything. This is a good one. When
people don't put the shopping cart back in the cart return,
you know, I'm I'm kind of mad at that when they, like,
especially if they take up a parking spot with it,
like if they just leave it in the corner of
an actual parking spot.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
That's you know, they said this the truest. That's like
the truest test of are you a good human or not?
Because there's no shopping cart, because the make up, there's
no repercussions for not returning. I know, but you just
make that.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
No. It is a show off character, I think for sure.
And it's like you have you can leave it and
you're not gonna get in trouble. Who were you and
no one's looking. Shout out John Wiggins, be a good one.
It beat somebody good. Somebody just replied with a truck
camera pick, which is cool. Yeah, of a buck making
(06:47):
us great. That's love that. I'm not mad at that
at all. No, not mad at that. And if you are,
you're mad at the wrong things. Political commercials. Yeah, it's
over now. Somebody's president. Somebody knew was president.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
The wind not doing what it's supposed to do when
I rattled in eleven point tonight, Kentucky Traveler, that's our boy.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Sorry, maybe by the time it's coming out, you have
travel and again, I hope you get them. Let me
tell you what I'm mad at real quick. Just we're
doing it. I guess sure. I'm kind of mad over
this squirrel situation. Have you seen this? What squirrel situation?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Okay, let me let me light you. So a fell
out of New York and I don't know. I don't
know a whole lot about this. I don't know if
it's New York City or if it's upstate. I really
don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I'm listening. I'm just looking a drug. A guy out
of New York sees a mama squirrel get hit by
a car. Okay, when he goes to like, as you know,
it's a mama squirrel, well because it has a baby, okay,
or it's I've never seen, or it's the dad with
I don't know anyway, have you ever seen a mama
(07:59):
squirrel with a baby squirrel behind it?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
No, neither sus already what I'm saying, well, I look,
I'm just putting it out there.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I'm just putting this out there. So so this guy
is driving. You want to tell a story now, I'm
just trying to. I'm trying to. I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I don't know the ends, and I don't know how
long it's toendail S world. Dude, I'm just saying. This
is how he says he acquired the squirrel. A mama
squirrel gets smacked. He picked he there's a baby squirrel there.
Maybe it fell out the tree, maybe still in the tree.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I don't maybe he traced the lineage. He takes the
baby squirrel home. He says he's going to nurse it
back to health, right, and then release him too the wall.
He gets to be eight months old, he's like feeding
milk and stuff, looking like this, dude, this is serious.
This is I can't believe you haven't seen that. I mean, well, actually,
I can totally believe you have sent it. So he
(08:51):
takes the squirrel home. You really have no idea about
the story? Yeah, I see social media it's gonna be
it makes it even better. So, uh, he takes the
squirrel home, eight months, raises the squirrel, and at the
end of eight months, he's like, Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
How big is this squrel? In eight months, the full.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Size squirrel, and it's like black, kind of cool looking,
like a darkool looking bock square.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
No, I think they just have like black squirrels there
for real? Where is it for New York? Yeah? Okay,
so I remember seeing him when I was in New
York actually at Central PARTI I remember seeing black squirrels.
I feel like we saw him in Boston too. So
when eight nuts out of my hand, so he, uh,
for real, I saw that. There's a picture of it.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I remember that kind of So he lets the squirrel
go off his back patio.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I'm assuming and I already know where this is going.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Squirrel shows back up a day later, half his tail
going this is He's saying this on a I've done
a little bit of research on this, not a lot,
but a little bit.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Oka says.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It shows back up, it's got half his tail. He's like,
I can't release, I can't.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I gotta keep this thing, right, is my pet squirrel out?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
So he starts a nonprofit rescue animal situation. Got like
thirteen horses, three mini ponies.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
From this squirrel.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Some goats names the squirrel Peanut, right, MoMA Peanut.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
How does MoMA know? Because everybody knows but you.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
So they call it like the Peanut Palace or something.
And the whole thing is around this squirrel. So he
also has a raccoon. I think the raccoon's name is Fred.
Not sure, boy that it's great raccoon. So he has
so Peanut.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
The squirrel becomes Instagram famous, has his own account and
amasses over five hundred thousand followers, just like the Daily
in the Life of Peanut.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, he's like the Star table. I mean, I never
noticed tafa tail in the videos. I saw sus sus
so he uh so, I don't know. I want to
say three years out on that moment.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Three years.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So three years he has this squirrel. Me and Mow
and have not talked about this, by the way, we
just so he uh yeah, it's just I'm just glad
that he knows read a.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Book or something. Dude, God talk about instead of going
deep diving on Peanut, the squirrels everywhere, So he uh
apparently not Just shut.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Up for five seconds, dude, get over the story. So
he has these things for three years, right, all the animals.
All of a sudden there's like a knock the door.
One day he comes to the door. I don't know
what this stands for. If you do, momen you can say,
but de c right, Department of Summer. Yeah, the way
(11:44):
I envision envision it. Men in black or like we animals.
We need to speak to you for sake. He comes
out cuffing, see him on the sidewalk. Go in, confiscate
Peanut and Fred. Take them, just those two, not all
the other.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
It wasn't all.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It wasn't everything else, was it. Yeah, the squirrel and record,
Like I said, Pen and Fred, they take they take
him right and he and so the guy goes on
the on the internet. It's like, I can't believe it
just happened to me, Like they just they just stole them.
(12:25):
Well they euthanize both of.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Them straight up. Dang.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, So everybody's really hot about it. I think maybe,
I mean, I'm assuming proper permit, you know what I mean,
because like you can't just have a squirrel. I know,
we had like uncles and stuff. I don't go record
down and had a squirrel. But it's not like you
can't really like have a squirrel.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
So but you shouldn't if you haven't, at least you
can't in New York. It is illegal to have a
squirrel on New Okay. So and what's the what's the
how do they want? How do they euthanize them? Why
they killed? Why do they just not let them go
out to the wild and Survival of the fitest exactly?
That's what I'm mad at. It's kind of messed up.
You just cut them loose. If it's true, the whole
thing sounds us but I mean I know that.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I mean they killed the squirrel because I mean there's
this huge revolt going. I hope you like where your
tax dollars are going instead of you know, deporting illegals there.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I will say, if there's squirrels and killing them, if
there's one thing that then look there's a lot of sure.
But if there's one thing the Internet is good for,
it is bringing to light some yeah that like people
have been getting away with in the past, you know
what I'm saying, Like that for instance, like whoever those
(13:47):
guys are that showed up that if all this is true,
took Peanut and Fred and euthanize them and that they
should they should be held to the fire. Dude, Yeah,
because that's not right. Doesn't feel if that's the law
in New York, that law needs to be changed. That
doesn't feel right. Doesn't feel right, you know, especially I'm
mad at that now. Yeah, yeah, we'll do some Actually, no,
(14:10):
you probably won't have to do any more research on.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It because it's so exposed at this point that it's
just like, but you know what, it's about to be
an election, so all that will go away tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
But anyway, it's kind of checked up. I thought, man,
who are you voting for? Hey, let's talk about let's
do some dear story stuff, all right, Yeah, because I
think tell me if I'm wrong. I think we posted
a thing that's like we're doing a bonus episode. Let
us know what you want to hear about. And there
(14:41):
was somebody mentioned. I want to hear if somebody asked,
what's Grandy up to? Just grand do you know what?
I just buying the stuff at the state sales is
what's granted? This is what Grandy's up to. This is
pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
So the other day I found some Timmy sausage in
my freezer, a big.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Bag of it. Yeah, he's told me all about this,
he did, and I just gave him, like a so
you gave him Timmy sausage and then a giant piece
of ham off of a deer. Yeah that was thawed already,
so he had to cook all of it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So what I did, though, was I remember it was
a Kentucky dough that I didn't have time to process,
so I just cut whole muscles off and I would
wrap the whole muscle and freeze whole muscles and like
I can get back And that's a pretty.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Common thing for me if it's warm, especially if you're
hunting out of state trying to get back on.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I'll just uh, I'll just debone and then I'll de
muscle and I I had it cleaned up real good,
but something happened I couldn't cook for like the next
two days. So I just kind of package dealed it
to him without him knowing it, and uh.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
He said, what do we doing this, muscle man? I
was like, whatever you want to, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
So he started cut Dude, I'm telling you this is
for all those listeners out there like deer that her
own ag are significantly better tasting.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Of course they are. Man. Yeah, So he calls, He's like,
you're gonna come over and eat some of this stuff.
I'm like, dude, no, I want to. I wish I could.
I wish I could come over there right now, But
if you need bringing it to my doorstep, I'm not
gonna eat any of that deer unless it's a couple
of days old.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
He's like, cool, I'm gonna cook a whole bunch. So
I do have plans to go back by there and
murder somebody.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, I might do it today. I might do it
after this podcast. There is some fried deer steak and
when dad cooks, like dad, don't Dad? Yeah, Grandy, sorry,
he was up to you. When Grandy cooks, My dad's
name is Randy, my our kids and his grandparents granddad
name is Grandy, which is one of I would put
(16:38):
it up, not his granddad, but his name as a granddad.
That's what I said. No, you kind of mess it up.
He's one of the greatest granddad names of all time. Right,
It's like if your name is Randy and then you
go by Grandy, it's great. Somebody might say that you
did not make that up. You did not make that up.
But when when Grandy cooks, man, he just whether it's
(17:01):
a fish fry, whether it's steak, whether it's deer ten
or one, whether it's minute steak, fried deer steak. He
cooks batches dude like I mean, just table fools, and
then calls everybody and expects everybody to come over and
eat all of it with him, or he'll take it
to the guys at the dunk. He'll take him fresh
(17:21):
biscuits and gravy. And we're at the estate sales. Yeah,
because they give him free stuff. I shouldn't say that.
They do not give him, so they don't don't stuff over.
They don't know that he wants they're buy the book, don't.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
It's right, Yeah, I gotta tell this story because he's helping.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Me build my little girl or her playhouse. My little
girl turns three in May. So she turned two this
past May, and for her birthday present, I was going
to build her a playhouse in the backyard, like a
nice one, a frame, porch, slid steps, the whole thing. Well,
I've got zero time in the world, so I didn't
(18:06):
get it up in time, and so it's we just
got the post. I just I just set the post
six four by fours and just set it so far
away from your house, because I want my backyard like
I've got a huge backyard, but I want the the
initial backyard to like be yours, like my area the garden. No,
I'm just, and we've got enough room to put it
(18:29):
back where it's at. It gets great. You have plenty
of room, plenty of room. It gets great. Shade back there, shade.
She can have her own. It's not like in the backyard.
She can have her own little escape to her own
little playhouse. Right now. She is cool. Why was there
a rule that you have to put a playhouse, mowan.
Is there a rule? I don't know about it. You
have to put a playhouse right right behind your house.
(18:50):
It seems significantly far to me, dude, there's a garden
in the backyard. There's the flower patch, there's the fire pit,
there's another little shit. There's too much in the back
yard already. It's pretty open back there. Farther back. I
think it's a great spot for a playhouse. Back I
can just see her running for a minute to get
back there.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That's here a minute. You're trying to wear her out
for naptime. I'm just trying let her have her own spot.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
But anyway, so all summer we've been jumping on the
trampoline and swinging close to where Griffin's playhouse, and we'll
ride the forther and every time we pass it, I'd
be like, that's Griffin's playhouse, which granted it's only it's
four six four by fours in the ground, and she'd
be like, Yep, that's Griffin's playhouse. So the other day
we were on the trampoline back there and we were
jumping and she turned around looked at it, and I
(19:37):
was like, that's good. I said, that's Griffin's playhouse, and
she goes, Yep, Griffin's playhouse. She kind of like shook
her head and then she looked at me. She goes,
when is Griffin's playhouse? And I was like soon, babe, soon.
So I told Dad that, and he has been on
a mission to get that thing. Like he's like, she
(19:57):
said that she We're gonna get that up for her.
So now it's gonna be your Christmas present. And we
framed it, we put the floors in. We just gotta Yeah.
So he's been grand. He's been on a he's been
on a tear. That's what Grandy's up to. That's the
Grandy update. Yeah. These He went to an estate sale
last weekend. There, he goes to estate sales every weekend.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
We did get a good buy on some two for
dB the other day. He told you about that. No,
I mean, we rolled up to this one place that
didn't have much nothing, and we're walking through there and
they had the big gallon jug of two four dB,
which is one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Now a hundred dollars a big shocker, doesn't surprise me
at all. There had been maybe two ounces poured out
of it. I gave two bucks for the whole two dollars.
That's what I'm talking about. That's the that's the beauty
of in a state cell any yard. Yeah, a lot
of it's like a lot of the times you're gonna
waste your kid lot of kid clothes, a lot of
(20:53):
books and CDs and vinyls and stuff. Yeah, but uh,
every every now and then you can stumble across, you know,
a couple of brand new box fans. That's what I
got at the Zua. I got two brand new box fans.
I found a giant box like cardboard box of brand
new steel wrap Bungee cords. I bet there were seventy
(21:13):
five in there. I gave five bucks for the whole thing. Yeah,
and they're fifteen dollars. That's pretty good topic. Honestly, we
can kind of touch on since we're not sure what
we're doing today. What do you feel like is your
best find at a sale like that? Or you know
what I mean, like or maybe even marketplace or something like,
what's something you look at and you're like, man, I
(21:33):
still did I'll go first. It's the I got that
primo grill. You remember that bro I was gonna say,
my green ad, my extra large green ex. Well, you
go first because mine's better than yours. Well, you help me.
And that's the thing about marketplace is like we are
I'm an avid marketplace and I don't buy a ton
of stuff on Marketplace. But I'm on there constantly because
(21:55):
you gotta you know, these days, man, everybody's on it.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
They' ain't a deer stand in the wood our woods
that we didn't buy on Marketplace.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I just bought one two days ago, and so I
got a great deal on it. So I'm saying, we
both have millennium fold out benches that we both got
on Marketplace for way under. We gotta tell that story.
That's a good one. That's a good one. See, I
knew just such a good one that I went and bought. Remember, yeah, yeah,
so we're looking on let me tell you've talked about
(22:23):
So we're looking online. Me, Dan and Dad are all
every night. Would you say you go on Facebook Marketplace
every night at multiples, like one of the last things
I look at before I go to bed, just to
make sure and if I see something, I message them
go to sleep. They'll So I'm on Marketplace and I
see a millennium bench, a fold out double two seater bench,
(22:48):
and these things are nice, man, which, by the way,
if you had ever sat or hunting out one of
those around just makes a good product. Their stands are awesome.
There are sponsor US. Uh yeah, but they're like quality,
just quality stuff. The seats are awesome, super comfortable. I
get on there, I see a Millennium bench fifty bucks
hunder and I'm like, oh, you know immediately was it
(23:11):
fifty bucks? Yes, fifty dollars literally fifty dollars, and I
actually think it was like one hundred dollars, That's what
I thought. Yeah, I think it was one hundred dollars.
And I messaged the guy. I was like, hey, I
can come pick it up in the morning. You let
me know where. He was like oh, He's like, well,
he said, there's one guy in front of you, and
if he doesn't if he's supposed to come look at
(23:33):
it in the morning, if he doesn't buy it, I'll

from church that lived far away and he came over.
He came over and I took an app and he
logged on to my my, uh, what did you what

Speaker 1 (27:33):
And he while I was sleeping, he went on there
and got on it was playing competitive snoppers. Stud got
me up to like a fifty. Yeah. Oh he was good. No,
I was ranked twenty eight. I was like, well, I
didn't go down. Was like a golf score trying one
was the best in the world. I think maybe I'm wrong.
I mean I don't think it was like, I don't
think you were number twenty eight in the world. Anyway,
(27:54):
he got he got me like. I woke up and
it was like, oh man, anyway, red rawsh grillgo oh.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
So he says, have you ever heard of a Primo
And I said, no, I've never heard of a Primo
Grace that's kind of the same thing, which in fact,
it is the exact same thing. It's just shaped like
an oval. So I that night I got home and
I opened it up and there was a Primo x
L with a table at metal remember, brand new rolling
(28:27):
unbelievable table for thirty dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
It's crazy, man, and I gave her twenty. I messaged
her immediately, was like, dude, I can't give you what
you're asking on there. For some reason, I can't do it.
Always got to ask for you can't do it. Yeah,
all well, I don't think I've ever done it, but anyway,
I'm gonna come at you with it.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
So we loaded it with a tractor into the back
of my truck and it rolled straight off my tailgate
right onto my deck. And I'm telling you I cook
on that thing. Yeah, no, less than sixteen times a month. Yeah,
probably more than that, yeah, honest.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, half the week, yeah, half three week, three four
days and night.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I mean I cooked on the last night. I did too,
So I'm just saying, like we smoked. I don't even
have a gas grill anymore. I only use And I'm
telling you the table alone is like eight hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Can I tell you how I'm cooking my steaks now?
I'm gonna bet that entire set up.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
New from home depot twenty three hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I gave twenty dollars for try this next time you
cook a ribby. All Right, we gotta get some deer stuff. Yeah,
try this next time you cook a ribb. I got
one more green egg. Story, that's great, and then we'll
get into the door. Hurry, get a thick rubbi. If
you got a Costco membership, go get theirs and get
the thick ones because they are jammed up. Dude, it's
great cuts anyway, thick. Put it in the oven. Get
your get your oven three seventy five. Put it in
(29:57):
the oven. If you've got a meter or some type
of thermometer, put it in there. Cook it to one
ten internal, get your grill ready outside, take it off, flash,
seer each side till one twenty five internal. Dude. That's
it's how I cook roobu's for the rest of my life.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Do you do you feel like you you lose the
smoke taste?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
No, cause it's on the grill long enough to get that,
because your grill's already going. So if you throw it
on there, flash because you're leaving it on there, probably
two minutes maybe minute minute and a half to get
it up to one twenty five one thirty and get
it hot enough to where it's gonna crust it instead
of just like slow like try to not. Don't try
to slow cook it. Get it to seven hundred. Ye man,
I'm telling you. It is stupid, dude, it is stupid.
(30:40):
They're really good. One more green egg story. Uh, this
has to do with hunting too, so it works. Uh.
I was dating a girl in Nashville one time, and
it was the first weekend of both season September, so
football had just started. Huge huge football fan. Uh she was.
(31:03):
She was living with another roommate who they went to
the same college. Big game coming up. They saved their
money and bought a green Egg together, and we're having
it gonna. I was gonna pick it up and deliver
it to their their condo that same day. I was
leaving to go on a hunting trip for like three
or four days. So they're all excited. I show up
(31:26):
that morning pick them up. They're, you know, highly hopped
into the truck. We rolled at the big green Egg
store or whatever over here. Hearth and Home I think
is what it was or something. Maybe that's that. Uh
it's Hearth and Home. Actually is that the target brand?
Speaker 3 (31:40):
That?
Speaker 1 (31:41):
What's her face does? Anyway? Bought a green Egg. It
was like the medium sized one. They gave us. The
roller so we took it back. They lettered it. We
brought it back to her apartment condo. Thing. Take it
off the truck. I mean like, I'm like, do it
like this, and barely they're helping me. I put it
on the roller and start to roll it and instead
(32:01):
of pulling it, I'm pushing it. We get it all
the way, get it up off the curb. I mean, dude,
they've got football already rolling and you can hear it
outside and I'm gonna roll this thing in there. They
bought the we got the charcoal and everything. Dude. On
the last turn that one of the sidewalk cracks was
like the lip of it was up a little bit
(32:22):
and I was pushing and I went and I hit
that thing power break. It went started going and I
was holding on to the thing that was tipping over.
Why do you strap it to the doll? And I
was going on, I didn't have a doll. It was
on the egg like roller. I was pushing the the yeah,
where the wooden handle that you lift and the start
I was pushing. I went to it and I was like, no,
(32:44):
those things are seramic. Shattered. It shattered and I was
like and they were like, and I was like, oh
my gosh, I'm so sorry. I gotta go hunting. And
I left for three days. So what happened with the grill?
Did they get a new one? It was an under warranty,
(33:06):
it was yeah, so, but they obviously didn't get they
didn't have smoking hot dogs that they were going to
cook on that thing. Hot dogs. I mean, I'm probably
cooking hot dogs on it. Okay, smoking Stuff's awesome. Yeah,
smoke moment in your life, it's great. Hugh mac eighty
seven wants to hear the best like our deer story together,
(33:32):
and I don't know that lunch of those. I don't
know what I think of one. So I think we
just do like a quick bounce back recap of some
of some great hunts we've had together, or store terrible
hunts or terrible I will say this, we just got
to sit in the deer stand together. We put up
we put on a double set behind dance House a
(33:53):
long time ago to hunt this big deer and ended
up scaring it off because we got in the stand late.
But we just together all the time, and especially when
we were doing like the Brothers shunt filming thing and
we had cameras up there and all they did have kids,
and then we had kids and far wives. Yeah and
uh and now we have kids and wives and houses
and jobs and other stuff and we but we did
get to sit together and us stand the other night
(34:15):
for the first time and probably three or four years,
and oh my god, it was awesome. Yeah, it was
just it probably would have been awesome, just just even
if you weren't there, if I was just sitting other
by myself, or we didn't see any deer or see
the biggest deer on your property. But all those things happened.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
And yeah, we saw the biggest deer with my property
and uh, just absolute zero.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Desire to kill it. And that was part of the
reason for going at seeing if this deer was was
a shooter or not.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
The cool thing, the cool thing that happened is we're like,
all right, we're gonna go take some dos. We need
to take some does off this property. I mean reality,
I could stand to lose eight to ten dose.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Grab the boats, take some does.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah, so we're popping up and uh, it gets to
be five o'clock. Well not five o'clock now that time
has changed, but at the time it was five o'clock
deer coming out.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
We see this dough.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I'm like, all right, bro, like smoker, man, smoker, let's
get her out of here.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I grabbed my bow about that time. Yearling runs out
of the two years two yearlings one though, flies out
of the woods, and I am like, mid drawl on
this dough. You were that far into it. I was
about to, I mean I was. I had released song
drawing back, and this yearling came bolting out from the woods.
Michael Bolton went directly under her and started suckling, and
(35:35):
she was like trying to kick it off. Couldn't do it. No,
that was over at that point. I couldn't. I'm not
shooting MoMA. Dear dude, you know they probably happened. I mean,
it's like a daycare at my place.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
There's so many yearlings, good things still with those not
old those yeah Siren kids, Syron kids, and so we
were watching them and you see one of them kind
of lock in on the corner that I can't see
to the reeds.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Right directly down win too, actually.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Directly down when and what you say earlier, like I
took my hat off and read was like you smell
like trust me.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, dude, I got there's like a little breeze came
through and you smell like you had just jumped like
a flower or flower bed. Dude. You know anyway, my
wife owns a salon, so I get good champoo. That's
why you think I'm not saying I don't know, I'm
just happened. Yeah, but dude, we're gonna go sit to
try to kill a deer though it could have been
(36:28):
a buck if he had been So he comes out,
reads like something to the right, something to the right,
and sure enough, outsteps one hundred and thirty five inches
tend point. That's beautiful. Yeah, four year old, I think,
And he's awesome. Man. I hope he lives. And that's
till Dan. I was like, dude, I hope that we
have the same experience two years from now and he's
one hundred and sixty years three, your whole daddy walking
(36:50):
around back there. Anyway, it was a lot, It was
a lot of fun. That was a great time, great
one of the first like big mature buck bucks that
Dan I think either of us had killed off that property.
(37:11):
When me and Dan got into like when he could
drive and I could go with him, and Dad had
stuff to do. We started just like we would walk
in together and Dan would drop me and then walk
to his stand like or I would. I would walk
in with Dan, he'd go to his stand, and I'd
keep going on. So this particular day, it was November
ruddy going on in West Tennessee, and we got in
(37:33):
there afternoon hunt Dan. I had a climber. Dan, Uh
this year, yeah, this year, this was not afternoon, this
was morning. Okay, we got in. I had a climber,
I knew the tree I wanted to be in. It
was kind of we were hunting this one same ridge
system kind of just like a horseshoe ridge, a lot
of saddles, a lot of a lot of benches, some
(37:53):
like great funnels and stuff in there. It's just a
big deer like like it's a great r rut set.
I'm gonna sit it this weekend, actually, I think. But uh,
we go in. We're walking on this bench. I peel off,
go to this tree, start putting my climber on. Dan
make sure I'm good, and he walks on. Well, I
had just gotten up, like climb myself up with a climber,
(38:16):
which is a job if you know what you're if
you're if you're hunting with a climber. I get to
the top, get it all set, just sit down, and
I hear maybe ten fifteen minutes goes by, and I
hear just in the direction Dan walked, and I stopped,
and I was like, what, what in the world? And
then I was like, we were close enough that I
(38:38):
felt like at that point I could just scream your
name and see if you answered. And do you remember
I went no, I went Dan, and you went, oh
really And I was like what and you went, come on, yeah,
And I was like huh. I was like, down in
hindsight looking at that, we're probably twohundred and fifty hours away. Yeah,
(38:59):
we were for hour and I remember, I remember sneaky walking.
I remember jumping out of the I got down far enough,
like ten feet maybe seven eight feet from the ground.
I remember grabbing my gun, jumping out of the tree stand,
doing a ninja roll onto the leaves, and I remember
sprinting because at this point we still alread eat up
with it. But at this point big deer is what
(39:22):
we lived for. I mean like we were doing the
brand and we were trying to kill big deer. To
do the thing. And I remember sprinting as fast as
I could and getting back there, like with all those
insulated clothes on, and I run up and sure enough
that deer is laying.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
I was sneaky, sneaky, sneaking through the woods because it
was actually I think it was like the morning after
a rain, and it was real quiet, and.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
I was just perfect, like big deal it was. It was.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
And as I got to where kind of my stand was,
a doe popped over the top.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Of the hill and she just she was fifty yards
in front. She just ran and stopped at like twenty yards.
She was twenty yards from me on a logging road
because I was walking along road and turned and looked
at me and was just looking at me and went
down to eating acorns, and I was like, what is happening?
And then she turned around and looked over her shoulder
and I was like, oh, snap, there's a buck on her.
(40:20):
And he was like, man, yeah, yeah, coming through the woods.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
I was like, is this happening to me? Like is
this really happening? Because that never happens, dude. It feels
like it never happens anyway, at least at that point
in time. It never happened.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Always happened to dad, dad, or everybody else in the world,
but just not us. And sure enough, the buck topped
the hill and stopped. And where he stopped there was
an embankment above me, and all I could see was
this white throat patch in his head, and he was
doing like this. He was looking at me, looking at her,
looking at me, looking at her. She was eating acorns
(40:54):
like I wasn't even there. It was the craziest, craziest thing, dude.
And so he wouldn't leave. And one time he turned
and it was just breaking. It was still really dark.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
He was looking at her, and I pulled my gun
up free handed, and I put it on him, like
twenty five yards and when he turned back, I was like, oh,
that's he's a donkey, you know, he's a big deer.
And when he turned back to look at me, I
shot him right in that white throat patch. And I
didn't know if I hit him or not. And so
I go running up there and he's laying there, and
that's when you were like. I was like, come on,
(41:28):
and so because I was wanting you to get there,
and so when you got there, I mean, it was
like chaos.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Maybe two minutes after I had shot the deer. I
mean it was super fast, and uh is that when
I was like, yeah, he's still kind of kicking. Was like,
he's kind of kicking a little bit. I don't know
what to do. I don't want HI run off. He said,
what I do? What should I do? On? Shoot his
ass again? So he's the shot is that, you know whatever?
(41:54):
He put him out. But that's a great deer. Up
until I was that was awesome ago. That was my
biggest deer never killed. I'll never forget that. That was
a lot of fun. One hundred and twenty nine inches
and three eighths. It's an awesome deer. There's not one
white tail that he's got this like blade brow time
that looks like a dagger. Yeah, great deer. His two's
(42:15):
kind of like go back, like okay, one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
I think about all the time that I almost told
you about this morning, but I decided not to because
I think it. I think it's funnier if it's a surprise.
It's when.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
We were really.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
Getting into filming, Like we did not go to the
woods without the other one. Somebody was filming either it
was your turn film or my turn Filmily, we'd alternate, alternate.
We did that for a while, even when we had
no deer on camera at all, it was still hunted
like that, you know. So it's just a hassle, dude.
And so we got into the point where you could tell, oh,
(42:53):
I remember, that's coming back to me now like that
Selendon songs.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
To little flashes of light and yeah, and I so
something happened. Okay, the flat do you already know? You know?
Speaker 2 (43:14):
You know the flap at the end of the flap
when we put that stand up. You remember we put
the sticks and then the flop down millennium and then
you couldn't go with me, or I couldn't go with
you or something.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
I couldn't go with you. That's what it was.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
I was running camera this day. You came down a
week prior and put the camera stand up above the
shooting stand.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
Is this coming back? I remember? So? Or vice versa.
For some reason, I felt like it was me that
put the kit that came down. No, it was it's
always me putting the stands there. So no, dude, this
was me. This was And so I came down.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
You were running camera and you said, And so that
morning we get to the stand, I had come down
me make sure I'm telling this clear. So i'd come
down a week before and put up the camera stand
above the Millennium step. And so as we get to
the tree, we're late and it was too high, right
like it was, and you were like, why did you
put that camera stand so high? I was like, well,
(44:26):
what's wrong with it? And you were like, well, the
limbs hang so far over that I'm just up there
and I can't film anything anyway. And I said, well,
if you hadn't been in Nashville with your girlfriend ixapt,
I said something, yeah, now I can't say on this podcast,
then it.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Would be in the right spot. So don't blame me
for doing it when you were two bits. Well, so
we get in this huge shouting whisper shouting match at
the bottom of the stand and we go up and
you get in the camera stand and I get in
there rare shooting stand and I'm passing you something and
(45:04):
you're and you pass it back, and when you did,
you just shoved it into my chest and I didn't
have my harness on yet, and like I kind of
like lost my balance on the stand as we're thirty
foot high and it's like six thirty of them were
word of late late, and we were both so mad.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
And when you did that, I got so mad that
I was like, yeah, when we get out, I sat down,
I sat down in my stand, few me.
Speaker 1 (45:34):
I mean so mad. This happened way more this one time.
So I was so mad, and we were at this point.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
I'm probably twenty five twenty six, when you're probably twenty
one twenty two. We're not kids, right, And I turned
around and I was so mad. I said, hey, man,
I said, here's what's about happen. I'm about to hang
it boa. I'm going to get on the ladder and
I'm going to the base of the tree, and then
(46:05):
I want you to get out of your stand, come
down the ladder, and when you get to the bottom
that ladder, I'm fixed on beat your ass.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
And I ain't coming down there. I'm just stay up here.
Because I was so mad.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
I think I we rarely ever fisted. We didn't ever
fist fight, honestly, but I was so mad that you
had almost killed me by slamming that that backpack into
my chest or that bow or whatever it was. I
was like, I was mad enough to physically fight you,
(46:40):
and you were like, okay, fine, I'm not coming down there.
Not like not that you were scared of it or whatever.
You're like, cool, man, Yeah, I have fun down there. Due,
I'm so glad we don't do that anymore. Man, So
much pressure and just like for.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
Self inflicted pressure for what we do. That was I mean, yes,
I do remember that time, but I mean there was
that time on the power line we did the same
thing where like I couldn't get the base, rider forgot
the bass or you forgot the base and we were like,
what are we doing this for? What are we sacrificing
all this thing? And it is just like it was
so goy. Yeah, I hope we never do that again.
(47:20):
It does sound fun though, actually we might be doing that. Yeah,
that's true, that's true. But that was a funny. Man.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
We've had some great we've had. I mean, okay, let's
do a quick hitter. We're of my favorites. Mulier in Montana.
That was every one of them? Yeah, which one that
was so fun? The first one where we all no, no, no,
The next one mine?
Speaker 1 (47:42):
Oh yeah, yeah, that was awesome. That was good every
Antelope hunt. Uh. I mean we've just we've had so
blessed man, honestly, just to do it together and for
all these years. And now we're in a position where
we're getting all these great opportunities to go on these
once in a lifetime hunt with your brother, my best friend,
(48:02):
my brother.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
Man, it's pretty cool. Yeah, a lot more to go.
I ain't gonna be behind the camera.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
I don't know. I've actually thought about taking like on
these years, we're like, sounds like neither of us gonna
behind the camera.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Dog, Oh I'm talking about this one. We're like the
other night I thought about taking it. Oh yeah, just
for fun.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
Well if now it's like palatifying man likes me, I kill.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
The big stir Imber killed my life, so I might

Speaker 1 (48:31):
Yeah, A bonus episode is that it got any music?
You got any music? H updates or anything I do?
But I can't tell it at this moment, really really
that I don't know about. Dang what else did Jumps
put anything else on there? We need to talk about.
I do too, but I can't tell that that's moment either. Yeah, right,
(48:54):
is anything else on no. I think that's it. Any
music updates, new song I've written, or just one of
your We're not playing nothing. Hey, man, if you got
people still alive in your family that you hunted with,
go hunting with them. That's really all that matters to
us now at this point. It's just doing it together

Speaker 2 (49:28):
I would say Mussloader is a week from now when
you hear this, it will be a couple of days.
Tennessee Musloater has always been very good to me.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
I think, uh, I think Tennessee Musloader is a sleeper,
at least in our portion of the state. I think
deer are ready or are putting scrapes down. I think
by the time we get to like rut and in
like late November early December, they're off. They're off the scrape.
So I think right now till the last week in
November is a great time to get in the woods
(49:59):
because you're gonna be making scrapes. They're gonna be frequenting
those scrapes, checking out kind of they're gonna get their
inventory before they start chasing seeking. If you're gonna hunt
in hot weather, I would say, don't kill yourself to
be at the stand at lunch because honestly, those daring
it moving until the last ten minutes before dark anyway. Yeah,
(50:20):
hunt high pressures when that cold front rolls on, when
that first front, the front, when it rolls in, and
then when it rolls out, pressure is gonna be on
the rise. Hunt hunt the whole time. Yeah, hunt high
pressure on the front and on the back of of fronts. Yep,
there's your tip. Enjoyed it. Enjoyed the the bonus episode.
