channel. I trying to get allthat going and one percent battery presents some
issues. And well came well prepared, apparently got a little discombobulated. And
then we were sitting there and everybodywas telling stories about stuff we can't talk
about on the air. It wouldbe good, it would be funny,

(00:47):
but you'd have to take the cursewords out, you'd have to take the
references things you can't talk about onair. But by that time and all
the funnies are gone. Well,what was funny about it? It was
all the things we couldn't save funny. Unfortunately, they're good stories, man.
Some of the people that we encounterin our lives, especially Fred,

(01:07):

H Were you about to tell astory? Yeah? This is out in
Colorado last week and went up tothe bar and watched the f s U
game, and uh, the luckwould have it. This is my luck.

(04:24):
Saddle up to the bar to watchthe game and here come some dude
dressed up in a gator outfit,you know outfit. I was you,
I have my seming old stuff on. So they had this onion ring tower.
They have a there was a towerfull of onion rings. I took
a picture of it them. I'llshow it to you. Uh was pretty

(04:46):
good. Yeah, I did well, he didn't do Facebook. So yeah,
it's uh. They they had atower of onion rings, all these
different sauces. You have stuffs inthe middle where you could dip them.
Yeah, you have my attention,You have my full attention, sir.
There was it was good looking stuff. So it's it's like a one of
those onion to cool. I rememberseeing that. I can make I only

(05:12):
see one sauce is that there?And there there was a there's a green
some kind of avocado, maybe saundother kind of sauce. And uh,
of course my wife's mineral waters inthe pictures of that. De really didn't

it's not mineral water, No,it was. It's that clear one right
there there. You It looks empty, but it's not. Yeah, it

(05:35):
was some of that some of thatsome of that elf stuff you drink l
pete. Yeah, that's it.That's from an oppressor from a prior show
folks. Yeah, and of coursethey got legal weed out there. The
people are probably people on there area bunch of high stone people on the

(05:58):
ski sled. So so this misterattorney, let me ask you a question.
So if you you go to astate where weed is legal. Yeah,
I trying to get tongued out onthere's too many sounds in there.
So you go to a state likethat, or do you travel overseas sure,
something like that, and you consumesaid weed legally. But then you
come back, Yeah you can youyou fail your analysis, random drug tests

(06:25):
or something at work or you're so, so what happens you're fired? So
so your contract's legal to you,your contract with your employers that you can't
consume this stuff. You can't showup with this in your site. I
mean you could tell them, youknow, an employer at will and we're
we're an out will employee, stateemployer employee. Uh. And so if

(06:47):
your employer says you can't consume youknow, whatever substance. It could be
any subset. You can't drink cokecol can you? And you violate that.
That's your contract that you go intothat employment, you know, knowing
owing that you can't consume that.So no, you're not. You can't

(07:08):
go out there and and spoke likea pilot for example, Yeah, you
know I would. I hope,Hey, I want the Denver rout read.
I'll do the Denver out again andto mar too, maybe sleep.
I just wonder how prevalent is tosay if you if you go to Vegas

(07:29):
right now and you walk down,that's why I hate going to I tried
to explain that. Somebody, TommyCampbell from Safari Land, came by and
visited this year, and first question, you are going to shot this year?
Not if I can help it?Tommy, well why not? And
I was like, man, Ican't. I can't deal with that out
there, And he goes, whatare you talking about. I said,
you can't go outside out there?He goes, well, I don't ever
go outside. I stay in theI stay in the booth and then go

(07:51):
straight to the room and go outaIts like, is your old Tommy?
Yeah, next time you go outsideout, I said, go outside and
see if I ain't lying to you. I said, you can walk out
the door of a motel or casinoor whatever without just getting it. It's
just like somebody took a fin andblowing it in your face. It's all
you smell. I mean, I'mbording the plane in uh and uh you

(08:13):
know I'm walking. Yeah, yougot that little space as you're getting on
the plane with the air coming through. Somebody was smoking weed around there,
probably the guy putting you luggage onit, probably was taking us taking a
break. And the cockpit was open, and I'll look in there at the
pilot. I said, you guyssmoking weed in there, and they were
like, sir, that is nota funny joke. And I'm like,
well, I thought it was funny. Just the stewart is just laughing.

(08:37):
Jee kid's laughing over there. Imean, so, so my questions,
I guess my thought is so asprevalent as is in society today. I
mean, you can't get secondhand drunk. Okay, somebody's drinking right around me.

(08:58):
There's some fumes there sometimes, butbut you can get you can get
a you can be in a roomcontact. Yeah, that's what Toby Keith
what I think about. So ifif that were the case and you would
to test positive, is there Imean you still fired, Yeah, you
would be. I mean I geta lot of people come in and tell
me, you know, they're onsome kind of pre trial release, and

(09:20):
well, I was around somebody thatwas I was sitting sitting in the front.
That goes back to these those weren'tmy pants defense, which I have
heard I have multiple times. I'veactually had it work. It's not my
pants defense, it's not my pants, dury, and I'm looking at the
jury like you idiots. I mean, we've served a search one one night.

(09:45):
We we've padded him down after Isaw him put the pants on,
and just a random there were severalon the floor there in the room.
But we'll be back in a minute. Have you been diagnosed with a herniated
disc or arthritis in your back orneck? Doctor Joseph Miller, d C

(10:07):

(10:56):
my pants. So it was whenI was working at fu Police Department and
we were doing a this long longtime ago. We're doing a back when
we used to walk through the dorms, you know, and we we really
didn't go into dorms a lot unlessyou started having trouble with a certain dorm
or whatever. In this particular SallyHall, as you remember, it was
the tongue towers too too big tall? What seven story seven eight story dormitories

(11:22):
that were there were twin towers,they were identical and with a space in
between, and uh going through there, and they had pulled the fire alarm
and it was the middle of winter, and those kids in that dorm had
pulled the fire alarm like eight times, that's by the way. Yeah,
they had, they had, andthey had made the fire department guys mad,
which in turn they start getting madwith us because we're not doing anything

(11:45):
aback so whatever else. So nextnight we come to work and I was
a I was a ship supervisor andI put some of my my employees.
I said, y'all go walk themdorms and anytime you if you hear ruckus
going on a party and going onin a room, knock and talk.
Okay, knock on the door.They answer the door. Hey, how
you doing with the police department.Blah blah blah. Here's you know,
we've been having trouble. Just youcan do that. You can knock on

(12:05):
the police officer. Go knock onsomebody's door. You ain't got to answer.
People all have to answer. Buthe got a all those doors too,
by the way, never used them. I never used them, not
for that anyway. Uh so Ihave that no no. So so they're

(12:26):
doing a knock and talk and theygo to this one door and there's like
fifteen kids in this room and oneof the kids somebody knocks on the door
and they open the door and there'stwo police officers in uniform standing there at
the door, and the scuffle commencedto. Everybody's just like cockroaches going everywhere.
And somebody runs to the back roomand they hear the window open and
blah blah blah. And you know, nobody knows nothing but the warm smell

(12:50):
of a marriagauana's emanating from the roomand so forth and so on, and
uh, the employee called me,and so the officers called me and said,
hey, I think this guy mighthave thrown something out the window.
And uh, I said, okay, whose room is it? They gave
me the kid's name, and Igo, all right, I'm gonna drive
up to the which side of thebuilding you're on? And I drive up
there and there's a giant cedar treeon the south side of the building,

(13:13):
did huge tall cedar tree, andthey shine the light out the window,
so I know where it came from. And I'm looking up there at the
window and looking on the ground underneath, and I'm not finding anything. And
directly I look around and I seeone little, one little small diying bag
of marijuana on the ground, andI'm like, I know this kid did
not go to the trouble of throwinga dim bag out the window. So
I'm shining my light and I'm lookingup there and we're up in the top

(13:37):
of that cedar tree. There's apair of pants and I said, what
size were the Oh know, there'sa pair of pants. It's like khaki
shorts. So being the train,my train police mind goes, that's a
clue, because those probably would havefallen out if that wasn't recent and so
forth. They were just kind ofbarely dangling on, you know, they

(13:58):
had and they weren't like been therealong. So I climb the tree.
I did. I did, infact, climb the tree over a din
bag. No, I climbed thebag. I climbed the tree over about
a pound and a half of marijuana, cut up into dim bags, wrapped
up in a pair of pants,and we got the Hey, I got
a pair of pants down here?Who's missing a pair? Who's missing a

(14:20):
pair of pants? And they're like, everybody's got pants? And I was
like, all right, well,I'm gonna collect all this up and I'll
be up there in a minute.So I'm walking up the walking up the
stairs, and I'm walking up thestairs. I've pat around in the pants
and guess what, I find awallet with an identification with a driver's license.
And uh so somebody stole the wallet. So when I get up there,

(14:43):
when I get up there, whenI get up there, I'm like,
who's pants are these? And nobodyclaims them? And then I reach
in the pocket and pull out thewallet and go, who is you know?
Bob Smith? And I go,here me this your room. I
said, Bob should have had enoughsense to go, thank you so much

(15:03):
for finding that waller, for thatthing been stolen for weeks and I've been
looking for it. He was.He was not that intelligent because post Miranda,
I got the whole weed boom.Sorry, he was high as a
kite too, probably, I'm sorry. Do you have any readers? Yeah,
it's you know, it's like thoseguys on the slopes out there,
they're stone and you know, yougo by and guy's like, man,

(15:26):
I am flying down the slope.I'm like, you didn't even got your
skis on them. The dumbing downof society. All they're doing is taking
this stuff. This's illegal and they'remaking it legal everywhere. So now you
just look at him and shake yourhead, and you can't say so,

(15:46):
I'm gonna I'm gonna call I can't. I mean. I watched a drug
deal in a Wendy's in town notlong ago, and it was a guy
who had a medical marijuana card walkedin and handed and swapped some for gave
some weed that he got at thedispensary to a guy that was sitting there,
and and you know, I goton a buck. They smelled of

(16:06):
weed, my kids sitting there eating, and I got on his butt.
I guess it's not happened with medicalmarijuana, Charlie. Now they don't do
that. And he goes and theother guy that he gave it to goes,
he has a marijuana card, andI said, you don't, I
said, and I just watched adrug deal. And he goes, oh,
I'm sorry, man, we'll leave, you know. And you know,
it's it's pretty blatant out there though, and it's only going to get

(16:30):
worse because it's you know, andI'm not opposed to the medical marijuana things
like just this, the fact thatI mean it does have therapeutic effects for
people, you know, And thenand say, look, I stubbed my
toe. I need a weed cardand they'll give you one. Well,
I'm not saying that it's as restrictedas it probably should be, because it
should be more restricted, but it'sit's kind of like you know, anything

(16:52):
else, if you it's every ifyou go downtown, you know, downtown
Tallahassee. Right, Yeah, youwere just sounds like we down there now,
like smells like we need there.You and I were leaving a courthouse,
courthouse and it smelled like weed onthe back back walkway of the court
Leon County. That marketing he justplayed out in the possession I'm here.

(17:15):
You know what the you know whatthe fine is for felony possession of weed,
four hundred and twenty dollars. Idon't know who did that. They
only do the cases in the afternoons. I'm sure the last case of the
day. You see them. Youknow they're the defendants or in that parking

(17:36):
garage across this big way, andthey know why that they're going to go
to jail and they're taking one lasttope before the head in. I guess
I just want to go set upa snack stand with just one of those
just one of those coin operated machinesthat take dollar bills and credit cards.
It's got potato chips and snacks inand put it in near all the marijuana
disvestories, just yelling, just youknow, lead court house. Yeah,

(18:02):
what is it? I like?I like onions? Does that make us
weird thread that we like onions?My wife thinks it's weird, but I
mean onion onion flavored air. It'sgood. I mean we'll probably have some
Christmas dinner. I mean I foundthat. Why I found that, Why

(18:26):
you like stole the elite? Whyif I read an article, you actually
looked it up. Yeah, No, I didn't look it up. It
just one of them happened to puntit. They're talking about the quality and
the differences of I'm not a vodkaguy, so I don't know. Uh,
it's good. It's one hundred percentwheat and that's what makes your gray
gooses and you're really your your higherend vodka's different from your your lower end

(18:48):
vod because none of it actually apparentlyis made with potatoes. Because when we
was a kid, we always callit, that's that potato whiskey. It's
it's weird, it's just and it'sa number of times that it's distiched I
clean, and that's there used tobe one on they called precise, and
I hadn't been able to find thatfor years. But those of your higher
end vikus that's had multiple filter runsand so forth and so on. It's

(19:11):
kind of like mine and Charlie's whiskey. They run through charcoal, A bunch
of the same thing I filtered throughmy teeth one triple filtered. Yeah,
I like me a good viker man. Matter of fact, I'm starting to
crave some now. Well, Iwas gonna say I could help you.

(19:32):
I went to an event last nightthat was pretty cool. How much time
we got in this segment about fourminutes. Okay, we got time to
tell the story. So I gotinvited. Sam Hard there was a lobbyist,
an attorney that goes hunting with usin South Dakota. He was there
year before last. You remember saying, and so uh, Sam's been part
of far Catam's Association all this stufffor a long, long, long long
time. When when my uncle Herman, who's been around forever, says Sam's

(19:56):
been around forever, then you knowhe's been around for a long he's been
around for a minute. He calledme up, but they said, hey,
you want to go to the cattlemAssociation dinner. That's never in North
Florida. It's always wherever you knowit is. But it was in Marianna
at the bar R Ranch, whichis an event place over there. They
got a little rodeo center and theygot a big venue people get married at
now, and so I sure I'llgo. And so I get there and

(20:18):
the Commissioner of Agriculture is there,Wilton Simpson. Got to talk to him
and his chief of staff, andhe may even come on to show to
talk about some stuff in the comingperiod of time, as long as we
can stay somewhat respectable. There's afifty fifty Yeah, that's the time I'll
be here that day. So I'mstanding there, and you know, there's

(20:45):
a big double doorway and this whereyou go into the dining room and all.
That's really nice place, and I'mjust kind of staying out of the
way talking to the few. There'sa bunch of people I knew I went
there. I didn't think I knowanybody ended up my cousin at the court
and this and that, and thenthe sheriff showed up, and so I
had to stay sober and act right. And so I'm standing there holding a

(21:08):
sweet tea in my hand, andall of a sudden, somebody invited,
Okay, we're gonna have everybody gatherup right here. And I ended up
being right there, like three feetfrom where everybody was talking, which is
not where I wanted to be,but then I want to be rude and
walk away. Some id's kind ofhanging out there. And so the commissioner
talks about some stuff and does histhing, and a guy comes out who

(21:29):
has been preparing the food with oneof the farms. The caterers. We've
uh, we've cooked and got everything, and the wives had done the dessert
and everything's got in a lot ofthis kind of stuff and you know,
and we're thank you. I hadto clapping hands and all this stuff.
And so he says, uh,and we could this brisket two weeks ago
with the such and such event andit was really good. So we're gonna

(21:49):
have the same brisket tonight. Sowe calld brisket and everybody in the room
got really quiet. Everybody got everybodygot real quiet, and there was this
stillness across the room and it wasunsettling. It was a little awkward,
and and you saw some people rolltheir eyes. Their eyes were turning there

(22:10):
thinking I'm meeting left overs and didthey freeze it? Did they did?
They? And it got an unusuallylong time. And then a guy that
was cooking with of me, ohno, no, this is new brisket.
This is new and then this collectivesigh went across the crowd and everybody's

(22:30):
it was going to be real awkwardup there when people were getting their plates
and the briskets sitting there and going, why they might eat brisky? Show
is dry and I'm scared of thatbrisket. But we got that new Brisket's

there, and and uh, PatDerdon, Yeah, and it was a

(24:06):
cool night. I always like goingto those kinds of things. And I'm
the I'm the least. I probablyfit in the least there because I don't
raise cows, and everybody else was. He got all these ranchers and stuff
all over the place. There wasa gentleman who's going to be president in
a couple of years. I gottalking to him because Sam was introducing me
to all these people. I don'tknow why they thought he was introducing me
to them, because I'm nobody,but you know, they were coming over

(24:26):
there. You know, Sam's supernice guy, and I want to make
me feel a home. But Igot to talking to the gentleman who's going
to be president in a couple ofyears, and he's from central Florida somewhere,
and we got to talking and uh, talking about deer c W D
and what's going on in North Florida, you know, and hopefully it won't
get down there to them, hopefullywe've stopped it up here. But he

(24:49):
started talking about, you, youknow, what was that there's a there's
a is that the same thing asthe stuff that the midges spread? And
I went, I'm not sure whatthe that is and he pulled it up
and it's some long, long wordand had it well and it had it
had a hemorrhagic something something and theleather. And then so I came in
here a little while ago. Yousaid, midgets, these midges. Is

(25:15):
there's a bug and Jay says it'sblue tongue, and I said, I
he googled it, and last nightwe read about it and I didn't see
anything about blue tongue, and JDgoogled it and it comes up and that's
what is spread by midges. Soif you see midgets, if you see
midges running around in the woods,don't let them bat You don't let them
bite you because well you fly fishwith midge. Yeah, well if you,

(25:37):
if you know one well enough totake him fishing with you, you
would midget tossing midges. Well,these midges are too small to sea.
I think they got wings and flyaround. There'd be more like fairies.
But they call them midges. Wenton their They tend to blue tongue,
tends to tends to be bad inyears where they have dry summers and the

(26:00):
water holes, the water holes theplaces where the deer drinking get down to
the small pool and it concentrates themidges that live in the water. It's
the same thing you're fishing with.They're talking about fishing with, just a
different variety of them. It's artificialmidges. Yeah, yeah, I understand,
it's not their. Fred. Yes, I'm gonna give you the give

(26:23):
you the hand of the hand ofstop there, Fred. We have probably
offended little people all over the place, But well they are what are you
supposed to I don't know what isthe little people? When I was a
kid got them. You know,we caught a lot of things, a
lot of things back then. Youcan't can't any but anyway, so when

(26:47):
the watering pools get smaller, itconcentrates the midges and they bite the deer
and transmit this. Uh. Ican't pronounce the what it's called the yes,
the common vernacular is calledlue tongue,and it can't say those big words.
Can you can? Can a personget blue tone? It's a it's

(27:07):
only ruminant ruminants, ruminants. There'sa rumor, there's a rumor about somebody
getting that one. I think Ithink cattle. I think cattle can get
it. Certain and non African based, non African species ruminants. Deer don't
don't stop. Apparently the antelope can'tget it like you have in some states

(27:27):
you have the high fence stuff thatyou have African game living in the high
fenses. There's a girl I didin college had a blue tongue, and
I'm wondering it's not her Fred andshe probably wasn't Midge. You drank an
icy slushy or as murf. Anyway, that's the bell of shame there on

(27:53):
you. Sorry, Yeah, it'sit's it's a if you read deer,
you know you read I read deerhunting things and hunting things and everything.

infectious, contagious disease. We don'thave and we don't have it here that

radio listening audience, Well, youmissed it, but you can stream it
on on on iHeart on any ofour streaming app platforms. You can also
watch it on YouTube and pick itup on Rumble if that's your preferred flavor.
However, you will not get thevideo because Charlie was too stupid to

(30:29):
push the button right here on hisphone. You got a recording now,
it's recording now because I see yougoing thirty three, thirty four or thirty
now. But uh, you aresupposed to help me check all this stuff.
He was showing that thing out inSouth Dakota in the in the the
paddy wagon the phone, Well youhad careful you had the show on the
screen that the challe paddy wagons.I was not showing my thing in the

(30:55):
paddy wag thank you very much.The connotations there too. So we were
in the van. We were inthe limbo van. I knew where a
friend was going. I knew whereyou were there and on the TV I
was streaming our YouTube channel on thescreen in the van. Yeah, thank
you. That's just that's what Iwas. That's a better way. The

(31:17):
first time I saw the show onYouTube, I hadn't seen it before on
us, and I asked you ifyou'd seen it, because I had done
stuff on her to make fun ofyou and you hadn't seen it. It
didn't take all that happens every day. So well, Fred, you are
an easy target and to make funof. I mean, we enjoy it.
You take it well, you thinksaw jacket like anybody that thats Whar's

(31:40):
costumes to court and then goes inpublic with a jacket like that is asking
for ridicules, said the humor toapply it to him. Look at the
start a fight I got with theMidge. With the Midge that almost happened
at the airport. There were twoof them in the in the concourse train.
They were getting frisky with one anotherand get a little too close to

(32:04):
me and the good Lord there's thisbig dude behind me, kept pushing me
into him, and that that Iwas traumatized, triggered. Well, just
leave alone, Charlie. Ghosts waydownhill from here. I've heard the story.

(32:25):
It goes way down. Let's justlet's just stop right there, because
he's talking about completely something different otherthan blue tongue. How about that blue
tongue that's watching that? I meananyway, Chris, just glad we're talking
about somebody shorter than him. That'sall gues. That's all I'm saying is

(32:45):
he's what are you doing over there? I don't know what the ghost,
the ghost of the ghost of Talent, the ghost of Talent Tactical Outfitters knocked
his bag off of his Oh yeah, we got a new picture on the
wall. That's a I wanna putit on the video. An unidentified individual

(33:08):
peeing on the fence post of thepower pole that says no trespassing. That's
a that's a professional gentleman with aprofessional career. We won't say we want
it. And we were just gettingready to go walk through that grass that's
right there behind us, right behindthat no trespassing sign. I had to
get that one framed. I justI had to get it. So that
brings up a point and I didn'twant to talk about something seriously on the

(33:30):
show today was all right. SoI was at this event last night.
I got it. Looking round,I got to thinking, I carry a
gun everywhere I go. You carrya gun everywhere you go, bread,
you carry a gun a lot.Certain places can't there certain places you can't.
And I got to thinking looking around, and I'm in a room full

(33:52):
of conservative agricultural ranchers, farmers,people who are I would say every adult
in that room owns a gun,okay, without doubt, every adult women,
then everybody in that room owns agun. I'm pretty good at picking

(34:12):
out whether somebody's got a gun onthem because this is what we did for
a living. And I don't think. I don't think. I saw signs
of too many people that would beeither they were carrying very well, very
well, or not at all,not at all. And a lot of
people, based on what we werewearing, I can tell they weren't wearing
anything. They might have had agun in their pocket, small gun in
their pocket or something. And itgot me to thinking and ruminating on the

(34:37):
how many yeah, how many howin our lives when we travel about in
our days, all the people thatthat could carry would carry own guns.
Believe in the Second Amendment, arereally carrying a gun? How many people
out there are carrying actually carry ona daily was now in our little world,
it's percentage pretty high because we surroundourselves with people that shoot constantly.

(35:00):
We run gun ranges, and wetrain in other people's professions, like these
two gentlemen and three gentlemen. Yeah, well I know that. Yeah,
so now I can tell you thatin the defense lawyer world, uh,
most defense lawyers at least in thisarea have guns in their office. Then

(35:23):
you can't go in the courtroom withthem. But you can't know, but
you if you get some people comingin, though you're dealing with bad people
most of the time. Sometimes sometimesthey're just wrongly accused. What about people?
There's just people you know in thecommunity, People I know in the
community the most. If I wasto go to a typical party that I
might go to the holiday party,I'll probably be the only one in the

(35:45):
room with gun. Yeah, itvaries depends on the environment. Usually it's
pretty high. But then say,like you know, it would depend on
the environment. Probably I don't know, Paul, I forget you to have,
but yeah, I'm just gonna commandeerit from Fred. It's probably a

(36:07):
good I had several bring personal farmswith them on the boat. Not a
bunch compared to how many people I'vetook. I've taken. But all my
friends have guns. Do they carrythem? But do they carry them everywhere
they go? If you call carryingthem in your truck, they carry them
there there there in last My concernis you got all these people that they

(36:30):
have guns in their truck. That'sthe thing. Like like, like Fred
said, a lot of defense attorneyshave them in their office. They might
put them in their vehicle. Okay, But as far as going to the
grocery store, going to the theater, going to them all going going into
public and carrying a gun where somethingis likely to happen, because that's where
the shooting is going to occur.Is going to be in a store.

(36:52):
They're going in to pick up asix pack of beer and somebody robs the
store and shoots everybody in there.I mean, if you look at what's
going on that you know, atthe bus stop, walking down the street,
there's there's so many things that goon in the world today and people
say they're prepared. You know,I have the I'm a gun owner.
I have a gun. But butbut what you're going to do when you
I make I commonly make the commentthat if I go to the mailbox from

(37:21):
my house to the mailbox in back, which ain't all that long of a
walk, you know, fifty yards, maybe I have a gun with me.
I carrytake the trash right, Andpeople kind of give me a look
sometimes like yeah, whatever, I'mdead serious. If I walk out of
my house to go to the mailboxor to mow the grass or to whatever,
I have a gun on me.I don't go out of my house

(37:42):
as a general rule without being armed. And people kind of look at me
funny, like, what are youscared of? And it's and it's not
that I'm scared of anything. Butwithin the last I won't say. It's
probably the seeds days, ten days, eleven days, twelve days ago you
look this up, there was agun store owner. I'm not a cop
anymore, but I've put a lotof people in jail in one I don't

(38:04):
want them looking me up because theycan find me. But there was a
gun store owner somewhere I think inMichigan. They got kidnapped, taken to
his store by the kidnappers. Theyfollowed him home, they kidnapped him at
his home or somewhere at near hishome, kidnapped him, took him back
to the store, and stole onehundred and twenty firearms out of the store.

(38:24):
Yeah, I think did they takehim back the store. I thought
they got the code. I thinkthey took him back to the store,
went back with had him kidnapped.But the point is, I mean,
any god, he was safe athome right when he wasn't. And yeah,
we talk about situational awareness and jD and I we have a unique
position in our world. So ifyou go to a martial arts studio and

(38:47):
you see the guy with the blackbelt with all the tips on it,
the different little stripes and colors,and he's got an ANH degree whatever,
and you go to that sensey,or if you go to a kung fu
studio like Jesse here is in theback and the seafood the teacher. Well,
in the world that we live in, that's who we are, you
know, when it's not a braggor anything, but We've got all these
years of experience, we train,we teach, we do all we live

(39:10):
at that end of the spectrum.But when we walk around in the community
and we look, yes, wehave the ability to protect the people around
us, we have the ability todo it. But I see so many
people that could and would be there. And so when my family goes out,
you know, and it it concernsme that the people who are capable

(39:31):
of defending our community, people whoare capable of the I mean, look
at what happened in Israel, andthe terror of stuff is coming here,
folks. It's coming is They're comingin over the southern border on a regular
basis. And the thing is iswhen is it gonna kick off? And
you are roaming around out there inpublic, folks in Dothan, Alabama,
and Bona Fay, Florida, Marianna, Tallahassee, and you and you don't

(39:53):
have the tools that it's gonna taketo protect your family. And that concerns
me right back. Hey's Charlie JD. We use a lot of fuel from
gas for our UTVs yard equipment boatsto diesel for our tractors, and buying
good clean gas and diesel is importantto prevent downtime and repairs. For that,

(40:14):

seven seventy five point fifty and we'reback. We left. We're talking about
people carrying guns, and we'll getWe're going to talk about fishing here in
a minute, but before we dowant to finish that conversation, and Paul

(42:19):
I want to break You had aquestion, and that was something to do
with if you were in public andhad a gun and ended up something happened
and you protected the people around you. You know what happens? Is that
basically what your question? Legally,you know what are you okay? Well,
then Alabama and Florida and Georgia youhave standard ground loss, which is

(42:43):
you know, something Fred can speakto. But it's it's if you're in
public and you're an imminent fear ofdeath and great bodily harm to yourself or
someone else, you'd afraid something's goingto happen to someone nearby or you,
you know, you have the rightto stand your ground and meet deadly force
with deadly force if a reasonable personbelieves that it was necessary circumstances about the
gest of it, it's just it'sa common law. They caught it defensive

(43:05):
others and you you're entireed. Soin other words, if you see the
bad guy that's going to shoot theinnocent bystander, you have a common law
and in Florida uh By statute,you have a right to defend that other
person with deadly force. If youknow the mall shooter is aimed at the

(43:25):
That's exactly what happened. It wasabout six months ago. There was a
guy in the mall and I wantto say this is uh he was a
little more than that. But yeah, Indiana, another standard ground state guy
who had no law enforcement, nomilitary training. He just made a phenomenal,
phenomenal set of shots. He didwell, he's taking the class talent

(43:46):
range and in fact that not wedon't know the young man and uh,
you know he had of what itwas a three eighty I think, and
there was a mall shooter and hetook the guy out at about what twenty
yards more than that, more likeforty every forty six yards or something.

(44:07):
It was a phenomenal shot. Yeah, I mean guy and knew he had
trained with a pistol, He knewwhat he was doing, and he pulled
it out and neutralized the threat,as we like to say. And they
didn't charge that guy. They gavehim a chie of the city. But
it's not a It's not unheard offor people to be charged, Paul right,
And it's also not unheard of forpeople to be sued civilly down the

(44:28):
road because the family is now madthat you had a gun and we're able
to stop their family member who wasgetting ready to rob her kids, and
he's about fixed, just about tostart trying to start trying to get his
life to Yeah, I mean it'salways the case like that guy Michael Jackson
impersonator on the subway out there thatthe marine took out, which you know,

(44:50):
well so we and that question bringsto mind. You know, we
actually have an event on December fourteenth, I think the Hilton Gardens. It'll
on our Facebook page. It's notalready down the range of Dothan, this
end Othan, and it's a twohour session Right to Bear, which is
the prepaid legal plan that we havehere that we carry, and they're going

(45:13):
to be ted. They've got anattorney that's going to be coming there talking
about Alabama law for the people whoare in Georgia, I mean Alabama,
Alabama. Why won't you get talkabout the Alabama Georgia. It's going to
try to confuse people like me.So he's going to come in and spend
a couple of hours talking about thatand the benefits of right to bear and
then we have events going on outhere which is going to about it that

(45:35):
we had two days coming up wherethey're going to talk about active shooter and
then also discuss right to bear andthat coverage for a few dollars. It's
like ten eleven, twelve dollars amonth something like that that you can get
civil and criminal coverage the because noteverybody can call Fred at two o'clock.
Well, I guess they could.They could call you if you want to
answer the phone or not, butit depends on how much of that lit

(45:58):
off I've had. Ye. Butthe thing is is to have to have
access to someone who would then payfor your legal defense and criminal representator civil
and criminally to cover that for you. When you do the right thing.
That gives me peace of mind.You know, to know that I'm not
gonna I'm not subject to lose everythingI have without representation because your residents come

(46:20):
to that or is that you knowwhat I mean. Well, they're going
to be talking about, uh,they're gonna be you could come. It's
got a regularly Alabama law, butit's gonna talking about Alabama law, which
is very similar to Georgia law,which is very similar to Florida law.
The castle doctrine. I mean,you know castle doctrine and stands of ground
is correct me if I'm wrong forit. Very similar because it's based on
common law, right, Yeah,the common law handed down from Action England

(46:43):
and pretty much if somebody is breakingin your house or into your vehicle,
there's a presumption that they are doingbreaking into your vehicle if you're in if
you're in it, if you're init. Yes, thank you for reading.
You can't shoot the guy in thedriveway as much as I wanted to,
but yeah, I have to answerthat question a inordinate amount of times.
Can and I shoot somebody trying tosteal my car? Not less you're
in it, and well, canI go jump in it real fast and

(47:06):
then shooting? I would not recommendthat. That is called creating your own
exigency. No. No, youshoot the guy and then you drag him
in your house, that's called contaminatinga crime scene, Fred, and that's
strongly discouraged. Also, watch afew episodes of The Extra so you can
get away with not a midway.We do. We do have some events
coming here. We posted one thisweek on the fifth and at the seventy

(47:30):
five people and it filled up inabout twenty minutes. We posted another one
on the sixth, then it filledup in about thirty minutes. And so
we're going to start doing the monthlyhere. Now it's more of an active
shooter presentation, but it will includesome discussion of the laws and stuff,
but it talks about, yeah,if you're in if you happen to get
caught up in a in the middleof an active shooter situation, well it's

(47:52):
going to answer it. Good forI don't see much of that on the
lake, but I do go totown and I do. We don't have
an eat up people need to getout of. You do know that your
that your boat is a conveyance,right, it is a conveyance. And
and if someone tried to get intoyour boat or take your boat again right

(48:13):
the Cat County, Yeah, we'vegot an active shooter situation. There's a
shell cracker bed up on the flatriver and uh, and there's a skeeter.
There's a fella and a skeeter andhe's shooting at people as they drive
by. Everybody came by on planeand was just cranking them off. So
we're talking before we go to getmad about a shell cracker bed. Then

(48:34):
you tell that's right, not inmy line, Then you about lock down
drop. All right, so let'stalk about it. Let's talk about this.
And are they biting? They havebeen biting. I'll tell you the
the bass and the croppie been writingreally good. The uh, the croppies
just keep bunching up and bunching up. But haven't really still haven't seen the
hybrids and stroppers yet like we should. And I don't know why that is.

(48:54):
When I talked to several old timersthat coal snap, I would think
you would have thought they would have. I don't. I don't know what's
going on with that yet. Butwith the bass, bite's been good and
the croppie that every time I checkareas where they they've been, there's more
and more coming. So okay,so here's a question for you. We
see this all the time, especiallythis time of year. You have the

(49:14):
four days of cold and then it'sright back up to eighty degrees. That's
right. Is it better fishing duringthe cold or the warm going up to
the warm it gets? For thebass, it's pretty good, But I
think that when the colder it getsthe better of CROs for sure. Yeah.
I got a reply today they'd bebiting day. Yeah, they'd be
biting today. All right. Igot a report from a buddy of mine,

(49:35):
the little Thanksgiving duck hutting a littlesix day or seven day season whatever
up on the up on the lake. They killed some Dad. Not only
do they kill a bunch of ducks, they killed the good ones. Not
just not divers. They were killingmallard and pintails and really well seminole.
Not money. If I if Iowe you that, Fred, I would

(49:58):
lose a friend, probably get beatup the next time. I went back
to back to home and back toback to my giving a free d u
I or something. He don't drink. You just don't get represented. Yeah,
they killed some ring necks and stufftoo, But they were they were
passing on the ring necks because theywere limiting on the mallard, pintail and

(50:22):
teal and like seminole. Yeah,it happened, Fred. You just got
to know there there's a lot ofwater on Lake Seminole that you probably have
never seen. That's way back upin some creeks and some and some ditches,
some four foot ditches, and someplaces like that. Some slews and
play. You know that it's LakeSeminole is vast way. But beyond what

(50:43):
you what much people see me Tokill the mallard round here, I gotta
dress up like a corn cob goldsitting out there with the sprouts coming out
of the heads. Do is youpaint yourself like you know, you get
some brown paint and you paint andthen you put little gold speckles all of

(51:05):
them. Just going to lay down, Go lay down out there and be
real still. The mad years ofdrought here, that's why was so short
around what happened it was unrrigated land. Wearing my boat there. You know,
we're not in a flyway here.We're in between two flyways for duck

(51:25):
hunting. We're not in the Easternthe Eastern Flyway the Atlantic Flyway, and
we're not in the Mississippi Flyway.But we do get some spill over from
both. So we just don't getthe numbers that they get in the you
know, in the in those flywaysfor duck hunting. And I used to
man, I have I have chasedducks from Lake Okeechobe to Kansas and and

(51:47):
points north. But years ago.There used to be a flyway behind that
Hindoo temple on had Lash Parkway.Yes, sir, that you're talking about
that chain of lakes back in there. Uh uh, I can't call name
over right now, but yeah,I've honey back in there. Yeah.
They caught me hunting back in there, and the Hindus did. Oh they're
not happy about it. They weren'thappy it chained up the temple. I

(52:07):
couldn't get in there anymore. Wasthat why that chain went across the house.
That's why you were parking in there, walking into working in and into
the temple. For everything out therewas killing me. What is the name
of that lake that the split Lafayette? Lafayette? Yep. Yeah. I
came walking out of there with abunch of dead ducks and gun parking on

(52:28):
the park in there parking lot andHindus taking a look at me and like,
oh, I bet they got sideway. Oh yeah. Not only that,
this is my truck was broken atthe time. My wife was driving
