She was still. I mean Ihad bad thoughts. Well, that doesn't

(00:49):
take much for you, now,I understand in real life she was a
lot sweeter than the actress that playedGinger as well. Yes, that's what

clothes would have rotted. I mean, well, in my version of Gilligan's
Island they are. But you gotto go to the back of the store
in a special room to get thatmovie. I'm pretty sure that says adults

(01:57):
only before you walk in. Yeah, yeah, you know, that's kind
of like the that's kind of likethis. I realized the other night that
the TV show Survivor is still ontelevision, like in season number twenty seven
or whatever. You know, Survivoris still going, still going, and
they're spin offs on some of theless networks. That was one of the

(02:19):

(02:40):
alonge naked and naked and afraid.Yeah, so they got these two naked
people that just show up on thebeach and meet one another. Hey,
hey doing Hey Now, I kindof like watching like bear grills and some
of that every now and then.You know that had more of a hey,
I'm gonna throw all out here onthe show alone is the one where
they put them out in the middleof the wilderness by themselves with the camera.

(03:00):
Ain't terrible, pretty intelligent. Buthere's the thing about here's the thing
about Survivor. Now, if youlet's let's break this down. You put
me on the island with thirty otherpeople whatever, having many peoples on the
show, and you say, allright, here's the deal, we gonna
come back pick y' all up aboutfour months, three months, and whoever's

(03:22):
left get some million dollars. That'sway out of it. I'm gonna be
laid up on the beach picking myteeth with somebody's rib bone, going gained
forty seven pounds, then go wherecome money? The first thing I want
to know is whose jurisdiction are wein. You'll be extra died from here.

(03:42):
You might bring me my money,leave me here, you get back.
I say, they all went tothe training station. Show what happened?
What happened to everybody else? Oh, I don't know. Sharks got,
anybody got some fantastic anybody got theToms gain forty You're the only person
on Survivor ever gained for seven downs. Yeah, I don't know that i'd

(04:04):
want to eat it, but ifI was hungry enough, I'm just saying
I might. I can't watch that. You get in there and it's like,
now I tuned in and this wason your behalf. I did this
because I want to get caught upkind of where you are. And I
got on the Oak Island deal.Yeah, and I started watching some of
those and I don't know where itis because I know it's the later episodes

(04:27):
because now they're finding beads and yeah, that's pretty recent, you know,
and all that, and I'm going, man, they must have dug the
big o a hole and that they'relike putting. They're going down forty t's
with stuff and equipment and they're goingto build a bridge over there to the
island. I don't know where tohave, you know, it's gotten crazy
and finding coins and stuff and whydid it take them so many years to

(04:48):
find this stuff? Well, they'vebeen trying to find it for a long
time if you go back. Andso the reason I like that show not
not necessarily because I so when Iwas kid the same way that the two
brothers, the McGinnis brothers that aredoing that are Marty and whatever his name
is, the two brothers that arerunning that operation. Fell in love with

(05:12):
the story because when we were kid, they're about our age. When we
were kids, Readers Digest did astory and Readers Digest about the Oak Island
Treasure. It was in Reader's Digest. I read that same Reader's Digest article
in the doctor's office when I wasa kid and have been interested and knew
all about this whole thing when Iwas a kid. So when the show

(05:33):
came on, I was like Oh, these guys are really there's been they've
been digging up there for over forlike one hundred and fifty dollars, and
I don't have any words for that. I mean, when you're a kid,
you're already filling your brain with uselessfacts. I can't help it.
Fred, That's just that's how I'mbuilt. I'm sorry, that's just it's

(05:55):
probably Remember the stuff that's floating aroundhis head is crazy. I mean,
he makes Cliff Clay even look likea lightweight. So anyway, but I
can't stand those shows where you itbuilds up and builds up and it's like,
Okay, I a tune in nextweek because they they didn't do anything,
and it's and it's like, there's, uh, what on earth is

(06:15):
that kind of deal where they flewin from a satellite and they go and
they and they and they look downand they go this, uh, this
this odd shaped structure in the middleof the Pacific unknown as we're looking at
this trash pile, and it couldbe and it could it be so and
so when they give all this stuffin and that this scientist says so,
and they debunked that which it shouldhave easily been debunked in the first thirty

(06:35):
seconds. Well, we know it'snot this, this or this, it's
a bunch of plastic bottles flow.Yeah, And they just keep going and
going and going and so done themarine bottle. It just says that it
can't be planked and reflecting the sunrays, and it can't be that.
Could it be starlink satellites reflat?I don't know. And it's this,
that and the other. And atthe end of the show you find out,
you know that the Chinese like dugup some dirt and made a new

(06:56):
island or something. It's like,oh, this is what it is.
And they start talking about could thisbe the apocalypse? Could this be alien
residue from a previous thing? Youknow, just on and on and I'm
going and I'm sitting there with remotemy hand, and I can't turn the
channel because I got to figure outwhat it really is. They shut you
in. So I'll pause to TVand I'll go do something. So I
come back and I'll fast forward tothe end. So with my mind back

(07:19):
to back to Oak Island. Inmy mind, there is no question,
all right, never mind, Iwant to fast forward to find out where
the treasure is Yeah, we alldo. We've been waiting for twelve seasons,
and my life's like, oh,look, they found some more wood.
Oh, let me guess they foundsome wood. This looks like some
barrel stams. Yeah, and thishas multiple This is this show. Come

(07:42):
on. It's on the History Channelon Tuesday nights. The new episode.
They started about seven and catch youup for like three episodes, and then
the new episode I think comes onat nine at nice all right, said
nine o'clock, that's Tuesday. Ifyou get a phone call, if somebody's
breathing into the phone, you that'snot me blocking numbers, snoring from boredom,

(08:07):
you know. But now it's oneof those things that I just want
to know. I want to knowthey found too much. They have found
in all honesty, they have foundtoo much stuff on there for there not
to be some level of something thathad gone on. Finding too much stuff,
Revolutionary war trash piles, what happened. There's a bunch of people camped
out there for a couple of weeks, but it's pre revolutionary war. It

(08:28):
is truly. The stuff they're findingthere ain't supposed to be there at the
date, at the time that's thereand back then, why why are they
going so deep in the ground?Was that from previous exploration stuff? A
lot of it is previous digs theydug. There's been like seven six seven
eight people die. Yeah, Imean how much they think those treasures were.

(08:48):
That's why they call it the curse. I don't know. There's speculator
once again part of the show.They speculate that it could be stuff looted
by the crusaders from the Israel,the Jerusalem. They think it could be
that. They think it could bepirate treasure. They think it could be
uh, the Crusaders or not theCrusaders, the Knight's templar, you know,

(09:09):
bringing stuff in and hiding it.You be careful illumin going off.
They gonna wonder what happened. Youdon't mess with up still still don't mess
with them. We didn't mean tobring you up in the show here.

don't get burned out on it.But uh, that's good. We're teaching

(14:45):
a class to the nine out here. We got into these these right to
bear uh the legal insurance plan thatwe that we uh try to expose people
to out here. We don't pushit, but we try to expose you
to it as the opportunity for youto have prepaid criminal and civil legal defense
at your fingertips. And we dothis active shooter course and it's on our

(15:09):
it's pushed out to remember database andput on Facebook monthly. And we had
a class the other night. Acouple of questions came up. We were
talking about Sandy Ground a castle doctrine, and the question came up Fred that
when we said you cannot you can'tan occupied conveyance, you can usteadily force

(15:31):
to protect yourself somebody try is attemptingor has or has or is attempting to
enter residence, dwelling or occupied conveyance. That means you or somebody else is
in it and they're trying to getin without your consent. And the question
came up, and that's pretty clearyou're in your car somebody's trying to get
in, or if your child isin the car and they're trying to get

(15:52):
in the car and steal the car, both under stand your ground, which
says if it's forcible felony, whichwill be carjacking, kidnapping. In that
case, the burglary of a dwellingperson assaulted. YEA. So they said,
well, what if my dog isin the car? I'll let you
answered. I know the answer,but I'll let you answer it. Well,
the dog is a piece of property. We don't like to think of

(16:15):
it like that property. Dog.Yeah, a dog is property. It's
chattle like like anything else, likean inanimate object. It's it's property.
Now, of course I don't thinkmy dog is property, and I would
probably use my skills as a legaladvocate to get me off of the off

(16:37):
of the charge if with my dog. Uh, but it's not illegal to
shoot. Stand your ground doesn't applyto dogs unless you're standing your ground from
the dog. Well, the furtherquestion came up was what if it's like
a what do they call it?Service animal? Yeah, no, service
animals still chattel. That that doesn'tmake him special. All that means is

(16:59):
that you get to bring him onan airplane or take him in the courthouse
and argue with the velos, whichwe have guy that does that every day.
Still Still not still not a person. Still not a person. Service
animal is not a person self selfdefense defense of others. Those are people
we're talking about, not dogs,parents, snakes, iguanas. Although Elvis

(17:21):
is lately he's been getting kind ofactive. My secretary likes to she listens
to Christian music, which is nothingwrong with that. I'm glad she does.
Works for you. She probably gota little salvation in there. She's
likes on the far end of thebuilding, I'm serving the demon. I
might as well, but she's getright with the Lord. So Elvis sits

(17:44):
in her office that she and he'she's the iguana, and he's he started
digging. I mean, you canseem swinging defense attorneys and and and reptiles.
Reptiles, that's sort of a Iwas wearing my alligator skin boots in
there the other day and Elvis wasgiving me the eagle eye. So so

(18:06):
we got we may have a problemfor what Because I'm I'm planning on doing
at some point in time this year, I'm going to do an iguana hunt
down South Florida. You know,don't take Elvis with you. I well,
I'm I'm I'm wasn't planning on takingthe old What I was planning on
doing was also taking a fish frardown there because I'm gonna find out everybody
says it's delicious and chicken up thetrees. Just planning on doing that.

(18:30):
So if that thing tastes really good, if they were gonna eat them things
and they really good. I brokeinto the office and go, I got
the hat because of Chris, becauseyou're gonna have to change that burger alarm
cloak. They just don't feel badeating a pet. I mean, it's
like I get it, but it'slike a cat. I mean, I

(18:52):
do go to the Chinese brefet butyoung that they just outlawed the Korea just
outlawed you can't eat can't eat dogsno more good. They just outlawed that.
That was on the that was whowould want to eat you gotta be
a South Korea. Yeah, theyNorth Korea. They're starving. They just

(19:17):
passed the law in South Korea.We have a really good Korean friend that
comes in the store all the time. And he said, hey, friend,
yeah, he's he was born inKorea. Yeah. Was he upset
about it or was he No?No, he was just saying because we
have fun with him all the time. And every time he comes in,
I say, run Dixie, He'llbring Dixie treats and I got you know,

(19:45):
we have a good time with it. When he brings food in John,
like the chicken wings with bones inthem. Yeah, there, that's
my parents. Anyway, he said. He came in other day he goes,
hey, just want to let youknow they passed a law in South
Korea. There's no longer they can'teat dogs anymore. And I'm like,

(20:06):
okay, Jason, I didn't reallyOkay you serious? Huh? No,
No he was. He was.He was getting me back, he said.
He was basically said, come upwith something that's like and I promptly
told him, I said, that'sall right, Jason, I'll figure out
some other way to mess with you. But uh, he may be Korean,
he's as American as me. Sure, No, it's although he could.

(20:30):
He could, he could go overthere undercover with nobody. Well,
I tell him there. There wascase not too long on. If you
saw this, it was on thenews where I guess some woman had a
pikachu or one of those malty Maybeit's a peaka peaka poo something with a
pool on the end of it.Most of them have pool on end,

(20:53):
though I have ever seen had pooh, yeah, one of them. Think
of these poodle mixed pickapool on lapdog, you know, yeah, yeah,
like you know, large women withblankets usually have them. And so
she got our car and a carjackedor car with her dog in it,

(21:14):
and she jumped up on the jumpedup on a hood. That was a
French poodle, sir, or notFrench bulldog. Okay, that's that's right.
That was a French bulldog, alittle bitty thing, little bitty dogs.
Yeah, that's a dog with apool. That's a pick poo.
Okay, that's what I thought itwas. But that particular case that you're
talking about, I saw it wasa it was a French bulldog, because
those are like the most stolen,really expensive. I guess so. And

(21:37):
I'm thinking to myself as I'm watchingit. You know, I wouldn't jump
on the hood of a car tryto save my dog, but I'm generally
packing. And if I could hitthat tire, yeah, we I think
I might. I think I thinkyou'd be justified. Worry about the consequences
later. I think, you know, I'm not advocating that you do that,

(22:00):
but I could defend that case.Yeah, and most people, the
jury would most certainly be sympathetic.Yeah. And when you look at jury's
is you don't go to trial onan animal cruelty case if you're representing a
defendant. Yeah, yeah, exactly, you already got one leg in the
grave. And that's just like thefolks and the students in the class the
other night. They really wanted toargue that this is no I mean that

(22:22):
I want, yeah, I wantyou to tell me it's okay to shoot
the bad guy that's stealing my carwith my dog's in there. I want
you to tell me it's okay.It's not by the letter of the law
ever, Okay, to do that, but I can spend a set of
circumstances, but not on not onplace value. We'll be back in this
time. Is your back killing youfrom sitting in an uncomfortable desk all day?

(22:48):
Do you have pain radiating down yourleg or down the arm? Called
doctor Joseph Miller, d C atthe Tallahassee Spine Center and ask about spinal
decompression therapy at eight five zero fiveeight zero five two. Are you tired
of that chainsaw that never starts whenyou need it? Do you spend your
whole weekend fighting your old lawnmower?It doesn't have to be that way.

Visit the website. Southside Moore dotcom, Am, we're back.

(23:33):
So you know we were talking about, uh, were we talking about shooting
tires out in Minutigo? Yeah,okay. I zoned out because I was
looking at the name of dogs namedPooh and I googled it and I said,
people also searched for Cockapoo, multipool, pompa poo, poogle, Cavapoo,
Yorkie Pooh, and dog my kids, you not the last one his

(24:00):
dog. I got something on myshoe the other day. Anyway, So
we're talking about we're talking about shootinga tire out or something. Here's my
argument on that. If you're stealingmy truck and my dogs are in it,
okay, or you just steal,just stealing my truck and I shoot
the tire out. Now, Fred, if you shoot at somebody and you're

(24:22):
not justified in shooting at somebody,what's that crime? We have a brother,
We're we're fixing to have a Bubbashot the jukebox moments on the radio
show go for so you are that'sa saw, so it's a salt,
but you were shooting at them.I shoot the rear top. I know
how to shoot. I shot mytire with a precision shot designed to disable

(24:47):
my tire that I own on mytruck my property. Say that to the
cop and you just sit up thereand keep your mouth shut. I'll spend
that the words to the shoot himwreck lets discharge of a gun is what
the officers were claiming. That's whatthey were claiming. But the bubble hollered
out. I hit just where Iwas aiming. That's the sense right there,

(25:11):
and it's in the country scene andplay it for the jury. Yeah.
I get Billy Dean sing it behindMeta. Need you in court tomorrow,
bring your guitar. So Fred comesto court and he's making his closing
arguments. He goes, well,I'm gonna do this with the song and
he breaks up, breaks out thatguitar. You can't sing that stuff you've

(25:33):
sung up there in the South Dakotacan horhot Somebody video that Charlie last last
night said they stole his bird dog. I could come up with some lyrics.
I will have you lyrics for thatby by next time. Yeah.

(25:55):
Okay. And you thought Johnny Rochanwas good when he wrapped about the the
acquittal and the non fitting glove.If the evidence doesn't fit, you must
have quit. I'm gonna I'm gonnacome up with a bubble shot the back
tire song. I want to dothat well. And there again it goes

(26:15):
to what jurisdiction you're in. Ifyou did that in the city limits of
tyler Asse on the main thoroughfare,it would be problematic. You did that,
and leaving my house in my yardin Jackson County with a trained bird
dog, you did that, doingyou right, They won't even call the
cops. Anyhow. I had acousin one time that some some some dudes

(26:41):
come up in the yard and uhstole his four wheeler, uh huh,
and out of his yard and loadedthe back back the pickup truck down into
the ditch on the dirt road infront of the house, and stole his
four wheeler and drove it up onthe drove it up on the truck and
book of the boody down the road, and he come running out with the
shotgun. And uh when he whenhe called nine one one, he said,

(27:02):
you can't miss the truck. It'sgot buckshot holes all in the back
of I marked it for you.That was in Holmes County and nothing happened
bad. But he got his fourwheeler back too. They probably made him,
probably made him home the county.They stole my fore wheeler? Was
that your truck, your car,your a t V? And your house?

(27:27):
Yes, all of the above.Oh my, they stole what was
a description? What it's got fourwheels with that? Don't know it that
much? Is that one with thebathroom in the bedroom on the front or
roll by itself? Or what theystole my trailer? Which one? The
one you live in? The one? Hey, I've been a large part

(27:47):
of my life in a trailer.I can't say nothing. Call it.
It's a forward pickup truck and it'sguy, it's gonna have shot buckshot all
in the back, all in thetailgate. Jeez, I bet there was
more than one in a county thathad that. Can you hear that?
Nat bit? For me? Whatwhite? Well? All right? There

was your lama is my family,So my grandma, my grandmother. Let's

(29:55):
let's tell the story why it cameup. All right? We us upon
a time, JD. And youcorrect me. You know, you probably
know as much as I do ormore. We got a call to a
loose lama Alama. Were you therea llama? I was lingering lingering lama
in the off of Bannerman Road,if I remember. Yeah, he was
up there at the by the gasstation at bull Heathley around. He'd come

(30:22):
off of mill Stone Plantation, whichis my family's property. You know he's
up there. Sammy lives close byto him, next door to that Lama
is where Sammy lived, and Alamaprobably eating his garden, wasn't he?
I got out of it, salingout of there. It wasn't me.
Sat Lama got loose and he gotup there and was terrorizing the patrons of

(30:45):
the of the gas station and theycall the cops, and uh, there
was another guy up there that knowsour family and called my brother and said,
hey, y'alls, Lama's up hereat the gas station. And the
sheriff has shown up. And uh, I won't say the deputy's name,

(31:06):
and I know him, but apparentlyhe was trying to explain to the deputy
said, look, if you won'tget that Lama, all you gotta do
is get your bucket and he'll followyou in the trailer because he thinks you
got some food. And the deputysaid, step back, sir, this
is a crime scene. And myfriend was like, sir, Olama can't
commit a crime. And uh endedup tasing the lama. Oh after after,

(31:30):
they attempted to wrestle the lama,wrestle it and tried to get a
rope on it and pull it ontothe trailer. And I don't know who
said that, but I do knowthat one of our sponsors brothers was uh
it was and I won't say TonyDreswick's name on the air was involved in

(31:52):
trying to catch that lama. Andthey had tried to put a rope around
that lama. You can't and theywere wrestling with the rama the lama,
and Tony said quote and he toldme I got it. I got it,
and he kept trying. He said, I got the rope. He
grabbed the rope and he was tuggingon the rope, but he wasn't having
any effect. And then he realized, JD. It was not the rope.

(32:14):
It was not the rope from dressWickie molested my family. He found
he found a handle on the lamathat there was a handle on. He
was tugging on that rope trying toget it to comply in it. I

(32:36):
am traumatized. I never knew thatpart. I don't think they did.
I don't think they put that outor CNN or did I ever get a
chance to cross examine him again,Hey, it was on Fox News,
it was on CNN. Made itmade national news. I know the lama

(32:57):
made national news. I couldn't liveit down for weeks. They didn't.
They did not release the full thefull account. I never know that.
I just can't. I just Ijust picture Tony tugging on that rope.
He ain't going now how many timesyou pull on it? That is you,

(33:17):
Lama, molester of me. Ijust I you know what, that
Lama was trying to get out everytime it could. After that, I
got a time at thirty. Idon't think I'm going to get well.
Now you know why that Lama looksat you with long yeah, every time
I thought it was a taste openthe gate man. That took a whole

(33:47):
crew to do it. But uh, I remember when he came back and
he told that story, tasty andhe told that story, and I looked
at anyone, what was that?I don't believe I'd have told that one
and we k that all these yearstook it away and here it is you
and only because we were talking aboutit and you said that was my lama.

on you too, Now I heardI never had one to every one sped
on you. So moving on,moving on for those are kansasings on the

(36:31):
ground is literally this is You're supposedto be the moral Christian guy, just
telling you the fact they do that. I saw it on discoverage. How
they will spit you have we spiton you? No, they're nasty camera.

(36:55):
This is I don't know what I'mturning red. I mean, let's
start. Let's quit talking about investicaddanimals. Now. Billy Dean got sort
last night. Oh well yeah,and I'm telling you that that guy is
so talented. He had some musiciansup there with him and uh, he

(37:20):
a funny guy, down to earthfella. Couldn't have couldn't have. And
Hugh and Cody van Landingham were thereand uh and they've written some pretty good
songs and it was pretty good.I'm walking in there were these college girls
that were scantily clad. Shall wesay, and one of them dropped something.

(37:42):
Something fell out of her dress,and I didn't know where it came
from, so naturally I picked itup, tried to hand it, tried
to hand it back to her,and she ran away, and I'm like,
what is this thing? Apparently itwas the thing that they put over
there. Yeah, it's a thingyou put over the uh cany. No,

(38:02):
it's a little piece of foam toenhance a certain way. It was
silicon. It was very warm andabout body temperature, wasn't it. Yeah?
Yeah, And I'm trying to handit out to her. Everybody laughing
at me and I don't know why, and she's running away. She's probably
the man that grabbed her. Herthing looks like a rubber chicken in my

(38:25):
hand, and uh luck we haveone of our county judges was right behind
me and sees me holding this thingtrying to add it to a girl,
and she just kind of shakes herhead. Shouldn't bat an eye, she
was kind of That's what yeah,I got. I put it on just
being a gentleman and trying to helpthe lady that dropped the whatever. That

(38:46):
That's what I was doing, right, So what did you do with it.
I ended up give it cheap.She went into the bathroom and I
gave it to this other woman andsaid, look, can you go give
it to that woman in the bathroom. I couldn't catch her. And if
you had tried, if you hadtried, especially in front of it,
judge, you probably would not besitting here right now, be with us.

(39:07):
Fred couldn't be with us today.You couldn't explained your way out of
that one, because every time yousaid something that'd got on no better.
If I've known you too long,Yeah, nobody would. That's probable.
I mean so so our apologies,said the young lady. Yeah, I
hope she had. She read thecrooked for the rest of the night.

trem in the last couple of days. And really a lot of your croppies

(43:07):
have moved where we just catching themlast time. They moved out, moved
up into shallow water. They're beddingaround the pads now. The bass are
starting to bed and that'll that'll lastthe next two or three months. It's
all about the bass and the croppie. Thinking about what Fred Like's talk about.
Yes, so that time of year, that time of year. I'm
noticing as I'm getting in the truckthis morning, there's just a little bit

(43:29):
of Yes, I've been seeing thattoo. Yeah. Don't y'all think that's
a little early. Yeah, yeah, it seems like it's a little early.

his shadow. Yeah, he gotsix what is it six weeks? No,
we got an early spring coming.That's okay, Yeah, earlier talks

(43:50):
of tawny Field did not see hisshadow. So he's staying out and we
get in early spring. No,did you listen to I Got You Babe
all day? No? No,I thought that was about the movie Groundhog
Day. I thought that was aThat was not a good That was not
Bill Murray's best effort. I'm BillMurray. The idea of being able to
go back and relive a day overand over and over again until you finally

(44:13):
get it right with the chick.I mean it took him like a year
of reliving the day over and overagain, had it done give up by
then and he's finally in. Thenhe he got her. I'll tell you
what guys. I had a triptoday with Tommy Leaders. He's been listening
to the show since I think itstarted. He brought up probably not after

(44:35):
today, just lost. He broughtup Sammy Smith, and he just flat
Florida State went on, went andplayed the pros and and he came up
today and we was went out crappiefishing, but ended up catching Sammy called
a big old bass. But hehad a friend, Gerald Penn. What's
his last name? Panel Do youknow him? Charlie mentioned, now,

(45:00):
that's it, but he's he's incharge of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes outdoor
division here in this area. AndSammy's for the State of Florida. But
man, had a great time withthem, the good folks, really good
time. It was a big bass, yeah it was. It was.
It was not caught it on acrappy chip. Yeah, it's about a
six pounder fish. Real big fella. So I asked him, I said,

(45:22):
you know, it seems like sinceyou played the running back's that bit
as big as you know, Isaid, you know, it's changed over
the last since then. But man, I tell you what, what a
great guy. Awesome. I hada good time with him. Today.
But Lake Casis morning, yeah,that was this morning. Lake Talquin,
the crop you're still out there inabout fifteen twelve to eighteen foot of water

(45:43):
in the mouths of the creeks.That water temperature on Lake Talquin stays a
little cooler than Seminole. But todaythe water temperature when I left the lake
at about eleven eleven o'clock, itwas right at fifty nine degrees. So
it's it's warming up. It's probablysixty two sixty three now, yes,
yes, sir, I mean itdown that fast. Yes, it has

(46:04):
this this week. On Tuesday,the water temperature was fifty one in the
morning. The next day was fiftythree. The next day was you know
what I mean. It's we getthese bluebirds, these blue bird no cloud
in the sky days, with thesun hitting on that water, it'll warm
it up fast. And really,really it's a cliter an ideal temperature for
a bass for on the on thewhen they start on the bed at sixty
two sixty three, sixty sixty three, that's what you want to that's when

(46:27):
you want to start moving in onthe beds. I bet their bed that
you're like, don't you know,I want to like the Yeah, yeah,
I'm sure. Yeah, I'll godown there. Looks afternoon, let's
see pray for my lama. Youstill have a lamas? No, well,
I don't know now because it's upthere at the farm, which I
don't go very much. It's mygrandmother's place, and I hadn't been up

(46:50):
there in a while. There maystill be another. They may be almo
up there. There's still a sheep. You probably still got a lama there.
I still got allama. There's jacksup there, And I'm not every
time you go to say every timeyou go trying to dig you to that.
He was waiting on that. He'ssitting back. He was sitting back
in the batter's box. I hadthe sling shot back ready to go out.

(47:12):
I've been sitting here waiting. He'shad all the weight on the back
foot, and you elbow up inthat batter's box. Just serve it up,
buddy. Yeah, that's the beautyof hanging out with guys like y'all.
I don't have to worry about sayingthe wrong thing or offending anybody or
and just I ain't just just broadsideanytime I want to. Nobody leaves butt

(47:34):
hurt. Yeah, the uh youtalk about fishing, I've been. I've
been. I've been getting some reportfrom the coast. And there the trout,
the trout, trout and red fish, the smaller ones out right in
the mouth of the creek, youknow where the river and wherever the creek
empties out into the bigger body ofwater and bigger, bigger trout. If
you've got the boat to be ableto go up some of those little flus

(47:55):
and creek find some four six footof water in the up in the creeks.
What about Bob Sykes Cut? Youheard anything coming out of there?
I have not. I have not, you know, man, I have
spent some wonderful days over there atthe Cut when I was a kid.
That back back in the day whenyou had to check in at the gate
at the plantation and if you didn'thave a four wheel drive truck, they

(48:16):
would not let you let you gobecause the dirt, the now really nice
paved Kirby drive through there was justplowed through with a bulldozer and you had
to have a four wheel drive truckto get to the cut. And it's
one of the few places you coulddrive on the sandy beach. You still
got to have that to go inthe back part of the state park,

(48:37):
right, You got to have afishing ride because this only reason to go
back there, and you got tohave four wheel drive in order to get
a pass to get back there.Yep. But yeah, or you can
just get a boat right over here. Me and me and my buddies back
in the day, would I tellpeople this, and it's so crazy because
you know, there were no justway before cell phones. And we'd play

(48:59):
a baseball game in high school atsixteen years old, sixteen, seventeen years
old high school, play a baseballgame on Friday night, loat, have
all our fishing gear and coolers andstuff in the in the back of the
truck in the back of somebody's truck. Me and a buddy mine both had
four wheel drive trucks, and we'dget done with the baseball game, get
in the truck after dark, driveto Saint George Island, or drive to

(49:23):
Indian Pass or whatever on Friday nightas kids, and spend the night on
the beach under you know, tryingto keep the no seins and the mosquitoes
from Tony off and get up andfish the next day. Of course,
there wasn't no sleep happened that nightbecause of the bugs and because of just
being boys and finding something to do, you know, and spend the night,

(49:44):
get up and fish the next day, load the coolers up, and
come back home before dark the nextday. Imagine turning your kids loose like
that in this world today. Imean, that's just no yeah, way
to contact them and you don't knowwhat's going on, the last thing you'd
say is, Mama, we're goingto you know, Mama, we going

(50:04):
to the Indian Pass. And it'slike, okay, see you, Ma'll
be careful. If something happened today, in this day and age, and
they said, well, what mychild's missing, We've lost my child,
something happened, they go, well, once the last time you saw them,
well they got the then they wentdown and they went camping and you
know whatever, and we didn't missuntil the next day. They would crucify
you, express that you were basicallya worthless parent that allowed this to happen.

(50:29):
It's all your fault, and thenthey would investigate you because they didn't
believe you. That's that's exactly whatwould happen. Yeah, Well, I
was thinking back, I was thinkingabout that. Last night. My daughter
went to a school function and ona school transportation over to Jacksonville to watch
a musical or a play or whatever. And we're sitting there, you know
what times the playover. It's supposedto be ever somewhere around ten o'clock or

(50:52):
whatever. So we're looking at pullingup her the tracker on her phone,
going well, she's still there,you know, or Okay, they just
got in the bus and they're they'reon the way there, on the way
home, and you know, Andand right before I went to sleep,
I'm looking at it and go,okay, they just they're on this side
of seventy five there there, youknow, they're they're still on night ten,
but there there, within an hourfrom home, and and all this

(51:13):
kind of stuff, and I justand it dawned on me right then that
I'd go off for the whole weekendand leave on Friday night and say,
Mama, we go into the woods. I'll see you on Sunday. And
nobody in no way to you couldn'thave called for help down there where we
were. If you had to havehelp, you just you better handle it
or you just probably won't come home. So a different world we live in,

(51:35):
bit by snake staying right. Oh, there's any number of things could
have happened bad, All right,real quick before we go March twenty night,
put on your count if you wantto shoot a round of sporting clays
at my farm and Jackson County andj D setting up of course for mar
In the ff A. You cancall the shop and get the information to
get registered. We'll see y'all nexttime.
