Speaker 1 (00:04):
And welcome to the Talent Outdoor Show. I'm Charlie, I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
J D and I'm Print, and I'm Captain Paul.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Tar and I'm Grant.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
And that was the show, ladies.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
Ye see, now we got to talk about sufficient.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
So have you noticed that people on the road, uh
tend to be less respectful in Tallahassee these days?
Speaker 5 (00:27):
And they have been noticing that too. They waved at
you a lot on one finger.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yes, I got it even worse. I'm coming to work
this morning, and you know, as usual, all the way
to work, I'm behind, and I'm trying to check emails
and I'm on.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
And I've read with you and you ain't behind and
then anyway, so go ahead, and I'm sure you share
no fault in anything that you're about to share with us.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I'll admit that I'm probably not the best driver, but
it's been a while since i've i mean at least
two months since I've crashed any and and I'm and
I'm so I'm trying to read my email and there's
there's only two cars on ox Bottom Road. There's a
car behind me and Noe and me, and so I
(01:09):
probably crossed the line a little bit as I was,
you know, headed towards stumps older. I was gonna put
it down when I got on Thompsviel Road with traffic,
and so I get to stop signing and I looked
to my left a bunch of cars coming, and the
guy behind me just lays on his horn. I mean
just lays on the horn. And I'm at this point,
I'm stopped, and I look behind, look at inverew mirror.
(01:32):
It's a it's a it's a gen z BITA male
wearing a mask in his car by himself with his
window rolls up, honking his horn at me.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Well, I was about to say that Fred did not
have the option of getting out of the car and
intimidating this person with this size, But now that you've
described the other driver, you probably would have scared him
to death.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Angry little man, down ball headed version of you.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
And you know, I just had my two cups of coffee,
so I was, I was fired up.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So what did you do?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I sat there and let about five six cars go
by for a couple of minutes and made them sit
there away.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I had a massive passive aggressive.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
That's what I was. A passive agression I love.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I don't know what's passive aggressive mint until some some
woman girl, somebody somewhere along and said, you're so passive aggressive,
and I'm like, uh, let me google that. And I
looked it up, and you know what, I kind of am?
They had picture and I don't. I don't. I didn't.
I didn't know what it meant.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You're the definition of passing.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, I heard something. I heard somebody call somebody a
narcissist one time, and I looked that up and I'm
not that. But I looked it up and the person
that they were describing and I'm like, I don't even
know that was the thing. And then I looked at
it said you know what, that's true. That's not me.
But you know I'm better than all that. So but
(02:59):
I am passive aggressive sometimes and I catch myself. And
one of my daughters said something other day and I
and I and I I had to back up and think,
and I go, okay, how is this coming? You know what?
She's right? What I said because I was frustrated. What
I said would have come across to anybody is that
(03:20):
And I need to I'm not gonna apologize because I'm
never wrong but you know, or narcissistic.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, so when when you walk by a mirror, do
you look at it every time?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh? Lord, it's hard, you know. And I also I
also read a song about it.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, when you're perfect in every way?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You know, I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I don't look at the mirror every time I walk
by the only time I look in the mirror is
if I'm trying to see if I look like an
idiot before I leave the house. So I go, okay,
am I.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Checked for buggers?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Really?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
You ever find?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I mean, I look in the mirror when I'm brushing, well,
not when I'm ushing my teeth. I'm looking down at
the sink. When do I look in the mirror when
I brushed my beard? Because I don't if you died
your beard, I was waving. Somebody asked me about that.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
You're not going to do that.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Like a month and a half ago, I put some
my wife, and I.

at you when I do so, I.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Put put something in there like three shows Again.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
When you said something about being narcissistic or not being narcissistic,
I looked over at you specifically that that point to
just make sure something else wasn't going on. And now
I noticed that.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
It got it was getting about like you yeah, I'm yeah.
And my wife was talking about, well, you know, you
know you wouldn't look so old if if your beard.

When you when you brush your hair in the mirror,
you're at eye level. When you're not seeing the top
of your head.

was it was presumed that you knew all that stuff.
I did not I did, I had forgotten and it

They started calling the kids up. Okay, our our ornamental

doing things from aquaculture to to I mean it was
(12:00):
stuff I hain't never heard of, and I mean it's
and and back when I was in the f f A,
they were like, I mean, I know it was loadus
summers and Penny Redmond by the only girls in the
whole thing. I remember because there was only two of them,
maybe three in my grade at more than half the
f f A women now are girls, you know. Uh,
(12:21):
and it and the advisors is a one. It has changed.
Miss Bebe's is doing it does a great job over there.
But I went because I think I was there was
only I think we were the only sponsor of the
event that was there other than people who were parents.
Got caught up and.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
There's a lot of the way high school stuff goes.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, that's kind of how it goes. You know, I
must I'm a sponsor because I'm a parent. Well, then
we got involved. I was the president back in the you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Know, who's the first two women that were in the
f A f A No, Marianna.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Wanda huh marijuana mary Anne and Wanda. Marianna and Wanda.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, they were both menmbers of the four H Club
and both active in the ff A. And then one
of them killed Earl.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Oh yeah, yeah, I was trying to because the earl
had to die.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Earl had to die.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So anyway, they had a silent auction and I walked
over there. You remember the shooting table that they had,
the thing that you get you one the very overbuilt
shooting table with the two millennium seats on the cadillac
of Well, the parent that won it donated it back. Yeah,
so Charles, Charles now belongs to me. It resides at
the Strickland Ranch. Yeah. And I got it, and I
(13:33):
and I mean, bless their heart. I was a high bid,
but it would have barely covered the cost of the seats.
But they had raffled money off the first time. And
then I didn't realize it was sitting there. I just said, yeah,
I want one like that.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Everybody else in the audience did not know that the
millennium boat seats for a hundred bucks a piece.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
And I got it, Like, right now, what is this thing?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It's a it's a it's a two stud It's a
right and left handed shooting table made out of treated
wood with a shelf under it. Kid that built it
got wheels and handles. You pick up one end and
you roll it around, and it's got two Millennium boat seats.
And I don't shoot left handed, but you know it's
got two seats on it. Personally, I'm thinking, my wife
(14:14):
is like, what are you gonna do with it? I said,
I'm gonna put it under the car port and deer
hunt out of it. This year, let's sit there and
there's some.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Corner in the back of my DrAk my coffee. Look
out the back.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
With that table, I can shoot out the five six.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Hundred yards easily.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh yeah, that thinks rest or something on it.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Where it's a test of shooting table, Fred, It's it's
a table with an ARMI yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
You have a piece of it that extends, so you're
kind of sitting in one corner of the table in
a seat, so you've got a place to rest the
rifle in the proper position, and you release your table platform.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
If you go down to one hundred yard range. You
got ten stations like that. It's just one of those, okay,
And I.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Got it.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, but if the table's not designed right, you can't
use that thing you put on.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So when I sit rifles in at the house, I'm
using two ice chests, a bag of corn, a five
gallon bucket to sit on. Okay, that's not the best way.
Now I got the table and my wife's like, where
are you gonna put it? And I say, thing about
all that, it'll be out there. I put it right
next to where you park. Just know you not.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
We'll see you've got a building up.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
But I can't tell you what's gonna happen to goat.
You're gonna have a heyday with it, because they get
on top of everything like that. And the other thing
I got was they had a load of millions from Anderson, Columbia.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Oh nice.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
You can't order a load of millions, and you can't
get one for less than a lot like eight nine
hundred dollars now six six to six hundred eight nine
hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Forad How many loads once upon a time did they
give us when they were filing up the air the
airstrip or Tallahassee, the runways they had, they couldn't get
rid of it, and they gave us.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I think I got that for like three hundred bucks,
and I know I would have paid twice that for it.
I called this first first thing I did on Wever
this morning. I called, I got this in the silos
who I need to talk to? And she said me, said, well,
here's my address. I'm gonna put it in my driveway
where it blong is. What did you do a bit
of millings? You put it in your driveway? I've got.
(16:14):
I've got the lime rock fits some rock. The problem
is is every time it gets dry, you get all
that white dust on everything. And the more you drive
over lime rock where it crushes out, powder gets and
and although it comes out of a hole probably two
miles as the crows fly right across the Chipolo River
(16:35):
from the pit where it comes from, it still cost
me six to eight hundred dollars to get somebody to
go over there and get me a load of it
and bring it, bring it literally around the corner. And
they won't let me take my loader over there and
pick it up because you have to have a dump truck.
I don't want the dump.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Truck growing up. We don't have nothing put on it.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Well, the problems on what kind of dirt you got there,
clay is you know, only downside the clay is when
it gets wet, then it's slipping.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, no of that. Then it gets in your tires
and throws off your balance. Yeah, when you try to drive, you.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Kind of like, well you kind of got to get
into rush to do that.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Well, I don't have a problem doing that.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I'll tell you this, Fred So, I grew up driving
on Georgia red clay roads. It is a non license
under the age to get a licensed driver. I could
drive from our house to town via said red dirt roads.
Now that was a way out of the way. It
wasn't like getting on Highway ninety and driving seven miles
into town. It's more like a ten or twelve mile trip.
(17:38):
And I had to go down Highway ninety for about
a mile, and then I could hit the back roads
and I could drive to the baseball field, go to
baseball practice, drive myself at fourteen fifteen. So, but I
learned to drive on those red clay roads, some of
which had very large hills on them and that kind
of stuff. I learned to drive on that in all
(17:59):
weather situations. And when I got to the police academy
and they put me on the skid pan at the
police academy. So at the police academy, when they're teaching
you evoc evasive driving, they're teaching you emergency driving, emergency
vehicle operation. He got out there and they had this
old instructor in the car with me, and the instructor
sitting over there in the pasture seat, and he's got
a handbrake where he can reach it, and this car
(18:22):
specially made for it and are set up for it.
And they put you out there on this really slick
piece of asphalt that was polished. I mean it's shiny polished,
and they turned the sprinkler on around it. And they
get out there with dish soap and put dish soap
on top of the wet, red, shiny slick and it,
I mean it's slicker, and yeah, have all stuff on
with them, you know. And he gets out there and
(18:44):
he goes, all right, you can get up to this
speed and hit the hit the skid pan, and I'm on,
I'm gonna put you into a skin a spin. I'm
gonna put you into a skid and you need to
correct and not run off in the woods and whatever else,
because there are a lot of people run off in
the woods or run off the end of the grass
and you you didn't pass. And he's out there and
I'm getting on that thing. You put me in a
(19:04):
souped up car, you know, And I hit that skid
pen and he's starting to try to put make me skared.
And every time he'd start to skid, I just steer
out of it and it never would never would get loose,
you know, and he's like, quit doing that. I was like, well,
you told me not to let it scared, and he
tried again, try it again, he'd do it again, and
I just immediately the minute I felt to any kind
(19:25):
of traction break, I'm steering into the thing. And he
never could put me in the skid and he could
looks at me and he goes, boy, would you grow up?
I said, he was from Sneeds. He said, boy, where'd
you grow up? I said, I'm fro chattahitchee. He goes,
you've been driving him Greg clay l Rhades all your
life And I said, yes, sir, live down one of them.
He goes, all right, then you passed and you were long.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Well after that, I've had lots of crashes, but none
of them have been a result of skidding off the road.
I can handle that one.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Well. If you don't know how to drive on the
Red Clay Road, you will end up in the ditch
in certain conditions.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
We had the redneck version of that at Chippota College
back when I was in the academy in eighty nine
to ninety whatever it was, and we went out to
the airport and they had some They just had some
packed grass and they went out there and they sprayed
it with a fire hose and we got out there
and spun around in circles on the wet grass. Now
now they have a I think they have a skid
pant or something up at the firing rings. But back
(20:21):
then we just I don't know what they did. They
might still go do the same thing. But I remember
I was in the car and one old boy that
I don't he passed by on the house. But we
had all the windows rolled down and they put two
of us in the back seats so we could watch
the ones in the front. And obviously the passenger is
the instructor and the guy that and we got up
(20:43):
on two wheels and I'm looking at the ground out
the passenger side and grass is flying in.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
He had done bit the rims into that dirt out
there and got the.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
And uh yeah, and that happens. Boy. I remember that
to this day. I'm thinking, well this, And what bothered
me was the old boy sitting next to me. He
was gonna fall on me because we were wearing a
seat belt in the back seat. I don't know anybody's
wearing a seat belt back. Then that's back when you
used to when you use a kid used to lay
up in their back.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Did they you know what the jay turn is? You
know what the jay turn is.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You know what jay turn is.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
So you get the car going in reverse, you put
it in reverse, get it wound up headed backwards, and
you basically touched the brakes and hit the steering wheel
at the same time. And you can go from going
backwards to going forwards like and then you in the
middle of all that, you're kind of changing gears and
so it's a quick way to turn around and go
the other way. It's Rockford Files, James, remember old Rockford
(21:38):
Files that the gold colored Firebird or whatever trans am
he throw. He did jay turns all the time on
the show. It's is you know, cool cool maneuver. And uh,
they showed us they were going to show us the
jay turn and not teach it to us. And I
looked at the old guy that was instructing me. I said,
I've been doing that a long time out there in
the cow in the cow pasture in the sixty eight
Chevrolet stepside watched this and he I was going to
(22:02):
show him I could do that, and I got in
all kind of trouble.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I had a remember the toy the Toyota little pickup
trucks with the pull breake, the mercy brake. Pull you
right off the side of the road with that thing
and get two tires in the grass, and then get
four tires in. Get the front right left tire back
on the pavement that snatched that brake, pop it and
pop the clip and turn around. You'd spin around and
go the other direction. You just had to throw it
(22:25):
in the first gear. And I had a buddy that
was good at that. Just hear the mess out of
your girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I had a buddy that was real, real good at
doing that with an STN pickup truck. And then he
flipped it and it just didn't work out for it
after that.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Apparently I'm fortunate. I was fortunate enough. Anyway. Well, you
can't do it once you jack, get rear in and
put the much tires on that strip. Mine, We'll be
right back.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Is your back killing you from sitting in an uncomfortable
desk all day? Do you have pain radiating down your
leg or down the arm? Called doctor Joseph Miller, d C.
At the Tallahassee Spine Center and ask about spinal decompression
therapy at eight five zero five, eight zero five to two,
five to two.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Are you tired of that chainsaw that never starts when
you need it? Do you spend your whole weekend fighting
your old lawnmower? It doesn't have to be that way.
South Side Mower has been serving to Tallahassee and surrounding
areas for thirty nine years. They have a wide range
of hus Varna, Gravely and ex smart lawnmowers, stell chainsaws, tremors,
edges and blowers, as well as generators, pressure washers and more.
If you need parts of service on any of your
(23:22):
outdoor power equipment, or it's time to purchase new equipment,
stop by south Side Moors at eighteen eighty five South
in Roe Street, one mile south of the Capitol, or
visit the website Southside mowor dot com and so. On
the break, we were discussing weekend redneck activities you know,
(23:45):
and Fred were you were going on about back in
the day whe little town you were in. All they
did was get a case of Budweiser right around and
do to cut doughnuts and go mudd and.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Stuff, go mudding and then on Saturday night, this is
in Butler, Allaby.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
And j D and I are going uh huh and
and it sounds like a good weekend to me.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And then you know, and of course you know, I
this is the first time I ever been to Butler, Alabama.
I was away in military school. I had a roommate
from there.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
And were you were you a back then? I was
a ute.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
There were a lot of utes in that school, and
most of them been sent away from.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Regular school for one reason or another.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
One reason, uh, volunteer. They were sent away.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
They were exceptional children.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
That was the that was the answered special education back then,
as your parents shipped you off military school. Such happened
to me in my senior year. And uh and and
I would go home with my roommate, who was just
as much as a delinquent as I was. And but
I didn't grow up in that spot.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I grew up in Tallahassee, big city compared to Alabama.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Which is, you know, metropolis compared to that place. I mean,
they had one restaurant, I think it's called Deep at
Squally Peace there or something in there. And on Saturday nights,
the big attraction for the utes in Butler, Alabama, was
they had a tire burning.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
They were burned good.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
They would take somebody go to a junk yard and
get a bunch of tires.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Mm hmmm, or some gas on it, por some dance, right.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
And everybody standing around and drink Budweiser watching a tire burn.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
We did. We did it with pallettes. If you saw
a truckload of pallettes on a Friday or Saturday night party,
followed it to the party. And I mean, that's just
that's and now we would get on CEBE radios and
we would discuss that, Hey, I so and so, so
and so it's got a truck full of palettes. Where's
he going? I don't know any answering the radio follow him?
See which he said? He's what He's going out to
(25:41):
dead Cow?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I thought he was going to antsy Land. And know
that was we were at Magnolia the other night. It
was which which boat landing? Or which crossroads out in
the middle of nowhere? Or we going to the clay
pit they had. And they can take this conversation and
put it anywhere in the South in rural areas. And
somebody got a clay pitney block.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, you were going to the ninety block that was
you know whatever, clay pit, sandpit.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yeah. Well, of course there's a military school. So somebody
brought some repelling gear to the clay pit. And everybody
repelling down into the clay pit.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
You're weird. It's okay.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
That was a show enough pit. To see. Our pit
had walls on it, but you could get a enough.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
This thing went straight down. It's probably hundred feet.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Had we had a place, there was a place between
Bristol and Chattahooche. This we just called it the sand Hills,
and it was just a big, huge sand dune from
ocean sand dune from ten thousand years ago, thirty thousand
years ago, whatever. And if you had a sure enough
four wheel drive truck, you could go down one side,
through the creek at the bottom and up the other side.
But you better have a sure enough you better have
(26:44):
a sure enough pickup truck, because the downside of that
was if you didn't make it up the other side,
you better be real careful back and down because that's
a good way to turn. I've seen I've seen vehicles
roll down that sand pit.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
So I rolled into the clay pit, I'm out marrying
as it was a Baxterres's clay pit, but the clay pit,
and we had we had dug a trench and put
about six or eight kegs of beer in that thing.
We lined it with plastic and filled it up with
ice and salt rock salt, and froze a couple of
the kegs. I think that cake. That cake party went
(27:16):
on all weekend. But I had my I had Daddy.
Daddy had bought this long wheel base in nineteen seventy
nine Ford F one, and that was the one I
put the lift kit on with the wood blocks and
to steal the toolbar off the tractor implement, and I
got brand new dual exhaust put on that thing and
went up, went up a little dirt hill and got
(27:38):
centered out on it, and everybody pushed me off. But
when I went back down backwards, the two dual exhausts
coming out the back caught in the dirt and bent
them right straight back up underneath the truck, ripped the
hangers off, and all I had and I went from
blah blah blah blood up and I got out with
a hack saw and cut my brand new exhaustyle and
(28:02):
so for the next six or eight months, I'd go
around town.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I watched a guy, remember the Suzuki samurais oh. I
watched the dude one time at the sand hill down there.
I don't know who he was, but everybody, I mean dude,
people from three counties would come to this middle of
nowhere out there on Saint Joe Lynn, middle of nowhere
just to try it. I watched a guy roll a
brand new Suzuki Samurai from the top of that hill
to the creek.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It probably looked better after he rolled it.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
No, it was pretty flat. I don't know, hate it.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
We'll be back.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Are you looking for a place to buy quality shoes
but want to work with a local small business that
greets you like a friend and still knows what they're doing.
I'm J. D. Johnson. Both Charlie and I use the
Shoe Box for all of our work, boots, casual shoes,
and shirt.
Speaker 1 (28:46):

and children's shoes and a number of major brands. They
know how to fit shoes properly and can even fit
you in orthotics to make great shoes fit even better.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
If you see us, We're probably wearing a car heart
shirt embordered by Jeff and shoes from there as well.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
They're located at twenty eight twenty South and Road Street,
just north of the Fairgrounds. Tell them we said hello, Hey,
it's Charlie and Jedd from Tallan. Do you have residential
or commercial roofing needs? What about a bathroom or kitchen remodel?
How about commercial construction? If you do, call our good
friend Travis Parkman at Teespark Enterprises. They do roof replacements,
roof repair, and new construction. Travis does commercial and residential work.
(29:23):
Has come to my rescue on more than one occasion,
so I trust him to get it right. Find him
at tespark Construction dot com or call him at eight
five O seven sixty six thirteen forty.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
We're backed. Substantial will talk about good Is that curiousity?
Any work do you think Substantial will talk about.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Did you see your TikTok video about a crayolacent and no,
I did forty nine point five thousand views.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, I saw.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
That about the the trademarked trademark since yeah, that one
of them. It was well, I think, well, I think
there was. You mentioned Crayola and the demographics. I think
most of them were Marines, but.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
The that's a food group for marines.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
See here we are here, we are non military guys
picking on people I don't want to pick on.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
I'm friends with enough Marines I can say. They will
all eat crayons and lick windows. Every one of them
I know are prone to eating crayons and licking window.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
My daddy was a corman in Vietnam and he saved it.
He saved enough Marines lives to where I get a
little away. I think I love all of them. Don't
get me wrong, I do. I dearly love all of them.
But they were all and they say they prefer rit
I like. I don't know. I like watching military guys
pick on each other. Now. I got a call from
UH from Frank up and doath and yesterday and he goes, hey,
(30:56):
our range program glocks came in, and our stocking dealer
blocks came in. And I don't know which orders which
And I said, well, tell me what's on which order?
He told me, And I said, okay, is there any
invoice numberor anything with it? And he goes, He goes, yeah,
there's a gs D blah blah blah, and there's an RPA,
and I was and I said, okay, so the RP
(31:18):
is range program and GSD is block stocking dealer. And
he goes, oh, well that makes sense. I said, Now,
hold on a minute. You're a retired army helicopter helicops.
I said, Now, you military guys, you're not used to acronyms.
I understand you guys aren't familiar with the use of
acronyms at all like US civilians are. And so maybe
you need to maybe we need to give you a
(31:40):
lesson on what things.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Now, well, it could be that if we go back
and we were able to find the Apache helicopter that
he actually flew, we might find window lick prints on
the inside of his Well.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Now, now I guarantee, well, I will tell you that.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I know a lot of different P thirty eight.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
So I'm sorry, go ahead, Charlie. See, I can't listen
to two or three military people having a conversation because
they fall into what we used to when cops still
use ten codes and signals.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Oh yeah, speak a whole language.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
When we were talking about that, that's what.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Me and my wife use when we don't want the
kids to know what we're talking about. Unfortunately, now my
kids have heard it enough they know what exactly what that.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Means, and they're not even using that much anymore. They've
gone to plane speak, which we still use words that
don't make sense to the normal people, just like military
people do. I mean, you get in a room and
it's their cultures.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Send your wife a text, I'm fifty one to the
forty two, and the kid picks it up and I'm
going home. Daddy's on the way home.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Yeah, going home.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
It took me about three years because every time I
was around cops, this signal twenty kept coming up, and
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
They were talking about you, they were speaking to go
to you in your presence.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
They were yes.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
And the problem is is that military people don't realize
that normal folks don't understand what they're saying. Sometimes in
law enforcement sometimes doesn't realize that normal folks. And I'd
hear I'd hear law enforcement officers of that on calls
with and they'd be talking to Joe blow citizen, somebody
that was a complaint or a victim, and they start
throwing codes and stuff at him. You're like, he don't know,
(33:15):
he doesn't Yeah, And then he doesn't, you know, hey,
just tell them I'm fifty one. I'll tell you one.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Bad guys that did two is five? You know it's
bad guys did in fact understand several of the magic
words like ten forty nine, ten forty nine or ninety
nine ninety nine. Yeah, what you share? Ten fifteen? They
all knew what ten fifteen or ten twelve are you?
And then you know, you get smart and they are
(33:42):
you ten twelve when they're gone. The radio dispatcher trying
to be cool and us not use those magic words
that they that a lot of the bad guys understood.
The frequent flyers, you know, frequent flyers would understand ten
forty nine, ninety nine whatever. They would understand that I
was biling because I worked at the city agent or
state agency and the Sheriff's office, and they were codes
(34:04):
were different, but I spoke both of them, and I.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Knew the city because I worked at fsu EU and
we ran around with a little scanner up there on
the A pillar all the time, listen to everything I said.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
It was the fact when we couldn't talk to each other,
but we could talk to each other because the city
offers were scanning us, and we were scanning them and
we would talk to them. We would just say things
to nobody on the radio and that we knew that
a TPD alser or buddy that was working at TPD
was also listening. And then all of a sudden he'd
show up and they're like, how did you get him
there so fast? Well, I told him one way, you know, Oh.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah, yeah, it was. I mean we caught I remember
being on FSU campus catching armed robbers coming out of
Frenchtown walking through campus, and we're out there with them,
and you know, just tell city, I'm ten twelve out
here with this suspect and blah blah blah, and next
thing you know, TPD car whips around there and there
they are. Yeah. You know, I didn't talk to many
(34:54):
deputies back then because anytime I saw them, they were
too busy, and you know, if you could get them
to roll a winded down, they just had. You know,
I didn't realize there was only like two and the.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Whole like eight of them, and they were all busy whole.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
County and there was two in the city and if
typically they were doing something and I just thought they
were being rude and then I became one and realized,
you know, the only reason I talked to the f
sup D because they're all my friends. They uh and
to this day still it's run by our friend.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
The world has come a long way in that now
all the local agencies all can talk to each other
and it's encrypted and they don't have to remember all
memorize all those codes and keep up all that stuff.
Pretty much playing language now. And because it's they're encrypted,
that's why you can't. You could buy a scanner, it
ain't gonna help you because they're they're changing frequencies. It's
(35:43):
constantly changing frequencies and sub frequencies, and it's encrypted.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
It's tough to get cops to quit using those now.
They went to playing language in Jackson County after my
wife got over there, and it's it's tough, you know.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
You, And it made a lot of people mad. It
made a bunch of folks mad because that was high
entertainment for a lot of folks that sit around with
these with with fancy scanners and listen to the listen
to the what was going on in the world. And
I remember going to calls when we first went to
a trunk a trunk tracking fancy radio system at the
sheriff's office, and they they go to the calls with
(36:20):
the old folks or something, you know, and they're sitting
around the house, nothing better to do but listen to
the listen to the scanner, and you'd get a call.
U can you go down and speak to Miss so?
And so I've been trying to listen to y'all all
night and I can't get nothing. Do what what's going
on with you radios? And why scanner doesn't work anymore?
And like, yes, ma'am, sorry to meet you at the door.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
You know, I heard you on scanner you were pulling
in the yard. So I came on down here.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Now, I came down here for you, because that ain't
no joke. But bad guys were using them too, sophisticated.
Bad guys were using that same same technology that you
had back then.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Things change, things do in fact change. But then again,
most people used to support law enforcement back then, and
that that's kind of gone.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
I think we're seeing I think you're starting to see
the direction because they kind of realized they might need
those guys in their life every now and then.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah, I think the whole defund thing didn't really work
out that well.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
They hurt the people that needed it the most.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah, because the people that were screaming defund law enforcement,
the people that called the most, you know, the people
that didn't ever call. They were like, we support law enforcement,
but you know, I can't tell you the last time
I had them at my house. But the people that
were calling all the time, we don't want you to hear.
What do I want you to hear? And that's the
same thing they call you, and then you show up
and you don't tell them what they want to hear,
and now they're mad at you. And now you got
(37:42):
all these people run around videotape and everything. Which now
there's some bad cops out there, I mean there are some.
There's some people that it happens, and I would say
that there are more law enforcement officers that aren't educated
in all of the nuances of the law and the
case law and things, and maybe have been trained in
the direction where they may be a little overbearing as
(38:03):
as opposedly just bad cop Charlie.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Unfortunately, a lot of that stems from the defund the police,
no support for law enforcement because so many people left,
the left the business or left the left the career
of law enforcement early, uh and just because of the
negative connotation of being a cop, and you've got fewer
and fewer qualified applicants or people that can make more
(38:28):
money doing something else, or they don't want to put
up with the politics of it or whatever else. So
you're you're hiring pool has gotten uh much smaller. And
agencies are willing to sometimes take marginal, marginal people because
they raise their hand and they're willing to do it.
And I'm not necessarily that's a bad thing, but I
think you, I think it's all part of the same thing.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
If you if somebody offered to pay you today, would
you go back and work the road.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
And and and and what I would make today if
I left here and I raise my hand up and
I could pass all that stuff, and with my experience
whatever else, I'd be making six figures in today's law
enforcement at my with my experience level that most agencies
around here, I would start out making close to six figures.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
I got. I got a phone call earlier asking about
some of the off duty right, and it's through the roof.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yeah, there's there's you know, they don't they don't make
that much money. They don't make enough money. You know,
they don't print enough money for to get me to
go back. Yes, wouldn't do it, I mean, and it's
getting harder. It's not because I'm scared either, It's just
I wouldn't put up with it.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Now, all right, we'll be back just a minute.
Speaker 6 (39:37):
Some battles are worth fighting. They build character and teach
important lessons. Other times, the more we reassess, the longer
we stay stuck. When a simple change would change everything.

am char distributor rep on the phone yesterday and all
he want to do is go fishing, a go turkey hunting.
But it was like tornadoes.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Yeah, they've been having I talked to him pretty much
every day and uh, he said, they have had the
worst weather there in Pennsylvania. It's where you live.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
She said, So I ain't going on. I'm not going
fishing because I'm not going to get out on the
water with the lightning rod in my hand. But I'm
going turkey hunting.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Yeah, he had, he he was. He was lamenting about
not being able to get on the water to me.
So how about you, Paul, You've been on the water.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
Yes, it was out there this morning. Yeah, and uh

It seems like they were it was just slow.

But man, I tell you, actually finally starting to see
some brims starting to come up on the bed. Yeah,
and I haven't really seen it until this last couple
of days. But their bram are starting to buss that.
I like to see that because now the bass will
start pushing back in. But they've had the water up

Speaker 5 (42:06):
Haven't seen him an he may flies yet. I think

Speaker 3 (42:11):
I'll ask you a question. I went and and I
went bass fishing Wednesday, Wednesday evening after supper, right around
the corner of the house, and we were throwing frogs
on lily pads because I was seeing some some movement
out there. I had I had two strikes at my
frog and it was probably ten seconds after I had
(42:31):
moved the frog. I had pulled the frog through the
through the paths and almost got the bait back to
the boat. And then all of a sudden, you see
something blow up on the blow up on where it came,
where it had been, where the bait had been. They
were so far behind it, and it was it was
late in the afternoon, sunsetting, you know, low light or whatever.
And I just it does do you think like top
(42:52):
water frog bait fishing works better when you've got a
bright light source, when you when it's brighter at times?
Speaker 5 (42:58):
At times for sure, definitely.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
I mean they're laying there underneath those pads and the shadows,
and they're looking up through a through a crack in
the you know where the water is in between the pads,
and they're laying there looking at that silhouette come come
moving by. So I would think you would have to
have a significant enough light source above the bait that
bait to show up.
Speaker 4 (43:17):
In the early morning, late the evening.
Speaker 5 (43:19):
I like to kind of fish the outside edge kind
of so they can key on a little bit better.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Well, there ain't no outside edges, and like ammonia, it's
already yeah for the most parts that for the boat
runs and I but we were seeing a lot of
fish moving a man. We threw everything I took with
us that afternoon. I couldn't, didn't didn't get a true
bite on anything, hit it.
Speaker 4 (43:37):
And sucked it in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll have that
right now.
Speaker 5 (43:40):
I think as we as we go into the summer,
that bite is going to get you know, there's times
you can throw in them as the bait's hitting.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
Oh yeah, they're coming out to water and get already.
Speaker 4 (43:50):
You know that's coming.
Speaker 3 (43:51):
That's so I told her, I said, I just want
you to get one. She's never caught a bass on
a frog on the top water bait. And I said,
if I could just do any thing and get like
a five or six pound bass and watch that thing
come out of the water three feet away from that
frog and land on top of it and just explode,
I said that you would be so hooked on bass
fishing that you just couldn't.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
You know. That's right.
Speaker 5 (44:12):
And that's the funnest bite when that when they're doing that,
and oh man, I remember throwing a heading zero spook,
remember those working along and they'll just jump completely out
of the water and like pause up in there and.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Then come back down and eat it.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
So like Michael Jordan just paws in their and didn't
get it.
Speaker 4 (44:32):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
Yeah, she grew up saltwater fishing, so she's she's the
top water top water fishing. It's not something she did
a lot of. She grew up fishing a lot, but
it was all you know and stuff.
Speaker 4 (44:42):
I mean, it would tell me that top water bike.
Speaker 5 (44:44):
When they're doing that, it's kind of like you know
people's they try to crack one time and they're done.
It kind of meshes you up.
Speaker 4 (44:50):
You're just you're hooked after that.
Speaker 5 (44:53):
So a lot matter than livescow watch it throwing out
there and watching the fish and making it. But that's
what this last tournament up there on on Someone was
one the lot of the I think the two out
of the top ten were all caught.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
It had a was a Major League Fishing Tournaments tournament.
I watched watch some of the TV coverage on it.
Speaker 5 (45:09):
Yeah yeah, but like I said, the bremerre starting to
bed to show those may flies. That's gonna be happening
any day, any day. I had a customer from a
call actually a longtime listener of the show from Destin
when it was asking questions about the conversation we was
having about rods and reels, and got to talk with
him what a really really nice guy. Let's show for
a long time and it was the answers questions. He
(45:31):
was going to get a couple more road really.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Fred I found I found something the other day. Jim
over here next door was working on this guy.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
And I forgot to bring my rods. I was good.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
Yeah, well Jim was. Jim was repairing a reel for
a gentleman who found the reel in the bottom of
the lake somewhere. I don't know what body of order
he was on. It was a Shimano and I'm not
gonna remember. I'm not gonna remember there the model number,
but it's it's about a five hundred.
Speaker 4 (45:56):
Dollars retail Its noting a tennium is it?
Speaker 3 (45:58):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (45:59):
Yeah? Maybe?
Speaker 3 (46:00):
Uh it had. It actually has a It actually has
a magnetic brake system that has a computer chip and
the fool spinning creates electricity to run this thing. To
basically make an open faced bait casting reel that you
essentially cannot backlash. And Jim said, you could actually tie
(46:23):
on a little lightweight bait and throw it with the
wind and take your thumb or throw it in and
then turn around throw the same bait into the wind
and never have to make adjustments to your reel or whatever.
But it's it is this basically computer computerized bass fishing reel.
And I was I was sitting there watching. I don't
(46:44):
I don't, to be honest with I don't think it's
sitting at the bottom of the lake. Did it no
good either? Because the module, the breaking module on that
reel is replacement cost is like two hundred bucks just
for the module or the reel. The reels like five
hundred bucks. It's like a five hundred dollar bait cast.
I'm thinking to myself, you know, my granddaddy, that would
(47:05):
save enough change to buy a twenty five dollars Ambassador
five thousand sea and I still have those same reels
that still work. Would rolla He has got to be
turning over it. He's got to be up there in
heaven somewhere pounding his head against what's wrong with these people.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
Well that just goes to show that if you spend
enough money, even I can fish.
Speaker 3 (47:31):
We might. We got to get you one of them
reels you just got. Okay, tell me, Fred, you done
bought a vanstall.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
Not even buy a v install. But I know what
he's talking about.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
Okay, Yeah, I mean you know, it's just ordered off
a sky magazine on a flight somewhere, a fishing ride.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
You didn't get off a team of you.
Speaker 2 (47:52):
So, speaking speaking of fishing, have you seen what the
governor has done for us?
Speaker 3 (47:59):
Gave us a whole much more snapper snapper fish one
hundred and something six fishing days snapper.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
Yeah, and has said that the fifth weather screws us up,
he's gonna.
Speaker 3 (48:11):
Add to it, add to it. I wonder if he,
I wonder if he fished, he must fish.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
I think he does.
Speaker 3 (48:15):
Well, he's just real mad at the federal biologist here that.
Speaker 2 (48:19):
We're uh, yeah, there's a snapper shortage.
Speaker 3 (48:21):
Shortage of snappers. When you go out there to try
to grouper fish on the two days a year, they
give you a group of fish and you can't get
a bait to the bottom because the snapper snapper won't
let it get there.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
Look, if I can catch a snapper, there is no
snapper shortage. I can tell you that. Speaking of that,
Southern Seafood's main commercial boat went out last week and
Sunday left it four in the morning, got back to
the dock by noon. Uh sixteen hundred pounds.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
Wow, love snapper man. Uh so if you are looking
for snapper this weekend, they got something Southern seafood.
Speaker 3 (48:57):
Wow, that's a polotic h you going? When am I
gonna get invited to go on one of these? Uh?
Plist them in trips.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
As a matter of fact, I talked to him about
that last week and said, I need to take j
D one of these. Charlie don't want to go. I
want to go, but I need to take jad. He said, yeah, yeah,
we're getting mad. I think he had six guys on
the boat and he said they chummed them up to
the to the ten feeders. They caught them all spinning
reel one hundred and fifty feet of water and it
(49:25):
got to be like a.
Speaker 4 (49:26):
Lamb from that far. I can have you ever?
Speaker 3 (49:30):
Have you ever, Paul? Have you ever been offshore fishing?
Speaker 4 (49:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (49:34):
Three times and I got sick at each time. And
I ain't never going back.
Speaker 3 (49:38):
So Charlie can hold hands on the dock while the harvest.
Speaker 1 (49:43):
JD can go. He can come back and tell the
story you and I will pretend to care.
Speaker 3 (49:48):
There is nothing more awesome than watching, uh you know
what a chum churn? You ever seen a chum.
Speaker 4 (49:54):
Churn, I would be churning.
Speaker 3 (49:57):
You ever seen fred, Have you ever seen a chum
turn one of them?
Speaker 2 (50:00):
The ones were you fill it up, just throw it
overside the bakelet.
Speaker 3 (50:02):
It No, no, no, no. This is a giant piece
of PBC pipe with a bunch of holes and slots
and stuff cut in it, and it's got a big
aluminum rod that goes down through the middle of it
with razor blades on it. Oh okay, And you stick
this thing over and it fills up with water, which
weighs it down, and you got a big hook in
and it's got razorblades. It's like one of those vegetable
(50:23):
choppers that you almost got that you screw the lid
on and hit the top on, same thing, except you
feel it full of cigar menos or l wise whatever
you have. And you hang it over the side of
the boat and you sit there and chunk chunk, chunk chunk,
and it makes the craziest rackets you've ever heard. But
it sounds like something chewing up fish.
Speaker 4 (50:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:40):
And you get over some of these artificial reefs or
some of these places offshore Panama City or whatever, where
you've got some hopper cars in the water or whatever,
and you stick that thing over the side and you
go to working that thing up and down like a
butter churn, and it starts chopping that stuff and the
whole and you're looking into a blue abyss where you
can't see any bottom. And then all of a sudden,
the bottoms start moving and getting darker. And then as
(51:01):
they come up to where the light starts turning those
red snapper red that that big cloud, that dark cloud
turns into a bright red cloud. And then you're sitting
there just.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
But if you'll take if you'll take me to off
a house before we go out on a boat, I
can do.
Speaker 3 (51:18):
Just as good me too. If I get you to
eat l wise, then we'd be in business.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
We'll be back next week. We'll see you all next time.
And welcome to the Talent Outdoor Show. I'm Charlie, I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
J D and I'm Print, and I'm Captain Paul.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Tar and I'm Grant.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
And that was the show, ladies.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
Ye see, now we got to talk about sufficient.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
So have you noticed that people on the road, uh
tend to be less respectful in Tallahassee these days?
Speaker 5 (00:27):
And they have been noticing that too. They waved at
you a lot on one finger.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yes, I got it even worse. I'm coming to work
this morning, and you know, as usual, all the way
to work, I'm behind, and I'm trying to check emails
and I'm on.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
And I've read with you and you ain't behind and
then anyway, so go ahead, and I'm sure you share
no fault in anything that you're about to share with us.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I'll admit that I'm probably not the best driver, but
it's been a while since i've i mean at least
two months since I've crashed any and and I'm and
I'm so I'm trying to read my email and there's
there's only two cars on ox Bottom Road. There's a
car behind me and Noe and me, and so I
(01:09):
probably crossed the line a little bit as I was,
you know, headed towards stumps older. I was gonna put
it down when I got on Thompsviel Road with traffic,
and so I get to stop signing and I looked
to my left a bunch of cars coming, and the
guy behind me just lays on his horn. I mean
just lays on the horn. And I'm at this point,
I'm stopped, and I look behind, look at inverew mirror.
(01:32):
It's a it's a it's a gen z BITA male
wearing a mask in his car by himself with his
window rolls up, honking his horn at me.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Well, I was about to say that Fred did not
have the option of getting out of the car and
intimidating this person with this size, But now that you've
described the other driver, you probably would have scared him
to death.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Angry little man, down ball headed version of you.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
And you know, I just had my two cups of coffee,
so I was, I was fired up.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So what did you do?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I sat there and let about five six cars go
by for a couple of minutes and made them sit
there away.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I had a massive passive aggressive.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
That's what I was. A passive agression I love.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I don't know what's passive aggressive mint until some some
woman girl, somebody somewhere along and said, you're so passive aggressive,
and I'm like, uh, let me google that. And I
looked it up, and you know what, I kind of am?
They had picture and I don't. I don't. I didn't.
I didn't know what it meant.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You're the definition of passing.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, I heard something. I heard somebody call somebody a
narcissist one time, and I looked that up and I'm
not that. But I looked it up and the person
that they were describing and I'm like, I don't even
know that was the thing. And then I looked at
it said you know what, that's true. That's not me.
But you know I'm better than all that. So but
(02:59):
I am passive aggressive sometimes and I catch myself. And
one of my daughters said something other day and I
and I and I I had to back up and think,
and I go, okay, how is this coming? You know what?
She's right? What I said because I was frustrated. What
I said would have come across to anybody is that
(03:20):
And I need to I'm not gonna apologize because I'm
never wrong but you know, or narcissistic.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, so when when you walk by a mirror, do
you look at it every time?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh? Lord, it's hard, you know. And I also I
also read a song about it.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, when you're perfect in every way?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You know, I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I don't look at the mirror every time I walk
by the only time I look in the mirror is
if I'm trying to see if I look like an
idiot before I leave the house. So I go, okay,
am I.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Checked for buggers?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Really?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
You ever find?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I mean, I look in the mirror when I'm brushing, well,
not when I'm ushing my teeth. I'm looking down at
the sink. When do I look in the mirror when
I brushed my beard? Because I don't if you died
your beard, I was waving. Somebody asked me about that.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
You're not going to do that.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Like a month and a half ago, I put some
my wife, and I.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Just, I just I just caught a glimpse, and you go,
you got some red going on in there a little bit? Now,
that is wear it all. I don't see you. I
don't see you that much. I don't sure, don't look
at you when I do so, I.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Put put something in there like three shows Again.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
When you said something about being narcissistic or not being narcissistic,
I looked over at you specifically that that point to
just make sure something else wasn't going on. And now
I noticed that.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
It got it was getting about like you yeah, I'm yeah.
And my wife was talking about, well, you know, you
know you wouldn't look so old if if your beard.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Wouldn't freaking two pay But you're going to.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Well if you if you would just go ahead and
give up with that comb over.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Thing you got going on, Paul, we're not going to
involve you in this conversation. You just sit over there
and be a good Christian and we're just gonna pick
on each.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Wayne comb over. I mean, let me tell you.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
That's a that's a sad calmb over.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Fred.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
You need to grow out the left side. You need
to grow out the left side or the right side,
one or the other. But all that little whispy stuff
on top, you need to do something about it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
If you give me thirty seconds and my clippers and
I'll fix all that for you.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
No, we're not doing that.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Well, that might take a minute, you know. I mean,
I gave up on hair a long time ago. I
just I just see.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
When you when you brush your hair in the mirror,
you're at eye level. When you're not seeing the top
of your head.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
When you're brushing your hair in the mirror, you're having
a hard time seeing over the sink.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Foss well that too. But I got a stool.

They started calling the kids up. Okay, our our ornamental
(11:39):
horticulture team is da da, Da da da. Our parliament
procedure team is DADA. D our forestry judging studa dad
and land judging and dada and and I remember those
and maybe livestock judging and maybe one more. When I
was in high school, they had like eighteen different teams
doing things from aquaculture to to I mean it was
(12:00):
stuff I hain't never heard of, and I mean it's
and and back when I was in the f f A,
they were like, I mean, I know it was loadus
summers and Penny Redmond by the only girls in the
whole thing. I remember because there was only two of them,
maybe three in my grade at more than half the
f f A women now are girls, you know. Uh,
(12:21):
and it and the advisors is a one. It has changed.
Miss Bebe's is doing it does a great job over there.
But I went because I think I was there was
only I think we were the only sponsor of the
event that was there other than people who were parents.
Got caught up and.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
There's a lot of the way high school stuff goes.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, that's kind of how it goes. You know, I
must I'm a sponsor because I'm a parent. Well, then
we got involved. I was the president back in the you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Know, who's the first two women that were in the
f A f A No, Marianna.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Wanda huh marijuana mary Anne and Wanda. Marianna and Wanda.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, they were both menmbers of the four H Club
and both active in the ff A. And then one
of them killed Earl.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Oh yeah, yeah, I was trying to because the earl
had to die.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Earl had to die.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So anyway, they had a silent auction and I walked
over there. You remember the shooting table that they had,
the thing that you get you one the very overbuilt
shooting table with the two millennium seats on the cadillac
of Well, the parent that won it donated it back. Yeah,
so Charles, Charles now belongs to me. It resides at
the Strickland Ranch. Yeah. And I got it, and I
(13:33):
and I mean, bless their heart. I was a high bid,
but it would have barely covered the cost of the seats.
But they had raffled money off the first time. And
then I didn't realize it was sitting there. I just said, yeah,
I want one like that.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Everybody else in the audience did not know that the
millennium boat seats for a hundred bucks a piece.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
And I got it, Like, right now, what is this thing?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It's a it's a it's a two stud It's a
right and left handed shooting table made out of treated
wood with a shelf under it. Kid that built it
got wheels and handles. You pick up one end and
you roll it around, and it's got two Millennium boat seats.
And I don't shoot left handed, but you know it's
got two seats on it. Personally, I'm thinking, my wife
(14:14):
is like, what are you gonna do with it? I said,
I'm gonna put it under the car port and deer
hunt out of it. This year, let's sit there and
there's some.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Corner in the back of my DrAk my coffee. Look
out the back.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
With that table, I can shoot out the five six.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Hundred yards easily.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh yeah, that thinks rest or something on it.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Where it's a test of shooting table, Fred, It's it's
a table with an ARMI yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
You have a piece of it that extends, so you're
kind of sitting in one corner of the table in
a seat, so you've got a place to rest the
rifle in the proper position, and you release your table platform.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
If you go down to one hundred yard range. You
got ten stations like that. It's just one of those, okay,
And I.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Got it.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, but if the table's not designed right, you can't
use that thing you put on.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So when I sit rifles in at the house, I'm
using two ice chests, a bag of corn, a five
gallon bucket to sit on. Okay, that's not the best way.
Now I got the table and my wife's like, where
are you gonna put it? And I say, thing about
all that, it'll be out there. I put it right
next to where you park. Just know you not.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
We'll see you've got a building up.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
But I can't tell you what's gonna happen to goat.
You're gonna have a heyday with it, because they get
on top of everything like that. And the other thing
I got was they had a load of millions from Anderson, Columbia.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Oh nice.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
You can't order a load of millions, and you can't
get one for less than a lot like eight nine
hundred dollars now six six to six hundred eight nine
hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Forad How many loads once upon a time did they
give us when they were filing up the air the
airstrip or Tallahassee, the runways they had, they couldn't get
rid of it, and they gave us.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I think I got that for like three hundred bucks,
and I know I would have paid twice that for it.
I called this first first thing I did on Wever
this morning. I called, I got this in the silos
who I need to talk to? And she said me, said, well,
here's my address. I'm gonna put it in my driveway
where it blong is. What did you do a bit
of millings? You put it in your driveway? I've got.
(16:14):
I've got the lime rock fits some rock. The problem
is is every time it gets dry, you get all
that white dust on everything. And the more you drive
over lime rock where it crushes out, powder gets and
and although it comes out of a hole probably two
miles as the crows fly right across the Chipolo River
(16:35):
from the pit where it comes from, it still cost
me six to eight hundred dollars to get somebody to
go over there and get me a load of it
and bring it, bring it literally around the corner. And
they won't let me take my loader over there and
pick it up because you have to have a dump truck.
I don't want the dump.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Truck growing up. We don't have nothing put on it.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Well, the problems on what kind of dirt you got there,
clay is you know, only downside the clay is when
it gets wet, then it's slipping.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, no of that. Then it gets in your tires
and throws off your balance. Yeah, when you try to drive, you.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Kind of like, well you kind of got to get
into rush to do that.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Well, I don't have a problem doing that.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I'll tell you this, Fred So, I grew up driving
on Georgia red clay roads. It is a non license
under the age to get a licensed driver. I could
drive from our house to town via said red dirt roads.
Now that was a way out of the way. It
wasn't like getting on Highway ninety and driving seven miles
into town. It's more like a ten or twelve mile trip.
(17:38):
And I had to go down Highway ninety for about
a mile, and then I could hit the back roads
and I could drive to the baseball field, go to
baseball practice, drive myself at fourteen fifteen. So, but I
learned to drive on those red clay roads, some of
which had very large hills on them and that kind
of stuff. I learned to drive on that in all
(17:59):
weather situations. And when I got to the police academy
and they put me on the skid pan at the
police academy. So at the police academy, when they're teaching
you evoc evasive driving, they're teaching you emergency driving, emergency
vehicle operation. He got out there and they had this
old instructor in the car with me, and the instructor
sitting over there in the pasture seat, and he's got
a handbrake where he can reach it, and this car
(18:22):
specially made for it and are set up for it.
And they put you out there on this really slick
piece of asphalt that was polished. I mean it's shiny polished,
and they turned the sprinkler on around it. And they
get out there with dish soap and put dish soap
on top of the wet, red, shiny slick and it,
I mean it's slicker, and yeah, have all stuff on
with them, you know. And he gets out there and
(18:44):
he goes, all right, you can get up to this
speed and hit the hit the skid pan, and I'm on,
I'm gonna put you into a skin a spin. I'm
gonna put you into a skid and you need to
correct and not run off in the woods and whatever else,
because there are a lot of people run off in
the woods or run off the end of the grass
and you you didn't pass. And he's out there and
I'm getting on that thing. You put me in a
(19:04):
souped up car, you know, And I hit that skid
pen and he's starting to try to put make me skared.
And every time he'd start to skid, I just steer
out of it and it never would never would get loose,
you know, and he's like, quit doing that. I was like, well,
you told me not to let it scared, and he
tried again, try it again, he'd do it again, and
I just immediately the minute I felt to any kind
(19:25):
of traction break, I'm steering into the thing. And he
never could put me in the skid and he could
looks at me and he goes, boy, would you grow up?
I said, he was from Sneeds. He said, boy, where'd
you grow up? I said, I'm fro chattahitchee. He goes,
you've been driving him Greg clay l Rhades all your
life And I said, yes, sir, live down one of them.
He goes, all right, then you passed and you were long.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Well after that, I've had lots of crashes, but none
of them have been a result of skidding off the road.
I can handle that one.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Well. If you don't know how to drive on the
Red Clay Road, you will end up in the ditch
in certain conditions.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
We had the redneck version of that at Chippota College
back when I was in the academy in eighty nine
to ninety whatever it was, and we went out to
the airport and they had some They just had some
packed grass and they went out there and they sprayed
it with a fire hose and we got out there
and spun around in circles on the wet grass. Now
now they have a I think they have a skid
pant or something up at the firing rings. But back
(20:21):
then we just I don't know what they did. They
might still go do the same thing. But I remember
I was in the car and one old boy that
I don't he passed by on the house. But we
had all the windows rolled down and they put two
of us in the back seats so we could watch
the ones in the front. And obviously the passenger is
the instructor and the guy that and we got up
(20:43):
on two wheels and I'm looking at the ground out
the passenger side and grass is flying in.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
He had done bit the rims into that dirt out
there and got the.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
And uh yeah, and that happens. Boy. I remember that
to this day. I'm thinking, well this, And what bothered
me was the old boy sitting next to me. He
was gonna fall on me because we were wearing a
seat belt in the back seat. I don't know anybody's
wearing a seat belt back. Then that's back when you
used to when you use a kid used to lay
up in their back.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Did they you know what the jay turn is? You
know what the jay turn is.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You know what jay turn is.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
So you get the car going in reverse, you put
it in reverse, get it wound up headed backwards, and
you basically touched the brakes and hit the steering wheel
at the same time. And you can go from going
backwards to going forwards like and then you in the
middle of all that, you're kind of changing gears and
so it's a quick way to turn around and go
the other way. It's Rockford Files, James, remember old Rockford
(21:38):
Files that the gold colored Firebird or whatever trans am
he throw. He did jay turns all the time on
the show. It's is you know, cool cool maneuver. And uh,
they showed us they were going to show us the
jay turn and not teach it to us. And I
looked at the old guy that was instructing me. I said,
I've been doing that a long time out there in
the cow in the cow pasture in the sixty eight
Chevrolet stepside watched this and he I was going to
(22:02):
show him I could do that, and I got in
all kind of trouble.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I had a remember the toy the Toyota little pickup
trucks with the pull breake, the mercy brake. Pull you
right off the side of the road with that thing
and get two tires in the grass, and then get
four tires in. Get the front right left tire back
on the pavement that snatched that brake, pop it and
pop the clip and turn around. You'd spin around and
go the other direction. You just had to throw it
(22:25):
in the first gear. And I had a buddy that
was good at that. Just hear the mess out of
your girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I had a buddy that was real, real good at
doing that with an STN pickup truck. And then he
flipped it and it just didn't work out for it
after that.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Apparently I'm fortunate. I was fortunate enough. Anyway. Well, you
can't do it once you jack, get rear in and
put the much tires on that strip. Mine, We'll be
right back.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Is your back killing you from sitting in an uncomfortable
desk all day? Do you have pain radiating down your
leg or down the arm? Called doctor Joseph Miller, d C.
At the Tallahassee Spine Center and ask about spinal decompression
therapy at eight five zero five, eight zero five to two,
five to two.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Are you tired of that chainsaw that never starts when
you need it? Do you spend your whole weekend fighting
your old lawnmower? It doesn't have to be that way.
South Side Mower has been serving to Tallahassee and surrounding
areas for thirty nine years. They have a wide range
of hus Varna, Gravely and ex smart lawnmowers, stell chainsaws, tremors,
edges and blowers, as well as generators, pressure washers and more.
If you need parts of service on any of your
(23:22):
outdoor power equipment, or it's time to purchase new equipment,
stop by south Side Moors at eighteen eighty five South
in Roe Street, one mile south of the Capitol, or
visit the website Southside mowor dot com and so. On
the break, we were discussing weekend redneck activities you know,
(23:45):
and Fred were you were going on about back in
the day whe little town you were in. All they
did was get a case of Budweiser right around and
do to cut doughnuts and go mudd and.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Stuff, go mudding and then on Saturday night, this is
in Butler, Allaby.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
And j D and I are going uh huh and
and it sounds like a good weekend to me.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And then you know, and of course you know, I
this is the first time I ever been to Butler, Alabama.
I was away in military school. I had a roommate
from there.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
And were you were you a back then? I was
a ute.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
There were a lot of utes in that school, and
most of them been sent away from.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Regular school for one reason or another.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
One reason, uh, volunteer. They were sent away.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
They were exceptional children.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
That was the that was the answered special education back then,
as your parents shipped you off military school. Such happened
to me in my senior year. And uh and and
I would go home with my roommate, who was just
as much as a delinquent as I was. And but
I didn't grow up in that spot.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I grew up in Tallahassee, big city compared to Alabama.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Which is, you know, metropolis compared to that place. I mean,
they had one restaurant, I think it's called Deep at
Squally Peace there or something in there. And on Saturday nights,
the big attraction for the utes in Butler, Alabama, was
they had a tire burning.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
They were burned good.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
They would take somebody go to a junk yard and
get a bunch of tires.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Mm hmmm, or some gas on it, por some dance, right.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
And everybody standing around and drink Budweiser watching a tire burn.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
We did. We did it with pallettes. If you saw
a truckload of pallettes on a Friday or Saturday night party,
followed it to the party. And I mean, that's just
that's and now we would get on CEBE radios and
we would discuss that, Hey, I so and so, so
and so it's got a truck full of palettes. Where's
he going? I don't know any answering the radio follow him?
See which he said? He's what He's going out to
(25:41):
dead Cow?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I thought he was going to antsy Land. And know
that was we were at Magnolia the other night. It
was which which boat landing? Or which crossroads out in
the middle of nowhere? Or we going to the clay
pit they had. And they can take this conversation and
put it anywhere in the South in rural areas. And
somebody got a clay pitney block.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, you were going to the ninety block that was
you know whatever, clay pit, sandpit.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yeah. Well, of course there's a military school. So somebody
brought some repelling gear to the clay pit. And everybody
repelling down into the clay pit.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
You're weird. It's okay.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
That was a show enough pit. To see. Our pit
had walls on it, but you could get a enough.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
This thing went straight down. It's probably hundred feet.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Had we had a place, there was a place between
Bristol and Chattahooche. This we just called it the sand Hills,
and it was just a big, huge sand dune from
ocean sand dune from ten thousand years ago, thirty thousand
years ago, whatever. And if you had a sure enough
four wheel drive truck, you could go down one side,
through the creek at the bottom and up the other side.
But you better have a sure enough you better have
(26:44):
a sure enough pickup truck, because the downside of that
was if you didn't make it up the other side,
you better be real careful back and down because that's
a good way to turn. I've seen I've seen vehicles
roll down that sand pit.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
So I rolled into the clay pit, I'm out marrying
as it was a Baxterres's clay pit, but the clay pit,
and we had we had dug a trench and put
about six or eight kegs of beer in that thing.
We lined it with plastic and filled it up with
ice and salt rock salt, and froze a couple of
the kegs. I think that cake. That cake party went
(27:16):
on all weekend. But I had my I had Daddy.
Daddy had bought this long wheel base in nineteen seventy
nine Ford F one, and that was the one I
put the lift kit on with the wood blocks and
to steal the toolbar off the tractor implement, and I
got brand new dual exhaust put on that thing and
went up, went up a little dirt hill and got
(27:38):
centered out on it, and everybody pushed me off. But
when I went back down backwards, the two dual exhausts
coming out the back caught in the dirt and bent
them right straight back up underneath the truck, ripped the
hangers off, and all I had and I went from
blah blah blah blood up and I got out with
a hack saw and cut my brand new exhaustyle and
(28:02):
so for the next six or eight months, I'd go
around town.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I watched a guy, remember the Suzuki samurais oh. I
watched the dude one time at the sand hill down there.
I don't know who he was, but everybody, I mean dude,
people from three counties would come to this middle of
nowhere out there on Saint Joe Lynn, middle of nowhere
just to try it. I watched a guy roll a
brand new Suzuki Samurai from the top of that hill
to the creek.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It probably looked better after he rolled it.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
No, it was pretty flat. I don't know, hate it.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
We'll be back.
Speaker 3 (28:34):

Speaker 3 (29:42):
We're backed. Substantial will talk about good Is that curiousity?
Any work do you think Substantial will talk about.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Did you see your TikTok video about a crayolacent and no,
I did forty nine point five thousand views.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, I saw.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
That about the the trademarked trademark since yeah, that one
of them. It was well, I think, well, I think
there was. You mentioned Crayola and the demographics. I think
most of them were Marines, but.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
The that's a food group for marines.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
See here we are here, we are non military guys
picking on people I don't want to pick on.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
I'm friends with enough Marines I can say. They will
all eat crayons and lick windows. Every one of them
I know are prone to eating crayons and licking window.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
My daddy was a corman in Vietnam and he saved it.
He saved enough Marines lives to where I get a
little away. I think I love all of them. Don't
get me wrong, I do. I dearly love all of them.
But they were all and they say they prefer rit
I like. I don't know. I like watching military guys
pick on each other. Now. I got a call from
UH from Frank up and doath and yesterday and he goes, hey,
(30:56):
our range program glocks came in, and our stocking dealer
blocks came in. And I don't know which orders which
And I said, well, tell me what's on which order?
He told me, And I said, okay, is there any
invoice numberor anything with it? And he goes, He goes, yeah,
there's a gs D blah blah blah, and there's an RPA,
and I was and I said, okay, so the RP
(31:18):
is range program and GSD is block stocking dealer. And
he goes, oh, well that makes sense. I said, Now,
hold on a minute. You're a retired army helicopter helicops.
I said, Now, you military guys, you're not used to acronyms.
I understand you guys aren't familiar with the use of
acronyms at all like US civilians are. And so maybe
you need to maybe we need to give you a
(31:40):
lesson on what things.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Now, well, it could be that if we go back
and we were able to find the Apache helicopter that
he actually flew, we might find window lick prints on
the inside of his Well.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Now, now I guarantee, well, I will tell you that.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I know a lot of different P thirty eight.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
So I'm sorry, go ahead, Charlie. See, I can't listen
to two or three military people having a conversation because
they fall into what we used to when cops still
use ten codes and signals.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Oh yeah, speak a whole language.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
When we were talking about that, that's what.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Me and my wife use when we don't want the
kids to know what we're talking about. Unfortunately, now my
kids have heard it enough they know what exactly what that.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Means, and they're not even using that much anymore. They've
gone to plane speak, which we still use words that
don't make sense to the normal people, just like military
people do. I mean, you get in a room and
it's their cultures.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Send your wife a text, I'm fifty one to the
forty two, and the kid picks it up and I'm
going home. Daddy's on the way home.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Yeah, going home.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
It took me about three years because every time I
was around cops, this signal twenty kept coming up, and
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
They were talking about you, they were speaking to go
to you in your presence.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
They were yes.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
And the problem is is that military people don't realize
that normal folks don't understand what they're saying. Sometimes in
law enforcement sometimes doesn't realize that normal folks. And I'd
hear I'd hear law enforcement officers of that on calls
with and they'd be talking to Joe blow citizen, somebody
that was a complaint or a victim, and they start
throwing codes and stuff at him. You're like, he don't know,
(33:15):
he doesn't Yeah, And then he doesn't, you know, hey,
just tell them I'm fifty one. I'll tell you one.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Bad guys that did two is five? You know it's
bad guys did in fact understand several of the magic
words like ten forty nine, ten forty nine or ninety
nine ninety nine. Yeah, what you share? Ten fifteen? They
all knew what ten fifteen or ten twelve are you?
And then you know, you get smart and they are
(33:42):
you ten twelve when they're gone. The radio dispatcher trying
to be cool and us not use those magic words
that they that a lot of the bad guys understood.
The frequent flyers, you know, frequent flyers would understand ten
forty nine, ninety nine whatever. They would understand that I
was biling because I worked at the city agent or
state agency and the Sheriff's office, and they were codes
(34:04):
were different, but I spoke both of them, and I.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Knew the city because I worked at fsu EU and
we ran around with a little scanner up there on
the A pillar all the time, listen to everything I said.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
It was the fact when we couldn't talk to each other,
but we could talk to each other because the city
offers were scanning us, and we were scanning them and
we would talk to them. We would just say things
to nobody on the radio and that we knew that
a TPD alser or buddy that was working at TPD
was also listening. And then all of a sudden he'd
show up and they're like, how did you get him
there so fast? Well, I told him one way, you know, Oh.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah, yeah, it was. I mean we caught I remember
being on FSU campus catching armed robbers coming out of
Frenchtown walking through campus, and we're out there with them,
and you know, just tell city, I'm ten twelve out
here with this suspect and blah blah blah, and next
thing you know, TPD car whips around there and there
they are. Yeah. You know, I didn't talk to many
(34:54):
deputies back then because anytime I saw them, they were
too busy, and you know, if you could get them
to roll a winded down, they just had. You know,
I didn't realize there was only like two and the.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Whole like eight of them, and they were all busy whole.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
County and there was two in the city and if
typically they were doing something and I just thought they
were being rude and then I became one and realized,
you know, the only reason I talked to the f
sup D because they're all my friends. They uh and
to this day still it's run by our friend.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
The world has come a long way in that now
all the local agencies all can talk to each other
and it's encrypted and they don't have to remember all
memorize all those codes and keep up all that stuff.
Pretty much playing language now. And because it's they're encrypted,
that's why you can't. You could buy a scanner, it
ain't gonna help you because they're they're changing frequencies. It's
(35:43):
constantly changing frequencies and sub frequencies, and it's encrypted.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
It's tough to get cops to quit using those now.
They went to playing language in Jackson County after my
wife got over there, and it's it's tough, you know.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
You, And it made a lot of people mad. It
made a bunch of folks mad because that was high
entertainment for a lot of folks that sit around with
these with with fancy scanners and listen to the listen
to the what was going on in the world. And
I remember going to calls when we first went to
a trunk a trunk tracking fancy radio system at the
sheriff's office, and they they go to the calls with
(36:20):
the old folks or something, you know, and they're sitting
around the house, nothing better to do but listen to
the listen to the scanner, and you'd get a call.
U can you go down and speak to Miss so?
And so I've been trying to listen to y'all all
night and I can't get nothing. Do what what's going
on with you radios? And why scanner doesn't work anymore?
And like, yes, ma'am, sorry to meet you at the door.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
You know, I heard you on scanner you were pulling
in the yard. So I came on down here.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Now, I came down here for you, because that ain't
no joke. But bad guys were using them too, sophisticated.
Bad guys were using that same same technology that you
had back then.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Things change, things do in fact change. But then again,
most people used to support law enforcement back then, and
that that's kind of gone.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
I think we're seeing I think you're starting to see
the direction because they kind of realized they might need
those guys in their life every now and then.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah, I think the whole defund thing didn't really work
out that well.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
They hurt the people that needed it the most.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah, because the people that were screaming defund law enforcement,
the people that called the most, you know, the people
that didn't ever call. They were like, we support law enforcement,
but you know, I can't tell you the last time
I had them at my house. But the people that
were calling all the time, we don't want you to hear.
What do I want you to hear? And that's the
same thing they call you, and then you show up
and you don't tell them what they want to hear,
and now they're mad at you. And now you got
(37:42):
all these people run around videotape and everything. Which now
there's some bad cops out there, I mean there are some.
There's some people that it happens, and I would say
that there are more law enforcement officers that aren't educated
in all of the nuances of the law and the
case law and things, and maybe have been trained in
the direction where they may be a little overbearing as
(38:03):
as opposedly just bad cop Charlie.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Unfortunately, a lot of that stems from the defund the police,
no support for law enforcement because so many people left,
the left the business or left the left the career
of law enforcement early, uh and just because of the
negative connotation of being a cop, and you've got fewer
and fewer qualified applicants or people that can make more
(38:28):
money doing something else, or they don't want to put
up with the politics of it or whatever else. So
you're you're hiring pool has gotten uh much smaller. And
agencies are willing to sometimes take marginal, marginal people because
they raise their hand and they're willing to do it.
And I'm not necessarily that's a bad thing, but I
think you, I think it's all part of the same thing.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
If you if somebody offered to pay you today, would
you go back and work the road.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
And and and and what I would make today if
I left here and I raise my hand up and
I could pass all that stuff, and with my experience
whatever else, I'd be making six figures in today's law
enforcement at my with my experience level that most agencies
around here, I would start out making close to six figures.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
I got. I got a phone call earlier asking about
some of the off duty right, and it's through the roof.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yeah, there's there's you know, they don't they don't make
that much money. They don't make enough money. You know,
they don't print enough money for to get me to
go back. Yes, wouldn't do it, I mean, and it's
getting harder. It's not because I'm scared either, It's just
I wouldn't put up with it.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Now, all right, we'll be back just a minute.
Speaker 6 (39:37):
Some battles are worth fighting. They build character and teach
important lessons. Other times, the more we reassess, the longer
we stay stuck. When a simple change would change everything.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
And we're back. I was talking to our our friendly
am char distributor rep on the phone yesterday and all
he want to do is go fishing, a go turkey hunting.
But it was like tornadoes.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Yeah, they've been having I talked to him pretty much
every day and uh, he said, they have had the
worst weather there in Pennsylvania. It's where you live.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
She said, So I ain't going on. I'm not going
fishing because I'm not going to get out on the
water with the lightning rod in my hand. But I'm
going turkey hunting.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Yeah, he had, he he was. He was lamenting about
not being able to get on the water to me.
So how about you, Paul, You've been on the water.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
Yes, it was out there this morning. Yeah, and uh
what I heard I heard the uh what's your name?
Speaker 3 (41:29):
That's Lily trying to get out there and go to
harass customers.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
I tell you, boy, the bike was slucked the bass bit.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
It was slow this morning. It was very foggy this morning.
It seems like they were it was just slow.
Speaker 5 (41:43):
But man, I tell you, actually finally starting to see
some brims starting to come up on the bed. Yeah,
and I haven't really seen it until this last couple
of days. But their bram are starting to buss that.
I like to see that because now the bass will
start pushing back in. But they've had the water up
and down made the bite a little bit slow.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
But seeing how it is may it won't be long.
Force some may flies I had.
Speaker 4 (42:05):
Here and yes, that's right.
Speaker 5 (42:06):
Haven't seen him an he may flies yet. I think
that's any day now it's going to be happening.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
I'll ask you a question. I went and and I
went bass fishing Wednesday, Wednesday evening after supper, right around
the corner of the house, and we were throwing frogs
on lily pads because I was seeing some some movement
out there. I had I had two strikes at my
frog and it was probably ten seconds after I had
(42:31):
moved the frog. I had pulled the frog through the
through the paths and almost got the bait back to
the boat. And then all of a sudden, you see
something blow up on the blow up on where it came,
where it had been, where the bait had been. They
were so far behind it, and it was it was
late in the afternoon, sunsetting, you know, low light or whatever.
And I just it does do you think like top
(42:52):
water frog bait fishing works better when you've got a
bright light source, when you when it's brighter at times?
Speaker 5 (42:58):
At times for sure, definitely.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
I mean they're laying there underneath those pads and the shadows,
and they're looking up through a through a crack in
the you know where the water is in between the pads,
and they're laying there looking at that silhouette come come
moving by. So I would think you would have to
have a significant enough light source above the bait that
bait to show up.
Speaker 4 (43:17):
In the early morning, late the evening.
Speaker 5 (43:19):
I like to kind of fish the outside edge kind
of so they can key on a little bit better.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Well, there ain't no outside edges, and like ammonia, it's
already yeah for the most parts that for the boat
runs and I but we were seeing a lot of
fish moving a man. We threw everything I took with
us that afternoon. I couldn't, didn't didn't get a true
bite on anything, hit it.
Speaker 4 (43:37):
And sucked it in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll have that
right now.
Speaker 5 (43:40):
I think as we as we go into the summer,
that bite is going to get you know, there's times
you can throw in them as the bait's hitting.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
Oh yeah, they're coming out to water and get already.
Speaker 4 (43:50):
You know that's coming.
Speaker 3 (43:51):
That's so I told her, I said, I just want
you to get one. She's never caught a bass on
a frog on the top water bait. And I said,
if I could just do any thing and get like
a five or six pound bass and watch that thing
come out of the water three feet away from that
frog and land on top of it and just explode,
I said that you would be so hooked on bass
fishing that you just couldn't.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
You know. That's right.
Speaker 5 (44:12):
And that's the funnest bite when that when they're doing that,
and oh man, I remember throwing a heading zero spook,
remember those working along and they'll just jump completely out
of the water and like pause up in there and.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Then come back down and eat it.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
So like Michael Jordan just paws in their and didn't
get it.
Speaker 4 (44:32):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
Yeah, she grew up saltwater fishing, so she's she's the
top water top water fishing. It's not something she did
a lot of. She grew up fishing a lot, but
it was all you know and stuff.
Speaker 4 (44:42):
I mean, it would tell me that top water bike.
Speaker 5 (44:44):
When they're doing that, it's kind of like you know
people's they try to crack one time and they're done.
It kind of meshes you up.
Speaker 4 (44:50):
You're just you're hooked after that.
Speaker 5 (44:53):
So a lot matter than livescow watch it throwing out
there and watching the fish and making it. But that's
what this last tournament up there on on Someone was
one the lot of the I think the two out
of the top ten were all caught.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
It had a was a Major League Fishing Tournaments tournament.
I watched watch some of the TV coverage on it.
Speaker 5 (45:09):
Yeah yeah, but like I said, the bremerre starting to
bed to show those may flies. That's gonna be happening
any day, any day. I had a customer from a
call actually a longtime listener of the show from Destin
when it was asking questions about the conversation we was
having about rods and reels, and got to talk with
him what a really really nice guy. Let's show for
a long time and it was the answers questions. He
(45:31):
was going to get a couple more road really.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Fred I found I found something the other day. Jim
over here next door was working on this guy.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
And I forgot to bring my rods. I was good.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
Yeah, well Jim was. Jim was repairing a reel for
a gentleman who found the reel in the bottom of
the lake somewhere. I don't know what body of order
he was on. It was a Shimano and I'm not
gonna remember. I'm not gonna remember there the model number,
but it's it's about a five hundred.
Speaker 4 (45:56):
Dollars retail Its noting a tennium is it?
Speaker 3 (45:58):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (45:59):
Yeah? Maybe?
Speaker 3 (46:00):
Uh it had. It actually has a It actually has
a magnetic brake system that has a computer chip and
the fool spinning creates electricity to run this thing. To
basically make an open faced bait casting reel that you
essentially cannot backlash. And Jim said, you could actually tie
(46:23):
on a little lightweight bait and throw it with the
wind and take your thumb or throw it in and
then turn around throw the same bait into the wind
and never have to make adjustments to your reel or whatever.
But it's it is this basically computer computerized bass fishing reel.
And I was I was sitting there watching. I don't
(46:44):
I don't, to be honest with I don't think it's
sitting at the bottom of the lake. Did it no
good either? Because the module, the breaking module on that
reel is replacement cost is like two hundred bucks just
for the module or the reel. The reels like five
hundred bucks. It's like a five hundred dollar bait cast.
I'm thinking to myself, you know, my granddaddy, that would
(47:05):
save enough change to buy a twenty five dollars Ambassador
five thousand sea and I still have those same reels
that still work. Would rolla He has got to be
turning over it. He's got to be up there in
heaven somewhere pounding his head against what's wrong with these people.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
Well that just goes to show that if you spend
enough money, even I can fish.
Speaker 3 (47:31):
We might. We got to get you one of them
reels you just got. Okay, tell me, Fred, you done
bought a vanstall.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
Not even buy a v install. But I know what
he's talking about.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
Okay, Yeah, I mean you know, it's just ordered off
a sky magazine on a flight somewhere, a fishing ride.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
You didn't get off a team of you.
Speaker 2 (47:52):
So, speaking speaking of fishing, have you seen what the
governor has done for us?
Speaker 3 (47:59):
Gave us a whole much more snapper snapper fish one
hundred and something six fishing days snapper.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
Yeah, and has said that the fifth weather screws us up,
he's gonna.
Speaker 3 (48:11):
Add to it, add to it. I wonder if he,
I wonder if he fished, he must fish.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
I think he does.
Speaker 3 (48:15):
Well, he's just real mad at the federal biologist here that.
Speaker 2 (48:19):
We're uh, yeah, there's a snapper shortage.
Speaker 3 (48:21):
Shortage of snappers. When you go out there to try
to grouper fish on the two days a year, they
give you a group of fish and you can't get
a bait to the bottom because the snapper snapper won't
let it get there.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
Look, if I can catch a snapper, there is no
snapper shortage. I can tell you that. Speaking of that,
Southern Seafood's main commercial boat went out last week and
Sunday left it four in the morning, got back to
the dock by noon. Uh sixteen hundred pounds.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
Wow, love snapper man. Uh so if you are looking
for snapper this weekend, they got something Southern seafood.
Speaker 3 (48:57):
Wow, that's a polotic h you going? When am I
gonna get invited to go on one of these? Uh?
Plist them in trips.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
As a matter of fact, I talked to him about
that last week and said, I need to take j
D one of these. Charlie don't want to go. I
want to go, but I need to take jad. He said, yeah, yeah,
we're getting mad. I think he had six guys on
the boat and he said they chummed them up to
the to the ten feeders. They caught them all spinning
reel one hundred and fifty feet of water and it
(49:25):
got to be like a.
Speaker 4 (49:26):
Lamb from that far. I can have you ever?
Speaker 3 (49:30):
Have you ever, Paul? Have you ever been offshore fishing?
Speaker 4 (49:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (49:34):
Three times and I got sick at each time. And
I ain't never going back.
Speaker 3 (49:38):
So Charlie can hold hands on the dock while the harvest.
Speaker 1 (49:43):
JD can go. He can come back and tell the
story you and I will pretend to care.
Speaker 3 (49:48):
There is nothing more awesome than watching, uh you know
what a chum churn? You ever seen a chum.
Speaker 4 (49:54):
Churn, I would be churning.
Speaker 3 (49:57):
You ever seen fred, Have you ever seen a chum
turn one of them?
Speaker 2 (50:00):
The ones were you fill it up, just throw it
overside the bakelet.
Speaker 3 (50:02):
It No, no, no, no. This is a giant piece
of PBC pipe with a bunch of holes and slots
and stuff cut in it, and it's got a big
aluminum rod that goes down through the middle of it
with razor blades on it. Oh okay, And you stick
this thing over and it fills up with water, which
weighs it down, and you got a big hook in
and it's got razorblades. It's like one of those vegetable
(50:23):
choppers that you almost got that you screw the lid
on and hit the top on, same thing, except you
feel it full of cigar menos or l wise whatever
you have. And you hang it over the side of
the boat and you sit there and chunk chunk, chunk chunk,
and it makes the craziest rackets you've ever heard. But
it sounds like something chewing up fish.
Speaker 4 (50:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:40):
And you get over some of these artificial reefs or
some of these places offshore Panama City or whatever, where
you've got some hopper cars in the water or whatever,
and you stick that thing over the side and you
go to working that thing up and down like a
butter churn, and it starts chopping that stuff and the
whole and you're looking into a blue abyss where you
can't see any bottom. And then all of a sudden,
the bottoms start moving and getting darker. And then as
(51:01):
they come up to where the light starts turning those
red snapper red that that big cloud, that dark cloud
turns into a bright red cloud. And then you're sitting
there just.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
But if you'll take if you'll take me to off
a house before we go out on a boat, I
can do.
Speaker 3 (51:18):
Just as good me too. If I get you to
eat l wise, then we'd be in business.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
We'll be back next week. We'll see you all next time.
