Pull up a chair and settle in for a Christmas-flavored episode of the Talon Outdoors Show, where the laughs come easy and the stories wander like a country road. The crew swaps holiday greetings, hands out Walmart-sourced gifts, debates tomato jam versus jelly, and somehow ends up deep in mullet lore, barnyard turkey drama, and questionable fashion choices. It’s part outdoors, part small-town storytelling, and all good-natured ribbing—exactly the kind of conversation you’d hear around a shop heater or tailgate this time of year.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
For Mariana, put a picture of you on it well
on earth, a mountain dew snuggy, A mountain dew snuggy.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
That's when he gets all jacked up on his mountain

his wife and maybe have something good on.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I see him wearing that going down Lake Seminoles on
crafty fishing when there's thirty degrees in the morning. To
be driving the boat all up in the snuggie.
Speaker 3 (04:18):

Truffle, sir.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I had to get a ride from j D earlier
day to drop off a vehiclet a shop, and when

So now, trolie right, you got you?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I got to back him up behind him.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, yeah, I'll leave crumb.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I'm in a moral I'm in the kind of a
moral dilemma with it because I really need to put
seat covers on it because I'm not exactly the cleanest
person on the planet and living nice, very much an
outdoor lifestyle and all that stuff. But I hate to
cover them up.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Well, I don't know that it would. I'm not putting
any on my I'm just gonna I'm gonna run with
it for the best. Well, I put seat covers on
my last one.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I've had seat cover the same set of seat covers
on my last too. If anybody needs to set a
really nice cordua of seat covers for it'll fit up
to whatever. Twenty twenty two f two fifty four door.
I got to set the seat covers for you.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I got you the farmyard bingo, thinking that maybe you
and that turkey over christmasy.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
That turkey has decided that it wants to. So we
got seventeen turkeys run around the yard, and then we
had the turkey and all the other turkey's mama that
that couple, our first pair that stayed in with the chickens.
Well here recently we found out was wondering why one
of those turkeys was being very dominant outside the pen
and making a racket. Uh, Jacob has decided he wants
(06:16):
to live outside to pin with the other turkeys now
because they're starting to lay eggs and anyway, he's he's
decided he's going to run with the whole crowd, dominate
the whole turkey whatever that is. What's a bunch of turkeys.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Called a bunch of turkeys?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
It's a flock or whatever. Well, he's ruling. He's ruling
the barnyard from outside defense where he has been protected.
And apparently the hot shot doesn't really affect him much
because I popped him and he'll just stay, but he
won't keep his distance. He's coming up challenging me in
the yard.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Now, a challenge bo.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Now, a group of turkeys is called a rafter rafter rafter,
the rafter of turkeys, I'm gonna be confused with a
sounder of hogs.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Well, they they had their roost up in the rafters
or whatever there is around there. I'll build to remember
that way now.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Also, I also consider Grant when when I was walking
around Walmart in the middle of the night thinking about him,
and I was thinking, you know what could help Grant, Like,
he's got these.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
He's like going between you guys, I'm producing.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Hold on, he's uh, you know, he's got these, this
new kid and his wife, and I'm sure she's not
tired at all. I thought, you know what could make
her happy, happier than having it a mini drone flying
around the house.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
You can fly that, check on the kid, you can
fly that, go in there and check on the kids.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
And I'm gonna tell you from experience, the wives of
small children who get no sleep, they love it when
you fly many drones around the house at Christmas time,
and it is it's just so much fun to watch
the smile on their face because it never upsets them.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
That's gonna be well used.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Go ahead, you go ahead, go check on the baby,
all right.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I like that even have some fun with that. Of course,
I got Charlie's gift bag. I thought that was appropriate under.
Speaker 1 (08:08):

short guy. Yeah, that's where that came.

so we cannot have to record on Christmas or day
after Christmas. Just we'll talk with the next show.
Speaker 2 (17:10):

I don't want to spoil nothing because it's right now.

know nothing about it. That is something good and it
is a rare day for us to pull one over

presented Christmas morning? And uh to a degree, if you
got any ideas.
Speaker 2 (17:39):

present it, like like you know, have somebody jump.

Out of a box or none of that that you.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Want to hire me to do that hard pass?
Speaker 2 (17:52):

Speaker 4 (17:59):
I jumped out of a box on it's wearing a
wearing speed.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Out No, I know that definitely not, although it would
be kind of appropriate for the gift.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Yeah, I did it. Uh, not only that. Not only
did I do that, I did it in Gadsden County.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
And they still let you come back. Of course, every
time I talk to you, when you're in Gaston County,
you're either here where you're safe, or you're in court.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
And so I'm now starting to wonder if it says
an attorney, or you're having to show up to defend
something you did a long time ago.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Well, this could be a little bit of both. I mean,
been pulled over a few times in Gaston County. But yeah,
uh yeah. It was a woman's fiftieth birthday. She was
a big fan of the band.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Okay, and you know.

in the band, and.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
This George cut off jeans and George.

she just thought.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
My feet, the little tiny feet.
Speaker 4 (19:13):

It's true story.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Do you doubt anything he tells you? Because that's Fred
in a nutshell. I can tell you there's things for
Fred's never gonna get to do because of the things thing.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
That mister Fred would go to the bottom place. I
passed by it before. I've never been there before. We
used to play a barbecue there, good j D. Yeah,
I never.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
But where is.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
That at on nine? You're right there on the west
side of quince Hyll on nine. The bottom hill is
at the bottom of the hills. Used to be uh.
I think it was Buster Lee's liquor store at one time.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
It was that lick story to back. It's called Perry's.
I think.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I remember per Yeah, that was a different one that
was on the Warner block of Combs.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, that's when you say Perry's and alcohol, I'm thinking
about it. I'm thinking and tall as back in the day,
and there's I've made some arrests right there.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Lord, I could tell some stories.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
So you didn't want to slow down there for long.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I could tell some stories about that.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
We had a big old biker man once we were
playing there at by on Peris.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah, for those of y'all don't don't know Fred Fred's
and a band.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
And we're playing up there one night and I guess
we got on a Charlie Daniel song or this big
old biker guy hopped up on the stage with a
set of spoons, went to play, went to play in
the spoons, and none of us told him to get
off the stage. What's look at that guy? He's like
six foot ten and weighed about four hundred pounds all muscle.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Was he missing a couple of fingers on.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
What happened in? I mean he was You want to
talk about a lit giant.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I used to know a fellow anyway as you was
just another that's a whole nother story.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, Ah, we'll be back in just a minute.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Is your back, killing you from sitting at an uncomfortable
disc 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
two five two.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
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, still 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 Mowers at eighteen eighty five South
in Roe Street, one mile south of the Capitol. Visit
the website southsidemwor dot com and we're back. If I'm
gonna tell story, I didn't want to really go with
(23:42):
the Tallahassee audience because I might offend somebody else. But
you know, we're all conservatives in here, right, most people
listening to show except for Fred Nothing.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
I met his kids.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I met his kids. This kid, he's very coy.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
He's a little right wing, but he's not very conservative
in his lifestyle. But so anyway, I was, I was
at an event not long ago, and and uh, you
put me in a room for eight hours and I'm
gonna say something that is gonna bother somebody in the room.
I mean, I just can't. I mean, y'all know me,
listened to the show. I'm gonna tell a story every
once in a while, and I try to keep things
(24:17):
fairly politically neutral and neutral across the board. And I
told I cracked a joke. Apparently it offended somebody, and
it got me canceled from an event that I was
gonna do for free and volunteer for some people to
teach him about personal safety. And I got canceled. And
I'm not even offended by it because it doesn't bother
(24:38):
me and it but but it was sort of an
interesting story because you always see this on Facebook where
you get canceled this that and the other thing, and
the two things that I was told got me was
I mentioned being Republican and a gunnut. But I like
to spread the knowledge that I have and the skill
set that I have across all facets of our community,
no matter what your political leanings are. But I think
(24:59):
I identified as a Republican and that sort of that
was one.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Thing that's most likely weoo got your cancer.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And then the other thing was that I had cracked
an off colored joke. And the joke it came up,
we're talking about ID numbers law enforcement stuff, and I said,
you know, like Jackson County, my ID number for the
Sheriff's office is eighty six. Now I'm a reserve member
of the agency, so my number is real high, which
means I'm real low on the totem pole. And eighty
(25:25):
six is a former waiter in college. And when you
eighty six something that you would limit it, it's gone.
And so having an ID number in law enforcement, which
is critical, you know, personal safety issues, my ID numbers
eighty six. I don't really like that ID number because
you eighty six something, you make it go away.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
And I was laughing at me. I said, well, it
bes to one I had when I was a lieutenancy.
When I was a sergeant on the road, one of
my lieutenant's ID number and it changed at the Sheriff's
office every year. And my lieutenant was a female mayor,
Lee Smith, and her ID number one year was sixty nine.
And so you know the jokes and you know which
she was a good she was a good, good sense
(26:04):
of humor, fun to mess around with. And she she
said yeah, and she took it for a year and
then they changed it and went on and she said,
you know, said something to talking about karma or something. Thenay.
So then I became a lieutenant several years later and
I'm like seventy three or something. Then the ID numbers changed.
Guess which number I got? Sixty nine. Well, that was
(26:25):
a big deal. I had to live it. It says, yeah,
I see Karma come back around and get you. And
I'm like, eh, whatever, I got twelve months of this
and I'll be gone, well about eleven months in. Guess
what they did. They made permanent ID numbers. And so
that's the one I got stuck with from by the
rest of my career. And I'm sorry. I want to
get promoted just so I get a lower idea. I
(26:46):
told that joke and I told that story, and apparently
it offended somebody. And so and if that offends you
and you're listening to our show, you were listening to
the wrong show, because I'll just turn Fred loose for
about ten seconds.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
So, yeah, he was certainly.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
All I can say about that is blessed their darling.
Harton's stupid head. Sure, I'm sorry, that's just crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
So, and it was a culmination of a couple three
things to where it was just like, this is the
person we want to come to speak to our event.
And I've told you, fine gentlemen, who I love to
death is a good friend of mine that delivered the
news to me. And I'm like, you know what, I'm
not even offended, and I'm not changing for anybody, and
I'm not gonna change my team for anybody. And so
I teach his classes all over the place, and I
(27:27):
try to you know, most of these classes we teach
her an hour to ninety minutes long, and I can't
squeeze a whole lot of humor or stories into that.
But you put them in round for eight hours and
I'm gonna say something. You know, you listen and I
don't have any political aspirations anymore in anywhere where it
would matter, because all yeah I do is go back
and listen to all these shows, and Charlie wouldn't get
(27:49):
elected to nothing, maybe like county commissioner in Jackson County
or something. I probably pull that off one day. I
might do that. I might do that one day. I'm thinking,
I'm not actually thinking about that one day, just to
just just call and while you're running, just because you
know we need.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
I've doomed any aspirations. I've got to being judge. I'll
tell you that. Yep. I don't think i'd last very
long anyway. I'd say something inappropriate first day on.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
The bench there, like some sort of judicial qualifications committee
or something.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Get you there. They'd be ten complaints by then, the
first day on the.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Bench, which you show up with some costume on.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
The first day the Seersucker Road, something like that, like
a pimp.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah, we'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
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 (28:44):
Jeff Wildon runs a great store that carries men's, women's,
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 2 (28:54):
If you see us, we're probably wearing a car heart
shirt and bordered by Jeff and shoes from there as well.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Look did at twenty eight twenty South Road Street just
north of the Fairgrounds. Tell them we said hello, Hey,
it's Charlie and j D from Tallan. Do you have
residential or commercial roofing needs? What about a bathroom or
kitchen remodel? How about commercial construction?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
If you do, call our good friend Travis Parkman at
Teespark Enterprises. They do roof replacements, roof repair and new construction.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Travis does commercial and residential work. Has come to my
rescue on more than one occasion, so I trust him
to get it right. Find him at t spark Construction
dot com or call him at eight five O seven
six six thirteen forty and we're back. I got a
(29:41):
call on the break from Don truck and audio center
over there in Marianna, I took. I took one of
my old security trucks in there. The transmission line blew
on the way home to Maryann the other night, and
I went from five gears to four gears to three
to two to one and rolled off the interstate and
the eased up into the Low's parking lot. And I'm like, well,
(30:03):
that was the end of that one. It's only got
three hundred and sixty nine thousand miles on it. There's
that number again. And so I had and so I
pulled it up there. I left it sit there all
week with a puddle undred and I finally took the
trailer over there and hauled it up there at dawns
And it cost me two hundred bucks to replace the
hydro fluid line on it. Everything is good to go,
he called me, gave me the good news. I'm like,
thank you, ma'am. Marry Christmas to me. And I took
(30:25):
a train water pump on another one up to h
I think it's Brian's Auto Repair, Teewee's brother from Folla Ford. Yeah,
and uh, he put a water pump in that one
and it cost me about half what I thought it
was gonna cost. So that was good news. And we've
been doing business out there at Marianna Attire and Maryanne
as well. Got I thought I had to some I
(30:49):
drove around, so I got tires and wheels, put on
a new truck because I wanted I wanted different. I
wanted something that looked good. It's a two inch level kit.
It's not left. It's a two inch left and make it.
You know you got a red neck of bye that
thing and h and so is it in the parking lot?
So no, not today because I had to drive something
else because my wife's electric vehicle quit quit doing the
(31:11):
equit electric and so I don't know. I don't understand
that stuff anyway, So I I got, I got new.
I got. I have a set of brand new twenty
twenty six f three point fifty aluminum wheels, center caps,
king rinks, all sitting here with tires in the original
TPS units sitting over here for sale if anybody's interested.
And we sold Jad's tires off of HISS because he
(31:33):
got but these are for sale. But I left the
original tire pressure sensor unit's in it, and I said,
let me get the aftermarket wants to put in the
truck so that when I sell the tires and wheels,
well they ain't work. And they worked. When I left
the tire dealership, I'm driving down the road and I
don't I see all six tires, and said duly, So
I see all the tire pressures in there. I'm like,
(31:54):
that's good. Got down the road and then some of
them went on. Some of them went off, and I'm like,
something right. I called Ford and they said, yeah, those
things typically they're bad about not working sometimes. And I said, well, dad,
gum it, that's a lot of work doing all that.
So drove around. I came over here to Tyllahassea down,
made a loop all all the way down to Franklin County.
I did some threat assessments on the buildings, came up
here and took the tires and wheels out of the
back of the truck, left them over here in the
(32:15):
classroomself and I left and none of the TPS units
are working anymore. They just ain't working, not working, And
I'm like, well, this is a big deal. So went
to Ford. They said, well we can say to Ford.
Once I went back to Marriona Tire, I said, can
you try to reprogramming these things one more time for me?
And they did and they worked fine. Well, Apparently driving
(32:37):
around with all of the original wheels and the TPS
sending us in the back of the truck was reading
the wrong ones, and so I'm thinking, man, this is
you know, I got to confuse the truck.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
So it took a dealership, a tire company, and my
stupid self to figure this thing out and then just
here happenstance. But so what so if you ever do
that lesson.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Learned, separate your tires, don't just.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Go on and go on. And it's like, you know,
separating kids in a fight or something. You got you
can't have them in the same room and get the
whole story. You got to separate them anyhow. But up
my shout, I was giving a shout out everybody that
helped me with this endeavor and getting in my regniqafied
version of my truck put together because only thing I
(33:28):
got I hooked a goose neck to it, and I
went and picked up the broken truck with no transmission
line in it, and I felt like somebody driving through
downtown Marianna with this big duley and Gooshenck trailer and
a broke world out old three and sixty thousand mile camouflage. Nie,
some pickup truck on the back leaking fluid halfway through town?
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Is that a cultural experience this past weekend?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
You did?
Speaker 4 (33:53):
I did?
Speaker 1 (33:54):
You found somebody with some culture hung out?
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Oh there was culture up there. Let me tell you.
Uh went up to New York.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
City, New York City, New York City.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
That's where they make that saucer and uh interesting, Uh
just just different.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Oh yeah, I live there this summer. I told you
all all about that. You didn't have the same experience
I did because it was cold weather and all the.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Cold and it's snow. Ye got about three four inches
of snow. Central Park was that was really strange because
you're in this big city, I mean.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
The huge built of the woods out there.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Yeah, and then you walk into Central Park and you're like,
what happened to the city And it's like being you know,
in the woods.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
And we spent a better part of the day in
Central Park.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Is like animals and.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Stuff riding horses around and stuff riding horses. I didn't
say you did, I said they they got all that
kind of well.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
I'll tell you one of the things that I saw
there was one of the most aggravating things I've ever seen.
They got these rickshaw guys riding around and rickshaw, you know, they.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Got with two seats of the with a good little
wagon thing in the back.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
And so they're riding around everywhere in the city and
it's cold outside, and they're all wearing Santa suits, and
all the rickshaw guys wearing Santa suits. And they got
these big Merry Christmas neon sign on the back of
this rickshaw he probably, and they're riding around with these things.
(35:25):
And they got these sound systems in there that rivaled
the sound system in JD's truck, and they got it.
They've got this thing blasted up the level ten out
of ten, and they are every one of them are
playing that Mariah Carey All I Want for Christmas song
over and over and over. And I'm thinking, now I
(35:49):
know why they banned guns in this place, because I
want to shoot that guy. You know, that was just
so obnoxious watching them. The people were very nice for
the most part. You know, service in restaurants. A pizza
place never had pizza that good, really good pizza. I
went to a couple of restaurants there out the food.
(36:12):
Can't can't, can't diss the food.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
I met a fox producer and do you ever smell weed?
Speaker 4 (36:19):
I did, and but you're not smelling. You smell the
vape weed, which is even worse.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
And and homeless poop.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Did not smell. It's too cold.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
It was too cold. It's all frozen.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Yeah, careful, yeah, you don't touch the snow. You know,
the problem is that that when it snowed, apparently that
doesn't happen all the time there. I thought it did
because it's up north it snows all the time. But
they were saying that, no, we don't get this amount
of snow and it doesn't accumulate like this because you know,
we got the sidewalks and it's all a lot of
(36:51):
concrete around there. And but it did, and there were
a lot of people busting there. You know what's on
the sidewalk.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
That's all the frozen pea.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
They were, yeah, and I mean.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
The wind gets cold between those buildings.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
Wind started whipping through there, and I had, you know,
I got me an overcoat take up there, and I'm
glad I did. And it was I brought my cowboy hat.
I don't know why. I'm glad. I did, you know,
made out of heaver kicked my habit warm. But I
didn't have anything to wear at night, and it got
like ten degrees and that wind whipping through there, and
(37:26):
my eyes were water and I had a scarf wrapped.
I looked like a muzzlim going down the street. It
fit right in. Yeah. And you get into that Times
Square at night and it is cold, cold, cold, and
there are people everywhere, and you hold on to your
wallet and you whatever you had with and my wife
got lost in Time Square and uh now she had
(37:47):
a fur coat on, so she was she was fine.
They didn't she didn't get me a fur coat, and uh.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Thank goodness, I would have worn it.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
I don't tell you. But she had her purse, you know,
whether her and so these two kind of thug looking
guys are coming up by behind her, you know, in
the Times Square area, and she she got her purse
and kind of moved it over to the front, you know,
kind of garden it. She's telling me about this, you
know this after it took me about thirty minutes fin
her and one of them looked over was said, uh,
(38:14):
miss we don't take purses anymore. We take the id
out of them. So like in other words, he's he
gets the electric has some sort of electric. They steal
your identity. Why are you're walking out with your purse?
She's like, well, I'm going I didn't have any cards
with me, because I mean she didn't. She had some
lipstick or something there. And but that's what's going on.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Yeah, why they have scanners. They can that's why they
actually make wallets.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Yeah, I've seen that now I know why.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
That's why. So they don't skim your card electronically from
a distance.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
Now, the shoes we saw Moulin Rouge and that was
worth the price of admission. The music, just the talent,
it must the competition to get into one of those
shows as an actor or singer must be just through
the roof because I mean, I've never seen something so professional.
Saw the rockets. It just amazing the that oh kind
(39:11):
of snow came out of the roof. They shot fireworks
out of some cartoon. The next thing you know, you
get hit with ribbons and all that kind of stuff
and saying a flying around and sleigh rockets are amazing.
Wat's air precision and just you know, you look at
them and go how do they do this? Completely amazing shows.
Speaker 6 (39:36):

important lessons. Other times, the more we resist, the longer
we stay stuck. When a simple change would change everything.

and I just thought I was somebody. You know, I've
been having to fish with my dad or my granddaddy'
or somebody's and they bought me a bake ast for Christmas.
Like I said, still have.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
It out a die.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
They still make those, Yes, they still make dolls, one
of the major brands today. It's like very good, right,
but reels?
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Do you have a die? A millionaire bait caster?
Speaker 4 (42:14):
No, this was a spinning reel. Okay, Yeah, I've never
seen a bait caster until I've gone visited a friend
in Georgia and didn't really know what it was. I mean,
I thought that's what you fish for saltwater stuff with. Yeah, yeah,
but you don't cast those, that's right, you drop them.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
Thinking about you know, you know right now going into
you know, Christmas, like you know, there's people out there
that their kids are you know, so many kids get
involved in fishing now and and you and the parents
don't haven't really done it much, so they don't really know.
But you know, I was thinking, if you know the
lures and different different baits, they're they're great.
Speaker 4 (42:53):
Yeah, it's talking stuff.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
They really are, you know, and if anybody out there
that's maybe looking for some ideas I.
Speaker 4 (42:59):
Want to have.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Grant's going to give us how we're doing that thing
for the for the winter fishing trip. But I'm going
to offer to just reach out to me on Instagram
if you want to get some ideas, I'll be glad
to share that this week, you know, if you got
any ideas, maybe not, don't know what to get. You
know what I mean the kid saltwater or fresh water.
Speaker 4 (43:17):
Well, you know that when you when you come back
from up north and you you you're land back in
Florida and you and it's like you can actually walk
around outside uh.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Comfortably, Yeah, for the most part.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
And then you realize you have fishing. It's a year
round thing here.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
Uh, it's a year round thing up there in some
places too. They just they just sitting on the bucket
out there on the ice. The whole drill drill a
hole in the the guys that we the guys that
we uh Junior, that's one of the guides that for
the place where we go uh peasant hunting. He's got
an ice ice fishing house and rig and all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (43:52):
And fis lake and drill a hole.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
They drag it. They drag the drag or push the
little hut out there that ain't got a floor in it,
and they park it wherever they want to park it,
and drill a hole through the ice, knock a hole
through the ice, and they use fish finders drop you know,
drop transducers down in the water. And yeah, you think
potentially park the house on top of some structure where
you've got where you got fish hanging out, and sit
(44:17):
there and.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
A little heater in there.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
Fish wouldn't think we got to do that?
Speaker 3 (44:21):
Could you imagine?
Speaker 1 (44:22):
They do?
Speaker 4 (44:22):
I don't. I just don't get You just sit there.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Like about it. You know, you just catch one and
you just throw them over on the ice.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
He'll be our fine.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Yeah, he't got to use a stringer.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
You just throw the Yeah, you're keeping cool for me.
You got to worry about it.
Speaker 3 (44:36):
He got worried about hm freezing right now, I mean spoiling.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
It seems to me if you put a heater in
one of those things that it melt the ice like this, Nah,
I guess it goes out of side.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
It's thick. That ice is thick.
Speaker 4 (44:50):
How thick you think it is.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
I don't know, probably six or eight inches. I would
think six or eight inches thick, you know, walking around
on ice.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
Yeah, that'd be kind of nervous.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
I' walked around and gonna say, you ever been ice skating?
Speaker 4 (45:02):
Yeah? I had. I did long with it.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
You underneath that one I went duck hunting a pond.
Oh no, I ain't never done that.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
I went, don't do that. In Tallahassee, I went.
Speaker 5 (45:11):
Well, I know, but I'm asking like, if you have
been up north during the winter time, if like ice
fishing freaked out? And I was like, well, have you ever
gone ice skating? Because it's kind of the same thing.
Speaker 4 (45:19):
Yeah, I guess. I mean they were ice skating up there,
and uh in that Rockefeller Plaza.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Which ain't as big as you think it is. That's
a little.
Speaker 4 (45:27):
Little tiny thing. Yeah, they don't want to like five
hundred dollars to go ice skating.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
Kidding, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Yea.
Speaker 4 (45:33):
The prices are insane in that point.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
I went duck hunting one time in Kansas and it
was right behind a big freeze and it's like fifteen
degrees and it'd been colder than that with an ice
storm and all that, and we're out there duck hunting
and hard to find water, you know, because everything was
frozen over the ponds. And I was out there walking
around on ice on ice. Now, the water underneath the
ice was probably only about five deep on me, so
(45:58):
you might would have drowned. But it was only about
five deep on me, but wearing my waiters and shotgun.
And we were trying to get to the open water
where the ducks were landing. And I walked thirty forty
yards across and that ice was only maybe two inches
too and a half three inches thick.
Speaker 3 (46:15):
Would you hear it crack on you?
Speaker 2 (46:16):
Yeah? Yeah, you could hear it crack and you. I
stepped through it a couple bad step stepped through it
a couple of times. But I but I had cat
tails and stuff growing around me, so I knew the
water wasn't It wasn't like a stepping up, you know,
ten foot of water. Uh. I wasn't doing something stupid.
I was just you know, but it doesn't take a
lot of ice if it's you know, if it's solid,
it doesn't take a whole lot of it to support you.
(46:36):
I support you.
Speaker 4 (46:37):
I still wouldn't trust that you see those movies with yeah,
all in ice.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Well you're looking through this clear eyes and you can
see the bottom right under the ice. So it's not
that's right.
Speaker 4 (46:47):
But it's cold.
Speaker 3 (46:49):
Yeah, right now the water too is cold. Fifty one.
Speaker 4 (46:51):
Oh that's what it is right now already that cold.
Speaker 3 (46:55):
And ain't really been that cold yet, you know what
I mean? Oh yeah, it has.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
It's been cold enough.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
I mean, I'm thinkinglast year when that six inches of
snow and I had to wear my dad birking stocks
and change shoes. I couldn't even go out to my
tackle room for four days.
Speaker 4 (47:07):
Now you've got a mountain dew snuggy. Yeah, but I
heard it for another six inches of snow.
Speaker 3 (47:14):
The fish of definitely are biting right now. The crappie
has been unbelievable. The hybrids, I'm starting to see them
get going. That that could get good here.
Speaker 4 (47:25):
Yeah, me and my my buddy from from way back when.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Yes, I'm gonna have y'all come up and we'll go
and if they're doing it, we'll catch them. If not,
we'll go do some crappy on Livescope.
Speaker 4 (47:35):
You mention the name on the radio, so I'll keep
it quiet.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
That's right. But I tell you what the it's right now.
Just the fishing has been really good, means the bass
has been good. The crappie fishing has been good. And
I pulled up to a spot yesterday with a buddy
over on the Chatty river side and I'm looking at
them on livescope j D. I'm like, oh, man, there's
(48:00):
a thousand crappy right here. We're fixing to catch them.
I ain't seen none. Grouped up all morning through out
there and started catching them. They're ten inch white bass.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Huh but that was fun. Oh yeah, man, light tackle.
Speaker 3 (48:12):
Woah on crappie. Yeah, a little small jig, you.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Know, there's a that's a fighting little face.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
There was a bunch of them too. I met there
was too good. I was telling the guy that was
with me, he took some home. Now he's going to
pick them up. Don't they have a little red lining.
But don't want to take that out like highbrids.
Speaker 4 (48:27):
You want to.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
Yeah, they've got a blood a little bit of their bloodline.
There's different ways to do it, but yeah, get that out.
Speaker 3 (48:32):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
They're the good little foliece. I love white bass fishing
in the o'clatney River right here between ninety and I
ten in this in late February early March when you
start getting some of the early spring rains and the
ditches will get full of rain water, and you go
out there and catch crawfish out of the ditches with
a net and a little bitty tiny, you know, inch
(48:54):
and a half long crawfish and go up there and
fish the sand bars along the river. Just go from
turn to turn fishing sand bars, and you can get
on those white bass and have a ball out there.
They're big ones though they're they're to two pounders. You know,
which is a.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
Big white white bass is a mix?
Speaker 2 (49:09):
White bass ain't a mix of nothing. Hybrid is a
mix between. The stripper is a hybrid? Is a hybrid
That white striper that's the white bass are their own species.
Strippers are their own, and strippers rock fish whatever they get.
They that's another fish that gets caught a lot of
different things over the country.
Speaker 4 (49:26):
Rock bass you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Like striped bass, strippers.

Strip so I call rock basses saltwater.
Speaker 2 (49:33):
Yeah, black sea bass, Yeah, that's what we call rock bass. Well,

call like in New York and they do fish for
stripers out there in the Hudson Bay big time.

There are some like normal looking.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
Charter boats that you can you can charter a boat
to stripe bass fish what we call strippers.

For Mariana, put a picture of you on it well
on earth, a mountain dew snuggy, A mountain dew snuggy.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
That's when he gets all jacked up on his mountain
dew and then yeah, I like crawling that thing with
his wife and maybe have something good on.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I see him wearing that going down Lake Seminoles on
crafty fishing when there's thirty degrees in the morning. To
be driving the boat all up in the snuggie.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Heats you wore and hands free.
Speaker 4 (04:20):

Speaker 1 (04:33):
So if y'all see, If y'all out on Lake Seminole
and you look over and you see a man with
a mountain dew snuggie on, that'd probably Paul.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Look at it.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, that's yours. You carry that around your new truck.
And then and then every time somebody puts a crumb
on that truffle old seat or whatever, you can vacuum up.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Truffle, sir.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I had to get a ride from j D earlier
day to drop off a vehiclet a shop, and when
I went to get in, I felt like I should
have taken a bath and got some clean clothes to
get in that thing. That truck's too nice to get it.
Just climb up in.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
So now, trolie right, you got you?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I got to back him up behind him.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, yeah, I'll leave crumb.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I'm in a moral I'm in the kind of a
moral dilemma with it because I really need to put
seat covers on it because I'm not exactly the cleanest
person on the planet and living nice, very much an
outdoor lifestyle and all that stuff. But I hate to
cover them up.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Well, I don't know that it would. I'm not putting
any on my I'm just gonna I'm gonna run with
it for the best. Well, I put seat covers on
my last one.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I've had seat cover the same set of seat covers
on my last too. If anybody needs to set a
really nice cordua of seat covers for it'll fit up
to whatever. Twenty twenty two f two fifty four door.
I got to set the seat covers for you.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I got you the farmyard bingo, thinking that maybe you
and that turkey over christmasy.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
That turkey has decided that it wants to. So we
got seventeen turkeys run around the yard, and then we
had the turkey and all the other turkey's mama that
that couple, our first pair that stayed in with the chickens.
Well here recently we found out was wondering why one
of those turkeys was being very dominant outside the pen
and making a racket. Uh, Jacob has decided he wants
(06:16):
to live outside to pin with the other turkeys now
because they're starting to lay eggs and anyway, he's he's
decided he's going to run with the whole crowd, dominate
the whole turkey whatever that is. What's a bunch of turkeys.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Called a bunch of turkeys?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
It's a flock or whatever. Well, he's ruling. He's ruling
the barnyard from outside defense where he has been protected.
And apparently the hot shot doesn't really affect him much
because I popped him and he'll just stay, but he
won't keep his distance. He's coming up challenging me in
the yard.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Now, a challenge bo.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Now, a group of turkeys is called a rafter rafter rafter,
the rafter of turkeys, I'm gonna be confused with a
sounder of hogs.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Well, they they had their roost up in the rafters
or whatever there is around there. I'll build to remember
that way now.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Also, I also consider Grant when when I was walking
around Walmart in the middle of the night thinking about him,
and I was thinking, you know what could help Grant, Like,
he's got these.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
He's like going between you guys, I'm producing.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Hold on, he's uh, you know, he's got these, this
new kid and his wife, and I'm sure she's not
tired at all. I thought, you know what could make
her happy, happier than having it a mini drone flying
around the house.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
You can fly that, check on the kid, you can
fly that, go in there and check on the kids.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
And I'm gonna tell you from experience, the wives of
small children who get no sleep, they love it when
you fly many drones around the house at Christmas time,
and it is it's just so much fun to watch
the smile on their face because it never upsets them.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
That's gonna be well used.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Go ahead, you go ahead, go check on the baby,
all right.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I like that even have some fun with that. Of course,
I got Charlie's gift bag. I thought that was appropriate under.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
This elfin Christmas, Mary Elfin Elfing Christmas.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Thank you to play on it. I'm kind of a
short guy. Yeah, that's where that came.

was just on the highway just now you saw ell No.
I saw the billboard from the Florida Department of Transportation.
I'm sure if you were coming from town you probably
saw it. It said only Rudolph should be lit and
it was a d u I Warrior. And so I
thought of lit Elf.

Yes, yeah, the lit Elf. So I us right up
there with John Morgan's fall all law. I don't know

how it ever turned out. But this kid had a
This is like a four year old with a just
an epic mullet. Yeah, and he was from Bristol, cheering

I guess we can talk about it.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Well, we're recording a second show here a little bit,
so we cannot have to record on Christmas or day
after Christmas. Just we'll talk with the next show.
Speaker 2 (17:10):

I don't want to spoil nothing because it's right now.
Me and Mama has got them surprised and they don't
know nothing about it. That is something good and it
is a rare day for us to pull one over

Speaker 4 (17:30):
So is this h is this gift going to be
presented Christmas morning? And uh to a degree, if you
got any ideas.
Speaker 2 (17:39):

If you got any ideas like how you're going to
present it, like like you know, have somebody jump.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Out of a box or none of that that you.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Want to hire me to do that hard pass?
Speaker 2 (17:52):

Speaker 4 (17:59):
I jumped out of a box on it's wearing a
wearing speed.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Out No, I know that definitely not, although it would
be kind of appropriate for the gift.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Yeah, I did it. Uh, not only that. Not only
did I do that, I did it in Gadsden County.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
And they still let you come back. Of course, every
time I talk to you, when you're in Gaston County,
you're either here where you're safe, or you're in court.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
And so I'm now starting to wonder if it says
an attorney, or you're having to show up to defend
something you did a long time ago.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Well, this could be a little bit of both. I mean,
been pulled over a few times in Gaston County. But yeah,
uh yeah. It was a woman's fiftieth birthday. She was
a big fan of the band.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Okay, and you know.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
In summertime, I wear flip flops even if I'm playing
in the band, and.

And her fiftieth birthday rolled around and.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Wanted something was wrong with her?

It's about five years ago.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Something's wrong with her?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
And you got on the break. You're going to tell
me who that is? Because I bet I know him,
being from Gaston County, I bet I know who that But.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I know that, I don't know why this is a
Christmas show and you're talking about Fred's feet and we
got to get back on.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
It all became it's all part of the elf thing, Charlie,
because you know, I mean, he's he ain't much bigger than.

in a nutshell. I can tell you there's things for
Fred's never gonna get to do because of the things thing.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
That mister Fred would go to the bottom place. I
passed by it before. I've never been there before. We
used to play a barbecue there, good j D. Yeah,
I never.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
But where is.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
That at on nine? You're right there on the west
side of quince Hyll on nine. The bottom hill is
at the bottom of the hills. Used to be uh.
I think it was Buster Lee's liquor store at one time.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
It was that lick story to back. It's called Perry's.
I think.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I remember per Yeah, that was a different one that
was on the Warner block of Combs.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, that's when you say Perry's and alcohol, I'm thinking
about it. I'm thinking and tall as back in the day,
and there's I've made some arrests right there.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Lord, I could tell some stories.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
So you didn't want to slow down there for long.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I could tell some stories about that.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
We had a big old biker man once we were
playing there at by on Peris.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah, for those of y'all don't don't know Fred Fred's
and a band.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
And we're playing up there one night and I guess
we got on a Charlie Daniel song or this big
old biker guy hopped up on the stage with a
set of spoons, went to play, went to play in
the spoons, and none of us told him to get
off the stage. What's look at that guy? He's like
six foot ten and weighed about four hundred pounds all muscle.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Was he missing a couple of fingers on.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
What happened in? I mean he was You want to
talk about a lit giant.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I used to know a fellow anyway as you was
just another that's a whole nother story.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, Ah, we'll be back in just a minute.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Is your back, killing you from sitting at an uncomfortable
disc 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
two five two.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
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, still 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 Mowers at eighteen eighty five South
in Roe Street, one mile south of the Capitol. Visit
the website southsidemwor dot com and we're back. If I'm
gonna tell story, I didn't want to really go with
(23:42):
the Tallahassee audience because I might offend somebody else. But
you know, we're all conservatives in here, right, most people
listening to show except for Fred Nothing.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
I met his kids.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I met his kids. This kid, he's very coy.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
He's a little right wing, but he's not very conservative
in his lifestyle. But so anyway, I was, I was
at an event not long ago, and and uh, you
put me in a room for eight hours and I'm
gonna say something that is gonna bother somebody in the room.
I mean, I just can't. I mean, y'all know me,
listened to the show. I'm gonna tell a story every
once in a while, and I try to keep things
(24:17):
fairly politically neutral and neutral across the board. And I
told I cracked a joke. Apparently it offended somebody, and
it got me canceled from an event that I was
gonna do for free and volunteer for some people to
teach him about personal safety. And I got canceled. And
I'm not even offended by it because it doesn't bother
(24:38):
me and it but but it was sort of an
interesting story because you always see this on Facebook where
you get canceled this that and the other thing, and
the two things that I was told got me was
I mentioned being Republican and a gunnut. But I like
to spread the knowledge that I have and the skill
set that I have across all facets of our community,
no matter what your political leanings are. But I think
(24:59):
I identified as a Republican and that sort of that
was one.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Thing that's most likely weoo got your cancer.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And then the other thing was that I had cracked
an off colored joke. And the joke it came up,
we're talking about ID numbers law enforcement stuff, and I said,
you know, like Jackson County, my ID number for the
Sheriff's office is eighty six. Now I'm a reserve member
of the agency, so my number is real high, which
means I'm real low on the totem pole. And eighty
(25:25):
six is a former waiter in college. And when you
eighty six something that you would limit it, it's gone.
And so having an ID number in law enforcement, which
is critical, you know, personal safety issues, my ID numbers
eighty six. I don't really like that ID number because
you eighty six something, you make it go away.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
And I was laughing at me. I said, well, it
bes to one I had when I was a lieutenancy.
When I was a sergeant on the road, one of
my lieutenant's ID number and it changed at the Sheriff's
office every year. And my lieutenant was a female mayor,
Lee Smith, and her ID number one year was sixty nine.
And so you know the jokes and you know which
she was a good she was a good, good sense
(26:04):
of humor, fun to mess around with. And she she
said yeah, and she took it for a year and
then they changed it and went on and she said,
you know, said something to talking about karma or something. Thenay.
So then I became a lieutenant several years later and
I'm like seventy three or something. Then the ID numbers changed.
Guess which number I got? Sixty nine. Well, that was
(26:25):
a big deal. I had to live it. It says, yeah,
I see Karma come back around and get you. And
I'm like, eh, whatever, I got twelve months of this
and I'll be gone, well about eleven months in. Guess
what they did. They made permanent ID numbers. And so
that's the one I got stuck with from by the
rest of my career. And I'm sorry. I want to
get promoted just so I get a lower idea. I
(26:46):
told that joke and I told that story, and apparently
it offended somebody. And so and if that offends you
and you're listening to our show, you were listening to
the wrong show, because I'll just turn Fred loose for
about ten seconds.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
So, yeah, he was certainly.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
All I can say about that is blessed their darling.
Harton's stupid head. Sure, I'm sorry, that's just crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
So, and it was a culmination of a couple three
things to where it was just like, this is the
person we want to come to speak to our event.
And I've told you, fine gentlemen, who I love to
death is a good friend of mine that delivered the
news to me. And I'm like, you know what, I'm
not even offended, and I'm not changing for anybody, and
I'm not gonna change my team for anybody. And so
I teach his classes all over the place, and I
(27:27):
try to you know, most of these classes we teach
her an hour to ninety minutes long, and I can't
squeeze a whole lot of humor or stories into that.
But you put them in round for eight hours and
I'm gonna say something. You know, you listen and I
don't have any political aspirations anymore in anywhere where it
would matter, because all yeah I do is go back
and listen to all these shows, and Charlie wouldn't get
(27:49):
elected to nothing, maybe like county commissioner in Jackson County
or something. I probably pull that off one day. I
might do that. I might do that one day. I'm thinking,
I'm not actually thinking about that one day, just to
just just call and while you're running, just because you
know we need.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
I've doomed any aspirations. I've got to being judge. I'll
tell you that. Yep. I don't think i'd last very
long anyway. I'd say something inappropriate first day on.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
The bench there, like some sort of judicial qualifications committee
or something.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Get you there. They'd be ten complaints by then, the
first day on the.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Bench, which you show up with some costume on.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
The first day the Seersucker Road, something like that, like
a pimp.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah, we'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
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 (28:44):

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 2 (28:54):
If you see us, we're probably wearing a car heart
shirt and bordered by Jeff and shoes from there as well.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Look did at twenty eight twenty South Road Street just
north of the Fairgrounds. Tell them we said hello, Hey,
it's Charlie and j D from Tallan. Do you have
residential or commercial roofing needs? What about a bathroom or
kitchen remodel? How about commercial construction?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
If you do, call our good friend Travis Parkman at
Teespark Enterprises. They do roof replacements, roof repair and new construction.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Travis does commercial and residential work. Has come to my
rescue on more than one occasion, so I trust him
to get it right. Find him at t spark Construction
dot com or call him at eight five O seven
six six thirteen forty and we're back. I got a
(29:41):
call on the break from Don truck and audio center
over there in Marianna, I took. I took one of
my old security trucks in there. The transmission line blew
on the way home to Maryann the other night, and
I went from five gears to four gears to three
to two to one and rolled off the interstate and
the eased up into the Low's parking lot. And I'm like, well,
(30:03):
that was the end of that one. It's only got
three hundred and sixty nine thousand miles on it. There's
that number again. And so I had and so I
pulled it up there. I left it sit there all
week with a puddle undred and I finally took the
trailer over there and hauled it up there at dawns
And it cost me two hundred bucks to replace the
hydro fluid line on it. Everything is good to go,
he called me, gave me the good news. I'm like,
thank you, ma'am. Marry Christmas to me. And I took
(30:25):
a train water pump on another one up to h
I think it's Brian's Auto Repair, Teewee's brother from Folla Ford. Yeah,
and uh, he put a water pump in that one
and it cost me about half what I thought it
was gonna cost. So that was good news. And we've
been doing business out there at Marianna Attire and Maryanne
as well. Got I thought I had to some I
(30:49):
drove around, so I got tires and wheels, put on
a new truck because I wanted I wanted different. I
wanted something that looked good. It's a two inch level kit.
It's not left. It's a two inch left and make it.
You know you got a red neck of bye that
thing and h and so is it in the parking lot?
So no, not today because I had to drive something
else because my wife's electric vehicle quit quit doing the
(31:11):
equit electric and so I don't know. I don't understand
that stuff anyway, So I I got, I got new.
I got. I have a set of brand new twenty
twenty six f three point fifty aluminum wheels, center caps,
king rinks, all sitting here with tires in the original
TPS units sitting over here for sale if anybody's interested.
And we sold Jad's tires off of HISS because he
(31:33):
got but these are for sale. But I left the
original tire pressure sensor unit's in it, and I said,
let me get the aftermarket wants to put in the
truck so that when I sell the tires and wheels,
well they ain't work. And they worked. When I left
the tire dealership, I'm driving down the road and I
don't I see all six tires, and said duly, So
I see all the tire pressures in there. I'm like,
(31:54):
that's good. Got down the road and then some of
them went on. Some of them went off, and I'm like,
something right. I called Ford and they said, yeah, those
things typically they're bad about not working sometimes. And I said, well, dad,
gum it, that's a lot of work doing all that.
So drove around. I came over here to Tyllahassea down,
made a loop all all the way down to Franklin County.
I did some threat assessments on the buildings, came up
here and took the tires and wheels out of the
back of the truck, left them over here in the
(32:15):
classroomself and I left and none of the TPS units
are working anymore. They just ain't working, not working, And
I'm like, well, this is a big deal. So went
to Ford. They said, well we can say to Ford.
Once I went back to Marriona Tire, I said, can
you try to reprogramming these things one more time for me?
And they did and they worked fine. Well, Apparently driving
(32:37):
around with all of the original wheels and the TPS
sending us in the back of the truck was reading
the wrong ones, and so I'm thinking, man, this is
you know, I got to confuse the truck.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
So it took a dealership, a tire company, and my
stupid self to figure this thing out and then just
here happenstance. But so what so if you ever do
that lesson.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Learned, separate your tires, don't just.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Go on and go on. And it's like, you know,
separating kids in a fight or something. You got you
can't have them in the same room and get the
whole story. You got to separate them anyhow. But up
my shout, I was giving a shout out everybody that
helped me with this endeavor and getting in my regniqafied
version of my truck put together because only thing I
(33:28):
got I hooked a goose neck to it, and I
went and picked up the broken truck with no transmission
line in it, and I felt like somebody driving through
downtown Marianna with this big duley and Gooshenck trailer and
a broke world out old three and sixty thousand mile camouflage. Nie,
some pickup truck on the back leaking fluid halfway through town?
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Is that a cultural experience this past weekend?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
You did?
Speaker 4 (33:53):
I did?
Speaker 1 (33:54):
You found somebody with some culture hung out?
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Oh there was culture up there. Let me tell you.
Uh went up to New York.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
City, New York City, New York City.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
That's where they make that saucer and uh interesting, Uh
just just different.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Oh yeah, I live there this summer. I told you
all all about that. You didn't have the same experience
I did because it was cold weather and all the.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Cold and it's snow. Ye got about three four inches
of snow. Central Park was that was really strange because
you're in this big city, I mean.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
The huge built of the woods out there.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Yeah, and then you walk into Central Park and you're like,
what happened to the city And it's like being you know,
in the woods.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
And we spent a better part of the day in
Central Park.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Is like animals and.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Stuff riding horses around and stuff riding horses. I didn't
say you did, I said they they got all that
kind of well.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
I'll tell you one of the things that I saw
there was one of the most aggravating things I've ever seen.
They got these rickshaw guys riding around and rickshaw, you know, they.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Got with two seats of the with a good little
wagon thing in the back.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
And so they're riding around everywhere in the city and
it's cold outside, and they're all wearing Santa suits, and
all the rickshaw guys wearing Santa suits. And they got
these big Merry Christmas neon sign on the back of
this rickshaw he probably, and they're riding around with these things.
(35:25):
And they got these sound systems in there that rivaled
the sound system in JD's truck, and they got it.
They've got this thing blasted up the level ten out
of ten, and they are every one of them are
playing that Mariah Carey All I Want for Christmas song
over and over and over. And I'm thinking, now I
(35:49):
know why they banned guns in this place, because I
want to shoot that guy. You know, that was just
so obnoxious watching them. The people were very nice for
the most part. You know, service in restaurants. A pizza
place never had pizza that good, really good pizza. I
went to a couple of restaurants there out the food.
(36:12):
Can't can't, can't diss the food.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
I met a fox producer and do you ever smell weed?
Speaker 4 (36:19):
I did, and but you're not smelling. You smell the
vape weed, which is even worse.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
And and homeless poop.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Did not smell. It's too cold.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
It was too cold. It's all frozen.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Yeah, careful, yeah, you don't touch the snow. You know,
the problem is that that when it snowed, apparently that
doesn't happen all the time there. I thought it did
because it's up north it snows all the time. But
they were saying that, no, we don't get this amount
of snow and it doesn't accumulate like this because you know,
we got the sidewalks and it's all a lot of
(36:51):
concrete around there. And but it did, and there were
a lot of people busting there. You know what's on
the sidewalk.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
That's all the frozen pea.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
They were, yeah, and I mean.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
The wind gets cold between those buildings.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
Wind started whipping through there, and I had, you know,
I got me an overcoat take up there, and I'm
glad I did. And it was I brought my cowboy hat.
I don't know why. I'm glad. I did, you know,
made out of heaver kicked my habit warm. But I
didn't have anything to wear at night, and it got
like ten degrees and that wind whipping through there, and
(37:26):
my eyes were water and I had a scarf wrapped.
I looked like a muzzlim going down the street. It
fit right in. Yeah. And you get into that Times
Square at night and it is cold, cold, cold, and
there are people everywhere, and you hold on to your
wallet and you whatever you had with and my wife
got lost in Time Square and uh now she had
(37:47):
a fur coat on, so she was she was fine.
They didn't she didn't get me a fur coat, and uh.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Thank goodness, I would have worn it.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
I don't tell you. But she had her purse, you know,
whether her and so these two kind of thug looking
guys are coming up by behind her, you know, in
the Times Square area, and she she got her purse
and kind of moved it over to the front, you know,
kind of garden it. She's telling me about this, you
know this after it took me about thirty minutes fin
her and one of them looked over was said, uh,
(38:14):
miss we don't take purses anymore. We take the id
out of them. So like in other words, he's he
gets the electric has some sort of electric. They steal
your identity. Why are you're walking out with your purse?
She's like, well, I'm going I didn't have any cards
with me, because I mean she didn't. She had some
lipstick or something there. And but that's what's going on.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Yeah, why they have scanners. They can that's why they
actually make wallets.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Yeah, I've seen that now I know why.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
That's why. So they don't skim your card electronically from
a distance.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
Now, the shoes we saw Moulin Rouge and that was
worth the price of admission. The music, just the talent,
it must the competition to get into one of those
shows as an actor or singer must be just through
the roof because I mean, I've never seen something so professional.
Saw the rockets. It just amazing the that oh kind
(39:11):
of snow came out of the roof. They shot fireworks
out of some cartoon. The next thing you know, you
get hit with ribbons and all that kind of stuff
and saying a flying around and sleigh rockets are amazing.
Wat's air precision and just you know, you look at
them and go how do they do this? Completely amazing shows.
Speaker 6 (39:36):

important lessons. Other times, the more we resist, the longer
we stay stuck. When a simple change would change everything.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
It by sign play ball, yes, sir Brown Christmas time
when it was cold like this in the holidays. How
does your your charter fishing business? Do you?
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Actually, it's pretty good. This is some of the best
time to fish.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
It really is.
Speaker 4 (40:56):
Everybody's off work.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Everybody's off work. And you know, I was thinking about
that coming down here. You know this, this is gonna
air Saturday, and there's a lot of people fishing lures
make great stop stocking stuffers.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Can somebody buy a fishing trip?
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Absolutely we have, Yes, sir, we have gift certificates available
for that if they want to make a good stocking
stuff or two. But I was thinking about, you know,
growing up, when I was a kid, y'all, I'm asking
y'all this, y'all remember getting your first tackle box you
wanted or you're roding real you know around you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
We'll have my first fishing rod because it got broken
somewhere along the way. But I have my first my
first Garcia Abu Garcia Ambassador five thousand real. I still
have it, and I've kept it working for fifty fifty
years now. It's still still works perfectly good my red
Abu Garcia five thousand that I got for Christmas one year,
(41:54):
and I just thought I was somebody. You know, I've
been having to fish with my dad or my granddaddy'
or somebody's and they bought me a bake ast for Christmas.
Like I said, still have.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
It out a die.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
They still make those, Yes, they still make dolls, one
of the major brands today. It's like very good, right,
but reels?
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Do you have a die? A millionaire bait caster?
Speaker 4 (42:14):
No, this was a spinning reel. Okay, Yeah, I've never
seen a bait caster until I've gone visited a friend
in Georgia and didn't really know what it was. I mean,
I thought that's what you fish for saltwater stuff with. Yeah, yeah,
but you don't cast those, that's right, you drop them.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
Thinking about you know, you know right now going into
you know, Christmas, like you know, there's people out there
that their kids are you know, so many kids get
involved in fishing now and and you and the parents
don't haven't really done it much, so they don't really know.
But you know, I was thinking, if you know the
lures and different different baits, they're they're great.
Speaker 4 (42:53):
Yeah, it's talking stuff.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
They really are, you know, and if anybody out there
that's maybe looking for some ideas I.
Speaker 4 (42:59):
Want to have.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Grant's going to give us how we're doing that thing
for the for the winter fishing trip. But I'm going
to offer to just reach out to me on Instagram
if you want to get some ideas, I'll be glad
to share that this week, you know, if you got
any ideas, maybe not, don't know what to get. You
know what I mean the kid saltwater or fresh water.
Speaker 4 (43:17):
Well, you know that when you when you come back
from up north and you you you're land back in
Florida and you and it's like you can actually walk
around outside uh.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Comfortably, Yeah, for the most part.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
And then you realize you have fishing. It's a year
round thing here.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
Uh, it's a year round thing up there in some
places too. They just they just sitting on the bucket
out there on the ice. The whole drill drill a
hole in the the guys that we the guys that
we uh Junior, that's one of the guides that for
the place where we go uh peasant hunting. He's got
an ice ice fishing house and rig and all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (43:52):
And fis lake and drill a hole.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
They drag it. They drag the drag or push the
little hut out there that ain't got a floor in it,
and they park it wherever they want to park it,
and drill a hole through the ice, knock a hole
through the ice, and they use fish finders drop you know,
drop transducers down in the water. And yeah, you think
potentially park the house on top of some structure where
you've got where you got fish hanging out, and sit
(44:17):
there and.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
A little heater in there.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
Fish wouldn't think we got to do that?
Speaker 3 (44:21):
Could you imagine?
Speaker 1 (44:22):
They do?
Speaker 4 (44:22):
I don't. I just don't get You just sit there.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Like about it. You know, you just catch one and
you just throw them over on the ice.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
He'll be our fine.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Yeah, he't got to use a stringer.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
You just throw the Yeah, you're keeping cool for me.
You got to worry about it.
Speaker 3 (44:36):
He got worried about hm freezing right now, I mean spoiling.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
It seems to me if you put a heater in
one of those things that it melt the ice like this, Nah,
I guess it goes out of side.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
It's thick. That ice is thick.
Speaker 4 (44:50):
How thick you think it is.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
I don't know, probably six or eight inches. I would
think six or eight inches thick, you know, walking around
on ice.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
Yeah, that'd be kind of nervous.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
I' walked around and gonna say, you ever been ice skating?
Speaker 4 (45:02):
Yeah? I had. I did long with it.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
You underneath that one I went duck hunting a pond.
Oh no, I ain't never done that.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
I went, don't do that. In Tallahassee, I went.
Speaker 5 (45:11):
Well, I know, but I'm asking like, if you have
been up north during the winter time, if like ice
fishing freaked out? And I was like, well, have you ever
gone ice skating? Because it's kind of the same thing.
Speaker 4 (45:19):
Yeah, I guess. I mean they were ice skating up there,
and uh in that Rockefeller Plaza.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Which ain't as big as you think it is. That's
a little.
Speaker 4 (45:27):
Little tiny thing. Yeah, they don't want to like five
hundred dollars to go ice skating.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
Kidding, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Yea.
Speaker 4 (45:33):
The prices are insane in that point.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
I went duck hunting one time in Kansas and it
was right behind a big freeze and it's like fifteen
degrees and it'd been colder than that with an ice
storm and all that, and we're out there duck hunting
and hard to find water, you know, because everything was
frozen over the ponds. And I was out there walking
around on ice on ice. Now, the water underneath the
ice was probably only about five deep on me, so
(45:58):
you might would have drowned. But it was only about
five deep on me, but wearing my waiters and shotgun.
And we were trying to get to the open water
where the ducks were landing. And I walked thirty forty
yards across and that ice was only maybe two inches
too and a half three inches thick.
Speaker 3 (46:15):
Would you hear it crack on you?
Speaker 2 (46:16):
Yeah? Yeah, you could hear it crack and you. I
stepped through it a couple bad step stepped through it
a couple of times. But I but I had cat
tails and stuff growing around me, so I knew the
water wasn't It wasn't like a stepping up, you know,
ten foot of water. Uh. I wasn't doing something stupid.
I was just you know, but it doesn't take a
lot of ice if it's you know, if it's solid,
it doesn't take a whole lot of it to support you.
(46:36):
I support you.
Speaker 4 (46:37):
I still wouldn't trust that you see those movies with yeah,
all in ice.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Well you're looking through this clear eyes and you can
see the bottom right under the ice. So it's not
that's right.
Speaker 4 (46:47):
But it's cold.
Speaker 3 (46:49):
Yeah, right now the water too is cold. Fifty one.
Speaker 4 (46:51):
Oh that's what it is right now already that cold.
Speaker 3 (46:55):
And ain't really been that cold yet, you know what
I mean? Oh yeah, it has.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
It's been cold enough.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
I mean, I'm thinkinglast year when that six inches of
snow and I had to wear my dad birking stocks
and change shoes. I couldn't even go out to my
tackle room for four days.
Speaker 4 (47:07):
Now you've got a mountain dew snuggy. Yeah, but I
heard it for another six inches of snow.
Speaker 3 (47:14):
The fish of definitely are biting right now. The crappie
has been unbelievable. The hybrids, I'm starting to see them
get going. That that could get good here.
Speaker 4 (47:25):
Yeah, me and my my buddy from from way back when.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Yes, I'm gonna have y'all come up and we'll go
and if they're doing it, we'll catch them. If not,
we'll go do some crappy on Livescope.
Speaker 4 (47:35):
You mention the name on the radio, so I'll keep
it quiet.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
That's right. But I tell you what the it's right now.
Just the fishing has been really good, means the bass
has been good. The crappie fishing has been good. And
I pulled up to a spot yesterday with a buddy
over on the Chatty river side and I'm looking at
them on livescope j D. I'm like, oh, man, there's
(48:00):
a thousand crappy right here. We're fixing to catch them.
I ain't seen none. Grouped up all morning through out
there and started catching them. They're ten inch white bass.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Huh but that was fun. Oh yeah, man, light tackle.
Speaker 3 (48:12):
Woah on crappie. Yeah, a little small jig, you.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Know, there's a that's a fighting little face.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
There was a bunch of them too. I met there
was too good. I was telling the guy that was
with me, he took some home. Now he's going to
pick them up. Don't they have a little red lining.
But don't want to take that out like highbrids.
Speaker 4 (48:27):
You want to.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
Yeah, they've got a blood a little bit of their bloodline.
There's different ways to do it, but yeah, get that out.
Speaker 3 (48:32):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
They're the good little foliece. I love white bass fishing
in the o'clatney River right here between ninety and I
ten in this in late February early March when you
start getting some of the early spring rains and the
ditches will get full of rain water, and you go
out there and catch crawfish out of the ditches with
a net and a little bitty tiny, you know, inch
(48:54):
and a half long crawfish and go up there and
fish the sand bars along the river. Just go from
turn to turn fishing sand bars, and you can get
on those white bass and have a ball out there.
They're big ones though they're they're to two pounders. You know,
which is a.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
Big white white bass is a mix?
Speaker 2 (49:09):
White bass ain't a mix of nothing. Hybrid is a
mix between. The stripper is a hybrid? Is a hybrid
That white striper that's the white bass are their own species.
Strippers are their own, and strippers rock fish whatever they get.
They that's another fish that gets caught a lot of
different things over the country.
Speaker 4 (49:26):
Rock bass you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Like striped bass, strippers.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
Strip so I call rock basses saltwater.
Speaker 2 (49:33):
Yeah, black sea bass, Yeah, that's what we call rock bass. Well,
they hang around the rocks, but no, up north, they
call like in New York and they do fish for
stripers out there in the Hudson Bay big time.
Speaker 4 (49:47):
Yeah, you could see that flying over into the city.
There are some like normal looking.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
Charter boats that you can you can charter a boat
to stripe bass fish what we call strippers.
