Speaker 4 (00:53):
There he goes, he's been around for one hundred years, a.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Year of the bigfoot out there. Man, I tell you
what I was driving to. So I started out the
new year with a new herd of cows. That was
I had been working on trying to double the herd
size that I have not granted, I've only got about
ten cows, but I wanted to get up to Technically,
I tripled it because I bought ten more pairs cow

(01:17):
cap pairs a cow and a calf by side, and
these cows should be bred back by this point, and
so technically I got thirty more. It's just the third
of them an't been born yet. Ten of them they're
September yeah, yeah, yeah, well their September October calves, beautiful
beautiful calves. And I got a line on a small

(01:39):
closed herd of cows that and this they actually came
from my second cousin's son, which is my second cousin
once removed, right right, that's right, that's right, yeah, and
so h and I was trying to figure this out,
and I was driving down the road and I went,
I put pushed a little microphone on Google, and I said,

(02:00):
what is my grandmother's sister's grandson as it relates to me?
And it said your second cousins. I'm like, good, now,
what is my grandmother my grandmother's sisters grand great grandson
to me? And that's your second cousin once removed. I
went good.

Speaker 6 (02:17):
So I means y'all could date.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Well I don't. I don't want to. And the funny
thing is is my second cousin his name is Charlie too,
So my wife gets a kick out of us talking
on the Hey Charlie, Hey Charlie, how you doing, Charlie.
I'm a right Charlie, how you? I said, Too many Charlie's.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
And the like Roger in the cockpit ers.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Roger over and uh over under. So we uh so
I went up there in this this uh my second
cousin once removed, he was liquidating his curt his has
heard and went over there and got them and turned
them loose into cow pasture, and man, it's so pretty.

(02:59):
I put it on TikTok on the video the cows
getting out there, and had the sheriff go help me
move them, not to lend count of sheriff, but the
Jackson County sheriff, Sheriff Edinfield went to help me in.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
He helped you move them, move, move.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Them, and man, it was a pretty almost had a cow.
And so now here's where it got funny. So we
unloaded these cows. Now that the cows is in one
trailer and I had the other trailer and we had
the calves in there. Well, Couzin didn't fix the bulls,
the bull calves, and so we got to do that.

(03:33):
So we had to fix the bulls. Had had to
turn them into steers, and so well we turned them
into the catch pin, all right, and we ran them
in to shoot. So, okay, here's the first bull. Well,
you know they're young, so to tell they're a bull
if you can't look, you reach up underneath there and feel,
and you it's either a young udder or young you know,

(03:55):
business end of the mail. And so we got so
we're gonna band. We're gonna band them. You know, there's
two ways to fix it, bull calf. There's a rubber band,
big old thick rubber band with a set of plyers
that spreads it out, and you drop them in there
and let go. A few days later they're gone. And
or you can get a real sharp scalpel. Or you
can get a real sharp pocket knife. Jedi grew up

(04:17):
around a real sharp pocket life. You've seen that happen before. Well,
the sheriff, being my friend, decides he's gonna show my
wife how to do this. And my wife she hopped
her happy little tail right up in the chute and
she grabbed her handful in that band and she went,

(04:37):
she was going. And so I'm looking over there, and
I got on video and I'm sitting there looking in
the sheriff to show them my sheriff. My friend went
out with my wife how to do this to a cow.
And she looks like she's enjoying it.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
You better.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
I'm like, uh, you know, I sleep real light, and
she goes, you don't sleep that light.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
And I'm gonna tell you all, my wife will not
hear this show.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
And well, I'm glad my wife don't listen.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
I got I sat there and it was fun. It
was funny, and I'm sitting all proud of her and stuff,
and I got thinking, I'm like, man, I don't think
she needs to know how to do this. She didn't
need to done she didn't even know this concept. So
anyway we went. Then, so we ended up banning three
and I had to get out and there with my
real sharp pocket knife and do the other one myself
because I just couldn't get rubber band. Poor little thing,
he just didn't have enough to get a rubber band around.

(05:26):
But we but now I look out here. Now I
got me a night. Now I have I am a
tenth of the way to where I want to be
long term.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Well, I have a question. You got three of them
now they're like that was that was fun.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
That was a fun day, Mickey mouse cow.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
I just I just had I just had a memory.
I just had this memory. Oh yeah, I grew up
with cows. We had about I had about forty because forty.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Haff question I want to ask, and I'm I just
don't know. Yeah, didn't ask.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
So I was moving moving cows from one pasture to
the other. And it's because we were going to let
the one pasture grow up and cut hay off of it.
So I'm moving into a different pasture. And we had
just done this operation that you were talking about with
the rubber bands. And I had a little Honda Honda
one eighty five S three wheeler, I mean, and that's

(06:18):
what I used around the farm to move cows with.
They I mean, it was a it was a horse. Yeah,
way better than a horse. You ain't got to feed
it tea. Yeah. So I was moving the herd around
and a couple of little couple of the little ones,
you know, they get frisky and O mama cows, you
push them, they'll they'll go on it, you know. Well,
a couple of them got frisky, and one of them

(06:38):
took off to the far end of the pasture, and
I'm like, I got everything over there. I went running
around behind him, and I'm chasing him across the pasture,
running him towards the towards the fence, and I'm going
across there, and all of a sudden, I had forgotten
that we had put the rubber bands and they fell off.
I was chasing him across there. It was running wide open,

(07:04):
and and what the rubber bands had intended to do
caused them to fall off. And I was just he
was right in front of me, and it's like they
like bounced up and hit that was the poor thing.
So I ran the balls off of that bull. It

(07:25):
wasn't bad because we ate him about a couple of
year or so later. Well, I've my one of my jobs.
Every day when i'd get home from school or get
out get off the ball practice, I'd go home and
load up a couple hundred pounds of corn that we
grew corn every year, playing about twenty five acres of
corn every year and we take it to the mill
and get it ground up, and that's what we used

(07:46):
to fatten up the We pulled the steers in that
we were going to fatten up that year, and I'd
have to go load them, and they were This was
one hundred pounds sacks of corn. So I was, you know,
in high school and I'm playing football and uh, I'm
going home in hand and two or three hundred pounds
you know, bags of corn every day, moving them around
and feeding them. I didn't have to go to the

(08:06):
weight room.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I was doing.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
I was. I was strong as Jamis says, uh scream scrong, yeah,
from from picking up the one hundred pounds sacks of corn.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Then he was screaking down the screen.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
You know, I don't realize growing up how heavy things
were and how you ended up getting strong until I
hand my I tell my thirteen year old son, go
pick up that sack of feed, and he goes over
there and pulls on it. And I look at him
and I went, boy, I've been too soft on you, and
too soft on you.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Man. I started throwing you know, when I was twelve thirteen,
I'd got got about where I was strong enough to
pick up the old square vell of beheo grass hay
and by myself and hoisted up onto the trailer that
was you know, I definitely allergic to it.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Anger wire backing, yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Something, boy, you better not bust one of them, because
you get somebody was being ugly about that.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
They're trying to tie that thing back up. Some more
string and tie it back make up for what you
just messed up.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
But we use that old old poly string stuff. The
wires dangerous, well, you know, but everybody star stuff. But
you when you talk about bailing wire or you talk
about uh, you know that you're really talking nowadays about
letter fence wire, you know you use that that bailing
wire was that's a that's a whole different story. Oh yeah, No,

(09:34):
we had that old little whatever polly your thing, old
plastic plastic kind of string. But uh, and that I
learned the hard way.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
You're supposed to cut that off the hay bells. I
fed a couple of bells full of that wrapped that
stuff to some goat goats one time and it got
ate it and it killed about living. You learn or
they die. Anyway, We'll be back. Have you I been
diagnosed with a herniated disc or arthritis in your back

(10:02):
or neck. Doctor Joseph Miller, d C at the Tallahassee
Spine Center may have a druglest and non surgical solution
waiting for you. Called doctor Joseph Miller at eight five
O five eight oh fifty two fifty two set up
an appointment today. Hi is Charlie at Tallon JD. And
I are proud to be sponsored by the great folks
at Recon Restoration. Stephen and Ashley at Recon came to
my rescue when I needed mold mitigation performed on my house.

(10:24):
At Recon they do restoration from mold, fire and smoke damage,
demolition and repair services. Recon also performs full service cleaning,
trauma and crime scene clean up. If you have repair
cleaning needs, we recommend you call Recon Restoration at seven
five five zero six two eight. Are on the web
at recondash restoration dot com. Handle back on a break, Paul,

(10:53):
you asked about, uh, why why steers and why all
the you know that kind.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Of go to the trouble.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, and it's so in essence when if you have
cows and you have calves, the heifers, which are the
unbred females. So you've got a cow, which is a
a adult cow who has had a calf. You have
a heifer. And a heifer is not a woman. It's

(11:21):
you don't call them. You get in trouble. You say
stuff like that unless you you know your wife. But
you don't do that. It's bad, bad. So a heifer
is a female cow that has not had a calf.
So you can buy a bread heifer, okay, and you
can get them cheaper than a bread cow. Sometimes problem
is is, uh, then they're young, so you're gonna have

(11:43):
a long production life of that that heifer when she
turns into a cow. But that heifer had never had
a cow a calf before, So you're running, is she
gonna you know, she gon birth easily or not? And
what she bred to a low birth weight bull? And
you got things like that, you got considered. Now when
when you talk about the mail the males, you got

(12:05):
the bull. Everybody knows what the bull is.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
A steer.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Everybody here steer this and steer that. You know it's
it's but a steer is a fixed bull, and that's there,
and you fix them young, and what you get is
an increased rate of growth because you've got you know,
a male animal and he's going to grow bigger naturally,
but he doesn't have automal hormones, so you don't have

(12:28):
you know, all that.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
All the fighting and all the taste is better for
the beef.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Production and all the same thing when you're raising pigs.
So you've got a boarhog, and then you have a
fixed barhog, which is a barrow and a barrel. Is
you know, that's going to grow faster. And I mean
if you like, if you're buying calves at the seal, uh,
you your your steers will bring more than your heifers
because they're going to grow out and be bigger. They're

(12:53):
gonna be worth more in the long run. And so
with a pig, you know, pigs, you know, you cycle
them pretty quick. I mean, you don't have the long
for you're butchering them. But you've got the sALS, which
are an adult female sal who has had pigs, a
female pig hog. And then you've got the young females
that have not had pigs, and they're called gilts. So

(13:15):
you've got gilts and barrels. And then and then you've
got boars and sows.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
And those are the ones you show in the fair
barrels and gilts.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah yeah. And actually the herd that I just bought
one of the things I like most about it. It was
a closed herd, wasn't a bunch of sail barn cows
that had come in there and never sailed barn cows.
They were all individually purchased, and they were showcut. They
were show heifers that had gone in one blue ribbons,
and some are purebred angus and some purebread some and tall,
and some are one quarter three quarter one way or

(13:45):
the other of fifty to fifty splits, and they're all
pets there and pet all. I mean, it's just an
awesome It was a heck of a bye. It wasn't cheap,
but it was a heck of a buy. And it
was a herd built by a young man and his
brother and sister that had shown these cows, and it
was it's I've got really really lucky to happen up
amongst this thing. Now. The funny thing was it wasn't

(14:08):
all that I was driving up there and I got
my thirteen year old boy CJ with me, and we're
driving along, and I had to introduce him to Jack Foxworthy.
He didn't know who Jeff Foxworthy was, and he had
never heard that you might be a redneck thing. He's thirteen,
you know. Here's the thing is. And if you go
and I and I'm driving along, and I said, boy,
I just got reminded of one of those you must

(14:30):
be you might be a redneck things. And he looked
at me. Funny, I said, from Jeff Foxworthy son. He
looked at me, thinks yept. He didn't know what I
was talking about. And I said, you never heard of
Jeff Foxworth. I said, hang on a minute. I said,
it's blue collar comedy, you know. And so I just said,
you know, I said that the a word on the
thing that the sounds like relaxa but it's, you know,

(14:50):
played Jeff Foxworthy, you might be a redneck. And if
I say the word in somebody's radio will mess up
n SO and so it starts playing. And I realized
that most of Jeff Foxworthy's you might be a redinic
doesn't resonate with this younger generation because there's not a
whole lot of I mean there is, but it ain't

(15:11):
as many houses with you know, wobbly boxes with jacked
up cars in the yard and all that kind of
stuff ain't like it used to be.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
And what do y'all I didn't understand it, So I'm
having to explain your own joke under the table to Fred.

Speaker 5 (15:27):
Oh okay, proceeds.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Sorry, okay. So anyway, so we're riding along and I
look over out of the corner of my eye, I
see I see this sign to it. I see a
sign to a funeral home, and it's it's got a
different spelling to it, and I'm going, I wonder if
they pronounce it this way or that way. If you
pronounce it with the French accent, then it's so and so.
And I look over at the thing, and it's a
really nice funeral home, and I said, you know, that's

(15:49):
a nice place. And that's a big, old, nice, pretty
beautiful white hearse limousine, stretched limousine under there, and backed
up to it, backed up under the same ship. Had
on the side of the funeral home was a big
old bass boat.

Speaker 6 (16:08):
I said. And I told c J.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
I said, see right there, boy, if if if you
park your bass boat under the same shed as your
stretched limousine, hers it's your funeral home, that is, and
in retrospect, looking back, I got a thinking about it.
And it was white, so it was probably a bay

(16:31):
boat or a flats boat, which is a little higher class.
But still I was like, hey man, I'm sitting there
going we're gonna go to the fun and I apologize
for you Olliver and Chipley to use that place, but
the they did.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
He wanted to go off to the eternity.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Well, I wonder if maybe the guy passed away and
that was his last week. I don't know. I didn't
get it. I just looked over there and I was like, well.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
So you're a family and Uncle Festus dies and you're
going up to the funeral home. There's a dog on
bass boat sitting there next to the hers.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
You're like, okay, that's for them burials at sea.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Maybe I don't want to spread with Grandpa's ashes out
all right, we got you covered.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Put it out there lake, some of them.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Water. We got it all covered. We go. We can't
get that boat out there, but we got john boat
we can get and do that on the creek.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
So I got a call from a guy over the
weekend as New Year, so get a few calls. Apparently
got pulled over. The cop comes up, said what's your name?
He says h He says David. He says do you

my daddy, go, we're gonna name this boy, and my daddy,
being the joker, he is, go just name him Charlie Brown.
And my name to this day is Charles Brown Strickland.
And that was a joke. And I have fought, literally

(18:15):
literally been in fights over that Charlie Brown. He's a clown,
you know, Charlie Brown. Where snooping? You kick got football lately?
Just then there was the Charlie the tuna jokes, and
there was the all that. Man, I tell I tell
you what I have. I have fought. It's like naming
your boys suit.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
So my youngest son for Christmas gave that gave me
a round of golf at that new wal coll of
Sands course which is really nice and they treat really nice.
Are there people that play out there. So I went

Speaker 3 (20:39):
You never know, you know, you never know what at
a New Year's E party.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
New Year's E party, Well, I was, I was. I
was looking at the news and it talked about somewhere
over in Europe, Iceland or Greenland or not wanting places
over there, and they uh, and I saw and I'm
so used to active shooter and mass murders, and that said,
you know, dozens dead under fire, blah blah blah blah.
I thought somebody had shot up a nightclub on New
Year's evening. It was an actual fire, fire, firefire. Bartender

(21:06):
picked up another bartender and put her on his shoulders,
and he had a candle in her hands for some reason,
and caught the ceiling on fire and killed killed dozens
of people. Yeah, I caught the whole bar on fire.
So place just went up in flames. And and I'm
sitting I'm reading the thing going. So when did they
start shooting at each other? But apparently it wasn't.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
It was just bartender with the canda.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
I'm gonna tell her myself. I kind of didn't think
about it being New Year's even I went to bed
about nine thirty and because I was tired and drove back.
I drove eight hours on New Year's Eve from Miami
back to Tallahassee.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
And uh, I drove get away from that place too well.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
I got home, I was tired, went to bed early,
and I'm laying there and right about midnight, everybody in
Colrn Lake decided to shoot all fireworks. I come up
out of that because I had to been in Miami,
and I had been in Miami for two days, two
and a half days after the cruise down there, so
I was already wound up from being down there around.

(22:08):
I'm nervous the whole time I'm down there for the
most part, but so yeah, it woke me all the fireworks.
I come up. I had to read out of the

rather be in Miami than New York City, but only
because I carry a gun around Miami. I can't carry
one around New York City. But as far as the culture,
I think I'd rather be in New York.

So I'll tell you this was probably the first trip
to Miami ever been to where I didn't I wasn't

and all that stuff. But on your main meal at night,
it was just you went in, you ordered off a menu.
That's what you got. It wouldn't bring me bring me
every entree and like some of the cruises can get
extravagant with it. But it was a lot of fun.

(24:51):
They had a lot of They had karaoke bars, they
had a lot of contest and uh music stuff because
it's Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, so a lot of music related

we did not go to Nasau.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
It was just a it was only three night crewis
so we went. We went straight over to Grand Bahama,
spent the day on the island. The girls went to
the beach, swam with the hogs. Yeah, they did the pigs.
They let the pigs out, and then I sat up
at the bar and listened to the listen to reggae
music and drank some pineapple or not pineapple?

Speaker 4 (25:51):
Was that?

Speaker 3 (25:51):
It was a grapefruit flavored beer.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Good is low alcohol content beer. I mean I I
sat in the shade. Man, I'm not gonna go sit
on that beach and just cook.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
Did they go in the water, Yeah, it was temperature cool.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
They said it was pretty cold. I think it was seventy.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
The high temp the day we were on Grandmahamma was
only like seventy six degrees, so it wasn't it wasn't warm.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
What about the pools on the ship where they heated
or I don't know, it didn't get in them. We
did the kids. Nobody got in the pools.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
They laid out on the deck and got some sun
and laid out on the deck. I set in the shade.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
How about the room? Was it nice? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Room was real nice.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
How many rooms? You have? Two for the girls.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
And now the girls had their own room and then
me and Mamma had our own room.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Counsel, you're going somewhere with this line of question, just
very curious.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
Little too much, so fredn't I we were at adjoining rooms.
They were right next to us. It's nice.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
Did they have like balconies and not on the level
we were on, but you could get them?

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yeah, all right, yep, they had balcony. It's a small boat.
It's an old Marguerite bill. They actually got a new
ship coming out online, so they'll give them three. But
it was an old Bahamas I looked up the history
of the ship. It was some kind of It was
a Bahamas cruise line from back in the day that
they bought the old boats and completely refurbished it.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
I've never been on a cruise, but my wife is
nobody got on one in April.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
I think you could have, Paul, we could have taken
our bass boat.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Cruisers. I don't know what kind of cruise it is.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Something check and see what kind it is. Because I
got here from conds.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
Now, huh, I can handle it.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Like I said, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
They better not book you on like a Disney cruise
or anything. Parents nervous would.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
The first cruise I ever went on was the one
I was talking about that that any now went on
was m SC Cruise Line, which is the Mediterranean and
they just come across and started doing stuff in the Bahamas.
Now and it's an Italian Italian cruise. You talk about
fancy food, and they did a on that one. They
did a thing one night where all the chefs on

(28:08):
board got to show out and they did all this
fruit sculpture and ice sculptures and had it all around
the pool and you basically go around and sea. The
food and all that was a that was more of
a grown up theme stuff. They didn't have all the Yeah,
I mean.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
I've been to a harmless like more times than account.
It's never done a cruise.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah, it's fun, had a good time A yeah, we'll
be back just night. 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 JD.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
Johnson.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Both Charlie and I use the Shoe Box for all
of our work boots, casual shoes and shirt.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Jeff W. Weldon 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 3 (28:54):
If you see us, we're probably wearing a car heart
shirt embordered by Jeff and shoes from there as well.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
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?

Speaker 3 (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 (29:19):
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 Teespark Construction dot
com or call him at eight five O seven sixty
six thirteen forty And we're back. So it's the first

(29:41):
of the year. So there's no more two hundred dollars
tax damps. Yeah, no more tax stamps. I'll tell you what.
I was up here the other day and it was
business was booming, and well it was poofing. There was
a bunch of cans going out the door. It wasn't
no booming going on. But I walked in here and
there was people all around the counter and they were
ken and sitting all over the count right now. So

(30:01):
I had to jump in start helping the fingerprint somebody.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
And there's been a minute, just as expected when we
when Matt started trying to do the process and the
paperwork on all this stuff that's been on hold. It's
things ain't working exactly like they're supposed to do with
the federal government's computer system. But I fully expected that
and we've warned people about that, so it'll take it
a while for it to get I think the system

(30:27):
just it's hard for us to even log into the
system right now. And I think it's just a system
as overwhelmed Matt said. He got on there last night
at midnight and tried to start prepping stuff last night
at midnight, and it couldn't even get couldn't even get
logged in because it's just a lot of people doing
what we're doing.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
It's kind of like the Y two K thing everybody's
scared about back in the day. This is the whole
similar except in our little world. It's gonna be interesting
to see plast three items. It's going to be interesting
to see the if they come up with a total
a toe little uh front load, if you will, of
the how many suppressors around the country are going.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
To be applied for the four and four submitted in
the first couple of weeks. Uh. I think that number
will go over a million, I really do, just based
on how many we have in waiting and how many
gun stores. Everybody's talking about, the guys that I talked
to that are in the business that are all doing
the same thing. We are, they're all you know, well.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
A lot of them are not Florida people. They don't
have this tax is I want?

Speaker 7 (31:33):
I want.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
What I want is the equivalent of Trump's new million
dollar immigration goal card. But I want this for gun owners. Yes,
and if you and if you're if you, if you
are a law abiding and citizen, passed all the background checks,
and you've you've been judged saying and everything else, and
just just giving on. Want to pay no million dollars
for it, but I want something. Just give me a
gold card and then I can go buy whatever I

(31:55):
want whenever I want to know.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
I've been advocating for a good Guy card for years,
and I know some people go, all right, we shouldn't
have to have You're right, we shouldn't have that.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
You're in the Trump organization. Out here's your opportunity right here.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
I will gladly, I will gladly pay whatever fee it
takes for them to process my background check. Uh, because
there's there's money, I mean, it's time and effort involved
in that. When you assign an investigator to me, come
talk to my neighbors, if you want to, whatever it takes,
give me a good Guy Card where I can have
whatever it is I want and walk out the door

(32:29):
with it without all this silly PaperWorks.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Be nice, yeah, I mean.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
And the thing is to keep your good guy card
off file.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
There there is a way because if you, like in
the state of Florida, if you have a security license,
an armed or unarmed security license. So if you have
a G A d's unarmed, G is armed And you know,
I have a security company, and so my people that
have a D A G license meaning they can carry
a gun. Okay, the Department of Agriculture monitors their background constantly.

(32:58):
Now you go get a concealed weapons permit, same thing,
They keep tabs on what you got going on. But
you can go down and get a class. You can
go get a level two background check done at school
board for as a volunteer whatever. Well, they don't know
if you've got in trouble. They just know that you
passed a background check on such and something trouble. But
the thing is is if you get one of these licenses,

(33:20):
it's very much like a driver's license. You get so
many tickets and points and all that. But if you
get arrested in wherever that they track. So if you're
in Miami and you get arrested on the weekend, and
it's a charge that could potentially cost you your armed license.
Within a few days, you'll get a notification saying your
license is under review and you can no longer carry
a gun under this security license. I mean, this thing

(33:43):
happens within hours. You can't tell me that I should
have to go in every single time I buy a
gun and I have to undergo this hours long because
in the state of Florida, depends on how busy. Sometimes
comes back in thirty seconds, for a minute, sometimes it
comes by the national check comes back in a matter
of thirty forty seconds. In Florida, they go and because

(34:05):
they require a person to lay their hand on that
thing and double check everything, because there may be somebody
with a similar name in another county and they wanted
to look at all this stuff. But they go to
do this exhaustive background check on you every single time,
and depend on how busy they are, you may be
that you may be here for four or five hours
waiting on that background check to come back. And you
can't tell me that there's not a system where you

(34:25):
can issue me a card that's in the database, and
if I get in trouble or something happens, or somebody
files an injunction against me, or something happens anything out
there that they then go suspend that, notify me, put
it back in the database, and when I show up
and we take that good guy card and scan it
and go you need a good guy no more? Here

(34:46):
your good guy rights have been suspended.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
This is a wiregrass segment, right.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
This is Tyler Assey right here.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
Okay, what's the wiregrass segment next?

Speaker 3 (34:54):
That will last about going on the cruise on the
final wiregraph.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
Wait a minute, the cruise is Gonne only on the
wire they got. Well that was a good segment.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yeah, well it was gone it friends are streaming due.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
Well, I went shot Mallards. I saw the at in
Charlie's neck of the woods.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
Mm hmm over in Chipley or where it.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
Was actually bask them floor.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
It was that, Yeah, it was that. It was that
place that we've been invited to before.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
That's where my that's where my the Jaunson side of
my family's from. Okay, well bask them in two eggs
and Malone over there.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Well, we'd actually put flyers up for him before we're
here at the shop for some of his tower shoots
and stuff.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
I think what happens is we need to talk about
his specific location on the radio in exchange for a
Mallard hunt.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
Y'all killed a bunch of them, didn't you.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
Man. Let me tell you. They were coming in in droves.
I mean they must have been four hundred and five
hundred ducks, and they were they and they were coming in,
I mean in packs of thirty. And it's like when
a covey of quail hops up and you're like, oh,
which one do I shoot? Which one?

Speaker 3 (35:57):
And they would take the plug out and get after.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Well, I'm shooting and paid for him. You're gonna pay
for him. So you could get six for three seventy
five I think it was, and any bird over that
was forty five land up shooting seven. We had one
guy with child eleven over. I mean he got addicted
to it and he's like this he's.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
A doctor and this this isn't. This is because it's
a hunting preserve and they have different rules there. And
when you when I saw your picture, you said, well,
I'm duck hunting, and I saw that there was Mallards
in there. And I said, well, you go somewhere hunting locally.
You went local. I knew exactly where you hunt because
it ain't but one place around you can do that. Yeah,
and it was one.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
Yeah, it was good. Uh the I mean good shooting
These birds were I mean they're flying in there. I
actually missed a couple. Well, yeah, I was happy because
a challenger. Yeah, because you know, usually I don't miss
big birds. And uh, it was, it was. It was

(36:54):
a lot of fun. To put it that way.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
I'm gonna do it again.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
Yeah I could. I could tell the way y'all were dressed.
And you're shooting over and unders too. You know you
wouldn't for real. I took Charlie on a for real
duck hut one time out in the Mississippi shooting wild birds.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Beautiful.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
That's one of the things where if you don't look
up at him, if you look up at him, they
will turn and go the other way if they see
your eyes.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
My brother's out now Arkansas, and uh, he just sent
me a text about ten fifteen minutes ago. This's Ereon Mallard.
Nice there, Mallard. Harvest This morning was like some other
mallards in their teeth. Yeah, got some other stuff in

decoys and you know, you're looking across there out telling
the person I was with, you know, look, don't it
need how their face is going like an angel?

Speaker 4 (39:04):
I wonder if the duck see that?

Speaker 3 (39:06):
Absolutely they do. That's why you don't look up at them.
That's why you there, That's why you keep your head down.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
It's uh, it's amazing how how much you uh, you
know with with duck hunting, you got to stay covered up,
you know, and they pick up the movement. Why you
wear a mask, absolutely, absolutely, it's.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Why you wear a mask.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
They can their brain is a lot smaller than their eyeballs.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Come see us a midway right off ien or call
us at five nine seven seventy five point fifty.

Speaker 6 (40:36):
It's a driving.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
I'm sorning.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
On a broke on a break, broad broke on the broke.

Speaker 6 (40:46):
It broads We were.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
Yeah, So we were talking about being on the water
and duck hunt, and so we were talking about blinds
and permanent blinds. In the fact you can't do that
no more.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Yeah FWC I think used that as a impeding navigation. Uh.
The reality of the why you can't put blinds on
public water anymore, I think has more to do with
the blind war, the blind wars, the conflicts that came
about because of blinds. Because you know, back in the
day on Mikisooki, I built the blind on Mikisooki every

(41:22):
year and for years, and everybody around me built their blinds,
and we all kind of knew each other, and everybody's
that that's their spot and this is our So but
what would happen is you get somebody new would come
in and you just spent all this time and effort
building a blind, and then you go out there open
in the morning and there's somebody in your blind and

(41:43):
we would put our name back back in those days,
we'd write our name on the inside of the blind,
and everybody pretty much respected the fact that that was
your blind. And on the opening morning or in on
the season break open, you know, because you got a
season early season. And that goes out for a little bit.

Speaker 5 (41:57):
In fact, when we had a high trust society and
people respect.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
When there was things like a Jackson. Yeah, when there
was a respectful society and people understood that you spent time,
effort and money putting into this thing, they would respect that.
At least on the opening day, on an opening day
of a break, Now if it was the second day,
third day, whatever, first come, first serve, get up early.
That's all I tell you. If you want to sit
in your blind, you better be beat somebody else there,

(42:22):
especially if you had a nice one. So people would
get mad and they would go out there with gasoline,
set them on fire, break them down. I've had somebody
steal the wood out of my blind and my stuffing
and all that stuff and go move it three hundred yards.
And I go to looking around and I find my
two by four with my name on it, or I'd
put my initials on all my wood that would I

(42:43):
put up out there.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
And that's when j D burned her mind down.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
No, that just that was when I repossessed my lumber
that I paid for and moved it back to where
I wanted it. So yeah, I mean it was just
there was not nearly as much the silliness, but it
got to be. And I blame I honestly blame the

(43:06):
TV show of Duck Dynasty.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
Do you think that's what did it?

Speaker 3 (43:10):
Yeah, it got a lot of people. Duck hunting is
not for the faint of heart.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
No, it is not.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
It is cold, it is early, it is wet, and
it's a lot of work. Like I tell people, it
is not for young folks. I mean, it's not for
old it's not for old folks.

Speaker 4 (43:26):
I mean you got to get out there throwing decoys
out at three and four in the morning, and.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Yeah, but now it might have to push a boat
out of the flat the tide goes out for a mile,
for a mile.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
That morning. Is when I realized I ain't a young
man anymore.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
You know.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
I mean, you got your gloves and they're not working,
and yeah, hands are just frozen.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
And yeah, so back in those days has to find
shallow water to wait around here.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
It's that's even worse.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
So so yeah, I mean it's uh, you know, duck hunting.
I've absolutely still to this day love it. I just
understand my limitations at this point, being on there sixty
years old that that's not that ain't for me no more.
I do a duck hunt like you just did. That's
not a lot of work, I know.

Speaker 4 (44:12):
We walked out about nine in the morning.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
Dude.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
Yeah, well, you know I one of the last times
I went on public land duck hunting. I carried a big,
huge bag of decoys about a mile across Kansas Prairie
to get to the spot. I could see the spot
from where I parked the truck, and it looked like
just flat and nice grass all the way over to
this lake over there that you could see right down

(44:38):
there there's the lake. Until you get out there and
start walking in that stuff and realize it ain't flat ground.
There's holes and potholes and ditches and all this stuff.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
And you got a cash there's some crp in South
Dakota that's like.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
That exactly if you'd imagine walking through a mile of
that not but you're carrying your shotgun and yours and
you got a Santa Claus sized sack of decoys on
your back. And I realized that they you know, Thankfully,
on that trip when we got over there, I was
got the decoys put out. I was exhausted. I'm laying
there flat of my back in the snow in the

(45:11):
cat tails, just about a sleep, and I hear look
up and there is literally twenty five mallards cupped up
trying to come into the decoys. What was really bad
is my limit was over with in about five minutes
and now I got there. Now I'm looking at my
truck now I know how far away it is, and
it's way over yonder. I almost donated them decoys to

(45:33):
the next guy that come over there to go to
go hunting, because I was sure dreaded carry them, but
carry them all the way back across that thing.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
You do that in Canada, And what they do is
and you got to set these silhouette things. It's trying
to stab them in the ground. Yeah, you stabbing them
into the ground. The grounds frozen and you you know,
you feed her just yeah. And you got to see
them flapping their wings.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (45:59):
You laid down into these dog on coffin blass and
they're on the ground.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
Yeah, and you just freeze and it's cold.

Speaker 4 (46:05):
I mean, it's worth it. When they start coming in,
you forget how.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
That's jade, how much to do this and these things
don't eat me, Like.

Speaker 4 (46:13):
Yeah, and you shoot the geese and you're likeugh, this
thing is nasty.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (46:17):
I tell you all what.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Yesterday I had a trip when the uh parents come
down with had a eleven year old boy and an
eight year old girl. They're doing a FWC is having
a program for it for the youth. You can catch
twenty salt order fish and twenty fresh water different guys
and UH species, different species. And they were coming. They
wanted to catch a pickerel, a white bass, a hybrid,

(46:40):
and a.

Speaker 4 (46:42):
Striper.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
And we went out and was fishing yesterday and they
caught everything but a striper. With that, I had such
a good time. That's a neat thing. Get kids involved
in fishing salt order fish and freshwater. I'm going to
try to do some research find out exactly what that was,
but it was that was really neat. I had a
great time with them.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
Right, So they didn't catch stripper. They didn't get to
catch striper. Now we we if we caught a striper
yet this year. Oh yes, we caught some, but they're
not doing it big time yet.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
They when's that counting? I'm hoping it in between now
in the februar if it don't happening.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
Between now in February. Yes, sir, all right, it's Cherry
Nelson if you hear that, all right. But I tell
you we found a school of uh little white bass.
They must have been five hundred of them. And you
dropped little using crappie jigs, drop it down there, and.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
They had they had.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
They're just going after it and they're hitting on it.
It was cooled you'd hit them because they got a
little small miles and they were small now about that big.
But it was fun watching them, them kids out of them. Boy,
they catch a bass, yep, they caught some baths too big,
it didn't the biggest more than about three pounds.

Speaker 4 (47:44):
A little girl hook one in the eye. I told her,
told the little boy, I said, your brother, your your sister's.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Going to catch one for you. He said no, she won't.
I said, you watch. She fell out there, putting right
in the eyeball.

Speaker 4 (47:55):
So now you go.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
Now you got a one eyed bass, I got a.

Speaker 4 (47:57):
One eyed bass. You give them a patch or anything
to put on. She said that I need to give
him a patch. I said, no, he'll be okay.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
But that was any time you can take a kid
and it's so worth it. Just see their excitement when
they're fighting and fishing, you know. And I told them,
I told him, I said, we're gonna go over here.
We're gonna let y'all catch a bass. They said really,
And I say, what's your biggest bass? And the little
kid said about ten pounds. I said, oh good, how
about you? How about you young ladies? But I wanted

(48:24):
to tell everybody the end of the year. This year
with two hundred and eighty personal busses, it was incredible.
Most I've ever had in one personal best bass or
Croppi or two.
