Episode Transcript

(00:02):
Welcome to the WhitetailAdvantage Podcast with your host,
Brett Bovin.
Thank you for tuning in andenjoy the show.

(00:22):
I'm a dumbass.
I forgot to change the video.
I was just gonna start singing.
And here's your host.
So if you're listening to thison the audio version, I. I edit the.
The countdown on the audioversion, so you want to listen to

(00:42):
that.
But last show and this show, Iaccidentally forgot to put the audio
clip with the.
The video itself, so I alreadyput that in post.
That's why we're talking.
That's what we're talking about.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yep.
Well, you know, you get caught up.
You're busy.

(01:02):
You were putting up your settoday, I saw, and.
Oh, it was.
It was a day, that's for sure.
Like, yeah, Yeah.
I was gonna do it Saturday,but I was just.
First is college football day, so.
Oh, geez.
Yeah, that's.
It's hard to do anything onthat day.
It's like, ah.
But even then, I. I knew whereI wanted to put them, but I was just

(01:26):
kind of like, so my dad hasthese old hang on sticks.
Yep.
Like.
Like the old one.
Like, the latter type, not thenew type of sticks, where it's like
the single one and stuff like that.
And that's what they used for the.
Those old hang on type sticksstyles back in the day.
He sent me a picture, and hesays he has some of those.

(01:48):
And I was like, well, shit, Iforgot you even had those.
Let me take those out and putthem up in some trees.
He had enough that I could use.
I could put them up to getabout, like, 15ft up in the air on,
like, two trees.
I was like, that's perfect.
Just get me up off the ground.
And I can always just use oneof my sticks to get me up a little

(02:08):
bit more if I wanted to.
Mm.
And I knew where I wanted toput them because when I was hunting
last year in the.
In the years prior, I sawthese two.
Just big gullies.
Yeah.
And like, they were just.
It's just a bowl.
And I was like, if I couldjust be somewhere in that vicinity.

(02:29):
Yeah.
During, like, the rut.
I mean, don't worry me wrong.
We're a spot where I have my360s now.
They're fine.
But yeah, I was like, man,those would be killer.
I'd just be banking.
Bank.
So.
But I also had some otherspots I was kind of debating on,
too, but I was like, no, let'sjust stick to where I want them.
Yep.
Put them there.
And that's what I ended updoing today.

(02:50):
So that took about four hours.
I just wanted to get in and out.
I just wanted to mainly justget them up and get some quick shooting
lanes down.
That way I kind of have atleast something to go off of and
probably got to move themaround, stuff like that, whatnot.
But they're up running.
That's what I did today.

(03:10):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
You getting any.
Any signs, seeing anythingworthwhile, Maybe something you might
want to go after yet?
I had this one deer and I toldyou guys about.
I call it.
I call him Pikachu.
The neighbor called him Peekaboo.
So I was like, oh, Pikachu.
Pikachu.
He's in this nice eight pointer.

(03:31):
I think he's a nine.
But it's hard to tell off the photo.
It looks like there's justlike this little bit of a kicker
on the front of it.
But other than that, that'sthe only one.
He's a nice eight pointer.
I think if you were going toscore him, you'd probably score 120.
Okay.
In that ballpark, maybe.

(03:52):
Nice.
And other than that, we've hadsome EHD problems for it sounds like
we haven't seen reallyanything great since like June, July.
Oh, geez.
And we just haven't reallyseen much on camera.
I don't know.
My hopes for this season arealways still high.

(04:15):
You never know.
The rut always just makesthings just where deer can come from
miles away and come on your property.
You just don't know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But my dad was kind of questioning.
He's like, why are you goingout there in the woods trampling
around this and that?
I said for a couple reasons.
One, and it's going to getinto tonight's topic of like being

(04:37):
prepared for hunting seasonand stuff like that.
Yeah.
But I was like, I want to getthese up.
I have a saddle.
Saddle way of hunting now so Ican more mobile.
So I want to get these up inthe tree and stuff like that.
And I want to do it todaybecause I'm not going to be out tomorrow
on.
On Monday.
And yeah, like 85 today.

(05:00):
Today meaning Sunday.
And tomorrow on Monday isgoing to be like 83.
So I'm not going to go outMonday for hunting in the afternoon
because it's just going to beso hot.
So I just.
I want to get it done now andout the way.
I thought I was prepared,wasn't prepared, and now just get
this kind of like as much doneas I Kind of can now.

(05:21):
Yeah.
Before like the rut startskicking in in the late part of the
season of archery season.
So that's why I want to get itdone and out the way now.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
No, definitely, man.
I've, I've had stuff, youknow, for years, set up stuff that
I gotta, you know, go in andcheck up on and make sure it's still
good.
And then, you know, I'msaddling it too.

(05:41):
This year ahead of, I hadadded a set of eighters to my four
stick setup.
And man, dude, they're justtoo wobbly, man.
I, I, there's three of themand I get my first foot in it, I
get my second foot in there,and it wants the kick left or right
of the tree, and it's a painin the neck.

(06:03):
And I'm trying to get up, Iget up the tree, I get on my sticks.
I'm fine.
Once I get the sticks, I'm up there.
Then I got to come back down.
And when I come back down, Igot my lineman's rope around me and
I get down to that last stepand now I'm on the first step of
the eight or.
That's a pain in the ass.
I can't, I gotta loosen likethe, the lineman's belt all the way
up, get back enough where Ican get leveraged, like towards the

(06:26):
tree to get my foot there oneither side of the tree.
And then my foot gets tangledup and I end up like, the one day
I was like, kind of stuckagainst the bottom of the tree.
It was kind of funny becausethe, the lineman's belt was holding
me against the tree, but myleg was like, up here and I'm like,
oh, how I can't squat back up.
I managed to wiggle my footout and get it out.
So this morning I said, screw it.

(06:50):
I'm gonna give the eighters toDave because he likes them.
I'm just gonna mail them outto him.
And I bought an extra stick,just one more stick for the bottom.
So that'll get me up likewhere that aider was putting me before.
Because then I'll be about 16,17ft up and I'll be happy, happy,
you know, with that.
So it'll be good though, youknow, like I said, I'm hoping it's

(07:11):
supposed to, you know, Amazondoes that, like early drop off, so.
But it's coming as I'm goingout the door.
It's already there.
Yeah.
If not, I'll use the setupagain tomorrow morning.
And then you know, we'll do that.
So I'm looking forward to itbecause we also have rain coming
up on Tuesday.

(07:31):
It's gonna be.
Yeah, raining.
Yeah, rain most of, like,Monday night, like.
Like.
Like early.
Like, late.
Late night all the way up intoTuesday morning to late afternoon.
So I'm looking forward to that.
Yeah, I'll kind of get some ofmy scent out of there and like that.
But yeah, no, it's.
It's the star of the season,so y' all know what that means.

(07:53):
We kind of really don't haveany game plan for our shows unless
we.
We have a guest on.
I don't think our next guest isn't.
Or till November.
I kind of booked these out forthe Sundays in October for us on
a team, because we've kind ofhad some plans for our trip, stuff
like that.
But no, I just want to.

(08:13):
I know.
I want.
Tonight, I want to talk about preparation.
Yeah.
So I kind of got a little lateinto it with the saddle stuff because
I didn't get my saddle tillmid September.
Ish.
Right.
And so I got practice going upwith it.
And I'm just going to talkabout the saddle itself.
I'll get to the preparationstuff here in a second.

(08:35):
But I practiced getting up anddown with it, so I was looking great.
And I'm going to explain myOctober 1st opening day conundrum.
All right.
Ain't no different.
I got up and down in the tree.
What's the difference betweenthat and Holy, Michael's there.
I saw Michael in the comments.
I. I was just thinking this today.

(08:56):
Yeah.
You know, I haven't seen in a minute.
Michael.
Well, he's going throughpuberty, so maybe his eyes are wandering
to other podcasts.
Well, maybe.
I mean, hang on.
We.
We.
We do with everybody.
Well, we do with him a little harder.
But I was like, maybe he justdidn't like us with him anymore.
Maybe that's why he left us.
I don't know.

(09:17):
Like I said, it could be, youknow, other YouTube stuff he's looking
at.
You know, he forgot about uscool guys here.
Maybe some pornhub in it, too.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Maybe don't stay off thepornhub, Michael.
Yeah.
Geez, you're gonna lose an eye.

(09:38):
Don't do that stuff.
It stunt your growth.
Look at how short I am.
Oh, all right, hang on.
Let me finish this thing first.
And then someone made acomment on our Instagram that I.
I'm not going to Call him out.
But I think I know you know.
Because you commented on it too.
Y. Y.
And I'm not gonna call youout, but if you want to, we'll get
to that.

(09:58):
I ain't afraid of coming out.
So opening day comes, I haveall my gear.
I'm thinking, all right, I'mjust gonna go out there and climb
up the tree.
No, that didn't work.
So I have my bino harness.
I didn't practice climbing upthe tree with my bino harness.
That's hitting the steps.
That's getting in my way with my.

(10:20):
My.
Because I don't use thelineman's rope.
I just use a tether climbing up.
Okay.
And that's getting in the wayof that.
Then the sticks are there, andI'm like, I can't, like, lean into
them because my final harnessis right there.
And it just turned into, like,a giant show.
And then I was like, wait a minute.
I forgot to get my bow.

(10:41):
Like a bow polar hoisty majigithing set up.
So I don't have that.
Otherwise known as aretractor, but that's okay.
Yeah, I. I like to use hoistyMiggy thing.
Yeah.
Hey, do you guys have thathoisty majiggy thing Brett was asking
about?
Yeah.
We need to get some of themback in stock.
We need those in stock pronto.
Okay.

(11:03):
So I didn't have that.
And then I was thinking.
I was like, well, fuck, I don't.
I didn't bring, like, a littleportable handsaw just to cut some
stuff down just in case Ineeded it.
Right.
I was like, me.
So I said it.
I took all my saddle stuff down.
I put it down at the bottom ofmy 360 stand.
Yeah.
I just hunted it out of there.

(11:24):
And then that leads me intotonight's topic that I at least want
to talk down is preparation isas much as you think you're prepared,
you're not fully prepared.
No, you're not.
And it's hard to pre.
And it's hard to plan andprepare for things that you don't
know.
Like, for instance, maybe Icould have done a little more research

(11:46):
on the sal.
Stuff like, oh, wait, did Ihave that?
And stuff like that.
But I thought I was all set.
So you might be in thosesituations where you think, I have
everything that.
So that's all set in place.
Yes.
But if you are in thatsituation, I didn't do this.
And I always say to do it.
Yeah.
Take a second and just look ateverything that you've done and think
to yourself, are you sureyou're not missing something?

(12:08):
You should at least look ateverything and just think to yourself,
you're missing something.
Find it.
And I didn't do that.
And me missing that somethingwas the saddle stuff.
Getting that more.
Yeah.
Into game planning and gearpreparation and stuff like that.
Sure.
And you have to.
If you find yourself in thosesituations like I was in, like, I

(12:29):
felt like I was scrambling.
And granted, I didn't hunt.
I haven't hunted since last Wednesday.
Cause it's been so hot.
Yeah, it's.
Let's say you got.
Let's say you gotta get out.
You're gonna.
You wanna get back out onTuesday, the next day after opening
day or the day after, whatever.
Right.
You gotta be able to thinkquickly on your feet.
And luckily I have the bestfucking brothers and the best team

(12:49):
put together.
And they all were.
I'm like asking them questionsand they're like, all right, do this.
Here, here, here, here, here.
Here's a video for this.
Here's a video for that.
Check this out.
Do this.
You.
This might work for you.
Everyone's got these differentlittle things.
And I was like.
And you know, the weird thingis I didn't get overwhelmed.
I was like, oh, Squatch does this.
Here's this, this and this.
Johnny does this.

(13:10):
And oh, when you said here.
When you said another, youcalled and got videos from your.
I thought maybe you reachedout to like boondocks hunting or
something.
I didn't realize you meant us.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Nice.
Yeah.
I asked these guys like everystyle question that I could think
of.
And we're actually.
Me and Johnny were talking, sowe're going to try and get together

(13:30):
on Sundays and do like how tovideos like hey, do this and that.
And it's going to be greatbecause I'm going to be the guy that's
gonna be like, well, I don'tknow anything.
Tell me more.
Yeah, so you know, you say beprepared and duelist.
So this is my second yearsaddle hunting and I probably saddle
hunted last year.
May.
Okay.
I got places got fixed stands.

(13:52):
It's a lot easier thanscrewing around with playing with
the saddle stuff.
But I got it to basically goout to Ohio last year and start to
be versatile more around hereinstead of using a climbing stand
and spots.
So anyway, long story short, Ibought the ascender that has both
ways on it.
You know, it's made by RockMad rock.

(14:14):
It's got a break in it.
You could descend with it.
You Know all that stuffinstead of the Kong and whatever.
But I got in the tree, and I'musing the lineman's belt to carry.
And your lineman's belt has aprusik knot on it to cinch it closer.
The narrower the tree goes up.
You're supposed to suck it upso you stay tighter to the tree.

(14:34):
Well, using one hand andholding on to the tree with the other,
that is some pain in the neck, right?
And I told myself last year,you gotta buy another ascender for
that setup to hook to your carabiner.
And then as you get close, youjust pull it or you hit the other
side and it lets it slip out,and you don't have to fight with
it.
And what do I get up in the tree?
And I'm saying to myself, youforgot, didn't you?

(14:56):
So I kicked myself in the ass,and I said, all right, let me get
on Amazon.
Let me order this thing beforeI go up with Frank says, next day,
delivery.
Yeehaw.
Guess what?
It didn't come.
So I had to freaking do theold way again.
This time when I went outthen, I had trouble with the aiders,
you know, and it's on me, man.
I got them right before season.
It looked like a legit thing.

(15:17):
I thought it was going to workout pretty good.
And it just kicks me right inthe old keister.
I'm fat, I'm 50 years old, andI got tree trunks for legs that are
short and stubby and ain't forme, man.
I'm like, you know, I got toget another stick.
So it's coming tomorrow, hopefully.
Like I was reiterating before,and yes, I'm also going down that

(15:40):
path of getting more organizedthe further I get into the season,
you know, and it's okay.
I've only, you know, three orfour hunts already.
Everything else is great,though, that, you know, the.
The.
When I went up there, I'm feel good.
I'm feel comfortable in the saddle.
The platform's good.
Frankie liked my sticks.
He was like, man, these thingsare so light, man.
I. I like these.

(16:01):
I'm like, yeah, it's kind ofwhy I went with them.
And the way they stowtogether, they're cool, you know?
So, yeah, I just bought anextra stick.
I don't care if it's another pound.
I'm pretty stocky, you know, I can.
I think I can handle anotherpound, but make my life easier, especially,
you know, I. I don't need toslip and get hurt, man.
I'm just, you Know, they'llfind me out there, like, in the fetal

(16:24):
position, screaming.
Probably have a possum as afriend soothing me or something out
there.
So, you know, I don't need all that.
Then I got to come back on theshow and tell you guys I'm all busted
up.
Yeah.
Even an eye patch and everything.
Oh, yeah.
You wake up in a ditch with aneye patch.
Do you leave your.
Do you have sticks out therelike I did?

(16:46):
So I'm fortunate enough like,the spot that I hunt.
I grew up there, kind of, soI've got cameras running all over
the place, so I kind of watchwhat happens around there.
The best thing I do, Brett, isI take a stick out and I leave the
rest up the tree.
So I got to come in with onestick, just, you know, wrap around
a tree and go up, and I leavemy set.

(17:06):
I'll pick a spot, then I'mgonna hunt for a couple days straight.
I'll leave my set in.
I've gone as much as like,probably like a week, week and a
half with a set in a tree.
Had it rain.
I will tell you something.
That am steel, that's thediameter of a paracord, is some impressive
stuff.
And I'm £245.

(17:27):
I can get on that after it rains.
It hasn't stretched, it hasn't moved.
Everything's just as solid asI left it.
And I'm very impressed withthe way that stuff works.
Plus, it's super lightweight.
And I know you were checkingout the.
The xop.
I don't remember the name, butit's like a cinch.
It's got a prusik nut on it.
You just cinch to.
Yeah, the HFAs.
I have that for the.

(17:48):
I like that.
I like that.
I might have to get themmyself because, yeah, I already got
that diameter cord, but I'mjust going through a cleat, like
making an X pattern, and thenwrapping around.
But it would be cool to justloop, loop, and then cinch that tight
to the tree, and you're done.
It just.
I'm all about speed, speed andefficiency and, you know, lightweight
and speed.

(18:09):
Yeah, yeah.
Speed.
Speed.
Speed is king.
Speed is king.
It's like, you know, if youcan get in, because, you know, sometimes
you're running late, you know,and you get your stuff, and it's
dark, you know, I got a nicered headlamp.
I got the same one, actually,Dave bought.
He.
He showed me that.
I was like, oh, I'm gonna get that.
Hey, Johnny's here.

(18:30):
Oh, Johnny.
Hey.
Subd.
Sorry, just.
Johnny, what is going on?
All right.
I don't know.
We want the low down.
Did you get one or not?
With the daughter?
Nope, we didn't get one.
But she.
We saw an owl.
So she was hooting at the owl,talking with that.

(18:50):
Oh, yeah.
And then she was feeding the deer.
She was pulling bark off the tree.
Nice.
Breaking it up and throwing itto him to try to get them in.
But dude, she had a blast, man.
And that's all I count.
Yeah, no, it's important.
That's what she's going toremember the most, is being out in
the tree stand with you andhaving fun.

(19:12):
Dude.
Absolutely.
While we're on that, not tointerrupt, but I gotta tell you this
story and it's funny and it's gross.
Little young kid.
My dad and I are in this bigwood stand that we built together.
I was just getting over a coldand you know, you're your old man,
you're serious with your old man.
Your old man's serious.
He's giving you that stonecold look while you're in the stand

(19:33):
fidgeting around.
It was cold out and stuff, youknow, and I was starting to get to
my wise ass mode.
My.
My years growing up.
So I look at him and I'm like, what?
He's like, huh?
I go, my nose.
I get a booger and I go.
And I ate it.
He's like, oh, my God.
He's like, you did not.
And I'm like, yep.

(19:54):
We were laughing.
He was laughing.
And he'll never, you know,he'll still to this day, he'll bring
it up, you know, Remember thatfreaking timer up in the stand?
You ate that booger.
I'm like, yeah, Yep, sure do.
Your old man was like, I can'tbelieve you were 35 when you did
that.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I was like, I think I waslike 14 maybe or something.

(20:14):
But it was funny.
Flipped them out.
I'll take my kids out just tosubmerge them in that environment.
Get them out there, let themsee the woods, you know, tonight.
Let them see some of theanimals going to bed, some of the
other ones coming out.
I was hoping to see some coonsor a fox or something like that,
you know.
But where was the turkeys?

(20:35):
I thought they've been adifferent spot.
Nope, that was a different spot.
And I told her, I was like,you know what?
I bet you seven o' clock we'llhave turkeys on the shell.
Camera.
Seven o' clock.
Came around And I swiped down.
I had five does on it.
I was like, oh.
She's like, are those.
Is that live right now?
I'm like, yeah.
That was like, two minutes ago.
She said, no way.
Like, yeah, so they're out here.

(20:57):
She's like, are they comingthis way?
Yep.
Who knows?
I've been talking to Moultrie,and I've got them almost down to
getting where you can teleportto where the deer is on your trail.
Camera now.
It's a new option.
Oh, my God, dude, you have noidea how much I'd pay for that.
Especially when those gianteights I have come out, dude.

(21:18):
I'm just like, what?
I've got three of them now.
I'm just like, oh, my God.
I mean, Brett won't get thisone because he doesn't like the movie.
But why did somebody else tellme my ass was so big?
It sounds funny.
It's off of Spaceballs when itgets teleported.
Stupid movie.

(21:38):
No, it's not, dude.
All right.
I got my kids today to watchMonty Python and search for the Holy
Grail.
Oh, my God.
And, dude, they laughed.
Like, that's one of thegreatest movies, right?
Their favorite part wasprobably to kill a rabbit, dude.
It was so.
I'd say super troopers.
Yeah.

(21:58):
Super tripper, maybe for your generation.
Yeah, yeah, That's a millennial.
Came out your generation too,you nugget.
Yeah, but I have good taste in comedy.
Oh, funny.
Yeah, but it doesn't compareto Mel Bronnie.
Python.
No, no.
You just.
No, dude.
So, yeah, speaking of money.

(22:20):
Python.
One of the greatest ones.
The Life of Brian.
Yeah, I've seen it years ago.
Yeah, like, watching thatmovie and how they depict religion
is just so hysterical.
It's.
They just take, like,everything and kind of like.
And just throw it upside down.
Oh, dude, they do.
And I love it, man.

(22:41):
Last I checked, this washaunting show.

Brett sucks.
Right over the back.
I, I, I attempted.
I was even willing to breakthe family law to do it.
I wanted to dough that bad, dude.

(23:04):
But, hey, God said, nope,we're all right.
And at the end of the day, Iwas just happy I didn't wound her.
I was so happy I didn't woundher because I rushed that so bad.
That was just.
That was next level beginnershit of just pure idiotic idiocracy.
Here's a question.
Do you ever practice thoserush shots?

(23:26):
I do like getting right thereand I having to do it really quick.
Yes.
Not only that, but standingwith your back to the target, spinning
around, drawing, and seeinghow fast you did a dead arrow off
into that chill zone.
I haven't practiced that way,so I.
Do that a lot.
And I'll do it where I havelike a 6 inch hole cut out of one

(23:48):
of my targets.
I'll put it out and that's thehole that I'm aiming for.
And I'll spin around and I'lldo some jumping jabs or a couple
pushups or something just toget that heart elevated or the heart
rate elevated.
Pick up my bow, put therelease on it, have the arrow on
there, turn around, and I tryto get the shot off within three
seconds.

(24:08):
So.
It'S to practice that highstress shoot that you might have
to, you know, like you, youhave that dough coming in and you
have to, you have split secondto make that choice if you're in
taker or not.
And just.
It's not something you canpractice the first week of season
and then be proficient at it.

(24:29):
Oh, that takes time.
Yeah.
It's not something to go like,all right, I'm gonna practice it
today, I'm gonna go do thattype of style of hunting tomorrow.
Yeah, no, if you haven't beenpracticing like we have, then you
can't really.
Do that, especially spot tonight.
I mean, you practice your,your long game for your golf, but

(24:51):
I practice.
More with the, the saddle,those suction cap bows and arrows.
Oh, yeah, Suction cup.
Suction cup.
Yeah.
With a suction cup arrow.
Yeah, I practice with those.
Okay.
Yeah, the Nerf.
One.
That's because the last timeyou shot your eye out with the real
ones.

(25:12):
That's a good movie.
No, so getting back back towhat you were saying, what you're
being preparedness there, youknow, I mean.
Yeah, just it.
And it's going to take time.
Like it's with saddle huntingor just anything.
I think you also just need tomake sure to take the time to really
evaluate what you got.

(25:32):
And you're not gonna know,like I said, you're not gonna know
if you're fully prepared.
You might think that youreally are.
And then like I thought I was.
Then you went out in the woodsand then your ass gets handed to
you and you're like, fuck, no,you're not even close.
And now you gotta like re stepeverything and reevaluate everything
and you just gotta be able toadapt and overcome and not freak

(25:53):
the out, but it's.
And just adjust to it and move.
On, you know, with the saddle,everything's like, by the number.
You know what I mean?
It's like, yeah, you know, everything.
If you have a system, once youget it down, it's like, okay, I have
to start my sticks and makesure everything's secure.
And then my lineman's ropehooks to that loop, and I'm secured

(26:15):
to the tree.
Now, and you go up step by step.
And, you know, now, okay, Igot to set my platform, have it up,
set, cinch it tight, then layit down, make sure it's set.
Now you swing up into the platform.
You're.
You're taking your bridge andyour tether, and then you hook to
your bridge.
Make sure your bridge isattached to your saddle.

(26:36):
Give it a little test bumpbefore you disconnect from your lineman's.
Take your lineman's off, Tuckit in the pocket, nice and neat.
Pull your bow up, set.
You know, you got to set yourhook up first.
Pull your bow up.
I've got that ring of hooks,so I put that around the tree, and
I hang my pack on it.
Get your camera gear out, setit up.
You know, everything's got anumber, everything's got a place,

(26:57):
and the same thing.
When you get back down, it'sjust reversed and.
Yeah, you know, it's.
You watch it on tv and it'slike, these guys look like spider
monkeys, and nothing's hard,but it's all cut out.
It's, you know, super simple.
And they're not showing youall the bull crap you got to go through,
you know, and it's like, hourof editing.
Yeah, you see on those videos,too, where it's like, well, all right,

(27:19):
for demonstration.
Demonstration purposes, we'rejust gonna do this point.
No, I want you to show meeverything from start to finish.
Yeah, Like, I want.
Like, so how are you doing this?
I want to see what are youdoing this?
And stuff like that.
And.
And don't like.
I hate watching those videos.

(27:40):
That's why I want to do my ownwith Johnny and be like, no, you're
gonna see every little aspectof it.
Not just.
All right, for demonstrationpurposes, to save time, we're gonna
see.
We're gonna start from this point.
No, how'd you get to that point?
Not only that, but you get tosee like.
So we're talking about.
You're see errors.

(28:01):
Exactly.
You're gonna see what happens.
But for me, right, you guysall set your stitch.
Climb up, set Another stitch.
I do a single stitch climb.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I don't know how manytimes I've dropped my stick while
trying to set it and reacharound and set it in or as I'm bending
down to grab it to pull itback up, I'll drop it.

(28:22):
And I'm like, well okay, I'vedone that once.
How am I going to fix thisissue in the past, you know, in the
future?
So it's, it's all trial anderror and I've gotten pretty proficient
with it.
And I mean I, I am comfortablewith all of my gear and I mean you,
you can tell also.
And I'll try different sticks.

(28:44):
I've got, I think I have fiveor six different types of sticks
that I've used.
Yeah.
And I have the stick that mytrusty one that I go to anytime and
if I'm hunting a differentarea sometimes I'll grab another
stick.
But I mean I know ETSOPIA is ahuge sponsor of our show and we got
hooked up with a lot of theirdeer and I use a lot of it.

(29:05):
But still for the stick thatI'm using right Now I'll use SOP,
the ETS 2s.
But my favorite stick is thisdude, the Muddy Pro.
And it's just got that roperight here.
And this is great for singlesticking it.
This is.
Oh absolutely.
And that way when I'm tying itonto a tree, I just loop it around

(29:27):
the tree and lock it in andthen you're golden.
Then I have the AM steel likeyou were talking about.
I have a one step aider andthat's all I need.
And you're talking about howyou can run them in the rain and
keep them out there for acouple days?
Yeah, dude, I'll run mine.
They'll be wet, they'll befrozen and I had no issues with them.

(29:52):
And one time I was like, wellthis is like you were saying, it's
the same diameter as Paracordor 550 cord.
And I tried using paracord onetime and it's too stretchy.
It will stretch out.
It's meant to give a little bit.
Yes.
This dam still, it doesn't, itdoesn't give, it doesn't slack.
I mean it does not stretch.

(30:14):
No, not at all.
And I absolutely love that.
And I think with so Johnny,like I said with Johnny and I've
been talking, we like on somedays we're going to be trying to
get together and we're goingto do like how to videos with mainly
Focusing on, on saddle stuffand whatnot.
Because obviously this is myfirst year doing it.
He's been doing this for Xamount of years now.

(30:35):
And Squatch is going intosecond year.
So you're gonna see a lot ofvideos here coming up into next year.
Just a bunch of what if.
Because my brain is alwayswondering like, what if you do this,
what if you do that type of situations.
And one of my scenario, one ofmy questions to you been like, well,
Johnny, what happens if you,you moved up now you're reaching

(30:58):
back and you dropped your stick?
What happens then?
There's a lot of what ifscenarios that I like.
I think that I can bring ofasking type of questions that you
don't see in a lot of how tovideos that we can, we might not
know the answer right away.
And we like, hey, you knowwhat, what if you did this?
Yeah.
What if you could hear?

(31:18):
What if you move this likehere and there?
And like Johnny's got one way.
I'm like, well, hey Johnny,what if you cut this right here and
a bunch of different scenarios.
Oh, that's what I'm lookingforward to it.
Did I show you how I hit how Iset the camera up on my, my carabiner?
Yeah.
So I have that C clamp, Iclamp it on there.
I have that insta360 and I, Iused the, the Brave 7 on there last

(31:41):
year too.
It works fine.
But what's really cool aboutthat, once you get it kind of aimed
down at the direction you'regoing to be shooting, it don't really
matter.
With the 360, I'm talkingabout the Brave.
If you use that or a GoPro.
If you swing this way or thatway, your carabiner is automatically
panning where you're going.
So when you take the shot,you're on target, it stays right
with you.

(32:02):
And I just, I, well, I wasbored, man.
I was sitting there in thetree and I'm like, I bet that'll
fit on there.
And I bet it'll pan if I won'thave to touch it.
Except for turn it on.
If I turn it on, I can speakto it and just say start recording
and it'll start recording.
But with that insta360 nowyou're getting the whole view of
what is going on.
You'll see me drawing back.
You'll see me shooting a deer.

(32:22):
And in editing, I can pantowards me, I can pan back towards
the shot.
I can zoom in on the shot.
So it's that camera's prettycool, man.
I can't wait to, to mess with it.
I, I, I did all the video inwhen I was out the other day, just
with my cell phone and I, Iput a short up on my YouTube channel.
I just, I had saw a reallynice eight pointer in the morning.

(32:43):
He was working a licking branch.
And then the woods erupted.
I had does all around me up there.
So I just took some quickfootage of, you know, does walking
by right in do range, youknow, bow range, doe range, bow range.
But it was, it's just too hot.
I didn't want to rush, youknow, trying to cut a deer up somewhere.
I'm not used to being.
And, you know, I, it's, it's okay.

(33:04):
I got time.
And I'm not, I'm off all thisweek and part of next week.
So I'll be out, you know, I'llbe doing my thing, you know, I'm
after, I'm after a good one.
So.
She said something that mademe think of what I did today when
I was out in the woods.
And I can't believe I did it either.
I'm still surprised.
I don't even know what made methink of doing it, but just something
got in my brain.

(33:25):
I did a mock scrape.
Really?
Oh, my God.
I did a mock scrape.
I fucking can't believe it.
Good.
I was just, I was, I wasfinishing up with my tree on the
very first one there.
And I was walking out and Ihappened to look back and I was like,
wait a minute.
Yeah.
And I saw this, this onelittle small sapling tree, and it

(33:48):
just had like, these two.
The way it was just hangingwith these two branches there.
I was like, oh, oh, theselittle mock grapes that people do.
That'd be, that seems likeit'd be a golden area.
Perfect.
Just knock this one branch offand the one above it would be perfect
and move some stuff around.
And I took my little handsawand I just cut up into the ground

(34:10):
and just made this nice littlecircle there.
And yeah, my scrape out there.
Did you pee in it?
No, I didn't have to pee.
I thought I, I was like, allright, once I'm done here.
And I was like, wait a minute.
I don't have to pee.
Yeah, I usually do that.
I'll just pee in them.
I thought about peeing in it, though.
That was the first thing.
When I finished doing it, Iwas like, all right.
Squatch said pee in it.

(34:30):
He pees in his.
So.
But wait a minute.
The bellies, the tank's full.
The tank's empty.
I mean, so.
Well, the other day when I putmy first setup out where I was after
that one buck, the tree that Ialways see him go by on my camera,
there was a perfect limb, likeyou said.
It was just about the right height.
I said, you know what?
I, I got the, the rat getter rope.
It's got the wooden, thewooden balls on it to hang down.

(34:54):
I had one of them from Gerard.
Makes some really great stuff.
And right there took it outand I had, I had the stuff, you know,
I put, I put the ruts up on it.
That's what I put on it.
Ruts up.
Because that's all I had.
I got to get more stuff from Gerard.
But I, I put that on it andbelieve it or not, it took a day
or two.
I had some does go by.
A buck was following the does.

(35:15):
And then I caught him workingthat, that rope.
So you know, like I said, man,it's, it's little things that make
all the difference.
And you know, you got tobelieve in the products you're using
too.
If, if it, if it's going towork, it's going to work for you.
And that, that's a really goodproduct, man.
It's good.
And actually he, he was in thecomments before he said hello.

(35:36):
It's nice to see him join the show.
We got our regular guys out there.
We got the blind hunter.
Shane as always.
We got Mike.
We had Justin on beforeFlavors of the Forest.
Nice to see all these guyskeep continuing to support us and
show their faces on here as always.
But we love everyone out there.
You said somebody you wantedto talk about something somebody

(35:57):
said.
I was just getting ready totalk about that.
I was trying to look up the comment.
Okay.
All right.
So we made.
I posted a video of Squatchtalking about how, how he shows respect
to the animal by breathing in.
Can you.
How about you just explain Squatch?

(36:19):
Just explain what you, whatyou do.
No problem.
So every, it's.
It's something I learned along time ago.
There was a fella that was onthe Outdoor Channel or something
when it was back on satellite.
I, I can't even tell you theguy's name, but he was American Indian.
I'm also have American Indianblood in me.
And he did a ritual withgiving the last rites to an animal.

(36:42):
And you pick the head up, youjust kind of like grab the snout.
You don't put your lips up toit, but like you just kind of breathe
in real deep and then pointYour head up and just blow out.
And that's Indians.
What they're saying is you're,you're breathing in the soul of the
animal and then releasing himback to the surroundings.

(37:03):
You know, you're givingthanks, you're, you're acknowledging
that that deer died for you.
He made the ultimate sacrificefor you to enjoy, you know, his food,
his bounty.
And then I also take the woundblood and I always mark.
What the American Indians didwas always mark the blood on their
face to show respect for thatanimal, that they wore the blood

(37:24):
of that animal in a, in a, ina, a, you know, or if it was in a
fight or anything, you know,they did that to show respect.
And it's just something that Ialways do.
People who hunt with me, ifyou're around me, I ask out of respect
for the animal, please do thesame thing and you'll be blessed
to get another deer the next year.

(37:45):
And I also take a minute, Ibow over the deer, you know, I, I
rest my hands on the deer, Isay a prayer for the deer, and I
just thank the Almighty foranother year and another animal.
And I.
There's just too many peopleout there to either think it's stupid,
they don't get it.
And we had a comment and theguy's like, oh, well, I think he.

(38:06):
Says, you can respect theanimal by not wasting any piece of
it.
Not that weird shit.
I'm not going to say your nameon here, but if you care to, to look
at the comments, you can go dothat yourself on our Instagram page.
But yeah, they, theycommented, you can respect the animal
by not wasting any piece of it.
Not that weird shit.
Now, I do not waste, I try notto waste my grandfather, I've told

(38:30):
you, got my backgrounds, I'm athird generation butcher here and
you know, we were taught theproper way to take the meat off an
animal.
You know, of course, somethingI can't use, I mean, I'm sorry it's
going to go in the garbagefell, but anything that's edible,
that's usable, I try to either clean.
You see, my European mountsbehind me.

(38:51):
I try to even respect theanimal by doing that myself.
If I can give a hide to one ofthe nations or somebody that takes
them and makes moccasins orsomething out of it, let them do
that.
You know, I've done stuff likethat too in the past.
But I listen, you're not.
If you hunt alongside of me,you'll see the respect that I have
for the animals.

(39:11):
And now everyone's gonna have,like, their own.
Yeah.
Way of showing.
That's just how, as hunters, we.
I have my way of.
Of showing respect to the animal.
And as hunters, I don't thinkthere's any one of us that would,
like, judge or anything of,like, that how one hunter shows respect
to deer, because we all knowthat's their way of doing it.

(39:34):
Might be.
Might be.
That might not be the way thatI do it.
Right.
But it's.
At the end of the day, it'simportant that we show respect to
this animal that we harvested.
And I think majority of allhunters, we all pray over the animals
that we harvest.
I know one thing that I try todo, I don't do it every time, but
I'll just sit there.

(39:55):
I do pray over it every time, though.
I do that, But I'll just sitthere kind of, like, on my knees,
and just, like, my shins,like, laying, like, there and typing,
like, sitting there like this,and I just kind of, like, say a prayer
as I'm doing it, and then Istart, like.
Like, wafting in, like, thistype of motion, and then just like.

(40:15):
Yep.
And just kind of like that.
Yep.
That's just something I do.
But, you know, there'ssomething to be said about once you
harvest a deer, going up andlaying your hand on it.
Like, you're that first personto ever touch that deer.
Yeah.
Like.
And that's.
I didn't even think of that.
I was telling that to mydaughter tonight, and I was like,
you know, when you get a deer,no one has ever touched that deer

(40:39):
before.
So when you harvest thatanimal, you.
You are laying your hand on itfor the very first time.
That deer has never beentouched by a human before.
And she's like.
She, like, you touch.
She thought about it for aminute, and she's like, well, like,
wanted to say something.
Like, well, what about.
What about this?
Or what about inside?
She, like, learned.

(40:59):
She said, you're absolutely right.
Like, no one will ever touchthat deer.
Like, you're the first personto lay your hands on that animal.
You know, it's funny.
Sorry to cut you off.
It's funny.
There was a time that I was alittle extreme about how much respect
for the animals that I had.
My brother put a Santa Claushat on one of the mounts, and I was

(41:21):
like, get it off.
And he's like, what?
I'm like, that deer did notdie to be mocked, to have some stupid
Santa Claus had on it in this house.
I said, take it off.
And he's like, you gotta bekidding me, man.
I'm like, I ain't joking.
I'm like, that mount, That's abeautiful buck that you got.
You were lucky.
You didn't even put in as manyyears as I did, and you shot that

(41:42):
buck.
I was like, don't freaking letme see that again.
And he's like, calm down, man.
And, you know, thinking backnow, I was probably a little.
You know, I was a littleextreme because, you know, I was.
But that's how pissed off I was.
I.
You know, I. I just.
And that's.
That's another thing, youknow, people say, oh, they're not
your deer.
Yes, they freaking are.

(42:03):
They're my deer.
I watch them from the timethey're born.
Whether they die by me orsomebody else, they're still my deer.
I watch them.
You know, I.
God made them.
He put them in front of me to see.
I build a relationship withthese animals, and I'm so into them.
They're a part of me, you know?
And it's.
When somebody else smokes one,it hurts, man.

(42:24):
I'm gonna just say it like that.
But I say, congratulations.
I get over it, and I move on.
But, yep, those deer are apart of me, man.
I mean, you know, it sounds stupid.
Like, people like, oh, yeah,there was a time when guys didn't
name their box and they justwent out, shot deer at a wooden tree
stands.
Well, you build relationshipwith deer.
And you, like, we watch themon camera.

(42:46):
Like, we don't.
Like, it's buildingrelationship with each year.
Yeah, you.
It's like watching wrestlingand not having your favorite wrestler,
but you watch wrestling.
Yeah.
You know, I mean.
Or like, that's my favorite team.
And.
Yeah, come on.
You know, it's like, no, dude.
I'm that crazy into this thatI get into it.
I'm a nut.
I'm a freaking nut.

(43:06):
I. I go out and I'll say, youknow, oh, the big nine.
Or, you know, I had.
I had Mr.
Perfect last year and Clydeand all these deer, man.
And I'm like, you know, you just.
You just, like, every timethat phone, this phone goes but ding.
And I see that M from Moultrie.
I'm like, maybe it's him, you know?
Oh, my God.
And I. I go, not.

(43:27):
I'll wake up at, like, threein the morning.
It goes off.
I hear.
I'm like, oh, who's.
Who's moving right now?
Who's.
Where am I going in the morning?
I'm a psycho, dude.
When it comes to this stuff.
And, you know, that's my level.
My level of loving what I do.
I'm into it 150 millionpercent that I will name, dear.

(43:47):
I will be upset when somebodyshoots another buck, But I'll get
over and congratulate them.
And yes, I have a personal relationship.
And when I kill that suckerthat I've been after.
You ever watch dog to bounty hunter?
He's all amped up.
He's like, ah, you mother effort.
Blah, blah, blah.
Kick your ass, boy.
And he's like, here, have a cigarette.
Let me help you, you know,into the jail.

(44:09):
Hey, man, I'm sorry we're so roughly.
That's kind of like me.
I'm dog that goes after you.
I'm gonna kill you when I getyou on the ground.
I feel remorseful.
I'm sorry, but I'm thankful.
And, you know, that's me.
I'm a. I'm a living,breathing, hunting machine lunatic.
And that's.
That's the only way I can put it.
And I love what I do.
I love who I hang out with andwho I hunt with and surround myself

(44:33):
with.
And, you know, it.
It.
It says a lot.
It says a lot.
I mean, when you see somebodytake the extra couple and I won't
even cut the deer.
I won't gut them.
I won't touch him until I givehim his last right.
I pray over him.
And it's funny, my.
The.
The kid I call my son Corey.
We were up in the mountains.

(44:54):
I never went up there.
Those two bucks that arebehind me, I shot him 30 minutes
or 30 seconds apart.
I thought I missed the first one.
I didn't.
Anyway, his friends are there.
We come out with the two deer,and I kneel down on the trail, and
I thank almighty God.
And I said, thank you, youknow, and they're like, what's he

(45:14):
doing?
Corey's like, you see that?
He's like, yeah, what's he doing?
He's like, that's why thatdude's so successful in the woods.
And they're like, no kidding?
He's like, he doesn't ever notdo that, you know, and it's.
It's.
I. I feel grateful that I wasable to pass that on and teach him
that and, you know, whoeverelse is there, but they just couldn't

(45:35):
believe it.
They're like, what.
Why is he doing that?
What's.
What's that all about?
It's called respect, bro.
Yeah, I'm old school.
I was taught things aren't,you know, you you just don't walk
in the woods and use what'sthere and then take a crap and then
walk out and just.
No, you know, there's.
There's a meaning for all that.
There's reasons why you seewhat you see and experience what

(45:56):
you experience.
It may not be even killing a deer.
You're just chilling out,you're relaxing.
Maybe you're getting thatdowntime you need to recharge.
You're listening to all thedifferent stuff going on.
People with their annoying assleaf blowers for hours just going
on while you're trying to off.
We.
We have helicopter tours.

(46:17):
Now that it's falling, I got a.
Jump plane that flies over allthe time.
So we have helicopter tours.
And they'll hover right abovethe trees where I hunt.
I'm like, oh, my God.
And it's like every 35 to 40minutes, they're flying different
people out and they'll flyright over my spots.
And I'm like, son of.
Like, do.
Do they see me or what?

(46:38):
Like, they're just like.
There's been times where I'llhunt a different spot and they'll
fly.
You know, the power lines areall cut and clear cut, and they'll
fly the power lines andthey'll just sit there and hover.
I'll look out and I'll likewave up to them and they'll.
They can clearly see me, dude.
And they'll wave down.
I'm like, well, I'm gonna sit here.
Because it happens everysingle year.

(46:58):
And the deer are never phasedby it.
They're just like, yeah, whatever.
They'll take off and the deerwill come out.
Yeah, I mean, mine is theneighbors to the south.
They have.
They'll ride their dirt bikeor four there and they'll be going.
I remember because it wasgetting towards the rut too, and
they were just going to.
You need to hear it go away.

(47:18):
Then you come back and thenyou just hear him going, oh.
I'm like, shut the up.
You're gonna make me want tojump out of this tree, man.
I'll say this as a last point.
We kind of close out for tonight.
Yeah.
So I will say this, though,like I said, so we only do shows
on Sundays during the hunting season.

(47:41):
You catch the Frank and Squatshow on every other Tuesday.
And the mysteries the Timbersevery other Tuesday.
Johnny's first show is goingto be Tuesday the 28th.
Make sure to stay up on the.
On our calendar to see whenshows are going to be and what not
be.
But here during the huntingseason because we, we're.
We've put a lot of time intothe actual.

(48:04):
The, like the.
I want to say the actual live show.
But like during the off seasonwe're putting a lot of work into
our stuff as well.
And we.
So we kind of want to enjoythis time with our friends and family,
but we also still want to makesure that we're kind of pushing out
stuff for you guys and hearhow we're doing.
And we kind of just want tosit back, relax and just talk to
mainly and leave the nonhunting season, get guests on and

(48:27):
talk to them and stuff like that.
But another point I won't dowant to make one thing.
I did notice I said this acouple episodes ago or maybe one
thing.
I see it was like two years ago.
I think it was the biggestthing that was pissing me off the
most.
And it was so hard not to justlay into these when I'd see them
taking pictures of like themwith the deer, like, and they were

(48:50):
laying next to it and they'retaking a selfie like, hey, me and
so and so.
And their head is up and thisand that.
And then they'd.
That one was one of them.
And then another one was wherethey were taking it like, like a
beef stick or something towhere, like, hey, we're.
I'm taking you to where wefirst met.
I can't.
I, I don't know.
I, I see that type of.

(49:11):
And that just pisses me offthe most.
And I just want to like yellinto these.
I'm like, you don't need to bedoing that, man.
There's no room for that inthis type of culture that we're trying
to build here.
You're, you're, you'rediminishing the culture that we're
trying to build.
And it's not about that.
We're trying to use hunting asa way to provide for our family.

(49:32):
It's a way of how we want tolive our life.
It's a way of how God wantedus to do this and to provide for
our families.
And what you're doing by doingthat is basically a slap to the face
to us as hunters and thecommunity and the culture that we're
trying to build.
This is a family, this is abrotherhood, it's a sisterhood, whatever
the fuck you want to say.

(49:54):
And for you to do that type ofchildish makes me just.
If I, if someone was to comeon the show and I was to come find
out that you did make thosetype of posts.
I'm gonna call you out on thelive show.
I'm just gonna let you know now.
So that's it at that point.
But, yeah, there's my rant.

(50:14):
There's my how my.
And I, I. I'm a little pissedbecause I recorded my opening day
too, of the dose coming in andme shooting and missing and this
and that.
Then when I went to downloadit, something went wrong with the
files and it never downloadedso much.
I did all that, all that wor.
Getting all my out there andthis and that, and I'm like, I can't

(50:34):
even use any of it.
So I was pissed.
I had a whole coyote hunt thatwas really cool on, and I. I plugged
it in and it just.
The whole file and everything,it showed there was something there,
but we couldn't open the file.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
And I even got my buddy who'sa techie.
I'm like, come on, you canfigure this out.
He's like, it's gone, dude.

(50:56):
I'm like, don't tell me it's gone.
That was perfect footage.
And he's like, I'm sorry, it'snot there.
He goes, I can see where itwas, but it's gone.
And I'm like, bill Gates, youson of a.
Man.
But, yeah, man, like I said atthe end of the show, I can close
this out like always, but justwhen you're ready, bro.

(51:16):
Let me.
I do want to take another second.
Say thank you to everyone thattunes into our amazing show here
at White Televantage.
We love each and every one ofyou out there.
This is a brotherhood, so wemay poke fun at you and stuff like
that, but we hope you knowthat's all in good fun and love and
nature and stuff like that.
There's no ill intent behindit all.

(51:36):
We're just trying to be funand embrace who you are.
Like, I saw this video of thiscomedian who's got autism, and he's
up there, like, shaking thisand that, and he goes.
And he's embracing.
And he goes, loosen the mother.
Loosen the up, guys.
Like, I have autism.
Just, like, I accepted it.
Why can't you?
And this and that.
I just thought he was crackingme, dude.

(51:57):
Like, Blue.
Was it Josh Blue?
I can't remember his nameright now, but funny man.
Oh, he's funny.
He's got that messed up arm.
Like, he's, like, up there andhe's, like, shaking, and he's got,
like, this dark beard.
Yeah.
And.
Oh, my God.
I love that man.
Like, he's hilarious.
But yeah, I went off off topic there.
But just thank you to everyonethat downloads the show tunes into

(52:19):
our.
Means a lot to us.
I know we don't say that alot, but we really do love each and
everyone out there that's afan of the show.
It's part of the show andstuff like that.
Brotherhood.
You know what's really cool iswhen you update us, like recent downloads
and all of a sudden, like theystart popping up from across the
world and.
You'Re like, we had like 160downloads from England.

(52:41):
Yeah.
Crazy.
And that's just in this month cycle.
So I.
It, because I.
The place that I use, it givesme month increments if I want it,
or two months, three months,so on.
So just this month cycle ofSeptember was 160from England.
Nice.
So I was like, fuck, you got.
People around the world, honey.

(53:02):
That's because they can't huntover there.
They got to live through us.
No, but that's not.
Yeah.
So thank you to that.
We're excited for these newshows that we got coming up.
Before we close out.
Johnny, why don't you giveeveryone a little taste kind of a
little bit.
It's your show.
I don't want to get into it.
You tell us what your show isgoing to be about.
Yeah, of course, man.

(53:23):
So Mysteries in the timber, right.
This is going to be a play ondifferent disappearances of hunters
and people, mostly in likenational parks, kind of like the
missing 41 1, if you've.
Ever heard of that.
It's gonna be stories ofdifferent, basically campfire, spooky

(53:45):
stories that are true or that have.
That happened around or likefun facts that you don't know.
So the first episode is goingto be about a man from my area.
I. I grew up in this town.
Stephen Kubecki is his name.
And he went disappearing.

(54:05):
I'm gonna go into that.
What happened, what happenedafter he was found and the area that
he disappeared and all thelocal legends and the history in
that area, because a lot ofpeople don't know is Michigan has
its own triangle, kind of likethe Bermuda Triangles, the Lake Michigan
triangle.
And we're going to dive deepinto that.

(54:28):
Go the history of that, thehistory of the disappearances.
And Stephen Kubecki is a manthat I've dove deep on numerous times.
You know, different podcastshave covered his story and I'm hoping
to go a little bit deeper andbring in the fact that this is my
town that he disappeared in.
So I have a different insightthan anyone else has ever done.

(54:51):
That story I'm excited for.
And his show is going to beJanuary through December.
January through September.
You're going to catch his showthe fourth Sunday of.
