Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Morning.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
Hey, who's this?

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey, this is Steve. How you don't I'm from Winchester, Virginia.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hey, very good Steve. What can I do for you?

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Yeah, nobody hunts anymore. I mean some people hunt, but
not like twenty years ago, thirty years ago, fifty years ago.
This is just my theory. Like you say, I mean,
we have domesticated almost all the animals, and nobody wants
to put anything down anymore because it's mean to put

(00:31):
a dog down or put anything down. If we hunted more,
I don't think any of this stuff would happen. I
just I think that it is a overpopulation thing. Can
I just my opinion?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
But can I was gonna say, listen, I mean you
sound like you sound like you're speaking on behalf of
a hunter. I am not, but the so I may
be wrong to disagree with you, but I don't feel
like there's been a at least in reading right. I
don't know about him practice, but I don't feel like
there's been a shortage of of hunters. I don't know

(01:05):
that everybody has stopped hunting, and I don't know that
anybody goes.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
I go, you, you, you get on the computer. There,
I'll learn in nineteen fifty, nineteen seventy, nineteen eighty, Let's
see how many how many people was hunting then, and
then see how many people hunts today according to the
hunting license.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
And just you sit on a computer.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Okay, I'm driving, so I can't do that.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
I'm driving the show.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's why. That's why, said Tyler. That's why. That's tyler.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Hey, but now let me let me let me ask
you this. Do you but I don't think so. The
other thing I was going to say is like, listen,
I don't want people taking their dogs out and just
and just putting them down.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
But I'm I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
And I'm not not they need to be put down?
Why not?

Speaker 3 (01:52):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:52):
No, it is a whole lot cheaper than something else.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Okay, but that's not a hunter that And listen, I
know that there are people that do that. I get that,
but but that's not that's not the normal everyday person.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
But like, like, hold on, years ago, how many people.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Excuse me, oh my god, you, oh my god, you,
oh my god.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
You oh my god. No no, but like like take
it no, you know, you know no, But aren't.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
There plenty of hunters who go out hunting and they
go deer hunting, and they'll they'll they'll like Hoby, they'll
kill a deer and all that. But he's also not
putting his putting his dog down that way.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Oh, he would still take him to a vet. Yeah,
so I know.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
I don't know that you could just clump all that together.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
I said, don't know if you could say that.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
That's what I say. I tell anybody that doesn't put
their own dog down or their own animal down, putting
it on somebody else to put your dog down. I
walk that dog. I took that dog outside the food.
I did whatever it did. And I don't have the balls.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I'm a pussy, Steve. No, I am a pussy. I
could never do that. I could never do that.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
And we're gonna be correct us here. I guarantee you
hope he's put an animal down. Oh okay, all right,
I would think that too.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
All right, Steve, take that back. Hope he's not a pussy.
Oh I lost him. I can't tell.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
