Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of I Tell You Hey. Can
I ask you, guys, what's with the media and the
pigeons on the plane? What? I saw it yesterday and
it's a flight out of Minneapolis going to Madison, and
it's it's pigeons on a plane and it's everybody flipping out.

(00:23):
But it was all over yesterday and I'm like, I
get it. It's topical. We had I mean, but we
we lined stuff up on the show, and it's like,
there's far more intriguing things going out in the world
than a bird on an airplane. And who who freaks
out over that? The people that freak out over that
shouldn't be flying. It's a bird, people, Yes, not a

(00:46):
snake on a plane. I know it's a pigeon. Yeah,
Well it's not a very good one. They should have
started with this one. And I know it's it's out
of Minneapolis and it goes it's a national story. I
know it's a pigeon and the disease feel creatures or
they can be, so that can inspire people to get scared,
but I don't think they're even thinking that it's not
gonna kill you. It's a freaking bird.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
The weird thing is people get so worked up about
birds when birds are flattering, fluttering around, especially if they're
within like one hundred feet of people.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
They freak out.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Because we have chickens, and people are super weird about chickens.
I don't know why, Like, if you're not used to chickens,
people would be very scared of them.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Chickens are just stupid, aren't they. I don't know, they're
kind of dumb.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
There may be a little more cunning than one would think,
but they're not really the brightest animals on the plant.
My brother is a he's a chicken farmer. Well, those
races organic. Oh they call it his chicken stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Are they egg chickens or they egg chickens.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Well, they become meat chickens at some point somebody comes
and buys them for the meat. Later. I don't think
it's supposed to be like the best meat. I don't
I'm talking out. This is out of my league here,
but I know he sells them to somebody who turns
them into soup or something like. When they're done, Yeah,
they're laying it. They're laying years.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
I feel like egg layers can be generally really generalizing here,
but they can be pretty pretty smart. But then when
you have like the meat birds that are just designed
and bread to grow really really fast.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
And then be eaten, those ones are so.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Dumb, so dumb because we raised meat.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
My brother will raise meat chickens usually like once a year,
and they're just dumb.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
I mean, if you don't have like the food.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
And water right there in the middle of their area
ready for them and open and easy to access, they'll
just sit there.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
You ain't do anything.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
So pigeons. Pigeons aren't really that stupid. I think they're
smart birds. They go to parks where there's food, and
they sit there in front of old people and they
feed them bread and stuff. They're left over popcorn and chips.
I think they're pretty smart.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
They're smarter than you think. Hawthorne has a coop full
of pigeons right now that he like uses for training
training pigeons people. No, he uses them to train his dogs.
But his dogs are like gentle, well one of them's
gentle and that the birds actually don't get hurt the
other one.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Have you asked the birds is this okay?

Speaker 3 (03:04):
I mean they seem fine?

Speaker 1 (03:07):
What what? What? Exactly do they do? So are they
posing a pheasants or something? Or are they posing some
kind of foul that you're looking for? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I mean, how do you teach a dog to bird
hunt if you don't have birds?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Well, don't you have dummies or something or like?

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Usually?

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, usually you might use like the corpses of the
ducks that you hunted at some point and then you
freeze them.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
We have a freezer full of birds.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I can only talk about this with the UBG crowd,
otherwise we'll get a bunch of hate emails.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Remember that's Sam san Severe No no, no, Greg Sweat.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Everyone wants to complain to our boss about me talking
about I don't know, real life people hunt.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Sorry, listen. If you want somebody who really offends people,
remember that's me. But you guys blow by it to
Sam about the most benign stuff ever.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, they're like, women can't talk about hunting over here.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
I didn't know women could vote.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Nobody cares.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
That's a joke for some of you that are just
filing in right now. I never listened before. So are
the pigeons that you have? Is that?

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Are those pigeons that they made the parking lot deal
with some of them. Yes, actually, now let's put it
into context. Is it Sam's is it your sorry? Is
it Hawthorne's grandfather? Who does this pigeon deal? So who
does this this thing in the parking lot where you're
trading pigeons like it's a drug deal or something.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
It's his uncle Joe, Uncle Jeez, Uncle Joe.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yeah, everyone's gotten Uncle Joe Joe.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Uncle Joe is also a He has falcons. He's a falconer.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
And so what is a falconer?

Speaker 2 (04:46):
He like trains, Yeah, he hunts with falcons. So he
goes and there he like hunts rabbits with falcons.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Wait wait wait wait wait wait, So you don't even
use a gun, just swooped down and yet it that's nature.
That is awesome. You don't even have to lift a finger.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, it's very impressive. And sometimes at family functions he'll
bring the falcons with him, or hawks or whatever it
is that he has. Sometimes they're hawks, I think, but
he'll bring them with him and they'll just like have
a little stand that they sit on and they just
look around and watch us.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Can we can we stop for just a second. What
do they what did the falcons get out of it.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Well, they don't hunt.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, but they get the hunt.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
They get to hunt, and they have a super easy
life and they hold on.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
But they don't get to eat what they bring home.
They're bringing the rabbit home for the person, right they
bring them.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
He absolutely lets them eat some of it. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh really yeah they not? Well, I no, I just
hold on. Now when you hunt, right, you go shoot
a pheasant, you don't let your dog eat it. Your
dog retrieves it and brings it back.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah. Birds are a little different, I think.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, so birds you what you you? What do? You
cook it up and have a dinner, have dinner with
this falcon, like sitting at your tables, like, okay, let's
enjoy the bounty of our harvest.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I think you just feed it like little pieces. You
probably like cut off little pieces and make it easy
for the bird, and then.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Like and then you get your stuff for you and
you bag it or whatever yea later. That's what can
you find out. I'm really interested in that.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Let's call him, let's just wake him up. I always
want to just wake someone up on the show.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Well we do kind of, yes, we just don't call
people typically it's rude. Yeah, dude, can you do that
with people? What be a falconer?

Speaker 3 (06:20):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (06:21):
No? No, no, you just get to hunt people, That's what
I'm saying. Just get a few of them. Find somebody
you don't like who needs drones anymore. Just get a
few falcons.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
And oh, have the falcons attack there.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yes, yeah, gosh, I don't know if they would do it,
because falcons, I don't know that they will hunt after
something that is much much, much larger than It's.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
All in the training. Dude. I had an eagle flying
above me once when I was hiking, and I'm like,
don't even think about it, because I must. I'm like,
you must have bad eyesight. I'm way bigger than you.
This isn't the way this is supposed to go down.
He kept circling. He was circling me.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Why.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
I know, he finally went and got a rat or something,
but I thought he was circling me. I mean, I
was literally scared him, Like this eagle looks like he
wants So he kept getting lower and lower and circling
and circling, And I'm going, are you do you need bifocals?
You need like glasses there's something wrong with you.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Maybe you were being followed by like a little rabbit
fox or something, so it was circling the fox.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
They fly to No, Wow, that's cool. They make anything
nowadays there on the ground flying rabid foxes a feback
in the day that. I don't know if they're rabbit
or not, but there's.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Nothing wrong with they Probably were rabbit, I can imagine.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, hence the trip to the doctor's office all the time.
I cleared that up. But well, I don't know if
it was cleared though I'm assuming it was. I eventually
got married. She hasn't complained, so.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
That's messed up.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Oh, I know it was. You didn't have to deal
with it. So back to the pigeons real quick.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
The pigeons on the plane.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Pigeons on the plane, Yeah, that's the big deal.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
People are so worked up about it. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
It is a unique thing. I mean, I don't know
that I've ever heard of them on a plane. I
don't fully understand how or why it happened.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
I would rather be on a pigeon on a plane
which can fly and maybe help in a certain situation
if something tragic were to.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Happen a pigeon.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Well, I don't tell the pilot. Hey man, your angle's
bad or something. I mean, may there may be some
purpose for the pigeons screaming babies. That's I'd rather be
on a plane with a pigeon than a screaming baity.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
I think these two pigeons that were on this plane,
I think it was two, Ye, they'll just if the
plane starts to go down, they'll just like fly up.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
To the top of the cabin.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
And that's what I was saying. It's like or they
go out on the wings and they grab on with
a little little little little talent things and then they
just pick up the planet of that. So I'm saying,
you're better off with pigeons and screaming babies.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, maybe we should make a cartoon like a Pixar
movie is one about pigeons on.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
The phone something about I know there's a cartoon about
pigeons or some kind of bird flying an airplane holding
its wings up and flying. Really it just like the
flund Stones or something. It may have been a Terard
act all. I don't remember.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
I've never heard of that.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
I think I may have just made it up. Yeah,
that's a good story. Thank you for listening to this
