Episode 103: Bass Pro Shop

Episode 103: Bass Pro Shop

We converse about Bass Pro Shop.

1
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:11,400
Hey everybody, welcome back to a
record of my Father's Day.

2
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,159
We're going to be talking about
bass pro I recently they

3
00:00:15,159 --> 00:00:16,360
assessed.
Pro Shop.

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,320
Yeah, they recently I went in
there on my trip to San

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,560
Francisco and they said if we do
a hard credit pull, you can get

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,080
a free ad.
And I said fucking A.

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:25,360
All right.
Sounds great.

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,160
If you do a hard what?
Credit pull.

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,240
So basically if you're like
eligible for their credit card,

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,720
you can have a free hat.
So basically they gave me a free

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,000
hat because I was eligible for
the card.

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,480
Didn't think they were.
Basically, you basically

13
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:43,720
basically what?
I don't you know what, episode

14
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,240
1.
What is this one O 4 now is?

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,440
I think it's too many.
I think I'm done and I don't

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:50,960
think I need to talk to you
anymore.

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,920
I think that we're at we're at a
level where I, I'm done with

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,120
this and I'm turning it into a
record of my Zack.

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,840
And today, today is needle.
Zack Day Needle.

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,319
I'm just following the rules,
dude.

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,640
I, I don't know, man.
That's just the way it is.

22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,200
What?
What was the last week?

23
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,120
Birthdays.
Yeah.

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,560
Now we were doing skin care and
you came out and started talking

25
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,000
about bass.
I think the funniest thing is,

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,080
is that we start out these
episodes with the idea that

27
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,640
we're going to do something and
we'll start.

28
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:23,800
Usually we actually the first
sentence or 2 is about that

29
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,400
topic, but but we were talking
about skin care and then it's

30
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,000
like oh, and then you just pop
on a Bass Pro Shops and I was

31
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,120
just like.
OK, my question is when did

32
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,520
Cabela's acquire bass pro
Because if you look at this,

33
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,240
they send me the, this junk mail
kind of it's about earning

34
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,400
points, right, 'cause I have the
bass pro shops credit card.

35
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,960
We'll review kind of what's
going on here.

36
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,680
So that's a 9% APR.
And then also you have a chance

37
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,720
to earn points for Cabela's
items, right?

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,040
Like you get earn points like
for instance this the.

39
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,320
Way it was, The chain was
founded by Richard N Cabela and

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,440
Jim Cabela in 1961.
Cabela's was acquired by

41
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:09,680
Springfield, MO based Bass Pro
Shops in 2017 and it's been a

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,240
subsidiary ever since.
The brand retail locations

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,320
feature wildlife exhibits and
outdoor other things.

44
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,640
It's a really cool place to go
visit.

45
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,360
Living is.
I, I mean, I go in it, but it's

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,120
like it's, it's, I feel like I
need to buy a gun to shoot

47
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,200
something, but I'm not.
Well, I mean, yeah, well, I just

48
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,240
came up with this idea where I
would go in and I wanted to buy

49
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,040
a handgun, right.
But I wouldn't like want to test

50
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,920
them by hand feel.
I'd want to test them by mouth

51
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:36,000
feel.
And I think that that would be

52
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,600
the funniest thing that you
could possibly do.

53
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,680
Yeah, no, no, I, I mean I need
one with a smaller grip so I can

54
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,600
get it all the way around.
Otherwise it's not.

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,920
Exactly that That's.
Kind of what I was thinking

56
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:49,840
about.
Do you have a rifle?

57
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:55,720
I can work with my toe, you
know, so when you're holding the

58
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,960
barrel in your mouth, you can,
you can pull the trigger with

59
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,560
your toe.
What about a line of shotguns

60
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,280
named after Kurt Cobain songs?
Kind of you know, that wouldn't

61
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,080
be a bad idea.
I mean, they could they should

62
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,080
hire me.
What is the what was that thing?

63
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,440
And thank you for smoking.
That was the three Rs or

64
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,320
something like the the the
smoking industry, the alcohol

65
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,080
industry and then the arms
industry or the guns industry.

66
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,960
You remember that?
And they talked about how

67
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,840
they're the worst and how they
all 'cause like 75% of the

68
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,720
deaths in the US And I think
that that I could go

69
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,800
automobiles.
That guy.

70
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:32,120
Yeah, I don't.
Thank you for smoking.

71
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,160
Great movie.
Harvey Dent was in that movie.

72
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,440
Remember Batman Begins, not
Begins, but Batman.

73
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,160
The Dark Knight Rises.
Yeah, no, that was a good movie.

74
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,399
But back to Cabela's, I mean.
Cabela's are Bass Pro shops

75
00:03:45,399 --> 00:03:47,599
cause Bass Pro shops is now who
they are.

76
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,520
Well, they're all the same
thing.

77
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,760
It's all the same thing I'm
pretty sure now.

78
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:50,800
No, it's not the same.
Thing.

79
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,400
No, you don't think so.
Some are owned by Missouri, some

80
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,400
are owned by Canada.
I don't know.

81
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,520
Yeah.
When I go into them, they all

82
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,000
seem about the same to me,
except I think you know what

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,600
it's dependent upon.
It's dependent upon the

84
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,960
aquarium.
Do you think that there's

85
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,640
aquariums in the Cabela's and
not in the bass pro That's my.

86
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,560
I mean, the coolest thing I ever
saw it was when I went to what's

87
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:18,600
that little clothing store shop,
the one out of John Deere or

88
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,160
something like that.
I can't remember the name of it.

89
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,800
Clothing, Clothing.
Where's clothes?

90
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,440
No, it's, it's like old people,
old people, old people.

91
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,920
It was enticing.
LL Bean.

92
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,840
Yes, LL Bean, they had a bass
pond in there.

93
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,720
I missed that.
That's what.

94
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,360
I was just like, Oh my God, you
have a bass pond.

95
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,080
I could catch bass here.
This would be really easy

96
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,960
because I could see them.
The water out of that, when they

97
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,960
took the water out of that,
that's when I realized that

98
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,240
childhood in adolescence never
existed anymore because there's

99
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,400
no more fun in the mall.
It's not like there's these cool

100
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,360
interactive things like
Rainforest Cafe.

101
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,080
What happened to Rainforest
Cafe?

102
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:02,840
I'm here asking the tough
questions about why people are

103
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:05,080
saying, oh, we have such an
accelerated youth now.

104
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,480
They're growing up and basically
by the time they're 13, they're

105
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,960
adults and it's good to have no
time to be a kid.

106
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,800
They're.
Given a military games when

107
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,440
they're 6 so it's.
Like there's nothing in public

108
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,240
anymore that's fun.
There's no good time.

109
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,720
Oh my God.
Drive you out there?

110
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,120
Well, there's, I mean, and it
seems like most of the public

111
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,320
places are surrounded by a drug
culture, you know what I mean?

112
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,600
I would say, so go to the
basketball court, go to the, go

113
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,480
to the skate park, go to the I
mean, it's like a drug culture

114
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,200
around it, you know, So you're
like, oh, and so the parents are

115
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,920
more worried.
But then all like they're said,

116
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,280
you know, your kid builds
resilience or he doesn't, right?

117
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,240
I don't think that.
You got to experiment with drugs

118
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,920
to be cool, I think.
I don't think that you you can.

119
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,600
I don't think that.
I think addicts are born, not

120
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,200
made, you know?
Born not made.

121
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,120
Oh well.
Do you think the the genetic

122
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,920
predisposition is a thing?
Yeah, I think I think a lot of

123
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,000
people have an addictive
behavior, right?

124
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,520
And I don't know how and and it
and it's hard and and and and

125
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,880
I'm I'm definitely talking out
my ass here.

126
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:19,440
I don't think it's something
that just because I have many

127
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,160
relatives that are Alcoholics
makes me an alcoholic.

128
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,680
It it is because, yeah, I mean,
I think that the, and they are

129
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,080
that because it's genetic as
opposed to it is just we're all

130
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,600
just a bunch of weak fucks who
have to get drunk all the time,

131
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,960
you know what I mean?
I think it's a.

132
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,440
Disease, right?
They say it's a disease, and I

133
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,400
think that that's a lazy way to
put it.

134
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,600
I don't know.
That's kind of why I think a A

135
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,080
is a very lazy way to look at
it, because you have to give all

136
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,680
your power over to something
that you've never seen.

137
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,960
Other than yourself.
But when in fact you don't even

138
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,400
have any power to begin with.
And I think so, if you.

139
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,720
Don't have any power?
Then you know you.

140
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,720
It doesn't make any sense.
It doesn't make any sense.

141
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,960
You're not solving the addiction
crisis, you're actually just

142
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,640
changing what you're addicted
to.

143
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,760
Exactly.
Which is I mean meetings, which

144
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,600
I mean, isn't the.
Word thing, which is as long as

145
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,080
the behavior you're you can fit
into society if you're an A A

146
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,280
member, but you can if you're
constantly a drunk, of course,

147
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,720
if you're the Secretary of
Defense, you can, but that's

148
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,480
different, you know, so.
Yeah, Steve Bannon said that

149
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,080
thing the other day.
There's like some headline that

150
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,160
what was he talking?
He was talking about like David

151
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,640
Mamet or something, the
playwright who said I don't

152
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,440
know, he said something that was
interesting.

153
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,920
I don't know.
I thought you picked that up.

154
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,880
No.
No, no, I know.

155
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,160
I just know about the whole
eggs, that thing and that he's

156
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,400
a, he's a power drinker and you
know, and he promises he won't

157
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,800
drink while he's home.
It's just like.

158
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,880
Whoa.
Well, that's the majority of

159
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,240
people in America, I think,
because what we did is that we

160
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,360
labeled it as alcoholism.
Whereas you go to Europe and you

161
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,560
drink 3 beers of lunch and
you're just considered cool.

162
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,880
You're just considered a guy and
I think that that's a very big

163
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,080
difference in the drinking
culture in America is by the

164
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,800
time you're 1617 one the
collegiate activities right

165
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,920
you're going to drink more.
You haven't been drinking since

166
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,480
you were like 12 or 13 because
you're.

167
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,760
Yeah, a lot of people I know
started that are younger and

168
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,040
European were were like, yeah, I
had wine.

169
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,840
We had wine at dinner when I was
like 12.

170
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,360
They thought it was a big,
you're now a man here, you can

171
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,960
have a glass of wine and I drink
it.

172
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,080
It wasn't, it wasn't one of
those things that you can't do

173
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:31,640
this, you know, So there wasn't
the aura of keeping someone from

174
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:39,159
doing something seems to be a it
never, never seems to work.

175
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,960
You know no but.
Surely or or not, I won't say

176
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,720
never.
Most of the time it doesn't seem

177
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,720
to work when you start to think
about, oh, we look, we're just

178
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,080
saying no to drugs, don't give
them drugs.

179
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,680
And you know, it's like, you
know, when you're, when you're,

180
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:53,920
when you're.
And, and then the the propaganda

181
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,040
that they push that it's just
not true.

182
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,600
And I think that that that kind
of lends to it.

183
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,800
Well, this reminds me of the
public speaking project I did at

184
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,600
Nova where I did one on Mothers
Against Drunk Driving and how

185
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,920
they shifted the drinking age.
I think it was beer and wine was

186
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:14,360
17 and 18 was liquor.
And then when they went up to 21

187
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,440
because they were like, oh, all
these kids are dying.

188
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,680
You know what happened?
It was just the death toll

189
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:20,200
shift.
It shifted to 20.

190
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,720
I didn't, you know, I never
realized that till you told me

191
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,640
that.
I thought like that.

192
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,920
It was, I said, well, you know,
no matter what kind of ship bags

193
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,080
they are, at least they saved a
lot of kids.

194
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,880
But in reality, all they did is
give the kids three more years.

195
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,840
It literally did nothing yeah.
They didn't tackle the issue of

196
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,040
drinking in the 1st place.
They just.

197
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,080
Which I mean, making something
legal at a certain age just kind

198
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,480
of puts it off like you were
saying right?

199
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,720
But they also withheld Hwy.
funds from states that wouldn't

200
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,480
change over.
So it was a very forceful thing

201
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,680
that they did and the.
Government, Federal government,

202
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,320
shove it down your throat.
Because what is that kind of,

203
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,160
it's kind of like the same thing
when you buy something with a

204
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,080
credit card and they say, can
you sign for this?

205
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,280
It's security theatre.
It's we have a security theatre

206
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,040
kind of propaganda in the US in
which there are these things

207
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,680
that are supposed to help you
like the TSA, but when in fact

208
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:12,560
they don't do anything.
They need money.

209
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,720
There's a reason that you sign.
There's only one reason,

210
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:22,360
Interstate Commerce Commission,
it's the law to that you create

211
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,840
a contract if you sign it, If
you don't physically sign it,

212
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,880
then it isn't creating a
contract.

213
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,880
So there's always an issue if
you've never signed a receipt

214
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,680
and and that's why they make
such a big no matter what you

215
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:36,360
do, as long as you scribble
something, that means that you

216
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,280
signed.
So it's a legal transaction and

217
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,160
I, I believe it was the ICC, or
maybe I'm wrong about the agency

218
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,000
that, that, that overhead
oversight, but it's actually

219
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,280
key.
And they've tried to repeal that

220
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,880
over and over and over.
But the problem is, is that a

221
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,360
lot of transactions are
predicated upon having a

222
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:01,160
signature of both parties.
And so if you, how would you

223
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,560
say, oh, you only have to sign
for deals over 80 or 90 or 100?

224
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:08,200
And you're starting to see that
in credit card companies like

225
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,280
like when you go to Giant and
you buy $25 and you just put and

226
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,760
you put in and you punch in your
code and you're, and you're, and

227
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,720
it goes and it pays and you zip
your card and you don't have to

228
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,320
sign.
You just have to say, OK, right

229
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,160
up to like up to like $100 now,
because they've, they've changed

230
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,560
the laws on that.
It's actually, it's actually the

231
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:31,040
laws just being behind where the
rest of the public wants to go.

232
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,840
You know, it's the same thing
with weed.

233
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,720
You know, everybody people don't
care about, you know, the

234
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,600
banking laws are way behind
weed.

235
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,120
You know, weed's never going to
go anywhere until the banking

236
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,600
laws change and the banking's,
the bankers are like, no reason

237
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,760
to you, you, you don't make
enough money to make a

238
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,840
difference.
And, and besides, you know, and,

239
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,720
and it seems kind of weird.
You know, it's billions of

240
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,920
dollars, but it's billions of
dollars and you know, 2500 banks

241
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,760
really isn't that much money.
Yeah, that's kind of what I was

242
00:11:58,760 --> 00:11:59,880
thinking too.
I mean and.

243
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,040
It's negative and it's negative
and it and it's you know what?

244
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,680
You know what banking laws are.
Banking laws for weed are like

245
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:11,120
beards.
Occasionally they're seen as

246
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,240
very positive.
Most of the time they're neutral

247
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,920
and then a good percentage of
the another good percentage of

248
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:25,400
the time they're negative.
So given note that knowledge.

249
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,240
If you were to bet against it,
you're OK, right?

250
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,000
If you're going to say don't
have a beard because people's

251
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,040
perception of you is going to be
not having a beard is not

252
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,600
negative, having a beard is
going to could be negative not

253
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,600
having a beard as positive, not
having a beard and.

254
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,760
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying now?

255
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:53,680
So, so it's actually it's a safe
bet not to change the banking

256
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:57,520
laws and and bankers for the
most part, unless they have the

257
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,520
government to bail them out, are
relatively, they're supposed to

258
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:06,160
be, you know, conservative and
safe, you know, although most

259
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,640
many.
Unlike in 2008, when nobody went

260
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:10,840
to jail.
Nobody.

261
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:16,560
Went O7O6O6 and O7 is the reason
that we had 2008 and it it had a

262
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:17,760
lot to do with the banking
loans.

263
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,440
It had a lot to do with the,
well, the.

264
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,720
Disguising of bonds?
Wasn't that what it was?

265
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,920
No good, no duck loans when you,
when you, when you, when you

266
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,440
need need a job and you didn't
need anything that they started

267
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,640
loaning money to people that and
they were loaning to them just

268
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,240
for the fee that was generated.
And then they would sell it,

269
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,600
package it.
And Moody's would then say this

270
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,000
is AAA.
If you had three or four AAA

271
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,320
bonds in there and all the rest
of the middle tranches and lower

272
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,440
tranches were just negative
crap, They, they wouldn't rate

273
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,840
that, they would rate the whole
package AAA.

274
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,280
And it's like.
But they weren't really AAA,

275
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,600
right?
No, they're shit.

276
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,800
They were like Bea Moody was.
Just doing a shitty job.

277
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,320
That's what I got.
Caught and Moody's I think they

278
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,320
paid a couple 100 million in
fines and then they added new

279
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:09,040
regulation to them on you know
but but nobody went to jail you

280
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,680
know and they and which.
Makes me upset we.

281
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:16,760
Spent We spent 766 trillion on
that failure.

282
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,480
And I imagine people died in
homelessness because of that.

283
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,200
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lots of people, mortgages went

284
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,440
underwater and they just ran
away from their homes.

285
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,000
A whole lot of things happened.
It was very horrible.

286
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,760
And the people at the top, just,
you know, hey, government wrote

287
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,666
them all checks, you know?
But when I think about bass pro

288
00:14:37,667 --> 00:14:42,880
shops, I think about how you can
buy boats there on the on site.

289
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,320
You can buy a boat on site.
You want to own a boat though.

290
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,320
No, the best, what I've heard is
the best time in your life is

291
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,560
when you buy your boat and then
the next best is when you sell

292
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,560
it.
And I, I don't think because I

293
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,840
don't fish, if I was a
fisherman, maybe that would make

294
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,440
sense.
Maybe that would make sense

295
00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,640
going on.
And I.

296
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,680
Will fish what I'm drinking.
Well, I drink when I fish, I

297
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,320
guess.
I don't know.

298
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,160
That's it, that's it.
I mean, there's there's things

299
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,080
that are encouraging.
I mean, I used to go fishing

300
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,920
with Seth and it was only
because we were drinking beers

301
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,280
and because I'm hanging out with
my brother.

302
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,320
I could give a crap, but he's
like a master fisherman.

303
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,800
Edwin.
I don't think I've ever been

304
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,720
fishing with Edwin.
I used to go fishing with a lot

305
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,120
of buddies and basically it was
to get high and drink.

306
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,040
Well, me and you went out with
Seth on the canoe one year.

307
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,800
Yeah.
You remember that when I was

308
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:33,880
like 8 or 9 and we near him
wherever, What up was he off the

309
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,120
Potomac?
Yeah.

310
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,360
What river was that?
The Potomac River.

311
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,240
It was like a 20 minute drive.
Yeah, it's we went.

312
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,440
Out to it.
Was amazing.

313
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,600
What is it, Quarter rocks?
I'm not sure.

314
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,680
Is it what?
Whatever happened to the canoe,

315
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,080
by the way?
Is that still with you?

316
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,360
I think I gave it to somebody I
forgot because we sat over here

317
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,400
forever.
And then and then somebody was

318
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,080
saying, can I borrow it?
And I loaned it to them.

319
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,680
And I said, too bad it you, you
can't give it back.

320
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,040
What do you mean?
And it's like you get it, you,

321
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,880
you use it, you keep it.
It has a hole in it I think or

322
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,880
something.
Yeah, but I, I, you know,

323
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,400
somebody had it and they patched
it and it worked for a while.

324
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,160
I think Travis patched it, but
then I think they poked a hole.

325
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,120
I don't remember.
How do you?

326
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,800
Poke a hole in that too.
It was like it wasn't.

327
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,520
It's resin or whatever that is,
yeah.

328
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,360
Yeah, well, you don't know.
You hit a rock.

329
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,320
That's fair.
You hit a rock, you got you got

330
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,840
you you're on.
It wasn't a it wasn't flat

331
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,120
bottomed.
Oh, you're right.

332
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,840
So if you stand on it, you could
actually crack the side and if

333
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,760
you crack the side you you
that's trouble.

334
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,400
There's all sorts of little
things that could go wrong, but.

335
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,320
You can also put AT VS a bass
pro shops on the on the lot

336
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,440
which is crazy.
You can go to some Bass Pro

337
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,334
shops, a lot of them Cabela's
Bass Pro Shops or Bass Pro

338
00:16:50,333 --> 00:16:52,480
Shops.
I don't mind renting canoes and

339
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,720
renting things like that, but
I'm just like, I'm at the point

340
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,240
in my life and I've always been
this way with a boat.

341
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:02,480
I was like, I never thought that
that owning a cabin cruiser, I I

342
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,640
would feel like I was indebted
to go to it every week, even

343
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,839
though we owned a big house and.
You know, it's the funniest way

344
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,040
to put that.
That's that's might be the best

345
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,839
way to put it.
You're not getting any value if

346
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:14,240
you don't go there.
And if you don't go there every

347
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,920
day of the summer, your pro,
your, your, your boat just

348
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,880
sitting there in the water is
dropping in value, you know, a

349
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,520
couple grand a week, you know?
I think the most.

350
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,560
Ridiculous part.
Use it or a dies.

351
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,480
We got to pay too to keep it at
a Marina and it's like and you

352
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:30,720
got to pay to.
Put it in the water, you got to

353
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,160
pay to take it out of the water.
You got to if it's a bigger

354
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,360
boat, you got to have it
cleaned.

355
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:37,280
You got to gas any time we're.
Not even talking about gas yet.

356
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,840
Yeah, we, yeah.
The title of this episode's

357
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,600
going to be We Hate Boats. bass
pro shops.

358
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,520
Oh, it's bass pro shops.
I know.

359
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,080
I thought we hate boats.
You know, when was the last time

360
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:55,240
you went to a Bass Pro Shops?
I went to one in Canada I think.

361
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,480
We need to go.
Oh, you know what we could do?

362
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,680
Or no, it was out in Manassas.
I think I we're driving.

363
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,880
I, I don't it was, I think it
was with you.

364
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,360
Me.
Yeah, I.

365
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,760
Haven't seen you in a.
Couple of years, yeah.

366
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:08,920
I mean, it's a couple of years
ago.

367
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,760
It's been a couple of years.
It's not my it's not my thing to

368
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,920
go hunting bass.
But I look at them and I like

369
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,440
them and I think they're cool,
but they're not like, you know,

370
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:26,720
I may of when I went, Conrad and
I and your mother and his wife,

371
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:33,800
when we were driving to Niagara
Falls, we stopped in a parking

372
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,960
lot from to recharge and it took
like 1/2 an hour.

373
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,880
It takes.
Even longer and I had to go

374
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,840
potty.
I had to go potty and I went to

375
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,280
a bass pro shops.
I think that's where I was.

376
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,480
I think that's the last time as
I went and I, you know, I threw

377
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,960
the cigars there and then that
was that.

378
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:53,440
You know what I think about too?
The most beautiful fish I've

379
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:59,320
ever seen is the rainbow trout.
Yeah, in the LL Bean when I was

380
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,960
a kid.
Well, that fish is so specific.

381
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,200
And you know what was cool too
and why I always strictly

382
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,920
believe in indoor water features
is because of that LL Bean like

383
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,160
indoor water features really
bring something of a mysticism.

384
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,880
So the human life experience
because things that are outside

385
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,400
when you put them inside, really
that's the ultimate conquering

386
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,400
of nature.
If you think about I, it's the

387
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,360
most beautiful thing ever when
you put a tree inside a mall.

388
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:29,040
Oh my God I love stuff like.
That I did bass fishing,

389
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:35,200
probably when we went down to
what was that?

390
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,920
Oh my God, I'm wearing them.
Am I wearing them?

391
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,680
You are in the waiters.
Oh, you went fly fishing that

392
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,840
one year?
Yeah.

393
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,120
And I went to.
What's the name of this place?

394
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,760
What is that?
Oh, Sentara.

395
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,360
No, that's a gold company,
etcetera.

396
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,600
No, it's close, right.
Is it close?

397
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,520
Let me see.
What does it say on the the the

398
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,320
pant?
Like can we see it here?

399
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,720
Sky Terra.
There we go.

400
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,080
Sky Terra.
Yeah, we go.

401
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,760
I went.
There and I took AI took first

402
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,760
one ever fly fishing lesson,
went out in the morning, put on

403
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,360
the boots, got up at like 5:30
in the morning, cold as hell.

404
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,600
They had some shitty lukewarm
coffee and I down at the place

405
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,200
where the guy was taking me for
the lesson.

406
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,320
And we get in, I put on my boots
and I got the rubbers all the

407
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,280
way up to minimal and waist.
It actually makes you look

408
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,080
skinnier.
And we're walking into the we're

409
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,000
walking into the marsh.
It's a little narrow, like

410
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,560
stream, maybe 25 feet wide,
maybe 6 feet deep.

411
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,480
And it feeds into a lake.
And we're right.

412
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,200
And the guy goes, we'll go to
the mouth and we do it.

413
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,720
So I, I, I, he's showing me how
to flip back and forth, right,

414
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,960
And to get a hit.
And I get a hit and then I bring

415
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,840
it in and the way you bring it
in and you reel and you pull and

416
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,400
you reel and you do all this.
I've completely forgotten what

417
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,440
you do.
But I got 1 and it's about this

418
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,920
big, I got a picture of it and
we can show the two pictures

419
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:03,200
and, and they can be the, they
can be the front.

420
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:08,040
Well, then I do that and I'm
fishing still and he's fishing

421
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,080
and he doesn't get anything.
He keeps showing me how to, how

422
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,920
to cast and he casts like it's
more of a physical operation in

423
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,040
fishing.
It's not just sitting there

424
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,320
getting shit faced because you
got to, you got to, we got to.

425
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,480
Stand in the damn water too.
Well, I was only I was right on

426
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,440
the edge, so I was in about a
foot and a half of.

427
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,000
Water, right?
You're still in the water.

428
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:25,800
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

429
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,600
So it's very, very cool.
And it's muddy, sloppy, muddy

430
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,040
all the way up to it.
You know, it's really, I mean,

431
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,560
it's kind of, but you know,
you're cold, but you're also a

432
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,880
little excited.
And I get a hook and it's going

433
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,160
back and forth.
It's going back and forth.

434
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,120
And I keep tugging and pulling a
little bit and goes don't pull a

435
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:49,600
Hulk, don't pull a horn.
And I I pull this thing and

436
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,080
consider that I lied a lot.
So I would say 30 minutes, but

437
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,520
it's really about 15 to 15 to
18, maybe even 20, maybe as many

438
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,320
as 20 minutes, probably 15
minutes back and forth, up and

439
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,320
down, you know, and then the guy
is telling me like, you know, at

440
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,400
some point you got to cut the
line if you can't pull him in.

441
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,120
And so I'm pulling and pulling
and pulling because you got like

442
00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:10,520
a 7 LB test and it'll snap.
It's a light.

443
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,640
It's a really light thing.
Because you got to whip the shit

444
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,120
out, yeah.
Yeah, I finally get him in.

445
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,000
I pull him out.
It is a small mouth bass.

446
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:28,600
It's over £5.
He sees it and he said I've

447
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:33,400
never caught one that big.
And he looks at me and he's

448
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,320
coming like you've done this
before.

449
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:40,040
And I go no, he's like, I've
never seen anybody pull in one

450
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,040
that big out of this, out of
this lake in this area.

451
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,000
I said, how long you been doing?
For 20 years.

452
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,400
I'm like, whoa, I got a picture.
You got to see it.

453
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,640
It's just, it's amazing.
Well, that's like when we went

454
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,840
to Antarctica, I saw 40 whales
and people were like, well,

455
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,560
we've been down here for 10
years and never seen anything

456
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,080
like that.
Yeah, when we pulled into that

457
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,840
thing, I I mean, things like
that happen to me a lot when

458
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,240
people talk about it being the
first time ever, you know?

459
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,200
Yeah, I don't know, you know, I
mean, that has happened to me

460
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,800
quite a few times.
When I saw the when I was doing

461
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,160
the Inca trail and I was in the
front and I and I'm a fast, I'm

462
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,320
a, I'm a pretty fast Walker
usually.

463
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,160
It used to be now that all my
tendons are torn away, nothing

464
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,040
but but but.
Now that my legs are broken, now

465
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,840
my legs are.
You know, you know, spaghetti

466
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,240
noodles, whatever.
The I, I, I'm always first.

467
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,440
I, I Jose.
I was a mile ahead of him every

468
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,520
time we hiked, but I'm in the
front.

469
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,560
No, it wasn't there.
It wasn't Machu Picchu, it was

470
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:44,000
taught as Delpine and I was in
the West and I was ahead of

471
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,960
everybody.
And he said, and I said, so if I

472
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,600
walk ahead, you have a problem.
And he goes, no, no, no, just go

473
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,960
as go whatever place you want
because I'm a really fast Walker

474
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,720
and these are older people and I
think I might have been near the

475
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,720
youngest there.
Besides the crew that's going

476
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,440
with them, they were in their
50s and 60s or I was still in my

477
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:07,280
40s anyway.
No, I've been in 5051.

478
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,600
Anyway, I walked up on an Andean
deer.

479
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:18,920
Andean or Indian?
Andean ANDAN like tiny, you

480
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:25,240
know, smaller, very dark, no
spots, really, really freaking

481
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,040
cool looking nice snapped
picture.

482
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,320
And then it, you know, when it
it I, I always swear there was a

483
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,240
pick a left or pick a right.
That's where I would stop and

484
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,120
wait for everybody to catch up
and they all caught up and then

485
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:42,640
we had tea there because that
was the thing that they did.

486
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:48,840
We had tea for morning and
afternoon and and just a a

487
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,800
metric shit ton of wine at
dinner.

488
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,280
We had a pre drunk and then a
dinner drunk and then a night

489
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,840
drunk and then go to bed and get
up and do another 15 miles the

490
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,280
next day.
Anyway, I took a picture and I

491
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,280
told him I I saw a deer and he
goes, no, I couldn't have been a

492
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,320
deer.
And he said, well, I said, well,

493
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,760
they're here, right?
He goes, yeah.

494
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,320
And he goes, I said, what it
look like?

495
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,440
And I said as a little thing, I
had this leers.

496
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,160
He goes, what do you describe?
Like it's Andian deer, But you

497
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,840
know, I've been coming here for
30 years and I've never seen

498
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,600
one.
I said I took a picture.

499
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:27,360
He just went quiet and I showed
it to him and he just shook his

500
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:30,000
head.
He goes, that's an Andian deer.

501
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,360
And the same thing I was when I,
I was walking, it was, it was,

502
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,080
it was, it wasn't pouring.
It was like, you know, just just

503
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,880
heavier than a drizzle.
And we were out walking and we

504
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,840
were doing I think the second
leg or something like that.

505
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,720
We might have been known Fitzroy
at that time, which has been

506
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,000
there's Argentina and what the
heck is it?

507
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,400
What's the other hateful
country?

508
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,560
Not Brazil.
Not Venezuela.

509
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,360
Were you talking about the top
of South America?

510
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,920
Yeah, by Uruguay, Chile and
Argentina.

511
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,880
We were on the board.
They're doing Argentina, they're

512
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,360
coming from Chile and or vice
versa.

513
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:19,080
Anyway, we, I was walking and it
was raining and just above the

514
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,800
drizzle and I'm walking faster
than everybody.

515
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,600
I'm in the front and I come
across this tree and it was like

516
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,840
a little tiny, kind of like a,
it looked like a maybe a Willow

517
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,880
because it had all the, the will
it kind of a Willow tree, kind

518
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,160
of a Willow looking tree, but
just short little branches

519
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,920
everywhere.
And it had eight or 9 owls on

520
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,800
it.
Little tiny guys just all

521
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,520
perched around in there.
It looked like a nest of owls

522
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,520
and it was just wild.
And I took a picture of that

523
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,520
too.
I said, you see owls down here

524
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,800
he goes, yeah, they have the
South American blah, blah, blah,

525
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,120
blah, blah, blah.
And I was like, you mean this

526
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,880
just like?
I don't like you.

527
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,920
No, no, I have a lot of.
I have, I have.

528
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,280
Well, The thing is, is that when
I'm in the woods, I mean, you've

529
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,360
seen me walk.
I walk way ahead of your mother,

530
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:14,640
way ahead of everybody,
typically because you're evil.

531
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,360
Well, they're talking and
they're loud and if you want to

532
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:21,200
see anything you need to shut
your cake hole, you know well.

533
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,200
You walk ahead of us in the city
anyway.

534
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,200
Well, I don't like you, but
that's like.

535
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,360
Five blocks ahead and people
like you'll you'll be.

536
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:30,760
Like 1/2.
Three no more than they'll be

537
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,800
like with what family What what
do you mean table for three what

538
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,880
what is it because you.
They'll be back.

539
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,440
They'll be a long and 1/2 hour.
They're fat and slow and.

540
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,120
They'll be like, what is this?
These old people, they can't get

541
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,560
anywhere, can they?
They cannot get anywhere.

542
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:46,400
I don't know.
You know when you.

543
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,520
It's Bass Pro Shops serve food.
No, but you know what I was

544
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,840
going to say?
We should go to Tennessee where

545
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,240
they have the pyramid.
We should go to the pyramid

546
00:27:56,360 --> 00:27:59,400
because that's the biggest one
in the US and they have a hotel

547
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,120
in the one.
Yep, they have a bass pro shops

548
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,040
hotel in the top of the pyramid
in Memphis, TN.

549
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,200
I've always wanted to stay
there.

550
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:09,480
People get married there.
I don't know why, but they do.

551
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,920
Really.
I was thinking about doing that

552
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:13,360
this year.
You.

553
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:14,840
Want to go?
You want to do it this year?

554
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,560
Yeah, in a heartbeat.
Memphis, TN.

555
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,040
When?
When are we going to go?

556
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,360
What's after?
Probably September.

557
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:22,440
How's September for?
You OK?

558
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,680
Let's do it then.
I mean Memphis after September

559
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,400
5th.
I'm seeing Oasis on September

560
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:27,200
5th.
It's gonna be great.

561
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:29,560
What?
Why?

562
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:30,400
Why do you?
Why do?

563
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,160
You give that snide look, huh?
What is that?

564
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,600
What is that?
He's just not a.

565
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,600
He's not a a a.
What's his name?

566
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,800
The the the arrogant 1.
The arrogant one.

567
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:42,840
Wow.
You don't like him?

568
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,400
He's so funny though.
You got to admit.

569
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,880
Him.
He lives it, though.

570
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,000
He's brought.
Stupid to a new level, is that

571
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,240
what you're saying?
Well, he does.

572
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,120
This thing, like he did this bit
the other day, he's like, I

573
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,800
don't understand why these
people are wearing cowboy boots

574
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,520
and everything.
Like you can make a great music,

575
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,720
but if you look like an idiot,
you'll never be a rock star.

576
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,360
It's like, look at me, I wear a
rain jacket.

577
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,920
I wear jeans, rain jacket,
jeans.

578
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,640
That's all I am.
That's all ever will be.

579
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,680
And I love it.
I love that and he's like and I

580
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,440
could sing and I'm beautiful.
It is so funny and he's not a

581
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,120
great looking guy, but he's.
A confident guy, He's very

582
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,600
confident and and he must, you
have to, I guess you should

583
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,640
admire that.
I do, I really do.

584
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,480
And he's well-being
narcissistic.

585
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,160
I think is is the key to being a
a we.

586
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,280
Don't know anybody that way, do
we?

587
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,520
No, definitely not me.
No, never, never me.

588
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,480
No, I don't think we are.
I I mean.

589
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,600
Really.
I don't think so.

590
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,920
You really don't think so?
Not even to some degree.

591
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,520
To a little bit.
We have a problem.

592
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,480
Yeah, for God's sake.
I'm sorry, what we?

593
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,280
Were on podcasts, for God's
sake.

594
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,960
We like to ourselves talk enough
that we wanted to taint people's

595
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,880
ears with this jargon.
Think about that.

596
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:51,000
Well, I mean, I think the thing
that that that kind of struck me

597
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,720
is that you've said this over
and over and it sometimes I

598
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,400
think about it more than other
times is that we don't do this

599
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,240
for other people.
We do it for us 100%.

600
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,280
We do it for you and we and I
don't do it for you.

601
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,280
I do it for me because I'm
selfish and and yeah, because

602
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,760
it's like, wow, who else in the
world gets an uninterrupted

603
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,640
amount of time to sit and just
shoot the breeze with her kid

604
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,240
and talk about whatever cool
thing that's happening or not

605
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,560
happening or just a made-up
topic and then just sort of

606
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,000
offline and go off into
spaceland and talk about fish

607
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,040
and then talk about getting high
and Jupiter and whatever the

608
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,000
fuck else we do, you know, You
know what I mean?

609
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,280
It's kind of like that is this
is, to me, an amazing

610
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,240
experience.
I couldn't agree more and why I

611
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,680
think also it's so we do it for
other people at the same time

612
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,920
and to realize that a
relationship with your father is

613
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,440
not as impossible as it may
seem.

614
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,680
And then because me and you had
a rough time for a long time

615
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,320
and.
You were always wrong.

616
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,400
Well, I was always right.
And I think that now that we're

617
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,880
doing the podcast, you realize
that you were always wrong.

618
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,120
I think that's.
True, I always was wrong.

619
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,280
That's why we're here now.
Except for when you were.

620
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,760
Wrong and then you accepted that
you were wrong about everything

621
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,480
and that's why we have a podcast
is because it's your acceptance

622
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,960
your.
I think.

623
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,680
I think.
You are wrong and I think.

624
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,440
No.
You know what the acceptance is,

625
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,560
is that it just doesn't matter.
That that's a.

626
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,120
Fairpoint, I think that when it
comes right down to it, when you

627
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,080
start to like get into the
minutiae of all the things that,

628
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,600
you know, there might have been
big topics that we talked about

629
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,360
that mattered at the time that
we tried to sway one another on

630
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,320
and we couldn't.
And you realize that if you're

631
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,160
trying to change someone's
opinion and you.

632
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,800
I think that trying to have that
as a goal, it's just not going

633
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,040
to happen.
They're going to have to change

634
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,280
it on their own of their own
findings and their own things

635
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,280
and their own experiences.
And either they'll see it or

636
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,200
not.
And you can spew the truth all

637
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,520
you want out there and try to
put it in front of them and tell

638
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,760
them.
But if if they don't, there's a

639
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,400
level of trust that will go with
that.

640
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,200
But then at some point it's like
you're just spouting what the

641
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,720
other side always says, you
know?

642
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,800
So you so but that but it but
it's some, but then that grows

643
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,080
with you and I I think it's
trust.

644
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,960
You know, you started to learn
that we we learned to trust each

645
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,200
other.
You know, although I don't trust

646
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:10,080
you, but you don't.
Trust me.

647
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,200
So even well, when we came from
different places of

648
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,240
understanding, when I began to
grow up at, I would say around

649
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:23,080
2021, I instead of persecuting
you would say, why do you think

650
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,880
that way?
Why do you think that way?

651
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,080
Instead, I came from an
understanding point of view

652
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,640
instead of a let me put my
opinion on your forehead and

653
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,520
drive it in like a nail because
that never works.

654
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,360
That never works.
No, it results in aggression

655
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,080
every single time.
And it's like, why wouldn't you

656
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,440
just kind of massage the
conversation to a point to where

657
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,040
you get both understanding each
other rather than damning

658
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,440
somebody until they just scream
at you, right?

659
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,880
Like there's no I don't.
Really.

660
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,280
Well, see, I find that that you
do that when you when you're

661
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,040
bored and you need attention and
you go to Newsmax and then you

662
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,720
just say something bad about
Trump.

663
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,680
Somebody, somebody I know does
that quite frequently.

664
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,240
I don't know who it is.
And you get like 100 responses

665
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,360
and it's like it just makes you
feel good for the day.

666
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,440
You you know, the weird thing
is, is that they could also go

667
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,000
to like alt left or whatever
they are, I think.

668
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,480
Alt left does the same thing.
There's ultimate state.

669
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,120
Well, see, I don't think that's
true.

670
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,400
Really.
I don't think it's true.

671
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,640
No, I don't see.
I don't see trying to have free

672
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,680
Healthcare is the same as going
to war.

673
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,600
I don't, I don't, I don't
balance those two as equal.

674
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,120
No, I'm saying reaction wise.
I'm saying reaction wise.

675
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,680
I'm saying, yeah, overtly
aggressive very quickly when

676
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,320
their opinion isn't accepted.
That's what I'm getting right.

677
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,920
I'm not saying, well, they're
weird.

678
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,760
The free Healthcare is is on the
same playing field.

679
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,080
When you try to measure going to
war policies to 1 to the other,

680
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:58,320
but the the the I guess The
thing is, is that when you say

681
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,720
they're like they're I'm I'm
trying to think of all of the.

682
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:09,800
I don't know what I'm thinking
of.

683
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,279
I was thinking of Bass Pro
Shops, you know, and I was

684
00:34:12,279 --> 00:34:14,159
thinking about that big bass and
then.

685
00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:16,080
So Tennessee, we're gonna go.
LLB We.

686
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:17,960
Gotta go in September.
I like that.

687
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,960
Let's put a date on it.
I'll book the hotel Tennessee.

688
00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:25,280
And because they got you can go
bow fishing inside the thing

689
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,800
with like rubber fish.
Oh my gosh.

690
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,199
Yeah, it's gonna be great.
Well, I just, I really don't

691
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:33,199
like the taste of rubber.
No.

692
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,199
We're gonna have to eat it.
What What is there to do in

693
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:38,639
Memphis, TN other than?
Oh, there's a lot of stuff.

694
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:42,199
It's it's a cowboy town.
Yeah, it is country music.

695
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,320
Oh, you're right, son Records.
Barbecue.

696
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:46,840
Nashville.
That might be Nashville.

697
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:52,360
No BBQ Memphis is oh, it's got
like it's where the real country

698
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,199
music is.
Well, that's the vinegar based

699
00:34:54,199 --> 00:34:56,679
downtown Memphis.
Hot sauce, too, is where Memphis

700
00:34:56,679 --> 00:34:59,000
is.
Stax Museum of American Soul

701
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,680
Music.
We should go to Memphis.

702
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,440
Memphis Zoo, Memphis Museum of
Science and History.

703
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,840
Oh my gosh.
The Orange Mound.

704
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,800
Big River crossing.
What is a big river crossing?

705
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,360
Arkansas is right across the
I've never been to Arkansas.

706
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,560
You never been, never been.
I've never been either.

707
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,520
Oh my gosh, we have to.
Oh, what I was going to say to

708
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,280
you know where I'm going do.
You know the Southland Casino

709
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,240
Hotel is in Arkansas.
When I go in there, we're going

710
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:27,440
to the the pyramid.
It's yeah.

711
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,600
We're going to the pyramid, but
I'm just saying that how far is

712
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:36,240
Little Rock?
Because that you know.

713
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,280
That's Sean, went there
recently.

714
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,520
He went to Little Rock.
Yeah, yeah.

715
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,400
I mean, I can imagine going
there because of the historic

716
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,880
place, right?
What it What was there?

717
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,600
And what happened to Little
Rock?

718
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:48,760
Yeah.
What happened to Little Rock?

719
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,640
Was there a big rock
desegregated?

720
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,040
Oh, you're right.
Was it the high school thing

721
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,440
that happened?
I.

722
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,920
Think it was the high school
civil rights.

723
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:07,880
Yeah, yeah.
Dates back what was Little Rock

724
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,520
known for?
Home of the Little Rock 9, a

725
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,200
group of African American
teenagers who made civil rights

726
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,960
history in 1957.
Wow.

727
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,960
Wow, segregation.
Where have I been?

728
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,920
Do you ever go to?
I went to Bourbon Street about

729
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,120
45 years ago.
Yeah, I went down there.

730
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:33,760
I went to, I drove from Virginia
through Knoxville, TN, which is

731
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:40,240
not if not really big like
Memphis or Nashville, but it was

732
00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:42,080
fun nonetheless.
And then we went down to

733
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,240
Louisiana.
That was a good time.

734
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,960
Stayed in a weird hotel.
It was a it was a Hyatt, but the

735
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,720
room was like in an L shape like
which they all are, I guess.

736
00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:55,680
But this one had a long, long
skinny hallway that felt about

737
00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:00,440
like a, a city block long.
And then it opened up into like

738
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,200
a 10 foot ceiling.
But then the room, the bed was

739
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,440
the size of the room.
It was weird.

740
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,240
It was strange.
Really strange and.

741
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,400
Then there's like a couch almost
on top of the bed.

742
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:14,480
Yes, very, very weird.
Really tiny, tiny room, Big

743
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:20,320
room.
I mean, long hallway along the

744
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:21,960
way.
Well, you know what that means.

745
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,280
That means that they had it's.
I think it was running out of

746
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,680
space configuration and make
more rooms that's.

747
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,720
Exactly what it was.
It was designed like a broom

748
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:32,560
closet or something, I imagine.
Yeah, it was very interesting.

749
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,560
But I ate alligator or
crocodile, I can't remember

750
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,440
which one down there.
That was great.

751
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,840
Probably alligator.
Alligator.

752
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,640
Toupee A toupee down there.
Oh, I love, I love crawfish.

753
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,000
A toupee that is so.
I don't like eating regular

754
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,400
crawfish.
Can't say that it's.

755
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,160
Great.
No, no, it isn't.

756
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:50,920
It isn't.
It's they're all plucked out and

757
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,000
everything and made.
I remember.

758
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,920
I like the one it's plucked out
because I and myself am terrible

759
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,920
at doing that.
There was this bit I saw the

760
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,240
other day where this guy was
like what it's like to order

761
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:02,880
crabs at a restaurant.
So can I get one order of the

762
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,840
hardest thing I've ever eaten in
my life?

763
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,800
Oh, can I get one order of the
the armor, please?

764
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,800
Oh, yeah.
Can I get one order of the armor

765
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,200
with that comes with no meat at
all and is the most difficult

766
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,400
thing I've ever eaten in my
entire life and cuts my fingers.

767
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:17,160
Thank you.
Yes.

768
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,920
Oh, can I get one order of the
football pads that people wear?

769
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:25,320
And it burns because you have
the spicy sauce on there that

770
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,320
feels so good when you get old
BAE into a cut.

771
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,200
It's just like, yes, I feel like
I have succeeded in life.

772
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,880
I.
Don't ever need to eat crabs

773
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,360
ever again.
Small crabs that is.

774
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,160
Because with environmental
impact, the small crabs Oh no

775
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,680
longer are great.
It's only the Alaskan king crab

776
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,080
that really is worth anything.
And well, I think, I don't know,

777
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,320
I'm selfish.
We have had, if you buy crab

778
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,120
meat, that's that's fine.
Crab meat to me when we did

779
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,800
because you did crab mango and
what was it?

780
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,520
Crab, mango, avocado stack.
Yeah.

781
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,040
Oh my gosh, that is.
Well, I'll tell you the best

782
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,520
sandwich I ever made.
Crab melt sandwich where you get

783
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,840
2 pieces of bread.
You make a spicy mayonnaise.

784
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,280
Sriracha Mayo.
No, no, it's not sriracha Mayo.

785
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,640
You make a crab salad.
My my apologies.

786
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,600
You get the crab, you get
mayonnaise, right?

787
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,600
And then you mix the crab with
mayonnaise with a little bit of

788
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,640
paprika, old Bay salt, pepper,
garlic, onion powder.

789
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,200
And then you cover the sides of
the bread and mayonnaise, right?

790
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,560
You put the crab salad on there,
and then you put a piece of

791
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,120
provolone over the crab salad
and then you melt it like a

792
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,320
Panini style.
And that is nothing.

793
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,000
Provolone instead of like like I
I would think American would go

794
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,400
really well.
I don't know provolone really.

795
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,720
Well, the orange cheese is
really good on crab.

796
00:39:37,720 --> 00:39:39,920
Maybe I use Colby Jack, I don't
know Monterey.

797
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,520
Colby Jack would be, yeah, that
would be that.

798
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:42,600
Would I might have used Colby
Jack?

799
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:43,920
I might have used Colby Jack on
that.

800
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,320
But I'm not going to lie, that
was amazing.

801
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,840
Yeah.
Maybe it was even.

802
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,480
Pepper Jack, Pepper Jack, Would
you?

803
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:51,880
Would you do that?
Would you?

804
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,121
Would that be a good sandwich
for Bass Pro Shops?

805
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,839
I think that that could be Bass
Pro Shops sandwich of the year.

806
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,320
I don't know why they don't have
food.

807
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,880
I think that would be, it would
certainly be a sideline.

808
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:05,800
Well, I would, I would try to
think like what would go with

809
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,520
bass pro shops?
When people go there, they go

810
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,080
there for a long time and it's a
destination, right?

811
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,040
Generally they do the it's on an
in and out kind of place.

812
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,240
People go there to look around
at all this stuff and look at

813
00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:22,280
all this stuff, and I wonder how
many people walk in there and

814
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,880
don't buy anything.
I'd imagine probably 30 or 40%

815
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,920
of the people that go there buy
some tiny little thing.

816
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,120
Very little.
Well, yeah, I I bought it

817
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:34,760
pulled.
For a hat.

818
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,880
And that's what they do and.
Now I bought MOC and I bought, I

819
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:42,040
bought Maple, Maple bacon
popcorn or something, you know,

820
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,880
caramel corn deer, deer, I think
they call it deer droppings or

821
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,960
something like that.
Oh, I remember that.

822
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,880
I remember.
That, yeah, I bought that there.

823
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,680
I bought it at Cabela's or it
was, I think it was Bass Pro,

824
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,440
whatever, I don't know.
But now they're both the same.

825
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,880
But you're right.
So well, when we talk about the

826
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,800
importance of Bass Pro Shops.
Do you think I should send them

827
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,800
a business plan on why they
should adopt food in their

828
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,320
place?
What would it be?

829
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,760
Would you have coffee and like
sundries?

830
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,680
That's what I would have,
Something you could pick up and

831
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,000
carry and eat.
Buffalo Bar.

832
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,240
Ridgedale, Missouri.
You know what we actually might

833
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:17,320
go to?
Ridgedale, Missouri.

834
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,880
Springfield, Ridgedale.
Hollister, MO.

835
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,760
Oh my gosh, Springfield.
Cuz my pay my is that where the.

836
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,200
Simpsons are.
And I think so.

837
00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:28,680
Either that or Virginia, but.
No, not Virginia, the

838
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,160
Springfield in the Midwest.
That you earn with the card can

839
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,960
take you on vacation.
Look at that, you see that and

840
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,880
also you can redeem more points
at basspro.com.

841
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,840
You know what's funny?
When we booked the hotel, I'll

842
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,520
book it on my card, my Bass Pro
Shops card.

843
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:47,680
So if you so if you if you spend
$50,000, they give you a $500

844
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:48,840
vacation, right?
Exactly.

845
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,600
Yeah, it sounds great to me.
Yeah.

846
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,480
Sounds like it really pays for
itself, right?

847
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,240
What are you talking about?
Maybe we should talk about the

848
00:41:57,240 --> 00:41:58,680
points program.
Wow, I.

849
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,000
Love the points.
A lot of people do.

850
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,160
A lot of people are addicted to
using only one carrier or one

851
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:05,960
car.
That's funny you mention that.

852
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,480
And I'm going to do this and I
got the Platinum card and I get

853
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,000
this and I get that and I get
this.

854
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,120
And it's like, no, you paid
$900.

855
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,840
You don't get that.
You paid for that.

856
00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:17,480
Well, that's kind of what I'm
realizing too, is that I have

857
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,840
like 150,000 points, which is
only equivalated to like $1500

858
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,440
right now.
And I'm like, that's crazy, but

859
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,840
you know, but it's $1500.
But it's different because

860
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,240
they're miles, because they're
for air travel.

861
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:32,520
Yeah, you could get a pretty
good decent travel out of

862
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,080
150,000.
You can get what I was looking

863
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,680
at is you can book a flight
there and back and a hotel with

864
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:39,640
that amount of points.
That's a.

865
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,960
Platinum member at Holiday Inn
Express.

866
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:47,000
Do you know that what is I have
150,000 points.

867
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,080
Oh wow.
And, and it's like platinum and

868
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,160
it's, and it is because, and it
they have a really, really,

869
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:59,160
really low point scale.
You know, they give you like 100

870
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:04,280
points for every stay or 200 or
500 or something like that.

871
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,520
Yeah, well, I've been there for
10 years.

872
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,280
So like, you know.
Oh wait, 200 for every?

873
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:10,720
That's nothing.
Yeah, it's not that many.

874
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,200
I mean, you spend, you spend
$500, you get 500 points and

875
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,240
you're thinking like, OK, that
means I've stayed there so.

876
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:24,320
Many 1 billion Dimes.
Well, 200 times roughly. 750

877
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,600
million * 2. 100 times, and
that's not really that many of

878
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,960
you Figure 10 years or nine
years or whatever.

879
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,120
So it's a fairpoint, yeah, when
you think about it.

880
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,480
But anyway, I want to go check
out this resort.

881
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:36,640
We should go check.
Out the Memphis.

882
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,760
We'll do it.
Big Cedar we're going to invite.

883
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,520
You down by your mother, We're
going to say no, you're not

884
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,280
invited.
We should definitely take her to

885
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,480
the pyramid.
I've always wanted to go.

886
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,240
Oh my gosh, I want to take her
too.

887
00:43:45,240 --> 00:43:47,480
Oh, there is dining actually.
What a kill.

888
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,320
It says dining.
Make a meal out of your hard

889
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,080
earned club points at various
Bass Pro Shops in Cabela's

890
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,520
restaurants so they.
Already have?

891
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,680
Oh my gosh.
They already have it.

892
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:57,240
They already.
Have it?

893
00:43:57,240 --> 00:43:59,840
No, they didn't already have it.
They just came up with the We

894
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,320
came up with the idea and they
stole it.

895
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,640
To destinations like Big Cedar
Lodge and use your club points.

896
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,160
For accommodations, golf and
more outdoor adventures, use

897
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,000
Club.
Golf.

898
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,080
We could go golfing because I'll
be able to golf by that.

899
00:44:11,240 --> 00:44:12,880
Honestly, we could go golfing.
I'd be down.

900
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,520
I love golfing, I'm not going to
lie.

901
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:17,400
I love when we play once a year.
That's the perfect amount of

902
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,480
golf for me.
And I play about half the of the

903
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,760
18 and I say I just want to go
drink at the bar.

904
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,280
And then that's what we do.
And I think that that's the

905
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,080
perfect.
Way you know is to give up

906
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,040
halfway through.
I was trying to learn something

907
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,240
from the Scottish when when I
was there and I played Saint

908
00:44:31,240 --> 00:44:34,000
Andrews and I was playing the
second one and the guy's going

909
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,360
like, yeah, we had a guy come
out here.

910
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:38,880
You told this story.
Yeah, I remember.

911
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,160
Yeah, have I told it online?
Yeah, yeah, you've told it on

912
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,440
here too.
Oh the 2 bottles, Oh my God, I

913
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,000
just think about that.
Go like wow.

914
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,760
Yeah, I don't think I'm good
after about 1/5.

915
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,040
I don't think so.
Yeah, well my between the two of

916
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,400
us would be fine.
Yeah, that's fair.

917
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:53,960
Yeah.
And that.

918
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,520
But that would be that would be
it.

919
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,480
Yeah, and then I'd lay down on
the grass and take a nap.

920
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,120
Yeah, that's what you got to do.
Little golf nap never hurt

921
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:03,920
anybody.
I think that's great.

922
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,960
What time are we at here?
What are we clocking in at?

923
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,440
We're almost, we're almost at
50.

924
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,680
You've been talking a lot.
We're almost at 50 with the

925
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,080
intro.
We're pretty much done here.

926
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,120
We could wrap up.
So Bass.

927
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:20,760
Pro shop is wow.
I'm I, I I want to go, I think.

928
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:21,920
We're I think we're going to go
I.

929
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,320
Think we're going to go.
I think we need to book it.

930
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,760
You're you're saying September?
October.

931
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,080
You want me to book it?
I'll book it.

932
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,800
No, no, no, no, no.
Well, but I have the can I send

933
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,680

No, you do it.

934
00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:33,440
You do it with your card.
We what?

935
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,840
The three.
OK, you book it.

936
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,000
I want the points.
We got to get a date.

937
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:39,880
We got to set.
We got to set a date together.

938
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,520
September 18th.
Sounds good.

939
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,200
Maybe we can tell our listeners
and they'll be there too.

940
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,880
September 18th.
OK, Lisbon, Porto, Your mother

941
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,400
and I are going from the 2nd to
the 13th.

942
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,120
There you go.
So can we probably go?

943
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,400
Nothing like going to Lisbon and
then to bass pro shops right

944
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:00,120
after.
That's awesome.

945
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,520
It's.
Can we go like the 25th?

946
00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:04,720
18th or nothing, I think that
that's pretty much how it's

947
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:07,080
going to go.
OK, well, that's the way you

948
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,400
feel.
No, no, 25th sounds great.

949
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,600
We're just going for the day.
Oh, am I going to fly across the

950
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:13,720
country for the day?
Oh.

951
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,840
It's just for the day.
The 18th is that.

952
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,320
Is that the whole thing?
Let me just fly there.

953
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,240
Now you know the 18th is a
Thursday.

954
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,440
Oh, is it really?
So Thursday, Friday you got to

955
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,840
be there.
A Friday and a Saturday you have

956
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:25,760
to be.
I think so.

957
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:28,720
It's hillbilly country and we
want to get all and we want to

958
00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:31,520
get some banjos and we want to
get and we want to get some

959
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:35,120
funny hats and we want to run
around and we want to go do the

960
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:36,880
Ling Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding,
Ding, Ding Ding.

961
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:38,800
Watch Deliverance while we're
there.

962
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,720
Oh my God, yeah, we will go to
the theater and see if we get a

963
00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:44,760
