(upbeat music) aha, good evening, and welcome back to Texas Wild, With Ryan Prigmore, we're here for another wonderful episode, Diana, my lovely and usually trusty co-host, is late this evening, but she'll make it. Diana, if you're listening, I forgive you. Tonight, we're here in the studio live with David Alexander. This gentleman owns Jay Ware's custom apparel, and he is taking care of a, I won't say large order, but a good order for blue diver search and recovery. He's making some more of our hats, because mine is just, had it. Get it? - Beyond had it, that's true. - Anyway, David, tell us a little bit about some of your, you're an adventurer, aren't you? - I am a little bit. - You are a little bit mild at my age. You're a diver, aren't you? - I am, I've been diving for a long time. I got certified back in '92. - '92? - Yeah, I was about 19 years old, 20 years old. - Man, that's, that's, that's jock coostos. That's stuff. - I know, we invented a lot of things back then, like Aarona. - They only had two or three brands of scuba gear back there. - That's bad to hear, right? - Day corn, U.S. divers. - Exactly. I did that, so I learned the passion from diving from my uncle, he dove. When I was younger, I'd go look at all of his equipment, and it just fascinated me, and it's just something about it, and I've always, beyond that, I loved water. Like, as a kid, I was always in the pool, always at the lake swimming. I grew up on Lake Granberry. - Right on. - Always at the lakes. - That's one of my favorite lakes to dive in. - I found a Rolex there last week. - Yeah, it was a paid recovery, but nice. I've done some diving there, but I didn't find much of, nothing like that, not like a Rolex. - You gotta go to Party Cove. - That's true. - That's where all the good stuff is. At the time, I was definitely young at a diving, and I had a friend that lived on the lake, and we just dove around their dock to see if we could find what was underneath there. - Right, but all you find? - Mostly trash. - Mostly trash tires. Old things, people want to get rid of lawn furniture, that kind of thing. That's kind of nice. - Stuff people that want to get rid of. That's interesting, 'cause I remember, I did a dive on Possum Kingdom a few years ago. It was one of the very first scuba dives that I ever filmed for my page, and it was a cell phone dive, and this is before TikTok let you upload 10-minute videos, and I had to do three or four dives, so the video was really long, and I think I posted it in two different sections where I posted searching for it versus finding it, and I remember that the bottom of that slip, it looked like somebody had backed a U-haul down to the lake, and just emptied it right there in the slip. I found there was a big recliner, there was a deep freezer, there was a TV. It's like somebody, I guess, they lost their slip or something, or their boat was auctioned off, and they didn't want to take all that crap home, so they just pushed it all in the slip, so that we're done with it. Yeah. - Pay for trash dump or throw it in the lake. - Yeah, I mean, that's pretty much exactly what it looked like. I wound up finding the phone, it took a while, but I did find it, and it was a nice experience, good experience. - I guess doing that it helps raise the lake levels. - Yeah, yeah, sure. I mean, not noticeably, but yeah, I mean, if we're talking science, yeah, it works, so yeah. - So yeah, I've done also some diving in PK as well, back in the day when there was scuba point. - Yeah, that was a long time ago, they haven't had that open in a long time. - No, they haven't. I went out to scuba point, actually I went to PK, scuba point area, seven years ago, and we took our camper, did some camping on the weekend with some friends, they brought their boats, we hung out. It was wonderful, but when I got there, I was like, this place looks familiar. They've been so long, and we got there, I was like, once I saw that hill on down the lake, I said, ah, this is scuba point, it's not here anymore, it's kind of sad about it, 'cause definitely did a lot of diving at scuba point, it was really fun. - Well, we're on the subject of PK and Grandberry, Whitney, is another good lake, and all three of these lakes are on the Brazos River Basin. - Okay, so they're all filtered by limestone. - Grandberry is by far the dirtiest, but it's still clear. You have to take your own light, but it's still clear, you can still see. - Yeah. - Possum Kingdom and Whitney are, I mean, that's like tap water, clear. - One of the dives I've never done was Whitney, I don't think I've ever been to Whitney. - I went down a hundred. - I now stall around it. - I went down a hundred and ten feet and Whitney once for a cell phone, I never found it. - Wow. - The topographical map that I looked at, said that I could expect to find the bottom around 38 feet deep, and at 38 feet, I looked down, and it was just a black abyss below my fins. - Okay. - So I kept going, and kept going, and kept going, and right around 85 feet, my feet touched at the bottom of the cliff. - Oh wow. - And then from there, it just sloped off into darkness. - Okay. - And I explored for probably, I don't know, at 110 feet, you don't have a lot of bottom time, you don't have a lot of air left at that. - Not to mention light. - Right. Well, if you have a light, you got plenty of it. - Yeah. But, you know, I poked around for about as long as I felt comfortable doing, and then I headed back up, I never did find that phone, they were really upset about it. We took our underwater drone down there too, and we, I don't know, we spent a half hour with the drone just in the water, looking around, and never found it. - I didn't know, I didn't know that, I didn't really didn't know Whitney was that deep. - Yeah, it's a lot deeper than I thought. It's a lot deeper than I knew it was. - Deepest I've been in, in a lake here in Texas, or any like period, was Travis. We were on the lake Travis, and we did a shore dive at night. I mean, a buddy did a shore dive at night up by the dam, and we were just rolling down, watching our, watching our depth, and just keep on going. The next thing you know, we're 70, 80 feet. Next thing, when we look at it again, and we're well beyond 120, and we're like, whoa. - Excellent, yep. - This lake's really deep over here. - Start kicking, let's go up, let's turn around, come on up. I mean, we weren't really looking for anything particular, it was just a night dive, just to get it in, back in the day, and it's on. - When that lake's full, that sucker is 210 feet deep, at it's like, that lake is horrible right now. - It makes me nervous, it's the deep, yeah. - It's, Canyon Lake is like that too, if you ever been to Canyon Lake? - I've never been to Canyon Lake, that's what I wanna do. - Canyon Lake is as clear as that wind. - Really? - Yup, 50 feet of it is easy. - I'd like to go there, I'd like to blue lagoon, I'd like to try that, give that a shot at it. - I haven't done blue lagoon, I'd like to try blue hole, but I heard that, I don't think they let divers in blue hole anymore. - No, Jacob's well is the one I'm thinking about. - Jacob's well there won't let you do that. - Yeah, yeah. - And they got bars over the cave down there, somebody went down and cut the bars out, so I think that's why they closed it permanently. - Yeah, I went to, we were down that area a couple years ago on just a weekend trip, getaway, and we were gonna run by Jacob's hole, but it was actually shut down, something about the water. - Jacob's well, yeah, Jacob's well, yeah. Something was about the water, there's some contamination or something in the water, so they had it shut down, you couldn't do any. - I think it was, is it crypto-sporidium? - I think it was, yes it was. - The brain-eating bacteria that, I think it's present in stagnant water and it goes up your nose and feasts on your brain material. - Right. - Brain matter? - It'd be really hunger by the time it went with me. (laughing) - It'd be starving if it came after me. - Right, exactly. - So yeah, I've done some diving, but I got married when I was about 24, had kids right away, and so I put my dive gear away 'cause you don't have the time as a new dad and you definitely don't have the money. - Well, I don't have any kids that I know of, so I wouldn't know about that. That's the way to keep diving, just do it out of way. - Just don't have kids that you know of. - They ruined my hobby. - Yeah, well, I mean-- - I love the dad, but yeah, probably rather have your kids than dive in. - I'm actually, I would try to get my kids into diving. They love the water just like I do. - Well, what's stopping you? Never, damn. I've never got them into the passion of wanting to do it. And you know. - Look who it is. It's our faithful co-host, Diana Marie Yurick. Welcome to the show, Diana. - Welcome, we can start now. - Yeah, we can finally get started. - So, here is your new dive watch that I got for you. You don't have to wear that God-awful-looking G-Shock anymore. - Hey, I love the G-Shock, but I didn't think of that. Did you just say you wanted it back? - Oh, you're giving it back? - Who said you wanted it back? - Well, I do have a thing for black and gold watches. Look at the one I'm wearing now. I mean, it's a fine watch. - That's pretty. - But, you know, it's kind of-- - But I can gold. - Yeah. It's kind of, what's the word I'm looking for? Oftentatious on her wrist. - There you go, yeah. - She's a very petite young lady in this. - I was just saying, I think it's, yeah. - Yeah. - Oh, are they not working? Oh, you're in Microsoft. Two, three, four, five. Hang on. There you are. Can you hear me? - Hello. - Hello. - Hello, can you hear me? Nothing? - Yes. - Hello. - Awesome. All right. Diana's back. - Finally on. - Diana. - She is, not here. - This is David Alexander. This is a gentleman that's making all the new hats for Blue Diver Search and Recovery. - Oh, awesome. - Diana is embarking on a juggling convention in Colorado this weekend. Tell us a little bit about that. - Juggling, huh? - Yeah. - So, juggling conventions are actually quite a bit of fun. - I've never been to one. - I never thought I was gonna go to one. - Hang on. We lost you. Hey, can you move to the next mic, please? I'm not gonna go tinkering with microphone cables and cords and plugs. We're turning number five off and turning number four on. - I can hear you moving around over there so I know it works. - All right. - All right, here we are. Here's Diana. - So, yeah, I mean, a whole bunch of clowns and sideshow artists and et cetera. I get together for a weekend and just do a lot of practicing. There's workshops. - Sounds like a-- - Close at times there's some vendors. There's gonna be vendors at this one. - Sounds like quite a circus. - That's a goal. - That's a goal. - Yeah, a good one. - Oh, yeah, I mean, it is like, because it is kind of a sideshow artist, some people are contortionist and do other types of art as well. So, it is a whole variety. - Have you ever had somebody-- - Public performances at night. - Have you ever had somebody introduce themselves to you as sideshow, Bob? - No, not that one. - Okay. Well, you also have a clown persona, don't you? - That you're developing. It's in the works. - Definitely in the works. I have gone out as a clown once. - Have you named your clown persona yet? - No, I haven't gotten that far into it. I know I need to and I have thought about it, but I haven't officially done it yet. - That's remarkable. Are you considering going with Longbelly for your clown name? - No, that was not one that occurred to me. - No, okay. - That's probably more of a diver one. - How about fashionably late? (both laughing) - It's the dog sitter's fault. He was fashionably late. - Always blaming on someone else. - I'm on the dog sitter. - Well, we're happy to have you in the studio with us. David, tell us a little bit about your business. - Okay, so then brewery business, so years ago, say years ago, about 20 years ago, I got into the vinyl cutting business. I was part of a cheap club. - Sticky situation, huh? - Very, very sticky situation. We did a, I was part of a cheap club. We did a lot of off-roading. - North Texas deep club? - No, it was not. It was a DFW Texas four-wheel drive. - Oh, okay. - They had chapters all over Texas. They had the North Texas chapter, San Antonio, Austin, Houston, all over the place. But our chapter, we were buying stickers and I'm kind of one of those creative guys and I was like, hey, I got this thing called a vinyl cutter that I found online. Well, actually, what online? It was on Craigslist back in the day. - I still get on Craigslist occasionally. - I do too. Thanks to the room. - It is, yeah. - It's still going, Craig is still in the business. So I found a vinyl cutter. - I was under something like a month ago on there. - Wow. So I found a vinyl cutter and bought it and I told the club, I'll just start making the stickers and went from there. And I kind of put everything away for a few years and then just recently, about four years ago, my wife and I were talking about starting her business and she was starting a business that it offered medical care to correctional facilities. Facilities that don't have like Parkland, takes care of Dallas, JPS, takes care of Tarrant County, but like Johnson County, Wise County, they got to go through the third party to take care of the inmates health issues. Well, she was going to do that and her and her partners, like, well, we want our scrubs to be embroidered and your husband does stickers and this kind of thing. Why don't you get them to do embroidery? And I was like, sure, how hard can it be? So we bought an embroidery machine, a commercial embroidery machine and we brought it home and I had to call a technician. He's like, okay, what's wrong with it? What's going on? I'm like, how do I turn it on? He said, you've never embroidered your life? Was it never? Nope. So that was the adventure. That was the start of the adventure and it's been going good and in the four years we've been going, it's, well, before years this October, it's, we've had a lot of heartache and a lot of learning. I've still got a lot to learn, but things are done going good. We're definitely getting it down. We're opening our business now. We just bought a laser machine so we can do like hat patches. We can, like that right there? We can definitely embroider on slate or you can embroider on slate, any. I guess it depends on how hard the needle is. (laughing) But yeah, you can, laser on slate, leather, wood, acrylic, you know, all kinds of stuff. Really branching out. We really are because we- That's awesome. We definitely like the embroidery and the apparel business side of it, but hats and t-shirts and company business shirts only take you so far, you know, and it's like, hey, what else can we do to our company to help it grow and make it become something? Okay, definitely. So, well, I'm going to need a decal for my new boat, for her name. Definitely. Is that something you can do? We definitely can. Right on, it's a, it's 11 and a half feet wide, so can it be, you know, sizable? Yeah, yeah, definitely. For sure, we can, our vinyl cutter can fit 24 inches by indefinite. Wow. So as long as your, so if your letter was 24 inches long, and actually we can go longer than that because our vinyl cutter will cut it in two pieces, three pieces, whatever you need. Then it's just as you apply it, you've got to make sure it's all lined up to look good. Do you do that too? We do. Okay, 'cause I will screw it up. And that's one thing I like to tell people a lot of time that I'll be like, hey, I want to get some stickers from my food truck or my car or my this. And they're usually big stickers, big vinyl. And I'm like, do you want to put it on? 'Cause this is what I charge per the hour to put it on labor-wise. And someone be like, no, no, I'll let you do it. And other ones will be like, no, I'll do it. And I'm like, yes, 'cause you'll be coming back. 'Cause you're going to mess. 'Cause you're going to mess it up for sure. 'Cause I mess it up. But when I mess it up, I just recut it, of course. But you know. It doesn't cost you as much as it costs him. Exactly. My labor's definitely not as expensive for holding other stickers. I'm happy to have you come to Eagle Mountain Lake and do it for me. I don't mind at all. I want it done once, and that's it. I'll just get on my scuba gear and get in the water with you and just put the sticker on. No, it's going to be on the transom. It's above the water. I was just, you're going to do it. I don't think I could put a sticker on in water. I don't think I can sit still long enough. You don't have waterproof stickers? We do. Oh, well, actually, what it is, it's not waterproof stickers. We do put the stickers on a wet application. You can move it around. It's not so permanent right away. It's basically the same principles when they window tent your car. They put it on, they spread all, it's all wet, so they can move it around, manipulate it. And that's why I say don't roll your windows down. 24 hours. Exactly. Same with us, same with us. We'll put it on wet and we can get all the air bubbles out and all the water out. And you let it dry. Actually, with vinyl though, it dries within about 20 minutes. Solved enough that you could do what you need to with it. Right, you take a bow for a crew. You definitely have to worry about it. Yeah, yeah. We can put it on and while it's drawn, we're undocking and getting ready. And by the time we're ready, it goes, let's go. I think I'm going to name it the Misty May. The Misty May, is there a story behind that? Not really, just a, you know, a wet month. (laughing) I like it, I like it. This may be a little more than Misty, that's for sure. They're saying it's the fifth-wettest year on record. And I believe it. I mean, Eagle Mountain Lake was nine feet low and it filled up in two months. Yeah, it was a lot of rain. That's a lot of rain. Yeah, the dock where my boat is is an uphill walk to the dock. Really? Where it's normally an uphill walk to the shore. Yeah. First time I've ever seen that. I've never seen it up that high. Yeah, in two months. Two months. And I've been telling everybody, you know, we're due for a major rain event. In a first-name storm of the season hit yesterday down in Corpus Christi, and they're dealing with that. And I mean, the last three months have just been soakers. It really has. How many days are we waved off at Ray Roberts because it was storming? Oh, so many. And then overnight, the water, we were working the boat ramp and we had this nice big concrete slab with two cleats out here on the outboard corner where we can stash the boats that we're pulling in that are flipped over. And I think overnight, we came down there the next day and all of it was underwater. So now we're-- So we're underwater. I walked out, but I was kind of confused for a moment. I'm like, where did our dock go? The dock was there. You just had to walk through water to get to the dock. Yeah, so now when we unload the impact of the tow boat that we've been using, when we unload the pumps and the compressors and the hoses and the boxes in the strag-- all the shit that's on that boat, we have to carry it through knee-deep water to get it to the dock, to get it to the ramp. Yeah. I mean, the boxes, they all float, thankfully. Right, but still. Pumps and compressors don't. But everything does, no. For sure. And the longer the water stays up, the more slippery it becomes because all that crap starts to settle. Those docks are like ice now. Yeah, I believe it, yeah. It's crazy, it's wild, but thankfully, it's coming back down. Oh, is it? Yeah. This is concrete, not metal. Exactly. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So thankfully, it's coming down and we've got, you know, some traction that we can do in there. Of course, you see what I wear on my feet. These crocs don't provide you any level of traction at all. Because you ain't got them in sport mode. Well, yeah, well, that's not going to help my kids call it. That's not going to help the traction on the bottom, though. I call it four-wheel drive. No, but when you fall, that ain't going anywhere. Yeah, they'll stick on your feet unless you step in mud where your foot goes-- [GROWLING] When you pull it out, then you lose your shoe. You're done, yeah. So you have arms of the same length as your legs. You can reach down there and get it. Right. Right. It's not worth it. It's just a croc. Now, Diana here, she'd be out of luck because her legs go all the way up to her butt. It's a really long leg. Yeah. Long legs, long belly. I'm just kind of long. Yeah. But she doesn't wear crocs. No, I don't wear crocs. So that's to her benefit. Not refused to. Too much self-respect, I think, is what it is. I won't lie. I bought my first crocs about five months ago. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a sandals dude. I hate sandals. I hate my shoes. I wear flip flops out. It takes maybe a month per pair. Oh, you wear them out, wear them out. Yeah. You wear them out like a date. No, I'm like on date now. Both. I'm ashamed of my toe. I'm ashamed of my toe nails. I got you. I don't wear flip flops out very often. So we were actually at the store and me and the wife were shopping and I was right there in front of all the crocs. I'm like, I'm going to try a pair. Oh. She was, no, you're not. I'm going to do it. So I did. I tried a pair. I was like, I actually feel kind of comfortable. You're enjoying it? Yeah. So I put them back up because you're going to buy them. I'm like, nah, I'm going to buy them. I ain't buying crocs. I'm giving my kids so much crap about the crocs they have. You know, they got so many pairs and we left the store. We went home and about three days later, I want to throw them by myself and bought a pair and kind of took them home and hit them. It took me about a week to get them out and actually work. Now, when I'm at home, shoes come off, when I'm doing the embroidery and I'm out there working on things. Crocs. I mean, shoes come off, crocs go on. Here's the funny thing about crocs that not everybody knows. Do you remember the movie "Idiocracy"? I do. Okay. I didn't try that movie. That movie was the debut appearance of crocs. Okay. When people are getting dumber and dumber and dumber. That's not where the crocs handle that. Yeah, they're wearing crocs in the movie. Makes sense. So it's actually coming to pass and people are, you know, resorting to crocs as they're daily. I don't know about daily, but, you know, they're leisure wear, I guess, what you call. I really tried to wear them at home all the time. Keep them there. You know, I have boundaries. Don't wear them out in public. But next thing, you know, I find myself at Home Depot or Lowe's or somewhere. I'm like, oh man, I got my, oh well, who cares. Yeah, sometimes I get to the age where I'm just, I want comfort over style. Yeah, a lot of people are saying that, I mean, that's almost a guaranteed way to tell if somebody's just about giving up on life as if they were crocs out in public. But you know what? I will paint my new boat with a Q-tip before I care what anyone thinks about what I wear or how I dress or who I am. I told, I told the wives, I do not care. I told wives, I'm getting to the age now where you may see me out in the yard and a dress just because it's comfortable, right? Because sundresses ain't just for the ladies anymore. You know, they are. I'll call it a kill, but it's going to be comfortable. Okay. So here's a funny story. I told you about when I was invited out to Florida to be on the treasure crew. Uh-huh. Okay, let's back up before that. My father spent a lot of time in Southeast Asia, right? Okay. And I remember when I was a kid, I remember seeing him wearing a sarong. It's common, you know, men's wear in Southeast Asia. And he'd be sitting in the corner of the room, chowing down on a bowl of fried rice, wearing a sarong, looking like he's living his best life. Love that. And I thought, well, you know, it makes sense, it's pretty comfortable. So I started buying them. I've got a handful of them. Okay. And, uh, it's probably one of the most common, uh, most comfortable things I own. Okay. Because it's a sarong. And they're actually really useful because you can actually change clothes with the thing on and nobody sees anything. You can get it wet, put it around your neck, keep you cool. You can wear it like a head scarf, uh, to keep you from getting sunburned, be helpful for you. And that guy I have a row with right now, Don, his little liver spotted head, um, it's just, you can lay it down and keep you from getting sand and all your naughty bits. Yeah. Um, there, it's just, it's a wonderful piece of fabric and I carry one almost everywhere I go. You make me want to go to Amazon right now and get me one. I'm telling you, man. They have really nice ones, actually. It's a very versatile piece of fabric. That's, that's where it stops. It's versatile. Right. I'm going to fly anywhere you can bet I'm going to be comfortable. For instance, in January, I flew up to Michigan to visit with my sister Shannon and I wore the biggest, thickest, heaviest, fluffy robe that I own and pajamas because I'm going to be comfortable on a plane. Turns out I was really, really uncomfortable because the plane was freaking hot. But when we landed, it was still 31 degrees in Michigan and I was comfortable again. So it stands to reason. If I'm going somewhere out of this state, I'm going to be comfortable on the way. I wore a sarong to Florida, right? And Don, the old man that I'm arguing with right now, has not yet let me live it down. He tells everyone I wore a dress to Florida and that's not the case. It's a sarong, but I can see it's all in the detail. Yeah. It's all in the details. It's a flowy piece of fabric and I was naked underneath. So sure. You want to call it a dress? It's a dress. I don't care. Right. I agree. I agree 100% as long as you're comfortable. That's right. I'll wear it out in public. I got no qualms about it at all. But I will not put on a sundress. I draw the line there. Yeah. If it's got shoulder straps and wear it, if I can slide around my waist, it's, you know, if it's just a piece of fabric that I can get away with, it's a shoulder straps that leave you a tan line. That's why you won't get it. That's right. That's exactly right. And Chris and I have talked about it often. The reason we have a dress on, because we don't have to wear pants. And that's it. We don't have to find match clothes. You don't have to. Yeah. You don't have to try to match. Try to find clean clothes. It's just one piece. And it's comfortable, right? Yes. I mean, wind blows through it. And it's all flowy. I mean... Well, depending on which ones you have. That's made with shorts, man. I just, I'm always in shorts. If you see them even pants, it's a funeral or a wedding probably. I get too cold for that. Or winter time. Her mom's talking me to go into church, you know. Right. Yeah. Usually it's, no, even winter time. If it's, it doesn't, it's got to get down below 20 before I'll put some pants on. It's funny how we changed, isn't it? It is. When I was in oil business, I didn't go anywhere unless I was wearing one of my nicer suits. Now I still own a few suits, but I haven't had them tailored in years. A few years ago, I actually got decompression sickness from my diving and I had to take six months off. I sat around eating breakfast for six months every day. I mean, three meals a day, and I got myself to a situation where every single suit that I own needs to be tailored. Yeah. That's what you call it. That's funny. You say that because I actually noticed a few days ago that the back plate and wing that I wear for diving is no longer as heavy underwater as it used to be when I wore it. Imagine that. Yeah. I actually had to do the whole bird thing to get myself down. It was an Eagle Mountain Lake the other day when I was diving for that wallet in Party Co. Oh, man. I had to push off the boat to get down. That's the worst. It finally worked, but man, you sure do come up quick. That's, that's the thing, you know, I go diving, I go diving in the ocean and salt water. We do a lot of, last few dives, we've done a lot of negative buoyancy. You dive in completely overweighted and no air. Oh, perfect. Yeah. And you dive and you just go. But we dive and we all go, we go the same time, we all dive and go. We all dive, but they all go. I'm on a surface. Still doing what you're doing. Come on, man. Come on. I need some more. Maybe some more weight. I need some more weight. Well, we're going to wind this down. We've got to take a break, pay some bills and do some of that. But when we come back, I'll read this handy-dandy little commercial that they've highlighted here and I don't know what the highlighting means, but I bet you I'm going to figure it out. Sounds good.

We would love to advertise for you. I would definitely do that. Could you pull your mic up a little bit so we can hear you say that again? I would definitely do that. You would? Well, I have just the person for you to speak with. Alright. Her name is Tiffany. She is our lovely faithful station owner and I can send you her phone number as soon as we're done here. Okay. Alright. That's the plan. So, let's talk about something that we were talking about during the break for just a second. Watches, dive watches, non-dive watches, otherwise. Anyway, they were not in Victor watches. They were even cheaper, which is hard to do. Okay, so even some in Victor watches have a Swiss movement. Correct. Well, I mean, that's no worse than a Seiko or a citizen, right? Right. Right. But some of them are also made in China. Movements are made in China and they're just trash watches. What I found was most certainly not in Victor watches, but hers was in there and there was also what they call an homage watch. It's a watch that's made to look like one of the higher end watches, but it's made as an homage to them. It's not meant to be a cop. It's not pure, fake, or replica. It's just a decent watch. There was one of those. There was this piece of junk and her nice, you know, dive watches that she really likes. So, I got three watches for 80 bucks for, you know, watches that we can tear up at work that aren't G-Shock. G-Shock is a great watch. Navy SEALs wear a G-Shock. I've heard that. Yes. But you can't see this thing underwater to save your life and that's what we need. I harp on it to wear a watch underwater because it helps to wear a watch underwater when you have safety stops to do, etc. you need to track your dive time, things like that. But this one, as great of a watch as it is, you could not see it underwater because the light is just atrocious on it. And I found it that one to replace it with and I'm glad I did. Me too. She's very fond of it. I was very fond of that one, but I'm even more fond of this one. She's got a brand new battery in it. Had it done today. It fits your wrist. It does feel a little bit better. Kind of, doesn't look like you borrowed your dad's watch. I don't think she wore this one outside of diving, didn't you? I used to wear it. Do you really? Yeah. When you first gave it to me, I was wearing it all the time. It just fell off during the summer. Having the multiple wetsuits and climbing in and out of them made the watch just really obnoxious. Right. Could you go to pull your arm out? Oh, every time, every single time, I'd forget that I had the watch on over and then all of a sudden I am just locked in this wetsuit that is half off and half off and having to push my wrist all the way back through. You know why? That's a problem. You've got to watch it. But give me a hand for that, Joe. Tink-tink. Yeah, there we go. Wait a second. But what you also recently got was a fancy heads up display and I now have. Your dive time inside. How do you lie? I've seen that and I've seen in some of your posts that you have it on your mask, I'm like, how is that? Man, it is game changing. It is a complete game changer for anything search and recovery because it provides you with a compass that you can see at all times. Okay. Your tank pressure, which is remarkable because at 35 feet deep, you can't see a backlit computer screen. Correct. Yeah. Not in black water anyway. Sure. And you're in your fancy blue water ocean. I haven't. You see everything. Yeah. But in what we do, especially once you start up the bottom, you can't see anything. There's even times when you start up the bottom that the heads up display goes black because there's so much junk swirling around, you can't see at all, but all you have to do is move your head. Right. But it's a game changer. Your compass, your tank pressure at all times, water temperature, heading, time, bottom time. Yeah. You don't have to be grabbing for your console all the time. Yeah. You don't even have to go hunting for it. It's just right there in your vision. Yeah. It's just right there in your vision. But I mean, not directly. And so you can still see completely with that eye. Right. You can fold it up out of the way. Yeah, that too. It's like those hippie sunglasses back in the day. Right. Does it get in the way? No. Not at all. Like if you're trying to get close or anything. Oh, there are. There are some like that where you're trying to go through something small and tight. If you're diving amongst structure, you don't want to really bang it around a whole bunch. So there are times when, yeah, it can kind of get in the way, but I mean, you learn to deal with it. You learn to accommodate it. It's not that big. Yeah. I'm back in the diving world in the last probably six years getting heavier back into it. There's been so many changes. Oh, yeah. From training all the way down to equipment for sure, but that's I'm trying to get caught up on a lot of the new stuff. I'm like, man, there's just so much new toys that some of you need to come out to my boat slip sometime and try out that heads up display and see if you like it. I absolutely insist on my divers, the ones that work with me, they definitely need the heads up display. I insist on it. I can see where that'd be useful for sure. Yeah. Another diver just got hit as well. You saw that we, he got me mine and he got jealous, so Matt went and bought him one as well. Randy, if you're out there, I'm still buying yours, buddy, the guy that was on the show last week, Randy Zilke, he is, no, it was the week before last, wasn't it? Or was it last week that Randy was on? You weren't here. I was not. Yeah. Anyway, he's an adventurer through and through. He was telling us a story about he was on something like a 25 mile bicycle ride, and he came upon this gentleman who was riding on the lane, he went to pass him, and he looked behind him and he noticed that the guy was keeping up with him, and he's a very competitive individual, so he, you know, he put the gas on, he tried to outrun the guy and he couldn't do it. And he finally pulled over and said, "Who are you?" Dude, it's like a 73 year old bicyclist who's ridden in Spain and France and done all these tours, and he's like, "Dude, this guy's like 40 years old and 73 year old." Keep it up with him, not even breathing hard. Anyway, this guy is also a diver, he's dove all kinds of cool places, but he has one of those heads up displays that's for sale for $500. Okay. Can't turn that down. Can't miss, can't let that go. That's over half by half off. That's, I sort of say, yeah, that's about half off. Yeah. So I'll have an extra. You're welcome to come out and dive with us, come to the mass transmitter computer. All of it. As I was going to say, does it attach to the mask, or can you put it on any mask? No, it has to be priced. It has to be the mask. It has a proprietary mask. Yeah, I thought it did. I thought it did. It's a pretty nice mask, though. Yeah, oh yeah. There's two masks that ScubaPro came out with that will accept the dive computer, but there's no other mask on the market that you can put it on. It has to be a ScubaPro mask. Okay, I got you. A specific ScubaPro mask. Yeah, it can't just be a ScubaPro, it's got to be a specific one. Right. Right. I like my Hollis. Do you? Do you like Hollis Care? I like my Hollis Mask. I have a few Hollis regulators that I've never had one problem out of. I'm an aquilung guy, I'm a US diver's kind of guy. Well, I mean, aquilung is kind of the original, that's essentially how long ago I got into it. It was aquilung. But, yeah, it's US divers. Do you wear a red beanie, too? I do not. I do. I need to get one. I wear one as a black one. I wear one as an homage to Jacques Cousteau. You know, we talked about that yesterday briefly about that. You asked me about that. And I thought, you know what? I need to go get me a red beanie. I actually have one in our apparel stock. I probably need to get one. Yeah. Right on. I need one with a Velcro patch. Can you do that? We can. Yeah. One of the companies that I'm contracted with now, Tobote US, the guy who is the head guy of Tobote US for Louisville, Ray Roberts, and is it Rayburn, the same Rayburn? I can't remember. I don't remember. Louisville, Ray Roberts. Oh, it's Grapevine. He's on Grapevine now, too. Oh, right. He owns a company called Perdido Marine, but rather than make hats for all of the people that he works with, he made patches because they're significantly cheaper. Nice. Yeah. And we had her. We had more detail than... It does. The patches you do come out a lot cleaner. And you do those, too, don't you? Yeah. Okay. You can do patches. Make me a pile, just a pile of blue diver patches about that big with my logo. I'll send you the high definition logo. Okay. If you would, please, and I'll be happy to square you up for them. The one with the logo with the tanks and the skull, okay. The tanks on the cross. Skull and cross tanks. Yeah. There you go. I love that logo. Butty of mine, before he passed away, actually designed that for me and put it all together. Okay. Yeah. He did a really, really bang up job. I don't know. Thank you. Pretty nice. I like it. I'm going to steal it. It's great. I wear it all the time. Do what? It's great. I wear it all the time. Do you wear it all the time, right? Yes. What logo? The blue diver logo. On what? My shirt. Oh, that's right. You have the shirt. Don't you don't see it? Butty? No. Wait, wait, what? I've been wearing the shirts to work every day. Every day. That's right. The ones you've seen me in. Yes. I mean, I had what... I made you 10 shirts, right? Five. I got out. There's your other five. We need them in white. Okay. We definitely need to have a white. We're doing white with the red logo because it's freaking hard. Yeah. Well, it's for when we're on the surface. Oh, okay. Yeah. I got you. I know that. The black ones are kind of hot in the summer. They are. I just had a, I had a company order long sleeve, polo, black shirts and it's a towing and it's a record company. And I'm like, you don't want black. They're like, that's our color. I'm like, all right. I'll go for it. I mean, I'll do whatever you want. I will stitch whatever you want. You ask me what they're doing. I mean, but I'm like, they probably have good air conditioning and that's what it is. They've got good air conditioning in their trucks. I mean, in the truck, yes, but they spend a lot of time outside of the truck in the Texas heat. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, black and red is our thing too, but it's a blue diver and that's the funny thing. Right? It is. The only blue in any of my merchandise is the diver on my hat. That's it. Not these new hats. I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. They're blue. I saw the video. It's okay. I did. I told them, I was like, look, it's called blue diver, but it's in red. Yeah. That's the joke. Everything. Everything is a joke. Gotta be. And I'll tell you why everything is a joke because none of us asked to be here. True. The entirety of our existence is the biggest joke that's being perpetuated on humanity because none of us asked us to be here. But here we are forced to go through it and deal with it and we're not getting out alive. Yeah. None of us is getting out alive. It's all a big freaking joke. Yeah. You got to treat it that way. You know, if you take it too seriously, it just makes life harder. Right. Yeah. And you wind up miserable the whole way to your grave. That's right. I don't want to be that way. And exactly right. Hence me going to a juggling convention. So everything is a joke. I've juggled some conventions, but I've never been to a juggling convention. That's a good one. But I mean, the black shirts are good because it doesn't matter what you've stirred up on the bottom or what you've had to swim through or the gun that you've knocked off the boat. You're not going to see it on a black shirt. It's going to be clean. Yeah. White shirts are another story. Yeah. I'll wear out a white shirt before I leave the house. But for work, I mean, they're going to get worn out. They're going to be dirty. Right. So might as well make them comfortable too. For sure. Black shirts on a hot summer day don't suck. And I agree. You don't want to get out of the water nice and cool and try to dry off and you're in a black shirt and you just keep sweating. It's like you. It's like you can't get out of Houston. Yeah. So true. Yeah. That is a statement that is so true. So we need some beanies with Velcro. Okay. Perdido marine patches from Mr. Jeremy Carter on and I wouldn't mind having a couple hats with Velcro too. Okay. Black ball caps. It's just the Velcro on it. Yeah. That way you can put the patch on it. That way I can use my patch or his patch. There you go. I like it. Yeah. So his is in my car. Yeah. Mine the one he gave me is on my bike. Or that way for your employees you switch them out. You can be like, hey, she's gone. He's in. She's gone. He's in you. Or if I rob a bank I can just swap them out. So nope, that's not me. Most of somebody else. That was that other company. Yeah. That's right. So square patch with the round logo would be perfect. If you could. All right. Yeah. We'll talk about that for sure. Yeah. We definitely have the capability of doing that. So do you want to come out and do some black water diving and put another notch in your diving belt? Well, you know, I like that blue water pretty good. Actually, yeah. I wouldn't mind. I would love. I still love the lake diving. I really do. I just... I know this is going to sound bad, but I've dove it for so long that when you get in the water, you're just like, "Uh, what am I going to see? What am I going to do?" Like you, y'all do it for a living. You go and search for things. You recover things. Right. I have friends that work like, "Hey, man, let's go scuba dive this weekend." I'm like, "Okay. Where? What are we going to do?" And they're like, "I wish we could go here and swim around." I'm like, "I don't want to lug all that around for that." Clean it up. But I do like to do lake diving because it does keep you up on the skills. It keeps you up on your buoyancy. Right. You try that new equipment. There's no better redundant training than sending yourself down in a black water environment because then you find out how well you really know your gear. I can tell you that back in the day when I was diving, it might have been because I was younger and healthier, but all the lake diving, and I did a lot of lake diving because I didn't have the money to go to the oceans. Right. So I did a lot of lake diving. I was actually working on trying to get my instructor lessons back in the day. I remember you'd mentioned that yesterday. So I did a lot of diving. I did a lot of training with the classes I would go and help the instructor with some of the students. I was a dive master. Right. Kind of like, yeah, basically. And I would do that. So I got a lot of timing in the lake, and I loved it. I loved it. And I was good. And I'd get in the lake and it's like a dolphin. I was just proficient. I could do whatever. Yep. And now, I'm still good, but you get out of practice, but you go to the ocean or you just like, "Wait, where'd that go? Where'd this go?" And so I'm still comfortable. I'm very comfortable in it, but it's not as comfortable as it was. It's just not as instinctual when you're not doing it all the time. Exactly. You know what? Maybe I need to get back in this, even though it's the lake, get back in it for a while and just swim around and just get used to it. Yeah, definitely. Everybody needs that. Everybody needs that. Sure. Here's what let's do. Okay. All right. I got a proposition for you. Let's make a play date. I'm going to do the same thing. Hey, man, let's go to the lake and do some scuba diving. Now, you do your part. Oh, man. No, no, no. Say, okay, what are we going to do? Oh, okay. Okay. Well, I thought we were going to do the disgusting one. No. All right. What are we going to do? Where we're going to go? I mean, we're going to do some treasure hunting. I am in for that. Now, what that does is takes your mind completely off of being uncomfortable in black water. Yeah. Gives you something to concentrate on. And at the same time, you get to know your gear all over a percent sense because that would be fun. I mean, just get in the water with your gear and just doing stuff. Yeah. I mean, just puttering around. I know. Because I went with some guys like, hey, there's a bus underwater in my car. Oh. Oh, Wheeler Branch. Okay. Yeah. And I'm like, it's like, but it's not as black water. But the bad thing. I mean, the funny thing was, yeah, the funny thing was it was, he was, he's new to diving. He was just getting his surgery. That's exciting. And it was new to him. And I was just like, all right, let's get. So we found it's like, here it is. Like it was a treasure to him. And I just like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's about 1950s. And not to sound snobby. But it was just like, yeah, it's a bus. The funny thing is that most of the time the thermo climb hangs out right around the top of that. Yes, it does. And that is a cold thermocline. Yeah. And I looked at him, I'm like, I'm out, I'm cold. I'm out. This old man gets colder quicker, you know, but I would definitely do the, the metal detector thing. I've actually thought about looking at a bind one. Okay. What you want is a Garrett carrot. Yeah. It's a Garrett. AP Pro. Is that the little? Yeah. It looks like a carrot. A little orange. It looks like a taperd. Yeah. I have both the Garrett and a cheap knockoff of the Garrett carrots. It still works. Can we do that and go down the como? Absolutely. Well, I've got to go. Pro and a diamond wrist, a diamond bracelet for my wife that I ripped off her wrist when we're going. I can almost promise you it's already been found. That area is complete. It's before the shoot. It's before the shoots. Okay. So we were getting ready to go in the shoot and I was getting my GoPro out and I had it across my lap. Yeah. And I was the only one in the group that asked for a tube that didn't have a bottom. And I'm like, we're in the river. I don't need my, my floatable, what do you call it, floatable handle, you know, I don't need that buoyant handle. I'm just going to take my regular handle that you can extend as a self because there was a group of us. Yeah. I had to land across my lap all nice and fine. I'm trying to tie things up. Like, hey, we're fixing to go to the shoot. And I'm like, cool. So I start hurrying up and getting things tied to the rafts and everything getting ready. Knocked my GoPro off my lap. I reached for it and it went down quick. It probably like felt it with your fingers. It went down quick. And they go found some of my waffles right next to me. So she was sitting there talking and just enjoying the friendship. She didn't know what's going on. I reached over grabbed her wrist real quick, said, grab my tube. I got to get my GoPro. And as I grabbed her wrist, she didn't tell me till after that I grabbed her bracelet broken diamond bracelet off. So when I jumped in to get my GoPro, it's right at the beginning of when you get in where how long ago was it about a year and a half, two years ago, I can almost promise you it's already been found. The suit went up to my thigh like when I didn't hit bottom right away. I went down to mud up to my thigh. So it's pretty deep there with grass. So I'm like, the only way to find that will be with a metal detector, right? If you can even get down that far. That entire area is saturated with treasure divers. Yeah. So you're a friend that does it in that area. We have several. Yeah. I guess I have one. There's so much to tell. We know more people. Yes. Dory. Dory Coolidge. Yeah, she's great. I found a bottle of Ghost Lager back in the day on the river. I found a bottle of Fireball last summer. And I know who lost Ricky Wilson. Oh, yeah. Yeah. At the time of my wife goes, she goes, she goes, you're not going to drink it. That's a joke. I said, nobody jokes about Ghost Lager. They're not going to throw it in a river. Just see if somebody gets it. Right. Absolutely. I'm going to drink it. I'm drinking it. It's alcohol. And it's dead. So they have divers down in the Kamal, San Marcos, Guadalupe, Canyon Lake. And that's all they do all weekend long is they go looking for stuff that people drop. Go on Mondays and Tuesdays after everybody leaves for the week. No, man. They hang out with the tubers. No. And I've seen that. They get it as it goes down. Yeah. They sit down there at the end of the shoot and they just, they got their gear there and they're just going to start getting stuff. Right. And what they do is they wait for you to drop your stuff. And then when you ask them to recover it, they say, how much you paying me? Yeah. That's wrong. Exactly. Yeah. So we finished, so when we went through the shoot, some of the people didn't realize what was coming. They didn't expect the shoot to be like it was. So we, the group lost three iPhones, a portable speaker, I'm an overachiever. I'm an overachiever. I lost my GoPro and my bracelet before the shoot. But we ended up doing the whole thing, we ended up doing the whole thing. We went back and I grabbed my mask out of my car and we went back to the shoot. And I went digging around looking for it, but of course by then it was already gone. But the lady was, she delays with this was adamant, she was, my phone is still here because on iPhones, she'd track a phone and she would not want to go underwater. And she's like, it's still pinging right here. And I'm like, well, that's just last known locations, all that is. Well, and she had it in a, she had it in a waterproof speaker box, like a Pelican case. Oh, it didn't sink. And it didn't sink when she dumped, when she dumped her tube. We don't know where it went. But at that point, everyone's grabbing tubes and grabbing. We think somebody probably grabbed her tube and said, Oh, look, I won. Yeah, lottery. That happened a lot. There's a lot of dishonest people down there. I would definitely go with you on a metal checker dive. I would like that. Man, you wouldn't believe some of the stuff that you'll find in different party coves. Yeah. Um, there's actually, I would say don't tell anybody I told you this, but we're on a freaking radio. Right. So, um, there's a cable that runs across the bottom of party cove at possum kingdom and it was put there on purpose to snag anchors. And there's a guy who goes down after all the day weekends, and he just gathers them up, sells them all the anchors. Yeah. Box anchors and Dan for things. Is that legal? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if there's a law to cover that thing specifically. Well, I mean, it's not a good thing, but it's very specific. It's technically they're stolen because he put that cable down there to catch anchors and anybody and everybody when they go to pull it in their anchor, you know this and get all the way up to where it's going straight down and you can't break it loose. What are you going to do? Cut the line. Yeah. And he just goes down there and scoops them up, runs, runs a cable through them and then, you know, sets them off to the side from the cable, runs a rope through all the different anchors and then goes back up to his boat, pulls them all up, takes us all home. And there's you'll find watches, you'll find jewelry, all manner jewelry. We found I found a 18 karat gold Kruger and coin ring at Augie's. You know what Augie. Yeah. Yeah. Four feet of water. He lost it during the pandemic. His wife made him put on hand sanitizer it slipped right off four feet of water. Diamond rings, you'll find diamond tennis bracelets, you'll find, I mean, sex toys, but that's neither here nor there. I'm not trying to keep those. Nice sunglasses. Yeah. They are there. These sunglasses for example, or a pair that I found in Partico. These are Gator Magnum. Those are military ballistics sunglasses. Those are new ones. Yeah. Those are really nice. They're aluminum frames so they, you know, the minute they came off their head, they went straight down. Yeah. I like those. Those are nice. That's why I like them because I know if I lose them, they're going to be straight down. Same reason I have this heavy-duty aluminum case on my phone if I drop my phone in the lake. It's not going to do this like every other product. Mine's going to sink straight down and I can go down and get it. There you go. I hire somebody to go get it. I know a chick that'll do it. I know a chick that'll do it. Have a price. Diane is not really big on searching her recovery yet. She doesn't. I'm getting there. Yeah. She doesn't like it. What is she doing now? Just exploring. Well, no. Well, she's been doing a lot of salvage with me. Okay. I really enjoy salvage actually. Do you want to try some penetration diving? Yes. You want to swim into that nest? Yeah. I did it today on a pontoon boat. How was it? I was telling you earlier that I don't have a whole lot of thrills in diving anymore because I've been there and I've done that. Everything in black water. Kind of where I'm at. Yeah. Today changed that. Today I had an experience and it was one. When stuff like this happens, I'm just thankful to be able to feel something, right? Same reason I've come to enjoy cold water diving. I'm just thankful to be able to feel something. No. I'm good. Well, I mean, a dry suit changes things too, but you're dry. You're not warm. You're just dry. You're just dry. Yeah. Today I went underneath a pontoon boat in a big nest of misery and muck because we tried to haul this thing out with a tow boat. We yanked on it probably a half a dozen times and it just wasn't coming loose. We got it maybe 15 feet further than where it was when we got there, but we still couldn't get it out. Well, okay. We got to go get dive gear and come back and dive it because there's probably a line tied on it somewhere. Man, was there ever a line tied on it? I got underneath that boat and I managed to wrestle some of the wreckage out of the way that was like up in the cabin of the boat, so it was holding it in. Then I got around to the back and I found the one dock line that it was tied to pull out my knife and I cut it. When I cut it, it was under a lot of tension with the pontoon. When that thing popped, it almost took my mask off. That wasn't the experience. Okay. The experience was my gear got hung up on structure. Oh, that's always scary. It's not though because it just immediately it came. My brief moment of anxiety. There you go. That's the one before anxiety. It's more anxiety, yeah. As long as you, number one, you have, you know, your air pressure and you know you've got significant air and you don't panic. 24-25. Yeah, you don't panic. You keep your regulator in your mouth, you take, you inflate so your gear stays floating. You take your gear off and you deal with it. Exactly. And then you swim out. You swim down to get out of the structure and you swim out because you have a compensating. Man, I came up with my gear in front of me hanging on to it, just kind of smiling like an idiot from here to here and Dan goes, "Is everything okay?" I said, "Well, it is now on the surface." He said, "What happened?" I told him what happened. He goes, "Well, yeah, that's," he said, "I was walking over to my case to put my gear together because you've been down there too long." I said, "Oh, you know, no thing." You're right. You can't often deal with it, it's not a big deal, but if you've never had to deal with that before, I can understand how that might be a panic-inducing sort of thing. But if you've ever had to deal, I dealt with it 30 feet deep at Eagle Mountain Lake two summers ago looking for a pair of Oakleys. My gear got hung up on a car frame under water and it was the same situation. You got air? Okay, leave your regulator in, take your gear off, take it off and deal with it, and then, you know, head up like everything's cool. I got a story for that too, but I'll have to say that for another time. Next time. This is a longer story, but it's definitely- Touch on it briefly. It's on the big part, the main part. So a filler diver. Oh, that's enough time. He got new equipment, went to check it out, and he was by himself. Brand new equipment, never tried anything. The tank got loose from the straps, and it started sipping out of the DC, and it was winning. Can't have that. Pulling everything out, so it didn't wrap around his leg, so. Oh, thank you. Everything was wrapped around the neck. Let's talk about it next week. Let's do it. Let's do it. We'll see you next week.
