Yeah. Check this out, man. What? Yeah, buddy. Actually, from a guy's wife that I don't talk to anymore, but. You don't talk to the guy. You don't talk to his wife. My question is, it's Bubba's all lady. Oh, that was pretty. It's kind of like revved it for your pleasure inside. Oh, sure is. She likes that ribs. And it's a fucking magnet. Yeah, that's a cool ass little sleeve, huh? Yeah. That's exactly what this is for. It's a so you buy a cigar and you get a cock ring with it. Yeah. It's a little big. I feel like you get stretched to fit, right? Like it'll stay stretched, I hope. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Mine's not big enough. Too shaky. All right. All right. Well, let's see. That's our here. That's our there. I'm good right now. I'm cutting my own little special. I mean, you want to put it in a cigar? You get in the left-handed tobacco. Yeah. I used to do that, but it turns out those cigars, the turn has to be very expensive and I don't get more stoned. I just burned through a whole bunch of weeds. See that talk to me. Oh, my bad. The devil's lettuce. I miss smoking. I did for a little bit. When the warden first had me to the ring, I couldn't smoke. I could only drink and then I became an alcoholic. So then I had to fight that one. And so I went back to smoking pot. That's which years. And I'm back. Oh, Mary Jane, welcome me back. I'm fine if I eat it. Hey, you didn't have a you hadn't added a we haven't cut a track for the warden. Oh, no, we haven't. I started looking one day and I never did do it. Yeah, you're going to cut a track. I put one on there. I did put zachies on there, though. I've seen that. I see it right here. I've got a third chance. There it is. Let's get this but started. Let's do it. Maybe I'm very good. Sorry. What's up? What's up? Yeah. So, uh, we're back with another episode. Back with some more shit show shenanigans. That's right. This week, we got another brother and a buddy. This is what we call them, buddy, huh? We go with buddy. Go with buddy. Yeah, go with buddy. Okay. Right. Potential future possibility working through the rankings, which is what we talk about a lot. Yeah. Right. The motorcyclism and the chapters and the journey associated with it. Up and coming. That's right. There you go. Up and comes. A good way to put that. So, Gar, he's our brother here. There you go. Sorry, I was trying to get this to Gar. No, you match. So, we got our brother, Gar, in the house. And Woody. Woody. Woody. How's everybody been? What y'all been up to? Motorcyclism. Motorcyclism and a moonshine. So, international motorcyclism. International motorcyclism. There we go. That's one of the topics I want to get into. It's your, yeah, you're. So, let me, let's hear about this moonshine. What moonshine, where'd you get to use the moonshine? I heard you drink a shit ton of moonshine. Yeah, I think we drank four jars. I don't know how they're not dead. I tasted from all four jars, but I did not consume near the amounts. So, I second that. I did not. Yeah. So, you tasted, you just didn't consume it. No, I guess I'm getting blamed for most of that, myself and another brother will be made nameless. I've never been a big shine drinker. I've had it. I probably have a small jar at the Casa. I would imagine just sitting around sipping it. I know that's what you see portrayed in movies, right? Yes, it just sits around and just everyone sipping on. I mean, shine. Is that what you did last night? For the most part, yeah. Hot ass, hot ass moonshine. Yeah, yeah. Room temperature, so it was pretty darn good. I don't have one that was hot, but yeah, we would just be bullshitting and I had a beer and then somebody would go inside or go somewhere and they would reappear with a jar. And it was a jar of a different flavor every time and it passed it around and I, you know, I always wanted to taste the sun, so I always took a little nip. Just, yeah, just tiny boy to get the flavor in there. And they were good. Like the flavors were delicious. The banana muffin was off. Was that the one that looked like mud water? Yes. Like murky mud water. Perky mud water. I questioned that one, but it was freaking delicious. It actually tasted like banana. Yeah. That dude's flavor was on point. It was good. So I got apple pie and something else. I remember what it was. Peaches and cream or something like that. Oh, the peaches on point two. Is it? Well, it wasn't the actual just peach. It was peach A. It's what it was abbreviated as. I got a theme song for you when you do start drinking too much that peach is in cream. Yeah. I tasted the apple, the apple pie. This is fucking delicious. I ain't even gotten to try that one yet. Well, you should have said some of them how to let you taste it. But now I want to try that banana. It was good. There was one I had that was definitely stronger on the alcohol content I felt like. I don't remember which one it was, but it was still delicious. You didn't get any of the clear, did you? No, there was a couple clear. There was two clear ones that that Corey had in me. Yeah, he didn't take any drink of it. Is this non flavor? No, everything I had was flavors. Yeah, the clear ish was that peach. Yeah, that was the peach. Oh, okay. Straight up peach. It was pretty stout. Yeah. I was like, whoa, okay. This is not saying a 120 proof here. That plane will bite you. No, thank you. They didn't touch that one. I've been getting before it. So, well, I think I asked you about like, how the fuck would anyone want to buy just the plane one if you have these options? But I guess you can mix it. They like touching. Well, you can make it to mixture. You can make it a little bit stronger as you drink it down to the horns. That also sounds like a bad idea. Why would anybody want to clear moonshine? Why would anybody want ever clear? Yeah, shit. I don't understand that. This shit is bad. So, well, I supported my orange juice and take it to basketball games in high school. Well, there's your answer. Why? Because it was stronger than vodka. It was why. Oh, my God. So, we didn't have to have as much. Is it not as strong? It's not because it was like 200 proof, right? It's like 180. Yeah, 180. No, it's not. 90% alcohol. It's not anymore. That's crazy. Well, so, I had a classmate. We had to take him down to a little fifth or whatever the little bums are. And was trying to tackle trees in some of these yards. We had to take him to the ER and have a pumpkin and stomach all night from the Everclear. The Everclear. Which is pretty good at O.J. watching basketball. Yeah, Roger Krieger wrote a song about Everclear. Oh, yeah, yeah. Putting it in the watermelon. Put it in the watermelon. Grandma's doing backflips. Grandpa's looking up their skirts with a cherry fig. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, yeah. Maybe they do so. I have it. It says 190 proof. 90, 95, ABV. Ooh, got to have a license to buy it. Hazmat. Yeah, no shit. Gasoline in a jug. Got to get that ass shot over my phone. You want to hit the bomb? Yeah, I'm good. I would probably show up to work tomorrow and be like, uh, we're good to see you. Yeah, man. Keep that synthetic with you. As long as you study for your test, you have to be fine. Now, not what I work. They will walk your ass right out real quick. So, uh, anyways, I guess that's enough with the moonshine. I can't wait to, uh, I mean, so the holidays are coming up. We've got Thanksgiving in a few days. Yeah, it's incredible. I'll probably take that to like my grandma's house and have everyone drinking on it. Grandma's looking at grandma's doing backflips all over me. You're going to get grandma a trash. So I don't remember if I've told this story. So I haven't asked. She doesn't drink. She doesn't do anything. And one year for, uh, I think it was my death Cindy's birthday. She asked me to make some, some trash punch. Okay. Right. Well, that could make it pretty well. And you never, you wouldn't taste the vodka in it. So it was, it was nice. It was diluted enough where it didn't smell. So it made a big old batch of it. And I told my aunt, she's my great aunt. She's my grandpa's sister. Okay. Nice. Her baby sister, right? I told her. I was like, did you like some punch? She's like, let me go out and love some punch. Okay. So I make a cup. She starts sipping on it, right? And she drinks it. She's so good. And I figured she would have, like, you could taste the alcohol, but you couldn't. Right. It wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't strong, but you'd like, no, if there's alcohol in it. You know, 30 minutes or so passing. Gee, can we bring you some more? Sure. I mean, you could have another cup. Maybe that. Sipping on it and dirt cup. Here it is. She's sipping on it and she's like, oh man. It was cool. It's hot in here. Like, why is it so hot in here? And she wouldn't have stand up. She's like, oh my gosh. And I was like, you realize that there was alcohol in that punch, right? And you've been slamming that shit down. Yeah, yeah. You're hydrating. She was like, no, I didn't know there was alcohol in there. Why did you tell me? He was like, I mean, I figured you could taste it. Why did you ask? It was a good shit. That means you made it right. It's almost like one of the bets on the policy. You know, you don't ask, we don't tell. Right. That old school military policy. It's old school, they changed it. Oh, yeah. You can't ask at all now, huh? No, it's, I walked, I walked in the VA and saw a poster and it said, do ask detail. That's crazy. It blew my mind. You know, well, back in my day, it was absolutely not. Yeah, you know it. Yeah, then it went, don't ask, don't tell. And now it's went to, hey, do you got a boyfriend you can bring with you? That's a recruiting tool. Don't leave your spouse at home. Here we go. You're going to work with your husband. Even if you're married, you could still bring him. Yeah. Oh, man. I forgot the guard that you are a veteran, huh? What, what branch were you in? Army. You're an army? That's why I talked so much shit. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. When did you serve? I served between '87 and '93. Jesus. I just want to make a statement real quick. Go ahead. I was born in the year in 1986. Good lord. Did you give our lord 1986? That's the dick move. Just, just so we heard the date spirit. Here comes the, here comes the guard's old. Yeah. You got that much old? Well, here you are. Yeah. That's about, that's about 18 years old. At about. You went in at 17, right? I did. Had to have him sign in all that stuff. Yeah. That's right. I remember that. So he was on the younger side of it. And you, you left from Alaska? Left from Alaska. Damn. Where was your first? Where'd you go? Where'd you end up? Tell me your story. Oh shit. Ended up, uh. They sent you to boot camp. Before binning. So you're from Alaska? Yeah. And you're meant to before binning Georgia. That's a fucking. That's a climate change. It's a big climate change. Holy shit. Humidity. Yeah. You were dying weren't you? Yeah. The fuck did I do to myself? Yeah. Then it upstated up before driving New York. And I did that. I was hoping to get out of the cold. And then they sent me one of the most freezing shitholes in the dams in the United States. New York. Now I never could figure out why they call it 10th Mountain Division. There's no fucking mountains around there. Isn't there some small mountains around there somewhere? Well maybe like bumps in the ground. You know what? Some hills. Yeah. Some hills. It's like a fucking chick with double A titties. You know what I mean? [laughter] Touche. It's okay. How long were you in New York? I spent my entire posting there set for a couple of different deployments. No shit. That sucks. I've always heard the stories with the military. Like they asked like where you want to go. And they give you the three options. Right. It was just something that they always give you. Your wish list? Yeah, yeah. I would give you like the third or fourth one that you, or your third one. Which is the shift one. Yeah, usually that's a lie. That's a recruiting tool. Oh is it? Oh yeah. Yeah. We were always sort of the needs of the Marine Corps. So you go where they need you. Yeah. Like mine lined up. Like I didn't want to go. Japan was my second choice. I didn't want to go East Coast. And so I was West Coast somewhere. So I left out and got Pendleton. Oh nice. But there's going to be Japan. Hop on. Hop on. I think that's China. Oh my bad. It's my bad. I'm not trying to cause any internal rift. Yeah, I hope between the Asian nation. The Asian community. What does that mean? They saw your station on Iwakuni and Okinawa. And that's Okinawa is the island. But a lot of field training was done in the Philippines. I mean, that's a whole other people. Right. Right. You're all over the place. Man, this is crazy. I love an experience though. Oh yeah. Oh, it has to be. So you got out after you did your four years. Not in six and a half. Did six and a half and you fucking said I'm done. Well, a little bit more than that. I just got tired of turning into a shit bag. Because I want it out. They didn't want to let me out. So I just turned myself into a shit bag. So the thing would let you out. Yeah, so they would let me out. I was trying to achieve before. No, I was trying to achieve before. That's what we did. Yeah. Article 15 didn't work. You know, two of them didn't work. You know, so it was finally pretty much agreed upon. We're going to bust you all the way back down to YouTube. Give you a gentle discharge. Holy shit. That's what they did. And under reasoning, it was a pattern of misconduct. A pattern of misconduct. Yeah. Yeah. I'd help it to a hooligan. I'd help it to a hooligan. I'd help it to a hooligan. I'd help it to a hooligan. I'd help it to a hooligan. I'd help it to a hooligan. I'd help it to a hooligan. I'd help it to a hooligan. I'd help it to a hooligan. I'd help it to a hooligan. I'd help it to a hooligan. I'd help it to a hooligan. I'd help it to a hooligan. I'd help it to a hooligan. It has to be a shit. So you get out after six and a half years. You fucking kick your rocks. That pretty much it did after that. Got back down, came back to Texas. Came back to Texas. So you left Alaska, went to Georgia, went to New York. Where does Texas fall into the coming back? I'd been back and forth between you as a kid. He'll bounce it back and forth. Oh, okay. Okay. And so Alaska was home, Texas was the second home. And ended up back down there. Had a step sister and ended up living outside the Dallas area. So it ended up down there and went to work and stuck around there until 2003. Went back to Alaska. I was still in high school at this point. Yeah. And after 2003, 2008, I came back down. I came back down to Texas and I've been here so. Okay. 24 years. That's wrong. Then you just got to move around. Okay. Probably about the longest I've set in one place is Big Spring. Unfortunately. I like Big Springs. Big Spring has so much potential. It's just trashed out. The mountain in Big Spring, that big old mountain that they got there. The scenic mountain? It's just a scenic mountain. It makes Big Spring almost nice. I go up there a lot. It's my favorite spot. I think you figure out how to clean up the rest of Big Spring. So when you went up there, it was nice to look at. Right. There's the landscape below. Yeah. Well, if you orient the right direction, it's like a. They got the war memorial down on one side. You have to go to a certain spot. Yeah, to get the backs, the backdrop you need. So if you go up there and you look like Southeast, that's nice because you just get more of the mountains. More of that. It's not too bad. But if you go and you look Northeast, it's just shit city. Yeah, I'm not a fan. I'm not. But that's where the money is at. You know, I did. I did escape for a year. I went up to Washington State, transferred up there at the outset. I was working for it at the time. It was a crude old business. It kind of fell out. And I went to work for the dry ice division and. Working out of Lakewood, Washington. Then COVID hit the biggest customer we had for the dry ice was the airlines. And nobody was flying anymore. Oh, yeah, it's COVID. Yeah. And I'm on salary, right? You know, and they couldn't justify me working for two days a week. And paying me $7,000 a year to work two days a week. I thought it was great, man, because it really wasn't no snow. I go chill on the boat. Yeah, I mean. Or you might be able to make sense. For you, that was a good deal. Oh, it was a great deal. Fucking asshole. It's like, God damn, you know, don't fire me because there ain't no business. I mean, shit, it'll give me a raise. I'll take 80,000 a year to go sit on the boat for five days a week. Yeah, I would too. And so after that, like shortly after that, we met you. We met you in, what, 2001-ish? 21-ish? Yeah. Yeah, 21-ish, 21-ish, somewhere around there. Yeah. We've been bothered ever since. Ever since? Mm-hmm. God damn. That's crazy. It's crazy to think how long we've been doing this shit. It's not even that long. Compared to the guys that she used for like 20, 25-year anniversary. Yeah, they're hitting some long-term- Yeah, 20, 25, 35 years. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, I'm all proud about my little like three and a half. Hey, I'll take you. Yeah. 'Cause I mean, I think about living another like 30 years, like, oof. Yeah, that's gonna be hard. That's what I'm getting my shit. If I get my shit straight, it might be all right. You see, I'm 40. Honestly, I think like 15 is probably going to be more max. I'll guess. 55? Yeah. You're tapping it out. You're taking the fuck out of here. Ooh. Hey, fuck. I'm feeling this guy. He's got a stupid fuck. He's tapping out of time soon. Not at all. That's what he did with the dude. The hardest fuck last night. Oh, man. I can't even keep up with this guy. I can't keep up. That's fucking amazing. And what he has to do more often, too. Put up with this guy. Mortal men cannot drink with me. Nope. Gotcha. Yeah. And then on top of it, he's just getting back to Mexico. He can do a pretty good job. That is, that's fucking like Mortal men cannot drink with me. And I know I can't. Jesus. I asked him last night. I don't know how he does it. I don't know. So the part that kills me is I don't know. I feel like me and him can go fucking like beer to beer. We can smash him out together. I don't know how he gets up in the morning. That's the part that gets me. That's part two. And that's okay. He was up it. I think I came out of the room at seven. He was up. What time do you time do I go to bed? Almost two. See I think it was later. Yeah. Well, I mean, I just know it was one thing. About like, so I think it was about like three, three, three, three. So I laid down like at two forty five. Got it. I didn't, I didn't. I woke up at 10 like like struggling. I was like, God. How did he ask? I thought I was staying up late. And it was one o'clock when I called him and I was going to bed. Yet we still had another half a journey trying to get through. Yeah, no way. It was a nice ride home though. It wasn't like we were as cold as I thought it was going to be or nothing. Yeah. I'm feeling it a little bit on those sort of day, but that's my fault. Yeah, that's fucking wild. That that's the part that kills me. I don't understand how he could just fucking get right up in the morning. I think he's right. You got to do it. No, I don't want to. Thank you, baby. Sometimes you got to do it. Yes, you are right. I cannot. I don't want to just hear. Well, you know, I don't have as many days left to live as you do, so I don't want to miss any of them. You know, you're right. You're right. I get that. Yeah, but even on the days that he could have rested, he could have slept in. In Mexico. He slept in in Mexico. Yeah, he didn't. Still, he's up. Still, he's up. Yeah. Well, yeah, there's beer. Kila and shit. I'm back there at the house in Mexico. He'd already eaten by the time I got into his house. Really? Yeah. They had already eaten breakfast. That was the last one coming in and getting breakfast. Yeah. Well, you got to have second breakfast. Yeah. There was a first breakfast, a second breakfast. Pre-lunch. A pre-lunch, a lunch, a snack, and then a dinner. It cooks like five or six times that day. On Sunday. Now you see why fucking Mexicans are always just fucking overweight. We eat a lot. And there's the desserts in between. The cookies and the ponds and the lots of carbs. Lots of carbs. Yeah. There's was a lot of meat. But. Yeah. Yeah, you got to try a real barber cola for the first time. Did you really? Yeah. It's fucking yummy, huh? And then what's that dish in the breakfast? Chillikili? Chillikili's fucking low. Chillikili's red. I've never had that. With the red sauce. Oh my god. And you can fucking top it with some onions. Oh yeah. Put some chilli on there. Fuck. Look, we didn't go that far, but. See, now you're making me hungry. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We need to stop that. So y'all, y'all just got to get back. Y'all just got back from Mexico a few days ago. Monday or yeah, Monday. Monday. I was watching the Texas coming through, right? Like where y'all were at and chillik. Yeah, we were talking all day and bullshitting. I was like, fuck now. It's gonna be so goddamn cold for these guys at night time. It was a little chilly. Little chilly. So it's too bad. Windy. Right. We ran right into the wind. So it's the worst, right? Yeah. So would y'all go do it in El Mexico? Mexico. Motorcycle rally. Fuckin' A, that's what's up. Motorcycleism. I love motorcycleism. Motorcycleism. Yeah, motorcycleism. Across the border too. That's the cool part about it. Two nights of it. So that's your second international rally that you've done this year. In a matter of weeks. That's the third. The third one. In a matter of weeks. It's the second one in a matter of weeks. I went down to that national run down there in Wannawato. Right, that was wind. That was October. Yeah, that was October. Yeah, his wife lives there. Right. And then you went to this one. Yeah. Right. When was the other one? Oh, the other one was in Pia. He'll Piazza's negative. That's just right across the river. That really don't count, you know? But I mean, it doesn't count. That doesn't count. Hey, you're not gonna have to get a cat. It counts. Yeah, it's got like when you wait for him to get back actually in office again. You know, so every Mexican kid playing ball. What not? He's like, senior thrompe. Can I have my ball back? It went over the wall. So that was three rallies in essentially two months. Yeah. So I do want to get into the national rally that you went to. Where was that one at? That was in Guanajuato. Guanajuato is roughly. Where we look at 20 hours from here? Uh, so if you didn't have to stop for fuel whatnot, you're looking at about 17 hours. 17 hours, man. That would have been a fucking crazy ride, which is explains why you did not write it. You flew in. Get more time for your. Well, that had a little bit more time at the wife. Don't get a whole lot of that. Yeah. His guard's wife, his actual Mexican, lives in Mexico, which is fucking crazy to me all the time. Why? Is it? Is it? What are you about to do the same thing? What do you guys do the same thing? Yeah. It's on the track. Hey, so I'll tell you the honest truth. That was always my game plan, right? It was like, if I can never find an American woman here, I was just going to fucking go to Mexico. Find me a bum and then just bring her back and be like, look, I just need you cooking clean. We'll be fucking square now. So I've had to do contract marriages like that. Guarding. That's cool. But we so what kind of woman did they get from where? They ordered a Lebanese woman, the fucking Chinese woman. I know they were Mexican as far as I mean. Oh, they also went to somewhere. The penal girls that they were bringing back, but those were usually Stefan Seos. Yeah. What'd she say? She got proposed to him by, uh, he's an army, right? Yeah, army infantry for contract marriage. No shit. Yeah, yeah. Looking for that track here. That's right. That's right. Get all of him. Get all of him. You get housing. You don't have to stay in a fucking marriage. P-A-H, no more barracks. You know, that's why the, that's why the running joke is, you know, he'll two weeks after you get in. He was like, "Hey, it's hard. Check this, you got my new wife." Yeah, that's the stripper you met yesterday. So, so my buddy did that. His wife was fucking hot. I was like, "Are you serious? You're major?" And he was like, "Yeah." He was like, "Just for a little bit though, once we get done with Idaho, I like, we'll get divorced and I'll move along." And yeah, and she'll go, she'll be a citizen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy. You are crazy. Well, no, I'm taking my wife in the room. I'm not bringing my wife back. We're going to Mexico. No, why would you want to bring him back? I'm not bringing him back. I'm going over there. Didn't you hear me? I'm saying, I'm going to Mexico. I'll retire in Costa Rica or Columbia or? I mean, there you go. Oh, you want to go further south? Oh, no, I'm ready. I've got a plan. Yeah. No, I'm out. I'm, that's my retirement is going to, I'm fixing to buy a house there. I'm going to buy a house there and pay it for it there. Get it paid for Airbnb it. I'm out. I like your Costa Rica. Either coast. I'm going to try to do Costa Rica, Columbia, Mexico. I will do Columbia. Yeah, you seem to be life's not going to allow you, not going to allow you to take her that far away from her family. No, no, we ain't got to, I ain't got to take her nowhere. It's just exactly where she's at. I'll travel. Yeah. I'll come back around every once in a while. Just do what I'm doing now. All right, it's not a bad strategy. Columbia is awesome. I don't know if I want to go to Columbia. Columbia is off the hook. I had, you should work with his guy that was Colombian. And he got forced to come to America by his parents. Because he had been kidnapped twice by the cartel and they had to pay him out. His parents had to pay out the cartel so they could. What was he doing? His dad had like five or six stores in the city that they were in. So there was a reason why. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So after the second time that he was kidnapped and they had to pay his ransom to get him back. His parents sent him and his sister to the states to live here. I ain't. So that right there is just telling me, no, I'm not going to Columbia. I'm not, they had a purpose for what they were done. They don't mess with tourism. You're not, you're not trying to be a tourist. You're talking about making permanent residents out there. Well, business, I'm not going to live there. I don't know. So he ran a business. So what happens if you buy four or five houses? You show up to check on your shit. And they're like, oh buddy, oh pal. I guess you're out. We're going to have a, we're going to have a conversation. Yeah, just remember, you know, you're going to have to pay the rent. You got to pay the rent. Don't leave you alone. Yeah, it's crazy. Go down there with me. You'll want to do it. That's fair. Now I would, I would maybe go for a fucking vacation. Vacation. It's worth trying. Outside of that. So my next one is Medi-In. Medi-In? Medi-In? Yeah. Medi-In? I went, I went to, where Pablo Escobar's from? Yeah. You want to go, you want to go gangster like that? I went to Carta Haney. What's that? Carta Haney, Columbia. Yeah. Does that, where, where's, what is that, what's significant there? Carta Haney? Yeah. I mean, that's the same one as like Medi-In. Oh. It's another, I don't know. Hard core. The cartel group that runs that one, it's a different loop. But that place is beautiful. Yeah. I mean, very beautiful. They got lots of like statues and castles up on the hill. Oh, ours got ripped down. It's nice up there. Human. Very, very humid. It's sticky. It's a jungle, right? Oh, yeah. That's worse than anything I've ever been around. I don't see that. That's so fun. Got some skaters that are like tared echoes? I don't know. Luckily, I didn't get bit. Of course, I was in the pool most of the time. Ooh. Okay. So we had a five bedroom, five bath house with a pool in the middle of it. So every time I'd walk back into the house, I'd strip down the oven pool. Nice. That's pretty cool. Yeah, it is. I want to do that. I'll show you the pictures, but not what your wife's here. Mom, do you want to be in that room? That's funny. You're in trouble. Right. You're not going to be invited back. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Oh, what were we talking about? I think we're talking about Mexico. Oh, the fucking run. Yeah. So tell us about how that run goes. Extremely well. Yeah. Extremely well. Held that thing at the Castillo de Santo Cecilia, which is a literal castle. Right. Were you able to get a room? Oh, yeah. So you stayed in a room in a castle. In a castle. In a castle. And my. Pull the mic to you. And my room was literally facing into the courtyard. So I could wake up in the morning. Could you just kind of open the curtains and yeah. All right. Let's see who's out there engaged in whatever. And man, that's awesome. That's ideal location. Yeah. They had food and everything. They're ready for you. Yeah. You think they'll do it again there next year? I don't know. Man, we're going to Mexico. But I will find, but I will find out. Yeah. Man, we should all go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was talking to Rooster. We were talking about trying to go to Sturgis next year. Um, that would be. That's always fun. It's been five years since I've been to Sturgis. I can't believe it's been that long that quick. But so we should look at going to Sturgis doing that. Fucking enjoy that shit. I'd love to go. I've never been through it. Been through it going to work during the aftermath. But never went during the background. Never went during Sturgis week. It is. It's fun. I did stop in and buy me a hoodie. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that makes sense, right? Why are you there, right? Yeah, I might as well take care of it. So that you've been there. I mean, it was definitely during the aftermath. There was still stuff everywhere. A hoodie on a hoodie on woodie. That's kind of like you down here in Monclot. Well, you're eating chips at chips. That's the doctor's soup spooker. That's awesome. A biker kid's book. Yeah. Jocko writes kid books. We can write biker kid's books. That might not be a bad idea. I was just thinking like, yeah, really we could write biker's kid's books. I'm not smart enough to write shit, but this is a good idea. You should work on that. Oh, Lord. Maybe so. Main character. It's just it's going to be Ezekiel. He's got to be like a little redheaded kid. Right? Are you is this picking on me? They are worth it. And then like they're they're motorcycle club. They're just riding their little bikes. It was just the adventures of Ezekiel. I mean, I can see it smaller version. The adventures of Ezekiel and Machetta. And Machetta. You got it. Okay. Well, we can come over. I like it. That's a good idea. I buy that book. Let's sleep on that name for a little bit. Or easy, easy adventures. Oh, easy, easy adventures. That was pretty good too. You can use that as long as I get my name and trade it. Yeah, I just, I just, you got it. That's the wrong thing. You got to be the illustrator. I can't draw. He's drawn sticks. He's drawn sticks by. Hey, but, but you could just do, just do AI. He'll hand you the story. And then you just use AI to draw pictures. Oh, you probably would not want me doing that. I want to see you talk to a computer. Just to see how that interaction goes. Yeah, it does not. It does not go well. You should have seen me with the damn telephone on these translating earbuds. We tried to take it down there and using it long call over that. Not even going that far. A trash can at my house. Yeah. He's got a trash can. You walk up to it. It's motion. That's it. It's motion. And you push it to the mouth. Yeah, I'm like, kids, you got it. Like, I didn't know what to do with it. I walked up. I'm just standing there. All of a sudden, he's just walking. I don't know. It's kind of like, well, no. You know what I'm looking for? I'm looking for a good coin. We're making eye contact. What's going on here? I'm burying whatever you want. This thing opens the mouth. It's so nasty. It's the thought that counts. Yeah, I guess so. That's funny. Man. What's up? We thought I had a bottle opener in here. Hold up. I got one. Hold up. Hold up. What the fuck is this? That's for knife sharpening. Oh, there you go. I think it's something about the angle and put it on there and it keeps it bladed. The right angle. Oh, dude. Your bottle opener is so cool. Is it a card? Yeah. Yeah. Seen that one. That one for you. I got one for you. Yep. I forgot to get him out of the picket and put him back in a bite before we came here. Well, you can keep it. If you got him at that. Yeah. You have more of those? Yes. Yeah. Why, why are we not making these? Well, that's his plan. This would be a cool fucking product to sell. We just need to make it. Absolutely. We need to make a red and gold and then we need to make it with the queen. No, the joker. Do it with the joker. I like the joker. Yeah, I did get one. This is cool. It is cool. It's like a credit card. Yeah, he got one of them. And all of a sudden he bought all these. I could be gambit. No, I'm gambit. Damn it. We could get a whole sheet of those things. Just letting start. Wherever they land at. Gambit's always been my favorite. Gambit's badass, dude. So I watched them. I watched the Wolverine. And he was in it. Magic Mike. I don't like the person who's playing him. Magic Mike. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He had way too many magic my vibes going with you. Gambit or he was trying to portray. Yeah. I didn't like it. And I guess he's got the corner market on it, right? That's what he worked. Yeah. That's what he was after. He was it after us. He was after them. He was going to the ladies. The true fans are all guys. You fucked up. They're a magic mic. [Laughter] Yeah, that made me sad. I didn't like it. As soon as he walked out, I was like, when he walked into the picture. I was impressed with his Cajun action. His Cajun was good. I'll give him that. But yeah, no, no. He walked out and he was stuck in his when he was French I said, right? Like, I was like, this is not going to be Gambit, is it? Yeah, sure. No, it was. Fuck, man. I didn't like it. We can go, yeah, we can go practice at Gar's house with the explosives, explosive cards. Mm-hmm. We can't do it out here. Munch, I'm in. Yeah, yeah. Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy. That ain't a joke. [Laughter] Yeah, a lot of people get fussy about that, man, trying to combine guns and alcohol. You know, out of my house, live ammunition and alcohol is just a family outing. It's just never day after. It's just a support of life. No, I'll do it, but I'm going to be on the sober side for sure. Yeah, the last time we did that, neither one of us were on a very sober side. On the scale of sober side. Oh, yes, yeah. Y'all, on the scale from sober to trash, you were still leaning a little bit to more of the sober side. Yeah, yeah. I had only had about eight beers that day. Was that before or after we were ricocheting ricocheting rocks off the catfish head? After. Yeah. Maybe. I don't feel like your nature is comfortable. No, it's not. I think it was after, but it was, but it was before the crossbow. Yeah, I remember the crossbow. Yeah, Jesus. Speaking of, I need to borrow that. [Laughter] Does he smell? Yeah, yeah. I need some deer hunting to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna just stalk him. Yeah, I'm gonna get up on and get gangster with this thing too. We're not gonna come home. We're gonna fucking jump out of the tree. [Laughter] We may not come home with a deer, but first out we better. [Laughter] It'll get better. It'll get better with time. Meet an appreciate. We'll be home later. [Laughter] [Laughter] I've already caught one deer by hand before. It was a baby. Still? He's fast as fuck. [Laughter] He still had four legs versus my two. That's right. That little fucker. He still got away. [Laughter] Yeah, he did. Oh, man. After he had a collar on him. Yeah, that poor guy. Poor guy. I hope a coyote got him. Choked. No, a coyote got him. Or maybe another deer took it off. Yeah, that's exactly what happened. It adopted it. Mm-hmm. So Caesar takes all his collars off. It could have been right. Why do you think? Yeah, it's possible. I hope so. So talk about deer, honey. I'm going on the 14th to. I don't have the right phone with me. Deerland? Goldsen. Goldsen. Goldsen. [Laughter] That would be West Texas. Yeah. I want to go deer. That was asking guard, man. If he had anything out there, but I mean that shit. Used to. Neighbor? Yeah, the neighbors, man. Anything that walks, crawls or flies. They pop it? They've killed it. That's not game management. No. Mm-hmm. Not at all. That's just being. Yeah, every now and again, you might see a deer track or two, but nothing like when I first bought that place up there. Right. Yeah, you get it. Yeah, you get it. I'm going back to that place I went two years ago with North Abilene. Okay. It's 250 a doe. Oh, it's a paid lease like a day lease? Yeah, it's a day hunt. I think it's like 250 a doe. 350 for a call buck. And then it's like 700 for bucks. Guaranteed? They're guaranteed to come out. Here's one thing. You pick what you get. Right. You got to hit it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's on the guys ranch. Can I do it with an axe? Oh, you probably could. This is. Will they bet me? It manages. And it's not really hunting in Texas, though. It's more like harvesting. Yeah. I'm okay with that. Yeah, right. At this point, like she said, meat for the freezer. That's why I want to do it with an axe. Yeah, you put a tree. You put up a blind. That's one that my buddy's dad wants us to kill. He wants it out of his. No, I'll go right if he's joking. Why? It's a call, I guess. He don't want it to be bad. It's a call. Yeah, he's got bad genetics. What does that mean when you say a call? But it's still big. He's a big. That's how he wrote this. Repad genetics. They don't want him reproducing. Oh, so they just want him to go. It's still a minute. You're so eating, right? Like he's not wrong. It has to do with his horns. Oh, it's fucking weird. Oh, okay. So he might have. That's a big. He looks pretty stocky. Yeah, he's pretty. Way outside his ears. Okay. You can hunt that one with an axe, right? Yeah, we can hunt that one with an axe. Beautiful rack. Beautiful rack on one side. And then this one just be like a spike. Oh, damn. He's a gimp so they don't want him. That's fucked up. Yeah, just batch genetics how he grows it. So they don't want him. Well, you're not going to win too many deer fights with one side. It's like going in a boxing match with one arm. Yeah, I'm not going to do it. It's not going to happen. No, I'm going to win. Good luck, buddy. I guess you could win. But all the pins. All the pins. All the pins. All those deer. Yeah. Oh, with one arm, it all depends on who it is, you know. Because boxing don't think it was turned into professional wrestling anymore. Well, until they put it on ice skates, I know. I saw that the other day. Yeah. Ice skating. There's no oxygen. It's kind of cool. You know what? It'd be a good combination. That might be my niche. Would be something like ice skating boxing or combined hockey with golf. Yeah, where you've got one ball and everybody's going to go get it. Oh, contact, contact golf. And the first one that first one that gets in that hole. Gets the point. Gets the point. Oh, I think I would. I would be pretty good at that. So you got to be able to fucking fight. Ron, you got him as quick as fuck. And still hit a golf ball. Yeah. Right. So this one's going to drive it 300 yards. You still got to be the first one to it and find the motherfucker. Yeah. While you're fighting. Oh, you're fighting the body off. You better be like being able to the fucking golf with the horses, polo. Oh, the polo. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Run with golf. Yeah. Run up to it and just. Just keep on going to someone trips you or something. The neighbors are saying me that y'all are doing some weird shit. He practiced at his golf game. Well, I was hitting golf balls and had the kid hitting golf balls back at me a couple of weeks after the whole gun incident. But we've seen squash star beef me in the 12 year old over there. We're not beefing no more. We're good. As you put on him, big giant inflatable boxing gloves and just beat the hell out of me. I should have. But you know, I had I had the boys out and we were out just walking the property. And he came out and talked to us because he saw that I had my kids. And so he wanted to talk to them and get to know them. But they already did. Truce. Well, that was a nice one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's my ally. Giving you insight into our intel, bro. Yeah. How do you got to do what you got to do? That's right. Starts having like sure going to move anytime soon. Yeah, yeah. I want first day of. Buy that piece. Yeah, that's kind of like the Texas lady only landed. I want you right next to mine. Yeah, I want to know. I'm going to control my neighbors. We could always control them by fear. I think, yeah, I would say it's entirely fear, but I've got a pretty good handle on them at this point, these ones. Little intimidation going along. Yeah. Yeah, they've done pretty good. It's the cattle, the rancher back here. Your rancher buddy is not happy. Well, we've been, it's been died down. But yeah, that whole horse incident. I think we took care of it though, right? We take care of the problem. Everything kind of goes back to. It's a baseline, which was the goal, I guess. Keep peace. That's why you want to control your neighbors, right? It's easier to keep peace if you know your neighbors a little better. Because I got bigger problems to fight than my neighbors. Yeah, we don't want to waste time. We need them to be on our side. So that way, when shit goes down, you know, you have somebody there to help you out. Yeah. Yeah. I don't disagree with that. That's why I got my big goal. Did you see my marine fry? I got put it at the top of the windmill. I did. Yeah, yeah. I didn't see that. I was like, oh my gosh. We talked about that about a month ago that you were going to want to put it. That's how long it took me to finally get my ass to get up there and climb up there and put it up there. Well, I noticed that it's gone. So it was this one right here. Yeah, it was that one. For those projects, it takes like a month and 30 minutes. There is the planning stage. Yeah, it's a month of planning. How about the projects like that? It takes a month. Take like a year and an hour. Yeah, yeah, that's the planning stage. You want to make sure you get it done right. That's true. That's true. That's fair. Like, that's a good point. And all around, like that's. You want to make sure it's going to be executed, done, and you don't have to hook it again. I will say, if you're going to extend the planning stage, it better be a sound project. That's funny. Bye, baby girl. That's funny. She will extend it, baby. I have a good damn reason. Yeah. Oh, shit. Man, we still haven't finished. You got a damn rally story. So you went to Wannawato, stayed in the castle. It's badass. We met some fucking people out there. Yeah, we met quite a few people. So I'm coming from Europe. A lot of from Central American. All over the world, huh? All over the world. That's kind of badass. Like, that's pretty, dude. That's dope as shit. So that was the first one of the fall rallies, right? And then you went to Black Rock. That was negative. Yeah, went to that one. Thank you for the translation. Went to that, went to Wannawato. And then we're going to be heading for Saltillo, Mexico, at the end of next month. The next month. Yeah. That's a lot of fucking running. Yeah, I'm going to work. I'm getting a passport. We're going to start going to Mexico, dude. I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Gar. I am three generations removed from Mexico. If I found it in, leave nothing over there. I ain't got no reason to go back. Just to see it. No, yeah, yeah. That's definitely something we need to do. I don't want to go to these fucking rallies. You might not come back. You might just stay. Yeah, I'm not going to stay. I won't. I'm not going to stay. I got to start fucking. I got to get my Spanish back up to par before I make these trips, though. Google Translate. As I said, I don't mean no, I'm low. I don't mean Google Translate. If I can just translate, if my brain can just most of us could get in. I need you to be my translator. Yeah. Dude, and there's a new iPhone 16. And you can type into it, like just regular text, and then tell it that you want to translate it right in the text, and then it'll translate it for you, and then you hit send. In text message. Oh, wow. So even in the WhatsApp. So right here. Uh, technology. I'll just put my love. Yeah, I'm on. So then you sit this one. It's translating. And then it puts it up here. Are you trying to show pictures of your new children again? Oh, I'm trying to tell you why. That's pretty cool. So I think I have some earbuds that are supposed to translate, but I haven't tried them yet. So because I've questioned listening devices. Yeah, well, I bought a set of those. Yeah, these guys have been going. They don't work very well in a normal environment. Right. They're more for like a one on one. Yeah, if you're like in a one on one and speaking real slow, like you're half retarded, it might understand what you're saying. Oh, shit. Okay. Maybe it understood. Yeah, I didn't have a problem. Maybe it's speaking of the clarity in what you're speaking. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Could be the clarity. Could be the speed of it. Yeah. And I'm sure there's adjustments in there. Or they just might be pieces of shit. Maybe you just got to give them time to learn. Maybe they like your tone. The funny thing. If you lighten your tone up when you talk to those devices, they might be always sensitive. You're not the boss. Maybe they'll lighten my tone. So the funny thing when we're using it, I got a Mercedes mother to look at it. She was playing with it. But well, it's funny is the whole time she was talking, she was, or you know, I'd send something to her. I'd say something and then she would read it. And then I'd put the speaker on for her to talk. But she's sitting there reading it out loud. And it's just see, see, see, see, see. She just kept, he's talking, he's talking. It was awesome. It's funny. But it was picking up the TV too. Huh. So you could, it was translating what was going on in the TV. So that's what I was telling him. I was like, that's kind of, that must have been fucking confusing. She's sitting there reading it. It's translating the TV. And translating what the fuck she's saying. He's got it all right. Like it's like, what are you talking about? Like it was funny. Confusing me out. Yeah, confused. Nothing but chaos. It's fucking hilarious. But yeah, a guard did not like it. Yeah, I'm not a fan of those roads. Yeah. They're getting there. There's got to be something out there that can help. Well, you can pay more money. I mean, there's a set that's, I think they're like $600 for a set of earbuds. This must be like even better. What you waiting on? It's the love of your life. I'm on our Spanish. It's going to be cheaper. No, you know, though, but like you were saying earlier, you wanting to go to Costa or Madin, Columbia. You want to spend time in Mexico? That's going to be your best bet. Oh, yeah. Well, and it's gotten even easier. Talking to her on text, learning how to read it. You know, seeing it every day, using it every day, I'll pick it up. And you could always buy one of the like Duolingo. It's a, yeah. So Duolingo has, you can get the app on your phone, and it'll do the first like entry level classes. Like I think they're all free in there. And you just get on there and tells you how to talk to people, how to fucking what those interactions sound like. Well, I figured what I'm going to do first is because everything you put into this iPhone, you can have it say it to you. So you can hear and just keep listening, keep saying it. At least it's free. It's free. Yeah. I mean, I can get by. One way, one way out. I can ask for beer. One way to really work through it. It's essential. Just with your, if you're just at home, like just chilling, you're working on anything. Put the Spanish TV show on and then just let it play and then wait for words to... Oh, I know what that word is. I know what that word is. I know what that word is. And then just... I'm pretty sure it was my new son that told me to do that too. I also told you the same thing. Watch the telenovelas. Well, some emotions is the best way to learn any language. Right. Put this around yourself with it. Or you could take those earbuds that you're such a fan of and change that fancy TV into where it speaks Spanish, and it'll go back in there into your buddy. I mean, I'll try it. You're a movie fan. You probably remember a lot of lines off the movies. There you go. Try that. I'll do it. That's another one. You'll be speaking Spanish better than me in Maui in no time. Yeah. Yeah. That would be awesome. It would be. I don't know. I believe in you. I believe in you too. I appreciate it. Yeah, yeah. Be speaking Spanish. We go into restaurants ordering tacos for us. Yeah, man. Buddy, can you order a formulation too? So learn some Spanish. Yeah. Can you read this for me, Woody? Yeah. What does that say? What does that say? What does this mean? And then Maui can do your service in Spanish also. You know what? Honestly, if it was going to be a script, I could. Script. I mean, they have, you know, more of them. Did you just wing mine or what? Those, you had a blank sheet of paper and nothing. I'm not something that fucking way. That don't sound like a Rocky and Bullwig. So hey, Rocky, watch me pull a squirrel out of my ass. No, I didn't mean yours. I had stuff that was written down. I know. But if it was going to be in all Spanish, it would have to be completely scripted. Everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, that would be good. Like I said, you could do that right there on Amistad Bridge. Yeah. Yeah, both of y'all. It's still going to be funny to see my family's look on their face from all that red and gold rolls up. This is going to be badass. That is going to be badass. I've had my whole bridge took over. Just stop traffic for. Oh, yeah. So that'd be even better because it'd just be like fucking four or five words real quick. Do you take him to be here? Do you take her to be here? Yep, piece of bride. You don't get enough that easy. If we're going to stop a bridge, we're going to have to get off that easy. Oh, no, there's traffic. There's plenty of places there, you know, that's right. You're right there at the international marker on Amistad that you can go on. Oh, right, they do. Yeah, it's intentional. Yeah, because now you say a lot of people have done that. Yeah. I mean, that's kind of a cool thing to do to even save them. What's good luck? There's no service out here. Yeah, I got service. Do you? Yeah. Who's your phone provider? AT&T. Stupid. They're welcome here. What was the name of the game? Emma. T-Mobile. They pride themselves on having like all the best fucking receptionist shit. I don't know, he just said he got to get up. Okay. There it is. Oh, to look up the bridge deal? Yeah. That would be pretty cool. Yeah, I'm not opposed to that. That would be cool. Let's put in wedding. I don't know, I might not be getting married. She keeps getting on my ass about drinking beer. Oh, no, you got, you just go ahead and marry her. My wife still gets on to me. I don't like nagging. I don't call it nagging. I call it encouragement. Encouragement to be disobedient. You can either take it and be good or... Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're words of affirmation for me. I'm very rebellious. That's funny. Words of affirmation. Yeah. That whole deal, that whole fucking genre of the words of affirmation and your seven love languages. Yeah, you don't believe it? No. There's something to it. If you, I feel like if you answer honestly, but I feel like there's a lot of like people focus on the one or two that they're strong on, well, you got a piece of all of them. Everybody does, right? So let's focus on the weak ones. Yeah. And make them better. That kind of, I look at it. I look at it as more of a self-improvement deal, whereas they look at it as reinforcement. That's the way they are. Yeah, it's the, it's the get off. Yeah, for the way they are. This is, you know, that's just my, well, okay, be better. If you want to, if not, then okay, then let's clearly state that. Yeah. And we can sort that out from here. We turn the lights on. So I'm learning, I'm having to learn like mindfulness with my therapist. She's got me doing these crazy drills every two weeks. Really? Yeah, yeah. So the first one was just like breathing. And I'm not mad at them. They're kind of cool. But the last one, you know, I'm just sitting there and I have to close mine and she can see me 'cause I'm sitting in front of the laptop. So it's on the computer. Yeah. And you're just like sitting there present and like filling your toes and then the top of your feet, she's very descriptive. Like the top of your feet, the bottom of your feet, you know, the balls of your feet, then your calves, and then your shins and like where it's way up. I mean, What do you mean by film? Like just like concentrate all of them? Yeah, like focus on what the sensation there in that point in your body. So just as I have. Yeah, you're kind of just generating all your focus on yeah, individual parts. So what happens if the person has diabetes? Sounds like a weird question. But a lot of people with diabetes have no filling in their feet. So they just don't like the tingle? Nothing. Nothing. There's just that. Well, yeah, I don't know how that would work then. Yeah, I don't know. Just something. That's like leprosy. Right. Leprosy. No feeling in this. That's why they're all body parts of rotten fall off, you know? Yeah, that's a nice guy. That I want to know her answer. If they can't feel it. Yeah, like if you have no filling in something. How do you? Well, you can move it. You can. They can move it, but they can't feel it. Well, so that's what I do is I'll wiggle my toes. Yeah. Just to like, okay, they're in my shoes. They're still there. Yeah. Yeah. Count them. And then I'll try it in a little bit. But I'll be like, okay, something else. Like after the cotton, like on the socks or my shoe. If I got shoes on or whatever. And then you just walk your way all the way up. Yeah, yeah. And then she goes, yeah. So just shoulders in your hands. It's kind of a weird. It feels like it takes forever. I don't know how long it actually takes. Like it's just a minute or two. Put a stopwatch on. But this is part of the. That's what we do at the end of every therapy session that we go through. Hmm. Self-awareness. Yeah. That's what she calls it. Oh, really? Yeah. Dang. Throwin' out therapy words. I'm telling you, dude, they're pausing. They're pausing. It's not horrible. It's something to do, I guess. Yeah. That makes sense. She does like, she likes to have a podcast though. She's like, oh, yeah. Like talk about your podcast. And what do you talk about listeners? And I'm like, okay. She thinks it's a good thing. Like she really does. Because you get to get on here and just like an express. And so I told her, I was like, yeah, we should get on there based and talk shit. Yeah. Be real. I don't know if she listens or not. But I assume she does. I was listening to. One way to find out. To write, ask her. You may show you these pictures. I was listening to somebody the other day and they were talking about being real and how important it is. Because being real on a podcast just shows how genuine you are. And it tends to bring people to you. People will talk about it. People will tell other people about it. And that's just how you grow. Okay. And we're very, very genuine straight forward here. Oh, yeah. Well, I think the energy is usually pretty good. Like I've been a fit a lot from it. Even if I'm an asshole. Like looking back, I have edited a lot of episodes of me. Oh, dude. I was like, extra dickish that day. I probably need to scale back on some of the things. I thought that was my job. Well, yeah. It is your job. I took over that on a couple episodes. The last one in particular. That was like a month and a half ago. That was older too. Yeah, it was. It's funny. Just listen to that. I was like, God. Oh, dude. It was brutal. I was listening back over again. I kept having to get up, walk out. Yeah. Come back in. It's funny. So, what are you, man? Tell us about you, man. I'm kind of. You've been sitting here just kind of jumping in and out. Give us. I mean, just tell us about you. Whatever you want to tell us. We're not here to judge you. We'll just. I'm not. Actually, we are. We're just here to know you. You know, where are you from? Born and raised in big springs. Born and raised in Midland. In Midland? Moved to Houston in '89. Came back in '93. So, you're born and raised in Midland when you moved to Houston in '89. How old were you? Uh, I see '93. I was 12. So, yeah, June, yes, 12. So, you're 10. Finish. Finish. Okay. Been on the month. Actually, we went out there just hung out bullshitted with the fam, huh? Why'd y'all move out there? Uh, dad's work. Who wants to work? Penzo oil. Penzo oil. Okay. Isn't that, isn't that one of, uh, didn't Bush's company convert to Penzo oil? I think Bush was, he was in a company called Penske, I think. Right. And then they, they merged with another company. Jay Hueleke and Bush. Yeah. Jay Hueleke body mount started Penzo. I think that's. It was something like that, right? Yeah. I knew he was connected to it somewhere. Yeah. Yeah. He went into politics and got out of it. Yeah. Yeah, because they, uh, being into politics, you have to, yeah, I can see that. So, we came back to fucking Midland after a few years. And we're just going after that. Great. You graduate from Leer High. I never graduated. GED. Self-educated man. Self-educated. Okay, then, has that made that, has that made that talk to you over the years? Uh, sometimes it's making it tough on me now. It makes me mad because I made it. Ah, pretty much the company, man. On a drilling rig. Without a GED. So, I was in directional for 15 years. Drilling wells. Mm-hmm. Moving up. Yeah. And then you get to a certain point and they're like, oh, you don't even have a fucking degree. Yeah. High school diploma or nothing. Yeah. I was actually held an engineering position for pretty much 15 years. That's fucking crazy. I was dying of hot oil at 15. Picking money. Just doing shit. Rogger transports. Out of Midland. That's awesome. You, uh. Now it's Lenora. I'm sure y'all see that on 58. Uh-huh. Oh, yeah, yeah. Rogger transports. Okay. Damn, dude, that's fucking wild. That's cool. Yeah. No education for fucking running. Running a rig. I mean, don't they say that basically a college is just something for them to find out who is pliable? No, that's what I want 100% believe that it's. They give you a task and say, do this by this date and go be an adult, but still have this fucking done. Yeah. That's really all it is. And you're on your own. It's not high school where you have teachers. And it just takes the people from free thinkers. Yeah. To the people that all obey. Yeah. That's why it took me two different attempts for fighting for you. I made it before I made it. Maybe I should behave myself. Maybe I tried it. I was like, this ain't gonna work. So I went to the Marine Corps and then went was like, all right, I definitely don't want to do this anymore. That's what I call it. Let's try this one again. It's a little bit easier to take teaching. That's funny. That's cool. Like that's that's props too. Like on the job training, like learning real engineering is like from the application and failures on the site, like learning on the spot. Yeah. And I see it all time. I see people come out of college, engineers come out of college and you know, they're just reading out of a book. And their egos are through the free roof. Oh yeah. And I'm like, we've already done this. This has already been tried. That's why it's in a book. I mean, it's seriously. Well, a lot of them come in trying to reinvent the wheel. Well, yeah. Like reinvent what's already in the book. Right. Well, let's try this again. I think I can make this work. Okay. I would say that fucking pisses me off so about getting new engineers. And we're having a problem. It's a problem we've had for a long time. He comes to me and he's like, hey, we have this problem. This is what I want to do to fix it and never be like, it's not going to work. How do you know? That's what we've done it like three times. One and one thing I had to learn though, was that the application like just my words could initiate a whole bunch of labor and steps from a bunch of other dudes right just for an idea. Oh, yeah. And that's why you can't just come in and start saying it because you just engaged a whole bunch of people to do a bunch of work. Yeah. That they may not have already, they've already done it and they don't want to fucking do it again. Yep. And they just are. It's an idea they actually read it in a book. Like words are easy to come up with. But you engage a lot of people sometimes. It's a fact. You write it down and you're like, man, this is fucking brilliant. And you give it to another person and they're like, oh, yeah, there's brilliant. Let's implement it. And it gets implemented. And then all the people at the bottom, they're like, who the fucking wrote it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, fuck. Who's going to do that? We got to get somebody to do this. Yeah, it's always the worst. My big fight is always like with the engineers is the fact that they want something and they'll come and ask and just like, no, that's not going to work. And I always feel like they look at me judgmental like, bitch, I'm the engineer and you're the employee. Just execute it. And I'm telling you, like, no, like it's not going to work. Right. Because it looks good on paper. Does not mean it's going to work in the real world. Yeah, that's a lot of it too. You know, there's a lot of engineers. And I think the vast majority of them, it's like you say they can't. The real world application does not work. You know, present company accepted my brother over here. But my mother's second husband was a civil engineer. Matter of fact, when he retired, he was the resident engineer for the Corps of Engineers, Fort Richardson, Alaska, probably one of the smartest men I ever knew, built the generators on Gillian Shimey, the over-the-horizon radar system on ADAC. You know, probably one of the smartest men I ever knew, but that man could not walk across the room without getting lost. That's crazy. So smarty stupid. He could tell you, he could tell you exactly, look at a blueprint and you could be on the phone. And he could tell you exactly where this was and what you needed to do to fix that problem. But if he went out there to try to fix himself, he'd fuck it up. Straight book smart. Yeah, no common sense. That's badass. You hear about those people? I've never met one. Oh, I had you. Yeah, in direction. I was actually training him as an M.W.D. hand. He was a mechanical engineer. I love telling the story. Shows how stupid these people are. Oh my God. Would he tell us a story? So we have a kit box and it has our tool in it and it has others hand tools and stuff. One thing we do not have is a big sludge hammer. So if you want a sludge hammer, you need, you know, you have to go up to the rig floor or get the rig hands, bring you a sludge hammer or whatever. So when it lightens in thunders, we have a, so the tool works as a ones and zeros, binary code that comes up through the mud. Okay. Up through the hole, up through the mud, into a wire, comes to what you call BTR. Right. And it now translates up to a computer. So when it lightens and thunders and stuff, you have to ground it. You're supposed to ground it anyways. Not never. Unless it started. Lighten it. And he had seen me do this three times. Now, granted, we don't have a sludge hammer in the kit box. So we, but we have this huge, it's like a spanner wrench for putting the M.W.D. tool in it. And it's got a big head on it like a sledge hammer. I'm showing, I beat that thing down in the ground. Seen it three times. Well, then I've just gotten off tower and taught, was lightening. I said, hey, man, it's lightening. You've seen me do this. Put that ground rod in, hook it up to the BTR. All right. So I'm going to lay down. I'm watching a movie and I hear ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting. And I didn't even have to get up out of bed. I knew what he was using. There's one hammer in that kit box. And it's a two ounce ball paint. By the same ball paint. For putting roll pins in for the screen, the pipe screens. I didn't even get up. I was like, just screw it. Sometimes you got to learn the hard way to understand why sometimes we do see it for a reason. I got up that next one. The first thing I did was look out the door and that ground rod was just laying up against the You can see a little indention in the clenchy. 30 minutes he was out there just beating the tar out of that thing. So I know he took several physics classes. Right. The heavy freaking ranch would make the most sense to hammer something in. Something heavy. Sometimes you got to think outside the toolbox with the tools in the toolbox. Literally, literally. I still love telling that story. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I might just fucking engineer. Because I hate engineers. My brother. Well, I mean, hey, but he's got a role to experience. So let me rephrase it. Yeah, that would be a good thing. So I became an engineer because digging all the ditches and finishing all the concrete and laying all the work from my dad. He would always in like the shitty conditions always tell me, you don't want to do this for the rest of your life. Go be an architect or an engineer. And so I've tried to join the Marine Corps when I got out. That was I was like, all right. Fuck it. I'll go be an engineer now. I mean, at least digging ditches. That's the only job. You can start on top and work your way down. Oh, boy. Yeah, stupid. And sometimes you work your way down so far. There ain't no way to get out. That's right. So I had a ditch sticker. He was a contractor where I was with LCA. And he had his own suite that still does. At the Cowboys Stadium, had his own parking space. We flew out of freaking Schlemer in Odessa, landed at Ding Love Airport. Okay. And we landed and like had a chauffeur pick us up. Take us to the his parking space and into his suite. And he's owns a ditching company. He lays waterline for Edgar County. He's a ditch digger. I'm not going to give his name out because we're not a we're not friends anymore. I'm not going to be hard. I guess kind of we make we shook hands since then, but he don't fly me to know more Cowboys games. Oh, and I've been to the thing I went to three. Well, you don't want to go to the Cowboys game right now. Anyway, well, I did time to go. It did win today. Yeah, but it was you leave that day. We leave Sunday fly out and then fly in late Sunday night. And I show up to work on Monday. See him probably and next part, you know, project meeting or something. Right. It was cool. That's cool. I hear the Cowboys tickets are going a little cheap right now. They are losing his ass off. Yeah, he's taxing the suites a little harder. Can I talk about this table? You sure can. Yeah. Main street. Main street diner. Yes, sir. Well, there's a there's another one in the shop that's got. They're just getting where I saw the last time. So my dad's done when he was GC and he's and we got plumber Bruce does a bunch of work over there too. But we've just done some renovations for him and stuff. So when they get rid of old, put in new, we get to keep the old. That's cool. Yeah, it is pretty cool. We make friends in places like that. So the stainless steel bar having the shop came from the bar in Midland. I spent a lot of time there. They were getting a new one in the bar town. I was like, hey, we're going to throw this out. I was like, you're throwing it away. He said, yeah, I think so. I was like, well, I won it. He said, well, let me talk to the manager. She came over and said, well, if you're here, like two tomorrow with a trailer, I'll have the boys loaded up. And sure enough, I showed up. And then I wanted to take in some of them. I had to look at the whole table. That's one of the companies to work for. Now, the other one's got a bunch of cool ones on there that you can see. Yeah, it's a pentagon, octagon, six-agon. Six-agon. I'm an engineer too. I took the shape class. That's the one that's playing around the whole class. Now, what's the one we were talking about the other day in Odessa? The decagon? Oh, the dodecahedron. The dodecahedron. What? It's not a cube. It's a spherical shape, but every face of it is a pentagon. And they're all equal sides. So every square, every length on this thing is the same length. And every area is the same. And it makes us a sphere. It's called a dodecahedron. Why fucking no, no, no. But they made one and then it's art at UTPB. And we were driving the herders. So there's a dodecahedron. He's like, what the fuck? I'm kind of amazed. What would be the practical application of something like that? There's no practice. Now, they're playing with numbers in areas to find the perfect shape. Yeah. Because they are all equal, right? And so it's a simple formula. And so we learned a lot from right triangles and math. We can easily equate and do quick numbers from relationships set up from that type of stuff. So I mean, I kind of see where they're going with it. And I like to say dodecahedron. I'd like to see you say that after about four yards of moonshine. Yeah, I'll try. I'll try it. You're right back. It's something called the dodecahedron. I'll be by it. With the bottle of moonshine. I'll be sitting. I'll climb up in there through one of the Pentagon. You can sit inside of it and drink it. That would be. Don't say dodecahedron. Dodecahedron. That's what we're naming the episode by. Okay. I'm saying that words like China speaks some of the Spanish holy crap. What do you mean? Spanish is easy. Don't Dickie. How is that? Don't deck ahedron. Don't deck ahedron. No, it's not dicking your mouth. That's $20. That's funny. Hey, so a while back, me and you were chit chatting about something. And you told me a crazy story about motorcycle accident you got into. Tell, tell Zeke about it. So yeah, I'm here to. I don't think so. Oh, crap. So we went to. We had started drinking early. Never started early. Never started early. It was definitely still daylight. Okay. Probably noon. Gotcha. What's that restaurant? Not Texas Roadhouse, but the other state councilmen. Logan's. Logan's. They had these long island I Steve. Ooh, fire. Yeah. And we just used a couple of buddies. It's just me and one other buddy. At the time. And I had party two or three of those. And I was on my fourth. And they poured it into the goak up. They don't cut you off after two. Not back then. We were in a truck at the time. So this is why they have a cut off them. You're the reason. And I went even on my bike. Went on my bike the whole day the whole night. We went to a birthday party at the now. I don't know what it's called now. It was the ranch. And. Fuck the ranch. Yeah. I was just plastered. And it had a ride home. I never was big on drinking and driving. I get home. The only thing I remember is it's like a dream to me. I threw my leg over the bike. Don't remember sticking the key in. Don't remember starting it. Don't remember running from the pulleys. Three days later I wake up in the hospital. Friends standing over me. Nurses. Do you know where you're at? I said, yeah, I'm in the hospital. You've been in a bad motor sucker. I looked at my friend Randy and Chris. I said, go look at my bike. Go see what's wrong with my bike. Holy shit. So I hit a tree. They said I was doing about a hundred. Gahhh! And I endowed, hit the curb, endowed into the tree. Tree come up and it forked up. My head hit like this. And they said I was hanging by my neck in the tree. And the cop that I did talk to, he said that he gets there and they don't do anything. They're just sitting there and their sergeant pulls up and he goes, y'all to get that guy out of the tree and lay him down. He goes, why, sergeant? He's dead. Get him out of the tree and lay him down. And they said, they didn't want any fucking people driving by with the home of the house. I mean, he was standing out there apparently because I eventually talked to him too. Apparently, get that guy out of my tree. So many cars have hit this guy's house. It was unreal. Oh, I bet. Yeah. So he was on Norway, or Hanes Norway. You know where the fire station is right by the mall? I do. That's Hanes. Okay. So I turned there and it S is like this and it's straight away. Yep. That house right at the T is what I hit. They said all it is. And they said they started reviving me, reviving me twice while I get the house. When they got you down? Yeah. Oh, shit. And then it was in a coma for three days. Broken collarbone, broken shoulder blade, wig split open. Two months later ran from the cops again. In 45 minutes. Oh, you had to finish the cheese. I didn't remember the first one. Yeah, motherfucker. I didn't remember the first one. So I was like, well, let's do this again. I'm sober. Try clear headed down. Yeah. You did that second fucking run. And you still had stitches in your head, huh? Yes. Staples. Staples in this. No, no, two months later. Some other staples. No, no, no. Broken collarbone, shoulder blade was still there. Fuck that. I had to stay in the jail show with my back brace on because of that fucking warrant. Dang. Yo, man. Let me use this wheelchair. First pair was as a pillow. Two kids. It's shitty, man. I even thought like, dude, I'm just gonna fucking back brace. You're gonna make me stay in this concrete freaking bed. Yeah, you got a war now. It's a day old. They're leaving cards. See, I would imagine. I don't see why they don't make any kind of, like you're obviously your hurt, right? Like they don't make any kind of exceptions. No, no, they don't. Done. No. The only exception was, so I'm always in solitary. So when they go out to, you know, they let everybody out general pop. While you're still in the detox tank or whatever, like I can go back into my own cell and come out when I want to. Like if everybody's already inside, like they'll let me out by myself, I can just sit there. That was where the only exception Midland ever did. Hell, Slacker County. I had a shower. The coffee and coulays and chicken fried steak. And I wasn't, I was all by myself. Yeah, I felt like a king. I was going to jail party. Yeah, I've been told that Martin County now with the updates. Wayne. Oh, no, Wayne wasn't in the new one. Wayne who? Jay Wayne, Tony, Wayne. Oh, no, no, no. I was told that with the, with this new one that they have, like it's pretty fucking legit. They got good beds. They have like, they give really good meals now. Hey, let's go. So how do we want them to? Want to stay? We're just making it pleasant, I guess. That's what we got to be here. Pretty hot to the cot, baby. Yeah, right. That's where it's at. My, I think this can be a homeless shelter. Well, let me show. They like the hospital. Every, I was hearing when they put the new hospital up, they're like, oh man, the hospital suit is so good. So good. My dad used to take me there to eat. The new one? Yes. Yes. He liked it. He loved it. When he got a senior citizen discount, he can eat for like two bucks. Yeah, I mean, well, I was in the hospital. I was in the hospital for like, fucking seven days. And that the food they still give to, the patient sucks. Oh no, you don't get the same food as a cafeteria. No, you don't. No, you don't. So then you get hospital rations. Yeah. So you come to me and be like, what do you want for lunch? This is your options. And I was like, I don't want shit. I didn't get out of my bed and I would walk to the cafeteria. Yeah, where your thes are cooking food. Yeah. I don't go buy food. She was just not good. That's not my dad, ain't there? Because it was all freaking people he knew that were cooking. That's why he knew they could cook. Yeah. And it was good. Yeah, it was pretty good food. And you only go on certain days, because he knew what the menu was. That was our lunch when I was working. They're having chicken strips tonight. Let's go. Who doesn't love a good chicken strip? Hospital of food is definitely like, gel food. No, our hospital had like Yisada. Got an Yisada. We were like, you know, all sorts of cool shit. When they first opened up. Yeah. And that's it here in the middle. And it's Martin County. Martin County. Martin County. I've never. It's a pretty nice hospital. I have been there, actually. When I broke up that dog fight, I thought I fractured my foot. When I kicked the dog. I went to the yard. I was like, man, it's ready to shoot. So I think I'm fucking broke it. He's like, okay. They've got him breaking. I just tore something. But God, I kicked the shit out of the hole. You kicked that dog hardest. Well, next time just used the gun. Yeah, I have a heart. Yeah, I can't. Oh, ladies got a soft spot for dogs. Yeah, I got to be careful. Hey, I want the bullets distributed. Got a soft spot for dogs. I do too. But attacking me or somebody. No, they were fighting each other. I was just breaking it up. It was the big. And they're big ones. They were aggressive. Big dogs. And maybe it's a wives tale. You're supposed to stick your finger after butt. We're going to leave that as a wives tale. Well, the next. Well, I'll tell you look. The next time the next time there's a dog fight, we're going to be calling you. But don't call me because I'll just shoot the dog. Oh, no, no, we're going to either prove or disprove. Yeah, yeah. This is your idea. Yeah, it turns out. I didn't want an idea. This is somehow hard. We're going to let you figure that out. Well, now we're curious to see if it actually is a legit or not. Hey, you can use your fucking ribbed cigar motor. It's ribbed for your pleasure. Just turn it around. See, that dog likes it. Man, I think I'd be attacked by the dog at that point. Showed in there, like, curl your finger. And then you just got a hold of them. You bought a ball at motherfucker. This is like, just went off the rails. That's good shit. Oh, I like that. That's fucking hilarious. Ah, Lee, what the heck came up? You're going to be sticking your finger in the dogs. Well, I'm almost ready just to give him the education. Like, you know, if we give you a jar of peanut butter and there's a dog, just remember the peanut butter goes on you, not the dog. There's no first play required on the dogs. Yeah, it sounds like you're the one that's going to be so nasty. But you're a dog. You were dogs. You're a dog. This conversation is definitely going down here. It's going off the rails. Yeah, we go from talking about engineering to woody sticking his finger up. A dog's ass with a ribbed cigar. Oh, I mean, that sounds like... That sums up my education right here. Oh, crap. Son of a bitch. Oh, my God. That's pretty good. It is good. I was never vied it back. Yeah. Yeah. We haven't had anybody not be invited back. Well, you're tipping the scale, sir. He even got mama's alarm going there. He just made it weird. God damn. Anyways, I have no idea. That's the realm we live in, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's just as bad as Goose. Well, I heard it on one of the TV shows we're watching. Our life is chaos with glimmers of like brilliant success. But it's all chaos. It's always chaos. And then you see glimmers of success. Controlled chaos. That's the idea. But when you lose control, damn, you can lose control. Pretty quick, huh? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It gets wild real fast. That's all that, uh, what's his name? From fucking Toy Story, not Woody, the other one. He was controlled chaos, right, as he fell. Buzz Lightyear. Buzz Lightyear, yeah. He was controlled chaos. He sure was. Jesus. To infinity and beyond. Man, I would I would like to be a space ranger. I tried to sign up for the space force. They said I was too high strong. I could I could say they weren't they weren't looking for for my type of people yet. I can see you being a space ranger. I tried why I applied for the space for this and no. You really applied for it? Yeah. When? Few years ago. I hope it when they first like came into existence. I said, I want to see what maybe I can fuck the job like. Nah, we're not really looking for former Marines. We're a little more computer nerds. More, more Air Force guys. Like no, you're just. We started making planets. We'll start recruiting them on the Marine side. Stick doggies. Yeah. They were gonna give me no tasers, no nuts. Yeah, I'm seeing a Starship Troopers, right? Exactly. God, like man, that's why I'm mad. I want to fight some giant buzzy shit. Some hot giant buzz. I'm not against it though. Like if we're going to be doing that shit. Oh, I was telling you that shit the other day that they're going to be sending that robot to Europa. Oh, yeah. To the moon. To the, yeah. Well, there's an Elon interview. He's talking like we got to go multi-planetary at some point. Oh, this is what I was looking for. You're talking about Buzz Light, you're in a space ranger. Apparently here, I'll show this to my apparently this is supposedly a legitimate letter that was written to NASA and you see the diagrams up there too. Okay. Okay, now. I have a hard time reading this without laughing. Okay. Anyway, actual letter written to NASA. Well, this guy wrote a letter to NASA and this is what he got back from NASA. Oh, they responded? Yes. And it says, Dear Mr. Jones, we think. Oh, this is November 15, 2013. Dear Mr. Jones, we thank you for your interest in our work. Unfortunately, though, we have no interest in your attached sketch, a title, a breakthrough in awesome space rockets. The diagon. The diagon. See the diagram. Hold and see the diagram. What? Now give me some money. We've long been aware of the science behind the reaction that occurs between Coke and Mentos. So believe us. Y'all are killing believe us when we say there is no practical use for it in our work. Even if we did as you so eloquently put it, a shitload of Coke. That's how he's going to lock rock guitar. Mentos and Coke. Mentos and Coke. A shitload of Coke. A shitload of Coke. Let's see if I get to this next sentence. Regarding your application, if it can be called that, to become a spaceman, we regret to inform you that we're not looking for anyone at the present time. Besides, it takes years of hard training to become an astronaut and is not, as you suggest, something so simple, a chimp has done it. We have sent chimps in this space to learn more. We suggest you read up on your so-called idol, Buzz Aldrin, whom we assume you were referring to when you wrote Buzz Lightyear. Due to our security concerns caused by their attachment, we won't be able to return the mince you glued to your original letter. Sincerely, Stephen Malkovich, Associate Administrator. That's hilarious. I've got a fucking cough today that's irritating. Is that time of year? No, not yet. That hasn't even got cold yet. I don't know, but we're in November, like almost at the end of it. Yeah, it's next week, in a few days. Yeah. Thanks, Stephen, since Thursday, right? Yes, it is. Yeah. I really hope I hit in some of my squares. I was doing the Matthew of the day, and I've probably spent like $2,000, which is to gamblers. To gamblers, it's not a lot. To me, that's a lot. It's a lot. Yeah. Well, $2,000 over the past like four years, right? Still a lot. And I've only one, I've only one one time. So right now, can you better pay? So right now, I'm super negative. Oh. Even if I won, I'll have to win like three times this Thursday, just to be able to... Come on, the black? Yeah. This is why I don't play. But no, it's fair. The only reason I do play during Thanksgiving in Super Bowl is because the payouts are fucking... They're big. Yeah. Precious, I like the Thanksgiving ones. Yeah. I was being, I just got told here recently that there's... There's a board in Midland that is kind of tough to get on because people who get on the board stay on it. And it's $500 a square. The last payout in the fourth quarter, that person wins $16,000. Holy shit. That's fucking amazing. Yeah. I used to do one that was that was 500 bucks a square. Really? With a couple standing guys, Michael Paul. Mm-hmm. It was with... Probably that golf association. Oh, really? I think so. Did you ever hit big? I would win one of the... one of the quarters and I think I won... Yeah, I won like 2,500 bucks or something crazy. Yeah. Yeah, that's fucking insane. That was a good year too. Man. Yeah, yeah. So, the way they were telling me was that that board... It immediately... There's three sets that it immediately pays out. It pays out 8, 8, 5, 5. Yeah, the 2, 2, 2. So, you immediately get your money back if you get those numbers. Which isn't bad, but you still get to keep the square. Yeah. Which means you can still win. Right. One then they always... Because they always paid 0, 0, 500 bucks if they just draw it. Because they were lucky and that's how the game starts. That's the game starts, yeah. So then it also pays out 40 in reverse and every quarter it gets... You get a bigger chunk. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, hmm. Yeah, that's how the fourth quarter always ended up so damn big. So big, yeah. I bet, yeah. Probably one of the same ones. It might have been. It might have been another one. Wow. Well, this guy was telling me about it. And I was like, well, you know, if I was a little bit more lucky and I won every once in a while, where I was at least just fucking square. And not just always in the fucking red. Not so far. Yeah. I would take that kind of chance. But I don't. I never win like that. Y'all are talking gibberish to me. You don't know about squares? I don't do you. I don't gamble. But I'm saying you don't know anything. So squares, you'll find out real quick if you're fucking looking or not. So there's a board. It's got 100 squares in it. I've seen the squares. Yeah. I just don't. I'm going to fight them. I don't watch sports anymore either. You don't have to watch sports. You just need to be for the phone calls that you know you want. I have a hard time throwing money away. Yeah, I know. Unless it's for me, I'm selfish. Well, that could be for you. You're throwing it away for you. But I want to win. The return is usually pretty positive. I want to be able to know. I mean, I'm going to buy something for myself. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm not going to just take the chance to lose it. 500 dollars and be like shit. No, no, that's just that one particular board, right? But throughout the year, they have like $10 boards. Yeah, you can do more. Yeah. I'm never that lucky. Yeah. I don't play a lot of those kinds of stuffs. I'm not very lucky. Everyone's on. The only time I played the lottery is whenever it hits a billion. I mean, as well. Yeah, I figured if we'd sat high, I might as well put my name in the hat. I'm just every time I bought stretch, scratching off, slaughtering tickets. I think the most I've ever won is at that time, the money back. That's it. I've never won more than. Yeah. I've put in. Yeah, I'm about the same. One time I won 500. On a scratch off? On a scratch off. Nice. And it was by chance I was at work. Me and one of the co-workers went to the store. We were buying stuff. And there was a scratch off on the table while we were checking out. And we were going to pay with the credit card. And the lady was like, "We can't accept credit card payments for scratch offs." Right. And I was like, I looked at it and I looked at Raymond and I was like, "You got the cash for it?" And he was like, "No." And I pulled out my wallet and I was like, "I've got 10 bucks." And he opened his wallet. He was like, "I got 10 bucks." And I was like, "Cool." So I gave the lady 20 bucks and she packaged everything up. We went on back to the shop and he unpacked everything. And it was usually lottery ticket, bro. And I was like, "It's not my ticket." I thought it was your ticket. He goes, "I didn't ask for that ticket." It was just sitting there. So I scratched it and it was 500 bucks. Nice. I'll take it. I took it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We went and cashed it out. I gave him $250. Nice. I kept $250. Yeah. Because we went and has on it, right? It was just, yeah. Taking somebody left there. So the guy that was in front of us, he walked out. I think he was going back to his car to get money. Oh, and then we just happened to purchase it. Yeah, it was there. Yeah. Sorry, bro. Sucks to be you. That does, man. That sucks. I'm even mad. So he's never even going to know, right? He's going to walk in and be like, "Oh, I had a lottery ticket. I got my cash." Oh, yeah, here you go. Shh. Maybe the lesson to this podcast had found out. Who? That would be awesome. Well, I had to give him a, I had to put a lot of details into it. Vocation, like time frames. Because if he even heard the podcast, how would he still know it was hipster? Maybe, I don't know. All right, so. It's in the universe. It's in the universe. Yeah, you might want to leave the location service, so if you'd have a bunch of people knocking under it. Hey, that was my lottery ticket. [Laughter] If you can get it, it was it. Can you tell me where it was purchased? That would be the heart. That would be the kicker. You want a Connecticut? No. I got stuck in here. Nice. Just stash. What would that look like? Did you do? Next, you're going to be at a big humidor. I have a big humidor. Oh, it's like 500 cigars. Hey, that's bigger than mine. Yeah, that's what everybody says, really. [Laughter] Yeah, I think mine's supposed to hold 300 is what it says. It's empty. It's not. I'd have anything in it. I used to. So years ago, I used to smoke cigars all the time. So I bought a big ice humidor, and I would order them online, and I would get on the fucking auction sites, and I would order shit off the auction sites. Because you get really good deals off the auction sites. And that's how I would keep it stocked, and I would smoke all the time. And then I just stopped. I had to stop smiling. It's getting full. Yeah, man, I just stopped buying. I stopped smoking. I stopped just all around. Just stopped. Now you get back into it. And then shortly after that, I quit smoking cigarettes. When Zach started coming back around, Zach started, he would smoke cigars. So then I was like, fuck, I'll take a cigar. And then this guy started, he smoked cigars, and Gilbert smoked cigars, and I give him a smoke fucking cigar. And there it is, yeah. Yeah. So I need to get, I need to get, I have a hard case like that. That's ready and gold at home. I need to get it situated so I can throw it into the bag. And okay, I'm in the scooter. Oh, you know, I've got, I've got a pretty good size one there. Just like that, hard case. Except about to, about like that. It'd be something he needs to be carrying around on these luggage rack. Yeah. That's right. You mean like this one? Yeah, it's about like four times that size. I think I, I've got two or three like that. I've got a leather soft one that, something I gave me. Oh, your man bag? Yeah, my man bag. On what's that name? You're bullsey. Do you have a man bag? He has a man bag. For cigars. Yeah. Oh, really? And this is a papa fritas. Papas fritas? Do you know what papa fritas are? He is french fries. French fries. I like french fries. Or freedom fries. Freedom fries? That almost makes me want to tell a French joke. What do you call a hundred thousand Frenchmen with their hands in the ear? What? The French army. Okay. What an opportunity this motherfucker. I'm broken. I don't know what there is. All kinds of lighters around. Yeah, yeah. We carry lots of lighters all the time. Oh, you see that big one? That was a gift from goose. It's on the side. It's on the side. You turn around, flip it. It has one like this. I think he has the exact one. It's a good fire. It's when he comes back in here. Hey Zeke. When we went to San Antonio and we were at the, we went to the warfighters cigar. Oh, yeah. That guy was selling you a lighter. How did he convince you to buy it? Oh, man. It was the side click clear tank dual barrel lighter. Man, he had a whole sales pitch. Like this one? You have it? Yes. Man, where's my dash? It was somewhere, but yeah, he was like, man, it's a dual barrel freaking clear tank side click. Son of a bitch. And so I bought that $60 fucking lighter. I have it somewhere. It's in the box, I think. It's pretty legit though. That was cool. We got to see their podcast studio set. That's where we got a lot of ideas from. Yeah. We got to tour their whole setup. That's serious. That's that bad boy right there. We, it's a live grenade. Yeah, they even had the head to setups. They had a winner set up and a summer set up because it was too hot in their shop area. Yeah. So they moved it indoors. Indoor, how do we do? Yeah. Kind of like, well, I mean, that's ultimately what we did. Yeah, it was pretty, but it was pretty legit this year. We just went in there. We're like, yeah, I was like, I'm a fan of the podcast. And the guy was like, yeah, I'll take you on the tour. And he just walked us straight to the back. We had to see the whole thing. We got to see one of the guys who was on the podcast. Oh, yeah, he came in there. Although, fat and gross. Girl is now like, oh, that's one of the guys who is on the podcast. Is he right there? It's funny. It's a matter of anger. And I'm like, can I get a picture with you? You missed the Howard County Fair. I did miss the fair. What Howard County Fair? What? This year's negative. There was no Howard County Fair. Yes, there was because you were involved in because you were fan girl with over Aaron Watson. Wasn't it? Ha! I've seen him in Aaron Watson concert. Hey, they were looking for me for like 45 minutes. And I was at the front. Just go to the front. Oh, we're trying to pull it back. I'm like, hey Maui, Maui, we got VIP right here. That's where you find him. Seeing every song. It was pretty cool. Oh, I've seen it. Y'all are just haters that y'all ain't a fan. No, that's not true. I did the same thing like against the Jelly Roll concert. But then I only have one witness. I did the same thing last time I won this all foreign. I would left that place fucking sore as shit. Mosh, I hit him. No, I don't know. It's been a while since I've been in a mosh pit. That is one of the craziest places to be in. Yeah, that just sounds rough next morning. No, maybe you hyped up for that night, but that next morning would be really rough. Mm-hmm. I don't think I could do that. I would say it's your age now, probably not. No, my temper would, I couldn't allow somebody to hit me. So that's the misconception. Mosh pitting isn't hitting. It is like you're going back and forth, but you're just like fucking football tackle. Just boom, just all body, just hitting another person. All body, shoulder like, fucking them up that way. That is all body. Yeah, hard pass on that. Yeah, yeah. So I did say, I've never been on the larger side. Right. So I, yes, I've never been on the larger side. Yeah, I've been on the larger side. Yeah, I've been on the larger side. Yeah, I've been on the larger side. I've been on the larger side. I've been on the larger side. Yeah, I've been on the larger side. Yeah, I've been on the larger side. Yeah, I've been on the larger side. Yeah, I've been on the larger side. Yeah, I've been on the larger side. Yeah, I've been on the larger side. So spinning around. Just fucking, yeah, going after anybody. I did see one time this guy get fucking beat up because he started swinging at people. Yeah, yeah, you can't, I mean, you're not gonna swing. And there was these two big, big buff motherfuckers. And I guess he swung at one of them. They turn around, look at him. They just bulges. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Fucking hit his ass, dropped him, beat his ass a little bit more, picked him up, put him to crowd surf, kicked him out to the front. When he got to the front, he's all fucked up. And then one of the guys was like, "Hey, bro, that guy's fighting." I was like, that was impressive. That's how you play that situation. Yeah, yeah. Fuck, you take out the guy who's beating with jackass. People show up and beating jackasses and fucking cotton. Yeah, I always identify the problem and take you out. That's one way to do it. Fuck him up, throw him up, crowd surf him out, fight, or they'll walk his ass right up. Tell you maintain the peace. And everybody continues to enjoy their time. Yeah. That's fair. Yep. Fun times. Yeah, yeah. Any other story you don't want to tell? Gar? I can't think any. No. No, I ain't no fun. Who's to have to make some more? Yep. You make some more stories. Go out and have more adventures. That's the way to do it. That's the way to do it. And then you can come back and tell your stories on our... I rode all the way to Big Spring yesterday. Did you? I sure did. And all the way back. And all the way back. On the back roads. On the back roads? I sure did. When you went over there last night, you took the bike? I guess it wasn't that chilly last night, huh? No, it was nice. And I can feel my fingers. Really? It's coming back all the way. Yeah. I'm out to look into that. I don't know if it's just from the twist, isn't it? Hey, have you ever had a whole little orientation? Like just sitting in that position and all sorts of things, factors, but... Yeah, my fingertips go numb. Man, it's a game changer. Like they'll tell you, my fingers will just be white and they just hurt. Frozen. Yeah, now they're just cold. Like, okay, cool. I got heated grips. So I just squeeze a little tighter. It's not a big deal. These two are still slowly coming back right. They still tingle a little bit, but I mean, I still have a feeling back. Yeah. And I'm getting strength back. I can kind of do some of my yoga poses. Nice. Yeah, I'm getting back in the groove of things. Let's come together. Yeah, we went down to San Antonio and I went up to the cabin and they sent the mother, the mother chapter down there sent their prospect up to check on me. And I was in there like doing yoga. My frickin' tone is a shitty walk in. I said, "You shut your fuckin' mouth. We'll tell nobody what you saw up here." Tell you, buddy, what you just seen. I got to the man. I got a stick flexible. Man, I got to do something with my hips. I don't want to go see a doctor. I've seen a doctor. Stretch. It's just not going to help my hips. Yeah, we're fucking falling out. I feel like my hips are just going to fall out of place. Happy humor. It's all in. It's all in the hip. It's all in my hips. Well, you could always come down the house in Mexico and dance with Woody. Yeah, but man, Woody was moving. I see you in this video. Yeah. I'm starting to even see in the videos. You don't even need to be alright. I told him, I said he needed it. He had his hands way out, and he was dancing. He showed brought him in a little bit right here, and he could have did the trunk. Yeah, he go. I probably didn't do any, but that's alright. I had fun. Oh, I can't dance either, bro, so I got to do you there. I'll just wiggle a little bit. Yeah. It's like I'm having a stroke. No, you look like you're having a pretty good time. Yeah, yeah, it sort of looks like to me. Even though you're at one time you were dancing with the wrong girl. That happens from time to time. Yes. And I'm dancing with the county. Dancing with the wrong girl. The other girl didn't get mad at you. The only reason she didn't was because I was her cousin. That's correct. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. And you're not getting far from the tree. And her husband was present too, so. Oh, see. But you haven't seen that video? Woody? No. Look at it. Yeah, that's you. That's freaking embarrassing. Oh, yeah, baby. Obviously, I did not know I was being filmed. That's good share. Oh, it even continues. Check it out. Look at him go. That right there is more my speed. Dancing like that. How can country dance? See, it's not country dance. It's about two stepping. Two stepping, whatever. But you get two steps. I have a step. Yeah. Oh, and that's basically what I did. Yeah, it's just dancing. Almost like a ball. Yeah. It's kind of shuffle. Yeah. Yeah. You take that and you just start. I'll tell you like this. I can get you, since you know how to do that, I can get you to come beyond like 30 seconds. Yeah. I like dancing. Just watch the Nina. No, so if you take, if you kind of take your two step that you do. Right. Two forward, half one back, two forward to the side, two forward back, right. And you just make your direction on that third beat. Something different, right? So you're going forward, forward to go kick out to your right, kick out to your left as you're going, right. By yourself, as long as you're in fucking beat with a song. That's cool. It's all just in your fill. I don't think I can do it myself. You might have to show me. I'm not going to fucking show me. Yeah, I want to see this. I would like to see that myself. That's what we're just talking about. You know, the country is the stories to tell. I'm just digging myself and even. That's going to get you some days. We discussed that too. You know, when you said the digging hole is the only job you start with at the top. Oh, yeah, we talked about that. And then I mentioned, sometimes you dig a hole so deep, you can't get out. It happens. He's going to be shoveling. That could you say shovels shut up and shoot, shoveling, shut up. Shoot, shoveling, shut up. There it is. That could be a good partial episode for your next one. You know, what he learns to dance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, obviously y'all got cameras. They're not on. Oh, okay. Yeah, but they can be yet. Yeah, we're still working on that aspect. Yeah, so you're lucky, but we do have foam cameras. We could just record it on there and post it later. That's a good thing. That's right. I was picking my nose and I'm just kidding. I have to do that constantly because I fucking always congested. I've got to pull them out of there so I can breathe. Yeah, I got to put the same thing. Yeah. Nothing else, man. Nothing else. What are you busy talking to somebody else? Oh, his wife to be. Yeah, it's actually my sunshine. My stepson. Oh, whole different direction. He's going to try to guilt fit me into some boxing gloves and masks. Your stepson already, huh? He's already taken ownership of all that. He calls me that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they know it. You know what that reminds me of, right? It reminds me of, uh, don't be a menace in South Central while drinking your juice. Whatever that lady that he walks up to the fucking, all those kids and she talks to that lady. He's all kids. What do we ask? It's nice, man. Are you my daddy? That's you right there. Yeah, I was just almost like Derek. Just walked up to you and peed on your leg. See, you know, I peed on it now. It's mine. Yeah. That's pretty much what he did. I mean, it's crazy. He's good kid, though. How is he? 14, fishing me 15. 14 was 15, yeah. Ooh, okay. Yeah, so. And he's taking boxing. Right. So I guess his dad won't buy him new gloves. So I don't know if he said he was sad. I don't know if he's trying to guilt trip me. Hmm. Because he, well, you can probably read it. See, I hate that. Because I don't know what iOS is. iOS is, I don't know if he in search of, I mean, hi. That'd be ISO. That's what he put, ISO. In search of. Is that what that is? So is that what he's saying? I don't know. Well, that's. My head's full of. I'm trying to ask my dad. A whole bunch of acronyms. And then I said something about. I was trying to figure out what he was saying. He just forget it. Huh. So he's, I guess he's a little mad. Tell him to scratch his matchbook. But he's also telling me, don't tell him. Don't tell his mom. Oh, but she's already come to me and said if he asked for anything, don't buy him anything. Ask me first. Well, that was probably the automatic knife that you bought the kid. Yeah. Down there at the rally. And she was cool. He said, he said that, uh, ISO means, I didn't get, I said, I'll go. What does that mean? Someone who does something. Oh, so he's saying that he's talking about the dad that actually do something. Me. I guess. Yeah. Someone that does something. All right. So I would have talked, I would have took it as in search of. Maybe he's in search of someone who will do something for him. Yeah, because he put it in there or something about, uh. All right. That's what he said. He's not doing it in English. He usually does it in English. Yeah, because he put it in English pretty play and forget it. Yeah. Now it's cozy. Yeah. Now he's making me work for you. That's why I didn't learn Spanish. Both my parents were fluent, but they talked about us in Spanish, in front of us. So they could discuss things and we had no clue what they're talking about. It's smart. No. No, you don't think it is? I mean, it's very smart, but yeah, I don't, I don't like today. So he said something about that his dad won't buy him, buy him a whatever. And I said, well, maybe he doesn't have the money. Now he says back says, uh, if you have, but you don't want. Oh, yeah, that's, uh, if you have the money, but you don't want to do it. Yeah, but he never asked me for all. Yeah. Well, that's pretty much him telling you that his dad's got the money for him. He just won't do it. Oh, okay. Kind of boxing gloves as he wanted. But yeah, this is news to me. Well, yeah, this size is weight. All kinds of stuff, but I've already been down that road, buying him something and mama was not mad, but not happy. Same overall. I bought him a knife to us. Every boy needs a knife. It's a tool. I grew up with a knife. My girl, guns. So me and Gar talked her into it, got the good knife back. She, I guess she wasn't going to argue was, you know, right there. So as soon as she got home, she took the knife back from him. So the next day we were like, so where's your knife? My mom took it. Yeah. What's okay? Look at the, my boys knives for our wedding day, but they stay here with me. And my youngest surprisingly, he always asks for his, because he wants to carry it on and win his out here. And maybe that's what I can do. Does he need to? I don't know, but yeah, he does. I mean, teach him the right way. Yeah. Yeah, he's the one that wants to play with the axes and be out here chopping up shit. That's what boys do. Yeah, I'll do it. Wait. Well, I'd rather him do it with me watching. So I can at least make sure it's in the correct manner. Instead of like us, we were burning and blowing up stuff. Oh, yeah. I blew a piece of glass into my neck because we had to, we cut off the back of a shotgun shell. You just had the primer, try to hit it with a nail. What's waiting beside it. So it didn't go off. So we still had it again. So I lean back and we hit it again, pop. And I hit everything that was around and it blew it up. And I shot a piece of glass in my neck. And my dad comes running around the house and I'm like, please, like, I should have started. It wasn't like a lot of blood. It wasn't bad, but it looked bad. He was so pissed. So he came around because he heard the shotgun. Yeah, he heard the pop. We're like, what the fucking is this blood just pouring out of my neck. So did you ever use this? Me, my nephew Austin, Joby. And I think Amy Jo is here. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Most of the cousins. Yeah. And then all the adults on the other side of the house drinking beer, right? So we were glad to go off and get rowdy. We had the panakers. So did you ever take shotgun shells, put a stick on it, tape it, and then put it like a marble or some kind of. Oh, we tried. Yeah. Do you tell me that? Chunk it up in the air and then run. The boom sticks. Really? And then, yeah. Full shotgun shell. No shit. Well, I want everything. You just loosen up and. Chunk it and run. And it comes back down, you know, the weight. Yeah. And then that little whatever ball you put on the bottom hits that primer. Perfect. So without a barrel, there's no projectile. I just boom. Okay. So it's more like a small grenade. Yeah. But it's still. I used to set them up on a piece of board and sit back with my BB gun. Oh, that's pretty good. We're going to try that. I got lots of BB guns. I mean, even just taking the primer, getting you a slingshot. You know, it's like those pops. Yeah. You know, just make sure you don't shoot it at a curb. Because it ricocheted back and hit in the stomach. They can't be careful with that back blast. Yeah. Because it's still a fucking bullet. Mm-hmm. Well, it's a rhymer. They're still a burst. Yeah. A combustion with BBs in it. Well, where do you open it up and? My arms was cut off when I did mine. Well, when I'm talking about the slingshot, I'll say we reloaded our own shotgun shots. So we had our own primers. You know, it was just. Oh, you just had the primer. Yeah. We just take the primer. Okay. Slings it back with the ground. It popped. Wow. But the shotgun shot, the boom sticks, what do you think? Yeah. It was full shotgun shot. Yeah, it was full shot for those wad powder. Yeah. It was just explode like a. Yeah. Yeah. It just go off. I mean, there's no, like you said, you got to have that barrel. You got to have a tube. Because if you got me, it's combustion, right? So it's got to be directed. Right. I think it's not. It's just. Yeah, it's just. Yeah. Yeah. Same thing, even when it comes off the barrel, you know, the barrel. 10 feet. I mean, it starts spreading now. It spreads pretty quick. Yeah. And then it goes crazy. Yeah. So. Nope. Never did any of that. In shot. When that was, when that was, uh, we blew up my brother. Really? Cut him on fire. 30 degree burns on the side of his face. His hand. Oh, sure. Yeah. We'll be up to it. We were powerless. He was the one that stopped, dropped and rolled, put out the fire and ran down to my grandmother's house. We were down at our house. We were smoking back there. Your kids, me, my brother, my cousin from Houston. We had a green grass fire going in the backyard. Me and my cousin thought it would be a good idea to go get the gas can for my dad's boat. Out of the shed. Oh, I make the fire bigger. Yeah, I throw fucking. So the wind was blowing towards the fence. We told my brother. Get over here. The wind was blowing that. I'm all right. Okay. We dumped a ton of gas on that thing. It just caught him on fire. The whole time we're laughing, our asses off. Stop laughing. Get down to my grandma's house and my answer. Stop dropping and rolling. They have a sit in front of my grandpa's bed. I mean, so what would you say, you know, after that happened, you know, if you're looking at him, you go, man, that was an awesome Richard Pryor impression. Yeah. But they were like, I can't believe y'all are doing that. You blew your brother up, your cousin. We just started rolling. Yeah, we got lots of trouble. So from the get go as like young young, whenever they bought my first gun and shit like that, like it was drilled into me. This will kill someone. Oh, yeah. You cannot. Mm-hmm. Can't do this. Yeah. So it was always safety, safety, safety. That was, I never would have ever, if someone would have came to me like, hey, do this, this and this, that would have been like, you're fucking crazy. I honestly think you're still fucking crazy. Yeah. Like, it's like. Oh, no, those rules are embedded in my head, but. But fucking outlaw. Is outlaw side of him just always was right. You know where my family comes from. Yeah. That's fucking crazy. Oh my gosh. There's you, the other stories. There's another story right there. Weird. Shit. Shit. And shenanigans. Yeah. Andigans. Yeah. Yeah. That's funny. Fuck man. I'm getting hungry. Yeah. Yep. What do you think? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think we're going to be good, man. I think this is a fun little episode that we got to put together. I like it. I think we're going to get, we're going to try to get together again tomorrow, right? Record one with Zach. I'm not going anywhere. Yeah. We'll get together and see. See if you can. I'm scooter, but that'd be bad. It's going to be cold tomorrow. Maybe not. Is it? It's supposed to be. High like 60. I say cold. Perfect. I say cold. It was 80 today, so. It's going to drop significantly. Whatever. Yeah. It may or may not have it. It starts out at 43. High, 62. That's not. No, that's not terrible. No, it won't be. Longs leave instead of a short, you know. Yeah. Yeah. I was going to be in the switch. I got to hurry. It's on where those gloves were. Nice to come true. It's going to be cold. That tomorrow night's a different story. Tomorrow night says there's going to be the 40s. Calling for 36. Ooh. That means a lot of small for you. The late freeze may have. Yep. We'll go do some ice pit. Do you start to get the drink? Yeah. Start dripping faucets. Well, we'll go ice fishing. I don't want to worry about that. I don't want to worry about that. Yeah. Well, I showed you a picture of that last night. We talked about it. Yeah, it was kind of ironic. They were, you know, Zeke was talking about, about one of the ice fish in Texas. They said, you know what? Done that one. I don't even have the cat shit. I just want to drill a hole in a pond. He's like, he's like, no, no way. No, there's no way. Yeah. Well, you remember that freeze a few years ago? He's talking about driving a truck on his pond and shit. I'm not driving a truck on his pond, but I'll walk out there. I'll drive some. I had eight inches of ice on that stock tank. No shit. During the hard freeze. Yeah. We're knocking holes in that thing. You don't pull in water out of it. So we flush the toilets, you know. Oh, okay. And I got a drinking beard shit. Me and my neighbor were kind of like, well, fuck, we got a hole in there. And they're fishing the pond. Look, let's go fucking fishing. So we could pull out of that motherfucker. Didn't catch shit. Oh, all the catfish down there buried in the boat. Yeah. Yeah. We don't have the fish for that type of water. Yeah. I just wanted to do it. They were burying them. And I want to build a fire and like, have a little tent around me. Oh, yeah. You want, you want in the hole. You want the full experience of ice fish. Ice fish. I don't have to catch a fucking thing. You may need to build it. I just want to do it. A shanty. Yeah, a shanty. Yeah. So we need a plan and trip to go up north so we can go ice fishing. With those little baby ros that they have. Yeah. Point on these big ass fish. Like, how does that little baby ros pull out of 20 pounds? He's on rebar with freakin' 100 pound tests. Has to be. Say, yeah, they're doing some witchcraft right there. Yeah, it's pretty good. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm not a fan of the cold, but I wouldn't mind trying that one day. That'd be kind of cool. I'll try it. Other than that, I'd rather go deep sea in the warmer waters. I think the only person that would be able to fucking do that that likes to do stuff like that is Carl. Oh, yeah. He'd take me. He does a bunch of fishing. He does his own lures and shit too, right? I think so, yeah. That's fucking hilarious. Flour fishing? Yeah. He does his own tiles and all that stuff. It was Texas. It was Texas too. He makes him and sells him, I think, doesn't call him seven. Oh yeah, he's like, "What's that?" We need to get him on here. Talk about that. Yeah. He can teach me. You've been fly fishing, right? Yeah, I like the fly fishing. Have you? I've been. I've never done it. Have you been fly fishing? It's awesome. Numerous times. Really? Yeah. Man, it sounds kind of cool. I want to try it. Sure. A whole lot better than just sitting there. Yeah, it is. Bobbin. How do you know? So, when you went fly fishing? You could drink a lot of beer if you seen him watch him travel, though. Travel. Well, that's the difference between fishing. You know, you either go fishing and have a few beers when you're fishing. Or you go drinking and maybe do a little fishing. Maybe you had those little rub worms, but it still works. Same. We just laid it out there instead of constantly. Yeah, yeah. A fly. So, you went trout. What'd you do? Trout. Trout. Grayling. I haven't fly fish since I left Alaska. Okay. So, I've never been... So, did you live in that? Are igloo? Well, igloo is technically a house, so yeah. But the old tradition means the ice, igloo. Yeah. I was asking that. I forgot to ask you. Oh, yeah. Every time I got off my dog sled... Was it two-story, igloo? It was a two-story, igloo. So, you had like a slide to get outside? Yeah. That's pretty bad. Yeah. Yeah. After I got off and parked my dog sleds. Did you have a dog sled? No, I didn't have a dog sled. Aw, motherfucker. In the wintertime when I was a kid, we'd make little igloo's and shit like that. Okay. Just ride just for the chits and greens. Yeah. So, there was that much snow and ice. Oh, yeah. I believe it. I think it's funny that that's sorry. No, but that's like going out of state. Right? And you're like, oh, you're from Texas? Do you ride a horse to school? Oh, I heard that for all of my military career. Yeah. And I said, you don't have any... I don't see your horns. All these stairs and queers come from Texas and you got a horn. Motherfucker. I'll show you where these horns are at. That hat. We're going to see who the crew is. It's in my pants. Yeah. And you're pulling on this horn. But yeah, we heard a lot of that. But I've met a few people from Alaska. And I was just asking. No, I was just curious, huh? Yeah, I figured it was just the same kind of... Yeah. Jeez. So, I've never gone like river trout fishing where like you're walking the shallow waters and you're fishing to the banks, trying to get the rainbow trout, the brown trout to come out, you know? I learned how to fly fishing in Texas. And you're fly fishing in Texas for a lot of people doing this for a fucking bass. Mashing crop. Yeah. So, my fly fishing experience was like going to... Looking for like... Cover. Cover it where it bashed like to live. And fucking... Just throwing. Putting it in there. Yeah. Learning to be accurate so you can put it in the spot. Right. And just tug tug and wait and see and see if that fucking large mouth comes up and pulls it in. Hmm. They're not the same as trout. Still fly fishing. You still got to manipulate the rod. Yeah. You manipulate the rod, manipulate the fly to get it. Yeah, right. And be accurate. I mean, you made that point. You got to be accurate. Yeah. Throw it where you're aiming. Yeah. Yeah. I wasn't... I'm not... I'm not good enough to be like... I'm not casting along with ways out. If I want to put it somewhere, I got to be pretty close. Well, it just needs a cane pole. Well, how heavy are these things? Like, can they throw them far? The line's weighted. Yeah, the line's weighted. Oh. And you'll put a monofilament leader on the end of it. That's what you attach to the fly. The line itself is weighted. So you can get some good distance on them. Right. But the whole thing is, you got to make sure you got enough room behind you. Or you got to know how to... You can loop them and spin like that. Okay, like I do the mangeta. I'm going to get a movie. Yeah. So you got stuff behind you and stuff. I'm just kind of slinging out there and just roll out. Oh, you're right. Yeah. Okay. That's seeing those... You've been doing it for a little bit if you're doing that shit. Well, I mean, it's... You know, it just takes practice. Lots of practice. That's you? Yeah, that's a Pennsylvania. Oh, shit. They don't allow beards in Pennsylvania. Man, I was off to elementary. Oh. So every day, me and my direction, I'm doing it. This is where we're at. Pardon him. Okay. 'Cause every day, me and my direction, I'll do it or get up. That was my direction. And go fishing? We go fly. He's one of the taught me fly fishing. Oh, that's pretty legit. So no one taught me how to fly fishing. So anything that I know and advise on is fucking wrong. YouTube? I didn't even do that. I just got out there. Yeah, I just got out there and we'll fucking whip it around. That is so cool. That is cool. Did you catch fish? Yeah. Well, then there's no wrong. Well, my techniques were all fucked. So I found that there was a fly fishing association and I lived in San Marcos. And I went one night and they were having a teaching kind of deal. Okay. And the teacher was like, "Who's new to fly fishing? I raise my hand. Like, how long have you been fly fishing?" And I was like, "Man, maybe like two months." It was like, "You're perfect. Let me see your form." And I was just doing this fucking whipping it around, right? Too fast. He was like, "This is absolutely terrible." He was like to me. So he's the one that showed me like, timing with it, right? You're on top and you're to the side, on top and to the side. Like, he showed me all those little things and I just took that and I just took off of it. Well, I mean, that's enough instruction. Yeah. Yeah, I wasn't getting tangled up no more when I was... I was just keeping it, you know, here. Just flinging that muffler up. Yeah. Yeah, so you... That's how it'd be. I'm like, "Yeah, fucking fly." You got to do it. Oh, you're lying out. Get it short and as you're doing that, you're letting more line up. Yeah, you're letting the slack out. 'Cause you're whipping it. That makes sense. I can see the physics behind me. It's fine. I think for me... I don't know if I can do it. I think for me, it's easy. It's like 25, 30 yards is probably about as far out as I can. That's a pretty good cast, I think. It's not bad, but there's people out there that are... I mean, I see... I see fish like 10 feet from me. So I figured if I can cast them that far there, I can just sit there and go... Yeah, you have to do it right there, man. I'm going to fly fishing. I ain't going to cast it too far. So when Christian was little or taking fishing, I would go and fly fish down the banks, right? And he had his little bitty rod. And what I would do is I would put a fat-ass bobber on his little rod. It was just a click. Oh, you're right. Put a fat-ass bobber on it. It was a Zibco 33. Yeah, I would do that. And I would put maybe about a foot of line out from the bobber, and I would tie on a flyfish. Something that was going to float. Because all your flyfishes are different, right? So I'm going to float some of them zenched like that. And then I just tell him, like, cast it out over there, dude. And he would cast it out, and then I was really didn't slow. So then it really just looked like a bug that was on the water. And man, let me tell you. Well, he caught some fish. Dude, he would murder him fucking out of the punch. He would murder perch with that little bitty-ass. Nice. Dad, I got another one. One time he was talking shit to me. He was like, "Dad, I've caught like 50 fish. You've caught none. You don't know how to fish." So, like, he knew this was good. I've done that before. I've caught a bunch of perch with just mayflies and like a stick and string when I was a kid. And my dad, I caught shit tonight. I brought him in. He could throw him on the grill. And we didn't eat him right there. It's pretty cool. I was proud of myself. I had a whole bucket full of perch. And I was just mayflies that were caught in the spider webs on the crappy dock. Mm-hmm. One of the biggest perch I caught was fly fishing. I was going after, I was looking for bass. And I was walking in the water. And there was a fenced area where like, nope, so nobody could get into there. Nobody was fishing on that fucking bank ever. And I was like, "Man, there's got to be some fucking good fishing there." So I got about 20 yards from the bank. And I was just real quick. Boom, and then boom, going, going, going. And I fucking put it in there, and then it hit. Boom. It's like, "Fuck yeah, it's got to be a nice bass." And it was pulling hard. I pulled that fucking goddamn perch out of the water. This was probably like the size of my hand. Oh shit. Like it was a big old search. Right. So I go, and I went to the lake with my grandpa. And I said, "Hey." The total was like, "Hey, you want this fish?" And he looked, and he was like, "Yeah, bring it to me." I took it over there too, and I gave it to him. He was like, "Damn, where'd you get this thing from?" I'm like, "You's over there." - Yeah, he's doing it. - But he has fucking birds. Yeah, fly fishing's fun. - I'm gonna have to try that. - It hurts my shoulders after a while. - But you just need to do more fly fishing. - Yeah. - Yeah. - But look, the mussels. We could do some protein patterns from creatine. - Go see, go do some fly fishing. - Go see, go do some fly fishing. - Hey, there's some hell I should stare at you out there. - Yeah. It's a good time though. You should really do it. - Yeah, I wanna try it. I gotta do some shit. I gotta do something. Keep me busy. - It's, I always, so remember here in December, they're gonna be releasing trout to all the ponds across Texas. And I'll see people out there trying to fly fish for those, for those-- - I'll step in my fly fish or my fly rod. - Yeah. But am I waders? - But they don't, they're in the same boat I was. Like, they have no fucking idea what they're doing. So I just see them out there whipping the shit out of it. And just, I don't like you never gonna catch a trout like that. It's not as-- - When are they doing that? - What? - Doing the release in the trout? - I usually do that in the, what, I think it's December. - December, January? - Yeah, he was like a third, he was third, fourth week in December. - You got your fishing license, so you don't-- - I can do all the things, right? - Yeah, you just go to the-- - You have to have a license? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Oh. - Oh. - We'll just go over there, yo, you can go over there right there. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it's where they release them in big spring. - Yeah. - Yeah. That's why I have my fucking, my light, my, there's a medium light, light medium, something like that. Real tiny rod. - Oh. - I just go out there with a little spoon and just-- Bust 'em up. Hmm. You can catch five a day. - No shit. - Yeah. They're, they're, I mean, don't think like, I mean, we're talking about like maybe-- - Right. - Yeah, it's pan-sized. - Age of tilling is fucking fish. Using a gutted and cooking. - Yeah. That piece does to be cool, though. - Yeah. Rainbow trout. - Let's do it. - Rainbow trout tacos. - There we go. Rainbow trout tacos, yeah. I got glass back for adventure, so I can do that. - That's right. Back for the adventure. [silence] Anyways. Ah, I think we're good, huh? - Yeah. - I'm good. Holly, 'cause I want to be some food. - There you go. - Yeah, I'm good. - We're getting to catch the ground. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I had those when I got here. - Damn, it sucks. - Mm. I don't think we, yeah, we didn't eat lunch. - Well, Gar, thanks for coming out. Hanging out with us, Woody. Thanks for coming out. Yeah, hanging out with us and telling stories and bullshitting around. I told you when I saw you earlier, right? - Yeah. - It's the exact same thing we're going to do.
