Monday Beers Ep.80; Funny Farm

On this week’s episode of Monday Beers Podcast the guys are back at the RNT Calls shop, kicking back and catching up on everything that’s been going on lately.

From recent trips and turkey hunts to new pets around the house, the conversation goes everywhere — including some absolutely wild dreams that probably should’ve stayed asleep. It’s the kind of unfiltered, off-the-rails episode that feels like sitting in the shop after hours with a cold beer in hand.

No script, no agenda — just stories, laughs, and whatever comes to mind. Crack one open and hang out with the guys. 🍻

SPEAKER_02 0:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 0:00

Thanks. Way to go, Jackson. Way to go. Way to me. Way to go. It's always an idea. Actually, I don't know that anyone had an idea.

SPEAKER_05 0:11

I thought it was great.

SPEAKER_03 0:13

We kept forgetting to do it. Yeah, we did. Like our goal was I think we planned on doing it on Friday.

SPEAKER_04 0:20

And that didn't happen. And that didn't happen. Because the beer drinking happened.

SPEAKER_03 0:24

Well, not really that. Like we hunted. So we hunted obviously in the morning. And then got done somewhere around 9 30, 10 o'clock, we'd come back and cook and eat breakfast. May take a little nap and then back to the woods.

SPEAKER_04 0:40

I know I I don't take naps, so I mean I was like, I'm a nap. Well we heard we heard Trey took a nap.

SPEAKER_03 0:48

I took a little siesta. Yeah, yeah. It was it was actually really nice till that sun started heating up my face. That's what woke me up. But it was much needed.

SPEAKER_05 1:00

Yeah, so okay, so catch us up. So we obviously uh the last uh podcast everybody heard was actually from y'all over in Mississippi with our good friends over there. And uh but we don't know how y'all's hunting ended up, and then you actually went back this past weekend.

SPEAKER_04 1:16

So uh boy man that bird is the turkey bird. Yeah, the turkey bird, man. I I haven't killed anything.

SPEAKER_03 1:28

Oh well, so I I keep coming across this these videos that say can't wait to get outsmarted by a bird with the brain the size of a pea or a walnut or whatever it says. And I was like, you know, I don't know that any of us necessarily got outsmarted.

SPEAKER_04 1:48

Yeah, we just got like the thing was the focus there?

SPEAKER_05 1:54

Was the focus there? Like, were you in the game? Oh, yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:58

Yeah, big time. Big time. Hell, I mean, like, it's just this was the uh the story last weekend was the same. I just had uh the I guess the weekend before, whatever. Same one. I just had this like just a hen would get in between us. And like like Sunday morning before I left this past trip, uh, we literally went out, got out there, had no idea. We had roosted, me and Perry had roosted a bird, and we let Forrest and the other guys go hunt that one. And man, Perry were like, we'll just we'll just go behind the house and just we hear something great. If we don't, you know, I mean, sat for a little while, hang out, figure it out. Cause I mean, I I came back pretty I got back into town at like 1215, 1230 Sunday. So I mean I didn't hang around just super long or anything. But we go back there and it's just like we you know, we just hoot one time and it was like I was like, oh shit. I was like, he's close. So we we take off in his direction a little bit, probably 250 yards, I'd say. Not a ton. He really wasn't all that far. Probably got a 150, 200 yards from him, and he just constantly just pa. He was hammering it. I mean, would not shut up. He was just hammering it, and then damn um, just a hen. Then we hear a fly down, and then we hear bah bah bah I was like, son of a bitch, man. Another hen, dude. I was like, every single time it's a hen that's getting in between. So I'm thinking within the next week or two, especially over there, it'll get it'll get better. Because see, here's the thing. Around the it's there's people killing them in Mississippi, and I mean, I'm uh, you know, it just it's one of those deals. So just in that area. That area, they're just so hard to kill.

SPEAKER_05 3:58

Let's go because we're gonna roll after this. Let's go ahead and do intro. Hey guys, thank y'all for tuning back in. We're kind of rolling on from their last episode since it was a little bit different, and had Jackson and Trey on that one with our friends over there in Mississippi. So I want to catch up on some of the stuff they talked about. Uh we got John over in the corner. He's uh painting away at some of his uh custom turn calls. He's trying to try to get the work done. He's trying to keep us all employed. But that's a challenge. But yeah, so uh hey y'all, thank you all for tuning in. We're gonna roll on with the conversation right after this intro.

SPEAKER_06 4:58

Monday.

SPEAKER_05 5:20

What are you working on over there, Joe?

SPEAKER_01 5:23

Man, I'm working on um some calls actually. Um trying to get some done for um some events coming up. Um we got one that I finished up last time that's on auction, um, which actually will be finishing up probably when this airs. Yeah, probably so, yeah, yeah. But just trying to do some special things for man, we got the small batch bash coming up, um collapalooza coming up. So just trying to I'm not gonna say getting ahead, just trying not to get too far behind.

SPEAKER_03 5:52

What's the dates on that again?

SPEAKER_01 5:54

Do not do numbers. All right.

SPEAKER_05 5:56

We do have some spots available still on bash, so I do want to be able to do that. Actually, I do know that one.

SPEAKER_01 6:02

That's April 17th, yeah, I think, that weekend. And then May. Oh, that's not far.

SPEAKER_05 6:06

Colapalooza is May 28th through 30th.

SPEAKER_01 6:09

Yeah, so we do have some spots left on um Small Bat Batch. Small batch bash. And um, if you don't know anything about it, it's it's a pretty cool event. If you're into call collecting, or even if you're not, you want to get into it with our small batches. We've started this event to where um you get to be a part of the design process. So when you come in on Friday night, we have like a little welcome party, crawfish bowl, and everybody just kind of gets to know each other. The next day you get here and we do a design shred pretty much through the day on designing one call that we're gonna build that day, and then kind of get the concept for what we're gonna do all the rest of the 12 batches for the rest of the year. We won't have every idea uh sketched out, but we'll kind of have a concept. And so um you kind of get to be involved and see the design process, and then whatever we when we pick out the wood and how we're gonna do it, then we come into my shop and I make it by hand that day.

SPEAKER_05 6:59

We actually make a prototype.

SPEAKER_01 7:00

Yeah, we make the prototype that day, and they have their you have your input in it the whole day. Then we take a little bit of a break, come back that night for dinner here at the shop, drinks, and then we have a small, we call it the RT private uh reserve auction where we have just some one-offs and different stuff uh there for collectors. So it's it's a really fun event. It's really uh I hate to use the word intimate because I don't want to get Jackson aroused, but uh it's you know, it's kind of uh it's just a small where you can talk and visit and and um interact with each other and and you know if you if you want to be involved in any of that small batch, it's it's a pretty cool deal.

SPEAKER_05 7:37

Yeah, yeah, a lot of the people that come to they really enjoy it because it's a very one-on-one experience. They actually get to put their input in and it's a very small group, so yeah, and they get to kind of see how we come up with the ideas, and you know, Emily's usually here.

SPEAKER_01 7:50

Uh, she had to leave, I think, early last year, but uh Colton's here. You know, different people that are involved with that, so it's a it's a fun deal. Yeah, that's a lot of fun. So, how about the Mississippi State Bulldogs?

SPEAKER_04 8:02

I'm not saying nothing. Okay, all right, cool, cool. Cool, cool, cool. Well, you know, I I was just over there this past weekend while y'all were playing Omeas. And like I was too. You know, I was in Oxford. Were you really?

SPEAKER_01 8:15

Yeah, I was at a wedding for uh Anna Kate Stratton. Oh, I didn't know that. Hildebrand at Stratton. Yeah, okay, I didn't know that. Yeah, and I I did want to go to the game, but I didn't. We actually didn't go till Saturday.

SPEAKER_04 8:26

We thought about we thought about trying to get tickets, but we were like, you know, I mean we were there for hunting, you know.

SPEAKER_01 8:33

So here's the deal, too. I mean, if you go to Arkansas, an old miss or a state game, the fan bases are so big it's hard to get a ticket. Yeah, if you're away game. Yeah, and that's what we we looked at, we would have to pay more than$40 to sit out in general admission. I mean, you know. Just to hang out, you could get beat up if you're on the focusing track. So, I mean, you know, it's probably not worth it. Nah. We said we just watch it from the confines of our home.

SPEAKER_04 8:59

But uh we uh we were sitting there and like uh I was like, yeah, you know, uh I was like, yeah, who do y'all play this week? And they were like, Mississippi State. And I was like, oh I was like, oh, big game weekend right here, you know. They were like, yeah, I was like, well, we'll shoot y'all straight. I mean, yeah, y'all can kick me out if you want to for saying this, but I was like, I think Mississippi State's gonna get y'all on the series, man. And like, and they went down one and down another, and I was like, I was like, oof, swept. I was like, hey. Arkansas got swept. Yeah. I mean, so I can't say shoot. SEC's tough, man. It is so tough. But I mean, Arkansas's not looking the best to start out with.

SPEAKER_01 9:44

That might actually work out good for you. Because usually y'all come out of gates strong. Right. So, right.

SPEAKER_04 9:48

I mean, who knows? And then we end up choking at the end of the year every year in the College World Series. Never know.

SPEAKER_01 9:54

I mean, it's a legit choke.

SPEAKER_04 9:56

You gotta get you gotta get hot at the right time. A peewee choke. I don't think I'll ever forget dropping that ball.

SPEAKER_05 10:03

Like, what the hell were we?

SPEAKER_04 10:05

I don't I don't think any Arkansas fan will ever forget the dropping the ball. Throwing it to the wrong place. Yeah, there were three mistakes. Well, that was there, we talked about shatty. Yeah. Yeah, that one that one was tough to watch. Like, that was 2018? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:21

Something like that.

SPEAKER_04 10:22

Yeah, it was 2018, 2019. Oh, dude. Shit. I mean, that's like that's like the biggest what if ever. I mean, other it and well, I said the game was over. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01 10:36

So it wasn't really a what if, but like I didn't realize it was in 2018. Now I know who was responsible for COVID. Y'all felt so bad y'all started COVID. There it is. So nobody could play baseball for a couple weeks.

SPEAKER_04 10:50

They didn't actually cancel sports, did they? Uh they canceled it.

SPEAKER_01 10:56

Yeah, maybe one of those years they didn't. We played a couple games and then they canceled the rest of it.

SPEAKER_02 11:00

Yeah, I think college level baseball, I don't know, but football they played.

SPEAKER_01 11:04

I think like maybe like major league stuff or like well it was a it was a timing because that when it hit in 2019 with spring, we didn't really know what was going on. Everybody was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why it's COVID 19, you know, because of the year. And then come around in football, they kind of got a plan. Yeah, but everybody was freaked out about it.

SPEAKER_04 11:20

That's right, it was 2019 when it actually like started and shit. I forgot all about that, yeah. I don't remember nothing. That was just wild.

SPEAKER_05 11:28

I was working on the farm at that time.

SPEAKER_04 11:30

It was just like that was a legit wild time, like just how crazy the world was then. Like, I mean frick.

SPEAKER_02 11:40

I mean Oh, I remember whenever it happened, it was like I was in this my senior year of college. And everybody was like, because Monticello was one of the first schools to shut down because of the nurses in uh the I guess nursing program. They were at JRMC whenever the first outbreak in Arkansas happened. Oh shit. So yeah, and m two of my neighbors were there, like right that lived right across the apartment from me. Yeah. And so everybody was like, ooh, COVID, you know, we get out of school for two weeks. Nope, fuck that. Not two weeks, a little bit longer than two weeks.

SPEAKER_04 12:13

Yeah, I I really wondered how all that actually worked, because like everything went to online.

SPEAKER_02 12:18

It was almost you can ask him.

SPEAKER_05 12:20

So did it prolong your graduation?

SPEAKER_02 12:22

No, I graduated in 2020. Same time. Yeah. Could you well, and so, you know, Monticello, the two teachers that we have, you know, it's all in-house classes. You know, like we don't have anything online. Could you imagine two 70-year-old professors trying to figure out how to do online classes the rest of the school year?

SPEAKER_03 12:37

That's tough.

SPEAKER_02 12:38

That's tough. So it was a breeze for us. I mean they just gave us homework and was like, here, you know, figure it out. Hopefully you got it. Yeah. Teach yourself. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:49

So I'm there, bud. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:53

Did you get your so are you technically a professor if you had to teach yourself everything?

SPEAKER_02 12:58

I mean, we didn't have to teach ourselves. Like they they gave us the slides, but and then they gave us the homework, but like we didn't have like any official online classes. Like it was just do your work, turn it in. Do you have your masters?

SPEAKER_04 13:11

No.

SPEAKER_02 13:12

Do you?

SPEAKER_04 13:13

No. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 13:16

It depends on what you ask for your degree. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:19

And what specifically are you referring to? But in a college degree, no.

SPEAKER_02 13:22

I could have I almost had my double major in ag business and plant social science, but okay. I didn't want to stay another semester. Yeah. Well, I did, but then COVID screwed up.

SPEAKER_04 13:32

My cousin Robin, she she went to something similar to your school and she got her master's. She was like, I think I'm gonna do my doctorate. I was like, why? Yeah. But I mean, do do whatever you want. I was like, are you gonna go teach? She was like, nah. Some people like making a career of school. I mean, I mean she's working for Horizon Ag now, I think, or something like that up in around Jonesboro area.

SPEAKER_02 13:54

So in the AG, you don't necessarily have to be a teacher though. I mean, you get your PhD.

SPEAKER_04 13:59

Well, like if she ever wanted to go work for the state again or like the the the college again, she could, you know, she'd have to be a doctor to like teach and everything else. Because I'm pretty sure pretty sure to be a professor, you have to have your doctorate.

SPEAKER_02 14:13

Well, if you're at a junior college, you only have to have a master's.

SPEAKER_04 14:16

That checks out.

SPEAKER_02 14:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 14:19

Checks the fuck out. Yeah. Absolutely. That makes sense. Pretty positive.

SPEAKER_02 14:25

Like PCC, you don't have to have. Yeah. You couldn't pass PCC, so what's the problem?

SPEAKER_04 14:32

I did pass PCC.

SPEAKER_02 14:33

No, anybody he went to like half the schools in the state.

SPEAKER_00 14:36

Hey, forward, I had to jump back over the state.

SPEAKER_03 14:38

So uh anybody preparing to go to college, here's our two cents.

SPEAKER_04 14:43

Um not a fan of Jones Burrow. Not I just like it's not like Jackson's been to everyone in the state. Uh didn't go to Monticello. No. Didn't go to Little Rock. Yeah. I went to three different.

SPEAKER_03 14:59

Yeah, John came to talk and he's talking about what a couple of things. John's like, I'm leaving. I'm I'm tired of y'all. And he's got to put it.

SPEAKER_05 15:05

He's gotta put another coat on. One more coat.

SPEAKER_03 15:10

Anyways, because you and the sip, that was my favorite. Yeah, that was my favorite moment. Jackson, we were sitting on the back porch. Oh, dude. And we're watching it old. Jackson just he's he's got a video. He was videoing. Yeah. Why are we watching old piss? Yeah, hold on. Let me pull.

SPEAKER_05 15:32

You're in a household. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:35

P-Row was sitting right in front of me.

SPEAKER_04 15:38

Here's the video.

unknown 15:40

There's another five.

SPEAKER_04 15:45

How the fuck are we watching Ole Miss Baseball? You didn't see it, motherfucker.

SPEAKER_03 15:53

P-Row, but I wish I could see the look on his face was just pure disgust. Like, I can't believe you just said that. It was the greatest.

SPEAKER_02 16:03

That's a fighting term, but 100% it was. 100%.

SPEAKER_03 16:09

Jackson almost got kicked out, wasn't allowed to hunt, sleep outside. Oh, that's hilarious, man.

SPEAKER_04 16:16

The way he looked at me was just like it was great. Like trace of pure disgust.

SPEAKER_03 16:24

Did he just really say that? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 16:27

It was almost like, did he just shit his drawers right next to me? Like it was like how he looked at me.

SPEAKER_02 16:33

I feel like you have been all day, haven't you?

SPEAKER_03 16:38

No, Mississippi. I don't know. They say you learn a lot more when you don't kill than when you do kill.

SPEAKER_05 16:48

Because you probably question a lot of the things that happen.

SPEAKER_03 16:50

Well, I mean, I feel like I definitely learned a lot on that trip. Like, I mean, there was a moment that first morning, of course, it was me, it was me, A-Rod, and Forrest on that first morning. And of course, A-rod was lead gunman. And had one fire up. I mean, we gotta we gotta get him on one. And he's he's he's mad at him, let me tell you. Um but so we had one on the owl hoot, he never fired off. We had had him firing off to our left, to our right, every which way around us. But the one that we ended up calling up never answered to an owl hoot. Didn't answer to a mouth call, didn't answer to anything. Whenever Forrest got on that slate, I mean, when he hit, he was 40 yards in front of us at the bottom of a hill ravine. Yeah. And he walked up on the other ridge, Forrest could see him, I couldn't see him at that point. And he worked his way across and he was coming up our side. Forrest, he's coming, he's coming. Hey Rod, get ready. And he poked his head up for maybe three seconds. I mean, stuck his head up there, of course we didn't have a decoy out. We knew we should have. But stuck his head up there, didn't see anything, and went right back down and started hitting on him again, and he was he was working his way back, but once a hen fired up on the other ridge, one that he could see, and she was coming towards him, and it it was over. I don't I don't I don't think we ever could have convinced him that this is.

SPEAKER_04 18:47

Yeah, it's kind of how that went.

SPEAKER_03 18:49

This girl's coming to me, you just hanging out over there. I'm not gonna play.

SPEAKER_05 18:55

So there was one thing y'all were talking about that uh a hen flew down right next to y'all.

SPEAKER_03 19:02

No, didn't fly down right next to us, set in the trees directly above us.

SPEAKER_04 19:07

Well, she flew. Well, they all flew down, then she flew up, and then she flew up in a tree like right behind us, and then she flew to the tree right above us. So, but why is that bad? Would that not attract a choice?

SPEAKER_03 19:21

She is sitting up there staring down and looking for something wrong. I I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 19:27

I've never had it happen to me before.

SPEAKER_05 19:29

So I was my butt y'all were like, y'all were talking about wanting her gone, and I'm like, well, wouldn't that be an attractive three yards?

SPEAKER_03 19:36

If she'd have flown down and got out in front of us where we needed her to be instead of sitting above us looking straight down on us and picking and trying to trying to call out our location, so to speak, then yes. And that's the only that's probably the only reason we sat there that long is hoping that would happen. But what it what it was, man, they were I'm I'm not good at it, but he caught it putting or whatever. Like she she saw something wrong, and so she was she was kind of telling everybody. Well, she never came down. I mean, he hit the fly down cackle and she flew in, and like I heard wings coming behind me. Yeah, so we were like just froze.

SPEAKER_05 20:19

But it was a hen coming through.

SPEAKER_03 20:20

It was a hen, yeah. And she sat down in a tree, and then she hopped trees closer to where we were sitting, and just sat up there for 45 minutes. I'm telling you, the only place, of course, you're so covered up, the only place I was really getting bit by mosquitoes was all around my eyes. We were just I didn't want like my forehead, my nose, like I have mosquitoes sitting in between my eyes, and I was just sitting there, I was like, I can't move. That's the reason why I don't care nothing.

SPEAKER_05 20:48

I can't deal with that shit.

SPEAKER_04 20:49

I was just I was just like the whole time. Like, I mean, they were because we couldn't move or nothing, and then she finally put it, and I was like, all right, cool, but we ain't gotta worry about this shit no more. Like, I I mean, like, obviously I want to kill, but we did have a we did have a uh mojo out, the the um a mojo. B mobile. Yeah, the B mobile. So it actually flaps wings? No, not a mob. I I don't I meant to say B mobile.

SPEAKER_03 21:17

It sits on a peg, and I mean if the wind blows it will be.

SPEAKER_04 21:21

Oh, it's it's a it's like a full body. Yeah, it's a waterfile terms, it's a full body. Yeah, with with a fan on it and stuff. And it was just sitting there, you know, kind of turning here and there, and she would just every now and then she's it's crazy when you tell me. And it wasn't doing it wasn't coming up to her, and I was like, Whoa, time out here, aren't you supposed to go to him? You know, I mean, like, hey girl, like woo. Is that how it works?

SPEAKER_05 21:49

Yeah, they go to the hens go to the gobblers and why is the gobblers why are you attracting attracting?

SPEAKER_03 21:56

Well, he's gonna work his way towards you. He'll work your way, but he's not gonna run.

SPEAKER_05 22:00

But he's going to skirt the edge and be all discreet.

SPEAKER_04 22:03

I'm telling you, the best way that I've really found that it works is to have somebody calling, you know, a hundred or so yards behind you, and you be in the middle of you and that bird and that person. You have a person sitting in the body. Fuck if I know.

SPEAKER_05 22:24

Because I feel like all the males have the color in birds, correct? I think for the most part, there's probably some that maybe a female has a color because I don't know all the birds. But but even a like a a mallard Drake still approaches the hen when he's ready. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:44

Well, I mean, and so ready. But you also think about it. Every call that we use imitates the female.

SPEAKER_05 23:00

True. So he but he's coming to find a female. But they're more aggressive with it. I think I think so a turkey's not as aggressive with it.

SPEAKER_03 23:07

I think he's with a courtship. Close enough to where she can see him and expects her to be the rest of the children.

SPEAKER_05 23:12

So turkey are more of a courtship instead of a you know like a dance.

SPEAKER_04 23:16

Until after they get done, and then she runs off to be a single mom.

SPEAKER_03 23:20

I mean we know Jackson.

SPEAKER_04 23:22

So they don't they don't they don't mate for life. No God no. Uh uh. Not a turkey. No, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03 23:30

Like they're yeah, they're like deer.

SPEAKER_04 23:32

Yeah, no, they they uh no, they get theirs and then they're gone. I mean, yeah, and they run off to raise kids all by themselves. Still won't understand that for as long as they live. But hey, that's the animal kingdom for you. It's full of mysteries. Yeah, this is true. But I mean, yeah, it was a really good time.

SPEAKER_05 23:50

I think, okay, if you think about it, would you want that big old Tom with the fan and everything around the little pulse while they're raising them? Because he just sticks out like a sore thumb.

SPEAKER_03 24:02

Nah, you got a point there.

SPEAKER_05 24:04

But the hen doesn't stick out as much.

SPEAKER_04 24:06

Well, as long as the fan's not up a turkey. Not to say that I think I'm thinking the way God thinks. I'm just I'm just throwing an idea out there. No, I mean, if you look through woods and stuff and a turkey's not fanned up, hell, even if he is, it's still pretty hard to see a turkey. Because I mean they're black, they they just look like wax silhouette.

SPEAKER_05 24:30

What is it? Uh the rios or something, they're all colorful or uh the osseos.

SPEAKER_04 24:36

I was about to I was gonna say osseo and then I said rios, but but I mean then there's like Miriams. They're they got the white tips, you know. They look all frosted up like a kid from the 2000s.

SPEAKER_05 24:46

Those are like a lot of them that you see like tame turkeys. They look like eastern, but then they got white tips or something.

SPEAKER_04 24:52

Yeah, kind of, kind of, yeah, so to speak, yeah. Because I mean, like the the easters, they have they have more like brown on theirs, on their fans and stuff. And then there's gold, there's eastern ghouls, osceolas, and mirium. And then down south, or I say that when I say down south, I mean like Mexico, there's oscillated.

SPEAKER_02 25:15

And then there's a there's yeah, those ones look like a damn peacock, right? Yeah, yeah, they look like a peacock. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 25:23

And they sound completely, their gobble sounds completely different. Like what is it?

SPEAKER_05 25:27

More like a damn uh peacock or something.

SPEAKER_04 25:31

Man, it's best thing I can do is just play it.

SPEAKER_03 25:34

I mean, it is it is amazing at how big those birds look versus what they actually are.

SPEAKER_00 25:41

That is crazy. It looks like a peacock. Yeah, yeah. Like a fat peacock. Peacock and fat peacock.

SPEAKER_02 25:47

It's definitely different for sure. But yeah, they're pretty. I just wanted you to.

SPEAKER_05 25:56

I mean, turkeys are very interesting to me. I just honestly, I think I've stayed away from it because I feel like I'll get you you that sounds like a dinosaur. Does it not?

SPEAKER_03 26:10

Yeah, it does.

SPEAKER_05 26:10

Like all the dinosaur movies, there's always that sound like that.

SPEAKER_07 26:20

Yeah, that's Jurassic Park.

SPEAKER_04 26:22

It sounds like some kind of it's completely different than like a regular turkey.

SPEAKER_05 26:27

Oh, you know what I mean? Which I always kind of thought dinosaur like turkeys were a predecessory to some kind of dinosaur.

SPEAKER_03 26:36

Chickens are dinosaurs.

SPEAKER_04 26:37

Yeah, I mean, they're it's all they were around in the dinosaur age.

SPEAKER_02 26:41

Ever seen a shoe bill stork before?

SPEAKER_04 26:43

I haven't.

SPEAKER_02 26:45

Look one up.

SPEAKER_04 26:46

Oh, I know what they look like. I've never like seen one at all. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:50

No shit. I didn't know what the fuck you were asking me about. It just looks like the last living prehistoric animal. Oh, yeah. I don't know. What about a platypus?

SPEAKER_04 27:00

They still exist. Yes, they still exist.

SPEAKER_05 27:03

I don't know. Jesus Christ, this room, right? What I was saying is, like, I think turkeys are fascinating, but I I feel like I would get addicted to it if I actually landed my. It's addiction.

SPEAKER_04 27:16

I mean, I've been there for two weekends in a row, and um taking this weekend off. It's my little sister's um birthday Thursday, so we're gonna have a little party for her Saturday. So I mean uh why does it carry that?

unknown 27:29

What is it?

SPEAKER_02 27:30

Like I said, it's the shoe bill store. I mean, they look mean as shit.

SPEAKER_00 27:34

Dude carries a bill that's the size of his body.

SPEAKER_03 27:38

Maybe it's hollow. It's it's definitely something. I don't I don't know how exactly to describe it. Like just the sense of being out there on an early like I've been on a turkey hunt that I remember with some friends of mine.

SPEAKER_05 27:55

And oh, it was heart pounding. I wasn't even shooting, I was just filming, and yeah, it was you know the old deer thump you get. Yeah, yeah. I had that for the guy that was I wasn't even shooting, I was just filming, and my heart was racing.

SPEAKER_04 28:09

I was like, No, 100% that's how it is.

SPEAKER_03 28:13

The whole which I think I think I can speak for all of us whenever like this time of year, getting up early in the morning, that nice crisp morning, when it's a little foggy, dew's kind of heavy, it's a crisp morning, but it's not too cold. And like there's just something about the air.

SPEAKER_04 28:31

Yeah, shit. This this past Saturday morning, I it was it was cold. Yeah, it was or not, yeah. Saturday and Sunday, it was cold. Sunday was real cold.

SPEAKER_02 28:41

Would you rather kill though a 200-inch deer or a turkey? One turkey? Well, I mean, or like probably the biggest turkey that you'll ever kill. Yeah, it's a tough question. Let's make this a little more practical.

SPEAKER_05 28:55

200? Let's make it more practical, like 150-inch door. Well, I want 70, 180.

SPEAKER_03 29:01

170.

SPEAKER_05 29:03

170 is still pretty big at the time.

SPEAKER_04 29:05

That's a big deer. Yeah. I'd probably take the deer.

SPEAKER_02 29:09

I would too. Yeah, but I mean which I don't turke you.

SPEAKER_04 29:11

But if you say like a 200-inch deer compared, because like I'm pretty sure they asked this question at NWT. It was like 200-inch deer or a grand slam. I think that's more appropriate. That's more I'm taking the grand slam. Personally, I am. I I know. I know a lot of deer hunters out there, especially like you, Trey, you're a big deer hunter. You're gonna take the 200-inch deer, I'm sure.

SPEAKER_05 29:34

For me, it's like, okay, if I owned a farm over there, then I would be invested in it. Yeah. So I would say the deer because I know I might have a shot at that on one of our properties. Right. So it it's like I I don't know. I fixated on producing stuff. You're probably the same way. Like you hunt mostly your farm. So you're what was the question?

SPEAKER_04 29:57

About like either killing turkeys or deer. Would you would you rather kill a 200-inch white-tailed deer or a turkey grand slam?

SPEAKER_01 30:06

Grand slam, because you got more opportunities to go hunting. That's true. I like that. I mean, I would suggest that's my thing. You can take off work more. I mean, yeah. Well, I say that you can take it. Well, I say that you're gonna have to hunt a lot to kill 200 inch deer, so yeah. That's true, but you're uh your success success, I would think, with doing it. It would definitely be cool because you get to travel and do a lot of different stuff.

SPEAKER_05 30:28

I would say the grand slam, the grand slam is probably easier to achieve. You don't think so? Absolutely not.

SPEAKER_01 30:37

I say they're both hard.

SPEAKER_05 30:39

Really?

SPEAKER_04 30:40

Okay, are we talking are we talking about okay, here's one season.

SPEAKER_05 30:43

One season. One season. One and done. You know, you hop around different places and get all the different kinds of turkeys. Yeah. Which I know it's hard. I know it's hard. Okay, look.

SPEAKER_04 30:54

You could go to a high fence ranch and kill a two in an inch white tail.

SPEAKER_05 30:58

Okay, okay, okay, but what's the what's the price range on that hunt versus a turkey hunt?

SPEAKER_04 31:03

Uh big difference. Oh, yeah. Exactly. Exactly.

SPEAKER_05 31:06

So that you also throw in money in that scenario. You know, it can be paying pay.

SPEAKER_02 31:11

It could be the same thing, though, because you could.

SPEAKER_04 31:13

You just talk about a wild range white tail.

SPEAKER_02 31:16

But but what I'm saying is, I mean, you can spend as just as well, I'm sure not more. I'm not talking about going to high-pence. I feel like going to deer do you think the same thing as you do for a 200. But what I'm saying though is if you had one season, I mean you can still travel like you would go kill your grand slam. Like you just have to be in one spot. Oh. Yeah. I mean, you still travel, like John said, you know.

SPEAKER_03 31:40

I I'll take the Grand Slam. Yeah. I mean, I've never killed a turkey. For one. I've killed a deer. I've never killed a 200 inch.

SPEAKER_05 31:52

Element? Yeah, like my like what I know, right? So, like that one time that there was I hate telling this story because it just it fires me up and I know it'll fire up other people. Like, all right. In the m just outside of Stuttgart, where I used to live, there was a hen turkey nesting in an implement right behind my house. Yeah. My old house I used to live in. And then my dog got out. I where I I saw the turkey walking around the implement, and then I realized there was a nest in it. So a few days go by, forget all about the nest, wasn't thinking about it, let the dog out. What did my dog do? Go straight towards that nest, and that was the only time I was fascinated with turkeys because it was there on my place. I was like, oh, this is freaking badass. We're gonna have some turkeys to hunt. Yeah. But that's the that's where my mind goes. I like seeing what my known area will produce. Right. You know, well, here's here's the thing.

SPEAKER_04 32:49

Down there, like where we live, Colton, or especially where your old house used to be, coming off that bow, you you never really know what's gonna walk up. Yeah, it's gonna hit the red. That's what I'm saying. I mean, you can know kind of what's around there, but I mean, there's liable to be a 200-inch deer come out of any given time. There's liable to be three gobblers standing in your front yard tomorrow.

SPEAKER_05 33:12

We saw, well, we don't know the actual score. Do we know the end score of uh Pierces? Yeah, yeah. Is it over 199? I think it was. I thought it was I w I thought it went up higher than his original score. I thought it was two. His original score is 191 something. Uh I heard two.

SPEAKER_03 33:30

Official score. The official score was below two.

SPEAKER_05 33:32

When they scored it after he shot it, original on his post was 191 point something. Yeah. And then they said it they thought it would be higher. I just didn't know if we knew that number. But it may be low. It may have been looking. But that that was only five, well, less than five miles north of that place.

SPEAKER_04 33:51

Yeah, I mean, this that he kierce killed that deer opening afternoon of gun season this past year. Yeah. Gosh, I remember when that happened. Dude, like we were all at Derek Fletch's wedding, and I was just like, dang, look. And then Jay was there and I was like, I can't believe Pierce killed that deer, you know? And he was like, Yeah, the deer fucking.

SPEAKER_05 34:16

I saw him at Gumbo, and that was the only thing I said to him. I said, I bet you on Cloud Nine, aren't you? He's like, I'm still on Cloud Nine. I said, I would be too, man.

SPEAKER_04 34:23

I would be too. But to kill a grand sand would probably be my pick. Just because I I mean, you get to trap, like, you'd be able to go to you'd go to Florida, then you could hit, you know, all any state that you really wanted to for Easterns, and which is most commonly known. So, I mean, obviously us, Arkansas. And then you could hit like uh the Pacific Call guys up there in like uh Idaho is where they're technically out of, but like it's like two or three miles from Washington. That's be a Miriam there, I'm pretty sure. And then Texas Rio, and then you can kill a gold in like I think it's like Arizona, New Mexico area, possibly. And then if you want to go to the super grand slam, it'd be killing the oscillated two down in Mexico.

SPEAKER_03 35:09

Here's here's my thing with turkey. And Jimbo is actually the first one that said this to me. And it makes a lot of sense. I know you love hunting ducks and geese and calling them in and getting on to work in. You enjoy deer hunting.

SPEAKER_05 35:29

Well, I would I would love deer hunting too if I took the time to do it. And I was doing it on my property.

SPEAKER_03 35:34

So you know that take those two and mix them together.

SPEAKER_05 35:38

Yeah, I could see that. Yeah, because from the time that I went, I could see that in the city.

SPEAKER_03 35:46

I mentioned something about it. He said, I know you love duck hunting, I know you love deer hunting. You're gonna be addicted to this too.

SPEAKER_04 35:54

I've learned less is more turkey hunting, though. As far as calling and stuff. But deer hunting is a lot of things.

SPEAKER_03 36:00

In certain aspects.

SPEAKER_04 36:01

In certain aspects, it it definitely depends on the situation a hundred percent.

SPEAKER_05 36:06

But like I guess I guess you can feed, but I guess you could in area, certain areas feed turkey. But we uh we covered that on a podcast. You can't hunt over the bait, but it's not illegal to question our next game warden uh Troy Von.

SPEAKER_03 36:26

It's not illegal to have your feeder still running and hunt. You can't hunt with so far.

SPEAKER_04 36:32

It's on AGFC's website if anybody's gonna be hunting turkeys around here for the advice from us. Yeah, for the legality. Do not take advice from us.

SPEAKER_03 36:40

Do what you want.

SPEAKER_04 36:41

Pierce was I mean, yeah, we can't control anybody doing what they want.

SPEAKER_02 36:46

Do what you want. 190 and 68s.

SPEAKER_04 36:48

190 and 68 is the legal score of it. That was still intensive. Yeah, freaking impressive. God, that deer was fucking massive. It looked like a freaking impressive score.

SPEAKER_03 36:57

Especially, I mean it was. It was a hundred monster, but like his body.

SPEAKER_04 37:02

Yeah. Oh my god. That's old deer. Old deer. Old deer.

SPEAKER_03 37:05

I mean, but if you look or uh I mean, other places are a lot different, but around here, a hundred and fifty-inch deer is a big deer. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 37:13

They're usually 200-pound freaking deer, like they're like cows. I mean it's just the way they eat around here.

SPEAKER_03 37:23

I mean, they're they're big, but like 150 inch deer, like your average is gonna like 140 to 40. And they're gonna be an eight-point or a real skinny pencil horned ten or something along those natures. What he shot is a once-in-a-lifetime deer. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 37:49

Well, he had he had all no doubt, I mean, like perfect scenarios that the deer had probably been he was smart, slipping around. And he was also in the right areas where people were not shooting him yet. They were trying to turn him into something.

SPEAKER_03 38:04

Does everyone know the story of this deer?

unknown 38:08

No.

SPEAKER_07 38:09

I don't think we should tell it.

SPEAKER_05 38:10

I don't think we have rights to tell it. We should maybe get one of them on here to actually tell the story. Because we are probably gonna fuck it up. Because I've heard it three different ways.

SPEAKER_03 38:20

I just know where it was living. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 38:25

Like, no wonder.

SPEAKER_03 38:26

Um we'll we'll we'll give the right person.

SPEAKER_02 38:29

Well, that's the thing, though, is deer around here, they travel a lot. Well, and and it's old. Deer anywhere travel a lot.

SPEAKER_03 38:34

That's the thing. That is one golly, yeah. We need one of them to come on here and talk about it. But uh like it's amazing at how far that deer traveled from where someone else had had pictures of it. Yeah, even though it's a lot of time. And it's done that same thing for several years.

SPEAKER_05 38:52

Well it wasn't it even from nighttime to daytime? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like a timeline like that traveling that far.

SPEAKER_03 38:59

At times, and then other times it was within a week span, like he stopped here for a little while, and then he stopped here for a little while, and then he made it to there. You know.

SPEAKER_02 39:09

Crazy. Right place, right time.

SPEAKER_03 39:11

Uh just yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:14

For the deer, uh, wrong place, wrong time.

SPEAKER_04 39:20

Uh I'm sure he broke pretty plenty of does during the time though his genes are still spreading around. Sure at least. You gotta think about that too.

SPEAKER_02 39:29

You know, how old was he?

SPEAKER_04 39:30

I I don't know. I'm sure he got his jawbones.

SPEAKER_05 39:34

Forgot to ask. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 39:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 39:36

That's that's the beautiful thing about letting a deer actually live a good life that has good genes.

SPEAKER_04 39:44

See, that's why like uh high fence ranches do that. Yeah, it especially when they get a really good one. What, three or four, they're massive. Yeah, that's the reason they do that. It's because when a gene pool is good, it pulls it up.

SPEAKER_02 39:59

I mean, bring one good stud in and let it just yeah.

SPEAKER_04 40:02

It it's the same way with cattle or horses or anything else. I mean, it's the same thing. Yeah, I agree. Same thing. Yeah, because you always have a dog. Well, I mean for that matter.

SPEAKER_05 40:12

I mean, you look at all these clubs and they're like, oh, that's a cool book. You gotta take that out. You gotta get rid of it. Yeah, gotta get rid of that thing because it then it just keeps on branching off, and then you gotta get rid of more of them.

SPEAKER_04 40:22

Yeah, yeah. So that's exactly right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 40:25

It's weird how all I've never really understood all the logistics of all that, but I mean, it's pretty neat to see as far as like probably one of the worst feelings is though, is that target deer that you've been hunting for like three years, you find the skull and sheds with it. That's just fucking heartbreaking. That or it got ran over down the road from your house. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 40:49

Or you hear your uncle shoot while you're sitting on the stand that you've had pictures of him in front of for the last three months. And he just so happened to step out on that one 30 minutes before shooting light ends, and he shoots. And then he shoots again, and then he shoots again.

unknown 41:14

Damn.

SPEAKER_03 41:15

And then you go, well, I guess I'm gonna get down and go see what's going on. He might be getting attacked by something. And you get over there, and there I don't know. Sight in your guns, people. I guess I don't or learn how to shoot. I've never been so mad. I walked up there, he's like, Yeah, I got him. He kept clock he kept getting back up. That's my dear.

SPEAKER_04 41:40

Oh boy. God dogs.

SPEAKER_03 41:43

I had to help help load it up and clean it.

SPEAKER_04 41:47

Oh, that's that sucks. That's a bitch right there, man. That ain't worth it.

SPEAKER_03 41:53

I do have one on camera still, or I did. Uh I don't know where uh he's lost his horns. I've been trying to find the shits. But no one took him out.

SPEAKER_04 42:06

They should they should be uh what is it uh early May? Late. No, no, I may ever. Not May. Uh what month are we in? March. They should start losing their horns.

SPEAKER_03 42:17

No, we're in April. Well, we're at the end of start losing them towards the end of February. Mine are gone. Yeah. I don't I don't have one with horns. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 42:30

Pretty sure they lose them like in January, February. Yeah, I think.

SPEAKER_03 42:34

Uh about about February, uh, mid-February. Then they the circulation cuts off. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 42:41

That is so crazy how that shit works, man. Yeah. Like, honestly, there's blood coursing through those. Yeah, I watched I watched it. I watched a video on like some pen rays in the middle. Oh, I guess we got bone wear. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_05 42:57

Uh but I was watching a video like of pen rays, and they were having to cut them off to keep them from fighting and messing up the other ones, and blood, and then it puts some paste over it or something. It's all good.

SPEAKER_03 43:08

Carterizes it basically. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 43:11

That's nuts to me, man. Like, can you imagine just somebody just cutting up.

SPEAKER_02 43:16

I don't know if they lose them if it's a painful experience or not. I'm not a deer, so I wouldn't know.

SPEAKER_03 43:20

But you would think it's bloodshot. I think it's an irritating feeling. Yeah, because it's a bit more. Like it starts to itch. Maybe like it's a silver or something.

SPEAKER_05 43:28

The reason why they rub because like it's they can feel they can feel it.

SPEAKER_04 43:32

Yeah, that that does. Yeah, that that changes.

SPEAKER_03 43:34

Like it's itching. Like, you know, whenever you get a scale. Got like a sunburn.

SPEAKER_04 43:38

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because I mean, like you find a good wall to rub up against when you got a sunburn on your back, and you're just like, yeah, dang, that feels good, boy.

SPEAKER_05 43:50

Also, people have caught them on trail camera, like shedding their horns, like they just they just and they're like, Oh, what the fuck was that?

SPEAKER_00 43:56

Yeah, they jumped, they freaked the fuck out.

SPEAKER_04 44:00

It cracks me up. I think it's cool to watch those videos. Everybody's like, dang, man, good buck. And I'm just like, dude, that that's hilarious. It's hilarious to watch, man. Like, it's like a cat being scared of a cucumber or something. You know, it's funny to watch.

SPEAKER_03 44:14

I mean, that reminds me. I had a guy show me a video of a deer eating around his feeder and bumped his horn on the feeder and knocked one off and then ran. He said, I still haven't found that other horn. Why couldn't he have just ran a little ways and shook the other one off? I got this one. I want the matching set.

SPEAKER_07 44:37

Good lord.

SPEAKER_04 44:38

Oh, I I did forget uh Marty, who was on the last podcast, uh, you know, he uh he he did give us some uh turkey calls, too.

SPEAKER_05 44:48

Probably the coolest turkey calls I've ever seen. Definitely never in my life.

SPEAKER_04 44:52

There's nobody else out there doing it. It it was pretty cool.

SPEAKER_05 44:56

Um do you want to give too much detail?

SPEAKER_04 44:58

No, because that's his thing. Yeah, because I mean it was also something I've never seen, especially walking around in WTF and everywhere. No, no, no. Never in my life have I ever seen any like it. So badass. And it sounds good too. But I mean, yeah, that now, uh, another announcement. Uh my dog Brooke from Sport and Life Kennels that uh Marty owns. Uh she had her puppies Friday, like shortly after I got over into Oxford. She had her puppies, and you know, I gave her her time and stuff, and I went over to see her Saturday, and she's doing great. She, you know, I I I knew she wasn't gonna be interested in me at all, but I walked in and I seen her and she smiled at me like she she just smiles at people whenever she's super excited and stuff. She smiled and then like kind of like looked down at her puppies and everything. But anytime I'd ever tried to pet pet a puppy or anything, she'd like kind of nudge in between us and then just try to nudge them like back underneath her. She's a good mama. She's a really good mama.

SPEAKER_05 45:59

It's pretty fascinating how dogs can flip that switch.

SPEAKER_04 46:02

Yeah, it it was really incredible to see. So I'm a grandpa now, so you know I mean give her about three weeks, maybe four.

SPEAKER_03 46:10

And she'll she'll be she'll be tired all the kids.

SPEAKER_04 46:13

Oh shit. But yeah, no, it it it was it was really cool. And five of them came out black, one of them came out yellow. They bred her with a dog named Will out of Southern Oakland. Was it yellow? Uh it was like a dark yellow, huh?

SPEAKER_05 46:28

Like a red, like almost like a red.

SPEAKER_04 46:29

Oh man, kind of, yeah, almost.

SPEAKER_05 46:32

Uh because I know there's a red in the British lineup. Yeah. Uh I've actually been pretty fascinated with that. It was a little bit more yellow.

SPEAKER_04 46:41

I I like a good dark.

SPEAKER_05 46:43

It was kind of dark like we got some uh pet ducks from Eddie's down there where we get our dogs from, and I was talking to him and I was I was talking to him about his reds because I don't know, those red labs, they fascinate me. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:58

It's something nobody really else has. I mean, they're cool looking dogs.

SPEAKER_02 47:03

How does Ellie like the baby ducks?

SPEAKER_03 47:06

That's great.

SPEAKER_05 47:08

They're actually being brooded in our office right now. Okay. So every time Lauren's in there painting during the day, and then both of the dogs just lay facing the little pen and just watch them. But they know they can't get in there. Right. But then Lauren's got this little like dog puppy playpen outside. We've been letting them go out there and walk around playing on this little makeshift pool, you know, whatever. Oh, you can't let Ellie outside just like she wants to jump in there. But our plan with these things is to uh you know, raise them up in a pen, localize them, and then it'd basically just be pond pets. Yeah, that's pretty that's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_04 47:49

That's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_03 47:50

So I got a question about a concern. If you get onto your lab for trying to go after your pet, I'm not many times.

SPEAKER_05 47:58

I'm not going to. Yeah. I think it'll just become a known thing. Like I'm not hard on her about it. Like I understand the drive and everything, but I think she'll know that in the yard is not actually honey.

SPEAKER_03 48:11

But I mean, yeah, you wouldn't want to get onto your dog too much. Like, what if we got a cripple? That's why I have a dog. Yeah. Now she doesn't want to pick it up because I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_05 48:20

Yeah, I'm not going to even try to.

SPEAKER_03 48:22

If she if she catches them, she catches them.

SPEAKER_05 48:24

If she doesn't I mean, even if she catches one, I just she'll just bring it to me and then I'll just let it go again. Exactly. Like she doesn't harm it. It was like she's caught birds that are crippled that are well enough to get away. Yeah. And they get back to me. If I let them go, they're going to do the same thing.

SPEAKER_04 48:40

Yeah, like like dog, they do say dogs have like the softest mouth and stuff, you know, as far as like holding, holding things, I guess.

SPEAKER_02 48:48

Have you tried the egg theory with Brooke?

SPEAKER_04 48:50

No.

SPEAKER_02 48:50

Have you you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, yeah. Holding an egg.

SPEAKER_04 48:54

I haven't I haven't tried that because I really don't if she drops it, I don't feel like cleaning the egg up off my floor, to be honest.

SPEAKER_03 49:01

I'll be honest, I think I think stone would just drop it and then eat it whenever it cracks.

SPEAKER_04 49:06

Yeah, I just uh eggs are expensive. I mean they are. Well, I mean I get mine from my my grandmother. She's got a funny farm out of her house. So I mean, I haven't paid for eggs in a while since she started getting her chickens back and her ducks and everything. So I've been getting duck eggs, chicken eggs. She's got a funny farm? Yeah, dude. Did you escape? No.

SPEAKER_05 49:31

Do you know the meaning of a funny? It's a farm, not a funny farm.

SPEAKER_04 49:34

Oh. Well, we've just always called it a funny farm.

SPEAKER_03 49:37

I mean, me and my mom, like, whenever you say that, I expect you to have goats and pigs and chickens.

SPEAKER_04 49:43

She used to, she used to have a lot of people.

SPEAKER_03 49:44

Some people might take a dog to that.

SPEAKER_04 49:46

No, I mean, that's just what my me and my mom have already been. I mean, it, you know, it's just like we she so before tornado came through, Granny used to have like she had turkeys, she had Christmas and Thanksgiving for the turkeys. There was two turkeys. One was white, one was brown. And then she had ducks, geese, guineas, uh shit, raccoons. I mean, like, funny farm. She had it all. They had it all. And now she's just got geese and she's got one turkey and a bunch of ducks right now, uh, and a bunch of chickens. And so she's trying to rebuild because she just retired last year, so she's trying to rebuild her farm.

SPEAKER_05 50:31

I've been over there. I've seen like the coops and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 50:34

So I mean, she's trying to get it all rebuilt back up to how she had it before and everything. So yeah, I mean, it's comical to see.

SPEAKER_05 50:43

So that's what you do with the turkeys. Tame, you just domestic turkeys, that's what you do with them. You can eat the eggs.

SPEAKER_03 50:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 50:50

You can eat the egg?

SPEAKER_04 50:51

Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 50:53

You ever had duck eggs?

SPEAKER_04 50:55

Duck eggs are good. I heard duck eggs are really, really good. Duck eggs are good. They are. I had one in them uh uh made a little bit of a scrambled egg by itself uh not long ago.

SPEAKER_03 51:08

Yeah, yeah, 100%. Yeah. The yolks like just a really dark yellow. Like it's almost orange instead of yellow. It's a lot more rich. It's probably orange.

SPEAKER_04 51:22

I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 51:25

Nutrient.

SPEAKER_04 51:26

So yeah, nutrient rich. Well, that's like Arod. He used to have he used to have quail, he used to have quail's up in college. Quail eggs whenever he was really fit and stuff. Like, not that he's not fit now, but like but he used to like quail eggs are like one of the most nutritious for you. And that's what he did. He would he would have he had quail and then he had them at college? Yeah, yeah, he did out of his backyard at college, yeah. And that's what he that's what he'd eat was the quail eggs. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 51:57

They're supposed to be really good for it.

SPEAKER_05 51:58

Call it on a budget, I guess.

SPEAKER_04 52:00

I mean, I guess so.

SPEAKER_03 52:01

You you can't hardly crack a quail egg. Really? I'll make it with the hammer. You get like they make like special scissors that you like sit on it that crack it open because the shell's just so small. Oh, I've seen that in movies. Yeah, I've seen that in the fact 100%.

SPEAKER_04 52:20

Yeah, like they poke a pinhole at the top of it to let the air out of it.

SPEAKER_05 52:25

No, that's not what I'm talking about. I think that's through like bowling eggs or something.

SPEAKER_03 52:28

Jeffro had some quail for a little while for some reason. Back when he was on his funny farm.

SPEAKER_04 52:35

Well, y'all do have a uh flower or a butterfly. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 52:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 52:43

No more chickens. One time he had a chance.

SPEAKER_04 52:46

Anybody ever seen that dude? Do you have a TikTok showing? Yeah. Damn. Hunter, that's how many y'all got right now?

SPEAKER_03 52:52

No, no, not no more. Zero now. But at one time he did. That was his hobby.

SPEAKER_04 52:59

You'd pull you'd pull up down there. That that uh three eggs for everybody. You pull up down there, and all you hear is I mean, I was like, holy shit. And then Trey's like, ah, yeah, that's that's chickens. And they got it like this whole damn barn to the side of the house.

SPEAKER_03 53:16

I mean, it used to be a horse barn that he turned into a full-blown chicken coop. So it's way too big.

SPEAKER_04 53:27

Picking up for 150 fucking chickens.

SPEAKER_03 53:29

I mean I'm talking had different stages from incubator to they just hatch, put them in here for a little while to their half uh half-ass grown. We'll put them in here for a little while to full grown. Now they get to go outside. He had stages, yeah. And it was some special breed of chicken. Uh, don't get me lying about you. He'd tell you everything about it. Had people had people driving from like Missouri to get to get eggs. It was insane.

SPEAKER_05 53:59

He might have been making bank off them chickens.

SPEAKER_03 54:02

I promise you he spent more on them than he made.

SPEAKER_05 54:06

They got eggs at World War.

SPEAKER_03 54:10

To each their own. Yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_04 54:12

That's right. Yeah, to each their own.

SPEAKER_05 54:14

I just want to make some little yard pits. All right. I like watching them waterfowl all year long.

SPEAKER_04 54:19

That is pretty cool, though.

SPEAKER_03 54:20

You ought to get a rooster. You seen that rooster that thought it was a duck.

SPEAKER_04 54:23

I do not want a fucking rooster.

SPEAKER_03 54:25

You see that one that thought it was a duck trying to get out there and swim back down.

SPEAKER_04 54:30

Yeah, yeah. Uh I wouldn't let them out in the water yet.

SPEAKER_05 54:37

No, no, no.

SPEAKER_04 54:38

Because that bass is gonna come up and just oh no, we're we're getting some uh smoked that ass.

SPEAKER_05 54:43

I'm pretty surprised. Like, we stocked this pond like two years ago now, two summers ago. So this would be the third summer. And Carson caught a bass the other day. I should you not like this. And we put them in there, they were this long. It's crazy how fast some bass grow. Well, not all of them, because there's a bunch of still smaller ones that are you know like this, but some of them they just eat more than the other ones, I guess. And they are growing.

SPEAKER_02 55:13

All right. Sometimes I wish we had like we videoed this shit just to do that. Yeah, we're gonna figure out we're gonna figure that out.

SPEAKER_05 55:22

I've been uh I've been eyeballing some budget things because the one thing is my cameras can't film for the duration of the and then it would be all weird and stuff. So we're we're we're we're figuring it out. We're gonna we're gonna go video some just point.

SPEAKER_02 55:36

Just at least if it's just even focused on Jackson, just to get just John camera. No, no, nobody can.

SPEAKER_01 55:44

Hey, are we about to wrap up? We're getting close. Hey, well I I want to tell a story. Okay, okay. Because this is from the last time that I was on the podcast.

SPEAKER_04 55:55

Um two, three, three weeks ago. It was right before the Jay Stevens attempt. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 56:00

Um, which that was fun. So during that week I was trying to get a bunch of stuff done. And so uh I knew I had to get up like at 3 30 or 4. Uh it was on a Tuesday. We would have our Tuesday meetings, and I had to get a bunch of stuff done. So uh I went to bed like at 80 or 8 30 and I was like, man, there's no way I'm gonna go to sleep. I gotta go to sleep because I gotta get up. So I was so worried about like not sleeping. So I lay in there for a little while, and um Andrew was reading, and um it didn't really bother me, you know. I just sit there and I didn't get my eyes. And then a little bit later, I hear out in our like our courtyard, like clinging. I'm like, what in the world is going on? And um she sounded asleep, and so I just said, Man, I just gotta go back to sleep because I gotta get up already. So later, and then I'm like, But tomorrow, bro, I gotta see this. So I look out the blinds, and man, I'm not kidding y'all. There is a buzzard on top of the uh guest house, and there's one down in the courtyard, and they are picking up a metal dog bowl, and they're flying up there and dropping it, and that's all the climate noise. And I'm like, what in the world is going on? And like it's like, I mean, we don't even have buzzards around our house, really. I'm like, dude, this is insane. I couldn't find my phone to film it. So I lay back in bed and I'm like, and I ain't gonna go to sleep. Because you know, one, I just saw buzzards fly around with a dog boat, and two, I've been thinking about I can't sleep. So I'm just laying there and it's it's going on and going on, and I'm like, man, all right, this is it. So I get back up and go out there, and I am not kidding, y'all. I hate to even say this with a serious face. A miniature llama comes by my window with a baby doll on a saddle drinking a bottle.

SPEAKER_04 58:02

And I am like You're having a fucking favor drink.

SPEAKER_01 58:06

I'm like, in the world. What is going on? So I I I go back and I was gonna tell Angie, and I was like, I'm not waking her up over a llama. So I walk out the door. I'm pissed if somebody didn't wake me up. Did you try a llama? Sometimes that does that to me too. I had nothing but water because I had to get up early. I mean, no caffeine better. So I follow the llama around the corner, and there is a zebra and a lion. And the line is kind of weird looking. Not that any line in your backyard in Stoke Art, Arkansas, wouldn't be weird looking at after midnight. And so um, it's like looking at me, and I go over there too, and I'm like, why am I approaching the lion? This is not smart. And so I go to grab behind the mane, and when I grab him behind the mane, he's got like these shards on him. And so I wake up in bed and my hands bleeding. And I'm like, what in the world is going on? See, I dreamed all this. Well, my hands bleed. So I'm thinking, like, man, I'm just trying to get some sleep. I gotta get like 3:34. So I'm sitting there for a second, trying to think about what's going on. I'm like, that's it, I'm getting my gammo rifle. I'm gonna shoot that line at zero and all these things with a gammo rifle. And so about that time, I go to get the rifle, and um Angie says, Do you hear that? I'm like, You're awake? She said, Yeah, do you hear that? That is not outside, that is in our house. And about this time I hear like this blood curdling yell, like, and so I take off, and like the way my bedroom is, is to the right, and then go to the left, and I look out on our courtyard, because I thought they were in our house. There's a dude out there with a baseball bat smashing my TV. And so, next thing I know, I was like, I got him. And I raise up out of bed. I've been dreaming all this, and Angie's like, what is going on? I said, Don't worry, I got him, and I'm thinking, get this dude. I'm fixing to get this dude. She said, I don't know what's going on, but this is weird. Holy shit. Is that not good? I've had some crazy dreams. My dream was I could, I was so worried about sleeping, but my dream was I kept getting up and back.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:20

Well, the thing, the thing is, you had me until you said line and zebra. And I'm like, buzzard, lum, I'm with you. Yeah, that's what I can do.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:29

When I did Rusty, Rusty's like, your neighbors could have had a lime or something, but he goes, I ain't gonna have no line to do that. I mean, zebra, it's a little iffy for this area, but line, that's where I was like, okay, even when you're dreaming, I'm thinking like, okay, so I decided to go kill all these animals with a gamma rifle. So I should have known then, like, oh, it's definitely a dream. Yeah. But dude, when I come up out of the band with my hand like that, and she asked me, and I was like, I got him. I got him. I had that dude smashing my TV by the neck. You're sitting here using the forms on his ass trying to wake up. Yeah. She was like, What's going on? So then it and honestly, that was probably like one o'clock at night. So I it was so vivid. I had to tell her the whole dream. She's like, I'm not going back to sleep now. I said, Well, I'm gonna sleep good. I'm going back to sleep now. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:16

They say you're sleeping the hardest whenever you have dreams like that, though. Really? Like you're actually like living through it. Like the vivid dreams, like you're the living dream. Like you feel like you're actually getting up out of bed and going and doing these things. They feel like you're they say you're sleeping the hardest whenever you're.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:30

Hey, that's just another Tuesday, man. I do want to point out, I think this is the first time we've all actually been back in here. It is.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:42

All five of us at the same time since we started back doing this.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:45
