I hope you've enjoyed the Wes because rumor on the street is. Oh, I love rumors. Grant's body, Grant's body may have some movement coming up. So we appreciate the Wes podcast. podcast studio that we've had, but that could change up to debate.

The government is still shut down. They're in Congress right now working on it. Today's date is November the 13th in the year of our Lord, 2025, depending where you are in the Wes, on the edge of the empire, on the wall, ready to brawl in the states, eating cake.

We got a lot of exciting stuff for you today. So much excitement. Trash Six got a lot to say. A lot of people want to talk about a lot of things. But first in studio with me, from the Greater Salt Lake City area, home of the former Utah hockey club, now known as the mammoths.

I think they are. Tusk up. Mammis. Tusc up. Mammis. I got it right. How about that? Is Major Jeff Bouget, not in a drilling status, probably is owed back pay for prior drilling statuses due to the government

shutdown. Everything in life is due to the government shutdown, due to the government shutdown. It's almost worked in, well, you know, with COVID and all. Everything going on. With everything going on, that is, if you don't get that one, go check out mass sonomics. And then also in studio,

coming to us. Oh, where am I? from Waco, Texas. The Waco from Waco, we got Mr. Trey Gottlitch, Robert Galsh, the third. He's riding high on the Aggie wins, sitting at 8-0. He's doing great.

9-0, excuse me, who's count number three, because the greatest team in the country is the Ohio State Buckeyes, as our listeners have let us know. And so A&M is still number three. This podcast is powered by the Strength Co, brought to you by BW Tax. Remember, it's always tax season, wherever you are, a great guy, better at taxes. Feeling rich, start thinking about your taxes.

Hey, if we got to do a stand down, that's a mission failure. That's a mission failure. And I actually kind of, I kind of appreciated it. I was like, oh, yeah, I guess stand down for what?

that was the nam wow wow that's phenomenal hey keep sidebars to a minimum please you're supposed to drive this brief oh right driving it drive it oh no my my three zulu he is currently driving so i think there's a little confusing on how, like, are we literally driving this brief or figuratively driving the brief? Okay, okay, putting it in gear right now. Here we go. You're being,

you're being petty, three. You're being petty. Just drive. Very well. I, sir. I sir. Okay, thanks, S-1. Appreciate your stand-down. We appreciate everything you do for this country. That's why we have you know, freedom and the, all the stars on the flag and the stripes

Atre, that's you. Sir, as far as for the group, we put in a work order to fix a Laminator. I believe since we are still and I can, it's government shutdown. We can't fix it. Longs or short.

That's a lot for the group, sir. I will continue to work on a Laminator. I have a corporal who's going to try to work on it and try to fix it. So, okay. A trash five here real quick. Did you get all your maps collected in the map room? Sorry, I have a map.

Did all the, did all the company commanders turn in their maps? Most of them. No. Who did? No one did. Is that right? No.

Okay. Guys, trash six here. Those maps are CUI, get them turned into the map room. Okay. Turn in your maps. Long story short. All right. Thanks to what you do. It keeps us motivated. It keeps us free. We appreciate everything you do for this country. Freedom isn't free. But the intel is free. If you go on Google, you can find most things on open source. But hey, we appreciate you. I hope you get a nice free meal over there at Chick-fil-A or In-N-Out or Applebee's. Yeah, treat yourself. Treat yourself. yourself okay we got we got our three shop update from the zulus uh the slides did not get updated but there were no updates so technically we're current on slides um trash bit trash update uh we're still working if we if we go ahead pulled the slides we got the fish bone the fish bone is up there if you follow across on the fish bone you'll see where that arrow indicates that's our current place in

the timeline or the trash tracker So just everyone goes, go ahead and see you aware. If I can, I know we're on the three portion, but the four here, trash four. We put in for dumpsters, like had to have been two weeks ago. And one of my lieutenants just put the wrong date on the form. So I'm working with the base facilities. and I think there's a trash dumpster over by com. Just please don't put electronics in them

and we'll be fine. I feel like you're really, this is like a real life. That's chilling. That's jailing a real. That was a direct quote. That's pretty spot on impression. Just having fun at the brief. There's some folks that are listeners that might know Grant's buddy.

from the deployment and might get a kick out of that. Nah, no inside baseball here. Right, right, right, right, right. Kim Kim's out of a locker room. Yeah, okay. All right, I feel like the brief's good enough for the government shut down. One more question, though, for the room real quick. Hey, did anyone, did anyone, was there like a piece of important, like, gear that's on a

CMR anywhere that got lost that anyone wants to brief the commander on in, in the meeting in front of everyone for the first time at the end of the day. Does anyone want to do that real quick? Anyone got any items they lost? So that does seem like a good time to do it. Yeah, seems like the best time is end of like the day

and then just like kind of like casually gloss over it and then people in the room go, wait, what was that last part about the major toolkit that got lost? Oh, oh, oh, we're looking for it. We're looking for it now. though, sir. Don't worry. Another good time to bring stuff up like that would be like, hey, by the way, three months ago, when we were on ship, there was a gear theft ring.

So we're just going to have a bunch of flipples, but we're on it. What? Go ahead. Go ahead. Get with me after this offline. We'll get off. We'll get with me after this on that. Yeah. That's an offline topic, not an online. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. So, hey. Happy Veterans Day, Tray. Hey. Hey, you too.

Happy belated birthday. Deborah. Super five. Yeah. I think we got to jump right into Jeff's birthday ball. Oh, my gosh. I got the best picture effort. It was a good time.

On Slack, I got that photo, too. We got, oh, I got, I got, I got the same. I got the one of everybody. let's see he's picking oh look those notes he's ready to go the notes

but yeah birthday ball had it in Long Beach on the Queen Mary historical former cruise liner but now it just hangs out in piers

a hotel but it was a great time honestly like one of the better Marine Corps birthday balls damn we had a good

okay I know you're tracking the birthday ball on the hornblower in San Diego look at that that's a good photo that's a good photo

you know watch on YouTube you should watch on YouTube you can see Marines wearing sunglasses at night it's good that's in a Modelo commercial my guess yeah

those were like the ones that had like headphones in them I was listening to some Sturgle Simpson in that in that photo just vibe in at the ball I was going to all the way down I don't say that. How young was the youngest Marine?

The youngest Marine was born in 2006. I don't remember what was. Oh, can you believe it? That's what I graduated high school that year. I can't believe that. People were born after I was born. That's hilarious. I can't believe.

What an idiot for being born in 2006. Sorry, major's better than the Marine Corps longer than that. Wow, what a boom. Well, yeah. Yeah, that's why he's called the youngest Marine. That's literally how this always works. Every year. People act like it's the greatest comedic joke of all time.

That made Tray laugh. Yeah, that's pretty good. It's true. It's true. But then our oldest Marine, I was born in 1944. Whoa. Marron. It was like a captain in Vietnam.

Yeah, he was, he was. Yeah, no, he's still in the battalion. Yeah, yeah, he's the, he's a warrant officer now in the, in the four shop. He's a, he's a, he's the MMO. He's a C-1-5. He's a-em-o. Just hanging on for dear life. What are their highlights from the ball?

We had Colonel Frazier, former 11th Marines. Oh, yeah. Regimental commander, Cannon Cocker 6. He was there. Fubu Mike Frazier. Yeah, gave a good, it was good speech. It was good. Yeah.

Yeah, Marines had a good time. Drink a bunch of medealo. So I'm Brian for Nacho battery. Exactly. That's what I was going for. Nacho battery had a good time. Let's see. I don't think I didn't get a photo with him, at least on my phone.

But Sergeant Major Hibbard was there, former Marine Corps Marathon finisher, current Lone Star 9. So about to be RA 9. Not to be RA 9. Big time. A lot of movers and shakers there. So it was fun. Yeah, it's always good to get the team together. Celebrate the ball.

Remember our heritage. Okay. Have you all seen the birthday video? I've refused to watch it. Okay. You're waiting for the ball because I want to watch it at the ball. Yep. That's the best way I do like that what the Marine Corps posted was rotate your phone.

It's like, you know, like when people say, but the arrow is the wrong way. Yeah. so it says rotate your phone like to the left and so like it rotated to the left and it was upside down and I was like oh man you guys really botched that oops well no one to watch this I've seen clips of it but I am not ready to provide analysis at this time nice nice okay Trey you said you had not watched it or did not yet no I need to watch you're waiting for yeah yeah yeah same my balls well yeah Oh, okay, okay, track it, track it. Yeah, me and Abby are having a birthday bowl.

With Grant's buddy. I love that. Yeah, with Grant's buddy. Yeah, that's it. That's a good time. That'll be good time. Well, when you do have that ball and you watch it, let me know what you think. Okay.

Was it good? Yeah, I mean, I think it's always kind of great. Like, you when people are like, oh, that video wasn't like, I think they're always great. There was not as much artillery in it as I was hoping because that's like, it's a big pop. at the ball when a triple seven's going off and like people just oh it's the best it's the best but yeah well yeah that's why they called the ball that's what we call at the ball all right what we got next coming up all right what's next that is coming up is hmm okay we talk i hear the government shutdowns almost over that it's it should be

should be that's the scuttle bud i hear the democrats just caved and they're just like whatever we're don't this oh yeah government shut down maybe they support the troops i did yeah i did get a good uh one last taste of the government shutdown was my my flight coming home from the ball uh was supposed to be like sunday like mid-afternoon and then i got an email that morning on sunday that was like your flights canceled because they were like salt lake city was one of like the airports the guy hit with like the 10% reduction And so they were like, oh, well, I was like, I'm sure I just got rebooked for a flight later that day. And they're like, nope, you're going home tomorrow.

What were we doing? How did we do last week overall? On the picks?

South Carolina's coming off a bye. Mike Shulah's fired. Will Must chance is a real. It is a tricky game for A&M. Yeah. It's a tricky game. They got everything. It's in college station, though.

It's in college station at 11 a.m. Now. Ooh. don't never like they're going to be tired from yell practice yeah I don't know the players tired from all they yelling whoop gig them hi think

I think we're going to beat the ever-leven heck out of the game cox I can see South Carolina put up a little bit of a fight my man Only down. They're going to lose by 14. That's it. That's it. They're going to be covering out.

Good teams wins. Great teams. Hey, I'm rooting hard for A and I'm the rest of this season. I appreciate it, man. That means a lot. I want it. I want it. Of course, we got Citadel versus your Wofford Bulldogs.

Or two different. What's the dogs? Who's favorite? they don't really give you that kind of stuff for these types of games they don't they don't need to make up your own line yeah uh it's got to be somewhere let's see uh odd speedia access restricted Vegas insider all right here we go here we go no spread posted sorry If I had to pick a spread, I'd say Wofford's favored by nine.

And the overrunners at 34. Football. I'm going to go with the over and I'm picking Citadel the win. Hey, my man. I can't tell you about Wofford. Where's Wofford even low? I don't know. South Carolina, the upstate.

I actually wasn't far off. Oh, never mind. That's an old game. Yeah, even Chad. He's like, I don't have no idea. Oh, not worth the computing power. That's basketball. Anyway, we won't waste any more time on this.

Dogs by 100. Go and dogs. I agree with that. They got some feedback from last week's shout out. Mr. Campbell. He was, I think, tickled pink. was the words that he was used, maybe. I'm putting words in his mouth that we covered the Ohio State and talked to him.

And he said, be honored to get on the podcast. Well, good news for you, sir. We got a long waiting list for guests. So you don't have to clear your schedule just yet. But once we get back from the Wes, we're going to have the guests back on. You're going to be part of the show. You might be a regular part of the show. You might be a get the outlying station in and break your tie.

Who knows? But we'll get you on four seasons in. Thanks for listening. Thanks for what you do. Trash your show. Intentional dick. Attentional deck. Thanks,

I'm right. Oh, help you all right. That's college football. Stuff. I love it. I do have a bone to pig with the rankings on that. I think that's fair.

So here's the thing. I don't mind A&M being number three. It's the reasoning. behind it that bothered me. So they came out and said, hey, A&M played a backup quarterback in Missouri. I'm like, okay. But I'm pretty sure Penn State's quarterback's been out for a minute. They're on their backup quarterback, and they almost beat Indiana.

Yeah. I don't think you can't play that game of like, yeah, I heard what they were downgrading, like when a Georgia Tech's wins. Because they were like, well, they won because there was like a big officiating mistake. And it's like, ah, I don't think you can play that game. You can play that game. Stuff like that. Crossboard. I don't know.

As long as your top war, I really don't care. But if I'm being petty, I would say, yeah. Be better. Keep winning. Let's go back to the DCS. True. Be undeniable. That's all I got.

Okay. I never had beef with any of the national champions in the BCS area. How do you feel about Will Mustchamp? Oh, love it. So excited. Coach, boom. Dude, I was telling you, I was like, dude, I was freaking out. I was like, no, we went with the classic like, well, this guy's had a couple of head coaching jobs.

They haven't really panned out. But we think this time he's got something special. He could interview well. The wrong organization. This SET team is going to be, it's like, no, no, no, no. But then again, we tried that with Brian Harsen, and that was terrible. I forgot about that guy, yeah. Brian Harson.

All right. Trey, I hear you are anti-pasta. You know, I'm not, but for the, yeah, all in terms of purposes. Their food's good, but, man, it makes me feel bad. lips lifetimes on the hips that's it and killing uh so what that really means is tray started carnivore why don't you tell us about it so it's more out of necessity is i have a freezer full of deer meat dove and pheasant that i have to all the stuff that's real good tasting in that game at all yeah so this fine cuts of meats and i go hey abby do you you want to eat this and she's like not

really. I was like, okay. Mike, do you think the girls would like it? She's like, probably not. I was like, well, I guess I'm going carnivore. So, you know, but how many days in are you? I am four days in. Okay. How pure

are you? Are you doing dairy? I'm doing dairy. Just hard cheese. I feel like. Are you doing bread? No, no, no bread. Okay. Just checking how are you doing. Oh, yeah, no, it's carnivore, but I'm, you know, I got bread.

I had my granola in the morning and then my cereal, but then it's ice cream count as dairy? I'm not doing, I'm not doing ice cream. Yeah, no, I'm doing hard cheeses. I'm doing them hard cheeses, yeah. I feel like cheese and meat is usually my good. Are you doing milk? No milk. I do it.

But I never did milk beforehand, so. Are you doing eggs? Yep, I do eggs. Okay. Are you extremely tired right now? Yeah, I feel kind of like, I would say so. I felt like the window for me was like somewhere around day six to day nine when I remember like just at noon, I would just have to crush power nap. It felt like Kyle Rimpi over here.

Like I ate a bunch of beef, time to sleep. And then about at like maybe the 14 day mark. It was like I stabilized and was doing good. I was eating a pound of venison a day. Last January, a pound of innocent every single day. No, two years ago, January. What did you season it with, just salt and pepper? Well, everything possible.

I saved a lot of bacon lard. I bought, what's that stuff called, gie? Yeah. Yeah, I did some of that. I didn't do salt and pepper. I did like, you know, backyard burger. like whatever. I would mix it with eggs

and it was palatable. It was by like two weeks in it was pretty rough. But I got super lean. I just turned into a deer. I started growing antlers. That's why I stopped eating venison. So I stopped the carnivores. Yeah, just jumping around in the forest. Yeah, I can't wait to crush pizza.

That's young. How long are you going to go for? there's no scenario where you're carnivore on Thanksgiving Day no I feel like you know what I read a book on dieting one time and he brought up a good point he's like don't let he's like if you're doing a diet or like if you're doing fasting or whatever you're doing he's like if you have like a holiday or in a social event where like it's meaningful that takes priority over your diet and you can kind of get back on the routine after that event. that end in why I love Monday

you didn't with your kids that's social and meaningful that's it man yeah I don't know how much eating is going on there it's uh

but yeah speaking of meat Jeff one quick question on carnivore stuff where do so for like those like hardcore super strict carnivore folks

do they eat eggs where does eggs fall in like the because it's not meat but like it could turn in yeah i think i'm trying to think if sean baker eats eggs i think he does eat eggs but i can't remember i think the hardcores don't eat eggs they definitely don't do cheese and dairy and milk right okay but in terms of like body response unless people

have a problem with dairy which we know all lactose intolerance can be fixed by lactose tolerance which means just keep drinking the milk to your body adapts but yeah I think they don't do the dairy but most of the people that talk about it and advocate for it they're like

hey you're still going to get all the benefits of like you know all the stuff lowering inflammation leaky gap blah blah blah yeah anyway interesting okay but talking meats but now we're talking meats but now we're talking chow got some supplements like organ meat supplements because i so i'm trying those outs you know

so makes me feel you get him from liver king yeah good good dude just right directly directly from that steroids i uh i see how he turned out i want to be just like him yeah potential sponsor liver king liver king man it's like i think i get arrested for like trying to fight killed Joe Rogan. He just wanted to fight Joe. He's wanted to fight him. Yeah. He's any friends with Jordy?

Yeah, they're best buds. They're best buds. Jordy, flash a photo of you and Liver King on the screen. Dang, they are friends. Yeah. Let's get in this child talk. All right, all right, all right. Well, kind of a good segue there, talking about carnivore.

talking meat for our chow talk so Trey if there was one if you're like I'm going carnivore and you weren't just you know kind of motivated by your freezer full of venison and bird meat what what meat would you wish that it was filled with

is there like a cut of meat a to be as specific or as broad as you are I went to I took a client out to eat and we went to a Terry Black's barbecue in Fort Worth. Been there, done that, got a t-shirt.

Man, dude, the, uh, brisket there, I can't cook brisket to save my life, but the brisket was phenomenal. Yeah. Except the good people. They know what they're doing. And so their brisket was phenomenal. So if someone else is cooking the brisket, I would say that. And then if I'm cooking myself, I'd probably just a rabbi. I'm a, just a solid ribeye.

I could probably crush every day. Well, all right. Well, and Terry Black's potential sponsor of the podcast is when they move into, when they move out of the long line of sponsors clamoring to sponsor the podcast, then you'll have a freezer, freezer full of brisket, and we'll get you going on that. Oh, yeah, man. Dude, it was so good.

They do have good. But y'all aren't. Are you brisket fan? I know Grant's not, right? Not really, but the, like, couple or like one of the instances where I remember eating it and being like, oh. I get it. Was that? I think what ruins a lot of brisket is if you're in anywhere in Texas,

they're like, I'm from Texas. I'm cooking brisket. And then they like proceed to hand you what tastes like pot roast. Really good brisket I do think is really good. For some reason, I don't like to eat a lot of it. Like,

it just makes me feel disgusting. Yeah, it's a ton of fat. It's like very much. I just, I don't like the way it feels. And if we're talking barbecue up before, pork pork pork if we're talking meats in the freezer i think you got to say well what what would what is my freezer full of right now it's full of nothing but uh i think like in terms of daily

eats i'm a i'm a bone in ribe yeah um or a try tip and i guess to say it my buddy was just telling me the other day he's been overseas for quite some time and he was saying uh man when i get back i just want to cook a try tip like i just want to like cook a try tip like i just want to like cook a try tip, maybe just some normal rice, like a nice veggie side and just like eat a normal meal that didn't come in some silver platter under with a boiling water under it and tastes like, oh, man, yeah, chow haul out here sucks so bad. It's like, it is like depressing. God, if there's like one thing, if there's like one chow hall that should be like great, it should be like those ones

in Okina. Okina. Yeah. Just just put some effort in. Come on, y'all. Just fix the ice cream machine. Come on, man. We're just seeing a bunch of majors running the chow halls. Seriously. Now, are you grilling or is broken?

Tri-tip, are you grilling it? Yeah, how do you have a cast iron pan? I'm usually grilling the tri-tip off heat. I will take my strength coat, cast iron pan, put that thing in the, the oven at like 100 while the grill heats up throw that thing the cast iron pin that is on the grill usually i seeer the tri-tip on the front end i've done it both ways but like i like to see it on the front end and then cook it off heat and then i just got my meter in there until

it hits what i want i've had like better success for you know the steak right where i want it that way uh rib eyes i almost just always do in the oven um i put my strength cook cast iron pan on the stove get it super hot I do like 90 seconds per side and then I throw the cast iron pan in the oven until my temp comes up on the meter and it's like perfect every time it's like foodproof

that's the best and like I like grilling out there's like a difference like between grilling out and like staying in the kitchen and cooking I got two of those strength coat 10-inchers so like Diana used to Diana's got it down better than I do at this point so you just boom boom

two steaks coming at you Dr. Dr. Gautledge uses a suvée. Try it. It's okay. Yeah. Yeah, he's French.

He's a big fan of it. I never had a steak soup in a suvied. I've had one. It's pretty good. What do you think? What's the hype about? Boiled meat. The hype about it is it's completely evenly cooked.

regardless if the thickness of the meat changes, like in a tri-tip or like in a steak, like if there's a thin in versus a thick in. Yeah, yeah. And then it goes to exactly the temperature that you want it. It's not gonna like run away on you, like maybe a pan or something. And then it's seared at the end. I don't dislike it.

I just think it's kind of like a rigmarole. You get this like bowl water with this like wand sitting in there and your meats in like Ziploc bags and I'm a cave man. Give me some fire and some iron. Yeah, it needs to be some fire involved. Some sort of heat. Defoe, what about you, ma'am?

Oh, yeah, ribby is really, really tough to beat. Again, to go three for three on the ribbyes. If I'm going to be, I mean, definitely eat the most, like, ground beef, that's the go-to, like such a versatile. Oh, yeah, dude. Such a versatile thing. Eat a ton of ground beef. Taco meat all day.

Just taco meat. What else? That's tracking taco rice. Taco rice. It's a Japanese delicacy. Big Okinawa guy over there. Big. Arrogato.

Goodzaimis. Oh, Arrogato. Because of us. But, yeah, I think I do love a good pork chop. If there's like a,

you know, go to a restaurant, a little bone in pork chop that's on the menu. It sounds like a swordfish case. Because he's from the sales. I don't know the last time I had swordfish. I remember when I was a child, we went to, I don't know, it was probably like five or six.

We went to a restaurant and they had swordfish on the menu. And I was like, oh, I want swordfish because then I get a sword. Ordered sword came out. No sword. Very upset. Very traumatic. So, you know, that kind of soured me on swordfish because it doesn't come with a sword. so that's that's my story uh quick pause on me talk because grant's buddy's got to go

and then you guys will have to take this thing down for landing two things i'd say uh podcast back to the uh pre deployment uh pre deployment uh i don't even know how to say it uh format very soon we'll have some guess backs on all that kind of stuff can't tell you why it's loose lips sink show but we got a big surprise, huge surprise, huge announcement next time we record, which we'll announce. Don't know when the next time we'll record is. Don't forget about the turkey poll. They were sitting about 65 online competitors.

Forget what the number is in person. Get your t-shirt, t-shirt cutoffs come, I think, in five days. November 18th got to order your t-shirt to get it by Thanksgiving. By then. Get your turkey pool tea. Support us online. Tag us to enter for some wins. And I'll let you guys shut her down.

I got to go. See you. See, dude. I feel like we can keep this meat talk going personally. Well, well, well. Then they were two. Yeah, oh, I love you cooking up the ribeye. What's your go-to method?

Oh, dude, I got, you know, I got that green egg on the, what, Facebook marketplace? Is that not like you're kind of like go-to? You're preparing any sort of meat. You're whipping it or you're busting out the- Dude, if I'm spending money on a rabbi, yeah, I'm cooking up on the green egg. It's nice. To me, it's the best. Like, it tastes good, comes off awesome.

So. Love it. Having that, I haven't had an issue with it. Every time I've tried, like, a cast-ard pan or put in the oven, like, I can't figure out the science behind it, but it's probably because I don't have that meat thermometer. That thing does sound like a good piece of gear. If you ask me, yeah, I just kind of, I figured it out kind of by like time, I'm off the stove we've got here.

So I kind of know, like, okay, if I've got the, I've got the burner set to this thing. And the steak, it looks about like this. Okay, then I'm pretty dialed as far as, like, my current setup and get pretty consistent. Do you let a, what's your rest time on it? Uh, I don't think five-ish minutes, usually five to seven minutes. Putting any butter on it? In there. While it's resting?

Oh, no, there's definitely going to be some butter on a baby. I think I learned that trick from you. I love butter. Wrap it up, let me take a little nap, put butter on it. Yep, I fed a little butter on there. Oh, but yeah, I love that. put some butter in the pan for like fresh garlic fresh rosemary in there and you just kind of like basted up a little bit with the base it up a little bit yeah it's good it's hard to go wrong

hard to go wrong it's hard to mess up a rabbi be honest with you that's so true that's i remember the bad ones you get like at the Marine Corps birthday ball you're still like they bring out like a rib eye and I'm like that's so bad you know I'll take another one if you got him. I think that guy didn't show up. Give me his. That's good. That's good. I got a speaking of that

add meat to my freezer. I got a sandhill crane hunt coming up. Oh, that's right. Like what next week? Not next week. Yeah, not this coming weekend, but the weekend after. Okay. Okay. Going up to Lubbock to do a sandhill crane hunt.

I heard they got a crane problem up there. They're sending in Trey. Go blast. Rib eye of the sky, baby. So I don't know. I'm curious. Is that what they say? That's what it's called.

It's called ribby of the sky because like the breast of it is like a ribai. Like it's just a super thick chunk of meat. I can't wait to hear about this meat. Yeah, I'm pretty excited about it. So we'll see how it goes. That's nice. What's the limit on them? How many, like, do you get a shoot?

I can shoot a bunch of them or? It's a great question. I feel like it's three, three per person. Okay. That's probably so I should find out before we go. You might want to. Just ask somebody, hey, how many of them are allowed to kill? These giant dinosaurs, yeah.

I hear people get pretty upset when you go over your limit. So I just want to make sure. No, I'm excited about it, man. Going up to love it for it. But that's cool. No, at some point we need to come down because I know we talked about the, getting you a pheasant tail for some fly fishing. I'm in.

I'm in. I was talking to a guy at work today about that. I was like, yeah, I want to hunt. I want to get a pheasant and then take the tail, feather, tie a fly with that, and then go catch a fish with that fly. So that's kind of a. Yeah, the season's super, super short here. I think it's like eight months.

Yeah, it looks like it was pretty short here. I guess there's some ringneck pheasant here hunting here in Utah. They're all over Texas. We'll bring it out here. Oh, yeah, no, no. We'll do it. Get you a pheasant tail. Come on see you.

All right. Any safe rounds, train? Dude, I had one, especially because the Marine Corps birthdays. rolled around I need to pull it up so I'm going this weekend Granddad passed away two weeks ago oh and so we got his

funeral this weekend coming up 100 years old born in 1925 so we did a good lot but wow was a Marine Corps officer with Texas A&M graduated

was supposed to go on the invasion of mainland Japan in World War II, but that got pushed off. So he was in China at the end of World War II and then was in the Frozen Chosen as a weapons company commander. And I think he said when I was talking to him, he didn't really talk about it a ton, but he was in the second or third wave at the landing event on.

Oh my gosh. That's really cool. Wow. It's really, yeah, really cool history. So, but no, had a good life. Robert Gottlitz, the first. The original, the one that started it all. The original, 100 years old, man.

So he had a good life. Yeah. But, no, going up, going up celebrating his life this next weekend. Here's the third generation of Marine. That's cool. That's cool, man. Yeah, yeah. That'll be a good, good celebration.

I think I'm getting, he's, I think I get his, my dad's like it. Hey, I'm going up to kind of finalize everything, is there anything that you want up there? I'm like, man, does he have any Marine Corps stuff? He's like, oh, I have his mammolukes up there. I'm like, I'll take that. So I'm excited about that. That's all. Wow.

Yeah. No, good guy. Lived a great life. That's amazing. Yeah, I don't know. It's always really cool, like to, yeah, just like the lineage and just like, you know, hey, like, all right, you know, he's got a mammoluc sword. your dad's got one and then you've got one and like but like keeping that stuff around and it's

like so i have all these little small things that like oh okay okay i use i use my dad's which was i thought was really cool yeah that's that is really cool that is really cool um so because i remember they were like uh they were like questioning me they're like hey this maim luke doesn't fit you and i go oh this is my dads and apparently there's a marine corps order like hey if it's like It's supposed to be somewhere, like around your ear. Yeah. Yeah, it's supposed to be like right here. But if it's like passed down or like a lineage item from like a previous Marine,

then they're like, oh, yeah, that's fine. Like they were, they're like, that's cool. So that's awesome. But yeah, man. Nope. Yeah. When I got, so, yeah, my dad was in the Navy. But I remember when I was like, I was like, oh, I'm getting promoted to major.

I was, I like, you know, gave me a call or shot up an email and was like, hey, do you have any of like your lieutenant commander like rank insignia from when you were in the Navy? Because the same like, you know, gold oak leaf or whatever. Yeah. So he sent me out a couple, a couple sets of that. So that's what I'm wearing now. And I'm like, that's awesome. All right. I need to hang around for 05 so I can, I can have a pair of his 05 rank insignia to wear.

Yeah. But I was like, yeah, I think stuff like that's just so cool. That's in here, man. But no, brother, that's all I got as far as safe rounds go. Love it. But should we bring this thing down? Let's do it, Trey. You know what to do.
