September comes along, October comes along, November comes along, and the season's still open. You might find a tag. It gives us a chance at a tag that I would have never had a chance at. We'll give some ultralight out here at the end of the podcast. Anything to do with Western Big Game.

Welcome to the Epic Outdoors podcast, powered by Under Armour. Hey everybody, Jason Carter, Adam Bronson, John Peterson. Of course, we got Devin and Wyatt here too. How about that, boys? We're all here today. We're posse. We're still under 10. Under 10 and trying to be outside of 6 feet, but these cords only go stretched so far. They're about 5'6", I think. Yeah. Well, probably get sighted here soon. We also got Chris. He's over there about 10 feet away. On the keyboard, as always. How you doing, Chris? I'm good. Great. Right on. All the numbers looking right, Chris. We're bouncing. Mikes are hot. We're looking good over here. Let's crush this thing. All right. Well, today we just wanted to kind of get together. Of course, we need an update on these two single guys. Well, three kind of single, kind of married, half married, half single. I don't know what you call it. Taken. Claimed.

Claimed and taken. Huh? Whipped. Whoa. John! I kind of feel like my life and relationship has been aired out pretty good on the last few podcasts through phone calls. Let's read the last text from your old gal. Checking up on me. Yeah. She said, let Jason and Adam know our relationship has been strengthened because of the podcast. Yeah. Because of the podcast and the Sunday stroll. Yep. Bring that up. So we are doing some good there. Good. It started bad when you were describing your throes of agony, crawling to the truck, driving to the ER, and she wouldn't answer your call. And you pointed that out that she didn't even take your call. That started rocky. Don't learn our problems. Oh, you said that, not us. But you worked it all out. I need to take advice from some relationship pros like yourselves. I saw that Jason had to hang up on Jana on the last podcast before things got too wild.

And I didn't say that, and I didn't hang up on her. I thought it was healthy if we ended it on a final. On your turn. And it was heading in a direction slightly varying from happy. So you just hit end on your turn? Well, pretty much. Pretty much. That's right. Bye, I love you. Watch and learn, YY. I'm learning fast. We got our paper mags April issue in the mail yesterday. Awesome. It looks awesome. What a great magazine. It covers Nevada, Kansas, Montana, sheep, goat, moose, bison, and antelope. So anyway, cranked forward, no issues whatsoever, fully printed, everything's happy. EMAG was out. Well, it's been what? 10 days or so? Yeah, 10 days. Saturday prior to last Saturday. Yeah. So we're here. Just to reiterate that, as far as everybody, we've been getting plenty of phone calls. A lot of you are maybe sitting at home, not in an office setting anymore. And we're here.

Don't think you can't give us a call, bounce ideas off us and how to apply and things like that. Nothing's really changed. Being a small business has its advantages in a situation like this. We're all here for all intents and purposes. Not one thing has changed. We're here to answer emails, phone calls, all that. So I don't see that changing at all. I don't see how it can change. No, there's papers continuing to be printed on and things are working well, going crazy. It's awesome. So anyway, printers are happy. We're happy. Online's happy. Phones are happy. We're just cranking like normal. So anyway, we have had a lot of guys kind of interested in how this COVID corona type stuff is affecting everything. And honestly, we haven't had that many people even backing out. Maybe a few doing points only. But people want to hunt. You're not going to slow hunters down.

Granted, it's going to affect some people much harder than others. And an understandable soul, you've got to take care of your responsibilities, what's most important. But yeah, I think that's probably the only real change we've started to see some people is maybe develop more of a points only approach. But I don't even want to characterize that as a big movement yet. It isn't. Been a few people that have done that. One thing that I guess I would point out, maybe plug ourselves a little bit or our service, $100 a year membership to Epic Outdoors. Gets the magazine. Gets the access to the consultants and all the hunts. Gets everything there. And I would contend, especially in a time like this, getting the magazine, getting it timely, getting it in your hands to be able to make a really good informed decision on how to apply or why to apply or if even to apply in a certain state.

That $100, you'd save, I'll bet, three to five times that in wise choices on either how you apply in a wasted application somewhere or whether you add something or do a state wrong. You know, apply for somewhere that doesn't have random tax in Wyoming for elk or deer in some cases or sheep or moose. You know, you're saving $200 if you just know how we're not to apply. Or in the case of some states, do you just skip them this year? Just sit them out and save a couple hundred bucks with some of the rising costs that some of these states are, you know, making us pay to play, so to speak. Well, just like not, maybe, maybe, you know, not partaking in, say, the point system for Wyoming if you're just starting out for, like, sheep and moose. Yeah. Right there, that's a savings. We saved a lot of people some money on that.

Just saying, one or two pieces of information is worth the hundred bucks, worth the price of admission. That's right. And Bronson and I, what really brought it home is we've been applying our kids and our wives, right? Right. This last week or so, you get a little downtime, and we're like, we're applied all the way out through hunt states that are due in mid-May. Well, because it's fun. And we're bored. Right? We're bored. So we go home, we come to work. That's right. We come to shed hunt a little bit on the side. And you can only talk about everybody else's application so long before we're wanting to apply ourselves. So we're applying ourselves. I apply me, Jana, Colton, and Sean, okay? Four adults in Nevada. What do you think that costs me? $1,200. $1,000? It could have. It was dang close to a grand. Okay. I'm just saying $100 for the mag per year, it's nothing.

It's chicken feed compared to what these states are costing us, especially if you're applying for your families. And then you add that times a few other states, right? Colorado. You get points for Colorado, sheep, goat, moose, whatever pretty soon. Wyoming, bison. Did you do that? That's affirmative. Did you notice they smoke some bison on, what was it, KSL or Fox? I think it was KSL. Yeah, but it looked like to me, Wyatt, you could correct me if I'm wrong, Wyatt, I think, did a little reading on that as well. It looked like it was from the northern Yellowstone. Yeah, more up towards the Gardner herd. That's where they had a lot of tribal harvest as well as just slaughter, just to try to get the numbers down. I don't quite understand the tribal thing versus everybody having an opportunity to take some meat home. But anyway, but they did.

They allowed the tribal to go in and be able to grab onto some bison meat and take it home. What are they, they've killed like 800 and something, Wyatt? Did you read? Yeah, 600 to 900 or something. They're shooting for 600 to 900 and I think they've smoked, I want to say 800 so far, 800 and something. Out of 4,600, they're trying to curb the herd. Southern Yellowstone herd and Grand Teton herd sound affected and one of those bulls is waiting for a bullet. Bronson's wanting to do a smash and grab for a Wyoming bison. I don't think that. And what did our buddy McKenzie Sims say? He said that he was 52 days into the two bulls that they've killed. Okay, but one was extremely long. The other one was a little more of a smash and grab. Yes, they kind of figured out what they were doing. I am not planning a smash and grab. No? No. Moose in Montana? Moose in Montana.

What did you end up doing up there? Well, I haven't. It's time. I know. I got a month. But regarding the bison there, a grab implies shoot, drag the truck and drive home. Yeah. That doesn't apply. You're not really doing that. You're going to winch with two or three winches, 14 friends. And then you're worried about because you're near. Going to get the tag and drag guys maybe. I don't know. That's right. Anybody that can help you get every salvageable piece of meat in your truck because you're right there in front of the world. You've got national parks. You've got national elk refuges. You don't want flank states going. You're lazy acts through 14 different states trying to get home. There's nothing about shooting a bison anywhere that is a smash and grab. And you're trying to beat the grizzlies. Oh, good point. Yeah. That's a little research I need to do.

I need to find out what the mean. Hopefully they're burrowed in a den. I've got to find a mean denning date for all females with cubs at least. And you need to do, we have some print deadlines. Keep in mind during those time frames, you've got to work in and around the print deadlines. Well, it starts August 15th. Okay. Goes till end of January. That's my point. A lot of guys went to the end of January one year. First year, Sims was up there. All right. Well, anyway. Enough about that. Even if I pull out, I don't think I'm getting that money back. No. Not for a little while. But the good thing is, is it'll be a little bit of a birthday gift or something when you get that money back. What are you going to do with it? You going to buy anything? Well, it goes right back on the card. So really, it's not my money. Well, I don't know. Pay the card off. Pay the card off. Get a little surplus.

Wife never knows. It's all semantics. These are all part of the relationship. It's all semantics. Carter, if I go pay that $4,500 off and then get it back, it's just, it's the show game. We've talked about that before with our wives. It doesn't matter. That's right. Let's just let it come back. Anyway. Anyway. All right. Well. I did hear this. I heard something today before we maybe dive into some other stuff. I heard the cooped up ness, however we word that, causes us to talk about and research some weird things. And I heard something today, Jason. I need you to clarify. Come on. What I think I heard. I didn't bring any sticky notes to the game today. Come on. I know. But this is the only thing I wrote down. This just barely happened. And I heard you either talking to somebody or asking me for, and it sounded like you were talking about for yourself, but just clarify.

That's all we're doing. Maybe I heard it wrong. We all have offices near each other. We have windows. Not applying for cow tags. Okay. Well, it was researching over-the-counter archery cow elk opportunities. Take it from here. No. There was a client that wanted to know some of the cow elk opportunities in Colorado and Utah. I thought that this... I went through. I didn't research it, but I went through and made some simple... All right. Just making sure. You made the statement you're getting low on elk meat earlier. That's true. I am. And so I didn't know if that's where you were going. I have a hard time shooting mamas. I just... But I'm not saying it doesn't need to be done in certain cases. I'm not saying that people shouldn't do it. I'm just saying I like the bulls they produce. I'm just saying. I don't know. I have a hard time with it. Just making sure.

I didn't know if we had another hunt on the schedule that we needed to all be aware of and land around. No. Maybe videographer. No. Never killed a cow or a doe. Ever. Okay. Believable? Yes or no? I'll just have to take your word. Call me a liar. I can't refute that in any way. All right. Followed you along. How about you guys? You guys killed any mamas? Oh, yeah. Been there, done that. Boom. Smashing crap. Elk meat's great. Dude, it is. It is actually awesome. John? Nope. Chris? No. Anyway, not saying it's not... I mean, with a car or a truck. Multiple. Wyatt, we know that that little toys... Has it not seen that? Chris, yeah. Wyatt's little truck has a permafrown. That was a Pontagon doe, actually. Was it? Yeah. Crossing Highway 89 a little too late at night. Before the fence? No. It's in the gap? More north. Oh, closer to town. North country. Oh, 89.

And you were going downhill with the wind at your back, probably? Yeah. Yeah. Couldn't get stopped in time. It just kind of bounced off the truck and got off and ran off. Happy ever. Got up and ran off. I don't know if it bounced off because it looked like it wore it. But... Oh, no. It just bent a little bit of plastic. I mean, it wasn't even hurt. I don't know, Bronson. It looks like a frame tweak to me. It looks like a frame tweak. The bumper is tinfoil if you walk out there and look at it. I think, Wyatt, because we brought up on the podcast about possibly making him an offer on this stick shift four banger for one of our kids. Six cylinder here. It's a six? Yeah. What? Okay. Well, that... Yep. And he got... I'm more interested. But now, he's defending this thing as a tough, rugged son of a gun. Oh, yeah. I mean... The other day... I'm saying the deer definitely won.

The other day, he says, you know, I did go visit my old lady. And if you... Call me a liar, but it made it. I actually drove to her house and back. I'm like, no way. Wow. It has, what, three weekends in a row or something now? Geez. Borrowed time. That's what they call that. Hey, he's went to visit her three times in a row. Going strong. That's a big deal. That's awesome. You're doing good there, Wyatt. That's probably helped your relationship more than we have. Never know. And then you've made it. You've made it back. That's good. We haven't done anything. All right. So, enough of the doe and cow stories. What are we going to... Yeah. What are we going to... Let's... Should we call somebody real quick? Yeah, we started that last time. Let's try it. Call somebody at random. Do a little cold call. Cold call. Let's call... At the cold call series. Who do you want to... Heffy. Jeff?

Call Heffy. Jeff, John. I think he's pouring concrete or doing a foundation or something. No, hold on. Let's see what he's got to say. Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

Hello? No, that's what he's going to say. I'm just thinking. What's happening? I missed it. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. You're on the Epic Outdoors podcast, John. Where are you at today, boss? I'm on the podcast. Oh, geez. Where are you at? Where are you at today? I am down in a foundation shooting grade on some grade stakes. Oh, this is your house. Whatever, whatever. This is my house, yes. You're wearing the surveyor hat today. That's what I just heard. Well, not surveyor. Just concrete guy hat. That's basically what I'm wearing. Got the kids working? Slave labor? Oh, they're doing school right now. They got about, oh, half an hour, and then they'll probably be over. Home schooling with the corona. You guys got nothing better to do but call and bug me. What the heck? I'm having a news happening somewhere. We're just wondering about your application plans for this year in Colorado.

Oh, yeah. You're going to put me on the spot. First, I'm just following suit after you. So you tell me what you're doing. Oh. I'll just like what I'm doing. Jeff, Jeff. Hey, Jeff, have you been listening to the most recent podcast? You know, I missed the last one. I've had a busy few days here. All right. So, yeah, I need to get caught up. I missed the last one. There is some opportunities there that we talk about in Colorado. It might give you some plans. It might help you out. Ooh. Jeff, there was also – I better check it. There was also – you're out – so Jeff's building a house right now, and you had – out on your job site, you had a – I don't know the right – port-a-potty, right? You had one sitting there. Yes. Like three weeks ago, and you went there, and it had like four rolls of TP in it the night before, and the next morning they were stolen, right? All everything out of it.

Stolen. Well, so the guys that set it up, man, they had a bunch of just rolls stint piled inside the – like inside the port-a-potty. Like, well, I – like after the whole craze about the coronavirus still, I go there, and there's nothing. Go on. I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. Lock your port-a-potty at night. Yeah, if you're after port-a-potty toilet paper, like that is – that is just one step away from – That's like 300 – I mean, that's true desperation. That's like 300 grit sandpaper, pretty much. Yeah. You put a roll of – if you put a roll of toilet paper in your window, on your dash, you're going to get broken, too. Oh, yeah. You may. You may just do it. Yeah. And the other thing you worry about now is if they're desperate enough to do that, I'm a little worried about somebody just leaving any of the port-a-potty. I don't know. I mean, what's next here, right? I don't know.

I might take it down and just have a shovel out on the front of your lot and say, hey, we need to go. Go in the back and take the shovel, boss. I mean, I don't know. Just social distance. I don't think you want to – I don't think you want to be liable, Jeff, for a congregational place like a port-a-potty on your property. I'm just calling a spade a spade. Yeah, that might be a liability factor. We better check the insurance policy and make sure – So, Jeff, I got a question. So, when you're renting at the moment just because you're in between homes. Sold one. Sold one. Now you're trying to build one and doing it with child labor. Are you adhering to the child labor laws and things like that? I promise you I'm not. I don't think anybody's out working that's able to come and check you anyway. I think everybody's safe. You can go do anything you want nowadays.

They can't check me from their office. That's true. That's true. No, they're not going to. They might get the corona. You're fine. And your boys are happy. They're making a little bit of cash and they're getting their hands dirty. Oh, they'll be so glad to get back in school. You're working them, huh? I'm going to have them about where I am. I thought – your wife told my wife you guys might just continue with this homeschooling. I don't know if that's true or not. I don't know. That's her department. Not mine. I'm not taking on that. And plus, I'm not smart enough to teach them anything anyway. I mean, they sort of talk about homework, you know, what they're learning in school. I'm like, oh, that's about my bakery. My kids don't even talk to me about school. If it's not about hunting, they think I know nothing. And they're kind of right.

But anyway, real quick on the question was, is the nesting – mamas like to nest. And I'm just wondering, like you're supposed to be out of that house like by May. And you're supposed to be in the one that you're building, right? And so how does that play into mama wanting to nest and the pressure that you feel as a provider and a husband? With COVID-19 superimposed upon it all. Well, the one thing that I think we have decided that is a major advantage is rents should be going down. We should be able to find a place, a desperate person who will let us stay there for a couple months. That's my biggest concern right now. I don't think so. How are we making that – I'm just – I think in tough, tough times, usually rents go up. Ooh, I hope they don't. Bad economies mean rent goes up. I'm paying a retarded amount right now for the place I'm at.

The good thing is it's getting warmer and you own a camp trailer. So if push comes to shove, you can put – We might have a camper right here hooked up to the office. Yeah, we might. I'm going to – John, keep an eye on the back electrical thing. And Jeff can plumb. He can plumb into the sewer. That's what I'm worried about. That's what I'm worried about. He needs to be paying his portion. Well, okay. Now, this is the thing that I've already decided. Jason's got this great big basement. It's only got like two kids in it. So I've got a lot of food storage. I've got a lot – Hey, bring your cash, bring your food. There's a kitchen down there. There's a bathroom. He's got an empty safe. He'll store any cash you need in there. Whatever. I got – Yep, bring your cash, bring your food. How much toilet paper you got? Got enough toilet paper for 13 days. You've got to pick on family members.

It's just – Anytime you invite somebody over or anything, even if it wasn't the COVID-19 situation. It's just a BYOTP. Bring it up. Right on, right on. All right. We'll do good things down there. Well, get back to work. Okay, man. Make sure it drains and grades and your pipes aren't covered in concrete and you're yelling at your plumber because you got the, you know, cement guy hat on right now and the plumber hat's on tomorrow and you're mad because the pipes are full of concrete. We're still busy. That's right. We're still busy down here, so come by once in a while. Will do. Will do, man. All right, you guys. Be good. Talk to us. See you. You never know with Jeff. Perfect. That's just what we're looking for out of this segment. Who are you calling now? Is it ringing? No, it's not. No, no. So, anyway, where does that bring us? What do you guys got going on in your office?

What have you been up to, Wyatt? Just still working on Colorado. That deadline's coming up quick still. It's April 7th. Six days now. Six days, so. Yeah. Yeah. What are some of the – we hinted last week, I don't want to belabor it, but anything new, tips to be able to get in? It's, you know, the whole port of username and password is probably the biggest trick, right? Yeah, just to get that figured out and get into your account and get applied. Like Adam said earlier, it doesn't seem like people are – I've got that question a lot. People are calling in saying, you know, are you feeling like guys shying away from it at all? And we're just not. You know, guys are calling in, and it's not whether they're going to apply or not. It's where to apply. Right. Right. That's right. I feel the same thing. And we do have a few cancellations. There has been some of that with the fully guided hunts.

Devin, that's your department. Tell us a little bit about that. Yeah, just getting those updates all the time, you know. Every day new stuff comes through, so. Yeah. So you've got a few of those. You've got some people that are looking. Yeah, and I don't think – it hasn't been – there hasn't been that many. Been some turkey hunts. We talked to a guy or two today, right? Yeah, turkey hunts. You want to go kill some turkeys? I mean, turkey's got a free pass this year, right? And some spring bears. Think about spring bears in Alaska. Well, or think about like San Juan, Bronson, where you're from down there. They got – where you got – you can't camp down there now. What did they say? What about this pulling over? You pull over two or three times, you get a fine? Yeah. Yeah, any non-resident down there, supposedly, if you get pulled over three times, it's a fine. You're not –

Not pulled over for speeding. We're talking about you outside of your county. Show me a driver's license if it's not in San Juan County. Yep. You're in violation, right? Strike one. Three times, 2,500 straight to jail, right? Sounds like they kind of had to impose that because, you know, Grand County did something like that. Moab. And kind of moved everyone south and – Displaced all the Moab folks. Well, a lot of people like to go visit. That's some gorgeous country. It is. Yeah. You know, but it's going to hurt us as hunters. And so, Devin, you came up with a plan, a solution. You go in overnight. Huh? What? I'm just saying, if it was August, the bow hunt was here or something, you think we're going to stay at home? Well, I don't think so. I mean, yeah, yeah, you know, we would, but middle of the night, I'd be – Quote, would. Yeah. You'd be getting in the little brown rig you got.

You'd have to get to your unit. Yeah, you'd have to get to your unit and just stay there. And then have somebody drop you off. Well, no, just hide the little brown rig in a little wash. You could hide that in a ditch. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's only like six feet tall. You throw a camo tarp over that thing, you're done, man. Some ghillie tarp. It makes a great blind. Yeah, good coyote rig. They can't see it. Down there, all those spring turkeys and spring bears might be – They're going to be frolicking together. I don't know about that. Yeah, it'll be interesting. He's took it on the chin pretty hard last year. It'll be interesting to see what happens, you know. Yeah. There's a lot of that going on. I can't wait for turkey season just because it's something. Well, it's something, and you might be by yourself because everybody's hanging tight, you know, like they should be.

I think we've got 16 days to Arizona. Isn't that when that starts for our kids? Yeah. I think it's 17. It is. No, I want – yeah, 16 – somewhere in there for the youth turkey hunting Arizona. Over the counter for kids. That's the best opportunity in the world. I love that. Naive birds. So you've got some openings, and you're also keeping a list of the guys that want some of those hunts, like some of the cancellations. So there's guys looking to go. Yeah, yeah. If you're looking for a specific species or hunt or something, you know, I mean, call me, and we'll put you on the list. If something comes up, we'll – Yeah. I mean, I go through it all the time, you know. Do you? Yeah, if something comes up. Yeah, right on. We do. We keep an alignment. We keep a list of it. Okay. And we realize Hunter's plans change. You draw a tag or two, and now you're not looking for a cancellation.

Call Dev and say, hey, I'm not on your hot list anymore. But if May or early June comes around when, you know, 90% of the states are done drawing especially, that's the time gets pretty critical. For sure, yeah. Because from June on is when final deposits – Whoa. Whoa. Is that a censorship? Jeff butt dialed me. He hit me. Wow. And we can call him and give him some more grief. But he ended that fast. That scared the crap out of me. Yeah. Turn that volume down. Let's call Cheston over at Phone Scope, see what he's got going on real quick. Is there quarantined up there in Beaver, Utah? Yeah. Well, he's back and forth, Beaver to Cedar. I don't know. Let's see what he's got to say. Hello. Where are you at now? I'm at my office. Are you? Yeah. Doing work or are you just acting like you're doing work telling your wife you do work?

Well, you know, I told her last night, I said, trust me, if I don't have anything to do, I will not be down there. I would much rather be home doing something out in the yard. Such a liar. Playing with the kids. Picking up the dog crap. You're such a liar. We're all here. We can't bite our tongues anymore. I'm live right now. No way. Nobody says that. I want to be right by your side, honey, digging ditches. Me and you. Well, hell yeah. Plant flowers. Plant flowers. Tulips. Perennials. I got to do something to relieve the stress and pressure in my life. Nothing like gardening and flowering. I love it. You don't have stress and pressure, do you? No. PhoneScope's doing good. What do you got going on? PhoneScope, cooler trays, pyro putty. What don't you do, Cheston? Oh, man.

Like I told you, the only I don't do is a hunting magazine because you guys would do it better than me and I wouldn't like that. That's right. Remember that. Remember that. I will. I've told you that for years.

Have you seen a rash on, you know, has the pyro putty been flying out like toilet paper as well lately? Oh, dude, it's been crazy. Yeah, it's literally just been. Has it? I can't believe how much we are selling. Doomsday. Come on. Just emergency essentials. Must have for your 72-hour kit. People literally are ready for everything to be done and they've got to build fires. They've got to boil their water. They couldn't buy it in store. Holy cow. You know, I had to, so I had to buy an engine for my little Toyota. And so when I called the guys to get it, they were like, you've got to wait in line. This is like, we've got huge orders coming in like crazy. I said, for what? He goes, the preppers. The preppers are just coming out. Yeah. Coming out in force, getting their cars ready, everything ready so they can hunker down and be able to get an extra engine. I don't know, you know.

So anyway, I had to wait. My turn. So anyway. It's funny. There you go. I don't know. I'd have never guessed. So what about the phone scope side of things? Things good? Yeah. Things are great on the phone scope side. People are still getting out. You know, that's one thing that's great. I've spent more time out in the mountains with my three kids and my wife in the last three weeks because after work, that's the best place for me to isolate. I cannot just sit and do nothing. It's just not me. So we've been burning pyro putty and cooking hot dogs. And we've literally, you know, it's honestly, it's been awesome. I can't complain one bit. I feel like it's something that the world has got away from that needs to be brought back to life. The basics of killing an animal, roasting on a fire and eating it. I mean, let's just boil it down. We all came from that.

So the women that have been complaining too much that all we do is work and hunt now don't have a leg to stand on because we're doing nothing but family time. That's right. Nothing but family time. And they're grateful that we can hunt and provide if needed. They don't want to admit that, but they are. They are. That is true. No question. No question. They think they've got it good. I did have a good friend of mine that says, you know, it's nice. This COVID stuff is making it to where my kids are out digging holes in the backyard and playing games together and actually have a childhood like we had. Who knew? You know? Instead of in their bedroom on their phone. Yeah. On their devices or going out with friends and being on their devices. You know what I mean? Yes. That's true. Kind of crazy. Well, tell us about the pyro putty. You got anything in the works? Anything new? You're a marketer.

You're a heck of a good marketer. Sometimes you give us a good idea here and there. Tell us what's new at your place, pyro putty-wise or anything else. Yeah. So a couple of cool things we got. So pyro putty, we've released up at the Salt Lake Hunting Expo a brand new blend called the Ultra Light. It's the lightest formulation per volume. It still has as much as our other blends. But this stuff lights up like you've never seen. We kind of did this more for your back hunters, for your sheep hunters.

It's something that everybody's long wanted. The operating temperature is ideal for your hunting and your outdoory type technology. We've tried it in the snow. And it burns when we're snowmobiling one day, but it doesn't light as easy as our winter blend. But when you're going to be hunting, this is going to be more of your prime time. It's raining. Let's get a fire going. It's cool stuff. And so I need to get you guys some stuff over to play with, and we can even give some away on the podcast. Let's give some away right now. Yeah. Chris, we'll figure it out. Are you good with it? Yeah, let's do it. We'll do an announcement at the end of the podcast on how to enter and things like that through social media and things. Chris, you can figure that out later. Let's do it. Give some of that out. What was the – So why the – I mean, why does one light better than another? Yeah.

Go through the blends, cold, hot, and what do you call this? Ultra? Yeah, so I will. The ultra light. And this is something – yeah, the ultra light. So basically we have our winter blend, which is our blue blend. We have our summer blend, which is orange. We have an eco blend, which is green, go green, right? We've talked about this. I believe before everybody laughed. Well, it's just what I think is funny. You're burning stuff. I'm just going to say it. The more SKUs you have, the more money you make. And I'm just wondering, is it all the same stuff and you just add coloring or is it truly different? That's what I want to know. Is it truly coloring? That's what I want to know, Justin. Well, here's literally kind of what I told Ben before. I said, tell me the difference. Because if we only need one SKU, I don't only have one SKU.

It's easier for me to maintain, putting in dealers and distributors and all that. And so we took a can of orange, threw it in the freezer, took a can of blue, threw it in the freezer. And you pull it out. To get the orange out, you got to use your knife because it's literally a thicker viscosity. Thicker. So back to talking about engines, we're talking motor oil viscosity. Yeah. It's like running 530 versus 1030, right? And so the blue one's thinner viscosity. So when it's really cold, you can still get it out and it's pliable. And yet the synthetic fibers, which is what originally light up, those need to be exposed. And so in the summer, when you go to try to light the blue, it's going to be more sticky. And you're not going to be able to get the fibers exposed because it's not meant to be used in that temperature.

But if you take the summer and pull it out, you'll be able to see the white, just perfectly fine fibers show up. And so that is literally the only question or complaint I have ever had with a company is somebody saying, hey, I can't get it to light. They're using the wrong blend at the wrong time. So there really is. Yeah. Exactly. So will the winner, like if I buy a winter blend and throw it in my four-wheeler, will it work all seasons? Will it work all seasons? I mean, you could definitely get to work, yes. But you need to understand that it's going to be a lot. It's going to take a little bit more time to feather out the fibers, if that makes sense. Okay. If you're trying to light it with a spark or something, that's when it really comes down to picking the right blend. If you're going to use a flame, then it'll light. You're good. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's what I want.

I'll always blow it. And so how does the ultralight, I believe you called it, is that what it's called? Ultralight blend? Yes. Or is it a hybrid kind of in between the two or what? It is. It's kind of a hybrid, and then it's got more flammability, so it's going to put off a bigger flame. Oh, yeah. So it'll – exactly. It's made for those harsh environments when you really need to get a fire going. I believe Chris did a great job when he did a video, and he said, he's like, dude, this stuff's amazing. He was out, and it started raining and snowing on him. And he sent me a text, and I says, well, would you – I says, you need to get a video of that. He's like, I've already got it for you. Don't worry. So it puts the pyro in pyro putty. That's what you're saying. Exactly. Yep. So we're really excited for this one. What a twist. Gotcha. We won't even charge you for that, Cheston. Gee.

Yeah, we can even start making jingles over here. Jingles. Yeah. Jingles. Jingles. New hashtags. New hashtags. Anything like that. Well, since we're on and Bronson's come up with the ideas, I do need to tell everybody something. But he was asking me at the expo once. He came over, and I was demoing the pyro. I mean, like, literally, you can take it and stick it on a 90-degree wall, and it'll sit there and burn. And he's seen all that, and after everybody left, he comes over. He's like, so you're telling me I can stick that anywhere, and it'll burn? I says, yeah. So if somebody kills a bigger deer than me, I can stick it to the side of their truck, and it'll sit there and burn? I says, you bet. Come on. It's like Bronson. That sounds exactly like something he would do. I do know. Sounds like a dog crap. There's a lot of bald guys. There's a lot of bald guys walking around the expo.

That was not me. I don't know who you mixed up. So, Carter, literally, you need to keep an eye on him. Oh, no question. I was honestly thinking about telling you, we may need to have him see our buddy, Paul Marshall. Oh, there you go. Gas can. The whole gas can. I'm kind of thinking it's all coming together. The whole gas can, Buck. Paul Marshall, we got this. All right. That's good. I'm glad. You're getting her atoms mixed up. I don't know who you're talking about. That's good, Justin. Good stuff. Good stuff. All right, guy. Well, all right. Sounds good. We'll give some ultralight out here at the end of the podcast. Yeah, let's give some out. Let's do it. Send a bunch of the blends over and charge John, would you? Let's do it. In two seconds, I got to tell you guys. Yeah, I'll definitely do. John's great at paying. He is. He's good. He's good at it. No, I know. I know. He's good at it.

Yeah, he's awesome. All right. A couple of advances real quick on phone scope cases. We got to talk about that. Yeah, I saw you came out with something for the iPhone 11 or something. So, yeah, all of our new cases, one thing that you're going to definitely get using our new cases, you'll be able to pick the lens you want to use. You know, these phones are coming with three lenses, soon to be six and then 12. Literally a nightmare and a headache for us. All right. We allow the user to pick the lens they want to use because sometimes you need a video up close and sometimes you got a video far away. More skews. I'm seeing it. More skews. Yeah, exactly. Headaches. But we took our cases and we implemented a free-floating technology behind it. Okay. So where your phone is not touching any physical hard plastic at all.

So on all four corners, you'll see that we have a – it's a special silicone shock-absorbing material. That way, if you drop your phone on all four corners, it's going to dampen the shock out of it. So with the wind, a little bit of wind, maybe it'll just kind of roll with things a little bit. I don't know. Yeah, you know. Well, no, we're just – literally, we're trying to make it to where – Take the shake. We're hard on stuff. Yeah, we wanted to take the shake out of it. And then we've got open foam strips on the very back. But what's great with free-floating is you know when you put it in your pocket, you pull it out, put it in your pocket, it always gets that dirt, that dust, that lint. This allows it to basically flow through the case without sticking there, scratching the living crap out of your phone when you pull it out.

So it's something that we rolled out with the S10s, and then we rolled into the iPhone 11s and Pros and all that. So you'll be seeing that coming out. And so that was one thing I wanted to get you, boys. We've got to get you guys upgraded phones. Taking technology from the rifle stock makers. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's exactly it. That's, you know, you can't argue. Stealing ideas. Stealing ideas. Stealing ideas. No. No. Implementing them into a different industry. Yes. Self-emprotection. Using synergy within the hunting industry to work together, collaborative. Man. He's on it. For the betterment of Justin. He's on it. Yeah.

No. So we've got some fun things, man. I hope everybody stays safe and get this crap over with. Oh, yeah. The more part is is Paraputty is COVID-19 approved. It will keep you socially distanced, and you'll be able to have a good time. And cook some hot dogs. Yeah. Yeah. And do both. Right on. Well, we appreciate it. We'll let you get back to work. We just thought we'd give you a holiday this morning. Good. Good. That's some good insight to Bronson. We really appreciate it. We need to know who we're working with. We've worked with him for probably 15 years, but it's nice to learn a little bit more about the guy. I'd like to see documentation about that. Because that didn't happen. And now you know why. That's why I hunt elk and not deer, because I don't want my truck to burn out. I totally get that. Now, and just imagine if you were hunting sheep. That's for another podcast. Yeah. Yeah.

It's a good podcast. Okay. Sounds good, buddy. Okay, guys. Thank you. You bet. Talk to you later. Bye.

Good stuff, Bronson. Thanks. Everybody's, you know, just got a few. Screws loose. They're all cooped up, and their memories are getting foggy. That's what I'm saying.

Oh, heck. I'm not picking up what he put down on that. No. No. You know, there is, so Colorado did have some, you know, where they were taking surveys and whatnot, where you could submit your feedback on how the turn back system was working. Yeah. And they're talking about when you draw a tag and decide you don't want to use it, you turn it back in, either get a refund of your points. That's what we're talking about. Right, and that system's been, for some, they've liked it. They've been able to, I guess, capitalize, pick up tag. We've actually, in our office, picked up a few of those, a few of us over time, but it's a little bit tricky. You've got to be sitting at a computer. Feels like 24-7. Boy, it does. I mean, there are parameters within it. Tuesday through, not Monday through Friday. And they shut at 5 o'clock or 4 or whatever it is. Yeah, like 9 to 4 or something.

And anyway, and every three minutes it's updated in there. Anyway, but it did allow for everybody to have a chance. And tags came up even when the season started. Oh, yeah. And so, but anyway, our good friend Clint, he's gotten his fair share of tags and his family by doing this process. I was just kind of wondering his opinion, maybe. Should we give him a call? Call him. Let's see. Now, honestly, Clint has no idea. He might not even pick up. John, he doesn't answer John's calls. John's going to ask him about it. This is going to be good. If he answers, we got him.

What kind of obscure hunting situation are you working on now? What's that? What do you got in the works now? You got anything good for us? No, I've just been, today I'm tilling my garden and trying to keep all my kids busy doing yard work. You're doing the COVID dad duty. Yeah. It doesn't play very good. No, but all these women that say that we work and hunt too much and aren't with our kids enough, they're full of it, I would say. Oh, yeah. Wouldn't you think? Oh, yeah. Okay. So what are you doing? Well, we're doing a podcast here and we got you live and we had a few questions for you. Okay. Okay. What do you got? Well, as somebody that is capitalized, if I can use that word, on the Colorado Turnback Tag system of yesterday, what do you think about some of the new proposed changes or the new survey that's out right now? Or would you like to see it remain the same?

I would prefer to see it remain the same. Why? Right now. Why, Clint? I've been able to obtain a few tags from me, friends, and family members due to the, you know, I've been able to take advantage of the program. Let's put it that way. No, and not advantage, meaning you've just been able to take part in it and it's been good to you. You've dedicated yourself because it's not something you can do casually, right? Yeah. Well, I've been doing that since they, since they started the reissue process and the leftover tags and the reissue. It used to be that some of the first tags that I was able to get, it was when the, they would have the once a week, they would come out with a list and in the morning at nine o'clock, everybody would get on and try to get those tags. And it was basically a race to see whose computer was the fastest and whose internet speed was the fastest.

And the system would always log down and bog down and you would, you'd get it into your cart and you'd be waiting for a half hour and then you may or may not actually get the tag when it, when you finally caught to the. Guys with dial up service in Modena, Utah probably wouldn't get a tag. No, they're not going to get it. No, not going to get it all. And then they came to the news. So they've been in the last two years is the tags randomly appear. And I think that's the fairest way to do it. It does tend to benefit a guy. If you're willing to sit there and days and days and days, like they update that list every five minutes. So if you're willing to get on there and look at that list every five minutes when it updates and you're the fast one that knows how to, you know, get all that stuff entered into the system and get checked out faster than anybody else.

I just think it's a more fair and equitable way to do it. The people at the division don't even know when those tags are going to come available. And so they can't give their buddy a heads up or anything like that. It's a total random process. And that's what I like about it. No insider trading is what I'm hearing. That's a good point. And what I like about it too is these tags come about for months. And so it's not likely we have this secondary draw process. It's a one-time shot. Here you go. And we're going to distribute tags. It's more like if you did your schedules change, whatever, September comes along, October comes along, November comes along, and the season's still open, you might find a tag. And so they're just constantly updating this. Yeah. And I like it. It gives us a chance at a tag that I would have never had a chance at.

And in the past, I've, you know, some people like to complain about the process, but when you're complaining about it. What's the tag worth to you? Right. And I'm like, I don't want to complain because the more complaints they get, the less likely that we're able to actually get these tags. And I don't want to look a gift worse in the mouth on this one because I'm just grateful that I have an opportunity to get tags that are turned back like this. Well, dude, so last year, tell us about, tell us about your hunt in Colorado. You got a turn back tag and you went over there and did a smash and grab on 187 inch. Well, yeah. Well, yeah. I killed the 185. My brother killed the 187. My brother's kid killed the 197. So all on turnbacks, all on turnbacks. All on turnbacks. And my, and my cousin also on a turnback tag, he's able to shoot like a 178, 179 buck.

One of these tags was when the season was on, wasn't it? Yes. The last tag was my cousin. And we happened to finish one of my brother's hunt during third season. And we went out and my cousin had an elk tag. So we went out for the morning elk hunt after my brother had shot his buck and we hadn't seen anything good. And so we thought, you know what? At nine o'clock, the division opens. And after this hunt starts currently, the way it was last year, you had to be, you had to pick it up from the division office. You couldn't get it from any license agent. You just had to get it strictly from the division office. So at nine o'clock it came open and we went down and we parked in the parking lot at the division office. And we just waited there and we just watched the list. And walked in. After about an hour and a half of watching that list, we saw a good tag come available.

And so my cousin, he went running in there and he went in and he pushed open the door and ran in there. And I think they thought they were getting held up or something. Yeah. He just comes smashing. Get out the way. Get out the way. Right now. Who's the fastest person that can get me a tag? And so there was a gal there and she was pretty fast and he, they got through the process. They took his ID number, his CID, got the credit card, processed the whole transaction and he got the tag and then he was jumping up and down, yelling like a school girl, all happy at this tag that he got. And you ran out and hunted a couple of days. And we went out and went out and hunted like two or three days and killed him a good buck. So like 50 bucks, I want to say. Huh? Oh, it was, it was good. It was. And, uh, the division people, they were super happy. I mean, we were, they were excited for us.

He was excited. This was a tag that normally takes, I think it takes over 20 points. It does. So, so part of that Clint was they'll do that after they go through the whole process of trying to give it to somebody else and utilize their points. It finally comes out during the season and it didn't cost him any points. He actually gained a point from, from the regular draw process. Didn't cost him a single point. He just had to pay the cost of the tag. So when, when does this, when does this survey process end? Isn't it soon? I don't know. They're putting a cap on the survey. If you go onto the, I think it's the CPW page and you go to the big game section and it says they're asking for surveys. They're putting a cap at 3000 surveys and they ask you some questions that, you know, have you hunted Colorado before? Just some basic questions.

And they ask what your opinion is on stuff and, you know, get on there and give them your opinion. I give them my opinion. And one thing that they're considering doing is, um, there've been some complaints in the past. And this is a complaint that I've had and I've hesitated to ever complain to them because I don't want to mess up the system, but the really good tags, the tags take more than five points to get for residents. Those tags. Generally, you're only going to see those tags come available after the season starts. I know. And part of it is the process they go through. They have to get the, they have to call the next people in line for those tags to see if those people want them. And sometimes they don't get through the list or that's a tedious process. I don't know all the ins and outs, but sometimes those tags don't become available. Until the hunt starts.

And the only way in the past you've been able to get them once the hunt starts is you've got to be there in person. So as a non-resident, we just happened to be there in Colorado and took advantage of it, but you can't like, uh, get in your car and drive over and get one when it becomes available because it'll be gone by the time you get there. And they're considering, they're taking, they're considering changing that to where you can buy it online or through any license agent. And so that's a change they're considering. And that's part of that survey is they asked you about that. So if one came available, you could buy it in Utah and then drive to, once you knew you had the tag, then drive to Colorado and hunt the remaining days of the hunt. Yep. Go drive over there and pick it up and you can just pick it up.

You have two options when you check out, they'll either mail it to you or you can fulfill it by person. Go over and pick it up in person and just pick it up in person. You guys have gotten Gunnison tags in the past? Yep. We've got Gunnison tags.

Um, Eagle County, everything. Eagle County tags. Um, we've had, I, as a result, it was probably not super good on my marriage this last year. I mean, I was in Colorado for a lot of second. Doing nothing but kids and family time right now. Making up for that right now. Make sure you put it on the calendar. It works. You got to keep track of this stuff. Oh yeah. It's, I've, I really enjoyed it. I mean, we've been able to take advantage of some tags. And do it. And you got to play the, you know, part of their considering if they want to keep randomly having the tags pop up on a list, they're considering going back to the system where the once a week they come out with a list or, and, uh, then publish that list and have everybody available at the same time. And I don't like that one as much. It doesn't seem quite as fair to me. It's whoever has the fastest internet speed.

The other thing that happens on those is if you get it from a licensed agent, their systems, they're kind of hardwired into the CPW system. And they tend to be able to process stuff faster if you're there in person. So it does give an edge to people standing in line at a licensed office. Gotcha. Well, that's good insight, man. Good insight. I mean, we knew you'd, we knew you'd weigh in on that one. We called you cold turkey, but that's kind of a new thing we do here now. So hopefully next time. I wouldn't have sounded like a big idiot, but no, it's good. I think you'll just go back to planting peas. You plant peas first in life. Don't you? I don't know much about gardening, but that's what my wife says. Waxy leaves don't freeze as easy. That's what I was always taught. Those wax leaves. I'm not really growing a garden. I'm growing kids. That's kind of what I'm growing.

That's a deep thought. Wow. I'm calling you Jack Handy.

Remember that back in? Deep thoughts. Deep thoughts by Jack Handy. Back in SNL day. Probably late 80s, early 90s. So I hope I didn't get you. Wow. These bachelors are over here, Clint. They're looking. I'm like, who the hell is Carter Bronson talking about? They don't even know who they're talking about. So anyway, you do, Clint. You're from our era. So you remember those SNL days. Oh, I remember all that stuff. Oh, yeah. All right. These guys don't even know who Mr. Rogers is or anything. Jeez. That's one we do now. We're starting to get into something where your memory. We should. We should. We should. We should. Well, yeah. They threw out some board game that Carter and I hadn't even. Yeah. There's Oregon Trail. I didn't even know about that. I don't even know about it. These guys. Computer games. It's an app. It's an app. It's not a board game. It's an app. People are just.

Oh, it's not an app. It's not an app. It's like Candy Crush. It's probably like Candy Crush. It's a computer game. We did not have apps when we were 12. I thought it was a board game. I didn't know anything about it. No, we had to install it. It came in a big box. We had to install it on the computer. Oh. Funny thing is that was a long time ago. It was like green. Wasn't it like green? Yeah. The black and white computers. Come on. Do you guys even know what Atari is? Yeah. Yeah. You do? We never played it, but we know what it is. Because your older siblings played it. I don't know what that is. Yeah. They wouldn't let us play. All right, Clint. You good? Night driver with the little paddle. I'm good. All right. You guys keep it up. Enjoy the podcast. Thanks a lot. Keep me busy. All right. Tell JoJo we said hey. All right. And remember to count these days as dad days.

We anoint you the dad of the day of work. I don't care what she. For all of you. I just need Tony. We don't care what she says. I need to start banking all these days right now, so when October comes around, I got something to work with. Well, at least put it on paper. It's hard to argue with paper. Didn't have. I found out. Janet's logged some paper. I found out. That can go both ways. It can come to home. Well, Clint. Clint, you knew Janet. You knew my wife before we got married, didn't you? Back in college days. Yep. I knew your wife way back. That was a long time ago. Yeah. Back in college. A long time ago. Clint and I go way back. All right, guys. Thanks, Clint. Appreciate the insight. Keep growing kids, all right? Yeah. No more new kids. Just grow the ones you got. Yeah, no more new ones. All right. We'll see you later. All right. Talk to you later. Bye. See you, bud.

I don't know what else to say. We've been here long enough. So this week, we're going to give away two Pyro Putty gift packs. We're going to do that this coming Thursday, April 9th at 11.59 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Included in that gift pack is going to be a Pyro Putty lighter and the new Ultralight blend that we've been talking about here on this podcast. And to enter to win those, go ahead and head over to our Instagram or Facebook and check out the newest post on the podcast. And it's going to have a photo of a can of Pyro Putty out in the field. Go down to the comments on that post and tell us what your favorite part of this podcast was. And also include the hashtag EpicPyroPutty. E-P-I-C-P-Y-R-O-P-U-T-T-Y. Do that. You're going to be entered to win. And we're going to draw that, like I said, this coming Thursday, April 9th. We've got a little fun, though.

We ready for the end on the fun? Yeah, let's do it. Let's end on a good high note. We've talked enough about state stuff. That's right. That's about 15 minutes of this whole podcast. That's a night. We need to ask Devin to leave the room. Devin, would you leave the room? Are you kidding me? We just got a brief. We just got a brief. Fine, I'll take a restroom break. No, real quick. Yes, do the couple monsters. Is it number one or number two? No, hey. Number one? Okay. No, and on the monster thing, I need you to have a fresh palate. Fresh palate. You'll understand when you come back. Okay, here we go. Get that ready. Okay, so just for those of you guys out there that don't know what we're doing, so Devin says he knows and can taste the different brands of water, and there's only one brand that matters, and that's Nestle.

He hates everything else, so what we're doing, we've got some different brands of water here, including a Nestle. What do we got? Dasani, Nestle, and Arrowhead. There is no way he knows which one Nestle is. What do you got to add there, Bronson? Put it back on. What I want you guys to see is, I wanted to do this in front of you all, so this was legit. Yeah. You're going to see. They've got numbers on the bottom, all right? Spread the witness. You know, we have multiple witnesses. It is, okay, this is the one he likes, and you know where it's going, okay? Okay. We might want to sketch that down on page number two. Yeah, what number is that? Just try it. Don't say it out loud. He could be having his voice. Nestle, what's the bottom? Two? Yeah. Yeah, but we just switched it, so. Okay. Okay. Oh, I'm sorry. Write that down.

Okay. I'm filling these half full because he might need a couple tastes. Okay. No, no, no. Whoa, whoa. Not yet. Whoa, whoa. Get out of here. Not yet. That came in way too fast. That was quick. He definitely went number one. Okay.

Yeah, get some. Which one's this one? Oh, tap. Okay, now I've got to do just a second. Well, that'll make a guy gag. Oh, crap. He's not going to be able to tell the difference in any of it. What we're doing here, yeah, is a couple podcasts ago, we were talking about it was in the hoarding phase of the initial COVID-19 outbreak. And you couldn't find bottled water and it came up. So, Devin has been very outspoken as well. He thinks there's only one kind of bottled water. It by far buries every other kind of bottled water. Devin's kind of high maintenance, let's be honest. I don't know. So, we're having a little fun. We've got four kinds of water lined up here today, one of which is his purported best of water. You know, it's not from Beaver County. I think they claim that. At least the billboard driving through Beaver says that. No. No, they have pig farms in Beaver County.

So, there's no way it's true. And beavers carry giardia. Yeah. There's no way it's true. No way. I don't know. Just talk it out loud. Everybody loves their hometown. I get it. All right. So, here we go. Stick to the telephone or whatever. Don't they claim something with the telephone? Yeah. Yeah. All right, Devin. We've got a little game. We know you like water and you're trying to get away from the kidney stones that Wyatt had. So, we've got a little game here called the Epic Water Challenge. Come on. And I've had everybody's watched these. Everybody's watched these. There's just three perfectly. I want to put your mind at ease. Don't run to the strip quite yet. Because these are all brand new open water bottles and brand new cups. Okay? They're not. They haven't been used. I don't want you to think that, hey, if I drink that, I'm getting sick from somebody. Everyone looks a little hazy.

He's got a little something in it. No, there's not. Come on. That is crystal clear, perfect, beautiful water. Bubbles. Bubbles. Bubbles. Okay. So, we've got Arrowhead. We've got Dasani. We've got Nestle, which is your purported favorite, right? And then one of these is tap water. Just tap. And we're in Utah, and I think we've got pretty good tap water in Utah. Yeah. I think it's the best, especially down here in the industrial park. So, there's four kinds of water here. And I didn't, that's why, so I just want you to randomly, random, no, we talked about this on a podcast. We did, but. I want you to decide. But what? I just want everyone to know, this stem, me and Wyatt were talking about, I'm like, do you like that Arrowhead water? He's like, no, not really. Really? Yeah. Well. Well, you're next, Wyatt. Next podcast. I always buy my water at Costco, Kirkland or Nestle, whatever it is.

Those are the best. I was like, I feel like it's a little better, but. Okay. So, that's where this all stands. What do you mean? This wasn't a little better. This was like, I am dead set. No questions asked. So, you want me to drink these and tell you which one? Yeah. So, which one? In any order do you want? That one looks like tap water. I don't know. I don't know. Save that to me. Come on. I don't know. So, here he goes. Just take them all. Just take them all and maybe you make the judgment when you're done. You keep gulping like that, you're going to have to take a leak here really quick again. This kind of reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite when they're tasting the milk and trying to determine the blemish. Remember? That's. Hmm.

That's what? Good or bad?

You know, drank three. That's good water. Okay. What's the last one? No one has bubbles. What the? You've got to drink it. You drank three. There's a number. No, I promise. We promise there is nothing in here other than water. Tap water?

Really? No question. No question? No question. Let's do that one right off the bat. Number one. Ding, ding, ding. You are right. Number one was tap water. Okay. Wow. You had a problem with the clarity. You had a problem with the taste. What's number? What was that number? That one's the number one with numeral. Like a, it's a official number one. Or is that a four? That's the one I called this. No. That's a four. That's a four. Well, this is what it looked like to me, and so this is what we did. Four. That's my lineup. Which one? Which one? Which one's which? Right here. Paired.

Holy crap. You are dead on. I told you guys. You are dead on. He got every one of them. You're filming this? He got every one of them. He got every one of them. Look right here. Look right here. Nestle's number two. Okay? Number two. Arrowhead's number three. Boom. Number three. The Dasani was the four slash one. It looked like through the water. I said, as soon as I drank it, I said, that's good water. You did. I put it by the Nestle. That's good water, and it was Nestle. They're all water. They're all water. I don't get it, Bronson. There's like difference. I stand corrected. We need to end this podcast. Wow. We used to drink out of garden houses when we were friends. That's right. Yeah, I did the same thing. Secondary water systems. Not even chlorinated. Yeah. I don't know. Then your parents told you, hey, remember, I told you don't drink out of that. Put that to rest, everybody.

Put it to rest. It was pretty impressive. I thought it was going to be. Hey. Yeah. Yeah. I'm impressed. Sorry, we questioned you. We did. It wasn't fair. It wasn't. These two. You know what you're talking about, but I couldn't do what you just did. Let's call it a day. Let's go back to work. That wasn't even funny. Got it. No. He got it. He nailed it. We didn't let it go. Oh, yeah. All right. I guess, Wyatt, you're next for the game. Devin. I could never top that. We're going to come out with a summer blend, winter blend, and how to tell the difference or something for Wyatt. I don't know. Besides color. I don't know. Fire a putty. Who knows? Thanks for listening, everybody. Be safe. Take care. Apply, apply, apply. Stay corona-free.
