Waco Crowd Quieter Than Usual While Trump Insults DeSantis
"Notice how quiet how subdued how muted the crowd of enthusiastic Trump supporters becomes when he starts ripping Ron DeSantis. But I'm a loyalist and when a man comes to me, tears in his eyes, he's at almost nothing in the polls, and he's fighting somebody that's at 42 and he's got almost $30 million in the bank. He said almost nothing he's got no cash. And I said, I can't give you an endorsement. There's no way you can win. You're dead. But he fought a little bit like a 150. He was certainly no Jim Jordan. That I can tell you. He Ford a little bit, just a little bit on impeachment hoax number one impeachment notes number two, meaning on television because I didn't know him very well. But I saw him so he came and he really wanted. I said, you can't win. Can you win? Sir, if you endorse me I'll win. Please. Please, sir, endorse me.

Donald Trump Changes His Tune on Ballot Harvesting
"What do you think of president Trump's change of tack when it comes to ballot harvesting? He's right. And that's why I launched early vote action on January 23rd because listeners at home, you're not going to like what I have to say, but if Republicans don't engage in an all of the above approach to voting, meaning election day voting early voting early in person voting mail in voting absentee voting and where legal ballot harvesting if we don't do those things were simply not going to win. And if you give me 60 seconds, let me identify why we should vote early. Number one, Arizona. 30% of machines stopped working on election day. We told the Democrats where we were throwing the football and thousands of Republicans were disenfranchised. Number two, Doctor Oz and John fetterman, 500,000 pennsylvanians already voted before the first and only debate. And four to 5 of those voters were Democrats. The Democrats are narrowing the amount of people that they need in order to win elections going into election day while Republicans are waiting to vote on one day and last. Adam lacks salt and Nevada. It's snowed on election day. Adam lacks salt laws by 8000 votes in washoe county and Reno, where our people live, it's snowed and a 150,000 Republicans in Nevada state home and election day. If we're going to win, we must engage in early voting, mail in voting and where legal ballot harvesting.

Roger Stone: 'Ron DeSantis Has Shown Himself'
"Love talking to you, roger. You're fun. But you're also such a truth teller. I got to ask you, it's always annoying to me to see it's annoying to me to see Ron DeSantis looking like he's going to run for president against Trump. But it's equally annoying to me that Trump is kind of taking the bait and doing the Trump thing and dumping on him. I think it hurts Trump. Where are you in the middle of this? Well, first of all, make a suggestion to you. I know things are tough there in New York. Maybe if you showed your books in the background when you did a show to kind of, you know, product placement to kind of suddenly push book sales. I've read your book letter to the American church. It's really a great book and everyone should order it immediately. Well, you know what? I will take that advice under consideration. My team doesn't want me to be too forceful in pushing my books because they don't believe in my books as strongly as you do. So thank you for saying that. Michelle bachman also also likes my books. Let me address your question, please. One of the advantages of everything is that Ron DeSantis has now shown himself in his attack yesterday on Donald Trump. What was the attack? He basically questioned his moral character, which is funny because the governor was not questioning Trump's moral character when Trump unilaterally endorsed him in a tweet, which turbocharged his campaign and elected him governor. He wasn't questioning Trump's moral judgment when Trump had to come back to Florida twice in the final two weeks of 2018 to drag Ron DeSantis across the finish line. She ranked attendance is not a likeable fellow. I think he's what you would call a cold fish. He wears ear buds to avoid human contact because he doesn't like to speak to people. He is a largely, I think, driven by his wife, correct me wrong. Wasn't it evil said to Adam bite that Apple? I think it was.

Legendary Entertainer Pat Boone Discusses His New Book "IF"
"We're talking about pat Boone's book titled if. And on the cover of it, it says not religious life or death if the eternal choice we all must make. So pat Boone, you've been in a million movies. You've been everywhere you've done this. You've done that. But here you've written a book about the biggest question in the history of the world, our eternal decision, so what compelled you rather late in life to write something so extremely important? Well, I felt in my daily Bible reading. You know, I was, you know, that I read the Bible every year. This is the 42nd year to read it straight through word for word. And I was in Hawaii on a getaway and a rest period two years ago. And I kept noticing the word if. And I looked it up and to my astonishment eventually, through more research, I found out it is the most prevalent word in the Bible and perhaps the most important word in the Bible. Almost 28 no 1800 times, I think that word if starts in genesis, if you eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, you will die. And Adam and Eve ate that fruit and they did die. And then from if second chronicle 7 four 14, if my people who are called behind name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their own wicked ways, I will hear from heaven forgive their sin. If because if you read that verse, which is very famous, second chronicles 7 14, if you read 7 15 on down to 7 20, you see a few more if you don't do these things, then I'm going to bring upon you a list of things that will make you shiver.

Finding God in History Today Is a Tricky Business...
"I'm back with zeb Weinstein director of international affairs at the city of David foundation in Jerusalem. You can follow him on Twitter and observes the EEV or ENS DEI N and we're talking about Israel and the Bible. So if you made a striking point where you said that, you know, it's one thing for us to believe that God was once active in the world. In fact, certainly if you look at the Hebrew scriptures and the very beginning God is talking to Adam and Eve. He seems to communicate in a very direct way with Abraham, even with Moses, they may not see his face, but it's unmistakably him. And yet then there's a movement in the Hebrew scriptures in which God seems to somewhat recede. His relationship even to the middle prophets is not as direct. And then later, God seems to be in the same position as these now. So I think the point you're making is that finding God in history today is a trickier business. And yet, you do have explicit predictions in the Hebrew scriptures that the Jews will return. I mean, that's unmistakable. Bible prophecy can be a little cloudy, but that's not cloudy. And here we are, and I want to highlight the sort of extreme implausibility of that event. And yet it occurs, you've had three wars, 1948, 1967, 1973, in every case Israel is victorious against massively combined army. So is this what you're saying that it seems like a combination of political and religious epiphany hit you at the same time and you want it to be in the middle of it. Faith is a choice. You could relate to the world as if it's just always been like that. Always will be like that. Or you could relate to the world that there is something bigger at play. And that we are as people created in the image of God that we have a certain purpose to fulfill the world, both individually and collectively. And the more I became aware of the history of the modern State of Israel and the return of the Jewish people to the land of Israel. And the world's obsession with Israel, not always positive, I realize there's something bigger at play and there's something that spoke to me again from a spiritual place of a feeling that perhaps when I was put in this world to do, had something to do with that.

"We will hold our breath. I'm ready. Adam, what's the worst advice you've ever gotten? It's all who you know. Not true. Let me say this over and over again. I hear people say it all the time. Not true. I knew no one when I started doing what I was doing. I knew no one that when I got into Saturday Night Live. No one. I auditioned cold for second city. It allows people not to focus on doing the work on sharpening their skills. Trust me, these studios and networks want to make lots of money. If you get really good at what you do and put it out there in any way, shape or form, they will find you fast, especially these days. Maybe it's all who you know might have worked 50 years ago before the Internet and all this stuff. But it's bad advice. Well, I think part of the reason that it's bad advice is that who you know depends on what you create. And what skills you bring to the table, right? So your network is a function of originally the comedy that you generated, right? Even a better way of saying it, if you're like, oh, I'm all about networking. You're going to hang out with a bunch of other actors, writers, directors, painters, whatever they are, or even psychologists or whatever your up for. And they're all going to be in a networking and who you know, and then all of a sudden who you know are a bunch of other people worried about who they know. And then boom, you've got the U.S. federal government. Speaking of which, I watched your new documentary. God forbid. That entire story could be powered by somebody's belief. This might be Giancarlo, at least a caricature of him, that it was all about who you know. And that if he could only get in the good graces of Falwell, that great things might happen. What was it that drew you to that story and what was your big takeaway from it? That's a really good point. The reason I really loved it is I thought it took a tremendous amount of courage for Giancarlo to tell that story. Because you see it just all over the place in today's world. These individuals, these companies just roll over people. And they just trust that you're not going to have the guts to speak up, you're too embarrassed to speak up. They'll crush you if you speak up. So, you know, this guy really got chewed up. He really stepped into a very dark, twisted upside down world. And in the end, the Falwell's were very confident that he was going to keep his mouth shut and go away. And they really had that power over him. We live in kind of NDA nation. I'm convinced if you eliminated the NDA, this entire country would get its act together in about three months.

"Want to ask you a little bit about your comedy career and then come back to the newer drama work. You've obviously had an extraordinary trajectory. I think about founding the upright citizens brigade. I think about becoming head writer on SNL, where you recruited Tina Fey, I would love to hear a little bit about what that series of experiences taught you about humor that you didn't know instinctively. I think the biggest lesson because I started doing comedy at a little comedy radio station in college and then I was doing stand up comedy in the 80s when there was that stand up comedy boom and it really exploded. That's like what Seinfeld came out of Jay Leno and on and on dozens of great comics. And I remember doing stand up when I was in college and you know I would get laughs and I made a little bit of money. I wasn't great. It wasn't like a headliner, but I would MC occasionally middle. By the end, I did not like my act. And so when I went to Chicago to do long form improvisation, that was where del close started saying, no, no, you don't play down to the audience. You play up to them. They're way smarter than you think they are. And he kind of would tell us that, but then in classes, he would make you do it. He would say, is that the smartest thing you could come up with? There? Is that the most creative choice? And he kind of drills it in you, and then we started doing it, and it worked. And we were like, holy crap. He's right. And you know, his point wasn't that everything must be erudite and dry. His point was always be striving to make the most original creative choice. So even if you're playing an incredibly stupid character like Homer Simpson, well, what's great about Homer Simpson is they write him in a regional genius ways even though he's stupid. So that's what Dell was saying like always be pushing one step beyond. And that kind of became the foundation of everything we did. And the other thing he always pushed was like, you know, even if it's silly, like, your stuff's going to play better if you aim for art and you miss you're going to end up with comedy, but if you aim for comedy and you miss, you get junk. So he's like, always trying to have something else you're going for. So even as silly as like anchorman in Talladega nights, we always had something else going on with those movies, will and I would talk about it. We called it our secret behind the movie. And it really gave a lot of stakes and it really gave a kind of energy to this stuff. We're doing. So that was a big change for me. It's sort of introduced the idea of like, oh yeah, comedy has a history of being, you know, theater, comedy has a history of stand up comics really causing trouble and saying things that were hard for people to handle. He gave it the right dose of importance. It didn't make it overly important. He just reminded you like you're here to do this. That right away set you apart, you now have a responsibility to uphold what you're doing. And I like that he kind of put that responsibility on us. That is a good segue to a couple of things I wanted to ask you to lightning round.

So if we're going to factor if we are going to factor relative agent in education or biological development in education adjustments, shouldn't we be factoring in other things that we know are influential?

Now, would you feel comfortable with all of your, if you go back to your K through 12 experiences, would you feel comfortable if they ran all of your test scores through an age correction algorithm? Around the room, I saw young people have promise. Focused, eager. They would be my disciples. I was so full of excitement. I put the question to a vote. Yes or no? You do a shorthand.

"Her 22nd birthday. Oh, you were ten oh, a ten in the back. Oh, another ten emerges. We've got the 12. We got these 12s, and we got some tens. Take a look. This is bananas. This is as bad as the Canadian national junior hockey team. In our sample of students, from one of the world's most selective universities, there were no young seniors. None. Not even close. There was no one at all who had been born in 2001, which is the year you would expect most seniors to be born in. At one point, a student started talking about her experience in a gifted and talented program. So I asked for a show of hands. Do you mind me asking, how many of you guys were in gifted and talented programs? Wow. Basically all of you. Which makes sense, right? These were a group of relatively old students, and being relatively older makes it more likely to get into a gifted and talented program. And getting into a gifted and talented program makes it more likely to get into a school like pen, which is why a group of seniors that day at Wharton were all really old. What begins as arbitrary advantage hardens into privilege. A simple fact about their own success that our students still hadn't figured out. I'm going to give you another clue guys. The particular dimension of privilege we're interested in measuring, I'm going to say with a great deal of certainty is, in this room, the most significant form of privilege or lack of it that you would have experienced as students. At this point, I've pulled out all the stops, trying to help them. I've had people with the highest numbers stand up. At one point, I made everyone with a number over 20. Get up from their seats and line up against the wall. They were still guessing, but it was like they were throwing darts with a blindfold on. There were pretty clear demographic similarity at the top and in the spectrum. Racially was the most obvious in my eyes. Yeah. But also just in general that there were very few at the low end of the spectrum. Yeah. It was also noteworthy. How do you feel about being in the higher number group as opposed to the lower number group? I mean, it's just a fact. Like it is. I would say I'm coming into it. I'm aware of my privilege. As a white woman, but I think it's about what you do with that privilege that's important. And then, after 40 minutes of floundering in the shallow end of the revisionist history, research pool. A group of students in the front row. Put their heads together and then raise their hands. We have a hypothesis. That's Adam. Everyone in this front row group had the highest privilege score we handed out. 24 plus. Of course they figured it out first. They were the oldest students in the class. Next to Adam was Joseph. He was wearing a suit and a tie. Yeah. Yeah, we have a hypothesis, so 24 plus is that a significant factor here. Is age, our absolute age. Yes. Like how old are you? He goes, we're all a bunch of old seniors over here. Older than usual. Eureka. Phase one of the experiment was over. Now, phase two. Because I intended to ask them if they wanted to do something about their arbitrary privilege. In Australia, they've invented something called maturity based corrective adjustment procedures. Madcaps, as it's known, for provisional use in the sport of swimming. I will confess that I am madly in love with this idea. It turns out that if you take a bunch of measurements of kids and plug them into an equation, you can estimate their physical maturity quite accurately. So you don't have to rely on chronological age to assess someone's level of development, you can do one better and measure maturity directly. So what these equations do is they factor in indices like height, weight, chronological age, and sitting height, and they use those factors to then estimate how far away a particular individual is from that point of peak growth. That's Stephen cobbly, a professor at the university of Sydney, who created Matt caps, along with his colleague Michael Roman. Here's how it works. Imagine we have two 14 year old swimmers competing in a hundred meter freestyle. Both with the exact same birthday. Joey and Tim. So these academics would first calculate the biological maturity status of each swimmer. That is, how far each one is from their estimated point of peak performance. So let's say, for example, Joey is actually 12 months less biologically mature than Tim at this exact moment. Then comes the cool part. Copley then looks at thousands of data points for 14 year olds swimming in the hundred meter freestyle and calculates what is 12 months of maturity worth on average in terms of swimming time for kids competing in that age group. He enters the data into the maturation based corrective adjustment procedures algorithm, and presto. The procedure adjusts Joey's time to account for the fact that at the moment he raced him. He was 12 months behind developmentally. An adolescent swim meet in cobbles ideal universe has two sets of results. The raw results, and then the maturity adjusted results. What you're doing is you're effectively lowering the time of the folks who are slightly behind in terms of their maturity status. Kabli did a test run of the macca's algorithm on a sample of 700 Australian swimmers. All boys competing in a hundred meter freestyle. The first thing he discovers is similar to what we found at Penn. Among the top 25% of all adolescent swimmers, there were no late maturing boys. None. Zero. Which is an astonishing fact. Australia is a country that takes swimming as seriously as Canada takes hockey, and they have basically decided to banish a big group of young swimmers from consideration just because their talent happens not to appear. Soon enough. When you looked at these 700 swimmers, in some sense, the damage has already been done. We've already chased away the slow developers. They've quit. They've got discouraged, they thought they were bad swimmers. They didn't realize they were simply behind. Yeah. So what happens when you run everyone's race times through the madcap's algorithm, adjusting for maturity? The order of finish in every race changes. They're really talented swimmers who just happen to be slower to mature, now have a chance. They used to be lost to the system. Now you can tell who they are. Now you can go up to young Joey and say, I know you didn't make the final. But take a look at your mat caps time. You might be the best swimmer out there. So what's the most somebody moved

"Formerly eldest children have responded by holding their kids back. Whereupon the first set of parents are increasingly holding their kids back a second time, meaning that there is at least a theoretical possibility that in the most competitive corners of American private education, some kids may never graduate from high school. Maybe I should have seen all that coming when I wrote outliers. I should have made it clear that I was not trying to teach neurotic upper middle class helicopter parents how to gain the system. I just wanted schools and sports leagues to start behaving like idiots. So, Barnsley's paper on relative age effect came out in 1985. Outliers, which was I think the first time Barnsley's work got wide publicity, was published in 2008. The world has been alerted for decades to the fact that all kinds of supposedly meritocratic systems have been hijacked. Has anything changed? You're in front of your computer. Are you? I put the question to roger Barnsley. The OG of relative age effect research, what have we learned? Can you Google the roster of the Canadian junior hockey team national hockey team for 2021, 22? The current roster. We'll do it right now. And I want you to go down the list of the forwards. Just use the forwards for the sake of simplicity. And I want you to just read the 21 months of birth of the forwards on the current Canadian junior national hockey team. The birth dates are just their names. I just want their birth months. And then binds the repeated what his wife Paula did decades ago at the lethbridge Broncos hockey game. He listed the birth month by number of the members of the national junior hockey team. Listen for birth months of 7 or higher. Two ten one one one two 11 8 four two ten 5 four 5 two 6 one three one one 5 three two four 7 one. It's the same thing. Same thing. They've learned nothing. It's the same phenomenon you saw. You saw it this 40 years ago. The iron law of Canadian hockey is still an iron law. Isn't that funny? It's depressing. Very depressing. Very good frozen. Here we are both Canadians. We are, we are citizens of a country that cares more about hockey, excellence. Than anything else. Let's be clear. Anything else. And we are leaving an astonishing amount of talent on the table. Exactly. And we're fusing to learn. What if Canada's own academics 40 years ago said to the Lockheed establishment, what are you doing? Yeah, that's right. And they didn't, they haven't done anything. Canadian hockey hasn't done anything, but maybe revisionist history can. The inspiration for the revisionist history Wharton school relative age effect experiment. Came to me when I was talking to Adam Kelly. Former footballer turned university professor. Kelly is a disciple of roger Barnsley. He works with sports leagues to help them solve their age related problems. Like England's basketball federation, which spent a small fortune, setting up regional centers to identify promising players. We looked at the proportion of players who were selected into those talent centers across the nation. And that was at age groups. Selected from 13 to 15, both at male and female. And those who were born in birth quarter one were ten times more likely to be selected. Ten times. Birth quarter one is the three months closest to the English basketball eligibility cutoff date. Yeah, which is absolutely crazy, isn't it? Same old story, the talent spotters thought they were picking the most promising players, but in fact, they would just picking the oldest kids. Because the oldest kids were, of course, the tallest and most coordinated. Anyway, Kelly's also thought a lot about education. Why is everyone taking their exam at exactly the same time? Surely we should all be taking it at that same time within our lifespan. So if you're born in August, you're taking your exam almost 12 months earlier than someone who's born in September. So that person's at 12 months more learning than you. Which is super obvious when you think about it. In New York State, all the big elementary school math and English standardized tests are in late March early April. We're talking third graders, 8 and 9 year olds. At that age, kids get smarter every week. Yet we're trying to assess kids by their test scores and some of the kids were judging had been around as much as a year longer than other kids. Why don't we have the January kids all take the test in January and the February kids in February and on and on down the line? I have no idea. Honestly, no idea. So I gathered the research arm of revisionist history. Without props, recording equipment, and extra microphones, and headed for the gothic ivy covered cathedral of higher learning that is the University of Pennsylvania. To see if a group of really, really smart young people, can figure out the importance of the month when they happen to be born. Turn over your pieces of paper. Put your name in the top. And once you're finished, we will collect them. And then we will commence the exercise. So we give out our elaborate questionnaire, but secretly, our interested in is people's birthdays. And then eloise and Harrison go through each questionnaire and use the birth dates to do a simple calculation. Technically, the youngest you could be as a college senior at the time of our experiment was to be born in September, 2001. So if you were born then, you got a zero. Zero, birth privilege. If you were one month older, born in August 2001, you got a one. July 2001, you got a two. And so on. The higher the number on the sticker, the older the student wearing it. We even had a contingency for students who might have skipped a grade somewhere along the way. You'd get a negative number if you were younger than the expected age of a college senior. First thing we found out, there were no negative numbers in the room. Back when I was in college, I knew dozens of people who had skipped grades. Apparently, that doesn't happen much anymore. But it was worse than that. There's no zeros. Does anyone know one? Two. Three twos? Three. Fours. 5s? Anyone less than ten stand up? One student finally stood up in a back row.

Amount a kilo to put something into outer space so a satellite or for your phone or television or whatever communications or whatever it is with x. amount per pound.

And i've never seen a crowd turn on atom so fast. Yeah and then. Adam adam doubles down it says also the moose was gross and i. I don't think it's tough thrown at them. They really a partisan crowd and the tough part of alankar anchorage honky. Those guys did not like my moose salmon to show. They're coming so how'd they cooked the mood. They gotta tell me maybe did it wrong. They were they were really concerned. That atom didn't care for them. You're not trying to ingratiate yourself into this. Gramma truth teller and i was getting paid and i wanted to leave. But i'm a truth teller. I didn't know that ninety. Seven percent of anchorage audience members would love moose. I this naples with your pizza there. So in the mood and salmon like i thought talking people anchorage if we said same and they'd roll their eyes like oh yeah not saying oh they love it. They're so they're so in other so proud of it. And i thought they'd be either little burnt out on or they treat they treat it like when people go. Oh we should go down to the la brea tar pits while i'm in town. There's nothing they're gonna go there like your locker socks like making fun of our street dogs which we would agree with. Yes yes i thought. I didn't know the entire room with that. They love their same another moose and all that. So yes a hayes the crowd but the guy shot the moose was sitting directly behind us so we couldn't leave any moose on the plate even though we weren't really that into the moose but that's where chris kicks at august august asleep. You come see come saw with the moose. Ryan gives okay where they didn't love it. Yeah and these are appetizers. We still had like a wise come in. We had like tar tar. We'd fish and chips. Like i mean the lodge had really great meals. Yeah they made. Goulash made a huge pot goulash for me. That was great with moves me knows god. It was getting rid.

Did you all stay in a cabin or jeff separate. It was like a it was a real rooms down a hall kind of kind of thing there was a lodge a lodge. It hadn't rooms twenty rooms. Maybe not even well. Maybe there's an upstairs and stuff but either way it was pretty civilized. You know hot and cold running water and all that bathrooms and everything. Did you run into any locals. That seemed like they were. They had a pass. they were running from. There are some pretty salty characters out at the lodge but all seem pretty more interesting than dangerous. Sean valjean s sure. Yeah adam gets there. And they wanted les mis they wanted Oh yeah the doctor who injected. Tim mcveigh with the lethal injection celebrity. Signing you recognize sunny. Recognize your work. Wait a second. How did that even come to be known as it works conversation a couple of guys came up to adam and the they were just fans and they're shaking san and as soon as you walked away the manager at the lodge told us like. Oh do you know who that told us. He's the doctor that does although lethal injection injection the high end high profile that sentences and things. That's celebrity shit. I forgot about that guy. Yeah and go bend his ear. God i was. I was it was like i gotta go bend that guy's ear and then some point i drink some martinez and dawson third playing and i forgot all about it.

Coots yeah do dawson. That's twenty minutes. Man used to six. And a half dawson said i got. I got it. I said all right. Well if you wanna go fifteen go. Fifteen dawson said. I got it sitting up on the sitting up upstairs in the green room. Dawson took the stage for the late show on saturday night and after about nine minutes. I thought i'd better go down there. It's just check on how we're doing good thing you did. Because i ran out of material with eleven cad work. he's getting laughs there. You go all i did. Do some crowd work. Somebody in the crowd yelled. Allan parsons and so that added about two minutes to my. As i said that i went to a party of this house. And and they had a a queue of guests coming in who were announced by this old british. Guy now entering. They'd say everybody's name. They made it as british as possible. And i said i said so. They had everybody waiting in a queue. And then i say the crowd the q. That's what they call a line in europe. In fact i remember being in london. Snorting cues off the back of toilet.

"Three four one seven four four. Yeah got something to say about that. But i'll i'll tell you after. The alaska crystal remind me about this situation on the one on one It was So we we went out fishing the first day we caught nothing. We went after king salmon. I think or maybe went after rainbow trout. Kim salmon yeah. It didn't matter to me. We're sitting in a boat. Bali goals overhead. It was so god damn majestic You know. I think the i think the guides were a little frustrated. Because they're over the whole majesty of the thing that when to catch fish i was just enjoying enjoying the outdoors and the boat ride and the lake and they were clear was they. They were kind of upset and almost like embarrassed that we weren't able to get anything the first day these gina. These guys go fishing seven days a week. The guy the guy that took dawson and me out we asked him like what he does is fishes every day and then what about winter you stays guy stay here and what do you do if you can't fish like i got the fishing channel. He's watching the fishing channel down aquarium and the lot of life so the next day we found out that the sakai or running what. You're not the king salmon. They're smaller the the sockeye salmon were running and if we went to this place up the river we could get no a cove and we could catch him now. What i didn't know is the way you catch the sakai sakai sam. Just run right along the bank. All the way up the fisher nuts. They start in bristol bay they start out in the bay and or at sea you guys all know the story and then they go all the way up all dreams and the tributaries but you gotta know how far these fucking fish travel because we went down to bristol bay and that was a long ride where they come in and then when we went up. I'm saying up and down. I don't know if it's down and over up but we went to brooks falls and that's a plane ride. So the point is is the salmon goat start way the fuck down there and go all the way up and they end up in the mouth of the bear at the top of the miniature waterfalls down so the sakai were running now the sakai. Are you good size there. You know two and a half feet. They're they're anywhere from sixteen inches to twenty five inches and they're anywhere from four pounds ten pounds but they're good size fish. You've seen in the picture and it's good eaten and all that stuff and you go this cove and you can see them literally just all going up up the stream and they go about their about ten feet from the shore in water. That's like three maybe four feet deep and you see him running. You just seem going steady stream. And i sit. They're going upstream like they're they're moving pretty fast like like trying to swim but but their speed they're swimming upstream is pretty slow. So you're just walked right right. And then i sit down. What do we what do we use. Lures or bait. And they're like now once they hit once they leave the bay they don't eat. I don't know probably something to do with spawning. But there is no eating for this entire. You couldn't imagine expending more energy and not eat. It would be like i. It'd be the equivalent of you saying. I'm gonna run nine tour de frances in a shopping car. But they'll be no granola bars like the entire time like not interest. They don't eat but they have to swim hundreds of miles upstream against the current right. So what you do. You cast your line in there and you started drag. It's kind of fly fishing and kind of dragging you hook them. You just your hook which is just floating free with no bait or lure. Anything just hooks them by you. Just grab fish bite you you grab them and i was like that seems kind of weird insane but it it started working and then it started working pretty fast and everyone was pulling them up. But not mike. Mike stood on the boat. And you can see the stream of them going right by and the guy was right and the guy was left. Everyone is catching fish in. Mike wasn't a mike. He's talking about you. You fuck out. We had to put on waiters worth like these. Little these overalls kind of cut off at the chest. Yes you can get into the water. Everybody was in the water but might decide to stay on the boat. Oh well there you go well but no people were on the shore. Dawson was on the the shore. There was some generous on the shore. The fish knew he wasn't into it. He was injected a little experiments. After about three hours of mike catching nothing in dawson pulled up five at that point. Yeah five five. He was just pulling them up one after the other. And so was everybody sunning. Jen chris amazon. Mike literally nothing with everyone around him. Pulled up at that point. You know we'd pulled up twenty. Three fish between us and mike accounted for zero at some point he said i'm getting off this boat and i'm gonna go stand. Where dawson stood because dawson was pulling them up all day and then he went and stood. We're dawson stood in dawson. Did you go onto the boaters at gen now. I just moved down a little bit. Chris up on the boat and then whoever replaced mike on his position on the boat. Start pulling up but but my still never never have one and at some point at the end of the day when we've got near our limit. The guide hooked one and then handed the fall for a little girl who's like on the shore. Think your daughter to see fewer australian. Put the little rubber band around the chopsticks. It was exactly that bad was like from the makeup fish foundation. Here here little boy little terminal boy make a fish and he just handed him the poll and mike technically caught. You know half a fish but so we did all that and then came back and everyone is in a good mood and the guys went to the fish house and just flayed all the fish fish. Those fish yeah. I got some in my. I got a lot my freezer. Because we've got the. We got the cooler from the airport and all that stuff Comedy served one up that night for us to enjoy dinner. Yeah they put them all in the free vacuum vacuum seal beautiful like a hugh of orange and pink that you just don't. You're not used to seeing in the supermarket so fresh show. Whatever and served up served up served it up for us for dinner along with the moose you see beneath us. What oh yeah..

"We get out out out of their guerrilla and bears are fucking assholes like they're the ones that are like kill the cubs. Kill the babies. yeah. I'm not an expert. But from the body language of the mom and the cubs the cubs knew they had to stay next mama and the momma knew she had to stay away from the mail alphabet like they would be fishing. I guess adam before we got there. Some of the people said that they actually caught the mama and the cubs caught a few fish and then if they were like two hundred yards one hundred yards from the from the falls and if the big bear would even just look in their direction. The momma bear would freeze. Oh my inches. Not just be just totally alerted and then if it took a step forward they would just scamper away. Did you get in trouble when it was revealed that you had a cub in your coat on the way back. They weren't that cubby they were. They were clearly juveniles but they were not you know little only police now weren't roly police. They were able to go out in the stream and so to hang out sauce. Some anglers down the stream couple hundred yards just walking across the stream like three dudes with their fishing poles. I don't know who those dudes are. I don't either and that's why i thought it was crazy that the next day we hear like oh bear. Swipe at brooks falls like somebody got swipe by bear. Yeah so you go up on a kind of a landing on these pilots. There's your early about five or six feet above the action but you're in a sort of raised position and it's a sort of observation. Go to the edge stand on this thing. Look down at the bears take pictures and all that kind of stuff. There was a funny exchange in an interesting Piece of kismet. That went on. I'll tell you what we should. We got more to talk about. Let me get to Tommy john that's right. Tommy john tommy. John's oh yes i did. I went i. That's what i wore into the river every day. Because i do not wanna go naked because the boy and the prying eyes of the people in the lodge were there also because getting out of the water fifty two degrees. Not what you want. When you're nude. I did not want to go in my trunk. My basketball shorts because The take two days to dry in that weather so i went my tommy. John's because i could just hang them out over the shower and the next day they'd be dry so i could hop back in the late with them again so they dry fast. They're keep you two to three times cooler than regular cotton dozens of comfort and innovations like breathable lightweight moisture. Wyking fabric tommy. John doesn't have customers. They have fanatics. And i told you.

"On news and ball. Brian on sound effects. And now in alaska he got up close and personal with the bear he also assaults grizzlies adam. Corolla he ever get it on. Got to get it on judgment and a mandate you get it off for tune in they tell the out about you. Reggina grant right great all right so Back from alaska plenty of stories to tell about Alaska i have to say i think i passed the point in my life where i get jealous of a lot of things i was. I was sorta seething for five days. I was so jealous. It is Breathtaking yeah but You know it's not you know. Half of it is the topography of it. The beauty of it the natural surroundings and all that stuff. I think maybe three texas could fit in their three times so i hear that full maybe two and a half or three i said to the audience at three but maps where they show like a tiny little alaska title a hawaii off to the side. Really don't do it just no. It's it's it's vast it's spectacular. It's the more the more that the takeaway that you get from. Alaska is more the mindset of alaska. Yeah texas one and a half times. I don't think it's three times but at least according it's much bigger than we're led to believe. Well it's twice it. it has texas. Has you know two hundred seventy square miles. Seventy thousand square miles on alaska's got sixty three. So who would work out more than twice more than way alaska's configured with the way it looks it doesn't like white but yes more than more than twice. We'll discuss two and a half anyway others. there's things it's the mindset everybody who passes everyone on the road.
