well hi everybody welcome to fishing canada live we're back good day hey what's going on buddy
1:04
you're almost like incognito in there with your black on black with the black background and everything
1:10
i hate the sign okay sorry i'm a little excited there don't talk rock and roll here
1:16
how are you buddy good man how about you good excited i'm pumped big big big night big night
1:22
the garmin all the garbage lovers we got lots of announcements this is going to be this is a good one but this is a good
1:29
this is a dandy uh thanks for everybody uh thanks uh for joining us we've got like pete just said some really exciting
1:35
stuff a lot of it you already know about a couple of things we've kind of thrown in last minute to you know stir the pot a little bit um
1:43
before we get to all of that i've got a couple of quick things i'd like to say uh last time we were with you uh we
1:50
had that wonderful announcement by uh minister of natural resources uh john jacobski about the new uh
1:57
carp three rod regulations and he said that you know it was um it was
2:03
due to my persistence in chasing him down to get it done and i had notes that i wanted to
2:09
speak about that during that episode and i forgot completely and i felt terrible and i waited all
2:16
this time to uh to pull them back out there was prior to me even getting involved
2:22
in that whole carp thing uh there were a few other gentlemen that had already spent a couple of years working on it
2:28
so it took a little longer than we even thought but i just want to uh throw this out to them and and make sure
2:35
they get their just recognition first of all jim grayston uh who actually pioneered the whole uh two
2:43
carp ruling thing uh way way before any of us did he really pioneered carp fishing in
2:50
the sense of being a non-angler you know taking the government stance or taking whatever
2:55
you know somebody else an outsider stance and getting this to where it is today so jim was huge in
3:00
that for sure harper's carpers across the province owe a big thanks to jim grayson who then was uh a part of
3:08
the ontario tourism group otmp in fact he was a director with uh with them and he
3:14
he was instrumental not only in just the carp ruling but i'll be very frank with you he was
3:19
instrumental in putting ontario on the map as far as fishing is concerned so i i felt so bad about not mentioning
3:27
that uh that night so without him we would not have had that great announcement that uh minister yakubuski gave us and also len
3:34
perdick uh who is a a fanatic when it comes to carp fishing and
3:40
and he was always in the background in this whole process along with an old friend of pete and i
3:45
uh who i did not know had been working on this as well and that's tom brooke
3:50
from shimano canada yeah brooke was involved in this too in fact brooko and jim and len
3:58
uh were the first three that went to uh peterborough at m r's head office and suggested it so
4:06
um i just wanted to thank you tom and len have uh you know that again shimano and and len perk they
4:12
got together and brought carp angling to ontario again the start of canada i guess you'd say again back in the day because
4:17
the very quick story ange and i first met len perdick at uh at one of the sports shows it was a sportsman's show i think or something
4:23
like that and and we walked up and this is this carp expert standing there there was a mounted carp there it was a beautiful
4:28
display and all that and ranch and i had never fished for carp at all and brokeo introduced us to lenny
4:34
says you got to meet this guy and then we just had an instant friendship with len from then on the guy's uh just a genius
4:39
at car person one thing about len he doesn't care about getting the pat in the back like right now he's saying now whatever guys
4:45
this is no big deal whatever like that he's that type of guy very modest guy but he has done a lot for carp fishing in ontario for
4:51
sure uh without question without question i think everybody who who's serious about carp fishing knows
4:56
him and knows of him and and know how much his involvement means to carpers
5:02
all across the province and a couple more thanks i want to throw out but not about carp fishing but about the
5:09
great event that we're uh unleashing on the public here in canada tomorrow
5:14
at noon we're going to talk about it at length here tonight but i want to thank uh joe warmington
5:20

5:26
digital platform as well about the great ontario getaway giveaway that

5:44
000 when we last spoke to you right too yeah it's a hundred thousand now yeah yeah
5:50

5:58
that any promises i'm not i'm just saying you're where you're
6:04

6:16
incredible uh story hey who's those two guys down there what is that picture of

6:38
anyways thanks joel warmington for your help there and also my good friend uh longtime admirer in fact you might
6:45
say i have and i hate i ain't saying this but you might say i've always had a man crush on this guy yeah
6:52
yeah his name is john oakley and he is certainly one of canada's premier talk show hosts and of course
6:59
john and i uh have been in the same business for almost 30 years and that is radio broadcasting
7:05
and i was an admirer of his and he was an admirer of mine and and you know we'd send little notes back and
7:11
forth every once in a while crushing for sure anyways i had the
7:17
pleasure of being on his show uh yesterday at 4 30 or 4 o'clock and he did an
7:24
announcement about this event as well he interviewed dave mclaughlin and betty mcgee who who
7:29
were both instrumental in helping us put this event together so just i guess i wanted to say thank you thank you
7:34
thank you to everybody who has made this thing possible uh six months ago when we first started talking
7:40
about it pete you and i um it was just sort of a what if yeah exactly and uh and here we are
7:48

7:55

8:01
our uh our good buddy from radio world mr jack summers is uh is
8:06
going to join us uh for a few minutes five ten minutes whatever and he's gonna talk to us about some social media stuff
8:12

8:17
hey oh wow awfully bright look at that guy hey guys how are you good you buddy i'm
8:25
good good good good to be here tonight and uh you know i know there's a big question mark
8:30
why and i just want to uh just have a little chat here with uh with both of you but uh maybe primarily
8:37
direct things towards you angelo oh should i be leaving the room jack no no
8:44
not at all i think that this is very appropriate and
8:49
and i know that we talked about this we've known each other a long time and i i appreciate uh
8:57
you know you letting me into your family and your friendship on all of those things and we have uh spent a lot of time breaking
9:05
bread and and having belly laughs together and sharing a drink or two with all of us pete pete
9:11
on the entire family but this is a little different and i
9:16
just wanted to um to say something that needs to be said oh i like this
9:25
if nick is around if nick is around maybe he could uh do his little duty too if he could right
9:32
now hey jack that okay yeah well that's fine no problem but just angelo
9:38
i know you mentioned uh this uh the carp thing and that was a really big deal
9:43
four weeks ago when it was announced and there's no doubt in my mind that it wasn't a single-handed effort i i really
9:50
truly appreciate you know the efforts that jim and len and bronco put into this but you yourself do not
9:58
like the limelight if you would if i would have talked to you about what i want to say
10:03
tonight i'm absolutely sure you would have poo pooed it put the kibosh on it and
10:08
stopped it so that's why i kept things behind but but on behalf of the fishing canada fan club
10:15
anglers across canada throughout the world i wanted to recognize you for your tremendous effort
10:21
in lobbying the premier of ontario doug ford the minister of natural resources uh you know the honorable john
10:28
yak debuska your long time friend the honorable vic fideli minister of heritage sport
10:34
tourism lisa mcleod and anybody else that would listen because i know you didn't shut up about
10:40
carp and and for a long time this is a great victory for anglers
10:47
local and abroad interior tourism operators in the entire fishing community and the industry if you think about how
10:55
this is going to expand in the industry it's fantastic
11:04
several weeks ago when both the ministers were on i'm convinced that you are probably
11:10
acknowledged and i'm very proud of your accomplishments so on behalf of the fan club i wanted to present this
11:16

11:47
also you will find in that is a little uh little uh keepsake
11:53
and in that is a lucky gold token this was inspired by a chinese proverb
11:58
the carp has leaped over the dragon gates this beautiful gold coin design represents triumph over adversity
12:06
according to legend many carp swim upstream and attempt to jump the dragon gate but few prevail if a cart bravely
12:13
perseveres and completes his final leap it is rewarded for his hard work by being transformed into a powerful
12:20
golden dragon like the triumphant dragon on this 99.99 pure gold coin
12:28
from the canadian mints angelo you represent the triumphant dragon who
12:33
against all odds persevered on behalf of carp anglers ontario tourism operators and the carp fishing community

15:29
that before it could be totally insane it's all right just playing with one rod yoseo
15:34
and santa can get right can you imagine pete i mean obviously covet has stopped us
15:39
this year again two years in a row from hosting the uh the carp cup the fishing canada car cup
15:46
can you imagine next year when we have the car cut back up and running everybody there with three rods six
15:53
because there's two guys right nice six sticks they're gonna look like those crappie fishing but down on
15:59
the stage and those guys got the front of their boat they just think they go out
16:06
by the way just uh while we still have jack fresh on our minds i i also want to uh i wanted to i should
16:12
have thanked him while he was here but i want to thank him for doing such a wonderful job uh moderating the fan club i mean it has
16:19
been just a joy having there uh so much so that i spoke to jack earlier today um i
16:26
phoned him uh about uh seeing if we could get him to give us a little bit of time
16:32
and also act as a moderator on efficientcanada.com's new platform
16:38
that we're going to talk about here in a few minutes the new website the new contest platform uh the
16:44
um the section on there where people will be able to interact live with each other uh put up profiles
16:52
and all that stuff well jack has graciously uh agreed to uh
16:57
participate in that as well moderating it as well so i want to thank him for that i should have done it while he was here
17:03
but he's done a great job absolutely looking forward to it he's uh he's uh he's our copper he's our internet copper by the way
17:10
debbie you're right debbie that pitcher in the background behind ange and i is muncho lake in bc so just in case
17:16
uh you got a good eye yeah obviously you've been you've been through that versus playing window or something like that before to see that
17:22
site because you end up with good ideas just to pick that out so by the way speaking about things in the background before we move too far
17:28
away i want to i want to uh also talk about this ugly looking uh piece of artwork
17:34
here i don't know whether we've mentioned that i think we mentioned on the previous show but it ended up in my in my little set here
17:40
tonight this is the very first piece of artwork that was submitted
17:45
by uh the artist that we had commissioned uh to give us a fishing canada logo
17:52
and i think i mentioned before her name was cher and i can't recall her last name but uh this is what she came up with she
17:59
must have thought we were american or something because you can clearly see that's the american
18:05
flag we love the shape and the feel of it so we uh we took it and and you know
18:11
brought it to the level that it is today um but yeah she was responsible that was
18:16
back in 1981 by the way she did that first kidding before the show was even near
18:22
going to air it was the name that we had already selected so um but what was the first year you went
18:28
there what year was it do you remember i'm gonna say 85 but i could be wrong wow i know we shot
18:35
um in 84 or maybe even 83. oh can't that would be
18:42
or 86 i think we went there in 86 to be honest with you i think we went there in 86 but we were shooting for a couple of seasons
18:48
without it going on yeah and the only reason it went anywhere was because i i i told this story before too
18:55
and i'll throw it out there it was purely by accident what had happened was the his name was brent leviton he was the
19:01
kid who actually shot the very first fish in canada anything it was it was him and i and i
19:06
think maybe with tom brook out on lake skugog
19:12
doing a bass thing and anyways this kid we weren't shooting it for tv this kid shot it and he packaged it and that was
19:19
it you know never heard anything more of it and then apparently about a year year and a half later he was playing um in his weekly pickup hockey
19:27
uh tournament and one of the other kids that was on the bench with him his dad worked for global and somehow
19:37
that connection was made and that tape that vhs tape got into uh global and that's how it all
19:44
started so from concept to delivery was probably about two years three years time
19:49
but that's how it happened wow you know what there's a couple comments i like that logo it's just so it's so
19:55
nostalgic that it's such a cool piece of art thank god you didn't throw it away you know what i mean yeah there's two things i've kept from the
20:01
old days and you know p we got a lot of junk around this place right this is one that that's will stay
20:07
forever and do you see that one up in the mantle there right above my finger
20:12
the trophy that's a spittoon that's a spatula
20:20
what are you gonna take a leak of that in the boat when you get when you guys did have to go for you and arena had to go for a leak that's a splatoon and it was the
20:28
redmond 1985 pro bass tri-lakes championship wow and redmond chewing tobacco was the
20:36
sponsor now can you imagine that we had a chewing tobacco company sponsoring a fishing event
20:41
wow wow oh man what is going back for sure
20:48
and last but not least my buddy behind me if i didn't acknowledge him uh he spent a lot of years this bear
20:54
i've known this bear for almost 30 years and he was originally the mascot for
21:00
barclays the retail store that we had in this building years ago and then i moved him from there into the
21:07
radio booth uh for outdoor journal uh radio for a number of years and lo and behold he ends up here
21:13
tonight on the set too with a nice name you have a name for him don't you uh he was barkley i think we
21:19
all called the barkley at the time or bubba or something i can't remember now but okay anyways
21:26
i'm done now you got anything you got news or anything going on um news the only thing i came up with this week it hasn't hit fishingcanada.com but it's
21:33
kind of interesting and i don't know i saw it off of chong or dave chong's twitter account it was about a a big
21:40
mouth buffalo that was caught in the u.s so the big mo buffalo speaking of carp it's it's a carp type of fish i don't know if it's a
21:47
carp or not but it certainly is cineprint i would assume um but this fish it was either caught in minnesota
21:54
or north dakota it was a hundred it was 112 years old what
22:01
so they tested it but you know what the ear what do they call it they are the scale patterns or the olith or whatever
22:06
it is in the year they tested this fish at over a 112 years old
22:12
um and it's been proven so i bring and then so it got me thinking uh it's a
22:17
pretty good story i'll be coming up but it got me thinking about the fish that we catch and how old they are right so i looked it up so both in
22:24
dogfits right prehistoric they've been around for 150 million years right how long do you think the average
22:31
live in the wild and both in yeah well you and i
22:36
fish where we've caught them um well i i'm going to say they probably have a
22:41
long life as well i'm i'm going to uh obviously
22:49
yeah but no they probably don't on second thought you know 20 years 10 to twelve years in the wild yeah see
22:54
we're getting a 55 year old 30 years in captivity 10 to 12 years in a while now
23:00
something really interesting about this before we go on the head you know how hard headed they are how everything there's like the toughest
23:07
fish going right between them in a gar their head has got two layers of skull the skull has been
23:12
28 fused bones together the roof of the mouth is made of three bones
23:18
you know when they crush like every time we catch one the bait is annihilated no matter what you put it on it is beat up it's bent it's broken
23:24
right these things these monsters they're all bone inside you know i mean and not hard exterior but you think of your old fish but the long nose guard
23:32
for instance i looked that up i had to look at that 15 to 20 years that's it i i would have thought and they've been
23:38
around uh 100 million years so i thought you know wow it could be so our lake trout that we're catching
23:44
are older than these fish the lake trail we're catching or you know some of them are 56 years old yeah for sure the oldest fish hold on
23:54
can i take a gas yeah yeah of course the oldest fish that we have in canada yep i'm gonna say is is the um
24:02
white sturgeon absolutely without a doubt the oldest recorded white sturgeon was
24:08
104 years old and weighed 179 pounds wow
24:13
what a pig i mean some of those sturgeon that you
24:19
and i have caught out in the fraser river those you know those seven to nine footers ten footers yeah
24:25
those things are 50 years old they got to be fifty yeah so yeah so very cool very neat just just you
24:32
know just to kind of put it into context you know you never think of and people wouldn't realize that a lake trout is actually older than a guard let's say
24:38
a year per year you got 15 year old fish or 10 year old fishes you know they're they say
24:46
surprised that he's not that old by the way there was a comment up there that uh i didn't answer if you want to put it back up nick uh nick is on the board
24:54
tonight my grandson nick so if he screws up by all means uh give it to him uh what
24:59
did you do before the show started is the question uh first of all i had the retail store
25:06
barclays the retail store for uh i think three three years maybe four years prior to
25:11
uh prior to that we owned a company called ganko electric and danko uh stood for my father it was d
25:19
a and co and the d was for my dad who his name was dominic uh and the a
25:26
was for me and the end was for brother reno whose full name is nazarino
25:32
so we came up with this company called danko we were in the electrical uh uh fixture business then bulbs and
25:38
wiring and anything sort of industrial that had to do with electrical uh wholesale
25:43
and uh i did that for for i think five years prior to uh opening actually we opened the store
25:49
the retail store barclays at the same time that we had danko and they kind of overlapped
25:55
um and of course throughout that whole thing i was a fishaholic and that was my biggest problem in life
26:00
that's why i never amounted to much uh and and uh fished a lot of tournaments
26:06
uh hung out come on you gotta go before danco you got two more
26:11
you got two more sales companies that your sales uh items that you sold well the bulbs lit go where's lithgow
26:18
and danko footwear shoe villa there you go
26:26
i'm going to say 17 my brother and i opened up a footwear store called shoe villa prior
26:32
to that if you want to go way back i was 14 i was hired by a company called tom mccann shoes and i uh tricked him
26:40
see back then and i know my grandson's watching and listening but he'll he'll be surprised but you know back in
26:45
the good old days uh we were very ambitious when it came to uh finding work we would come up with
26:51
creative ways of finding work at a very young age so i went into this tom mccann shoe store
26:56
and lied my way through it i was 14 i told them i was 16 and didn't have to show any proof they
27:03
just took my word for it and by the time i was 16 i was managing the store
27:10
but i had a full beard and everything i mean you would have never known right anyways and you did do not sell vespa
27:16
scooters as well that's for scooters in between there was messenger supporters yeah you know more about you than you
27:22
know about you yeah you're right you're right we were the canadian actually we were the north american distributor for vessel scooters
27:28
for two years so that was uh man i've done a lot of things when you think about it there you go david uh david
27:35
thank you for the walk down memory lane my friend i appreciate it uh and peter if anybody uh wants to know
27:43
uh as soon as you got out of reform school at the age of 15 they put me in prison
27:49
they put me into a prison after that and he went right to prison for a couple years and they went on to become an electrician
27:54
there you go tell them the story well that's basically that's it i got
28:00
out of high school i i got my grade 12 because you needed that for a trade and i would highly recommend
28:05
any young lads out there get a trade it's a good idea still and tradesmen are at uh
28:10
uh they're they're needed right now big time let's just say that um yeah i just started an electrical apprentice at 18
28:16
years old and i stayed with that for the longest time worked with ange and reno part time and then got laid off at
28:22
one of my jobs and they said do you want a full-time gig in the fishing cannabis show i said hello
28:27
why not so there you go expansive as angelo's but we've been uh
28:33
together ever since man it's been great yeah all right um i want to uh quickly
28:40
we're getting way behind as usual what else is new but you know who cares it's not like we got you know barriers
28:47
or time constraints i do have to go home and watch the hockey game pretty soon but that's okay it's being recorded um
28:54
i want to talk about that great little contest that the fish and canada team came up with uh recently the uh the
29:01
captioning contest that was good oh my god when was the last time you and i laughed so hard
29:07
oh my god it's something like that good one william look at that painting electrician's
29:13
shocking what does he mean by that
29:20
that's hilarious yeah that was a fun contest and we i don't know how many i think jordan or somebody told us how
29:25
many entrants we had was hundreds upon 400 3 4 500 something like that uh entries for this caption contest we
29:32
didn't know how well it would uh um you know how well it would be received and all that but it got received very well and
29:37
uh and i will say there was a lot of consistent and a lot of consistent captions you
29:44
know we had a lot to choose from and hopefully nobody's offended that we didn't choose theirs because we had fun doing it but but there was a lot of them that
29:50
were so similar is like god there's 15 of these if you pick one of them you're not you know somebody else is
29:55
going to get mad it was just unreal how many you know worked along this some dead stuff it was zombie pictures right there was a zombie
30:01
picture with us in the foreground so um but it was so much fun picking and choosing and
30:07
and the four of the five finalists and i both had them down as our top five
30:13
so that was a that was a given for one we thought we're sure to be ten you know what we did just so that you understand
30:20
how weird that was is that uh pete and i were commissioned with picking our top ten out of the whole
30:27
bunch and we were we were not together when we were doing it so pete was picking his
30:32
top ten i was picking my top ten and then the deal was that we were going to cross
30:38
pollinate those two lists and see how many we had both picked and
30:43
consequently those would end up as the finalists that you the audience ended up voting for and like they just
30:49
said you know half of them pretty much half them we both agreed were the funniest ones and it's funny because the one that ended up winning we
30:55
both picked this number one as well so uh we have we're we're thinking along the same lines but it was
31:00
absolutely hilarious um and of course for those of you who don't know what that was
31:08
the winning entry uh was simply uh fish the nuke plant they said it'll be
31:15
fun they said
31:21
that was good uh that's a good one i mean they're all good but that was we just we both said yeah that's number
31:27
one we like that just it hit us both like i just we both laughed at it as soon as we heard it you
31:32
know i mean as soon as you read it so honorable honorable mention and by the way that that gentleman's name was mike
31:38
um i don't have the notes on friday first name was mike because i just signed his hat that he won an autographed hat um honorable
31:45
mentions the number two position was wrong type of crawlers dude that's cool
31:51
too i liked it it was close now there was a lot speaking of that there was a lot of crawler ones
31:56
nightcrawler ones there was all kinds of you know there was a lot of that crawly crawler you know zombies to
32:01
talk so we had to choose pick and choose between those ones we had to take one of them because it's a perfect word for those guys
32:07
crawlers right so uh then a little bit of an r-rated one wtf did you eat last night
32:17
again that one was pretty easy to pick that one's come out of my mouth a lot through the last one whatever whatever
32:24
stinky butt okay uh then uh i think your seminar went a little long
32:31
[Laughter] you shut the hell up in other words
32:36
of course this one here it could have been number one too as far as i'm concerned uh and it simply says we're still
32:44
fishing right yeah you know what that one that's interesting to everybody else because ange and i love that one we thought that was the
32:51
best and everybody else said what everybody else here said why do you like that one and so this sucks you know
32:56
what i mean we just i thought it was great it means you're hardcore you're at it let's get out or that's who cares what's going on right
33:03
there's a couple more answers i just want to say there was a few more that i there was a couple like we always uh
33:09
people always ask us about the other entertainers the other anglers the other tv shows and all that so they did
33:15
there was a few that some other tv shows involved so there's one that just says uh i think i just saw henry and italo yeah
33:22
that was pretty good and then uh geez pete the azumi the izumi brothers haven't aged that
33:27
well so that was another one that was pretty good but my favorite of all them of all them and i read it a
33:33
hundred times and i've laughed every time it came from a lady named arlene a girl lady named arlene and it simply says did you [ __ ]
33:41
your pants i love that one i sat there and i
33:46
laughed for five minutes but i spread that first and i had i had to let arlene know that that was that was my favorite arlene but it
33:53
was 2r rated we couldn't do it for you so by the way tanya says our winner announcement went a little too long
34:01
right there tanya i think your contest winner announcements went a little long
34:06
there you go yeah what do you mean by that i don't know i'm just i just thought i'd throw it up there
34:13
we have an announcement that's what she's probably saying right oh she wants to she wants to know whether she won the garmin unit or not
34:18
that's what
34:24
chris yeah uh yes i do did i don't haven't hunted in a long time but there's jackson i i used to hunt
34:30
ducks a lot um like it was nuts in the falcon fall and then uh some upland game my dad and i used to do
34:37
a lot of upland stuff but partridge mostly like rock grouse and uh and a bit of small game never had
34:42
a big game uh never wanted to take the time to do it because i know it's a very involved sport i know i'd get involved
34:48
with a huge so i thought you know what with ducks and fishing that's enough there was another one earlier the guy somebody asked about nappanee just to
34:54
let you know that i was uh i i lived in napanee for many years so i did uh great seven and eight in abundant and
35:00
then all my high school anatomy then i moved after i finished high school into into my electrical career so
35:05
there you go for that one too so barry's watching from turks and caicos i'm literally like that oh my god well
35:12
they've been born fixing a barracuda fishing yesterday hey barry oh my god man beautiful good
35:18
job buddy i wanna also let let you know first of all there's another a photo coming out
35:24
very shortly i think uh early next week uh for for captioning so keep up your
35:30
your work on that it's fantastic it's funny we are going to be looking forward to it every every month
35:36
but there's another uh uh contest coming out from our group and uh i think it's
35:43
coming out in about a month's time and it'll run at the same time as the captioning contest
35:49
does and it's going to be um called the backlash hall of shame
35:57
so what we're going to do is ask you to submit evidence usually
36:04
a photo or video of your worst backlash ever and we are going peter and
36:12
i will select the winners in this case uh i believe or is it up to the it might even be up the audience how do i think
36:18
of it anyways we can yeah we could make we could choose that uh make that part of it
36:23
bottom line is every month we're gonna pick the most notable backlash that deserves to
36:30
be uh moved right into the backlash hall of shame so it needs to be
36:37
inducted immediately as soon as soon as we pick it it's going right in along with a whole package of goodies
36:42
and stuff should be good that should be good and you know what don't i don't buy professional recoils
36:50
um just to let them right now too i know everybody's thinking bait casters but i've seen some nasty ass spinning messes
36:57
too so so if you have a bad one with a spinning gear and you want to submit it it might not you know it'll get noticed trust me so
37:04
the best you know the best part would be if somebody takes a shot of their buddy
37:10
their partner their their father their son their sister their brother their mother
37:15
whoever that you're fishing with you know we all get them it's nothing to be embarrassed about but normally you know you try and hide
37:21
in the corners and you don't want to give up right you don't want to but it'd be great if somebody took a picture without them knowing
37:28
oh they admitted it and then it and then it was selected and then we make this big announcement
37:34
and bring them on air with us and be hello video with audio we want to hear all the
37:39
swearing that goes on we might have to bleep it but we want to hear it for sure uh there you go there you you're welcome
37:47
hey we're having as much fun doing this as you guys are so well it's not all because we're we're uh
37:53
we're in love here we we we do it because we're selfish because this is a lot of fun for us too so uh yes anyways um
38:02
before we get on to because we're getting very close here to the time by the way we're the reason
38:07
we're not announcing the winner yet because in the rules it states that the contest will officially close at 7 00
38:14
p.m yeah so god forbid should we draw it before 7 p.m
38:19
somebody's going to say ah you said it was 6 59 so we have to wait till 7 p.m can we get a shot of that guys with our
38:26
prizes i know it's sitting there in the camera zone i wonder if we could just scroll down hello oh look at that beauty

38:39

38:59
package all together it's it's a hefty beast you're going to say whoa is that ever you know it got some some
39:05
weight to it but wow i think performs like crazy so uh we would like to apologize in advance to
39:10
whoever wins this unit it will uh definitely alter your life you will spend a lot of time uh running this baby and
39:18
watching it and looking at it and then you you'll you'll find yourself saying oh okay well i gotta get back to
39:23
fishing here it is so interesting you'll be so intrigued by what it does yeah that it it'll change
39:31
the way you fish there's no question about it and the nice part about it is the type of brand there's a lot of information
39:36
available uh on it the folks at radio world uh probably are the leading experts in
39:42
canada on this technology and um they uh they're just uh no more than a
39:48
phone call or url email away to help you with it by the way very quickly
39:53
just to let you know radio world i think it's jack might correct me here but i think tonight there they're uh
40:00
their pricing is going to go up after tonight on the garmin units they have special pricing on garmin units for sale at radio world
40:06
right now i think today is the last day so after tonight tomorrow the prices will go up on it and they have some
40:12
wailing deals on the garmin universe there too folks just let you know so so for those of you who have not put
40:18
your ballot in for today you need to do it the next great richard richard no ange is not
40:25
doing this draw okay smiley face
40:30
richard pete is not either we have we have just said we're not doing it we're going to be part of it we have the system all set up we know exactly how
40:36
it's going to work but we are not going to do it tonight i want to be perfectly clear on the screw-up
40:43
it wasn't mine it was not supposed to have anything to do with it to start with
40:49
it was mr bowman who decided last minute no i don't want to do it you do it and that's when it all started so hey i
40:56
won't take any flag for that all right just so you know all right
41:02
or oh jack get everything there sorry that's okay i want to talk quickly about the poll that we had up uh
41:08
on the last show because peter and i got into a little uh disagreement
41:14
oh no he ended up agreeing once jakubski came on your nose went up his butt
41:20
[Laughter]
41:31
show the full results so this is the the poll do you agree with the zone 20 past season changes which is the
41:38
the extended season which right now zone 20 lake ontario and the bay quinty
41:43
the bass season largemouth and smallmouth is actually open right now and will stay open until may
41:49
10th it will close uh and then go back to the opening of largemouth i think it's the
41:55
third saturday in june and then don't quote me on this but i think and then two weeks later the smallmouth opens so they're
42:00
extending the closed season on smallmouth during the spawn um but the season is now open for the
42:06
first time ever in southern ontario and just to let everybody know over half of this province of ontario has already had this they got a year
42:13
round there's no close season on it for not [Music]
42:28
75 available yeah it's okay with the change and 25 are saying no 190 people said no sir i
42:35
don't like it so um i'm a bit surprised that you answered i'm shocked i'm not surprised i'm shocked i thought
42:42
my brethren had my back i thought i thought based on on what i was seeing during the live broadcast that this was
42:49
going to be an overwhelming landslide obviously i was wrong a lot of you want
42:55
more and and um and so here's listen
43:01
i i i i like fishing as much as the next guy you know anybody who who who doubts that
43:07
doesn't know me but i want to be responsible you know there's a reason why we have such a great fishery in this country in
43:14
this province in this area it's because we have tremendous management tools in place
43:19
and one i one of those tools i believe that we have that a lot of jurisdictions
43:25
do not have we have very tight scheduled seasons
43:30
and they don't fluctuate they're in stone and they're heavily enforced that is opening and closing seasons and
43:37
they're put in most cases they're put in place for a reason
43:42
so here's my thinking on this bass fishing is quickly becoming the
43:48
number one sport fish in this province and i don't care what anybody says and argues that no it's walleye no it's trout no it's
43:55
this no it's not bass fishing is quickly catching on i think carp fishing is going to surprise people in the next
44:01
four or five years but right now bass is growing at an unbelievable pace
44:08
so and especially in some bodies of water especially here in southern ontario so i i just believe that we are
44:16
so uh blessed with this incredible smallmouth and
44:22
largemouth bass fishery that we should not look a gift horse in the mouth i for one see absolutely nothing wrong
44:30
with giving that species a break during the off-season i just i i i just
44:37
don't need to go bug them because i know how wonderful it's going to be come opening season so
44:44
that was was and is and will always be my take on this regardless of how this moves forward
44:52
i know that most of you are are well intentioned i know of of the 500
44:58
and change that voted against me i know you are well intentioned and you believe that everybody is a true
45:04
sportsman such as yourself sports woman sports man sports person
45:09
such as yourself but unfortunately we don't live in the perfect world and i just see this
45:17
i just don't see anything positive from it i really and truly don't so uh mr bowman my colleague will
45:24
will argue that but what can i tell you i don't think it's right i think and you
45:30
know i talked about this topic on on the radio show for for years before it was even brought up
45:37
uh because my good friend and co-host on uh outdoor journal radio gord paiser a former biologist with m
45:44
r uh well him and i conferred on this numerous times because the argument was always well you
45:51
know in florida they don't have an open and closed season and and look at the wonderful bass fishing they have now first of all
45:57
florida has 12 months of growing season for these fish
46:02
not three months like we have here they have a tremendous fishery down
46:08
there absolutely they do and they are open year-round i agree with you 100 but
46:13
it's totally different comparing apples to cucumbers you can't do that
46:18
and so i just don't that's that's it this one sorry i got carried away again you do
46:24
not need to apologize you have an opinion you are allowed your opinion and you said your opinion all right okay
46:31
before we get to the contest um [Laughter]
46:37
i love it can we talk about the uh great ontario
46:43
getaway giveaway for bubble if we can do this yes we're the biggest contest of its kind ever
46:48
in the history in the history of the fishing community in this country
46:55
high there's low and there's never been anything even remotely close to this so let's let's talk about it for a couple of minutes before we give away
47:01
that wonderful garmin uh prize by the way um would you like to start us off mr bowman
47:08
well today i would say it may not just be the biggest in canada this thing might be the biggest in north
47:14
america or bigger for a contest like this an internet contest you know what i mean um fishingcanada.com is the host of it
47:22
so um at a hundred thousand dollars were the prizes that that will be guaranteed to be given
47:28
away you know what i mean um these th this is uh this is huge this is absolutely
47:34
massive i mean so so uh before we we get into the the rules and regulations i just want to
47:39
acknowledge some folks last time i didn't do it so now i'm going to acknowledge some people who are
47:46
instrumental in putting this contest together with us first and foremost uh david mclaughlin uh from dno
47:53
destination north ontario he's also the owner um uh of the 40
47:59
i believe 46 year old uh uh lodge 88. uh david
48:06
sort of wears both hats he owns the lodge but he also uh is the executive director for destination north ontario now
48:13
now dno basically looks after most of the north and north western part of the
48:18
province in terms of marketing their fishing and david and i um have been talking
48:24
about this for like i said six seven months and and the the problem has always been
48:30
uh how do we really address the problem the problem is that we have
48:35
1200 plus operators in this part of the world these are licensed operators of lodges
48:42
resorts uh outfitting camps outpost camps uh fly uh uh
48:49
air bases uh amphibious air bases all that stuff and the problem was it's great we can
48:55
have a contest we can do a marketing a campaign we can do all this wonderful stuff but
49:01
we've got to come up with a way of putting some money because what they need is some money how do we put money back into the lodge
49:07
owner's pocket because if you give stuff away generally it means that nobody makes any money yes it's
49:12
great because the exposure and the branding and the experience and the word of mouth
49:18
and all that stuff absolutely 100 but how can we also get a little bit of coin into the operator's cash register so
49:27
we came up with this wonderful idea between david mclaughlin peter and myself
49:32
laurie from noto who is a very important element here heather
49:39
and rob from algoma region jerry cario from sunset country
49:45
uh sarah decker from dno um daniel uh aqua from superior country
49:53
so a lot of people carol caputo from destination ontario the old otmp not
49:59
that she's old but the old tmp oh oh good one good size i do have to say that because you know she's gonna catch me on that one
50:05
uh so she was uh instrumental in um in doing that um and don't forget teddy
50:12
putnam ted has been helping us on this too that's part of a you know up in the sunset so he's even helped us on this so okay
50:19
what the hell is that on there but somebody in here thinking that you know when you do a live thing it's just okay
50:24
to just come in and talk to me while i'm on so uh so what do we got nick someone super chatted you they donated
50:31
three dollars so the fishing magician donated uh 2.99 on our behalf
50:41
because giveaways aren't cheap wow fishing magician wow well now we got
50:48
one hundred thousand and two dollars and ninety nine cents thank you and thank you for walking in
50:54
because that was i didn't notice it i was just i know you don't know you know what i thought somebody was selling something
50:59
on there i thought how the hell did they get on there i honest to god i didn't even know thank you dick
51:04
uh i also want to uh acknowledge uh some of our own people here uh we we
51:10
often don't give them enough credit for what we do what peter and i do because without them uh we wouldn't even
51:17
be doing this and that is uh jordan and uh uh now nick um
51:23
that uh are instrumental in putting these these events on um for sure
51:30
so there you go those are the people responsible for what we're about to tell you what we're about to tell you is that
51:35
starting uh tomorrow april 1st it's not an april fool's joke at noon the brand new
51:44
fishingcanada.com website which they've been busily our developers
51:50
have been working on uh will be launched at the same time to
51:56
coincide with the new platform that will uh host the
52:02
great ontario getaway giveaway contest all happening at noon and all you need
52:08
to do to be a contestant or a voter is go to fishingcanada.com where the garmin
52:15
button is now it'll be replaced at noon tomorrow with the new identification you click onto it you
52:21
uh will open an account because this is not just your ordinary contest
52:28
there is so much uh social and we're building a community
52:33
within the site and so we need everybody to get active and involved uh the idea here is that you
52:39
will all be talking to each other the idea here is we're all going to be comparing notes not just users of our resource but
52:46
also the lodge operators the lodge owners the pilots uh the uh everybody who works in the
52:52
industry they'll all have accounts there and people are going to be interacting every moment of every day
52:57
you want a question answered on fishing in northern ontario that's the place you want to be but more
53:02
importantly once you open your account you'll be instructed to put up either a still picture an image or preferably
53:11
a video of uh how you've been coping with the pandemic
53:17
how you've used the outdoors to help you get through this covet 19
53:22
pandemic that we're on and that can be as simple as you know walking the dog it's an outdoor activity or you weren't
53:29
mountain climbing that that extreme obviously if it's fishing related you might get more attention right yeah
53:38
you can go with peter and fish bass out of season and say that's that's how you're coping with colbert
53:43
right in season my friend it is in season you said out of season you made a presumptuous bad move right there
53:50
you are you just lost four points okay okay carry on um
53:58
one thing about these i got i want to reiterate on this contest folks when you're listening here read
54:03
the rules this is one you need to read the rules at least once you know what i mean you get yourself because you have to click on you read
54:09
the rules anyways i mean that always happens in contests but this is going to be from your logs trip
54:15
that you will win will be every trip involved there's going to be different areas but they're all going to be from a certain
54:21
designated hub so you're not going to win the trip from your house you're not going to win the trip from
54:26
alberta all the way to toronto and then all the way to the north and then all the lots no
54:31
no no you're going to go to the sault ste marie if that's the hub and then from the hub they get you to
54:38
the lodge be it a train be it a plane be it an automobile whatever it takes like that so it's going to be from a hub so it's not
54:43
there is going to be that to deal with it's not going to be a bad thing it's a good thing it's all we could do to keep the money
54:50
to go to the lodge because 100 of those money are going to the lodges right and it's not necessarily just the lodge
54:55
we mentioned before uh float paint plane operators and uh uh amphibious uh plane bases they're all
55:03
hurting because other parts so the reason that we're paying for everything that will put money
55:10
into those people's bank accounts yeah we're not interested in putting money in to you know making and and don't take
55:17
this the wrong way but that's not our purpose is not to try and help finance mainstream operations
55:23
we're here this contest is about helping people in the north we're making it very
55:29
plain and simple so anybody that has a business that is involved in northern tourism
55:34
we've included them in this contest so that means this be said you know you might have to get yourself
55:39
to sault ste marie for example if that's a base that that is being used for that
55:44
particular trip that you win or or or if it's a drive to you can drive all the way through i mean it's
55:50
it's going to be basically up to you but the all expense starts from the predetermined
55:56
hub to that particular outfitter okay that's a good point that drive to is a
56:01
good point it's because you will drive right to the lodge your trip starts from there you pay for your gas to get to the lodge but that's
56:07
it once you get close the doors hey everybody i'm here it's on everybody let's go
56:13
and so the way that that that you're going to um that that it's going to be determined as
56:19
to what your destination is it's very simple we will have hundreds of lodge operators
56:26
in a drum and at the end of each segment which is at the end of each of the five
56:31
months the contest will run for five months from april tomorrow right through to the
56:37
end of august so each of the five month segments at the end of the month we will be
56:43
looking at the top five vote getters this is not you're going to earn this whoever wins these
56:50
trips have worked hard and they've earned them and i'll tell you why here in a minute so we're going to take those top five uh
56:57
and then we are going to live here on the show we're going to match you up with a
57:03
randomly drawn outfitter so once you've won
57:08
we'll draw out of the virtual drum your connection and you won't know until that draw is
57:14
made and then we'll read on the air you'll find out the same time we will what and where
57:20
your trip is going to be so it's going to be exciting and let me tell you we've pete and i
57:25
have had the privilege of seeing some of the entries because the operator makes up his own package and the only
57:33
the only thing we ask these operators is you need to put together your absolute
57:39
dream trip of a lifetime your top deal whatever that's going to be
57:45
you need to put it together as a prize and we will pay you full value for it so these guys did not
57:51
scrimp and save trust me some of these trips peter and i were drooling over them these are nice packages folks they said whoever
57:59
wins these things and there's gonna be a lot of winners and you're gonna have some really nice trips in there
58:05
how come they didn't roll out the red carpet when we went to these places all of a sudden they're all five-star now
58:12
still kidding right so so the idea of this event is to uh put your best foot
58:19
forward best image best story because you need to give us
58:24
a story in 200 characters or less or 200 words or less one of the two
58:30
anyways you'll see it we have all the rules and regulations going up tomorrow on the site but you need to
58:35
write a very compelling story on how you're coping with this pandemic
58:40
and it's not to convince us but it's to convince the masses because you are going to be in control
58:47
of your own destiny you're going to be garnering votes you want people to come and vote for you
58:53
so first of all you need to reach out to people there will be hundreds of thousands of people that are already on
58:58
the site that you want you want them to look at your story in your image you want them to to be drawn to you immediately
59:05
and read your story and say i like that and this story doesn't have to be a sad story like the one i i read on air
59:12
last time we were on uh about the two gentlemen who had been going fishing together for years and one had a
59:19
recently had a brain problem and anyway they don't have to be about that that's not necessarily the
59:24
winners so you want to attract people to vote you want people to vote for you
59:30
because those people have a very valuable commodity they have five votes every day that they can cast you want to
59:36
make sure that you get one of those five from as many as you can every day including by the way your own circle
59:42
your own social community the people that win these trips are going to be the ones that connect with their own
59:49
group and not rely on some stranger buying into your story that's the way i
59:55
do it i'll tell you right now i would not leave it up to chance i would go out and i would drum up my own
1:00:01
boats and and that's basically it so at the end of each month we'll take those top five the next month
1:00:10
we're going to start from zero so all those votes that you got but you didn't win with
1:00:16
they're not going to waste but that next month's contest is going to start at zero everybody is going to be set at zero so
1:00:23
we all have an equal chance for the next month however all of those votes that you received
1:00:28
they're going to be transformed into ballots the reason being is that when this is all over
1:00:34
we're going to take all of the non-winners because you can only win this once you can win three different ways
1:00:41
but you can only win it once so then we're going to take all the non-voters and give you a chance
1:00:46
to win because we're going to have a random draw from all of the votes that have turned into ballots now for you voters you're saying well
1:00:53
what's in it for me well i'll tell you what's in it for you at the end of the event we're going to have a voter's
1:01:00
draw with all of the ballots because those ballots used to be votes we're going to convert them into ballots
1:01:06
that means that the more votes the more voting you've done during the the the event that's for the
1:01:12
entire five months the greater your odds the greater your chances of being drawn for one of the many uh trips that we're
1:01:18
going to give away at the end as a random draw for two and it'll be the same thing we'll we'll be drawing and then that
1:01:24
winner will be matched with a lodge uh and it's all going to be done here live god help us all with the calamity that
1:01:30
we usually have for live events but we should get good by the end of that one shouldn't we
1:01:36
yeah lots of practice okay chris is right chris is absolutely right 7 p.m i think
1:01:42
everybody's been waiting for this uh for this great garmin giveaway show that unit again nick
1:01:47
or jordan whoever's uh for that lovely lovely prize package i'll go over
1:01:53
that again very very uh very quickly it's a panoptix live garmin panoptix livescope
1:01:58
ice kit so what's in in this kit is a nine inch uhd screen ultra high definition
1:02:05
head unit screen it's got the ice fishing pole that you put together and down in the
1:02:12
hole and it rotates and rotates for your life scope it's got the light scope transducer that's the only transducer that is with
1:02:18
this package but that doesn't mean that it can't be used for something else you can buy yourself a gt52 gt54 gt56 add that on with a
1:02:26
suction cup and now you've got a great little uh portable unit that you can use all year long along with live scope or you can

1:02:38

1:03:18
some interesting comments uh about the uh the contest coming up and and and calvin
1:03:24
by the way calvin uh nice to see you with us again uh
1:03:29
he's got it right you know there's going to be a lot of political posturing he says going on

1:03:42
as a contestant in the contest with your own picture your own story you want to attract votes but you also
1:03:48

1:06:22
lot of us are confused a lot of us are frustrated a lot of a lot of us are upset a lot of us have
1:06:28
got a lot of emotions right now that we're dealing with and this is just a small little way that we can all sort
1:06:33
of bury them for at least a short period of time yeah yeah you know what i really like care answer you

anything you know why because they know that they've got a chance starting tomorrow to win something fantastic oh
1:06:52
and by the way by the way here's a little by the way uh i just wanted to throw this in
1:06:58
uh i had a wonderful chat with the folks from princecraft a couple of days ago uh-oh and i just
1:07:04
want to announce uh that we will be giving away a couple of more
1:07:09
boat motor trailer combos no kidding yeah you didn't even tell me that i know i
1:07:15
know i did i know i didn't i didn't want to uh you know jordan jordan or nick can either you guys hear
1:07:21
me if you can how many ballots were uh were in this uh
1:07:27
i think their guys were asking or how many but jason have i'm not sure i'd like to somebody asked the question so is there
1:07:32
a number of ballots that uh that jason had will say i don't know we if we give that information or how much ballots in total were in this contest by
1:07:40
the way while they're doing that i want to address one of the comments that was made here because i think it's important that we do
1:07:46
uh and i can't see it now i i don't know who wrote it but somebody said hey they ought to change your name to the fishing
1:07:52
ontario show well if you're referring to the current
1:07:58
season that's on television right now being ontario only it's very simple we
1:08:03
made a conscious decision not to expose our team
1:08:09
uh last year and so it was a group decision we decided that we would not be
1:08:15
traveling period and so we did and so the episodes that you're watching uh
1:08:21
are our direct reflection on that as far as you know as far as saying the fish and
1:08:27
canada show are nothing you know there's nothing but a bunch of homies i i have to disagree with you because i don't think there is
1:08:33
a canadian fishing show that has traveled as much as the fish and canada
1:08:39
group has over the last 38 years from coast to coast so um i i hate to disagree with you but
1:08:48
i think you're totally off with that comment and uh that's it you're here here okay all
1:08:55
right back to the back of the garmin draw so jason okay i'll go with the total first
1:09:00
the total number of ballots in this garmin draw get this 1 million five hundred and sixty four
1:09:08
thousand three hundred and thirty six total balls 564 336 holy crap that's a lot of
1:09:16
ballots wow a lot of people wanted a garmin unit for sure and jason okay this tells you how persistence and
1:09:22
perseverance works many times he had 643 ballots in didn't uh didn't our winner of the
1:09:29
princecraft boat motor trailer uh didn't she have 600 and change too i can't remember anne's what she had
1:09:35
i know uh i think she did the number but that's i mean that's persistence right that's jason worked
1:09:40
for that garment unit he got himself a 4 000 beautiful ice package now you know what
1:09:46
i mean like that's uh good work jason well that's awesome people get what they
1:09:51
people you know you get what you put into things right i i'm i'm i'm telling you
1:09:56
there's i'm probably one of the oldest ones here in this in this program right now and i can tell you
1:10:02
from personal experience that every time i try and take a shortcut every time i try and cheat i don't get
1:10:08
much right scott says all those ballots i have a better shot at getting pregnant
1:10:13
that's from scott oh my god that's funny
1:10:21
that's fantastic congratulations uh congratulations to jason cole from sudbury uh we'll be reaching out to
1:10:28
you obviously you're not with us tonight on uh live and that was not a prerequisite
1:10:33
nor will it be in any of the future contests unless we have something that we're going to give away
1:10:39
live on the air in which case we'll announce it and it'll only be available for those people but this was not the
1:10:44
case and uh that's exciting man it's exciting that is that is awesome
1:10:52
oh we're trying to get them on the stream right now okay sorry they're they're gonna try and they're
1:10:57
trying to call them right now so hopefully we can get them on here just to let everybody know i don't know who's ever fished in the sudbury area
1:11:03
but my my mother's so whole family was from sudbury my mom lived in several she was a nurse up there for a long time
1:11:09
um so part of our summer holidays we're always fishing up in the sudbury area and then basically that's where i i
1:11:16
learned to fish i mean in that and all those little lakes that are around we never fished in the big lakes or right in the lakes in the city
1:11:22
but there's all kinds of lakes typical of northern ontario or northern canada basically you just go a little bit north
1:11:28
and there's just all these little potholes lakes rivers and streams that are that are uh loaded with fish so i have a
1:11:33
lot of great fishing experiences and memories history from the sedbury area it was just it's
1:11:40
where i learned a bass fish you know i mean the walleye the blue pickle whatever you call a man's that's the only place i
1:11:45
think i've ever caught the blue walleye uh is in that area so it's uh it's a great fishing community and very you know
1:11:52
geographically uh phenomenal area what are you laughing at jd hogg says yeah but
1:11:57
only one out of the 1.5 million is is all it took to win good point
1:12:04
by the way pete this is for you and anybody else who wants to listen uh peter and i were uh were discussing a
1:12:10
particular lake called harwood lake uh horwood lake sorry a couple of days
1:12:16
ago uh because something had come up and and so neither one of us could kind of
1:12:21
get the answers that we needed so i did some i had some intel going and uh i got a good friend of mine who
1:12:27
fishes that lake on a regular basis out of timmins oh yeah and uh guess where we're gonna go this
1:12:34
year oh yes good one he says he regularly gets between seven and eight
1:12:41
to nine pounders and he says at least one double digit fish is caught
1:12:49
every trip into it holy crap his personal best 14 9.
1:12:56
okay sign me up and you know what the best part is he told me i'm probably not supposed to be telling this to
1:13:02
but there's nobody watching this anyway so i he probably will be pissed at me but i gotta you know
1:13:08
what they're fishing vertical granite walls that drop into 40 feet of water do you
1:13:16
remember the pattern we used on um for bass on uh
1:13:21
on uh oh uh hasty lake you know that granite wall that we
1:13:26
fished oh yeah yeah same pattern for walleye anyway the way he was
1:13:31
describing it to me the the granite wall have got all those you know those crevices and little caves
1:13:37
and nooks and crannies and the fish are going in and out of them picking off
1:13:43
uh uh food wow and so yeah they dropped they dropped their uh
1:13:49
their jigs down those granite walls boom big big i thought you were going to be saying like trolling open water
1:13:55
patterns or something you know something and we also use a lot of uh uh uh float
1:14:01
jigging there yeah because the fish aren't always you know in any particular so they'll use a slip
1:14:07
float yeah i love that that's fun fish man so we have to look into that
1:14:16
because oh yeah that would be fantastic so austin one million five hundred thousand
1:14:21
other people now that's fine for sure
1:14:27
people there's a lot of people in the industry that wish i would go away and just you know not uh not say things back why
1:14:34
