Hey guys, just a couple of things before we get into the latest episode of the podcast.

0:05.3

First of all, it's so good to be home from California. I'm back at the beach, surf casting,

0:11.6

going for striped bass, just relaxing and enjoying the day. I'm doing what's called

0:17.6

reweezing. That's right, reweezing. Reweezing to me is fishing on a day like this, just living

0:23.4

in the freaking moment. Arpal Carl totally understood that. I hope you take that from Carl and

0:31.4

use that for the rest of your life to really enjoy the moment with the people around you.

0:36.1

And remember this, the future don't mean shit, the past don't mean shit. No matter

none. He threw a celebration party that was amazing. He opened up his house. I was coming and going

1:38.8

to Guy's house off and on. There was one party where it was for everybody that was part of the

1:43.8

Food Network special tribute show for Carl. And then he calls me and goes, oh, you coming back

1:50.0

to my house? I'm like, I thought we did it already. Guy, he goes, no, man, I'm having a housewarming

1:54.4

party and I want you to be there. So me and Matt Farr for the smoking tire, we drove up and
