Welcome to the Vortex Nation podcast brought to you by lovers of hunting, shooting, public

lands, the Second Amendment, and good food.

Alright, what is up everybody? I have Jim to my right and Chris from Vortex Edge across

from us. Jim, real quick, people, they're missing you. Because you know, you're kind of

you flow in and out. You're like water. That's what people with the Vortex Nation podcast,

people like, yeah, it's not the same. I agree. Thanks. I like having you here. I like

having Chris more though. Chris, what's up dude? How are you guys doing man? Good.

In a minute. Yeah. Look at that. Is that is that the classic Wisconsin passive aggressive

or was that just aggressive? What is Wisconsin passive aggressive that you always talk about?

Wisconsin passive aggressive. Maybe it's midwest. I don't know. I don't even know what. That

was something new entirely. It was a new level. That was cruel. Yeah. It was kind of targeting.

Here I started off with a compliment, just completely ruined it. Sorry. Backhanded. Yeah.

Well, no. That would be like, wow, you lost way more weight than I ever would have thought you

could have. That's like a good backhand compliment. I don't know. You're still fat. Whatever you did,

I just don't know what to call it, but it was. I'm not sitting here thinking myself,

dad, just hit mom at the table. Let's put it that way. So you are not. I'm not getting that

vibrate. Okay. What I was trying to do was because I am so excited about having Chris here

that I was trying to like, I was trying to be like, convey that. But in the process, I was a jerk.

Yeah. You know, it took us. It took us a really long time to finally start recording.

And now we're already still just completely fine. We're giving the people they want. Right.

So I don't think they know. We're done this episode thinking they were going to talk about

AR-15s for home defense. That sounded like the robot at the self-check out aisle.
