So get your butt to a pint night and we'll see you on stage. Welcome back to another episode of Cutting the Distance Podcast. I'm Dirk Durham and I'm in the beautiful state of Oregon with my good friend Ron Hewitt. Now Ron is a man who I admire and look up to. He's like almost like a

I think I think society today kind of misses out on some of that you know

there's such a big push with some political folks to take down the patriarchy and all this stuff.

and have kind of learned,

went through life, done some things, made mistakes,

made the right choices,

and here we are talking about turkey hunting

and elk hunting. What am I doing in Oregon?

Well, I'm over here at Ron's. Every year for the last four years he's hosted me, he's like,
