Boom, let's do it, let's hit the ground running, let's go, here we go, right now, let's do it, let's go. Hey, I'm Ank Patterson.

World Around Fly Fishing Expert Outdoor Guide and host to this show,

Hank Patterson's Outdoor Misadventures,

and I'm the only one here today. To hell with the

rest of them, right? Last week I did this alone. I can do this alone every week. It's not as good.

For sure, I mean it's much better if I have a guest I know but you can

understand people don't like me they don't want to be around me and and I'm not

friendly is the word but anyway so I'm here alone today but well I'm not

alone right we're all together you the listener make up half of this

conversation I say that all the time. Whenever I do an episode alone, I remind you that you are a part of this conversation. You're just not real talkative right now. But me, I've got lots of stuff to share. Anyway so nobody

could be here today. Kevin had some stuff come up. It's a long story and I don't

know the entire story because I hung up on him halfway through it.

Because I'm like, dude, this is a long story.

I don't give you shit anymore.

Can you be here or not?

No, click.

Boom.

You know, it's like, I can't be there because.

And about the word because.

I'm like, click click don't care you know I mean it's it's because it

doesn't matter you know the it's a yes or no question can you be here yes no not yes

with an explanation it's yes or no.
