earlier today. Ladies and gentlemen, a member of the FanDuel family, number two overall in the FedEx standings as we go in to playoffs happening in the biggest time to be a golfer and golf fan is right around the corner. Ladies and gentlemen, legend American, Jordan Spence. What's up, man? Nothing. How are y'all doing? Hey, just hanging out. Congrats on the FanDuel relationship. What do you got cooking over there? What do you got going on? We're doing, we did a little shooting. Yeah, we're out at Hamilton Farms and just kind of starting out the relationship, doing some stuff just to get started and should be kind of fun. I think the commercial will be pretty cool when it gets going too. Nice. Did you have to do some acting in there? Do you have any, do you do anything sweet or is it just golfing? Yeah, no, it's, yeah, there was some acting. It's more, it's more kind of like some, yeah, some like cockiness acting, like looking at the camera while you putt, that kind of stuff, not like normal swings. Just, I think they're going to try and get creative with it. Okay, so let's talk about that because I think you were the one to introduce this to my life and I might be wrong thinking here, but whenever Jordan Spieth came and took over the world, all right, with his math teacher guy. Oh no! Just built something over here, but we'll get to that later. You, I think you were the guy who looked at the hole inside like five feet or something like that, whatever you were, you didn't even look at the ball. Was that you? Yeah, yeah, that was me. You do that? Well, I try. I can never do it, Jordan. I don't know how, I don't know how, do you still do that? Yeah, sometimes. It just kind of depends. It's kind of a feeler for me. I did it, I did it because it, if I, I normally hit it where I was looking. So if I looked at the front edge of the hole in the center of the hole or if it was like a right edge putt, I'd normally, it took kind of the mechanics out of it. So it was something for me that works, works under pressure sometimes. How often do you change your swing or mindset going in? For instance, I'll just give you my thing. Whenever I was doing my best punting in the NFL, which is similar to golf, you have to do it so much more often.  I don't know how you guys make contact on that regular of a basis, but every game I was almost, like there was a new thing I was right before the game thinking about, like, okay, I'm going to hold on to it a little bit longer here. I'm going to turn it this way. Swing needs to go straight through. I was always thinking about my swing and what I was doing. And this is when I think everybody was looking up at me at this point too. And I was still trying to continue to change it. I never rested on anything.  Have you stuck with the same one? And it's just kind of come and gone at different times of your career?  Like you would, you could probably relate if you're, if you're kind of in the zone, you're more kind of just looking at where you want that ball to land. Oh yeah. How you want it to spin there.  For us, if we could be outwardly focused, it's great.  I kind of went into a couple years where I got into some bad habits. So I almost try to go back, look back at what I did well, why I did it well, and then improve on that. All right. You know, where was I kind of making mistakes there? How, how can I think about it to where over the next 15, 20 years, I can just do minor adjustments staying outwardly focused, kind of practicing like I'm playing versus focusing on mechanics, but still, you know, still trying to dial those in as best you can. So yeah, I mean, it's, it's interesting to hear you say like, hold on to it just a little bit longer. It kind of gets you said a little better or whatever it's it. It is similar, right? Because both of them can be kind of mechanical, but also mental things to do just as any kicker. But it's, it's kind of that kind of teeter-totter game you play with mechanics to try and really mostly just stay focused on visualizing that shot or that punt where you want it to land. And then the good news for us is if we don't hit a good one, we don't have to worry about having to go hit somebody afterwards. That was something you had to worry about if it was returnable. Yeah. I mean, you guys got a much different world to have to deal with. If you don't hit one well, you got to go deal with old Mr. Tree or some water or anything like that that you have in your world.  You were the youngest champion, I think at a multitude of places. You had massive success. You were going to be like the guy. Now you're back here. Number two FedEx standings going into playoff weekend. Got the Ryder Cup come. How does it feel to be back at like your best game? And was there moments where you hated golf? Was there ever a moment where you hated golf? And you were like, why is this happening? Why? Why? I am a great golfer. We all know I'm a great golfer.  Was there ever those moments? And how does it feel to be, you know, on the other side of that? That's not an easy battle. Congrats on getting through it. Yeah, I think, I think it was kind of word for word how you just said it sometimes. There were definitely times where I was like, what is happening right now? But then you got to get to the bottom of what exactly it was. And I feel good. Yeah, I feel really good right now. I feel in a good place. I feel like I'm improving. But the fun part about it is I actually feel like I'm not, I'm probably like, you know, 50 to 75% back to where I want to be. So I actually feel like there's a lot of upside to get to the freedom and comfort level through my swing, my stroke. I've had, you know, some, some, I've had a good year this year, but it was one where I look back and I'm like, man, I really should have won three, four, five times in the positions I was in. So how do I make that to where that's the case next year? How do we tighten things up a bit more? So I'm actually in that I'm not in the man, I'm really content phase. I feel good, but I feel like there's quite a bit of room for improvement, which I think is probably the best place to feel, you know? Yeah. You were fiery on the course. I think that's why I loved you so much because all the golfers for so long. And I think Tiger changed it a little bit, but I like when you have an obvious competitive athlete out there, like somebody who wants to win. Like I understand top 10 is great, top five. But whenever you get mad and pissed off about like, I love it. I absolutely love it. Cause that's my exact reactions.  But if I don't do my job well, after all the work that I put in, I'm pissed. Like I am actually furious. Like, Hey, come on on myself there. Have you had to learn to be nicer to yourself in rounds?  Or is it just kind of you evolving as a human? I think I'm kind of lucky in that regard where actually sometimes the more pissed off I get, I actually bounce back a little bit quicker. Yeah. Cause you don't want to feel that way again. That's how I am. Like, I'm going to get mad.  And then Michael will be like, dude, you got to let it go. I'm like, dude, I promise it's not going into this next shot. I'm just pissed off that I left that stroke out there.  So some guys are like that. Some guys, it's better to just throw it all out. But I kind of like the, it's just always been good for me. The only problem is, you know, now that there's a microphone next to you everywhere you are, we get fine easily if we really say what we want to say. So we got to kind of dial it back a little bit as much as you probably would rather hear the, you know, the unedited version. It gets pretty bad after an entire season of saying what you want to say. Hey, Jordan, grab one of those, you know, whatever the, what are those things called?   Dude, that is, because you guys, it is very intimate with the game, the way the game is covered. I mean, we're starting, and I think they're putting more mics in there, which is good because as a fan getting to learn about how and why you and Michael are having a conversation, you're having, oh, it's this far. It's that far. Oh, we're hitting it this well. That relationship has been awesome for us to watch. And I think the mics are a massive part of that. So it's good for golf, obviously, terrible for your pocket book if you have any sense of competitive edge at all. But we appreciate it. You and your caddy, I just, I alluded to it earlier there. And I didn't know if it was right or not, because it is, we're recording this on Monday, it's an early morning, just got out of a bachelor party weekend with my brother, but he was your math teacher. He was your teacher. He was your math teacher. Is that how that whole play was in mind? He just taught, he taught sixth grade math up in Seattle. And I met him through Justin Thomas, a friend of mine. And he just jumped on board because I didn't have any status. I told him I'd pay his teacher's salary and his expenses the first year if he wanted to quit teaching. And he came on the bag. So now I wish I still paid his teacher's salary. See, now the relationship with the caddy has been something that has obviously come into conversation here late. But is that something that happens not only on the course, is he at practice with you as well? He has to kind of know everything you're doing, doesn't he? Or is it? I think, you know, it changes. Some guys use their caddy for swing stuff. They get involved with their coaches and all that. Michael's not that way. He's more, he's more of a situational guy. He reads, reads kind of, he's really calm under pressure. You know, he's not someone where I'm like, Hey man, you know, where's that position on that swing look on the range?  So he's home with his family. And then we get in and he's just really good at putting that time in, getting all the, you know, the pin locations where you can and can't miss stuff that, you know, I try and get down during practice rounds, but, you know, we're trying to, we're trying to get our game going. And he's, he's got all that other information. Jordan, can you do this?  Not in my back swing. What are you talking? I mean, that's so rude. Well, I was about to, you didn't get to see it. I'll do it next time. Go ahead, Ty. Jordan, with it being a rider cup here, obviously, you have to like stay dialed in with the playoffs coming up and everything. But is that something that you're kind of thinking about in like the back of your head? Cause obviously, like we've watched it the last couple of years. Yeah, there's nothing better. USA. That's huge. The, uh, to be honest, you know, I've got the three playoff events. We got a couple of weeks off in the rider cup. I'd rather play better at the rider cup than in the tour championship. It's the best man. I mean, we never get team sports. So to be able to have team sports and then the idea that you could have that, you know, when you win a championship and team sports, you get your parade, right? Well, for us, that's the Sunday afternoon after winning a rider cup on US soil where everyone sticks around and you get to, you get to kind of party with everybody. That's, that's our parade. That's, that's what we look forward to. And it's, it's going to be, it's going to be hard, but our teams, our team this year looks stacked. Um, we've, we've, we looked that way in the last one in Paris and we didn't win.  Yeah. Hey, all the way, all by a good early off and fire. I mean, it's, there's no, there's no breaks coming up in these next six weeks. We look at the rider cup as a major championship in our mind and, and try and peak for it. You got it. Go ahead. Jordan. I mean, I think personally a good friend of yours, Uncle Phil Mickelson, should potentially be a captain's pick for that rider cup. He's got a bunch of experience. Uh, you could take his money during the practice rounds. And what do you think about, you know, Phil maybe being a captain's pick for that? Well, you know, he won the PGA championship. The PGA of America runs the rider cup. It's, um, he obviously, uh, he won one of the four biggest tournaments of the year. So I think it's going to be, I'm glad I don't have to make these decisions because of how stacked the team is. He's a little bit further down on the list. I know that, but, uh, I'm not jealous of Steve Stricker and the assistants. I know they'll lean on us quite a bit. Um, but I mean, I'm going to have to make that team myself prior to, to being able to have much impact in that. But you're saying that, Phil's a man. Hey, I still got to get on the team. So let's start handing out spots anywhere else. Last question here from the boys. Can't thank you enough for joining us. Jordan, go ahead. Connor. Yeah, Jordan. One of the things that around golf right now that I love and I think everyone does is the match. Have you reached out yet to Steph Curry to play, maybe the next one, get, uh, Bryson and Rogers try and go for their crown or no? I, we haven't yet, but I'm certainly open to it. Uh, that last one looked amazing. Where was a big sky, Montana?  They never come out of the sky. Um, yeah, I'm not sure.  If I didn't, you know, that might even be more fun than playing in it. Um, but I guess Pat would probably be better at doing that. They won't have me there, Jordan. That is. I would be excited to see you out there though. Uh, when you see that, is there any courses that like, have you played that course? I just assume you're, I went there in the summertime with my dad and brother. We actually went fly fishing up there, but I never, I didn't play any golf. Um, but we, we went on a little fishing trip like a few years ago, but it, yeah, it looked amazing. What are you, just super outdoors guy? You fly fish? No, I, this, I hadn't gone on a fishing trip before or since, but uh, a big Texas guy. I was in that area. Oh, that's awesome. I thought you were going to be the fly fishing golfer and I said, it was like, yeah, I just heard it was fun. Turns out, a lot of similarities. Yeah, a lot of similarities in the motion. No, I have no idea. I got, I spent more time untangling my line than I did catching. That's what I was saying. Yeah.  Uh, can't that do it? How to be here and watch them sit in the water. Yeah. Watch them. Thanks for joining us. Congrats on the fan duel deal. Excited. You're representing the number one sports book in America.


We ended our last session speaking of the need to understand a little bit about sociology and anthropology. It is from these domains that ethnography derives its methods as well as its fundamental concepts. In this session, we will look a little bit into the historical aspect of ethnography and these disciplines. The term ethnography and its articulation as a research method did not come about until the 18th century. However, the process of writing about people or cultures has had a long history. We have accounts of travellers like Yunsang, Marco Polo, Albaruni, Ibn Battuta who may be called the pre-ethnographers or proto-ethnographers. Through their travels, they absorbed knowledge about different peoples, cultures and lands. They wrote down and spoke about much of what they had observed and learned. These records were a way to chronicle the worlds and peoples they knew nothing about. Let us pause the video here and reflect for a moment. What do you think drove the pre-ethnographers to travel across continents to unfamiliar places and cultures? Some of you may have said that it was the desire to learn about people and ways of being that were different from their own. Some of you may have answered that they were simply curious about other civilizations. They wanted to experience the adventures of travel and then share them with their people or rulers back home. Some others may have guessed that they could have been looking for trade opportunities. To some degree, each of these factors probably inspired and motivated the proto-ethnographers. And it was a similar set of factors that came into play in the 1700s. In this period, another set of traders, scholars, missionaries and travelers, most of them Europeans wrote about the various peoples, lands and cultures they encountered. It was around this time that the term ethnography was coined. The choice of the term ethnos, which at the same time also denoted race, was not coincidental. This was a period when European nations were trying to explore unmapped parts of the world, such as the Arctic coast of Siberia or the Far East. And some of these expeditions had among them scholars and academics. These people were a part of the expedition so that they could gather knowledge about the new found lands, their geography and the people who lived there. These expeditions, however, were not simply for gaining knowledge. This was a period of great competition among European mega corporations such as the Dutch East India Company, the British East India Company and others. Much of them were rivals competing to establish monopolies on trade with Asia, North America and the Middle East. And many of these rivalries translated into colonization. This geopolitics was one of the factors that influenced the kind of ethnographic research that was commanded. Those who commissioned such research felt the need to not only discover but to grasp the unfamiliar world they were encountering. To own it somehow. Some of them did so by writing it in their own words through their own ways of seeing. In fact, often they wrote about these new words and the people who occupied them in the same ways as they wrote about flora and fauna. This kind of scientific knowledge was often used by imperialist nations to justify colonization and subjugation of local populations. But sometimes to suggest that European colonization was good for the natives. They even believed that the presence of white colonizers would help the local cultures to move ahead towards civilization, development and modernity. Our practice of ethnography bears some traces of these ideas and methods. That may be our legacy, but fortunately the discipline has evolved a lot since its early days. Early ethnographers are conscious of the problematic history of the discipline and so they work actively towards the form of research which is more respectful and empathetic towards participants. In its long history, ethnography owes much to two major moments. The first of these is called the Chicago School because that is where it started. And the second is called British Social Anthropology. Both of these emerged in the late 1800s. The focus on description that is a key feature of our practice was propagated by the Chicago School. And the focus on theory is credited to the British Social Anthropologists. It is this dual focus that pushes us to construct detailed and nuanced descriptions that lead to an analytical understanding of our participants culture. Since the 1970s, there have been further upheavals in ethnographic ways of seeing. And many of these ideas pose a direct challenge to those of ethnography's colonial originators. These include ideas such as post-colonialism and feminism. These approaches insist that we use ethnography to tell the narratives of people less heard in society. For those of you who are interested in learning more about the history of ethnography, we have some reading material that you can refer to. And following that, there is a quiz to help you revise and reflect on what you have learnt. Let us pause here and reflect on the question that appears on the screen. Is contemporary ethnography about far away exotic cultures, familiar contexts or both A and B? Some of you may have selected option A. Others may have gone for option B. The correct answer is C. And ethnographic research may be about any culture or community both familiar and unfamiliar. In fact, today ethnographies are not so much about far away exotic cultures as they are about familiar contexts like the home, the family, the workplace. And often the focus is on understanding perspectives that have so far been marginalized. This includes the narratives of women, working class people, ethnic minorities, oppressed caste persons and so on. So we see that one of the central premises of ethnography is this idea of understanding the other and their notion of reality. On the face of it, both terms seem simple enough. But how do we define the other? How do we understand reality and what it means to different people? In our next section, we will look more closely at these terms and what they could mean.


Alright boys, we're back in some brutal conditions. Broke ice all the way out here, the dog is a stand. I feel bad for him honestly right now. We probably got a what do you call it, 15, 20 right now? Out of the west, northwest, more out of the west. Really, the conditions are perfect for it. It's kind of in our face. It was blown over our left shoulder when we got here and it seems like it's kind of switching. We got some mojos, pulsators, and like a dozen nods. We don't have a lot right now because as you can see the ice is pretty gnarly out here. So me, Talon, Thomas, we got Rocky, and then Caleb behind the camera, we're gonna get him some shots too. Pentals and some mallards already working so we're just trying to hurry and get set up and we've only got a couple hours to go. So let's go. Let's see, Father. He's like name and stuff I came in. Just took a little corrective action. You do what you gotta do. I mean, the thing is that when completely switched, it's even worse for us so it's too late to move. So we just kind of make the best of it. I don't know. I think we might get a little surge right at the last 30 minutes, but yeah, just like it. We're gonna get you guys some good footage today and as you know, as always, hit the like button and don't forget to subscribe. That one right there, I shot that one right there. Is there? I'm ready. I'm ready. Well, you'll have to do this. I mean, tell me that.  Some of it. Dude, it's hard getting birds. Yeah, it is. I think it's a fog even makes it harder. Should have just brought my camcorder. What's the update? Hi, I got my first grader's cop and I got my first surf scotter pretty good. So everybody's got a quarter or two apiece. So have a good time. It's a blast. Kind of funny, dude. My hands are all cold. You put your hands in the water. It's actually warm, huh? First scotter, baby. Or Jake, I should say. A skirt. A skirt. Nice, dude. Awesome. Trying to get Marty to school. Drake can't. Drake can't. It's a tall order on the guide. I don't want much. Yeah. This is awesome. This fog will not lift. Your channel looks like 70 degrees. Look what I'm wearing. I'm wearing a wig. Look, I am so blue. I don't think they like that spinner. Come here, buddy. Come here. I think I got the hen. I was aiming for the Drake, and I think I shot behind it and hit the hen. Good boy. Good boy. I was thinking that when I was shooting too. I was like, I'm going to miss and hit her. I will. Where's the Drake's? That was 15 yards.  Double trouble. Good boy. Here. Here. That was a big group. I think I got both Drake's here. Oh, here. Leave. There's one. Let's go get that other one. Get a bird. Back. Good boy. He's dead. That heavy metal. I shot him in the rear twice. That's why I put another one in him, because I knew I hit him once. Or the bismuth inside that.  That's the thing, even if you don't make a clean shot, that step will kind of clean up your junk. Whereas in my opinion, if it was still, he would have kept going, I think. Good boy. Two Drake's in the hand. I'll take that. Come on, buddy. Good boy. Good boy, you want to carry it back there? You want me to carry it? I'll let you carry it. Did I? When I got it, I'll carry it. Hit 12 on the right side, a couple of wedging in the back, shutters, and fruits on the left, and then a swimmer pulsated right in the middle. They didn't really do it, though, but they weren't that far, so I'll take it. Double on wedging Drake. That's a big hold. Hold, good boy. Nice head on it. Good little sprig, too. Double, double on wedging. Stoked. That's a nice one, too. I think your dad made a bad call. Should have shot those pendels when he gave. The wind completely stopped. Went to zero. Bird stopped flying, and then it switched to the southeast at, like, 10. Man, me, huh? Of course my GoPro dies. Literally just died as that group was coming right at me. Good boy. Nice drake, wedging. Good boy. Good boy. That's done, though. E-helicopter all the way down. Hold, leap, except for shaking them again. Stone dead. Nice bird. Really nice turtle feathers.   Little ways after the point, I think they're seeing Rocky sit here up on top, and never liked having the dog up on top of him.  Come on, Bubba. Good dog. I have two birds in the last five minutes. I guess you can say it was worse than. Good boy. Drake shoveler. Here, over here. Come here. That's a stud, too. Some of you shoveler lovers can appreciate that here, but here, hold, hold, leap. If you would have had a band, that'd really be cool. Yeah, that's a nice bird. It's about as pretty as they get this one here. Two in five minutes, that Drake shoveler and that other Drake whigeon. Those are really nice birds. Really nice white caps on all three of these, actually. Really not a lot of flaking left in that one, maybe, but these two are pretty solid.  He's fully plowed to the max. He did good today. Today is the first day, I would say, down. He would lay down. Beautiful, beautiful California sunset. And I hope you guys enjoyed it. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Today, he ties his stuffy honey.  And it's the king of ducks. I've shot that. You have? Yeah. I have a picture of it, even. I tried to cook it and I ruined it. Oh, yeah. Oh, nice shot, Travis. That's spoony. Rocky. Oh, she kind of had Rocky now. I wanted to bring it, but I didn't want to sleep in the truck all night.  I haven't shot one in so long. You lied to me. You lied to me, Stephen. Travis, it's only their sentence. That's right. I'm glad they're greenlings. That don't mind. Can't be that lucky to scotch double on Drake's sentence. You guys are wondering where Rocky is. I had to come straight from work, so he couldn't stay. I didn't want to leave him overnight at work. But yeah, I wish I had him right now. Scotch double. That's a pain to go get your own duck. Oh, wait, Travis. Travis, that's right. Nice shot. Nice. Nice shot. Crushed him. And that one. Nice shot. What are you using in the gun? This is one of her. She won a kill. It's as well when I face that. Did you bring extras? Travis, words of wisdom. Don't hurt that December. Taylor got the hen ring neck earlier. Travis got the hen shoulder. Taylor got a Drake greenling. What was the name of the hen, was it Drake? I actually had a red ring neck ring. They had two red feathers in the back of it. Travis's first love. Now he's trying to get intoxicated on heritos. A lot of people are probably not going to be like, what is that? It's fine. It's the best. I'm trying to get this pure sugar. Oh yeah, in this scene? No. This is medicine. Here, let's look at this here. Sugars, one serving. How many calories? Total sugar is 130 grams. Oh yeah, there's only 77 in this one. Holy smoke. There's only 35 grams of sugar in this. You could drink four of those, Talon is still big about like that. So everybody that doesn't know what a taco truck is, that is what it is right there. Sorry I didn't show you the food. There's somebody recognizable. Hey. Two of them right there. Taco truck, AKA Roach Coach. Here's your new hood ornament. My hood ornament? Oh, to put on the front of my head? Looks good, dude. Trouse, beware of phone calls and messages for your work. Looks good, dude. I wish that was on going to my wall. This is that. My dad's. Oh, it's your dad? Yeah. Good. That's Trouse's handiwork, folks. I'm about a handiwork, but it is what it is. A little more samplers. Yeah, that was the one he shot. We have a video of that one from last year. I'm going to do a dead mat with cinnamon, a couple of blue wings, maybe a shovel laying on the shovel. Doesn't get all over the place. It doesn't belong in your face. Deja vu, baby. We are back up. Different clan. Next morning, me, Travis Thomas, going out going to make an afternoon hunt happen. It flies, it dies. And spoonies, and buffies. I don't know if I'm all over my centers. Travis got the hand shoveler. I've heard that before. Yeah, I've heard that. I've heard that several times. And you know what the first bird he shot? It comes in, splared up right around. Boom. Hand spoonie. I thought it was a drake. He was dark. He goes, I think that was a drake as old Trouse. That was a spoonie. Hand. Dead bird. I know, dude. I was looking at the shoveler, too. There was a shoveler headed this way pretty low. Thank you for that. Oh, nice. Sit, sit. It's helpful on a day for summer. Must be because it's just easy going. Come here. We liking that right now, huh? Come on. He knows not to splash you. Come on. Oh, he tried not to splash you. Yeah. Here. Leave. Good boy. There's one. Oh, sit, sit, sit. I'll put a full chair for you. Yeah. Man, he sees it like a freight train right now. My goodness. One BB hit it in the head, I think. OK, see this first little group? This shallow grass? The next one, just around the corner. Not this first clump, the second clump. Yeah. Man, that was a good hustle, boy. It went through the corn. Right there while he was going. Good boy, Rocky. He came over here about 60 yards. And he found it faster than I thought he was going to. I couldn't even get the camera out yet.  Come on. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. Here. I thought that thing was dead, and then he just all of a sudden lifted up. Hold. Leave. Good boy. Sit, sit. That was ridiculous. You know what? I bet you he ain't going to flirt no more than we would if he sits on that. Did I get that, or is someone else going to get that? Nice shot. Tallness is up four. I need a price when I make a bad shot. Sit. Rocky, I got this one, right? Did you shoot at this one? Yeah. Oh, you did? What do you, did you think you got it? Or did you or no? Did we do the same thing again? I never heard you shoot. I love how California tail goes straight up. They don't do that in their hold. Leave. Dead bird. Dead bird. Back. Oh, wrong way. No, no. Over. Travis, you got one. Dead bird. Back. It's blit. Yeah, uh-huh. Good boy. Good boy. Dude, that was impossible to shoot that one. Dude, there was no way I was going to hit that. I don't even know why I shot. I got one shell. Travis, help me out. Oh, never mind. Dead bird. Back. I'm done. That's a limit. Oh, you shot? Yeah. Yeah, he shot it.  I shot it.   I literally don't. You already did that twice. You can have this one. Sit. Sit, Rocky. Rocky. That was a perfect flush for me. Leave. Good boy. Good boy. Here begins. Oh, Drake. Travis. I didn't think you'd get him. I didn't. Boy, Rocky. Putting some hustle on today. Putting the clinic. What do you have to say for yourself? It was a little tall. Matt, you've never seen tall until you come with us at this refuge. That's when you'll know what tall means. I love watching him hustle that fast. Good boy. Putting on a clinic today's time. He's showing some of these people that you can still hustle when the water's shallow enough. Well, there's my limit, boys. Five green wings, Buffy, and a shibbler. I said, Rocky. Sit. Sit. From Travis to you, Matt. Weep. Good boy. What are you doing? You can talk to us. You broke my seat. You broke my seat. Uh-uh. Oh, you were on. That is my seat, though. Sorry, I'm just joking. It's been coming out. What would you get, enema? That's beard. Crack open something. Crack open my d-d-d-d. What's up we were using today? 3-4 shot. Those pads take the ball away. Got my dirt, dirt down here. Cheers, boys. Here's to you guys. Here's to you, mister. Mountain dew drinking man. You don't just sip the mountain dew. You guzzle it. I snapped a fishing rod right back there in that corner. Guys, that's a good sign that there's ducks near right now. That means nobody's come down the river yet.  So I just seen four wood ducks, two drakes, two hens. The problem was when I came around the corner, I was way too far away to shoot. If it was a sharp, tight corner, I could have shot them easy. They're not super spooked right now. And they didn't fly as soon as they seen me. So that means they haven't been getting much pressure down here. That or these are fresh birds. So that's a good thing because usually I don't see wood ducks here. Usually it's farther down the river. I never see wood ducks do that. I cannot believe they just flew right at me. Oh, that's going to be fun to get. It's deep right here, and that is a wall. And the low way back down, he fell ahead up here and he must have rolled back down. Still in the high water mark, boys. I love wood ducks. Some of them must be just, and beautiful, and also some of the best tasting. I have never, ever, I don't think, had a wood duck fly right at me like that. I feel like it's funny because I feel like I put a little lead on him and he was pretty close. So let's keep going. If I just get that one bird right there, I'm happy. And I was wondering if that was a bad idea. If I would have lucked this side, those keys would have never gone on there. But they didn't look spooked. So I'm gonna kinda luck this side and come around these right there. There's no way I can get one. No way. I gotta be kidding me. How? Talk on it. No way. I know I flock-shooted, I just shot into the group.  There's no way I shouldn't have knocked one down. I cannot. That literally about gave me a heart attack when I came around that corner. I knew there was a couple. I had no idea it was a whole family. And they weren't even scared at first. Literally not until I grabbed my gun.   Oh, I did get one. I knew there was no way I didn't get one. I picked one out and aimed. That was where I made my mistake. One goose, boys. This turned out to be awesome. Come around that corner. And my good grief. My heart literally pounded through my chest right there. I hope I got them. Because if I didn't, it'd be hard to get out of there. I wasn't expecting that. That was not what I was expecting. He dead. I think it was both Drake's. You gotta be kidding me. I did not plan on shooting the hearts. Yes. Dude. Two Drake's. Stinking scotch doubled on Mallard's. That was a big group. Oh dude, that gets me more pumped than anything. You gotta be kidding. Baby, yes. Oh son, that's what I'm talking about. Yes. That jacks me up right there son. That wakes me up. See, I hugged that side thinking there might be some wood ducks down there. I was sneaking a dozen Mallard's. I gotta get that little spree over in that. Baby, baby, baby. Sweat on. Okay, we got bigger problems to deal with here. Focus on it. Two fat green heads, baby. Just stacked around that corner. I'm not saying that there's not Mallard's down here, but very rarely you see him. And if you do too far away, they did not know I was coming. Oh yes. Surprises, I was, they were surprised.  I got four stinking birds. This is a day, baby. It's like flip right now. Yes, flip. Oh, dude. Yes, yes. Yes. And then check out the markings on this one. It's almost like he's getting old, like, look at this one. It's almost like, it's like it's getting the markings of a hen. There's nothing else weird about it, let me see. Yeah, everything else is the same. Oh my goodness. That pumped me up. Two Drake Mallards. Toss is gonna, he's gonna freak out. Toss is gonna freak out. I mean, we always talk about wood ducks. Nice bird.  The size difference. I mean, it's not an unbelievably difference, but it's a pretty good solid.   To be on the river, where you feel like you're in your own world and to shoot two Drake Mallards, a Drake wood duck and a honker. This calls for a celebration. She's just gonna have to give me a second because when you do that and have that successful hunt, gotta whip out the dude. Here's to a great hunt and good times, boys.


One of the bigger discussions going on today that is also a little bit worrisome is what's called the COVID long-haul symptoms. So people who have gotten COVID, often in many cases they've gotten mild cases, mild to moderate symptoms, but these other more severe symptoms have lingered for a long time, often even months or eight months later. So for a lot of people, they're getting COVID at a very mild expression with pretty minor and not that debilitating symptoms, but they last for a long time. I was reading this brief by Johns Hopkins and they were talking about some of these research efforts that are underway right now to try to address these symptoms and understand why they're happening and how they can treat them. But I thought I would share in this video the Chinese medicine perspective on a lot of what these symptoms are, as I do have experience treating them in my private practice. Hey, I'm Dr. Alex Hein, acupuncturist and Chinese medicine doctor, author of the health book, Master the Day. So let's talk about the most common COVID long-haul symptoms that are presenting when you look at the tens or hundreds of thousands of people who are still experiencing those symptoms. So let's pop on over. We'll take a look at what several medical schools have said, a few other research institutions, as well as the CDC and Mayo Clinic. So let's take a close look at some of the specific symptoms that are coming up in terms of the long-term effects of COVID. So what initially prompted this for me was looking a little bit at this Johns Hopkins, this brief here, but then there are a lot of stories circulating in the news right now. New York Times has an opinion and expose on it here, featuring case studies from people, talked about this woman named Fiona, who, after being discharged from the hospital, had GI problems, rashes, hives, and migraines. And then even more than that, fevers, headaches, memory lapses, and brain fog. So that was one of the anecdotes that was shared. But in terms of the research, there's a couple medical schools that have shared some of the most common symptoms that the research is pulling up from surveying thousands of these COVID long haulers. In this particular link, the Baylor College of Medicine, they mentioned shortness of breath, lingering cough, chest pain and palpitations, dizziness and lightheadedness, fatigue with even very little exercise. That's something I've seen clinically a lot in the COVID long haulers that I've treated, including shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, loss of taste and smell, insomnia, GI symptoms, depressed mood and anxiety. UC Davis mentioned some similar things, cough, fatigue, body aches, joint pain, shortness of breath, loss of taste and smell, even if this did not occur during the peak of the illness. Sleep problems, headaches, brain fog, the CDC themselves cite the main symptoms in COVID long haulers being fatigue, brain fog, headache, loss of taste or smell, dizziness, unstanding, heart palpitations, or tachycardia, heart racing, shortness of breath, cough, anxiety, fever, so that's pretty consistent. This Medscape internal medicine paper cited the four most common complaints specifically in Sweden and healthcare professionals, loss of taste and smell, dyspnea, shortness of breath, and fatigue were the top four. And then finally, the Mayo Clinic mentions some very similar patterns, but then what they also mentioned that's more worrisome is that some COVID long haulers are showing actual structural organ damage. So some have been shown that there's damage to the heart muscle. Some have shown that there is actual scar tissue in the lungs after and strokes and seizures rarely in even in young people potentially. So those are some of the main patterns we're seeing in terms of the sequela or the related long-term symptoms that's now being called COVID long haulers or long haul symptoms. All right. So there are a few important things that have to be said here. The first one is from the Chinese medicine perspective, you have to understand the nature of what coronavirus is, what the actual virus is presentation, the clinical presentation is. Because in Chinese medicine, we categorize diseases and illnesses and viruses, pathologies like that, the symptoms they present in varying different ways. When I spoke to the mentors that have a lot of experience seeing patients with coronavirus, as well as mentors that have lived in China or that are Chinese, and that have, for example, treated SARS or seen the presentation of SARS clinically, as well as other diseases throughout history and viral infections, they mostly said that this is called a damp epidemic toxin disease. So it follows the general progression of other pathogenic infections that have aspects of dampness in Chinese medicine. There's an epidemic nature, obviously, and there's some aspect of what we call warm. And I'll clarify what those are in just a sec. Now, why this is important as a preface before I go into some of these symptoms and where they come from, because a lot of these symptoms manifest in other diseases that I'm treating every day in my clinic. These other various presentations or these various other symptoms. So it's really about understanding three things. The first thing is that the clinical presentation is a manifestation of what we call damp and warm or toxin. And that's important because certain illnesses present with symptoms of what we consider damp, meaning they can affect the tissue or the joints, they can cause joint pain, they can be damp in terms of they produce a lot of phlegm or mucus in the lungs. And there are many other presentations regarding the GI as well. The second reason is that from our point of view, from the mentors I learned from, it's often these individuals who are the most susceptible. So people who constitutionally, meaning genetically, have certain presentations to certain illnesses or upper respiratory infections that are the most susceptible to this kind of infection. That's obviously something you would want to know if this is going around. And the final reason, the third, is that the residual COVID symptoms also for some people fit the initial presentation symptoms. And that's very, very key to keep in mind. So I've tried my best to cluster these symptoms into three clinical pictures. These three clinical pictures are symptoms that present in all different kinds of illnesses. They present different just constitutional types. For example, some kids are more flemy. They're always clearing the throat like this. They always have some mucus and saliva they're trying to cough up or they get post nasal drip or they're the combination of gut problems with asthma. So mucus membranes are very sensitive. So the first one, cluster of symptoms I put together is the cluster of shortness of breath, cough, palpitations, dizziness and vertigo. So this is a very, very, very common residual symptom picture that you tend to see that presents in many different ways that I see clinically probably almost every day in my private practice. Now from the Chinese medicine point of view, there are two main causes of this that I see. The first is what's considered a water pattern. So some aspects of room. So there's something going on where the mucus membranes are they're overproducing mucus and that can result in cough. That doesn't go seem to go away. It can be they're always clearing their throat. It can be sensitive GI. It's often in a lot of my patients that have anxiety, they're often have a strong correlation with GI problems like this as well. For example, I've seen several patients that have had long-term treatment for tuberculosis. And after the six months or so of antibiotics, they have residual issues with their lungs, shortness of breath, breathing, almost this identical presentation. And their Chinese formulas have been quite effective for treating those residual symptoms. Now on the other hand, you just generally see that the body has a hard time getting rid of residual congestion. So if you are somebody that day to day regularly has a flemy throat or you always have kind of a stuffy nose or you're always getting bloated, these are symptoms of congestion in Chinese medicine. So it's understandable that if you had COVID, you may have a susceptibility to some of these symptoms lingering as well. A lot of my patients that are very flemy and have problems with water retention, like it could be edema, could just be bloating, they're always just feeling full. A lot of them, for example, will present with these symptoms of shortness of breath, dizziness and even vertical palpitations due to digestive causes are very, very common in Chinese medicine. So one of the patterns is not only this room or water presentation, but sometimes mixed with heat. So that depends on the presentation. The second symptom cluster is again, something I see very frequently in my practice almost daily, minus anosmia, the lack of smell and taste. But this is the cluster that I've put together of fatigue, brain fog, loss of taste and smell, and headaches. So these all fall into one category in Chinese medicine primarily, which is tie-in, which are illnesses involving the lung and what we call the spleen. These are exceptionally common. This is like the key presentation in most of my patients with SIBO, small intestine bacterial overgrowth, or a lot of patients with IBS that come in have this exact same symptom picture. I had this symptom picture for years as someone who's always had a lifelong difficulty with digestion. So these are all dysfunction of the digestion and gut. So again, we already talked about that a lot of what COVID affects from a Chinese medicine perspective is the tie-in organs, the lung and the spleen, which is why patients have residual effects regarding phlegm, regarding brain fog and headaches and fatigue, even dizziness, cough, whether the cough is dry or wet, that's going to be a differential right there. But this is long-term dysfunction of the gut. Now for some of these people, I'm sure they were, quote, healthy people by modern medical standards, but maybe they had digestive problems or that was their weak point. Maybe it wasn't severe inflammatory bowel disease like ulcerative colitis, but they had poor digestion. So that system was not functioning very well. That was a chink in their armor. That susceptibility has now become effectively a chronic illness. Also, the interesting symptom of loss of taste and smell in Chinese medicine, you know, the only natural population I see this in is geriatric patients who are older. They begin to lose their sense of taste and smell. And Chinese medicine has a saying that one of the early warning signs of a poor prognosis is stomach cheat decreases. And one of the manifestations of that we see is that the loss of taste and smell. So loss of smell usually related to lung function in Chinese medicine. Loss of taste usually decrease in digestive function, what we call the spleen or the spleen pancreas. So those two organs are actually an organ pair in Chinese medicine. So formulas that treat one often treat the other, which is why you can treat both of them together at the same time. And in my experience, it's very effective for working on some of those symptoms that are residual in that way. And finally, one of the most residual patterns that we see in addition is GI symptoms, which should not be surprising, giving everything I just told you. We hear everything about the respiratory aspects because that's the scary, you know, the acute respiratory distress. But the GI is in Chinese medicine, most likely going to be the root of what is affected, which is then producing some of these other problems as well. So the gut and the lung are one shared organ system in Chinese medicine. So even acute infection, we would give a formula or herbs that would work on both. So that's this understanding of these shared mutual relationships, these organ systems, understanding how the physiology is all linked. So again, because I've just described that COVID from a Chinese medicine perspective, primarily affects the GI and the lung. It's not surprising that residual GI symptoms are so common. So that is a very long winded intro to some of these COVID long haul symptoms. The reason I shot this, even though I'm sure there's going to be some CDC banner and blah, blah, blah below this video is I've seen so many of these patients with severe debilitating symptoms that conventional care is maybe not so good and not so effective at treating. It doesn't understand. But in my experience in Chinese medicine, there is a deep understanding of why these are occurring. And again, they just present from other illnesses as well, just as chronic fatigue does related to SARS and other illnesses. But I wish that people knew that there were other options as well and to seek multiple opinions because they may be able to get the help they're really looking for that way. So I hope this helps you guys. Again, if you want to stay in touch, I have the link below this video for info. And if you'd like to become a patient of mine locally or via telemedicine, all the info below is on my clinic. And there's also a free guide beneath this video, which is for daily rituals that can possibly help you add years to your life with traditional Chinese medicine right below this video.

The speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a heart, a high old silver. A phantom figure of the plains rolled the trails of long ago to bring justice to the oppressed, where he came from no one ever knew. But his heroic deeds were recorded in the memories of the people of Seven States. Even today, the cowboys sit around the campfire and relate yarns of his daring, of his speed on the draw when he meted out punishment to the lawless, of his great horse, Silver, the fastest the West has ever known. History does not record as many adventures, but the West will always remember the shout, which has come down through the years. I owe silver! The lone ranger rides again. Come on! There's the great horse, Silver, down the trail toward Wells City, a typical rancher's community of the pioneer days. Ben Bush was the wealthiest man in town. He owned the banks, controlled vast sections of range land in the territory, received dividends from most of the other commercial enterprises. But for all his wealth and power, he was thoroughly disliked. He ruled Wells City and the surrounding districts with an iron hand, and it was suspected, though never proved, that he had built his position upon a disregard of honesty and justice. It was certain that the sheriff of the county, Pete Crowley, obeyed his commands without question, and the lawman's reputation had suffered in consequence. In the first scene of tonight's lone ranger drama, we see Ben Bush speaking with Crowley in the cafe. They are seated in one corner of the large room and are careful that they're not overheard by the rest of the crowd. I tell you, I've done all I could. I mean, my fault, them two was rescued. I don't like alibis. But there ain't a man alive who can do more than that, Don. You ain't done good enough, Crowley. That's the point. But I can't. Just remember, I'm the man put you in office. I ain't forgot that. I'm the man can get you out of office. I know, Mr. Bush, but what more can I do than what I'm doing? The job of sheriff means arresting crooks and guarding them, Donut. Sure, that's what I've done. That's what I've been doing all along. I ain't asked you to give evidence against them. I've done that myself. They've gone to trial and been found guilty. Guilty, yeah? But twice, when they was all set to get hung, they was rescued by some masked man on a white horse. But he rides like lightning. The way he handles them two guns a year, he's a man who hasn't a chance to... I don't like alibis. I told you that before, Crowley. I ain't alibiing, Mr. Bush. As well as I do, that white horse is a devil and four legs. The rider ain't. He had us all covered within six guns a year before we could say Jack Robinson. Then you should get some deputies that's quicker on the draw. I tell you, Crowley, I don't like the way things are going here. Who is that masked man, anyhow? I don't know. Like us not, he's an outlaw. Sure, a wearing a mask like he does, he must be. Then why don't you arrest him? Get him tried and hung. But you can't find him. I'm heading me and the old hunting. It's the truth. I've had parties out ever since Lemon Frisbee was saved from the hangman's rope. Ain't even found tracks, have you? No. Still got men out. Rock. First thing you know, my enemies will get teamed up against me. Then now, they all through in this town. I know. Maybe that's what's your figure in all. No, Mr. Bush. You know there's ain't the case. I don't trust anyone, Crowley. Maybe that's why I got where I am. Well, you can trust me. But I didn't want to ask me to ever since I got in office. Yeah, let two of my enemies escape. Like us not, the one that's in jail now will be rescued by that masked man before his home. You won't. You can bet on that. We've got guards at the jail night and day. I reckon we better go down there and make sure he's still locked up. Shucks, you'll be there. Neither the others was took till he was ready to hang. Larson ain't even come up for trial yet. We're gonna take a look anyhow. Come on. Well, no wonder. Ain't no use. If you take my word, Bert, you're still there. I'm beginning to think your word don't amount to much. Well, we should put more trust in me, Mr. Bush. Just a couple more escapes in this town and you're going to be out in office, Crowley. Mind what I tell you. Well, come on. Let's go to the jail. Hi, Bert. Come on. Sit down. Have a drink. Oh, no. The sights, you know, he's that masked man is. What he's doing around here? He must be an enemy of yours, Mr. Bush. My enemies hang. You know that. Except when you get careless. I think we can leave the horses here at the hitch rack. Hang far down to the jail. Hey, you know, Mr. Bush, I've been thinking. Well? You're sort of dissatisfied with the way I've been doing my job. Why shouldn't I be? Two men I figured to get rid of by this time are out free somewhere. Well, you ain't the only one that ain't satisfied with things as they stand. Oh, what do you mean? I've been thinking I ought to get more money. More money? Yep. If you had an honest sheriff in here, you wouldn't stand a chance of getting away with the things you've been doing. Yeah? Well, get this, Crowley. Any time you get tired working for me, or any time I get tired of the way you do your job, there's a jail cell waiting to hold you. You mean? I mean I got evidence to put you in jail. Same as I got it against my other enemies. Hey, look over by the jail. Oh, I thought. If that's the same man. Hurry up, boss. This way. Use your gun. Drop him. Get the two of them. They're getting to the saddle. I never figured he'd try and get Larson away before his trial. Three of my enemies are loose and all say by the same man. Crowley, I'm beginning to think you're scheming things again, man. In spite of the efforts of Bush and Crowley, the Lone Ranger had affected the rescue of each of the three men framed by the pair. After his last exploits, the masked man returned to his camp with Steve Larson, the third of the rescue prisoners. Hold this a little bit. Hold this a little bit. Son, this is Steve Larson. I just helped him to escape from jail. Oh, that. Good. I don't carry this at all. Who are you? I hope to be your friend, Larson. Why'd you bust me out of the jail? Well, you wouldn't be tried and hung for murder. Well, they didn't have no evidence against me. They didn't have evidence against the other two men, but both of them were ready to hang. You're the man that rescued them?  Where are they now? They're safe for the time being. Just what are you up to, mister? What's the mask for? I brought you here to ask questions of you, not to answer yours. I suppose I should be dull-gone grateful to you, but I ain't. I'm not asking for your gratitude. If I got tried and freed, I'd been all right. But as it stands now, I'm an outlaw. Yes. My wife is there in town. So is my kid. I can't ever go back to see them. My busting out of the jail is the same as confessing my guilt. You were accused of murder. Yeah, but I could approve my innocence. How? The night Sam Turner was killed, I was at home with Mary and little Jerry. That wouldn't clear you, Larson. Remember, Ben Bush is against you. That's even cold cat. Someday he's gonna get all its commanding. That's what I'm working for. You know about him? Not all that I want to know. You tell me about him. He's got so much money, he does whatever he's done pleases. I've been told that. You had money in his bank, didn't you? All my savings, about $3,000. That's just the point. Brisbane Slade had their money in his bank. That's why they were framed for murder. See, do you mean to say they weren't guilty of murders? No. But the evidence why? Four men seen them do the shooting. Those four men were paid to tell the jury that story. By Bush? Yes. What's his game? Larson, Bush takes the money people put in his bank. Steals it? Yes. Then before the money can be claimed, he arranges for the owner to get into trouble. And Sheriff Crowley works hand in glove with him. See, do you mean to tell me I'd have faced what Frisbee and Slade did? Yes. That there'd have been men on the stand that swear they'd seen me shoot a man? That's just what would have happened. Why? You told Bush his schemer and a pulled cat. What do you know about him? I know he never gives a man a chance to pay up a mortgage if he has a little late on it. Yes. He swindles and cheats wherever he can. I always thought he stuck to the letter of the law. No, he doesn't even do that. What am I to do now? I want you to help me. How? I'm going to ask you the same question I asked Slade and Frisbee. Yeah? Will you stake your freedom on a chance that you might hang rather than spend the rest of your life as an outlaw? I don't serve him. As you stand right now, you're safely away from the jail. You can leave my camp and go where you want to. But you'll always be hunted by the law for a crime you didn't do. I'll serve you that. If you'll help me and risk being captured, there's a chance to put Ben Bush and Sheriff Crowley where they belong. And then you can return to town a free man. Life wouldn't mean much to me away from my wife and kid. Then I can count on you? Yes. I suppose Frisbee and Slade decided different, being as they ain't around here. But I'll go in with you. They've made the same choice. Yeah? Larson and the four of us are working together? There are five of us. Counting my friend Tonto. Oh, yeah. Larson, from now on, don't ask questions. Just do what you're told and count on us. I never thought I'd trust a man that wore a mask stranger. But there's something about your style that makes me like you and trust you. I'm taking your orders from now on. The Lone Ranger had a definite purpose in mind when he freed the three men Crowley had in prison. In the meantime, the sheriff and his posse scoured the country in search of the masked man and his companion. But without success, the hunt continued for several days. Bush became incensed over the delay. At length, the banker approached Crowley in the cafe and spoke heatedly. I could really make her clean up if I could count on you at all. But I can't. Yes, of course. I'm doing all a man kindoo. Pound to one of the four men. Three. Four, including the masked man to save the others, or ain't you bothering to hunt him? Yeah, sure we are. A stranger dripped it into town today and opened a big account to the bank. Yeah? If only I could count on you. The next one won't get away from me. I promise you that. There won't be a next one for some time. It takes a while for me to line things up. Take care. Take care. Come fast. It's been a shootin' down the road a piece. A shootin'? Come on. Come on. There's a shootin'. Come on, quick. Maybe you can get the ombre. Did you see anything the man had done the shootin'? Well, there's a man still there. He's examined the red skinny shot. He's a stranger in town. Not in Markhine. I reckon that's what he calls himself. Come on, Sheriff. Here's a chance to do something. Turn him on my way. What do you want, Sheriff? Never mind. I'll see you later. You won't need your horse. You've got a few rocks away. Listen to me. Sheriff, listen to me. Don't run so fast. I can't keep up. Well, I gotta get there. It's a murder. If that man's name is Markhine, one put a lot of money in the bank, see? What about it? Here's your chance to make good on one thing for me. What is it? See that Markhine gets arrested and hung. You get arrested and hung, all right? He's guilty. Never mind whether he's guilty or not. Make him guilty. You mean? I mean we can frame him same as we did their mothers. What more? We got a real murder to start with. You coming, Sheriff? Can't you come no faster than that? I am with you. You're still there. Stop. Make this scene as the engine's got the cash on him. Hey, you! Don't make a move. You're under arrest. I'm not going to run away. You're covered. Markhine, it's you. No, it's me. Oh, you're Mr. Bush, ain't you? I am, and this is Sheriff Crowley. Sheriff, I don't know who done this shooting. What do you mean you don't know who done it? You done it. You're wrong there, Mr. Bush. I didn't have no part in it. Don't give us no less. You're guilty. Who else had shoot an engine? We ain't sure about it, Sheriff. We just heard the shot and ran out. I did the same thing. I heard the shooting, ran over, and the engine was there on the ground. I told the zombie to sort of stand around and watch, and I'd go fetch it, Sheriff. He's the one killed the engine, all right. Take his gun. Hold on, Sheriff.  No, I ain't. It's my duty to warn you anything you say can be used again. I'll search him, Sheriff. That ain't exactly right, Mr. Bush. I'm the one... I said I'd search him. All right, son. All right. Just what's the meaning of all this, Sheriff? What right's Bush to search me? He ain't a lawman, is he? Many are talked now. You don't seem to have much money on you. You know Blame well where all my money is, Bush. I put it in your bank today. You did? Blame well I did. I don't know nothing of the sort. Hold on there. That's my receipt for the money, you got. There's ain't nothing but a scrap of paper. You must be local, Mr. Markham. Local? That's what I said. I don't recollect you putting any money in my bank.  What sort of game is this? Take him to jail, Sheriff. He's the murderer, all right. You can't do this. Come on, Markham. That banker's saying I ain't no money in his bank. I'm innocent. You can't call me guilty. I'm as innocent as you are, Sheriff. You can't take me to jail. You ain't only going to jail, you're going to the Hangman's Noose. We got evidence enough to send you there. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger drama. Before the next exciting scene, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. You will recall that in the first act of tonight's Lone Ranger drama, the banker and the sheriff of Wells City framed three men for murder, only to have them taken from jail by the masked man. The accused men were large depositors in the bank owned by Bush who intended to steal their funds. The Lone Ranger, however, had freed the convicted men as part of a plan to bring Bush and Crowley to justice. Then a fourth man entered the story. His name was Markham, and he was discovered standing over in India and he was accused of killing. That same afternoon, Markham had placed a large sum of money in the bank. Bush saw another opportunity to frame an important depositor. Hold on now, Sheriff. Didn't you listen to me for just a minute or so? No. Talk fair, son. What is it?  We'll do the looking later. You don't take chances with murderers like you. Then make that banker give me back the paper he took from me. That wasn't nothing but a scrap of paper. I told it away. It's a receipt for the cash I banked in your place today, Bush. I suppose now you claim I ain't no money there and keep it for yourself. Take an inch, Sheriff. Yep. Come on, Markham. What's the risk, kid? I'll go back and see if he's dead for sure. No, you won't. What the? The mask man again. You'll all stand right where you are. Crowley, if he gets this prisoner away from you, I'll have you rid out in town on a rail. I'm not after your prisoner. I'm here to take the Indian away with me. See here, you. You're under arrest. Big talk from a man who doesn't dare reach for his gun. Shoot him, Crowley.  Draw and shoot. Now try it. I'm still holding one gun on you. Now's your chance. While he's trying to heist the red skin on his horse.  Oh, jeez. He's going to slide him with a gun, Mr. Bush. I don't feel the way. Now. Now's your chance. Shoot. Shoot him. Now try it. Get him, Crowley. Wait. Now try it again. He's still riding. That ain't no use, Bush. He's out of sight in the dark. That horse he's riding's grease lightning. What did he want? A dead engine, sir. Don't ask me. Well, see that you don't let the prisoner get away blasted all, Crowley. Don't let him get away. The lone ranger made no attempt to rescue the sheriff's latest prisoner. Instead, he and Tonto rode swiftly to their camp. There they were met by the three fugitives who had agreed to assist in carrying out his plan. Here we are, Tonto. How did it come out? What happened, mister? What did you do? Everything worked out just as we hoped. They didn't even examine Tonto to see if he'd been shot or not. Can you beat that? It's just like I said. The sheriff's a crook and so is Bush. Not only that. They made sure to get the bank deposit slip away from Markheim. Bush done that, didn't they? Yes. And the sheriff permitted it. That means Markheim will be slayed at the hang. And he won't have a chance of getting away. Not unless the masked man gets him away like he done us. We're going to let Markheim go on trial. And when that trial comes up, the sheriff and Ben Bush will have a surprise. The old ranger had proved the dishonesty of the sheriff and the banker beyond all possibility of doubt. In the meantime, Markheim was put on trial. A jury was hastily summoned and the evidence of a series of lying witnesses presented to the court. Then Markheim drawed his gun and fired. The red skin dropped dead. That's all I got to say, Judge. That man lies, Judge. You're out of order, Markheim. Be quiet. But my gun wasn't even fired. The sheriff can tell you that. How about that, Sheriff? Might have been fired and might not have been. I dumped the cartridges out without looking to see. You railroaded me to the hangman's rope. That's what you're doing? One after another, the witnesses swore to the same story. Markheim, they said, had killed the Indian. But outside the courthouse, a group of men led by the lone ranger watched the progress of the trial with keen interest. We hear the masked man as he addresses one of his companions. Where's Ben? Yeah? Are those witnesses the same ones who testified against you? Yes, they are. They had plenty to say against me, too. The same men?  They're all being paid. They're at my bandwush. Just wait. I'd like to get in there and have my say. Not yet. Look, the jury's going out now. Markheim hasn't had his full say yet. Wait until the jury comes in. That's strange. What's Markheim going to do? Wait. And watch. Ten to one hangs. Shucks. I wouldn't have one to a thousand he don't. He didn't get a square trial. Not even a man to speak for him. Ain't no one gets a square trial in this town. Sheriff himself is the biggest crook of all. Don't let yourself get here saying that. There's a jury coming back. That jury is a hanging one. Let's have it quiet here. Order in the park. Sheriff Cowley, you're acting as clerk. Go on and tend to business. Hints of the jury? Have you reached a verdict? Yes. Well, why don't you stand up and tell it to the judge. And we find the prisoner guilty of murder. What? It better stand up and face me so as I can sentence you. First of all, before you sentence me judge, I've got something to say. Well, make it short. In the first place, I'm charged a murdering a man that's not even proved to be dead. In the second place, not one of those witnesses saw the shooting. In the third place, my gun was not fired. And in the fourth place, before I'm through, you're all going to be sorry you had so much to say. What's the meaning of such talk? You're found guilty. And I'm not. Judge, there's plenty of crooks in this town. Maybe you're one of them, maybe you ain't. We'll find that out before another 10 minutes goes by. What? Right now, friends of mine are coming into this courtroom. Keep everyone clever, boys. Don't know what to make a move. The man's man is T. Blasch and one of the escaped prisoners. Order! Order in this court! You're under arrest! No one is under arrest just yet. Slade, Frisbee, bring in the Indians. We're coming. Indians, Indians, Indians. All of you, be quiet. There's the other two fugitives. Order in this court! You can't run things in this high-handed way even if you are holding two guns on us. Have a laugh, Judge, we're covering everyone. All right, Mark, I'm in charge. Get this place quiet while I'm talking. Quiet! Quiet and I tell you! That's better. For the time being, Sheriff, you can't arrest those fugitives because they've got you and all your men covered. All right. All right, Mark, I'm... but you said the body of the man you shot wasn't unhand. Or what do you call the engine Frisbee and Slade brought in? I'd like to ask the witnesses if that's the man I'm said to have shot. Yes, it is. Do you agree with that banker, Bush? Yeah. What about you, Sheriff? It's him. Then, Judge, I'm not a murderer. Stand up, Tutto. Me, not shot. Me, not hit. It's the double-trust and frame of... That's what it is. Wait, I ain't done yet. Quiet in this!  I didn't shoot anyone. Here's the two men who just came in, Frisbee and Slade, were tried and found guilty in your court. Yes, that's right. And the witnesses against them was the same ones that appeared against me. Ain't that so, boys? Yes, that's right. And the reason was, Bush stole the money they had in his bank. Then, with the help of the sheriff and lying witnesses, he framed them for murder. And he told, it ain't so much of ya. Mark, I'm lying. Quiet, Sheriff. You make a more noise. Me stopping you. Get away from me, retchkin! Let me ask you this, banker Bush. Did I put cash in your bank? No, you did not. You heard that, Judge? Yeah, I heard it. Bush, you think you're safe in denying I put cash in your bank? Because you thought you got the slip of paper, that would prove it. Well, all you got was a copy of that same. Here, Judge, is the paper with Ben Bush's signature on it. Hey, there it is. Hi, Sergeant, Mark, I'm got it. What about it, Judge? Is Mark, I'm right? Hi, it seems to be. But never in my life have I seen anything like it. I ain't done yet, Judge. The masked man fired a shot, and I stayed where Tonto lay on the ground, waiting to see if I'd be framed. All them witnesses that said they'd seen the murder lied. Steve, you were watching Abe Gorman when the shot was fired. Where was he? Gorman was gambling in the cafes. Blackness! Lade, you were watching Lehman and Snyder when the shot was fired. Yeah, and they was calling on the widow Perkins. Mrs. Perkins will prove that. See you here, Judge! Wait! Let me speak, Mark, I'm... Yes, Your Honor? You wondered if I was on the level. Well, you will find out. Yeah? All it takes is a look at the faces of them lion witnesses to know the truth. Every one of them should be jailed for swearing away a man's life. That's it! That's it! But, Judge, that's what you shall do. And you, Bush, it looks like the murders, frisbee, slayed, and Larson have been charged with, are still unsolved. And it looks like it's up to me to appoint a deputy sheriff to arrest you for investigation. One minute, Judge! Yeah? You needn't appoint anyone. The United States Marshal is here to take charge of things. He is? Where's he at? You know him as Mark Hyman. Mark Hyman? Why?  I came here as a suggestion of the Lone Ranger. Why the Lone Ranger? He and Tonto outlined a plan where I'd be bait for the trap to show the sheriff and his deputies up as scheming crooks. But where's the Lone? Great gun! You mean that masked man is the Lone Ranger? That's about the size of it. Come, Tonto, we're finished here. Wait! Wait a minute, Lone Ranger. This town knows you a pretty. Stop him. I wanna speak to it. It's due to him that this community will be safe for honest men. Tonto, you have just heard of the copyrighted feature of the Lone Ranger Incorporated.


Okay, so in this training block we've got long runs for Amsterdam, we've got threshold runs. At this point, only two that I've got scheduled. And just like that, amazing everyone, the Pikes Peak Ascent training block is in the rearview mirror. It's done. I can't believe it. And yesterday's vlog was all about reflecting on the race. That's how I end a training block, okay, where I process and think and look at the workouts that I did. And how did they correspond or correlate to the actual race day effort and how, frankly, I can improve for the future. So that's what yesterday's vlog was. If you haven't seen it, check it out upper right hand corner. But now we're looking forward. That's right. To the Amsterdam Marathon, I'll come back to this in a minute. On October 20th, 2019, and mentally, I only think about one peak race at a time. So I was focused on Pikes Peak the last, really the last six weeks, since July 1st. And now it's in the rearview mirror. It's time to look to Amsterdam, which I just counted is 54 days away. That's crazy. That's not much time, but it's also a relief because lesson learned, okay. So if you're new to the channel, you might be wondering, and there's a lot of new folks because of the Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon coverage. You might be wondering, wait a minute, Seth. I thought you were a mountain runner, an uphill trail runner, and I am. And that is my number one passion in the long distance running world. But as I like to say, any distance, any surface. I forget who said that first, but meaning I'm not afraid to race on the roads. I would love to race a sea level 5k track race in 2020. That's one of my goals for 2020. But in addition, I'm trying to qualify for the Olympic Trials in the Marathon by January 31st, 2020. Because the Olympic Trials for the Marathon is, I think, February 29th in Atlanta, Georgia. So that's my goal. I need to run under two hours and 19 minutes, and therefore a couple lessons. So my first marathon that I was going to race in 2019 was going to be the Cleveland Marathon, but I had an injury and a couple lessons learned. We're going to dive into the Amsterdam training block here in a second, but I'm just trying to catch up, everybody. That is a new subscriber. I had an injury in late March, early April. So April, May, I was out completely. June, I started to come back from the injury. But basically, I was unable to race the Cleveland Marathon, and I think the reason I got injured was because the training block leading up to Cleveland was too long, way too long. It should have been shorter, which is why I'm pretty excited about Amsterdam only being 54 days. But then in addition, I was doing a little bit too much speed work, not intervals, but threshold running on pavement leading up to Cleveland, which I believe helped lead to my stress reaction in my left foot, which was a major bummer. We worked through it, and sure enough, bone injuries, they do heal. Sometimes it doesn't feel like they're ever going to heal, but eventually they do. So if you have a bone injury or really any injury, but especially bone injuries, just give it time, let it fully heal. And that's what I did. Remember the phantom pain kind of scared me, but sure enough, since July 1st, I've been able to put in a really solid summer of mountain running leading up to Pikespeak. And now we are looking to the future with 54 days to go before Amsterdam. And what's crazy is you're looking at the Amsterdam Marathon website right now. I actually didn't register until today because I just didn't know, am I going to be healthy after Pikespeak? I like that, you know, I was, it's been a kind of a precarious summer of training. Remember, I took some calculated risks leading into Pikespeak to make sure I arrived at the starting line as fit as possible and as fresh as possible. And sure enough, I arrived healthy. And now I feel confident enough today to hit that register button for the Amsterdam Marathon. So it's official. It's on the calendar. I'm going to Amsterdam to race this marathon and at sea level on a flat and fast course. If you've been subscribed for a while, you know my approach to marathon training and really any distance, okay, but especially the marathon. And I've said it a dozen times and I'm going to say it a dozen more times. I believe developing a bigger aerobic foundation is going to lead to a greater peak later in the training block, meaning your aerobic system.  That's right. Longer runs that you do in a training block, you are actually increasing the power. That's the cardiac efficiency of your heart, meaning how much blood can be pumped to your muscles during hard efforts in a race. It goes up. And frankly, I'll just say it. Sometimes I'm a little baffled when I see marathon training programs that skip over the aerobic development part of the block, of the training block. I think they go right into anaerobic work or interval work or speed work. And I'm not saying that's not important, but frankly, you've got to lay that foundation first before you start to, in my humble opinion, before you start to add speed work or interval work. And so for a marathon race, how I approach it and how I will be approaching Amsterdam is yes, the first 20 miles of the race is important, no doubt. But it's the last six miles that really matters. And that's where the aerobic, like if your aerobic system, if my aerobic system is not developed fully to the, you know, as much as I can possibly, as big as I can build that aerobic base, I'm going to be struggling the last four miles, the last three miles. And I, that's the last thing I want for Amsterdam is to go backward. So again, I'm going to be doing long runs, okay, 20 mile, 22 mile, possibly 23 mile long runs leading into Amsterdam. And not at crazy fast paces. We're talking for me, and for me, like, but 730 to 815 pace per mile. So not bopping along, but just going, just getting that work in, making sure that that cardiac efficiency is being developed so that the last six miles, the last 10k of a marathon I can finish strong. Like mile repeats, 1k repeats, that might help like the last, you know, I'm just going to say like the last two miles, but I'm more concerned about the last six miles. I want to make sure I feel in full control of my breathing and of my leg strength in order to cross the finish line as strong as possible. Now in addition to long runs, 20 miles, 22 miles leading into Amsterdam, I'm also going to be doing threshold runs. You all know how much I love threshold runs where basically you're, you're approaching going anaerobic, but you're not actually pushing through that ceiling, okay.  In order to calculate your threshold pace, you take your 5k PR, and then divide it by three. So whatever your mile pace is, 4 or 5k, and then add 20 to 30 seconds to that time. So for me, right now I can run, you know, based on a 5k I did last spring, I can run about five minutes a mile for a 5k. So my threshold pace would be 520 per mile, okay. So that's how you calculate your threshold running. And then, so I like to, I love to do threshold training for half marathons and now marathons, but for Cleveland, I think I did too much threshold training. So I'm probably most likely, and this is why I only did it in pencil, I'm probably only going to do two threshold runs, a nine mile and a 13 mile threshold run leading into the Amsterdam marathon. Why? I want to arrive at the starting line as fit as possible, as fresh as possible, but also frankly, healthy. I'm not, I don't want to mess around with another injury leading into Amsterdam. Okay. So in this training block, we've got long runs for Amsterdam. We've got threshold runs. At this point, only two that I've got scheduled. And then as far as going anaerobic, speed work, interval work, probably two or three. Not much. I need to think about it just a little bit more. Okay. And one specific workout that I will do leading into the Amsterdam marathon is what I call cresting the hill with 1k repeats basically. And it's especially important. Now listen, I'm very fortunate because Amsterdam is one of, if not the flattest marathon course in the world. It's very, very flat. But I'm still going to do this workout where I train myself. So if you're getting ready for Boston, which is pretty hilly, New York, Berlin is flat. Anyway, we're basically, I'll do six by 1k. So and it's a gentle, maybe 50 to 100 feet of elevation gain. So not much, but it is slightly uphill. So you should feel it in your legs where I will run, it basically all out. Not okay. Just say all out, but hard, a hard effort where your pH level is being plunged down and then a job back to the start. But the key is that I want to crest the hill and then do about 30 seconds where I'm running off the backside of the hill. Again, it's very gentle, gentle downhill and uphill. Like you, you're going to notice it, but it shouldn't be steep at all. Like your legs, you don't want to pound a downhill really, really hard. I just love the resistance of a gentle uphill for 1k repeats. And so I will, that is one example of a specific workout I will do leading into Amsterdam. Okay. So long runs, threshold, a two to three anaerobic efforts. I, I, you know, I'm tempted to say two right now because just based on my experience with speed work in the past, and I just know again, it's a marathon. Like it's, this is not a 5k or a 10k. Like this is a long effort. Like you're, you just don't need to go anaerobic that much in a marathon training block in my humble opinion. All right. All right. So I know that was a lot. I just threw at you. And hopefully I gave you some specific ideas for what I'm going to be doing leading into Amsterdam. We could talk all night, all day about training for a marathon. That'll be happening a lot more in the next 54 days. I can't believe it. So canals, keyword is canals for the, the canals in Amsterdam. I can't wait to go see Amsterdam. I know it's a beautiful city, experience the culture, run along the canals before the race. So anyway, it's going to be fun. And guess we will do a meetup while I'm over there. Absolutely. So there's that canals. A question of the day. And I've asked this before, but I'm going to ask it again. Do you have aspirations to race a marathon in the next 365 days? So the next year. All right. And if so, do you have a marathon on your radar? Yeah. Let us know. And maybe you're just getting into running. If so, who knows? Maybe it's a two or three year goal down the road. If so, that is great as well. But let us know what you're thinking as far as marathon racing moving forward. All right. I think that's it for today. And yes, I am going to throw up two vlogs here on the right. Is the injury announcement leading into Cleveland, just as a reminder for myself to stay smart in this training block leading into Amsterdam. And on the left, we're going to talk about threshold workouts. All right. That's it, folks. See beauty, work hard and love each other. Thanks for being here. See you tomorrow.
