Hey everyone, welcome to the show. It’s good to be back like I mentioned in the last episode my editor Nick had to take a couple weeks off unexpectedly. So hopefully everything runs smoothly from here on out. This is another Patrick McManus episode, titled “The Big Match” from Never Sniff A Gift Fish. Unfortunately, I learned that our beloved author passed away last week, at the age of 84. So this episode is extra special, and I hope you all enjoy it. Thanks for listening!

Hey everyone, welcome to the show. At the beginning of this episode I clarify something that was spoken about on our last episode about Colorado. It has to do with the legality of certain types of broad heads, so make sure you listen closely, and I apologize for any confusion and misinforming all of you. This episode is once again a Patrick McManus episode. This chapter is from his book “To Sniff a Gift Fish,” titled “The Bush Pilot.” I apologize for the lack of episodes from last week, but we are back on it and have got a lot of content coming out for you guys and we will be as consistent as we should be for you all. I appreciate you listening today, and being patient with us! Hope you all enjoy this episode as much as I did.

Hey everyone, welcome to the show. Today’s episode is a little different. I am joined by my old friend Charlie Bisharat, who was the founder and creator of Stalker Stickbows. In this episode, we reminisce over how Stalker came to be, the series of events that lead up to it being handed over to me, and just over all some of the history behind the company. I hope you guy’s enjoy this sort of behind the scenes episode, and thanks for listening.

Hey everybody, welcome to the show. Today’s episode is another Patrick McManus reading from the book “Into the Twilight-Endlessly Grousing.” The chapter is titled Mrs. Peabody Two. If you have listened to the previous readings, you’ll remember the story about the car that was named “Mrs. Peabody.” This is yet another similar story, and as you will all be able to notice, this one struck a chord with me. I apologize for the uncontrollable laughing, but I honestly couldn’t help myself. My editor Nick even cleaned it up and shortened it quite a bit, but insisted on leaving a good chunk of me laughing hysterically because it is just too funny to take out. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did, and thanks for listening.

Welcome to the show, today’s episode is another Patrick McManus episode. Todays reading is from the book "Never Sniff a Gift Fish,” chapter titled “The Mountain Car.” I’ve heard a bunch of feedback from the listeners saying that they really enjoy these episodes, which has been awesome for me since I genuinely enjoy reading these chapters and I’m so glad that I’m not the only one. As you may have noticed in some of the previous episodes, the humor in these chapters can really get to me, and I try my best to read as clearly as possible but I can’t help but laugh uncontrollably sometimes. I’ve heard from a few people that it’s pretty funny to just listen to me laughing. So, I hope you enjoy this episode and thank you for tuning in!
