00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 1>Now I have a dog man's story here, you guys

2
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>may think is pretty interesting. It happens in California. Here's

3
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>what the man writes. I live in a remote part

4
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:26.199
<v Speaker 1>of Antelope Valley in southern California, nestled against the foothills

5
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.320
<v Speaker 1>of the San Gabriel Mountains, next to Devil's Punch Bowl Park.

6
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.359
<v Speaker 1>My property stretches across two and a half acres, fenced

7
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 1>in and secluded enough that isolation has become its own

8
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:43.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of companion. My nearest neighbor lives half a mile away.

9
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.119
<v Speaker 1>In their porch. Light is like a distant star on

10
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:50.159
<v Speaker 1>the horizon. The nights are thick with silence and mystery.

11
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:53.679
<v Speaker 1>For the past ten years, this land has been home,

12
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>but it's never been entirely mine. Something else claims it too.

13
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 1>From the moment I moved in, I felt it a

14
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>strange energy that seeped into my bones, both inside the

15
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 1>house and out. The quality of the energy wasn't hostile,

16
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>but it wasn't exactly friendly either. Now this land is

17
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 1>harsh and unforgiving, a high desert sitting directly on the

18
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 1>San Andreas Fault. At times, deep underground subtle rumbles reached

19
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.519
<v Speaker 1>the surface, vibrating through my body as though it wants

20
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to remind me that it is alive. The previous owners

21
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>were an elderly couple. They had lived there together for

22
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>almost twenty five years and operated a horse rescue business. Sadly,

23
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:43.359
<v Speaker 1>the lady of the house had recently passed away, and

24
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 1>the husband decided to sell the property and move on.

25
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.319
<v Speaker 1>I remember one time, while I was having a conversation

26
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>with the man, I felt the strange energy come over me.

27
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.319
<v Speaker 1>I took a chance and casually mentioned it to him,

28
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.319
<v Speaker 1>then watched his eyes well with tears. I saw a

29
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>hint of longing in his face, as if he knew

30
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 1>exactly what I meant, and I was already missing it.

31
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I think all the horses that lived on the property

32
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 1>left a con presence there which still remains. Despite the

33
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 1>negative experiences that I had in the first few months

34
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>after I moved in, sleep was not a refuge but

35
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a battleground. Night after night, I found myself trapped in

36
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the clutches of vivid sleep paralysis. My body was heavy

37
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and unyielding, and it felt like it belonged to someone else. Dark,

38
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>shadowy shapes gathered above me, their forms amorphous and shifting

39
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 1>like smoke. Their presence was unmistakably oppressive. They whispered in

40
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.639
<v Speaker 1>voices just barely audible, their hissing tones brushing against my

41
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>ears like an invasive wind. But the worst part was

42
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 1>the hand. It was cold and unseen and impossibly strong,

43
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>and it would wrap around my own locking it in

44
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>a crushing grip. No matter how much I strained, I

45
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>couldn't break free. My hand was immobilized, and I could

46
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:13.159
<v Speaker 1>feel a taunting pressure in its grasp, as if the

47
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:17.879
<v Speaker 1>entity was mocking my helplessness. So every night the terror

48
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 1>grew worse, and I felt violated, like a prisoner in

49
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.439
<v Speaker 1>my own bed, unable to defend myself against an enemy

50
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>that I could not see. For weeks, I endured this, too,

51
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 1>afraid to fight back, unsure if I even could. But

52
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:37.719
<v Speaker 1>one night the fear gave way to anger, pure unfiltered anger,

53
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and I had had enough. Lying there, unable to move,

54
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 1>I summoned every ounce of courage I had. My voice

55
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't reach my lips, but it echoed in my mind,

56
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>loud and defiant. Now you've had your fun, and you

57
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.879
<v Speaker 1>wanted to terrorize me, and you succeeded, But no more

58
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 1>enough of this nonsense. Leave me, kill me if you must,

59
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>but you will never win. The room fell deathly silent,

60
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:08.039
<v Speaker 1>the kind of silence that feels alive, pressing against your ears.

61
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>And then, as quickly as they had come, the shadows receded,

62
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>the whispers stopped, the crushing grip on my hand released,

63
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>leaving me trembling but free. That was the last night

64
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 1>they visited. I don't know if it was my defiance

65
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>or something else that drove them away, but they left.

66
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>The house felt quieter after that. It was less heavy,

67
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 1>though the memory of those nights still lingered like a scar.

68
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.959
<v Speaker 1>I won that battle, but I've never been certain of

69
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:43.639
<v Speaker 1>the war. Although the house became quieter after that, outside,

70
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the feeling of being watched grew stronger, especially at night.

71
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Still today, every evening, even when I arrived home and

72
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>step out of my car to open the gate, I

73
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.959
<v Speaker 1>feel the eyes on me. Not human eyes. There's something else,

74
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:03.600
<v Speaker 1>something heavy and deliberate. I walked my property at night

75
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>with my three fearless massive wolfhounds, and on some nights

76
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:11.519
<v Speaker 1>they stopped dead in their tracks, refusing to move, their

77
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>hackles rise and their gazes fixed on the darkness. The

78
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.920
<v Speaker 1>first few times panic gripped me. It was as if

79
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>an invisible line had been drawn one I dared not cross.

80
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.199
<v Speaker 1>My fear was a tangible thing, gripping me tighter with

81
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>every step. And then I heard it, a voice in

82
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 1>my mind, calm but commanding. As long as you don't

83
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>actively look for me, you'll be fine, it said. The

84
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:42.639
<v Speaker 1>voice was not a threat, but a warning, and the

85
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 1>words lingered, and while they didn't erase the fear, they

86
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 1>dulled its edge. Since that night, I stayed on my

87
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>side of the line, keeping my walks brief and my

88
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:57.199
<v Speaker 1>gaze low, but the presence never left. The nights when

89
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.720
<v Speaker 1>the codes hauled were almost comforting, their halls familiar and alive.

90
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 1>But then there were the silent nights when my dogs,

91
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>usually very bold, stood frozen, ears flat, refusing to bark.

92
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Those were the nights I knew that it was near.

93
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Since then, I never sought it out, never tried to

94
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:21.319
<v Speaker 1>pierce the veil of darkness around me. But sometimes I

95
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.920
<v Speaker 1>can't help but wonder, as I stand under the vast,

96
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>starless sky, what watches from the shadows, and why does

97
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.680
<v Speaker 1>it let me stay. I've seen it only in glimpses,

98
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the blackest of black shadows and low to the ground,

99
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>with the unmistakable shape of a massive K nine. It

100
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 1>never crosses the boundary, but it doesn't have to because

101
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't challenge it. Somehow, I know that would be

102
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>my undoing. For ten years, I've called this place home.

103
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Yet every night reminds me that I'm not alone. The

104
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>truth that I've struck with whatever claims this land has

105
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>held steady, but the uneasy balance is not without its moments.

106
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Living here means accepting the inexplicable as part of life,

107
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.199
<v Speaker 1>like the black shadows of glimpsed in the corner of

108
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 1>my eye, or the faint vibrations underfoot when the earth

109
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>seems to breathe. One night, about two years ago, I

110
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.839
<v Speaker 1>experienced something I still struggled to make sense of. It

111
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.079
<v Speaker 1>was a quiet, moonless evening, the kind of night where

112
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the darkness felt heavier than usual. The air was colder

113
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.759
<v Speaker 1>than it should have been for the season. It was

114
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 1>almost damp, and my dogs were restless. I stepped out

115
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:37.839
<v Speaker 1>to take them for a walk around the perimeter, but

116
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:41.480
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't budge from the porch. Their bodies were stiff,

117
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 1>their tails were low, and eyes were locked on the

118
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>tree line at the edge of the property, and that's

119
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:51.240
<v Speaker 1>when I saw it, something massive, moving just beyond the fence.

120
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.439
<v Speaker 1>Its shape was indistinct, cloaked in the shadow, but its

121
00:07:55.439 --> 00:08:00.399
<v Speaker 1>sheer size ruled out any ordinary predator. It wasn't a

122
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.600
<v Speaker 1>coyote or a mountain lion. It was something bigger, heavier,

123
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.759
<v Speaker 1>and utterly alien in the way it moved. At first,

124
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>it seemed to glide without effort, but then its motion

125
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 1>fragmented and shuddered, like an image caught in a flickering light.

126
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.680
<v Speaker 1>It was as if it existed in flashes, each appearance,

127
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 1>momentarily bending the darkness around it like ripples in black water.

128
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>The effect was hypnotic and deeply unsettling, as though the

129
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:32.399
<v Speaker 1>creature was not entirely bound to the same reality that

130
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I inhabited. I froze there and stood, my heart pounding

131
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.960
<v Speaker 1>in my chest like a drum. A low, rumbling growl

132
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:44.399
<v Speaker 1>rose from my dogs, and the sound reverberated through the

133
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.759
<v Speaker 1>still night air. But even then they did not move closer.

134
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.440
<v Speaker 1>The creature stopped abruptly, and the shifting light seemed to

135
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:57.879
<v Speaker 1>dissolve into stillness. That's when I saw them, two glowing

136
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:04.440
<v Speaker 1>orbs unmistakably eyes shining with a faint, other worldly luminescence.

137
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>They reflected a light that wasn't there, as if pulling

138
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:14.639
<v Speaker 1>brightness from some unseen source. Those eyes locked on to me, unblinking, steady,

139
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 1>and impossibly knowing. I couldn't move the weight of its

140
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>gaze to pin me in place, and for a moment,

141
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:27.399
<v Speaker 1>the world seemed to hold its breath. Whatever it was,

142
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:32.440
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't just watching, It was evaluating. It didn't run,

143
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:37.039
<v Speaker 1>and I couldn't. Instead, I slowly backed into the house

144
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:41.279
<v Speaker 1>and my dogs followed close behind. The thing didn't follow,

145
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:45.360
<v Speaker 1>but its presence lingered like a weight on my chest.

146
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:49.279
<v Speaker 1>Another time, I came home late from work, and as usual,

147
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.679
<v Speaker 1>I stepped out of my car to open the gate.

148
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:55.279
<v Speaker 1>The air was still, but the feeling of being watched

149
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 1>was so intense that it felt like a hand pressing

150
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.759
<v Speaker 1>on my shoulder. I hurried to the gate and fumbled

151
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.080
<v Speaker 1>with a lock, and then I heard it, a low growl,

152
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.399
<v Speaker 1>not far behind me. Spinning around, I saw nothing but

153
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.039
<v Speaker 1>the dark expanse of my yard. My dogs were inside

154
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>the house, barking furiously, their voices muffled by the thick walls.

155
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 1>The most unsettling experience happened last winter. I was in bed,

156
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.120
<v Speaker 1>drifting to sleep when I heard scratching at my bedroom window.

157
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:31.120
<v Speaker 1>My bedroom is on the second floor. I lay there, paralyzed,

158
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:34.879
<v Speaker 1>listening to the steady, deliberate sound. It wasn't the wind

159
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:39.320
<v Speaker 1>or a tree branch. The scratches were too purposeful, too rhythmic,

160
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>gathering my courage. I peeped through the curtain and there

161
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.480
<v Speaker 1>was nothing there, just the faint outline of the tree

162
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 1>swaying in the wind. But as I turned away, I

163
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>saw a faint outline and the frost on the glass,

164
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.799
<v Speaker 1>and the shape of a massive pall. Despite everything, I've

165
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>come to respect this land deeply. I never puts the

166
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:04.519
<v Speaker 1>boundaries and tread with humility. I think that's why it

167
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:09.039
<v Speaker 1>lets me stay. We share this land, me and whatever

168
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:12.960
<v Speaker 1>watches from the shadows. And for now, that uneasy truce

169
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.600
<v Speaker 1>is enough. But even now, as I write this, I

170
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.320
<v Speaker 1>can feel it. It's outside in the dark, Something is

171
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:26.519
<v Speaker 1>waiting and watching. It's always watching. Oh oh, I read

172
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>this story cold. I had not read it before I

173
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.799
<v Speaker 1>pulled it up. Rebecca, my editor just actually sent it

174
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.320
<v Speaker 1>to me today, and I thought, I'm just gonna knock

175
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.799
<v Speaker 1>out one story today in a podcast and get it

176
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.000
<v Speaker 1>out and then I'm gonna get to work. I'm so

177
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:43.879
<v Speaker 1>blown away by the way this guy can write, Holy smokes,

178
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's a guy. I'm almost sure it is.

179
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.559
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't give his name, so I don't know if it's

180
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 1>a man or woman. It's written kind of in a

181
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:54.799
<v Speaker 1>masculine sense, and it has a masculine feel to it,

182
00:11:54.879 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 1>but who knows what. More than the story, it's the writing.

183
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:02.000
<v Speaker 1>It really stood out to me on this. Did you

184
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:06.200
<v Speaker 1>guys like that? Hey, I am pretty busy these days,

185
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.840
<v Speaker 1>So what I may do is just do one story

186
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:14.200
<v Speaker 1>per podcast, or maybe two short stories. Just get some

187
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.840
<v Speaker 1>shorter podcasts out to keep things rolling. Man, if I

188
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:21.440
<v Speaker 1>go too many days without doing this podcast, I start

189
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:24.759
<v Speaker 1>jonesing for it. Know what I may? I start getting

190
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, antsy, and it feels like I kind

191
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:30.840
<v Speaker 1>of lose my It's like I open up a file

192
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>to read and I can't read anymore. So I got

193
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.960
<v Speaker 1>to keep doing it to be able to keep doing this.

194
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:38.879
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I don't know what I'm talking about.

195
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:42.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm just blibering. I'm just blibering. That's what I do. Hey,

196
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.440
<v Speaker 1>thank y'all for listening. Hey, I wanted to say one

197
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.320
<v Speaker 1>more thing before I get off this podcast. I don't

198
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>know if you guys watch TikTok, but there's a guy

199
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and I don't watch it much, only follow maybe I

200
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.679
<v Speaker 1>don't know, two or three dozen channels. I'm normally just

201
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:03.039
<v Speaker 1>it's usually while I'm in the bathroom, I'm just flipping

202
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.519
<v Speaker 1>through videos. But there's a guy from Kentucky. He's a

203
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:10.480
<v Speaker 1>truck driver. The name of his TikTok handle is Peterbilt

204
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.279
<v Speaker 1>seventy one. He does all kind of stuff. He first,

205
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.799
<v Speaker 1>he drives a big peter Bilt. It's an older model

206
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.720
<v Speaker 1>peter Bilt. But he pulled the camera out of his

207
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:22.080
<v Speaker 1>truck the other day and there's that big old peter

208
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Bilt with that big snout sticking out on the front

209
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.519
<v Speaker 1>and a sleeper behind it, and he's pulling a low

210
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.600
<v Speaker 1>boy with a big excavator on the back. I don't know,

211
00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I just admire those guys. I wish I knew how

212
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:34.159
<v Speaker 1>to drive one of those trucks. I'd love to do

213
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:39.639
<v Speaker 1>that for a living. But he also does these little

214
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:43.879
<v Speaker 1>short one minute videos sitting in his truck eating lunch,

215
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:47.159
<v Speaker 1>and he Whenever I watch him eat, it reminds me

216
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.080
<v Speaker 1>of me and my grandfather and the stuff my grandfather

217
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.679
<v Speaker 1>would feed me. I can't tell you how many times

218
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.039
<v Speaker 1>my grandfather and I would sit on the back porch

219
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.720
<v Speaker 1>in the summer and he'd get a pack of hot dogs,

220
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.960
<v Speaker 1>cut him out and hand me just raw cold hot dog.

221
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:06.960
<v Speaker 1>We'd have a pack of crackers in a block of cheese,

222
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, sharp cheddar cheese, and we just sit there

223
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and eat hot dogs and crackers and cheese and any

224
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.480
<v Speaker 1>sausages and other kind of sausages you can get in

225
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>a can. But he eats a lot of these canned

226
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:23.080
<v Speaker 1>meats and canned anyway. I can't do the sardines and

227
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:26.320
<v Speaker 1>some of the things he does. This guy will eat anything.

228
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.919
<v Speaker 1>But I know where he gets it from because he

229
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:31.919
<v Speaker 1>came up eating that way, and when you come up

230
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.519
<v Speaker 1>eating that way, you always eat that way. But I

231
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.279
<v Speaker 1>just love him, I love his personality. I don't know

232
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.759
<v Speaker 1>his name, Peter Bilt seventy one. Y'all look him up

233
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.679
<v Speaker 1>on TikTok. He may be on YouTube too, I don't know,

234
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.600
<v Speaker 1>but if you watch TikTok, I just love the guy,

235
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:49.519
<v Speaker 1>and I just wanted to give him a shout out.

236
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I doubt he's a truck driver. He may hear this,

237
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:55.159
<v Speaker 1>he may not. I don't know. But Peter Bilt seventy one,

238
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.519
<v Speaker 1>you the man. You make me hungry every time I

239
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:00.799
<v Speaker 1>watch your videos. Brother, all right, thank youall for watching

240
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.639
<v Speaker 1>the podcast or listening to the podcast, and we'll sing

241
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:04.960
