In this episode, JP is thankful to have a regular guest at The Outliers Inn, Don “Beer Man” Burshnick, able to step up and be the co-host on zero notice because Mule has forgotten (yet again) to be in a state of readiness to fulfill his hostly duties.

Thanks Beer Man!

Beer Man, coming from a long line of early starters, shares that he is thankful for recently becoming a great grandfather. And JP is thankful his book has been very well recieved and the thoughts contained therein has resonated with his intended audience and has generated a lot of business; his 2022 has been his busiest ever and 2023 looks to be at least as busy.

But come to find out that Mule (who joined as a guest a bit later) was away hunting pheasant in the midwest United States. And fortunately, neither he nor anyone else in his party pulled a “Dick Cheney”; or worse, and “Alec Baldwin”.

They did manage to get 190 birds. JP, not being against hunting, was nonetheless concerned because that seemed like an aweful lot of birds. But Mule went to explain that the birds are raised to be harvested in the hunt. So the population is sustained and not strained.

JP shares that this is similar to the practices in Southern Africa where the herd is managed and maintained for hunting and, without this industry, the animals would surely be in jeapardy.

Stephane joins the conversation and continues Mule’s conversation regarding the drought conditions he saw while on the hunt. He shares that it has been a very challenging year for the farm industry because of the weather and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But he is thankful that his company is working hard and making progress to help farmers and their crops endure the increasingly unpredictable weather.

So come and give a listen!

    Video Version About the podcast In this episode, JP shares his experience with the “mandated” COVID test to come back to the States from Germany; apparently, it is on the “honor system” because nobody actually wanted to see the results. It seems that almost all of these “mandates” are fictitious. Supposedly, quarantines are mandatory (same with negative COVID tests when flying into the States). But…
