He's getting ready to go down. Yeah, that's Sean Pomerecki.
I mean, he has to get through the overburden.
Yeah, I mean, he does quite well.
Well, they probably make more off Discovery Channel than they do gold mining. Really? Yeah, I think.
I know a few of these guys. They don't get much gold. But they're willing to do that. Oh, yeah. For not much gold. Yeah, but they get a pretty good paycheck. You got to remember something. You know this. There's nothing real about reality TV. That's true.
We did a stint with Discovery Channel. I'm sorry, National Geographic. No more.
Well, yeah. I mean, they want to make drama. They want to pit the kids against each other.
No, no, no, no, no, no. We don't do that shit.
Those are good.
No, thanks.
Well, I do the Zen once in a while.
Oh, cool. No, I was talking to the doctor. He says, you might go through some nicotine withdrawals. And I said, no, I won't. I quit. I'm done. He says, it's not the nicotine that's hurting you. It's the smoking that's hurting you. The carcinogenics going in your lungs and all the chemicals and all that bullshit. He says, nicotine's as good as caffeine. It's just straight up nicotine's fine.
And I'm going, okay. I like that. I've tried it.
In my case, I got to the point in my life where I'm going – I've done it for so long, something's going to get me.
But now I realize, hey, it won't be that. It won't be smoking. It might be a bear coming up on me without me seeing it. It might drive a cat over the edge. I don't know what will happen. But I honestly never thought I'd get past 50 when I was growing up.
I thought I'd be dead by 45. Why? Why? Child of the 70s, man. It's all fucked up back then.
You know, there's a former governor of Alaska named Walter Hickel that Richard Nixon appointed to be Secretary of the Interior in 1970. So he went and did that and went into Nixon one day and says, look, the Vietnam War is wrong. Nixon goes, you're fired. Get out of here. So he went back to Alaska. He became a governor, a great governor, probably one of the best governors we ever had.
And at some point, he was a Republican, but the Republicans already had a candidate. The Democrats had a candidate. So he ran as an Alaskan for Independence candidate. Their party platform was to secede from the United States. And I used to be the treasurer for that group. I'm going, I like this guy. That sounds like fun. Let's do that. That guy got elected. Wow.
And Jack Coghill was his lieutenant governor. I knew him quite well.
I still do.
