Steve Rinella, welcome to the show, man.

Thank you.

It's a privilege.

Come on.

I always watch your... I consume tons of the shorts you pull from your episodes.

Oh, thank you.

I like them, yeah.

Thank you.

I like all the warriors, man.

Yeah.

Yeah, I had a number of real life-changing experiences hunting down in

South America with indigenous South Americans.

Um, you know, some, some people use the term Amer Indians.

Uh, I spent time with, um, some guys that are from the Makushi tribe, um, or Makushi and Wapashon tribes in, in Bolivia.

And then the Chimane, um, sorry, Makushi and Wapashon and Guyana and the Chimane in Bolivia.

And we're on a river trip, traveling up a river with some Chimane guys.

And they had a shotgun, which is kind of a common armament down there.

And it would be that, like I was with these guys, another trip I was with, just to give you a sense of the ammunition and stuff they use down there is, I was with these guys in Guyana one time that they weren't supposed to have a gun, right?

They weren't allowed to have firearms, but they had a firearm and they had a 16 gauge shotgun.

And they had 12 gauge ammo.
