What recent Supreme Court ruling affects marijuana users and gun ownership?
Hunting rights are getting an unexpected boost in Massachusetts and more. But first, our news. I just got back from Sicily. Oh, that's why Sicily's on the motherland. I had no idea. My great-grandparents are from Sicily. They're Sicilians. So there's a couple things that went on. As a kid, my main takeaways from this trip, my dad had a curse. Like if you hit your thumb with a hammer sort of situation, he would say what I remember to be.
What logging practices are being implemented after windstorms?
I remember it to be Votanabi Sheikhu. I have gone to a lot of Italians over the years and said, does this mean anything to you if I say Votanabe Shaku? And they're always like, no, I don't know what that is.
How is Oregon addressing wildlife funding and habitat issues?
Once I was in Sicily, I didn't appreciate the difference between Sicilian and Italian. Huge difference between Sicilian and Italian. We had a tour guide, like you're doing like a little tour around an old town. And I'm chatting the tour lady up at the end of the tour. And I said, maybe you can help me with something. does it mean anything to you if I say, Votanabi Sheku? And she says, do you maybe mean Botana Rushaku? I'm like, that's it? And her response was, wow, that's a big one. I'm not going to tell you what that is. I'll write it down for you, and you can look it up later. Bad words.
What new opportunities are available for elk hunting in North Carolina?
Terrible. Then I was talking to a guy, a youngster, 30-year-old guy, long hair, man bun. I said to him, I'm telling him the story. He's Sicilian. I tell him, and he's like, wow, yeah, that's a big one. It's a big one. Commonly used or no? It would be. What you're saying is that there's a lady of the night with an equine clientele. I'll leave it at that. Wow.
What Sicilian curse did Steve learn during his trip?
But it's, yeah, terrible. No wonder he just said that in Italian. And he would say that in a moment. If he hit his thumb with a hammer. Like instead of saying mother, you say that. Horse. Yep. The other thing that happened, this is another Sicily highlight. So we go to, oh, another one is that we've been, I've been saying my name wrong my whole life. It's Rinella. I've been saying it right all along. We go to this little dinky town. We're on this volcanic island. And here and there is like these little valleys. And sometimes it'd be a place where the volcanic crater like blew a wall out. And when it blew a wall out, it'd create like a little spot. You could put a town there and grow some grapes. Some of these places just have one road going in, and that's it.
One road goes down in there. So we have a driver, and he takes us down to this little town, not far from Renoa, the town of Renoa. But we go down in this little village, and we kind of want to walk. So he's like, well, just walk, and I'll pick you up down in town. So my wife and my kids were wandering all around. And we eventually get where we just never run into the guy. There's not a lot to do, and it's rural. And we wind up, there's these rock walls, and there's this road. The road has signs. We come to where the road has these signs. And I don't know Italian, but I know enough to know that these signs say private road. And I confirm. It's private road, like in eight different ways, private road. We're standing there talking, and this one old-timer says,
Who's got like, he's just got a pair of shorts, no shirt, no shoes. He comes out of the bushes and he's kind of like wondering what we're doing. And then I see him turn a ball valve to like irrigate something and go back into the bushes. My wife gets the driver on the phone. We clear up where we're at. The driver comes down. We climb in the driver's car. He drives into through the signs. I say to my kids out loud, I say, I guess it's okay to drive on a private road here.
