Just you know, getting to know each other spending some time been really interesting Just listening to Jonathan and his dad talk about the the radiation And the whole diagnosis and everything They actually said that that watching my videos help them get a get a diagnosis on Just similar symptoms and then going in and checking it out Crazy stories First cast, you know what they say about first cast Unlucky We have migrated over to the other side the crank baits seem to be doing the deal just above the grass Is there another one? Are you double hooked? Never mind I take back what I said about first cast Chris is getting the whisker biscuits going over here. Wow. I just had one right here Try to eat it right in front of me took a swipe at it. Oh, you miss it again. He's like Territorial on it. Oh, I see him.

I don't know how many we would have caught at the lake but I know one thing we were freezing and It was not gonna be good times and now I think this afternoon They're gonna get into some fish. So this is fun Shout out to Chris to make a wish coordinator on this for Letting us come to this place and just kind of relax a little bit be out of the wind warm up and Continue fishing in comfort Monard that chose me to hang out with out of all people could have been Johnny Morris or Arnold Schwarzenegger Hey those are Taylor Swift. I mean, yeah, Taylor Swift Mondo just all right obviously, you don't have to catch me And it's good to be to you. Yeah, thank you. You know prayers to thank you and Chris. Thank you, too. Absolutely Yeah, I'm a great host. I might have to come back here and when it warms up. I'm telling you One it's hot. It's on fire. Well, y'all I've definitely never Been so honored. I was just blown away just an amazing feeling. I want to thank make-a-wish And also thank Jonathan and his family for wanting to come hang out with me The fishing was a little tough and I'm glad we ended up coming over here and where we could warm up and Just enjoy ourselves a little bit more Jonathan Has been through a lot. So the way you make a wish works You send in your request to be on the make-a-wish and then they interview you And it's anyone that has had a terminal type situation a life-threatening illness, which he's had And he had a cancerous brain tumor the size of a kiwi. They were able to extract that But then about a month later. He had to start immediate Radiation treatments and he's done chemo as well. So the radiation is it wasn't gamma knife It wasn't that concentrated it was it was more of a broad radiation which Has has a harder effect on the surrounding tissues of the brain and he'd had to do chemo as well Just going through all that. I mean just think about how lucky you are I mean, I feel lucky just to have the tumor that I have that's it's manageable and I know I can recover from it and yes, it's it's hard on Life for a period of time, but I know that I'm gonna be able to go on and be okay And for him to recover through that It just shows true toughness true grit And he's a make-a-very-cast count fishing freak I mean he would have kept fishing all day But he got him a good sniff in and we just had a we had a good time sharing some stories It was good to share some tumor stories with somebody That has really been through a lot a lot more than me So if you think you're having a bad day, just think about Jonathan and all the other People out there that have really really bad brain tumors that have some really tough battles ahead of them. So You are blessed if you have good health and just be happy with that and that is where we're gonna end our Dangle for the day a truly honorable day Thanks to make-a-wish and Jonathan and just a just a great day out on the water There was a lot of conversations and things I I didn't film, but they were personal to me and I'm sure personal with with the family as well and Anyway, we'll just keep them in our prayers.
