You'd think that being the only winner on this casino trip would have rendered Farmer H to a tolerable mellowness for the trip home. You'd be wrong. We were barely back on the interstate when I tried to make conversation.
"I only saw the last half of the new Alone show last night. I wish you'd told me it was on. It used to be Thursdays. So I was surprised."
"I didn't think of it. I started watching it, but it was nothing special."
"I don't know all the contestants. I'll have to look them up. I kind of like that New Zealand guy, in his 20s, but it bothered me that he kept walking around barefoot. That's just asking for trouble."
"He's like Cody, that barefoot partner with Bear Grylls."
"What? Bear Grylls never had a partner!"
"He did too! Him and that Cody guy who was always barefoot."
"No. Bear Grylls had a bunch of guest stars. It was HIS show. He never had a partner."
"I know you watched that show. Now you're saying he didn't go barefoot. He DID TOO!"
"First of all, you need to know what I said before you go yelling at me. The only "BEAR" I was denying was that Bear Grylls did not have a partner on his show!"
"Then what was the name of Cody's partner?"
"I don't know."
"SEE! You don't even know his partner, but you're saying it wasn't Bear Grylls."
"I don't know Cody's partner because he had more than one. The first guy left. So there were different shows with him."
Well. Farmer H's nose was out of joint. I guess because I couldn't prove the name of Cody's partner on his survival show. Or maybe because he was wrong about Bear Grylls, but wouldn't admit it. He didn't ask The Pony to look it up! And he refused to speak the rest of the way home. Then went to bed before 6:30, while I was in town.
Farmer H is a petty, petty man. But came home the next day acting like none of this happened. You'd think by now I would have learned that no conversation with Farmer H goes unpunished.

Dave Canterbury and Joe Teti were Cody Lundin's partners on Dual Survivor. Cody was the one who was barefoot all of the time. We used to watch this pretty regularly, back in the day. Ranee (thought you'd like to know for future arguments or discussions) LOL
Rae,
Good to know! I remember watching, and Cody having a different partner after a while.
I have never watched any of those type of shows so I am no help at all.
River,
I like those kind of shows, but some of them have parts that I think are staged. Like when they just happen to find something abandoned that they can use for survival.
