Let's go fishing! It's week five, and we've caught three fish so far. But last trip, things got a little rocky with my mates, Brad and Lance.

"Ask you one simple thing and you flip the out! This is my boat! I'm the captain! I'm the boss! And that's that!"

I don't know, man, that's just bad. In the meantime, I took care of Brad and Lance and got them paid. Now I'm just hoping to move on and get back to fishing.

"Where the hell is everybody? Guys are supposed to be here! I'm going to call Brad and see where he's at."

"Your call has been forwarded to..." He won't answer his call. Well, let's see if Lance will answer.

"Yeah, hey! Where are you? I just got down to the boat; we're ready to go at 5! Can you hear me?"

"Hey! Than, you didn't say anything to me! You should have said something like a man!"

"A man? You go way out of your way to beat my ass every day! Every single day! What do you put up with working on a boat? On top of that, you're going to back down five miles on a fish? What kind of fishing is that, dude? Why do you think Brad left? It wasn't because of the money; it's because you're..."

"How many Tunas have you caught, Lance? How many Tunas have you caught in your lifetime? You're unbelievable! You're a googan! That's all you are, dude! You're talking like that? You're a goog!"

"No, take care."

Oh, he just hung up. He just hung up! I've never experienced anything like this in my life, ever! Ever in all the years of fishing!

The only Tunas he ever caught was with me in his whole life! You just don't leave your captain high and dry; you just don't do that! But I'm not going to let this slow me down.

"I'm going to go lone wolf, baby! Let's go catch some tuna! I'm going to catch fish! You watch!"

How I was held at gunpoint while selling a private jet!
