dry Creek be different be unique be you in Portuguese dwayne here Dry Creek Wrangler School December 25th 2022 uh so want to wish you guys a merry Christmas hoping everybody's getting through that storm that came through the country we had about a 45 degree drop in temperature over a matter of just six or seven hours and so we've spent the last three days out here uh busting up water and hauling water five gallon buckets and putting hay out and but I think I think for us anyhow it's uh it's about past it's doing better um
so I want to ask you I want to ask you a question all right what makes you uniquely you i think a lot of times folks especially young folks who I tend to empathize with and speak to more often they're not comfortable because they're going along with the society that's around them and they're trying to fit in the framework uh of what everyone around them or on whatever social media they're on says that they should be how they should look uh how they should conduct themselves and you can't be comfortable with yourself if you don't
know who yourself is and you can't know who yourself is if you don't stop looking at how everybody around you is uh and start looking at what makes you comfortable and what makes you uniquely you there's roughly close to I guess about 8 billion people on this planet uh but there's only one you uh would you stand out in a crowd not in a bad way uh what makes you you doesn't need to be something that's immoral uh or obnoxious or uh or uncomfortable uh but just uniquely you just you now I get a lot
of comments on there on the channel a lot about my wardrobe uh I spent a lot of years in Alaska a lot of years riding in Alaska and then riding singular psycholog For example [Music] So Okay egoentric north [Music] America influenc Brazil [Music] scholars [Music] For example ETA In certain So do principle singular [Music] you know in Wyoming and Colorado and other places and over the years I've developed me me what works for me what I like what I'm comfortable with whether it be my wardrobe whether it be the beard whether it be the hair
uh whether it be the rifles and the handguns that I carry when I'm hunting and out in the woods whatever it is it's me and I don't ask "What is everybody around me doing?" And so that's what I need to do when I went and got the job in Colorado I guess it was last summer um and uh well summer before last uh when I showed up I was me and I had the Filson vests and I had a big old long beard uh I had the black This is my winter um hat uh resist
all 7X and uh I saw no need to change i saw no need to go start buying uh short sleeve pearl snap shirts and and straw hats uh square toaded uh Cayman boots and I saw no need to change i I was me and I could cowboy uh being me the same as I could cowboy trying to look like somebody else uh the I shaved the beard after a while because during branding and uh that time of year we spent a lot of time out in the in the lots and in the pins with the
cattle and there was so much wind and so much dust that it just stayed dirty all the time and I couldn't I couldn't keep it decent i couldn't keep it nice and so I shaved it because that's what I needed to do for me but then when I got to where it was practical again I grew it back out why because it's me um because it's me and you'll not find um what's the word I want confidence in yourself if you don't know who yourself is you won't find confidence in yourself if you're so busy
trying to figure out what everybody around you thinks you ought to be and then match that because you're not going to make people around you happy you're not going to okay um and uh so you need to be you uh young ladies uh if there's any young ladies watching this uh right now um society social media says that you need to dress and conduct yourself like you're making money on a street corner in LA somewhere and you're like there's something deep inside of you that's like eh it's kind of cheap i I don't know don't
do it don't do it be you be you okay don't let social media and culture and television and media tell you how you should be and what you should be and who you should be now again there are people who will use that as an excuse to be immoral or to be obnoxious or to be hateful uh or to be uh irritating i'm not talking about that okay i think if you've watched any of my videos you you know I'm not I'm not talking about that um I'll give an example here that my wife has
warned me I should not give and I'm probably going to regret it because my wife is the wiser of the two and usually when I don't follow her advice I pay for it uh but I'm going Today is December 25th it's Christmas Day now my last name is N O L we pronounce it Noel but there's others who pronounce it Noel my last name literally means Christmas that's what it means now listen to what I'm saying and listen to all of my words when I say this okay i don't celebrate Christmas now we bought some
Christmas gifts for the grandkids we don't I don't have a problem with Christmas i don't have a problem with Christmas i don't have a problem with those who celebrate Christmas and when people say "Wish me a merry Christmas." I happily wish it back i hope you do have a merry Christmas uh it's good am I a Christian yes I am do I masterch okay fore foreign foreign [Music] international okay do I believe uh in the birth of Jesus Christ yes I do do I believe he was born of a virgin do I believe in Bethlehem
and all of course I do absolutely I do um but I think over the years we've become locked and we've completely lost what it's about and I got to the point where I said you know if a Christian is only a Christian on Christmas and Easter is he really even a Christian and uh and then you know all the other stuff i read too much i used to read a lot study too much and knowledge is a burden and a lot of our Christmas traditions I studied out where they came from and where they actually
began which was long before um what we recognize today and I'm like you know what i don't I don't really want to carry on that and so but my point is not that you shouldn't do it my point is this is me and although I'm in a culture and in a society where everybody's doing it I don't do it i'm perfectly fine with everybody else doing it but I'm just not comfortable with it i'm me i haven't had a Christmas tree in 20 years and my cigar went out um so you just be confident in
you when when my wife and I we go when we go out we go shopping i try not to Great which means I'll follow her through the groceries i'll follow her through the vegetable aisle and I'll follow her through all that because um if we separate invariably with my bad knee I'm limping all over the store trying to find her uh and uh but sometimes we get separated and she comes looking for me and she never has any trouble finding me cuz I kind of stand out all right i kind of stand out um I
uh I don't look like the sheep all right i'm me i want to wear an old black felt hat i do i want a beard on our mind something on our heart we share it with you uh calm and easy we am now buying all my online cigars so often and and uh so they're like we we you can't be doing that so the rollers my understanding is the rollers came up with this blend to mimic the lier pada with more flavor it is uh a definite step down just one step down as far as
the strength it's not as strong as the League of Provata number nine uh but it's a really good cigar okay and so I want to circumstances [Music] this is Elemental boom for [Music] sure sure
