4:14
So man, I tell you, there's just today was an interesting day,
4:19
Needless to say. And I think we should just jump
4:23
right off the bat and get in, get into this thing.
4:28
We got us a drone update finally, finally after what I
4:33
mean, it was a little bit wasn't it in December, like at the
4:36
beginning of December, It was before Christmas or week or two
4:40
before Christmas, all those drones in New Jersey.
4:42
And then what happened? It just people quit talking
4:45
about. But what a wild week we had
4:47
Bowser come on to the show and go over drones and more alien
4:52
stuff. All of that.
4:54
And I'll be Dang if and we didn't finally get an answer
4:59
today. Now I want to know what you guys
5:01
think with this answer. Let's see what came from the
5:06
White House. And before I turn to questions,
5:10
I do have news directly from the President of the United States
5:13
that was just shared with me in the Oval Office from President
5:17
Trump directly. An update on the New Jersey
5:20
drones after research and study. The drones that were flying over
5:24
New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the
5:28
FAA for research and various other reasons.
5:33
Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and
5:36
private individuals that enjoy flying Jones.
5:40
In meantime, in the in time it got worse due to curiosity.
5:44
This was not the enemy. All right, all right.
5:47
And there is Jr. the handler. Sorry, brother, I couldn't see
5:51
you. I had it had you had that part
5:53
on my screen covered up. All good buddy.
5:55
Yeah, man, and I've lost you. I get in your keyboard.
5:59
There you are. No worries, No worries.
6:03
What's up? What's up?
6:04
Oh man, sorry I'm late guys. I was what's up Big EI was
6:07
hanging in chat, hanging in the studio.
6:13
I just wanted, I just was glad to jump in man.
6:16
I know we recorded some podcast yesterday and I just got, well,
6:19
you know, as usual, was not trying to be working near as
6:22
much as I have been the last this last couple weeks.
6:26
I've got shows on the road this weekend.
6:27
I was supposed to be on vacation in, but you know, or relaxing,
6:30
whatever you want to call. You're supposed to be relaxing
6:33
for the last two months, Jr. Like this is your time to wind
6:36
down a little and do some honeydews and all.
6:39
You've just been swamped. Like just yeah, I, I bet you're
6:45
ready to just get on the damn Rd.
6:48
I really am ready to get on the road so I get some rest.
6:51
It's crazy. And I know that ain't good rest
6:53
because I've watched you operate.
6:55
That ain't good rest. And sleeping on the bus and
6:58
flying on an airplane, I'm not looking forward to that part,
7:01
but at least I I can't, I can't do anything else If I'm there,
7:04
at least I have to concentrate on that.
7:06
And I got to get caught up on some work there with getting
7:10
ready for the tour this year. I mean, I've done a lot of it,
7:13
but I've still got a bunch to do.
7:14
What's up, Thomas? What's up, Paul Rogers, my man.
7:20
Big E What's up, brother? Yeah, me and Paul Rogers been on
7:23
this podcast journey for a long time.
7:26
What's up T Wayne, my man? Yes, Sir, Yes, Sir.
7:29
Big E just ordered one of those fantastic $20 Tigs bits hats.
7:36
And thank you for that, man. Appreciate it.
7:40
That's OK. It's a good place for it.
7:42
You got to have one. I'm going to order one too.
7:44
Hell, I know he'll send me one, but I don't mind buying my own.
7:47
Yeah, especially if it's on sale.
7:49
Yeah, I need a fresh one while they're on sale too.
7:51
I'm going to. I'm going to get a different
7:52
color or something maybe. Yeah.
7:55
So. But anyway, enough about me.
7:57
Yeah, been busy, but glad to be back here.
7:59
And Tigs bits land with all the Tigs wigs.
8:03
Love what you you and Blasey have been doing without me.
8:05
And, and, and thanks for all the kind words.
8:07
Everybody who's been chiming in on different stuff that we've
8:09
been pumping out this content. It's just rock'n'roll in 2025
8:13
getting off to a solid start. And with President Trump in
8:17
office, you know, it's going to be no, no, no lack of headlines
8:21
and conversation for us knuckleheads.
8:24
So, so press secretary, I haven't, I've been too busy to
8:27
even watch any news. I've been getting a few updates
8:29
here and there. I hadn't listened to any outside
8:31
podcast, hadn't done anything but work.
8:34
If if it was podcast, it was just my morning today, an
8:38
Alabama podcast and a few and you know, a little Joe Rogan
8:41
sprinkled in here and there. But nothing like I'm, I'm going
8:43
to do when I'm on the road because I can listen to my
8:45
headphones while I'm driving to or listen to the radio while I'm
8:48
driving to the airport the whole time at the airport.
8:50
I'll have my earpiece in getting caught up.
8:52
But I'm kind of like a, you know, a fresh fawn here.
8:56
I I have an experience. That's what I love about it.
8:58
And I've got stuff and, and as you know, on on Tigs tonight, we
9:02
kind of go rapid fire. So I watched some last night and
9:06
I loved it. Yeah, I went back because I
9:08
caught the tail in and rewound about halfway through to get
9:10
caught up and like crap. I should have but I I was at
9:13
Home Depot 15 minutes after 8 and they closed at 8:00.
9:17
I understand, I understand what is going on.
9:19
Shannon says hello, what's happening?
9:22
Amber Rucker says hello. What is up Amber?
9:26
Amber is helping me. So ladies out there, listen to
9:29
this. We will have some sweatpants,
9:32
ladies. Sweatpants designed by Amber
9:36
herself. She's giving me some ideas.
9:38
Some black and white sweatpants are Gray, black and Gray tigs,
9:42
bits down the leg, tigs and bits on the back.
9:46
It's going to be fun. Hey Al, we're going to possibly
9:50
have those coming out soon. So thank you, Amber, for the
9:53
idea. And as I told you, I will be
9:55
sending you those drawings. So I need those lady approved.
9:59
I certainly do not know what to do.
10:02
I do know how to design it and stuff, but I need, I need
10:05
approval from a lady before this goes out.
10:07
So she's going to help us. She's going to help us.
10:10
But all right, some news. So what do you think about #1
10:14
Jr. you had just heard that, the drones, What do you think about
10:18
that whole situation? We've only had a month and 1/2
10:22
for that to be answered, and all they had to do was just say
10:25
that. But that ain't all there is to
10:27
it. There's no way.
10:29
I will give you quick responses because I know we go, we got to
10:31
and I can get long winded. I know it.
10:33
My wife tells me every day, but I'm just going to go with Kaka
10:37
is what I think about that. Response Kaka Yeah, I agree
10:40
totally. There's a.
10:42
There's more to it for sure. Yeah, we're not.
10:46
We're not. We're not running FFA
10:48
authorized, you know, surveys or studies or whatever we're trying
10:53
to accomplish along with civilian interference inside of
10:56
that. You're not that the two things
10:58
don't go together. You can't have regulated things
11:01
we're running and then just civilians blended in there with
11:03
it. There's no way we would ever
11:04
allow anything like that, so I'm calling Kakao on the whole
11:07
thing. 100%. You know what I'm saying?
11:10
I mean, we wouldn't have both if we were running some kind of
11:12
operation, we would have the airspace cleared.
11:14
You couldn't just, I couldn't me and you couldn't run our Tigs
11:16
bits drone up amongst all of the government drones that they'd
11:19
never let us do that. No, no.
11:22
And I know a lot of people did and, and well, and if they're
11:25
saying that some of these spottings that other people saw
11:28
other places were now, I wouldn't doubt that.
11:30
I wouldn't doubt people were droning up trying to make their
11:32
own crops or crop circles. But I think the Jersey Shore
11:36
thing, the thing we saw over there with a bunch that was not
11:41
civilian stuff. I think that was, I don't know,
11:43
I hope it was us, but I think that was some sort of military
11:47
or strategic propulsion system testing, some kind of something
11:52
that we were testing that would. There's no way.
11:54
I hope it was friendly, but there's no way that was just
11:56
random. Yeah, there was no way that was
11:58
just random. You know, we were, we were
12:01
looking for some starfish in the middle of the night and we
12:03
needed thirty. You know, we needed three drones
12:06
to do it. I just don't buy it.
12:09
I'm not. I ain't buying it either.
12:11
I ain't buying it either. Ladies and gentlemen, John
12:13
Costco. Oh, man.
12:18
It's here. What is up, John?
12:21
Good to see you, man. Good to see you.
12:23
It's more news that came out yesterday.
12:25
There was a trailer. I saw it.
12:28
I can't wait to see it. Days of Thunder, too.
12:32
Interesting. Yeah, there's a new Days of
12:35
Thunder. I'd play it on here, but the
12:37
last time I did that, I copy strike.
12:39
So I I can't do that. Is it?
12:42
I wonder if it's record? I wonder if they filmed it
12:43
already or is it's a going into? Their it looks done, the
12:47
preview, the preview looks like it's done.
12:49
I think they're just, you know, cleaning it up and doing what
12:52
they do with it. But God.
12:54
Because if they haven't, I need casting directors out there.
12:57
Holler at my boy Hut Strickland. He would be fantastic at any
13:00
role in the Days of Thunder too. The former race NASCAR driver.
13:05
Yeah, my buddy Hut Strickland, he lives down here in Orange
13:08
Beach now. He he he would be perfect for
13:11
any role in there. Yeah, he was the he he was the
13:14
last of the Alabama gang. He was NASCAR driver.
13:16
Yeah. Oh, I know.
13:17
I know exactly who. Yes.
13:19
Yeah. I love that he moved down here.
13:21
Yeah, he moved down here from from North Carolina and he
13:25
stills got the look. He's got the hair, the no
13:27
sideburns, though. He looks like he could be a crew
13:29
chief guy in this movie. He could be the new oh gosh, how
13:36
am I losing thoughts here? Robert Duvall.
13:40
OK, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:42
And I need to watch Days of Thunder again.
13:44
It's been a minute. It's probably been 10 or 15
13:47
years since I've seen it, but I've seen it several.
13:50
Times. It's one of those ones, like a
13:53
lot of movies from that era, that just holds up.
13:55
It just holds up. It just holds up.
13:58
It's like. Any given Sunday, you know,
14:01
there's a few through sprinkled out there that that are that
14:04
were for that error. And I would even go so much as
14:07
maybe Rocky as well. Rocky just kept reinventing
14:09
itself, but it always stayed relevant with men.
14:11
You could almost see that happening in pro real pros.
14:14
You know, the days of Thunder was just spot on and Tom Cruise
14:17
killed it. Robert Duvall is one of my
14:19
favorites all time. Yeah.
14:22
The sparkle in the house, Georgiana by God.
14:25
And but just a fantastic, fantastic movie.
14:29
Go back and watch it. You'll have some.
14:30
You'll have some giggles, some outright just literally laugh
14:35
out loud moments, Tig that you forgot you had watched it the
14:37
first time and is the and is us being middle age now watching it
14:41
as a little bit perspective as us as young adults because just
14:44
the relevance thing so. It'll be a good one, good one to
14:48
watch with Riley. I know, I know he hasn't.
14:50
I know he hasn't seen that one. So.
14:52
He'll and he'll dig it too, because I mean, there's no TNA,
14:54
but there's just enough allusion to that.
14:57
It's still, it still turns it on for a young man.
15:00
Hey, Speaking of remakes, I saw it spread through one of our
15:04
fraternity text threads there, The never Ending Story.
15:08
Are they making a never Ending Story remake or sequel to Saw A?
15:13
Picture of that. Yeah.
15:14
Yeah, I did too. I did too.
15:17
It's that time. It's been 20-30 years.
15:20
It's time to they've. Always done it, ever since the
15:22
first round of good ones. We kind of.
15:24
And and because there's only, it's just like songs and
15:26
everything, because there's only so many ideas, there's only so
15:28
many notes. I mean, you're gonna have to do
15:30
some variation of stuff, you know, and you remake the
15:33
mechanic again and again. Was as good as Charles Bronson?
15:35
No, but I mean, if there'll be another one in 25 years and they
15:38
won't think it's as good, but new kids will love it, you know?
15:42
Exactly, exactly. Don't have a bullhorn.
15:46
A handy John Casteca with 50 on the Venmo, 50 on the Venmo from
15:53
Blasi, the one man posse. Even though he's not in here,
15:56
he's out on the streets of Dallas pounding the pavements,
15:59
eating steaks. He's still with us behind the
16:03
scenes. Thank you, John Casteca and
16:08
Koseka says that Bubba gave us a compliment on how we deliver a
16:12
fit, deliver a finished podcast to Seth Money.
16:16
He loves that. Excellent.
16:18
I love hearing that, John. You know that.
16:20
You know that. I love it.
16:22
I love it. That is awesome news.
16:25
Yeah. Big.
16:25
East, thanks for the inside. Anything like that, it's always.
16:28
Good to know. It is they eat.
16:30
Steaks and pumping weights. Yeah, that's exactly what he's.
16:33
Doing He's eating steaks and doing his hands like this.
16:37
Yeah, yeah, I tell you what I've noticed.
16:39
He's driving a golf ball. I've noticed when I've done a
16:42
lot of these tigs tonight by myself, I am a fidgeter with my
16:46
hands. Whenever I have y'all to talk
16:48
to, I still fidget but y'all be talking for a second I'll fidget
16:52
and get a sip or something. I'm a fidgeter.
16:55
Y'all are all going to notice now that I never can quit moving
16:58
my damn hands. Never had been able to.
17:00
Who cares? Hey, go before we go.
17:02
Hey, before we go on any farther, I got to go back to
17:04
this press secretary. What was it about?
17:05
What's the feel on her? You watched enough of her
17:07
delivery yet? That's the only thing I've seen.
17:11
Off of that, she had a couple words stumble almost feel like
17:14
word fumbles almost. And I'm like, she has.
17:18
She's got big shoes to fill in with the the bar was set really
17:22
high with Miss Miss Sarah Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
17:25
For sure. And the the lady, Kellyanne
17:28
Conway? No, no, no.
17:31
What was her? Name.
17:34
I can't mcaleny or something, I can't remember.
17:37
I can't remember. Yeah, so the bar's been very
17:39
high, very tough. Yeah, well, that's.
17:41
What you got to be, you got to be a bulldog in there because I
17:43
mean, they, they're going to, they're going to left and right.
17:44
You. But Paul, I didn't see enough.
17:48
OK, good. I didn't.
17:48
I didn't see enough to be able to tell you.
17:51
But I will, Kaylee. I can't say that's what I say.
17:58
Say I cannot pronounce last names.
18:00
I live in a state where it's impossible, especially or
18:05
something like that. Yeah, it's something like that
18:07
for sure. But yeah.
18:10
Good, Paul gives the thumbs up. That's AI mean.
18:13
I know he. That's a vote of.
18:14
Confidence straight. Yeah, I would, I would trust
18:16
Paul's judgement on that. So I'm, I'm OK.
18:18
Good to know. Yeah.
18:20
Yeah, I want to. I want to watch, I want to, I
18:22
want to watch that whole replay again at some point, this UFO
18:25
thing. But I'm sure we'll get another
18:26
spin on it in a day or two. Yeah, I mean, I, I, my friends
18:31
that were in Group text seem to be impressed with her.
18:34
I don't know if it was her looks or what she was doing, probably
18:36
both, but that was my first impression.
18:40
Did she did stumble a couple of things which makes me not
18:43
believe what they're telling me. Don't help me either.
18:48
It didn't take but a week for me to be like, yeah, they ain't
18:52
telling the truth, you know they're not anyhow.
18:56
Anyhow, speaking. Would they would they tell us
18:58
they're they're from another country and they're potentially
19:01
spying on us? No.
19:02
Would not right out of the gate in the in week 1.
19:05
No way. No way, man, not to bring this
19:08
down, but it is a huge day today.
19:11
Today's the 39th anniversary of the space shuttle blowing up.
19:16
And whenever they had Krista McAuliffe, the teacher, that was
19:20
to go into space. And do you remember where you
19:25
were at, or do you remember that at all?
19:27
I know that you're a little younger than me, but I was
19:30
pretty young when it happened. I was in school.
19:32
Yeah, I was in. I was in elementary school.
19:34
Yeah. We watched it on TV all in
19:36
kindergarten. Yeah.
19:37
One of the little carts with the TV on it.
19:39
I remember. I remember that.
19:41
Yeah. When you know the little cart
19:43
with the black I mean old school.
19:44
Oh yeah, where they? Wheel it in.
19:45
Wheel it in, yeah. Oh yeah, they had the VCR under
19:48
it are beta Max. Yeah, sometimes the beta Max.
19:51
Maybe not even both. Yeah, I'm not sure how we even
19:54
got it, be honest. I'm sure on some rabbit ears
19:56
only neglectic Alabama, I'm sure we didn't even have VCR yet.
19:59
It was rabbit ears and. Oh yeah, it was rabbit ears.
20:01
But but yeah, I would have had to been kindergarten, first
20:04
grade. Yeah, well, I was in Montgomery,
20:07
so we might have had. Now thinking about that.
20:08
I did kindergarten, first grade, 2nd grade in Montgomery.
20:10
So we probably had a little better things there, a little
20:14
more going around 1st grade watching live.
20:16
So if Sparky was in first grade, I was in kindergarten then, but
20:19
I did first grade twice now. So I don't know.
20:21
This is debatable. I might have still been in first
20:23
grade. TT Wayne Elton Smith class on a
20:28
big TV stand. We both went to flooring
20:31
flooring elementary high school. It's all one school K through
20:34
12:00. I definitely remember it.
20:36
I was in the second grade in Mona Sandals class Terry, and I
20:42
remember that. But then I saw her at the Free
20:45
State Festival in November. I always see her whenever I go
20:48
to fluorine. And she was telling me and Riley
20:52
and and and the fam the that about that day and how I was
20:59
kind of obsessed with it to begin with.
21:02
I was always, I've always loved space and all of that stuff.
21:06
Just I've been obsessed with it my whole life.
21:09
And I love the space shuttle. I had little replicas of it and
21:12
all of that. I knew a teacher was going into
21:14
space. We were all watching it.
21:16
They were going to have it in the classroom.
21:18
But when it blew up, some of the teachers, you know, turned it
21:23
off and all of that. I was apparently, I don't
21:26
remember this, but apparently was insistent that we keep
21:30
watching. I wanted to know more.
21:33
I wanted to know what happened. I needed wanted to know more.
21:36
Miss Sandal says that she went to Larry Miller, our principal
21:40
and my son's middle name. He's named after Larry Miller,
21:44
one of the greatest men to ever walk the face of the earth.
21:47
And he died. I'm older than he was when he
21:50
died. I think he was 42 or 43.
21:53
Crazy deal. Terrible.
21:55
But Riley's named after him. She goes to him.
21:58
Tough man. He'd scare you, right, Terry?
22:02
He'd scare the Dickens out of you.
22:04
Didn't want to mess with him. You could smell him a mile away.
22:06
Smelled like Stetson. Smelled good.
22:09
He and my dad look a lot alike, so I was automatically fearful
22:13
of them. They have that look of like
22:15
they'll whip your ass and they both will.
22:18
So, you know, you didn't mess with Both of them were
22:20
principals. Anyhow, she goes to him and and
22:25
ask, can I show this? Like Brantley is in and he
22:28
really wants to see it and kind of the class wants to see it
22:31
too. And he said, yeah.
22:33
So I and I remember going, I remember going home and
22:37
continuing to watch it over at my granny and granddaddy's and
22:40
just that was really that's the first big news event that I ever
22:44
remember in my life. I know other things that
22:47
happened, but that's the first that right, I can like, Oh yeah,
22:51
I remember. You remember watching?
22:53
The ticker, them discussing, breaking down what they thought
22:55
and the analysis and everything and the the talking to the
22:58
family and all of that stuff. Yeah, Kusteka.
23:05
He was in college. I didn't think you were that
23:07
old, Kuseka. You mean you're not old?
23:10
That's not old. He's a man.
23:11
He's a man of mystery who knows he could.
23:13
He is a man of. Mystery he is.
23:14
A man of mystery. Could be a work.
23:16
He really is. Yeah.
23:17
Paul the Challenger. He wasn't.
23:19
He wasn't born now. I know you.
23:21
You you missed out on that one. You cried like the rest of the
23:25
other. Paul.
23:26
It was brutal, buddy. They had LED because we have
23:28
been taught, we have been, we have been watching things about
23:30
it. They had LED up to all the
23:32
school stuff because she was a teacher.
23:33
I mean, it was a huge build up for the for element for school
23:36
children and with the NASA that interacted with education
23:40
department and you know, we watching films and I mean they
23:44
were on Johnny Carson and the whole deal, you know, and then
23:47
it went down. Yep, Yep, all the comments,
23:51
everybody remembers it, remembers where they were at for
23:55
the most part, my sister Mandy says.
23:58
Also obsessed with the weather. Yes, I am very obsessed with the
24:01
weather. Always, no doubt about.
24:03
Planes, I guess jets too. I like to, I mean, you know, out
24:06
of space. I just like flying things.
24:07
Always thought it was cool flying stuff, you know?
24:09
Yeah, I'm all I'm down with airplanes for sure.
24:12
For sure. Another thing that came out
24:16
today, the Doomsday Clock. Are you familiar with the
24:20
Doomsday Clock Jr. Yeah, I've heard.
24:23
I'm not as. Yeah, I'm aware.
24:25
Yeah. Well, this is any of you who are
24:27
not. I'm sure most in here are.
24:29
It goes up and down, right? It will go back and forth.
24:33
This is going to explain it. What is the Doomsday Clock?
24:38
The Doomsday Clock is a symbol that represents the likelihood
24:41
of a man made global catastrophe.
24:44
It was created in 1947 by Robert Oppenheimer, Albert Einstein and
24:50
Eugene Rabinowicz to warn humanity of the dangers of
24:54
nuclear war. But it's a metaphor, not a
24:57
prediction, for threats to humanity.
25:00
In January each year, the hands of the clock are moved closer or
25:04
further away from midnight based on scientists readings of
25:07
existential threats at a particular time.
25:10
Midnight marks a hypothetical global catastrophe, and the time
25:14
is set by members of the Bulletin of the Atomic
25:17
Scientists. They're a nonprofit organization
25:21
that study scientific and global security issues caused by
25:25
advances in technology that have negative consequences for
25:29
humanity. Since its creation, the Doomsday
25:32
Clock has been set backwards 8 times and forward 17 times.
25:37
The furthest the hands of the clock have ever been from
25:39
midnight was in 1991, when the US and Soviet Union signed the
25:45
Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. The closest they've ever been to
25:48
Katasta was in both January 2023 and 2024.
25:53
At just 90 seconds to 12:00 last year, the clock remains the
25:57
closest to midnight it has ever been for a second year in a row,
26:02
with scientists citing the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, nuclear
26:05
threats, failure to address the climate crisis and artificial
26:09
intelligence as reasons for their decision.
26:12
With the war in Ukraine continuing, the exchange of
26:15
hostages in the Middle East, and a new president in the US White
26:19
House this year, the world will be keenly waiting for the
26:22
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists 2025 decision.
26:28
There you go. Yeah.
26:30
So the decision is in and it has been moved to now the closest
26:36
that's ever been. It's at 89 seconds.
26:38
Oh, no. Yeah.
26:40
So it moved up a second. Not good.
26:44
Not good, Not a good thing. It's awfully close.
26:47
If 89 seconds away, we're a minute and a half away from less
26:53
than a minute and a half. That's a little.
26:55
That's a little scary. That's a little scary.
26:57
Go back to 91. How nice would it be if a move
27:02
if moving the hands on the clock once a year was your full time
27:05
job? That'd be fantastic.
27:07
I think you can handle that, yeah.
27:10
I'd still be late. That's fantastic.
27:14
That's hilarious. Yeah, that is.
27:19
What do you guys think? Do you think the Doomsday Clock
27:21
moving closer to midnight is an exaggeration or do you think
27:25
it's a wake up call? Nothing's going to change, but
27:30
it should be. We got it, I mean.
27:35
I don't. Know it's hard to say.
27:37
Drones. What are these drones?
27:38
Yeah, well, and then I didn't think about that either.
27:40
That, you know, one thing is, you know, wars and disease and
27:44
things like that famine. But the AI thing, the AI is
27:50
another wrinkle AI into the equation.
27:52
You're thinking, yeah, how about, you know, Terminator is
27:56
is definitely going to have to be factored in at this point.
27:59
100% like it. There's no way that we can avoid
28:03
it. I don't believe they already
28:04
have robots. They're already working.
28:06
You know, the military has robots that can shoot.
28:10
They have them. They've been, they've been
28:11
messing with that for years. They look just like the one they
28:15
look like. They look like the.
28:16
You know they do. First round of the ones that
28:19
come from Terminator. 100% probably Hollywood helped them
28:23
design some of them and vice versa back in the day life.
28:27
Yeah, it really happens sometimes that way.
28:28
It really does. Yes, for sure, for sure.
28:31
So I mean, yeah, we're in that. That I think is what's going to
28:36
be the problem. And then things can be hacked.
28:39
And then they are making the decisions using AI.
28:42
And as we've already seen, you know, you can AI is very good
28:46
and it's it's it's an amazing tool, but it can get skewed.
28:51
It can get on out there and start to start to, yeah, exactly
28:57
like the Chinese folks. I ain't giving them in no way
29:01
I'm giving them my information just voluntarily wait.
29:04
I do it already with TikTok but I'm not doing it with any other
29:07
apps. Right, that's it.
29:08
That's the only way. That's the only one they get.
29:11
Yeah. And I say I know we're going to,
29:13
we're going to. We've, we've, you know,
29:14
President Trump's committed a huge amount of money and
29:20
resources into trying to help us lead in the AI thing, which I
29:23
don't think it's a bad idea. I don't know if we've got that.
29:26
I know we don't have the money, but we definitely don't want to
29:28
be in the middle of the pack with this thing either.
29:32
Yeah, the very true, very, very. True.
29:36
We don't need China to be the number one in that, you know.
29:39
Cowboy diplomacy we're going back to it.
29:42
I I guarantee you we're going to go back to it, but you know, the
29:45
world seemed to be for the most part, I don't know if it really
29:50
you can't say it was a safer place.
29:52
That's not true. It's not true at all.
29:54
I. Was watching the thing earlier.
29:55
The average, the average age of a male in America in the early
30:00
60s was low 60s. So, you know, that's kind of the
30:05
thing we, we can live a lot longer now than we ever have
30:07
been able to in the history of mankind.
30:12
That is that. That's good.
30:14
That's good. It's interesting.
30:16
We'll say it's just a perspective. 1 You know, there's
30:21
something. Speaking of living longer and
30:23
healthier, there is something that is interesting happening in
30:26
Kansas. There's a tuberculosis outbreak.
30:29
Like we're in Red Dead Redemption 2 again or something.
30:33
Arthur is going to go down with the tuberculosis, and it's got
30:37
the cough. But seriously, like 67 people
30:41
have caught tuberculosis, 2 have died.
30:45
Oh no, I thought that was wiped out.
30:49
No joke, thought it was too. But it is.
30:52
It apparently is. And that's what got Doc, That's
30:55
what got Doc Holiday. I mean, that's what I mean, that
30:57
was a huge deal. Tuberculosis was huge for that
30:59
big period of time there. I mean, they were transforming
31:02
caves and they were trying to figure out any way they thought
31:04
people could get relief from it. Yes, yeah.
31:08
I mean, I it's, it's insane. It killed, it killed a lot of
31:13
people. I'm not laughing at it.
31:14
It was just a terrible deal. And I mean, you get a cough,
31:17
somebody coughed on you and there you have there is no way
31:21
to to to cure it. But it's a severe issue.
31:23
And hopefully it doesn't start to move on out.
31:27
That's just exactly what we need, a pandemic of
31:29
tuberculosis. But they do have vaccines.
31:32
I would think they could contain that, hopefully a little bit
31:36
better, but makes you start to think how does this kind of
31:39
stuff just start happening? Plant in the middle of the in
31:43
the middle of Kansas. Don't I?
31:45
Don't worry. We're about to have every
31:47
possible theory you could think of shot out up against it here.
31:51
Just a second. You know what I mean?
31:53
It won't take long, will it? Won't take long.
31:56
And then they'll be conspiracies about the conspiracies.
31:58
What? Who wants to get this jab?
32:00
Who wants to get that jab? That's right.
32:03
That's right. Yeah.
32:04
Hey, big dog. What's going on, Jeremy?
32:07
Brian loved, loved Tombstone, man.
32:09
Tombstone is is one of my it's one of that is Riley hadn't seen
32:13
that either. I don't know if he could sit
32:15
down. I think he he needs to.
32:17
He. I don't know.
32:18
It's nothing bad. It's not like it's bad.
32:20
No, and there's not. It's.
32:21
Not gory. It's not gory fight outs or
32:24
language or nudity and he should be good with it.
32:28
It's a little strong. He'll probably cry like we do
32:30
because when they get shot, only need one good arm to hold you.
32:36
I mean, Dang, Sam. I know, I know.
32:41
Well, Jr. that's really that's all I got tonight.
32:44
I've got a few other things, but I'm going to drop them tomorrow
32:47
night so we can kind of just there's nothing that nothing
32:50
that precedent. I've got a little show to build
32:52
tomorrow night. I've got a I'm going to show an
32:55
outtake tomorrow. So this will make y'all want to
32:59
tune in from the South Alabama game.
33:03
One of the interviews with some of the girls.
33:05
I never put it into anything and I was just kind of looking
33:08
through some of that stuff I don't like.
33:10
You know what, Tigs? Tonight will be a great place to
33:13
drop this little minute and a half video that makes no sense
33:16
anywhere else in the world. Just going to drop it in here so
33:19
y'all be looking forward to that.
33:23
What did say? What?
33:25
Yeah, I got to give a. Go ahead.
33:30
I don't. I don't know.
33:32
What the hell. Oh, great. 89.
33:34
I got you. I got you, Blasey.
33:37
Good to see Blasey in the chat. Blasey, the one man posse.
33:44
I'm looking at some questions here JJRI want us to end with.
33:48
Yeah, I want to. Can I?
33:49
I'll give my little deal while you're looking that up.
33:51
I got to do that things here. One I'm going to I'm on the road
33:54
this weekend. I'm going to Chicago on Friday
33:57
at Joe's Rosemont. Saturday going to be at the the
34:02
Rave in Milwaukee, which legendary hundred 200 year old
34:08
building. So I mean, it's haunted, it's
34:11
cool. It's one of the most unique
34:13
venues in the country to play and it's in Milwaukee.
34:16
The Rave will be there Saturday February 1st this weekend.
34:20
So anybody, bubble army, anybody at Tigs wigs in Chicago or
34:24
Milwaukee, holler at me. I'd love to come see you.
34:26
Let me know if you need some ticks or whatever.
34:28
I see what I can do. Also wanted to say we're going
34:32
to be not too far from you and I'm sure y'all going to have
34:35
stuff. We're going to be in Metairie on
34:37
February 22nd paying playing family GRAW there during Mardi
34:41
Gras. So I'm going to get to do a
34:43
little the festivities over there.
34:44
So if we've got any bubble army or Tigs wigs in the New Orleans
34:48
area, February 22nd going to be in in that area.
34:51
I'd love to see you hang out high 5 take a pic, all that fun
34:54
stuff. And lastly want to give a shout
34:57
out retiring was Mr. Lawson. He was the chief of police in
35:03
Gretna, LA for a long time. I think 50 years he was in the
35:06
service and his son Brett is now running for sheriff for chief of
35:11
police there. And that is my cousin in law.
35:13
He married my cousin Ruthie on my dad's side.
35:16
And so if we got anybody listening around there, vote for
35:19
Brett, give him a shout. That's Brett Lawson and Gretna,
35:22
give him a shout. Vote for him, politic for him.
35:24
He's a good guy. If you meet him, tell him you're
35:26
friends with his cousin Jr. We we met his wedding.
35:30
I'm sure he can't forget me. I don't talk too much.
35:35
I love my little cousin Ruthie. I don't talk to her enough
35:37
either. We we got to do better about
35:38
that. You know, it's it bummer when
35:40
family, you know, we don't you let life, you know, so tight
35:44
when you're kids, you know, and then you grow up.
35:45
You're like, oh, and then you just and then here goes a couple
35:47
years ago by you're like, we got to do better.
35:49
But so anyway, I want to give a shout out to Brett and Ruthie.
35:51
I hope Brett has a good campaign and gets it.
35:53
I know his he's proud of his dad and his dad's proud of him, and
35:57
all us are too. I love it.
35:59
I love it. My sister says that our great
36:02
grandmother, my mama's mother, died from tuberculosis in the
36:05
late 60s. There you go.
36:08
I don't think I ever knew. I didn't know that.
36:11
Learning stuff on the show from my sister virtually, they're
36:15
all. Isn't that crazy?
36:16
You know? I'm sure that I did know that at
36:18
some point, but I certainly don't remember it.
36:21
Certainly don't remember it, Brian says.
36:23
Thank you for your service, Mr. Lawson, for sure.
36:27
And T Wayne says they test for TB to work in a school board as
36:31
well. I believe that.
36:33
I believe that. And Big E says that they got to
36:36
get you to the Carolinas. Hey I saw you say that biggie
36:39
and actually I don't know where where exactly you're I think
36:41
y'all are in the Charlotte area but we're going to be in
36:43
Wilmington, NC play the North Carolina Azalea festival on
36:47
April 3rd. I was trying to see if anywhere
36:52
coming up the next couple months if anybody's in any of these
36:54
areas give me a shout. Hit us up on socials I'd love to
36:57
holler at you when we're in the town.

Kentucky, Florence, AZ April 11th, California, Hiawassee, GA
37:29
April 25th Going to play Talladega on the 26th of April
37:34
so if anybody's in any of those areas hit me up.
37:36
Love to see y'all. Talladega, is that going to be?
37:39
That's in April, That's probably somewhere around the race.
37:42
It's the night before the race. We're playing in the infield.
37:45
We're playing the infield night before the race.
37:47
Oh yeah, full circle moment for me buddy.
37:51
I love that. Oh yeah, dude, you're going to
37:53
have good time with that. That's probably the one that
37:55
Blacy and I need to try to slip off and come to.
37:58
Dude, come on. Yeah.
37:59
Only thing bummer about there. It's hard.
38:01
It's hard to get rooms. There's nothing close.
38:03
You know, Daga's kind of out there.
38:04
It's not, you know, that is. True, if I go to Daga I I just
38:08
sleep in a damn tent. That's what, yeah, that's what
38:10
we used to do. Yeah.
38:11
Blacy's got a nice company vehicle.
38:13
Y'all just sleep in it. Yeah, there you go.
38:15
You get it. You get it.
38:16
Paid for clean cleaning. Paid for this company card.
38:20
That's exactly right. That's exactly right.
38:22
All right. One quick question for
38:26
everybody, including you Jr. Would you rather time travel to
38:32
the past or to the future? I know that's kind of a tough
38:42
one. I don't think that I said that
38:43
in our trivia, that one where we did those as some of these I
38:47
still have listed. I don't think we, I don't think
38:49
I asked that one cuz man, you can do so much damage if you
38:54
went to the future. If you come back, I'm assuming
38:58
the in this scenario, you can come back.
39:01
Maybe you can't if you can't go back.
39:04
Would if you couldn't. I'm going back.
39:06
Go back, but you stayed the same age.
39:08
Would you go forward or go backwards?
39:12
I don't. Know navigate.
39:14
I go back. I go back.
39:15
You got to go backwards because I can navigate backwards.
39:18
You'd just be lost forward you. Wouldn't know what to do.
39:22
Yeah, you'd have to learn everything for me too.
39:25
If we depend on what you, what you had to do depend on what
39:27
supplies you have when you got there.
39:28
If you just show up naked being you got to find clothes, you got
39:31
to find provisions and it what if you pop in the future?
39:35
There's nothing there. Depends on how far you go
39:36
forward. That's true.
39:39
You pop up for one second, you're on a piece of rock
39:41
hurling through the universe and you're like, oh, I have no air
39:44
gone. John Casteca the past because he
39:48
loves history. Past also because if you go, you
39:51
could, and if you knew if you could remember anything.
39:54
Yeah, good one Spark influenced the future for sure.
39:57
Give somebody a heads up. Also, you could set your family
40:00
up because you could go back in the past and like Biff did, put
40:03
your couple bets in on a couple of games or horse riders, you
40:07
know, Stash it under an alias for your family and make sure
40:09
everybody's good. Like Eddie Money said, I want to
40:12
go back, go back. I love it.
40:15
Like Eddie Murphy said, my baby likes to party all the time.
40:19
Party all the time. I watched.
40:23
Hey, something cool to watch. If anybody can find it, it was
40:25
on last night. It was Saturday Night Live's 50
40:28
years tribute to music. It was all their musical guests
40:31
and things they had all the whole entire time.
40:33
Oh yeah. Fascinating.
40:35
I didn't even know half the stuff.
40:37
Wow, Yeah, I'm going to check that.
40:39
Where, Where was it? Where?
40:41
It was on Reg. It was on NBC last night.
40:43
OK, I guess it was Saturday night before Saturday night.
40:45
Live, I bet it's on Peacock. I bet you can go and watch it.
40:47
There's so much stuff. Like I was saying last night,
40:49
the 50th anniversary coming up, they have a podcast right now
40:55
that is going behind each season.
40:57
It's on YouTube. It's amazing as well.
41:00
Like all the history. They're really doing the 50, the
41:03
50th they're. Bloated up for the 50 Yeah, this
41:06
one. They were playing like they were
41:08
playing like the backstage audio when like Rage Against Machine
41:10
was trying to put their upside down American flags because they
41:13
were there the same time Steve Forbes was hosting.
41:16
And they were like, who booked this?
41:17
You know, we're the anti establishment and this guy's
41:19
Steve Forbes and ran for president, one of the richest
41:23
guys ever, you know, And so they try to put it.
41:25
So they got the audio of them like right before the commercial
41:27
breaks over trying to put their flags up and their roadies
41:30
wrestling with the union laborers from Saturday Night
41:33
Live trying to get the flags off like right before it started.
41:36
Anyway, it was really cool, really cool.
41:38
And I didn't know Blondie was the ones that brought the what
41:43
was the fabulous Freaky 4 or the OR whatever it was the the first
41:47
rap group that ever fab Freddy or no no, this was.
41:50
No, that's what she says in that song.
41:53
But this, this was, yeah, the the four and plus one is 4 + 1.
41:57
Whatever it was, they were the first rapper rap that was ever,
42:00
that was the first DJ ever shown on ATV screen, any of that.
42:03
And Blondie brought them on because they used to come and do
42:05
their act at the club. She used to play around New York
42:07
and they go all into it. They don't just glance over.
42:10
They do. They do a deep dive.
42:12
Yeah, on about. Yeah, it's, it was, I'm telling
42:14
you it was fascinating. Fascinating.
42:17
Yeah, I'm going to definitely check that out.
42:19
And like I said, if you haven't seen the Saturday night movie on
42:22
Netflix, def you'll enjoy it. That's you'll love it.
42:25
Jr. It's good.
42:27
It's real good. It's crazy how good the the guy
42:30
is. It plays Belushi, Chevy Chase.
42:33
It's I mean that dude. So they're all so spot on.
42:37
Dan Aykroyd, all of them. I mean, they really, really,
42:40
they really, really did it. Fab 5.
42:43
Freddie wrote the rap in Rapture.
42:45
OK, OK. Yeah, that's where I got it
42:47
confused on that. I know that he was in Rapture.
42:50
Yeah, that's right. My sister says that it's a tough
42:53
issue. Would not go back to high
42:54
school. I get it.
42:56
I would. I would go back to high school
42:58
and I might not ever leave, is what I'd probably do.
43:04
I'd tell, I'd go back. I'd go back and tell myself to
43:06
knock it off. But.
43:10
Go back about middle school and say just stop now.
43:12
Just stop. Everything you're doing stop.
43:14
And hey, you have peaked. Don't worry.
43:17
The day you you did, you peaked. Just stay here.
43:22
You're good. All righty man Jr.
43:24
I am glad to get to see you tonight.
43:26
Yeah. You too, brother.
43:28
Yes, Sir, yes Sir. We'll do it again tomorrow
43:31
night, same time, same place. Hopefully Jr. or Blasey can jump
43:36
in as well and then until then you have a good night as well
43:42
Mr. Casteca. Everybody have a great night and
43:46
we will see y'all tomorrow.
