Latest / Johnny's World / Episode 17-Season 1 Recap and Lee Penton
Transcript
- 0:26SPEAKER_00: All right, everybody, welcome back in.
- 0:29SPEAKER_00: We're live with the Johnny's World Podcast.
- 0:32SPEAKER_00: Um, we got kind of a special episode today.
- 0:35SPEAKER_00: We are actually celebrating the end of our first season recording here.
- 0:40SPEAKER_00: So this is technically episode 17.
- 0:43SPEAKER_00: And if you would have told me we were going to do 17 episodes when we started this, I would I wouldn't know.
- 0:48SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I would have believed you or not.
- 0:50SPEAKER_00: So, but um anyways, this is BW.
- 0:52SPEAKER_00: We got Johnny here with us.
- 0:53SPEAKER_00: You doing all right today, Johnny?
- 0:55SPEAKER_02: I'm doing fine, doing fine.
- 0:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah, man.
- 0:58SPEAKER_00: So so 17 episodes in, you know, we kind of started just you and I, and I know we wanted to talk to, you know, talk about some little towns in Mississippi and you know, have some friends on and just kind of have it be kind of a laid back thing.
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: And all of a sudden, I mean you started reaching out to all these people and and we started getting all these guests, and it's like all of a sudden this turns into like a real deal, like professional show.
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: It's kind of crazy.
- 1:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's really really cool how that came to be because, like you said, if you go back and listen to the first few episodes, it's just me and you just BSing with each other, telling funny stories and all that sort of stuff.
- 1:37SPEAKER_02: And then all of a sudden, we're we came up with the idea.
- 1:39SPEAKER_02: We're like, you know, the reason why we started this podcast podcast to begin with is to you know kind of talk about the the glasses venture you got going on and and promote awareness for 65 brosis and stuff, and so that kind of is how we started to begin with, and then we just kind of are thinking of a way, you know, how can we promote this and get it out there, and then and then I just we just started asking some people that I knew and friends of ours, and um people started agreeing doing it, and it kind of took off, became a life of its own, and it it really has been fun.
- 2:12SPEAKER_02: We've we've got to hear from a lot of well-respected people, not only in Mississippi, but throughout the world, you know, and uh and hear really cool stories, and uh, and then hopefully, I mean, obviously, from all the people that have been tuning in and listening, you know, that's been really cool because we know that they're listening and hearing not only good stories, but also hearing about what we've got going on with the glasses and about cystic fibrosis.
- 2:37SPEAKER_02: So it's been kind of a win-win deal.
- 2:38SPEAKER_02: It's really been something to look forward to every week.
- 2:41SPEAKER_00: I know it's it's crazy.
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: And then I mean, just thinking, I mean, I had no idea I would ever talk to Coach Jackie Cheryl or uh, you know, in college, like Shane Powers, you're watching him play basketball, and I never thought I'd actually talk to him, you know, and um even just for like a podcast.
- 2:59SPEAKER_00: So it's been really cool, and and it's it says a lot for for all those people um to agree to come on, and you know, and and none of them acted like it was an inconvenience to them.
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: They would have talked to us as long as we wanted to talk to them.
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: And I mean, they're all just really, really great people, and as you know, high up as they are, they still all were really great people.
- 3:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's it's really cool to see people who are who are that high up there in the public, you know, where everybody knows them, they're well known, and they're just down down to earth, laid-back people who would give you the shirts off their back.
- 3:36SPEAKER_02: And that's really cool.
- 3:37SPEAKER_02: It says a lot about the people that we've had on the show.
- 3:40SPEAKER_02: And and like you said, none of them, not a single person of any of these people that we've interviewed had never said, Oh, I can't do it, I'm backing out, let's do it.
- 3:48SPEAKER_02: They were all like, You tell me when, where I'll be there, and and uh it's just been awesome.
- 3:53SPEAKER_02: So many, so many cool stories and connections, and and a lot of people that I've known since I was little that that you might not have known that I knew them, now you know them, and and uh really cool, uh cool stories.
- 4:04SPEAKER_02: It's just kind of feel like we've uh we kind of came full circle with the interviews, and I think uh according to our stats and everything, people really, really kind of enjoyed uh missed out all around the United States, matter of fact, all around the entire world.
- 4:24SPEAKER_02: So it's really really really cool.
- 4:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah, did you uh I'm gonna go over some stats here in a minute.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: Um, I've got them got them pulled up here, but did you have a special uh you know one uh story that you you enjoyed hearing or something you didn't know about or anybody that that just really stood out to you?
- 4:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah, my you know, I I've always heard the the bull story with uh with Coach Cheryl.
- 4:49SPEAKER_02: Uh we all we've all heard that.
- 4:51SPEAKER_02: But the cool thing about hitting hitting that up is when we had Coach Cheryl and then we had Strat on there, we got to hear the same story from from two different perspectives.
- 4:59SPEAKER_02: So I thought that was really cool.
- 5:00SPEAKER_02: And a lot of people on the listeners out there, most of the people have heard the story from Coach Cheryl's perspective, but we did not, they didn't know about the the fact about Strat and him using that knife, that he still has that same knife today that he did that, that they did that with.
- 5:15SPEAKER_02: So that was really cool getting to hear that.
- 5:17SPEAKER_02: And then uh I think and hearing about coach uh in the uh in the clown outfit in the in the bus.
- 5:23SPEAKER_02: And Strat was like, Coach, coach, and he's just not he was he's not talking to him.
- 5:27SPEAKER_02: He's like, Man, did I make coach mad?
- 5:29SPEAKER_02: What's going on?
- 5:30SPEAKER_02: And he got back up to the room and he called him and and Strat was like, Coach, are you mad at me?
- 5:35SPEAKER_02: He goes, No, Strat, why?
- 5:36SPEAKER_02: He's like, Well, you weren't talking to me in the bus.
- 5:38SPEAKER_02: And Coach said, Well, clowns don't talk.
- 5:41SPEAKER_02: I thought that was great.
- 5:43SPEAKER_02: And then I really enjoyed the uh the Sid Salter one when he said uh Jack Crystal, that woman came up to Jack Crystal and was asking uh about him smoking.
- 5:53SPEAKER_02: And he said, You know, uh my my mother lived to be 90 something years old.
- 5:58SPEAKER_02: You know why she lived that long?
- 6:00SPEAKER_02: And the woman was like, you know, she was gonna say, Did she not smoke?
- 6:03SPEAKER_02: He goes, he goes, No, because she learned to mind her own damn business.
- 6:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 6:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was probably my favorite stories.
- 6:10SPEAKER_00: Well, about those are some good ones, and I I mean, I didn't I didn't expect you to even ask Coach Cheryl about the bull thing when you asked him that.
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: I was like, Oh man, is he gonna get mad about that?
- 6:21SPEAKER_00: But I mean, he didn't he didn't care at all, he just he just kept rolling with it.
- 6:26SPEAKER_02: So um but uh yeah, yeah.
- 6:29SPEAKER_02: It's cool because you know that's like a he talked about what kind of led into that segment about it, but by using motivational techniques because he's a master at motivational techniques with his players and getting them uh involved and and just a cool way to get the get the teammates uh focused in and you know stuff like that.
- 6:48SPEAKER_02: So I really wanted to hear that from that perspective.
- 6:51SPEAKER_02: You know, he's even talked about dressing up as a leprechaun one time when they played Notre Dame, just really cool stuff that that we were like, man, if we had iPhones back then, we sure would love to see video footage of this stuff, and it was really cool.
- 7:05SPEAKER_02: I I just love Coach Sherrill so much.
- 7:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, those were those were both good ones.
- 7:10SPEAKER_00: And then I really liked uh Coach Schaefer.
- 7:13SPEAKER_00: Man, I mean, I'd heard like how awesome he was, and um everybody loved him when he was there, and I just didn't know a whole lot about him.
- 7:22SPEAKER_00: But I mean, I was getting goosebumps just listening to him talk, and I just felt like, man, I I just uh as loyal as he is to Mississippi State and Starkville, and just to hear the way he talked about it, not even being from there and just how much it touched him.
- 7:36SPEAKER_00: And I mean, I think that's how most of us feel about Mississippi State.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: And anybody listening to this is probably at least connected to Mississippi State and and probably feels a lot of pride.
- 7:47SPEAKER_00: So, you know, I would say if anybody hadn't listened to that one yet, that is you know, a really good one to listen to, just in general, about you know, kind of somebody from the outside of Mississippi looking in.
- 7:58SPEAKER_00: So I'd say that was my favorite.
- 7:59SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Coach Schaefer's a coach Schaefer is a class act all around.
- 8:03SPEAKER_02: And you know, just obviously what he's doing even at Texas, this is year one, and they got him in the elite eight.
- 8:09SPEAKER_02: And uh, I mean, he's just uh just a heck of a guy on and even a better person off the court.
- 8:14SPEAKER_02: So uh I mean and he could have talked to us for hours.
- 8:17SPEAKER_02: It's just uh so awesome that he was able to do that.
- 8:20SPEAKER_02: And I really enjoyed uh knowing that I know Coach Cheryl personally, that Coach Cheryl and Coach Schaefer are friends.
- 8:26SPEAKER_02: That was really cool getting that connection because I remember texting both of them afterwards, sharing the episodes with each other.
- 8:32SPEAKER_02: And uh they were Coach Schaefer was like, make sure I get more listens uh than than Jackie.
- 8:37SPEAKER_02: It was like a competition, but they they are just class act people all around.
- 8:42SPEAKER_02: And yeah, and it was like you said, it was really cool to see uh all the good things he said about the state of Mississippi and about his time here, and and uh I mean he he turned our our program around up here, and and uh a lot of people like me and you both we talked about that in the podcast about how we really didn't follow women's basketball like we did on the men's side, and and man, we he made us into fans, and then just like pretty much everybody at Mississippi State became women's basketball fans, and and it's a credit to him and his staff, and and he's gonna do the same thing.
- 9:13SPEAKER_02: Obviously, he's doing it right now.
- 9:15SPEAKER_02: Uh Tech is on it.
- 9:20SPEAKER_02: I mean guaranteed or win a championship with with his talents and everything.
- 9:23SPEAKER_02: So that was so cool getting him on there and and uh getting to hear all the good things he said.
- 9:28SPEAKER_02: Um really enjoyed the the restaurant ones with uh Robert St.
- 9:32SPEAKER_02: John and and Malcolm.
- 9:33SPEAKER_02: That was really cool hearing those stories.
- 9:34SPEAKER_02: I know I've been part of the St.
- 9:35SPEAKER_02: Paddy's Day Parade in Jackson for many, many years.
- 9:38SPEAKER_02: Matter of fact, when I was uh sharing the episode, I remember going, I was going through old pictures and finding myself when I was little in the parade all the way up to now and being the bead van with Bo and all that.
- 9:49SPEAKER_02: So I really enjoyed him kind of sharing how the parade started and how it how it went into um where we're at now.
- 9:57SPEAKER_02: And then and Robert and the the restaurants.
- 10:00SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's really he's really well known in the restaurant industry and especially in the Hattiesburg area.
- 10:05SPEAKER_02: That was that was really good.
- 10:06SPEAKER_02: I really enjoyed that.
- 10:08SPEAKER_02: Um what do you think?
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and then uh we well, I guess we had a controversial episode.
- 10:14SPEAKER_00: We had Scott Strickland on, and you shared it on Six Pack Speak, and man, you you got some people fired up in there about him caught Benedict Arnold and and all that kind of stuff, and they made some people mad.
- 10:27SPEAKER_00: And I you know, I always liked him.
- 10:29SPEAKER_00: I I was kind of mad when he left, but I mean I understand.
- 10:32SPEAKER_00: I mean, going to Florida, that's kind of a a big upgrade.
- 10:35SPEAKER_00: So if you told me I could go to Florida, I would I'd go to Florida, so I don't have any ill will towards him, and um, I mean, I think we're still doing fine as a program, you know, and they're doing great down there.
- 10:47SPEAKER_00: And he was the same way.
- 10:48SPEAKER_00: I mean, gracious guy, like super nice guy, spent plenty of time with us, you know, told us plenty of stories, anything we wanted to hear.
- 10:56SPEAKER_00: Uh, I really enjoyed it.
- 10:58SPEAKER_00: So I didn't, I was surprised that there's still so much uh animosity towards him.
- 11:03SPEAKER_02: Yeah, look, look, Scott is uh he he's just like Vic and Jackie in my book, just class act all around.
- 11:10SPEAKER_02: You're gonna have people like that, no matter it's just the nature of the business.
- 11:13SPEAKER_02: Wherever you leave someplace and you've had a lot of success and you go somewhere else, people are gonna be mad that you left.
- 11:19SPEAKER_02: But like you said, that's just part of it.
- 11:21SPEAKER_02: And and he did what he thought was best for his family and and his situation.
- 11:25SPEAKER_02: And and I you can't fault the man.
- 11:27SPEAKER_02: He he uh gosh, our athletic program with what he did.
- 11:31SPEAKER_02: People, people, these people who are mad, the ones that you're referring to, they they they seem to forget what he did for us here at Mississippi State.
- 11:39SPEAKER_02: I mean, he he really took it to the next level as far as athletics goes.
- 11:44SPEAKER_02: And uh, and what a great guy, man.
- 11:46SPEAKER_02: What a great guy on on uh off the athletic field, just a just a down-to-earth guy, really, really great guy.
- 11:52SPEAKER_02: Matter of fact, his birthday was yesterday.
- 11:54SPEAKER_02: I I shot him over a message and he wrote me back.
- 11:56SPEAKER_02: And just he he's you know, he he told us he was like, you know, if y'all ever need anything, you you let us know.
- 12:02SPEAKER_02: And I know you're going to Disney next week.
- 12:05SPEAKER_02: I'm going in October, so I think I'm right, I'm gonna try to plant it around when there's a uh Florida home game.
- 12:10SPEAKER_02: I'm I'm gonna see if I'm calling and see if I uh can head down there.
- 12:13SPEAKER_02: And um, yeah, I really enjoyed that.
- 12:15SPEAKER_02: He's he's a great guy, and and uh, but but that just goes with all the territory.
- 12:20SPEAKER_02: Anybody that leaves somewhere where you've had success and goes somewhere else, people are gonna be mad.
- 12:24SPEAKER_02: But as time goes on, people will get over it and and and they'll realize you know what good things he did here for the university because he's uh he's a bulldog through and through.
- 12:34SPEAKER_00: Yep, exactly.
- 12:36SPEAKER_00: Well, I think uh I was just gonna read off some stats here because there's some pretty cool stuff that um I was kind of surprised about.
- 12:44SPEAKER_00: So we had as of today, uh today's the ninth, uh May the 9th.
- 12:49SPEAKER_00: We've had 1562 downloads.
- 12:54SPEAKER_00: And uh we'll have to tell, I don't know if we want to tell Coach Schaefer or not, but but Coach Cheryl's episode is the top episode.
- 13:01SPEAKER_00: It's got in fact, it's got uh 86 more downloads than anybody else at this point.
- 13:07SPEAKER_00: So definitely some Jackie Cheryl fans.
- 13:10SPEAKER_02: They don't call him King Jackie for nothing, right?
- 13:12SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 13:13SPEAKER_00: But Coach Schaefer is is next in line, and then uh Scott Scott Strickland is is behind that.
- 13:19SPEAKER_00: So um, and then uh the other thing that's interesting too is is number four is is uh John Schneider.
- 13:26SPEAKER_00: So you know, famous actor and musician.
- 13:29SPEAKER_00: I thought maybe he'd be the top of the list, but King Jackie, he's got them all.
- 13:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know, you know my personal connection with John, and I was so happy and thrilled that he got to come on there and and kind of got because you know, I've been telling you about Bose Extravaganza for years now and all the cool stuff that goes on down there.
- 13:48SPEAKER_02: So I was thrilled when he jumped on board and and got to share about that and about his new movie, stand on it, and and about his music career.
- 13:58SPEAKER_02: He's just uh just a man of many, many talents.
- 14:00SPEAKER_02: And uh it's really cool to hear hear all that from his perspective and and me getting to share about him allowing me to be in his movies and just really, really cool stuff.
- 14:10SPEAKER_02: So um I'm really getting excited and I can't wait to share some uh uh tips uh since I was last one recently.
- 14:24SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 14:24SPEAKER_00: You kind of cut up you cut off on me a little bit there.
- 14:27SPEAKER_00: Um what was the last thing you said?
- 14:30SPEAKER_02: I said it was really cool to uh getting to hear about John and and uh and letting people know how I got involved in his movies and how I've always been a fan of his since I was little and just kind of a surreal deal, you know, that me and him are such good friends today.
- 14:43SPEAKER_02: When I used to look up to him, I could still see my five-year-old self dressed up in front of the TV, watching the Dukes of Hazard, dressed up in blue jeans and a denim jacket, pretending I was Bo Duke.
- 14:53SPEAKER_02: And uh all these years later, we're friends.
- 14:56SPEAKER_02: So I'm really getting excited to to uh talk a little bit about the uh what it's what it's like filming a fight scene.
- 15:02SPEAKER_02: So that was really cool that I got to be in the be in his new movie.
- 15:05SPEAKER_02: It's come I think he said it's gonna come out in December of this year.
- 15:08SPEAKER_02: So yeah, a lot of fun.
- 15:10SPEAKER_00: Well, then too, uh, to see him, you know, you gave him a pair of the Johnny Packer shades, and ever since you gave those to him, like every video he's done on Facebook, he's been wearing those shades.
- 15:22SPEAKER_00: So it's it's a pretty cool moment there too.
- 15:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's really cool.
- 15:26SPEAKER_02: I think I texted that earlier.
- 15:27SPEAKER_02: I was like, man, my my childhood hero and now wearing glasses with my name on it.
- 15:32SPEAKER_02: I was like, that's just just just kind of surreal, right there.
- 15:35SPEAKER_02: And yep, man, he he's as good as it gets.
- 15:37SPEAKER_02: He's uh he's one of the just like all these guests we've had, he he's one of those guys who give you the shirt off his back.
- 15:42SPEAKER_02: And I'm so uh so honored to be uh be a friend of his today.
- 15:47SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 15:48SPEAKER_00: Well, uh continuing with the stats, the other thing that's interesting.
- 15:51SPEAKER_00: So we've had people from all over the world listening to this, and uh people in Ireland, Germany, United Kingdom.
- 16:00SPEAKER_00: Um, I I have no idea how they found out about us, but they're listening.
- 16:06SPEAKER_00: But the other interesting thing too is is so the top city of people that have listened to our to our show, I assumed would be in Mississippi, but it's actually uh I don't know how to say this, it's Hoff, Ohio.
- 16:20SPEAKER_00: And I looked it up, it's uh it's a suburb of Cleveland, and so there must be some bulldogs or somebody up there that likes us.
- 16:29SPEAKER_00: And so whoever you are in in Ohio, um shoot us a message.
- 16:34SPEAKER_00: Um Johnny PackerIgmail.com.

- 16:56SPEAKER_00: Because I mean, y'all have downloaded it uh actually 10 more times than anybody else, even Mississippi.
- 17:02SPEAKER_00: So whoever you are, we we appreciate you listening.
- 17:06SPEAKER_02: I think I think the only person, Brandon, that me and you know, is our good friend and friend of the show, John Burring, uh from that area of Ohio.
- 17:13SPEAKER_02: But yeah, I don't know if they're his people or what, but uh yeah, we we got some love from the uh Ohio Indians, I guess that's what he said.
- 17:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so we'd love to hear who you are.
- 17:23SPEAKER_02: Let us know.
- 17:24SPEAKER_00: The next ones too.
- 17:25SPEAKER_00: So we got Madison and Ridgeland, which we kind of expect those are the number two and three downloads, and then uh number four is Atlanta, Georgia.
- 17:33SPEAKER_00: Lots of people in Atlanta listening, and uh, and then behind Atlanta we got Jackson again.
- 17:38SPEAKER_00: So uh same thing here.
- 17:40SPEAKER_00: I mean, whoever whoever's in Atlanta, I know uh Josh Barnhill in Atlanta, but I can't think of anybody else in Atlanta that uh that I would know that'd be listening.
- 17:51SPEAKER_00: So you know, same thing.
- 17:53SPEAKER_00: Reach out to us, let us know who you are, and we'd we'd love to kind of hear from you and everything.
- 17:58SPEAKER_00: So um that kind of leads me to, you know, we we're so this is gonna be the final episode of season one.
- 18:06SPEAKER_00: We'll probably come back in the middle of June or so and start season two up.
- 18:10SPEAKER_00: So we won't be gone too long.
- 18:12SPEAKER_00: But John mentioned I'm going to Disney World next week and just got a bunch of stuff going on.
- 18:17SPEAKER_00: So we'll take a little break here, but we'd love to hear from y'all and you know tell us if there's anybody you'd like us to interview, get on the show.
- 18:27SPEAKER_00: If you want to come on the show, if there's any anything you want us to talk about, you know, shoot us, shoot us a message, let us know about that because uh we want this to be the people show, and um we want to be here for y'all.
- 18:40SPEAKER_00: And uh we've got kind of a special thing going at the end of this show.
- 18:43SPEAKER_00: We have a a friend of ours, Lee Penton.
- 18:46SPEAKER_00: He's gonna join us and we're gonna do a little uh uh top list of uh some things later.
- 18:52SPEAKER_00: And so we we want to kind of have some more guest interaction here as we get into season two.
- 18:57SPEAKER_00: So um definitely reach out to us if you're interested in that.
- 19:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think it I think it'd be really cool uh if we can get people, you know.
- 19:07SPEAKER_02: Another thing we when we started this podcast, you know, it was just me and you.
- 19:11SPEAKER_02: We are originally, I think our goal was we're gonna try to get someone from a town of the whether it be Noxipater, Philadelphia, place that not many people know much about, and they could get on and kind of share things to do in that in that town, whether places to eat, stuff like that, especially since it relates back to the glasses being named after different Mississippi towns.
- 19:34SPEAKER_02: So so maybe uh in uh our next season, of course, we we would love to have uh guests with big followings again to share it.
- 19:41SPEAKER_02: And I think I think that's a great thing hearing the here hearing guest stories that have big followings and then they can share it.
- 19:49SPEAKER_02: More people know about it.
- 19:50SPEAKER_02: So we we want to do that again, but we'd also like to get people just in small town Mississippi, just different areas who might have something to share about their particular town that we don't know about, you know, because we're all about like like we had Bo Bowns on last week, the all lifestyle.
- 20:05SPEAKER_02: I've I I really felt like that was a cool interview because kind of like what we're doing here food, restaurants, drinks, places to hang out.
- 20:14SPEAKER_02: It's just local southern-based Mississippi deal.
- 20:19SPEAKER_02: So uh so yeah, we'd love to do that and get you from a so if you're out there listening and you're in Noxapater or you're in Ackerman or Sturgis or just any small town in Mississippi and you want to get on and share your story about your town, we'd love to hear it.
- 20:34SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Hoff, Ohio.
- 20:36SPEAKER_00: Come on and tell us about it.
- 20:37SPEAKER_00: What's going on?
- 20:38SPEAKER_02: Yes, not just Mississippi, but Ohio, definitely.
- 20:41SPEAKER_02: We'd love, yeah.
- 20:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I feel like we need to do something for our our loyal listeners, and they're at the top of the list.
- 20:46SPEAKER_02: So maybe they'll shoot us over a message and and we'll get somebody on.
- 20:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 20:52SPEAKER_00: Well, I just kind of want to say one more thing, and then we'll we'll uh wrap this up and get over to our guest uh here in a little while.
- 20:59SPEAKER_00: So um, but uh had the opportunity.
- 21:02SPEAKER_00: Johnny came up to the office, uh, the Johnny Packer Hour HQ this past week, and him and his mom came up.
- 21:08SPEAKER_00: And this is the first time they've actually seen that kind of the full collection of our glasses, besides just the pictures and everything, and a couple that I sent him.
- 21:17SPEAKER_00: So I thought that was that was fun.
- 21:19SPEAKER_00: He came up, got his eyes checked, and picked out a pair of prescription glasses, and then um his mom got some sunglasses, and then we talked a little bit, you know, kind of about what we want to do going forward.
- 21:31SPEAKER_00: And I showed him I've got a whole bunch of of new frames in there that I'm actually gonna turn into some uh reading glasses and some computer glasses, blue light glasses.
- 21:41SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna get those dropped into the website pretty soon here, and hopefully that's gonna be something y'all are interested in.
- 21:48SPEAKER_00: So um, but I enjoyed that and and it was good.
- 21:51SPEAKER_00: It's just kind of surreal.
- 21:53SPEAKER_00: I mean, we've been friends forever, but you know, coming up and you actually seeing everything was was a fun moment.
- 21:59SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's uh It was really cool.
- 22:01SPEAKER_02: I'm glad I got to come up there because, like I said, I've been seeing it on the on the website, but I hadn't seen them in person.
- 22:08SPEAKER_02: And gosh, if you're in the Carterville area, Memphis area, stop by Brandon's store, Carrierville Vision Center in Carterville.
- 22:15SPEAKER_02: And man, Carterville is a really cool town.
- 22:17SPEAKER_02: I really like that.
- 22:17SPEAKER_02: We rode around the town square.
- 22:20SPEAKER_02: There was a I told you we stopped at this home and garden place, and there's a talking parrot in there.
- 22:24SPEAKER_02: Hello, hello, hello.
- 22:25SPEAKER_02: It kept saying, pretty new.
- 22:28SPEAKER_02: But uh, yeah, stop by Brandon's office and uh and check him out.
- 22:31SPEAKER_02: There's so much to choose from, so many different types of Johnny Packers, whether it be sunglasses or or the eyeglasses, and really, really, really cool deal.
- 22:40SPEAKER_02: So it was kind of a like you said, it was kind of a surreal moment, you know, getting to come in there.
- 22:45SPEAKER_02: Besides looking on the internet, seeing them seeing them in person with my name on it and stuff.
- 22:50SPEAKER_02: So really, really neat.
- 22:51SPEAKER_02: So I enjoy that.
- 22:53SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
- 22:55SPEAKER_00: Well, all right.
- 22:56SPEAKER_00: I think it's probably time to turn this over to our guest here.
- 22:59SPEAKER_00: So we'll uh get this part wrapped up and and hopefully y'all enjoy this this next segment here.
- 23:04SPEAKER_00: And if you have any feedback about that, feel free to shoot us a message about it because you know this this would be a fun topic to talk about.
- 23:12SPEAKER_00: So we'll uh we'll talk to y'all soon.
- 23:15SPEAKER_00: All right, y'all.
- 23:16SPEAKER_00: We are back here.
- 23:17SPEAKER_00: We got our guest with us now.
- 23:19SPEAKER_00: Um, give you all a little background on him.
- 23:21SPEAKER_00: He's we've John Clark and I have known him for a long time.
- 23:24SPEAKER_00: Went to went to school with him back in the day.
- 23:25SPEAKER_00: We've got Lee Penton with us.
- 23:27SPEAKER_00: He is uh, if y'all don't know him, he's a legendary fisherman around Madison County, been fishing as long as I know, caught some of the biggest fish I've ever seen.
- 23:36SPEAKER_00: Also, probably watched uh the most number of like fights, UFC fights, boxing matches, fight movies, anything I can think of, I probably watched it at his house.
- 23:47SPEAKER_00: So we figured he's he's the most qualified version to uh to come in here and talk to us about this tonight.
- 23:52SPEAKER_00: So uh Lee, how you doing today?
- 23:55SPEAKER_00: Doing well, Brandon.
- 23:56SPEAKER_00: How you doing, man?
- 23:57SPEAKER_00: Doing good.
- 23:58SPEAKER_00: We're we're glad to have you on.
- 24:00SPEAKER_02: So thanks, Lee, for coming over and joining us.
- 24:03SPEAKER_00: So, first thing that the reason we came up with this is we wanted to uh talk about some some top five, top three fight scenes in movies, is because uh Johnny was just recently in one of the John Snyder films and he filmed a fight scene.
- 24:18SPEAKER_00: So um let's get into that.
- 24:20SPEAKER_00: Tell us a little bit about that.
- 24:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so uh we had John back on our podcast uh about a month or so ago, and he was talking about the movie Stand on It, which is his new movie that uh came out last year that he's been promoting a lot, and it is a tribute movie to uh Smoking the Bandit.
- 24:39SPEAKER_02: So we all know and love Smoking the Bandit with Bert Reynolds and all that.
- 24:42SPEAKER_02: So Stand On It is uh is a tribute movie, it's very similar to it.
- 24:46SPEAKER_02: So this movie, follow-up movie, is called Poker Run, and it will be out in December as well, I believe.
- 24:53SPEAKER_02: And anyway, he filmed it during uh Bose Extravaganza, which we talked about.
- 24:57SPEAKER_02: It's an annual birthday party he has in the spring every year on his property.
- 25:01SPEAKER_02: And uh so I went down there, he asked me uh if I'd like to uh be in the bar scene.
- 25:11SPEAKER_02: So, of course, man, this is gonna be awesome.
- 25:12SPEAKER_02: So I really didn't know what to expect.
- 25:14SPEAKER_02: I've never been in a fight in real life, more or less a fight in a movie.
- 25:17SPEAKER_02: So uh I was like, this is gonna be awesome.
- 25:20SPEAKER_02: I don't know anything what I'm gonna do, but I'll figure it out.
- 25:22SPEAKER_02: So so I go on there and go to go to the studios and and and he uh we set everybody up in this scene.
- 25:29SPEAKER_02: I won't tell about what the movie's about or anything like that because I'll wait for everybody to watch it, but I'll just kind of talk a little bit about what it takes to film a fight scene because I I was new to this and it was really cool.
- 25:39SPEAKER_02: So the the fight scene that he has set up is uh it's like a honky tonk.
- 25:45SPEAKER_02: So uh, you know, if you've seen the movie like Porkies or something like that, that that scene right there, the honky tonk, that's kind of what we're dealing with, but it wasn't a real bar, it was on property in a scene that he set up.
- 25:57SPEAKER_02: And uh yeah, so I mean I'm I'm standing against the bar, and uh guy taps me on my shoulder, I turn around, boom, he smokes me in the face, and I'm like, uh, but of course he's not hitting me, he just like it's all acting, you know.
- 26:12SPEAKER_02: So he punches and I jump back and then I jump on him, hit him in the face, and then we go at it, throw each other against the wall, and he threw me against the pool table.
- 26:22SPEAKER_02: There's a pool table in there, and man, we were going at it before Yellow Cut was about five minutes, and uh and so John, his character and another guy are the main characters fighting in the scene, and in the background, there's four separate fights going on.
- 26:35SPEAKER_02: I'm one of the four fights, and uh it was really cool.
- 26:39SPEAKER_02: The the guy them fighting is uh was also in was it he was in stand on it, played the bandit character, but uh really cool guy.
- 26:47SPEAKER_02: But uh yeah, that was so cool about the fight scene, you know.
- 26:51SPEAKER_02: Me being uh in any type of uh exerting myself or anything back in the day, man.
- 26:57SPEAKER_02: You know, I'd be coughing up along, just nonstop coughing.
- 27:00SPEAKER_02: I couldn't stop.
- 27:01SPEAKER_02: And after filming the scene, I was like, wow, I did not cough one single time after I realized it when he yelled cut didn't cough at all.
- 27:09SPEAKER_02: Of course, I was winded, but heck everybody was because we went at it for about five minutes now.
- 27:16SPEAKER_02: And I think we did it about four or five times.
- 27:19SPEAKER_02: So uh uh it was awful.
- 27:22SPEAKER_02: I can't everybody see it.
- 27:23SPEAKER_02: So that got us thinking.
- 27:25SPEAKER_02: We're like, man, what what would be a really cool fight scene?
- 27:28SPEAKER_02: You know, there have been so many fight scenes to choose from when you watch movies.
- 27:30SPEAKER_02: What are like the top five of each one?
- 27:32SPEAKER_02: And we were like, Well, we'd like to get some interaction with me and Brandon to get someone on here that might know about fight scenes.
- 27:38SPEAKER_02: And Lee Pitton, that came to mind.
- 27:41SPEAKER_02: We're like, you know, Lee Pitton would know about a fight scene.
- 27:44SPEAKER_02: I remember you always used to talk about uh about uh UFC and WWE and uh all that sort of stuff back back in the day.
- 27:53SPEAKER_02: So I was like, man, he'd be good to to get on here.
- 27:55SPEAKER_02: Brandon thought the same thing.
- 27:56SPEAKER_02: So uh so yeah, that's how we got this started talking about that.
- 28:00SPEAKER_02: So uh a little plug for John's movie uh stand on.
- 28:03SPEAKER_02: If you haven't watched it, go watch it and then look for poker run in December and you'll see me in a bar fight.
- 28:08SPEAKER_02: So uh yeah, let's talk about some uh favorite bar movies fight scenes.
- 28:14SPEAKER_00: Well, let's see.
- 28:15SPEAKER_00: So so we've all got a list here, and uh I'll I'll probably I'll go ahead and read mine first.
- 28:21SPEAKER_00: Y'all can tell me what you think about it, and then we'll have Lee and we do Johnny at the end.
- 28:26SPEAKER_00: Um so I know and I had a hard time kind of narrowing this down, but I'm gonna go ahead and say, like the so the the one of the honorable mentioned ones is gonna be the anchor man fight scene where uh where they all come on and it's just a brawl and they've got all their fake weapons and and somebody loses an arm, I think.
- 28:48SPEAKER_00: And um you know that one that one's a pretty pretty good funny one there for me.
- 28:54SPEAKER_00: And then um another one of my favorite ones is Roadhouse.
- 28:59SPEAKER_00: Um pretty much any anytime during the movie, there's there's a good fight going on in Roadhouse, and that one was kind of hard to narrow down because there's just so many different fight scenes uh going on in that one.
- 29:12SPEAKER_00: But um so that that kind of brings me to my top three here.
- 29:17SPEAKER_00: And so um the number three is Karate Kid, just the the classic um, you know, the 80s movie.
- 29:26SPEAKER_00: You got you got the move, the sound playing, you're the best around, and everybody's fighting, and then the end scene there, the sweep of the leg, all that stuff, and then the crane kick.
- 29:37SPEAKER_00: I mean, I can't think of anything else that's more iconic from from growing up back in the day.
- 29:42SPEAKER_00: So um so that's probably number three for me.
- 29:46SPEAKER_00: And then uh number two is gonna be the Rocky III fight when uh he fights Clever Lang, Mr.
- 29:54SPEAKER_00: T at the end there.
- 29:56SPEAKER_00: Um but I always like the little scenes where they they're training for the fight, and uh I think it's him and uh Apollo are training together, and it's it's all cheesy, and and then they get ready for the fight, and uh he gets in there and and he's fighting him, and you just see Mr.
- 30:11SPEAKER_00: Head, Mr.
- 30:12SPEAKER_00: T's head going pa just like bouncing back the whole time.
- 30:16SPEAKER_00: Um and then he takes him out, and Mr.
- 30:19SPEAKER_00: T just looks dazed.
- 30:20SPEAKER_00: So that's probably number two for me.
- 30:22SPEAKER_00: And then uh my favorite one, it's not necessarily a fight, but uh tombstone when uh when they go to the bar and Billy Bob Thornton is in there, uh Johnny Tyler and uh White Wyatt goes in there.
- 30:38SPEAKER_00: Johnny Tyler's over there uh you know running his his card game and and he goes up to him and the bartender says, This guy's you know causing trouble here.
- 30:46SPEAKER_00: And Johnny Tyler, you know, Wyatt goes up to him and and uh he says, uh I think you're in my chair, sir.
- 30:54SPEAKER_00: And um he said, I told you get that cigar out of my face.
- 30:57SPEAKER_00: And um everything starts going and he starts slapping him around and he says, Go on and hit me, go on and hit me, and he ends up just running out.
- 31:05SPEAKER_00: And then they go back out into the um outside, and uh he's talking to Doc Holliday, and he comes up with a shotgun.
- 31:14SPEAKER_00: They just kind of ignore him, and then they just have him uh they go, All right, Johnny, you can go now.
- 31:19SPEAKER_00: And he just puts it down and just walks away.
- 31:21SPEAKER_00: So that's definitely my favorite one.
- 31:26SPEAKER_01: Man, Brandon, you really stole my thunder because I had a list made out, and I had the Rocky Clover lane on there, and the Kurt Russell and Billybob Thornton on there.
- 31:39SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna have to, I'm not, I'm not, I'm gonna have to pull a few rabbits out of the hat here.
- 31:45SPEAKER_01: Um the only one, and also Johnny stole my porkies won the Todia before the call, the best bar fight.
- 31:54SPEAKER_01: So I guess I guess I guess um uh I guess I'm gonna have to narrow it down.
- 31:59SPEAKER_01: The only one that I had on my short list before this call that we haven't talked about is Cool Han Luke and Dragline.
- 32:08SPEAKER_01: And the fight that they had where Dragline kept on telling Cool Han Luke to stay down and he wouldn't.
- 32:16SPEAKER_01: And he said, and he said he kept on coming back with nothing.
- 32:19SPEAKER_01: And Cool Han Luke said sometimes nothing's a really cool hand.
- 32:25SPEAKER_01: Um that's definitely uh one of my favorites.
- 32:30SPEAKER_01: And I thought about that last night when I was watching cat on a hot tin on a top on a hot tin roof with my wife.
- 32:38SPEAKER_01: Um the uh let's see, another another honorable mention is um which really should be a top three too, is the Darth Bader, Luke Skywalker uh uh fight they had at the end of Return of the Jedi.
- 32:57SPEAKER_01: And also in Empire Strikes Back to, there were two fights.
- 33:01SPEAKER_01: And you know, there's nothing like fighting when you're talking about like family, you know what I mean?
- 33:09SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 33:10SPEAKER_01: No one fights like family.
- 33:12SPEAKER_01: Um, but that was that was a good fight.
- 33:15SPEAKER_01: And uh when I was a kid, um, you know, especially in the 80s, I mean, Star Wars, I mean, that pretty much dominated for about 10 years.
- 33:27SPEAKER_01: The new ones are good, but I don't think it had the dominance that the that the older ones did.
- 33:32SPEAKER_01: I remember we were I remember we were fighting with lightsabers out in the yard at like seven or eight years old, you know.
- 33:40SPEAKER_01: So uh I think I think that had a uh you know a lasting effect on me.
- 33:49SPEAKER_01: Um but to to to pull another one out and talking about fighting and especially like modern type shows, you gotta talk about Game of Thrones.
- 34:00SPEAKER_01: Um, in particular, the Battle of the Bastards, where uh Ramsey Bolton had Jon Snow's sister kidnapped.
- 34:10SPEAKER_01: Uh and John and Jon Snow was getting ready to to inv to invade Winterfell, his homeland.
- 34:20SPEAKER_01: And Ramsey at the first part of the battle, let she he also had John's brother uh kidnapped too, and he let him go and he started shooting arrows.
- 34:33SPEAKER_01: And he told him if he could make it to John before an error hit him, that he would be free.
- 34:37SPEAKER_01: And he got almost there, and when he's about 500 yards, Ramsey shot an air right through John's heart, and their two armies like came into like a big fight, and um John's army won the battle, and Ramsey ended up retreating back into Winterfell.
- 34:56SPEAKER_01: Well, actually, he at the end of it, and John went in, and basically they had like a one-on-one fight, and John Snow beat Ramsey Bolton up, and he made him a prisoner.
- 35:09SPEAKER_01: And John's sister, Sansa, was in the prison, and Ramsay had these dogs, and he would feed uh the prisoners to the dogs because the dogs were starving.
- 35:25SPEAKER_01: And Sansa at the end ended up soaking the dogs on Ramsay and they tore him apart.
- 35:31SPEAKER_01: And then at the end of the end of the series, they made John uh John Snow King of the North and like a kind of like a Last Supper type scene.
- 35:41SPEAKER_01: And you know, I feel like you know, talking about Game of Thrones, they should have ended it shortly after that because I feel like after the Battle of the Bastards, it just really went down.
- 35:51SPEAKER_01: But that was a great scene.
- 35:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 35:56SPEAKER_00: Well, what about uh old Thunderlips and Rocky III?
- 35:59SPEAKER_00: That's that's probably a good one too.
- 36:01SPEAKER_01: I put that one on the list, but uh, since you name Rocky, I just stayed completely away from it.
- 36:06SPEAKER_01: The Russian was good, Thunderlips was good, um Apollo was good, there was a lot of good action, and there's some good R.
- 36:14SPEAKER_01: Schwarzenegger stuff too.
- 36:17SPEAKER_01: Um, but I tried to stick to stuff that's realistic, and I think that the Porkies is probably the most applicable towards what John Clark's talking about.
- 36:25SPEAKER_01: And there was a good bar, there is a good bar scene in Yellowstone, too.
- 36:29SPEAKER_01: If you watch that, also here recently, where there was a big bar fight.
- 36:32SPEAKER_01: I can't really remember the details of it.
- 36:34SPEAKER_01: It all kind of runs together.
- 36:37SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Yellowstone's a great show.
- 36:41SPEAKER_00: Let's hear yours, Johnny.
- 36:43SPEAKER_02: Okay, uh, some of mine are are very similar to what you have, Brandon.
- 36:48SPEAKER_02: Uh well, I would say probably the uh I like the anchorman uh scene that you were talking about.
- 36:56SPEAKER_02: That was really, really good.
- 36:58SPEAKER_02: Um the Roadhouse.
- 37:01SPEAKER_02: Now, Roadhouse, my favorite fight scene is Roadhouse, is with uh Dalton, Patrick Swayze's character, comes outside and just beats the ever living crap out of this guy.
- 37:11SPEAKER_02: He reaches in and rips his throat out.
- 37:13SPEAKER_02: You remember that scene?
- 37:16SPEAKER_02: Holy cow, Lee, do you know that what I'm talking about?
- 37:21SPEAKER_02: I don't uh you gotta go back and watch Roadhouse.
- 37:24SPEAKER_02: There's a scene, he literally rips the guy's throat out.
- 37:27SPEAKER_02: Patrick Swayze does, it's just insane.
- 37:29SPEAKER_02: So that's way up there for me.
- 37:32SPEAKER_02: Um let's see.
- 37:34SPEAKER_02: Um Rocky, that was great.
- 37:37SPEAKER_02: Like you said, the poly knight at Creed.
- 37:39SPEAKER_02: Now, the new one with uh Creed, you know, I wasn't sure if I was gonna like that or not.
- 37:42SPEAKER_02: It's just kind of a not really Stallone as the main guy, but um, it's good, and there's some good fight scenes in that.
- 37:50SPEAKER_02: Um was the best one.
- 37:53SPEAKER_00: Which one he fights the Russian guy's uh yeah, yeah, definitely.
- 37:59SPEAKER_02: Uh, there's an interesting movie I caught up on Netflix last year during the pandemic was uh something called uh Spencer Confidential.
- 38:09SPEAKER_02: I don't know if y'all ever heard of that.
- 38:10SPEAKER_02: Has Mark Wahlberg in it, and there's a fight scene in there with a really cool fight scene, is when they have music playing in the background too, overs doing the fight scene.
- 38:18SPEAKER_02: I like that.
- 38:18SPEAKER_02: That's really cool.
- 38:19SPEAKER_02: They had Sweet Caroline playing in the scene, it's a Boston movie, and he goes in the bathroom and just gets the ever loving crap beaten out of it.
- 38:27SPEAKER_02: Mark Mark Wahlberg does, and uh, and and it's sweet Caroline Pop Bum.
- 38:33SPEAKER_02: I mean, just freaking just going at it, which is hilarious.
- 38:36SPEAKER_02: So that's uh that was really cool.
- 38:38SPEAKER_02: Uh, one of the first fight scenes that I ever remember when I was a little kid goes back to my buddy John Schneider, who who we talked about earlier.
- 38:46SPEAKER_02: Of course, there were lots of cool fight scenes in the Dukes, lots of uh bar scenes in the boars nest.
- 38:51SPEAKER_02: Uh, that probably was the first fight scenes I've ever seen, but first fight scene in a movie that I saw when I was a kid had John in it, and it was a movie called uh Christmas Comes to Willow Creek, and it was kind of a spin-off of the Dukes.
- 39:03SPEAKER_02: It had uh John Schneider and Tom Wopat who played Luke, so it's Bo and Luke, but they'd play two different guys and they're cousins and they're truckers, and it's a Christmas movie, and uh and Luke's character uh has a kid, and they're I they're not cousins.
- 39:20SPEAKER_02: I think about they're they're brothers.
- 39:21SPEAKER_02: So so John's character is an uncle to the kid.
- 39:24SPEAKER_02: Well, the kid thinks that uh John's character is like the uncle, he wants to hang out with him, and his dad, Luke's, uh, is the strip guy.
- 39:33SPEAKER_02: Well, they take him, they're they're trying to get to Alaska and uh to for for Christmas, and they're they drive 18-wheelers.
- 39:40SPEAKER_02: So the the son rides with them, and uh they stop along the way at this uh this bar, and uh and John Schneider's character's name is Ray.
- 39:50SPEAKER_02: He gets inside uh the bar and someone tries to pick a fight with him, and man, he just riles back, just just smokes the guy, and it just comes into this big brawl.
- 39:59SPEAKER_02: And once again, they had a music playing in the background.
- 40:02SPEAKER_02: This song, I'll never forget it was called Three Is My Lucky Number Every time at it brawling since a little kid when I saw that, so that was cool.
- 40:15SPEAKER_02: But my number one fight scene of all time is the movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
- 40:20SPEAKER_02: It's my favorite favorite fight scene.
- 40:22SPEAKER_02: If you haven't seen that movie, do yourself a favor, watch it, or watch the fight scene clip, it's on YouTube.
- 40:28SPEAKER_02: So the the have y'all either one of y'all seen this movie I'm talking about.
- 40:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I saw the I saw the clip.
- 40:33SPEAKER_00: That thing is nuts.
- 40:35SPEAKER_02: Okay, yeah, the movie is so awesome.
- 40:37SPEAKER_02: It's about it has Leonardo, Caprio, and Brad Pitt.
- 40:41SPEAKER_02: And uh, so Leonardo plays this washed up uh actor, and Brad Pitt plays a stunt double, and this is uh this is in the same time period as the uh Charles Manson murders on Los Angeles.
- 40:54SPEAKER_02: So uh they move into this house.
- 40:56SPEAKER_02: Uh well Leonardo has his house right next to uh a uh this this film director, and um and the Manson family comes in at the very end of the movie, they uh they show up at at the house, and um, and Brad and Leonardo is in the pool.
- 41:16SPEAKER_02: He's actually laying in the land on a raft in the pool reading a script for a movie, and he'd already been in a in a movie with his fire torch, which is uh one of the props he had in this movie.
- 41:27SPEAKER_02: He and he had it in the in the guest house.
- 41:29SPEAKER_02: And anyway, these uh the the Manson clan comes up and and uh Brad Pitt had taken some some medicine, like some drug that was psychedelic, and he was taking his dog for a walk, so he was like kind of out of it, and he comes back.
- 41:46SPEAKER_02: And uh when the when they come into the door, they just Brad Pitt just lets his dog go at it, he attacks the people, and it's just I mean, bashing the heads in.
- 41:55SPEAKER_02: I mean, it is just and I think it has a really cool song.
- 41:58SPEAKER_02: Uh, can't remember that off the top of my head the soundtrack to it, but it has a really cool song from that time period playing.
- 42:05SPEAKER_02: And uh anyway, Leonardo has his headphones on reading the script of the pool.
- 42:09SPEAKER_02: He has no idea this is going on in his house.
- 42:11SPEAKER_02: And anyway, it makes it way.
- 42:12SPEAKER_02: One of the uh Nansen cronies goes outside and comes into the pool area, and Leonardo looks up.
- 42:17SPEAKER_02: What the heck's going on?
- 42:18SPEAKER_02: He goes inside the pool house and grabs his uh flame torch or thing and just like just starts spraying people with fire everywhere.
- 42:26SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's just an absolute all-out brawl.
- 42:29SPEAKER_02: And uh, so yeah, that would rank rank uh number one is a fight.
- 42:33SPEAKER_02: See now, I when I was a kid, I watched uh were y'all big uh Walker, Texas Ranger fans.
- 42:38SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
- 42:39SPEAKER_02: The not the ones now, but the good ones with Chuck Norris.
- 42:42SPEAKER_02: The thing that I always found interesting about that is there's a fight in just about every single episode.
- 42:48SPEAKER_02: If you ever remember, Chuck Norris is in the middle and there's fighting, and there's all these dudes fighting him, but they all take separate turns.
- 42:56SPEAKER_02: It's the weirdest thing.
- 42:57SPEAKER_02: Like, like they just wait for their turns to get their butt kicked.
- 43:00SPEAKER_02: It's like, man, if they all jump him at once, they beat him up.
- 43:02SPEAKER_02: But I guess because it's TV and the movies, they all wait literally.
- 43:06SPEAKER_02: He beats them up, then he beats them up, then he beats them up, and then they all wait their turns, which is uh which is really funny.
- 43:12SPEAKER_02: But but yeah, the the fight scenes are just um my favorite ones that have the music soundtrack to it.
- 43:18SPEAKER_02: I'll have to look that up to see what the once upon a time in Hollywood.
- 43:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah, those listening to this probably already know what what the song is is playing, but uh having the having a song uh over the fight song, a fight sight scene really adds something to it, makes it really cool.
- 43:35SPEAKER_02: But the the sounding, which is what I can't wait for this movie to come out, is because like I said, it was all acting, so we didn't actually hit each other.
- 43:42SPEAKER_02: We had to like fake that we're hitting it.
- 43:45SPEAKER_02: But when John edits it and puts it all together, you're gonna hear the you know, the that sound like that.
- 43:52SPEAKER_02: And uh it'll make it look like we really hit each other, which we we really didn't, but uh it's really cool.
- 43:58SPEAKER_02: So yeah, watch this now.
- 43:59SPEAKER_02: Every time I watch the movie, There's a fight scene, I look to that.
- 44:02SPEAKER_02: If you look carefully and pause it, of course, you can do it now with Blu-ray.
- 44:05SPEAKER_02: So you can see that they're really not hitting each other in all these fight scenes you watch on TV.
- 44:10SPEAKER_02: But uh it was cool, it was a blast.
- 44:12SPEAKER_02: So that's why I kind of uh kind of thought about this would be a cool topic to talk about.
- 44:17SPEAKER_02: Not every not every podcast you hear talks about movie fight scenes and what your favorite ones are and all that sort of stuff.
- 44:23SPEAKER_02: So that kind of got us got us going in it.
- 44:26SPEAKER_02: But uh yeah, these are really cool.
- 44:27SPEAKER_02: Karate Kid, man.
- 44:28SPEAKER_02: Like, have y'all watched uh Cobra Kai by chance?
- 44:31SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
- 44:33SPEAKER_01: I love Cobra Kai watched every one of them.
- 44:35SPEAKER_02: Oh, me too, man.
- 44:36SPEAKER_02: It is if you're a fan of karate, yeah.
- 44:40SPEAKER_01: I have a hot total respect uh for for Johnny.
- 44:44SPEAKER_00: Yep, me too.
- 44:45SPEAKER_01: Um, I got one more for you because I know uh this kind of SEC football, uh, that's kind of one of the major one of the things we talk about.
- 44:55SPEAKER_01: We gotta ask for there too, where the fight scene where the kids were chasing him in the truck and he ran away, and then they had him run to he ran all around the city and he ran across the football field.
- 45:12SPEAKER_01: And when he went right across the football field, Coach Bear Bratt was there, and they brought him on and recruited him to go to school in Alabama.
- 45:21SPEAKER_01: He goes, I got to go to college too.
- 45:24SPEAKER_01: And the th I tell you what's funny, all these Alabama fans they get upset because they say, oh, you know, that it paints them in a bad picture of them giving scholarships to people that that that don't make their grades, which there's probably a lot of truth to that.
- 45:44SPEAKER_02: That's true.
- 45:45SPEAKER_02: Yep, man.
- 45:48SPEAKER_00: Well, that's some pretty good stuff.
- 45:50SPEAKER_00: Um Lee, we we really appreciate you coming on, Lee.
- 45:53SPEAKER_02: Um, you keep you keep me hanging on.
- 45:55SPEAKER_02: That's the that's the name of the song.
- 45:57SPEAKER_02: I'm just looking it up right now.
- 45:58SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that song from the 70s.
- 46:01SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, it was good.
- 46:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Lee, that that's awesome.
- 46:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah, tell us about Lee.
- 46:06SPEAKER_02: I have to ask you while I got you on online right online with us right now.
- 46:09SPEAKER_02: Brandon, do you remember this?
- 46:11SPEAKER_02: You used to tell us that your uncle was the ultimate warrior.
- 46:14SPEAKER_02: You remember telling us that?
- 46:16SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, he used to look just like him.
- 46:19SPEAKER_01: Um I always thought that was true, man.
- 46:23SPEAKER_01: Well, if you saw him, you would believe it because he had long hair like the ultimate warrior, and he was about six four, 200 and probably 75 pounds and solid muscle.
- 46:33SPEAKER_01: And that was back in the 80s, man.
- 46:36SPEAKER_01: And uh, you know, he was uh he he was out krausing around the dock at night and just uh living the living the living the 80s life, man.
- 46:49SPEAKER_01: I mean, man he had a he had he, you know, he was he he was he he was 6'4 in in in 265, 270, and he had a mullet like the ultimate warrior had, you know.
- 47:03SPEAKER_01: And uh that's just that's just how they rolled back then, back in those days.
- 47:07SPEAKER_01: You know, he's he's he's he's in his early 60s now, and he just got over COVID.
- 47:12SPEAKER_01: So uh he had a real hard time with it.
- 47:14SPEAKER_01: Almost killed him.
- 47:16SPEAKER_01: Dang.
- 47:18SPEAKER_00: COVID can't kill the Ultimate Warrior.
- 47:22SPEAKER_00: I know it can't.
- 47:24SPEAKER_02: Well Lee, what what's what's your opinion on uh on wrestling and all that stuff now?
- 47:28SPEAKER_02: Do you still watch that or it's a little bit different than what it was when we were kids?
- 47:33SPEAKER_01: It is.
- 47:34SPEAKER_01: Um, well, you know, I'm I'm a government I own a company that does a bunch of government contracting, and Linda McMahon was the uh administrator for the SBA.
- 47:45SPEAKER_01: So I got to pretty much work with her firsthand.
- 47:48SPEAKER_01: Um, but I quit watching wrestling after uh probably I don't know, probably probably 2003, 2004.
- 47:59SPEAKER_01: Once Stone Cold and The Rock and all those guys left, I was done.
- 48:03SPEAKER_01: Um, you know, it just it I kind of just outgrew it.
- 48:09SPEAKER_01: And I don't, I don't, and I don't think that maybe it is as good as it was then.
- 48:14SPEAKER_01: I just don't watch it.
- 48:16SPEAKER_01: I I flip to it every now and then.
- 48:18SPEAKER_01: I you know, I tell you what made me quit watching it was my wife because she doesn't watch it.
- 48:23SPEAKER_01: And because she doesn't watch it means I don't watch it.
- 48:27SPEAKER_02: Yep, I mean that's yeah.
- 48:29SPEAKER_02: One of the one of the movies uh I was in with John Schneider talking about movies, uh uh Buff Bagwell was in it.
- 48:36SPEAKER_02: Remember that guy, Marcus Buff Bagwell.
- 48:39SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, he was a good wrestler.
- 48:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he was uh he was a good guy.
- 48:43SPEAKER_02: It's called that movie is called Four to Go.
- 48:45SPEAKER_02: If you want to catch it out, catch it.
- 48:47SPEAKER_02: You can watch it on John's website.
- 48:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah, go to uh go to John Schneider Studios.com and you can find it there.
- 48:58SPEAKER_02: It's a link to watch it.
- 49:00SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, he plays the bad guy in it.
- 49:02SPEAKER_02: And so I got to be friends with him once that really cool guy, just really.
- 49:06SPEAKER_02: I mean, just freaking jacked, man.
- 49:08SPEAKER_02: I mean, he had his his biceps and just the vein, I can still see it right now, just bulging out, just huge.
- 49:14SPEAKER_02: He was lifting weights, doing curls between sets, just yeah, boss, man.
- 49:19SPEAKER_02: He was huge.
- 49:22SPEAKER_01: What about the Dak Prescott fight in Panama City?
- 49:25SPEAKER_01: That was a big fight, wasn't it?
- 49:27SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was kind of one-sided, wasn't it?
- 49:30SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 49:32SPEAKER_00: Forgot about that.
- 49:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was crazy, man.
- 49:37SPEAKER_02: Yeah, crazy, but uh, yeah, there's been some good fights, really good, uh good fights.
- 49:43SPEAKER_02: What about UFC?
- 49:44SPEAKER_02: Lee you watch that any or what you know.
- 49:48SPEAKER_01: I watched a little bit of it.
- 49:50SPEAKER_01: I still watched a little bit of boxing.
- 49:51SPEAKER_01: I wore the Mike Tyson uh Sphinx fight, and that was a pretty good fight.
- 49:57SPEAKER_01: I was impressed with it.
- 49:58SPEAKER_01: Um, as far as UFC goes, I probably don't watch it as much.
- 50:02SPEAKER_01: I just kind of watched on my news feed on Facebook and stuff.
- 50:04SPEAKER_01: There's some really good fights out there, though, and the women are tough too, and that's pretty much put a whole new dynamic on it.
- 50:10SPEAKER_01: Um, there's some uh UFC, I tell you the competition level on UFC has definitely gone way up than what it was um you know back in the day when we first started watching it.
- 50:21SPEAKER_01: You know, guys like Connor McGregor and um you know many others.
- 50:28SPEAKER_01: I mean, Connor McGregor is not even probably in the top 10.
- 50:32SPEAKER_01: Um, but just some of these guys that are out there now, it's incredible, you know.
- 50:36SPEAKER_01: And um it's just it's it's it's totally different now than it was when it first started.
- 50:43SPEAKER_02: Yeah, one of one of the actresses in uh in Stand on It, she's also in Poker Run.
- 50:48SPEAKER_02: Also, her boyfriend is uh is Randy Couture.
- 50:51SPEAKER_02: Remember him.
- 50:54SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
- 50:55SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he was uh you know, I'll tell you my favorite my favorite moment in UFC history though was when uh Ken Shamrock was fighting Tito Ortiz and they had like a like a pre-fight um like interview and they got around to uh you gotta you need to Google this because Tito like Ken Shamrock gets up there and talks, and he basically told Tito Ortiz that if you're not prepared, that I'm going to kill you.
- 51:28SPEAKER_01: When he said that, Tito Ortiz just died out laughing, and Ken Shamrock got so mad and all red in the face, it was so funny.
- 51:36SPEAKER_01: And Tito Ortiz beat him three fights in a row.
- 51:40SPEAKER_01: Wow, I remember that.
- 51:42SPEAKER_01: Chuck Liddell, he was another good one.
- 51:44SPEAKER_01: I mean, Chuck Liddell was better than Conor McGregor, and I think Tito Ortiz was too, but Chuck Liddell was I don't know.
- 51:51SPEAKER_01: I think Chuck Liddell is probably my favorite.
- 51:54SPEAKER_01: Him or Silva.
- 51:57SPEAKER_00: I like Chuck Liddell because he he just looks like like a regular guy, and and all of a sudden he just like killing everybody.
- 52:05SPEAKER_02: Man, uh talking about fights, this is the movie doing that as far as boxing goes, the best boxing match I've ever seen.
- 52:17SPEAKER_01: Um, like in like there's some of the old fights I think were were better than the ones now, like the Mohabad Ali and George Foreman uh fights, as well as Joe Frazier.
- 52:27SPEAKER_01: But the best fight that I've ever seen live on TV was uh Buster Douglas and Mike Tyson.
- 52:34SPEAKER_03: Yep, yep.
- 52:35SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
- 52:36SPEAKER_00: I went back and watched that one the other day.
- 52:40SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 52:41SPEAKER_02: Did you watch the fight when Tyson bit bit uh Holy Field's ear off, or you watched that?
- 52:47SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but that really wasn't that good of a fight.
- 52:49SPEAKER_01: I mean, Tyson, I mean, it was pretty nasty.
- 52:52SPEAKER_01: I I saw I was over Steve McIntosh's house watching that.
- 52:58SPEAKER_01: And I think that was probably I was pop I I think my mama probably dropped me off when I was probably 15 years old.
- 53:04SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 53:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah, here's one that that's not uh not movie or you know, talking about bar fights talking about real fights though, as far as like around Jackson, the toughest bars, the best bar fights I've seen were that were like hornets nest type fights, where uh the Dutch bar and pops around the corner.
- 53:35SPEAKER_01: Pops.
- 53:35SPEAKER_01: I saw I I was around the corner in the corner one night, and yeah, and like it was me and a few, I'm not gonna name people off, but there's a bunch of people in there with me.
- 53:48SPEAKER_01: And it was about four in the morning, and a couple of guys got into it, and um it turned into a hornet's nest.
- 53:58SPEAKER_01: And I say a hornet's nest, like they were people that like there was there was probably well over a hundred bottles broken inside the bar, and people were knocked out, and then the JPD came rushing up in there and they were hitting people with nights sticks and stuff.
- 54:15SPEAKER_01: And basically, if you got knocked out, they're tossing you out the door and hauling you off in the paddy wagon, you're going to jail.
- 54:22SPEAKER_01: And I just got into a corner and like crouched up and basically fought my way out of it.
- 54:28SPEAKER_01: And like I ended up, I was able to walk out, and they're like all fighting in the parking lot, too.
- 54:34SPEAKER_01: And I could see all people getting loaded up and going to jail.
- 54:37SPEAKER_01: And I ended up just leaving.
- 54:40SPEAKER_01: But when I got back to where I was going, I got I had you know, I got my hair, and I like I like I like I like rubbed my hair and it cut my hands because there was so much glass in my hair from all the bottles being broken.
- 54:54SPEAKER_01: Oh man.
- 54:56SPEAKER_00: Well, it's it's hard to follow up with that one, man.
- 55:00SPEAKER_00: I think uh I think we ought to cut it off on that story because it's gonna be hard to beat that one.
- 55:06SPEAKER_02: So um, but Lee Van, we we appreciate you coming on and and um there is there is one mentioned real quick the uh the 97 egg bowl.
- 55:16SPEAKER_02: Do you remember that before the game started?
- 55:19SPEAKER_00: I don't remember that one.
- 55:21SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
- 55:22SPEAKER_02: Wes Shivers was the guy's name who's missing state for some.
- 55:24SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 55:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 55:28SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 55:29SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was awesome.
- 55:30SPEAKER_01: Where was that game played at, Blake?
- 55:33SPEAKER_02: It was uh it was in Starbucks.
- 55:35SPEAKER_01: That's what I thought.
- 55:37SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
- 55:38SPEAKER_01: They got to a big fight at Memorial Stadium too, didn't they?
- 55:41SPEAKER_02: Uh I think so.
- 55:42SPEAKER_02: I think so.
- 55:43SPEAKER_02: That that egg roll fight uh that I'm talking about with West Shivers, you can Google it and you'll see he has blood.
- 55:48SPEAKER_02: I mean he was a recruit standing on the sidelines, and all miss was taunting him.
- 55:52SPEAKER_02: And he just started going at it, and he ended up signing with state the next year.
- 55:55SPEAKER_02: But yeah, you can Google, he has blood all on his face.
- 55:57SPEAKER_02: It was I remember seeing that when I was a kid in the stands.
- 56:02SPEAKER_02: It was amazing.
- 56:03SPEAKER_02: So many cool fights.
- 56:04SPEAKER_02: But man, the the difference between these fights we're talking about, like the one you saw at pops around the corner and the movie fights.
- 56:11SPEAKER_02: Hey, they're really getting hurt in those.
- 56:16SPEAKER_01: I remember the dark part one time there had people with axe handles.
- 56:23unknown: Wow.
- 56:25SPEAKER_00: Wow.
- 56:26SPEAKER_00: Oh man.
- 56:28SPEAKER_00: All right, Lee.
- 56:30SPEAKER_00: Well, um, we appreciate it, man.
- 56:32SPEAKER_00: And um, I'm gonna close this out.
- 56:34SPEAKER_00: One thing just wanted to mention, we didn't mention this earlier, is uh we got a special discount code for folks.
- 56:39SPEAKER_00: Uh if you listen to Boneyard, uh Steve Robertson, we he's been advertising for us for the Johnny Packer shades.
