What is up, Bubba Army? Welcome back to another episode
0:11
of Tiggy and the Handler. It's been a hot minute since Jr.
0:15
and I recorded together. He's been out on the road
0:18
touring with Justin Moore. I've been out on the road
0:21
touring with the LSU Tigers. A good pit too.
0:24
And then our schedules just hat in the line.
0:26
But we are back at it together and we've got a fun one line up
0:30
for you. First up, we've got an update
0:33
from Blasey himself. Blasey, the one man posse.
0:36
Y'all remember him right? Well, I know you do.
0:40
And you remember the world record cornhole toss that we did
0:43
a year ago too. So we're going to reminisce a
0:45
little bit about that. We'll talk a little bit about
0:48
what he's been up to. Then we're going to dive into J
0:51
Rs random randomness segment, which is fun.
0:55
It's always a wild card. Have no idea what's going to
0:57
happen on that. And then of course, we've got
1:00
some hot topics to discuss, Bubba, Hulk Hogan, and even a
1:04
Joe Exotic bombshell. It's a packed show.
1:07
It's pretty damn packed show, Jr.
1:10
So we want to hear from you. I hope that you're enjoying both
1:13
of our solo shows that we've been dropping in between all of
1:17
these. Let us know on our socials.
1:19
Shoot us a message at tigsbits.com.
1:22
Tell us what you think. Jr. what is up?
1:25
It is good to see you, my brother.
1:27
Yes Sir, good to see you too buddy.
1:29
I'm pumped. I'm excited to hear about these.
1:31
This update from Blasey, I don't even know what it is yet.
1:34
I haven't heard it yet. So it's going to be new to me as
1:36
well. So I'm fired up about that.
1:38
Yeah, it's going to be fun to do a show.
1:39
Like I said, been been just running and gunning busy time of
1:42
the year. Hope everybody had a safe and
1:44
happy 4th of July. I know I sure did.
1:47
It was great to catch up with family and and get some downtime
1:50
in. I say downtime.
1:52
It was just as busy as working the whole time, but it was it
1:55
was fun. It was good.
1:56
It's good to get it in, but. That's right.
1:59
Yeah, it was good to get it in, but I'm I'm but I'm pumped about
2:02
that and, and and other stuff and to catch up on some of the
2:04
Bubba news. Got my Bubba shirt on day, got
2:06
my Air Bubba shirt on Rock'n'roll.
2:10
So, but yeah, I'm fired up. Let's do it.
2:12
Let's do a show. What's So what's up with Blasey?
2:16
I'm glad you asked. So of course this past Sunday
2:21
was the one year anniversary of of the world record cornhole
2:26
toss where our friend Mr. Hal Laird made a 90 foot 5 inch
2:33
cornhole toss, chunked it. Nothing but the bottom of the
2:36
net as I said, but. That's schedule the pride of
2:40
Freeport, FL the. Pride, the most controversial
2:45
man in Walton County. How was a really good wide
2:49
receiver in high school? Was he?
2:51
Not the passer, he was on the receiving end.
2:54
So it's for him to get the toss is kind of, I don't know, I
2:57
guess he knew how he would have liked it if he was running a
2:59
route, so he put it on the money, I guess.
3:01
He put it on the money he had. He had made several good throws.
3:04
He didn't, I don't know. I don't remember exactly how
3:06
many throws he made. Under 20 for sure.
3:10
And like, all 20 were right. Right on it.
3:13
Just right on it, you know? And I wasn't there, but I
3:16
remember you guys saying it's farther than it seems.
3:19
It's a heave to get it over. There, it's a heave.
3:21
It was man, it was but look, we had we had fun last night.
3:26
I, I, I streamed that live on all of our channels and there
3:31
was a, a lot of folks in the in the chat that that were
3:34
reminiscing and, and having fun and all of that, including
3:38
Blossy, the one man posse. It was a fun little show.
3:41
Y'all can go back and check it out.
3:43
It's still up on our Youtubes, all of our socials, but it's,
3:47
it's the show that we put out on right now TV last year back when
3:51
you and I and Blasey were doing insane things of recording like
3:55
3 shows a week, That was one of the weeks where we did one of
3:59
the the crazier things that we've done.
4:02
Blasey and I broke it down one night, live with the crowd and
4:06
everybody, and then the next night you weren't able to be
4:09
there. The next night you jumped in.
4:11
We recorded it again for for a TV show.
4:16
That's why I was telling Blasey when we talked last night.
4:18
I was like, that's the first time I've watched it back since
4:21
I sent it into TV. And I could tell we were still
4:26
enthusiastic, but not as much as we were prior to then.
4:30
And I remember why. We were just running ourselves
4:32
ragged for no reason. But you know, but we learned.
4:36
We live and we learn, you know, that's all part of.
4:39
It it was a it was a non paid education.
4:43
That's exactly right. I'll tell you what I've learned
4:46
from it though, and this was that.
4:49
Earlier last week I had a Tigs bit show with Mr. Weatherall and
4:53
I dropped it. It's prerecorded show, but I
4:56
dropped it live and man, I'll tell you what dude, doing that
5:00
is, is a lot of fun. And the main reason why is like
5:04
#1 I don't the, the guest. We don't have to worry about bad
5:08
Internet or going in and or in or out.
5:10
You know, if we have an issue, it's it's not not live, which I
5:14
can disrupt a show. I mean, it totally can.
5:17
I think guests that have been coming on, and I've already shot
5:20
it out to the next couple of guests that I have coming on, on
5:22
the Tigs bits. I was like, look, I mean we can
5:25
stick with the 7:30 live if you want to do that, or we could
5:29
prerecord this sucker just in case you're a little nervous
5:32
you're not seeing the chat pop up the whole time.
5:35
All of that plus #3 it allows me to actually be a lot more
5:41
engaged in the chat and have fun with it.
5:43
If it's pre recorded, I'm going to show up to all of these
5:46
shows. If it's a pre recorded one, I'm
5:48
still going to do live. We'll still do live, but it just
5:51
won't be every single week. Some of the mainly interviews
5:55
and things like that, I think it just makes it, it takes the
5:58
pressure off if it's not live, especially we're used to doing
6:02
it live. Some of these folks said I've
6:04
been having on the show, they're not used to, they've never done
6:07
a like cast or that, you know, it's like, right, this probably
6:11
would take some reservations away if I don't do it live, you
6:14
know? And the Internet thing's a big
6:16
thing, too, and you don't have to worry about Lowell and and
6:19
catching up. And if, you know there's
6:20
something that happened, you want to cut clip it out.
6:22
You know, that can clean up the audio.
6:25
That's right. So you can hear it better.
6:27
Yeah. I love it.
6:28
Hey, that's funny you said that because I was going to mention
6:30
that. So the other day.
6:32
I am in central Alabama for a post 4th of July with some
6:37
family and we were going to cook some flank steaks and make
6:41
fajitas and got them out and we had a Blackstone to use.
6:48
And I asked had you done it before?
6:50
And he they were like, we yeah, we just kind of threw something
6:52
together. I don't have a plan.
6:54
I said, huh, I've never really done flank steak on the griddle
6:57
but on Blackstone. But I'm sure I know a lot of my
7:02
circle of friends have, you know, that's right, a bunch of
7:05
our friends alley. So I was like who I was like,
7:07
who do I could I call? Should I shoot a text on the you
7:10
know, brothers text line or and then I thought, oh, I'll call
7:15
Tiggy. That's what he does.
7:16
I mean, he literally talks to people about cooking food all
7:19
the time. I said, that's a easy one right
7:21
there. I said, let me just call him.
7:22
Then I said, and right as I was about to start dialing your
7:24
number, looking for your name to call you, I thought, wait a
7:27
minute, what day is it? And I thought, I wonder if he's
7:29
doing a podcast. Let me just look on YouTube
7:31
before I call him right up in the middle of his deal, you
7:34
know, and sure enough, there it was it Mr. Weatherhall.
7:38
So I just start watching. I was in.
7:40
So I'm on the back porch. I just let it play, turn it up,
7:43
let it play. And I'm like, I'll check this
7:45
out for a minute. This will be cool.
7:46
Well, can't ask him about flank steak recipe on the griddle
7:49
right now, but I'll still watch for the show.
7:52
Check this out because I wanted to check this out anyway.
7:54
I forgot what day it was, you know, So I guess that was
7:56
whatever, Thursday, Wednesday or Thursday and.
8:00
Then and you totally could have because it was pre recorded and
8:03
I was. Just and I and then even once I
8:04
realized it, I was like, well, he's he's chilling, he's
8:07
watching the the the chat, he's interacting and stuff.
8:09
I'm not going to bother him on this, but I just came up with a
8:12
simple thing. We just did Dale's and then like
8:15
Taco seasoning and I just for about 3045 minutes and then
8:20
seared them good, checked them, you know, cut them up, fluffed
8:26
them back on there for a second or two, char up the edges.
8:28
And I mean, they were great Peppers ain't.
8:30
That's the whole deal. Perfect.
8:32
I mean you you nailed it. There's not the there.
8:34
I use allegro a lot. I like they Allegro has a lot of
8:39
different. They have game time.
8:40
They have hot and spicy is what I like.
8:42
It's not that spicy at all, but it it it has a little bit of
8:46
spice to it, but just I'll just put Dale's.
8:49
Yeah. I just love that that taste that
8:51
you get from fajitas, especially if they're done right and then
8:55
you. They were really good.
8:56
They were really good. Took the took the shells, put
8:59
them on the griddle for a minute, fluffed them.
9:01
All right. They were.
9:02
They were really good. Yeah, it was really good.
9:04
Fresh avocado, lime. But yeah, so I but it had me
9:08
fooled. I thought it was live.
9:09
I thought it was totally live for a minute until you started
9:12
talking to me. Like, what does he do?
9:13
I said wait a minute. And then I remembered you admit
9:16
you had talked about doing that the other week when we talked.
9:18
And I was like, oh, OK, well, it's working fine.
9:20
Everybody's hanging out, this is cool.
9:22
And you get and you get to chit chat and really, you know, watch
9:25
the show and talk to people and stuff.
9:26
Yeah, I think it's better because I get to interact a
9:28
little bit more. I mean, I know that folks
9:30
probably like having their name pop up and stuff like that as
9:33
they're in the chat. I get it, I get that too.
9:36
That still will happen. But I mean, from a standpoint of
9:40
of everything that's going on with me.
9:42
I've shared some of this on the Tigs Bit show.
9:44
This is predominantly a Bubba Army show that we're doing here
9:48
tonight, but my dad's not doing real well.
9:51
And being able to do without going too deep into all that
9:56
without, you know, being able to have pre recorded shows and
10:00
being able to put several shows in the can is going to be
10:03
something that's going to be pretty damn necessary for me for
10:06
the next few months probably. So you so that's a it's a great
10:11
thing. I mean, I'm not bringing it to
10:13
be a downer, but it's I mean that that alone that hey, I've
10:17
tried doing that before. I know no one out there
10:19
listening to this cares, but it it's just it's like, holy cow, a
10:23
complete breakthrough for the show.
10:25
It sounds silly, but it's really not because we could start to
10:28
paste more and more content on my channel, on your channel,
10:32
combining them, doing Tiggy and the Handlers, all of that.
10:36
It's just going to make everything flow a hell of a lot
10:39
better. But your question was about
10:41
Blasey and how that all came in, all of that.
10:44
It ties into all of that with how it all, how it all got in,
10:51
got in there. Well, we first of all, right, as
10:54
soon as the show ended last night, he called me and he
10:59
watched it. He was in the chat hanging with
11:01
us. We were all, we were all
11:02
chatting it up during it and he called, he's like, dude, that
11:06
was so much fun. And you know, it got him fired
11:08
up And I kind of had a feeling it would.
11:12
And so he broke out some stuff in the chat.
11:16
If you were in there, you'll know a little bit more, but but
11:19
we're we're working. He's working still on some
11:22
things. We want to do it again.
11:24
Bottom line, something like it some other type of event there
11:28
at props. It's just too damn good of a
11:30
place. So that's probably going to
11:33
happen when who knows? Probably not this summer.
11:36
We're about to be all be so busy, but maybe next spring or
11:39
or summer, early summer, we can do another type of an event
11:44
there which that would be fun. It's basically warm all year
11:49
long down there. Oh, it's perfect.
11:51
A few weeks here and there to avoid but.
11:54
Yeah, I mean, look at Bud, it's I'm getting so busy during the
11:57
winter and the fall and football season, all that football
12:00
season's a no go. Not not this year.
12:03
So it'll be it'd be it'd be 2026 really before I I know that I
12:07
could do anything. But that's OK That that's that's
12:10
fine. But we definitely have to do
12:13
something. And Brad Johnson may even be
12:15
involved in something place he's been talking to to big bad Brad
12:21
can't reveal some things there, but be on the lookout.
12:24
You're going to be hearing and seeing a little bit more from
12:27
him. Talked about maybe doing a new
12:30
breaking a new world record at the same time, maybe with Brad
12:35
Johnson. We've talked a little bit about
12:37
that. So we'll we'll see, we'll see.
12:40
But but got to catch up on him. His job's going well.
12:43
I think he's finally able to bring his head just a little bit
12:47
above water, peek above and wave at us and say hello.
12:51
Of course. I'm like, dude, you can, you
12:53
know, anytime you want to come on, we can just do a Thursday
12:56
Night Live and just hang out. No agenda.
12:59
We'll just shoot the shit. Talk to people in the chat.
13:02
See what you've been up to. Like we got plenty to talk
13:05
about. People would love, I love it
13:07
saying of course everybody loves having him in the in the chat
13:10
when he shows up, so. Talk some like.
13:12
I said I told yes, talk some Bubba if he's been listening and
13:16
knows some stuff, like we need him and I'm sure he's got talk.
13:20
About even if he's been listening minimal, I'm sure he's
13:22
got some takes on some some. Value, You know he does, you
13:26
know he does. And I'm going to out him for a
13:28
second. He probably wouldn't want me to
13:30
say this, but I don't care. He ain't in here.
13:33
So he was like, man, you know, I had my bag that I, my Rd. bag
13:38
that he had all of his mics and stuff in.
13:40
I had that road bag and I was, you know, looked over there in
13:43
the corner and basically opened it up.
13:47
And he hadn't been out into his studio in a while.
13:49
He had unplugged the air conditioner, plugged the air
13:52
conditioner back in, swept the studio up, plugged in a couple
13:56
of lights, set the microphones back up and I was like, Oh yeah,
14:01
he's itching, He's itching. I knew he would be and I was
14:05
hoping he would be and I just, he's just been busy.
14:08
But yeah, I think Blasey's going to be coming on at some point.
14:11
Ladies and gentlemen. I don't know if it'll be on a
14:14
Tiggy in the Handler or Tigs Bits, or handler probably will
14:18
just be alive on Tigs Bits one night, but if it if it's good
14:22
enough it'll trickle over I. Don't know it's it's got the
14:25
drama quality there. It almost needs to be a bubble
14:28
exclusive. I think it should be a bubble
14:30
exclusive. I agree 100%.
14:32
Like whatever the hell it is I think y'all agree y'all Send us
14:35
a message. Find us on Twitter wherever you
14:38
listen, or watch this at, let us know.
14:40
We'll get we'll get Seth to send us a little video on his phone
14:45
saying Blossy one man posse. What the hell happened to you?
14:49
Where you been? You know, we'll get we'll get,
14:52
we'll get everybody to we'll make it a thing.
14:54
These these. These assholes are just limping
14:57
along just doing their own solo shit like like the Eagles need
15:02
to get back together and play a concert every now and then.
15:05
Right, right. I mean, the way you we got to
15:08
get Blossy back down there to the, when they do the the games
15:12
at the, when they go to the minor League Baseball games down
15:14
there. Yes.
15:17
We need to get him back. We need to get him back in that
15:18
form. We're going to take baby steps,
15:21
Blasey, if you're listening to this, just baby steps.
15:24
Just come on alive one night. Nothing.
15:25
No pressure. No pressure, no prep, nothing.
15:28
Just show up. We'll have fun.
15:31
We'll make it happen. We'll make it happen.
15:34
Well, that's kind of that's what's been going on with him
15:37
Jr., so I know. That's good.
15:39
Yeah, I knew. I knew he'd been working a lot
15:41
because he hadn't even been. We're on a text thread together
15:43
and he barely chimes in there, and he's been a little bit more
15:45
lately, and I just figured that he's just been slammed with
15:48
work. Last time we talked to us what
15:50
he said. Yep, no doubt.
15:53
Well, what do you what do you have for us this week with
15:56
random randomness? Man, I had so many random
16:01
randomness earlier and I I was just like, I can't, there's too
16:04
many and then it starts going down conspiracy lane.
16:07
You know, it's like I keep seeing this video pops up so
16:10
ever often. Why NASA?
16:11
Why does it? Why don't why don't we explore
16:13
the ocean bottom? Why does NASA not explore that?
16:15
And I was like, I can't go down conspiracy Rd. because that'll
16:17
just take a sound thing. But I thought a random
16:20
randomness that I thought about the other day and I'm talking to
16:24
somebody that came up once or twice over the past week or two
16:26
is like celebrity culture and celebrities in general.
16:30
Are there more now than ever or has there always or is it
16:35
proportionate still the same as it was to population?
16:38
Obviously we have about double the population we had say 50-60
16:42
years ago. Is it just more because of that?
16:44
But it seems to me like, and I guess it's levels, but there
16:48
always has been and there's such a reach now because of the
16:51
Internet that but see, there were global stars back in the
16:55
day too, before you had all that.
16:57
I think it's 100. I think there's 100% more
17:01
celebrities now. Even per ratio.
17:04
Yeah. Just for inflation.
17:06
I mean, you know, there's people, people that I follow on
17:10
social media that have millions of followers.
17:13
They're not certainly not a celebrity, but if they would
17:15
have had a million followers in the 1990s, they sure as hell
17:19
would have been considered a. Yeah, that's what it seems like.
17:23
It seems like there's a lot because there's celebrities in
17:25
every subculture now. It's not just you're famous if
17:28
you're a musician, an athlete, a movie star, a television star,
17:33
you know, certain things even like celebrity chefs and stuff,
17:38
you know, I mean, think of the whole culture built around that
17:40
now. And that wasn't until, you know,
17:44
Emeril and those guys and you know, Justin Wilson before that
17:47
on, on public television and stuff.
17:50
But it wasn't a, it wasn't a, they weren't, you know, multi
17:54
millionaires off of their like name, name, image, likeness like
17:57
they are now. And I, I, I think it is.
17:59
And I'm wondering it's, you know, I'm just like, how did it
18:01
get to that? Is it just because of the
18:03
Internet or is it because people want more?
18:06
Or there's just, you know, I. Think no, I think that that's
18:09
that's his. It's not a conspiracy or of any
18:11
sort. There's no like wrong answer or
18:13
like side to take. It's just like, I wonder how it
18:16
got because it seems like there's a lot and people every
18:20
sub genre of everything. There are fanatical people about
18:23
that, where maybe it used to not be, you know, if you're.
18:26
It's 100% because of social media.
18:29
I can give you an example. It's funny that you bring this
18:31
up because I literally was thinking about this.
18:34
I heard a song coming back from the gym.
18:37
I was driving my wife's car. She's always listening to the
18:40
pop station. That's what you know, Riley and
18:42
and all that. It's still on the radio on the
18:44
pop station and short little track.
18:48
So whatever. I don't ever turn it.
18:49
I'll just that's I will only way really and truly that I know.
18:53
What are popular songs like that?
18:56
I don't know the charts. I hear stuff, but I'm not
18:59
following along. I think she is.
19:01
This girl is a perfect example. Tate McRae, she, she's just like
19:08
everywhere and I see her everywhere on social media.
19:12
Granted, it's obvious that I've clicked on her, so I keep
19:16
putting it in my algorithm. She's pretty damn easy on the
19:19
eyes, let's be honest. But I was thinking I've listened
19:25
to some of her songs and I mean, I get it.
19:27
I'm not being an old man shaking my fist at the clouds or
19:31
anything. I I get why she she's good and
19:34
she can dance, that's for damn sure.
19:35
She's very talented, but how good of a singer is she really
19:39
like she she plays with that auto tune stuff that she may be
19:43
a marvelous singer, I don't know.
19:45
But it's all masked into that whole vibe, which is probably to
19:49
help her because she is a pop star and she's out of breath
19:53
when she's live. I mean, how can you not be?
19:55
She's dancing like like she does but.
19:57
I don't know. James Brown did it.
20:00
That's true. He's in.
20:01
He was on cocaine and he's an anomaly A.
20:04
Complete. Anomaly.
20:06
Jackson did it. Sammy Davis.
20:08
Judy did it. Yeah, that's true.
20:10
Justin Timberlake can do it. True, Tate McRae is doing it.
20:14
I don't know if she's singing live or not, but she is.
20:17
But she's everywhere. No, it definitely is hard.
20:19
How could? You could you imagine running
20:20
in? Could you imagine running in
20:21
place and singing the national anthem?
20:23
Think how hard that would be. Not a chance.
20:25
I'd do it for an hour and a half, two hours.
20:27
I I've mentioned it before, but it's still always hilarious to
20:30
me. My my sister loves to bring it
20:32
up because I went to see Milli Vanilli whenever they were in
20:36
their in their heyday doing their deal just before their
20:40
they were busted. It was after actually just goes
20:44
to the point they did for sure. They had a damn sword fight on
20:49
the stage, all of that. They were doing backflips, bro.
20:52
It was crazy. It was unbelievable.
20:55
I had a blast. And then after the show we were
20:58
driving back and daddy's like, I don't think they were really
21:02
singing Brantley and I went who cares?
21:05
I didn't I was like I I didn't figure anybody doing a sword
21:09
fight was singing. Little did I know that it wasn't
21:12
actually they weren't even actually the singers of the
21:15
song. But but whatever hell of an
21:18
entertainment is still a great show.
21:20
I mean, I had a good time and I got, you know, but.
21:24
Truly no different than DJ. Yeah.
21:27
Exactly. And they don't make the music.
21:30
Well, and nowadays people lip sync all the time.
21:32
I'm not going to accuse Miss McRae of that, but I'm sure she
21:35
has. May not.
21:37
And some of those, some of those, some of those, some
21:39
things require you to they will not you have to play a pre
21:42
recorded thing, right? You know, there's the famous,
21:44
there's the famous Alan Jackson at the award show with his
21:47
drummer with no drumsticks playing drums.
21:49
Because yeah. They they won't that he wouldn't
21:51
let them. They wouldn't let them play
21:52
live, you know, but and yeah, with the with didn't.
21:57
Didn't care. Wasn't it Karen Carpenter that
21:59
like ate a banana or something where they had to do it on BBC
22:03
or could be making it everything?
22:04
Else something like there's something.
22:05
Like she's just like eating a banana or one somebody, Yeah.
22:10
I get it. Yeah, it was.
22:12
The Mama and the Papas. The Mama and the Papas maybe.
22:14
Yeah, yeah, whatever. Whoever it was.
22:17
But. But yeah, so you have to some,
22:19
but yeah. And then there are definitely
22:20
some who are doing it just to cover up because they can't
22:23
actually sing. So we hope she's not the latter
22:26
and she's the other. But yeah.
22:30
If she Can't Sing, she's just, she looks good enough and she's
22:32
young enough, she'll just be an actress.
22:34
You know, they'll they're going to.
22:36
But she's marketable, which is why she's doing so well.
22:39
She seems like, I mean, I like her.
22:41
I have no problems with tape McRae, but that's just to to
22:45
serve your point. I don't know if Tape McRae is
22:48
popular in the 1990s when you have Paula Abdul and folks like
22:54
that. Like she isn't different enough
22:57
that she could have separated herself back then.
23:00
But I do think because of the way that she looks and because
23:03
of social media that she is able to have a platform that's a hell
23:07
of a lot stronger with skin care products and stuff like that.
23:12
Like she's the ultimate influencer.
23:14
Well, that's what the thing too that got that was one of my
23:16
other ones. I had questions.
23:17
Why? Why are we one of the only
23:18
countries that allows pharmaceuticals to advertise on
23:21
television? And that made me think because
23:25
it's advertising is so big. If you round, if you rounded up
23:28
all of the numbers, not just from what people get paid to
23:31
make advertisement or slots on on airspace, but every tentacle
23:36
of it, how much it involved. I wonder what percentage of our
23:40
country the, you know, money comes out of just things
23:43
involved with advertising at some level, marketing and
23:45
advertising. You know what I mean?
23:48
And it's all a machine and it's all just trying to be hooky and,
23:51
and the strongest and the most, I mean hire the greatest mind
23:57
people in the world to try to trick somebody into paying more
24:01
for something they don't really. Need yes, it's all a scam.
24:04
Everything it's. All a scam.
24:05
It's like everything, all of the money in the world is is on
24:08
their side to try to convince you and you're just little OU
24:11
trying to not get convinced it is.
24:14
Think about it that way. It's tough.
24:16
I don't want the snack wrap from McDonald's.
24:18
You sons of bitches. Quit.
24:20
Quit making it so quit on my app.
24:22
Quit. Quit telling me that you can go
24:24
get one and a free medium prize. Yeah.
24:28
It just never stops. All of it never stops.
24:30
Well, it ain't going to stop. There ain't no doubt about that.
24:34
It ain't never going to stop, as William Montgomery says.
24:37
But yeah, well, that's random for sure.
24:40
But dude, yeah. I listened to Rogan had Lucas
24:43
Nelson on the other day and he had to go.
24:45
He's like, turn off the news, you know, you know, he, he had,
24:48
they had a great conversation if anybody wants.
24:50
Something else I've saw that he's been on there.
24:53
I haven't made it. I'm still on listening to the
24:56
dude breaking down AI and I've had to go back and listen to it
24:59
like more than once. Not the whole show, but just the
25:03
first like 20 minutes. It's so damn mind blowing and I
25:06
don't know, I can't remember his name.
25:08
He's, it sounds Russian, I'm not sure, but wow, it makes you
25:14
think like AI could, AI basically could manipulate you
25:18
and it I mean, it does manipulate you.
25:20
You have to tell it not to, pretty much.
25:22
That's what I'm saying. Everything is trying to.
25:25
Unbelievable. It is well enough of that random
25:29
randomness. This next part is not so random.
25:34
There's been a lot of noise lately about Hulk Hogan's
25:38
health, and a lot of that noise has been coming from our good
25:42
friend Bubba the Love Sponge Brother and oh.
25:47
Brother. Everybody's wanting to know how
25:52
is old Hulk? How is the Hulkster?
25:54
The mainstream, the lamestream media is out there saying that
25:58
he's just fine. It's the lamestream media.
26:02
Everybody knows that they're a joke, especially CNN, but
26:08
they're out there. He's recovering from surgery.
26:11
It's been a month pretty much at this point since Bubba first
26:15
broke the story until now. And there's a lot has developed
26:19
in between. I thought we should just break
26:22
it down. Let Bubba explain to us and and
26:27
and the. New stuff today with the the sky
26:29
saying the stuff about. I mean exactly.
26:32
It's like, well, that's what we said and there's no picture.
26:34
So I, I, you know, as much as he's, he was on before this, if
26:39
they're, I mean, he would have done it from the bedside with a
26:41
thumbs up or something, you would think.
26:43
Yeah, for sure, for sure. And I know that everybody out
26:47
there knows the story. And now that I know you know the
26:50
story too, we're not going to watch this first one which just
26:54
lays out the story. Of course, the Hulkster, if
26:57
you're listening to this and you're not familiar with it and
27:00
it's on, it's, this is on the Tigs Bits channel.
27:03
Some folks may not be as familiar with with Hulk's story,
27:07
but basically he had surgery and, and, and they'll just let
27:14
Bubba explain. I think it's just easier just to
27:17
let Bubba explain. They are allegedly they're now
27:21
worried about the hearts, not the issue, it's the expelling of
27:25
the carbon dioxide. And they don't know how long he
27:29
went before that was diagnosed. They don't know how long his
27:32
brain went without good clean oxygen and they don't know what
27:36
his brain condition is. Meaning like they don't know if
27:40
the damage that it did is repairable.
27:43
Do they not know if there was damage, if any, that can recover
27:47
from? Or do they know already there's
27:48
a baseline? They don't know if any OK?
27:50
Like they know that he when he comes in and out of
27:53
consciousness, that he's hallucinating.
27:55
Everything's fuzzy. He doesn't have his sorts about
27:57
himself. He's coherent.
27:59
He's just very confused, not in any condition to be in the
28:04
public eye, don't even know that he's capable of standing on his
28:08
own reasoning, understanding anything.
28:12
We make a 5. Hope we draw the.
28:13
Jesse Waters tonight, No, Dan once said 246 at 2 minutes if
28:18
your brain has been completely starved of oxygen and we don't
28:21
know that this is what completely happened to Hogan.
28:24
So you're just talking generally this 246?
28:26
246 is general. At 2 minutes you're going to
28:29
have some type of damage that potentially might be like a
28:34
stroke. Like at 4 minutes you are on the
28:37
borderline of being Terri Schiavo, meaning like you're
28:41
awake and you're blurt but your brain is mush and at 6 minutes
28:45
you're dead. So yeah, I mean, what actually
28:49
what actually happened is in mid June, he was hospitalized for a
28:54
significant neck and back issues stemming from his long history
29:00
of spinal surgeries. And then he had he had recently
29:04
undergone a neck fusion procedure, which is team
29:08
described as successful. No signs of coma, brain damage,
29:13
heart failure or anything. And even Hogan has said that
29:17
he's had like 25 surgeries between 2014 and 2024, including
29:24
at least 10 on his back, plus knee, hip and shoulder.
29:29
I mean, you know, the wear and tear of, of that about that
29:33
business is yeah, it is. And and of course, what the the
29:38
heat came from TMZ. The the the New York, I think
29:45
the New York Post had a story about Bubba because, because
29:50
Bubba has been saying what he's saying, you know, like, let's
29:54
just hear a little bit more. I mean, you know, like he says,
29:56
they're worried about his heart and.
29:59
We don't know who Bubba Source is, do we?
30:02
We don't know who Bubba's source is, but I can tell you this,
30:05
whoever's Bubba's source would, would freaking know.
30:10
It's an insider, you know, I mean, you know, with their
30:12
relationship and the friend friendship that they've had
30:15
ain't no. Doubt he's telling somebody
30:17
something. Hope.
30:18
I hope he's wrong. I mean, I hope.
30:20
I hope he's wrong too, but it's interesting.
30:23
And it's. And if not, then why isn't it?
30:24
Why are we not checking only? Why are we not making sure
30:26
everybody's praying for Hogan? Exactly, Exactly because every
30:30
they've swept it under the road, right?
30:32
We're getting Intel that he's still in ICU.
30:36
Yes, he is. He's still in intensive care,
30:39
yes, so and he can post all he wants and he can say that he's
30:43
going to be at karaoke on Monday, but he wasn't there last
30:46
two nights ago and he was supposed to be at Armature works
30:49
yes, on the 4th and Jimmy Hart and Nick Hogan went and now he's
30:53
been in he now he's now been in ICU for over a month.
30:57
He's been in ice. See you going on six weeks,
31:00
regardless if it's a complication of your neck and
31:04
back surgery, regardless if it's a heart valve issue, regardless
31:08
if it's a carbon monoxide issue where you can't expel that from
31:12
you, which they feel that that might have created some brain
31:15
damage when you're in ICU for going on now the second month,
31:20
that can't be good. I don't know if we'll ever see
31:22
Hogan again. Well, I mean, you know, six
31:25
weeks in ICU, you think one day he's just going to get up, RIP
31:28
out Elvis cords and, you know, start training buys and tries.
31:31
He's gonna hook up. He's not on life support.
31:34
We don't know what he, we don't know what he's on.
31:36
I'm assuming he's not on life support.
31:39
I like lummies. I hope he hooks up.
31:44
Yeah, I love that. But yeah.
31:45
It's hard. I mean, you'd think they would
31:47
have said something. There would have been some kind
31:49
of statement. There would have been a post,
31:50
there would have been a picture something.
31:52
Because as much as he's in the public spotlight and, and, and
31:56
so many businesses and partnerships and branding
31:59
things, I saw in some of the comments on, on one of the, on
32:04
that last on this post right here that they're opening a new
32:10
something in, in Kentucky he's involved with and supposed to be
32:14
there next week. Someone was saying, but no one's
32:17
saying they saw him in the past anytime soon, anytime lately.
32:21
I think somebody needs to ask, ask the the press secretary,
32:27
Trump's press secretary, like. I bet they get an answer.
32:31
I bet they get an answer like what's up with Hulk?
32:34
This isn't needs to be. We need to somehow or another
32:37
get this up. Maybe our friend Kurt Bardella
32:40
could could get this done for us.
32:43
He's a wrestling. Fan Yeah, we might have to go
32:46
all the way to the White House. This one we got to get it
32:48
figured out. We need to know what the Hell's
32:50
happening is I, I believe that we're being fooled and that,
32:54
that, that this is, this is, I think the Hulkster's in trouble,
32:59
man. I do too, unfortunately.
33:01
But of course, here was a statement from Sky.
33:05
My husband had a major surgical procedure.
33:08
He is not in a coma. We have been in and out of the
33:12
hospital for recovery. Thank you for the thoughts and
33:16
prayers. We appreciate it and we are home
33:18
now. And that was as of July the
33:21
11th, 2025. But let's hear what Bubba had to
33:25
say about that actually today. In my opinion, he's got a
33:29
significant neurological problem and he's not bouncing back
33:32
because he's old. Bubba, there's, there's been a
33:33
lot of comments too over the weekend that I saw that said it
33:36
looked like you're right because if you weren't right, he would
33:38
sue you. Well, he would just come out
33:40
with this. Not only that, but but Hogan's
33:42
attorneys know my attorneys. Yeah.
33:44
And very well. Good relationship for sure to
33:47
pick up the phone and get things done.
33:49
Only a phone call away and we've not been handed any 770 notice
33:54
or anything at all that what we've been reported is
33:57
slanderous, liable, not true defaming.
34:01
We haven't received any of that. And we've said the whole time we
34:03
hope we're wrong. Please tell us if we're we're
34:05
wrong. But none of that disputed what
34:07
you said, right? It just confirmed that he's had
34:09
an unusually long hospitalization and admission by
34:13
her own statement for a procedure which according to any
34:16
research by any doctor would be a one to three day
34:19
hospitalization with a recovery, a full recovery and six months.
34:23
His family's work in the gimmick and they should be transparent
34:26
because it's going to look better for him and his legacy
34:29
wherever this goes to have baby faced on this rather than to
34:33
have been uninformative, not transparent, and flat out lied
34:38
for his brand. I mean, look, it's been a damn
34:40
month pretty much, and there's been no and, and the holster was
34:46
everywhere from November or October, whenever the Republican
34:52
National Convention deal was. And all those because.
34:55
He's selling those beer. Beer.
34:57
Yeah, all those beer, all the Beer Store pictures and him
34:59
pulling up and then people complain because he was late and
35:01
didn't stay long and all that. But there was plenty of of video
35:06
and and fan footage. His up.
35:09
Until not too long ago. Not not so well received WWE
35:15
appearance where he did not do did not do well, was booed and
35:22
pretty much, you know, just hey, the Hulksters in the decline.
35:28
Now I know On the contrary side of this is that I always have
35:31
played the contrarian whenever we've had Blasey on here to
35:35
explain the Bubba position so eloquently like only he can do.
35:42
But is this just Bubba trying to get some more clicks out of
35:44
this? Because I don't I I thought
35:46
maybe initially sure, ride that wave, but after a month I don't
35:51
think it is. I think he truly has some inside
35:53
information that no one else is Privy to.
35:56
I do too, and everybody's keeping it at breast except for
36:00
somebody who's leaking it to Bubba.
36:01
Maybe probably 3rd or 4th down the chain somehow bouncing
36:05
around, but yeah. Yeah, well, that is going on.
36:10
We'll see what the hell happens with with the Hulkster.
36:14
Thoughts and prayers for the Hulkster.
36:16
I mean, he, he's a American hero in a sense, and just a.
36:21
Big part of our childhood, man, He he whether you know, we
36:25
didn't know about all the back, you know, the politics and the
36:27
business side of it. But as far as wrestling, when he
36:29
was at the top, wrestling was on fire.
36:31
He brought it mainstream to everybody's homes.
36:34
It was good timing for everyone. But yeah, Hulkster and, and you
36:38
know, his message of say your prayers, take your vitamins, you
36:40
know, do good brother. You know, that was, that was
36:43
good at the time. It was great.
36:45
And yeah, prayers. Hope he's hope he pulls through
36:47
and hope Bubba can update us on that.
36:49
And I'd love for them to have a reunion.
36:52
I I just, I hope they can figure a way to just, oh, I wish they
36:54
could just figure even if they don't even record it, somebody
36:56
just says, you know, Bubba and Hulk got to go sit at a, you
37:01
know, a park for an hour and catch up and they hugged it out
37:04
and their buddies. Nobody filmed it or anything.
37:06
It was just them. That would be amazing.
37:07
Wouldn't. It I think Bubba would want
37:09
that. I think, I think Bubba would be
37:11
totally OK with that. And, you know, just it's, it's,
37:16
it's very. Old running buddies running on
37:18
down the road, getting towards the end of the tracks, you know,
37:20
just to one last, you know. Yeah.
37:23
Bro bro love deals. There's no reason for us to you
37:26
know, we lot of lot of lot of dumb shit that we both did, but
37:31
let's let's hug it out. We can be friends moving
37:34
forward. Let's let's not, let's not do
37:37
that again. But let's be Bros.
37:41
Yeah, let's let everybody know we're cool.
37:43
That way, if something does happen and we're not here,
37:45
everybody's not fighting on our behalf when we're gone, when
37:47
really we would have. It was over, you know?
37:50
Right. Exactly, exactly.
37:52
Well, Speaking of fighting on people's behalf, it's been a
37:58
month pretty much since you and I've been able to record a show.
38:01
So lots happened in the Bubba universe and we got to dive into
38:05
podcasts. We'll have to do that in our in
38:07
our next show. But but hell, he had he had Bill
38:12
O'reilly's been on the show since in the last month.
38:16
Plus he had freaking Joe Exotic and Joe Exotic, the Tiger King
38:23
dropped some dropped a little a little nugget here.
38:27
I don't know if you saw this. Listen to this.
38:29
Not my Internet TV show. I never threatened her.
38:33
You know, we did some some scripted skits, you know, where
38:36
I shot a blow up sex doll and and we, you know, we've done
38:39
some pretty crazy in order to get people to watch the show to
38:42
to make money for the zoo. That's.
38:44
Not illegal. And that's that's all parody.
38:46
That's all parody and hyperbole. I never even verbally threatened
38:49
Carol. About you are solely in prison
38:52
for murder for hire because the guy that ended up being trying
38:56
to take, Oh well, we'll end up taking all of your stuff.
38:59
Jeff, his hired gun, his assistant or whatever told a
39:03
federal agent that you had a conversation that you wanted him
39:06
to kill Carol. That's all they got.
39:08
That's all they got. Wow.
39:09
To me, Joe, you know, I would think that they'd have far more
39:12
than that to put you away for 22 years.
39:15
If you look at my website, joeexoticofficial.com on the
39:18
evidence link, we have their telephones now.
39:21
They've turned over their telephones and you know, all of
39:24
the people that were working for the government were recording
39:26
the federal agents at the same time just for a rainy day.
39:29
And you know, when they took the zoo away from Jeff, then they
39:32
all turned on the feds and turned over their cell phones.
39:35
Well, now we have 700 plus phone recordings of the federal agents
39:39
telling them how to and how to manufacture evidence in order to
39:43
put me away. But you know, this whole thing
39:45
was politically motivated with Carol Baskin and Kamala Harris
39:49
in order to pass the Big Cat Safety Act.
39:51
So it would make it illegal to own a tiger in America except
39:55
for the Global Federation, I don't know Sanctuaries, which is
39:58
Carol's organization. Wow.
40:00
Yeah, I saw a little bit of that, but I didn't get the whole
40:03
thing. Interesting.
40:04
Wouldn't surprise me. It wouldn't surprise me either.
40:08
I just thought, look, and I mean, I mean, I watched all of
40:11
the Tiger King. I mean, great.
40:14
Timing, again, great timing during COVID.
40:17
Perfect timing, perfect timing and just wild.
40:20
And he's such a character. There's no doubt.
40:24
But I don't think he would. Yeah, I I think that I think
40:28
Trump should should free Joe Exotic.
40:31
He should be pardoned. I don't.
40:33
Yeah, I don't really think that he I I believe him and basically
40:37
he's what I'm saying. I like, I just don't know.
40:40
I don't have much of an opinion on Joe Exotic beyond he was a he
40:44
was a great Halloween costume for sure.
40:48
I saw some of the best ones in 20/20/20 whenever or 2021
40:54
whenever it was with with that. But yeah, I mean, what a wild
41:01
deal. And I've never, and I've
41:03
listened to him on other shows and others other things as well.
41:07
I never thought that that he killed those tigers out of
41:12
maliciousness or to, you know, he, he was euthanizing them
41:17
because they were old or they were, you know, it wasn't like
41:20
he was just, and it, it's, it's not like the Michael Vick dog
41:25
fighting deal where, you know, I mean, he was burying dogs back
41:30
there and they dug those up. Well, that that's a little
41:33
different. That's a little different.
41:35
I think everybody deserves a second chance.
41:37
Michael Vick's gotten a second chance.
41:39
I think what he did was worse than what Joe Exotic was doing
41:43
with tigers. Honestly I think it was way
41:46
worse. And he's the only one that end
41:47
up in trouble. Well, I did see the dock and
41:49
toll guy just got in trouble for something non related to that.
41:52
But some some big deal. But all those Carol Bask all
41:55
those peoples were criminals. It seemed like to me.
41:57
Do some digging. All these people are criminals.
41:59
Everybody who works there is probably criminals.
42:00
There's a lot of good people trying to do good and they all
42:02
the just criminals at the top. It's a messed up nut nut jobs,
42:08
Florida, Miller, Oklahoma, wherever I'm like, good Lord,
42:11
this is where we got this, where these brain surgeons here are
42:14
the ones in charge. All this we're just going to
42:16
give all these people the tigers and lions.
42:18
Oh my. How the hell that?
42:21
How the hell? That Joe Exotic walks in the
42:23
damn place to get his big tiger, big cat license to have big cat.
42:28
That guy walks in the building and you told me you're going to
42:30
tell me you gave him a license? Carol Bat Carol Baskin shows up
42:34
on her golf cart looking like she does, acting like she does.
42:37
Shows up in the Florida deal to get her a permit to have 50
42:41
tigers and lions at her house. And somebody said, yeah, this
42:44
sounds like a good idea. We'll give this lady a a thing.
42:47
Before. Before she killed her husband.
42:50
Yeah. Crazy.
42:51
Allegedly. Allegedly.
42:53
Yeah. It's nuts, dude.
42:57
It is nuts. Well, thanks for the
43:01
entertainment, as always, Bubba. Always Bubb's.
43:05
We love you big fella. Yes, Sir.
43:07
Yes, Sir, we do. We do.
43:09
Lummy, Seth, Doctor, Dan, all you guys, Jean Lasker, everybody
43:13
good, good show over there. I catch as much as I can.
43:16
Good show, Keep up the good work, everybody.
43:18
Hold it down. Florida style baby.
43:20
They do it, they do it well, I'll watch some this morning.
43:23
Of course, some tropical stuff may be heading our way later in
43:28
the week, maybe maybe here by the time y'all heard it hear
43:31
this, but I don't think it's going to be anything major.
43:35
But they're already on top of it.
43:36
They had it in the quad box on there with the radar and one
43:41
little screen and the and Fox weather and another screen like
43:45
all right, we're getting it's that time of year.
43:48
Weatherman Bubba's coming. I love it when I love it when
43:52
weatherman Bubba starts to show up.
43:54
You know that. Well, well, let's move on to our
43:58
last little segment, Jr. and something that I think is always
44:02
fun. I've got some fun questions I'll
44:04
answer to and we never know where this is going, what this
44:08
is going to stir up because it's just kind of fun.
44:10
And I didn't put much thought into my answers whatsoever or
44:15
what I just I got the questions and I've kind of thought about
44:18
it a little bit. So it may take you a second, but
44:21
what is a food that's always mid no matter who makes it?
44:30
Just average, You know, something that you think is
44:34
supposed to be good or whatever, but it's just it's always mid.
44:40
Usually just something like a like a, some kind of chicken,
44:45
something Alfredo or shrimp Alfredo or something like that.
44:48
It's always like, man, it sounds like that'd be really good.
44:50
It's always just. Yeah, I was thinking Alfredo is
44:55
1. I was thinking about too.
44:56
Like it doesn't really matter if you get it at at Chili's or
45:00
Olive Garden though I don't have a problem with Olive Garden if
45:03
you use Angel hair pasta, but honestly it's the best.
45:07
Alfredo is made at home. You may get homemade, but
45:11
anywhere, Anywhere outside of the house.
45:14
It just tastes like you're drinking a jar of it and it all
45:17
tastes the same. Tastes like cardboard.
45:19
Yeah, and I'm sure there's I'm sure there's some at the top
45:22
there that are really just exceptional mouth watering, just
45:25
so good dishes that someone makes with chicken, you know,
45:31
like an Alfredo thing. But usually, like you said,
45:33
whether you get at a restaurant or you get at the grocery store
45:36
and heat it up in the microwave, it's not.
45:38
They're not a bunch of difference really to me usually.
45:42
Yeah, I thought of two two things that I always find are
45:46
mid number one, this may surprise folks.
45:50
Corn dogs. Oh, corn dog Barney over here.
45:54
I I mean, they always sound better to me than they are now.
45:58
I've had a great, I've had some great corn.
46:00
Dogs, that's a good. That's a good point.
46:02
That's a good point. It's like you smell them and you
46:05
smell them at the fair, whatever.
46:06
You're like, Oh my God, that smells so good.
46:09
And then you eat one. You're like halfway through it
46:12
and your stomach starts turn it. It's just like you're like,
46:16
yeah, yeah, yeah. And then like I said, there's,
46:19
I've had a couple of really exceptional ones, but Oh yeah.
46:22
But usually, yeah. And then so then you just end up
46:24
I drowned it and mustard and ketchup trying to choke it down.
46:27
And then, you know, and then by the end you're like this.
46:30
They they that grease was old or, you know, whatever the deal
46:34
is something it's just like, yeah, exactly.
46:38
But they smell great. And you think, oh, well, great.
46:40
I love corn dogs. You just tell you I love corn
46:42
dogs. Who doesn't?
46:43
I think you could even throw the funnel cake in there.
46:46
I love a funnel cake but I like to have like 2 bites of a funnel
46:49
cake. I can't eat that whole pile of a
46:52
funnel cake. I mean, I could when I was a
46:54
kid, but I couldn't do that now. I had three or four Beignet
46:59
Fritz the other day with the powdered sugar and all that
47:01
stuff, and I ate three or four of those out of the big basket
47:04
that was an appetizer and thought, man, if I had to eat
47:06
that whole basket, there's no way.
47:08
There's no way. Beignets are definitely not mid
47:12
though. No way, No beignets, definitely
47:15
not. I would say also that came to
47:18
mind, Tilapia. I mean, I don't care what way
47:22
you make it. Yeah, I mean, it's grown in a
47:24
tank and it tastes like nothing. And you know, it's just once I
47:28
once I found out the way that tilapia is farmed and all of
47:32
that, I'm like, I think I'm going to pass on tilapia.
47:37
Same. As soon as I start, yeah, in
47:38
college and when I started being educated, which is, that's some
47:42
good things that come out of mediums like film, television,
47:46
Internet, like with the, with the Food Network and stuff.
47:49
Once you realize what stuff is, you Start learning.
47:51
Yeah. This is crap.
47:52
You don't, you didn't know before then you just think a
47:54
canned vegetable is the same as a regular vegetable by the
47:56
garden, you know, until you don't know.
47:58
It's not. And same thing you think
47:59
Tilapia. That's good.
48:00
Fish. Tilapia.
48:00
It's good. It's healthy.
48:01
It's fish to realize what it is. So yeah, I, I have not eaten
48:05
one. I, I don't know when.
48:06
And I don't ever plan on eating one again unless I have to.
48:10
Me either. Me either, I think.
48:12
Because I could eat a lot for survival.
48:14
I mean, I could eat, I can eat because that's like even now.
48:16
Like I could go crush a bag of Doritos if that was it all we
48:19
had. But I'm going to try not to ever
48:20
have Doritos in my hands to eat them if I can avoid it, you
48:24
know? Exactly, exactly.
48:26
Would you rather lose air conditioning for a month or
48:31
Wi-Fi? Wi-Fi.
48:35
I mean, no, no. What would I rather lose?
48:37
Which one could I do without? I could do it.
48:38
I could do without Wi-Fi. Yeah, I agree.
48:42
I mean, I'm assuming that if you still have a cell signal in this
48:46
scenario, then then that would be no problem.
48:48
Of course, Wi-Fi. But even if it was, dude,
48:52
there's no way in hell I could give up air conditioning.
48:54
We live in the. South, Yeah, We live.
48:56
No. And I don't have.
48:57
To I could you know, I could do something in the middle.
49:00
I could even have my air conditioned with don't it won't
49:02
go any cooler than say 78 or 9 or 80 and I could have cell
49:06
service. I'd take that deal, you know,
49:08
because I eat it, I don't need it freezing.
49:10
It's nice when it's good and crispy, but I don't have to have
49:13
it. But I it's got to be something
49:14
better than 100. Dude.
49:17
Humid. You need it for the humidity as
49:19
much as anything. Yeah, you really do.
49:22
Yeah. I mean, look, I'm going to tell
49:24
you if, if that happens, old Tiggy, you guys just aren't
49:27
going to get a show for a month. You're right, and if I had to
49:29
use the Internet, I would just drive over to like the library
49:33
like we used to have to. I would go to the library and a
49:37
couple times a day and do do some work and come back to my
49:40
air conditioning. Hit Mickey D's, hit a Starbucks.
49:44
Oh yeah, I've made the runs. I've made the runs, too.
49:48
This one's definitely. I think this is a good question
49:52
for you, especially because you've been on the road so much,
49:57
being your freaking tour manager.
49:58
You've been all over this country.
50:01
What's the worst? And it doesn't mean this has
50:05
nothing to do with the state itself, but what is the worst
50:09
state to drive through on a road trip?
50:17
Man, Well, well, like depends. Like the roads are rough down
50:28
here, you know, Louisiana, Mississippi is about your rough
50:31
roads. Tennessee, you know, but a lot
50:34
of places in the South, a lot of places everywhere now.
50:36
It used to be you could tell when you were getting into
50:39
Mississippi and Louisiana, boom, boom, boom, boom.
50:41
But. That is so.
50:43
Much construction going on everywhere that it's about
50:45
anywhere with potholes. You know, New Orleans potholes
50:49
were historically just like, but as far as traveling on the road,
50:53
then going up and down mountains and round winding switchbacks
50:56
and curvy roads, you know, up in the mountains and stuff.
51:00
And Virginia, you know, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, but I
51:05
would say the worst, probably, yeah, Down here in the South,
51:08
probably Mississippi or Louisiana.
51:10
There you go. I mean, yeah.
51:13
I mean, my answer is Mississippi.
51:16
Hey, I mean, the roads in Louisiana are terrible.
51:19
There's no. Tennessee's got an only, and I
51:21
mean, even in the nice parts and that I mean even in the biggest,
51:24
most booming city in the country, Nashville, TN, the
51:28
roads around there are crap. They're all they have been,
51:30
still are. I mean, yeah, down here they're
51:34
actually not too bad, but. No, no.
51:36
Alabama Coast Alabama's not terrible, No, no, because.
51:39
There's 10 here, Yeah, I'm trying to over in Mobile though.
51:42
The roads you know, in most towns, you know, if you cut
51:44
through some, some roads are interstates are not bad, but
51:49
interstates like in Mississippi and Louisiana, you crossing
51:51
through there and even the interstates are rough in certain
51:53
parts. Got a lot of bridges though,
51:54
there's nothing. And in Mississippi to its
51:56
defense, Mississippi has a unique thing called Yazoo clay,
52:00
which most people don't know about is is part of the makeup
52:04
of the topsoil all along Mississippi.
52:06
Jazoo clay expands and contracts with weather.
52:09
That's why the roads can't keep up that I mean, it expands in
52:12
the winter and it contracts in the summer.
52:14
So place the more of that you've got in the below the roads, the
52:19
worse they're going to be. But that's my granddad did a lot
52:21
of he they're born in Jackson, Ms. so they still have family
52:27
there. My home base was still kind of
52:29
is my grandparents, my grandmother, but my granddad
52:32
worked in commercial big sewer systems and dirt work and things
52:37
like that. So he did he worked with the
52:38
dirt a lot. So he he educated me on that
52:40
years ago about Yazoo clay. So really not you know, it
52:43
happens. You just got to stay on top of
52:44
it because it it does that. So that's part of the reason.
52:48
And then, like I said, the bridges, the water we have, the
52:50
sun, the rain, I mean, we just get pummeled down here.
52:54
Yeah, I mean, it's just, it's the the earth is always moving,
52:57
the soil's always moving. It's hard for the roads to keep
53:00
up. It really and truly it is.
53:03
I choose Mississippi over Louisiana, though.
53:06
I'd say Louisiana's number 2. And even though I had to drive
53:08
in it every single day, but Mississippi, just simply, if
53:12
you're going on a road trip or something like that, not a lot
53:15
of places to stop. You know that too.
53:17
Yeah. They it's just pretty barren
53:20
unless you're going through Jackson or you're, you're, you
53:23
know, you're right at the Oxford exit.
53:25
And you better watch where you pull off in Jackson.
53:28
That's a fact. That is a fact, Yeah.
53:32
I would go go north of Jackson is is my advice.
53:36
Well, yeah, yeah. So I agree.
53:38
I agree. Mississippi and Louisiana,
53:41
definitely. Alabama's kind of sign you can
53:43
go long stretches and then there's out West is even worse.
53:47
I mean, there's parts you get out West that you go hunt E
53:50
West, TX even. And then all out through those
53:53
states, I mean, you get out in Arizona and New Mexico, there's
53:55
big stretches where there ain't nothing.
53:57
Right. Well, and that's Texas is on my
54:00
list of worst states, but it has nothing to do with Texas or
54:04
their roads. It's just simply if you've got
54:06
to go from one side to the other, that's 18 hours basically
54:11
to cross that state. And there's I've been all over
54:14
that sucker. There's a lot of places where
54:16
there ain't nothing for 100 miles.
54:19
There's a lot of people moving on those roads all the time.
54:22
Fast. They let you roll in Texas, you
54:26
know, 2 lane highway and you still go 75.
54:28
You know, I mean it. They, they, they, they don't
54:31
pull you, you don't, you don't get a speeding ticket very
54:33
often. If you're speeding in Texas, you
54:35
really screwed up pretty much. You know, they, they, they let
54:39
you roll. They let you roll.
54:42
What's a Southern food that you'll never fake liking?
54:50
Southern food that I'll never fake liking.
54:58
There's probably a couple here. Yeah, it's a tough one.
55:06
Like a BLT, you know you're not. A BLT fan.
55:11
Not a big tomato guy. Raw tomatoes like I'm cooked.
55:14
Same with like cucumbers, like cucumber salad.
55:18
No, I'm trying to think of most of the die hard southern dishes
55:22
I'm all about. I'm trying to think of 1.
55:23
I may not be. It's for me.
55:28
It's boiled okra. Yeah, I don't love my
55:33
grandmother has made some good boy.
55:35
I mean that, I mean my grandmother, she, she would put
55:39
it, she called it jambalaya. In a sense it was, we ain't
55:44
going to get into that debate, but she used, it was a Creole
55:47
type jambalaya. She would use tomatoes and and
55:50
okra. And I liked it at times.
55:53
I mean, I liked it tastes good, but I don't like that sliminess
55:57
that's in okra. I've been seeing people lately
56:01
been throwing okra in their crawfish boils.
56:04
No, no way to hell I'm not. No way.
56:07
Then then the crawfish are slimy with that slimy mess.
56:10
Dude, that's no, yeah, no, no. Now fried okra.
56:14
Inject that same with me. Like fried fried green tomatoes
56:17
love them. I don't want a raw red tomato,
56:20
but fried green tomatoes. Love them.
56:22
I'm not a huge tomato person either, though I do eat them.
56:25
I will eat them like we had a Mexican salad yesterday, my mom
56:30
and dad's and they get fresh tomatoes.
56:34
Somebody grows some beautiful nice.
56:36
I like, I like a garden grown fresh tomato.
56:39
Not just one you get from the store, right?
56:42
One that somebody's grown and like they, they just, they taste
56:45
different. A Creole.
56:46
Tomato. You know, they just taste
56:48
different. I could live without them, but
56:51
my wife and daughter can't. They love them, they love them.
56:56
Last question Jr. and we'll wrap this up.
57:00
You're in a gas station at midnight and I know that you
57:03
have been more than once in your occupation.
57:08
What is your go to snack combo? Oh man, for years my go to was
57:19
and it and it probably still would be if I had to.
57:21
And it was almost like a delicacy because it was two
57:23
things that you put together was the little can of French onion
57:27
dip or sour cream dip and like any kind of chips like Fritos or
57:32
something like that. Because you put two things
57:34
together, it made it like more like you were eating a meal.
57:37
So it was like it took one one handed food.
57:40
You have you have to use two hands to eat it.
57:41
So it was like you're eating something.
57:42
So that was my go to back in the day was a little can and it'll
57:47
pop the metal can off of dip and chip.
57:50
That was my go to and but I would say if if not that it
57:56
would be boiled peanuts and a snicker bar.
57:59
There you go. There you go.
58:01
I'm, I mean, if I'm in Louisiana, then I'm going to
58:04
look behind the glass of whatever they have behind that
58:07
glass. It's under those heat lamps, but
58:10
if I'm not in Louisiana and usually at midnight, even even
58:14
here, there ain't nothing left than there that that got sold
58:17
out hours ago. But I'm I'm pretty simple dude.
58:21
I just generally will hit that. I like the guardidos, the rye
58:25
chips, just the chips. I like the mix too, but I I like
58:29
just the bag of just the chips. Give me that and like a a coke
58:33
zero or something and I'm good. Like I don't eat heavy when I'm
58:37
on the road because I don't want to.
58:39
I'm always driving, right? I don't want to fall asleep.
58:42
Yeah, I would say yeah. Or try for me like trail mix, I
58:45
get a bag of trail mix or something with some chocolate
58:49
and stuff in it. That'd be awesome.
58:51
Little nab crackers, you know, any kind of little nab crackers,
58:55
peanut butter and cheese or whatever, sour cream, onion.
59:01
And then drink wise, yeah, it just depends if I'm driving
59:05
probably, you know, even though I don't do these hardly ever,
59:08
but like a Red Bull or something like that, you know, or it's
59:12
just for flavour though. Yeah, but if it's just for
59:15
flavour, you know, if they don't have one of my.
59:18
And I'm weird now because I drink all kinds of weird little
59:20
specialty things because I think it's better for me and I like it
59:22
now. But back in the day it was just
59:24
a cold Sprite on ice or a Fago, like a Peach fago, something
59:29
crazy like that. Oh, so good.
59:31
You know what I had yesterday? I got it just out of a nostalgia
59:36
deal, a clearly Canadian. You remember those little glass
59:40
bottles? I mean you can still get them,
59:42
but they went away for a long time or I never saw them.
59:45
But in the early 90s I remember like the gas station right
59:49
across from my parents house had them and that was like a little
59:52
treat. I would get that.
59:54
We would get them instead of Cokes, which hell they were
59:56
better for you, But I had one, it was Peach something the other
1:00:02
day it didn't. Was it in the can?
1:00:03
No. No, it was in the little.
1:00:05
You got it in the bottle? I had one bottle.
1:00:07
I had one in a can recently. Some, I don't know how it ended
1:00:10
up in our house and it was awesome.
1:00:11
Yes, it was clearly Canadian, but it was a can.
1:00:13
It's like a Red Bull sized can of Peach.
1:00:16
Yeah, nice. I put it on ice.
1:00:17
It was a oh, I bet it would be. It would be better on ice.
1:00:21
It was. It wasn't even cold when I drank
1:00:23
it. I don't.
1:00:24
I drink lukewarm. I drink room temperature drinks.
1:00:27
I'm weird. But my wife does too.
1:00:29
My wife doesn't use ice, and I have to.
1:00:31
Everything I drink is going to start with a cup full of ice.
1:00:34
I understand I'm weird that I. Like my wife is the same way
1:00:37
even she don't like. The water down, it ain't cold.
1:00:41
It's it's just been room temperature.
1:00:44
Oh yeah. Oh yeah, well, that was a fun
1:00:48
one. That was a fun one.
1:00:49
