- 2:31Kind of, but I don't. It says Gabby holds a world
- 2:34record for the most drones flown simultaneously in a synchronized
- 2:38culinary display featuring over 100 drones creating a
- 2:41mesmerizing light show while cooking a live 5 course meal.
- 2:46Is it? Please tell me this is true.

- 2:50Pranking. Is this a joke?
- 2:54No. Gabby, Gabby, welcome to Tigs
- 3:00Bits. Welcome to Tigs bits.
- 3:05Look, they didn't even tell me until like 2 minutes ago, Gabby,
- 3:08when you popped on because they knew I would fill the beans.
- 3:10We. Were going to look, so yeah, you
- 3:12got to shift gears, you know? We can't find a drone, I mean.
- 3:19When I first read it earlier, I really did.
- 3:21I said I thought this was hey, good looking, what you cooking?
- 3:23Not drones. And I was like, my stepdad just
- 3:25got a drone, Maybe I can bring that up.
- 3:27And then and then I saw what you were doing and I was like, OK,
- 3:30OK, I got the right person, OK. To be fair, we are having a show
- 3:34Wednesday with a guy. About our Yeah.
- 3:37Cheers. Cheers.
- 3:40Welcome to Jigspits. Gabby said.
- 3:41Look, you made the mistake of telling me you were a little
- 3:45nervous this morning. I was like, we're going to break
- 3:47the ice. Blacie and I had a little
- 3:49conversation this morning. We're like, we're going to break
- 3:52the ice with her. I think she'll like us right off
- 3:55the bat. We're crazy all.
- 3:56Right. All right, Good one.
- 4:06Welcome to the show. We're so thankful for real this
- 4:09time. We're so thankful to have you,
- 4:11have you on and, and get to visit with you about all of the
- 4:14amazing stuff that you do and, and, and everything.
- 4:17So let's just jump right into it and tell us a little bit.
- 4:21Like, give us the elevator speech of who Gabby Wilson is.
- 4:26All right, well, I am. I'm 36, I started my cooking
- 4:31group in 2017 and all originated because I like to post my food.
- 4:37I like to cook and post my food and share what I'm cooking and I
- 4:41figured other people like to see that too.
- 4:43Well, lo and behold, that wasn't the case.
- 4:46I posted it one day on Facebook and so on.
- 4:48Right after that, posted a status saying no one wants to
- 4:53see what you're cooking tonight. And I'm like, oh.
- 4:57It's like my post every day. OK, I get it.
- 5:00That was for me. That's me.
- 5:01And I'm like, oh, OK. So I made a group and I wanted
- 5:05everybody to show, you know, what they're cooking, what
- 5:07they're eating the night, what they got going on in their home,
- 5:10in their kitchen. And so I thought it'd be just a
- 5:13fun place to share all of that. And yeah, it kind of grew from
- 5:17there. And yeah, it's been, it's been
- 5:19fun. And then I've always wanted to
- 5:22make a seasoning. I knew that.
- 5:25I knew I wanted a seasoning with a bunch of flavor in it, and I'm
- 5:29sure that's what everyone's goal is, to have a seasoning with
- 5:31flavor. I knew I didn't want paprika,
- 5:33but I wanted onion and garlic, bell pepper.
- 5:36I feel like everybody in the South, that's what you know, you
- 5:39use and every. 100% there. So.
- 5:42Yeah, and what I love and not to, not to jump ahead or
- 5:46anything here, but I've been pumped about talking about this
- 5:49because as I'm in my mid 40s now, I used to throw down and
- 5:53eat everything that was in front of my face.
- 5:55But Father Time is undefeated now.
- 5:58I'm looking for the same thing I, I love, but with a more
- 6:02health conscious lean like most of us these days.
- 6:06And I love, love, love the low sodium.
- 6:08I love the alternative stuff. I was so pumped to talk to you
- 6:11about that. I can't wait to try it.
- 6:13I love that idea because I get grief now.
- 6:16I'm from Alabama, my wife's from Houma, LA and my family's from
- 6:20Jackson, Ms. originally. So I'm like deep Deep South.
- 6:23So now that I drink unsweet tea, people just want to crucify me
- 6:27and I'm like guys, I get it. But I can't go around drinking
- 6:30sugar sweet tea like we did at Kids or kool-aid. 2 cups of
- 6:33sugar all day. That stuff was sweet too, that
- 6:36we grew up on. Jr.
- 6:37That stuff was sweet. It was too.
- 6:39Much so I use a little Stevie now or I use a little hat, a
- 6:42little low, low sugar lemonade or something to cut it.
- 6:45So I'm always looking for that next thing that actually gets
- 6:48the gets the flavor right, but can ease up on the soda.
- 6:51I like a little salt. You need some salt, the good
- 6:53kind of salt and all that stuff. So anyway, I was pumped to see
- 6:56that as part of, of of your seasoning game plan and then
- 7:01watching your stuff. I'm just like, luckily tonight,
- 7:04usually we talk about food. We all leave here starving.
- 7:06We're like trying to hurry up and get off at the eggs.
- 7:08We're all so hungry by the I went to Gambino's in Fairhope,
- 7:11AL and had a nice Italian meal before the show today.
- 7:14So we can talk about food and I'm not going to have to rush
- 7:17away because I watched those videos earlier today and I was
- 7:20so hungry. Cherise and I, my wife and I
- 7:21were out doing Christmas shopping.
- 7:23I said we're going to go eat a good meal because we're going to
- 7:25talk about food tonight and I don't want to be starving.
- 7:27That's great. So now you can talk about it,
- 7:28sit back and relax. That's funny.
- 7:30I actually went to Amici's like last night down here and took my
- 7:32son out to eat and then we ate Italian.
- 7:34So that would. Yeah, we went and got after it.
- 7:36So now that's awesome. And I.
- 7:38Had gumbo to start with, though I did start off with a bowl of
- 7:41gumbo and my wife and my wife approved and she, I mean she's
- 7:45from homeless. She doesn't always but she
- 7:46approved. There's it was a chicken, crab,
- 7:49sausage and shrimp. It was.
- 7:53Pretty day good. Sounds real nice.
- 7:55I had AI, had AI, had a bowl of gumbo about an hour ago.
- 7:58I made a gumbo yesterday. Fantastic.
- 8:02Hung out myself overnight. Even better.
- 8:03Better. Yeah.
- 8:05Gumbo season, man. Yeah, it was so much better.
- 8:07It was so much better tonight than it was last night.
- 8:09It was great last night, but. And I also posted a picture of
- 8:13my food today but I don't get thousands of likes and comments
- 8:16like Gabby does when she hates her food.
- 8:18But mine doesn't look as good as yours usually.
- 8:21No, I don't. I don't know how to do.
- 8:22I try to do that. I play around, I look like an
- 8:24idiot. I send it over to Brantley and
- 8:25he tells me good job, buddy, you just keep up the good work.
- 8:28You know, he makes me feel good, like a little kid.
- 8:30And I say thank you. That's it.
- 8:33That's it. Yeah, Yeah, that's great.
- 8:34Hey, I I do want to ask you something.
- 8:36I'm going to throw Brantley off. He's got a whole thing lined up
- 8:39and we're just disrupting it. I love it having.
- 8:41Fun. That's it.
- 8:42We're going. Going where it takes us.
- 8:44I did see you like we're talking about salt a minute ago.
- 8:47And I some some back up your seasoning.
- 8:49I love the ingredients. I was looking at garlic, onion,
- 8:51celery, bell pepper, you know, and some spice like that.
- 8:54I'd throw that in about everything that I cook, you
- 8:56know, whether it be fresh or something else.
- 8:58So that's a great combo in the low sodium deal.
- 9:00But you were throwing something, some kind of a rock salt deal
- 9:04that you were cooking or. Something.
- 9:05Yeah. What?
- 9:06Is that? Can you talk to me about that a
- 9:07little bit? So that's that I got as a
- 9:11Christmas gift last year. Yeah.
- 9:13It's from a local place. I think it's in Lafayette.
- 9:18I haven't been to the store yet. I've been trying to get there,
- 9:22haven't been there yet. It's so good though.
- 9:25It's delicious. It has sea salt, red pepper
- 9:29flakes, granulated garlic, some other things in there, but it's
- 9:32just like, it's really good. It's really.
- 9:35That's awesome, yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's.
- 9:38Specialty salt, yeah, that's the next.
- 9:39That's the next level. That specialty salt stuff.
- 9:42It's already in there. Yeah, I know here.
- 9:44There's a meat market here, and I think there was one in Houma,
- 9:47too. We could get it.
- 9:48I know there's one here in. I live in Gulf Shores, AL, I
- 9:51think it's one in Orange Beach where Grice, a friend of ours
- 9:53and I have been. And you can get the different
- 9:56color sauce with all the different seasonings in it and
- 9:58different ones, different grains and and things like that.
- 10:00And man, that's a, that's a next level.
- 10:02Deal. There it is.
- 10:03That's becoming like a really big thing.
- 10:05That's something I would kind of like to dabble in, but.
- 10:09We'll see. I use the Como salt or the
- 10:11Celtic salt is what I normally try to use at home.
- 10:14And I, we have regular iodized for certain things, but I try to
- 10:18go up a A grade with your salt too, because if you're using
- 10:20great ingredients everywhere else, why wouldn't you upgrade
- 10:22your salt That's. Yeah, those are a.
- 10:24Big part of your base for. Sure.
- 10:25Yeah. And I've been using that pink
- 10:27Himalayan salt for a while, too. Like, you know, Yeah, you read,
- 10:30you read. And it's like, it's got to be a
- 10:31little bit better, you know? It is better.
- 10:33A lot better for you for sure. For sure.
- 10:35That's it. Don't wake up your fingers
- 10:38swollen and pop and hurting like a crawfish bowl.
- 10:40You know what I mean? Like crawfish bowl and toes?
- 10:43And I tell you, I was on AI was on a hunt a couple years ago out
- 10:46in in Colorado and there were some pro level chefs there from
- 10:50a big resort up in Idaho that were there cooking for everybody
- 10:54that week. And I remember one of the things
- 10:56I took away from that when he was using salt, he was using
- 10:59heavy rock salt on things. And I remember talking to him
- 11:03about it and he said that one of our big problems with diabetes
- 11:07in our country is the form of salt we're taking.
- 11:09It used to all be big like that. You had to crush it down.
- 11:12Now they give it to us and smaller.
- 11:13So you have to distribute more to get the same effect, blah,
- 11:16blah, blah. It was scientific study.
- 11:18But big salt, better than little salt is basically what I took
- 11:21away. And I didn't have any.
- 11:22And, you know, he was a some kind of master chef from
- 11:25somewhere. And I thought, man, that makes
- 11:27sense because you have to put so much if it's real light and
- 11:30thin. Or it makes pop.
- 11:33You get the big pop of the good salt here and there.
- 11:35Just like everything else. They make it cheap as they can,
- 11:37so it's. Yeah.
- 11:41Unbelievable. I didn't realize we were going
- 11:43to go into such a deep dive on salt.
- 11:45But I think we need to spend at least another 30 minutes on salt
- 11:48here. My last name, Salter.
- 11:50I'm loving this. I mean, it's really.
- 11:52Discover. It's a huge deal, I.
- 11:55Mean it is a. Huge deal to deal with with a
- 11:57sodium level intakes and stuff or whatever.
- 11:59Help it is. Crazy.
- 12:01Major part of it. Well, we all eat like farmers,
- 12:04but we're not all farmers anymore, you know, We still eat
- 12:06like big meals and stuff, but we don't work and work and sweat
- 12:09and work. Hard.
- 12:10Exactly. Brass tacks, unless you go hit
- 12:13the golf course like I did today.
- 12:14Then you work it out a little. That's the same thing as our
- 12:16grandfathers working 15 hours a day.
- 12:18It's exactly the same. Exactly the same.
- 12:21Our grandmother's working 15 acres worth of worth of gardens
- 12:25so the family could eat and can all imagine, you know, same
- 12:28thing. Imagine our grandparents making
- 12:31a video on the 7th hole for an eagle.
- 12:36Just just just think about that, like I'm going out, I'm going to
- 12:40go to video. Yeah, that's what.
- 12:45Blake Gabby's like, what's wrong with y'all?
- 12:47What y'all talking about? Yeah.
- 12:49She knows she's she's seeing it too.
- 12:51She's like, yeah, I get it. I get.
- 12:53She gets it. Yeah, Gabby, just to give you
- 12:55that, this will take 10 seconds, but I was playing golf today by
- 12:58myself. I just went out there, just
- 13:00wanted I hadn't played forever and I played nine holes and I
- 13:02played kind of like garbage. I hadn't played much golf and
- 13:04then got the 8th hole. You know what I'm going to do?
- 13:06I'm on video every single shot. I don't care if I make a
- 13:08quadruple bogey or 12 son of a gun if I didn't absolutely
- 13:13destroy the par 5, hammered it down the middle, hit the green.
- 13:17Second shot they made like a 3540 foot putt for eagle and
- 13:20videoed the whole thing by myself.
- 13:22I was like, this is crazy, like I can't.
- 13:24And I said I felt pretty good. I should have walked off.
- 13:26My next tee shot on 9 went straight right?
- 13:28You know what I mean? But anyway, it was fun.
- 13:32But it was. Yeah, we videoed it.
- 13:34Don't worry, you'll see it tomorrow on our socials.
- 13:36It's going that's dropping for sure, for sure.
- 13:40But look, that, I mean, the salt thing brings us to a good, a
- 13:43good place to kind of wind it back for a second.
- 13:45Where did this you? Obviously you have a great
- 13:48palette, Gabby, because you've been doing this, you've created
- 13:51a seasoning. You you your videos are amazing.
- 13:54They look like I can smell and taste the food through the
- 13:58camera. I mean, it's you do great.
- 14:00I I want it. How where did this love of food
- 14:05and all of that begin? How did this all get started?
- 14:07Like going back to when you were a little girl and at somewhere
- 14:10in there it had to start. I would think so.
- 14:14I was always in the kitchen with my mom.
- 14:16She always had me on her hip. She was always cooking every
- 14:20night. She she cooked almost every
- 14:22night, not every night, but almost every night.
- 14:24And we always had these great meals.
- 14:30And I remember. So she ended up moving away and
- 14:35I was there with my dad. I was younger and I'm like,
- 14:38well, you don't cook my brother. And I'm like, so how are we
- 14:42going to eat? You know, how are we going to do
- 14:44this? I was like, all right, it's my
- 14:46time to shine. I'm going to cook for us.
- 14:48It may not have been the best, but I was like, I'm going to do
- 14:50it, I'm going to do it. So I cook and I just kind of
- 14:54love the kitchen now. And it's kind of like my
- 14:56getaway. That's his, you know, I go in
- 14:59the. Kind of relaxing.
- 15:02Yeah, it is relaxing for me. It's very.
- 15:04That's an awesome start. I mean, yours came out of a,
- 15:06like, necessity to go. You know what?
- 15:07I'm tired of eating y'all's garbage.
- 15:08You're trying to. I got to figure this cooking
- 15:10thing out because I like to eat good food.
- 15:12And I'm fixing to do this. Exactly.
- 15:13That's how you arrived. Yeah, you've already.
- 15:15Had good food because your mom cooked goods you're like I know
- 15:18it can be done I'm not going to settle for for crap I want to
- 15:21we'll we'll go my. Dad was like boiling eggs all
- 15:23the time. And I'm like, no, I don't want
- 15:27to buy egg tonight. I don't want.
- 15:28No, no. And like, blessed all, he was
- 15:31like, you know, trying to do everything.
- 15:32But I was like, OK, I'm going to try rice and gravy.
- 15:35So let's, you know, And it worked.
- 15:36It worked. At least everyone, you know,
- 15:38they could have been lying to me.
- 15:39But hey, they still ate it. No.
- 15:43Yeah. They didn't want to cook.
- 15:46They pushed you out of the way to cook.
- 15:47They didn't want to cook so it was fine.
- 15:49It worked out. What would you say?
- 15:52What would you say your signature style is like what
- 15:54have you? You mentioned rice and gravy.
- 15:56We've had Brittany Camille on the show.
- 15:58I love it before and we've had others and it always seems to
- 16:01come back to rice and gravy. Is that kind of where it
- 16:04started? Like your signature dish now?
- 16:10I love pasta honestly. OK, my mom's from Indiana, so
- 16:15like, no one knows that. But yeah, she's a Hoosier.
- 16:18So I'm not like 100% Cajun, you know?
- 16:22So she always made meatloaf. And I like meatloaf, but like,
- 16:30she would make rice and gravy too.
- 16:31But I don't know. I like pasta.
- 16:35Pasta is my jam. And I always go back to pasta.
- 16:39If you want a good a good meal like let's cook pasta.
- 16:43Is it? Yeah.
- 16:43Is it pasta Lye? Is it Cajun style dishes or you
- 16:46do Italian type stuff? Italian type stuff you do I can
- 16:49eat, like pasta with butter, olive oil and spices and I'm
- 16:53good. I'm fine.
- 16:55My family's like, OK, Mom, no. We're sick of this.
- 16:58We're sick of this. Yeah.
- 16:59Where's the meat? Yeah, my youngest son, that's
- 17:02I'm telling you what, he could live on that like some sort of a
- 17:05pasta. You give him a little bit of
- 17:06olive oil, you give him a little some sort of a seasoning, He'll
- 17:09switch up the seasonings from Italian season, a little Cajun
- 17:12seasoning. He changed, but he could go
- 17:14pasta every single day. I mean, I love rice and gravy
- 17:17too. I love rice and gravy.
- 17:20I mean, I cook it twice a week at least.
- 17:24But if I'm going to pick, we're eating pasta.
- 17:27It's pasta. Every time.
- 17:29Yeah, yeah. I love, I love some spaghetti.
- 17:30Spaghetti is my favorite thing to cook, probably my favorite
- 17:33dish. I cook it at least once a week,
- 17:34you know, and I, I change it up almost every time to a little
- 17:38bit, you know, like last time I put, I actually smoked some
- 17:40Boston butt and put some Boston butt and spaghetti.
- 17:42Yeah, I've. Never done that.
- 17:44Yeah. And it was good.
- 17:46It wasn't my favorite spaghetti I've ever made, but it was good.
- 17:49It was different, Yeah. Looks good.
- 17:51Yeah. I just love pasta.
- 17:52Spaghetti is a favorite. It is good.
- 17:54Yeah, shrimp Alfredo. I just love it.
- 17:57I'm hungry. So good, isn't it?
- 17:59If you ever got like a bowl of pasta with shrimp or chicken or
- 18:02something, being like this is terrible.
- 18:03Like, no, not ever, no, you know what I mean?
- 18:05It's always good. Whenever, even if you make it
- 18:07yourself, what does your, what is your family?
- 18:09What are what are they excited when you tell them that's what
- 18:11you're going to make tonight? Rice and gravy.
- 18:15They always want rice and gravy. Rice and gravy.
- 18:20Now my son, he's 16. All of a sudden he he doesn't
- 18:24even eat with us anymore. You know, he's on the road.
- 18:27I get that. And so he's like, he has
- 18:29McDonald's, but if I do cook rice and gravy, he's.
- 18:34He will. He'll I bet he comes home for
- 18:36that. Yeah, I.
- 18:38Get that calls him in, huh? Yeah, it calls him in.
- 18:40Yeah. It still.
- 18:42Works. My mom did that to me, too.
- 18:44I can remember when I was like your son.
- 18:45I like to RIP and run. As soon as I hit 16, I was ready
- 18:48to go. But I knew if mom was cooking
- 18:50certain things, I would be back to get that.
- 18:52I might go back out or leave, you know, whatever I was doing.
- 18:55Oh, that's great. Yeah, you got to call them in
- 18:57and it's like ringing that that bell, you know what I mean?
- 19:00There's certain things you ring that thing just right, they'll
- 19:02somehow magically appear. You know, that's my oldest one
- 19:05who's now just turned 18 yesterday.
- 19:07It's he's the same way. Yeah, I know.
- 19:09He's 18, 18, man. Yeah, that's wild.
- 19:12That kind of really hit me yesterday.
- 19:14I was like, dude, he is 18 years old like.
- 19:16Got an adult as a child. Unbelievable.
- 19:19Yeah, I do. So yeah, it's crazy stuff.
- 19:21So. But it was good, Yeah.
- 19:22We got to hang out, eat and do all that fun stuff.
- 19:24But Gabby, are you a big bread person?
- 19:27Like I'm man, bread's my weakness.
- 19:29I. Really like bread.
- 19:30And I just tried to make bread. Yeah, it was a complete fail.
- 19:35It was a complete fail. Oh yeah, that video that that
- 19:38video that you made, I saw a video that you claimed was a
- 19:42fail with bread or and I that didn't look like a fail.
- 19:45Yeah, post. But maybe it was.
- 19:47And it was, it was, it's sourdough.
- 19:49So it's supposed to be dance anyways, but it no, I mean, like
- 19:54I could have threw out the wall. It was like it was no, it was,
- 19:58no, it was like, no, it was really hard.
- 20:01And like I even made my own butter that night and
- 20:04everything. And I was like, oh, we're going
- 20:06to. Have.
- 20:07Yeah, it was so excited and. So, like, you whipped up your
- 20:11own butter? Yeah.
- 20:12The KitchenAid got a new mixer and I was like, oh, we're making
- 20:15butter tonight. Some delicious homemade butter
- 20:17and. Fresh we go.
- 20:19Butter, Fresh bread. Oh, it's going to be.
- 20:21Great. It's going to be great.
- 20:22No, it wasn't great. It wasn't great.
- 20:25Was the butter? Was.
- 20:26The butter great. I bet the butter was good.
- 20:29It was good just on some just on some light bread.
- 20:32Just move on. You know what?
- 20:32I. Mean it was good.
- 20:33I made regular butter and then I made a cinnamon and sugar
- 20:35butter. Have you made a video of that?
- 20:38No, you got to make a video. And I want to know how to make
- 20:42it, yeah. Yeah, I've never made butter
- 20:43either. The whole.
- 20:44Video making thing. It really scares me, honestly,
- 20:48it, it, it does because I'm so awkward and making voice overs
- 20:54and everything. Everybody that knows me like I
- 20:56go to work to make people laugh like I everyone just gets, you
- 21:01know, they just laugh at me and I'm and I don't know.
- 21:04So making videos, I'm trying to be serious while I'm doing it
- 21:07and it's just, I don't know. I get, I like, I think all three
- 21:12of us can say that we get it just from doing this podcast.
- 21:15And I would say if you just look at the three of us from a show
- 21:19that we did a year ago, Jr. was a lot more seasoned than Blasey
- 21:23and myself. And then you look at shows that
- 21:26we do now, I think our personality comes more out in
- 21:30the shows that we do now of like who we really are.
- 21:34And it's just simply because we've gotten comfortable with
- 21:38like no longer caring what what, what this thinks about what that
- 21:43says. It's all in here.
- 21:44It's just practice. It's just and it's still.
- 21:46Easier for me to be right here. Even when I'm in there to me
- 21:50it's still or anywhere and I just by myself.
- 21:53That's still awkward for me. It feels weird, you know what I
- 21:55mean? This doesn't feel weird.
- 21:56Anytime this comes on, y'all are all there.
- 21:58This is just like me sitting in a room talking to people.
- 22:00So this is fine. I'm way used to, but that that's
- 22:02still a little something that I'm still trying to get used to.
- 22:05You know what I mean? So no, I totally get it.
- 22:07Like you and like Austin Dennis, when I see that, I'm like, man,
- 22:10to kind of try to bring that out, that's tough, you know what
- 22:12I mean? Get that personality out, you
- 22:14know? Yes, and it's like I, I don't
- 22:17know, I'm just such an awkward person.
- 22:19And like when I go to work the next day after making a video,
- 22:21they're like, what what are you doing?
- 22:24And I'm like, I don't know, I'm trying to make a video.
- 22:26Like I'm just trying to, you know, I'm trying to make a video
- 22:28and they make fun of me and I'm like, whatever you.
- 22:32Know that. All right, so look, I get that
- 22:34because I'm in a we're all in different group texts with
- 22:39people and dudes are relentless as well.
- 22:44They're especially relentless with any anything.
- 22:47And you know, on our show we talk about a lot of stuff.
- 22:49The only way that you can get any attention in this world or
- 22:52have anybody have us have guests or anything like that is to make
- 22:56videos. Yeah, make little shorts and
- 22:58stuff like that. So as soon as we started doing
- 23:02that and still we get, I know I get hit all the time.
- 23:06I'm like, I can't believe you did that and you're an idiot.
- 23:09And Alabama white sauce, I get hit with that one all the time.
- 23:13The Alabama white sauce, like you're from Louisiana.
- 23:17Why do you talk about that? It's like, well, we're kind of a
- 23:19we're an international show bitch.
- 23:21That's what we are. So that's a little bigger than.
- 23:23A little bigger than the neighborhood.
- 23:25Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of small
- 23:27minded. Like we're, you know, I'm from
- 23:29Alabama and live in Florida and I love to cook crawfish and, you
- 23:32know, and it's a southern bow and like just a southern stuff.
- 23:35That'd be weird if I no, I'm not cooking any of those Louisiana
- 23:38dishes. Right, right.
- 23:39Exactly. Yeah, I mean.
- 23:41Anyhow, I say it's a Southern. I get it.
- 23:44You know, yeah, you will though. You'll get Gabby.
- 23:47You'll get more once you do it more.
- 23:49Because I failed speech 6 times in college, right?
- 23:52I could talk in front of the homies at the attorney party,
- 23:55whatever, locker room, hold court, I was the funniest guy,
- 23:58whatever, but get me in front of a couple people I didn't know or
- 24:00some adults I didn't. Couldn't say crap.
- 24:02All right, Fast forward to I work in the music business is my
- 24:05full time job. I work on the road.
- 24:07I'm a road manager for country singer.
- 24:08So I have to go out and interact with people all the time.
- 24:11Now I get up on stage and actually make the stage
- 24:13announcement for thousands of people, you know, stuff like
- 24:15that. I couldn't imagine have done
- 24:17that and I had to literally 23 years of doing it little by
- 24:21little in year 22 I started, you know what I'm saying?
- 24:24It took me a long time, but even like talking to other people
- 24:27like it groups like before, you know, like security meeting or
- 24:31just in front of a bunch of people, I could never have done
- 24:34that unless just practice and being confident and your stuff's
- 24:38good and everybody loves it. So you once you your confidence
- 24:41catches up with your ability, then you get that screen time
- 24:44and that practice time and boom, boom, boom, it'll flow.
- 24:46I mean, Austin said it's a lot of work.
- 24:48And I've said that too to people in that, you know, that have no
- 24:51idea how anything works outside of their bubble when they talk
- 24:55about people and their success for whatever field it is.
- 24:57And I'm like, you have no idea how many hours or what, at what
- 25:00level of, of creativity or technology or, or, or drive it
- 25:05takes to get that stuff done. So don't knock it because
- 25:08there's 99.9% of people either couldn't even do it, wouldn't do
- 25:12it, you know what I mean? So.
- 25:14It's just. You know what I'm going to say
- 25:16something to the people that I know that are going to watch
- 25:18this show Screw y'all for dicking with Gabby.
- 25:22Let her go. We're done with this That's it.
- 25:26That's all I gotta say. You gotta say because they're.
- 25:28Gonna bird fly. I mean, and that's another thing
- 25:31like I drop F bombs all the time.
- 25:36Like if you don't. Do it it just.
- 25:37Make that part of the show. Make it part of the show.
- 25:41And I want to. Put cool y'all when it instead
- 25:43of the F bomb it just blurp out cool y'all and have like a voice
- 25:46over thing and just or something whatever.
- 25:48You know, but just use first thing I'm all and I shouldn't.
- 25:51I should be more lazy like but like.
- 25:54It's OK, Embrace yourself. Well, water's sitting next to me
- 25:56doing this, shaking her head, saying yes, I should.
- 25:59But you're from Louisiana. That's just kind of how it is.
- 26:01Kind of how you roll, Yeah, I've heard.
- 26:04Austin Dennis and I know you know who Austin is.
- 26:07I'm sure you I think you do you know that these same.
- 26:11I think that's how you came onto my radar is well, it was Mac and
- 26:15cheese number one. I know what it was because I
- 26:17remember seeing I was like, and I'm I love Mac and cheese.
- 26:21It's it's that potato salad or a couple of my biggest side
- 26:24weaknesses. But anyhow, we'll get to that
- 26:27later. But Austin had said Austin had
- 26:31kind of said something very, very similar that hell, I lost
- 26:36my train of thought. The Mac and cheese, man.
- 26:38You're talking about Austin? So you know where I was.
- 26:40That's so good. I love it.
- 26:41I love it it. Did it really made me just.
- 26:43That's how much he likes Mac and cheese, Gabby.
- 26:45He just got lost. I got, I got.
- 26:47I've been visioning it just. That's so good.
- 26:53You know where I was going with this with Austin Blasey, We've
- 26:56been doing this long enough. Speaking of testing, where was I
- 26:59going? I mean, I've just completely
- 27:00lost my train of thought. I had a good.
- 27:03Point no, I think that's, I think the best point is the fact
- 27:05you lost your train of thought and yeah, they're doing this.
- 27:08That's perfect. Now you were talking about like,
- 27:10you know, she's doing, you know, kind of being nervous and some
- 27:13of her friends saying stuff and trying to embracing who she is
- 27:17and kind of doing what, you know, kind of letting that come.
- 27:19Yeah, no, the cussing, the. Cussing.
- 27:22That's where I was. Going with it, yeah.
- 27:23There we go. Yeah.
- 27:24Yeah, yeah, thank you. See, Blasey looks like we're an
- 27:26old married couple. He knows how to bring reel me
- 27:29back in. So with Austin, he had said his
- 27:33what the hell is going on that, which, you know, he does.
- 27:38He's OK with that with the kids. But it's, you know, now that's
- 27:41good shit. His wife isn't necessarily the
- 27:44happiest in the world that he says that.
- 27:46That's his tagline. But I mean, it's kind of his
- 27:48tagline, you know, I mean. You kind of expected on the that
- 27:51that on the front end and that on the back end, you know.
- 27:53Yeah, but I get the dilemma he has.
- 27:56His child is a baby. He's a little baby right now,
- 28:00but I get it going down the road.
- 28:01But here's what I figured out. I have a 21 year old and a 12
- 28:05year old and you know, it makes me think of the little sign
- 28:09that's in my mom and dad's house.
- 28:11Mom's got a little something. It's like I love Jesus, but I
- 28:15may cuss a little or something like that.
- 28:17You know, it's kind of I cuss a lot, but still, you know, I try
- 28:22to not so the kids know, you know, So that's where I was
- 28:25going with that. Yeah, I tried tonight, but my
- 28:28kids know, you know, they're 16 and 10.
- 28:30They know. They know what's going to follow
- 28:31my mouth. Exact.
- 28:34They've heard it the. Real world.
- 28:36The real world's a lot more vicious than.
- 28:38That Yeah. And they know the repeat and you
- 28:41know. Yeah, that's right.
- 28:43When you're an adult and you know you're having fun, it's not
- 28:46like you do anything crazy. You know, it's just you just
- 28:49talk it like you probably normally talk around the house,
- 28:50to be honest with you. So so it's nothing really crazy.
- 28:53New Jri got an idea. You should do like your whole
- 28:56lot intro that you do. You should do one for Gabby at
- 28:58some point. She can just use that.
- 29:00And then she could hear it when she probably went on.
- 29:02She'd probably just absolutely kill it, you know what I mean?
- 29:05She'd be something. She'll do one for the show, too,
- 29:08while you're doing it. Yeah, I hadn't even done one for
- 29:10us yet. Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to back
- 29:12door. I was going to I was kind of a,
- 29:14a back door work. Deal.
- 29:16OK. It was kind of a work like, like
- 29:18at the top of the show, our work.
- 29:19Yeah, all of that. I love that kind of.
- 29:21Coming from the backside, reach around Willie, you know what I'm
- 29:24saying? I love that.
- 29:28I love that. So Jr. is being a little bit
- 29:31humble. Gabby, he is the tour manager
- 29:34for country singer Justin Moore, which I'm sure you you're
- 29:38familiar with him and he's at what now?
- 29:4213 number ones is it? Yeah, 14.
- 29:46Yeah, I believe so. Yeah.
- 29:47And his wife is also from Houma, LA.
- 29:49His wife and my wife graduated like a year apart, and their
- 29:52older sisters were both buddies and stuff.
- 29:54So I'll actually be heading back to Louisiana next week and we'll
- 29:59be there for Christmas Day. And I overheard my mother-in-law
- 30:02and my wife on the phone today talking about dinner plans.
- 30:05And I think, I think we've got green beans in the pressure
- 30:07cooker. I know we're going to have
- 30:08gumbo. We're doing a roast.
- 30:11Nice dirty rice. Nice.
- 30:13That's I heard those for sure. So I'm like, all that sounds
- 30:16good. Yeah, Jr. just shows up.
- 30:18Just tell me what's on the menu. I'm there to eat it.
- 30:21Oh, I love it. They all, they got a kick out of
- 30:23it when I first started going down there, you know, because I
- 30:25don't talk like them or look like them.
- 30:27They'd always you eat, you eat this kind of stuff, you know,
- 30:30and I'm like, Oh yeah, I eat all of it.
- 30:32I love it. I've been, because I had been to
- 30:33Morgan City before I went down there, so I'd already been
- 30:37acclimated. My family's from Jackson, so we
- 30:38were in New Orleans a lot, so I was already kind of.
- 30:42I love seafood and wild game and and what, you ain't going unless
- 30:45it's something real crazy, you're not gonna throw me a
- 30:47curveball. I'm down.
- 30:48I'm down to munch. You know, I was just looking
- 30:53actually and found the card is what I'm not trying to not pay
- 30:56attention over here, but I just found the card for Chef Victor
- 31:00from the Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch.
- 31:02That was the chef about the salt and that made me think we need
- 31:06to have him on and we'll get Gabby to come back on so he she
- 31:08can listen in with us and we'll get him to tell us that story
- 31:10about salt and drop some tips on.
- 31:12Yeah, I'd like that. That kind of stuff, yeah.
- 31:16May learn how to make it there, Gabby.
- 31:18And then there's a whole other product.
- 31:22Be a good business because I know that bag we bought was like
- 31:24$25 for this tiniest bag of salt.
- 31:27I'm like that's more expensive than other stuff you buy in
- 31:29small white bags. Not that I would know, but I
- 31:36heard. Allegedly, Gabby, how did that,
- 31:41how did it start? Where, where did you say, where
- 31:44did you wake up one day and you say, I know, you know what?
- 31:48I will start a seasoning. We're going to build it from
- 31:52scratch. Here's the product that's going
- 31:54on shelves. I'm going to sell it.
- 31:56So in my group, I was always using onion, garlic, well, onion
- 32:04powder, garlic powder, celery, red pepper.
- 32:08And I just knew I wanted to make something that had all of that
- 32:13in it, you know, instead of having to grab everything all
- 32:16the time. And I mean, I still do grab
- 32:17other things at times. And I knew I wanted to base it
- 32:21around my group. I have been telling everybody in
- 32:23my group, hey, I'm working on this.
- 32:26Sooner or later I'm going to have this life took over.
- 32:32So it just took a while to get it out, but yeah, that's where
- 32:36it started. I knew that I wanted all these
- 32:38flavors in one. I didn't want to have to reach
- 32:40for everything every time. I just wanted all in one salt.
- 32:44You're. Grabbing that almost every time,
- 32:45every like all those, every time, like like let's get my
- 32:48common. This is just, yeah, this is my
- 32:49starter action. And then everything else, yeah.
- 32:51And you know the, you know the amounts and you add that if it
- 32:54even if it's a equal parts, then you add a little more of what
- 32:57you need for each individual dish to take it up a notch.
- 32:59That makes a lot of sense. Right.
- 33:02So like for Italian dishes, I usually always grab more garlic
- 33:05powder all the time, but I knew I wanted something that had
- 33:11everything in one and that's where that's where it started.
- 33:14And I really love my group. I love my little cooking group.
- 33:19I feel like overtime it kind of slowed down with growing, which
- 33:21is fine with me, but it's really a community like it really.
- 33:25I've met so many people from my cooking group and it's really
- 33:30nice. It's really nice, just like
- 33:32talking to people. Yeah.
- 33:34I don't know. It's really, it was cool.
- 33:36There's a lot of video. There's a lot of our pictures.
- 33:39There's some videos too, but a lot of pictures every day.
- 33:42I'm a member of the group and have been for for a while.
- 33:45Number one, I just like the name of it, you know, but it was, I
- 33:49started seeing it started popping up like in my feed of
- 33:52pictures of food and I'm like, oh, I think I want to be a part
- 33:55of this. So, you know, joined in and I
- 33:59don't ever share or anything in there, you know, but but yeah,
- 34:04but I probably should every now and then.
- 34:06But but yeah. So so that got started.
- 34:11How do you have you met some of these folks over time?
- 34:14Have you ever done like a meet and greet kind of deal or
- 34:17anything? Or how many admins do you have
- 34:20that help you run this just like some basic questions.
- 34:24I maybe have about 10 admin that helped me run it.
- 34:28They're local people. Some of them I've never met
- 34:31before. Some of them I know personally.
- 34:36I just like the ones that I don't know at all.
- 34:39The ones I've never met asked in the group.
- 34:41One day I was like, hey, I could use some help if anybody would
- 34:44like to. And they were like, hey, I'd
- 34:45love to. So they jumped in and we did a
- 34:49great job. I love them for what they do
- 34:52because they really help out because some people are just
- 34:54crazy in there and whoever you're in a cooking group, so
- 34:59who would ever think that would happen, but it does.
- 35:02Oh, well, I think that's why the that's why I think cooking
- 35:05content does so well. Hey, you know, I mean.
- 35:08I have the best gumbo and then this one's like, no, you don't.
- 35:11I have No, you don't. That's right.
- 35:13And I you know what? I'm a sucker for it.
- 35:15I'm like, let's go, let's I want to speak, I'll have to say.
- 35:19And then my admin deletes and I'm like no.
- 35:21No. It's.
- 35:23Too quickly I wanted to read it, but it's a great community.
- 35:28That's part of that's awesome. Yeah, that's the fun.
- 35:31You kind of like a little a little bit of controversy.
- 35:34We've got a little controversy from the other night.
- 35:37In fact, not our boy. Austin it came out of nowhere.
- 35:41It really did out of nowhere. He grew in over there, yeah.
- 35:45Yeah, Austin called out the hot night Kitchen Country cooking
- 35:48with Joni. Great guy too.
- 35:50He put on the social media meet and greet here recently and.
- 35:55So I think but Austin Dennis said you don't want none.
- 35:58That's what he told him. He said in our show none.
- 36:01And he laughed. He kind of took me.
- 36:03I love him. He don't want any.
- 36:05I was. Really surprised when he
- 36:07started, when he's like he was, he started going on about I was
- 36:09like where did this come from? This is gold, but where did this
- 36:12come from? It's really off completely.
- 36:15I was like, oh wow, Austin, that's, I feel some animosity
- 36:18and some heat there. Somewhere we're gonna have
- 36:20celebrity Cajun. Cajun Cajun food death match
- 36:24down in. I'm hearing that hearing that
- 36:27we'll get a rebuttal from Joni here soon.
- 36:30All next week stir. This continued.
- 36:33Let's stir this pot. No.
- 36:34Pun. Intended.
- 36:36Yeah, but it just goes back to food is controversy.
- 36:40I think that they're one in the same, you know, like, yeah,
- 36:44exactly. Your gumbo is my gumbo's better
- 36:47than your gumbo. I have a darker Roux.
- 36:49I actually made my Roux, you know, stuff like.
- 36:51Seafood, seafood or chicken and sausage?
- 36:54I mean do you use okra? No in your gumbo.
- 36:56Right. Do you put potato salad in your
- 36:59gumbo? A big dollar for that at the
- 37:00end, I mean. Yeah, crackers, oysters, I mean
- 37:04sweet potato coming in that gumbo.
- 37:06Wow, the first time. That's a wow, Gabby, you ever
- 37:09had sweet potato in your? I have not.
- 37:11That is a new one. That is a new one, yeah.
- 37:13Sweet potato and boiled egg, those were both in there.
- 37:16Yeah, so a. Poached egg.
- 37:18Sorry, not a boiled egg. Poached egg A.
- 37:19Poached egg. Wow.
- 37:20Poached it in the gumbo, yeah. I see people do that.
- 37:23I'm not a big fan of the gum eggs and gumbo.
- 37:26It's not for me. I like yeah, something, but
- 37:29it's. Not going to mess up the gumbo,
- 37:30so if you don't want it, you work around it.
- 37:32It's. Not I can tell you right now, I
- 37:33think the sweet potato would be for you.
- 37:36Like you said, it's money. I'm not even like a huge sweet
- 37:39potato person whatsoever. I do like potato salad in in a
- 37:42gumbo potato. Salad.
- 37:43Wait, if I that guy if I remember he was from New New
- 37:47Iberia area right? I think he was.
- 37:50And there's a lot of potatoes up there, he said.
- 37:51There's an abundance of sweet potatoes is what he said.
- 37:54So the the God, they had to figure out what to do with a lot
- 37:56of the sweet potatoes. And that's kind of how it
- 37:57started. I think that's where he's from.
- 37:59Is that where he said he was from?
- 38:00I think. That is where he said he was
- 38:01from. Yeah, that's where Gabby's from.
- 38:05I don't think we've ever actually said that, but that is
- 38:07that is where she's coming to us from 40 minutes into the show,
- 38:13whatever. Welcome to Tigs bits.
- 38:16Welcome to Tigs bits. So that's on the western, just
- 38:20for geographical sake here for anybody listening, that's on the
- 38:24western side of Louisiana towards the Texas border.
- 38:27That would be between or You're South of Lafayette, right?
- 38:31Yeah, South. South of Lafayette.
- 38:34Kind of in. Between you're right at the
- 38:36turn, right? You're like, you're at the turn
- 38:38when we start, when we go down 90 and then turn like going back
- 38:42towards Morgan City and home and stuff.
- 38:44Yeah, you're before you guys. I know exactly.
- 38:46I'm in my head now. I can think about it.
- 38:47Yeah, because if I'm leaving home and I go through Morgan
- 38:49City and I'm going to Lafayette right before I get to Lafayette.
- 38:52Yeah, it'll be us. Yeah, and then if you keep
- 38:54going, you'll go through the beautiful bustling town of
- 38:58Florine and Louisiana, where Tigs is from.
- 39:02What's the other town? It depends.
- 39:04If you're trying to get to like Shreveport and you go through
- 39:08fluorine, you done messed up. You're going to have issue.
- 39:11You're going to hit I 49 at some point in this and you're going
- 39:14to rock'n'roll. But if you're on 171, go through
- 39:18fluorine and of course, hit our good friends Shannon at
- 39:21Shannon's, Shannon's butcher block and our friends at Curtis
- 39:24Grocery there. We got a shameless plug in and
- 39:27our good friends at Toledo Bend Lake Country, they are they
- 39:31bring us this show every single week.
- 39:34So give them a shout out. We're we're not good about that
- 39:37Jr. and we're just all over the place tonight, Gabby.
- 39:40A softball right there. Welcome to a show.
- 39:42It's almost like we're live tonight, but we're not.
- 39:45It's so good and we're not having it.
- 39:48Yeah, it's fun. So tell us a little bit about
- 39:51your family dynamics. Gabby.
- 39:53You've got a son and a daughter, husband.
- 39:59How so? Full disclosure, this morning
- 40:03whenever I texted her that whole call back to the the couch
- 40:07comment, she told me that her husband was a streamer.
- 40:14And I was like, okay, cool, what is he, what's he streaming?
- 40:16So I'm like, perfect. Well, she's got this set up.
- 40:19Is it going to be, this is going to be a piece of cake, a
- 40:21streamer. Yeah, so a streamer.
- 40:23I'm like, what is he streaming? And no he.
- 40:27So what does he do? Trades Futures.
- 40:29So yes. Oh, OK, stock stuff.
- 40:31So I thought I was going to be set up in his room, in his
- 40:34office, but it's really dark. And then ultimately you're not
- 40:38well, it's a lovely, it's a lovely room.
- 40:40Thank you. Christmas tree back there so.
- 40:42Great backdrop, great back. Very good backdrop.
- 40:45No, no tech, no stock dark office.
- 40:51Yeah, you chose. You chose well.
- 40:53That's awesome. That's cool.
- 40:55Yeah, it really is. And and like Blake said, gamer,
- 40:57there's so many options. We were saying that a few weeks
- 40:59ago on one of our shows that the things when we were kids you
- 41:02dreamed about to grow up and do it changed so much what the
- 41:05options are to do. Like all these things that are
- 41:07available now. When we were growing up, we
- 41:09didn't even know these were going to be options.
- 41:10Now I still don't know what I want to do.
- 41:12I don't know. I think.
- 41:15It's starting. You're going to be a streamer
- 41:18too, it looks like of some sort. Maybe one day.
- 41:20Maybe y'all could do a combo show and get a sponsor a food
- 41:24and. A.
- 41:25Financial sponsor, Yeah, cooking futures.
- 41:28And he's got the graph. It's bits production and.
- 41:31You're making gumbo. We got to get ourself in
- 41:33somehow. There we go.
- 41:34Damn right. We just sit there like the
- 41:39peanut gallery, like the like the guys from What's that show,
- 41:42The Muppets or whatever. We just sat there and we just
- 41:44talk about it. We're just sitting up there.
- 41:46We'll build this whole show on y'all show.
- 41:49We'll be happy to. We do that already.
- 41:51We do. We do that later.
- 41:54Great. Sorry about that, Gabby.
- 41:55Oh no, no. But yeah, I I mean I, I have 4
- 41:59jobs I think right now. Holy cow.
- 42:02Yeah, I was going to ask. You said I don't know what I
- 42:05want to do. That's wow.
- 42:06Well, she told me, she told me this afternoon she was making
- 42:09sure we were going on tonight at at this time and and she said
- 42:13sorry, I just got out of surgery and I went, wait, what?
- 42:17You just got out of surgery. You look what we need for.
- 42:20Somebody just got out of surgery.
- 42:21Is there another? Should we maybe do this another
- 42:23time? Is there a better time?
- 42:25So and I didn't ask. I did say I'd save that for the
- 42:30show. So what the hell did that mean?
- 42:31Yeah, you just came in a search. I work in oral and facial
- 42:34surgery. OK, so you used to work full
- 42:38time doing this. I would travel to Lake Charles
- 42:41one day. I was like, you know what?
- 42:43I'm over it. I don't want to travel anymore.
- 42:46I feel like I'm getting old. And I was like, I'm no, I don't
- 42:50want to do it anymore. So I actually quit and then I
- 42:55went and learned how to do permanent makeup.
- 42:58So I do that now, permanent makeup.
- 42:59And then my job call me and we're like, please come back.
- 43:02Just work part time in New Iberia for us two days a week.
- 43:05And I was like, great, I would love to do that.
- 43:08So I do that permanent makeup. Is that like an office based
- 43:11setting like with the surgery? Is that like AASC or something
- 43:14or a? Yeah, at a doctor's office.
- 43:16It's you're in a. Office like an office based lab
- 43:18they've got. OK, that's cool.
- 43:20Yeah, I'm in medical device healthcare stuff too.
- 43:23So yeah. So then that's, that's awesome.
- 43:25So you do that and then you and then what else are you doing
- 43:28that are you doing like the the string eyebrow thing?
- 43:32No, it's like tattoos. I'm I'm tattooing with your
- 43:35eyebrows. OK, yeah, tell us a little bit
- 43:39more about that because I've wondered and Blasey, I'm glad
- 43:42that you asked that because I, I've seen at my house in
- 43:47Florida, Blasey, we've seen a lady with the needling thing,
- 43:50whatever that is, exactly. And but I don't know if men do
- 43:55this or not, Gabby, But what, what would?
- 43:57I've got a nice full set of eyebrows right now.
- 43:59I. See that?
- 44:00Like a reduction, I need a reduction not not more.
- 44:04But how does that work? Pull mine out.
- 44:06So it's basically just a tattoo, but I numb you, so I'm going to
- 44:11numb you up, put your cream on, let you sit for about 30
- 44:15minutes, and then we go to town. It's like, it's like, it's like
- 44:20your paint. It takes about two hours or so.
- 44:23So it's like a, so you're going like under the skin like.
- 44:26Under the tattoo, yes. Yeah, first layers there.
- 44:29OK, Wow. Cool.
- 44:31Wow. Now some guys do it.
- 44:32I did learn how to do hair follicles like the fake hair
- 44:35follicles. A lot of I saw a guy on Kill
- 44:38Tony. Yeah.
- 44:39That had that and it was terrible.
- 44:41Yeah, it was not that, but I mean, it was like his whole
- 44:44head. Yeah.
- 44:45Like it was he's a dude who needed to shave his head.
- 44:47It was, he was beyond hope. And it wasn't just like a little
- 44:51fill in kind of deal that no, it didn't work.
- 44:56So I learned how to do that, but I never got into it.
- 44:59I was like, Oh yeah, no, not for me.
- 45:01So yeah, yes, that. And then I teach workout classes
- 45:06and during the summer I do swimming lessons.
- 45:10I teach swimming lessons. Wow.
- 45:12And then you've got your seasoning slinging on the side
- 45:14and all where let me ask you this on your seasoning, where
- 45:17all can you like, where are you right now?
- 45:19Like as far as somebody wants to get your seasoning, you know, So
- 45:22how do you get some of that? What you cook in Cajun
- 45:24seasoning? Right now I'm in three local
- 45:27stores in New Iberia, Bilo, Millside, LaSalle Gas, or you
- 45:33can reach out to me. I'll ship if someone needs it.
- 45:36I'm starting to venture out. I've made it into New News 2
- 45:41local boutiques. Actually, yes, I just made it to
- 45:44New News and I'm talking with a few other people to get into
- 45:47some stores. It's kind of nerve wracking
- 45:49reaching out to people and be like, hey, do you want this in
- 45:52your store? It's kind of, I don't know.
- 45:55Walk us through that process. I'm kind of curious as to and
- 45:58it's something that we've had these other folks on that
- 46:01haven't really ever asked like how's the sales call go?
- 46:05So my first few they reached out to me.
- 46:10Thankfully I was like, thank you.
- 46:14Yes, yes. One lady was like, hey, I've
- 46:16been, you're in my store every day.
- 46:18Are you going to ask me? And I'm like, ask you what I'm
- 46:23like. Well, my first store that I
- 46:27ventured out to, which is a local store, everyone was like,
- 46:31you need to go here. We want you, we want your season
- 46:33in here. And I was like, all right, I'm
- 46:34going to do it. I'm going to do it.
- 46:35And when my husband's around, I don't like him to like right
- 46:41now, I hear him in the kitchen. But I told him I was like, I
- 46:43don't want you in here. It makes me nervous.
- 46:45I don't want him recording video you.
- 46:47Don't want him to stand over there and look at you.
- 46:49Like, yeah, because that's what he's going to do.
- 46:50He's going to stare at me and he's going to make me nervous.
- 46:52So I told him I was like, OK, we're going to go to the store.
- 46:54I said, but I'm going to get down.
- 46:56I'm going to go by myself. So I went in and I was like, hi.
- 46:59I was like, I have a few local people who shop here often.
- 47:02They wanted me to see if you guys would like to carry my
- 47:05seasoning. And he was like, Nope, we're
- 47:08full, the season and shelf is full.
- 47:10And I was like, okay, okay. And I mean, that's basically how
- 47:16it goes. It's very nerve wracking, very
- 47:19nerve wracking. Yeah, I'm in sales, so I get it.
- 47:23I I get him too. You get a lot more no's than yes
- 47:26is. And if that's not your strong
- 47:29suit, that might be something that you need to do outsource,
- 47:31you know, find somebody of a friend, a family member, Tigs,
- 47:34somebody who will, who will be the person to reach out and and
- 47:38try to make those sales things that way.
- 47:40It's kind of like playing the good cop, bad cop, Justin.
- 47:42I do it on the road all the time.
- 47:43I shine him up. He comes in, says a few things.
- 47:46Tell him what he needs, you know, boom, boom, boom.
- 47:48Yeah, Sometimes it works better that way.
- 47:50That way you can concentrate on what you need to be really
- 47:53focusing your energy on. You know, I'm just a thought
- 47:55though. That's right.
- 47:56And I know some of our good friends at Rouses listen to this
- 47:59show. So hopefully they're going to
- 48:01call you in the next week or two and they'll make it easy and no
- 48:04hassle on that. But we're going to work on that.
- 48:06One way or the other I want to try this.
- 48:09I haven't had a chance to get any.
- 48:10I'd love to send you guys some. Please do and we'll and we'll
- 48:14make sure to feature it on the Bubba show and maybe we can get
- 48:17Pub somebody in Florida paying attention to get with Publix.
- 48:20And that's how it needs to work 'cause I know I go through there
- 48:23and I've tried and no knock on it, I'm not going to name any
- 48:26names, but I've tried some of the no salt, low salt seasonings
- 48:28at Rouses before and I quit just because they never had enough
- 48:34flavor to get the job done. But I'm always wanting to try
- 48:39one. And that would be a strong
- 48:40selling point to anybody. Like, you know, people are
- 48:42asking for this and they don't find it on your shelves.
- 48:46I really think we should give this a shot.
- 48:48Here's a box. If they say no, well, here's my
- 48:50card. If you change your mind, let me
- 48:51know. I'll be down the street at the
- 48:53bigger store, you know, kind of deal.
- 48:55And I just think that that would be something that a lot of
- 49:00people that eat the way we do and live the live where we do
- 49:04would be interested in, you know?
- 49:05Yeah. Yeah, it's a, it's a very, you
- 49:10know it. Everyone down here, we eat.
- 49:13We don't eat the best, you know, in Louisiana, we.
- 49:16Really know that? It's the sea salt is really
- 49:19help. It's really helping in that
- 49:20aspect. So I don't know.
- 49:23I hope, I hope everybody likes it and we'll see where it goes,
- 49:28you know? Yeah, it looks good, I know.
- 49:30I can't wait to try so but no it's perfect.
- 49:33I was like, I it's funny, I was actually just reading the bio
- 49:35stuff, the real bio, and I was like, those are just, that's
- 49:39something I throw in everything, you know, it was just so basic,
- 49:41you know, like usually it's like all these other things which are
- 49:44great too. But I'm like, yeah, that sounds
- 49:45interesting. But this just sounds like, well,
- 49:47this is what I use almost every day.
- 49:48Right, right. It's basic.
- 49:50Yeah, it is basic. And I knew I wanted to keep
- 49:53sugar out of it. A lot of people have sugar in
- 49:55there. A lot of people have paprika.
- 49:57I didn't want to put any of that.
- 49:58I just wanted your basic things and.
- 50:01It's basic, but it still differentiates itself from other
- 50:04stuff because, you know, other stuff tries to go off and do its
- 50:08own little thing, you know, so. It's got those flavors, it's
- 50:11going to packages it. Who?
- 50:13Who's your Packer? Louisiana House of Spice
- 50:17actually notice all right that you guys talked to David.
- 50:20Yeah, we did. Yeah.
- 50:21I'm, I'm looking at his card card right here.
- 50:24And that's why I was I was thinking I was like New Iberia,
- 50:29they're in New Iberia. This sounds like.
- 50:31And if I wonder if they're wonder if they're making this
- 50:34and they have they have one that's not not like what you
- 50:37have at all. Yours is an all-purpose
- 50:39seasoning. But they gave us a sample and
- 50:42y'all haven't had this yet, boys.
- 50:43Sorry. It's called the Cajun 180.
- 50:46And because they do everything in reverse, you know, like we
- 50:49should, like we played the other night on the on the deal and
- 50:52salt is the last ingredient on it, but it has a lot of the
- 50:56Trinity basically in it and garlic and stuff.
- 50:59I put it because I wanted to test it just on chicken thighs
- 51:03the other day and it was phenomenal.
- 51:05Just chicken thighs and they he kept going in on like compound
- 51:08butters and stuff like that. But just any anything, hers
- 51:13would be more of like that traditional.
- 51:15I'm assuming this without trying it will give I will give the
- 51:18proper review at some point. We all will give a proper
- 51:21review. But I think yours is going to be
- 51:23more like our like our buddy T Russ is Cypress dust.
- 51:27It's going to be more like that Creole with a little kick with
- 51:31all of the the goodness of a Trinity.
- 51:34Am I right? Is that kind of?
- 51:36Oh yeah. Yeah, I mean.
- 51:37Excited about it going. Wrong with no sugar, has David.
- 51:42So you won't burn stuff. With the kick in it.
- 51:45Yeah, there you go. Like it.
- 51:46Yeah, like anything with a kick in it, you know?
- 51:48And that's, and I love stuff like that.
- 51:50And me, it's like I grew up on Lowry seasoning salt in Alabama
- 51:53for a Turkey sandwich, for a ham sandwich, anything like that.
- 51:55But I love trying these type new stuff and that sounds like
- 51:58something perfect for a Turkey and mayonnaise sandwich.
- 52:01Yes, yes. I rode in a parade Saturday
- 52:03night and I made chicken salad sandwiches for everybody and I
- 52:06just sprinkled it on top and it was just perfect.
- 52:08Just a little sprinkling. That on the Turkey.
- 52:10It was good. I saw, I saw somebody say made a

- 53:17Yeah. Well, Gabby, I think we're we're
- 53:20we're reaching a point in the show where we get to kind of
- 53:24like we've had a lot of fun from the whole jump.
- 53:28But we have a little segment of our show that we haven't got to
- 53:31do this whole year or I haven't done and not a whole year, but
- 53:35like in a couple of months. We've been busy and boys, I
- 53:39don't know if y'all know this. This probably going to be our
- 53:41last interview of the year. Wow.
- 53:43Well no wait, we've got one Wednesday.
- 53:45Never. Mind.
- 53:45Oh yeah. After that, but we'll wrap it
- 53:47up. We're the last female artist of
- 53:50the year will be absolutely for sure, for sure.
- 53:54But we like to play a little thing, and there's no right or
- 53:57wrong answers. We'd like to play a little thing
- 54:00called Little Bits of Controversy.
- 54:04And Blasey is the host of this segment.
- 54:08So yeah, have your sip of wine. Sit back.
- 54:11Relax. Yeah.
- 54:13Let's see what you got for us tonight.
- 54:16Very easy stuff here, very easy stuff.
- 54:18We'll start off we'll get her warmed up, you know, so when it
- 54:20comes to crawfish, I mean, do you dust your crawfish or do you
- 54:24not dust your crawfish like with season?
- 54:27Both both OK we're. Going with both.
- 54:30You're going to ride the fence on this, Gabby, and you're going
- 54:32to. I haven't seen anybody ride the
- 54:33fence the first time. No.
- 54:34It's an interesting move. I like it on my fingers.
- 54:37I like it, but oh, you do. Yeah, I only peel my.
- 54:41That doesn't bother. You I don't like it in on all my
- 54:43fingers. I only peel crawfish like this,
- 54:45but I like the seasoning on the outside.
- 54:47So you don't wear gloves? I don't want Oh no, Oh no I.
- 54:51Like her? That's interesting.
- 54:52OK, Yeah, right. That's that's that's
- 54:54interesting. All right, I like it.
- 54:57All right, so let's let's advance this a little bit more.
- 54:59So you know, we talked about I thought you were a drone expert
- 55:02when you came on the show. So I was already prepared to
- 55:04talk about drones tonight and what's going on up in New Jersey
- 55:07and these drones coming out over the water and appearing and 50
- 55:11at a time and then disappearing back into the water wherever
- 55:14they're going. Crazy stuff, right?
- 55:17I've been I don't know if you've been following any of this
- 55:19stuff, but it's pretty wild. Have you been following it?
- 55:22First of all, like all these drones in New Jersey and stuff.
- 55:25No, I heard about it today when I was at work.
- 55:28One of the girls, she works in the Army and she worked, she's
- 55:32in the Army and she brought it up today and I hadn't heard
- 55:35anything about that yet. Did she give a position on that?
- 55:39Like did she say what she thought it was?
- 55:41Because the like apparently the government says they have no
- 55:43idea what it is. The government says it's not us.
- 55:47The government says it's not a foreign entity.
- 55:49But they said don't get guys relax it's nothing don't worry
- 55:52about it. Like dude, that is such a psyop
- 55:55to get us all scared for some reason and something they're
- 55:58trying to round down our throat from a government standpoint to
- 56:01control, like to buy a new law something.
- 56:03It's a work, dude. You talk about a work like this
- 56:06is like, this is a work. This is a work.
- 56:08That's what I was going to ask you.
- 56:09I didn't know. So you hadn't seen a lot of it,
- 56:10you know, like, but my first thought was that what do you
- 56:13think it is? She said she just thinks, you
- 56:17know, they know what it is, but they're not going to tell us, of
- 56:20course. So she said she went down a
- 56:23couple wormholes last night and I was like, so all right, come
- 56:27on, come on, give us the juice. And she just said that they,
- 56:32they know what it is. You know something, you don't
- 56:35have something flying in the air that big and they don't know
- 56:38what it is. And they're just saying, oh,
- 56:39it's everything is fine, you guys, everything is fine.
- 56:42But that's all she said is that they know.
- 56:45They know. It's crazy.
- 56:47What do you boys think about that?
- 56:49Like, I mean, I don't want to stay here too long, but man,
- 56:52this is kind of crazy stuff I hadn't really dug into.
- 56:54It, I'm aware of the headline, but I, I hadn't dug into it.
- 56:57Really. I've been, I've told somebody
- 56:58the other day I'm, you know, I've kind of checked out on it
- 57:01since the election. I don't, I have no conspiracies,
- 57:04no news watching. I don't even watch my local
- 57:06news. I just keep, I look at the
- 57:08weather on my phone. I'm, I'm checked out till
- 57:10Christmas, boys. Santa Claus is over.
- 57:11I'll be back on the clock. All these conspiracies and all
- 57:14this high level stuff. But, but, but if I had to make
- 57:19an educated guess, just off the top of my thing with a little
- 57:22thinking, I think it's the aliens we've been talking about
- 57:23for the last couple months that live in the water and all those
- 57:25things. I think that's them popping up
- 57:27in different places letting us know, yeah, it's real.
- 57:30It could be, it could be, you know, it could be.
- 57:33I don't really believe that Gabby, I just say.
- 57:34That yes, he does. But it could be.
- 57:37But he could. Go back and watch something.
- 57:43What do you think? Tick nasty.
- 57:44I think it's, I think it's we have a nuclear warhead that's
- 57:47capable of destroying an entire city that is leaked into the
- 57:51United States from the Ukraine. And we're looking for it.
- 57:54And we're looking for and. Those things, yeah, those.
- 57:56Things and that's what's happening.
- 57:57I think it's. There's like, that's what's
- 57:59happening. Like it's a Die Hard movie.
- 58:01Christmas Eve coming up. Somebody's got to save us.
- 58:03This nuclear warheads coming into the country somewhere and
- 58:06being escorted by these drones. Are they sniffing them out?
- 58:10They're looking. For they're looking for the gas.
- 58:12They're looking for the gas. For the gas.
- 58:14To find it, no. Matter what, it's a weird
- 58:19situation. What if it's, what if it's a
- 58:20bunch of kids? It's a bunch of hackers in New
- 58:22Jersey that are drone, It's a drone club of a bunch of
- 58:25teenagers. You know, I mean, that's used.
- 58:27That's probably what it is. They're going to find a group of
- 58:28kids in there and they're all control them because one of
- 58:30them's dad's rich and they bought a crap ton of $15,000
- 58:33drones and they got a horde of them over there playing games.
- 58:37You know, like war. Games Senator or something?
- 58:41Of. Course we get off on a tangent.
- 58:45No, it's fine. See, I was out.
- 58:46They brought me back in. Y'all pull me back.
- 58:48In I'm not, I'm not, I'm not going to engage in these
- 58:50conspiracies until you ask me and then I will do it.
- 58:53That's what that guy I do not. Anyway, Brantley, I think you
- 58:58said I've got like one or two more, but didn't you say you
- 59:01might have one or two questions on this?
- 59:02I got a. Couple.
- 59:03I do. I've got a couple, let's say
- 59:07this. All right, so what's playing in
- 59:11the background when you're cooking?
- 59:14Music podcast, Silence if music, what's playing?
- 59:20Let's see my playlist right here.
- 59:23Boom. Always.
- 59:28We're going to go with three more days Radio.
- 59:32So are you a Pandora girl or Spotify Apple?
- 59:36What you using? Spotify.
- 59:39Like her? Spot on.
- 59:40Yep, Yep, Yep. Every time, yeah.
- 59:45Every time. So it it's one of the that's the
- 59:47beauty of Spotify's the playlist continuously update or some of
- 59:51them that's probably one of them that that does.
- 59:53So it's different just, you know, keeps coming and going.
- 59:57Yeah, I have a cooking playlist and my car and, you know, alone.
- 1:00:02So different, yeah, just where you're setting is, yeah.
- 1:00:05Yeah, that makes sense. I like it.
- 1:00:08I. Think I think I'd be remiss
- 1:00:12based off of what she said earlier about being doing some
- 1:00:18fitness instruction and a question that I posed so many
- 1:00:21times over the course of the last three months.
- 1:00:24It tells from the tailgate how much bench.
- 1:00:31Sounds so good. I didn't see that coming.
- 1:00:34For some dumb reason I did not see that coming.
- 1:00:37You caught me by surprise. That's so good.
- 1:00:40Good question. That's a great question.
- 1:00:43I don't that's that's not. The you don't beach there.
- 1:00:46It is no but so. I teach like.
- 1:00:49What do? What do you teach?
- 1:00:50Lagree, it's a form of. It's like Pilates almost.
- 1:00:55That's the best way to describe it.
- 1:00:58We're on a big reformer machine and you have to go as slow as
- 1:01:03possible, slow as possible. All your moves have to be
- 1:01:07extremely. Slow movement time like the
- 1:01:09whole Bruce Lee type stuff back in the day, huh?
- 1:01:12Yeah. Move it through clay.
- 1:01:14Yeah. That's what DDP.
- 1:01:16Oh, also that stuff you want to have that motion through pushing
- 1:01:19through things, being fluid. Yeah, yeah, Gabby, whip your
- 1:01:22ass. What would happen?
- 1:01:24For sure, For sure. Hey, I got a question and I
- 1:01:27don't know when this show's coming out because they don't
- 1:01:29tell me anything. They barely.
- 1:01:30Tell me we don't either. I don't.
- 1:01:31I don't know either. But either post or post or pre
- 1:01:35Christmas whenever this does come out.
- 1:01:37What's your favorite Christmas song?
- 1:01:38Gabby. Oh, I think Feliz Navidad.
- 1:01:44That's a good. One or I can't think of what
- 1:01:47it's called. Something of carols.
- 1:01:50It's from home alone. I like their soundtrack.
- 1:01:54Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yes, yeah. I know what you're talking
- 1:01:57about. I've seen.
- 1:01:58It on some base. But on some, yes, that's it.
- 1:02:00It's Carol of the Belt. So yeah, I know what you're
- 1:02:04talking. About We heard a song today
- 1:02:06called Christmas Blues by a guy named Uncle Eddie on the R&B
- 1:02:10channel. It was pretty good.
- 1:02:11Y'all have to check that out. That'll be my lesson of the day.
- 1:02:13My wife loves Feliz Navidad, also Gabby because her name is
- 1:02:16Cherise. So when she was little her they,
- 1:02:18her mom and sister be like Cherise Navidad.
- 1:02:21So yeah, of course. So we always get a kick out of
- 1:02:24that one. Yeah, I love it.

- 1:02:40It's so hard. It's it's perfect.
- 1:02:42It's the we, we've, we've decided that's the perfect
- 1:02:44champion. Anyone in a King of the Hill two
- 1:02:47to 100, that's the best movie you're going to find.
- 1:02:49It's everybody's, it's in some part of it's everybody's life
- 1:02:53and situation. Somehow you can relate to some
- 1:02:55part. Of it.
- 1:02:56Oh yeah. Oh, yeah.
- 1:02:57There's no, it's it's a good movie.
- 1:02:59It's a good movie classic for sure.
- 1:03:01I do like the Santa Claus with Tim Allen.
- 1:03:04Yeah, yeah. That's a good one.
- 1:03:05Yeah, that's good stuff too. I like Bad Santa as well.
- 1:03:08It's a total opposite, yeah. Mentally.
- 1:03:12Watch Bad Santa tonight. Who else?
- 1:03:14Bad Santa who played? Oh, what's what's his name?
- 1:03:17Billy Ball. Land man, land man.
- 1:03:20He wears, you know, he wears women's jeans now and two hats.
- 1:03:23That's a, that's a thing that's interesting he talked about on
- 1:03:26the show. And I was like, really?
- 1:03:28Really. Yes he did.
- 1:03:29He wore 2 ads. He wore 2 and they asked you
- 1:03:31why? He said a band he used to know
- 1:03:32did it. He thought it was cool, so he's
- 1:03:34going to start doing it. And then he was on, I think it
- 1:03:36was holding Jenna this morning or yesterday morning asked Yeah,
- 1:03:39he wears size 7 woman's pants now because he's got little
- 1:03:42legs, he says, and regular men's pants or two, you know, and I've
- 1:03:46been around him once or twice, but that's a lot of times with
- 1:03:49celebrities and stuff, man, that's a different hole out
- 1:03:51there. They wear with pants.
- 1:03:53You know, I get it, whatever I mean, or you can just find some
- 1:03:56guys pants that fit properly. I mean, you know, but whatever
- 1:03:59you want to do about it, whatever, you know, he, you
- 1:04:01know, he's from, he's from Malvern, AR he's from no nowhere
- 1:04:05Arkansas, Yeah, which is a a town of, I don't know, 10,000
- 1:04:08people. Maybe he's.
- 1:04:09Such a good actor. Dude.
- 1:04:10I'd love him. He feels so good.
- 1:04:12He's so good at what he does. And I have not watched that land
- 1:04:15man and and for and you know, we're going to do a show soon,
- 1:04:18Gabby. And they sent me the list over
- 1:04:19of like the top 20 or 30 shows of all time.
- 1:04:23And looking through that list, y'all and a lot of them are
- 1:04:25newer shows. I've only seen literally like
- 1:04:27three of those shows ever. I don't watch any of those.
- 1:04:30If something super popular and everybody's watching it, you can
- 1:04:32just go on and count on. I ain't watching.
- 1:04:34Yeah, I don't keep up really with TV shows or anything like
- 1:04:38that, really. Me, either I watch the reason I
- 1:04:41watching reruns of Friends or Golden Girls or a team or Magnum
- 1:04:45Pi or something. OK, Yeah, reruns.
- 1:04:48Hey Dexter, watch TV. There's a new thing of Dexter on
- 1:04:51right now. So good.
- 1:04:53See, I watch. That Do you watch TV at all,
- 1:04:56Gabby? Any shows that you like?
- 1:04:59No, no, I just watched. I watched Ozark.
- 1:05:04I really, I like Jason Bate. Oh, that's great.
- 1:05:06Ozark was good. Yes, my husband tried to get me
- 1:05:11to watch The Office, but it's just.
- 1:05:14I don't know. I didn't.
- 1:05:17I didn't. You can't get into it.
- 1:05:18No, like I like it, but then I don't know.
- 1:05:22I don't know. You got too much stuff going on.
- 1:05:25Yeah, yeah. It's like you you start thinking
- 1:05:29I could probably be doing something else with my time
- 1:05:31right now besides. Watching, I feel like I've been
- 1:05:33really warped with my phone lately and I want to get out of
- 1:05:36that, you know, for like the next week or two.
- 1:05:39It's just trying to keep up with everything.
- 1:05:41It's like life is such a rat race and.
- 1:05:47And everything you do adds more to it.
- 1:05:49You try to do something to alleviate something and you just
- 1:05:52end up adding more. Yeah.
- 1:05:54Just another layer. Another layer.
- 1:05:55Yeah, never end. Yeah, it's never ending rat
- 1:05:58race. And so I don't know, I'm not
- 1:06:02lately I haven't been watching any shows or anything and I
- 1:06:06don't know, maybe I should find something to get into late soon.
- 1:06:10Well. I mean, sometimes man.
- 1:06:12Would be a great place to start here.
- 1:06:14I tell you right now with all their shows, I mean, they're so
- 1:06:17good. You got land, man.
- 1:06:18You got that Sylvester Stallone show that's on there.
- 1:06:21I just found it. It's really good.
- 1:06:24I can't crap Tulsa King. Tulsa King Yeah.
- 1:06:26Then then the other one they just did, that's out right now
- 1:06:30too. I can't think of it, but it's
- 1:06:31the same guy from Yellowstone that did all three of them, you
- 1:06:33know, include Yellowstone four. Yeah, it's good.
- 1:06:37And then? Gabby, did you ever watch did
- 1:06:39you ever watch any Anthony Bourdains TV shows?

- 1:07:26I had a crush on her. I really like her.
- 1:07:29I really like her. You know, what I've always taken
- 1:07:31away is your trash bowl. Whenever you're cooking, you put
- 1:07:35all your, you know, your little onions, whatever you call them,
- 1:07:39you put them in the bowl, put all your trash in the bowl, and
- 1:07:41then you just throw the whole bowl away.

- 1:08:38Italian lady, yes. I love that.
- 1:08:41And you know what that makes sense?
- 1:08:44Watching your videos, watching what you cook, watching your
- 1:08:47style. That is your style.
- 1:08:49That's your style. That's awesome.
- 1:08:51It totally makes it makes sense. I look that's the fun of doing
- 1:08:55this is kind of peeling everything back unveiling,
- 1:08:58seeing every kind of like what makes the videos that we watch
- 1:09:03of you guys like who are y'all really like?
- 1:09:06Who are you really? And it's cool cuz.
- 1:09:08You're normally when. You in the video.
- 1:09:10Peel it off. It just usually everybody's a
- 1:09:11culmination of their experiences and their influences.
- 1:09:14So, you know, it started with your mom and then these people
- 1:09:16you saw on television and then your friends and you partners,
- 1:09:19you know. Yeah, I love.
- 1:09:20It that's great. That's right.
- 1:09:22That's right. Hey, Gabby, we do have one more.
- 1:09:24I got one more question for. You what you got.
- 1:09:26I'm just curious, like kind of going back to kind of like pop
- 1:09:28culture and a few things happening in that arena.
- 1:09:31I mean, how much of like, so Hulk Hogan, I don't know if
- 1:09:34you're familiar with Hulk Hogan. OK.
- 1:09:36So of his success that he's had, his comeback he's had, and the
- 1:09:39wealth that he's been able to build, how much of that do you
- 1:09:42think he he owes to Bubba the Love Sponge?
- 1:09:45To the what? I'm just wondering of the
- 1:09:48success that he's had later in his career, in the last part of
- 1:09:51his career, he's been able to build a tremendous amount of
- 1:09:53wealth. I mean, how much of that do you
- 1:09:55think he really owes to Bubba the Love Sponge?
- 1:09:59Wait, wait. Well, I don't even know.
- 1:10:11I don't even know what you're saying in the end.
- 1:10:14That's there's a there's a there's a radio personality from
- 1:10:18Tampa, FL named Bubba the Love Sponge.
- 1:10:21Love Sponge? That's his love sponge.
- 1:10:24He's been on radio down there forever.
- 1:10:26He was Hulk Hogan's best friend. They had a big falling out
- 1:10:29because they had this sex tape scandal with their wives or
- 1:10:31something, and that was what the big went to.
- 1:10:34He got paid, went to court and all that.
- 1:10:37They're not friends anymore. Bubba's still on the radio down
- 1:10:39in Tampa. Hulk Hogan still lives in Tampa.
- 1:10:41And it's weird, but Bubba, we, we actually, they host our show,
- 1:10:45one of our shows on Bubba's radio network, his podcast
- 1:10:48network. So we're friends with Bubba
- 1:10:50Blacy's like one of his best friends.
- 1:10:52And he has to ask that. Usually it's just a thing to see
- 1:10:56if anyone knows who Bubba is or. Not so I I did.
- 1:10:59Some not wrong for not knowing it's.
- 1:11:01Totally just OK, so I. Did some bullying today.
- 1:11:05And I, I read Bubba a bunch of times, but I was like, OK, Blasi
- 1:11:09is not Bubba, but Bubba. And I was like, is that Bubba?
- 1:11:15Who's Bubba? What?
- 1:11:17Who's? We all look like we could be
- 1:11:19Bubba. We all look like our.
- 1:11:20Names are fat. Those are his fat men.
- 1:11:22Dunks. That's his shoes.
- 1:11:23OK, so I was. Yeah, he's dunking a donut.
- 1:11:26Yeah, this guy, this. Guy was in wrestling for a
- 1:11:29little while too. He's a big personality on
- 1:11:31morning radio down out of Tampa in Orlando, South Florida area
- 1:11:35and then doing it for but he was in wrestling and stuff, but had
- 1:11:37this big scandal with his wife and Hulk Hogan and a sex tape
- 1:11:40like, you know, 15, 20 years ago or something.
- 1:11:42It's still a big stink and he's still Bubba still brings it up
- 1:11:46every 30 seconds and is bitter about it.
- 1:11:49And but he's went on to do all kinds of great things anyway.
- 1:11:52And he's just, it's a weird thing, but we have to ask it
- 1:11:55because it's part of our it's part of our network.
- 1:11:57They're our friends and all that we love.
- 1:11:59Them it's just funny. And he gets a kick out of it.
- 1:12:02He doesn't get offended. He loves it.
- 1:12:03He just loves hearing his name. Bubba blah blah blah blah blah
- 1:12:05blah blah blah. And you may have given us the
- 1:12:08best reaction of the entire year.
- 1:12:10That's. Good.
- 1:12:12I haven't even heard Hulk Hogan's name and I don't even
- 1:12:15know how long. Well, it's because he got paid
- 1:12:18$100 million from the sex tape from Gawker, and then he's.
- 1:12:23Going to work now. Now he's got a little.
- 1:12:26Bit more He's got beer. He's got a beer now.
- 1:12:28He's selling Hulk Hogan's All American Beer or something.
- 1:12:31He's going to. Liquor stores What does Brooke
- 1:12:33do? Where?
- 1:12:34What happened with her? Where did she go?
- 1:12:36That's. A good question.
- 1:12:37I met her in Nashville one time right after, like when she was
- 1:12:40trying to do her music thing. She is tall.
- 1:12:42I'm gonna say that first. How tall?
- 1:12:43How tall is she? Taller than me?
- 1:12:45I'm 6/1 and she's taller than me.
- 1:12:48So she's 62. How?
- 1:12:49Tall are you Gabby 6? She's at least 6 foot.
- 1:12:52She like if she had heels on and was taller than me.
- 1:12:54I know I had boots on. I wasn't in flip flop.
- 1:12:56So I mean I'm 61 all day. So she was as tall as I am.
- 1:13:00Yeah. What from what I?
- 1:13:01Remember, I used a music career, though.
- 1:13:02I used. To drink a lot of dead, right?
- 1:13:05Been like 20 years. Yeah, as far as I know, I don't.
- 1:13:08I don't know if anything ever happened with her music.
- 1:13:10I know his son had got in some trouble and then.
- 1:13:12They got a couple Duis and stuff.
- 1:13:14He was back out. They're probably just laying low
- 1:13:16and counting Hulk's money. I'm hoping that's right, or
- 1:13:19Bubba's money or somebody. 'S money somebody's.
- 1:13:21Money. Somebody's.
- 1:13:22Money. It's Bubba's money, ain't it
- 1:13:23Gabby? That's Bubba.
- 1:13:24'S money. That's Bubba.
- 1:13:25Bubba didn't paid anything and they all got rich, Yeah.
- 1:13:29Poor guy. It's so crazy.
- 1:13:30It really is this job. I'm not and I'm not a huge like
- 1:13:34debater on this thing. I'm just because I'm not.
- 1:13:36I wasn't a Bubba Army guy until I met these guys.
- 1:13:38But looking at it from a a new set of eyes and, you know, ears,
- 1:13:44it looks like Bubba got hosed on this deal.
- 1:13:46It just does. It really does.
- 1:13:48It's like Hogan got paid, Bubba got fired, and the guy that that
- 1:13:51Bubba got his job? Nobody.
- 1:13:53Got screwed and Bubba got divorced later on so throw those
- 1:13:58on into the whole met. And they stole it.
- 1:14:00He didn't give it to him. Somebody stole it from him,
- 1:14:02stole it from his desk, all these things.
- 1:14:05They tried to hold him up, say give us $1,000,000, we won't let
- 1:14:07it out. And nobody got in trouble for
- 1:14:09any of this extortion or anything.
- 1:14:11It's so crazy, unbelievable. Anyway, so now you know who
- 1:14:14Bubba is. So next time, next time you come
- 1:14:17home, you'll know who Bubba. Is I will know.
- 1:14:20Oh, this. It's funny.
- 1:14:21But we but they're, but they're good and they, they help our
- 1:14:23radio, they help our podcast out and they'll make sure to plug
- 1:14:26this stuff for us. He and Seth, who runs his
- 1:14:28podcast department, are good people and they help us a lot.
- 1:14:31They're big food and, and southern culture folks too.
- 1:14:34So I'm hoping this will get spread around on everything.
- 1:14:37I. Was trying to do my homework
- 1:14:39today and you know. Saw that Bubba?
- 1:14:42But Bubba, I don't know who Bubba was.
- 1:14:45I was getting confused. I was.
- 1:14:46And it's what else this is not a little bits of controversy
- 1:14:50question, but what else did you notice from the outside that
- 1:14:53made you maybe quite any other questions or like who is this
- 1:14:57Bubba character? Anything else that popped out
- 1:15:00this good feedback? OK, so my questions Tigs bits
- 1:15:06What? What is Tigs bits?
- 1:15:08What? Where'd that name come from?
- 1:15:11What is that? It's a great question.
- 1:15:13Number one, don't inverse the letters and it is never was
- 1:15:17meant to be that. So my nickname is Tiggs.
- 1:15:20I'm Tiggs and that all stemmed back 100,000 for a 30,000 foot
- 1:15:25view Quickly. I was on a message board, an LSU
- 1:15:28message board years ago and you had to have a handle.
- 1:15:32My handle was LSU Tigs because I stole my buddy's license plate
- 1:15:36who is from Arkansas. That was his personalized
- 1:15:39license plate, so I took his name as a handle.
- 1:15:42You're the Bill Gates tigs. Yeah, he didn't care about the
- 1:15:45Internet or any chat rooms or anything.
- 1:15:47So I took that. And then we all ended up meeting
- 1:15:50up in real life and like, getting to know each other from
- 1:15:54this message board, and people just started calling me Tigs.
- 1:15:57So my nickname has been Tigs for years.
- 1:16:00OK. I've had some radio show stints
- 1:16:04in radio and stuff like that. And at one point I had a little
- 1:16:08segment that was called Tigs Bits where I just went.
- 1:16:11It was a sports talk radio show here in Baton Rouge on ESPN
- 1:16:14Radio and it was 2 hour show and in the second hour we started
- 1:16:19off the top of it with Tigs Bits.
- 1:16:21Generally I was energized at that point.
- 1:16:24In other words, I'd had a couple of libations and was loose and
- 1:16:27ready to rock'n'roll. So Tigs Bits came into Motley
- 1:16:30Crue's Wild and off I went and just went into tangents about
- 1:16:36whatever it was. So then that was the birth of
- 1:16:40Tigs Bits, re rebranded it later on as a podcast, started as
- 1:16:46myself and then these gentlemen join me and we've been doing it
- 1:16:49ever since. Then we noticed once we started
- 1:16:52making merchandise and I was on the beach walking one day and
- 1:16:55this girl, probably 15 or 16, walking with her mom saw me and
- 1:17:00was wearing this shirt. And they both just started
- 1:17:02laughing and I kept on walking. It was like, they're surely
- 1:17:05they're not, why are they laughing at me?
- 1:17:06They're not laughing at me and kept on walking.
- 1:17:09And then the moms like, we love your shirt.
- 1:17:12It was like, what are you talking about?
- 1:17:13And it was, I looked down. I was like, oh, I'm wearing
- 1:17:15Tigsbit shirt. And she's like, we didn't think
- 1:17:19it said that. And I went, Oh my God, here we
- 1:17:23are. That's where nobody really
- 1:17:25believes. It took about 9 episodes for I
- 1:17:27put two and two together. I didn't.
- 1:17:29It took me 9 episodes before I put it on the IT was that I.
- 1:17:33Wear a hat every day and everybody looks at me like I'm
- 1:17:36just like, Oh yeah, big old. I got asked about my hat
- 1:17:40recently in a restaurant and and they said just had to see what
- 1:17:43the hat said. I like it by the way, or
- 1:17:45something because I they thought it might be offense if they
- 1:17:47weren't going to let me wear my hat in this restaurant.
- 1:17:49I swear, I swear I forgot to tell you guys that I was at an
- 1:17:52airport or somewhere, I think it was at the airport in Key,
- 1:17:57almost in Key West or leaving Key West or somewhere like that,
- 1:17:59yeah, or something. And I was like.
- 1:18:01They questioned it. Yeah, and then they laughed and
- 1:18:04the manager likes it or I like it or something.
- 1:18:06They one of them said they liked it or something but they had to
- 1:18:07double get a closer look to make sure it said what they thought
- 1:18:09it said. That's so good.
- 1:18:11That's so good. We've been, we've been.
- 1:18:13That's it. We've been denied press
- 1:18:15credentials for like Senior Bowl and football games and and we
- 1:18:20have to e-mail them and follow up and go guys, this is what it
- 1:18:23is. Oh, OK, Sorry.
- 1:18:24Come on. In.
- 1:18:25Yeah. So it's it's it's.
- 1:18:26And I because I thought the whole time it was Tigs bits,
- 1:18:28tiger bites, LSU tiger because it's Tigs and it was purple.
- 1:18:31I've never put. I just always thought it was LSU
- 1:18:33stuff. Tigs tigers, tigs bites, tiger
- 1:18:36bites. Well, in a sense it kind.
- 1:18:37Of keeps going. I love it.
- 1:18:39I love the fact that it just keeps going.
- 1:18:40Yeah, there's there's a mystery. To it, and they're good.
- 1:18:43It could be this, it could be this and you know, so I was
- 1:18:45doing all. Would you change it?
- 1:18:47Should we change it, Gabby? Or you think we should stick
- 1:18:49with it now, knowing what you know?
- 1:18:51No, stick with it. Stick with it.
- 1:18:53Keep everybody warm. Everybody wants to know
- 1:18:56everybody. Wants.
- 1:18:56There's some mystery to it, yeah.
- 1:18:58Yeah, that's that's it. Any other questions like?
- 1:19:01Yeah, it was a good question. That was a great question.
- 1:19:03Yeah, we don't have. It's just kind of fun.
- 1:19:06Flip the script. Yeah.
- 1:19:08What you got for? Us.
- 1:19:09Well, OK, Blasey, is that your last name?
- 1:19:13It is, yeah. It's Italian.
- 1:19:15My grandfather's first generation.
- 1:19:19I heard it in tomorrow, so I was like, maybe that's where that
- 1:19:21came from. It's an old song though.
- 1:19:24That rap song. That rap song, yeah, yeah.
- 1:19:28I was like, maybe that's where that's from, but maybe that's
- 1:19:30just his name. I just, I like to, I like to
- 1:19:33read and start digging and seeing.
- 1:19:34Blasi. Blasi is something about
- 1:19:36Maserati. Something I don't know.
- 1:19:37I just remember. Yeah, Blasi, I don't know.
- 1:19:39That's it. So it's always good to know how
- 1:19:42a lady's going to crime dog us. So this is good.
- 1:19:45And I think we're coming out pretty clean.
- 1:19:47So that's good. We are.
- 1:19:48This is fantastic news for the show.
- 1:19:53And then is it Junior Jr. the handler?
- 1:19:58Jr. Yeah, whatever.
- 1:19:59I always tell people I've been called worse.
- 1:20:01Whatever anything's. Fine, Anything's fine.
- 1:20:03OK, OK. So he's a handler.
- 1:20:05That's his nickname in country music because he's he handles
- 1:20:08country music artist. So he's the handler OK.
- 1:20:11I had a buddy, I had a buddy, Craig Sweet Dog Pickering in
- 1:20:14Tuscaloosa, who was a road manager for like a lot of Blues
- 1:20:17artist out of Mississippi. And he was called The Fixer
- 1:20:20because you know, when you go on location, when you go somewhere
- 1:20:23to shoot a movie or music video, anything like that, you have a
- 1:20:26local liaison, they're called a fixer.
- 1:20:28They can run around and show you, get you a car, get you get
- 1:20:31you access to this property, get you a boat where you know
- 1:20:33they're a fixer. So Craig was his nickname was
- 1:20:36Sweet Dog, but then they called him the Fixer.
- 1:20:38And then he dubbed me the handler or drummer.
- 1:20:40And then one of the guys in the band, this was 20 something
- 1:20:42years ago, took that. And because I was just always
- 1:20:45pretty, pretty handy at helping out with things, whatever needed
- 1:20:48to be done. Because I don't play music, I
- 1:20:49don't ride, I don't sing, I don't do any of that.
- 1:20:51I just help out and I've that's, that's all I've ever done was
- 1:20:54help. I drive, make talk, talk if I
- 1:20:56need to talk, whatever's got to be done, make sure we get paid,
- 1:20:59get everybody home safe. There you go.
- 1:21:02So that's it, the handler thing. And then in 2020 when the
- 1:21:06shutdown went down, Justin Moore and I've been talking about
- 1:21:08doing a podcast for several years because he liked Howard
- 1:21:12Stern and I was a Big Joe Rogan guy.
- 1:21:14And when we were not on the road for a couple of months, we're
- 1:21:18like, all right, let's do a podcast.
- 1:21:19So we started a podcast. So I I made the branding and
- 1:21:22stuff like that for that show. And then it kind of stuck and
- 1:21:25was in some of the music videos and this and that.
- 1:21:27So it kind of stuck. But just good old Jr. like Jr.
- 1:21:31for wrestling. Is, is is good enough?
- 1:21:34So good. Good, good.
