• 1:29
  SPEAKER_01: But he was he was from the US, so we got him.

• 1:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that guy was awesome.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: He was the best.

  SPEAKER_01: And then they would growl like in between stuff.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_02: Is he I wonder if he's still there?
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_02: Same guy.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_01: I think they changed him up a couple times.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but the the guy that's the guy's been there that's there now for a while, but the original guy has been gone for a little while.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_02: Cool, yeah, he was good.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_02: Well, well, it's been a while, man.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_02: Uh catch us up on what you've been up to, and then I'll talk about what I've been up to and and what we'll expect for season two for our listeners out there.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, it's it has, it's been kind of crazy.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_01: We um we went down to Orlando to Disney World for a family vacation and just you know, missing a week of work and then getting back and trying to catch up on everything, it's been kind of crazy, but we had a good time down there in Orlando.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: We uh went to Disney and uh hit all the parks, got to ride the new Star Wars ride, Rise of the Resistance.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: You've got to get on there like first thing in the morning at like 7 a.m.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_01: And as soon as your your phone hits 7 a.m., like as soon as you see it, you refresh it, and then you just click like that you want to get on.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: And apparently they say you have like five seconds to actually get on there because they only let a certain number of people on there.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: So we got on that, got the whole family got to go on that.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_01: And um it's funny because uh friend of the pod, Kevin Bailey, Valerie Bailey, they were they were down there at the same time as us, and I think they they got to ride it maybe the next day or something like that.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_01: But it's really cool because you go like you're you they pretend like you're like a rebel, a rebel um soldier, and you go into this the ship, and um Kyler Wren comes in and like interrogates you, and then they sweep you off, and like the whole thing's like 15 minutes, and you you're actually like inside like a a Star Wars ship, and there's these stormtroopers everywhere, and it's really cool.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_02: What uh what park is that?
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_01: That's at Hollywood Studios, the one you used to work at.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_02: Awesome, yeah, yeah.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_02: Mall stopping grounds, Hollywood Studios.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, what I was changed a lot since the last time I was there.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I'm sure it has since you too, because yeah, Star Wars wasn't there, and then they got the Toy Storyland and just a lot more.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_01: Used to just kind of be like the Tower of Terror and a couple of the rock and roller coaster, and that was it.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, when uh I worked out five, and then I went back in uh 15.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_02: So it was like 10 years since uh been there, and they had told me that they were gonna close the one man's dream and open up some big thing there.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_02: But um, I talked to someone not too long ago, um, actually a friend of the program, Matt Wiley.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: When he went down there, he took a photo selfie of uh in front of One Man's Dream.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_02: So it's still there.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_02: Uh these years later, I guess they decided to keep it.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_02: But uh yeah, I mean they've changed the name of the park now Hollywood Studios, and um sounds like a lot more rides.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm planning on going uh in October.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so I'm really looking forward to it.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_02: So we might have to fill me in on some some uh some new stuff to check out.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that ought to be a good one to do.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: And I can confirm we did we did walk by that ride.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: Of course, the the kids weren't interested in going in there, but we saw it.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: So um it's kind of boring.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_01: Um we've been working on some of the Johnny Packer Hour stuff.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: We've got man, the demand is real high for a handful of the frames, the sunglasses, and I and I have a hard time keeping those in stock.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_01: And so ordered more of those and then uh rolled out some blue light glasses.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_01: So if anybody you know is on T you know screens at night, got eye strain, uh, got some prescription ones where if you're in your 40s or 50s, it's got a little reading prescription bumped in there.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: So I think those will do pretty well.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_01: And and those are um some of the frames that aren't in the sunglasses store.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: So um so hop on jonypacker.com and check those out.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_01: And then, like I said, in the next month or so, we'll have some more sunglasses back in there, get those refreshed.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: So um, it's been a pretty fun journey.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm excited.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_01: We're we're starting season two here.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that is exciting.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_02: It's really cool.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_02: Uh hopefully these blue lights, blue light glasses, people will uh check them out because you know, I mean, people who stare at computers all day long or TV or something like that, you know, that's probably well, you'd be able to want to talk about that, not being good on your eyes, trick with strain.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_02: So, how does that actually work?
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_02: The blue light glasses, what does it do to your eyes?
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so it basically like filters out the wavelength of light that is produced from laptops and iPads and uh overhead lights, TV.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_01: And so they they think that that blue light, they've done a lot of studies, they know that it suppresses your melatonin at night, so you don't sleep as well if you're in front of screens and things like that, because your brain thinks you're still awake in the middle of the day, so it blocks that out, and then also it just causes a lot of glare and strain, so it blocks out that glare and the strain in there.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_01: So it works really well.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_01: I have it in all my glasses already, in my prescription glasses, and so if you need something like that too, we can definitely do that.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: I've got a handful of people reach out to me on email wanting that.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: So we've got some some going for them too with prescription glasses and Johnny Packers.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_01: So we can pretty much do anything, um whatever you're looking for.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_02: Awesome.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's real exciting.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_02: Of course, the sunglasses are big seller, uh, especially summer outside, warm weather, and you're outside, and now we can people can actually get out and go to games and go to concerts and stuff like that.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_02: So it's a perfect time to jump on board and and uh and get some of those.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_02: Uh a lot of cool styles.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I see I see on the website, um, you know, even though it says sold out, I mean you can you can get get what people need.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_02: Uh you got I think you told me you got some new shipments coming in soon.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so that'd be cool.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_01: Well, the only other thing I've got is you know, we finished up the season last season with that last episode, and we we shouted out some people uh in Ohio and Atlanta.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: I still hadn't heard from any of these folks.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_01: So we know you're listening because we're seeing that you're downloading the show.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_01: So let us know who you are.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_01: Shoot us an email.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_01: And um, we've got three or four pretty exciting guests lined up coming up here, but we're still looking for some guests for the back half of the season.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: So if y'all have suggestions about people you want to come on, or if you want to come on and talk to us about something, let us know.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_01: We'll be glad to talk to you.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_01: So why don't you tell us a little bit more about uh our guests coming up and everything?
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, uh, you know, we had a bunch of really awesome guests on uh season one that really a lot of people that were are special to me and and I've known personally through the years and and have and they're well well known throughout the country, and uh and it seems like the people who are the sports guys get the most listened.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_02: So it seems like we've, I mean, we've had great stories from all around the country, all different occupations and stuff.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: But uh I I feel like I guess as we kind of started this talking about Mississippi State sports, it's kind of even though this in the Mississippi State's podcast, we do talk about Starville and things and there, so it kind of has the Mississippi State connection.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_02: So a lot of the state people on the podcast that we've had uh that's involved with Mississippi State have gotten uh big followings or big lot of downloads.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: So we've got some more um more of that coming up.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_02: We've got a great player to lead off season two um our podcast to talk about.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_02: And then we're gonna interview a national uh sports caster uh who's been around for for a while in ESPN, a big time.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_02: So that'll be really cool.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_02: And then uh we're gonna interview a friend of mine who kind of got me into working out, and he uh played football at Mississippi State, so there's a state connection again.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_02: But I met him through the uh Cypress Lake Courthouse back in Madison when we were kids uh around that time.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_02: Everybody was growing, getting ready, they're starting to play football, getting bigger and bigger.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_02: And then here I was with CF, really skinny and stuff.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_02: And my doctor said, You you should try to get to working out.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_02: And I'd never look at weights before.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_02: And and uh so I met this guy at the Cypress Lake Courthouse.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_02: We bonded immediately with our Mississippi State connection, and he he got me uh started training with weights and haven't stopped yet.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_02: You know, uh I actually have stopped because of the pandemic, so I go back to my doctor in the next couple of weeks.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_02: I'm hoping I get the green light to get back in the gym because that really has changed my life, and I'll talk about that on the podcast when we have him on of how exercise and citric fibrosis go hand in hand because um I don't think looking back on all those years ago when I started working out, uh, that I would not have been able to make it to C40, you know, uh as healthy as I was until I I got the drug, you know, that saved my life.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_02: But working out is such a big part.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_02: So I'll talk about a little bit about how how weightlifting and all that sort of stuff helps for people with CF.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_02: So those are kind of be our first three episodes coming back.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_02: But like you said, I really like it if we could get people, I know we talked about this in the first part of season one, is since we have all these glasses named after Mississippi towns, I really would like people from these towns in Mississippi to to get on and share about their towns that we you know we have the the names of the glasses after some of them, but we personally we just know the towns, we might know a little few things about it, but we don't know the ins and outs, like what if for instance, if you went to Natchez, what where would you go eat in Natchez?
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_02: What would you do there?
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_02: So I really would like it if if folks out there you're listening, you're from Natchez or any Vicksburg, any place in in Mississippi, and you see these glasses are named after that town, come on and and um we'd love to have you and share your story about your city, and and uh I think that would really really be cool because uh it kind of makes it hit home kind of towards what we're doing.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that that reminds me, we've been getting all kinds of emails.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_01: Um, we've been advertising on the the bone yard with Steve Robertson, and a lot of people are finding out about us through that.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: And somebody from New Albany reached out to me last week and uh they said, Well, we need a we want a pair named after New Albany.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_01: And I said, Well, just we'll be glad to do that.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_01: You know, is there one you have in mind?
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_01: And they said, No, you know, just uh pick one and and we'll go with it.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_01: But um we had some people from the New Albany Chamber of Commerce reaching out saying they were interested in promoting them and um they really liked our mission, what we're doing for CF, and so uh this is really what I was hoping when we started this thing was to find these pockets of people in these small towns, you know, and introduce them to your story and then you know, make make some money for CF at the same time.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_01: And I think it's finally starting to come to fruition.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: So if you're out there in another small town and you don't see them represented in our sunglasses, just send me an email, Johnny Packer Iwork Gmail, and we'll be glad to find one after your town.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_01: And but maybe a caveat if we name it after your town, you got to come on the podcast, talk to us about it.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, maybe we can get the guy from New Albany to call and maybe we can get him on board.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_02: And yeah, because I'm like to hear, I like I don't think I mean I've ridden by New Albany, I've never stopped in New Albany, so I don't know if you have or not, but I don't know anything about New Albany, what where to eat or anything, so that would be cool.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: Only thing I know about New Albany is uh I don't know if he listens or not, but uh friend friend of mine, Heavy J, he's from New Albany.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_02: Nice, nice.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, so yeah, if you're listening out there, you live in New Albany, we'll get you'll see these glasses come out with New Albany uh on there.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_02: Come on and contact us and we'd love to have you on.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_02: Let's know where uh what will you do if you go to New Albany?
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_02: Where to eat.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_02: But uh the only thing I got coming up is uh if you're listening to this outside and and uh we've got the uh baseball regionals, super regionals here in Starbucks.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_02: Super regionals.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_02: Super regionals, yes, yes.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_02: First, uh we're the only school in the country to make it to uh five straight super regionals.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_02: We went in 16, 17, 18, 19, and last year we didn't have a season because of COVID, and here we are in 21.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_02: And so that's five straight years, and that's never been done.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: And uh really, really cool.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_02: So hoping we can we can punch the tickets Omaha again and make it three straight years to Omaha.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_02: It's gonna be tough.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_02: Got Notre Dame coming in, but we've got revenge factor.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_02: I know a lot of Bulldog fans in town have not forgotten about Arique and Goomba Wale hitting that three-point shot at the buzzer at the Cal Stason National Championship in women's hoops with Nick Schaefer.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_02: So uh there's some revenge on our side right now.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_02: We we got to get to Notre Dame.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_02: So um, it should be a great weekend.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_02: A lot of crowd, a lot of people at the dude.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_02: Last weekend was awesome.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_02: We had a little weather delay, um, but it uh turned out great.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't know if you did you see the articles, uh, the people from Campbell's uh the team up there.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_02: They loved it.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_02: They loved it, they got to experience the dude.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_02: Matter of fact, one guy I'm friends with, he told me that one uh one of the guy, one of the pitchers for Campbell took an Uber after their game, um, just to come back to duty noble when they weren't playing to experience that left field lounge and and they got treated uh food, plates of food, just uh great hospital hospitality.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_02: And and uh, I think that's what makes Duty Noble so special, being the best ballpark in the country, hands down, because of the the fans out there, they'll take you in, and they'll never forget that they'll always be Bulldog fans, even though they're they're camels, which is funny.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_02: That's a camel is a mascot.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_02: Um yeah, and so they're always welcome back.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_02: It's really cool.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_01: Beautiful Steve was saying on his podcast that um they had had some some Campbell folks, or I guess some Mississippi State folks were buying some Campbell um jerseys and hats and stuff like that to support them.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: And then um, you sent me the picture of the mascot, the the the camel.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_01: I was kind of hoping they would maybe get the camel out there in Leftfield Lounge, get him some barbecue, and you know he might spit on some folks, but it'd be an entertaining thing to see out there.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_02: It was really cool, and one of the uh restaurants in town, the Breakfast Club, I noticed they treated the whole team on uh I guess that was Monday night before they had to go back home.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, so they kind of had the whole restaurant there for all their team and everyone.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_02: So they had a great weekend, and uh it's really cool to see that.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, that's what sports are about, you know.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_02: Of course, we have the heated rivalries, but we're everybody's in there in in this thing together, and and uh when you treat people nice, they'll reciprocate, and uh that goes along with life.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_02: So it's really cool.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_02: So uh without a good friend of mine is coming up, he used to be my doctor or uh uh at UMC before I moved to over to UAB, and and uh he is a graduate of Notre Dame, and he took me to uh Notre Dame football game.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna mark that off my bucket list in 2017, watching play uh USC.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_02: And I got the whole experience on Notre Dame, got to see the campus, go to go to the uh football stadium, just uh great weekend, hours won that weekend.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_02: It was really, really cool.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_02: So he is uh he and his wife are coming uh coming up for the game uh tomorrow, and uh he got us tickets, and uh so I guess I'll be sitting in the Notre Dame section, uh in the visitors section.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_02: But he was like, Don't worry, there's only probably gonna be about 10 Notre Dame fans there.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_02: I think I read an article today where they play their games, and I think the biggest crowd is around 1,200 people.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_02: We're gonna have probably 10,000 people there, so it's gonna be eye-opening for for Notre Dame.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_02: But I'm really cool, I'm really excited.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_02: So, it'll be really cool to see uh for them to experience kind of what Campbell experienced last weekend, and and I can't wait to show my doctor around and the lounge and the lofts, and just uh it's gonna be a great, great weekend.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_02: Hopefully, we'll we'll get the rain holder off, and it'll be good weather, and maybe we can punch our ticket to Omaha again.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I know you're no stranger to sitting in like visitor sections.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_01: That seems to be something you kind of thrive on.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_01: It seems like I remember uh going to Oxford with you one time.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_01: We you were riding the Jeep, and like we we just rolling through campus, like had the windows rolled down, playing like the Mississippi State fight song, and you know, I think what'd you see in the in the Florida Gators um section one time down there at the swamp?
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was a cool experience.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_02: The Florida Gators.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_02: I that was when I moved to Orlando first week down there.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_02: They were playing Tennessee when that rivalry was rolling, and I just drove up to Orlando myself, asked for tickets, and some guys said, Who are you here with?

  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, maybe, maybe if we go to uh Omaha, where I see where we're matched up on the opposite side of the bracket from the Arkansas Razorbacks, and Arkansas has been the number one team from the start to right now, all year long.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_02: Just really, really good.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_02: They swept us here at Duty Noble early in the season, so maybe we can get revenge on them and knock him out in the national championship game, and we can crank up the duke box on Sam Pittman for a change.
