  SPEAKER_00: So we got some Mississippi folks that are making our coffee for us.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: So when you go to johnnypacker.net, place your order, they are roasting that coffee in New Albany, Mississippi, and they are sending it to your house.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: And so get on there if you've never ordered from us before, check it out.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: They've got basically every variety that we had before.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: We don't have the flavored coffee up there just yet, but they do have flavored coffee.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: I've just got to work on getting it on the website.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: But right now, they got basically everything else that you need on there.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's just as fresh as it was before, and you're supporting us, and you're supporting a local Mississippi business too.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: So get on there, check it out, jonypacker.net.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's that's cool.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_02: Like you said, you're supporting a local uh Mississippi bit business because uh like I on our made in Mississippi podcast that we did, where uh it's really cool how how that all came to be.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_02: And uh and I love if when you go on the website, I looked uh I was with our buddy uh Josh Snyder uh last week and he was asking me, I was like, uh y'all still selling glasses?
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_02: I told him we kind of transitioned to coffee products now for CF.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_02: And and he was like, let me like a look at it.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_02: I showed him the website and uh Bo's Breakfast Plant.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_02: I love the titles of that.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: So I just showed him that one.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_02: That was cool.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_02: But uh but yeah, um, so yeah, definitely get on there because you know, while I was telling uh our guests today that we had on, people were asking me about this podcast.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_02: I said the reason why we started it was to promote awareness and and uh raise funds for cystic fibrosis and share my story um about it because a lot of people either hear about TF and and think hear about the miracle drug and think, oh, he's cured, and but that's not the case.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_02: It's constant every day.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_02: Uh same old stuff, uh continuing treatments and morning and night, can't skip anything.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_02: Um but uh thank God for this truck though, because like I would not be able to travel like I'm doing and everything like that.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_02: So it's uh it's definitely a miracle.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_02: But uh but anyway, uh but any every every little cent helps when you go on johnnypacker.net and get a bag of buy a bag of coffee, uh you're you're helping a good cause.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_02: And and uh I read today or last week where uh when I was born, the life expectancy for someone with CF was 15 years old.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_02: And as of today, if someone was born with CF today, the life expectancy is 61.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_02: So all because of tricast one drug uh has done that.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_02: So um it's it's come a long way, but there's still 10% people that don't have anything.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_02: So they're constantly trying their best to raise as much money and come up with new new drugs for the people that that need them.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_02: And uh you know, I can't do that without people's help.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: So uh Johnnypacker.net, you're supporting a local business, um, going towards a great cause and uh raising funds for cystic fibrosis and helping uh helping people like me uh continue on living.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 5:08

• 10:35
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_03: But uh my love for it, I guess comes from from Jimmy Buffett.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_03: You know, just uh I started following Jimmy Buffett high school in the 80s, you know.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_03: Well, of course I heard the Martin Reedaville songs growing up, thought, oh, that was a cute, funny song, cheeseburger in paradise.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but then as I get older, my high school sweetheart broke up with me, you know, and that hurt and all that.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_03: Then I discovered something I really like, alcohol, and my whole life changed.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, Jimmy Buffett made sense then, right?
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_03: He's making sense.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_03: Now I'm I'm looking for that damn lost sticker of salt.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_03: I said, I completely got everything he talked about, and uh and I just and that's it.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_03: Like uh life happened.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_03: I didn't get to do things I wanted to do.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_03: I had four kids, I love you know, I'm glad it happened.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but once I had the four kids got out of the house and I got divorced, I got remarried, and we traveled, and we went to Key West, and I loved it.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_03: And and I'm thankful, I've got a wife, but number two, my second wife, uh enjoys traveling along with Key West as much as I do.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_02: Well, uh, I've always uh wanted to go to Key West, I've always loved it, hearing stories, seeing pictures about you posting it and stuff, and and then uh, but what really set it off with Cooks Lee's got the job here in Hissippi State, and hearing about him being down there and and all that sort of stuff made me want to go into even more.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_02: And then uh I had my uh those who probably know, I've had a 13-year-old Golden Retriever that passed away this year.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_02: There's my heart, and uh I got to the point where he couldn't be bored and he was really old, and I didn't want to leave.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_02: So I said, you know, once once something once both passed on, we're gonna go take a trip and it's gonna be the P West.
• 12:01

• 30:46
  SPEAKER_03: But um Sunset Pier at the Galley and Resort.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_03: I don't care much for the Mallory Square.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_03: They talk about going to Mallory Square, and yeah, but Sunset Island is an island which has latitude, it's a nice little restaurant, but you can go take a boat across it.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_03: But you don't get to see the sun go into the water, but we're we were down at the uh sunset pier, you got to see that.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_02: So uh, but yeah, it's it's really cool.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I do next time I go back, I want to do I looked into it this time, but they were booked up uh on a day excursion on the water.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_02: Uh a buddy of our Robert Camp, you know him.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_02: He he had been uh and they had done uh you somebody named Captain Allison was the name of them.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_02: And so I called her, but she was booked up.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_02: But they take you out there private tour, they take you to Snorkland, look at all the wildlife that I'm the animals, and uh you get in the water, all that sort of stuff.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_02: And it's all days worse.
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_02: Uh looking to doing that next time.
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I didn't do, I know the the uh in Boston, this is something I really like.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_02: A lot of probably people think it's cheese and stuff, but when I went to Boston 20 years ago, I did uh I did something called a ghost tour.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_02: And they and they take you around where you see Boston strangler victims and all this stuff.
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_02: I'm big into crime stuff like that.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_02: And I liked it.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_02: So I did see they had one at uh Key West at Mallory Square.
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_02: You probably saw a trolley ghost tour thing, and I wanted to do it, but then the the concierge person at the hotel is like, it's really cheesy.
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_02: You don't want to just waste money on this.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_02: So afterwards, I read up on it, and actually, the people that she's talking about the cheesy part of it is the people dress up on the trolley, as you know, all that stuff.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_02: But the history behind it, which I know Mike Leach would love this, so I do want to do that next time because it takes you behind the darker side of Key West where murders and stuff happened years ago, pirates and all that sort of stuff.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_02: So uh you were talking about cemetery earlier that Mike Leach took you to.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm sure that's probably something that they do.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_03: That that's that's what I was looking at.
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_03: It was it was I didn't get to go.
• 32:32

• 32:41
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, if if you're a foodie and you like to drink, it's Key Westley, right?
• 32:45
  SPEAKER_03: If you're if you're if you're with couples, and I tell people this all the time you're going with a group and you got a toxic couple and you don't go with them, don't go pick who you go because it's not very serious.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_03: And I say that.
• 32:55
  SPEAKER_03: I mean people this lot of people have a good time that don't drink.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_03: I don't mean to take this out, but right we had uh we eat, we drink, we go, and we have a good time, and then um, and we I was there when I made a little video.

  SPEAKER_03: I got to see Jimmy Buffett play in February, last two February's ago.
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_03: This just that's cool.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_03: The year before he died.

  SPEAKER_03: It was a stirred, it was his uh he just started, it was his third concert.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_03: It was it's next to the last concert.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_03: He played the next night, then he played in uh Hollywood, and then he then he played uh a little he popped in with Mac, but it was his it was the next last concert basically.
• 34:41
  SPEAKER_03: And um, and I got to see him playing there, and then that was that was fun.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_03: That's really cool.
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_02: And did you go to did you go to the margaritaville there?
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_02: I do, yeah.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_02: We ate there, I had to get a cheeseburger in paradise, a little margarita, and a draft beer.
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_02: I took a picture of it.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_02: I had the salt shaker, I spent seven fresh fried potatoes and cheeseburger and cheeseburger paradise and out.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_02: Really cool knowing you're at the original margaritaville.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_03: One of my one of my favorite places, I wish I'd brought up earlier, it's called the Chart Room.
• 35:08
  SPEAKER_03: And it's in the uh Pier House Hotel Resort now.
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_03: But it's almost like they didn't want to get rid of this bar, so they kind of built the place around.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_03: It's a really cool, it's the first bar that Jimmy Buffett went to when Jerry Jeff Walker, you know, the story is in 1972, whatever.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_03: Jerry Jeff uh Jimmy Buffett had a concert in Miami and he got the dates fixed up.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_03: He went a week early and he had nothing to do for a week.
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_03: And Jerry Jill said, Well, I put ahead to Key West.
• 35:32
  SPEAKER_03: Come on to Key West, and he loaded up with Key West, and they went to Chart Room.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_03: Bartender there named Bill Clark.
• 35:38
  SPEAKER_03: Philip Clark bought Jimmy his first beer.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_03: He gave him his first beer in Chartroom.
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_03: How about that?
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_03: And uh and they sit there and became friends, they started going in.
• 35:45
  SPEAKER_03: And this this Bill Clark looking about reading about hey he's a character, he eats something.
• 35:51
  SPEAKER_03: He's the one that the song The Pirate Looks at 40, which he barely fans know it as Mother Mother Ocean, right?
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_03: That song, you know, and that that's the song based on uh on his life.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_03: That's cool.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_03: The song uh nautical wheelers is about a tequila uh regatta they they did.
• 36:07
  SPEAKER_03: They shoot tequila, you drink tequila, and then you get in a boat and they go out to Christmas Tree Island, uh, which is a little island out there, uh, and then you come back, and uh that song's based on that.
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_03: But the chart room, just a cool, it's just history.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_03: It's just it's like like you said earlier, the treatment and all that.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_03: It's just yeah, it's just history.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_03: So much politics, backdoor politics, everything.
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_03: It's just a cool bargain.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, um, you know, uh my buddy John Schneider, Bodie from Beach Hazard, he told me check out Bagatels.
• 36:36
  SPEAKER_02: I went to Bagatels and that's a cool place to eat right there one night.
• 36:41
  SPEAKER_02: And uh, but like you said, if you're if you're you can spend a whole trip eating, drinking at your way all the way uh around Key Web.
• 36:48
  SPEAKER_02: That's what another cool thing is we did the uh the trolley tour.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_02: Did you do that?
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_03: That no, but but but everything I wish I would and even now next time I go be like eight times to go.
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_03: But I won't every time I go, I want to go.
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_03: I want to go.
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_02: Need to do that because now there's a little train tour takes you around everywhere.
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_02: But the trolley tour we were told is to get on that one because it literally takes you around the whole aisle, it goes all the way around there.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_02: By the time we were there three days, and by the second day, I knew everywhere, I knew where everything is.
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I mean, it's you know it that fast because I was relatively small, two miles, two miles long, and uh so the the trolley tour is cool because it takes you around, but uh and you can walk everywhere when we went June right now is extremely hot.
• 37:29
  SPEAKER_02: So after a couple days, you had to take Ubers, but the Ubers were just like right down the street.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_02: But we're looking at when we go back, possibly going in the spring or something.
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_02: Now you you gone earlier, is that right?
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_03: Besides the summer, I have been all four seasons, yeah.
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, can you tell talk about the weather there?
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah, it's hot right now.
• 37:48
  SPEAKER_03: There is 41.
• 37:49
  SPEAKER_03: So it's never that's what I heard.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_03: Besides, I mean, like you just you're you're at the off season because it's freaking hot.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_03: It's so you know, it's so damn hot.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_03: But um, I've been in September, it's still hot in October.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_03: October was perfect.
• 38:02
  SPEAKER_03: I've been in February, and I still got the pool down there in February.
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_03: So it's just I didn't get in Dante's pool.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_03: That's a great little place to hang out.
• 38:09
  SPEAKER_03: But uh, yeah, it's uh I've been all for again.
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_03: It's just it, you know, it's expensive to get there, it's expensive to to find a place to stay there.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_03: But other than that, it's not that bad of a place to go to spend the money, you know.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_03: Wise your food's not overly this place called Lola's that you can round bag your wine.
• 38:27
  SPEAKER_03: You go down and buy some wine at the CBS, yeah.
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_02: Somebody see that there's a Walgreens on Duvall.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_02: Did you see that?
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_02: It's an old movie theater.
• 38:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they told us on the tour that it was an old movie theater.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_02: The Walgreens had bought it, and that the the people that had the movie theater were like, You can we'll sell this to you as long as you don't change anything.
• 38:45
  SPEAKER_02: So you look at it, you're like, That's a Walgreens in the movie theater, right?
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_02: You're on DeVault.
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_02: But uh man, like you're talking about everywhere.
• 38:51
  SPEAKER_02: You never know thing with key wishes you never know you're gonna see.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_02: We're as we're leaving, I was like, I gotta take one more stop in Capitonius, just seeing it, and just hoping maybe someone was in there.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_02: So I ended up talking to a guy there that day who knew Mike Leach and they had talked a few times.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_02: He told me what he lived down the road a little bit, and and then he would come in here and talked about the on the bowl game when we played in Tampa that they had a little watch party.
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_02: Uh after Coach Leach had passed, had a little watch party there and on the big screen, and all his buddies from E West came over and watched it and all that sort of stuff.
• 39:18
  SPEAKER_02: And and anyway, the guy we start talking to the guy, I was like, you know, Kitty Chesney had a place down here, right down the road from where Mike Leach wasn't.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_02: And uh they're like, Yeah, he's playing a show in Cincinnati.
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_02: He's getting on a plane after that coming down here.
• 39:30
  SPEAKER_02: And the cool thing about him coming down here, they're like, he'll probably come into Captain Toad's for a little while, but this is where he hangs out.
• 39:35
  SPEAKER_02: Like it's he didn't come out either way or anything like that.
• 39:37
  SPEAKER_02: He just comes in the hangs with local, you know.
• 39:39
  SPEAKER_02: And uh that I thought that was really cool.
