- 1:02Gray T-shirt I I had a busy day today man I had to go God y'all
- 1:06ready for 30 more minutes? No, I'm kidding.
- 1:07I had to go to, I had to go up the I'd do some basically like
- 1:12this giant lawn mower. My mom's got some.
- 1:13This thing is a hog and gold Craftsman.
- 1:16This thing just will go through. It's like a Bush hog.
- 1:18You got a big lot next to a house that just wouldn't clear
- 1:20that big old one acre lot with that thing and nice.
- 1:22So I had to do all that and get back here, get kids and all
- 1:25that, get settled in and just kind of just went straight from
- 1:28in the house to right out here. So.
- 1:30Love it. I mean, that brings up a good
- 1:32thing, a good point here. Whenever you Bush hog, I use.
- 1:35I mean, I've cut enough grass to, good Lord, I did it from the
- 1:39time I was old enough to start to mow till currently.
- 1:44And now I'm passing that on to my son.
- 1:46I'm teaching him by the way yet. And he's not cutting the grass
- 1:49right now. He's supposed to be cutting the
- 1:51grass anyhow. It isn't too high.
- 1:55We're going to have that conversation in the morning.
- 1:56But did you something that when you were a kid, what'd you jam
- 2:01out to? Like I always had my goat, my
- 2:03old yellow Walkman with some tape, you know, listen to a
- 2:08tape, those old headphones that would come in, you know, they
- 2:11sounded really good, especially for a tape, you know.
- 2:15Did you have any particular jams or any tapes that y'all wore out
- 2:18when you were cutting grass as a kid?
- 2:22I did two of them, Hank Williams, Born to Boogie and
- 2:26Alabama Tate. Those were two tapes right
- 2:28there. Just absolutely beat those two
- 2:30to death. A.
- 2:31Bike drop right there. I mean that don't get no better
- 2:33though soon. Yeah, I'm not even going to say
- 2:36mine. They're terrible.
- 2:38They're terrible. Absolutely terrible.
- 2:39Look, we got folks in the in the house tonight.
- 2:41Stacy G is whether she's been so excited for the show.
- 2:45She was in here about 10 minutes, I think, before the
- 2:47show started. Hell, yeah.
- 2:49Thank you so much, Stacy. We got Mortar in the house
- 2:53saying hello to Stacy, but I know he's saying hello to us,
- 2:56too. What's up, Mortar?
- 2:57Good to have you. My my man.
- 2:59Dude, what a hell of a show we had last night.
- 3:03Yeah, that was fun. That was fun.
- 3:05And it came out today. Look, this worked out.
- 3:08And then it dropped out ahead. Look, this worked out good for
- 3:11everybody because now we get to talk about the show after the
- 3:14shows come out, so we don't have to not say something or not for,
- 3:18you know what I'm saying this. Exactly, yes, exactly.
- 3:21Because we we were going to be like, you know, the NBA
- 3:24playoffs. We won't know who won game one.
- 3:26Well, that's going to be happening while we're doing this
- 3:28show tonight and. This worked out perfect.
- 3:31We need to make sure to stress to the to Seth and Bubba that
- 3:34this this worked out. I don't know why they did that.
- 3:36Y'all may know y'all know I don't care why, but it worked
- 3:39out perfect. And I thought when I, I, when I
- 3:41thought when I saw that because I didn't know it was going to
- 3:43drop when I saw Bubba retweeted that it was dropping today come
- 3:46out a day earlier. I was like, oh, and then I
- 3:49thought, well we're going to talk about that.
- 3:50We can talk about the show tonight on the live show.
- 3:53So this makes perfect sense. We need to try to do this every
- 3:56week if that's an option. Oh yeah, I know.
- 3:59Here's the thing. We.
- 4:00Just be person if everybody out there watching the list and says
- 4:02no screw that Jr. that's fine too.
- 4:04But at my opinion, I think that's.
- 4:05The way total agreeance, I like it being on Thursday.
- 4:07That's kind of whenever our our podcast as we've done it over
- 4:11the years, it would drop on Thursday morning.
- 4:13So it this kind of goes in kind of goes into the flow of things,
- 4:18you know, but hey, whatever in the afternoon, I don't know,
- 4:21they may try to mix things up. Who knows what what they're,
- 4:24what they're trying to do, I don't know.
- 4:26But this week it worked out great for.
- 4:28All this week, it's perfect. Because like, does anybody
- 4:32listen? Yeah, because like anybody
- 4:34listening, you know, we, we can go through the list that you
- 4:37sent us that AI generated of our topics was hilarious.
- 4:40This was unbelievable, wasn't it?
- 4:41But but Blasey started off. He he he could go ahead, give
- 4:45himself a, a gut shot and even started, hey, you only hear
- 4:47about 30 minutes. He wish they'd got that on out
- 4:50there today because because that's going to be that we're
- 4:52going to kick it off with a fireball.
- 4:54Blasey's going to give you a 30 minute story, which is great,
- 4:56which is great. It's great.
- 4:58It's tremendous. Tremendous.
- 4:59I mean, I love, I love all the stories that we tell,
- 5:02especially, Yeah, both of you guys.
- 5:04Yeah. And then?
- 5:05Blasey's day and then like you had, that's what you said
- 5:09earlier on today, today I think, I think I have long worn out
- 5:13dramatic days. Blasey has some damn days that
- 5:15seem like movie sagas that last for like 5 years.
- 5:18He did all that one day. That stuff he explained
- 5:20yesterday. Yeah.
- 5:22And, and I even left out what I did before all that started.
- 5:26My son hit some sign situation that fell off.
- 5:30It's like they had it wrapped in plastic.
- 5:31It's like a crosswalk thing. Somehow now it fell off in the
- 5:33middle of the road. He hits that dude.
- 5:35I'm down there at 7:00 at the hospital, examined his car.
- 5:37He's been busted his radiator that morning.
- 5:39So we're dealing with that, trying to get that towed.
- 5:41That's before I did all that. Yeah.
- 5:43That was, good Lord, interesting.
- 5:45I mean, say lesson here, boys and girls, you got to get up
- 5:48early if you want to put a full day in like Blasi, the one man
- 5:50posse. It ain't easy, It ain't.
- 5:52Easy. It's easy.
- 5:53Everybody do it. You got Yeah, the early bird
- 5:55gets the worm and the second mouse gets the cheese.
- 5:58If you're blossy the one man posse, he don't miss.
- 6:01The second mouse gets the cheese.
- 6:02That's fantastic. That's fantastic.
- 6:06Bubba Fan, 69, says Blossy not not being at the brewery throws
- 6:10him off it. No, I know means.
- 6:12He doesn't care about y'all means he doesn't care about this
- 6:14show. He's.
- 6:15Just going to do so He does the he does the brewery show on the
- 6:19show that is only only on audio at the moment.
- 6:23He does this show live from the studio makes it should be
- 6:27reversed. I think we, oh, I did.
- 6:28Flip it. I flipped it purposely because I
- 6:30knew today was going to be a loaded day and I just knew I was
- 6:33going to be getting back and doing all this hustle.
- 6:35I can go there. You know, and try to get
- 6:38position and try to set up and I'd been it had been worse than
- 6:40even today because I literally set up got everything going when
- 6:43it's I got some dinner stuff ready, got this and just I mean
- 6:47enough to take a shower before all that I.
- 6:49Mean you're doing great Blasey, you're you're doing great yeah I
- 6:52mean but that but this bears a question and and chat you guys
- 6:56feel feel free to chime in. I've been wanting to ask you
- 6:59this, Blasey, you know, you know Bubba better than anybody.
- 7:02And and then I'm just kind of in, in this forum for sure.
- 7:07And with the amongst us three man, I've just kind of been
- 7:11thinking, would y'all like to see these shows?
- 7:14Cuz every show that we do with these Bubba, these Bubba
- 7:17exclusive shows, we've got them recorded.
- 7:19They're all, I mean, they're ready to go.
- 7:21I know we don't want to interfere with it dropping on
- 7:24the Bubba podcast network and all of that stuff, but I'm
- 7:27talking like a week or two later, drop these shows on our
- 7:32YouTube. Do you think that would be a
- 7:34problem? I mean, I don't know.
- 7:35And if and if not, I'm surely they wouldn't mind us putting on
- 7:38Patreon for time until we can put it on YouTube.
- 7:42Say we want to wait three months for each episode goes on
- 7:45YouTube. We could.
- 7:45That's surely still less. Throw it on Patreon or
- 7:47something, yeah? Just a few days later, something
- 7:49the. Problem with Patreon is it's so
- 7:53you can't. Our shows are long.
- 7:56We don't make short shows. Let's just be honest about it.
- 7:59And they're all an hour long. I think I'm, I'm not sure how
- 8:01long you can. I think it's 10 minutes is the
- 8:04longest clip you can put on Patreon.
- 8:06So yeah, I mean, we could always put them on our on our website
- 8:09or something like that. But I think we should ask we're
- 8:11just spit balling out here live with with everybody.
- 8:14But I think we should ask Seth and then.
- 8:16Seth can run run it back to Bubba.
- 8:18And main thing is I don't want to, I would never want to try to
- 8:22piss Bubba off or any of them because we are beyond grateful
- 8:25for all of the help that they've been giving us to our show.
- 8:28And you know, all of the folks like that that are in the chat
- 8:31right now, we're, we're beyond grateful for all that.
- 8:34So I don't want to burn any bridges or piss anybody off.
- 8:37People will love it. They love it because Blasey puts
- 8:41Bubba over and I'm telling you they would.
- 8:43Everybody else would love it if we buried Bubba.
- 8:45Nobody cares. I just want something.
- 8:47Just just throw it. Either way, they don't care.
- 8:48I see his. I would.
- 8:50I look at some of his Twitter stuff.
- 8:51His biggest fans bury him every time they get a chance.
- 8:54They they will call him the worst shit ever.
- 8:56And then they're talking about all right, buddy, love you, see
- 8:57you next time. Can't wait.
- 8:58And listen tomorrow. I'm like, I love it.
- 9:00That's hilarious. And then there's other people
- 9:03that you know, it just anything. I love it.
- 9:05I love it. It's it's.
- 9:06I get it. Yeah, I know my buddy.
- 9:08It's so entertaining. He may be listening or may not
- 9:10be listening. WSMFP when he gets on there.
- 9:17Anytime Bubba gets to start talking about the Hogan stuff,
- 9:19and if he's in chat, he'll just start with going like, Oh my
- 9:21God, not again. Stop it, stop it.
- 9:24He'll wear him out on it. Like, yeah.
- 9:25He's always. Oh yeah, that's the cool thing.
- 9:27There's so many fans that'll yeah, they'll, they'll meltdown
- 9:30on you sometime. At the end of the day, it's just
- 9:32all, it's all, it's all in good fun, you know what I mean?
- 9:34It's. Just yeah, hey, and I saw that.
- 9:36I saw some of that interview scrolling today because I had a
- 9:41little relaxed day today or laxer today for myself.
- 9:45But I saw that video of Eric Andre Bubba interviews.
- 9:48And I know you're talking about exactly, yes, that dude's
- 9:49hilarious, man. He's doing the funny stuff.
- 9:51Yeah, so that makes sense. But I didn't see the part about.
- 9:55I didn't I didn't see any of this stuff about him not putting
- 9:59Alex Stein. Yeah, we we talked about that on
- 10:02the show today, which was great is exactly what I asked.
- 10:04I was like, it was a point in the show.
- 10:06It was like, hey, I need to figure out what happened in
- 10:08bubbles world because this time some some weeks I do get to
- 10:11catch a few things now that we're in his universe, you know,
- 10:14So I keep up, appreciate I like a lot of the content they put
- 10:17out. But this past week I had no I
- 10:21had no idea what happened because of my travel troubles
- 10:24and just been busy. So blasey giving me that
- 10:26breakdown yesterday was gold because he youth we started off.
- 10:30That's not one reason we should put this show where you could
- 10:32see it because we started off the show.
- 10:34Tiggs was ready to like punch through his screen.
- 10:36He was going nuts. He was losing his mind over
- 10:38there. I don't know what was going on.
- 10:40He got so fired up right before we started fired up Patreon,
- 10:44brother, He was fired up at Patreon.
- 10:46I'm telling y'all reading the script it.
- 10:51Was season. Y'all see it, everybody will see
- 10:53it. I'm cutting.
- 10:54This is a promo. That's a damn promo.
- 10:56What I did is I covered. I've watched it since and I saw
- 11:01Blasey doing this. I saw you were just like sitting
- 11:04like this the whole time. I covered y'all up.
- 11:07I read a script. Damn it.
- 11:08It's good. Y'all will be.
- 11:10Seeing it, it's coming. Oh, I was popping.
- 11:11It was a pro W it was a, it was a, it was a WCW early 90s, late
- 11:1880s. Just flare in the in the
- 11:20Carolinas promo. It was so good.
- 11:22And it goes back to Time Management Jr., right?
- 11:25Yeah. You got peaked at the rolling.
- 11:29I'm feeling it. I'm gonna just roll it Mixture,
- 11:31right? I love it it.
- 11:32Was perfect. So that rolled in.
- 11:34So Blasey took some of that energy because he started off
- 11:37right before we started like oh man, I'm exhausted and I kind of
- 11:39drug my ass in here too. We all kind of drug in and then
- 11:42Blasey fed off your energy in a minute later Blasey fired up and
- 11:46he's going on about you know, this and that and he's so he's
- 11:48so fired up telling the story and going well, really not much
- 11:51to it boom, but you know it. Was so.
- 11:56And it was so good to. Our shows, our shows always kind
- 11:59of just start and they're just gradual.
- 12:01It's kind of like a big old jet. Airliner getting all I got
- 12:04pretty wound, you know, pretty. Quick and then it goes.
- 12:08My as I will say my ass in was about to pass my front end.
- 12:11You know what I mean It was just could not keep that thing under
- 12:13control. You know, just.
- 12:15Try I'm proud of you for showing up to even do because that
- 12:19that's that's a tough day. That's a tough day.
- 12:22You know, and look, everybody in the chat tonight, I'm sure those
- 12:26of you who've listened to the podcast, we'll do this in a
- 12:28little more formal and fun style.
- 12:31We got a wish, Mr. Chad Blasi, the one man posse, a happy damn
- 12:36birthday. Happy birthday tomorrow.
- 12:39Happy birthday. That's very nice of y'all.
- 12:41I wonder why y'all remember that?
- 12:43That's great. Somebody please make him a.
- 12:44Nice. We needed a reminder and
- 12:46somebody make. Him a nice AI generated New
- 12:49Guinea tribe doing a dance picture of him.
- 12:53I'm going to repost that thing tomorrow.
- 12:54Maybe somebody will see it. I think it's, I think it's
- 12:56hilarious. I'll repost that.
- 12:58Bitch, don't. Just can't.
- 12:59Bring it on and it's pretty. Good.
- 13:01It's pretty good because at first I thought it was just some
- 13:03AI crap and I was like, wait, these students really did this?
- 13:06The name. 'S I still think it is AI crap
- 13:09but but that's OK. What's up?
- 13:12Tigs bits crew and of course the Bubba army from mortar.
- 13:15What's happening? Oh yeah, man, you're.
- 13:17Damn right, Paul. Hey, I was all I was cutting the
- 13:20grass today and I got real bored.
- 13:23Oh yes, he is. He's got the handler shirt
- 13:25rocking. But you were talking about music
- 13:28a while ago. I had no damn music today.
- 13:32So I was just having to make my own little skits up in my mind.
- 13:35And for some reason, you know what stuck in my head and I kept
- 13:38and I just I found myself on that lawnmower because I was
- 13:40going through some kind of thick stuff, getting a little nervous.
- 13:42Old booger box was going to come out of there and come at me.
- 13:43You know what I mean? I got thinking about one of
- 13:46those commercials that Bubba does on the podcast, that Pride,
- 13:50passion and performance. You know, it did so loud.
- 13:53Oh yeah, it did. It freaks me out.
- 13:55I would burn and get down there towards.
- 13:57So I get real thick and I just scream at pride, passion and
- 13:59performance. My mom was up there at the
- 14:06house. She came out one time and she
- 14:07did her arms up. I did it.
- 14:09I probably did that 40 times. I was just giggling at myself
- 14:12out there cutting that, just going down the swamp.
- 14:15Pride, passion and performance. It scares the hell out of me
- 14:20when he does it. You were doing it.
- 14:22You had a lot. You were passionate, you were
- 14:23performing. That's.
- 14:25Right. I'd love to see how sound
- 14:29engineer puts these, you know, I want to see Seth or however they
- 14:32put those those ads in and like what levels that they recorded
- 14:36at because it's certainly much louder than than everything.
- 14:40But that's what it's designed to do.
- 14:42They do it on the radio too. I mean, that's that's radio
- 14:44stuff. That's old school radio stuff,
- 14:48man. It's cool and it and it works.
- 14:50It works. Bubba usually does those soon as
- 14:52the show ends that he has the reads he has to do and he'll do
- 14:56that like the show ends at, you know, 9 Central, 10 Eastern,
- 14:59whatever. He'll do those then for all the
- 15:02all the stuff so they can lay it out.
- 15:03But he sits there by himself and and does those.
- 15:05That's all I do now. Yes, yes.
- 15:08John, I thought you were frozen. You were just sitting there.
- 15:10I was like, what? Why are y'all listening to me?
- 15:12Hello. Hey am I pixelated?
- 15:14I think these two guys are lying to me.
- 15:16I think Jr. is lying too. You look good today.
- 15:18Today you look perfect. Yeah, you're great today.
- 15:20For whatever reason, everybody looks good today.
- 15:21Everybody. You look great.
- 15:22You got Jim Morrison over your shoulder.
- 15:26You know what's funny is that we.
- 15:27Use or just whatever you can find on the floor on your way to
- 15:29the studio to wear. I'm glad you dressed up.
- 15:32For our audience, they appreciate.
- 15:33Grabbing my Hanes on the way. It's actually.
- 15:35Got a little, I think it's AV neck almost.
- 15:37This is just Jr. being healed today.
- 15:39I'm just ribbing by the I've just healed Jr.
- 15:42I've. Got a problem with Jr. and it
- 15:44doesn't take long for this energy to turn tigs into a heal
- 15:48quick. You can ask my group, my group
- 15:51tax friends. I kind of can come in hot.
- 15:55I don't want to. I don't either.
- 15:56I don't want, I don't want his birthday.
- 15:58Yeah, it's place birthday. I want to be like a manager heel
- 16:01where I can get, I can throw. It'll be a little heel.
- 16:02I can't go all the way because I'm not the talent, you know.
- 16:04I'm just the manager. I'm the valet.
- 16:06I just want valet heel, you know?
- 16:08Yeah, I like little shots. As the big.
- 16:10It always comes back to the wise.
- 16:12Man, like if you're King Kong, if you're King Kong Bundy, I'm
- 16:16Bobby Debrain Heenan, you know what I mean?
- 16:17That kind of deal. And Mark Coleman.
- 16:20Mark Coleman, love it. Absolutely.
- 16:23Oh, that's a. That's a great wardrobe change.
- 16:29There may be another one before that.
- 16:30Lacey and I, Speaking of legends, we we text Dan
- 16:33Henderson the other night and we were hammered or actually called
- 16:36him trying to text and then I text him told him I'm sorry, I
- 16:38called him. But Hindo, if you're out there,
- 16:40if you ever see this, my bad bro.
- 16:42I'm a holler at you when I'm sober and we'll make that
- 16:44happen. Teaser.
- 16:46I'm trying to get AUFC guy on our podcast coming up.
- 16:49I'm working on it. Yes, yes, yes.
- 16:53I mean, look, there's so many things we gave, we gave some
- 16:56teasers out last night. Beauty of that show.
- 16:59I took it, heard it. I knew we needed to clean up the
- 17:02very beginning of it, fix that, put it out, sent it this morning
- 17:05and then bam, here we are talking about it.
- 17:08I haven't listened to the whole show except for what we did.
- 17:12I just knew how to start it, to end it.
- 17:14I never, I never go back and listen to anything I ever did.
- 17:18Hardly ever. I mean every now then on
- 17:20something I. Don't have your choice to edit
- 17:22it, You have to. You have to go.
- 17:25But if I was in y'all shoes, I'd probably never listen to it
- 17:28either. When I used in the first podcast
- 17:30ever did I did the first, you know, hand dozen episodes or so
- 17:33and then I was like. You were here.
- 17:36You just did it. You remember what you talked
- 17:39about. I would write and I still do
- 17:41this, you know, but which which which we do this live, which I
- 17:44guess it's good to have that practice beforehand, but I would
- 17:46write notes because that's the that's the one beauty I don't
- 17:49people know about, like television and movies and
- 17:52podcasting is you can edit, you know, you record stuff.
- 17:55You don't even have to record it in order.
- 17:57You can check, put the same shirt on you wore yesterday in
- 17:59the same hat and pretend it's the same day.
- 18:01I mean, it's make believe when you when you get to put it
- 18:04together, which is good in a lot of ways because you can, you can
- 18:08fit time formats and and make sure it's clean and palatable.
- 18:12But but the live thing is a beast of its own, you know, so
- 18:18there's no like back in the day, I'd write down, yeah, probably
- 18:20ought to drop where we called so and so and so and so and or or
- 18:24or we or we, you know, didn't know this or didn't know that or
- 18:27I don't look like an idiot. Don't make it look like I don't
- 18:29know all 50 states or something, you know?
- 18:33So you got, but I think it takes a little bit of courage to just
- 18:36put yourself out there and be cool with I'm going to screw up
- 18:39multiple times pretty much in every show.
- 18:42I'm going to stumble over my words.
- 18:44I'm going to I don't, you know, so is everybody else that's
- 18:47watching this. So is everybody, you know.
- 18:50I just start sweating soon as you say that.
- 18:51I'm. I'm not the expert.
- 18:52Hardly anything like why don't you say that?
- 18:55You know, I get real nervous. Usually it's something I can
- 18:56handle, though, you know what I mean.
- 18:58How many holes are on a golf course?
- 19:00OK. Thank you, 18.
- 19:02And thanks to ChatGPT, we, there's no, you know, it's kind
- 19:07of, we can get there now. There's sixteen holes on a golf
- 19:10course because everybody knows you just get ripped on the last
- 19:14two. I don't. 1st 16's all the ones
- 19:20that count. That's.
- 19:21In my book, 18 is definitely never counts, but I haven't
- 19:27played golf in a while. Man, it's been a long time.
- 19:29Dude I hadn't played either I just I I do this now instead of
- 19:31play golf. This is my new.
- 19:33Hobby Blasey, Have you ever told the story?
- 19:34Does anybody? Does everybody on here know that
- 19:36at one time though, Blasey was a competition long driver and
- 19:40competed with the greatest? In the world, I don't think they
- 19:43know that before they before we talk about this, you guys don't
- 19:46forget to hit that like button subscribe do all that stuff
- 19:49share it get it out there. If you're watching this on
- 19:52Twitter retweet this sucker. If you're watching it on
- 19:55YouTube, share it get take the link over to Facebook, share it
- 19:58do whatever. But yes, blasey blasey, the one
- 20:02man posse can absolutely. Crush.
- 20:07A golf it may be a little rusty now, but if this is something we
- 20:10get this, if we get this clip back to Bubba and he calls him
- 20:12out on it, we can get Lacey back in the back on the T box.
- 20:16We might. We might I.
- 20:17Can still move it. OK, I can move it OK.
- 20:18I just don't play enough. And you know, obviously I get a
- 20:21little older each year, so you know what I mean?
- 20:24I, I ain't 25 anymore. Back when I could really move
- 20:27that thing, you know, and really, really create some
- 20:29crazy, crazy club head speed. You know what's crazy is hearing
- 20:33him hit it, the sound of that damn Golf Club when it hits the
- 20:36ball, because I mean, folks, don't let him under sell this.
- 20:41We're going. We're going to get.
- 20:43The facts out here. All right, So Blasey, what years
- 20:45were you, where were you living and what years were you doing
- 20:47the competition long drive? Man, it was so this was like
- 20:52early 2000s and I was living. I was in Troy when I first
- 20:56started really getting into it. Like this is like 2000, 2001.
- 21:01Did you, was it because you saw it on ESPN or is it?
- 21:03Just been seeing it on ESPN. I always knew I could hit it a
- 21:05long way. And then there happened to be a
- 21:07local qualifier. The very first one I ever went
- 21:09to is in Panama City Beach and there was a local, that's where
- 21:11it starts at the local level. See if you can go there.
- 21:13And I went there, my little stop ping driver and I get there and
- 21:17this guy named Chad Roberts was out measuring.
- 21:20He was out in the and then and this other guy crushing Cliff
- 21:24Thrasher, he was an older guy. He was in the senior division.
- 21:27He was there running the event and I was hitting and then I
- 21:30watched Chad Roberts hit and I was like, good God, you know
- 21:33what I mean? Like that dude, I mean, just to
- 21:35me, it looked different than mine.
- 21:37Of course, he comes running back up there and he's like, who is
- 21:40hitting? Who just got through hitting?
- 21:41And he wanted to know because there's a bunch of people there
- 21:43hitting, he said, who just got through hitting.
- 21:44I like, I did, what are you hitting?
- 21:46And I told him he's like, dude, I've never seen a golf ball
- 21:49bounce like that. He's like, that thing is hot,
- 21:51you know? And I'm like, OK, thank you, you
- 21:54know what I mean? Whatever.
- 21:54Then watch him hit. I'm like, dude, he's hitting way
- 21:56past me, but he's not, you know what I mean?
- 21:58What I realized is I had a really low ball spin rate.
- 22:01I had a really good launch angle with a really good ball spin
- 22:03rate. That means it wasn't spinning
- 22:04like crazy backwards, so it was hitting.
- 22:07I mean, it's going on out there, but then when it's hitting, it's
- 22:09really taking off too. It's like when you play Tiger
- 22:11Woods and you're just hitting that button.
- 22:13Yeah, yeah. That's what.
- 22:15Your ball does. Yeah, I want, I want the lower
- 22:17ball spin, not backwards, crazy backwards.
- 22:19I want, you know, anyway, so long time I'm kind of getting
- 22:22off in the weeds. But anyway, he kind of got me
- 22:24pumped up. I was like, OK, you know, I'm
- 22:25hitting it out there with him. He looks like he is hitting it
- 22:27over the moon, you know what I mean?
- 22:29But he was still he was hitting further than me.
- 22:31This. Too, And he's probably has a
- 22:32different a different type style.
- 22:34Oh my God, he had. Freaking clubs at the time,
- 22:36close to 50 inch shafts, three degree loft drivers, which is
- 22:39just basically like a flat face like he was way advanced, you
- 22:42know what I mean? Here I am a little stock paying
- 22:44driver. So, you know, it gave me a
- 22:46little hope and I did, I did good at the qualifier actually
- 22:48advanced to I moved on to the that year to the regionals and
- 22:54which was in Laurel, Ms. and and so I went over there and dude, I
- 22:59had a great run that year. It's my first year went over
- 23:02there stealing my I love that stock ping driver.
- 23:04I went over there to stock ping driver.
- 23:05Maybe look at me like I was an idiot, you know, like what is
- 23:08this guy? I was going to ask, you didn't
- 23:09upgrade so you stuck with the ping that.
- 23:11Year it felt so good, you know what I mean and I even ripped
- 23:13the weight out of the back of it.
- 23:14I didn't I felt like I could hit better without it.
- 23:16You know I know more than ping does but so yeah, dude, I'm over
- 23:20there, but I am absolutely I'm and this is back when you
- 23:23everybody had to go to these qualifiers.
- 23:25So all the David Mobley is one world long drive champion, Sean
- 23:30the Beast Fister, dude, all these legends of long driver
- 23:33there and here I am. I'm just hands down the smallest
- 23:36guy there. But the next thing you know,
- 23:38this thing goes all day, all evening into the night.
- 23:41You know, we started with like 90 golfers, dude, here I am
- 23:44standing there, end of the night, top 15, still standing.
- 23:47You know, damn, who is this kid? You know, all these sponsored
- 23:50people, they got 12 golf clubs. I still got about one Ping
- 23:53driver modified. Ping.
- 23:57And dude, I'm going to tell you what happened to me.
- 23:59This is where I got some dude played head games with me and I
- 24:01don't remember who it was. I wish it would, I'd call him
- 24:03out. He walked up to me.
- 24:04He said, man, let me see your club.
- 24:05And he took a little caliper thing and he put it on the face
- 24:07of it. And he said, Oh yeah, your, your
- 24:10club face is done. It's crushed in.
- 24:12And I was like, huh? He said, yeah, look, it should
- 24:14be a bevel on it. You know, he showed me an
- 24:16airspace between his tool and my club face.
- 24:19And dude, just right in my brain, you know what I mean?
- 24:22I've been hammering it. Why did I believe that?
- 24:24I mean, I feel I believed it, you know?
- 24:27And it was it. They took eight to the world
- 24:29finals that night. I finished, I finished like 9th
- 24:31or 10th, like right there, but you know, just missed it.
- 24:34And then I did the same thing the next year.
- 24:36Missed it. I.
- 24:37Thought she had been more mentally strong than let to get
- 24:39you down, especially coming from where?
- 24:40You thought he was trying to. It's his first.
- 24:42Time it's his Yeah no, it was like it's like in Happy Gilmore
- 24:46when Shooter takes him you know, meet him meet me at the 9th
- 24:49grade it's. Kind of like where Munn and
- 24:51Nelson. Kind of like when Casey
- 24:52introduced me to Munn and Nelson and made me tell him all my my
- 24:55back story about a week before I pledged.
- 24:57Yeah, that was. I thought they were trying to
- 24:59help me. You know what I mean?
- 25:00That's what they thought. Yeah, he says.
- 25:03Yeah, Lacey is the real happy guilt.
- 25:04He is. I've watched him hit multiple.
- 25:07He is the real Happy Gilmore. So, so all right, so I want to
- 25:10get this full story out. So we have it recorded because
- 25:12we've nipped on it. Well, this is good.
- 25:14This is going good. So alright, so so year got in
- 25:17your head. Year one dropped out top 15,
- 25:19though regionals still a good chance.
- 25:22Wish you knew this guy's name so we could call him out and bring
- 25:24him on the show and let you let you give him the business.
- 25:26But so we're going into year two, you got a little more
- 25:28acknowledge, a little more experience and probably a little
- 25:31more drive now that you've had that success in the first
- 25:33season. Yes, I did, man.
- 25:35So phenomenal. I really went to work.
- 25:37I ended up getting bang golf equipment at the time I got bang
- 25:41and Accuflex shafts. I started loaded up with them,
- 25:44reached out to them. Those guys were willing to send
- 25:46me free equipment. So I, I didn't get money or
- 25:48anything, but I was getting equipment.
- 25:50So I got, I started putting stuff together, right?
- 25:52Different length shafts. I'm playing around trying to get
- 25:54longer. How long can I get to where
- 25:56there's a point where you start losing it?
- 25:58Because I'm not real big and so I couldn't go real long, but I
- 26:01could go like an extra inch on the shaft of the driver.
- 26:03And these some of these guys were going just crazy length
- 26:05like 55 inch shafts and stuff like trying to just like a brim.
- 26:09And what's the standard? What's what's what lengths is
- 26:11yours if there's a 50? Five like like like 4545 1/2.
- 26:15I think it's a 44. You know, something like that's
- 26:17a standard pro club, right? Sometimes even shorter, like 43
- 26:211/2 or whatever. So I got it up to like 46 and a
- 26:24half 47 somewhere in there. That's about as far as I could
- 26:26go, man. You know, I think Phil Mickelson
- 26:28hats plays like a 46 Like, you know, I mean it's it's it was
- 26:31close to more like what a regular professional would play
- 26:34with like a real golfer, not just a long drive guy, but do
- 26:38next year. This is where it gets weird.
- 26:39So I'm working on my timing and I find sometimes I would just
- 26:43over I just over swing and in order to what I figured out if I
- 26:48would get in my nice leather flip flops and hit, I would stay
- 26:53in control. I would finish balanced and I
- 26:55wasn't over swinging it, dude. I was just pounding it, pounding
- 26:58it out there. I mean literally I'd hit 10 golf
- 27:01balls. Eight of them will be in the
- 27:03grid. The grid's 40 yards wide.
- 27:04Like I was like, I'm going. To and what distance are you
- 27:06shooting at this moment, at this point?
- 27:08I mean somewhere between anywhere, depends on the day,
- 27:11the track and all that. Let's just call it 350 to 380.
- 27:14You know what I mean? Gotcha, hitting it out there on
- 27:16standard situation and did I get down to Tampa and I'm in that
- 27:21quad, get down there, get on the tee box.
- 27:22You know now on the tee box, Chad Blasey, the one man posse
- 27:26now they didn't say that, but they said so they called me up
- 27:29on the tee box. They should I should have told
- 27:30him that. And then I get on my I had my
- 27:33they kept saying I had flip flops on and I was like, well,
- 27:35there's nothing in golf rules dude.
- 27:37The guy comes out and stops me and says I cannot hit him.
- 27:39I was like, there's a dude over there with a cut off shirt on.
- 27:42Literally a cut off sleeve shirt on, you know what I mean?
- 27:45There's a guy over there with some denim jeans on, cut off at
- 27:48the knees, and I got a hockey leather.
- 27:51I can't. Play with these leather sandals
- 27:53on, he said. Nope.
- 27:54I said can I hit barefooted? He said no and it's just one guy
- 27:58making up his own rules because that's not that's not true in
- 28:00golf, dude. It's not true.
- 28:01It's not even true in long drive.
- 28:02But I had to conform and I had like 3 minutes.
- 28:04He said you got 3 minutes to figure this out.
- 28:06So I had to run, go put tennis shoes on.
- 28:07So that screwed me up again there too.
- 28:10Now that's the year. Now that one I still hit OK, but
- 28:12dude, I was just used to my flip flop situation.
- 28:15I lost by 7 yards that year from making it to the finals.
- 28:17The third year I did it, dude, I'm hammering it.
- 28:20I'm having, I hit it 403 yards, the longest ever hit it.
- 28:24And dude, I still missed out on the world Finals, you know what
- 28:27I mean? So it was fun, dude.
- 28:27After that I just kind of. You hit it four O 3.
- 28:31Yeah, in a competition, yes, I did.
- 28:33Damn, that's 1200 feet. That's 12109 feet if we're going
- 28:38to beat. That's insane.
- 28:40What? What's the distances that beat
- 28:42you? Blasey.
- 28:43How much farther are they hitting it dude?
- 28:45It was a real, real hot track out there, you know what I mean?
- 28:48Like real bounce. It was just who's getting the
- 28:50better bounce. You know what I mean?
- 28:51Ate that much like literally four 10412, something like that
- 28:55ended up, you know, just a couple of those in there.
- 28:57But I won one year in Tampa, beat a big guy.
- 29:01What's his name? I can't think of his name.
- 29:02He he's been in the top five several times.
- 29:04Beat him in the local qualifier in Tampa one time, but then in
- 29:07the regional, which also was in Tampa.
- 29:10No, it's actually South of Tampa.
- 29:11I stayed in Tampa and that's the one where I got disqualified or
- 29:14not disqualified, but they told me I couldn't hit my flip flops.
- 29:16So you know what? I just was like, man, I'm kind
- 29:19of done with this game. You.
- 29:20Know kind of reach the pinnacle of the sport.
- 29:23Yeah, and it started to make it real difficult to to get in.
- 29:26They started giving all these exemptions and it started almost
- 29:28being like the PGA Tour, like man, it's just real hard.
- 29:31Instead of making everybody go through it, they just made a few
- 29:33people go through it, you know what I mean?
- 29:34And most people are exempted all the way the world finals.
- 29:37And it was just, it was real difficult.
- 29:39It just came with, I bet, with your media.
- 29:41I bet your status in the media now we could get you back up on
- 29:44the charts pretty good pretty quick.
- 29:46Hey, that senior Division I, I could go hand, that's what I'm.
- 29:48Thinking and what I'm thinking is, you know what a little bit
- 29:50you've lost to youth and strength, you know, with a
- 29:55little strength there probably. But I mean, you're still strong
- 29:57as a bull because you keep yourself up.
- 30:00You always did. But now you're smarter.
- 30:02And if you could get flexible and you could figure out those
- 30:05angles a little tighter and a little this and be a little more
- 30:08focused probably than you were, you know, 20 years ago, you
- 30:11might even make up for it and then some.
- 30:14Give yourself just enough and be an even crazier story.
- 30:18And if you do, you got to wear your flip flops.
- 30:20You got to get to prove beforehand and Maven wear a
- 30:23hockey jersey, a rougaroo hockey jersey in honor.
- 30:26Of here you go. Great sponsor by Rougaroo flip
- 30:29flops. And especially if it was a Tampa
- 30:31guy that hosed you. We'll get Bubble on the radio to
- 30:33get it. Get the Army out.
- 30:34There to find out if we've got to figure out who this Jackass
- 30:37is, I mean. And then make him redo it and
- 30:39let him try to compete with you when you smoke.
- 30:41If you you win, you get in the national competition.
- 30:43There's a shoe in pay off Grandma's house.
- 30:46That's a great idea, man. Or or they get Gene Lasker.
- 30:54There's no in between. Gene Lasker throw them in the
- 30:57oven once once we catch them. In a heartbeat.
- 30:59But that's also think. Twice about it.
- 31:02And I, I was around when I remember going, when you were
- 31:04going through all that, but I didn't know.
- 31:06That's cool to hear the story in chronological order like that,
- 31:09to put it all together like in a format where you could you could
- 31:12see it all laying out in front of you.
- 31:14I don't think we've ever completely laid it out at any
- 31:17point in this entire podcast. Maybe in Florida, man, we
- 31:20touched on it years, couple years ago when we did this.
- 31:23But yeah, I'm glad to have that too.
- 31:26We needed that, that it was fun, man, it was fun and I waited it.
- 31:30Was fun competing for world class athletes like it was
- 31:33nothing and I just like just showed up from the house.
- 31:36It was cool man with this. Bing.
- 31:38There's a lot of cool people in that group like there were there
- 31:40were several of those guys. Hardcore, what was his name
- 31:43hardcore Charles Hartley Hardcore and Chad Roberts and
- 31:49crushing Cliff Cliff Thrasher did those three guys and Cliff
- 31:52legend in the sport and Chad Roberts is he would win the he
- 31:55would always win the Home Run Derby out there, but they had a
- 31:57fence sitting out there at like 360.
- 31:59You had to hit it, not just hit it there, you hit it in the air
- 32:01or 380, whatever it was because it hit it so high and just carry
- 32:04it so far. And he would always win that and
- 32:07and Charles Hartley would hardcore.
- 32:09He got into a bad car accident and but before that dude, he was
- 32:13just a beast, you know, but those dudes, I went out with him
- 32:15drinking and talking, you know, I mean, it's like it felt like
- 32:18Field of Dreams type deal, you know what I mean?
- 32:19It's like you know all these names and now you need to hang
- 32:21out with them and. Well, that's what I was going to
- 32:23say. Those those type sports like
- 32:25that. And this is no knock on them by
- 32:27any means, because they're all sports, but the, the different
- 32:29level sports and the different summer team and, and, and just
- 32:32what level they're at. So you can have that access to
- 32:35be around them that close. But like those guys like pool,
- 32:38pro pool players, like pro bowlers, you know, there's some
- 32:43characters in those bunches. You know what I mean?
- 32:45You see the clips and videos of these guys and gals, man, there
- 32:48are some characters in in all sports, obviously, but but some
- 32:52of those sports for sure. I could only imagine that might
- 32:55be my YouTube dive tonight is to go look up.
- 32:57Oh no, I've got one on my mind right now that I'm pulling up.
- 33:01Y'all keep talking. Great.
- 33:03And it is like bowling on steroids, you know it's
- 33:05something else. Well, now a new one is the is
- 33:08the cornhole cornhole is is is as big as anything now and you
- 33:13know video games that's a new one that's huge The the what do
- 33:20you call drone racing and things like that others characters in
- 33:23all of those now you. Know.
- 33:24And when they make movies, they make spoofy movies about that
- 33:27kind of stuff because it's funny and it's true, you know?
- 33:31It is, it's, it's all kind of wild stuff out there, man, you
- 33:33know? Did you ever do any of the other
- 33:35of those sports? Blasey?
- 33:36Were you good at pool? Bowling in in those type sports?
- 33:39Throwing darts. I wasn't like I was.
- 33:41I was OK at pool because growing up that's all I did, you know?
- 33:45I'd hang out an old pool hall, and then I was.
- 33:47That's the one I was thinking about.
- 33:48During the day, Oh yeah, dude, that's freaking awesome, that
- 33:51is. Ready.
- 33:52Yeah. You don't have the audio.
- 34:11Who's the man? I am Pete Weber.
- 34:15That's correct. Pete Weber, the greatest dude.
- 34:18Awesome. I love it, I love it.
- 34:22Who do you think you are? I am.
- 34:24It's just the best. That's old man.
- 34:29So pretty good at pretty good at pool, Blasey, not so much.
- 34:32Darts. Bowling.
- 34:34That was pool. I play pool at night, hang out
- 34:35in the pool hall with all these pool sharks and watch them and
- 34:38learn. Had that Steve Mizracks learn
- 34:41from the best order that VCR tape didn't learn more about
- 34:44shooting pool than you can. How many how many times did you
- 34:47watch The Color of Money? Oh my God, that dude.
- 34:50Paul Newman. Oh man, what a movie.
- 34:52Hey, and I tell you and and as much as I love that when I
- 34:55became an adult and became really got into movies that I I
- 34:58didn't see as a kid because they were before my time when I
- 35:00finally saw the Hustler with Jackie Gleason.
- 35:03I mean, dude, what a movie. It's kind of like when because
- 35:06we thought we thought color money was so good, then you go
- 35:09back and watch that Well, now I can see why old timers probably
- 35:11thought color money suck because I mean the the hustle was
- 35:14basically perfect, but the. Yeah.
- 35:16It was. Yeah, it was.
- 35:17Yeah, I. Mean they Speaking of Paul Paul
- 35:19Newman had a little interaction at what we talked about it on
- 35:23the show last night. The Louisiana political Hall of
- 35:25Fame. They filmed the movie blaze,
- 35:28which Paul Newman played Earl K long in that movie and it was
- 35:34filmed there in in Winfield, Louisiana, the home of Huey P
- 35:38Long and all of that. They had this memorabilia.
- 35:41They had this big sign in there that was signed by everybody
- 35:44that was part of the cast, including Paul Newman.
- 35:48And then they had other just a lot of, you know, a lot of
- 35:51autographs on stuff while while they were in town.
- 35:54But a lot of the things that were around back then, like
- 35:57these old bars that Earl K Long would go to and all, they were
- 36:01still intact. They were still there when they
- 36:04filmed this in the late 80s, early early 90s, late 80s I
- 36:07believe is when they filmed it. But all that stuff was still
- 36:10there. They all stayed there in
- 36:12Winfield. They had this little Mexican
- 36:15restaurant that they all would hang out at like they just did.
- 36:19The whole town of Winfield turned into a movie set.
- 36:22I mean, I don't, you know, I was a kid when this was happening,
- 36:25but I mean, you got freaking Paul Newman just chilling in
- 36:28your town. How?
- 36:30Amazing man, when I out there's a y'all remember the movie Slap
- 36:34shot the hockey movie with Paul Newman in it.
- 36:36So in Johnstown, PA is where that's filmed.
- 36:39And we've played there a few times in that same building, the
- 36:41War Memorial there in Johnstown. And you go to the little bar
- 36:44right around the corner from the venue and there's still the
- 36:46picture of Paul Newman and his Plaid pants.
- 36:48I mean, same thing that I can imagine it was same thing there.
- 36:51I bet they took over the town, were there for months filming
- 36:54and there's picture of him at the bar where you know, so you
- 36:57know, they just hung out at the local places and it was a lot
- 36:59more chill back then too. Most definitely mostly no social
- 37:03media and all of that stuff they had, they laid side.
- 37:05Cell phones. Hey, come over here real quick.
- 37:07He's right here. Yeah, exactly.
- 37:09They they had a like a lot of the movie crew and all the
- 37:12people that were part of that, they built a sidewalk while they
- 37:16were there and they all signed it and did all that stuff.
- 37:20I don't know if there's a Paul Newman signature in that.
- 37:22I didn't stick around the I did. I forgot to ask and I didn't
- 37:25look. But one of the coolest things, I
- 37:27didn't mention this on the show last night that I came home with
- 37:31totally just unbelievable. They have them here.
- 37:34I kind of don't even want to tell people about this, but they
- 37:37have the original. Huey P Long wrote a book called
- 37:41Every Man a King, and it's his autobiography.
- 37:45It's the autobiography of Huey P Longwell.
- 37:48He had several of the first editions, like the very first
- 37:52editions were shipped to his house are shipped to to New
- 37:56Orleans and they still have them in that museum.
- 38:01They have them for sale with a certificate of authenticity.
- 38:05Oh really? Yes, and it is the old 1933 like
- 38:09you can feel the pages. They're thicker, you know, just
- 38:12the the texture and all. You can see there's some
- 38:16wormholes where before they treated it, but they're just
- 38:19very. Expensive. $25 What?
- 38:24Yeah. Wow.
- 38:27I'm, I'm considering going up back up there and buying the
- 38:30whole, all of them, yeah. You should just corner the
- 38:32market. Yeah, and then sell them.
- 38:35And they and then they. Don't get an idea.
- 38:37He's got a whole warehouse full of them, 750 each.
- 38:40No, but I mean, they, it comes with an actual certificate of
- 38:43authenticity. I mean, they, they still, there
- 38:45was one trunk in the that they told us about.
- 38:49They showed us there is still a trunk.
- 38:51Probably. There's probably 50 or 60 books
- 38:55in that deal. They.
- 38:56Were more they weren't I need to if you go get I want to I may
- 39:01we'll talk to you about it because I'd like to get that
- 39:03that would be a cool gift for like my father-in-law, you know
- 39:06or something to give my nephews to have to put in their
- 39:08libraries when they. Almost walked out without it
- 39:11too. Like I looked at it and I don't
- 39:13have been. Yeah, there was. 250 that's
- 39:15attracted. To books, but I'm I see a book
- 39:17from 1930 and it's still like I'm like is this original?
- 39:22Yes, this is first run and it comes with a what?
- 39:25We. Let we were in the truck leaving
- 39:28and I and and my wife Tammy's like I'm getting you that book.
- 39:32You don't ever want anything like I'm going, I'm going back
- 39:35down with all right, go get it. Go get.
- 39:37The book. Good job.
- 39:38Tammy, I do. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 39:40I got to have one. I love to like, say, even if I
- 39:42don't read the whole thing, man, I just like having it.
- 39:44I love touching, looking at. It's cool.
- 39:45Yeah, I'm, I've read the book. Actually I wrote a.
- 39:47Term I want to read. It yeah, wrote a term paper on
- 39:49Huey P Long. I've read that book and.
- 39:52Make better chance to read it if you got it than if you don't.
- 39:55I might read it again just to say I read an original on CD.
- 39:59Or or digital copy of that. I don't think the Kingfish, I
- 40:02don't think he dropped an autobiography, I don't think he
- 40:06dropped it. I don't think he voices his.
- 40:09Just imagine if he did. He would have.
- 40:13I mean, I promise you that Cat would have been all over this
- 40:16stuff. He would.
- 40:17Have been as big as the person there.
- 40:20Oh God, don't. You know it well, I've tried to
- 40:22listen to some Hemingway books on audio and it it'll be some
- 40:25famous person narrating it, you know, or talking it out.
- 40:30But I still in my mind, I want to hear Hemingway's voice.
- 40:33So because when I read it, I talk in his voice.
- 40:35So it's like, it kind of throws me off.
- 40:37But Hemingway obviously didn't record, you know, read all of
- 40:40his books to record like that. Some, not all.
- 40:43Kind of like the that that Fauci that Fauci book by RFK Junior.
- 40:49Thank God RFK Junior doesn't read it.
- 40:51Oh. Wow, that would be tough.
- 40:53Hey, the opposite of that is one that one that you can get.
- 40:57That is one of my all time favorite books.
- 40:59While we're talking about books is Charlie Daniels.
- 41:01Let's all make the day count and a great book.
- 41:04He narrates it. This is actually his quotes.
- 41:08But where is this other 10? Here it is, this one he narrates
- 41:14and you can get it on audio book Never Look, Never Look at the
- 41:17Empty Seats by Charlie Daniels. It's his autobiography and he
- 41:20reads it. It's Charlie's voice.
- 41:21It's just perfect. So that I'm interested in.
- 41:26I'd rather listen to that than read it honestly.
- 41:28Yeah, I, I did, I did, I did both.
- 41:31But yeah, listen to him tell it's even better because it's
- 41:33his voice and I got this on. I just do the audible thing and
- 41:37I'll sign up and get a couple credits and then cancel it and.
- 41:39Then I do the same thing, you know?
- 41:41What I mean? If you hang on tight, they'll
- 41:44give you a deal and they'll be like you can.
- 41:47Join me that I said it's just Charlie Daniels.
- 41:49Never, never look at the. Empty seats.
- 41:52That's right, Pride, passion and performance.
- 41:55He says Charlie says never look at the empty seats because
- 41:58that's not who you're worried about.
- 41:59You're worried about the people who did show up to see you.
- 42:01Work. That's it.
- 42:02Bubba Fan, 69, says he'd love a Bubba audiobook.
- 42:06Yeah, could you imagine this? And he's telling the Gawker
- 42:11story just. I mean, he he he's already told
- 42:15it. The audio book is out there.
- 42:16He just needs to piece his show together and to form it into a
- 42:19book. It's there, he's dropped it.
- 42:22Everything. There's no secrets with Bubba.
- 42:24That's what it that's what's so appealing about it.
- 42:27But yeah, I mean, we got to have him.
- 42:29Great, wouldn't it? We got to have him read his own
- 42:31auto autobiography and that's that's what's so good about like
- 42:36good old J Rs autobiography that he's the narrator in it.
- 42:41I just prefer to hear the person narrate their book because
- 42:45you're RFK Junior. That's no knock on RFK Junior.
- 42:48I like RFK Junior but I couldn't listen to a 27 hour book with
- 42:52him narrating it, which I did. Because when you read in some,
- 42:57when you read in a book, you read it in their voice.
- 43:00Or if it's like a fiction book, you read it in the voice of the
- 43:05person you think the character is.
- 43:06You know, you're creating the character in your head.
- 43:08So to read somebody's life story, you're going to probably
- 43:11read it in their voice. So hear it in their voice is is
- 43:14super cool, you know? Bubba fan says Did you ever hear
- 43:18the Chris Jericho interview where Chris was using Bubba's
- 43:22studios to record his book? Have not have not.
- 43:26But I'm all about the Walls of Jericho brothers, so.
- 43:31I'm the American Lion, I watched Jericho wrestle when he was
- 43:35first and WCW is the American Lion.
- 43:37I remember that back in the day. Yep.
- 43:38The American Lion. Always been a huge fan of of
- 43:41Jerry. Oh yeah, and his band Fozzie got
- 43:44a rock band. I mean, he's.
- 43:45Got they kick ass they're good he's.
- 43:47Good. He's good.
- 43:48He's just a hell of an entertainer, you know, he can do
- 43:50it all. He really he can do it all.
- 43:53And he put the time in, man, he's been working for a long
- 43:55time. I mean, he and, you know, and
- 43:58some big, big, big, you know, big angles.
- 44:03Paul Rogers, like slap shot. Yeah, I do too.
- 44:04Man what a great movie. Trying to listen to FA song.
- 44:09Yeah, Paul's right. Waylon Jennings autobiography is
- 44:12on Audible and he narrates it. Damn right it is.
- 44:15It's also on Spotify, something that's Spotify.
- 44:18Here you go for free Spotify. They have audio books now, very
- 44:23similarly to the way Audible is. There's not the newest and
- 44:27latest, but some of those older books like like Waylon Jennings.
- 44:31You can listen to it on Spotify now.
- 44:33Hey, I found a somebody turned me on to it was actually my
- 44:36buddy Mike Diamond turned me on to a random one the other day
- 44:38that's on Apple. I like Apple Music like just
- 44:41like you would download a song. But you can find this audio
- 44:43book. It's David Allen Coe.
- 44:45It's called Whoopsie Daisy, and it's basically an his
- 44:48autobiography that he's done a couple of them, but this one's
- 44:50probably from like the early 90s.
- 44:53And it's only about I think it's an hour and a half, two hours.
- 44:57It's two parts. So it's like 3 or 4 hours tops,
- 45:00the whole thing. But it's called Whoopsie Daisy.
- 45:02It's good and it's him, it's David Allen Coe.
- 45:04It's like, but it's put like it was recorded like ACD, like you
- 45:07got the CD and recorded it and put it out, man, You know what I
- 45:10mean? I I forgot to we talked about
- 45:12David Allen Coe not too long ago and I completely bet that night
- 45:16I was so worn out it kind of just flew over my head.
- 45:20But I had a neighbor or not a neighbor.
- 45:22I had a friend that tailgates at LSU and, and one of my best
- 45:28friend, Colby Cook from from high school and all he tailgates
- 45:32with them. So I go out there and there's
- 45:35this old eagle and this old silver eagle sitting out there.
- 45:39And I'm like, man, that thing's old and awesome.
- 45:42Well, it's our boys. It's Bears.
- 45:45It's our buddy Bears bus. Guess who's bus that was?
- 45:49That was David Allen Coe's tour bus in 1980.
- 45:53Fucking three, dude. Wow.
- 45:55Yeah. So, yeah, Can you imagine?
- 45:59Wow. And it was untouched.
- 46:01Original everything. Original couch, bed.
- 46:06Yeah. He had mirrors everywhere in
- 46:08that thing. Everywhere.
- 46:10He was he's a he's an odd cat. Listen to that book, Whoopsie
- 46:12Daisy. Check that out on on on Apple
- 46:15Music or wherever you find it that's worth.
- 46:16Listening to. All DAC I say signs at all in it
- 46:19DAC. It was text DAC.
- 46:24Even when he said yeah, you told us that even when he sends a
- 46:26text, he still has to. Just in case you didn't know who
- 46:29this was from, the title at the top of your phone doesn't say
- 46:33David Allen Coe, because I'm pretty sure that most people
- 46:36would put that in their phone if you had his number.
- 46:40Like, look who's calling me. You know, you're right.
- 46:43That's right, that's not the day I got Bubba the loves number I
- 46:46put you think I'd put anything else but Bubba the love sponge
- 46:50up there, you know what I mean? There's no confusion when I get
- 46:52a text from him. You didn't go BTSL on that.
- 46:54You don't have to do all that the whole way I had.
- 46:57To do that, Bubba, there you are.
- 47:00Hell yeah, because it messes you up.
- 47:02If you try to be clever, you try to be cute.
- 47:04And put some initials down or something.
- 47:06And then you don't remember who it was forever.
- 47:08And you're like, I had their number.
- 47:09Yeah, I had it under something stupid.
- 47:10Phone, dude, If somebody gets in your phone, you lock your phone
- 47:12up. You know what I mean?
- 47:13That's your own fault. Like so, yeah, I just had, you
- 47:16just have to put numbers in there.
- 47:17I mean, you're right. I mean, we, we don't have the
- 47:19Rolodex that Jr. has obviously, you know.
- 47:21Not. Not even.
- 47:23Not by a long shot. You know whose phone number?
- 47:25I do. I did have for a long time and I
- 47:28it's still in there. I don't know.
- 47:28It's still the same Nick Saban. I had Nick Saban's cell number
- 47:32for years. Saber, remember whenever I had
- 47:35that quarterback for Texas number?
- 47:37I don't remember his name now. That's how irrelevant he was.
- 47:41Wow. Bitch, I'm probably listening,
- 47:43thinking. Thanks man, thanks for putting
- 47:45me over. No, it was, it was in 2019.
- 47:49Oh, very recent. You had his?
- 47:50Oh, yes, it was at. I was at your house.
- 47:53Yes. And we texted him that.
- 47:55Yes. Sam Eller.
- 47:57That's his name. Sam Eller.
- 47:59Yeah. He hadn't ended up.
- 48:01He did what I thought he would do.
- 48:03Nothing. Anyhow.
- 48:06Horns down, baby. Oh my God.
- 48:08Yeah, they're welcome to the SEC, asshole.
- 48:11It's. Going to be a hey resting
- 48:13football season this year for sure.
- 48:15We got a finals game on to the game.
- 48:17I was just. Looking.
- 48:17We do. We do now, Yeah, I'm not.
- 48:19I'm not sure. Let's take a little talk about
- 48:21the Finals. I wasn't even aware that it
- 48:23started tonight. I knew this.
- 48:24Dallas and Boston are playing. I understand.
- 48:26You know the whole car. Well, look, I mean, that's I'm
- 48:28just taking, I'm just taking one from the Bubba the Love sponge
- 48:32deal. What's the hottest topic right
- 48:33now? I know we're live at 7:00 PM.
- 48:35It's the NBA final Finals. It's 20 to 15.
- 48:38Boston's up early first quarter, about halfway through the first
- 48:41quarter. There's your update.
- 48:43There we go. Yeah, Yeah.
- 48:46So yeah, I wanted to tell a couple of things last night when
- 48:49we did this show, kind of we ended it.
- 48:50And I'm like, hey, I have a bunch of notes of stuff that we
- 48:53never even got. Thanks for tuning.
- 48:55In you guys, it's been a great show again.
- 48:57I'll see y'all next week doing something.
- 48:58Again, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- 49:00Pride, passion and performance got to go into.
- 49:03Commercial. Don't worry, I'm I'm not
- 49:09sabotaging it like I did with my Patreon plug.
- 49:12By the way, you should go check out our Patreon Tigs bits.
- 49:15There is exclusive content and our boy Paul Rogers can tell you
- 49:20we dropped stuff that's still not been dropped.
- 49:22Like there's stuff over there that probably I'll never see
- 49:25light of day things over there that are kind of fun.
- 49:27Anyhow, I digress. I saw yesterday I was at A at a
- 49:32local gym working out with my son.
- 49:36It's the summer, he's starting football here in about a month,
- 49:39month and 1/2. He wants to get in good shape.
- 49:42We've rejoined the gym and and we're working on some stuff, you
- 49:46know. So we've we've been having fun,
- 49:48but I ran into my old pal Richard Condon.
- 49:51You guys don't know him, but he's basically Baton Rouge's
- 49:56version of Bubba the Love Sponge for no, it ain't even close.
- 50:00Like he for real is. He was a shock jock in the late
- 50:0480s, early 90s. I mean, like, but a local
- 50:09regional shock jock. You know that one of those guys,
- 50:12Jr. you've had to do media stuff with these guys and he still has
- 50:15a show on. He still has a show on 98.1.
- 50:19It's a flagship station of LSU. It's a big, you know, big FM
- 50:23station, rock station here in Baton Rouge.
- 50:26Huge reach. And he still has Condon
- 50:30uncensored. In the mornings, he goes crazy.
- 50:33I mean, he tells he is polarizing, to say the least.
- 50:37But he and I used to work together when I worked at Hogan
- 50:39Hardwoods Blossy. So, yeah, So we worked here in
- 50:43Baton Rouge, not whenever I lived over there, but just
- 50:48hilarious, dude. He's funny.
- 50:50His radio personality is polar opposite of how he is actually
- 50:54in real life. You know, like, what you see is
- 50:56what you get from us. Like, this is who we are.
- 51:00He is a little bit more controversial and edgy and and
- 51:03stuff, but he still has very strong opinions.
- 51:06Anyhow, I saw him yesterday and he gave us high, high praise
- 51:13about our show, our chemistry, how well we work together, all
- 51:18of that stuff, all the stuff you'd want to hear.
- 51:21He doesn't throw compliments out like that like that doesn't
- 51:25just, yeah, he doesn't just say this kind of stuff at all.
- 51:29In fact, to even hear him say something positive was like mind
- 51:33blowing, but it really meant something to me.
- 51:35I wanted to share that with you guys last night.
- 51:37He's a, he's a Baton Rouge legend.
- 51:40You loving, you hate him. He's you know, but he's a
- 51:43legend. No one can deny that.
- 51:45Yes Sir. Yes, Sir.
- 51:46So he's been listening, He's been checking us out.
- 51:48Man. There's more people.
- 51:50Yeah, let's hold him on. If he ever tell him to jump on
- 51:52and give us 10 minutes, chop it. Up I'm going to see him often.
- 51:55That's what I told him because I used to see him all the time.
- 51:57I work out the YMCA and, and our gym that we both used to work
- 52:02out at closed and once COVID hit, I just dropped my gym
- 52:06membership because it wasn't open for a while and I just
- 52:09started walking from my house every day.
- 52:11Well, Riley want to do this. I'm like hell yeah, let's get
- 52:14back in the gym. I love it.
- 52:15I love running on on one of those $10,000 ellipticals that I
- 52:20will never have at my house. You know, I love ellipticals.
- 52:23So bam, I'm back in the gym. I will get felt before the end
- 52:26of this summer. Dude, I need to.
- 52:27Send y'all some pictures of our gym they just added.
- 52:30At Hammock they. Dude, you will not believe it.
- 52:33They just added $200,000 worth of equipment and it was already
- 52:37nice. 15 years ago. And that that's not they built a
- 52:41that was the old gym. They closed that downturn that
- 52:43into a Community Center and we built 15000 square foot.
- 52:47What now? The 5000 square foot when they
- 52:49took it, opened up the old gym and made it more of a cardio
- 52:53room and different more of machine stuff.
- 52:55This other room right now, dude, I'll put this up against any gym
- 52:59in any community subdivision on the planet.
- 53:02It is. Absolutely 5000 square foot gym
- 53:06we've got. 7500 square feet of gym in our neighborhood with two
- 53:10between the two gyms. Yeah.
- 53:12So yeah, there's no excuse anymore.
- 53:14They've got everything. I like some of the machine stuff
- 53:16they have now. It's the weight loaded stuff
- 53:18too, but really nice weight loaded stuff.
- 53:20So it's good and they got some good the cable crossover
- 53:23machines which I hadn't had. You have you have like sauna,
- 53:27steam room, pool, any of that stuff.
- 53:29Nah, yeah, this isn't the executive place, right?
- 53:31You know what I mean? Now we've got swimming pools.
- 53:33We got five swimming pools Outback.
- 53:35Yes, there's plenty of swimming pool there's.
- 53:36But you know, what we need is a I'd love to have a sauna or
- 53:40steam room that is. We don't have that.
- 53:42It's kind of strange that's got showers and all that other
- 53:44stuff. I mean, when I went to my, my
- 53:46favorite of all time was Downtown Y in Nashville, which
- 53:49was great. I mean, I met all kinds of cool
- 53:51people. They had that steam room.
- 53:52It had the steam room, the sauna, the the every kind of
- 53:55court you could imagine. The Olympics, you know, the long
- 53:57lap pool all at on the roof had a pool.
- 54:00They had, you know, hot tubs. They didn't have the this was
- 54:02before the cold plunge era, but I'm sure they have those now.
- 54:04But you know, a real up gym to me is like, you know, because I
- 54:09like to work out and play ball. I I like it all really.
- 54:11I need a pool. I need a basketball court.
- 54:14You know, I like, I need weight room, I'd like in a sauna in the
- 54:18steam room or at least one of the two, preferably both.
- 54:20You can alternate and then a, a pool to get in to cool off.
- 54:24And then, you know, I mean, ideally.
- 54:26And then now with the cold plunge thing, that's that's a
- 54:28nice option for people too. And I know, like we played the
- 54:32Atmore, the casino up and Atmore recently and their their workout
- 54:37facilities. They have the cold plunge next
- 54:39to like the steam room and stuff.
- 54:41I thought that. Would be yeah, My wife doesn't.
- 54:43My wife has a pool. It has a lap pool.
- 54:45It has a regular swimming pool, too.
- 54:48Summer camps are going on, though, right now.
- 54:50So like, I can't. Yeah.
- 54:52So like it's not usable. It's just.
- 54:54On the weekends and all, yeah. Do they provide you with towels
- 54:57at your at your gym? They don't.
- 55:00No, they most don't downtown. Why all the stags?
- 55:03There was a guy just steadily folding these mounds of on this
- 55:06on this table of towels. You get there with a good.
- 55:09Job just for that guy. Yes, you just load the bins up
- 55:12taking them and fill doing lots of stuff, but you all but you
- 55:14can use as many as you. Nice when I lived.
- 55:17There, that's nice though. I love, I love it.
- 55:20Like go working out in a hotel gym.
- 55:22They have the towels there, they have the water.
- 55:26The machine actually works like a rare occurrence when this
- 55:30actually all happens, but it's it's happened to me lately it's
- 55:33worked out really good mine. I love that he.
- 55:37Yeah, I'm saying mine here. We have the Bodenhammer Center
- 55:39here in Gulf Shores where I live now.
- 55:41It's not, we don't have HOA here.
- 55:43So it's not you have to pay, but it's only like 300 bucks a year
- 55:47for both for a couple, you know. So it's.
- 55:49That's fantastic. I do that in a heartbeat.
- 55:52I do that right now and the. Y it's got an expensive, it's
- 55:55got a nice no and it's got a nice pool inside indoor pool and
- 55:59it's not heated, but it usually stays a good temperature and
- 56:03it's got a Rockwall on one side you can climb and stuff.
- 56:05Oh. That's.
- 56:06Pretty fancy, but it does. It has the sauna only, not steam
- 56:10room and doesn't have a cold plunge.
- 56:12But it's got the basketball court.
- 56:14It's got a lot of tennis courts, outdoor stuff, but big weight
- 56:17room. They just did a couple
- 56:20$1,000,000 upgrade and actually going back to the downtown Y
- 56:23Nashville before I left right at the end when I was living in
- 56:27Nashville in 2014 fifteen they had done like a 20 something
- 56:31thousand million dollar remodel on that downtown and made it
- 56:34even more sweet than it was before.
- 56:37A lot of upgrades on it but but a nice gym is nice to have.
- 56:41But Blasey's but yours is part of your HOA so you don't have to
- 56:44pay. Absolutely.
- 56:45It's all included. You know, it's pretty crazy
- 56:47people. Some people complain.
- 56:48I've been here for a long time, this neighborhood, watch it grow
- 56:50and watch it, you know, just prosper.
- 56:52And Brantley was here when the 1st that gym got me started on a
- 56:56weight loss journey. I think I'd be dead right now if
- 56:59it wasn't for that gym, to be honest, right here.
- 57:02There's no excuse not to go. I'm, I'm leaving the
- 57:04neighborhood. I drive by it, it's right there.
- 57:05Just pull in there. And so now it's, it's great to
- 57:08have. Dude, listen, our HOA dudes are
- 57:10unbelievable. We have we, we pay $162.00 a
- 57:12month and that includes that hasn't.
- 57:15Gone up that much? It has not.
- 57:17You know, his goal was to try to keep it at 100.
- 57:19Just unfortunately it's just, it's impossible today with this
- 57:22economy, right? But it's 100 and that includes
- 57:25DIRECTV and all your HOA dues with includes all the amenities,
- 57:29the gym and the pools and the tennis courts and the pickleball
- 57:32courts and the basketball courts and the, you know, just the
- 57:34whole neighborhood, you know what I mean?
- 57:35There's all kind of stuff right here.
- 57:36So dude, you can't beat it. It's not the best, I mean that
- 57:40that DIRECTV package is 130 bucks by itself.
- 57:44You know, wow, so everybody now they they quit that crappy ass
- 57:47cable company that was there. What was?
- 57:49Yeah, yeah, that joke of a company.
- 57:52So now everybody, they provide the satellite, the little
- 57:55dishes. And they kept into the hardwired
- 57:57system. So it's DIRECTV, but you don't
- 57:59have satellites on your house? It's in.
- 58:01I love it. They've got it.
- 58:02Wow, I didn't understand how they do it.
- 58:03It's almost the main center. And then they distributed.
- 58:05Somebody told Jay, look, we got to get this thing fixed, man.
- 58:09There's too many. There's too many people out
- 58:11here. It was whenever I lived there,
- 58:13Handler, it was there was probably, I'd say less than 200
- 58:17people out there. Yeah.
- 58:19Well, when you say 202 hundred occupied houses, probably less
- 58:23than houses probably 100. 200 and. 50 people maybe, maybe
- 58:28total three or four and there's what do you, what would you say
- 58:30is out there now? 10,000, the population, it's
- 58:33close to that, yeah. It's like, I'm going to say like
- 58:368500, yeah, in this area. Yeah.
- 58:39It's, yeah, it's still growing, yeah.
- 58:41Paul says he's been exercising as much as possible without
- 58:44access to a gym. Paul, been seeing what you've
- 58:47been doing online, brother. You keep that up, dude.

- 59:23some. They have these cool machines
- 59:25that I have to get this wristband for, but it's all like
- 59:28E machines and it walks you through it and you go these it's
- 59:32kind of like you're playing a game.
- 59:34What's a resist? I've watched a couple of people.
- 59:36I've never done one of those, so I'm going to do some of that.
- 59:38That looks kind of fun. You know, just so.
- 59:41I may end up as getting flat out ripped by the end of this deal.
- 59:45It'll be you'll just be just I hate Speaking of RIP Brantley.

- 1:01:26Charisse we, we had, we were going to cook.
- 1:01:27We cooked last two nights and I was like, let's just go to the
- 1:01:30Sloop. I don't even want to deal with
- 1:01:31They got good options. Let's just go down there,
- 1:01:33support the local business, you know what I mean?
- 1:01:36And then I saw my buddy Smokey Otis, entertainer from down here
- 1:01:40who's who's great man. I love his stuff.

- 1:02:00So I've never seen him do a two piece thing like that.
- 1:02:03So I was like, I got to get back down there and catch a piece of
- 1:02:06that, but I still got to pack, already checked in my flight and
- 1:02:10I got to stop by a job tomorrow my way out of town.
- 1:02:11I got to fly to Nebraska tomorrow to do a show.
- 1:02:14Yeah, I was going to ask where you where?
- 1:02:16Where's it at this? Weekend.
- 1:02:18No, not Nebraska, sorry. That's next week.
- 1:02:20This week I'm going to Goodhue, Minnesota, going to the Goodhue
- 1:02:24Minnesota Volks Fest, Country Festival up in Minnesota.
- 1:02:28So I'm going to think I'm actually going to.
- 1:02:30Weather ought to be Weather ought to be all right up there
- 1:02:33for that. You know, it's early.
- 1:02:35It's June, so hopefully not too too too crazy hot.
- 1:02:41Yeah, hopefully no, hopefully no rain.
- 1:02:43You know, we get the show in and.
- 1:02:45Do y'all if it rains? So I saw this.
- 1:02:47This is a a question I do have for you because I saw this clip
- 1:02:51the other day of Metallica huge Metallica guy.
- 1:02:54They're playing this show in Germany and it's just it's
- 1:02:57storming. It's rain wasn't the light.
- 1:02:59The storm had passed the you know, it was just lightning off
- 1:03:03in the distance, but it was still raining.
- 1:03:06Can they play? And they were playing with all
- 1:03:08their instruments and drums, like when they would hit the
- 1:03:10cymbal, it was crashing off and all.
- 1:03:13Like, I mean, can they play all those instruments in in rain?
- 1:03:17Yeah, to an extent. Yeah.
- 1:03:19The thing, the thing with storms is, is, is wind rating and
- 1:03:22lightning. If lightning's within X amount
- 1:03:24of miles, whatever the insurance policy is on the building and
- 1:03:27the and the crowd and audience, you have to do certain things.
- 1:03:31If it's within 7 miles or five miles, you have to evacuate,
- 1:03:35wait 30 minutes to the last strike and then bring everybody
- 1:03:37back. Or if the wind rating is above,
- 1:03:40if the wind is going to be more than the stage and the the
- 1:03:43awning and all that's rated for then.
- 1:03:45You got to get well, how did Metallica just.
- 1:03:47They just kept, well, that's what we were saying.
- 1:03:48Well, it must, it must, you know, and it could be a
- 1:03:51different country. I don't know.
- 1:03:52They were in Germany. They were in Germany.
- 1:03:54They could have said we'll take the liability if something
- 1:03:56happens, or it could have been there was no lightning in the
- 1:03:58wind was if it's just rain, they'll play.
- 1:04:00Yeah, you can play and rain all day.
- 1:04:01It was lightning. Over the overhead.
- 1:04:03Until you ruined gear, until gear starts malfunctioning.
- 1:04:06Like, you have to immediately get all that gear clean.
- 1:04:08You're going to ruin some mics. You're going to get some stuff
- 1:04:10wet. You're going to have to be doing
- 1:04:11some some moisture mitigation as soon as, as soon, as, as soon as
- 1:04:16the show's over. But you can play and rain until
- 1:04:18something craps out or get struck.
- 1:04:20But everything should be grounded.
- 1:04:21You should be good. Yeah, Yeah, All right.
- 1:04:23What are you 2 giggling about with?
- 1:04:25This son of a bitch, I'm gonna do it.
- 1:04:28Are you? Really.
- 1:04:29Yeah, I'm gonna do it. This is so.
- 1:04:30Hey, can I? Yeah.

- 1:05:12into bubble of love sponge. Like we're just sitting there on
- 1:05:14the couch, he said. Watch this and he started doing
- 1:05:17like the side profile. I was taking his pictures and I
- 1:05:19was like, dude, you look just like Bubba.
- 1:05:21How did you just morph into Bubba right here on the spot?

- 1:06:55Not not Eric Andre this thing. Let me reel it back.
- 1:06:59Hey, let's we're diving this to another day.
- 1:07:00I know DJ always got to get going, but that Aston Forbes
- 1:07:03deal with Alex Stein on Malaysian Airlines flight 370
- 1:07:07guys, I mean it sounded like a funny ha ha until he got on
- 1:07:10there and laid stuff out like briefly please.
- 1:07:13Please. Do tell dude, he's got this,
- 1:07:16this all right? You know, he's got some footage.
- 1:07:20He he rolls out and it's heat. What what, what do you call
- 1:07:24that? The heat you know it shows like
- 1:07:26the heat sensor footage. Yeah, like heat data like like
- 1:07:29from the satellite. Yeah, it's thermal, green
- 1:07:32thermal. Thank you.
- 1:07:33Thermal imaging of the flight, allegedly of the plane flying
- 1:07:36through. And there was these three orbs
- 1:07:38that surrounded it. And he's like he, he challenges
- 1:07:40any scientist to like debunk this.
- 1:07:42And he was like, please, please come forward.
- 1:07:44And nobody has and these three orbs are around the front of the
- 1:07:47plane and there's this thermal imaging and suddenly they
- 1:07:50tighten, they tighten, they tighten.
- 1:07:51And then this circular thing that just comes open and they go
- 1:07:55through what he thinks is like it actually, you know, just a, a
- 1:08:02portal that takes them to somewhere else, not to another
- 1:08:06dimension in time, but just like a what do you call that like a
- 1:08:11hyperlink where you. Like a portal?
- 1:08:15Or yeah, portal to travel like from here to San Francisco
- 1:08:18really fast. What?
- 1:08:19Would you call that like, you know what I mean?
- 1:08:21You go to a. They've been transponded.
- 1:08:24They've been. Teleported.
- 1:08:26Teleported. There it is.
- 1:08:27Thank you. Sorry I'm not an I just saw this
- 1:08:29today and was looking at it. So it that flight teleported to
- 1:08:33this base somewhere off of like South of Asia and there's this
- 1:08:39eight dude, he's got all this data on this and and like the
- 1:08:41cell phone records, all people's cell phones kept ringing for
- 1:08:44four days later. And it's like, why were they
- 1:08:47still ringing if they had plunged into the Gulf?
- 1:08:50But dude, this footage is pretty wild to watch.
- 1:08:52This plane just go, this black hole and this whole go and it
- 1:08:56just closes and this plane's gone.
- 1:08:58And this is on Alex Stein. Like he did this?
- 1:09:02Last night or tonight? When?
- 1:09:03Was No, it was, it was last night, I believe, OK.
- 1:09:07And what was the guy's name? Again, his name is Ashton
- 1:09:09Forbes. All right, dude, yeah, he's got
- 1:09:12pretty crazy. I mean, it's too smart.
- 1:09:13He's not dumb, but it's it's pretty, it's pretty far fetched.
- 1:09:16Now let's let's be real. But it's, he's pretty dialed in.
- 1:09:20It's not, it's not me up there arguing it, right?
- 1:09:22You know, like I just tried to do.
- 1:09:24What do you call that? You know, black hole,
- 1:09:28telescoping, whatever, teleporting.
- 1:09:30You know what I'm talking about. All right.
- 1:09:34Boy, anyway, Jr., you got to get out of here, buddy.
- 1:09:37Yep, Yep, let's get out of here fellas.
