311 Day, Haunted Hotels & The Super Chat Loophole! · Tigs Bits Podcast

Going to clip the part where you said Libby is right and I'm just
0:12
that ever and ever absolutely should.
0:17
And that's why we read it. Yeah, OK.
0:18
Because Libby was correct all time.
0:20
I had AI, had AI, had a Tim is it might be wrong.
0:23
Bubba was right today in the green room earlier I.
0:27
Hope it's on tape because. Well, no, there was no tape.
0:29
There's no tape of it. We were recording, but was it
0:31
before the recording? It might have been during the
0:33
recording was during the talking about the tip situation and you
0:36
said you may be correct if you were talking in the context that
0:39
I was. Speaking about this is actually
0:40
important. No tax on tips probably brought
0:43
up means super chats may be tax exempt.
0:46
Right. And I said.
0:49
However, yeah, it's a so a gratuity is, you know, we know
0:54
what it is. It's a self-explanatory, it's
0:55
money after the fact, right? You're not getting anything for
0:58
doing it. However, for us with super
1:01
chats, there is an expectation, a probability that we read what
1:05
you have to say, right. So if you're watching right now
1:07
and you put in a super chat, the expectation is Tim is going to
1:11
be reading the Super chats and I'm basically paying for that
1:15
that. To to occur that real estate.
1:17
That's not that, That's not a tip, right?
1:18
However, you pointed out for your show, when you do Super
1:21
Jets, you don't read any messages, you say thank you.
1:24
To Jim McGill, thank you. Yeah.
1:26
That is a tip. They're giving you money with no
1:28
expectation of what's called legal consideration, right?
1:31
Meaning you're tax exempt on all that.
1:33
So I'm looking forward to that if I hope it goes through
1:35
that's. Really interesting that opens
1:37
the door to a lot people. You don't understand.
1:38
Yeah. I mean, a lot of people in the
1:40
content industry, I mean, you know, a lot.
1:42
A lot. It's crazy how Democrats somehow
1:45
are against taxes on tips because they you had AOC saying
1:48
that that means that every job would become a tip based.
1:52
Great. Yeah.
1:54
That means pay what you will. Yeah.
1:56
And think about how that would work.
1:57
I say, hey, if you want to watch our members only show, it's
2:01
free. Just leave a tip.
2:02
And if you don't, we won't do it again.
2:04
Right. So it's like, I mean, no taxes.
2:07
Right. I mean, you know, you can get
2:08
creative on that. Yeah, it's almost like you ties.
2:11
Yeah, we'll do the uncensored ties to the Tim cast.
2:14
Yeah. And then and then what we do is
2:16
we say like nobody has to give us money, but if we don't make
2:20
any money doing it from tips, we're not going to do it again.
2:22
Right, we're not going to be around.
2:23
Yeah, and, and and look, we know that servers rely on tips for
2:26
their income. So you are allowed to rely on
2:28
tips for your income so long as nothing of value is given in
2:32
exchange. Right.
2:33
Other than service, No, no, no, no, no.
2:35
I mean like as far as a server they're just serving.
2:38
So tips come after the service is already completed.
2:40
That's what I meant. I mean, as far as they're
2:42
tipping you, I guess on, on how well you did your job
2:45
potentially. It's just extra money.
2:47
Have fun, right? There you go.
2:49
Freebies. Yeah.
2:49
And anyway, I had AI had a Tim moment like you had just a
2:53
minute ago. Libby, let your clip and I just
2:55
don't know if I can clip it or not.
2:56
No, I, I no, that, that we recorded that.
2:58
That's on the Green Room show, yeah.
3:00
At least we got to start the show with a little Bubba.
3:03
Tonight, man, that's awesome that he's on.
3:05
You know, he's there with Tim Poole.
3:07
On. On.
3:09
Was it pool cast? Tim cast.
3:11
Yeah. Pool in real Tim?
3:12
Pool in real life IRL. Yeah man, Tim has two channels.
3:19
The channel he's on tonight has a a meager 2.29 million
3:24
followers and then the other one that just his regular one, I
3:28
think it's just Tim Poole cast or Tim cast.
3:32
It has like 1.9 million. So I mean this dude's got 4
3:35
million. That's just on YouTube.
3:38
Yeah, he's just barely getting by as we were just watching the
3:43
video. Great studio, multiple cameras,
3:46
great Co host, beautiful room. Is a glorious.
3:50
Room, one of those, I mean, it looks like a Joe Rogan studio.
3:54
Obviously I'm not, I don't watch that show.
3:57
I'm, you know, I'm not, I'm, I'm not that I'm not a fan.
4:01
It seems interesting. I like the little Tigs bit that
4:04
he just left us about treadmills being torture devices.
4:09
Never knew that I did. Not either.
4:11
So learn something, learn something diving in.
4:13
So that's a lot of fun. But but boys, let's kind of dive
4:18
into stuff. First of all, as we are
4:20
recording this happy 311 day, you know, I think this is.
4:24
Happy 311. Yeah, man.
4:26
It's my holiday baby. I got green on right behind me.
4:31
Big 311 like. A weatherman.
4:33
Yeah. So I got to give a shout out to
4:34
my friend RIP Allison Hinton Odom, who made that for me,
4:42
painted that. And she's sweet.
4:45
She would be pumped. And I would have gotten a text
4:47
from her today. But yeah, this is a holiday for
4:51
me. Obviously.
4:54
It's the. I mean, what other band has
4:57
their own holiday, their own day base into their?
5:01
Their name is the day. Hey, their name.
5:03
Is the day. I thought about this earlier,
5:05
just for someone who's been under a rock for the past 30
5:08
years, if I landed in a in a spacecraft and got out and said
5:13
on today and said you told me happy 311 day.
5:16
I said, what is 311? You said it's a band.
5:19
What kind of band? What would you?
5:21
What would you be your quick description of 311 to someone?
5:25
Who elevator heard of elevator pitch for 311?
5:27
I know I would not on the spot. Right on the spot, right on the
5:31
spot. I mean, they're they're funk
5:32
reggae band. I would, I would say funk, rock,
5:37
rap, reggae number one. So they're a blend of music.
5:42
Fusion. A funk rap, fusion.
5:44
Fusion band? What era?
5:45
What? What year did they come out?
5:47
What was their best thing? They came out and I think 1989
5:53
was actually the year that they formed, but 90s kind of what
5:56
they really go by that if you listen today, and I think it'll
6:02
probably continue on. All of their albums have this
6:04
blue tint over them, everything. They've put a filter on Apple
6:09
and on Spotify with all of their stuff and they have this website
6:13
that's coming out that is out now.
6:15
It's blue.three11.com I think is what it is.
6:19
All in that is in celebration of their 1995 album, 311
6:25
self-titled album, the Blue Album, as fans refer to it as
6:30
so. So that's a that's huge.
6:31
That's where you got all mixed up down.
6:36
You know, their biggest hits 959697 all of those things
6:42
really going on in the mid 90s is is their heyday into the to
6:46
the early 2000s, you know where they were charting and all of
6:51
that stuff. Of course, that all LED up to I
6:54
guess was it 2001? I think is whenever the wasn't
6:58
it 51st dates was the movie where Amber was the one of the
7:06
songs that was in that soundtrack because it wasn't.
7:09
Well, I guess it was officially on an album at some point, but
7:12
that was a song that was for, you know, that's really where
7:15
where people discovered that. One when they took off.
7:18
That's when they they, they. They had taken off.
7:22
I guess that was their last. That was their crescendo of like
7:25
they they went from, you know, a post grunge funk metal band that
7:31
really before Limp Bizkit, before Linkin Park, before that
7:36
kind of style and genre of music, they started to take off
7:40
and but whenever they hit that, that was their pop success.
7:43
Well, they got they got that mailbox money.
7:45
I got that big screen money that way.
7:47
We're good now. They'll be able to tour and do
7:50
what they're doing for the rest of their lives because of that
7:54
one song. Now where are they out of again?
7:57
They're out of Omaha, NE. That's where they all, that's
8:00
where it started. But I think that they, most of
8:02
them live in LA now. Maybe not all of them.
8:05
I don't think Chad Sexton, the drummer, I don't think he lives
8:08
in LA, but most of them live out in LA now.
8:11
And have a while so they had their self-titled debut album in
8:15
95. They rose quickly had a had had
8:19
a big a lot of success and then a big song on a movie to towards
8:23
the tail end of their their big run they had and they're still
8:26
obviously touring some now were they did they have in this a lot
8:31
of people may or may not remember this a lot of our
8:34
younger audience all of us will. But MTV was the precursor to
8:38
YouTube now used to you watched MTVCMT.
8:43
There's a couple others like that VH1 that's where you
8:45
watched Vt videos. Be a BET you watch the music
8:49
videos on those channels because they stream music all day long.
8:53
Like different programs, like they have a VJA video disc
8:56
jockey that would play different stuff.
8:59
So they were in in that era still, they had big videos.
9:02
I remember some of those videos. They had some videos.
9:05
It was. They were.
9:05
Huge. They were huge.
9:06
And all those beach bashes, Panama City stuff.
9:10
Yeah, you know, And honestly, back then, I'm not going to lie,
9:15
I mean, I like their songs all mixed up and down.
9:19
Whenever I heard them, the first, you know, 150 times, I
9:23
loved them. But then at some point I just
9:25
kind of got tired of their ass playing all the time, I'm not
9:28
going to lie. And then because of that,
9:30
because of the MTV and all of that beach party stuff, I just
9:33
started to associate them with frat with a, with frat boys,
9:38
frat guys. And I'm like, you know,
9:41
whatever, just I would call it, you know what I mean?
9:44
I'm not going to lie, Dumb rock, like that's, you know, mindless
9:49
dumb stuff. I had no idea though.
9:51
I never, I never had any of their albums or anything like
9:54
that. I didn't jump on to them and
9:56
probably 2006 or so, like I missed the initial wave with
10:03
them. I didn't hear any of that stuff.
10:05
And then I I hanging around my buddies, my buddy Chad at Gator
10:10
Millworks, Chad and Tom Chopin, and they were they listen to 311
10:16
all the time. No bigger fan of 311 and Chad
10:19
Foster period. And y'all, I wish I had AI, wish
10:23
I had the picture. I do have a picture, but I don't
10:25
have it all to where I can pull it up right now and show y'all.
10:28
But he has drums that he's bought from the band, the yellow
10:33
drums that were in a lot of the original, original videos from
10:37
that that era. He has the set, he has the kit.
10:40
One night we tried to put them all together because they were
10:43
like mailed in crates and stuff. You know how that is Jr.
10:46
whenever you mail musical instruments.
10:50
We didn't know what we were doing.
10:52
Now they run a cabinet shop. So they're way more mechanically
10:56
inclined to put something together like that than I am for
10:59
sure. We couldn't get it together, but
11:02
he a lot. Of drum heads a.
11:03
Lot of drum heads, a lot of stuff, just things at bases that
11:07
you have to. Where do you put the symbols?
11:08
And he has a pretty extensive kit too, with multiple all, I
11:15
don't know what all they're called.
11:16
I'm not a drummer, but cool kit. He got like Mesa Boogie tube
11:22
amps and stuff, stuff that they used to tour with.
11:25
Like he he, he knows. He knows them.
11:28
He knows. Nick, he's a fan, so.
11:30
He's a fan but he he's a fan but he also a friend too like.
11:33
He, you know, collector, Yeah. Yeah.
11:36
And he's got the means to do it because of having success with
11:39
his. Company got the means to do it.
11:40
Yeah. And I'll tell you what, though,
11:43
sure, I've been sure fortunate I've been able to go along with
11:46
him on some of these runs and go to Atlanta.
11:49
Go to. We've gone one of the funnest
11:51
trips ever seeing them at Aaron's Amphitheatre in Atlanta.
11:55
And I started, I thought about this today.
11:57
Back then when I saw him, it was late 2000s, 2007, 8-9, somewhere
12:04
in there, maybe 11, some somewhere in there.
12:07
And back then, not everybody's cell phones had lights.
12:10
People still use, they have like a, you know, they have a couple
12:13
of slow songs. Everybody's still held up
12:16
lighters. You don't see that people don't
12:19
hold up lighters anymore. You don't see lighters in in
12:22
places anymore. Now you just like the cell
12:24
phone, which I think kind of actually looks cooler.
12:28
You can true you've I know you've seen it.
12:30
Jr. at a Justin Moore deal with the audience will pull up their
12:35
phones. It almost will light the stage
12:37
up with everybody's lights. You know it'll light it up.
12:41
It it's just, it's crazy, but. I remember when I had the IT was
12:47
AT mobile phone that they came out with.
12:49
It's right when iPhone was coming out and they came out
12:51
with their phone and it was the first one of the smartphones.
12:54
It was an Android and it had a lighter app and you would you
12:58
would hit it and it would actually look like a lighter
13:00
being lit and you could move it right and the flame.
13:03
Would be the flame would move. I remember that.
13:05
Unbelievable. Yeah, That that that was so cool
13:08
because I was like, oh, we don't have to light a lighter to
13:09
concert anymore. We could just hold this up.
13:12
Yeah, yeah, I bet a lot of people, I bet a lot of people at
13:14
the 311 concerts had a lighter in their pocket anyway.
13:17
You most still do, yeah. Inventions seem to have taken
13:23
some of that stuff away along with the way that music is.
13:27
But you still need you still need the essentials forever.
13:29
How what things that you need on a daily basis.
13:32
Well, that's awesome. And and I hope anyone out there
13:35
that doesn't know about 311 or didn't know how special 311 is
13:38
to Tigs and and his people and we all enjoy the band as well.
13:42
Go check them out. They've got some great records.
13:44
It's a cool jams. Check that out when you get a
13:46
chance. I've got to move over before I
13:48
forget about it and just comment on this because we didn't have
13:51
to before we got on the show or once we started rolling.
13:55
Blasey, are you coming to us from an anonymous room at the
13:57
White House or something? Where are you?
14:00
Are you coming to us from Let Me blow this up.
14:02
Yeah, I am. I'm supposed.
14:03
Presidential. Today.
14:04
Yeah, Trump's supposed to be meeting with me.
14:06
I've got about 30 more minutes, guys.
14:07
I'm going to have to hop off here.
14:08
We have a hard stop here, you know, at about 9:30.
14:11
So yeah, no, I'm actually in the oldest city in the United States
14:16
right now, at an extremely old hotel.
14:19
I am in lovely St. Augustine, FL.
14:21
That's where I thought you were going to say.
14:23
That's exactly where I'm at. I'm at the Casa Monica Hotel,
14:25
and interestingly enough, yesterday you text us about,
14:29

14:31
little bit. Sounds great.
14:32
It's 311. I check in, I get to my room.
14:35
I'd already said OK, thumbs up. And then I realized my room
14:39
number was 311. Let's go, baby.
14:43
Let's go good old 311 here at the Casa Monica Hotel downtown

14:56
And they have a we, we get there about every other year.
14:59
They have the Saint Augustine amp.
15:01
They have an amphitheater there that is one of the top, top
15:03
amphitheaters in the country. Every band wants to play there.
15:06
They have a Yep, Yep. Great amphitheater there.
15:08
And it's just a glacier. It's a cool town.
15:10
It's got a great vibe. It's got that old school feel.
15:12
It's old Florida. It's yeah, Atlantic Coast.
15:16
I love it, man. That's awesome.
15:17
Somebody and that those drapes behind you with that with that

15:23
It really, really does, Brian Gilson says.
15:26
Is is Blasey in the Oval Office? It looks like the Oval Office.
15:29
We need to get Blasey one of those old school parliament wigs
15:33
on. And.
15:36
Let him do us a you know the address of the Bubba Nation from
15:40
the. From the rectangular office.
15:43
I'm gonna tell you something about these curtains.
15:45
So as you can see, you've got the main drapes over here,
15:47
right, the big boys and you got the thin drapes here.
15:50
And there's actually another set of windows right here.
15:51
I'm I got this little kind of jut out my room.
15:53
There's a street right here overlooking like I can see
15:57
Flagler College now right through that window, that big
16:01
crazy building. So I got in yesterday about 330I
16:07
check into my room. I set everything down.
16:09
I come in here, I actually open up.
16:11
These were open. I open them up and I take a
16:14
picture in the window sill of this car to send to you guys.
16:18
I go downstairs for a few minutes, I work on some stuff,
16:20
and I come back. Dude, these curtains were drawn
16:24
closed on both sides, and I got a little wigged out.
16:28
I mean, like the hair stood up on my neck.
16:30
I was living in the bed. I was like, wait, I know those
16:33
were open when I left. And you know, this is 311, 4:11
16:39
and 5:11. You can go Google this stuff.
16:41
The room above me and the one above me before that, which I've
16:44
stayed there before, wigged Amanda and I out completely, are
16:48
the most haunted rooms here. Well, great.
16:51
Yeah. So this.
16:52
Yeah. So I don't know what I mean.
16:53
You know, it's like I have. To go.
16:54
Downstairs and ask them. I said anyone have been in my
16:56
room and they were like, excuse me.
16:58
I was like my my curtains. I'm very positive they were open
17:02
because I took a picture. I even opened them up so I could
17:05
take the picture. You know, I was like, I left
17:07
them open. Did anybody go in my room?
17:08
They kept looking at it like I had three heads, you know?
17:10
I was like, no. Way.
17:11
Yeah, so, I swear. So, yeah.
17:14
So. I don't know, man, but
17:15
everything was fine. I slept like a baby last night.
17:17
There was no monsters came flying in here.
17:19
I mean, it wasn't anything crazy, but that really freaked
17:21
me out, man. With those, I guess.
17:23
Yeah. You can Google it, though.
17:26
Casa Monica Hotel room 411 and 511, up and up.
17:31
Now add 311 on that 311 on 311. Add to the the register there.
17:37
That's right. That's right.
17:38
Yep. Wow, wow, that is crazy dude
17:41
that. Is and wait.
17:42
Now spin that back on you Jr. That's what I was about to.
17:47
Do. Where are you, dude?
17:48
I mean, what is going on there? Yeah, let me.
17:51
See if I've got my billion actually in billionaire. 31

Haw shirt on and my American Country Countdown bought with
18:08
Bob Kingsley hat on. Yeah, you do.
18:10
I am in Central Arkansas. I'm at Justin's Justin Moore's
18:14
Home Office slash studio in his pool house.
18:21
So yeah, I came in here. I knew you had his stuff in here
18:25
and over here in the corner is still a microphone setup from
18:29
where I sat there two years ago. We recorded podcast the Guitar.
18:32
He used to play a song on that. He sat down there and he's got
18:36
his other stuff up here and I hope I'm trying to be very
18:38
gentle with it because he records his media stuff that he
18:42
has to do for tour and his morning radio show that he does
18:46
in Little Rock on the Buzz. I'm trying not to mess it up
18:51
because I know he's going to want to come in here and do a
18:52
show and I don't want to rearrange anything because it's
18:54
hard. Neither he nor I are very
18:56
technically inclined on that. You.
18:58
Got everything just like he needs it.
18:59
Are you? Yeah.
19:01
Are you using his computer to do this?
19:04
No, I'm on my computer. I'm on my computer and my power
19:07
cable because I think that's all he brings in.
19:09
His computer is in his backpack like mine was.
19:12
But he has the he has the over here Blacy.
19:16
He's got the bigger version of my.
19:20
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
19:22
So it's got more and he's got the same mic set up as I and I
19:25
think I ordered us these. I know I did.
19:28
I ordered us these mic stands. He's got the same mic.
19:30
That looks really nice. Yeah, those are those are Rogan
19:33
like stands. Yep, same.
19:35
Like I got smart cheap, you know and, but so luckily we were here
19:40
today and I was going to get stuff out and try to do it from
19:42
the bus, but we have the generator on.
19:43
Then I was going to try to find a quiet place in the house, but
19:47
I thought, man, he's already got the stuff up here.
19:48
He's got the light, you know, I just.
19:51
I just do got everything you need right right there.
19:54
Shout out to Elon Musk. He got Justin during our whole
19:57
podcast for A and all that the the all the episodes we did, we
20:02
were marred with technical problems, mostly due to his poor
20:06
Internet out here and he lives out in the country.
20:08
There was only one provider. It was just you know, you
20:11
something lag. Sometimes it was good, sometimes
20:13
it wasn't. Towards the end and now he has
20:16
Starlink thanks to Elon and his company and no political nothing
20:21
on that. I'm just a Starlink fan.
20:23
It works. That is a great idea and it
20:25
works amazingly. So they have it out here in the
20:27
sticks now and he's rocking. I got here today and was doing
20:30
some stuff out by the pool, just walking around and realize, man,
20:33
I'm on the House Wi-Fi. So Oh yeah, they got Starlink so
20:36
it's rocking. So now I once I realized put all
20:41
together, I said I'm just going to do it up here instead of
20:42
trying to do it off the bus or something.
20:44
So perfect. Isn't it unfortunate that you
20:47
have to preface things like that now just simply because somehow
20:51
or another, Elon Musk has found his way from just being a dude
20:54
on Twitter with the electric cars and it's unbelievable he's
20:59
now right up there at the top. Well, Elon and electric cars and
21:03
all that a year ago were and I'm I'm always tell I'm right in the
21:06
middle on everything. I just I'm common sense.
21:08
I'm in the middle on stuff. I don't really pick sides on all
21:11
that. I'm not educated enough on most
21:14
of that to have an opinion. I know what I comment on what I
21:16
know. Usually only yeah, which is
21:18
smart. But from what I've noticed
21:20
though, as as an observational point here, up until Elon
21:26
started helping the now President Trump, that was a left
21:31
thing. Everybody was progressive.
21:33
People wanted EVs and they were all, they loved Elon and all of
21:36
his ideas stuff. As soon as that switch, now
21:38
they're shooting up Tesla stores and it's your redneck if you
21:42
drive a Tesla. I'm like, well, what happened
21:44
here? Exactly.
21:45
We just heard Bubba and Tim Poole talking about that.
21:49
Exactly. It's insane that that this is,
21:52
you know, you know. It's crazy, it's crazy.
21:55
And whatever people say his motivation is, it's not money
21:59
because soon as you do what he's doing, which I think he's just
22:01
talking about common sense stuff.
22:03
I don't even think this is political.
22:04
I really don't. This is where I don't think it's
22:06
political. It's common sense.
22:07
He knew he was going to lose probably half of his probably
22:10
more than half his customer base because most of his customer
22:13
base was they they did team tend to lean a little bit left right.
22:17
Same thing with Trump ran for office used to everybody loved
22:20
Trump and he talked about that. You know what I mean?
22:21
He was like Donald Trump. He was just a showcase and loved
22:24
by both sides. And he knew immediately when he
22:26
happened, he was going by half the country he was going to cut
22:28
off. And so, you know, you could say
22:30
what the motivation is, whether it be power or whatever you talk
22:32
about that when it comes to money, they hey, what he's doing
22:37
has nothing to do with money and has to do with what I believe is
22:40
his true belief. And it's been the same from the
22:42
beginning. Nothing's changed.
22:43
So, and that has nothing to do with with politics.
22:46
That's just fact. I think I.
22:47
Don't know. It's kind of got a lot to do
22:49
with money. He's getting rid of a bunch of
22:50
things, but it's a good it. Is yeah, I think yeah, but it's
22:53
not, it's not yeah, it's not a money motivating thing for him
22:57
to. Not for him, not more money I.
22:58
Think I think it's more of more of the with with great power
23:02
comes great responsibility. And they know, they know that
23:04
and know that they need to try to do something good and this
23:07
life for their children, their children's children and their
23:09
fellow man and and human race to try to help this rock sustain as
23:15
long as it can in the best hands it can and leave it better than
23:18
you found it kind of deal. And I really think that and I
23:21
even think Trump this round to me personally is that way too.
23:26
I think he I think he saw he he did it off of the political, you
23:30
know, off the big run. He had a popularity the first
23:32
time we were in trouble. The second time he realized how
23:35
bad it really was. And he came back and like you
23:37
said, double down on the, you know, people are going to say
23:40
whatever, but I got to do it. What if I get a chance?
23:42
And then after getting shot at, I really believe he thinks I,
23:45
you know, I'm here. I have a purpose to be here
23:47
bigger than myself. Yeah, got to do it.
23:50
I really do believe that and I, and I don't think everyone, I'm
23:55
not going to say all of them, but I don't think the majority
23:57
get into politics to do anything nefarious.
24:00
And it is from a good place and you really want to help your
24:02
community and do stuff. There's always going to be your
24:04
bad apples that get in there for the wrong reasons.
24:06
But I think a lot get corrupted. The ones the majority get in
24:09
there for the right reasons, ends up getting corrupted and
24:11
they never and they they're too far, too far in to ever turn
24:15
back around, you know, unless it's really, really bad at the
24:17
end and or you get left or if you don't play hard enough, you
24:23
don't get to the dance. You know what I mean?
24:24
You don't get to they don't let you play if you don't fight back
24:27
enough. And only a few of those have the
24:29
ability to do the combination, which, you know, in one hand is
24:34
President Trump who's done it. And then Elon, same thing.
24:37
Like you said, he had no, didn't have to do any of this, but sit
24:41
back, didn't have to deal with any of this.
24:44
And we're going to sell Teslas no matter what and, and knew
24:48
what was going on. Lost half of his customers,
24:51
customer base and his view on the national spotlight in some
24:58
eyes. Because he knew it was because
25:00
he knew it was the right thing to do.
25:02
Well, they, they showed up today, apparently Trump's going
25:05
to buy one at, at regular value, at regular MSRP, whatever it is.
25:12
And they pulled up today to the White House with all of them,
25:15
the Model Y, the Cyber truck, all of them.
25:19
I mean, I figure Trump's going to end up just getting all of
25:21
them to begin with, but like, he's going to be driving them
25:25
around. Not for a.
25:25
While and live. If you live in a city and you
25:28
don't have to carry anything of any weight, it makes total
25:31
sense. Oh yeah.
25:32
Yeah, I was riding with a Rep last week in Orlando and he's
25:35
got the Model Y and dude, we were riding around.
25:38
That's a great vehicle, man. It's amazing.
25:41
He's got like all the bells and whistles and all the stuff and
25:44
stuff. The first one.
25:45
That thing's insane. It's like, I feel like it's 50
25:47
years in the future. You know it.
25:48
Really is, the first one I ever was in was DDPS.
25:51
He's had one for years now. Oh.
25:52
He's got a Tesla. Oh yeah, he got he had one eight
25:55
years ago when I met him. He said that them them low
25:58
balling him and and not him not getting the he he says it's the
26:02
car that Shark Tank bought. He said after Shark Tank he did
26:05
well enough just the appearance even get turned down that he.
26:07
Still helped. Yeah, that's so good.
26:10
And yeah, it was so sharp. I mean, it drove it it's self
26:14
driving all that and Dallas is 6/5.
26:16
He fit like it, you know, like it was nothing.
26:18
It was really impressive. After riding in it I thought
26:22
every other car feels dumb after this.
26:25
They do. They do.
26:27
I got to drive. 60 in two seconds on that thing the other
26:31
day. That seat dude crazy you'll slam
26:33
you back. I had the pleasure of driving. 1
26:37
is the funnest vehicle I've ever driven.
26:38
Ain't no doubt. Yeah, but if you live, but it's
26:41
so if you live in a town, it makes total sense.
26:43
It makes total sense. You're not driving like crazy.
26:46
Yeah. And like long rural trips, yes,
26:48
it makes full sense. Yeah, I got to give Jeffrey
26:51
Jones says that the best politician I've ever known is
26:55
Tig's dad. This is true, everybody.
26:58
And This is why I don't bring this up too much on this show
27:02
cuz I don't, I got a lot, I got big shoes to fill and I'm not
27:06
ever going to be a politician. But, and he was honest and he
27:09
was for his constituents, either Democrats or Republicans.
27:13
And he was truly an unbiased man.
27:16
And that is an absolute fact. It's one of the proudest things
27:21
that I am. I'm the most proudest of my dad
27:24
for. And you can go to anybody in the
27:26
state of Louisiana, what they would tell you be Republican or
27:30
Democrat, is that Joe Salter. That's my daddy's name that Joe
27:34
Salter was going to what his word was his bond and he was
27:38
just going to tell tell it to you like how he thought how he
27:42
thought his constituents would want it and he would he That's
27:46
what you're supposed to do at the end of the day when you're
27:49
in politics, you're supposed to listen to your pool of people
27:52
that elected you to get there, not all the outside noise.
27:56
If you're a congressman and from Louisiana, you should not be
27:59
listening or be influenced by some Jackass from California
28:04
that doesn't understand the politics are in Louisiana or
28:07
Alabama or Georgia or Minnesota or wherever that is.
28:12
That should never be an influence.
28:13
You should always represent it is in the name of the whole
28:17
deal. You represent your district,
28:21
your your constituents and you do what their wishes are.
28:25
You may not personally like the wishes of your constituents, but
28:29
they you're their voice. So you have to be their
28:32
megaphone and do that. Don't get me on a tangent.
28:36
Thanks for that, Jeff. That was that was super nice and
28:39
I and I couldn't agree more. That's exactly what you're there
28:42
for, though. You are right.
28:45
So you're there to represent the people that put you there.
28:47
It doesn't matter, like you said, if they're left, right or
28:49
whatever you were there, you're elected by them.
28:52
You're there to represent the people, right?
28:54
You're not, not just the people that elected you and not just a,
28:58
you know, a particular party, the people of your state, of
29:02
your area, of your region, and you're a voice for them and
29:05
whatever they say. So your county?
29:06
Your parish, your school board district, whatever.
29:09
Where you're at, you're exactly right, all the way down to the
29:12
lowest level. It's just that's what you're
29:14
there for, you know, to be a voice for them.
29:16
So it's, it's gotten so twisted and manipulated and, and all
29:20
that fun jazz. But you know, Jr., you mentioned
29:22
something a while ago about somebody bringing somebody to
29:25
the dance. How about them Troy Trojans
29:28
getting their ticket punch to the dance last night?
29:31
Man, how cool is that? I was so proud of them.
29:33
I went to eat dinner and I knew they were in championship game.
29:36
They've been playing great basketball.
29:37
But I was still like cautiously optimistic.
29:39
Like, man, this is still you. You still got to win it.
29:41
It's been since 2017 and man what a great game.
29:45
I don't know if y'all watched it but I I did I watched.
29:48
It I saw a little bit I saw the end of it and and and I texted
29:51
y'all as like them Trojans going dancing baby.
29:54
I don't have a dog in the fight. My tigers certainly aren't so
29:57
I'm right I'm riding with you baby.
29:59
Let's go let's break it go let's get an upset in the first round
30:03
kind of deal. Let's hope that we're maybe a 12
30:05
seed. I said we yeah and stutter yeah,
30:09
that's right that's right. I hope we.
30:10
Are I hope. We're at least.
30:12
Yeah, I'm going to be realistic. I'm hoping where I'm.
30:14
I'm looking at that 141312 to 14 range.
30:18
Any of those are very winnable. There's been wins getting in
30:21
that 14 range than there has been in years lately because
30:24
there's just so much parity and I.
30:25
Don't think there'll be a play in game.
30:27
I don't think they would be because they had.
30:29
To they're not a play in game. They'll be like a 14 or 13 or
30:33
12:00 somewhere in there. Yeah.
30:36
But not a play, no, a play in. No, they're they're not a play
30:38
in we. Got to start thinking.
30:39
I'll start. I'll start.
30:40
Doing a little. Work guys, y'all hit it up in
30:43
the chat if you would, Jane. Yeah, James Venison's yeah, for
30:49
sure. Hit us up in the chat.
30:50
Let us know if y'all want to do a little a pool, we can set that
30:54
up because I mean, I'm going to do 1 anyhow, might as well set
30:57
one up. For might as well.
30:58
For everybody, Rusty, Noel, what is up brother?
31:02
Appreciate you joining in guys. Noel, I'm going to talk about
31:06
this more on Thursday. You're listening to this on the
31:09
Bubba Army exclusive right now. You're probably going to have to
31:12
rewind it and go check it out. Go to our channels,
31:15
tigsbitstigsbits.com, go to our YouTube channels, all of that
31:18
stuff, Tigsbits podcast. Go back and listen 'cause I'm
31:23
going to have a video on this and kind of really dive into a
31:26
little deeper recap of the Cajun burger cook off that I went to
31:32
this weekend. I'm still putting the putting
31:35
the videos together as we're recording this.
31:37
Don't have everything done, but dear Lord, boys, talk about
31:43
heaven. I'm pretty sure that and I said
31:46
this there that and I told this to Riley.
31:49
He was my cameraman. He was there with me.
31:51
If I died and went to heaven. I haven't like if this was what
31:55
heaven was like, then it is exactly what I was hoping.
31:58
I mean, I was. Exactly what you're looking for,
32:01
huh? Exactly what I'm looking for,
32:04
unlimited burgers so much just just gluttony, which I don't
32:09
think it's going to be in heaven, but maybe it will.
32:13
You know, you're never disappointed.
32:15
You're supposed to never be sad or anything.
32:17
Maybe you never get full or. Maybe you just have a burger.
32:21
Maybe you never gain any weight if you eat a bunch of burgers,
32:23
is what it. Maybe you're for the rest of
32:26
your life. Each day is a different cook
32:28
off. You're there to.
32:30
Commentate it. That is heaven just of all the
32:35
varieties of food. I could do that circuit for the
32:38
rest of my life. Totally, totally, totally.
32:42
Well, I'm going to dive more into it, but I can tell you this
32:47
I had I think there were there were 19 or 20 teams.
32:51
I did not have a single bad burger, not not even 1.
32:57
And you had burgers from Rusty. If you're still in here, you can
33:02
chime in. Rusty's burger number one was
33:05
freaking amazing. He had this.
33:07
It wasn't totally a bacon jam, Rusty.
33:10
You'll have to tell me exactly what you would call it because
33:12
it wasn't as sweet as some of the other bacon jams, but it was
33:15
still kind of on that premise. And just he had both Wagyu from
33:20
Snake River, Snake River farms. I told him, I told him the story
33:24
about you sending me the Tri tip a couple of them and and all of
33:29
that stuff from from them. But he had Wagyu beef, ground
33:33
beef for some and then he also had rib eye ground beef and he's
33:39
he had made pre made his patties and beforehand.
33:44
So I was there when we were sampling them.
33:46
We all agreed that the rib eyes had a little bit more flavour,
33:49
but the Wagyu had a little better texture.
33:52
And when you're going with the judge, you kind of go with the
33:54
wow factor. Rusty made made the top six,
33:57
made the final stage. I'm not sure exactly where he
34:00
finished. Damn good burger.
34:02
That's all. And there were heavy hitters at
34:04
this deal. Dave, Dave Hulan, Hulan, however
34:08
you say his last name, I'm sure he's watching this.
34:10
He'll be mad at me butchering it.
34:12
But he's been on the show. He had unbelievable.
34:16
He had a regular a true bacon jam sourdough bun.
34:20
I love a good bacon jam on a burger, dude.
34:22
Oh my God, I've never made a bacon jam, but I can tell you
34:25
right now that will be happening very soon.
34:28
I watched our friend cooking with Joni.
34:31
He's been on the show. He's made a video that I saw
34:34
this afternoon teaching you how to do it.
34:37
He did that with Chef Dave. He he kind of was his sous chef
34:41
in a, in a sense or whatever and, and help make some of that
34:45
stuff. I think he helped make that
34:47
bacon jam. Unreal.
34:50
And then Chef Dave topped it off with with 24 karat gold flakes,
34:55
gold flake. It's ridiculous.
34:58
Just just ridiculous. A flex.
35:00
That's a big. A total flex, but then you go
35:03
from that to the one that won was a hybrid smash burger, which
35:08
seems to be a very big topic of debate for people on the
35:11
Internet. The trolls, They do not like you
35:14
calling a smash burger that is not smashed all the way down to
35:20
where it's, you know, an eighth inch or whatever Paddy and get
35:24
the crust. This was a hybrid.
35:27
Didn't smash it all the way down, but enough to get that
35:31
good reaction, that crispy, crispy, yummy crunch, but still
35:35
thick enough to have to be like a regular.
35:38
Hamburger. My burger too, yeah.
35:40
I like that a lot of people do. Beautiful.
35:42
It sounds like he like he's got the best of both worlds, right?
35:45
Best of both worlds, yeah, but but that seems that I'm going to
35:48
be. Sounds like you won to me.
35:50
They did win and yes, but I love it.
35:54
Oh, I love it. And what what it's made me
35:56
realize is I'm going to make a video pretty soon.
36:00
It's going to be a parody. Y'all that are watching and
36:03
listen to this, when you see this, you're not going to don't
36:06
ignore the comments because they're going to be brutal.
36:08
And I can't wait. But I'm going to make a video of
36:11
how to make a smash burger and I'm going to use all of the
36:14
things that people get pissed off about.
36:17
Wonder where I learned this Austin Dennis, everything that
36:19
people get pissed off about the hybrid that is staying.
36:22
And I'm going to by God commit to it like this is science and
36:27
this is how it's done. And it's just total commitment
36:31
and it's all going to be wrong, not wrong.
36:33
You can still get a good hamburger out of this, but it's
36:35
not going to be what the traditionalists consider to be a
36:40
smash burger. So.
36:41
It's going to be fun. That'll be good.
36:43
I'm working on it. Fire them up.
36:45
Fire them up. Just get them pissed off.
36:47
Engagement. It's all about engagement.
36:50
It is. Speaking of engagement, Adrian
36:52
was on that team. Great job.
36:54
She was the griddle cook. I love it.
36:57
Y'all did amazing. You did amazing.
37:00
Y'all were awesome. Yeah, those burgers were good.
37:01
I look forward to talking about that on Thursday night, diving
37:06
in a little bit further and and having a video showing you all
37:10
some of the stuff and speaking about cooking.
37:13
I know you shared this with me, Jr. and a good friend of mine,
37:18
Tony Troon. We call him Troon, and sent it
37:20
to me, too. He's from Jena, LA and and last
37:26
week there was this article in the Gina Times that introduced
37:31
the Gina Pit Bosses, Louisiana's first high school BBQ club,
37:38
established at Gina High School, which is kind of in centralish
37:42
central. You'd say it's in central
37:44
Louisiana. Really cool.
37:47
There's about 2020 kids that are actively participating in it
37:51
and, and they're going to teach students how to not just how to
37:55
grill, but the full process of barbecuing, including using like
38:00
live fire charcoal, marinating, seasoning and presentation.
38:05
And, and so it's going to be cool.
38:08
They're going to have a very official competition team.
38:11
So I can't wait. I will interview them at some
38:14
point. I will be at an event that they
38:16
are putting on and I, I can't wait to see what they do.
38:19
That's going to be. It's awesome.
38:21
Yeah, that's so cool. Hey, I want to talk something
38:24
that was cool, and it involved food and music and everything
38:27
else. I didn't get to eat any of the
38:30
great food, but it smelled good. But I was in an event yesterday
38:33
in Nashville for an award dinner held at the Opry House out at at
38:40
Opryland near the Gaylord Hotel. That's why I'm wearing my
38:45
America's Country Countdown with Bob Kingsley hat.
38:49
The the presentation was for the Bob Kingsley Award, which is for
38:54
philanthropy and service stuff in the music community in
38:58
Nashville. And the honoree last night was
39:01
Scott Borchetta, who is the president of Justin's record
39:04
label. And he's was the started with
39:06
Taylor Swift and all these other acts over the years.
39:09
He was race car driver from California music business mogul.
39:13
I mean, just a very successful and, and, and outstanding guy
39:17
and a lot of cool people there. And it was very cool.
39:19
Just cool event for us to go to. And for me, walking around
39:22
thinking about it while I was there yesterday with all these
39:26
Nashville bigwigs to come from, you know, a trailer in Alabama,
39:29
to end up on that being there with all those people last
39:31
night. But it was pretty cool.
39:33
Who all was there is what I was getting to.
39:35
And it's cool that Bob was there, you know, and or, you
39:38
know, that was in his honor and all that stuff and got to see
39:40
some people. But there were some really cool
39:42
artists here. I got to talk to Tracy Lawrence.
39:44
That's always a that's always fun.
39:46
Tracy was there. And OP at the Ralph St.
39:49
Rodeo in a couple weeks. Oh, really?
39:51
Yeah. Anyway, yeah, I was talking, I
39:54
was talking with him for a little bit.
39:56
Did you drop the? Podcast let me act like Bubba
39:58
right now. Did you drop the podcast?
39:59
Oh, of course, I told him. We've been doing the podcast.
40:02
I need to get him on he, he wants to get Justin on his.
40:05
We've been talking about it and he basically, you know, a lot of
40:08
the stuff they're doing was, you know, he kind of took what we
40:10
were doing and ran with it, which is great because Tracy got
40:12
the personality for it and he's a living legend and all that.
40:14
Is a great show. Tracy Lawrence has a great
40:17
podcast. I love that.
40:18
Show great podcast, but I got so I got to talk to him for a
40:21
while. Got to talk to Randy Travis and
40:23
his wife Miss Mary for a minute. That's always wow, he's doing
40:28
good. He got done with his part when
40:30
he was out there talking. He got back.
40:32
He was trying to tell him something and he's like, I got
40:34
to pee. So he had to get to the
40:37
bathroom. But then we we chatted for a
40:39
minute. Great to see him.
40:42
Saw Terry Clark for a second. I talked to Brett Young for a
40:46
minute. Who else did we see there last
40:48
night? Justin.
40:50
Yeah, Justin got to catch up with Jimmy.
40:52
Wayne and Jack Ingram were both there and both of them were were
40:56
on the, you know, label. Jack and Justin were two of the
40:59
first artist on when Big Machines started, Valerie
41:02
Records. So and they hadn't seen it.
41:05
And Jimmy reminded Justin just say he's got a good memory. 2010
41:09
since they had last seen each other.
41:10
So 15 years since they and seen each other and said hello.
41:14
And yeah, it was just, it was a really cool US Band Perry.
41:18
Oh, wow. I had to do a double take.
41:21
And we got back in the green room, you know, in our little
41:23
dressing room, number 3 they give us #3 lately, which is a
41:26
little Jimmy Dickens room, which is cool.
41:28
Isn't that where you came? You do a podcast from where?
41:30
You came to? It's live from Yeah.
41:31
Yeah, I was in a different, I would think I was in Room 7 when
41:34
I did the podcast. And Justin was in the Little
41:37
Jimmy Dickens room. Yeah, yeah.
41:39
That's right. But yeah, we.
41:40
So we got back, I turned around, we were like, was that Band
41:42
Perry? We looked up was like, yeah,
41:43
that was The Band Perry. Don't they're?
41:45
Kind of are they coming back? Didn't they kind of go away for
41:49
a minute and. Yeah, they went, they went and
41:52
did their own solos. I don't really know.
41:53
But this was a real kind of special thing because of just
41:56
who it was. It was people who Scott had
42:00
worked with over the years. So it was a lot of people
42:03
weren't expecting to be there that were there, you know, from
42:05
different like because Tracy's not on our record label now, but
42:07
they had worked together when find out who your friends were
42:10
came out OK, you know, TK was there.
42:14
Toby Keith, longtime manager and business partner, because
42:18
Borchetta was there with how do you like me now and the, and the
42:20
big Toby Keith run he had and you know, and the man Perry and
42:24
I don't think Swift was there, but he he, he was the one that
42:27
brought up what 14 year old Taylor Swift to to country
42:30
radio. So wow.
42:32
So anyway, I say all that. It was humbling experience for
42:35
me to be there, but it was very cool also, and I took advantage
42:37
of it. I didn't get any interviews or
42:38
pictures. I got 1 little picture of me out
42:40
in front of the the Opry backstage entrance that I always
42:43
do but but just wanted to say that was, you know, it was
42:47
really cool event in Nashville representing those are all good
42:49
fine country artists. It was good to be in a room with
42:52
them. Man, that's yeah, that's to to
42:55
say the least, that's so cool. You know, it's you know, it's
42:59
easy to say, hey, get some pictures, get some videos, but
43:01
you get in that kind of situation, it's kind of it's
43:03
tough, I get it. So you.
43:04
Got a There's a time and a place.
43:07
I got the hat, I got the hat, I got the hat.
43:10
They were when we were leaving. They say y'll take any of this.
43:11
You won't You know me what over and make sure I have nothing I
43:14
could take. Got me a hat.
43:17
Got me a hat and a a. Handkerchief.
43:18
Oh, man, That's so that's so Dang.
43:20
Hey, I got to ask you. I'm sorry, this is bothering me
43:22
a little bit. That that Pandora like that that
43:26
Pandora billionaire thing. What is that?
43:28
That billion? Tell me what that is.
43:30
That is, that is to Justin Moore.
43:34
Congratulations on over 3 billion streams on Pandora, that
43:37
is. She's anity 3 billion streams.
43:41
Holy cow, that's crazy town. A billion billions dreams.
43:48
Our boy Austin Dennis is in the chat, he says.
43:52
Austin over there. Austin doesn't believe that
43:55
we're actually ever going to have Justin Moore on the
43:57
podcast. He said that to me the other
43:59
day. He said, I don't think you're
44:00
really ever going to have him. Well, we probably won't, but if
44:03
you sit right there, J Rs, at least in his studio, we're
44:06
getting closer. I'm going to tell you right now
44:08
he's coming on the show. We had him on the.
44:10
Show we had him on the show, he's just never aired.
44:13
We're a train wreck, So sorry, that's our fault.
44:16
Hey, I just got to say, Austin, I think he, I think he spelled
44:19
Roll Tide wrong in your little message there.
44:23
The. Keyboard Think kids playing with
44:25
your keyboard. We'll get J ammonia, he said.
44:29
Just let him you know. We've talked about lately he's
44:31
down whenever we get a. Break.
44:32
He'll be down. We're going to have him on, no
44:34
doubt, no doubt about it. But look, talking about this
44:37
music and all of this stuff, there's something that we've
44:40
gone this whole time that we meant to hit on at the top of
44:43
the hour. But Bubba threw a curveball with
44:46
this whole Tim Poole show, teased a little bit on Tigs
44:50
tonight last week that there are some changes are coming.
44:54
A changes are brewing in the show and some of these changes
44:59
are going to allow some of those things like Jr. just talked
45:04
about to kind of start to organically happen a little bit
45:08
more. Blasey, I want you, Sir, to make
45:12
the announcement of what is happening.
45:14
What are we going to be doing moving.
45:15
Forward, man, we're going to be doing I'll tell you what we're
45:17
going to be doing we're going to be getting back to kind of what
45:21
this is those moments where you start spreading yourself a
45:23
little too thin, which we've done lately and we're trying to
45:26
meet so many different obligations and we also have our
45:29
own obligations outside of the show to try to meet.
45:31
So, you know, we came to realization it's like, hey,
45:35
let's let's do something There's two things we need to do right
45:37
here. 1 we need to sharpen the pencil and we need to get a
45:40
little bit better, right And then we also in order to do
45:43
that, we're going to have to make more time and we got to be
45:45
able to free some things out. So we have made some decisions
45:48
here and one of those decisions is to streamline what you're
45:51
seeing right now, which is our show itself and bring that in
45:54
kind of probably into 11 product that we may end up doing one or
45:59
two times a week or three times how many we can do that as many
46:02
times we want to. But from an obligation
46:04
standpoint, we have been with right now television for over
46:09
the past year and it has been phenomenal.
46:12
What a great partnership, what a great learning experience, what
46:16
a great group of guys. It's been in a fantastic
46:19
experience. But right now we're at a point
46:22
where we've got to make some decisions for the show.
46:24
So one of the things we're going to be doing, we're not going to
46:26
be doing the TV show itself anymore.
46:28
So we're going to be stepping away from that.
46:30
But what it's going to do is going to allow us to be able to
46:32
open up some other doors, right? We're going to be opening up
46:36
some new doors where we're doing some more cooking videos, we're
46:39
doing some food reviews. I've already done 2 this week.
46:43
And so. Oh yeah.
46:46
Oh yeah. So we're going to be, and we're
46:48
going to get Jr. the handlers going to be stepping in, trying
46:52
to get a little action out there, bringing in some better
46:54
guests from time to time. So we're going to just, you know
46:57
what? We're not going to be the, the,
46:59
the, the quantity is going to come down, but the quality is
47:02
going to just absolutely up to the roof.
47:04
That's it. So.
47:05
We're going to go back to what we were doing before we got hit
47:08
with, hey guys, you're doing 1 pretty damn good show a week and
47:12
now you're getting attention to, hey, can you do three shows now
47:16
a week? Yeah, no problem man.
47:18
We can do. That rightly.
47:21
Get editing. Yeah, just get after it.
47:23
So yeah, we're going to, we're going to free the editor up a
47:26
little bit, which is going to allow more content to flow in.
47:30
Go to two nights a week for at at least record one Bubba.
47:34
Not every Bubba's show like we do.
47:36
If we have a guest or something like that, we record that on a,
47:39
on another platform typically, you know, we edit those down and
47:43
all that. So we, we won't do those live
47:46
every, every week. We won't go live for the Bubba.
47:49
But the plan is to go live just about every week at some point
47:53
in time because it's not hard to edit whenever you just do it
47:57
live. It is what it is.
47:59
It is what it is. That's right.
48:01
And we like interacting with you guys out there.
48:04
That's what makes this whole thing fun.
48:06
So I think going, when we started going live a year ago,
48:10
we've looked at things, we've all sat down, we had our Camp
48:14
David meetings and came up with ideas and things.
48:17
And I mean, I can tell you right now the relief of just no longer
48:21
having to worry about editing that TV show.
48:25
And it's not like it's not the end of the world.
48:27
It's not that hard, but when we're we want to do, we want
48:31
better quality, quality for the Bubba army #1 and I think we can
48:36
give the Bubba Army podcast a hell of a better show.
48:39
Everybody's getting what they signed up for.
48:41
Whenever they first came on board with us, what was
48:44
presented? Number one, that's our strongest
48:46
podcast. We've got to make that better,
48:49
which is what we're going to do. And then #2 we got to free up a
48:53
little bit more time so we can do these outside things and
48:56
start to bring you some other content from some other angles.
48:59
JRR type stuff. Exactly.
49:02
Jr. is exposed to a little bit more celebrity type angles than
49:07
Blasey and I for sure. I'm exposed to these cooking
49:11
things. Blasey's travel in the nation
49:13
and going to fine dining restaurants.
49:15
We're going to blend all of this into what you're about to start
49:20
seeing what what what you have been seeing.
49:22
So so we're going to have a lot of fun.
49:26
Yes, we are. Yes, we are.
49:27
And I think, you know, food is, has always been central to this
49:29
show. And it's funny, I, I, I do have
49:32
to mention this. I've been invited, I've been
49:34
invited to the Geneva Festival on the river 2025 by the one and
49:40
only Todd Mote and he and they've, they've started this
49:44
cooking event on the side. There's a pro division and a
49:48
backyard division and he's invited me, called me the other
49:51
day. Hey, come up there and stay
49:52
with, you know, Lee and myself. We've got room for you.
49:55
Come on up. People want you to cook, you
49:56
pick your division. And you know, it's funny.
49:58
He's sitting there selling me on this with my buddy, first of
50:00
all, and I'm not going, man. I feel like a damn celebrity,
50:02
you know what I mean? He's just like opening it up and
50:04
wait, we'll set you up. We got a whole house for you on
50:07
the lake out here. I was like, dude, I've got to
50:10
figure out a way to go. I mean, like this is like full
50:12
greased action right here. And so I'm trying to make that
50:15
work. The only thing I realized we got
50:17
a Dang baseball tournament that weekend.
50:19
So I'm trying to figure out how I can maybe manipulate that and
50:21
do both. I can start cooking on Friday,
50:22
go back, leave, come back, finish, present my product.
50:26
So I'm working on that drinking of food.
50:30
I can't wait. And and Congrats to our buddy
50:32
Todd Mote too, who's been part of our show.
50:34
He's a big his son's big in the fishing.
50:36
He supports him. He has an unbelievable bass
50:38
fishing set up. Yes, he does.
50:40
He is now on the board of directors for the Alumni
50:43
Association for Troy University. He just got nominated for that
50:47
recently. So Congrats to Todd on that too.
50:49
So, and I appreciate the invite to the Geneva Festival on the
50:53
river for 2025 and that cooking deal.
50:55
I'm going to try to get in that action so.
50:58
Anyway, I, I was asked this week or in this weekend to be a judge
51:05
at the Free State Festival BBQ cook Off.
51:08
Yeah. So, yeah, that's in November.
51:13
November. That's what's crazy, the cooking
51:15
stuff. I love this cooking community
51:18
that we're getting to be a part of.
51:20
It rolls all year long. We noticed that Tales from the
51:23
Tailgate really worked. So do Tales from the Cook Offs.
51:28
I can just tell you they working, they're working and
51:30
they're going to work even better.
51:31
And we got plenty of content, so.
51:33
That's the rest of the year. Who doesn't love food?
51:36
I don't care if you don't like. Everybody's got to eat blazing.
51:39
Or if you don't like sports, or you like sports, or everybody
51:42
likes food. Everybody likes food.
51:44
That's right. That's right.
51:45
Let me get a little clarification in here for Paul
51:48
Rogers and and and Brian Gilson both.
51:51
Paul, so you're taking a break from right now?
51:53
Yes, we're going to take a break from right now.
51:55
TV shows will continue through the end of the quarter, through
51:59
the end of March. So we still have shows that'll
52:01
be coming up. Full disclosure, they're going
52:03
to be some repeats. There is a brand new show that
52:06
will come out tomorrow night and it'll also be dropping on our
52:10
podcast stuff too that the very heart warming interview that
52:14
I've talked about with Tony Menace and Tim Segal.
52:19
Segal, I mean, Siegel, Tim Siegel, that'll be dropping this
52:23
week. And that's a fantastic,
52:26
fantastic interview. And to be clear, look, Norm, who
52:30
owns right now television, who is my neighbor?
52:33
Like we're in great standing. We talked, he understood, he
52:36
gets it. It's just about man time and
52:39
energy and effort and like and where we are right now like.
52:42
It's so I mean, I think what you're saying is exactly right,
52:44
Paul, we're taking a break. Yep, we're taking a break.
52:47
I. Think the door.
52:48
The door is still open. For right now TV and at some
52:53
point in the future we definitely may jump back in it,
52:56
but this is going to give us kind of a that opportunity to we
53:00
had we were rolling, we were kind of moving in in in the
53:03
direction that we wanted and then all of that was a great
53:06
thing to have happen. But we need to step back a
53:09
little bit and refocus on making a little bit better content.
53:14
Brian asked is this going to be just video or video or just
53:18
audio? Brian here's the good thing.
53:20
I don't think y'all are going to notice one bit of difference in
53:23
anything that we do now. The Tigs tonight where we were
53:27
going live 3/4, four nights a week.
53:29
Whenever I was doing that in January, that's not going to
53:31
happen anymore. That's going to be the biggest
53:34
difference. We're going to try to go live
53:36
twice a week. One maybe being above a one, may
53:39
