0:00
Welcome back to TIGS Bits and oh man, it's been a wild few weeks
0:04
for us here at the show. So we thought, why not talk a
0:06
little bit about it, hear a little bit about what's been
0:09
going on behind the scenes and a little bit about what's coming
0:12
in the future. Look, we want to thank all of
0:14
you guys for your support. We've had a ton of new
0:16
followers, subscribers on all of our social media channels or put
0:20
the podcast platforms everywhere.
0:22
We absolutely love it. Keep on sharing this stuff with
0:25
your friends, you know, here at TIGS Bits we talk a little bit
0:29
about. Everything, boys, welcome back.
0:37
It's good to see the handler is back with us this week.
0:40
We got blacey. I mean, this is going to be a
0:43
this is going to be a good time, man.
0:44
What's been going on, gentlemen? Oh wow dude.
0:48
I'm just writing down some notes here.
0:49
This is going to be fun. I'm so pumped a bunch, so I'm
0:52
going to be short. Let it get to blacey.
0:54
I do. I want to put for the record
0:55
though. Glad to be back chit chat with
0:57
you guys. And when we after we talked
0:59
before on the pre show and you gave us the countdown before
1:04
we're recording, it actually started at exactly 4:20 PM in
1:07
the afternoon just for historical markers, just for
1:10
historical markers, there are no significant cultural numbers
1:13
associated there. But just putting that out there
1:15
that we started this show on 4/20 and.
1:18
And and yeah, I'm good. I've been on the road, normal,
1:20
normal stuff. Been been a hot summer.
1:23
It's been fun. I'll I'll talk about a little
1:25
that later in the show. But since we have a new budding
1:29
radio and Internet star as a cast member of this podcast I
1:34
figure we just throw the mic over to.
1:37
The The conservative radio television YouTube sensation
1:41
known as the Wonder Kid Chad Blasi over here.
1:44
What's going on, Blasi blase? Absolutely, Glenn Beck.
1:48
Chad Blasi, nice intro. There they are.
1:51
Nice intro now man. It's been, it's, it's been
1:53
crazy. It's been fun.
1:55
I mean it's probably some of y'all have been watching the
1:57
show. Saw that we were on Bubba the
1:59
Love Sponge and and he found us and brought us on his show and
2:04
you guys have all seen that. We've got that out there, but.
2:06
It's funny. What we didn't talk about is how
2:08
that show almost never happened. Which is what's even crazier is
2:12
this was a day I was actually working.
2:14
I was on the road. We're trying to come up with a
2:16
time that afternoon to record. I realized I left my my mic
2:22
cord, so I didn't have my mic. So I'm running around trying to
2:25
find a Walmart that's got this Dang.
2:28
USB it's not even a C It's something that they don't even
2:31
hardly make anymore. It's very rare And finally found
2:34
a universal one that you spin around that'll plug in get to
2:37
the hotel. We're still trying to line up
2:38
Jr. then I don't. I realize I don't have a power
2:41
cord in my computer and I'm like you've got to be kidding me,
2:44
man. You know and and I'm about ready
2:46
to throw in the towel and then Jr. bows out because he's busy.
2:49
He's on the road so he couldn't join us.
2:51
And finally you know Brantley's like, no, we're doing a show.
2:54
We're just scrap what we're going to do which was condiments
2:56
we're going to talk about podcast.
2:58
So I just whipped out my phone there in the room and and then
3:02
we laid it out and and the rest is history on that of what
3:04
happened to what took place. But I'm definitely glad that you
3:06
pushed us through there. Tigs pulled us out the other
3:09
side, man, but. Well, we, it had been too long
3:14
of a day, that day of you and I going back and forth.
3:16
I'm looking up stuff on Amazon, trying to figure out what that
3:20
would be to make it work. And you know, I know you.
3:23
I know how crazy it was. It's like, look, we've spent all
3:26
of this time and effort to do this, that Gummit, we're going
3:30
to do a show today one way or the other.
3:32
We're recording something. And so we took a little 30
3:35
minute break in between like, all right, we got it together,
3:39
we can do this. Let's take a minute.
3:42
Get our minds right, Come back and do it.
3:44
And then, yeah, the rest is history, so they say.
3:46
So, you know, hopefully this will turn out the same way.
3:49
A show about a show, hey. And I know, and I know we talked
3:53
about it a little bit on that. But the way it came up to cover
3:56
the part of conversation that got picked up by the the Bubba's
4:00
army that that got it back to him.
4:02
For him to reach out to you guys to want to get on the show that
4:05
day was y'all were talking about your favorite.
4:08
Podcasters or radio personalities?
4:10
Yeah, and Brantley went with a very weak Conan O'Brien as I
4:13
remember, And then didn't get a lot of love from our hey, the
4:19
truth, the truth, the truth, the truth will only set you free,
4:23
but it did not get near the love.
4:25
Not an impressive list though. Hey, everybody loved Conan when
4:29
he switched channels. He lost a lot of people when he
4:31
switched channels. I will say that he was.
4:33
He was my favorite for about a six year period.
4:35
I was. Toning for about a six,
4:37
eight-year period he was the best he was taught.
4:39
He was apex predator but Blacey went with his South Florida love
4:44
of Bubba the Love Sponge from notorious wrestling back story
4:50
you know dirt sheet type stuff and and and the and the and
4:55
things like that and just being a big figure from living down in
4:58
South Florida and then now in Central Florida where his show
5:01
is syndicated all around. So you've mentioned that and
5:05
then that got picked up. Somebody on his team or somebody
5:08
sent it to somebody on his team or his filters and they get it
5:11
to him. And of course you're giving him,
5:14
you're giving him some love, but you're just spitting facts,
5:16
really. You're not, You're not, you're
5:18
not grabbing for hey Bubba, please, you know, please look at
5:21
me. I'm your biggest fan, call me,
5:23
blah, blah, blah. You were just shooting it
5:25
straight and it resonated. Basically the whole idea was
5:28
just to layout a short summary about this guy because.
5:32
I assumed 99% of the people that listened to us had never heard
5:36
of this guy, you know what I mean?
5:37
So it's just a, you know, it was just facts.
5:40
I mean everything, everything listed there was just facts
5:41
about him, you know, so. It it really was.
5:45
And I can attest you guys can go back and listen to season one
5:49
episode called Florida Man where who we're Chad talked about
5:53
Bubba. In that episode.
5:55
So I mean he's been discussed before.
5:57
His love has been professed for well over a year.
6:01
This was just, hey, that's his favorite freaking podcast.
6:04
I'm glad it's now become one of mine too.
6:07
I mean I I get I'm Bubba army. I wasn't I took my heat on that
6:11
show I'm fine with. Doesn't bother me a lick.
6:14
Everything Bubba said was 1,000,000% correct.
6:17
He read me so well. I love that.
6:19
That's why he is where he's at that dudes, who knows.
6:22
He just knows. But yeah, but man, what a, what
6:27
a blast. That whole deal.
6:28
Of course there's the behind the scenes on that that that we've,
6:32
that we put out and and all of that to go along with the Bubba
6:35
the Love Sponge documentary that we made based off of.
6:39
That, and if you haven't, go check it out.
6:41
It's pretty good. It's pretty good.
6:43
YouTube Tigs has done a great job.
6:47
There's some great content on YouTube.
6:48
I don't know if you're listening to this on the Spotify app or
6:52
Apple, a podcast or. Maybe you're already watching
6:55
this on YouTube, but dig around on some of those shorts and
6:57
those clips and those different videos the Tigs makes, man,
7:00
they're great. That's some funny stuff, man.
7:02
Thank you, ma'am. We've been having fun for a
7:05
while on this show and like like you said, there's a ton of
7:08
content already set up everywhere.
7:10
Go check it out, Take some deep dives.
7:12
I don't think our shows a bad, a bad one to go down a little
7:16
rabbit hole in. So you know, just a selfless
7:20
plug. And this is new listeners.
7:21
Come on is all of our current listeners.
7:24
And people out there in podcast land spread the word and new
7:27
content comes out that may be relevant to someone they know
7:30
and they pass us along to them. It's just going to grow.
7:32
And some of this bat content we're going to mention that over
7:35
the over each ever couple of episodes that that the bat
7:37
content if you if you're new to the show go back look at some of
7:40
that bat content. There's stuff that I've I've
7:42
been a fan before I was even involved with the show that I
7:46
still go back and listen to to remember what I'd heard on it
7:49
and things like that. You know we talked about it the
7:51
the guy with the metal detector. I love that episode.
7:54
And then the locals and then the Tommy, the local sports guy from
7:56
Baton Rouge. I love that kind of stuff.
7:58
Yeah. So we won't encourage everybody
8:00
go back if your new listeners which hope we're getting new
8:02
listeners every week to to go back and and check that stuff
8:05
out because it's it's it's just good stuff.
8:08
It's good stuff. It is a blacy go back going back
8:11
to Bubba the Love Sponge. Now we of course we did that
8:14
show and all but here recently. You went to Tampa Bay and
8:19
actually hung out with Bubba. Last going into July 4th, Amanda
8:25
and I were going to be without kids.
8:27
Going into the weekend for the whole week of 4th of July, just
8:29
the way it all worked out. So I was like, man, let's take a
8:32
road trip. And I knew Bubba had this Bubba
8:35
Army night he was doing at with the Tampa Bay Tarpons, which is
8:40
a minor league team there for the New York Yankees.
8:42
And they had like the suite area, the third, Fifth Third
8:45
Bank suite all set up. You know, you had, you know,
8:48
open bar there, food and all that jazz.
8:50
And I was like, you know what? The day before I literally on
8:52
Thursday I bought the tickets or Wednesday I bought the tickets.
8:55
We left Thursday, got down there.
8:58
I told Bubba I was coming. He was pumped up about it.
9:00
And dude, that was an absolute blast.
9:03
What was really cool, obviously I got to meet Bubba.
9:05
He's phenomenal, man. Dude's a really, really cool
9:08
cat, man. And.
9:10
What was meeting all these Bubba Army legends that I've heard
9:12
call into the show so many times over the years?
9:15
And dude, they were so nice, you know, it was so, so cool.
9:17
They were very welcoming and it wasn't like, who's this guy?
9:21
You know? It's like everybody was super
9:22
cool. It's a nice little tight knit
9:24
family. Got to hang out with Anna and
9:27
Lummi. I mean dude, they're they're all
9:29
just awesome people. It was it was an absolute blast.
9:32
The the highlight of it though is that the in the 9th inning
9:35
the Tarpons are losing three to nothing.
9:38
And Bubba has been wearing out the the whole bullpen because
9:42
we're right over the bullpen and this one guy he'd been calling
9:45
Kenny Powers all night, he's a guy that gets up, starts warming
9:48
up to come in and close it out in the night.
9:50
I mean, he is absolutely killing this kid.
9:52
I mean, it's it was hilarious. And I put that on on.
9:56
Twitter and Chad, I was going to say, Chad, you put that out on
9:59
your Twitter. What's your Twitter handle for
10:00
everybody? SRB Trojan?
10:03
Yes Sir. And you can also go to at Tigs
10:05
Bits podcast on our Twitter too. It's been shared on the The Show
10:09
page as. Well please, absolutely.
10:10
The Bubba's just killing this cat man and and and he goes out
10:15
there and he cannot find a strike.
10:17
I mean he he walks 3 batters in that inning and then gave up a
10:21
couple of hits and next thing you know man, Tampa wins the
10:25
game four to three on a on a walk off hit.
10:28
Too. Wow.
10:30
I mean, that kid. That kid was wow, It's
10:32
happening. Bubbly.
10:33
Wow. You got it, man.
10:34
You worked. It worked.
10:36
It worked. It worked.
10:37
Not. He was in his head, guns and
10:39
roses. And what was him?
10:40
He may have to cut this, but what did he say?
10:45
What was it that he? Was saying just asking me.
10:48
So, hey, did you? Something that the actual roads
10:52
make a stop in Texas out there to to meet your mom.
10:54
Is that really your dad? You know this poor kids, what,
11:02
19202324 at the most? At the most.
11:07
You know, you typically, I think you're going to most of your
11:10
minor league parks. You're not getting a whole lot
11:12
of trash talk. And if you see this video,
11:15
they're just like a bunch of vultures hovering over this
11:18
bullpen, just talking trash. Phantom to the frigate.
11:22
That's it, baby. Yes.
11:24
Sir, Yes Sir. You.
11:26
If you can't handle this, then you definitely can't take it.
11:30
Nobody. Next.
11:30
Level either when I say nobody, literally the stands outside of
11:34
where we are. We've got probably 120 people.
11:37
Standing over this dude screaming and the stadium was
11:39
basically empty. I mean, there might be 50 to 75
11:42
people in the whole place shut. Up only, huh?
11:44
Only fit. It was less than 100 people.
11:46
There, you. Think yes, Except bro.
11:48
And then it was about 120 and that one corner out there in
11:50
left field over the bullpen. It's like bull.
11:53
Wow yeah hell I went to a I went to a raised game.
11:57
I guess it was the right. Must been just pre Pandemic.
12:01
Justin. I went to a raised game and bro
12:03
there was less than 1000 people in that big old.
12:07
It's crazy down there with the. Rays, especially.
12:09
Like, you know, it's Major League Baseball and the.
12:11
That's what I we were thinking. And they're good, Yeah.
12:14
And they look good doing this, too.
12:16
Yeah, it was. It was.
12:18
I mean, there might have been 12-15 hundred people, but in a
12:20
big stadium that probably held 25,000 people.
12:23
You could hear conversations. Why?
12:24
Is that 2? 100 people.
12:26
Why is that? Too much stuff to do.
12:28
Is the stadium in a bad location or?
12:31
Trying to move it to Tampa for years and they got this longterm
12:34
lease. I think it expires like in 2025,
12:36
I mean. And this was when I moved down
12:37
there. It was a big topic.
12:39
That was in 2011. And it's just so far and so hard
12:43
to get over to Saint Pete. I mean, if you live around the
12:44
Tampa area, it's like an hour drive to go to the stadium and
12:48
that's kind of great, you know what I mean?
12:49
So it was and it's and they got to get on and it's always just
12:54
mangled up, you know, it's the only Rd. really that gets real
12:56
bad. The rest of them float nice, but
12:59
it's just in a bad location, you know, So until they get that.
13:02
Kind of like. Kind of like Six Flags of New
13:04
Orleans, you know. Imagine if they'd have put Six
13:07
Flags in New Orleans over by the airport instead of on, you know,
13:11
West Bank. You know, or.
13:12
West Bank, yeah. So, totally different deal.
13:15
You're right. That's true.
13:16
Good point. Good point.
13:18
Well, man, that that was. But that's well.
13:20
And I believe, I mean, I believe.
13:24
I don't want to put him on the spot, but I believe you got a
13:26
commitment. As well for Bubba to come on the
13:28
show some point, Bubba said he'll come on the show 100%.
13:32
Yeah, I was asking that question.
13:33
That's the only ask I had of him that night, but.
13:36
You said I, hey, I was going to, we need, I was going to give you
13:39
a hard time about actually paying for the tickets and
13:41
you're not hitting him up and said hey, put me on the list is
13:43
what you should done. But if you were asking a favor
13:46
of him, it was probably good to go ahead and buy the.
13:47
Ticket and then ask the favor. So good job.
13:50
Well, you know, it's crazy. It was 38 bucks a ticket, and
13:53
that includes, oh, wow, OK, entry, free drinks, snacks, free
13:57
foods. Oh, wow.
13:58
Like you can. I mean.
13:59
That's just like a it's kind of like that's just covering.
14:01
That's probably just covering the thing he throws in a little
14:04
bit to cover it. It helps them out.
14:05
It it's a fan interaction thing for his people rallying the
14:09
troops kind of deal. So it works good for everybody.
14:11
Smart. That's cool man.
14:13
Wonderful cup there Blacy. You can get that at tigsbits.com
14:17
available now but but then we move from Bubba the Love Sponge
14:22
and and and all of that into we have DD freaking P Diamond
14:27
Dallas page on the show dude. I mean how How does?
14:33
Well, I know that we know how that happens.
14:34
That happens thanks to Jr. the handler being very good friends
14:38
with with Dallas and but look, we cannot thank him enough for
14:43
coming on the show. Well.
14:45
What an honor. He certainly didn't have to do
14:48
that. We're we're just a little
14:49
scrawny podcast trying to make it and it's always it's nice to
14:53
have have the big dog kind of rooting for you.
14:56
Absolutely. Well, you know after we after we
14:59
Chad or blacey got. Because I we got to call him
15:02
Blacy. I'm going to have to get on to
15:03
Bubba when he comes on the show. His name's Blacy.
15:05
No more Chad and and it will it's.
15:08
Going to be tough for Bubba, can call him whatever, we'll.
15:11
Work we'll work on it I'll give I'll give Bubba a hard time.
15:14
I don't have to tell I I got good with the talent We'll work
15:16
on Bubba he'll be our buddy but but the but I thought after that
15:22
I thought man this is that was really cool you know we got you
15:25
know I've reeling off that and I thought this would be a good
15:27
time. Because we had talked about
15:29
some, you know, we'd already hinted on wrestling and the
15:31
southern thing and I thought because we were talking, we had
15:34
brought that up because we were talking about the Tampa area
15:37
being where Bubba and Chad had first heard the show.
15:39
So I thought that's be a good time.
15:40
Let me see if Dallas is busy and it's not as much on me being
15:44
friends with it. It's just that's just kind of
15:46
person he is. Y'all got to see, everybody got
15:47
to listen to the show, got to see.
15:49
That's how he is. If if it's something that was
15:51
going to help a few people, if he thinks that the that message
15:54
got out and helps a few people, he's he will do that all day,
15:56
every day. That's just how great of a
15:58
person he is. So when I hit him up and told
16:00
him what we were doing, I said, you know we're going to hit on
16:03
South Florida and then you know talk some DDP why for everybody,
16:07
for the new new podcast I'm on. He's like just tell me when,
16:11
bro. And then you know we had a
16:12
Little Mix up one evening. Because the dinner at his dinner
16:15
deal and then the next, you know then it was he text me that day.
16:19
He said I'm free in an hour so I'm like, all right let's go
16:21
guys. And he came on spent way more
16:24
time than I asked of him or than was needed.
16:25
But we we appreciate it and I've told a lot of people since then.
16:29
And again you can watch all this on YouTube.
16:33
I've done the ice bath thing one time.
16:34
I love a hot tub, but I've done the ice bath thing one time.
16:37
And for him to go out of a hot tub to an ice bath back and
16:40
forth talking to us and never went sing.
16:46
I mean, what an animal. And then he stands up here and
16:49
holds his hand foot over his head.
16:50
I mean, what an animal, huh? He's unbelievable, man.
16:55
I I've not done the ice bath thing.
16:58
I'm, I'm, I'm. I don't want to.
17:01
I'm just going to be on. I do not want to do that.
17:03
It does not See, I don't like a cold shower.
17:06
I I know that whole thing of taking cold showers and I've
17:10
I've listened to all that. I tried that and now with this
17:13
is crazy. Now granted the water does get
17:15
warmer and all that I I'm good. I can wake up but now there's
17:20
sense and and of course he talks about that in in that episode of
17:24
the reasoning of why you would want to do that.
17:27
But yeah, #1, if you can get past that, just that can hang
17:31
out in ice water. To your net talk.
17:34
Burning brown fat, which I've never heard of until that
17:37
episode, you know, I mean, it's like, why aren't we all doing?
17:41
I tried it for I tried it once, not too long ago.
17:46
We were at at Moore, Alabama, played the Wind Creek Casino and
17:48
they had our dressing room was the spa area, so they had the
17:52
hot tub in the shower and they had a nice cold little dip thing
17:55
there. Yeah, I told Justin I was like,
17:57
you ever got one of those? He goes, no, I didn't think he
17:59
had. I was like, oh man, I don't know
18:01
if I even can. So I tried and I got like, right
18:03
up to about my thighs and realized, man, I just don't.
18:06
It's my body's locking up. I don't think I could do this.
18:09
So he's competitive. So he's like he's so he's gonna
18:11
try and he got in he got all the way down to his neck.
18:13
I mean briefly got back up and he's just like, Oh my God.
18:16
He's like why would anyone do that He's like that.
18:20
So so then I was like all right. I'm competitive.
18:22
I was like he could do it. I got to do it once.
18:24
All right. I could do.
18:24
I can do this once mind over matter.
18:26
And I did and I got in I tried to relax for a second but my I
18:30
couldn't even. I couldn't even.
18:31
I couldn't even relax my body enough to sit you know.
18:34
So I I mean I was in and out instantly.
18:36
But. They woke me up, but I maybe you
18:39
could get used to it. But I thought about that when I
18:42
did it the one time in Dallas I told Justin.
18:44
I said Dallas got in and out. Not just from normal air either.
18:47
He was getting out of the hot tub where he was super warm.
18:50
That's the part of that, yeah. Was going from 105 degrees to
18:54
42. Degrees to a swimming pool,
18:56
which is 7578 degrees or whatever, 80 or 82, whatever it
19:00
is. Like that's that's very like,
19:02
oh, you know what I mean? But I can't imagine going, what
19:04
was it 4142 or whatever that was the other?
19:06
Day. It was 42 degrees, 41 we.
19:09
Didn't make the sound. He didn't give me.
19:11
Give me a second. He didn't.
19:12
Stop talking. Nothing.
19:14
He just kept talking. It was unbelievable.
19:18
It really was. Now I tried the same thing and
19:20
and there's a show we'll I've got a show coming out in the
19:23
next three to four weeks. It's an epic road trip to Omaha,
19:28
NE with my son and I and I documented all of it the whole
19:33
way. We just have to tell the story.
19:34
I'm going to bring my son on the podcast.
19:36
He's jacked about this. Yeah, so he's going to come on.
19:39
He and I are going to tell this story.
19:41
We're going to hear it from his point of view, too, which will
19:44
be fun. So it's going to, it's going to
19:46
be incredible. But I tried this plunge deal in
19:50
my own way in a little hotel in Fayetteville, AR, which we can
19:56
and I texted you to see where we should eat and stuff like that
19:59
on the We didn't have time for all of that.
20:01
As it ended up, we didn't need any anywhere.
20:04
But we we got there too late, but hung out in the hot tub.
20:09
And I said, you know what? I got hot.
20:11
I'm going to go into that pool. They had an indoor pool, too.
20:14
Not the same thing, but I'm going to go.
20:16
Back and forth and doing. That I do that anyhow.
20:18
You know it. Absolutely.
20:20
Yeah, absolutely. It ruined my apple.
20:23
So that's the. I won't mention that in the epic
20:27
father son deal, but yeah, it fried my freaking Apple Watch
20:30
word. A warning to anybody out there.
20:32
I do not suggest getting in a swimming pool or especially a
20:36
hot tub with an apple. Watch is it?
20:39
Yeah, I know, I know, I know. You can swim with it.
20:42
It's water resistant. It is not waterproof.
20:46
It was the heat. Yeah, I believe it was the hot
20:48
tub that. Steamed the inside.
20:50
That expanded the seal inside. And then, Oh my God, it.
20:54
Flat out because my wife loves her Apple Watch and she would be
20:59
heartbroken if hers broke in a hot tub at a hotel.
21:01
Oh dude, I've had a complete no bro like day 900.
21:06
I was on like day 904. Of the streak and I had 30
21:11
calories left to burn. So I said I pray to God.
21:16
I had my old Apple Watch. I'd had an original Apple Watch,
21:20
so I had it here at the house and I was just hoping that I
21:23
could get the activity done. I did a DDPY workout, just about
21:29
a 10 minute stretch and I was hoping that that would log in my
21:32
phone and whenever I did everything that it would count
21:35
it. It did.
21:37
I did not lose the streak, thank God.
21:39
But I mean, you know, it doesn't matter to anybody but me, but it
21:44
matters to me. So I know there are people out
21:47
there that are the same way. They may not admit it, but they
21:50
are the same way. So just a word of advice from
21:54
Tigs Bits. Do not suggest getting in any
21:57
kind of liquid with your with your watch, you have to remember
22:00
it's still an electronic. PSA of the We know.
22:03
And what it says on the what it says on the Apple website itself
22:07
is that it does not guarantee that it's water resistant.
22:12
But those seals will break down over time and eventually
22:16
moisture can leak into the motherboard and I believe.
22:20
That's what and I'm sure the. Chemical content and pool water
22:25
is probably not is like your back, like your collectors
22:28
bathtub or shower. With you.
22:31
That's right, they did. They suggest to never shower
22:33
with one. And they also suggest if you do
22:36
swim with one to rinse it off with, you know rinse it
22:40
underwater. Fresh, clean water.
22:43
And then of course the watch has a thing too that will, you know,
22:46
water mode or whatever it's called that will expel water.
22:49
Probably best just not to wear your electronics in the water.
22:52
Problem The best thing to do if you like your Apple Watch and
22:55
you can live without getting. If you can live without getting
22:58
the calories counted while you're in the pool, then I just.
23:02
You can log. There's a way.
23:03
I'm sure there's a way to log. You can.
23:05
Yes, there is. There's our, our by you a little
23:09
you. They're swimming things that if
23:11
you're a swimmer, you can get a Bluetooth band that is
23:14
waterproof. To calculate all that stuff, I
23:17
tried to buy one to swim, which is I didn't know I didn't.
23:20
Know well that's similar and then there's our PSA of the week
23:23
don't wear your Apple Watch or any electronics in the water and
23:26
I think we should do a PSA of the week like GI Joe because
23:29
we're all kids of the 80s. We should do a PSA every week.
23:31
So there's this one right that's that's our be and the more you
23:35
know you know not more power. But I'm not going to blame
23:39
Fayetteville, so I just want you to let make sure that that
23:43
everybody knows this. You know, a part of me may or
23:47
may not have cussed Fayetteville at that moment.
23:51
Because I'm like of all the damn towns that I decided.
23:54
Arkansas takes you down. Arkansas had to take you, take
23:56
LSU down, take you down. They had to personal again it's.
24:01
Personal foul Arkansas Razorbacks on purpose, Gold.
24:05
Yeah, yeah, this was a miracle in Fayetteville for the Hawks.
24:09
Not a miracle on Markham. But whatever.
24:11
It happened. OK, Congrats.
24:13
You got me again. Hey you know I I remember a few
24:16
years ago when I still was lived in Louisiana, I was swimming a
24:20
lot going to the. The Bayou land, YMCA and Houma,
24:23
which I love going there and swimming at big pool with the
24:25
old school canopy. You know, mind you the old
24:27
school. But I would this is the age of
24:30
earbuds. And I, you know, I had different
24:31
kinds. I don't think I had these kind
24:33
yet, but I had different kinds of good ear pieces, you know,
24:36
Bluetooth, all that stuff. And I thought there's got to be
24:38
way I can listen to my music while I'm swimming in the water.
24:42
And I spent and I spent probably 150 bucks or 200 bucks on
24:46
different little kinds of ones that would work, but it just
24:49
never worked. And and going about, like, the
24:52
watch thing, I realized I'm just not gonna be able to get
24:54
everything I want at all at one time.
24:57
Yes. Would it be cool if I can listen
24:59
to this some jazz while I'm swimming?
25:01
Yes. But I mean, it's it's
25:04
electronics up next to my brain inside the water.
25:07
I might as well just swim with my toaster, you know what I
25:09
mean? I'm like, this this can't be.
25:12
This sounds good to me. Like I can have all these
25:14
conveniences in life, but I just don't think this is gonna work,
25:18
you know? So.
25:19
Anyway, taking a little tiny submersible down to the Titanic,
25:25
huh? You know what I mean?
25:26
Yeah, right. Yeah.
25:27
I mean that that exactly like hey.
25:31
The first the first thing with that deal that they should have
25:34
known it should have been a big red flag, was that they were
25:36
using a. A friggin Logitech controller to
25:40
control. That's the worst gaming
25:42
controller the basement in the history of game bro.
25:45
All in all though, that kind of stuff, man, when you're doing
25:48
that crazy stuff, that's for military and high high level
25:52
scientists to be working. That is not, that is not a damn
25:55
cruise at Disneyland. That is crazy.
25:57
They were liking people. I mean what James Cameron did,
26:00
filming the Titanic and all, he had millions and millions of
26:05
dollars. And the highest level submarine
26:08
military, you know expert badasses there were, man, I mean
26:11
it's terrible. That is a tragic, tragic thing
26:13
that happened to those folks. It is a Trag you know we'll go
26:16
ahead and get we'll, you know, cuz unfortunately think bad
26:20
things happen and we we might have to do that every every
26:23
show. We'll get a few of those out
26:24
real quick if y'all want that. Along with is a lot of people
26:28
live where we live in the South now.
26:29
There's been a a terrible streak of people drowning on the Gulf
26:34
Coast over the past month or so. I know there's some stats from,
26:39
you know, 10 people in in 14 days on from here to there and
26:43
this and that. I know we had three or four one
26:45
weekend just along the Alabama Gulf Coast a few weekends ago
26:48
and it's just absolutely terrible with the with the
26:52
riptide and this stuff and when one made me think of it talking
26:55
about Fayetteville. A friend and brother that we
26:59
lost, that I actually know passed because of the water down
27:05
here that time Ryan Mallett who actually Justin was at his
27:08
funeral Thursday in Fayetteville before we went N to North
27:14
Dakota. But yeah, just here, 35 years
27:17
old, I'm telling you, I saw, I saw Ryan two months ago at a
27:20
benefit thing we did for tornado benefit in Little Rock.
27:24
He showed up, supported, got up, called the Hogs with all the
27:26
guys. He's just a great he's coaching
27:29
back home. He and he and Jay Wright
27:33
actually. Both played in the league.
27:35
They were both actually coaching at the same little 3A high
27:38
school in Arkansas. Man.
27:40
They were they had a great thing they were setting up to get rock
27:43
and those kids. He when he Ryan talked about
27:45
those kids and coaching man, he lit up.
27:47
You could tell that was his since his playing days were
27:50
over. That was his calling and and and
27:52
his and his family, man. Just sad.
27:54
But you know just everybody be careful out there.
27:57
He was 11, heck of a player and and I know.
28:02
I know you can give advice living on the beach like you do.
28:06
You know I'm familiar. I've lived on the beach too.
28:08
Blasi. Blasi lives on the beach as
28:10
well. But what do you do if you find
28:12
yourself in a riptide? Well I'm I'm only heard hearsay
28:17
and I'm I'm obviously no expert on it.
28:20
Fortunate I've never been in one that I'm that I know of the from
28:23
anything when it involves water like that the number one thing
28:26
to do is not freak out. Be panicking in the water will
28:30
mess you up. I helped a guy that fact got
28:32
turned over on his sea do a couple of years two years ago
28:34
maybe me and Charisse riding through and I saw a guy off his
28:37
sea do and I could tell he couldn't get back on so we
28:40
pulled over and checked on it. Yeah he couldn't get back on his
28:42
sea do. He had got over.
28:43
He had rented it was out there for a while and we were trying
28:45
to get him on our boat and. He started panicking.
28:48
I had to constant buddy, just I'm not going to let you drown.
28:51
You got this. Just don't.
28:52
Just don't just calm down because you're allowed to suck
28:55
in water. You're just going to exert more
28:57
energy, you know? So I'd say #1 is just don't
28:59
freak out. Which is.
29:02
Which is hard to do, man. Then you're.
29:04
Supposed to Got to let it go, let it, let it carry.
29:07
They say it's not going to carry you as far as you think it is.
29:10
You're going to go just to X amount, you know, feet or meters
29:13
out and then. So the best thing is just to try
29:16
to not use energy and float and keep your breath, you know, and
29:20
and I say a lot of times too and we're all guilty of it.
29:23
You know you come to the beach, you want to drink and and and
29:27
probably not drink enough water and then you want to swim and
29:29
play in the sun all day and you you kind of need to be
29:32
acclimated for that a little bit and just knowing if.
29:40
If you go and the red flags are up, or it's not a good day to be
29:43
in the water, you just can't go in the water and I know it might
29:46
be your own watch. Those.
29:47
Flags. It might be your only trip to go
29:49
that year and it sucks to drive all the way down here.
29:51
Not to get to go in the water, but it just got it.
29:54
Just have to man. Just is what it is.
29:56
Kind of like why when we stop concerts people are mag as we
29:59
evacuate and they're like it's not even storming here but
30:01
there's lightning within 8 miles.
30:03
We have to stop and evacuate. You cannot.
30:05
It's not worth it. It's not worth one person gets
30:08
hurt. It's not worth thousands of
30:09
people having it on. You just can't and.
30:11
You know, on that beach thing. Not at all.
30:13
Those are off calls They still have to make.
30:15
You know you got to make. But you know, those rip
30:18
currents, I mean, those things are real.
30:20
I've, I've been involved in them.
30:21
You know, it's the same thing. And and and like you said, you,
30:24
you have to relax. It's taking you.
30:26
If you try to swim back in, that's not going to work, you
30:28
know, So you go left to right and go slowly and just start and
30:31
you're going to keep going out as you're going left and right.
30:33
Some people start panicking then because it's like I'm not out of
30:35
it and I'm like. It They're only so wide and
30:38
they're only going to take you so far.
30:39
So just chill when you come back in.
30:42
First of all, there's zero reason to ever go past that
30:45
first sandbar. Like, you know, I know growing
30:47
up as a kid, the thing was to go to.
30:48
The second. Sandbar, which was absolutely
30:51
stupid. I have no idea why.
30:52
I used to think that was the coolest thing on earth to go to
30:54
the second sandbar. Without a life jacket.
30:56
Without a life jacket, yeah, it's like, it's like because
30:59
people will say, what about scuba diving?
31:01
I'm like, well, you have a breathing apparatus and a life
31:03
jacket on when you're on in the Gulf.
31:05
Yes. You don't get out here in that
31:06
deep water, man with no. With no life jacket.
31:09
Are you kidding me? It's salt water.
31:10
You breathe in that you do You take a gulp of that salt water?
31:13
Yeah. Oh, you know.
31:15
Yeah. Yeah.
31:16
Good. Good point, though.
31:17
Yeah. Second sandbar.
31:18
Yeah. I I don't you see because the
31:23
people see it on TV or they saw it on TikTok.
31:25
Oh yeah, let me swam to the through that.
31:28
I can't touch in. Yeah, that you're gonna get.
31:33
That's where all the fish are, too, by the way.
31:35
People, I don't. Just so you know.
31:38
I've fished in those little valleys whenever I was in Destin
31:41
and we absolutely smoked them and caught sharks.
31:45
So you know, you know, if it gets I don't like to go out in
31:50
that water beyond waist deep and waist deep can still you can
31:54
still fall. Blasi will tell you how any of
31:57
our buddies that live Grice BJ, any of our buddies that live
32:00
down here on the coast, we don't even go in the Gulf.
32:02
We go in the bays or the old river or somewhere we don't even
32:04
ever go to. I go to the gulf to sit, we sit
32:07
on the beach. To watch the Blue Angels
32:09
sometimes, or watch the sunset in the fall.
32:12
But besides that, we go to the Bay.
32:13
We don't even go to the Gulf. That's where the jellyfish and
32:17
the sharks and the tourists and all that is, We go to the Bay
32:19
where it's safe. Fine.
32:22
That's. Fine.
32:23
Come on in, baby. The.
32:24
Water do whenever I. Live so But yeah, I know.
32:26
We we can think our we can drive out on the beach at UH, at great
32:29
beach and we we enjoy that little cut.
32:33
That would, you know, that ran into the goal.
32:36
That was the perfect, perfect place to set up.
32:38
Whenever I lived there, I was there on Saturday.
32:40
Would they could we hung out and we we were there just about
32:43
everything. Enough to when I needed to go
32:46
take a leak, you know, that's when I walked in there waist
32:48
deep. Yeah, you know, and then walk
32:50
back out. That's perfect.
32:52
Perfect. Well, yeah, well, that's, I
32:54
know, like I said when you got the PSA either way.
32:55
And I wanted to send those RIP's out and and and say condolences
32:59
to all the families of anyone that lost someone.
33:02
During the 4th July holidays and this summer season so far for
33:06
any reason, I know we deal with storms all over the country now
33:09
and droughts and wildfires and everything else.
33:11
So everybody be kind to your neighbors and help each other
33:14
out if you can and tell your friends if they're bored to
33:17
listen to this podcast and we'll we'll give some.
33:20
We'll try to give some healthy advice and stuff when we can,
33:23
but but yeah, we have. It was great time having DDP on.
33:26
He said he would love to come back on anytime and talk about
33:29
it. We're going to keep updated with
33:30
the DDP. Why challenge that?
33:32
Tigs has put on himself and we're going to keep updates with
33:35
that and he's checking on his periodically.
33:37
Still rolling strong, baby. Still rolling strong.
33:41
Yeah. I'm, I'm, I absolutely love the
33:44
program. I'm not going to lie.
33:45
And and my son is doing it with me and you know, I'm holding him
33:51
accountable. He's holding me accountable.
33:53
You know there's some days I'll go in there and be like hey man,
33:55
we got to we got to do Fat Burner 2.0 today.
34:00
And he's like, like maybe we can do it in a little bit.
34:03
I'm like now, man, we got to do it.
34:04
We're doing it now. We're going to do it now.
34:07
And we're going to feel better when we're done with it.
34:09
And every single time we do. Because just the way you stretch
34:13
and so I mean. Yeah, I'm doing it after we we
34:17
wrap up this. I'm doing one tonight so you
34:19
know. If you dig around on that.
34:21
I feel so, if you. Dig around on that app.
34:23
There's so much other cool stuff too, between the meals and the
34:26
videos, the testimonials. I mean in just it's just a lot
34:30
of good content on there, so. Everything that you need to be
34:34
successful if you're. Whatever you're trying to do, if
34:38
you're wanting to lose weight and then you can, you want to
34:41
follow that meal plan, absolutely do that.
34:44
If if you're like me, I'm, I do want to lose weight and I will
34:47
eventually be following the meal plan.
34:49
But right now I just want to get myself back in better shape,
34:53
more flexible, stronger than I've been.
34:56
And I can tell you after I guess I'm in week four or five five,
35:00
I'm in week 5. A million I It's like night and
35:04
day. Yeah.
35:05
My strength compared it like just getting up on.
35:08
I mean I'm 45 years old. Just going down to the floor and
35:11
getting back up ain't like it used to be.
35:13
Yeah. But it is again.
35:16
After four weeks, it is again. I feel like I did when I was or
35:20
in my. Early.
35:21
It really works. Yep.
35:22
It really works. It absolutely.
35:24

35:38
And we're going to workout with him.
35:40
I want to see number one. I'm not ready to workout with
35:43
him yet. Still, I can definitely tell you
35:45
that I'm not prepared, but I will give it my best.
35:48
And he can, he would understand. But now I want to do that
35:52
because I want to see what he will do with Lacey, because I
35:55
think he, I think he will break Lacey, Yeah.
35:57
I mean, he can break anybody, but yes, no.
36:00
I'm gonna go now. I'm gonna give us all I got.
36:02
But yeah, I mean, I know that dude's doing some crazy stuff
36:04
just in description, you know? I mean, I believe it, you know?
36:07
Oh yeah, I've, I've glanced at some of the five diamond.
36:13
Videos just I'm like I want, I want to see what they're doing
36:16

36:20
He would put us through a workout.
36:21
We brought him on the road a few times.
36:22
He put us all the me and the whole band and all of us through
36:24
a workout in the morning and then at the end he would say and
36:27
then if you really want to get, you know, then then one day you
36:30
can do this and he would start doing some shit, y'all feats of
36:33
strength type stuff with that stuff like I mean this.
36:39
Just stuff you can't imagine between flexibility and just
36:42
strength and core strength and standing on your one hand and
36:45
finger push ups and just crazy stuff and we're all like we're
36:50
all over there dying from this hour workout he put us through.
36:53
That's like a a beginner level basically.
36:56
And now in retrospect, yeah, he's over there like he ain't
36:59
even getting loose yet, you know?
37:02
No, no, but it's just easily, yeah, that's like he just got
37:06
out of the head. But he's a friend of the show.
37:09
And he's got great advice and he'd anything going back to that
37:12
on He has a Monday motivational Monday video every Monday.
37:14
You need a little extra kick in the butt.
37:16
Watch that. It's always good.
37:18
It's two or three minutes great. But he's a friend of the show
37:20
and he'll be back and we appreciate his time.
37:22
And everybody go to ddpy.com. Check out Diamond Dallas Page
37:26

37:36
Shark Tank like I do, go back and watch the Shark Tank episode
37:39
when he was on and then see where they're at now.
37:41
I always think that's fun. Yep.
37:45
But since then we've had it seems like since then in the
37:49
past, well we had we talked to JD after that we actually enough
37:52
to. I've kept up with JD some on
37:54
socials. He's been traveling some I know
37:56
they were. They've did a lot of traveling.
37:58
Lately with Europe. And and then back.
38:01
And he's already doing some competition stuff somewhere or
38:03
cooking somewhere. I saw he had some videos up.
38:05
Yep, doing something. I spoke with it actually spoke
38:08
with his wife today. She's going to be here in Baton
38:12
Rouge and was that with the kids and all and telling her a couple
38:15
of places that they they can go. They are wide open. 24/7, both
38:21
of them, They're together. They're separate.
38:23
Go. They're both.
38:24
They're going. I mean, you just go, go, go, go,
38:27
go. It's unbelievable.
38:28
You can't keep. Up that Well, that episode was
38:30
great. If anybody.
38:31
That's some behind the scenes stuff on the how the world of
38:34
competition BBQ works that most people don't know.
38:37
I didn't know and I've been to those competitions didn't know
38:39
exactly how some of those particulars work.
38:41
So I'm sure JD will come on again with us.
38:43
Maybe we can get him own deer and uh Oh yeah, something big
38:46
Memphis in May or something. They're doing something really
38:48
cool. Maybe we can get him to come on.
38:49
We're going to, we're going to have him on a lot more often
38:53
because I believe that number one, we need some of these
38:57
recipes and I think everybody out there listen to this would
39:00
benefit. He's got them, trust me, he has
39:03
got them and and he has some they have new products that are
39:06
coming out. So I mean check them out and I
39:09
know Blacy. Absolutely.
39:12
This the Loco charcoal cooker. That video made a little short
39:16
clip of that. That thing's been rocking and
39:18
rolling out there on the socials, but I want that damn
39:21
thing. I have them all.
39:23
Like I don't need it, but I want it, you know?
39:27
Add it to the collection. So freaking cool, man.
39:31
So what? What else has been going on with
39:34
you, Jr. I know that y'all.
39:37
You're out touring, You're in the middle of the.
39:40
The heat of the summer and recently I've saw a video of
39:44
y'all playing an outdoor festival here in the last week
39:47
or so somewhere. And I mean I I can't keep up.
39:50
Y'all are in different town every night it looks like.
39:54
We've been on the road, you know, I'm trying to think when
39:56
we last recorded and when we when I last gave any updates.
40:00
But the last few weeks, man, we had, we had some some good runs.
40:03
We had a long week leading up to 4th of July.
40:05
Usually we're off during this time, but we decided to work
40:08
this year. I think Fox and Friends.
40:12
Is got we left? OK Yeah.
40:13
We went to we went to New York and did Fox and Friends.
40:15
That was cool experience. Done that a few times over the
40:19
years. They went to Canada the next
40:20
week, played a festival up in Canada.
40:23
That was fun. I got to meet Tim Hicks, who is
40:26
a big artist in Canada that I've been a fan of for a while.
40:29
I got one his guitar picks there, but I got to see him
40:33
finally play. And Mackenzie Porter, and she
40:37
was great, I think. I think she's a Canadian artist
40:40
as well, but she's on Nashville label now.
40:42
But she was really good too. And then we did a few shows.
40:48
Did I did a show on the 24th with the always entertaining Mr.
40:52
Chris Jansen boy, he's a handful.
40:55
Then we went to Dewey Beach, which we do a couple times a
40:58
year. Went out there and played two
40:59
shows. Dewey Beach is kind of like the
41:00
Daytona of Delaware. It's where.
41:03
Everybody from New York, New Jersey, DC area goes to the
41:06
Delaware Shore, Rehoboth Beach, all these different beaches
41:10
along there during the summertime.
41:12
It's only open probably four or five months out of the year Max,
41:16
but it fills up. So we play a club there
41:18
actually, which is we don't. It's one of the only there.
41:20
And Billy Bob's are the only clubs we play every year.
41:24
But it's a cool, it's kind of like the floor Bama, you know,
41:26
it's cross street in the beach, got one big stage, you know 1200
41:29
people or whatever, and we do it two nights in a row.
41:31
So we did that. Went to Foxwoods Casino in
41:35
Mashnatucket, Connecticut, which is beautiful.
41:37
That's the one time was the biggest casino in the world.
41:41
Really cool spot. We played by ourselves there.
41:45
Coreyville, PA Did a show with Granger Smith, who's on the last
41:48
legs of his farewell farewell tour to He's retiring from
41:52
playing music. He's going into ministry work.
41:56
Then so I got home 4th of July afternoon and then had to turn
42:00
around two days later. Went to North Dakota is where
42:02
the videos you were talking about.
42:03
Yeah, we got to do shows. The Bellamy Brothers kick the
42:06
show off, which was cool. Got to meet those guys.
42:09
Got some guitar picks from The Bellamy Brothers, man.
42:11
You just loaded up on this run, didn't you?
42:13
Yep. Dave and Howard.
42:14
Yeah, she they were awesome. And then a new guy of newer
42:19
artist, it's on his way up. Randall King from Amarillo, TX.
42:23
Huge fan of this guy he's going to be.
42:25
He's going to be really good if everything works out he's got.
42:29
You turned you. You told us that and told us we
42:33
need to listen. And I I have listened to a
42:35
handful of songs and. Yeah.
42:37
Oh, yeah, yeah, I get. It the real deal.
42:39
The real deal got that good traditional sound at Texas
42:43
Sound. So it was good.
42:44
And then the direct support for us tonight was outfit that goes
42:48
by Roots and Boots which is. Sammy Kershaw, Aaron Tippin and
42:53
Colin Raye. And they do this combo package
42:55
where all three of them do all their songs.
42:58
They share a big band and they play like a two hour show.
43:01
So I mean it. We were just eat up.
43:03
So it was a long day of music. We didn't go on to like 11:00
43:05
o'clock that night. So then Justin played two hours
43:07
or something. So it was.
43:09
It was. I was.
43:10
I was pretty drained when I flew home yesterday I guess and then
43:15
or day before yesterday. But that was my truth.
43:17
I will say I got a couple cool things while I was out.
43:20
I got this cool hat. I had a I've got a buddy shout
43:22
out that's from New York. He brought me some swag.
43:25
He's with the fire department there.
43:27
He got me this cool challenge coin.
43:30
We get these from time to time. Justin gets a bunch of them.
43:31
I get some sometimes But these cool challenge coins.
43:37
Okay, yeah. And this?
43:39
New York City Task Force. Urban Search and Rescue Task
43:42
Force. And then, you know, it's got the
43:43
cool things. Those things are cool.
43:47
And this one I thought was really cool and I just realized
43:50
what it what it was. When we were getting ready to go
43:52
on, it was the NY Fire and Rescue.
44:01
But look how they did it. It's Wu Tang.
44:05
Oh yeah, that's the wootang. Cool is that?
44:08

44:23
New Shaolin, New York, you know? Oh, hell yeah.
44:27
You know what? I think that, that, that's,
44:29
that's the tone for me for the rest of this evening.
44:31
Cool. Yeah.
44:33
I'm going to jump into some. Yeah, give me some ODB tonight.
44:38
So that that's it. That's it.
44:39
Traveling around with my buddy Justin making country music
44:42
trying to get home at one piece. Same old, same old.
44:45
And since I've been home we had a we got a text last night from
44:49
our the most famous member of this get of this panel Mr. Blacy
44:53
that. Another viral moment.
44:56
You wrote another YouTube show last night as a as a as a as a
45:02
would be short short segment guest turned into an hour and a
45:08
half full blown hell I guess cohost for for the show.
45:13
It's a it must have been. Pretty much.
45:16
So. Tell everybody, where were you
45:19
on last? Night.
45:21
So Bubba the Love Sponge, you know, listening to him, he
45:24
recently is connected with this guy who's become this sensation
45:28
like on Blaze TV and over the Internet.
45:31
He's like a political comedian. Slash he just makes fun of
45:38
political correctness and and he's more.
45:40
Conservative, right. So he's going after, I mean,
45:42
some crazy stuff that he does like he's the one with the
45:45
Britney Griner thing. His name's Alex Stein, and I
45:48
don't know if you saw Britney Griner, Right.
45:49
Right. Okay, he's the one.
45:51
Who is following him? That's Alex Stein.
45:52
Oh, my God. So I've been listening to him
45:56
and him and. Bubba.
45:56
Connected and they've hung out a little bit and.
46:00
Man, he's just off the rails, you know, He's really smart.
46:03
But he does this crazy, you know, whole skit.
46:05
His shows craziest. It's oh, he knows what.
46:07
He's doing. He knows what he's.
46:09
Doing. He knows exactly what he's
46:10
doing. Yeah, absolutely.
46:11
And well, anyway, I've been listening to him.
46:13
I'm laying down last night. I get on my phone and I get a
46:16
notification saying, Alex Stein's going live, you know,
46:19
And I'm like, let's watch this. And I click on it and it was a
46:22
weird link to something. It was like, you something.
46:24
And I was like, what is this? And I just click on that and I
46:26
was like, that's not it. Then I go back to the show.
46:29
And I'm sitting there for like 30 seconds and he goes, all
46:32
right, we got people coming on now on on the Zoom, Wait, we got
46:36
Chad Blacey sitting in there. Chad Blacey sitting in there
46:38
waiting on us. And I was like, I mean, it's
46:41
like kind of panicking. I'm like, well, I guess I got to
46:43
go do this now. So I ran out here to the studio
46:45
and had to log out and get back in on my computer, set up
46:48
everything. And yeah, about an hour into it
46:51
and he's going through calls and man, we get on there and just
46:55
get to. Talking to my day, he had some
46:57
insane people that were on there that were absolutely not but
47:01
were. There.
47:03
But it was fun and, you know, talk, then talk a little later.
47:05
And I'm jamming in with him and we're he.
47:08
He left my my mic hot the whole time for like an hour and a
47:11
half. Nobody, I mean, absolutely.
47:15
Look, at one point Blasi absolutely was cohost in the
47:18
thing because he liked the fact that number one, he has a good
47:21
setup, you know, thanks to the podcast.
47:24
Number two, we all we have to agree with this.
47:26
He has the best voice of the three of us.
47:29
It ain't even close. It's and it's natural little
47:33
insight. Whenever I do the backs to the
47:35
backlog stuff, I do the editing and all the the post production
47:39
work. I don't ever have to touch
47:41
Blacy's audio that that you're hearing is untouched, natural
47:47
absolute audio. That's his voice.
47:49
I don't have to do anything to it.
47:51
It's wonderful. And.
47:54
And Alex picked that up. Oh yeah, completely.
47:57
And then he ran. Yeah, he's just basically Co
47:59
hosting. Hey, he he started following me
48:01
on Twitter today too. So that's kind of cool.
48:03
You know, he's got 600,000 followers almost, you know,
48:06
there. So that's a good little, you
48:08
know, that's a that's an interesting one for sure.
48:11
So stay tuned for that one folks here.
48:14
No telling where the hell this thing will go from this point.
48:17
You know, again, we don't want to be too political on this
48:21
show, but but hey, you know, we're willing, we're willing to
48:25
play around, have a little fun with Alex Stein.
48:28
I mean, yeah. It's just this shows for
48:31
entertainment and Inside on a blimp.
48:33
And. And Southern Colt from.
48:35
Time 99, Pimp on a pimp on a blimp, Baby, Any, any.
48:42
You know, anything, anything goes on Tigs bits, no doubt.
48:46
Well man, that's killer. So what?
48:49
So we'll have you have you've got links to that on your
48:51
Twitter as well. Lacy.
48:52
Yes, I do. Yep.
48:53
So that's all of my Twitter on the SRB Trojan.
48:57
So you can go there and check it out.
48:58
I. Know and.
49:00
And you can go to to the Tigs Bits podcast.
49:03
I've also retweeted the link to that show if you want to watch
49:07
the whole 2 hours of a Zoom chaos.
49:11
Meeting. It's the ultimate in a zoom
49:13
meeting with just pure chaos. But he, man, he's just a
49:18
freaking good host. So, I mean, that was the first
49:21
time that he's done that too, that kind of format.
49:24
Never done that before. He did decide to open it up a
49:26
little bit to the community. He showed what a throwing.
49:28
Was I will have to tell you I have to hit him up.
49:30
Let it getting his Dms and let him know if he needs a cohost.
49:33
Just give you a heads up, you'll be ready.
49:35
Be ready to roll. He did ask him that.
49:37
He did. I believe that we.
49:39
I mean we're going to have to hold on to Blasi as long as we
49:42
freaking can Handler because he's moving.
49:46
I think he may move past us at some point and just go on.
49:50
I mean and and it's fine. I want to see you fly, baby.
49:53
That's how. I mean I'm here for it.
49:56
But but yeah, Alex wants him to start doing voiceover work so
50:00
God knows where this could go and and I hope it happens he
50:05
would be he'd be smart. To do it.
50:07
And if he only knew half of the things that we've talked about
50:10
off of the air, that would absolutely benefit him.
50:18
You know, I'm just saying it's there.
50:21
Yeah, and that's the thing that's going to keep happening,
50:23
you know, Cuz I don't want to. We don't need to tease it too
50:25
far. I know we've teased it a little
50:27
bit, but I know Blacey's talked to a handful of people that are
50:29
going to be great guests here on the podcast in the next couple
50:32
of months. Tigs has got some great ideas on
50:35
some angles we're going to use. I've got some tricks in my bag
50:38
as always. So I say stay tuned to this.
50:42
I say stay tuned to this podcast because we're going to have some
50:45
great guests, some great conversations, some great
50:48
recipes, some tips, some some some you know, some what we did
50:52
wrong, what you might could steer away from some things
50:55
we've seen that working right. Maybe we all can lean into, you
50:57
know some this and some of that so.
50:59
We appreciate everybody listening to each and every week
51:02
and downloading and clicking and liking, subscribing and rating
51:05
and all that stuff because those numbers and that kind of stuff
51:08
is going to help drive the podcast to where we can get the
51:11
help we need to to expand and and get it to to where it's it's
51:15
it's really what the dream Tigs had when he started this thing
51:18
and it's all coming together now week by week and it it couldn't
51:22
happen without the people who support the show.
51:23
So appreciate y'all for that and yeah, I'm excited because I
51:27
know. From internal talks before and
51:30
