- 0:00Welcome back to Tigs Bits. This week, Blasi and I give our
- 0:03state of the program address. We talk about the wild run that
- 0:07we've had this summer, the Bubba Fly effect, if you will.
- 0:11We talk about some of our plans in the future with the show and
- 0:14a whole whole lot more. Look, we have gained a ton of
- 0:18new listeners, followers and subscribers this year and we're
- 0:22so grateful for all of you out there.
- 0:25Thank you so, so much. Let's jump into it.
- 0:33What a run we have had on TIGS Bits for the last last couple of
- 0:39months. All it all started with with
- 0:42Bubba the Love Sponge and I know that we we're going to talk more
- 0:46about this and go a little more in depth with it.
- 0:49With it, whenever Jr. the handler can join us soon he's on
- 0:52the road with Justin Moore touring.
- 0:55So you know, hey, it's tough. He's tough to catch.
- 0:58We love it. Whenever we can have him in
- 1:00here, you know. So much has happened since that
- 1:03fateful day. What was that?
- 1:04June? The first on a Thursday?
- 1:07The morning we got a phone call saying that Bubba had found our
- 1:11little tiny podcast that we pieced together.
- 1:15I mean, breathe. I mean, just breathe life into
- 1:17that thing and send it out there and send us out there, man.
- 1:20What a trajectory of growth that we've had since then.
- 1:23Dude, it's been crazy. Absolutely.
- 1:26Oh dude, it's been nuts. The Bubba Army is so strong.
- 1:29Look, we we need to thank all of them.
- 1:31Thank you Bubba Army. So many new followers.

- 1:41Podcast on Instagram. TikTok.
- 1:43YouTube everywhere, dude. Everywhere.
- 1:46Twitter X. Pardon me, XXI guess I anywhere
- 1:53that there's social media you can post videos anywhere like
- 1:57that we're on there. Google us, Tigs bits will pop
- 2:01up. We're the first thing that pops
- 2:02up. So I mean it's we got to give a
- 2:05lot, a lot of thanks and a lot of credit to to Bubba for
- 2:11putting us on the map so to speak.
- 2:13You know what I mean? It's we were having fun cruising
- 2:16along and then he discovered your beautiful voice and and now
- 2:22here we. Are here we are.
- 2:23And it's like he took us and we're hanging out, just messing
- 2:27around on the side. And he grabbed us and ran us out
- 2:31on the middle of the stage and just stood us there.
- 2:33We all, we all we had on was like boxers, you know, like, Oh
- 2:36my God, we're not ready for this yet.
- 2:39But it made us really step our game up and look at each other
- 2:42and say, hey, I know we've been having fun and we we're still
- 2:44having fun, but like, we need to take this more serious.
- 2:46Absolutely, we're having. Fun and in the ripple effect was
- 2:49our our cohost Jr. when we really, you know, started
- 2:52getting this, you know, movement, you know, then it
- 2:55opened up some doors for us, for people that he knew immediately,
- 2:59you know, I mean it really, it triggered, it triggered a lot of
- 3:02the train chain reaction that that Bubba created.
- 3:05Got to give him props, I mean. I just don't know where we would
- 3:09be. Absolutely.
- 3:10We'd still be going, but I don't know.
- 3:12We wouldn't be what we are right now had he not discovered.
- 3:14No, not at all. No, not at all.
- 3:18It's insane. So I mean, think back February,
- 3:21we started filming recording shows again, took a break
- 3:25toward, you know, took a break at the end of the year, kind of
- 3:28just like, hey, let's, let's hop back in this, man.
- 3:31Let's give it another run. We gave it a good run and in
- 3:342022 and I think we did 19 episodes that whole year, which
- 3:39I was more than happy about, you know, learned how to do it.
- 3:42It was all audio only because the video was not up to snuff.
- 3:46Not what up not what, what I wanted, what you wanted, what we
- 3:49want to present out there to people.
- 3:52So I said hey, let's we kind of retweaked the show a little bit,
- 3:55tweaked it said we're going to do it.
- 3:56We're going to let's do it this way.
- 3:59If you would have told me, we would have Bubba the Love's
- 4:01interest and and and love from Bubba the Love Sponge to to
- 4:05begin to propel us. We have the Troy Trojan head
- 4:09coach John Some roll on the show.
- 4:12We have Diamond Dallas Freaking Page on the show.
- 4:17I mean, Dang, you know, I mean, as you can tell, the DDPY
- 4:22program is not really taking a large effect into TIGS at the
- 4:27moment. But I'm still doing it and still
- 4:29love it. And then, you know, then Marty
- 4:32Smith and then Taylor Hicks. Taylor freaking Hicks.
- 4:37I mean, it just keeps going on and on.
- 4:40It's an insane. I don't.
- 4:42Yeah, we have. The fun of this for us is that
- 4:45we have no idea who, who, what or how it's going to keep
- 4:51coming. You and I can get on here and
- 4:53talk all the time and people seem to like like that too,
- 4:57whenever we do do that. So that's that's great and thank
- 5:00all y'all for for supporting us and supporting the show.
- 5:03But man, it is so fun when we can get some of these guests in
- 5:06here. It's just a lot of, you know, a
- 5:09lot of things have been answered.
- 5:11And some of these folks that have been coming in, like Taylor
- 5:14Hicks and Marty Smith, like all of them, all of them are like
- 5:19people that if I could put on a list of the folks that you'd
- 5:22like to drink a beer with, talk to, visit with, like all of
- 5:27these people are on that list before.
- 5:29If I wrote this list in February, they're all on this
- 5:32list. Oh yeah.
- 5:32All of them. That's a great list.
- 5:34I mean, it's just it's it's it's madness.
- 5:37It is absolutely madness. I mean, you know how this
- 5:39started and where we are and what's cool too is watching
- 5:42Like, I mean, dude, I didn't come from any broadcast
- 5:46journalism background. We're just dudes that got in
- 5:48here, started talking. But man, I so much, you know,
- 5:52I've always appreciated, you know, somebody does a great job
- 5:55announcing a football game, hosting a radio show, whatever
- 5:59it is. I've always been like, man, that
- 6:00is like unbelievable. They can do that at that level.
- 6:03I've had mad respect for those people for years.
- 6:05When you get in here and you start trying to bring something
- 6:07like, not necessarily that level, but you're still trying
- 6:10to be your best to you and your best self.
- 6:13And dude, you know each week I'll go back and look at the
- 6:15show and critique something I'm doing and go OK, I need to do
- 6:17better here. I need to do sometimes I'm Oh
- 6:20yeah. I didn't listen well you know he
- 6:22he just said something. I came back and asked the same
- 6:24question. You know it's like oh man, I
- 6:25thought I'll listen better than that.
- 6:27I need to do a better job of listening.
- 6:28You know. So dude it's been fun just from
- 6:30personal growth and how it's it helped me also impact me in my
- 6:33job, my day job when I go out there and the confidence that I
- 6:37have and you know and. And you know I had to do a
- 6:41bigger presentation not too long ago and do that's the calmest
- 6:44and coolest I've ever been doing a presentation.
- 6:47It was like this is no pressure. I mean, we're talking to
- 6:501,000,000 right here, you know, so 20 people, we really are.
- 6:57Yeah. No, I know it's crazy.
- 6:59I mean, I've I've had some of those same experiences working.
- 7:02I sell insurance and and sitting there visiting with people, it
- 7:07just feels like it's a whole different conversation.
- 7:10Not that I was, you know, I don't, I know the stuff that I'm
- 7:13talking about with insurance. I know the stuff that we're
- 7:15talking about on here, it's just like you say, it's that
- 7:18confidence that that just kind of comes from doing this.
- 7:22We do it a lot. We're, you know, there's a lot
- 7:24of shows out there folks that y'all have not ever seen.
- 7:27They haven't even been edited. They're just in the basket
- 7:31waiting in the hopper for a rainy day and and the beauty of
- 7:36this whole year is that we haven't had any rainy days.
- 7:40You know we've gone on for 32 or 33 straight weeks at this point.
- 7:46I think we took yeah we took one week off in the in the early
- 7:49summer. Beyond that though man you know
- 7:54we're going to keep coming with content good fresh content.
- 7:57Don't want it to get stale. You know, I don't want you you
- 8:00guys out there to to to hear, you know, we go for six or eight
- 8:04shows and here's a repeat. Now we ain't going to do that to
- 8:06you now towards Christmas after Thanksgiving.
- 8:10We definitely are going to have some best of shows where we
- 8:13where we highlight some of the things.
- 8:15I think it's important to do that.
- 8:18Number one, it's not being lazy. It's harder to edit and piece
- 8:22all of those things together, honestly, than it is for us.
- 8:25To record, it's it's a lot more difficult, it's more time
- 8:29consuming. You have to find it, find what
- 8:31you want to put in all that stuff.
- 8:33I have a good idea already of the first couple that I want to
- 8:36put in there and some of the little clips, 4 or 5 minutes of
- 8:40of an interview out of three or four shows would make a great
- 8:43show. But I think it's important to do
- 8:45that because there are a lot of people that are now listening to
- 8:49the show, that are following the show that they never heard
- 8:52those, they didn't hear those shows necessarily.
- 8:56So you know, you want to keep getting it out there because
- 8:59some of these things, some of these shows and we look at the
- 9:01numbers, a lot of our clips have done extremely, extremely well,
- 9:06hundreds of thousands of views, you know, just craziness.
- 9:10And then some of our shows have not done as well as you would
- 9:13think they would. Some of the, you know, it's just
- 9:16you don't know what what's going to happen, what people want or
- 9:20anything. Like that's kind of part of the
- 9:22fun of it is figuring out what you out there are wanting to
- 9:25listen to from us because we were wanting to have a
- 9:28community. We're wanting to build that
- 9:30community and have people interact with the show on social
- 9:34media and everywhere else. And we're getting that for sure.
- 9:36I mean it's it's crazy the stuff that the comments, the people
- 9:41that follow stuff, people buying coffee mugs and tshirts and
- 9:45like, I mean, it's happened. It is happening.
- 9:48It's happening. And you know, when you get to
- 9:50the the end of the year, we put that together, it'll be like you
- 9:54were saying there's some people hadn't seen the show or they've
- 9:56heard of it or they've watched a piece of it or one show.
- 9:59But that'd be like, you know, hearing of Garth Brooks back in
- 10:02the day and then saying, hey, tell me about this Garth Brooks
- 10:04guy, why don't you go get this greatest hits CD?
- 10:07You know what I mean? That's what that's going to be.
- 10:08You know what I mean? There's that compilation.
- 10:10Put it all together. Here's the greatest hits.
- 10:12Now you can go deeper dive but like.
- 10:15This is going back. I can't wait for that show.
- 10:17I I think it'll be all. And it's exactly like you say,
- 10:20you know, season one, we're in Season 2 now.
- 10:23Season one was like that bootleg album that you had.
- 10:27We hit that. We hit the streets where we've
- 10:28got three or four really good songs.
- 10:31We're warming up. We're just trying to get our
- 10:33name out there, get in front of some people.
- 10:36Season 2 comes, hey, you know that's our No Fences, you know
- 10:40that's our offensive album. Here it is.
- 10:43This is our Thriller Okay. You know this season 2 you you
- 10:48get with a lot of artists. Their second album is it's their
- 10:53first or second, but a lot of times it's their second album
- 10:56that really propels them. They got a little bit of
- 10:59notoriety, a little bit of love, then they go on.
- 11:03So I feel like like thanks to Bubba.
- 11:07Yeah, really. And and thanks to Jr. huge and
- 11:11Huge. Oh, I mean Jr. has been
- 11:14extremely instrumental in in all of this too.
- 11:17It's just been a great partnership for all three of us.
- 11:20Like we've said before it started, it started with Jr.
- 11:24coming on to just visit with us. The next thing you know we have
- 11:29Grammy winning artist you know Hall of Fame wrestlers, Division
- 11:33One coaches is you know shock jocks at the highest level.
- 11:38You know, I mean, yeah, we got what's happened, we got the J.
- 11:41R effect and the Bub effect. Both just boosted us and we just
- 11:45jumped on the way. But I'll tell you what we did do
- 11:47and we got on that wave. To our credit, we we surfed that
- 11:50thing. You know what I mean?
- 11:51We've been surfing it. We have been jumping off it, no.
- 11:53We're going to ride this bad boy to them.
- 11:55Just absolutely crashes and then I'm going to pump in again and
- 11:58try to get it going. That's what's so crazy, you
- 12:02know? I mean, we had some, we had
- 12:05fans, if you will. I mean, it's weird to even say
- 12:09that. I don't, you know, it's just
- 12:11weird to say fans of the show. We had fans of the show, most of
- 12:15which were our friends and family and supporters and you
- 12:20know, like good for you and and all that.
- 12:23But like we legit have fans now. We get messages from people
- 12:27literally all across the world, definitely all across America.
- 12:31But I can see all the demographics and where people
- 12:34watch our shows from and it it's like 86% in America, like
- 12:41there's still 14% that gets watched outside of the United
- 12:44States of our show. That's crazy, something that I
- 12:47never would have thought would have ever been the case, you
- 12:51know, I mean it's it really is wild.
- 12:54And then we have, we have amazing fans like Pam Koontz is
- 12:59who's up in Minden, LA. She won.
- 13:02I did. I did a little contest on social
- 13:04media and never really announced this beyond social media that
- 13:10whoever could guess who this guest was going to be.
- 13:14And I did a profile and it was a profile of DDP.
- 13:17She's a huge wrestling fan. She nailed it.
- 13:20Bam. She nailed it.
- 13:22She got her a cup. She got her a Tigs Bits Tumblr.
- 13:25Yes Sir, she did. And then our friend Paul, you
- 13:29know, Paul, that's on. That's on X and and on other
- 13:32social media too. But that's where we interact
- 13:34with him. The most huge fan of the show, A
- 13:37huge fan of Justin Moore. Yeah, which is which thanks to
- 13:42to Jr. We definitely have some
- 13:44crossover fans that are Justin Moore fans.
- 13:47We don't want to leave you guys isolated out there either.
- 13:49Thank you so much for tuning in and and listen to our
- 13:53shenanigans, you know? But it's just such a hodgepodge
- 13:59of a network of fans and people that are following us now that
- 14:04I, we couldn't have just asked for better.
- 14:07We couldn't ask for a better following that we have.
- 14:11I mean, and it's just going to keep getting better and better.
- 14:13But I mean you can't design this kind of stuff.
- 14:17There is not some marketer in New York City who can be like,
- 14:20well, this is how you're going to do it.
- 14:21You're going to do this, this and this and you're going to get
- 14:24that, that and that. No, it always happened
- 14:26organically and I think that's something that we should be
- 14:29proud. Of we just started doing it and
- 14:31we're, you know, even like. What direction do we go in?
- 14:34We don't even, you know, like, I don't know.
- 14:36I'll tell you what things we like to talk about.
- 14:38And now we've actually found a niche in that in the sense that
- 14:41even if we have the head coach for Troy on, we're probably
- 14:43going to be talking about eating some good food, listen some good
- 14:47music, you know what I mean? Like we're going to get into
- 14:49these things and if you believe in aliens, aliens, activity.
- 14:53Do you know Bubba the Love Sponge?
- 14:56And do you know, it's funny, it's like we had Carter on here.
- 15:00And what nobody saw in that interview is after we were done,
- 15:03he said something you we were talking about we we didn't even
- 15:07mention Bubba's name and he said something like what you got.
- 15:09You know something about Howard Stern going to come in there and
- 15:12it was like, well, we got Bubba love Sponge and he's like Bubba
- 15:15and it's like we I never would have thought that he knew who
- 15:17Bubba was. He knew Bubba well, right.
- 15:19It was like totally enthralled with that.
- 15:21It's like what we I guess we should open up with that maybe
- 15:23we should open up that with every guest.
- 15:25Maybe we should you know, Bubba Love Sponge.
- 15:27How do you feel about that? Absolutely.
- 15:29It's a good question and could go either way. 100%, You don't
- 15:33know. I mean, it could completely ruin
- 15:36an interview too. At the very beginning, just
- 15:38right off the bat. You know, if let's face facts,
- 15:41Bubba has rubbed a few people the wrong way over the years,
- 15:45you know, the more I've gotten into Bubba, I love Bubba.
- 15:48I think he's awesome. So and look total total Bubba
- 15:52rookie when this whole deal began.
- 15:54I've learned I've listened a lot.
- 15:56Watch the show religiously now you know and and definitely keep
- 16:01up with little clips and stuff but dude, you know and that's
- 16:05it. That's a That's a good question.
- 16:06That's What do you know about What do you know about Bubba
- 16:11Loves and welcome to the show. You know, Bubba, that's son of a
- 16:17bitch, that mother. Yeah.
- 16:21So yeah, it's a good idea. It's a very decisive, decisive
- 16:25and divisive. Well, you know, I mean question.
- 16:29Hey, worst case, let's spark some juice in this interview.
- 16:32You know what I mean? Maybe we maybe we have our first
- 16:33confrontation with a guest. You know, shake them down.
- 16:38You know what happen? Give me facts.
- 16:39Show me facts. Show me.
- 16:42I need to see facts from you that Mike Calter did not steal
- 16:45that tape and did not disseminate that.
- 16:47The Gawker. Show me you can't prove it
- 16:48because it happened and it's in court records.
- 16:50Like we're just wearing our guest out over there.
- 16:57I don't think it's a bad idea and I think that that's
- 17:00something that could happen in 2024 as as we yeah, we don't
- 17:05want to reveal too many of our plans.
- 17:07But I think this is kind of one of those shows where there may
- 17:11be something that slipped in here, may not get a lot of
- 17:14attention. This show, it may not get
- 17:16watched a lot or whatever, but there may be some absolute
- 17:19Nuggets in here. Like we are definitely going to
- 17:23go live at some point. We will advertise that before we
- 17:28do it, but we're going to go live, Alex Stein style.
- 17:32Yeah, you can come and be a part of this show and we're going to
- 17:36record a live show. We're going to record a show
- 17:38with you guys out there, the fans.
- 17:41Yes Sir. We're going to be our own pimp
- 17:44on a blimp. And yeah, and I mean that's
- 17:48going to be fun. I look forward to it.
- 17:50Not quite prepared today to do that technology technologically,
- 17:56I guess you could say, but we're not far from it.
- 17:58We're we're, we're right there. It's just a matter of matter of
- 18:02time. Need some more you guys?

- 19:11feedback. It's getting in interaction with
- 19:13our community out there, with the people that interact, like
- 19:16we just want more interaction with the show.

- 19:44knows they make the best microphones so.
- 19:46They do. They do.
- 19:47And I bet. I bet.
- 19:48When they ship those things, I bet.
- 19:50They use Tyler Transport. Tyler Transport, one of the best
- 19:53trucking companies in America, is located in Troy, AL Leon
- 19:57Hussey runs Tyler Transport in Troy.
- 20:00There's anything that you need to be moved.
- 20:02He's your guy to move it. No matter.
- 20:04What it is, He moves. Wait, while we're plugging
- 20:06people here, let's just go ahead and get the plug plugs out of
- 20:10the way. I got to thank my good folks at
- 20:12By You 47. They do engravings, Chad, these
- 20:15custom engravings and wood plastics.
- 20:19I mean anything that you can pretty much dream up they can do
- 20:23like this for instance this is this is one of the engravings it
- 20:27sets a Tommy Tanks from a LSU baseball you know but but just I
- 20:33mean they can do, they can engrave anything.

- 20:45I'd like to have a tigs bit wood.
- 20:46Oh, we're getting engraved thing.
- 20:48Well, there's some things that, uh, there's some things that
- 20:52behind the scenes that have been happening.
- 20:55We call it the lab. I I like to I hang out with my
- 20:58buddies Chad and Tommy and and and and we we play around in the
- 21:03lab a little bit with stuff but they there's some cool things
- 21:07it's beyond wood things that light up.
- 21:10Things that can have backlights. Dude it it's insane.
- 21:14The stuff that you can do with a laser engraver and and and that
- 21:19Gator Millworks, my friends at Gator Millworks, same owners,
- 21:23different companies. OK, they want to make.
- 21:26You said this. I was like this is so much like
- 21:28Gator Millworks, like they just do bigger stuff.
- 21:30They this is, Yep, Yep. Gator Millworks can also make
- 21:35custom cabinets and they're having requests now with custom
- 21:39cabinets that have your names and stuff like that.
- 21:44Oh. My gosh, you could, you could
- 21:45say messages on that thing. You know what I mean?
- 21:47Like, Oh yeah, they can print QR codes into the wood.
- 21:51Wow. Just all kinds of stuff.
- 21:52The fine folks at Gator Mill works?
- 21:54Man out my friends. They do seriously have the
- 21:57mosts. I sold hardwood, lumber, and
- 21:59molding for many years. That's how you and I met
- 22:02whenever I lived in Florida and I went in a lot of cabinet shops
- 22:07and I went in a lot of cool cabinet cabinet shops, saw some
- 22:09cool, a lot of cool stuff. But I've never been in one.
- 22:13That is his high tech as Gator Millworks is.
- 22:17I look forward. I'll be doing a show at some
- 22:19point there, you know, behind the scenes and all of that.
- 22:23Chad has been Chad Foster is his name.
- 22:26He's been on podcasts recently in the woodworking industry and
- 22:30stuff like that. TIGS bits is a little bit looser
- 22:34than some of those shows, if you know what I mean.
- 22:37Let's plug away until maybe somebody plugs some us with
- 22:40something. Oh, I mean, here's what I say.
- 22:42The folks at Gator Millworks, I say cheers to you.
- 22:45And if you were here in Hammock Bay right now, we would go up to
- 22:48Props Brewery. Props Brewery has some of the
- 22:51best beer locally brewed with the most phenomenal brewery like
- 22:56housing situation you've ever seen.
- 22:58There's this. 5000 square foot building, beautiful like
- 23:01concrete stain floors, all finished, you know, with raw
- 23:04wood all the way up, big beams in there.
- 23:07Then outside is this monster structure all under like the
- 23:12cover. It's like 4050 feet tall this
- 23:15thing is. And like, there's even a World
- 23:17War 2 airplane hanging out underneath that bands up there
- 23:20hanging out. You just saw the windmills that
- 23:23they added. I sent you a picture that they
- 23:25had to add. I don't know why, but a big wind
- 23:27giant windmill on top of it, then another windmill.
- 23:29And then today I came by and they added a third on top of the
- 23:32stage out there I was. Like, well, I was like a
- 23:35windmill for a windmill factory going on here, so.
- 23:38That that place in school, Good beer, Good Times Props Brewery
- 23:42in Freeport, FL in Hammock Bay. The fine folks at Back Beach BBQ
- 23:48reached out. Yes, they did.
- 23:50I tried to get the dude on. I mean, you may need to go back
- 23:52by there. But I did.
- 23:53They they thanked us. It seemed like it was his wife
- 23:56or you know somebody on Facebook that thanked us over there and I
- 24:02or I think it was him, somebody tagged him the the chef the
- 24:05cook, yeah in it and and I responded back to like we'd love
- 24:10to have you on the show and he never responded.
- 24:13I mean, he's busy cooking and running the restaurant.
- 24:15He's got another restaurant down there.
- 24:16Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I don't want.
- 24:18I want him to be. I want him to be cooking.
- 24:20Yeah, he needs to be cooking. But I need, we need one hour
- 24:24from him, you know, about 7:30 at night after he's had a couple
- 24:26cold beers. Just hop on here for a little
- 24:28bit. Let's talk a little Q.
- 24:30But you know. Hopefully that'll happen.
- 24:32Like, even take this show on the road.
- 24:34I'd go down to Back Beach BBQ, take my equipment, take two mics
- 24:37and we'll sit down and back Beach Barbecue and host this
- 24:39thing. We need to do some start to do
- 24:42stuff like that too. I mean we're just not that we
- 24:44hadn't been there yet. That's 2024, so gross, you know.
- 24:47Like the things that we know that we want to still do, that
- 24:50we haven't even touched yet. I mean, even some ideas and
- 24:53different directions that we're thinking about taking this show.
- 24:56I mean, like we're just getting started, man.
- 24:58And that's one thing I do know really are.
- 25:00And it's almost. It's like there's so many things
- 25:03that we want to do. It's not like we don't have
- 25:04ideas and we're getting bored and we're getting complacent.
- 25:08No, man, we're so I mean it's not at all if the if the board
- 25:12in my actually is bored over here.
- 25:13But in my mind was up. It was just there's so much
- 25:15stuff and so many directions and so many things that we want to
- 25:19do and it's going to be fun. Like it's it's all about adding
- 25:22juice, excitement, energy, laughter.
- 25:26I mean, like. Having fun.
- 25:28You know, like that's that's what it's about.
- 25:30I mean, that's like that's what it's all about.
- 25:33Yeah, like though, Yes. I want anybody who's listening
- 25:37to this, anybody, whoever comes in and and gives us a shot.
- 25:40You know, I'm. I'm grateful for the opportunity
- 25:44for someone to listen to our show, whatever it is that we're
- 25:47talking about. You know, we're just some
- 25:49regular old dudes who and just decided to put some stuff out
- 25:54there and and just talk and seems to be, you know, the
- 25:58feedback's good. It's just it's just nice.
- 26:01It's nice that that it that people are accepting of it, that
- 26:04it's growing that people want more.
- 26:07And it's it's also a little bit shocking because if you would
- 26:10have told me a year ago in September of 2022 when a lot was
- 26:17going on, it was a struggle to make shows and didn't have the
- 26:22video capabilities and stuff that we do now, if you'd have
- 26:26told me where we were at now, I would have never believed it.
- 26:30I would have never believed it. I knew what we were going to try
- 26:33to do and keep growing. And the whole thing that I told
- 26:36you before we even started to film in February of this year
- 26:41was, you know, we're going to go hard in 2023 and we're going to
- 26:46see what is going to happen with this show.
- 26:49And that may be it. We're going to do a full, a full
- 26:53Season 2 and we'll make a determination.
- 26:56Well, hell, we're we're not. We weren't even halfway through
- 26:59Season 2 and there ain't no doubt there'll be a season
- 27:02three, you know, so 2024 is a definite.
- 27:06Oh yeah, there's there's tons of momentum and energy.
- 27:09I mean we still have our day jobs and do those, but you know
- 27:13the cool thing is we've got it so down now you do 95%.
- 27:20If you had to put all the work that goes into the show, I'll
- 27:22say you do 95% of the actual like time labor intensive stuff.
- 27:27Us just showing up here for 3045 minutes or an hour is nothing,
- 27:35you know so. You know it's it takes a, you
- 27:37know it takes some work, but you've gotten way more efficient
- 27:40to where it doesn't take away from.
- 27:42You can still do your job now you've gotten you figured this
- 27:44out. Yep, working, doing things long
- 27:46weekends, editing and doing stuff like that where you
- 27:49consumed your whole weekend. And then now you've got it where
- 27:52you can do it in a couple hours, you know what I mean?
- 27:54But it's still I can, yeah. So yeah, it's, you know, we we
- 27:57we can turn. There's no reason we can't keep
- 27:59doing this. There's not like, oh man, I
- 28:00don't have nothing 25 hours a week to spend on it.
- 28:03You know, it's like you don't need that.
- 28:05Not at all, not at all. We've gotten it down and and and
- 28:08can think a lot with artificial intelligence, AI.
- 28:12You know, we can think AI a lot. Well, you talked about the first
- 28:16of the year of this show, what AI would be?
- 28:18And where it would be and how to be impacting people in different
- 28:21arenas it towards the end of this year.
- 28:24But think about how it's just impacted you and what you're
- 28:26having to do with this show. Oh like, but since it's all
- 28:29this, right, I mean that that's kind of crazy.
- 28:32I mean, like, it's a personal impact, not just like what it's
- 28:34doing for for medicine or science or.
- 28:37Writing music or all these other things that are more
- 28:40controversial like now this is just genuinely helps you be able
- 28:44to edit a show productivity. Yeah.
- 28:47And it actually, it is what the what it was designed for.
- 28:50You know it's to be help you to be more productive and it
- 28:54absolutely does man. I mean AI is our paid assistant.
- 29:00Yes, I pay for some of these things, but it's well worth it,
- 29:04you know, I mean, I pay for a thing that helps us to edit the
- 29:07videos. Part of the The hardest part of
- 29:10editing a video was to cut it up into the different clip or the
- 29:14when the camera switches from you to me to all that which
- 29:18happens naturally in zoom and and in that software.
- 29:21But I don't like the software. I want to do it when I want it
- 29:24to be to do it. Well, there's artificial
- 29:27intelligence that can help with that.
- 29:29And you know, you just, you pay a little subscription, you put
- 29:33that into Premiere Pro and bam, it cuts it up.
- 29:35That was the hardest part. That took three to five hours.
- 29:39Depending on how long it is, it now takes 5 minutes.
- 29:42That's crazy. 5 minutes it does it all.
- 29:45I just have to get it lined up and ready and then it does it
- 29:49and it and it does it with probably 95% accuracy.
- 29:53I have to. Come to some minimal cleanup,
- 29:55you know, and then very, very minimal cleanup, very minimal
- 29:59cleanup. So I mean that is one way.
- 30:02It's absolutely helped us. We've stayed organized.
- 30:04I use Notion is an app that that a lot of college kids and
- 30:10teachers and stuff like that use my daughter.
- 30:12Let me ask you a question. So from like right now, all the
- 30:16knowledge that you've gained and everything that are the
- 30:19information that you have. I mean for somebody wanting to
- 30:23start up a podcast out there. I'll bet you kind of right now
- 30:28could like, be a consultant to them and say, you know what?
- 30:32Like, here's a turnkey solution almost for you.
- 30:34Like, here's the mic you need, Here's this what you need,
- 30:36here's what you need to do. Here's the editing software as
- 30:39you need. And you could probably do that,
- 30:41part of which I think you do, which is called our Tigs Bit
- 30:44Podcast Production. And he's, you know, so there's
- 30:48your guy right there too. There's another thing if you're
- 30:50ever really if you're wanting to start a podcast and I've talked
- 30:52to people that man, I've always wanted to start a podcast.
- 30:55But they don't know where to start.
- 30:56They don't even understand how to even get it on anywhere.
- 30:58They think that's a magic trick in itself to get it onto a
- 31:01platform. And I do.
- 31:03I don't know how you do it. Like tomorrow if I had to do it,
- 31:05I don't think I could. Chad, get get this podcast and
- 31:07let's start a new. And I want you to put it on
- 31:09Spotify, YouTube and all the I'd be like, huh, I don't know how
- 31:11to do that. You know, like, I'm sure it's
- 31:13simple, but like, if you don't know how to do it, it can be
- 31:16intimidating. Well, that's where Tigs Bits
- 31:18Podcast Productions can help you out.
- 31:20That's right. And that's the guy right there.
- 31:21That's right, yeah. And hey, and Tigs Bits
- 31:24Productions is off and running. I appreciate you mentioning
- 31:27that. I'm working with someone now
- 31:31producing her podcast Behind the Scenes.
- 31:35We're in the infancy stages of it.
- 31:37She doesn't want to make some of the same mistakes that we did
- 31:42and and our shows are different. The show that that I'm producing
- 31:44with that radically different to the show that we that we do
- 31:48here. This is a conversation.
- 31:50It's like 2 dudes sitting in a bar, three or four, however many
- 31:54of us are in there. We're sitting at a bar.
- 31:56We're having a conversation. We're just shooting the bull.
- 31:59Hers is going to be a little bit more labor intensive, a little
- 32:02more in depth and and and frankly pretty pretty damn
- 32:06interesting. So I am excited to see what what
- 32:11all will happen with with my good friend.
- 32:15Jean is her name. And does she have a podcast name
- 32:18yet that she's thought of, that she wants to use she's thought
- 32:20of? She has several names.
- 32:22I guess we're not there then. We've we we're not there.
- 32:25We're not there on the name. Kind of my thoughts with her, as
- 32:30if you don't have a name that just pops out at the beginning.
- 32:32We're not. It's okay.
- 32:34We're not. We're not putting the show out.
- 32:36The name literally can be the last thing that we think of with
- 32:39this. The biggest thing for her is
- 32:42that she has to put the content down.
- 32:44She has to write, write the show.
- 32:47Like, right. The way that this is going to be
- 32:49presented is it's going to be kind of like A and I don't know
- 32:52yet. We're not there, but kind of the
- 32:54way that we're envisioning it. It'll be like a season one deal
- 32:57where she tells her very, very important story and lays at.
- 33:01The foundation for the show, that'll be the foundation is.
- 33:05That'll be the. Thing.
- 33:07And here's why she's doing this. Exactly, exactly.
- 33:09And it may be a short season one.
- 33:12See, because they you know these podcasts, they break it up into
- 33:16Four Seasons. Some will do.
- 33:18And you know like we just do a year as a season.
- 33:21That's Tigs bits. Yeah, philosophy. 2023 is season
- 33:242/20/24 will be season three, but in her case, there may be
- 33:29two seasons in a year and that first season will be telling
- 33:32that very, very important story, laying that foundation down.
- 33:36And then in the second season, she has a ton of guests, a ton
- 33:41of interesting people that she can sit down then start to have
- 33:45conversations like we do, you know, in our show where pick a
- 33:49topic that week and and let's talk about it, go back to
- 33:53something that she talked about in the season, one of that
- 33:56podcast with one of the friends, one of the guests, whatever talk
- 34:00about it. So it I look forward to look
- 34:03forward to it all getting done. That'll be coming hopefully,
- 34:07hopefully it'll be coming in 2024.
- 34:09You know there's a lot of work left left to do.
- 34:12So if you're listening to this, Gene quit and go right, quit.
- 34:21She's heard me say that. What she's heard me say that way
- 34:24too much, I do believe. I'll name the first one, you
- 34:27know, whatever, laying it out, I mean, you could say anything,
- 34:31you know? Larry's fun day.
- 34:34Like, you know, like it don't matter.
- 34:35Like somewhere in Larry's, man. I mean, it's fine.
- 34:37The name of our show is TIGS Bits OK, and it has been very
- 34:41confusing for folks apparently. It has been and you know, back
- 34:46back to the Bubba thing. We were getting ready at one
- 34:49time. We were debating.
- 34:51Because you had started the show by yourself and it was 6 bits
- 34:53and you were telling me about great idea and the name's great.
- 34:55I mean, it's really grown. Yeah, I liked it to begin with.
- 34:58It's not like that. But when we became a three of a
- 35:00show, we were like, maybe we should rebrand this and come up
- 35:03with something else that's more fitting to all three.
- 35:06And then suddenly Bubba blew us up and it was like I even we
- 35:09didn't have enough time. Love me a message on that.
- 35:11The other day it was like, well, we were thinking about changing,
- 35:13but now we're kind of stuck with it.
- 35:15And he just laughed, you know? Yet you're stuck.
- 35:17You know, it's like you're stuck.
- 35:18I mean, because Bubba still can't say it.
- 35:20Bubba was like big, big, big whips, dips, tips.
- 35:23I mean it's like and it even Lummy corrects him and goes,
- 35:26it's tiggy bits. It's like, Oh my gosh, it's it's
- 35:28actually become. Like, I got almost a joke, you
- 35:32know, like, dude, I mean, I get it.
- 35:34It's crazy. I was at the theater the other
- 35:36day. We go to see a movie.
- 35:38I'm wearing the Tigs bit shirt. So was Riley didn't mean to do
- 35:42it. It was a literally was a total
- 35:44accident. We just both walked out wearing
- 35:47the same shirt and I was like, dude, I'm going to go change my
- 35:50shirt and he's like, I want just wear the same shirt.
- 35:53Dad and I went, OK, he's he's 11 and this probably won't ever
- 35:57happen again and he's probably never going to want to do the
- 36:00twinsies thing. So let's do it.
- 36:02So we roll on and we we go to the theater and yeah, and this
- 36:08this guy that was, we got popcorn you know refreshments,
- 36:12whatever. And he's, he sees the shirt and
- 36:14he's just like tickle, bidding, tickle, bidding, tickle.
- 36:18I was like, Oh my God, this is so great.
- 36:22I've had to explain to Riley because people will be like, oh,
- 36:25I misread that shirt, man. I thought it said something
- 36:28else. I get that all the time, you
- 36:30know, it's like, oh Lord. But it's part of the fun.
- 36:32Oh, it is. I mean, John, Summer all was
- 36:33scared to come on the show because he thought it was
- 36:35something else. He really was.
- 36:37You know it's amazing the list of the get the A list guests
- 36:42that have come on to this show despite the name.
- 36:48So I mean if we made it through this, yeah, they they still are
- 36:51willing to come on and give it a shot which is that I think
- 36:54partially thinks to they must go and see that okay, these guys
- 36:59are, you know, I mean they talk about UFO's and everything else
- 37:02but they don't they're not total they're not Alex Jonesing over
- 37:05here but but we'll tap dance with Alex if he wants to bring.
- 37:09On Alex, let's talk to Alex. Alex Jones And then I'm going to
- 37:14bring in Alex Stein to confront him, like, you know, I mean,
- 37:18like, well, we'll be just playing him, honestly.
- 37:19Perfect. That'd be great, wouldn't it,
- 37:21Alex Boy? Alex Stein apparently is
- 37:24apparently suing the city of Frisco.
- 37:27Plano Plano, I saw that. Did you watch that video?
- 37:32No, I didn't. I know what it don't watch the
- 37:34whole YouTube. Actually, I had to go over the
- 37:36top. It's just him telling him how
- 37:38he's going to do that and how he's fishing it.
- 37:41What he say he's going to come in and get his, uh, breadstick
- 37:45from, uh, Olive Garden breadstick buffet money, right.
- 37:48You know, like y'all understand how we in style.
- 37:50I'm fixing to be up in here. I win this lawsuit.
- 37:53That dude's another land. He's not.
- 37:55Oh, he is. He is a nut.
- 37:57I mean and that's another there's another little nuance of
- 38:01the six bit story. This year we've had some
- 38:04interactions, Chad has had interactions.
- 38:06Blasi, the one man posse has been owned with Alex Stein more
- 38:11than once on his Sunday night podcast show, which if you're
- 38:14not familiar, we talked about that earlier that we want to
- 38:17have a show where it's interactive, you guys can come
- 38:20in and join and just kind of working on how to do that.
- 38:23Well, he does that and has a live show on Sunday night and
- 38:27he'll have 10 or 15 of his fans that are in there.
- 38:31He lets them in the room and they can interact and and Blasi,
- 38:33the one man Posse has been on there more than once.
- 38:36We were all on there one night. We were at Jr. the Handler's
- 38:39house and just. That was a good one.
- 38:42Just crazy. Crazy, crazy.
- 38:44Missed in the last couple of weeks.
- 38:45I was going to go on two Sunday nights ago or I didn't know the
- 38:48exact time because he never really announces.
- 38:50It just happens and. And then his producer told me
- 38:54not. They typically try to do it
- 38:55every Sunday around 9:00 PM Central time.
- 38:59So now I know, but he didn't really say, you know, this
- 39:02evening, He didn't announce it. He just says live.
- 39:05You know, like it'll just come on Twitter, like, oh, it's time
- 39:07to go. But yeah, the last couple Sunday
- 39:10nights I've missed him two or three or whatever.
- 39:12But I'm, I'm really tempted this Sunday night.
- 39:14I think I'm going to have to hop back in there with them, Let
- 39:17them know. That I'm back.
- 39:20Who is that guy from Twitter that you sent me that that goes
- 39:23out that storm chaser? Oh, Jeff Protowski.
- 39:26Oh my God, you sent me here that, that link.
- 39:29And I started watching his footage and I got up that
- 39:32morning early like at 4:30 or five, like like I always wake up
- 39:35and dude, I was watching that and this guy is out in that
- 39:38parking lot. Transformers or he's exploding.
- 39:40He's like I'm waiting for the light to crack.
- 39:42And he's so intense what he can deliver in content and tell you
- 39:46about a storm and about. 45 seconds.
- 39:49It'll take most guys like on TV, like 1015 minutes.
- 39:54Yeah, that's crazy. He's like, yeah, he flies
- 39:56through the information and he's like so dialed in and then he's
- 39:59in the heat of that and. He's driving into it.
- 40:01The eye's going to be moving West of us.
- 40:03Yeah, it's coming. We're on the front wall.
- 40:04I got to get to the eye and dude, he's driving down the
- 40:07road. His his son's coming up and then
- 40:09he goes from being the storm to my point with Bubba.
- 40:12I sent Bubba a text like, dude, he was showing some crappy
- 40:15stuff, just national news. So you need to get this guy.
- 40:17And then Bubba for about an hour had his his feed first.
- 40:21He went to him and was like, he's not in the eye.
- 40:23What's funny? You go back and look at his
- 40:24show. He never hit play on that thing
- 40:27that he kept looking at his radar that was showing good.
- 40:29He was saying that the storm wasn't where he said it was.
- 40:32It was just a pause picture for like an hour.
- 40:35That storm never moved on his radar.
- 40:37He's like Jeff Guy's not not that things.
- 40:39At least that's not even made landfall.
- 40:41It's like dude. It went from Bubba's, not a
- 40:44meteorologist from I mean, trees laying down and Transformers
- 40:47exploding to dead steel, then storm again.
- 40:50I'm pretty sure that's the eye, you know he was there.
- 40:54But that dude's awesome. Dude.
- 40:55That dude's awesome. Oh, he's the best.
- 40:57I found him, I don't know, probably 4345 years ago.
- 41:05He was doing one of these storms.
- 41:07I don't it was Laura or one of these that hit hit here.
- 41:11I I found him before he did the did the one in Louise did Laura,
- 41:15Hurricane Laura that hit Lake Charles.
- 41:18He was that he was one of the best that was there for that.
- 41:21Now that was whenever I was like, Oh yeah this guy's the
- 41:23real deal. But he was at some other
- 41:25hurricane prior to that, doing some of the craziest stuff, and
- 41:30that is when Twitter at the time had Periscope.
- 41:35Which is all Periscope is now is if you go live on Twitter.
- 41:40They bought Periscope. It's the same, it looks the same
- 41:43and everything. It's just not not called
- 41:45Periscope anymore. It's all ingrained into Into X.
- 41:49Yeah, now. But that's where I originally
- 41:51found him. I'm like, this dude is nuts.
- 41:54He's the craziest that he's safe.
- 41:57Yeah, but he's he's safe. But he gives you the most
- 42:00information, the fastest. Reed Timmer.
- 42:03I'm a huge Reed Timmer fan as well.
- 42:06Reed Timmer. They they are kind of 1A and 1B
- 42:10for me. Jeff Protowski He goes more
- 42:14extreme and that's they love his energy.
- 42:17He goes more extremes. He goes more extreme in
- 42:19hurricanes. In Hurricanes, Reed Timber goes
- 42:23crazier in tornadoes. But don't think don't you think
- 42:26that Jeff won't chase a tornado either?
- 42:28Cuz he absolutely. He chases them all.
- 42:31I'd love to get in the truck, though, with Jeff on one of
- 42:34those storm runs. I'd ride out with him.
- 42:37I'd, I'd get over there. I'd like, oh, I'd document him
- 42:40doing what he does, like that would be something I've always
- 42:43wanted me to do. I used to see, I always like
- 42:46growing up in Alabama, Even going to school at Troy, a
- 42:48hurricane would start to come and we would always come down
- 42:51and try to find all these crappy motels that used to be on the
- 42:53beach. Now they're all big condos now,
- 42:55and we would rent a motel room and spend the night.
- 42:58We know when a storm is coming that way and just get out, Dude.
- 43:01I used to love it, but I used to feel real safe right there.
- 43:03It's like it's not a tidal wave. This is not a tsunami.
- 43:06This is just a hurricane. Like you.
- 43:07Just what's going to happen. I mean, I don't get me wrong.
- 43:10I found out one time I got too close to the fire and I've not
- 43:13respect change for hurricanes. It was Opal.
- 43:18Opal. Really.
- 43:19Opal scared me. I I got out in the middle of
- 43:21that too much and like that was. That was too much.
- 43:24That was. Too dangerous Hurricane Michael
- 43:26that hit hit panel in the city. I mean, I was on the phone with
- 43:29you. We Facetimed and all kinds of
- 43:32stuff that day, and you were on the good side of it.
- 43:37It was still awfully windy and everything but that.
- 43:40That hurricane was so small. And and you know, the the
- 43:44craziness of it, but it was like a freaking saw went through
- 43:48Panama City. I would not have wanted to stay
- 43:51in one of those little hotels in Panama City Beach on that day.
- 43:55Yeah, small from a diameter. You had a buddy that was, yeah,
- 43:59you have a buddy who was in a house and he still had
- 44:01self-serve video for me. And I called him too and I was
- 44:05on the phone with him as the as, you know, as as the front eye
- 44:08wall was coming in and they were right in the middle of Panama
- 44:11City. And man, like that's one of the
- 44:13like super laid back guys. He doesn't really get like one
- 44:17way or the other kind of stays here.
- 44:18And I was talking to him. I called up, hey man, you got
- 44:20your beer. And he's like, no man, dude, I'm
- 44:25scared. He said we're in the closet.
- 44:27He said, I just looked out the window and my neighbor's house
- 44:30is shredding apart right now. And I was like Oh my God, you
- 44:34know. And then I realized I was like,
- 44:35oh, and dude, I went there. The house, it's, I don't, I
- 44:39still understand it. Like the house, just like his
- 44:41literally just completely gone off the foundation, like, and
- 44:46his house is still standing and then you go another two houses
- 44:48down and then it's just ripped with nothing but outer walls
- 44:51standing or something. It was it.
- 44:53It it looked like they had bombed that place with like
- 44:56nuclear weapons or something. That was crazy.
- 44:58So yeah, he was in the middle of it.
- 45:00So, you know, I've gained more respect, but I still get in the
- 45:02truck with Jeff and go chase one of these storms.
- 45:04Oh yeah. Yeah, And Reed, I'd ride with
- 45:07you. One of them told my wife this.
- 45:11They all know. I mean, I'm a weather nut.
- 45:13You know this. We're weather nut.
- 45:15And I get excited when Bad Weathers come in and you know
- 45:21I'm fired up for it. I'm safe with it.
- 45:23I have radars. I watch all that stuff.
- 45:26You know all of that. But they know they're Tammy's
- 45:28like, you can't I I'm like, I want to go on one of those
- 45:31tornado chases. I want to go up there and you
- 45:34know go on a tornado tour and just ride with the storm
- 45:38chasers. Odds are you're not going to see
- 45:40a tornado. You know they ride for hundreds
- 45:43and hundreds of miles in a day chasing those storms.
- 45:46You don't do it just right. You miss But Jeff and Reed
- 45:49Timmer. Jeff Ratowski and Reed Timmer,
- 45:51they both. And I hope I'm not butchering
- 45:53his last name. They both do it, they go into it
- 45:59and they seem to get the most action of anybody that I see on
- 46:02social media. And there's several others that
- 46:04I follow too. But those dudes, you want to get
- 46:07in the frontline. Oh my God, it is so much day
- 46:10there. Nothing to gets Ken Tory because
- 46:11I was a big Ken Tory fan. Like he kind of brought that on
- 46:14to the scene. He's the OD is Budgie.
- 46:16These guys, it's like and I look and I only want to say this
- 46:20really, but it's like what Horse Gracie did with UFCI was like
- 46:23giant Horse Gracie fan still am. I think what he did was
- 46:25phenomenal. But how much that game has
- 46:28evolved today into who's out there.
- 46:31That's what these guys are doing now and and reporting the
- 46:33weather because I've never seen anything like that.
- 46:36And I follow all these guys. What's his name from Alabama
- 46:40James Fan Duke James. I mean, he's very knowledgeable.
- 46:43He's dialed in James, when he pulls those sleeves up, you know
- 46:45it's something. You know what, he's pulling his
- 46:47sleeves up. He's in a studio, this guy's in
- 46:49his truck and he's got all this stuff there and he is in it and
- 46:53he is giving it to you at at a high rate.
- 46:56You know, it's like he can tell you a lot about that storm in
- 46:59about 1520 seconds that you would never hear from anybody.
- 47:02If nobody, I don't think there's anybody that can get deliver
- 47:04that much information at the at the pace that he can do it.
- 47:09And it's important because everything's changing so
- 47:10rapidly, you know what I mean? Like, and then he's on point.
- 47:13He's running, he knows where to go.
- 47:14He sees the southern eye wall, He seeds the wobble.
- 47:17By the time it wobbles back, he's going to be right where he
- 47:19needs to be. It's just dial.
- 47:22It out. Unbelievable.
- 47:23He is beyond dialed in, beyond dialed in and and I'll have I'll
- 47:28have links to his social media and read Timmers.
- 47:32All these guys I'm going to in the in the show notes in the
- 47:34description below if you're watching this on YouTube.
- 47:37All of the links to their pages will be there.
- 47:39If you're not following them and you like weather stuff, I highly
- 47:43suggest that you follow them. You'll love to have that guy
- 47:46out. I love to pick his brain.
- 47:47That's so. I'm so enthralled by weather.
- 47:50But anyway, we could we could talk it with what we just did.
- 47:53I love weather. I would like.
- 47:55It's weather, man. I think we just came up.

- 48:09rode Ivan out in Fort Walton and the Eyewall and a heavy armored
- 48:13building and like, yeah, we got all kind of crazy stories there

- 48:21just wish I just didn't film it. Like, but I've I've been in the
