All right there, boys and girls. Round #2.
0:11
Round #2. I never wore a cowboy hat on
0:19
stage. I should have did that once or.
0:20
Twice. I don't think any of us owned
0:28
one back then. I've had this forever man.
0:31
I think you bought this week. Our.
0:33
First year together, it's older, it's older than our
0:38
relationship. That's that's fucking Stetson,
0:41
man, that shit last dude, it's you know, it's legit.
0:44
Oh. That's the real deal.
0:45
Right. So, so, so those of you that are
0:47
tuning in on Twitch and YouTube, we had a guest coming on Dwayne
0:49
Park and he showed up wearing a cowboy hat.
0:51
I was like, I can match that. So that's the reason.
0:55
You're going to go get your wig. That's where I was going with my
1:00
comments. So that's the reason I'm wearing
1:03
my cowboy hat. So since we're having massive
1:05
technical difficulties with Dwayne because he's trying to
1:07
broadcast live from West Virginia mountains,
1:11
Appalachians, where they grow the moonshine, it was going to
1:13
be a great show. We're going to talk about
1:14
moonshine. We're going to talk about
1:16
hillbilly. Hey, Michael, all that kind of
1:21
stuff puts away now we're just you just stuck with Mike and I.

She loves my hat. Yeah, thank you.
1:48
It's the status. Mine's the same as every week.
1:49
Consistency. There's something to be said for
1:51
consistency. There is something to be said
1:53
for consistency, absolutely. But I do dig your hat too bro.
1:56
Thank you. Thank you.
1:57
So it's Labor Day weekend coming up.
1:58
You got any plans going to casino?
2:01
I very well might, you never know.
2:03
Yeah, I see a lot of R&R in my future.
2:06
Right on, right on. Yeah, you got three day week, a
2:08
four day weekend, right? Because you don't, you don't
2:10
have to work too. Yeah, we don't work Monday.
2:11
Oh, right on. So you got.
2:13
Yeah, you're right. Friday and Monday.
2:14
Nice, nice talking about, talking about some football.
2:19
So since it's just you and I, we want to talk about, let's talk
2:23
about some football, you know, cuz what?
2:25
They're down to 53 man rosters. Yes, right.
2:28
I just read the read the Bears yesterday.
2:31
Let's see what's the biggest cuts are.
2:35
So the, the, the, the Giants, they're, they're still getting
2:38
all kinds of accolades for the preseason, scoring the most
2:40
points and allowing the fewest points, even though it's
2:43
preseason. And then you saw Michael Parsons
2:47
bailed and went to Green Bay, right?
2:50
I did not see. Yeah, Michael Parsons is
2:52
something. Yeah, Michael Parsons is now a
2:54
Green Bay Packer. When did that happen?
2:57
Yesterday. OK, I missed that.
3:00
Let's see what's where. The hell is it, man?
3:04
What did he sign in Green Bay? For I don't know, we're going to
3:06
find out it was a trade. Acquiring minds want to know.
3:10
So the Cowboys, where's I just want give me all OK.
3:19
Michael Parsons traded the Green Bay Packers on Thursday.
3:26
Where does it go? Where'd it go?
3:27
Where'd it go? Where'd it go?
3:29
Thursday they traded him to the Packers in exchange for a 26 and
3:33
27 first round draft. Pick 26 and 27 first round
3:40
round. Right, right.
3:42
He was going through a contract dispute.
3:44
He wanted to He wanted to renegotiate his contract.
3:48
Instead, he signed a four year, $188,000,000 extension with
3:51
Green Bay to make him the highest paid non quarterback in
3:53
NFL history. 104 years, $188 million.
4:00
What? But right now, he's worth it.
4:02
He had. To do it right, Well, yeah,
4:03
absolutely. 100 / 4 holy doing math folks, $47 million a year
4:12
so yeah highest paid non quarterback.
4:16
That is nuts, man. But yeah, he's he's.
4:18
Defense just got brutal. Man, he's a hell of a player.
4:21
But who else does Green Bay have on defense, though that that?
4:25
I should know because they play in my division.
4:27
But I I just watched the game, man.
4:31
I don't get that I get that into music.
4:33
I don't get that into sports. OK, so how good is Green Bay
4:36
Packers? Defense, well, it's they weren't
4:41
that great because they I'll tell you how bad they were.
4:45
Green Bay would win the game, but they would never cover the
4:47
spread. So they need Michael Parsons
4:49
real bad. Oh, gotcha.
4:50
Maybe they must. Not have a very stout defense.
4:53
Well, maybe they were gambling and they didn't want to beat the
4:55
spread they were beating. They were betting on the other
4:57
side of that, you know. They could have been betting
4:59
against themselves, like we want to win the game, but we don't
5:02
want to cover the spread. Yeah, that's true, right?
5:06
That's what I'm saying. So they win the game.
5:09
Yeah, I'm, I'm just reaffirming your point.
5:11
So they win the game, they make the money because they're not.
5:13
They're not. On both sides of the bet.
5:16
Right. OK, interesting.
5:19
Right on. And I would not be surprised if
5:22
there were not things like that that happened in the course of
5:25
the season. Right.
5:27
There's a lot of money on the line now that everybody's
5:30
gambling. Oh for sure man, the gambling.
5:33
You know, it used to be just Vegas, you had to go place bets
5:36
or or illegally, you know, people had parlay cards at like
5:40
these private clubs and stuff. But now everybody's got a
5:43
gambling app. I got three of them on my phone
5:45
so. I tried to put a gambling app
5:49
but it wouldn't let me in Arizona.
5:50
I don't know why. Yeah, we got to figure something
5:54
out, like a different app or something.
5:57
Something not that I want to gamble, you know, because I
6:00
don't really care, but. Yeah, but it's fun, even if you
6:03
put $0.10 on it. Just if you're going to, you
6:05
know, like if you're going to watch a baseball game or a
6:06
football game for you, you watch football.
6:09
I do if. You're going to sit down and
6:11
watch a game that you weren't really interested in?
6:13
Yeah. If you put $5 on it, it makes it
6:15
more fun to watch you. Know I guess.
6:17
That's true. You don't have to go crazy.
6:19
Yeah, I guess that's true. That's true.
6:25
So $0.10, a 10 cent, interesting.
6:27
A $0.10 bet could do what? Well it depends on how crazy you
6:32
made your bet. If you just did a straight up
6:34
$0.10 bet you might win 10 cent profit like $0.20 total right?
6:38
OK, OK. But if you put 11 picks on 110
6:46
cent bet you can win like 500 bucks.
6:49
Well. If all 11 came in.
6:52
Right on up. Look, there's Dwayne.
6:56
We'll see if Dwayne stays this time.
6:57
What up, Dwayne? How you doing?
7:00
Good. Can you hear us directly?
7:03
I can hear you. OK, cool.
7:05
And there's no delay. It sounds much clearer.
7:07
It does. There's no delay.
7:10
Nah. OK, good.
7:13
I had to come up near the top of the mountain.
7:16
There you go, top of the mountain.
7:17
So introduce yourself to our our guest man.
7:19
This is this is. Go ahead.
7:20
Who are you, Dee? Yeah, I'm Dee.
7:25
I'm Dwayne Parker. And tell and and and what do you
7:29
do, Dwayne? What's your thing, man?
7:30
What's your life resume all about?
7:33
I wander around the world looking for gold.
7:37
Really. For real I I carry a gold pan
7:41
with me everywhere I go but I'm a recording on.
7:45
Gold. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 10.4g is about
7:54
$1200 worth. OK.
7:57
And that took you your entire lifetime.
8:00
No, that's just what I've what I ain't lost.
8:05
Oh OK. OK.
8:07
So so do you gold pan every day or is it just kind of more of a
8:10
hobby? I don't do it for a living, I
8:14
just do it for fun, but. Right on.
8:17
And is it the gold pan? Stand in the river type thing
8:19
and scoop the water. Scoop the water, OK.
8:22
Yeah, OK. But I made a thing with a PVC
8:26
pipeline, stick it down in there and suck it up and put it in my
8:29
pan. I ain't got to get in the water
8:30
no more. Oh, where you go?
8:32
That's in it. That's innovative.
8:34
Yeah. So you're in, you're in the,
8:38
you're West Virginia, you the Appalachian Mountains.
8:41
I'm in Virginia. Yeah, I'm in the Appalachian.
8:44
Mountains. You got any any moonshine going
8:46
on behind you? Well, I'm going to tell you
8:49
what, I better be quiet about that.
8:56
But so you've seen moonshine settles.
9:00
When I was five years old, I was stirring mash for my path.
9:03
Really dude, we used to My wife and I used to watch that show
9:07
Moonshiners. Is there any accuracy to that?
9:11
A little bit, some of the staged, a lot of the years.
9:16
Well, yeah, most. Out of Hollywood.
9:18
Most of that reality TV show should have staged for sure.
9:21
You. Know so how so?
9:25
You actually served moonshine when you were five.
9:27
You still make moonshine to this day.
9:29
Yeah. Right on what do you call your
9:32
moonshine? What do you what's your
9:36
moonshine? You got a brand, you call it a
9:37
name and you you know, what do you make it with?
9:39
Like I because I've watched the show, so you can make with all
9:42
kinds of stuff, right? So what's your favorite kind of
9:45
moonshine to make, really? Whatever I got, matter what if
9:50
fruit or corn? Yeah.
9:53
Yeah, they they say the fruit is Brandy and the corn is corn
9:57
liquor. I like the Brandy.
10:01
OK. Is the Brandy smoother?
10:03
Because I, I haven't had a drink in 20 years.
10:05
So yes, it's a little. Bit smoother.
10:09
The corn and rag. It's a little bit of it.
10:11
Burn. You burn your bed yet?
10:15
Yeah, not just a little bit, a lot of bit.
10:22
Right on. But.
10:25
So music. Go ahead.
10:27
Yeah. Music.
10:27
Music. Question What do you play?
10:29
I'm yeah, I'm a, I'm a old, I'm outlaw guitar picker country
10:34
music artist, and I got a song right now that's 30 on the cast
10:42
box independent country music chart.
10:46
Oh, right on. What's the song called?
10:49
You get a kicked out of this, it's called three more sets to
10:52
go because that's how many I had to do to get paid tonight.
10:57
I wrestled Terrible Ted to 650 LB Bear and he broke my leg in
11:01
seven places. You wrestled a 650 LB bear.
11:06
Yeah, the name was Terrible Ted. What kind of bear?
11:11
They said he was like a Himalayan Chinese fat bear or
11:15
something like that. I don't know.
11:16
He was, he's big and he wasn't like playing with the big dog
11:21
guy thing. That man told me he was a little
11:25
bit rough like that. OK, I know Chris wants to talk
11:29
about music, and so do I. Yeah.
11:30
But how do you, how does this come about?
11:32
How do you get wrestled there where you're going to wrestle a
11:35
650 LB bear? I got to know.
11:37
Yeah. Yeah, well, I was about this.
11:40
My band was playing at the Southern Station and I was MC in
11:45
the place that night and they had had the wrestling Bear come
11:49
down. And ever since I was a little
11:51
kid, we'd go see my grandpa in Alabama and he liked Barry
11:55
Bryant, Alabama football and, and he always said that Barry
12:00
got his name from wrestling the Bears.
12:02
So I said if I ever had a chance, I'd do it.
12:05
Well, terrible. Ted come in and I signed up.
12:09
I did it. There wasn't, but three of us
12:11
wrestled him and it was bad, I'll tell you what.
12:19
So the last thing I saw when I passed out from shock was the
12:22
owner's niece, and I thought she's an Angel come to get me.
12:25
And that's what I wrote the song about.
12:28
All right, Hon. That's awesome.
12:34
Oh, that's terrible, man. Now.
12:36
Now you know why they called him Terrible Ted.
12:39
That's right. Right?
12:40
Damn, yeah. I always thought I'd buy him and
12:46
he wouldn't have to do that shit for nobody else.
12:49
And I found out he got loose from his cage, went up mild
12:53
donors, old lady to death. So the euthanized.
12:58
Oh no. Well.
13:02
I guess you'd have to euthanize him if he killed somebody,
13:04
right? Well, that's what we get for
13:08
thinking that. It's Yogi the bear.
13:10
You know, bears. Vicious bears.
13:12
I like to kill things. Bears.
13:14
Well, I know he was bad. When he walked in the door.
13:16
He looked like a fuzzy Volkswagen with big old eyeballs
13:19
and an intent to kill. I ain't never chickened out of
13:26
nothing in my life, but I wanted to that night, but I didn't.
13:30
I probably should have, but then I wouldn't.
13:32
Have you would have sound, you would have seen smoke coming out
13:35
of my ass, Dwayne. You might have been running so
13:37
fast. Yeah, right.
13:41
That's funny, but you know, I just ain't scared of nothing but
13:46
myself. I reckon so.
13:49
I like that. Absolutely.
13:55
So aside from wrestling bears and playing country music, what
13:57
else does? What else does?
13:58
You You dropped a bunch of little names when we first kind
14:01
of started the show. So kind of you kind of drop
14:04
those names and explain what those are about.
14:10
Well, I can tell you one of them, the Alabama Wildman, that
14:13
was a Jerry Reed song. OK.
14:17
Jerry Reed, that's where I heard that.
14:19
My dad used that as ACB handle. Wow.
14:25
And he quit being a honky conker, became a preacher, and
14:28
then he died. And so I figured the Alabama
14:32
Wildman needed to live on, so I picked up the name.
14:37
Right on. Now Bucknut Jones is a whole
14:40
different story. OK, so let's talk about that
14:43
one. That involves a tattoo.
14:47
Are you sure you want to hear it?
14:49
Yes, absolutely, man. OK, that's why we're here.
14:52
Tattoos, brother. I've got a, I've got an inguinal
14:56
hernia. You know what that is?
14:58
It sounds painful. That's one of the lower ones
15:01
where it, it, it tears, it's got a hole in the in your wall,
15:07
intest walls down there and it and it'll let your, it'll let
15:11
your let your, your guts go down into your tooth pouch.
15:16
Oh no. Oh, oh, that sound.
15:18
Has to hurt like hell. And so mine's on the left hand,
15:21
mine's on the left hand side. So they had it went down in
15:27
there and the left side of my pouch was a hurt really bad.
15:31
So I walked in the VFW club and I got me a beer and I said,
15:36
y'all ever watched the major plane?
15:41
You won't forget that pain, boy. Stick out your finger, Yeah.
15:44
Yeah, yeah. I said I'm going to go home and
15:46
tattoo a dollar sign on the right hand side so I forget
15:49
about the left hand side. This guy at the bar says you
15:53
ain't man enough and I said you got $100 bill that says I ain't.
15:58
He pulled out $100 bill and I told Pam to wait, bartender.
16:02
I said you hold on to that, I'll be back.
16:05
So I went to the shed, got out my tattoo gun and set up the
16:08
camera and I got me a dollar sign on the right hand side of
16:13
the two pouch. Did it yourself?
16:16
Yeah. So I went back.
16:19
I went back up to the bar and showed them the film.
16:22
One of them wanted to see it, so I showed them.
16:24
But I got my $100 and I was going to be cool.
16:27
I said, now you can call me Big Chief's money bags and this
16:30
girl, and this girl says I'm going to call you Bucknut.
16:34
And I said, oh. No, but.
16:37
It's Bucknut Jones to you. Now see, that's the name of an
16:42
album, man. Right there.
16:43
Bucknut, Jones. You're damn right it is.
16:46
Yeah, that's actually a great band name.
16:49
I. Use.
16:51
I use that name when I'm bad and I'm Dwayne Parker when I'm good
16:55
and I'm Buck Nut Jones when I sing like the Midget stripper
16:58
song and all that stuff. Dude, another great name for a
17:01
band. 13 naked midgets and Mike. Remember the name I had 9th and
17:05
Ash. Like I wanted to name a band 9th
17:06
and Ash. Remember that I do OK.
17:08
There's a fucking band in Arizona now called 9th and Ash.
17:11
Scott hated it. They.
17:13
Finally, finally, finally somebody, somebody came up and
17:17
like, Yep, well, that's a that's a spot in Tempe in Arizona,
17:20
Dwayne, where it's like a, it's a restaurant that's been there
17:23
forever that's supposed to be haunted.
17:24
It's off 9th and Ash. And I was like, oh, that would
17:26
be a cool name for a band. That was the first name that you
17:28
brought, which I yeah, I never had a problem with it.
17:31
I thought it was cool. Yeah, but Nemesis was better.
17:34
Nemesis was better, but Bucknut Jones my Bucknut.
17:36
Jones yeah, that's, that's a that's a whole new level right
17:40
there, man. Well, I think that should be
17:43
your alter ego band. Dwayne.
17:45
It is. Put your rebel OK?
17:48
It is awesome to explain that you know, I when I'm when I'm

Midget, woke up the trailer park.
18:02
You know, it's I can do all kinds of stuff under that name
18:05

18:07
so much fun writing lyrics? You have no idea because he has
18:12
no filter either. I have no.

can look up. I released on April 18th.
27:56
I released a song called I know on version records.
28:02
OK. And.
28:03
Wow, outstanding. And it's a song, song I wrote
28:07
kind of overcoming some heartache that was brought into
28:11
my life. And I ain't going to say too
28:14
much about it, but I no longer have a best friend.
28:18
Oh. Yeah, Well, that's not good, no.
28:21
Well, it don't really matter because it is what it is.
28:24
I got a hit song out of it, you know what I mean?
28:28
Yeah, well, there is that trade off.
28:30
That's. Yeah, listen to it.
28:31
It's pretty cool. It's as strong as coffee though
28:34
to be. Be prepared.
28:37
Can we play it on? You won't get in trouble, no
28:42
with the show Chris, if you can pull.
28:46
It up. We try not to share music unless
28:53
the artist is actually here because they yanked a bunch of
28:55
our stuff down so. What?
29:02
Was the name of the song. I know KNOW.
29:07
Yeah, yeah, yeah. By Dwayne Parker.
29:12
I know Single. It's on, It's on Apple, It's on
29:15
SoundCloud, it's on Amazon, it's on Apple Facebook.
29:19
There's the video. I don't want that.
29:29
What? While he's pulling that up, what
29:33
kind of guitar did you have there, Dwayne?
29:35
I'm a guitarist, so. That was that was an old
29:38
Alvarez. Just no beating around my old
29:41
Albie. It had a nice sound to it.
29:44
Yeah, yeah, I love it. Connect, so I'm not going to
29:47
fuck around with it and mess up the show.
29:49
Yeah, bro, did you hit the share button?
29:51
Down at the bottom share screen let's.
29:56
See, let's go back to I Know Parker.
30:06
Hey, we're fishing to have a pig roast.
30:10
My uncle, he's cooking some cooking some beef for some
30:15
sandwiches. I used to.
30:19
There you go. Here's there you go, Parker
30:21
Song. Hey, that's Tanny, took his
30:23
daughter on there with me there. You go.
30:29
I won't say I know that tomorrow's another day.
30:38
Yes, I know. I know.
30:43
But she didn't know her. I know how you did, and I know
30:54
how you lied. Know what you told your.
31:04
The best thing about a country song is is you're getting
31:15
divorced, you're getting drunk, or you lost your job.
31:18
So you nailed it, man. You nailed all three, brother.
31:22
And he's even taking it to the next evolution.
31:24
His truck's on crack. Yeah, his truck's on crack, man.
31:28
Nice. That's you.
31:29
You clean up nice, man. And you still represent very
31:31
well live. That's impressive, dude.
31:33
Where did you record that at? That's got a great sound it.
31:36
Does, yeah. I got in Talladega AL D Ford
31:45
show, it was ATV show. He's going to play on every once
31:49
in a while. And the bandleader, he, we, we
31:54
used the studio there and recorded that.
31:57
And it was, it was, he did his name Randall Warren.
32:01
He did a real good job at it. Damn right he did that sound was
32:05
a man. I'm big on things.
32:07
You know the Sonic presentation about how they sound, not just
32:10
how good the song is right. If you have a great song and an
32:13
engineer takes it and you know, pushes everything to the red
32:17
line or doesn't record something loud enough, engineering is just
32:21
as important as the songwriting. So kudos to the person that
32:24
recorded that, it sounds amazing.
32:27
You hear that, Randall? Hey man, brother, good job.
32:32
I ain't trying to cash CD. Well, that's the name of the
32:37
CDI, ain't Johnny Cash. Yeah.
32:40
I love that title. That's that's a kick ass song
32:45
too. I had to write a song to
32:49
introduce myself in Nashville and had like 2 months to do it
32:55
and I. And I was driving up to
32:57
Nashville wondering what I'm going to do because I'm going to
32:59
have to swing it. I hadn't done it yet and
33:02
everybody was on the radio. Johnny Cash just died.
33:05
And then. Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.
33:07
Hello, I'm Brian the Cash, right?
33:08
Yeah, yeah. Jim McGraw said it about
33:11
Huntsville and it pissed me off. I said man, you would make a
33:14
hair on Johnny Cash's ass. And so I said hey, there's my
33:20
song. And between Huntsville and
33:24
Nashville, wrote this thing, never played it before, got out
33:28
of the truck, got on stage and went, I didn't know how I was
33:32
going to start it so because I never played it yet.
33:36
So I started to mess with everybody.
33:38
I went boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
33:42
And now looked at me like, what are you doing?
33:44
This is the original song, you know?
33:46
And I said, Hey, y'all, I ain't Johnny Cash.
33:49
I'm never hanging out with old Hank Junior Smoke go with his
33:53
grass. And it ain't because I ain't bad
33:55
enough, it's because I ain't had the chance.
33:58
Same for all you all Or don't know my name.
34:00
Hello. I ain't Johnny Cash.
34:04
Those are. Great lyrics, yeah.
34:08
Yeah, that that's got the story of the bear in it too.
34:12
Oh, right on. Yeah, Wrestling Bear named
34:15
Terrible Ted back in 1993 and he bit my arm and he broke my leg 7
34:20
times under my knee and then he bit me, bit my arm.
34:25
But then he hit my head and said I was going hard and saw stars
34:28
and I couldn't see. But with a little Jack I was
34:31
back singing. Who the hell is me?
34:33
I don't know y'all, but I ain't trying to cash.
34:35
It's cute. That's great man, I love it.
34:44
Nothing better than real world lyrics, man.
34:46
That's one thing that we always parted ourself on.
34:48
We didn't write songs about getting laid and getting drunk.
34:50
We wrote songs that were about life and what was going on and
34:53
what you experienced and the goods and the good and the bad,
34:56
the UPS and the downs, all that kind of stuff.
34:59
Oh yeah, I got sounds like. I appreciate I got sounds.
35:02
I appreciate about your lyrics, Dwayne.
35:05
Mean something? Oh, yeah.
35:07
Thank you. Appreciate it.
35:09
Chris, Chris's lyrics were the same thing.
35:11
They were either about his life or about something that he was
35:14
curious about or, you know, they, they meant something.
35:17
And when I say I'm not a huge fan of country music, I
35:20
shouldn't say that I'm not a huge fan of music that has no
35:23
substance to it, you know? There you go.
35:26
And they have no content whatsoever, Nash.
35:29
I mean all these cookie cutter boys up there wearing tight
35:32
jeans wanting to sound like all if they think if they put mud on
35:36
boots and a truck the cornfield in there or something about
35:39
moonshine and they country and they ain't country worth shit.
35:42
Because I tell you, that's here's what pissed me off when I
35:46
went to Nashville the first time and I had holes in my jeans.
35:50
It wasn't because I was being cool is because I wore them in
35:53
there slinging hay bales up on the wall so I could get there.
35:57
And I found out dude on stage had holes in his jeans because
36:00
he bought them at Kohl's for $200 and I wanted to kick his
36:03
ass. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:14
I heard somebody up Nashville that I played Nashville and went
36:17
to Atlanta and played the award ceremony thing and made my way
36:20
to Helen, GA. I'm in Virginia now.
36:23
But I heard somebody say that how bad they were paying their
36:26
dues. And I said, man, you need to
36:28
shut the hell up. Come out to my car.
36:30
I want to show you something. Yeah.
36:32
I went in the car and I poured out a big old jug, a dollar
36:35
store peanut butter. I said till you live off of this
36:38
for a damn week, don't tell me you've paid any damn dues.
36:43
There you go, Amen. There you go, Amen.
36:47
Hey, Yep, you got to play in front of two people.
36:49
They'll play in front of 1000 all.
36:51
Right. And I'll play in front of the
36:53
squirrels. I don't care because when it's
36:55
in you is coming out right. Exactly.
36:59
I I agree with you, but I also agree with you that one of my
37:02
big things is don't talk about things that you haven't
37:04
experienced. Yeah, Like you've been there.
37:06
You know, you can talk about them, but don't talk about them
37:08
like you've been there. You know you don't.
37:10
Know what it's? I will not listen.
37:12
Until you've struggled. I will not listen to a preacher
37:15
that never took a drink, you hear me?
37:18
Yeah, absolutely. You know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:25
And that's no disrespect, but I'm just saying the way it is
37:29
now. You show me.
37:32
You show me a judgmental preacher, I'll show you a
37:36
lukewarm Christian. But I'm Bump.
37:38
Amen, brother. One thing I liked about my dad,
37:43
you know, he quit being a honky tonker and became a preacher in
37:46
it. But one thing he never did, he
37:48
never told me. He always, he always, uh, give
37:57
me things to think about. Said you pretty bad figured out
38:00
yourself, you know, he didn't want me to make my decision on
38:03
what he was, and I always thought that was cool with him,
38:05
you know? That is cool.
38:07
That is cool. You ever watched that movie
38:08
Harley-Davidson, The Marlboro Man they're doing?
38:11
That's one of. My favorites, dude.
38:13
OK so the remaking it which is bullshit, but what reminded me
38:17
of what you just said? My old man told me before he
38:19
left the shitty old world. And.
38:23
Then and then the advice, you know.
38:26
Yeah, but yeah, you always said that first though Mickey work.
38:30
And love that movie dude. Great fucking movie.
38:34
Underrated. Underrated like one of those.
38:37
It's like one of those worst, best movies.
38:39
Yeah, one of those cult leaky hates it dudes.
38:41
Yes, he hates. That's why I say it's one of the
38:44
worst best movies ever. It's supposed to be a horrible
38:47
movie, but somehow it became a cult classic.
38:49
I love that one. I love Josie Wills.
38:55
Outlaw Josie Wills? Yeah, buddy.
38:57
And OK, and the woman had a Van Kilmore playing Doc Holiday.
39:02
Tombstone, Tombstone. Tombstone.
39:04
I love that man. I've.
39:05
Seen that? Probably 200.
39:07
Times. Me too, Russell.
39:10
Yeah, yeah, yeah it. Only, yeah, it only got 29% on
39:13
on Rotten Tomatoes. Harley-Davidson, the Marlboro
39:15
Man, but they're making a freaking new one.
39:17
And so irritating. It's got, it's got Jason Momoa.
39:22
Man. It's I'm irritated, man.
39:24
Like you don't you don't remake. It's who is it here?
39:28
Jason Momoa and Ryan Gosling? Like seriously.
39:32
How are they going to have the same chemistry as Mickey Rourke
39:35
and Don Johnson? That was not two people here.
39:38
Here it is. What it is.
39:39
Went together it is. It did.
39:41
Free Wild. And Charlie Davidson.
39:47
Marlboro Man Modern gunslinger, quick with his words and even
39:52
quicker on the trigger. Like, really?
39:59
When their help is threatened, they don't negotiate, they don't
40:02
ask permission. Now they strike back 2 legends,
40:16
one last ride, and a fate written in fire and gunpowder.
40:23
So what's funny about that is Ryan Gosling is not 63 and Jason
40:27
Momoa is if you saw some of those scenes, their levels like
40:30
right here. So which means Jason Momoa is
40:32
back here to make that height the same.
40:35
But it's it's you can't remake that movie, man.
40:37
It's. Just well, that movie's going to
40:39
end up being what the first one was supposed to be a piece of
40:42
shit. The first one tech it was a
40:45
flop. I mean, there's.
40:46
A It was a flop till it till it went to blockbuster.
40:48
Once it went to blockbuster, game on.
40:51
And then people like Dwayne, Chris and myself rented it every
40:55
chance we got because we thought it was the best thing that ever
40:58
went to. Did you see that?
41:02
You know right there. So I cut my 3 fingers off the
41:07
ends of them with a, a, a table saw and I super glued them back
41:12
on. And I'm I've showed myself
41:15
halfway up my arm because I had a router go up it, you know, and
41:19
everybody just like talking about these movie stars and
41:23
stuff. I said, man, they just won't
41:25
beat me because they're faking it.
41:27
They're they're playing it. I mean, they're just acting.
41:30
I had to do it for real to keep from dying.
41:32
I had to relearn to play my guitar.
41:36
So I'm the real deal was. That on your.
41:41
Was that on your fretting hand or your?
41:42
That's on my leg. Yeah, on my court hand, man, I
41:45
had Oh no. So I played I'll See You May
41:48
Fest in Nashville and the last show there I was on a a hay
41:54
wagon out there in front of the Superdor Theater and this old
41:59
bass player, he was trying to follow me and he had every wrong
42:03
note that there was. Finally after that song, he
42:08
said, man, you don't make your chords right, do you?
42:10
I said, no, I I can't. But I had to super glue my
42:14
fingers back on. I had to learn how to play this
42:17
thing all over again. So don't follow my fingers.
42:22
So you you cut your fingers off and you had the mindset to clean
42:26
up the wound, get some super glue and painstakingly put them
42:32
back together. That's what he's saying.
42:34
I. Did, yeah.
42:35
OK, so so Chuck Norris, suck on that man.
42:39
Yeah, man. Like all three foot now and you
42:43
were straight up like sober at the time.
42:46
Yeah, I was making it just like. Work.
42:50
I'm made to get more from my grandson.
42:53
OK. Yeah, I didn't even I didn't
42:55
really do nothing say oh shit, that's bad.
42:57
And I went in and I put some salt, I put some salt and
43:01
alcohol in it and washed it out the salt and alcohol out happy
43:05
hours in the salt kill everything.
43:08
So I I did that and I super glued it all back together as
43:11
quick as I could and and it never even slow got infected or
43:16
nothing but it it it left me some funny looking phalanges.
43:21
Now, did you? Did you follow up with a doctor?
43:23
You were just like that. Rub some dirt on it and get on
43:26
with the day. I didn't went on about my
43:28
business. I'm making the guitar.
43:32
I banished some rough I was at the VMW in the ER unit come in
43:36
to have a party and I showed it to them and they're like what
43:39
the hell you need, you need your doctor.
43:41
I said no, I don't. They're all attached.
43:45
See. Yeah, I mean, hey, they worked
43:48
fine for me. That's amazing.
43:53
I didn't quite get them straight, but it works.
43:56
It was really bad as I found out that the nail bed, you know, as
44:02
long as you don't destroy that, that right there.
44:05
See that? So I I didn't, I didn't, I
44:08
didn't glue it back together quite right.
44:10
So I got a fingernail that grows out at a 45 now and it's crazy.
44:26
He loved. I love this episode, I'm just
44:28
saying. He's rivaling Mark Young for
44:30
making us laugh the most, I can tell you that.
44:32
Oh my, yeah. I love you, Mark, but Dwayne,
44:35
this is fun. What made you want?
44:41
I've been wanting to ask you this question.
44:42
What made you want to start playing music?
44:44
Yeah. Well, he he he had to see if he
44:47
could make his fingers work. He freeze up.
44:53
Yeah, right. As soon as I want to ask him
44:55
that question. Dwayne Earth to Dwayne Dwayne
45:01
Parker. Oh, there's two Dwayne's.
45:05
That's how you do sometimes when you come back, OK.
45:08
OK. I'm like a bad dream.
45:10
I'll be back. You're good, man.
45:16
Hey, what made you want to start playing music?
45:18
Well, my dad played when I was a little kid.
45:22
I just, I mean, I've heard it all my life and while I was in
45:26
the womb. So I kind of literally come out
45:28
loving music, I reckon. Right.
45:31
When I was five years old, he let me sing collage at the
45:34
Berkton Fair. Oh, right on.
45:36
And. Elijah.
45:37
Charlie Pride, man. What?
45:39
Yeah. Yeah.
45:40
Charlie Pride, brother. Well, I did the Hank Williams
45:44
style, but that OK my the crowd went wild and I know that's what
45:50
I want to do for the rest of my life.
45:51
So there you go. Then he'd let me change the
45:55
guitar strings and because he hated it, I thought I was cool.
45:59
So I changed them. And now I know why he hated
46:01
changing them because. But he said if you learn to play
46:05
Wildwood flower, I'll, I'll buy you a guitar.
46:09
By the time I was nine years old, I had me a guitar.
46:14
There you go, right on. Did you ever play with your dad?
46:17
Yeah, I did matter of fact several times.
46:22
And then when when I before I left home, you know, like say he
46:25
became a preacher. I traveled all the southeast.
46:28
He was evangelist and I played gospel music with him all over
46:31
the South and cool. The last song we ever did
46:36
though, he did a statue of Fool at many years ago, at the same
46:41
pig roast I'm at now on my granny's porch.
46:44
He got up in a sang statue of Fool with me.
46:48
That was cool. Share this moment.
46:50
Who wrote that? What's that?
46:53
What Mike? Who wrote that?
46:56
That was an old country song. I don't know who exactly wrote
46:59
it, Ricky Van Shelton and Jack Green and a bunch of people who
47:03
recorded it. OK, so it's like an old country
47:07
standard? OK, that's cool.
47:13
Yeah. Right on.
47:16
So what's on the horizon for for Dwayne Parker?
47:18
What do you got going on the next next, you know, few months
47:20
down the road? I got AI, got a nice little team
47:26
set up, Josh Tucker doing a great job as a my, they're doing
47:33
my personal management and websites and stuff like that.
47:37
Him and his buddy Wade, I got Robin out of Pennsylvania, just
47:42
took up booking. So I just want to play every day
47:46
till I die. And I don't really care about
47:48
nothing else. I just, I'm leaving this day for
47:51
my grandkids and I just want to sing till I die.
47:55
That's about all. I got the awards.
48:00
I I got a platinum award in 2003 for singer-songwriter of the
48:04
year. And that, you know, that's just
48:06
the thing on the shelf. My reward is is looking at it,
48:12
my fans, that smile, that's my award.
48:17
There you go. That's awesome man.
48:19
So how do people find your stuff?
48:21
Do you have a website? Dwayneparker.com.
48:23
Look at YWP Music group. Oh, that's OK.
48:27
That's it. That's where they find your
48:28
stuff. YWP Music Group.
48:30
Yeah, because I'm not responsible enough for the
48:32
computer man. I I I got 5 different websites
48:35
knowing how to work either one of them.
48:38
OK, that's that's cool. And then I like we found your I
48:43
know song that was on that when I googled I know it it came up
48:46
on all the platforms. So you're going to relaunch all
48:47
your stuff on. I've got 18 songs out that
48:53
that'll be on there, so I've got a bottle of Survival CD and he
48:58
should be uploading that and it should be there today.
49:01
Actually, you can download it off that website and he's got
49:05
three more songs done. The hardest Giants got it.
49:09
Cash, was that called? Right.
49:12
Was that was that called bottle of survival or the Battle of
49:15
Survival? Bottle, BOTTLE.
49:17
Bottle, that's what that's what I thought you.
49:20
Said bottle of survival that's. Great and it's a it's a that's a
49:23
real good sound. It on my Spotify numbers, which
49:28
I don't trust all that stuff because like I said, I had a
49:31
girl from Norway wish me happy birthday and they going to tell
49:35
me that my stuff wasn't streaming over there.
49:38
They so anyway, I don't trust all that stuff, but battle of
49:44
survival is that was a good, good album.
49:48
I did that 25 years ago. Kitty was his bass player was my
49:52
producer, Keith Bradford and OK, we it was that song.
50:01
I wrote that song in like 6-7 minutes in the shower and I
50:06
jumped out and said, hey, I got a number one song.
50:08
I love it. That's, that's, that's, that's
50:12
the way to write songs, man, that's.
50:13
Those are the best ones that just come out organically.
50:16
Everything that we wrote in Nemesis, for the most part, it
50:19
was just straight up woke up one day, oh, here's this song, you
50:21
know, here's the idea and boom. Most of them, you know, they
50:26
talk about the left side. Left side of brain does one
50:29
thing and right does the other. One's logic, the one's the
50:32
creative. The one writes lyrics, the one
50:35
writes music. Which one do you do first?
50:39
I said. Well, wait a minute, both men
50:42
come out at the same time. Does that mean my head
50:44
scrambled? No, they say.
50:49
That's one of the only acts that uses both sides of your brain at
50:53
the same time. Yeah.
50:54
Is playing music. Yeah, Yep.
50:57
Well I got 5 Juke boxes in my head going on all the time and I
51:01
mean I'm always. I feel your brother.
51:03
I feel there you. Go.
51:05
There you go. That's awesome.
51:07
Well, Drain, this has been a hell of a show, man.
51:09
We definitely went ahead to come back on when you get all your
51:11

51:14
And and you know, let's let's get you on after the first of
51:16

51:18
