- 0:10Welcome back to another edition of Kings B.
- 0:13On this episode. I have my good friend.
- 0:15JD marshalling to discuss Texas Music.
- 0:18We have a really good discussion about many different Texas
- 0:22artists such as shiny ribs. Pat Green Turnpike Troubadours.
- 0:28Whiskey Myers Cody. Jinx and a few, I've never even
- 0:31heard of I first met, Jay Dee a few years ago at the Golden
- 0:36Nugget in Lake Charles and we have we just been really good
- 0:40friends ever since I was sitting at the, Cadillac Bar sitting
- 0:44actually at the bar grabbing a little supper, one night and I
- 0:47met his lovely wife, Amber. She was waiting on him to come
- 0:51in from work. He was driving over something.
- 0:53She had already beat him there and we ordered some chips.
- 0:56Well, let me correct that I ordered some chips because As we
- 1:00were talking she was outraged that the place made you buy
- 1:04chips. I mean most Tex-Mex restaurants
- 1:07just give your chips not that place.
- 1:10So out of principle she just straight-up wasn't going to buy
- 1:13any just wasn't going to buy chips house in look, I really
- 1:17want some chips and queso, so I'm gonna buy them, I'm gonna
- 1:20buy them. You can have some so she did and
- 1:23we waited waited on JD to get there.
- 1:26She told me you're absolutely going to love my husband.
- 1:29Got to stick around. You got to wait for him to get
- 1:32here. You're really going to like him.
- 1:33She was right. As soon as he got there.
- 1:36I mean the three of us. Just we just hit it off and we
- 1:39all really we just became very, very good friends real quick.
- 1:43It was, it was pretty obvious that that they were cool people
- 1:47there, music nuts. Just like my wife and me, they
- 1:50love to go to concerts eat, good food and just have fun.
- 1:54So I mean what is not to like about that JD's given me so
- 1:59many. Good music recommendations over
- 2:02the years especially in what I guess you could label as
- 2:05alt-country I just call it good music.
- 2:08I want you to make sure that you tune in again next week he and I
- 2:12dive into some Texas. Barbecue, his award winning
- 2:16competition. Team his partnership with Alex,
- 2:19bregman and the bragi bomb brand and and much much more.
- 2:23It's a it's a great one. Honestly, think we could have
- 2:26taught barbecue and music for two straight days.
- 2:29Days. It was just it was a blast it
- 2:32was an absolute blast so without any further Ado mr.
- 2:35JD Marsh, welcome to Tigs bitzer.
- 2:39Thanks for coming on. Happy to be here.
- 2:41Y'all have to excuse my Aggie, sign the back there.
- 2:44I didn't realize I was sitting in the spot.
- 2:47Well fortunately this isn't on video so no one will see that.
- 2:52Extremely disturbing and ugly. Texas, A&M Aggies sign behind
- 2:58you. So will we can move?
- 3:00As that you ignore my LS U hat. I will call it even.
- 3:05Yeah. There we get past this.
- 3:07Well, I'll tell you before the last hour, getting kind of
- 3:12prepped for the show, getting getting in the right mindset, I
- 3:17had my Spotify playlist play in jamming, some shiny ribs,
- 3:22because you're the one who introduced me to those guys.
- 3:26Yeah, and you told me, you need to check them out.
- 3:29So I Did and went dang, these guys are freaking awesome.
- 3:33Who else? You got?
- 3:34You've sent me several over over the years but I remember I saw I
- 3:41think I saw a shiny rims was playing in Baton Rouge at some
- 3:43little, I don't remember. Where was you?
- 3:45Tell me where it is? There red dragon.
- 3:47There you go. And I remember, I told you, I
- 3:50said, man, these guys are playing Baton Rouge.
- 3:52You need to go check them out. And everyone I've ever told that
- 3:55to says, What the hell is Sonny ribs, what kind of music is it?
- 3:59If you, if you haven't seen it, you can't explain it.
- 4:02No, it's a, it's a little country.
- 4:05It's a little Funk. It's a little Blues.
- 4:08It's I don't know what it is, but it's damn good, whatever it
- 4:11is. I know that I know that in a
- 4:14site and it's, and it's shown me in a live show in a small venue
- 4:18like you've never seen. Oh man.
- 4:20So I find I got to see them at the red dragon here in Baton.
- 4:26Rouge and this place holds. Man, I think it's less than 75
- 4:31people make less than 100 will say, but I think it's more like
- 4:3650. I mean it's a small room, their
- 4:40couches and chairs and it's worked out.
- 4:44The guy who runs it here is phenomenal.
- 4:47He's awesome. And he brings a lot of
- 4:50singer-songwriters, that kind of, you know, alt-country type
- 4:55thing. Whatever label you want to put
- 4:57on it, mainly singer. Songwriters though, and the
- 5:00folks at this place here in Baton Rouge brings in, they
- 5:03bring in some amazing acts, they really, really do just some
- 5:09phenomenal guys. They don't get enough love, you
- 5:13know how that goes. So we're you know, we're lucky
- 5:16here here in the Houston area where I live.
- 5:18I live about out and over 60 miles west of downtown Houston.
- 5:22We're lucky in this whole area, the whole state of Texas for
- 5:25that matter, and they've got it pours into Louisiana and
- 5:28Oklahoma, as well. Well, but right, we're lucky
- 5:30that man. There's such support for those
- 5:33local, Texas, Red Dirt, whatever you want to call them.
- 5:37Homegrown guys that are just singer-songwriters and better
- 5:40than any of the crap. You're going to hear aundre.
- 5:42Yeah. Absolutely.
- 5:45I was listing and kind of my Jam's.
- 5:49It just randomly played a guy tonight.
- 5:51I'd never heard Sam, Sam, more. Oh, I don't know if you even
- 5:56know him, I don't know. Somehow I know there it went.
- 5:58From Kevin, Russell shiny ribs straight to this guy, dude, he
- 6:04was the most badass song. I've heard in a long time it had
- 6:07a Waylon feel to it and and and all of this and quick-fix by
- 6:11Sam, Morrow. He reminds me of Shooter
- 6:14Jennings in a way. He has that kind of California
- 6:19sound. That's rooted in Outlaw country.
- 6:22I mean, for I don't like putting labels on stuff.
- 6:26I agree. The Bakersfield sound with an
- 6:28Law education. I think that's the best way to
- 6:31sum it up. So let me ask you what are some
- 6:33bands these days. Of course we love shiny.
- 6:36Ribs who are some folks that you're into that we need to
- 6:40listen to, I'll go into this, I'll start here, I'm sitting in
- 6:42my man cave upstairs. We got a lot of sports
- 6:45memorabilia, music memorabilia, stuff like that.
- 6:47I've got four posters hanging above my pool table.
- 6:50My four favorite singer song. Writers of all time.
- 6:53I got shiny ribs. I got Robert.
- 6:55Earl Keen. I got Jerry.
- 6:57Jeff Walker and Guy Clark. Gun cocks.
- 6:59My number one all-time singer-songwriter hands down.
- 7:03Not even close. I think that started when I was
- 7:05probably probably 16, I discovered God Clark and I'm 40
- 7:0841. Now, I discovered Guy Clark,
- 7:11when I was about 16 and just all, I'd heard up to that point
- 7:14in my life was what's on the radio and the Nashville Country
- 7:17radio, George? George Strait Garth Brooks,
- 7:19which hey, I love both of those guys.
- 7:21Sure. Yeah, absolutely.
- 7:23You can and you get into a guy Clark and that's something
- 7:25totally different and You know, that that I started there and
- 7:31that, that moved me into Jerry Jeff Walker from Jerry.
- 7:34Jeff Walker, when the Gary P9, and then about that time, that
- 7:38when I was a senior in high school, I guess is window.
- 7:40The Texas Music, steam really started blowing up.
- 7:43That's when Pat Green was blowing up.
- 7:45Oh yeah. Corey Moore was blown up shortly
- 7:48afterwards, Charlie Robinson and jacking Rob and all those guys.
- 7:52And man, I was hooked. I was hooked.
- 7:55I went to shows every weekend and I'm not Into any Nashville
- 8:00Country radio since then in 20 plus years you know, this but no
- 8:07no I will be somewhere in some come on the radio and I'll come
- 8:10on in a bar or something and then I've never heard that.
- 8:13Everybody have you never heard of that?
- 8:15I listen to it, I don't know. No, the only reason I have an
- 8:20exposure to all of that is because of my daughter, you
- 8:23know? And and yes, I will admit that
- 8:27I've seen Luke. Ryan four times whatever.
- 8:31So by I've seen that the Houston Rodeo number times I like him,
- 8:35I'm not gonna lie. Controversial take I don't
- 8:39necessarily think a lot. I've Luke Bryan, show sucks.
- 8:43I think it's actually kind of fun.
- 8:45I was going to say he hooked me with Metallica.
- 8:48The first time I saw him, he had just come out with a Country,
- 8:52Girl, Shake It For Me. Now the song before his Encore
- 8:56was Enter Sandman by Metallica And I went huh?
- 9:00Well, I wasn't expecting this and this is awesome.
- 9:03Yeah, he's good. Yeah, every I've seen him in
- 9:06numerous times every Nashville artist that I've seen in concert
- 9:09last 20 years has been either at the Houston Rodeo, the San
- 9:12Antonio Road. Sure, that's the only time I
- 9:14will see ya. We're at concerts very regularly
- 9:16to see other folks. Yeah, really enjoy real meat
- 9:20real. Well, I don't want to say not a
- 9:22real musician because I think it's a little bit of an odd
- 9:25musician. Absolutely, Luke.
- 9:26Bryan's it absolutely. A Mission and Mike said he's a
- 9:29hell of a showman. He's a hell of a show.
- 9:30He is he knows how to work a crowd, everybody loves him.
- 9:35He's just a good old boy but look, I can't hate on him for
- 9:39Nashville. Wanted to plug him in and he got
- 9:41to go make millions doing that. I'd have done it too.
- 9:44I think most of them would I hear?
- 9:47He's a great guy. I know people that have hunted
- 9:48with him and whatnot. They say yeah, awesome guy to
- 9:51hang out with. So I got nothing against him.
- 9:53I just don't particularly care for his music and no, I don't
- 9:55care for his sound that That I do.
- 10:00You know what? At the end of the day, he
- 10:02probably don't either, but he gets paid a lot for it and he
- 10:05would rather dig in the trenches and and grind it out and be with
- 10:09the fine folks like shiny ribs. Like, dude.
- 10:13That guy. What a showman, what is shown
- 10:15that no doubt about that? He wears a suit and tie.
- 10:17Every show sweating is a soft dancing, like a madman.
- 10:21He's like, James Brown dancing up.
- 10:22There he is insane, but you would think, what is this guy
- 10:25on, you talk to him before. Show you talk to me after a
- 10:28show. So he played my backyard for my
- 10:3040th birthday. Two years ago, he is the nicest
- 10:33down-to-earth. Most level-headed normal guy you
- 10:35could ever meet, but then he gets on stage and flips a
- 10:37switch, and he's a Madman Duty goes crazy.
- 10:41It's amazing. It's like a, it's like a
- 10:44well-oiled machine. Like a, like an athlete.
- 10:48It's like Jordan. Yes.
- 10:50Just chilling in the locker room and then going out and drop and
- 10:5450 on you. I mean, the dude, it's insane.
- 10:57It really is. That dudes, amazing.
- 11:00He can he can sure move for a fat boy.
- 11:03He can dude's got some moves. Yep.
- 11:06Yeah, he's a he's just south. He's a Southeast Texas boy from
- 11:09over there and round orange a Beaumont somewhere around over
- 11:12there. Is that where he's from?
- 11:14I Didn't Know. I think Sour Lake maybe
- 11:16actually. But yeah over in that open that
- 11:18that Golden Triangle area somewhere?
- 11:19Well, he does have, he has a fondness for Louisiana and his
- 11:24song 100%. And and so I know Oh, he
- 11:29obviously has some family in Louisiana because he spent time
- 11:33over here. Of course, that would make
- 11:35sense. Living, you know, growing up
- 11:36around orange and it's like Charles, you know, it's one of
- 11:41my, one of the first song you told me I needed to listen, to
- 11:45take me to Lake Charles. Yes, that's what you said.
- 11:47You said, start there and I did. And then I win.
- 11:50Oh, these guys are awesome. I love it.
- 11:53So to Circle back. He's asking you know who are
- 11:55some of my guys now that I'm listening to The big one for me,
- 11:59the past 10 years has been Turnpike Turnpike Turnpike
- 12:03Troubadours. Just man, something about those
- 12:05guys and feltner is a hell of a songwriter.
- 12:08I relate a lot to his songs. Love everything about it.
- 12:12And I was, you know, they went, they went through their, their
- 12:16troubles here last few years and I haven't, Som some problems.
- 12:19They had to break up. We didn't know if it ever get
- 12:21back together again. All right.
- 12:23Hey man. When they came back together, we
- 12:25went about a month ago, I guess we went and saw him at Red
- 12:27Rocks. Cool man on unbelievable.
- 12:31Do? They knew unbelievable.
- 12:33So everything about it. Just don't believe.
- 12:35Was that your first time at Red Rocks?
- 12:37It was, it was have you been there?
- 12:39I have. I've been there twice.
- 12:41How amazing is that place? Huh.
- 12:43Unbelievable unbelievable. We went with two other couples
- 12:48and we made a pact. We said hey, we don't care who
- 12:50it is. Once a year, we're coming back
- 12:52here to watch a show. We'll find somebody we want to
- 12:54see. We're going to come by after
- 12:57being there. There's no, there's no In place.
- 12:59I don't know. I don't know how it can get.
- 13:00I don't know how it can get any better.
- 13:02There is no better place. You know I did a did my concert
- 13:06top 10 and all that and I thought about breaking it down
- 13:09into a like a concert venue top 10.
- 13:13I'm like well there's only one and it's really not even worth
- 13:19discussing the other nine. Frankly I agree I just shot to
- 13:23number one and not even close to my book and I named close.
- 13:26Is it not the sound? That's yeah.
- 13:29In that place. Every little note from a guitar.
- 13:33Every little note that sung like everything, there's no Echo.
- 13:37Yeah, I don't know how to explain it.
- 13:39Like the Reverb is just perfect but it doesn't go far and it
- 13:43vibrates through you. I don't when you're sitting on
- 13:46top, you're sitting on top of this mountain looking down, by
- 13:49mistake age, into this Valley and these huge lit up, rocks on
- 13:53both. Starting just the whole
- 13:54atmosphere. He's unbelievable.
- 13:56Unbelievable. There's Denver down.
- 13:58They're in the in the corner to off to your, right?
- 14:03It's just yeah dude. It gives me gives me chill bumps
- 14:06just thinking about the place because it's just so incredible.
- 14:10That was awesome. So turn the probably past 10
- 14:12years Turnpike has been my my favorite band going another one
- 14:17last five years is going to be the read Southall band at
- 14:20Oklahoma. I'm not sure if you're familiar
- 14:21with them, I'm not at all. Never even heard of them, those
- 14:25guys, they They're out of Oklahoma and their first album
- 14:31was called Six Strings sorrow and it's just an acoustic album
- 14:35that sounds like it was recorded in somebody's garage and it may
- 14:37have been, I don't know, but it is an awesome album, awesome
- 14:41songwriting. And since then their, their
- 14:43albums that have come out since then, I wouldn't even call them
- 14:45country. I think they're, I think they're
- 14:47more southern rock, kind of a kind of a Skynyrd kind of band.
- 14:51Okay, kind of these days, Whiskey Myers table, and, you
- 14:54know, something, something along those lines, it's definitely
- 14:56heavier than Country. But still has a country
- 15:00underlying to it. So yeah.
- 15:01They're they're badass. We went I think two weeks ago,
- 15:04three weeks ago. We went saw Cody Jinx here at
- 15:06The Woodlands. He was unbelievable.
- 15:09I like Cody Jinx man. I really that guy's been popping
- 15:14up a lot for me lately, I don't know, I don't know his catalog
- 15:18Deep by any means but that guy's voice.
- 15:22Unbelievable blows me away. You know, he started out in a
- 15:26metal band back in the day, A in Dallas, but we were lucky
- 15:29enough. We got to go, it was me and
- 15:30Amber and the kids watch that show.
- 15:31We were lucky enough to get to go backstage and go on Cody's
- 15:34bus and meatball them and what not just the nicest guy him his
- 15:39bandmates his Tormentor, everybody just the nicest people
- 15:41you could ever meet and puts on a hell of a show and then
- 15:45opening for him at that show was Lucas Nelson, but we Nelson son.
- 15:49Oh yeah, dude look, I've been jamming Lucas for a while, dude.
- 15:54That's the first time I've seen him.
- 15:55That's the first time I'd seen him live.
- 15:57That Guy was Unreal live. He just, he brought the house
- 16:02down live. He was so good.
- 16:04And he's a, you know, for people who don't know him, he sounds a
- 16:06lot like his dad but not, they does he does.
- 16:10But he doesn't, you know, he can't, you hear it, you can hear
- 16:13it in the divorce, but it's totally different, kind of
- 16:14music. He's got a very bluesy Soulful
- 16:17type of music to him. I don't know if you're familiar
- 16:21at all with the Teske Brothers out of Australia.
- 16:24No, check them out. They're awesome.
- 16:26He reminded me a lot of them there.
- 16:27Very bluesy and he reminded me a lot of those guys.
- 16:32What I love about him is as just the way he he harmonizes a
- 16:37guitar with his vocals. Yeah but it works.
- 16:47It absolutely Works pan. It it's fantastic.
- 16:51Yeah. I've never seen I've not seen
- 16:53him live. But is it is it still Lucas?
- 16:57And the promise of the real or whatever.
- 17:00Is that still the name of his band?
- 17:02Yeah. Whatever.
- 17:02Yes. Something like that.
- 17:04I can't remember exactly what it is.
- 17:05But something along those lines. It was his very first album and
- 17:08I don't remember the name of the song, but I heard it like
- 17:12randomly playing on Spotify. Like you know, I'd played a song
- 17:15and then it just started doing its thing or whatever.
- 17:18It's so Soulful and bluesy, you're right?
- 17:21Yeah, I think if you want to you're in my book, you won't
- 17:24hear the quintessential Lucas Nelson.
- 17:26Go check out fine. Yourself that song is phenomenal
- 17:29and that kind of brings in all the blues heinous and whatnot.
- 17:31I think that's awesome. It was 2010, dude, that's
- 17:34whenever of the first album that I listened to have him.
- 17:37It's Polly Polly Gap, the Gap and hey baby.
- 17:41Hey, baby. Yep, I know that.
- 17:43Yep. I know that one that's the one
- 17:44that blew my freaking mind, man and it and he he yes he
- 17:48definitely has that mean this rude.
- 17:51He has that nasally sound, you know that, that that that will
- 17:55he's got maybe not quite As much, but it's definitely there.
- 18:00You can. You can hear me know?
- 18:01He's Willie Nelson's son. Absolutely, the signature is
- 18:04there 100% Nature's there, but it's done.
- 18:07Just right? And I love look, dude, you got
- 18:11to think Willie, Nelson's, son, kicks ass.
- 18:14And so, does Waylon Jennings son.
- 18:17I've always loved shooter, 100%, I think whenever that album
- 18:21first, came out his first album and going to Carolina, I think
- 18:25it was or that song I think. Is on there.
- 18:28Maybe that was his second album. Got the album.
- 18:30The one with the Fourth of July at one, Whelan is my favorite
- 18:37country. Dude.
- 18:39Outlaw, whatever you want to call him.
- 18:42Whatever label you want to give him Whelan's.
- 18:44Always been my favorite, right? I just love.
- 18:47I love his guitar. I love how he loved the Reverb
- 18:50in it, and then to hear his son come out.
- 18:53Who doesn't really do anything like his dad at all?
- 18:56No. Butt kicks ass in his own way,

- 20:24Whiskey Myers, is sitting, right next to me at the bar, And you
- 20:28can, if anybody's ever seen this, dude, you can't mistake
- 20:30him. I knew exactly who he was, but
- 20:31sat down and so we set there and bullshit all night hell of a
- 20:35nice guy. I think there's like a Wednesday
- 20:37night or something that I think there wasn't five people in that
- 20:40whole bar and he came and sat down right next to me.
- 20:42There's so much, there's so much good music out there, so much
- 20:44good music out there right now. You know, I mentioned my for
- 20:48favorites when we started talking about the music and this
- 20:51year, Robert Earl Keen is hanging up, supposedly, hang it
- 20:54up after this year. That's what I heard.
- 20:56He's on his feet. World Tour and he's playing a,
- 21:00for a week in August, playing a bunch of great venues here in
- 21:03Texas. He's playing greenhalgh is
- 21:06playing. I think Billy Bob's and then
- 21:09close it out at floors. Country Store, his last concert
- 21:12floors, conjured stores where he recorded his live donor.
- 21:15Number two, album, back in their mid 90s, okay, which is got to
- 21:19be his biggest album ever. Oh, yeah, that I mean, that's,
- 21:21that's where I've got introduced to Pat G.
- 21:25Yes, that's where Zico. Who's this guy?
- 21:29Okay, I like him. I'm a big music buff and I'm
- 21:32like, you, I'm my musical taste know what, my favorites are
- 21:36like, said the old country, The Outlaw come A huge going back to
- 21:40Gary. Stewart, I love various to, oh,
- 21:42yes! Oh God, I said God, Clark
- 21:45already, guys like that. I love that old music me.
- 21:47Willie Nelson, I love that Waylon Jennings.
- 21:49I love that and then I love, I love 80s and 90s country music.
- 21:53I grew up listening to Alabama and George Strait.
- 21:56Those kind of folks Since then in the 90s, man, there's
- 21:59Kick-Ass music in the 90s. Oh, hell yes.
- 22:02Then I feel like it all went wrong after that.
- 22:04Really did, didn't it? It just died.
- 22:07He did, I don't know what happened but there's plenty of
- 22:09good music out there. If you go looking for whether
- 22:12you know the guys I've already mentioned there's Tyler child or
- 22:14he's he's a badass Sturgill Simpson's a badass.
- 22:18There's so much great music out there that's just under
- 22:20appreciated by the Nashville machine.
- 22:22And I think, I think they're going to have to wake up to it.
- 22:25Just like Willie and Waylon And those guys did back in the early
- 22:2970s, starting to Outlaw movement, they all moved to
- 22:32Austin, started doing their own thing and Nashville had to take
- 22:35notice because they started putting a dent in their bottom
- 22:39line. I think the same thing, they're
- 22:40having a, I think that's happening again right now and
- 22:43especially the way radio doesn't matter as much.
- 22:47Obviously, CD cells, don't matter at all.
- 22:49Everything is screened and YouTube and take others, guys,
- 22:53look at that Zack. Brian guy.
- 22:55Is that exact Brian? Yeah.
- 22:57So he started just putting out videos of him sitting around a
- 23:01campfire singing songs and now he's one of the biggest damn
- 23:05acts to going right now. He's put out a 34 song album.
- 23:08Wow. And he's he's blowing up.
- 23:10He's got some great songs but you know, guys don't have to
- 23:15take the same path like I used to and deal with that music
- 23:18machine. I think, I think Nashville is
- 23:20going to have to take notice of that.
- 23:22I agree, 100%. I mean, he, how can they not?
- 23:27Night, they played the same thing for 15 years in Nashville.
- 23:32It's a song, Same seven. So we were, I think it was
- 23:35probably a year ago. We were on a road trip,
- 23:37somewhere, on the middle of nowhere, where we didn't get
- 23:39any, any good radio stations, and it was on a Sunday
- 23:42afternoon, they had the country top 20 or whatever the hell it
- 23:45is on Sunday. Afternoons.
- 23:47And we were listening is like a top five songs and they all
- 23:50sounded exactly the same. Exactly the same man.
- 23:54Another guy that's coming up and actually is making Headway.
- 23:57A lot of Headway in a lot of noise in Nashville.
- 23:59Was Cody Johnson. Yeah.
- 24:00And he's the real deal. Yeah, I know him personally a
- 24:03little bit. He's a hell of a good dude.
- 24:05And man, he's, he puts on, he puts on one of the best shows
- 24:09you've ever seen. He's, he's Garth.
- 24:10Brooks 2.0 in concert. He puts on a show, the fam and I
- 24:14all, we all saw Garth Brooks here in Tiger stadium.
- 24:19I've seen Garth Brooks before and it was incredible and loved
- 24:23it. It was whenever he first came
- 24:25back five years. Ago or whatever, 2017, 16,
- 24:30whatever to hearing play-calling, Baton Rouge and
- 24:32Tiger Stadium. I mean, come on, I was about to
- 24:35say I've seen videos, but I know videos can't do it justice.
- 24:39I bet that was just blow the, there's no roof on the place but
- 24:43blow the roof. If there was it would have been
- 24:45blown off. I promise you at Place With.
- 24:48No I can't imagine how wow that was.
- 24:50Yeah I think it was freaking amazing and that when we left
- 24:57The stadium. My ears were ringing.
- 25:00And yeah, and it wasn't because the music was loud.
- 25:03I mean the music was, it was great.
- 25:05I've seen a lot of people Dierks Bentley is the loudest person
- 25:10that I've seen in there is all on the same night.
- 25:12He pushed the speakers to the limits.
- 25:15It got a little distorted. Yeah, but it was still awesome.
- 25:19He puts on a great show to. I've seen them several times.
- 25:22Yeah, he's awesome but it wasn't that loud.
- 25:27It wasn't any that the the guard?
- 25:28It was it sounded. It was perfect.
- 25:31It was it was loud enough. It wasn't overly loud.
- 25:34It was just right. But when he did call him Baton
- 25:37Rouge, that's the loudest. I think I've ever heard Tiger
- 25:41Stadium. No game.
- 25:43I don't think any game even matched how loud that.
- 25:46That play it went crazy dude. It went I can imagine get chill
- 25:49bumps again dude, it just went nuts.
- 25:52I'll tell you a funny story so I'm not that I'm not an LSU guy.
- 25:56Raggy In his house, but I got no problem with LSU.
- 26:00In, you'll be able to tell me better to thought what you're
- 26:03doing LSU be. Do you in the national
- 26:05championship? 2002 was the 2003 season and
- 26:09they played in 2004, and January is when they when they play
- 26:13Oklahoma. So me and a bunch of dudes, I
- 26:15was living in Dallas at the time, made a bunch of dudes,
- 26:18loaded up an RV and drove to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl that
- 26:23year, just on a whim and parked in the parking lot down by the
- 26:27sea. The dome for three or four days.
- 26:28He'll I don't know how long. Our there had a time of our
- 26:30lives and man I remember being it.
- 26:34I remember being at a cat's meow on Bourbon Street.

- 27:12chance in hell, a beat in Oklahoma, that day to begin
- 27:16with. And there's no t-mod.
