  Speaker 1: I'm on it. And they haven't. They haven't shut down
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: commercial flights. I heard they're really cheap this time of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the year, so we'll, we'll, we could probably make that happen.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: At this time of the virus. They're really cheap.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Somebody I was looking at was trying to get from

  Speaker 1: Florida to Washington and was ninety five dollars round trip.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, you probably should go, and he's.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Like, who was that? Who was that flight with?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't ask, but I could find out for you.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it would have been South Florida, So I don't
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and I don't know. There's a lot of flights that
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: come into Florida. Sure, I highly recommend it because there's
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of craziness with spring breakers going down down there.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I told them just to kind of hunker downstall. But yeah,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: So first off, thank you very much for taking.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Should I have this like that? Wow?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: That makes the beard pop even more.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: That's good beard.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: It's awkward because when I when I look in that
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: myself and the thing and I try to check, move
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: the phone like it should be.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: It's awkward. Okay, there we go. It's not.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It's not awkward for us, if that makes it feel
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: any better.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: So it looks good.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: You look good, So quick, little We got a couple
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of questions for you. So one thing that you probably
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: hear a lot, but we wanted to just kind of
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: ask you as well, like what got you into music?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Was it something you did as a kid and you
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: were like, damn, I guess I had the music in me.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Or was it something that you kind of really struggled
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: with and you had to works like a little bit
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: extra hard to you know, become the music genius that
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you are today.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about no genius. That's that's how
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I praise.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: But hey, that's that's my that's that's my personal opinion.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Take it as it is.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Well, I so appreciate that, man, honor. I'm honored to
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: hear it. On music, I was, I was singing out
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: of the womb. I just was able to do that
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: out of the womb from God's graces of grace and
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: me with talent. But uh, to try to make a
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: long story short, I was I used to mimic people.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: So I would mimic other artists and and I thought
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I did a pretty good job of doing it back
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: in the day, people like Mahela Jackson and yeah, even
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: women before I hit puberty, I would I would mimic women.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Logan still kem.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well maybe he'll hit puberty someday.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Well wait, it actually happened two years ago. I'm thirty
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: nine now.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And then he grew away. Congratulations.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then then I grew a beard.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It was awesome.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Did you did you you have a late puberty party?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I know a good band you could hire to come play.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Yes you do, Yes, you do work in hey.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: So anyway back to non puberty.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: So I grew up singing other people like Boys the
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Men and Charlie Daniels and Leonard skinnerd and Elvis Presley
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: BB King, just mimicking all these people and thought I
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: sounded just like them to my ears.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my, my.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: The two people in my family that I looked up to,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: that that did music for a living and for the
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: churches and things like that. Uh, I always wanted their approval,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: so I would ask them, Hey, how do I sound?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Did this sound good?
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Or did that sound good or whatever, and they would
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: they would say things like mm hmm, that's all right,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: or you should probably start playing drum if you want
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: to get into music or something. And I was always
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: beaten down by that. You know, I don't knock them
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: for it. If that's their real opinion, that's fine. But
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: years later, in two thousand and five, I believe it was.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I got an Apple MacBook and it changed my life forever.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I was able to record from Garage Band, the preloaded
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: app that they have on there ye, and I decided
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I could record myself. So I wanted to see if
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: it was if I really sounded like I thought I
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: sounded or not, And so I started recording myself. I
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: didn't sound too bad to me, but uh, I went to.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: But I still was mimicking other people. So I sounded
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: like other people. And there's no there's no market for
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: somebody that sounds like everybody else because those people already exist.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: So I didn't have my own voice. I didn't have.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I didn't even know what I sounded like singing because
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: I've never sang myself.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Was always mimicking someone else. But uh, we went to.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I wanted to record my uncle and my cousin and
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I the two people I looked up to, and I
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: wanted to record all of us singing the song Hallelujah.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: And so we went and tried to do that.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: We never finished it, and my uncle had to leave,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: and I said, I told my cousin, I said, look,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I want to get something done before I go that
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I can edit, so I can practice editing and see
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: what it's like, you know, to learn.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: And uh, he said, what do you want to do?
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: And I just picked a song out of the hymn
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: book and the song that I had never heard anybody
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: sing before, so I had no reference. And it was
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: a great speckled bird. And since I had no reference,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I had to sing from the heart. Played it and
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I sang it. It was the first time I'd ever
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: heard my own voice, and it was uh it was
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: a I got chills when I sang that first time.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: And and uh I came out and I was like, man,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I said, you hear that have that sound?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: He goes, that's all right, okay, Well you keep the
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: same energy, I see, okay.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: And uh.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: So I left there and showed it to my uncle
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: who had left, and he said, he said, well, because
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: my cousin was recording albums already.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Uh, so he thought that he had edited my.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Voice and things like this, so well he changed he
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: did something to your voice and changed it up and
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: and I said, no, he didn't. I said, this is
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: that was, that's just raw, that's just me saying, that's
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: all that is. And uh, he didn't believe it. And
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: then until years later. So then I posted a video
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: and I said, let's see if let's see if I'm
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: really supposed to do this for a living or not.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I'll make a video and put it on Facebook. And
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I did that and it got like thirty thousand views,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: and I thought, man, I'm famous now, yeah, and I was.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: I said, shoot, I'm edit for the stars. And then
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: nothing happened for a long time. Besides, I was working
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: for my father at his mechanic shop and people would
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: be people started calling and saying, man, and that song
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: moved me to tears, and when are you doing an album?
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: When are you coming out with an album? And he
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: got me thinking. I was like, maybe maybe that's God
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: saying this is what you're supposed to do. And so
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I took the last three thousand dollars I had and
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I made an album.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I went to Nashville, came to Nashville and.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Slipping in the back of my uncle's van, not the
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: same uncle, but the back of my other uncle's van.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And maybe I had thousand dollars for some songs.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: That's awesome now that the uncle would have believed that
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you were sleeping in the van anyways.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you wouldn't believe it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: So did you just happen to have an uncle that
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: was in Nashville.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: No, well, I had an uncle in Nashville hopefully would
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: have let me sleep in his house.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: I was like, what a what a mean guy?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can come, Marty, were just leaving in that
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: van out there.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And rumor has it in two thousand and five,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: once you bought the MacBook, you were the one that
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: actually took the bite out of the apple and gave
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: it iconic apple.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Look, right, I did, I did it. I did.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Indeed, I wanted to show people how the Apple logo
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: was the forbidden fruit and we're all biting off the
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: tree of knowledge.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I was just wondering if you have ever
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: googled yourself? And the reason I asked this because when
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you google your name it shows people also search for.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: And your other search company is Vanilla Ice, Otis, Redding, Coolio, Skinnered,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Bill Withers, just to name a few. Like, that's some
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: pretty amazing company right there.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: It is. I don't deserve to be in it, but
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: that's an amazing company. For sure.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: That's just Google's algorithm. I'm sure because I've done covers
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: of all those people's songs, So yeah, that's sure, that's
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: what that is. I don't I don't think it's people's
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: you know, saying hey man, he's as good as Withers
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: for sure. But uh, if that is what he's doing,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: then I'm definitely honored by that.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Or what they stand next to you and the beard
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and they're like, well, I guess there ain't no sunshine.

• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the amazing you know company through there on Google, and
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: one thing I wanted to ask, like, You've met some
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: pretty amazing people in this and throughout this journey, and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I know you can't pick a favorite, but there has
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to be at least somebody that sticks out in your
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: mind that's, you know, through this ventures You're like, this
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: was a really cool moment in my life, and I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: just wanted to know, you know, one of those moments
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: tell you wanted to speak.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: About, Well, there is several, but I'll tell you the
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: one that's most unbelievable and sounds like it's a movie
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: and that it's hard to believe. It's just it just
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: because it keeps the story keeps getting bigger and bigger
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: as I tell it. But I'm gonna tell it and
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: people can choose to believe it or not. Before I
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: had any fans at all, I had these people that
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: were encouraging me in music to to go after this
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: thing that when I made that first album and completed
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: it and got the CDs and things like that, I thought,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: hey man, this is gonna sell like hotcakes.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: And it didn't do that. It did not do that
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: And but I was taking it around and I was
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: meeting these other artists that had achieved what I was
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: trying to achieve. And these some of them were legends,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: were talking Charlie Daniels and and BB King and Charlie Daniels.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I met him, and you know, you hand.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Your music to these people and you know that they
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: get this all the time time, but you still do
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: it just by some glimmer of hope that they will
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: listen and maybe be able to help you out in
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: some way, which is most likely never gonna happen. And uh,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: but I handed my album to Charlie Daniels one time.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: This is not the story, but this is a quick one.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Handed my album to Charlie Daniels. And it was about
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: a month or two later he tweeted me and I
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: saved the tweet. He tweeted me and said, Marty Ray,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: that Marty Ray Project, listen to your album.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: It rocks.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: And I was like, wow, man, Like that really boosted
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: me in a place where I was about to give up,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: you know, and I was like this is too hard, man,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I can't. It's just too hard to break into this thing.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: And uh, when I seen that, I was like, all right,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I gotta keep going. And so then I met I
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: went to a BB King's concert and uh when he
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: was he was old at this point, he was like
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: in a wheelchair already, and uh he was uh, well
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: he had to be wheeled around in a wheelchair.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: But he sat in a chair in the middle of
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the stage.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: And I was on the front row and he was playing,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: and I'm just sitting there vibing, you know, I'm like,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: oh man, oh, BB, you know, just just killing it
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: up there. And even though he was an older man,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: he still killed it. And he stopped in the middle
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: of a show, in the middle of the show, and
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: he points over there at me, and he says, as
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: long as that man right there is having a good time,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: so am I.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: And he goes matter.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Back mawn thrill is gone on the way, and I
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: was like, what the heck man, he's talking to me,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: And everybody was looking at me. They thought I knew
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: him somehow, and I didn't know BB. I knew who
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: he was, but I didn't. I've never met him before.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: And uh, I was like, what in the world's happening?
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: This is amazing. So if the story stopped there, it's
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: already amazing, but it just progressively gets bigger and crazier.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: So after the show, I knew the person that was
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: putting that show on, so I had the blessing of
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: being able to go backstage and meet B. B.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: King Wow personally.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: And uh, but we're going up to the stage, and
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: we're going behind the stage and it's pitch black dark.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: You can't see anything besides the flashlight that they're leading
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: you by in front of you. And there's this row
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: of security guards that are standing there with their arms
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: crossed blocking us from from going. So if we're going
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: like this, where's the camera. If we're going like this,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: the security guards you're over here, right, So there's a
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: line of security so we can't go like this and
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: go to the stage. So, but you can't see anything
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: anyway besides them in this narrow little pathway that you're
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: walking on. As I'm everybody there's there's like hundreds of
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: people walking back there, and I'm walking back and all
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, through these security guards comes this
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: this massive hand comes out and grabs my hand and
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: starts pulling me to those security guards.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, what in the world's going on here?
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: And just a massive hand and he pulls me into
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: these security guards are pushing me and they're saying, you
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: gotta leave, and I'm like, somebody got a hold of
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: my hand. And they parted ways and it was BB
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: King in a wheelchair pulling me to him and he said.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: He looked up at me and he goes, he goes,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I want you to know that I enjoyed having you tonight.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: And I said, as yeah, you know, that's kind of
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: what came out right.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: What the freak You're supposed to say? Like why? How?
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Why do I deserve this attention?
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: What is this?
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: And he said, I look forward to seeing you back there.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: And I was like, this is crazy, man, and I
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: have I have a Martin guitar.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: And B B.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: King was under contract with Gips and guitars. He was
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: not he was obligating. He was contractually obligated to only
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: sign Gibson guitars. So I waited in the end of
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: that line and let all these people go in there first.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: And they were trying.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: They were meeting him, and they were getting a picture
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: and they were talking to him briefly, and they were
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: just kind of moving people along like a cattle call
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: or whatever, and they were taking guitars in there. And
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: anybody that didn't have a Gibson guitar was being you know,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: shoot away, they would not get a signature. So I
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: seen that and I was like, oh man, he's not
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: gonna sign my Martin for sure then, but I took
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: it anyway. And as soon as I got in there.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: As soon as I walked in, he looks up and
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: he goes his eyes lit up and he said, there's
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: my friend like that. And then I bring the guitar
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: to him. I hand it right to him. He looks
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: up at the head of it and he says, he
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: looks at sees it's Martin.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: He goes looks up at me, and he says, I'm
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: gonna sign it anyway.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: And he signed BB King on my Martin guitar, and
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: they could be the only one signed by BB King,
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know. But and then so if the story
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: stops there, right, it's already big, it's already unbelievable. But
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: it doesn't stop there. I had that that album that
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I created and I handed I handed to him and
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: he looks at the album. He goes, well, well, well
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: I knew you. He said something like I knew you
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: as a musician. I can't remember his exact words, but
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: it was something like that. And then he looks, he
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: looks over at the person. He says, hand me that
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: sharpy back like that, and I thought, no, no, I
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: was saying, man, I was saying, no, no, I don't want,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: I don't want. I don't want you to sign this.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I'm giving this to you. He goes, I know who
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: it's for. Sharp gets the sharp he hands it to
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: me and says, I want you to sign this to
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: B B.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: King.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: And at this point, at this point, I'm almost in
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: tears right trying to be a man and not cry
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: right there in front of B. B.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: King. But my first album ever I signed a B. B.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: King And I like to think that he kept it
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: on his bus until the day he died.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, that's crazy.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: And then the chat, Jeff said like, that's awesome. Let's
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: see that guitar it uh. He he plays this guitar
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: on his albums and and a lot of stuff on
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the YouTube and different social medias you can actually see
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the guitar. And then in some of his videos too,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: you can actually see in the background you can see
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: a picture of bb that signed and everything. So I
• 19:13

• 19:24
  Speaker 1: see the guitar. Obviously you don't have it with you,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: but I said, in a couple of your videos, you
• 19:28

• 19:30
  Speaker 1: that that you have of them. We got, No, I
• 19:42

• 19:52
  Speaker 1: said when you said, like Nancy, what a story, just
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: absolutely unbelievable. I couldn't imagine. Like he kept saying how
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: he had cold chills. You just going there like I
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: had cold chills just listening to the story and it
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: didn't even happen to me. Like just an absolutely incredible story.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: And there we go back.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: We got Yeah, we're just saying, dance no, it's okay.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Danc just is admiring the story as well as us.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: We're oppress. I'm about sorry. How you know you were
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: saying you got goosebumps earlier just listening to your story
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and that the opportunity, like just just goosebumps with us.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: So I saw him on that hard to believe.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: That's so crazy. What'd you say?
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: I saw him on that tour I'm guessing the same
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: tour up in Autama.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And it was like I didn't, I was, I was, you.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: Know, I think second level, And.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: It was it was odd to because my parents introduced
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: me to Baby King, and I just I've always listened
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: to him and him and some others. It was odd
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: to see him in a wheelchair when he first got
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: rolled out there and the trumpets and the.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Band is playing.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: But as soon as he as soon as he started playing,
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: it was like, this guy, can't you know he's having
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: trouble walking ball, Holy crap, can he still play?
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: And he can? Man, he could.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Sing, you know, he couldn't play and sing at the
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: same time.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess I didn't know that for.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Sure he couldn't.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: But he never he never did play and sing at
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: the same time. He would play his lead parts and
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: then he would he would he would put his hand,
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: he would put his arm up on his.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Guitar and he would be like, how about you a
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: brand new car, said you wanted a Cadillac.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: You knowing he would, he would prop it up and
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: then when it was time for him to play, he
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: would get to get get to work. But he never
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: played and sang at the same time, which I found
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: so incredible.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Dan See in the Chance says he took a
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: history of rock and roll class at the University of
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Michigan and BB King was the absolute star of the history.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I don't doubt that. Man. I'm gonna tell you what.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: BB King still to this day his that whole story,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: that whole experience that I was able. I could be,
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but I can't imagine too many people
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: that having a story like that.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: With B. B. King, I don't. I don't know how.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: And it was like it was like a divine moment
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: that happened, and it still to this day drives me
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: and keeps me going. And I had, like I said,
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: I had no fans. I had not one fan then
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: not one. I had people like him, and him and
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Charlie Daniels and and uh Loretta Lynn and and those
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: people were divinely, without even knowing it, were shoving me
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: into uh creation. They were they were putting me out
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: there and making me continue doing what I was doing.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: What do you think it was during the concert that
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: drove him to notice you were you?
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: You must have been singing at the top of your lawns.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: No, I wasn't.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you. I'll tell you first. I should have
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: prefaced it with this when we walked in. You know
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: how a concert is all the house lights always super dark.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so not when when we walked in there, they
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: were super dark.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: And BB comes out and he says, he starts playing
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: a little bit, and he stops. He says, raise the
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: house lights up. I want to I want to see
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: my people. And uh so they raise them up a
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: little bit and it's not to his liking.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: He says, no, raise them.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Up a little bit more. They raised them up a
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: little bit more. He goes, now, just turn them all
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: the way on. So they He literally played the whole
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: show as bright as a living room. It wasn't like
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: a still everybody. He said, I want to see everybody,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: and so he was not like he was struggling to
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: see me. And it's not like I'm hard to notice.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: If I'm on the front row with the bald head
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: and a big beard, I think he just I think
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: what initially drew his attention was that there was a
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: man that looked like he was a hillbilly just feeling
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: his music better than anybody in there, right. I think
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: that's what the initial thing was that, and it never
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: left him. Then he started feeling something else.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: I think he started feeling a kindred spirit afterwards after.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: I think it was I think it was more than just, hey,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: there's a bald hitded white guy with a big beard
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: that looks like it came from the mountains that likes
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: my music.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I think it went deeper than that. But I do
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: believe that.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Because of this massive beard and and the balld head,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: I think that that was what drew his eyeballs. It
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: could have been the fact that I took my clothes
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: off and was dancing up in front of the stage too.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was that. I think it happened
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: just the hillbilly, the hill billy connection.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Kick your story the originally.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: So I saw, I saw a couple of throwback pictures
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: of you, like way way back in the day, pre beard,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: probably high school type era. You were an absolute monster.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I feel like you could probably bench an eighteen wheeler
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: if you really wanted to. Did you play any sports?
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Did you run security for school making sure kids weren't
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: smoking in the boys room.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: I I always uh that you picture you talking about
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: when I was in shape, when I when I look pretty.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, we all got we all got that dad
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: bod thing going on.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: Man like.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Him, not him, he just hit puberty years. He'll get it.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Old as the ship man, old shape. There's different chaps,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: that's true.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you. I'm I'm a double dad bod. So
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: I'm going for my third Oh all right, all right, yeah,
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I hope I don't reach it, but I'm going. I'm
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: trying my glass to not reach it, but it seems
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: like it's getting closer and closer all the You're probably
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: talking about a uh, You're probably talking about a picture
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: from uh after I had graduated.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: My whole high school career, I was a chunky boy.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: You know, I was sick.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: I wasn't fat, I wasn't as fat as I am now,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: but I was. I was chunky the whole time. But
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: then after I graduated, I moved back to Memphis. I
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: was born in Memphis, grew up in Arkansas, went back
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: to Memphis after I graduated and UH started. I was
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: didn't have any friends in Memphis, right, So what do
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: you do? You start looking for ways to occupy your mind.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: And I started studying fitness and UH working out.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: I started.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Literally all I did was work out and and UH studies.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: I just studied fitness. I said, you know what I
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: was thinking, I want to be a I want to
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: be a fitness trainer. Now this is this is fun.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: And I was religiously working out. It was five years
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: of my life. I was I was doing that. I
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: was in I was definitely I was in very very
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: good shape. I was able to without steroids.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: I could bench. I didn't bet.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know what my bench was max max wise
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: because I didn't do that. But I worked out with
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: you know, three hundred and ten pounds on the bench.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: That's what I worked out with. So I didn't. Uh,
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: but I don't know what my max was. I didn't
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: because I thought that was always an ego thing and
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to get involved with that.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: But I never never took steroids.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: And UH, when I got married and had my first child,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: I lost all the all the gumption and to go
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: after so hard as I was I started eating more. Yeah,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: and you've seen that, you so you've seen that a
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: chisel jaw.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I used to have, oh yeah, and no offense to
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: the chisel job. But I like to look as it
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: is right now with the jazz don't matter anymore. I
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: never want to see my chin again. So yeah, speaking
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: of no chins and beards and everything, like, you've done
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff for the bearded community. I mean,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: what do you think that is one of your biggest
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: contributions to the bearded community.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: People say that, but I didn't go about it like
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: I was growing a beard before it was.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: The popular thing to do.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: You know when in high school I grew a beard
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: and got and god, uh, you.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Know, persecuted for it.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Like the teachers would say you got to go home
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: and shave and things like that, because some of these
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: just gonna confuse new students because.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: They're gonna thank you the teacher or something.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: And I said, that's no reason for me to have
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: to shave and.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Good in our high school.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so they that is.

• 28:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know what I've done besides
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: just make people laugh. And that was always my goal. Yeah,
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: those parody videos that I did was just to make
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: people laugh and to see that, uh, to kind of
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: see that that even though I look mean, I'm not mean.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm I'm a gentle, funny guy. I like to
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: have fun and I think it goes for cause.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: I think, just like everybody, people get judged by their
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: cover a lot, no matter what they look like. And
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: that's the worst thing. I I have a quote that
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: I said years ago. I used to tell people. I said, Look,
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: don't judge me for my looks, judge me for my sounds.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Close your eyes, m and just listen to my Just
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: listen to me, and then judge me after that. But
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: don't look at me and judge me from the way
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: I look, because you might be wrong.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: You might be right, but you might be wrong. Yeah.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Absolutely cool. So, speaking of beards, what's one of your
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: go to beard products, any any certain ones you like?
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Do you use products like.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: I used to be sponsored by a beard company beard aalizer. Okay,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I'm not mad at them. They dropped me, but uh
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: fair loss.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Know it was I'd like to say it was amicable.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: It wasn't amicable, but I didn't know they were gonna
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: do that. But nonetheless we had some good years, made
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: some funny videos from it.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, you can't take that away.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: And but now I'm in the process of starting my
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: own beard product company. It's it's gonna be called Beards
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: of Outpha. It's gonna be like a beard fraternity that
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: is more than just a company. I want to do something.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: I don't want to just make beard ole in the kitchen.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: I want to I want to build a community of
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: people that have beards and then people that that don't.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: I'm not talking about people that have beards like mine,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: even it could be you could, because I'm I feel
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: even if the people are growing a beard and they
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: they can't grow a real nice beard, but they they're
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: they're still trying to rocket. They're friends of mine, man,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: which you know, I know, I got a son that
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: says all my friends are bearded, but that really ain't true.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: I got tons of friends today, so it doesn't even
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: the people that just just like beards, you know what
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: I mean that they like beards, but they maybe they
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: can't grow a massive beard, but they're.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: It takes thirty seven to hit puberty. It is what
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: it is.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. I thought it was the thirty seven.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: He's oh this guy grew a beard in high school. Yeah,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: it wasn't thirty nine.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: It was like so like I could grow one, except
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: I had like I had different patches in different places,
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: and up until probably like two or three years ago,
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden it started filling in, but I like,
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: I was shaving like religiously.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: Then all of a sudden, a couple of years ago,
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: I just got I got lazy.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: I had kids, and I was like, I'm just grow
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: my beard and I'll just trim it when it gets
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: and I was like, holy crap, and I don't have yeah.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: I don't have patches.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: And then all of a sudden McLear decides to shave
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: his beard two years ago and grow it back, and
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: I was like, I'll see what I can do.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: And so here I am.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Since labor day. This is impressive for someone that could
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: never grow a good beard.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, So, is there any way I can get a
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: closer look at that beard?
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Like, can you get right here, right down, here's a camera,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: get rid in there?
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: It's not bad like so I always had patches here
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: and here.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Man, you know what, You're encouraging a lot of people
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: right now, man, that have that problem.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: It takes time time. So so there was there and
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: then also right in here.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: But I used to when I was younger, rocking out
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: the sideburns, So I always I would have sideburns down
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: to here, which I at it was just gloriously beautiful.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: It wasn't. But I like the cidebird, I like the
• 32:07

  Speaker 2: There's a lot y'all gonna be able to do to help.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, I need everybody.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: It's not like, uh, I want everybody to be involved
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: in the fraternity and then I want to The thing
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: about me is I'm I want to build a place
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: like a website and a email list to where we
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: can communicate with each other without having to go through
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: algorithms and without having to use other people's platforms, that
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: we can actually communicate.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: And because because I've.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: That's the thing about me, I think that's why I
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: have such a loyal following, is uh, because I've always
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: commented back to everybody myself. I've always used to answer
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: every single comment, every one of them, I answered in
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: the old days, but now it's it's so hard to
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: do that because sometimes the video some of those videos
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: are are old and I don't even get notifications for it,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: so I would have to go and search every video
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: every day to find those. But I still try to
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: get every like on new videos I get.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: I get just about every one of them.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: And uh, even the messages, the comments and messages and emails,
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: I answer all those myself because I think that I
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: think that that that was the reason why I was
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: meant to be discouraged for a moment during the season.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: I was supposed to be discouraged about my singing and
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: my talent so that when I was able to achieve something,
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: I would always stay humble and and and I think
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: that I think that's a big factor in it that
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: kept me because I appreciate every single person.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: That that views my views my work, er, downloads my
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: albums or whatever they do.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Even if they say, man, you're fat, that you right, Yeah,
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, thank you so much.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Get a lot of things like like on you get
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of backhanded compliments on the YouTube, that's for sure.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's an interesting place. I just got a couple
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: more questions if you if you've got time, but if
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: you've got to run, definitely understand.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: No man, I'm just sitting at a gas station. Just
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: let me know.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just I don't interrupted y'all's show twice now with
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: phone calls.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I owe you more than whatever you need. I'm here.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: So what is one personally? What is like one like
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: kind of beard related joke that you get all the
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: time that kind of annoys you a little. I know
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: the one for me personally is you're one of those guys.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: No, yeah, no about that one. For me, mine's different
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: and it's so annoying. And I'll always make a point
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: to let the people know that it's it's uh overplayed
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: and annoying by saying when they say it, I always say, hey, man,
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: that was hilarious.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: When's the Netflix special? Pan face?
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Like just like oh what they say is they say, hey,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: It's not like it offends me. It's just they say
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: it so much. It's like, please think of something creative.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: I'm okay if you talk bad about me, it's funny.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna laugh with you. But they say the same
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: thing looks like his his hair left his head and
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: went on his face, and I'm like, that's the best
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: you can do. Many because I because I shaved my head,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: his head left, is his hair left his or his
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: heads upside down or something like that. You know, it's
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: always something. You know, it might have been funny the
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: first time me, but when they keep it, I don't know.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: But they don't know, you know, they don't know that
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: that that I've heard that a million times. I'm sure, yeah,
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: they couldn't. Here's the thing about YouTube is there is
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: there's a very few times when I'll get an actual
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: hate comment, which is a blessing. I don't want to
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: get a lot of hate on YouTube at all, or
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: any even on Facebook.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: So I've been blessed in that I haven't. I haven't.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Most of the comments are lovely, even even the ones
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: that are, like I said, backhanded, where they say, you know,
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: how did no haggard kids sing? You know, things like that,
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: and you go, hey, they like to singing though, that's
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: all I care about.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: And but even those are they're lovely to me.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: I don't care if they don't like the way I
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: look or not, as long as they vibe to what
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: I'm saying that's all it matters.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: May I ain't no pretty boy, ain't trying to.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Be so yeah, gave up on that a long time ago.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: So we do a segment on the show that's called
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: What's in My Beard. It's a segment that's a food
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: review segment. So what we do is we go to
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: different places, we try the food, you know, because as
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: you know, stuff gets in the beard. So we do
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: just an honest review of the restaurant, and once in
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: a while we try to bring the people that cook
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: the food. Because their customer service, they have to be nice,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: but this is kind of their opportunity to kind of
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: complain about some customers. So question to you is what
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: is one of the foods that you absolutely love which
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: you're really struggle to eat as of the beard man?
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: That would be like us, spaghetti, like pasta, you know
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: what I mean, it's I love pasta and it's so
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: hard to hard to eat because you gotta you gotta almost.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Gotta chop it up and then eat it in like
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: like a spoon or something, almost like your kids.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, like you cutting up my food this
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: one as well.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: As I was stealing up with sauce all over my
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: beard somehow always happens.
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: So what's what's your favorite favorite place anywhere you've been
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: to eat your most face. It can be hometown. It
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: can be a dive, bar, can be a deli, it
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: can be a best restaurant. What's your favorite place eat?
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Favorite place to eat? Man?
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: You talking to a fat boy, So there's many of those.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: You gotta you gotta narrow that down.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Brother. What kind of foot you're talking here?
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Anything like what I if you go?
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: If you go, let's go with if you go home
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: and you are relaxing and you just need a good
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: burger or some good pasta.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: What if I'm at home?
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: If I'm at home and I I want a good burger,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: To be honest with you.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: If it's if it's like a home, I'm at home
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: and I'm I'm gonna stop and pick something up and
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: go home with it. It's gonna be just like some
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: fast food or something. But or I'm gonna make it
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: myself at home. Okay, But if I'm going out to
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: a restaurant, it would I tell you a place. There's
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: a place here called Jumbo Delicious in Hendersonville, and uh,
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: It is probably one of the best burgers I've eaten.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: There's also a place that it's a franchise I think
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: called Jonathan's Grill. I don't know if it's a franchise,
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: but I think it is. They have amazing food, amazing burgers.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: But uh, you know, people, people kind of they hate
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: to get franchises any love. But there's a reason why
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: they're franchises. They got good food, please.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: And they battled through the tough times, the Starred Eye
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: off with the small shops. They've earned their way up.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't I don't knock them because just because
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: they may have made have made a big time thing
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: out of a small town thing.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's how that's how winning is done.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Like Rocky would say, right exactly.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: So when we come down to visit you so we
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: can hype you up everywhere you go, we'll make sure
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: to check out those two places, because and burgers are
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: really tough to eat. With the big beer, they're everywhere.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: I'm a guy that you know you can whatever you
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: can put on a burger, give me, give me the veggies,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: give me everything. And it's just everywhere. But it's a
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: little snack for later.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Where are you at?
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: We are in New York right on the Canadian border,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: so people are like a New York I mean, I
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: don't know, like when you think New York are like
• 40:41

• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Are all been eating? No, no, no way north. We are
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: actually forty five minutes from Ottawa. That's how north we
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: are almost. Yeah, yes, we're.
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: Literally seven miles probably ten eight nine, ten miles from
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: the Canadian yep, just.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: To get for the International Bridge.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: I love Canada for sure. I was.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: I was in Canada last year and I went and
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: got my first Canadian poutine.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: And it was It's a life changer, isn't it.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been craving it ever since. So I'm thinking
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: about moving.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Hey, if you want to move, why don't you come
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: come with us? Will put you up in the studio
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: or whatever. For now you can teach us a couple
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: of things. But one thing too that you haven't maybe tried.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: In Canada, they have things called beaver tails, and it's
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: almost like a fragged bread dough with cinnamon and powder
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: and all this contraption. Beaver tails are pretty amazing as well.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Is it like a sweet Yeah, yeah, like a funnel cake.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Kind of like a funnel cake, but like Canadian style.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: So maple syrup I think they probably put on it
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: was is there? There might be I can't remember, but
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I think they do something with some maple.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Look are y'all? Are y'all sweet or savory? Man?
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: I'm a sweet guy. I'm not.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Much savory.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: But if you gave me a choice between sweets or
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: or savory, I would go savory every time sweets are.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: I do like them. They're they're great, but I could
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: do without it. If they didn't exist, it wouldn't hurt
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: my feelings, you know.
