- 0:47It is so good to see you tonight.
- 0:50Where the hell are you coming from this time?
- 0:52No, I'm back to the hotel. You know, back to the hotel.
- 0:54Oh yeah, I'm back. Like in too deep.
- 0:57Aren't you? That's right.
- 0:58That's right. Wasn't that the name of that
- 1:00band? Yes, I'm back.
- 1:10I'm back in Opelika, AL here. OK.
- 1:14Out here at the lovely Robert Trent Jones Golf Course staying
- 1:16at the Auburn Marriott and Resort.
- 1:19Yeah, it was a nice day today. Got in this afternoon, rested
- 1:23up, got a nap a little bit and then, you know, got a little
- 1:27food in. Now here we are now talking.
- 1:29So good to see you, brother. So nice.
- 1:31It was a nice, pleasant afternoon to ease into a work
- 1:34week starting tomorrow. You know, let's just jump right
- 1:36into this. It's football season.
- 1:38I've got a lot on my mind, you know, we try to.
- 1:41Frustrated, aren't you? Yeah, I'm not happy.
- 1:44I'm not happy at all, you know. So this is going to be a little
- 1:48bit of a therapy session for me too.
- 1:50I've kind of held it in 24 hour rule.
- 1:53We're damn near on 24 hours and I ain't over it.
- 1:57OK, so those are y'all. Listen out there.
- 1:59We talk a lot about food, music, culture, UFO's, crazy stuff,
- 2:05have a lot of guests and stuff like that on we've had Troy.
- 2:09We've talked about Troy extensively.
- 2:11This is not a Troy show. This is not an LSU show.
- 2:14This is not an Alabama show. This is none of those.
- 2:17But it's Tigs bits and kind of the moniker started with the
- 2:22whole LSU thing. And I and I look, I'm not
- 2:25embarrassed to be an LSU fan, but I am absolutely embarrassed
- 2:31at the performance that that defense put out against Ole Miss
- 2:35yesterday. Hats off the Ole Miss, you know,
- 2:38nobody could stop anybody in that game.
- 2:42It's getting a little frustrating.
- 2:44It just seems to kind of be that's where we're at.
- 2:46For entertainment value though, it's pretty, it's pretty strong,
- 2:49right? You know, it's going 100 points
- 2:50or whatever, you know. So yeah, I mean, if you.
- 2:54Yeah, absolutely. If you're not, if you weren't an
- 2:57LSU fan or an Ole Miss fan, you're just watching outside of
- 3:01outside of the world. That's it.
- 3:02That was a hell of an entertaining game.
- 3:04It was like whoever has the ball last is possibly going to win,
- 3:08which it was the case LS you had the ball, had a shot to win it,
- 3:12but dude, you you you, you score 49 points on the road, you have
- 3:16over 600 yards of offense. You're going to win that game 9
- 3:20out of 10 times. Not yesterday though, not
- 3:23yesterday, man. So I I don't know what's going
- 3:27to happen. They and they're kind of stuck
- 3:29with with the players that they've got right now.
- 3:31You just got to hope that they can develop.
- 3:33If you're an LSU van and can somehow make a run, they're not
- 3:37out of it. They still control their own
- 3:38destiny, but they get to go against the best wide receiver
- 3:44this coming weekend in Missouri. He leads the nation in receiving
- 3:48yards, so you know, he's just absolutely licking his chops.
- 3:52Oh yeah, Well, you know, the thing about it though, dude, I
- 3:54mean, it's man, football season. Such a crazy cycle, you know,
- 3:58and not like diving off in Detroit.
- 4:00It's like, but I watched us at the first of the year go up
- 4:02against Kansas State and I just really thought we were going to
- 4:06go into that game and play really well and.
- 4:09We really, really hurt ourselves.
- 4:11I mean, there were some things we did that were good in that
- 4:13game, but we hurt ourselves so much.
- 4:14And I begin to wonder, OK, I don't think we had the defense
- 4:17we had last year. And then we, you know, we win
- 4:20one, then we lose a real close one that we were winning those
- 4:23close ones last year. And I was like, oh, man, you
- 4:25know, we, we don't look bad. But man, And then this week,
- 4:28suddenly our defense played, lights out, offense got things
- 4:31going. And then suddenly you're like.
- 4:33Now I'm feeling like, OK, this is just, this is the team I
- 4:35thought that they were going to be, but dude, you never know.
- 4:37Still, like, you know, in two more weeks, it could change back
- 4:40and then you go, oh, never mind that.
- 4:41So they were. Or either they just continue to
- 4:43roll or what they are now doesn't necessarily mean what
- 4:46they're going to be at the end of the year.
- 4:47I guess that's that's right, because you just don't know.
- 4:49And it's this one. No, this is the wildest season
- 4:53of college football that I've ever seen it at all levels.
- 4:56They're they're number one. There is no defense in college
- 5:00football anymore. It's not just that was there's
- 5:02not a odd one off of LSU and and Ole mess there.
- 5:07There is 00 defense. Yeah college football right now.
- 5:13I mean look at USC look at Oklahoma.
- 5:15Look at all the look at all of these teams.
- 5:17Alabama gives up points. You know Mississippi State's
- 5:20terrible and they they they were in the game.
- 5:24As much as Mississippi State can be.
- 5:27You know, it'll it's just something, I don't know what it
- 5:30is. I don't know if it's the
- 5:31transfer portal. There's no continuity with teams
- 5:35that they've been together. They're veterans, they've been
- 5:37juniors. You know they're they're they've
- 5:39grown up together and they just keep getting better.
- 5:42Whoever has that, that is the teams that you're going to see
- 5:46at the end of this season. It ain't going to be LSUI can
- 5:50tell you that. They're not.
- 5:52They're they're not. They're not fixable.
- 5:55Then I hope that they can get better because their offense is
- 5:58as good as any in the country. Then I think the number two
- 6:01offense, statistically, their defense is number 117.
- 6:07That ain't gonna cut it. So they're gonna be in any ball
- 6:09game because they can score. But how to get can you win the
- 6:12track How to get Yeah no you do. You do especially in SEC.
- 6:15And you know it's you. You got to have defense And I'm
- 6:19not gonna keep to pound the Troy drum.
- 6:21But that's the one thing right now we have a phenomenal
- 6:24defense. Phenomenal just like we did.
- 6:25Like that's good and it will not gonna get you somewhere and it
- 6:28is and it keeps us in every game.
- 6:30And if our offense can just find some sparks, you know what I
- 6:33mean? Like, we have a chance, but we
- 6:35just, you know, Georgia State, dude, they were undefeated
- 6:37coming in there and I was really worried about that game.
- 6:40I've watched them play. I was like, that is a really
- 6:41good football team. I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm really
- 6:44scared of this one. And dude, we they've been
- 6:46averaging 37 points a game and they scored one touchdown.
- 6:50So, you know, but yeah. I feel the opposite right now.
- 6:54But when you when you get there and I've seen it's it's
- 6:56especially in SEC, man that's that's that's a place you get so
- 6:59exposed. You know you get I mean we were
- 7:04exposed yesterday against Ole Miss.
- 7:06I I know what's coming. If they can't write this ship
- 7:09quick this is going this is going to get ugly.
- 7:11It's going to get ugly, ugly quick.
- 7:14I hope that they will make some changes.
- 7:16You know internally I need to get rid of Madhouse.
- 7:19That's the defensive coordinator and I've got a feeling he will
- 7:23be on his way out. They had they over achieved last
- 7:26year. But if you look back and you see
- 7:28the amount of points that they gave up in every single contest,
- 7:32this has been a problem. This has been a problem, not
- 7:35we're used to having really good defenses at LSU.
- 7:39That's the bread and butter. It's DBU and all that.
- 7:42Man, they look slow. They played 10 yards off the
- 7:45ball all game. They just played a lot of zone.
- 7:49They never made any adjustments. It was just it's frustrating to
- 7:53watch, but I can harp on that all day long and that is not
- 7:58what this show is going to be about today at all.
- 8:01I don't want to get, I don't want to lose everybody, just
- 8:03talking about LSU and Troy and all that.
- 8:05Brantley's a little frustrated if y'all don't realize.
- 8:07I don't know if you'll realize I am not happy about this.
- 8:11Yeah, pissed off dude. Pissed off.
- 8:13I don't like it. And I've been and I had to had
- 8:17to arrest it. I didn't even know what to say.
- 8:19It's just. I can't.
- 8:20Yeah, that's a tough one. I didn't send you anything.
- 8:22I didn't say no. Great guy you did.
- 8:24It's OK, man. I just moved on, all right?
- 8:26Like, that's what you got to do. Yeah, I flushed it pretty much
- 8:28as soon as it was over. I went to bed is what I did is
- 8:31like, you know, not much longer after that.
- 8:34I finished that Notre Dame and Duke game and then I was like,
- 8:36yeah, I'm done with football. And then today, get to start off
- 8:40and you know the Saints, Here we go, Saints in Tampa Bay to
- 8:43control the NFC South and bring some.
- 8:47Balance back to you. Watch the same.
- 8:49Well, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 8:52No, that didn't happen either. You know what I mean?
- 8:55The hell with football. Tigs is done with football.
- 8:58Where are Here we are. October the 1st is when we're
- 9:01recording this. Tigs is done with football.
- 9:03At least we have playoff baseball coming up.
- 9:06I'm looking forward to that. Congrats to the Houston Astros
- 9:09for winning the West, the AL. So you know, I'm, I'm focused on
- 9:16other things at this point. The Saints.
- 9:18Until next weekend, Brantley, come on.
- 9:20Oh yeah. Yeah.
- 9:21Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean just on anything.
- 9:24But football don't lie. It's true.
- 9:27I'm not. It's just what I tell myself we
- 9:29talk about. The first of the season, enjoy
- 9:31it, enjoy each week and there's gonna be ebbs and there's gonna
- 9:34be flows and man, hey. Suddenly you could be looking
- 9:38down the road in three or four weeks and you know, and then you
- 9:41win this unbelievable football game and then you go, you know,
- 9:46like you never know, man, you never we're back then.
- 9:49Well, the ebbs and flows are flowing the wrong way at the
- 9:52moment. But you know, hopefully,
- 9:54hopefully things can turn around for my Tigers when they play the
- 9:58Missouri Tigers in Columbia. So not an easy task.
- 10:02I don't know some reason LSU comes out as a 7 point favorite.
- 10:05By the time y'all are listening to this, it that's probably
- 10:07going to change. But I don't know.
- 10:10I don't know what the hell they're seeing that that that
- 10:13we're not. But anyhow, man, anyhow, not a
- 10:17fun, not a fun weekend for football in the state of
- 10:21Louisiana. But you know, we never lost a
- 10:24party. That's true.
- 10:25Never. Never ever.
- 10:27So yeah, it but yeah, it's crazy, man.
- 10:30There's. Wrapping that up, there's a lot
- 10:32of good football teams. There's a lot of good teams with
- 10:35some really unbelievable offenses that can do crazy stuff
- 10:38in any given week. I mean, look at Colorado.
- 10:40They're like Helter Skelter, you know what I mean?
- 10:42They get blown out by Oregon and then they come in this week
- 10:45against USC and dude. You know, almost Pull that off.
- 10:49You know, so they did. They were getting smoked and
- 10:51they hung in there and then just started coming back.
- 10:53I mean, he's doing the defense. It wasn't like he got exposed.
- 10:57Yeah. No, no.
- 10:58It's just, it's crazy. It is.
- 11:01It's the most wide open I've ever seen college football.
- 11:05Who? Anybody who's ranked in the top
- 11:0710 or 12, if you have one loss or less, I mean, you're you're
- 11:12in this. Even A2 lost LSU, Even A2 lost
- 11:16LSU. Say they were to run the table.
- 11:18They're not. But let's say that they were.
- 11:22They could get back in. That could get interesting, you
- 11:25know. But Speaking of where I'm
- 11:27sitting right now, how about Auburn almost beating Georgia?
- 11:30I'm over played until the end of the game when I don't have no
- 11:34idea why they didn't have him double teamed or at least man
- 11:37manned up with somebody. Drop it in, you know drop it
- 11:39into some zone help but. Yeah, other than that, dude,
- 11:43Auburn played. Unbelievable.
- 11:44Took it the end. Of the game they did, they
- 11:47played fantastic. They have nothing to hang their
- 11:49heads about. That's a pro goal to watch.
- 11:51They may be getting Oh yeah, each.
- 11:53Week, you know that may be they are getting better each week and
- 11:56they can run the football, man, they can run it and that's we
- 12:01get to play them too. They're coming up.
- 12:04You know, it's like all of these games that look so good on paper
- 12:08a couple weeks ago or just starting to go, oh Lord, we
- 12:12can't stop anybody. They're just going to run it
- 12:14down our damn throat, so. I mean, I'm not laughing.
- 12:17I just get it. Like, what do you?
- 12:19Yeah, it's like, what are we going to do?
- 12:21Like Mike Tyson coming at you? Like, I'm about to hit you with
- 12:23this, right? Yeah, there's not much I can do
- 12:25about it. Just a little off balance.
- 12:27You can get it right this weekend, LSU, get it right in
- 12:30Columbia, MO. And let's let's see what can
- 12:33happen. You know but man it's a it's
- 12:37it's wide open. I don't see any one team in
- 12:40college football at this point. I mean we're quarter way through
- 12:43the season basically we're we're we're we're 1/3 of the way
- 12:46through and I don't see one team that I'm just going Oh yeah that
- 12:51that's the best team in the country including Georgia.
- 12:54I don't think they are one of those teams in the country but
- 12:58they're not They just show not as dumb.
- 13:00They don't look as done that they're going to get beat.
- 13:03Somebody is going to beat them. Yes.
- 13:05You know and and then you can go to Florida State.
- 13:07They they almost lost to Boston College.
- 13:10But they they look good. They look they look like they're
- 13:14they're legit Michigan. If they can keep handling
- 13:17business, Ohio State the usual suspects but.
- 13:21Imagine if this year was the year of the 12 team playoff.
- 13:25Imagine like the chaos in that playoff would be wild because
- 13:28any team could probably win, you know, yes, there's where a 12
- 13:32team playoff is going to be magnificent of a tournament.
- 13:36It's not going to be like you're just got one and two sitting
- 13:38there when a year like this. Dude, who who knows it every
- 13:41games going right? I can't wait for it.
- 13:44I think it's great man. I think it's yeah awesome.
- 13:46I think it's cool. I think it is.
- 13:48To sport through the roof, like coach, like coach Summer all
- 13:51said it's going to be like March Madness, but with football.
- 13:55Oh my God, yeah, that's. I can't wait.
- 13:59Like here we go on a Saturday in December.
- 14:02There are 8 ball games, eight playoff games when and move on,
- 14:06lose and go home. Like yeah there won't be 8 but
- 14:10whatever 6. No, dude.
- 14:12It's like, it's going to be that cool.
- 14:14It's like, I like basketball. OK, right.
- 14:17Let me just be real. Like I watch a basket and go
- 14:19into a basketball game. It's phenomenal.
- 14:20Like, it is like, it's cool. Yeah.
- 14:22And when the tournament comes around, I get engaged.
- 14:24And that tournament is so cool. It's so awesome.
- 14:27Like the energy from it, those different rounds.
- 14:29And you get the Cinderella teams rolling and all all the drama
- 14:32that plays out. Now you combine a sport.
- 14:35Like football, which I'm highly passionate about.
- 14:38Then you throw in that with it. I mean, we may explode.
- 14:42I mean, it's gonna be like too much to handle.
- 14:45It's gonna be nuts. And I don't think that the
- 14:48defenses in college football this year in 2023 are gonna get
- 14:53that much better in 2024. So I think that it's just, it's
- 14:58the transfer portal, it's the nil, it's the let me get the
- 15:02best player that there is that you think is going to work for
- 15:05your program kind of deal. And then you're seeing that
- 15:09doesn't workout every time and it's not working out with some
- 15:13places. It is working out with some, you
- 15:15know, but it's the moving parts all around football.
- 15:19There's no continuity. That is what's it's watering the
- 15:23game down some, in my opinion, yeah, but I think it will fix
- 15:28itself at some point. I haven't mentioned this to you.
- 15:33I just thought about it. I have a good buddy of mine that
- 15:35I went to high school with. His name's Alan Jordan, and we
- 15:39played baseball together and he was a he was a pitcher.
- 15:43He's a great pitcher. And his son just signed, just
- 15:47committed to, to the Texas Longhorns.
- 15:50I bring this up. He's going to come on our show
- 15:54in the spring whenever we kind of start to talk a little bit
- 15:56about the national championship, LSU Tiger baseball team and
- 16:02other things, but just wanted to plug that.
- 16:06But he he's he's going to be coming on and he has some very
- 16:09interesting takes on NIL and how it's working in college baseball
- 16:14and the the portal and just all of this wild stuff that he has
- 16:20been telling me about that I can't wait to to visit with him.
- 16:24It's going to blow your mind. It's just it's crazy what the
- 16:30it's the wild, Wild West in sports right now.
- 16:34Just the the whole deal and some of these kids are getting COVID
- 16:38years and stuff like that. We've got 7 seven-year players
- 16:41out there. There's some, it's like so
- 16:44saturated with athletes right now.
- 16:46Yeah, it's nuts. You've got some a 27 year old
- 16:50pitcher going against an 18 year old kid who just graduated high
- 16:54school. What the hell do you think is
- 16:55going to happen? It's just some of that now.
- 16:57I think overtime that's going to work it that will work itself
- 17:01out because of the COVID stuff but but anyhow yeah I look
- 17:05forward to to having Allen on to to talk about some of this and
- 17:10and really kind of get a get an inside scoop.
- 17:13Of love. Love how that conversation.
- 17:15Yeah, yeah, I have my ideas and all that.
- 17:17But I'm still like, honestly, just such a neophyte when it
- 17:22comes to fully understanding all these, you know?
- 17:26You know where you've got these collectives and then where they
- 17:29have individual agreements. And you know what I mean?
- 17:31It's like it is a complicated thing, man.
- 17:33So yeah, that's gonna be cool, man.
- 17:35Yeah, because I'm very intrigued cuz I try to keep my ear to the
- 17:39ground. I'm listening, but it's still so
- 17:43confusing. Yeah, it is, man.
- 17:46Well, it's going 1,000,000 miles an hour too.
- 17:49I think that's part of the confusion.
- 17:52And you know, you've got to be in that deal to understand it.
- 17:56I think, you know if you have a son that our daughter that's
- 18:00that's being courted by some, by some collegiate team to play
- 18:04athletics for them, it's just a whole different deal.
- 18:07It's not anything I understand. I've never been a never been a
- 18:10part of that. So I I look forward to just kind
- 18:13of getting that perspective. That's gonna be cool.
- 18:16I'm from him. Yeah.
- 18:17It's gonna be good. It that's gonna be.
- 18:19It is, man. It is.
- 18:21Hey look, we I know that we've we're we're going to talk and
- 18:25touch on several things. This is just a basically a
- 18:28current event show we decided to do today.
- 18:31It's, you know, not an emergency pod necessarily at.
- 18:34All but if almost, it almost became an emergency pod.
- 18:38So yesterday I get a phone call out of nowhere.
- 18:41This is like literally. Get my times right.
- 18:45It was. I think it was 10.
- 18:49It was 250. Yeah.
- 18:50And I know why it was 250 because I'll tell you in a
- 18:52minute. So it's 250.
- 18:54I get a phone call from a good friend of mine Doolittle and and
- 18:58he said hey man, I've got this trip that we go on every once in
- 19:02a while. This you know company's taking
- 19:04us out there and I had they gave me like 3 spots and somebody
- 19:06dropped out and we're going down to the Chandelier Islands off of
- 19:11the coast of. Louisiana with this is kind of
- 19:15those once in a lifetime type trips.
- 19:16I mean I hear stories where you so you get this boat, it's
- 19:19called due South. I mean this boat is phenomenal.
- 19:21We get on the boat, we're supposed to be on the boat today
- 19:24about 5:30. They take off at 10.
- 19:26You drive all night, you get out there, you get in flats boats
- 19:30and you go out there and you just destroy speckled trout and
- 19:33redfish, you know, and it's just supposed.
- 19:35I've seen the pictures I was talking to a buddy of mine has
- 19:37been four times. He said.
- 19:38Dude, we'll kitchens like 60th session.
- 19:40You know, redfish, you know, I've never had, I've never had
- 19:44that opportunity to go to those islands.
- 19:46But I know, of course I know several people that have and and
- 19:50and I love to fish as you know. But dude, yeah, that is a once
- 19:54in a lifetime trip to get to go there and you can absolutely
- 19:58just hammer them and hammer. Them God, man.
- 20:02And so, dude, you know, I told him, give me 30 minutes.
- 20:06So I knew I needed to call him back, you know, by 3:20.
- 20:09And I sit there first. I'm like, no, there's no way I
- 20:12can do this. I can't do this.
- 20:14This is impossible. I went in and was talking to
- 20:15Amanda, and I'm telling her I was like, this is God, this is
- 20:17like a once in a lifetime deal. Like he's asked me like 3 years
- 20:20ago and he hadn't asked me since.
- 20:22And here he's asking me again. I've already said no once, but I
- 20:25can't go. I can't, can.
- 20:27I can't, can I? Can I go?
- 20:29And you know, it's it's transformed into.
- 20:31You know what? Sometimes you just got to say
- 20:34the heck with it, man. Let's just make it work.
- 20:35I mean, I'm just, I'm you know what with?
- 20:38So within about 15 minutes I'm going.
- 20:41It's amazing. What?
- 20:42It's amazing what guided fishing trips will do and and how much
- 20:45you can move. God knows that I have been
- 20:49guilty of making some things happen that should not have
- 20:52happened. Oh, wait, you can go.
- 20:55Hey, we're going to hack. We're going out of Hackberry
- 20:57tomorrow morning, man. We are smoking the redfish.
- 21:00You think you can show up? Good Lord.
- 21:02I mean, there's no way in the hell that I can do this.
- 21:06Let me give me give me 15 minutes, see if I can work this
- 21:09out. And then you know, very rarely
- 21:12do I ever say no, I can't do it. It's a figure out a way, find a
- 21:17way. It's amazing what you can frame
- 21:20up in your mind to make perfect sense.
- 21:21You know what I mean? Like this.
- 21:22This makes perfect sense. Of course it does.
- 21:26I'm only gonna miss, like a meeting I had scheduled from
- 21:29last week. I'm only gonna miss my son's
- 21:31baseball game. You know what these games come
- 21:34around. These fishing vents, they do
- 21:36not. Yeah.
- 21:38Now it would say exactly. That was the toughest part.
- 21:40Honestly, it was a baseball game, cuz I like to be every.
- 21:42That's been a tough part. Yeah.
- 21:43But it's fall ball and this is nice what I structured it.
- 21:46This is fall ball. This is just developmental ball.
- 21:48They don't really take it. I mean, we get out there and we
- 21:49work. It's more like a big practice
- 21:51with scrimmage games. That's the way I view it.
- 21:53So I'm just missing a scrimmage game, right.
- 21:55So I'm just not spring ball or it all matters.
- 21:59You can justify it that way. I understand.
- 22:02I'll wrap this up. So, so, so excited, man.
- 22:04I'm going and I'm, you know, I can't sleep.
- 22:06It's like a kid, you know, waking up for Christmas Eve, on
- 22:10Christmas Eve, on Christmas Day. And dude, I get up and dude, I
- 22:14take off. I go down to Bay Bates.
- 22:16I'm, they open at 6:00. I'm there at like 620, you know,
- 22:19walking in. I'm getting some stuff.
- 22:21I'm talking to them. Did I get me another rod?
- 22:24I did not plan to buy another rod, like, but I was like, I'm
- 22:27going down there. I'm just going to show up.
- 22:29And so I spend more money on live than I should have.
- 22:33And I get them to line it and I get every, I mean, you know, I'm
- 22:35getting all my stuff. I'm ready to go and get back to
- 22:39the house and I'm sitting around there and I'm still also trying
- 22:42to take care of the house, you know, hey, let me do this, let
- 22:45me grab this, let me grab, you know, I'm trying to do all I can
- 22:48around there, but also packing at the same time and thinking of
- 22:51things I need. I go get a shower and I'm going
- 22:53to come out of the shower. I'm going to go pick us up some
- 22:56lunch, going to come back. We're going to eat lunch and I'm
- 22:58hitting the road and I'm heading West and I'm going to be gone
- 23:01for, you know, Monday night, Tuesday night.
- 23:04And we don't get back till 10:00 PM on Tuesday night.
- 23:08I mean, I'm sorry, Sunday night and Monday night.
- 23:10I don't get back until 10 on Tuesday.
- 23:12So I'm like, and they like, you can sleep on the boat.
- 23:14I'm like, I'm probably going to do that.
- 23:16I've been sleep fishing all morning, fishing all afternoon.
- 23:18I'm probably just going to crash there and get up and drive back
- 23:20Wednesday morning. So anyway, I get out of the
- 23:24shower. I'm all ready, dude.
- 23:26I'm feeling so excited, but I'm trying to act like I'm not too
- 23:29excited, but but she knows I'm excited.
- 23:31She's cool about it. But I wasn't like moonwalking
- 23:33around the place, But I kind of was.
- 23:34You got those butterflies in your stomach, those pure ex.
- 23:38I mean, I love it. Everything I need and I'm re
- 23:41going to my list and I'm like, I've got one more stop at Bass
- 23:44Pro over there near Spanish Fort just to really tighten this
- 23:47thing together and get all the things exactly I need from some
- 23:50of the guys that's been like four times that told me, hey,
- 23:52these four, you take these four things with you, I promise you
- 23:56it covers everything and you're going to kill them.
- 23:59And I was like, I'm going to get these.
- 24:01And dude I checked my phone and I get a text and the captain had
- 24:06called him and said because of the weather specifically the
- 24:09wind was too high he is canceling the trip or got to
- 24:12reschedule. Oh man.
- 24:14Don't. Don't.
- 24:16Yeah. So I was planning on coming.
- 24:18I was gonna get there in time and get on the boat because
- 24:20there's Wi-Fi, I'd found out. We got Wi-Fi access, dude.
- 24:23I was gonna. Do our show from the boat and in
- 24:26there talk about, oh, that would have been so much fun, but we
- 24:30can still do that whenever this trip.
- 24:32Yes, we can reconvenes I mean but that is a that's yeah that
- 24:35was long story long but anyway that's the.
- 24:38No, but look, I mean, that opens up a whole can of worms.
- 24:42There's just nothing better than than the preparation for a
- 24:45fishing trip and getting, getting in there, the excitement
- 24:49of it especially, especially when for me it's saltwater
- 24:53fishing like like you were going to go do.
- 24:55I grew up Toledo, being bass fishing, doing all of that.
- 24:58I love doing that second nature. Yeah.
- 25:01And I get and I get fired up for bass fishing, of course, but not
- 25:06as fired up as I get whenever I get to go catch some Reds, catch
- 25:10some specs, catch some flounder and and I've gone out called
- 25:14mangrove, snapper and all that stuff too, you know, I mean,
- 25:18it's just there's just something a little bit different.
- 25:20You don't 0 if you go out in the Gulf of Mexico or you fish in
- 25:24the March. Like you, you could 0 bass
- 25:27fishing. You can have a day where you
- 25:28don't catch a damn thing. Nothing you know except for a
- 25:32sunburn. And that's all you get.
- 25:34If you don't catch it, you're gonna catch a hard hag, a hard
- 25:37head catfish at worst. Yeah.
- 25:39And you know, when you get back home and you're probably gonna
- 25:41rule up a shark. I mean, how cool.
- 25:43Yeah. You know, I mean, yeah.
- 25:46I mean, who cares if you're eating it or not?
- 25:47It's all about the fight and the fun of it.
- 25:50Dude, I I have not. I have not fished as much in
- 25:532023. As I like to do.
- 25:56In fact, I've hardly fished any. It's been I fished more than I
- 26:00fished in 20 years in 2023. Well, that's awesome.
- 26:03Yeah, really. I mean, you know what?
- 26:0520 is probably probably 30 years.
- 26:07Like really? I've wow.
- 26:08I've got into that surf fishing and that's what I've been doing
- 26:11a lot of. I did in the spring and then now
- 26:14I'm firing it back up in the fall.
- 26:15And dude, it's so fun to go. I just realized, I don't know
- 26:18why this didn't just didn't resonate with me earlier.
- 26:20It's like, dude, you get to go down there, you get to hang out
- 26:23on the beach, which I've always been like okay with.
- 26:25But now I'm fishing and it's like, okay, I'm fishing and
- 26:28everybody's happy. We're chilling on the beach.
- 26:30We can play some bocce ball. You set you pole in, you just
- 26:33wait. You just wait.
- 26:35And then hey, next thing you know who comes up giant Pompano,
- 26:38boom. You know, like, and then you go
- 26:41back to hanging out and chilling and then you're catching fish.
- 26:43It's like the greatest comedy. And then you get to go out there
- 26:45and get some sand fleets with your bucket.
- 26:47It's like a whole involved process, you know what I mean?
- 26:49So I never understood to do that.
- 26:51Yeah, I don't know why. Whenever I lived there, we
- 26:54didn't do that more often. And especially me.
- 26:57I loved fishing. I didn't have the equipment for
- 26:59it, you know, either, and I. Started asking freshwater gear.
- 27:02You didn't need much, you know what I mean?
- 27:04It's like you don't need a whole lot.
- 27:06I was like, okay, I was thinking I'd see these buggies.
- 27:07I thought. Oh my.
- 27:08God, that's. I'm probably, yeah, you all have
- 27:10to have all of that. No, you don't.
- 27:12I walk out there with everything I need, and I I could still hold
- 27:15my beard in my hand. You know what I mean?
- 27:17Like I'm good. Like, you know, so I've.
- 27:19Got those buggies are convenient looking with those big old, but
- 27:23they're convenient to you. It's like lunar Landers on my
- 27:26landing tires. My old neighbors he he got one
- 27:29and he's a everything he does, he likes to have the best of
- 27:33right so he gets one. It's a fine one but he doesn't
- 27:36like it cuz it only has a single axle.
- 27:37So he orders his own axle, drills the holes, and installs a
- 27:42dual axle. System that tandem.
- 27:44Yes he did. And it is carrying weight with
- 27:47that deal. Now until the problem with S
- 27:50Walton, think about every beach access, almost every one of
- 27:54them. You gotta go down those stairs.
- 27:55That's true. Yeah, go down the stairs too.
- 27:59Well, that is really didn't go up them very well.
- 28:02And I realized I was going to get one too, until I saw that
- 28:05and I was like. Yeah, I think I had to do this
- 28:07with backpack coolers and with, you know, things.
- 28:09I and put it together and I use a simple chair that I strap over
- 28:13a tiny one small dude. I got my pole.
- 28:16I mean, I got it like I can walk to the beach and have everything
- 28:19I need and I can have three poles.
- 28:20I can have two poles out there and have one for just casting.
- 28:23It's like some fish come by, so, right, right, Yeah.
- 28:26Anyway. Yeah, dude, I was at.
- 28:29I like to whenever I'm near the beach, I like to take that
- 28:32morning walk and watch, watch the sunrise.
- 28:35And just, you know, when I was in Pensacola a few weeks ago, I
- 28:41did that and man, I saw so many fish.
- 28:44There was #1 on the beach, no one fishing in there.
- 28:46I didn't have a. Rod and reel anywhere near me.
- 28:50But I was just watching schools of fish.
- 28:52I don't know what they were. They were just going crazy.
- 28:54But they were. They were big.
- 28:55They look good too. And if you'd have had that rod
- 28:57and reel, you would have smoked something just a little, just a
- 29:01little spoon on there. You just throw right in there.
- 29:03Oh yeah, action. Gold or silver?
- 29:06What do you like? So down at the beach I've
- 29:09started using I I use silver more you know and I've used one.
- 29:13There's one I specifically get in the back of.
- 29:15It's been kind of engraved, I guess along the back.
- 29:18And so it sends off some extra, you know, you know, Yeah, it
- 29:23almost looks like fish scale, You know what I mean?
- 29:25It has a fish scale, silver looking.
- 29:26I like that guy. And dude, we tore it up probably
- 29:29a month or so ago. Like the kids were there and the
- 29:32day were throwing. Every time I go to school, the
- 29:34Fisher come through there, boom, we're catching big lady fish.
- 29:37And you know the time we were just catching all kind of crazy
- 29:39stuff. But Pompano, we're starting to
- 29:41buy. I called a Pompano and grilled
- 29:43it for dinner Friday night. And oh.
- 29:45This is nothing better than time of the good old fresh fish.
- 29:48Look folks, if y'all are listening to this leave us.
- 29:51Leave us a comment on on the show.
- 29:55If you like fishing, where do you like to fish?
- 29:57Do you like salt water? Do you like fresh water?
- 30:00Do you want to hear us talk more about fishing?
- 30:02I can do multiple, multiple shows on fishing.
- 30:06In fact, I know some pro bass fishermen.
- 30:10They will be coming on the show as guests at some point.
- 30:14Working on that. They're all in the woods right
- 30:16now. Like when?
- 30:17When? When the pro bass fishermen when
- 30:19their season ends. In like July, August depending
- 30:24on on on the the league that they're in those boys get after
- 30:29some deer hunting like that is that's all that they do they
- 30:32don't pick up another rod real some of them guide and stuff
- 30:35like that but most of them go to the woods you can't talk to them
- 30:39like they're impossible to get even get a hold of until at
- 30:43night you know they're they're out there from sunrise to.
- 30:48Sunset and not answering the phone at all and certainly not
- 30:53going to do a podcast from a tree stand though that would be
- 30:56fun. I don't think it would be very
- 30:59effective or a good use of their time but but I but I look
- 31:03forward to having the having more conversations about
- 31:05fishing. So I hope you guys out there
- 31:08like to fish, because we're definitely going to be.
- 31:11Jumping a little bit more into that with some guests and talk
- 31:14some techniques and stuff like that while I'm mentioning it.
- 31:18One of my favorite podcasts that I listen to all of the time.
- 31:22Never. And and for some reason I didn't
- 31:25mention it, I don't believe whenever we did our podcast
- 31:29about podcast kind of where Bubba.
- 31:31Found us and all I didn't mention my favorite show that I
- 31:36listen to is called Bass Talk Live.
- 31:38It's it's just a bass fishing show, but they have all of the
- 31:42best guests and stuff like that on there and you can listen to
- 31:45them on YouTube and and and everywhere else you listen to
- 31:48podcasts. But I listen to that religiously
- 31:51and get a lot of good information on bass fishing.
- 31:54There's been some controversial topics this year, especially
- 31:59this summer now that we're in the off period.
- 32:01With live scope, forward facing sonar and stuff like that, I
- 32:06have a lot of questions. I have opinions about it as
- 32:09well. I don't think it's great for the
- 32:11sport personally, but I understand that these companies
- 32:15have to sell a product and they sponsor these folks and also
- 32:19they're kind of in a bass. Fishing is in an interesting
- 32:22place at the moment. Who do you cater to?
- 32:25Do you cater to the anglers? Do you cater to these technology
- 32:28companies as tech? And and and all of that.
- 32:32So I don't know a lot to talk about in bass fishing.
- 32:35So not going to go on a tangent there.
- 32:38You know, I tell you this with with bass fishing, Bass fishing
- 32:42like the last I've watched a tournament, I don't know, six
- 32:45months ago or something. And dude, I was watching the way
- 32:48they were like doing that tournament.
- 32:51Like, I felt like I'd grew up bass fishing, like I was playing
- 32:55a the first Nintendo and they were playing on a PlayStation
- 32:59Five and it was like and it's also the same frustration where
- 33:03I go. I mean, I know I still catch
- 33:06fish, you know, I mean, but like man, they're they're just
- 33:08operating on a whole different operating system now and how
- 33:11they fish and how they go after. Yeah, they are the the common
- 33:15the common guy can't. Go out there and and do what
- 33:18they are doing because you're gonna kick your butt.
- 33:21Do they're way. Too many.
- 33:22Oh, they're gonna smoke you. Yeah.
- 33:23They have the technology and they know how to use it now.
- 33:26I mean, you, you got a you. You can't just have that.
- 33:29Put it on a boat and go out there and do it.
- 33:32You have to understand what you're looking at, what you're
- 33:34doing. An expert.
- 33:35That's what they man. They're like X.
- 33:36That's exactly what it is. They are.
- 33:38And that's what they call. It's what they label it, video
- 33:40game fishing. And that's what they're doing.
- 33:42People don't want to watch them just looking down.
- 33:45Fishing and looking down at a screen.
- 33:47They're not throwing to a stump, They're not hitting this bend of
- 33:51a Creek because it does this and does that.
- 33:54They're literally just looking at fishing fish.
- 33:56And then and then catching them, that's crazy.
- 33:59I mean, yeah, it is. I'd like to see them have some
- 34:02kind of a mix at some point where that isn't allowed in some
- 34:05tournaments like the Bassmaster Classic.
- 34:08Yeah, the biggest the Super Bowl of bass fishing.
- 34:10No forward facing sonar. No one can use it it.
- 34:15Just kind of when you get a limited.
- 34:17Field at some point you got to say.
- 34:19You're going to have to Golf's had to do it a little bit.
- 34:21Even with the range finders, which I think are nice, it just
- 34:23speeds up play. But they start adding slope and
- 34:25all that. It's like, whoa, that's too
- 34:26much, you know, I mean, like, right.
- 34:28I know it's 150 yards, but you need to figure out how much
- 34:31uphill that is or how much downhill that is by looking at
- 34:34it. You know, I mean, using a little
- 34:35bit of your skill set, you know, because I know that all these
- 34:38guys can walk it off and negative basically give you the
- 34:40same number that GPS just gave you and it saves time.
- 34:43So let's just, They're all great at that.
- 34:45But hey, you gonna do the slope, you know, I mean, yeah, you
- 34:48gotta limit that stuff, you know?
- 34:50Man, I tell you, Speaking of golf, what a disaster for the
- 34:54United States of America in the Ryder Cup, huh, man, It was.
- 35:00It was. It was, dude, it was a disaster.
- 35:03Like, see, I didn't watch. Was it Thursday, the first round
- 35:06or Friday? Yeah, Friday.
- 35:08I didn't watch that, but Saturday morning I woke up and
- 35:11saw how far behind they were. I was just like, it's even
- 35:13possible. And it was just they they dug
- 35:17themselves the most like the biggest hole, like to try to
- 35:20come back from like, what was it?
- 35:235:50 was the greatest comeback in Ryder Cup history.
- 35:26Both by the Americans and the Europeans had done it in
- 35:29different years. I think I'm going to say
- 35:31somewhere like I can't remember like in the 90s and somewhere
- 35:34around 2012, but they were down 10 1/2 to 5 1/2 entering into
- 35:38the final day with the final pairings.
- 35:40Dude, we know it's crazy. They made drama of it though at
- 35:43the end. Yeah, but you.
- 35:44But you can't get that kind of a hole and expel to come back like
- 35:48because they had a great afternoon.
- 35:49But dude, you're you're down little too little too late.
- 35:52You got your butt kicked on the 1st.
- 35:54I mean that those. Europeans came out and they
- 35:58always do, man, They they do, especially when they put they
- 36:01they do, they play the Ryder Cup well and especially when it's in
- 36:04Europe. They always you know they and
- 36:07that's kind of that's the fun of it.
- 36:09We'll we'll we'll see what happens here in a couple years
- 36:11when it swings swings back. I mean I there is some there are
- 36:16some I've seen some tweets or exes whatever you want to call
- 36:20them. They are some pissed off
- 36:22Americans talking about keeping their receipts and they won't
- 36:27forget this and that just drama in the golf world man.
- 36:30But there were a match. There was a match or two there
- 36:34late in the game where if when? I think it was, what's his name,
- 36:41Fleetwood and tricky Ricky Fowler at that point.
- 36:46Like that match was important. Everything would like guys, if
- 36:49we can get over and get back in like Americans might can pull
- 36:53this off and it would be the greatest comeback in Ryder Cup
- 36:56history. And then it was a par four, and
- 36:59it was drivable. But that green is surrounded by
- 37:02water on the right side and Ricky Tees off 1st.
- 37:06And Ricky hits one and he's trying to fade it in there a
- 37:09little bit. And the water's on the right
- 37:11side and he overcuts her a little bit, so he's in the water
- 37:16and then Fleetwood gets up there.
- 37:19He doesn't just, he doesn't just hit a good shot, dude, he
- 37:24hammers one. I mean, Green's reachable.
- 37:27This is a par 4 still. Hammers 1, takes it right at it.
- 37:31Like, he's like, whatever, dude. He hits it up there like 20 feet
- 37:34from the hole on a par four. And then obviously, you know
- 37:38Ricky, he misses the putt, the birdies, and Ricky has to knock
- 37:41it in. It's his third shot coming out.
- 37:42Water, right, That ended it. You know, I mean, that ended it.
- 37:45It was like, well, somebody made that move.
- 37:48Like if Ricky had hit that shot like that would that would have
- 37:51probably propelled them and then you know speech still in the
- 37:53course, like they would have got this information and like, dude,
- 37:57it could, it could have happened, it could.
- 37:59Have could have ignited it. It was very close because they
- 38:01just won a few matches and won a few holes.
- 38:04There were like four or five holes in a row with different
- 38:06players that had just all gone for the United States and it was
- 38:10like you could feel the crowd was shifting and it was like.
- 38:12They were starting to get a little nervous.
- 38:14They were getting very nervous and then then they, you know,
- 38:18prevailed. So like, there was some drama,
- 38:20then there was some late drama to be that far.
- 38:22Behind a fan who looked like Colonel Sanders took took off
- 38:26across the grain and jumped in the water.
- 38:28That was fun. That was great.
- 38:31That was. Funny as I thought.
- 38:32And they showed him. And I was watching.
- 38:34I was walking through the den and Alice.
- 38:36And then they they were showing them.
- 38:37I was like, wait, what? What did I just see?
- 38:39And I had to rewind it. I was like, I just saw an old
- 38:41man run across the Golf. Course living in Jason for a
- 38:45minute, they try to chase him in his way.
- 38:47Let him go. He's not trying to hurt anybody.
- 38:49He's just happening in the Waterman.
- 38:54I mean imagine it was awesome that that was that was a
- 38:58highlight for me. I mean that those Europeans,
- 39:01man, we take it serious and there's it seems to be a little
- 39:06more niche in America. There are golf fans and the golf
- 39:09fans are like baseball fans. They're purists.
- 39:12Yeah, you know they're they are like that.
- 39:14I have several guy David Ware who's.
- 39:17Contributed to the show multiple times.
- 39:19Huge golf fan. I'd love to have his take on
- 39:23this Ryder Cup, but man, no man, it's, it's, it's the Ryder Cup
- 39:28and you know and and. Caught a lot of emotion.
- 39:31Took over it. Like I forgot it was even
- 39:33happening. Like again, it was Saturday
- 39:35morning. I woke up at like 4:00 in the
- 39:36morning. And thank God because they were
- 39:38in the middle of that match and and I was watching.
- 39:40I was oh, wow, you know, But I get I did get to watch it.
- 39:42I watched it then and I watched it this morning that that finish
- 39:46was was cool. But they they they they just got
- 39:50out played, man. Like, it's just that simple Max
- 39:53Homer though, for the United States.
- 39:54That dude bawled out, man. He was the MVP of the United
- 40:00States and he kept that thing rolling like, you know, hey look
- 40:03at me guys, I'm winning. Just do what I'm doing.
- 40:05Y'all can win too, you know what I mean?
- 40:07And so. He inspired some people, even
- 40:09though they got so far down they never quit.
- 40:11They showed a lot of grit. So I'll give him dude.
- 40:14I actually give him a lot of props.
- 40:15They got into a bad spot and tried to battle.
- 40:18They tried and almost did they. They almost did, yeah.
- 40:22They they never did. There was no quit in that team.
- 40:25That mullet from Sam Burns with the USA in it, though, I mean
- 40:28that He's an LSU guy. He's a, you know?
- 40:32I know. No folks who know.
- 40:34Yeah, he is. He is, yeah.
- 40:35And I like Sam Burns. I love Sam Burns.
- 40:38He's fantastic. But.
- 40:40But not a good look. He got pumped up one time.
- 40:43I think somebody in the crowd said something to him.
- 40:45I think it was yesterday and he had a putt.
- 40:48I don't know what they said, but dude, he made that putt and
- 40:52dude, he went and he just kind of had a character for him.
- 40:54He went kind of nuts. I don't know if you've seen the
- 40:55footage. I have not.
- 40:57Oh, he was just like, you know, did he say?
- 41:00But he looked at him like super intense.
- 41:02And he was like, what do you want to say now?
- 41:04What do you want to say now? I mean, he was like, I love and
- 41:08I'm sure he dropped an F bomb in there.
- 41:11They kind of reworked. I mean, he was fired up and he
- 41:14was like, let's go, let's go. I mean, dude, it was.
- 41:16I was like, whoa, he's getting after those.
- 41:18Europeans, dude, those Europeans, They talk some
- 41:20serious, serious shit to those golfers.
- 41:23I mean, it's they got to him, whatever, they said.
- 41:25But he made the putt and then he'd ramped.
- 41:28I thought that was great. I think it's cool when people
- 41:31get like that and it's like Montgomery used to come over
- 41:33here and then Heckle him up there around New York and on the
- 41:36New Jersey area. But dude, I think it's cool.
- 41:40And like, you know it is. It's fun.
- 41:42It it, it adds and it adds. Sometimes it can be to the
- 41:45sport, but like. Yeah, add some, add some juice
- 41:48to this game, you know? There is.
- 41:50It definitely adds some juice to it, that's for sure.
- 41:53It makes it. It makes it fun, but oh, it's
- 41:55like, it's like watching Boo weekly that year in the Ryder
- 41:57Cup, wrapping up the Ryder Cup when he came off that tee box,
- 42:00riding that Golf Club like a horse.
- 42:03You know what I. Mean riding a pony And you know
- 42:07he made some good. We got to find out these dolls
- 42:09can hunt. And then he Another quote.
- 42:11Boys, these dolls can hunt, you know, I mean.
- 42:13Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just, I just thought that is
- 42:17that's good stuff that they're not doing that in a normal
- 42:19tournament, you know? Very true.
- 42:21Very true. Yeah, that very true.
- 42:24It adds that team dynamic to it. And then you you put countries
- 42:28by homeland and then the passion comes out.
- 42:31And yeah, yeah, a lot of pride. A lot of pride.
- 42:35A lot of pride and it look let's let's wrap it up.
- 42:39I know that you had mentioned and we've we've seen some some
- 42:42news that has come out from from Las Vegas.
- 42:48It kind of not going doesn't kind of go with what we've all
- 42:51talked about here but we'd be remiss to not mention they made
- 42:57an arrest in the Tupac Shakur murder from 1996 man.
- 43:02I mean, that's the year I graduated high school.
- 43:04I remember it like it was yesterday, Love.
- 43:07Tupac was jamming them then, you know, and this, all of the beef,
- 43:11all of the rumors, all of that stuff.
- 43:14And then, you know, as they say, what you do in the night will
- 43:17come to light. That's it.
- 43:20I can't believe it took this long though, because they've
- 43:23known forever who did this. It's just trying to some proof
- 43:27they didn't do this forever. He he said that he did it like
- 43:312018 about it. Yeah, he got diagnosed with
- 43:35cancer and for some reason in his mind he thought that he had,
- 43:39he was granted immunity because he had cancer.
- 43:42Like I swear he did and then and then he sits there and basically
- 43:46he confesses he was in the car. He was in the passenger seat on
- 43:49the front, his nephew Orlando and some other dude in the back
- 43:53seat and some one of them too. He didn't identify which one, I
- 43:57think. But Orlando, probably who, you
- 44:00know, they were already, they were all, they were all
- 44:02Southside Crips, right. They pulled up on him and they
- 44:05shot him. And of course somebody shot him.
- 44:07Like, right, They died. He died like, you know what I
- 44:09mean? Like, yeah.
- 44:10And this is the guy that tells you exactly how they did it.
- 44:12And there was a white Cadillac. They were in a white Cadillac.
- 44:14I mean it's like. He was dead.
- 44:15I believe it took this long. Man.
- 44:17How did? How did I took?
- 44:17This long and the guy actually shot him, He died in like 98 or
- 44:2199. He died, right, Right.
- 44:23A year or two later and but like O Keefy D, yeah, they had to run
- 44:27in that trap too much. Yeah, he thought they did.
- 44:29Your community was a real thing and it ain't Lord.
- 44:33It was interesting to hear the Las Vegas police chief going
- 44:38over the case. Apparently he's been on it.
- 44:40He looked like he was our age basically, but I guess he was
- 44:44fresh on the Force whenever that that first happened because he
- 44:49he said he's been with that this the the entire time.
- 44:53And and and the details that he laid out about how it was.
- 44:58I mean, hell, they made documentaries 15 years ago that
- 45:01told all of the same stuff. Like, I don't.
- 45:04It's just now it's crazy. Yeah it is.
- 45:07But it's some justice. I'm I'm sure you know for
- 45:09Tupac's family and all, it's it's great to finally get some
- 45:12justice in this because that dude a little closer because
- 45:14that dude was like the shot caller and from the South Side
- 45:18district and he had the main members from the South Side
- 45:21district with him. So who made that call in the
- 45:24gang world, right? He did.
- 45:25He made that call and they shot the gun.
- 45:27Like, of course he didn't shoot, but he killed it.
- 45:29He had him killed, you know? I mean, he had that call.
- 45:32He didn't do that without him knowing.
- 45:33He didn't go. What are you doing?
- 45:35Like, you know, no, no, just a shot caller made the call.
- 45:38And a shot caller has now been arrested.
- 45:40You know what's something that that's interesting as you look
- 45:42back and and at the time like Tupac was a little bit older
- 45:46than me, not much, but a a little bit older than me and.
- 45:51He seemed so much older at the time, you know, when I was 18, I
- 45:55felt he was probably like 25 or something like that, but he
- 45:58would might as well have been 50 as far as I was concerned.
- 46:01It's just like, but when you look back, man, he was just a
- 46:05kid trying to figure things out in life, you know, just like I
- 46:09was in my 20s and like everybody else was and it it's it's just
- 46:13sad that that we lost such a a talent.
- 46:17Like him, he was over some nonsense, over a bunch of
- 46:20nonsense. There's no telling what he would
- 46:22have done. He would have.
- 46:23I don't know if his musical career, it would have always
- 46:26been there. Kind of like an LL Cool J in a
- 46:28sense. Or are some of those who've
- 46:30crossed over to be gone more like a Dre route, you know, like
- 46:34and yeah and yes. But I think he would have been,
- 46:37I think he would have been an actor.
- 46:38I mean, he was fantastic and poetic justice, great actor, so
- 46:42good man. He was so talented and he had
- 46:45this ability like, and I've always tried to find out like
- 46:48like thinking about Tupac cuz I mean his music was awesome dude.
- 46:51His lyrics were so good. It was like it was actually
- 46:53thoughtful stuff. If you sit there and listen to
- 46:54what he's saying, it's like, man, this is this is this work.
- 46:58Anybody can relate to this. You don't have to be just from a
- 47:01certain place to relate. God, I don't know what he's
- 47:03talking about. Everybody could relate to his
- 47:05music. It was so relatable.
- 47:06And then he was so relatable. You looked at him.
- 47:08He's like almost like that best friend like you had growing it.
- 47:11Yeah, you liked it. Man immediately liked him just
- 47:13by looking at him. Yeah dude, it's like he had his
- 47:16flaws and it's like, but, but, but everybody knew is like,
- 47:20that's a good dude, you know? I mean.
- 47:22Yeah, yeah, he wanted you wanted, you wanted to be around
- 47:25him. He smiled.
- 47:26He was happy. He was just a go.
- 47:28Lucky fella, you know? But we'll wrap it up here with
- 47:31that. But man, I tell you, we're
- 47:33missing Jr. You know, hate that.
- 47:36I love it when we talk about music and kind of hate it
- 47:38whenever we do. And we don't have him because he
- 47:41has such an interesting perspective, man.
- 47:43He would have come in about everything so many different
- 47:46like. Slants on those.
- 47:48I mean, he would have come in different angles.
- 47:49Yeah, I totally agree. Yeah, that's it.
- 47:53I mean, you got to go out with Tupac on.
- 47:54No, me, actually. Hold on before we end.
- 47:58Jimmy Carter turned 99. Oh, yeah.
- 48:01And it's his birthday and so happy birthday, Jimmy Carter.
- 48:05I mean, he's right there. I think at the end of end of
- 48:08his, you know, time here on Earth.
- 48:12It's coming up. It sounds like talk, you know,
- 48:13listen to the family talk. But did I always was a fan of
- 48:16Jimmy Carter? I like what he did with Habitat
- 48:18for Humanity. And, you know, his presidency
- 48:21was, you know, like it was terrible or whatever.
- 48:23But like, man, what he did post presidency, like I thought was
- 48:27great. I got to hear him.
- 48:29I got to go to, I think I've told you that before to Plains,
- 48:31Georgia. Yeah.
- 48:32And. To their church.
- 48:33Didn't you go to a Sunday school tiny country church out in the
- 48:37middle of nowhere in Plains, Georgia, just outside of
- 48:39America's? I mean nowhere.
- 48:42Just a little tiny country church and you walk up there and
- 48:44Jimmy Carter teaches your son school and I went to son school
- 48:46class. Amazing.
- 48:47I thought it was phenomenal. Still got my Jimmy Carter
- 48:49button. But anyway, happy birthday.
- 48:50To David Carter, Yeah, yeah, I saw, I saw him and and his wife.
- 48:55They had a picture, a video from like two couple years ago.
- 48:59They made some. They had to.
- 49:01They wanted to just see something in town that was going
- 49:03on. I don't even remember what it
- 49:05was. And you know, they were like in
- 49:07a, in a in a convertible or whatever they they were, they
- 49:10were aged and looking old, you know, I mean that's they are
- 49:14old. They've been around a minute
- 49:15man. He's been around a minute.
- 49:17Yet they they both have. But then I saw another one.
- 49:19It was sweet, man. They just look so kind of little
- 49:23in that suburban. You know what they wanted.
- 49:25They still want to go out and wave to the people and all and
- 49:29all and. Yeah, I I I wasn't alive or I
- 49:32was barely alive whenever he was the president of the United
- 49:36States. So I I can't comment on whether
- 49:39he was good, bad or indifferent. But I agree with you 100% his
- 49:44work after his presidency, especially with the the Habitat
- 49:48for Humanity and just the genuine good person.
- 49:53Oh, a life. Well that he that he is a life
- 49:55well lived and he gave back so much.
- 49:58To Americans and and to to especially to the people there
- 50:03in his small town in in Georgia. I mean, they're proud of him.
- 50:06They should be proud of him. He's, you know, he he was he's
- 50:11as good of a man as you can be. So, yes, happy birthday to Jimmy
- 50:17Carter. No doubt, man.
- 50:19No doubt. We'll look.
- 50:20We'll wrap it up here. This has been a show.
- 50:23Just kind of talking a little bit about everything.
