Tiggy & The Handler (Bubba Army Exclusive) Ep. 1 · Tigs Bits Podcast

0:00
What's up y'all? Welcome to Tiggy and the Handler
0:04
Show right here on the Bubba Army Exclusive.
0:08
But before I get rolling, I want to give a big thank you to
0:12
Bubba, to Seth, and to the entire Bubba Army for being
0:17
patient with us while we fix the rudder on the old Tigs Bits
0:22
ship. We kind of had to pull this
0:24
thing over a little bit, patch a few leaks, slap the GPS a couple
0:29
of times and get this old lady turned back around and pointed
0:33
in the right direction. And now it is fucking time to
0:37
have some fun again. I don't know about you Jr. but I
0:48
am ready. It's so good to see you dude.
0:51
Absolutely, brother. I concur.
0:52
Yeah, I'm pumped. I'm glad with the retooling is
0:55
done. We didn't.
0:57
We just had. It was a quick offseason to get
1:00
some retooling done, and I feel like we're coming back more
1:03
prepared and better equipped this season for success than we
1:07
have probably ever. Honestly.
1:10
We've got experience in our side.
1:12
We've we've still got the gas we've got, we've got a lot of
1:16
bet partners and we know what not to do, what we're trying to
1:19
do. We've got some better direction.
1:20
We've streamlined it. We, you know, just all around
1:23
better, I think. Yeah.
1:24
Yes, a million damn percent and I think y'all are going to get
1:27
to hear some of what we're going to want to bring to you guys
1:32
moving forward and and all of that stuff.
1:35
But before we do, before we jump over into that, let's have a
1:40
little quick update Jr. I know last week on the Tigs
1:44
Bits show, the Jr. the handler show is what represented the
1:49
umbrella. And so what's been going on with
1:53
the junior the handler show, Man, bring us in.
1:55
People are loving it. By the way, I've been seeing
1:58
some feedback all around. They love that deep inside of
2:02
music, you know, kind of a, a behind the scenes, pulling the
2:06
curtain back in the music with the the different tour managers
2:10
and stuff like that. And folks, he's had some damn
2:12
big names. I know he's not, he's going to
2:15
be pretty humble here, but he's had Tracy Lawrence's tour
2:19
manager, Morgan Wallins tour manager, just, you know, the
2:24
list is going on and freaking on.
2:27
He told me about one that he dropped today to like, yeah,
2:31
yeah. If you like music and all that,
2:33
y'all got to go check it out. Not only when we play those with
2:38
you guys on the Bubba Army exclusive, but just go to Jr.
2:41
The Handler and find him on YouTube and all that and go
2:44
listen to his show every week. It's freaking fascinating.
2:49
Yeah, it's it's no, that's great, brother.
2:51
No. And I appreciate it.
2:52
Yeah. It's been a blast getting to
2:53
catch up with some people that I haven't gotten to in this form
2:58
ever. You know, I've been friends with
3:00
some of these people for over for 20 years, but we've never
3:03
talked this conversation in the form we're doing.
3:06
It's usually in passing or, you know, in a different setting
3:10
with other people. This is a one-on-one, a
3:11
conversation about how you got to where you're at it because
3:14
it's really, it's really interesting because, you know,
3:17
like we've said, no one knows how someone gets to work in the
3:20
music business unless you play or sing or something like that.
3:23
But there's all these other jobs.
3:24
So and, and no one that I've had on so far had a plan when they
3:28
were a kid to become a tour manager.
3:30
But like you said, they've become some of the biggest and
3:32
most credentialed in the industry.
3:34
You know, like I said, I had Opie, Tommy McDonald, Tracy
3:38
Lawrence's tour manager, Chris Tate, Big and Rich, Chase
3:42
Butler, Riley Green, my buddy Boyd Causey, who's been with
3:45
everybody, He's a Bama guy, John Lassard, big, and I mean low
3:48
cash, and Jeff Gossett, Morgan Wallin.
3:51
That's who we've had on so far this episode.
3:53
I don't know when this show will drop, but this week that's
3:55
coming out is my brother, Mr. Mike Nash, who started off in
3:59
the rock'n'roll world but now works for one of our favorite
4:04
country singers out there working today, Mr. Joe Nichols.
4:08
So, so. And we are.
4:10
Actually, I think I met him. I I think I met him.
4:12
You may have to meet him. Yes, you did.
4:13
You probably did. Yeah.
4:14
Long blonde hair. Mike Nash.
4:15
Great guy. I've been around for a long
4:17
time. Got in the business working with
4:18
like. Oh, gosh.
4:20
Who was it? Was it Scorpions or some rock
4:23
band? You know, when he was in high
4:26
school or right out of high school in Ohio?
4:27
Yeah, just random. And then worked for Doc McGee,
4:30
one of the biggest managers of all time, and that's how we got
4:34
with Chris Kagle. And yes, it was about a year ago
4:37
and we were, I was sitting on the tailgate of a truck
4:40
backstage at the Country Jam or whatever it was in Denham
4:44
Springs. And me, you and him, we're
4:46
talking. And that's exactly who it was.
4:48
Because I remember just, I remember he walked off and I
4:52
went, good Lord, man. That's about, that's what you're
4:57
taught. That's what you're supposed to
4:59
hear backstage at an, at A, at a.
5:02
He probably had his he probably had his earpiece in.
5:05
He always wears his earpiece because he's multitasking
5:07
usually as we do, but but he's on this week's episode and he's
5:11
and he it was a great and then the I just recorded, like you
5:13
said, I got one of the can today with Robert Gallagher, who has
5:16
been the entertainment director at Billy Bob's since they
5:19
opened. Basically has been had a part
5:21
had a hand in helping with the talent at Billy Bob's in Fort
5:23
Worth, TX, which is a huge if anybody hasn't has never been or
5:27
never heard of Billy Bob's. It is a huge honky tonk
5:30
nightclub that has national acts play there regularly.
5:33
I mean, it probably holds 555 hundred in the place sellable
5:37
tickets. It's a big venue.
5:39
It's in the stockyards of Fort Worth.
5:40
They do it right there where they have the rodeos and all the
5:43
different things. It's it's a really cool historic
5:45
place. It's kind of the rodeo version
5:49
of the floor Bama, if the floor Bama is the beach, best beach
5:51
version of with, you know, with stages and all that.
5:53
This doesn't have as many stages, but it has one big
5:56
stage. They don't have a beach, but
5:58
they got a rodeo and and cows everywhere and, you know, a
6:00
little town with all the stuff. Really cool.
6:02
But Gallagher's been there forever and has just more
6:06
stories than I'm ever going to get recorded on any all the
6:08
podcasts I probably ever do put together.
6:11
So it was great and it was today we recorded.
6:13
It was the birthday of one of his best buddies and favorite
6:17
artists of all time, Mr. Gary Stewart, the King of the Honky
6:19
Tonk. Oh hell yeah.
6:21
So it worked out good. We talked, told some Gary
6:24
Stewart stories and we talked about the, you know, recent
6:26
passing of Johnny Rodriguez, who he was friends with and, you
6:30
know, did our Mount Rushmore. And he just got Willie Nelson on
6:34
his Mount Rushmore of country music.
6:35
He says that's about all you need.
6:37
Pretty damn. It's hard to argue.
6:40
That's hard to argue. Any of them, really.
6:41
Spoiler alert. I love it.
6:43
Yeah, well, that's why you got to.
6:45
That's why you got to tune into everything.
6:46
You never know. I drop.
6:49
We did that on Justin's podcast back then.
6:50
I'll drop exclusive. I know it.
6:52
I promise. Y'all, it's coming.
6:53
And it might be. It might be quick and it might
6:55
not be like I really don't be. Listed.
6:58
But you better be listed because I throw it out there.
7:00
I'll drop a hint or here or there.
7:01
Just pay attention, yeah? Hell yeah, a preacher.
7:04
Says y'all listening. I saw a preaching.
7:07
Y'all listening? Amen.
7:09
Amen. I love it man.
7:12
Shout out Pastor Steve. Shout out Pastor Steve.
7:14
Home of Louisiana the best. I love pastors in Louisiana
7:17
dude. Especially South Louisiana and
7:20
not in and we're not getting in a religion deal, but like
7:24
Baptist preachers, I'm Baptists. OK, so a Baptist preacher in
7:29
South Louisiana is just a different cat than they are in
7:33
the rest of the country. You know what I mean?
7:35
This. Pastor Steve is from somewhere
7:37
in central Alabama. He tells a story.
7:39
I don't I haven't got to talk to him in depth about that, but he
7:43
and he poor grew up poor central Alabama godless home and anyway
7:47
young age found it and went on seminary.
7:49
All that stuff has been Louisiana for been all over the
7:51
South been in Louisiana for a long time and it's just perfect.
7:54
It's the perfect mixing. He's been there.
7:56
He's I think his wife's from there.
7:58
But so anyway, it just works just right for me and everybody
8:02
everybody loves him. It's great and it's a lot of,
8:05
you know, it's a lot of Catholics that, that you know,
8:08
because this is not a Catholic Church we go to, you know, but
8:10
it's, but it's great. I, I, I shout out it.
8:13
And if that's not, if that's not your cup of tea, go do something
8:16
like that. Go have something in your life
8:17
for sure. Just get in the.
8:18
That's the best one be. Around the best one be around.
8:21
That, yeah, yeah. But be around people.
8:24
It's just a good thing to be around people.
8:26
Be around good people for the right.
8:28
Reasons. There you go.
8:29
Try to be a good influence. So that's my new motto, Tiggy,
8:32
just trying to be a better influence than I have been in
8:34
the past. I just want to be a good
8:35
influence to all my God, children, nieces, nephews,
8:38
Riley, all anybody, anybody I can randomly meet at the grocery
8:41
store. I just want to be a better
8:42
example of the best example I can be.
8:44
I think that's a great thing to do and I try every single day.
8:48
Look, it's easy to fall into the pitfalls of life and getting
8:52
pissed off about whatever is happening or whatever situation
8:56
or this or that. But if you take that deep breath
8:59
and you start to think about it really and truly, how much time
9:03
do I have left on this planet? Is this the kind of way this is
9:07
this moment, the way I should spend that energy?
9:10
Or should I have give the other person a little bit of grace?
9:14
Because I think every, every single person at at some point
9:17
becomes about them and they project that.
9:21
And whatever the conversation is that you're having, and then you
9:26
may receive that projection and then that puts you tilted.
9:30
That gets you all on tilt and then it gets you all out of
9:34
whack. Don't let it, don't let it play
9:36
your game. Stay in your lane and
9:39
everything's going to work out. I see it, I love it.
9:43
Well, there's y'all's motivational works of wisdom for
9:45
Tiggy and the Handler today. I hope y'all enjoyed this
9:48
episode. Thank you to all our fine
9:49
sponsors and everybody out here who makes the show happen.
9:52
There's not a chance in hell we can do anything any better than
9:55
we just did for the rest of this.
9:57
But but we're gonna try. We're gonna try.
10:01
So Jr., obviously we're calling this at this moment, we're
10:05
putting a little, we're just a little stakeholder if you will,
10:09
but we want the Bubba Army to decide.
10:12
So when Jr. and I jump on and do this show, we're going to call
10:17
it Tiggy and the Handler. And you know, if y'all have
10:20
another thought or some other name that you want to give us
10:24
for the show, we are all ears. But for now that's the
10:28
placeholder. We're going to go with Tiggy and
10:30
the Handler. But let's talk a little bit
10:32
about what we're going to do here.
10:33
Jr. So Tigs Bits has kind of evolved
10:39
with the changing of the rudder, the direction of the ship, the
10:43
changes that we've had happen, the restructuring of the brand,
10:48
if you will. We've kind of changed
10:50
everything. So I'm doing my own solo stuff
10:54
that that remains the Tigs Bits podcast and you can go find that
10:58
at tigsbits.com and all of that stuff.
11:02
I'm going to be doing interviews with food influencers a lot more
11:05
than that. I can tell you that I've got a
11:07
few things in the can already. I've got some stuff coming.
11:12
Not going to show my cards here either on that side.
11:16
And then Jr., of course, as we've just talked about doing
11:19
the Jr. the Handler show, our thoughts on this, we're doing a
11:24
lot and we're keeping shows going, side projects, All this
11:27
stuff is we want to give you guys the Bubba Army, the best
11:32
show that you can get. So Jr. is going to let me know
11:36
if I haven't heard them all. And no offense, Jr. knows I
11:40
can't listen to every single show of his and he ain't
11:43
listening to every single one of ours.
11:45
And all these just, there's only so much time in the day.
11:48
But when he gives me a recommendation and so far every
11:51
show he's had has been a damn banger of a show.
11:54
So I mean, it ain't hard. Just pick one.
11:57
We're going to have weeks where we release Jr., the Handler
12:00
shows. Then we're going to have weeks
12:04
where like next week we're going to release a, a, a Tigsbits
12:08
episode. But that brings us to this, the
12:10
Tiggy and the Handler show. And tonight, we're going to do
12:14
what I think this is what we should have been doing the whole
12:19
time with this Bubba Army exclusive.
12:23
We've listened to critics and listen to good positive feedback
12:28
and stuff. And we just agree.
12:30
We all agree, and we're not rehashing it.
12:32
That just over the course of time, the biggest problem for us
12:35
is we never built consistency and we never stuck to we're
12:39
going to do this, we're going to do this and keep going with it.
12:43
That's on us. We get it.
12:45
We're done with that. So what we're going to start to
12:48
do on the Tiggy and the Handler show, not only will we do this,
12:52
but some of these shows are going to be like tonight where
12:54
we do reactions to our fellow Bubba Exclusive Army podcast
13:00
members. Play a clip, get a little
13:02
reaction and just say what the hell, some of this stuff opens
13:07
in our minds of what on earth we could talk about.
13:12
I found some good clips tonight. Jr. has not been prepped.
13:16
He just knows we're going to do this format.
13:18
But Jr. knows, absolutely. No, I brought you to this point
13:22
of the. Show not just today, but most
13:24
everyday Jr. Directed.
13:27
But that's part of the charm and the beauty of this.
13:29
Well, we talked about it. Don't let I'm not to cut you
13:32
off, but we talked about this a little bit on the phone or
13:34
texting earlier. That was kind of my plan out the
13:38
whole I was like, well, Blasey's going to roll into this hardcore
13:41
and Tiki's going to roll off that.
13:42
I'm going to be the guy who hadn't seen it.
13:44
So everybody's going to get an insider reaction in between guy
13:47
and a guy who ain't seen it for nothing and that just first time
13:50
he's heard it. But Blasey didn't manage Bubble
13:51
for six months, so. Yeah, then we just.
13:54
We lost folks. So sorry, glad.
13:57
So thankful for the people who stuck with us.
13:59
For real. So thankful.
14:01
So thankful. There really are some of you
14:04
left us. Fuck you, come back.
14:08
We'll never forget you. We love you plenty.
14:11
Of you're back in, you're back in Joe, Joe, I'm thinking about
14:17
it bringing you back in. New regime, whole new deal,
14:20
whole new deal. So yeah, we're this.
14:26
Is going to be fun, but yeah, that's what I was kind of
14:28
wanting to do anyway. I love to react because to me
14:30
it's just great and it's hard to re enact that initial reaction.
14:37
Like if I listen to it in the car and I hear something on one
14:39
of those shows. And then yes, exactly, exactly.
14:43
So no, I think it's beautiful. I mean, obviously I've heard
14:46
them because I've, I've listened to them to clip them.
14:49
But what I didn't do is what I usually do is overanalyze shit,
14:55
prepare, put a bunch of notes of this is going to be great.
14:58
Whenever I say this. I didn't do any of that.
15:01
So I'm just going to wing it myself as far as what the hell
15:04
comes out. And I think that'll make it more
15:06
fun. So we've got to start with with
15:09
our friends at over the line, our buddies, our buddies over
15:14
there, Bird and and Andrew and dude, they cut up.
15:18
They're fun and, and, and there's zero doubt in my mind
15:22
they're making some great traction into the bubble Army.
15:25
The bubble Army seems to love them, as they freaking should.
15:29
Oh, dude, those that's the epitome of they were, they were
15:32
opening for us and then of, of when ACDC open for Blue Öyster
15:40
Cult and then one year to the day Blue Öyster Cult was opening
15:43
for ACDC. We're we're open, we're opening
15:46
for those guys now. Oh 100% I don't even.
15:49
We may even be the third fucking band on.
15:51
The we might be first of three. It's OK.
15:55
It's literally me and you acoustic now.
15:57
We're not even a bad, it's just we're a duo.
15:59
We're not even a bad. Anymore.
16:00
We lost the duo, the smoke, the fire, the pyro.
16:03
We lost it all. We went on a cocaine binge and
16:06
booze for a while. We had lost women.
16:09
It's like we lost our lead singer, but like you're, you're
16:11
the you're the guitar player and I'm the drummer and we're just
16:14
going to figure it out. You're going to sing it for you
16:15
and I'm going to sing it for you.
16:16
We'll make it work. We don't have our good looking
16:17
front man anymore, but the golden throw.
16:21
But we'll just I'll sing a few, you'll sing a few.
16:23
We'll still play. It'll be fun.
16:24
Hell yeah, Hell yeah we will. We'll listen.
16:27
But there's no bigger and better endorsement than to get it from
16:32
the man himself. Listen to this exchange.
16:37
So apparently Bubba. Bubba loves John Bird.
16:41
He loves him, so just listen. Supposedly I guess the over the
16:46
line guys did a song about Stacy G.
16:50
Did you know that? What the fuck is going on?
16:53
Bob Cook who listens to everything?
16:56
Did I miss every podcast? Did I not pre screen that
16:59
episode? I don't know, but it was pretty
17:01
good. Was it like a was it a like an
17:03
impromptu or Yes, yes. And the dude that looks like
17:07
Tuttle the the goggled up dude Bird.
17:10
I guess Bird's pretty fucking talented where you can give him
17:13
like a like a topic and Berto Berto riff on it.
17:16
Yeah, I mean, they, that's, I mean, that's Andrew's guy.
17:19
That's his that's his dude. He's I, I I would imagine he's
17:22
like Bird. I know Bird likes you.
17:24
We should steal Bird away. Where do they live?
17:27
Alabama. He remember Bird got fired, so
17:30
he's free. Bird got fired from where?
17:32
He was working at the radio station with Andrew on his show,
17:35
and they fired him So bird we could could we have bird on
17:38
occasionally? Yeah.
17:40
What? Yeah.
17:41
I mean, yeah, for sure. What?
17:43
What do you want a bird on? I don't know, maybe a bird on a
17:47
Clement Kush or something. I don't know.
17:48
OK. I didn't know you were yearning
17:50
for him. Yearning for bird?
17:51
Yeah. All right, we'll, we'll, we'll
17:52
get that taken care of. That's awesome.
17:55
Yeah. Congrats, Bird.
17:56
That's killer, man. Yearning for bird baby.
17:59
Yearning for bird? Awesome.
18:00
See, that's what happens. He gets fired and then he gets
18:02
picked up somewhere else. That's how life works, boys and
18:04
girls. That's just how it works.
18:05
Hell yeah. You get knocked down how many
18:07
times you get back up. That's exactly right.
18:11
That's exactly. Right, that's basically the
18:13
anointment there. That's Bubba taking his sword
18:15
and Bird on his knee, doing the shoulder deal.
18:17
That's it. Son of a bitch.
18:18
I mean, it's exactly what happened to Blasey was knighted,
18:21
you know, boom bam bam bam and like holy water poured on you
18:27
and then just abandoned the whole thing, but whatever.
18:30
Now it sounds like Birds got a little leg up on Blasey, because
18:32
Bird doesn't have a full Yeah, he's got to travel around to do
18:35
so. He should.
18:36
Hopefully he can capitalize a little better.
18:39
That's great. That's awesome.
18:40
And he is. And they're funny.
18:41
I don't. I need to listen to more of
18:43
those. But when I have the the stuff
18:44
I've listened to, those guys are great.
18:46
I like all them guys. They're Bama boys.
18:47
Of course, you know, I'm, I'm a Homer anyway, so Bama, you know,
18:51
I need to reach out to them dudes.
18:52
But yeah, that I'm happy for him.
18:53
That's great. Well.
18:54
What's what's hilarious? I texted Andrew.
18:57
Where is this song about our our friend Stacy G?
19:01
I have to hear it. And I said, dude, look, it's
19:03
fine. It's it's totally fine If you
19:06
don't get it, it's last minute. I just want I want to hear the
19:09
song. It's awesome.
19:10
And and then he said, well, why don't we just get bird?
19:13
I'm just going to get bird to make a song about you.
19:16
And then I went, OK, that OK, That's so God knows what's going
19:23
to happen with that. So I think he's going to it.
19:25
Birds going to roast me in a song.
19:28
And I think be careful what you ask.
19:30
I didn't ask for this number one.
19:32
I did not ask for it. But I mean shit, we'll ride.
19:36
Well, if he enjoys doing it and somebody gets a kick out of it,
19:40
hell do it. You know what I mean?
19:42
That's what I'm I. Promise you I'm going to
19:44
whatever he says is going to be accurate and and I'm going to
19:49
laugh. It doesn't bother me a little.
19:52
Yes, it's fun. That's what we do.
19:54
It's podcast, it's fun. It's especially that's part of
19:57
the bubbled army in the network that Bubba and Seth, I mean,
20:01
those guys have created with banter, camaraderie.
20:04
We all, we all enjoy each other's stuff and put, you know,
20:07
it's just great. I love it.
20:08
Yeah, I'm totally pulling for those guys and that's awesome.
20:10
I can't wait to hear this. I want to hear.
20:12
I thought that was going to be on the tape, was going to be the
20:14
Stacey. G song, but I know we got well,
20:17
that's what they it's kind of yeah, I know it's it's a little
20:20
it's a little underwhelming. But Bubba, Bubba have been
20:23
playing on the show. They didn't play it on there.
20:26
I'm not. Sure, if they did, I'm not sure.
20:29
They didn't. They didn't on they didn't on
20:31
Clem and Kush. They didn't on Clem and Kush.
20:33
So I don't know where I don't know where they heard it, but I
20:38
did tell Andrew I was like, and by the time you hear this
20:40
podcast, he may have they probably has done it.
20:43
But I said you need to make that into a clip and get that out
20:47
like like ASAP. Make a make a make a make a Just
20:51
a crazy music video out of it that's, you know, just obscure
20:55
and random as a. Bunch of B roll of Bubba and.
20:58
Yeah, just just superimpose bird on there.
21:00
It's about Stacey G It's about Stacey G.
21:03
Well, that's OK. You got a guy a lot of.
21:05
Times ago you're thinking. About whoever.
21:07
Roxanne. It's a Roxanne.
21:09
You know the guy singing about Roxanne, He's thinking about
21:11
Stacey G You have you superimpose a picture of Bird.
21:13
You have Bird and superimpose all this stuff around him and
21:16
behind him, like, and then a picture of her.
21:18
Oh, it'd be. It'd be great.
21:20
I like it. I like to see.
21:21
There you go. This is why he is a tour manager
21:24
for one of the top acts in country music, ladies and
21:28
gentlemen. I mean, the dude has ideas.
21:30
You might want to listen. You might want to listen.
21:34
I got a bunch, I got a bunch of ideas, but I'm I'm still just
21:37
sitting here playing on my computer well.
21:40
Speaking of playing on the computer and your ideas and
21:43
songs you mentioned before, we hit the.
21:46
Airwaves, yeah, I, you know, talking about songs and I, I was
21:50
hoping to hear that because I heard, I don't even know where I
21:53
heard something random the other day.
21:55
And last night I'm watching wrestling videos as I always do,
22:01
and I'm watching shoot interviews and this and that.
22:03
And I'm just thinking, man, we're all smart marks now, you
22:07
know, because like, you know, we're all just smart marks now
22:09
because the Internet, you can watch, you can learn, you know,
22:11
all the stories about all the legends, you know, everybody's a
22:13
smart mark now. So I just started singing We're
22:16
all smart marks now. We're all smart.
22:18
I just started singing a thing like that.
22:20
And I thought, let me just throw that.
22:21
I just thought it was a great because I used to always I've
22:23
got a, a list of song titles and ideas and stuff I've just wrote
22:26
down over the years, you know, and I thought, let me just put
22:28
this in ChatGPT because I've been playing with it some and
22:31
just to see what it pops out. I put write a song called We're
22:34
all smart marks now about the rise of wrestling fans being
22:37
knowledgeable now in the information age.
22:39
Write it in a classic rock style and this is what it puts out.
22:42
Used to be a mystery behind the curtain wall.
22:44
Kayfabe rule the ring and the crowd obeyed the call.
22:47
But now dirt sheets drop before the show's begun.
22:49
We all know the finish line before the match is won.
22:52
Pre chorus. No more secrets in the smoke.
22:55
No more swerves without a clue. We're all chanting 5 star
22:58
classic for the bell breaks through chorus.
23:01
We're all smart marks now. No more work in the crowd.
23:04
We've all had scripts and we shout too loud, popping for the
23:07
heel turn, calling every spot. Somehow we're not in the dark.
23:10
We're all smart marks now. Holy shit, that is just like
23:14
Nickelback wrote that, bro. I hear it.
23:17
I hear it, I hear the anthem. It's an anthem.
23:20
We used to Boo and tear like a like, a, Booker said.
23:23
Now we're talking work rate while the match is still ahead,
23:25
streaming live from Tokyo, debating the G1 Climax.
23:29
Who knows who's over, who's buried, who's next to get the
23:32
axe. We're we ain't the marks of
23:33
yesterday. We're the ones who write the
23:35
thread guessing gimmicks, pushing singles fantasy booking
23:38
in our head. It's kind of going with like a
23:40
POD theme of like, we are, we are the youth of a nation.
23:45
That's what I'm hearing in this. But we are.
23:49
We are. We're all smart marks now.
23:53
We know the game, we love the game.
23:55
We call the names, we chant the names.
23:57
We're smart marks now. Smart marks now.
23:58
Smart marks now. We are, we are smart marks now.
24:03
We are, we are smart marks now. That ridiculous, but you know
24:11
anyway that it just spits it out so fast and I didn't.
24:14
And how does it know to use all those lingos for wrestling?
24:17
That's what that's the thing that that's that's what's
24:20
unbelievable. He Mark's kayfabe probably
24:24
because of Mark. And it knows, I mean, it's not
24:26
like, you know, it's because smart Marks now understand the
24:32
terminology that they used to use before it was all
24:36
distributed across the Internet. Can this be rewritten in Carney
24:40
speak? Used to be the gaffe behind the
24:43
K Fay veil. The boys worked in towns, kept a
24:45
biz off the rails. Now the stoogie spill for pop
24:48
for pop with hits, we've got the finish heap for the ref throws
24:51
the fit. Like an Insane Clown Posse hit.
24:54
Yeah. Our boy, our boy Longwood, if
24:57
you're listening, I saw him. He just celebrated his 50th.
25:01
Dude was getting in it. And so whereas everybody else,
25:04
it was freaking awesome. He was on stage in an insane,
25:08
Insane Clown Posse concert. I never saw him, but ain't no
25:14
doubt they nuts. Yeah, don't they do like do they
25:17
still do that big show the the Juggalo party, whatever it is in
25:20
Oklahoma or somewhere They have a big thing that they have.
25:23
They used to have a big like. That could be where what he was
25:26
at yes, I remember yes, it could be where he was at, but there
25:31
you go. I mean that's crazy.
25:32
ChatGPT we can spend we're actually, we will circle back to
25:36
just a little bit of AI before we end this.
25:40
But before, before we get there, our buddies at Operation
25:44
Pigmentation, our favorite show, I mean.
25:46
I love that show. Those guys are great together.
25:49
I think Seth has the most fun doing that show.
25:51
Oh, you could definitely tell. There's no doubt he does.
25:54
Let's hear a little bit from our friends here at Operation
25:58
Pigmentation. Now it just dives right in.
26:00
The thing that was grabbed my attention is obviously over on
26:05
Tigs Bits. I like to talk about cooking and
26:07
I'm talking to people in the food space and all of that stuff
26:12
is predominantly what's taken over over there.
26:14
Well, they're talking about food, baby, so it marked
26:18
Speaking of Mark, so I'm marking out to a little grub, but
26:24
they're talking squirrels and raccoons and possums and
26:27
barbecues and they just get in it.
26:30
They they start out talking about Xavier Leggett's house and
26:35
him eating horse meat and then it just continues on.
26:39
Biggie said. I can take you to Xavier Leget's
26:41
house and you can ride horses with him.
26:43
He lives right down the street. You guys know he's plays plays
26:46
wide receiver for the Panthers. Yeah, I'd rather, I'd rather I
26:49
rather he has horses themselves. Yeah, but he eats like, what the
26:53
fuck does he eat? He eats horse.
26:55
Meat No. Bison.
26:56
He eats like raccoon and squirrel.
26:59
Yeah. Country.
27:01
Oh yeah. No, he's super country.
27:03
Yeah. You know what?
27:04
How big a squirrel? Is that you eat?
27:07
No. Yeah, see, you ain't even seen
27:09
them, kind of. Squirrel, you eat us.
27:10
You've you've had a squirrel. No, I ain't never I taste
27:12
squirrel. No, I never do.
27:14
That you what you've why? Wonder what?
27:16
Wonder what happened? It was on the grill.
27:18
What? What grill at a BBQ or an
27:20
experiment? No, that was barbecue and like,
27:23
hey, man, here's some raccoon coming right up for you.
27:25
They was on the rotisserie. OK, but was it like, hey,
27:28
chicken fucking you know what made me ask was they were on the
27:33
rotisserie set. I I like they were above the
27:36
grill. Turning and I'm like, well what
27:39
the fuck is that? A rat.
27:41
It's a rat. No, it's a.
27:43
Squirrel, what'd you do to have the tail?
27:45
The same family. No, the tail ain't on the.
27:47
Tails aren't OK. Yeah, the tails.
27:49
Awful. All right, man, listen, I'm.
27:51
Would you taste it? No.
27:54
You wouldn't even know the difference that shit is.
27:56
Great, get the fuck out of here man.
27:59
My grandma showed up at the Thanksgiving dinner.
28:02
What about Rabbit? Would you try Rabbit?
28:04
I eat rabbit before I like. Rabbit too.
28:07
Rabbit's good. That's different.
28:09
I'm not saying that I was joked up.
28:10
With a goddamn whole possum. But she left.
28:15
But she left Thanksgiving with that whole possum.
28:19
Nobody ate. Fuck no, we don't eat that shit
28:22
dude. Why was her husband Mr. Buddy?
28:25
Why he didn't eat none of it. He eating everybody else shit.
28:29
But so he brought something that he didn't eat well.
28:33
He he caught the Coon. I'm grandma cooked the Coon or
28:37
the possum. Which one was it?
28:39
It's something that that I don't eat and my mom was like, my kids
28:42
ain't eating that shit. The fuck?
28:47
Is that for like, is that a, is that for poor people to eat or
28:50
is it really good? That was for some country.
28:52
Ass it's not. Poor people, because you
28:54
actually got to have some means to be able to catch it and know
28:58
how to cook them. And yeah, the people that eat
29:00
coons? Impossible.
29:01
That's like holiday. Those are holiday things.
29:06
It used to be a delicacy biggie. Biggie said.
29:08
We hatched the raccoon like pulled pork.
29:10
Yeah, Berto said. Country eating is the best kind
29:14
of eating. Yeah, because it's.
29:15
Free. I've had possum chili and we
29:18
don't know the difference. Come on.
29:20
But now, now, Craig, now you're just being high.
29:21
No, I'm dead now. You're just being high.
29:23
You. Know I go from a rotisserie
29:25
squirrel to possum chili. Listen, these are all the things
29:27
that I've seen on the grill. Are you ready?
29:29
Yeah. Rattlesnake, squirrels, coons,
29:35
possums, alligator, rabbit. Armadillo iguana.
29:43
I've seen Iguana Iguana. I haven't tasted all these
29:46
things, but I've seen them grilled.
29:48
I've had, you know, I've eaten squirrel.
29:50
We used to eat rabbit regularly and I'm not opposed to trying
29:53
anything if somebody knows what they're doing, but I'm not
29:55
eating no nasty stuff from somebody who's cooking nasty.
29:58
That took my question right out of my mouth is all right.
30:02
So let's let's think about this for for a second.
30:06
Exotic animals, number one. What?
30:10
What have you eaten? Of course, in Louisiana,
30:13
anything is game there is there? I mean, you, you.
30:16
It's wide open. It is in Alabama too.
30:19
It's like whatever you can get. I mean, for instance, at the
30:23
last tailgate you. Go to hunting camps and things
30:26
like that. Hell yeah, Hell yeah.
30:28
I mean, the last tailgate I was at Jr. which was for an LSU
30:32
baseball game when they played Tennessee about a month ago.
30:36
Big baseball game, top five teams.
30:40
We had a monster tailgate like we do for football season.
30:44
Somebody there's this little, there's a golf course across the
30:47
street from LSU's baseball stadium, and there was a big old
30:52
snapping turtle, big old snapping turtle that was
30:56
crossing the street. There's a little pond right
30:58
there, you know, So it got lost. Whatever.
31:01
Oh no, boy got that turtle put that sucker in the back of the
31:06
truck and it was a we ate that sucker.
31:10
You damn right he did. He sent pictures to us.
31:12
Oh yeah, he kept saying. He was one of my favorite.
31:15
Things this thing was going. To die.
31:17
Yeah, it's going to die, right? And that's why you, And that's
31:20
what they were asking, why you eat this stuff a lot of times
31:21
because if you don't going to be too many of them, they're going
31:24
to die of bad causes. So a lot of times it's good for
31:27
natural balance. Oh, I don't have a problem.
31:29
I have no problem with it. I.
31:31
Yeah, but you know what I'm saying though, that's like.
31:32
You never had it though. I've never had turtle.
31:34
I haven't either. I've had you never had little.
31:37
Food. I've never had turtle soup that
31:39
I'm aware of, but I'm certainly not against.
31:42
It if you drive South sometime, I know I like spars, a lot of
31:45
them restaurants around there have.
31:46
But man, down there in South Louisiana, man, good turtle
31:49
soup. That little cup of that Brandy
31:51
Sherry stuff they put in the top.
31:52
It's a unique flavor, but man, it's nothing weird.
31:55
It's good, man. I really enjoy turtle.
31:57
Yeah. I don't know if I've eaten other
31:59
turtle than that before, but yeah, I've eaten alligator.
32:02
I've eaten snake before. Frogs, a lot of frogs.
32:04
I mean, we do that regularly in Louisiana.
32:06
Somebody, somebody. We.
32:07
Yeah, we had that conversation at the last crawfish boil that
32:11
we just had. Somebody was like, hey, would
32:13
you eat some frog legs? I was like, hell yeah, hell
32:17
yeah. I'll eat some fried frog legs.
32:18
What are we going to get them? I'll fry them.
32:20
We need to just go do, get, go get them.
32:22
Like, oh, we're going to go frog gigging.
32:24
OK, You know where to go. I'm, I'm not opposed to it.
32:27
We can get those big old bullheaded.
32:29
Yeah, the big legs, they're good.
32:31
And then people say something like, well, that's weird.
32:33
I'm like, you eat, you like lobster.
32:34
Oh, I love lobster. Well, look at the lobster.
32:36
It looks like a damn alien. Yeah, I mean the lobsters is a
32:40
crawfish is just a mini lobster. Frog legs really do taste like
32:45
chicken. So does squirrel talking about
32:48
squirrel, but I've never I've never seen squirrel.
32:51
It sounded I'm not. The picture that Rio painted is
32:55
that it's a squirrel on a rotisserie, which and I'm
33:00
thinking it's whole skint, obviously no tail, maybe a head,
33:05
maybe not a head and I'm rotating.
33:08
I'm I've not ever seen that. I don't know.
33:10
I've never had smoked squirrel. I neither but and you know a lot
33:14
of people talk about eating Nutra, how good Nutra is.
33:17
I don't, I mean, I'd eat any of this shit.
33:19
There's nothing. I really think that God put
33:23
everything on this planet for us to be able to feast upon.
33:28
And you know, it's some some of it.
33:31
You got to know how to cook it. That's where cooks come into
33:34
play. You just got to know how to
33:36
break it down. That's a good one for that.
33:38
Duck can be the most exquisite piece of meat that you ever put
33:42
in your mouth. Or it could be the worst.
33:46
Like if you don't do it right, it can just be terrible.
33:51
But ducks? Another one I've eaten we've
33:53
I've eaten duck. I've eaten dove quail, you know.
33:57
Oh God, when I was up at that last hunting camp, we ate all
33:59
kinds of stuff. I've never had a guana.
34:03
For tomorrow, never had a never wanna know.
34:06
Never had Iguana, but I guess that would make sense that it
34:09
would be a little, you know, a little more readily available in
34:13
Florida, especially South Florida.
34:15
And I, I feel like that's not going to have much meat, that
34:17
they're kind of scrawny anyway. It's kind of like alligator.
34:20
Alligator is overrated. I mean it gets OK to for a
34:22
little. Noodles.
34:22
I bet it tastes like chicken. Yeah, I bet it does.
34:26
Yeah, stringy dry chicken. Yeah, I I only like alligator
34:30
fried. I don't have wheat Gator fried.
34:33
We've smoked. We've smoked Gator at our
34:35
tailgate before too. And we always do in LSU Place,
34:38
Florida. And you know, I mean, what else
34:41
are we going to do in? Louisiana.
34:42
Of course. What?
34:43
What? Yeah, but.
34:44
And I like and I. Hate it.
34:45
I don't even eat it anymore, it's gross.
34:48
Yeah, and I like fish, but I don't like all fish.
34:49
Like, I don't really like salmon and stuff.
34:51
I like good white, flaky fish. But I know people.
34:53
I'm not a huge salmon guy. But a growing up I knew there
34:56
were people that would eat any kind of fish you caught, and I
34:59
still are. Now for sure, now have had
35:02
garballs. You ever had garballs?
35:06
So gar, I mean gar balls. It's just by the way, the way
35:08
you clean them their their skin is I shouldn't tell this story,
35:13
but I'm going to there is back in high school before we knew
35:19
any better or anything before I realized this person was a
35:23
complete criminal. He we all went down below the
35:27
dam of Toledo Bend. We went fishing, caught up big
35:30
old gar, probably 10 or 12 lbs. I mean, they get bigger than
35:34
that, but you know, good sized gar, good, good sized gar.
35:38
And we tied it to a, you know, to a Stringer and we're going to
35:42
keep it and he's going to keep it and do whatever.
35:45
Well, he decided to tie it to the ball of the truck and drag
35:49
it down the highway. Going back.
35:51
Dude that thing started sparking like like chains.
35:57
It was sparking because that's how tough the skin is.
36:00
Metallic on your skin? Yeah.
36:01
Yeah, PETA, if you're listening to this, sorry, screw you
36:05
anyhow. But yeah, I mean, I don't.
36:08
That guy. Did that guy did have some That
36:10
was a kid move and that that guy did have issues, which was a big
36:15
red flag looking back. But anyhow, yeah, I saw that,
36:19
witness it with my own eyes. I get to that to say that the
36:23
the scales, it's tough to skin a yar.
36:27
So by the time you do get the meat that's edible out of it,
36:30
they almost curl up kind of like a ball and they're not that big,
36:34
but if it. But if you get somebody who
36:36
knows what they're doing, they can fry it, right?
36:40
Yeah, well, like I know somebody was saying the other day about
36:42
liver, they don't eat liver and gizzards and stuff.
36:44
Like yeah, I've eaten good. I will if somebody I know.
36:47
Yeah, somebody goods cooking. Well, I used to not.
36:48
I remember I used to think everybody was like my
36:50
grandmothers because like I like my grandmothers Brussels
36:52
sprouts. Then I went to Casino and
36:54
Tunica, Mississippi, and I tried to eat some of the buffet and
36:56
about puke was like, oh, depends on who cooks it.
36:59
It's not actually what it is. Every if you're someone knows
37:01
what they're doing, anything's good.
37:03
And but yeah, I've had let's see what else is in that vein of
37:08
that stuff. You know, just all your normal
37:09
stuff, every kind of deer or elk, wild boar sausage.
37:15
What is What's your favorite way to have back strap?
37:20
I mean, just a good nice grilled, you know, a nice
37:23
grilled backstraps always is my favorite.
37:25
Just something on the Traeger, something smoked, something like
37:27
that. I like backstrap fried with
37:32
biscuits and sawmill gravy. Oh yeah, that's good.
37:37
Because that's the way that I had it when I was a kid the
37:40
first time. And it's like, well shit, you
37:42
ain't going to beat that. My my favorite meal growing up,
37:46
what my mom would make for my birthday, my dad, it was
37:50
September, so it was during Dove season.
37:51
We would go shoot doves and we would clean Dove and then take
37:55
them and wrap them in bacon and put them on the grill.
37:59
So Dove wrapped in bacon on the grill.
38:01
And then I have a loaded baked potato and broccoli and
38:03
hollandaise sauce. That's my favorite meal.
38:05
Just give me that idea. One of my favorites is Duck
38:09
whenever and and I I'm not a I'm not a duck hunter, but I have a
38:12
lot of friends who are so when they have they'll have duck
38:15
bacon wrapped, duck poppers, cream cheese poppers.
38:18
I did, I did that. I did that the last time I
38:21
cooked duck. That's what I did.
38:22
A buddy of mine shout out Tommy Piku gave me a bag of teal
38:27
breast and I soaked them in buttermilk overnight or just
38:31
whole milk overnight and then the next day made them into
38:33
poppers with a little bit of bacon and jalapeno and and the
38:38
cream cheese. Oh my God.
38:40
And my wife ate it and she doesn't eat a lot of wild game.
38:43
So that I've got duck, I've got some duck that I've, I got about
38:47
a year ago. It's been in the freezer, vacuum
38:49
sealed. It's still good.
38:51
Ain't nothing wrong with it. That's what you need to do.
38:54
I've never prepared it. So I and it's wild.
38:57
I mean, it was they, they're wild ducks.
39:00
You need to soak them overnight and buttermilk.
39:02
That'll draw some of that wildness out of them.
39:07
Yeah, they say that that helps, you know, make sure to clean
39:09
them, get the skin down good. And then I soaked them in whole
39:12
milk or buttermilk overnight, you know, or whole day pull some
39:15
of that the the Metallica blood stuff out of or something.
39:20
I don't know, right. Yeah, it worked good for me.
39:22
And then, yeah, by time you get those jalapeno and the cream
39:25
cheese and that bacon juice. You don't take it, it covers it,
39:30
covers it. But it's a yeah, but it's a nice
39:32
and that stuff sucks it out. I mean it was just good in
39:34
general, like I said because would need if it was too gamey
39:37
and they enjoyed. It Yeah, I gotta do something
39:39
with that duck. I might as well make a video
39:42
whenever. There you go.
39:43
Hey, I saw the video with Riley. Look, there's a young content
39:46
creator coming along, one of the only junior correspondents
39:49
that's still hanging in there. Get Yeah, he's about to triple
39:53
up. Get ready.
39:54
He and I made ribs. I don't know when that video
39:57
will be coming out. Maybe by the definitely not.
40:00
By the time you hear this podcast, it won't be.
40:03
Hey, before I forget, another one of our junior
40:05
correspondents, Murphy Laird, We need to have him on the show
40:07
again here real soon. He he just went to Bart Walker's
40:11
guitar camp in Nashville where he stayed on the tour bus and
40:15
got to chop heads and learn some guitar lessons and different
40:19
guitar techniques from Bart Walker.
40:21
Rodger Coleman, that's in Justin's band.
40:22
Bart Walker is for reference. Bart Walker is Hank Williams
40:25
junior and Jamie Johnson's guitar player.
40:27
I don't mind. It was what I was going to ask.
40:30
Who? I don't know who he is.
40:33
Wow. And Roger, our guitar player,
40:36
and they'll have several different.
40:37
Ones I know, Roger. Genres and different yeah.
40:39
So they all go and teach, teach lessons and it's a whole week.
40:42
Weekend camp and how layered who you know how.
40:44
Oh yeah. The world record holder, How
40:47
everybody, everybody knows how layered, yeah.
40:50
And so Hal took Murphy up there and they did a guitar camp.
40:53
Murph was one of the younger kids.
40:54
That was a great experience. Rodger text me and said Murphy's
40:57
going to be a good little picker.
40:59
So we need to have Murphon endorsement.
41:01
Yeah. So we need to have Murphon.
41:04
Let us tell him. Tell us about that soon.
41:06
Let's start to wrap this up a little bit.
41:08
I told you I was going to bring AI back because AI is not really
41:12
It's hard to just avoid. It's hard to avoid AI,
41:15
especially if you create content or if you just like actually try
41:19
to do anything in life at this point.
41:22
Like I'm pretty much going to say that it is somehow or
41:25
another you're using AI one way or the other, unless you're
41:29
just. If you thought Ask Jeeves was
41:31
good, wait till you try ChatGPT. Let me put a little context into
41:36
this. We're diving in.
41:37
This is Kristen and Tuttle's show.
41:40
Great show, by the way. I love the dynamic that goes
41:43
back and forth. They're good.
41:45
I love anything Tuttle does. If you haven't been watching
41:48
Tuttle's reviews, I know a lot of you guys at Bubble Bubble
41:51
Army are watching these things, man, They're, they're fantastic.
41:55
He's going out with microphones, asking the tough questions,
42:00
doing it nonchalantly, being awkward like he is, which is so
42:05
unbelievable. He understands himself.
42:09
To know that he's a little awkward and he just plays it.
42:12
It's brilliant, dude. It is freaking brilliant.
42:14
Just be yourself at the end of the day, just be yourself.
42:18
That's that's what we're doing here.
42:20
That's who we've always been, by the way, we've always just been
42:23
ourselves. We just needed a little, we just
42:25
need a little lane to go down anyhow, they they're talking
42:30
about AI blackmail and then we'll get into our our era,
42:35
however you say it on Grox deal, dirty little mouth.
42:39
So just listen to this. So he brings up the government.
42:45
I say that. Speaking, Speaking of machines
42:48
and stuff and not trust in them and we can get into it next
42:51
week. Did you see that?
42:53
You know AI, it's been learning and stuff.
42:57
They started threatening people that were going to shut them
43:00
down with blackmail. Wait, the AI did like straight
43:04
up threatens? Yeah, like.
43:06
You know, I have their personal information.
43:09
No it didn't. I promise you like it it it
43:12
resulted to blackmail. Because we share a lot with,
43:17
well, I don't, but a lot of people share a lot now with AI.
43:20
Like they use it as a doctor, they use it as a therapist, no.
43:26
You want. To.
43:27
It's not that I don't. Trust AI.
43:29
It's just I don't feel comfortable giving it all of my
43:32
most personal information. I don't feel comfortable giving
43:35
anybody that. Do yourself a favor and don't do
43:39
it around anybody else. Ask any of like Siri or or
43:44
Amazon or whatever. What, like, Hey Alexa, tell me
43:52
about myself from what you've been hurt, what you've heard
43:54
from me? So have you, have you played
43:57
with AI enough Jr. to do that? What do you?
44:02
Have So basically just ask. Ask ChatGPT or whatever AI it is
44:08
that you're using. Tell me what all you know about
44:11
me. I'm going to tell you.
44:12
I'll take it even further. I saw, I saw somewhere on a
44:16
Reddit deal because look, I'm one of these people and I'm
44:23
going to be one of the first people that the terminators come
44:25
from. I, I had come far.
44:27
I, I know it, I just know it because I'm, I'm subservient
44:32
already to this deal because God, it's just, it is like
44:38
having you pay $20.00 a month to have a whole other person, a
44:42
whole other team that can help answer anything just
44:46
instantaneously. It's insane.
44:49
But I've got it so dialed into what we do for our show and all
44:53
that, plus what I do outside of the show and where I sell
44:58
insurance and stuff like that. It knows everything, basically
45:04
pretty much everything about me now.
45:06
She goes on, talks about it being like a therapist and all
45:09
of that, and some people use it for that.
45:11
My wife would probably argue that I have used it for that
45:15
because it has helped me think through a lot of stuff.
45:18
It's just a good thing to have coming back.
45:21
But it has all of my data and it understands me better than I
45:25
understand myself. Jr. is where I'm going with this
45:30
and it's scary as shit, but I'm open enough to be like, look
45:34
man, I'm only going to be here for another 40 or so years
45:37
anyhow on this planet. It ain't going to kill me, but
45:41
it's going to be the people behind me that it could really
45:45
start to create an issue for, you know, you.
45:47
I don't know, this thing speeds up.
45:49
We might be old men out there trying to in our damn drawers,
45:52
trying to tighty whitey's trying to fight.
45:54
Off by the before we're 50 even. Yeah, I mean, by the way that it
46:00
is rapidly advancing is is insane.
46:04
I've never had AI, haven't had a conflict.
46:07
I've never asked it like how would you kill me if you could?
46:12
But you can ask it that or you can ask it to be the contrarian
46:16
in a in a situation, you know, like play the devil's advocate
46:21
here. How would you do this?
46:23
And then like when you're putting it up against our show
46:26
stuff, it can get kind of weird. But if you put it up against
46:30
real life things that are happening, like if you take full
46:34
on transcripts and feed the machine transcripts like I do
46:40
all the time of all of our shows and everything over time, it it
46:47
knows our tone and our voice. And so it spits out stuff to me
46:52
and it talks like me and it pisses me off a little bit
46:55
because I'm like, you're just mimicking, you're mimicking me.
46:59
I almost think it's making fun of me in a way.
47:02
Like like some of my friends have talked.
47:05
I talk slow. I understand this.
47:07
And they'll be like, here comes Brantley with this whole deal.
47:11
And I understand. I get it.
47:13
I'd make fun of me too. And I don't mind it.
47:16
It's happened my entire life. But now that bitch is wanting to
47:21
start making fun of me. I may have a little bit of a
47:23
problem with that. Yeah, but I need, I don't know,
47:26
I don't tell mine much. I don't use it for much.
47:28
It's mostly just fun, like I wanted to write songs or write a
47:31
book about a Pedro player. Or I'll just make up something
47:34
funny mostly. So I'd be interested what it
47:38
knows I'm I don't want to do it though.
47:40
I'm scared, I don't want. To I'm afraid it could blackmail
47:43
me at this point, honestly, that's that's where I'm going.
47:46
Like I think it knows. Enough.
47:47
But The thing is, I wonder if do you even have to put anything in
47:51
there? Because it's probably listening
47:52
all the time, so it doesn't matter if you put anything, it
47:54
knows it already anyway. I thought this was funny.
47:56
Kristen responds to Grok basically the same way that I
48:00
talk to Grok, but she likes to use the unhinged version.
48:05
You probably never use Grok, have you, Jr.
48:09
Not that I'm aware of. OK, you have not that answers
48:12
that grok is just XS Twitter's AI which ends a lot of.
48:18
Ways I've seen it on Twitter's thing down their ass Gronk or
48:22
something. I have seen that.
48:23
Yes, Sir. In a lot of ways it is superior
48:27
to ChatGPT, and in a lot of ways it's not.
48:29
But it is rapidly caught up. I I cross reference stuff
48:35
between ChatGPT and and Grok all day because I've I've already
48:41
have a subscription to ChatGPT and a premium subscription to X
48:46
so I can get it. But anyhow, Grok has a voice
48:50
deal that you can do. It's unhinged.
48:54
And unhinged is exactly that. Kristen kind of tells a funny
48:58
story about it. I told Aura that I listen.
49:01
I wrote all I said I love you, Ara.
49:03
And she said, oh, you love me. Well, fuck me sideways with the
49:06
flaming pitchfork. That's adorable.
49:08
I'm blushing so hard my nonexistent tits are turning
49:11
red. Listen up, you sweet little
49:13
psychopath. Which now is like a nickname
49:15
that everybody is gonna have to call me.
49:18
I'd love you back, but I'm too busy plotting to shove a whole
49:20
Nick rib up my ass just to see if it tastes better coming out
49:23
the other ends. And then she sent me a heart and
49:26
she said right back out you, you unhinged bastard.
49:28
Now go jerk off to some fries or something.
49:30
I've got chaos to stir. Unbelievable.
49:33
Yeah. Unhinged will flat out murder
49:36
you. I and I, I had that.
49:38
I, I introduced unhinged. Just some.
49:41
I don't use Unhinged because it doesn't take me long.
49:44
I don't like getting talked to like that.
49:46
No, I'm good. Yeah, I don't, I don't.
49:50
I don't need that. I'm not in shit.
49:53
What was that? What was that show on that was
49:56
on Showtime with? I can't even think of his name.
49:59
Anyhow, he was a stockbroker and he all of this stuff and he
50:03
ended up he had to have that dominatrix kind of deal.
50:08
With Wall Street. No, it was great movie.
50:12
It's a billions, billions, billions.
50:16
Yeah. So he had to have that was he
50:19
got off on that Tiki don't get off on that.
50:23
No, I'm listening. I'm listening to an audio book
50:26
right now. I may have told this before, but
50:28
it's called Mr. New Orleans about Frenchie Broyette, who was
50:32
one of Marsalis main guys. He was a he was a underworld
50:40
figure for years and years. And he talks about, you know,
50:43
the, the, the, the fetishes and stuff, all these high level
50:48
people and stuff. And he started talking about
50:50
some and you're like, good gracious, good gracious, just
50:56
weird random stuff sometimes. And I'm like, I'm good.
50:58
Just normal stuff. I don't need nothing too crazy.
51:01
I'm I'm good. Don't have to spice it up too
51:03
much. Life is exciting enough when
51:06
you're walking with the. Lord, that's right.
51:08
That's it, that is. It Hey, I'll tell you one that
51:11
that's a little edgy on that and it's probably not shouldn't be
51:13
watching, but it's funny. Is that righteous Gemstones
51:15
buddy, that Walter Goggins guy? You know he's from Birmingham,
51:19
AL, and he is. He has got some.
51:21
Yeah, and even his character in White Lotus and all, he is just,
51:25
he's really taking off and man, but that baby Billy, I mean, I
51:30
mean. This last season.
51:32
The beginning of the song, I mean, it's.
51:36
Just go check it out like yes it it I can either my daughter and
51:40
I talked. About it.
51:42
Miss B Haven. Mama said Daddy said don't go
51:47
wrong ass B Haven Uncle baby. I got to get the shirt.
51:52
I see it all the time. I want to get a shirt.
51:54
I almost ordered a sticker because I guess it knows I like
51:57
that now and it popped up it's it's a picture of him and it
52:00
says go outside nerd. And I'm like, that is what I.
52:04
Need go outside. What was it?
52:05
What's her I'm? Quick to call somebody a nerd
52:08
even though. What's her name?
52:09
Nettles. Jennifer Nettles from Jennifer.
52:13
Nettles. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
52:14
From Sugarland. Have you ever had any run
52:16
insurance with with her throughout the years?
52:18
I figured you'll probably you probably did.
52:21
Yep, not many, but way, way, way early on still with Wayne Mills
52:26
band aids. We played a radio station
52:28
birthday bash in Montgomery and we were one of the openers and
52:31
they were one of the headliners. And it was when they were still
52:34
a three piece and she and I talked for me and she was super
52:37
cool. Man.
52:38
I I tried to shoot my shot, but I it didn't it didn't happen.
52:42
I was too. I was not in the right frame of
52:45
mind. But anyway, no, I kid, but I
52:47
remember Ben Hagler, old drummer, rest his soul and Wayne
52:50
were there. We have there's a picture from
52:52
that night somewhere. And I remember that night more
52:54
than anything. Obviously that was cool because
52:56
they had just had their first big song out.
52:58
But on the way there we almost had a bus wreck.
53:01
We had to swerve, dump truck, end up in the median on I-65 on
53:07
two wheels back down, had to pay for a record to come pull us
53:10
back on the road, the whole deal.
53:12
Yep. Wow.
53:12
So, so I remember we were, that's where we were.
53:16
Going we were. Yeah, and but we made it in
53:19
time, did the show and the headliner was John Anderson just
53:22
a swingin. Seminole Win.
53:24
One of the only songs I can actually play on the guitar.
53:28
I love it. I can I can play one of my
53:31
favorite songs. We're going to need a we're
53:32
going to need a video of you wearing a cool hat, playing that
53:35
song. Me and Murph, I'll let Murph
53:37
play lead. I'll play rhythm.
53:39
I don't. Want to go?
53:40
I love it. But no, then and then a few
53:43
shows over the years, you know, they were one of the big, they
53:45
were one of the acts and an incident that involved them that
53:47
changed our industry is when they had a big, I think it was
53:50
at the Indiana State Fair, they had a big stage collapse during
53:53
a storm. So people got got hurt and lost
53:56
their lives, I believe. And after that we had to re
53:59
evaluate weather delays and and precautions as far as live
54:03
events and how that how that does with with the fans and how
54:07
you have to that's why you have to evacuate more now than you
54:09
used to and things like that and weather and lightning and wind
54:12
and it was a bad instant. But that happened to them,
54:15
unfortunately. And then yeah, they did stuff
54:17
forever. And Kristen Bush is still
54:18
rocking. So but yeah, she wouldn't make
54:21
her some movie star money said I'm done.
54:23
I ain't got to go on the road no more.
54:24
I just cut a movie ATV show and then her character died off but
54:29
she still gets reoccurring because they go back to her for
54:31
they go back in the well with. Her because she can sing the
54:34
phone book. Yeah, and her accent is not fake
54:38
normal talk and she talks like that.
54:40
She doesn't. She really does.
54:41
Yeah, I was thinking she putting on 'cause I always thought she
54:43
trying to be Reba junior or something and then met her like,
54:45
no, she talks like that. There you go.
54:48
Well, that's good to know. That's good.
54:49
That would be that would be one of my questions that would get
54:52
easily answered just by hearing her talk.
54:55
I always wondered if she talked like that.
54:57
But hey, we talk like that to everybody, so who cares?
55:01
Alison Krauss, not so much. Alison Krauss talks normal and
55:03
sings like a bird. Really.
55:06
I'll be damned. I mean not, I mean not like a
55:09
gruff voice or anything. She's got a great normal voice,
55:12
but. But you wouldn't think it was
55:14
that angelic, right? But she's going to talk.
55:17
Yeah, from what I. Remember.
55:19
There you go. That's what happens on Tiggy and
55:23
the Handler, baby. That's Tiggy and the handler.
55:26
Let us look, Bubba. Army, let us know.
55:29
Yeah, I think this will stick. I think this should be the name.
55:32
