0:19
getting there. We're getting close to 100,
0:21
Blasey. And they, they always say like
0:24
whenever you get to 100, that's when you can officially call
0:27
yourself a podcaster with emergency pods and everything
0:31
like that. I think we're over 100.
0:33
But officially with the Bubba shows and with Ire, this would
0:38
be This will be #91 of the Tigs Bits podcast.
0:43
So yes. So this is the 90th show that we
0:46
have done, yes and. It's wild, man.
0:50
It's, it is wild. It's a Catalina wine.
0:52
What the Hell's? Happening back there.
0:54
Yeah, there. So it's funny, it's a pretty
0:56
busy night tonight. So obviously we have prop
0:59
studios in here in the corner, our standing reservation here
1:04
and out here in the main area tonight.
1:07
It's like the I should know what it is.
1:09
It's so the mayor's here, everybody's here, the Freeport
1:12
merchants are here. The Mayor Nate's on the mic
1:14
right now. You see Nate behind me?
1:16
I can barely see him. Yeah, it's so small on my
1:19
computer. I'll be able to see.
1:20
Him whenever right through there.
1:22
I'm, I'm blowing it up at him, right?
1:24
Oh, I see him. Yeah, yeah.
1:25
Yeah, he's giving a speech right now.
1:27
I should have given a mic out there to see what he's going to
1:29
talk about. There may be something could go
1:32
haywire, you know, Maybe there's an Alex Stein out.
1:35
In the audience. That that just kind of comes in
1:39
and just ruins this whole event. He's funny.
1:42
He cracks me up. We were talking before, He said,
1:44
yeah, I told this, you know, this is so I think it's a
1:46
Freeport merchants, you know, it's kind of through the Chamber
1:50
of Commerce type deal. He said.
1:52
They asked me to join. I joined.
1:54
He said there's only two things. He said I'll pay dues or
1:56
whatever. Just don't ask me to like get
1:58
involved to have to actually have to do stuff.
2:00
I'm very busy. And then please just don't ask
2:02
me for money. He said, Yep, about a month
2:04
later, he said they called me asking me for money and they
2:06
called asking me to host this event here and and be involved.
2:10
He said, so here I am. So you be be careful what you
2:14
ask people not to do because that's probably exactly what
2:16
they're going to do, right? Yeah, Yeah, that's exactly
2:18
right. That's exactly right.
2:20
But look, we got a lot. Of people in the room already,
2:23
man, Stacy G says. Oh my God.
2:25
No hat. It's tonight.
2:28
We've flipped rolls. I'm Hatton and he's not.
2:30
Yeah, yeah. Because we had the Catalina wine
2:32
mixer here behind me and then outside on the patio, we've got
2:35
Steve doing karaoke. We've got three events going on
2:39
once tonight blocks. It's like 3 different.
2:41
It's like those those country bars where you got karaoke, you
2:44
got line dancing and then you got like, you know, the hip hop
2:47
room or whatever. Rocket or whatever, that is
2:51
amazing. So I decided to wear a college
2:54
shirt tonight. Go hatless.
2:56
I mean, the mayor of Freeport's here, you know what I mean?
2:58
Like, weird. That's big deal with yes, man,
3:01
that's good royalty. In those.
3:03
Dark, Straight. Royalties.
3:04
Look, we've got royalty. We've got, we've got Iggy in the
3:08
house. We got to say hi to Iggy and
3:10
Captain Creamsicle and his lovely, lovely wife.
3:14
I think I just saw her somewhere in here too.
3:17
We've got, yes, the captain's wife.
3:19
There she is. That's awesome.
3:22
We got mortar in the house is all hell.
3:24
Yeah, Bubba Army all over. He says it's this is bold of us
3:29
to go live 15 minutes before the Stanley Cup.
3:32
Agree, agree. But look, we're just going to be
3:35
hanging out for an hour. So you may miss the first
3:37
period. It's the last two that matter
3:39
anyhow. Just turn.
3:40
It on turn it down you. Put it to the side.
3:44
Hell, there's a good chance. I'm glad that you reminded me.
3:47
I may be putting a little window just.
3:49
Right. Here in front of me, like I've
3:50
been known to do, to watch a little sporting event while we
3:54
do this occasionally. Well, see, I'm a, I'm a
3:58
Lightning fan and I kind of lose interest when they get out,
4:00
unfortunately. I'm glad Florida's still in
4:02
there. Like honestly, like I was kind
4:04
of angry about it for a while, but they're, they're kicking
4:07
butt, man. They're going, you know they do.
4:08
They're doing their thing. I mean, I'll give them props.
4:11
State of Florida, I'm not a. You'll give them.
4:12
Props at props. As and and look a lovely another
4:17
lovely night there at props and want to say thanks everybody.
4:21
Y'all hit that like button, share it, spread it around on
4:25
social media. Let's get some people in this
4:27
room tonight. We are going to have we're going
4:29
to have a fun show, aren't we Blasi?
4:32
This is going to be fun tonight. Yeah, it's going to be like
4:35
almost like an Eric Andre style. We don't even know what's coming
4:37
really next other than. Hope that we keep it a little
4:40
bit a little more between the lines than an Eric Andre show,
4:45
but well. I don't know what to expect from
4:47
Russ when he comes in here. He didn't know what to expect
4:48
from us. So this is a 0 quite the diverse
4:51
guest book. Yeah.
4:54
Yeah, this is quite this. We're going to start off here
4:57
shortly with my son, young Riley Miller Salter, the another,
5:05
another junior correspondent. That is correct.
5:07
He's going to give us last year we went on a on an epic journey
5:12
to Omaha and we'll show a little video of that, bring him on,
5:16
kind of talk about it, introduce him to you guys.
5:19
He's wanting to be a part of it. You know, he's seen Murph do
5:22
this, number one, and he knows that I'm sitting on a hill video
5:29
with the boys off earth and hail them chopping it all up, just
5:34
talking about stuff, which I haven't.
5:36
We haven't put that out yet. That is coming.
5:39
I wanted to get Riley's take on some of those things that they
5:42
talked about tonight. So that's it, yeah, Yeah.
5:46
So it's hear from Riley. Been waiting.
5:47
Riley been sitting. I know, man, I know.
5:49
He's out there marinating, you know, so.
5:52
Hell of a cameraman, dude. He is.
5:55
He's been behind the lens on several things that have gone
5:58
out. He's been behind the camera
5:59
doing shooting those shots. But yeah, looking forward to
6:03
that. But I kind of thought maybe here
6:05
at the top of the hour, we we tease this a little bit on our
6:10
social media, especially on in Twitter.
6:12
But dude, this whole Nathan's hot dog fiasco that is
6:17
happening. I wanted to talk about that real
6:19
quick. Joey Chestnut being banned from
6:24
the MLE. Unbelievable.
6:26
I mean. How do you ban Joey Chestnut?
6:30
Like, I mean, honestly, like the whole the whole problem the last
6:34
several years by not having the two best eaters on the stage
6:38
every year, it really became, you know, the whole Nathan's
6:42
thing kind of became just like a showcase for him to go out there
6:45
and showcase his talent. Like watching Babe Ruth back in
6:47
the day just hit home runs or something, You know what I mean?
6:49
It was like, dude, where's the competition at?
6:52
So you know, all that breakdown. Congratulations to whoever put
6:57
this together on Netflix. You got the two best in the
6:59
world finally ready to face off again.
7:01
Like let's make it happen, dude. It's like boxing, like you know
7:04
where you go years and years and years with the two, the two best
7:06
fighters just never, ever being able to perform.
7:09
You got three different divisions, 3 different belts, 3
7:12
different organizations. Like, no, I'm glad it's
7:15
happened. You know what an MLE is?
7:17
An they're idiots for running him off.
7:20
Over the well, I took a stance. I agree, I took a stance.
7:23
I've done a total 180 on it. My stance was like, what?
7:27
What the hell is up with this? You know what a disgrace was on.
7:31
I was on Nathan's side and then you know, I'm like, I get it.
7:38
I get it because he's going to a rival, some vegetarian or
7:43
whatever plant based Wiener. I don't know.
7:46
Whatever. And don't worry, Captain
7:48
Creamsicle, that's the only Wiener discussions you're
7:51
getting tonight. OK, OK.
7:52
Wait, is it a plant based Wiener?
7:54
I believe it is. It's something like that, yes,
7:57
yes. So I mean it's yes.
7:58
So now like that. I mean, it's I.
8:01
Was on Nathan side. But now I that's what that's
8:04
what I'm saying I owed or I was on.
8:06
I said I'm on Nathan side. I was on Joey Chestnut side, he
8:09
is on this whole plant based Wiener deal whatever I get.
8:13
It I want to see them eating processed pork, man, like you
8:15
know what I mean? That's it, High.
8:16
Level though, so. Now I don't know what the
8:18
Netflix I would think the Netflix is going to be legit
8:21
with, but I. Thought you were said that
8:23
Netflix was going to be that. No, no, no, no, this.
8:25
I'm talking about using Nathan's.
8:27
He is so Joey Chestnut. Let me.
8:30
Back up for a second Joey chest. I'm missing something here?
8:33
Yeah, Joey Chestnut is sponsored by, I don't know the company,
8:36
I'm not looking it up by by a company that's like a plant
8:39
based Wiener company. He got it like a $9 million.
8:43
Deal. I don't blame him.
8:44
I don't think plant based wieners all day you're.
8:46
Damn right. Yes, yes.
8:48
And I don't know what his deal was or whatever, but they're a
8:52
direct competitor to Nathan's. So Nathan's are the people who
8:57
started this deal. It's their deal to begin with.
9:01
So they're like, Nah, dude, you're with a competitor, you're
9:05
not competing in our game. So knowing but now knowing what
9:10
had happened, what had happened was, you know that Netflix, this
9:15
whole deal had already been been those wheels were in motion with
9:18
Netflix that got when the final ends of that stuff and then bam,
9:23
here you go, you're not coming. Joey Chestnut day or two later,
9:27
here we are. We're going to do this deal on
9:29
Netflix like it didn't just. Pop up.
9:32
Yeah, this was all like all this was OK.
9:35
So I didn't realize that second level of the plant based Weiner.
9:39
You know what I mean? That's the whole problem.
9:41
I did not know that that was even in play.
9:42
I just thought it was like this you got July 4th Nathan's MLE,
9:47
then you got this Netflix special in September.
9:49
I'm like, why do they? What do they have to do with
9:50
each other? These are just two different
9:52
events. Like, why can't these guys
9:53
showcase their talents in two different places at two
9:55
different times? Right.
9:57
But now we got a plant based Wiener in the middle of this
10:00
deal. Ah, OK.
10:02
I see what's happening now. Yeah, man, that's, yeah, that's
10:06
interesting, you know. Who's going to be there?
10:08
69 says that Joey Chestnut pulled an an honor.
10:12
He. Really good.
10:14
Show on some channel thing that I've seen I've just started.
10:18
Following the other day it it popped up I.
10:19
Haven't watched it yet. I will watch it.
10:21
I have no issues with Anna, so you know, we're not going to
10:24
dive around on it. Curious to see what she's up to,
10:27
what she has to say. But but yeah, dude, this whole
10:30
Joey Chestnut thing at at the end of the day, Blasi, I can't
10:35
even watch the damn event. It is so disgusting to me.
10:39
I just, it's just gross watching.
10:43
Yeah. Gross, dude.
10:46
It's. Terrible.
10:48
It's terrible. It is America.
10:50
It is what's wrong with America and a lot of ways.
10:53
How more people not died from eating these things, You know
10:56
what I mean? Like everybody tells you to be
10:57
careful chewing food, do all this and they're eating like
11:00
seventy of these things in what, 10 minutes?
11:03
Like how does somebody, you would think you would see a lot
11:05
of Heimlich maneuvers going on in these events?
11:07
You'd think they'd be if there were 1010 eaters, 3 people would
11:10
have to get a Heimlich maneuver. What do you think?
11:14
You would think, dude, that's hilarious.
11:17
Well, we got one joking. You know, joking.
11:20
Install. One joking install one.
11:21
Let's go get him. Let's go get him.
11:23
They need to have two or three paramedics around just, I mean,
11:27
there's a lot that could happen. What's so unbelievable is that
11:30
most of these guys are skinny. And if you super skinny and I
11:34
like, like Joey Chestnut. Have you ever watched, there was
11:37
some documentary, was it on ESPN, like a 30 for 30 or
11:41
something with Joey Chestnut? Yeah.
11:44
I mean, I watch it was awesome. The dude really trains and
11:47
stuff. But when you're putting in that
11:48
many calories in a day and then you, I mean, it doesn't seem
11:54
like a fun life, honestly. Here's some records.
11:57
Here's some Joey Chestnut record 182 chicken wings in 30 minutes.
12:04
That's. Unbelievable.
12:06
That is unbelievable. That's unbelievable like that A.
12:09
182 I mean, I can eat a dozen and I'm stuffed.
12:15
Oh my God. Can you imagine 182 55 glazed
12:21
doughnuts in eight minutes? Wow, so now the doughnut thing.
12:25
I could I get that more because I can hammer out some doughnuts.
12:28
I don't. Think I could.
12:28
They kind of melt. They're kind of, they're like
12:31
that good brisket in Texas that I'm rave.
12:34
About making melt in your mouth, man, they just turns into
12:37
nothing I could go that's right I could I could hang in there I
12:39
could probably 27 in that but in. 8 minutes.
12:42
That's crazy. It is crazy, but that's more
12:44
believable than 180. Two, here's the wildest feet.
12:48
And you wouldn't I want to be around this cat after this for a
12:52
fact. Another eight minute feat A141
12:57
hard boiled. Eggs Wow, wow, man dude, I mean
13:06
that's that's wild. I could eat my weight in in
13:10
deviled eggs. You know what I mean?
13:11
Like so if we. Could just do a deviled egg.
13:13
Competition. For some reason those go down
13:15
differently. They do.
13:17
Like I could eat a whole platter of deviled eggs.
13:19
Like I will eat a whole platter of deviled eggs if somebody
13:21
makes them like and hands them to me as a gift and say this is
13:24
your, this is yours. I'll sit there.
13:25
It's a problem. It is a.
13:26
Problem. They're a problem for me.
13:29
I just graze around during all these holidays, Thanksgiving,
13:32
those big platters. I'll grab one right at the early
13:34
gate and then I'll go by, get two of my plate.
13:37
Then I'll walk in here like I'm getting a sweet tea refilled.
13:39
Everybody's laughing and giggling and I'm eating two or
13:40
three standing in there and put two or three on my plate, walk
13:43
back down and sit down. Like yeah, I I'll end up beating
13:45
6810 of those things. Easily, you know for sure.
13:49
Well, the we had those at, at the at that beach bar that we
13:53
went to that brewery in Orange B or in Gulf Shores.
13:58
When we went with the handler, the handler, by the way,
14:00
everybody who knows with the handler, he may come in in 15
14:05
minutes. He may come in in five seconds.
14:07
We may not see him tonight. He is on the road traveling.
14:10
They have some gigs I think in Niagara Falls and stuff this
14:13
weekend. So I doubt we see the handler
14:16
tonight, but the handler went at that time that we met about a
14:19
year ago I believe. They had those deviled eggs and
14:25
bacon and they drizzled them with like Maple syrup.
14:29
I. Forgot about that.
14:30
And they were. Just oh God.
14:32
They were. So those were divine.
14:33
Those were divine. Nude at that.
14:36
Underrated, underrated appetite. Underrated appetizer in my
14:42
opinion. He said Bubba Fan could crush
14:45
like 30 deviled eggs is what he says.
14:48
Yeah, he could eat 6 before the tray.
14:51
It barely even sits down. I'm the same way, I mean, and I
14:55
think it's underrated. It's definitely underrated
14:58
amongst my friend group here in Baton Rouge.
15:00
And like, they never show up. I never see deviled eggs at any
15:05
of these events that we do. I guess I'm going to have to be
15:08
the one who starts doing it. But the problem If I do that,
15:10
then I'm going to eat all of my damn deviled eggs.
15:13
I won't. I'm greedy.
15:14
I'm not going to save. I'm going to have to make like
15:17
eighty of those. Dude, I could eat a dozen.
15:20
There's certain things, it's just crazy.
15:22
There's certain things you can eat more of, you know?
15:24
I mean, it's just like crawfish. Like I felt like I could eat, I
15:26
could eat my weight and crawfish, I could go all like,
15:28
I'd like to actually do a crawfish contest of eating.
15:30
Like I could just fill up a whole end of the table.
15:32
Like, just I could make my face just disappear with a pile of
15:36
crawfish shells, you know? I mean, that chicken pot pie.
15:39
For whatever reason, I make homemade chicken pot pie.
15:40
I was like, I could eat three of those, like giant ones.
15:43
Oh man, just keep. Going.
15:44
There's some things I can just keep going and it becomes
15:46
dangerous because I can't stop eating it.
15:48
Doughnut deviled eggs. That's the problem.
15:51
Yeah, I got a bed of the day. There's a handful of things
15:53
where I can really go. Chicken wings is not one of them
15:56
for me, man, I can eat like it is 8 chicken wings.
15:58
I'm kind of good. I'm just kind of over.
16:00
Chicken wings I couldn't eat. I couldn't eat 100A.
16:03
Dozen. It's like really getting down
16:04
for me, you know what I mean? I'm just not a big chicken wing
16:06
guy. Captain Creamsicle says that he
16:09
wants a Tigsbit shirt. Well, funny you mentioned that.
16:12
And thanks for doing it. Go to tigsbits.com right now.

17:00
I mean, to me, it's old now. Some people like a 115
17:03
Richardson and there's a couple other brands that are close, but
17:06
that Richardson 112 just I mean, it just sits in there like a
17:09
grown man, you know, but. Unfortunately, some kind of
17:12
inside baseball here, they don't what we use.
17:17
Our printer doesn't have that. We'll have to get those, ship
17:20
them out Bubba style and. I'm just going to order a batch
17:22
of those. I'll go ahead and tell you right
17:23
now I'm going to order at least 100 of those and we're going to
17:25
start giving some of those away on here and we'll have a few for
17:29
sale too. But I just want to get them.
17:31
I just want to get my hands on them.
17:32
So I'm going to order 100. Of those, I'm going.

What I'm confused on what's up with that astronaut shirt?
19:11
So couple of things here. All right, Full disclosure.
19:15
I've I've I've I've actually zoomed in on it, taking
19:18
screenshots and then just I sat there for 30 minutes one day
19:21
going all over it trying to like, what am I?
19:24
Just talk to me. ChatGPT.
19:28
Is that what that is? That's all I got.
19:31
I mean, that's what it is, yes. I gave ChatGPT this thing.
19:35
I don't know. I just decided one night that I
19:37
wanted this design. I don't know what part.
19:40
And then the next thing you know, I went, Oh my God, this is
19:42
amazing. I should put this on a shirt.
19:45
So I did. I wanted the shirt for myself
19:49
and and so oh, hell yeah. I've worn it on the show a few
19:52
times. I wear it all the time.
19:54
I love the shirt, I'll point it out next.
19:57
I'll be wearing it again. It's just this astronaut that's
19:59
just like a. Well, that's it has that on the
20:02
front, on the back, on the back at the top.
20:04
Like it says Tigs Bits. Oh, does it really?
20:07
It says it on the back, yes, yes.
20:10
It may be a little bigger than that, but yeah, I haven't got
20:13
the sample of the Tigs bit shirt yet.
20:15
But yeah, Dave, we're just kind of just kind of doing all kinds
20:18
of stuff and and of course, you know, we don't want to reveal
20:21
the masterpiece that is being worked on for the ladies.
20:25
Yeah. The ladies tank.
20:27
Oh. That is going to be a
20:28
masterpiece. That's when we're going to
20:30
become a merchandise company. That's.
20:32
Right podcast will be secondary to our merchandise line when
20:36
that when that happens like that's going to be a game
20:38
changer. I, I, I, you know, I.
20:41
Mean it's so fun. That's that's that's that's
20:43
where it's at. I mean we can have it is real
20:45
quick. The merchandise is where
20:47
everything changes like the Hodgetwins, you know they I mean
20:50
it's too hot. Don't listen to Alex Stein.
20:52
It's either subscriptions they. Won't they won't swag?
20:55
If you get merchandise rolling like that's where you really
20:59
make it. And we, I think we're going to
21:00
become a bigger merchandise brand, as big a merchandise
21:04
brand, if not bigger than the podcast at some point because we
21:07
got so many cool ideas on this merchandise.
21:09
We really are. We really do this original
21:13
stuff, this OG stuff. I mean, by the time we sign it,
21:17
probably worth millions each shirt easily, easily.
21:24
But yeah, with an original OG shirt that's in there now.
21:28
Free autographs for everybody like.
21:30
I got so deep in it. I got so deep in it.
21:32
Last night, I sent blasey screenshots of a damn coffee.
21:36
We're looking. We're talking to a coffee.
21:38
Some coffee people. OK.
21:40
I don't even drink coffee, but I know everybody else does.
21:43
Yes. I mean, I drink.
21:45
My wife does. My wife drinks coffee.
21:47

21:54
I mean the. Best part of your coffee?
21:56
Takes bits in your cup. Yeah, so we're working with
21:59
some. We'll see if it ends up being
22:00
good. If it's no good, we're going to
22:03
be that. We're going to do this whole
22:04
thing like Shaq, if it's not any good, you're not getting it.
22:07
We're going to support it. All right, So look, tell your
22:11

22:22
We're let's play this little video.
22:24
So I'm going to tee this up first and I'm going to go get
22:27
Riley and bring him in everybody.
22:29
This is going to be my son. It will be his debut on Tigs
22:33
bits. He is fired up, but he is he's
22:35
definitely, definitely a pro with with this stuff.
22:39
He really is. I think he's going to end up
22:41
being better than me at all of this, Joe Stanton says he loves
22:45
that he found this pod. We're Joe.
22:47
We love that you found this pod. I.
22:48
Just had to throw that up there. Thank you for.
22:50
Throw that up there and Bubba fan says we need a Merch Creek.
22:53
Yes. I think y'all may be about to
22:55
meet the Merch Creek though. So yeah, I think you we we'll
23:01
call him something else. But look, we went on an epic
23:04
journey last summer and the reason I'm bringing it up now
23:09
and playing this tonight is the College World Series starts
23:13
tomorrow, starts Friday. So unreal. 8 teams will see I
23:18
it's going to be a a great College World Series.
23:21
We're going to kind of get into that discussion here in a second
23:23
briefly. We're not going to talk about it
23:25
forever, but last year we had just a crazy run.
23:31
LSU, my Tigers, great run, great team.
23:34
They had Tommy Tanks, they had Paul Skeins, they had Dylan
23:38
freaking Cruz amongst others. But those those three, that's
23:42
all you need to know all right, especially with Paul Skeins and
23:45
Dylan freaking Cruz. They had a hell of a year.
23:47
They were the best team and, and and but it got interesting and
23:51
they played three games and they played Florida in the
23:53
championship. So night one, we are in Baton
23:57
Rouge, LA. Game one, LSU plays Florida in a
24:00
classic, a classic, classic battle.
24:05
LSU ends up winning late, they win the game.
24:08
When this happened, my son Riley, he had a soccer game we
24:12
got to get. Joe's a Gator fan.
24:13
It's OK. It's OK.
24:15
It's OK. We'll, we'll move.
24:17
Forward and kind of go Gators we'll talk about that in a
24:20
second but yeah but so we we leave Baton Rouge he Riley had a
24:27
a hockey he had a soccer game that night in an indoor
24:30
basically play he's in an indoor hockey or deal that's loaded
24:35
down with field turf. So he had he had a game and we
24:39
left Baton Rouge, LA, 14 hour drive to Omaha, NE.
24:47
And look, Big Russ is already here.
24:49
So we're going to we're going to save that.
24:50
That's it. I'm going to come back.
24:52
Big Russ does what the hell he wants to do.
24:55
Riley, I hope you're watching. We'll we'll get to you in a
24:59
minute. Without any further ado, well

25:58

26:01
Blasi. Tomorrow you will hear more
26:05
about Big Russ. We're not going to show his
26:07
video tonight. You'll see it yes, that's right.
26:10
That's right. Trouble bringing in Big Russ.
26:12
Nobody knows who the hell Big Russ is so actually Big Russ,
26:17
I'm going to bring you back here in a second Just chill out.
26:20
I'm going. To do this thing go get his son
26:24
Omaha thing let his son do a little piece and.
26:26
Then Omaha. Love Omaha?
26:29
Yeah, look at Big Russ. I love this dude.
26:31
Yeah, he's going to be perfect. So.
26:34
So yeah. So we go to Omaha, Omaha, NE.
26:37
We leave on a Saturday night, I believe.
26:39
Yes, it was on a Saturday night. Riley has a hot soccer game at
26:43
8:00. We finish that soccer game and
26:46
we drive straight to Omaha, NE. We get there at 11:00 AM.
26:51
LSU and Florida play game two at like noon or one.
26:57
So yeah, I think it was at one. So Needless to say, not a lot of
27:01
sleep. We went straight from Baton
27:03
Rouge and and then the rest is history.
27:06
Watch this video and we'll be back.
27:08
You and Russ talk for a second while I'm getting Riley and I
27:11
set up if it comes back to just. You I'm I'll make a couple
27:15
adjustments with him initial. Tigs and DVT are en route to.
27:22
Omaha baby, This was last year. Yeah, I can hear that.
28:07
You. Want me to move up?
28:25
I can move up. That was the video, wasn't it?
28:53
Yep, I guess Brantley still go. Is Brantley coming back in here
28:59
with us? Is he coming back in?
29:01
Where is he? Where is he?
29:03
All right, Big hey, Big Russ. That was last year.
29:05
That was last year. They went to Omaha when when LSU
29:08
was out there, they went out there and went to the game.
29:10
His son went with him and they went on this whole journey out
29:12
there, watch the game, then came back through and then actually
29:16
ended up stopping at some BBQ restaurants and stuff.
29:19
Like, Oh yeah. I was just this whole full, full
29:22
adventure that they that they put on.
29:23
So that's, that's exactly what he's setting up here, right here
29:27
for his son who's going to come in.
29:28
He's never, his son's never been on the show.
29:30
We've got a couple of junior field correspondents.
29:33
Nice. You know how?
29:34
No. I know how.
29:36
Oh yeah, How son Murphy has been on our show a few times.
29:39
He's been our junior field correspondent.
29:41
So he's been the first one that's actually been on the
29:44
show. My son's gone.
29:45
Like got some camera work from four set of Justin Moore concert
29:49
done. A couple, they together cut
29:52
something that hadn't been released yet, but Riley has not
29:55
been on here, even though he's done some camera work as well.
29:57
And so this is going to be Riley's debut right here, and
30:01
here he is. Without, there he is.
30:03
Without any further ado, number one, can you hear us?
30:07
You sound like you're in the distance.
30:11
I'm going to turn that thing on. The power buttons are really
30:14
awesome thing these days, you know.
30:17
You're right. See, you're exactly right.
30:20
Now you. Sound good?
30:22
Now you sound good. Do I sound good?
30:23
You sound great, you sound great, y'all both sound good
30:26
now. Leave it to his daddy, rode
30:29
Mike. So yeah, wireless in here
30:32
tonight, baby. Wireless.
30:33
So ladies and gentlemen, Riley Salter, this is my son.
30:39
This is this is my main man and I I thought I wanted to kind of
30:44
talk and and ask a few questions to Riley and get his thoughts.
30:49
What a video number one, right? I mean, how fun?
30:52
How fun was that on the scale? Of.
30:56
Like your top trips riles that we've done and we've done some
30:59
pretty cool stuff. We've done some cool stuff here
31:01
lately. Where does that one rank?
31:03
And it's OK if it isn't number one it.
31:05
Is my second favorite trip because I actually went to go
31:10
see Messi with one of my good friends named Gael and I really
31:15
can't. That was an airhead, right?
31:17
Yes, Yep. Cool.
31:20
It was awesome. Dude, that's super cool.
31:23
That's super cool. Yeah, that's, I mean, that's how
31:25
you put Messi right there on that same level.
31:28
Like, I get it. You talking about the, you know,
31:30
the greatest football soccer player maybe ever, you know what
31:34
I mean? Like right there in that
31:35
conversation with two or three people.
31:37
So that's super cool. Let me let me ask you this
31:40
O'Reilly on that trip. What was the coolest part of
31:42
that trip? I mean, obviously you're going
31:44
to the game and all that other stuff, but like what?
31:45
What do you was the coolest part of that trip?
31:49
So actually me and my dad went to go to the Omaha Zoo and it
31:55
was a a very good experience there was.
31:59
There was an animals. I mean, it's as it as it gets.
32:03
Honestly. There was a bunch of animals
32:05
everywhere. It was just, it was crazy.
32:08
What was the coolest part of the zoo?
32:09
I mean, let me let's let's drill down into that because I love a
32:12
good yeah. Drill on in.
32:14
I love a good. Inside there, there was a little
32:19
place you could go inside and they had bones of all sorts of
32:24
animals. Oh wow.
32:25
And they even in the middle, they had a place with I think it
32:31
was like. With the they did have snakes,
32:37
yeah where it was like the desert and the dry heat and then
32:41
yeah that was in that Dome deal. That was in that Dome deal yeah
32:45
yeah wow yeah that place. What about the thing I was most
32:50
proud of Riley for on that day whenever we went to the zoo was
32:54
they have like a gondola at the in that what you call that thing
32:57
that goes like over a / a mountain or goes over a big
33:01
ravine or whatever. He, yeah, he, he he's not the
33:06
fondest in the world of heights. So he jumped on that sucker and
33:12
we went over. I'm not going to lie, I have no
33:14
pictures of that or no video. The phone was in my pocket.
33:17
I was freaking out the whole time.
33:19
I was wearing like I was, I felt my shoes were going to fall off
33:24
and he was wearing Crocs. I was like, we can't lose his
33:27
shoes. Didn't have a backup pair.
33:30
Oh, just, you know, just kind of like, were you liking?
33:33
A chairlift like a chair like a. Chairlift.
33:35
That's it. Not a gondola chairlift.
33:38
Chairlift like a ski resort. Correct.
33:41
Exactly. Exactly.
33:42
Pull down the bar. These days when we go skiing,
33:44
I'm still a fan of the bar, you know, just in case, you know
33:46
what I mean. They don't want to pull the bar
33:47
down. I'm like, guys, I want to get
33:49
the top of the mountain to ski again too, but let's just pull
33:51
that bar down. Let's just all be cool here.
33:54
That's all it had. It had the bar.
33:56
I mean, at least it had the bar, but it he didn't do he did fine.
34:02
I, on the other hand, played it cool, but I was kind of like
34:05
freaking out inside. We get to the other end.
34:08
You could get off, but neither one of us.
34:10
I was fine to get off, go walk four damn miles to go to the
34:13
other side of the park, but but he didn't.
34:16
I, I figured he was going to. He didn't.
34:19
So I was kind of jacked about that.
34:21
But yeah, that was fun. Dude, that zoo.
34:24
That zoo is awesome. It is huge.
34:26
I love. I love a good zoo.
34:27
That's why I always look in Tampa.
34:29
I love to go. Busch Gardens versus going.
34:31
Oh, that's one. Of the best there is.
34:33
It's like a zoo blended with a theme park, dude.
34:35
There's nothing else like it on Earth, in my opinion.
34:37
I think it's and it's shaded and it's fun.
34:39
You got great roller coasters. Hey, then you got all these
34:41
unbelievable animals that you can go experience this whole zoo
34:44
side of stuff. It's the best of both worlds.
34:47
Yeah, so. I love a great zoo.
34:50
Nothing. Might be.
34:52
My favorite part I love. Big Russ, Big Russ looks like he
34:56
can do the morning Zoo is what Big Russ looks like he's ready
35:01
for, Correct. I knew I was.
35:07
I knew I was. Well, Riley, I got a couple.
35:11
That's exactly. That's exactly right.
35:14
What was? So what was there any surprises
35:17
or anything that you had in Omaha?
35:19
Like what surprised you? You'd never been to Nebraska,
35:23
Iowa or any really anywhere up in the Midwest?
35:28
Anything that surprised you? Well, it surprised me really how
35:37
hot it was. It's hot.
35:39
It's. Hot.
35:41
It was hot, but I mean, it was kind of.
35:43
But you know, what surprised me was how windy it was for that
35:48
first game when LSU, when LSU and Florida played, that first
35:54
game was like that wind was blowing 3540 miles an hour.
36:00
I mean, literally possibly more and gusting maybe to 50.
36:07
And one of the play, one of the Florida players hit what was
36:11
just a routine pop up to like just a little bit past third
36:16
base. All right, You know, typically
36:19
he popped it up. I turn around to talk to whoever
36:23
I was hanging around and I just saw his routine.
36:27
That ball carried and ended up being a home run because of the
36:31
wind that that 50 mile an hour wind will push a baseball.
36:36
Unbelievable. But what was great, I mean,
36:39
Florida won like what, 23 to seven or something, like some
36:44
crazy like whatever. But what was nuts is there
36:48
weren't that many home runs that day.
36:50
Like, you would think that they would just be lasting.
36:55
Yeah, it would, but nobody could get it up.
36:57
It was crazy. It was a.
37:00
No backspin. No backspin.
37:02
But yeah, man, that was that was one of the things that surprised
37:06
me was just the wind. I've never seen a baseball game
37:09
at any level in that kind of wind.
37:12
Before it was. Yeah, it was pretty.
37:15
It was pretty crazy. Did you, did you meet anyone
37:18
interesting or make any new friends or anything while you're
37:22
there? We weren't there long.
37:25

We were in Iowa at the Camp Grant where we stayed at that
37:54
camp where that picture was in the video.
37:57
Yes. Yeah.
37:58
It was some campground in Iowa. I have no idea the name of the
38:01
town, but it was just right across the river.
38:05
I can't remember the river either, to be honest with you.
38:08
Who cares? I didn't do any research.
38:10
Yeah, I made that video. The rest is off the cuff.
38:14
That happened just middle America.
38:16
Middle America, literally. But what a what a, what a cool
38:20
campground. He did make some friends there.
38:23
That's kind of what you're talking about it.
38:24
They had like a playground and whatever and.
38:26
We went, we went back to the hotel where the players were
38:31
staying and I actually got to meet Tommy Tanks.
38:35
Oh yeah, and did you really did? He's awesome, He's great.
38:40
He's my favorite player. That's a great besides Tray
38:43

38:44
Cool, that is so cool man, I saw that.
38:46
Was that the SEC? Tournament.
38:47
How many teams? Was dressed up just like him.
38:50

38:51
I saw earlier like a month ago, some kid was in the stands.
38:55
Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
38:57
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what?
38:59
Yep. That's awesome, man.
39:00
Look, our our our friend, our friend Clay Corley says
39:04
permanent segment on the pod. The life of Riley.
39:08
The life of Riley. Boom.
39:10
What? Also cool.
39:12
Remember we're sitting there championship day, Monday
39:15
championship game and I we're we're there probably an hour
39:19
before first pitch and I looked down and who is there but Clay
39:24
freaking Corley, who's chimed in in the in the chat here.
39:28
He he's from Florine and heck of a dude.
39:33
Heck of a dude. I'm not going to I won't sell
39:35
you out tonight, Clay, but amazing, amazing.
39:40
And that just made me feel I knew I knew for a fact we were
39:43
going to win that game because I saw Clay down there that night.
39:46
Like I had no doubts in my mind. Told him that after the game.
39:50
No, it was like this is happening.
39:52
I was so nervous, placey, my experience in Omaha.
39:56
So I did the same kind of deal but with my daughter when she
40:00
was. 12 or 11 or 1213. She may have been 14.
40:04
Whatever. LSU played Florida 2017, lost
40:10
the first two games. That was it.
40:12
Bam, Florida won the national championship.
40:14
We did the same trip. We rolled, we didn't.
40:17
It wasn't as late at night and we didn't have to gun it like we
40:20
did, but it was still pretty fast and furious did the same
40:25
deal went went there and saw him lose.
40:27
So this was a redemption trip for me in many, many ways.
40:32
And after that first day on Man I.
40:34
Know all about those redemption trips?
40:35
Yeah, that's awesome. That's a once in a lifetime deal
40:38
there for you, Riley. I mean, it may happen again, but
40:40
like, right now, dude, that's locked and loaded like something
40:43
you should never, ever, ever forget that.
40:45
That's so cool. Never.
40:47
Will. Yeah, that's awesome, buddy.
40:49
That's awesome. Well, look, Patrick McGuire,
40:51
Riley asked. What's Let's hear about Riley's
40:55
summer plans to tell them what? What are you up to this summer
40:58
hours? I'm mainly hanging out with a
41:01
lot of my friends that live near me and there's and.
41:10
That chat's distracting, isn't it?
41:14
See. And they can't see it, Riley, so
41:16
they have no idea. Yes, my daughter says 14.
41:21
Come on, get it right, Dad. I said 14.
41:23
It was like Eleven 12/13/14. Yeah.

41:44
Actually, today I asked my friend.
41:47
His name is Benjamin. I call him Benji.
41:50
Shut up, Benji. I asked him how what's the
41:56
formation of tackling and he he told he just didn't say
42:00
anything. He dragged me by my shirt, threw
42:03
me outside and he just, he taught me like the formation of
42:08
how to tackle. And I think I'm ready for summer
42:12
camp, so no. I like it.
42:14
I like it, man. You.
42:15
Head up, head up. Hit with head up.
42:18
And this guy knows what he's talking about.
42:19
He played football at Utah. Oh, wow.
42:23
Oh yeah, he's a Ute baby. He's a Ute big Ute.
42:26
Big Ute. Who was your head coach out
42:30
there? What was the guy that won the
42:33
Super Bowl with the? Tom Coughlin.
42:36
Tom Coughlin. Yeah.
42:38
Oh wow, that was your coach? That was my coach, and we had
42:41
Scott Mitchell as our quarterback.
42:43
Wow. OK.
42:45
And we were horrible. We sucked.
42:49
What did you play, Big Russ? What was your position?
42:52
I was a pulling guard. OK, all right.
42:55
Yeah, I think Briles, I don't know.
42:57
It's going to be fun to see what he where they put him.
43:00
If they put him on the offense or defensive line.
43:02
I you know, they'll they'll know what to do with him.
43:05
But the boy has sighs. He's been don't let him fool
43:08
you. He's been hitting the gym now
43:10
for the last couple of weeks too, hitting some weights,
43:12
hitting some cardio. Dude, he's getting ready.
43:15
He's getting in shape. Oh yeah, he's he's bringing it.
43:20
He's bringing it. Hey, listen, Brantley, did you
43:23
see? And I don't, I think this was
43:24
from the Patriots where they inducted Brady into the Hall of
43:30
Fame or whatever for the Patriots.
43:31
Have you seen that speech? Isn't that what that speech is
43:33
from? I just saw like yesterday on
43:34
Twitter or this morning. I think I've seen what you're
43:37
talking about, but I have not seen it, no.
43:39
You need to listen. Go find that speech.
43:41
You need to like Rally, You need to listen to this.
43:44
Like listen to the words of what he's saying, what he's talking
43:47
about. This is everything, dude.
43:48
This is the greatest player ever and just listen to what he's
43:50
talking. Storm might be in your age.
43:51
He's talking about his buddies are at the beach or the pool
43:55
party and they're playing and he's out there doing 2A days.
43:57
He's sweating, he's grinding. People are bigger, faster,
43:59
stronger. He's not nowhere near where he
44:01
should be, but he just kept going.
44:03
And that's how he became the greatest ever.
44:06
That's a great speech. That's a great speech for all.
44:08
I will play that. Listen to it this morning.
44:10
So yeah, we'll play that. We you getting tired on us,
44:14
Rouse? No, it's all right, dude.
44:17
I just got one more question for you and we're going.
44:19
We're going to visit with Big Russ.
44:22
I got I got to know more about Big Russ.
44:24
Oh, no. Oh, yeah, we're getting in it.
44:27
Riley, don't watch when you go back inside the house.
44:31
Don't watch the show moving forward.
44:33
OK, but but I got to ask one thing.
44:38
College World Series starts tomorrow.
44:41
We know who all is playing in it.
44:43
You got North Carolina, who beat LSU.
44:46
You've got Virginia. You got the number one seed in
44:49
Tennessee. You got the the Florida State
44:52
Seminoles who made a heck of a turn around from last year, not
44:55
even making the tournament. You've got Kentucky who has had
44:58
a really good year, small ball, brilliant with the small ball
45:03
and I like their coach a lot. NC State, Texas A&M and Florida
45:10
back again. They work their way back in
45:12
there. Who you think's going to win it
45:14
all, buddy? I think that Tennessee will win
45:19
it. All right, all right, I mean,
45:21
that's not a bad pick. They are the favorite and it
45:25
could be their year. They they've been really good
45:28
for several, several years. They've gotten really close, but
45:31
they haven't been able to like their coach.
45:34
I don't like their coach. I can't stand that prick.
45:37
But but they have a great program and they're they're
45:42
definitely I like. Him.
45:43
I like him. He's a good coach.
45:44
He he is a good coach. I'll give him that.
45:47
Yeah, he is a good coach. I like the speech he gave the
45:49
other day. I should say that.
45:50
That's now. Now, he did soften my heart a
45:55
tinge, but yeah, no love lost for Tony in my in my world.
46:02
But that's OK. That's OK.
46:03
I what about you, Blacy? Who do you think is going to win
46:06
it all? I have no idea.
46:08
Perfect. Perfect.
46:09
Pick a team. Pick one of the eights.
46:11
Yeah, I'll take. You know what?
46:13
Just to 8 skate and donate. I'll take the Florida Gators.
46:18
All right. I like it.
46:19
I like it. Actually, that's that's kind of
46:21
who I'm going with too. That's what I told.
46:24
You, I told you, Paul, I told you Gator people, you're going
46:29
to maybe like me in a minute. I don't want this.
46:31
It goes against every grain and bone in my body.
46:35
But they have the experience. They have the best player that's
46:39
currently playing in college baseball.
46:40
He can pitch, he can hit. They have all of that
46:44
experience. They've been there, they've done
46:45
that. And I think that I think that
46:48
experience pays off. They're hot.
46:49
They're the hottest team in baseball right now.
46:51
So I think I think that's a good pick.
46:54
Big Rice. I'm going to go with Kentucky.
46:58
All right, I like it. See if some small ball can win
47:01
this one. I believe in small ball.
47:04
Yeah, there you go. There you go.
47:06
Well, that's fine, dude. Riley, it's been fun visiting
47:11
with you, man. Let's let's let Big Russ, let's
47:13
let Blasey truly introduce Big Russ here.
47:18
We're going to get my mics back straight and I'll I'll hop back
47:21
in with you boys here in a second all.
47:24
Right, boys, that sounds good. I'm giving Russ a little
47:27
introduction here. So Riley, thank you, buddy.
47:29

48:34

48:39
here. We, we had the crawfish boil the
48:41
other night and we're over there having a big time just cutting
48:44
it up, eating some crawfish and talking.
48:47
And I was like, delicious. Wasn't it good though?
48:52
Not not because I cooked it, it was just because it turned out
48:54
good. Because they were perfect.
48:55
They were fantastic. That that 4th batch is where
48:58
it's at, wasn't it? That last one, That's that's
49:00
when we. Just.
49:01
We threw the heat at that last batch, man, like all the other
49:04
batches were great. And they were and they were hot
49:06
and they wasn't like they were mild.
49:08
They were really good flavor. But that last batch, we were
49:10
like, all right, let's put the women and children to bed.
49:13
Let's let's let's level down right here.
49:16
And we did so now it was fun. We had a we had a huge time the
49:21
other night, but I will say at the end of it, I was like, dude,
49:24
come on the podcast, dude, like, well, why wouldn't you?
49:27
Like I'm sitting here in props. You're always up here.
49:30
This dude is just an absolute character.
49:32
But he did, you know, he actually has a real job.
49:34
He didn't just come up here and hang out.
49:35
I do, he does he he works, he's hey, he builds the fancy houses
49:40
down there. So all right, so I'm right here
49:43
in Walton County. We got, we're in North Walton
49:46
just on the north side of the Bay and then S Walton down there
49:49
on 30 A on the fancy, fancy part of it, especially on the east
49:54
side of. It Easton.
49:55
Yeah, down near Rosemary Alice Beach.
49:57
He's down there building those Alice Beach houses.
50:01
Yes, Sir. What's your average?
50:03
I was asking this the other night.
50:04
It just kind of blew my mind. Average selling price of a house
50:07
that you built. It's about 14,000,000.
50:14
He. Said that with a straight pace
50:16
the other night. Too.
50:16
I was like, that's. Nuts, man, $14 million average
50:21
house that he builds down there is what it sells for.
50:23
That's crazy town. But yeah, he's he's just a good
50:27
old boy though, just like all of us, you know.
50:29
So he's from Utah originally? Yes, Sir.
50:32
Yes, Sir. Grew up.
50:33
Grew up Utah. Played football at Utah.
50:35
Yes, Sir. Tell us a little bit about you
50:36
up green upbringing a little bit.
50:38
I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, UT, a little town
50:44
called Holiday. It's no longer a little town.
50:47
I played football at Olympus High School, and I was actually
50:53
in high school. I played defense.
50:55
And my senior year the starting guard got hurt and so I started
51:02
playing Garden. That's where it all came about.
51:05
And then using Utah commuter school, I mean, I wouldn't fit
51:10
the mold anymore of that to fit in the mold.
51:15
But I was, you know, lucky enough to have that opportunity
51:19
to go out there and I got injured, got hurt, but it was a
51:22
good time. No, that's cool, brother.
51:25
So. So how long you been in Florida?
51:27
I moved here in 2001 actually. I moved here that's the exact
51:32
same time. I moved here.
51:33
I moved here September 7th of 2001, had contracts all signed
51:40
up ready to go and then September 11th happened and had
51:44
to dig back in and actually went out and hung sheetrock.
51:48
I did did everything because I, I've always been in the
51:51
construction field and had to dig through it.
51:55
But you know, six months later we got our contracts back up and
51:57
off we went. That was it man.
51:59
Now that that's, that's awesome. And so yeah, I was, I moved here
52:03
in O1. I moved to Destin to begin with.
52:06
I was in Destin for probably 8 months and then found a house
52:09
out here in Blue Mountain Beach and bought a house out here like
52:12
an O what was that? O2, O3 and so and so any anyway,
52:19
I would say I was out here for a while and I've been here in
52:23

Oh man. That's my own, the spot, Al.
55:32
It's nowhere nearly. Oh, big rust and I'll get up
55:34
here and start cutting up man at the bar.
55:36
It's just like. It's like two children, you know
55:38
what I mean? Just back and forth talking
55:40
about this. Next thing you know, we're
55:42
singing. What was that song?
55:44
My name is Luca. I mean, I mean, why we're.
55:47
Singing that song. We're singing the whole song.
55:49
It's like, how do we end up singing this song at the bar?
55:51
Like this is so weird. That's a song that I think Big
55:53
Rush, you may agree. That's a song that hasn't been
55:55
covered. Kind of like Fast Car.
55:57
It's about time, yeah. My name.
55:59
Is. I think it will be, and that's a
56:01
song that probably should be covered here.
56:03
Pretty. I think Luke Combs should do it.
56:06
Oh wow. Where's the answer?
56:08
Sound, isn't it? Yeah, well, he did the other
56:11
one, so why not? You're exactly right.
56:13
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very important announcement to.
56:16
Make. John Costeca is in the house.
56:19
And he loves in. Blasi.
56:20
At Props Brewery. Got to get this right.
56:23
You got to. Get it?
56:24
Right. I missed it again.
56:25
Costika. Costika.
56:30
Blame it on me, John. Costika yeah, you got this is?
56:34
It's probably Costeca, Probably Bubba's been saying it wrong for
56:36
two. Years, John.
56:37
Are we saying it wrong? Just.
56:38
Let us know. I think it's Costeca based on
56:40
Bubba. John Costiga's in the House.
56:47
But it comes back. Hopefully that made-up there.
56:48
Yeah, Brantley, you're right. It's actually Costeca.
56:51
Shit. I don't know.
56:57
We got it covered both ways. Uh oh, Tammy Salter, My wife
57:02
says. I'm still watching Dad.
57:04
Let's not get weird. I'm not getting weird, you know,
57:07
I'm all good. Not you, big Russ.
57:12
I think Riley is logged into to Tammy's account.
57:16
But it's all good buddy. It's all good.
57:19
Watch if you want to. Watch it too.
57:23
Learn as you will. Learn as you will, it won't be
57:27
anything you didn't hear on that road trip to freaking OMA.
57:31
Oh, here. With Uncle Bob and Tiggy pops.
57:35
You know, it's funny. Colorful.
57:37
No, I'm super colorful. The other night that you sent
57:40
and I forgot. I didn't forget, but you sent
57:42
that tweet out. I'm.
57:44
Right. Oh wow, it's so Costeca.
57:45
So Bubba's been saying it wrong the whole time.
57:48
Bubba's been saying it wrong. Glad we got to the bottom of
57:50
this. Unbelievable.
57:51
You said liking, see why did not believe in Bubba so much.
57:54
I think you would have had that. So it's Costeca.
57:58
It should be, but either way I like it either way.
58:00
So now I don't know what the hell way I said it.
58:04
Now I'm so confused. It's just see.
58:06
John, I'm never going to get your name right, so.
58:08
Just live with it, I think. This is what's happened to
58:10
Bubba. This is where the tigs and bigs.
58:12
The bigs and Tigs. And the way they come in.
58:14
This is where the bigs and bigs. I know you want to get these
58:18
guys just watching these guys March but but.
58:21
He said he was watching. They're not getting a ring.
58:24
If it's preorder, if it's a ring or if it's shoes, they're not
58:26
getting anything. Yeah, of course they get a ring,
58:28
but they've been out to ask for a ring.
58:30
They ask for a ring, they're out of the show.
58:32
Pride, passion and patience. Loud.
58:42
All right? Yeah, man.
58:43
God, so good. Sorry, Big Russ, this thing,
58:45
this is I. Love.
58:46
It this is what happens when it's just a Blazy and Tiki show.
58:50
It goes back to the old Florida day is a thing that.
58:52
Just a cold beer. We will derail this sucker.
58:55
I need a cold beer. Someone's got an order to get a.
58:58
Beer. Somebody bring this man a beer
59:00
if y'all are watching this live at props, I'm not, John says.
59:03
No problem. He's had this issue you his
59:05
whole life. I figure you have.
59:07
Look, my name's Brantley. No one has ever gotten that
59:10
right. It never is ever right.
59:12
So it doesn't bother me at. All it never.
59:16
Has just don't call me late for dinner.
59:18
That's all I say. No, don't call me late for
59:21
dinner either. Exactly.
59:23
I had a guy called me Blantley one time.
59:25
That's what he is. But I don't know how.
59:27
I don't know how you massacre Brantley to Blantley, Hey.
59:31
Blatly. Who the hell would name their
59:33
kid Blantley? I've still never heard of a
59:35
Blantley, but if there's one out there, apologies, your name
59:38
sucks. What a.
59:41
Loser. What a get yourself out of this.
59:44
You should change your name like Bubba.
59:46
Did You Know? Exactly.
59:47
The. Love Sponge.
59:48
Exactly. So anyhow, Big Russ, we've kind
59:51
of gone off the rails here, so you're my general contractor.
59:54
Let me bring this thing back in. Your rail on a back in car.
59:58
Like the pros that we are. So you're a general contractor,
1:00:02
I do recall and this will be exposed on the show tomorrow on
1:00:06
the other show. But let.
1:00:08
Me go get him a beer, this guy can go.
1:00:09
Get him a beer. Let me talk to Big Rust for a
1:00:11
second. You want my cup, dos Pelotos?
1:00:19
So Blasi mentioned that there is a that like your your houses
1:00:25
that you are a general contractor for.
1:00:26
These things aren't cheap. No, no.
1:00:29
At all? Like what is your minimum
1:00:32
number? I want to see how accurate we
1:00:34
are on our podcast. Well, they're selling for about
1:00:38
14,000,000. My clients are selling them.
1:00:43
I, I build, I don't expect build the clients hire the architect
1:00:48
and and we build them. The average cost per square foot
1:00:54
to build right now is about $1300 a square foot construction
1:00:58
cost. So these people are they're
1:01:02
making, they're making great money on the flip.
1:01:05
I've had a few of them flip, but they're they're incredible
1:01:09
structure is what I really love about it.
1:01:12
They're challenging, they're solid concrete, and we build a
1:01:17
beautiful. Home anything that can be thrown
1:01:21
their way. Yes, and the houses we build are
1:01:24
actually certified fortified is a requirement which is above and
1:01:29
beyond the standard for Miami-Dade.
1:01:33
So these houses are solid concrete with concrete roofs and
1:01:39
they could withstand anything. I would I would sit in any one
1:01:42
of my house during Category 5. And there you go and feel
1:01:46
comfortable. And feel comfortably safe.
1:01:49
Yeah. I mean, that's what it's
1:01:50
designed for, isn't it? Amazing how the building codes
1:01:54
and all that stuff because it was.
1:01:57
Oh yeah. 15 years ago or so whenever I lived there in Santa
1:02:01
Rosa Beach and, and well, I lived in, in Hammock Bay in
1:02:04
Freeport, but I worked in Santa Rosa Beach, obviously a lot of
1:02:07
the wood and stuff that we, we sold a lot to general
1:02:10
contractors. Yes, Sir.
1:02:12
To the people who were building the cabinets or whatever.
1:02:14
So yes. And a lot of that stuff went
1:02:17
into those beach homes, of course, the 2008, 2000 and.
1:02:22
Eight, you know we all need I say more.
1:02:26
Opportunities happen for a lot of folks too, but then it also
1:02:29
crushed people as well. Crushed a lot of people.
1:02:32
We were very lucky to stay alive during that whole recession and
1:02:39
it lasted a lot longer than we thought it would, but we were
1:02:42
able to keep our, our core employees and all the way
1:02:46
through. And we, we're ended up being
1:02:51
blessed by actually having the opportunity to keep going and
1:02:55
going strong. And right now the hard work is
1:03:00
paying off is what it is. Build quality, build, you know,
1:03:05
just build all the good stuff. I love how how much better this
1:03:11
show just keeps getting with the technology and that we're able
1:03:15
to do this. The wireless mics, like
1:03:17
everything's rocked and rolled tonight.
1:03:19
For the most part. It's been unbelievable.
1:03:23
You didn't miss much place look. Look how long my arms are, dude.
1:03:27
Like look at these things. That's that wingspan.
1:03:31
That's that wingspan. Wingspan.
1:03:34
Wingspan. He's got that wingspan.
1:03:35
But yeah, there's no bleeding over the mics.
1:03:37
You'll both sound fantastic. Yeah, no, I mean y'all, y'all
1:03:41
let us know in the chat if. We're if you know, he moves his
1:03:46
back around. How you doing?
1:03:51
You know what I've been thinking around?
1:03:55
I mean, he'll get to eating that thing, won't he?
1:03:57
It's like he's really working that mic.
1:03:59
You can get up in these things, I mean.
1:04:02
They're really they're. Designed to get the hell up in
1:04:05
them. But.
1:04:06
Anyway, what I was trying to say was.
1:04:12
I had to put on the good headphones.
1:04:14
I can finally hear y'all really well.
1:04:16
That's good. Yeah.
1:04:17
I just have to do the earbuds so I can actually hear myself talk.
1:04:19
You know, I got this problem. I did that so he wouldn't hear
1:04:22
this double voice because my voice comes out before it comes
1:04:24
through there. And that just really messes with
1:04:26
you. So I tightened him down with I
1:04:28
think you got the good ones on. Yeah, he's got the good ones on.
1:04:30
And so it. Feels good.
1:04:32
Feels good. It's tight, man, it's a little
1:04:33
sweaty in there, but. Yeah, my, my glasses are fogging
1:04:36
up, but you know, it's all right.
1:04:38
Hey, I bet there's not any air moving in that room, is there?
1:04:41
Blazing. Not a lot.
1:04:43
No, I didn't figure there was. I see fans and stuff in the but
1:04:46
I mean, that's where they brew the beer.
1:04:47
Typically they it smells like beer, Yeah, but today they they
1:04:53
haven't. Brewed in like a week.
1:04:55
So it's down. It's down a lot.
1:04:56
Usually when they have this mash tank going, I get through doing
1:04:59
that and they brew over here and they cook it on the kettle I
1:05:02
think is what they call it. I guess it's a strong, you know,
1:05:05
smell of all that. All the good stuff.
1:05:08
Barley, I can't wait. When is that?
1:05:12
When is that date? Isn't it July 13th or yeah, July
1:05:15

1:05:19

That is rust advantage on the cornhole toss.

It is an advantage he just reach out and just drop it in.
1:09:23

1:09:25
I don't think my shoulder will allow me to make more than 20

Fan already did, but holy shit wow.
1:09:57
Hey, listen, so I'm going to make something official, then
1:09:59
I'm going to move back to something I want to talk about.
1:10:01
So we talked about last week, or maybe I just talked about it on
1:10:04
the podcast, I don't even know. Anyway, whatever.
1:10:07
But I said I was 98% sure I'm going down to the Tampa Tarpons
1:10:11
game for the Bubba Army night. But I'm 100%.
1:10:15
I even booked my room today. Now each week on the on the
1:10:18
wall. That's what made it official to
1:10:20
me, I think today, yesterday. Yeah, they can tell Bubba you
1:10:23
were. Coming on the Way, 100.
1:10:25
Percent locked and loaded. That's what I'm talking about.
1:10:28
Dude, I can't wait. It's going to be so fun.
1:10:30
So Speaking of that, that's what reminded me that Captain
1:10:32
Creamsicle, I was there last year.
1:10:33
It's just like all these Bubba, There's a bunch of big dudes in
1:10:36
Bubba Army, man. Like I was literally every dude
1:10:39
I talked to. Like I was way smaller than
1:10:42
them. Like you know, that they were
1:10:44
super nice and cool, but I was just like, God, I feel like I
1:10:47
was back in long drive competitions or something.
1:10:49
It was like. Big human beings, man.
1:10:52
I mean is that this week? Have we already released that
1:10:55
show? I can't remember.
1:10:57
I know I made a video, but then I'm like shit, was this video?
1:11:01
Have we released this show yet? I it's started becoming an issue
1:11:06
and I have AI keep up with this stuff like I have a good system
1:11:10
but it's starting to run together.
1:11:11
Big Russ. It happens, man.
1:11:13
That's how we roll. It does have.
1:11:16
The captain's going to buy you some beers whenever you get
1:11:19
there. Please do, please appreciate.
1:11:22
I can't. I can't wait to see all these
1:11:23
folks. Man, I'm this is great.
1:11:24
I'm I'm. I'm.
1:11:25
Hoping, I hope that nothing happens.
1:11:28
We continue to just keep moving positive and forward with the
1:11:32
Bubba army and we make it to Barb.
1:11:34
I feel good about it. I feel good that we're going to
1:11:38
stay in the good graces with Bubba.
1:11:40
I don't think you know anything could happen though, you know?
1:11:43
Anything could happen. I'm prepared for that too.
1:11:45
We're, we're not, we're not causing, we're not purposely
1:11:48
drawing attention to us in a negative way.
1:11:50
We're not. There's nothing we're doing that
1:11:52
would purposely derail us from that.
1:11:54
But you never know. I think what we've done is we
1:11:58
have that, you know? I'm totally.
1:12:00
Fine with it. I'd be like, you know what guys
1:12:01
like you know, it's been a fun run and I still been a great
1:12:05
run. Podcast continues in the.
1:12:07
Show and then you know, Yeah. I mean.
1:12:10
You know something crazy. I just don't see that.
1:12:12
No, I don't either. We, but I'm not.
1:12:14
Too like arrogant to think it can't happen.
1:12:18
Not at all. Not at all.
1:12:20
I mean, I've seen, I've already just seen things like we've made
1:12:23
it further than I thought we might, would.
1:12:25
Honestly, I think we've done seven shows now.
1:12:27
That's incredible. We made it seven weeks in the
1:12:30
Bubba, in the Buba Bubba, Arma Bubba Army Bubba Army universe.
1:12:35
We made it 7 damn weeks that that's commendable.
1:12:39
Under the radar, it's kind of like where I like to fly anyway,
1:12:42
you know what I mean? It's like I want to be there,
1:12:44
but I don't want to be like the feature, like, you know, set.
1:12:49
Sent us our numbers this week and.
1:12:51
Numbers are good. I'm liking the number.
1:12:52
He's mostly. He likes the numbers, so he
1:12:55
likes. That's the most important.
1:12:56
I don't know what number is good or not.
1:12:58
There's certainly more. I love you guys listening to
1:13:02
this. Than ever before you.
1:13:04
Over the past seven weeks, I don't know if that's good or bad
1:13:06
like, but you know, it sounds OK.
1:13:08
It's. Definitely better than what we
1:13:11
were doing before we joined the bub army.
1:13:13
So there's no doubt that we are grateful, thankful, grateful and
1:13:18
blessed. But we really, we really and
1:13:20
truly are. I mean, this has been
1:13:22
incredible. The numbers I I've dove into
1:13:25
like our our podcast numbers Blasey like the audio version of
1:13:30
the show, which is what this is that this this gets released
1:13:33
immediately as soon as we finish this thing up.
1:13:36
Your boy here is over here producing and it drops tomorrow
1:13:40

1:13:42

1:13:46

1:13:47
Cursed. This is not a recording.
1:13:49
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're really doing this.
1:13:51
You're. About to give him, he thought.
1:13:52
Even next thing you know he's up mooning us or something like
1:13:54

1:13:56
No. Why keep?
1:13:57
It in your pants tonight? Now, once we get out, once we
1:14:00
end the stream, you do whatever the hell you want.
1:14:03
Oh, I'm not getting it all. See it?
1:14:06
Oh, I know you are. There's no doubt.
1:14:08
Here's no doubt. But hey, I do want to get to
1:14:11
something. I've been trying to get to this
1:14:12
for 30 minutes. Yeah, let me shut up.
1:14:15
No, no, no. It ain't that.
1:14:16
It's what we keep getting. I I derail myself.
1:14:18
You derail me. This has been a derailer.
1:14:20
That's the. Name I'm It's a derailer.
1:14:23
It's. A derailer like I felt like
1:14:24
Bubba where you know, you try to explain something it takes him 4
1:14:27
hours to do it. So anyway, the Oh yeah the other
1:14:31
the other day you tried to call me out John Costeca.
1:14:34
He tried to call me out and say that you didn't call me out.
1:14:40
You just like you made sure I can you prove this point like
1:14:44
was he talking trash or is this actually a real deal?
1:14:47
Like, you know, like, hey, you talk about in this clip, there's
1:14:51
something you do at the end of a bowl outside of the pineapple,
1:14:54
which I had the pineapple there, didn't I?
1:14:55
Man, that was delicious. That was good.
1:14:57
Wasn't it? We boiled it every single round
1:14:59
and it became our it's. Good.
1:15:01
So good. That was right at the end of the
1:15:03
bowl. The last round we ate pineapple
1:15:06
to kind of cleanse our palate there for that fourth round
1:15:09
bowl. And but then the final, final
1:15:11
thing is doing the crawfish shots with the vodka or the
1:15:15
crawfish and you were like, did y'all do this?
1:15:19
And I was like, oh, so happens we did.
1:15:22
And I'll let my buddy Russ here tell you about it.
1:15:24
So I sent you that video and posted that to answer your
1:15:27
question. That's exactly what we do.
1:15:30
That is not me talking trash. I that's like, that is part.
1:15:33
I actually, I looked around. I was like, who's got vodka?
1:15:35
And they were like nobody, like nobody, like we got to do
1:15:37
crawfish shots. This is just part of the
1:15:39
situation. Like I didn't bring the vodka.
1:15:41
I brought everything else but the vodka.
1:15:43
I got the crawfish juice, crawfish, everything else.
1:15:47
So he ran and got some vodka, brought it back, and my buddy
1:15:50
Russ there was the first one on the stage.
1:15:54
Oh, buddy. Any chance you got that video
1:15:57
pulled? Out that's what I'm looking for
1:15:58
dude. I am looking for the video as
1:16:01
you say it. I'm like those and I don't.
1:16:03
Know you showed it this day. I'll remind y'all I was fishing
1:16:07
all day that day and drank a lot of beer.
1:16:13
He had he had limited out on speckled trout and redfish that
1:16:16
day and then showed up to the Crawfish bowl.
1:16:20
Yeah, buddy. And I've been slow playing the
1:16:22
Crawfish Bowl because he was supposed to be coming.
1:16:24
And I was like, dude, I've been big.
1:16:25
Russ is an. Eater.
1:16:27
He shows up and there's no because we we had a lot of
1:16:30
eaters like I was surprised that.
1:16:31
The he did have eaters there. We did.
1:16:33
And that's the difference between people who attend and
1:16:36
those that eat. And we had some people that
1:16:38
actually showed up to eat. And I got one sack less than I
1:16:40
wanted to get. I got two sacks versus 3.
1:16:42
So I was like, man, and I'd rather.
1:16:44
Still ended up perfect. Though it ended up perfect.
1:16:46
It was great. But I I slowed.
1:16:48
I slowed down at the end waiting for you to get there because I
1:16:51
know you're an eater and I want to make sure we have crawfish.
1:16:52
For you, clearly I'm not an eater.
1:16:54
I'm, you know, I'm only £350. Oh oh.
1:17:03
I got it. Oh, I got it.
1:17:06
Yeah, I got it. You ready?
1:17:08
Yeah, let's bring it. This is this is an exclusive you
1:17:11
guys all of y'all that are in here chilling out.
1:17:15
This is going to be live tomorrow and then you guys will
1:17:18
see this video on Tuesday. We will release this show on
1:17:22
Tuesday, but here you go. Loves a good time.
1:17:27
You know he was I knew he was coming.
1:17:28
I kept waiting on him because he was out on the boat and I was
1:17:30
kind of slowing down off a little bit.
1:17:31
Gruss is supposed to be here. I got to make sure he eats.
1:17:33
I know he's a crawfish eater too.
1:17:35
And so he came in on that third and 4th batch there and at the
1:17:40
end we were talking about this whole deal.
1:17:42
I was like you know what I'd like to do some time with
1:17:43
crawfish shots. We anybody got any vodka?
1:17:45
And another buddy was like, I think I got some Smirnoff at the
1:17:48
house. I thought that's fine or
1:17:49
whatever. Got some vodka and brought it
1:17:53
back over and we proceeded to do crawfish shots.
1:17:55
That's crawfish juice in the left hand, that's vodka in the
1:17:58
right. And there's big rust to
1:17:59
demonstrate. Check this dude out, Crawfish.
1:18:01

1:24:17
they're up 30 in the damn. 02. 20. 20 right there.

1:27:09
He was a little aggravated. Bubba's a little, a little.
1:27:11
Aggravated today, Babyface was Babyface was really just on
1:27:14
point, to be honest with you. It's like everything was
1:27:16
happening. He was just about every about
1:27:18
every four sentence and Bubba would say he had just a zinger
1:27:20
coming in. He's pretty sharp.
1:27:23
He's sharp and he cracks me up. There's one thing I wish I could
1:27:26
remember it right now. As he said today, I'd sit there.
1:27:28
I giggled for like 15 minutes. Dude, what was that?
1:27:31
I can't. I can't.
1:27:32
I cannot remember. But dude, he just kept coming.
1:27:35
He was all over today. Steady diet of babyface.
1:27:41
I love babyface. I'm with John, I'm with Texas.
1:27:43
I'll Billy. I'm a big babyface fan, dude.
1:27:47
I think he's slick. He's just.
1:27:50
Man, he's super slick. He is.
1:27:52
I'm yeah, I'm a babyface. But not slick in a bad way like
1:27:55
slick is in. Like what he's there for?
1:27:58
He's. Done.
1:27:59
It's almost too easy for you. It's pretty easy.
1:28:01
Like, let's be real, it's like a little bit.
1:28:03
Easy, he can go into the Barber shop there in Tampa and hang out
1:28:08
with those guys and not be weird.
1:28:11
I watch the video which? Began.
1:28:13
Yeah, he did it. Let's be honest, not every white
1:28:15
person can go in there and not be weird.
1:28:17
I can go in there and not be weird at all.
1:28:20
Guaranteed. Oh yeah, You know, 100%, like,
1:28:23
yeah. That's I haven't heard this
1:28:25
week's Operation Pigmentation yet, but I will be checking that
1:28:28
out tomorrow. Morning, I got bored dude.
1:28:31
I got I got to listen to. That's my favorite show.
1:28:36
The hell with mine. If we're all voting, I'm voting.
1:28:40
We ain't voting for Tigs bits. I still vote.
1:28:42
I think Operation Pigmentation is the best.
1:28:44
Podcast the other day when when Bubba did the best podcast about
1:28:47
all those best of in Tampa. Like I went in and I voted
1:28:51
operation pigmentation. Like I mean, like I feel like
1:28:53
they're they are of Tampa too. And like I'm we're part of that
1:28:57
network and I appreciate it and nothing against us and I
1:28:59
appreciate if that would vote for us.
1:29:00
But like I. I don't think that we're even in
1:29:02
that conversation, Blasey. Number one, we hadn't been old
1:29:05
long enough and #2 we're not in Tampa.
1:29:08
No, none of us. No, that's.
1:29:11
Messed up and they're right there in Saint Pete, you know
1:29:13
what I mean? Which is Tampa Saint Pete, the
1:29:14
whole area like so no, it's cool, like I'm getting hey,
1:29:18
listen, I'm going down there. I I even told lummy today I
1:29:20
thought I'm coming down. I think I'm I'm going to leave
1:29:22
here like AI mean leave here like Wednesday.
1:29:25
I know you do. You're going to get there.
1:29:27
I think I'm. Going to get there I mean I'm
1:29:30
going to give me one of those babyface.
1:29:32
He says that I forget you know, I'm going to come in like 1 1/2
1:29:34
come on the side. Oh, you going to put I mean put
1:29:37
a hard. Part in there.
1:29:37
Get that part? Yeah, I think I'm going to cut
1:29:39
that part in there and see if they can do that for me.
1:29:41
I, you know, leave out of there just ready to roll going right
1:29:45
into the Tarpons game on Friday night.
1:29:48
Big rust. I don't think they know what to
1:29:49
do with our hair. Well, you know, I just I could
1:29:53
cut apart. Here, mine's really starting to
1:29:56
get there too, but I'm going to, I'm going to get them whenever
1:29:58
I'm there. Hopefully we go to BARP.
1:30:00
That's where I was getting earlier.
1:30:01
Like hopefully we make it to BARP without being blacklisted
1:30:05
or no shunned or whatever. I think we're going to make it
1:30:09
though. I really do because I want to go
1:30:12
hang with those boys. I want to go chill.
1:30:14
I want to go get a haircut. Like those are just cool.
1:30:17
Cats and like everybody I want to hang with.
1:30:19
Everybody. I love the way that Craig talks.
1:30:20
Like, yeah, man. You know, and then and then, and
1:30:24
then Rio is just so, so chill with it, you know, like they're
1:30:28
just, they're the perfect. Dynamic for this man.
1:30:30
They were born for this and they were born.
1:30:32
And I remember growing up around people like this man.
1:30:34
I used to go out this place called Clarence Tyson's.
1:30:36
It was this little beer, like this little beard place that
1:30:40
sold beer in the middle of the night between OP and Elbow.
1:30:43
It's in the middle of the woods. And we'd go out there and it
1:30:46
would be me hanging out with these like me and like other
1:30:50
like another 10 black guys. I was the only white dude there
1:30:53
and we were throwing like dice on the hood playing cards.
1:30:56
Clearance is selling us beer. It just remind just the
1:30:59
conversations were the same conversations, you know what I
1:31:02
mean? It was just I had, I had, I was
1:31:04
so comfortable there, you know, it's just so fun, you know, just
1:31:06
happened. That's what big SO.
1:31:08
Damn fun about that show. That's I mean that's what it is.
1:31:11
Look, captain captain says that we're his favorite show on the
1:31:15
podcast network, dude. That means that means a lot.
1:31:19
That means a lot that really that really and truly does.
1:31:24
They're all great man. I really every show on that and
1:31:28
and. And everybody hell, was that,
1:31:29
No. I don't know it's.
1:31:31
Like that was the beer relieving itself.
1:31:34
Is that what happened? I wish that was.
1:31:37
I think it was my couch that busted down the back door coming
1:31:40
after us right now. I don't know.
1:31:42
What's happening with the Catalina mixer back there?
1:31:45
Let me blow my screen up. We can go, actually.
1:31:47
So is this Catalina mixer close again?
1:31:50
No, there's nobody in there. No, everybody's outside.
1:31:54
There's there's 90 people outside because they did the
1:31:57
karaoke outside tonight because they had the Catalina wine mixer
1:32:00
here tonight. The Catalina wine mixer ended,
1:32:02
which was just the merchants of Freeport and all that.
1:32:05
So everybody's still out there because Steve the karaoke dude
1:32:08
is posted about. Normally he's right here behind
1:32:10
me on Thursdays. And but you know, anyway, we had
1:32:14
three events going there. It was a big night.
1:32:16
It's just a multi faceted night. But look, it's not even slowing
1:32:20
down. It just goes to show you, July
1:32:22
13th, whenever we're there to be doing our world record cornhole
1:32:28
toss, Big Russ, they can handle that.
1:32:31
They can. Handle.
1:32:32
I'll be there. I'll be there.
1:32:34
Big Russ is tossing the whole concern that I have just while
1:32:38
we're talking business and shop. Here is the live stream.
1:32:42
I'm just a little can we run Is there a router in there where we
1:32:46
can run a wire outside? Yes, I've already got that down
1:32:51
and I can bring my hey, listen, you know how good my little
1:32:54
router is for my studio, I'm going to bring that.
1:32:56
I know how good it is now based off of the Bubba show that will
1:32:59
be released tomorrow. Yeah, I didn't realize I was
1:33:02
running through a. Perfect.
1:33:03
Good Internet. A four point splitter.
1:33:06
But anyway, so I'm going to bring it over here with my 100
1:33:08
feet of cable and plug it in. I've already talked to this
1:33:12
place is so tech. This is a really tech savvy
1:33:14
place you have. Better Internet there than you
1:33:18
do at your damn house. Because they got it figured out,
1:33:20
they got four different networks here, and so we'll have our own
1:33:24
dedicated network. One of them is just actually on
1:33:26
the cameras. And so if even a lot of people's
1:33:29
here, he's going to put us on that 1.
1:33:30
So it's like the most isolated 1 and nobody will be, not even the
1:33:34
admin will be on way where the computers are running and
1:33:37
everything else. We're going to have our own.
1:33:38
Yeah, we'll have our own dedicated.
1:33:40
We'll be able to live stream this.
1:33:41
Yes, we're live. We're going to live.
1:33:42
We're going to run a. Live chat chat.
1:33:44
What are your thoughts? We've got a 3-4 hour run,
1:33:49
wireless GoPro mic, some hard mic set up, multiple computers.
1:33:54
Like we're going to try to attempt something that we have
1:33:57
never even done, and we're going to do it live.
1:34:02
We. Don't think that are y'all in or
1:34:04
y'all will y'all watch it says. Because if no one's going to
1:34:09
watch it, we'll record it. But if we're going to do it that
1:34:12
it's a lot of hassle to do the stream it may take.
1:34:15
It may take an hour, it may take 8 hours, or it may take two
1:34:19
days. We may have to go to bed and
1:34:21
wake up in the morning and reconvene.
1:34:24
We could have a Jersey Jerry situation on our hand and and.
1:34:28
If they do it, I'll sleep. I will sleep on a bench that
1:34:31
night. I will sleep on a bench under
1:34:33
the owning of props. If that happens, kind of hoping
1:34:37
that we have a Jersey Jerry situation.
1:34:39
We'll we'll put a. Tent out here and we'll sleep
1:34:41
under a tent. My buddy just sent me a text and
1:34:44
asked me to rub my titties so I did it.
1:34:46
Oh, did. It that was for my buddy bike.
1:34:57
Hey, we got a lot of people in here.
1:34:58
Watch it right now. More people are watching it
1:35:00
right now than been. Watching it the whole night.
1:35:02
Have a really big. Rush, dude, he brings the heat.
1:35:05
That is, Grace brings it in. He does.
1:35:08
He absolutely does. I'm.
1:35:11
Happy to be here. Says that he will absolutely
1:35:16
watch this event. So Perfect Texas Hillbilly says
1:35:20
he will watch it. Kostaka says he wants to go to
1:35:23
props. Everybody wants to go to props.
1:35:26
Find a way to like, We'll, we'll put more info out there.
1:35:30
We don't need to put the cart before the horse.
1:35:32
I think I see Nate behind you. Yeah, Nate's out there.
1:35:36
Yeah, we don't need to put the cart before the horse, but you
1:35:40
guys need to come to crops on July the 13th or 16th or
1:35:43
whatever. We'll, we'll, we'll, we'll lock
1:35:47
the date and a big character, whatever that Saturday is here.
1:35:51
It's the 13th it. It has to be on a Saturday.
1:35:54
I'm looking at the calendar now. Yeah, it's got to be on the
1:35:56
13th. It's on the 13th.
1:35:57
Yeah, it's on the 13th. There's little big.
1:35:59
Everybody gets the. Props.
1:36:01
Little big rust. Is pretty top heavy, ain't he?
1:36:03
Yeah. Little top heavy.
1:36:08
I'm just looking at him now. See, I'm just, I'm just the
1:36:10
wrong height for my weight. I should be like 7 foot five and
1:36:13
I'd be right in. But you.
1:36:16
Know if I was 6 foot nine like Captain Creamsicle?
1:36:19
Grab somebody. Throw him off of you.
1:36:20
You. Know yeah, this is what I do.
1:36:23
Yeah. Lacey, I got to ask you this.
1:36:25
I'm not 100% sure that he's throwing this out in in the
1:36:28
chat, Bobby, for reals? Florida Man Radio's last day in
1:36:32
Orlando is tomorrow. Is that what's up with that?
1:36:34
Is that true? I don't know.
1:36:37
Is it? Oh yeah, Because I remember they
1:36:39
were doing some cutbacks over there.
1:36:40
That's in Orlando, right? Yeah, because they were doing
1:36:44
some cutbacks. Kind of out of my.
1:36:46
You know what? That's that honestly, that's, I
1:36:48
think that's that Florida Man radio effect where they went
1:36:51
over there and got that station and they had to start making
1:36:54
some changes. Like, I think I could be way off
1:36:57
right now, but I think that's what that sounds.
1:36:58
Like this may be a topic for us to dive into next week for our
1:37:02
Bubba show. It may be, it may be.
1:37:06
Bobby says that JVC sold to a Spanish company.
1:37:11
Who was that talking? I don't.
1:37:12
Know what? I don't know what any of that
1:37:13
means. Time out.
1:37:14
I cannot read. That's just I'm looking at my
1:37:16
phone. What is that person's name right
1:37:17
there? Bobby, for reals.
1:37:19
OK. OK.
1:37:20
All right. Thank you.
1:37:21
Thank you. All right, all right.
1:37:22
I just couldn't see. All right.
1:37:23
JVC sold the Orlando market. Oh, look how they sold out
1:37:27
completely. Yeah.
1:37:28
Yeah. Oh, wow.
1:37:30
Big, big changes. Yeah.
1:37:31
You know, terrestrial radio is just in such a weird place right
1:37:34
now. And.
1:37:35
And like Bubba, you know, his transition from just
1:37:37
terrestrial, even though he still wants to have one more run
1:37:39
in it over to digital. It's just, you know, it is what
1:37:43
it. Is I really think and, and, and
1:37:45
I don't want to offend Bubba in any way.
1:37:48
I know that I've heard Seth talk about it too and and others, but
1:37:52
dude, terrestrial radio's dead. I don't care what anybody says.
1:37:56
I mean it, it's not dead dead, but you're not going to be
1:38:01
somebody like us. I don't believe.
1:38:04
And then you're not going to be the next Walton and Johnson.
1:38:07
You're not going to going to be Bubba the Love Sponge on Sirius.
1:38:10
You're not going to be a Howard Stern, a Jim Rohm or any of
1:38:15
those. Kids Astro radio and it make it
1:38:18
make like a big impact, no? I got to go piss.
1:38:22
Get it Big Russ. You go get it here.
1:38:25
Come back. Come back, Big Russ.
1:38:26
If we're here, yeah. If we're here, we're here.
1:38:31
If not, you talk about that, that if if we're not here,
1:38:34
that's how we. Get in with Dan Russ.
1:38:36
Isn't that beautiful? Hey, you talk about that?
1:38:38
Guy like he just hung out with us for damn well over an hour.
1:38:42
I love it. He's a big.
1:38:44
Russ is invited anytime for the record.
1:38:46
He's a machine too. He is really a machine.
1:38:48
Like I kid you not like, look, look at him walking behind me.
1:38:51
Wait, here comes here. You see him?
1:38:52
He's strutting right now like a rooster.
1:38:54
He's strutting like a rooster. He's on, too.
1:38:57
Riley was. Whenever I went inside, I had to
1:39:00
top my drink off. And Riley was so fired up.
1:39:03
You know, he felt that energy that you feel that we feel
1:39:06
whenever we're done with alive, we're going an hour and 39
1:39:09
minutes. We have the most people we've
1:39:11
had in here all night. And so do we really keep having
1:39:14
fun? Why they.
1:39:15
Yeah. We're going.
1:39:17
To go a few more minutes, we'll see a Big Russ.
1:39:19
I kind of want to see what happens when Big Russ comes
1:39:21
back. He'll be relieved, will be what
1:39:23
he will be. He'll be.
1:39:24
Relieved, and I think he'll be ready to close the show.
1:39:27
I've got to kind of got to relieve myself myself here soon.
1:39:30
Well, if you'd like, I don't know if you have at all lazy in
1:39:32
this whole deal. No, I did a while ago.
1:39:34
I went and got him a beer and of course I went to the.
1:39:36
Bathroom. Oh, you think I tried this?
1:39:37
OK. No 0% chance I can do that, Like
1:39:40
no. Unbelievable.
1:39:42
Unbelievable. Yeah.
1:39:43
Paul doesn't want. He doesn't listen to terrestrial
1:39:46
radio anymore. And you.
1:39:47
But what I find fun and interesting about myself is I
1:39:51
listen to more terrestrial radio than I ever have right now
1:39:56
because I listen to a lot of sports talk radio in Baton
1:39:58
Rouge, you know, that's. I.
1:40:01
Listen to the LSU stuff and whatever.
1:40:04
That's not what we do, but I'll listen to that.
1:40:06
And then I but I'm I'm listening to the Eagle 98.1 here in Baton
1:40:11
Rouge a lot. They play classic rock and their
1:40:14
classic rock used to just be Led Zeppelin and stuff, which I
1:40:17
love. Led Zeppelin I'm not, but it was
1:40:20
like 70s stuff and maybe a little motley crew and stuff.
1:40:26
Now this Eagle 98.1 plays every single thing I know and I am
1:40:31
old. That's what I just you know
1:40:34
what, but but you got what you listen to.
1:40:36
Hey, every every day I get in the car.
1:40:38
I listen to one O 3.1 Florida Man radio up here in Fort Walton
1:40:42
Beach and it's on even though I have it like, you know, YouTube,
1:40:45
whatever. I but I always, I listen to them
1:40:48
on the radio just, it's just because what I do, and I mean
1:40:51
Shannon Burke's on there, you know, so whoever I listen to
1:40:56
that all the time, my car's on 103.1, Bobby and Bobby, I've got
1:41:02
SiriusXM, but I listen to 103.1 every time I'm in the.
1:41:05
Car So you still are a radio guy, Bobby for real, says
1:41:08
Shannon. Shannon Burke posted a bid on X
1:41:12
about that whole deal, so we'll need to when we get.
1:41:16
All about the rest of the radio and all.
1:41:18
Yeah, so Shannon's a still big believer and I know there is.
1:41:21
All right, listen. So.
1:41:22
Oh yeah, I know. I'm not knocking.
1:41:24
Anybody I don't think of an asshole music is is absolutely
1:41:29
like almost like that is being destroyed.
1:41:32
But the spoken word, what we're doing now still on terrestrial
1:41:37
radio, still has it's still viable.
1:41:39
And to Shannon's point, he's even got the stats to back it up
1:41:42
and everything else. And I'm not like I'm not getting
1:41:44
it. Like I said, every time I get in
1:41:45
the car, I don't listen to my I don't plug my phone in, listen
1:41:47
to YouTube. I'm listening to one O 3.1
1:41:50
Florida man radio out of Fort Walton Beach.
1:41:52
I'm listening to it. I'll drive from here.
1:41:53
It it's it's such a blast signal.
1:41:55
I listen to it all the time. You know, so so Don Miller, Don
1:42:00
Miller's men day. You got Shannon Burke in the
1:42:02
afternoons. You got bubble love sponge in
1:42:04
the morning. I love Florida man radio, dude.
1:42:06
No, Lacey. Do you have any minute?
1:42:08
Do you have a minute and 51 seconds?
1:42:10
I mean, Russ is big. Russ is back.
1:42:12
I mean Russ is back. Big Russ.
1:42:14

1:42:48
In Fort Walton Beach, it's me, Shannon Burke, coming to you

the Shannonburg show.com. It's a podcast site.
1:43:29
We had for a while. We did some stuff on it where we
1:43:31
kind of lost fucking interest in it.
1:43:33
Whatever the fuck. I love radio.
1:43:36
I do. I mean, it's my, it's my
1:43:39
passion. It has been for 28 fucking
1:43:42
years. I just hate the radio industry.
1:43:47
It's kind of a scary thing anyway.
1:43:50
I still believe in it. I believe in terrestrial radio.
1:43:53
I believe in local radio. I think it's, I think it's
1:43:59
important. I think it's crucial to
1:44:02
communities and to to to to truckers, to people on the road.
1:44:08
Sadly, it's being fucked with really bad.
1:44:13
Anyway, listen tomorrow on the app if you want the one O 3.1

The Florida Man Radio app to rest.

1:47:18
Exactly what the hell happens when you're live?
1:47:21
This is what happens. When you're live, like they
1:47:23
announced it, like I can't believe they sold that.
1:47:25
They just bought it. They sold it.
1:47:29
They just got that market man for Bubba too.
1:47:31
It was going to be big. I thought they were going to
1:47:32
take over. Florida Man Radio was just like
1:47:34
I said, you take you got Bubba Love Sponge.
1:47:37
You got Don Miller, who's this black guy who's more of a a
1:47:40
little bit more of a conservative and calls everybody
1:47:43
out like he didn't. He just speaks the truth.
1:47:45
Then you roll right in a Shannon Burke in the afternoons.
1:47:47
Dude, it's just such a great lineup.
1:47:50
Listen to one O 3.1 here in Fort Walton Beach who has not sold
1:47:53
out to anybody. We still got that that's a
1:47:55
different 103.1. Just ironic.
1:47:57
They're the same that is call signal, but but in in Orlando,
1:48:01
who they just picked up maybe four or five months ago and oh
1:48:05
Dang, man, I I hate that. I just don't I don't know the
1:48:09
facts. It's awesome.
1:48:10
You just showed me a video. Yeah, no, I mean, you saw what?
1:48:13
You, you. We're watching this live,
1:48:16
watching it kind of unfold. Wow man, this together, this
1:48:21
show just took a shift like this is a break.
1:48:23
It really did this. Breaking.
1:48:25
News it's just starting to do an emergency pod Shando would love
1:48:28
to hear from you brother. I mean, if you, if you're.
1:48:31
Out there, send him a message on X or something like.
1:48:33
I am. I am, I'm going y'all y'all talk
1:48:36
for a second send. Him a link or something?
1:48:39
I'm going. To relieve myself.
1:48:41
You can relieve. That OK, big rice.
1:48:43
Yeah. I absolutely, I think we're.
1:48:45
Going to go a little bit longer. We are.
1:48:47
Going to go with everybody. I think we need to go a little
1:48:49
longer. I'm going to tell a funny story
1:48:51
about my first time going to Tampa ever while you're in the
1:48:54
bathroom and you'll have to go back and replay it to listen to
1:48:56
it because it is I. Love the this is what these
1:48:59
things happen more than you'd think that whenever we have to
1:49:02
take a little bathroom breaking these things and I go back and I
1:49:05
listen to them live after whenever I start to edit them,
1:49:08
I'm like, Oh my God, this is what I miss while I was gone.
1:49:11
So yeah, get after it. I'll be Here's the story right
1:49:15
back. Come on back.
1:49:17
All right, Big Russ, I'm going to tell you something.
1:49:19
All right. So I went to Troy University,
1:49:22
which was Troy State at the time, and I played for
1:49:23
fraternity π Kappa Phi fraternity.
1:49:25
I play, I, I didn't even plan the pledge of fraternity.
1:49:28
I went there just hanging out trying to get, I'm just trying
1:49:30
to go to school, getting on. But I went over this house, met
1:49:33
these guys. I like, man, these guys are just
1:49:34
like me, you know what I mean? Just good old country boys from
1:49:37
different little small towns in Alabama and different places and
1:49:39
some from Florida, even some from out West, you know what I
1:49:43
mean? But we were all just like minded
1:49:45
and like to have a good time. And I was like, you know what,
1:49:47
I'm going to do this. So I pledge and deer in that
1:49:50
quarter, pledge quarter, about halfway through, we have a, a
1:49:55
philanthropy at the time called Push Push America.
1:49:57
And it was, it was dealing with disabled kids and all.
1:50:02
So we went down to Tampa, FL one weekend, left them like a
1:50:07
Thursday to go build a playground.
1:50:09
And that's awesome. It was awesome.
1:50:12
And so we go down and there been a Tampa, FL in my life and so we
1:50:15
go down to Tampa and we, I don't know what part of Tampa we're
1:50:19
in, but I remember going I think near Clearwater where they did
1:50:22
the rowing, like a lot of the rowing stuff.
1:50:24
I'd see all the different, like, you know, Yale and Harvard and
1:50:27
all these people had. Painted on the.
1:50:29
Sides of the wall where they do all these rowing competitions
1:50:32
and there was some rowing going on that day.
1:50:33
I remember seeing that we built the playground.
1:50:36
We're, I mean that they're getting after.
1:50:38
There's like forty of us. We're building the playground.
1:50:41
But then come Saturday night, it's time to play a little bit.
1:50:46
Oh yeah. So they said, hey guys, we're
1:50:49
going to go to this place. This is 1994.
1:50:54
They were said it's called the Mons Venus.
1:50:57
And I was like, oh, what is the Mons Venus?
1:50:59
And they were like, well, it's a strip club.
1:51:02
No, sure. OK, I just turned 21.
1:51:06
I got to Troy a little late. I, I, I went to work full time,
1:51:09
did all that stuff. So I was 21 and so OK, and I go
1:51:13
to Mons Venus. So I didn't know anything about
1:51:15
it. I've never been to a strip club.
1:51:16
Eh, never been to a strip club. And I'm going to tell something
1:51:20
else I probably shouldn't say on here, but I'm whatever dude,
1:51:22
it's 2024. I've never smoked weed.
1:51:27
Oh no. And in the parking lot when we
1:51:29
got there, somebody pulled out a joint and saying smoking weed
1:51:33
outside. I haven't done anything.
1:51:35
OK, sure, why not give? Me a little puff puff give you
1:51:38
know, I mean couple little tokes and then we walk into the strip
1:51:41
club. I did nothing about other.
1:51:43
It was called the Mont Venus. I had no idea it was this world
1:51:46
renowned strip club at the time. No idea.
1:51:50
You can't even drink in here. And I walk in and dude, I, I, it
1:51:55
was like I'd been like teleported to a different
1:51:58
planet. I didn't know what was going on
1:52:00
around. I was.
1:52:01
Scared I was not. It was unbelievable, but I was
1:52:04
terrified. Like people were coming out of
1:52:06
the, like, chicks were coming out of the ceiling and like, Oh
1:52:09
my God, I'd never seen anything like it.
1:52:10
I was like in shock. So, you know, I've done two
1:52:13
things I've never done before, right?
1:52:14
I've smoked a little weed. And I see you with some titties.
1:52:19
World renowned strip club the Mons Venus.
1:52:22
Oh. Man, Oh my God, I sat over there
1:52:24
and literally sat off to the side a little bit and just sat
1:52:27
there for like an hour just like and I could not believe what I
1:52:30
was seeing the entire night. You know what I mean?
1:52:32
Like I could not believe this was actually happening.
1:52:34
This is a real. Event a little bit of shock.
1:52:36
A lot of shock, yeah. I don't know, Maybe I walked up
1:52:40
there and threw a dollar on the stage.
1:52:41
I mean, I you know you. Oh I got the back, got lap
1:52:44
dances and temple dances. I didn't do anything.
1:52:47
I was. Scared to?
1:52:48
Death I was, but I was also like, I was in a dream.
1:52:51
It was crazy. So there's a story from my first
1:52:54
trip to Tampa ever, and I went up leaving and, you know, but
1:52:58
you got to think that's like smoke weed too.
1:53:00
You know what? I mean, it was that.
1:53:01
Was a lot going on, you know? Yeah.
1:53:04
Titties and weed, that's a bad combination.
1:53:06
That's. A combination, dude.
1:53:10
What do you mean that's? A.
1:53:12
Bad combination. I'm just saying that for the
1:53:16
youth out there. Oh, the youth.
1:53:17
Combination. So quick check in the house.
1:53:20
My son Riley, our junior correspondent, is now on the
1:53:24
Oculus headset. But this video playing loudly in
1:53:29
the living room, Oh, is it showing?
1:53:31
He can still hear every word we're saying.
1:53:35
Well, David? Whatever look, hey, we
1:53:38
appreciate the views, the watch time, the watch hours.
1:53:42
You know, you're getting two hours of watch hours out of that
1:53:45
one, so that's amazing. That's amazing.
1:53:48
Still hadn't heard from Shando. It's kind of like they say, you
1:53:51
know, contact Seth, he can reach him.
1:53:53
I got a feeling that that Shando is talking to a lot more people
1:53:58
that are a hell of a lot more important.
1:54:00
I might catch him in. A vulnerable moment.
1:54:02
And like, he wants an outlet to get on.
1:54:04
And there's an outlet right now that has to do something.
1:54:06
But Bubba loves sponge. He's a big fan of Bubba.
1:54:08
Like, he might just. Yeah, just we might get lucky,
1:54:10
you know what I mean? We're here, we're here, we're
1:54:12
here. We're ready to go.
1:54:14
But man, that is some. That is some.
1:54:16
Seriously. Yeah, I mean, I got a feeling
1:54:19
that that Bubba will be. I was.
1:54:22
Going to be on that first thing in the morning I would think.
1:54:25
It kind of damn near makes me want to wake up early because I
1:54:28
have to wake up at 5:00 if I want to.
1:54:31
If I want to start buffing, it don't happen for me very often.
1:54:34
I know the last couple nights I've been busy.
1:54:36
I've been doing some stuff around the house.
1:54:37
I've been staying up a little later and I should be.
1:54:38
And it's been, I haven't been getting up till like 6:30 or
1:54:40
seven and feeling guilty I'm missing part of the show.
1:54:43
But usually I'm up by 4:30. I think in the morning I'm going
1:54:46
to be up to see how this starts off because that'll probably
1:54:49
lead the lead. Story.
1:54:51
I mean, I think that it would be.
1:54:54
I just hope it I got I'm trying to figure out how it impacts
1:54:56
them overall. I know what Shannon is.
1:54:59
He's just got his promotion outside of doing his show.
1:55:02
He's also, I forget his title exactly.
1:55:05
It's like the production manager or something of the whole
1:55:07
network. And I'm of Orlando, man, and
1:55:10
that's that. That impacts his job too, man.
1:55:12
And I just hate it because I'm a big Shannon Burke fan and.
1:55:16
Shannon's awesome dude. I love he's.
1:55:18
Been a great in radio and dude just you listen to his show like
1:55:22
I'm being real, you listen to his show in the afternoons and
1:55:25
you listen to him like that sounds like a seriously
1:55:29
nationally syndicated show and he is syndicated like but it's
1:55:32
like that dude should be in every market across the country
1:55:36
he could. Oh for sure dude.
1:55:37
He's just good how he covers stuff and how I love the way he
1:55:40
talks about talks through things and his just.
1:55:43
He's. Very show flows, man.
1:55:45
He's very professional. He's extremely professional, but
1:55:49
edgy and you know, he like edgy. He leaves you.
1:55:51
Hanging on and he makes me come back from a break.
1:55:53
He leaves you at the end. He leaves a teaser, sets you up
1:55:57
as he comes back in. Like it's not too stretched out,
1:56:01
but enough where you want to. You stay engaged.
1:56:03
Yeah, but. But anyway, I don't know.
1:56:06
Yeah. No, he's somebody that's
1:56:08
definitely somebody to kind of if you want to replicate how you
1:56:12
do it. Bubba is one of those guys.
1:56:15
Chando's one of those guys. Howard Stern's one of those
1:56:18
guys. And they're all of the same
1:56:20
cloth. And that that's on hell of a
1:56:21
cloth to be a part of. Damn.
1:56:26
Yeah. Rainey says that she always
1:56:28
starts the show at 9 Central as soon as soon as Bubba ends
1:56:33
because obviously you're in Oklahoma.
1:56:35
You're in Central time zone like us as well.
1:56:39
That makes sense. That's a good.
1:56:40
That's a good and it also explains how you're able to hang
1:56:44
on and watch this one with us. But I know that we're going to
1:56:46
lose you soon and then there it is there it is she says done
1:56:51
mowing. I guess y'all are going to come
1:56:53
shower with me. So yes Rainey, we're coming to
1:56:56
shower with you Don't worry. You can catch the tail end of
1:56:59
this, don't I? I got a feeling that we're we're
1:57:02
about to land this plane here here pretty pretty soon unless
1:57:08
we're here for Shando and then and I got Twitter up.
1:57:11
I don't usually have any of. This Stuff Up podcast, Emergency
1:57:14
podcast, is now going to where we're starting now in three.
1:57:18
Good happen tomorrow and 1:00. And go and look here we.

1:57:30
coming in with some breaking news.
1:57:31
Like, yeah, that's exactly how our our energy goes a whole
1:57:33
different direction, doesn't it at that point.
1:57:36
It's hard for me to get past Danny wanting us to go shower
1:57:39
with her. OK, I'm going to be honest.
1:57:42
We got lost. I got lost.
1:57:44

He. Just walked in.
1:58:55
Oh, there's. That's the guy.

We can't end up just showing the whole damn Bubba Show tonight,
1:59:12

1:59:14
just walked in. I just noticed him.
1:59:15
I hadn't seen him all night until you just like Bowser's for
1:59:19
a minute. Bowser's alive.
1:59:19
Bowser's alive. He's here.
1:59:24
He's talking to the. Deer can, guy, They're together.
1:59:27
Yeah, even Corey Corey's got on sunglasses, too.
1:59:32
He's always got sunglasses. On Unbelievable last night, he
1:59:35
had no shirt on. I just stopped over here.
1:59:37
There was so weird situation going.
1:59:39
He walked. He was like, I don't have a
1:59:41
shirt on. Like it's obvious.
1:59:43
You know, I know everything out in here.
1:59:45
Where's your shirt? Which is strange.
1:59:47
I don't there was probably be a good because I never seen
1:59:50
without a shirt on like. I don't know what happened
1:59:52
there. I just stopped there.
1:59:55
I stopped short. Well, I.
1:59:57
Terrible. Turbo, turbo, turbo.
2:00:02
I'm trying to find where we brought that in the show, The
2:00:09
show that we got from Bubba this week.
2:00:11
Y'all is, I'm looking at it. It's crazy.
2:00:15
It's pretty good. There's a Murph appearance.
2:00:20
Yeah. Dude I'm just watching all.
2:00:24
This stuff we can't. We're not going to one up big
2:00:27
rust #1 the video, the video, the video is not that good.
2:00:32
The video is not that good. I thought it was top quality.
2:00:35
No, your video is top quality. I'm talking about the video the
2:00:40
screen share of but we don't need to show anybody else.
2:00:46
The youth of America do not need to know how to rip.
2:00:49
All. It doesn't need to be seen again
2:00:52
someone. Is going to cut their dumb
2:00:54
mouths down is. Give us an Give us an Arsenio.
2:01:00
Oh. Now I got to give you guys a
2:01:03
story since you were talking about the strip club.
2:01:05
OK, sure. OK.
2:01:07
My silly son wanted to have a big 30th birthday, so we went to
2:01:14
Atlanta. His lovely wife, Goddess,
2:01:16
beautiful box at the Braves game.
2:01:20
Oh, yeah, that's nice. Well, we got there early and we
2:01:24
went to Top Golf and all that, and all of a sudden they said,
2:01:27
hey, we got to go to a strip club in Atlanta.
2:01:32
I'm 54 years old. I voted against that.
2:01:36
Big Russ, explain the strip club laws in Atlanta, if you will
2:01:41
'cause. I'm not.
2:01:42
Familiar. They are.
2:01:45
Nude all the. Way all nude.
2:01:50
It's like All Access for Justin Moore, but it's all nude.
2:01:54
Yeah. So.
2:01:55
Atlanta, if you. Long story short, Big Russ got
2:02:01
exited out of the strip club with his son.
2:02:07
How the hell did this happen? Well, there was a particular
2:02:12
stripper that no, no secret room, no nothing.
2:02:16
You know, trying to give a dirty 30 to my son at the bar.
2:02:21
Oh my. And mind you, his wife knows all
2:02:24
about this. And I'm just sitting there and
2:02:28
she danced for probably 90 seconds and then he gave her
2:02:33
money and we all gave her money. And then she came up, she tried
2:02:36
to shake us down for another 290 bucks.
2:02:41
And she already got like for not, not exactly.
2:02:45
So last night. So I said, listen, lovely lady,
2:02:49
you already made, you know, almost 250 bucks in 90 seconds.
2:02:56
And I said, you're not getting your money.
2:02:59
So she went and got the bouncer and I told him well and we're
2:03:02
going to have a problem here and my big ass got throwing the hell
2:03:07
out of there. It didn't last long. 92nd The
2:03:15
92nd dance and it caught. 92nd Dance.
2:03:19
So that had to be either the Gold Club or the.
2:03:21
Cheetah. It was a cheetah.
2:03:26
There it is, there it. Is so that was, you know, I'm
2:03:29
sorry about that, but. Yeah, sorry.
2:03:33
Not, not quite sorry. Are you big Russ?
2:03:36
Yeah, I. Wasn't that sorry?
2:03:39
Yeah. Right, like Rainey says a lovely
2:03:42
lady. I'm sure, I'm sure she was.
2:03:44
She was very lovely, very nice until she wanted some more
2:03:48
money. Until she wasn't.
2:03:53
And you think I'm a big guy? Those bouncers are real big.
2:03:57
They're the real deal, aren't they?
2:03:59
They'll throw my ass especially. When they pair up together, you
2:04:01
know, I mean, they come in here and twos like like Noah's Ark,
2:04:06
you know? Yeah, like apparently I got to
2:04:09
leave. I was drunk in the strip club.
2:04:12
He threw me in the public. Man.
2:04:19
Is right. Sorry about that youth of today.
2:04:22
No, no, hey, look, youth of America, it's what you need to
2:04:25
learn. This is some of the things that
2:04:28
that's what. You those are mistakes you know
2:04:30
have to. Watch out.
2:04:31
That's right. That's right.
2:04:32
Like Randy says, life is full of good stories just like that.
2:04:38
They are. They are.
2:04:39
And look, I really right kind of cut this thing down right here
2:04:45
at the end, but this has been a fantastic episode.
2:04:47
I think it's the longest episode.
