This Might Be the Most Honest Show Yet · Tigs Bits Podcast

0:00
When you and I chatted yesterday and talked about all of this,
0:04
your analogy of what we've become, I could not, couldn't be
0:10
more perfect. We've turned into the Eagles,
0:12
but we don't have the lawyers in the legal back and forth.
0:15
We're not. Yeah, we're talking trash.
0:16
Yeah, we're all good. Places going to come back next
0:19
week and be like Brantley J Rs fired.
0:21
I don't want I'm not taking no for an answer.
0:22
J Rs out piss on him. He's out.
0:25
We don't want him around no more.
0:26
And Brantley, you got to stick with me.
0:28
And I'll be like, come on. What's going on, Bubba Army?
0:40
Welcome to this week's episode of Tigs Bits.
0:46
Look, you probably noticed some things shifting a little bit.
0:49
We've been doing a few or fewer live shows.
0:53
We've been dialing things in a little bit behind the curtain.
0:56
There's been a whole lot of conversation about what this
0:59
thing is and where it's going. And just this week, Jr. has made
1:06
it official. He's going to launch his own
1:09
solo show. And I'll be honest, when I first
1:12
heard it, I had a million emotions.
1:15
I was excited, kind of curious, maybe a little pissed off, maybe
1:19
even a little bit hurt, but also relieved because truthfully,
1:24
we've all been kind of pulling in different directions and it's
1:27
time for us to own that. So we're going to do that
1:30
tonight. We're going to unpack it.
1:32
We're going to let Jr. share what he's cooking up.
1:35
We're going to talk about what all of this means for the future
1:39
of Tigs Bits. What's next for me?
1:42
What's next for the feed, What's next for all of us.
1:45
And yeah, what role does Blasey have with all of this moving
1:49
forward 'cause he isn't here tonight, unfortunately.
1:52
He's on the road. He's busy as all get out,
1:55
rocking and rolling. He's swamped.
1:57
He couldn't join us this week. He apologizes, but I got a
2:01
feeling we'll get a response from him.
2:03
Next week we'll get if. If this was live, we'd get a
2:07
response tonight. If there's a way.
2:09
If he could figure out how to tap into this, he would.
2:13
He must be really busy with work because, you know, he.
2:15
Loves this stuff. Oh yeah.
2:17
I mean, this is, this is Bubba Army.
2:20
This is we're going to do our very own inside baseball, Bubba
2:25
Army. Like, let's just get in to it.
2:28
Completely. That's, that's the side, yeah,
2:31
that's the double side of the the coin there.
2:33
It's like, oh man, I miss having Blasey here.
2:36
You know, I know he's busy, but on the other end, oh, it's easy
2:38
to have a good punching bag when they're not here.
2:41
Always. Yes, so Lacy will be the butt of
2:44
most jokes tonight. We'll go ahead and preface the
2:45
show with that. Yeah, and it just set it totally
2:49
set, totally sets it up. He's going, you know, he'll come
2:52
in hot with the rebuttal of this one.
2:55
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
2:56
I think I've already kind of got the name of this show, The
2:59
Deconstruction of Tigs Bits, Part 1.
3:03
It's like next week, the continuation.
3:06
Yeah, it's like a fan some fancy meal in Philadelphia or
3:08
something. They're deconstructing bananas.
3:09
That's exactly right. Just so it's ultimately still
3:13
the same beautiful dish, it's just been deconstructed and put
3:16
around a different way. So look, this ain't no funeral.
3:20
It costs a lot more it. Costs a lot more.
3:22
Exactly. I wish Blasey was here.
3:24
You know, I hate he's got those stuff, but he really has.
3:26
He's been slammed. And like you said earlier about
3:29
doing the show. Yeah, Nobody, nobody stressed.
3:32
We're we're all with Tigs bits. We'll live on forever.
3:34
This will keep doing this show. It's it'll keep rolling as
3:37
normal. But yeah, I think I am going to
3:39
start doing a short little show just about music and stuff and
3:46
to tie into that. Yeah.
3:47
Well, you know, Blasey's just hammer with work.
3:49
I get it. I've got to work on weekends and
3:51
I've got weird schedules when I'm.
3:52
I can't work, I can't record for a week and then you've got
3:55
certain times you got to do what you got to do and you've got
3:57
kids and I mean, everybody's just got scheduled.
3:59
It's tough. I said that since Jump Street
4:01
when we were doing when I was Justin and I were doing a
4:03
podcast together, doing his podcast that and when we talked
4:08
to other people, I would say if you can do it and together, it's
4:11
a whole lot easier doing it Remote is hard enough anyway.
4:15
Then you add in not when it's not like us 3 all work at the
4:19
same restaurant or radio station or TV station.
4:24
What we don't all work together to have the same off time, same
4:26
on time, you know, So it's like our dictating our schedules is,
4:30
is around a lot more factors than just what we want to do
4:33
that day obviously, or what we can commit out to because
4:37
stuff's ever evolving. You know, if we say next month,
4:40
let's plan on doing this at 3:00, I mean, the chances of all
4:44
three of us getting to have that date hold.
4:46
I've said this the whole time, every single week.
4:49
I'm not going to lie, once we moved to doing ATV show with
4:55
right now TV doing our Bubba exclusive podcast, trying to do
4:59
our own Just show that we do to throw in some lives in there as
5:04
well. Yeah, you kind of random and
5:07
some random content and random. Content, stuff like that.
5:10
But it getting the three of us together is almost like getting
5:14
struck by lightning or finding a needle in a haystack.
5:17
That's just the, it's just the truth and that's OK, That's OK.
5:21
It's where it's at. That's where it's at.
5:24
We're going to keep being able to get together, but we need to
5:27
just do it like one time a week or once every 10 days or
5:31
something like that so that it fits into all three of our
5:35
schedules better. And then thus we had to trim the
5:39
fat. We trim the fat with the TV
5:41
show, which is, God, it's helped me so much.
5:43
It really has that slowed me down.
5:46
Not going to lie, man, that slowed all of us.
5:47
It slowed us down. You can.
5:50
You can, but you can scratch that off the list of of of
5:53
achievements but on TV. We did a TV show, baby.
5:56
At ATV show, I mean you, you say what you want, but we had ATV
5:59
show for a second, you know, and, and it was cool and and and
6:02
thankful for those guys and gals over there shot and giving us a
6:05
spot. I still have the app on my TVI
6:07
turn it on every now and then. It's a great.
6:09
Channel, it's a great channel. I still I'm still a big fan.
6:12
I hope we can all get to some level we can get back and doing
6:15
something on their channel would be ideal And and and would have
6:19
kept the there. It was.
6:20
It was nothing on them. It was totally on us.
6:22
Work workload was too much. You know, we we were rocking and
6:25
rolling when we had some down time and when the the season
6:28
kicked back off for everybody, it just was was too much and
6:31
they understand and and we're all good buddies still.
6:33
So that worked out great. And for us, yes, I mean, I mean,
6:36
it's, it's a joke, but it's true.
6:38
We I mean, we checked that off the list.
6:39
We got that done. So back to doing what we really
6:42
all wanted to do was do podcast and it's gotten hard to get them
6:45
together and we're going to make sure we dial it in and have more
6:49
quality than quantity. As far as the Tigs bit show here
6:52
on the bub exclusive and things we do.
6:56
That's another thing. I love Blasey being able to dial
6:58
us in with some Bubba stuff because he usually he gets up
7:01
earlier than I do. I just be honest with you.
7:03
All my Bubba content comes from the podcast and I love all the
7:07
podcasts that I listen to, but having him to do the banter on
7:11
that and, and then just, and having time to do what, you
7:15
know, deep dive into more things instead of trying to cover such
7:19
a broad spectrum. Sometimes that's kind of what I
7:21
want to do with the show. I'm I'm I'm going to try to do
7:24
is just lean into the music stuff, the current events, the
7:28
trending topics, the and then and then doing it by myself and
7:32
not having to work around anyone schedule on my own.
7:36
You want to record at 1:00 AM, Like, oh shit.
7:39
It's just, I just something came across, you got something.
7:42
You had an immediate thought, go turn the camera on record.
7:46
And I mean, that totally makes sense.
7:48
That makes total sense to me. That's what I started doing a
7:52
little bit more of. And I'm like, just to be honest,
7:56
we don't have to go live four nights a week to get content.
7:59
I mean, if there's something that's trending and it's like,
8:02
oh Dang, I can hit this record button on the phone and give you
8:06
a take. I've told more than one person
8:08
this, and it's just a fact. Looking at analytics, I can turn
8:12
the phone on on Instagram or whatever, turn the camera on,
8:16
wave at the damn thing and say y'all have a great day see ya
8:21
and that thing will get more views then something that I
8:25
could sit here and Polish or any piece of a long form content or
8:29
something like that. That's just the world.
8:32
I know I live in right now, unfortunately, and it changes
8:35
every couple of years. So who knows what the what's on
8:37
the horizon. Yeah, and you're right.
8:39
But First off, if if I'm up at 1:00 AM doing a podcast,
8:42
somebody has sabotaged me with some Peruvian marching powder or
8:45
something because OJR don't stay up doing nothing.
8:48
J Rs J Rs energy level at 1:00 AM is drastically diminished
8:52
over the years. Not saying I can't like the
8:54
great Toby Keith song. I ain't as good as I once was,
8:56
but I'm good once I ever was. So I can don't let it, don't let
8:59
the don't let the, the new attitude fool you.
9:02
I, I could dust them off if I needed to, but I digress.
9:08
But no. So and being able to do it on
9:10
on, on a, on a, a time frame. I was talking to a buddy of mine
9:13
the other day and you know, I was telling him I was like,
9:16
because he and I were talking and this was before I was going
9:19
to try to record some stuff here to try to make sure all my
9:22
things work because that's my big that's my thing.
9:26
I don't know how to do any of the tech in of the tech in.
9:28
I have no, no talent on that at all.
9:31
So I've learned a little bit and luckily Cody, my great friend
9:35
via Villalobos, Cody Villalobos is going to help me make sure to
9:39
get all that done. So I was trying to make sure all
9:41
that worked and, and I didn't know if I didn't know if I'd be
9:47
able to, to, to get all the, the things work because you've been
9:50
doing it this way and it's worked great now for, you know,
9:54
years and, and, you know, handling that.
9:57
So, but I was telling my buddy right before I started recording
10:00
that, that we had to quit talking because we kept, we kept
10:04
just chit chat and I was like, man, I got a, I'll call you
10:06
after this. I said this is what I do a lot
10:08
of times if I catch something during the day when I'm fresh
10:11
and I tell if I've got to tell some or somebody, run into
10:15
somebody and we talk about it and I've passed the conversation
10:18
around four or five times by the time I tell it that sixth time.
10:21
Yeah, it's good. Some it's probably not as good.
10:24
Sometimes it can be. If it's a it's a real good one.
10:26
You can Polish it up and dial it in like a like a bit or
10:28
something. But if it's just a normal
10:30
something that normal that that first pop is usually because
10:33
then it's like it's like the person who walks up at the end
10:35
of the conversation like what? What y'all talking about?
10:37
You're like crap. All right, let me figure in.
10:39
All right. Yeah.
10:41
So sometimes it's just better that way and, and, and sometimes
10:45
it's it, you know, you just fresher as, as, as, as, as what
10:50
day it is. You know, some days you wake up
10:52
feeling froggy and some days you just groggy.
10:54
You know what I mean? You just don't know.
10:56
So that way in my schedule, you know, I can, I'll be able to try
10:58
to get them in early in the week, like Monday around
11:00
lunchtime or so, because that's usually home time, you know, for
11:04
me and, and, and I understand, but for everyone else, Monday at
11:08
lunchtime is the beginning of the first day of the work week.
11:11
I get it. But yeah, yeah.
11:12
I work on Fridays and Saturdays, you know, so it's just so, but
11:17
I'll be able to do that. And then also with a lot of the
11:19
people I want to have on and do do things with, it's going to be
11:22
easy just to connect one way with them on a Zoom call real
11:26
fast or call them on the phone and just put it on the speaker.
11:29
Kind of with random people that I hope everybody wouldn't will
11:33
enjoy these conversations and, and, and stories and stuff, but
11:36
just some just a lot of random people from music and it'll be
11:39
just mostly centered around music and touring and.
11:42
Yeah, kind of like a Tales from the Road in a sense, but with,
11:46
but not a Tales from the Road. But you will tell some tales
11:50
from the Road, but you'll talk to some people.
11:52
Just story. Definitely a lot of that a lot
11:55
of fun stuff and hope to get some juicy stuff.
11:57
But you know, everybody's got Indies and a lot of us are still
11:59
that's what's the difference in Pat.
12:01
Somebody was saying you need to be like the Pat McAfee of of of
12:03
that space. And I'm like, that's great
12:06
because you know, if Pat was on team, I'm on the team, I get it.
12:08
But Pat's not in the league anymore and I'm still in the
12:11
league. So, right, just go full tilt,
12:14
you know, whatever. You know you can't.
12:16
You can't start calling out people.
12:19
But I'm still actually, but I'm going to shoot it straight.
12:21
I'm just not going. I'm not going to.
12:23
But I don't do that anyway. I don't call.
12:24
I don't say negative things on social media.
12:26
I don't you know, I'm I'm, I'm going to throw positivity or
12:29
nothing kind of deal. And but I'll just you know, I
12:32
just, you know, but I'm sure there'll be some people who but
12:36
just some random people. And I want because I really want
12:38
to shine the light a little bit too about the touring industry,
12:40
because I think most people, like I did before getting in at
12:43
your conception of the jobs and roles there are out there, what
12:47
you like. Well, I can be the I'd be the
12:48
bass player, I'd be the drummer. You know, nobody thinks I'll be
12:51
the tour manager or I'll be the lighting director or the stage
12:55
manager, all that. And these are all great jobs and
12:57
at a high level are just as rewarding as any other career,
13:00
you know what I mean? So it's like I want to shine a
13:03
light on a little of that. Let everybody, you know, the
13:05
different people because I think a lot of the, I mean, you know,
13:09
everybody's different. But I know what I laugh at and
13:12
what I think is funny. And I've met a lot of funny cats
13:15
and with some with some interesting personalities on the
13:17
road. And if I can get them to give a
13:19
little glimpse of what they give when we're out there, be it free
13:23
on these things, people don't. I just know.
13:26
I just know. Oh, it would just crank.
13:28
And Monday's good for most people in that biz too.
13:31
Like all my, I mean most we don't work on Mondays.
13:33
You don't have concerts on Monday sometimes, but it's not
13:36
most people are home something like.
13:38
Hairdressers in good restaurants.
13:40
Right. Well, I mean really though, you
13:43
think we all, you know, most everybody works the weekends or
13:46
or most of the week. Mondays and Tuesdays are usually
13:48
your home days. So hopefully it'll work.
13:50
I can play that in be able to have some different people.
13:54
I want to do a short thing and it's just music boom boom boom
13:57
topics, you know, I. Mean, how long are you wanting
13:59
to keep these shows to 2030 minutes or less?
14:03
Yeah, like, well, like 3045 minutes.
14:05
Yeah, that'd be great if there's.
14:07
Something, if there's something to do, if there's some stuff to
14:10
talk about, well, and to me, I'd be honest with you and I don't
14:12
want to stay on this because this is just going to be like I
14:16
said, it'll be it'll be it's affiliated with Tigbits,
14:19
obviously so. Of course, yeah.
14:22
So we'll post all that stuff and but I'm not, I'm going to do
14:25
Tigbits every week too and still post things specifically for
14:28
Tigbits. Be very clear about that, yeah.
14:30
And I want to bring all the music lovers from the Bubba army
14:33
on that would enjoy that. Come on, check it out, spread
14:35
the love on that. And and you know, obviously I
14:37
know the the the boys and Bubba and gals at Bubba's spot.
14:40
They all go to concerts and stuff.
14:42
I want to open. I've, you know, I've mentioned
14:43
that before. I'm like they had they were had
14:45
some something at a Morgan show or something.
14:47
I'm like, you know, I told them they need anything in music.
14:49
Let me know. I mean, tour man, mortgage tour
14:50
man is my guy. I'm sure if I needed to get
14:52
Bubba some way to get parked his vehicle or something, I'm sure
14:54
we can make that happen. I probably couldn't get you 20
14:56
tickets or no meet and greets or nothing but.
14:58
Right. Funny to get somebody a.
15:00
Statistical things, Bubba and Seth.
15:02
And Lummy and them need some help.
15:03
They're a big time spot and that's where they're playing.
15:06
I'm sure I could have made some. But anyway, I want to let I want
15:09
to make sure they know that that, that that world's open.
15:11
And then let's that's all intertwine.
15:13
That's all intermingle, you know what I mean?
15:14
And that's like, and I want to dig more, you know, with, with
15:17
the stuff you're going to do when we get in talking about
15:19
more of the food and the, and the, the, the things like that
15:22
and the festivals and all that kind of stuff.
15:23
And it's, I just think it's going to be great.
15:26
I think we're going to, I think we did exactly what we were
15:28
supposed to do because you were doing a show.
15:31
Blasey was as just the golden throat as we know.
15:34
That's, I mean, he's good looks and gold.
15:35
But let's be honest here. Blasey's Blasey's really smart.
15:38
He's super good at sports and he's got the best voice of
15:41
anybody we know. That's why he has a job here.
15:46
True story. I mean, I really, I mean he's
15:49
kind of my boss still, but you know, but he, but he, and he's
15:52
obviously my idol and hero. I've said that for years.
15:54
But, but that's it. But, but Tiggs did this.
15:56
Tiggs has done this for a long time.
15:57
I and that's the thing. I, I, I knew going into doing a
15:59
lot of podcasts, it was going, we were going to get, you know,
16:02
because we did. I did a lot of podcasts with
16:04
Justin during that time. There was a lot of other smaller
16:06
podcasts. So I was doing some other ones
16:08
and helping some friends and this and that.
16:09
So I knew how hard it could be to try to to, to keep up that
16:13
pace. But I think what we what we did
16:17
is US three coming from different worlds, from sports
16:20
and and Blasey's just, you know, life and then well-rounded my
16:25
music. Yeah. well-rounded.
16:26
Yeah. I mean, he's, he's he's, he's
16:28
had world records and stuff. And I really guess it's crazy.
16:33
I mean, I've seen him do this. I watched him beat a person.
16:36
I've watched him beat Troy's track person at a track event
16:40
when he was an alumni. And this person was like Troy's
16:42
current track person. He was like a graduate.
16:45
He was like, like a graduate. Coming back to like get some.
16:49
Credits for something. They probably don't.
16:51
Y'all listen don't really realize just I mean how much of
16:54
A freak athlete Blasey is and they even he's like a chick and
16:59
doesn't want his age revealed but like he's in his lower 50s.
17:03
Yeah, but he's what I'm saying. Blasey blasey of a. 25 year old.
17:07
Yeah, yeah, it it. I mean, that's what I'm saying.
17:10
Well, he was, I don't know how old he was.
17:11
I don't wanna mess that story, but Blasey was had graduated and
17:14
was coming back doing some class or maybe just still living in
17:16
Troy for a minute or something. He during like Greek week and
17:18
some he went out there and smoked the Troy's track person
17:21
and like a like in like the 100 yard or something.
17:24
That's freaking amazing. He took out their person, you
17:27
know, and I'm sure he had a few, the whole ones the night before.
17:29
But anyway, I digress on that too.
17:31
But I think that's what we needed to do all come together,
17:34
get to know each other, hone our hone our craft a little bit and
17:39
then figure out where, what our, what our wheelhouse is, what our
17:42
specialty is, what the, you know, we can all, we can all
17:44
keep making these different dishes.
17:45
But you know, everybody's got their dish they like to make
17:47
most and what's what everybody likes the most.
17:50
Exactly, exactly. I think when you and I chatted
17:53
yesterday and talked about all of this, your analogy of what
17:59
we've become, I could not, couldn't be more perfect.
18:03
And crazy enough, I saw, I listen listen to Conan O'Brien
18:07
today and they talked about the same band we've turned into the
18:11
Eagles. But we don't have the lawyers in
18:13
the legal back and forth. We're not.
18:15
Yeah, we're talking trash. Yeah, we're all good.
18:18
But but that analogy is perfect. Like the Eagles, when they're
18:21
together and you go see an Eagles show, most kick ass band
18:24
in the world, all of them individually, most kick ass
18:28
individuals in the world. That's all we are.
18:31
We're just. And they all, and they all those
18:32
people started in other bands. That wasn't their first band.
18:35
They were all in other bands, came together, became great, had
18:39
greatness afterwards, still greatness.
18:42
Yeah, that's and that's, and that's the thing.
18:44
I think we're just going to get more.
18:45
And that's what they want to do. That's saying that's the reason
18:47
it was artistic. A creative difference is what
18:50
they'll call it. But it was basically this one
18:52
going to rock, this one wanted to do that, this one want to do
18:54
this kind of music, this one want to have a horn section,
18:56
this one have two drummers. So they all made the records
18:59
they wanted to make. We all bought them.
19:00
They were great records too. Hell yeah they were.
19:03
Hell yeah, they. Are the matter that was that was
19:08
that was that was the Glenn Frey era Miami Vice songs and stuff.
19:14
Yeah. I mean, it was awesome.
19:16
And Joe Wall still rocking as always.
19:18
I mean, yeah. And dude, yeah, no doubt.
19:21
I mean, I think. And I think, and I think during
19:23
that time, Timothy B Schmidt went and went on the road with
19:26
Buffett from then on and played huge shows with Buffett for a
19:31
long time, I think. Damn.
19:33
Yeah, I mean, that's the thing. You and I talked about it.
19:36
I probably wrote and got and wrote and got songwriting.
19:39
I mean, probably, you know, had a bigger role than just playing
19:41
bass in the band. But he went over to a big band
19:43
like the Coral Reefers at the time, You know, they, they've
19:45
been, they were rocking until Jimmy laid it down.
19:47
They were big band. Seeing that that what you just
19:50
said is the kind of stuff that you're going to get on J Rs
19:53
podcast and that's what's incredible.
19:56
And we talked a little bit about this too.
19:58
You can dive into some of that and go down this road, this
20:01
rabbit hole of. Just random things like that,
20:06
you know, just with all of that. And it doesn't really always
20:10
flow in this show in in our environment.
20:13
But when you're just locked in doing your deal and that stuff
20:17
comes out or you're talking to Tracy Lawrence or whoever,
20:21
Justin's on your whatever, then it's just going to flow out.
20:25
You're in your wheelhouse. I get excited when we talk about
20:28
food. I mean, look at me.
20:30
I love to eat, that's obvious. But we all love to eat.
20:32
But I love good food. And that's something that seems
20:36
to resonate with folks on social media and all of that.
20:39
So I mean, we're still talking music, culture, sports.
20:43
We're still going to talk about those things on this show,
20:46
Bubba. We're.
20:48
Going to say we're going to say Bubba's name a lot because he
20:50
loves well. I think while we're talking
20:53
about this Jr. you and I kind of had a little brainstorming
20:57
session yesterday. You mentioned something and then
21:00
I had 24 hours to think about it of how we could make it work.
21:06
And I think this is what you were trying to say and you
21:08
probably said it in those words. I was just, I was driving and
21:11
couldn't hear too good because of the road.
21:13
But I think this is kind of what you were, what you were saying.
21:18
I think the best course of action of us being going solo,
21:22
if you will, all three of us doing our own thing.
21:26
Blasey still won't. He's doing like food reviews and
21:29
that kind of stuff when he can at some of these awesome places.
21:32
But look, I mean, you, you, you can't do that every single week
21:36
and you got, but every now and then.
21:38
It's great. I get it.
21:39
But I think Blasey's biggest role will be the same thing that
21:44
got us to the table with all of this with Bubba.
21:47
And what it should have probably been this whole time is Blasey
21:52
needs to host this show, this Bubba exclusive that we are
21:56
doing. He needs to be the host.
21:59
He needs to come in with the agenda of what we're going to
22:02
talk about, have his takes. We can come in like if we build
22:06
a structure to this show that redneck stories, you know, world
22:12
of Bubba this week. What it whatever whatever's
22:18
coming from your show and music? Yep, whatever's coming from my
22:21
show and food. Yep, And then there's your show
22:25
and you're going to get the best of what you're doing over there
22:27
solo. You're going to get the best of
22:29
what I'm doing over here solo. And then you're going to get the
22:32
best of energy of from Bubba from that, you know, coming from
22:37
coming from Blasey, who knows more about Bubba and the Bubba
22:40
army than me and you put together times 10.
22:43
I mean, let's just be honest. Yep.
22:44
So I think that that that would be a great, I think that'd be a
22:49
great change. And that's what I hope that we
22:51
can, you know, move that see right there before next week.
22:55
Yeah, I just had a thought how that'll all bleed over too,
22:57
'cause I want to have Gary Cantrell come on the show and
23:00
let me. He and I talk about music and
23:02
filming shows and stuff. We come on there that that
23:05
double S as bubble. We have him and then we'll all
23:07
do the show. He come on the show together
23:09
with us for that. Oh, that Things like share
23:12
clips. From shows that you're doing or
23:15
you get a guest on there we. And we, and if we do it, if we
23:18
do it like that too, and we do them, you know, days or, you
23:22
know, within a week or two of each other, it's like sometimes
23:25
we do these and like we don't see each other for a long time.
23:28
So you really don't get to catch up properly.
23:29
But if you do it frequently enough, you should, you know
23:33
what I mean? You get to better stuff.
23:34
You can get in there better with stuff, you know, but I agree, I
23:37
think that's definitely if he's down for it.
23:39
I think that's why because he always that's, you know, he he
23:42
likes it anyway. That's his bad.
23:43
I mean, not that we don't, but you know what I mean.
23:44
He's he's in Florida. He picks it up, like I said,
23:46
early. He hell, he gets up early.
23:47
He's it's low chances of me listening to it.
23:50
My my boss has a morning show in Arkansas and I have the app on
23:52
my phone and I have a free call in anytime I want.
23:55
I get, I get me about once every three months because I don't, I
24:00
am up before 9:00 in the morning, but that's 10:00
24:05
Eastern Time over in Florida, so.
24:09
Yeah, which is the the end of the bubble show.
24:11
But I'm not in A and that's what I tell people.
24:12
I'm not, I ain't really JRDL. I'm up, up and got a shower and
24:15
ready to go, right? I'm not.
24:17
I'm not that I'm cranky, but I'm just not.
24:19
You got to give me a. Minute locked in.
24:20
Just a minute, Yeah. Let me give me just a minute.
24:23
Just. Get your mind right, get get
24:25
balanced out. You know.
24:27
Yes. I mean, it takes it took Nick
24:29
Bockwinkle a minute to get all them long multi syllable words
24:33
going when he was the N.W.A world champion of Minneapolis
24:35
back in the day. We're going to talk about that
24:37
on my podcast too, But but no, so so I think that would be
24:41
great And but I'm still gonna list them the podcast too.
24:44
So I could drop that on there and we could just we could just
24:46
repackages it more like I said, and put Blacy it let him run
24:50
that. Let him, I think.
24:51
We could even throw this out here.
24:53
We could even rename that show and rebrand the whole damn
24:57
thing. I mean, I think it needs I
25:00
don't, I don't know. I mean y'all let us know.
25:02
I'm not, I'm not saying that's the craziest idea.
25:04
I. Don't think it's a crazy idea.
25:06
You know, it could be. You mentioned I think you just
25:09
were throwing it out yesterday. Like Operation Blossy, the one
25:12
man posse. Hell, that's a great name, you
25:14
know. He's got so many gimmicks and
25:17
he's in. They love him.
25:18
Yeah. We're the boys.
25:20
You work with them all the time and you're.
25:22
They love them all. But they love Blossy.
25:25
They love Blossy. That's their guy.
25:27
I mean, I want to go. Still want to pop in.
25:29
You know, we all have our certain roles.
25:31
Blossy's a character. I mean, he's a character, no
25:34
doubt. Just say the least.
25:35
But he but in there. But he fits.
25:37
I mean, it's perfect. This is just a vision.
25:39
I can see all this. It's like a Mike Judge cartoon
25:42
playing out in my head. Yes, it's there.
25:44
Well, the here's the thing, we and more behind the scenes, like
25:49
we had a, we all three had a meeting in January, kind of like
25:53
let's move in this direction. And it was more so put on by me
25:58
because I know what what I'm doing with the show and what
26:01
we're doing. The daily grind of, of producing
26:04
all of this and getting the content out, all of that.
26:08
It's like, look, I know that we can move in this direction and
26:12
start to do better, even better than we're doing because we're
26:16
getting followers over there. I mean, it's like, it's like
26:19
social media is just waving a flag.
26:21
Like, hey, dumbass, if you want attention, come over here and do
26:24
this. This is what the people like,
26:26
okay, we get it. Which is, which is it resonated
26:30
because it's something that we all like.
26:32
So that started our conversations and we've got, you
26:35
know, we had a great conversation.
26:37
Blasey and I had another meeting and kind of broke everything
26:40
down. We're all on the same page.
26:42
So it's not like there's any dissension or anything like
26:46
that. No, the bottom line is that we
26:48
just, we need to figure out our time.
26:50
I think this makes the whole thing way more creative.
26:54
We all are going to be focused, laser focused on what I, what we
26:58
are good at and making content. Yes.
27:02
I mean. And and and and even further for
27:04
the bubble army that gives them three shows they can air
27:06
whatever they want to. Yeah, hell yeah.
27:08
I mean. You know what I'm saying?
27:10
And it's more and it's more niche, which nobody's doing a
27:13
food show on their thing. Nobody's doing a music show on
27:15
their thing. And our and our thing is.
27:18
And then our Bubba. Whatever our thing that may, we
27:20
could turn up our attention to Bubba because we're not trying
27:23
to fit in three other topics that we wanted to that week.
27:27
We can dedicate instead of 10 or 15 minutes to Bubba.
27:29
Stuff we can do 25 minutes, thirty minutes of Bubba stuff
27:33
and, you know, and give Blasey something to dial in and we can
27:35
still go off of conspiracy theories and.
27:38
That's not that stuff's going let.
27:41
Me tell you this, this is what I'm, I'm thinking this whole
27:43
thing. And I'm glad we're not live
27:44
actually, because I'm just thinking, man, I hope Blasey's
27:47
in a good mood and he hears this podcast for the first time.
27:49
Because if he's not, if he's in the wrong mood, I'm not looking
27:52
forward to talking to it. Well, I wanted to ask, we're
27:56
2530 minutes into this, but probably maybe cut some of this.
28:01
Did you have you talked to? Has he?
28:02
Have you talked? I don't think we've said
28:04
anything. I'm thinking, I mean, I've known
28:06
blame, but you know, I mean, we I don't, I don't, I think he
28:09
would be like, well, we should run it by me, guys.
28:11
But but also that's just how this thing works, man.
28:14
You know, it's kind of like that.
28:16
We're not there's. Nothing wrong, that's what.
28:18
And he's like nothing wrong and. If he says no, I don't like the
28:21
idea of it. OK, back to the drawing board
28:25
then. But I think leading to what
28:26
you're saying, going back to what you're saying, I think
28:28
yeah, we keep it Tigs bits here for now.
28:30
If we can get the we can get the army to come up with a name for
28:32
the new blossy, the one man posse show.
28:35
Then we we rebrand the main Bubba show is that.
28:38
And then we we have the Tigs bits moves over to more of.
28:42
Tigs. Tonight the culture with the
28:44
with the food and the culture to that.
28:46
And I do the the Gerald the Handler show with with the music
28:49
thing and. Basically, Tigs Bits is now an
28:53
umbrella. We're a little mini network.
28:55
We're going to have Tigs Bits show Tigs tonight, the Bubba
28:59
exclusive, Jr. The Handler show.
29:02
What it that is going to be the name of your show, what have
29:04
you. I guess for now, I don't know
29:05
unless some, you know, something comes up, you know, and my thing
29:08
was kind of the same deal. It was kind of spurred on by,
29:11
you know, Cody, Justin's manager called and was like, you know,
29:15
we should do. He's I was going through these
29:16
old podcast from you and just he said, man, we got to do it and
29:18
that was other thing too. People been, you know, going
29:20
back to schedule people wearing me out ever since we haven't
29:23
done a Justin podcast about wanting to do 1 and I'm like I'm
29:26
down. I have way more and not that I
29:27
have I make I can make free time easier and he can he's got 4
29:30
kids. His kids are all in regular
29:32
school playing sports 1516 years old.
29:35
The oldest one had started driving up.
29:37
She has soon and yeah, all his are at they all play every
29:40
sport. It's not like there's one that
29:41
doesn't play anything. She just likes to read or
29:43
whatever. And none of that his all four
29:45
play every it's I don't know how they do it.
29:47
It blows my mind. So I don't harp on him.
29:49
I've mentioned a few times to him, I he he's down.
29:53
We just got to find time. And yeah, we ain't, we ain't
29:56
found it. And it's not, I mean, it's not,
29:58
it's not. And I will.
30:00
But this will give me a chance. I can just drag him on there
30:02
every now and then and give an update until he and I want.
30:05
And then we can use that clip. That'll be fun.
30:08
And and and we're that's what I'm thinking.
30:10
It's just going to be easier to cross pollinate stuff and use
30:13
from different. It's just going to broaden our.
30:15
It's going to be easier for you to get some of this content that
30:18
we've really needed on this show to help us grow.
30:21
It gives you a way to get that even if you put it on your
30:24
socials first or whatever. It's repurpose some over here on
30:28
this channel. It's like you said, Rising Tide
30:30
floats all ships. You know, that's what I'm
30:32
thinking and now that's why. And that goes back to the what
30:35
we were. We don't want to get off that
30:36
because Blasey's, you know, I don't want, I don't want Blasey
30:38
to feel slighted by any of this because of not trying to.
30:41
This is all just we're just talking it out loud.
30:43
And then then for content sake, I it's better to do this than
30:46
it's better to have this than not have it if we never use it.
30:49
We're using it. But I don't think I don't think
30:53
he's going to be opposed to it that because I know he's a rock
30:55
star and he but he's and he's A and he's a winner and he's going
30:57
to realize that Brantley's the leader of this thing.
31:00
And this is what we've come up with.
31:01
And we got the deal and we know we know what we're talking
31:04
about. He knows what he's he's going.
31:05
I think he's going to think the same way.
31:06
And normally we all, you know, we always agree on the same
31:09
thing, but usually we all three kind of about on the same page
31:12
on most stuff. So I don't think I think he'll
31:14
think it's a good idea and be ready to let's, let's that'll
31:19
give us something new to look forward to because we really
31:20
hadn't we've been honestly, we've all been so busy with life
31:23
and work. We really haven't had a, a fun
31:27
dive in anything out here. You know, we hadn't had a you
31:30
know, we no, that's what I'm saying.
31:32
It's been after the holidays. It's like back to work, a little
31:34
bit of Mardi Gras love, but we really have just we hadn't had
31:37
any of our contest any of you know, I mean, it's just been
31:41
we've been hammering. It's all we can do to get the
31:42
podcast done. That's it I mean that's it just
31:45
to get a show out and I think that doing it this way and I and
31:50
I haven't told you this R Blasey.
31:53
I texted Seth today and I haven't got a response back yet,
31:56
but I feel that it's pretty good.
31:58
This is just a setup potentially.
32:01
I was hoping to have it answered before we did this, but of we
32:06
want to have we just like we're saying, we want this show to
32:08
have more quality. We want it to be more quality
32:12
and less quantity. Even though you're not going to
32:14
really notice a difference, you're still getting a weekly
32:16
show. But I think that you listing out
32:18
there the Bubba Army in the Bubba exclusive, this truly
32:21
becomes the exclusive show it should be to where especially
32:27
now they're dropping our show on video.
32:30
They are we I've started sending the show in thanks to got to
32:34
give Andrew head over the line a shout out because he texted me.
32:38
He's like, I think he kind of pushed to have their show beat
32:41
the video version because it's a great video show to have that
32:44
their video version uploaded. And so I started sending ours in
32:48
again as well. And I've seen the last couple
32:51
have been posting them and some good feedback in there too,
32:54
which is fantastic. So love, love to see that.
32:58
So moving forward, we'll make this an exclusive show.
33:01
We won't air it. So like we go live sometimes and
33:04
do this show with with the audio with a live audience.
33:07
We're still going to do that. And that's still going to be a
33:10
lot of fun that we can interact with with everybody.
33:14
But whenever we put that show out, like I'm going to take it
33:18
down until Bubba and them release this exclusive show, and
33:23
then I'll put it on our channels after that, distribute it on my
33:26
stuff. Which is the way I think I've
33:28
always kind of thought it should be to make it an exclusive show
33:32
and then that makes it totally exclusive.
33:35
I'll put it out on our Patreon and stuff like that once I get
33:37
the edited version down. But that's what I've been doing
33:40
lately is taking our live show, putting it behind the scenes,
33:44
cutting it up, leveling our audios, making sure everything
33:47
sounds good, looks good. We don't freeze like we can do
33:50
sometimes in Stream Yard. Just Polish it up a little bit.
33:54
Doesn't take me long to do it, but it makes it just appear and
33:59
sound a lot better. When you're cranking out three a
34:01
week, you ain't got time for that.
34:03
Yeah, right. Absolutely.
34:04
The full time job and all that. Like it takes time to do all of
34:08
this stuff a lot more, I think a lot more than people think.
34:12
Oh, you know, and I'm and I'm realizing that by the 2nd if it
34:14
wasn't for Cody help me, there's no way I'd even attempt to do
34:17
this, you know, But he he's he said, you know, since the Justin
34:21
cast AI has changed things a lot.
34:25
He says a lot. He says it's just it's not as
34:28
he's he's his hours that he's going to have to spend doing
34:31
this is going to be cut down drastic one because it's just me
34:33
doing it instead of having two people stuff to mix together and
34:36
Yep, Yep. Because the way I that's a big
34:38
difference. It makes a big difference.
34:41
Because the way we do it different than than this show or
34:44
the way we did it and the way I'm going to do on my new show
34:47
is I'm using an external camera recording that to a memory
34:53
device. And I'm recording my audio on
34:56
Garage band and I'm recording on Zoom as a backup.
35:00
And then I'll you they'll take the audio from the Garage Band.
35:04
And he matches it. And matches it with my camera
35:06
and I have to upload that. It's a little bit more me and
35:09
I'm telling you that's the thing.
35:11
And we beat this to the in the ground back in the first of
35:13
Justice podcast. But it's just true.
35:14
I really am. So I have so little knowledge on
35:19
how this, it's all I can do to drag stuff around and get it to
35:21
where it goes. You know what I mean?
35:22
I mean, that is how elementary my computer skills are.
35:25
I remember going to college and thinking I don't need these
35:27
computers. I don't need to pay attention to
35:29
computer class. I am kicking myself in the butt
35:31
daily, I promise you. But so.
35:35
So if I didn't have Cody to hell, there's no way.
35:37
And I know that's a lot of news. So hopefully we can figure out a
35:39
way to get this done and get and get all this transitioned out of
35:42
Hope Lacy's cool with it. I hope you didn't stalk me.
35:46
I mean, look, there is hey. Or it could be the rebuttal show
35:50
of the century. It could be like this goes
35:52
scorched earth on our ass and it makes for like and it's like it
35:56
goes viral and Lacey gets to ascend to the heights he
35:58
deserves. I mean, I don't know, I.
36:01
Be the wrong reason he kills. His friends over a legit decent
36:04
idea, but I mean you know, crazy stranger things have happened.
36:07
I think honestly, he's going to be just fine with everything I
36:11
really do. That's and it.
36:12
But it goes to show with our show how difficult things have
36:16
been for us. Like time doesn't slow down,
36:20
time don't slow down, and we all have goals and things that we
36:24
want to do. Well, you know, that
36:25
conversation that we had was in was in January.
36:29
It's April 1st as we're recording this show and this
36:31
ain't no April Fool's joke. This is what we're doing.
36:35
But you know, we couldn't get together even today after after
36:39
what I would say is probably the biggest news in the history of
36:42
tigs bits since we've been doing it, but it's not a negative
36:46
thing. That's just.
36:47
And I didn't, I really, I had to go through my emotions to think
36:51
through everything. But my initial thoughts when I
36:54
read your text yesterday was exactly what I posted to you.
36:58
Hell yeah. I can't wait to listen or see
37:01
this. This is going to be awesome.
37:03
And that's the truth. I mean, that's really and truly
37:05
the way that I feel because I know you can go down a rabbit
37:09
hole of just music and you're shooting blanks over me and
37:13
Blasey's head and we just get that dead stare, you know?
37:17
Now, I wish you would have brought some of these guests on
37:19
the show, I'm not going to lie. But we'll still have and we
37:22
still bleed. Yeah, we will for sure.
37:24
We'll bleed over the ones that make sense and it'll it'll.
37:27
If nothing else, we'll have the interviews to put into stuff.
37:32
That's really what I want. Well, this will be able to get
37:35
more I'll be able to have more guests that may or may not fit
37:38
the show, but it'll give me an opportunity to know which ones
37:41
that because when I can pick that will fit the show and and
37:44
and and make sense, you know, and once y'all meet these
37:46
people, then y'all have then you have them on your show, though.
37:49
You want to talk about that? You got to go on my buddy
37:51
Brantley show. I mean, because a lot of these
37:52
people, if I find out they love that, what's what am I going to
37:55
say? Oh, you like that?
37:56
Check out my buddy Tigs and then next thing you know they're on
37:59
your show. They're on the Tigs tonight.
38:01
Bring them on and then we bring them and then they're friends
38:03
with you. Then they're friends with you
38:04
after an hour chopping or ever how long chopping it up with you
38:07
and and whoever you have to interact with with, whether I be
38:10
on the show with them or Austin or whoever else you have.
38:13
And then and then from that, then we're all buddies.
38:17
Then we bring them to Blasey show and we're already buddies.
38:20
We already know we have something to talk about.
38:22
They're in the conversation with us instead of me bringing a
38:24
stranger to Thanksgiving. You know what I mean?
38:26
It's like not and not that it's not always like that, but it it
38:29
almost makes it more interviewing and that's why the
38:31
ones I did bring on, I knew it would make sense.
38:35
They jailed. They were all good.
38:37
Like, I mean, Marty Smith is, yeah.
38:39
I feel like he's a buddy now. Like I had no problems talking
38:42
to him. And I knew I was like, these
38:44
will be good for that, because sometimes it can be like, you
38:48
know, it's interviewy. It's like we're not journalists
38:50
in that respect. You know, it's like it can be
38:53
when you feel like you got to ask questions or they feel like
38:55
this, they you know, it just. How much you bench?
38:58
Yeah. How much you bench?
38:59
So that's why, like him and Dallas and then like HUD and a
39:02
few others, you know, it's like I I knew that would all make
39:04
sense. So yeah.
39:05
And they'll be more of that and they'll be more of those.
39:07
And we can go down, we can go down some different roads a
39:10
little farther down the road. We don't have to stop at the
39:12
first bridge and turn around. We can keep going, you know,
39:14
Right, right on some of this stuff.
39:15
So I think it's going to be great.
39:17
Oh, I know it is. It's so the relief part of me
39:21
came of these are the chess pieces that we're trying to
39:25
dance around with and what we've been trying to make work.
39:28
And frankly, we're just kind of running in circles and it's like
39:31
the definition of insanity. So something had to give,
39:34
something had to give you. Making the move was the thing
39:37
that I was hoping somebody would do, like somebody one of you
39:43
just like we've got to figure, so we got to do something
39:46
different. We need to do another show or do
39:48
something else to so it's perfect.
39:51
And then this gives all three of us an opportunity.
39:54
Now Blasey, one thing if you're listening to this, hopefully
39:57
you're not shaking. Maybe he just won't listen to
39:59
the show. Maybe he just won't listen to.
40:01
Might not. I think he will.
40:04
I got a feeling he will. That's why we recorded in stream
40:06
yard. He ain't got the login info to
40:08
stream Yard, so he can't watch it before it goes out just in
40:12
case we said anything that we didn't need to say, which we
40:15
haven't. But but one thing I want you to
40:18
know, Blasey, I'm producing this show of yours.
40:21
You just have to turn on Riverside, have an agenda and
40:24
record it and I will record the show with you until you don't
40:29
like. We will do it all to get.
40:30
We're all still going to do together.
40:32
You're not going. To have other show you're not
40:34
going to have. Don't don't instantly go to
40:37
YouTube. And how do I make a pie?
40:39
No. No, we're going without that.
40:42
Is not going to just let you off like a little mother, let you
40:46
just bump into the wild by yourself.
40:48
No, no. Yeah, that ain't what it is.
40:50
So hopefully he doesn't feel that way.
40:52
I don't think that he will. It's just so difficult when
40:55
we're not all in the same room, but I do.
40:57
But this makes for a great, great show.
41:01
Who the hell knows what the response is going to?
41:03
Be. From it, you know, I don't know.
41:06
I think it'll be good. It might be.
41:08
It might be Blasey challenging handicap match.
41:11
Me and you in a steel cage versus Blasey in a handicap
41:13
match is my He might call us out.
41:15
We never know. That'd be a close one, I do
41:18
think. I mean, he's double joined by
41:20
myself. I've got no.
41:21
Chance. But being you together, we've
41:22
got a chance, we've got a chance.
41:25
I it would be interesting, a complete steel cage match, but I
41:29
don't want to do that. Rather just have a crawfish cook
41:31
off. Yeah, right, right.
41:32
Beat his ass in that too. I'd I'd, I'd oversell too.
41:37
Every time. Every time he punched me or gave
41:38
me an elbow or something, I would oversell.
41:40
I'd flip flop and fly for his ass.
41:42
I'd make it look so good. He looked like he looked like a
41:45
superhuman. Yes.
41:47
Hell yeah, dude, Hell yeah. I'm sure.
41:50
I'm sure he'll listen to it. He'll probably, you know, go
41:52
through the gauntlet of emotion and then be like, yeah, you know
41:54
what, boys? I feel like I can hear him.
41:55
You know, Boys, I will never sound as good as he does.
41:57
But you know, boys, I thought about it for a minute and I
41:59
thought, you know, yeah, you're right.
42:02
You know, that's a great idea. I.
42:03
Think he's going to say we're right?
42:04
Yeah. No, it's a brilliant idea.
42:07
If not, I will say that to myself and put it out the
42:09
universe so many times until I finally hear from him in hopes
42:12
that it works. Well, it's going to work because
42:16
when we talked yesterday, I mean, I wasn't worried about
42:20
anything. Whenever we talked, I kind of
42:22
had a feeling that I understood exactly what you were doing.
42:25
Then the more we talked, I'm like, Oh yeah, this is this is
42:28
what this show has needed. This is the move.
42:30
Somebody had to make this move, you know, be me, which I mean,
42:35
be, let's be honest, I didn't tell y'all I was going to start
42:37
doing Tigs tonight, but that Tigs tonight wasn't designed to
42:41
kick y'all out. Tigs tonight was just because
42:44
I'm like, we need more content or we need watch hours.
42:47
Let's see what will happen after a couple of months of doing it.
42:50
A month or so of really doing it.
42:52
Like 4 * a week. It's a job to do that four times
42:56
a week #1 because I'm not coming into any show without an agenda.
43:00
I just can't do it. I just can't do it.
43:02
That's the radio person in me. I got to have something down so
43:07
I know what I'm talking about. Otherwise you're going to hear
43:10
me start talking about calculators or some shit.
43:12
You know, it's just some dumb stuff that goes through my head.
43:15
Y'all don't really want to know what's going through my head.
43:17
I promise, I promise. So that was kind of why I did
43:21
TIGS tonight, to do trending topics and to get some more
43:25
trending videos of things that are hot and it worked.
43:29
I mean, there's some videos that pop that that.
43:32
See, that's kind of like what I want to do on my show.
43:34
I just want to basically go on Instagram and twirl through
43:36
there and see what everybody's talking about and comment on it.
43:38
Because some of it, because I say it to myself sometimes and I
43:41
think this is so weird. I want to tell and I want to
43:42
forward this to like 6 friends and I'm like, I want to forward
43:45
to a bunch of people, but I'm sure they've seen this too.
43:48
But it'd be sure to. I wish I was there with my
43:50
buddies to make the we could all comment on whatever this
43:52
together, whether it's funny or good or bad or whatever, you
43:54
know, and the same, same kind of deal, you know?
43:57
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Trending.
43:58
Topic stuff yes exactly early poll if y'all are listening to
44:02
this on on wherever whenever it's on still on X still on
44:06
Facebook. I think it won't be on
44:08
Instagram, but I did a little poll out today just to what do
44:12
you want to hear more of music food, sports or culture and not
44:17
surprising food is taking the taking the lead on that and
44:21
sports, though, has made a little run.
44:23
So it look one thing I learned on Twitter on X should have done
44:28
this a long time ago. Some of these things are
44:29
revelations that are coming out now that I'm like shit, why
44:32
didn't we do this before? But Twitter like sports no
44:36
wonder food content doesn't do shit on X.
44:38
They don't people that are following us over there.
44:40
They like it when we talk about sports.
44:42
OK, well now I know where to put sports clips.
44:45
Whenever we do talk about sports make sense and put it on X,
44:48
they're just going to get a little more traction over there.
44:51
The food stuff gets lots of love on TikTok, Instagram and
44:55
Facebook. Facebook especially so.
44:58
Yeah. Oh yeah, I bet.
44:59
Because everybody, the age, the people who are actually cooking
45:02
things have Facebook. That's right.
45:04
And they're. All who are eating the people
45:06
who eat out have Instagram. That is true.
45:09
That's exactly right. That is exactly right.
45:12
Anything that I do that highlights restaurants and stuff
45:14
like that does better on Instagram because of that.
45:18
And weird, isn't it? Yeah.
45:20
But food, yeah, that's why I bet.
45:22
Well, TikTok, I bet Austin and them guys and and and Gabby and
45:26
and all them are, I bet all that they do really well on TikTok
45:29
and Facebook is probably huge for them.
45:32
Yep, they. Do I'm sure all of them out and
45:34
I get most of my on Instagram. I always said this and that's
45:37
one thing that my thing. None of my stuff will change.
45:39
Obviously Jr. thehandler.com home base for everything.
45:42
I'll get everything switched over whenever the show is really
45:45
going to drop, which I don't know when.
45:46
Is the show going to drop? Well, I got one in the can.
45:49
We'll see how it turns out if it if it comes out.
45:51
Yeah, hoping the next couple days possibly.
45:53
OK. All right.
45:55
But if it all worked, I don't know.
45:58
I uploaded the stuff. We'll see how it's shaking out.
46:00
So let us make sure to send it to me so I can share it on all
46:04
of our stuff. Because sure, 100%.
46:06
Know that everybody's, everybody out there is going to want to
46:08
hear this thing. Yeah, but I will keep it and
46:10
it's just the first was just me, be at me just making sure my
46:13
stuff works basically. So I don't know if it'll be a
46:15
show or not. I'm gonna listen to it and see
46:16
if it's worthy of even putting out first.
46:18
But if not, I'm I'm going to try to get with next Monday.
46:22
I'll record something again and and see if I can get it out next
46:25
couple days after that. So it'd kind of be a nice
46:27
schedule if I could record something on Monday, get it out
46:29
on Tuesday or Wednesday. That's great.
46:31
Yeah. That's that's.
46:33
That'll that's as we've talked about consistency is key.
46:37
Like I told you yesterday, I think that we we got very
46:41
consistency has not been a problem getting together to make
46:43
shows has been, I've been able to scrap together stuff and
46:47
things like that when we couldn't make it work.
46:49
But that was the biggest, that was just kind of like the
46:52
biggest hassle of doing three things at once.
46:56
But we remain consistent and I think we watered down our
46:59
product. Yeah, a lot.
47:01
I think we watered it down a lot because, yeah, I mean, dude, at
47:04
one point we're doing top ten list about shit that we could
47:08
only get Chat, ChatGPT to come up with.
47:11
That's when you're grasping for straws, yeah, on how to how to
47:15
get more content. That's when, that's when Knight
47:17
Riders. That's when Knight Riders
47:19
fighting aliens. That's exactly that's exactly
47:23
right. I guess this is the last season
47:25
of Knight Rider. Yes, that's right.
47:27
It's like, how much more can you really do?
47:30
I don't want to. I don't ever want to be that
47:33
person or us be those people that you're like, God almighty,
47:37
they just keep posting this same shit over and over and over and
47:41
over again or they're posting all the time, all the time.
47:45
I don't want to do that. I just want to give you a good,
47:47
good product, good clean stuff. Yep, because some not
47:52
necessarily cuss words clean, but you know, just clean stuff.
47:56
Yeah, better product. And I think that I think what
47:59
we've done this year has been amazing.
48:01
I think the shows that we have done, especially like the last
48:04
month, those shows have been great.
48:07
And it's all because I was able to go back into those shows now
48:11
instead of like we cut a show, I need to get it to Seth, we've
48:14
got it right now. TV show I got to do.
48:16
I got to get that to them. We got a regular podcast to do.
48:19
I got to get that out. That was before I that was my
48:22
Monday before we ever started. Insane.
48:25
That's why I always wanted Sundays to know what day could
48:27
we record because I revolved everything else around when we
48:31
actually got to record. That told me what how I needed
48:34
to prioritize my day of what I need to do and include my
48:39
insurance work. This frees it all up.
48:42
That frees it up and allows me to still get shows out.
48:46
And we, I don't think anybody listening to this will know one
48:49
damn different, one damn difference that they're just
48:52
gonna like. This whole show was really
48:53
pointless, but it was good for us to talk it out.
48:56
Right, Unless we add, unless we add, add or change the the show
49:00
or something for, for, for other thing.
49:02
But yeah, that'll be down the road.
49:04
And so yes, so so yeah, I'm going to keep all my stuff the
49:07
same. Just the easy landing page and
49:09
I'll send you all the stuff to make sure we can share that
49:11
around. I'm hoping this is is soon.
49:13
But then So what is the so you on the show?
49:20
It's going to be Tigs bits, obviously, but we're going to
49:22
roll that. You're going to roll that more
49:23
into some food and culture type stuff.
49:26
Well, I. Don't see, because that could be
49:29
something you could even say why I'm going to do this more food
49:31
thing and then I'll do it. We'll leave the sports for a
49:33
section of the The Bubba Show. Yeah, here's my thoughts.
49:39
This is what I'm thinking I'm going to do #1 I'm cutting back
49:42
on long form content #1 like I'm going to do this show,
49:47
obviously, and I'm still going to go live at least once a week
49:51
that those things are not changing.
49:54
I'm still going to have, I'm going to have people come on
49:57
interviews. A lot of these people, these
49:59
care. They're characters.
50:00
They are characters that I've met at these food cooking
50:03
things. They've been wanting to come on.
50:05
But once again, getting all three of us in the room to be
50:08
able to do that. And as you know, as we talked
50:11
about, sometimes three of us talking to one guest, number one
50:14
could make the guest nervous. Number 2, with the way that this
50:18
technology is, it's hard to not talk over each other at times
50:23
without just making the whole show just complete dead air,
50:26
which makes it even harder to edit.
50:27
Honestly, it's easier to just for me to cut out where we talk
50:31
over ourselves sometimes and going back in and editing has
50:34
allowed that to happen. But so Tigs Tonight will live on
50:39
at least once a week. Then those things that I'll be
50:42
doing and then more so when I'm not doing an interview with
50:45
somebody or I'm not doing a Tigs Tonight, which will be maybe
50:50
something that you've done may come into that play.
50:52
You know, maybe it's not a 30 minute show.
50:54
Maybe I go an hour. Dude, I, I can do it.
50:57
I've done it. I've proved it.
50:58
That's what I wanted to prove to myself in January is that I
51:01
could do a show by myself, live with people and not freak out
51:06
and could do it. So I've proved to myself that I
51:08
could. I ain't got a problem with that.
51:10
That was easy and no problem. I can still do that now.
51:13
Some shows were harder than others when I didn't have when I
51:17
was scratching on day 4 of what am I going to talk about today?
51:21
So that made it a little bit more difficult.
51:23
But but I'm going to continue to just talk about talk with food
51:27
people, those interviews, those those influencers and people
51:31
like that going to do more collaborations of short videos
51:36
of like me and Austin cooking a dish or something or I don't
51:40
know that me and Gabby Brittany going and doing stuff like that.
51:44
I'm going to do some restaurant reviews, food reviews.
51:47
Just I want to see. You good to see I want to see
51:49
you do a season review of all of our buddies seasonings and and
51:53
talk about what. You think it'd be?
51:54
Best for and what you. Break them down.
51:58
Yeah, break down each of all the different because there's so
52:00
many good ones. I told Cherise that earlier.
52:02
We use don't go, we don't need to go off on this right now, but
52:05
you know, we can. But I used I used T birds last
52:08
night and cooked some chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
52:10
chicken breast on the trail with some T birds and I coated them
52:13
real thick and good. And man, it had it had just
52:15
enough of that punch. It was so good.
52:17
And I was telling her I was like, well, kind of trying to
52:19
use because it's getting low. I'm like, I'm kind of trying.
52:21
She's like a little heavy on the season, you know, kind of deal
52:24
because and I could tell but and it would good obviously.
52:27
But I said yeah, I'm trying to use this note.
52:28
We got so many. I wanted to get to some other
52:30
ones to try them. But I live in a humid area so I
52:33
don't want to have them all open at one time because they'll get
52:36
right up. So I kind of space it out and
52:38
try to only have like 3 open at one time.
52:40
Like if I got 6 right now, you know what I'm talking about.
52:43
Oh, I know exactly. I'd love to see you do one of
52:45
those. That's a great.
52:46
A lot of times I'm having to go back and look at the thing and
52:49
think about, I wonder would it be like on pork?
52:51
It doesn't say that, but you know, or things like that.
52:54
So I think that'd be a cool one, just.
52:56
Random thought, great idea. No, I like that.
52:58
I think I will definitely take that we have.
52:59
So many friends who have seasonings that I mean, it's
53:02
enough to do a show. On Oh, it's enough to do a lot
53:05
of shows on honestly, and and that's one thing that I'm I'm
53:08
going to do too. I'm definitely going to do
53:11
cooking content. I bought the lights, the big
53:14
nice, like studio white lights, whatever the those, you know,
53:19
that looks like a freaking, you know, looks like a regular
53:22
studio. I've got those to put in my
53:23
kitchen. So I'm going to start to do some
53:26
cooking videos. I'm going to, you know, do
53:29
grilling stuff kind of just, and I'm going to start with just
53:33
doing the things that we eat at the house, things that I like to
53:36
cook, simple stuff, which is kind of what I've been doing.
53:39
But man, all those videos do well, you know, like they get,
53:43
they get some love and it's encouraging for sure to see that
53:47
that'll work. And I think that I can make that
53:49
better and I can get those better and just talk more and
53:53
more and more about food and yes, save the sports for some
53:56
other stuff. But if you know, if there's a
53:59
Thursday Night Live, I like going live on Thursdays.
54:01
I don't know why. And that'll be fun.
54:03
We can still do a random tigs bits, get the get get Voltron
54:07
back together, you know, and we do we do a live bowl game or a
54:11
ball game or. Absolutely, yeah.
54:14
And that'll be. A fight or something?
54:16
It'll make it fun to do those one offs or still the invitation
54:20
always open. Like I think it'll get to a
54:23
point of where y'all are like Tigs is going live at 7:30 on
54:27
Thursday night. You got the stream yard link?
54:29
You can hop in. I mean and it won't derail me.
54:32
I don't care about being derailed at this point with the
54:36
way that we're doing everything that'd make it fun, you know,
54:38
like because I want those shows to be more so hanging out with
54:43
the chat and the people that have followed us and gotten
54:46
gotten us to where we're at and you know, and all of that.
54:49
So I don't, I don't, I don't want anybody to think that we're
54:51
going away. That's the biggest take away if
54:54
you made it this far. Into the we're just adding more
54:57
to it. Some I don't need it because
54:58
it's a, it's a double thing here because we're like, it's going
55:03
to be less on us, but we're going to give more.
55:06
Right. Exactly, exactly.
55:08
But we're just using our creative energy in different
55:11
spaces, that's all. That's all we're doing.
55:15
What you're good at kind of deal?
55:16
We just haven't. We're just doing this show
55:19
without actually formally having our conversation with our Co
55:22
host and partner Blasey. But I mean.
55:26
Blasey's going to come back next week and be like Brantley.
55:28
J Rs fired. I don't want, I'm not taking no
55:30
for an answer. J Rs out, it's on him.
55:33
He's out. We don't want him around no
55:34
more. And Brantley, you got to stick
55:35
with me. And I'll be like, come on.
55:39
It'll be like, you're going to be like, oh, I don't know.
55:42
I don't know. No, I'm going to be like, we're
55:44
going to stick to what we've talked about tonight.
55:46
But thank you. I kid.
55:47
No, I he's, he's so sensible. Surely he'd be fine with it.
55:50
But yeah, I think. And that'll just give us more
55:53
stuff to talk about on there. And and, you know, it just, I
55:55
think it's just going to flow better.
55:56
It's just going to be better. Hey, who knows?
55:58
Who knows? Maybe no one will listen to my
56:00
show. And I don't, you know, I run it
56:01
for a while and it just don't work out.
56:03
You never know. And then I'm back, you know,
56:05
and. Then you're crawling.
56:06
What we've been doing anyway. You're not.
56:07
That isn't going to be the case. Doing what we've been doing
56:10
anyway, you know, So I mean, that's, you know, I got to tell
56:13
people about quitting drinking. I'm like, so it's not, I mean,
56:15
it's not like I cut my arm off. I can always go back to do it to
56:18
drinking. I can always go back doing what
56:19
I can always go back to do it Exactly what I what I used to
56:23
do. You need to do a whole show on
56:25
that. You really do.
56:28
How you quit drinking. Yeah, well, I had a glass of
56:30
wine this weekend. I don't care.
56:31
I mean, it's not like you're you're that I don't count that.
56:35
And they sell these. They sell these good seltzer
56:38
waters at the rouses near my house.
56:40
They are delicious. Grapefruit wouldn't write
56:43
grapefruit deal here. Delicious.
56:45
I love it. I love.
56:47
It Yeah, I will. And I'm going to have some
56:48
because I I want to have a show about that.
56:49
I want to get a couple other guys or gals from the touring
56:53
world that got sober, you know? Yeah, for sure.
56:56
That's entertaining and and and a great a great story.
57:00
If it goes in, if it can go into a fun way because I don't want
57:03
it ain't because it's not like a Debbie Downing thing.
57:05
I don't want to be. It's supposed to be a.
57:06
It's a good thing, you know. Yeah.
57:08
I mean, you, you slimmed up, you feel better, You got every.
57:11
Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of
57:12
positives to not drinking. I mean, there really is.
57:16
It's just they're all boundless. Boundless.
57:19
Yeah, that's just a time, just a.
57:21
Time, but everybody's different too.
57:22
I I said that to everybody's different.
57:23
Some people it affects everybody different.
57:25
There's people who eat 5 cheeseburgers a day all their
57:28
life and and never gain an ounce, you know, weigh the same
57:31
they did in high school and live to be 110.
57:33
And then there's some, you know, everybody's just different.
57:35
Everybody's different, dude, Everybody's different.
57:38
Well, well, let's wrap this up, man.
57:40
I think this episode was needed. I'm glad we did it.
57:44
Hopefully we'll cross our fingers that Blasey takes this
57:49
in with an open heart and an open mind and knowing that we're
57:54
basically trying to also give him some creative freedom to do
57:57
his own show and give him the keys to the car and let him
58:00
ride. That's what we want him to do.
58:02
That's what you're going to do. That's what I'm going to do.
58:05
And Blasey, we need to do and, and Blasey can bring those
58:08
guests he's talked about on whenever he wants to and we can
58:12
get in on it. We can get in on it.
58:13
If we can't, he can do. He can make sure he has a show
58:15
he wants to have, too. 100%, I think it just gets us rolling
58:20
all in the right direction. We're all rowing in the right
58:23
direction. It's just going to make better
58:25
content for you, the listener out there that's listening to
58:29
this. So thank you for listening to us
58:32
vent over this and discuss all of the changes and all.
58:35
I knew we had to address it this week, Jr. because you posted it
58:39
on social media and people have been kind of, I've been getting
58:42
some DMS and texts like what's going on?
58:45
So we had to address it. I should have gave you a little
58:48
more heads up on that. It was kind of a spur thing,
58:50
but. Well, I did that with Tigs
58:52
tonight. It's just fine.
58:53
That's how we roll. We kind of just, it comes to our
58:55
mind. We rock'n'roll, we put it out,
58:57
we do it. We're doers.
59:00
That's what we do. So that's what we're going to do
59:02
with this. We're going to keep on rocking,
59:04
brother. It's going to be fun.
59:05
Yes, 100%. We'll see you all next week.
