• 4:46
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's been a bit.

  SPEAKER_01: It's easier.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: You actually had to leave the house.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: You had to drive 22 miles to go get a steak dinner.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_03: I was looking for plane tickets before I started driving.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_03: Kind of far.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: Did it last all the way home?

  SPEAKER_01: What?
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: The dinner.

  I don't know if it's COVID or whatever it was because I was
• 6:03
  staying in the house before COVID.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_03: So that part is not new,
• 6:08
  but something's got to give here where I'm just not every time

• 6:18
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_01: Well,

• 6:24
  destination and

  SPEAKER_03: And I love Nine Inch Nails.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_03: And it was an immediate no.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_03: And it wasn't like I was busy.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_03: I could have definitely gone.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: Was it the locale that was a drawback for you?
• 8:04
  It's partly that,
• 8:05
  and it's just partly not wanting to go out,
• 8:08
  not wanting to deal with people.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_03: And I'll tell you what I did.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_03: I watched an old Nine Inch Nails thing on YouTube, and I was fine.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_01: You were happy with that.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_03: I was perfectly happy with that,
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_03: laying in my bed,
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_03: eating a bag of chips,
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_03: watching Nine Inch Nails.
• 8:24
  Yeah.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_01: Well, very good.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I did venture out, obviously, over the weekend.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_01: And I did run around and do a few things while I was in the Akron area.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: And, you know, it felt good to get out.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: But I did it with purpose, though.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: I did it because it was something I wanted to do.
• 8:46
  And I had no struggle with deciding,
• 8:50
  you know,
• 8:50
  this hotel bed is feeling pretty good.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_01: I just, I'd go, yeah, I got to go do this and I got to go do that.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: And I was invited to go do this and, and I did, and it was, it was fine.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: I felt normal to do that, you know?
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I'm trying to get it back.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_03: You know, it's like I told you at the dinner.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_03: I did go and see Plush, which was pushing myself out to go.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: It's surprising that you just made the trip to see them,
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: and then you just turned around and went home.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_03: Just turned around and went.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_03: I found out what time they were going.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_03: I didn't even see the girl.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_03: I didn't even say hello.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_03: I literally found out what time they were hitting the stage.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_03: I got there 10 minutes or so before that.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_03: Came in, got a beer, watched them.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_03: I was gone within an hour, you know, and it was fine.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_03: That was, that was fine.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_01: I was on time for you.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_01: And that's a drive up into the Cleveland area.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I mean, I did that.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_03: I came out and saw you.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_03: That's about the same distance, you know, the next night.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_03: I took my mom again to more surgery this week.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_03: I had to be,
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_03: I had to,
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_03: that sucked because I had to,
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_03: I had to have her at the hospital at eight o'clock in the morning,
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_03: which let's be honest here.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_03: I work from home.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_03: Eight o'clock in the morning does not exist to me.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_03: Rush hour traffic does not exist to me.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_03: I had to leave my own house at 630, which I haven't seen.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_03: Dude, half the time I'm going to bed at 630.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_01: You're like John Mellencamp.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_01: The sun is coming up.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just going to bed.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and that was it.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_03: I was running on almost no sleep, but I took her.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_03: I went and did that.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_03: And now next week, I've got a couple of days.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to be out at Billy Morris' place.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to be out there Wednesday and Friday.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_03: Wednesday,
• 10:40
  we're doing kind of a tech run-through of the podcasting studio
• 10:45
  for the Friday with
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_03: Florentine and John Jameson.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 10:49
  But we're also going to do the Seth show from there,
• 10:52
  from the podcasting studio on Wednesday.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_03: And, you know, so I'm going to be out on Wednesday.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_03: Then I'll be out on Friday.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, this is, for me, five times in two weeks is a lot.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_03: You know,
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_03: that's,
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_03: and I hate sounding like a fucking hermit,
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_03: but I swear I'm trying to break the pattern of being a hermit.
• 11:12
  You're just trying to break that,
• 11:15
  you know,
• 11:15
  that you'll just willow away in your home,
• 11:21
  you know.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_03: It gets comfortable.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_03: I mean,
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_03: it,
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_03: and it is comfortable for me to just be home and I need to stop being so
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_03: comfortable being home.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_03: I need to get out and do some shit again.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_03: Cause you know,
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_03: when,
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_03: when I have everybody in my life saying that they're worried about me,
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_03: cause I'm fucking a hermit now,
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_03: it's like,
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_03: all right,
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_03: I guess I better get out.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_03: And it's a little stupid shit.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_03: Like this week, I don't think it hit 80 degrees this whole week.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_03: And it was sunny.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe it rained at night, but it was not like a rainy.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_03: There really weren't any rainy days.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_03: I have a laptop in the other room.
• 11:56
  I literally bought an outdoor bench so that I could sit outside
• 12:00
  and work on nice days.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_03: Did I go outside?
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_03: Not one fucking time.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_03: Not one time.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_03: It is what it is.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_03: I'm working on it.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not going to promise it's going to get better or worse or whatever,
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_03: but I am trying to get out of the house.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_01: Well,
• 12:16
  there was an event that went on sale this week that I thought
• 12:19
  perhaps you would get
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_01: out of the house.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: What's that?
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: The Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin experience at the MGM.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_03: Was the show?
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: The show wasn't this week, was it?
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_01: No, tickets went on sale.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_03: I don't need to buy tickets for that.
• 12:33
  No,
• 12:33
  what I'm saying is I'm aware that that show is coming to the
• 12:37
  MGM near you.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_01: So you may decide to venture out of the house for that.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm probably going to go to that, actually.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_03: But I'm going to make the phone call.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_03: I'm done paying for tickets.
• 12:49
  Because they are coming here to the Gary,
• 12:52
  Indiana area at the Hard Rock Casino as well.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, I might look into going to that.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: It's such a great show.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I know.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: I saw it a little over a year ago.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_01: I've seen it.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: Over in Wabash, Indiana, of all places.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_03: I think I've seen it four or five times.
• 13:12
  I've seen it with Kelly a bunch of times because obviously Zepp
• 13:14
  is her thing.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_03: And dude, it's always great.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_03: It's always, every time I've seen it, it's been great.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_03: I've never come out of it even thinking, I've seen this before.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_03: Always great.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_01: Well,
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_01: I'm glad Jason is still doing that,
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_01: even though,
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_01: he had a stint with Sammy Hagar until he got booted.
• 13:33
  And I'm glad he's reconvened and is still out there touring
• 13:38
  around with his
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_01: Zeppelin experience because it really is a fantastic show.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_01: It is.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_01: So if you like Led Zeppelin and they do come to a venue near you,
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: I would highly recommend going.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's a great show.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely stellar.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_01: So I saw you Friday.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 14:00
  and uh strangely enough my nephew who often frequently is in
• 14:05
  the chat room there he
• 14:08
  and his brother and my brother-in-law uh had made the trip over
• 14:13
  the weekend as well
• 14:14
  the same time as i did i was not aware that they were going to
• 14:17
  be there until i was
• 14:18
  talking with my nephew and i said yeah i'm going to go over
• 14:21
  ohio and visit my dad
• 14:23
  and he goes yeah we're going over there too right so so uh i
• 14:27
  met up with them at my
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_01: dad's house on saturday
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_01: And,
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_01: he was a little overwhelmed with so much company,
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_01: having,
• 14:35
  having so many people around him because he typically doesn't
• 14:38
  have that much
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_01: company all at once.
• 14:41
  And so he got a little overwhelmed with so many people and
• 14:44
  trying to talk to
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: everybody and pay attention to everybody.
• 14:47
  And so he kind of,
• 14:49
  kind of tired out on us after about an hour and a half or so.
• 14:54
  So rather than,
• 14:55
  you know,
• 14:55
  just overwhelm him,
• 14:56
  I mean,
• 14:57
  the guy is 96 years old.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_01: But we decided to, you know, leave.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: And I saw my sister, she had come over too.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_01: So she was there as well.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_01: So my dad had a house full of people visiting.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_01: And so we kind of ducked out.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_01: We told my dad, I told my dad, I'll be back on Monday.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_01: I'll come see you on Monday before I head home.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_01: And he says, well, I need you to come back.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: I got a couple of things I want to give to you.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_01: I said, all right.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: So,
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_01: Monday morning I stopped over to his house and he says,
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_01: well,
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_01: I'm glad you stopped by because there was a couple of things I want to,
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_01: I want to pass along to you.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 15:40
  Well,
• 15:40
  you know,
• 15:41
  that,
• 15:41
  that kind of a thing where somebody is passing along something
• 15:45
  to you.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_03: Makes you nervous.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_01: Well,
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_01: it gives you a sinking feeling,
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_01: as you know,
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_01: the inevitable,
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_01: it's inevitable,
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_01: I mean,
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_01: the guy could live for another 10 years for all I know.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_01: But when somebody says I'm passing this on to you as a,
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_01: as a part of the family legacy or whatever,
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_01: it's just like,
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_01: well,
• 16:05
  he says you're my only surviving son because I had two brothers
• 16:11
  and I'm the only,
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: son left.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_01: And that's another thing.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_01: You know, my dad had seven children and there's only four of us left.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_01: So he's outlived.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_01: He's outlived three of his children.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_03: That is tough there, you know?
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: So I went to visit him and we,
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_01: we were sitting there chit chatting along and he says,
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: well,
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: there's a couple of things I want to give you.
• 16:37
  He says,
• 16:37
  first of all,
• 16:39
  and you might laugh at this,
• 16:40
  but there's,
• 16:40
  there's a story behind it.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_01: So he says out in the garage,
• 16:45
  there's an anvil now you know what a name yeah you know what an
• 16:49
  anvil is right yeah
• 16:51
  sure the metal so huh the metal thing you bang it's a big chunk
• 16:57
  of metal yeah
• 16:58
  correct the horseshoes and things right so he he proceeds to
• 17:03
  tell me the story
• 17:04
  about this anvil okay so apparently his father and his father's
• 17:10
  father my my dad's
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_01: grandfather
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: They lived in southern Kentucky, way down in coal country.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_01: Remember our friend down there in Whitesburg, Kentucky?
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_03: Greg.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_03: Greg Napier.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: Well, Greg Napier.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_01: Well, my dad came from down in that area.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's way down south Kentucky.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_01: It's coal country down there.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: Down in Hazard, Kentucky, you know, Dukes of Hazard and all that stuff.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 17:38
  So anyway,
• 17:39
  being that they were farmers and so on and so forth,
• 17:44
  they raised their own cattle.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_01: They plowed their own fields,
• 17:49
  much like the Amish do today with the horse-drawn plows and
• 17:53
  things like that.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_01: They didn't have...
• 17:55
  the modern implements that they have today with tractors and
• 17:59
  stuff like that you
• 18:00
  know so they kind of all did everything by hand including you
• 18:04
  know fenton you know
• 18:05
  making their own fence posts and you know sharpening their own
• 18:09
  plow blades and you
• 18:11
  know banging out their own horseshoes and things like that
• 18:14
  right so my dad tells me
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_01: his dad and his grandfather went to some
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_01: local farmer's place.
• 18:22
  I guess he was having like an estate sale or an auction or sell
• 18:25
  an office farm or
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_01: something like that.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_01: And so they went over there to see what he had for sale.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_01: And,
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 18:33
  one of the things he had was this anvil and my dad's
• 18:37
  grandfather asked his son,
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_01: my father's dad,
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_01: you have any money on you?
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_01: I don't have any money on me.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_01: He says, I'd like to buy that anvil.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_01: You got 50 cents.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_01: 50 cents, 50 cents.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_01: So he goes, yeah, I got a couple of dollars on me.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_01: So he bought this anvil for 50 cents.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_01: This was probably like 19,
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to guess it was like 1935 or something like that.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_01: 1940, maybe.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: And,
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_01: so they,
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_01: it became sort of a shared property,
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_01: even though my,
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_01: my dad's father,
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_01: my grandfather purchased it,
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: made the purchase,
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_01: his father took it to his farm and he says,
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_01: if you need to use it or whatever,
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_01: come on over and.

• 21:12
  SPEAKER_01: I want you to take this anvil.

  SPEAKER_01: So my dad took it after my grandfather passed away in 96.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_01: So here it is, 2025.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: Now I have the anvil.

  SPEAKER_01: You have that.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_01: I now have the family anvil.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_01: That's funny.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_01: So what I decided to do with it is I'm going to clean it all up,
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_01: get all the rust off it,
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_01: clean it all up,
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_01: but a paint it probably put some,
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_01: maybe some red accents on it or something.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm going to put it here in the CMS studio by the fireplace.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_01: Nice.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_01: Kind of like a little showpiece, you know what I mean?
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_01: So that's what I'm going to do with the family anvil.
• 21:55
  You put it on your desk somewhere with a hammer so every once
• 21:57
  in a while when
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_03: people are acting up,
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_03: you just start banging on it.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_03: King, king, king, king.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_01: That thing wings like 70 pounds.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_03: That's what I'm saying.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_03: That would be metal.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_01: What's more metal than having an anvil?
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_01: In fact, there's a band called Anvil.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_01: And their logo is an anvil.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_01: So I have in my possession the Neely Anvil.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_01: That's very metal.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_01: That's awesome.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_01: So then I got the anvil, put it in my, my truck.
• 22:31
  I went back in and my dad says,
• 22:32
  I have another thing I want to give to you.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_01: I want to pass on to you.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_01: He goes,
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_01: go in that back bedroom and in the back of the closet there,
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_01: there's a,
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_01: there's a,
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_01: a rifle back there.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_01: And I said, okay.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_01: So I went back there to get it.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_01: And I knew, I knew what this rifle was.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_01: Cause I'd seen it all my life.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_01: Once again, this, this belonged to my grandfather.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_01: So my dad passed along this little Remington single shot 22 rifle.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_01: It's just a little bolt action, single shot.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_01: You have to load a bullet every time.
• 23:16
  and uh it's just it's a very light little gun and it's it's
• 23:20
  good you know for
• 23:21
  shooting varmints i guess okay as my grandpa used to call
• 23:28
  chipmunks ground
• 23:29
  squirrels or you know or groundhogs eating your garden or
• 23:34
  rabbits or whatever it
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_01: was
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_01: So my dad tells the story that,
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_01: the salesman came through the,
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_01: came through the country there back in,
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_01: the Hills of Kentucky.
• 23:46
  And he was selling these Remington rifles and he had a co
• 23:51
  salesman with them or a
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_01: guy who helped demonstrate these rifles.
• 23:55
  And he said that this guy would take a playing card and he'd
• 24:01
  walk out,
• 24:01
  I don't know,
• 24:03
  50 yards or so away and hold this playing card up between his
• 24:07
  fingers like this.
• 24:08
  And that salesman would take that rifle and,
• 24:11
  and shoot the corner off that plane.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_01: To demonstrate the accuracy of this, this rifle.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_03: Nice.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_01: So apparently my grandfather paid $15.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_01: For this 1933 Remington rifle.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_01: Now, my dad was born in 1929, so he was just a wee lad at the time.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 24:37
  And so as he grew up,
• 24:40
  got older,
• 24:40
  he said that he got pretty good with this rifle.
• 24:43
  He said he'd take it out and shoot squirrels with it or hunt
• 24:46
  rabbits with it or
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_01: even just do target practice.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_01: He said he'd take some blue tip matches and put it in a fence post.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: And then shoot it to strike the match.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_02: Nice.

• 40:57
  with steven oh god
• 40:58
  that's right piercey right and uh that unfortunately did not
• 41:02
  work out quite as well
• 41:05
  even though piercey had had indicated that if everybody stuck
• 41:09
  around till two or
• 41:10
  three o'clock in the morning they'd set up in the parking lot
• 41:13
  and play till till
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_03: the sun came up i'm coming guys i'm coming
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_01: I'm still in Minnesota.
• 41:20
  SPEAKER_01: I'm still about 800 miles away.
• 41:22
  SPEAKER_03: I'll be there in an hour.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_01: That was quite a thing.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, we did everything we could do to keep the crowd entertained.
• 41:33
  For the hours that we waited to finally figure out that this
• 41:37
  show ain't happening.
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_03: And then finally,
• 41:39
  SPEAKER_03: like 1.30 in the morning,
• 41:41
  that's when Steven called us from Minnesota and said he'd be
• 41:43
  there in an hour.
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he'd be there.
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_03: And he was on the road.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_01: And if you hang around, we'll set up and play in the parking lot.
• 41:50
  And if he made it to Ohio,
• 41:52
  it was probably like 9 o'clock the next morning.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_03: It was not that night.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_03: No way.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 42:00
  yeah that was that was quite something all we did was sit there
• 42:03
  and basically try
• 42:04
  to do our show live yeah and played some tunes and you know did
• 42:09
  some chatting in
• 42:10
  between and you know for the people who decided to hang out and
• 42:14
  stay and you know
• 42:15
  fortunately we had the wherewithal to be able to put steven
• 42:19
  over the pa and talk to
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_01: him live right
• 42:24
  i gotta tell you for for something that was as makeshift as we
• 42:28
  we did we've pulled
• 42:30
  off some pretty cool over the years as far as like setting up a
• 42:34
  live remote uh
• 42:37
  basically all internet related you know we took advantage early
• 42:42
  advantage of the
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_01: the limited uh
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_01: the limitations that the internet provided,
• 42:48
  SPEAKER_01: we still were able to do something with it.
• 42:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 42:52
  SPEAKER_03: And I mean,
• 42:52
  that was when you really think about like now we both have like
• 42:57
  incredibly good
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_03: internet.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_03: So it's like, there's very little glitchiness.
• 43:01
  back then was not the case yeah back then we were you were it
• 43:06
  wasn't me because you
• 43:07
  know me the minute anything doesn't work i'm like fuck this i
• 43:10

• 43:11
  you know i and that's no lie people that's not me exaggerating
• 43:16
  even a little bit
• 43:17
  SPEAKER_03: when we did the show at the um nelson's ledges
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_03: You literally came back after like five minutes and were like,
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know if I have enough cable for this.
• 43:28
  SPEAKER_03: I was like, oh, then fuck this.
• 43:29

• 43:30
  SPEAKER_03: We're going to get out of here.
• 43:31
  SPEAKER_03: Let's leave now.
• 43:34
  SPEAKER_01: That was the first wireless broadcast.
• 43:38
  SPEAKER_03: But I'm ready to quit.
• 43:40
  Meanwhile,
• 43:40
  we had Red and Jerry that drove in from Wisconsin for this
• 43:45
  thing.
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, fuck this.
• 43:47
  SPEAKER_03: Fuck them.
• 43:48
  SPEAKER_03: I'm leaving.
• 43:50
  SPEAKER_03: I'm out of here.
• 43:52
  SPEAKER_03: And it turned out okay.
• 43:53
  SPEAKER_03: It turned out okay.
• 43:54
  SPEAKER_03: We did a 12-hour broadcast.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, all wireless.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_03: All wireless.
• 43:59
  SPEAKER_03: You literally climbed up on top of some kind of a shed or something.
• 44:03
  SPEAKER_01: It was a tool shed,
• 44:05
  and I climbed up there with a wireless router and mounted it on
• 44:10
  the roof of the
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_01: tool shed.
• 44:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 44:12
  And we were able to connect our laptops wirelessly to the
• 44:18
  router about how far
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_01: would you say that was?
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_01: 100 yards?
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_01: Easy.
• 44:23
  SPEAKER_01: Easy 100 yards?
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_03: It was 100 yards from us.
• 44:27
  It was probably also 100 yards from the house where the actual
• 44:29
  internet was.
• 44:32
  SPEAKER_03: It was stupid how far it was.
• 44:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
• 44:35
  but somehow I was able to put some cat six cables together and
• 44:40
  climb up on the tool
• 44:41
  shed and put our and I had the presence of mind to have a
• 44:45
  wireless router with me.
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 44:47
  And then I had to then I had to drag an extension cord up there
• 44:53
  to plug the thing in.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_01: So I had an extension cord running from the ground up to the roof.
• 44:59
  And then I had a cat six cable running up there and plug in the
• 45:04
  wireless router.
• 45:05
  SPEAKER_01: And then that was plugged into a modem at the house.
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_01: And somehow we were able to connect.
• 45:15
  a wireless signal and we did a 12-hour broadcast by wire it was
• 45:21
  amazing that
• 45:21
  anything worked but it did work and we had a great time man
• 45:25
  that that's one of the
• 45:26
  all-time best broadcasts like 2007 yeah it's a long time 2008
• 45:31
  or something like
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_01: that that was almost 20 years ago we did that yeah
• 45:39
  so so technology at that time was not was the best it could be
• 45:44
  at that time and
• 45:45
  what we have today blows blows that away but somehow we made it
• 45:49
  work we made it
• 45:50
  work but it was it was crazy too because like once we got it
• 45:55
  working then it just
• 45:56
  turned into nuttiness when whether it was the drunk guy or um
• 46:01
  me up on stage
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_03: singing enter sandman or you know
• 46:05
  SPEAKER_03: We did a lot of goofy shit.
• 46:08
  SPEAKER_03: Me trying to get that kid to swear.
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_03: Remember that?
• 46:11
  SPEAKER_03: I was like, I'll give you 20 bucks if you say, fuck you, pal.
• 46:17
  SPEAKER_03: Kid was about five.
• 46:19
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 46:21
  it's too funny yeah that was that was pretty funny but uh yeah
• 46:25
  that all worked out
• 46:26
  um we you know i i brought enough equipment to where i had the
• 46:29
  mixing boards and
• 46:31
  you know things to you know connect to the computer and we we
• 46:35
  basically i think we
• 46:36
  broadcast over winamp yeah we did i think we had a winamp uh
• 46:41
  used winamp and used
• 46:42
  SPEAKER_01: their uh what do they call that dns server dsp server yeah
• 46:50
  SPEAKER_01: That was old school.
• 46:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 46:52
  And somehow we made it work and people listened to the
• 46:55
  broadcast and nobody
• 46:57
  SPEAKER_01: complained or said that the audio was shitty or anything.
• 47:01
  SPEAKER_03: No, it was a real amazing thing that it, that it happened at all.
• 47:05
  When you consider how low brow the technology was just to get a
• 47:10
  broadcast then
• 47:11
  SPEAKER_03: somehow,
• 47:12
  SPEAKER_03: and this is all you,
• 47:13
  I don't want to take no credit because I was sitting in the
• 47:16
  corner pouting,
• 47:17
  SPEAKER_03: wanting to leave.
• 47:17
  SPEAKER_03: I ain't gonna lie.
• 47:20
  SPEAKER_03: You not only made that part work for us,
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_03: but then somehow you figured out how to wire in the stage.
• 47:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 47:28
  They gave me a feed from the stage and I was able to put it in
• 47:31
  the mixing board and
• 47:32
  SPEAKER_01: then run it into the computer via USB feed.
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_03: But let's be clear.
• 47:38
  SPEAKER_03: We weren't next to the stage either.
• 47:41
  SPEAKER_03: No, we were probably a hundred feet from the stage.
• 47:44
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 47:44
  So you had like,
• 47:46
  somehow we did this broadcast,
• 47:47
  had these wires all over the place.
• 47:49
  SPEAKER_03: No one tripped over anything to disconnect anything.
• 47:52
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_03: For 12 hours.
• 47:55
  SPEAKER_03: And we did a perfectly good broadcast.
• 47:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 47:58
  SPEAKER_03: Craziness.
• 47:58
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 47:59
  SPEAKER_01: It is.
• 48:00
  SPEAKER_01: But, uh, Hey, we were, we were determined.
• 48:02
  SPEAKER_01: We were gonna,
• 48:03
  SPEAKER_01: we were gonna be one of the,
• 48:05
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 48:05
  SPEAKER_01: people out there who made a name for ourselves doing stuff like that,
• 48:09
  SPEAKER_01: you know?
• 48:10
  SPEAKER_01: And, uh, we did it on basically no budget budget, the Neely bank book.
• 48:16
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, pretty much.
• 48:18
  SPEAKER_03: Same budget we're on now.
• 48:20
  SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
• 48:22
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 48:22
  SPEAKER_01: So anyway, good times.
• 48:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 48:25
  SPEAKER_01: Good friends in a bottle of pills.
• 48:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 48:29
  SPEAKER_03: You started playing that, and I was like, ugh.
• 48:31
  SPEAKER_03: Of all the Pantera songs, you pick the only one I don't like.
• 48:35
  SPEAKER_03: I hate that song.
• 48:37
  I just kind of played that in commemoration of good friends and
• 48:41
  a good steak.
• 48:42
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_03: No, that's just the one.
• 48:45
  SPEAKER_03: They have two songs in their whole five albums from Cowboys from Hell on.
• 48:51
  SPEAKER_03: I don't really listen to the other ones.
• 48:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 48:54
  They have two songs I don't like good friends in a bottle of
• 48:57
  pills and hard lines
• 48:58
  SPEAKER_03: and sunken cheeks.
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_02: Those are the only two songs I do.
• 49:02
  SPEAKER_03: One of those ever again.
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, go ahead.
• 49:04
  SPEAKER_03: Look, we play the cult.
• 49:06
  SPEAKER_03: I don't like them.
• 49:06
  SPEAKER_03: It's fine with me.
• 49:07
  SPEAKER_03: I don't care.
• 49:08
  SPEAKER_03: You know, but, but I, I just, you were, you were playing the music.
• 49:12
  SPEAKER_03: You played the Bush at the beginning.
• 49:13
  SPEAKER_03: I was like, yeah, getting into it.
• 49:15
  SPEAKER_03: And I was like, yeah, I'm interviewing John Bush Thursday.
• 49:17
  SPEAKER_03: This is great.
• 49:18
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 49:19
  SPEAKER_03: Then all of a sudden, I was like, oh, not this one.
• 49:27
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I thought I was doing a good thing.
• 49:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's fine.
• 49:30
  SPEAKER_03: Whatever.
• 49:31
  SPEAKER_03: I don't really listen to the music that much anyway.
• 49:33
  SPEAKER_03: I just do my thing.
• 49:35
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I played the Armored Saint for myself last train home.
• 49:39
  SPEAKER_01: I thought that was very appropriate.
• 49:41
  SPEAKER_01: And then good friends and a bottle of pills.
• 49:43
  SPEAKER_01: So it was kind of a theme for me.
• 49:45
  SPEAKER_01: I was trying to open up this segment with theme music.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_01: There you go.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_01: Perfect.
• 49:53
  SPEAKER_01: That was the thought process anyway.
• 49:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 49:56
  SPEAKER_03: Should open with the cult and the theme could have been songs.
• 49:58
  SPEAKER_03: Chris doesn't like.
• 50:02
  SPEAKER_01: Very good.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
