- 1:54I love the man Steve. Oh, it's really Jr.
- 1:57Oh, who knew? Yeah, the mass superstars.
- 1:59Actually, Jr. I can't like this.
- 2:02The for one time, Dusty Rhodes was uh oh gosh, what was it?
- 2:06He went is something. But Dusty has obviously the
- 2:09look. There's nobody in the world that
- 2:11didn't know it was. Dusty roads and Junkyard
- 2:14junkyard dog did it one time too.
- 2:16They called himself Super Thumper or something and it was
- 2:19just Junkyard Dog with a Vasco, you know, they were, yeah, it
- 2:23was like, yeah, you, you know, the body type.
- 2:25It's hard to It's hard to not know who that is.
- 2:28Hogan Hogan one time was like. You know Mr. USA or I hate.
- 2:35I'm butchering these names. Our wrestling fans are gonna
- 2:37hate me for it. I know, I know.
- 2:39But I know we go. We're killing.
- 2:41We're killing the wrestling facts.
- 2:43But these are all things that we're going to talk more about.
- 2:46Not today, but in the future, but absolutely, dude.
- 2:49Nothing better than Jr. The handler coming in wearing a
- 2:53mask off the top rope. I could not see him, folks.
- 2:57I'm not gonna lie, I'm reading the intro.
- 2:59It's kind of part of the deal, you know?
- 3:01It's about the only thing that we're prepped for on this show.
- 3:04And I yeah, and I'm butchered it for the record, but it's fine.
- 3:09Who cares? Who cares?
- 3:10We're moving forward with it because I come back to Jr. the
- 3:14handler in a mask, and and I couldn't see you.
- 3:18I had you covered up. So it was as big of a surprise
- 3:22as it will be for the viewers. That's the only thing I bought
- 3:25when I went to Mexico last year was that mask.
- 3:27And I bought like 5 over bags, mountain friends and family.
- 3:30Everybody's kid got a mask back. I love, I love wrestling.
- 3:33Y'all know that I love it. Well, it's been prominent in the
- 3:36shot. This whole time we've been doing
- 3:38the show, so I'm glad that it finally it made it.
- 3:41When I was there a couple weeks ago, I was wanting to.
- 3:44I thought about it. I thought we.
- 3:45Regret on my Mexico trip was I should have bought 20 of them.
- 3:48I wish I would have. I kicked myself in the butt.
- 3:49I just couldn't justify the money at the time.
- 3:52But now looking back, I'm thinking that was such a good
- 3:54deal. I should have just bought them
- 3:55all I should have done. You know duffel bag follow but
- 3:58no. Hey, in wrestling fans, send us
- 4:01send us a message on Insta or somewhere like that or on the
- 4:04YouTube channel. Remind me of those wrestlers.
- 4:06Tell me who your favorite mask wrestler was.
- 4:09That was not a normal mask wrestler.
- 4:11They were a special mask wrestler and you knew it was
- 4:14another wrestler. Send us those.
- 4:15So remind us we'll shout. Give shoutouts on the show next
- 4:19week and or two and everybody, everybody who sends those in.
- 4:23Because yeah, I totally blanked on those.
- 4:25And I've, I just have watched on that recently.
- 4:27But totally blanked might be the aliens.
- 4:30Some of my, well, I don't know, it's very, very possible with
- 4:36the things that are happening now on this good earth.
- 4:41I mean, it's been kind of known for a while and that there's
- 4:46some crazy things happening with UFO's, UAP's, UA, whatever you
- 4:52whatever you want to call them, they're now officially UAP and
- 4:55unidentified aerial phenomena. But they had a congressional
- 5:01hearing this past week on UAP's and some pretty stunning things
- 5:08were, were, were said, things that have never been said
- 5:12publicly before and certainly at least not in the United States.
- 5:17But I do not believe anywhere they they appeared before the
- 5:21House Subcommittee on National Security the on the Border and
- 5:27Foreign Affairs. And they were there were three
- 5:29guys. I'm reading their names.
- 5:33David Grush. He was a former US intelligent
- 5:36official, David Fraver. He was a former Navy commander
- 5:41and Ryan Graves, a former Navy pilot, and they talked about how
- 5:45they've spotted multiple UAP's. One of them had not personally
- 5:51seen a UAP but claimed that he was informed of a multidecade
- 5:56government UAP Retrieval Program.
- 5:59Meaning yes these things have been crashing and yes we have
- 6:03been retrieving them and and in it it they he says he didn't
- 6:10call them humans. He didn't call them aliens.
- 6:13He I think he called them non beings or or non humans.
- 6:17Something along those lines that was just like oh because they
- 6:22you know they're drilling down on is this a biological thing
- 6:25and it's it was non human biological.
- 6:29So yeah, alien. A freaking alien.
- 6:33So yeah, they these are people that are high-ranking or I don't
- 6:37know if they're necessarily high-ranking, but they're
- 6:39ranking. They're in the military.
- 6:41Congress has summoned them to come in and and talk about it
- 6:44because there's some of these congressmen and women that and
- 6:48representatives are senators and all of that government officials
- 6:51that have not been able to get into these things.
- 6:54They were curious and we're at an age, I think with media being
- 6:58the way it is and everything being electronic and all of that
- 7:02to where it's like people want answers and they don't
- 7:04understand why they can't get them right the way it, you know,
- 7:07so. So we're starting to get a few
- 7:09answers on some things, and basically it looks like like
- 7:13we're being invaded and nobody's really talking much about.
- 7:17And it's happened for a long time like you said they and you
- 7:19know it was a year or so ago that the that they came out and
- 7:22said yeah, we have recovered things.
- 7:24You know, no one said anything. I don't.
- 7:26I was trying to remember what the flavor of the week was that
- 7:29week, cuz you know, as we were talking earlier, every week the
- 7:31news cycle flips so fast and you know, can't keep up.
- 7:35I can't remember what it was that month or that week.
- 7:37It was something so insignificant compared to we
- 7:40found out aliens. They were telling us for a fact.
- 7:43Yeah, we have. We have alien stuff.
- 7:45No one said anything. I was blown away.
- 7:47I was like guys, they just no one said anything.
- 7:50Everybody was worried about whatever.
- 7:52I don't know. Movie or show, whatever.
- 7:53I don't think it was Tiger King or something.
- 7:55Like everybody's worried about Yeah, something it was.
- 7:58Yeah, and I weren't. Wait, it was Tiger King They?
- 8:01Said there's Alia Jolly, but no one cared.
- 8:03Yeah, that there was an actual video released from the United
- 8:08States government. They call it the Tic Tac.
- 8:10Yeah, not tick tock Tic Tac video because it was a little
- 8:14Tic Tac that was running around and then it was here and then
- 8:17and that was from a fighter jet. And the episode Nothing on Earth
- 8:20that can do. Then the episode with Lex
- 8:22Friedman on Joe Rogan, I mean that's first hand all that
- 8:26stuff. I mean that that's first.
- 8:28These are high level air, Air Force pilots and naval pilots
- 8:32and. I mean, these are not, you know,
- 8:34you're at this, not some guy blowing smoke.
- 8:36These are highlevel people, and what do would they gain by
- 8:38making stuff up? So it's like they have nothing,
- 8:42they have nothing that's. What I'm saying there's no way
- 8:44to benefits them to make up stuff.
- 8:48It's just some. And it sounds like like you said
- 8:50we've covered it up for or just didn't say anything about it for
- 8:53a long time. And now it turns out, yeah, we
- 8:54got a whole just like the Men in Black I swear to Every time
- 8:59something like this pops up, you think back.
- 9:02And you're like, oh, they had a movie about that 20 years ago.
- 9:04The A I think that really that. And if that's true, boy, we are
- 9:08in trouble because the movies get more scary because, I mean,
- 9:13I am no longer. I'm would no longer be shocked
- 9:18if we found out that there were aliens among us that poses
- 9:22humans. They took on a human form.
- 9:24I I mean, who knows that I would have laughed at that statement
- 9:29just even though a part of me is believe this pretty much my
- 9:32whole life. Like I didn't really, really
- 9:35believe it. But the more stuff like this
- 9:38keeps coming out how can you not not believe it?
- 9:42It just makes too much sense. And then you know how how huge
- 9:47space is to think that we're the only only people are the only
- 9:52Yeah. I mean only what?
- 9:53I just I I know that that some folks for religious beliefs
- 9:58believe that it can't happen. I I've always interpreted it as
- 10:02and and then God created earth. I don't know what happened
- 10:06before then you know or after then exactly for that matter.
- 10:11We don't know. Universe is so big going.
- 10:13We could just been here and then.
- 10:15I mean I don't know. I have no idea.
- 10:17But I know one thing it is entirely too big and expansive
- 10:21and there's too many gases and all of that stuff running around
- 10:24out there for it to just that we or it.
- 10:27I think that's a little pompous of us.
- 10:30If we really think we are that we're the.
- 10:32Only one that looked in the man. Damn.
- 10:34Infinite, infinite amount of numbers.
- 10:37Places there are that this could happen, that we were the only
- 10:39one that happened to happen. Yeah, you know, no way.
- 10:41It's the same, yeah. Is just like you said, the same
- 10:43mathematically possible. And and few things that made
- 10:46every other Organism. You know, that's blown and
- 10:49strong, who knows? But it's liable to be, you know,
- 10:52rock men so far away there's no way we're ever going to see
- 10:56them. But apparently some people have
- 10:58seen something close enough that we don't know because
- 11:00unidentified aerial phenomenon. Is UFO.
- 11:05And if we can't identify it, we're America with our allies.
- 11:09The top, you know, highest level surveillance Recon radar
- 11:16technology in the world. I mean, and who else is it if
- 11:21it's not? I mean, if it's not, it's not
- 11:23Mexico or Canada. Just come up with some cool
- 11:26fighter jet that's so much better than ours.
- 11:27No, it's. I mean, between us and our
- 11:29allies, we have the best. Equipment in the on the plan
- 11:32absolutely. We know about or that we know
- 11:34about at least. Or yeah this could who knows
- 11:36this could that could be the A-Team.
- 11:38There could be the A-Team the A, Barack.
- 11:40This might have turned an old truck into the baddest spaceship
- 11:44ever, you know, I mean. Well, I think that would be the
- 11:47best case. You know, if it's an inside job
- 11:50in general, sometime inside super money, crazy, literal,
- 11:55literal. You know Tony Stark type
- 11:58character that nobody really know.
- 12:00That's the thing this, this group of people that go out
- 12:03there to the place in California, in the woods and
- 12:05with the presidents and all the weird stuff, a handful of them
- 12:08got their own little thing up here in the mountain where
- 12:11they're building super ships. Best case scenario again that
- 12:15we're doing it. Yeah, but I mean, that's so
- 12:18extreme, but so is. Aliens have been coming to,
- 12:22nobody's knowing about. So is the fact that there are
- 12:25people testifying in congressional hearings today or
- 12:30last week about Ufo's and this isn't some like you said, it's
- 12:35not your crazy methed out uncle. It's not that dude with the
- 12:38antennas. It lives out in the woods.
- 12:41It's not Nick Nolte from from from some crazy you know it's
- 12:45not this that you know it is as legit as it gets to their things
- 12:50that can't be explained. Some people have some rational
- 12:54explanations as to there's a cover up and ensure I don't you
- 13:00know the American but the world that I guess they.
- 13:05I don't know if some of this is just slowly getting leaked
- 13:08because it's like they can handle it now they expect that
- 13:11this isn't definitely too much where you know I mean when Orson
- 13:16Welles made that whole deal back in the day and it was broadcast
- 13:21all over the radio and everybody thought was that world was
- 13:24ending and all that like is it was it was a place where you got
- 13:27information And so they they thought it was real even though
- 13:32it said it was a program But if you but if you hit there it is
- 13:35but more of the world's if you're.
- 13:37But if you're jumping into that thing 7 minutes in and you miss
- 13:41the fact that this is a this is not real you're gonna lose it.
- 13:46Because I've listened to it and it's eerie phenomenal it was all
- 13:50and very eerie and like but good God that would have scared the
- 13:54pants off. I mean, you know, there's ways
- 13:57you can do that now, but so basically them that.
- 14:00They have. You're saying though, that
- 14:02basically like, if so if say for instance, we did something
- 14:05landed, we go investigate, we realize this is something, it's
- 14:09probably safer not just to go blab it, let all the news put it
- 14:12out right there. Hey, we've got something crazy
- 14:14because then the worst, the war, the world scenario, then people
- 14:18start. I think that's probably would be
- 14:20why I would The lesson learned from that would be to kind of
- 14:24let slowly leak it, which began with that Tick Tock video that
- 14:28was our Tic Tac video. That's the first thing that I
- 14:32went, oh, oh, finally, like that didn't come.
- 14:37That didn't come from somebody that that came from the United
- 14:40States government. And if they're starting to make
- 14:43fake videos with all of that, then good God, God help us all.
- 14:48I I want to believe that that that's actually legit.
- 14:52It's it's freaking UAP, man. It's funny because you think
- 14:55about it in this angle. So we're the hot, we're the most
- 14:58intelligent thing on our planet. We're the highest
- 15:00technologically advanced, you know as far as our governments
- 15:04and and stuff like that. If you go tell, if you go with
- 15:08and told some of the the people, the primitive people that still
- 15:12live in this world, in certain cultures that have still been
- 15:15excluded from modern technology and all that.
- 15:18I bet if you went and told them. There's people from other places
- 15:21coming from the sky. They would say, yeah, we already
- 15:24know, look at the look at the wall right there.
- 15:25We got, they got drawings. We've known about that for,
- 15:27yeah, 550 thousand years, you know.
- 15:29Yeah, it's on the thing We've been trying to tell y'all, you
- 15:32know what I'm saying? So I I wonder if it's like you
- 15:35think we built those pyramids? Come on man, is it like, you
- 15:39know, maybe that was something was probably for the best to
- 15:42phase that out, not freak, because maybe there was
- 15:44something that happened one time as us, because you think about
- 15:48this too. This is what I was thinking
- 15:49about when we're talking about their movement and stuff and how
- 15:52how our technologies advanced. So far we've only been traveling
- 16:00out of the solar system, I mean, out of our atmosphere for what,
- 16:0350 years? Maybe that started in the 50s,
- 16:05late 50s, Soviets went up 60s, maybe it was still hit or miss.
- 16:09And then yet late 50s, early 60s, early 60s.
- 16:13So when we finally made it. So yeah, so you'd say 50-60
- 16:16years ago? Since then, you know, we've made
- 16:20some strides, definitely with these scopes and stuff.
- 16:22Real good documentary out about the new, the new scope that that
- 16:26wasn't going to make it. Now they've got the new
- 16:27pictures. You saw that with the pictures
- 16:29of the believable. It's a picture of a of a black
- 16:34hole forming and then a Galaxy. Forming too.
- 16:37They've got them better, so they pull back and see how many of
- 16:40those there are. You're like, Oh my gosh.
- 16:43You know, yeah, there's just no way we're by our.
- 16:45Way the the, the just the always.
- 16:48The chance of probability by numbers for me was always.
- 16:51There's just too much. There's no way.
- 16:54That was, as when we were kids, our knowledge of the size of the
- 16:57universe, which they always said it goes on forever and all of
- 17:01that. But it's hard to really think
- 17:03outside of like, to the Milky Way, basically.
- 17:06And then and then that's like, wow, that's so far.
- 17:09The Milky Way's close. Yeah.
- 17:12Milky. Milky Way is like going from
- 17:14here to baton. It's like me driving.
- 17:16Yeah, yeah, it's like me driving over to your house.
- 17:18That's how close. It is like, right.
- 17:20Yeah, that's that. That ain't that, ain't it?
- 17:22Imagine, imagine if you drive. Imagine if you drive to Germany
- 17:27from that. How?
- 17:28How much farther that is? You're like, whoa, yeah, you're
- 17:31still not to Tokyo yet? You know how?
- 17:35No. But think about in that time
- 17:37since we've went to space. Man has left Earth to go to
- 17:42space. We've only been so far.
- 17:45If these things are coming from so far, we haven't seen them
- 17:48yet. How techno, how advanced must
- 17:51they be? Because if they're coming from
- 17:53so far away or are they close, hiding on Mars and we just can't
- 17:57see them? I mean maybe, but if not, that
- 18:00means they're if they can go that far, they are way advanced,
- 18:03You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah.
- 18:05I mean, I I don't think we're not obviously other.
- 18:09Solar systems. Not yet, no.
- 18:11We're not there yet. But they may be here to teach us
- 18:13some of that, and they may be here to teach us some of that.
- 18:16They may be teaching us some of that.
- 18:18I don't know. Who knows?
- 18:20You know, I mean, there's been some things that have been
- 18:22invented pretty insanely. That's like, how does a human
- 18:26being come up with that? I mean, I I'm not very smart,
- 18:31but like Einstein, totally crazy example.
- 18:34But I mean, dude, the stuff that he came up with and the theories
- 18:39that are being proven, you know, almost 100 years later, sixty
- 18:447080 years later, Absolutely incredible.
- 18:48How does a human being get that smart?
- 18:52I'm not calling. I'm not calling Albert Einstein
- 18:55an alien. But maybe he was, You know, I
- 18:58don't know one. I don't know.
- 19:00I don't know what's real anymore, Handler.
- 19:02That's the problem. Robert Johnson talked to an
- 19:04alien at the crossroads. And not the devil, I mean, you
- 19:08know very. Possibly play the heck out of
- 19:10that guitar when it got done, you know, You know, I mean you
- 19:15bring up a good point there. I mean it's just so hard to know
- 19:18and everything you think is one way.
- 19:20Like the saying going back to my statement about movies, you
- 19:23science fiction is now reality. So it's like, what about the
- 19:27movies? Everything since then is that
- 19:30going to dictate? I mean, is this just a peak into
- 19:32the future? Because if so, I mean.
- 19:36I hope we get some of the good movies.
- 19:37I hope we end up like some of the good ones and not the bad
- 19:40ones. Like, you know, all this AI
- 19:42stuff, you know, they warned us about that and Ex Machia
- 19:44already, you know, and and term. Yeah, that's right.
- 19:47And I did watch. The 1,000,000 percent.
- 19:48You told us about that and I did watch it.
- 19:50And good Lord Almighty. Yeah.
- 19:53I mean, I, you know, I could totally see that.
- 19:56How? You fall in love and it gets all
- 20:01weird, but no emotion. It's a robot.
- 20:04No emotion. Do their own dole motion that's
- 20:06rival no emotion and that. And when she walks away it's
- 20:09like Oh my, she's gonna leave just suffocate in there.
- 20:11I'd give it away. I don't care y'all gonna watch X
- 20:13maki if you're yeah if you're if that's about as scary of the
- 20:18scary is of. I don't like horror movies.
- 20:20I like stuff like I don't like it, but I can watch stuff like
- 20:24that. Because you think, man, that
- 20:26could really happen. Like some of the.
- 20:29Some of the doomsday type movies that have came out over the past
- 20:32decade or so when the meteor hits and you know Dennis Quaid
- 20:36has to get his family out. Armageddon, yeah, that kind of
- 20:39stuff. Because that you think, man, I
- 20:42that that could be a thing. But it's happened before on this
- 20:45earth. Yeah, exactly.
- 20:47And and it's going to happen again.
- 20:49You know, it's going to get hit by a big meteor.
- 20:52It's going to kill a bunch of people.
- 20:53I mean it's there could be a whole other Ice Age that happens
- 20:58and then all of this and then you know people 10,000 years
- 21:04from now come back. Make a comeback and they see all
- 21:07of these cities and stuff, but then there aren't pyramids and
- 21:10things like that this time. Just cowboy stadiums.
- 21:14Only thing left because you think, I bet.
- 21:15I think back in the day they were big.
- 21:17I know we know they were. We find stuff all the time.
- 21:20There's probably been several. Times in in periods in history
- 21:24where there were big cities, Not big as we have now, but way more
- 21:28grand and a lot more to them. But time will he?
- 21:32You know, it will crumble, All that concrete, anything,
- 21:35eventually. I mean, even plastic you build
- 21:37out of plastic, you know, Eventually it will too.
- 21:40I'm talking about million years from now.
- 21:41But this rock ain't going nowhere.
- 21:44We go away, it'll be here a million years from now.
- 21:45We'll find out, you know. So it's like if once, and that's
- 21:49what you were saying, when you're younger, you can't put
- 21:50into respect of how big space is.
- 21:52Same with time. When you're young, you don't
- 21:54think back. You think back like paw paw and
- 21:56The Pioneers and the you know, the the the olden days and the
- 22:01you know. But then when you really think
- 22:03back, you're like no time. That is a lot.
- 22:05This rock has been spinning out here for a lot longer than you
- 22:09think at first, you know. Times a lot.
- 22:13It makes you think, Yeah, a lot of things could have happened.
- 22:15There could have been a civilization just like us, maybe
- 22:19even more advanced. A million years ago.
- 22:23Well, a bad something happened. Shocked.
- 22:25Cold, hot. Cold hot.
- 22:26For, yeah, 500,000 years. There's no remnants of.
- 22:30It's all turned back to dirt again.
- 22:31It's just dirt again. Alien.
- 22:34You aliens come drop the seed back on Earth or whatever.
- 22:38Yeah. Or the OR The Who?
- 22:39Are those, you know, the 100 or 250 people that lived and they
- 22:44were in a cave and somehow stuck it out and had enough to, you
- 22:47know, I mean, yeah, I mean it could go.
- 22:50There's just no telling. There's just no telling but one.
- 22:53But one thing for sure that we know is a fact.
- 22:56It is being talked about publicly here and this will get
- 23:01the ball rolling in other places.
- 23:03It's going to be taught. There have been rumors that
- 23:05Russia's engaged A UAP. I went, I went down a rabbit
- 23:09hole with this, of course. I mean, I've gone down rabbit
- 23:13holes with Ufo's and Uap's. So when I saw that this was
- 23:17happening, I was like I was excited because I didn't know
- 23:19what would be said. And look, I have the link on our
- 23:24on our Twitter. Oh, I'm sorry, On our.
- 23:27Oh yeah, I have our I have the link at the Tigs Bits podcast on
- 23:32Twitter X or it's now on X, formerly normally known as
- 23:38Twitter. There it is.
- 23:39Yeah. What a dumbass name.
- 23:41Dude. My God.
- 23:42I mean, I I mean, I love Elon Musk and I I like a lot.
- 23:47I like everything that he's been doing with Twitter.
- 23:50I'm huge. I love Twitter.
- 23:51I really do. Our ex again.
- 23:53I'm sorry. It's always going to be Twitter
- 23:55to me, dude. Twitter, bro.
- 23:56Yeah, I don't. How do you rebrand a freaking
- 24:00household name? I I don't know.
- 24:02I don't care how good he makes the app.
- 24:05It's always going to be Twitter. It's just Twitter.
- 24:08I yeah, I think of some other examples.
- 24:10But yeah, he's not going to win this.
- 24:11Everybody's just going to call it Twitter.
- 24:13He's not gonna win this one. No, I mean.
- 24:15Hopefully he makes his head, I mean, but he is making it
- 24:18better. I can tell you right now if you
- 24:20haven't go head over to at Tigs Bits Podcast.
- 24:24It's all lower case, just Tigs Bits Podcast and follow our X
- 24:31page. He messed it up.
- 24:33It's like, it's like, yeah, follow our Twitter page like it
- 24:35doesn't make any. No, it's like, it's like giving
- 24:37your kid a name, but like a normal name, but changing like
- 24:41three of the letters to make it look cool.
- 24:43You're like, man, you're just torturing this kid.
- 24:45Well, he does that too. I'm saying he's done that with
- 24:48his children's names and and acted abuses he has.
- 24:51Wise everywhere or something. You're like, man, it's just
- 24:53don't confuse that kid for the rest of his life.
- 24:55It really does. Yes exactly.
- 25:00But Elon first with when he started PayPal it was called
- 25:04something else blah blah blah. He was the first to have x.com
- 25:09www.x.com and then it's just he's kept the rights to it or
- 25:15whatever maintain that domain name and then he all the stuff's
- 25:20happened with him and then bam he moves Twitter over to X
- 25:24rebranded it. The he says he's not leaving San
- 25:28Francisco. That was in a tweet, you know,
- 25:30the other day, yesterday or whenever that they're people are
- 25:34saying they're going to leave. He's not.
- 25:36They're going to stay in San Francisco.
- 25:38He's got the big X that flashes like a strobe light on top of
- 25:42the the building. I'm sure the people in the
- 25:45apartments around it absolutely love that.
- 25:48Yeah, so like you. Hear about the guy who has
- 25:50everything Twitter handle X. It was a photographer guy.
- 25:55He had the X hat. X at Twitter, you know.
- 25:58At X, yeah. At X.
- 25:59You know. Wow.
- 26:01And I you know I just read this don't know if it's true or not.
- 26:04But yeah, he was he would he had got it right when it started.
- 26:07You know because he it was part of his.
- 26:09I think it was a photographer or something filmmaker or something
- 26:11like that maybe. Yeah.
- 26:13Japan or somewhere. But you know, should they have
- 26:17bought it from him? What should happen I?
- 26:19Can't remember how it went down exactly, but something to the
- 26:21effect of they gave him like a severance package for it.
- 26:24Basically they gave him some free goodies and some gift
- 26:26cards. It's a it's a swag.
- 26:29And he's like, they just kind of took it from him too, I think
- 26:32from what I heard. How about some?
- 26:34How about a couple? Of that's what I was.
- 26:36So, you know, I mean, let's give me a job.
- 26:38I mean, it isn't like Elon can't can't freaking swing it.
- 26:42Well, and I'd Speaking of that, wrapping that up, Elon Musk X
- 26:47slash Twitter as like I said, we're gonna always call it
- 26:49Twitter. Blue and even the black thing on
- 26:51there, the blue check. I mean the blue bird that makes
- 26:55so sense. Yeah, I but time that back into
- 26:58I'm not if I'm a big fan of Twitter and I'm a fan of XI
- 27:02Really do like the black just don't everything.
- 27:04But am I don't like No I do not like it so far.
- 27:07But I'm willing to see what he does with it.
- 27:10I just don't see. I just don't see what it's gonna
- 27:13be. Well, I just.
- 27:14Sent him a check so he might be able to break a little of that
- 27:17off for the guy who's handily took but I got, which we'll have
- 27:23for future episodes. We can talk about it once I get
- 27:26it hooked up. I got the new star link.
- 27:31Oh nice man. Freaking Starling.
- 27:35For back here in the back house, because I live down here in
- 27:38South, yeah, as. You know, I live in South
- 27:40Alabama and the weather's crazy and the this and the that, but
- 27:42I'm going to make sure we have good Internet for the studio.
- 27:45So I'd ordered that in 21 and you get on a list and when it
- 27:49becomes you put a deposit down, then when it becomes available
- 27:52in your area they. They set it up in your area, you
- 27:57know, and we, we went down the totem pole.
- 28:00I guess a lot of people weren't signing up for it down here.
- 28:03And they said, I think they had shifted a lot of the usage over
- 28:06to the war in East Eastern Europe and Ukraine and stuff of
- 28:11their efforts during that time. But so anyway, two years later,
- 28:13I finally get it. You pay for the hardware and so
- 28:16you own that and then you pay $100 a month for the Internet
- 28:20service 120, something like that.
- 28:21But theoretically I should have satellite Internet.
- 28:25All the time. Oh yeah, from flying.
- 28:27And if people will know the star link.
- 28:29If you've seen the pictures recently of the line of what
- 28:33people some people thought were aliens, the line of satellites
- 28:35going around like a little Choo Choo train in the sky.
- 28:37That's the satellites for the Star Link.
- 28:40Because they're there are aliens, but they're a little
- 28:43more elusive. No, they they're not that dumb.
- 28:46Yeah, very much so. Now we got all kinds of, yeah,
- 28:49before. To hide or we got bushes out in
- 28:50the in the atmosphere for them to hide.
- 28:52Hunter, you know. Yeah exactly.
- 28:55We we've littered the sky up there that they can hide behind
- 28:59them. But that's cool man.
- 29:01Yeah, every test I've watched YouTube videos and stuff like
- 29:05that because especially where I'm from in rural West, central
- 29:10Louisiana and and all through there, you know, high speed
- 29:13Internet is a is an issue. You can't get it and I can't get
- 29:17it so. I live on an island.
- 29:19You know, I mean it's. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
- 29:22It's hit or miss. Justin lives out.
- 29:24Justin Moore, he lives out in you know country and Arkansas
- 29:27and he had trouble. He had the message he could get.
- 29:30But it was just terrible because he was so far out.
- 29:32He got he got it last year he got his we he signed up for his
- 29:36after I did. But IT service came to his area
- 29:40before me and it rocks at his house.
- 29:42We have him on the tour buses now.
- 29:45Jeff, our production manager, He teased in North Dakota camping
- 29:48this week. He takes the popup set with him,
- 29:50so he's got it. The only hang up is if you've
- 29:52got a bad storm and you can't get a clear shot to the sky
- 29:55right as long as you. Got a clear shot in the sky.
- 29:57It'll work anywhere. So that's a little plug for him.
- 30:00I'm hoping it works well. Has worked well so far because
- 30:02I'm a big fan of Tesla, Elon. I love the creativity.
- 30:06Oh yeah, the advancement, you know.
- 30:08I'm sure no one, no one running anything too high level is got a
- 30:11little kook in them. So yeah, and even as normal
- 30:13folks got a lot. Look, I I think he's gonna
- 30:17eventually sell Twitter and and somebody will probably rename it
- 30:22back, but he's gonna build it the way.
- 30:24He won't say I've looked. I've been very pleased with it.
- 30:26We have the blue check mark over at the Tigs Bits podcast.
- 30:30Multiple reasons. I don't want anybody to make a
- 30:33fake page and not that anybody really is, but it does stop to
- 30:37stop that some. So anything you, you know, it's
- 30:40going to be verified from us. I find that the engagement is a
- 30:45lot better than it used to be on there, not just with our show
- 30:48but with everything. And then that kind of brings me
- 30:52into threads. The knock off of Twitter or XI
- 30:56mean I've got an account. I'm on it.
- 30:59But man, what a joke. Is it?
- 31:00I haven't. That thing's terrible.
- 31:02It's a joke, dude. Well, here's my stance with
- 31:06Facebook and Meta. Really with meta.
- 31:10Who owns Facebook and Instagram? Well, all they've ever done.
- 31:14They're really good at pressing Control C, right?
- 31:17Copy. Yeah.
- 31:18And then pressing Control V, right.
- 31:20And pasting. And that's all they've done.
- 31:23Yeah, they found. Yeah, that's what they call it
- 31:26on that old Zucky. I listened to RAW.
- 31:31Oh gosh. Robin Hood snacks.
- 31:35It used to be. Now it's called the best one
- 31:37yet. It's a this two guys a little
- 31:39morning market report type thing and that's without the sucking,
- 31:41the sucking effect because that's basically what said
- 31:43they'll they let somebody else get it right, then they just
- 31:46suck it and take the same thing and put that's exactly that's
- 31:48it. That's what they do man.
- 31:50And I mean I jumped on it. I like, I like that you could
- 31:53post some links and stuff like that in there, but then you
- 31:57can't. Like you can control your feed
- 32:00with Twitter and you can make lists and stuff like you can
- 32:04keep it organized to basically see what you want to see if
- 32:07that's how you want to do it. There's no customization what?
- 32:10So all in threads, I know it may be coming and whatnot, but at
- 32:14the end of the day, it's basically going to be free
- 32:17speech, which is Twitter or X versus meta.
- 32:21And that's I'm going to choose free speech every time.
- 32:25So yeah, I agree, you know, I mean, if I'm choosing.
- 32:27Yeah, we'll see. Yeah.
- 32:28It's kind of one of those things.
- 32:29You've got to see how it rolls out.
- 32:30We're there if it get, if it takes all.
- 32:32See how it engages. See how it works out.
- 32:34And I mean like they may think, you know it may push the other
- 32:37ones to tighten up some some things they could improve on,
- 32:40you know, competent. That's the thing market
- 32:42competition should. It should include evolution and
- 32:46you know creativity. Absolutely able to come up with
- 32:48better stuff. But only time will tell.
- 32:51As we've said the Fed throughout this podcast, you really never
- 32:53know. It's.
- 32:55No playbook. There's no Back to the Future.
- 32:58Look, DeLorean, to take us ahead to see what's going to happen.
- 33:01We're all going to find out at the same time, basically, you
- 33:04know, that kind of, that kind of leads me into while we're
- 33:08talking about times are a changing and things, but yet
- 33:12things are staying the same. You know last week huge
- 33:16controversy with that Jason Aldean song in a small town or
- 33:21what whatever it's called, you know, I'm sure that you have a
- 33:26thought on that being a tour manager and being in the
- 33:29business. You know what?
- 33:32What are you, What are your thoughts on how you know we're
- 33:35about a week of after all of that kind of how it's played out
- 33:39a little bit, you know, and and is it a big deal or not?
- 33:43I mean, I one, I haven't been on the road much and I hadn't, so I
- 33:46hadn't had to engage with it. And I don't watch the news and
- 33:49stuff except for my local news. So I hadn't had to deal with as
- 33:52much as I normally would have, but I've been paying attention
- 33:57somewhat. Yeah.
- 33:58To me, it's just like we were saying earlier, every week
- 34:00there's something new. This will be over in a few
- 34:02minutes. It's just always something.
- 34:04I mean, it's just crazy to me What, you know, if it goes free
- 34:09speech, you know, I mean like of of all the and all of the stuff
- 34:12that gets put out and gets interpreted a certain way, I'm
- 34:15like, I mean the stuff we sometimes and the people.
- 34:19And I'm not. Sticking up for him because I
- 34:21don't, I don't really even know him.
- 34:24But other people I've seen, you know, sometimes it's warranted,
- 34:29but it ain't always, you know, and it's sometimes it's just is
- 34:33what it is. And I mean, I look at it.
- 34:36It's not a big deal to me because there's way worse stuff
- 34:39going on in this world currently right this second that we need
- 34:42to be putting our attention to and not, yeah, like aliens.
- 34:45Not, I mean, you know, we go down exactly.
- 34:48I mean the whole. You know, inclusion now creating
- 34:53exclusion and the the the people just wanting to fuss and fight
- 34:58and stuff. I just think it's all that's
- 35:00what it. Just all boils down to people
- 35:01want to argue and fight and they just have that instead of love
- 35:05and acceptance is what we should be trying to do.
- 35:08Let's work this out. Everybody's different, but we're
- 35:10all really the same, so. But people just want to choose
- 35:15to fight, apparently. And I'm and I'm and if someone
- 35:17was truly, you know, hurting and there was some wrongdoing
- 35:19somewhere with someone you know. But shit happens, then sure
- 35:24happens all the time with stuff you know.
- 35:26And it's like, yeah, as long as no one was attentional,
- 35:29intentionally trying to hurt someone, you know, like.
- 35:32But I think back of like you talking about free speech.
- 35:34I know when we were kids, I mean, I had the Ice T body count
- 35:38tape. You know what I mean when he's
- 35:39talking about. Oh, absolutely, Yeah.
- 35:41You know, I had it. I was really sure, But I wasn't
- 35:43wanting to keep, you know, I wouldn't didn't want him, nobody
- 35:46to kill a cop. I had N.W.A and all that stuff,
- 35:49man. And I would talk about the song
- 35:51really changed my outlook. I would.
- 35:53I like the music. I would have rather banned the
- 35:55Song of the year last year. The one with the P word in it
- 35:57that every all the kids. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 35:59Yeah, I'd rather have that. Should have never.
- 36:01Kids should have never got to hear that.
- 36:03You know what I mean. So that's way.
- 36:05Above all of it, if you don't like anything you've got.
- 36:09All you got is change, Change, turn it off, change.
- 36:11That's it. You know you can.
- 36:12When my phone used to ring right to move on my.
- 36:15Phone used to ring all the time. My old buddy the Gover love
- 36:17David Brian Gulliver, a drummer friend of mine, my one of my
- 36:20first roommates in Nashville. He let me live in his guest room
- 36:22of love. He used to tell me when I'd my
- 36:25phone ring. I said, God, they won't quit.
- 36:27Call it where him out, he said. You do know there's a solution
- 36:29to that? He had some great old road was,
- 36:32you know, there's a solution. I said really.
- 36:34What? I mean, how can I get it to not
- 36:36happen so much, you know, people wearing me out and keep calling
- 36:38me over stuff? He'd said, well, you go in there
- 36:41and get your owner's manual to you phone, and you flip to page
- 36:44one or two and there'll be the instructions in there how to
- 36:47turn it off. And it's usually hold down the
- 36:48red button for two to three seconds and then all that'll go
- 36:51away. You know what I mean?
- 36:54Unbelievable. It's magic.
- 36:55Magic tricks, all you know. I always think that, like, you
- 36:58know, because, like just turn it off, turn it off, don't.
- 37:01And the worst thing you could do, really for most of that
- 37:05stuff is. Backlash at it and caused
- 37:08uproar. Cuz all it's gonna do is put
- 37:09more attention, draw more attention.
- 37:11It's kind of like you start alienating.
- 37:12Well, it's like the bully thing. You.
- 37:14Don't. If you don't, you don't.
- 37:15You don't play into the bully stuff.
- 37:17You just if you ignore it don't say anything.
- 37:19You just if it'll go away just ignore you know just ignore it.
- 37:22Yeah. I mean Jason is bull guy that
- 37:25obviously we love the drive by truckers we have I love.
- 37:29I love is well he's a great singer-songwriter.
- 37:32Don't always agree with the way he handles things on Twitter
- 37:35especially, but I didn't like that he called out.
- 37:38Well, you know Al Dean, basically you don't write your
- 37:41own songs and but like that in our in my small town we write
- 37:45our own songs I think. Yeah we try to write a song by
- 37:47ourselves or something like that and I'm thinking and yeah and I
- 37:50don't and I'm obviously music wise, I'm team isable all day
- 37:54and no absolutely culture. Yeah, I mean no, no offense, Al
- 37:57Dean whatever. She's got some good hits.
- 37:59That's never was never my flavor really though, but I'm.
- 38:03This was from Bammo man. Some Muscle Shoals guy.
- 38:05I love his too. He's a great writer.
- 38:06He's a thespian almost. He's mastered the English
- 38:09language. He's great at what he does.
- 38:13But that comment though it bores.
- 38:17That goes back to the lash out just fight thing that that there
- 38:19bores more quest that should be a discussion about that well is
- 38:22Jason never had a cowrite, he never cowritten.
- 38:24He's never cowritten a song, right, he?
- 38:27Never done an outside cut. You've never done a cover of an
- 38:30outside cut. You know, I'm thinking.
- 38:32You know these guys that do songs certain ways.
- 38:34Like Justin doesn't write for other people.
- 38:35He writes for himself and he'll write 40 songs for an album or
- 38:39whatever in a year or Two's time or sometimes ideas been around
- 38:43forever, but he's writing those for him.
- 38:45But at the end when he has all that and all the in his producer
- 38:48and his buddies send him other songs that he writes with.
- 38:51He's picking the best songs out of the bunch, you know.
- 38:53But so there are different types of artists.
- 38:55There's an artist that's trying to get.
- 38:57I'm just trying to put the best songs that.
- 38:59For I can get put out for my voice, my musical creative, what
- 39:04I'm trying to accomplish. Then there's and is Will If he
- 39:07and I like I said, I don't really know for sure.
- 39:08I'm sure he broke most of his stuff, probably all of it.
- 39:11But I'm sure he cowrote some too with other people.
- 39:14So that's just this is an art storming here, is it?
- 39:19Yeah. But his is a form of.
- 39:21He wants to get out with his way with it.
- 39:23It's this different angle. It's just two different types.
- 39:25It's Picasso. And Rembrandt, some people like
- 39:27one or better the other. That's not saying either one of
- 39:29them's wrong, and I'm not calling either of the other, but
- 39:31I'm just saying. So for that, that comment just
- 39:34was kind of like, really of all this shit you gonna say I'm
- 39:37like, I just feel like it was petty.
- 39:39And I'm like, you know, dude, it's bad here, I'm sorry.
- 39:44I don't know. And I want to interrupt this.
- 39:45I'm kind of like I've never heard, I've never heard wind
- 39:49come in this shed. Wrap up, you looking at it, I'm
- 39:52hearing some hail. It's hailing a little bit, you
- 39:54know. Talk, you know, quick fun fact
- 39:57about music. You know The Drive by Truckers,
- 39:58right when they first had their this is their first album and
- 40:02all that stuff. You know, they went to go, they
- 40:04had some support and they had you know, thing was things were
- 40:06starting to happen and they were going to do a home.
- 40:08I think it was in Decatur or Huntsville or something.
- 40:10They were going to do a big theater for their first show and
- 40:14had all these people invited into her in a tornado came
- 40:16through. The day of the show.
- 40:19Well, well, it Well, didn't they write a song about it?
- 40:23Tornadoes story. Yeah, I'm pretty sure do my I
- 40:28need to brush up on all my, all my knowledge.
- 40:30So when I tell these stories, I'm more accurate because when
- 40:32I'm in, when I'm talking about it, if I've talked about it
- 40:35recently, I'm a lot more efficient with these stories.
- 40:38But right. But anyway, yeah, so on that
- 40:40day, so on that song thing, I think there's way more important
- 40:43things we need to be concentrating our efforts on and
- 40:45taken care of. I don't think anybody
- 40:47intentionally was trying to offend or hurt anyone.
- 40:51I don't think that this big coup was planned to start this, to
- 40:58incite something, to get some notoriety.
- 41:02I do think once he starts rolling, though, everybody wants
- 41:04to chime in because if it's a big story, they're going to get
- 41:06talking about. So I mean, so really.
- 41:09Again, absolutely easy pop for some press.
- 41:12If you don't like, you know, just ignore it.
- 41:14And I just think and I think in the music community, you
- 41:18shouldn't take shots at each other.
- 41:19You shouldn't take shots at anybody period.
- 41:21Unless somebody's done you wrong.
- 41:22No. So yeah exactly.
- 41:25And especially if you're working the same kind of job because
- 41:27that brings the whole industry down.
- 41:29You want your stuff to go up, right.
- 41:31That's like if you exactly, if I always use wrestling as an
- 41:34analogy. If you're wrestling for this
- 41:35company and there's one that's not quite as big as your you
- 41:37know just going to dog it out because you want it to get good
- 41:39that way both of y'all make more money.
- 41:41It'll be competition. You know, I know we've talked on
- 41:44the phone on our pre show talk. We've got a couple guests lined
- 41:47up for the next couple weeks just trying to get scheduling
- 41:49with them. Got one coming up that we talked
- 41:52about that's involved with the new book that's coming out in
- 41:56August. So we're going to talk about
- 41:58that Something's got something to do with some music and
- 42:00culture and everything else. Texas friends of ours, we're
- 42:02going to bring him on, talk about that and a couple of a
- 42:07couple other cool things. I know we actually, after the
- 42:12Taylor Hicks show that you and I got to go to, we said you side
- 42:16text Taylor and he. Won't say Taylor Hick Taylor
- 42:20Hicks sent the show a message, said he looks forward to coming
- 42:23on, so we just got to lock down a.
- 42:25Locked down the time and and and Taylor Hicks is coming on.
- 42:29Absolutely, man. Soul Patrol.
- 42:32So, you know, I'm fired up about that and I know I've got, I've
- 42:36got a couple and we talked about this too.
- 42:38I've got a couple sports buddies.
- 42:39When it gets a little closer to football season, I'll bring on a
- 42:41couple real special guests to talk a little preseason stuff
- 42:44with us. Yeah, football and.
- 42:46Big stuff. Coming up Jr.
- 42:48Big stuff. I love it.
- 42:50But we'll Sir, we'll sign off for Blacey today.
- 42:52I'm Jr., the handler take nasty on the wheel ones and twos over
- 42:56there I'm going to read another. I don't know if anyone got one
- 43:01last. We leave, leave us, but no, we
- 43:03didn't. We didn't.
- 43:04We weren't able to drop it. So this will be the first time
- 43:07in the way. I do believe we're going to
- 43:09close the show every time. This is from Let's all make the
- 43:12day count, the everyday wisdom of Charlie Daniels #17.
- 43:17Keep on knocking. Ask and it will be given to you.
- 43:20Seek and you will find knock and the door will open to you.
- 43:24Matthew 7 Seven Dreams are only wistful thoughts until they are
- 43:29combined with action. Until then, they live only in
- 43:32our minds, locked behind doors we haven't knocked on yet.
- 43:35Sometimes following a dream is like jumping off the high,
- 43:38diving board into the deep water and having to learn to swim all
- 43:42over again. It can require sacrifice, doing
- 43:45something we've never done before.
- 43:47Learning, asking, seeking, sometimes taking two steps
- 43:51forward and one step back, but constantly and unwaveringly
- 43:56moving towards the goal. I've knocked on a lot of doors
- 43:59in my time, returning again and again.
- 44:02Even when they refused to budget, I just kept on knocking
- 44:05and finally the doors open. One of the true desires of my
- 44:09life was to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
- 44:12I played the Opry for years, but it was never asked to join.
- 44:16It seemed that door would never open for me, but I just kept on
- 44:19knocking. Finally, at the age of 72, I was
- 44:22asked to be a member and it was one of the biggest honors of my
- 44:25life and absolutely worth all the hard work and waiting it
- 44:29took to get there. Something that began as what
- 44:32seemed to be impossible dream in the mind of a Carolina country
- 44:36boy many decades ago came true. Sometimes knocking is not
- 44:40enough. You just got to stay with it
- 44:42until you beat the door down. Let's all make the day count.
- 44:46And and with that, we'll sign off before my roof.
- 44:50Flies off of my house. I'm hearing sounds in the attic
- 44:55that are not good. We got us a storm baby.
- 44:58I love it, buddy. Be safe.
- 44:59We'll talk soon.
