• 2:20
  many people over the last year. It's nuts.
• 2:23
  It is nuts. It's absolutely nuts.
• 2:25
  You said that the other day, talking about how many views and
• 2:27
  how many hours watched. It's it's just kind of insane,
• 2:31
  you know? It all adds up and it's pretty
• 2:34
  crazy, man. So it's good stuff.
• 2:36
  We've, I mean I've, I've had a blast doing it, man.
• 2:40
  It's it's been nothing but fun. I I just can't wait for this
• 2:42
  year, man. I think it's just going to be
• 2:44
  like a really, really good year for us.
• 2:45
  And he's, as he was saying, you want to get your brand out
• 2:47
  there. You want to advertise with us,
• 2:49
  Come on in. The water is fine.
• 2:51
  We are taking applications right now.
• 2:53
  I mean, they're stacked up and going through them all day.
• 2:56
  To say and anywhere in the country it's suitable for but
• 3:01
  here in the South you know we we kind of got our bases covered
• 3:04
  real thick down here and I can tell you this I know Blasey and
• 3:07
  if I know anything about him Troy getting having this shake
• 3:10
  up in at at their head football position coach position.
• 3:14
  Blasey's going to be on a tear this this spring and fall you're
• 3:18
  going to want to be on this ride.
• 3:19
  I'm telling you this is going to be this is going to be next
• 3:22
  level stuff. I can already feel it.
• 3:24
  I mean between Murph being one of the youngest credentialed
• 3:29
  reporters of all time and Blasey coming on strong as multi
• 3:34
  athlete, multi talented now media personality, I think.
• 3:40
  I think if, if I would, if I had a business, I would want to want
• 3:44
  to be sponsored on TIGS bits, yeah.
• 3:46
  For sure. No brainer.
• 3:48
  An absolute no brainer man. It really is.
• 3:51
  Got a couple guys in the chat. Hey boys, happy New Year to
• 3:56
  Jason Hilton and happy New Years to Paul Rogers.
• 3:59
  Once again. I we knew they would be in here
• 4:03
  hanging out with us, you know. Cheers boys.
• 4:05
  Just drinking the water tonight, losing my voice.
• 4:09
  Lot of cheer over the past several days.
• 4:14
  I just started. I just realized it's right when
• 4:17
  we start to kick into this. Like, oh, like I'm losing my
• 4:20
  voice, what better time than now.
• 4:22
  But Nah, I'm going to be fine. But anyhow, so yeah guys, this
• 4:28
  is going to be an absolute blast to do.
• 4:33
  I've put it together over the course.
• 4:36
  I've really, I've been thinking about this for a little kind of,
• 4:39
  you know, we need to do a best of a good recap.
• 4:42
  We need to end Season 2 with a bang.
• 4:46
  Season one was amazing. Really kind of gave us a good
• 4:50
  footing. Season 2 has been unreal.
• 4:53
  So I thought, why not go through walk through this and and see.
• 4:58
  So the way that I did it, kind of the way that I formed this
• 5:02
  list. And we're going to look at
• 5:04
  several, several video clips that had quite a reach over
• 5:09
  social media be it on TikTok be it on YouTube, Facebook,
• 5:15
  Instagram, several you know just about any anywhere that you can
• 5:19
  watch any of these kind of clips that's that's where we had them.
• 5:23
  So the reach unbelievable and I just want to start to dive into
• 5:29
  it because we, you know the way that it all started was earlier
• 5:35
  the summer with our good friend Mr. Bubba the Love Sponge and
• 5:41
  and and I think. He's best friend.
• 5:43
  Yeah, that's right. He's a, he's, he's a, he's a,
• 5:48
  he's definitely. Bubba is a huge fan of Blasey,
• 5:53
  for sure, and for good reason. For good.
• 5:56
  Reason, he explains. Yeah, yeah, we, we all are.
• 5:59
  I think everybody can. Everybody can appreciate that.
• 6:02
  But we have to thank the Bubba Army.
• 6:05
  We have to thank Bubba the Love Sponge, you know, for for
• 6:09
  discovering our little clip, having fun with us and kind of
• 6:14
  really getting us kicked off. So I went through all these
• 6:17
  videos, man. It was like, you know, we just
• 6:21
  came off of doing the Christmas brackets, all of that little
• 6:25
  internal debate, just a lot of, a lot of fun.
• 6:28
  This was equally as hard. So I had to set up a criteria.
• 6:32
  How do I do it? I got like the top 20, Top 25
• 6:36
  videos that we had, you know, with the views, watch hours, all
• 6:41
  of that stuff, and they're all mixed into this.
• 6:45
  And then there's some other videos that are just funny, had
• 6:48
  had a lot of views, stuff like that, but kind of represent our
• 6:52
  show. You've seen most of them, some
• 6:55
  you may not have seen, but I wanted to set it up kind of like
• 6:59
  it's a kind of like it's a concert.
• 7:01
  You know we're going in. So I have this done as a set
• 7:05
  list. So there's some ebbs and flows
• 7:07
  and vibes throughout this deal. So we're going to start with
• 7:10
  Bubba the Love Sponge cause what better place to start with a
• 7:14
  come right out, let's kick your ass.
• 7:17
  Let's get into this with Bubba And so let's see the the the old
• 7:23
  Bubba. So the the clip here that I'm
• 7:26
  going to show, the first clip, it is Blasey explaining how
• 7:34
  basically just basically just trying to explain who the hell
• 7:38
  Bubba the Love Sponge is and he does it in such a delicate way.
• 7:41
  But this is the clip they got us, got us to where we're at,
• 7:46
  really. This dude's great.
• 7:47
  Like, he's just talking, You know, he's got crazy guests on,
• 7:50
  great friends with Hulk Hogan. Then this radio war started
• 7:53
  happening between the afternoon guy Bubba, he let Hulk Hogan
• 7:57
  have sex with his wife and it was recorded.
• 8:00
  And then the dude in the afternoon stole that information
• 8:04
  and then published it. That was that Hulk Hogan sex
• 8:06
  tape. So Hulk Hogan ends up making
• 8:08
  $100 million. Bubba gets run out of the radio.
• 8:14
  Just facts. That's Bubba the nutshell.
• 8:17
  Yeah, Hidden it. That's exactly what happened to
• 8:18
  him. Yeah, that's it, man.
• 8:20
  That's. It I mean what's so crazy is
• 8:22
  that video rolls on gets like 250, three, 100,000 views
• 8:27
  something crazy like that through everywhere but but then
• 8:32
  it propels us from that video that's just we did that was from
• 8:37
  a a show that we we had called a podcast about podcast.
• 8:41
  Just I think it was a scramble night.
• 8:43
  Actually Handler it was a night where we were all gonna meet
• 8:47
  something popped up and then Blasey and I were like well,
• 8:50
  we're still ready to go. So we just dropped, We just
• 8:52
  dropped the shows. Like, what are we gonna talk
• 8:54
  about? It totally changed.
• 8:56
  Just about podcast. We rolled into that and you
• 8:59
  know, that's, you know that that's kind of, I think that
• 9:02
  that's how it happens with singer songwriters and stuff
• 9:05
  like that. They hop in, they just go and do
• 9:07
  something and then you know something comes from it.
• 9:09
  It's kind of the antithesis of our show.
• 9:11
  I mean, really. It really is.
• 9:13
  You, I mean, you started this thing, you got your old neighbor
• 9:16
  to come on and he was like, hey, I got this guy that knows
• 9:18
  people, boy, next thing you know, we've been doing, I don't
• 9:21
  know how many episodes we've been doing, all these things
• 9:23
  we're talking about. It's it's awesome.
• 9:25
  Good point. This is the 49th episode of
• 9:30
  season 2 and the last one, We're not gonna hit 50 for season 2.
• 9:35
  That's OK. That's OK.
• 9:36
  That's. OK, we're gonna hit 50 in 2024.
• 9:39
  There you go. And we're already in Week 1 of
• 9:41
  2024, but there you go. There you go.
• 9:44
  So then then we move on. We have Bubba's reaction to to
• 9:50
  this. We come on.
• 9:52
  That happened. When was that Blasey a man?
• 9:55
  It happened on like a Friday. Was it a Friday?
• 9:57
  And then we were on the show on Monday.
• 9:59
  Something like that, Yeah, it was early June and then that
• 10:02
  follow it's a Thursday. And then that following Monday,
• 10:04
  we went on the show. That's when they got in touch
• 10:06
  with us, 'cause we kind of slow played it, 'cause it was like,
• 10:08
  come on in that day and like, hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 10:11
  Then you then you were at the. Gather ourselves here.
• 10:13
  And then a day or two after that, you're at a baseball game
• 10:16
  with him chugging beard, eating hot dogs.
• 10:18
  That's it. Man, give it the damn opposing
• 10:20
  bullpen hell. That's exactly right.
• 10:23
  That's right. Hilton says that Blasey did a
• 10:26
  great Morgan Freeman. Like Bubba said, he's got the
• 10:29
  voice to do so many things. It's true.
• 10:32
  Clip loaded in. I looked at that clip earlier
• 10:35
  today and y'all go check that out.
• 10:37
  It is out everywhere. But that that we'll put that out
• 10:41
  on on X tomorrow. That's a good, that's a good
• 10:45
  one. That one needs to it needs to
• 10:47
  come back in. If Y'all only knew the amazing
• 10:52
  Morgan Freeman nights that I've had with Blasey, where, I mean,
• 10:57
  we go on for hours. Unbelievable.
• 11:01
  Unbelievable of it. Yeah, that's it.
• 11:03
  So yeah, so here is the video. Here's the here's Bubba's
• 11:08
  reaction to us and with us on the show with he's basically
• 11:13
  he's interviewing Blasey because he called me a dumb ass.
• 11:16
  But anyhow, I digress. Bubba like had somehow, like in
• 11:20
  his video footage in his house, Listen.
• 11:24
  Ken tries to get through this. Listen.
• 11:26
  He let Hulk Hogan have sex with his wife and it was recorded and
• 11:32
  then the dude in the afternoon stole that.
• 11:37
  He didn't say anything accusational about anything that
• 11:41
  was like as artfully worded. Just so you know from a lawyer.
• 11:44
  A+ buddy. Yeah.
• 11:46
  I mean, he was so. I mean, he was.
• 11:47
  Unbelievable. It's like he knew he was going
• 11:48
  to come on the show. It's.
• 11:49
  Unbelievable, man. I don't know, man.
• 11:51
  This guy is the best. I love this guy.
• 11:53
  He does love you. He loves you so much.
• 11:57
  Oh man, that's so cool, you know?
• 11:59
  What he say he's a mark for Chad, is that?
• 12:01
  Isn't that what he say? Yeah.
• 12:03
  He's a mark. I love it.
• 12:04
  Wrestling terminology. Wrestling term.
• 12:06
  Wrestling slang. Oh yeah, he speaks all that
• 12:08
  carny language, man. So yeah, man, it was so cool
• 12:11
  that, so that that that's kind of the show or that happening,
• 12:14
  which as we should call it, that was a happening for all of us to
• 12:16
  kind of say, hey, it kind of put us on notice like yeah, let's
• 12:19
  kind of step our game up here a little bit.
• 12:20
  We're just kind of goofing off. And then it's like, all right,
• 12:24
  it's go time boys, it's go time. You know, it's kind of Jr. talks
• 12:27
  about and and DDP talked about you know when the show calls you
• 12:31
  better be ready to go and they called and and and here we are.
• 12:34
  So yeah, it's been fun. It has.
• 12:37
  It has. And then that led us on later in
• 12:39
  the summer. Not a few weeks later we find we
• 12:44
  had our very first emergency podcast where there was some
• 12:49
  drama with Bubba the Love Sponge and Mike Calta and and here's
• 12:54
  Blasey to explain that drama. Hey, it's our it's our soap
• 12:57
  opera that we follow and it just and you can't make it does, you
• 13:01
  know it's like it's the craziest situation.
• 13:04
  It's probably there's not a crazier situation between you
• 13:07
  know DJs and shock jocks in one city in the country than there
• 13:12
  is in Tampa, FL. It is the Kingdom.
• 13:15
  It's like a real life wrestling script that's happening and and
• 13:20
  all of a sudden here here we are Calta has turned complete heel
• 13:26
  and Bubba Bubba's baby face. Now what is Babyface now which
• 13:32
  he he was in in that deal. But yeah, I mean we beat that
• 13:37
  one like a dead horse for sure this year.
• 13:39
  But talk about a lot of views that that one that drama, that
• 13:44
  emergency podcast that that kind of started to turn the weight of
• 13:48
  the show a little bit, you know, of like OK, we need to we need
• 13:53
  to be a little more reactive to things that we that we find
• 13:57
  interesting anyhow and that we could talk about for a little
• 14:02
  while and and yeah, that was that was quite the run.
• 14:07
  But that is the video right there that really kind of
• 14:11
  catapulted it from from it. That was that.
• 14:15
  That was kind of the starting point for us.
• 14:17
  Like even though we had been, we'd done a lot of stuff
• 14:19
  together. But that kind of put us all on
• 14:21
  notice. I mean, and then like I said
• 14:23
  immediately what happens the next week?
• 14:26
  We have now engaged the handler and the handler brings in, hey
• 14:29
  boys, I don't know if y'all can get on or not, but we got, I got
• 14:31
  Diamond Dallas page ready to go. If you are.
• 14:33
  I don't. Know.
• 14:33
  Oh, yes. Exactly.
• 14:36
  They are taking us serious now. OK, we're just let's.
• 14:39
  Ride. Let's ride.
• 14:41

• 15:04

• 15:07
  unbelievable. Like, it's huge.
• 15:08
  Like, it's it's really cool. It's super cool.
• 15:11
  We introduced, introduced Paul to Bubba the Love Sponge.
• 15:15
  He hadn't heard of him. And look, I neither had I.
• 15:18
  Paul. I I had not heard of.
• 15:20
  I mean, I had. And then once I knew the Hogan
• 15:24
  stuff that's that's kind of how that came into that episode is
• 15:27
  place he was explaining who he was and like oh OK now I know
• 15:31
  who this who this cat is and then I remembered some of the
• 15:34
  Howard Stern stuff and remembered that he was you know
• 15:38
  then I knew who he was but but yeah he is he's a character I
• 15:42
  still I watch him I've I am all Bubba army now no doubt about
• 15:46
  it. The dude is just beyond
• 15:48
  interesting is is all I can say and and yeah hopefully we'll
• 15:53
  we'll be on there again and Blake look I know Bubba Army.
• 15:56
  I'm not trying to get myself in there and this is Blasey.
• 16:01
  We look I know this is all Blasey.
• 16:04
  He went to Tampa Bay or he went to a Tampa.
• 16:06
  What's the what's the name of the?
• 16:08
  Yeah. The Tarpons, yeah, I went to the
• 16:10
  Tarpons there. Yet George Steinbrenner Field
• 16:12
  got to go to the he had like a thing for all the fans, you
• 16:15
  know, like had a one of the sweet things out there, whole
• 16:19
  thing rented out, had an open bar.
• 16:20
  It was a great setup man. It's so cool meeting a lot of
• 16:22
  the other listeners of the show and people that are part of the
• 16:26
  show and talking with them and being able to talk with Bubba.
• 16:29
  Dude, it's so cool cuz like I said, I've been following this
• 16:31
  guy since 2011 and just have, you know he's been hard to find
• 16:36
  at times. You know he's been run out a few
• 16:38
  times and then so I've always sought him out man, cuz he's so
• 16:41
  entertaining. It's it's like I said it's kind
• 16:43
  of oddly entertaining. It's it's very addictive.
• 16:45
  It's a it's a soap opera in itself.
• 16:48
  And it is, But yeah, so that that was a fun, fun thing, dude.
• 16:53
  It it got us going. It got us rolling.
• 16:55
  And here we are, right here it's.
• 16:56
  Kind of like what? We got the best of.
• 16:58
  It's kind of like, who needs make believe when reality's so
• 17:01
  interesting, you know? That's it.
• 17:03
  Well, a quick question. I don't.
• 17:04
  I'm putting you on the spot here Blasey.
• 17:06
  Just only because I I happened to watch a few minutes of it
• 17:10
  this morning. Saw they were live on Facebook
• 17:12
  or whatever. I said.
• 17:13
  Now let me check in. They were all over on AI Mean
• 17:16
  Just all over. Is that guy Seth?
• 17:20
  Is he back or something? And they don't like each other.
• 17:23
  I mean is that just give us a little quick.
• 17:26
  Yeah. Run around.
• 17:27
  Yeah. So yeah, there's there's a
• 17:28
  little, yeah, I I definitely think there's some issues there
• 17:31
  like as far as you know, even from Lummy and Anna, like
• 17:35
  they've been there. They've been loyal.
• 17:36
  Seth is, you know, he he bailed at one time, took off and then
• 17:40
  now he's come back. And you know, I remember when
• 17:43
  Bubba announced that on the show a couple months ago that Seth
• 17:45
  was going to be coming back on, it was a, you could tell they
• 17:48
  weren't too excited about it, like they're making it work, but
• 17:51
  he's a little over the top, you know what I mean?
• 17:53
  So now it just changes that dynamic.
• 17:56
  You know, Bubba's just trying to mix things up, shake it up a
• 17:58
  little bit, so. He's good at that.
• 18:04
  He is good at that, a Bubba fan says.
• 18:07
  He's back for a few days a week. She and her had issues the first
• 18:13
  time he worked there. He's cool.
• 18:15
  She needs to get over it. So yeah, the little bit, I heard
• 18:19
  it, you know, it's just like, it's pretty much what seemed to
• 18:23
  be the message. Yeah, she needs to get.
• 18:24
  Through it, they'll get through it bubble like she'll shake the
• 18:26
  show up every once in a while. Apparently, he's the one who.
• 18:29
  He said so many different lineups, dude, he said probably
• 18:31
  20 something different lineups over the years, You know what I
• 18:34
  mean? One thing's been consistent.
• 18:35
  It's been bubble, the Love Spun show, You know what I mean?
• 18:38
  That's right. Yeah, you got to evolve and
• 18:39
  change. You know you can't get stand and
• 18:41
  can't get comfortable. You know you don't want to get
• 18:42
  complacent. So I'm sure that keeps them on
• 18:44
  their toes. New interesting stuff.
• 18:46
  Different angles, that kind of stuff.
• 18:47
  Yeah, that's great. No doubt.
• 18:50
  No doubt. Well, then kind of changing
• 18:52
  tunes that's above of the Love Sponge to kind of open up this
• 18:55
  whole set list. Then let's dive into some stuff
• 18:58
  that we love. Let's just kind of lock in for a
• 19:01
  little bit and kind of let's have some hits.
• 19:04

  show and and just wanted to, didn't want to forget to mention
• 19:36
  that, but let's dive into food. We're going to start with one of
• 19:40
  my favorites. This one did really well on
• 19:43
  social media. It was one of our better players
• 19:46
  of the year, but just the whole name of it just makes me.
• 19:50
  Like, we started with hooks. That's what I grew up with.
• 19:52
  You get the whiz bang sampler, you got chicken, you got ribs,
• 19:54
  you got pulled pork, and then you got a little slice of pound
• 19:57
  cake on the side to finish this thing off.
• 19:59
  They did a great job. So they don't like it.
• 20:03
  The whole whiz bang sampler. Ain't nothing like the Whiz Bang
• 20:07
  sampler. Oh my gosh, I forgot about the
• 20:10
  old hook's BBQ thing. Yep, Yep.
• 20:12
  That I know some of. That's That's what was so fun
• 20:16
  about going through this is looking and then seeing oh Dang.
• 20:19
  Well, that one got a lot. I I forgot I even posted that
• 20:22
  video. I mean, I know I've posted most
• 20:25
  of them for over the last week or two.
• 20:28
  I've been dropping in between Christmas.
• 20:30
  We've been taking a little break.
• 20:32
  No big deal, plenty of content. I've been dropping some of those
• 20:36
  things that holy cow, I can't believe like I missed this Marty
• 20:39
  Smith freaking awesome little little deal, which we'll get to
• 20:44
  later on in the show. It did well on a couple of
• 20:47
  platforms, but I forgot to post it on a couple that happens
• 20:51
  this. There's a lot going on.
• 20:52
  A lot of moving parts. Anyhow.
• 20:54
  Anyhow this next one did really well probably one of the it's
• 20:59
  probably it is the best food video that we had in 2023 and
• 21:05
  it's with our good friend Mr. JD Marsh with Braggy Bomb that he
• 21:10
  came on and that was a great episode to go check that out,
• 21:13
  but here's the video about Back Beach BBQ.
• 21:16
  Panama City Beach, Back Beach BBQ.
• 21:18
  Yo, yeah, dude. That is a.
• 21:20
  Legit BBQ spot. It really is, man.
• 21:22
  At its own point, I tell people that too.
• 21:24
  I'm like, guys, that's some really good BBQ right here.
• 21:27
  They've got it all, man. You.
• 21:28
  Know they had beef ribs and everything that we do.
• 21:30
  Here. Outside of Texas, that is the
• 21:33
  most authentic Texas style BBQ I've had anywhere.
• 21:36
  That's a good endorsement to know that I mean strong words
• 21:39
  isn't. It it's as strong as it gets.
• 21:42
  From him, you know especially. It is, it is.
• 21:44
  And we've been and and Chad has talked about that place in the
• 21:48
  show before in season one he's mentioned it and then did it
• 21:53
  again there and then bam, JD comes in to to lock it down.
• 22:00
  That it. I mean, it's as good of a
• 22:02
  testimony as as you can get. In fact, I think the owner's
• 22:06
  daughter is now following the show on TikTok.
• 22:10
  She saw the video, shared it with them, shared it with her
• 22:13
  parents and and all, and then they've shared it all over their
• 22:17
  social media and all of that. So I can't wait.
• 22:20
  I've. I've still not had the pleasure
• 22:22
  of going. I can't.
• 22:24
  Wait. Can't wait.
• 22:25
  Can't wait? Maybe, hey, whenever we make, we
• 22:29
  may make a run on shows. It's just throwing this out
• 22:32
  there while we're live. You know, sometime in 2024,
• 22:36
  sooner rather than later, of dropping a show live from props,
• 22:42
  the good folks at props. And maybe talk to the good
• 22:45
  people there at Back Beach Barbecue and maybe we can show
• 22:48
  up there, hit a little of that barbecue and drop a little show
• 22:52
  on that one, too. Yeah, it sounds good in finished
• 22:56
  it off over at the floor of Bama.
• 22:58
  Why not? Why not?
• 23:03
  This this whacker for dessert. Beautiful.
• 23:07
  Beautiful. This next one was favorites.
• 23:11
  Just because of the name and the title of it.
• 23:15
  It sums us up. I'll just play it.
• 23:16
  It's called a Tri tip. Exactly.
• 23:18
  They put it on these big rotating grills and it would go
• 23:21
  over the fire. I remember one time doing it a
• 23:23
  hunting camp with John Party and they had the big cast iron
• 23:25
  skillets with potatoes on it and it would rotate around.
• 23:28
  I remember telling John I always thought he should open a
• 23:30
  California barbecue joint in Nashville and serve Tri tip and
• 23:34
  call the restaurant just the tip.
• 23:38
  I mean, still a great idea. It's an amazing idea.
• 23:41
  We're doubling down on letting people know if you you want to
• 23:44
  steal anything. And if you want me to come in
• 23:46
  for all the info and you do all the headaches and all the
• 23:48
  business and all the glory, just give me 10%.
• 23:50
  After it's done I I'll totally help you with that.
• 23:53
  Let me know. Oh, he's got a plan for John
• 23:56
  Pardy, that's for sure. I like it.
• 23:58
  I think it's a great idea though.
• 23:59
  Like those you. Need to tell him now, he can
• 24:01
  afford it now. Yes, he's good to go.
• 24:03
  Now everything everything's set up for it.
• 24:05
  I just talked to him a couple days ago actually too, he's he's
• 24:08
  in dad mode. He's got a baby girl right now
• 24:11
  so he's trying to figure that whole dad thing out but but the
• 24:14
  next time I see him, I have to mention it to him.
• 24:16
  Hey, remember that time I said this and I just like I just told
• 24:19
  the public 10% on the side, I'll help be the be the, you know,
• 24:22
  brains of the operation. You can do all the rest.
• 24:26
  Well, hey, party. You heard it and you better get
• 24:29
  on it because I think it's a great idea.
• 24:31
  And it yeah, I mean, do it. Tracy Smith agrees.
• 24:35
  He likes just the tip. I mean it's just, it's just.
• 24:38
  Just Tri tips all you get, 'cause that's the thing.
• 24:40
  You can't get wings, you can't get pulled pork.
• 24:42
  You're getting Tri Tri tip, Tri tip, sandwich.
• 24:45
  But that's good for your restaurant because you're not
• 24:47
  trying to do 20 different cuts. You cook one thing right, you
• 24:50
  make 5-6 things out of it. You make nachos, a a, a potato,
• 24:55
  a spaghetti. You know, like like, you know,
• 24:57
  you make you some stuff out of it.
• 24:59
  Oh man. And it's so it's so good.
• 25:01
  Blasey sent me the Snake River Farms Tri tip Prime.
• 25:08
  Unbelievable. Just the most beautiful cut of a
• 25:12
  Tri tip ever. And we've talked about that too.
• 25:17
  Good guys. Yellow.
• 25:19
  They're so they're so beefy. Flavorful and beefy.
• 25:23
  Robust. Let's talk about it now before
• 25:26
  you guys watch that documentary. You are what you eat that I was
• 25:29
  telling you about, and then we'll have don't.
• 25:32
  Ruin this handler. We're rocking and rolling.
• 25:35
  Nothing. We're about to talk.
• 25:36
  None of this is healthy. OK.
• 25:38
  No. This is no new New Year's
• 25:41
  Resolutions #1. What do y'all think about New
• 25:45
  Year's Resolutions? You guys out there listening do
• 25:48
  y'all have New Year's Resolutions?
• 25:50
  Or if you have one, is there something that you'd like to
• 25:53
  share? I don't.
• 25:55
  I'm not. I have goals and I have things
• 25:58
  that I want to want to accomplish, but I'm not going to
• 26:01
  beat myself up and they're not, you know, I just want to be
• 26:04
  better going into 2025 than I was in 2024.
• 26:08
  That's the goal for me. That's kind of it.
• 26:10
  Just just keep getting better. The only thing I did do this
• 26:13
  year, I'm going to do this year is I'm going to go to the gym
• 26:17
  like every day of January. Like I'm going to go every
• 26:20
  single day. And then after that I'll back
• 26:22
  off, you know, four days a week. But I'm just going to kind of
• 26:25
  kind of test myself. Some people like to do the dry
• 26:28
  January. I just, you know, for me, I'll
• 26:31
  just go to the gym seven days a week, all of January and
• 26:34
  continue everything else as as planned.
• 26:38
  Yeah, it's moving forward. Yeah, I'm kind of at the gym.
• 26:43
  I'm like you Tigs, I'm just I'm constantly making resolutions
• 26:45
  all year long. I mean, it's just another set,
• 26:48
  another set. When you hit some goals, you
• 26:50
  make some more and you adjust and you pivot and.
• 26:53
  That's. It try to do better and like I
• 26:55
  said, be better than you were when you started if you can.
• 26:58
  That's right. That's right.
• 26:59
  Yeah, Hilton, he's not a big resolution guy either, saying he
• 27:05
  agrees. And and neither is Paul.
• 27:08
  He's not a big New Year's resolution guy.
• 27:10
  I'm not. Either.
• 27:12
  Bubba he loved. He loved seeing Blasi at at the
• 27:16
  brewery studio. I thought it was.
• 27:18
  Good. We'll be back.
• 27:19
  We will be back. Paul of the Props Brewery Show.
• 27:23
  But Blacy Studio now is cool. Blacy Studios, Rob.
• 27:27
  Yeah. We haven't even talked about
• 27:29
  that, though. Dude, this.
• 27:31
  Guy's this guy's started off in like a friggin storage closet
• 27:35
  somewhere. Girlfriend, girlfriend screaming
• 27:38
  at him, and now he's got a Now he's got a sweet studio with a
• 27:43
  sign with the glow in the dark. Jim Morrison.
• 27:45
  He's got his own there, letting everybody know he's taking care
• 27:47
  of business. Yeah, Amanda got me that man.
• 27:49
  That's actually an authentic one man from, you know, like from
• 27:52
  the 90s that would has the felt on it.
• 27:55
  Oh. Really.
• 27:56
  Like sitting up on it? Oh yeah, dude, it's awesome.
• 27:58
  So I was such a cool Christmas gift when she gave that to me.
• 28:01
  Is the receipt. Receipt the on air thing.
• 28:04
  So I added a couple little made made, made a few changes for
• 28:06
  2024 back there. So it looks it looks badass.
• 28:09
  Is the receipt from Spencer's taped to the back of that Jim
• 28:12
  Morris I? Believe it is.
• 28:15
  That's awesome. That's what I told her.
• 28:16
  I said. You know this came from
• 28:17
  Spencer's at some point, I was. Like, Oh yeah, for sure.
• 28:20
  They definitely had them. If there was a Spencer's in near
• 28:23
  me, I would go to it. This next time I go by there, I
• 28:26
  would love to go shop at a Spencer's now, dude.
• 28:28
  Those places are awesome. They were.
• 28:32
  I remember going in just as a kid, being like 910.
• 28:36
  My sons age. Go and Spencer.
• 28:38
  See things you'd never seen before.
• 28:40
  Yeah, it was like, that's what that meant.
• 28:43
  Yeah. Yeah, a lot.
• 28:44
  Of light bulbs went off because of that place.
• 28:47
  Yeah, it's like it's a cartoon. It's not it's it's a cartoon.
• 28:50
  But they're naked. That's cartoon boobies, you
• 28:52
  know, or whatever. That's a curse word.
• 28:55
  That is a curse word printed out.
• 28:56
  I know that's a curse word, you know?
• 28:59
  Exactly. That is a curse word on the
• 29:01
  front of that shirt that's not even like scratched out.
• 29:03
  It's the whole word. Yeah, boldly.
• 29:06
  I remember the the funniest, I think one of the hardest I ever
• 29:10
  laughed in my entire life was when I walked into a Spencer
• 29:14
  Gifts probably eight or nine years old and they had that who
• 29:18
  farted shirt and it had a hole in it and all of that.
• 29:21
  And for, you know, it was that was my first introduction to, Oh
• 29:25
  my God, fart jokes I love. It.
• 29:28
  I love it. I love it.
• 29:31
  That's so silly. Anyhow, all right, back to some
• 29:34
  food. We still have a few more food
• 29:36
  videos to go. This one one of the best videos
• 29:41
  of the year for sure, and it is one that I have incorporated
• 29:47
  into the way that I cook with a lot of different things.
• 29:50
  Y'all have introduced me to it. I'd heard of it, heard about it,
• 29:54
  think I have had it before, but man, I am sold on it now.
• 29:59
  Here it goes. The Alabama White sauce.
• 30:02
  Walk us through the Alabama White sauce and how you make.
• 30:05
  It so it's mayonnaise, It's vinegar.
• 30:08
  Add some sugar in there and a little spices.
• 30:10
  It's pretty simple. But really the whole premise, I
• 30:13
  think what's going on there, especially when you finish off
• 30:16
  chicken and then you just baptize it in that white sauce,
• 30:21
  it's the fat from the mayonnaise all hanging out with that
• 30:24
  goodness and it just locks in the juices too.
• 30:27
  So you get the flavoring in that vinegar.
• 30:29
  That mayonnaise really just locks this piece of chicken up.
• 30:32
  And so you got a cutting on this bird.
• 30:33
  I mean, it is just moist, juicy. That vinegar is eased into that
• 30:37
  meat. Oh man, it's something special.
• 30:39
  Yeah, it's good stuff. I wish I had some right now.
• 30:43
  I am. Starving boys, What's the next
• 30:45
  segment about? That's why I thought we should
• 30:48
  get food out of the way early. We come to the end, we're just
• 30:52
  going to get the munchies. But yeah, man, holy cow.
• 30:56
  So the first time I did it, I've realized how much of A sloppy
• 30:59
  mess that I made by literally did what Blasi said.
• 31:03
  I got chicken thighs, I made a monster ass bowl of this and
• 31:08
  just I went, yeah, I'm just go pour the chicken in there.
• 31:12
  So I cooked them, got them right where I wanted, put them all in
• 31:16
  this bowl, literally baptized them, put them back on the pit
• 31:20
  and and finished them off. And good God almighty.
• 31:25
  Yeah, just just the best. It is so different.
• 31:30
  It's so different. And then that brought in
• 31:32
  mayonnaise. We've talked about that too with
• 31:35
  and I still haven't tried it, but people will use mayonnaise
• 31:38
  as like a binder with steaks and things like that and I would
• 31:41
  think it would give that similar richness that it gives the gives
• 31:46
  the chicken, you know you have the lime and.
• 31:48
  All that. I never thought about it on
• 31:49
  steaks, but I'm sure yeah. I haven't you.
• 31:51
  Know you do it like I know everybody's done the old famous
• 31:55
  grilled cheese with using the mayonnaise on the outside of the
• 31:58
  grilled cheese instead of butter on the pan.
• 32:00
  I've heard of it. I've never said that.
• 32:03
  I've heard it. I've heard it's better.
• 32:04
  I do it that way most of the time.
• 32:06
  Now if I ever make a grilled ham and cheese or something, or just
• 32:08
  a grilled cheese, sometimes I mayonnaise outside.
• 32:11
  I put the Mayo on the outside and then and it it gets it nice
• 32:15
  and brown. Oh, it's a different type of fat
• 32:17
  the the level of fat or something.
• 32:19
  It does, like you said, it locks it in and makes it crispy, but
• 32:23
  it gives it that buttery taste too.
• 32:25
  It's good. I got to try that next time,
• 32:29
  yeah. Yeah, if you need just like a
• 32:31
  comfort like you like if you're hungover or something, you know
• 32:35
  that's a that's a good and you don't have the fruit.
• 32:37
  You need to go grocery shopping, man.
• 32:39
  One of those with that may on the outside.
• 32:41
  Plenty of cheese, crispy good and get it hot.
• 32:44
  Woo, woo. Oh.
• 32:45
  Man, that sounds like money right there.
• 32:48
  You think that sounds like money?
• 32:49
  Wait until you watch this one. This is Money.
• 32:53
  Saul's had just opened there at Avondale, and I don't if you
• 32:55
  ever had Saul's BBQ or not. Mike Wilson that owns it, yes,
• 32:58
  his teachers always said he'd never mount anything.
• 33:01
  Sorry, asked Wilson. But he's got this barbecue
• 33:03
  joint. And I think the story goes is
• 33:05
  one day they had way more pork or something and they were like,
• 33:08
  man, what are we going to do? And they just threw together.
• 33:10
  They took some these Alabama ground grits, they got some
• 33:14
  collards, some spicy collards, layered that on top, come in
• 33:17
  with pool pork, and then did some really small fried onion
• 33:20
  rings on top with their sauce on there, which is a real tangy hot
• 33:24
  vinegar, more of a Carolina sauce.
• 33:27
  That's the best barbecue dish I've ever put.
• 33:29
  My I mean, like those flavors come together.
• 33:32
  It's just like the South in a stack.
• 33:34
  That's the best dish I've ever had.
• 33:37
  Wow. The South in a stack, baby man.
• 33:39
  I wanted to eat there the other day.
• 33:41
  I had to pull through. They're coming back from West
• 33:42
  Virginia and we spent the night and but we got there and we were
• 33:46
  so tired. It was cold and we just stayed
• 33:49
  at the hotel. I wanted to go over to Avondale
• 33:51
  and get some of that. I wanted it real bad.
• 33:54
  I got to try it. I do.
• 33:56
  It sounds so freaking good, man. I'm so daggum hungry right now.
• 34:01
  And. And at that point, at that point
• 34:03
  I am too. I had, I had an apple after I
• 34:05
  got home from work that that was before we knew Taylor was going
• 34:11
  to be on and he was co-owner of that restaurant, right?
• 34:15
  That is correct. That is correct.
• 34:17
  We did not. That was prior to prior to the
• 34:20
  whole Taylor deal, which was, which was crazy and I still
• 34:25
  haven't been there. I haven't been to.
• 34:26
  I need to go back to Alabama. Since I saw y'all last, yes, we
• 34:31
  do. We need to do.
• 34:32
  From the joint because they because they got the joint
• 34:34
  location. They got three of them up there,
• 34:36
  I think at least, and one of them's a jerk joint with the
• 34:38
  music and all. That'd be awesome.
• 34:40
  Go get get, get that South in the stack and then do a show.
• 34:44
  Yeah, for sure, Hilton says. He thought that Mayo heated was
• 34:47
  poison. I've never heard that.
• 34:50
  That's a new one on me. But don't think that I won't
• 34:52
  research this. David Allen Coe David Allen Coe
• 34:56
  used to say his grandmother told him if you drink hot liquid,
• 34:58
  you'll go to hell. Good Lord.
• 35:01
  I heard David Allen Coe say that no on a movie Heartworm Highways
• 35:05
  like it was if. You drink hot liquid if you.
• 35:08
  Drink hot liquid you're going to go to.
• 35:10
  Hell. Wow.
• 35:11
  As he was drinking some coffee. Probably probably spiking it
• 35:15
  too, but. I've never heard that in my
• 35:17
  life. That's cool though.
• 35:18
  If you love. If you love.
• 35:19
  That era of the 70s era, the early outlaw movement stuff.
• 35:23
  There's a documentary called Heart Worn Highways that is a
• 35:26
  must watch for any music, old country music.
• 35:30
  Nut Oh yeah, check that out. Young, Steve Earl, Guy Clark,
• 35:35
  Townes, Van Zandt. Oh yeah, it's.
• 35:37
  Amazing. David Allen Coe driving his own
• 35:40
  tour bus. Yeah, I think.
• 35:43
  Yeah, I think we talked about that, but I haven't seen it.
• 35:45
  I still haven't. I haven't found it.
• 35:47
  We're going to find it. If we find it, I'll put it in
• 35:50
  the link and share it with everybody.
• 35:54
  Hilton says crawfish season is almost here and he is correct.
• 36:00
  That leads us into the next one. It's almost like he knew that
• 36:03
  was coming up. Y'all ever got so pissed off at
• 36:06
  a crawfish that just kept biting you as you were cleaning them
• 36:10
  that you put that, that you put a rubber band on that damn thing
• 36:14
  so you you knew exactly what that son of a was so you could
• 36:18
  eat him, 'cause I have. I've done that.
• 36:20
  I mean, yeah. You put a rubber band on him.
• 36:23
  I'm. Coming for you.
• 36:26
  I'm coming for you. And I came for him.
• 36:28
  I've never done that. Extremes I came.
• 36:33
  For it, that's true. So good.
• 36:35
  I've never done that either. Cause I've done that, yeah,
• 36:38
  yeah, I've done that. I'm covered for you.
• 36:41
  That's part of the beauty of this show.
• 36:43
  So I, you know, most all of these just kind of come out
• 36:48
  naturally while we're doing the show.
• 36:50
  Not going to lie, Use artificial intelligence to help define some
• 36:54
  of these moments. But you know, really and truly,
• 36:57
  we just put out what kind of cracks us up.
• 36:59
  And that one cracks me up too, because that's me.
• 37:02
  I think if you know me, that's me.
• 37:05
  I think there's going to be a I think there's going to be a lot
• 37:08
  more shrimp bowls this year than last year because crawfish are
• 37:11
  for. The.
• 37:12
  For the rich people right now, man.
• 37:15
  Yeah, buddy. I hate that because last year
• 37:17
  they got so low. You know, they got back to the
• 37:19
  prices where we used to a little bit.
• 37:20
  And man, that sucks. Yeah, yeah, they were good.
• 37:23
  I did like 3 or 4 bowls last year and I was so excited.
• 37:27
  My neighbor, his folks on Crawfish Pines, and so yeah, our
• 37:34
  Crawfish boils are off the charts and.
• 37:36
  Well, you're you're probably still be in good shape, but
• 37:39
  everybody has to go get them like commoners like us, boy.
• 37:41
  They're It ain't. No, I mean, I, I yes, we will be
• 37:44
  in good shape. Like, we may pay March or Easter
• 37:48
  prices in like the middle of April, right?
• 37:52
  But still, it's not looking good.
• 37:54
  But hopefully we get a lot of rain.
• 37:55
  Those little suckers can recover, dude, they'll be OK.
• 37:58
  They're crawfish, for God's sakes.
• 38:01
  He'll come back. But I mean, we need rain.
• 38:04
  They were born in the mud. They should be fine.
• 38:06
  Yeah, dig on down a little bit deeper, dumb ass.
• 38:10
  Anyhow, so, so we're going to close out the food segment.
• 38:16
  We had a lot of food videos. Like I said, you know it's a
• 38:18
  long little run and then if you need to go to the bathroom
• 38:21
  after, this would be a good time.
• 38:23
  We're coming back with more bangers.
• 38:24
  But, but so this. We had the very wise and
• 38:29
  inspirational Bobby John On from Survivor on the show and he left
• 38:35
  us with this nugget to start off with.
• 38:38
  You're peeling back an often overlooked onion.
• 38:40
  An important onion because the onion.
• 38:42
  You got to have an onion to cook.
• 38:43
  Nobody's got an onion in the refrigerator.
• 38:45
  I'm. I'm turning around and going to
• 38:46
  the house immediately. All right, onions are important,
• 38:50
  but y'all are peeling 1 back. It's often overlooked.
• 38:54
  Have no idea what we're peeling back Drink for the record.
• 38:57
  My buddy, I hate. I missed that one.
• 38:59
  That's my that's, that's the biggest disappointment of this
• 39:01
  season for me was not being there to get to catch up with
• 39:04
  Bobby John, 'cause I love that guy.
• 39:06
  We were we were good friends in college.
• 39:08
  I miss him. I've only talked to him a
• 39:10
  handful of times post college career but he he's it was when
• 39:14
  he was doing stuff and I started was doing some stuff and we
• 39:17
  connected on a few things but then we never followed through
• 39:19
  and man I I hate that but that yeah, that great episode, great
• 39:23
  killer episode. Man, I don't want to bring the
• 39:26
  showdown and I'm going to surprise both of y'all probably
• 39:29
  by saying this, but Speaking of Bobby, John and a good friend of
• 39:31
  ours from Troy, Jeff Corley passed away man a couple days
• 39:34
  ago and Jeff and I used to cook crawfish together all the time
• 39:38
  down here. He actually, right when I
• 39:40
  started cooking crawfish, was one of the first people I used
• 39:42
  to cook crawfish with. He was living in Niceville.
• 39:44
  We were kind of. He's the one that showed me the
• 39:45
  lemon oil thing I've never even seen before.
• 39:47
  So anyway, man, I just want to say rest in peace there.
• 39:51
  Yeah man, I just. I just found that out.
• 39:53
  So thought some good old buddy Jeff there.
• 39:56
  Family. Yeah.
• 39:57
  Anyone. Yeah, yeah, definitely.
• 40:00
  Well, Trey Smith says that Randy Miller is the crawfish king, and
• 40:03
  that's a fact. Randy Miller is a good friend of
• 40:06
  mine. He goes by rack and and he's the
• 40:09
  champ. You know, he's he beat Gil
• 40:11
  Broussard one-on-one. It was, you know, Gil sitting
• 40:14
  here to defend himself. He's asleep.
• 40:16
  Don rain second that and I was there at the same deal.
• 40:21
  I'm not getting into it, you know, I I didn't compete, but it
• 40:25
  was still amazing. But yeah, man, food, we could go
• 40:31
  all night on that, but that, but all of those, you know, as I've
• 40:35
  kind of been watching these things and I've noticed some
• 40:38
  themes of what videos have done better.
• 40:41
  Obviously we want to make content that more that engages
• 40:45
  folks and that people are interested in and want to get
• 40:47
  more engaged in. So yeah, we're going to double
• 40:52
  down. We're going to talk more about
• 40:53
  food this year for sure, for sure, because we we know a lot
• 40:57
  of folks that are in that food industry in some form or
• 41:01
  fashion. It's endless.
• 41:03
  I made a hell of a dish on New Year's Eve, didn't quite or on
• 41:06
  New Year's Day. I should should say it was
• 41:09
  potatoes, all gratin with cabbage and ham.
• 41:14
  Tough, tough deal. I watched it, saw this video,
• 41:19
  somebody on Instagram and tried to replicate it.
• 41:23
  It was amazing. The potatoes were slightly
• 41:26
  undercooked so would make a few adjustments, but oh, I got a new
• 41:31
  banger once I figure that one out.
• 41:33
  If I can put that on the pit stuff like that, it's going to
• 41:36
  be the jam. Especially on the I wanted to
• 41:39
  have cabbage, pork, Black Eyed Peas.
• 41:42
  I'd already eaten Black Eyed Peas earlier at my neighbor's
• 41:44
  house, but I still want to eat a rib eye on New Year's.
• 41:47
  It's just what I wanted to do with me and my son.
• 41:50
  So that's what we had, is the side with it.
• 41:52
  But anyhow, I digress. That's food.
• 41:54
  Let. It rest.
• 41:57
  So now we're going to come into the segment of the show.
• 42:00
  Like I said, if you need to go to the bathroom, this is a good
• 42:02
  part to stretch for a second. You know, I got a feeling that
• 42:07
  this could trigger Blasey a little, but we have to do it.
• 42:13
  These three videos that I'm about to present were some of
• 42:17
  the best videos that we had all year long and some of the most
• 42:21
  interactions. One of them very recently got a
• 42:25
  lot more traction. But this is kind of how it all
• 42:28
  started with former Troy head coach John Sumrall.
• 42:33
  Diggs Your name had me really thrown off when I saw about this
• 42:37
  podcast that we reversed reverse 2 letters.
• 42:40
  I'm going to be a big trouble. You're not the 1st to tell me
• 42:43
  that, Coach. In fact, when I was, I was at
• 42:46
  the beach last week and I'm walking along.
• 42:48
  I saw this mom and her daughter. They were out taking pictures at
• 42:51
  sunrise to walk by them. And I thought I heard them
• 42:54
  talking to me, and I heard Sir, So.
• 42:56
  And I turned around. I was like, oh, yeah, I'm so
• 42:58
  sorry. I can come take your picture.
• 43:00
  Not a problem. I wasn't, you know, And they
• 43:02
  were like, no, no, no, I want to take a picture of your shirt.
• 43:05
  I thought it said something else.
• 43:07
  I'm like, whoa, I forgot to tell you boys that.
• 43:12
  But yeah, that happened. That's outstanding.
• 43:17
  That was pretty Dang funny it it.
• 43:19
  Was it? It's happened a lot.
• 43:22
  Anytime I've worn the shirt, I've seen other people, people
• 43:26
  have read it wrong on social media and stuff like that.
• 43:28
  That was. I mean, honest to God, that was
• 43:31
  totally unintentional. I've never really even thought
• 43:34
  about it because my nickname has been Tiggs for so long and then
• 43:40
  when I had a radio show, the bits part, you know, I just said
• 43:43
  hey, we came on the second hour of a two hour show.
• 43:48
  I was pretty loose in the second hour.
• 43:50
  So it was like let me roll. I came on to Motley Crue's wild
• 43:54
  side and then it was Tigs bits and I went into whatever the
• 43:58
  rant was. This is a sports show, but it
• 44:00
  was whatever the hell I wanted to talk about for that segment,
• 44:04
  which was like 5 or 7 minutes or whatever.
• 44:07
  And it sometimes would derail the show, which was fun.
• 44:12
  That's where the name came from. But we try to keep the show on
• 44:16
  the rails here, and yeah, we generally do a pretty good.
• 44:19
  Job of it. Yeah, y'all get to see you now
• 44:23
  as we watch this live. Kind of what it's like whenever
• 44:26
  we we film our normal shows, they're just guess what helps
• 44:30
  your boy over here, 'cause I ain't got to edit anything
• 44:32
  whenever we're done. So there it is.
• 44:37
  It makes it easy for me, but but so that that was a funny kind of
• 44:41
  how we how we got started with him.
• 44:44
  He said that right off the bat whenever he came on the show.
• 44:47
  One of the favorite, one of my favorite moments of the whole
• 44:50
  show was whenever we're talking handlers talking to him and then
• 44:55
  this happens. Are going to be in Dothan.
• 44:58
  It's Thursday, the October 26th, yeah.
• 45:00
  I'm probably busy October. I got a feeling you may be.
• 45:06
  That's what I just realized. I thought it was in like, no end
• 45:08
  of November. Yeah, we should have arranged
• 45:11
  big concert at the vet. I don't see why not.
• 45:14
  Got a great venue right there. I think we could have a good
• 45:16
  time. I'd like for it to not happen
• 45:18
  during the season though, so I can partake in the party.
• 45:20
  You know, if it happens in October, I can't party.
• 45:23
  We need to make it happen the offseason so I can throw down at
• 45:25
  the at the concert. Well, not going to happen.
• 45:31
  We didn't bet with him helping to facilitate that, I don't
• 45:34
  think. Probably.
• 45:35
  Probably out on the vet, but the.
• 45:38
  Bet might still happen but just might not be through him.
• 45:41
  We might, we have to get smooth still there.
• 45:43
  So maybe we just go through smooth, you know so like we.
• 45:45
  Still could happen at Troy. Hey, who's to say it couldn't
• 45:48
  happen at Tulane now? He's still going party.
• 45:51
  I'd still go party with him. Hell yeah, dude.
• 45:54
  He's a he's a He's a great. He's a great coach.
• 45:55
  He's gonna do good things. But you know what?
• 45:57
  2 words for you, Jared Parker. That's the new era that we're in
• 46:01
  at Troy right now. So.
• 46:02
  Is that the new coach? That's it.
• 46:04
  Yes, Sir. Out of Notre Dame.
• 46:05
  I'm. I'm a big fan of him.
• 46:07
  He's cut from the same cloth dude.
• 46:08
  That's what's cool about it. Like he.
• 46:10
  Sounds exactly alike like when you if you didn't know him, you
• 46:13
  just listen to him talk to Cadence and all that.
• 46:15
  Neil. Brown, John Sumrall.
• 46:18
  It's a very similar mindset, man.
• 46:20
  You know, hard work. You know what I mean?
• 46:23
  Just, yeah, good attitude. You know, all it did.
• 46:26
  It's just it's it's so I I feel really good.
• 46:29
  I feel better. I feel much better after hearing
• 46:31
  him talk, understanding him, who he is, where he came from.
• 46:35
  So yeah, Troy's in good. It's gonna be in good shape if
• 46:37
  we can survive this portal nightmare we're going through
• 46:40
  right now that we've got 30 players, including those going
• 46:43
  in the draft that are leaving Troy.
• 46:44
  So once we get through that. Wow.
• 46:47
  We shall survive. Y'all's boy, I think, Mack
• 46:51
  chimed in. Just checking back on the chat,
• 46:55
  he he said he saw Bobby John eat shrimp with shells on.
• 46:58
  So I can. Remember riding?
• 47:03
  I can remember riding down like where all the other see Bobby
• 47:07
  John was in a different fraternity.
• 47:08
  He was SAE. They were all our buddies.
• 47:10
  So much love to those guys. But a Pike app house being
• 47:14
  Blasey where it was on the other side of town, but all the other
• 47:18
  were on the same road. I remember riding down that road
• 47:20
  because it was kind of near the intramural field.
• 47:22
  So I was riding down that road one time and here comes Bobby.
• 47:25
  John just kind of, like bounced out of the woods beside me like
• 47:28
  jogging one day, like it kind of scared me.
• 47:30
  It was like, whoa, we just like he was jogging in thick woods
• 47:33
  and they just bounced out by the road.
• 47:35
  I'm like, that's not there's no path we're in Troy.
• 47:37
  There's no jogging path through the woods.
• 47:39
  He's just jogging through the damn woods.
• 47:41
  With. Like with like you know a
• 47:44
  bandana and and shorts on. That's it.
• 47:46
  You know and do. Back.
• 47:47
  I'm sure we'd do this on the rough time terrain Right here,
• 47:49
  boys. Y'all y'all go jog on the road.
• 47:51
  I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run through these, this, this
• 47:53
  thicket right here real quick. And that was his probably his
• 47:56
  mindset. He's like, this is real life
• 47:57
  training. I don't need to be running on
• 47:58
  the. I need to jog in something that
• 48:00
  would matter, you know? That's exactly what he was
• 48:02
  doing. That's why he went on Survivor.
• 48:04
  That was way before that was ever a thought.
• 48:06
  That's crazy. And then he just went and did
• 48:08
  the same thing. Man, We had that.
• 48:10
  That's one show a little behind the the scenes on that one is of
• 48:15
  all the shows that we had this year.
• 48:17
  I was super. I was super pumped for for it as
• 48:21
  as always. But we had more damn technical
• 48:25
  issues during that show than any any other show.
• 48:29
  Didn't even have his recording. We only got like the 1st 15
• 48:34
  minutes of the show with good video quality and audio quality
• 48:39
  and then had to get a backup and all this.
• 48:42
  No idea why or what happened. It doesn't.
• 48:45
  It's irrelevant. But we were able to make a show.
• 48:48
  Hopefully we can get Bobby John back on.
• 48:51
  I have a lot more questions and frankly would like for him to
• 48:54
  tell the story again because there were some clips in that
• 48:57
  sucker that would have been on this list and would have made it
• 49:00
  and would have rock and rolled on social media had the damn
• 49:05
  video just not been so horrible. But I digress.
• 49:10
  We'll do it again. Yeah, we're gonna make sure,
• 49:12
  make sure Jr. is there for this one.
• 49:13
  Yes, yes, exactly, exactly. Yeah, he's always a ton of fun
• 49:17
  and always full of surprise. That'll be fun.
• 49:20
  Look, Aaron Ryan, he's tuning in.
• 49:23
  Look, we picked up some Tulane fans along the way and hey,
• 49:26
  that's all. That's all good.
• 49:27
  I'm an LSU guy. Doesn't bother me.
• 49:31
  Yeah, I mean I'm I'm, I'm happy to see what will happen at
• 49:35
  Tulane with them and and hopefully coach Summerall will
• 49:38
  still allow they. Got a great coach is what they
• 49:40
  got. They got a great coach is
• 49:42
  exactly what they That's exactly right.
• 49:43
  Yeah, that's. I think Aaron's, and I think
• 49:46
  Aaron's a Marshall. I think he's a Thundering Herd
• 49:48
  guy, if I'm not mistaken. OK oh, OK.
• 49:53
  Thundering Herd. You know Bobby John was in that
• 49:54
  movie. We are Marshall Speaking of
• 49:56
  that. Yeah, that's true.
• 49:57
  He. Look at this tie in that's.
• 49:59
  Right. Well, yeah, look at that.
• 50:00
  Nice little tie in, nice little tie in and then a 2A tie in with
• 50:05
  Tulane. Here is a video that recently
• 50:08
  popped everywhere on social media for us and got got new
• 50:12
  fans over to the show. This came earlier in the year on
• 50:16
  that same that same ride with Coach Sumrall.
• 50:19
  I coached at Tulane for three years, so I probably know too
• 50:22
  many. New restaurants.
• 50:24
  Yes. Sir, you know where we go.
• 50:26
  Oh yeah. We moved to New Orleans in
• 50:28
  December of 2011 or January of 2012.
• 50:32
  I moved there, me and my wife before we had children and I was
• 50:35
  like 200 and 25230 lbs and within like 6 months I was like
• 50:40
  260. That Rice and Gravy will stick
• 50:43
  coach. They're like, hey, we're going
• 50:45
  to put some sauce on top of the sauce, all right?
• 50:48
  And so that's. Exactly.
• 50:49
  Right. Next thing you know is I was on
• 50:51
  the road recruiting like later that May in 20/20/12.
• 50:54
  I'll never forget I was in Shreveport, LA, just had gone to
• 50:57
  watch a high school practice and I walked into a hotel room right
• 51:01
  there in Bossier City. I looked in the mirror and I
• 51:03
  thought, golly, I look really bad.
• 51:07
  But you felt really good inside, you know?
• 51:09
  Yeah, I was. I was happy.
• 51:10
  I was real happy, yeah. But none of my pants fit.
• 51:17
  Wow, that was so good. Oh yeah, well, the struggle's
• 51:20
  going to be real for Coach now. He's getting paid a lot of money
• 51:24
  and he is in deep into the heart of the good food.
• 51:27
  And I know he'll be recruiting all of Louisiana as everywhere
• 51:31
  else, you know, moving forward now too.
• 51:33
  But anyhow, wish him the best of luck, Appreciate him coming on
• 51:38
  and man, that was that was that was a a heck of an honor to get
• 51:43
  to visit with a head coach of a major football program on their
• 51:48
  way to media days. Once again, we got crazy and
• 51:52
  decided to see if we could do just test our extremes of
• 51:57
  software and capabilities by making that happen on the road.
• 52:00
  And it did. It worked.
• 52:02
  I will never do that again. We will never do that again.
• 52:04
  And we're never going to, we're never going to talk up any other
• 52:07
  city. But Troy, when we have a coach
• 52:09
  on this show, Troy's the nicest place, has the best food.
• 52:12
  There's no reason to ever leave. No.
• 52:14
  Not at all. Not at all.
• 52:18
  So anyhow, man, so that that is coach.
• 52:21
  Coach Sumrall. And then we move on.
• 52:23
  Let's get back into some bangers.
• 52:25
  All right. Let's let's let's start to head
• 52:28
  towards the finish line. Strong here.
• 52:30
  And I think there's no secret here.
• 52:33
  One of my favorite shows of the entire year was whenever we had
• 52:38
  Taylor Hicks on, it was just so awesome.
• 52:40
  I couldn't believe it. We got to we all hung out.
• 52:43
  You know you told us at the end of 1 show we're wrapping up.
• 52:47
  I I don't think it was even. I don't.
• 52:49
  I think it got cut. It wasn't in the show.
• 52:51
  But you said that. Oh yeah next next week or
• 52:55
  whenever I was going to be in in Orange Beach I think I'm going
• 52:58
  to be over at the floor of Bama. I I think Taylor Hicks is
• 53:01
  playing. I went what?
• 53:04
  And then the next thing you know we're there and and and saw him
• 53:07
  and and jammed out and all of us visited and and all of that good
• 53:11
  stuff. Made some videos and sent him
• 53:13
  out. And then the next thing I know
• 53:14
  he said he'd love to be on the show.
• 53:16
  He reached out to to us and and then so we had Taylor on and
• 53:21
  what an honor, what a great interview.
• 53:23
  We could have kept going. It was awesome.
• 53:27
  But we'll start there. This was cool, Simon.
• 53:31
  This video did extremely, extremely well on social media
• 53:36
  and one of one of our better videos of the year, Simon
• 53:40
  Cowell, gave you a little bit of hell when you first auditioned.
• 53:43
  How was he behind the scenes? He was great, man.
• 53:46
  I say this, he smoked cool cigarettes and then sometimes I
• 53:49
  would when I was making that run on that show.
• 53:52
  I mean, I needed to come on the cigarette every now and then, so
• 53:55
  I'd go down there and smoke cools with him.
• 53:56
  He was no pun intended. He's a pretty cool dude.
• 54:04
  It's hilarious. The puns, the everything.
• 54:06
  But you know, I had no idea that that I don't.
• 54:10
  I don't care either way. But I didn't, you know, I didn't
• 54:13
  know that Simon smoked or Taylor Hicks smoked for that, for that
• 54:17
  matter. And then after the fact, I've
• 54:19
  been listening to different things.
• 54:21
  It's amazing how many people singers smoke.
• 54:25
  It just kind of surprises me. But I guess it could give you a
• 54:27
  raspier voice too. Maybe.
• 54:29
  Gives you that little bit of you need something, you just got to
• 54:31
  be doing something, you got to have that you got to do
• 54:33
  something. That little bit of a a stimulant
• 54:36
  that's in that little puff puff. Just something.
• 54:39
  Just something to change it. Just let's let's change things
• 54:42
  real quick, yeah? That's right, that's right, Paul
• 54:44
  says. Taylor Hicks episode was cool
• 54:46
  and honestly, the first he had heard about him since Idol.
• 54:51
  He's cool. He is cool.
• 54:52
  He's a cool dude man. He really is and and look
• 54:56
  forward. He's got a new album that'll be
• 54:58
  coming out sometime this year and we hope to to have him back
• 55:03
  on when he's starts to promote that and maybe get him to play a
• 55:07
  little more harmonica for us. Another episode where we had a
• 55:11
  little technical issue, he played us out folks with the
• 55:15
  harmonica. Thank God we didn't lose the
• 55:17
  audio on it. I had no video feed of it
• 55:20
  though, unfortunately. Hey, we need we should get him
• 55:22
  to cut us an intro and outro to use on the show just to have.
• 55:25
  It's a good. Oh, absolutely.
• 55:26
  That's a great idea. Yeah.
• 55:29
  There it is. All right.
• 55:30
  That's just what happens on lives.
• 55:32
  There you go. We will talk after this.
• 55:34
  But yeah, we need to reach out to him to do that.
• 55:37
  I was going to change the theme music for season three there.
• 55:43
  It is we. Better call Tigs.
• 55:45
  There it is. Let's rewrite it.
• 55:49
  Here's another one. Here's another one from the
• 55:52
  Great. Taylor cab rides out of
• 55:55
  Hurricane Katrina. That's kind of how I got to
• 55:57
  American Idol. I fled the storm.
• 55:59
  I was down there for a wedding in New Orleans.
• 56:03
  Come hell or high water, they they were going to have that
• 56:05
  damn wedding. That's what I love about
• 56:08
  Louisiana, folks. We got back to our hotel rooms.
• 56:11
  Half of us had to be evacuated. I went right to the airport and
• 56:15
  flew to Las Vegas on a whim. I got to the the airport in
• 56:18
  Vegas and my brother called and said American Idol tryouts are
• 56:21
  in 45 minutes. So I went from the airport and I
• 56:23
  went with with a backpack and I I stood in line and everybody
• 56:28
  was asking me where my kids were that were auditioning.
• 56:31
  For that, oh, just. Big old Gray, shaggy hair.
• 56:36
  But you know, I guess you could Google the rest of it.
• 56:39
  You're still my favorite American Idol winner for the
• 56:41
  record, and you always will be. It's funny.
• 56:48
  I laughed on you. When I laughed early when we
• 56:51
  talked about his Gray hair, I was like, oh, man, kind of
• 56:52
  scary. I thought that was me.
• 56:53
  I was here. So that dude's so good, man.
• 56:56
  I mean, there's so many you can show from him.
• 56:57
  I don't remember so much from that show.
• 57:00
  Yeah, that that episode. One of my fav.
• 57:02
  Definitely my favorite of the of the whole year.
• 57:05
  Just couldn't couldn't believe it.
• 57:06
  But what a cool dude. I was never nervous, you know,
• 57:10
  just just a cool dude to interact with and and I.
• 57:13
  Was listing one of his records today.
• 57:15
  Fantastic. He's just so good at me and I
• 57:19
  can't wait to hear this new album.
• 57:21
  Individual. Just what a voice, what a voice.
• 57:24
  There's there are there are clips.
• 57:27
  Looking through this, there's still some clips that I've never
• 57:29
  released that we're just, you know, we had in the show, but I
• 57:32
  haven't ever released them. Probably going to drop some of
• 57:35
  those here in the next week or two as well, so.
• 57:37
  This is probably not, probably not.
• 57:41
  I don't know who this cuz this is a newer record of his, but my
• 57:45
  introduction I would like for everyone to go, if you hadn't in
• 57:48
  a while go get in your time album from Taylor Hicks from
• 57:53
  2015 and started it number one son of a Carpenter and listen to
• 57:57
  that. That's what we're talking.
• 57:58
  That's how good that guy that's that's a good record right
• 58:00
  there. That comes from the soul.
• 58:03
  That's a. Solid album time bottom.
• 58:05
  Not heavily produced with the American Idol stuff to make
• 58:10
  thank him somebody he's not, you know and it.
• 58:13
  Sounds like what the of the tailor I remember from down here
• 58:16
  at the floor Bama and at the bars in in Birmingham and down
• 58:19
  there at at on the beach and the the superstar he's become with a
• 58:24
  hone in his talent in over 30 years of entertaining.
• 58:27
  You know what I mean And that's a coma.
• 58:29
  That's a great record. If the new ones that good or
• 58:32
  better, I'm super pumped. I know it will be, but that's a
• 58:35
  good. I will everybody start there.
• 58:37
  I don't the other ones are good too.
• 58:38
  I'm not saying that, but that. Just go listen to that and you
• 58:40
  you'll be hooked. Yeah, for sure.
• 58:43
  No doubt about it. This this little clip from him
• 58:47
  cracked me up right at the beginning of.
• 58:49
  I think we use it as a preview, not really one that like went
• 58:53
  crazy on social media, but it's just too daggum good to not show
• 58:56
  it. I was about 16.
• 58:58
  I, I, I, I bought my first harmonica, the best from our
• 59:01
  flea market and I don't. I don't really recommend anybody
• 59:06
  buying anything that you blow and suck on at flea markets.
• 59:08
  To be honest with you, that's great.
• 59:11
  Advice. It was a good idea at the time.
• 59:17
  That's still great advice. That's funny.
• 59:19
  That's funny. Don't buy anything you blow or
• 59:23
  suck on at flea markets. And my God, I got a feeling he's
• 59:27
  used that line before. But man, it's a good one.
• 59:30
  It's a great one. It's hilarious.
• 59:34
  It's hilarious. And then and then we'll we'll
• 59:35
  leave. We'll leave Taylor with this
• 59:39
  this this one did do well and and for good reason.
• 59:43
  How did you and Jr. cross paths? In Alabama, as far as musicians
• 59:48
  go, it's funny, all roads lead to Wayne Mills.
• 59:51
  He he was kind of like the Alabama's version of Kevin
• 59:55
  Bacon, you know, I mean, you knew him.
• 59:56
  You neither knew a family member of him, or you knew of him, or
• 1:00:01
  you knew somebody that knew of him or somebody that was playing
• 1:00:03
  with him or somebody was getting drunk with him.
• 1:00:06
  So that's kind of and Alabama's small anyway, you know.
• 1:00:09
  So it's funny. We, you know, that's how we met
• 1:00:13
  obviously through Wayne and and a lot of the travels and music
• 1:00:16
  and stuff. I doubt.
• 1:00:19
  Here it is. Yeah.
• 1:00:21
  Yeah. And we're, we have Hal Bruni and
• 1:00:24
  Jr. Can can tell us a little bit
• 1:00:26
  more about him. He's going to be coming on the
• 1:00:29
  show at some point this year. I'm going to howl.
• 1:00:32
  If you're watching this, I'm going to reach out to you next
• 1:00:34
  week and see see when you can come on.
• 1:00:37
  I know he's been going through some health things here lately,
• 1:00:40
  so hopefully he's on on the mend.
• 1:00:42
  But how? How how's?
• 1:00:44
  Always been going through some help stuff.
• 1:00:46
  He's always stomping around and falling around running into
• 1:00:48
  stuff. How How Brody the Gypsy.
• 1:00:51
  Hell Raising High Roller himself, man.
• 1:00:55
  How Bruni is the guy when Wayne was playing football at Alabama
• 1:00:58
  when his football career, because he only had two years of
• 1:01:01
  eligibility to play football because he'd already played two
• 1:01:03
  at baseball at Wallace of Hanceville.
• 1:01:06
  He was, you know didn't have. He was still in school.
• 1:01:09
  He hadn't finished school but he was done with football and he
• 1:01:11
  liked to sing and he was he became buddies with how because
• 1:01:15
  how was rocking around locally and how actually taught Wayne
• 1:01:18
  the you know the chords to all the Hank Junior and Waylon and
• 1:01:21
  the stuff that Wayne was known for the that that style of music
• 1:01:25
  and stuff. And so Howe was very
• 1:01:26
  instrumental on getting Wayne's career going and Howe's put out
• 1:01:30
  records over the years. He's been play.
• 1:01:32
  He's played all over the country and stuff and he's got a morning
• 1:01:36
  morning YouTube show he does now and all kind.
• 1:01:39
  He has a festival he runs in Morgan in Morgan City.
• 1:01:43
  I believe it's in Morgan City but it's a big festival they do
• 1:01:46
  now. So he's got all kinds of cool
• 1:01:48
  stuff cooking and he's a good cook too and and hunting and
• 1:01:53
  fishing. I mean, he be, he does he.
• 1:01:55
  He's in all this. But he's based in Morgan City,
• 1:01:57
  LA, which is about 20 miles West of Houma, LA, where my wife
• 1:02:01
  from. And that's two hours South of
• 1:02:04
  you Tigs maybe? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:02:06
  So so he so but he yeah he'll be great to have on his he's he's a
• 1:02:10
  character he'll have plenty of and he'll have his harmonica on
• 1:02:13
  his guitar. I.
• 1:02:14
  Mean dude, he can jam. Yeah, you know, I've if y'all go
• 1:02:18
  check him out, go check out his Facebook page and his YouTube
• 1:02:21
  page. He's he's on there every morning
• 1:02:23
  and I and I'll stop and watch him for a few minutes here and
• 1:02:26
  there as I'm getting ready to just let it, just listen to it.
• 1:02:29
  He will flat out he can jam. So hopefully we get him on, get
• 1:02:33
  him in studio so he can come and jam, you know, jam some songs
• 1:02:37
  for us too. Yeah, no doubt.
• 1:02:41
  Jason Hilton says that he never saw he's talking about Taylor
• 1:02:44
  Hicks and never saw him on Idol. But the Tigs and I have a
• 1:02:48
  hometown top ten Idol contestant we do Tyler Mitchell from little
• 1:02:53
  old Florine, Louisiana where I'm where I'm from.
• 1:02:57
  Yeah he's yeah, yeah he he he did well.
• 1:03:02
  Did very well in it. Dude can sing.
• 1:03:04
  He's still still rocking and rolling and and trying to make
• 1:03:08
  it as far as I as far as I know correct me if I'm wrong there
• 1:03:12
  Hilton but but yeah a dude can dude can freaking freaking sing
• 1:03:17
  and his dad is the sheriff of Sabing parish totally unrelated
• 1:03:22
  he you know I think he that all happened just prior to to all of
• 1:03:26
  that happening too but but pretty cool dude can sing.
• 1:03:30
  So yeah, that that ends it with Taylor Hicks.
• 1:03:33
  Kind of want to step gears, move over a little bit.
• 1:03:36
  I'm going to go back to the very first episode of the season at
• 1:03:42
  the Handlers. Probably never even seen this.
• 1:03:44
  Let me give it a little bit of context because otherwise it's
• 1:03:47
  not going to make as much sense. This was Dang near a year ago.
• 1:03:50
  OK, so I had this guy on the show, His name is Brandon Tritt
• 1:03:55
  and he closed out season one. He was the last guest on season
• 1:04:01
  one, the first video episode that the the show ever had.
• 1:04:06
  And then he opened season 2 whenever I caught up with him.
• 1:04:10
  So he went on this football tour all across America, man.
• 1:04:15
  He went to like Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan.
• 1:04:19
  He came to LSU and Alabama. Game he went to all around the
• 1:04:28
  whole country. He went to bowl games, he went
• 1:04:30
  to the SEC championship and he kind of explains all of these.
• 1:04:34
  I follow him on Instagram. I suggest everybody else does
• 1:04:38
  too. I can't remember his handle
• 1:04:39
  right now. Just search Brandon Tritt and
• 1:04:42
  you should find him. But he takes some of the most
• 1:04:45
  amazing videos, pictures, drone footage, all of that of all
• 1:04:51
  these college football places he's been to.
• 1:04:53
  But on top of that, he just takes amazing, beautiful
• 1:04:56
  pictures of everywhere he visits.
• 1:04:59
  He he's able to work remotely, Young dude, awesome, just
• 1:05:04
  awesome story. So that that's, that is who
• 1:05:07
  Brandon Tritt is. And here's the video from the
• 1:05:09
  first episode this season. Look at how much the rooms
• 1:05:12
  changed. So man, think about this for a
• 1:05:14
  second, Brandon. You saw Michigan play.
• 1:05:18
  LSU and Alabama, Georgia, TCU, Texas, Oregon, Utah.
• 1:05:22
  You saw the entire college football national pitcher
• 1:05:27
  throughout this journey. I think that's what's more
• 1:05:29
  amazing than anything is that it's not just going to these
• 1:05:32
  cool places and having bucket list.
• 1:05:34
  Things go down. You actually followed the ebb
• 1:05:37
  and flows of the college football season.
• 1:05:39
  You didn't mean to do that. There's nobody that could have
• 1:05:42
  planned it out that way. But man, you were at some
• 1:05:45
  crucial games at some crucial times.
• 1:05:47
  I was. Thinking about that, you know,
• 1:05:49
  during bowl season, I was thinking I was like, you know
• 1:05:51
  what? I saw all four playoff teams
• 1:05:53
  play and I saw the Orange Bowl champ, Rose Bowl champ, Sugar
• 1:05:57
  Bowl champ, PAC 12 champ. So yeah, looking back, I think
• 1:06:02
  that this was a really fun college football season.
• 1:06:05
  A lot of cool storylines. For example, Tennessee coming
• 1:06:08
  back to. Being relevant and the national
• 1:06:10
  pitcher, they're not anymore, but.
• 1:06:16
  That's crazy though, dude. He he he did all that in one
• 1:06:19
  season, huh? Yes, in a one season, man.
• 1:06:23
  In one season. He's a huge Florida State fan.
• 1:06:27
  That's. Something I've always wanted to
• 1:06:28
  do. I wish I could get an RV and one
• 1:06:30
  year I want to be able to do this and just each week travel
• 1:06:34
  and during college football season.
• 1:06:36
  I mean, obviously I want to hit some Troy games, but I want to
• 1:06:38
  go all over the place, you know what I mean?
• 1:06:40
  Show up, get there like on a Wednesday or something and then
• 1:06:43
  just take in the whole area. What's cool in this area?
• 1:06:46
  Small places, big places, all of them.
• 1:06:49
  Man, that would be got to be so fun.
• 1:06:51
  Maybe we could take a show on the road one day, you know.
• 1:06:53
  Yeah, that would be amazing. He's, he is.
• 1:06:57
  He's for. Sure.
• 1:06:58
  No, I'm trying to. No, that's exactly what I don't
• 1:07:00
  want to do. I'm on the road now.
• 1:07:01
  So yeah, Handler's like trying to get away from the road.
• 1:07:04
  We're trying to get on it, but we'll find a good, a good, a
• 1:07:07
  good, happy medium, Hilton says. That was a great episode.
• 1:07:10
  He forgot about Brandon Tritt. Hell is almost a year ago,
• 1:07:13
  Hilton. Me too.
• 1:07:15
  I mean, it's crazy how how time flies, but that was a good
• 1:07:19
  episode and and in that I have some of the pictures that he's
• 1:07:24
  taken that he took at these different stadiums.
• 1:07:27
  He had his drone, so he got some really amazing pictures of some
• 1:07:30
  really cool stadiums, you know? So yeah, go check that one out.
• 1:07:35
  Then moving on. Still staying early in the
• 1:07:38
  season. I think it's the second episode
• 1:07:40
  of the year. My good buddy and a guy that I
• 1:07:43
  graduated high school with in Florine, Andy Thaxton, came on.
• 1:07:49
  He has a YouTube channel, social media channels.
• 1:07:52
  I dig history. Go check him out.
• 1:07:54
  He's a metal detector handler I know is familiar.
• 1:07:57
  I know he saw that episode so we had him on and and visited with
• 1:08:03
  him a a good bit about just his process how he gets started
• 1:08:07
  things like that and man since since then and before before us
• 1:08:12
  we're we're not responsible for this at all but his channel has
• 1:08:16
  absolutely taken off man I think he has 10 or I think he has
• 1:08:20
  20,000 followers now on YouTube and.
• 1:08:24
  I followed him on instant. It's so interesting the stuff he
• 1:08:27
  finds and and how he you see some little something and he by
• 1:08:32
  the time he cleans it's like Oh my gosh.
• 1:08:34
  Yeah, it's so amazing man. One of the sharpest dudes that
• 1:08:38
  that I've ever known in in my life.
• 1:08:41
  So he he's he's doing amazing things with his edits his video
• 1:08:46
  edits and and putting everything together.
• 1:08:48
  Proud of him, man. And I can't wait to have him on.
• 1:08:51
  We're deaf. We're we keep saying that he is
• 1:08:53
  coming on in 2024 a guarantee because the handler wants to
• 1:08:58
  meet him and I've got questions so we're not done with him.
• 1:09:01
  But there's here he is. Both of these videos I'm going
• 1:09:05
  to show from Andy. Both had a lot, a ton, tons of
• 1:09:10
  views, close to 100,000 or so between them, things that I did
• 1:09:16
  not know in that episode. We'll start with the first one.
• 1:09:19
  He's talking about plantation tokens.
• 1:09:22
  I'll let him explain. Right after the Civil War.
• 1:09:24
  So during Reconstruction, when slaves were turned into paid
• 1:09:30
  employees, for the most part plantations would turn around
• 1:09:33
  instead of paying an actual legal tender.
• 1:09:37
  The Plantation Stores, the commissaries that they had on
• 1:09:40
  the plantations, they would basically make these brass
• 1:09:44
  tokens with denominations on them.
• 1:09:46
  And so it was a closed system, a rigged system.
• 1:09:48
  It wasn't fair, but this is what they did.
• 1:09:50
  So made these tokens and they paid these now paid workers,
• 1:09:54
  former slaves to go use at the plantation store to buy their
• 1:09:57
  bread or tobacco or meat or whatever.
• 1:09:58
  That whole case right there I found someone had either buried
• 1:10:02
  them all together or someone lost them all together because
• 1:10:05
  they were all together. Probably one of the more
• 1:10:07
  interesting as far as the historical aspect of it, being
• 1:10:10
  able kind of put the South Louisiana story together and
• 1:10:14
  just being able to tell this was actually used and for this
• 1:10:17
  purpose. That's just another way of
• 1:10:18
  telling the story. So interesting man.
• 1:10:23
  Just the the just those little details and things.
• 1:10:28
  He could talk for hours about it.
• 1:10:29
  I know he could and I so could I I mean that would be a that
• 1:10:34
  would be a fun a fun episode to have on do a live with.
• 1:10:38
  You know, we can get some of his people to could come over and
• 1:10:42
  bring, you know, kind of merge them on the field.
• 1:10:45
  That'd be fun. We'll go search somewhere.
• 1:10:47
  We'll go search you. That's it.
• 1:10:48
  Doesn't matter where you're at. There's no telling what's under
• 1:10:50
  your feet. No telling even a few inches or.
• 1:10:54
  A few feet or a a mile down, there's no telling what's.
• 1:10:57
  Anything. When you watch his videos, it
• 1:10:59
  doesn't look like he's, you know, digging super deep to get
• 1:11:04
  down into to get this stuff at all.
• 1:11:07
  Wow, I know. That's awesome, man.
• 1:11:10
  It's awesome, Paul says. They had never heard the
• 1:11:12
  episodes before you joined Jr. So yeah, Yep, kind of I I second
• 1:11:17
  what Hilton says. Go back and watch some of them.
• 1:11:19
  There's some pretty cool stuff. It's it's all funny how all the
• 1:11:25
  pieces have fit throughout the year.
• 1:11:27
  That's kind of fun. Watching these videos you can
• 1:11:29
  see how especially the OD has changed in its time and this
• 1:11:35
  Studio Two has changed some too. You know and and and going to
• 1:11:40
  keep growing. Handlers just kicks ass.
• 1:11:43
  He has that $4000 microphone that makes him sound like smooth
• 1:11:48
  silk. Hey I noticed tonight I don't
• 1:11:50
  have my ear pieces in. Is it?
• 1:11:53
  Have you noticed? Is my doing any echo?
• 1:11:55
  Is everything fine. It was echoing a little bit, but
• 1:11:58
  it isn't terrible I I got to. Turn down my game.
• 1:12:02
  It's fine. No, you're fine.
• 1:12:03
  You don't need to do anything. You're good.
• 1:12:05
  You're good. Yeah, I thought Brantley was
• 1:12:06
  echoing earlier just a little bit, but it's not echoing
• 1:12:08
  anymore. Yeah, Yep, Yep, that fixed it.
• 1:12:13
  So anyhow, that was the Plantation tokens.
• 1:12:15
  And then and then here's another little interesting Tigs bit from
• 1:12:20
  Andy on that same show. That's from the early 1700s.
• 1:12:24
  That's a hammered silver Spanish coin.
• 1:12:27
  It would just kind of knock a little chip of it off and they
• 1:12:29
  would stamp it on and that's what their coins were.
• 1:12:32
  When people think about pirate treasure, they think about
• 1:12:34
  these. These are called cobs, but
• 1:12:36
  that's probably the oldest silver coin I have, early 1700.
• 1:12:39
  I dug something that's worth well over worth $10,000, well
• 1:12:43
  over $10,000, I'll tell you that.
• 1:12:45
  It's it's in one of my videos. Then you got to go watch them
• 1:12:48
  all and figure it out. And I did figure it out for the
• 1:12:54
  record by watching them all side text.
• 1:12:57
  I can't divulge which one it was, but it was.
• 1:13:00
  But it's pretty cool. But it's really neat that you
• 1:13:02
  can go out. That's not the appeal.
• 1:13:04
  That's not why you go out there is to, you know, you.
• 1:13:06
  It's not every day you're going to find something that valuable,
• 1:13:09
  but man, you're holding a piece of just a whole different world,
• 1:13:14
  man. Like, you know, just a whole
• 1:13:16
  different. World.
• 1:13:17
  It's so cool. Like a buddy of mine and and
• 1:13:20
  this was outside of a little area called Fleeta.
• 1:13:23
  And what was that yellow river that used to flow through there
• 1:13:26
  and flowed into Lake Jackson? They're not in a long yellow
• 1:13:29
  river along those banks, man. There's so much like Flint, like
• 1:13:32
  natural Flint in that area. You could go behind his house in
• 1:13:36
  those fields and it it's unbelievably amount of airheads
• 1:13:41
  that we would find pottery that we would find.
• 1:13:43
  I mean, you can go out there any day and you could find, you
• 1:13:46
  know, three or four broken arrowheads, some pieces of
• 1:13:48
  pottery any day of the week. Especially when they would go
• 1:13:51
  out there and diss that field up to plant, I'd always would go
• 1:13:54
  out there and search. Then they would find all kinds
• 1:13:56
  of stuff and it's just crazy how thick it was just even there in
• 1:13:59
  that one spot, you. Know.
• 1:14:00
  And you never It's like Jay. It's like like him holding the
• 1:14:04
  piece of silver in his hand. Who was the last person to hold
• 1:14:07
  that in their hand that it fell out of their hand?
• 1:14:09
  You know how many years ago? I mean, you know, who knows?
• 1:14:12
  I know, man. It's it's nuts.
• 1:14:14
  I should think about that with those you know wouldn't find
• 1:14:16
  those arrowheads. It's like, yeah, I wonder how
• 1:14:18
  this got here. Like did they shoot?
• 1:14:19
  Did they miss Was this like uses defense Were they trying to kill
• 1:14:22
  a deer Like you know what was exactly.
• 1:14:25
  You know there's. Tons and tons of arrowheads and
• 1:14:28
  different, you know, different pottery and all kinds of
• 1:14:31
  different artifacts. And Toledo Bend Reservoir, where
• 1:14:35
  you know, where I, where I grew up, they impounded that lake in
• 1:14:38
  the in the late 60s and flooded it.
• 1:14:42
  And then every now and then when the lake gets low, like they've
• 1:14:44
  drawn it down to fix the dam or whatever, There's some of those
• 1:14:48
  places. And I've gone out with with my
• 1:14:51
  ex brother-in-law and looked for arrowheads and stuff and he's
• 1:14:54
  found them, found them all over the place.
• 1:14:57
  And a few years ago, when they drained it down to to fix the
• 1:15:00
  dam, they found all kinds of stuff that had been under the
• 1:15:05
  water basically since it it flooded, you know, and it was
• 1:15:08
  like all of that was like in the middle of the woods at the time.
• 1:15:11
  You would have never found it, you know?
• 1:15:12
  And then those trees have rotted and all that.
• 1:15:15
  Yeah, man, it it's, it's, it's totally nuts.
• 1:15:18
  Totally nuts. But yeah, well.
• 1:15:20
  It's like me in in in Colorado finding those shark's teeth.
• 1:15:24
  There was a shark that was a shark.
• 1:15:26
  You know, I'm 6000 foot elevation and I'm finding a 90
• 1:15:30
  million year old shark tooth. Isn't that crazy?
• 1:15:33
  Isn't it? It's crazy, yeah, Hilton.
• 1:15:36
  Hilton says arrowheads fascinate him too.
• 1:15:40
  And he said, I don't dig but find layering on top of the
• 1:15:43
  ground after a rain. You know, it's just like, how
• 1:15:46
  many rains did it take for that to finally rain off enough.
• 1:15:51
  Enough, yeah. For it to show itself.
• 1:15:53
  Yeah, it's amazing, man. It's amazing.
• 1:15:55
  It is. It is moving along.
• 1:15:58
  This was one of my favorite stories because it is opened up
• 1:16:03
  a Pandora's box for the show and it happened in the middle of a
• 1:16:07
  show. But but we've talked more about
• 1:16:10
  it and we will be talking more about this kind of stuff moving
• 1:16:14
  forward. Let me just show it.
• 1:16:15
  You got to go through the woods to get there.
• 1:16:17
  I mean, ain't no St. Lights.
• 1:16:18
  Ain't nothing in middle of nowhere.
• 1:16:21
  We're driving that truck, dude. It's not like we were messed up
• 1:16:24
  or anything like that. We're sober.
• 1:16:25
  It was a little bit overcast, which kind of sucks, you know,
• 1:16:28
  because it took away from the clarity of what I was trying to
• 1:16:30
  see. But these three orbs were kind
• 1:16:32
  of in front of us, just kind of just moving.
• 1:16:35
  But I didn't think that much about it, right.
• 1:16:37
  I just like, I don't know what I'm seeing up there, but dude,
• 1:16:40
  And then I just keep watching them and dude, and they're just
• 1:16:42
  getting kind of more, like, quicker and more powerful.
• 1:16:44
  And there's three of them that work.
• 1:16:45
  There's no airport. We're in the middle of nowhere,
• 1:16:47
  and, dude, they're not. And, like, it really kind of
• 1:16:49
  feels. It just feels more aggressive.
• 1:16:51
  I don't know if that makes sense or not, but did I kind of get a
• 1:16:54
  little scared? And I remember Marty or Eric or
• 1:16:56
  one of them's like, punch it and what?
• 1:16:58
  Dude, he's got a Chevrolet truck, a new Chevrolet truck.
• 1:17:01
  And and dude, I freaked out, Dude, I stomped the gas pedal
• 1:17:04
  and I swear to God, this happened.
• 1:17:06
  I stomped the gas pedal. That truck went nowhere.
• 1:17:09
  Just set still. I mean, we're we're doing
• 1:17:12
  probably 45. Crazy, crazy.
• 1:17:17
  That was crazy. I bring that I I bring that that
• 1:17:21
  video did well. It didn't do.
• 1:17:23
  It wasn't one of the top watched of the year, but that subject
• 1:17:28
  just keeps coming back and it reminded me that we never
• 1:17:31
  addressed this on a show. I kept trying to spit this out
• 1:17:34
  during the show, just couldn't do it.
• 1:17:37
  Joe Rogan had an episode where he talked to David Grush, the
• 1:17:42
  UFO whistleblower that's been testifying in front of the
• 1:17:47
  Congress and and all of that on several things.
• 1:17:51
  He still works for the military, has clearance to talk about
• 1:17:54
  this, blah blah blah. He told an experience that was
• 1:17:59
  very similar to what that story was at the beginning of of that
• 1:18:05
  episode with Joe Rogan. And it just blew my mind and I
• 1:18:08
  kept forgetting to tell Blasey. I know he went back and and
• 1:18:10
  checked it out, but. Yeah, that's that's insane.
• 1:18:13
  That was nuts. Yeah, 'cause you should.
• 1:18:15
  You told me that I'd watched part of those episodes, but I
• 1:18:18
  didn't see. I didn't hear that part.
• 1:18:19
  And I went back and listened to it and I was like, wow, that is
• 1:18:21
  kind of eerily very similar, you know, very that I went through.
• 1:18:25
  So it. Very similar.
• 1:18:27
  Very similar. Yep.
• 1:18:29
  Oh, look, you boy. Hal Laird has decided to chime
• 1:18:32
  in tonight with them hands. Yes, Sir.
• 1:18:35
  Yes, Sir. Oh, yeah, yeah, that is that is
• 1:18:39
  the one. Look forward.
• 1:18:42
  To getting he is the dad of of the more famous Murphy Laird,
• 1:18:45
  you know. Yes, that's right.
• 1:18:48
  He is the father of our official field correspondent and.
• 1:18:53
  And Howe's and Howe's father is a funky piano player that's got
• 1:18:57
  all kinds of acclamations himself.
• 1:19:00
  He's met and done all kinds of cool stuff, and he's a trip to
• 1:19:03
  look at the jowls. But, oh, Andy could tickle those
• 1:19:10
  ivories, boys as good as anybody.
• 1:19:12
  Yeah. So how funny.
• 1:19:13
  Guy has a great father and just a cool son, you know how just
• 1:19:16
  kind of right there in the middle, you know?
• 1:19:18
  So Yep, nobody talks about him very much.
• 1:19:20
  Yeah. And how's our friend?
• 1:19:22
  That's right. That's right.
• 1:19:25
  I know. How's hey, I can tell you this
• 1:19:27
  how very instrumental on me learning a lot about Southern
• 1:19:31
  Rock and and and stuff that I didn't know coming out of high
• 1:19:34
  school. If it wasn't for Hal and Cadwell
• 1:19:36
  on some dirt roads I wouldn't know a lot that I know about
• 1:19:40
  Southern Rockfordshire. And how's how's my brother how
• 1:19:42
  hey I told you all the story about me and how running out of
• 1:19:44
  Bourbon Street that time me and how that's a good time.
• 1:19:47
  Yeah. You have used to hold the bar in
• 1:19:49
  our in Troy for a little while too.
• 1:19:50
  Boy with my roommate at one time.
• 1:19:52
  Lord have mercy. Yeah.
• 1:19:53
  Hal and I how's a brother for sure we.
• 1:19:58
  Ain't no doubt, ain't no doubt, man.
• 1:20:00
  Hilton says he forgot about that episode, that he was coming back
• 1:20:04
  from West, TX. And saw an orb in the sky like a
• 1:20:08
  white ball and he told his wife what is that?
• 1:20:12
  She said that's that's there's a white.
• 1:20:14
  And it was gone. So yeah, I mean it's crazy that
• 1:20:20
  you can't ever get the daggum, that you can't take a picture of
• 1:20:23
  them, a video of them. It's crazy strategic.
• 1:20:26
  You know there's it's it's just it's they.
• 1:20:29
  I mean, why? If they could get here, why
• 1:20:31
  wouldn't they have prevent cameras from taking good
• 1:20:34
  pictures of them? I mean they they made it here
• 1:20:39
  anyhow that we're not talking about UFOs tonight.
• 1:20:42
  But let me jump into this one. This is one of the videos, one
• 1:20:47
  of the most viewed videos this year surprisingly.
• 1:20:51
  But it's just a little shout out to to my heroes.
• 1:20:54
  So let me play this. There's so many little Nuggets
• 1:20:57
  that I've taken out of Fly on the Wall and so many little
• 1:21:00
  things. I'm a huge, huge Saturday Night
• 1:21:03
  Live fan and always have been. I mean, look behind me, there's
• 1:21:07
  Chris Farley, Adam Sandler and David Spade.
• 1:21:10
  Do you think that show may be one of my favorites?
• 1:21:13
  I mean, come on, those guys are. Those are, I'll say it, those
• 1:21:17
  are those guys are my heroes. Like it or not, I looked up to
• 1:21:20
  those guys. I still still do.
• 1:21:24
  It's my favorite thing in here, man, is that pitch.
• 1:21:26
  I'm looking up to those guys and looking down at an empty ball of
• 1:21:29
  Scotch. Look I didn't look they made
• 1:21:33
  they're not role models. They weren't role models by any
• 1:21:38
  any means but they've they all did well and and two of.
• 1:21:41
  Them. I still listen to that show all
• 1:21:43
  the time. I love that that podcast.
• 1:21:45
  Oh, it's great. I've listened to every single
• 1:21:47
  episode and and you know, heartfelt sympathy goes out to
• 1:21:51
  Dana Carvey losing his son at the end, towards the end of of
• 1:21:56
  last year. I know that, I know that's tough
• 1:22:00
  on them, but man, that's fly on the wall.
• 1:22:02
  Definitely my favorite podcast. Go check it out if you like
• 1:22:05
  Saturday Night Live, if you like funny things you want to hear
• 1:22:08
  how kind of want to hear how the how the sausage is made, how the
• 1:22:12
  soup is made or whatever. Go listen to that because they
• 1:22:15
  have the behind the scenes people and they talk about
• 1:22:18
  things you never would have known that would happen on
• 1:22:21
  Saturday Night Live or some of the funniest sketches that
• 1:22:24
  you've ever seen. So coming back in, got another
• 1:22:29
  one from Bobby. John just had to bring it in
• 1:22:33
  because it was one of the top 25 most viewed videos that we had
• 1:22:38
  this year. Let's show it.
• 1:22:40
  But I can only imagine what it's actually like when you're out
• 1:22:42
  there 24/7, miserable is all get out, you know?
• 1:22:46
  And it it doesn't honestly doesn't look like fun.
• 1:22:50
  I mean, no, no, I mean you're. I mean by that day, five or six.
• 1:22:54
  Just thinking. What in the world I sign up for?
• 1:22:57
  And you can hear there as the audio got terrible at the end
• 1:23:01
  with him. That's what we had to deal with
• 1:23:02
  on that show. But I mean, he answered so many
• 1:23:06
  questions about survive and things that I had wondered for
• 1:23:10
  years, questions. My mom had all kinds of stuff.
• 1:23:15
  So we got to get him back on and and we will.
• 1:23:18
  But it's interesting to hear him talk about, you know, how.
• 1:23:23
  Yeah, no, there was nothing fun about it.
• 1:23:25
  Didn't look fun to the way he played.
• 1:23:28
  It didn't look fun. And first time ever he he
• 1:23:32
  finally revealed that fire challenge and how that all went
• 1:23:35
  down on TIGS. Bits for yeah.
• 1:23:37
  He was no longer bound by the the claws with oh really?
• 1:23:41
  Pants or whatever. They would not.
• 1:23:43
  Whatever they are, not worldwide.
• 1:23:44
  That's David Letterman. It's showing my age.
• 1:23:48
  But whatever the. Mark Mark Burnett.
• 1:23:51
  Mark Burnett Productions. That's who.
• 1:23:54
  Who does survivors? So yeah, yeah, he did.
• 1:23:56
  He revealed enterprises. The good, the good doctor, Merv.
• 1:24:01
  But yeah, that was, that was a good one.
• 1:24:03
  And Speaking of good doctors, had to bring this one in another
• 1:24:08
  good video. But, he explained, when we had
• 1:24:12
  our good friend, y'all's good friend, now my good friend Tim
• 1:24:16
  Michael Schmidt on Schmidty, when we had him on the show, we
• 1:24:19
  asked him what an executive producer is exactly and what
• 1:24:24
  this segment is. We kind of if you haven't
• 1:24:26
  figured this out, you probably haven't because I haven't told
• 1:24:29
  you about it. This is the interesting part of
• 1:24:33
  some of our things. Some of these are some
• 1:24:35
  interesting stories that we've had over the over the past year.
• 1:24:39
  But I found this this super interesting because I've really
• 1:24:43
  never known what the hell does an executive producer do on a
• 1:24:46
  show or a movie. He answers it.
• 1:24:48
  Executive producer is kind of top of the food chain.
• 1:24:51
  The the movie doesn't happen without that individual.
• 1:24:54
  They are the business side of it.
• 1:24:56
  They are the the ones that usually.
• 1:24:58
  Buy the script. Own the script.
• 1:25:01
  They are the business they they own.
• 1:25:03
  They they own the project. If it fails, it's their fault.
• 1:25:07
  If it wins, they win. They get the, they get the
• 1:25:09
  benefit, right. They're the ones that are going
• 1:25:11
  to accept the Oscar for the best film, and it's because it's
• 1:25:15
  theirs. They also get the windfall from
• 1:25:18
  it. I mean, now you know what?
• 1:25:22
  The executive producer. Does not know that I know.
• 1:25:25
  It no no fun episode with with Tim Michael Schmidt and and he
• 1:25:33
  in fact he reached out to me the other day a few days ago and
• 1:25:37
  said he wants to come back on but he wants to do something a
• 1:25:40
  little bit different. He wants to host us and
• 1:25:44
  interview us. I love it.
• 1:25:48
  I do too, and let's do it. That may not be one we want.
• 1:25:52
  To do. How could that?
• 1:25:53
  How could that not be good? It'll be great.
• 1:25:56
  I don't know if we want to do that one.
• 1:25:58
  Live with them, though, to be honest.
• 1:26:01
  Editing. No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:26:03
  Yeah, Tim Michael Schmidt requires editing, folks.
• 1:26:07
  So I don't think we're to the point of.
• 1:26:09
  Having a great movie it you. Know we just right.
• 1:26:12
  We're just doing it to protect Schmidt's career.
• 1:26:15
  He's trying to be an. Actor We're just a couple of
• 1:26:18
  microphone wannabe, so we just want to make sure he doesn't get
• 1:26:21
  in no trouble with our shenanigans.
• 1:26:23
  Right now, we would love to have a kind of a a clip that would go
• 1:26:26
  viral, maybe, maybe even cancel him.
• 1:26:28
  But but I don't want to cancel him.
• 1:26:31
  I just would love to have the content.
• 1:26:33
  Maybe it would boost him up. I don't know, Tim, if you're
• 1:26:35
  watching. We'll have it for later.
• 1:26:37
  We could use it, yeah. It's up to you.
• 1:26:39
  It's up to you. But that that led me into this.
• 1:26:43
  We're going to kind of start to get into some funnier, funnier
• 1:26:46
  clips as we start to wind this down.
• 1:26:49
  Told Y'all. We got a lot of clips.
• 1:26:50
  There's 48 clips here. We did 49 shows and giving you
• 1:26:54
  48 clips. OK Yeah, just got to do it.
• 1:26:58
  You know, It's what you do with the best of episode.
• 1:27:01
  And thank God that we have you here to talk.
• 1:27:04
  They are. The one that gets me, I still
• 1:27:06
  give me the heebie jeebies. You know?
• 1:27:07
  I know, I bet. I respect lightning.
• 1:27:10
  I respect lightning more than as much as anybody.
• 1:27:14
  It hit near my house one time. I got some residuals through the
• 1:27:17
  house and through the mouse pushed me back.
• 1:27:20
  All I remember is it felt like I saw a blue energy ball in my lap
• 1:27:24
  and I was pushed away and it and my arm was locked up like this
• 1:27:27
  for like 30 minutes. I could not straighten it out.
• 1:27:29
  I was like, no, I'm in this house that's as big as my studio
• 1:27:32
  windows on every wall. I'm sitting in the middle like
• 1:27:34
  there's nowhere. To go Yeah, you got struck by
• 1:27:36
  lightning, man, is what? Happened.
• 1:27:37
  Yeah, you really did. I mean, you can call it what you
• 1:27:41
  want to. You got struck by light.
• 1:27:44
  True story, true story. My arm, dude, y'all I had that
• 1:27:48
  mouse and it was just like, it was almost out of movie scene.
• 1:27:51
  It like my chair went back like woo, like push away, like out
• 1:27:55
  of, you know, rolled away the the mouse goes out of my hand.
• 1:27:59
  My arm draws up. Like when you get like chunk,
• 1:28:01
  like when you use the muscle stimulator thing or whatever
• 1:28:03
  electrical, it draws you. But it was drawn up so tight and
• 1:28:07
  for a minute or two there I'm thinking, why is my arm not
• 1:28:10
  straightening out? You know, I was freaking out.
• 1:28:13
  It would not straighten out And I, you know and I and like I
• 1:28:17
  said, there's nowhere to go. It's still lightening all
• 1:28:19
  around. I'm in that house like, oh Lord,
• 1:28:21
  please let it stop. Let me just middle this room and
• 1:28:24
  hang on, huh? Yeah.
• 1:28:27
  Well Speaking of weather, that came from a weather episode.
• 1:28:31
  I think that show was called The Weather Show, which I love that
• 1:28:35
  that little great thumbnail I made with him just self self
• 1:28:38
  sucking myself because it looked like The Weather Channel logo.
• 1:28:42
  But anyhow, Speaking of weather, that show Talk weather got us
• 1:28:48
  our next guest onto the show. His videos and the video itself
• 1:28:53
  haven't gone as crazy as I thought it would.
• 1:28:56
  Apparently not as big of a market out there for storm
• 1:28:59
  chasers as I thought. But I'm a storm chaser.
• 1:29:02
  I'm a storm chaser enthusiast. I'm not.
• 1:29:05
  A giant check to that check this guy out, dude, he's
• 1:29:07
  unbelievable. I it's the one episode.
• 1:29:09
  I would say it's the most underrated episode that we did
• 1:29:13
  the whole season. Dude, So interesting.
• 1:29:16
  So interesting. So interesting.
• 1:29:18
  Hey, he comes down here. I'm getting in that truck with
• 1:29:20
  him. Hell yeah, dude.
• 1:29:21
  I think that's what he said. If he didn't say, that's what I
• 1:29:23
  heard and that's what I plan to do.
• 1:29:25
  So he said we could come up there, Yeah, yes, he's wherever.
• 1:29:29
  He's fine with us being a part of it, so hell yeah.
• 1:29:33
  But here he is talking about a terrifying tornado, and it's
• 1:29:38
  just kind of a part of a clip. But but Blasi and I'll explain
• 1:29:41
  the rest. I can see the tornado or the big
• 1:29:43
  white tornado going through the cornfield to my E about 1/4
• 1:29:46
  mile. It's it's at the green side
• 1:29:48
  lows. It's hitting, the farm's gone,
• 1:29:50
  you hear cows moving and stuff and they're hurt.
• 1:29:53
  And so anyway the the green side lows and all the tractor
• 1:29:56
  equipment's sorting out in the field and.
• 1:30:00
  This is crazy they had on the North.
• 1:30:03
  Wall of this house. About the only wall standing.
• 1:30:05
  OK. They had a They had a dial
• 1:30:07
  Rotary phone on that side of the house.
• 1:30:11
  I picked up the phone. There's a dial tone.
• 1:30:13
  I said What's? Ma'am, what's your name?
• 1:30:15
  She tells me her name as because we got the Calvary coming.
• 1:30:20
  Well. Yeah, yeah, so.
• 1:30:22
  So it it was too too long of a clip to to put it out.
• 1:30:26
  But before, before that, he was talking about he was in a truck.
• 1:30:31
  He had a transmission or some kind of issues.
• 1:30:34
  His truck died. He broke.
• 1:30:36
  Yeah, that's what happened. And then he had to run to this
• 1:30:40
  house, told them a tornado was coming.
• 1:30:44
  They all went to the basement and saved their lives,
• 1:30:47
  basically, and then come back out of the basement after the
• 1:30:51
  tornado had passed. And that's what happened.
• 1:30:53
  There was a freaking Rotary phone with still had a dial
• 1:30:56
  tone. Yeah, they had to run towards
• 1:30:58
  that house. Like as the storm's coming that
• 1:31:00
  it's coming at them, EU joint and that truck went out, brand
• 1:31:04
  new truck. And he's just sitting there like
• 1:31:06
  we can't get out of here. So they have to take off
• 1:31:07
  running. They're running to the storm.
• 1:31:09
  The storm's coming towards the house and it's in between them
• 1:31:11
  and they get to the house, go inside the whole house, they get
• 1:31:14
  in up in the basement. It just, the whole thing
• 1:31:16
  collapses, tears the whole thing apart.
• 1:31:19
  They make you just in time. Incredible.
• 1:31:21
  That's crazy. He tells several stories.
• 1:31:24
  The thing with that was you better eat or you better drink
• 1:31:27
  about 8 cups of coffee before you listen to it.
• 1:31:30
  Get Ray. He is wide ass open.
• 1:31:32
  I mean he talks fast dude, he goes and we got a lot in in a
• 1:31:36
  short period of time, you know. But then I think the thing
• 1:31:39
  started to derail a little bit when I hit him with this.
• 1:31:42
  Do you do you have a beef with Reed Timmer?
• 1:31:46
  No. Do y'all ever work together or
• 1:31:48
  that's my Donahue moment? It's funny, his eyes, the way
• 1:31:55
  they looked. I'll never forget that too,
• 1:31:57
  'cause I thought, well, Brantley went for it, you know, And we
• 1:31:59
  just sat there a second. He just stared.
• 1:32:01
  No, I think he's another storm. I think he.
• 1:32:04
  Should lobby for us going back to have everybody having to have
• 1:32:07
  a landline for national security.
• 1:32:09
  It wouldn't. Be a bad idea?
• 1:32:11
  Think about it. That landline didn't didn't
• 1:32:13
  didn't crash. It didn't.
• 1:32:15
  It didn't have a glitch. That's right.
• 1:32:18
  That's right. That's exactly right.
• 1:32:20
  But yes, Reed Timmer, another storm chaser.
• 1:32:23
  You know, I just, I have a visual that in my mind.
• 1:32:27
  I love weather. I love all of these guys.
• 1:32:29
  But you know, an Anchorman, whenever the opposing weather
• 1:32:33
  guys and the opposing news crews, they're all out there and
• 1:32:37
  they're jousting and doing all of that.
• 1:32:38
  That's how I envision storm chasers when they're out there
• 1:32:42
  chasing a storm like they. Meet each other off the road.
• 1:32:45
  And stuff they're running each other.
• 1:32:46
  They meet at this Texaco, They'll bitch up there.
• 1:32:49
  I'm going to kick his ass when he doesn't even know what's
• 1:32:52
  coming. And just all, you know that's
• 1:32:53
  the kind of the. Car has like the the things that
• 1:32:56
  come out of the wheels with the spikes that turn to cut up the
• 1:32:58
  other guy's tires and stuff. Little button to make a oil
• 1:33:01
  slick smokescreen. Like Spy Hunter.
• 1:33:05
  Like a little Mario Kart. What what's what I love about it
• 1:33:09
  is there's there's a couple of different approaches with these
• 1:33:12
  storm chasers. So you have Reed Timmer, who has
• 1:33:15
  this elaborate avalanche basically that's built that will
• 1:33:19
  go down to the ground so it won't get sucked up and all of
• 1:33:23
  this stuff, it's hell proof and now it's just beating the hell,
• 1:33:27
  all of that. And then the other approach is
• 1:33:29
  you just rent a car from same say, screw it.
• 1:33:32
  Yeah. Let's see the deposit.
• 1:33:35
  Pay this by the by the extended insurance policy.
• 1:33:40
  Let it ride. With it, yeah.
• 1:33:42
  I mean, I'm assuming that's what he does because I would be, I
• 1:33:45
  would be petrified if I'm out tracing a storm in a rental car,
• 1:33:50
  like I'm going to end up owning this rental car.
• 1:33:52
  But that mean that makes sense for that, Yeah.
• 1:33:56
  So, Jeff Petrowski, if you haven't checked out that
• 1:33:58
  episode, go and listen to it. You know it.
• 1:34:03
  It's going to get reposted at some point this year.
• 1:34:06
  Whenever we have some kind of major weather situation, a
• 1:34:10
  tornado outbreak, I'm going to drop it again because it's too
• 1:34:12
  good. He tells too many good things
• 1:34:15
  that people just need to hear. You know, it's a it's a good
• 1:34:17
  show and he needs to retweet it. But anyhow, I digress.
• 1:34:21
  So look, let's just keep on going.
• 1:34:29
  This was something that kind of got brought up.
• 1:34:31
  As you can tell, we're getting kind of later on in the year
• 1:34:34
  here with some of these things and this.
• 1:34:36
  This was brought to our attention when we had our good
• 1:34:38
  friend Carter Bryant on the show talking a little football and
• 1:34:43
  all, but he didn't realize what he was getting into at the
• 1:34:47
  moment. And then we had to explain some
• 1:34:48
  more things. We have a third Co host that
• 1:34:51
  that's usually running with us. He's a freaking Alabama fan, so
• 1:34:55
  I don't know what, I don't know what's happening here at Tigs
• 1:34:58
  Bitch, But we cover everything. We're covering everybody.
• 1:35:01
  It's nothing but love over here at the Tigs Bitch Show.
• 1:35:06
  And you know, we haven't, we haven't worked through a
• 1:35:08
  football season together yet. So this whole thing could just
• 1:35:11
  absolutely collapse on itself. We made it, boys.
• 1:35:17
  We survived it. We survived the football season.
• 1:35:20
  We don't hate. Anyone that got a you're the
• 1:35:22
  only one that got a bowl win. I'm glad you're acknowledging.
• 1:35:26
  That's right. I'll let you go Bring it up, you
• 1:35:28
  know. Hey, how about my new hat?
• 1:35:30
  You notice that? I do.
• 1:35:31
  That thing looks awesome, brother.
• 1:35:33
  Let. Me tell y'all we're going to
• 1:35:34
  put, we're going to have to put the link up because this is a
• 1:35:36
  sweet hat in person. It's as cool as it is on the
• 1:35:39
  picture. It's just a good, fitting hat.
• 1:35:41
  It looks good. Is that a Is that a 112 or what
• 1:35:45
  is that thing? Or is it something different?
• 1:35:46
  Completely. The game.
• 1:35:48
  Oh, OK, OK, There we go. Snapback.
• 1:35:51
  Yep. Yep.
• 1:35:54
  Old school. Yep, I like it.
• 1:35:57
  I. Like it, man?
• 1:35:58
  Yeah, I sent you the link to it and I don't even have one yet.
• 1:36:00
  I want. Hey, I got another rant.
• 1:36:02
  We can go on and do a whole show about one day what is what is
• 1:36:05
  Made in America. It'll take us all episode to
• 1:36:07
  find two things. Maybe.
• 1:36:09
  Oh yeah. I remember going through the
• 1:36:12
  airport in DC when Justin had to sing something for the
• 1:36:16
  Republican Party convention thing, where after Trump was
• 1:36:19
  nominated or elected or nominated elected, and I was
• 1:36:26
  going to get Make America Great Hat at the airport, 'cause you
• 1:36:30
  know, I'm there, I'm in DC, there's the hat thing, I pick it
• 1:36:32
  up. It's made in China, of course.
• 1:36:37
  Of course I did not buy it. You know, that's unbelievable,
• 1:36:39
  isn't it? I mean, that's just.
• 1:36:41
  I mean, are you kidding me? So we we used to make things
• 1:36:44
  here. We got to get back to that.
• 1:36:45
  But yeah, that's I just looked at that hat, 'cause I was just.
• 1:36:47
  I crossed my fingers every time, hoping it's some miracle that
• 1:36:50
  it's made in America. But I'm usually disappointed.
• 1:36:54
  Yeah. For sure.
• 1:36:56
  Buy American if you can, though, 'cause every time you buy
• 1:36:58
  something, you're making a vote. If you buy good stuff at the
• 1:37:01
  grocery store, they'll have more of it.
• 1:37:02
  It'll get cheaper. If you buy more stuff from
• 1:37:05
  American companies, they'll be more of it.
• 1:37:06
  It'll get cheaper. So.
• 1:37:08
  That's true. That's True Vote.
• 1:37:10
  Stick it. Stick it.
• 1:37:12
  Sticking with Carter. I wanted to bring this one in
• 1:37:15
  this this video got a lot of views.
• 1:37:17
  It's in the top 25 for the year. Not everything held up as
• 1:37:23
  expected. We'll watch it.
• 1:37:25
  I think this SCCC can get very wild.
• 1:37:27
  Normally we have a very static and and rigid SCC at the top.
• 1:37:33
  I think obviously with these, I mean I think I think every
• 1:37:36
  single one of us are going to pick Georgia.
• 1:37:38
  But in the West I I could see some real movement with the the
• 1:37:44
  shuffling that's happened in Alabama.
• 1:37:47
  Obviously LSU has some holes and Ole Miss, Arkansas and Texas A&M
• 1:37:54
  have some very interesting teams this year.
• 1:37:57
  So really excited about just even even if you take off you
• 1:38:01
  know the LSU shirt and all the LSU stuff and the LSU channel,
• 1:38:05
  you should look at that as a neutral perspective the the the
• 1:38:08
  SEC is very. Strong in the West this year.
• 1:38:14
  We wasn't totally too far, too far off at all really, but not
• 1:38:20
  at all. You know, an an interesting
• 1:38:22
  season. I wanted to go back and and kind
• 1:38:25
  of see some of those things. I thought for some reason he had
• 1:38:29
  picked Jaden Daniels to win the Heisman in that podcast that we
• 1:38:32
  did with him, not he picked Beau Nicks to win the Heisman, but it
• 1:38:37
  said that Jaden Daniels was going to have that.
• 1:38:41
  That's that's exactly right. And then while we're sticking
• 1:38:44
  with sports, these are some of the sports ones that really did
• 1:38:47
  well this year. This is the last one had our
• 1:38:50
  good buddy Mr. TK, Tommy Krysan on the show, another show that
• 1:38:55
  we had technical issues on. I only got about half of it
• 1:38:59
  recorded with him and then I had to kind of just finish the back
• 1:39:02
  end by myself. It stopped recording.
• 1:39:05
  But whatever we did get this little nugget out of him.
• 1:39:09
  He had been on on season one, so I had to give him kudos on what
• 1:39:12
  he had predicted. But before we start, Tommy, I
• 1:39:15
  have to remind everybody, you were on the show last October
• 1:39:20
  and you made some bold predictions, you know, and they
• 1:39:23
  were bold at the time especially.
• 1:39:25
  And looking back, we're not even a year removed from this.
• 1:39:29
  And you made the prediction. You said Kim Mulkey, Jeh Johnson
• 1:39:34
  and Brian Kelly would all win national championships within
• 1:39:38
  their tenure at LSU. Well, we're we got two out of
• 1:39:42
  the three out of the way with in less than a year.
• 1:39:47
  Hell yeah, we did. I just, All right.
• 1:39:52
  I plugged that one in there because I've had to deal with
• 1:39:54
  this Troy and Alabama bullshit for long enough.
• 1:39:57
  Yeah, that was OK. It did well.
• 1:39:59
  But it didn't do that that great.
• 1:40:01
  But I had to had to have give a little shout out to good old TK.
• 1:40:06
  He's awesome. Definitely, definitely will be.
• 1:40:09
  We'll be having him on him on again but just continuing to
• 1:40:14
  move on. We're getting close.
• 1:40:15
  It's kind of like this is kind of like the part of the show
• 1:40:19
  with Widespread Panic where they go all of a sudden they kind of
• 1:40:22
  start they they just finished up driving song.
• 1:40:25
  You know, they've finished up the deal.
• 1:40:26
  They've sandwiched something in between it, and then they're
• 1:40:29
  just kind of starting to doodle for a little bit.
• 1:40:31
  We're into the drums part of the show right now, where we're
• 1:40:35
  we're just playing drums. OK, we're getting there though,
• 1:40:38
  but we're getting close to the damn encore and it's going to be
• 1:40:40
  good. So, Oh yeah, you know, this
• 1:40:43
  starts it with me. Next time we're going to Food
• 1:40:46
  First or food last, because I've been hungry for that.
• 1:40:49
  That, that that was kind of a mistake.
• 1:40:51
  I think it was. Super hungry.
• 1:40:52
  Yeah. I got food in there still, yeah.
• 1:40:55
  Oh, I'm going to devour something when we're done.
• 1:40:57
  I'm still hungry. But this, this is one of the
• 1:40:59
  truer statements, one of my favorite things that has been
• 1:41:03
  said on the show in all of 2023. They always tell people music's
• 1:41:08
  like the soundtrack to your life, you know it's what's in
• 1:41:09
  the background while you're doing whatever you're doing
• 1:41:11
  throughout your day. Always love that.
• 1:41:16
  That was from the very first episode soundtrack of your life
• 1:41:20
  that we had had Jr. the Handler on.
• 1:41:23
  That was the name of the episode soundtrack in your life.
• 1:41:27
  That that video clip did extremely well on social media
• 1:41:31
  everywhere. But but man, it's so true.
• 1:41:34
  Know that they can bring the. Soundtrack for me lately and my
• 1:41:37
  wife has been goose. We have been wearing goose.
• 1:41:39
  Out. Yes.
• 1:41:42
  I I pulled up. I pulled up to the house tonight
• 1:41:45
  from doing a little side job. I was listening to it on the
• 1:41:48
  ride over, turn my boy Mike Diamond on to it.
• 1:41:51
  I come in the house. I come in the house and she's
• 1:41:53
  got it playing on the Alexa deal.
• 1:41:56
  Nice. That's awesome.
• 1:41:57
  I was like that. What are the chances?
• 1:41:58
  You know, we got to do. Usually we we don't always link
• 1:42:01
  up with what we like musically, she and I, but this one we do,
• 1:42:04
  so it's cool. Man, they just crossover.
• 1:42:07
  They're just they. Crossover.
• 1:42:10
  It's not happy. It's not happy.
• 1:42:12
  Smiley Jam band. It's Space jam, kind of bluesy,
• 1:42:18
  jazzy. It's just a few a good fusion.
• 1:42:21
  But it's not. It's not.
• 1:42:23
  It's not. I don't know how to explain it.
• 1:42:26
  It's not hipster, but it's not hippie.
• 1:42:28
  It's just cool. I don't know.
• 1:42:30
  Well, I think this is a good question for you.
• 1:42:33
  You bring this up, they're getting Goose is getting a new
• 1:42:35
  drummer. I don't know the whole story on
• 1:42:38
  what all's up or whatever, doesn't seem like it's anything
• 1:42:42
  super bad. I don't know.
• 1:42:43
  But you've been around enough musicians and all of that.
• 1:42:46
  How does that affect the band, especially one like Goose who's
• 1:42:49
  just coming off of back-to-back 10,000 C to, you know, the
• 1:42:53
  biggest shows of their their careers and they're rocking and
• 1:42:56
  rolling. Could that, how can that affect
• 1:42:59
  them? Just a speed bump.
• 1:43:01
  Yeah, usually. I mean it, it could do any, it
• 1:43:04
  could do anything. It could be the, it could, you
• 1:43:07
  know, it could be a hiccup, you know, if they don't have the
• 1:43:10
  right guy. But I'm sure they're going to
• 1:43:12
  get the right guy and it's going to add, it's going to add a new
• 1:43:15
  level, It'll be another incarnation, but it usually
• 1:43:17
  takes it up a notch. Usually, you know, 'cause
• 1:43:19
  usually everybody's more seasoned by that point.
• 1:43:21
  And if you're, especially when you're to a stature where other
• 1:43:24
  people want to be in that band, you're not having to beg
• 1:43:26
  somebody to play in your band, you know?
• 1:43:28
  So I mean they're going to get, they're going to have a list
• 1:43:30
  people putting their name in the hat.
• 1:43:31
  And usually how that works is everybody you know, everybody in
• 1:43:35
  the band and the artist and everybody throws names in the
• 1:43:37
  hat or you know and then they they'll do an audition or they
• 1:43:40
  may already have somebody in mind that's they might be the
• 1:43:42
  guy's tech he might step up or somebody you know another
• 1:43:45
  percussion guy go there and then they get a new percussion.
• 1:43:48
  Got to feel him. I mean who knows.
• 1:43:49
  But I think, I think that I think it I think it's usually
• 1:43:54
  comes out better. You think about all of there's
• 1:43:56
  never, you never heard. Like the band just fell apart
• 1:43:58
  because this one or that one, you know it.
• 1:44:02
  Bands change, you know, if you lose a guitar player, even a
• 1:44:04
  singer and stuff. But drummer's the heartbeat of
• 1:44:07
  the band. So kind of have a solid drummer.
• 1:44:10
  And I'm sure, like I said, a band of their stature now
• 1:44:12
  they're going to have some really good choices to pick from
• 1:44:15
  and it'll be even better, I think.
• 1:44:18
  I mean, yeah, you know what I mean?
• 1:44:19
  Yeah, yeah, for sure. I look forward to look forward
• 1:44:22
  to seeing what they come up with.
• 1:44:24
  Max leaning towards Hunger Site is his as his jam.
• 1:44:29
  I'm a so ready kind of guy. I love him.
• 1:44:31
  But there's no there's no bad song dude.
• 1:44:34
  I can listen to them all. They're all freaking.
• 1:44:36
  I think he said he's learning it.
• 1:44:37
  He might be figuring out how to play it.
• 1:44:39
  Oh. Hell you there you.
• 1:44:41
  Go Mcadoo's a picker. Macam shackle Doo Doo.
• 1:44:43
  That's my brother. Hell yeah, that's what I'm
• 1:44:46
  talking about. Silas, Alabama.
• 1:44:50
  Look, Speaking of funnies, we we repurposed this joke.
• 1:44:54
  We brought it back, but it was brought back for this particular
• 1:44:57
  reason. Here's the OG from the Elvis and
• 1:45:00
  Outlaws Show. They called Elvis the King, you
• 1:45:03
  know, here, Do y'all know what they called him in Japan?
• 1:45:06
  No. The king.
• 1:45:07
  Hell, he's the damn king, son. Where he was, he was.
• 1:45:12
  The king. Oh, that's a good one.
• 1:45:16
  Oh, that story gets old. Yeah, I yeah, it is.
• 1:45:19
  And just wasn't expecting it whenever that happened that
• 1:45:23
  night. But yeah man, that was that was
• 1:45:25
  a good one. Then this this happened.
• 1:45:27
  We got these new fancy ass mikes later on or later in the season.
• 1:45:32
  I got one, took one episode. Blasi's like, yeah, I got to get
• 1:45:36
  one too. You know we had to catch up to
• 1:45:38
  the handler. He's still got the OG king of
• 1:45:41
  the Mikes, but at least we're half stepping a little bit and
• 1:45:44
  this is kind of. We've got the two younger
• 1:45:46
  brothers here. You know I need all the tricks I
• 1:45:48
  I need all the advantages and tricks I can use.
• 1:45:51
  Boys, my my gimmick bag be biggest.
• 1:45:53
  Lord knows I do too. With these mics I no longer move
• 1:45:57
  from side to side. I just use the chair and I keep
• 1:46:00
  my, my keep my head locked up in this son of a big.
• 1:46:03
  Head on a swivel right here, You.
• 1:46:04
  Know. Oh yeah, absolutely.
• 1:46:06
  I can turn around, but I'm. I ain't leaving this mic.
• 1:46:10
  I ain't never going to leave this mic.
• 1:46:14
  Now I I harnessed one of my favorite comedians currently.
• 1:46:19
  His name is William Montgomery, the Memphis Strangler.
• 1:46:25
  You know these all. He's hilarious.
• 1:46:28
  Just look him up. Just look just.
• 1:46:29
  Look him up. What's his name?
• 1:46:32
  His name is William Montgomery. Just look up William Montgomery
• 1:46:37
  on Kill Tony. It's a hilarious.
• 1:46:40
  It's. It takes a minute to get him.
• 1:46:42
  It takes a few minutes to get him.
• 1:46:43
  Like, you don't just start listening to him and think
• 1:46:45
  you're listening to another, like a comedian.
• 1:46:46
  It's weird. Like, to begin with, yes.
• 1:46:49
  Yeah, but it's good. It is good.
• 1:46:51
  It just takes a minute. But one of his little
• 1:46:53
  catchphrases is that he he never gonna stop.
• 1:46:56
  So that's why I ain't never going to stop using this mic.
• 1:46:59
  But what I did learn is that I did need to stop letting it go
• 1:47:03
  over and the whole little red light was just blinking the
• 1:47:05
  whole times I'm screaming into it.
• 1:47:07
  Anyhow, it needed a limiter. It's what I learned from that.
• 1:47:10
  But any that was a that was a fun little that was a fun little
• 1:47:14
  video brings us into this one. This is #3 Most viewed video of
• 1:47:21
  the year. Yeah, we're getting, we're
• 1:47:25
  getting down to the nut crunching here.
• 1:47:27
  The hammers are coming in. We're getting ready to get to
• 1:47:30
  the to. The big boys.
• 1:47:34
  To the big boys, but this is coming in, coming in at #3.
• 1:47:40
  It starts off, she's really kind of thrown, you know, taking
• 1:47:42
  aback. He's got like, rose petals in
• 1:47:44
  her dressing room. And he gives her a rose when she
• 1:47:47
  gets there. He goes in, tells her he loves
• 1:47:50
  her and, you know, really want to, hoping by the end of the
• 1:47:52
  night, you know, they can work on marriage.
• 1:47:54
  And like, she's kind of like, oh, wait, what?
• 1:47:56
  Well, hey, this is a little rushed, you know, like, whoa.
• 1:48:00
  And she was like, this is so bizarre.
• 1:48:02
  I don't know what's going on here, this.
• 1:48:04
  He had her really, really frazzled.
• 1:48:07
  But you know, at the same time she is cool that she is able to
• 1:48:11
  make fun of herself. But she had no idea tonight on
• 1:48:14
  that show what she was getting involved in and how that I was
• 1:48:19
  watching some of the comments on YouTube.
• 1:48:21
  They're like, Oh my God, yeah, she she was not ready for this
• 1:48:25
  in any capacity. Man, what a run that video.
• 1:48:33
  Prime Time 99 Baby Prime. Time 90. 9 on a blimp and yeah,
• 1:48:38
  Tiffany. Tiffany's supposed to be joining
• 1:48:40
  the show, I think, isn't she? I mean, yes.
• 1:48:42
  Yes, So we've been been talking to Tiffany, going to reach out
• 1:48:46
  to her hopefully next week and and try to lock, try to lock it
• 1:48:50
  down. We're going to have, you know,
• 1:48:52
  hopefully, fingers crossed, have Miss Tiffany Gomez on the show
• 1:48:57
  to talk about everything. She's just a cool chick.
• 1:49:00
  We've, you know, Blasi, and I've listened to her on some
• 1:49:03
  different things and I've watched her on some other
• 1:49:06
  podcast. She's cool, man.
• 1:49:07
  So it's she's definitely not the crazy, crazy plane lady
• 1:49:11
  whatsoever. She's just.
• 1:49:14
  The, yeah, we covered that me and Jr. that should be in there
• 1:49:18
  somewhere but well we talked about that Jr. you know like
• 1:49:22
  yeah, hey, you know you're you know like you had that had that
• 1:49:25
  moment in time. So and I'm sure we'll we'll
• 1:49:27
  bring that back up again. Oh yeah.
• 1:49:30
  Oh yeah. We really?
• 1:49:32
  All right, This brings me, brings me to while we're on a
• 1:49:35
  run of funnies, one of my favorite stories of the whole
• 1:49:40
  year. It just still tickles me.
• 1:49:42
  I'm going to be laughing when this goes on it.
• 1:49:45
  It's probably not as funny to you.
• 1:49:47
  Blaze T, buddy. He and I were playing golf and I
• 1:49:50
  hit one down under these oak trees and he pulls up under
• 1:49:53
  these trees. As soon as he pulls up, I hear
• 1:49:56
  this what I determined to be a baby crying.
• 1:49:59
  And it's coming from my golf bag.
• 1:50:02
  I don't carry around a baby in my golf bag.
• 1:50:04
  All that I knew was that does not make any sense.
• 1:50:06
  And I didn't even say a word. I just took off running in a
• 1:50:10
  full Sprint. I mean, that's when I say
• 1:50:11
  running, Dude, I ran far. He starts yelling at me and he
• 1:50:15
  realized, you know, why I'm running.
• 1:50:16
  And there were these kids in a tree above us and one of them
• 1:50:19
  made a noise that sounded just like a baby coming from my golf
• 1:50:22
  bag. And I just do in.
• 1:50:23
  That doesn't make any sense. And I put out of process it.
• 1:50:26
  But I got to go. I've got to get out of here.
• 1:50:31
  That's it. That's exactly where they got
• 1:50:32
  picked up on Jr. Yeah, that's it.
• 1:50:35
  It just cracks me up, man. It is so damn funny to me that
• 1:50:38
  there was. Sometimes you got to get out of
• 1:50:41
  there, just like Hal, you know, that's funny.
• 1:50:43
  I was with Hal, Had to dad to get out of there.
• 1:50:45
  You're with Hal. Y'all had to get out of there.
• 1:50:47
  I. Remember one time, me and Hal,
• 1:50:50
  Me and Hal walking down the side of the road and I guess it was
• 1:50:53
  in Destin or Panama City or somewhere.
• 1:50:55
  And no, this ain't even been that long ago, but he and I got
• 1:51:00
  to wrestling or something, or horse playing or whatever.
• 1:51:02
  Here comes the cops up on us with their lights, you know?
• 1:51:06
  And I think Laura was there and she was like, y'all.
• 1:51:08
  Stop. We quit, Look, And we're like,
• 1:51:10
  oh, so we're just playing? They were like, would y'all
• 1:51:12
  freaking stop, Get out of the road?
• 1:51:14
  What are y'all doing, you idiots?
• 1:51:15
  You know? And yeah, anyway, we we didn't
• 1:51:19
  take off and run that time. Thank goodness.
• 1:51:23
  Oh. I'm butchering that story.
• 1:51:25
  We'll get Hal on to tell it. Yeah.
• 1:51:29
  Well, look, we're going to close the second set with this this
• 1:51:33
  one, and then we're going to come back very quickly.
• 1:51:35
  When I'm making Encore, we're just going to come in, wrap it
• 1:51:38
  up with our two hammers. But let me close this set with
• 1:51:42
  this one. This is one of the funniest
• 1:51:44
  moments that we had on the show this entire year.
• 1:51:48
  Totally got to tip my cap to Blasey for making this happen.
• 1:51:51
  It was brilliant in the moment. It's still brilliant now.
• 1:51:54
  Let's watch it. You're on TIGS bits right now.
• 1:51:56
  We're doing a podcast and we're talking about for Union.
• 1:51:59
  And back in the day, like in the late 80s and early 90s, we used
• 1:52:02
  to use this before Google and we would, we would call all the
• 1:52:06
  time. Back in the late 80s, early 90s,
• 1:52:08
  you could call. There was no Google, there was
• 1:52:10
  no Internet. How did they have such large
• 1:52:13
  access to information? Because they could even tell you
• 1:52:15
  the best chili recipe. I mean, it's crazy stuff.
• 1:52:18
  They could tell you exactly right.
• 1:52:20
  Now we're fortunate. Enough to have the help of.
• 1:52:23
  Google. Sure.
• 1:52:23
  I don't know how they did it back in the day.
• 1:52:26
  I think it was some government funded program and they were the
• 1:52:28
  only ones that CIA. Yeah, yeah, yeah, CIA.
• 1:52:32
  There's something going on there.
• 1:52:34
  Another little sprinkle of Bobby John coming in there, but hey,
• 1:52:40
  and that that was that story was brought up before and then
• 1:52:44
  confirmed on that show. That's crazy, that FOIA union.
• 1:52:47
  It is crazy. It is crazy.
• 1:52:50
  Yeah. It's nuts.
• 1:52:51
  Like they had access to so much information back then.
• 1:52:55
  You know what I mean? I I don't know how they did it.
• 1:52:56
  It it doesn't make any sense at all.
• 1:52:59
  No, I I don't know, man. Jr.
• 1:53:02
  Did you ever call that? No, but I know what you're
• 1:53:04
  talking about that. Yeah, it was.
• 1:53:05
  It's amazing how that how that works.
• 1:53:07
  I I don't know how they figured that out.
• 1:53:10
  It's nuts. My mom even knew about it.
• 1:53:12
  It's insane, MG says. Dang, I just got here.
• 1:53:15
  Well, don't worry, MG. You're here for the clothes,
• 1:53:17
  baby. You get to hear all the good
• 1:53:19
  stuff. Or just rewind it if you want
• 1:53:22
  to. You know, you can just start all
• 1:53:23
  over. Whatever you need to do.
• 1:53:25
  But thanks for coming. Glad you're here.
• 1:53:27
  All right, so coming in. Let's hit these encores.
• 1:53:30
  Now this next one is unbelievable.
• 1:53:36
  Guest can't believe that we had him on.
• 1:53:39
  Thank you so much Jr. for for facilitating it and making it
• 1:53:44
  happen. And DDPI promise you I am not
• 1:53:49
  making a resolution, but I promise you, I'm getting back on
• 1:53:52
  the yoga train and getting back into doing it.
• 1:53:56
  I've slipped. I've not been doing it like I
• 1:53:59
  need to. And don't you worry, I'm going
• 1:54:02
  to be coming back. I'm going to be diamond cutting
• 1:54:05
  and doing everything and get back into it.
• 1:54:08
  But look, let's just start here. I love this video from DDP.
• 1:54:13
  They called me Pop, the Prince of Promo.
• 1:54:15
  I would put asses in the seats before there was ever a Diamond
• 1:54:19
  Dallas fee. So pimp, that is.
• 1:54:23
  So pimp, he's in a damn hot tub. He does this whole interview
• 1:54:29
  between a going back and forth, between a hot tub, a cold
• 1:54:32
  plunge. He takes us on, shows us all of
• 1:54:36
  his equipment, motivates us. I tell some of the best stories.
• 1:54:43
  Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
• 1:54:46
  Oh, it. Was so good.
• 1:54:48
  It was it was so good we're let's watch another one with
• 1:54:51
  DDP. This is one of my 2 chambers.
• 1:54:54
  There's another one in here which is 15 PSI.
• 1:54:57
  Looks like a damn spaceship. I heard you on Joe Rogan a few
• 1:55:01
  years ago and he was talking about trying to get you into one
• 1:55:04
  of those after y'all did that podcast.
• 1:55:05
  Is that the thing that he was talking about that goes to like
• 1:55:08
  12 PSI or something? He wasn't talking about PSI, he
• 1:55:11
  was talking about floating in those tanks.
• 1:55:15
  That where it's all salt and it's completely blacked out.
• 1:55:19
  You feel like you're floating in the sky.
• 1:55:22
  You did it. No, I have never done that yet.
• 1:55:23
  I haven't done it, but I would. I would do it now.
• 1:55:26
  I want to see what it's like because Joe is always on the
• 1:55:28
  cutting edge. Like it was really funny.
• 1:55:30
  He started ice tubing around the same time that I did.
• 1:55:33
  Then I started to see the guests he brought on.
• 1:55:36
  Then I started to learn about it.
• 1:55:37
  Then I did the research in the science.
• 1:55:39
  I'm not doing anything that there hasn't been a ton of
• 1:55:42
  science on, but if it feels good and I know it's good, then I'm
• 1:55:45
  going to keep doing it. Simple.
• 1:55:49
  I still can't believe that we had Diamond Dallas page on this
• 1:55:54
  show. Dude, bang.
• 1:55:57
  I can't believe it, man. I can't believe it.
• 1:56:00
  I was just texting him earlier. Were you?
• 1:56:03
  Yeah, I texted him right when we started the show I had.
• 1:56:06
  I'd send him something out. He never replied and I didn't
• 1:56:08
  know if it made it or not because I saw the receipt and
• 1:56:10
  he's like Oh yeah, I forgot to text you bro, when you coming to
• 1:56:13
  Atlanta. Hey he's work out.
• 1:56:17
  He's opening a new performance center beach getaway place down
• 1:56:22
  in Panama City on Panama City Beach.
• 1:56:23
  So whenever that's open 100%, we can go there and record.
• 1:56:27
  Or do whatever. Yeah.
• 1:56:28
  Oh dude, that'd be great. I got to.
• 1:56:30
  I got to get back on that too. But I lost my account, Jr.
• 1:56:34
  I got to figure that one out. I.
• 1:56:35
  Let me know we'll whatever. They told me to expire it and
• 1:56:38
  and they would put me on something else.
• 1:56:39
  I got nothing right. Well, yeah.
• 1:56:42
  No, just that's. The greatest thing figured out
• 1:56:44
  I. Did my.
• 1:56:44
  I can't wait to. I got in the floor before I got
• 1:56:48
  in the shower to get ready for this podcast.
• 1:56:49
  I my back's been killing me. So I got in the floor and did
• 1:56:52
  some, did a little stuff to loosen up a little bit.
• 1:56:54
  I told Cherise I got to get back on the horse, but I took I do a.
• 1:56:57
  Lot of it on the beach when I'm fishing, I'll do a lot of that
• 1:57:00
  stuff, you know, like and the stretching and all.
• 1:57:03
  Like, dude, it is phenomenal. And I'll do that kind of while
• 1:57:05
  I'm sitting there fishing, you know, on the beach.
• 1:57:07
  So I I still do it. I just don't do it in front of
• 1:57:10
  the video. Right, right.
• 1:57:12
  Yeah. Same that's me.
• 1:57:13
  I I have a couple of things memorized that I'm going to do.
• 1:57:16
  I know it feels good, but I need to get back on my I did a few
• 1:57:18
  videos a few weeks ago, but that was right when the holidays were
• 1:57:21
  starting and y'all, I just gave up during the holiday.
• 1:57:24
  I didn't even. I usually try.
• 1:57:25
  I didn't even try this year. I just said, man, I'm too tired.
• 1:57:28
  I'm just going to do whatever, but I'm going to tighten it back
• 1:57:31
  down, you know, just I can feel it, my knees and my back, you
• 1:57:34
  know, that's the biggest thing I I don't care about.
• 1:57:36
  I mean, this is all you going to get.
• 1:57:38
  I'm beautiful enough. But I got a you got to feel
• 1:57:42
  good, you know, If you can't get hobbling around, you know, I
• 1:57:44
  know 5 or 10 lbs on my knees and back.
• 1:57:48
  I know the difference in that you know.
• 1:57:49
  So that's all I'm shooting for. Really.
• 1:57:51
  Yeah. Hell yeah dude.

  That's funny. Yeah, it is, dude.
• 1:59:11
  Yeah, it is. So continuing on with DDP.
• 1:59:14
  Couple more videos. These are some of the most
• 1:59:17
  watched videos that we had on the show.
• 1:59:19
  Every one of these videos that I'm showing you from this point
• 1:59:21
  out, these are our closers for sure.
• 1:59:24
  These are our our our cream of the crop.
• 1:59:28
  This is one of my favourites of the DDP runs, is him showing a
• 1:59:32
  couple of pictures of his favorite pictures.
• 1:59:36
  But this is my next favorite picture Me and the American
• 1:59:39
  dream brother. Oh.
• 1:59:42
  Yeah, he is, baby. That's that's from 1989.
• 1:59:46
  That night I'm wearing a Willie Nelson hat, right?
• 1:59:50
  Willie was playing in Fort Myers and Dusty came down from Tampa
• 1:59:53
  with his wife, Michelle, who's Cody's mom.
• 1:59:57
  And next thing you know, he got Dusty up there singing with
• 2:00:01
  Willie. Love it at night.
• 2:00:04
  Wow. Dusty never once.
• 2:00:06
  Once Willie brought him up, he never got off that stage rest of
• 2:00:10
  the night, he. Never got off that stage.
• 2:00:15
  Can you imagine being there that night for that deal?
• 2:00:20
  Why? When when Dusty won the N.W.A
• 2:00:23
  World Championship for the first time, David Allen Coe came in
• 2:00:27
  the ring. He was friends with a lot of
• 2:00:28
  those country guys. True story.
• 2:00:30
  That's crazy. Unbelievable.
• 2:00:32
  It's unbelievable how when Diamond came on and he was
• 2:00:35
  telling us about his early days in Tampa, wasn't it Tampa?
• 2:00:39
  Where? Or somewhere.
• 2:00:40
  In Fort Myers Fort. Myers with his pink.
• 2:00:43
  Cadillac and all that stuff. When he was the the Prince of
• 2:00:46
  promo, you know how he came here?
• 2:00:48
  He wasn't. But what, 30?
• 2:00:49
  He was 35 years old when he first started wrestling
• 2:00:52
  professionally. It's like, Can you imagine
• 2:00:54
  Crazy. I'm 45 and he was.
• 2:00:57
  This is like when he was in his prime.
• 2:01:00
  This is when he was at the top of the arena.
• 2:01:02
  All of that, you know. He's.
• 2:01:04
  Like, unbelievable he's. Wrestling the Undertaker when
• 2:01:08
  he's my age? No.
• 2:01:09
  Way unbelievable. Unbelievable.
• 2:01:13
  And then there's this video. This is the best video that we
• 2:01:16
  had on YouTube this year. The easily the most watched got
• 2:01:22
  us half of our watch hours on YouTube pretty much alone.
• 2:01:26
  The longer version of this video, but I've got that.
• 2:01:29
  I've made a short version as well that that is done extremely
• 2:01:33
  well. But here is the best story that
• 2:01:36
  DDP told. Probably the best story of the
• 2:01:40
  year on TIGS bits. Bro, I love chic.
• 2:01:43
  I'll tell you a story. We're getting ready to go to the
• 2:01:46
  Philippines. We get on there, there's a bunch
• 2:01:49
  of seats. So if you don't really like your
• 2:01:51
  seat, you take another seat. So that's what the sheet did and
• 2:01:55
  I'm sitting in the same row, like 4 people behind him.
• 2:01:59
  So he takes these two seats for himself.
• 2:02:02
  Here comes this couple just got married.
• 2:02:06
  There's a Sheik in their seats and they tried to explain to him
• 2:02:10
  that this is our seats. But what you're talking about
• 2:02:14
  Iron Sheik? I'm £300 will jump in.
• 2:02:18
  I beat Hulk Hogan, Jabronis, go, go, go.
• 2:02:20
  They come back with the stewardess, right?
• 2:02:23
  She's trying to explain to him. Diamond, Simon, tell them I'm my
• 2:02:28
  own chick. I can't possibly sit in one of
• 2:02:31
  these chicks by myself. Like, I don't know shit, you
• 2:02:35
  know, he always got away with things.
• 2:02:41
  I don't know £300, I don't want to.
• 2:02:44
  Get a world champion. I've been Belgian.
• 2:02:48
  So awesome, man. So awesome dude.
• 2:02:51
  That video has gotten so many comments, just views, likes
• 2:02:57
  everything. It is insane.
• 2:02:59
  Oh, that's great. That's amazing.
• 2:03:00
  It definitely opened up the portal to the wrestling world.
• 2:03:04
  And I know Handler loves wrestling folks and I do too.
• 2:03:08
  We all love it. But Handler, he knows it.
• 2:03:11
  He knows it a lot better than I do.
• 2:03:12
  I'm more of the Attitude Era, kind of guy like to dabble and
• 2:03:16
  go back. I know the old folks to the, you
• 2:03:19
  know, the golden era, but my, my expertise is going to be in the
• 2:03:23
  the Attitude Era. But but man, we if we doubled
• 2:03:26
  down on wrestling, we would have a million followers quit.
• 2:03:30
  You know, they love it. They eat that content.
• 2:03:33
  Absolutely. Eat it up, man.
• 2:03:35
  And 20/24/2024 we're going to have some more of that kind of
• 2:03:39
  stuff. I hope we get some different
• 2:03:40
  angles from some wrestling world some some creators from the from
• 2:03:45
  the wrestling world space maybe get some of them talk inside
• 2:03:48
  podcast lingo all that kind of fun stuff we need to.
• 2:03:51
  I want to make sure to try to keep that going because yeah, I
• 2:03:53
  love wrestling, always have. It's always a new ever evolving
• 2:03:58
  sport with new competitors and you know and there's no arrows
• 2:04:01
  you know if you like yours from when you were a kid or you know
• 2:04:03
  the different ones from different times and just
• 2:04:06
  interesting context. It's like it's just another form
• 2:04:08
  of art. You know, yeah, that's exactly
• 2:04:10
  what it is. That's exactly what it is.
• 2:04:13
  Entertainment. I listen to good old J Rs audio
• 2:04:15
  book. Yeah, man, talk about some
• 2:04:19
  insightful thing. He doesn't give everything up,
• 2:04:21
  but there's there's. Was it under the Black Hat?
• 2:04:25
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's a good one.
• 2:04:27
  Something like that. Yeah, dude, Unbelievable.
• 2:04:29
  It really was. But but that brings us, let's
• 2:04:32
  close this sucker outlet's encore this out.
• 2:04:35
  We have a few videos left to go, but man, the guest of the year
• 2:04:41
  no doubt can't believe that he came on our show.
• 2:04:44
  Especially when he did in August, just a couple of weeks
• 2:04:48
  before football season and came in and spent an hour and a half
• 2:04:52
  or a little bit longer with us. Probably could have talked for
• 2:04:56
  another hour and a half. I mean, we were rolling, but
• 2:05:01
  just can't believe that we had Marty Smith come into the
• 2:05:06
  podcast once again. Thank you Jr. for facilitating
• 2:05:10
  that one to get him on. You've known him for a long
• 2:05:13
  time. How?
• 2:05:14
  How did y'all, How did you two meet?
• 2:05:16
  Briefly. Music.
• 2:05:19
  Yeah, probably about 10 years ago when I first started working
• 2:05:21
  for Justin, we were somewhere, I want to say maybe it was in the
• 2:05:27
  Carolinas one time. That's why I think that's the
• 2:05:29
  first time I met like Austin Dillon and some other drivers
• 2:05:32
  and stuff. We were all at a show in
• 2:05:34
  Charlotte or something like that, and they were backstage
• 2:05:36
  afterwards and I was like, oh, shit, these these guys.
• 2:05:39
  And then again, Marty, just from from, you know, music and
• 2:05:43
  sports. Just nuts.
• 2:05:45
  Yeah, yeah, man, What a cool dude.
• 2:05:49
  What a freaking cool dude. And I'm.
• 2:05:51
  I'm going to play. It's the longest video we've got
• 2:05:54
  of the night and it's also one of the longest podcasts that
• 2:05:58
  we've that we've ever done. But hey, we're, we're wrapping
• 2:06:01
  up. Who cares?
• 2:06:02
  This video has had over 500,000 impressions views.
• 2:06:09
  Over a million impressions, Over 500,000 views, video that we
• 2:06:14
  that we made or that we've had this year and it is a great
• 2:06:18
  story. Y'all love his story.
• 2:06:20
  Every spring I go down and playing Coach Saban's golf
• 2:06:23
  tournament. I am just starting to play golf.
• 2:06:25
  They've stashed me with coaches, golf buddies.
• 2:06:28
  One of whom is GMAC Greg, Mcelroy's daddy. father-in-law.
• 2:06:31
  Excuse me, they're like Marty, won't you lead us off?
• 2:06:33
  I'm like, I don't really want to lead us up the damn cart Path
• 2:06:35
  comes a golf cart. It's coach Saban in his, you
• 2:06:38
  know, damn basket hat that he wears during during camp.
• 2:06:40
  He's like lead them all. I bet I hit this 5, 215 and 200
• 2:06:45
  of it was dead ass, right? So coach, like, he's like
• 2:06:48
  disappointed in me. He just puts his head down.
• 2:06:50
  I'm like all these other guys I'm playing with are like super
• 2:06:54
  good players, OK? They all hit it out there.
• 2:06:57
  So Coach's role in this tournament, you know the
• 2:07:00
  celebrity, they hit ceremonial tee shots with all the
• 2:07:03
  groupings. So Coach steps up there.
• 2:07:05
  He duck hooks his things dead left into the.
• 2:07:08
  So he had said to me after my drive next time we're on TV
• 2:07:12
  together, don't you think this ain't coming us.
• 2:07:14
  And I'm like, I hope you bring it up.
• 2:07:16
  Here's what I didn't know. Coach Saban was hitting
• 2:07:18
  autographed golf balls. He signs the golf ball that he
• 2:07:22
  ceremonially hits and whomever grabs it first gets to keep this
• 2:07:25
  Nick Saban golf ball I can't find.
• 2:07:27
  And my teammates. Like, where did my teammates go?
• 2:07:30
  They're all over in the woods, scurrying around.
• 2:07:32
  I have no idea why they come out of the woods and they hand me
• 2:07:36
  that. All right, I have this in my
• 2:07:38
  backpack for the sole purpose that if Nick Saban ever brings
• 2:07:42
  this up on TV, I'm going to go remember this.
• 2:07:49
  I mean, for good reason, for good reason that that would be
• 2:07:53
  that would be one of the most watched videos.
• 2:07:55
  Great story and an exclusive 2 ticks bits.
• 2:08:00
  I've been watching it all year hoping he would tell it
• 2:08:02
  somewhere else. He hadn't.
• 2:08:03
  He hadn't told that one yet. Nope.
• 2:08:05
  So it's unbelievable. Then let me.
• 2:08:07
  Jump into the stool. Y'all go ahead and scoop that
• 2:08:09
  up. Yeah, yeah, clip it up.
• 2:08:12
  Alright, absolutely dropping it here 1st.
• 2:08:14
  And then we talked about Jayden Daniels and we talked about
• 2:08:18
  this. I dropped this yesterday on a
• 2:08:20
  couple of socials. This is one of the videos that I
• 2:08:22
  had not put out in some places, but where it had gone out.
• 2:08:26
  It absolutely kicked ass and interesting to see how it all
• 2:08:30
  played out. The reason that Jayden Daniels
• 2:08:32
  had the the the season he had last year in Baton Rouge, LA, is
• 2:08:36
  Brian Kelly saying to him, I don't want perfection, son.
• 2:08:41
  I want excellence. And excellence comes every
• 2:08:45
  single day. By doing what you're supposed to
• 2:08:47
  do, the best you can do it. Dude, when we're sitting there
• 2:08:51
  and he's saying these things, I'm like, are we on ESPN right
• 2:08:55
  now? Like, is this a lot?
• 2:08:57
  What is this? Am I watching Sports Center?
• 2:08:59
  He's so good. He's talking to us.
• 2:09:01
  I know. He's so good.
• 2:09:02
  He's so good. Oh my.
• 2:09:04
  God, he's great. And it's funny you say that,
• 2:09:06
  Brantley. There were moments because we
• 2:09:07
  were on there, what, an hour and 40 minutes where I was sitting
• 2:09:10
  there and I felt like I was watching ESPN.
• 2:09:13
  Like you're saying, it's just Marty Smith giving some sort of
• 2:09:16
  an exclusive, some sort of a story that he's telling.
• 2:09:18
  And I was just all enthralled and going, Oh my God, no, you're
• 2:09:21
  talking to him. Engage, son, engage.
• 2:09:24
  You know, I did. My own inner Marty Smith voice
• 2:09:27
  had to kick in there. You know, like he.
• 2:09:29
  Got Marty ties. Great, great.
• 2:09:32
  Yeah, Marty Ties. Marty Ties hasn't been released
• 2:09:35
  everywhere yet. It will be that's probably
• 2:09:37
  coming in the next couple weeks. There's some videos.
• 2:09:39
  I'm telling you, doing this exercise, I'm like, Oh my Lord,
• 2:09:43
  I can't believe that one didn't drop.
• 2:09:44
  That's one of them. It didn't go everywhere.
• 2:09:47
  This is probably my favorite video, and I don't want to bring
• 2:09:50
  it down for a minute, but this, this video of him kind of
• 2:09:55
  brought me down for a second because he's so absolutely
• 2:09:59
  correct about everything and I'm kind of going through it right
• 2:10:02
  now with my dad as well. But he talks about how your
• 2:10:07
  father is your compass. Eric saved my life, man.
• 2:10:10
  I mean, he saved my life. When?
• 2:10:12
  When my dad died. I did not know Eric yet.
• 2:10:17
  And and that first record centers like me provided the
• 2:10:21
  perfect vehicle to carry my emotions within that sorrow.
• 2:10:26
  And you know when you lose your dad I hope all three of y'all
• 2:10:30
  still have your dad's. I don't know your your personal
• 2:10:32
  stories, but I don't. Whether whether your dad is your
• 2:10:36
  best friend, whether he's your hero.
• 2:10:38
  Whether you you want to do everything together.
• 2:10:41
  Whether y'all don't get along. You fight.
• 2:10:43
  Maybe you don't have that close a relationship.
• 2:10:45
  Your father is a compass, no matter what that relationship
• 2:10:49
  is. And when you lose him, that
• 2:10:52
  compass is just spinning. It's wayward and you don't know
• 2:10:55
  where to point your rudder. And I was lost, man.
• 2:11:01
  And Eric's talent gave me a North Star.
• 2:11:10
  Unbelievable. Yeah.
• 2:11:11
  I mean. And he tells the story of going
• 2:11:13
  on the bus and getting the first time when he met him, you know,
• 2:11:17
  behind that and telling him that story and how impactful that was
• 2:11:20
  did absolutely unbelievable. It was it was such such a good
• 2:11:25
  dude, such a so many good stories and y'all go check out
• 2:11:29
  his book if you haven't. If you ever got the new one
• 2:11:32
  sideline CEO, go pick it up. It is fantastic.
• 2:11:36
  He has an audiobook that's. I love audiobooks because who
• 2:11:41
  wouldn't want to? If you're going to read a Marty
• 2:11:43
  Smith book, I would rather have that man read it to me.
• 2:11:48
  It's going to be better than the voice in my head.
• 2:11:51
  I'm just going to listen to in my his voice is what I would be
• 2:11:54
  hearing. Might as well listen to it on
• 2:11:56
  audiobook. It's great.
• 2:11:57
  Go check it out. He has interviews with Nick
• 2:12:00
  Saban or or Insight Wisdoms from Nick Saban and I mean God, you
• 2:12:05
  name them the highest, the biggest coaches in the world.
• 2:12:07
  Kim Mulkey's in it. All kinds of I mean the the best
• 2:12:11
  of the best the best of the best and kind of wrapping up here we
• 2:12:15
  we have a couple more left with Marty.
• 2:12:19
  This one hilarious got so much attention.
• 2:12:24
  This one, this one got I think a little over 300,000 views.
• 2:12:28
  I think it's the number 2 video that we had of the year.
• 2:12:33
  Let's check it out. Or #3 something like that.
• 2:12:35
  Marty is a world class cornhole player and actually holds a
• 2:12:39
  Guinness Book, a world record for tossing cornhole.
• 2:12:42
  Last year, Baron Miller had this idea.
• 2:12:44
  He was like, I want to break a Guinness Book, a world record,
• 2:12:47
  live on the air and we're going to do it.
• 2:12:49
  Longest cornhole throw. We fly this dude in from London
• 2:12:52
  who's what's called an adjudicator.
• 2:12:54
  He's the guy who says it's legit or not. 11:50 was the the
• 2:12:59
  allotted time that we have had to pull this off.
• 2:13:02
  I'm looking at my wife. Watch going by God, I got 20
• 2:13:04
  minutes to break his damn world record.
• 2:13:05
  I'm gonna go do it. I ain't even lying to y'all
• 2:13:07
  airmail funk straight in the damn hole.
• 2:13:10
  I lost my ever loving mind. I went bonkers.
• 2:13:13
  I'm running around like I won the damn Super Bowl.
• 2:13:16
  Poor Jordan Rogers, my Co worker.
• 2:13:18
  He jumped off the set and ran over to me.
• 2:13:20
  Picks me up and I'm like pumping my fist in the air.
• 2:13:23
  I elbowed him right between the eyes.
• 2:13:25
  Damn near knocked him out. Unbelievable.
• 2:13:32
  That's. Great, dude.
• 2:13:33
  That's kind of stuff He does. All that's kind of stuff he does
• 2:13:35
  every day, it's. Incredible every day.
• 2:13:37
  It all gets paid to do that, isn't it?
• 2:13:39
  That's nuts, dude. Absolutely nuts.
• 2:13:41
  I'm so jealous. Yeah, me too.
• 2:13:43
  Me too. He's.
• 2:13:45
  But he's so good at what he does too.
• 2:13:47
  He's the best, so good at what he does.
• 2:13:50
  He is the best, just like he wraps this up and this was the
• 2:13:55
  3rd or 4th most watched video of the year and we're going to let
• 2:14:00
  it close this portion of our Tigs bits best bits.
• 2:14:05
  I get asked all the time what is the best experience in college
• 2:14:08
  football, and I'm very fortunate.
• 2:14:10
  I've seen a lot of them. But Saturday night in Death
• 2:14:13
  Valley, they're none like it. Ladies and gentlemen, the sun
• 2:14:15
  has made its way toward the western sky and it is Saturday
• 2:14:20
  night in Death Valley. There's just nothing like.
• 2:14:24
  Amen, Amen. I know you.
• 2:14:27
  We knew you would. You should know.
• 2:14:28
  You'd say that. With the grand finale or bunch
• 2:14:30
  of meth. That's that was you know it's.
• 2:14:32
  Amazing. Only untrue thing, he said.
• 2:14:34
  All podcasts. Actually, that's that's what's
• 2:14:37
  amazing about AI today. He was able to take Marty Smith
• 2:14:40
  and make him say that, You know what I mean?
• 2:14:42
  Like, yeah. Yeah, he took.
• 2:14:43
  He took Troy out and added Baton Rouge.
• 2:14:47
  Yes, that's exactly what. That's exactly what I did.
• 2:14:50
  But, but yeah, man, that was that was awesome.
• 2:14:54
  That video definitely got some run.
• 2:14:56
  Shout out to Drunk Brian Kelly. Follow him on Twitter.
• 2:15:01
  It doesn't matter if you're an LSU fan or not, you'll just get
• 2:15:04
  a kick out of him, you know? I know that I follow some of the
• 2:15:07
  Troy people that are kind of like drunk Brian Kelly follow
• 2:15:10
  the show now. He has a lot of followers.
• 2:15:13
  He reposted it, I think on on on X and it ran and and ran
• 2:15:20
  everywhere else but a but a good video.
• 2:15:23
  A good video how how says that Marty Smith pisses excellence
• 2:15:28
  and could not ignore and Hilton Hilton loved it and then and
• 2:15:38
  then your your boy. He didn't realize that the
• 2:15:40
  Undertaker's real voice. He didn't.
• 2:15:43
  He had never heard the Undertaker's real voice until he
• 2:15:45
  heard the Joe Rogan podcast. So missed some of that there in
• 2:15:50
  the chat, and and Hilton says to go watch the Ric Flair
• 2:15:53
  documentary. Hell yeah, there's a couple of
• 2:15:55
  them, and they're both fantastic.
• 2:15:58
  Absolutely. Oh, me and Sparky.
• 2:16:00
  Oh, when I when I had my place out in Whites Creek in in
• 2:16:03
  Nashville, Sparky used to come over.
• 2:16:05
  We watched some wrestling, play some video games.
• 2:16:07
  Sparky, him and Bonner. Can you imagine that, Blasey?
• 2:16:10
  When I moved to Nashville, my first only two guys of our boys,
• 2:16:13
  our brothers that lived up there, was Bonner and Sparky.
• 2:16:16
  Two of my buddies that I was tight with at school, but us 3
• 2:16:20
  random Joe's was holding it down in Nashville.
• 2:16:22
  Buddy, We had a good time, man. Can you imagine?
• 2:16:26
  Oh, but it was so good. No man, Miss.
• 2:16:28
  Sparky used to have a boat. Now he's done, worked his way up
• 2:16:30
  and he's got a nice big boat, you know, you sleep on and all
• 2:16:32
  that now. But when he was on his way up,
• 2:16:35
  he had this run about, man, we would drop it off right in
• 2:16:37
  downtown Nashville and just take off up and down the river and
• 2:16:40
  stuff, man. We had some wild adventures,
• 2:16:41
  dude. It was cool.
• 2:16:42
  I bet so. I bet you did.
• 2:16:46
  I bet you did. Well look folks, that that's
• 2:16:49
  that's kind of, that's going to wrap it up for the best bits of
• 2:16:53
  Tig's bits, man, I mean. Those were great.
• 2:16:57
  That was 23 that. Was great.
• 2:16:59
  You know you. Pack in there, dude.
• 2:17:00
  That's why it took us so long. You know what I mean?
• 2:17:02
  There's so many things that really got maybe a little.
• 2:17:04
  That was great. Maybe a little over packed in
• 2:17:07
  2024. We may not do quite as many, but
• 2:17:10
  look. It was, too.
• 2:17:11
  Deep top ten and we'll we'll go from there.
• 2:17:14
  But it was it was it was too many to pick from.
• 2:17:18
  Had too fun of a year? We typically aren't going to be
• 2:17:21
  going for two hours and 17 minutes on our podcast, so don't
• 2:17:25
  get used to that. But but man, what what a blast
• 2:17:29
  2023 has been or was. And no doubt 2024 is going to be
• 2:17:36
  equally as good and we can't wait to get started.
• 2:17:41
  TMC Baby TMC. Absolutely.
• 2:17:45
  That is correct. So let me close this down with
• 2:17:47
  one last little clip to end the show and we'll call it a night.
• 2:17:52
  Thank you everybody for tuning in.
• 2:17:55
  All right, boys. Have a great day.
• 2:17:56
  It's been your pleasure. See ya.
• 2:17:59
  Bye.
