- 3:26day we kind of left off talking about, you know, the whole
- 3:28experience, you know, the studio and everything else.
- 3:31What I didn't get into is a lot of these characters and all
- 3:33these people that I met, especially going into the
- 3:36Tarpon's game, man. You know, we started off with a
- 3:39pre party. We did a little thing and got to
- 3:41meet Biggie and Big Buck. Big Buck carries around his own,
- 3:45you know, Hall of Fame bust, you know, and conversation piece and
- 3:50it's cool. It's unbelievable, which is
- 3:52another conversation and another back.
- 3:54Story over Raceway Park. And dude, Henry, our shark man,
- 3:59you know, that sent us our shark video.
- 4:01And that's another thing. He's got some unbelievable shark
- 4:03video. I don't have time to talk about
- 4:05this. We got to talk about this next
- 4:06time. There's something really crazy
- 4:07he's got where he pulls a tooth out of the shark's head.
- 4:09So anyway and it I thought he was lying till he showed me the
- 4:12video so. We'll, we'll get him.
- 4:14To send that over to us. So now man, I tell you what was
- 4:17so cool. All right, so as soon as I get
- 4:18to the stadium after the pre party, which was awesome just
- 4:22hanging out with guys at the hotel.
- 4:23Soon as I walk in, literally walk into the stadium, walk
- 4:25through the gate and here comes this dude about 6 foot 12
- 4:28walking up to me. Tarpon's jersey on, on the back
- 4:31it says Creamsicle and it was captain.
- 4:34He has me a gift bag in hand, you know, immediately just hands
- 4:38it to me like welcome to the game, welcome to stadium, you
- 4:40know, and it's like, that's so awesome.

- 4:47So man, for the hat and shirt and everything, you guys were
- 4:51awesome. So dude, that was so cool.

- 6:01of the Bubba Army. And that's the way he's.
- 6:03In the spot now. Honest to God, it's the way it
- 6:05should be. I mean, it's OK.
- 6:07It's yeah hell yeah if. Y'all, I tell you what, if y'all
- 6:10were to wear some of this alpha Cologne that you can get at the
- 6:13Bubba army and in their merch store, you could become a Crown
- 6:16Prince as well. Dude, that stuff smells good.
- 6:18Again, I said I'm not a Cologne guy, but this stuff.
- 6:20I could smell it through. The clean you can't like clean
- 6:23delicious. Here I am.
- 6:25You know what I mean clean here I am.
- 6:26That's what I'd call it. But but no, man, dude, what's so
- 6:30what's so awesome and it's almost surreal like they people
- 6:33coming up introducing themselves to me and made it easy.
- 6:35I had my name on the back of this Jersey, but dude, everybody
- 6:39would introduce their self in their, you know, bubble army
- 6:42name. You know, like what's up man?
- 6:44Creatine, Travis. Go by your hands.
- 6:49Your hands. Yeah, well, that's the way it

- 6:54it. I'm still going.
- 6:55Hey, I'm Chad. It's nice to meet you.
- 6:56It's just that, you know, in a one-on-one setting, I'm bossy.
- 6:59One man posse, you know what I mean?
- 7:00Like, but you know what? In Bubba Army world that is cool
- 7:03and OK. It's acceptable.
- 7:04I stopped doing it after about the 4th or 5th, 6th person.
- 7:07I was like, you know, whatever you know, and I'd say my last
- 7:09name at least. I go into cutting a promo on
- 7:13them. Yeah, you'll you'll get.
- 7:14There, man one. Person you go through your whole
- 7:17spiel, but that's just that's when you're that you're that
- 7:20you're. There, that's exactly what it
- 7:22is. I mean, it's like drunk Kim
- 7:23comes up to me and drunk Kim's got, I think, a history of
- 7:26talking, like wearing people out.
- 7:28She literally walked up with an agenda.
- 7:30It's like, hey, I'm drunk Kim. Just want to do some stuff to
- 7:32you. Hey, it's nice to meet you,
- 7:34Amanda, nice to meet you. I'll see you later.
- 7:36And I said, well, hey, hey, hold on.
- 7:37You can talk for, you know, with us for a minute, you know, and
- 7:39then of course, you got real comfortable.
- 7:40But like now she was great, dude that said, Bubba, don't don't
- 7:43wear her out. She was awesome.
- 7:44She was trying to escape and I pulled her back in a couple
- 7:46times. So dude, everybody, dude Maria
- 7:49Guatemala, Bob Cook, tile guru. I mean, I can keep going and
- 7:54going and going. You know, Nick the gun guy who
- 7:57gave me a ride home at the end of the night.
- 7:58Dude, what a cool cat dude. Dude builds guns and stuff and
- 8:01got I used some help us out in he's he's a really cool guy.
- 8:04Gave me a ride back from the after party.
- 8:07You look like you needed someone to give you a ride back.
- 8:09That's for damn sure. I did not drive.
- 8:15It just hovered. Yeah, I like it.
- 8:17Just floated, huh? Just floated on there's.
- 8:20Yeah. They.
- 8:20There's no way you've come down back to Earth yet.
- 8:23I mean, this is just Thursday. There's just no way.
- 8:26It's been it's been a fast week. If we thought he was difficult
- 8:29before, Oh my God, we're. We've seen nothing yet.
- 8:33You ain't seen. Nothing.
- 8:35Oh no, just getting started, man.
- 8:37We're just starting to take off now.
- 8:39Well, so you so. You get there Blossy and they
- 8:41got you diet Millers, which is always appreciated when you got
- 8:43what you need to get your bevy and your mixture right.
- 8:45You already had your pregame going on.
- 8:47You get there, you probably get a little snack, you're
- 8:48introducing, you're shaking hands, kissing babies, the whole
- 8:51fun, the whole night. Everybody's acclimating with the
- 8:53blossy being in the party and then and then and Bubba's there.
- 8:57So you get to hang with Bubba, you know, you got, you know, you
- 8:59got pops over there to make sure everybody treats you nice.
- 9:02And so once y'all are in there, y'all are in a suite, right?
- 9:05Are y'all, is it a suite? They have really like a big
- 9:07suite on one end of the the first baseline or something.
- 9:10It is, yeah. We, we, we were down at the
- 9:11third baseline right over the bullpen of the opposing team,
- 9:14which is an awesome spot. And Bubba had all his notes.
- 9:16They have given him notes on every player, their mothers,
- 9:19their girlfriends, where they were from, like all this.
- 9:21Information. To sit there and Heckle them
- 9:26and. Unfortunately you at a Troy game
- 9:28and Bo Clark and all. Y'all messing with with Freddie
- 9:31Kitchens Clark? Did he got clocked off Freddie?
- 9:34Kitchens through the fence Never forget that he had that triangle
- 9:37of the fence on his forehead when Freddy Kitchens came by and
- 9:40gave him an elbow to the. Face screaming at fat.
- 9:44Freddy. Fat Freddy.
- 9:47With elbow. Hell yeah.
- 9:49Beau wasn't a little guy. No, Beau was a big old boy.
- 9:52Big old boy. Love boat of death, Love boat of
- 9:54death, you know, just kind of know, Freddy said.
- 9:56He had enough. Wow, I'm.
- 10:00Sorry for that crazy side note, but that just brought back
- 10:02flutter, right? Great point about a baseball
- 10:04game and how we roll. But well, I mean, you got to
- 10:09remember last year, the heckling that Bubba did was unmatched.
- 10:13Just got in that pitcher's head and all.
- 10:16Dude, it was so fun. That might have been where I
- 10:18fell in. Love it was Powers.
- 10:20Yes, it was. It really was.
- 10:22It really was. Man, sex with Kenny Powers and
- 10:24that's you see. That's exactly craziness.
- 10:28But yeah, man, so yes, so to answer your question, it was a
- 10:31suite out there and they had these big garage roll up doors.
- 10:33First we had them down because we're under a storm threat.
- 10:35And once they relieve the storm threat, when we were packed into
- 10:37this, you know, it's a nice area with a big, you know, horseshoe,
- 10:40a horse shade, a horseshoe shaped bar.
- 10:43That's kind of a tough tongue. Twist, I had to look OK, you
- 10:45know that tongue tone deck. And, and so in, so we're in
- 10:48there when they open it up, it becomes nice, but they cancel
- 10:50the game. But we still get the place from
- 10:52what, 6:30 to 8:00 or 8:30 or whatever it was like 830.
- 10:55So it's a good two hour hang out.
- 10:56It went by really fast 'cause you had, you know, there was
- 10:59free beer that had really good food there.
- 11:01Like so and all this bubble army and everybody mixing and
- 11:04mingling around. So dude, I was able to meet a
- 11:06lot of cool people. I'll get let me before we.
- 11:08I know I'm getting stretched out here.
- 11:10Well, we kind of, we may have to come back at this at the end
- 11:14'cause I know we'll need to let Mr. Shannon Burke go a little
- 11:17bit early 'cause he's going on Bubba necks, which everybody
- 11:21that's going to be a blast. I mean, we're cut.
- 11:24This is a hard stop tonight. We're cutting it at 8:00.
- 11:28Just like they're going to mute the mics.
- 11:30Bam, I'm cutting the damn ending the stream.
- 11:32I'm hitting in the stream at exactly 8:00 so I can go and
- 11:36watch Bubba and Shannon and all of them.
- 11:39Hard cut off. Hard cut off.
- 11:42Well, let's bring this man in here.
- 11:43He's, oh, he's already here. Yes, Sir.
- 11:45Yes, Sir. I think we'll, we're going to,
- 11:47we'll wrap. We'll wrap up the conclusion.
- 11:50Love that story here at the end and then sign it off.
- 11:54But ladies and gentlemen, without any further ado, Mr.
- 11:56Shannon Burke is in the house. How are you?
- 12:01Oh, dude. Well, brother.
- 12:04Good God, what a voice. Holy cow.
- 12:07Blasi and Bari fellas, how are you for having me?
- 12:12I appreciate it. Good man, man to meet.
- 12:14You brother, good to meet. You good to meet you dude.
- 12:16Thank you so much for hopping up and on.
- 12:19Oh, my pleasure, man. That's, you know, that's kind of
- 12:22what I do. You guys, you're not going to be
- 12:24hanging out for the debate. You're going to cut your, your,
- 12:27your, your feet and then go watch it yourselves.
- 12:29That's right. We're going to watch you and
- 12:31Bubba and watch that whole entire thing go damn while we're
- 12:35watching the debate. So I mean, that's how.
- 12:37How do you think? Like how's this going to go?
- 12:40What are y'all going to talk about?
- 12:43I don't know. I have a fear that you're going
- 12:47to see, so see it as instead of using the standard 7 second
- 12:52broadcast delay, they're using a 2 minute broadcast delay, which
- 12:56if you've got a hot editor board op in there, you can edit out a
- 13:00maybe there's some stutters and there's some stammers.
- 13:03I think that's completely unfair.
- 13:04Nobody is in the room, reporter wise, as far as I know, to
- 13:08record everything else that's important.
- 13:11Facial expressions physical movements things of that nature
- 13:15when they're not on camera when their mic is is shut down.
- 13:19I just fear that you know Trump's debating three people
- 13:23here really it's Dana Bash Tapper and and Biden and you
- 13:29know I mean you got Dana Bash ex-husband signed the the CIA
- 13:33letter of 51 intelligence agencies and the laptop is
- 13:36wrong. Jeremy Bash, you got both her
- 13:39and Tapper have called by the way.
- 13:41My levels OK, I feel like I'm on.
- 13:43Have You're a little hot? You're a little hot.
- 13:45I'll bring her down. How's that?
- 13:47Oh, that sounds good. I'm hot winded.
- 13:48Yeah, yeah. That's.
- 13:49Good have called them Nazis. I don't know.
- 13:51I'm interested. I feel there has to be some type
- 13:55of hinky stuff going down. We all know that Trump's going
- 14:00to be. I mean the bite is going to be
- 14:01drugged up. He had a kick ass and his and
- 14:05his and his and his pupils were dilated like the back of the day
- 14:08when I used to eat mushrooms. You know, you look at the moon.
- 14:10Oh yeah, dude, he's going to. He's his eyes, his, his pupils
- 14:13are going to be the size of a damn pin.
- 14:15A pin. A pin drop tonight, dude.
- 14:18The thing is, I think when people see a performance like
- 14:22the State of the Union, they're like, wow, OK, this guy might
- 14:23might not be a, you know, an octogenarian, an old fart that
- 14:27can't put two sentences together.
- 14:29He may be actually, you know, have it together.
- 14:33And then and maybe again that that fiery right wing MAGA
- 14:39people are destroying America. We had the red lights behind
- 14:41him. He looked like Hitler.
- 14:42He was fired up for that. But every single other
- 14:44appearance he's made, it's it's, it's exactly the opposite.
- 14:48So I think the rational people know that.
- 14:52I mean, there's some type of a performance enhancing drug, you
- 14:57know it. Has to be.
- 14:58There has to be. And I mean, look, I, I'm, I, I,
- 15:03there's just no doubt that the dude, you see him at campaign
- 15:06rallies or you see him somewhere else and then he, he's barely
- 15:09coherent at times it seems. And then, you know, the State of
- 15:13the Union, he was as sharp as he's been in the four years that
- 15:17he's been president, which I mean, for the country as a
- 15:21whole, at least he looked a little bit better there.
- 15:25I, I think that he'll look a little bit better there tonight,
- 15:28drugs or whatever. But, you know, but he, I don't
- 15:31think he can hold his own here tonight.
- 15:33Shannon, do you think he has AI? Think with some help of the
- 15:38other two people that are that are he's that Trump is debating.
- 15:40I think he the he'll, you know, the conversation is, I'm
- 15:44wondering what's going to happen while the guy's mic is cut.
- 15:46If his mic is cut, is the camera still on him?
- 15:49You know that. Are they going to try to keep
- 15:51you from noticing Trump's facial expressions, which, by the way,
- 15:54have been the highlight of so many, but probably his face
- 15:58alone during the Clinton and the Biden, I think they were
- 16:02wonderful. Yeah.
- 16:03And is Joe, is Joe nodding off for that two-minute delay going
- 16:06to give them time to nudge him up?
- 16:08Do they have a shock shock collar on his on his right
- 16:10thigh? I.
- 16:10Mean here's the thing. That minute delay, I can't
- 16:13believe that man. Like the long today and I wasn't
- 16:15sure I believed it. That's unbelievable if it's.
- 16:17True shock caller. He's got a shock 2 minute.
- 16:22Got a 2 minute? Delay that wouldn't that would
- 16:23blow my mind. Maybe he's a kinky son of a
- 16:25bitch, who knows? The longest speech he's given in
- 16:29the last year without, you know, the State of the Union have been
- 16:35was 33 minutes on the campaign trail to some union people in
- 16:40Pennsylvania, 33 minutes. That's the longest.
- 16:43The average campaign speech he's done is 2324 minutes.
- 16:46I mean, and you got 90, you know what's with the?
- 16:50Commercial breaks, Yeah. Why?
- 16:52Why do commercials? Who benefits from that?
- 16:55I mean, that's the only CNN benefits from that.
- 16:59I'm sure they'll be some money in there, some, you know.
- 17:01Oh, you think? You think it'll be some
- 17:04pharmaceutical companies? You know, but this will be the
- 17:08most watched presidential debate, I think in, in, in, in
- 17:11recent history, I believe. I mean, I would think this is
- 17:15probably this would be one of the one of the largest watched
- 17:18events in the history of the world potentially.
- 17:21I mean, I don't. Super Bowl type of deal.
- 17:23I I think it could be. I think it's bigger than the
- 17:25Super Bowl because everybody's engaged.
- 17:27It's the most constant election in this country and I in my
- 17:31lifetime and with all of the, you know, the introduction of
- 17:36there now there's something called misinformation and
- 17:38disinformation. We learned about it when Trump
- 17:40became president. We never, the entire history of
- 17:42the country, we never even knew what the term misinformation or
- 17:45disinformation was. And and now it's we have to
- 17:48protect everybody against it. We're in a different time now
- 17:51where the president can say, I want to forgive student debt and
- 17:53they and someone challenges it. They go to the Supreme Court.
- 17:56Supreme Court says you can't do that.
- 17:58You don't have the power to do that.
- 17:59He goes, well, guess what, I'm going to do it anyway.
- 18:01And then around and say, hey, nobody's above the law.
- 18:04We're weird. I mean, you get the feeling.
- 18:06I mean, I get the feeling this is the weirdest time and and
- 18:10and. It's weird and.
- 18:11Then it could be like the moving to the end of the of the normal
- 18:15America we know. Yeah.
- 18:17It's Rome and four. It's Rome.
- 18:18After 400 years, we're pushing on five.
- 18:20Yeah, and I, and I'll say this, I've never felt like and and I'm
- 18:23not, I've always been more of a centrist like in Florida.
- 18:26I've been a registered independent for 20 plus years
- 18:28here. And so, but right now I've never
- 18:30felt like more in an election depends on do you want to vote
- 18:33to be an American or do you want to vote for something else?
- 18:36You know, and it's and that's all it feels like to me.
- 18:38And it's like it's not even about politics or, you know,
- 18:41right or left or, you know, liberal or a little bit more
- 18:43conservative. Dude, this is like an American
- 18:45vote or a non American vote. I hate to say it that way, but
- 18:47it really is that's I agree. I'm starting to feel about it.
- 18:49I'd agree with that. Yeah, I, I totally do.
- 18:53I hope that issues come up and it's not interruptions and
- 18:57things like that. I think that maybe the muted
- 18:59mikes could help with some of that, but I really hope that
- 19:02there's a an actual discussion about the things that are
- 19:05happening in America, because if that happens, I think that some
- 19:09some things will be laid out. There will be.
- 19:12I think that can only really benefit the Trump campaign if
- 19:16that if if it can go in that just that direction and not be
- 19:19disrupted the. Presidential Debate Commission,
- 19:22which has been around some 45 years, that that sets the
- 19:25debates up and, and, and sets the rules up.
- 19:27We're appalled by these rules. They weren't involved at all.
- 19:30They were not even consulted. They've got 3 debates planned
- 19:35themselves, which neither the Trump campaign or the Biden
- 19:38campaign have said anything about yet.
- 19:40The only two debates are scheduled in major on major
- 19:43networks, CNN and ABC. And you know, it's, that's UN
- 19:49American to me. And it's also what American that
- 19:51the fact that they'll be a muted mic on either side depending on
- 19:54who's talking. They can't talk to each other,
- 19:57you know. Right.
- 19:57Yeah, that. To me is disturbing it looks
- 20:00like. The the fix is in.
- 20:02We'll see you tonight and I, and I'm afraid we'll see that early
- 20:05on, but. I mean, you got to think too at
- 20:07some point though, try. I mean, they're eight feet
- 20:09apart. That's not that far.
- 20:13You can hear him and I don't know if they're going to have,
- 20:15you know, ear pieces in or or what.
- 20:18I guess they would. So maybe you can't hear as well
- 20:20why it's going to. Have one in it's surgically
- 20:22implanted deep in his ear that you can't see.
- 20:24That's a different story altogether.
- 20:26That earlobe changing in a different direction.
- 20:28What's going on Earlobe? It's really actually Biden
- 20:31that's a whole nother. Deal not even beat him.
- 20:33Yeah, remember the first CNN, a town hall, I think for 2020.
- 20:38And it was clearly so obvious that he had something in his ear
- 20:41and the way he was speaking like what the what's going on here?
- 20:45And then they got to be. I'm not trying to say that, you
- 20:47know, there's a surgically implanted ear listening device,
- 20:50which seven days that he's been in Delaware would have been long
- 20:53enough time to heal the surgical scars, but.
- 20:58Just possibly, you know, I mean, don't throw it out just.
- 21:02On the show, this is Shannon Burke, legendary Florida Man
- 21:05radio host. Yes and yes.
- 21:07A a Big Tex AKA you know, King of Texas, right?
- 21:10Here at you guys. Talking, I've been listening
- 21:12when you said that there's you have everyone has a Bubba Army
- 21:16name, you know, and it just which is so true.
- 21:20Mighty's Big Tex or thee Shannon Burke, one or the other.
- 21:24It's very interesting. And I also heard some casual use
- 21:28of Bubba lingo, which, you know, if you looked at people in the
- 21:32bubble army, they they, you know, is this a work?
- 21:35Is it a, you know, they, it's a work is a shoot.
- 21:39And the normal guy that might be driving him to tell him never
- 21:42heard it before. It's just a work or a shoot.
- 21:47But you know, that's the genius of sponge is that he, you know,
- 21:52he's embedded these things into our minds and other thing
- 21:56they're used in, you know, everyday conversation, which is
- 21:58pretty pretty, you know, pretty damn.
- 22:01No doubt, no doubt. But I mean, we, you got to have
- 22:05a little bit of real heat here though, Shannon, because I mean,
- 22:10I mean, yeah, I mean, you can see we're all decked to the
- 22:13nines. And I mean, I, I didn't know I
- 22:15had to back, back out, I mean. Right now.
- 22:20But you know, I don't. And I think that's unfortunate,
- 22:24frankly, that's true. Now I think, I think what it is,
- 22:26it's more. Of a fact that you're.
- 22:28Shitting me two exes. They think I'm a fat ass, so
- 22:30I'm. Getting the right side there it.
- 22:33Is you got merge not getting merge.
- 22:35People still behind Whoops my. My.
- 22:38Well, you do. Yeah, you do have those.
- 22:40You have several of those, don't you?
- 22:42I do believe that I've seen behind you I display a ringer.
- 22:47Quite probably. Only a ringer.
- 22:49Hell yes. I I love them.
- 22:51I think they're great and I'm proud of them.
- 22:53Hell yeah as you should be. Look everybody, y'all like this
- 22:57right now. Share it, let everybody knows
- 22:59Big Shannon's on here with us for the next few minutes, for a
- 23:03little while doing this pre debate game show and then going
- 23:07right on end to Bubba. So y'all y'all share the same.
- 23:09Expect. Well, I kind of know what to
- 23:11expect. I've worked with a guy for a
- 23:12long time. That's late.
- 23:15For him, isn't it? I mean, is he going to be OK to
- 23:18do this? I don't know.
- 23:19I have, I wanted, we had a, a afternoon conversation yesterday
- 23:24around 4:30 to 5:30 or 6, back and forth, all the texts and
- 23:29then we talked for a long time on the phone.
- 23:31I'm like, OK, it's good. I didn't say anything about it.
- 23:33But then today I needed to reach out to someone over there at the
- 23:38BRN. I, you know, I wasn't sure about
- 23:39the link and things we needed. The only guy that would that
- 23:42would answer was, of course, Lummy.
- 23:44So yeah, I'd imagine that Bubba had been stretched out most of
- 23:48the afternoon. I'm drinking coffee with the
- 23:49little Jameson back here just to get my game in here.
- 23:52There you go on this. Podcast.
- 23:55How often do you do it? I've heard a number of them.
- 23:57They're they're really great. It's it's great conversational
- 24:01content that you guys bring. Well, give me the where are you,
- 24:06by the way? You said it was an hour earlier
- 24:08where you are, Barney. Yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm actually in
- 24:12Lafayette, LA tonight, coming to you from a hotel right across
- 24:16the street from the Cajun Dome. I wanted to have it in the
- 24:19backdrop. I have such a nice picture, but
- 24:21it just didn't work out. It just so y'all are stuck with
- 24:25it. I'm on the road traveling.
- 24:27Yeah, and but wait. But typically I come come from

- 24:38from props. Where we do usually comes from
- 24:41our lives. And what do you got, some bar or
- 24:43something like that? Yeah, there's a.
- 24:44Brewery in my neighborhood, literally in my neighborhood.

- 24:48But they let me come in here and kind of the brew room, there's
- 24:50glass behind me. They're doing karaoke night
- 24:52tonight in there. Oh, it's got a great backdrop.
- 24:54So this is, I have, I mean, full access.
- 24:56I have my own little studio behind the house, but I like to
- 24:58come here on these live streams. Just yeah, that's pretty cool.

- 25:46what. Roles Did Jr. bring the group
- 25:48together? What's your connection?
- 25:49No, they was. This was Tig's corn dog Barney,
- 25:53originally Tig's, but he's not corn bar.
- 25:55Dog Barney Tig is Barney. Yes, it's just part of the
- 25:59dynamics. Now that on Friday.
- 26:01Yeah, and we don't know if we don't know if if Barney's going
- 26:04to be a heel or a babyface. I kind of feel he may be a heel
- 26:07tonight. He's neutral, but we'll see.
- 26:13And I'm, I'm a, I'm a manager for, for the highest bidder as
- 26:16far as the wrestling Carney world.
- 26:18And in my real job, though, I work in the world of country
- 26:20music, but no Corndog Barney started this podcast as Tigbits
- 26:23and it was a great show. Blasi and I were fraternity
- 26:26brothers at Troy State many, many moons ago.
- 26:28And we've always stayed in touch.
- 26:30And he was telling me I've got and because I was doing a
- 26:32podcast with the country music artist I work for during the
- 26:35pandemic and all my buddies were checking that out.
- 26:38And Blasi was like, hey, I got this buddy Tigs.
- 26:40I think he'd love what he's doing on his show.
- 26:42So he sent me the link. It was it was cool.
- 26:44Just different variety of guests and stuff.
- 26:46I really love that. And then Blasi was on the show,
- 26:49the Florida Man episode. So I watched that.
- 26:52They invited me to come on as a guest.
- 26:54I had so much fun. I said, well, if you guys ever
- 26:56need me again, let me know. They called me two days later
- 26:58and said, hey, what you got going four days a week for the
- 27:00rest of your life and. Accurate.
- 27:06Are you not doing much, dude? You're just producing a major
- 27:09country tour act across the country.
- 27:11I mean, you could just hop on at any damn point in time and do a
- 27:15a fucking podcast with us, right, bro?
- 27:17And now he's like, yeah, yeah, no, but you.
- 27:19Do four shows a week. No, we don't do 4A week, but it
- 27:22kind of we we have for the last month because we we have ATV we
- 27:27have ATV show coming out. Yes, I am Ian Tiggs frankly Jr.
- 27:33but we we have ATV show coming out starting on right now TV
- 27:38starting next week actually starting on the on July 3rd.
- 27:41We what are. You talking about here?
- 27:45So yeah, go blasey. This is what it's television.
- 27:50All right, so right now television.com you you can go to
- 27:54right now TVI think it's right now television, which is right
- 27:57now TV and it's actually television for me.
- 27:58And they're only 30 different markets around the country.
- 28:01So they got 30 different stations around the country and,
- 28:04and it's they came to us. Actually, it's odd as it is a
- 28:08guy that lives eight houses down for me onto the station.
- 28:12And then so we just started talking.
- 28:13I was saying he was telling, I was telling about what we were
- 28:15doing. And I was like, dude, the
- 28:16timing, it's beautiful. So we're going to start doing a
- 28:19TV show, taking some of our shows because we we'll have
- 28:22guests on sometimes we'll do these live streams, sometimes
- 28:25we'll do the podcast for Bubba sometimes.
- 28:27So we do two or three different shows a week.
- 28:28So we'll take that content and then we're going to move that
- 28:30over into, you know, into ATV show.
- 28:33It'll be a 42 to 44 minute TV show with commercials in there
- 28:36inserted and it's kind. Of the basic this breakdown
- 28:40here, you're going to have like a set where a Blasi's behind a
- 28:42desk and you clowns are on the couch over.
- 28:44There. No, no, it's still going to be
- 28:47this same setup for now. For now, yeah, we'll.
- 28:49Have guests for each of. The Yeah, the.
- 28:51Television. Show episodes more of an
- 28:53interview kind of a deal I. Love that because if you look
- 28:59around of all the news producers, wherever you get your
- 29:04news, ABCCBS, legacy media, blah, blah, blah.
- 29:06The real news is, which is the more threatening news is guys
- 29:10like us that are, that are citizen journalists or citizen,
- 29:13you know, we're just people with a voice and a vehicle to, to get
- 29:18to people's ears and, and, and you'll often hear stuff you'll
- 29:22never ever hear in legacy media. You won't hear topics, you won't
- 29:26hear, you know, and, and the, the suits at all of these major
- 29:32news leaders are, are shaking in their boots because you look at
- 29:35Tucker and Alex and and and everyone else out there, that's
- 29:39that's making it dead. It's a big threat to them.
- 29:41They don't like they don't like you listening to the the you
- 29:45know, the legacy media doesn't like you.
- 29:46I. Don't want you.
- 29:47No, they don't want you to be watching Tucker Carlson.
- 29:50But millions and millions are doing it every week, you know,
- 29:54like. The agenda when it's in our.
- 29:55Hands when it's in people's. Hands right, navigating away
- 29:59from that. I don't care if you're on the
- 30:00left or the right, if you're, if you're just like a free thinker,
- 30:02like get away from what this mainstream media is telling you,
- 30:05it's just doing your. I agree.
- 30:06How many movies like 1984 do we have to watch to know?
- 30:09Our own research. Laughed at us.
- 30:11Dude, that's what you're supposed to do.
- 30:12You're supposed to look out for yourself.
- 30:13You're supposed to give that information.
- 30:15I give that book to every. Liberal, I know every Christmas
- 30:18I'm not here. Get caught up.
- 30:20But but Shannon, hey, listen, I know you just went to a
- 30:24transition here, man. God, I hated to hear that with
- 30:26the Florida Man radio thing. And I know you've been talking
- 30:28about that forever. So I don't want to get you pound
- 30:31on that. No, I mean because, because I
- 30:33had you on one O 3.1 here and every day I listen to you
- 30:36because in the mornings I'd be listening to Bubba at home, like
- 30:38on YouTube and I'd get out and be working and driving on One O
- 30:413.1. It would run from here.
- 30:42I'm in Freeport, FL all the way over to Pensacola, FL past
- 30:46Panama City Beach and love listening to you.
- 30:48Love listening to Don Miller. Man, I just hated that kind.
- 30:52Of spectacular. Yeah, man, unbelieving.
- 30:54We haven't heard the last, even though Don and I have been in
- 30:57each other's worlds for probably 20 years in the city and our
- 31:02broadcast paths have crossed. He's a genuine talent, as I
- 31:05think everyone sees. So you haven't heard the last
- 31:08from him. And they're, you know, obviously
- 31:12the people in the Panhandle are, you know, a little bent, but
- 31:15they don't have a Florida Man radio, the same Florida Man
- 31:17Radio to go to. So I don't know who knows what
- 31:20happened. Radio's weird.
- 31:22I've lost three jobs due to sales with a company I worked
- 31:26for, sold to somebody else and it was Mexicans and Jesus,
- 31:30pretty much they messed my whole career.
- 31:34I worked for KJFK in Austin, TX, sold to a Hispanic station.
- 31:39I, I came on right after Howard the day his contract expired.
- 31:42We were, we went Hispanic then in Atlanta, we at least we got a
- 31:47little bit of notice there. We were bought out by, you know,
- 31:49Cumulus came out of bankruptcy and they had, they needed money
- 31:52and they sold some very big sticks, very heritage sticks in
- 31:56major markets in New York City and and Atlanta.
- 31:58So I lost that kick and then now boom, Hispanics got me again.
- 32:02Man. That's good food.
- 32:06I don't know what the problem. Is I think you have to start to
- 32:08speak Spanish, Shannon. I mean, maybe that's the
- 32:10problem. My dad told me that years ago
- 32:14and I was like, it's time to time to hit that phonics,
- 32:18whatever it is, what let's say Rosetta Stone, that's it, That's
- 32:21Rosetta Stone. That's.
- 32:23Exactly what you guys ever worked in broadcast radio?
- 32:25Any of you? Brantley has.
- 32:27I have, I've, I've done a sports talk radio show on ESPN Radio in
- 32:32Baton Rouge for, for about a year or so and worked on a local
- 32:36AM station, did some stuff like that, did a little sports talk
- 32:39radio right. You got to have say, obviously
- 32:42you guys have a, a, a some type of talent.
- 32:44It wouldn't be I. Think I'm well, I mean it just
- 32:50seems to have worked out, you know, blame Blasey and I cut up
- 32:54from like the second or third episode that we ever did.
- 32:56And if you guys that are are new here in the chat, y'all y'all go
- 33:00check it out. Go go check out some of the
- 33:03season one episodes, especially like Florida man that's one.
- 33:06I mean, I still think that's probably my favorite episode
- 33:09that we ever did. It was, it was like the second
- 33:13or third one. What was that before?
- 33:15What? What was the timeline here?
- 33:16Was it around the time? It was 2022, wasn't it, placey
- 33:21or 2020? Yeah, 2022 is when we started.
- 33:24Yeah, you're right. It was.
- 33:25Yeah, it was early on, but that was just.
- 33:29Poems and nothing else. No, Mike.
- 33:30And then just, we just started having a conversation.
- 33:33That's it, dude. I was, it felt like a childhood
- 33:36dream come true because I was a kid.
- 33:37I used to have a tape, like a regular tape recorder, you know
- 33:39what I mean? We had it play and record at the
- 33:41same time. And I would hit that and I would
- 33:43be like, I love Johnny Carson at the time.
- 33:45And I would actually play like I was Johnny Carson.
- 33:48And I would interview guests and I would be the guest and I would
- 33:51interview myself like John Cougar Mellencamp, you know what
- 33:52I mean? We'd go back and forth, dude,
- 33:54And he'd return to this little comedy bit.
- 33:55And dude, I I can't find those tapes and I used.
- 33:57To kind of a Phil Henry bit before Phil Henry was cool.
- 34:00That's exactly what it was like and that's exactly what I would
- 34:02do. And I was kind of impressed.
- 34:03Like as I got older, I was like, how did I do that?
- 34:05You know, after around college, I've been drinking a little bit.
- 34:07You. Listened to it again.
- 34:08You thought you were good because everything I listened to
- 34:11my old stuff, I'm like. Wow, How?
- 34:12How would I? Possibly have a career in this
- 34:15business I had. I thank God I forgot to take him
- 34:17to the house. I moved out of Austin 2324 years
- 34:20ago. A couple of giant back in the
- 34:22day, it was cassette tapes, believe it or not, in the mid
- 34:2690s. That's why how I got my stuff.
- 34:29And they're all labeled very carefully and they're all in the
- 34:32box. And I was like, screw it.
- 34:36Wealth of bad radio in an attic in a house in Austin, TX at 45th
- 34:39and North Lamar. We got to go.
- 34:43Yeah, for that we can. Find gold here, you know.
- 34:46Embarrassed. And Jay Harvey, he's just a
- 34:49natural. I mean, he was doing a podcast
- 34:51with. Yeah, already doing one.
- 34:54Yeah, so he he already had the set up.
- 34:55He was just looking for somebody to listen to him to talk.
- 34:57So. But but all you guys have real
- 34:59jobs, right? You're not like we're the
- 35:01podcasters. And I mean, because a lot of
- 35:03guys there are people that did live make a living in their
- 35:06podcast. They, you know, I'm not talking
- 35:09to the Adam Corollas with the but they, you know, or the Joe
- 35:11Rogans. But you know, there's a bunch of
- 35:12people that don't have half or 1/4 of the audience they have
- 35:17and they're, they're podcast crazy making money making, you
- 35:21know, it's the only thing they do.
- 35:23Yeah, and I mean. If we did that, watch this, the
- 35:26lights would go out here like, yeah, yeah, no, this for the
- 35:30money. No.
- 35:31We all have different jobs. I mean, eventually would it be
- 35:33great to get there? Absolutely.
- 35:35But. No, I mean, we would love for
- 35:36this to take off and it just become a full time kind of fun
- 35:40or side deal that make, you know that's extremely profitable.
- 35:44Hell yeah. We never going to say no to
- 35:46that. But no, it all really started
- 35:49with just dudes wanting to sit around bullshit a little bit.
- 35:53Just entertain some folks. Y'all come on in.
- 35:55We're sitting at a bar, you'll come join us.

- 36:06these others except for the Rogans and the Adam Crawls and
- 36:10those guys the real the podcasts that are super successful right
- 36:16now with the buzz are so dialed in into their audience like it's
- 36:21a crime something or other story or.
- 36:24Yeah, yeah. Yeah, a lot of true crime.
- 36:27Wrestling lots. Of wrestling right?
- 36:30Guy has a podcast about insects and shit like that.
- 36:34I mean. It's very niche, but.
- 36:37For me, I'm not really that, you know what I mean?
- 36:40I'm sure you guys are the same way.
- 36:41You have a whole breadth of experience and you're, you know,
- 36:43you live a whole, you know, there's a lot of things going on
- 36:45in your life and you're not just about praying mantises and shit
- 36:48like that. Right, exactly.
- 36:50That's the problem. Yeah, some days it's aliens,
- 36:52some days it's BBQ. You know, just whatever,
- 36:55whatever. 'S happening, yeah.
- 36:56We just kind of roll with the fluff.
- 36:57Sharks. Sharks was a big thing for us,
- 36:59you know. Yeah, after.
- 37:03After you know, we got 3 or 400,000 views on something I.
- 37:06Guess and thanks to our boy Fontaine, who is in the chat
- 37:09tonight. Where do I get this?
- 37:11Chat actually I got to sign up for something.
- 37:13I don't want to give a credit. Card.
- 37:14Yeah, it's, you know, you don't have to say it's not just
- 37:17looking. There at the chat, we've got a
- 37:19ton of comments in the chat, so thanks everybody for.
- 37:21Chatting, yes. I just said hello, maybe people.
- 37:24How do I see everyone OK comments?
- 37:27Tons. There's a lot of you in there.
- 37:29There's a lot of y'all watching, man.
- 37:30We appreciate all of you. All of you really do.
- 37:33Don't forget to hit the like button.
- 37:35I got to throw that out there. Hit that like button.
- 37:38Subscribe if you haven't, share it.
- 37:40Do all of those things. Man.
- 37:42We're really having fun. This thing's growing, Shannon.
- 37:44It's nuts. It's crazy.
- 37:47You have, whether I'm sure it was organic, the connection you
- 37:52have with Sponge and his crew. And I, I, I kind of was aware of
- 37:57how it grew and it was organic. But let me tell you this, when
- 38:01you get Sponge, I mean I when I started working for Obama in
- 38:07Tampa, I was on radio IO for a while and then I went when
- 38:12Hatley left to go to Stern. I sat in Hatleys chair for I
- 38:16think three years or something like that.
- 38:17Just as a Co host, which is great work, very easy.
- 38:20You just make fun of Bob all day and fuck with him.
- 38:23And I did the IO show afterwards.
- 38:25But once you are on his coattails, once you are attached
- 38:30to his audience, and once they begin to love you, Bubba loves
- 38:34you. You bring people because he
- 38:36brought, you know, stern listers to himself in droves.
- 38:41And in part when I went to work for him, I, you know, I have
- 38:45listeners all over the world, but I got a ton of Bubba listers
- 38:48and and they're very loyal people.
- 38:50And as long as you're both good side.
- 38:55That's the thing. We know that and we've talked
- 38:58about that in some of our shows. This whole, this whole house
- 39:01could collapse at any moment. But we sure hope not.
- 39:05I don't think it will. I don't.
- 39:06Warn I know how to navigate these waters and you know I know
- 39:09there's and it's like they were asking me on the show like where
- 39:11I want you more this more that I'm like no more more could be
- 39:14worse with Bubba like I ain't trying to big boy this show and
- 39:16I said Bubba just turned on me and then the amount I'm getting
- 39:19ran out of there. You know, Lummy's got me in some
- 39:21kind of crazy, you know, Huckle, huckle buckle, move or
- 39:24something, throwing me out the front door.
- 39:25It's like. I mean, he is.
- 39:29The good thing about him is he is a fan of broadcasters and
- 39:34content providers, whoever they may be.
- 39:37He respects the hustle. He's certainly one of the best
- 39:39in the business about it and it it's a very, you got guys have a
- 39:45very symbiotic and, and and and beneficial relationship with
- 39:48each other, which I encourage and.
- 39:52Thank you, thank you, thank you, dude.
- 39:54Thank you so much. Like you said, even for even
- 39:58from the, the, the time that since Blasey announced that his
- 40:01professed his love for Bubba and his show a few months ago and
- 40:05that's how they found out about us.
- 40:07And he's like, like play it back play where they talk about me.
- 40:10And then so, but since then, I agree with you, Shannon, the
- 40:15people I've talked to and and been involved with from the
- 40:19Bubba Army that are that are commenting on our show and being
- 40:21involved with our. Show are just good old people
- 40:23and it reminds me of the people I meet on the road doing country
- 40:26music at a State Fair somewhere or at a Amphitheatre somewhere.
- 40:30It's just good old normal American people.
- 40:32And going back to what you said earlier about about mainstream
- 40:35media, you'll watch something on a morning show or an evening
- 40:38show or tonight. I don't even watch the the the
- 40:40late night talk show anymore because it's all just so, so
- 40:44driven. It's so that you can't get
- 40:45through the monologue without like, good Lord, can we?
- 40:47Write some jokes. But you never hear anybody talk
- 40:49like, well, that's what how me and my friends and our wives
- 40:52talk when we're at dinner. It's always like who talk?
- 40:54Who is thinking, Who are these people?
- 40:55They're thinking act and talk about these stuff Because
- 40:57that's, I don't know anyone who thinks that way, you know?
- 41:00So but with the Bubba Army, I feel like it's, it's like minded
- 41:05people, even though we're all different places, all different
- 41:07size, shapes, colors, denominations, all that good
- 41:09stuff. It's just like Blasi said, just
- 41:11common sense. People that want America to
- 41:12succeed. Yeah, have a good time along the
- 41:15way, you know that's. It, it's a family, man.
- 41:17It really feels like a family. We've been welcomed in, you
- 41:20know, as kind of outsiders and starting to really feel, I feel
- 41:25welcome. I don't feel like an outsider
- 41:27anymore and just like feel the love man What?
- 41:30Are you guys planning to make the trip to the BRN?
- 41:33Dude, I went Friday, Shannon. I was.
- 41:35You did? Yeah, it was in there for.
- 41:37The last hour. Isn't it awesome?
- 41:39Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
- 41:40Then again, I was a little bit surreal.
- 41:42Let me get a shot of Alpha. I'm sorry, hold on.
- 41:47But hey, folks, if you're just joining got nothing, I don't
- 41:51have this you. Don't have alpha, I know I got.
- 41:53Nothing. I got some money.
- 41:55You think you're going to. I think you're about to talk to
- 41:59Bobby. Yeah, I think we're.
- 42:04We're going to. We're going to have to fix this.
- 42:06We're going to have to fix this. Hey, if you're just joining us,
- 42:08we've got Shannon Burke, the legendary Florida radio host.
- 42:12I mean, this guy is a absolute legend.
- 42:14Big Tex. He's been all over right now.
- 42:17If you want to catch him, you can catch him at the Shannon
- 42:20Burke show on Patreon. That's where you can find him
- 42:22right now, man. And here he is with us today.
- 42:25I mean, we're so blessed. I I couldn't believe you said
- 42:27that last night. You're going to join our show.
- 42:29And I felt just like. I'm kidding the Shannon.
- 42:31Burke is coming on here. I love Shannon Burke, you know?
- 42:33I wonder the hell yes. And he is, you know.
- 42:37I know. Yeah, dude, it's time.
- 42:40It's time. Hell yeah, man.
- 42:42So what? What do you think?
- 42:45What do you think's going to happen tonight, Shando?
- 42:47We're getting. I know we're going to cut you
- 42:49loose here in a minute so you can get get prepared to jump
- 42:52into the Bubba show here in a minute, but what?
- 42:55Coffee and another shot of Javis's.
- 42:56I'll be ready. That's all you need.
- 42:58That's it. Get it.
- 42:59Get kind of get that fired up. Yeah, you're right.
- 43:03I should. I haven't fired it up in a
- 43:04while. I think two things, one or two
- 43:06things is going to happen. We're going to we're going to
- 43:08watch it and say, OK, that was a semi normal debate with some few
- 43:14rules thrown in and out. It was either better or worse
- 43:17than every other debate we've seen or we're going to witness
- 43:21one of the greatest theatrical manipulations we've ever seen in
- 43:29political theater. One or the other.
- 43:32But no doubt about it, Biden fails tonight.
- 43:33He's got a senior moment, which they may be able to scrub it in
- 43:36that two-minute. I'm worried that Trump doesn't
- 43:38have his own, you know, normally when he does the interviews,
- 43:41he's like, OK, I'll do the interview, but I want to have,
- 43:43you know, my own people there, But you know, and he has his own
- 43:45clue there. So everyone the shit they edit
- 43:47out here, you know, you said this or whatever.
- 43:50I would hope that, but there's no that doesn't see, you know,
- 43:52there's any any Ave. for that. No one's allowed in the room.
- 43:57I mean, that's what I'm afraid of.
- 44:00Yeah, Yeah. I I think and probably the
- 44:03biggest question, most important question through this tonight is
- 44:08and Bubba Fan, 69 asked what's going to happen between you and
- 44:11babyface? I I like the the interaction
- 44:18between me and babyface. I mean he isn't very much a
- 44:21liberal dude and you know, he gets the memo and marches with
- 44:25the whatever the words are blah blah blah.
- 44:29End of the day if you ask babyface if his if his life was
- 44:32better pre pandemic Trump or now he would obviously agree with
- 44:37everyone else. It's a pre pandemic Trump.
- 44:40And don't forget Doctor Danzers, he says.
- 44:43I mean this, Shannon, this could be, This is why I want to watch.
- 44:46It's going to be interesting. I'm going to have y'all on while
- 44:49I'm watching the debate. I just don't see how this cannot
- 44:52be an entertaining night for everybody.
- 44:56He's a brilliant, brilliant guy. Far, far way more smarter.
- 45:00Smarter than anyone in this room will be tonight.
- 45:03A great Oh yeah. And yeah, I'm really looking
- 45:06forward to it. I don't know exactly what to
- 45:07expect, but it should be a lot of fun.
- 45:10I think it's going to be man, can't wait to watch it, dude.
- 45:12And and really appreciate you coming on.
- 45:15We do want to have you back on with an official sit down
- 45:19podcast visit, talk about your career and all of that stuff.
- 45:23So we can put that on our TV show if you'd be willing to do
- 45:26that. Absolutely.
- 45:28You name it. I mean, it's, I'll make the time
- 45:30and I've, I've got the studio here at the house, so you let me
- 45:33know and I'm in. That's why you're the man, dude.
- 45:35That's why you're the man. Well, everybody go check him
- 45:37out. Thank you so much for coming on
- 45:40and, and, and we'll see. We'll be watching you shortly.

- 46:05Brooke Burke at first. I'm like, he did send that to us
- 46:09in the text and it's like. The radio guy from Florida, I'm
- 46:13like, OK, I've heard some stories.

- 46:19He's right up our alley. Great guy.
- 46:21Oh yeah, dude, yeah, he's fantastic.
- 46:23And and hey, he I think he's I think that was a good warm up

- 46:30and all this dude is about to he's going to hit a whole
- 46:33another level here in a minute. This was that's exactly right.
- 46:38Yeah. Let me go warm up.
- 46:39Let me stretch a little bit. That's what just happened.
- 46:42Toss. Oh yeah.
- 46:43Hey. Greeley practices Carney talk a
- 46:45little for when he got gets in the big room with Bubba.
- 46:48That's exactly right. What a great game, Shannon.
- 46:50Yeah, thanks again, buddy, for coming on.
- 46:51If you're still listening, I'm sure you're not anymore, but
- 46:54thank you for coming on. That was great.
- 46:55I know the I know the fans loved it.
- 46:58I'm I'm looking. Through the they did.
- 46:59Dude, this is crazy y'all. I'm sorry.
- 47:02I want to apologize. I'm generally pretty good about
- 47:04keeping up with the chat and highlighting y'all, but it is
- 47:07going so damn fast tonight. I can't and it's amazing.
- 47:11I love this unbelievable. Thank you.
- 47:14Thank all of you. One day like so y'all go check
- 47:17him out his Patreon page. I'm actually a member there
- 47:19because I enjoyed him on one of 3.1 so much.
- 47:22I was like, you got to be kidding me.
- 47:23I'm going to hop on the Patreon page to keep the Shannon Burke
- 47:25train rolling. And Dude Jr. if you listen to
- 47:29this guy talk, I mean I, I mean this like you would think you're
- 47:32listening to some really nationally syndicated like talk
- 47:35show. He goes through stories, you
- 47:36know, different topics and different articles and stuff and
- 47:39breaks it down. But it's so fun and so cool and
- 47:41the way he does it, what's so here's a gift that he has.
- 47:44And I'm, I was trying to think, what is it about him that's so
- 47:48cool? It's his delivery and he's so
- 47:51believable. It sounds like bullshit, like
- 47:52you know what I mean? It's like this can't be true.
- 47:55But then you realize what he is telling you is actually it's
- 47:57true. You know what I mean?
- 47:58Like you just he's a believable guy in his opinion.
- 48:00It's like you feel like that makes sense.
- 48:01You know what I mean? It's like it's such a good
- 48:03storyteller, really good at like breaking things down.
- 48:06I mean, very enjoyable. I'm, I'm totally engaged.
- 48:09I'm driving back to Pensacola, back over here from work, but
- 48:12I'm dialed into that show. You know, I kind of start
- 48:13slowing down on my journey back home to make sure I can finish
- 48:16the show. Get the whole show in.
- 48:18Yeah, he, he's that good. He he, he really is a talent
- 48:21and. Then dude, that voice, he's he's
- 48:23great man. Like immediately when it comes
- 48:26in, it's like, holy shit, this guy is this is a real dude.
- 48:30You think Blasey has a great voice and he does.
- 48:32Side note, Blasey, we do need to talk about Gary Cantrell.
- 48:35He's if he's still in the chat being you need to talk about
- 48:39some things. He and I talked about in some
- 48:41side text for you with your beautiful beautiful voice.
- 48:45But man, between you 2. Yeah, and he put the show and he
- 48:49put us over, too. He put us.
- 48:50Over he likes. What we're doing get positive
- 48:53feedback and basically and further embraced and invited us
- 48:56into the Bubba Army, fully into the fold.
- 48:59He is it just. It's that simple.
- 49:01He is. It's a guy's guy.
- 49:02He gets it. You know what?
- 49:03I. Mean but he bought he brought us
- 49:05over. Unlike Blasey in studio last
- 49:08week at Bubba. So let's, let's get back to
- 49:11that. We've got 11 minutes left
- 49:13because we're hard cut the game. Yes, Get back into the game
- 49:17here, Blasey. OK, so let me get back into the
- 49:20game. I'm going to tell you.
- 49:21I'm going to tell you what I've saved kind of I'm on all right
- 49:25at the game itself. So I haven't met Tuttle and I
- 49:28hadn't met Colton yet. I did miss a few people.
- 49:30Let me talk about that. I missed Heather Wiz.
- 49:33I I saw her. She had Wiz, you know, walking
- 49:35around. But dude.
- 49:36Great marketing today for her for the podcast they're on.
- 49:40Yes dude, what a good. Podcast.

- 49:50So go check, go check them out. Dark match.

- 49:56him. His work is so good that his
- 49:57songs are so funny. And dude Dan, dude Dan, Doctor
- 50:01Dan. It's like a he's some sort of a
- 50:03escape artist, you know, Like I see him over.
- 50:04Here and I'm talking. To somebody, in fairness, I'm
- 50:07right here and I'm people are coming up, we're talking, having
- 50:09a conversation. Then I we ends and I look and
- 50:12he's gone and then move again and then ends and look, he's
- 50:14gone. He was just all over the place
- 50:16like a pinball. So several people I missed dude,
- 50:19but I'll tell you who who didn't miss us and is Colton, Dude.
- 50:24Colton came up, introducing Craig, grabbed Craig, brought
- 50:28them to me to introduce them to me because I hadn't met them
- 50:31yet. Either.
- 50:32Yeah, we hadn't even talked about that.
- 50:33Oh my God, You got to meet them too.
- 50:35They were there. Colton kind of interfered and
- 50:39grabbed them and brought them back to me.
- 50:40I didn't ask him to. I'm just standing there and
- 50:43dude, he is just running point so well.
- 50:45So I got to hang out with Colton there.
- 50:47Then I got to go to the after party and hang out with Colton
- 50:49and Tuttle, Dude and Tuttle. I've never met Tuttle.
- 50:52I've interacted with him one time on Twitter like five years
- 50:54ago, eight years ago. I don't know what it was.

- 50:58in their deal. You hadn't heard yet?
- 51:00Yeah. Yeah, I haven't.
- 51:01Heard it yet? So dude, it's funny.
- 51:03Tuttle. It's like, I've always liked
- 51:05Tuttle. I've always rooted for Tuttle.
- 51:06I've always found Tuttle to be very entertaining and it's like,
- 51:09man, this dude will get dialed in, you know, and which he is
- 51:11now. And like, dude, he is, he's a
- 51:13he's a true talent and he's funny and he's engaging and you
- 51:16and he's very likable, which is just above all else.
- 51:19You know what I mean? That kind of surpasses so many
- 51:21different things. But anyway, I got, but dude,
- 51:24there's Colton. He's introduced me kind of to
- 51:26Tuttle. He's kind of Tuttle's there with
- 51:27him. Tuttle's just kind of chilling
- 51:28there, you know, hanging out. Colton's running around Colton.
- 51:32You know what he is, Jr. He's you.
- 51:34He would be a great person to bring into music and become a
- 51:38handler. He is so good at everything.
- 51:40He understands. The new Nate.
- 51:42He understands the whole situation.
- 51:43He works the room. He.

- 52:17at? Yeah, because I've been asked to
- 52:19be on the radio show in Little Rock and I'm like, I try, but
- 52:22getting up. Yeah, they do, and they go

- 52:27Yeah. 10:00 AM And man, I don't. Yeah.
- 52:30And people say, you know, you lazy, drunk and high would No,
- 52:33I've been in the music business for 20 something years.
- 52:35We work late at night. I just don't.
- 52:36You go to bed at three or four? Yeah, that is what it.
- 52:41Is, I mean, I can shift once I'm home and I need to during the
- 52:43holidays and stuff, but and I can get up if I need to like
- 52:46we're doing we we go do Fox and friends in August.
- 52:49I mean, we'll land that night. We'll go down.
- 52:51We got to be over the studio at 3:00 in the morning.
- 52:53The crew's got to be there at 1:30 AM to start setting up, you
- 52:55know, so I can, but if you want, I told our manager.
- 52:59I told Justin's manager years ago.
- 53:00I said I can get up early, but it ain't J RI.
- 53:03Said it's that you ought me to get up I.
- 53:06Can get up, but if you want the full package let me let me just
- 53:10do my normal routine. I think you turn into a normal
- 53:13Jr. by about noon because we record some of our shows at noon
- 53:17and you're, you're, you're lively, you're ready, I think.
- 53:2010:10 AM Jr. is almost there. 11 You're you're there.
- 53:25Noon, You're you're good to go. I do go on the buzz of the
- 53:28Morning Mayhem show on the Buzz One O 3 Seven and out of Little
- 53:31Rock. It's usually I get on that 9:30
- 53:33or 9:45 slot. It's usually my spot.
- 53:35It's about I'm finally up just enough to get going on the tail
- 53:39in there. Yeah.
- 53:40But. We know I'm I'm looking forward
- 53:42to meeting all those guys when when I go.
- 53:43Down the gal. And I haven't listened to the
- 53:46Ladies of the BRN yet, but I've got it downloaded, so when I'm
- 53:49driving around tomorrow I'm definitely listening to that.
- 53:51Got to do it man. It's really good man, I feel
- 53:54like. A rock star because they're I'm
- 53:55just going to say I'm buddies with Blasi and I'm I'm in,
- 53:58right? That's all I got to.
- 53:59Do I think that's all we have to do moving forward?
- 54:02Handler I I think that Blasi, whatever it was that happened at
- 54:06the Tampa game, especially because that seems to be where
- 54:09you got to interact with a lot of the folks that are with us in
- 54:13chat. And, and all of that, the mojo
- 54:16that you threw out at that sucker has been behind Blasey.
- 54:20Right now. Oh my God, if we could get her
- 54:26on for an interview. By the way, don't you think
- 54:29everybody listened that I did not reach out to Tiffany Gomez
- 54:33one more time just to after? After Shannon, Burke said.
- 54:36I'll come on. That's when.
- 54:37You. You damn right I did.
- 54:38You damn right I did. That's it.
- 54:41You hit it while you're hot. You hit it while you're hot.
- 54:43Next. Door and and what did you get?
- 54:45What did you get by? Asking for that last time.
- 54:47She will get with us in two weeks when she comes back from
- 54:49Spain. So don't rule her out.
- 54:54Don't rule her out. And if we could get her and then
- 54:57maybe if we could get the hot tool lady.
- 55:00Or catch me outside or whatever. I don't really want her.
- 55:03You know, I saw that meme where you had the four girls, you had
- 55:07those two, then you had the the Catch Me outside and somebody
- 55:10else. And like, I definitely dropped
- 55:12the Catch me outside girl. Yeah.
- 55:15But anyhow, Blasey, we're running short on time.
- 55:18We have about 5 minutes left in this bad boy.
- 55:22What else have you not hit on that?
- 55:24We need to talk. About no, man, I just, you know,
- 55:26just we, we wrapped up that whole deal with that show.
- 55:28I just can't tell you how awesome that was.
- 55:31I am going to say this and I wasn't going to say it, but I am
- 55:33whatever. Because dude, you know, I think
- 55:35about things where I actually thought Tuttle would not like me
- 55:37and I was like, I don't think Tuttle's going to like me.
- 55:39We're going to have some kind of A and I don't want that.
- 55:41Like I think if he really knew who I was, he'll like me.
- 55:43So I was talking to him and dude, he was just opposite of
- 55:46what I thought he was. Let me back up.
- 55:48He's opposite of what I thought he thought I was like, you know
- 55:51what I mean? I was, I was, I was concerned
- 55:53that he didn't like me for some reason.
- 55:54I don't know why I thought that, but I didn't think he did.
- 55:57I knew Colton, I've been interacting with him, but I was
- 55:58like, I don't think Tuttle's going to like me, man.
- 56:00You know, because Tuttle has some heat with some people from
- 56:02time to time. Little take two things.
- 56:05He's first of all he's cool as shit and then secondly I don't
- 56:09care what he's he claims. He's 6 feet tall.
- 56:11He's got to be 6 too man. He's way bigger than I am and
- 56:13I'm five. Yeah, that pitcher y'all look,
- 56:15y'all look insane. I bet Cole, I bet Total weighs
- 56:22every bit of 200 lbs, and I bet he's six 1 1/2.
- 56:25He's grown and he didn't realize it.
- 56:26He's grown a little. Bit he doesn't even realize it.
- 56:30He. He.
- 56:31Doesn't no, but it was fun dude what a great experience.
- 56:34So fun. Can't wait for what's next in
- 56:36the future, you know, just going to keep rocking on rocking on
- 56:39here, man. And I can't wait to watch this
- 56:41podcast. Dude, it's going to be so
- 56:44unbelievable. It's going to be good, Yeah.
- 56:45It's going to be fantastic. It's going to be really good.

- 56:53music. Jr. that he's worked.
- 56:55He's worked with a worked with some artists over the years.
