0:12
Yes, yes. Yes, I love it.
0:16
Like we're walking to the ring like.
0:17
Like. We're about to wrestle
0:19
Demolition in the WrestleMania US3 versus Demolition.
0:22
Dude, it's it is about time that Stream Yard incorporated such a
0:27
simple little feature as you just press play in your intro.
0:32
Start. Voila.
0:34
Voila, thank Bravo to Stream Yard right out, right out of the
0:39
Bravo to Stream Yard. Bravo to stream Yard cut us a
0:43
check from. Different spots.
0:46
What's up, gang? What's up, boys?
0:48
I don't think we've all three been together doing a podcast
0:51
together at the same time in a few weeks.
0:53
So maybe since the Opry when I was up there.
0:55
That's probably been a month ago, so yeah, good to see you
0:59
all again. Where are you?
1:01
Where are you Blasey? That doesn't look like your
1:03
normal digs there. Where you.
1:04
At he is in an undisclosed. Yeah, I'm in a, I'm in a condo.
1:07
I got, I got, I got forced out of my home.
1:10
My microwave. I'm, I'm honestly, I'm, I'm
1:13
blessed. My house probably should be
1:15
burned down and it's not, thank God, because the, my microwave
1:19
had some kind of an issue. I noticed it like Thursday or
1:22
Friday. If you closed it, it was a buzz.
1:25
So I opened the door and it was stopped and I was like, OK, so I
1:27
just kept the door open. Well, I didn't tell my oldest
1:30
son that and yesterday I wasn't there and he stopped and was
1:34
just going microwave a burrito real quick and it wouldn't work.
1:38
And he just shut the door and left.
1:40
Well, he didn't know that that thing was buzzing while it was
1:42
buzzing was also something was going on inside.
1:45
This thing do this thing melted down basically from inside out.
1:49
Luckily, like my breaker flipped when I got home, my house was
1:54
smoked out with the worst toxic plastic smell you can imagine.
1:58
Because at first I thought the whole house, I'm running
2:00
everywhere except the kitchen. I'm going upstairs, I'm in the
2:03
attic, I'm in the bedrooms, I'm all over.
2:05
I'm like, where's this coming from?
2:06
And I realized it hit me. I saw the stove was not working
2:10
and I was like, oh, and I looked at that microwave and I
2:12
remembered it was the door was shut and I went out there and
2:15
saw the breaker was flipped. So now, now I called my son.
2:19
He was like, yeah, I stopped in and cooked a burrito, but he
2:21
said it wouldn't work. And I was like, yeah, yeah, it's
2:22
messed up. I should have unplugged it.
2:24
So anyway, thank God that that broke my feel.
2:27
If my house is so bad you can't even walk in there, You you
2:29
can't, you walk up to the front door.
2:31
The plastic smell, I don't even understand what it is.
2:34
It's just so strong. I'm airing it out right now.
2:36
I got those that big fan running right now.
2:38
So yeah, I'm displaced. Everything is fine.
2:41
I mean, I don't, you know, there's a bunch of people in way
2:43
worse positions than me. I just need to wear it out and
2:45
work. Today I was over.
2:46
I ripped the microwave out. I got it out of the house.
2:48
The source of the odor and all that jazz.
2:50
But. Man, did you have to?
2:51
Did you have any water? Did you have to put it out?
2:53
Suppress anything. No man.
2:55
Luckily flipped it, stopped it before it got worse, you know
2:59
what I mean? It was beautiful at least.
3:01
You didn't have to deal with that.
3:02
Yeah, at least you didn't have to deal with that also.
3:04
Man, that sucks, Blasey. Well, at least it was on.
3:06
I mean, as bad as it is, though, at least, like, you or your
3:08
family weren't hurt or, you know, animals or anybody in the
3:12
neighborhood. So that's good.
3:13
But wow. So.
3:14
And how long have you had this? Working fine for years.
3:17
Dude, you know it's funny, I bought that microwave and
3:19
replaced it because I changed appliances in 2018.
3:22
I think it's only six years old. You know, and it's worked fine
3:25
until it just melts and just burns up one day.
3:27
Absolutely not even, not even turned on, just in a closed door
3:31
position. So why?
3:32
I don't even know. I don't even know what that is.
3:34
I haven't even researched to see what happened but dude you could
3:37
see the top of it inside was just melted out.
3:40
And I wonder, crazy. I wonder, you know, in
3:42
hindsight, you're like, yeah, I wish I'd have unplugged it when
3:45
I knew something was weird. But, you know, you're like,
3:47
well, who knows? I mean, it's a little, you know,
3:49
who knows what it could be, but a.
3:51
Fanboat or something. You know what?
3:52
I. Mean, I just.
3:53
Right. Right, A little something
3:54
rattling that's just coming, a bolt coming loose.
3:57
But also, what if you would have grabbed it and that would have
3:59
had some kind of weird ground? You got shocked.
4:01
So it might have been a blessing you didn't grab it.
4:02
You know what I mean? Yeah.
4:04
Yeah. Well, Dang.
4:05
Well, buddy, well, we're glad you're safe and we're glad none
4:07
your kids got hurt or, or anybody in your family,
4:10
relatives or pets. That's awesome.
4:12
Well, we won't. We won't tell everyone where
4:14
you're at so you don't have to look out like you're The Beatles
4:16
over your balcony later today with the the fans.
4:20
Coming in with all the equipment and all the gear, yeah, all my
4:23
entourage. Oh my God, I've got, I've got my
4:25
sound guy. I've got my light guy over here,
4:27
John, Jim, Jerry and Jamie. Yeah, I got.
4:31
The whole full staff. There'd be there'd be a beach
4:35
full of middle-aged men with beer steins.
4:37
Where's Blasey? Let's drink with Blasey.
4:40
That's exactly. What it'd be?
4:42
Oh my God. Well, well, you're not in your
4:44

5:37
I've got hoping to grab a little content for the show next week.
5:44
A little content. If anybody's out there watching
5:46
the Aging Critic, you're around Next Web.
5:49
Too busy this week to get stuff done, but next week in the
5:52
evenings kind of like to rock'n'roll.
5:55
Is a little bit of time next week they got is the.
5:58
Time. I think next week's going to be
5:59
the time I may have. To come over there, you never
6:01
know. Come on, you.
6:03
Never know. I mean, come on, you're not
6:06
going to sleep in that king bed with me, but but we can turn
6:09
this room out one way or the other for sure.
6:13
Got to say hi to everybody, man. What's up?
6:15
The fat pig is in the house to love it.
6:18
I love it. Glad to have you buddy.
6:23
Brian Gilson in the house. Of course.
6:26
Our man Mr. Paul Rogers checking in.
6:30
Would be live if Stacy G didn't check in.
6:34
I love it. I love it.
6:36
Mike is in the house. Goats I think is what I'm just
6:40
going to call you if that's OK. And then that's that's
6:44
everybody's checked in right now.
6:45
Everybody's rocking and rolling. The chat starting to bump up.
6:47
We're coming a little early for number one.
6:51
We don't usually stream on Tuesdays, but this is kind of a
6:56
special night because it's the only night that all three of us
7:01
can record together. Number one, this entire week and
7:06
and and the lives haven't had our good buddy Jr. in a while.
7:11
I don't know when the last while when the last live was, but it
7:16
doesn't. Matter.
7:17
It's not your fault. I didn't know we I didn't know
7:20
we were going live until you started giving shout outs today.
7:22
Be honest with you. Perfect.
7:25
I mean, well, we don't really change.
7:27
Our formats never changed. We've done the same damn thing
7:31
since we started the live show. Just the live show just has a
7:35
tendency to get a little off the rails depending on what's
7:38
happening on each particular night.
7:41
Like last week's a little bit, just the longest podcast, the
7:45
longest live podcast we've ever had.
7:48
Last week at 4 hours and 25 minutes.
7:51
Wow. But we were.
7:53
We were also. Stringing for the fence.
7:55
Trowski. We really did.
7:57
We had to watch the chat was in there.
7:59
We had to watch that hurricane. We had to make it, watch it make
8:03
landfall and then. There's not there's nothing.
8:05
My favorite thing is, do you know, doing this show with you
8:08
guys and then following your content as a friend and someone
8:12
who is just being entertained by what you're doing?
8:15
I love when y'all get wound up about stuff and really get into
8:18
things. Like I love that you have a
8:20
microphone at the LSU tail. That is that in itself.
8:25
Just knowing that's happening. Even if I don't watch the
8:27
footage, I could just my mind could just think about what's
8:30
going on with that. And same with Blasey when he
8:33
gets really wound up on something and I know he's he's
8:35
this is serious business. I just love to watch you guys
8:38
go. So I hate I've missed these and
8:41
I'm just picking. I know you guys love diving into
8:43
it because you got a lot of good points on things.
8:45
And like we've always said, we just shoot it straight.
8:47
We just tell the truth and nothing but the facts and you
8:51
know, you decide for yourself. So I've enjoyed it myself.
8:54
Yeah, I hate I've missed what you guys, but I try to keep up
8:57
in the chats or just pop on for a SEC if I can.
9:00
But great job holding the Fort down.
9:03
Glad to be back this week. I know you got your hat on.
9:06
I've got my new swag. How sweet.
9:09
Yeah. About that.
9:11
Stuff on there. Oh yeah, let me bring him in.
9:15
I can't see you, so I've got to zoom you.
9:17
In coming straight in from Captain Creamsicle and his wife.
9:20
April And then we got the same Boo.
9:22
Yeah. Here.
9:23
Yes Sir, yes Sir. And that operation Pigmentation
9:27
baby, I heard they dropped the podcast today heard they.
9:30
Dropped the podcast Word on the street.
9:32
Is that up? Another one man Speaking of
9:35
Creamsicle, how crazy is that? He was joining us last Thursday
9:38
night. He's in the chat with us hanging
9:40
out. Since y'all swag you're you open
9:43
up your swag pack that day I believe or not the day before.
9:46
One of the day, the day before, I think.
9:48
Yeah. And then Jr. got his, you know,
9:51
when I was down there, he he was the great, you know, the
9:53
welcoming committee. When I walked into the stadium,
9:55
here comes this big giant 6 foot nine man Blossi.
9:59
And I was like, Oh my God, what have I done?
10:01
Here you go. And his wife was standing there.
10:03
I said, oh, man, thank you, buddy.
10:04
And that's so, so cool, so nice, both of them.
10:08
And man, they're in there hanging out and he's like, guys
10:12
got to go to bed, you know, I got to get up at 4:30.
10:14
But he even told me that. Then he said I love to watch
10:16
y'all, He said, but I get up so early, so I watch his song until
10:19
I can. He said I stay up later than I
10:21
should on a Thursday, but I'm usually there and man, he goes
10:25
to bed and wakes up in water. Like, can you even imagine?
10:28
I mean. I woke up swimming.
10:30
I mean, that's, that's insane. That's insane, dude.
10:34
It really is. I'm so happy that the Bubba Army
10:39
has banded together, that Bubba got on, you know, donated $3600.
10:44
That's freaking unbelievable. And then everything else, the
10:48
last time I checked it at some point today, I think it was
10:51
about around 11,000, almost $12,000 right now.
10:55
And look, the link to Captain Creamsicles GoFundMe is in the
11:02
description of this YouTube video that you're watching.
11:05
If you're if you're watching this on YouTube, which that's
11:08
only where it's at right now, then then that that link is down
11:13
there below. And if you're listening to this
11:15
later on on our audio version of our podcast, I don't know why
11:18
that light just came on because there is no light in here.
11:23
I hate this computer screen. I hate this computer camera.
11:27
Just whatever we're going to get through it.
11:29
I don't have, I don't have the mobile setup that Blasi, the 11
11:32
posse has. There is nothing.
11:35
I'm not. It's it's the hands.
11:38
It's the hands. It's hard for us to not.
11:41
Do just just no sell it? Just no Sell it.
11:44
I don't even know if I'm do. If that works, it doesn't
11:47
matter. Anyhow, it is down in the
11:48
description below so. So go check that out.
11:52
But so, so proud of the Bubba Army man kind of brings us into
11:57
our show this week. You we didn't have a chance to
12:00
to do this because I'm on the road, you're on the road.
12:04
We're all I mean, we are pretty much just a circle.
12:07
Unbelievable that we're getting content out, but we are and
12:11
that's what matters. But I left our our show that you
12:15
and I recorded last week, Jr., the top ten DJ's, host radio
12:22
host DJ's and the top 10 comedians of all time.
12:29
And we broke that down and that is what is going to be released.
12:34
Yes, I'm trying to think of what we've done so much stuff.
12:37
That's what's coming out on the Bubba Army podcast this week.
12:41
But I'll talk for 3 or 4 minutes because of Captain Creamsicle
12:46
situation at the time that the GoFundMe hadn't been created
12:49
whenever I left the did the little.
12:53
Intro That's when we're trying to figure out how to help what,
12:55
what can we do? Yeah, I'm glad you got it in
12:56
there. Perfect.
12:57
Good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but then even
12:59
better, they created the GoFundMe and that that works,
13:02
that works as well. But I mean what whatever in that
13:05
I kind of intro it but but gave a little state of the state of
13:09
the program in that and all that and the shout out to the Bubba
13:13
Army and everything. So just that's the show that'll
13:15
be coming out this week everybody.
13:18
So it's kind of that's the problem whenever you have that's
13:22
an Evergreen show with a little non Evergreen intro to make it a
13:25
little more Evergreen and then it doesn't work out because but
13:28
it does it's fine. Hey I want.
13:30
To y'all enjoy. Do enjoy.
13:33
And I want to add something to Captain Creamsicle and his wife.
13:35
This is I think this is so this is just you talk about true
13:38
Bubba army to the core. So he wakes up in water and
13:42
they're scrambling to get out of their house.
13:43
They grab nothing. They exit the house.
13:46
Like literally trying to save their own lives.
13:49
And he remembers I got to go back and get one thing.
13:52
They went back and got his Bubba army ring, grabbed his ring and
13:56
then escaped. That's the only thing he was
13:58
able to salvage was his Bubba army ring.
14:00
You know, you talk about like OG Bubba.
14:05
I mean, if you let if you know, it's not a bad idea to have a
14:08
have a bug out pack like you don't have a have something
14:11
where you can grab something like your backpack with your
14:13
laptop, your pistol, your meds, you know, your handful, your
14:17
passport, your handful of things you don't want to leave.
14:19
So I had a house fire in Nashville and oh, know what year
14:23
was that? I don't even remember O seven, I
14:25
think. And yeah, I remember going back
14:27
in the house. Same thing.
14:28
I needed my my laptop, my, you know, my firearm, a few things.
14:32
I'm like, man, I can't have cash, you know, and it was scary
14:36
situation, but luckily he got that and didn't get stuck or you
14:40
know, because that's it's scary, scary stuff, man.
14:44
This storm is scary stuff. I talked to my brother earlier,
14:47
you know, and he's in Safety Harbor.
14:48
He's fine. He's out doing some claims for
14:51
the real estate, for the insurance stuff now.
14:54
And he said, yeah, it's a lot worse than they were expecting
14:57
it to be. He said this was some of the
14:58
biggest storm surge these people have ever seen and devastation
15:02
is. Just and what happened up there
15:04
in the Carolinas, It's just, I can't, I still can't wrap my
15:06
mind around how it became that devastating so fast.
15:10
I just don't get it. And I know, I mean, they're
15:13
they're there's like 600 people still missing like in the
15:15
Asheville area. Man, that's crazy.
15:18
That is just awful crazy. So just thoughts and prayers out
15:21
to those people out. There for sure.
15:22
I can't even, I can't even fathom, you know, so.
15:25
Look not to. Politicize.
15:27
I don't, I don't want to politicize this, but you got to
15:29
give a shout out to, to, to Donald Trump and for him going
15:33
there, but also to reaching out to Elon, Elon Musk.
15:37
And they have position 500 star links that are up and running in
15:42
North Carolina. And they're regardless of
15:46
whatever your payment is, if you can access it, they know how to
15:49
make it just work in that area that you can have free access to
15:53
it so that you can start to communicate.
15:55
I heard there's some temporary cell towers starting to go up
15:58
too. But I mean, dude, it's 2024 and
16:01
these folks have been abandoned for three or four days.
16:06
I'm not, I'm not getting into politics, but where is the
16:10
federal government? There is a, this is like a, a
16:12
Hurricane Katrina like response is what this feels like.
16:16
Like they didn't come to New Orleans for three, 4-5 days.
16:22
All hell is breaking loose. This is what it feels like.
16:26
This is Biden's and Kamala Harris's Katrina.
16:30
Congratulations. It really is.
16:34
OK, I politicized it. It's OK to help.
16:37
It well, we're taking all of our points here from the labor side.
16:40
If anybody is struggling is not make enough money needs to make
16:43
a change. There's enough work for about 3
16:45
years, four years going on right now.
16:47
Get you a get you a shovel, get you a chainsaw, get you a
16:50
hammer, get to work. You'll make three times what
16:52
you're making at your day-to-day hourly gig and do a good job.
16:57
You can have a career in it. No reason not have something to
17:00
do right now? You can.
17:01
You can go do three paying gigs and do one for free for the
17:03
people who can't afford it. Everybody wins.
17:05
Here's my point. Elizabeth in the house, that's
17:09
all I mean. There it is.
17:12
I mean, that's that's it. We're just being real, that's
17:15
what. We're doing Yeah.
17:16
And it sucks and we and, you know, it's just hope we don't
17:18
have another one. They got to say there's a couple
17:20
others brewing. I'm like, can this season just
17:22
end? Good gracious.
17:23
No joke, no joke, but got to give kudos a shout out to Elon
17:27
for for helping yes, that whole deal out too.
17:29
It's just I mean the response of private individuals are making a
17:33
much bigger difference in our own United States government.
17:36
That is an issue. You do with that what you will.
17:39
That's just where we're at. We're.
17:41
We're pretty used to that down here on the Gulf Coast.
17:44
Any storm hits anywhere. Alabama, Mississippi, Florida,
17:46
Louisiana, Texas, we're pretty much on our own.
17:48
We know that. Yeah, well, you know, and let's
17:51
go back. Let's go back for a second.
17:52
I. Remember when Nashville flooded?
17:54
Same thing. Good luck and.
17:56
You got to have the right people in there.
17:58
But what happens is politics does take over and this has
18:00
nothing to do with left or right.
18:01
This just this is just the way it is.
18:05
So Jr. and mine, good buddy Jeff Baird, who was nominated to be
18:10
the FEMA director years ago under Donald Trump, like got
18:14
nominated here. He isn't in place.
18:16
And I won't get off into the details if it's some dumb stuff
18:19
from college. And this guy was like the
18:21
coolest level head, this guy on college.
18:22
I'm like, how did this even come up?
18:24
Bubbled up and suddenly you had to.
18:26
They ousted him as the nominee over something in college.
18:29
And it was so dumb. And I was like, this is the guy
18:31
you want running FEMA? He's a former Marine.
18:34
He's got super, super common sense, very bright, very
18:38
intelligent. He should have been running
18:39
FEMA. But no, politics took over.
18:42
They ousted him, brought somebody else in.
18:44
Now here we are again. FEMA can't respond because I'm
18:47
sure two or three people since then have been ousted over some
18:50
dumb stuff. And then now we're dealing with
18:52
somebody who's perfectly polished, connected just
18:55
properly and they don't know what the heck they're doing in
18:57
there when it comes to response time.
18:58
Because he was over rescue and recovery and did a great job and
19:01
under multiple different storms on the rescue and recovery
19:04
operations prior to that, after Katrina, post Katrina.
19:07
So anyway, man, it's just, but that's just where politics just
19:11
takes over and just ruins everything at that level, you
19:14
know, it's. Beautiful.
19:15
Whatever. Yeah.
19:17
Any out man? I'm losing my voice.
19:20
The last look I've I've been losing my voice every night for
19:24
the last three nights. It was strong about an hour ago.
19:27
I was pumped and I'm losing it. But I think it I'm going to.
19:30
I've got water in the air. Don't worry.
19:31
I'm going to make it through. Yeah.
19:33
But thoughts and prayers are with everybody in this whole
19:37
deal. Tennessee, North Carolina,
19:39
Georgia, a lot of, lot of lot of issues there.
19:42
Florida, just everywhere, man. It's just it was it?
19:45
Was like a helicopter. Oh, never mind.
19:50
I felt, well, I felt a little bad, Blasey.
19:52
And you didn't you and I didn't say it, but I kind of think
19:55
based off of your text and our communication that you felt it
19:58
too. Like hope we weren't glorifying
20:01
this thing. Like we were having so much fun
20:03
with it. I kind of get wrapped up into
20:05
the storm chasers. And their excitement and it's
20:09
almost like turns into it turned into like calling a football
20:12
game in a sense. But at the same time, I was
20:15
hoping that I was reiterating that I knew as a amateur weather
20:19
dude how bad this this was going to be.
20:23
Just like it. This is like a little buzz saw
20:25
going through there. You know I.
20:26
Didn't imagine what it would do in, in, in Georgia, North
20:29
Georgia, going in North Carolina's.
20:31
I never ever fathomed that even when I saw it going in there, I
20:33
was like, oh, they're about to get some, you know, some decent
20:35
rainfall. They're going to get some
20:36
storms. I hope those people are going to
20:37
be be OK. I never ever fathom what
20:39
happened, like, at all. Like not at all.
20:41
Like, you know, you think about the 1st 50 or 100 miles.
20:45
And after that, she was like, everything will be fine after
20:48
that. But it was not.
20:50
Yeah. Iggy says that he he heard
20:53
that's a symptom of the monkey pox losing your voice.
20:57
I think it's a symptom of talking a lot over the last.
21:00
Epox. Wow Morgan get better, bless her
21:04
art. She has COVID so I hope.
21:06
Is that what that said at the end?
21:07
She's got COVID. Yeah, terrible.
21:10
Hey, so Tigs, I got to know, we talked about a little bit
21:13
earlier, but I got to know about you at the tailgate.
21:16
Give me some tailgate updates. This week.
21:20
Unbelievable. I still haven't watched all
21:21
this. I've seen that one.
21:22
Little thing, I don't have much. I look, I'm on, I'm on the road.
21:26
I don't have my I don't have Premiere Pro, my PC and all that
21:29
stuff that I used to chop up all of our stuff.
21:32
So I've kind of. Been coming though.
21:34
Oh, it's coming, It's coming. And it's Evergreen, all of it.
21:37
All this stuff doesn't matter. Well.
21:39
LSU is off this weekend and they're in the hit a little bit,
21:42
you know, so it kind of works out good.
21:44
I should be caught back up by the time we play Ole Miss and be
21:47
back live. This is just a little hiccup in
21:49
the schedule, but I'll I'll have it out.
21:52
I was going to play a 2 minute video tonight.
21:57
I don't it's not going to play. I tried it before I ever pressed
22:00
record and it was so choppy and, and all my Internet connection
22:05
in this hotel is good enough to do this, but not good enough to
22:08
like push it like like I can do at my house.
22:12
But if you not, if you're, if you're not a member of our
22:16
Patreon, you can go to our Patreon.
22:18
That video that I was going to show tonight is up over there.
22:23
I just simply asked and I don't know because I haven't watched
22:27
all of the footage yet, but I simply asked at least 20 or so
22:33
people what do they know about Bubba the Love Sponge and.
22:38
Or 18 to 22 year old girls. I asked a few girls just for
22:42
Bubba because that was for Bubba.
22:45
Yeah, I saw that, yeah. I got well, what I did didn't do
22:49
on Week 1. I knew that the audience
22:53
probably would like to have a couple of coeds in this mix.
22:56
So there they all came. It was just a flock of them.
22:59
I had a mic. They were coming to me.
23:01
You. Have that microphone.
23:03
When you walk around that microphone, it's like having a
23:05
puppy or something. Everybody's going to flock over
23:06
to you. That's what I told Jr. when we
23:09
were recording the other day. It's like he said, you didn't
23:12
have any problems talking to anybody, did you?
23:13
And I went, Oh no, it was like I might as well be holding a
23:16
magnet. Because they were just.
23:18
I mean, it's like coming out of the woodworks to get on it.
23:23
I ordered one after watching some of that footage, especially
23:25
from the guy from, you know, like the whole British deal, the
23:28
guy from Indiana or whatever. I was like, Oh my God, This is
23:31
Money I got to get. Blacy, you need a Garth Brooks
23:34
things you need a Garth Brooks headset thing, so.
23:36
You can. Call headset.
23:38
So you don't have to go back and forth.
23:39
You can just talk and talk to them.
23:40
You need a Garth Brooks. Now I can wear.
23:43
I have. A pill and I can hand them the
23:45
microphone and we can both talk from the same.
23:46
But it looked, it looked more, it looked more like, yeah,
23:50
that's great. Yeah, that's what I mean.
23:53
I could wear the lapel and do the mic, but I think it's just
23:56
more fun to do the I'm so. Damn.
23:58
And then you could do the Mike Amos.
24:00
You could do the opposite. Like you're talking and you have
24:02
it in front of them and then you pull it back to yourself when
24:04
they're talking. I feel like Speaking of Mike
24:06
Amos, I think you'll get a kick out of a lot of stuff.
24:09
I also beyond that, I did ask everybody this week, what's your
24:14
name, why here? How much bench?
24:15
How much bench everybody, all of the girls you've seen?
24:22
They were asked. How much you beach?
24:24
How much and I said it like that too, how much you beach and they
24:28
they got some good ones. Dude, it's so good.
24:31
My heart feel good. Oh, you're going to love it.
24:33
You were going to love it. Oh my God.
24:37
I Michael Amos, somehow somebody get this to Michael Amos, my son
24:41
Mike, somebody makes sure he watches this.
24:44
No, we love the Pops. He's the man.
24:47
But love that is hilarious. I text Mike all the time.
24:50
Little Mike? Yeah, we text back and forth.
24:52
Tell him I said hey, I hadn't talked to him in a long time,
24:54
but he's got to see this. No, we gave Pops some love.
24:57
Oh yeah, so down. The road here, you know he's in
25:00
great and. Beat.
25:01
OK, I figured. Yeah.
25:03
Oh yeah. We're going to make sure he sees
25:04
this thing. For Troy, Troy S over there,
25:07
that's it. Hey, speak not to not to get not
25:11
to take a take a hard left here, but a slight turn back to last
25:15
week. Blasey.
25:16
How how about Mike Ragsdale? What an incredible story, man,
25:21
what an incredible person and human and just a good old boy
25:25
who did well. I mean in rocking and rolling
25:28
and how smart he must be. He he no sells his his his
25:33
mastermind because obviously you don't do the things he's done
25:36
without being highly, highly, highly intelligent dude.
25:38
What a great conversation. And like more than anything like
25:42
that guy, just he's one of those.
25:43
It's kind of like Marty Smith, you know what I mean?
25:45
You just say one thing and just let him go.
25:48
It's like spinning a top or something, you know, it's like
25:50
he just goes and goes. And if you hadn't listened to
25:52
that show, seriously, go back and listen to it.
25:54
I'll tell you it's it's the most like it's, it's the best, like
25:59
best conversation that we've had on this show, in my opinion.
26:02
Like I, I agree, blown away with his story and it's all real
26:05
stuff. There's nothing fake about it.
26:06
It's just, it's just the way it is.
26:08
It's the life he's led and it's like.
26:12
I mean, he's just, he's just interesting.
26:15
He's one of the, I mean, it could have gone on for another
26:19
couple of hours. Y'all, y'all did it.
26:22
We put Riley played football. Riley's playing football
26:24
tonight. They said the damn games were on
26:26
Saturday. It doesn't appear as if that is
26:29
the case. He plays Saturday too, but he's
26:31
playing. Riley's playing as we as we do
26:33
this, but no big deal. Yeah, I, I lost my train of
26:39
thought. Where were we?
26:40
On my Craigsail. So we when whenever I got back,
26:43
y'all told me how good it was. And I immediately started like
26:47
downloaded it to start to edit it.
26:49
And I've I edited it by that by I went to bed.
26:53
By midnight it was done. It was just compelling and
26:56
fascinating. It's top.
26:58
Five top five conversations I've ever had with somebody.
27:02
Yeah, wow. Of any in a podcast or Justin
27:06
Moore or everybody. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I I I told
27:10
you know, I mentioned after that, I mean that was like that
27:12
reminded me of the time when I I had talked to Matthew
27:14
McConaughey and and some of those type people.
27:16
I mean that was like a Marty Smith type guy.
27:18
You know, it's just like man, so good and and just, you know, a
27:23
little starstruck a little bit, be honest with you, because it's
27:25
like man, and he's a good old boy from back home too.
27:27
It's even more. It's like we want to follow him
27:30
around with a notepad. You know what I mean?
27:32
It's like this is this is. Take notes.
27:35
But but I do think, I mean, I get it that living all over the
27:38
world and I've watched his videos, man amazing.
27:41
But woo, he's fearless man. I just don't.
27:43
I know he says it's safe at all. I get it.
27:45
We'll we'll talk more about that as as as we get to know Mike a
27:48
little better. But I thought it was the the
27:50
conversation was fascinating knowing his background working,
27:55
you know, in things before they were things, what they are now
27:58
in the 90s and then. Mid 90s.
28:00
I mean, he's he was on the cutting edge with AOL and coming
28:03
up with chat rooms and like it just developing stuff and going
28:06
out and presenting himself and understanding how we got to
28:09
present ourselves differently. And we can't go in with suits
28:12
on. We got to.
28:12
Wear out of an office. In Tuscaloosa, before it was
28:15
even a thing, before it was even a thing, they were coming up
28:18
with that whole concept. We got to be edgier and.
28:21
Different They were Silicon Valley before silicon.
28:23
Valley, yes, they were right out of Tuscaloosa, AL up there, you
28:26
know, right, just like you said. So it is crazy how cutting edge
28:30
they were early on and then how many cool things he's done since
28:33
then, you know and continues to do.
28:35
You know, so and and and and is giving back and he comes from a
28:38
good place. I mean, even tell he's just a
28:40
genuinely good person, man, just amazing.
28:43
So I hope we get more conversation time with him in
28:46
the future. But if you haven't yet, go back
28:48
and listen to Blasi, the one man posse of myself Jr. the handler,
28:51
talk with the one and only Mike Ragsdale.
28:54
It was a fascinating conversation.
28:56
And then go follow his show on YouTube.
29:00
I've watched several episodes lately.
29:01
It's it's, it's just like you'd expect.
29:04
It's shot well. I guess he's just got a camera
29:06
coup followed him around everywhere he comes.
29:09
Unbelievable. Right.
29:11
Yeah, yeah. So.
29:12
Crazy. And what's crazy too is that we
29:14
haven't even dropped the TV. We haven't dropped the YouTube
29:17
version of that show yet or anything.
29:20
I'm that we're talking about him.
29:22
It just hit me. We never dropped the video for.
29:25
That I was waiting. I was looking for it today.
29:26
I was somebody was asking. Oh yeah?
29:28
Well, there you go, there's your bonus.
29:30
I haven't edited it. I was going to make it a TV
29:33
show. You know, that's going to be a
29:34
TV show and I haven't. Yeah, that'll be coming.
29:38
Probably drop that next week, maybe on YouTube.
29:41
And you want to watch. It and you do want to watch it.
29:44
Yeah and you and that's great for ATV show so y'all just make
29:47
sure to remind yourselves if you listen to it now that's cool
29:50
then when when you know the show's coming out, tell somebody
29:53
else that you know would enjoy it to watch with you and maybe
29:56
that'll be the bridge. They can come over to the Tigs
29:58
bits world with us. But I think watching it, it
30:02
needs to be watched as well as listen because Mike's I mean, he
30:05
looks like he could be on Joe Rogan or on a on a CNN panel
30:10
talking about something, some crisis.
30:13
I mean, he's like him, Elon and somebody else could be on a
30:16
chair together. I mean, really.
30:19
Bardella would have been jealous of that guy's setup.
30:22
I mean, it was the most professional looking thing I've
30:24
ever seen. It was great.
30:27
He just in his facial expressions and his maneurisms.
30:29
You could tell me he's he probably, I mean, he probably
30:32
has done big, big time lectures in public speaking and certain
30:35
things over the years, I'm sure. Yeah, he can do a Ted Talk.
30:39
Easily do a. Lot of stuff, it's funny.
30:42
So my, my, my good buddy Jeff Cooper used to live right next
30:46
door to to him on the Bay. Of course, you know, find set up
30:48
on the Bay of his house on the Bay is fabulous, by the way,
30:51
that he still owns. But I would always make sure if
30:53
I saw him home and we're all there watching football, I would
30:56
migrate over there to to Mike's house, you know, because I,
30:59
every time I talk to him, it was just an unbelievable
31:01
conversation. You know, just like in the
31:03
backyard. What's up, buddy?
31:04
You know, just kind of migrate over there and talk to him for
31:07
10 or 15 minutes. Get some just absolute, you
31:10
know, gym of information and nugget of knowledge, you know,
31:13
his wife, they're just like, man, these people are so cool,
31:15
you know, like I just want to, you just want to talk to him,
31:18
you know, So but yeah, so it's it's cool that I was able to
31:21
catch up with him. I hadn't seen him in years.
31:23
And that makes sense because he's been gone for years.
31:25
Traveling. Really good, you know, so.
31:29
Good man. Yeah, good people.
31:31
Great job on that. Both of y'all did a fantastic
31:34
job. In the I don't know if you edit
31:36
it out or not, you can watch Blasey beat himself up for a few
31:38
seconds there at the tail end of it too.
31:41
I did. I don't think I did edit it out.
31:44
I don't think I did and. That's going to be part of the
31:47
Blossy the One Man Posse documentary and accompanying
31:50
book when it comes out about 10 years from now on.
31:52
How he took that moment and turned it into the empire now
31:56
because he he botched an opportunity and then and then
32:00
realized it was right in his face.
32:01
And now he's made this comeback and now he's Blossy the One Man
32:03
Posse. I mean, he's bigger than Bubble.
32:05
He's bigger than Hogan. I mean, it's coming.
32:07
Oh yeah, no, I definitely kept that.
32:09
Oh yes, I know exactly what Yeah, that's in there.
32:12
And look, the the only place you can see or you can't see it, the
32:15
only place you can hear it is that the is that the Bubble Army
32:18
podcast? That's the only place that this
32:20
interview has been released as far as I know, as far as I can
32:24
remember. Anyhow, I think I forgot to post
32:26
it. That's how much stuff we've done
32:29
that it's just I flat out forgot to post it.
32:32
I think you've. Been kind of busy buddy.
32:34
You know what? I mean, it's OK, it's OK.
32:37
It's a good problems. You know, I'm over here still
32:39
panicking like we need to do a show tonight, boys.
32:41
Damn it. We ain't got content.
32:43
Yeah, we do. But we're going to keep building
32:45
that content because we're getting getting Tiggy is getting
32:48
happier and happier with it. This is this will be show #50
32:54
This is show #50 podcast #50 the official Tigs Bits podcast.
33:00
This will be #50 of this. Year.
33:02
Of this year, last year we did 49, so we've already in the
33:07
whole year. Wow, so.
33:09
Yeah, well, it's just it's October 1st and we're not
33:13
stopping that's. Awesome.
33:14
Around Christmas, you know. Yeah, I love it.
33:17
Take a break and do our best of all that.
33:20
Well, we'll do. We'll get the sad stuff out of
33:22
the way in a reflective moment for a second.
33:24
You know, everybody knows here in the last, I mean y'all, and
33:29
this is even since we've started thinking about what we were
33:31
going to talk about tonight, it's expanded.
33:33
I mean, we've lost like 5 people from our childhoods in the last
33:37
two days. Yes.
33:39
I mean, we lost Dikembe Mutombo, Pete Rose.
33:41
I saw Frank. Yeah, Frank, from the the
33:45
Pickers. What's his name?
33:50
John from David. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:53
Well, and the the the the dad from Good Times and Oh yeah.
33:59
Yeah, that him coming to your mind?
34:01
Dang it. What's it?
34:02
I can't. Amos.
34:03
I just. He's just McDowell.
34:05
He's just. He's just McDowell to me.
34:07
John Amos. John Ames, yes, a legend, but
34:10
pro ball player I think also that stuff too.
34:13
Legend and and and and I bet if you look again, I mean this is
34:17
y'all literally in the last two days, you know, it was like boom
34:20
boom boom boom boom. Yeah, hey, I'm going on the list
34:24
and I wasn't going to even mention it, but I am because I
34:26
can't. So Amanda, her mom passed
34:29
yesterday kind of suddenly as well.
34:31
So I was kind of keeping that private like, you know, but she
34:34
didn't. Yeah.
34:34
I just was like, yeah, I'm not going to talk about it, but like
34:36
I think I should. So yeah.
34:37
So yeah, y'all think, you know, think about her keeping thoughts
34:41
and prayers, you know, and everybody.
34:42
So, yeah, that was kind of a kind of a little quick deal that
34:45
happened there that she had not been, she'd been a little sick,
34:48
but they thought she was going to rebound and then suddenly it
34:50
just went S So yeah, man, all kind of good.
34:52
I mean, just all kind of folks, just some crazy stuff in the
34:55
last few days. Oh yes, for sure, man.
34:59
Joe, the supermarket's joined us.
35:01
That's unbelievable. Just going to cheer it up for a
35:03
second. It's terrible.
35:04
Yeah, we I mean, we we need we know, roll them easy to all
35:07
those people, you know, like in the movie life, one of my
35:09
favorite comedies of all time, you know, you like baseball.
35:12
We own deck, you know, and we we all nobody knows, we all next,
35:16
you know. So thank, thank for the
35:18
contribution all those people had on any of our lives and
35:22
prayer, prayers to their families and friends and loved
35:25
ones. And hopefully everybody just
35:27
enjoys what we did have with all those different people.
35:30
But. Yep.
35:31
Yep. And you know, I hate it for
35:32
Pete. I hate it for Pete Rose because
35:33
he didn't. They didn't put him in the hall.
35:35
You know good Dang well they're going to put him in the Hall of
35:38
Fame. You.
35:39
Know they they always give you flowers when it's too late.
35:41
They do it for everybody. I watch them do it with
35:43
everybody in every industry. They wait till somebody's died
35:46
or can't even enjoy it before they ever give the love they
35:49
deserve. It is man.
35:51
I mean, it was a lifetime ban though, so I mean, technically
35:55
if he, if they don't by the time I die, if Pete, Pete Rose is not
36:00
in the Hall of Fame. What a travesty.
36:02
Well, and also, you know, to watch that documentary, it's
36:05
kind of sounded like Pete was in his own way, so maybe.
36:09
You know, but. They'll help.
36:10
That'll help. You know they won't.
36:12
That won't be anything. And at least for his family,
36:14
there'll be some. He'll be in the Hall of Fame
36:15
within within two years, like 2 years, I guarantee it.
36:18
You know what I mean? So he should have already been
36:19
there. But like, like you said, he kind
36:21
of got his own way because he he kind of railroaded that
36:23
operation to begin with. But at the end of the day, dude,
36:26
he was the greatest hitter of all time.
36:28
More hits than anybody, did it better than anybody.
36:31
Charlie Hustle, man, he was, he was the man.
36:34
And I got I got to beat that cat.
36:35
Yes, tell that story. Oh man, like in the late 80s,
36:39
what is this, 8087808889 somewhere right in there.
36:44
I got to go to Cincinnati and my sister was dating this guy from
36:47
Bellevue, KY and played baseball LBW and Andalusia and went up
36:52
there, hung out with him early July.
36:54
I think they had their Centennial celebration on July
36:57
10th and the big fireworks on the river and all that.
37:00
We go to a Reds game and we go there with Barry Larkin's
37:04
girlfriend, who's good friends with him, and we sit with her.
37:09
And after the game, I think we're leaving and we're walking
37:11
out of the stadium and then we go back into this little tunnel
37:14
situation, which is right outside the locker room.
37:17
So there's cars around this little tunnel lap thing that
37:20
goes around and here comes all the players, man Eric Davis,
37:24
Barry Larkin, Jose Rio, Chris Sabo.
37:28
Dude, I'm getting to hang out with all these cats.
37:30
I'm sitting at Barry Larkin's brand new Toyota Supra he just
37:33
got. He's telling me all about it.
37:35
Like I'm totally in awe. And then he outcomes Pete Rose
37:39
and he's got his entourage when he comes out of locker room and
37:41
he's gone, leaving the tunnel. And she yells, hey, Pete.
37:46
And he turns around. He's like, I have somebody I
37:47
want you to meet. And he comes back, dude, and
37:50
he's like 200 feet away and he comes walking back all the way
37:53
back there to me. And she said, this is Chad, He's
37:55
here from Alabama. This is sisters, my friend Mike.
37:58
And did. He sits there and spends 15
37:59
minutes with me. He doesn't just shake my hand
38:01
and keep going. Stops everything he's doing.
38:03
We sit there and talk. He talks about Barry Larkin kind
38:06
of makes fun of his Dang batting average because it's like 295
38:09
and here's his lifetime 300. Like carries on.
38:12
Asked me what I play, what position we take pictures
38:15
together. What a cool dude, you know, So
38:18
at that point, Pete Rose like in and that's just before he was
38:22
managing and coaching at the time, just before he broke the
38:24
record while he was managing and coaching.
38:27
So that was just about to happen.
38:29
So. So.
38:29
So yeah, I'm a big Pete Rose fan, you know?
38:31
So yeah, you can't. You can go check out Blasey's
38:34
Twitter at SRB Trojan at SRB Trojan on Twitter and and go see
38:40
a picture of a young Blossy, the one man posse with a very
38:45
similar haircut to Charlie Hustle.
38:48
I loved it. I love it man.
38:53
It's such a cool picture. Yeah, that's also you had that
38:56
experience, Blasey. I didn't know that.
38:57
That's also I saw the picture earlier and I thought I hope I
39:00
get to hear this story behind this picture.
39:01
That's so cool that he was. He was that way.
39:04
He was so cool. And, you know, another one we
39:07
lost. I didn't mention Kris
39:08
Kristofferson. Yeah, I I too.
39:10
I thought that's where I thought you were going immediately, Jo.
39:13
Well, there's so many. I mean, it's just the.
39:15
List is like so. Unfortunate, I know and and I
39:18
and I and I, I never was around Kris Kristofferson.
39:21
I may have been in the same room once, but I I can't remember,
39:24
but I never got to talk to him or anything.
39:26
But from a few of my friends that were around him several
39:28
times said that he couldn't have been a nicer person and a more
39:33
gracious star not to try to rush away or didn't have time for
39:37
somebody that they didn't know and that kind of stuff.
39:40
So. You think kind?
39:41
Of a shout out for that and I would say my listening it my
39:44
song for the week would be the Pilgrim 33 by Christopher
39:49
Christopher Kristofferson Kristofferson sorry I messed his
39:53
butchered his. Name you.
39:54
You were thinking of Christopher Cross for a minute.
39:55
You got messed up. No, no, I'm just.
39:58
Saying the name he got Criss crossed.
40:01
If you wish I got. Yeah, I've got Criss, jump,
40:04
jump, Criss crossed. I'll make you jump.
40:07
But Kris Kristofferson, Pilgrim 33, go listen to that.
40:10
Partly truth, Partly Fiction, Walking contradiction.
40:14
You know that That album is so solid.
40:17
The songwriting on that album is so good.
40:18
The music is so good on that album.
40:21
Go check that out and tell me what you think.
40:23
Hey, I know earlier you said you didn't want to get political,
40:25
but let's get political for a SEC.
40:27
Y'all know I don't know shit about politics, so I'm going to
40:29
let y'all to chat it up and inform your lesser not less
40:32
lesser knowledgeable podcast host here.
40:37
What do y'all think about this VP debate we got going on
40:39
tonight? What time is it?
40:41
What time does it happen? I'm not sure.
40:43
I'm not sure I think it. Happened to the Braves game, to
40:46
be honest with you, we've got the playoffs, play the Padres
40:49
the best out of three series is what I'll be watching.
40:51
But like, nothing against that debate.
40:52
I'm sure it'll be good, yeah. I don't think the Braves won,
40:55
dude. No, the Braves are in, brother.
40:57
Or is every is everybody turned off with with debates, these is
41:02
everybody turned off? Do you think y'all are a good
41:05
slice of? Do.
41:07
You think y'all are a good slice of American culture that most
41:13
people are tired of watching the debates because it's usually
41:15
such a shit show? I, I don't think this is going
41:19
to matter one bit unless somebody dies during it or just
41:24
says a racial slur used to, you know what I mean?
41:28
Like, I think that's what it's going to take to make a
41:30
difference. I think when they were, I think
41:32
when they were more civil people, more people paid
41:36
attention to them. They gave these a shot because
41:38
at first it was cute that they were getting a little pushy and
41:40
some people like the pushback, but now it's gotten so, you
41:45
know, reality TV ask like it's like it's planned almost that
41:51
everybody's turned off. Is that what y'all are thinking?
41:53
Everybody's turned off now And it's like you don't want to
41:56
watch your person screw up even though the other person may, but
41:59
you know, your person's probably going to screw up too.
42:01
So a lot of people like, I don't even want to watch.
42:03
Yeah, I doubt I'll watch it. I'm sure I'll just wait for the
42:05
highlights and watch it. It's it's the vice president.
42:08
I mean, I mean, those guys, those guys, nobody cares about
42:12
those people, you know what I mean?
42:13
Like they don't care but. I mean, but do you think, but do
42:15
you think if they talked about policies like they used to and
42:19
and true intent people, more people would watch?
42:22
I do, but they don't, but I do. I do too, that's why I was just
42:26
it's. Going to be mudslinging that's.
42:29
Right. And nobody wants to watch that.
42:31
No, exactly. I'm just making sure I'm on the
42:33
same page because that's the way I look at it.
42:36
All I look at is, yeah. And I'm an adult now.
42:38
Would love to enjoy things like adults should like this.
42:41
But you know, it's not going to be about whose policies or what,
42:43
who you should actually vote for.
42:44
It's going to be a bunch of bull crap.
42:46
So that sucks. That sucks.
42:49
That sucks. America.
42:50
Do better, everybody. I mean, maybe the Chad
42:52
disagrees. Maybe chime in.
42:55
Yeah, let us know what y'all think because that's just my
42:57
opinion and that we it looks like we all kind of three of the
43:01
same page on. That hey, how crazy was it
43:03
though? Like I don't care what side of
43:04
the fence you on. Like with when Trump was at that
43:06
name Alabama Georgia game. That was insanity.
43:09
With Hank Junior, Kid Rock, John Daly Walker was Bill.
43:13
McCoy over there in the corner. Was that Neil McCoy?
43:16
I wouldn't be. Why?
43:17
I don't think so. I don't know why it would be,
43:19
but I also don't know why it wouldn't be.
43:23
You know what I mean? Neil's a, but Neil's a Texas
43:26
guy. I just don't see him there.
43:28
I mean like. There was a guy that looked just
43:29
like Neil McCoy there, standing there.
43:31
He. Could have been, I don't have
43:32
been. Security mentions Neil played
43:35
Battlestate Rodeo one year. He'll plays a lot.
43:38
I'm sure if it was Saturday night, Neil was working
43:40
somewhere. Neil's getting Neil still
43:42
hustles. Neil.
43:43
Neil was at. Yeah, Neil was at a big dance
43:45
club hall down in Florida, probably somewhere in Oregon
43:49
hosting the Jamboree. Seriously.
43:51
Neil McCoy works, buddy. That guy, he works.
43:53
He'll go, he'll go, he'll go to, he'll go to something like that,
43:56
the big Oregon Jamboree up there.
43:58
And I'd be four or five, you know, a week long worth of shows
44:00
and he'll be the MC and host and play like one or two nights.
44:03
But he'll be the MC and in between guy.
44:05
He'll do. Yeah, he he's, he's a, he's an
44:07
entertainer, buddy. He's an entertainer.
44:09
Yeah. And you know, fun fact about
44:10
Neil McCoy doesn't play guitar. Never learned how to play
44:12
guitar. He just sings.
44:13
He just sings, yeah. Yeah, and you know who
44:15
discovered? Who's that?
44:17
Charlie Pride. Oh, I did not.
44:20
I think I actually did know that because he's from East Texas and
44:23
he's from Tyler, somewhere like that.
44:26
Neil Mccoy's from somewhere in. There Charlie Pride got his
44:28
start up there in Seattle and Portland area.
44:33
Wow. He was up there playing some
44:34
ball, got to playing some music, blah blah blah.
44:38
Late late 80s or early 90s is when Neil McCoy played there the
44:43
first time I saw. And who played late 80s and who
44:46
put Charlie Pride on the map? Was Willie Nelson by giving him
44:48
big old kiss on stage? When they first put Charlie
44:51
Pride's album out, they didn't put his picture on it because
44:53
they didn't want to put a black guy on there and they made him
44:57
change it so that and put it on there.
44:59
And then it could end up after that moment Willie Nelson and it
45:01
end up selling like, I don't know, a gajillion records.
45:03
It's a fan. It's one of the all time
45:05
greatest country records of all time.
45:07
Charlie Pride, fantastic Sledge Mississippi roll on Mississippi.
45:12
Oh, but he's one of my all time favorites.
45:13
But he's the one that discovered Neil McCoy, I think in Dallas.
45:17
I think they, I think Neil Mccoy's working in Dallas when
45:19
they met and try to put him on anyway, I go over days and days
45:23
about that kind of stuff, but. Let me answer.
45:26
I've been trying to answer Joe for 17 minutes here.
45:29
Let me answer him because it's a good question.
45:31
Is this the same as the Bubba Army Podcast Network podcast?
45:36
No, it is not Joe. This is the Tigs Bits podcast.
45:40
This is what this is our podcast that we do every week.
45:43
We usually do it on Thursdays. Tonight's the first time we
45:47
could all three get together in a while.
45:50
So look at that Bubba Army. But.
45:53
We are 100% Bubba army you. Better believe it, brother.
45:56
You better believe it. And we talked about Bubba
45:59
earlier in this show and we talked about him a good bit and
46:04
proud of what he's been doing, especially this week.
46:07
But wanted to answer that we do. Our Bubba Army show is an
46:10
exclusive Bubba Army podcast that you guys and the Bubba Army
46:15
here first. Then we turn that show into ATV
46:19
show. A lot of those lately have been
46:21
put into TV shows. The reason being audio quality
46:25
is better than the live stream. It just kind of works out
46:28
better. It's easier for me to produce on
46:30
the back end. So that's why we turn the Bubba
46:33
exclusives into TV shows. We find they're a little more in
46:36
depth than just sitting here and shooting the bull with everybody
46:39
in a room. And it's a little bit more
46:41
structured. So, you know, that's the
46:43
difference in the two shows. This is the show that we've been
46:47
doing for three years. So welcome.
46:49
Happy to have you in here. Please come back, subscribe and
46:53
do all of that stuff. So now we've got the
46:55
housekeeping out of the way, let's jump back in.
46:58
What do you guys think about the debate?
47:01
Here we go. Upstate redneck thinks it's just
47:03
dumb. Yes, he did.
47:08
Paul Rogers Walls got booed at a football game.
47:12
I mean, that dude #1 did you see that picture of him at
47:16
Michigan's? Like going crazy and all?
47:20
And then you can see the field is empty now.
47:23
You know, this could be a doctored Twitter pic.
47:25
At this point in time, I don't know.
47:27
Who cares? It's misinterpreted.
47:29
Off the ditch, we. Well, yeah, exactly.
47:33
Well, Minnesota. Nobody.
47:34
Cares. Nobody cares what number 15 and
47:38
versus #77 are doing. Should have been.
47:42
Well, he's only one governor. He is the governor of Minnesota.
47:46
To be fair, Jr. and Minnesota was playing Michigan.
47:50
I mean, did they win? Well, he should have.
47:53
Well, you know where he should have been.
47:54
Row the boat. Freaking North Carolina trying
47:58
to get people saved and out of the damn water.
48:00
I know he doesn't have anything to do with that state, but he
48:03
could have been leading the charge, rallying the troops.
48:06
He could have been. Doing.
48:07
Something. Did Minnesota beat Michigan?
48:10
No, I don't believe they did. Yeah, that he should have picked
48:12
and choose his bowels a little better.
48:13
He should have went. To a ball game.
48:17
There you go. Exactly that's.
48:18
All you need to know. Don't need a bunch of Yanks
48:20
running, I can tell you that. Need some good old boys with
48:22
some common sense running this joker.
48:23
That's all I know. We need, we need Mike Ragsdale.
48:27
We need Mike Ragsdale to get reinvested in the States and
48:29
come on back home and and pull a spot over there.
48:31
That's what we can. Talk a little sense into us too.
48:36
No kidding. I kid, I can't.
48:37
But you're right. Anybody who can help needs to be
48:40
helping any of these storm. Make sure you do your due
48:43
diligence and don't send money to scams, but make sure if you
48:45
can help in one of these reputable charitable, you know,
48:50
organizations that's helping people get to help them if you
48:52
can. Man kidding me.
48:53
It's crazy. Yeah, I mean it.
48:57
It is. It is placey.
49:00
I swear that the Braves got beat by the Mets yesterday.
49:04
The Mets are in and the Braves are in.
49:05
They're both in. The Braves play at 7:30 or 8:30.
49:11
I'm not wrong, I'm uninformed, I just heard.
49:15
I heard on yesterday and the Mets both got in because the
49:18
Braves won and somebody else lost.
49:20
So the Mets are winning eight to four right now against
49:22
Milwaukee. There you go.
49:24
I just, I know the Astros lost today.
49:26
I'm not caught up in baseball whatsoever, but I'm catching up.
49:31
I'm gonna catch up. I'm saying I found out.
49:34
I'll catch up before the show. Hey, fantasy fantasy folks,
49:38
who's who's any of our fantasy look any.
49:41
Fantasy people listen tonight. Is any of the, if any of our
49:44
people who are we're playing in the fantasy league on the chat,
49:47
please, please stand up. Let's talk.
49:50
You're talking to this past week's points champ.
49:55
Two O 7. 2O. 17 Mac I think I think I saw our buddy McAdoo.
49:59
He beat and. You had two O 6 there.
50:02
Wow, I only beat you by a point Blacy.
50:04
You made a, you made a run and Bugs All Saints team did well
50:08
once again. Hunker Harry's doing well, and I
50:11
think Hunker Harry is Brad Matthews Blasey.
50:13
Is it really? If I'm not mistaken.
50:15
Matthews is part of this. I think I'm pretty sure he got
50:18
in on it. Evan Winchester won big over My
50:24
my balls, Zack hurts. My balls, Zack, my balls Zack
50:28
hurts. That's funny.
50:29
Well, I can tell you this today, Blasey.
50:32
Two O 1 gave up, didn't even get 100 points.
50:35
I worked with, I worked with Lacey today.
50:38
Ellie, whatever that you beat, I worked with her today.
50:41
She was not pleased. She may be watching this.
50:44
Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome is crushing it.
50:47
They're four and O. Oh wow.
50:49
Awesome. That's awesome.
50:51
Team LFA lost Blasi, you got to win.
50:54
Yeah, two O 6. You got a lot of points.
50:56
I did get a lot of points. Yeah, I've been.
50:58
Finally glossed for the full team, it helps.
51:01
It does help. It does help fantasy footballs.
51:03
I lost by one point. Did you really?
51:06
Two points? 1.2 points?
51:08
I lost by 1. .2 points. To perch thing.
51:12
No, I. Started.
51:13
Saying 2022 hey. That's tough.
51:17
That's tough to stomach, you know what I mean?
51:19
Especially 1. Point 159.38 to 160.5.
51:24
Eight, You know what's funny, I looked at it the other day and I
51:26
thought if you score 16165, you got a really good solid chance
51:30
of winning week in, week out. Like there's going to be people
51:32
that blow you out, but if you could score in that range,
51:34
you're going to be all right if. You get 175, you're rocking.
51:38
Yes, you are. Yeah.

52:03
Do we're getting down to the Hobb?
52:05
Stretch, we got to give Bubba more of a shout out, apparently.
52:08
I understand. So I was listening to Bubba the
52:10
other day and he talked about something he's never talked
52:12
about before. What's that?
52:14
He's talked about this, but he gave up some information he had
52:17
never released. And this was just like 2 days
52:19
ago. And so he said he was going back
52:22
to the, the COVID year when Deion was still like, I think
52:29
coaching at a high school. His son had just signed with
52:32
FAU, Shadour committed there and, and he came into Tampa.
52:38
Tom was in Tampa. I just got into Tampa, was
52:40
living at Jeter's house. And then he reached out to
52:43
Sponge and was like, hey Sponge, you know, I'm not going to try
52:49
to do it. But anyway, so he reached out.
52:53
He reached out to Bubba and was like, hey, let's have dinner.
52:56
So Bubba's like, yeah, let's do it.
52:57
So they go have dinner on Friday night after they get their
53:00
dinner, Bubba's getting ready to supposed to be moving the next
53:03
day, like at all the stuff planned.
53:04
He's like, listen, tomorrow I'm going to work with Tom Brady
53:09
with the door. We're going to go to practice
53:11
field. He's going, he's going to work
53:12
with him and spend like an hour, hour and a half with him or
53:15
whatever. He's like, I want you to be
53:16
there. Nobody else is invited.
53:18
You know, Bubbles like heck yeah.
53:20
So he scratches all his plans and goes to show up and goes to
53:24
the field and there he is. And it's so it's it's Dion, it's
53:27
the door. It's Bubba.
53:29
It's Tom Brady and Tom Brady's personal trainer.
53:33
And they're out there and he's out there grinding with the
53:36
door, working through all the stuff.
53:39
Oh. My God, I'm trying to decide, am
53:43
I? Yeah, he is hot as hell.
53:44
And yeah, literally. And he's deciding to bring out
53:47
my phone, but I don't want to be that guy.
53:49
And then finally, you know, Dion's like, hey, sponge out,
53:53
get over here and get you, get you some footage in.
53:55
You know, he's like, all right, you know, so he starts filming
53:57
some stuff. There's some footage on that.
53:59
But he said, here's something I never told anybody.
54:01
He said while they're working, they're grinding, they're
54:03
showing every, you know, he's talking to him, helping him out.
54:06
He's at the very end. He looked at him and he said,
54:10
listen, he said, there's two people I don't want you to ever,
54:13
ever be like. He called two NFL quarterbacks
54:17
out. He was like, don't be like Ben
54:20
Roethlisberger and don't be like Aaron Rodgers.
54:23
And he was like, OK, what do you mean?
54:25
He was like, well, The thing is when you win and I don't care if
54:28
you go out there, you throw 20, you know, 3 for 25, you know,
54:32
put that on the team. That's the team's effort.
54:34
That's everybody, you know, the lineman blocking, that's
54:37
everybody doing what they're supposed to be doing.
54:39
That's a team win. He was like, but when it goes
54:42
bad and you're tied in tips the ball and, you know, and somebody
54:45
else intercepts it and pick, pick six, he said put it on
54:48
yourself. He was like, make sure you do
54:50
those two things. He was like, you'll be fine.
54:52
He was like, those two guys don't do that.
54:53
And I was like, damn, you know, I was like.
54:55
I'm hard to pull a. Ball out, you know, and he
54:57
called those two guys out specifically.
54:59
I just thought it was interesting, he said.
55:01
That's the first time he'd mentioned that was on the radio
55:03
the other day. So there's a Bubba the Love
55:05
Sponge exclusive behind the scenes with Tom Brady, the GOAT,
55:09
calling out two other great quarterbacks.
55:13
But how you need to act a certain way, you know?
55:15
So anyway, it was also in the same breath when.
55:19
They were talking about. What?
55:20
What you got What you got, Lola. Oh, I didn't even see you.
55:24
I see. Nothing better than when the
55:26
dogs joined the. Show that was fantastic.
55:28
I was looking down the chat box. There was no chat.
55:30
I was like, what am I supposed to be seeing here?
55:32
Oh doggy dog, we almost done. No, man, I almost done.
55:40
Just hang tight. We're going to eat in a minute.
55:42
Don't worry. We did an early show tonight.
55:44
It's all it's fun. It's a man just said that that
55:48
is a that is a hell of an insight and a bit even even
55:52
crazier thing to me Blacy is that your ring size is 8 that
55:57
Are you sure you measured it right?
55:59
No, I'm not. I actually went to my buddy sign
56:01
shop and he had a ruler like a measuring tape and I wrapped
56:05
around my finger and I was like Nope, that that ain't right.
56:09
Nope. No way.
56:11
Mine's mine's like a skinny finger, dude.
56:13
Yeah, that's true. But of those things.
56:17
Like asparagus fingers. Download the damn app that I
56:19
told you to and do it on there and it'll, it'll, it will, it'll
56:23
do it for you. I promise you.
56:25
Placing just when you're dressed up, running around peddling
56:28
overpriced hospital supplies. Stop in a nice fancy jeweler
56:33
somewhere, flash a little bling at them, show them you got the
56:36
gas card and get them to size your finger.
56:39
For you, I got kind of a little thing.
56:40
I've wrapped a measuring tape around it and it came around to
56:42
8. Just go to a fan, go in a fancy
56:44
place and get some footage of them doing it please.
56:46
That would be the best thing. That would be the best for the
56:48
show and for everybody. Involved now making sure you get
56:52
the right. Maybe I can get the right damn
56:54
size. I'm trying to get this ring.
56:56
This is the ring I'm about to get.
56:58
You need to get a size properly. Yeah, I think you get an A
57:00
that's going to go to your first knuckle.
57:02
I mean he would fit on my pinky. What was your size?
57:07
They are. I don't know yet, because I
57:09
haven't. You would know.
57:10
Don't have footage of me. You've.
57:11
Got to do this. Bubba's been entirely too much
57:14
money on rings. I'm going to a fancy place and
57:17
act like I'm rich for about 10 minutes while they size me up
57:19
and talk. We're going to get.
57:22
To the fruit and right now fruit and.
57:24
Some champagne and. We we've got to get this to say.
57:26
We'll go to a place that I can barely pronounce to get my face.
57:30
It's a centimeter. It's listen, it's centimeter,
57:32
OK. And I measured centimeters and
57:35
it rolled around till like 88 and 1/2 or something, I thought.
57:38
Look this app and you may not can see it because like real
57:42
sizer. Look, we're not table it to you.
57:45
I don't think we're going to take anything less than you
57:47
dressed up nice, going in a nice place, catching content and
57:50
getting. To the size of that, but you
57:51
need to do it tomorrow as. Soon as possible the.
57:57
Fine is nothing but the finest and make sure you introduce
58:00
yourself. A 30 grand man to drop in that
58:02
place so I think I'll just. Tell them I'm friends with
58:04
Bubba. It's good to see you.
58:05
It's been a while. Like you already know them.
58:07
Do them like I did, Wynona. Hey, good to see you sugar.
58:13
How you been good to? See you too.
58:16
Yeah. I mean, that's just the move.
58:17
That's the move for sure. I do it too at work with people
58:23
that I can tell. I wanted to say something to me,
58:26
but I can't remember exactly what it was that I said to them.
58:29
And they like, because I see a lot of times when I'm doing
58:32
this, I'm enrolling teachers and nurses and stuff like that,
58:35
selling insurance. I talked to 55 people in a day
58:39
and I recognize their face, but man, I can't go back to what I
58:42
said at 9:00 AM. At 3:45 PMI talked to 40 people
58:46
in. Between or somebody, you know,
58:49
days after a party and then, you know, there's a bunch of people
58:51
at this party and you know, you can't.
58:52
And then four days later, after you come too, you're like, did I
58:55
talk to those people? I remember them being there.
58:57
And so you're like, hey, good to see you.
