I hope everyone is doing well, having a great hump day.
0:19
It's been a busy one for Tigs Bits, that's for Dang sure.
0:23
I tell you, we've been been booking some guests, reaching
0:28
out to, reaching out to more tomorrow to, I mean, February's
0:33
filling up quick, which is awesome.
0:36
So that means a lot of fun things are coming up.
0:39
I've also been doing a little digging into our show numbers
0:44
and holy cow, guys, I'm, I'm blown away.
0:48
And I mean, it's all thanks to you, all of you guys that are
0:52
watching this, you're listening to this, those of you that are
0:55
here right now, those of you that'll be watching this later,
0:59
listening to it later, whatever, wherever you guys support us.
1:04
And man, do the numbers show that.
1:06
And it, it's kind of was a, a good, a good little reminder, a
1:10
good exercise to to see. Yes, Sir, this is, this is
1:14
working. This is working.
1:15
And we're, we're starting to get some traction.
1:17
So it's been a lot of fun just in the last month across all of
1:23
our platforms we've done over, we've had over 1/4 of 1,000,000
1:26
views, which we've had more than that.
1:29
But that's just this month, which is, which is a good, you
1:31
know, that's a good indicator. We've been averaging that.
1:34
That's been steadily going up, which is awesome.
1:37
We've had people that are rocking our merch now, which is
1:41
insane to me. Shout out to Amber.
1:46
She made a video and she's been making videos with the Tigs Bits
1:49
hats and wearing the Tigs Tigs. That's her favorite hat.
1:53
She loves it. That's crazy to see people
1:55
making videos out there. My friend Kelly supporting us,
1:59
rocking it. Just crazy, man.
2:02
Just crazy. The amount of love, support and
2:06
all of that that we have going on out there.
2:09
And then if you wouldn't believe what else we've got, and this is
2:16
the play into what Jr. said last night, all of that really kind
2:20
of to be said that whenever he said last night, Charlie Daniels
2:23
said that he didn't play. He wasn't out there to play to
2:26
the empty seats. He played to the people that
2:28
filled them. And that's exactly what we do
2:32
here at Tigs Bits and Tigs tonight.
2:35
And with that introduction, welcome, Jr. the handler.
2:39
What's up, bro? Where are you coming to us from,
2:42
buddy? I'm actually in the a room in
2:45
our house. I'm OK, I was about to look
2:48
something up on YouTube and remembered what time it was and
2:50

2:53
just see if I can make it work from the back of the house.
2:57

4:02
Blasey told me earlier he sent 50 more more than once.
4:07
Unbelievable. Appreciate it.
4:10
Thank you. Thank you so much.
4:11
And look I mean if y'all want to send it, we don't talk about
4:15
this enough, but if y'all if y'all want to send some love to
4:18
us, feel free. Our Venmo is at Tigs bits or you
4:22
can search Tigs bit show LLC. We won't see it immediately but
4:27
I promise you we will give you guys a shout out as that comes
4:31
through. I need to put maybe tomorrow
4:33
night I'll have enough time. We do have a few voicemails that
4:38
we've received, just two or three that are pretty funny.
4:43
And I got a text today from a guy who loves, who loves the
4:46
show as well and wants us to do more for the Bubba show, wants
4:51
us to do more cooking stuff like, Oh well, OK.
4:55
No problem with that. Asking you shall receive, Sir.
4:59
No problem. And that reminds me, I need to,
5:03
I need to next time I'm well, when I'm back in my studio, next
5:06
time we do this, I need to do. I still haven't done the
5:08
unveiling and talk about the new round of seasonings I got a few
5:13
weeks ago. Yes, yes.
5:14
Yes, yes, yes. Yes, we do need to bring break
5:17
that out. Yeah.
5:17
And I actually I'm going to eat when we're done with this
5:19
because I actually made 2 pork chops tonight on the Traeger.
5:23
And I did some cauliflower chopped up in a full packet on
5:27
the Traeger and some green beans on the oven on the stove.
5:31
And I used FA on the pork chops. And I use brush dust on the
5:38
cauliflower with little olive oil.
5:40
And I saw our brother JD has got his his seasonings rearranged
5:46
now. I saw, he announced.
5:47
Some names. And all that good stuff.
5:49
So I know we'll have to get him on soon and talk about that.
5:52
But yeah, cooking, cooking and eating.
5:54
We got no problem with that for sure.
5:55
None. None at all.
5:56
In fact, I think everybody's going to love it.
5:58
Blasey and I talked about his new seasonings because just
6:01
before we recorded our Bubba show, I saw that Facebook post.
6:06
I went, oh, well, we got to talk about this because kind of been
6:09
waiting on it. He was he was on and then I know
6:12
he's gotten busy. He's been doing stuff, but so
6:15
that's really good. I forgot I saw somewhere his
6:19
wife some he had a seasoning before the whole braggy bomb
6:23
thing that was called Pantry dropper.
6:28
I mean just I love the name his wife.
6:30
That could be. That could be the official
6:32
seasoning of the Tigs bits. At the.
6:35
Operation, you know, play on. War deal.
6:37
I think that's it. Or the bra dropper.
6:40
I don't know. I don't know.
6:43
Yeah, I think we're thinking right.
6:45
Exactly. But yeah, so he, they, his wife,
6:48
apparently I saw on their Facebook, not a fan of that name
6:52
and never was, but it's a perfect name.
6:54
Perfect, perfect name for dudes anyhow, man.
6:57
So yeah. You know what I thought about
6:59
the other day about names I thought they ought to bring back
7:02
is the, the kind of jam band names, the dead names, you know,
7:06
you need, you need all that whole the whole hippie trippie
7:08
type thing is coming back around.
7:10
So by the time we get a, you know, a season in there or some,
7:14
you know, some, some something to go with that, you know what I
7:17
mean? Exactly.
7:19
Exactly. You know what, what a long, I
7:21
was thinking Austin should make one, what a long strange dip
7:24
it's been and do some kind of mushrooms or something in it or
7:29
something crazy. You know, I was just thinking
7:30
about random stuff, you know? No, I think that's brilliant.
7:33
I'm going to I'm going to have he's coming on tomorrow.
7:38
I don't know if he's coming. I don't know if he's coming on
7:40
the live show. He may be, I'm not sure still,
7:44
he's at the LSU and Auburn are playing as we speak.
7:46
It was like a 10/12 point ball game 11 minutes ago.
7:50
But you know I mean. LSU played.
7:52
LSU played Bamatuff the other day too.
7:54
I mean yeah y'all are ranked crap and don't have a great
7:56
record, but SEC is terrible. Well, not really.
8:00
SEC No, they're not terrible, just and once again tonight,
8:03
turnovers and all, that's why they're in in the position
8:06
they're in. But Auburn's number one for a
8:08
reason. But he's coming on tomorrow.
8:11
We're going to record ATV show. Just don't know what time.
8:15
Just a lot of the stuff that we've talked about.
8:17
But whenever we've had him on, we've gone for like an hour,
8:20
hour and a half. And I told him I was like, we're
8:23
going to go through a lot. Probably some of the same things
8:26
that we've done and that we've talked about.
8:28
But it's going to be ATV show. We'll take a commercial break,
8:32
do our, you know, do our, do our deals.
8:35
So it'll be, it'll be fun. Terry says that he's all in for
8:39
the droppers. Yeah, well, be on the lookout.
8:43
We're not going to put the cart in front of the horse just yet.
8:45
But you never know. Maybe one day we do have a
8:48
seasoning Jr., you know. We're oh, we're going 200%.
8:52
Somebody's like we're we're getting the season.
8:53
It's happening. I can't I.
8:54
Feel we're I feel pretty good. We'll take, we'll take every
8:57
dime anyone ever gives us and put it in an R&D and make sure
9:00
we have the best seasoning that fits our personality.
9:03
No, somebody of all these people who make seasoned stuff,
9:06
somebody will, will, will, will make this happen.
9:08
It might not be this year, but at some point there'll be a Tigs
9:10
bit this evening. I have no doubt.
9:13
I really I really have no doubt. Big E what is going on, what is
9:19
happening? Big E Well, as we know this
9:21
show, we kind of talk about some rapid fire things or some of the
9:25
top stuff that's out there. Try to get not into political,
9:30
but find some of this stuff interesting.
9:32
And usually, I mean, this time that the last last month,
9:36
politics kind of leads everything on everything that's
9:39
trending. This was interesting though.
9:41
Quick thoughts on this. Trump says that the US will hold
9:45
migrants at Guantanamo Bay. So like, so he suggested that
9:50
30,000 migrants could be housed on the base.
9:54
So unclear how the plan will take shape.
9:56
And that's about all that, no? That sounds like a disaster
9:59
waiting to happen for everybody, for humanitarian and for just
10:04
overall, I don't know, just seems tough.
10:06
I don't know, there's no easy solution to any of this stuff.
10:09
It's we're all in a pickle, you know, I wish our whole world
10:12
would heal up and and not be so cruel, but I don't know what's
10:15
going to happen. It's going to be interesting,
10:17
that's for sure. For sure, no doubt.
10:20
Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm all about, I'm all about cleaning
10:23
up, cleaning up crime on the streets for sure.
10:25
But you got to give some love to you fellow humans too.
10:28
So it's a trick, It's a, it's a. It's a tricky thing there.
10:33
Very tricky, very tricky. And I, I, you know, I, I just
10:37
the last time we used that place, not too good of a not
10:41
good at all. So, you know, hopefully lessons
10:45
learned and not being bad, I don't know.
10:49
Much as I usually love this administrations policies, I
10:52
don't know about the oversight on things like that, you know,
10:56
Just seems tough, you know? Very tough, very tough.
10:58
So, you know, we'll see, we'll see how that plays out.
11:02
But obviously that's it's probably that was the top
11:05
trending thing. It's really rocking, rocking and
11:08
rolling up there. No easy solution.
11:10
That's exactly right. And it's it'll be tough.
11:14
Speaking of still just staying on politics briefly, I found
11:19
this to be some typical political pandering in the great
11:23
state of Louisiana today. I think T Wayne Foster will
11:27
agree 17 members of the Louisiana State legislature are
11:32
threatening to pull funding for the Superdome if the Super Bowl
11:37
halftime show is not family friendly.
11:41
Like #1 the Superdome has nothing to do with the ACT that
11:48
is there. That's, I guess, the
11:50
responsibility of the NFL, but it's not the building And of all
11:55
the lewd things that have happened inside the Superdome.
11:59
And I'm not talking about anything with Katrina.
12:01
I'm talking about concerts, just insane Mardi Gras parties, all
12:08
of that, the debauchery and the insanity that's going on in that
12:12
building, and you're going to pull funding for that?
12:14
Like OK, get a grip dude. Again, don't we have something
12:19
better to do? I mean, that's just seems like a
12:21
lot of effort and and concentrated thought on
12:23
something that's really not. We got bigger fish to fry.
12:28
Pandering 100%. I can tell you, I don't know
12:32
what districts this came from or where it's at and in Louisiana,
12:35
but I have a sneaking suspicion that I know without even looking
12:40
and had that it's 100% a play to be able to talk to the
12:46
constituents. It look what we did to New
12:49
Orleans. We said we're not going to put
12:50
any more money in the Superdome. It's been gazillions of dollars
12:54
already put in it. What's another 10 million at
12:57
this point or whatever? What's another 100 million at
13:01
this point? I think the Superdome has more
13:03
than made its money back. You have to I'll tell you this
13:07
though, and, and you know, just a outside observation and, and
13:11
being as my wife's from there and I love Louisiana and I
13:14
definitely love New Orleans. We got to do something in New
13:18
Orleans. We definitely don't need to stop
13:19
the funding to the Superdome. We got to get New Orleans back
13:21
on track. Las Vegas is whooping our butt.
13:23
If we don't get our act together, we won't have any big
13:25
events anymore. You know, it's New Orleans was
13:28
the Cultural Center center forever, man.
13:30
It had the vibe because because of the the regionality and the
13:34
certain, you know, the type of culture that was there was
13:36
nowhere else in our country. But Vegas has just in Nashville
13:41
too. But they have just become these
13:42
entertainment Mecca's with with new stuff.
13:45
And people don't seem to tend to care as much about the historic
13:49
and the cool old vibe as they do the modern stuff right now.
13:54
So whatever we got to do, we got to get New Orleans back on track
13:57
if we don't want to lose these big footballs and big events and
14:00
and all the big things that come to town because that's
14:03
economics. That's what drives it down
14:05
there. I mean, the court and you know,
14:08
some of that stuff obviously, but New Orleans is the Mecca
14:12
that that's one of the places you go in America to party in.
14:15
Vegas was too. But Vegas has dumped a lot of
14:18
money and it is quadrupled in size in the last couple of
14:21
decades. And we have, you know, stagnant
14:24
after Katrina. And I know it's tough, but we
14:27
got to do what we got to do, whatever it takes, get more
14:29
movie credits, get some money coming in that way.
14:33
You know, we don't need to take them hard working people that
14:35
ain't got it obviously. But we got to do something
14:37
because the people who travel and spend the money there is.
14:40
And, and, you know, we, we just got to keep New Orleans alive,
14:43
man. There's no doubt about it, you
14:45
know. Jeff Landry has has vowed to
14:47
clean it up and and from honestly, what I can tell he
14:52
beyond, I mean, the New Year's Eve things totally, that's out
14:55
of the state's control. That's just one of those things.
14:59
But from what I can tell, they're moving in a better
15:01
direction. It is at least you know, it's
15:03
kind of like it hit the tipping point and at least it's maybe
15:06
it's going back the other way. So it's going to take time.
15:10
When I was there Thanksgiving, I felt it was, it was, it was
15:13
better. Even the we were over in like
15:15
the Marinee and I was like or the Treme and I was like, it was
15:19
fine. You know, it was it just felt it
15:20
felt it felt cool. Wasn't that bad.
15:22
I didn't spend a lot of time, but I just know that things like
15:26
that, you know, the the got to keep that the big stuff coming
15:29
and keep keep it up. You know, we need new exciting,
15:31
nice cleans, new, not new stuff. We just need to take care and
15:34
showcase what we've got, you know, to the young, to the
15:37
younger TikTok generation that like I said, I don't know,
15:41
everybody's allured by these lights and the flash and the
15:44
big, which is great. But the romantic, I mean, that's
15:47
the Paris of America, you know, with the romanticism in New
15:50
Orleans. We can't lose that with for the
15:52
new stuff. I know everybody wants to go to
15:53
Vegas and Nashville, but you know, San Francisco, it's a dump
15:56
in a lot of spots, but it's still got that vibe.
15:59
You know, you got, you go to Boston, you got people that talk
16:02
that way. Nobody talks like people in New
16:04
Orleans, you know, you got you got your, you got your South
16:07
Florida vibes. So you got your vibe still
16:09
around some places, but it's watered down to where if you get
16:11
off, enter any Interstate exit in America, there's the same 12
16:15
restaurants and shopping places. So we don't we don't keep some
16:19
of these regional cultural, you know, significance going.
16:23
It'll be lost forever and everything just going to be so
16:25
vanilla. Got to have some flavor.
16:28
You got to have flavor, especially in this state, and
16:31
that's very, very well said Jr. That's very is what?
16:35
It is well UEP long screwing us in that deal, never making sure
16:39
we didn't get any of the money out of the oil ever drilled out
16:42
of our state that that that we got to do something we weren't.
16:45
We put ourselves in a hole to start with.
16:48
We should. Louisiana should have the
16:49
cheapest gas in America and and you know what I mean?
16:52
And and and have. Plenty of money.
16:55
Yeah, best roads, best schools should have plenty of money for
16:57
all the all the. Oil like Texas.
16:59
Exactly. And most of the but, but, but we
17:04
just can't get out of our own damn way sometimes.
17:07
And that's just Louisiana. I mean, that just explains that
17:10
explains Louisiana. There's hope for.
17:12
The future, though? Yeah, the.
17:14
Yeah, Well, you know the. Rileys of the World.
17:16
And then on down that the younger, the younger.
17:18
Birds. We need them just.
17:20
Gotta get it on. It won't happen in a day.
17:22
Rome wasn't built today. You know things, right?
17:24
We'll get it straightened out. Didn't it?
17:25
Didn't It was people we have short term memory here.
17:29
You know, humans do because, you know, think we we think this
17:32
time we're around, but man, time is there has been people
17:35
chopping wood in this earth a long.
17:37
Time. Long time before.
17:38
It comes and then goes. That's right in a long time
17:41
after we're gone too. They just keep on coming.
17:45
Amber Amber says Hey Tigs about to go to work and try to keep
17:49
listening. Thanks for the shout out Amber.
17:52
You are welcome. Thank you for the support.
17:55
Love it. Brian ask is Jeff kin to Troy
17:58
Landry possibly because all Landry's are probably kin to
18:02
each other at some point down the line.
18:04
There are a ton of Landry's in the state of Louisiana.
18:07
I mean a ton, just tons of them. So probably just like there are
18:14
cooks, just like there are cook Bob, but there's only one Bob
18:18
cook, there's only one Bob. Cook I saw I saw Troy Landry and
18:22
one of his sons coming through the airport an airport somewhere
18:25
one time and they had the biggest duffel bag stuff they
18:27
was lugging it they they was they was about to whoop them
18:29
too. It was all they could do to get
18:31
them duffel bags. They had big old duffel bags.
18:32
They were just blue jeans, T-shirts, he.
18:35
Probably had alligator heads and stuff in Oh.
18:37
There's no talent taking it on the road to some deal.
18:41
Yeah, but Troy's Burley got the big Burley hands, you know, he's
18:43
real working man. They they were, yeah, they were
18:46
working those big duffel bags. It ain't a gimmick.
18:49
I mean they're they they Troy's, they've made money doing it.
18:53
They still you can still follow them on social media.
18:56
I don't think they do the show anymore.
18:59
I don't I don't know. I love that show, though.
19:01
Swamp people. Great.
19:03
I've never killed an alligator. I've never gone and done that.
19:05
You ever you ever done it been out?
19:09
There, but I've never killed one.
19:11
Yeah, I need my dad did. Oh, really?
19:14
Yeah, it's in Riley's room. Big old alligator head.
19:17
Yeah. I want to, I want to go to one
19:20
of those farms where you can, you can take one and then
19:23
they'll, and you can take it and get boots made and get, you
19:25
know, your, your and then take the meat and use every use every
19:29
part of the animal. You know, you eat it and then
19:31
you use the skins and all that. For sure.
19:34
Stacey G Everybody loves Tigs bits.
19:37
Everybody does love Tigs bits. We got to get that shirt made.
19:40
Jr. Yeah, we need to.
19:42
We got a lot of stuff to do, Tigs, because we know like, like
19:45
one of our biggest fans said, all we do is talk about things
19:48
we're going to do and we don't do it.
19:50
And we don't do it. Yeah.
19:51
We got a lot to do, but we. Put out a lot.
19:53
We're doing it though this year. We do.
19:56
We do a lot of podcasts. We're going.
19:57
We got, we're not going. That's the new thing.
19:59
We're not going to tell anybody what we're going to do.
20:00
We're just. Going to do.
20:01
That's it. So get ready.
20:02
That's that that, that's perfect.
20:04
I think that's exactly what we should do.
20:06
Under, under, under promise and over deliver.
20:10
That's what we've got to do. That's what we are going to do.
20:12
And two out of three have made that executive decision in front
20:16
of this board of 25 or 30 people or so.
20:18
So there you go. Bam, I hit the gavel.
20:21
We're still on politics. It is confirmed.
20:25
What? I didn't watch any news.
20:27
I hadn't watched any news since we talked last night.
20:29
So what? What else is going on?
20:30
Any new headlines? Anything.
20:32
There is, I saw, I saw a new headline today that yes, every
20:37
cook has to be related to the flooring cooks.
20:39
That's kind of why I get it. There's just a ton of cooks.
20:41
They're rusty. What is going on, man?
20:44
I always seem to miss you when you come in.
20:46
What is happening, brother? And of course, Stacy G again,
20:50
good to see you yes, I found something this morning when I
20:53
was running down just looking at stuff.
20:56
There is a Gulf Coast shrimp fraud scandal out there right
20:59
now. Jr.
21:00
I don't know if you've heard anything about this.
21:03
Very interesting. So a shocking new study found
21:08
that many Gulf Coast restaurants are misleading customers
21:13
claiming to serve fresh Gulf shrimp while actually dishing
21:18
out imported farm raised shrimp from places like India, Vietnam
21:23
and Ecuador. And here are some of the worst
21:27
of it coming in. Baton Rouge, LA has 30% of the
21:34
places that they went around and checked is doing this.
21:39
Galveston, 59%, which is crazy. Almost 60%.
21:46
Biloxi, no excuse for this. Biloxi 82%, yeah.
21:55
And the worst, and I'm kind of surprised by this, but the
22:00
worst, our friends in Tampa and Saint Petersburg, Bubba and them
22:06
96% fraud rate. They're not actually.
22:12
So consumers are being deceived. People are going to these places
22:16
and expecting Gulf fresh Gulf shrimp, locally called seafood,
22:21
but they're getting for that. I look for that and I look and I
22:24
and I, I think if you write it, you have to provide it.
22:27
If you're or you would just say shrimp, you have to put Gulf
22:30
shrimp in there. And you know, I know I wanna I
22:32
live near where we have several of the fisheries where they
22:35
bring the shrimp in, you know, up in Bon Secour.
22:38
AL and I, we go get shrimp from there right with off the boat to
22:41
the little shack by the boat kind of deal.
22:43
Not shack, but you know the process.
22:46
And I follow them on social media and I know they post
22:50
regularly or quarterly at least about don't be fooled.
22:54
Here's what royal because they're Aquila Seafood in Bon
22:58
Square, Alabama is the only place that gets royal Reds on
23:00
the Gulf Coast. Royal Reds will never come to
23:02
you fresh. They're always going to be
23:04
frozen because they're frozen on the boat when they catch them
23:06
because you have to catch them out so far, they won't make it
23:08
back. They they look eerily similar to
23:11
several of these red Asian shrimp.
23:14
So they'll they'll go on there and show you the difference and
23:16
say another one busted. They'll post the place that was
23:19
trying to sell the bump Royal Reds, and then they'll say that
23:22
about other shrimp as well. And it always made me think if
23:26
the few they ever get caught, how many are doing it?
23:28
So obviously a bunch, but there's got to be a regulatory
23:32
on that because I'll, I'll even ask.
23:34
Well, there is there's a little bit I there's a push for change.
23:40
Louisiana and Alabama passed new laws requiring restaurants to
23:44
disclose if there's shrimp is imported and lists the country
23:48
of origin. And because there's And there
23:53
there's new testing that they're able to do.
23:56
And there's a bunch of advocacy groups that are pushing for more
23:59
states to follow suit because a new genetic test developed by
24:03
Florida State can now detect shrimp species in just two
24:08
hours, making fraud a lot easier to detect.
24:11
So beautiful. Yeah.
24:13
Yeah. I mean, who would ever.
24:14
Who would ever know? I had no idea.
24:16
That's the. Kind of job I need go check and
24:18
see if everybody's selling the right shrimp when I find some
24:20
good ones to eat them. Yeah, Paul says that Bubba
24:23
discussed this today. OK, awesome.
24:25
Yeah. I mean, at at a 96% miss rate,
24:29
that would piss me off if I lived in Tampa.
24:32
Like that means at least at least 7 out of 10 times here in
24:36
Baton Rouge. It's and I can guarantee you I
24:38
know the places that don't. I can tell the difference.
24:41
I can. You could just tell the
24:43
difference. Just tell the difference.
24:45
They're not as somehow and other those, the the foreign ones seem
24:50
to get rubbery, probably because they've been frozen.
24:52
You know where you tell when they're fresh?
24:54
They don't. They don't get, they don't get
24:56
that way. Right.
24:58
Wow, that's sad. Yeah, we need it.
25:01
That goes back to the economic thing in Louisiana.
25:03
Well, we drove all the fishermen out because the petroleum and
25:05
then this and that. Well, we got to have people
25:07
doing things here that we used to do.
25:09
We got to be able to fish off our waters.
25:10
We got to be able to catch shrimp and lobster off our
25:13
waters and provide, yeah. That's for sure, Stacy says.
25:18
Does it? Does it show Fort Myers?
25:20
It didn't in that article, but I guarantee you it's all it's
25:23
anywhere. It's anywhere that has fit.
25:25
That's anywhere in America. Yeah, NE, they say.
25:29
Well, that's what I'm saying. I live right here.
25:31
I live right here where they bring them in and there's places
25:33
around here that get busted. Yeah, that insane.
25:35
Like literally. But there's nothing better in
25:38
Louisiana. If you know the right people,
25:41
you know where to go. And we used to do it in Florida
25:43
whenever I live there with Blasey too.
25:46
Old boat would pull up right on the side of the road right there
25:48
on 3/31. You could just take your cooler
25:52
reap. And they were they were still.
25:55
They were still alive. Like there was no, there's no
25:58
denying where what had happened with those things.
26:01
So, yeah, I love it. Yeah.
26:05
Don Rains, what is going on, Don?
26:07
Gulf of America shrimp are coming.
26:10
We're sending people back to Ecuador and bringing in shrimp
26:13
from the Gulf of America. You know the floor, you know the
26:17
floor of Bama made those shirts and they sold out within like
26:20
minutes and there. Was a big.
26:21
Really. Yeah.
26:22
They made them and posted on social on Facebook or something
26:25
and sold out instantly. And, and there was a lot of
26:28
people that that made us think about it, which surprising down
26:31
here. But you, you always wonder how
26:32
many bots it is, you know? What people just got upset.
26:37
I mean, that's, I mean, they didn't do it that, but that's
26:41
what Google Maps has had to go in and it's going to say Gulf of
26:44
America saw a National Weather Service report and you know, it
26:48
used to say Gulf of Mexico, it says Gulf of America.
26:52
Really. It yes, an official damn weather
26:55
report that says Gulf of America in it unbelievable.
26:59
He really did it, and people theorize, but because that
27:05
happened, now he'll be able to roll back the stuff that Biden
27:09
did, did that specifically said to not drill in the Gulf of
27:13
Mexico, right? I don't think it's that easy
27:19
exactly. We'll just rename it.
27:21
We'll just rename it, no problem.
27:23
Well then that if that is the case, then that's just.
27:25
That's. Just start a whole new precedent
27:28
that I don't think we want to go down you.
27:31
Know just like something different.
27:32
Every four years everything just get renamed.
27:39
Unbelievable. You can't make this up.
27:41
There's no. Gambling in Alabama?
27:43
We'll call it something else beautiful back in the resort,
27:48
taking room for a resort. Oh, man, I don't know if you saw
27:53
this. Here's some news.
27:55
I don't know if you're familiar with him.
27:56
I've seen a little bit of his work, not a ton, but comedian
28:00
Ken Flores, he passed away at age 28, man.
28:04
Oh man, way too. Long he He made a rapid ascent
28:08
over the last four years and was pretty very popular.
28:11
I've seen him on a couple of podcasts.
28:13
He's funny no doubt. So terrible terrible news.
28:18
But that got me to thinking, who are some famous people that died
28:22
at age 28 like Kim and Heath Ledger?
28:28
He's 1. Brandon Lee in the Crow, he was
28:32
28. Avicii the the Swedish Swedish
28:37
DJ James Murray. I don't remember him.
28:40
He was a silent film actor and Adam Goldstein DJM that played
28:46
with Travis Travis Barker. He died of an accidental
28:50
overdose and then ChatGPT. Of course, this is who I asked,
28:55
not part of the 27 Club. These individuals passed away
28:59
just a year later, still at a young age.
29:03
And then of course, I'm like, well, I'd heard of the I knew.
29:05
I couldn't remember if it was 27 club or the 28.
29:08
Club, yeah, no, it's forever 27. Yeah, Forever 27, Jimi.
29:11
Hendrix, Kurt. Cobain, Jim Morrison, Jim
29:15
Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse Forever.
29:19
Trine Jones. Yeah, it's a it's a ton of
29:22
people, but yeah, so. I used to have, I had a poster
29:26
of that when I was in college, but that's kind of always been a
29:28
leery, you know, not I'm glad I didn't fall prey to that myself.
29:32
But yeah, sad stuff, man Too young.
29:35
It is. It is, man.
29:37
Yeah. You buy it straight off of the
29:38
boats, Hogan. You got to get new boats, man.
29:43
You'll know exactly what I mean with that.
29:44
I got port, port City. Port City talked a lot like RFK
29:49
Junior Speaking of folks that with interesting voices and that
29:54
is probably besides Guantanamo Bay tonight and today the RFK
30:01
Junior confirmation is definitely up there because
30:03
there have been some zingers that have come from it.
30:08
And so that's, you know, what happens in those kind of things.
30:15
Whenever you whenever you have the the Senate committee
30:19
hearings, it's all fluff, man. You know, it's like I've said
30:23
before, I grew up in politics and around that, and they're
30:27
going to go at it and just say outrageous things.
30:30
It's just to get news clips and to get short clips and all that
30:34
to push their narrative and yes or no, yes, you're right or no,
30:40
Sure. Yeah.
30:42
Not everything is just a yes or no.
30:43
You know, it's just like you're not on trial really here.
30:46
They're just confirming you. It's not not life or death here.
30:50
I'd melt under one of those things, though, for sure.
30:53
I don't think I could handle it. But here, here is here's RFK
31:01
Junior ripping himself thanks to our friends at Whiskey Riff.
31:07
I know that Paul Rogers is a big fan of Whiskey Riff And, and,
31:11
and we we need to have that guy owned.
31:13
Not throwing out stuff we need to shout out.
31:17
Yes, for sure. But check out old RFK.
31:22
He finds a way to slip him a Zen in during this groundbreaking
31:26
stem cell research. It's an he find that funny.
31:34
That is what he's. Going, you know, for health and
31:36
service, all that, and he's going to slip in a Zen now.
31:39
That's what they're saying. He probably didn't really slip
31:41
in his Zen, but I do. I have seen him with Zen.
31:44
Yeah. I don't know if that I'm not pro
31:46
Zen. I'm not.
31:48
Hey. Everybody's in.
31:49
Well, no, but he might he might have used to been a smoker, a
31:52
nicotine nicotine's tough man. Whatever you can do to you got
31:54
to, you know, at. Least he's trying.
31:57
That's right. They used to all sit up there in
31:59
huff Cigs the then they used to tell us CIG was good for us so.
32:06
Kid children's television shows were brought to you by Camel.
32:10
Yeah, right. Camel kids get you some, get you
32:13
a Joe Cool. You know, I mean, I remember
32:15
when I was a kid getting Joe Cool stuff, little figurines and
32:19
things like that. They were awesome.
32:22
Yeah. Ridiculous.
32:23
It is. It is.
32:25
RFK Junior didn't have any better news yesterday.
32:28
I was. This was something I left out of
32:30
the show last night, but Caroline Kennedy sent a scathing
32:34
letter to this committee. The the whatever the hell
32:38
they're called, basically saying that I've known, she said.
32:42
I've known Bobby my whole life. We grew up together.
32:46
It's no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he
32:50
himself is a predator. Damn.
32:55
Yeah. That's pretty.
32:58
That's pretty tough. You I I mean, the Kennedys have
33:01
always been interesting. And that he's definitely goes
33:03
against the grain of the way most of them have been.
33:07
And the little bit I saw from today, I didn't get to watch any
33:10
of these confirmation hearings, but they were definitely
33:13
drilling him on his vaccine stances to be expected,
33:18
abortion, whatever. Just that, you know, just trying
33:22
to drill it down. Yeah, who knows?
33:26
Who knows One of those, those families like that with all that
33:29
long history and stuff it gets. It gets complicated for sure.
33:32
It does. It definitely does.
33:35
Well. We're getting close to wrapping
33:36
this up. We keep it around 30 minutes.
33:39
The Winston Cup Big E, that is right.
33:41
Yeah, totally. Skull Bandit.
33:44
Yeah, I've got to Kenny. Schrader I think we're in that
33:47
car. The old 33 skull bandit.
33:49
The Bandit Bandit, it was sponsored by Skull Bandit, the
33:52
whole thing. Was it?
33:53
Yes. It was, yeah.
33:54
I've got to, I've got to go get packed anyway, I got AI got a
33:58
flight tomorrow. I got to head out to Arkansas,
34:00
then going to Chicago, so. Harry Gant, Camel non filter for
34:08
sure. A couple of things.
34:10
Let's just end it with a little rapid fire here.
34:12
A couple of questions. Jr. and we'll call it a night.
34:15
Rainy, what is up? Good to see you Miss Rainy.
34:21
I think this is a good one. Would you rather give up bacon
34:25
forever or never watch football again?
34:34
You know, it's, it's kind of like I really could do without
34:36
either one of them, to be honest with you.
34:38
But but if I had to pick one, I guess I'd go with keeping bacon
34:40
because boy, it sure does make stuff taste good.
34:43
I, I mean, I kind of I that's a tough one, dude.
34:46
That is a tough one. If you asked me that 10 years
34:48
ago, it would be immediately, well, I'll just have a give up
34:51
bacon. Can I have I can still have
34:53
sausage and I have faux bacon can have Turkey bacon.
34:57
You know, that isn't truly bacon for just talking straight up
35:00
pork. OK, pork bacon, I could probably
35:03
give it up now. Yeah, yeah.
35:08
I mean, I just use and even really too much bacon and stuff
35:11
that I make. Yeah, I could do that.
35:14
And, you know, trying to lean out of that.
35:16
Trying to me question. Right.
35:17
I'm trying to, I'm trying to lean out of that too.
35:19
I mean you don't need AI mean, you know, get my calcium.
35:23
Score John Costeca. Thank you, John, for the Venmos.
35:31
He says. I know I'm late, but can't miss,
35:33
even if it's just a minute of content.
35:35
Dude, I appreciate that. We appreciate that so, so much.
35:40
Yeah. All of the all of these.
35:44
Yes. I love it.
35:45
Yeah. It is blasphemy.
35:47
That's tough. One, one more.
35:49
One more. Let's see.
35:56
These are going to be good, Jr. These are going to be good.
35:59
I just, I pulled these before the show and I didn't even
36:02
really look at them. Here's one who's the most
36:07
overrated celebrity right now and why?
36:14
And I'm trying to think I'm trying.
36:15
To think, I was going to say I'm not.
36:16
I'm not much on celebrity culture and current pop culture.
36:20
So who's somebody that's big, that's not that good.
36:23
Let me think. Right.
36:27
Immediately Rainey. Taylor Swift, says Rainey.
36:32
Enough of that. Yeah, I'm just tired of
36:34
everything. I'm glad when the football
36:36
season's over, she's about half ruined football for people.
36:39
She has, she has. And my daughter is a huge Swifty
36:43
and honestly, I have nothing against her at all, but I've had
36:48
I've, I've had enough of her too.
36:49
Yeah, enough of her. She, she, she doesn't, she just,
36:55
it's time for her to go. It's football, man.
36:57
It's football. Yeah.
36:58
Everybody's in agreeance. It's Taylor Swift.
37:01
That was perfect. I agree.
37:03
I agree. I can't think of anybody else.
37:05
It's a big, huge star out there right now.
37:08
That's that's just super basically just getting super
37:12
annoying, you know, So I agree with it.
37:16
I agree with it. Well, gentlemen, ladies, we're
37:21
going to ease on out of here. Jr. is going to hit the road,
37:24
but we will once again be doing this again tomorrow night at
37:29
7:30. Maybe solo place, he may be in
37:33
here, may have someone else, who knows.
37:36
We'll see. We'll see y'all.
