Who Wins the Ultimate Dude Time Bracket? · Tigs Bits Podcast

0:09
Hey everybody, welcome back to another laid back round of Tiggy
0:16
in the Handler. Today we're just going to shoot
0:19
the breeze. We're going to talk about
0:20
whatever random stuff pops up. Have us a damn good time.
0:25
So go pour you a drink, get one, do whatever you need to do and
0:30
and let's do this. Let's freaking do this.
0:32
But before we dive in, if you haven't yet, hit up tigsbits.com
0:38
and you can follow us on all of the socials.
0:41
We just crossed over the 30,000 plus line everywhere, Jr. which
0:47
is crazy to think. So.
0:50
Yeah, yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, without
0:52
any further ado, the handler part of Tiggy and the handler.
0:56
Jr. What's up?
0:58
I'm good brother. Good to see you again man.
1:00
Glad to be doing a show. It's been a little while.
1:02
We're starting to get into this fall, man.
1:05
The weather's just fantastic. And yeah, I'm pumped.
1:08
I'm glad we're getting to catch up.
1:09
Big lot of stuff on the horizon, some stuff in the rearview
1:13
mirror that I may have missed as I was driving by.
1:15
So I look forward to catching up tonight, brother.
1:18
Yes, me too. Me too, I.
1:20
Hey, before I get before we get going, I want to mention this
1:23
real quick. For all intensive purposes, this
1:25
is November 5th that we're recording this and today in
1:28
9191191111911. Guess who was born in
1:33
Cincinnati, OH and one of the the one of the greatest Cowboys
1:40
entertainers movie stars of all time?
1:44
Clint Eastwood. Roy Rogers.
1:49
We go a little further back. What year did you say?
1:52
1911, yeah. Clint Eastwood isn't that old.
1:57
Eastwood's not 150 or 100. And 15 right now.
2:00
Some say he is. He's he's 141 years old.
2:05
Man, you ain't ever met. No, hey, seriously though, that
2:09
hey, that guy's in great shape. Eastwood still doing work up in
2:11
his 90s. Great.
2:13
Work. He's in his mid 90s, isn't he?
2:16
And still putting out great movies whenever he touches
2:18
something. Anyway, I saw that.
2:20
I mean, Roy Rogers trigger, I mean, the whole deal.
2:23
I mean, as a little boy, I remember that's who my granddad,
2:26
you know, when he was a kid, that's who he.
2:28
They like Roy Rogers stuff. Yeah, You know what I mean?
2:31
So. Well, well, that that kind of
2:34
leads us right into random randomness.
2:40
Yeah. I mean, just a nice little
2:42
Segway, because that was as random as it freaking gets right
2:46
there. I love it, dude.
2:47
We'll what do you have for us this week?
2:50
I love it. This is when you get to see the
2:52
beautiful mind of Jr. the Handler and what he could come
2:56
up with. I'm.
2:57
Going to touch on a couple topics.
2:58
I'm going to go with one and then go down the list and then
3:01
the last one will lead us to our next little next something.
3:03
I want to get to 1st off like, all right, so it's hard to
3:07
count, you know, to like going in through TSA and things like
3:12
that. Man, you got to get the ID, they
3:14
got to run it, They got to check your deal.
3:16
You got to get a picture. I mean, now if you don't have a
3:18
star ID, it's something they got to ask you what color your house
3:21
is and all this stuff. It just blows my mind that it's
3:26
so difficult at things like that.
3:27
But then something like your phone, like you could give your
3:30
phone to 100 people and they could all look into it and
3:32
nobody, it wouldn't recognize anybody but you.
3:34
Why can't we just put one of these up there and it's you and
3:37
it's already got your thing. Are you, you know what I'm
3:39
saying? How is it so difficult?
3:40
Another one that's just like that is voting.
3:45
When it comes time, I always say we should vote for certain
3:47
things like here in the city when something's up.
3:48
I mean, just put it up to vote. Let everybody vote on it.
3:51
Everybody who lives here in the, you know, place or whatever.
3:55
But they have such a tough time with that.
3:57
Even when I go now, it's so as such an antiquated system.
4:00
But if it's American Idol or the voice or something and you get
4:05
every American gets one vote by God, that vote is counted to AT
4:08
and they don't miss one and you're not voting twice.
4:11
You know what I'm saying? It's so but but for but for the
4:15
most important things in our country.
4:17
We just can't figure it out. Another one is facts.
4:21
When things go down like all right, something may and I'm not
4:25
this is not conspiracy talk. This is just the how crazy
4:28
things are in drastic comparison.
4:32
Sometimes something goes down, a missing someone.
4:37
Unfortunately something goes, you know they don't know
4:40
anything for 30 years. It gets reopened.
4:42
They trace this thing down. They get, I mean can detail out
4:48
way more than you think you'd be able to 30 years later.
4:50
Then something current happens. I don't know a big terrible
4:55
felon predator ends up in prison killing himself don't have any
5:00
clue what happened and or hell shoot it, shoot it to would be
5:04
president. Don't don't know what happened
5:07
really kind of heard heard, heard a name here and there and
5:10
we the camera was out. It's about all we got.
5:12
But if it's some and no offense to anybody and if it was me, I
5:16
mean it is what it is, but some just average Joe like me,
5:19
something goes down 30 years later.
5:20
They can come find out and find a hair and a this and a a window
5:23
that we used to be there to talk to a contractor who saw
5:26
something back and get more information than you can on
5:28
something when something major. Goes down.
5:30
I see what you're saying. Yeah, Yeah.
5:32
No, that is, that is very, very true.
5:35
If a, if a certain breed of ants died in Indiana, we would be
5:40
able to dissect back millions years and why that breed was
5:44
there and how they died and why they supposed to die.
5:46
But something, you know what I mean?
5:49
It's the disparity there. All eyes are on the biggest
5:54
things and you know a guy just randomly in the in a in a 10
5:59
minute span or whatever. The whole story is on that whole
6:03
deal with the that. Dude.
6:04
Or JFK or put any, put any of them in, put any big important
6:09
thing in there. You know what I mean?
6:12
MLK all the big bad things that ever happened in our.
6:16
In our modern mysteries, that that.
6:18
We never we heard a little, but you never really got the full.
6:21
You didn't get a a big breakdown, or at least we didn't
6:24
know what we weren't told there was.
6:25
If there are no, we don't get to look at it.
6:27
So I just think that's so random sometimes.
6:30
How? Different things are random are.
6:33
Yes, I'm like, how is that like the like I said the voting thing
6:37
or the the going through the going through somewhere you got
6:39
to check your ID, I mean. But can't you just tell you why?
6:43
I'm concerned that we get into an age though, with the digital
6:47
ID, like that's when we start getting into cyberpunk kind of
6:51
worlds and in these futuristic worlds where your digital ID
6:57
becomes as important as anything else because someone then can
7:01
can put a gun to your head, make you use it.
7:03
You know what I'm saying? Like that doesn't happen in an
7:06
airport. I I mean, you wouldn't think it
7:09
would happen voting, but I'll tell you what, people seem to
7:13
take voting very thumbprints. Yeah, there's that.
7:17
I mean, well, you should. Well, here's the whole other
7:21
thing. Do you want like, OK, a voting
7:23
machine that that's a retina has a retina scanner.
7:26
You look into it and BAM, it IDs you.
7:29
That shit exists now. It has for years.
7:32
It I mean, that's how our what our phones do the same thing.
7:36
So that technology is readily available.
7:40
You could put that in a voting machine and that could be your
7:43
digital footprint, your digital signature, if you will.
7:47
Maybe you have to validate it with a thumbprint as well.
7:51
But now all of that shit is out in the digital world and as much
7:56
stuff. As cloud.
7:57
And the cloud and as much stuff as gets hacked.
8:02
I mean, I think. You know it would be.
8:04
Harder for you, probably pretty probably pretty busted on that
8:08
anyway. Well.
8:09
For sure, but it wouldn't be like my concern would be not
8:14
that they could vote like I would think that that would
8:16
solve the voting problem period. But now if somebody else has
8:20
this information and God knows where Russia, let's say the, and
8:26
they can start to imitate you because they have your digital
8:30
footprint, your digital identity, whatever it is, then
8:34
you're in a you could just go into a world of hurt.
8:37
We need Blasey here tonight and Bowser.
8:41
This is when this is a Blasey Bowser conversation for sure.
8:45
But no, I mean absolutely yes, it should be easier.
8:49
Even if it's not a way, we have now as much money as we can
8:53
throw at things to try to fix them in other sectors.
8:56
I mean, I'm sure we waste, I'm sure it's 50 jillion dollars for
9:00
the voting system we have now. I'm sure we could get one
9:03
something, you know, like with the TSA thing, I'm like, well,
9:07
that's easy because that's a choice.
9:08
If you want to fly, you got to give up your thumbprint or
9:12
something, you know, and everybody's thumbprints
9:14
individually and that should that'd be easy.
9:17
I would think so. Unless you're Tom Cruise on
9:20
Mission Impossible and you sliver one off and tape it to
9:22
your finger and. Feed people to and all kinds.
9:26
You know people will try shady stuff, right?
9:29
They're going to try whatever. Exactly.
9:32
Well, that's what that's and that's kind of lead me into
9:34
things that you get talked about and then they don't.
9:36
Another one of those more recent and something kind of close to
9:38
home for us. The great Bubba the Love Sponge
9:43
was correct on the Hulk Hogan saga there towards the end.
9:48
Yeah. And didn't hear much about it,
9:51
just kind of ended. And there it goes, another one.
9:56
Good point. What?
9:58
What really happened there at the end with the Hulkster?
10:03
No one reported on it. No one's came out and said
10:06
anything further. And I mean, for someone of that
10:09
of his stature, you'd have thought we'd have got a little
10:12
more better explanation. Like I said, you go back 30
10:14
years to some. Bubba took us a long he he
10:17
walked us through. If it wasn't for Bubba, no one
10:20
would even know. It would have just happened and
10:22
and it'd been over the next day. Yes, exactly.
10:25
Exactly. And Bubba's ridiculous, we lie
10:27
and we love him for the same breath.
10:29
But on that, on this thing, he was 100% and Brooke even a
10:33
confirmed it, all that stuff. I think it was just a terrible
10:36
deal. And I think that's another one.
10:39
Hopefully, I'm sure they will 20 years from now, they'll reopen
10:42
it. We'll have more info than we
10:43
have now, but still won't know everything.
10:45
But I wish we knew more on that. And hey, and while we're on
10:50
that, Speaking of, you know, I've, I've been kind of out of
10:54
the loop the last couple months because we've been on the road
10:56
and you know, I've just been slammed, you know, in the
10:58
summer. It's our busiest time of the
10:59
year. Y'all absolutely, of course,
11:02
those of you out there listening or watching, he is the tour
11:05
manager for the great Justin Moore and y'all have had a heck
11:10
of a summer. You've had a lot more dates.
11:12
And then, like you did last summer it seems, it seems like
11:15
you've doubled up and you already have seen part of the
11:19
schedule. Anyhow, in 2026, your year low.
11:22
Oh, did too. I love it, dude.
11:23
I love it. Yeah.
11:24
Summer's going to be busy. This one was too.
11:27
You know, we tried to take some time off in the front and then
11:29
make time for the holidays. We end up lumping it all a lot
11:31
more there together in the summer, early fall.
11:35
But it was good. But I'm now that I'm home, I'm
11:39
trying to do some catch up, you know, while I'm, while I'm
11:41
running my errands and doing my other things here and getting to
11:45
catch up on some podcast and some listening and some social
11:47
media and things like that. And I know the last I was
11:50
listening, Bubba had teased the fact that he was going to do a
11:55
little less time on air and maybe move, move our buddy Sethi
11:59
Pooh over to some of those spots.
12:01
And there was a little back clap and a lot of, you know, thought
12:05
absolutely it'd be great. Reddit went crazy.
12:09
Oh yeah I know they always do. Which I think Reddit is is like
12:13
bot central these days. I was listening to Elon Rogan
12:16
talk about the other day, but but after that, since then, I
12:20
heard the other day something about Seth may not even be on
12:25
air at Bubba at all anymore. But I haven't been able to
12:28
listen any podcast. I haven't listened to any of the
12:30
uncensored I had. You know, I'm sure that's all it
12:31
would take. But I thought I saved it when I
12:33
thought about a few days ago once I got home and said, I said
12:36
I'll wait till I talk to Tigs and we'll just we'll just look
12:38
into it together. Or maybe he knows.
12:40
But then I remember I texted you and you said you didn't know
12:43
really either. I don't because it's absolutely
12:47
and I know that we get accused of well, they always just come
12:51
on here and they say, well, you know, well, I ain't had time to
12:53
watch this right. Well, I haven't I have not had
12:56
time to watch or listen to to anything, not just Bubba it
12:59
pretty much anything in the last.
13:01
Couple of months every now and. Then you do.
13:05
I think it helps to unplug from even your favorite shows because
13:09
then you can come back and binge watch them and watch whatever
13:12
you know I. It's like a it's like a good jam
13:17
band concert. Ebbs and flows.
13:19
It's ebbs and flows, man. Build them up, break them down.
13:23
Take a little break, get hot with it.
13:25
Take a little break, get hot with it.
13:26
Finish. Strong finish.
13:28
Strong. Hell yeah.
13:30
Yeah. You know what?
13:31
I don't. So a little birdie told me, as I
13:35
say, way too much. A little birdie told me that.
13:38
That Seth had moved to Orlando, not moved to Orlando, but was
13:44
working in Orlando doing something.
13:48
And I know that I caught a little bit of the show in the
13:52
morning here and there in the last two or three weeks to just
13:57
like for maybe 30 or 40 minutes while I was getting ready before
14:00
I rolled out. And Seth was on there, looked
14:04
like he was remote, like he was doing it remotely, wasn't in
14:08
studio. So I really don't don't really
14:11
know the whole story, which is terrible.
14:13
I know that the people out here that when they hear this on the
14:16
Bubba Army when they're listening to this show, they
14:18
will know and they're like dumbasses.
14:21
But hey, total dumbasses. That's what we need.
14:24
Catch us up. Shoot me that.
14:25
Yeah, I don't know. I'm gonna.
14:26
Catch up on my own but. There's only one way really.
14:28
Like, so let's just, hell, I know what we can do.
14:32
Let's just pull, pull it up on YouTube.
14:34
There we go and look at just today's show.
14:38
Just a just quickly I mean. I talked.
14:40
I talked to. See if Seth's on there.
14:42
Yeah, well, I mean, like you said, I might.
14:44
I hadn't watched any of my shows lately.
14:45
I hadn't talked to friends in months.
14:47
I mean, it ain't that. There we go.
14:51
I mean, we were on a pretty big high there with the whole
14:54
Hulkster thing. So I mean, yeah, right after
14:57
that. No, he's in studio.
15:01
There he is. Look at Sethi Poo as you call.
15:04
Sethi poo sharp lummy got to hang out with Shaq.
15:10
I saw a picture of that. I'm sure he's he loved that.
15:14
Well, how would he? How would he not?
15:15
Well, that just shows. I've always heard Shaq was super
15:18
nice, you know, for celebrities. I only, I only met him when he
15:23
played at LSU and and I was, I guess that was 91.
15:29
So I was like 1212 or 30 times Riley's age.
15:32
Yeah. And I was standing there
15:35
whenever they were coming off the court and gave him five.
15:39
And dude, I swear his hand was as big as.
15:41
This 32 inch. Monitor that I'm looking at
15:43
right now. It was unbelievable.
15:47
And but yeah, I've I mean, I've obviously I've seen him a bunch
15:51
since then. He comes to, he usually comes to
15:53
a game or two here in the season and it's hilarious because he's
15:57
standing on the field and he's still blocking like the 1st 10
16:01
rows of people in the stands. I mean just a.
16:06
Big man. Huge man.
16:09
He's he is huge. Well, it's good to say that Seth
16:12
is still in studio. I had a little.
16:15
So I think that he lost the Orlando gig from what I
16:19
gathered, kind of I think what put this in your mind is I I
16:25
texted you. I was like, I think Seth is no
16:27
longer no longer with Bubba. And then I had to and then I and
16:32
then I reread the text. Don't read text late on Saturday
16:37
nights when you live in Louisiana.
16:40
Just you know what I mean? Like you may misinterpret we
16:52
yeah, no doubt, dude. So I think whatever I texted
16:56
Seth and and told him I was like, I think I misunderstood
17:00
and and explained probably why I misinterpreted it.
17:04
I'd had a crazy week of having to really dive in and no one
17:07
gives a shit about this. But deep into insurance stuff.
17:12
It's just for whatever reason, things blew my mind.
17:16
I was spent this weekend just like I.
17:18
I have no more brain power. Some would argue I'd never had
17:21
it. Right.
17:22
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I that's what I've said the last
17:25
couple days. I'm like, I just can't, I've
17:27
just got to recharge the batteries here for recharge
17:30
them. I'm spent recharge them.
17:31
But yeah, but that's interesting.
17:33
I'll be glad to see what what became of that is.
17:36
I guess everything staying the same.
17:38
I did. I thought I saw Bubba was doing
17:40
a new podcast with someone maybe.
17:42
So I'm going to dive in on that. Well next time we talk about
17:45
I'll be able to comment more on that.
17:47
I need to interact with them too.
17:48
They're always fun on socials. I know they are a lot of the
17:51
Bubba army and stuff and I, I know when I do they all respond.
17:54
It's it's fun man. Good.
17:56
Oh, well, I will. Things will start to turn after
18:00
Christmas. Then my crazy busy season really
18:04
ramps way down, so I'll get to be more active and catch up on
18:08
some of these things. But yeah, I think you're right.
18:10
I think Bubba's doing a new show with somebody else, you know, a
18:14
new podcast, which is great. Of course, our boys over the
18:18
line are just absolutely kicking ass.
18:22
Love it. There's no doubt about that.
18:24
I do occasionally they'll be going live, they go live a
18:30
pretty good bit on their YouTube and and whenever sometimes
18:34
they're on at night, like right when I start to wind down and I
18:38
get to slip in there and and chat with with some of the Bubba
18:41
army people are in there too. A lot of them and the regulars
18:45
ones. We know they're in there and
18:47
it's a it's just good to see. I'm proud of those guys.
18:50
I didn't discover them or anything like that.
18:52
I know some misconceptions out there of of that that it and the
18:57
way it went down. They discovered themselves.
18:59
They were already rocking and rolling.
19:01
I just happened to friend the dude on Twitter.
19:04
We just became Twitter friends. I'm going to have him on Tigs
19:07
bits at some point soon. I want to let you know I want
19:11
to, but I want to record it here this year before before we're
19:15
out of the year. It would be awesome if we could
19:17
have them all and it we just all kind of went around and shot the
19:21
shit. But I may just just bring in
19:23
Andrew Solo to start with and because because I want to know
19:27
their whole story. Like I've known a little bit.
19:30
Andrew and I speak a good bit, but I don't know the total depth
19:36
of how did he get started in the radio business and all of that.
19:40
I want to know the hour long Tiggy Tiggy Koppel interview of
19:47
of what? What the Hell's happening here?
19:49
Tiggy Walters, if you will. Tiggy Walters.
19:56
That's Tiggy concrete. It's Tiggy Concrete.
20:00
Good night. Yes.
20:02
Yeah, but. Tiggy Carson.
20:04
Yeah, dude, it'd be. That'll be fun.
20:07
It'll be fun. Oh yeah, I got to give a shout
20:10
out. I'd love to go.
20:12
I would be the best would be to go to their show and be on their
20:15
show or vice versa do a live in person show.
20:19
That would be fun. I just want to be in the same
20:21
room with John Bird, you know what I mean?
20:25
Like I want to. I think the world's a better
20:27
place. Well, because they are because
20:28
they do theirs together. If if the you know, unless
20:31
everybody did it separate and that's not their setup it but
20:33
you know, it works. That's right.
20:35
We all have we have individual studios.
20:37
They have a studio built for the group and they have a producer
20:41
that's in his house, you know, turning knobs.
20:43
Oh yes, it's like a well, it's a straight up radio station.
20:46
I, I did an in studio podcast the other night and yeah, yeah,
20:57
got a little feedback from some of the people, some of the Bubba
21:00
Army folks too. That what they watch it.
21:02
They tried to watch it and they were like, can't even hear it.
21:05
The audio was bad. And they had good equipment too.
21:09
They had good equipment. Well, you have to turn your mics
21:12
down a little bit and you know, it was live streamed.
21:16
It's just not it just they didn't have muff muffles or
21:20
whatever over their mics, which sometimes you don't, but those
21:23
you did just, you know, where was it?
21:27
It was in a place I'm not going to name the business because.
21:30
It's a place, but it was somewhere.
21:33
Yeah, local here in Baton Rouge it was and they built a podcast
21:37
studio. But here's the thing, and you'll
21:38
know immediately what I'm talking about.
21:40
The room is glass, has a big glass window, glass and then
21:47
hardwood floor. I do believe it was hardwood.
21:49
If not, it was very, very thin carpet and then just a wall, you
21:53
know, and it was probably as big as this room.
21:56
It was bigger than this room. It was probably AI don't know,
22:00
probably a 10 by 10 by 12, something like that.
22:04
Probably about the size of this room.
22:06
Actually, when it when it's closed in, they had an event
22:10
going on, so there was a lot of noise on the outside, but once
22:14
the door was closed, you couldn't really hear that too,
22:16
too bad. But it was just the the glass
22:20
wall. But they didn't have so the
22:21
wall. No sound.
22:22
No sound. No.
22:23
Treatment on the wall at all? None.
22:26
Oh yeah, that's terrible. That's the worst place to do it.
22:29
That's the worst place to do it. Absolutely.
22:31
Just the echoes. Drag in some mattresses, start
22:34
nailing up some comforters on the wall.
22:36
You got to get something to keep that sound down.
22:38
Even mine's not great, but. Your mic makes up but but the
22:43
mic makes up for it and it's that same kind of mic.
22:46
Even though this is a the cheaper model of your same mic,
22:50
it still does it takes out you don't hear a lot of background
22:53
noise and theirs was a Rode mic. They were good mics, but they
22:57
they were running through a board.
22:58
They just have the the just have the mics too high.
23:01
You just have to, it's trial and error.
23:04
It's all that shit that I did that first year that we had a
23:07
podcast. I learned how to how to adjust
23:11
it and, and have the benefit. It always sounds better whenever
23:16
I can take it and then put it into Premiere Pro and then bring
23:19
the show out because I can truly level everybody's audio, bring
23:24
it up and all that. They're not doing that with
23:26
their podcast. It's just strictly a live show.
23:29
So I get it. It's tough.
23:31
That's why we don't do it in person.
23:32
You have to have a professional ass studio full on with with
23:37
great mics like yours. Even my mind these mics would
23:41
work in a room, but they're not as not as good as yours.
23:45
And it's just it takes it takes a lot to do it.
23:47
So it's just the the boys get over the line in a great
23:51
situation. And they do have the space.
23:54
Yeah. Because when we, we've done
23:55
when, when Justin and I, you did his podcast, we would do some
23:58
random places and we would do some studios.
24:01
I mean, we did a nice studio in Nashville.
24:03
We did, you know, just random setups places.
24:07
I mean, we did one. Well, Cody was on Zoom and he,
24:11
yeah, Cody was sitting outside in a Blizzard and we recorded 11
24:14
time he was in Nevada in the Blizzard.
24:17
Main thing was good mics and just running through, running
24:25
through the Internet system. You good?
24:27
Yeah. Running through good Internet.
24:28
Yeah. Is the main good?
24:29
Yeah. But but the good mic, these good
24:32
quiet mics like this, these are huge.
24:36
You've got, I mean, it's the it's, it is imperative you.
24:39
Have and then cameras too. We always use good good Sony
24:42
cameras and then dump them together.
24:44
But like I don't know if anybody's watching this.
24:46
Hopefully you are Hey everybody up here now I've got the an old
24:52
iPhone that I just upgraded to an iPhone 17.
24:56
So my iPhone 14 is actually my webcam.
24:59
Camera. Yeah, yeah, that's what I use
25:01
for my camera too. It's the best camera as as as
25:05
many people say, it's the best camera, the best camera that you
25:08
can have or you can use is the one that you have in your
25:11
pocket. Especially, I mean, an iPhone,
25:14
my iPhone 11 still takes great pictures, you know, but I've
25:19
upgraded to the Pro too. It's just saying it, it helps
25:23
with all the tailgate content and all that stuff that I've
25:26
been getting. It's been that's been wild
25:29
couple more games to go with the tailgate footage, so that'll be
25:33
that'll be fun. I'm.
25:34
Going to start I got to start getting some I I just I got my
25:37
new. Oh, you got your wireless mics?
25:40
Yeah. I got the micro.
25:43
Hell yeah. Perfect.
25:44
OK. They I used them, I used and the
25:47
only thing is you just plug them in the bottom of your phone, but
25:50
I used, I used them the other day with my friend Terry.
25:56
Terry Lee Palmer, guitar Slinger extraordinaire.
26:00
He and his wife Chelsea were in town last week and we recorded a
26:03
few videos for his condominium. He has just some promo stuff to
26:08
put out and just a few little random things to promote their
26:11
condo they're going to rent out. And man, they work great.
26:16
It's a game changer. Oh, game changer.
26:18
I see what you're doing now. It's a game changer.
26:21
It is, it is. It helps, man, and it's just
26:24
better than the phone. Now, if you're your phone is
26:26
perfect, if you're just in a in a room, No, no background, no,
26:30
you know, they're really crazy. Yeah.
26:32
Then it that's more than fine. You don't need, you don't need
26:36
mics for that. But if you're those things
26:38
interviewing people or you have somebody else that you're
26:40
talking to, you're walking through whatever.
26:43
Did you see my do you see my video I did about the Hank
26:46
Junior cigars? I'm not.
26:49
I did a little video backstage. One of our last shows were out
26:52
in California and my friend Tristan was there and he's a,
26:55
he's a adventure sport photographer and filmographer.
26:59
So I let him use my camera and I've used them for the first
27:03
time for that. I was just standing in a room.
27:05
Oh man, it it sounded much better.
27:07
OK, yeah, I'll let you go and go check that out.
27:10
Yeah, I was telling the story about I got I'd ended up with
27:12
some of Hank Junior's leftover cigars at the end of his tour
27:15
this year. So I brought them to me and I
27:18
partook. They were a delish.
27:20
I got 2 left for our last two shows.
27:23
Thanks, Hank. Hell yeah.
27:25
Thanks, Hank. It's unbelievable.
27:28
Yeah. Good.
27:29
Wow. That's crazy.
27:31
Yeah, he was. They were really and truly he
27:33
is. They were.
27:34
They were. He is truly Yeah.
27:37
They were in his. They were in his bus.
27:38
They were his. He.
27:39
It was like 8 of them. Wow.
27:41
Because they have to keep plenty around in case he wants some.
27:44
But then at the end of the year he went back home.
27:46
They're not using the bus until next whatever may.
27:49
They don't play shows. They only do 20 something shows
27:51
a year. So they weren't going to sit on
27:53
the they weren't going to keep on the bus until then.
27:55
They had the little packs in it. They didn't have a humidor if
27:57
they had the little humidity packs in them, so.
28:00
I mean, they need to be smoked. That's what I said that way.
28:04
Well, that's what I said. It's like they're going to save
28:05
them and I'm like, what am I going to save them for?
28:07
Show, I mean, and they're good cigars.
28:10
This was, yeah, this was on. Hey, I mean, you could save the
28:14
butt and be like, that was a Hank.
28:16
That was a Hank William. I thought about that then I'm
28:18
like, you know, it was like he gave it to me.
28:21
If he to give it to me and it had his name on or something he
28:23
gave it to me or we smoked one together, maybe I would have.
28:26
But no, it was just some that could have could have belonged
28:30
to him. But he didn't partake so.
28:32
Hank is Hank doesn't say a whole lot backstage, or does he?
28:36
Is he a? Talker or I don't know.
28:38
I've never. I have only been around him a
28:39
handful of times and it's really not.
28:41
I don't get that close, but not usually.
28:46
He's just doing what he's got to do.
28:47
He's in it out usually I think. Yeah, I mean, he's earned that
28:51
right? I would be too.
28:53
I know he loves to fish and hunt and do all that stuff and I I've
28:57
seen him on some fishing shows and he's, he seems to be a
29:01
little more talkative when he's doing what the hell he wants to
29:04
do. Yeah, exactly.
29:06
Exactly. Yeah, give him Yeah, that's what
29:09
they always say. If you want him to not talk to
29:11
you, go up to him, talk about some music stuff.
29:13
If you want him to talk to you, go up to him and talk about some
29:15
Turkey hunting or some metal detecting.
29:19
And Civil War artifact find and that kind of stuff and he'll.
29:23
Oh, he's into all of that, too. Oh yeah.
29:26
Oh yeah. He's big into that down.
29:28
You know, they're all those battles around central Tennessee
29:31
there. He did that growing up and
29:32
stuff. And then even now I think he
29:34
still does all the goes and looks for stuff at battle sites
29:39
and things like that. Yeah, Yeah.
29:43
Well, I wanted to bring this up just something random.
29:48
I, I don't, I don't have notes, but I have a couple of things.
29:51
And we just simply we talked about it on Facebook, you and I
29:54
in the in in our tigs bits group on Facebook go like it tigs bits
30:01
and bytes just go over there. Our Tigs Bits and Pieces
30:06
actually is the name of the group because it's everything
30:09
that is not going to make the main main channel, but we have
30:13
some good folks in there. A bunch of Bubba Army people are
30:16
in there as well. And our boy Jason Hilton, one of
30:20
the OG fans of the show, he's been making some of these
30:25
amazing, I guess you would call it, I guess brackets, for lack
30:29
of a better term, like 16 seeds, you know, 11 bracket.
30:35
You have to pick one. He's been doing this now for a
30:38
few weeks and he's been, he's been making some pains.
30:41
They've been fun. I love them too.
30:44
I did find the one that he had with all the the chicks to be
30:48
almost a setup to get you into like this is a setup.
30:53
I ain't answering that. I was about to write in Halle
30:56
Berry, OR and then I thought I'd better put my wife.
30:58
And then I thought, I'm just not going to answer this one.
31:01
No, I'm out, I'm out. But either one of the Sydney's,
31:05
there's my answer. But he also had one of the, one
31:10
of my favourites was Best Guy Time and real quickly that was
31:16
an amazing one. Of course you're seeing it if
31:19
you're watching this, but if you're not, you're listening to
31:22
this. I'll just give you the one.
31:24
I'm going to give you the seeds and in the matchups you have the
31:28
one seed bachelor party versus 16 seed concert.
31:33
Which one you taking in that Jr. I mean, I have a feeling.
31:37
Probably concert. Yeah, I'm 100% taking concert
31:41
period. I mean, there's a major upset.
31:44
I think concert is ranked way too low.
31:48
Unless bachelor party is not in the old 80s nineties sense we
31:53
think of, but in a some kind of new cool sense where everybody
31:56
goes up to some resort and you know, does a spa goes does some
32:00
cool something maybe, you know, fishing something with that
32:03
maybe. But not old school.
32:05
Go to somewhere to go to old nasty strip club and you know,
32:09
make fun of somebody get drunk and somebody get in a fight and
32:12
somebody get arrested on that old crap.
32:15
Yeah, exactly. But if it's a new cool one and
32:18
we're going to Tahiti and for a week of spa and snorkeling now,
32:22
hey, that's got a bachelor party I go to.
32:26
It's correct. I mean, bachelor party not so
32:29
bachelor party should be up high for sure, but I mean like in the
32:35
next matchup you have bonfire versus fantasy football.
32:39
Like bonfire would have been a better matchup against bachelor
32:43
party. You know what I mean?
32:44
Then concert. Concert's not a 16 seed.
32:48
That's ridiculous. But anyhow.
32:50
And Bonfire's underrated man Bonfire's.
32:52
Bonfire very underrated, very underrated.
32:55
So that's going to, I mean, and fantasy football drafts can be
33:00
fun for sure, but generally they're a little hectic and you
33:04
better stay sober so, you know. Yeah, and I've never done a big
33:07
elaborate. It's a couple hours at best.
33:09
It's not like a. Yeah, so I agree, Bonfire moves
33:13
on. So you have Concert versus
33:16
Bonfire now to go to the final four.
33:20
OK, I'm doing taken, preferably bonfire after the concert, but I
33:29
just go with bonfire, man. If we got to, we can do
33:32
whatever. Just the end the day out at a
33:33
fire somewhere at dark, getting everything ready, play some
33:37
tunes or just watch the stars man shoot.
33:40
You kidding me? I get it, I get it.
33:43
I'm going. I'm going concert, Concert It is
33:47
concert. I'm going to.
33:48
I'm going to take concerts. I mean, you've been to plenty of
33:52
concerts, Jr. You've been to have.
33:53
Concerts and I've been to Bonfire.
33:57
There, that's I believe that. At one point it was I was
34:00
bonfire heavy, but at this point my you're.
34:03
Very concert heavy for concert heavy ready to get.
34:07
Back to some more bonfires, I can tell you that.
34:09
That sounds very nice and it looks like by the time y'all are
34:13
listening to this it's going to be pretty cool across America
34:16
and and a bonfire weather baby. It should be.
34:20
We're into November boat day versus bar hopping.
34:29
Back in the day I'd have probably picked bar hopping, you
34:34
know, but nowadays I'm definitely saying boat day with
34:39
my. Wife I'm taking boat day all
34:40
all. Wife and a couple of sets of
34:42
buddies. Shoot, that's as good day as
34:44
you're going to get. We're just wife and the dog.
34:46
Yes, Anyway. I'm just get me on the.
34:48
Water. Yeah, I go.
34:49
We go with my buddy and his wife and their kids.
34:51
Sometimes I you know, it's just get out on the water is great.
34:55
Water kind of straightens you up, Boat kind of straightens you
34:58
up a little bit. You can't act too buffoon real.
35:00
You get hurt. Boats are dangerous.
35:02
Everything's sharp and hurt, cuts and hurts you get.
35:04
Sick. Yeah.
35:07
Kids even got to behave. It's always a treat when you get
35:11
to stop and get off the boat. So it's like even if you go to
35:13
three different places in a row, you're like, oh, I should get a
35:15
burger and something true, you know, each place better get a
35:19
snack. Might be Gilligan's Island.
35:20
We may never get anything again. Stock up, you know.
35:25
And especially if you're not driving the boat and man the
35:28
number one that's. When you got to be careful.
35:30
Yeah, but the biggest, the best way to go on even a boat ride,
35:33
and I've done this a lot in my life, be a have a friend with a
35:37
boat and just be their helper and go on a boat to kick in on
35:40
the gas or buy the ice or beer or something.
35:43
That's the best. You're good to go.
35:45
That's a yes. Same.
35:47
Absolutely the same. All right.
35:49
Boat day it is. I agree.
35:51
Tailgate versus casino, Yeah, I mean, we know where I we know
35:57
what I'm taking on this one. I'm not a gambler, so I'm really
36:00
not going to do the casino thing.
36:04
So tailgate all day, a good tailgating afternoon.
36:07
Oh, especially if you get up enough, you have.
36:09
And back in the day, it was always fun if you know you had
36:12
too much fun if you missed the event you were there tailgating
36:15
for. It's true.
36:17
I went to four Talladegas in a row and never saw a damn lap
36:20
from the inside of the. Oh yeah, Hell yeah.
36:26
Yeah, Tailgate. It definitely is, obviously.
36:30
So now to advance to the final four, you have boat day versus
36:37
tailgate. We both agree on both of those.
36:41
I'm going, obviously, and Oh my God, that's tough.
36:45
That is tough, tough, tough. But I'm still going with
36:48
tailgate. You can do a lot more at a
36:51
tailgate. Obviously I'm a big tailgate
36:54
guy. It's part of the whole gimmick
36:56
of what we have on Tigs Bits. A big portion of our views comes
37:00
from tailgate footage. Yeah, I'm taking tailgate.
37:04
Yeah, I get it. I get it.
37:06
I love tailgating as well. But you know, growing up on a
37:08
lake and I living by the Gulf, I got to go with.
37:11
I live, I mean on my way walking into the studio, looking back
37:16
behind the studio that way is the intercoastal waterway one
37:20
street over. I saw the top of a barge going
37:22
through as I was walking in. That's how close I am to the
37:24
water. I got to go with boat day.
37:27
I enjoy a good boat day and I this past week Terry and Chelsea
37:30
were in town and Theresa and I, we took them out on the boat and
37:33
it was one of the cold, windy days we had overcast wasn't a
37:35
very good day for a boat, but we wanted to go since because they
37:38
were in town. We just tucked back in some
37:40
little channels and just put it around for a couple hours, stop
37:43
and got something to eat and put it on back the Marina even.
37:47
That was fun just getting on the boat because to me it's almost
37:49
like it's almost like disconnecting, even though
37:52
you're still connected because you can get on your phone and
37:54
this and that. But it's just different.
37:55
Like I said, you got to be paying attention on the boat
37:57
and, you know, it's just different.
37:59
I don't know, you just, it's kind of like you're, you're
38:01
still where you were already. But once you get on the boat,
38:04
you're unplugging from some part of the rest of it.
38:07
Yeah. It's serious.
38:08
Tailgate you do as well I guess. Because you're not.
38:11
You can. It depends on how hard you go,
38:13
for sure. All right.
38:15
What kind of vibe? For sure watching sports now
38:20
we're on the other side of the bracket, so we'll come back to
38:23
the final four we're going to have.
38:25
We have some different picks there you have watching sports
38:30
is the three seed, BBQ is the 14 seed.
38:34
I'm obviously going with BBQ even though I like to do them
38:39
together. But I got to eat, though.
38:44
Yeah, I got to eat, man. Look at me.
38:46
You kidding me? I'm going to watch you all day
38:49
because you all like to eat. I mean, obviously I'm going to
38:52
watch. I tuck my belly in when I say
38:54
that. Yeah, BBQ man sitting out
38:59
grilling something that's like the bonfire they have.
39:01
Bonfire and well, we're we're lucky because where we live we
39:05
do a lot of these in conjunction.
39:07
I know you and I both can have a bonfire grilling and an outdoor
39:11
living space television with sports on.
39:14
And I'm doing. A stereo system with a concert
39:17
playing a. 100% all for all at the same time.
39:21
Yes, happens frequently in in this room.
39:25
And probably more or less list also.
39:29
There are, there are. I just thought about like, well,
39:32
I do two or three of those regularly.
39:35
At the same time. At the same exact time, Yeah.
39:38
And have the TV, have the TV and not turn down the stereo with
39:42
the music playing with the yacht rock or the 80's rock or
39:45
whatever we've got playing. Just turn the TV up louder to
39:48
try to get in what I wanted to hear on this play or whatever it
39:51
was or the news, and then turn it back down and turn the radio
39:54
up some more. And next thing I know I'm like,
39:56
whoa, we got to turn it down the whole neighborhood.
39:57
So let's do the same thing we are.
40:00
Exactly. We forced totally guilty, guilty
40:05
pick up basketball versus rodeo. I mean, I I'm not a huge fan of
40:13
either. I know you played hoops, but
40:15
I'm. Going to take back in the day
40:17
Hoops was a good time, but I'd say this, I love animals.
40:22
So I always think rodeos are cool and it's one of America's
40:25
best thing past times. But, and as a young man, a
40:30
single young man, you know, you probably got a better chance of
40:34
talking to some ladies at the rodeo or a dirt track race or
40:38
something like that than you would play and pick up
40:40
basketball. Goodnight out there usually.
40:42
Only a couple. Yeah, back in the day, I mean,
40:45
it's pick up could be different, but usually if there are any
40:48
chicks in there, they're with their boyfriend or something, or
40:51
they are serious about playing basketball.
40:53
They're not trying to flirt or nothing.
40:55
They're trying to play hoops. They try to get their workout on
40:57
like we are. You know, it's competition.
41:00
But it also depends if you're just going to a rodeo.
41:03
Now rodeos are fun too, because they usually have a concert in
41:05
conjunction with them as soon as the rodeos over.
41:08
Very. There you go.
41:09
Like the Houston rodeo, we've played it a few times and most
41:12
of the rodeos, like the concert, is in the same place the rodeo
41:16
is. So as soon as the rodeos over,
41:18
they just put all the animals up.
41:19
They open one end of the arena. They a truck pulls the stage in.
41:23
We we were there earlier that day, making sure it worked.
41:25
They load it all back up, push it out, bring it in, make sure
41:28
everything's on. And we play the show.
41:29
And it usually it rotates because you're in a rodeo arena.
41:33
Yeah. So if you watch any of those
41:35
video, videos are straight and stuff, That's what he's usually
41:37
at a big rodeos you do, you're rotating.
41:40
I'm taking rodeo. I'm going to take rodeo.
41:43
Yeah, I'm going with rodeo too, because for all the
41:46
aforementioned things. So rodeo versus BBQ, real quick
41:51
with me, BBQ, I'm going to take BBQ is in my final four.
41:56
All right, all right. Now this is where you and I,
41:59
This is why this whole little segment is happening.
42:02
For those out there fishing versus sitting on the couch,
42:06
obviously I am going to take fishing all day long on that.
42:13
Yeah, fishing is a seven seed. I think that's a little high or
42:17
low, whatever. I think it should be lower.
42:19
I think it should be like a three or four seed.
42:21
Brad, Brad Paisley wrote a song about.
42:23
I'm going to miss her, you know. Exactly.
42:27
It's him, it's her, it's her fishing.
42:30
Well, I'm going to miss her. That's it.
42:34
Oh. Looky there, I got a bite.
42:37
Exactly. Yeah, fishing, fishing.
42:40
Well, fish should be like a. 1/2 for sure.
42:44
And then the last ones round of golf or poker night.
42:50
I like both. I'm going to take poker night.
42:53
That can be a little bit more fun.
42:55
You can intertwine A bonfire, a fantasy football draft, bar
42:59
hopping, A tailgate, a casino and poker night all and BBQ all
43:04
into the same day and fishing. And I have, I've done all of
43:09
those. As I look at I have the joy of
43:12
being able to look at this. I've done all of them in the
43:14
same day. Yeah, I was thinking that
43:16
earlier. I've, I've done a lot of these
43:17
in the same day, maybe not the same exact time, but later that
43:20
day, go do that, come back, do that, do that later that night.
43:23
Yeah, for sure. That was tough because I don't
43:27
really gamble at all and I don't play golf anymore at all.
43:32
Same I would pick. I just enjoy the camaraderie
43:36
above. Yeah, yeah, Last I remember,
43:38
golly get when I used to drink party in Tuscaloosa, I got
43:41
invited some private poker thing or something.
43:43
I got all pissy and me and my brother about to fight someday.
43:46
It was awful. Same with golf.
43:48
Last time I went and played golf, I think I broke some of my
43:50
clubs, threw them in the lake and hadn't played in 20 years.
43:53
But I would pick golf because I do love riding a golf cart and I
43:56
love being outside and I don't mind.
44:00
I like I I should play, I should be playing golf, I should play
44:02
golf, but I just don't. Yeah, I like, I still like to go
44:06
to top golf and stuff like that. I take Riley, he likes to go to
44:10
hit. We'll go to the driving range.
44:11
We don't ever play around though.
44:14
But I'm I'm going poker night. Even though I love a round of
44:18
golf simply because I know it is facing fishing.
44:22
It doesn't matter which one for me.
44:24
Fishing goes to the final four, which leads to barbecue versus
44:30
fishing. I take fishing.
44:35
I think I'm going to take fishing also.
44:38
Yep, it's tough. Over barbecuing.
44:42
Very tough. It's very tough, but I have put
44:45
thought into this, as much as I love to fish, it has to be
44:49
there. And then you have, we have, I
44:52
have tailgate versus concert, you have tailgate versus
44:56
bonfire. Who makes it to the
44:58
Championship? Going Bonfire.
45:03
Bonfire versus fishing for Jr. Tailgate versus fishing for
45:12
Tiggy. Who you got?
45:15
Who wins? I'm going bonfire and I'm just
45:17
hoping we're off on some land somewhere near some water and
45:20
we've already been doing some fishing.
45:21
By the ponds. Yeah, we got some trot lines
45:24
out, but we're doing a bonfire somewhere where we can listen to
45:27
some music. Hell, I might even come out of
45:29
retirement and have some drinks and just enjoy being somewhere
45:34
looking up some stars. Watching that crackle of that
45:36
fire buddy is majestical. Think about how it's another
45:40
random randomness. Think about how long people been
45:42
staring at a fire. As long as we can imagine as.
45:47
Long as the first person who ever seen a flame stared at that
45:51
sucker and we have not took our eyes away yet.
45:53
We love looking at a fire. I do I I look at them every time
45:56
it's. Mesmerizing.
45:57
It just is. It's.
45:59
It's never the same. It's never the same.
46:01
It's. Never the same.
46:02
And the colors and everything, it's amazing.
46:04
My neighbor, he down the street, he loves building fires.
46:08
He he'll go through a cord of wood.
46:09
We live in Baton Rouge, you know what I mean?
46:12
But he. I never do here.
46:15
But he's got he's got a nice little fire pit out outside and
46:20
we can build, he can build some some pretty damn good fires.
46:23
He did it the other day. I went over there.
46:24
I was in shorts in a short sleeve shirt.
46:27
He had a fire out there. So I get 74° dude, it's like.
46:32
I know the but OK, The kind, yeah.
46:34
When I live in Nashville, I had them regularly.
46:37
I mean, I had fires all I had a burn pit.
46:39
I just had a fire pit and I would build fires out there.
46:41
I had a fireplace inside. I had one at one time.
46:44
I just don't like you're smelling like smoke.
46:46
I'm bougie like that, you know what I mean?
46:48
Unless I'm outside at this in the field bonfire.
46:53
Exactly, And this was a little way from the house, but and you
46:56
know, like then I smoked cigarettes so you know, it
46:58
didn't and much, but it just was colder there.
47:02
We had a lot more cold, cooler nights in Nashville down here.
47:05
It's so rare. I mean, I have a little, you
47:07
know, burn pit thing. We only do it a handful of times
47:10
a year at best, because when it's cold down here, it's bitter
47:12
and I don't want to sit outside. I'm like, I'm going in.
47:14
Right. Yeah, that's very true.
47:16
It is a different. I think about think about that
47:17
when people talk about wanting to go camping and stuff and I'm
47:20
like, I grew up on a lake and you know, it was kind of a cabin
47:24
and stuff basically. So basically I've camped my
47:26
whole life. I'm kind of good on all that.
47:28
I'll just my granddad used to always say that he's like, why
47:30
we won't go sleep outside. We got a house.
47:32
He's like, I worked my whole life trying to get a house.
47:34
I got running water in here. You kidding me?
47:36
We're sleeping in here. I mean, I get if I need to for a
47:41
hunting trip, fishing trip got to make, you know, I can be
47:44
prepared for the for the mission, but I'm good.
47:47
I'm just going to sleep up inside and and and the bet and
47:50
you guys got it figured out as good as anybody down there in
47:52
Louisiana. And we do OK here in Alabama.
47:55
But you go down there to hunter fish, you leave somebody's house
47:57
and think, man, I hope it's not roughing it too bad.
48:00
Then hell, where you get it's as nice as the house you left the
48:02
hunting police or the hunting camp, the the the house boat or
48:07
the the camp or whatever it is is as good or nicer and like
48:10
it's just it's. Perfect dude, I've been to some.
48:13
Crappy ones are nice. Unbelievable.
48:17
Yeah. Even crappy was fine.
48:19
It's just a, it's just a trailer house on the water, but that's
48:21
all you need and it's better, you know, you're out there.
48:24
With like a six burner Viking stove and oven and outdoor,
48:28
yeah, it's unbelievable. And all the ammunition and stuff
48:33
to shoot at and catch. Everything you need.
48:34
Imagine. I've got a one of my friends.
48:37
He, the place that he goes to in North Louisiana has one of those
48:42
old Old Hickory smokers at like restaurants.
48:47
You, you know what I'm talking about?
48:48
Like one of those big ones. Unreal, unreal.
48:52
And it's just that said, they have a he has a full smoke
48:55
house. It's a modern brand new place,
48:58
full smoke house. So they can make like 500 lbs up
49:03
to 500 lbs of sausage and whatever they whatever you want
49:06
to smoke. Just a crazy, one of the
49:09
craziest camps. Yeah.
49:10
That it's it's a whole other world out there with I I just I
49:15
wish I had that kind of money. I don't maybe maybe that can
49:18
happen if y'all keep watching the show guys come on game.
49:22
Free and supporting the. Show we'll make content from
49:25
this bad ass camp that we are years and years away from
49:28
having, but you got to hope and dream big.
49:32
Oh. My God if we had a tig bits camp
49:34
that would be amazing. By the way, I take Tailgate for
49:37
the TO to wrap it up on my end. I don't know if I said it, I
49:39
can't remember. Tailgate wins for me and our
49:42
