• 1:51
  Super Bowl Sunday. Yeah, here we go.
• 1:53
  It was like, hell, yeah dude, that's what I'm talking about.
• 1:56
  That's it's awesome And I love everything that happens at props
• 2:01
  and Chad tells me all these things all the time.
• 2:03
  You know, we're we're texting. He lives very.
• 2:07
  Close to props because I live here.
• 2:10
  Yeah, I mean he he doesn't live at props, but he might as well
• 2:14
  live at props. And they just said they would.
• 2:16
  They. Would set me up a little, you
• 2:17
  know, a cot back here and everything if I needed it in
• 2:20
  this little backroom. So you never know, man.
• 2:22
  You never know. Exactly, exactly.
• 2:24
  But so he tells me that, hey, we're going to, we're going to
• 2:27
  enter this chili contest. I'm like, all right, hell yeah.
• 2:30
  So we kind of, you know, we're spit balling throughout the week
• 2:34
  and and then it goes down. So tell us, let let's start
• 2:37
  that. First of all.
• 2:38
  What? What?
• 2:38
  What? I want to hear what was on that
• 2:40
  brunch menu. Well, you know, so I didn't eat
• 2:45
  brunch in all fairness, I don't know exactly what they have, but
• 2:47
  typically do they, they've got like an omelet station over
• 2:49
  there. They do French toast.
• 2:51
  They do. I mean, they got full spread,
• 2:52
  you know, breakfast food, they've got, they've got some
• 2:55
  lunch stuff as well. So I think they kind of rotate
• 2:57
  some of the items in there. I didn't, I got here at the tail
• 2:59
  end of brunch yesterday, but they were already rocking and
• 3:01
  rolling. So we had to kind of let them
• 3:02
  break that down before we jump in to bringing in our chili that
• 3:06
  we'd already we all brought in like crock pots and stuff, you
• 3:09
  know, and start setting up at the same tables where they're
• 3:11
  doing the, the brunch from. So yeah, man, it was a it was a
• 3:16
  heck of an ordeal yesterday. It was.
• 3:18
  It was super cool though. Yeah, man, Yeah.
• 3:20
  So as we're talking about this a little bit and and and let me
• 3:25
  bring, let me bring Jr. into the conversation hopefully.
• 3:28
  Jr. The Handler.
• 3:30
  There he is. There he is handler.
• 3:32
  There he is. Gang, gang, baby, what's going?
• 3:35
  On fellas, Sir. All right, I can hear and see
• 3:38
  y'all now. Sorry about.
• 3:39
  That, oh, you look a lot crisp and clear now.
• 3:41
  Yeah, absolutely perfect. Did you call Elon up and get him
• 3:44
  to reshift that thing around a little bit?
• 3:46
  Right, I called. I called Space Force and said,
• 3:49
  hey, move your rockets around, you're messing up my signal to
• 3:51
  Tigs bits. Damn it.
• 3:52
  Damn it. Exactly, man.
• 3:54
  Exactly. So we're we're just recapping
• 3:57
  kind of going in places once again at props and kind of
• 4:02
  talking about the the brunch had over the weekend and the chili,
• 4:07
  the chili cook off that was had yesterday.
• 4:09
  So look as we kind of like to do these days we like to document
• 4:14
  things. So yeah I said place walk us
• 4:16
  through this. I didn't get everything that you
• 4:18
  sent Chad but I do have a little bit of the here we go, we're at
• 4:22
  this chili cook off and this is what's happening a little midway
• 4:26
  through report there was allegedly buzz buzz around props
• 4:32
  at the chili was amazing and and then the results.
• 4:35
  So let's just let's just see what it is.
• 4:37
  We'll talk about it. We're here at the very first
• 4:39
  props and chili content. I'm going to lie to you, the
• 4:42
  competition pretty stout. I mean, well we got a really
• 4:45
  good chili dude, but not not going to lie.
• 4:46
  The two Chili's right there. Distributor great.
• 4:49
  I've had a couple more this that's that's a good quality
• 4:52
  chili hub in this thing. But we're out of a good time.
• 4:55
  Still looking for the wind. I'm feeling good at back still.
• 4:58
  So we're going to see check back in later.
• 5:00
  Little update here from the chili cook off.
• 5:02
  All right. So there's there's really good
• 5:04
  buzz going around about that Chili hate to say this but I
• 5:10
  think we might be in the top three.
• 5:15
  It's it's a really good buzz. It's going around walking around
• 5:17
  get some good feel back. We're gonna find out there's
• 5:20
  some really good chili here everything a while We got like
• 5:22
  16 contestants and it's it's strong Chili brother.
• 5:25
  So thanks winner. It's drum roll chili #4.
• 5:45
  Second place is chili number. 6. And 1st place is Chile #2.
• 6:18
  Oh yeah. That's good.
• 6:19
  Stuff. Oh.
• 6:20
  There's, there's, there's my hardware.
• 6:22
  There's my. Hardware I've been.
• 6:24
  Carrying it around just like, you know, just like they did the
• 6:26
  Super Bowl trophy or the Stanley Cup, you know what I mean?
• 6:28
  It's been, it's rolled everywhere with me today, so
• 6:30
  very. It's the first official trophy
• 6:34
  brought into the Tigsbit Show. You know, it's the first time
• 6:37
  I've ever entered any kind of a cooking competition like that,
• 6:40
  so I was pretty pumped up about this man, as I told.
• 6:43
  You. I will say.
• 6:44
  I will say, folks, he was beyond pumped up.
• 6:46
  He promised a victory. But I mean, we're not going.
• 6:49
  So I'm a little confused about the place.
• 6:51
  I put that little video together and as I'm watching him like,
• 6:54
  wait, green shirt guy that went first, Did he win?
• 6:57
  No. Did the guy with the red shirt,
• 7:00
  who the hell won? I don't understand.
• 7:02
  We finished third. Really.
• 7:03
  But that's a second place trophy.
• 7:06
  Why? I'm confused man.
• 7:08
  As far as I know, I finished second.
• 7:09
  No, the the the first guy in the green that they announced, she
• 7:13
  said. The first winner, the first
• 7:14
  winner. She was trying to say like
• 7:16
  you're all winners and then she. Went 3/2.
• 7:17
  One, yes, it was 321. Yeah, in in that order.
• 7:20
  So, yeah, yeah, yeah, great. Buddy, Good job, Blaci.
• 7:23
  Yeah, good job on the TV. It was a blast, man.
• 7:26
  I actually had a really good dude.
• 7:28
  I was kind of nervous. There's two guys to my left who
• 7:29
  didn't place in this Dick. Chili was amazing.
• 7:32
  And they do this stuff a lot in these chili competitions.
• 7:35
  They're not even from here. I was expecting just
• 7:37
  neighborhood people. And I was like, who are these
• 7:38
  cats? And I was like, we done brought
• 7:39
  in some ringers, you know? Did you?
• 7:42
  Did you feel anything 'cause I know we used to do band like a
• 7:45
  few times I've ever been involved in like a Battle of the
• 7:47
  band thing you get, you might have to battle little whole.
• 7:51
  Cookie. That's our dog, Murphy.
• 7:52
  Oh, is it Murphy? Hey, buddy.
• 7:55
  Oh yeah, Murphy the dog. That's a cool dog.
• 7:59
  Hey, Murphy. What could it?
• 8:02
  Well, you know as far as the voting panel, do you think there
• 8:04
  was any pressure like home like home cooking type thing Like I
• 8:07
  know we used to worry about that and we go do battle of bands.
• 8:09
  We're always like, man, whoever's in this area and they
• 8:11
  know all the bartenders, they're going to be the one win it.
• 8:13
  You know, that's probably why I got a second.
• 8:15
  I mean you know I'm just saying it but I I always do Hey, but
• 8:19
  but you're just but, but you're just getting started when you're
• 8:23
  the when you're the when you know for a fact that yours is
• 8:25
  top top dog. You won't even think that.
• 8:28
  I used to tell the band guys that I'm like, if we go in here,
• 8:30
  no matter if there is home cooking and they beat us,
• 8:33
  that's. But there's no way that
• 8:34
  shouldn't happen. It should be undeniable, you
• 8:36
  know what I mean? So yeah, first official
• 8:39
  competition to come in second place.
• 8:41
  I mean, not a lot of room to go from there.
• 8:43
  It's not, you know, but definitely you'll be able to
• 8:47
  dial it in and know, but be going to these competitions
• 8:50
  where you know how yours is going to stand up to these other
• 8:53
  guys and gals, you know. Yeah, man, it was it was cool,
• 8:56
  dude. It was, it was a good learning
• 8:57
  because I found myself kind of doing things a little different
• 9:00
  than I normally do. If I'm just cooking chili at the
• 9:01
  house, you know, like I was over, probably over analyzing it
• 9:04
  a little bit. But it turned out great.
• 9:06
  The chili turned out phenomenal. And I started cooking this two
• 9:08
  days in advance. I was smoking my ground beef,
• 9:10
  smoking my sausage, had my link sausage, ground sausage.
• 9:14
  And dude, I'm smoking it first, you know what I mean?
• 9:16
  I'm staging this thing. I'm, you know, I'm really being
• 9:19
  precise about how I'm doing my dumps with my seasoning, doing
• 9:22
  dump one, not crushing my meat up until literally two days
• 9:25
  later. And then I finally start taking
• 9:27
  a Mashed potato masher. I didn't want it to get too
• 9:30
  mushy, you know? So yeah, yeah, it was.
• 9:32
  That was a $48 chili. Incredible.
• 9:34
  Did you watch a lot of videos to on competition chilies and
• 9:38
  things like that? I looked at some stuff you
• 9:40
  adjust. OK.
• 9:41
  The one thing I did is I smoked my the the meat that I've used,
• 9:45
  but I've smoked meat before. I've smoked like, you know,
• 9:47
  Boston, but I've put that in there before.
• 9:49
  I've smoked some beef before and done that, you know, But I've
• 9:52
  just never, I've never done the ground meat and smoked the
• 9:55
  ground sausage. That was that was the only thing
• 9:56
  that I did that I saw on on the video.
• 9:59
  I was like, yeah, let me just go ahead and do that as well, you
• 10:01
  know. So I think it turned out really
• 10:02
  good. I'll, I'll be doing that in the
• 10:04
  future. I'm sure people have cheated and
• 10:06
  used liquid smoke or something to to change that effect
• 10:08
  somewhere down the line. You know, I'm.
• 10:10
  Sure, they I saw some recipes that, you know, call for liquid
• 10:12
  smoke. Yeah, just and.
• 10:15
  You can smoke. Give me heart burning.
• 10:16
  You taste it. You taste it for like, hours
• 10:18
  later, you know. Right.
• 10:20
  Yeah, no doubt. Well, I know and you know that.
• 10:23
  Says Congrats, Blasey and Paul says.
• 10:25
  Crochet. Yeah, I appreciate that.
• 10:27
  It was fun. This was Saturday, right?
• 10:30
  No, this was Sunday. This was yesterday from three to
• 10:32
  five just before the Super Bowl and we rolled this right into
• 10:35
  the Super Bowl. Yeah, right.
• 10:36
  Cherise worked before Grandma had a great.
• 10:39
  Super Bowl meal. I know, right?
• 10:41
  Cherise worked the floor of Bama Chili Cook off.
• 10:44
  It was Saturday, so maybe that's what we need to do.
• 10:47
  You need to come with a schedule at the same next year.
• 10:49
  You need to, you know, just get you a traveling team that
• 10:52
  weekend. You know, maybe that'd be close
• 10:54
  enough for you to to do both. I mean, what, an hour and a
• 10:56
  half? Maybe between the two two hours
• 10:58
  you can do that. Yeah, I think it's a great idea.
• 11:01
  Yeah, I know I'm in. I was in.
• 11:03
  I was in Dodge City, KS Saturday and it was 30° snowing and
• 11:07
  sleeting and cherise is sending me pictures from the chili cook
• 11:09
  off the floor. Bama where 70° and they've got
• 11:12
  chili and I'm up there eating crappy catering.
• 11:14
  So anyway good to be home but yeah but I was keeping up with
• 11:21
  the videos that you were sending because you know not I don't
• 11:24
  think you posted these for everyone but you sent Tigs and I
• 11:26
  videos along the way of you smoking said meat burger meat
• 11:30
  and and different things and and and the combos you were using
• 11:33
  and and man I I was it has me begging for some chili and I
• 11:37
  missed the chili cook off. So I don't know.
• 11:39
  The next time we hook up, I'm going to have to get you to make
• 11:41
  me a batch of that. Lacey Out of the 16 contestants,
• 11:46
  did any of them use beans and yeah.
• 11:50
  Several of them use beans and I debated till the very end and I
• 11:53
  was like, why am I thinking about this?
• 11:55
  I always put beans in my chili. So I put I didn't put a ton of
• 11:58
  beans I didn't like. I go being crazy, but I put the
• 12:00
  beans in there at the very end. Like one of the last things I
• 12:03
  did probably is I'm heating it back up over the last hour and a
• 12:06
  half. You know what I mean?
• 12:07
  Let those beans kind of just roll on in there, So yes.
• 12:11
  I did. Did everyone use anything?
• 12:13
  Did anyone use anything else, like a wild game or any?
• 12:16
  Anything that you wouldn't normally think of?
• 12:18
  Chili, Chicken. Chili Anything weird?
• 12:20
  I didn't see, I didn't see the chicken chili.
• 12:22
  Somebody said they were making a white chili, but I didn't get to
• 12:24
  taste everybody's chili. The guys next to me, they used
• 12:27
  you know, like some beef tips and stuff like that that they
• 12:29
  smoked, they used. I think one guy down there did a
• 12:33
  a brisket. I think there was 1 brisket in
• 12:35
  there and one guy who who's in here, his name's Pat.
• 12:37
  Dude, he had this chili. It was more like a Mexican
• 12:40
  chili, dude. It was so good, you know what I
• 12:42
  mean? It was.
• 12:42
  And he had this Mexican cornbread he made with it.
• 12:44
  Little pieces. He throw a little piece of that
• 12:46
  in there, I was like, man, that's kind of an unfair
• 12:48
  advantage he's got. You know, like in Colorado they
• 12:51
  have the green chili is their thing because they have the
• 12:53
  green type of Peppers they use to make the green Chili's out in
• 12:57
  certain western states. So I just didn't know if maybe
• 12:59
  because I was thinking I got a bunch of that elk meat, Boy, you
• 13:00
  want to take it up a notch you you blend some of that elk.
• 13:03
  I'd love to have some wild game. I was going to do some wild.
• 13:05
  I thought I had more and I was out.
• 13:06
  So I need next time. I have to get with you.
• 13:08
  I'd love to make that tea, yes. Yes, this is.
• 13:11
  As good as that elk with a with a with a Boston butt or
• 13:15
  something like that, because I'm sure the Elks fairly, you know,
• 13:18
  it's pretty lean. Super lean.
• 13:19
  And what I have here is cut a piece with maybe a little pork
• 13:23
  fat just because it's so lean. But I I did this, which I've
• 13:28
  never done before. A couple weeks ago.
• 13:29
  I just took it and made hamburger patties out of frozen
• 13:31
  elk meat. Thought it out made ham or like
• 13:33
  hamburger steak patties. Phenomenal.
• 13:36
  So yeah, I got you on that. That would be because I I'm into
• 13:38
  all that kind of stuff. I love traditional and I like
• 13:40
  beans. I like no beans, but I was just
• 13:43
  wondering if it it what the extent of the yeah man.
• 13:46
  Because you know some of the things there.
• 13:47
  Was a lot of people, dude. They were coming by the table.
• 13:49
  I didn't really get a chance. Like early on.
• 13:51
  I walked over to Pat's and somebody.
• 13:52
  I didn't get to even taste everybody's chili.
• 13:54
  I didn't get to eat a bowl of my own chili.
• 13:56
  It was gone, man. It got powered that two hours,
• 13:58
  you know, I was like, I was hoping I might have enough for a
• 13:59
  bowl other than tasting. And I really didn't get to eat
• 14:02
  it either. But.
• 14:03
  But it it was really busy up here.
• 14:05
  There was a lot of people I've never seen before.
• 14:06
  So it brought in a lot of folks. You know what I mean?
• 14:08
  So. TV guy digs bits, Got on the
• 14:11
  podium on the first time. First dance, baby I love.

• 15:42
  I know we were. I know we were talking about the
• 15:45
  I'd ask what the different crazy things they were doing with the
• 15:48
  chili because you know in cooking competitions the the
• 15:51
  bigger usually gets the crazier because even I know last year
• 15:54
  when they had the because it's Mardi Gras season which we'll
• 15:56
  talk about later the national king cake competition and one of
• 16:00
  the king cakes that won was a boudin king cake and I'm like
• 16:03
  well that's that's not is that really a king cake you know and
• 16:06
  it's kind of like we talk about crawfish when you start throwing
• 16:10
  you know fruit and different certain things in there.
• 16:13
  You know, is that are we going for the crawfish or all the
• 16:15
  other crazy stuff which we can talk about that later too.
• 16:18
  We had talked about having a an actual Tigsbit sponsored Flora
• 16:23
  Bama crawfish boil, but I don't know if we're going to be able
• 16:27
  to do it this year because I don't think there's not ten
• 16:29
  crawfish alive in Louisiana right now, so.
• 16:33
  Exactly, man. Yeah, it's about $40 a sack and
• 16:37
  $40 a pound a pound, right, A pound £1.40.
• 16:41
  A pound I. Thought it was £50.
• 16:42
  It's gone up more now. Oh my God.
• 16:46
  Yeah, but. But there has been there has
• 16:49
  been a little crawfish update. Probably should be a weekly part
• 16:53
  of our show crawfish update hearing with some of the rain
• 16:58
  that we've gotten here and and more rain coming, that's good
• 17:02
  news. May just be a late season,
• 17:05
  probably going to be after Easter, but hopefully there will
• 17:09
  be a season, you know, I mean, hell, if we can get down to to
• 17:13
  $3.00 a pound, oh man, that'd be great.
• 17:16
  I'll take $5 right now and just roll with it, you know.
• 17:20
  Man, there's been so many Super Bowl parties and we'll kind of,
• 17:23
  we'll kind of transition into the Super Bowl for a little bit,
• 17:27
  just kind of recap it. No big breaking news there,
• 17:30
  Everybody saw it. We'll kind of give our thoughts.
• 17:33
  But man, there's been a lot of Super Bowl parties over the
• 17:36
  years where I had a crawfish boil that was the first crawfish
• 17:41
  boil of the season, even though they were expensive and back in
• 17:45
  the day, expensive being like $1.99.
• 17:47
  Like, Oh my God, I can't believe we're going to pay this for
• 17:50
  right? But, but yeah, man, you.
• 17:54
  Folks in Louisiana or or will about prices too.
• 17:57
  It's if it ain't right, y'all won't get them.
• 17:59
  I've seen that. That that's a fact.
• 18:02
  That's a fact. Amanda makes a very good point.
• 18:05
  Shout out to Joe. Joe, he's a GM here.
• 18:08
  He's awesome. He set all this up for me.
• 18:10
  He even came and met me here early.
• 18:11
  He wasn't even supposed to be here.
• 18:13
  He actually wasn't even working today.
• 18:14
  He just came up here and met me and made sure I had everything
• 18:15
  set up for me and everything. And then, like he took off.
• 18:18
  And look, if we go long tonight and that man still there,
• 18:21
  sweeping and mopping the floors, and the place is shut down like
• 18:25
  we did this last time, we all deserve a beating.
• 18:30
  We were not going. To do that, we started late that
• 18:31
  night. We.
• 18:32
  Started. That's right.
• 18:32
  That's right. We started a little on our show.
• 18:34
  That's crazy, you know? Yeah, yeah.
• 18:36
  It just got you didn't. We didn't know how long that
• 18:38
  show would go. So we try to keep it around an
• 18:40
  hour, you know? And I'm actually going to to Big
• 18:43
  Beach Brewery when we get off here because our buddies Paul
• 18:47
  and a friend of ours, Steve, are watching a band there tonight
• 18:49
  and they have a band on Monday night because I was tomorrow's
• 18:53
  Mardi Gras. So I was that's actually where
• 18:56
  I'm going to go. And I think we have a new
• 18:57
  manager there, but I want to talk to him because we maybe we
• 18:59
  can do the whole brewery scene, you know, kind of breweries.
• 19:03
  That would be awesome. There's a good one here not far
• 19:07
  from Baton Rouge that I think would be a good, a good, a great
• 19:10
  place to to set up to. They have just a cool little
• 19:14
  place too. So yeah, I think the brewery
• 19:16
  tour would be fun. There's so many everywhere now
• 19:19
  and and they're all unique. That's what that's what's so
• 19:23
  cool about them. But yeah, let's talk about the
• 19:26
  Super Bowl a little bit for a second.
• 19:29
  You know, I know the handlers got plans tonight, so I don't
• 19:32
  want to try to try to pump this out because we have some things
• 19:35
  to talk about. But quick thoughts on the Super
• 19:37
  Bowl. Man, I have to say one of the
• 19:40
  best Super Bowl games ever. I mean, you know, especially the
• 19:46
  second-half on, you know, it was just as good as you get.
• 19:51
  It really was. And I, and I don't know about
• 19:52
  you guys probably like me, really didn't have a dog in the
• 19:55
  fight. You know, I thought a lot too,
• 19:59
  who was a former Bama tight end was going to be on the roster by
• 20:02
  now, but he didn't play. So didn't have any Bama or Troy
• 20:05
  guys that I'm aware of. I know we had.
• 20:08
  I think 6 people from the state of Alabama with ties that were
• 20:12
  involved with the two teams. I don't know how many of them
• 20:15
  got to actually play and things like that but probably like
• 20:18
  everyone else I was kind of pulling for the Niners because
• 20:21
  I'm tired of seeing Taylor Swift on TV when I'm trying to watch
• 20:24
  football and but I also don't hate Patrick Mahomes.
• 20:29
  I think he's a stud and A and A and just a cool guy and and has
• 20:33
  has I mean and different but kind of like Steph Curry changed
• 20:36
  the game with the with the way he plays because he can do it
• 20:39
  all and always seems to be Family Guy.
• 20:41
  All the all that fun stuff. But I didn't really have AI
• 20:45
  wouldn't sway. I just want it to be a good game
• 20:47
  and by golly we got that. I was excited for Brock Purdy at
• 20:50
  the last pick of the draft to get to be in a Super Bowl you
• 20:53
  know and all those things. I think San Francisco was a
• 20:56
  little dinged up. It seemed early on, and I tell
• 20:59
  you this too, there weren't many penalties.
• 21:00
  There was not many penalties. You know, there weren't of those
• 21:02
  big controversial. Surprising.
• 21:04
  Surprising. With Bill Vinovich being the
• 21:07
  referee, which, seeing that man's ugly ass face just to
• 21:10
  start the whole day brought back memories.
• 21:13
  Like come on dude, we got to we have to do a Super Bowl with
• 21:16
  this ass clown. Was that the guy who?
• 21:18
  What a what a piece of trash. He's terrible on every level.
• 21:22
  I will never forgive him. He's ruined part of my sports
• 21:26
  life. The hell with Bill Vinovich.
• 21:29
  But he the guy who had the call. Called a good, clean game last
• 21:31
  night. Was he the one that called the
• 21:33
  Vikings? No call against us.
• 21:36
  No, he's the one, the pass interference against the Rams
• 21:39
  and. The Rams.
• 21:40
  Championship Yeah. To would have been a gotcha.
• 21:43
  You win Super Bowl. Yeah, but we're.
• 21:46
  Not going to talk about that. But I thought, I thought just a
• 21:50
  game like that with the with the big threats and and they did go
• 21:53
  down the field. So I thought there'd be past
• 21:54
  interference, those ticky tacks, and then you have to go back and
• 21:56
  review for four or five minutes. I thought they did a good job of
• 21:59
  that. They let them play.
• 22:00
  Dude, the The game flowed so well, too.
• 22:02
  Really. You know what I mean?
• 22:03
  It was like that was A to to me, felt like a fast Super Bowl.
• 22:06
  Like, you know what I mean? It was.
• 22:06
  Good first half, definitely. First half was like boom boom
• 22:09
  boom. Out outside of that overtime,
• 22:12
  yeah, I totally get it like go, yeah, that that was a quick, I
• 22:14
  mean it was moving. And they were running the ball.
• 22:18
  Yeah, yeah, they're running the ball.
• 22:19
  They, you know, the the pass plays.
• 22:23
  There was a couple shots down the field in the quick turnovers
• 22:25
  right after and it was just boom, boom, boom, was exciting,
• 22:27
  you know, a really good game. But kind of thought though when
• 22:33
  they you know and I'll tell you I've said this before in
• 22:35
  basketball missing your free throws is going to get you and
• 22:39
  missing an extra point if they hit that extra point.
• 22:42
  This game we we're not even talking about any.
• 22:44
  There was no overtime. They had their all they had to
• 22:45
  do is make their extra point. The guy makes 350 plus yarders
• 22:50
  and then gets it gets the PAT. Yeah, there it is.
• 22:53
  Exactly. Jay that's right.
• 22:54
  I mean the the PAT definitely was the the difference in the
• 22:58
  difference in the game. But my take away from the whole
• 23:01
  deal, I'm sitting, I'm, I'm right here.
• 23:04
  My wife and I are watching, watching it out here on the on.
• 23:07
  The Tammy in the house. Tammy was in and we were
• 23:10
  watching and I looked at her. I went, oh, you see that look?
• 23:15
  He just turned it on. He just turned it on.
• 23:18
  It was it was early in the third quarter.
• 23:20
  He did it again. He did it again.
• 23:23
  Patrick Mahomes is as clutch as Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Joe
• 23:28
  Montana, Wayne Gretzky, all of the greats that you want to put
• 23:33
  up there, that Babe Ruth. I mean, you want to put the
• 23:37
  biggest names that have ever. Been Bernard King.
• 23:40
  I mean, he's hurt. He's hurt.
• 23:41
  He's. Done it over and over again and
• 23:43
  over. Over and over and over again.
• 23:46
  The dude just never freaking stops until he's beaten.
• 23:50
  A lot of people were asking who do you think's going to win?
• 23:52
  And my same answer was, until Patrick Mahomes is beaten, I'm
• 23:56
  going to go with them 9/9 times. 10 out of 10 times.
• 24:02
  I'm going with him every single time.
• 24:03
  And I will until he's beaten. I mean, the dude just knows he
• 24:06
  shows up in big games. It's fun to watch, you know?
• 24:09
  I thought, you know. I thought San Fran had a little
• 24:13
  shot because of how unorthodox they play.
• 24:15
  You know, I was listening the other day on a podcast.
• 24:17
  They were compared to Golden State and Oakland A's as far as
• 24:21
  a team that's really dialed in with analytics and stats because
• 24:25
  you know the average team runs their wide outs.
• 24:27
  The average spread is 29 yards but San Francisco's is 19.
• 24:31
  They run the opposite of everyone else because they're
• 24:33
  going by analytics like when Steph Curry and those guys hit
• 24:35
  all just shot more threes because if you go by the stats
• 24:38
  that should, you theoretically should win.
• 24:40
  And Oakland when they went to the World Series with the lowest
• 24:43
  paid roster there was in 2010. So I thought, you know, and they
• 24:47
  did that guy called a great game.
• 24:48
  It was just Patrick Mahomes will to win because that mean you
• 24:51
  couldn't have called that game any better.
• 24:53
  No, no. I mean, it was a very.
• 24:55
  Fantastic. Super Bowl San Fran.
• 24:56
  In the second quarter when they ran that screen, it was that it
• 24:59
  was a double pass play and they threw that screen pass off that
• 25:02
  double pass to McCaffrey. Dude, that block over there on
• 25:04
  that outside was unbelievable. And of course McCaffrey just
• 25:08
  he's gone end zone. He did that high.
• 25:10
  I said dude, I don't know man. Like I know that KC has the
• 25:13
  ability to get back in this, but I think that's when Kelsey was
• 25:16
  screaming, you know, trying to go.
• 25:18
  I think that was about that point in the game where
• 25:19
  everybody was like, OK, it looks like.
• 25:21
  Which is even if they're cool, even if they're cool.
• 25:24
  Kelsey bumping into the coach on the sidelines with the TV on you
• 25:28
  in the biggest game, unprofessional.
• 25:30
  I know they're cool. That's I do that in practice.
• 25:32
  But you just can't. Everybody's watching, every kids
• 25:35
  watching. So every kids going to go holler
• 25:36
  at their coach when they don't like it from all the way up,
• 25:39
  it's so you. Can't.
• 25:39
  That's a good point. Look, that is one thing that dad
• 25:42
  that that that did not. I don't.
• 25:44
  I don't have a problem with the whole Taylor Swift thing.
• 25:48
  Don't care. My daughters is Swifty.
• 25:50
  I've always liked Taylor Swift. I admire her.
• 25:53
  She's a singer-songwriter, writes her own music.
• 25:56
  She doesn't lip sync. She She does it.
• 25:58
  Yeah, I don't hate Taylor Swift. And I know, you know, I know you
• 26:01
  all when I'm watching foot. Correct.
• 26:03
  Correct. The the circus around it, even
• 26:06
  for she's tired of it. It's not her fault.
• 26:09
  It's not her fault at all. So, but I don't have, I don't
• 26:12
  have a problem with two kids in love.
• 26:14
  They just happen to be famous and all of that.
• 26:16
  All of. That, but it's like it's like
• 26:18
  they show Jack Nicholas on the sideline of the Lakers game and
• 26:20
  then they show whoever and they show whoever, then get back to
• 26:22
  the damn game and we don't see them again.
• 26:24
  That's right. That's all I'm saying.
• 26:25
  Yeah, that's right. Afterwards baby.
• 26:27
  Afterward, Tigs bit So who's the baby there?
• 26:30
  Who's. The baby, I don't know.
• 26:31
  That's just. Baby in a bar.
• 26:32
  Gotta love it. I love it.
• 26:35
  That's just the newest. Tiggy wig or whatever we're
• 26:37
  going to call them side of that. It's like we're it's like we're
• 26:40
  in Louisiana, but we're in props.
• 26:43
  No, but but yeah, I I didn't like the Andy Reid, Chubb, Paul.
• 26:47
  He didn't like it. That's just that's just the
• 26:50
  everybody's watching and then and they and the announcer said
• 26:53
  that they're tight like that because Andy Reid, apparently
• 26:56
  they they're they do that kind of stuff.
• 26:57
  He's cool with it. But still, that's just not what
• 27:00
  it's. Disrespectful to your coach and
• 27:04
  and it just, you know it's it's a bad look.
• 27:08
  It was about as bad as his post game would be.
• 27:11
  Hoorah thing. He tried to get going.
• 27:13
  That sucked. He He bombed.
• 27:14
  Everybody else was great and he tried to do this like bro shit
• 27:18
  and it. Sucked.
• 27:19
  I thought he was terrible afterwards.
• 27:22
  He tried to get him wound up. Everybody was kind of cringy.
• 27:25
  They're like, all right, everybody else is like, thank
• 27:26
  you, appreciate y'all. He's like, come on y'all, let's
• 27:29
  get fired up, dawg. And they're like, they're not
• 27:31
  having it. Nobody was having it.
• 27:33
  You let your girlfriend write, write your lyrics.
• 27:40
  But yeah man, so so the game, of course it was good.
• 27:43
  The conspiracies that are out there, that it was scripted and
• 27:47
  all of that. We haven't.
• 27:48
  We're not going to dive into that.
• 27:49
  But I've, I have it written down.
• 27:51
  I kind of I find it interesting that that people including my
• 27:55
  dad whenever I went to visit my dad yesterday I took him.
• 28:00
  I cooked a brisket wasn't you know it wasn't in a cook off or
• 28:05
  anything just a little subtle brisket being cooked over here
• 28:08
  at Tiggy's. Took a, took him, took him a
• 28:12
  little brisket. And we're sitting there talking
• 28:14
  and and Dad said, yeah, well, I mean you've heard about that
• 28:17
  conspiracy, you know, that's it's the whole thing is for
• 28:21
  they're going to win, Kansas City's going to win the whole
• 28:24
  Taylor Swift thing. And then you know, Joe Biden
• 28:26
  wins, 'cause they're all going to vote for him.
• 28:28
  Like, Dad, who what have you been watching?
• 28:30
  What do you. Yeah, I mean.
• 28:32
  Just stroll through Twitter. Just stroll through Twitter I.
• 28:36
  Think I think, I think, dad. I mean Biden and his crew props
• 28:39
  for doing that. Biden, Did you see that?
• 28:41
  Tweeted that he put out with his?
• 28:43
  I did. With all.
• 28:44
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 28:45
  So I mean, I thought that, yeah, I thought that was a.
• 28:47
  Layer Hey, something that's not play A.
• 28:49
  Fan you? Know and probably the most
• 28:50
  important thing of the whole Super Bowl Did anybody win their
• 28:54
  squares or any of their bets they had on in these games?
• 28:57
  Did. You.
• 28:57
  I won first quarter 250 bucks on a $10 square.
• 29:00
  Absolutely parlayed. Parlayed that second place into
• 29:05
  that and then there was a free board going and I want a $20.00
• 29:07
  gift card on that too. So I got two gift cards, 250
• 29:10
  bucks. Boom.
• 29:11
  Look at you. Nice.
• 29:13
  I don't feel so bad. You made-up for everything I
• 29:15
  lost today. I bet you were.
• 29:18
  With a trick. On my head, yeah.
• 29:20
  You did. So I had a friend last night.
• 29:23
  I don't know what the cost of the squares were to enter, but
• 29:27
  he won $29,000 in the first quarter and he was a little bit
• 29:32
  pumped Needless to say. And then another buddy of mine
• 29:34
  won like $3200 and another deal that they were in, but it's like
• 29:39
  $22150 squares or something. No, I came away non victorious
• 29:47
  in the Square game this year, but that's OK.
• 29:50
  Same. I didn't do as many as I
• 29:51
  normally did. I did five $2.00 squares in one
• 29:55
  thing and I did $210.00 squares in another, but I didn't win
• 29:57
  crap. And then both of them, you know,
• 30:01
  obviously whoever won the second won the third, the same number,
• 30:03
  second, third quarter, you know, different but the same, so
• 30:06
  right. I thought I was going to win the
• 30:07
  second because I had 00 and and then I was like it's about to
• 30:11
  happen again and they kicked that field goal.
• 30:13
  I think they're just the end of the second quarter I was like
• 30:15
  and then now the one guy in here stone, he won the second quarter
• 30:19
  in the third quarter I think. So he hit two in a row.
• 30:21
  He got like. 5 second, second and third were the same because
• 30:25
  BJ on the one I was on was a floor band when BJ won it and
• 30:29
  damn Moore won the one on our road one.
• 30:32
  I'm like and I I want to get some of his money because I he
• 30:36
  didn't pay me. I gave Jeff, our production
• 30:38
  manager hit $10.00 for him because he didn't have $10 cash.
• 30:41
  So I'm going to get something back out of that somehow.
• 30:44
  Somehow just slid away with all the cash.
• 30:46
  I'm like like a damn bandit. He does that on the road too.
• 30:49
  He'll want to do a some kind of game.
• 30:51
  He'll be like 100 bucks. It's all play.
• 30:52
  I'll I'll put everybody's money at what everywhere because he
• 30:54
  always wants he. He's so competitive.
• 30:56
  He knows he's going to work hard everybody else and win.
• 30:59
  I'm like hell, I don't care. I'm gonna sit over here and
• 31:00
  drink in the. Last year they just enjoy it.
• 31:03
  Hope it works. Well, look, I mean what about
• 31:06
  the fun part for people and and this has changed over the years.
• 31:10
  I think everybody that's out there and can can agree that you
• 31:14
  know the commercials that you used to part of the whole fun of
• 31:17
  watching the Super Bowl was to watch the commercials.
• 31:20
  Not a ton of of awesome commercials out there this year.
• 31:25
  In fact, hardly any. I have a little quick ranking
• 31:29
  that that I saw. It was the State Farm with with
• 31:35
  Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito.
• 31:39
  They came. That and #1 Kia had the perfect
• 31:43
  10 commercial. Don't remember it.
• 31:46
  Uber Eats worth remembering. Don't remember it.
• 31:49
  And the NFL Born to Play Don't remember it.
• 31:52
  But I do remember this one. And look, I mean, we're not
• 31:56
  sponsored by the good folks at Dunkin' Donuts.
• 31:59
  But if you missed it, here's a good chance to watch it again.
• 32:03
  It's too good. Check it out.
• 32:09
  I don't think you should do this.
• 32:10
  Last year she came to my work. Now I got to show her what I can
• 32:13
  do. He's here.
• 32:15
  Fleck on the track. What?
• 32:18
  Up Brooks. For your consideration, here
• 32:21
  comes the Boston Massacre, The Donkeys touchdown.
• 32:26
  Tommy on them Keys play a coach. Got it.
• 32:29
  I'm open. And needs no.
• 32:31
  Interaction my partner. Sometimes it's really hard to be
• 32:34
  your friend you said you were going to support.
• 32:39
  Me. How do you like them Donuts?
• 32:46
  I'm so sorry. We had to see it, but I forgive
• 32:47
  you. Lay us on the track.
• 32:49
  Are we going to be on the album? We talked about.
• 32:54
  This. Let's go.
• 32:55
  You're blinded by them pinstripes.
• 32:57
  Wrap it up. Here goes Babe Ruth.
• 32:59
  Tom, you can stay. Do you remember when I told you
• 33:02
  I'd do anything for you? This is anything Show.
• 33:04
  They name it a drink after us. Dang, that's pretty funny.
• 33:08
  I didn't see that. Live.
• 33:09
  I did not see that either. That is good.
• 33:11
  That is really good. Yeah, I think that's that's,
• 33:14
  that's the bet. That's the one for me.
• 33:16
  That's. Awesome.
• 33:17
  I hate you. That's really good.
• 33:19
  The one that that I mentioned to I don't know if I sent you guys
• 33:22
  the link. I know we talked about it
• 33:23
  Blasey. But the one before that, the NFL
• 33:25
  Born to Play. I think that was the one that
• 33:27
  former Troy alumni OC Majora was on.
• 33:31
  And I mentioned I had classes though, so he was around.
• 33:34
  He was in school when I was there that he went on to play
• 33:36
  for the Giants Pro Bowler, Super Bowl champion, all that fun
• 33:39
  stuff. And I thought, and I had told my
• 33:41
  wife, I said wait a minute, that's I think that's but he
• 33:44
  looks younger now than he did when we were at school.
• 33:47
  He started that, He started that.
• 33:49
  That's his deal. Oh, did he?
• 33:50
  That was. His idea, He envisioned it, came
• 33:52
  up with it. Now it's come to fruition, he's
• 33:55
  been helping bringing you know kids from over all over like
• 33:57
  Europe and and but you know specifically over in Africa and
• 34:00
  and and Nigeria bringing them over to the NFL.
• 34:03
  Now the NF LS finally got involved with it, and they're
• 34:06
  helping to support his calls do this.
• 34:08
  That's awesome. What's waiting tears that OCS
• 34:10
  put into that? And it's all paid off.
• 34:12
  Yes, that's awesome. So I was I had to mention that
• 34:15
  that Troy alum and and a great guy that we kind of know and
• 34:18
  whatever. But, and I told Blasi, I said it
• 34:20
  was funny. When we had with the few classes
• 34:21
  we did have together, he was in the front of the class sitting,
• 34:24
  paying attention, taking notes when I was slipping in the back,
• 34:26
  trying to sit in the back 20 minutes late.
• 34:28
  But that's why he's running a big charity and I'm yapping with
• 34:31
  you knucklehead. So it's all right though.
• 34:36
  But Congrats to him and that is very cool.
• 34:37
  I didn't know that was something he started.
• 34:39
  I thought he was just spokesman for that angle, but that's very
• 34:41
  cool, so shout out to. Osi.
• 34:44
  You know, I think part of the deal with the commercials is
• 34:47
  social media these days. So much bigger.
• 34:50
  TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, you know those types of things.
• 34:54
  A lot of those bigger companies really try to get more viral
• 34:59
  stuff and viral play there than that big money spend of
• 35:05
  advertisement during the Super bowling.
• 35:08
  Case in point would be just like last night, Blazey's at the
• 35:11
  chili cook off their their props, watching the Super Bowl,
• 35:15
  eating some chili and all. You're not sitting there in
• 35:17
  between the game and you're talking to people and your
• 35:20
  friends and stuff like that. You're not watching.
• 35:23
  Your squares on your. Phone or you're Exactly,
• 35:25
  exactly. So I think you're a lot more
• 35:28
  distracted these days than than used to be.
• 35:32
  But it still ain't cheap to run a a Super Bowl ad.
• 35:35
  I mean the. Half $1,000,000 a second or
• 35:38
  something crazy. Yeah, I think RFK Junior spent I
• 35:42
  think 7 million or the pack did. He didn't personally do it.
• 35:46
  A pack spent like 7 million on that 30 second commercial or
• 35:50
  something like that, which is just, you know, which is just
• 35:52
  insane. You know there was that good
• 35:54
  commercial with with Jesus and talking about love and you know
• 35:59
  they were washing people's feet and things like that, which was
• 36:02
  a which is a great message. But you know a lot of those
• 36:06
  sites are owned by Russian hacks and things like that.
• 36:09
  So I don't know what kind of misinformation or what it is.
• 36:12
  I sure as heck ain't going to the link that they had at the
• 36:16
  end of that to go check it out. You know, I mean, I agree with,
• 36:19
  I agree with the message, but I don't know what your website is.
• 36:23
  No, no, no, you're not going to get me, you know.
• 36:25
  So I think that that some of that burnout is has has come out
• 36:31
  there with with all of that. But look, I have to put this in
• 36:34
  there because you can't talk about the Super Bowl without
• 36:38
  talking about halftime. And I put this out on our shows,
• 36:43
  Instagram and a couple of other places yesterday whenever I
• 36:46
  found this picture. But this is my dad meeting
• 36:49
  Usher. Usher, that's so good, dude.
• 36:58
  That's awesome. It's so badass.
• 37:01
  And so was. He playing that music when he
• 37:03
  met him too. I think we rolled in Little
• 37:05
  John's the way that I envision it, you know, that's like that's
• 37:08
  had to be the way dad heard that music, right?
• 37:11
  No, he's never heard that song before.
• 37:13
  But Dad, man, so I go over there yesterday and he he's talking
• 37:19
  about he said that time, you know, I met that guy who's going
• 37:23
  to be doing the halftime. One time they introduced him to
• 37:27
  the Louisiana legislature. Dad back in the in the day was
• 37:30
  it was speaker of the house in the Louisiana legislature.
• 37:33
  So he got to do a lot of cool stuff like that.
• 37:36
  But we're just casually going through.
• 37:38
  This was like 6 or 8 months ago. They had this picture frame
• 37:43
  deal, a digital picture, picture frame, and they had put all of
• 37:47
  these pictures on on there and it would just go, they had that.
• 37:51
  Mom and dad had no idea what we could do with this or anything.
• 37:54
  I turned it around. I say, well, it's just got ASD
• 37:57
  card or something in there. I can just buy something offload
• 38:00
  all these pictures, which is what I did.
• 38:03
  But we all sat around and watched them individually.
• 38:06
  We had to go through all like 300 and we get to that one.
• 38:10
  And I went, is that freaking usher, Dad?
• 38:14
  I don't know. I don't know, probably, I don't
• 38:17
  know. Who's that?
• 38:17
  Who's usher? And then forward to yesterday.
• 38:21
  He remembered. He remembered Usher.
• 38:23
  He's like, hey, I think I do remember that guy.
• 38:25
  You know, he's doing the halftime.
• 38:27
  I met him one time. So I found that picture that's
• 38:29
  great and and shared it. And it really is, man, that's
• 38:33
  really cool. Yeah, I don't know what he was
• 38:35
  doing here. That had to be circa like 2005
• 38:38
  to 2007 or 8:00 somewhere, somewhere in there, probably
• 38:44
  shooting a movie. Helping, I was going to say.
• 38:45
  Probably movie or potential videos, yeah.
• 38:50
  Or it might have been the time when they had when they were up
• 38:52
  for the change get their the tax thing back that they were
• 38:56
  probably had some people speaking to make sure we got the
• 38:58
  tax thing right so they could do all that stuff in Louisiana.
• 39:01
  Your dad? True.
• 39:02
  Your dad used to have his own coffee mugs because I had one.
• 39:04
  It was black and gold, right? Yeah, you sure did.
• 39:07
  I have one that you can't see it.
• 39:09
  I know there's only a handful. I don't.
• 39:11
  I don't. I need another one.
• 39:13
  I don't know where they're at, but.
• 39:14
  Yeah, I apologize. I can't find it.
• 39:17
  It's OK. It's OK.
• 39:18
  It was awesome. But it was awesome.
• 39:20
  But yeah man, so I enjoyed. I've heard a little bit of back
• 39:26
  and forth. House divided.
• 39:28
  Not not this house on on. Whether or not they enjoyed us
• 39:32
  or not. I thought it was fantastic.
• 39:35
  Started off a little bit slow, but that was what he was trying
• 39:39
  to build up. I love the pure R&B.
• 39:41
  That was interesting. Hadn't really had that at a
• 39:44
  Super Bowl. And then it goes into a party,
• 39:47
  you know, it just goes from that little giant coming out.
• 39:50
  Luda freaking Jermaine Dupree, everybody's showing up and bring
• 39:54
  Kat Williams cat with cat there. He had to be.
• 40:01
  I mean, I wouldn't have put it back.
• 40:05
  I don't think Kat ain't invited to too many Halloween Hollywood
• 40:10
  parties anymore these days. I don't believe.
• 40:14
  If y'all hadn't seen that Katt Williams interview with Shannon
• 40:17
  Sharpe, then do yourself a favor and and and go check that out.
• 40:21
  It is. I can't look.
• 40:22
  I can't look at looting them the same no more, man.
• 40:26
  I I need some explanation. I need somebody to call Katt
• 40:29
  Williams a liar and tell someone calls him a liar.
• 40:32
  I I'm kind of listening to what he's saying, you know, But
• 40:35
  anyway, But no, I thought, you know, that was from an error
• 40:40
  when we were all, you know, young adults and the music was
• 40:44
  fantastic. I love the special guest.
• 40:46
  Obviously we all love Alicia Keys.
• 40:48
  She was looking like 1,000,000 bucks as he did.
• 40:50
  That's what I said. And Sharise said he's got sleeve
• 40:52
  with no shirts on. The hell, if I was jacked like
• 40:54
  him, I wouldn't wear a shirt either.
• 40:55
  And he's another one. Hell, Usher looks as young now
• 40:58
  on the videos he did when he first came out.
• 41:00
  He's thicker, but you know, it's it's just that.
• 41:02
  Dude can move, man. He's top three of all time in my
• 41:07
  opinion. You got Michael Jackson, then
• 41:10
  you can throw else, whoever else you can think of right there and
• 41:14
  then, Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 41:17
  Yeah, James Brown's first. James Brown.
• 41:20
  You go with James Brown first, OK?
• 41:22
  Yeah, Michael Jackson would tell you James Brown's the 1st.
• 41:25
  All right. I would think, I mean, oh, maybe
• 41:28
  not. Maybe not.
• 41:28
  I mean they're. Yeah.
• 41:29
  Evolution anymore. Yeah, right.
• 41:32
  Neither neither nor. But you know, I I thought that
• 41:37
  the the show itself was fantastic.
• 41:39
  Production was great. And let me tell you, it started
• 41:41
  off slow too. And you couldn't hear his vocal
• 41:43
  mic at first as good as you could because he was singing
• 41:45
  live. That was not.
• 41:46
  He wasn't singing a track like normal and they just talk over
• 41:49
  it some. He was breathing out those whole
• 41:51
  lyrics along with some backup singers, but they were live too.
• 41:55
  And let me tell you, it's hard enough to do it at a concert, a
• 41:57
  regular building. It's hard enough to do it
• 42:00
  recorded and regular. Man, he had everything going
• 42:03
  against him to for that to fail. And his production team, along
• 42:06
  with the whoever pulled all that off, absolutely nailed it for
• 42:11
  what they had, what they had given, and then tell you what
• 42:13
  killed me too, is that those guys out there dancing on roller
• 42:17
  skates. Yeah, that was insane.
• 42:19
  We'll just take it to a whole other level.
• 42:20
  Hell, we'll just get on and no one's done anything like.
• 42:22
  Live. That was on TV.
• 42:24
  It only took one slip or one thing to break, but you know,
• 42:27
  they have practiced that for months, ever since he signed the
• 42:29
  contract. Oh yeah.
• 42:31
  Man, they have been. They have rented out a big NFL
• 42:34
  size stadium like that that was not in use and they've been
• 42:37
  running that set every day, same time.
• 42:39
  They're going to do it live for probably 3 months now I would
• 42:42
  bet. I mean, you know, different
• 42:45
  pieces then came together for sure, but absolutely fantastic.
• 42:49
  Show. Yeah, actually.
• 42:50
  So it's funny, Amanda, she just popped in on that.
• 42:52
  So it started just like you said.
• 42:54
  Brantley started slow. And I was actually criticizing
• 42:56
  and I like Usher. But you know, about halfway
• 42:58
  through, I was like, dude, this is just not good.
• 43:01
  Like, I'd already given up. You know, I had my money.
• 43:04
  I whatever. I didn't need a halftime show,
• 43:05
  right? So But no, dude, all of a sudden
• 43:07
  when he when he started going, I was like, whoa, hold on, you
• 43:10
  know what I mean? I was like, dude, yes, it was.
• 43:12
  It was a slow He pumped that wave.
• 43:15
  That jam band thing build him up.
• 43:17
  Bring him. He was working, dude.
• 43:18
  He was working hard, like you were saying, dude, he was
• 43:20
  working. He was grinding, dude.
• 43:22
  He was pouring sweat, dude. I mean, he was.
• 43:24
  Singing. He was singing do all that.
• 43:26
  After a minute. Of anything?
• 43:29
  Never mind, yeah. Impressive and.
• 43:32
  Mississippi was a little John I have AI saw a little clip of
• 43:36
  court when Alicia when she when Alicia Keys came in she missed
• 43:42
  her vocal. You know she she she missed it.
• 43:45
  It's OK. She's missed it before.
• 43:47
  She'll miss it again. But what?
• 43:49
  The thing that I said right then was like, damn, they're live.
• 43:53
  They're doing this like that is incredible.
• 43:55
  I could tell when he first started off his thing and was
• 43:57
  trying to sing and was first getting out and everything.
• 43:59
  I was like, oh shit, he's going live.
• 44:01
  I wonder if it's all the way live.
• 44:02
  And then I saw him do something. I was like, it is 100% live.
• 44:04
  I love it. I do too.
• 44:06
  I love that. I I just think that.
• 44:08
  That is amazing. More artists need to do that
• 44:11
  biggest stage, Reba. We hadn't talked about Reba
• 44:14
  doing the national anthem. Oh yeah, Paul Paul says.
• 44:18
  Reba Reba did a great national anthem.
• 44:21
  It was fantastic. It was fantastic.
• 44:24
  Reba, that's awesome. JC loves Mr. Joe.
• 44:27
  That's my dad. He knows Oh.
• 44:29
  That's awesome. He He knows him.
• 44:31
  He knows him. That's awesome.
• 44:33
  Hey, I do want to mention real quick though, that kid holding
• 44:37
  our our men. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 44:38
  Yeah. Yeah, man.
• 44:39
  So those guys. So Holden's the kid that was at
• 44:42
  the Chiefs game and was, you know, wrongly accused of being
• 44:45
  racist. He was, you know, they took a
• 44:46
  picture half of his face and like he was all in blackface.
• 44:49
  He had red and black on the other side was red.
• 44:52
  So just a kid. Just a kid that's supporting,
• 44:54
  you know, his team, the Chiefs, had the full headdress on it.
• 44:56
  A game. Didn't even know what racism
• 44:58
  was. No, dude, he wasn't even
• 45:00
  thinking about that. And they kind of went after him
• 45:01
  saying it's right. First of all, he's Native
• 45:03
  American, so he can do what he wants to do, you know what I
• 45:05
  mean? And he's just there supporting
• 45:07
  the Chiefs so. But dude these guys from Skin of
• 45:11
  the Game podcast or they raised like $11,000 and they got him
• 45:15
  and his dad tickets to the Super Bowl.
• 45:17
  They had awesome seats. He went back in full headdress
• 45:20
  and all that. But he actually, you know this
• 45:21
  time I think he was like red, white and yellow or whatever.
• 45:23
  Of course there's no camera on him but anyway congratulations
• 45:28
  to to Holden. I'm glad he was able to make it
• 45:29
  the game. Good job to those guys from Skin
• 45:31
  of the Game Podcast that was that was so.
• 45:33
  Cool man. Yeah, Which?
• 45:35
  Which? Which?
• 45:36
  Hilton says that he saw that on Lacey's Briar Patch podcast,
• 45:41
  which now is as good of a time as any to to talk about that.
• 45:48
  Yeah, so Blayton had this week jumped in on that with those
• 45:52
  guys again. I was kind of down for the
• 45:55
  count. And he he's been on, he's been
• 45:57
  on a couple other podcasts that I don't.
• 45:59
  I didn't bring that footage into this sucker tonight.
• 46:01
  That's OK. We'll talk about this later on,
• 46:04
  but but he's going on a couple of other podcasts with these
• 46:07
  guys and everything and out of it, a Tigs Bits production.
• 46:12
  We have a new podcast, The Briar Patch, The Briar.
• 46:16
  Patch. Yeah, Yeah.
• 46:17
  More controversial subjects we can, we can throw in there.
• 46:20
  Yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah.
• 46:22
  We try to keep things here level, You know, we're just kind
• 46:26
  of want to keep this, keep this plane flying.
• 46:29
  We can get a little bumpy here and there.
• 46:31
  We a little controversial here and there, but we pretty much
• 46:34
  just want to keep the same. Time we do.
• 46:36
  We'll talk about things up above the surface, You know what I
• 46:39
  mean? Just kind of.
• 46:41
  What? What connects us as people and
• 46:42
  not what tears us apart and what brings what?
• 46:44
  What divides us, right. So that's kind of what we focus
• 46:46
  on here, You know what I mean? It's like you get done with this
• 46:49
  show. It's like, I don't know, You may
• 46:50
  disagree or agree, but it didn't.
• 46:51
  Like, you know, we're tearing each other's throats up.
• 46:54
  It's like, hey, let's, let's talk about fun stuff.
• 46:57
  But in the Briar Pratt, Briar patch, you know, yeah, maybe I
• 47:00
  have an opinion on transvestites.
• 47:03
  I don't know. Maybe I do.
• 47:04
  You know, maybe I want to talk a little bit more about the heroin
• 47:08
  epidemic. I don't know.
• 47:09
  Maybe I do. We'll see.
• 47:11
  So I mean it's just, it gives us a little more freedom to kind of
• 47:14
  talk about some of those topics that we don't necessarily want
• 47:19
  to drag everybody down in the mud with us on.
• 47:23
  Basically. That's it.
• 47:25
  We may talk about politics, you know, and that's the thing that
• 47:27
  we don't really get into on this show.
• 47:32
  And I don't want to get into that on this show.
• 47:34
  But in the briar patch, we may be pro Trump, pro Biden or pro
• 47:40
  Michelle Obama, who I think is going to be the next President
• 47:43
  of the United States. But anyhow, let's move on to our
• 47:48
  next little segment of the show. I know we're running.
• 47:50
  We're running a little low on time handler.
• 47:53
  We don't. We want to want to make sure
• 47:56
  that we keep you around. But it would be we couldn't have
• 47:59
  this show without getting your take, your opinion, your
• 48:02
  thoughts about the passing of one of the the last American
• 48:08
  Cowboys. In my opinion, one of the best
• 48:12
  to ever freaking do it. A man who just died entirely way
• 48:16
  too young. That being Toby Keith.
• 48:20
  Handler Did you have any experiences or any run insurance
• 48:25
  with Toby Keith over the years or anything?
• 48:27
  Man, you know, he was one of the one of out of that bunch that
• 48:31
  I've never really got to meet or hang out with.
• 48:33
  But I mean, we've done, I've probably done 1/2 a dozen shows
• 48:36
  with him over the years. Different places, festivals,
• 48:40
  several big military type veteran.
• 48:42
  I know just recently maybe it was after he got his diagnosis,
• 48:47
  we played a showdown in Daytona on the Daytona Speedway for a
• 48:52
  big military event. I mean packed Daytona Speedway,
• 48:55
  probably 25,000 people there. It's a big thing.
• 48:58
  Marcus Luttrell there, that whole deal was.
• 49:01
  Craig Morgan was there with us that day.
• 49:03
  He's a veteran also but I I didn't get to talk to him and
• 49:09
  I've been we've done a show with him one time I remember
• 49:11
  Minnesota big festival and it stormed and we had to cut our
• 49:13
  set short and we we didn't so we didn't and they had to buzz
• 49:16
  because it was just a weird day and you know back in the day we
• 49:19
  were around some but I I just never made the point to go he's
• 49:23
  one you know like you mentioned he's so young.
• 49:25
  I just always thought I had a chance.
• 49:26
  I figured we would do shows because you know I met Tracy
• 49:29
  Lawrence what, four or five years ago finally.
• 49:31
  And I've been got to hang out with him a bunch and several
• 49:35
  like that, but just hadn't got to do a TK show and more than
• 49:40
  one show or one off to where we could run into each other and
• 49:43
  hang out. So unfortunately I didn't.
• 49:45
  But 100% across the board everyone had nothing but good
• 49:49
  things to say. You know we mentioned Taylor
• 49:51
  Swift. He obviously helped her get her
• 49:52
  first record deal. He start help many artists.
• 49:55
  You know we love wrestling on here.
• 49:57
  I'm sure y'all seen the things of him super suplexing Jared
• 50:02
  Jeff Jarrett back in the day. And I mean, he had great songs.
• 50:07
  He had, he had the Red solo Cup song.
• 50:08
  No one will ever look at Red solo cup that knows that song
• 50:11
  without thinking of him. I did it all weekend.
• 50:13
  I got to give a quick shout out to Hilton.
• 50:16
  Hilton messaged me yesterday and and he we were, we were just
• 50:20
  kind of talking about that and the and red solo cup and he said
• 50:24
  y'all need to have red solo cup tonight, but then I texted y'all
• 50:28
  you did I don't have a red solo cup.
• 50:30
  I don't need. It's funny, I was.
• 50:33
  Sitting here as soon as the show started, I was like, Dang red
• 50:36
  solo cup. I forgot to get it, man.
• 50:38
  And I had one, you know I was like, but do you know what's
• 50:41
  what's the compared to music It plays in your head like you
• 50:44
  could I walk into a bar. I love this bar, you know what I
• 50:47
  mean? It's like it's like his music
• 50:49
  just it resonates. You know I ain't as.
• 50:50
  Good. I ain't as good as I once.
• 50:53
  Was how many times have I done probably things I shouldn't do
• 50:55
  probably still over the years now and I can still do this one
• 50:57
  good time race my son last year in front of all his friends
• 51:00
  pulled a hamstring you know what I mean?
• 51:01
  So that but that, you know that race before I was still just as
• 51:04
  good as I was once you know, so I mean he he kind of gives you
• 51:08
  some false confidence a little bit too.
• 51:11
  Well, you got to well, you got to pick and choose your battles
• 51:14
  there, even though you know whatever it is, but you know he.
• 51:17
  Had so many songs, dude. He did.
• 51:20
  I mean, look, I I've gone into since the the day he died.
• 51:25
  I just went. That's all I listen to.
• 51:26
  And it's pretty much all I've listened to since last week of
• 51:30
  kind of coming out of it. But I dove deep in and I go, my
• 51:33
  God, man, I forgot how many daggum good songs he has.
• 51:38
  And here are 20. I'm going to name 20.
• 51:42
  All of these were number one. That's all.
• 51:44
  Twenty of these were his number one songs.
• 51:47
  Should have been a cowboy. The first one, you know, That's
• 51:49
  what launched his career. Who's that man?
• 51:53
  Me too. How do you like me now?
• 51:56
  You shouldn't kiss me like this. I'm just talking about tonight.
• 52:01
  I want to talk about me. That one's kind of last week.
• 52:06
  Kim Mulkey, you know, the LSU women's basketball coach, huge
• 52:11
  country music fan. She talked about her son.
• 52:14
  Kramer Robertson plays, played for LSU.
• 52:18
  He plays in the in minor leagues in baseball.
• 52:21
  Now that that was the song she would sing to him when he was
• 52:25
  getting Ed thinking he was the you know, she's like that's what
• 52:30
  she went into that whole deal in a press conference after finding
• 52:34
  out he had passed and and insisted that the girls that
• 52:38
  that's all they played that day whenever they practice too.
• 52:41
  So you know those girls love that they had a Toby Keith all
• 52:46
  day that day. But hey that's that's that's
• 52:48
  awesome. Moving on the my list, Curtis.
• 52:52
  Courtesy of the red, white and blue.
• 52:54
  The Angry American. Y'all can discuss.
• 52:58
  I think that's a podcast if y'all want to get crazy with it
• 53:00
  because they're that that obviously stirred up a big deal
• 53:02
  in country. Music and He and the Dixie.
• 53:04
  Chicks you know. Yes it yes it did.
• 53:06
  I told Riley, my son Riley, we were coming home after later on
• 53:13
  last week once I once I could go get him, I was over the flu,
• 53:17
  went and picked him up and we were listening to Toby Keith
• 53:20
  coming home and I said have you ever heard this song?
• 53:22
  Riley and I played it and man, he he kind of got a little
• 53:25
  emotional. He liked it.
• 53:26
  We wanted to hear it again. We listened to it like three
• 53:28
  times in a row, two or three times in a row.
• 53:31
  And then he's listened to it since.
• 53:32
  I told him. I said this song made a lot of
• 53:34
  people mad years ago. When this came out right after
• 53:39
  911, it was about a year after we're going to war and all of
• 53:43
  that. And he said, why would that make
• 53:45
  people mad? And I said, I, you know, I mean,
• 53:48
  I can't really explain it, but there's this man, the the
• 53:52
  people. That bombed our buildings.
• 53:53
  This is nothing about oil in Iraq and the war Mongoling
• 53:55
  thing, right? It's none of that.
• 53:57
  This is, this is talking about the people that just blew up
• 54:00
  these buildings. Mainly A tribute to his father
• 54:02
  who had recently passed, you know, So yeah, that.
• 54:07
  And I say this about Toby, you know I mentioned we've done,
• 54:11
  we've done several military type shows with him.
• 54:14
  There was no bigger supporter of our armed forces and military
• 54:17
  and 1st Responders than TK. He did his, I I would dare say
• 54:21
  he did as many USO tours, right? Maybe like it's Charlie Daniels.
• 54:27
  He might have took the flag from Uncle Charlie and ran with it
• 54:29
  because I know you know he had. So all every time I would run
• 54:37
  into a group of special forces guys or veterans or something
• 54:40
  that ran these organizations, different things.
• 54:42
  They all knew Toby. His manager was also TK and the
• 54:46
  the the connection they had in the places he went and played in
• 54:49
  the time he gave and and money and everything else to go do
• 54:54
  these things in these far stretches of the world to do
• 54:59
  these USO shows for these troops.
• 55:01
  He like Charlie would go places just to play by himself with his
• 55:05
  guitar for these 30 people on some remote outpost and get shot
• 55:09
  at on their way there and that kind of stuff.
• 55:11
  And he never flinched. He did that from the beginning
• 55:13
  of his career until the last. Like I said he was sick and came
• 55:16
  did these shows and just just what a statesman on that end.
• 55:20
  You know just was a patriot through and through and it it
• 55:25
  should inspire. And I know Justin talked about
• 55:27
  it and it does a lot that want to do things because we watched
• 55:29
  you watched Toby do it. You saw him in the fatigues, you
• 55:32
  know overseas somewhere doing these things and and and you
• 55:35
  know, it's very we've lost a big ambassador there on that end.
• 55:40
  Hopefully somebody can fill those shoes, 'cause now that he
• 55:42
  and Uncle Charlie are gone, that was two that put a lot of effort
• 55:45
  and time into making sure our troops all over got served with
• 55:49
  whatever they could provide, you know.
• 55:51
  So that song particularly made me think of that and and how big
• 55:56
  of an impact he made on that end, you know?
• 55:58
  Yeah, no doubt. No doubt at all.
• 56:01
  Moving on, there's still more songs.
• 56:03
  Who's your Daddy? Beer for My beer.
• 56:06
  For my horses, Of course. I love this bar.
• 56:08
  American soldier. Another great military.
• 56:11
  Let me say this on I love this bar.
• 56:13
  Obviously. You said when you go in a bar
• 56:14
  blaze, you think of that there at one time.
• 56:16
  He franchised that into, I don't know, dozens and dozens of bars
• 56:21
  all over the country. There were Toby Keith's I Love
• 56:23
  This Bar, Bar and Grill. That's right.
• 56:25
  I do. I remember that.
• 56:27
  And because I it was about the time I started with Jon Pardi,
• 56:29
  We probably played fifteen of them all over the country.
• 56:31
  They had in California, Kentucky, Ohio.
• 56:34
  We, I think they had one at the Wharf here in Orange Beach at
• 56:36
  one point. But it was huge right then,
• 56:39
  right? Well, everybody wanted a piece
• 56:41
  of the action. So he sold them off and sold the
• 56:42
  whole thing for Mint and literally made became one of the
• 56:46
  richest guys in country music for selling that name and
• 56:48
  writing off. And then it all squandered away.
• 56:50
  It was all gone in a few more years, but it was just that hot
• 56:53
  thing right then and he just and his race horses.
• 56:56
  I think he made more money between that and his race horses
• 56:59
  than he ever did. Making music, I think is what I
• 57:00
  heard. Also.
• 57:02
  He was big. He was a big third.
• 57:03
  Racing. I had a good I have a good
• 57:06
  friend, David Hogan, he, he knew him, knew him pretty well.
• 57:10
  He was in Oklahoma whenever I used to sell hardwood lumber and
• 57:14
  molding and that kind of stuff. He had some relationships there.
• 57:17
  One of those guys business kind of deals, you know, they were
• 57:21
  friends and then they got connected and all that.
• 57:23
  He he always had nothing but good things to say.
• 57:27
  In fact, he sent me a little video.
• 57:29
  It's very private. I don't think that I can release
• 57:32
  it, but but it was, it was just neat to see Toby Keith.
• 57:36
  This is probably 8 or 10 years ago, basically dedicating some
• 57:40
  songs and stuff like that to this guy.
• 57:43
  They were pretty loose, yeah, to say it lightly in that video.
• 57:49
  But. Toast every sunset with wine,
• 57:51
  you know and I'll tell you if anybody wants to see a good one.
• 57:54
  My buddy friend of mine, Colt Ford, who is a dear friend and
• 57:57
  also a patriot, he was real tight with Toby.
• 58:00
  He they were on the same record label and he helped.
• 58:02
  They helped each other with stuff and his his video he
• 58:05
  posted. If anyone wants to check that
• 58:06
  out, it's worth watching because you know Colt and him were
• 58:10
  really tight and and he he spoke on him in first person to where
• 58:14
  I feel like I know Toby and how, what kind of person he was
• 58:16
  because of how. And he said you weren't you just
• 58:18
  weren't going to meet a better human.
• 58:19
  You just you just weren't, you know.
• 58:21
  That's right, that's right, Jason says.
• 58:24
  He saw Toby live around 2000 because of the song How Do You
• 58:28
  Like Me Now? Had just come out at at
• 58:31
  Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, LA.
• 58:36
  He got he got 3 guitar picks and he's put this on there.
• 58:39
  I think he may have messaged you too.
• 58:41
  Handler. There was a guy, I can't
• 58:43
  remember what was his name? Jason send that send that name
• 58:47
  of that guy. But one of the picks has a name
• 58:49
  that we can't find. Can't figure it out.
• 58:51
  I was like, well, I'm sure that was just somebody in your band,
• 58:54
  in the in his band or something like that.
• 58:56
  But no, no names have come up with that yet so who knows.
• 59:01
  It could have been an alias. You know how those guys are.
• 59:05
  Would pick some guitars. It could have just been a damn
• 59:07
  made-up name, too. Could have been a joke.
• 59:09
  Could have been an inside Joe. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 59:11
  Joey. Joey Cooter Floyd.
• 59:15
  Joey Cooter, Floyd. I mean, it sounds like that's
• 59:17
  possibly what that is, is some kind of a of a little inside
• 59:21
  joke or something. But who knows, man, I'd love.
• 59:24
  I'd love to know. I'd love to know.
• 59:26
  But. But yeah, just finishing up that
• 59:29
  list real quick. American Soldier, which came out
• 59:33
  in 2004. Whiskey Girl as good as I once
• 59:36
  was a Big Blue note a little too late.
• 59:41
  American Ride made in America. I mean, the dude made some of
• 59:45
  the best America songs ever. And then, of course, Red Solo
• 59:49
  Cup. Dude, so many songs.
• 59:52
  So many songs. You know, I was looking the
• 59:54
  other day. That's.
• 59:54
  His hit since. This is, yeah, don't let the and
• 59:56
  don't let the old man in, he wrote with Eastwood, I mean,
• 59:59
  from the movie. Eastwood.
• 1:00:00
  What a what? A.
• 1:00:01
  And Clint Eastwood actually inspired him to write that when
• 1:00:03
  they were playing golf together. Eastwood wrote a lot of songs
• 1:00:06
  you wouldn't know of. Eastwood wrote most of the songs
• 1:00:08
  that are in his movies. He wrote a lot of those songs.
• 1:00:10
  That's crazy, isn't it? Yeah, he just asked him, 'cause
• 1:00:13
  he's, he's going there to fi start filming the Mule and he's
• 1:00:15
  like, how do you have this energy to do this?
• 1:00:17
  And he was just like, well, I just get up and get out and
• 1:00:20
  don't let the old man in. And he was like, that's got to
• 1:00:22
  be a song. Appreciate you, Clint.
• 1:00:24
  Yeah. Thanks a lot, I think.
• 1:00:27
  I think Dreamwalking is probably my favorite Toby Keith song.
• 1:00:31
  Besides, you know, I love this bar.
• 1:00:33
  That's going to be tough for me to to, you know, to move past
• 1:00:38
  and then the angry American. But in red solo cup.
• 1:00:42
  I mean, I don't know yet Where do you pick but Dreamwalking?
• 1:00:45
  I love that song. I love everything about it.
• 1:00:48
  Bullets in the Gun. That song freaking rocks.
• 1:00:52
  That's a rock song that ain't. That ain't really a country song
• 1:00:55
  to me. You shouldn't kiss me like this.
• 1:00:58
  I mean, come on. That song.
• 1:01:01
  And then Copenhagen with Chris Ladue.
• 1:01:03
  You remember that one? I mean, I think it that that
• 1:01:07
  song. I don't know if that was an
• 1:01:08
  original or if that was a. No, I think that's a think
• 1:01:11
  that's. They did a they did a version of
• 1:01:14
  it. Yeah, it's a little ladue, but I
• 1:01:15
  first heard Copenhagen say Robert Earl Keen.
• 1:01:20
  Robert Earl Keen. That's right, That's who did the
• 1:01:22
  the original Copenhagen and and if you listen, if you go on a
• 1:01:27
  Spotify or Apple Music or wherever, listen to Toby Keith's
• 1:01:31
  version of Gordon Lightfoot Sundown.
• 1:01:36
  Maybe the best version I've heard of it actually.
• 1:01:39
  I haven't even heard it, and I but I love that song.
• 1:01:41
  I've had a. Song gives me a chill board.
• 1:01:43
  That's just what? Oh man, what a song.
• 1:01:46
  What A2? Watch some YouTube videos on
• 1:01:48
  Gordon Lightfoot. He had a house in Toronto and
• 1:01:50
  all the famous people used to party there when they came
• 1:01:51
  through town. Really.
• 1:01:53
  Yeah, really Lightfoot. Hey guys, I'm going to have to,
• 1:01:56
  I'm going to have to peel out. But look, I'm going, I'm
• 1:01:59
  actually going to the brewery. So when I get there, I'm going
• 1:02:01
  to try to log back in so it won't be fancy on my computer
• 1:02:04
  and I'm going to take my earbuds.
• 1:02:05
  I'm going to try to log in from up there and go live, look in on
• 1:02:09
  the band and I can at least listen to y'all while y'all are
• 1:02:11
  not. Chime in.
• 1:02:12
  We got you. Go enjoy that music, man.
• 1:02:14
  We'll see you here in a few. I'll hit you guys back.
• 1:02:16
  Thank you all, everybody. God bless Toby Keith and thank
• 1:02:18
  you all for tuning in the show today.
• 1:02:21
  See you dude. See you guys.
• 1:02:24
  But yeah, man, he's in and he's out.
• 1:02:26
  He's in and he's out, you know, I don't know if we'll still be
• 1:02:28
  going by the time he he makes it.
• 1:02:31
  Over. He's not far.
• 1:02:31
  That's the good news. He's literally two blocks.
• 1:02:33
  He's two blocks, so. That's correct.
• 1:02:35
  So it it may end up happening, but yeah, man, Toby Keith just
• 1:02:40
  unbelievable. Americana, The thread in America
• 1:02:45
  that he leaves behind 60. What was he 62?
• 1:02:49
  62 years. Old, entirely too young.
• 1:02:51
  Very young very young to pass. But man just tip of the cap to
• 1:02:57
  to Toby Keith. I've I'm going to miss that guy
• 1:03:01
  but his but he lives on. I mean that's the beauty of
• 1:03:04
  music is that he lives on. He'll live forever.
• 1:03:07
  He'll never die. He'll never die, but kind of
• 1:03:11
  like like the handler said. I never got the opportunity to
• 1:03:14
  see him live. I never saw Toby Keith live.
• 1:03:17
  And I I did not either I. Wanted to.
• 1:03:19
  Yeah, you know, I would love to just.
• 1:03:20
  Kind of one of those things that never.
• 1:03:22
  I would love to. So yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:24
  So, so that brings us to the theme of this show.
• 1:03:31
  One of of the themes will close with our closer this week
• 1:03:34
  because it is a festive time of year all across the South is
• 1:03:40
  especially it's Mardi Gras season.
• 1:03:43
  And let's just jump right into a little bit of controversy that
• 1:03:49
  the show has created, that I don't think there's any
• 1:03:51
  controversy out there, but let's just revisit this little clip
• 1:03:56
  1st and then talk about it. Naggy and what he's done with
• 1:04:01
  this bowl, with the Senior Bowl and bringing it to the elevation
• 1:04:05
  that it is, which is the best, the best absolute showcase of
• 1:04:09
  all college football talent in the town.
• 1:04:12
  That started Mardi Gras, by the way, where New Orleans has to
• 1:04:17
  call the mayor and get permission to have Mardi Gras in
• 1:04:21
  New Orleans in Mobile. AL, folks, you got to come down
• 1:04:24
  here. We'll break.
• 1:04:25
  That shit down on another episode, but whatever.
• 1:04:28
  Anyhow, Mobile is the shit and they did start Mardi Gras well.
• 1:04:31
  That's cool, you know, But but they didn't master it.
• 1:04:34
  So but they own it if you hope. I don't think they do.
• 1:04:38
  They get permission every year to give it to that little city
• 1:04:42
  over there. Yell at me blasey.
• 1:04:43
  But we'll be back tomorrow with more.
• 1:04:49
  We were pretty fired up. It had been a great.
• 1:04:51
  Long it had been an amazing day. It had been an amazing day.
• 1:04:55
  It was a beautiful blind side. Out of nowhere comes this whole
• 1:04:59
  Let's just put Tigs on the spot. We invented Mardi Gras.
• 1:05:03
  You know, like, OK, congratulations on that.
• 1:05:07
  But you surely shit ain't mastered it.
• 1:05:09
  And I'll stick with I'll stick with what I say.
• 1:05:12
  Why are people from Mobile in particular?
• 1:05:16
  This is a this is a truthful question.
• 1:05:19
  For the record, I'm from North Louisiana.
• 1:05:22
  We did not celebrate Mardi Gras growing up.
• 1:05:24
  They do celebrate it up there now.
• 1:05:27
  I celebrate it living down here now in South Louisiana.
• 1:05:30
  I love it. I've embraced it.
• 1:05:32
  It's all a lot of fun. But it really, really seems to
• 1:05:35
  irk people in South Alabama that they invented Mardi Gras or they
• 1:05:43
  first it was the fact that and it and it's debatable.
• 1:05:45
  I mean there's the 1790 people or 1799 they say that's the
• 1:05:51
  first in New Orleans and then the 16 or 918 O 3 or 17.
• 1:05:56
  Whatever the year, they may have done it in the 1600s, in the
• 1:05:59
  17th century, and then seventeen O 3 and 1711.
• 1:06:03
  I think Mobile had the very first parade and it was almost
• 1:06:06
  like 150 years later before New Orleans.
• 1:06:10
  New Orleans, right? This isn't necessarily just the
• 1:06:13
  state of Louisiana. New Orleans had a parade.
• 1:06:16
  So yeah, yeah, whatever. Yeah.
• 1:06:17
  Now I Yeah, it's all good. I think it's cool that it's
• 1:06:20
  invented there. There are two different vibes.
• 1:06:22
  Like, you know, I mean, I enjoy mobile, personally.
• 1:06:24
  I don't want anything to do with New Orleans here.
• 1:06:26
  Mardi Gras. I want nothing to do with that
• 1:06:28
  city, nothing against it. It's just too much, you know?
• 1:06:30
  I mean, I'll go there other times.
• 1:06:32
  Outside of that much, here's a Here's a fun fact.
• 1:06:35
  If if ever in a a game or something you know, like you
• 1:06:39
  know you'll play those games, you'll write down what's some
• 1:06:42
  what's 1 interesting fact that no one would ever guess about
• 1:06:46
  you. Here's one I've never got to say
• 1:06:48
  it Tiggy, your boy here. I've never been to a Mardi Gras
• 1:06:52
  parade in New Orleans. I've never been to New Orleans
• 1:06:55
  for Mardi Gras. Wow.
• 1:06:57
  I've been to a Super Bowl parade in New Orleans, which happened
• 1:07:03
  during Mardi Gras time, but I've never actually been like this
• 1:07:08
  past weekend in Indemnia and all those cats, Zulu and all, I
• 1:07:14
  think they ride tomorrow, whatever, all those.
• 1:07:17
  Never been to any of those. And I've gone to several other,
• 1:07:21
  you know, I've been to other Mardi Gras parades across the
• 1:07:26
  state, but I have not. I've not been to one in New
• 1:07:30
  Orleans. And frankly, I have no desire to
• 1:07:32
  go. To that.
• 1:07:35
  I've. Never had that itch whatsoever.
• 1:07:38
  Ever. No, I kind of liken tomorrow
• 1:07:42
  being Fat Tuesday and not knocking Mardi Gras whatsoever,
• 1:07:46
  Love it. But I kind of look at tomorrow,
• 1:07:49
  tonight, tonight and tomorrow as like New Year's Eve.
• 1:07:54
  It's the day of it's it's rookies.
• 1:07:56
  It's the day for rookies. This is the the partying rookies
• 1:08:00
  have fun, you know, you go out, get drunk, do dumb stuff, you
• 1:08:05
  know, blah blah, blah, whatever. I don't like that aspect of
• 1:08:10
  Mardi Gras, but what I do like about Mardi Gras is how it can
• 1:08:14
  bring people together. We can have fun and enjoy
• 1:08:18
  parades and stuff like that. In fact, I pick a little video,
• 1:08:23
  I put a little video, put it out on social media this weekend.
• 1:08:27
  But I got to got to put this out just showing what happens here
• 1:08:30
  in Baton Rouge, LA. We had South.
• 1:08:33
  Downs do what has The GIMP has the GIMP in it.
• 1:08:36
  Yes, it does. It does.
• 1:08:37
  So we we had S downs, which is a little small neighborhood Mardi
• 1:08:42
  Gras parade on Friday night and then on Saturday morning I roll
• 1:08:47
  at noon is the Spanish Town parade.
• 1:08:50
  So that's the footage that's there in the day.
• 1:08:52
  This year's theme was heavy Jimmy Buffett on in both, but
• 1:08:58
  especially in Spanish Town. In Spanish Town has been known
• 1:09:02
  to be a little raunchy. I think would be the best word
• 1:09:07
  for it, you know, I mean, they talk a lot about sex.
• 1:09:12
  They're dildo heads and things like it's.
• 1:09:16
  Crazy town. It gets crazy.
• 1:09:17
  It gets crazy. Not as bad, though.
• 1:09:19
  This year? Not as bad at all, but still,
• 1:09:23
  you know, a lot of fun representing or you know, all of
• 1:09:28
  that stuff. But anyhow, here's a little
• 1:09:30
  video. I know you gotta hate her, but
• 1:10:12
  raise both hands up. Now.
• 1:10:31
  That's awesome dude. Yeah, I mean, I could just get.
• 1:10:33
  I love that song, dude. I love.
• 1:10:35
  I love that music. I love everything about it.
• 1:10:39
  Was that so much fun? Who was that?
• 1:10:41
  Do what? That's Keith, Keith Frank and a
• 1:10:44
  little bit Keith Frank with Lil' Boosie.
• 1:10:47
  Yeah, I mean, that's haters. If you listen out there, we do
• 1:10:50
  not own the rights to that music.
• 1:10:52
  But my God, the state of Louisiana sure does.
• 1:10:55
  And that is Mardi Gras, man. That's that's so much fun.
• 1:11:00
  It's just fun to get out there with your kids and to see other
• 1:11:02
  little kids catching beads and just catching stuff.
• 1:11:06
  And just the insanity of people, the different characters that
• 1:11:12
  are around that you see. I mean, it is.
• 1:11:16
  It's bonkers. Yeah, it.
• 1:11:17
  Gets it definitely gets more bonkers when you cross that
• 1:11:19
  state line over there. Then, you know in mobile I
• 1:11:22
  didn't do any parades this year because you know it kind of
• 1:11:24
  stops over here. We do some, you know, some some
• 1:11:26
  small like gatherings and things like that, you know, where
• 1:11:29
  there's some cool stuff but nothing crazy, you know, like,
• 1:11:32
  so I did get a king cake though, from Stinky's and I'm sure
• 1:11:37
  that's going to be phenomenal. That up.
• 1:11:39
  Yeah. You know, so they.
• 1:11:40
  Jim Richard, you know, so he makes this Louisiana legit.
• 1:11:43
  Yes. Yes.
• 1:11:44
  So I can't wait to have that tomorrow.
• 1:11:46
  So I, Amanda and I picked that up.
• 1:11:48
  What was that Saturday? We were just cruising around so.
• 1:11:52
  I just take it for granted, you know?
• 1:11:54
  I mean, it's that's there ain't been crawfish, but there are
• 1:11:57
  plenty of King cakes in Baton Rouge, LA.
• 1:12:00
  Yeah. And I better go load up.
• 1:12:02
  I better go get one tomorrow because after tomorrow they
• 1:12:06
  gone. They're gone for till January of
• 1:12:10
  next year, you know. But yeah, man, Mardi Gras just
• 1:12:16
  it's a lot of fun. I would love one of these years.
• 1:12:20
  I'm actually working tomorrow. Tomorrow morning I sell
• 1:12:23
  insurance, everybody. I'm going to go sell some
• 1:12:26
  insurance. People do still work on Fat
• 1:12:28
  Tuesday in Louisiana in some places.
• 1:12:31
  So anyhow, I've got a little meeting there, but one of these
• 1:12:34
  years I want to go to Eunice, and I have friends that are
• 1:12:39
  they're they're partying right now, man.
• 1:12:40
  They've been out there all day. They're cooking blood boudin,
• 1:12:43
  they're cooking all of this stuff.
• 1:12:44
  They're doing all kinds of stuff.
• 1:12:47
  Eunice is cutting loose. They have Cajun music playing,
• 1:12:50
  but they're going at it. I'm like, send me some video,
• 1:12:53
  dude, send me some good horizontal video.
• 1:12:55
  I'll throw it into our show tonight, you know, But they're
• 1:12:58
  having too much fun to worry about us here at Tigs Bits with
• 1:13:02
  some good, good video. Speaking of of good videos,
• 1:13:06
  we're kind of kind of starting to wrap up.
• 1:13:08
  We'll see if if the handler can make it in here at the end.
• 1:13:11
  Oh. I thought you were about to
• 1:13:12
  bring him in, you said. No, I wish.
• 1:13:14
  He's not in yet. He's not in yet.
• 1:13:17
  What's the name of that brewery again?
• 1:13:18
  Like, that's where we met up, too.
• 1:13:20
  Dang, he just said it too. Big Beach.
• 1:13:24
  Big Beach. It's something Beach.
• 1:13:28
  Big Beach. Yeah, that's Big Beach.
• 1:13:30
  Yeah, follow him on Instagram. It's cool place.
• 1:13:33
  That's a really cool. That's a really cool place.
• 1:13:34
  Yeah, Hilton says that he saw the Cajun Ninja was the Grand
• 1:13:38
  Marshall in Thibodaux over the weekend.
• 1:13:41
  I saw this too. The hecklers were calling him
• 1:13:44
  stuff and his wife and he he jumped off the float and things
• 1:13:50
  got him. But why the hell would you mess
• 1:13:53
  with the Cajun Ninja #1? If y'all don't know, the Cajun
• 1:13:56
  Ninja Is those of you out there listening that aren't from
• 1:13:59
  Louisiana, which is probably most of y'all.
• 1:14:03
  Follow the Cajun Ninja's page on social media anywhere if you
• 1:14:08
  want to. If you want to cook authentic
• 1:14:10
  Louisiana dishes, no one can teach you how to do that better
• 1:14:15
  than the Cajun ninja. Just nobody can do it.
• 1:14:19
  Love to have him on the show at some point in time?
• 1:14:22
  Yeah, I I think we would love we we.
• 1:14:24
  I don't want to talk about this. Cajun Ninja.
• 1:14:27
  Don't care, don't care at all about that, about that incident.
• 1:14:32
  But yeah, apparently got a little provoked from people and
• 1:14:36
  that's Speaking of haters. That's the case in point.
• 1:14:40
  And you know that kind of that happens more and more in
• 1:14:43
  society. This may be even a briar patch
• 1:14:46
  kind of discussion. Maybe.
• 1:14:48
  You know, but but yeah, man, the Cajun ninja, Fantastic dude.
• 1:14:53
  Seems to be a great guy. His wife, they make good
• 1:14:56
  content. Yeah.
• 1:14:58
  Oh yeah, dude. Yeah.
• 1:15:00
  So it was funny. I saw that Thibodeau come up
• 1:15:02
  there and buddy that I worked with, his name's Hunter
• 1:15:06
  Thibodeau. He was telling me about his
• 1:15:07
  granddaddy. Now he's from Lafayette.
• 1:15:08
  He's really pretty hardcore Cajun and his family too.
• 1:15:12
  And he was telling me he's great.
• 1:15:13
  He said, man, hey, he said my granddaddy got, he's got the
• 1:15:16
  whitest teeth you ever seen, man.
• 1:15:17
  He's like he said. He tells me he chews on pine
• 1:15:21
  bark, you know, is how he does it.
• 1:15:23
  You know, I was like, what? Yeah, he'll go there, chew on
• 1:15:26
  pine bark. He'll, he'll chew on tree.
• 1:15:30
  So yeah, his teeth are perfect though.
• 1:15:31
  That's all. Like, I was like, man, that's
• 1:15:33
  some that's some Cajun stuff over there, man.
• 1:15:36
  But he swears chewing on pine bark.
• 1:15:37
  Man is hey, where's that? It was coming from his
• 1:15:41
  granddaddy, just on Thibodeau. It got me thinking about him
• 1:15:44
  telling me about that. If it works, it works.
• 1:15:47
  It works, it works. Paul says that he doesn't.
• 1:15:49
  He doesn't give up things for Lent as a Catholic.
• 1:15:53
  He just prays more. Well, I think that's a good
• 1:15:54
  thing, man. I'm not Catholic, so I, I, I
• 1:15:57
  don't have to participate in Lent.
• 1:16:00
  You know, sometimes I I do kind of go along with it like in a
• 1:16:04
  sense like a, you know, I'll kind of go.
• 1:16:06
  I've got plenty of friends who are Catholic and they're giving
• 1:16:10
  it up. It becomes a nightmare to get
• 1:16:12
  food on Fridays in the in South Louisiana.
• 1:16:16
  You know because of you have spainly cat, it's fish, it's
• 1:16:20
  fish and fish. So you can get shrimp, fish,
• 1:16:23
  crawfish, crawfish Going to be tough this year, you know, on
• 1:16:27
  Fridays. So I but I look out, I look
• 1:16:31
  forward every year to getting some amazing, amazing fried
• 1:16:35
  fish. So it's getting loud in there,
• 1:16:37
  Blasey, what's about to happen? What's going on in there?
• 1:16:40
  They just they're just in there. Cheers.
• 1:16:42
  Oh, just getting a little toast back here.
• 1:16:44
  Yeah, yeah. Cheers to you fellas out there.
• 1:16:47
  Appreciate y'all appreciate y'all listening to us tonight,
• 1:16:51
  but yeah man, we got a crowd, but yeah, blaze a little.
• 1:16:53
  Crowd for a Monday following the Super Super Bowl, that's also a.
• 1:16:56
  Good little. Crowd 20 or 30 people back
• 1:16:58
  there, so not bad. Let's talk about props just for
• 1:17:01
  a second. We'll kind of start to wrap
• 1:17:02
  everything up. What's your favorite thing to
• 1:17:05
  eat? It pops.
• 1:17:07
  What's your favorite favorite appetizer?
• 1:17:10
  Let's start there. Let's start with an appetizer.
• 1:17:13
  Man, so one or two appetizers, Yeah.
• 1:17:14
  So dude, they've got, they've got two food trucks here.
• 1:17:16
  They do, they do a like a traditional food truck and they
• 1:17:20
  just got fryers like before you could get like a burger.
• 1:17:23
  You could get different, you know, sandwiches, but it's
• 1:17:25
  usually either potato salad or chips, which the potato salad is
• 1:17:28
  actually really good here. I could lather myself.
• 1:17:32
  Oh my gosh. And they do these giant pretzels
• 1:17:34
  that they make. They're so good.
• 1:17:35
  But now they've added a fryer. So now we have out there in the
• 1:17:39
  food truck, they've got wings, they got French fries, they got
• 1:17:41
  onion rings. Oh, man, it's really, dude,
• 1:17:45
  their their their food here is amazing there.
• 1:17:47
  Then they have a Taco truck, right?
• 1:17:49
  So they don't have the Taco truck.
• 1:17:50
  And they're actually, I think they're revamping that thing
• 1:17:52
  right now with the recipes and everything just to bring in
• 1:17:54
  more, just really kind of juice that thing up a little bit more.
• 1:17:59
  And then they rotate different food trucks throughout the week
• 1:18:03
  that come through here that sit on because they've got four pads
• 1:18:05
  out there to host multiple food trucks.
• 1:18:07
  So they got to call the truck out there and there's something
• 1:18:10
  else out there to serve some type of AI.
• 1:18:11
  Forget what that's called. It's like a dessert deal.
• 1:18:13
  But dude, I think it's five pads actually.
• 1:18:16
  Yeah, I mean, really nice pads out here on on the wing and a
• 1:18:19
  little covered area that you walk out to these food trucks.
• 1:18:22
  So dude, if you come here, there's plenty of food options
• 1:18:24
  to eat, I mean. And then next door at the
• 1:18:26
  general store, which is right next door, you can get a pizza
• 1:18:28
  if you want. A pizza.
• 1:18:29
  They cook pizza there all day. So good pizza and bring that
• 1:18:32
  over here as well. It actually is really good
• 1:18:33
  pizza. And so, yeah, you can get pizza
• 1:18:36
  there. You can get burgers, you can get
• 1:18:38
  sandwiches, you can get, man, you can get everything, you
• 1:18:40
  know, wings again in the rotating food trucks are always
• 1:18:43
  phenomenal. So plenty of plenty of food
• 1:18:45
  options if you decide to come out here.
• 1:18:47
  Oh yeah. Amanda says Cousin's main
• 1:18:49
  lobster truck tile. What?
• 1:18:50
  What? What tell me about?
• 1:18:53
  That get those lobster rolls they are so Dang good, man.
• 1:18:57
  When that when that when that truck's here it lines up dude.
• 1:19:00
  That line gets deep on the on that and they'll they'll sell
• 1:19:03
  out of those lobster rolls too. And you can get the cold
• 1:19:06
  traditional or you can get hot. You know like they got multiple
• 1:19:09
  different options on those lobster rolls.
• 1:19:11
  But they are absolutely divine, dude.
• 1:19:14
  And the pricing's actually pretty reasonable because you
• 1:19:16
  know some of those things you get kind of outrageous kind of
• 1:19:18
  quick because it's lobster, right.
• 1:19:20
  But it's actually pretty reasonable prices.
• 1:19:22
  It's it's not too bad. So Yep, that is a good one.
• 1:19:25
  So yeah man, you got a lot of lot of beer options.
• 1:19:27
  There's always entertainment here man.
• 1:19:29
  I mean something. I mean we're the Entertainment
• 1:19:31

• 1:20:15
  whenever I lived there, that these things would happen.
• 1:20:18
  You are getting to enjoy the the fruits of the labor.
• 1:20:22

• 1:20:38
  general. Right.

  And. Right, which is just a an
• 1:20:40
  amazing. And he was a fan of Props
• 1:20:42
  brewery and This is why the guys from Props are here.
• 1:20:44
  So that helped out when they ended up having to close their
• 1:20:47
  store in Fort Walton. There they they had like a, it
• 1:20:52
  wasn't like like they've got a place in Fort Walton now they
• 1:20:54
  brew a lot of their beer, right? This is more of the traditional
• 1:20:56
  brewery where they actually brew.
• 1:20:58
  And then they had like a like a grill place right on Brooks
• 1:21:02
  Bridge. But now they're getting ready to
• 1:21:03
  widen that road. So they've lost that.
• 1:21:06
