- 0:06He really should. He really should.
- 0:08It's a, a technology battle that I think you, you, you already
- 0:12have number one. You have the $800 mic.
- 0:14You got the golden mic. It's the mic we all need.
- 0:17It's the mic we'll all have eventually, you know, make no
- 0:22bones about it. I was just sitting on a wad over
- 0:25there. He kissed my ass.
- 0:26He'd go get one if he wants. One exactly right, but he's just
- 0:29too damn hard headed, isn't he? He refuses to say.
- 0:32I had this conversation last night dude.
- 0:34He's just like, he's just like both of us.
- 0:35We're all fucking psycho. We really are.
- 0:37We're all psycho in our own ways.
- 0:39We are. We're just.
- 0:41I've come to the real. I thought I was.
- 0:43I realized everybody's crazy. Everybody's crazy.
- 0:46Oh, yeah, yeah. Basically us three.
- 0:48We're crazy, though, to tell everybody.
- 0:50I know what's been fun is that they've got the Blasey knew you
- 0:54well ahead of me. I knew of you from the stories
- 0:58of Blasey. And then you've gotten to know
- 0:59me over the years or over the yeah, year, year and a half
- 1:03years. We could say plural at this
- 1:04point. Yeah, for sure.
- 1:06And of course, you've gotten to know me basically just like
- 1:10we're doing right here, right now, face to face over the
- 1:13computer. But man, what a what a time to
- 1:15be alive that we could do that because we couldn't spend all
- 1:19this amount of time that we've gotten to spend without doing it
- 1:22any other way, honestly. No, no, I said that when we were
- 1:25doing Justin's podcast, all those guests we had and people
- 1:27from all over places, even, you know, who we've had on this show
- 1:30from different, you know, several states away and things.
- 1:33I mean, that would be impossible back in the day.
- 1:35I mean, a phone call would have been about as all you could get
- 1:37and somebody would have had to run a line through back end of
- 1:40the phone to try to record it. I mean, it was, you know, and
- 1:43then and then put it in a, put it in a envelope and send it to
- 1:46our somebody to. Make sure cut it up.
- 1:49Put it on a radio station somewhere.
- 1:51Yeah, all that. Unbelievable how it how it's how
- 1:54it's changed. I mean, I would think just from
- 1:57the beginning of you being a tour manager and working with
- 2:00John Party to now currently with what you do with Justin Moore is
- 2:04just a total night and day change.
- 2:07And we'll get into that here in just in just a second.
- 2:11For sure no, but talking about getting to know each other, I
- 2:13hung out with you and Tammy once in my in my hood and then I and
- 2:16then you and Ryles came to a show and it was like it it makes
- 2:19sense, but we act like that's what we we've said the theme of
- 2:22our show since Blasey coined it early episode.
- 2:26It's just spitting truth over here.
- 2:27It's what the Bubba thing it was when we talked about the Bubba
- 2:29things. I'm not picking signs.
- 2:30I'm just telling you what happened.
- 2:31This is it. These are facts.
- 2:32It's true. We just act like ourselves on
- 2:34here. So when I finally did get to run
- 2:35into you exactly, you know what I mean.
- 2:37I already knew. And I knew you had to be a
- 2:39little, had to be a little cracked to want to hang out with
- 2:42Blasey on The Reg. So.
- 2:44Hell, anybody should be, you know what I mean?
- 2:46It's not. Oh yeah, 3.
- 2:48He'll I idolize him, still do, and I know he's crying.
- 2:52I don't, but I love him. Yes, now he's in character.
- 2:57This is the guy I met. Yeah.
- 2:58He comes up, rolls up, shakes my hand, breaks my pinky.
- 3:01I watch you go out there and talk to the prettiest girl,
- 3:03drive away the coolest car. I'm like listening to the
- 3:05hottest music. I'm like, He had the fresh polo
- 3:08on. Everybody else's was just a
- 3:09little dingy because we had to wash it a few times.
- 3:11He had that fresh one on because a special additive to his wash
- 3:14in college. He had an off ball 475 right
- 3:17down the damn middle. Oh, that.
- 3:19Oh yeah, he was the hell. He was on the track.
- 3:20He'd go out there on our intramurals and beat the track
- 3:22team in track and field events after we'd had a party the night
- 3:26before. That part's true.
- 3:28The rest of it, I don't know about all that, but I do
- 3:30appreciate it, you know? I'll take it.
- 3:33I bet you do. That's the guy driving the
- 3:34coolest truck and having the, you know, the DVD player in
- 3:37there before I even seen one in a vehicle.

- 5:11Jump in that chat with us, man. It has been blowing up.
- 5:14We've been having a a ton of fun.
- 5:16Jr. was in there on Thursday. Little little truth behind this.
- 5:22I think we mentioned it on last week's Bubba Bubba podcast.
- 5:25It was very fresh. We recorded last Thursday at
- 5:28noon. Jr. was not able to attend.
- 5:31Jr. Give everybody the reasons of
- 5:33your performance last week. There's no performance.
- 5:37Yeah, no lack thereof. Just missed the bus.
- 5:40This was like the time I was late to late to the day of
- 5:45Elmore County Basketball tournament.
- 5:46Senior year in high school basketball.
- 5:48I show up late to bus call, miss the bus, have to drive myself to
- 5:51Wetumpka or Prattville, wherever we were playing and coach
- 5:55bitches, man, I have to sit there, watch the whole game and
- 5:57drive myself home just because I was late.
- 5:59It it's some things never change.
- 6:00But no, I was on the road. We had played the Louisville
- 6:03state or Kentucky State fair on Wednesday.
- 6:06We were going to record the next day on at noon and I woke up at
- 6:11the crack of 1:00 PM and I just started a whole podcast.
- 6:16It was a it was a long run. I was, you know, this whole last
- 6:20few weeks and then that Alaska doozy.
- 6:23I'm telling you, boys. Jet lag and.
- 6:25I'm running on Steam. It's all I can do.
- 6:28It's all I can do but it but it not nothing on the podcast, just
- 6:31in general, you know, it's just that dog days of summer, you
- 6:34know, summertime Blues, all them.
- 6:35They don't write songs about it because it don't happen.
- 6:38And you know, it's just, I was lagging a little.
- 6:42I have literally been since we got back from the Alaska trip, I
- 6:45have not ate, slept and everything's just been off.
- 6:49Like I've slept in the middle of the day, not slept at night, not
- 6:51wanting to eat, eaten. Crazy stuff.
- 6:53But I feel like I'm going to get over this hump here soon.
- 6:56Get back adjusted. Probably not this week because
- 6:58I'm going to get in the morning. New York City tomorrow, so.
- 7:01JRI looked at the tour schedule. Brother, I don't think this road
- 7:05gets any easier for you over the next couple of months.
- 7:09Yep, Yep, Yep. Hey, you know, it's like you
- 7:11look back, all the things you dream about.
- 7:13Yeah, It's like all the things you dream about when you're on
- 7:15the way up, you know, then you get there.
- 7:18It's like, shit, watch out if it rolled like this.
- 7:22But dream bigger. That's what I always tell
- 7:24people, dream bigger. But no, it's fine.
- 7:25It's just one of those things you know, and just pacing
- 7:29yourself and and, and being prepared.
- 7:31You know I've got a lot of irons in the fire at home too.
- 7:34And I mean obviously doing this, you know, 6-8 hours a week as we
- 7:37do it takes up a little time. So it's the crunch in there and
- 7:42hell, I'll be 45 in two weeks boys.
- 7:44You know I'm feeling a little I know y'all are y'all are ringing
- 7:46up rung the bell. Y'all get it?
- 7:47So it's, you know, and this and I'm not and with the I hadn't
- 7:51been taking care of myself either.
- 7:52I ain't going I ain't going to say it's all on all the out
- 7:54external factors. I haven't been eating right.
- 7:56I could do better at that. I haven't been in the gym.
- 7:58I could do better at that. You know, that's that's on me.
- 8:01But a combination of the few I'm running at like 6050 five, 60%
- 8:06of this machine's capability right now.
- 8:08But I'm after New York. We got a bunch of southern dates
- 8:11where it's leave on Wednesday, get home on Sunday, you know,
- 8:14Charlotte, Raleigh, Arkansas, making, you know, normal runs,
- 8:19not voodoo. Wisconsin at the very top of the
- 8:22earth and then back across to New Mexico.
- 8:25And then, then, now we've been to Alaska, to Washington, DC,
- 8:29then home, then now, then to Wisconsin back and now New York
- 8:34City. And leaving New York City after
- 8:37the show, we're playing Fox and Friends that morning.
- 8:39After the show, we'll go back to the airport for a noon flight.
- 8:43So the thing why I'm in New York City, got to be on site about
- 8:453:30 in the morning to get to get stuff ready for this Fox and
- 8:48Friends deal. I'll get on the airplane at noon
- 8:51that day, go to Arkansas, get on the bus because we got a show
- 8:54that next day in South Arkansas. Now are y'all bringing your own
- 8:57gear to all of these shows? Alaska and all of that or what?
- 9:01No. Fox no Alaska, you'll do what
- 9:04they call a fly date will advance back line production.
- 9:07They'll have, you know, guitars. They're in cinema list of all
- 9:11that. So yeah, well, I will bring
- 9:12guitars and and some things, bass guitars, some drum heads.
- 9:16Our crew all have Pelican cases with exactly what they need,
- 9:18microphones in ear monitors, wireless packs, that kind of
- 9:22stuff. We advance as much as we can
- 9:24when it's that far off. And then for like a Fox and
- 9:27friends, they have it in house. They do it every week.
- 9:30They got all their stuff. There's New York City till you
- 9:32get anything you need. That's that's the big thing
- 9:34about a Family Day. If you're doing a family date
- 9:36somewhere off the middle of nowhere and they got to get
- 9:39gear. The biggest town they got is
- 9:40Omaha and that's two hours one way.
- 9:42You'll be a little limited on gear.
- 9:43You play in New York, LA, Chicago, you got big.
- 9:47It's going, you know, you get whatever you want somebody.
- 9:48Down the street, they got it. They got the best and they've
- 9:52got the in. The building probably.
- 9:53Yeah. I mean it's craziest stuff as
- 9:55you can imagine. So but they then we just
- 9:58bouncing forth back between those and buses.
- 10:00But 90% of our stuff is bus. I mean, rarely do we do fly
- 10:03dates. That Alaska thing, that's
- 10:04usually a once a year thing. When we go to Alaska, Hawaii,
- 10:08Mexico, you know, even Canada, we usually do once or twice.
- 10:12But we bust it because if you look at Canada, it's huge up
- 10:15there, but there's only one little spot where there's any
- 10:17action on the East Coast, and then there's two places on the
- 10:20West Coast that are still 8 hours from anywhere.
- 10:24Man, just banging back. Hey, let me let me ask you this
- 10:26on this Fox and friends deal. I'm trying to remember y'all set
- 10:28up. He plays like on a stage outside
- 10:30right throughout the morning, like multiply two or three
- 10:33different songs. Yeah.
- 10:34Yeah, we play. We actually play for like an
- 10:36hour. Yeah, OK.
- 10:37Yeah. They only clip and record some
- 10:39of it, and they use some for other stuff.
- 10:41And there's a crowd out there. Oh, and the last few times
- 10:43protesters for anything you can think of lined up around the
- 10:46street, you know, and just random.
- 10:49I mean, it's just why it's New York, man.
- 10:51Yeah. It's why walking through there,
- 10:52you know? Yeah, we'll have to be checking
- 10:54that out because what What'll be coolest podcast should be
- 10:56dropped and then people can go check.
- 10:58Do you know the time slot at all or is it just?
- 11:00I'll find out. It's early.
- 11:02It's early in the morning. Yeah, we'll.
- 11:04Be watching. On air 70 something, 8
- 11:06something. Yeah, be watching Fox Friends.
- 11:08You might see the handler working around the stage there a
- 11:10little. Bit Oh yeah, I'll make, I'll
- 11:12have that Bubba, I'll have that Bubba koozie trying to sneak it
- 11:14in like I'll make sure I'm on stage on a film segment on the
- 11:17side and have the koozie pointing the right way that.
- 11:20'D be awesome. You'll love that.
- 11:22I wear my air Bubba shirt that way if I could.
- 11:24Really, I think you should I. Usually go full Pearl snap.
- 11:28I go full cowboy, but most of my stuff's on the bus, so I'm just
- 11:30taking like a duffel bag full of two night cowboy outfits, you
- 11:35know? So it'll be a little more tame
- 11:37down. It'll be a little more tame down
- 11:39on these. Well, Speaking of, Speaking of
- 11:41Bubba stuff, man, last night did a fantasy football draft.
- 11:45My son let me back up. My son did a fantasy football
- 11:49draft last night at Buffalo Wild Wings.
- 11:52It was, it was hilarious. They're all a bunch of 6th
- 11:54graders. Got pretty intense, but I'm
- 11:57sitting there talking. It was fun because I just had to
- 12:00set him up on his iPad getting ready to rock'n'roll and I just
- 12:03hung out and. Watch his little Brian go to
- 12:05work. Yeah, and just just just watched
- 12:09him work and it was fun. But I I was visiting with a
- 12:11buddy of mine, Lance, and he was telling me that he was on a Zoom
- 12:16call this past week. I think he said Friday, this
- 12:19past Friday. And he comes into this call,
- 12:22he's in sales, he comes into the call.
- 12:25These guys are hot. They're going in, they're going
- 12:27in, they're talking. They're already just in the
- 12:29middle of some conversation and it's all about wrestling.
- 12:32He wasn't expecting this because these cats are from Minnesota.
- 12:35Not that that means anything. I mean, Brock, Brock Lesnar is
- 12:40from freaking Minnesota, I'm pretty sure.
- 12:43So who cares? But.
- 12:44WA was out of Minnesota for a. Year.
- 12:46But he was just not expecting to.
- 12:48He wasn't expecting to tap into that Zoom call and hear them
- 12:51talking about wrestling and then bam, somehow or another he he's
- 12:55a huge wrestling fan and I'm gonna have him on the show.
- 12:58He's he does fishing stuff and things like that.
- 13:01And I'm like, Lance, just come on the show.
- 13:03He he has a he has a couple of fishing videos.
- 13:07It's had millions of views. He was out fishing in this P row
- 13:10and not AP wasn't AP row. It was a kayak.
- 13:13But yeah, I mean, we're in Louisiana.
- 13:15Let's make it sound better. He's out the kayak and an
- 13:18alligator came up right by like a 1415 foot alligator.
- 13:23That video went viral. So anyhow, I want to get Lance
- 13:25on, but he to get to the point of this story, he asked them did
- 13:30they know anything about Bubba the love sponge?
- 13:32To which they responded, yes, They knew exactly who that was.
- 13:38And then it their conversation got a little bit more to where
- 13:42they they had to kind of just move back to business as they
- 13:45started kind of peeling it. A couple of guys, he said, knew
- 13:48who was, a couple of them didn't, so that's pretty funny.
- 13:54That's funny. Hey, the, the, the, you know
- 13:57that wrestling hit the bubble. Being involved in the wrestling.
- 13:59People who aren't into wrestling don't understand how big the
- 14:03wrestling world is. Like I can remember when I when,
- 14:05when just I would tell him stuff he's like how I was like he say
- 14:09it's a lot bigger than people thinking I was a huge dude.
- 14:11The Internet wrestling community itself is, you think about how
- 14:16many fans from how many decades love wrestling and they're still
- 14:19churning them out now. I mean, it's it's as big as any
- 14:22other sport really. I mean really tell you right
- 14:24now. The people who don't know about
- 14:26it wouldn't think that, but everyone inside knows.
- 14:30It's like being into comic, Comic Con stuff or anything like
- 14:33that. People from the outside don't
- 14:34realize how big that is, but when you get there, you're like,
- 14:35good Lord. Well, a lot of those guys
- 14:38intertwined, like DDP does a lot of those Comic Con things and it
- 14:43it's interesting how and actors and old movies and stuff.
- 14:46I mean, it's a it's a great way to continue to make a living off
- 14:50of your name and image and likeness.
- 14:52You're Yeah, that's your. And provide somebody, provide
- 14:55somebody that entertainment and that memory because you know,
- 14:57somebody who goes and sits and sees, I don't know, Dolph
- 15:00Lundgren hanging out at a Comic Con.
- 15:03And then next to say the DDP or somebody, dude that's bringing
- 15:06them back. They're getting a piece of that
- 15:07great memory and their time in their life and they're getting
- 15:10to actually see and be around somebody who was involved.
- 15:13It's not watching, you know, Paul Newman on a movie.
- 15:16You never going to get to talk to Paul Newman, but you get to
- 15:19say hey to the undertaker at some point in your life.
- 15:22You know what I mean? You get to take a picture with
- 15:24the taker or a picture with. You know, stone cold, like stone
- 15:28cold. Anything like absolutely,
- 15:30absolutely. Or or the the guy who wrote some
- 15:34horror movie or whatever you're into, you know, whatever, or
- 15:37created some video game. I mean, there's, you know, you
- 15:40take a Stan Lee or somebody or that's the Mecca.
- 15:43But you know, people under that umbrella, there's, there's
- 15:45people that kids like Riley's age now know that we don't even
- 15:49know about that they would fill it up too.
- 15:51It's like the, you know, the, the Taylor Swift deal and all
- 15:54that stuff. For sure, for sure.
- 15:57Tammy, my, my wife got a little, she, she saw on the counter
- 16:00yesterday this little piece of paper and it was to join a club
- 16:04at school, the 6th grade Dungeons and Dragons club.
- 16:09And, and, and Tammy went, oh Lord, do you think he's, I said
- 16:14I, he let him go for it. I mean, what's wrong with that?
- 16:17He's been into Pokémon. He likes football, you know what
- 16:20I mean? It is what it is.
- 16:22Yeah. Dude, that it hasn't been
- 16:24around. It had that thing.
- 16:25What? How long has Dungeon drag me
- 16:27around? 75 years.
- 16:28It ain't been around that long because it's people don't like
- 16:31it. Obviously a lot of people are
- 16:32into it. Yeah.
- 16:32Exactly. And they're going to be playing
- 16:34the card game version of like the old school.
- 16:36I never played it. I never got into it, but I think
- 16:39had I had I been exposed to it, I probably would have enjoyed
- 16:42it. I think it's what's that?
- 16:45What's that show that's on Netflix?
- 16:47It's Stranger Things that that they play that in that and he's
- 16:52he's been watching that over the summer.
- 16:54I think that's kind of what. That kind of bubbled this thing
- 16:57up for him a little bit being. From the sticks, like anime and
- 17:00things we I got a very little touch of that with like Voltron
- 17:03and some of those type things you would get to to get.
- 17:06But we were all into comic books, which was still
- 17:08considering the same thing. You know, the precursed all that
- 17:12Dungeons and Dragons held the title forever.
- 17:14But I remember my little brother, who's only four years
- 17:16younger than me, got into Magic the gathering when it was new,
- 17:21you know, so this would have been like mid 90s or so and it
- 17:24was new and I thought it was silly because I'm like, we're
- 17:25into superheroes, like fighting not why don't you understand how
- 17:28this game works? You know, because I never played
- 17:30Dungeon Dragons. I knew people.
- 17:31I didn't know how it worked. Well, hindsight.
- 17:33He's got a box of had we put those things in sleeves and
- 17:35saved them. I can retire.
- 17:39I thought it was, I didn't know what it was.
- 17:40I thought it was just a little gimmick game.
- 17:42You know, 30 years later, it's huge.
- 17:44Those cards are worth thousands of dollars if you've got the
- 17:47right ones. And people are playing worldwide
- 17:49tournaments. It's in a hundred, a hundred
- 17:51countries. I mean, you know, things like
- 17:53that, you know? Yeah.
- 17:56Sailor Moon, I mean, all that anime stuff, that stuff's even
- 18:00over here. I mean it's.
- 18:01Huge that true? It's bad.
- 18:03I mean, it's as big as it gets. It's.
- 18:05Crazy, all the little niches and different things that are out
- 18:08there. There's a there's a couple in in
- 18:10our neighborhood I see up at the brewery a lot and their son
- 18:12who's I want to say he's 16 or 17 right now.
- 18:16He's 17. But for like the last year he
- 18:18has been traveling the world. He is one of the top gamers for
- 18:23It's the Internet game where these cars play soccer against
- 18:26each other, you know? What I'm talking about, yeah.
- 18:28It's a computer based game. He's one of the best yes and
- 18:31rocket league hey, they pay him like 150 grand a year base pay
- 18:34for all his travel, pay for everything expense wise.
- 18:37Then he gets commissioned on top of what they win.
- 18:40He I mean he's he this kids making like a half $1,000,000 a
- 18:42year and he travels around the world literally playing the same
- 18:46game. It's and I was like so Dang
- 18:48awesome, but it's like, what do I do?
- 18:49He's like, you go, you know what I mean?
- 18:51Like we can go back into school later, like, you know what I
- 18:54mean? Let's see how much cash you
- 18:55stack up, you know? So anyway, I just thought that
- 18:58that was just kind of super cool.
- 19:00He's, of course the same thing. Yeah, a niche thing like that.
- 19:03Yeah. Wow.
- 19:04Huge. Time is your most valuable
- 19:06asset. I mean it.
- 19:08That's just a fact. I did a little calculation
- 19:10today, boys. I've had had something that I
- 19:13saw on the Internet from our good friend Mr. Paul Rogers.
- 19:17He, he discussed this, he's talking about his Apple Watch
- 19:22and his move rings and he has his calories set and all that.
- 19:25I've been on a 13130 day streak of hitting my move goal of 700
- 19:32calories per day. That's not why I'm subtly
- 19:35flexing on this. I'm flexing on this because
- 19:39Apple Watch, the latest operating system that's coming
- 19:43out, the beta 11, it's going to allow you to pause streaks.
- 19:50Like my 13130 day streak is an actual streak.
- 19:55Like it's been 1330 days in a row now.
- 20:00Have there been times in that 13130 that I wanted to pause
- 20:04this thing and take a weekend off?
- 20:07Hell yes. Yeah, for sure.
- 20:10But isn't that the whole point of a streak?
- 20:13Yeah, why would they change? That that's crazy.
- 20:15Why would they do that? Yeah, you should be able to set
- 20:17up something separate. You should be able to do up
- 20:19something separate to log your things to keep up with overtime,
- 20:22but it's not a streak if you break it at any point.
- 20:25Exactly, exactly random things that I have on my list that I'm
- 20:30looking at and. We don't need to go down, we
- 20:32don't need to go down that road of things that we are making
- 20:35softer and and weaker by the day for whatever reason.
- 20:39I was listening to NPR. You know, they're they're
- 20:41bringing the I think it's the ACT they're they're making.
- 20:44They're bringing the ACT down to a shorter time.
- 20:47So it won't be 2 1/2 hours anymore to be a good
- 20:50considerable amount less. They're going from 200 and
- 20:53something questions down 170. A lot of it's going to be
- 20:57multiple choice and it's going to be less choices on the
- 20:59multiple choice. I'm like, so we making things,
- 21:03how do we get better if we're making things easier?
- 21:05That's not the answer, right? And that is not the answer to
- 21:08anything in life, Flora. Bama Old River Grill offers the
- 21:11best dining experience on the Gulf Coast.

- 21:36for more info. Hey, I got something really cool
- 21:41today in the mail. I had no idea what it was this
- 21:44big heavy box and I open it up and I was like, man, what is
- 21:48this? I don't know who this is from.
- 21:50You know, it's like, you know, this all the stuff out, there's
- 21:52all these packages in there and dudes, all that T bird
- 21:55seasoning. Man, Oh yeah, my.
- 21:57Gosh, and sauces and salsa and everything else.
- 22:00So. There, there he is.
- 22:02There he is. That's that avocado Serrano.
- 22:05Yeah. Man, that stuff is killer.
- 22:08Yeah, Cherise. But I hear the I hear the mail
- 22:10lady ring the doorbell. Dog barks A little bit later,
- 22:12Cherise goes the front door. She closes door, doesn't bring
- 22:15in the mail. She said something for you, it
- 22:17says fragile glass. I didn't want to mess with it.
- 22:19I was like, all right, I pick it up.
- 22:21Same thing. I'm like man, it very well
- 22:23wrapped too. Oh yeah, good use.
- 22:25Of of postal postal supplies. Absolutely.
- 22:28That's what I thought about. I saved a few that worked
- 22:32hardness to go use them for my for my stuff.
- 22:34Hey, that's obviously they've shipped some stuff and they've
- 22:37had something break and they've learned their lessons that
- 22:40night. Oh yeah.
- 22:41Out of Marshall, TX here you got T Birds original BBQ sauce and
- 22:45glaze. You know that's going to go on.
- 22:47Something. Oh man.
- 22:49I got another bottle here, there was 3/3 glass jars so it's good
- 22:53thing they did that. If it would have been the
- 22:55typical, you know, heavy cardboard and plastic deals.
- 22:59The T birds honey cayenne BBQ sauce.
- 23:03That looks from diddly umptious. As Austin Dennis says, the Holy
- 23:08Grail of BBQ. Is that?
- 23:10It so that's so that's the one right there that's.
- 23:12The one that's the one. Here's the difference in them.
- 23:15The blue bottle is just the the regular.
- 23:19It's sweet. It's going to be kind of like
- 23:21your typical sweet Southern Molassesy BBQ, but it's not not
- 23:27thick. It's a little bit of a thinner
- 23:29sauce. You can look in that bottle when
- 23:31you move it, that sauce will move a little bit.
- 23:33Oh yeah, See, it moves a little bit.
- 23:35Oh yeah. And they're both the same exact
- 23:38sauce. The biggest the difference is,
- 23:40is the honey. Cayenne has honey, and it has a
- 23:43little more honey and it has cayenne in it.
- 23:46So it's just honey pride. It's the blue sauce.
- 23:48Coagulate a little bit. Heavier, OK, OK.
- 23:50It's just a little viscosity in one than than the other two I.
- 23:53Didn't realize that the color code here they have, which is
- 23:56smart on their end to keep things color-coded and not just
- 23:59a different, you know label arrangement.
- 24:01You actually have the whole packaging that way, like the
- 24:03green. You obviously know that's the
- 24:04avocado. But then even on their rubs here
- 24:07I've got one that says T birds wicked chicken rub that this if
- 24:12y'all could when y'all get I know everybody's going to get
- 24:14them a can. It's got this war bird rooster
- 24:17with a axe and camo shorts. I mean, this guy looks ready for
- 24:21business. Don't.
- 24:23He he could have been a GI Joe as a.
- 24:25Bad guy or? Or or Ninja Turtles or
- 24:28something. And then this other ones we got
- 24:30T birds all-purpose BBQ rub. You know, that's just going to
- 24:33go on everything that is going to be fantastic on that's going
- 24:36to go on a elk steak for me soon.
- 24:38That's going to be an elk steak for there.
- 24:40You're going to love it. Hey, with hey, while we're
- 24:42giving shout outs and and not that not that I don't appreciate
- 24:46all of them individually and as a unit, but thanks to all of the
- 24:49people who who send us cool stuff and one of our guests that
- 24:52was on a few weeks ago. I finally got my supplies in
- 24:56from him at I cook. You look, I got the nice and
- 24:58slow and the any reason season, which I actually I'm going to
- 25:03take. Sorry, T birds.
- 25:04I'm going this first on that elk because I promised him and then
- 25:07I'm going T birds may even do a comparison, but I'm going to
- 25:10tell you and I bet they both get a 10 so.
- 25:13Thank you and I know they're. Going to be that good I'm not
- 25:16going to be able to split hairs I'm.
- 25:18Not it is splitting hairs. You can't go wrong.
- 25:21You can go and get Austin's at icookyoulook.com.
- 25:25Go and check out his stuff and you can get that T birds amazing
- 25:29BBQ sauce in those rubs as well at Iron Smoke Craft BBQ.
- 25:36It's iron smoke bbq.com, ironsmokebbq.com and go support
- 25:42those guys, their local businesses.
- 25:44They're doing doing their things.
- 25:46We like to support them but as well.
- 25:49But I can tell you this, the T Birds is 10 out of 10.
- 25:54It's been my secret sauce. I'm letting this go finally a
- 25:57little bit. I mean, they need to sell some
- 26:00stuff. It's.
- 26:02I guess I got the secret's out, the secret's out.
- 26:06I mean, they're both, they're both coming from Texas.
- 26:08You know Texas knows what's up with some BBQ.
- 26:10They do I. Mean it's going to be good, you
- 26:13know what it is and how can you? Can you ever have enough BBQ
- 26:15stuff? No, never.
- 26:18No, there's not enough of it out there.
- 26:19That's why folks can continue to make seasonings, like give us a
- 26:24little feedback out there. Absolutely.
- 26:26And I'll confess, Army would y'all like see a Tigs bit
- 26:28seasoning? Yeah, I rotate through them that
- 26:32I'll think of something that needs this and or somebody I
- 26:35know what they like and I'm like who they would love this.
- 26:37Let me use this. This is right up there alley.
- 26:39You know you you got if you like to cook, which most of us do,
- 26:43and we definitely like to eat. So you can always, you can
- 26:45always be if you you don't like to cook, you can still
- 26:48participate in purchasing, buying, arranging, shipping,
- 26:51selling, helping out, learn passing the knowledge of all
- 26:54these fine sauces and seasons by getting someone who does know
- 26:58how to cook or likes to cook some for a holiday or just a
- 27:01gift. You know, Hey, I, I'm not going
- 27:03to help you cook today, but I brought you a big old thing of
- 27:06rub to use. It sure is good.
- 27:08That's right. That is right.
- 27:09And you go sit back down and drink beer and watch and talk
- 27:11while they do all the work. I've been doing it for years.
- 27:13I made a video. I made a good little video with
- 27:16that with the Turkey. I cooked a boneless Turkey, just
- 27:20you know, your basic Turkey, but I used the wicked chicken rub
- 27:23and another sauce. My my tea, Russ is Cypress dust
- 27:27that y'all should be getting some of that soon as well.
- 27:31And then at the I use I cook some chicken thighs, some
- 27:35chicken hips over the weekend and finally got to use Austin's.
- 27:38I cook you. Look, I use the slow and slow
- 27:42BBQ rub. Yeah, that's gonna be good for
- 27:45chicken and pork. It's got a little more sugar in
- 27:47it. Fantastic.
- 27:49I had something, actually. Actually, I had some chicken
- 27:51thighs at lunch today. I had it today.
- 27:54What am I thinking? I had it for what?
- 27:56I've had it the last three days. Who am I kidding?
- 27:59Tearing up these chicken thighs, huh?
- 28:01Big chicken thigh guy. I love them.
- 28:03Yeah, I'm going to start making room for seasoning.
- 28:05I was just looking on the table. I had a bunch of stuff out.
- 28:08I was like, man, my seasoning and sauce game is really
- 28:10exploded here. The last show has helped.
- 28:13It really has and it's fun. I made some nuclear chicken was
- 28:17it thighs or legs last week because I was trying to finish
- 28:20up a big same size, a big jar of Rouses Cajun season.
- 28:23Just their regular Rouses Cajun season had about that much in
- 28:26the bottom of the jar. But I'm like, I need the space
- 28:29for one of these new. I need the space for my 2
- 28:33Cypress dust that came and I'm like, well, I'll just finish it
- 28:36off. So I caked them on.
- 28:37They're good. And I hadn't had I hadn't used
- 28:38that in a while. It's got a little kick to it.
- 28:41Hey man, those legs, heavy handler, man, they were spicy.
- 28:44They were wake you up. I told Cherise I ate one by.
- 28:47So we might have to make chicken salad out of this, tame it down,
- 28:50you know, a little Mayo. But yeah, so we'll do it.
- 28:54Speaking. Speaking of food, of course, we
- 28:56love that I sent this to you guys just a little bit before we
- 29:00before we jumped on this story will be this story will be
- 29:03Evergreen for a while. There is an uptick in sausage
- 29:08demand right now across America and I read this article on CNBC.
- 29:14Of course, this can it can be a sign for consumers or that
- 29:18consumers are tightening their belts as they're grappling with
- 29:22the the high prices in the in the grocery stores.
- 29:25I can attest for that dude. I mean.
- 29:28It's a lot. It's a lot cheaper to make your
- 29:30own sausage. Everybody listen out there.
- 29:32I like to make mine. It's you can go.
- 29:35If you can get a Boston Butt on sale, $0.99 a pound, you can get
- 29:40you, you know, 1520 LB. But then you could you've got
- 29:44$30 you can spend, you can grind that up, bake that into your
- 29:48sausage and you got 30 lbs of sausage for 30 bucks.
- 29:51That's a heck of a lot cheaper than any pack of Kaneka you can
- 29:55buy the best in the world Kaneka that you can buy.
- 29:59But and and our and our friends who are they place.
- 30:04Kelly sausage. Kelly sausage in Elba, AL.
- 30:07That's right. Yeah, man, it's, it's kind of
- 30:10interesting, but it, you know, makes perfect sense.
- 30:12People looking for a protein source.
- 30:13Sausage is good. You get a pound of sausage, make
- 30:16some red beans and rice. You got, you know, $7.00 in a
- 30:18meal, you know, with the family, you know, I mean versus versus
- 30:21going and getting a steak and, you know.
- 30:23Bacon and sausage sausage go a long ways.
- 30:27Yep, Yep, absolutely, absolutely.
- 30:29So I. Had when I got home last night.
- 30:30Charisse had purple whole peas with some nice hunks of that
- 30:33butcher box bacon in there and a side of brown rice.
- 30:36Couple chicken breasts. I mean I didn't.
- 30:38I went straight for the peas. I didn't even eat my chicken
- 30:40breast till today for lunch. I just peed they.
- 30:43Were so good had some nice bacon up in it oh she had it just.
- 30:45Right. Oh man.
- 30:47But but that's interesting, and you're right, Brantley, and a
- 30:50lot of things are that way. You can go pay whatever you
- 30:52want, like even good barbecue. And I want people to go, if
- 30:55you're traveling, you're going somewhere, you know there's good
- 30:57there, get it. But if you're at home and
- 30:59you're, you need to, you need to save a buck or two for a week,
- 31:01same thing. Go to the grocery store, don't
- 31:03have a plan. I'm going to get steak or I'm
- 31:05going to go see what they got. Find you a good deal on
- 31:08something. Cook it at home and I've seen
- 31:10and talking about cooking now we talked about the nice grills and
- 31:13I don't have nice grills. I have grills, but I don't mind
- 31:15aren't mind are old tired, smallest Traeger they make, but
- 31:18it's all I need and and if you got a good one, that's great
- 31:20too. There's nothing wrong with
- 31:21either one. But I have seen fantastic meals
- 31:24cooked on open flame on a Dang burn barrel with some wood, you
- 31:29know, logs in the bottom over a grate.
- 31:31I've seen it cooked on a open pit with just charcoals and
- 31:37people wrap it real tight and aluminum foil.
- 31:38Just stick it in there and that kind of stuff, you know, over
- 31:41the years you can make. So you ain't got to go by.
- 31:43You ain't got, you can't say I already got $1000 grill, so I
- 31:46can't, I can't cook nothing. No, you can cook something you
- 31:48want to. You can.
- 31:49Go get you an old Smokey. There's 70 bucks you could cook
- 31:53a whole brisket on a big old the $70.00 old Smokey.
- 31:57Yeah, that thing will last you 5-6 years and.
- 32:00You're the other one. In 5-6.
- 32:02Years, I know we all try not to do it, but if you go to fast
- 32:05food now you're spending 10 bucks to get full.
- 32:07I mean, it's only full for a few hours.
- 32:09So if you take three people say and you spend 30 bucks, like you
- 32:12said, you go buy a huge thing of leg quarters or whatever is the
- 32:15deal is that day and you get you a nice thing, a good seasoning,
- 32:20a couple of veggies, potatoes, you know, rice is always good.
- 32:24I don't care what nobody says. I don't know what if it's on a
- 32:26diet or not, I'm always going to eat rice.
- 32:27Rice is just part of it seems like a staple in the world for,
- 32:32you know, so and then just some veggies, you know, anything you
- 32:37anything you can think of, anything, you know, zucchini,
- 32:40squash, cauliflower, whatever they got that looks good and on
- 32:43sale, whatever's the bang for the buck that week.
- 32:45And you get 30 bucks in and you can feed everybody multiple
- 32:49meals. You got plenty to eat, you know
- 32:50what I mean? And it's not, you know, for the
- 32:52same bang. And if you try to go eat that
- 32:55same meal out somewhere, you're talking about 30 bucks per
- 32:57person at least. Absolutely.
- 32:59And and you go like you're talking about the fast food
- 33:01deal. I hadn't had fast food in over a
- 33:03month, not one time. And it's dude, I feel so much
- 33:05better. That's all empty, empty calorie
- 33:07crap too, man. To begin with, like you said,
- 33:09you're full and then two hours later you're hungry again
- 33:11because you just took in garbage.
- 33:12You know what I mean? So you're not getting nutrients
- 33:14for your body. You might have to go to the
- 33:16bathroom in pretty quick short order because that's got to get
- 33:18out of you. But other than that, you ain't
- 33:20getting much out of the damn deal.
- 33:22You said that zucchini got some kind of what that guy say, the
- 33:26zucchini martini bikini. They'll slap chop.
- 33:28Guy vents with a slap chop. Yeah.
- 33:35Hey, man, it makes a lot of sense, especially here in South
- 33:39Louisiana. As you know Jr., you get a lot
- 33:41of those same dishes. Gravies, ricin gravies, pork
- 33:46steaks and gravy. Just gravy.
- 33:49I'm not getting hungry again. And I like it too, because if
- 33:51you like, if you're, if you know, if you're pre buy
- 33:53diabetic, you got some help thing you need to not put so
- 33:55much salt, you need to not put so much butter.
- 33:57You could tame it and use other alternatives.
- 33:59There's ways to get around stuff.
- 34:01You know, there's, there's, there's.
- 34:03It might not taste exactly the same, but it's close enough if
- 34:05you're actually care that you'll do it.
- 34:07You know what I mean? For sure, for sure.
- 34:10Yeah, man, I just found that. Found that to be super
- 34:13interesting. It is but.
- 34:14It may completely make sense that that would be a good
- 34:18indicator. And at the at the end of the
- 34:20article, last thing it says is like, what?
- 34:22What do you take away from this is like, Well, to put it
- 34:24bluntly, it means we're in a recession.
- 34:28Well, hey, you know, if not that we go down any conspiracy roads
- 34:32on this on this show, but you do know who owns Smithfield?
- 34:35Who owns all the pork farms in the Carolinas?
- 34:39Oh, that's our good buddies over there.
- 34:40The red nation of China. They own all of Smithfield is
- 34:43not American. That's all on Yep, all.
- 34:46I don't know the number. It's a huge number of our pork
- 34:48production here in America is owned by the the head company,
- 34:51not the one it's says it's owned by, but the one that owns that
- 34:54company is China, so. Wow.
- 34:57True story. I've I, I.
- 34:59Know that you can tie everything back, a majority of things that
- 35:04are distributed around the United States to back to like
- 35:07100 companies. Yeah, like 98% of America's
- 35:12commerce goes back to the head parent of one of the top 100
- 35:16companies. Yeah, that's this.
- 35:18And this blew my mind when I saw this, you know, But you know,
- 35:22and it's a while that goes back to boys, unless you live in a
- 35:25big, big city and you can still find a local butcher there that
- 35:28you can source. I mean, try to source some of
- 35:30that stuff yourself, especially if you worried about it.
- 35:32Find out what you're doing. Read a label.
- 35:34That's what I was going to say a minute ago.
- 35:35The other thing about cooking at home, too, is you have to
- 35:37actually sit there and wait a second.
- 35:38You're not just sitting in line or sitting at a table playing on
- 35:41your phone till someone brings you this prepared food.
- 35:44You got to get the plate, set the table, get the cups, you
- 35:46know, chop it up, do it up it. And you take some time, some
- 35:49effort. You care about it more.
- 35:50And you, you know, it's, it's it's a better experience and
- 35:53it's probably more the way we're supposed to be living.
- 35:55Not, you know, absolutely given to us all the time now.
- 35:59It's a reward to go out not expected, you know.
- 36:02Yeah. No, it is.
- 36:03You got to and and Speaking of sourcing your food, it's funny.
- 36:05I was, I was hanging out with good buddy Scott Dothard over
- 36:07the weekend, fraternity brother, older than me, talking about the
- 36:09respect guys. You know, I mean, he's the same
- 36:11work. He's the guy.
- 36:13But we got to talking about like that that whole regenerative
- 36:16farming and the guys in the world like Rogan.
- 36:19Have y'all seen those guys as farmers out of Georgia?
- 36:22OK, so he spent some time with them over there because he's a
- 36:24farmer too. So now he's doing the same thing
- 36:27where he's bringing in, you know, he's planting certain
- 36:30plants in the field where he's growing strawberries and
- 36:32strawberries. Times are coming now.
- 36:33So he's got that out there. Then he'll put out I think
- 36:36goats, cows and goats and chickens or hogs and then
- 36:39chickens, you know, I mean kind of works some stuff down and
- 36:41finishes maybe with the chickens or the goats.
- 36:43Yeah, that's the goats and the chickens.
- 36:45And then he starts farming, you know, it's like, and he's re
- 36:47purpose or, you know, bringing that soul back to a level of
- 36:50where it should be. So you're not just beating that
- 36:52soul to death and and all these fertilizers, they're just
- 36:54ruining the soul because it turns your soul to sand.
- 36:57So you. Know it's dead zones in the
- 36:58Gulf, the whole thing. Yeah, all the all the runoff
- 37:01crap, Yeah. So really interesting, man.
- 37:03Like these people. But now, of course those guys,
- 37:05they're the kind of the, the feds are kind of going after
- 37:08them, you know, isn't that crazy?
- 37:10You know what I mean? Like this.
- 37:11So they have to watch the way they say it and how they word it
- 37:14and what they do, because suddenly that's bad, you know,
- 37:16so. That's incredible.
- 37:17But yeah, that's the way it's going to have to be.
- 37:19You have to look at the Dust Bowl, look at all the big
- 37:21catastrophes in the world that's happened because of not doing
- 37:24that. You know, they're doing it in
- 37:25other countries now. We have to figure out a way.
- 37:28That's awesome. Dothard.
- 37:29Yeah, Legend and he he had to be.
- 37:31I saw the picture and with our the brother Patton.
- 37:35Love him, Legend. And then my number one all time
- 37:38little buddy, best buddy Lee Hussey.
- 37:40That's my number one. Some of the people I look up to.
- 37:42Golly. 'S like yeah I got to go
- 37:44flounder giga with the boys man, that was so fun.
- 37:46That was. So man, yeah, everybody on the
- 37:48group text was like who is that? Is that dothard?
- 37:50I'm like of course it is. He looks thin and I thought he'd
- 37:52been working. All y'all sitting up in air
- 37:54conditioned dothards after getting after.
- 37:57That's it. I bet he's still got a heavy
- 38:00right hand too. We were talking about Bo.
- 38:02I bet the author still got a heavy right hand.
- 38:04Oh my gosh. Swing 22 ounce east wing build.
- 38:07Build the fence. I wouldn't.
- 38:10Want to? I wouldn't want it 6/4 and 1/2.
- 38:13Yeah, I'm good. I'm good.
- 38:15Place. He ran into somebody else too,
- 38:17didn't you over the weekend? Somebody from the Bubba Army.
- 38:21Absolutely. Man, I was hanging at a props
- 38:23brewery just stopped in there literally to watch the end of
- 38:25that Georgia Tech Florida State game, which was crazy.
- 38:28And so I watched the last two minutes and I'm standing out
- 38:31front. I was about to go, I had one
- 38:33beer was leaving. I just want to see the end of
- 38:34that. And this guy comes up to me and

- 38:45He said, I just came up here. I knew you were around here so I
- 38:47thought I'd run into you and I heard something about Big Russ

- 39:17Jay Rochelle, I'm looking at you.
- 39:19Our tailgate by the Indian Mounds, Cajun Tiger Tailgate.
- 39:23You cannot miss it. You can't miss it.
- 39:25We're the only milk truck bus. I call them milk trucks.
- 39:30It's like an old milk truck bus that we've put a roof on top of.
- 39:34It has a roof you can climb up the attic.
- 39:37We're the only truck with a roof view overlooking gorgeous and
- 39:42beautiful Death Valley, so come hang out.
- 39:45With us is a set up that is awesome because that's where I
- 39:48hung out when I was there. I was on top of that roof up
- 39:50there that was just let us know. Bubba Army is in the House.
- 39:54We'll announce it. Yeah, we're going to have some
- 39:57fun. Tiggy has some plans, boys.
- 40:02Some tailgate, some interviews from the tailgate plan.
- 40:05This year that I think. Is going to be a lot of fun
- 40:07thanks to having some good mics that we can have now to pop that
- 40:11we gave a good test run at at props.
- 40:15It's going to work fabulous for some for some hilarious content.
- 40:20I do believe this year. Oh, that's going to be awesome,
- 40:23dude. Yeah, that's going to be
- 40:24awesome, people. And you know, by the time like
- 40:273:00 in the afternoon on a game day of a 7:00 kick, your boy
- 40:33here is probably going to ask some interesting questions.
- 40:35Oh, I can't wait. I can't wait.
- 40:38You need to just let people interview you.
- 40:41Do what? You just need to let people
- 40:42interview you, ask you questions at that point.
- 40:44Those are out there. That footage does exist out in
- 40:47the world. They they come by.
- 40:50It's it's crazy, that spot. We always have whoever's doing
- 40:54the game, ESPNCBS, whatever. I guess it'll be ABC a lot now
- 41:01this year, but they're always come up there to get B roll
- 41:04footage and stuff for the game because it's happening.
- 41:08It's a happening spot. That whole area is happening.
- 41:11Do you still have that video footage of those guys that were
- 41:13doing that documentary on tailgating in the Southeastern
- 41:16Conference? And that little bit that you
- 41:18showed me was phenomenal. I have that interview.
- 41:21Yes, yes, I need to put that out.
- 41:23Somewhere that is. So good man, you were, yes.
- 41:26You were you were in a good spot, man.
- 41:27You were having a big time. I felt no pain I'm I and that as
- 41:33far I know it didn't because they did that.
- 41:36That documentary did come out finally.
- 41:39It was the SEC thing and I never saw myself in it.
- 41:43I never saw our. How did that not make the cut?
- 41:46Like, I just kind of blew my mind.
- 41:47Can you? I mean dude, I pretty special.
- 41:49I think on a scale of one to 100, if they interviewed 100
- 41:53people on that day, I was probably at about number like
- 41:5786, if we're going to be fair, maybe 87.
- 42:00Blasey, I think Speaking of 87, you sent us a picture today of a
- 42:07young Blossy, the one man posse. I mean mugging a camera, didn't
- 42:12you? I did man, that was crazy.
- 42:14My my buddy Marty Campbell sent me on a link and he said check
- 42:18out this YouTube page I found. He said it was a pep rally from
- 42:211987 at high school. And he said you he said there's
- 42:26an image. He said go to the 1430 mark.
- 42:28I'm like, how did he dissect this thing down?
- 42:30First of all, I wouldn't even recognize myself.
- 42:32He said the 1430 mark of this of this YouTube clip, he said it's
- 42:35you and Alex Davis. We sitting next to each other.
- 42:39He said it's a real good image of you.
- 42:41And that's that's the part that I was able to show because
- 42:43there's a couple other times you keep watching or it just comes
- 42:45in there. It was, man, you know, camera
- 42:47scans right on me. I kind of look over at the
- 42:49camera like what's up? You know, I thought I think I
- 42:51had some sort of a shoulder pad action going on.
- 42:53Like I kind of tried to zoom in on that.
- 42:55I mean, this is 87, you know, they wore pads, pads back then.
- 42:59That was a little bit built up there.
- 43:01I think, you know, so I forgot it.
- 43:04So cool. So, but yeah, I appreciate that,
- 43:06Marty. So we were talking about
- 43:08wrestling earlier and, and, and one of my favorites growing up,
- 43:12just because of the look and the attitude and the whole deal was
- 43:16Sid, Sid UD, if you want to call him Psycho Sid, Sid Vicious, Sid
- 43:21Justice. He went by many names.
- 43:27I think he was the the no that was, was the punisher, the
- 43:31master of pain. I mean, you know, early on, but
- 43:33Sid was huge, a tall blonde guy from West Memphis, AR.
- 43:39I mean, he he had the title. He he beat Hogan in the ring for
- 43:42the title. He was huge.
- 43:45Fun facts about him, though. One was that the reason his run
- 43:49wasn't more than you think it is because he this is from what
- 43:52I've heard now smart Mark's going to beat me up for this.
- 43:54But the long and short of it was he loved playing softball.
- 43:58So his men's league, softball, all his like softball stuff took
- 44:01precedent over over wrestling stuff.
- 44:05And he broke his leg. He had an infamous thing where
- 44:07he jumped off the top rope and came down and broke his leg in
- 44:09half, like in the ring. Oh my God, that set him back big
- 44:11time. I remember.
- 44:12That Yes, yes, yes. Yes, and and one of the one of
- 44:15the and he was a part of one of the most infamous segments of
- 44:19vignettes ever done in any wrestling organization of all
- 44:23time was the introduction of the Shock Master.
- 44:27Shock Master was coming in to help staying and against Sid and
- 44:31some other bad guys and the Shock Master comes through,
- 44:34breaks through. It's a guy in his big silver
- 44:37like Star Wars looking helm and he breaks through and it's
- 44:42actually Tugboat or gosh, I can't remember his name, but it
- 44:46was actually a wrestler everybody knew.
- 44:47But he comes through in his hat and it was Ollie Anderson
- 44:52talking like so it wasn't the guy in the mass talk.
- 44:55It was like up here. It's it's Oli who was
- 44:58ridiculous, but the guy comes through and they they didn't
- 45:00practice. So he's busting through like
- 45:02this sheetrock. Y'all have to watch his videos,
- 45:04but it's infamous is the most botched gimmicks of all time.
- 45:07This guy. It was his introduction to WCW.
- 45:09This happens. He wrestles one more time and
- 45:11disappears because it was too pathetic to go.
- 45:15He goes through. He got so blazing.
- 45:17He goes through. He they say, I tell you who's
- 45:19going to be our third partner. This is thing I tell you, our
- 45:22third partner's going to be there's none other then the
- 45:24shock master and boom, he breaks through the drywall.
- 45:29But they had a they had a cross bar of a 2 by 4 at the bottom
- 45:32that they didn't remove as a brace.
- 45:33So he trips on it falls, his helmet comes off, he's
- 45:37scrambling to get it up. He digs his it's it's like he's
- 45:40coming around the truck and he catches his shin on the on the
- 45:43on the hitch that that was it. So he comes through the gate raw
- 45:47and falls and and most everybody's just trying not to
- 45:49laugh on stage and Sid and being a pro held to it.
- 45:53He's just still fuming and who I want to get you, I don't care,
- 45:57blah, blah, blah. He sticks with the gimmick.
- 45:58He doesn't laugh. But in the back you say, I think
- 46:00it's like Booker T or somebody. And he's I mean, they're wanting
- 46:03to break like on Saturday Night Live when they want to break,
- 46:05you know, But it was so bad. It was so bad.
- 46:09No, I remember it because I thought I thought that that I
- 46:13was. I remember watching and being
- 46:15like, that is the dumbest thing. What do they think they're
- 46:18doing? Like they, they, I thought they
- 46:20did it on purpose, like to sabotage him because he wasn't
- 46:24there after that, like I. Just thought that was his
- 46:27introduction. The way they were exiting him.
- 46:30They were going to bring him in as a big a big like a a big.
- 46:34Player like they did with the Rock this year, but right, but
- 46:37he was his at that time. He was maybe not as big as the
- 46:41Rock, but in terms of the size then I mean he was, he was, he
- 46:47was big. Oh yeah, this this was breaking
- 46:50in the mainstage going against Cid, who's fighting against the
- 46:52champion Sting. I mean, it's flares in the
- 46:55background. I mean, it, it's the it's the
- 46:57Creme de la Creme from that territory at the time.
- 46:59And he just botched the entrance.
- 47:01But Cid held to it, didn't laugh.
- 47:03Yeah, this glitter thing and then only talking.
- 47:05So the guy was never going to talk.
- 47:06It was just a terrible idea by some old guys who didn't, didn't
- 47:10know what was up at the territory, you know, at the.
- 47:13Time well before Eric and not. Not that I mean that you just
- 47:18have to change some things up. You have to, you know, evolve.
- 47:21And I think like them, that was just terrible idea who and who
- 47:24and they must not have any oversight if they went ahead
- 47:27with it and actually did it after they talked about it for
- 47:29months and then still thought it was a good idea.
- 47:32Yeah, to me, that's about as bad as gold dust.
- 47:35I just said, Oh yeah, I never, I never got the gold dust thing.
- 47:38Either I mean I. I was a gold dust fan to like
- 47:41it. I loved it but.
- 47:42You loved it. See?
- 47:43I mean, you either loved it or you did.
- 47:45I didn't. I didn't hate it.
- 47:46I'm just like, ridiculous. I just thought we could do
- 47:48something else with him than that, but whatever.
- 47:52They took it. They took it down some weird
- 47:53roads. That was a weird time in
- 47:55wrestling, though, that was. A It was a weird time.
- 47:58Valveen they dialed it back down after it got too stupid.
- 48:01Then they dialed it back down to kids.
- 48:02Now you know it, but it dialed up for a minute though it was T
- 48:05and AI mean you know. Oh yes, it promotion.
- 48:08It was dumb. They were they ridiculous.
- 48:10They've, I think what they figured out is they know that
- 48:12they you have to crank that dial just about in February, yeah,
- 48:18just to get you to WrestleMania and build it just like they did
- 48:23in like this summer. It kind of went back down.
- 48:26Now Summer Slam comes, the storylines are picking up and
- 48:30now they're starting to kind of take off, but you know, they're
- 48:33really going to double down after Christmas.
- 48:35Right. So yeah.
- 48:37It's but they'll it's so fun. But they can't.
- 48:39I mean, just because the the world we live in now, they can't
- 48:42do the stuff they did for that one.
- 48:43No, they can't. Run time.
- 48:45They didn't do it before that, you know, it was more.
- 48:47Literal TNA matches before that, the match was called Yeah, Stacy
- 48:52Keibler and. Oh yeah.
- 48:55Trish Stratus and it. Was crazy, crazy people get
- 48:59killed and stuff. They don't do that anymore, you
- 49:01know? No.
- 49:03Well, anyhow, we we ended up talking a little bit of
- 49:06wrestling here at the end of this.
- 49:07I know well RIP Sid, you know he was a great one.
- 49:11Go watch some Sid matches and also lost this past week.
- 49:16A A a legend that I've heard records.
- 49:18Everybody's heard the record whether you know you did or not
- 49:21because he had 20 or 30 of them. They were all jazz, modern jazz
- 49:25standards. David Sanborn passed last week.
- 49:27Jazz legend. If you want to hear some smooth
- 49:29music, go download you some David Sanborn this afternoon.
- 49:32You go get that off, Start with that song The Dream and and go
- 49:35that way. That's 1987.
- 49:37That's the background everywhere.
- 49:38Everybody was walking around in 19, every movie background.
- 49:41That was that progressive jazz fusion type thing.
- 49:44Yeah, good stuff. But he passed.
- 49:46He had a battle with cancer. He was still in the road when he
- 49:48when he passed. Man, it was still rocking and
- 49:52rolling. I I'll tell you what, Jr., you
- 49:54put you put us on that, put us on some Chuck Berry.
- 49:59That album, man, I I can't get, I can't quit listening to it.
- 50:04I've never heard it. I had no idea that dude did that
- 50:07with a guitar. I knew that he was always, you
- 50:09know, considered one of the best and all that, but that's the
- 50:12most I never, I never heard him in what I would call a modern
- 50:16sound. Right.
- 50:18Yeah, that was modern, yeah. That was cool, though.
- 50:20That was super cool. We sit there in Boog's garage
- 50:22and that's the first thing Boog went to.
- 50:23You know, DJ Boog had to go diving on that one.
- 50:26He was like, man, I never heard this.
- 50:28He hadn't heard it either. Nope, he had not.
- 50:30Well, it's kind of unusual for, you know, It's a good find
- 50:33there, buddy. I'll let y'all simmer on that
- 50:35for a few more weeks and I'll drop another one.
- 50:37I got a stack of it that are that that's but it blows my mind
- 50:41that people don't know, you know, and some of these people
- 50:43it's like how did this not how it's so good?
- 50:46How does everybody not know about this?
- 50:48I know, man, I know. But anyway, glad y'all.
- 50:50I'm glad y'all enjoyed it. And hey, like how about, how
- 50:53about the poem when it gets to where he just reads that poem
- 50:55about his house? Oh man, how cool is that?
- 50:58You know Chuck Berry did all that.
- 51:00Had no idea, no, no idea whatsoever that he did that.
- 51:04Y'all go listen to Chuck Berry San Francisco dudes.
- 51:06Download the whole record. Start from the beginning.
- 51:08Y'all thank me later. Yep, 1,000,000%.
- 51:12I've listened to it probably 15 times since we did that show.
- 51:16Literally. Seriously, I listen to it three
- 51:18times at night. I couldn't get enough of it.
- 51:20It's that good. It is good.
- 51:23All right, boys. Well, let's hop out of here and
- 51:27we'll see everybody next week.
