• 1:08Speaker 01

  Check, check.

• 1:11Speaker 01

  You on the readers? Damn, bro, you saw him, huh? Dude, me too. Are you on them? I'm, I have no other choice. Well, what does it look like? It don't look like nothing's happening.

• 1:24Speaker 01

  It don't look like if I don't have them, I can't pick out which draft beer I want.

• 1:31Speaker 01

  I'm like the Hells Bells, uh, what is that? Oh, when you throw an IPA, you're lost. Yeah, I, yeah, I'll be like, I'll be in order to want a Pilsner and then got an IPA. Oh damn dude. Well, they started, remember when they came out with all those, like the local IP? It was always like Beaver's ass or whatever. Like it was like, it was always like Vermont, um, stepdad. Like it was always some. Citra ass down. White men can't hops. Um, fetal alcohol sour. Uh. Man, my first thing, you know, I've never done high gravities. What do you mean like, uh? Like a. Fat carnival rides or whatever? A high gravity beer. Oh, I never even heard of that.

• 2:16Speaker 01

  What is it? They make it in a French press or whatever? Well, it's like a, you know, it's a beer that is like a 12, it's 12% alcohol. Oh, that takes away the whole point of having beer. Well, yeah, well, the first time I did it, we did a, it was a beer called Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. And it was like a 12 point beer. And it had bourbon flavors, man. We did a, we were doing keg stands with it. And that was a beer you came out with? No, it was a beer that it just got popular. And it got popular and I called where to get a keg of it and got one at the house. Well, dude, I called a bunch of my buddies and I'm like, hey, man. The Bourbon Barrel, Kentucky Bourbon Barrel kegs here.

• 3:00Speaker 01

  So about six buddies, my wife goes to dinner with some friends. Oh, yeah. She comes back. She shouldn't have come back. Man. What were y'all doing? We were, we were just, we were gone. What were y'all doing? Just tickling each other and shit? Man, we were, it got, got, it got interesting. But just Kentucky Bourbon Barrel, do not do keg stands with a 12 point. I could never hold natural light down in college. Yeah. Well, dude, you know, Bob, Bob, Kid Rock came out with a beer for a while called Badass Beer, right? This is a story, he told me this and I'm paraphrasing, but it doesn't matter because it doesn't end well. But, uh, or maybe it does matter, whatever.

• 3:45Speaker 01

  There it is, badass American Lager. But apparently the second batch of it, and the first batch it like sold out, right? And the second batch they made of it, like it got, it was fucked up, right? Dude, I, I had a beer that did that. But they just put it out anyway. They're like, well, we already made so much of it. Just put it out there, dude. I did a beer that went sour. And it was like three in every case. So my buddies would be drinking it. They're like, man, this shit's awesome. And then they called me about three hours later. They're like, hey, man, some, something done went bad south. Then I had to call all the, anyway, it was a damn nightmare. I'm not putting anything else out anymore.

• 4:28Speaker 01

  I'm just going, damn, just, it's just too much. Yeah, dude. Oh yeah. When you get attached to some things, have you been attached to some wild stuff over the years probably? Attached to, what do you mean? Like wild products, kind of anything. Yeah, TikTok. Yeah, that's about the only thing I'm attached to. Are you addicted to that? I'd say it's closing in on that. Yeah. I saw your son on there the other night. I was, where was it? I saw your boy out there throwing bombs. Your boy's playing quarterback. It was, we, so it was past weekend, this past weekend. Oh, it was? Where was he playing at? Man, we went down to Fairhope, Alabama. But on the coast. It's right there by Mobile Bay. By Spanish Fort, yeah.

• 5:08Speaker 01

  And we, um, so our team last year, um, we had a really dominant team. So we, we beat a lot of kids or we beat a lot of teams by so much. And my son wasn't the quarterback last year. Really great quarterback last year that, that went on to play college. But we had a lot of local Nashville teams that just like, man, we're not gonna play y'all. It's just, you know, so we had to go find some games. Okay, y'all had to go out. So we, our coach found, talked to Philip Rivers and they scheduled the game. Well, they had originally scheduled on a Friday night.

• 5:45Speaker 01

  Well, then ESPN wanted to pick the game up because it was obviously a fun story with me and Philip Rivers kid. Oh, his son, his son was. His son's a great quarterback. Oh dang. And an already four star recruit going to NC State. Man, they moved that game from a Friday night to 12:30 noon in South Alabama. Buddy. I mean, I'm from, you're from down there. Dude, it was, it was bad. It was hot, man. We, I had to go, man, I had a dad call me. We went and borrowed like these coolers from another college.

• 6:25Speaker 01

  I had one of my guys that works at my farm haul these damn misting coolers down and try to keep these boys from. So man, I turned it, I had all kinds of stuff going on. Oh, y'all lucky y'all had that hot, you mean the high tech, the big blowers that are blowing? Yeah, that are blowing on the big old lineman. But man, you know, my son got through it and did really well. I mean, when you're, and when you, when you think about your kid starting his first football game and it's on ESPN, national TV. Oh, that's heavy. Dude, I was flipping, I was losing it. Bo Bryan, oh, you must've been geeked, dude. Oh dude, y'all are lucky, man. Y'all had that high flue, that fancy cool air. Yeah. Dude, we had, you'd be lucky. You know what I learned it did? What? Nothing. Really?

• 7:05Speaker 01

  When it's 107 heat index and you put hot tap water, it did nothing. Dude, I remember I played one year of football, dude, and it was too hot. I think the cleats I had were real thin or something. I remember the ground was too hot for me. I remember I'd run over, like if we had like a timeout, I'd have to run over and stand on like one of those defensive linemen's feet. I'd stand right on his feet, dude. Oh dude, the heat would just come right up through my shoes. I think they got me a bad pair of cleats, but I just couldn't. I played in South Georgia, I played my, man, I learned, man, we were playing this, I was in eighth grade. I was about 120 pounds. We're playing this team, Sly County. Hmm, where is that?

• 7:49Speaker 01

  Man, it was up above Americas, Georgia. They must be damn slithering, uh, they sound like they're on the song. Let me tell you something. Sly County. This big old black quarterback come around the corner and I put my head on his thigh bone. And the only thing I remember when I come to was the bottom of his feet running into the end zone and him handing the ball to the ref. I heard the bell go off. Dude, you heard a little bit of free gospel, huh? That's that free gospel, bro. You got served up. Man, I got, yeah. Dude, our field had damn lice or something in it. And, uh, oh, they had chickers in our field, right? And so I remember for a whole season, nothing you could do about it, dude. So you. We had a field that had staph all over. Oh God.

• 8:33Speaker 01

  So you get a strawberry and then next thing you know, you're, what's it called, Menza? Oh yeah, bro. We'd have, we'd have, you'd have to wheelbarrow some of the players out there. Cause they, they, their joints couldn't handle running out there and playing defense on the play, dude. Some of that shit was bad, dude. We were itching so bad. God, we'd have to itch each other. That was the craziest part in the huddle. We wouldn't break the huddle or probably sometimes it'd be, the play would already have started, dude. We have our hands each, up, up each other's backs and stuff in there. I bet if he was a pedophile, you stayed, you stayed for the whole game just to watch all that. It was different, man. Is your, uh, well, how'd your son do? You say he had three touchdowns?

• 9:13Speaker 01

  Three touchdowns and, uh, man, and, and we got, we got a real, he's got a great team around him. Got really great receivers. And is it a Christian school he goes to? No, it's a, it's, it's a, you know, just a school down in Franklin called Battleground Academy. Got it. And, uh, man, he, he's really went about it the right way. You know, he's a senior this year and he, he had to wait his turn behind a really good player. And then like I said, he's got, he's got some really good players on that. He's got some dogs down there. Yeah, Maximus Curry and Maddox Porter are really, really great. And then. Maximus and Maddox, bro. And Maximus's dad was Mr. Olympia. No way. Dude, you gotta see this guy. Dude, Brandon Curry, look at this guy. Bring him up.

• 9:57Speaker 01

  God. Boom. Oh my God, brother. I wouldn't make it through half a hug from that man.

• 10:06Speaker 01

  I think I kissed him about five times that game. Cause his son had about a. Dude, with beef prices where they're at, that dude's gonna have, they might, bro. You got, somebody better keep eyes on him. Yeah, he's more than Bitcoin.

• 10:21Speaker 02

  I can't even imagine that. I couldn't imagine having a muscle like that. God.

• 10:29Speaker 01

  Oh, Brandon's gonna kill me.

• 10:30Speaker 02

  Dude, I would not even leave the house if I had muscles like that. I'd just stay at home and be with my body.

• 10:36Speaker 01

  I just hope Brandon doesn't headlock me for exposing him on your show.

• 10:41Speaker 02

  Look, it's not like you exposed him bad, bro.

• 10:45Speaker 01

  He's laying it out there.

• 10:47Speaker 02

  I mean, he's definitely, he's using that spray tanner for sure. I know that. But I will say this.

• 10:52Speaker 01

  Nah, he's that color.

• 10:53Speaker 02

  Oh, he is?

• 10:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, he's even, he may, he may be a little lighter there.

• 10:57Speaker 02

  I can't see that guy. I gotta get my readers on, dude. I can't even, yeah. You can't tell these days, some of these guys, if they, they start doing that chocolate body and you know where they tan their whole body.

• 11:07Speaker 01

  I would say that'd be more of the Irishman out there doing that, like a, like a ginger.

• 11:12Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's probably fair.

• 11:13Speaker 01

  See if there's any ginger bodybuilders.

• 11:16Speaker 02

  Oh, God. Yeah, that's gonna be interesting. But yeah, Brandon Curry there, God.

• 11:23Speaker 01

  Leprechaun bodybuilding.

• 11:25Speaker 02

  I would just, if I saw that man, I would just sit on his lap and tell him what I wanted for Christmas, I feel like. Oh, this dude is from, uh, I mean, this guy's from Game of Thrones, obviously.

• 11:37Speaker 01

  Oh, my God, that's wrong.

• 11:39Speaker 02

  Oh, that's nice, though. And a lot of ginger women are built like that, too, when they get in their 40s, I find.

• 11:47Speaker 02

  If they do that, uh.

• 11:48Speaker 01

  Theo, you're trapping me. Theo, the Theo trap.

• 11:51Speaker 02

  I'm not saying anything, dude. I'm just saying a lot of ging-

• 11:55Speaker 01

  Oh, hey, that, that's who you're referring to.

• 11:59Speaker 02

  Whoa, God.

• 12:02Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 12:03Speaker 02

  God dang, boy, she could open my pants with it just, she could just sneeze and my pants are damn open up, but without even, I wouldn't have a choice at it. Good God.

• 12:13Speaker 01

  Yeah, I'm, I'm questioning the women, the womanhood of that one.

• 12:16Speaker 02

  Right, well, they, yeah, I mean, they got it, yeah. I would test some of them. I would test some of them. That's how I bet a lot of times when I play that WNBA, you know, I'll bet.

• 12:28Speaker 01

  How about the dude that's, that's-

• 12:30Speaker 02

  Oh, that guy who wants to be in it or whatever? That seems so weird to me. You think he's just doing something weird?

• 12:36Speaker 01

  He's gotta be just doing it.

• 12:37Speaker 02

  Trolling.

• 12:38Speaker 01

  Trolling.

• 12:38Speaker 02

  Yeah, cuz dude, I don't bet a lot, but when I bet, a lot of times I'll take a, uh, uh, uh, someone who is an out, a lesbian woman. I take the toughest lesbian on the team and I do at least three rebounds. That's what I bet.

• 12:52Speaker 01

  What is your percentage on that? Hundred?

• 12:55Speaker 02

  No, probably fifty-eight, sixty. But we're doing good, cuz some of them I think are on the fence and they're kinda lying about it just to fit in in the league. That's what I think.

• 13:05Speaker 01

  What would you slap down on the old, old guy that's claiming to be a woman? So that's, that's probably a safe bet.

• 13:12Speaker 02

  Oh, I think, if he says he is, I wanna see that gender reveal. That's what I wanna see, you know? Get his parents there, get everybody in the backyard and have him break that thing out, you know?

• 13:22Speaker 01

  And he's trolling them, though. God, he's trolling them.

• 13:25Speaker 02

  But I wonder, I wonder why he's, it just seems like, what's going on with them four-

• 13:29Speaker 01

  Well, he's doing it just to prove the point.

• 13:32Speaker 02

  Former NBA player, oh, of how ridiculous it is?

• 13:34Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 13:35Speaker 02

  Yeah. Former NBA player Inez Kanter Freedom declared themselves eligible-

• 13:39Speaker 01

  Did he change his name to Freedom? Oh, there's another one, Royce White.

• 13:44Speaker 02

  Royce White declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft in August 2026 to protest league policies on transgender athletes. Those sources say they are not eligible. So what, oh, they were saying if they go through with these new rules, then they're gonna have to allow guys like them in?

• 14:00Speaker 01

  Well, what they're saying is, right now, the rule is what, now, listen, let's just claim that I'm, the fact that you and I are claiming to be, you know, we're learning as we go here, but I think they're just saying if you identify as a woman, you can play in the WNBA.

• 14:15Speaker 02

  I see.

• 14:15Speaker 01

  And he's just saying I identify as a woman, so.

• 14:18Speaker 02

  Dang. Well.

• 14:20Speaker 01

  We'll see.

• 14:21Speaker 02

  TBD, boy. But they should do that gender reveal right before the draft if he is, bro. That's all I'm saying. Yeah.

• 14:29Speaker 01

  Just a pants, just old school, high school locker room pants style.

• 14:34Speaker 02

  He's a huge guy, boy.

• 14:36Speaker 01

  You probably can't even pants him. Get hung up.

• 14:39Speaker 02

  He's a huge guy.

• 14:40Speaker 01

  You get caught on something.

• 14:41Speaker 02

  Shit, dude, I bet his weener's got knuckles on it. You know what I'm saying? I bet he's got-

• 14:46Speaker 01

  Got an elbow in it.

• 14:47Speaker 02

  Oh dang, I bet, dude. I bet it's-

• 14:50Speaker 01

  And a periscope.

• 14:51Speaker 02

  I bet it's wearing a damn whoop bracelet, you know what I'm saying? I bet he's like-

• 14:55Speaker 01

  Fit bit.

• 14:56Speaker 02

  Yeah, dude, that's when, yeah.

• 15:00Speaker 01

  That's when you know.

• 15:01Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's when you know, brother. That ain't for me, man. Dude, do you, what are we talking about? Luke Bryan, good to see you, dude.

• 15:09Speaker 01

  Man, yeah, I can't wait to see the clips. Yeah, we're only five minutes in.

• 15:16Speaker 02

  Do you think your son could, uh, beat, uh, Lane Kiffin's son? You think he could beat Knox, Knox Kiffin if they went-

• 15:21Speaker 01

  No, I don't know. I mean, that, that, when you're talking about boys like Knox and my son, th- these boys are working so hard and so tuned up. It's really about the team, really. I mean, and I, I don't know, I don't know anything about Knox. Uh, Bo and Knox met at an, at a Nike camp in Louisiana. And talk about a damn deal.

• 15:43Speaker 02

  Was that, you went to it?

• 15:45Speaker 01

  Man, I went there and it was really,

• 15:51Speaker 01

  it was, I didn't wanna put my son in camps before he was ready.

• 15:55Speaker 02

  Okay, why?

• 15:56Speaker 01

  Well, because then, then he's got some embarrassment. He may get out there and not feel like he can compete, so.

• 16:03Speaker 02

  Right, so it might be too much for him, like if he sees like some, oh, people are so good, if he's younger.

• 16:07Speaker 01

  Well, I just tried to manage it. And then this year, this past spring, we did a couple of them. And man, let me tell you something.

• 16:16Speaker 01

  We went to Atlanta and, and he threw well in Atlanta, but we went down to Louisiana, man. And when you see them boys getting after it in Louisiana, it's a different deal.

• 16:25Speaker 02

  Was it?

• 16:26Speaker 01

  Well, so.

• 16:27Speaker 02

  Was it that Manning camp?

• 16:29Speaker 01

  No, it was, it was a Nike, it was like a Nike Elite 11 camp hosted. So Nike Elite 11 hosts camps in different regions of the coun- of the country.

• 16:39Speaker 02

  All right.

• 16:40Speaker 01

  And so they host one in different areas and then they compile the, the top performers for a big camp. But what's, so think about this. I don't know all this. Like, I'm learning this as I go. I mean, they ain't, I mean.

• 16:52Speaker 02

  Yeah, you didn't, yeah.

• 16:53Speaker 01

  I didn't.

• 16:53Speaker 02

  You weren't that good.

• 16:55Speaker 01

  Exactly.

• 16:55Speaker 02

  And no judgment, but yeah, you didn't have this opportunity. And it probably didn't exist then.

• 17:00Speaker 01

  It didn't, but you know, it's not, I hadn't really had time to meet other dads for them to walk me through it.

• 17:06Speaker 02

  Got it.

• 17:06Speaker 01

  So he gets to-

• 17:07Speaker 02

  So you're brand new, so you're brand new?

• 17:08Speaker 01

  I'm brand new, learning.

• 17:09Speaker 02

  And he's brand new to it?

• 17:10Speaker 01

  He is, but he knows, he's brand new to camps and he's wanting to see how he's going to compete with the other boys. He did good in Atlanta, top talent in the world. We go to New Orleans and there's like a hundred and fifty quarterbacks day one. Well, Knox Lane, uh, Knox Kiffin's there. And day one, we can tell that Bo is throwing it. You know, you gotta understand, he doesn't have any stars at the time. That's the big thing, too. Are you a three star, four star, five star? There were a lot of four and five stars there. And he was throwing alongside of them. Well, I don't even know, this was a Saturday.

• 17:50Speaker 02

  Right.

• 17:50Speaker 01

  So we already had planned to fly, go home Saturday night. Well, he comes up to me, Dad, they want me to come back and throw for the DBs and the receivers tomorrow morning. Buddy, first of all, I didn't even plan, next thing you know, we're eating crawfish and I'm out on Bill, on Bourbon Street. Hey.

• 18:15Speaker 02

  That's right where you need to be, brother.

• 18:16Speaker 01

  Right, dude, we went to a dang, we, we tore up Bourbon Street. It was funny. I had no tour managers with me.

• 18:24Speaker 02

  Nuh-uh.

• 18:24Speaker 01

  It was just me and a buddy.

• 18:26Speaker 02

  And did Bo go? But you know, he couldn't go.

• 18:28Speaker 01

  They let him in a piano bar briefly.

• 18:31Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 18:32Speaker 01

  But, uh, nah, we, we, we went on to bed early, but we, we had a big time on-

• 18:36Speaker 02

  Y'all didn't damn go on to bed early. What are you talking about?

• 18:38Speaker 01

  We'll see, but we, uh, but anyway, the next morning, he is-

• 18:43Speaker 02

  So he's a tougher competition that next day?

• 18:45Speaker 01

  Well, he's throwing to the receiver, to the DBs and the receivers.

• 18:49Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 18:50Speaker 01

  You know, they needed quarterbacks to showcase the receivers. And man, I was so amped up watching them boys compete. And you know, you're, you're in the room and all of them are probably gonna go off and play college ball, but they're getting evaluated. There's cameras on them and, you know, they're putting their life, I mean, this is their-

• 19:07Speaker 02

  That's their thing.

• 19:07Speaker 01

  They're putting it all out there and so.

• 19:09Speaker 02

  It's so severe now, you know? I mean, they start, you know, you'll see videos of seven year olds. They got seven year old kids that are mic'd up.

• 19:17Speaker 01

  Mic'd up?

• 19:17Speaker 02

  Yeah, and some kid, he's like-

• 19:18Speaker 01

  With an Instagram, yeah, Instagram.

• 19:20Speaker 02

  And all he's doing is he's like, he keeps being like, Mom, I gotta go to the toilet or whatever. It's like some of these kids, it's like, go have a damn two year old out there.

• 19:26Speaker 01

  Mic'd up on the toilet?

• 19:27Speaker 02

  Oh, no, just mic'd up, like he, he just keeps trying to leave the game and go to the restroom, whatever, that one kid they keep miking up? But it's like, yeah, they have some of them, it's just like, they're miking them up so early, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's just gotten lower and lower, you know? These kids are starting them off so early.

• 19:40Speaker 01

  Well, I, I think it's psycho. Oh, this him?

• 19:43Speaker 02

  No, I don't know. He, this might be him. Is this him?

• 19:46Speaker 01

  This is just one of them.

• 19:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, if one of them's mic'd up toilet kid or whatever.

• 19:51Speaker 03

  I got a mic. I got a mic in my bag, bro.

• 19:55Speaker 02

  I mean, what are we doing?

• 19:57Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 19:58Speaker 02

  Devine, boy.

• 19:59Speaker 03

  I'm getting mic'd up. I'm getting mic'd up.

• 20:02Speaker 02

  What are we doing?

• 20:03Speaker 03

  I'm getting posted on YouTube.

• 20:07Speaker 01

  Oh my God, I'm sure. It's still covering.

• 20:11Speaker 02

  Bro.

• 20:14Speaker 02

  That's Diego Pavi, I think.

• 20:17Speaker 01

  Full grown?

• 20:19Speaker 02

  Full grown.

• 20:21Speaker 01

  That's wrong. You know him. He's gonna attack me.

• 20:23Speaker 02

  No, he'll be fine, man. We're joking. That's my guy. But, uh, dude, well, the crazy thing is though, with your son going down there and playing against those guys that are the, you know, four stars, five stars, playing against guys who are, we're gonna play.

• 20:34Speaker 01

  When he's throwing with four or five stars and he's throwing with them, making the throws.

• 20:39Speaker 02

  Right.

• 20:39Speaker 01

  It told him in his brain, all right, well, I deserve to be here.

• 20:42Speaker 02

  Right.

• 20:42Speaker 01

  It was a great moment for him, rather than going in there prematurely and not getting called to come back. And then, so he left that camp. I think he got ready to three star.

• 20:52Speaker 02

  With some confidence.

• 20:53Speaker 01

  Recruit and started getting some, uh, some college offers and stuff like that.

• 20:56Speaker 02

  Well, yeah, because you play in some of these like, some of these Christian leagues and stuff like that, these smaller communities, dude, it's, I'm just saying the Lord don't have the best defensive backs. That's all I'm saying, dude. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, sometimes you'll get players that come out of these places and it's like the guy ran for 70,000 yards or whatever.

• 21:14Speaker 01

  What was he running against?

• 21:15Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 21:15Speaker 01

  You know, and a lot of people, I think even as Bo did well, there's still, there's a lot of eyeballs trying to discredit what he did or whatever. But, you know, he's got a whole season to put his body of work together and, you know, you can't, you can't judge any dang kid on one day. And you can't judge mine and you can't, so, so, and, you know, Philip Rivers' son unfortunately got hurt. And, you know, got hurt and, and so the game would have been a lot tougher game had, uh, his son.

• 21:43Speaker 02

  Stayed in it.

• 21:43Speaker 01

  Stayed in it. But it was a, it was, it was a big old moment. I was happy, you know, you know, the deal, man. I've, I've, I've just had an amazing life and like 95% of my joy comes from watching your kids and all them have fun now, you know? So, you know, we spoke on kid, you don't, you, you hunting, you hunting somebody to bear some children with, where, where are you at in that quest?

• 22:06Speaker 02

  Yeah, man. I'm out there. I'd like to have some children. Uh, yeah. I mean, I gotta do it.

• 22:11Speaker 01

  Same.

• 22:12Speaker 02

  Yeah. And with a woman, you know?

• 22:15Speaker 01

  That helps.

• 22:16Speaker 02

  So, and you can't just, yeah, you gotta, you gotta figure it out, but I'm, yeah, I'm headed in that direction. I'm working towards, I'm starting to like, see if my actions will kind of like, you know?

• 22:26Speaker 01

  Do you, are you just straight up asking first question? Do you want kids? Is that, is that how you leaning in or?

• 22:33Speaker 02

  No, no.

• 22:34Speaker 01

  Still a little more?

• 22:35Speaker 02

  I'll draw a picture of a kid off of, you know?

• 22:37Speaker 01

  How about this?

• 22:38Speaker 02

  Slide it over. Yeah. What do you think about that? Yeah.

• 22:45Speaker 02

  I'm not a good artist. She'd be like, I said, that was an ugly kid. I say, look.

• 22:49Speaker 01

  Yeah. She'll be like, you think I'm that ugly?

• 22:52Speaker 02

  We ain't making that. Yeah, dude, but it'll happen, man. I start feeling, the more I start to like, just take care of myself and live in a good way. Uh, you start to feel like anything's possible, man. You know, but yeah, I would like to have some children, bro. I think like, mm. Yeah. I wanna be married. I just wanna be married all week, you know? That's how I feel about it sometimes. But it'll come around, dude.

• 23:17Speaker 01

  You just set that up in the, in the early, just state that in the early stages of.

• 23:21Speaker 02

  Just so people know what's up.

• 23:23Speaker 01

  Yeah. I mean, it's all can be, anything can be prenupped.

• 23:25Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:26Speaker 01

  Just prenupped weekly.

• 23:28Speaker 02

  Right.

• 23:29Speaker 01

  Just Sunday evening.

• 23:31Speaker 02

  But sign again.

• 23:31Speaker 01

  Sign them.

• 23:32Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:32Speaker 01

  Sign the week contract.

• 23:34Speaker 02

  It's like a 10 day deal, like in the, like in the NBA, you're getting a 10 day contract. That's not a bad idea. Home of the 10 day marriage, right here, Nashville, Tennessee, dude.

• 23:44Speaker 01

  TLC, coming to your TLC network, the 10 day marriage.

• 23:48Speaker 02

  40 minute marriage, dude. That's what they need now.

• 23:51Speaker 01

  Like a mosquito.

• 23:54Speaker 01

  Like a prey, like what, they're like an insect that lives for like hatch's, hatch's screws and dies.

• 24:00Speaker 02

  Oh, that's a bee. If they sting you, they die.

• 24:03Speaker 01

  Yeah, but there's like a insect that lives like five hours.

• 24:08Speaker 02

  Probably my old landlord, that bastard. The mayfly, it says, is an insect that spends most of its life underwater before hatching into a winged adult, reproducing and dying within 24 to 48 hours, dude. That ain't bad, man.

• 24:22Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's.

• 24:23Speaker 02

  That ain't bad at all.

• 24:25Speaker 01

  Yeah. And then probably getting eaten by a fish as it dies.

• 24:29Speaker 02

  Hmm. That's a life though. That's a circle of life, dude.

• 24:33Speaker 01

  Hopefully the big trout gets you. There it is. We used to fish mayfly hatches on Lake Blackshire. There's a mayfly. Catching brim.

• 24:42Speaker 02

  Is that what y'all were catching?

• 24:43Speaker 01

  That's what we ate primarily.

• 24:45Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 24:45Speaker 01

  Wild brim.

• 24:47Speaker 02

  Nah-uh. That glyphosate brim or whatever?

• 24:53Speaker 02

  That six eyed brim?

• 24:55Speaker 01

  Oh, Lord.

• 24:57Speaker 02

  Dude, that shit's getting wild.

• 24:58Speaker 01

  There's my flies right there, baby Theo. That's you. That's what you're gonna graduate to right there. You start catching fish on one of them.

• 25:06Speaker 02

  You think so?

• 25:06Speaker 01

  That means you've been hanging out with me.

• 25:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:08Speaker 01

  I'll graduate you up to that.

• 25:10Speaker 02

  Will you? Well, you took me fishing over there one time, uh.

• 25:12Speaker 01

  So Theo was quick, you were the quick learner. You actually got complimented by my, by my fishing guy.

• 25:18Speaker 02

  Did I? Kate, Kate, what was his name?

• 25:20Speaker 01

  Flint.

• 25:20Speaker 02

  Flint was his name.

• 25:21Speaker 01

  Said you got, uh, you got some skills, some natural talent.

• 25:25Speaker 02

  Did he really?

• 25:26Speaker 01

  Yeah, but once you get, it's all about layers. Now we gotta graduate you.

• 25:30Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:30Speaker 01

  You're in kindergarten.

• 25:32Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 25:32Speaker 01

  And then when you start catching, uh, stuff on a fly rod, then you'll be easing into ninth grade.

• 25:39Speaker 02

  Ooh. Where's that at? Where, where, where's the best place that you finally go fly, fly rod fishing?

• 25:45Speaker 01

  Probably out west.

• 25:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:48Speaker 01

  Go out west, put you in the South Fork of Snake River.

• 25:52Speaker 02

  Put me in that bitch.

• 25:53Speaker 01

  Put you on a stone fly. Let you catch you a big old 21 inch cutthroat trout.

• 26:00Speaker 02

  God.

• 26:00Speaker 01

  On a riffle.

• 26:01Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 26:03Speaker 01

  How's that sound?

• 26:04Speaker 02

  It sound beautiful. What's a riffle? It's like a?

• 26:07Speaker 01

  It's where the water just riffles over the rocks.

• 26:09Speaker 02

  Really?

• 26:10Speaker 01

  Hmm. There it is. Cutthroat trout. That's in your future, Theo.

• 26:14Speaker 02

  Shit, I'll catch it.

• 26:15Speaker 01

  That's at, now see here, the only way you can do that trip is you gotta get married, you gotta have three kids. And then you got to tell that wife of three kids, you're going on a cutthroat trout trip so she can cuss your ass out. That's the only way you can do that trip.

• 26:29Speaker 02

  Dude, that bitch looks like my uncle right there, bro. Because his jaw don't work on the bottom.

• 26:34Speaker 01

  That's why it's called a cutthroat. See that red? It looks like somebody cut his throat.

• 26:39Speaker 02

  Probably his wife, bro, for, for being out there lying, bro.

• 26:43Speaker 01

  He went out mayfly hunting and got his throat cut.

• 26:45Speaker 02

  Dude, my uncle said he had to hold the bottom of his mouth closed all the time, dude. Bottom of his jaw didn't work. And so we'd always have to hold it like that.

• 26:55Speaker 01

  Uncle said.

• 26:56Speaker 02

  He was always like that. And then he'd crack it open and put something in there, shut it back.

• 27:01Speaker 01

  Never got around to fixing it.

• 27:03Speaker 02

  Huh?

• 27:03Speaker 01

  He never got around to fixing it?

• 27:05Speaker 02

  I don't think they could fix it, man. This wasn't the time when everything was fixable. Now you got people, everything shit's fixable or whatever. Everybody's got clean teeth or whatever.

• 27:13Speaker 01

  AI new jaw?

• 27:15Speaker 02

  Oh dude, yeah. Now you could just, yeah, 3D print a damn jaw. But back then, remember they had scoliosis, they had all that shit? Remember that at school?

• 27:23Speaker 01

  Oh, you had to bend over in front of somebody uncomfortable in a gown?

• 27:28Speaker 02

  Yeah, some lady, she'd just run a marker across your back, you know, that shit?

• 27:32Speaker 01

  Shit, get arrested for that shit, dude.

• 27:34Speaker 02

  I know, dude.

• 27:37Speaker 02

• 30:26Speaker 01

  Oh, and then did you eat the damn two, the popsicle sticks and lice? Did you ever get called in the hall with popsicle sticks?

• 30:34Speaker 02

  No, but I got called in the hall with lice.

• 30:38Speaker 02

  I'll tell you that shit dude, I had lice so bad one year, I couldn't even open my damn presents at Christmas. I was itching my head so bad. I had to open my gifts from my damn feet dude, I couldn't. God.

• 30:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, they'd pull us out, the principal would pull you out in the hall and go through your hair with popsicle sticks.

• 30:53Speaker 02

  Lice was one of the biggest problems in this country when we were kids. Oh, they did popsicle sticks for y'all?

• 31:00Speaker 01

  Yeah, popsicle sticks and then, uh, man, one of my kids got lice buddy. We, in Nashville, we got a lice clinic.

• 31:09Speaker 02

  Oh, really? That's nice.

• 31:11Speaker 01

  Like, I'm talking about you go in there, they serve you cucumber water. With lemon and, and, um.

• 31:17Speaker 02

  That might be where you're going. I don't know.

• 31:19Speaker 01

  Garnish.

• 31:20Speaker 02

  No, everybody ain't getting that shit.

• 31:22Speaker 01

  Like a mojito for a kid. I mean, I walk in, my kids heated, like, I'm out there with popsicle sticks and they washing my hair with something that, like.

• 31:33Speaker 02

  You were at a salon, huh?

• 31:35Speaker 01

  Yeah, well, I took mine. My kid kept scratching his head. I ain't ratting on which one it was, but it was one of the two.

• 31:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 31:43Speaker 01

  Man, I said, come here, boy, what's wrong with you?

• 31:47Speaker 01

  I thought it was gonna be like something I had to look for.

• 31:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 31:50Speaker 01

  No, I, he, he, man, I pulled some hair back, about three of them damn things went running. I said, oh shit, my wife's fixing to fumigate this whole house. They called me, they said, go down to the damn lice clinic.

• 32:07Speaker 01

  Man, we go down there.

• 32:09Speaker 02

  And does it have an outdoor area as well? Like, is there a little play area?

• 32:12Speaker 01

  No, man, I mean, it ain't, you know, I didn't never see the sauna, I didn't ever see the dry sauna or anything, you roll in there. And then they do all this stuff with like organics.

• 32:23Speaker 02

  Oh damn, we didn't have that shit, dude.

• 32:25Speaker 01

  That's what I'm saying, we had like lighter fluid.

• 32:27Speaker 02

  Oh yeah, our neighbor, I remember.

• 32:29Speaker 01

  Or they just shaved your damn head. I remember a couple of boys come to school, just ball headed.

• 32:35Speaker 02

  And still had lice. Dude, I remember they use, they would use a, uh, hair dryer, try to get them, just burn them out, you know, like this is like a damn.

• 32:45Speaker 01

  Napalm.

• 32:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, I remember they'd blow cigarette smoke in year, try to get them bitches out.

• 32:50Speaker 01

  Dude, he had to go like four times, man, they brushed his hair with these like little things and, but man, imagine, like, he's a boy, imagine being like the captain of the cheer, the middle school cheerleading team with, and all that hair.

• 33:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 33:06Speaker 01

  I mean, it's like a six hour hair brushing commitment.

• 33:08Speaker 02

  Well, do women get head lice, you think?

• 33:10Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 33:11Speaker 02

  Oh my God, I didn't know that. Bring that up. What percentage, is it more of a male ideal? Or is it, is it, is it more of a male pastime or is it female and male?

• 33:22Speaker 01

  Probably non discriminatory on the whole head lice.

• 33:25Speaker 02

  I don't, if I'm a little bug, I'm pulling up on a chick.

• 33:28Speaker 01

  I'm talking about.

• 33:30Speaker 02

  Cause otherwise, they're probably gay bugs, I'm guessing. Females actually get head lice more often than males, according to data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Or at least they're trying to prevent it. Hair length, longer hair gives lice a larger surface area to climb, hide and lay eggs. That's why you gotta get that buzz cut, ladies.

• 33:50Speaker 01

  Yep.

• 33:51Speaker 02

  Age matters, children between the ages of three and 11 get lice the most, regardless of gender. Cleanliness does not matter. Getting lice has nothing to do with having dirty or clean hair, dang.

• 34:03Speaker 01

  Just all about who you're hanging with.

• 34:06Speaker 02

  We got them, boy, we had them, dog. We loved them at some point. Cause we weren't allowed to get a pet or whatever. I remember getting them bitches, I'd be like, ah.

• 34:14Speaker 01

  Man, I, I was a kid and I stayed over a little boy's house one night in his trailer. And first of all, this is how terrible.

• 34:25Speaker 01

  Man, like, I have the worst allergy to cats. My parents never cared. Cats all in the house. I'm over there wheezing.

• 34:35Speaker 02

  Just your whole childhood?

• 34:36Speaker 01

  Did you ever have the kid in school that just always kept the green thing right there in their nose, just that green, that green snot?

• 34:44Speaker 02

  Well, one of my friends had tits kinda on him, one of my buddies, and I'd sleep at his house and I'd lay there and watch him, look at his body, or not look at his whole. I would just see his body. I wouldn't look at it. I'd look a little.

• 34:57Speaker 01

  We'd go to this damn, I went and stayed at this boy's house, man, single wide trailer, three, three cats. Man, I pulled, I pulled covers up, fleas, dog.

• 35:10Speaker 02

  No.

• 35:11Speaker 01

  I'm talking about fleas.

• 35:13Speaker 02

  Damn.

• 35:15Speaker 01

  And I'm wheezing, called my mama, didn't even come get me. She said, you gonna have to tough it out tonight.

• 35:24Speaker 02

  Dude, that crazy, man.

• 35:26Speaker 01

  I'd get back, I'm.

• 35:28Speaker 02

  Oh yeah. Well, people were bad off back then, asthma. Asthma was a big thing. I didn't believe in it, you know? And I still don't, to be honest with you, but people had that sometimes, you know, when people had to have asthma.

• 35:41Speaker 01

  I had, you know, I had it.

• 35:42Speaker 02

  People couldn't read that good?

• 35:44Speaker 01

  But I only had it when I got around cats, which was when they're living in your home. Yeah, just do the math on that.

• 35:52Speaker 02

  I can't believe your parents did it like that.

• 35:53Speaker 01

  My parents had a chinchilla Persian, the hairiest of cats.

• 35:58Speaker 02

  Damn, let me pull them up.

• 35:59Speaker 01

  A chinchilla Persian, and that son of a bitch would kick my door open to my bed and shit in the middle of my bed.

• 36:06Speaker 02

  Oh God.

• 36:07Speaker 01

  Look at that thing.

• 36:09Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 36:10Speaker 01

  That's a long way from a labradoodle.

• 36:12Speaker 02

  Oh dude, that little bitch.

• 36:14Speaker 01

  That is the other end of the periodic table.

• 36:16Speaker 02

  He a shit freak.

• 36:18Speaker 01

  Labradoodle is, yeah, that is, yeah, chinchilla, sterling.

• 36:24Speaker 02

  Oh wow.

• 36:24Speaker 01

  That was his name.

• 36:25Speaker 02

  And was he rich or whatever?

• 36:27Speaker 01

  He looked rich, especially in our house.

• 36:29Speaker 02

  Dude, I remember, first time I ever saw a dog inside of a house, man, I was probably 12 years old, I went to my buddy Scott's house. And they had a beautiful dog in there, golden retriever. And I, it looked like damn Suzanne Somers, I remember seeing it. It came around the corner and I was like.

• 36:46Speaker 01

  Christie Brinkley.

• 36:47Speaker 02

  Dude, I was like, who is that? Cause I'd just never seen a dog inside before. And that thing came around the corner, damn, beautiful brother. I just remember that and God, yeah, some people, I remember sleeping at some fellow's house and he had all the pets. He had all the pets in cages in his room and tons of them had escaped and shit and he cut the fan.

• 37:09Speaker 01

  Ferrets.

• 37:10Speaker 02

  Oh yeah, he had ferrets, he had the ones that pee on each other's backs or whatever, you know, like the twink's or whatever, those.

• 37:15Speaker 01

  Minks.

• 37:16Speaker 02

  Those, yeah, twink, ferret, whatever they are. I think they're, I think they were twink.

• 37:20Speaker 01

  Stink, and turtle, probably had turtles in there.

• 37:22Speaker 02

  Oh dude, anything that fucking stank, he had it in there, dude. And at night, he'd sleep fine, but if you stayed at his house.

• 37:29Speaker 01

  It was humid in there, probably.

• 37:30Speaker 02

  Bro, that.

• 37:31Speaker 01

  Like.

• 37:32Speaker 02

  Oh, the air just felt like it had been eating soup, dude. It was just fucking, it was just, but he cut that fan on, he had the most powerful ceiling fan I'd ever seen in my life. I think it was hooked up to their truck out front and he would cut that and it would and he would sleep, dude, and it would just whirl up all the smells. It was almost like God was just like, it was almost just like doing an all call for like another.

• 37:54Speaker 01

  Wet market.

• 37:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, just, oh dude, just, yeah.

• 37:58Speaker 01

  But that was alive.

• 37:59Speaker 02

  Oh, it smelled like a damn Vietnam breath man up in there, dude. It was, bro, every animal, and the animals, it kept them awake all night. So I couldn't sleep, I was so scared of all these snakes and muskrats and damn, uh, demons and fucking just violent emojis and all the shit he had in cages. And I would lay there wide awake and it just stank, dude, God. And you could hear his daddy watching pornography in there in the other room, dude, God. And he'd bang on the wall whenever it got to like a good scene of the porno or whatever, or when he was spraying out. And I'm like, what in the hell do I, I can't watch, you know what I'm saying? I'm in here. I'm in here in the damn jungle, bro. God, that was, dude, I forgot about that.

• 38:41Speaker 01

  How'd we make it? I mean, the sad part is, I, I have stories like that, I just am not as quite as good at telling them as you.

• 38:48Speaker 02

  What are you talking about, dude? You're a great storyteller, dude.

• 38:51Speaker 01

  Oh man, growing up in the south, dude.

• 38:55Speaker 02

  Dude, remember at a school dance, dude, um, do you remember like being at a school dance and when the slow song would come on?

• 41:02Speaker 02

  Nah, nah, we ain't had that yet, man. We had, oh, Z Cavaricci's was kinda popping, it was like this tight, like kinda dance pant. Uh, but yeah, that's a different thing.

• 41:11Speaker 01

  Z Cava, Z Cavaricci.

• 41:14Speaker 02

  Z Cavaricci's, bring them up. It was Italian, it was Italian pants for, for boys and sometimes masculine girls.

• 41:23Speaker 01

  I never heard of Z Cavaricci.

• 41:26Speaker 02

  Oh, them things were popping, bro. But dude, the school dance, boy, you'd get over there.

• 41:32Speaker 01

  Man, I had.

• 41:35Speaker 02

  And in our school, they made the girls sometimes, uh.

• 41:38Speaker 01

  And you hitting this right here, boy.

• 41:40Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, that was a move, dude.

• 41:43Speaker 01

  Freaking.

• 41:43Speaker 02

  And the girls, like, sometimes they made them wear like a, um. You know those pool things that they have at pools that people get in? Like a floaty kind of thing?

• 41:53Speaker 01

  Well, they would.

• 41:55Speaker 02

  Oh, they would do that sometimes, but then some of the girls, their, some of the girls, their daddies would make them wear like a little floaty thing so you couldn't even put.

• 42:01Speaker 01

  You're lying.

• 42:02Speaker 02

  I swear, you couldn't even put your.

• 42:03Speaker 01

  And that poor child had to show up with the floaty on.

• 42:06Speaker 02

  Yeah, but you couldn't put, you had to get your hand, you had to kind of, you, you could rest your hands on it. But you ain't resting them on her back, you know what I'm saying? It was kind of like a little, like bumper bowling, kind of. You ever been bumper bowling? It was like that. But I remember that. And God, dude, I just remember if even if a girl like whispered in your ear, I just remember my ear would start. Just.

• 42:26Speaker 01

  Getting hot.

• 42:27Speaker 02

  Oh, hot, bro. And remember if you even touched like a girl's back or way, it was so hot. I just remember like, God dang, I don't even know what's going on. Or maybe my receptors were bad off, bro.

• 42:38Speaker 01

  No, I was feeling them. I'm just.

• 42:43Speaker 02

  It was just, it just be, that, that, that, that, just like that. You forget like how much the energy.

• 42:48Speaker 01

  I don't think kids really go, do they even get hyped? Like, we used to get hyped.

• 42:54Speaker 02

  Dude, we.

• 42:54Speaker 01

  I'm talking hyped.

• 42:56Speaker 02

  Oh, dude.

• 42:56Speaker 01

  And we'd have like homecoming dance, Valentine's, like every President's Day dance.

• 43:03Speaker 02

  Oh, dude, I remember one time I just got an acne or whatever, something had happened. I might have just fallen into something that was like, you know, I might have just.

• 43:10Speaker 01

  Poison ivy?

• 43:11Speaker 02

  It could have been poison ivy. It could have been when that spray truck would come through the neighborhood or something.

• 43:15Speaker 01

  Skeeter truck?

• 43:16Speaker 02

  Cause we fucking, I'd ride right behind that bitch to catch a buzz, but then the, the, the dark side of that was you would get a little bit of rash for not long, maybe forty eight hours. But I remember we had a dance and so, uh, my sister's friend was like, well, I'll put some makeup on you, you know? And they had Revlon. You ever heard of Revlon? And it sounded like.

• 43:37Speaker 01

  It was the only one.

• 43:38Speaker 02

  Yeah, maybe it was.

• 43:39Speaker 01

  And Aqua Net.

• 43:40Speaker 02

  Oh, God, yeah, that shit was.

• 43:42Speaker 01

  White Rain.

• 43:43Speaker 02

  God, you'd start your pants with that shit. That shit could, that was dual purpose. Dude, but I remember she put some makeup on me, dude. And to cover up that acne, and I was like, oh, nobody will be able to know, dude. I fuck, bro, I look like the damn Phantom of the Opera, dude. I looked absolutely un.

• 44:04Speaker 01

  What grade was that?

• 44:05Speaker 02

  I think it was probably eighth grade or something like that. Dude, if you look back on those pictures, I look like Sammy Sosa when those crazy pictures of him came out, you know? Like the later.

• 44:16Speaker 01

  Villa, Villa Lago.

• 44:17Speaker 02

  Oh, bro, damn.

• 44:19Speaker 01

  You look calico.

• 44:20Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, I look like I've been making love to a calico cat, bro. I just, damn, I look bad off, bro. God, I got tricked, though. But that was fun, man. That was a good time, dude. Those are the good times.

• 44:34Speaker 01

  The mosquito sprayer.

• 44:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, I remember that stuff. You grew up, I saw, um, or I read somewhere you grew up on, on a peanut farm, yeah?

• 44:43Speaker 01

  Well, we grew.

• 44:43Speaker 02

  Is that true?

• 44:44Speaker 01

  We grew up in Leesburg, the town.

• 44:46Speaker 02

  In Virginia?

• 44:47Speaker 01

  Lee County, uh, Georgia, South Georgia. And we grew up, we didn't grow up like, you've seen like your houses with all the fields around it. I didn't grow up like that. I grew up in a small town, like, man, just. Quintessential small town, ride your bike down the street, but all, like, there was literally peanut fields. Um, one, a quarter mile down the road, and then all the peanut mills, like, I literally had a peanut mill in my backyard, essentially. I mean, I could take a rock and throw it into the peanut mill. And man, you talk about all those, they start cleaning all those peanuts, dust up the whole city, smelled like peanuts, the whole, and.

• 45:31Speaker 02

  Was it good? Cause you go down there, if you just biked over there, they'd give you a half a handful of nuts or something?

• 45:35Speaker 01

  Well, they, there was plenty to go around.

• 45:37Speaker 02

  Damn, bro.

• 45:37Speaker 01

  And, uh, so we, uh, but you know, we, we would go, uh, pull green peanuts and pick them off the vine and boil them. That was something, you know, this, this time of year, all the peanuts are getting, um, they're starting to mature a little bit, so you can go get green peanuts and boil them. Did y'all ever eat boiled peanuts much in?

• 45:54Speaker 02

  I love eating boiled peanuts, but a lot of times I'll see them like in South Carolina or something like that.

• 45:58Speaker 01

  See, that's how we pulled them up. And then we'd put them on a tailgate. You'd kind of sit them on the back of a tailgate and just sit there and go, and just pick them off, fill them in a bucket.

• 46:09Speaker 02

  Open them all up?

• 46:10Speaker 01

  No, you leave them in the shell. You just pick them like that. And then you wash them real good. That, you know, a lot of people, people always ask me about peanuts. And, uh, they'd be like, I don't like them. Well, some people wouldn't wash them properly. They'd be, hell, you'd be eating dirt, dirt, water and a peanut. So with us, we would really clean them good. Man, when my dad cooks them, they're, they're about as good as it gets.

• 46:33Speaker 02

  Really?

• 46:34Speaker 01

  Get you a Miller Lite and a Styrofoam cup full of boiled peanuts.

• 46:38Speaker 02

  Boiled peanuts are good, huh?

• 46:40Speaker 01

  Oh, man.

• 46:41Speaker 02

  We all do make a flavor with them too, ever? Or was it always?

• 46:43Speaker 01

  We never really did Cajun and all that. You know, we couldn't afford no Tony Sacheris and none of that. We go, we just had to do old Morton's. Straight up Morton's, baby.

• 46:51Speaker 02

  Morton's salt, baby. Dang, that was, dude, that, dude, there was only like a couple of things in the house that you even, remember there were, there weren't even any medicines in the house you were growing up. There was like.

• 47:00Speaker 01

  No.

• 47:00Speaker 02

  Salt.

• 47:01Speaker 01

  Like something pink.

• 47:02Speaker 02

  Yeah, yes.

• 47:03Speaker 01

  What was that?

• 47:04Speaker 02

  That was for, um.

• 47:06Speaker 01

  Pink, uh.

• 47:07Speaker 02

  Calamine lotion.

• 47:08Speaker 01

  Calamine, but then there was always pink antibiotics.

• 47:12Speaker 02

  Oh, like, well, they, uh, what was that? Oh, they, I don't know what it was.

• 47:17Speaker 01

  It was just.

• 47:18Speaker 02

  Pink, I don't, well, they had like, they had like cleansing stuff if you needed to like clean yourself real.

• 47:24Speaker 01

  That's it right there. Just the pink stuff. If you got a, amoxicillin.

• 47:29Speaker 02

  Amoxicillin.

• 47:30Speaker 01

  Bubble gum flavored.

• 47:31Speaker 02

  Bro, that shit cured everything, dude.

• 47:34Speaker 01

  Clap.

• 47:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 47:35Speaker 01

  Childhood clap.

• 47:36Speaker 02

  Oh, fuck. I had a strong case of it, dude. I had clapping my eyes once. That's how bad it was for me, dude. But I've been through a lot.

• 47:46Speaker 01

  You had somebody that was called Blink? Cause he clapped.

• 47:50Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 47:50Speaker 01

  It's called Blink. Boy, they got the blink.

• 47:54Speaker 02

  Bro, that's hilarious, bro. Dude, I'm fucking glad you're here today, man. Dude, you remember I saw, bro, do you even remember that I saw you at, in Hawaii?

• 48:08Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 48:09Speaker 02

  Dude, I remember I was in the sauna, first of all, and there was a man in there, and it was damn Ryan Seacrest in the sauna, and I didn't know what the hell was going on. I thought it was like a new, like a new game show they were doing or something, like man in this, like, you know, out of the, like, Steam buddies.

• 48:26Speaker 01

  Grab the hot rock.

• 48:27Speaker 02

  Yes, I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, I'm like that, like boiled peanuts or whatever, you know?

• 48:33Speaker 01

  So.

• 48:34Speaker 02

  I just didn't know what it was. And then.

• 48:36Speaker 01

  Have you told this story yet?

• 48:38Speaker 02

  Uh-uh.

• 48:39Speaker 01

  The world needs to hear Theo Vaughn's trip to Hawaii with his brand new bodyguard.

• 48:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, I had, yeah, I had a security guy with me, dude, cause I would like.

• 48:51Speaker 01

  So I see Theo.

• 48:52Speaker 02

  But yeah, so I get out there.

• 48:53Speaker 01

  I see you and I'm like, well, I mean, you're in Hawaii.

• 48:57Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 48:58Speaker 01

  It's romantic and beautiful. And I.

• 49:03Speaker 01

  I keep asking you.

• 49:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 49:05Speaker 01

  Like, who'd you bring out? And you keep telling me. A security guard. And I'm like, this is lying. Like, why do you come to the Four Seasons in Hawaii? By yourself with a brand new security? So after about the fifth time, I was like, it's really just him and the security guard.

• 49:30Speaker 02

  Well, I didn't, well, it was.

• 49:31Speaker 01

  How were the conversations?

• 49:32Speaker 02

  Bro, I'll tell you exactly how. So me and him would just go to dinner every night, cause the freeze happened. So the freeze in Nashville, I was in Las Vegas for UFC, the freeze happens, I can't go home.

• 49:43Speaker 01

  Oh, I got it. So you just pivoted, you pivoted.

• 49:47Speaker 02

  Yeah, and I'm not saying that there's probably not great girls in Vegas, but I didn't really know anybody, uh, like, you know, it's like, I just didn't want to bring somebody for five days. I was like, I don't know how long enough to be out there. So I probably could have had some strategy and float, and float a gal out, but anyway, me and him, bro, I sort of got, bro, we.

• 50:05Speaker 02

  We sat there for five nights. We'd be sitting there. We don't really, we weren't even really like, now we're like friends, but at the time we weren't like really friends.

• 50:12Speaker 01

  This is you getting, I mean, hell, that's one way to, that's one way to vet your damn security guard. Just do a Hawaiian getaway.

• 50:20Speaker 02

  Do a honeymoon with him.

• 50:21Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 50:22Speaker 02

  You know, but without the honeymoon.

• 50:23Speaker 01

  Lululemon, y'all out there eating, eating a full pig together.

• 50:27Speaker 02

  Oh, dude.

• 50:28Speaker 01

  Who ate the apple?

• 50:31Speaker 02

  I know this, neither one of us put it in our mouths, I'll tell you that, brother. We were just sitting across from each other dreaming about women. That was it. But I will say this, dude, we'd be at dinner and it's just me and him, cause I didn't have anybody to go with.

• 50:44Speaker 01

  Right. And then when we had our dinner, you were like, man, you need to get on.

• 50:51Speaker 01

  You said, I just sort of just got him.

• 50:54Speaker 02

  Well, I didn't know him and I'd already had five meals in a row with him. I was like, this is the one time I get to hang out with you.

• 51:01Speaker 02

  But the hilarious part was, so we'd be sitting there at dinner and somebody in there right next to us would get down on a knee and propose to somebody they were with, dude. We must've sat there next to each other through nine proposals, bro, over five days, just me and him. Eating them, you know, it was always like fish dinners and then it would be, we'd be out on the porch and right next to us, they'd built the American, uh, American Idol.

• 51:24Speaker 01

  Yeah, I was out there doing that, so.

• 51:26Speaker 02

  They'd built y'all stage, so every.

• 51:27Speaker 01

  So I'm sitting there thinking, well, they done brought you in to be some kind of damn guest critiquer. I'm like, you had me so messed up. Like I could, you could have put 10 options of why you were in Hawaii and I done went 0 for 10.

• 51:47Speaker 01

  I kept thinking, like for the first five minutes, I'm like, why are you here?

• 51:51Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 51:51Speaker 01

  Man, I'm just here. I'm like, man, he, the show's done told him he's a surprise or something. And then I'm like, man, this bro's just here with his security guard.

• 52:02Speaker 02

  I didn't know what to do and my buddy Rich is the only, sometimes he's the only friend that I have who's not married or doesn't have a job.

• 52:09Speaker 01

  You can't call your married buddies and be like.

• 52:11Speaker 02

  Let's get away, yeah.

• 52:12Speaker 01

  It's ice in Nashville, we're.

• 52:15Speaker 02

  Come hit the road.

• 52:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, let's go to Hawaii.

• 52:17Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, it just doesn't work like that. So it's like, yeah, sometimes it's like, well, that's my buddy I can go with, you know? And so like, yeah, sometimes we end up just kind of going around to places, but dude, and when I tell you, we sat there and just like, and I think people thought we was gay men or whatever, because, uh, they would, um, they would, everybody else was just couples, you know, and it was just me and him sitting there eating dinner all the time. Man, it was pretty sad, bro, but it was nice.

• 52:47Speaker 01

  They still with you?

• 52:48Speaker 02

  Uh, yeah. So we're still, and we're buddies now too. It's kind of like now, like we just went to Austin this weekend. But yeah, things got kind of scary for a little bit. It's like, I don't know.

• 52:58Speaker 01

  I get it.

• 52:59Speaker 02

  And I think you just don't know how people are gonna act sometimes, like things can just be weird. So sometimes it's nice to have somebody around to watch.

• 53:05Speaker 01

  Well, you know, we're talking about.

• 53:07Speaker 02

  Just to watch your six.

• 53:08Speaker 01

  We're talking about, and, and, and like with me, when we're, when my son's playing football at our stadium. You know, our home crowd, they, they get, they're not gonna come up to me and want a picture while I'm watching my son. But man, when we travel to other, other away schools, um, it's nice to have a guy just go, hey, local. You, you kind of have a guy, it's nice to have a guy just go, hey, let him watch, let him watch his son play. And then on our way out or whatever, you gotta have a guy manage that, cause if I'm managing that by myself.

• 53:46Speaker 02

  Then you're distracted from your son's game.

• 53:47Speaker 01

  Then I'm managing that.

• 53:49Speaker 02

  Right.

• 53:49Speaker 01

  Like even in Alabama this week, we signed, I mean, I didn't, I didn't take a picture with everybody that would have wanted one, but when the game was going on, I was watching the game, not, cause man, I, I'm, I try to, I try to do the right things on all those moments, you know, you got little kids standing there wanting a picture, but it's nice to have a guy to kind of.

• 54:08Speaker 02

  Yeah, just say, hey, what's going on? And also somebody just to, and it's like, but it's just somebody to go with. It's like, I know it, let's go. Look, we can go do something, it's good and he likes to go to the gym. It's getting sadder and sadder, but it's also, it's like, we, we'll go to the gym.

• 54:20Speaker 01

  You're never having children, by the way. I'm, I'm learning. You and him could adopt.

• 54:25Speaker 02

  No, dude, I ain't even adopting, dude. Bro, I was with him for five days in Hawaii and I didn't, I didn't even propose. You think I'm adopting?

• 54:32Speaker 01

  Can't y'all both put it in the cup, spin it and then find a donor? Come out looking like both y'all?

• 54:41Speaker 02

  Go put it in the cup.

• 54:42Speaker 01

  Look like that picture you drew.

• 54:47Speaker 02

  Bro, you're hilarious, dude. This is fucking hilarious, bro. God. I know, but I've been going on some day, I've been dating some dude. So I think.

• 54:58Speaker 01

  Locally?

• 54:59Speaker 02

  It's gonna happen semi-local, you know? Semi-local, it's hard to be.

• 55:03Speaker 01

  I've always like, I do got some buddies that are single, they've been divorced, single, like, man, there ain't no women in Nashville and I'm like.

• 55:11Speaker 02

  Well, here's what it is, it's, it's not a walkable city, dude. You walk, you start walking around, you're gonna get hit by something.

• 55:18Speaker 01

  I know, but if you can't find a woman in Nashville, and I'm not saying you're having trouble, but this other couple of other buddies, I'm like, there's a fresh new, there's a fresh new cruise ship.

• 55:32Speaker 02

  A cruise ship from what?

• 55:34Speaker 01

  It's like every weekend, the, the.

• 55:36Speaker 02

  From where, Murphy's Borough?

• 55:38Speaker 01

  Well, they reset.

• 55:39Speaker 02

  From. Oh, I see what you're saying. Gals just coming in, but there's some places you can't, we, we, I mean, like, oh, I agree, yeah.

• 55:45Speaker 01

  It's like it resets on Wednesday.

• 55:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 55:49Speaker 01

  And then.

• 55:50Speaker 02

  You gotta get out there, but dude, I can't go out to Broadway, it's dangerous out there. It's like you just run, it's like, it's too much out there.

• 55:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, well, I'm sure you probably did it a little bit and then it was like, eh.

• 56:01Speaker 02

  I probably went maybe three times.

• 56:02Speaker 01

  Well, I was with you, I honestly was with you, first time you told me you and Kid Rock tried to walk down the street of Broadway and you were like, dude, like you had just tried it. We were at that little, we were at a showcase, first time you and I met. And you were like, man, I just learned I can't walk down Broadway, so for the first time.

• 56:21Speaker 02

  Maybe it was, I think if people are drunk too, it's scary. That's the thing, you know? It's just scary when people are drunk, dude. But.

• 56:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, their barriers seem to go away.

• 56:32Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think, and it's normal.

• 56:34Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 56:34Speaker 02

  But it's like, if you're not drunk, it's just like, you know, it's just a mix of things, but.

  Yeah, dude, living in Nashville has been great, though. Just all the different people just to meet and be around, man. It's been a vibe, dude.

• 59:53Speaker 01

  And then you get to go out in the country and have your country moments.

• 59:57Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, dude, we just got back.

• 59:58Speaker 01

  I hate I do. I do had a Mr. Turkey Hunt with Waddell, but I I came in the week after.

• 1:00:03Speaker 02

  Did you the one with, uh, with Michael Waddell?

• 1:00:04Speaker 01

  When you went down, yeah, when you went down there.

• 1:00:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, well, they wouldn't.

• 1:00:07Speaker 01

  I was the week later.

• 1:00:08Speaker 02

  Dude, they put the gun, the bullets they put in my gun weren't even real. They didn't, they didn't trust me with firearm.

• 1:00:15Speaker 01

  Did you find that out later?

• 1:00:17Speaker 02

  Huh? Yeah.

• 1:00:20Speaker 01

  Well, who killed the turkey?

• 1:00:22Speaker 02

  I couldn't have done it.

• 1:00:24Speaker 01

  Well, first of all, you're wearing the wrong attire.

• 1:00:27Speaker 02

  They said green, and yeah, I fucked it up.

• 1:00:30Speaker 01

  Now, have you done that again?

• 1:00:32Speaker 02

  Nah, I would go down again, though.

• 1:00:33Speaker 01

  I'll take you hunting and I'll put.

• 1:00:34Speaker 02

  Will you?

• 1:00:35Speaker 01

  I won't. I'll put your real ammo in the.

• 1:00:37Speaker 02

  Take me somewhere. See, look right here.

• 1:00:39Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:00:41Speaker 02

  I didn't know what the fuck was going on. And those, those glasses were from a damn senior citizen. So those get dark. You know how dark some of the.

• 1:00:49Speaker 01

  Did you get cataract surgery two days before that?

• 1:00:51Speaker 02

  Those stuff, bro, them bitches were dark, dude. I drove a sedan home, you know? Them bitches were big, dude.

• 1:00:57Speaker 01

  A Lincoln Continental?

• 1:00:59Speaker 02

  Bro, you pass, it happens, bro. That's how I want to get that.

• 1:01:01Speaker 01

  Well, that's fun. You got to do that. I'll take you on some real stuff. Waddell, he don't know what he's doing, so.

• 1:01:06Speaker 02

  Well, he was hunting some osceolas, and I'll say this, man. They hunt, like, afterwards, we were leaving the, the, I don't know if it's called the scene of the crime or whatever it is, wherever you go hunt. So we're leaving out of there, and the, there's two birds, like, right by the road, like, on the way out. And they get out, like, we're gonna shoot them.

• 1:01:24Speaker 01

  Ambush them.

• 1:01:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, and I'm like, dude, the game's over. Like, we already did it out there, and these are, like, in the locker room. One of them's taking his, he's got a towel on his neck, one of these turkeys.

• 1:01:34Speaker 01

  Yeah, putting Gold Bond on.

• 1:01:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, and Waddell, well, somebody went over there with a damn handgun, I think, and I was like, dear God, get me, this is, this is turning into something else, you know? This is a damn wet market, so we're back.

• 1:01:50Speaker 02

  But God, bro, but it was fun, dude. I would go hunt some other stuff. Dude, it might, we, we might have to start getting some real different animals, especially with these beef prices. You see what's going on with all that?

• 1:01:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, you know, it's, it's funny, man. I mean, I'm.

• 1:02:02Speaker 02

  Trump, Trump said he's got three hundred thousand, three hundred thousand tons of beef they found somewhere. Let's, let me see what it is. The president announced Friday that his administration would temporarily, temporarily lift tariffs on up to three hundred thousand metric tons of imported ground beef, dude.

• 1:02:20Speaker 01

  Well, be, uh, you know, I'm kinda in the loop on all that. I talked to a lot of buddies that, that have them, and, you know, there was, I, I, I'm not, I mean, I'm in ag. I mean, I've kinda, I've gotten to know, uh, I've gotten to know Brooke Rollins, the Secretary of Agriculture.

• 1:02:37Speaker 02

  Cool guy.

• 1:02:38Speaker 01

  Uh, it's a girl, and, um, she, uh, that's her.

• 1:02:44Speaker 02

  Hey, what's up, Brooke?

• 1:02:46Speaker 01

  She's the best. She's married. She's got kids, uh, at A and M, and.

• 1:02:51Speaker 02

  Okay, I shouldn't even be asking this.

• 1:02:53Speaker 01

  But she, uh, I know, you feel bad now. Now you're gonna have your phone tapped.

• 1:03:00Speaker 02

  Yeah, every time, yeah, every, every time I say poultry, it'll ping somewhere.

• 1:03:05Speaker 01

  Brooke's gonna, Brooke's gonna put some, uh, dude, so, man, they just had this thing in Texas called screw, screw worms.

• 1:03:14Speaker 02

  I've never had them.

• 1:03:15Speaker 01

  Yeah, well, you would know.

• 1:03:16Speaker 02

  Hmm, is it bad?

• 1:03:17Speaker 01

  So they light screw worms light on your skin, their eggs hatch on your skin, and they burrow into your body.

• 1:03:27Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 1:03:27Speaker 01

  And.

• 1:03:28Speaker 02

  Damn.

• 1:03:29Speaker 01

  And so.

• 1:03:30Speaker 02

  It's like he's having neighbors.

• 1:03:32Speaker 01

  So Brooke and I, you know, I've done my farm tour stuff through the years, and, and so we've had a lot of, I've gotten to meet a lot of governors, um, that come out to my farm tours. I've, I've, uh, worked with Brooke on trying to plan stuff to, to bring, to lift up farmers, but, man, it's funny, you know? Listen, I mean, we all, everybody can sit back and judge administrations and cabinet members and all that, but when you know somebody that's in the trenches doing it, I mean, you hear what they're having to try to negotiate a day, like, man, she's having a, well, first of all, when they came, when she came into office, like,

• 1:04:07Speaker 01

  there weren't any, I mean, the egg, egg prices were going crazy, um, poultry, you know, bird flu, and you're like, man, you're not even thinking that the Secretary of Agriculture is trying to solve all these problems. And then I call her up, and I'm like, what are you doing today? She's like, she's like, I mean, yeah, we're trying to.

• 1:04:27Speaker 02

  Swine flu's back, yeah.

• 1:04:28Speaker 01

  Or it's something, well, then, she's rocking and rolling right time they get, about time they get the eggs going, then screw worms come in in Texas, and the problem with screw worms is.

• 1:04:39Speaker 02

  What are they? Bring them up.

• 1:04:40Speaker 01

  They're a, they're a fly, and, and, and, and, they're a fly that you can, they're easily controlled if you, you gotta, you gotta, look at that.

• 1:04:54Speaker 02

  I don't want them bitches.

• 1:04:55Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:04:55Speaker 02

  God, and look at that one, huh?

• 1:04:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's a lot different than pecker gnats. You remember pecker gnats?

• 1:05:02Speaker 02

  Uh-uh.

• 1:05:04Speaker 01

  Never mind.

• 1:05:05Speaker 02

  I don't think so.

• 1:05:06Speaker 01

  Did you grow up with, you didn't grow up with pecker gnats? That's where the old gnats fly around your dog's pecker. My old granddaddy go, look at that, now, pecker gnats.

• 1:05:14Speaker 02

  Is that a real thing? That happened?

• 1:05:15Speaker 01

  Pecker gnats.

• 1:05:16Speaker 02

  Oh, wow.

• 1:05:17Speaker 01

  Anyway, so, these things light on, well, not only do they get on cattle, they get on deer and wildlife.

• 1:05:25Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:05:26Speaker 01

  Yeah, so they'll, if you're, well, you're monitored, you know, if you're a cattle farmer, you're watching your herd a lot better.

• 1:05:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:05:33Speaker 01

  But if you're a, if you have a big deer ranch, you can't really.

• 1:05:37Speaker 02

  You can't monitor them all.

• 1:05:38Speaker 01

  You can't monitor your deer, so you gotta really, this is a, it's a bad thing. So what you gotta do is you have to launch sterile flies into the environment that mate with the female flies, so the female flies.

• 1:05:53Speaker 02

  Will chill out?

• 1:05:54Speaker 01

  They don't hatch, the eggs don't hatch, and then they die.

• 1:05:57Speaker 02

  Damn.

• 1:05:59Speaker 01

  Who would've known?

• 1:06:00Speaker 02

  Dude, when you think about how so many, like, little edges of science they have to use, New World Screwworm eradication relies primarily on the sterile insect technique, which involves releasing millions of radiation sterilized male flies to mate with wild females and halt reproduction. That's, the fact that we don't even know that that goes on, all the things that we don't even know that goes on, man. I'm just wondering if they're, like, you start to wonder if we're gonna have to start to evolve to some other meats. That's my big question, you know what I'm saying? Say the price of beef gets too crazy, because also I know that they don't have, like, a young herd of cattle. That's one of the problems.

• 1:06:34Speaker 01

  Well, I think drought, you know, there was a, there was a lot of, uh, man, there was the one, there was the one time where all the, the, I think one thing that got us put behind was when a lot of the cattle was lost in the big freezes a couple of years ago.

• 1:06:49Speaker 02

  You'd think that would be fun. First of all, heat or freeze, it's ready to eat, or it's, you can eat it later. That's how I feel like that thing would go.

• 1:06:58Speaker 01

  Alive, Theo.

• 1:07:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:07:01Speaker 01

  They died from, from cold weather, like, hundreds of thousands.

• 1:07:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, but I'm saying they're frozen.

• 1:07:10Speaker 01

  You can't, once they die in the field, you can't go out there and salvage it.

• 1:07:14Speaker 02

  Yeah, you can't, boy.

• 1:07:17Speaker 02

  You can't.

• 1:07:19Speaker 01

  Well, that's why, ask it why we're in the true cattle deficit right now. I mean, why we're in the.

• 1:07:26Speaker 02

  That's a great question.

• 1:07:27Speaker 01

  Yeah, why are we, why is it happening now?

• 1:07:29Speaker 02

  The U.S. is a historic, is in a historic cattle deficit with herd sizes dropping to a seventy-five-year low of roughly eighty-six point two million head, primarily driven by years of severe drought, soaring operational costs, and an aging ranching workforce. Wow.

• 1:07:46Speaker 02

  Huh. Prolonged dry spells across major cattle-producing states dried up water sources, um, urban sprawl and high land values have tempted older ranchers to sell property to developers rather than passing unprofitable, unprofitable operations down to younger generations. Huh.

• 1:08:02Speaker 01

  Interesting.

• 1:08:04Speaker 02

  Man, I think, hopefully, hopefully.

• 1:08:06Speaker 01

  Think about all the stuff that's, do you remember, like, being a kid, just being like, we're gonna get nuked. Do you ever think about that as a kid, like?

• 1:08:15Speaker 02

  Getting nuked by something?

• 1:08:16Speaker 01

  Just getting nuclear warheads and stuff. I remember just always being scared of, like.

• 1:08:22Speaker 02

  Did you?

• 1:08:22Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:08:23Speaker 02

  Trying to think of what I was scared of, probably.

• 1:08:26Speaker 01

  I was scared of, like.

• 1:08:29Speaker 02

  We had a neighbor that kept burning down homes in our neighborhood.

• 1:08:33Speaker 01

  You know, we had wild, my mother, I think in an attempt, so I wouldn't play in the yard a lot. She would tell me that there were packs of wild dogs that would roll through the front yard and eat me alive.

• 1:08:45Speaker 02

  Damn, there you go.

• 1:08:48Speaker 02

  So she had early onset, but I'm gonna tell you, my mother just.

• 1:08:53Speaker 01

  I mean, I mean.

• 1:08:55Speaker 02

  That's crazy, dude.

• 1:08:57Speaker 01

  And like about every month or two, you'd see a pack in the car. There they are Luke, see?

• 1:09:04Speaker 02

  Oh, do you remember a dog?

• 1:09:05Speaker 01

  And they were all hunting one hot dog, I mean, one dog in heat.

• 1:09:09Speaker 02

  Oh, they were just.

• 1:09:10Speaker 01

  It wasn't wild dogs, it was just every dog that wasn't on a leash in Smithville, Georgia was just chasing the one horse.

• 1:09:17Speaker 02

  Yeah, and how many leashes did they have in Smithville, Georgia? Yeah, that's what I'm guessing. Dude, well, I remember they just had wild dogs when I was a kid. They had a dog in the neighborhood. I remember the first time I saw a Doberman Pinscher, dude, and a Rottweiler, bro.

• 1:09:31Speaker 01

  Not on a leash.

• 1:09:32Speaker 02

  Yeah. Oh, I couldn't even, dude, the Rottweiler played tailback somewhere in our town, I think, dude. They had some damn, I mean, some of the dogs were just wild when you were a kid. Oh, that dog right there. God.

• 1:09:46Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, when you, I remember seeing them in, just in the back of a pickup truck, just going like, what is, what is that? What is that? And I don't want, I don't want.

• 1:09:57Speaker 02

  Nothing to do with that, dude.

• 1:09:59Speaker 01

  Well, then everybody that owned them would brag about how it could crush a bowling ball with one bite.

• 1:10:06Speaker 02

  Damn.

• 1:10:06Speaker 01

  So.

• 1:10:07Speaker 02

  We had a guy who killed his grandmother, uh, and that, yeah, that was unfortunate. But yeah, it was a sketchy area, cuz.

• 1:10:16Speaker 01

  Not with the Rottweiler?

• 1:10:17Speaker 02

  Nah, dude, he damn did it. I mean, I didn't even wanna talk about it, but it wasn't good. Uh, and she was our lunch lady, too. God, that was heartbreaking.

• 1:10:27Speaker 01

  Sloppy Joe Day went south.

• 1:10:31Speaker 02

  Yeah, bro.

• 1:10:32Speaker 01

  But my mom is, I mean, she's, I mean, my mom has like 500,000 Instagram followers. But I, I can see that my mom, she has three kids.

• 1:10:43Speaker 02

  Yeah, she's hilarious.

• 1:10:44Speaker 01

  We're living in a single wide trailer, she's tired, her son wants to go out and ride his tricycle down the dirt road.

• 1:10:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:10:53Speaker 01

  And she don't wanna sit out there and watch him in the 85 degree, 95 degree weather, so what do you tell him?

• 1:10:58Speaker 02

  Dangerous.

• 1:10:59Speaker 01

  I think the wild dogs, we're in a, we're in DEFCON, we're in DEFCON 5 right now for wild dogs, son. You're gonna have to, you're gonna have to wait till it cools off a little bit.

• 1:11:08Speaker 02

  My mom would, well, this is back when, I was just talking about this the other week, this is back when they used to have pedophiles or whatever, they'd send them to the door. You had to law, you had to say you was a pedophile, you know?

• 1:11:17Speaker 01

  What is that?

• 1:11:18Speaker 02

  Pedophiles, people that are.

• 1:11:22Speaker 01

  Pedophiles?

• 1:11:24Speaker 02

  Yeah, pedi, yeah, people say it different. Pedophiles, bring it up.

• 1:11:28Speaker 01

  I thought you were, I thought you were talking about Pedialyte. I thought y'all were malnourished, I thought you were so malnourished, they would drop Pedialyte off at your house.

• 1:11:38Speaker 02

  Bro, if you see an older dude just drinking Pedialyte, that dude is halfway there, that's all I'm telling you, cuz. A pedophile often misspelled as pedophile, so we out, we misspelled it. But also then we mis-said it, I'm fine with it. But anyway, this was the laws they had where you had to go door to door and say you were a pedophile, remember? But our moms all worked.

• 1:11:59Speaker 01

  You can't say you're pedophile.

• 1:12:01Speaker 02

  They had to.

• 1:12:03Speaker 01

  That's, you would admit to being a pedophile?

• 1:12:05Speaker 02

  They had to. If you moved to a new area, you had to go door to door in the neighborhood and let everybody know you lived in the neighborhood.

• 1:12:12Speaker 01

  If you were a pedophile?

• 1:12:14Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:12:15Speaker 01

  Oh, the.

• 1:12:15Speaker 02

  If you weren't, what the fuck, why would you do it?

• 1:12:17Speaker 01

  I thought you were saying that.

• 1:12:19Speaker 02

  That's crazy.

• 1:12:21Speaker 01

  I thought you would, I, I get it, it was like a judge ordered.

• 1:12:25Speaker 02

  Ordered, you have to go tell everybody.

• 1:12:26Speaker 01

  Got it, alright.

• 1:12:27Speaker 02

  So these pedophiles would come to the door and it would be four, us four kids standing there.

• 1:12:31Speaker 01

  And he'd go.

• 1:12:32Speaker 02

  He'd be like, hey, I'm just letting y'all know, I'm a pedophile. We'd be like, put it in the stack, dude, they had some damn. Dude, we played kickball with this one pedophile, dude, and we'd mess with him, we'd be like, you ain't touching my ass. And we'd just kick that bitch, dude. Cause once you know who it is, kinda the, you know, a little bit of this, you know.

• 1:12:51Speaker 01

  You know whether to hang a right or left.

• 1:12:53Speaker 02

  Yes, you just know what's going on. It's when the secret is surprise, when they don't have that surprise there, that's, you know, when they can't surprise you. Dude, we used to have a ham radio, remember that, dude? And you'd talk to, get that CB radio and just be talking to truckers. Dude, somebody would come, oh, somebody would come and make love to my neighbor and we'd go sit out in his car while he was in there. And we'd just sit on his, on that, on that CB radio talking to truckers, dude. And that's fun. That shit was, we had a good time, dude. Yeah.

• 1:13:23Speaker 01

  Did y'all, we would build forts, we would take saplings. And chop them off with a machete and haul them up the tree and make logs. But if we fell out of the tree, we would all, if we fell out of the tree, we would land on the saplings.

• 1:13:47Speaker 02

  No, y'all weren't doing, y'all were doing some damn Vietnam shit.

• 1:13:50Speaker 01

  We would land, we could, could have landed on the saplings that we just.

• 1:13:53Speaker 02

  Oh, really? Like break your fall?

• 1:13:56Speaker 01

  You just would get impaled. We never got impaled, but it, it was a miracle.

• 1:14:01Speaker 02

  It could've.

• 1:14:01Speaker 01

  We did.

• 1:14:02Speaker 02

  No, we had, some dude had passed through town and chiseled a set of tits into a tree by us. And people would go out there and look at them.

• 1:14:10Speaker 01

  Where'd you stash your Playboys?

• 1:14:13Speaker 02

  We would, dude, we just found them, dug them up. I remember my brother had some stacked on the topest shelf they ever made in the whole world, dude. And I climbed up there one time and I didn't know what was up there. And they had cologne, little bit of booze, and damn, nudie mags, boy. And I took a hit off all three of them. I think I drank half that cologne by the end of that night. I didn't know what was going on, dude. I remember passing out and coming to and.

• 1:14:37Speaker 01

  The death of.

• 1:14:38Speaker 02

  Coming out and passing.

• 1:14:39Speaker 01

  The Playboy magazine.

• 1:14:41Speaker 02

  That, that's when society fell. And when men started getting leg tattoos, that's when shit all fell apart.

• 1:14:47Speaker 01

  Yep. I mean, if you couldn't ride your bike to the woods, hike one mile, and find your Playboys under a piece of old rusted tin and sit there and.

• 1:14:58Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:14:58Speaker 01

  Sit there in nature.

• 1:15:00Speaker 02

  Oh, we had a fella draw you a cooter for the weekend for $2, $3. This fellow Nick, and he passed away.

• 1:15:08Speaker 01

  We had Swisher Sweets stashed with our, uh, Playboys, so we'd come home smelling.

• 1:15:14Speaker 02

  God.

• 1:15:15Speaker 01

  We'd come home smelling not like Swisher Sweets.

• 1:15:20Speaker 02

  God, dude, it was all that, all that stuff was being fun, dude.

• 1:15:23Speaker 01

  What are they doing now?

• 1:15:24Speaker 02

  I love nostalgia. I don't know what kids are doing now. I think it's just, well, everything's turning into robots now, dude. It's all changing, dude. But I wonder, what, if, if, uh, what was I thinking? Oh, I was gonna say, if, if we did have to go to a rare meat, what would you go to, dude? Something that's not.

• 1:15:39Speaker 01

  Rare meat.

• 1:15:40Speaker 02

  Something that's not a meat yet, what you gonna get to?

• 1:15:44Speaker 01

  Not whitetail meat, not deer meat, not elk meat.

• 1:15:49Speaker 02

  Say if beef, beef gets too out there, what do you, which, what do you think, what do we switch to? Squirrel, maybe?

• 1:15:56Speaker 01

  I've had squirrel. We used to shoot squirrels. I mean, we pellet.

• 1:16:01Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:16:02Speaker 01

  Just pellet gun, squirrels. We had a little lady named Mabel Copswell. Mabel had a little nephew that used to come into town, Chris. Me and him, we'd get our pellet guns, we, we shot about eight squirrels one night.

• 1:16:17Speaker 02

  God, yeah.

• 1:16:17Speaker 01

  And she, uh, we skinned them. And it's really weird when you skin a squirrel and then you're eating it like 30 minutes later. It's, there needs to be a little more gap time. You probably oughta soak it in some water a little bit, but we ate it.

• 1:16:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:16:37Speaker 01

  And she put it on wild rice. And I threw it up for nine hours that night as a kid.

• 1:16:44Speaker 02

  And you think it was tainted meat?

• 1:16:46Speaker 01

  It was the last time I'd ate squirrel. Threw up, when you throw up raw squirrel, I'm not sure she cooked it all the way. It left a mark.

• 1:16:56Speaker 02

  And did you put any vinegar on it? That's how I like it.

• 1:16:59Speaker 01

  Vinegar? Nah, but squirrels are good. I think squirrel, populations are.

• 1:17:04Speaker 02

  That's what I'm saying, they're thriving. That's fucking bran, that's damn branch cattle. You know what I'm saying? You see them bitches up there, dude, you see 2,000 squirrels, dude.

• 1:17:13Speaker 01

  But deer meat.

• 1:17:13Speaker 02

  How many squir, how many squirrels are in the world right now? Bring that up.

• 1:17:16Speaker 01

  Squirrels in the world.

• 1:17:18Speaker 02

  There is no exact global count for all squirrels, but scientists estimate there are hundreds of millions to billions of individual squirrels worldwide, boy.

• 1:17:29Speaker 01

  Look, 175 species of squirrels, ground squirrels, flying squirrels, and chipmunks.

• 1:17:34Speaker 02

  God, fly right into my mouth, cuz, them bitches are good.

• 1:17:38Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:17:39Speaker 02

  Dude, it wouldn't take long for us to get used to them. I could have some.

• 1:17:42Speaker 01

  Marinate them.

• 1:17:43Speaker 02

  Huh?

• 1:17:44Speaker 01

  Just marinate it.

• 1:17:45Speaker 02

  Yeah, you gotta do something different, dude, but I could have that.

• 1:17:47Speaker 01

  Put some of that Morton's on them, baby.

• 1:17:49Speaker 02

  You know what else I might even?

• 1:17:50Speaker 01

  Slow smoke them. Slow smoke them.

• 1:17:54Speaker 02

  Dude, what if?

• 1:17:55Speaker 01

  Dehydrated.

• 1:17:56Speaker 02

  Bro, if things got real bad, I'll cook that bitch with a lighter, dude.

• 1:17:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, with a damn candle, a damn Bed and Bath, Bath of Body Works caramel candle.

• 1:18:04Speaker 02

  Oh, dude, I'll put that thing, which is a Christmas cookie candle right under that bitch, boy. God, that's a good way to do it. I'll tell you this, and then people aren't gonna wanna hear it, I'd eat, I'd eat damn Scottish terrier if I could, they're beautiful. Bring one up, look how cute they are. And I'm saying only if things got real bad. I'm not doing, I'm not running into a damn Petco and doing it.

• 1:18:25Speaker 01

  Scottish terrier.

• 1:18:26Speaker 02

  Bring up the white one, I like the white ones. I'm open to whatever, but

• 1:18:32Speaker 02

  I grew up around a couple of white ones. Look at them.

• 1:18:34Speaker 01

  You'd eat that?

• 1:18:35Speaker 02

  If he were real sick, yeah. And if he didn't mind,

• 1:18:40Speaker 02

  I'd have to get somebody like one of that dog whisperer, remember that guy?

• 1:18:43Speaker 01

  Well, so, have you ever had elk meat?

• 1:18:46Speaker 02

  I had reindeer somewhere. That breaks your heart, but I've had a little.

• 1:18:50Speaker 01

  Do you like duck meat?

• 1:18:51Speaker 02

  I've never had it, I don't think.

• 1:18:52Speaker 01

  Duck on down here and get some of this meat.

• 1:18:54Speaker 02

  Hey, God. I got you.

• 1:18:59Speaker 01

  Bro, get out of here, dude.

• 1:19:00Speaker 02

  That is a great, that's a duck hunting joke, and I got your ass.

• 1:19:05Speaker 01

  Bro.

• 1:19:07Speaker 02

  Dude.

• 1:19:11Speaker 02

  That's fucking great.

• 1:19:12Speaker 01

  You started, that thing got set up thirty minutes ago.

• 1:19:16Speaker 02

  What?

• 1:19:16Speaker 01

  When you brought up meat, baby. I've been waiting thirty minutes to hit you with that shit. We had to go through squirrel meat, Scottish terrier meat, elk meat, and I finally got the duck meat.

• 1:19:29Speaker 02

  You've been waiting, huh?

• 1:19:30Speaker 01

  It's awesome.

• 1:19:31Speaker 02

  God dang, that is good. Thank you. I needed that.

• 1:19:34Speaker 01

  You need to get on elk meat, man. I go elk hunting. You need to go on elk hunt.

• 1:19:38Speaker 02

  Hell, I.

• 1:19:39Speaker 01

  You put it in your freezer. So my wife, man, you know, most, most women don't think about, oh, I got a freezer full of elk meat. Well, when the first elk I brought home, she, um, it was in the freezer and finally, man, she just, she goes out there and grabs it and chill.

• 1:19:56Speaker 02

  Your wife did? And does it still have the horns in it or you take them out?

• 1:19:58Speaker 01

  No, it's all, looks like ground beef. They process it. You know, if you're out in Colorado and you kill an elk out there, you take it to the local processor and they ship it to you. You'd love that, though.

• 1:20:10Speaker 02

  I wouldn't mind trying it.

• 1:20:11Speaker 01

  So why are you, why are you so stressed about, you're stressed about this meat thing?

• 1:20:15Speaker 02

  Well, I just start to worry, like, what if things get weird? Like, you know what I'm saying? I want to have a strategy where when things do get, start to get kind of dystopian in the world, say something happens.

• 1:20:23Speaker 01

  What percentage of, I've never had one of these. Are they good?

• 1:20:26Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's great, man. It's good stuff.

• 1:20:28Speaker 01

  What percentage, what is this, by the way?

• 1:20:31Speaker 02

  This is called.

• 1:20:31Speaker 01

  This will be the first one I've ever had.

• 1:20:33Speaker 02

  It's called Celsius. It's a, it's a, it's an energy drink.

• 1:20:36Speaker 01

  Is it gonna make me say a lot of stuff I want to take back? Too late?

• 1:20:39Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:20:41Speaker 01

  I mean, I'd say Pecker Nats is one I want back.

• 1:20:44Speaker 02

  Oh, dude. No, that one's fun, I think, man.

• 1:20:50Speaker 01

  Oh, that's good. Yeah, this, what, what percent are, are we on the way there?

• 1:20:55Speaker 02

  It's like vape, it's like drinking vape.

• 1:20:57Speaker 01

  Have you started your, uh, do you have your doomsday bunker here?

• 1:21:00Speaker 02

  No, I don't have a bunker yet. I don't, I, I don't have that kind of, I don't have that kind of loot. I got, uh, I got probably eleven bags of Quikcreed in my yard right now. So I could fucking probably get behind that and not for long.

• 1:21:11Speaker 01

  You could build your own little smoker with that.

• 1:21:15Speaker 02

  And hide in that bitch. Boy, they'll never find me in that bitch. Dude, if you get it, here's what I'm saying. If you can't afford a, a bunker, just get you a big ass grill.

• 1:21:24Speaker 01

  Did you watch Paradise?

• 1:21:26Speaker 02

  Mm-mm. I don't.

• 1:21:26Speaker 01

  Show Paradise?

• 1:21:27Speaker 02

  Paradise?

• 1:21:28Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:21:29Speaker 02

  Uh-uh.

• 1:21:29Speaker 01

  Well, anyway.

• 1:21:31Speaker 02

  I've had Parrot Ice. Have you seen those things? Those drink, those like, it's like a mixed, like, uh, thing they have at the gas station or whatever. Bring up Parrot Ice.

• 1:21:38Speaker 01

  Parrot Ice?

• 1:21:39Speaker 02

  You know what I'm talking about?

• 1:21:40Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:21:40Speaker 02

  I like those. I used to like them anyway. I don't.

• 1:21:43Speaker 01

  Did they take out slush puppies?

• 1:21:44Speaker 02

  No, we had a bunch of.

• 1:21:46Speaker 01

  Oh, God, remember slush puppies?

• 1:21:48Speaker 02

  God, they were good.

• 1:21:49Speaker 01

  Lemon lime slush puppies.

• 1:21:51Speaker 02

  Oh, God. I remember all that shit.

• 1:21:55Speaker 01

  There's a slush puppy right, that's what you need to get tattooed on your leg.

• 1:21:58Speaker 02

  You think so?

• 1:21:59Speaker 01

  Your old slush puppy.

• 1:22:00Speaker 02

  I'm, no, I ain't, I got enough. Nah, dude.

• 1:22:04Speaker 01

  How's slush puppy the company doing?

• 1:22:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, bring them up. That's a good.

• 1:22:08Speaker 01

  We might ought to buy them.

• 1:22:10Speaker 02

  Dude.

• 1:22:11Speaker 01

  Kickstart that again. Make it a little healthier.

• 1:22:14Speaker 02

  These puppies ain't gonna slush themselves, homie, you feel me? Slush puppy is still in business, though. Finding a ready to drink cup at a major US gas station or convenience store is much harder than it used to be. The brand is owned by the Ice Corporation and its parent company, J and J Snack Foods. Damn, that's beautiful. While, while large chains have largely swapped them out for ices or slurpees, the official slush puppy site notes the brand is still active. You can still find machines and syrups in select independent locations, like roller rinks, convenience stores, bowling alleys.

• 1:22:50Speaker 01

  We gotta get slush puppy back.

• 1:22:52Speaker 02

  And parks. That's not a bad idea. I'd look into that, man.

• 1:22:55Speaker 01

  Well, you remember little jugs? The little jugs, uh, with the, they were about that big. They looked like a grenade. There you go.

• 1:23:04Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:23:05Speaker 01

  I'm talking about sugar water.

• 1:23:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:23:08Speaker 01

  When you got done with football practice and whichever mama brought you that after football, man, you knew, you needed to pass the hat around for them.

• 1:23:17Speaker 02

  You know, them bitches.

• 1:23:18Speaker 01

  It was hurting, baby.

• 1:23:19Speaker 02

  It was hurting bad, bro.

• 1:23:21Speaker 01

  I'm talking about, we'd open up that Styrofoam cooler and the mama brought the little jugs. We're like, and what, and she had the Oreos cut in half. You get a half of Oreo?

• 1:23:32Speaker 02

  God dang, bro, that was it, dude.

• 1:23:36Speaker 01

  Little jugs.

• 1:23:37Speaker 02

  They were good, man. I miss that kind of stuff. I'm, yeah, I'm.

• 1:23:40Speaker 01

  So if, if it goes down, you just need to get into my house.

• 1:23:44Speaker 02

  That's what I need to do.

• 1:23:45Speaker 01

  If it goes down, because I got, we got the deer. We can live off deer for a little bit.

• 1:23:49Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:23:50Speaker 01

  And then we can, I got my.

• 1:23:53Speaker 02

  Dude, I'll live over there, man, and I'll work for you guys, too. I'm happy to get, do something. I did painting. I did siding for a little while. I did flooring.

• 1:24:00Speaker 01

  I, my, I need some gutter work. I need gutter work.

• 1:24:04Speaker 02

  I could do it.

• 1:24:05Speaker 01

  Gutter work?

• 1:24:06Speaker 02

  Yeah, I could do it if you let me do it real early in the morning. I'll be quiet. But I could definitely do it. Get up there four AM and do it.

• 1:24:15Speaker 01

  What was your job, what was the worst job you ever had?

• 1:24:18Speaker 02

  Me?

• 1:24:19Speaker 01

  My grandfather made me put lightning rods on houses. Did y'all have lightning rods?

• 1:24:23Speaker 02

  Mm-mm. I used to count this lady's cat, so. And she had probably fifty cats, dude. And here's what we would do. It was horrible. I forgot about this. We, something was wrong with her. God was trying to get her to come into him soon. And so we'd go get one cat and we'd run it in there and she'd give us a dime for it. And then we'd run in the other room and then run back in with the same fucking cat, dude. Show her that same cat.

• 1:24:47Speaker 01

  I bought my farm and there was a trailer on it that a woman had.

• 1:24:51Speaker 02

  It's catted out?

• 1:24:52Speaker 01

  A few cats. That's a smell you don't forget.

• 1:24:55Speaker 02

  Dude, my friend, they didn't know, but their dog would just go pee in a room in their house. And that was their guest room. I guess they never went in there. And I remember going to stay there. And I walked in and the, I, I like stepped on the carpet and just the dust of like duh, dog pissed dust just flew up out of there. It's like go, almost like when you see gold.

• 1:25:12Speaker 01

  Imagine our immunities, our immune system from growing up.

• 1:25:15Speaker 02

  God, that bitch is strong.

• 1:25:17Speaker 01

  Dude, we used to, we used to play under old houses and just dig in old house dirt.

• 1:25:26Speaker 02

  And go look for shit, yeah.

• 1:25:28Speaker 01

  Under houses.

• 1:25:29Speaker 02

  We, we, yeah, people would always tell us there was gold under people's houses and shit like that.

• 1:25:33Speaker 01

  My dad made me clean out a grain bin elevator one time.

• 1:25:37Speaker 02

  An elevator?

• 1:25:38Speaker 01

  An elevator. So when you pull in, when you, let's just say you got a wagon, a big, uh, you put corn on a big wagon and you dump it in a pit.

• 1:25:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:25:49Speaker 01

  Well, you dump it and that elevator takes it up and dumps it in a big warehouse. Well, we, we took ownership of a new, it wasn't an, of a, we started renting a warehouse to put peanuts in.

• 1:26:00Speaker 02

  All right.

• 1:26:01Speaker 01

  Well, to get the F, to get the, uh, to get it approved so you could store peanuts, you had to clean, well, for years, these farmers had just been using, uh, that elevator to offload wagons and put corn. Dude, my dad sent me down in that thing and it had about five years of soybeans, corn, peanuts. And it would get, if the elevator breaks, you got to be able to go down there and fix it. And that was the elevator room, man. It had about five feet of water in it, two dead cats, some snakes. I got three quarters of the way down. It was straight maggots.

• 1:26:43Speaker 02

  Damn.

• 1:26:44Speaker 01

  And the only way to get it out is you had to shovel it in a five gallon bucket. And the guy above you had to pull it up with the water and it's just hitting you. Man, I went to the local diner after cleaning that thing out. Cleared the whole diner out, man. People couldn't even be in the room with me.

• 1:27:03Speaker 02

  Damn.

• 1:27:03Speaker 01

  It was in my skin.

• 1:27:05Speaker 02

  Some of that shit, dude, I used to have to clean out like, uh, it was like combine, I guess they would run the combine through.

• 1:27:12Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:27:12Speaker 02

  And then they would just park it for the winter. And a lot of, uh, they'd have, still have some, uh, corn in there.

• 1:27:18Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:27:18Speaker 02

  And so some of the mice would get in there and then the snakes would get in there, dude. And I'd have to get in and just clean and just like pressure wash and just, it, man, but it was always, always some crazy, it was usually like a water moccasins or, I guess it wasn't rattlesnakes, but.

• 1:27:33Speaker 01

  Well, we would pull rattlesnakes into our peanut wagons that would come into our peanut mill and you'd climb over there. It was not, it was a.

• 1:27:42Speaker 02

  Those are the days, man. Damn. They were fun, but they were something else, dude. Did you, um, I saw, uh, what was I gonna ask you about? Oh, did you see those robot Olympics that happened?

• 1:27:55Speaker 01

  I saw them attempting, attempting to run.

• 1:27:57Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:27:59Speaker 01

  And I saw one of them went faster than Usain Bolt.

• 1:28:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, bring that up.

• 1:28:05Speaker 01

  But did it, did it, I saw one fail.

• 1:28:08Speaker 02

  Well, do you, yeah, one failed.

• 1:28:09Speaker 01

  I've yet to see one, like, complete the drill. Look at that.

• 1:28:14Speaker 02

  Yeah, well, they.

• 1:28:15Speaker 01

  Damn.

• 1:28:17Speaker 02

  Also, they're, they're still only making the white ones right now. I do want to say that, so.

• 1:28:24Speaker 02

  Things will change a little bit.

• 1:28:25Speaker 01

  This is real. Look at that. Damn.

• 1:28:27Speaker 02

  That's nice, dude.

• 1:28:28Speaker 01

  What's her name?

• 1:28:33Speaker 02

  This is the part of the, like, the boxing, I don't really know. This is crazy, though. But here's what I think's gonna happen, man. I think we get to this place where.

• 1:28:43Speaker 01

  Is it called singularity? Ain't that the term?

• 1:28:45Speaker 02

  Well, it's just like the tech lords and stuff, they're gonna start, these will all be competing for them. So they, that, I'm just saying, they won't need us anymore. What, what will we do?

• 1:28:58Speaker 02

  Look at that little shawty.

• 1:28:59Speaker 01

  That thing.

• 1:29:00Speaker 02

  Hey, bro.

• 1:29:01Speaker 01

  Look at that.

• 1:29:03Speaker 02

  Bro, that looks like an owl trying to get him from a bad date, bro.

• 1:29:06Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 1:29:06Speaker 02

  Without his skirt. Oh, she went down.

• 1:29:09Speaker 01

  So this is in China, though.

• 1:29:11Speaker 02

  Yeah, but you know it's coming here. But dude, I'll tell you this, one of those little dinky ass robots, you, get me a big diesel powered robot from Kentucky, some name Rusty or something, you know what I'm saying? You get that bitch out. Look at that. Dang, that's wild, though.

• 1:29:26Speaker 01

  That's five years that thing won't be falling and sparking.

• 1:29:30Speaker 02

  No, the thing's gonna be cooking. But I just wonder, what will it be like when you get one of those and that thing's doing all the, you know what I'm saying? Like, I just wonder if that's like what it's really like, if it, and if it's that close around the corner. I wouldn't marry no robot, I don't think.

• 1:29:44Speaker 01

  It's big in China. You seen them latex ones and synthetic ones?

• 1:29:48Speaker 02

  Oh, I don't want all that. I don't want to wa, I don't know, I guess. I don't know if she sleeps real heavy or whatever.

• 1:29:54Speaker 01

  You could program her, do that prenup, that weekly prenup with your robot.

• 1:30:01Speaker 02

  I don't know if she sleeps real heavy. Dude, I just, uh. Yeah, having my mom's actually visiting right now, dude.

• 1:30:07Speaker 01

  Yeah, you. So Theo goes, yeah, man, I want you to meet my mom. She goes, oh, she's sunbathing. I'm like, Anne? It's time to meet her, right?

• 1:30:19Speaker 01

  Shit, I was ready to see. I was ready to see something.

• 1:30:24Speaker 02

  I'll make it happen, man.

• 1:30:25Speaker 01

  Sunbathing, out there just cooking. Oh. Oh, and there ain't no clouds in Nashville today. I bet she's out there.

• 1:30:32Speaker 02

  Dude, we used to, we were growing up.

• 1:30:34Speaker 01

  Probably put the damn, just come roll in with the Johnson and Johnson baby oil. None of this damn, no SPF. What's she out there cooking for? Getting her vitamin D up?

• 1:30:44Speaker 02

  Yeah, she just trying to stay active. Dude, she's just at that age. She just told me the other day that she used to be Native American. So I'm like, oh shit, she's starting to lose her mind a little bit.

• 1:30:54Speaker 01

  How old is your mom?

• 1:30:55Speaker 02

  She's seventy seven, man.

• 1:30:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, she's same age as mine.

• 1:30:58Speaker 02

  Is she?

• 1:30:59Speaker 01

  Mine was born in forty seven. No, mom was seventy nine, be seventy nine in October.

• 1:31:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:31:06Speaker 01

  She's good though.

• 1:31:07Speaker 02

  What keeps her the most healthy, you think?

• 1:31:10Speaker 01

  You know, she, man, I think what keeps her the most healthy is she, she's, her weight's really good.

• 1:31:18Speaker 01

  And man, you know what's funny? She's got a little house down in Mexico Beach, Florida. She wants me to put an elevator in. And I'm like, I'm not putting you an elevator in. Because I think going up and down, her, her house is pretty close to the beach, so they gotta be out of the flood plain.

• 1:31:34Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, you gotta.

• 1:31:35Speaker 01

  Man, she's coming up and down. You know, she's coming up and down.

• 1:31:39Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:31:40Speaker 01

  Steps all day. There she is. That's, that's her back porch right there.

• 1:31:44Speaker 02

  She looks good. Who's that with her?

• 1:31:45Speaker 01

  That's old, that's old, that's the old, uh, that's old bankroll daddy right there.

• 1:31:50Speaker 02

  Damn. Somebody's gotta do it.

• 1:31:53Speaker 01

  Hey, man, it's, but man, but dude, that's a.

• 1:31:57Speaker 02

  She looks happy. Oh, that's you, dude?

• 1:31:59Speaker 01

  That's me.

• 1:32:00Speaker 02

  Oh, I need, I'm not even joking. I couldn't tell that. Oh, that's nice, dude.

• 1:32:03Speaker 01

  That's a tough woman.

• 1:32:04Speaker 02

  Yeah. Amen, man.

• 1:32:06Speaker 01

  She, uh, two packs of Salem's every day.

• 1:32:10Speaker 02

  Hell, yeah.

• 1:32:11Speaker 01

  Four Bud Lights. She has calmed down on beers. She drinks her two O'Dooles. There she is.

• 1:32:18Speaker 02

  She's pushing that bitch. Is that a Dyson? She's pushing that bitch.

• 1:32:21Speaker 01

  Yeah, I guess I bought that last week.

• 1:32:25Speaker 01

  Hell, she don't even call me to buy that. She just goes straight to my business manager's assistant.

• 1:32:29Speaker 02

  God, that's how they start cutting corners, dude. That's beautiful, man.

• 1:32:33Speaker 01

  Yeah, my, my, my parents, they, they prey on the weakest link in my global world.

• 1:32:43Speaker 02

  What do you mean?

• 1:32:44Speaker 01

  Well, like if there's a new hire.

• 1:32:46Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 1:32:47Speaker 01

  Right? Let's just say we hire somebody.

• 1:32:50Speaker 02

  All right.

• 1:32:50Speaker 01

  And they come out on the road and they're like, hey, we just hired Casey. My dad's like, Casey, what are you doing around here? Man, I'm, I'm, I do the ice. I need your number. I'm like, oh shit. Next thing you know, Casey's coming to me, hey, your dad called me for five tickets. He said he couldn't get nobody on the phone.

• 1:33:12Speaker 01

  Anyway, that just goes down the.

• 1:33:15Speaker 02

  Down the chain every time?

• 1:33:16Speaker 01

  Get them a new number. If they can get a number to get to me, baby.

• 1:33:19Speaker 02

  Oh, does it make it easier? Yeah. Yeah, dude, I don't, I like.

• 1:33:24Speaker 01

  So my mama would call me and be like, I need some flowers from Lowe's.

• 1:33:28Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:33:29Speaker 01

  And I'd be like, well, you just got some last week. Well, now she just, she just.

• 1:33:35Speaker 02

  Skirting around.

• 1:33:36Speaker 01

  Skirting around. Now I see she got a new lime green electric. And her grass, it didn't look like she had no grass.

• 1:33:42Speaker 02

  Dude, I'll tell you this.

• 1:33:43Speaker 01

  She got them all wild turnips. Sandy lines.

• 1:33:48Speaker 02

  It's either not growing or she just cut it again yesterday. Just don't even tell her, yeah, that's not grass, man.

• 1:33:54Speaker 01

  No, that's like, that's like damn lettuce.

• 1:33:58Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:33:58Speaker 01

  And she got like a, that's like butter. What's that? Uh, butter lettuce?

• 1:34:02Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, that's good. Dude, we just went on a damn road trip last week, dude. That shit was.

• 1:34:07Speaker 01

  You and your mama?

• 1:34:08Speaker 02

  No, me and fricking, uh. Me and some of my friends, bro, we went renting one of those Cruise America campers. You ever rented one of those?

• 1:34:14Speaker 01

  Just went right up there and got one offline?

• 1:34:17Speaker 02

  Well, dude, hold on. We gotten like a big one, but my buddy didn't have his license when he went to get it or whatever. Uh, his driver's license, so they wouldn't give it to us or whatever. So dude, we got this Cruise America thing. Bro, it was like driving a damn open toolbox, dude. It was bang, every step, every, every bump you would hit, bang, bang. We were all huddled up in the front of it, bro. Cause if you were in the back, like everything was flying.

• 1:34:41Speaker 01

  Popcorn, you look like popcorn flying around.

• 1:34:43Speaker 02

  Dude, it was like.

• 1:34:44Speaker 01

  So you're not gonna get a Cruise America endorsement after this?

• 1:34:47Speaker 02

  No, bro. And they know what's up, dude. That's us writing it right there, bro. We took that bitch.

• 1:34:51Speaker 01

  That is like the poster child of it. What was that bad boy a day?

• 1:34:57Speaker 02

  Probably.

• 1:34:59Speaker 01

  Fourteen, fourteen ninety nine?

• 1:35:01Speaker 02

  Maybe ninety.

• 1:35:02Speaker 01

  How far did y'all take it? Now, is that y'all or is that just online?

• 1:35:06Speaker 02

  That's two of my buddies right there.

• 1:35:07Speaker 01

  And what's?

• 1:35:08Speaker 02

  My buddy, Bizil and Zeta, we all went out. We went out to that Field of Dreams baseball game out there.

• 1:35:13Speaker 01

  Was that awesome?

• 1:35:14Speaker 02

  It was cool, man.

• 1:35:14Speaker 01

  But how long was it? Were you sleep deprived? Could you not enjoy it because you were sleep deprived?

• 1:35:20Speaker 02

  Oh dude, it was like, my buddy texted me yesterday. He's like, hey, if you forget what it was like in there, just go slam your head into an open silverware drawer. Bro, that bitch was fucking. Bro, it was miserable, bro.

• 1:35:33Speaker 01

  Who drove?

• 1:35:34Speaker 02

  All of us did, dude.

• 1:35:36Speaker 01

  And no one slept?

• 1:35:37Speaker 02

  Uh, no, we, we ended up just getting to people's houses and staying there. And sometimes we'd sleep in it. Sometimes we'd stay with friends.

• 1:35:42Speaker 01

  Are they gonna do that game every year? Is that Field of Dreams game, it's annual?

• 1:35:47Speaker 02

  I think so. They taken two years off, but now it's back. They actually built, so they don't play the game on the actual field in the movie. They have the movie set that's there. They built another field back behind it through the corn.

• 1:35:58Speaker 01

  So it's kind of. The capacity of it.

• 1:36:00Speaker 02

  About six thousand?

• 1:36:01Speaker 01

  Was it worth it?

• 1:36:02Speaker 02

  It was cool. Yeah. Yeah, it was actually, man. We had a nice time, dude. It was a good experience. Bro, you're standing there and like, they had probably thirty Hall of Famers that were there. And so all of them just came.

• 1:36:12Speaker 01

  Did you hit the corn maze?

• 1:36:14Speaker 02

  Nah, they said it was overpopulated. Oh, and some kind of thick kid, it went missing in that bitch. So they was locking it down. Oh, my God, dang, always.

• 1:36:24Speaker 01

  That's probably why beef prices are screwed. They're making corn mazes.

• 1:36:29Speaker 02

  Hey, that's a good point, bro. When y'all screwing around, fucking. Making puzzles out of your crop, things are gonna get bad, man.

• 1:36:38Speaker 01

  Be feeding the cows with it.

• 1:36:40Speaker 02

  That's wild, dude. Um, yeah, but it was great, dude. We went there and then we went ATV and that was good. With Penelly, you know him?

• 1:36:49Speaker 01

  I don't.

• 1:36:49Speaker 02

  Mike Penelly is friends with Jimmy John and some of those guys.

• 1:36:52Speaker 01

  I hadn't met him.

• 1:36:53Speaker 02

  Or boy, that's us, we were right there.

• 1:36:54Speaker 01

  Y'all? How long y'all, how long was the trip?

• 1:36:57Speaker 02

  Probably one week.

• 1:36:59Speaker 01

  Damn, man, you know, back in COVID, I did thirteen straight days with the boys on my tour bus. It's just the best.

• 1:37:06Speaker 02

  Oh, we had so much fun, man.

• 1:37:07Speaker 01

  You know, I think you could probably afford one of those.

• 1:37:10Speaker 02

  What, a tour bus?

• 1:37:11Speaker 01

  Yeah. The problem is you gotta who's the driver?

• 1:37:14Speaker 02

  Yeah. Oh, yeah. And I couldn't, I couldn't mentally manage a, a big vehicle like that.

• 1:37:20Speaker 01

  What happened there?

• 1:37:21Speaker 02

  That thing flipped or something, some, we had a technical issue on that bitch. But it was good, man. We enjoyed.

• 1:37:27Speaker 01

  Did you go to ATV Park?

• 1:37:29Speaker 02

  No, my buddy built a track out in like, uh, Marcellus, Michigan, and we drove out there. We drove to Chicago to interview Billy Strings. He was up there. He's amazing.

• 1:37:40Speaker 01

  I saw that.

• 1:37:41Speaker 02

  Dude, he's amazing.

• 1:37:41Speaker 01

  He's the, he's, it's just amazing.

• 1:37:45Speaker 02

  Dude, his story, like.

• 1:37:46Speaker 01

  Yeah, I didn't see where you brought a guitar in for me to play like him.

• 1:37:50Speaker 02

  Didn't think about that either. I know you can play.

• 1:37:54Speaker 01

  Didn't he, was it a new song he played you on there?

• 1:37:56Speaker 02

  Yeah. God, it was good. He's great, man. Watching him and just talking with him about how transparent he is, just about everything in his life, bro. He's just had such a wildest life. Um, dude, what was, oh, when, when Riley Green was on, he was talking about your song. Take me through the song again that everybody keeps talking about. It's called Smoke?

• 1:38:15Speaker 01

  Fish, golf, hunt, drink?

• 1:38:16Speaker 02

  Fish, golf, hunt, drink, right? I know, I've heard the song, but I just forget about it because it became like this internet piece of lore or whatever. Trace Ialla is always talking about it. Trace is always talking about it.

• 1:38:26Speaker 01

  Well, yeah, I mean, you know, we wrote it and I think, I mean, you know, it just started this. This, you know, it, this whole narrative got started that, I mean, that's, that's the crazy thing about where we're at with social. They started a narrative that we AI'd it.

• 1:38:45Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:38:45Speaker 01

  And now whether you like the song or not, or whether you like me as an artist, whether you like what I'm about or whatever. I mean, you know, I mean, we're, we're all learning that. I mean, I can't do anything. I mean, back when I wore.

• 1:39:02Speaker 01

  Tight jeans, which wasn't, then I was the tight jean guy. I mean, so you go through all these phases. Well, I don't wear tight jeans anymore. Now I'm the guy that somebody said that I AI'd a song and wrote it. It's a fun song and man, it's, well Riley got involved because Riley, I text Riley that Riley goes, hey man, let's get together. And I said, hell yeah. I said, fish, golf, hunt, drink, et cetera.

• 1:39:28Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:39:28Speaker 01

  And then we wrote the damn song.

• 1:39:30Speaker 02

  Oh, y'all really did write it together?

• 1:39:31Speaker 01

  No, Riley didn't write it with me.

• 1:39:33Speaker 02

  Oh, bet.

• 1:39:33Speaker 01

  But then I told the world that Riley.

• 1:39:36Speaker 02

  Ah.

• 1:39:37Speaker 01

  Well, the damn thing got so much negativity, then Riley was being funny that he didn't want to be like, don't associate me with that.

• 1:39:44Speaker 02

  Oh, I was wondering what he was saying. Yeah, cause I didn't understand exactly.

• 1:39:47Speaker 01

  You know, the, the song, I, I, you know, we featured it as a, like an early release on the album. And man, you know, the fact that we featured it and younger kids called it a single, then man, it got, it got off. Like right when it came out, you know, you get one or two kids with a bunch of Instagram or a bunch of followers that say we AI'd it. And then the whole world like goes on their narrative.

• 1:40:15Speaker 02

  But they'll also go listen to it.

• 1:40:18Speaker 01

  They go listen to it, but then it started, it starts like.

• 1:40:23Speaker 02

  But I don't think people think you really AI'd it. I mean, I think there's like a.

• 1:40:26Speaker 01

  I don't know. I think a lot of people.

• 1:40:29Speaker 02

  You do?

• 1:40:30Speaker 01

  Once it started, once they started that chatter.

• 1:40:35Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:40:36Speaker 01

  It started, I mean, it was pretty crazy.

• 1:40:38Speaker 02

  I think that, ah, yeah, I never, I never grasped that cause I, I would, I saw that stuff. And, but then it led me to go listen to the song, you know, at least, right?

• 1:40:47Speaker 01

  But then dude, it makes guy, it was making guys like, like they're at a camera going, I hate you. Like they're looking in the camera.

• 1:40:58Speaker 02

  I think it's just.

• 1:40:59Speaker 01

  And they're like, I hate you. And I'm like, I'm watching it and I'm like, I can see your face. Like if I see you one day, I'm gonna fucking knock the shit out of you.

• 1:41:13Speaker 02

  Dude, I'll fucking eat somebody's ears off their dick or face, I mean, but yeah, bro, that's.

• 1:41:19Speaker 01

  But I'm like, people have lost their minds. I mean, I get like, I hate you.

• 1:41:25Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:41:26Speaker 01

  Chuck on your own vomit, die on your sleep, click. But these cats are saying it.

• 1:41:30Speaker 02

  But I don't think they, I think it's all part of like, it's kind of, this is interesting. It's actually almost would be like a case study. If like, cause it's kind of interesting, like something happens, right? Like nobody cares that much, right? Like people do care, right? They, they're involved.

• 1:41:45Speaker 01

  I don't know.

• 1:41:45Speaker 02

  I think sometimes it's just something for people to get involved in that day, right? Because I think you have to start to think of like, or I start to think of it like this, like we used to get involved in things socially, like amongst each other. But that doesn't really happen anymore as much. So now a way to get involved in something is to create some angle or have something to say about something and just put it out there, right? Like.

• 1:42:07Speaker 01

  I think it's funny that then you have to wrap your head around the, the idea that you're happy that everybody is being this way because it's getting more notoriety. But then I'm like, well, wait, I'm not sure I'm happy about a bunch of teenagers telling a 50 year old man, he's a piece of shit songwriter.

• 1:42:34Speaker 02

  But that's what.

• 1:42:35Speaker 01

  And then I'm like, dude, you're 16. You're talking to a grown man that's made a shit ton of money doing this.

• 1:42:44Speaker 02

  But that's what they're gonna do anyway, dude.

• 1:42:46Speaker 01

  I know, but it's just so, like, it's so far out there. I'm like, if I caught my kids doing some stuff like that, I would kill them.

• 1:42:54Speaker 02

  I don't think real, right, but I think real country fans or real fans of your music and stuff.

• 1:42:58Speaker 01

  Listen, here's what I know, like.

• 1:42:59Speaker 02

  That's all, they're, they're not fucking doing that.

• 1:43:01Speaker 01

  Dude, man, I went down to, I went down to.

• 1:43:04Speaker 02

  And who gives.

• 1:43:04Speaker 01

  When I went down to watch Bo's game, they were playing that song on the speaker at the football game.

• 1:43:10Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:43:11Speaker 01

  Having a blast with it. So man, as long as I'm writing songs that like, man, these people, Theo, thought when I wrote climb tree.

• 1:43:22Speaker 01

  That I wake up, coffee, camo, put on camo.

• 1:43:28Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:43:29Speaker 01

  And I go climb a tree like.

• 1:43:31Speaker 02

  Climb tree, yeah.

• 1:43:32Speaker 01

  The nearest tree.

• 1:43:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:43:34Speaker 01

  Like the, the near, they're not understanding. So I think.

• 1:43:39Speaker 02

  I don't.

• 1:43:40Speaker 01

  Theo, they think that I'm out there climbing, like I'm bear hugging a pine tree and climbing up it.

• 1:43:47Speaker 02

  Those are people, the people are not doing well. People are not doing well, Luke. That's what I'm saying. I do, but I do.

• 1:43:54Speaker 01

  So look, like, so Bo's highlights, my son's football highlights are on something. And then I look at comments, climb tree.

• 1:44:02Speaker 02

  That's fucking good, dude.

• 1:44:04Speaker 01

  I'm like, I'm like, these idiots.

• 1:44:07Speaker 02

  Oh, bro, man.

• 1:44:08Speaker 01

  Man, so like, that's my leg tattoo, climb tree.

• 1:44:14Speaker 02

  That's good, bro. Dude, I think just anything that has like, people just create lore.

• 1:44:18Speaker 01

  They're just, I get it, but I'm just like, it's still, it's still, well, it's like.

• 1:44:25Speaker 02

  Well, people create.

• 1:44:26Speaker 01

  You wanna know why, like I worried, like I'm worried about why it's that way.

• 1:44:30Speaker 02

  Like what do you mean?

• 1:44:31Speaker 01

  You're worried about beef prices.

• 1:44:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:44:33Speaker 01

  Like I'm worried about why that, this many people are that way about me? Like in everybody, like why are they that way?

• 1:44:46Speaker 02

  I think it's just fun. I think people are just clowning right here. Who are you? Chill on the Adderall. Luke Bryan responds to video saying his new song sounds like it was written by a four year old using AI. I think it's all, I think it's all just kind of fun and games, man. Yeah. I don't think people re, I think a lot of it is, it's just like this new way of communication. And it's like, ah, it's just like, it adds just lore to the whole thing. Kind of. That's what I feel like.

• 1:45:13Speaker 01

  I know. I mean, listen, I mean, you, you gotta figure, I've, I've, I've, I've really had a long career.

• 1:45:19Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:45:19Speaker 01

  Of a lot of people doing that. I mean, when Country Girls Shake It For Me came out, there were people that.

• 1:45:27Speaker 02

  They couldn't handle it?

• 1:45:28Speaker 01

  Couldn't handle it, like.

• 1:45:29Speaker 02

  Why? Because they didn't want the women shaking it or whatever?

• 1:45:31Speaker 01

  They just didn't want, they didn't want.

• 1:45:34Speaker 02

  The women had been shaking it anyway.

• 1:45:36Speaker 01

  I mean, yeah, my mother and my parents were getting drunk, listening to Clarence Carter stroking in the house. You remember that one?

• 1:45:45Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:45:46Speaker 01

  Man, until you watch your parents sing stroking in the house.

• 1:45:50Speaker 02

  What I be doing?

• 1:45:51Speaker 01

  I be stroking.

• 1:45:52Speaker 02

  Remember that?

• 1:45:53Speaker 01

  That's, that was a night. And then they would play Mel McDaniel, Louisiana, Saturday night, right after that.

• 1:46:00Speaker 01

  So, so back to it. So I, I was like, yeah, I mean, so that kind of stuff's been going on.

• 1:46:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:46:07Speaker 01

  But then like, I almost think that, man, I don't know. You just want people to graduate from.

• 1:46:14Speaker 02

  But I think a lot, I, yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's just fun. What are people missing about the song? I guess it's just that, it's just a fun song. It's just a silly song. Who cares?

• 1:46:22Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:46:22Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:46:23Speaker 01

  I mean, I can't, what am I supposed to sing every, like, what song would you want me to sing every time? Well, most people, those people would be like, we want you to die.

• 1:46:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:46:34Speaker 01

  Like we want you to get hit in the throat by an errant fastball at the Field of Dreams when you go with Theo Von next year.

• 1:46:45Speaker 02

  Hey, that's like Simon Birch's.

• 1:46:50Speaker 01

  Did you read that book?

• 1:46:51Speaker 02

  Simon Birch?

• 1:46:52Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:46:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:46:53Speaker 01

  It's the only book I read. I mean, I read that as a kid.

• 1:46:55Speaker 02

  World According to Garp was like one of the first books I read.

• 1:46:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, I read that.

• 1:46:59Speaker 02

  But yeah, Simon Birch.

• 1:47:00Speaker 01

  I loved it.

• 1:47:00Speaker 02

  Prayer for Owen Meany?

• 1:47:01Speaker 01

  Prayer for Owen Meany.

• 1:47:03Speaker 02

  Dude, that's funny.

• 1:47:03Speaker 01

  I read another, I got into a couple of John Irvin books, but when I read A Prayer for Owen Meany. I was like, that is the greatest book I've ever read. It was, cause we had to read all the other shit that the schools want you to read. But man, when I, when I read that, like I never even got that. What was Catcher in the Rye?

• 1:47:26Speaker 02

  I don't even know.

• 1:47:27Speaker 01

  I don't even know.

• 1:47:27Speaker 02

  And that was part of that dang Field of Dreams movie, part of it. But dude, yeah, A Prayer for Owen Meany was a great book, man. And the movie's not that bad. Jim, Jim Carrey's in it. People forget about that. He's kind of in the beginning of it.

• 1:47:38Speaker 01

  Great movie, but.

• 1:47:40Speaker 02

  Yeah, that was so good. It's so funny you said that, man. Um, dude, I have a, um, I heard a rumor, this is a rumor that I heard that Jason Aldean said, you only have one American flag in your yard and then it was made in China.

• 1:47:58Speaker 01

  Oh, God.

• 1:47:59Speaker 02

  Is that true?

• 1:48:00Speaker 01

  That is not true. We, uh, we're all square. We're, we're square in the American flag world, dude. Man.

• 1:48:08Speaker 02

  Cause he said you only had one in that big old yard.

• 1:48:12Speaker 01

  When did he say that?

• 1:48:13Speaker 02

  Just telling you what I heard.

• 1:48:17Speaker 01

  Nah, Jason and I, we will have our cross to bear when I see Jason, but, uh, yeah, we're, me and, you know, we, uh, now that you say that, I do need to count up my American flags. Maybe I need to put a few more out.

• 1:48:30Speaker 02

  That's all I'm saying, dude. Just get a couple.

• 1:48:33Speaker 01

  Uh, where are yours?

• 1:48:35Speaker 02

  Uh, we got a couple out. We got at least two. We got four in the back.

• 1:48:39Speaker 01

  I got you.

• 1:48:40Speaker 02

  Around the fire pit. Uh.

• 1:48:42Speaker 01

  Is it blocking your mom's sunbathing right now?

• 1:48:46Speaker 02

  Dude, my mom.

• 1:48:47Speaker 01

  She's taking it down.

• 1:48:48Speaker 02

  Oh, she had real small breasts. I was breastfed on a small tit. And I don't know if you've ever been through that, but you never get, you never, you never escape that.

• 1:48:57Speaker 01

  Catch up.

• 1:48:58Speaker 02

  Oh, you never, oh, it's never, never enough in my mouth, you know? It's just, that's how it was, dude. If you're breastfed on a damn A cup, it's just, you can never, you never get where you need to be. Um, I wanted to ask you, uh, I wanted to ask you about something. It's just about parenting. So, uh, I heard that you had taken, you took over helping your sister's children. Is that a true story?

• 1:49:24Speaker 01

  So, my sister.

• 1:49:26Speaker 02

  And I'm not trying to pry, like a ton of that. I just wanted to know, like, about, like, what's it like when you take over, like, to help out with somebody else's kids? And what does that kind of like responsibility feel like? And then what does it feel like with, like, yeah, in relationship to, uh, like, yeah, just as like, as your family continues on, kind of, some of that?

• 1:49:44Speaker 01

  Man, you know, with, with my sister passing away and then her husband, they had three kids. And they passed away at different times, which was, man, I don't know. I don't know if it's better if they go at the same time or not. You know, you're talking about these, these, my sister and her husband were lifelong partners. From high school. He was, he was my damn hero, you know, and my brother. So, my sister went, passed away at home, and then he had like, uh, the massive widow maker heart attack.

• 1:50:21Speaker 01

  Well, they had, um, they had three beautiful children, two girls and, um, a son, uh, Jordan, Chris and Teal, Tilden. Well, Teal was 13 and he kind of, he says, he goes, uh, we kind of sat down as a big family, a extended family. Cause they, uh, my, my brother-in-law's family, they, we'd all been in each other's world from, since day one, I mean, for a long time.

• 1:50:48Speaker 02

  Got it.

• 1:50:49Speaker 01

  Very tight. Even when, uh, you know, even when my sister passed away, we were like, we were unsettled on Thanksgiving and we would go to my brother-in-law's parents' house for Thanksgiving.

• 1:51:03Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 1:51:03Speaker 01

  So they were our damn, and we were all tight. So we all sat down until my nephew goes, I want to come live with y'all. Which was just, I mean, man, we had a, we had a, I guess Tate was four, four, six, four and maybe seven, and then 13. And so my, my two boys got an older brother like that.

• 1:51:27Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 1:51:28Speaker 01

  And so he's 13. The girls were still in Georgia and they were, uh, Jordan was in her first year of college. And then our middle niece, Chris, she was in her midway through her junior year of high school.

• 1:51:42Speaker 02

  She stayed there.

• 1:51:42Speaker 01

  So she stayed there. No reason to uproot her. And Teal came to live with us and so, you know, man, we wake up and we're retrofitting, uh, we were living in our guest house while we were building, uh, our main home. So we retrofit in the bedroom and man, you know, it was a lot, you know, he, he's a 13-year-old kid that.

• 1:52:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, suddenly you had a teenager.

• 1:52:09Speaker 01

  We had a teenager and man, we've got to deal with, you know, we're, we're dealing with a new kid, but man, we're dealing with a kid that don't understand, that doesn't understand why life has went this way. And we're dealing with two other kids at a long distance. So man, you know, we've just been in the, you know, it's just kind of what you do and you learn as you go. And now, you know, fast forward, uh, the oldest Jordan, she's got two beautiful little boys. I mean, man, they're, you know, I'm gonna treat them like my grand, they're my grandbabies. And then the middle girl, Chris, she's getting married in December.

• 1:52:45Speaker 02

  Oh, nice.

• 1:52:46Speaker 01

  So we'll, you know, we're, we're, she's getting married. And Teal, my nephew, he's 24 and man, he's my damn dude. I mean, like.

• 1:52:54Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:52:55Speaker 01

  Like we, right, he comes to the house and we like get on a Polaris and go ride around and have a beer in the evening and. So, you know, and you know, I look at, you know, when you look at what my wife got, I mean, my wife went from two boys, which, uh, you know, my wife went from managing two boys to like having two older girls that she's trying to.

• 1:53:18Speaker 02

  Fit into their lives?

• 1:53:19Speaker 01

  Well, she's, she's on the phone with them and man, they're talking boys, they're talking, I mean, they're talking, what do I do with this boy? What do I do with clothes? What I do with college? Man, I mean, I remember she'd be on the phone for hours. One of them would break up, one of them be crying, one of them this. And you know, so it was really honored that we had them to turn to. And then they had a support group down and we also had a support group down there. But man, when I look at how those kids have, uh, none of them have wound up with any, any serious like stuff that we've ever had to be like.

• 1:53:57Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:53:57Speaker 01

  Get your shit together, you know? We've never had to do one of those. We just have to try to make sure they,

• 1:54:04Speaker 01

  they get the most out of life and, and understand they got dealt a, um, you know, they got dealt a weird, uh, un- unfortunate set of circumstances. And then, you know, as I've told my story through the years, I mean, man, I'll come up and there'll be families that have, they lost five people in a car wreck. I mean, you know, you, you can always create a narrative where, where you got it bad. But then you can go dig deep and you can find some other people that, that, uh, that have had unfortunate.

• 1:54:37Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah. There's always some way to be thankful in spaces, you know?

• 1:54:41Speaker 01

  Dolly Parton passed away. Look at the life she lived, 80 years old and, you know, she just lost her longtime husband, you know, heck, she probably was lost since then. I'm not trying to.

• 1:54:51Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:54:52Speaker 01

  Get into all that, but, but you know, everybody's life, I, I tell people and you've, you've already lived, I mean, just knowing your story, I mean, you've already lived through a lot with.

• 1:55:02Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:55:03Speaker 01

  Personal stuff that you conquered and stuff. Man, and, and the beauty of your, your story is you've told everybody that. So when people start, when people start going, man, I'm having a rough patch, but I remember when Theo Von said this. This is, you know, you can help people out just by telling your story and them not feeling like they're alone. And I feel like when people hear about me losing, uh, people in an unfortunate way, you know, it can help them in the long run. I think transparency. I think, you know, you know, the deal. I mean, everybody thinks they're the only one trapped in something, you know?

• 1:55:43Speaker 02

  Everybody's going through things. Yeah, you try to share what you can from it, um, to help yourself and to help others. Or not, it's not like you're trying to help others, but just, yeah, you try, yeah, we're all just trying our best to be alive, you know?

• 1:55:55Speaker 01

  Well, and I see, you know, like, God, man, I mean, I work, like, you're work, we, I know we're, we're talking about beef prices and stuff, but man, when I see, I mean, you just, just see all the stuff going on where different groups and cultures in this country are against each other. Man, it just breaks my heart. I don't know. I wish, wish there was a easy fix to make everybody just be like.

• 1:56:17Speaker 02

  Yeah, it seems like we should all.

• 1:56:18Speaker 01

  Just hug it out.

• 1:56:19Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:56:20Speaker 01

  Extreme on any side is just not good, in my opinion.

• 1:56:24Speaker 02

  Well, just as, as, as people on the planet, as just even a being of God, you feel like we, it's, we should all kind of be able to figure this out, you know? All we gotta do is just eat, drink, be alive, you know?

• 1:56:39Speaker 01

  And then just cut people some slack and.

• 1:56:43Speaker 02

  Golf. What else? I'm serious.

• 1:56:47Speaker 01

  Climb tree, baby.

• 1:56:48Speaker 02

  Climb tree.

• 1:56:49Speaker 01

  Or just go hug it. Can't you go hug a tree and get the frequencies barefooted?

• 1:56:54Speaker 02

  Dude, mine would be vape, gym, cry, think, I think.

• 1:57:02Speaker 02

  Those would be mine, dude.

• 1:57:03Speaker 01

  Wait, is it? What is it?

• 1:57:04Speaker 02

  I think it's vape, Jim.

• 1:57:06Speaker 01

  Wake up. You're vaping before you wake up?

• 1:57:10Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, vape up.

• 1:57:12Speaker 01

  Vape up, Jim time, cry. Cry. What kind of cry is it? Are they, uh?

• 1:57:21Speaker 02

  Nothing heavy.

• 1:57:23Speaker 01

  Light cry?

• 1:57:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:57:25Speaker 01

  So vape up, Jim time, cry light.

• 1:57:30Speaker 02

  Cry light.

• 1:57:31Speaker 01

  What was the last one?

• 1:57:33Speaker 02

  Think. Probably, because I just end up thinking a lot.

• 1:57:36Speaker 01

  Think less.

• 1:57:37Speaker 02

  I'd probably put pray.

• 1:57:39Speaker 01

  Pray more.

• 1:57:40Speaker 02

  There we go.

• 1:57:42Speaker 01

  See, should have had you in the room.

• 1:57:44Speaker 02

  I don't know, dude. I don't think anybody could have saved that.

• 1:57:47Speaker 01

  Vape up, Jim time.

• 1:57:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, vape up.

• 1:57:50Speaker 01

  Vape up.

• 1:57:51Speaker 02

  Jim time, light cry.

• 1:57:53Speaker 01

  Light cry.

• 1:57:54Speaker 02

  Pray more. That's not bad, man. That's not a bad, uh, you know what? I kinda.

• 1:57:59Speaker 01

  We need to have everybody do their four and submit them.

• 1:58:03Speaker 02

  People should. Now, here's what you should do. Now, you take the song and you do create some sort of a place.

• 1:58:10Speaker 01

  AI thing where everybody can go in.

• 1:58:12Speaker 02

  Some things about their life in, and now it can make.

• 1:58:15Speaker 01

  And my voice can do it.

• 1:58:17Speaker 02

  Make it for them. That's exactly what we need. Dude, thanks for the chat today, dude. And thanks for just the laughter, bro. I like, you are hilarious, dude.

• 1:58:25Speaker 01

  Well, listen, I can't, you know, it's the first time I've done this with you, and so it took me a little bit to settle in. I mean, it's funny, on podcasts historically, man, I had to settle a little bit. Like, it's a, it's a, it's a different thing with me. Cause like, you've gotta understand the, like, I've watched your stuff through all the clips and stuff. So it's like, it's so weird to come in and it just starts settling, settling, settling. And then you're like, okay, we're in it now. Now we can start busting each other's balls a little bit.

• 1:59:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:59:01Speaker 01

  But.

• 1:59:01Speaker 02

  But you're just so funny. I remember when we went fishing, you were hilarious, dude. You're hilarious, bro. People always, dude, you, you have me rolling, bro. I think you probably could have been a good comedian, man, if you had wanted to do it.

• 1:59:13Speaker 01

  You know, I've thought about, you know, I've got a little file in my phone and I've written some funny stuff. But then, man, you don't wanna go up there and not be, and then it not, it not.

• 1:59:24Speaker 02

  You'd have been fine, I think.

• 1:59:26Speaker 01

  I think, you know, what's funny is when I did Vegas.

• 1:59:28Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:59:29Speaker 01

  By that time of the show, I'd had a drink or two.

• 1:59:33Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:59:33Speaker 01

  I'm on the piano. And man, once I do get a drink and I can interact with fans on the piano, man, I can start really having fun. And I think, I think down the road, I'd love to do that vibe in Vegas. I walk out.

• 1:59:46Speaker 02

  Oh, I like that.

• 1:59:47Speaker 01

  Walk out, have a guitar, piano.

• 1:59:50Speaker 02

  Just enjoy. Well, I mean, yeah.

• 1:59:52Speaker 01

  Man, nothing makes me happier than people. Like, I friggin' love people. Like, people fascinate me.

• 2:00:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:00:01Speaker 01

  And it's fun.

• 2:00:02Speaker 02

  Well, it's what we're here for, you know, is to get to be around other people. And some of them are perverts or whatever, but the rest of them. Yeah. And even some of the perverts I'm finally.

• 2:00:11Speaker 01

  But like, were you ever like, when somebody was so mean to you, you still wanted, they were mean to you, but you still wanted to figure out how you can crack them?

• 2:00:19Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:00:20Speaker 01

  Like, what can I do to make?

• 2:00:22Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah. I mean, it's definitely fun. Yeah, like, I think, yeah, being engaged, when you're in a good mood and you get out there and you're engaged, you're engaged in what's going on in the show, it's a blast, man. I think you could have done it. I think you still could, man. And also, if you had like a Vegas type of show where you're just interacting with them, it's a perfect night, bro.

• 2:00:39Speaker 01

  That's the way to do it.

• 2:00:39Speaker 02

  That's the way to do it. You have a new album that's coming out. It's coming out September 18th.

• 2:00:43Speaker 01

  Yes. Signs and, uh, uh, Wake Up Coffee, Climb Tree, Light Jim, Pray More, that's on there. The Theo, the Theo version.

• 2:00:54Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 2:00:55Speaker 01

  We could do a, we could do an AI login, AI, put yours in there. Yeah, it comes out September 18th.

• 2:01:02Speaker 02

  Is that you in that orange shirt?

• 2:01:04Speaker 01

  That's me, baby. All polished up.

• 2:01:06Speaker 02

  That don't even look like you.

• 2:01:08Speaker 01

  What does it look like? Theo, damn it.

• 2:01:10Speaker 02

  Somebody else, I think. Are you sure that's you?

• 2:01:12Speaker 01

  It's AI. It is AI.

• 2:01:15Speaker 02

  He finally admits it. Yeah. Uh, Luke Bryan, Signs. Now, that's you on the right.

• 2:01:22Speaker 01

  Me. See, that's all, I didn't get all the wrinkles out of my damn face. What the hell? Look at that left bicep. That thing's popping.

• 2:01:30Speaker 02

  That thing's, damn, that thing is popping, boy. God, I like women. But, uh, Luke Bryan Signs, man. We'll make sure to, um.

• 2:01:40Speaker 01

  Well, thank you. I'm glad I finally got in here with you and will.

• 2:01:44Speaker 02

  Yeah, I gotta come over and fish again, man. I mean, I'll come, hopefully in the next two weeks it'll start to chill out a little bit.

• 2:01:48Speaker 01

  When it gets, gets a little cooler, they'll bite better. And man, uh, like I said, we gotta get you out of kindergarten. We're getting you.

• 2:01:57Speaker 02

  And I want chicken liver, too. That's what I wanna fish on, and McNugget.

• 2:02:01Speaker 01

  Chicken livers and McNuggets, um.

• 2:02:03Speaker 02

  And these, too.

• 2:02:05Speaker 01

  There's no, uh, there's no catfish in my pond.

• 2:02:08Speaker 02

  Really? Well, you could fish on these, though.

• 2:02:16Speaker 01

  Fish on them.

• 2:02:17Speaker 02

  Fish on them, dude.

• 2:02:23Speaker 02

  Celsius.

• 2:02:24Speaker 01

  Celsius.

• 2:02:25Speaker 02

  Um.

• 2:02:25Speaker 01

  I need a new sponsor.

• 2:02:28Speaker 02

  I bet they would work with you.

• 2:02:29Speaker 01

  Pay for my, pay for my fish bill. You need to go to my lakes down south, though.

• 2:02:34Speaker 02

  I'll go wherever, man. I just don't have nowhere to fish. We just have, I like, um, I just don't have anywhere to fish right around here, exactly. But you're.

• 2:02:41Speaker 01

  About, uh, it'd be about an hour from here.

• 2:02:43Speaker 02

  But down by home wall?

• 2:02:44Speaker 01

  But you, so he runs so damn, you run so high strung. We gotta get you in the, in the woo-sah. Just get down there. Say, I'm gonna dedicate, cause you're so big, I get it, but you, you're like me, you fish like me. When I used to get off the road and I would feel guilty that I'm fishing and I'm not with my boys. So I would go down there and I'd be like, ah, I gotta fish, I gotta fish, I gotta fish. And then I'm like, so you just need to, you just need to plan a day where you're like, you know what? This is my day. And I'm gonna fish and I'm not gonna feel like I gotta get on the phone at three for a Zoom call.

• 2:03:22Speaker 02

  Amen.

• 2:03:22Speaker 01

  And book. You just need to come out, just like, and just let it woo-sah.

• 2:03:29Speaker 02

  Dang, I didn't know you did woo-sah, dude. I'll get in there. Yeah, dude, I gotta.

• 2:03:32Speaker 01

  What was it in a?

• 2:03:34Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah. What does he do?

• 2:03:35Speaker 01
