Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yeah, what's up? You are off in God's Country with
your boys, read and and isbel Yep also known as
the Brothers Hunt, where we take a weekly drive to
the intersection of the country music and the outdoors. We
didn't actually take any drive today. We just actually Dan
did over to my house.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's the drive. But we're in our basement doing a
bro pod the lights of a blinking Christmas tree. It's
not even Thanksgiving yet.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Jordan got Jordan got excited the other night.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
We just we just busted everything out.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
I was kind of against it for a while, but
uh now I think the older I get, the more
I like enjoy seeing kids enjoy the thanks the decoracious.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yeah, my kids love it.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
That what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
I mean kids should love it. I feel like when
I think back to Christmas or Thanksgiving, I don't really
remember Thanksgiving too much, remember going to Grandmother's but I don't. Yeah, yeah,
what do you hey? What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
You forgot what you needed? The you don't been on
the podcast Sandwiches Basement Tails from the Basement.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Man, keep it man, just keep it real, keep it wrong.
Peanut butter and jelly Sandwiches are out in the garage.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
You gotta go get them in garage for Yeah, y'all
gotta go get them.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah. I remember going to grandmother's for Thanksgiving, but I
don't I remember. I remember Christmas. I remember putting on
the Christmas decorations, getting it out of the freaking attict.
That was a bear dude, still is to this day.
I'm sure we'll be over at my mom's house.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, this is how she'll do it. She'll go, Hey,
why why y'all are over here? Could you help get
those decorations down for your dad, not for her. When
I think about Thanksgving, I think about deer on. That's it.
I think. I think about bear and deer Camp. Getting
none of Grandmother's going straight to deer Camp. Yep, we're there.
It's time opening. The season of rifle opens in Tennessee.
I don't feel like I've hunted much, stay artist, neither

(02:09):
not near as much as I would have liked to.
Do you think that like I think trail cameras camera's
ruin hunting.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
I think they can.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
I think I put a lot in a trap.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, I think that's I mean, everybody does, you know?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
But okay, true, true, or false. If we had a
one forty five on trail camera in West Tennessee, would
you have hunt? Would you have made time to hunt
more this year than you have?

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I have literally have not had.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
You don't think so, you don't think you'd have been Like, dude,
I know that guy's coming in.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
My kid's been sick for My kid has been sick
for two months. They literally, both of them right now,
both of them right now have handfoot mouth. Yeah, it's tough,
and I mean, dude, you can't what you're gonna do.
You're gonna leave your wife on a weekend.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
No, you're not.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
And I feel like the time we have had to hunt,
we've been on hunting trips, like we've been to Kansas once.
I just got back from New Mexico on the ELK Coment. So,
I mean, I really don't. And that's just a part
of that's a part of being a dad and a
part of a part of taking on more responsibility is

(03:25):
it's not being able, it's not being able to go
as much.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Well, it's like shutting it. Being a dad's easy. Being
a good dad's really hard. So if it's harder, then
you're doing the right thing. Because it's supposed to be hard. Yeah,
because if it's not hard, you haven't died to yourself yet,
you're still selfish.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah. Man, we used to burn it down, though, I
mean I think also, yeah, we used to burn it down.
Did I see these kids still burning it down like
we used to?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Makes me happy when I when I hear about Dylan
Marlow driving like eighteen hours to hunt thirty acres on
this one guy's ground to kill a turkey with his buddy, I'm.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Like, yeah, well that's he's about half twins. So I
told him that I should say, see I hope I
hope it see it. Yeah, it's a big deal on camera, man,
big deer man. I think also too, I think hunting
the Midwest regularly and looking at those truck changes the game.

(04:26):
No for a Southern hunter, doubt dude, because it just
even with Dad, Dude, even with Dad that since Dad's
been to the Midwest and this is only his second season,
but now he's killed a giant out there.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
It's hard to come back and get really excited.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
But I'll tell you what's getting him excited. Graham's coming
in today and Graham wants to go so dude, he.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
I mean there's a line of I mean we're probably
three years out I mean from our kids legitimately wanting
to go. Well, you're probably a little farther than that.
I mean maybe Griffin, Griffin, Griffel, Griffle. Are you talking
about Laza, No me, Liza's I mean she'll go. She's like,
she's not a shoot a deer, you know what I mean,
She's just not She said, She's like, Daddy, I want

(05:09):
to shoot a turkey. I'm like, great, we'll shoot a turkey.
But it may be a little longer. Boone wants to
shoot a deer today. Yeah, he's ready to shoot a
deer and today. So I think him, excuse me, him
being three, I think we probably have five years before

(05:31):
it's like, I mean, he's gonna be wanting to go
every day from now on. But I say five years
before he's like sitting in the stand with me legitimately like, yeah,
eight years, eight years, I.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Think eight that's when I kill my first dear.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
You sit in the lab and I barely I mean
I remember it, but I barely remember it, really, you know,
Like I mean I remember, I don't remember the day.
I remember actually sitting in that I might have been
asleep and seeing the deer and shooting the deer and
then walking up on the deer.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah. I hate to say it, but I feel myself
kind of becoming like a Midwest hunter a little bit
in the sense of, like now these like there's been
four or five deer coming on camera at my place
that like normally I'd have been like, oh, we need
to get eyes on that buck, and I'm not now,
I'm just like, man, save it. Let's just save it

(06:24):
for if Graham wants to shoot one or Dean wants
to shoot one.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Man, yeah, or let's just see if he'll let's just
see yeah, cause you see. And that's the difference too,
about about like looking at at Kansas trail camera pictures
every night, like Midwest trail camera pictures every night in
a state that has managed to the absolute nines, you

(06:47):
see what deer are, and once it's a different it's
it's pretty much a different genetic out there. But you
see what deer are at seven and eight years old, we.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Can and well, you ain't even going to get to
see what a deer is here at seventy eight.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
That's what I'm saying. But it drives you to if
you see a four year old that's one hundred and
thirty inches here, Yes, ten year old, that's one hundred
and forty inches, You're like, man, I mean, up until
this point, that's a note, that's a no doubter, it's
a no doubt shooter.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, it's changed the game for sure.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
And now you know, and if it doesn't change the
game for you, that's totally fine. But I think it's
just a personal thing that Yeah, that's kind of where
I'm at. You know, I want to go hunt old
deer man, and I want to I want to see
how even in Tennessee and.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I yeah, no doubt if I had a five six
seven year old deer walking around, yeah, yeah, regardless of
what's on his head.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah. I think that's the main thing is the age
class has just completely because I mean you look at okay,
look at that bottom land bow. Dude, that ten point
that you killed right there. Yeah, that's as basically as
big as they come.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Think that's prime.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
That's what I'm saying. Five six years old, but that's
about as big as they get down here, dude. Now,
how old do you think that dear is which one
the Kansas? But from last year at least seven maybe eight.
I mean, just a completely different.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Look at them. You can just tell it in their cape.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
It doesn't even look like the same animal. Honestly, Midwest
year to Southern deer's it's a different deal. Yeah, it's
a different deal. All that to say, trail cameras, I
feel like I've become very dependent upon.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
It's also easy to become dependent on them when you
don't have time to hunt. I guess that's what I mean, Like,
when I don't have time, just go there and try
it right right shine and be like what, yeah, you
left me here with three kids, one screaming. I still
don't know that I believe in the I mean, I
don't think you get every deer. I don't. I don't
think you get every deer on your property one thousand

(08:44):
acre property.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Well, it depends on who many cameras.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well, we got a bunch, That's what I'm saying, and
so covert. So what I'm saying is I think we
get pretty dann close because we see a lot of
the same deer, a lot a lot of those bucks,
a lot of the like those bucks are showing up
in Bucky areas, and that's what it's. It's historically where
we've always.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Had big deer, old deer from last year.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, and when I've got cameras all over them and
I want, I don't. I don't buy the myth that
they know they're there. I don't buy the the the
argument that they're putting the cell phone cameras put out
and uh, weird something on the ground that's electrical that field.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Somebody's saying that.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah, there's some like I don't I don't feel like
any of that because Midwest, there's freaking bucks two hundred
inch deer stepping in front of the cameras all day long.
Well I don't know if I don't know about all
day long. But I'm just saying I not our cameras.
I think I think we know. I think we know
what deer are on there. Now, there's a couple that

(09:50):
I would I would probably shoot if I got in
front of them. I'm not dying to go down their home.
But I also think which is the great thing about
trail cameras.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Too, Yeah, clear which which trail cameras are talking about?
You're talking about on Western You got to clarify.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, like that, butter, baby be clarified. What's clarified?

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Butter? I think it has a different smoke point.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
I was looking for high temp cheese of the day
and couldn't find.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
It's hard to find.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
The only place I got it's Bastro. But yeah, with
all that being said, it's November twenty first, and the
rut has probably is happening, has already happened, kind of
locked down post rut thing in Midwest. We're just I
think we're just getting into it. I don't think it's

(10:41):
happened right where we're at in south and southern southwest Tennessee.
Maybe it's going on midle Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
That where we live.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
But it's about to be the best. Uh, it's about
to be the best couple of weeks of hunting that
we've had. Yeah, and we don't have time. Both the
kids have half the mouth.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Man, My kids are actually yeah leaves would kids are
actually functioning.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
They're about to go to Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
But listen to this. The problem we have is it's
almost like having a sick kid because we have a
one year old that just walks to your feet and
goes I mean about everything, dude. If he's not sleeping,
he's screaming, or he's opening to get pods and pans.
He smashed a dish of the day glasses all over
the floor. He's just a smasher right now. Man, just smasher.

(11:30):
And it's gross outside, so you can't like really run them. Yeah,
wear them out dogs and going nuts because it's inside
everything's just nuts. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
I feel like we went to New Mexico and it
was kind of like follish, like leaves and colors and stuff.
We got back from New Mexico and it was winter
hot winter. Yeah, like good trip though, killed a couple
of gray bulls.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, we were lucky enough to go hunting out there,
got invited.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
And uh got a bunch of vortex stuff.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Got thanks for shoutout Vortex, shout out for text and
we got to shoot him elk and it was uh incredible.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
I had the stomach virus.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
I guess we should lead with how this started. So
we fly in, get our truck, drive in to the
ranch and me and read a bit on a bit
of a health kick lately, just cleaning it up, trying
to stay alive, and we swung by McDonald's and did
some some slack wraps.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Dude snack rabs, and you went rogue and got a
you were like a twenty piece, thirty You ordered a
thirty piece nug I think it was thirty Yeah, split them,
split them, and I don't think they have thirty piece.
I think we got a twenty piece at McDonald's and
then Chick fil a later on we got a thirty piece.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
All the way back. On the way back, that's right,
So I was just yeah, So Raid's like, oh, dude,
my guts is kind of tripping, and I was like, dude.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Something small awful.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
I don't think it was that though, because it's kind
of stunked the rest of the tree even stuck. On
the way home, I felt like, but it might have
just been.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
You could have been me.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Reed's guts turned over, and he and.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
I was kind of laughing about it then, like on
the drive to the wrench, I was kind of laughing
about it, like, dude, what if I mean, like, what
if I got the stormy virus?

Speaker 2 (13:19):
You were not laughing about it. Twenty four hours later.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Twenty four hours later, I shot, I shot my bull,
Me and damn played paper Rock scissors. Thank goodness. He
let me go first.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
I actually won, and then let Reid go first, and
old Dad gone. If the first bridge we didn't walk over,
there's a three hundred and twenty something mench bull anger
and rikers like, bro, don't we don't pass them out here?

Speaker 1 (13:42):
He's like, I know, it's the first morning. He was like,
but sorry, He's like, we ain't hit very much, but
that's a that's a shooter bull right there.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
So relay's gun down, tap to have tower three.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Or four count three or four? It put shot three
times too, too, Okay, just a little back on the
front one, he would still would have died. Dumped him
on the second one and then had to Yeah, some
tough dude, to my goodness.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Animals tough animals.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
I have two things. Two animals I've seen that like
art have been like that so far? Is that Moost
in Maine and that elk ten year elk oh, My goodness.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Talk about what Riker was saying as far as like
the lung how much longer it takes the lungs to
fill up?

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, he was just saying that Ricker Graham Graham's guide
service shutout guys, unbelievable. Him and Joseph's dad so awesome. Yeah,
they're they're killers, salt of the earth.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Also, great dudes.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Great dudes. Riker has worked with some some people from Nationville,
some of our buddies, uh out there in the West.
He's kind of like, they're kind of the guys in
in that Ruby do so high country, high desert country
elk hunting out there.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Should a buddy hunt with our old boy Brian mclray. Yeah,
be Mack had a lot of fun anyway, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, but what Riker was saying is that their lungs
are so big. And listen, we don't know nothing. I
really don't know anything about elk, nothing like compared to
what these guys do. But he said their lungs are
so big that one, it takes longer for for their
lungs to fill up and start start bleeding at.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
All, as opposed to whitetail, which is like kind of instant.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, and two, they just have that much more capacity
to breathe after a bullet goes through. And and they
can just live, man, they can live. They can live
a lot longer than than what we're used to. And yeah,
that was uh, but that was that was insane. Man.
Rikers sat the gun down. It was like, I was like,

(15:36):
are we about to do this? He's like, yeah, man,
that's you don't shoot. You don't pass that bull up. Luckily,
you know a couple of good shots bulls on the ground.
We went and celebrated court him out, getting back to
the getting back.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
To the lodge, and then you just went down.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
And I ate breakfast. And then that's when, like.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
I remember you saying it that it was nine o'clock, yeah,
and you said, picures, just go that down for a minute.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, I apologize everybody.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
You barely came out of that room for the next
three days, I remember.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
I mean, there's like a fever dream. Dudes, like that
freaking run.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
What you doing there? Were you watching it?

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Trying to sleep? No? I didn't watch anything. The only
thing I watched was the Kentucky game, the Kentucky Louis game.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
That last night. You're just in there chilling, dude. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
I would lay in the bed because my thought was
just like hydrate and rest, that's all you can do.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
And you also didn't want to give I didn't want
to get anybody else sick. The first day, we didn't know,
you know, these dudes in the camp, and so I
was very open everybody like, hey, I would love to
be out here hanging, but I can't anyway. I mean, dude,
I would lay in the bed and sleep if I could,
or I mean just about every I mean it was
about every fifteen minutes I was. I was up on

(16:52):
on my throne, full throttle. Oh bro, they want no breaks,
no all slow and breaks, and so yeah, that was
my I mean literally I got to hang out with
them a couple of times. Man, I missed the ribby dinner.

(17:12):
I got to eat the roast and then I ate
that for lunch. One day, I ate one piece of
Elk summer sausage and I thought it was a bad idea.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah I thought I was getting it, but it was
just the hash chilies.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
It's kind of crazy. That was. That was a crazy week.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
So all that's say. I shot my ilk on Wednesday
and we were like, man, we got some sick kids
at home. If it's cool, you guys, we gotta we
gotta take off. And they're like, absolutely totally understand. So
instead of flying back on Saturday, we decided to man

(17:51):
up and take the rental all the way back to
Nashville seventeen and a half hours. So when we left
Thursday morning, uh, Thursday lunch ish, we just do We
just hammered down, and it was every forty five minutes
Reid was having to pull over, and so it took

(18:12):
us forever to make it out of New Mexico, and
then forever for us to get across Texas, and then
we finally made it to Fort Smith, Arkansas, but not
before going to a Dollar General for Reid to go
in and him leaving his phone in the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
I mean, I noticed it pretty quick. I was already
I noticed it pretty quol.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
I was already mad enough to you through nails.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Meanwhile, we had four Coma coolers in the back of
the truil full of meat and capes. And then we
had two elk kids, elk kids, elk cap Yeah, antler's
sitting in the back our caps.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
So every time we would go in, there'd be a
guy walk up to the driver and be like. He
would like point to the back and be like, and
do the eyes thing that I'm looking at you think, Yeah,
he was like, he would point to the elk and
then do I thing I be. So I open the
door and I go, man, great, great, Oh you guys
got back here.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
You guys got a couple of dandies.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Can you tell me the story on him? Like, well,
my brother's in the bathroom and he takes forever. So
how much time you got? And then I promise you
at that Amaco, there were three at the three was
the most in one stop was three And then something
a light bulb went off and you got you did
gas X and.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah we were chat GPT and some stuff and and
stopped and stopped calling doctors and started chat GPT in.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
All right, let's talk about this. We got into a
conversation with Reid's wife about chat GPT because his voice,
his chat GPT voice was a female and she made you.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Change in yeah, because you you did it. We did
it so much that trip on that seventeen and a
half hours coming home.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Fun. Yeah, here's the here's the lest knowledge. Here's the
funny thing about chat GPT. You can be going on
the road and you can say, hey, chat just.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
See something inside the road, wonder about it and ask
them about it totally, and they will tell you exactly
what it is, why it.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Is you're fifteen minutes from area fifty one, it should
be it'll be on your left here in ten minutes.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah, okay, And especially what's the deal with aliens? Like
do you chudge? You can give me, give me factual
information about why they're here on this and it.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Will she pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, And so we did it so much, and yours
was a yours is a female, yeah, and and it
just sounded like talking to somebody, And so I set
mine up, go through the voices, pick one. Get back home.
That night, I mean, we're laying in bed and Jordan
asked me a question. She's like, so where we're like,
what's over there?

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Whatever?

Speaker 1 (20:47):
And I was like, I don't really know. I was like, oh,
hold on, I just asked chat gubt pulled it up.
I was like, hey, whatever you got out and she
was like she's like yeah, so the chatgut was, so
the deal with this is and she started talking and
it got done and I looked at you and I
was like, ain't that crazy. She was like, you gotta
change your voice.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
She got jealous.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
I was like what she was like, is there a
way we can make your chat voice not sound like
a hot chick. See I think.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
That's checked up, because how do you know that Chad
Giput's not four and eighty pounds?

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Could?

Speaker 2 (21:23):
I mean, okay, if it is totally fine, that's what
I'm saying. But I mean, she kept saying, sounds like
a smoking hot chick. I'm like, what does the smoking
hot chick sound like?

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah? I guess that.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
So anyway, now he's it's Arbor, it is his name,
and he's from Australia. So you're gay now Nope, still straight,
just got a new buddy, Arbor.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Okay, Well why couldn't that be the thing?

Speaker 1 (21:52):
The thing what she was saying? And I said, why
don't you want me to change it? And she was like,
there are there are tons of stories of people no
way having but see here's yeah having relational vocal relational
what vocal relationships with their tragy. This is the dumbest
thing I've ever heard. I'm just saying. I said, so,
wait a second.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
You're saying it's ridiculous for people to be falling in
love with the robot and she was yes. I said,
well it's equally as ridiculous for you to be jealous
of a robot. She said, what are you talking about,
jessel ros Like, you made him change the voice. If
you're telling him to change the voice of the robot, I.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Mean, it is dumb, but I get it. I don't
get it, I get it. I mean yeah, I mean
obviously I wouldn't be like.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
You were, like, yeah, what you were into whatever your
chagytchi was.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
No, I was just saying, I can see where a
way less strong individual. Oh no, someone who loves his
love wife so much. And I mean, I can just
see where crazy people would start companionship talk to him
too much. Yeah, I could say that, and and it
become a it become a thing. And I guess if

(23:04):
you don't have a significant other to talk there's probably
a bunch of four year old dudes in their basement
and never talked to girls before. That's what That's what
she was saying too. She was like, yeah, this like
hot chick voice telling you about lifters and cams on
your under the hood, on your f one fit or
your Silverado.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
She was like, pretty soft, No chick knows about liftric.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Your chick on chatgyt does.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
So.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
I think that's the argument.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
By the way, I don't know anything about liftric skims.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
I don't. I know mine are pitting out and I
got to put a new engine.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
In my truck. Oh man, you've been in some engine troubles, dude.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
I got both both my kids have hand foot mouth,
and both my trucks are in the same shop.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
You're in the valley, all right, I'm in the valley.
Sometimes you're in the valley.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
A final advantage that will cover this hemorrhaging of money
that I'm putting into these vehicles there, you know, Yeah, got.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
My further back. Hopefully that's try. Hopefully Travis is that
bandage dude. Hopefully he fixes them up and you're done.
You don't ever have to spend money on them again.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
I think this is just the beginning for the Tacoma.
But but yeah, hopefully with the Silverado. Dude, let's get
into this for a second. We're not sponsored by any
of these people. There was one hundred thousand mile warranty
on that truck I have. I got one twelve on it.
Engine bozzoe.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
So what they said it blew up.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
I mean the lifters and cams are pitting out, which means.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
It's sticky in there.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
It's it's it's getting shavy, so like some metal, some
metal shavings could have getting gotten down into the block
of the engine, and so they could go in and
fix the lifters and cams, but that would be met there.
There might be metal and you never know about it.
So you've got to go ahead. And it's about the
same price to just replace the engine.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Replace it or start overs.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
The lifters and cams. So yeah, I gotta getting it deleted, dude.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, it's a little if that's.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
Illegal, I don't think it isn't here.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
What, No, it's not where we live.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
If you're in Davison County, you'd have to pass an
emissions test, which deleted engines won't pass.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, but I thought that was like only diesels because
of the death fluid. No, it's it's gas too. Yeah,
it's gas too, because it's not just about death, it's
about the limitations that the the dealership, like the maker
of Chevies have to put on those engines to meet
e p A emissions. Sounds pretty smart of it, so

(25:29):
pretty that's where I learned it from. No, I had
to change it, man, I guess so I had to
change it.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
That's weird.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah, dude, people you go through valleys every now and then. Man,
when it rains, the pores and it's poor and dude,
I ain't gonna lie. I was, I was, I got
down about it all. But then you're just like, man,
my kids are healthy kind of Uh, it's it's the holidays, man,
we're we're blessed. God's got our.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Backs, got roof of your head.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
I want to walk through fire that won't burn me though,
guys got my back, shad racked me, shackle bend to god.
Oh who said that black? That's pretty slick.

Speaker 2 (26:09):

guy's got my back, shad racked me, shackle bed non go.

Speaker 2 (26:16):

c M as he's getting a look in that country game.

Speaker 2 (26:25):

the side, a lot of rings and necklaces.

like RGI. Oh yeah, it was right here, dude. There's
some pictures going around really yeah.

city part of the thing, dude. I mean zyders probably
didn't have a shirt on.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
The Have you seen the poster is electric? Literally electric.
It's it's a little who putting out Greek god vibes.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Hey, man, he's probably sitting at like three or four
percent body for at this point.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
I mean, I'm just saying, all right, I'm just saying,
I don't know. I don't know Warren. I don't know
that guy.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
I don't either.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
But when when you are what's.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
The song somethingout lining? Strike lad?

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Oh? Really I don't know either. I'm just gonna say it, dude,
be careful, worn, okay, be careful.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
About what.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Bro, you're you. I feel like you're walking on some
thin ice when you're when you're putting your when you're
poster for your upcoming tour, is you at the top
of it? Over everything. You're at the very top of
the poster. You've got your shirt off and your your
muscle you have defined tuned up your muscles on the picture.

(28:37):
Not hating on that, but you are holding a lightning
bolt above your head.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
You mean you think you're kind of.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
You're kind of. I think I think you're gabbling with
some with some. I think you're at a spot at
that point where no human being is supposed to be.
I don't think you're supposed to look at yourself that way.
Oh you're saying he's a little veiny literally and figured
it mm hmm, little too veiny, maybe a little too veiny.
I just I just feel like he's just feeling himself

(29:05):
too much. Dude, Okay, I'm just feeling I feeling. I'm
not even talking about countrymans, I'm talking about life, bro.
Like it's not well, it's not good for you. It's
not good for a human being to feel like to
look at themselves on a poster and they're holding up
a lightning bolt with their shirt off above everybody else.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Man.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah, yeah, now listen, cut my songs. I don't holler
at me to write I do it. I'm just saying,
be careful, bro, dude, you.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Would tell me to be careful if I was being unruly.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
It's not even hate dude, it's not even He'll.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Be fine in country music. I think he'll he'll sell
tickets for a little bit, I guess. But like I'm
just talking about, for your life, dude, for your personal everybody.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Everybody be careful to check.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
You got to check people.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
And maybe he maybe he didn't even have anything to
do with that poster. Maybe somebody else kind of improved it.
It was like, this is what we're going with. You're
on my record label, and this is what we're going with.
We're selling we're selling sex.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
If he didn't he had to okay it.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Maybe he did. Maybe did. I don't know. I'm just
saying I.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Don't think even more so if you weren't a part
of making that poster, be careful.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Okay, Yeah, I don't think you're wrong anyway, the prociety
let me have it off on there. He probably just
killed that chance. Uh. A lot of dvs at the
seat at the BMIs, the CMAS, a lot of d vs.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
You got to go to the BMI's and watch Clint
Bike be honored. That was awesome.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
How do you feel I thought about this sitting there
at the BMS. How do you feel if they're like,
you know, our tables like me, you and Jamie, our
wives were chilling. If there was a.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Table, shout out Jason there, he was there too.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
J JM. That's right, Uh, guy for that one an award,
proud of That's right, Katino big time? Okay at from
Parmerly for a second. Really, if there if there was
one table up next to the stage where they could
see everything, watch it going on, and it was freaking
Merle Willie, Johnny Cash, Hank.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
What would they have had issues with?

Speaker 1 (31:14):
What would they have thought?

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Songwriter the year?

Speaker 1 (31:18):
One thousand percent? It was a thousand percent on that. Yeah,
I'm just talking about the garb and the get up
of some of these cats.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Well, I'm gonna say it was and it wasn't even
this year, but I think it was last year or
year before last.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
And if you don't know what we're talking about, we're
talking about the BMI Awards, which is broadcast music. Yeah,
it's a song it's a songwriter award event in town.
There's there's three big one Ce Sack as captain BMI's
we're part of the BMI.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
BMI is kind of a private deal, like it's it's
not there's not fans and like sold tickets. You have
to be invited. It's very prestigious. I didn't even know this.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yeah, you do do some history on it, and it's
a pretty prestigious event. Like I mean, red carpet. Everybody's
into it, everybod and susan time. Most people you should be.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, so I think, man, I mean like there was
a certain female that wore a like revealing dress, right
and the dress was most revealing from the back, Okay,

(32:22):
I really remember so when she got up to accept
her award. When she got up to accept her award,
there were a few like whoa eight, like there was
some stuff going on, and she turned around and just

(32:46):
broad swept a mean look to like the crowd as
it was going down. And I remember thinking, like, dude,
you don't get to do that. Yeah, if you know
you're wearing that and you're choosing to wear whatever you're

(33:06):
going to wear to gain, to get attention, or whatever
you're doing it for. Maybe it's an expression of you
as a woman.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
No, it's not.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Whatever it is. Yeah, you can't be mad at how
people react to it.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
You know what. I think it is?

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Insecurity. Yeah, it's insecurity, which is wild to me. And
I feel sorry for those people. Dude, I feel sorry
for those people that. I mean, we saw it this year,
like you're just completely like, it's just for attention, dude.
There's a lot of only for attention. Some of these

(33:44):
people we've known forever and you're just like you walk
in and they're like, what's what's up? And you're like,
what's up with you? You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
I mean, I thought the funniest thing so so a
really funny thing happened somehow.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
I feel sorry for the people.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
I got a ticket when we checked in, they handed
me a ticket for the red carpet and it said
dan Isbell Red Carpet and I was like, oh, ma'am,
I'm not doing the red carpet. And jumps Read's wife
said something really really funny. She said, Hey, if you
want to do this, I'll go with you need somebody
to go before you. And hey, this is Dan is

(34:22):
Well he's written this blah blah blah. And I was like, Jumps,
I'm not doing it. And she goes, yeah, what am
I gonna say? Dan? What are you wearing tonight? And
she goes Dillard's the spring line from Dillard's Freaking.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Big and toss the same thing I've won the last
three years.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
All laughed so hard when she said that. It was
so funny because this is true. It's just like, I
don't know, man, there's people there in sweatsuits. There's people
there too.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
I mean it could go either way, which I think
the guy's in sweatsuits. Yeah, get out of here, especially
if you're winning song Rut of the Year. Bro, a
little respect out, have a little respect for sure, but
you ain't got a you know.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Or at least I don't know. Maybe keep your hood down.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Yeah, don't say that. Don't say the F word so much.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
May eleven o'clock at night.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, because especially because you haven't had them on the
all night. Yeah, it was almost like in the hood up.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
It's almost like you got ready.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
For he did, and he was like and it was
kind of disrespectful. The speech was kind of disrepectful for
two country music and to songwriters.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Felt a little slides.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
But holler at me for that next record.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
No doubt, I love your work.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
I got some ideas for you.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Oh dude, I ray cut this out. Just cut it out.
Whenever you hear this, oh god or dumb dude whatever,
Maybe this is maybe the basement is just unfiltered.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Yeah, because it feels like it's not like you feel
like you can get a waste for some stuff. Because
we're with some stuff, because nobody's watching. It's just me
and you down here and.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
A Christmas and a blanket ass Christmas tree. Yeah, I
think it's blanket boy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Uh hey, I think we uh we touched elk. We
got we got some questions for some from some fans.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
We should talk about how long it took us to
process the elk though, and retroster talk about processing that out.
And so you know, me and reader mega cheap and
I always look for a marketplace deal or something like that. Well,
this made the most sense for us to.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Should I buy tires on marketplace or just go to
tire discount and get them?

Speaker 2 (36:24):
I think it depends. Man, they're expensive, dude.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Yeah, these are pretty good ones for a good deal.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
They always are, so we get that. We decided we
were going to save ourselves six eight grand by driving everything.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Home, which is insane, that's how much.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Yeah, and we did. We saved it, dang.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Right, driving everything home and processing it ourselves.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
But but let me ask you this, if you had
the chance to.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
See still spend a lot of money and just drove
it on, I.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Know, but if you had the chance to do it
over a year, would you leave it there and ship
it or would you bring home? It was fun for
a while, I'd bring it home. It was fun for
a while. But then the last day and a half
was straight work.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
When we ran out of gas.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
I'm sorry, dude, that's on me.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Thirty minutes from home and we pulled over on the
side of the road and had to call Dad and
he was fifty minutes away from us. I would have
taken it back then the drive Yeah, and then literally
that's the only time. And then I would that last
day when we were when we were sausage making breakfast
sausage and my back was killing me. My hands were numb,

(37:26):
and like.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Kids are starting to get sick.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
Yeah, I would have taken it back then. But the
other eighty five percent of it, Yeah, it was fun.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
For a good story.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
It's fun.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
But man, there is a lot of meat on elk.
I mean a lot of silver skin.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Yeah. And honestly, dude, I hope we never. I don't
care how much money we make, Like, I hope we never.
Just don't do that stuff because we don't feel like it.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Well, I think we're too cheap too. I think we're
way too cheap to like that's three days we got
to hang out with dad. That's fun.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
And like he was soapomped. He went to bass pro,
got us a grinder.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Oh man, went to save it. I got some beef,
fat be.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Fast, set all that up, took a bunch of that
meat home.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
You remember when he stepped out of the thing. I said,
look how fired up he is. I was like watching this.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
We got out of his trusle and we were both
me and you were both like, oh, it's another day.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
He got out and I was like, well, say granny,
He's like, well, say, boys, got some elk meat for you.
He had gotten up early fried elk that we had
processed the day before.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
And tony side and a tony side with biscuits in
the middle.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
And I'm gonna tell you, dude, I ate both sides. Dude,
I played both sides of the I cannot quit, dude.
I know y'all know I can't quit.

Speaker 1 (38:44):

I because well, because I had already had, I had
a I had a pola eggs every morning. Now I
tried to eat like six ecs just because it fills
you up. It really does.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
What also levels you up for the rest of the day,
so that in.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
A few turkey sausages, I did not have breakfast something
and he, dude, that's the probably dude. If he would
have rolled up with that and no breakfast, I'd ate
every piece and every biscuit. I'd ate eight biscuits and
sixteen pieces of Dear Frida.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
I'm telling you, Fried minced anything. It don't matter if
it was getting it perfect, dude, dude, I mean, he's
a pro man. If he'd had a pottle of gravy,
I made it, not made it through that day, I'm
telling you, dude.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
He was also like shout out Dad for being I
feel like when if me and you can get down
about some stuff, it just takes that one Okay, I'll
say this if me or you, and I'm just talking
from personal experience. If like I'm down about something, all
it takes is you being like, hey, dude, let's go. Man,

always pretty up picking pick up. He's a he's a
pick up guy. Yeah. Even like a day after, I
was still hurting and exist.

Speaker 2 (40:09):

What do you think you got your boys? You got
anybody to gun?

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Yet? They got NERF guns, And I think that's the
way to do it, man Nerf and tur like. I
think I think getting them around around guns and and
early is the better.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Yeah, but it's also can they handle Can they handle it? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (43:09):
Well yeah, I mean a nerve gun, yes, oh for
three year gun. So like, literally where we're sitting is
in my basement, and we've got a TV, a big
TV on the wall, and we'll be down here and
they'll get their nerve guns back there, and I'll pull
up Deer Hunting on the TV and and pause it
when a deer is like full screen, and we'll just
shoot at that deer and they love it. And I

(43:30):
was talking to Dad about today because I just I
suppressed the twenty two and we were shooting it this morning.
And that's a that's gonna be a great gun for
a kid to learn on, because it's I mean, it's
that's it. But yeah, I think I think a pellet
gun a BB gun, And that's what Dad was saying.
Dad was like, don't like make sure they know that

(43:52):
that's not a pellet gun. That's not a BB gun,
a twenty two rifle. You know when you're when you're
doing that. But I think a BB gun for a
for a five year old, if they've been around it,
if they've been outside, if they know how to handle
things with you know, some kind of care, I wouldn't
be scared of that. I can't wait to get my.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
Five is five ft of fils early for a baby gun.
As far as like just taking off in the woods,
sure they're with you, Sure.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
We do, right, that's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Probably don't kill you, but I yeah, but probably don't
kill you so you'll be all right.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Uh so it was.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
I mean I remember getting my first gun at thirteen.
I was thirteen years old. I got a two forty three,
and I remember.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
When'd you start? When did you shoot your first year? Though?

Speaker 2 (44:33):
As far as I buy myself out of a stand, no,
I mean, I get I think that's first dear dude,
I'm be honest with you. I get that, like you
get to pop into your dad's lap and shoot one
with him holding the thing. And I'm not I'm not
hating on that. That's a wonderful thing. But I don't
really qualify that as my first dear. Yeah, I'm my
first dear. I was thirteen years old in that boss,

(44:56):
blind by myself. I wanted to kill a big buck
and a three year old eight point walked out with
an eighteen or seventeen inch spread. When I think about
my first dear, and I probably shot some dose.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Is that that one? No, I don't hear anything. No
that deer.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Oh no, no, no, no, he's I got in my house.
I know I've got the rackle, but it's a what
I'm saying, is he was? I mean I was thirteen.
There's little single sixer. Yeah, I kind of remember that there.
Yeah uh but man, you remember I had the Garth
Brooks had set on.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
That was like the That was it, man, that was
my first thing. I was thirteen to shot it with
a two forty three. I felt good about it. Still
feel good about it. And so I bought my son
at two forty three. But I haven't given it. He
don't even know he has. It's just sitting in the safe.
And he'll get that when he's able to sit by himself,
and I know he can handle it.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
That's gonna be wild.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
It's gonna be wild.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
There's gonna be plenty of there'na be plenty of shooting,
plenty of me watching them reload, me watching them carry
a gun, meet all of that before ever thinking about,
and honestly too, when I do put them in the
blind for them for themselves for the first time with
a gun, I'll probably tell them, all right, I'm gonna
go hunt, but I'm gonna go sit behind a tree.

Speaker 2 (46:08):

that we know of, No chance, dude, he was looking
