to calm down, has it ever been calmed down by
being told to calm down.

Speaker 6 (03:41):
Here's one that pairs well out a party.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
It's in the.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Arego story from our good buddy already.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
I'll try to keep it to the cliff notes.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
No, don't we got time go for so make it.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
Good hunter Phelps again. It's like one of my best
friends in Nashville, all right at all, and he's my
big airhead hunting buddy. So this particular time, it was
two years ago, I guess at this point, I had
COVID two years ago on Christmas, so I didn't get
to go do christ my family, but I wasn't really
sick and it was warm, and I went and found
one on Christmas Day you can. But anyway, so we're
(04:17):
hitting all these bank spots and we're doing all this stuff,
and we're finding a couple, and it's getting dark and
we get to this one spot we've never been to before.
A hunter goes this way and I go this way.
I go down here. I find a big, beautiful arrowhead.
And what's big, like not the size of your hand,
but like pretty you know what I mean, my whole hand. Yeah,
I found a good one, one of the best ones
(04:39):
I've ever found. Looked like a big leaf.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
So is this Is this a hunting arrowhead or is
this like a working arrow?
Speaker 7 (04:44):
More than likely a knife. They call them all arrowheads,
but most of them were like knives and spearheads. Only
the really small ones are actual arrowheads. And that didn't
come until like the Woodland period, which was like way
they didn't start hlting my bows until way later, way later,
thousands of years after you would think, I mean, it's
getting real dark. And Hunter comes back and he's like,
(05:04):
you have to come with me right now. I have
to show you something. And I walk with him down
the bank to his spot that he went and pictured
like a wall and it's regular gray or not gray
brown dirt. And then there's a spot probably like the
width of this wall that's just black and gray, and
there's flint and animal bones and pottery just like pouring
(05:29):
out of this bank. Really it was a campsite and
we were the first people to find it.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
How old was this campsite? In your in your brain?
I mean, do you think, I guess.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Three four thousand years?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's sick, maybe older, that's crazy. That's really cool already, Yeah,
I mean that's cool to find something.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
First people to find it. It was I mean, we had
to have been because we found so many, so many artifacts.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Right there, you know what you had found? Yeah, Okay, so.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
We start and stuff and uh didn't think anything about it.
I go home and before I go any further, there's
there's no no facts really that that point directly to this.
But it's the only thing that can explain what I'm
about to tell. So it's it's all like jumbled. But
(06:22):
I woke up one morning and it took like two weeks,
but I woke up one morning.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Did you brought something back from that?
Speaker 7 (06:27):
I brought like two or three ERA heads back and uh,
I woke up one morning and like all the lights
were on in my house. And I lived in a
house at the time in Joelton. And when I say
the middle of nowhere, you could not see it from
a helicopter. Dude, it was in my heart.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
It was.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
My driveway was like a mile, like a three quarters
of a mile long. It went through these hardwoods and
these hills and then you just my it was like
a kind of a Gatlinburg style cabin.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
It's awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, you still have that place. I said, you're gonna
keep that? And you said, have you met my wife.
That's literally what you said to me. I hope that
doesn't get you in trouble.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
No it won't, but dude, and all the lights are on. Yeah,
all the lights are on. So and I didn't think
anything about it, but I was like, dude, I don't
I don't sleep walk like I.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It was.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
It was really bizarre. And what I mean is like
my mom didn't come and check in and forget to
leave some lights on while I was sleeping. There's just
no you know, there there's none of this. You can
explain anything because there's a gate and a mile long
driveway and a house where nobody knows exists, so you.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Wouldn't have left the lights on.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
No, I mean, is it just you just me for
the first few times. Yeah, And what it is is
it's it wasn't an a frame, but the master bedroom.
It was only one story upstairs or one room upstairs,
and it was an open like master bedroom.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Gotcha.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
So you walk in, you know, the living room, all this,
and then the stairs they just go up and there's
a master bedroom.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
They're to it. Yeah yeah, yeah, loft.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Kind of Essentially, what I'm saying is I couldn't sleep
if the lights were.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
On, you know what I mean, Yeah, because the whole
house would be little room, room would be love.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
So anyway, so that happened like three nights in a row.
I would go downstairs in the morning and like random
lights would be on in a row.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
In a row.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
And then some of this might be out of order.
That's CALLI and I were, I guess you could say,
putting together the guest bedroom, the bed side table, all
this stuff. And we hung a mirror behind the bed.
And my wife is very meticulous, and uh and I'm
not so it's it's a good balance. But we were
hanging this mirror and it had to be perfect, and
so we literally were like messing with it for an
(08:33):
hour and we finally got it perfect and we looked
at it and good job, all right, great, and then
we go to bed and we wake up the next
morning and the mirror has a giant scratch across the
middle of the mirror.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
See I'm getting chew on.
Speaker 7 (08:48):
It was so it was so that cow and I
told Kelly, like man that something's going on with the house,
like lights are coming on and stuff, and and uh,
there was a window that was open one morning behind
my kitchen sink.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
That was really weird.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
And yeah, so then Calli was like, I don't like
that at all. I mean, we examined it would be
like hanging this flag and then the next morning tear
down the middle of the flag.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I mean it was not like the like the flag
had fallen off, like it literally like things were open.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
That takes human power.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
Yeah, and so there was a scratch across the mirror
and it freaked both of us out. I didn't think
anything about it. And then one night we were up there
watching Yellowstone and we heard a noise downstairs. And I
can't remember if this part was in my head, but
I think I remember Cali being like, what was that?
And I was like, it sounded like a chair scared
across the floor, and didn't think anything anything about it.
(09:42):
And I got up early the next morning and our
chair from our kitchen table had been moved like six
feet out, like into the middle of our living room.
And I was just like, dude, it's becoming a thing.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Are you ghosty? Are you ghosty? How do you feel?
Where do you range on the here's my thing paranormal scale.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
I think that somehow, some way science can explain something
to do with it, and I don't think I think
there's a way that they can explain it and not
negate religion. I just think we didn't know that radio
waves existed until one hundred years ago, and now look
what we've done with invisible waves where you can like
talk to people across the world. And this, I mean,
(10:27):
like you just I think there's a way to explain it,
because I want to believe so bad that it's real.
But so all right, here's the meat and potatoes of it.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
Right.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
I woke up and this sounds like a movie, but
I swear to God this is true. I woke up
Callie Cali, so we had windows start opening, lights kept
turning on and off.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Like a time long?
Speaker 5 (10:49):
What time period is this going on?
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Over the course of a couple months, and then Callie said,
I can't we're dating at this point, we're not even
engage yet, and she's like, I can't keep saying with
you it freaks me out. Really yeah, I mean she
but you know, she lived in town. I lived out
in Joelton. She didn't stay with me all the time anyway,
But she was like, I just until this calms down,
Like I was freaking me up to enough to freak
(11:10):
her out bad. And I was freaked out. But I
never like went to bed scared.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I just.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Don't.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
I would just wake up and be like, God, something
happened again.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
So there was a series of like five or six
nights in a row. I never wake up in the
middle of the night ever. I never have unless I
have to go pee, which I still usually never do.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
I woke up at two fifty nine or three am
on the dot five or six nights in a row,
and I would wake up and I would check my
clock and it was two fifty nine or three o'clock
am on the dot.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
And uh.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
There was one night I woke up and it was
three am on the dot and I was in a
full on like sweat like I thought I.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Was gonna say TP.
Speaker 9 (11:56):
Was I was in a tp Oh my god, dudd
full on swept.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
And uh, I just was. I remember, I just I
woke up feeling uncomfortable, and I was like, what is
going on? I got I sat inside of my bed,
I turned my lamp on, and when I turned my
lamp on, something jumped from my balcom.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Wait, wait, something.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Jumped from the balcony from the loft where my bedroom is,
because there was a rail and you could hear, like
you could hear like the pressure of like putting a
pressure on it, like as if it was sitting on
the rail. Like it creaked and then nothing and then boom,
and it hit the floor and it ran through my
house and I jumped up. I got up out of bed,
and I like turned every light on. I grabbed my gun.
(12:44):
I swept my entire house, like every closet, every corner,
No doors were open nothing.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I got chilled with on my thighs.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
And again like there's no way anybody could get in
this house, Like there's no way anybody knew it was there.
Like it wasn't like you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
No dogs or coyats running up there, no raccoon And
it was.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
The most real, like yeah, see, I even thought like
it was loud.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
It was.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
It was so loud though that it was like it
shook the dishes in my like like it was like
somebody jumped. I mean, it's hard to explain, dude. I
swept my whole house. I didn't sleep a wink that night.
And then I came home and I told Cally about it,
and uh, she was like, we gotta.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Do something, and I was like, I agree, No, let
me ask you this in that process or you think
it is the has the artifacts even rang in your
head that you.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
At that okay? Yes, So some point in that month
two months, Calli was the one. She was like, I
think it's that campsite y'all found the other day. And
I was like, and you just don't know, man, like
that fresh dirt. Oh there's a okay. This was another
very important one that I forgot about. Yes, so glad
there's another one I lay in like the first thing
(13:54):
that happened before the light's coming on and everything, like
the night or two after I brought that stuff home,
my truck alarm, I would I locked my truck even
out of my house, like I that's the one thing
I would do at Calli's house wherever it was. I
would lock my truck. My alarm went off in my
truck every single night for like and you know when
it's cold, like your electronics get squirrely, and that can
(14:14):
happen April or May. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like weird stuff
like that. And I could not figure out what the
deal was and then one day it just it just
stopped doing it and it's never done it ever again.
And that was drug. That was the first same truck.
But that was the first same truck that happened.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, do you have it in hardy flogs?
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Then no, I didn't. But and you know, okay, So
here's my like's crazy theory is that whatever it was
rode home and got in my truck with me, and
I swear to god, it was like it was trying
to get out or something. I mean, that's the way
that I can describe it. Because the only way alarm
can go off. But if your truck is locked is
(14:55):
if somebody's in it and they try to get out.
You know, you know what I'm talking about. You're in
a locked call and you try to get out of
the alarm goes off. Yeah, and that's the only thing
that I can think of. Yeah, so your truck is
going off. It makes sense because I mean, if you
lock somebody, if you lock like even if you lock
your wife in the car for five seconds while you
run in whatever, she's you know, she's like locked the
doors while you go on the gas station, if she
(15:16):
opens that door or if she even on some of
the newer stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
If you even move around inside the truck the alarm. Yeah,
and that's what you're saying. It went off for how long?
A week?
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Yeah, at least a week, A couple of times at
her apartment, a couple of times at mind.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Wake Up Ford Ghost. Dude.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
So we came, dude, and I felt like an idiot
doing this. But she she bought some Sage and she
looked like googled all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Indeed, she was like, she was.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Like, it says to Sage. Every doorway, every crack, every
corner in your house, open all the windows and all
the doors. You walk in with an intention, and you
tell it. You just you tell it to get out.
And you you you don't say it like we're afraid
of you. You just you tell it to get out.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
So, dude, I walked in there, Jesus.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
Son, all of it, and I was like, and I
was just like, I'm you know, if I have something
of yours, I'm sorry. I can promise you I treat
it with respect, but you're not welcome here. This is
our home, and uh, you're making us uncomfortable. And do
we did? We did the thing and open up the
doors and they said, like, you saved a door really good,
and you're like, get out of here now, and dude,
(16:23):
not a single thing happened after that. She had left
us alone. But here's the craziest thing is my mom.
My parents used to go out there sometimes and just
like hang out. It's like I'll get away because they
live here in town. And my mom would go out there.
And she texted me a couple of times before I
moved and she was like, and my mom has never
told a lie in her life. And she was like, son,
(16:43):
I don't know what's going on in your house. She
was like, I went in your guest bedroom and the
lamp started turning on off And this was after the
Sage thing, and she was like, and I said out loud,
I'm leaving. I'm getting out of here, and then said
that she would walk by the front door which had
a lamp beside it and said it was started turn
and then she left and she was like, I never
will go back. And that was after the sage. So
(17:04):
if it didn't leave, it at least like left us alone.
But I never we never had a problem after that.
And that's oh, and then it is getting better. Cally
and I didn't tell anybody about this podcast.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Rushmore stories right now for sure, dude.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
So I told Hunter about it after everything it finally
kind of fizzled down, and he was like, when was that?
And I gave him like the exact date and he
and he like went back and he was like, dude,
they lived in like a townhome. You could ask him
about this, and he was like, my, I woke up
one night to my dog barking. He was like, Laila
(17:42):
heard his German shepherd. He was like, she never barks
the middle of the night. And I woke up and
I heard a big thud downstairs. And they're in like
a town home. They have a baby. The dog was
upstairs with them. She started barking. And he said that
the next morning he went down and his arrowhead case
had been unlatched and opened because he brought some stuff
home to bro.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
He that ain't no liar, He don't hell.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
And uh, maybe.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I don't wicked. Maybe I just don't let that ben.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
But you know I didn't. I didn't take that stuff back.
I still have it. I mean, there all of roast
pray over your forward When I leave. What if my
truck alarm starts going.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
That would.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
To convoy Greading Morgans and a convoy only.
Speaker 10 (18:39):
To think I think that was Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, with your band, I was, and I was the
first play you know.
Speaker 10 (18:49):
I was actually in the Army reserves at the time
and I was the first artist to go over to Afghanistan.
We went to Kandahar. First people there. They were literally
still sweeping up glass out of the airport. They would
have their briefings in the morning, the command briefings at
the Red Cross station that they had set up when
we went over that we stayed in. They call them
GP mediums. Is a tent with a wooden floor.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Did you want to do did you say, hey, I
want to go over there and play for the tips
right now during war?
Speaker 10 (19:16):
Yes, absolutely I wanted to come on.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yeah we did. It was just like that.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
But to your question, right, the scenario that happened.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Oh, so we were driving.
Speaker 10 (19:30):
We had to go from point A to point B.
Point B being an outpost. We were supposed to fly,
but because of all the ground to air they canceled
the flights. Instead, we're going to go vehicles, So they
brought in these really nice vehicles, you know, bulletproof glass
and stuff.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
So wasn't that terrible deal?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Now sat down vs. General.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
I want to say it was Hughes Shelton was the
commanding officer at the time of everything over there, and
he knew me because I'd worked for him at the
eighty second Everyone Division. And it came time for the briefing.
So they have this captain that's out there give in
the what they call a convoy briefing.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
He's given the.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
Brief and then the general interrupted him and said he
looked at the commander and the senior inco and said, listen,
if anything happens out there, he's in charge.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
He pointed at me.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
And these guys have no idea who I am.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
They just know I'm and uh.
Speaker 10 (20:16):
And so we're going down the road and I got
my drummer sitting beside me. Was also an acoustic player
at the time. He did a bunch of that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Well, are these are these dudes that like have not?
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Are they like he never beenlle Nashville musicians.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
Yeah, they've never been out of the country. I don't
know that he had ever been out of Myrtle Bee, Carolina.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I didn't I signed up.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
For myrtles a big jump.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
They just app everyone I've ever taken over there loved it.
But he was sitting on that side. I was sitting
on this side. We're going down and about you know.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
We're like the fourth or fifth vehicle.
Speaker 10 (20:48):
Back in a hum vy and uh, like I said,
a suicide bomber tried to come out and they ended
up shooting in the coo. Yeah, and the convoy start
is stopping, and so I grabbed the microphone and said, move, move, move, move,
do not stop. This convoy start hollering, grab the weapon
from the uh TC and so I'm hanging the weapon
(21:10):
out and the convoy takes back off again.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (21:13):
And we get past it and you know, they're just
pulling a sheet up over the guy. You can see,
you know, stuff everywhere with it, you know. Uh I
mean I say blood and stuff everywhere. And uh my
drummer is like literally just losing his mind. Oh yeah,
like just losing his mind. And I didn't think anything
about it. I'm just like, oh, jacked up, freaking Amen.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
We're shooting bad guys.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
That's happening in the back.
Speaker 11 (21:38):
This is real.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I am back my boy, you know, I'm with my boys.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Now.
Speaker 10 (21:42):
And so we get up to where we're going and
I'm still.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
A little jack.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
So I get out with this guy's weapon.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
I forget I've taken his weapon and I'm you know,
I'm I'm crossed up with his gun. And he's like, hey, hey, sir,
can I have my weapon back? Like, oh, bro, I'm
sorry here, and Mike goes, I mean he was like
literally shaking drummer.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (22:00):
And he said, He's like, man, that's this weird, scariest
thing I've ever seen there experience in my life. I'm like,
oh man, it was all good. I told you, these
guys were taking care of them. But we're safe for
here the Nashville after nine, you know. And we got
talking about and he goes, yeah, he said, I don't
understand you man. The whole time this is going on,
you're popping M and m's in your mouth like nothing's happening.
(22:29):
I just, you know, went back into that mode that quick.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
That is all.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Yeah, that's a great story. That's a great story.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Sidewalk Blood Trail. Yeah, it kind of got weird. There's
a story about Luke Laird hunting the town.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
So last year.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
After porch Are I cut yeah.
Speaker 12 (23:05):
You know, there's not a lot of time in the day.
So during the rut, I'm kind of always prepared, and
you know, I work write songs at home, and I
had just dropped the kids off at school, and so
it was like seven point thirty eight o'clock. I pull
back in to our little cabin on our property and
(23:26):
I get out and in the trees, I hear some
I was like, oh, man, I hear some drestling over there,
and it wasn't squirrels. So I run inside, grab my bow,
come out to the front porch and kind of lean
up against against the cabin, and I see a dough
come out. So I was like, oh, here we go,
because I knew they were chasing, and I just kind
(23:47):
of no cover. I just stand right on the front porch,
like just wide open, and I see a bucket's got
his nose down and he runs like straight towards me
to where I thought he was gonna run into me.
Like so I'm just like, I just tried to make
some noise, and he stands up, kind of looks right
(24:09):
at me, and he's and he's broadside, but then he
turned his head and it was just happened really fast.
That one I did shoot with the compound aar went
straight through.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
I was like, that's a good that was a really
good shot.
Speaker 12 (24:21):
The problem is he wasn't aiming down towards where the
more woods were. There's a subdivision right behind that cabin.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Beautiful and subdivision.
Speaker 12 (24:33):
I thought he went down before that. So I gave
it some time. I walked really good blood trail.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
How much.
Speaker 12 (24:39):
I know, you're so excited. I want to say, I
gave it a good like half hour, so.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
A lot of time at.
Speaker 12 (24:50):
I know, I know, but I didn't know that because
there was still a little bit of woods, and I
thought I heard him crash like closer to I get
I get in just easy able to follow. All of
a sudden, followed right to this backyard of a house.
The trail didn't stop, and I noticed walked through their
driveway up around to the other side, and.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
I follow the blood trail, so.
Speaker 12 (25:11):
I didn't even I didn't go into their property, and
I was just like, oh man, So I get in
my truck, go down through the gate of that. It's
a gaated community this other road, and I'm just looking
everywhere and by this point, you know it's manicured, beautiful home,
(25:31):
and I'm just looking and nothing go up. Turn around, asn't.
I mean, there's moms out there walking And and as
I drive down, I looked to the left and it
was like on a hill there's beautiful white home and
right in the middle of.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
The front yard.
Speaker 12 (25:50):
He's laying there, laying there, and there's two cars in
the driveway, and I'm just like, I don't know whose
house it is. I I literally just keep driving and sweating.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Just so you're just thinking through what to do next.
Speaker 12 (26:02):
Yes, I knew I didn't do anything illegal, so that
I was at least felt good about that. However, you
don't know how people are going to react.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
This is the difference in where we grew up, and
your brain kind of goes to that place of like
worst case scenario, like these people were going.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
To be in a songwriter.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, we're going to call the call.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 12 (26:25):
And I didn't know, and and so I just first
thing I think to do is call my dad. I
told him the whole situation. He's like, well done, the
same thing, the same he said, First of all, if
you got any camera on, he goes go change. Look,
we're representable. Don't just roll up in there like a redneck.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Good, that's good.
Speaker 12 (26:41):
I was like, all the good news is I didn't
because I didn't even have time that I was just
wearing my sweatpants or something. And then I was like,
I just got to get this over with. So I
turned around, pull up in the driveway, just like said
a prayer, Lord, please let this go go before me. Yeah, please, God,
just remove that deer from New York and.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
Put it back.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
Put it last ten minutes not even have happened, Jesus.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
So as I'm as I'm.
Speaker 12 (27:08):
I pull in, the deer's right here in the yard.
Front door opens, this woman walks out, and I before
she says anything, I'm like, I'm so sorry. It's like, hey, Luke,
And I realized I knew her. Yeah, I was like
hoping that that. You know, I didn't know her well,
but she was our kids go to school where my
(27:29):
kids do. And I was like, this is my worst fear.
I'm so sorry that this deer she goes.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Oh no, it's she goes.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
You know.
Speaker 12 (27:36):
I called my husband at work and told him there's
like there's a dead buck in her yard, and he
told me that well, it is hunting season. I bet
somebody will track it. So thank you, I said, well,
so yeah, I said, I really appreciate it. But also,
by the way I'm walking and her beautiful sidewalk, there's
just blood. I was like, can I get if you
(27:59):
let me were your hoses?
Speaker 6 (28:01):
No, She's like, no, we'll get it.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
I was like, oh my gosh, you a backstrap or.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Something and then you blood trailed up a concrete yeah.
Speaker 12 (28:09):
And so then I backed up and I didn't want
to be like, hey, by the way.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Can you help me car right?
Speaker 12 (28:14):
So I literally, you know, I just grabbed the antlers.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
At that time, though, it's like pure adrenaline.
Speaker 12 (28:23):
I hope I don't blow my back out. Threw it
up in there and got out of there fast. Two
days sweating like crazy. It was so nerve wracking.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
That's a great story, and to the point.
Speaker 12 (28:36):
Where I was like, next year, I'm not even going
to tempt and then I shot to this year. I
thank you, but this is my new and who knows
if this will work. But I'm like, Okay, if they're
walking aiming towards that way, I'm not going to shoot them.
But if they're going the other.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Way, like, yeah, we'll see, we'll see that sixty walks
out that way. This year was the ideal.
Speaker 12 (28:56):
It happened two times and I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
It was. It was great.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
But that yeah, last year A.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Good thing that you're doing that because I mean there's
a lot of traffic in there.
Speaker 12 (29:05):
I'm trying to help keep the population.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
Yeah, here's one bad satellite.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Out of the sky field. Janny Anderson took it to
her showing too.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (29:31):
The weirdest thing that happened is, I mean he had
some like just for protection for him. He had like
some little satellites up around just to kind of like,
I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Know what they were doing.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
What do you means satellites like in the sky, satellite.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
In the sky, satellite big brothers be watching him.
Speaker 13 (29:50):
Yeah, I mean I get it. I think it's totally fine.
I want the president to be safe.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
To thousand and just stops at the fence, he stops
at the property line.
Speaker 11 (29:59):
Yeah, this was I guess I was in like sixth
grade when was he present?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Just kicked the doors in this place.
Speaker 13 (30:14):
Could happen, but but I just remember I was I
was at school and my dad he picked me up
and told me what happened earlier in the day. And
he he was like, well, there was like this guy
that was working for him out at the ranch and
he was working on a fence and one of the
satellites fell out of orbit and landed about twenty yards
(30:38):
from it. And he called my dad and he said,
mister Bill, something from out of space just fell on
your ranch. And and so I just remember my dad said, like, so, training,
we have this satellite in the back of the superbon
right now. And it it was it's not that big, really,
it was like.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
This is this is shocking.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
I'm going to say.
Speaker 13 (31:00):
It was two feet by two feet and it was
covered in styrofoam, had a.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Little pair of shoes like sitting in his bar.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
It had it had.
Speaker 13 (31:11):
A number to call if found on it, get at it.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
I'm not even kidding you. And so my dad, Puppy
and my dad.
Speaker 13 (31:19):
My dad kept it in the garage and this was
probably extremely against the law, but they didn't come and
get it for a few days. I took it to
school the next day.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
The president you did not take a show.
Speaker 13 (31:37):
I was like, I want to take this to science class, Dad,
And anyway, so that's probably the craziest thing that happened
during the President put.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
That in the top three stories we've had on this podcast.
That's a clip that's got just listen. The punch to
that is that you took it.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Story.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
You gotta slip.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
That was like a well written song right there listening.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Sorry for I would I'd pay good money to say
a little training with this sad front.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Found White House crazy.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
You should have put that number in your phone.
Speaker 13 (32:13):
Yeah, I need to ask my dad just to kind
of like retell me the facts and because like I haven't.
That was like the version of the story through like
my fifth grade or sixth grade eyes.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
I forget what year it.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Was, but that's a beautiful anyway.
Speaker 13 (32:27):
Yeah, it was a it was a wild time. There
were a lot of interesting things that happened.
Speaker 7 (32:31):
And I met him and my mom played golf with him.
Speaker 13 (32:34):
He asked to fish at the ranch and my dad
told him, Now, yeah, your dad.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Told the president though. Anyway, dude, you're all a private
lake man. That's you stock it. You know what fish
are in there? You a man, We'll keep it to yourself.
Speaker 13 (32:50):
My dad apparently wasn't going to be invited to join,
and so my dad said, well, hell.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
No, you can't come fish in my ranch.
Speaker 12 (32:57):
Thing.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I love the fact that your dad had the guts.
Sounds awesome, awesome.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
He's a character.
Speaker 13 (33:06):
I was raised by a character.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Better watch for them snakes when you're walking through the stickies.
Here's Randy Montana and Rattlesnake Ricky.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
If you listen to the Brothers podcast, you've heard this story.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh I told it on there.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Oh dude, is this is a great story.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
But for our new listeners, man, this is this.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Is one million percent true. And I just co write
this story with me because it's been ten years at
this point probably so help me get through it. But
the abbreviated version is me and Randy were going hunting.
We were going turkey hunting, and on the way to
the camp, we stopped by a gas station. I don't
care to even say where it was. It was on
(33:50):
the corner of the main intersection in Columbia where you
take that right on those coordinates runella. Yeah, they got
great gas stations chicken. I'll tell you to drop you
a pen. I will share those where the best gas
station chicken strips are. Anyway you know what I'm talking
about right there on the left or that shell. All right,
we go in there. We walk in the entire way
(34:14):
down sixty five. We had been talking about rattlesnakes and
getting bitten by rattlesnakes. I don't know why. We were
just yeah, right, we were talking about it.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Turkey out.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
It was on our brain. So we pull up into
this gas station. We get out. I'm like, hey, man,
you a couple of chicken strips. This place is awesome.
Let's knock it out, you know. We walk in, we
go in. There is this chicken strip at like four thirty.
It was not before.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
It was not before. That's right, that's chicken strips.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
It was like, So we roll in there and we
I can't even make this up. I can't. This story
is so crazy. It doesn't sound real, but I promise
this is real. We walk in and straight out of
nineteen eighty five is a guy behind the counter with
feathered blonde Yeah hair.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
What is feathered?
Speaker 12 (35:07):
Me?
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Like blonde?
Speaker 14 (35:08):
It was like it was like flat iron straight but
but fixed.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
He just looked like the guy that was in a He.
Speaker 14 (35:17):
Was kind of ripped was he was a white It
looked like he was in a White Snake.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Video White Snake, Which Snake?
Speaker 5 (35:22):
And even super Tan Switch think about it.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
It was April.
Speaker 7 (35:28):
How was that guy?
Speaker 5 (35:29):
I still think he was an angel or.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Could have been either.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Angel or ghost.
Speaker 12 (35:37):
I can't make this up, dude.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
I can't make this up, dude. He had an ear
ring that looks beautiful, just a diamond ear ring. Maybe two,
I don't know, but definitely one. No, it was one.
It was just one. Yeah, And so we walked in
and uh, this noticeably, I guess we were in Camo
or something. He recognized we were going. He had a
(36:02):
a skin graft.
Speaker 15 (36:03):
Yeah, he was like ripped and I remember, but there
was a giant like the entire top of his arm
was grafted, obviously not regularly born with skin so much
so you could see like his ten ins and stuff.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
Yeah, something went down.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
We walk up to the thing to pay for our strips.
The guy goes, we don't see anything. He goes, you
boys going hunting. We were like, oh, well we're headed
to camp tonight, you know, And he goes, watch out
for them rattlesnakes. Didn't he we had just been talking
about for an hour. Yeah, he goes watch out for
them rown snakes, and me and Randy look at each
other like, wow, what happened. I'll give it to you.
(36:42):
You take this part of the story. How did he
tell us it's just a lot of my line.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
Well, he was just like, yeah, he started telling us
he's back.
Speaker 14 (36:46):
I was seventeen years old, and he goes, thought I.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Was bulletproof, and he says, I picked up He.
Speaker 14 (36:51):
Goes, there was one, you know, on the ground or whatever.
Somebody dared me to pick him up, he says, So
he picks it up, and he just like and then
he points at that big skin graft up his arm
and he goes, and that's what happens that Venom runs
up yond you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Like it's something telling us this, and we're just like,
no way, this is.
Speaker 5 (37:10):
After we've just been talking about just looking at this.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
We're just starting at this.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
Ten Angel slash Ghosts.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Out of a nineteen eighties music video, Venom runs a
Beyond bull Yeah yeah, but it's real nice about it
s sweet. So it just didn't fit. It just didn't fit.
It's We're like, that's weird. We hit the truck, drive
to west and see spend the night get up the
next morning. It was that bird that lived on top
(37:35):
of that hill.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
Oh yeah, about five years.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Five years, so me and Randy getting there super early.
Speaker 5 (37:41):
Probably that bird had probably we put him to bed
twenty seven We.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Put him in bed. Yeah, we put him in to bed.
Speaker 14 (37:45):
Okay, and then from the bottom and then we're like, well,
we'll walk the ridge in the morning.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I mean, call this bird up. Bird stays at what
eighty not shooting range.
Speaker 14 (37:57):
Oh, I've never seen a bird hit the ground in
like less than that bird did.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
And it was super early, super early. He's fanning, strutting,
I mean, gobbling. Everything you wanted to do, will not
hadn't even been haunted that year, and I think that
was early. And so we sit there and and toy
with his bird for hours until we're like, dude, that
he ain't coming. Let's go get on another one. We turned,
we get up, we're walking back up the ridge to
(38:22):
the truck, and I see Randy pick his right foot
up to go to step over a log and ask.
The morning after we see rattlesnake Rickey. The morning after
we meet that guy. He raises his leg. There he is,
or he goes there she is and I said what
he was like, he puts his foot back down. I
(38:43):
stepped over and cold up is the biggest, probably four
and a half five foot, you know, not super long,
but I'm telling you like a Louisville slugger. It was
this big and and the craziest thing about rat. And
this was the thing I always I tell this when
I tell the story, I always think about this. Every
(39:05):
snake I've ever ran up on Copperhead, any of that stuff.
During both season or whatever, we'll see you and kind
of dip. This rattlesnake is like literally looks up at
us and it's.
Speaker 5 (39:14):
Like, square up, what'd you got a problem?
Speaker 2 (39:17):
What we're gonna do? Man? How are we gonna do?
Y'all gonna have the thing in these woods? And I
have been for thousands of years? What's up? How are
we going to handle this?
Speaker 3 (39:27):
So true man?
Speaker 2 (39:29):
And the jaw.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
I just remember, did you immediately think of rattle snake
Ricky when you saw it?
Speaker 2 (39:34):
You're so much so that when we came back through,
we were like, dude, we gotta stop in there. Never
seen him again. It wasn't working there, He didn't work there.
Weeks after. He has never been seen again. If that
guy listened to this podcast, hit us up, dude, because
I'd like to.
Speaker 10 (39:48):
See you as a kid running by my window when
I was growing up.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
Bro, rattlesnake, Ricky. What's that kid's name, Ricky?
Speaker 1 (39:57):

We got in the truck one Sunday and my son man,
to be careful. Dude, I couldn't tell you the last
time I cried until I had kids.

Right down the road.
Speaker 18 (49:39):
And my son said, I think I won't be babitized,
and you know me and my wife, you know, And
he had said it a couple of times before. I
remember the first time he said I missed. It was
miss everything. But she had told me about it on
the phone. That was the first time i'd heard him
say it. And I was like, all right, well, buddy,

And dude, it was. It was incredible. So the next
Sunday I reached out to the pastor. I said, hey, man,
my little man's talking about so I used to get baptized,
but I want to make sure it's not just you know,
he's absolutely bringing my office. After the sermon, we went
to his office, and dude, he he asked Barrett some
(50:34):
serious questions and my.
Speaker 3 (50:36):
Son knew, what are you talking about? You know what
I mean? And he was like, he told me an Amber.
At the end of he.

And he said, guys, he said, he knows what he's
talking about. He understands it. And I think this boy
wants to be baptized. Dude, Baptism Sunday. They usually do
a pretty good job of trying to keep us saved and.
Speaker 3 (51:04):
Where we can en George Church.

When he got the water and and and he started
talking to him, and man, just my my heart just
kind of cramped up.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
And I just remember put my head mans like this as.

Here's one that pairs well out a party.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
It's in the.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Arego story from our good buddy already.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
I'll try to keep it to the cliff notes.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
No, don't we got time go for so make it.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
Good hunter Phelps again. It's like one of my best
friends in Nashville, all right at all, and he's my
big airhead hunting buddy. So this particular time, it was
two years ago, I guess at this point, I had
COVID two years ago on Christmas, so I didn't get
to go do christ my family, but I wasn't really
sick and it was warm, and I went and found
one on Christmas Day you can. But anyway, so we're
(04:17):
hitting all these bank spots and we're doing all this stuff,
and we're finding a couple, and it's getting dark and
we get to this one spot we've never been to before.
A hunter goes this way and I go this way.
I go down here. I find a big, beautiful arrowhead.
And what's big, like not the size of your hand,
but like pretty you know what I mean, my whole hand. Yeah,
I found a good one, one of the best ones
(04:39):
I've ever found. Looked like a big leaf.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
So is this Is this a hunting arrowhead or is
this like a working arrow?
Speaker 7 (04:44):
More than likely a knife. They call them all arrowheads,
but most of them were like knives and spearheads. Only
the really small ones are actual arrowheads. And that didn't
come until like the Woodland period, which was like way
they didn't start hlting my bows until way later, way later,
thousands of years after you would think, I mean, it's
getting real dark. And Hunter comes back and he's like,
(05:04):
you have to come with me right now. I have
to show you something. And I walk with him down
the bank to his spot that he went and pictured
like a wall and it's regular gray or not gray
brown dirt. And then there's a spot probably like the
width of this wall that's just black and gray, and
there's flint and animal bones and pottery just like pouring
(05:29):
out of this bank. Really it was a campsite and
we were the first people to find it.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
How old was this campsite? In your in your brain?
I mean, do you think, I guess.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Three four thousand years?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's sick, maybe older, that's crazy. That's really cool already, Yeah,
I mean that's cool to find something.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
First people to find it. It was I mean, we had
to have been because we found so many, so many artifacts.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Right there, you know what you had found? Yeah, Okay, so.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
We start and stuff and uh didn't think anything about it.
I go home and before I go any further, there's
there's no no facts really that that point directly to this.
But it's the only thing that can explain what I'm
about to tell. So it's it's all like jumbled. But
(06:22):
I woke up one morning and it took like two weeks,
but I woke up one morning.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Did you brought something back from that?
Speaker 7 (06:27):
I brought like two or three ERA heads back and uh,
I woke up one morning and like all the lights
were on in my house. And I lived in a
house at the time in Joelton. And when I say
the middle of nowhere, you could not see it from
a helicopter. Dude, it was in my heart.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
It was.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
My driveway was like a mile, like a three quarters
of a mile long. It went through these hardwoods and
these hills and then you just my it was like
a kind of a Gatlinburg style cabin.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
It's awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, you still have that place. I said, you're gonna
keep that? And you said, have you met my wife.
That's literally what you said to me. I hope that
doesn't get you in trouble.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
No it won't, but dude, and all the lights are on. Yeah,
all the lights are on. So and I didn't think
anything about it, but I was like, dude, I don't
I don't sleep walk like I.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It was.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
It was really bizarre. And what I mean is like
my mom didn't come and check in and forget to
leave some lights on while I was sleeping. There's just
no you know, there there's none of this. You can
explain anything because there's a gate and a mile long
driveway and a house where nobody knows exists, so you.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Wouldn't have left the lights on.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
No, I mean, is it just you just me for
the first few times. Yeah, And what it is is
it's it wasn't an a frame, but the master bedroom.
It was only one story upstairs or one room upstairs,
and it was an open like master bedroom.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Gotcha.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
So you walk in, you know, the living room, all this,
and then the stairs they just go up and there's
a master bedroom.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
They're to it. Yeah yeah, yeah, loft.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Kind of Essentially, what I'm saying is I couldn't sleep
if the lights were.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
On, you know what I mean, Yeah, because the whole
house would be little room, room would be love.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
So anyway, so that happened like three nights in a row.
I would go downstairs in the morning and like random
lights would be on in a row.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
In a row.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
And then some of this might be out of order.
That's CALLI and I were, I guess you could say,
putting together the guest bedroom, the bed side table, all
this stuff. And we hung a mirror behind the bed.
And my wife is very meticulous, and uh and I'm
not so it's it's a good balance. But we were
hanging this mirror and it had to be perfect, and
so we literally were like messing with it for an
(08:33):
hour and we finally got it perfect and we looked
at it and good job, all right, great, and then
we go to bed and we wake up the next
morning and the mirror has a giant scratch across the
middle of the mirror.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
See I'm getting chew on.
Speaker 7 (08:48):
It was so it was so that cow and I
told Kelly, like man that something's going on with the house,
like lights are coming on and stuff, and and uh,
there was a window that was open one morning behind
my kitchen sink.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
That was really weird.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
And yeah, so then Calli was like, I don't like
that at all. I mean, we examined it would be
like hanging this flag and then the next morning tear
down the middle of the flag.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I mean it was not like the like the flag
had fallen off, like it literally like things were open.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
That takes human power.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
Yeah, and so there was a scratch across the mirror
and it freaked both of us out. I didn't think
anything about it. And then one night we were up there
watching Yellowstone and we heard a noise downstairs. And I
can't remember if this part was in my head, but
I think I remember Cali being like, what was that?
And I was like, it sounded like a chair scared
across the floor, and didn't think anything anything about it.
(09:42):
And I got up early the next morning and our
chair from our kitchen table had been moved like six
feet out, like into the middle of our living room.
And I was just like, dude, it's becoming a thing.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Are you ghosty? Are you ghosty? How do you feel?
Where do you range on the here's my thing paranormal scale.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
I think that somehow, some way science can explain something
to do with it, and I don't think I think
there's a way that they can explain it and not
negate religion. I just think we didn't know that radio
waves existed until one hundred years ago, and now look
what we've done with invisible waves where you can like
talk to people across the world. And this, I mean,
(10:27):
like you just I think there's a way to explain it,
because I want to believe so bad that it's real.
But so all right, here's the meat and potatoes of it.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
Right.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
I woke up and this sounds like a movie, but
I swear to God this is true. I woke up
Callie Cali, so we had windows start opening, lights kept
turning on and off.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Like a time long?
Speaker 5 (10:49):
What time period is this going on?
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Over the course of a couple months, and then Callie said,
I can't we're dating at this point, we're not even
engage yet, and she's like, I can't keep saying with
you it freaks me out. Really yeah, I mean she
but you know, she lived in town. I lived out
in Joelton. She didn't stay with me all the time anyway,
But she was like, I just until this calms down,
Like I was freaking me up to enough to freak
(11:10):
her out bad. And I was freaked out. But I
never like went to bed scared.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I just.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Don't.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
I would just wake up and be like, God, something
happened again.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
So there was a series of like five or six
nights in a row. I never wake up in the
middle of the night ever. I never have unless I
have to go pee, which I still usually never do.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
I woke up at two fifty nine or three am
on the dot five or six nights in a row,
and I would wake up and I would check my
clock and it was two fifty nine or three o'clock
am on the dot.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
And uh.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
There was one night I woke up and it was
three am on the dot and I was in a
full on like sweat like I thought I.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Was gonna say TP.
Speaker 9 (11:56):
Was I was in a tp Oh my god, dudd
full on swept.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
And uh, I just was. I remember, I just I
woke up feeling uncomfortable, and I was like, what is
going on? I got I sat inside of my bed,
I turned my lamp on, and when I turned my
lamp on, something jumped from my balcom.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Wait, wait, something.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Jumped from the balcony from the loft where my bedroom is,
because there was a rail and you could hear, like
you could hear like the pressure of like putting a
pressure on it, like as if it was sitting on
the rail. Like it creaked and then nothing and then boom,
and it hit the floor and it ran through my
house and I jumped up. I got up out of bed,
and I like turned every light on. I grabbed my gun.
(12:44):
I swept my entire house, like every closet, every corner,
No doors were open nothing.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I got chilled with on my thighs.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
And again like there's no way anybody could get in
this house, Like there's no way anybody knew it was there.
Like it wasn't like you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
No dogs or coyats running up there, no raccoon And
it was.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
The most real, like yeah, see, I even thought like
it was loud.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
It was.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
It was so loud though that it was like it
shook the dishes in my like like it was like
somebody jumped. I mean, it's hard to explain, dude. I
swept my whole house. I didn't sleep a wink that night.
And then I came home and I told Cally about it,
and uh, she was like, we gotta.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Do something, and I was like, I agree, No, let
me ask you this in that process or you think
it is the has the artifacts even rang in your
head that you.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
At that okay? Yes, So some point in that month
two months, Calli was the one. She was like, I
think it's that campsite y'all found the other day. And
I was like, and you just don't know, man, like
that fresh dirt. Oh there's a okay. This was another
very important one that I forgot about. Yes, so glad
there's another one I lay in like the first thing
(13:54):
that happened before the light's coming on and everything, like
the night or two after I brought that stuff home,
my truck alarm, I would I locked my truck even
out of my house, like I that's the one thing
I would do at Calli's house wherever it was. I
would lock my truck. My alarm went off in my
truck every single night for like and you know when
it's cold, like your electronics get squirrely, and that can
(14:14):
happen April or May. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like weird stuff
like that. And I could not figure out what the
deal was and then one day it just it just
stopped doing it and it's never done it ever again.
And that was drug. That was the first same truck.
But that was the first same truck that happened.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, do you have it in hardy flogs?
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Then no, I didn't. But and you know, okay, So
here's my like's crazy theory is that whatever it was
rode home and got in my truck with me, and
I swear to god, it was like it was trying
to get out or something. I mean, that's the way
that I can describe it. Because the only way alarm
can go off. But if your truck is locked is
(14:55):
if somebody's in it and they try to get out.
You know, you know what I'm talking about. You're in
a locked call and you try to get out of
the alarm goes off. Yeah, and that's the only thing
that I can think of. Yeah, so your truck is
going off. It makes sense because I mean, if you
lock somebody, if you lock like even if you lock
your wife in the car for five seconds while you
run in whatever, she's you know, she's like locked the
doors while you go on the gas station, if she
(15:16):
opens that door or if she even on some of
the newer stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
If you even move around inside the truck the alarm. Yeah,
and that's what you're saying. It went off for how long?
A week?
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Yeah, at least a week, A couple of times at
her apartment, a couple of times at mind.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Wake Up Ford Ghost. Dude.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
So we came, dude, and I felt like an idiot
doing this. But she she bought some Sage and she
looked like googled all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Indeed, she was like, she was.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Like, it says to Sage. Every doorway, every crack, every
corner in your house, open all the windows and all
the doors. You walk in with an intention, and you
tell it. You just you tell it to get out.
And you you you don't say it like we're afraid
of you. You just you tell it to get out.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
So, dude, I walked in there, Jesus.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
Son, all of it, and I was like, and I
was just like, I'm you know, if I have something
of yours, I'm sorry. I can promise you I treat
it with respect, but you're not welcome here. This is
our home, and uh, you're making us uncomfortable. And do
we did? We did the thing and open up the
doors and they said, like, you saved a door really good,
and you're like, get out of here now, and dude,
(16:23):
not a single thing happened after that. She had left
us alone. But here's the craziest thing is my mom.
My parents used to go out there sometimes and just
like hang out. It's like I'll get away because they
live here in town. And my mom would go out there.
And she texted me a couple of times before I
moved and she was like, and my mom has never
told a lie in her life. And she was like, son,
(16:43):
I don't know what's going on in your house. She
was like, I went in your guest bedroom and the
lamp started turning on off And this was after the
Sage thing, and she was like, and I said out loud,
I'm leaving. I'm getting out of here, and then said
that she would walk by the front door which had
a lamp beside it and said it was started turn
and then she left and she was like, I never
will go back. And that was after the sage. So
(17:04):
if it didn't leave, it at least like left us alone.
But I never we never had a problem after that.
And that's oh, and then it is getting better. Cally
and I didn't tell anybody about this podcast.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Rushmore stories right now for sure, dude.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
So I told Hunter about it after everything it finally
kind of fizzled down, and he was like, when was that?
And I gave him like the exact date and he
and he like went back and he was like, dude,
they lived in like a townhome. You could ask him
about this, and he was like, my, I woke up
one night to my dog barking. He was like, Laila
(17:42):
heard his German shepherd. He was like, she never barks
the middle of the night. And I woke up and
I heard a big thud downstairs. And they're in like
a town home. They have a baby. The dog was
upstairs with them. She started barking. And he said that
the next morning he went down and his arrowhead case
had been unlatched and opened because he brought some stuff
home to bro.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
He that ain't no liar, He don't hell.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
And uh, maybe.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I don't wicked. Maybe I just don't let that ben.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
But you know I didn't. I didn't take that stuff back.
I still have it. I mean, there all of roast
pray over your forward When I leave. What if my
truck alarm starts going.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
That would.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
To convoy Greading Morgans and a convoy only.
Speaker 10 (18:39):
To think I think that was Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, with your band, I was, and I was the
first play you know.
Speaker 10 (18:49):
I was actually in the Army reserves at the time
and I was the first artist to go over to Afghanistan.
We went to Kandahar. First people there. They were literally
still sweeping up glass out of the airport. They would
have their briefings in the morning, the command briefings at
the Red Cross station that they had set up when
we went over that we stayed in. They call them
GP mediums. Is a tent with a wooden floor.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Did you want to do did you say, hey, I
want to go over there and play for the tips
right now during war?
Speaker 10 (19:16):
Yes, absolutely I wanted to come on.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yeah we did. It was just like that.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
But to your question, right, the scenario that happened.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Oh, so we were driving.
Speaker 10 (19:30):
We had to go from point A to point B.
Point B being an outpost. We were supposed to fly,
but because of all the ground to air they canceled
the flights. Instead, we're going to go vehicles, So they
brought in these really nice vehicles, you know, bulletproof glass
and stuff.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
So wasn't that terrible deal?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Now sat down vs. General.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
I want to say it was Hughes Shelton was the
commanding officer at the time of everything over there, and
he knew me because I'd worked for him at the
eighty second Everyone Division. And it came time for the briefing.
So they have this captain that's out there give in
the what they call a convoy briefing.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
He's given the.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
Brief and then the general interrupted him and said he
looked at the commander and the senior inco and said, listen,
if anything happens out there, he's in charge.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
He pointed at me.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
And these guys have no idea who I am.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
They just know I'm and uh.
Speaker 10 (20:16):
And so we're going down the road and I got
my drummer sitting beside me. Was also an acoustic player
at the time. He did a bunch of that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Well, are these are these dudes that like have not?
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Are they like he never beenlle Nashville musicians.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
Yeah, they've never been out of the country. I don't
know that he had ever been out of Myrtle Bee, Carolina.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I didn't I signed up.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
For myrtles a big jump.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
They just app everyone I've ever taken over there loved it.
But he was sitting on that side. I was sitting
on this side. We're going down and about you know.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
We're like the fourth or fifth vehicle.
Speaker 10 (20:48):
Back in a hum vy and uh, like I said,
a suicide bomber tried to come out and they ended
up shooting in the coo. Yeah, and the convoy start
is stopping, and so I grabbed the microphone and said, move, move, move, move,
do not stop. This convoy start hollering, grab the weapon
from the uh TC and so I'm hanging the weapon
(21:10):
out and the convoy takes back off again.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (21:13):
And we get past it and you know, they're just
pulling a sheet up over the guy. You can see,
you know, stuff everywhere with it, you know. Uh I
mean I say blood and stuff everywhere. And uh my
drummer is like literally just losing his mind. Oh yeah,
like just losing his mind. And I didn't think anything
about it. I'm just like, oh, jacked up, freaking Amen.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
We're shooting bad guys.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
That's happening in the back.
Speaker 11 (21:38):
This is real.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I am back my boy, you know, I'm with my boys.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Now.
Speaker 10 (21:42):
And so we get up to where we're going and
I'm still.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
A little jack.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
So I get out with this guy's weapon.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
I forget I've taken his weapon and I'm you know,
I'm I'm crossed up with his gun. And he's like, hey, hey, sir,
can I have my weapon back? Like, oh, bro, I'm
sorry here, and Mike goes, I mean he was like
literally shaking drummer.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (22:00):
And he said, He's like, man, that's this weird, scariest
thing I've ever seen there experience in my life. I'm like,
oh man, it was all good. I told you, these
guys were taking care of them. But we're safe for
here the Nashville after nine, you know. And we got
talking about and he goes, yeah, he said, I don't
understand you man. The whole time this is going on,
you're popping M and m's in your mouth like nothing's happening.
(22:29):
I just, you know, went back into that mode that quick.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
That is all.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Yeah, that's a great story. That's a great story.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Sidewalk Blood Trail. Yeah, it kind of got weird. There's
a story about Luke Laird hunting the town.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
So last year.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
After porch Are I cut yeah.
Speaker 12 (23:05):
You know, there's not a lot of time in the day.
So during the rut, I'm kind of always prepared, and
you know, I work write songs at home, and I
had just dropped the kids off at school, and so
it was like seven point thirty eight o'clock. I pull
back in to our little cabin on our property and
(23:26):
I get out and in the trees, I hear some
I was like, oh, man, I hear some drestling over there,
and it wasn't squirrels. So I run inside, grab my bow,
come out to the front porch and kind of lean
up against against the cabin, and I see a dough
come out. So I was like, oh, here we go,
because I knew they were chasing, and I just kind
(23:47):
of no cover. I just stand right on the front porch,
like just wide open, and I see a bucket's got
his nose down and he runs like straight towards me
to where I thought he was gonna run into me.
Like so I'm just like, I just tried to make
some noise, and he stands up, kind of looks right
(24:09):
at me, and he's and he's broadside, but then he
turned his head and it was just happened really fast.
That one I did shoot with the compound aar went
straight through.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
I was like, that's a good that was a really
good shot.
Speaker 12 (24:21):
The problem is he wasn't aiming down towards where the
more woods were. There's a subdivision right behind that cabin.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Beautiful and subdivision.
Speaker 12 (24:33):
I thought he went down before that. So I gave
it some time. I walked really good blood trail.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
How much.
Speaker 12 (24:39):
I know, you're so excited. I want to say, I
gave it a good like half hour, so.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
A lot of time at.
Speaker 12 (24:50):
I know, I know, but I didn't know that because
there was still a little bit of woods, and I
thought I heard him crash like closer to I get
I get in just easy able to follow. All of
a sudden, followed right to this backyard of a house.
The trail didn't stop, and I noticed walked through their
driveway up around to the other side, and.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
I follow the blood trail, so.
Speaker 12 (25:11):
I didn't even I didn't go into their property, and
I was just like, oh man, So I get in
my truck, go down through the gate of that. It's
a gaated community this other road, and I'm just looking
everywhere and by this point, you know it's manicured, beautiful home,
(25:31):
and I'm just looking and nothing go up. Turn around, asn't.
I mean, there's moms out there walking And and as
I drive down, I looked to the left and it
was like on a hill there's beautiful white home and
right in the middle of.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
The front yard.
Speaker 12 (25:50):
He's laying there, laying there, and there's two cars in
the driveway, and I'm just like, I don't know whose
house it is. I I literally just keep driving and sweating.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Just so you're just thinking through what to do next.
Speaker 12 (26:02):
Yes, I knew I didn't do anything illegal, so that
I was at least felt good about that. However, you
don't know how people are going to react.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
This is the difference in where we grew up, and
your brain kind of goes to that place of like
worst case scenario, like these people were going.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
To be in a songwriter.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, we're going to call the call.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 12 (26:25):
And I didn't know, and and so I just first
thing I think to do is call my dad. I
told him the whole situation. He's like, well done, the
same thing, the same he said, First of all, if
you got any camera on, he goes go change. Look,
we're representable. Don't just roll up in there like a redneck.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Good, that's good.
Speaker 12 (26:41):
I was like, all the good news is I didn't
because I didn't even have time that I was just
wearing my sweatpants or something. And then I was like,
I just got to get this over with. So I
turned around, pull up in the driveway, just like said
a prayer, Lord, please let this go go before me. Yeah, please, God,
just remove that deer from New York and.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
Put it back.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
Put it last ten minutes not even have happened, Jesus.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
So as I'm as I'm.
Speaker 12 (27:08):
I pull in, the deer's right here in the yard.
Front door opens, this woman walks out, and I before
she says anything, I'm like, I'm so sorry. It's like, hey, Luke,
And I realized I knew her. Yeah, I was like
hoping that that. You know, I didn't know her well,
but she was our kids go to school where my
(27:29):
kids do. And I was like, this is my worst fear.
I'm so sorry that this deer she goes.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Oh no, it's she goes.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
You know.
Speaker 12 (27:36):
I called my husband at work and told him there's
like there's a dead buck in her yard, and he
told me that well, it is hunting season. I bet
somebody will track it. So thank you, I said, well,
so yeah, I said, I really appreciate it. But also,
by the way I'm walking and her beautiful sidewalk, there's
just blood. I was like, can I get if you
(27:59):
let me were your hoses?
Speaker 6 (28:01):
No, She's like, no, we'll get it.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
I was like, oh my gosh, you a backstrap or.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Something and then you blood trailed up a concrete yeah.
Speaker 12 (28:09):
And so then I backed up and I didn't want
to be like, hey, by the way.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Can you help me car right?
Speaker 12 (28:14):
So I literally, you know, I just grabbed the antlers.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
At that time, though, it's like pure adrenaline.
Speaker 12 (28:23):
I hope I don't blow my back out. Threw it
up in there and got out of there fast. Two
days sweating like crazy. It was so nerve wracking.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
That's a great story, and to the point.
Speaker 12 (28:36):
Where I was like, next year, I'm not even going
to tempt and then I shot to this year. I
thank you, but this is my new and who knows
if this will work. But I'm like, Okay, if they're
walking aiming towards that way, I'm not going to shoot them.
But if they're going the other.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Way, like, yeah, we'll see, we'll see that sixty walks
out that way. This year was the ideal.
Speaker 12 (28:56):
It happened two times and I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
It was. It was great.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
But that yeah, last year A.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Good thing that you're doing that because I mean there's
a lot of traffic in there.
Speaker 12 (29:05):
I'm trying to help keep the population.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
Yeah, here's one bad satellite.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Out of the sky field. Janny Anderson took it to
her showing too.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (29:31):
The weirdest thing that happened is, I mean he had
some like just for protection for him. He had like
some little satellites up around just to kind of like,
I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Know what they were doing.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
What do you means satellites like in the sky, satellite.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
In the sky, satellite big brothers be watching him.
Speaker 13 (29:50):
Yeah, I mean I get it. I think it's totally fine.
I want the president to be safe.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
To thousand and just stops at the fence, he stops
at the property line.
Speaker 11 (29:59):
Yeah, this was I guess I was in like sixth
grade when was he present?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Just kicked the doors in this place.
Speaker 13 (30:14):
Could happen, but but I just remember I was I
was at school and my dad he picked me up
and told me what happened earlier in the day. And
he he was like, well, there was like this guy
that was working for him out at the ranch and
he was working on a fence and one of the
satellites fell out of orbit and landed about twenty yards
(30:38):
from it. And he called my dad and he said,
mister Bill, something from out of space just fell on
your ranch. And and so I just remember my dad said, like, so, training,
we have this satellite in the back of the superbon
right now. And it it was it's not that big, really,
it was like.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
This is this is shocking.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
I'm going to say.
Speaker 13 (31:00):
It was two feet by two feet and it was
covered in styrofoam, had a.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Little pair of shoes like sitting in his bar.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
It had it had.
Speaker 13 (31:11):
A number to call if found on it, get at it.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
I'm not even kidding you. And so my dad, Puppy
and my dad.
Speaker 13 (31:19):
My dad kept it in the garage and this was
probably extremely against the law, but they didn't come and
get it for a few days. I took it to
school the next day.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
The president you did not take a show.
Speaker 13 (31:37):
I was like, I want to take this to science class, Dad,
And anyway, so that's probably the craziest thing that happened
during the President put.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
That in the top three stories we've had on this podcast.
That's a clip that's got just listen. The punch to
that is that you took it.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Story.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
You gotta slip.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
That was like a well written song right there listening.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Sorry for I would I'd pay good money to say
a little training with this sad front.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Found White House crazy.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
You should have put that number in your phone.
Speaker 13 (32:13):
Yeah, I need to ask my dad just to kind
of like retell me the facts and because like I haven't.
That was like the version of the story through like
my fifth grade or sixth grade eyes.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
I forget what year it.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Was, but that's a beautiful anyway.
Speaker 13 (32:27):
Yeah, it was a it was a wild time. There
were a lot of interesting things that happened.
Speaker 7 (32:31):
And I met him and my mom played golf with him.
Speaker 13 (32:34):
He asked to fish at the ranch and my dad
told him, Now, yeah, your dad.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Told the president though. Anyway, dude, you're all a private
lake man. That's you stock it. You know what fish
are in there? You a man, We'll keep it to yourself.
Speaker 13 (32:50):
My dad apparently wasn't going to be invited to join,
and so my dad said, well, hell.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
No, you can't come fish in my ranch.
Speaker 12 (32:57):
Thing.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I love the fact that your dad had the guts.
Sounds awesome, awesome.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
He's a character.
Speaker 13 (33:06):
I was raised by a character.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Better watch for them snakes when you're walking through the stickies.
Here's Randy Montana and Rattlesnake Ricky.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
If you listen to the Brothers podcast, you've heard this story.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh I told it on there.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Oh dude, is this is a great story.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
But for our new listeners, man, this is this.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Is one million percent true. And I just co write
this story with me because it's been ten years at
this point probably so help me get through it. But
the abbreviated version is me and Randy were going hunting.
We were going turkey hunting, and on the way to
the camp, we stopped by a gas station. I don't
care to even say where it was. It was on
(33:50):
the corner of the main intersection in Columbia where you
take that right on those coordinates runella. Yeah, they got
great gas stations chicken. I'll tell you to drop you
a pen. I will share those where the best gas
station chicken strips are. Anyway you know what I'm talking
about right there on the left or that shell. All right,
we go in there. We walk in the entire way
(34:14):
down sixty five. We had been talking about rattlesnakes and
getting bitten by rattlesnakes. I don't know why. We were
just yeah, right, we were talking about it.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Turkey out.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
It was on our brain. So we pull up into
this gas station. We get out. I'm like, hey, man,
you a couple of chicken strips. This place is awesome.
Let's knock it out, you know. We walk in, we
go in. There is this chicken strip at like four thirty.
It was not before.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
It was not before. That's right, that's chicken strips.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
It was like, So we roll in there and we
I can't even make this up. I can't. This story
is so crazy. It doesn't sound real, but I promise
this is real. We walk in and straight out of
nineteen eighty five is a guy behind the counter with
feathered blonde Yeah hair.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
What is feathered?
Speaker 12 (35:07):
Me?
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Like blonde?
Speaker 14 (35:08):
It was like it was like flat iron straight but
but fixed.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
He just looked like the guy that was in a He.
Speaker 14 (35:17):
Was kind of ripped was he was a white It
looked like he was in a White Snake.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Video White Snake, Which Snake?
Speaker 5 (35:22):
And even super Tan Switch think about it.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
It was April.
Speaker 7 (35:28):
How was that guy?
Speaker 5 (35:29):
I still think he was an angel or.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Could have been either.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Angel or ghost.
Speaker 12 (35:37):
I can't make this up, dude.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
I can't make this up, dude. He had an ear
ring that looks beautiful, just a diamond ear ring. Maybe two,
I don't know, but definitely one. No, it was one.
It was just one. Yeah, And so we walked in
and uh, this noticeably, I guess we were in Camo
or something. He recognized we were going. He had a
(36:02):
a skin graft.
Speaker 15 (36:03):
Yeah, he was like ripped and I remember, but there
was a giant like the entire top of his arm
was grafted, obviously not regularly born with skin so much
so you could see like his ten ins and stuff.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
Yeah, something went down.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
We walk up to the thing to pay for our strips.
The guy goes, we don't see anything. He goes, you
boys going hunting. We were like, oh, well we're headed
to camp tonight, you know, And he goes, watch out
for them rattlesnakes. Didn't he we had just been talking
about for an hour. Yeah, he goes watch out for
them rown snakes, and me and Randy look at each
other like, wow, what happened. I'll give it to you.
(36:42):
You take this part of the story. How did he
tell us it's just a lot of my line.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
Well, he was just like, yeah, he started telling us
he's back.
Speaker 14 (36:46):
I was seventeen years old, and he goes, thought I.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Was bulletproof, and he says, I picked up He.
Speaker 14 (36:51):
Goes, there was one, you know, on the ground or whatever.
Somebody dared me to pick him up, he says, So
he picks it up, and he just like and then
he points at that big skin graft up his arm
and he goes, and that's what happens that Venom runs
up yond you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Like it's something telling us this, and we're just like,
no way, this is.
Speaker 5 (37:10):
After we've just been talking about just looking at this.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
We're just starting at this.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
Ten Angel slash Ghosts.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Out of a nineteen eighties music video, Venom runs a
Beyond bull Yeah yeah, but it's real nice about it
s sweet. So it just didn't fit. It just didn't fit.
It's We're like, that's weird. We hit the truck, drive
to west and see spend the night get up the
next morning. It was that bird that lived on top
(37:35):
of that hill.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
Oh yeah, about five years.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Five years, so me and Randy getting there super early.
Speaker 5 (37:41):
Probably that bird had probably we put him to bed
twenty seven We.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Put him in bed. Yeah, we put him in to bed.
Speaker 14 (37:45):
Okay, and then from the bottom and then we're like, well,
we'll walk the ridge in the morning.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I mean, call this bird up. Bird stays at what
eighty not shooting range.
Speaker 14 (37:57):
Oh, I've never seen a bird hit the ground in
like less than that bird did.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
And it was super early, super early. He's fanning, strutting,
I mean, gobbling. Everything you wanted to do, will not
hadn't even been haunted that year, and I think that
was early. And so we sit there and and toy
with his bird for hours until we're like, dude, that
he ain't coming. Let's go get on another one. We turned,
we get up, we're walking back up the ridge to
(38:22):
the truck, and I see Randy pick his right foot
up to go to step over a log and ask.
The morning after we see rattlesnake Rickey. The morning after
we meet that guy. He raises his leg. There he is,
or he goes there she is and I said what
he was like, he puts his foot back down. I
(38:43):
stepped over and cold up is the biggest, probably four
and a half five foot, you know, not super long,
but I'm telling you like a Louisville slugger. It was
this big and and the craziest thing about rat. And
this was the thing I always I tell this when
I tell the story, I always think about this. Every
(39:05):
snake I've ever ran up on Copperhead, any of that stuff.
During both season or whatever, we'll see you and kind
of dip. This rattlesnake is like literally looks up at
us and it's.
Speaker 5 (39:14):
Like, square up, what'd you got a problem?
Speaker 2 (39:17):
What we're gonna do? Man? How are we gonna do?
Y'all gonna have the thing in these woods? And I
have been for thousands of years? What's up? How are
we going to handle this?
Speaker 3 (39:27):
So true man?
Speaker 2 (39:29):
And the jaw.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
I just remember, did you immediately think of rattle snake
Ricky when you saw it?
Speaker 2 (39:34):
You're so much so that when we came back through,
we were like, dude, we gotta stop in there. Never
seen him again. It wasn't working there, He didn't work there.
Weeks after. He has never been seen again. If that
guy listened to this podcast, hit us up, dude, because
I'd like to.
Speaker 10 (39:48):
See you as a kid running by my window when
I was growing up.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
