Speaker 1 (03:52):
You got anywhere to be cool to roll for now?
I got to be at Big Loud at eleven o'clock.
All right, perfect, but that's very it could be it's
loose to you. So here's what I saw.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
I saw a truck pull up on the outside of
a fence. Hang on, let I don't understand the past drama.
What's the past Internet? What past drama is? And correct
me if I'm wrong here that he that something happened
where zach Brian didn't sign something for Oh, that's right,

(04:26):
that's right, or didn't sign something right, And so the
kid put him on blast on his socials and then
zach Brian replied, like, you're not entitled g O M D. Which, yeah,
I get get off my disclaim. Yeah, my disc dis
my discord. That's even get off my discla well. So

(04:51):
then Yahn, who's known, who's known to have ruffles and feathers,
a loose jawn on it. Yeah, been in the and
I'm not even I'm not even hating. Some may say
that I have that. What's the other guy that he
don't like Charlie Charlie CRUs there, he don't like a
lot of this. And and I'll be honest, all right

(05:11):
with the guy. He means it sure he means it,
he really? You think so, Like, I don't know. I've
never actually met him. I've only talked to him on
the phone or texted with him and stuff. But you
think you think he's doing it for real? Yeah, I
don't think he's I don't think. There's a lot of
people I don't. Yeah, well people are like, he knows
what he's doing when he's doing stuff. Oh, he knows
what he's doing. But he's still yes, No he's not. Yes,

(05:37):
I don't think because I mean, I'm telling you I
know I know the guy that I know the guy. Okay,
so fast forward. I guess there's this event where they're
both at I guess Gavin had not played yet and
was about to play. Is what I understood what from
from his summary his thing, there's two sides of the
fence here, Hey, so bar bar fans, some jawing occurs,

(06:02):
and then next thing, I know, uh, what's the name
Zach Bryan. Zack Bryan is climbing the fence to get
to a bar bar fence. Not only just a barber
fans prison, one of the prison reverse fences where you
got to like brou I don't know how I don't
even know how he did it. I don't believe. I

(06:22):
don't think he takes it on if it's the fences,
if it's I don't know. He was so pissed. I
don't even know he was pissed. Actually, like I looked
on it, I was like, I'm trying to see his
forearms to see if he'd so. Look, let's let's throw
out some redneck facts here that we all three are rednecks,

(06:43):
we all three have been in fights, or at least
seeing some. I won't speak for you, guys, I know
that I have Uh how what what flags? What alarms
went off in your brains as to who meant what
they were saying or who was gonna win that fight?

(07:04):
Was you like me to start? Yeah, you can start.
I don't know if I want to make I don't.
I think I'm gonna need.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
To take my opinions public on either. You're not gonna
take your public No, I don't think so. But I
but I will say that the one thing I will
say is that that dude crawled through a barbar fence.
So all I'm saying is he had it on nobody.
I've never seen a video or whatever of Gavin fight.
And I've never seen a video of that, so really
we have no idea exactly. But the dude crawled through

(07:32):
a barbar fence. He was ready, he was ready to roll.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
That.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
I agree with that. I think they were both standing
on the business basically. Think I think Gavin was too.
But you saw Zach. I think I think you saw
Zach stand on his because I mean, like, I mean,
you can tell he was pissed and pushing the fence
and then you know Gavin called him the word and uh,

(07:56):
well here but here's the word that like the come
never call guy. Oh yeah, and then you just saw
Zach go over girl. He just he just went red. Well,
I will say this, I according to Gavin, Zach was
in the event all day. Now, that throws up a
little different thing, like you could have you know, you

(08:17):
could have fairmed him. I thing, if you're Zach Bryan
looking for Gavin Atcock, I think you could have found
it without offense between the two. And I will say
this for Gavin's sake. I feel like I'm talking about
the whole thing, trying to get y'all to say stuff
and you're not going. But what I'm saying is I
I myself, if I had to fight one of the
two of them, I would pick Zack Brian over Gavin Atcock.

(08:39):
I'm not saying who will win, because you know, I've
seen little dudes whip up a short, short kind of
tree stump dudes. I thought he looked stumpier than usual
even in that. In that I kind of wish they'd
just like I kind of wish in Nissan Stadium for charity. Dude,

(09:01):
just just I'm with with I'd go watch it pay
for a box. I didn't know about that because you
never see like you never see those videos where the
guy jumps the fence and the security guards just get
out of the way and the two rolling the gravel park,

(09:22):
you know, like you never think he fought too hard
to get out of the arms of that security guard.
I'll say that I'll see some some go yeah, somebody,
and it's different. They look like Kim scattterboy, like you
know what I mean, the exactly impressive impressives from that guy.
Hey man, we've got it. Sorry about that. Sorry, let's
go that's crazy. We've got a new member of the

(09:44):
girl Dad Club. Congratulations. Uh dude, he's a big deer
killing Mississippi boy known to catch some slabs as well,
written a bunch of number one songs. New album Country
Country is out now everywhere. We got the one and
only BACKU Yeah, round three three? Actually I was, I was,
I was back in the back when y'all did it

(10:06):
in Charlotte Park, I was, dude, dude, I remember. He
was the only one we ever did over there. By
the reason we went over there was that Jacob Lutz
lived over there and he had a perfect set, had
set up. He had four inputs so we could get through.
How all right, let's try to think about how long
ago that was. I could tell I know that it
was in it was.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
It had to have been twenty eighteen because I think
it was in the fall, and uh yeah, I had
just put out this Old Boy, and that's the song
y'all asked me to play.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
He had a green Ford. I remember that. Now, red
Ford was red. It was like a ground. I mean, no,
it was a yeah two fifty, wasn't it. No, it's
it was checked up blue. It was red. No, it
must have been.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
We need to I guess we need to find the
day because that well, it depends because my first truck
I ever like my my like songwriter trump first like
truck I ever bought was a black half one fifty.
But I could have been still in my dad's I
traded vehicles with my dad.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Uh, Silverado Champagne. They wasn't. I don't think it was
a red f two fift was like a cherry round.
Now I don't think he's I think it's a black
half one fifty. Thinking so nice at that point, if
you haven't listened to the last, if you haven't listened
to the if you was the og man, congratulations for

(11:29):
making it this long. I don't know why. But if
you haven't listened, Hardy was our number. I was our second.
I think you're second episode of when this whole thing
reaching out might not even have a name back there.
I'm sure you did. But yeah, yeah, yeah, brothers, but
we uh that's that's still upright on the on the
mediat channel and all that. I reference you all the time,

(11:52):
and weve already talked about it, but I referenced you
all the time, and we've gotten a lot better or
way more pro but I reference you all the time
because they're like, we're always all right, we got we
got to talk about some music, and I always go
I was always go. Well, when we had Hardy on,
I was like, we talked about it was an hour
and forty seven minutes and we talked about music for
seven minute minutes. Did the producer go, hey, y'all have

(12:15):
to talk? I think the producer us, yeah, yeah, I
feel like we got to stop. Should we just get
that out of the way now so we can talk
about I mean, we can talk about whatever we talk about. Bro. Yeah, Well,
first of all, dude, we're just catching up. We we
I didn't really want to talk before we got in here.
How's life, How's that's good? How's being a dad? How's
that's great? We're I'm how old is she? She's six months.

(12:35):
It's awesome. She's it's such a it's such a great
spot right now. Is she crawling? No, but she's she's
been sitting up now for two weeks.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
She kind of did her reversible like butt scoot thing,
you know, yesterday.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
But she's getting there. I mean, it's we're close, but
she's also I mean, it's she is she is such
a such an easy baby, like sleeping when she's awake. No,
but that's the only part.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
But but she's we we sleep trained her this like
past month, like really intense.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
And now so she's had like a week or so
of like six out of seven nights like sleeping doesn't
or maybe five out of seven. Yeah, but for a while,
from like month four to like month five and five
and thirty days was pretty terrible. But uh but you know,
as they say, you know how they I love the
term like she she woke up finally, you know, she
realized she was human and was like, yeah, what's this

(13:29):
terrible feeling of like, you know, I want to go
to bed? Yeah, but man, when she's awake, I'm telling you,
like she which is I feel like this is a
pretty common baby thing somewhat, but like we got really
lucky with her. She doesn't have any sort of like gas,
gas straw or whatever, so she is like completely healthy.
But she's just happy and like you could put her

(13:51):
in the middle of this floor and she could just
entertain herself for like an hour. She's just so content.
It's she's never uncomfortable. It's like she winds if she's
hungry or she's tired, and that is literally it Like
she's an easy baby for sure.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
That's awesome, dude.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, we're screwed for the for the rest, I don't
we were talking about a little bit, look ready for
But god, I don't know what we're gonna do because like, seriously,
where she's it's everything is just it's like this perfect
little thing, and I just know we're gonna have another
one and they're gonna be a freaking brat or something.
You know, it's just gonna be a lot harder, and
we're gonna have you know, having one kid is easy.
I don't care what anybody says, like, and we don't

(14:27):
have help, like we don't have a nanny or nothing,
like we're yeah, we're doing we're doing everything, you know,
just us and uh but man, I can't imagine having
you know, one that's you know, pooping in their diaper
and then the other ones you know, running around and
do it.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
I don't know. I just and your wife's getting her
nails done while that's happened. Oh man, I can't. Yeah, uh,
you know, man, it seems like the good ones do this.
Seems like the good baby ones they get you at
three dude, Oh really, yeah, it's like they wait to
turn the attitude on the wait to their three and
then they're a three major and they know everything. They're
really smart, they're young. Oh she's so smart, and then

(15:02):
she starts manipulating you when you're when she's three, and
she a girl girl, A little girl can too, right, dude,
my little girl's got, Jemmy's got she's got. I mean
I remember people telling me this, and it's the truth.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
You just don't know until you're in it. There's no
way for me to tell you what threes we have
three now, and there's no way for anyone to prepare
you for anything. So for me, it's just fun to
sit back and listen to how good she is. Now.
You're just sort of rubbing your hands together. Yeah, yeah, absolutely,
which all parents do. I mean, we we talk a
lot about kids on this, on this thing, but uh like,

(15:39):
because it's all we do, man, I mean, we we parent,
and we write songs and we and we try to hunt.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Sometimes, dude, I feel like it's only been six months
for me, but it's like your life.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Eighteen are going down.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
It's a good one, taking as his prep plat he's
breaking down out there, but it just seems like your
life is just like you just find time to do
what you want to do now, because it's just not
about I mean it literally.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
It's just it's not it's not about you.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Every single thing from like literally from like what I
noticed this other day, it's like do I have time
to go take a leak? All the way to like
how many shows should I play next year? Everything in between,
it all literally all around having a little kid.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
It's crazy. Yeah, you're you're speaking. And I think the
thing that like awoken in me was like assuming that
my life before them had been about me, right, Like
all of a sudden, I realized like, oh, all this work,
everything I've ever been doing was never for me to
prove myself to myself. It was all for them. Yeah,

(16:45):
like you completely just remove yourself from from all of that. Man,
It's just it's just ain't a by you anymore. Man.
Bether tell me one time we were I was over
at this place, right and he was like, so, he's like,
come on, man, like I think we had just had Griffin,
like our first one. He's like all right, like he
has number two, like let's go. And I was like, hey, man,
pumped the brakes, man. I was like I was like
we got to take a break. He's like, we are

(17:06):
you talking about you gotta? I was like, I don't
even know if we're gonna. He's like, no, you are,
he said, he said. And the reason he said, what
else are you gonna go back to living? For you?
You're already in you already jumped off the diabma. Huh yeah, yeah,
you're plan now ye just go. Man, It's so true,
you know.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
And we were talking about this too, like my mom
uh has two two older brothers uh and they are
both somewhere along the lines of sixteen and seventeen years
older than her. And now given like this was like
kind of like my grandmother's like second life a little
bit like in a way where like she kind.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Of did it and then started over. But it was
cool because she always wanted a little girl and it
was like special, YadA, YadA, YadA.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
But man, you know, we've always talked about how some
of these people have like the big like whoopsie daisy,
you know, like seven years, eight years, and it's like
I could not imagine because it's like I'm like, you guys,
like do them do them while you're still in that
phase of like you have to take care of the kid,
because it's like, I feel like you get more way
more comfortable when your kid is like completely competent, and
then you have to start back over.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
You know, Dude, I was told to never quit changing dippers. Yes,
like that, that's great. How many kids you want to
continue to change dippers because you're already in the And
that's the thing. It's like, it's normal, it's normal. It's
been normal for three years, right, So like you don't
want to have to readjust to it. Yeah, you don't
want to spend five years out of it and then
get back to Dude. I took out a grabbed a
dip propel this morning, and about I mean, the first

(18:30):
first baby, i'd have puked everywhere. But now it's like,
I'll borrow this from a friend of mine, But now
I feel like I could change the dipper and eat
a sandwich at the same time. That's awesome. All Right,
I'm gonna trip you out real quick on one thing
and then we'll get off this kid stuff. So my dad,

(18:51):
who's now fixing me seventy I asked him one time,
I said, Okay, of your memories, it's kind of hard
to explain, and I said it on this thing, but
just this is for your brain. So if you take
one hundred percent of your memories right you're seventy how
much of your memory bank is taken up by memories
of your kids? Oh my gosh. And he goes ninety

(19:13):
nine percent of it. That's amazing. And I said, okay,
so that out of your entire like out of that
memory bank. What percentage of your memories before you had
kids take of that bank? He was like two percent.
So think about your entire life so far that you
have lived, and by the time you get to seventy one,

(19:35):
you'll remember one percent.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, dude, especially like you know, I don't know, I
fully believe it. It's like but it's like, all we've
got to do some pretty cool stuff.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Man, and it's not gonna matter. Yeah, and we're young.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
I'm quite to seventy right now. Yeah, that's crazy, That's
what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Man. It was nuts.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
He was like, and honestly, you don't start living until
you have kids. Well, I mean it's dude, it's this
whole serendipitous like it is the reason that we are
sure not and definitely, you know, depending on what you believe.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
But but but if you if you split religion and
your you know, and and yeah, yeah, by laws of nature,
the reason that we are here is to have children.
And thankfully as humans we have a little bit extra
special free wheel sauce and stuff where we get to
like actually raise our kids and it means something. And
that's like the most special thing. I mean, it's the
most amazing thing in the world. Is the most amazing

(20:24):
thing in the world, and you can't really feel it
until you're in it, and then you go, oh, okay, okay.
I think part of the reason it's fill amazing is
is because it's so tough, it's so challenging. It just
it's just the reward is yeah, therefore rewarding.

Speaker 6 (20:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Actually, can I talk about rolling up on y'all at
that place when quickly so I roll up to meet
them in a spot. When I do, my kids jump
out of the truck and they're running and their kids
come out of the barn at the place where we
were at, no shirts on, no shoes, dirt and they're

(20:58):
running down the hill. They're like and read was like,
don't hug ok don't hug hugged him and We ended
up taking bottles of water at the end of that
day and like water, following him onto his kids with
wipes and just literally stripped him completely neck and just
wiped them all the way down. I mean, it's just

(21:19):
it's just part of it. Like you're just gonna have
there's gonna be dirt and everywhere those days like that's
that's hot, it's hall, it's hard. Those times are hard,
pouring water and wiping him and there's flying everywhere and
and cow manure and you know all that. But like
those are the times you talk about, like those are
the times, like man, I remember that day, like that

(21:40):
memory bank man that just kicked out a gig I
played and and that's Mississippi, you know what I mean,
It's so weird, but that's I remember that was so funny.
They came out and they just looked they'd just been
rolling and literally literally alright, was getting the what you're
mad at? Oh shoots glad at this morning? Man? We

is so out of character for you. Like all I
wanted to do was talk to my wife and my birthday.
You couldn't even answer the phone for the second.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Face was like I don't know what to say. I'm
just sorry, And I'm like, you're making it worse. You're
making it worse because you don't know what to say.
You don't even care. Yeah, so I felt you know
what to say next time. So that's a that's a
mad and glass. How good did you feel seeing that
baby when you walked in the man She had a
little dress thing on and said like daddy's little girl.

(24:43):
I just you know that. That's good? All right, I'm
glad at joint to this morning, driving down the road
as fast as we possibly can to get here relatively
close to on time. We were going to be close
to on time. And Jumps reads why hits us on
text and I can tell she's voice texting because it

(25:04):
didn't really make a whole lot of sense. There wasn't
any punctuation, but basically all Peter said was feeder side
of road before mall. So we're like, okay, there's a
feeder on highways sixty is now so look we're doing
seventy miles an Now I did tell you the story

(25:25):
outside that is unbelievable. The red goes, I said, dude,
Jordan just said, there's a feeder outside the road. But
she said the left side, which meant inside lane on
sixty five which at coming north. Yeah, oh yeah, you
gotta do some oh yeah, some maneuvering for sure. And

(25:45):
she said she said, might not be feeder. Just saw
my Yeah, she said my something right. So as a
hell of a wife. By the way, she knows you.
I mean my dad, I almost want if it wouldn't
take so much time, I would call Dad. Just see
you could hear how excited I was proud of us.
I was like, man, I don't know, dude, should we
risk our lives for this feeder? Look at the damn

(26:08):
traffic behind us. It wasn't even like a grass media
and it was just it was the I pulled tied
to the media and I couldn't open. So we're driving.
No legs though, just the drunk we got legs. So
we're driving, We're getting closer and and I'm like, man,

(26:28):
and I started doing the thing. I started doing the
pessimist like, it probably is not a feeder, man, It's
probably like a five gallon bucket or something. I love
my wife and and she's pretty good at that stuff.
But like I was like, probably be in a feeder.
Probably anymore our time, but just in case. We got
in the left side and stayed on the left lane,
just rolling down. You know, we pop over the hill.
We pop over and I was like, I was like, dude,
what if it's like a boss bug or something. And
Dan was like that'd be sick. And I was like,

(26:49):
but it ain't. We pop with a hill and and
Dan's like, there it is, and I was we were like.
I was like, we're not going to die over a feeder.
It this is crazy reading this boss walk and I
was like cars Like. I was like, I just need
a window to get out. Dam was so close to
the median he couldn't open his door. No, yeah, I

(27:11):
mean you can see it.

Speaker 6 (27:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
I laid on a window, I hopped out, ran and
got the thing. I mean, transfers are literally going by
and making my truck go yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
all over a two hundred dollars feeder. I started filming
and I was like, dude, I really don't want to
film must dying right here so over a feeder. So
I just I closed it up. I ran back there,
grabbed it through in the bag of a truck, through
a case of water in it and du we were

(27:35):
rolling I mean up, bro, good shame, dude, that's a
two hundred and fifty dollars some guy got.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
To freaking Kentucky exactly today, rolling up right now, and he's.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Like, wait, what the hell? Yeah. Literally, we were like,
that's a guy going to Kentucky. He might listen to
this podcast and if you appreciate you dog, if you do, man,
thanks for not giving it. Yeah, brother, showing this heeral number. Yeah,
we rolled up and Hardy was like, dude, he was
like feeder in the back and everything. I was like,
I ain't even even let's just wait.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
I didn't even like consider that just you know, since
it was y'all, I just I don't, you know, I
figured you might be going straight somewhere, you know, after.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
This or something. To know. Man, we uh we risked
our lives for two or fifty dollars feet Well, I'm
not even mad, dude. No, I just listened to Missippi
State podcasts just started in my own world, and good
for y'all. It's a great story. Yeah, hey, man, let's
talk about the game so far.

Speaker 6 (28:29):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
We look okay.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
I think we're I think we're gonna be I think
we're gonna win at least seven games. Man, I think
we're gonna start. I think we're gonna go into Tennessee
at home four to oh.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
That the Arizona State game was unbelievable. I just cried.
I cried. I cried, man, because you guys, when did
you start crying? We just cak it past the lamp. No,
when we when we intercepted, when I knew that we won,
because you know, they still had they had time whatever,
twenty secon ten seconds whatever it was. You never need
time to start war. Yeah, you got that, all right.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
But dude, because here's the deal and what people, you know,
people are like, like Dirk's texted me and was like because
he's a su guy, you know, and he was like
storing the field and beating the number twelve school and
I was like, man, listen. Arguably well not really because
Dan we had Dan Mullen, but we had Mike Leach
who the year he died, we went nine and four

(29:23):
okay in the SEC West before it before it was consolidated,
and that was an incredibly difficult was the key l
s u yeh a and m I mean it's just
oh miss uh no, not.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Like so hard. But anyway, all that being said, we
won nine games.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Uh we were we were doing this with and uh
he dies, he suddenly dies.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Uh and then we never bounce back from that.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
We hire our net, we don't win any games, and
then we h we hired uh Levy and we went
two games.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
Last year. Beating Southern Miss was a big deal.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Because cause, uh they they brought pretty much their entire
conference winning team from Marshall, so we knew that there
was a bunch of good players at Southern Miss.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
But winning this.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Game was the most important win what I think, in
our entire program's history. Because you lose that game, especially
if you lose that game close, you lose your fan base.
They quit tailgating. I saw it happen with Joe moorehead.
People stopped coming to games, people stopped caring. And dude,
what three or four losing seasons.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
In a row. Turn to Virginia, you lose, you turn
into a Virginia Tech firing their coach, getting beat by Delaware,
and the start all over and that's like five years.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
It takes years, but you win that game, and the
way that you the way that we won that game,
which was kind of not a miracle, but it was.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
It was. It was a miracle. Miracles for sure.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
And we stormed the field and now there's a buzz again.
And I'm telling you, you cannot convince me that those
players don't hold on like you don't. You don't lose
that game and then go win like three or four
sec games after that, like you that it was. It
was such an important win and everybody's fired up again
for the first time.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Since Dak I mean a long time.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah, since since we hired Leach and everybody was like, oh,
we're gonna be all right, and we won that.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah, it was. It was a monumental. So people don't
realize what that stood.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
It was more than just beating a top twelve team,
like it was massive for our program.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Is there any chance of us being like actually ranked?
I think we will be going into Tennessee? Yeah? Yeah
if if Yeah, we got him at home, dude. And
I will tell you another thing. You know, I was
thinking about this the other day because Cali was like,
why is that she went ole miss But she was like,
why is that even legal?

Speaker 1 (31:47):
With cow bells? And I was like, I don't know,
because you know, it is a major. Uh, it's a
it's a major distractor towards uh, your opposing team's offense.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
And they're already there. Everybody that comes to play and
Startville two the week before you can see you watch videos,
they're always showing them. Everybody, everybody's walking around to it.
Don't make a difference. You get sixty thousand people, Man,
I can't, but you could. You can hear him trying
to He's like, yes, they were, And then that just

(32:17):
makes it, you know what I mean. And your buddy's
picking on you, and you get mad. What's your buddy
to do? Pick on you more? You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (32:26):
You know it's funny too because there's so many people, uh,
I mean everybody. If you're not a State fan, that's
like I hate them. I hate the way they sound.
But man, I could be. You can have a guy
over here ringing one in the corner of this entire
podcast and I wouldn't even hear it, Like.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
You go to sleep. It's the best, dude, It's just
the best. It is the best. You already got a
little baby cow bell for your little girl? Yeah yeah, yeah,
so uh we have.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
So she has received some from other people, but I've
always said, like I want we're keeping them like put
away because I want when she's old enough to finally,
you know, one and kind of somewhat know what she's doing.
Maybe called two years old, bro, it's a I want
to be the first one to actually gift her and
give her her first cow bell.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
But she's something in the corner. But yeah, it's a
ride of pass. Is there any is there any old
miss like this? Cali die Hard on Miss? Yeah? Is she? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (33:13):
She doesn't know nothing about football team or nothing, but
she went there, so you know she's die hard And
uh yeah, her Rosie's closet has split fifty to fifty
for sure.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
That's amazing.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
I've been thinking about that's a Missippi love story right there.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Yeah, yeah, it is right Romeo and Juliet.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
I've been thinking about the week of the egg Bowl,
just taking all like finding every old Miss apparel that
Rosie has and hide somewhere.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah, oh yeah, so awesome. She'll probably be on a
red and white skirt and you do you like, can't
even I can't even see those colors together. It makes
me so I can't stand on Miss. Now. Look, I
made a whole lot of money off those fraternities over there.
So I appreciate that and I love for that, and

(34:00):
like Blue Rooster in the library and all that. Oxford,
Oxford stand alone is a great town. I think.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
I like the town of Oxford, the restaurants, the ball jacks. Yeah,
I know, I know, but I hate All Missed. There's
I just can't do it. I mean, Tombstone.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
If I ran a successful business and I had a
guy I loved and he came in and he said
he graduated from All miss you wouldn't. I would have
trouble higher. I'm serious, for you. I hated that much.
I hate it more than making money, honestly, and I
love making money. That's what makes it. That's what made
college football great, dude, That's what makes in state rivalry
is great. It's it's what that's what feel because because

(34:43):
the same thing about them. Dude, they hate our guts. Yeah,
they think we're just trash. They were past your trash. Yeah, dude,
I love it. That is what I Okay, this is
a great little segue to this question. I was going
to ask what I want to know what the most
redneck and the least redneck thing about y'all is us.

(35:04):
Oh geez, I'll go first. And there's an example of the
least redneck thing right now in my life. Every night
before I go to bed, I have hand moisturizer by
my on my nightstand that I put. That's your least
right now, that's the least least. That's the least too. Yeah,
because there's tons I said most right, there's tons of
most redneck things. The least redneck thing I do right
now is put hand most moisturizer on every night. That's

(35:25):
pretty that's pretty bad. Yeah, that's that's that's very not
redneck for sure. I got expensive underwear now, oh that's good.
Bamboo Yeah, yeah, I do too. Wait is that a
good one?

Speaker 1 (35:36):
I just got some Hanes and they're they're like nicer
to step up from what I've had.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
There's bamboo cooled. I'll go da Amazon Bamboo cool. Yeah,
that's what that's literally what it called. But that's not
the most expense. It's not the most expensive. I got
some sacks too, That's what I'm saying. I don't like
the sack. I like some sacks. Man, this bamboo sax anyway,
sax don't that's probably my least redneck is like expensive.
I threw away my Hanes this morning. Okay, for sure,
I got some Vory shirts that I love. Yeah, but

(36:01):
you wear VNX, so it's different. No, this is not
a van I don't wear VNX anymore. After mom, after
Mom called me what she called me, I don't I
don't want to tell me out there? Should we? I'll
make it real fast. Read got We're telling this just
super fast. Read came home one night of age. He
was like twenty two. He had a little had a
little Christmas, a little bit of liquoric breath. I didn't drive.

(36:25):
I was very responsible. My dad's mad about it. My
mom was back in the day. Oh yeah, I was
twenty two years old, back in the day. Legally it
was good. My mom was so much. She's mad all week.
You want to tell it because you'll say I tell
her wrong. I final s too lost story shirt short.
I get home at four o'clock the story shirt for sure,

(36:45):
I get I get home in the morning. Dad's awake
at four o'clock in the morning. I tried to I'm
just saying I'm sorry Dad. Me and Dad are have
an awesome conversation. Mom opens the door. She comes in
just beraates me. Dude, tells me, I'm just a disappointment
all this stuff. She's gonna be I didn't you did?
So I wake up next morning, she's in the kitchen
just scrubbing these pants hardest. She well, I'm like, morning mom.

(37:09):
She just looks at me like this. She's like, is
it a good morning? Read? And I walk out you
can walk? I walk outside and I hear the door
open behind me and closed, and I'm like, she comes,
can talk to you please? I was like, yes, ma'am.
I walk out there and she's still crubbing this pant.
She's like, it's wife Pastors. She was like, last night,
of course, do I just say the whole I mean,
I can say the whole thing, right. She was like,

(37:30):
last night, when you were talking about drawing your own convictions,
she was like, having to go through things you felt
to draw your own convictions about things? What exactly did
you mean? And I was like, Mom, like I said,
like drinking, like smoking a cigarette like two years, going
to parties. Yeah, I'm responsible. I didn't dry. She's like,

(37:50):
she was like, well, what about homosexuality? Read? Did you experience?
Have you experienced that you have to go through that
to it to know how you felt about it. And
I was like, she's a good point. I mean, I know,
I was like, I was like, no, she goes well,
I don't know, you wear a bunch of venus. That's crazy.

(38:11):
I'm sorry. I'm sorry to maybe tell that mom my
girlfriend loves Jack Crew. Mom, Dude, that is unbelievable. That's good,
my girlfriend likes Jack Crew. Wow. Oh yeah, okay, least
least rednick thing about you. Well, speaking of shirts, which

(38:31):
is very much the opposite of like the exact opposite
of a v neck. But Hendley's, by the way, for everybody,
I would I would say that my like, my big
like if Callie and I go to like a fancy
like a charity dinner or something and I have to
dress up, my go to now is a is just
a big old, tall black turtleneck, dude, and I just
look like a straight douche. But I like it. And

(38:52):
that is very much the least redneck thing. It was
a little cute little gold chain. Yeah I barely but
I remember it. Yeah, man, that's great. The most redneck
thing is that if you walked in and had three
cookies with or if you had six cookies with three
inch thick slices of belvita between them, I would eat

(39:13):
all of them. Cookies and cheese is a good Redneck
thing to eat. It's like poor Man's cheesecake. And it's good.
It's good. It's good. Mine. Mine's food related to Okay,
sardines to this day, no way, Yeah, to this day.
It's a Mississippi thing, dude. Our granddad loves started. I mean,
it's just like it's like we have all these you know, calis.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
She's not granola, but she's you know, very very health consciousness.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Just like imagine anything that's whatever free and whatever, this
and that and then just a stack of camps touched. YEA,
drink the juice, dog, I can't drink the juice. That's
the most think about it. If you drink the juice,

(39:57):
it's just salted from out jelly. Just get anymore.

Speaker 6 (40:02):
Ye dang.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Uh, dang, dude, what this is? What is this? That's
a grindstone? It's a nutting stone. What depends on where
you found it? Where'd you found it? About? You find
it in a field. See, I would call that a
little cannon ball, I said, that I was walking out
of the Turkey woods, facetimed you matter of fact, and
you didn't answer, which is fine. I was walking out

(40:29):
of the woods turkey hunting and I found this. It
was I would say, hoe and walled ish off of
nashis trace how far away from a running water? Not
far close, like one hundred yards, No, like it was
it was on a I was walking up a ridge.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
Yeah, it's a it's a it's a part of a
nutting stone. So then so like my today kind of
is what they'd call it. But you there's a flat
rock and they just whatever they had, whatever they you know,
if they were grinding up stuff to make paint or anything,
they just they'd have a flat rock and nuts or something.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
They just be it up in there. That's artifact. Yeah,
that's an artifact, really, one thousand million percent. Man, have
you ever found another spherical rock like that ever in
that area? Then that's an.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
Artifact because nature repeats itself, if that makes sense. So,
like if you go to San Diego, there's a million round,
smooth stones all over the beach really like this, well yeah,
even smoother than that. But like if you found a
stone like that in Tennessee, like on the river bank.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
It doesn't belong there, made by man see. Loot told me.
He was like, you know what Hardy tells me is
just look for anything. He said that, you told him
look for any if anything catches your eye disrupts the
flow of like what we're looking at. I mean this
was on a on a on like a ridge on
a loggerol ridge system where some water head ran. Yeah,

(41:49):
and it was just like that was sticking out and
I was like, man, I thought it was it might
have been like a cannonball or something. Civil Wars ish
older older much older. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, America
a thousand years older.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
You know what's crazy is the the its counterparts probably
ten feet underground somewhere right around there.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Usually like typically when they would leave camps, you know,
and just leave behind stuff they didn't necessarily need. That's
something that they can remake, Yeah, exactly. They would just
leave it sitting right there, you know, dirt covers it
up eventually, and it's.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Like, how old do you think that might be? It
could be well, I mean probably anyway from a thousand
to like three or four thousand maybe. Wow.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Yeah, that's pretty cool. They are like Native American stuff
is old. People don't realize how old a lot of
that stuff is.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
Yeah. Yeah, that's a real that's a real deal man.
That's cool. So so like so what how what how?
What is what some pay me for the twenty bucks? Okay, yeah,
keep it. I'm keeping it, Yeah, I keep it. I
mean I'm never what's what's three thousand years ago? Is that? Like?
Was this? Well? That's that's uh? I was hoping you're
seven hundred and seventy five BC.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
D BC AD BC BC Yeah, because two thousand twenty
five was oh that's right, so no excuse me, it
would be.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Y'all doing math right now. It would be like no,
it wouldn't be seven it would be one thousand.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Yeah, no, no, no, that's right, seven hundred and seventy
five BC.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
Yeah, old testament. Man, that's a long time.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
But dude, there's artifacts I find artifacts all the time
in Tennessee that are nine thousand years old, like Archaic
early Archaic period.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
All the time, all the time. Like what you say
all the time? What does that? I mean? How do you.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Like like a huge, a very large chunk of this
area's artifacts were like this was a very frequently visited
area for Archaic natives that came through here. Okay, it
was really good hunting land or whatever it was, because
they didn't farm back then, and Archaic there was no farming.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
They didn't start farming.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Until like way on maybe like they called the Woodland period.
Maybe even past that, I can't really remember. Maybe then
there's like the Mississippian period, which is still like a
thousand years ago.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
But yeah, it's only fallen herds, right yeah, yeah, yeah,
and that herds of animals they only hunted for like ever,
for thousands and thousands of years. They didn't even know
how to farm. Yeah, So if a guy like myself,
I've literally never found an airhead, that's the coolest thing
I've ever found, by far. Jordan found one on a
golf course. I was supposed to bring it and show
it to you, but I sent it to Luke and

(44:22):
he was like, yes, scraper. He's like, it's exactly what
was The tip was broke off of it, but it
was about it reworked. He was about that big yeah,
but it was like broken off so it was like that,
and he was like, yeah, it's a scraper, totally Okay,
So if I have never found like a full era ahead,
I've lived in Tennessee my whole life. I'm outside all
the time, been outside my entire life. We grew up outdoors,

(44:43):
Like what, how would you tell me I have places
I can go like look or whatever? Like how do
you even tell a guy, Hey, this is what you
should do to find an air Like what are your broads?
I know I'm broad stroking here?

Speaker 6 (44:55):
No?

Speaker 2 (44:55):
No, I like really simple answer. Okay, avigable by foot.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
I guess you would say running water like any creek
or anything you can like walk by by foot that
has like gravel beds of any kind. Yeah, one hundred
percent will have an arrowhead in it somewhere in the
crew in percent water laid.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
Well just anywhere.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
It could be up high up on the gravel bed like,
but if it's below the walls the ceiling of the
ditch or creek, if that makes sense at all, on
the creek floor, if it has like significant like pilings
of giant rocks, they're somewhere in there, will one hundred
percent be an airhead. Because they lived here for like
twelve thousand years and they found everything. They lived everywhere,

(45:37):
every inch of running water in America, they lived on
a hill close to it.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
It's in there one hundred percent. There were twenty two
million of them at one point.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
You know, like that's undeniable. The other one is broken ground.
Next we're very close to high water or excuse me,
running water. So like if you plow a field that's
right next to a creek or river, they're in there.
You could look all day one hundred percent. Hmmm, the
next time, y'all, If y'all the next time, y'all.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
Plant or whatever.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
Yeah, uh, if you're if you have any that are
it's got to be Usually it's like within like a
stone's throw like it's it's it's the the field right
next to the creek. Usually it's like but if you
have anything like that, And then if you want to
get real weird, you go find like a lower spot
and lay on the ground and if it's pretty flat,
look and if you find like an even just the

(46:26):
smallest like hump uh, that's that would typically probably back
in the day, was a lot more significantly high, and
they would live there because that they knew that wouldn't flood.
So if you go there, that's probably where most of
the artist like the stuff you're gonna find like the highest,
the most density stuff.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
You're gonna find.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
That's so cool, cool, dude, I guarantee you if you
if you start like walking creeks or or looking in
in loose dirt around around uh rivers or creeks, and
within a year you'll find one.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
The most of you.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Most of the time people are like, I don't know,
like you know, I can't find one.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
It's because you're just not like really looking.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
But if every single time walking in or out of
the woods, if during the day or whatever it is,
if you look in that dirt every single time, you're
gonna start finding stuff. It's weird how it pops out.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
It's awesome. So when you go like on a I know,
I know, or I'll hurry. I'm just so interesting if
you so, if you like, when you go on like
a like I'm going looking for airheads today at this spot,
when you get out of the truck, you and hunter
or whoever, what do you do? What's the what do
you what's the move you find the water immediately take
shoes off. You got your freaking gravel walking shoes on,

(47:33):
walking through there looking it depends on where you go.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
But like, yeah, like if we're gonna go to like
there's a creek kind of towards Ashland City that we
go to and we have you know, we park at
this person's house and we just hop down on the
creek and we'll just you know, if it's me and Hunter,
he'll he'll go hide, I'll go low, or vice versa.
And you'll just literally take a step every ten seconds
and you're just like scanning.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
You're just scanning rocks, looking at the ground.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
Yeah, and big the biggest giveaway is that you'll find
flakes of flint, like the stuff that they're made out of, like,
and they could be small or big, but that's always
an indicatory Nine times out of ten, you find that
before you find an artifact. Really, so you're like, okay,
if I find a flake of you know what's coming
around here is it's called fort pane chirt and that's
like this gray kind of flints what most of the airhead.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
Are made out of. Yeah, but like you'll just find.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
A flake and you're like, Okay, I will put this
on because I know that there's artifacts in here. If
you're finding flint every time, because it's not natural. And
just basically they had a big like they called it
a spall. It's just this big hunk of rock and
they would take actually a deer horn and they would
like grind it down so it was rounded on the
end and they would just beat around it until it

(48:43):
was a flat disk. And then they take the other
end of the deer horn and they would just hold
it and peck at it until they peck away like
a perfect era, and.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
All that's all that excess.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
If they break off, they would just you know, be
on the ground, go on the grass or whatever, and that.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
Eventually washes into the creeks or stays in the fields
or whatever. And that's the flint that you find all
the time. And I switched. Have you found anything cool lately? Man?

Speaker 1 (49:03):
The last thing I found that was really good was
at Landy and Duck's house.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
I posted it and it was just an old, old,
old archaic piece.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
Called a big sandy and it was just like this
big It was just a big spearhead.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
It's just a gangster. Where did you find it?

Speaker 1 (49:21):
They have a creek that runs kind of through their property,
and about a year and a half ago, well, Duck
just had told me. He was like, I think there's
some arrohoods in here. Like we bought it from the
owner and the owner said my daughter used to walk
in and find aarheads.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
I was like, well, okay, cool, let's go.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
And then one day we went, I found a really
nice one, and then didn't go for like a year,
and just went back one day and I mean, within
like I swear, it was like thirty seconds of looking,
it was just right there.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
So I got so lucky. I'll send y'all, I'll send
y'all video. And it was just laying there. It was
just like a peace sticking out.

Speaker 6 (49:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
I mean this one was kind of just tucked in
between some rocks.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
But again, like that's the thing where like you have
to really like it's like try an error or like
you have to know what you're looking for, because you're
looking for what they call like a worked edge. So
and it's just like that chiseled how you know, like
an arrowhead and it has this little it's just like
the chiseled out looking.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
Yeah. That's because sometimes it can be this and then
you pull it out and it's this long, you know
what I mean. Like and sometimes it's just laying perfectly
on top of everything, like you just it's just like
another rock in the you know, on the gravel bed.
It could be hidden or it could be So would
use those probably a knife, yeah, just wrapping it around.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Yeah, I mean they're all called arrowheads, but ninety percent
of them, probably ninety five percent of them where blades
are even like what you'd call it kitchen tools. They
look cool, but they they had them tied onto a
deer horn and they just cutting you know, pickrapf feathers, whatever, Yeah,
and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
I strongly encourage you to because dude, once you I
got like Randy, Like Randy is taking a big interest
and now it's like, oh, he's.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
Gonna five out plows a field just to look for arrowheads.
He doesn't even do anything else because I think it's
gonna rain next week. I'm gonna plow this field. And yeah,
it's a really good thing to man. Yeah, absolutely absolutely,
And he can do it all your long. That stuff
is I mean literally the only people that I've ever

(51:13):
touched it or them, that's my favorite thing about it.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
It's like you find like they call it a projectile point,
like some of you know, it is like a spearhead
and you're like, man, some guy probably like half my
age made this and was running around hunting like the
same animals like deer and stuff that we're hunting today.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
It's like, that's just cool, man, that's sick.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
Times haven't changed that much, you know, at the at
the bare bones of it all, I think that's really cool.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Yeah, that's pretty nice. What's that what you're deer hunting?
What are you doing? Dude? I'm I I'm waiting on
my world's biggest six point to get back. We're still
talking about that deer. Well, I got him out and
I shouldered it.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
So I've been thinking. He said it's it's going to
be around. He said it'd be close to a year.
Uh and that was in December, but he said it
he might have it done by like Halloween. So I'm
I'm getting ready to see I hadn't seen him yet.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
Tell us the story, dude. It's kind of boring, but
it's kind of funny.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
At the same time I landed, I'd done like a
run of shows and uh or something.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
I was gone. I was really tired. He didn't He
didn't tell this on the last one, right, No, no, no, no,
because I haven't. Yeah, I've killed it since after that
last one.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
But uh, I texted Hunter and I was like, you
want to go and he was like no, and that
we're like an hour.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
And a half south of town. Our Shelbyville area is
where we are. And uh, anyway, it was going to rain,
and it was just like, you know, one of the
lasts December ninth or seventh, the last days you're pushing it.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And uh anyway, I stopped at Burger
King like halfway down there, down sixty five. I got
a little I can't remember what I got. I need
to remember, though, but I got. It was like a
I got like a double cheeseburger and like a little
five piece of nugs. In My receipt was seven dollars

(52:59):
and seventy seven since. And I sent that picture to
our deer our deer camp thread and I said it's
triple seven.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Come on, so by yourself, by myself. Yeah, nobody else
was even hunting that day.

Speaker 1 (53:11):
I was the only one out there and I knew
it was gonna rain, and uh it was kind of dark,
and I was like, man, I'm gonna go sit in
this muddy that's like on this very backfield.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
And uh, I love those days. By the way, man,
a rainy fun. Let me tell you if you listen
to this, if you don't know a wind to hunt,
let me tell you a day you got to hunt
is a front, Yes, a north wind front, weather changes.
Hunt the beginning, hunt, the front of them, in the
back of them. Yeah, dude, yeah, well this, I mean

(53:42):
this was so uh let's see, it was like it
wasn't even it was like fifty five degrees typical Tennessee December,
just like super normal.

Speaker 1 (53:51):
Actually it was almost fairly I would almost say maybe
even warmer than that. Yeah, but anyway, I'm sitting in
this field. Hunter texted me, uh, and he was like, hey, uh,
they're uh. He sent me a picture of a good
deer and he was like, I think this deer is
going to pop out in your field, like three hundred
yards away.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
I was like, all right, I'll look for him. What
time is it? Probably about four or fifteen? Are you
getting there? Ten after something like that?

Speaker 1 (54:15):
And uh, sure enough, I see, you know, this buck
come out and he's too far to shoot, but he's
a long way off, and and and then you know.
Out come with him is like ten does a bunch
of little deer and there, I mean, they're just it's
it's I'm having a fun just watching them through the
scope and they're running around and doing their thing. Another
young buck comes out all that, and then I and
then I put my gun back in the window and

(54:36):
uh and I look out in front of me and
at seventy five yards there's this deer and nobody had
ever seen before.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
And it's like a four or five hundred acre piece
of property.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
You know, you even think, yeah, nobody'd ever seen this
deer before.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Though they're moving. They're still moving from from you know
that that post run, this second rudish and second thing
they're still looking for dose. Well he this this one
was he was just straight chill, dude. He's so long
story short. I sent a picture. I sent a picture
of him to Hunter and I was like, have you
seen this steer And he was like, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
My picture yeah yeah. I mean, you know, he wouldn't
worry about nothing. He was just eating and I mean, dude,
long story short. I ended up sending Hunter video and
I was like, you know, I was like, you don't
have this steer at all, and I was like, I
think he's a pretty big, pretty big for six point,
and he was old, you know, I could tell, and
so I said, I'm probaly gonna shoot him if that

(55:27):
there was a really big eight point. I had been
hanging around, and I was like, if I don't randomly
see this other big deer, I might shoot the steer
because it's like one of the last days of deer season.
And anyway he go, it gets like to be about
dark and he goes to walk off and I shoot him,
and uh man, it was perfect. He ran just kind
of back like fifty yards and fell and I was
super excited. I didn't even go go down there and

(55:48):
look at him. I just left all my stuff.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
I left my backpack, my gun and everything at the
stand and went straight to my truck because I was
watching the radar and I was like, man, the bottom
is about to follow one of those winter rains where
it just rains and rains and rains. So I get
back to my truck and it's like a fifteen minute walk,
like it's like a like an one thousand yard walk
back to my truck. And I realized that my freaking

(56:11):
keys were in my backpack. I left at the bottom
of the deer stand, dude.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
So I walked back to the deer stand and I
get my keys, and then I walked back to the
truck and I just pulled down there and just definitely,
you know, I was like kind of worried, uh, pleasantly surprised,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
I'm sure I've had that. It's just oh yeah, you know,
you never know almost always, but yeah, yeah, yeah, And
I was like, damn, I had really good masks. I
could tell he was old, and I was like, all right, school, yeah.
I took a bunch of pictures.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
So h Anyway, by the time with all the rim
roll of like forgetting my keys and all that, and
I had to load him up by myself and you know,
all get it get out of there and all that.
Long story short, I live in Green Hills, dude, and
I ain't got no skinning rat, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
We're suburban life right now. So I called Randy and
I was like.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
Hey, can I come gut this deer at your your
That's where you sent me the picture from was at
Randy's barn, I think, so yeah, it was it was,
And I'm calling I'm calling, uh is it Flowers, I'm
calling everybody, and nobody will take a dere It's too
late at this point and it's not cold enough yet
to just leave him in the back of my truck.

(57:18):
So I'm freaking out and I don't have any freezer space.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
And nobody did.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
And uh so I called shame Prophet and I was like, hey,
and I had never met this guy in my life,
but he and I had been talking about deer hunting
a lot and just like sending pictures of arrowheads and
all that, and he is he's a he is a
real one. And I said, uh and I wanted to
I wanted to shoulder mountain this deer. And I've never
I've I've skinned a bunch of deer, but I've never

(57:44):
capd properly caped a buck and not screwed it up, you.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
Know, Mississippi. Of course, very I'm very open about that.
I've never known that. But uh no, that's a different thing,
by the way, listeners, Caping a deer out for and
skinning a bus, it's two totally different things. Well, yeah,
because you can screw up, you can use you can't
screw up a cap for you know, you know you
don't need to. Yeah, yeah, well you can't screw up

(58:07):
skin on one, but you can screw up a cape
very easy. Yeah, And I'm afraid of it. So yeah,
I texted Shane and I was like, dude, I'm in
a tight right now.

Speaker 7 (58:15):
And it's by the way, dumping rain, just like absolute
pouring rain, of course, and it's like eight pm at
this point, you know, it finally gets forty five minutes
back to Randy's house whatever anyway.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
So sure enough, I was like, dude, can you can
you do you? A? Do you have somebody that we
can give this deer to? Yeah? And b can you
can you cape out this deer? Because I just don't
know how to cape out of buck? And he was like,
I got you. So I drive from Randy's house an
hour and ten minutes in the pouring rain.

Speaker 1 (58:41):
To Columbia to see and pull up and Shane's out
there and we just like hung out and and he
caped this deer out and then we drive another twenty
minutes into like actual the town of Columbia.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
Gave it to some old boy in the hood. He
was happy as hell to get it and then uh
that was it.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
But I got home at like ten pm that night,
and I've got this, you know, this deer head in
the back and Cali like I opened the door and she's.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
Like, what where the hell?

Speaker 3 (59:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (59:06):
Yeah, yeah, but uh it's fun and it was kind
of a yeah, I never that's the first, Like, that's
actually the first buck I've killed in Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
I think it's got to be. He's a stomper. Well,
but the point is I didn't have a plan in
place at all, and like I kind of kind of uh, yeah,
I don't know. It kind of inspired me, Well, next time,
have it together. Your boys are down there. Yeah, I
don't know why I didn't call you. I'm really I'm
really sorry about that. Well, actually, I don't know how

(59:36):
much we could have helped. We didn't really have space
sending y'all pictures and stuff. You might have been in
Kansas you sent me. Uh, I was because I remember
sitting that picture. I was like, I think that's Randy's
born because all I saw was the picture he gave
in the back of the truck and it was late
and I was like, hey, it's late, where's he at?
And then I was like, I think it looks a
lot like Randy's born. But next time I'll have a

(59:58):
By the time this season around, if you kill a
dude out there, bring boys shop, dude. I say something
else too, man.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Hunting the rut is awesome, but I have killed I
think the last like three years, I have killed a
deer late in season just eating.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
Rye crass late season. It's kind of a cheeky. You're busy,
like I mletna tell you something. Don't want to try
that hard. We do it every year late scenes of Deadly.
We do it every year in Tennessee. If you can,
if you can, if you've got time to plant, if
you've got time to just put grass, winter peas ride.
Well that's why I don't freak out about not having
our food pluts in yet even this year, because we
don't even hunt them until December. Yeah, and I mean

(01:00:32):
we get them in the me we hunt them, but yeah,
but I mean you get them in in October because
they really post rut. They're coming back to that food
source and there's nothing else if you've had enough rain
and all that, and their sours like yeah, yeah, yeah,
and they're gonna stand in those acorns, and they're gonna
they're gonna stay there until they're gone, and then right
when they right when they turn, they've been sitting on
the ground too long and they usually when they turn,

(01:00:53):
it's rut time, right, so they're interested in that. But
post rut, there's no acorns, there's no everything's dead starving.
You have any kind of food out there, that's the
time they're trying to build up again. They're trying to
build up protein.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
Yeah, it's kind of a it's but it's always like
this buck came out early, but me and my dad
both have killed like a pretty decent, like some pretty
good deer, Like at dark it's like a clockwork man,
this cold, windy afternoons, like seven point I shot last year,
that big seven point I shot last year was like
that was after Christmas, you know, I passed him in October.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Yeah. Remember the first time we ever saw him was
the first time. I mean, I didn't mean that. I
was just saying, like on me, But the first time
I saw him was was pouring down rain and he
walked out in that food. He sent us a video
is like should I shoot this deer? Me and Dad
were like absolutely My answer if you send me a
video like that is always yes, because I want to

(01:01:48):
go to your house and drink beer and look at
it for an hour and a half. It's older for
me to shoot a deer that I don't know, like
like if like if I see a deer that walks out,
that's a mature deer. It's a big deer. But you've
never seen him. But I've never had pictures of him.
I don't know, like I hadn't studied how old he is. Yeah,
it's hard for me to quote unquote pull the trigger,
you know. And and and so I didn't that day,

(01:02:09):
you know. And and looking back, I mean he was
a very word Yeah, I want to see a picture
of He was a very worthy dear, you know. And
and Dan shot him. I think it was the last
day of season. Yeah, at dark, and he's an awesome
deer dude. And I ended up killing a great deer.
But exactly what you exactly what you just said about, Uh,
it was at I mean it was like dark when
I shot that. I mean that deer walked out of

(01:02:30):
seventy five yards and I was like, oh that's him.
So I'm older, doe, they know, Dude, I feel like
those old deer like you were talking about, like you're six,
my seven, I feel like they the guard goes down
a little bit when it's after a lot of people.
Well there's no pressure, yeah, a lot of people. And
during the week. I know, I know that sounds weird,

(01:02:51):
but like, yeah, there's not a bunch of stinks sticking
up the woods. And you know what I mean, there's
something about it, man, you know that's not we I
have a hunt property that you know, I'm slowly trying
to expand in Mississippi and Nashoba County and uh, just
with like our family, like some of our families moved
off to Vicksburg, and my dad's kind of just getting.

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
Older and he's not hunting really hard anymore. My grandfather's
gone and my you know, my both my uncle. Anyway,
the people, there's zero pressure these days. And I have
the property right next to it. There's a ton of
pressure because some new guys have moved in. And dude,
I've killed a good deer on there. I went like
ten years without killing a really good deer out there, yea,
and like three years in a row now I've killed
And I think it's just because it stays dead silent

(01:03:32):
out there until it's a refuge. It's a refuge for it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
I'll tell you that nobody's out there that has so
much to do with it. Some of the people freak
out when they have neighbors come in start hunting hard.
Oh they're shooting everything. They're been there. But a lot
of times, a lot of times it will what it'll
do is it'll push. It'll make that area that they're hunting,
that that area, it'll make it a no go like
a like a nozone for those big deer, and they'll
just go to they'll go to unpressured land. And I

(01:03:55):
mean if you're property sitting there in Misissippi and don't
get touched but a week in January, yeah, pretty much there.
Especially if they got food, if they got water, if
they got sheltered, I mean the nose, they're going to
stay there. Yeah. Okay, there's there's the six point. Yeah,
I forgot about that. There is this the back the
truck bed picture. Yeah, let me see I there. Yeah,

(01:04:15):
he was a hammer. That's a hammer, six bro hammer,
the world's biggest six points. That's a great, dear man.
I just yeah, he's I don't know, Alex. No, it's
a guy down and it's a guy down in uh Lewisbourg.
But he's really good. Shane actually Shane, Shane hooked me
up with him and he's he did, shoot he mightn't do.

(01:04:38):
You all have somebody down there he's I don't even
remember his name, but uh, Tennessee, I think he did.
Uh he does a couple of like I know he does,
like Tyler Fars Tyler's down there. Yeah, he's right, he does.
The ones that I saw in the shop were really good,
really well done.

Speaker 7 (01:04:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
You know how you can test like the eyes. The
eyes are always like yeah, if they look like if
they look like somebody took my scare out and just
did a solid circle. Yeah yeah. Uh man, Yeah, I've
got you should be getting back pretty soon. Mine. Mine's uh,
mine's ready that I killed in Kansas, Like, will go
pee him up? Where do y'all? Who does y'alls? We

(01:05:15):
have a couple of different guys. We got our our
hometown guy who's really great. He did he did actually
he didn't do that, dear, but Turkey Turkey as bad ass.
And then we got shout out Craig garrel out Craig girls,
give me he's been back leather on deer skin right now.

(01:05:35):
He's mount a bove right now. But he covers up honestly,
and sometimes like if we have a crazy year, we
have to kind of disperse a little bit. So yeah,
for sure, Alex and Franklin down there. The text ermy
is what he calls it, and uh t e he does.
He had it Wilson's tax Dermy and he got sued
or something that I was about to and so he
changed it to just the taxi. Wow. He does really

(01:05:57):
great work too. Both those guys did great work. Anytime
you got anything going on in a spot, yeah, called
your boys.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
I don't know why, but we were talking. I feel
like y'all must have been out of town or something.
You were I just got back of the text you
were in king I was probably hunting Kansas. I was
here though, next time I got you. I'm sorry, Bro,
don't be sorry. No, I mean honestly, I was probably
cooking eggs, were changing dippers. Yeah, I ain't got much
time anyway, but I ain't here.

Just take me as I.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
Comptymen, Bottom done this before. Oh but thank you man,
I'm exciting for everything. Oh yeah, was it the same?
Was it your same? Was it your same record process

(01:09:42):
and record making process? Did you write for a long
time and just take the ones you love or did
you have a certain you know, did you sit down
and go, Okay, we're writing for my record today. A
little bit of both. I mean, obviously this record being
I don't mean to interrupt you, but like for the
listener out there, you're writing, you don't write just for you, man,
like you not the right songs?

Speaker 1 (01:10:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
Yeah, definitely songwriters all the time, and a lot of
a lot of guys don't in your position, and a
lot of artists, you know, when they write, they they're
writing a certain idea for them that day. Yeah, but
you kind of do it both. You kind of go back,
you play, you play your Travis Hunter in that thing man. Yeah,
that's pretty much how it is.

Speaker 1 (01:10:19):
I Mean there's been times where like I'll sit down
and I'll have an idea or whatever, and I'm like,
this is a this is a me song. And then
there's times where there's there's songs that I've like written
and thought like that's pretty good, and then like after
a week be like, man, I should probably cut that,
Like that's you know what I mean, Like that's my thing.
So it's a little bit of both, but I definitely, uh,
you know, having done like a real actual rock record

(01:10:40):
last year, I just wanted to. I was like, Okay,
it's time to put out like hence kind of that's
my like smart ass way of being like, here's.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
Your country record is like country country. And then yeah,
you know, there's a couple of songs with country and
the title there.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
I think there's seven or maybe eight, And after after
about the fourth one, I definitely with an attention, was like,
let's let's go what's every euphemism with the word money
or something that I can change it into country and
let's write.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
A song about it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
Yeah, yeah, that's fine, but I'm stoked, man, that's I
think it's uh, you know, I had two years to
try to just get the best like twenty that I
could and just hope everybody likes it just kind of
throw it out there and pray, like every every other record,
you know, talk to.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):
Me about Buck on the Wall. Yeah, man, that was uh,
you know I wrote that with uh with our.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
Boy Jamo and I love that Jamison Rogers, Jeb Gibson,
and I love Matt Traction, Yeah faction, And uh that
was a retreat song. My grandfather had passed back in January,
and uh, it was it was right after you were
on our show.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
Actually, I'm sure it was. Yeah, it probably wasn't much longer.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
And yeah, so Jamison actually had that idea and he
threw it out and and uh and I was all
about it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
But you know, what's the cool thing about that song is.

Speaker 1 (01:11:59):
That, you know, it describes my actual like our deer
camp back home, like our camp house and all that
in the first verse and then it talks about this
buck on the Wall and it's.

Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
All very very true.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
But I wrote that song prior to the next deer
season and uh, so like the rest of that song
became true that year because I killed a deer and
Jamison was with me, dude, which is so crazy, so
sick man, it was like and it was funny they
were they were down there and and uh, we had

(01:12:30):
a bunch of pictures of some deer and like deer
we'd never saying. They were moving like crazy. And it
was one of those mornings where it was like rain
raining a lot at night, I think, and the moon
was weird, and we were like, let's go in at
like eight thirty, you know, or so and let everything
sort of chill out a little bit. And dude, sure
I had ten thirty. I mean, you know, sometimes if
you go in at five point thirty, ten thirty is
getting around, you know, depending on you know, if you

(01:12:51):
train four you're get hungry. It's like, let's get out
of here. Yep, like ten thirty, ten thirty five. This
book came out and and uh, anyway, the fact that
Janie was what was there with me and and uh,
you know, it's like I wrote that the rest of
that story into existence was really special.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
I took that deer into town to show my grandma
and she talked about, you know, how proud he come,
would love to see it. And it was awesome. It
was a great here. And you know, but he probably
pushed that book up. Its great that was it was good.
So that's a special one. That's a special special part
of the record for sure, not to take away from
the record, but to go back to deer. But but

(01:13:30):
let's be honest. I mean, we've talked a lot about
like memories and and then that stuff in this podcast,
even with kids and stuff like that. But man, standing
around LEAs, I'm getting redneck bomps right now, right now
and thinking about this, I'm glad to around the bed
of a truck with a deer laying in the bed

(01:13:52):
of the truck, and the and some light coming from somewhere,
whether it's the the cargo bay, lie that coming forward
to truck one coming on iPhone's dark by the time
you do that, right, unless it's a morning thing. But
usually for some reason in my head at night, it's
at night and it's dark, but everybody's faces are lit

(01:14:15):
up around the bed of that truck, all staring in
the back of the This story has been told forty times,
but you just want to hear it one more, dude.
That is about as good as it gets.

Speaker 1 (01:14:26):
I think that there is like a caveman instinct where
like we've been doing that for like since humans have
been on this planet.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:14:34):
And I just think there's a reason why we love
it so much. It's just like familiar. I know, that's
kind of a crazy perspective. Well, like people have been doing.

Speaker 2 (01:14:43):
That for a thousands You think about some of those
Indians riding on horseback chasing this buffalo and making a
shot that while I mean, I always say like read
could he could repeat verbatim my big deer story from
last year, because I've told it so many times, But

(01:15:05):
not only that story, I could, I could that one
right there. I could tell you. Yeah, I could tell
you from the moment to the moment we got back
to the I mean into the truck and shut everybody
in town. I can tell you that story. It's so
weird how those I said shoot again on that one. Yeah,
it's so weird to me that those I don't like.

(01:15:28):
If I see a picture of me a fish, I'm like,
oh man, where where were we when I called that?
You know? Or if I crazy as this is, really
you ain't ever caught a big If I see a
picture of like me and you and Luke somewhere, I'll
be like, oh man, where were we on that? Or
if you know we're you know, they always take the
shot before the show, and I'm like, oh, I wonder
what But if I see a picture of me with

(01:15:48):
a deer, you with a deer, with a deer, my
dad with a deer, like, bro, I know exactly where
we were, I know what time. I don't know what
truck that was that we were in. Your kids are
is every damn story every It definitely is for my
dad for sure. But one of those, one of those

(01:16:08):
in there and all that they are so fun. Man,
it's like if it's like the fondest I don't know, man,
it's like it's you know, it's so weird too, and
this sounds terrible and it's but it's like sometimes it's
like the proudest you'll ever be of your buddy or
your brother or whatever. It's just you know what I mean,
Like do I Yeah, It's It's just there's some weird

(01:16:30):
innate I think you're there. I think it touches. I
think it touches something. There's some redneck. There's also something
about red blood and bone in that it has. It has.
It's this sounds so selfish and maybe it should, but
it's like it has nothing to do with anybody but
you you know what I mean, Like when I hit,

(01:16:50):
when I have a song that goes number one or
gets cut or something, I'm like, hell, yes, that's awesome.
I'm providing for my family. Like that's what I think
when that had I under saying that happens a whole lot.
But when when the money comes in with your corider advanced,
this is gonna There's not many things in our lives
left as married family men. That's like for us really,

(01:17:14):
and I feel even I'm trying to say, I don't mean,
I know that sounds selfish and I don't mean for it,
but we're always given right. We're trying to you want
to make sure and and and innately we say this
all the time. It's like, I feel like, you want
to provide for your family, so you're gonna work really
hard to do that. And like the one thing left
I feel like, as like just a dude that wants

(01:17:36):
to celebrate something for himself is that. And I think
that's why is so precious to me. Man. It's like
the one thing that I've gotten. I got to have it,
I got to hold onto it. And then the culmination
and the climax of all that when you've it's been successful,
and you know you've done it and you're going home
and everything. Man, there's something really nice about that feeling.
And it's kind of that in reverse what you were saying,

(01:17:58):
like like that is like a number one. So all
that stuff advances like this. The story of that buck
ends when you shoot him, you know, And it's just
the the the love, the passion of doing that again
and and go not a career, right, there's just there's
a little time, little window that we get to do it.
And then you know, with kids, your window becomes smaller

(01:18:18):
and small and smaller if you want to. And rightfully
so said all the time it's like, man, this dad
stuff would be easy if we were pieces of because
we're not. It requires time and effort, you know, and
so thus doing that takes energy away from other things.
But when you get those two or three days and
then it pops off and you're standing around and your
but there's nothing better, man. That's why it's so addicting.

(01:18:43):
It's like sad. When you drive, it's like dropping your
kid off at school or something.

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
When you take it at the you're you're driving home,
you're like, man, I'm not even gonna get it pulling
it out of.

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
My wife and I have been in a tip about that,
dude about that. But because she's we're building a new
house and I'm like, where's my spot? Then she's like,
ain't no spot, dude, that's the barn. The barn is
the spot. Like fill it up, dude, go nuts out there.
And I'm like, and this was my argument, and tell

(01:19:16):
me if if you think it was it was, it
was a good one or not. But I was like, China,
just want to let you know that's the biggest deer
I'll ever kill in my life ever. Seeing that deer
makes me a better person that day. So by having
the deer in the house and me waking up and

(01:19:37):
opening my eyes to this giant, it brings me joy,
makes me a better day. It takes me a better husband.
He want me to be an apple every day. That's
exactly right. Do you want me to be the best?
To me not being then let me put this on
this opposing wall from when I opened my eyes. Oh
my god, dude, and it's just a straight no, it
ain't looking good. I won't to say straight. She's she

(01:20:00):
made my clothes at pretty big. So that he could
fit it there, but I will spend that morning like
a man cave studio thing too. And that's that's that
was Cali's like foot down moment was like they can
all go in there.

Speaker 1 (01:20:11):
I was like, okay, well ever, yeah, and I'll see
you later. Do I go straight to the man cave
every day?

Speaker 6 (01:20:21):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
Do we talk about the record? We talk more about it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:25):
Tell me about the y'all need Jesus. Yeah, dude, that's
just a obviously a I just have gotten a lot.
It's really funny. When my last record Quit came out,
this was a rock record. I from that moment until
into Infinity, I that was my first moment of like

(01:20:47):
having some some hate, like first time ever country hate
or is it like rock guy hate. I think a
little bit of everything. I think some of the rock
people hated it, and some of the a lot of
the country people hated it. But I also I will
say this is like my fans. I do consider my
following a somewhat of a cult thing because like I
put out just so far from two ends of each other,

(01:21:09):
and my like ride or Die fans like it both,
and you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:21:13):
So it's sort of I can feel that it's like
fair weather fans and like, you know, like.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
Quit comes out, and then there's like people that are
like the hearty ball off needs to be studied and like,
you know like that. But I had I got haters
for the first time, and uh, that's just it's a
fun way of sort of making fun of myself but
also kind of just just finding a polite way to
tell all these people.

Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
To you know, what I'll tell you was in your
cult following is my three year old so really, oh
my gosh, daddy rockstar, daddy rockstar, daddy rockstar. Every I'm
so sick and he uh, a funny thing happened. I
hope my mom's not listening to this. But the other

(01:21:56):
day my daughter said something and Boots, she said shut up.
And my my boy boone, who's three, was like, hey,
we don't say that, and she goes, well, you say
that hardy song and that's a bad word way. Oh
my gosh, man, I show video of him singing that
he can't even like sing, he doesn't know the words,

(01:22:18):
just mumbling yeah, that's awesome, pretty great. He loves you.
They're gonna they're gonna freak out when they when they
see us sitting together. I'm like, and I said, tell
them all the time, like, hey, he's my friend, and
they're like, and they know, Lou you know what I mean.
I'm like, but they he don't even livery They're like,

(01:22:38):
oh Man Hearty and Dylan Marlowe, those guys, like they think,
y'all anyway you are, you are your your icons, those guys.
That's funny.

Speaker 1 (01:22:48):
I get a lot of videos of kids singing, and
it's always like the heavy stuff. Really, yes, Like it's
never you know whatever, that's never like just a regular
old country So it's always Jim Bob or like truck
bed or yeah, the rockstar man, sold out man.

Speaker 2 (01:23:03):
The kids love that stuff. Yeah whatever tea words. Yeah,
because he's never heard me say, yeah, that only my fault,
my thought of Harty's fault.

Speaker 1 (01:23:16):
Hey, right, quick, tell us about the Hardy fun Man. Yeah,
the Hardy fun dude. He's got ten I'm a big
loud I'm literally thirty seconds. Yeah, I mean kind of
long overdue, honestly, but it's just, uh, you knows. As
most charity funds, there's we don't have a specific thing
that we donate to where we wanted to always leave
that open. But yeah, it's just calianized charity thing. Live

(01:23:40):
Nation this year did a dollar per ticket, which.

Speaker 2 (01:23:42):
Was sick because it's just an awesome way to get
get money rolling through theirs and man, anything that sparks
our our ear or our our hearts to be uh,
to be more specific, we.

Speaker 1 (01:23:56):
Just would donate to. And it's I think it's just
the heartyfun dot com but either way, just I just would.
I love not like talking about it because people know
that it's out there and can reach out if they
have anything. Like we there's a there's a thing in
Philadelphia where they take care of like like mentally disabled
people after high school because that kind of you know,
it's like what happens after that, you know, where do

(01:24:18):
they go?

Speaker 2 (01:24:19):
And they needed like a washer and dryer, and so
we just did that.

Speaker 1 (01:24:22):
And like something as small as that, so as big
as like you know, the American Cancer Foundation or whatever
it is and everything in between, life changing.

Speaker 2 (01:24:29):
Man, absolutely absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:24:31):
So we're it's CALLI and I's charity and we're like
beyond excited about it.

your heart too, because like we we know you personally,
and we know you're a great dude. And a lot
of these people on stage, you know, don't they get
that they get on stage hardy, that's right. And but
