Bobby on how we are waiting on the time Amy scheduled to talk to the alleged scammer. Bobby finally got to watch the halftime show broadcaster version since he couldn’t hear it at the game. Country artist Jayson Arendt stops by and we meet him for the first time after years of talking to him on the phone and watching his career. He talks to us about his new adventure playing baseball and singing at the same time. We return from our attempt to scam the scammer. Bobby gives Jayson advice on moving to Nashville to make it in music.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yes, Okay, we have finished the show. It is exactly
ten thirty, so we've been off the air for like
half an hour. We are going to do this first
half of the post show up until the point where
Amy gets an opportunity to talk to the scammer. Now,
if you've heard the show over the past couple days,
(00:21):
even the show this morning, somebody is claiming to be
Kitlin Lowry's manager. Kaylin put respect on her name. That
was not meant as disrespect. I thought her name was
Caitlin because I'm not familiar with teen Mom to the
level of you are. Yeah, she's sixty and pregnant than
teen Mom. But yeah, go, thank you my apology. So
(00:45):
what we're going to do is do a half hour
twenty minutes or so. We will break. You won't fill
the break unless you're watching live. If you're listening to
the podcast, we'll be back. But that's what we're waiting
on now. Now, Amy's debating if we should use her
computer or not. But my theory is it's a real zoom, right,
Is it a zoom or some weird link?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
No, it's a zoom, but I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Do you mind going and looking at the link.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Everything looks like a normal Zoom invitation or it says
here's a meeting invite join Zoom meeting. Then it has
the link and then it says meeting ID and then
a pass code.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Are we trying to do the whole system? Bones like,
do the kind of the whole Zoom thing. Put it
through the system so we can record it.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Do that.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
But if it's a bad link.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
That is a great idea.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It's worth the risk.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Say that again, my If you don't click the link,
just use the idea in the past code you get
into it or we're not clicking anything.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Oh good, that's good and we can do that.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, I don't know what that what that means?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
It was different thing.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I'm not going to click the direct link they provided
because who knows where that was.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Oh you're going to go to the app or the
on your okay, but let's do it on ours then
and can we put it on the big screen. I
can do all that and then we will be able
to record it.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, just send that Eddie, okay sending Okay?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So so this is real. We already get frustrated. The
beauty she gets on and it's kayln Lowry and Amy's
in the middle of an interview.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
And we haven't recorded high quality. We're good.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
That would be funny, and we'll just walk out of
the room and let Amy do the interview because they
send her some questions. But I just think there's no
way since it's a Facebook. They're using Facebook as their
main like a lot. And the guy didn't send you
a link until late Yeah, he.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Sent it late yesterday.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
After corresponds back and forth of like, he's like, are
you Pacific Eastern Central?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I was like, I'm Central. He's like, perfect, that works
for me.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
This has gotta be a he said.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
He said, all right, Central works for me as well.
Further Comma, I'll send you the meeting invite later today, thanks,
And then I got it at night.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Okay, what's wrong with the further comma?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Who knows? We're just we're going to do it and
we'll we'll we'll complete the mission. Yeah. Oh no, it's
not like Adorn Country.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
That way, trying to be like this is how they speak.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Okay. A couple of things. Number one, I finally I
was home last night. I was able to watch the
halftime show on television because we watched it in the arena,
and I mentioned yesterday we couldn't hear anything. I really
liked it, but I can understand. I don't think it
was for the super Bowl because there are too many
older The super Bowl needs to be corny. The Super
(03:20):
have to show needs to be corny. It needs to
be corny as in, it needs to be songs that
have been hits for so many years that most people
know them. I think Kendrick Lamar was a little too
cool for the super Bowl because that needs to be corny. Also,
nobody ever likes the halftime show and it's off. It's
corny sometimes. I mean the weekend as far as like current,
(03:43):
nobody streams more on the weekend. It was slightly corny,
and still people were like, we hated it. Everybody hated
the weekend. When Katy Perry did her thing and like
like Leugh Shirk, yeah, our Lady Gaga like fell off.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
It, Like what about j Lo and Selena?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Selena would didn't? I mean.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I missed that one, yes the actress.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Okay, here are my thoughts after going home and watching it.
But I do think I'm probably a bit more of
a cadule with Lamar fan than the average forty four
year old white guy in country music. So I think
that based is my opinion is based on that. I
knew every song, but too one of them I'd never
heard and I was like, well, how do I know
(04:27):
that song? And this is why I think the halftime
performance was cool. He debuted a new song like Who's
gonna do that during a halftime show? That song that
where he's sitting under the street light, that's a brand
new song. Like he did not give a crap if
people liked it, is what I've found to be ballsy
about it. He knew doing it. There were going to
be people that did not get it or did not
(04:48):
like it. I think it probably made a lot of
people uncomfortable too, that were watching a performance with no
white people in it. If you want to be honest,
I think there are a lot of white people going.
I don't know, there's a lot of black people out there.
Makes me uncomfortable. Oh okay, if you don't think race
is a part of it too, why people weren't liking it? Sure?
But also you could just the people that I could
(05:09):
have understand it appreciate whe people like I didn't get it.
It wasn't my thing, but they weren't like I hated it.
And there's a big difference in somebody yelling I hate
it and I don't really understand it. It wasn't my thing,
Like it wasn't good for a halftime performance. I don't
think it was good for a halftime performance for the
super Bowl because I don't think it was corny enough.
I think it needed to be something that a lot
of people knew all the songs to. But when people
(05:31):
are screaming I hated it with really no reason to
hate it, I'm like, what is that rooted in? Because
I enjoyed it. But even I again thought this is
probably wasn't for the for mass consumption at the super
Bowl because it is the most watched thing in all television.
And for sure there were some racial elements in some
people hating it.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
My mom loved it, text me, be goes, this is good.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Hey. Visually, it was awesome. They didn't use any that
was all that was all people doing. All we watched
it all the like that was all people like doing
all the shapes in the American flag. And also I
just was like, man, he spent all this time just
going hard on Drake that's hilarious. I didn't know. He
kept teasing that they were going to go into not
(06:19):
like us. I didn't because we couldn't hear it. I
didn't know they played like cause everybody was like, well,
Drake's is there's there's a defamation suit against Kendrick for
that song, and so they were like, there's no way
he's gonna play to the super Bowl. And so what
I couldn't hear was early on when you hear the
first come and he doesn't, then he doesn't do it
and he goes away, and I was like, that's hilarious,
(06:40):
Like Drake's watching going, oh he didn't do it, and
then at the end he goes into it hard. I
liked it as a performance. I don't think that most people.
I don't think it was right for the super Bowl
as far as it just needs it needs to be basic.
It needs to be the Wiggles or twenty hit songs
that are are not relevant that people that are seventy
(07:03):
and thirteen even know for people to be happy, and
even then they're not going to be happy. But I
did think it was really cool watching it. Did they
most Williams that's his ex girlfriend, But she was a
part of it because she used to date Drake and Dre.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Didn't see that any of that. They didn't We can't
see any of that.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Oh yeah, but you watched it, what later not you adie,
you haven't seen.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I watched it last night. I saw a clip I
saw like TikTok of her being in it. But that's why,
Like there was also so many Easter eggs. The whole
thing was a video game controller.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
All Oh, I didn't realize that that was the X
And yeah, we.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Picked that out because we had the higher perspective of it.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Oh, it's a PlayStation.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Never saw that, Okay, So there are all these little
minor things that even if you didn't enjoy it, almost
you could be like, dang, that was art like not
my thing. But I can see all of all of
the effort and micro like the micro artistic vision that
was put into it. So yeah, I thought it was
(08:02):
super cool. Probably more of a Grammy's thing, because that's
a snobbier audience. But even the Grammys, they would have
just acted like they liked it and actually not liked it.
And he did a lot of songs on the new album,
and again that's ballsy because it was like DNA I
(08:27):
was going through today, I mean, and that album hasn't
been out for Pekaboo and a lot of the songs
too were I mean they were from when him and
Drake were going back and forth. It was hell anyway,
I liked it, but I didn't yesterday. I was like, ah,
we couldn't tell what it was. We saw him take
down the Palestine flag. When they took that guy down,
That's mostly what we were watching. It was right in
front of us on the back. Never showed up on TV.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Flag.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
And what was cool too, it was hard for us
to see what was happening on the screens down there
because they kept turning the screens off behind him so
it would be completely blacked out. But the other side
the screens were on, so the people in the crackett
but they were switching up so fast you couldn't really
see by the jumbo trons what was happening down there.
We did see the people. I'm an idiot on this part.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
This was funny.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
We saw all these people going under the stage beforehand,
like just they opened up a hundreds people going under
the stage and didn't think anything about it. And it
starts and Kendrick's on the car and then he jumps
off the car and all those people start coming out
of the car, and I go to Edie, I'm like,
how they fed all those people in that car? Eddie goes,
you just watched a hundred people go under the stage.
Coming from under the stage, I'm in the car. I'm like,
(09:36):
oh yeah. I'm like, oh yeah, that makes sense. So
not that anybody cares, because two day later, my final
judgment that nobody's asking for is I personally really liked it.
I thought it was a little too cool for the
super Bowl because the super Bowl audience is so wide
(09:56):
that it needs to be very corny. And the people
still aren't gonna like it because they don't like anything,
but it's not going to be as openly disliked. And
what I liked about it as somebody who creates is
that Kendrick DJ af like he didn't play even as
uh he didn't. He played be Humble, that's one of
(10:17):
the biggest songs, but he didn't play some of his
biggest songs because he was like, I'm gonna go out
and do exactly my thing. I know some people aren't
gonna know what's going on? And screw it?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
What do you think is his most well known song?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Probably be humble. It's probably probably a humbler.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Swimming pools, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Swim poles old, but nope, he did a song we
hadn't even heard yet. That's pretty crazy. So anyway, that's
what that's my thoughts. But visually, it was awesome when
they were doing the flag, that's so cool, and we
couldn't only see that from up there.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Of course we had a better vantage point for yeah,
what what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
People?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
All the dancers when they turned we were behind it
on about the forty yard line, and the screens weren't
good because they kept turning them off and on and
they would get on TV. You guys were on the OtherSide,
looking right down.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
We could see the whole field, and then whenever they
switched to screens, I would just look the other way
and I could see everything happening, like I saw when
like Sam Jackson was down there. I saw everything.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I asked my wife too, without any leading her into
knowing that I couldn't really hear anything. I said, what
you think of the halftime show? And she's a massive
Sissa fan and she's the reason that we listened to
so much Kitch Lamar and mostly Sizza. She was like,
I thought it was awesome because I'm a fan of
and she knew except for the one song that wasn't new,
she knew every song and so I was like, it
was cool on TV. She was like, yeah it visually
(11:29):
it was amazing and if you knew the songs, you
loved it. But again, I don't think enough people that
watched the Super Bowl Jen Pop in Iowa and Florida
and California and age seven and seventy three knew enough. Kendrick,
that's my final, my final stance on it. That's not
even a stance your opinion, Thank you, and you know what,
(11:50):
I deserve it because it's America, yours man. And yeah,
Serena was dancing because do you know Serena's brother was
shot and killed by the cribs.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Oh, I remember that from the movie about the family
on HBO, King or King Richard.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Richard And she must hate Drake so much that she
was doing the crip walk on stage with Kendrick and
the A was a small a A minor, A minor.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
I got that part. Well, you had to explained to me.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
While we were watching it, little nuggets.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I'm sure there are hundred nuggets we don't even know
yet that went into that thing. Okay, So there's my
opinion and my stands, although I not really standing on anything,
just my opinion. Do you want to bring Jason in Scuba?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
I'm gonna tell you though, I looked at that that
you should watch. No. No, I looked at that that
Zoom password.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
It looks different, does it?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Does? It looks different? I'm gonna do a little research
while we do this interview.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
So we're bringing Jason in. Hey, Jason going to see
a buddy hop on over there. So this is Jason,
aren't remember we tell him is a person? We never
met him?
Speaker 6 (12:55):
Oh no, we've seen yeah, here you go.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Oh yeah, we did see him on zoom for a
little bit. That's why he was familiar looking. Yeah, So
Jason called.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Us a ball player, your ball player.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
It used to be still, well you're still playing? What
year are you?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Then?
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Well, I'm not in college anymore, then what are you playing?
So I kind of I.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Kind of, yeah, I kind of teased that a little bit,
no way, but I couldn't announce it fully because it
wasn't like announce it out yet. So we I'm on
a brand new team in that organization that does. It's
like based around the band, so I'll be like singing
and playing left field and wait, hold on, wait.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Like a like a parody baseball team.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
We don't want to get you in trouble. No, no, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I don't know what you could say that banana team.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
Yeah, it's the same thing. So we'll travel and play
with against them and all that.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
And there's like four teams now there.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
They're they're creating a league of that entertainment, like.
Speaker 7 (13:52):
This year there's like a championship league and really play
like winner take all.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well, I watched the guy that started that. I'll watch
him do talks and he talks in all yellow.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
He's awesome.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, and just his vision behind it early on, and
it's it's the Harlem glob trotters of baseball and baseball generally,
like Major League Baseball has never been less interesting to America.
Like the ratings are so down, but it's the Savannah Bananas.
What they're showing is if you put something entertainment on
the field, they sell out baseball stadiums.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
I'm pretty sure every game so far as is going
to be or is already sold out.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
How did you end up be or did you audition?
Did you say I can play ball and singer.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
Way, So, my senior year of college, I was still
playing at UNCY Wilmington, and I was playing shows with
my band at the time, Like we were kind of
traveling around North Carolina and playing and putting songs out
at the same time, and that kind of got a
little bit of attentionion going and they caught wind of it,
and we're like, Okay, this would be a cool angle
to add a new team that does that and our system.
(14:58):
And so that's kind of how it worked.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
What is your team? Can you say your team namer?
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Yeah, so we're the Texas Tailgators.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
But that's fine, So it'll be it'll be cool.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
It's kind of like the styles like outlaw baseball, country Tailgates.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
What do you what do you do?
Speaker 7 (15:14):
I will be playing outfield and then lead singer for
the team band.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
So what does that mean? Team band? Does it play
before during? After?
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Okay, all all three? How do you play during?
Speaker 7 (15:28):
So it'll be like, if you want me to be
honest with you, what they told me is this has
never been done.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Before, so we'll figure it out. We'll figure it out
as we go.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
That's but I know that we'll have sets before and
after each game, and then it'll be like probably little
things in the middle, like I'll come in from left field,
like singing when I hit or something.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Well, they let you still play shows while you're out.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
Probably not.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
I mean we'll play Friday Saturday every week pretty much.
So it's not really wouldn't really work into that system.
But if we have awfully maybe.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
So May It starts in May and May four, twenty fifth,
Albuquerque Versus the Party Animals yep. So like the Party Animals.
There's the you are playing the Savanna Bananas, there's the Firefighters.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Do you know what each of their themes are?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yet?
Speaker 7 (16:18):
The Party Animals is like is wild? I mean them
people get wild for the Party Animal games. The Bananas
is more like the Yankees of the organization, and then
the Firefighters is kind of like it's still new, Like
last year was their first year, so they didn't really
get to do what they would call them headline games.
And that's where it's like your show, and so that's
kind of where you fit your your mold of the
(16:41):
style of game that you're playing.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
So okay. Just to rewind for everybody here, Jason sent
a video unto the mailbag and I'm covering a song
way way way back in.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
The day, and they'll lear about Jamie Johnson.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, And so we played it. We were like, yeah, dude,
there's something there. And then he called into the show
like two and a half years later to say you
had three songs out, and so I was like, dude,
change your name. He still hasn't so good for him,
only because it adds a cool name, but it's a
R E N d T. And it was like, if
you make it, that's gonna be cool because it's so different.
But there are also gonna be times where people are like,
(17:12):
I don't know how to say that, or if it's
like Jason aarndt dot com, that's gonna be hard to find.
There were We kind of weighed it. Yep, we waited,
and so he then sang on the phone, which never
turns out positive because the phone doesn't sound good, and
he still sounded good. We did a zoom interview with
him because we featured him on the Country Top thirty
for a song. My July you are playing shows. So
(17:36):
Valentine's Night and the fifteenth you're in Charleston, South Carolina. No,
you know, Greenville, North Carolina, then Charleston, South Carolina. So
you're playing shows before the season starts.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Yes, so I'll play.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
I'll play from this point forward pretty much every weekend.
We'll be on the road until like April first is
report day for spring training, and so that's kind of
when I shut down.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
But I'll play every weekend up until then.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Can you did you have to sign anything? Can you
After the season's over, you can still play. I can
still play, Okay. So it's just you just can't play
mostly because Friday and Saturday you're playing baseball.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Yeah, exactly, and will be I mean, I'll be gassed.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
I mean we're gonna be doing a lot, so it's
kind of it'll be hard for me to get out
outside of.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
That to play.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Are you playing much now?
Speaker 7 (18:20):
I'm playing a lot right now, twice a week Fridays
and Saturdays. Kind of wherever we end up going for
that weekend, it around the region and kind of moving
out and getting down and around and trying to cover
different spots that I've been before, and we've seen a
lot of uptake and people coming out that have been before,
which is really cool. To have people come back and
(18:41):
then people singing songs back to you is really cool,
and that's something that I've started to experience too. And
like requesting songs during your shows.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Did anybody randomly that you knew? Here? You on the
countdown and like, what the crap?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Yeah, so you guys will know this name Carolina Roy.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Oh the Yeah? So I was his dad?
Speaker 6 (19:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
No, no, okay.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
So I was at a Brett Young concert because my
mom is like the biggest Brett Young fan you'll ever meet.
And we went to that id of Off night. So
we go to that and I'm standing there just like
waiting in line for popcorn, and this dude comes up
to me and he goes, you're Jason right, And I
was like yeah, he goes, dude, I'm Carolina Roy. I
call in all the time to Bobby Bones. I was like,
that is the craziest thing we know, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That's funny. We don't even know what he looks like.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
Do what look he's taller, he's taller, good looking dude.
He's funny.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
We've tried to set him up with well, everybody, try
to set him up with with everybody. Was it a
difficult decision for you to go or how difficult was
the decision to go, Okay, I'm not going to tour
for three months or four months to play baseball whenever
it's been what your focus has been.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
So it really wasn't a hard decision when they laid
it out the way they did, because they kind of
told me they were like, all right, our fan base
is multi million people all over the country, all over
the world, and if you come do this with us,
I mean, you're gonna get to do what you already do,
just on a bigger stage because we have a full band.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
I'll get to play all my songs.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
In every set and you get to say your name.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Yep, my name is on the front of that for
my band.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
They're like, jump a jack, Jason here he is, like,
you know it's Jason, aren't.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
So it's it's kind of a it was almost a
no brainer. And the other things that are coming with
it is like kind of like you talk about with
Phil until you don't that kind of stuff. That's Jesse's
like motto is you know, like try new things. If
it fails, like learn from it, take it the next day.
And so they're the best at creating those unique moments
(20:36):
for fans that people take home and live with forever
and they'll never forget you because of that moment. And
that's kind of my thing as an entertainer is how
do I create those moments for every fan that comes
to my shows? At every show, you know that someone
goes home and remembers that forever. And so I'll get
to learn from the best of the best on how
to do that and create fan bases the way they have.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
And also, I mean you still got to take BP. Yep,
you still got a practice. Is it excited to get
to continue your ball career a bit too or had
you kind of already resign the fact that it's over
after I'm done at Wilmington.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
Well, I kind of resigned it. I had hung them
up in my head. I was like, I'm I'm cool.
Once we got towards the end of the year, I
had almost kind of checked out because I was like
getting ready for everything that was coming. And then that
call came in and I was like, I guess I
could still play a little bit. I guess, you know,
I don't really want to hang it up. Nobody wants
to hang it up. As an athlete, like you never
want to say, Okay, I'm done with this, but you
(21:30):
know you kind of come to that realization sometimes, and
it was a false realization, I guess, and I still
getting ram with it back in the sport.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
That's super cool. It's a big pivot, but it's one
that makes sense organically. Like you are playing ball, you
are a singer. Now you get to play ball and sing. Yeah,
that's pretty cool.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
It's cool. It's something that not very many people get
to say they have done.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Would the goal be to make it to the Bananas?
Like would the team that player? I don't know if
that's you know, if you're killing it with the party animals,
like hey, we got to call We're gonna call you
up to the Bananas because they're the known team right.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
Now, I wouldn't say that that would be as beneficial
for me because they don't have like a team band.
It's not really focused on that. Their whole team motto
is different, and so I kind of get to be
in the center of the band. So our band is
made up of baseball players on the team. The whole thing,
(22:26):
the whole the whole team, or the whole band is
made up of guys on the team, and so it's
kind of this cool aspect of, you know, we got
a bunch of baseball players who play instruments, let's put
them together. So it's it's I'm excited to do that,
And I wouldn't say I want to be on a
different team because that's my style.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
We're gonna come back with Jason just second. We have
to break for a minute because we're trying to catch
somebody scamming Amy. But we're gonna come back with Jason
after the break. So let's let's shut everything down and
then we're gonna try to catch the scammer and then
we'll be in a few minutes. Everybody good, Yeah, Okay, cool, Okay,
we're back on the podcast. We can't reveal too much
(23:04):
of what just happened, but it's basically half hour later,
it'll be on tomorrow's show.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
You look like you've seen an alien. You don't even
know what to do right now with your face.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Is I couldn't believe we got that far. That's all
I will say. And Jason stated with us the whole time.
We won't reveal too much because it'll be on tomorrow's show.
We recorded it, but Jason was sitting right next to
Amy and her computer. That definitely went deeper than I
thought it would.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
It was pretty well.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I've never seen something like that for me either, so Tomorrow' show.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
But it gives us a better idea of how they
get like.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
If someone was more vulnerable or didn't know as much
about computers, like how they could easily access something.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
I will say, for a second, I did think you
were going to do it.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I think the whole room and the little concern that
Amy has had to fall forward again. Okay, so that
will be on tomorrow's.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Show, like how does he live with himself?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
That's the next day I was on today show. We
just did all that. We have a guest here and
then let's not be rude. Now she's wanting to go back.
What if I click into it now? Jason? How long
are you in town?
Speaker 6 (24:13):
I mean I'll probably leave Thursday.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
So what are you playing any anywhere around here? Do
you have friends here?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
No?
Speaker 7 (24:19):
So I'm gonna I'm gonna go get up with my
producer and kind of work through two of the new
songs that were getting ready to get going for this summer.
I didn't record them, yeah, well not really record them,
kind of pre production stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
No, I mean you're picking. If you're that's what you're
working on songs, you're going.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, and then I'll be back next month
to fully cut him.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
And how often do you come to Nashville?
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Probably once a month for right now?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Who are we talking to? Oh?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Matt.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
So one of our buddies is Matt Stell, who when
he was an early artist, you know, and he was
kind of red dirt, but he was coming to Nashville
like once a once a month, like coming in doing
his thing, and then he was like, man, I never
really could get a full grasp of it until I moved. There.
Is that, ever, the intention to just move to Nashville?
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Yeah, so I'm kind of right now I'm looking to
move full time once the season ends with the Texas
Tailgators in kind of like October.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Is there a home base for the Tailgators or do
you just s down the road so well, that would suck.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
For this year, We're still still based in Savannah, Georgia,
But I think the intention because next year they're adding
two more teams to this league well, and I think
their goal is to make it like regional, so where
like Texas would be in Texas, and then they'll have
one like on the West Coast.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Like the UFL, the football leagu's happening. They're all based.
They have a center maybe in Dallas or Vegas where
the team. There's like six teams and they all kind
of I think it's Vegas and they all kind of
live there. But it feels like that's what this is
at first, like all the teams are in the same
place and you go and you play.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
So are you living in Savanna?
Speaker 6 (26:00):
I will be, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
I moved down mid March and I'll be there for
spring training and which will be like baseball spring training,
and then after that it'll be you know, get the
band in shape, get them ready to go, make sure
that they know what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
You have friends here in Nashville a lot.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
I've been kind of coming for about a year now
and met a lot of good friends here that I
stay in touch with over pretty much every day.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Arlington, Texas is the hub city for the UFL, the
UFO headquarters. I'd see address there, but all the teams
are there, like the cities that have teams, so they're
all based there the same way that they're all be
based in Savannah, all eight of them.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
And the Arlington Renegades. I guess that's their home base.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Well, that's all their home bases. They just they're the
only Arlington. Yes, yeah, they's just represent other teams. That's
really cool, man. So you start you do some shows.
Oh man, we got all that. So here's Jason's schedule
if you guys are I want to go see the
fourteenth and fifteenth Greenville, North Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, February
(27:04):
twenty eighth, Clemson, South Carolina, and then three other North
Carolina dates and Wilmington, Charlotte and Greenville, and then it's
baseball time. Are you throwing now?
Speaker 7 (27:12):
Just to make sure I haven't really started my arm
care stuff yet. I've been hitting a little bit. I've
got a messed up elbow, so I kind of from
from I used to be a picture and I messed
up my elbow and never got it fixed. So I
just kind of slowly worked my way into it, but
try not to overdo it. Is the single still my
(27:33):
July single is my July, but the most recent one
is a single called could have Been that I put
out in January.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
All right, cool, well, dude one, good to see you
in person. It's it's been a slow build up.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
We talked to him on the phone. We zuomed him.
It's like he scammed us. He slowly, he slowly got
to see we're in got to meet him in person,
and then I got to meet him here. And that's
super cool, dude. I hope you have an awesome like
three or four months playing with the team and continue
to let us know when you put songs out, and
I don't know, we'll check in again in a couple
(28:07):
of months or so.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
That'd be super amy. Anything for Amy's face is still
in scratchy face.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Oh yeah, but I know work all those killed her life.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I know exactly what every tab is and I need it.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Okay, some stuff. We will move from this. I just
encourage everyone. If you're listening and you're watching us on YouTube,
tomorrow's show, it'll be on. It'll also be on the podcast,
and we're gonna put on the whole thing on the podcast.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
You want to put the whole thing up on YouTube,
you gotta put that video on YouTube, right.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
So we'll talk about after it because that was for
such sure and I'm not gonna say anything. We'll have
to talk about it after. Okay. I don't even know
where we go from here.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
That was awesome.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Okay. Uh, the guy that played Roydy Mercer died. Are
you guess familiar calls? It's a very southern thing, but
or I don't know like like it. I mean, I
say a lot of Southern Hispanic culture kind.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Of blends, yes, for sure.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Mercer. Roy roy D Mercer. We used to listen to
his prank calls all the time, and they were based
out of KMOD and Tulsa. But the guy who played
that character, roy D Mercer, died, I was looking at
the KMOD Twitter. It is for the heavy heart that
we share the passing of Brent Douglas roy D Mercer,
one of the patriarchs of KMOD. Our thoughts and deepest
(35:27):
condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who
are lucky enough to have Brent in their lives. Rock
and Piece Brent hashtag roy D Mercer. I'll even at
times when I'm on with somebody a little hidden tip
of the cap reference, but I'm like, how big old
boy are you? He would say that in just about
ever recall how Big Old Boy are You? And the
guy about six two two eight. So yeah, saw that.
(35:50):
I didn't know him, but listen to him and listen
to those calls because I didn't live in Tulsa, but
I listened those calls somehow got to me as a kid.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
They made like CDs I think he released use. I
remember people really bringing those by and let's just listening
to him.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
And I think probably ours were taped recorded off those
CDs illegally.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Brent Douglass and Phil Stone, DJs at rock music radio
station KMOD and Tulsa, Oklahoma, created the Roydy Mercer character
in nineteen ninety three. Initially, they use a character on
comedy sketches for the radio station. Prank calls. Sketches were
part of the morning show, and then they became legendary.
There was a guy on TikTok It's a radio show somewhere,
(36:28):
and I was watching his video and he was doing
a bit naming a song in one second. It's pretty
good at it, but he's like, watch I can name
the song on one second. And then another show started
doing it and he was like, I think he knows
the guy who's doing it. He's like they lifted my
bit or something like that, and I was like, h
(36:49):
We've been doing that bit for like ten years, and
we lifted that bit from Name that Tune the TV
show because that's like a nineteen sixties game show where
it's like how many notes I can name it notes.
Then we just started going one second a song. We've
played that game for years and years, so I challenged him. Friendly, Oh, friendly, Friendly.
I was like, hey, we've been doing this like ten years.
I probably have memorized a bunch, so it could be
(37:11):
a little cheating because I think I've memorized more. But
I was like, WrestleMania, we up. Now you can get
a response or anything. But I always think it's funny
when radio guys and I'm not even saying them because
it was a real epidemic for a long time, but
they're like, this person's stealing my bit, and it's like, one,
we've been doing it, and we stole it from a
game show from like that was before we were alive, right,
(37:33):
the original named that tune and they stand up and
there's a guy in a piano because the new version
has Randy Jackson on it, but the old one had
to be like sixties or seventies, and like, I can
name that tune in three notes, Doom, Doom, doom, And
then we nineteen fifty two, Oh dang, it premiered on
NBC radio. Dude, that was when they gathered around the
freaking radio with.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Like xylophones and all these noise makers.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
You mean, just for the broadcast, Oh, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Yeah, Like there's old footage of people recording a radio
show and yeah, you're right, there's like twenty people in there,
all doing different things.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
And moved to television and the fifties, CBS picked up
the show and carried it through fifty nine. In the
nineteen seventies, NBC broadcast two daytime versions of the show. Yeah,
I mean, we totally stole it from that. But I'm
pretty good at the one second of song game. I
might be the best ever. I'm being honest, I might
be the best ever. That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Has anyone stolen Bobby sings one second or one note?
What is the game that we play?
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:30):
That nor should? They don't?
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Where Bobby goes.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
That's a pretty bad game. That's a pretty bad game. Yeah.
I think I'm the only one that can pull that
one off because it's so bad. I do There was another.
I don't even want to go. I don't want to
get triggered triggered about a whole different thing that we
used to do that I knew a producer that ended
up taking it to TV. I want to be triggered,
(38:54):
so move on. Sometimes I want to be triggered, be triggered.
I don't today because I'm still a little bit tired
from our trip, which I don't want to be trigger
talking about the trip either, because I got so irritated yesterday,
I know, but I get tired. I get triggered. Somebody
(39:17):
in the company was was like, man, you guys had
a lot of fun times out, you know, just he
kind of referenced with just goofing around for a week,
and I was like, bro, we did two we did
we did market visits and charity shows and then did
two It didn't matter.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Did we find time to have fun? Sure, you guys did.
I was sick for two days, like we Yeah. There
was a point where like, oh, we're going to force
ourselves to do something, and then like two hours later
we're like, I want to go back to the hotel.
Speaker 7 (39:46):
Got bit.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
I got annoyed that it was treated like it was
a what we did something at the very end that
was cool. It was like a once in a lifetime thing.
But it doesn't matter. Yeah, prefer not to be triggered.
But I'm still a little u a little tired. I
had to make sure to lose my voice though, like
drink a lot of water because We did lots of
singing on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights, lots of interviews, multiple shows,
(40:08):
so I got to make sure I don't want to
come down with a sinus infection, right, just sinuses, That's
what it was. Man, I don't even know where we go? Hey, Ray,
how long? Total eighteen on this one? Yeah? What about
the first half?
Speaker 5 (40:27):
It's at least twenty five?
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Really at least? Okay, that'd be good. Then what is today? Tuesday?
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Uh? We're Tuesday? Okay, God, that's fun.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
What the whole thing happened? The whole thing? And if
you're like, man, what happened to them? The whole thing
happened in between while you guys like heard a commercial
or something. We had shut down for half an hour
to do the scam thing and it got out of control.
So that's a little bit why we're off center a bit.
The whole company almost got hacked.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
Well yeah, maybe we don't know.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
And then name you starts yelling. I think John's still
in me. Okay, we're done. Let's wrap it up. Any
anybody have a podcast? I do?
Speaker 3 (41:14):
Okay, go ahead, Mine is with Kat It's our bonus episode,

but we're using that word. But tips and tricks to
help you be productive when you might be otherwise, you know, distracted.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Morgan, you have an episode, yeah, I do with doctor
Harry Cohen.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
He's a psychologist and now an author of a book
called Be the Son, Not the Salt. And it's really
just like basic principles of being a good person.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
It's a cool episode. And what's his name, doctor Harry Cohen,
Doctor Harry Cohen.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
And he's very soothing.
Speaker 5 (41:55):
He's like seventy five years old and just has this
really cool, old kind of grandpa voice.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
I love him.
Speaker 5 (42:00):
All right.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Thanks to Jason Art for stopping by. Thanks to you know,
Earth for existing, Thanks to Earth for existing.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
Thank you for everything Earth.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
And I think we're going to call it and we'll
see you guys tomorrow. All right, goodbye, everybody,
Yes, Okay, we have finished the show. It is exactly
ten thirty, so we've been off the air for like
half an hour. We are going to do this first
half of the post show up until the point where
Amy gets an opportunity to talk to the scammer. Now,
if you've heard the show over the past couple days,
(00:21):
even the show this morning, somebody is claiming to be
Kitlin Lowry's manager. Kaylin put respect on her name. That
was not meant as disrespect. I thought her name was
Caitlin because I'm not familiar with teen Mom to the
level of you are. Yeah, she's sixty and pregnant than
teen Mom. But yeah, go, thank you my apology. So
(00:45):
what we're going to do is do a half hour
twenty minutes or so. We will break. You won't fill
the break unless you're watching live. If you're listening to
the podcast, we'll be back. But that's what we're waiting
on now. Now, Amy's debating if we should use her
computer or not. But my theory is it's a real zoom, right,
Is it a zoom or some weird link?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
No, it's a zoom, but I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Do you mind going and looking at the link.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Everything looks like a normal Zoom invitation or it says
here's a meeting invite join Zoom meeting. Then it has
the link and then it says meeting ID and then
a pass code.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Are we trying to do the whole system? Bones like,
do the kind of the whole Zoom thing. Put it
through the system so we can record it.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Do that.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
But if it's a bad link.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
That is a great idea.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It's worth the risk.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Say that again, my If you don't click the link,
just use the idea in the past code you get
into it or we're not clicking anything.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Oh good, that's good and we can do that.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, I don't know what that what that means?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
It was different thing.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I'm not going to click the direct link they provided
because who knows where that was.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Oh you're going to go to the app or the
on your okay, but let's do it on ours then
and can we put it on the big screen. I
can do all that and then we will be able
to record it.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, just send that Eddie, okay sending Okay?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So so this is real. We already get frustrated. The
beauty she gets on and it's kayln Lowry and Amy's
in the middle of an interview.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
And we haven't recorded high quality. We're good.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
That would be funny, and we'll just walk out of
the room and let Amy do the interview because they
send her some questions. But I just think there's no
way since it's a Facebook. They're using Facebook as their
main like a lot. And the guy didn't send you
a link until late Yeah, he.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Sent it late yesterday.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
After corresponds back and forth of like, he's like, are
you Pacific Eastern Central?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I was like, I'm Central. He's like, perfect, that works
for me.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
This has gotta be a he said.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
He said, all right, Central works for me as well.
Further Comma, I'll send you the meeting invite later today, thanks,
And then I got it at night.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Okay, what's wrong with the further comma?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Who knows? We're just we're going to do it and
we'll we'll we'll complete the mission. Yeah. Oh no, it's
not like Adorn Country.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
That way, trying to be like this is how they speak.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Okay. A couple of things. Number one, I finally I
was home last night. I was able to watch the
halftime show on television because we watched it in the arena,
and I mentioned yesterday we couldn't hear anything. I really
liked it, but I can understand. I don't think it
was for the super Bowl because there are too many
older The super Bowl needs to be corny. The Super
(03:20):
have to show needs to be corny. It needs to
be corny as in, it needs to be songs that
have been hits for so many years that most people
know them. I think Kendrick Lamar was a little too
cool for the super Bowl because that needs to be corny. Also,
nobody ever likes the halftime show and it's off. It's
corny sometimes. I mean the weekend as far as like current,
(03:43):
nobody streams more on the weekend. It was slightly corny,
and still people were like, we hated it. Everybody hated
the weekend. When Katy Perry did her thing and like
like Leugh Shirk, yeah, our Lady Gaga like fell off.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
It, Like what about j Lo and Selena?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Selena would didn't? I mean.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I missed that one, yes the actress.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Okay, here are my thoughts after going home and watching it.
But I do think I'm probably a bit more of
a cadule with Lamar fan than the average forty four
year old white guy in country music. So I think
that based is my opinion is based on that. I
knew every song, but too one of them I'd never
heard and I was like, well, how do I know
(04:27):
that song? And this is why I think the halftime
performance was cool. He debuted a new song like Who's
gonna do that during a halftime show? That song that
where he's sitting under the street light, that's a brand
new song. Like he did not give a crap if
people liked it, is what I've found to be ballsy
about it. He knew doing it. There were going to
be people that did not get it or did not
(04:48):
like it. I think it probably made a lot of
people uncomfortable too, that were watching a performance with no
white people in it. If you want to be honest,
I think there are a lot of white people going.
I don't know, there's a lot of black people out there.
Makes me uncomfortable. Oh okay, if you don't think race
is a part of it too, why people weren't liking it? Sure?
But also you could just the people that I could
(05:09):
have understand it appreciate whe people like I didn't get it.
It wasn't my thing, but they weren't like I hated it.
And there's a big difference in somebody yelling I hate
it and I don't really understand it. It wasn't my thing,
Like it wasn't good for a halftime performance. I don't
think it was good for a halftime performance for the
super Bowl because I don't think it was corny enough.
I think it needed to be something that a lot
of people knew all the songs to. But when people
(05:31):
are screaming I hated it with really no reason to
hate it, I'm like, what is that rooted in? Because
I enjoyed it. But even I again thought this is
probably wasn't for the for mass consumption at the super
Bowl because it is the most watched thing in all television.
And for sure there were some racial elements in some
people hating it.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
My mom loved it, text me, be goes, this is good.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Hey. Visually, it was awesome. They didn't use any that
was all that was all people doing. All we watched
it all the like that was all people like doing
all the shapes in the American flag. And also I
just was like, man, he spent all this time just
going hard on Drake that's hilarious. I didn't know. He
kept teasing that they were going to go into not
(06:19):
like us. I didn't because we couldn't hear it. I
didn't know they played like cause everybody was like, well,
Drake's is there's there's a defamation suit against Kendrick for
that song, and so they were like, there's no way
he's gonna play to the super Bowl. And so what
I couldn't hear was early on when you hear the
first come and he doesn't, then he doesn't do it
and he goes away, and I was like, that's hilarious,
(06:40):
Like Drake's watching going, oh he didn't do it, and
then at the end he goes into it hard. I
liked it as a performance. I don't think that most people.
I don't think it was right for the super Bowl
as far as it just needs it needs to be basic.
It needs to be the Wiggles or twenty hit songs
that are are not relevant that people that are seventy
(07:03):
and thirteen even know for people to be happy, and
even then they're not going to be happy. But I
did think it was really cool watching it. Did they
most Williams that's his ex girlfriend, But she was a
part of it because she used to date Drake and Dre.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Didn't see that any of that. They didn't We can't
see any of that.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Oh yeah, but you watched it, what later not you adie,
you haven't seen.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I watched it last night. I saw a clip I
saw like TikTok of her being in it. But that's why,
Like there was also so many Easter eggs. The whole
thing was a video game controller.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
All Oh, I didn't realize that that was the X
And yeah, we.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Picked that out because we had the higher perspective of it.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Oh, it's a PlayStation.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Never saw that, Okay, So there are all these little
minor things that even if you didn't enjoy it, almost
you could be like, dang, that was art like not
my thing. But I can see all of all of
the effort and micro like the micro artistic vision that
was put into it. So yeah, I thought it was
(08:02):
super cool. Probably more of a Grammy's thing, because that's
a snobbier audience. But even the Grammys, they would have
just acted like they liked it and actually not liked it.
And he did a lot of songs on the new album,
and again that's ballsy because it was like DNA I
(08:27):
was going through today, I mean, and that album hasn't
been out for Pekaboo and a lot of the songs
too were I mean they were from when him and
Drake were going back and forth. It was hell anyway,
I liked it, but I didn't yesterday. I was like, ah,
we couldn't tell what it was. We saw him take
down the Palestine flag. When they took that guy down,
That's mostly what we were watching. It was right in
front of us on the back. Never showed up on TV.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Flag.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
And what was cool too, it was hard for us
to see what was happening on the screens down there
because they kept turning the screens off behind him so
it would be completely blacked out. But the other side
the screens were on, so the people in the crackett
but they were switching up so fast you couldn't really
see by the jumbo trons what was happening down there.
We did see the people. I'm an idiot on this part.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
This was funny.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
We saw all these people going under the stage beforehand,
like just they opened up a hundreds people going under
the stage and didn't think anything about it. And it
starts and Kendrick's on the car and then he jumps
off the car and all those people start coming out
of the car, and I go to Edie, I'm like,
how they fed all those people in that car? Eddie goes,
you just watched a hundred people go under the stage.
Coming from under the stage, I'm in the car. I'm like,
(09:36):
oh yeah. I'm like, oh yeah, that makes sense. So
not that anybody cares, because two day later, my final
judgment that nobody's asking for is I personally really liked it.
I thought it was a little too cool for the
super Bowl because the super Bowl audience is so wide
(09:56):
that it needs to be very corny. And the people
still aren't gonna like it because they don't like anything,
but it's not going to be as openly disliked. And
what I liked about it as somebody who creates is
that Kendrick DJ af like he didn't play even as
uh he didn't. He played be Humble, that's one of
(10:17):
the biggest songs, but he didn't play some of his
biggest songs because he was like, I'm gonna go out
and do exactly my thing. I know some people aren't
gonna know what's going on? And screw it?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
What do you think is his most well known song?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Probably be humble. It's probably probably a humbler.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Swimming pools, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Swim poles old, but nope, he did a song we
hadn't even heard yet. That's pretty crazy. So anyway, that's
what that's my thoughts. But visually, it was awesome when
they were doing the flag, that's so cool, and we
couldn't only see that from up there.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Of course we had a better vantage point for yeah,
what what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
People?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
All the dancers when they turned we were behind it
on about the forty yard line, and the screens weren't
good because they kept turning them off and on and
they would get on TV. You guys were on the OtherSide,
looking right down.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
We could see the whole field, and then whenever they
switched to screens, I would just look the other way
and I could see everything happening, like I saw when
like Sam Jackson was down there. I saw everything.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I asked my wife too, without any leading her into
knowing that I couldn't really hear anything. I said, what
you think of the halftime show? And she's a massive
Sissa fan and she's the reason that we listened to
so much Kitch Lamar and mostly Sizza. She was like,
I thought it was awesome because I'm a fan of
and she knew except for the one song that wasn't new,
she knew every song and so I was like, it
was cool on TV. She was like, yeah it visually
(11:29):
it was amazing and if you knew the songs, you
loved it. But again, I don't think enough people that
watched the Super Bowl Jen Pop in Iowa and Florida
and California and age seven and seventy three knew enough. Kendrick,
that's my final, my final stance on it. That's not
even a stance your opinion, Thank you, and you know what,
(11:50):
I deserve it because it's America, yours man. And yeah,
Serena was dancing because do you know Serena's brother was
shot and killed by the cribs.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Oh, I remember that from the movie about the family
on HBO, King or King Richard.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Richard And she must hate Drake so much that she
was doing the crip walk on stage with Kendrick and
the A was a small a A minor, A minor.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
I got that part. Well, you had to explained to me.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
While we were watching it, little nuggets.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I'm sure there are hundred nuggets we don't even know
yet that went into that thing. Okay, So there's my
opinion and my stands, although I not really standing on anything,
just my opinion. Do you want to bring Jason in Scuba?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
I'm gonna tell you though, I looked at that that
you should watch. No. No, I looked at that that
Zoom password.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
It looks different, does it?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Does? It looks different? I'm gonna do a little research
while we do this interview.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
So we're bringing Jason in. Hey, Jason going to see
a buddy hop on over there. So this is Jason,
aren't remember we tell him is a person? We never
met him?
Speaker 6 (12:55):
Oh no, we've seen yeah, here you go.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Oh yeah, we did see him on zoom for a
little bit. That's why he was familiar looking. Yeah, So
Jason called.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Us a ball player, your ball player.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
It used to be still, well you're still playing? What
year are you?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Then?
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Well, I'm not in college anymore, then what are you playing?
So I kind of I.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Kind of, yeah, I kind of teased that a little bit,
no way, but I couldn't announce it fully because it
wasn't like announce it out yet. So we I'm on
a brand new team in that organization that does. It's
like based around the band, so I'll be like singing
and playing left field and wait, hold on, wait.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Like a like a parody baseball team.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
We don't want to get you in trouble. No, no, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I don't know what you could say that banana team.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
Yeah, it's the same thing. So we'll travel and play
with against them and all that.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
And there's like four teams now there.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
They're they're creating a league of that entertainment, like.
Speaker 7 (13:52):
This year there's like a championship league and really play
like winner take all.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well, I watched the guy that started that. I'll watch
him do talks and he talks in all yellow.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
He's awesome.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, and just his vision behind it early on, and
it's it's the Harlem glob trotters of baseball and baseball generally,
like Major League Baseball has never been less interesting to America.
Like the ratings are so down, but it's the Savannah Bananas.
What they're showing is if you put something entertainment on
the field, they sell out baseball stadiums.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
I'm pretty sure every game so far as is going
to be or is already sold out.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
How did you end up be or did you audition?
Did you say I can play ball and singer.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
Way, So, my senior year of college, I was still
playing at UNCY Wilmington, and I was playing shows with
my band at the time, Like we were kind of
traveling around North Carolina and playing and putting songs out
at the same time, and that kind of got a
little bit of attentionion going and they caught wind of it,
and we're like, Okay, this would be a cool angle
to add a new team that does that and our system.
(14:58):
And so that's kind of how it worked.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
What is your team? Can you say your team namer?
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Yeah, so we're the Texas Tailgators.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
But that's fine, So it'll be it'll be cool.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
It's kind of like the styles like outlaw baseball, country Tailgates.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
What do you what do you do?
Speaker 7 (15:14):
I will be playing outfield and then lead singer for
the team band.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
So what does that mean? Team band? Does it play
before during? After?
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Okay, all all three? How do you play during?
Speaker 7 (15:28):
So it'll be like, if you want me to be
honest with you, what they told me is this has
never been done.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Before, so we'll figure it out. We'll figure it out
as we go.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
That's but I know that we'll have sets before and
after each game, and then it'll be like probably little
things in the middle, like I'll come in from left field,
like singing when I hit or something.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Well, they let you still play shows while you're out.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
Probably not.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
I mean we'll play Friday Saturday every week pretty much.
So it's not really wouldn't really work into that system.
But if we have awfully maybe.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
So May It starts in May and May four, twenty fifth,
Albuquerque Versus the Party Animals yep. So like the Party Animals.
There's the you are playing the Savanna Bananas, there's the Firefighters.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Do you know what each of their themes are?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yet?
Speaker 7 (16:18):
The Party Animals is like is wild? I mean them
people get wild for the Party Animal games. The Bananas
is more like the Yankees of the organization, and then
the Firefighters is kind of like it's still new, Like
last year was their first year, so they didn't really
get to do what they would call them headline games.
And that's where it's like your show, and so that's
kind of where you fit your your mold of the
(16:41):
style of game that you're playing.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
So okay. Just to rewind for everybody here, Jason sent
a video unto the mailbag and I'm covering a song
way way way back in.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
The day, and they'll lear about Jamie Johnson.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, And so we played it. We were like, yeah, dude,
there's something there. And then he called into the show
like two and a half years later to say you
had three songs out, and so I was like, dude,
change your name. He still hasn't so good for him,
only because it adds a cool name, but it's a
R E N d T. And it was like, if
you make it, that's gonna be cool because it's so different.
But there are also gonna be times where people are like,
(17:12):
I don't know how to say that, or if it's
like Jason aarndt dot com, that's gonna be hard to find.
There were We kind of weighed it. Yep, we waited,
and so he then sang on the phone, which never
turns out positive because the phone doesn't sound good, and
he still sounded good. We did a zoom interview with
him because we featured him on the Country Top thirty
for a song. My July you are playing shows. So
(17:36):
Valentine's Night and the fifteenth you're in Charleston, South Carolina. No,
you know, Greenville, North Carolina, then Charleston, South Carolina. So
you're playing shows before the season starts.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Yes, so I'll play.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
I'll play from this point forward pretty much every weekend.
We'll be on the road until like April first is
report day for spring training, and so that's kind of
when I shut down.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
But I'll play every weekend up until then.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Can you did you have to sign anything? Can you
After the season's over, you can still play. I can
still play, Okay. So it's just you just can't play
mostly because Friday and Saturday you're playing baseball.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Yeah, exactly, and will be I mean, I'll be gassed.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
I mean we're gonna be doing a lot, so it's
kind of it'll be hard for me to get out
outside of.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
That to play.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Are you playing much now?
Speaker 7 (18:20):
I'm playing a lot right now, twice a week Fridays
and Saturdays. Kind of wherever we end up going for
that weekend, it around the region and kind of moving
out and getting down and around and trying to cover
different spots that I've been before, and we've seen a
lot of uptake and people coming out that have been before,
which is really cool. To have people come back and
(18:41):
then people singing songs back to you is really cool,
and that's something that I've started to experience too. And
like requesting songs during your shows.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Did anybody randomly that you knew? Here? You on the
countdown and like, what the crap?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Yeah, so you guys will know this name Carolina Roy.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Oh the Yeah? So I was his dad?
Speaker 6 (19:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
No, no, okay.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
So I was at a Brett Young concert because my
mom is like the biggest Brett Young fan you'll ever meet.
And we went to that id of Off night. So
we go to that and I'm standing there just like
waiting in line for popcorn, and this dude comes up
to me and he goes, you're Jason right, And I
was like yeah, he goes, dude, I'm Carolina Roy. I
call in all the time to Bobby Bones. I was like,
that is the craziest thing we know, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That's funny. We don't even know what he looks like.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
Do what look he's taller, he's taller, good looking dude.
He's funny.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
We've tried to set him up with well, everybody, try
to set him up with with everybody. Was it a
difficult decision for you to go or how difficult was
the decision to go, Okay, I'm not going to tour
for three months or four months to play baseball whenever
it's been what your focus has been.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
So it really wasn't a hard decision when they laid
it out the way they did, because they kind of
told me they were like, all right, our fan base
is multi million people all over the country, all over
the world, and if you come do this with us,
I mean, you're gonna get to do what you already do,
just on a bigger stage because we have a full band.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
I'll get to play all my songs.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
In every set and you get to say your name.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Yep, my name is on the front of that for
my band.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
They're like, jump a jack, Jason here he is, like,
you know it's Jason, aren't.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
So it's it's kind of a it was almost a
no brainer. And the other things that are coming with
it is like kind of like you talk about with
Phil until you don't that kind of stuff. That's Jesse's
like motto is you know, like try new things. If
it fails, like learn from it, take it the next day.
And so they're the best at creating those unique moments
(20:36):
for fans that people take home and live with forever
and they'll never forget you because of that moment. And
that's kind of my thing as an entertainer is how
do I create those moments for every fan that comes
to my shows? At every show, you know that someone
goes home and remembers that forever. And so I'll get
to learn from the best of the best on how
to do that and create fan bases the way they have.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
And also, I mean you still got to take BP. Yep,
you still got a practice. Is it excited to get
to continue your ball career a bit too or had
you kind of already resign the fact that it's over
after I'm done at Wilmington.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
Well, I kind of resigned it. I had hung them
up in my head. I was like, I'm I'm cool.
Once we got towards the end of the year, I
had almost kind of checked out because I was like
getting ready for everything that was coming. And then that
call came in and I was like, I guess I
could still play a little bit. I guess, you know,
I don't really want to hang it up. Nobody wants
to hang it up. As an athlete, like you never
want to say, Okay, I'm done with this, but you
(21:30):
know you kind of come to that realization sometimes, and
it was a false realization, I guess, and I still
getting ram with it back in the sport.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
That's super cool. It's a big pivot, but it's one
that makes sense organically. Like you are playing ball, you
are a singer. Now you get to play ball and sing. Yeah,
that's pretty cool.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
It's cool. It's something that not very many people get
to say they have done.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Would the goal be to make it to the Bananas?
Like would the team that player? I don't know if
that's you know, if you're killing it with the party animals,
like hey, we got to call We're gonna call you
up to the Bananas because they're the known team right.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
Now, I wouldn't say that that would be as beneficial
for me because they don't have like a team band.
It's not really focused on that. Their whole team motto
is different, and so I kind of get to be
in the center of the band. So our band is
made up of baseball players on the team. The whole thing,
(22:26):
the whole the whole team, or the whole band is
made up of guys on the team, and so it's
kind of this cool aspect of, you know, we got
a bunch of baseball players who play instruments, let's put
them together. So it's it's I'm excited to do that,
And I wouldn't say I want to be on a
different team because that's my style.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
We're gonna come back with Jason just second. We have
to break for a minute because we're trying to catch
somebody scamming Amy. But we're gonna come back with Jason
after the break. So let's let's shut everything down and
then we're gonna try to catch the scammer and then
we'll be in a few minutes. Everybody good, Yeah, Okay, cool, Okay,
we're back on the podcast. We can't reveal too much
(23:04):
of what just happened, but it's basically half hour later,
it'll be on tomorrow's show.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
You look like you've seen an alien. You don't even
know what to do right now with your face.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Is I couldn't believe we got that far. That's all
I will say. And Jason stated with us the whole time.
We won't reveal too much because it'll be on tomorrow's show.
We recorded it, but Jason was sitting right next to
Amy and her computer. That definitely went deeper than I
thought it would.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
It was pretty well.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I've never seen something like that for me either, so Tomorrow' show.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
But it gives us a better idea of how they
get like.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
If someone was more vulnerable or didn't know as much
about computers, like how they could easily access something.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
I will say, for a second, I did think you
were going to do it.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I think the whole room and the little concern that
Amy has had to fall forward again. Okay, so that
will be on tomorrow's.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Show, like how does he live with himself?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
That's the next day I was on today show. We
just did all that. We have a guest here and
then let's not be rude. Now she's wanting to go back.
What if I click into it now? Jason? How long
are you in town?
Speaker 6 (24:13):
I mean I'll probably leave Thursday.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
So what are you playing any anywhere around here? Do
you have friends here?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
No?
Speaker 7 (24:19):
So I'm gonna I'm gonna go get up with my
producer and kind of work through two of the new
songs that were getting ready to get going for this summer.
I didn't record them, yeah, well not really record them,
kind of pre production stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
No, I mean you're picking. If you're that's what you're
working on songs, you're going.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, and then I'll be back next month
to fully cut him.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
And how often do you come to Nashville?
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Probably once a month for right now?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Who are we talking to? Oh?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Matt.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
So one of our buddies is Matt Stell, who when
he was an early artist, you know, and he was
kind of red dirt, but he was coming to Nashville
like once a once a month, like coming in doing
his thing, and then he was like, man, I never
really could get a full grasp of it until I moved. There.
Is that, ever, the intention to just move to Nashville?
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Yeah, so I'm kind of right now I'm looking to
move full time once the season ends with the Texas
Tailgators in kind of like October.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Is there a home base for the Tailgators or do
you just s down the road so well, that would suck.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
For this year, We're still still based in Savannah, Georgia,
But I think the intention because next year they're adding
two more teams to this league well, and I think
their goal is to make it like regional, so where
like Texas would be in Texas, and then they'll have
one like on the West Coast.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Like the UFL, the football leagu's happening. They're all based.
They have a center maybe in Dallas or Vegas where
the team. There's like six teams and they all kind
of I think it's Vegas and they all kind of
live there. But it feels like that's what this is
at first, like all the teams are in the same
place and you go and you play.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
So are you living in Savanna?
Speaker 6 (26:00):
I will be, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
I moved down mid March and I'll be there for
spring training and which will be like baseball spring training,
and then after that it'll be you know, get the
band in shape, get them ready to go, make sure
that they know what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
You have friends here in Nashville a lot.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
I've been kind of coming for about a year now
and met a lot of good friends here that I
stay in touch with over pretty much every day.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Arlington, Texas is the hub city for the UFL, the
UFO headquarters. I'd see address there, but all the teams
are there, like the cities that have teams, so they're
all based there the same way that they're all be
based in Savannah, all eight of them.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
And the Arlington Renegades. I guess that's their home base.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Well, that's all their home bases. They just they're the
only Arlington. Yes, yeah, they's just represent other teams. That's
really cool, man. So you start you do some shows.
Oh man, we got all that. So here's Jason's schedule
if you guys are I want to go see the
fourteenth and fifteenth Greenville, North Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, February
(27:04):
twenty eighth, Clemson, South Carolina, and then three other North
Carolina dates and Wilmington, Charlotte and Greenville, and then it's
baseball time. Are you throwing now?
Speaker 7 (27:12):
Just to make sure I haven't really started my arm
care stuff yet. I've been hitting a little bit. I've
got a messed up elbow, so I kind of from
from I used to be a picture and I messed
up my elbow and never got it fixed. So I
just kind of slowly worked my way into it, but
try not to overdo it. Is the single still my
(27:33):
July single is my July, but the most recent one
is a single called could have Been that I put
out in January.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
All right, cool, well, dude one, good to see you
in person. It's it's been a slow build up.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
We talked to him on the phone. We zuomed him.
It's like he scammed us. He slowly, he slowly got
to see we're in got to meet him in person,
and then I got to meet him here. And that's
super cool, dude. I hope you have an awesome like
three or four months playing with the team and continue
to let us know when you put songs out, and
I don't know, we'll check in again in a couple
(28:07):
of months or so.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
That'd be super amy. Anything for Amy's face is still
in scratchy face.

Speaker 3 (29:49):

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Oh yeah, but I know work all those killed her life.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I know exactly what every tab is and I need it.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Okay, some stuff. We will move from this. I just
encourage everyone. If you're listening and you're watching us on YouTube,
tomorrow's show, it'll be on. It'll also be on the podcast,
and we're gonna put on the whole thing on the podcast.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
You want to put the whole thing up on YouTube,
you gotta put that video on YouTube, right.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
So we'll talk about after it because that was for
such sure and I'm not gonna say anything. We'll have
to talk about it after. Okay. I don't even know
where we go from here.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
That was awesome.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Okay. Uh, the guy that played Roydy Mercer died. Are
you guess familiar calls? It's a very southern thing, but
or I don't know like like it. I mean, I
say a lot of Southern Hispanic culture kind.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Of blends, yes, for sure.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Mercer. Roy roy D Mercer. We used to listen to
his prank calls all the time, and they were based
out of KMOD and Tulsa. But the guy who played
that character, roy D Mercer, died, I was looking at
the KMOD Twitter. It is for the heavy heart that
we share the passing of Brent Douglas roy D Mercer,
one of the patriarchs of KMOD. Our thoughts and deepest
(35:27):
condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who
are lucky enough to have Brent in their lives. Rock
and Piece Brent hashtag roy D Mercer. I'll even at
times when I'm on with somebody a little hidden tip
of the cap reference, but I'm like, how big old
boy are you? He would say that in just about
ever recall how Big Old Boy are You? And the
guy about six two two eight. So yeah, saw that.
(35:50):
I didn't know him, but listen to him and listen
to those calls because I didn't live in Tulsa, but
I listened those calls somehow got to me as a kid.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
They made like CDs I think he released use. I
remember people really bringing those by and let's just listening
to him.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
And I think probably ours were taped recorded off those
CDs illegally.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Brent Douglass and Phil Stone, DJs at rock music radio
station KMOD and Tulsa, Oklahoma, created the Roydy Mercer character
in nineteen ninety three. Initially, they use a character on
comedy sketches for the radio station. Prank calls. Sketches were
part of the morning show, and then they became legendary.
There was a guy on TikTok It's a radio show somewhere,
(36:28):
and I was watching his video and he was doing
a bit naming a song in one second. It's pretty
good at it, but he's like, watch I can name
the song on one second. And then another show started
doing it and he was like, I think he knows
the guy who's doing it. He's like they lifted my
bit or something like that, and I was like, h
(36:49):
We've been doing that bit for like ten years, and
we lifted that bit from Name that Tune the TV
show because that's like a nineteen sixties game show where
it's like how many notes I can name it notes.
Then we just started going one second a song. We've
played that game for years and years, so I challenged him. Friendly, Oh, friendly, Friendly.
I was like, hey, we've been doing this like ten years.
I probably have memorized a bunch, so it could be
(37:11):
a little cheating because I think I've memorized more. But
I was like, WrestleMania, we up. Now you can get
a response or anything. But I always think it's funny
when radio guys and I'm not even saying them because
it was a real epidemic for a long time, but
they're like, this person's stealing my bit, and it's like, one,
we've been doing it, and we stole it from a
game show from like that was before we were alive, right,
(37:33):
the original named that tune and they stand up and
there's a guy in a piano because the new version
has Randy Jackson on it, but the old one had
to be like sixties or seventies, and like, I can
name that tune in three notes, Doom, Doom, doom, And
then we nineteen fifty two, Oh dang, it premiered on
NBC radio. Dude, that was when they gathered around the
freaking radio with.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Like xylophones and all these noise makers.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
You mean, just for the broadcast, Oh, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Yeah, Like there's old footage of people recording a radio
show and yeah, you're right, there's like twenty people in there,
all doing different things.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
And moved to television and the fifties, CBS picked up
the show and carried it through fifty nine. In the
nineteen seventies, NBC broadcast two daytime versions of the show. Yeah,
I mean, we totally stole it from that. But I'm
pretty good at the one second of song game. I
might be the best ever. I'm being honest, I might
be the best ever. That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Has anyone stolen Bobby sings one second or one note?
What is the game that we play?
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:30):
That nor should? They don't?
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Where Bobby goes.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
That's a pretty bad game. That's a pretty bad game. Yeah.
I think I'm the only one that can pull that
one off because it's so bad. I do There was another.
I don't even want to go. I don't want to
get triggered triggered about a whole different thing that we
used to do that I knew a producer that ended
up taking it to TV. I want to be triggered,
(38:54):
so move on. Sometimes I want to be triggered, be triggered.
I don't today because I'm still a little bit tired
from our trip, which I don't want to be trigger
talking about the trip either, because I got so irritated yesterday,
I know, but I get tired. I get triggered. Somebody
(39:17):
in the company was was like, man, you guys had
a lot of fun times out, you know, just he
kind of referenced with just goofing around for a week,
and I was like, bro, we did two we did
we did market visits and charity shows and then did
two It didn't matter.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Did we find time to have fun? Sure, you guys did.
I was sick for two days, like we Yeah. There
was a point where like, oh, we're going to force
ourselves to do something, and then like two hours later
we're like, I want to go back to the hotel.
Speaker 7 (39:46):
Got bit.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
I got annoyed that it was treated like it was
a what we did something at the very end that
was cool. It was like a once in a lifetime thing.
But it doesn't matter. Yeah, prefer not to be triggered.
But I'm still a little u a little tired. I
had to make sure to lose my voice though, like
drink a lot of water because We did lots of
singing on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights, lots of interviews, multiple shows,
(40:08):
so I got to make sure I don't want to
come down with a sinus infection, right, just sinuses, That's
what it was. Man, I don't even know where we go? Hey, Ray,
how long? Total eighteen on this one? Yeah? What about
the first half?
Speaker 5 (40:27):
It's at least twenty five?
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Really at least? Okay, that'd be good. Then what is today? Tuesday?
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Uh? We're Tuesday? Okay, God, that's fun.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
What the whole thing happened? The whole thing? And if
you're like, man, what happened to them? The whole thing
happened in between while you guys like heard a commercial
or something. We had shut down for half an hour
to do the scam thing and it got out of control.
So that's a little bit why we're off center a bit.
The whole company almost got hacked.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
