Speaker 4 (00:12):
That's going Yeah, you're talking about driving down the road
the sprinkler attend and I got car and that brought
back memories of my father. What happened. My dad was
our biggest supporter and encourage her. He was always our
football coach, coach, baseball coach, but he also put the fear.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
Of God in us.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
We were driving down the road coming back from a
baseball game once, coming down the side tree and or
some kids off the side of the road playing baseball,
and they hit this ball and they came right in
our car and here my dad inside of the head
and then my brother looked at each other, and my
dad slams on the brakes and jumps out of the
car and I'm like, they're going to get it. He
picked up the bar and hands it back to him
(00:52):
and just tell him to be safe, and it just
blew my mind and I'm like we would have gotten
so much trouble for that. Yeah, he's awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Well, I could say this. He probably knew that that
was a long shot to ever have that happen.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Oh my goodness, Oh yeah, of course. You know they're
riding in the window. You know, I can never forget that.
And I say saying to look only hour of us
his faith in that chorus, like something was going to happen.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Oh yeah, Well, thank you so much, Randy for calling in.
It's always so nice to relive some of those favorite
memories and moments. I'm glad we got to make you
think of that one again. All right, Cayden, we're going
to you on the phone lines. Do we say Happy Father's.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Day to you, Cayden?
Speaker 6 (01:35):
Hey, mindy, Happy Father's Day to everybody there, and happy
father and Day to all the fathers, grandfathers and uncles.
I forgot to call in and just get my Father's
Day to my father and then to my grandfather. I
share a lot of my memories with my dad, and
particularly my grandfather, my great uncle. Sometimes I call my
(01:56):
great uncle my grand my great grandfather by accident, but
it happened.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
So, Kaden, what's the best story about your dad?
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (02:08):
The way he used to come up and.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
He used to pick me up from school, when I
was in the when I was an elementary and intermediate,
and he always asked me about how everything, how my
day was, And you know, that's kind of the usual
when you know, you're the parents of the oldest child
and when they're coming home from school and you know,
they they jump them back and they say, oh, either
I'm tired, or it was a long day at school
(02:31):
or was boring. So I kind of just have those
fond memories and you know, I still carry them to
this day, and honestly, I can never ask for a
better father.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
You know that's great because I think so many times
we go through life and you know, dads are the
roffer and the gruffer, and a lot of times people
don't say I love you to dad as much as
they do to mom. And you never want to be
in that situation because there's going to be a time
where we won't have our dads anymore. And Boots and
I both don't and have our dads anymore. And Chris,
who's producing the show, he's in the same situation. So
(03:04):
don't ever take those moments for granted. Tell your dad
that you love him no matter what.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
So real quick. My old man, we called him the
old Man, and we had a four wheeler. My brother Doug,
I know, he's rebably listening, and we were deer hunting
that year, and my dad goes, we had a ramp.
So we loaded to the four wheeler in the back of
my dad's truck and my dad goes, all, I got it,
and we're like, oh, okay, we wrote it up real slow. Well,
my dad thought he had to get a run for it.
This is this my brother call you die. We're like,
(03:31):
what's he doing? What's he doing? Went through the back
of his truck, flipped over the roof.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Oh my god, broke his glasses. I'm surprised I saw
it all. That's the only thing that he broke.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Didn't get hurt. And we all looked after like, it's
like the old if we would have done that. I
looked at my older brother, and my oldest brother came
out of the woods going, what in the world's he doing?
I went, you won't believe it. I had to get
on my back, put my shoulders against the dashboard. This
is the seventy eight f one. They were all metal.
They weren't plastically there now, and I had a leg
(04:03):
press the back of the cab, back in the bed
while my brothers pulled on the bed so we could
make it home. It was cold.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Where were the cell phones back then? Could you imagine?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Oh I had a video that we'd have been ten
thousand dollars a hour. Absolutely, And it's one of the
stories when we get my oldest brothers to cease down.
But before he passed, one of the three of us together,
we always brought up the time. Dad. Still to this day,
I go he was so conservative and so not taking chances,
and he had to be going fifteen min out, you guys,
(04:37):
I just got even get hurt. Then he walked in
the door.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
See that to witness that.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
We watched it live. And my mom when he walked
in the door and said her mom, how are you?
She goes you broke your glasses? How stupid are you?
Speaker 8 (04:48):
Knew my mom?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
He should be dead right now.
Speaker 4 (04:52):

He's always teaches how the stuff. You know. He teaches
how to like how to swim, you know. He throw
us off the boat and we do our house from
Once we got out of the bag, it was pretty
easy after that. But uh, he's always teaching this stuff,
you know. So he was a great father.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
That's how I learned how to swim.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
You know, I hate what in the lake and said

Speaker 8 (05:42):

Getting out of the hard part.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You know, one of our favorite most loyal listeners. We
appreciate you. Let's go to John. We have another Father's
Day story we believe John. First of all, are you
a dad?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh yeah, happy Father's Day?
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Then, well, thank you very much. I was calling in
about my I was calling in about my dad.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Okay, I'll bring it.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
He was a man that raised me right. And when
I was sixteen, I was stupid. You know. One of
my friends decided he wanted to run away, so I
went with him. Oh boy, and I ended up in
uh Making County in a jail. My dad came all
the way down, picked me up, and we drove all
(06:34):
the way from Georgia back to Ohio and my dad
did not speak a word to me all the way.
Once we got home, I'm sitting there and my dad
looked across the room at me and he goes, you
need to stand up, and I'm like, oh my god,
my dad's gonna come over and beat the you know,
(06:56):
holy crap out of me.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
Up.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
My dad walked across the room, hug kissed me, cried
and said, don't you ever do that to me anyway?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Yeah, my dad was one hell of a man.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
That's awesome. That's a good.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Thank you so much for sharing that story. I miss
my dad, you know, like I said, we always want
more time, and you think of that song, give me
five more minutes. We always want more time because it's
never the right time, and we have to say goodbye
to our dads or our moms. And so why you
really have to just cherish all that time that you
(07:38):
do have together, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So, I don't know how I would have been as
a dad to a son.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Oh, I think you would have been a great I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Know, because I expect so much out of it.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
See, I think he would have been a better dad
to a son than to a daughter. And you were
a great dad to your daughter. But I bet because
you're such a guys guy and like a gearhead and
all that stuff, a little boy would have loved having
you as his dad.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Can you imagine?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
My first wife and I often talked about it, taking.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Him to a strip joint when he was ten years old.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah, they got him a date.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
He would have loved it.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
No, No, like my daughter my first wife when we
used to have family talks and my wife's like because
my wife's brothers were stoners and stuff and not athletes
and at that time, and I really had a problem
with that because I thought everyone should play sports. I
thought everyone should be respectful, and I think I was
scared of my coaches and my father scared respectful, scared
(08:30):
because I didn't want to let them down, and my
dad seeming to hold a door for an old lady.
Or when it snowed, don't go for the money shovel with.
My dad got mad because I go around and sell
driveway shoveling. He'd be, these old ladies are nice. You
go shovel with driveway for free? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 8 (08:46):
Boy?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
And I would do that and then they would pay me.
So what he taught me was don't tell him what price,
and this here, I want to shovel your driveway to
be nice. And then they always gave you a ten
or twenty.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
And that's okay. That was the way it teach you
to pay them little boys too for helping out. But
no life lessons that you learned from your dad. You
would have carried those same things down to your son.
I think you're short changing yourself.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I thought he would have been a wasn't allowed to cry.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
We weren't allowed to cry unless it was a funeral
or you know, your puppy get ran over in front
of you.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Crying's okay, I know, but now.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I still when I do shed a tear, it bothers me.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
But weren't allow thing meant something to you, you know.
I mean, I'm gonna be honest with you. I hope
Brandy doesn't get mad at me. But you know, he
was a little emotional after losing his father. We're walking
out of out of the church yesterday and you can't help,
but you know, wipe his tears.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
If you don't, then did it really mean anything?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
The only thing it helps losing your father. I lost
my dad and I was twenty one years old. The
only thing that helped me was time. First five years. Yes,
I was so bitter and mad and why and he
was fifty seven years old, and why you finally get
to enjoy him and we finally were bonding where we
had no rules. You could say the F word in
front of it and you'd be cool. You know, you're not
(10:06):
supposed to do that. But we're out in the woods
and you could be a man with your dad, you
know what I mean? And not losing I'm jealous of
my two brothers in a nice way that they got
to live with the adult life with that and say
corny jokes and make over a pretty woman on an
up sidewalk. This is what men do, you know, and
not that that's right. But I never got to share
(10:26):
that with my father, and I was bitter. But as
I get older, I can remember the times that we
did have and how positive it was, and how strict
he was, and when I screwed up, as long as
I didn't lie to him, he was a don't lie
to me dad. Like I got a buddy of mine
wrapped his car around a pole. We were drag racing,
but I was drag racing the other kid. I came
(10:47):
home through in my keys and I got grounded for
a few weeks. And then when the coach threw me
across the library by my throat because he found out
about it, my dad came down school and walked the coaches,
but which I was realized, like, wow, Dad has my back.
And my dad told the coach, but you've owned all
three of my boys. They're my boys. I don't need
you grabbing him by his throat, throwing him across the library.
That's right, And my dad goes, I'll grab you by
(11:07):
your throat.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You would have been that exact same way, Doug, we've
got one. We've got time for one more call, but
you have about forty five seconds.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Happy Father's Day to you, Doug. Is that appropriate? Are
you a dad?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (11:19):
I am?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Oh, there he is. That's my brother.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh, dog, I don't have enough time for you. Someday,
I'm just gonna sit down stories.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
We can hold the brake off a little bit for him,
because I might be Dan's I might as well be
Dan's dad too. As many times I had to get
him out of trouble.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
How bad was he, Doug?
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Oh my, that's a whole other show.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
One of these days, we're going to have you on
on sibling Day.
Speaker 8 (11:46):
I will you let me know, I'll come up.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
How about the quad Runner, Doug, I was telling that story.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Yeah, it was pretty good that dad. Well, we pulled
up to a gravel pile and and Dad's like, well,
let me loaded. That's a dad, you know. You know.
He hit it pretty hard and bouncing forward and the
sigh hit the throttle and he went right through the
back glass of his truck. Over there. He lands on
the on the hood of the cab of the truck.
(12:12):
I'm sorry the cab he lived up on top Yeah.
He turt of looked at me and Dan and just smiled.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
And what year was that? How many years ago?
Speaker 8 (12:23):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Lord, that had to be eighty five, eighty four.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, yeah, around there talking about it and still laughing
about it.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Those are great memories, Doug. We're so glad you called it.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
But seriously, we need to have you on on a
different day, in a different time, and I want you
to just uncover all the goods about Boots.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
Boy I was I don't know what. I don't even
what what the show would be rated even.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yeah, exactly. Hey, one question before we let you go.
Do you think Boots would have been a good dad
to a son?
Speaker 8 (12:57):
He is a good dad. I have to get him that.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
He may have the other flaws that we can all
point out, but.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
He doesn't think that he would be a good dab
if he would have had his son, and I think he.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Would have been.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:11):
They worked so hard to get NICKI it was, it
was so so he was so happy when he knew
he was gonna have a kid. I have to say,
I he uh, he would have been. He would have
been a good dad to more kids. He really would
have been. Yeah, I agree with but look how Nicki.
Nicki turned out great, so you know, I'm sure he
would have been great.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
So yeah, she she was my carry Underwood, not my
Kelly Pickler.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
We truly are all blessed the nightmares and the stories
you hear. We're truly blessed with how all of our
kids turned out.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Really, I'm sure, but that's what makes life.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Life is for the living, and you do adventurous things
to talk about it, to laugh about it and remember
those memories.
Speaker 2 (13:48):

Speaker 2 (05:38):
You know, I hate what in the lake and said
do it no.
Speaker 8 (05:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 9 (05:43):
Getting out of the hard part.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You know, one of our favorite most loyal listeners. We
appreciate you. Let's go to John. We have another Father's
Day story we believe John. First of all, are you
a dad?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh yeah, happy Father's Day?
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Then, well, thank you very much. I was calling in
about my I was calling in about my dad.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Okay, I'll bring it.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
He was a man that raised me right. And when
I was sixteen, I was stupid. You know. One of
my friends decided he wanted to run away, so I
went with him. Oh boy, and I ended up in
uh Making County in a jail. My dad came all
the way down, picked me up, and we drove all
(06:34):
the way from Georgia back to Ohio and my dad
did not speak a word to me all the way.
Once we got home, I'm sitting there and my dad
looked across the room at me and he goes, you
need to stand up, and I'm like, oh my god,
my dad's gonna come over and beat the you know,
(06:56):
holy crap out of me.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
Up.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
My dad walked across the room, hug kissed me, cried
and said, don't you ever do that to me anyway?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Yeah, my dad was one hell of a man.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
That's awesome. That's a good.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Thank you so much for sharing that story. I miss
my dad, you know, like I said, we always want
more time, and you think of that song, give me
five more minutes. We always want more time because it's
never the right time, and we have to say goodbye
to our dads or our moms. And so why you
really have to just cherish all that time that you
(07:38):
do have together, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So, I don't know how I would have been as
a dad to a son.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Oh, I think you would have been a great I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Know, because I expect so much out of it.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
See, I think he would have been a better dad
to a son than to a daughter. And you were
a great dad to your daughter. But I bet because
you're such a guys guy and like a gearhead and
all that stuff, a little boy would have loved having
you as his dad.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Can you imagine?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
My first wife and I often talked about it, taking.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Him to a strip joint when he was ten years old.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah, they got him a date.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
He would have loved it.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
No, No, like my daughter my first wife when we
used to have family talks and my wife's like because
my wife's brothers were stoners and stuff and not athletes
and at that time, and I really had a problem
with that because I thought everyone should play sports. I
thought everyone should be respectful, and I think I was
scared of my coaches and my father scared respectful, scared
(08:30):
because I didn't want to let them down, and my
dad seeming to hold a door for an old lady.
Or when it snowed, don't go for the money shovel with.
My dad got mad because I go around and sell
driveway shoveling. He'd be, these old ladies are nice. You
go shovel with driveway for free? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 8 (08:46):
Boy?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
And I would do that and then they would pay me.
So what he taught me was don't tell him what price,
and this here, I want to shovel your driveway to
be nice. And then they always gave you a ten
or twenty.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
And that's okay. That was the way it teach you
to pay them little boys too for helping out. But
no life lessons that you learned from your dad. You
would have carried those same things down to your son.
I think you're short changing yourself.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I thought he would have been a wasn't allowed to cry.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
We weren't allowed to cry unless it was a funeral
or you know, your puppy get ran over in front
of you.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Crying's okay, I know, but now.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I still when I do shed a tear, it bothers me.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
But weren't allow thing meant something to you, you know.
I mean, I'm gonna be honest with you. I hope
Brandy doesn't get mad at me. But you know, he
was a little emotional after losing his father. We're walking
out of out of the church yesterday and you can't help,
but you know, wipe his tears.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
If you don't, then did it really mean anything?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
The only thing it helps losing your father. I lost
my dad and I was twenty one years old. The
only thing that helped me was time. First five years. Yes,
I was so bitter and mad and why and he
was fifty seven years old, and why you finally get
to enjoy him and we finally were bonding where we
had no rules. You could say the F word in
front of it and you'd be cool. You know, you're not
(10:06):
supposed to do that. But we're out in the woods
and you could be a man with your dad, you
know what I mean? And not losing I'm jealous of
my two brothers in a nice way that they got
to live with the adult life with that and say
corny jokes and make over a pretty woman on an
up sidewalk. This is what men do, you know, and
not that that's right. But I never got to share
(10:26):
that with my father, and I was bitter. But as
I get older, I can remember the times that we
did have and how positive it was, and how strict
he was, and when I screwed up, as long as
I didn't lie to him, he was a don't lie
to me dad. Like I got a buddy of mine
wrapped his car around a pole. We were drag racing,
but I was drag racing the other kid. I came
(10:47):
home through in my keys and I got grounded for
a few weeks. And then when the coach threw me
across the library by my throat because he found out
about it, my dad came down school and walked the coaches,
but which I was realized, like, wow, Dad has my back.
And my dad told the coach, but you've owned all
three of my boys. They're my boys. I don't need
you grabbing him by his throat, throwing him across the library.
That's right, And my dad goes, I'll grab you by
(11:07):
your throat.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You would have been that exact same way, Doug, we've
got one. We've got time for one more call, but
you have about forty five seconds.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Happy Father's Day to you, Doug. Is that appropriate? Are
you a dad?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (11:19):
I am?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Oh, there he is. That's my brother.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh, dog, I don't have enough time for you. Someday,
I'm just gonna sit down stories.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
We can hold the brake off a little bit for him,
because I might be Dan's I might as well be
Dan's dad too. As many times I had to get
him out of trouble.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
How bad was he, Doug?
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Oh my, that's a whole other show.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
One of these days, we're going to have you on
on sibling Day.
Speaker 8 (11:46):
I will you let me know, I'll come up.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
How about the quad Runner, Doug, I was telling that story.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Yeah, it was pretty good that dad. Well, we pulled
up to a gravel pile and and Dad's like, well,
let me loaded. That's a dad, you know. You know.
He hit it pretty hard and bouncing forward and the
sigh hit the throttle and he went right through the
back glass of his truck. Over there. He lands on
the on the hood of the cab of the truck.
(12:12):
I'm sorry the cab he lived up on top Yeah.
He turt of looked at me and Dan and just smiled.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
And what year was that? How many years ago?
Speaker 8 (12:23):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Lord, that had to be eighty five, eighty four.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, yeah, around there talking about it and still laughing
about it.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Those are great memories, Doug. We're so glad you called it.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
But seriously, we need to have you on on a
different day, in a different time, and I want you
to just uncover all the goods about Boots.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
Boy I was I don't know what. I don't even
what what the show would be rated even.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yeah, exactly. Hey, one question before we let you go.
Do you think Boots would have been a good dad
to a son?
Speaker 8 (12:57):
He is a good dad. I have to get him that.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
He may have the other flaws that we can all
point out, but.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
He doesn't think that he would be a good dab
if he would have had his son, and I think he.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Would have been.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:11):
They worked so hard to get NICKI it was, it
was so so he was so happy when he knew
he was gonna have a kid. I have to say,
I he uh, he would have been. He would have
been a good dad to more kids. He really would
have been. Yeah, I agree with but look how Nicki.
Nicki turned out great, so you know, I'm sure he
would have been great.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
So yeah, she she was my carry Underwood, not my
Kelly Pickler.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
We truly are all blessed the nightmares and the stories
you hear. We're truly blessed with how all of our
kids turned out.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Really, I'm sure, but that's what makes life.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Life is for the living, and you do adventurous things
to talk about it, to laugh about it and remember
those memories.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Doug, thank you so much for calling in.

All right, sure, thanks.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Let's see this is raw Indian Boots always brought you
