speaking at the Rhyman, and itjust struck me wrong.

SPEAKER_08 (00:51):
Really?
Believe that's happening.
She's coming to Nashville andhas a speaking engagement at the
Ryman.

You know what I mean?
Something more.
It actually should be at a bar.

SPEAKER_05 (01:06):
Just because you think you're right or we think
we're right doesn't mean it'snot being controversial.
Because someone else doesn'tagree with you.
So right away.

feels good.
Just so everybody knows.
Hold on before you go.
Just so everybody knows, we dohave a bunch of great guests
coming on.
We had to do the four of us,though, because we were talking

(02:55):
about stuff.
Unfortunately for the listeners.
No, they're going to love thisepisode.
This is going to be one of ourbest.
We are the Patriot MobileStudios, powered by eSpaces.
We're going to thank PatriotMobile, Original Glory, and of
course eSpaces.
We've got a new one to talkabout, which we'll get to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But what were you saying?
One of you guys was saying is ifyou wanted to get to something
quick, what was it?

SPEAKER_06 (03:16):
Oh no, we talked about um I told uh Tully we were
talking about interstates anddirections, like how close we
were to 65, right?
And so then I told Tully said,said, Hey, you know that that
the odd numbers run north andsouth.
And he didn't know that.
And I'm blown away.
So 65 be north and south.
It's because he's in the eastand west.

SPEAKER_05 (03:37):
I just don't know how I went 50 years.
I mean 35 years and notunderstanding or knowing that
north and south was odd numbers.

SPEAKER_08 (03:47):
Well, 16 of those you weren't driving, so you can
still practice.

SPEAKER_05 (03:50):
Still, but I spent all my years, you know, on the
road essentially.
Yeah.
You know, one form or another.
Right.
Um Neil, did you know this?
Yeah, I did.

SPEAKER_04 (04:00):
I don't know if you did.
I did.
Well, it's not a workshop.
You know, I did.
Always on your right.
Okay.

SPEAKER_05 (04:06):
I ignore always straight that.
I have another beef.
If someone, if someone says,listen to me, the listeners.
If somebody says, hey, if if I'mat the front of the building,
the door, and someone says, hey.
Hypothetically, if someone saysif someone says, you know, if
I'm at the front of the door andsomeone goes, hey, go to the

(04:27):
east side of the building.
I'm going east.
Well, you mean you're goingright?
East.
My going my east, your east.

SPEAKER_06 (04:36):
Yeah, you just say, uh, Siri, which way is east from
where I'm standing?

SPEAKER_05 (04:40):
Well, how do you supposed to know if you got
unless you got a compass andyou're sitting there?
I agree.
Something's silly.

SPEAKER_06 (04:46):
That's a little different.
But we're talking aboutinterstates and you know things
like that.

SPEAKER_09 (04:50):
You would think of all the years that you that you
guys have been on the road, thatyou would have spent a little
time in the jump seat next tothe driver.
Talk to the driver and go, hey,I was just wondering.
I have a question for you.
Why are these interstates namedand numbered like they are?

SPEAKER_05 (05:04):
Did everybody know that odd numbers run?

SPEAKER_08 (05:07):
I think everybody at this table did, but you're
right.
We should ask the listeners.
Yeah, I'll show them hope thatI'm not the only one.

SPEAKER_06 (05:13):
I only learned it a few years ago, and I I guarantee
you, I guarantee you thatthey're there truckers that
drive every day and have for 20years.
There's a there's a few truckersout there that are learning new
information right now.
I just wonder if I'm so aloof toeverything around me that I just
know until about five years ago.

SPEAKER_08 (05:33):
We should do an Instagram poll.
We'll do that.
We'll see how many people.
Yeah, who knew that?
Yeah, but but are are webreaking the news?

SPEAKER_07 (05:39):
I I think that's a good idea.
No, we are not breaking thenews.
No, we're not breaking it.
We're breaking it to somebody.

SPEAKER_06 (05:45):
Me.

SPEAKER_07 (05:45):
Yeah.
You and somebody else.
That everybody here, even Jim,knew.
Jim's smarter than all of us,probably.
He's got a lot of worthlessinformation in that.
I know.
But do you think Rich knowsthis?

SPEAKER_08 (06:00):
I know you think no?
I bet he doesn't.
No, he's a drummer.

SPEAKER_04 (06:03):
He's a drummer.

SPEAKER_08 (06:04):
Hurt.

SPEAKER_04 (06:04):
Okay, you're right.

SPEAKER_08 (06:06):
You're right, he doesn't.

SPEAKER_05 (06:07):
I know Al Dean doesn't.
No way.

SPEAKER_06 (06:10):
Right?
Well, he doesn't drive, does he?
Yes, people drive him, so Idon't yeah.
He wouldn't have the need forthat knowledge.

SPEAKER_05 (06:18):
But it's so my mind's so blown because now I'm
I'm thinking back to everyinterstate I've been on.
Like, I'm like, wow.

SPEAKER_09 (06:26):

I mean, I've been on the roadfor years.

I mean, I'm not saying it's bad.
We've known it a long time.
I learned it today.

SPEAKER_06 (06:39):
But that's exciting.
That's why we're doing thispodcast is to teach people basic
things, Tully.

SPEAKER_05 (06:45):

I feel like someone told me thatalong the way and I just tuned
it out.

SPEAKER_06 (11:47):
Speaking of coffee, I had too much coffee today.

SPEAKER_04 (11:49):
What?

SPEAKER_05 (11:50):
Way too much.

SPEAKER_06 (11:52):
So y'all got me into those Celsius drinks.

Instant.

SPEAKER_09 (12:04):
Have you gone a day like where you woke up and had
like one or two cups in themorning and you didn't have any
more the rest of the day?
Coffee?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, but can you tell thedifference?

SPEAKER_05 (12:14):
Here's the thing.

SPEAKER_09 (12:14):
You probably sleep better.

SPEAKER_05 (12:15):
I do.
Here's the thing.
When the tour starts, okay.
When we're when we're not ontour, I probably only have a
couple cups a day.
Or it doesn't really affect meas as as much.
But when we're on tour, thecoffee on the bus is probably
some of the strongest coffeeever made.
So it is thick.

(12:36):
So when I when the tour is done,all the coffee feels weak
because it's not made.
Like it's it's really strong.
So I I should probably drinkless coffee, but uh, but I like
it too much.

SPEAKER_07 (12:49):
It's I don't it's it's good for you.

SPEAKER_05 (12:51):
Coffee?

SPEAKER_07 (12:52):
Yeah, yeah, it's good for you.
I drink it all day.
I do too.
I like it.

SPEAKER_06 (12:55):
I love coffee.
There's a worse thing.

SPEAKER_09 (12:57):
We've had worse.
Yeah, and when we're writing,yeah, just gonna drink here in
the studio.

SPEAKER_05 (13:03):
You can drink coffee.
That's what you do.
When we were producing a lot,like years ago, we were just in
the studio.
We come off the road, go to thestudio days at a time.
It was nothing to just uh gothrough four or five pots of
coffee.
Just I mean, that's what you do.
But you're right, even writing,like we're writing, it's like

(13:23):
it's fun, tastes good, good foryou.

SPEAKER_09 (13:26):
Yeah, me and my wife are coffee snobs, man.
Hey, well and this stuff isreally good.
I will say it again.
Hey, seriously, we had it andit's really, really good.

SPEAKER_05 (13:34):
Tell us what Lana thinks of it.
She loves it.
She loves it.
Yeah.
That's great.

SPEAKER_06 (13:37):
Well, Kalo, you got your bean, your whole bean?
Yeah, I can't wait to try it.
So I do waste a lot of coffee.
Like it I use Curie most of thetime just because it's easier.
You have the cups, though,right?
I get the cups and they'regreat.
But but I I I drink probably,well, I make probably 12 pods a
day.

SPEAKER_08 (13:57):
But I bet I 12 pots?

SPEAKER_06 (13:59):
Or pods?
Oh my god.
Yeah.
But what happens is I get it andI take the first few sips, then
I forget about it, let it getcold, and I pour it out and get
another one.
So I waste a little bit.
Are you rich?
Did you grow up rich?
No, no, no.
She's very rich.
I did not grow up rich.

SPEAKER_08 (14:13):
Neil, did you grow up rich?

SPEAKER_07 (14:14):
Yeah, that's Neil grew up rich.
Anybody grew up with two parentsin the same place is rich.
Middle class?
So you probably grown?
That wouldn't be true.
It's just fun to say.

SPEAKER_08 (14:24):
Were you well?

SPEAKER_09 (14:25):
My dad parents my dad sang gospel music and he did
really well.
They were big when they weredoing it when I was young, and
we had a very comfortable lifein a middle-class neighborhood.
Rich.
Middle class home.

Well, Neil, I wondered if youwere wanting to talk about like
uh Tay Tay's new record.
Well, Taylor Swift.
Have you checked it out yet?
Life of Showgirl?

SPEAKER_09 (15:25):
No, I have not.
I've just seen a lot of reviewson it.
What's the reviews like?

SPEAKER_08 (15:29):
I haven't even seen Taylor.

SPEAKER_06 (15:30):
It's pretty bad.
I don't know about the reviews,but um, but there's some
favorites that you know becauseI was kind of looking at and I
listened to a couple of thembecause my wife had listed.
I mean, they're really good.
It's stuff that I couldn't, youknow, I I couldn't write.
There's I mean, she's she'ssmart.

SPEAKER_08 (15:46):
I mean, yeah, is it she's lots of more of the same,
just catchy pop songs.

SPEAKER_06 (15:50):
I can't say that because I don't listen to I I
haven't listened in a good whileto all her uh records and stuff,
but uh even the title, like someof the titles, um you know, like
The Fate of Ophelia, which isthat's track one.
You know, so I had to look upand I said, okay, Ophelia.
And then I think it's a Caesar.
Like, have y'all listened tothat?

(16:10):
That song?

SPEAKER_08 (16:11):
No, I actually haven't heard any of it.

SPEAKER_06 (16:13):
Um there's and like so that gets a lot, that gets a
lot of likes.
Father figure gets a lot oflikes, and I think this is
wrong.
It says oldest daughter, I thinkit's eldest daughter.
Uh listed out, that's prettygood.
And there's one called Wood,which I think is for um because
everybody would know what that'dbe about.
Um but but anyway, so I haven'tfully listened.

(16:34):
I was just kind of curious, youknow, if you guys had.

SPEAKER_08 (16:36):
I hadn't um, as you guys may have remembered, I
don't listen to a lot of music.
But yeah, I don't know.
I don't either.

SPEAKER_09 (16:43):
I've just seen I've seen some folks have commented
on it and how and it was allpretty much, you know, they were
they were uh highlighting thenegative.

SPEAKER_08 (16:54):
Yeah, I mean I'll say this about Taylor.
She gets she gets a lot offlack, but I mean there are
worse role models to have thanTaylor Swift if you're a young
girl.

SPEAKER_09 (17:03):
I don't think so.

SPEAKER_08 (17:04):
You don't think so?
No, you don't think there's anyworse role models?

SPEAKER_09 (17:07):
I think she's one of the worst.
Really?
Absolutely give it to me.
Why?
I'm just I just think she is.
She she glorifies sin.
She mocks God.
She In which ways?
I'd have to listen to therecord.
That's just what I've beenreading.
From credible sources.
From credible sources about thisrecord.

(17:27):
Well, now if I would like to.
And and it that's just what andthese are credible people that
I'm reading from, and I won'tname their names, but it's I
believe it.
And I've seen her videos in thepast.
I don't have to, I don't have tolisten to what these critics are
saying about her record.
I've seen what she's put outbefore, and I would not let I
would not let my daughter.

(17:49):
In fact, I encouraged mydaughters back back in the day.
I was like, hmm, you're sayingso one of the worst somebody
else.

SPEAKER_08 (17:56):
Rather haven't listened to Cardi B than Taylor
Swift.
No.

SPEAKER_09 (18:01):
No, not at all.
Okay.
No, they have so much influenceover the young generation and so
many young girls in our in thisworld today.
Millions and millions.
And and the stuff that they putout there that that is just
filth, in my opinion.
And I think it's I think it's Ithink it's a horrible example.

SPEAKER_08 (18:19):
Is there a pop singer that you would be okay
with your daughters listening tothat you can think of?
I'm sure there are.

SPEAKER_09 (18:28):
Yeah.
I'm sure there's some.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Now that they're married becauseyou know what?
It's so unnecessary.
You why do you have to sexualizeeverything?
Why do you have to why do youhave to go there to make good
music?
You don't have to do that.
It's a it's clearly intentional.

SPEAKER_05 (18:45):
Well you can go, but you but to that point though, I
mean don't want to argue, butyou know, you can look back and
all genres of music and and seehow that worked.
You can look back in videos whenMTV came out, and you can
Madonna.
But just it's not just female,like I mean, shit.

(19:05):
Remember watching the whitesnake videos over and over
again.
I mean, sure.
You know, I think it's it's tosome extent, it's always been
that way.
Well, you know.
I I'll say this about TaylorSwift.
You can't argue with it, whetheryou like it or not.
Night after night in stadiums.
Night after night in stadiums.

(19:26):
It's the same thing when peoplesay don't like Morgan Wallen.
You can say that all you want.
You don't do two nights, threenights in stadiums.
Yeah, but is that is that a goodthing?

SPEAKER_08 (19:34):
To be fair, I haven't listened to Yeah, I
guess I don't know that deep ofthe state.
You've seen her videos.

SPEAKER_09 (19:39):
I didn't know that she was doing I have no idea.
You've seen her videos though inthe past.
Actually, it's uh there's dragqueens, there's everything.
She's she's done it all.
She's covered it all as far asthe is as far as all that goes.
And I'm just like, whatever.
I will say it off.
I will say this.

SPEAKER_08 (19:57):
I see what you did.
Shake it off, turn it off.

SPEAKER_06 (19:59):
I will say this, like since it's out and it and
it's huge and everything, likeuh, and again, I haven't I
haven't listened to a couplepieces, but I do respect the
artist part of it because she ishuge and she pushes, she does
push the limits, and she's crazysmart, especially with marketing
and everything.
But I was thinking about on theway over here actually, like

(20:20):
what you know, what are we gonnatalk about and stuff.
Like in pushing, like for me,like as a as a writer, I have
rarely ever in my entire careerpushed the limits.
Like you generally don't.
That's not what makes you money.
But an artist like that, whenyou get to a certain level and
you want to and you want to keepgrowing, I mean, they almost you

(20:41):
almost have to.
Like, like if and again, I don'tknow what I'm not saying you
know, change your things thatyou believe in to write content
that goes against what youbelieve, but she's not doing
that.
It seems like she's always trueto herself and right in what
she's thinking or feeling.
But um but I respect uh artiststhat push things like that, and

(21:02):
the same same with Al Dean on uhnot to bring up the name of our
podcast called Try That in aSmall Town Podcast.
Um but you can't.
But but that but that's butthat's pushing it.
That that was pushing it.
But you can't do that everytime.

SPEAKER_09 (21:15):
But you can't you can't compare what our I'm not
comparing content.
Yeah, I didn't yeah, but contentcontent's everything.

SPEAKER_05 (21:22):
I'm just talking about especially who who she's
selling to and who her audienceis.
But Kurt brought up a greatpoint though.
You look uh I mean, I was a hugeMadonna fan when when that first
album came out in Like a Virgin.

SPEAKER_06 (21:34):
I mean, that was touch for the very first time.

SPEAKER_05 (21:37):
I mean, that was pushing I'm seriously, all kinds
of boundaries, right?
Yeah, yeah.
But I mean, look what I meanthat's what kind of what Taylor
is doing, like to that level.
Madonna was huge, still huge,really an icon.

SPEAKER_09 (21:50):
Let me ask you all this.
Do you think you think it's ashe's a positive force for the
uh young female generation?

SPEAKER_05 (21:57):
So I must be you think she's a positive or a
negative force.
If you don't like it, don'tlisten to it.
Exactly.
I mean it's it's you you it'sconnecting, it's out there and
there's nothing you can do.
I don't I don't I I I guess Ineed to do more of a deep dive
to to see that side of it.
I mean, I I to be fair, Ihaven't I remember the stuff she
came out with a few years ago,like the shake it off era.

SPEAKER_08 (22:17):
That's what I think of when I think it's pretty I
don't know any of it.
But yeah, hooky and catchy,yeah, you know.

SPEAKER_09 (22:22):
Well she got big from the from the boy bashing.
I mean, that's what she did.
Right, that's what she did.
That was her thing.
She's she's now taken it a stepfurther, and it's just I don't
see anything positive, anythinggood with with her music at all.
Scratch Taylor off the Taylorwon't be coming on the yeah, I
don't know.

SPEAKER_06 (22:40):
I mean, because just looking at the titles, I don't
see anything like that, butmaybe there is.
I haven't listened to all thecontent.
But I but I am gonna listen toit just for the because I just I
just I do want to hear it all.
I want to hear it all.

SPEAKER_08 (22:52):
I assume she wrote everything.

SPEAKER_05 (22:54):
You know, I would assume so.
I don't know.
Yeah, yeah.
I would assume so.
She might make a little bit ofmoney.

SPEAKER_06 (23:00):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (23:00):
You know, can't even think of that kind of money.

SPEAKER_09 (23:02):
That's my whole thing.
It's like, why do you have to gothere?
She doesn't have to go there tobe huge and to get even bigger
than she already is.
She doesn't have to push theenvelope like that at all.
Why is she doing that?

SPEAKER_06 (23:15):
I think I know the video you're talking about.
I'm not sure what song it is,but I think you asked you you
told me to know I mean I meanthe video that that has the uh
the drag queens in it and stuff.
There's a lot of pink in it andtrailers.
I remember that.
Yeah.
Um but I think being on theliberal side, I think liberals

(23:36):
generally just want to make surethat everybody knows if they
include everybody.
You know, I think that's that'stheir whole point.
Conservatives, we don't excludeanybody.
We just say, hey, I believe Ibelieve this.
I exclude people.
Absolutely exclude people.
I'm just saying, damn that.
I'm just saying, we just say,hey, we don't this is not the

(23:58):
lifestyle we choose.
We don't condone it or orendorse it, but liberals
generally endorse everything.
And that's probably as anartist.

SPEAKER_09 (24:07):
They don't endorse us.
Not at all.
They wouldn't endorse me at all.
That's a good point.
Yeah, then they don't have to dothat.
That's good point.
The one that wants to be allinclusive is the least
inclusive, and that'd be theleft.

SPEAKER_08 (24:19):
Well, I actually agree with that.

SPEAKER_09 (24:20):
That's a that's a good point.
But I think but I will say theyclaim it, but they they don't
practice it.

SPEAKER_05 (24:25):
But I don't lump everybody.
Like if you didn't vote forDonald Trump, I don't I don't
call you a liberal.
Like if you didn't vote forDonald Trump, I don't feel like
that.
I feel like there's a lot ofpeople out there who I think
there's the far left liberal,the Tim Waltz's, who drive me
freaking insane because itdrives me nuts.
But I don't think everyone'sthat far.

(24:46):
I think most people I stillbelieve most people just want to
live and they may have differentbeliefs in each other and us and
that's fine.
Yeah, there's a different thing.
I don't think I I know that farleft side is I know I it's
there, but I don't thinkeverybody's that far left.

(25:06):

SPEAKER_08 (25:07):
Yeah, it's I agree with you.
I was just thinking today.
Uh what what day is it?
It's Tuesday, and we just sawthe hostages released, right?
Did you guys see any of thosevideos?

SPEAKER_06 (25:17):
How do you watch that and not cry?

SPEAKER_08 (25:19):
I mean it's it's overwhelmingly emotional and
non-political.
It's how do you not cry watchingthat stuff?
Uh it is disappointing thatpeople on the other side will
not it's not even that theywon't give Trump credit for
that.

(25:39):
It's that they don't evenacknowledge this.

SPEAKER_09 (25:41):
You heard Hillary Clinton.
She she totally acknowledged it.
And there are a lot, actually.

SPEAKER_06 (25:46):
I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_09 (25:47):
Hillary Clinton of all people acknowledging
commended the Trump Trumpadministration and President.

SPEAKER_06 (25:54):
She did.
And totally did.
Uh yeah, and they're notshowering, you know, love, but
they're saying that.

SPEAKER_08 (26:00):
Well, that makes me happy because I had seen a lot
of people that didn't, like Isaw Clay Travis tweeted, uh
Barack Obama had time tocongratulate the WNBA champs,
but he didn't congratulate uhTrump for what a wuss.
But that's good to hear that shedid.
Because it is non-political.

SPEAKER_09 (26:21):
And it didn't look you know what it she didn't even
look like it was hard for her tosay.
It shouldn't be.
It came right out, like natural.

SPEAKER_05 (26:28):
That's amazing.
It was it was, it really was.
But think about this though thethe the people that you're
talking about, like and some ofthe politicians on the left,
when the when the little boythat came out to our shows,
brain cancer, uh DJ uh yeah,when he's when he you know got
the standing ovation at theState of the Union, yeah, they
sat.
And that was like very dark.

(26:49):
Like, how do you pathetic a kidwith brain cancer but what more
do you need to see?
That nothing that that sectionthat part of it is really
upsetting and truly dark.

SPEAKER_08 (27:01):
Yeah, you wish people just had their political
beliefs, you could believe that,but then that's true together on
the side of the state.
That's truly dark.

SPEAKER_05 (27:07):
But I think the people generally people like I
know people who who didn't votefor Trump for different reasons
and and and they're greatpeople.
They just don't didn't likeTrump, which is fine.
Yeah.
That's their that's their right.
Trump can be hard to like.
Let's just be honest.
Absolutely.
So it's hard to love.

(27:27):
It's good.
You know, but I I love hispolicies and I I can kind of see
through what he says, you know,and it's you know, but it's so
funny to it.

SPEAKER_09 (27:39):
Starts bowling over the more he achieves and the
more he accomplishes that'sgood, the matter they get.
Yeah, and it is hilarious towatch.

SPEAKER_05 (27:48):
In my opinion, a fantastic job.

SPEAKER_08 (27:50):
Yeah, I think we all agree that, but he's done a
fantastic job.

SPEAKER_05 (27:55):
I think overall, I think it'll be hard for people
not to look back on this term ofhis presidency and and not say,
my wow.
I agree.
Because he actually you know,when he first came in, he he did
something different.
He did what he said he was gonnado.
And people are not used to that.
They're used to politicianssaying they're gonna do
something, and then they getelected on that, but nothing

(28:16):
ever happened.
What is the ma the MAGA agenda?

SPEAKER_09 (28:20):
What would y'all say the MAGA agenda is?
In a nutshell.
I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 (28:26):
Well, it depends on like I don't think them I don't
think if you are MAGA that younecessarily have an agenda.
I just think there's some on theleft that think that agenda is
one racist.

SPEAKER_09 (28:40):
I'm like that guy that's what they the Billy Joe
Armstrong and Green Day.
Yeah, the Green Day.
Yeah.
Oh, what did he say about it?
He's like he's like uh Americanidiot.
Yeah, he said, I'm not a fan ofdomestic terrorism.
F the MAGA agenda, is what hesaid.

SPEAKER_05 (28:57):
I think a lot of these people know what they're
talking about.
They don't know.
They just I don't think guyslike him what's he for then?
They don't really don't know.
That's a great question.
They really I swear to god, theydon't know.
They they don't, they're justfor whatever reason, they're out
to hate Trump, and I don't thinkthey really know, to be honest

(29:20):
with you.

SPEAKER_01 (29:20):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (29:21):
You know, uh that's a good question.

SPEAKER_09 (29:23):
I'm just I'm like, then what are you for?
If you're not for anythingthat's already happened and that
he's uh that Donald Trump'salready accomplished, then what?
And that it blows my mind.
I can't I'm trying to think ofanything that they could
possibly be in favor of.
This is the opposite of whathe's accomplished.

SPEAKER_05 (29:42):
Again, I don't think they know.
I don't think they just it'shate truck, hate truck blindly.
Absolutely.
And then and that that'sfrustrating because like
everybody's getting so worked upabout him cleaning up the
cities.
Don't you want to be safe?
Do you not don't you want to beable to walk down the street in
Chicago or New York?

SPEAKER_09 (30:02):
I was in DC well um when Charlie Kirk was
assassinated.
I was it happened to be in DC.
And that downtown area that usedto be overrun, you couldn't go
out at night.

SPEAKER_08 (30:14):
It's a scary place to be.

SPEAKER_09 (30:15):
And it's not it's not anymore.
Yeah.
We're walking around at night,and people and people are
telling telling us, me and mywife, that this is how it's
supposed to be right here, andand every one of them were
thanking Trump for it.
He cleaned That place up and nowhe's trying to go to Chicago,
he's trying to go to Memphis,he's trying to go to Portland,
he's trying to clean and it andif people would go to DC now and

(30:38):
walk the streets at night, theywould see it first.
How awesome it is.

SPEAKER_05 (30:43):
That's such a positive thing.
Like the immigration and and allthat and what he's done, even
you know, tariffs has been abeen a bit of a battle up and
down, you know, but he's stillpositive things happening.
You know, this whole thing withcleaning up the cities to me is
an amazing thing.
Like like just you're supposedto be able to feel safe.

(31:03):
What and who my thing is likewho doesn't want who's anti
walking around without gettingkilled?
I don't understand.
Like where are those people?
That's that's what I've in anutshell.
That's what I don't understand.
Those section of people, andthey'll they'll they'll say they
hate it and we don't need youhere, and they don't know what
they're talking about.
They don't know what they'rearguing for.

(31:23):
Don't you want to be safe?
What's the problem with beingsafe?

SPEAKER_09 (31:27):
I think I think their hatred of Trump is so
great that they could get muggedon a street like in DC, they
could get mugged and they stillmake an example.
They would blame Trump.
They blame Trump for the game.
They blame Trump for gettingmugged.
No doubt.
Exactly.
No doubt.

SPEAKER_05 (31:44):
That's that's how that's how deep the hatred is
for that guy.
I it is crazy, and and I and Iknow people that no matter what
just can't like Trump.
They just won't, no matter what.
And no matter and and everythinghe uh does that's positive,
they'll find some negative init.
It's crazy to me.

(32:06):
Like, okay, my thing is look,here's the president.
You you get to elect or or voteagain in three years.
If you don't like it, change it.
But here's here's here's what wegot.
We suffer through four years ofJoe Biden, which we can all
agree on both sides.

(32:26):
Shit show.
So we can we can definitelyweather this, and if you don't
like it, then then you vote.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a that's a great thing.
Yeah.
What I what cracks me up thoughis like the threat to democracy.
I hate that term.
They always that's what theythey said about Joe, it's a
threat to democracy.

(32:46):
When the left literally bypasseddemocracy to get Kamala Harris
on the ticket.
Yes, Kamala.
That's right.
And they'll look at you and isit Kamala or no?

SPEAKER_09 (32:58):
It's Kamala.
It's Kamala.
Kamala.
Taylor Swift loves her, by theway.
Sorry.
They are buddies.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
That was my favorite.
Oh, sorry.

SPEAKER_06 (33:07):
No, go ahead.
Yeah, well, yours is better thanmine.
No, I don't know if it's better.
Taylor Swift thought she was agood choice.
I don't know if it's better, butI said better, not bigger.
I believe, I think in Novemberthat Kamala Harris is speaking
at the Ryman, and it just struckme wrong.

SPEAKER_08 (33:21):
Really?
It shouldn't.
Believe that to happen.
She's coming to Nashville andhas a speaking engagement at the
Ryman.
We should be more like at amuseum or something.

SPEAKER_06 (33:31):

SPEAKER_08 (33:32):
Something more it actually should be at a bar.

SPEAKER_06 (33:34):
Like the Smithsonian.
Smithsonian.

SPEAKER_05 (33:37):
The Smithsonian.
Yeah.
It doesn't surprise me at allbecause they'd love to make
Nashville exactly that.

SPEAKER_08 (33:43):
Actually, maybe the Ryman is appropriate because
she'll be like all those oldcountry guys that just go over
to Tootsie's first, gethammered, and then go speak.
She's in the back room.
She's in the back room.
Let's take a break.

SPEAKER_09 (36:00):
But I never, you know, I got I was gonna do that
song for Al Dean.

SPEAKER_06 (36:05):
Since Oh, because the uh Georgia tennis uh Georgia
Alabama game a few weeks ago.

SPEAKER_09 (36:11):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 (36:12):
Just is what it is.
Yeah.
What about that Kirby Smartthing?
Like like he was uh he wasclapping.
No, yeah.
I mean, that was so crazy.

SPEAKER_09 (36:24):
That was amazing.
Everybody claps like this.

SPEAKER_06 (36:27):
I was like, dude, you're so successful.
You're on TV.

SPEAKER_09 (36:30):
He got his he got himself in a little little
situation.

SPEAKER_06 (36:33):
Did he admit it later or no?
But you can't because you can't.
He was clapping.
You just know what you're gonnasay today.
He was saying the other team wasclapping and throwing off the
you know the count, right?

SPEAKER_09 (36:43):
They got him in slow motion going.
I know running at the ref.

SPEAKER_06 (36:47):
Like this, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 (36:48):
Clapping, was he clapping for the ref?
Good job!

SPEAKER_06 (36:52):
No, I think he I think the story was as he was
saying that they were drawing uhdrawing him off because they
were clapping, like the defensewas clapping, trying to throw
off.
Right.
I heard you know, so yeah, yeah.
That's well.
Yeah, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_09 (37:07):
Anyway, no, we uh we do know about all that.
Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 (37:11):
But but that was like I was embarrassed for him.

SPEAKER_09 (37:14):
Yeah, I'm not even I'm not even Georgia fan.
It wasn't a good Obi sticks tohis guns.
It wasn't a good look, but he'llstick to his guns.
Yeah, he'll be fine.
Speaking of guns, let me ask youguys a question.

SPEAKER_08 (37:26):
Oh boy.

SPEAKER_09 (37:27):
Why why didn't the left call for a gun ban when
President Trump was shot?

SPEAKER_08 (37:35):
Well, we know why.

SPEAKER_05 (37:39):
Well, I think they said stuff like that though.
Like, didn't they say like itwould have happened if there was
a gun ban?
Stuff like that.
I didn't hear that.
Yeah.
I mean, I think I'm sure I Ithink I've heard something like
that.
They've always got it answeredon the other.
Or like, like, well, heshouldn't have been speaking out
there.
It's not safe, you know.
Never, never it's some of that'spretty alarming.

SPEAKER_09 (37:59):
It never happened.
They didn't call for a gun banwhen he was shot.
And like, man, they just keep onexposing themselves for what
they really are.
Nonstop.
And that's so entertaining forme, and I love it.
It just gives us more shit totalk about.
It does.

SPEAKER_06 (38:16):
Uh yeah.
I will say on on that, this is along time ago, like after that
happened, uh, you did say thatuh that God saved him for a
reason.
And so, obviously severalreasons, but you can be thinking
that for the hostages we're justtalking about for the break
getting released, um he's done alot of good since he's there's

(38:40):
no doubt.
They know it.
They know it.

SPEAKER_09 (38:42):
We could talk about this all day, all night.
It's like they they know, and itjust I think whether I I think a
lot of people whether they votedfor him or not will say that
he's doing a good job.

SPEAKER_05 (38:53):
I think like all the independents, all the people
that came over and voted for himthat were on the fence, you
gotta feel pretty good about it.
You gotta feel pretty good aboutthe economy, you gotta feel
pretty good about the markets,you gotta feel pretty even with
the markets are prettyresilient, even with all the
tariff worry and uh the youknow, the markets get shaky
every time he says somethingabout the the tariffs, a little

(39:15):
dive and come back.
Pretty resilient.
Like I think overall, everyonewho voted for him thinks he's
doing a good job.

SPEAKER_08 (39:24):
And let me ask this uh let's go, whatever, eight,
nine years ago, I guess it was,when he first announced and came
down the elevator.
Were you thinking, what theheck?
This guy's gonna run forpresident?

SPEAKER_06 (39:43):
Like, I mean it made me smile.

SPEAKER_08 (39:45):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 (39:46):
In the moment, that's all it is.
Like, okay.

SPEAKER_08 (39:49):
I know we all did.
Yeah, I mean, I think if you'rebeing honest, you probably
thought that.

SPEAKER_05 (39:53):
And you know, honestly, you know what's funny?

SPEAKER_08 (39:56):
Is that because all we knew of him was the
apprentice and all that.
We didn't know anything abouthis policies.

SPEAKER_05 (40:01):
What's funny is then I I hate I feel bad for saying
this, but I I was just trying toI wasn't as tuned into politics.
Yeah.
I the it was just ex it was likeuh, you know, run of the mill,
elections politicians, you know.
I didn't wasn't that aware.
I remember I rememberspecifically on the bus, like

(40:23):
you guys watching that debate.

SPEAKER_08 (40:25):
And I was one of the very first ones.
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (40:27):
One of the very first ones.
And I still wasn't that engaged.
Yeah.
I was like, because I didn'ttake politics as seriously.
Because it was just to me, it'slike, look, you know, here's a
president.
I it's like nothing seemed toreally change no matter what,
you know, even no matter howmuch.

(40:48):
There was nothing, you know whatI mean?
But from then to now, you know,with the You can always tell
somebody that does tell whenthings are out of whack.

SPEAKER_08 (40:55):
You can always tell somebody that's well that's what
he ran on.
He was just like, we're drainingthe swamp.
I'm gonna do I'm an outsider,I'm not gonna be a politician.

SPEAKER_09 (41:02):
And at first everybody's like, this is a
stunt.
Yeah, yeah, whatever.
He's you know, he definitely notpart of the fraternity.
Right.
Yeah.
And by God, he wasn't a part ofthe fraternity.
He absolutely wasn't.
And you remember how many,remember how many Republicans he
had pissed off that he wasrunning?
All of them.
They hated him, all of them.
They all hated him at first.

(41:22):
And then and then he graduallywon everybody over as time went
on.
They're like, oh no, this guy,this guy's for real.

SPEAKER_06 (41:30):
Yeah, like half of them are in his cabinet right
now.
Yeah, I know it.
I know it.
Little Mark sitting right besidehim, you know.

SPEAKER_05 (41:36):
It's crazy though, like like from when he announced
that running, and I I don't knowhow much how serious I took
anything in politics of that.

SPEAKER_09 (41:44):
Look at your hair.
Well, and you were younger.
You spent all your time on yourhair.

SPEAKER_05 (41:48):
Seriously, though, like then it was like nothing,
even though maybe things are outof whack, it didn't, it wasn't
crazy.
Stuff got crazy post-COVID.
Sure.
Crazy.
It went from the woke stuff tothe you know, Antifa to the
border.
It like the wheels ran off it.
So now you for people likemyself who I was never that

(42:12):
political, it it doesn't comedown to politics, it just comes
down to God, what's happening?
Yeah, common sense, right.

SPEAKER_08 (42:20):
We kind of said common sense.

SPEAKER_05 (42:21):
Yeah.
Like that's I feel like youeither you have it or you don't.
And if you don't, I guess youcan rationalize hating Trump for
whatever reason, but whowouldn't want a secure border?
Obama did.
So don't say don't start withthat because he was for a tough
border, right?

SPEAKER_08 (42:37):
That's what they say, you know, like uh this
version of Trump is what youknow a lot what a lot of
liberals used to run on 15-20years ago with a border.

SPEAKER_05 (42:47):
Let me ask you guys this question.
Was that the big switch with theit felt like from COVID on the
media went full on left?
Has it always been full on left?
I think so.
As far as I know.
I mean, I I I but has it alwaysbeen that biased, blindly, like

(43:08):
just crazy biased?

SPEAKER_09 (43:10):
No, because No, because they used to just report
the news, all of them.

SPEAKER_08 (43:13):
That's what I was gonna say.
That was a long time.
Uh now it isn't opinion.
It wasn't opinionated, didn'tit?
That's exactly what I was gonnasay, Neil.
It's like now these shows aren'tnews and they're opinion-based
shows.
So Which I'm fine with thoseshows.

SPEAKER_09 (43:28):
That's we're just we just report the news, right?
That's right.
We don't we don't give ouropinions, right?

SPEAKER_08 (43:32):
Exactly.
Especially you, you just arefacts.
No, facts only.
Yes.
But people think it's the newsis the problem.
Right.
So watch CNN or MSNBC and thinkthat's the news when I think a
lot of people know or those areopinion shows.

SPEAKER_05 (43:48):
And the opinion shows, like, is what it is.
Like, fine.
What bugs me is when you'rewatching NBC, a major the the
you know, the nightly news andit's blatantly biased.

SPEAKER_08 (44:00):
So I let me say this.
I know someone personally whowas an anchor on one of our
local news stations who had toget out because of that.
They just couldn't do itanymore.

SPEAKER_05 (44:14):
See, that that to me is what should be illegal.
That's misinformation.
You they always saymisinformation.
That's what that is.
Like, what is what are thefacts?
Deliver the facts.
I mean, and I feel like thewheels just ran off post-COVID
for sure, but the last few yearshave been like, come on.

SPEAKER_06 (44:36):
Yeah, and you I mean you can deliver the facts and
then give your opinion.
You can say, here's here it is,and here's what I think.
You can do that.
But I mean, even if you like forme, I mean I watch Fox News or
around the clock.
I've watched it so much, I dorealize that even the news now
is is entertainment also.
And they are feeding their base,they're feeding their base, so

(44:56):
they're they're either gettingyou you know mad about something
or I'd be the first to say thisabout Fox.

SPEAKER_08 (45:01):
They do it too.
Oh, that's one thing.
Yeah, no doubt.

SPEAKER_06 (45:04):
So, yeah, so I'm you're watching something that
you can't owe you.
Almost can't watch.
Yeah, almost can't watch it.
I don't blindly trust anythingabout it.
I don't like all of them.
Yeah, all of them.

SPEAKER_05 (45:12):
I don't blindly trust if I'm watching Fox.
There's plenty of things aboutFox that drive me nuts.
I don't blindly trust anything.
Generally, it's somewhere in themiddle.
It's just a shame you gotta getthere yourself.
You gotta okay, you gotta figureout what that truth is in your
own mind.
Like, okay, well, that soundscrazy.
Well, that sounds crazy.
Must be somewhere in the middle.
Yeah.
You know, but just but you know,but deliver the facts, like if

(45:35):
something happens, just that'swhat happened.

SPEAKER_09 (45:37):
Fox lost me when they uh when uh Bruce Jenner was
when they got Bruce Jenner onthere, and I'm not gonna call
him Caitlin.
When they when he startedbecoming correspondent, and they
they took that seriously, andthat was a serious thing.

SPEAKER_08 (45:49):
Is he currently?

SPEAKER_09 (45:51):
Whenever it was, I don't know if he still is.
I have a lot of people.
Is he coming back to Bruce, bythe way?
I don't know.
When it was, I would come backto Bruce.
They lost me.
The comeback.
Hey, if Bruce, if Bruce took cuthis hair off and he might be
making a comeback.
I hope he does.
I want to see him throw ajavelin again.
And listen, maybe American growa javelin again.

(46:14):
I meant literally too.
Listen.
I'm serious.
That's when they lost me.
And I'm like, they're they'regiving this guy a platform, and
they're they're serious, they'rehaving serious conversations
with it sitting across from me.

SPEAKER_06 (46:30):
I think it's because he was talking about the state
of California, and and he wasvery he is a very reasonable
Californian.

SPEAKER_03 (46:38):
Yeah, but it's a dressed up like a woman in drag.
Well, you just have to do it.
And it's a serious conversation.

SPEAKER_06 (46:43):
We just have to block that part out.

SPEAKER_03 (46:45):
It's a dude dressed up as a it's a woman, and
they're having a seriouspretending he's an Olympic.
It's pretend time.

SPEAKER_09 (46:52):
I can't pretend anymore.
It pisses me off.
They lost Fox lost me.
I don't even watch anymore.
Just watch our podcast.

SPEAKER_05 (47:00):
Well, I do as podcasts.

SPEAKER_06 (47:04):
No, I definitely still do like Fox.
I'm watching Jesse Waters.
That's that's what I lookforward to.
He's real, he's for real.
I like him because he's he'sfunny.
It's news, but it's funny.
There's one just entertained.

SPEAKER_05 (47:13):
I can't watch Fox in the morning anymore because that
one guy drives me nuts.

SPEAKER_06 (47:58):
Steve Goosey?
Yes.

SPEAKER_08 (48:22):
Anyway.
Because like you said, it's allentertainment.
Yeah, I mean, I used to, I mean,you can't even scroll X anymore.
Like, it's funny because we havea thread, and we've had a couple
people send, hey, oh my god, didyou hear this?
You know, and it's like, nah,that's a that's a bot generated
thing.
Yeah, it's you can't trustanything.
You can't believe anything.

SPEAKER_09 (48:40):
AI's got you got everybody believing any error
anything and everything.

SPEAKER_08 (48:44):
And you know what it is, it's just to agitate people,
it's just to get that's right.

SPEAKER_05 (48:48):
So you know you know that hits the most, though.
Yeah, clicks.
This is what I noticed.
Um mother-in-law saint,Christian woman salt of the
earth.
Trump, one of Trump's biggesthaters.
Right.
We'll never vote for Trump.
Um but she's a victim that oldergeneration of like, you know,

(49:08):
scrolling Facebook and seeingthe It's a lot on Facebook.
And the older generation, theytheir minds don't work like
that.
If they see something, it'strue, that's news.
Yeah, and it's not fair to them.
And it's it's like they don'tthey can't like decipher oh
that's that's fake.
Well, because you see something,you're used to it being a
journalistic article and tryingto do it.

(49:30):
It's really too bad.
It's I can look at something andread it and be like, no, that's
that's fake.
Right.

SPEAKER_08 (49:35):
You know, but like or if you're wondering, you
Google it, you do it, you do avery quick search and you can
find out very quickly.

SPEAKER_06 (49:42):
So sometimes you click on it, even though you
know it's not true.
It's like a that can't be true.
And then you click on it.

SPEAKER_09 (49:49):
You see how good the AI is.
I want to see what how good howgood they did, what good a job
they did to convince people.
It's pretty it's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_08 (49:58):
But it's pretty crazy.
That's the what we live in.
It's just it's so muchmisinformation.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (50:05):
I get yeah, I get my mom calls me all the time, like,
heard you guys are playing theWhite House tomorrow, or heard
you guys are playing in SaudiArabia tomorrow.

SPEAKER_08 (50:14):
Once it came up was the turning point though.
Exactly.

SPEAKER_09 (50:16):
The Kid Rock thing.
Yeah, it had him it had Kid Rockheadlining, and Jason Aldean's
name was like it was smallerthan somebody else's.

SPEAKER_06 (50:24):
It was like after Dude Maori or something.

SPEAKER_05 (50:27):
It wasn't legit at all.
Yeah, so Travis Truett.

SPEAKER_06 (50:30):
Okay, I'm sorry, Travis.
Sorry.

SPEAKER_05 (50:31):
Yeah, but it's uh that is it is I mean, so much of
it, half the stuff is if youlook on Facebook, it's fake.

SPEAKER_08 (50:39):
And they know by the algorithms what people will
click on and what will agitatethem.
Yeah so people like that beingsent stories.
Oh, I can't believe that.

SPEAKER_05 (50:50):
But see, what happens is they'll they'll
create these fake things aboutTrump or something he's doing.
And people take that as uh real.
And and and to me it's it'sreally it's it's quite a
challenging um time.

SPEAKER_09 (51:06):
I think I think uh the uh the the halftime show
with Bad Bunny this year, Ithink it's gonna be probably the
most watched halftime show everin NFL history.
Just because of all the negativepublicity that Bad Bunny's
gotten.
People are just gonna watch itout of curiosity to see how bad
it's gonna be.

SPEAKER_05 (51:26):
I think people are really I really am.
I think people are fed up withhaving to be so I don't want to
use it triggered, but so pushedat every turn to make a
statement.
They just want to watch theSuper Bowl.
They don't want to be thrown inthe middle of should Bad Bunny
be there, should he not bethere?
The NFL, they don't, you know.

(51:47):
Whatever.
If I for one get fatigued withthe constant, like you said,
they're constantly pushingeverybody to the tipping point.
Yeah.
That's what they're doing.
They're they're okay.
Things are too calm or NFLseason's really good this year.
It's great, the games areincredible, you don't know who's
gonna win.
We know who's gonna lose.

(52:08):
I do lately.
But like people just love thegame.
They don't want to have to beconstantly turned upside down by
yeah, by by someone trying tojust can't whatever.

SPEAKER_06 (52:21):
Yeah, and I I don't care that much really who's
doing the halftime show.
Like, I want to watch thecommercials, I want to watch the
game, and if it's somebody Idon't like, then I'm just gonna
be eating or whatever.

SPEAKER_05 (52:34):
I mean, I'm not I'm not gonna get we haven't had a
good halftime show in a while,let's be honest.
No, it's been a long time.
You know, the the days of PrinceTom Petty Michael Jackson, I
mean, you can go down the listof like icons who have done it
and it's what you think BadBunny's gonna do on stage.

SPEAKER_09 (52:55):
You think he's gonna do something risque and
something he should have?

SPEAKER_08 (52:58):
Or you think he's gonna keep it clean?
I I don't know much about him,to be honest.
I'm not gonna be able to do it.

SPEAKER_06 (53:04):
But he's go go look him up.
The stuff that I'm pretty prettylike Taylor Swift.
The majority of his songs seemto be, even though I don't
understand uh them because it'sa different language, but but
it's it's it's love, lost love,hey, you got we both love the
same girl, you know.
I mean, I don't see I mean I Idon't know anything that's

(53:24):
terrible about it.

SPEAKER_09 (53:25):
But there's nothing in English, right?
You gotta you gotta dig a littlebit.

SPEAKER_06 (53:30):
I mean you may be watching the video, but I but I
listened to and looked at thelyrics of you know, the
explanation of a few of them.

SPEAKER_05 (53:36):
I think it's probably because he said he was
never gonna play in the USagain.
He came out and said that, likehe wasn't gonna.
I can't remember if that was aan ice-related thing or
whatever.
It was.

SPEAKER_08 (53:47):
He was saying he didn't want to to subject his
fans to possible ice.

SPEAKER_02 (53:52):
Right.

SPEAKER_08 (53:53):
Well, because that's that's what they're doing.

SPEAKER_05 (53:56):
Hey, look, I got ten in my neighborhood.

SPEAKER_06 (53:59):
Don't come out in the streets during this time.
I tell you this, for no knownreason.

SPEAKER_09 (54:02):
That's a dude.
That's him right there.

SPEAKER_06 (54:05):
That's him?

SPEAKER_09 (54:05):
That's him.

SPEAKER_08 (54:06):
Hold on.

SPEAKER_06 (54:07):
That's Jason Whitlock.
Oh my god, breaking news.
I didn't know.
He's been on the drill.

SPEAKER_09 (54:23):
Yeah, no, and I'm not endorsing whacked in the
world.

SPEAKER_06 (54:25):
I'm just saying musically, I feel like because
he is, I think he's the numberone streaming artist in the
world.
I think a lot of people areprobably gonna watch it and they
want to see it.

SPEAKER_05 (54:33):
I have no idea what it's gonna look like, but well,
I don't uh there will be,believe me, there'll be a lot of
people.
We can't exist in fighting abattle at every turn.
Let's have a guy on that hatesAmerica.
Let's do it.
You just you can't we can'texist this way, like constantly
having to go to battle everytime something at some point you

(54:53):
just want to live.
It's just now we could be it'sgood for us if we talk about it.
But it is it is you're right,it's a Super Bowl.
Just be like, whatever.
Just yeah.
I mean play the game, let youknow, have friends over.
Should be fun.
I think people are are sick andtired of constantly having to to
take a side.
It's like if they I don't likethe decision.

(55:15):
If they don't know nothing, ifthey're doing stupid shit, to be
fair.

SPEAKER_09 (55:18):
It wouldn't be an issue.
But they keep they they're theones that keep doing it.
Well, to be fair, the right theright does not inject people in
there that's controversial.
Only the left does that.
Only the left is controversial.
Only the left.
The right is nevercontroversial, ever.
Well, I don't think you can Idon't think you can say that.
Absolutely.
Name one.

(55:38):
Name one from the right that'scaused a fuss, like this bad
bunny transvestite guy.
Tell me.

SPEAKER_05 (55:44):
Who?
You don't have just because youthink you're right or we think
we're right, doesn't mean it'snot being controversial.
Because someone else doesn'tagree with you.
So right away.
Think Trump is controversial.
So Trump's yeah, exactly.
So with what?

SPEAKER_04 (55:57):
Well, Neil from their perspective.
But their what?
I'm just telling you theirperspective.

SPEAKER_03 (56:05):
Well, well, it would be their perspective is like
immoral as hell.
No, but what are you talkingabout?

SPEAKER_06 (56:10):
It's as simple, as simple as you think they're
crazy, they think you're crazy.
Yes.

SPEAKER_09 (56:15):
Okay, maybe controversial is the wrong word.
Let's talk about morality.
They bring the immoral into theinto the conversation.
We do not.
But they don't think so.

SPEAKER_05 (56:25):
Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_09 (56:26):
God, I don't know how you defend them something.
It's not I don't know how y'alldefend the left.
That's not a defense.

SPEAKER_05 (56:31):
I'm just saying, I'm saying why they think why
they're there's plenty of thingsthey point to that they say.

SPEAKER_09 (56:39):
So you hear something are y'all saying that
it's okay then?
Is that what you're meant to be?

SPEAKER_06 (56:42):
No, wait.
What's okay?
What do you think?

SPEAKER_09 (56:47):
You think that's okay?
I'm not sure.
No, I'm not saying why they'rewhy they think I don't know how
I don't I'm so I'm not gonnadefend it at all.
It's art, music, or nothing.
I'm not defending it.

SPEAKER_05 (56:57):
You're being very, very moral.
Lana Take it down.
Take it down.
Where's Lana?
No, you're being moral, butyou're just you're not
understanding what we're saying.
Yeah, it's actually twodifferent uh points.
Just like just like you'repassionate right here, they're
this way, so they're thinkingthat you're the problem, you
think they're the problem.
So I'm the problem with I'm notsaying you're the problem.

(57:18):
But why'd they think that?

SPEAKER_08 (57:21):
They're saying I'm the problem with what?
What's my problem, though?
The point is that you're saying,what did we ever do that's
controversial?
Yeah, what's my problem?
They think Trump iscontroversial.
Yes.
They think uh not includingeverybody is controversial.
They I'm just saying that'stheir perspective.
That's their perspective.
I'm not saying it's right.
That's their perspective.

(57:41):
We're just saying why they getfired up as well I get that.

SPEAKER_09 (57:43):
That's common sense.
I get that.
Yeah.
My statement was they're theonly ones that bring anything
immoral into the public eye.
They're the only ones.
The right never brings anythingimmoral into the public eye
ever.
Yeah, we hide it.
We never do.
Kalo and I don't think anyhalftime show that that had

(58:06):
Travis Tritt and all these guyscoming up there and just singing
their country music was immoral.
Bad Bunny is immoral.
When you put him on the stageand put him in the limelight for
the whole world to see himwearing a pair of fake T's or
whatever he's gonna do.
Whatever.

SPEAKER_07 (58:24):
I didn't know that.
We got him saying he does.
We should probably know if hedoes, though.

SPEAKER_06 (58:28):
Yeah, I didn't in my limited research.
I just showed you a picture ofhim.

SPEAKER_09 (58:31):
I don't think that was.

SPEAKER_06 (58:32):
In my limited research, I didn't find that.
And I'm not saying he's he's agreat guy.
I have no idea, but look here.
In just learning about it, itwas mainly music, and it was
very common topics.

SPEAKER_09 (58:42):
So that's that's not bad bunny right there with fake.
That's Jason Whitlock.
You see the girl right here?
You see the girl right here,guys?
Are y'all blind?
That's it, that right there.

SPEAKER_08 (58:55):
I don't so I've never seen that.

SPEAKER_09 (58:57):
Isn't it?

SPEAKER_06 (58:57):
I haven't seen that.
Yeah.
Never seen that.

SPEAKER_09 (58:59):
He's in a dress, and there he is right there, too.
It just keeps going picture topicture.
You know, I feel like he wasHe's a freaking drag queen.
I feel like he was put here at aso are you.
Yeah, let's let's put a dragqueen on the halftime show that
hates America over Travis Trittor over Jason Aldean.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 (59:17):
Yeah, I think Jason Aldeen.
I'm there.

SPEAKER_06 (59:19):
I'm I'm weird.
No, no, no, no, we're not sayingyou're weird.
I'm just saying I I haven't Ididn't haven't pulled those up.
So I wasn't expecting, and I'mnot expecting a drag queen to
come out at the Super Bowl.

SPEAKER_09 (59:31):
He can't wait.

SPEAKER_06 (59:32):
So maybe it maybe it'll happen.

SPEAKER_09 (59:34):
I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 (59:34):
He can't wait to stick it to all of us.

SPEAKER_09 (59:36):
He can't wait.
Well, I mean And Roger Goodell'sgonna eat it.
Yeah, but he you know what?
Roger Roger Goodell doesn'tcare.

SPEAKER_05 (59:46):
I I haven't watched the halftime show and decided to
say in a while just because it'snot not really not to our yeah,
yeah, it's not music wegravitate to.

SPEAKER_06 (59:56):
And besides here, is is there a national outrage
about Bad Bunny?
Like is there the halftimeshowing?
A lot of the players don't wantit.

SPEAKER_05 (01:00:09):
I mean, it it's gonna be the it should be about
the game.
And for some reason we justcan't let things be.

SPEAKER_08 (01:00:18):
I I I like that.
And I agree.

SPEAKER_05 (01:00:21):
It should be the the players play a very violent game
for what, eighteen game,eighteen, twin, twenty games
through the playoffs orwhatever.
It should be about the game.
But now it's not going to bebecause it's all this.
And I don't get it.
It's just I would love to getback to just living life the way

(01:00:42):
we we all want to live it.
I'm not saying that one way isthat we know everything and
we're perfect.
We're not.
I'm not, that's for sure.
But like I do miss just a littlebit of like just of the the dust
settling.

SPEAKER_08 (01:00:59):
Well, like you said, not having to take a side on
everything.
Well, who everything's to takesides on.

SPEAKER_05 (01:01:05):
Of course, but some of the stuff's like enough's
enough.
Like it's not.

SPEAKER_09 (01:01:08):
But dust wouldn't be flying if it wasn't for the
left.
That's my point.
It wouldn't be flying if itwasn't for the left.
Well, I agree.
I think that's the one.
They're the ones that start allthis shit and they make us react
like we're reacting.

SPEAKER_05 (01:01:20):
But it always feels like the the people that are
making the decisions, when yousay the left to me, it's like
the decision makers do it.
Like the you know, thepoliticians, uh whether I'm not
sure how this worked out withBad Bunny or who said, I guess
Goodell, I don't know.
But the owners must have agreed.
It's Jay-Z.
Do they have do they have do youthink the owners have any say in
that?

SPEAKER_06 (01:01:39):
Jay-Z is in charge of the I would say.
But I don't I don't think so.
And I would say they're tryingto do the thing that makes the
most amount of money.

SPEAKER_08 (01:01:48):
Well, and listen, we're talking about it.
Everybody's talking about it.
That we're talking about missionaccomplished on their end,
right?
That's it.
That's Bad Bunny War.
Everybody's gonna watch BadBunny.

SPEAKER_04 (01:01:59):
I definitely probably won't watch Bad
original point you're puttingup.

SPEAKER_06 (01:02:02):
Well, I'm gonna watch it.
I can't wait to watch it.
I do want to watch now because Iwant to see.

SPEAKER_08 (01:02:08):
We're proving their point of them.
Absolutely pretty we're suckers,see.
We're sucker, we just gotsuckered.
You let us get suckered?

SPEAKER_06 (01:02:15):
That's why they're billionaires and we have a
podcast that doesn't make anymoney.

SPEAKER_09 (01:02:17):
Yep.
Now we're gonna watch Bad Bunny.
You're right.
But it's it's it just shows youhow much filth sells.
And it does.
And he's filthy.
The dude's filthy.
I don't know anything about him,but I you are right with the
other.
He's a horrible example for thepeople, for the kids, especially
the children that are gonna bewatching the halftime show.
He's a horrible example.

SPEAKER_08 (01:02:38):
Maybe that's why we need turning point to or
somebody to do one alternativeuh halftime show.

SPEAKER_06 (01:02:43):
I wonder how that will how that will go.
You know, like can they can youpull off several million people,
you know, change the channel oron their phone, you know,
whatever, watching that asopposed to the halftime show.
I don't know.
Yeah, and if you did, the onlyway it'd affect anything really
wouldn't affect anything, Idon't think, financially,
because the spots have alreadybeen paid for.
Spots have already been paid.

(01:03:03):
So it's not like they're gonnalose money if they change the
channel.
That's right.

SPEAKER_08 (01:03:07):
If they see that people are tuning out.

SPEAKER_06 (01:03:10):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 (01:03:11):
It's gonna be interesting to see.
It is gonna be interesting.

SPEAKER_05 (01:03:14):
It's gonna be very right about that.
Yeah.
Again, it's just a lot.
We don't have to, I just wish itwasn't I wish we can go back a
little bit where it's like, God,does it have to be so
everything's so polarizing toeach other?

SPEAKER_08 (01:03:29):
I miss Mayberry.
That's what you made me thinkof.
Mayberry, yeah.
The rascal flashback.
Did you write that?

SPEAKER_07 (01:03:37):
No, no.

SPEAKER_08 (01:03:38):
Caleb?

SPEAKER_07 (01:03:38):
That's a good note.
Any of you?
That's great when things werereally good.

SPEAKER_09 (01:03:42):
Yeah.
Who would y'all like to see onthe halftime show?

SPEAKER_08 (01:03:47):
Okay, good question.

SPEAKER_06 (01:03:48):
Morgan Wallen.

SPEAKER_08 (01:03:49):
Well, from a pure number standpoint, it'd be hard
to argue.
It'd be hard to argue.

SPEAKER_06 (01:03:54):
You'd him and some of his friends, you know, have
Hardy coming up.

SPEAKER_05 (01:03:56):
Morgan, Morgan would probably be for the the base of
the football fans.

SPEAKER_08 (01:04:03):
Do you think they asked Taylor to do it?
You do?

SPEAKER_05 (01:04:08):
They did?
I'd be surprised that they theywouldn't have, just because she
is.
There's really none bigger whenyou start thinking about she may
be too big for the Super Bowl.

SPEAKER_06 (01:04:17):
Who knows?

SPEAKER_09 (01:04:18):
Wow.
Yeah, there's not enough younggirls watching the Super Bowl.

SPEAKER_06 (01:04:21):
Money?
Okay, not enough.
Not enough money.

SPEAKER_09 (01:04:26):
Really?

SPEAKER_06 (01:04:26):
Oh, nothing?

SPEAKER_02 (01:04:28):
That's what I read.

SPEAKER_06 (01:04:29):
Oh, it's almost like the cheerleaders.
They get like 50 bucks a game orsomething like that.

SPEAKER_09 (01:04:33):
Yeah, it's just like that.
Who would you besides Morgan?
Who else?
I mean, who else would be onyour list?

SPEAKER_08 (01:04:38):
That's a good question, Neil.
I mean, Jason Aldean, let's go.

SPEAKER_09 (01:04:41):
But you know.
Now that would be watched andthe numbers would be huge.
Huge.
Man, you put us.
Huge.
Huge.
Huge.

SPEAKER_05 (01:04:53):
Um, you know.
Do you have anybody in mind?
It's hard to pull the, you know,I was thinking like the big
icons, you know, that I don'tknow how much they would draw.
Like, you know, if you had likea Billy Joel and you had to be a
good one.
I know.
I was thinking of the Eagles.
You know, but but then that'sthat's that's not gonna pull the
younger them, which is what iswhat they want to do.

SPEAKER_08 (01:05:12):
And that's kind of why they brought in Jay-Z, by
the way.
Right.
Now they made a mistake the lastcouple of years that before
Jay-Z came in, it was like theWho, which honestly, I don't
want to see the Who.
I don't like the Super Bowlhappening.

SPEAKER_05 (01:05:26):
Not good, not good.

SPEAKER_08 (01:05:27):
Uh and I forget who it was before that, but so it
was already starting to decline,and that's kind of why they
brought Jay-Z.

SPEAKER_05 (01:05:34):
And it's harder to find those icons now, too, that
can I mean guy, we're gettingold.
So, like, you know, I mean, Iget them wanting to.
And the bad bunny thing, if thiswasn't so controversial, I get
it because the NFL is tryinghard to make this a worldwide
sport.
They do games all year overseas.
Which I hate, but yes, they are.
So that was like, okay, well,they're just doing that with a

(01:05:56):
halftime show.

SPEAKER_09 (01:05:57):
Yeah, you know, and it's they picked the most
anti-American.
Now it's they're talking aboutdoing a Super Bowl.
I know it.

SPEAKER_08 (01:06:03):
They're talking about doing a Super Bowl in
line.

SPEAKER_09 (01:06:05):
It's like it's like they intentionally went and
found somebody that hatedAmerica that was weird.
They intentionally did it.
And there's so many good big popyoung artists out there that
could have done it.

SPEAKER_05 (01:06:17):
Now there wasn't there was an unfortunate video
of Bad Bunny pop up the othernight of him sitting down at the
Yankee game.

SPEAKER_08 (01:06:24):
Oh, okay.
Remind me it he didn't stand.
He didn't stand.

SPEAKER_05 (01:06:29):
Yeah, and I can't remember if I think it might
have been for the America thebeautiful book.

SPEAKER_08 (01:06:32):
Now we're learning some stuff.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, that is unfortunate.

SPEAKER_05 (01:06:37):
He's making a point that he hates America.

SPEAKER_06 (01:06:40):
That he's already got the contract for the Super
Bowl and he doesn't have toworry about it.

SPEAKER_05 (01:06:43):
I I get it in the sense that what that kind of
sucks that we're forced toswallow this pill.
That it is it sucks.

SPEAKER_08 (01:06:51):
It's like I you know Neil, I'm going back to your
thing.
Like my dad would say, bring mesolutions, not problems.
So who would yeah, who would dothe Super Bowl?
I'm still trying to think.

SPEAKER_05 (01:07:02):
You're talking about the biggest action.
You got Taylor Swift, you gotMorgan.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 (01:07:08):
Jason, Al Dean would have been the premier.
Well, look, I here's a thing.
To do the halftime show.

SPEAKER_08 (01:07:14):
I mean, it is a fastball for America.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (01:07:17):
Yeah, yeah.
If you if you want to dosomething cool, you would do,
you know, Morgan, Luke Combs,Us.
You do like three, three, foursongs.
Maybe you have an Eric Church upthere.

SPEAKER_06 (01:07:30):
That wasn't so hard, was it?
You know, or maybe me and Neilopening a couple of things.

SPEAKER_05 (01:07:36):
The problem's this though.
That's too American.
Oh, yeah.
Too American for the network.
God forbid.
It's like they don't there isthere's a piece to that.
Oh, yeah.
100%.
Yeah, so that's that's does getme very fired up.
Yeah.
I don't know why we why Neil gotyou fired up again.
Neil got me fired up again.

(01:07:56):
I I'm I'm talking about dustsettling and I'm kicking it up.
So what about it is wildlyfrustrating?
Now now.
What were you gonna ask it?

SPEAKER_06 (01:08:05):
Oh no, it was it was just gonna be you're you're
talking about being all firedup.
I was wondering about plungepools.
What do you guys think aboutplunge pools?
I mean, geez.
Does anybody have one?
No, I don't, but I want to getone.
I'm interested.
I'm starting to research.
Have you ever done it?
No.
Uh my brother has, and he toldme that I was gonna waste my
money.

(01:08:25):
He said, I I would imagine that.

SPEAKER_05 (01:08:27):
There's definitely a significant shrinkage.

SPEAKER_06 (01:08:29):
But he said, he first off said, yes, I want you
to get one, and he realized thereason why is because I would
get one, I would get in at onetime, and then I would just give
it to him and he wouldn't haveto buy one.
But uh he said, he said, justjust take a cold shower.
You know, like in no, he said tosee and see if you can even take
that.

SPEAKER_08 (01:08:47):
I've been a disagree with his logic though.

SPEAKER_06 (01:08:49):
Okay.

SPEAKER_08 (01:08:49):
Cold shower is awful.

SPEAKER_06 (01:08:52):
Okay.

SPEAKER_08 (01:08:53):
Awful.
Cold bath is better.
Do the cold bath because forsome the shower with the It's
not it's different.

SPEAKER_09 (01:09:00):
It is different.
I can get in an ice bath beforeI can get under a cold, just a
little cold shower.

SPEAKER_06 (01:09:05):
And put any bubbles in there or anything, or just
straight up bath.
I hadn't had a bath since I waseight.
Like bath.
Like in a men don't take baths.
Really?
Yeah, tub.

SPEAKER_08 (01:09:15):
Yeah.
Men don't take baths.
I don't think so.
No.
Not since you were little, yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
Jim, do you take a bath?
Uh okay.
Never mind.

SPEAKER_06 (01:09:24):
How long has it been since you've washed your back?

SPEAKER_08 (01:09:28):
Since I washed my back.

SPEAKER_06 (01:09:29):
Yeah.
This is silly.

SPEAKER_08 (01:09:31):
I can reach my back.
Never.

SPEAKER_06 (01:09:33):
And and what goes wrong?
Nothing.
Nothing goes wrong.

SPEAKER_08 (01:09:37):
What's the washing back?
What's up with that?

SPEAKER_06 (01:09:40):
I don't know.
People say you gotta wash yourback.
I'm like, I can't get backthere.
Who has a script?
I don't have a script.
He was just a little heavy.
I just wanted to break it out.

SPEAKER_05 (01:09:52):
But get the cold plunge.

SPEAKER_06 (01:09:54):
Because there's apparently a lot of health
benefits, you know, metabolismand all that stuff.

SPEAKER_09 (01:09:58):
Do both.
Well, cold's good for recovery.
KK do both.

SPEAKER_06 (01:10:02):
And it speeds up, you know, because it burns
calories too.
Well, we just do both burnscalories.
I would have to get your bodyback up.
Right.

SPEAKER_09 (01:10:08):
When I went to kicking camp, when I was at
kicking camp, every day I kicked500 balls a day.
And every night I had to get inan ice bath and just sit there,
and the recovery was amazing.
The next day I felt like Ihadn't done anything the day
before.

SPEAKER_05 (01:10:22):
I watched Ian Munsecchic.
I watched Ian Munsick the singerget into a cold plunge and it
petrified him.

SPEAKER_08 (01:10:28):
How and why did you watch Ian Munsick get into a
Watershed subscription?
We were playing Watershed.

SPEAKER_05 (01:10:37):
Oh, live in person you saw him do it.
No, I saw it in person.
So we were we were at we wereplaying Watershed, great
festival.
Um BLC, love you, incredible.
Um at the gorge.
Yeah.
And so this year um he had uh alittle like amazing little gym
set up overlooking the gorge.

(01:10:58):
Yeah, I heard there was a greatlunch.
Treadmills out there workingout, and they had a coal plunge
tub that left.
And I'm on the treadmill, andhere comes Ian Munsick, and he's
sitting there looking at it.
It must be his tour manager, andthere you could I could see him
kind of like thinking about it.
Then he got in it.
Oh, it didn't last long.

SPEAKER_08 (01:11:16):
Well, I'll I'll say this.
I have done it once, I do wantto do it more, and I would like
to get one but with a sauna.

SPEAKER_05 (01:11:23):
Can you just do it in your tub?

SPEAKER_08 (01:11:25):
You can, but you uh it doesn't quite get as cold as
you need it or want, but whenyou first get in the first 30
seconds, miserable.
Absolutely miserable.
And part of it is healthbenefits, part of it's uh mental
you know strength as well.
I have weak mental strength.

SPEAKER_06 (01:11:47):
So would you plunge then then the sauna?
Is that the if you if you're Ihaven't done that, but I think
that is a good thing to do.

SPEAKER_08 (01:11:54):
Sounds like a like a pneumonia.
But if you can get past thefirst 30 seconds, then you you
kind of feel this slightcalmness against the freezing
goal.

SPEAKER_05 (01:12:05):
Yeah, I mean people swear by it, so yeah, you know.

SPEAKER_08 (01:12:07):
I do have friends that do it a lot.
Like a lot that swear by it.

SPEAKER_05 (01:12:13):
Do you have friends?
Are they professional athletesor do we need a call print?

SPEAKER_08 (01:12:16):
They are not professional athletes.

SPEAKER_05 (01:12:17):
They are my son's friends' dads.

SPEAKER_08 (01:12:20):
Okay.
Okay, gotcha.

That'd be amazing.
You're talking about expensive,though.

SPEAKER_06 (01:13:26):
Like very expensive.
Uh maybe I don't have thereciprocal of this.
If you're the one with a singleon the charts, if Tennessee
wins, then maybe we can't affordthat right now.
Maybe you sing Rocky Top on thepodcast.
If Tennessee wins, you can singRocky Top on the podcast.

SPEAKER_09 (01:13:40):
