Speaker 1 (00:02):
And welcome to the Town Outdoor Show.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm Charlie and I'm Jade and I'm Grant.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It's just the trio today. I forgot to invite anybody, just.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Us, Yeah, just Justice. Oh man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I felt like it was we sitting there last night
and Donna was like, I don't even know what day
it is. I said, I don't either, but it feels
like it. Later in the week, I got I got
up on some ladders the other day and one of
the hottest days, that had to be one the hotest
days of the year, and I was just soaked putting
up surveillance cameras. I'm a big brother. Now you heard
that security company. We're gonna watch. We're gonna run the
(00:35):
home that's off your property. That's what that's what we do.
I had to take a psychological test yesterday you leave
in my application for as a reserved deputy back home,
and during the test, it asked, you know how those
questions go. You've taken enough of the m mp I
and all those things. And I had to sit through
that thing and I she walked in and sat it
(00:55):
now and bless her heart, I said, I ain't taking
that and she looked at me and went, well, that's uh.
We just required what do you want to do? And
I said, all right, whatever, how many questions? It's two
hundred and forty I want to No, it's about thirty.
But they asked them that many times the word it's
two hundred and forty, I said, I said, I said, yeah,
(01:16):
there's gonna be some questions and do I like flowers?
And do I look at my poop? And you know
that kind of thing? That's what that's what those joke, Yeah,
I know joke. How many times have you answered that
question in your career over the year? Yeah, and always
the same way they used to make They used to
make us.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
When we were on the White team, they made us
take an annual psychological and part of that, doctor Stumbell
had us take the mnp I or some version of
the m mp I. And after about a decade, I
think she finally quit giving it to us. I mean, anyway,
I don't know how many people that are filtered out,
but I'm going through there. That says and it didn't
say do you like flowers? It says do you like
(01:55):
certain do you sometimes get lost in certain types of music?
Do you fade away into fantasy thoughts and do daydream.
And I do daydream a little bit, but it's about
how we going to make money teaching this class, or
how do we put together an active shooter course, or
how do we you know, I daydream about, you know,
(02:16):
how do we put together a shooting drill? I mean,
that's not the stuff they want to hear. I'm pretty
sure you know. And one of the questions, and this
the reason I mean A mentioned homeless. It says, do
you feel empathy for the homeless? And then that said
and asked that question about five different ways do you
sometimes feel sorry for someone who is panhandling? And I'm like,
(02:36):
I strongly disagree, strongly disagree. No, I don't have any
sympathy for them, because one of the things that I
do through the security company is we get hired to
go out and run homeless people off of their property
because they're panhandling, their harass and their house and people.
We had one at one place was came in another
morning to manage the building and they were peeled on
the side of the building cursing people out. That's you
don't have sympathy for people they are doing. They have
mental health problems. They need to be run off and
get up.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I would say this, you probably do have sympathy for
some people that are and that's but people that choose
to be I say, the people that choose to live
in the woods and not be part of society, it's
their choice, and right, why would you have sympathy? And
if that's what they want to do with their life,
I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And the guy who pretends he's in a wheelchair panhandling,
you know, and runs as long as a wheelchair on
the west side and then he gets just puts his
stuff in a cart and then gets in a wheelchair
and rolls out into traffic. And of course there's new
ordinances they're dealing with. That city's dealing with that right now.
And then they've gone back to issuing trespassed wants and
making arrests on the shopping centers. They just need somebody
(03:39):
watching them in that kind of what what what I
do with that? So no I And I even told
that doctor. I said, listen, I don't mean to sound
like I'm not I don't have empathy for these folks
in that test, but you got to understand why I
don't have empathy for.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Then you ain't got some of them? Is a answer, yes,
some of them.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
So one of the questions was was, no, she can't
disclose this, but I can because it's me. It says,
you know, have you? Do you have any Have you
ever had thoughts of suicide? I'm like, you know, have
you ever thought about hurting yourself? I said, I thought
about it after I did it, but it was purely
by accident. You ram your head into a cabinet. You
know you think about hurting yourself. Yeah, I just did it.
(04:23):
You know you you know, you burn yourself with a
cutting towards by accident. This this all accident. But I'm
pretty maybe I don't know, maybe just something subconsciously in
my brain that wants me to hurt my Maybe I'm
into that. I just don't. I don't know. To make
you start interesting looking at yourself with introspect, No, this
says have you yet? But here's a serious question. Have
you ever thought of harming other people?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
All the time?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
All that? Well? Yeah, I said, I don't do it,
but I think about it. And I said, on top
of that, I teach people how to do it, So
you got to think about it. I said, but she goes,
I know who we're in, we know when you come in,
we know what we're dealing with. And I said, no,
it's not like I go around, you know, constantly trying
to figure out a way to hide a body. I mean,
(05:09):
I know how to do that. I don't need to
think about it. But you know it's so I may.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Or may not shovel and shut up.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I may or may not be joining the agency. I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah, that's just kind of a silly question to ask
people that are going in law Enforcement's like, do you
think about hurting? Do you ever think about hurting people
somebody else? I'm like, yeah, I just went through the
police academy where you know DT, between DT and firearms
is that's that's absolutely what.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You think about.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
And if you don't think about it, then you won't
be prepared to do it when a time, when the
time comsatly, that's the thing you have to you have
to roll out and consider.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
If you if you aren't mentally okay with doing harm
to another person, law enforcement is not the career for you,
right and probably carrying a gun is not the thing
for you, even as a civilian. If you're not mentally
prepared to hurt someone to defend yourself for somebody else.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
You don't need a gun.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
You need the capacity to do extreme violence. You just
don't need the You don't shouldn't have the propensity to
do it. So it's not likely you're going to do it.
You're not itching for the chance. You're not going to
run out and do it at the drop of a hat.
But you need to be able to. And that's you know,
that's a you know, Jay and I have long set
on the show that just under the surface of our
(06:20):
calm demeanor is the ability to do extreme violence.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I just have a you know, I don't do good
and confine spaces and blend food. So therefore I'm not
likely to I'm not likely to hit you in the
mouth because I don't want to go to jail. I mean,
it's pretty simple.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I mean, yeah, I see. Anyway, it's always interesting when
you go back. I have been poked and prodded and
drawn e blood at two places. You're in at two
places within thirty minutes. Try that at fifty six years old.
The you know, we need your and I said no.
I got an appointment right down on the road in
twenty minutes. I got to give your in for a
drug test, and they're like, oh, well, you got to
(06:58):
give it here too. She was only you a little bit.
I said, that's not the way it works. You turn
on to speak it, you're gonna get what you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I just there's starts off and gets you a couple
of beers in between.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I said, I'm sitting herything the long way. She's gonna
get me to cut it off as if she opens
the door right in the middle of and then that.
I hope I still have that ability to shut off. Ma'am.
My No is gonna sound weird, but I got to
save up something for the drug test. Can you open
it when you hear it? Can you just open the
door in hurry and go hey and scare me?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, you're not right in the head.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Well, I hope I'll pass that test.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You show up to the second one and you go,
They go, have you been sure? Have you been drinking beer?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I had to pee you about thirty minutes ago and
I was out for a while.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
That's one of these questions. Do you drink? I'm like, yeah,
I drink, you know, socially around. I don't drink by myself.
I drink, you know, socially with other people Jack, and
I'm like, I don't know how often. It's when I
don't have anything else to do, and she goes, well,
you sound pretty busy. I said, that's the problem. I'm
so busy. I never have a chance to drink.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Do you drink? Not near as much as i'd like to, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I'd probably I would probably be an alcoholic if I
didn't have anything to do. The problem is is everything
I do requires me to be one hundred percent sober,
and therefore I never drink, except on rare occasions when
I love my wife and I go what are we
doing today? And she goes, we don't have any plans.
We gonna hang out by the pool. Yeah, you don't drink,
And then she'll go, oh, no, I'm having to listen
(08:34):
out at work. Okay, give me, give me, give me
a mountain dew. Then I'm stuck. You know, it's so
the desire to do it is there. It's just it's
just I would be alcoholic public, you know what. I
don't want it to be anonymous. I just want to drink.
But I can't. That's what life is when you have responsibilities,
(08:58):
Ain't that true? Yeah, it's kind of like, well, it
was kind of like you know, if all you had
to do was go fish, you'd fish all the time.
When was the last time I went fishing.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's been about two weeks, three weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, but before that, how long was it? About two
months before that? That's what I'm saying. But you want
a fish every day I think about it. Yeah, you'd
be a fish, a haulic if you were allowed to be.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Oh like you wouldn't believe or unless it was hunting
season and then I'd be hunting.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Oh I could be. You'd be a stone old killer.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Let me tell you I would. I would be a
mountain man.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
And if the world would let me, I just go
move off up in the up in the woods.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Somewhere and just I don't know that you could put
off the beard.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, no, i'd have to glue one on.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I'm like two days from looking like one.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, if I could, if I could do a beard
like you have, you know, I just do this So
y'all don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I'm twelve.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Well, be right about hand, we're back. I'm about to
laugh myself out just talking about something seriously. Anyway, So
you said on the break, did the gun smithing business?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Says, yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Uh you know, I got this this watch here that
tells you how much how much walking you do in
a day?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Right right?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I did seventy five hundred steps yesterday in the building.
We'll not counting walking to in front of the truck,
to the house and all that, but it at work
yesterday I did about seventy five hundred steps and most
of that was back and forth between the front counter
and and the Colt Colt shop out back, the gunsmith
shop out back. I think people have figured out we
(10:40):
have a gunsmith here in town.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
And well, I mean we've been telling everybody, so yeah,
people do listen.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
People do listen.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
He's doing such he's doing an amazing job, doing a
fantastic job.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
And uh the uh.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
So we're we're getting a lot of a lot of
stuff in and we were returned a bunch of stuff yesterday,
so we were we was busy with it.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Well, good good, I'm glad to hear Colt's getting busy.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You know, well we don't have he doesn't have much
of a weight, but when you get busy, then you know,
we'll see.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
How had We had a gentleman that came in yesterday morning,
right at open, and he had two guns he wanted
to work on. Now, I'm not saying that this is
gonna happen every time you bring a gun to the gunsmith,
but this guy lived. He said his his trip from
home to here round trip was about one hundred and
twenty miles, so he lived sixty miles away, and he
(11:32):
came over here to get a holster made, to get
us to make him a holster. And he said, I
want to X, Y and Z done to these two
guns or whatever. He dropped them off, told Colt that
I live a long way away deal, and three hours
later he left with his both of his guns repaired
to his to his liking.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
One of them was a trigger trigger job on one
of them and.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
A actual repair on a broken fire and pen. He
needed to referb the firing pin on one of them,
and so he cold understands. You know, we're not always
going to be able to turn something around three hours.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But that was I was. I didn't even have any
input in it.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I was really impressed that Colt recognized you know, the
gentleman's the plight of living a long way away and
went here.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I don't get it because I have to drive two
hours to get to working back every day too. He
probably he might be my neighbor lives.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
The other direction. Okay, well then, Harry, I think, or
somewhere that way.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I think that might be just a fudge further away
than Marianna. It takes me fifty three to fifty five minutes,
given depend on traffic pretty much consistently, to get here
from my house. The funny thing is there's only two
miles difference between my house and the oath and Range
and my house and here, and it takes me an
hour and seven or eight minutes on average. It's between
(12:58):
an hour and ten minutes to get to Doathing.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
You can drive faster on the interstate.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, I go through Perry and Rehobeth and all the
little towns that you know, speed trapped towns, you know, yeah,
slow down, although I hadn't seen a whole lot of
traffic stops do there. But you know, I just I
don't go through.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Cotton Taylor, you said, Perry said.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, Taylor and Roe.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
But you go to back roads. You can do, but
so fast because every now and then the harvest. Well,
I know all that in front of you. It's a
big green tractor. Very sexy when somebody pulls in front
of everyone, and big things matter.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
You know what you used to be. I grew up
on a farm. I used to block traffic all the time.
So I don't get upset about that. I just have
to time it right, try to get around them.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Wait with all your fingers when you go by.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
That's all we asked.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Listen at the general public.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, I never would look over at them, you know,
if I had a big, long line, because I didn't
want to get mad because they might stop at the
same store. I'm gonna stop that on the way to
the feeling awkward?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yea that you pulling a you're pulling a big old
set of disk or something. You can't ease off to
the side of the road. You will mess up somebody's mailbox.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well, I'm of the generation that you got the whitest
disc you could get that didn't fold up. We didn't.
We never have to think we had one folding disc.
No white. I think it was a real white tractor.
We were riving around for non country folks. A white
tractor was actually silver gray. It was not white. It's
the brand was white, but it's uh.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I used to settle right there on ninety and just
on the east side of Marianna. There was a dealership
right yeah, and I remember these things.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, And we had an old ten six six inner
out anyway you'd pull the disc. But if you pulled
off the road and you didn't time it just right,
you were fixing people's mailboxes. Because I have fixed there's
a little town south of Marion, little community between Dry
Creek and Maria called Jerusalem and Jerusalem. I think at
one point in my young life I had replaced most
of the mailboxes in that stretched out straight away right
(14:52):
there and Dry Creek Bridge. It's wide now, you could
run all you could four lane that sucker right now,
be fine. But when I was growing up, they had
the little wooden rails on it, and it was just
wide enough for if you had a twelve foot disk
with the little outer covers on the back gangs with
a with a.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Drag traddle in the middle line, you had.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
To put your drag on their crooked You had to
disconnect one half of the drag and pull it a
diagonal across the disk, and then if you went across
that bridge, you had about six inches on either side.
And our old tractors that where steering at the front
end was so loose that you know that we had
some you couldn't ply, you couldn't cultivate with because you
couldn't hold the rope. I mean, you're just back and forth,
back and forth, trying to keep it going. Everything wore out,
(15:34):
and uh, all the farmers out there going. I remember that.
That was like my dad's trapped.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
You need a new tie rode on that thing.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You see them old white and red international sitting out
there at old square looking angled cab. You don't see
many of them running anymore, but they're still out there.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I got don't you got some equipment sitting in somebody's
field somewhere?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Well, yeah, right right outside, yeah, right out. I had
to borrow. And there's a ten sixty six, No excuse me,
there's a there's a tw ten Ford with a bad
radiator and a freeze plug that needs to be replaced.
And it'll crank up and run if I do a minute,
and then it'll run fine. Once I do that. And
then I got a forty four to forty John Deere
(16:18):
that needs a battery in it and a tire. It
needs a rim. The tire keeps going flat replaced. We
fix the tire four times, but the rim, it's got
a bur in it, and that keeps going flat. So
I need a rim, and I had to. I had
the same two tractors that I drove when I was
in my latter high school years. Those are the ones
Daddy upgraded to their set late seventies models and still run.
(16:39):
The air conditioner on the John Deer still works because
I fix it every time I get on it. That's
a well, I don't know what is biden chloral floor
of carbon regulation stuff. He's pushing there, trying to go
to the next version of refrigerant.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Ain't gonna have no air condition the ain't gonna have
no gas stoves.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I ain't gonna have no country remositioning. Ain't gonna have
no country music. In a minute.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
They gonna do away with the newest stuff that they
put in air conditioners. And we're talking to down Bearing
the other day in the company.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Really, no more thirty four A or whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
They're gonna have to retool all of the equipment and
start up. So you'd better bet your air conditioning repair
is gonna go through the roof. And in Florida you
don't have a choice. Yeah, if you don't have air
condition far you would die. Yeah, but it ain't just Florida.
It's from from southern California to here, to Oklahoma to Virginia,
(17:33):
everywhere south of that line, across the whole bottom half
of the country.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
You won't have the population if they do. If you
didn't have air.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Conditions, well, and they're not gonna do away with it.
They're just gonna make it more expensive because they make
they make them tool up. And the thing is is
they could charge the same amount of money for the refrigerant,
but when their conditioning companies have to buy twenty thirty
forty thousand dollars worth of new equipment or more.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
And probably gonna have to keep the old stuff too because.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Of and they'll tax that out of it, you know,
like the R twelve. You know, you can still find
R twelve here and there, but I mean, you know, it.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Went from two dollars a pound to two hundred and
twenty two dollars a pound or whatever it is for.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, And so then you get all this old stuff
and you know, like we can I remember when we
converted the John Deere from R twelve. We did the
conversion and switched it over to was it R twenty
two or whatever it was at the time, and it
was there one thirty four or one thirty four age, yeah, whatever.
And then you got different refrigerants and like their appliances
(18:31):
have different refrigerants than automotive and house. You know, there's
all these different ones, and that stuff is not cheap, no.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
And then you got to you got the guy working
on it that's got to buy all new tools on
top of that.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Or you got a guy like me who's putting in
a mini split at the death and range and all
proud of hisself for doing it all right and getting
it and didn't need had to do anything. Back into
the lines down and it's got the refriging already in
the system, and I get it going, and I'm like, okay,
find now you to go cover up the lines outside
the building. Then you run a screw right through one
of the copper lines and then you got to call it.
After this, you got to come up there and fix it.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I'm working with here, you see what I'm working with?
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Well, I didn't you know? You know, all right, you
got a wall that's like thirty feet by twelve feet,
and the odds you're putting one screw in it. One
of the odds and I mean it, I screw should shaid, well,
push the copper line to the side, just say get
out of the way. But it didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I went right through it, not the tail on myself.
But when I put in the whole house generator at
the house and put my big, big propane tank, thank you,
run a line from the propane tank down the edge
of the driveway and come across to the to the
to the generator, and and he wanted to dress the
place up a little bit. So we got these landscape
timbers and I you drive me a big hole in there,
(19:53):
and get me some big old spikes to spike them
into the ground.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I hit the propane line with the first, the second,
the second post, the second thing I put in the ground.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I hit that.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
At least you don't smoke, sugar attes, I don't smoke.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Here's the thing. It was the funniest thing.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I hit the drill the hole through the board and
got the big long spike to hold it into the ground.
And I whacked that thing with the with the put
the hammer and the spike jumped back up about three
inches after I hit it.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I'm like compressed there and I'm like, what the had
is going on here? What in the world? I hit
it again? Jump back?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
That was the light? That was that was the line
sounds don't do that?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Who busted a boy right?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
An egg?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Run over there? Find the off the off antle on
that thing.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I don't want to forget. One of one of the
people who was in investigations at f s u p
D when when we were young men told me a
story about one night, uh going outside with his colt revolvers,
got a brand new gonna show it because one of
them handed it to the other one and said, we'll
just walk out. I want I just got to see
what it'll do when they are shot down in the ground.
And he shot his waterline to the house, walked outside
(21:12):
and went boom, broke the water line.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
That's about bad as one of them infamous cop parties
we had at the house one time, and Uh, somebody
somebody cranked around off in my backyard, and I walked
over there and I said, he about three foot from
a five hundred gallon diesel diesel tank that's buried underground
there for my heating oil.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
That's uh uh huh, yeah, there's there was something over that.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Eventually we're down.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
There when somebody got tased, somebody that I was not
had nothing to do with.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
No that, not that I care, but.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
What me neither, But I remember somebody get in trouble
for it. Oh yeah, that was you give the Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
One person gets in trouble, they start telling on all
the other things.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
All right, we'll be back in just a minute with
some country music. Hey, it's the break on the bottom
of the hour break and we're just talking to the
Wiregrass area. You know, we have a radio market in Tylahassee,
and we have a radio market in Dothan. In the
Wiregrass area. We broadcast over a pretty great distance up
(22:13):
here on a very powerful radio station. And if you
haven't noticed listening to the show today, it was from
a year ago. And this is why it's a rerun,
and we don't like to do that. We almost never
do that. But if you've heard the first half and
here in a minute if you listen to the second half,
it's going to be from a July a year ago,
so some of this stuff may be dated. But I
(22:33):
don't have anybody else in the room, So what happened
was a couple of weeks ago. JD right now is
my business partner is in New York City. Yeah, New
York City, and hopefully he hadn't been arrested. I had
heard from him that he sent many pictures and I
haven't heard anything, so hopefully he is not in trouble.
When we travel together sometimes he doesn't like TSA and
(22:56):
he likes to and he carried a gun to New
York City as a retired law enforce So we're gonna
see how that goes when it gets back. I'm sure
he'll tell some stories on next week's show when he's
back in here. But anyway, I am filling in for Grant,
and I am not very smart, and I screwed up
the show. So the show that we did record and
(23:17):
it exists, but it would sound like it was in
a ten can. If you listened to last week's show,
you probably heard some ten can stuff, but not a
whole lot. I managed to not mess it up until
the second hour, there was a camera on the walls
trying to get our radio sales guy from Tallahassee in here.
Dale was in the room and wanted him to be included,
(23:38):
and I plugged in a camera and it took over
the microphone and just messed the whole dad can thing up.
And that's why you get all this. Not that any
of y'all care, but I'm just telling you why it
was messed up and why I have nothing to talk
about right now except trying to fill some airtime. But
I did. I've been trying into doathen market on the
quarter hour and the three quarter hour. We have that
(23:59):
time dedicated to us or any of our advertisers that
we have, and I haven't been real good recently about
filling that time with fresh information, but I'm working on it.
So we have done some things different up here at
the range recently, and this is real time data. Is
we've added some fans to some of our shooting bays,
(24:20):
and we've we've added lights, We've added fans. We're trying
to keep it cool enough for you here this time
of the year to where you can at least on
some of the handgun bays and as soon as we
can get power runner some other stuff, we'll have more
h more down there for you to try to keep
you somewhat comfortable. We do have drinks and snacks, and
there's a cold drink cooler up there, and water and
(24:41):
some energy drinks if you know you're that kind of person.
A few military folks and anyway we've got. We're going
to be carrying more cans suppressors for those of you,
and we will be We do have a three or
eight rifle up there if you want to shoot or
rent a rifle with a suppressor on it to see
what that sounds like. Soon we will probably have something
(25:06):
on an ar platform. If we don't have it now,
I'm not absolutely certain. And we are selling more and
more guns in a doathing store. So you know, we
picked up a stocking clock dealer status here not long ago,
and so we've been carrying and selling more blocks and
some used pistols, some used range rental pistols. We've got
(25:28):
our hands on some used guns we brought over from
our Tallahassee store. If you are in the market to
move some guns, we can. We will take trades. Occasionally
we will purchase some on occasion out of doth and
that's mostly a thing in Tallahassee. And we value the
valuate those guns, either myself or a business partner, but
(25:51):
we we work on those. So if you're trying to
move something or do something different, work with us on it,
because you know, we we were trying to stock the store,
we're a little bit better. Certainly have bulk. We have
bulk nine millimeters. We have plenty of AMMO. And you know,
if you're looking for a birthday present for somebody, you know,
consider a range membership because it's certainly make if they're
(26:14):
into shooting and they don't have, you know, one hundred
acres in their backyard. It is a very Bible gift.
I mean, it's well thought out. If you've got a
shooter in the family, classes things like that, And you
can always come to drive over to Tallahassee to Midway
and our other range and take some of this stuff here.
But I don't know, this is a lot of things
(26:35):
come out. We've got some knives and a bunch of
things that you can purchase here and there. Gun vaults
we do the gun vault selection there as well. And
h bags magazines, the whole nine yards. But anyway, come
see us and we get back to our rerun hamble back.
So here is the controversy of the day, and so
(26:59):
you this word. All right, So this is Jason Aldene's song,
which it can brand new, but it's new. Yeah, and
it wasn't that big a deal until the video hit.
All right, here's the lyrics. Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk,
carjack an old lady at a red light, pull a
gun on the owner of a liquor store. You think
it's cool, will act like a fool if you like.
(27:22):
Cuss out a cop, spit in his face, stump on
the flag and light it up. Yeah, you think you're tough,
Well try that in a small town. See how far
you make it down the road. Around here, we take
care of our own. You cross that line, it won't
take long for you to find out. I recommend you
don't try that in a small town. Got a gun
that my granddad gave me. They say one day they're
(27:43):
gonna round up. Well, that explicit might fly in the city.
Good luck. Try that in a small town. There's the course.
Recommend you don't. Full of good old boys raised up
right if you're looking for a fight, try that in
a small town. Same course, to try that small town.
Oh okay, so or o O or something. I'm not sure,
(28:05):
but the fact is and okay. Jason Auden's a good
country singer. I've never been a huge fan, but I
like some of the songs. I'm now a huge fan
because he stood up to this and he didn't let
them cancel him and he's gonna end up being bigger
because of it. And c MT canceled his video because
they said, well, they just bad. They didn't say anything.
(28:26):
They just bowed to the pressure. But and I saw something.
Uh uh, Luke Brian said, pull my videos off of
c MT two in support of Jason Aldeen, which will
good for him.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
They great up about an hour apart from me.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Oh there they are right.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, he's from Jason from Making and Luke Brian from
up there around opening somewhere.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
North of Albany, Butler in that area.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I met. I met Luke Brian's daddy on a plantation.
We were up there a farm we were bear working security
for when I was meeting the manager and he came
in and goes. Luke Bryce's daddy went good. For him,
you know, the right down the road. Yeah. So the
uh so, the point is is they're saying that now.
I think it's unfortunate that somebody didn't do some sight
(29:15):
research up there and they found a way. You know,
it's a controversial thing, and it's not the song that controversial.
The lyrics aren't controversial. The Hank Williams Junior, Yeah, Hank
william boy, cancer boy can survive.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
He talks about he talks about spitting back in his
lot guy that killed his buddy, and.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, I lot this bitch and beats nothing that dude
it and shoot him with my old forty five because
the country boy can survive. Okay, there's other there's song
after song after song about you know, don't bring that
out here. Don't come here a small town, small town,
small town. And the fact is that the philosophy behind
it is simple. You can do that in a big
city because all the big city is run by liberal
(29:55):
folks and they allow it to happen. But don't bring
that to a small town. I can tell you it
ain't gonna be tolerated in Marianna, Florida. It ain't gonna
be tolerated in Sneeze a grand Ridge or Cottondale, or
probably not both. In Alabama, in the outskirts or any
of the small towns around there.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Ain't a lot of it gonna be talent. They're gonna
be tolerated. In the bigger city of Tallahassee or Jacksonville
or Pensacola, or.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
In Tallahassee, you'd get away with more of it here,
but not not like they can in Seattle places like that,
because even people who lean to the left aren't gonna
put up with a whole not not when the flag
waving and the yelling turns into violence at that point
in time, it will not be tolerated, even in Tallahassee.
That's correct, and that's been very clear, and not only
(30:38):
from city and county law enforcement officials but from the governor.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Well, and it's it's you know, the I didn't I
saw the video. Video is a video, and it's got
clips of people setting stuff on fire, jumping up and
down on the cars, whatever, and you you are not
going to get away with that in the last, huge,
expensive majority of the country. There's probably five or six
(31:05):
cities in the United States where you're going to get
away with that without answering for it.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Well, and so the whole from somebody, this whole try
it in a small thing. And they're saying, well, it's racist, Well,
antifa's predominantly white folks. And Antifa was the cause of
a lot of that stuff. Sure BLM, you know, yes,
there was some of that, but in blocking traffic and
doing things like that, and there was some violence involved
in that. But Antifa's where a lot of that comes from.
And that's not that's not a minority run organization necessarily.
(31:34):
That's got people from all walks of life. And it's
not just that. I mean you look at the people
who are going in and looting stores now and all
the shoplifting and stuff that's going on. Yeah, and the
and I mean, if you look at the lyrics, it's
now granted the footage was from those riots, okay, and
those riots are wrong. Riots are wrong, Protests are fine,
and we allow people to say what's on their mind.
(31:55):
We don't tell people you can't say that. I mean,
I don't agree with the flag you'reave, but I don't
agree with the things you're saying. But I'm not going
to run out and shoot you because I don't agree
with you. You'll be involved in I'm on it. But
if you try to get in my car, hurt my family,
come in my house, come on a business. Somebody walked in.
What would happen if somebody walked in the front door
his gun store, the baseball bat and started smashing things.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
They'd probably get shot a lot.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
They'd probably get shot a whole bunch, because everybody this
place has got a gun on, you know, and it's
not and I don't care if he's white, black, Hispanic,
you know what, whatever else is out there, Asian. You know.
The thing is is we have all those people working here.
You know, it's it's you know, I know a very
I know a Korean that will shoot your rear end
that comes in here all the time. Yeah, you know so,
(32:34):
I mean it sucker punched somebody on a sidewalk. Yeah,
we'll fight back on that carjacking Old lady at a
red light. Listen.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I got old Lady trained eighty.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
I trained the eighty three year old woman the other
night or the other afternoon in Dothan who came in
and she had her brand new Smith and Wesson Easy nine.
I wanted training that day. I stuck around a late
to help her. And I won't say she's an old lady,
but she's eighty three years old. And she came in
and she got training for two hours with me, and
she wanted to know how to run it. She wanted
(33:02):
to know what what the law said. She want to understand.
She says, listen, So if somebody follows me in my
car on my bumper for fifteen miles and they were
to run me off the road, and I see them
walking up to my car, you know, looking angry, coming
after me, what could I do? I said, at that point,
if they tried to get in your car, they've already
(33:23):
they're guilty of aggravated assault, aggravating you know, aggravated battery
with a deadly weapon. And they're coming up to your car,
they're coming in here, you shoot them. And she says,
that's what I wanted to know. That So you she says,
if it's a carjacking, Kennon, And that's exactly a line
in that song. And that's exactly why she went and
got training. So I'm telling you right now, it might
look like a little old lady because she was small.
She had small hands trying to hold that gun. But
(33:46):
I tell you what, by the end of it, I
wouldn't want her shooting at me. And now she knows
when she can do it. And that's what train is for.
So cuss out of copspit in his face, you know.
You know that's that's battery. That's a pelony, battery on
a law enforcement officer. You know you're gonna get arrested
for that. Around here. Pull a gun on the owner
of a liquor store, Well, I bet you if you
walk right around the corner here and pull a gun
(34:06):
on Sam that that is the happy time liquor store
or whatever around the corner. I wouldn't. I put this way,
I wouldn't pull a gun on Sam Okay. And he's
an Indian fella, you know. And I'm just telling you
in this day and age, you tell me if I'm lying.
The number of people from the minority community in our
(34:29):
area at our Tallahassee Range particularly has grown over the
time we've been here, apportionate to the number of white
folks coming for training and buying guns.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Absolutely absolutely, And I applauded with full full effort. I
mean it's just it's it is truly, you know, A
wonderful thing that there, that they feel comfortable enough to
come here to get training, to practice their craft and
to carry and I mean, you know, Carrie gun to
(35:02):
defend themselves.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
So here's the thing is, are there racist lyrics that
are clearly clearly racist in rap music? Clearly and anti
ky tons of them? Yes, okay, are we trying to
can com We don't like it.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I don't like like it, don't.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
I'm not trying to cancel. I just want to listen
to it. They put videos out there and they do
things I don't. I just look at it and I
shake my head and they go in I hate people
think like that, and that's promoting that. Well, how many
of those versus how many of these? And granted, you know,
I get it. There was a history in our country
of stuff like that in there. You don't want to
listen to Johnny Paycheck's live albums and with Thin Skin.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Or David allen Coe or a whole bunch of others.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Yeah, David allen Coe would be you would a liberal's
head would explode.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah, so they would. And it's but we can't do
anything about that. I can't. I can't change any of that.
I can't change any of those. So I don't know
why the other side of this, the people that are
out there on ABC and CBC, NBC, all the all
the the left leaning media, don't listen to it, don't
(36:19):
watch it. It's simple if it offends you that much.
But they have absolutely lost their mind over this, and
I can't figure out the why.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
I just can't.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
One of America's anthems after post post nine to eleven
was Toby Keith, you know, I'll put a boot in
your system. It's the American way. Yeah, that's a country
that's just saying. Everybody was yeah, yeah, beer from my horses. Yeah,
hang them high in the street. There you go, We'll
be right back and we're back. Well, we tried to
(36:56):
get Faull on there, tried twice and just week.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
We can hear him, we can talk to him, but
it's it's just getting out.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Y'all trying to figure out what he was saying. So
what what was he telling us?
Speaker 3 (37:08):
He was saying that the bass the last few days
had been tearing it up, and he's catching some crappy
as well. But uh, early and late as per normal
this time of year. Top water early in the morning.
Been catching him on top water, been catching some big ones.
Uh and uh, just you know he's he's cooling it
in the middle of the day though, like everybody else
(37:29):
ought to be. And if you're gonna do something, if
you're gonna go fishing, you want to be out there
really early and watch the sun come up. That's worth
getting up for in and of itself.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
So Jdi had to get in contact with Paul. If
I want to go fishing with him.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Uh, well, you can call him at eight five o
two six four seven five three four Captain Paul Tire
Fishing Adventures, Uh, Yahoo dot com and all that good stuff.
He's a he's easy to find.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
There you go. Sorry, sorry we missed Paul. Just to
get we got a new studio. We've been trying to
muddle through some stuff and this system where just the
Paul Tire segment fishing segment is especially problematic.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Over the phone anyway, he's here, it works good.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Oh yeah, when he's here, it's fantastic. We just push
a button for that microphone.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Over and I like it when he comes in here
because he usually leaves with a new TFO rod when
he comes in, so it's kind of a you know,
we trap him and get him to the store here
to sell him a fishing pole.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Anyway, all right, well yeah, ah man, I tell you what.
I tell you what hear that today, I tell you what.
So now I don't have anything to talk about in
the last segment because I was expecting to hear something
from Paul and that would spur some.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Thoughts when this show airs. Amanda Is her birthday is today, Saturday,
the twenty second. Well, happy birthday to her sixteen years old.
So y'all keep us all in your prayers, and keep
yourself in your prayers. If you're driving around northeast Tallahasse.
It's about all words. She's going to be driving any now.
(38:56):
She drives really good. She hopefully and hopefully that I'll
continue and you when she's in the car by herself.
But uh, it's hard hard to believe. I got a
Tallahassee traffic that that that that child is turning sixteen
this weekend.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
So but uh, Jesse.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
My fifteen year old, she'll be sixteen after the first
of year, and I'll be glad because then she can
start driving all the kids to school in the morning.
And I don't have to do it. But poor poor thing,
if you put her in Tallahassee traffic, she los traffic
about like I do.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Amanda's been driving a lot, and we've had her in
a couple of the we did that Sheriff's Office driving
school that the Sheriff's Office puts on, and uh so
we're trying to get her as much training as we can.
So we don't just unleash unleas your unleas you're on
the public.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
You know, if I lived in Tallahassee, I'd be teaching
Jesse to pit maneuver. All right, so you're late for school,
here's what you do. You just you just you ease
that right, you pace, you match, and then you quarter turn.
Just put up next to rubens racing. You pull up
next to them, You paste your front bumper or their
(40:03):
their rear bumper on this side, and then you just
ease over and touch them. As soon as you touch him,
you just quarter turn steer towards them and then just
drive straight to everything. Be fine. That's your whole pit maneuver,
right there. Ain't that right?
Speaker 2 (40:14):
That's right there?
Speaker 1 (40:15):
You go. That's how to pitch somebody. You would like
to keep your speeds lower than you know, eighty miles
an hour, because you can kill somebody doing it, cause
a flip at low speeds. It's perfectly safe.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
It just it is.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
It just costs.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
You and I have both been on the receiving and
the giving end to that during during training stuff.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. I don't think that the
child's parking lot is probably the best place to do it,
or Lincoln or any of you know, God, but it
can be done well. If we didn't want about the
pitt maneuver, when we were driving golf carts all over
FSU campus, we'd have been I bet you can't put me,
I bet you can't run me sideways, and I'll.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Bet get out there on the wet grass. You probably
make that thing do a couple of three sixties with
the golf car.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Well, I'm the idiot and on on bike patrol and
we ride mountain bikes. I had to ease up and
touch my tire to the back tire whoever's in front
of me, just to freak them out. You know, juvenile.
Back in the day, it wasn't always mature and level
headed the.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Way we've got.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
The Internal Affairs Investigator would call that a random sophomoric behavior.
I've been accused of random sophomoric behavior at times.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's steady freshman behavior.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
Oh man, but yeah it's uh, I tell you it's
a world keeps. I got one more year of taking
my youngest one to middle school, and then she'll be
in high school. And when they're both in the same
high school for one year, so uh, I'll get the
one cause oh when that littland gets a high old boy,
oh the world. The world ain't ready for her yet.
(41:50):
I don't think she Uh that is one sassy child.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Where on earth does she get that from?
Speaker 3 (41:58):
I don't, no, you know, I completely understand Tater's behavior.
Uh I do, I get it completely. That's a that's
a that's a four, that's a that's a me and
a thirteen year old girl right there.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
But uh well, Annie ain't exactly you know.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Yeah, Annie's not in timidy that I.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Don't want any man because she scares me a little bit.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
So she scares me a lot. I live with her.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
Uh So I watched my step but uh no, it's
uh the I tell you Amanda's uh that, I tell
you what Amanda's summer job has been so far.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
Tell them.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
So, Travis Russell opened a store here in our building,
and he's doing law enforcement supply stuff and uniform sales
and so forth and so on. So he got about,
I think it was like four hundred shirts or three
hundred shirts for an agency here, and she was going
to be sewing the patches on the sleeves and doing
the epulets and the buttonholes and all this other stuff
(42:57):
to these shirts to finish them out well, and behold,
the uniform company has a fancy laser machine that does
the shirts the patches on the shirt, so she didn't
have to do the patches. But she's doing all the
uplets and the stuff, so she sews. She actually makes Amanda's,
the sixteen year old, actually makes her own clothes and
(43:19):
wears them to school and wears them in public. She
makes her own dresses and makes her own stuff. She's
a very very talented seamstress at sixteen now, she's been
sewing since she was ten. My mom has taught all
the girl children how to sew, and.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Well, she's been looking like a scholarships and stuff behind
some of the stuff.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, I mean for costume design and
that kind of stuff. She's got an incredible mind and
imagination and she can actually.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Job designer for Jason Aldines next to the music video.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Yeah, there you go. But that's not a bad idea, Charlie.
But anyway, so I'm super proud of her, and I
wish her all the best and just you know, she's
she's got a bright future ahead of her.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
So good.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Anyway, it's a I tell you, we have had one
heck of a busy week at at work this week.
Speaker 3 (44:16):
It's just been one thing after another. And with the
gunsmith and business and all that stuff, it's it's been ononerful.
We've had some really neat guns. I briefly touched on
in between the segments, getting to go look at a
Civil War and absolutely most likely fired in anger during
the Civil War rifle. And we get to see some
(44:38):
of the coolest things. We get stuff coming in here
that's you know, historical. Got a guy who's going to
be bringing some more of his he's liquidating a World
War two collection. I think he's supposed to be bringing
in five different manufacturer in one car beings very soon.
I don't know when they're going to get here, but
we're getting there. Were I want to say it was
(45:03):
at least eight, maybe even twelve different companies during World
War Two that manufactured the M one car being, none
of which well I say none of which, one of
which was a gun company the went Winchester. But there
were a whole bunch of them that were that made
car parks and tractors and juke boxes and sewing machines
(45:27):
and business machines as in typewriters and those kinds of things.
IBM was one of the manufacturers. Rockola, the jukebox company
manufactured in one car beings during World War two, the
International Postal Meter that made the little locks, little lot
works and the mechanisms on the on the post office
(45:48):
boxes and things involving the postal industry. All of these
companies during World War two came together to manufacture firearms
for our military. And so just you can have guys
that are M one car being collectors and that's all
they do is seek those rare rare some of them
(46:12):
are more rare than others. But we've got some of
those coming in so we get to see some cool stuff,
I mean some really cool stuff.
Speaker 1 (46:20):
So for the people that don't know. The N one
car beings were used in which wars World War two
in Korea, primarily they were different versions of those.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
There was well, there was an M one originally with
a bunch of different manufacturers. They made updates and changes.
There was a paratrooper model with a folding side folding wirestock.
Only one company made those, so it was I believe
Underwood that made it. Was either Inland or Underwood. I
think it was Underwood that made all the paratroopers. So
(46:51):
if you ever see like an International postal meter with
a folding side stock on it that ain't dead on match,
that wasn't not original. There were several different companies that
made the M one garans the main battle rifles. So
you can get into this stuff and really get into
it and learn a lot of history by it. And
then they up through the Korean War. During the Korean
(47:14):
War they put this little happy switch on one side
of it and uh, it was fully automatic. It went
to a turned it into a submachine gun basically during
that war. So it's been around.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
So if anybody's every wondering if JD knows about guns,
this was just a perfect example and it gets way
deeper than that anyway. All right, well, let's go wind
us up for the week and talk to y'all next time.
Speaker 2 (47:37):
Bye.
And welcome to the Town Outdoor Show.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm Charlie and I'm Jade and I'm Grant.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It's just the trio today. I forgot to invite anybody, just.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Us, Yeah, just Justice. Oh man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I felt like it was we sitting there last night
and Donna was like, I don't even know what day
it is. I said, I don't either, but it feels
like it. Later in the week, I got I got
up on some ladders the other day and one of
the hottest days, that had to be one the hotest
days of the year, and I was just soaked putting
up surveillance cameras. I'm a big brother. Now you heard
that security company. We're gonna watch. We're gonna run the
(00:35):
home that's off your property. That's what that's what we do.
I had to take a psychological test yesterday you leave
in my application for as a reserved deputy back home,
and during the test, it asked, you know how those
questions go. You've taken enough of the m mp I
and all those things. And I had to sit through
that thing and I she walked in and sat it
(00:55):
now and bless her heart, I said, I ain't taking
that and she looked at me and went, well, that's uh.
We just required what do you want to do? And
I said, all right, whatever, how many questions? It's two
hundred and forty I want to No, it's about thirty.
But they asked them that many times the word it's
two hundred and forty, I said, I said, I said, yeah,
(01:16):
there's gonna be some questions and do I like flowers?
And do I look at my poop? And you know
that kind of thing? That's what that's what those joke, Yeah,
I know joke. How many times have you answered that
question in your career over the year? Yeah, and always
the same way they used to make They used to
make us.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
When we were on the White team, they made us
take an annual psychological and part of that, doctor Stumbell
had us take the mnp I or some version of
the m mp I. And after about a decade, I
think she finally quit giving it to us. I mean, anyway,
I don't know how many people that are filtered out,
but I'm going through there. That says and it didn't
say do you like flowers? It says do you like
(01:55):
certain do you sometimes get lost in certain types of music?
Do you fade away into fantasy thoughts and do daydream.
And I do daydream a little bit, but it's about
how we going to make money teaching this class, or
how do we put together an active shooter course, or
how do we you know, I daydream about, you know,
(02:16):
how do we put together a shooting drill? I mean,
that's not the stuff they want to hear. I'm pretty
sure you know. And one of the questions, and this
the reason I mean A mentioned homeless. It says, do
you feel empathy for the homeless? And then that said
and asked that question about five different ways do you
sometimes feel sorry for someone who is panhandling? And I'm like,
(02:36):
I strongly disagree, strongly disagree. No, I don't have any
sympathy for them, because one of the things that I
do through the security company is we get hired to
go out and run homeless people off of their property
because they're panhandling, their harass and their house and people.
We had one at one place was came in another
morning to manage the building and they were peeled on
the side of the building cursing people out. That's you
don't have sympathy for people they are doing. They have
mental health problems. They need to be run off and
get up.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I would say this, you probably do have sympathy for
some people that are and that's but people that choose
to be I say, the people that choose to live
in the woods and not be part of society, it's
their choice, and right, why would you have sympathy? And
if that's what they want to do with their life,
I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And the guy who pretends he's in a wheelchair panhandling,
you know, and runs as long as a wheelchair on
the west side and then he gets just puts his
stuff in a cart and then gets in a wheelchair
and rolls out into traffic. And of course there's new
ordinances they're dealing with. That city's dealing with that right now.
And then they've gone back to issuing trespassed wants and
making arrests on the shopping centers. They just need somebody
(03:39):
watching them in that kind of what what what I
do with that? So no I And I even told
that doctor. I said, listen, I don't mean to sound
like I'm not I don't have empathy for these folks
in that test, but you got to understand why I
don't have empathy for.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Then you ain't got some of them? Is a answer, yes,
some of them.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
So one of the questions was was, no, she can't
disclose this, but I can because it's me. It says,
you know, have you? Do you have any Have you
ever had thoughts of suicide? I'm like, you know, have
you ever thought about hurting yourself? I said, I thought
about it after I did it, but it was purely
by accident. You ram your head into a cabinet. You
know you think about hurting yourself. Yeah, I just did it.
(04:23):
You know you you know, you burn yourself with a
cutting towards by accident. This this all accident. But I'm
pretty maybe I don't know, maybe just something subconsciously in
my brain that wants me to hurt my Maybe I'm
into that. I just don't. I don't know. To make
you start interesting looking at yourself with introspect, No, this
says have you yet? But here's a serious question. Have
you ever thought of harming other people?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
All the time?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
All that? Well? Yeah, I said, I don't do it,
but I think about it. And I said, on top
of that, I teach people how to do it, So
you got to think about it. I said, but she goes,
I know who we're in, we know when you come in,
we know what we're dealing with. And I said, no,
it's not like I go around, you know, constantly trying
to figure out a way to hide a body. I mean,
(05:09):
I know how to do that. I don't need to
think about it. But you know it's so I may.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Or may not shovel and shut up.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I may or may not be joining the agency. I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah, that's just kind of a silly question to ask
people that are going in law Enforcement's like, do you
think about hurting? Do you ever think about hurting people
somebody else? I'm like, yeah, I just went through the
police academy where you know DT, between DT and firearms
is that's that's absolutely what.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You think about.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
And if you don't think about it, then you won't
be prepared to do it when a time, when the
time comsatly, that's the thing you have to you have
to roll out and consider.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
If you if you aren't mentally okay with doing harm
to another person, law enforcement is not the career for you,
right and probably carrying a gun is not the thing
for you, even as a civilian. If you're not mentally
prepared to hurt someone to defend yourself for somebody else.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
You don't need a gun.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
You need the capacity to do extreme violence. You just
don't need the You don't shouldn't have the propensity to
do it. So it's not likely you're going to do it.
You're not itching for the chance. You're not going to
run out and do it at the drop of a hat.
But you need to be able to. And that's you know,
that's a you know, Jay and I have long set
on the show that just under the surface of our
(06:20):
calm demeanor is the ability to do extreme violence.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I just have a you know, I don't do good
and confine spaces and blend food. So therefore I'm not
likely to I'm not likely to hit you in the
mouth because I don't want to go to jail. I mean,
it's pretty simple.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I mean, yeah, I see. Anyway, it's always interesting when
you go back. I have been poked and prodded and
drawn e blood at two places. You're in at two
places within thirty minutes. Try that at fifty six years old.
The you know, we need your and I said no.
I got an appointment right down on the road in
twenty minutes. I got to give your in for a
drug test, and they're like, oh, well, you got to
(06:58):
give it here too. She was only you a little bit.
I said, that's not the way it works. You turn
on to speak it, you're gonna get what you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I just there's starts off and gets you a couple
of beers in between.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I said, I'm sitting herything the long way. She's gonna
get me to cut it off as if she opens
the door right in the middle of and then that.
I hope I still have that ability to shut off. Ma'am.
My No is gonna sound weird, but I got to
save up something for the drug test. Can you open
it when you hear it? Can you just open the
door in hurry and go hey and scare me?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, you're not right in the head.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Well, I hope I'll pass that test.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You show up to the second one and you go,
They go, have you been sure? Have you been drinking beer?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I had to pee you about thirty minutes ago and
I was out for a while.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
That's one of these questions. Do you drink? I'm like, yeah,
I drink, you know, socially around. I don't drink by myself.
I drink, you know, socially with other people Jack, and
I'm like, I don't know how often. It's when I
don't have anything else to do, and she goes, well,
you sound pretty busy. I said, that's the problem. I'm
so busy. I never have a chance to drink.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Do you drink? Not near as much as i'd like to, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I'd probably I would probably be an alcoholic if I
didn't have anything to do. The problem is is everything
I do requires me to be one hundred percent sober,
and therefore I never drink, except on rare occasions when
I love my wife and I go what are we
doing today? And she goes, we don't have any plans.
We gonna hang out by the pool. Yeah, you don't drink,
And then she'll go, oh, no, I'm having to listen
(08:34):
out at work. Okay, give me, give me, give me
a mountain dew. Then I'm stuck. You know, it's so
the desire to do it is there. It's just it's
just I would be alcoholic public, you know what. I
don't want it to be anonymous. I just want to drink.
But I can't. That's what life is when you have responsibilities,
(08:58):
Ain't that true? Yeah, it's kind of like, well, it
was kind of like you know, if all you had
to do was go fish, you'd fish all the time.
When was the last time I went fishing.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's been about two weeks, three weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, but before that, how long was it? About two
months before that? That's what I'm saying. But you want
a fish every day I think about it. Yeah, you'd
be a fish, a haulic if you were allowed to be.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Oh like you wouldn't believe or unless it was hunting
season and then I'd be hunting.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Oh I could be. You'd be a stone old killer.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Let me tell you I would. I would be a
mountain man.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
And if the world would let me, I just go
move off up in the up in the woods.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Somewhere and just I don't know that you could put
off the beard.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, no, i'd have to glue one on.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I'm like two days from looking like one.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, if I could, if I could do a beard
like you have, you know, I just do this So
y'all don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I'm twelve.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Well, be right about hand, we're back. I'm about to
laugh myself out just talking about something seriously. Anyway, So
you said on the break, did the gun smithing business?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Says, yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Uh you know, I got this this watch here that
tells you how much how much walking you do in
a day?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Right right?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I did seventy five hundred steps yesterday in the building.
We'll not counting walking to in front of the truck,
to the house and all that, but it at work
yesterday I did about seventy five hundred steps and most
of that was back and forth between the front counter
and and the Colt Colt shop out back, the gunsmith
shop out back. I think people have figured out we
(10:40):
have a gunsmith here in town.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
And well, I mean we've been telling everybody, so yeah,
people do listen.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
People do listen.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
He's doing such he's doing an amazing job, doing a
fantastic job.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
And uh the uh.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
So we're we're getting a lot of a lot of
stuff in and we were returned a bunch of stuff yesterday,
so we were we was busy with it.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Well, good good, I'm glad to hear Colt's getting busy.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You know, well we don't have he doesn't have much
of a weight, but when you get busy, then you know,
we'll see.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
How had We had a gentleman that came in yesterday morning,
right at open, and he had two guns he wanted
to work on. Now, I'm not saying that this is
gonna happen every time you bring a gun to the gunsmith,
but this guy lived. He said his his trip from
home to here round trip was about one hundred and
twenty miles, so he lived sixty miles away, and he
(11:32):
came over here to get a holster made, to get
us to make him a holster. And he said, I
want to X, Y and Z done to these two
guns or whatever. He dropped them off, told Colt that
I live a long way away deal, and three hours
later he left with his both of his guns repaired
to his to his liking.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
One of them was a trigger trigger job on one
of them and.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
A actual repair on a broken fire and pen. He
needed to referb the firing pin on one of them,
and so he cold understands. You know, we're not always
going to be able to turn something around three hours.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But that was I was. I didn't even have any
input in it.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I was really impressed that Colt recognized you know, the
gentleman's the plight of living a long way away and
went here.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I don't get it because I have to drive two
hours to get to working back every day too. He
probably he might be my neighbor lives.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
The other direction. Okay, well then, Harry, I think, or
somewhere that way.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I think that might be just a fudge further away
than Marianna. It takes me fifty three to fifty five minutes,
given depend on traffic pretty much consistently, to get here
from my house. The funny thing is there's only two
miles difference between my house and the oath and Range
and my house and here, and it takes me an
hour and seven or eight minutes on average. It's between
(12:58):
an hour and ten minutes to get to Doathing.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
You can drive faster on the interstate.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, I go through Perry and Rehobeth and all the
little towns that you know, speed trapped towns, you know, yeah,
slow down, although I hadn't seen a whole lot of
traffic stops do there. But you know, I just I
don't go through.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Cotton Taylor, you said, Perry said.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, Taylor and Roe.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
But you go to back roads. You can do, but
so fast because every now and then the harvest. Well,
I know all that in front of you. It's a
big green tractor. Very sexy when somebody pulls in front
of everyone, and big things matter.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
You know what you used to be. I grew up
on a farm. I used to block traffic all the time.
So I don't get upset about that. I just have
to time it right, try to get around them.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Wait with all your fingers when you go by.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
That's all we asked.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Listen at the general public.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, I never would look over at them, you know,
if I had a big, long line, because I didn't
want to get mad because they might stop at the
same store. I'm gonna stop that on the way to
the feeling awkward?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yea that you pulling a you're pulling a big old
set of disk or something. You can't ease off to
the side of the road. You will mess up somebody's mailbox.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well, I'm of the generation that you got the whitest
disc you could get that didn't fold up. We didn't.
We never have to think we had one folding disc.
No white. I think it was a real white tractor.
We were riving around for non country folks. A white
tractor was actually silver gray. It was not white. It's
the brand was white, but it's uh.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I used to settle right there on ninety and just
on the east side of Marianna. There was a dealership
right yeah, and I remember these things.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, And we had an old ten six six inner
out anyway you'd pull the disc. But if you pulled
off the road and you didn't time it just right,
you were fixing people's mailboxes. Because I have fixed there's
a little town south of Marion, little community between Dry
Creek and Maria called Jerusalem and Jerusalem. I think at
one point in my young life I had replaced most
of the mailboxes in that stretched out straight away right
(14:52):
there and Dry Creek Bridge. It's wide now, you could
run all you could four lane that sucker right now,
be fine. But when I was growing up, they had
the little wooden rails on it, and it was just
wide enough for if you had a twelve foot disk
with the little outer covers on the back gangs with
a with a.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Drag traddle in the middle line, you had.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
To put your drag on their crooked You had to
disconnect one half of the drag and pull it a
diagonal across the disk, and then if you went across
that bridge, you had about six inches on either side.
And our old tractors that where steering at the front
end was so loose that you know that we had
some you couldn't ply, you couldn't cultivate with because you
couldn't hold the rope. I mean, you're just back and forth,
back and forth, trying to keep it going. Everything wore out,
(15:34):
and uh, all the farmers out there going. I remember that.
That was like my dad's trapped.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
You need a new tie rode on that thing.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You see them old white and red international sitting out
there at old square looking angled cab. You don't see
many of them running anymore, but they're still out there.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I got don't you got some equipment sitting in somebody's
field somewhere?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Well, yeah, right right outside, yeah, right out. I had
to borrow. And there's a ten sixty six, No excuse me,
there's a there's a tw ten Ford with a bad
radiator and a freeze plug that needs to be replaced.
And it'll crank up and run if I do a minute,
and then it'll run fine. Once I do that. And
then I got a forty four to forty John Deere
(16:18):
that needs a battery in it and a tire. It
needs a rim. The tire keeps going flat replaced. We
fix the tire four times, but the rim, it's got
a bur in it, and that keeps going flat. So
I need a rim, and I had to. I had
the same two tractors that I drove when I was
in my latter high school years. Those are the ones
Daddy upgraded to their set late seventies models and still run.
(16:39):
The air conditioner on the John Deer still works because
I fix it every time I get on it. That's
a well, I don't know what is biden chloral floor
of carbon regulation stuff. He's pushing there, trying to go
to the next version of refrigerant.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Ain't gonna have no air condition the ain't gonna have
no gas stoves.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I ain't gonna have no country remositioning. Ain't gonna have
no country music. In a minute.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
They gonna do away with the newest stuff that they
put in air conditioners. And we're talking to down Bearing
the other day in the company.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Really, no more thirty four A or whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
They're gonna have to retool all of the equipment and
start up. So you'd better bet your air conditioning repair
is gonna go through the roof. And in Florida you
don't have a choice. Yeah, if you don't have air
condition far you would die. Yeah, but it ain't just Florida.
It's from from southern California to here, to Oklahoma to Virginia,
(17:33):
everywhere south of that line, across the whole bottom half
of the country.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
You won't have the population if they do. If you
didn't have air.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Conditions, well, and they're not gonna do away with it.
They're just gonna make it more expensive because they make
they make them tool up. And the thing is is
they could charge the same amount of money for the refrigerant,
but when their conditioning companies have to buy twenty thirty
forty thousand dollars worth of new equipment or more.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
And probably gonna have to keep the old stuff too because.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Of and they'll tax that out of it, you know,
like the R twelve. You know, you can still find
R twelve here and there, but I mean, you know, it.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Went from two dollars a pound to two hundred and
twenty two dollars a pound or whatever it is for.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, And so then you get all this old stuff
and you know, like we can I remember when we
converted the John Deere from R twelve. We did the
conversion and switched it over to was it R twenty
two or whatever it was at the time, and it
was there one thirty four or one thirty four age, yeah, whatever.
And then you got different refrigerants and like their appliances
(18:31):
have different refrigerants than automotive and house. You know, there's
all these different ones, and that stuff is not cheap, no.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
And then you got to you got the guy working
on it that's got to buy all new tools on
top of that.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Or you got a guy like me who's putting in
a mini split at the death and range and all
proud of hisself for doing it all right and getting
it and didn't need had to do anything. Back into
the lines down and it's got the refriging already in
the system, and I get it going, and I'm like, okay,
find now you to go cover up the lines outside
the building. Then you run a screw right through one
of the copper lines and then you got to call it.
After this, you got to come up there and fix it.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I'm working with here, you see what I'm working with?
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Well, I didn't you know? You know, all right, you
got a wall that's like thirty feet by twelve feet,
and the odds you're putting one screw in it. One
of the odds and I mean it, I screw should shaid, well,
push the copper line to the side, just say get
out of the way. But it didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I went right through it, not the tail on myself.
But when I put in the whole house generator at
the house and put my big, big propane tank, thank you,
run a line from the propane tank down the edge
of the driveway and come across to the to the
to the generator, and and he wanted to dress the
place up a little bit. So we got these landscape
timbers and I you drive me a big hole in there,
(19:53):
and get me some big old spikes to spike them
into the ground.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I hit the propane line with the first, the second,
the second post, the second thing I put in the ground.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I hit that.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
At least you don't smoke, sugar attes, I don't smoke.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Here's the thing. It was the funniest thing.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I hit the drill the hole through the board and
got the big long spike to hold it into the ground.
And I whacked that thing with the with the put
the hammer and the spike jumped back up about three
inches after I hit it.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I'm like compressed there and I'm like, what the had
is going on here? What in the world? I hit
it again? Jump back?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
That was the light? That was that was the line
sounds don't do that?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Who busted a boy right?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
An egg?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Run over there? Find the off the off antle on
that thing.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I don't want to forget. One of one of the
people who was in investigations at f s u p
D when when we were young men told me a
story about one night, uh going outside with his colt revolvers,
got a brand new gonna show it because one of
them handed it to the other one and said, we'll
just walk out. I want I just got to see
what it'll do when they are shot down in the ground.
And he shot his waterline to the house, walked outside
(21:12):
and went boom, broke the water line.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
That's about bad as one of them infamous cop parties
we had at the house one time, and Uh, somebody
somebody cranked around off in my backyard, and I walked
over there and I said, he about three foot from
a five hundred gallon diesel diesel tank that's buried underground
there for my heating oil.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
That's uh uh huh, yeah, there's there was something over that.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Eventually we're down.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
There when somebody got tased, somebody that I was not
had nothing to do with.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
No that, not that I care, but.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
What me neither, But I remember somebody get in trouble
for it. Oh yeah, that was you give the Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
One person gets in trouble, they start telling on all
the other things.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
All right, we'll be back in just a minute with
some country music. Hey, it's the break on the bottom
of the hour break and we're just talking to the
Wiregrass area. You know, we have a radio market in Tylahassee,
and we have a radio market in Dothan. In the
Wiregrass area. We broadcast over a pretty great distance up
(22:13):
here on a very powerful radio station. And if you
haven't noticed listening to the show today, it was from
a year ago. And this is why it's a rerun,
and we don't like to do that. We almost never
do that. But if you've heard the first half and
here in a minute if you listen to the second half,
it's going to be from a July a year ago,
so some of this stuff may be dated. But I
(22:33):
don't have anybody else in the room, So what happened
was a couple of weeks ago. JD right now is
my business partner is in New York City. Yeah, New
York City, and hopefully he hadn't been arrested. I had
heard from him that he sent many pictures and I
haven't heard anything, so hopefully he is not in trouble.
When we travel together sometimes he doesn't like TSA and
(22:56):
he likes to and he carried a gun to New
York City as a retired law enforce So we're gonna
see how that goes when it gets back. I'm sure
he'll tell some stories on next week's show when he's
back in here. But anyway, I am filling in for Grant,
and I am not very smart, and I screwed up
the show. So the show that we did record and
(23:17):
it exists, but it would sound like it was in
a ten can. If you listened to last week's show,
you probably heard some ten can stuff, but not a
whole lot. I managed to not mess it up until
the second hour, there was a camera on the walls
trying to get our radio sales guy from Tallahassee in here.
Dale was in the room and wanted him to be included,
(23:38):
and I plugged in a camera and it took over
the microphone and just messed the whole dad can thing up.
And that's why you get all this. Not that any
of y'all care, but I'm just telling you why it
was messed up and why I have nothing to talk
about right now except trying to fill some airtime. But
I did. I've been trying into doathen market on the
quarter hour and the three quarter hour. We have that
(23:59):
time dedicated to us or any of our advertisers that
we have, and I haven't been real good recently about
filling that time with fresh information, but I'm working on it.
So we have done some things different up here at
the range recently, and this is real time data. Is
we've added some fans to some of our shooting bays,
(24:20):
and we've we've added lights, We've added fans. We're trying
to keep it cool enough for you here this time
of the year to where you can at least on
some of the handgun bays and as soon as we
can get power runner some other stuff, we'll have more
h more down there for you to try to keep
you somewhat comfortable. We do have drinks and snacks, and
there's a cold drink cooler up there, and water and
(24:41):
some energy drinks if you know you're that kind of person.
A few military folks and anyway we've got. We're going
to be carrying more cans suppressors for those of you,
and we will be We do have a three or
eight rifle up there if you want to shoot or
rent a rifle with a suppressor on it to see
what that sounds like. Soon we will probably have something
(25:06):
on an ar platform. If we don't have it now,
I'm not absolutely certain. And we are selling more and
more guns in a doathing store. So you know, we
picked up a stocking clock dealer status here not long ago,
and so we've been carrying and selling more blocks and
some used pistols, some used range rental pistols. We've got
(25:28):
our hands on some used guns we brought over from
our Tallahassee store. If you are in the market to
move some guns, we can. We will take trades. Occasionally
we will purchase some on occasion out of doth and
that's mostly a thing in Tallahassee. And we value the
valuate those guns, either myself or a business partner, but
(25:51):
we we work on those. So if you're trying to
move something or do something different, work with us on it,
because you know, we we were trying to stock the store,
we're a little bit better. Certainly have bulk. We have
bulk nine millimeters. We have plenty of AMMO. And you know,
if you're looking for a birthday present for somebody, you know,
consider a range membership because it's certainly make if they're
(26:14):
into shooting and they don't have, you know, one hundred
acres in their backyard. It is a very Bible gift.
I mean, it's well thought out. If you've got a
shooter in the family, classes things like that, And you
can always come to drive over to Tallahassee to Midway
and our other range and take some of this stuff here.
But I don't know, this is a lot of things
(26:35):
come out. We've got some knives and a bunch of
things that you can purchase here and there. Gun vaults
we do the gun vault selection there as well. And
h bags magazines, the whole nine yards. But anyway, come
see us and we get back to our rerun hamble back.
So here is the controversy of the day, and so
(26:59):
you this word. All right, So this is Jason Aldene's song,
which it can brand new, but it's new. Yeah, and
it wasn't that big a deal until the video hit.
All right, here's the lyrics. Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk,
carjack an old lady at a red light, pull a
gun on the owner of a liquor store. You think
it's cool, will act like a fool if you like.
(27:22):
Cuss out a cop, spit in his face, stump on
the flag and light it up. Yeah, you think you're tough,
Well try that in a small town. See how far
you make it down the road. Around here, we take
care of our own. You cross that line, it won't
take long for you to find out. I recommend you
don't try that in a small town. Got a gun
that my granddad gave me. They say one day they're
(27:43):
gonna round up. Well, that explicit might fly in the city.
Good luck. Try that in a small town. There's the course.
Recommend you don't. Full of good old boys raised up
right if you're looking for a fight, try that in
a small town. Same course, to try that small town.
Oh okay, so or o O or something. I'm not sure,
(28:05):
but the fact is and okay. Jason Auden's a good
country singer. I've never been a huge fan, but I
like some of the songs. I'm now a huge fan
because he stood up to this and he didn't let
them cancel him and he's gonna end up being bigger
because of it. And c MT canceled his video because
they said, well, they just bad. They didn't say anything.
(28:26):
They just bowed to the pressure. But and I saw something.
Uh uh, Luke Brian said, pull my videos off of
c MT two in support of Jason Aldeen, which will
good for him.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
They great up about an hour apart from me.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Oh there they are right.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, he's from Jason from Making and Luke Brian from
up there around opening somewhere.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
North of Albany, Butler in that area.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I met. I met Luke Brian's daddy on a plantation.
We were up there a farm we were bear working security
for when I was meeting the manager and he came
in and goes. Luke Bryce's daddy went good. For him,
you know, the right down the road. Yeah. So the
uh so, the point is is they're saying that now.
I think it's unfortunate that somebody didn't do some sight
(29:15):
research up there and they found a way. You know,
it's a controversial thing, and it's not the song that controversial.
The lyrics aren't controversial. The Hank Williams Junior, Yeah, Hank
william boy, cancer boy can survive.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
He talks about he talks about spitting back in his
lot guy that killed his buddy, and.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, I lot this bitch and beats nothing that dude
it and shoot him with my old forty five because
the country boy can survive. Okay, there's other there's song
after song after song about you know, don't bring that
out here. Don't come here a small town, small town,
small town. And the fact is that the philosophy behind
it is simple. You can do that in a big
city because all the big city is run by liberal
(29:55):
folks and they allow it to happen. But don't bring
that to a small town. I can tell you it
ain't gonna be tolerated in Marianna, Florida. It ain't gonna
be tolerated in Sneeze a grand Ridge or Cottondale, or
probably not both. In Alabama, in the outskirts or any
of the small towns around there.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Ain't a lot of it gonna be talent. They're gonna
be tolerated. In the bigger city of Tallahassee or Jacksonville
or Pensacola, or.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
In Tallahassee, you'd get away with more of it here,
but not not like they can in Seattle places like that,
because even people who lean to the left aren't gonna
put up with a whole not not when the flag
waving and the yelling turns into violence at that point
in time, it will not be tolerated, even in Tallahassee.
That's correct, and that's been very clear, and not only
(30:38):
from city and county law enforcement officials but from the governor.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Well, and it's it's you know, the I didn't I
saw the video. Video is a video, and it's got
clips of people setting stuff on fire, jumping up and
down on the cars, whatever, and you you are not
going to get away with that in the last, huge,
expensive majority of the country. There's probably five or six
(31:05):
cities in the United States where you're going to get
away with that without answering for it.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Well, and so the whole from somebody, this whole try
it in a small thing. And they're saying, well, it's racist, Well,
antifa's predominantly white folks. And Antifa was the cause of
a lot of that stuff. Sure BLM, you know, yes,
there was some of that, but in blocking traffic and
doing things like that, and there was some violence involved
in that. But Antifa's where a lot of that comes from.
And that's not that's not a minority run organization necessarily.
(31:34):
That's got people from all walks of life. And it's
not just that. I mean you look at the people
who are going in and looting stores now and all
the shoplifting and stuff that's going on. Yeah, and the
and I mean, if you look at the lyrics, it's
now granted the footage was from those riots, okay, and
those riots are wrong. Riots are wrong, Protests are fine,
and we allow people to say what's on their mind.
(31:55):
We don't tell people you can't say that. I mean,
I don't agree with the flag you'reave, but I don't
agree with the things you're saying. But I'm not going
to run out and shoot you because I don't agree
with you. You'll be involved in I'm on it. But
if you try to get in my car, hurt my family,
come in my house, come on a business. Somebody walked in.
What would happen if somebody walked in the front door
his gun store, the baseball bat and started smashing things.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
They'd probably get shot a lot.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
They'd probably get shot a whole bunch, because everybody this
place has got a gun on, you know, and it's
not and I don't care if he's white, black, Hispanic,
you know what, whatever else is out there, Asian. You know.
The thing is is we have all those people working here.
You know, it's it's you know, I know a very
I know a Korean that will shoot your rear end
that comes in here all the time. Yeah, you know so,
(32:34):
I mean it sucker punched somebody on a sidewalk. Yeah,
we'll fight back on that carjacking Old lady at a
red light. Listen.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I got old Lady trained eighty.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
I trained the eighty three year old woman the other
night or the other afternoon in Dothan who came in
and she had her brand new Smith and Wesson Easy nine.
I wanted training that day. I stuck around a late
to help her. And I won't say she's an old lady,
but she's eighty three years old. And she came in
and she got training for two hours with me, and
she wanted to know how to run it. She wanted
(33:02):
to know what what the law said. She want to understand.
She says, listen, So if somebody follows me in my
car on my bumper for fifteen miles and they were
to run me off the road, and I see them
walking up to my car, you know, looking angry, coming
after me, what could I do? I said, at that point,
if they tried to get in your car, they've already
(33:23):
they're guilty of aggravated assault, aggravating you know, aggravated battery
with a deadly weapon. And they're coming up to your car,
they're coming in here, you shoot them. And she says,
that's what I wanted to know. That So you she says,
if it's a carjacking, Kennon, And that's exactly a line
in that song. And that's exactly why she went and
got training. So I'm telling you right now, it might
look like a little old lady because she was small.
She had small hands trying to hold that gun. But
(33:46):
I tell you what, by the end of it, I
wouldn't want her shooting at me. And now she knows
when she can do it. And that's what train is for.
So cuss out of copspit in his face, you know.
You know that's that's battery. That's a pelony, battery on
a law enforcement officer. You know you're gonna get arrested
for that. Around here. Pull a gun on the owner
of a liquor store, Well, I bet you if you
walk right around the corner here and pull a gun
(34:06):
on Sam that that is the happy time liquor store
or whatever around the corner. I wouldn't. I put this way,
I wouldn't pull a gun on Sam Okay. And he's
an Indian fella, you know. And I'm just telling you
in this day and age, you tell me if I'm lying.
The number of people from the minority community in our
(34:29):
area at our Tallahassee Range particularly has grown over the
time we've been here, apportionate to the number of white
folks coming for training and buying guns.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Absolutely absolutely, And I applauded with full full effort. I
mean it's just it's it is truly, you know, A
wonderful thing that there, that they feel comfortable enough to
come here to get training, to practice their craft and
to carry and I mean, you know, Carrie gun to
(35:02):
defend themselves.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
So here's the thing is, are there racist lyrics that
are clearly clearly racist in rap music? Clearly and anti
ky tons of them? Yes, okay, are we trying to
can com We don't like it.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I don't like like it, don't.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
I'm not trying to cancel. I just want to listen
to it. They put videos out there and they do
things I don't. I just look at it and I
shake my head and they go in I hate people
think like that, and that's promoting that. Well, how many
of those versus how many of these? And granted, you know,
I get it. There was a history in our country
of stuff like that in there. You don't want to
listen to Johnny Paycheck's live albums and with Thin Skin.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Or David allen Coe or a whole bunch of others.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Yeah, David allen Coe would be you would a liberal's
head would explode.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah, so they would. And it's but we can't do
anything about that. I can't. I can't change any of that.
I can't change any of those. So I don't know
why the other side of this, the people that are
out there on ABC and CBC, NBC, all the all
the the left leaning media, don't listen to it, don't
(36:19):
watch it. It's simple if it offends you that much.
But they have absolutely lost their mind over this, and
I can't figure out the why.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
I just can't.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
One of America's anthems after post post nine to eleven
was Toby Keith, you know, I'll put a boot in
your system. It's the American way. Yeah, that's a country
that's just saying. Everybody was yeah, yeah, beer from my horses. Yeah,
hang them high in the street. There you go, We'll
be right back and we're back. Well, we tried to
(36:56):
get Faull on there, tried twice and just week.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
We can hear him, we can talk to him, but
it's it's just getting out.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Y'all trying to figure out what he was saying. So
what what was he telling us?
Speaker 3 (37:08):
He was saying that the bass the last few days
had been tearing it up, and he's catching some crappy
as well. But uh, early and late as per normal
this time of year. Top water early in the morning.
Been catching him on top water, been catching some big ones.
Uh and uh, just you know he's he's cooling it
in the middle of the day though, like everybody else
(37:29):
ought to be. And if you're gonna do something, if
you're gonna go fishing, you want to be out there
really early and watch the sun come up. That's worth
getting up for in and of itself.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
So Jdi had to get in contact with Paul. If
I want to go fishing with him.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Uh, well, you can call him at eight five o
two six four seven five three four Captain Paul Tire
Fishing Adventures, Uh, Yahoo dot com and all that good stuff.
He's a he's easy to find.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
There you go. Sorry, sorry we missed Paul. Just to
get we got a new studio. We've been trying to
muddle through some stuff and this system where just the
Paul Tire segment fishing segment is especially problematic.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Over the phone anyway, he's here, it works good.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Oh yeah, when he's here, it's fantastic. We just push
a button for that microphone.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Over and I like it when he comes in here
because he usually leaves with a new TFO rod when
he comes in, so it's kind of a you know,
we trap him and get him to the store here
to sell him a fishing pole.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Anyway, all right, well yeah, ah man, I tell you what.
I tell you what hear that today, I tell you what.
So now I don't have anything to talk about in
the last segment because I was expecting to hear something
from Paul and that would spur some.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Thoughts when this show airs. Amanda Is her birthday is today, Saturday,
the twenty second. Well, happy birthday to her sixteen years old.
So y'all keep us all in your prayers, and keep
yourself in your prayers. If you're driving around northeast Tallahasse.
It's about all words. She's going to be driving any now.
(38:56):
She drives really good. She hopefully and hopefully that I'll
continue and you when she's in the car by herself.
But uh, it's hard hard to believe. I got a
Tallahassee traffic that that that that child is turning sixteen
this weekend.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
So but uh, Jesse.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
My fifteen year old, she'll be sixteen after the first
of year, and I'll be glad because then she can
start driving all the kids to school in the morning.
And I don't have to do it. But poor poor thing,
if you put her in Tallahassee traffic, she los traffic
about like I do.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Amanda's been driving a lot, and we've had her in
a couple of the we did that Sheriff's Office driving
school that the Sheriff's Office puts on, and uh so
we're trying to get her as much training as we can.
So we don't just unleash unleas your unleas you're on
the public.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
You know, if I lived in Tallahassee, I'd be teaching
Jesse to pit maneuver. All right, so you're late for school,
here's what you do. You just you just you ease
that right, you pace, you match, and then you quarter turn.
Just put up next to rubens racing. You pull up
next to them, You paste your front bumper or their
(40:03):
their rear bumper on this side, and then you just
ease over and touch them. As soon as you touch him,
you just quarter turn steer towards them and then just
drive straight to everything. Be fine. That's your whole pit maneuver,
right there. Ain't that right?
Speaker 2 (40:14):
That's right there?
Speaker 1 (40:15):
You go. That's how to pitch somebody. You would like
to keep your speeds lower than you know, eighty miles
an hour, because you can kill somebody doing it, cause
a flip at low speeds. It's perfectly safe.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
It just it is.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
It just costs.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
You and I have both been on the receiving and
the giving end to that during during training stuff.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. I don't think that the
child's parking lot is probably the best place to do it,
or Lincoln or any of you know, God, but it
can be done well. If we didn't want about the
pitt maneuver, when we were driving golf carts all over
FSU campus, we'd have been I bet you can't put me,
I bet you can't run me sideways, and I'll.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Bet get out there on the wet grass. You probably
make that thing do a couple of three sixties with
the golf car.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Well, I'm the idiot and on on bike patrol and
we ride mountain bikes. I had to ease up and
touch my tire to the back tire whoever's in front
of me, just to freak them out. You know, juvenile.
Back in the day, it wasn't always mature and level
headed the.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Way we've got.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
The Internal Affairs Investigator would call that a random sophomoric behavior.
I've been accused of random sophomoric behavior at times.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's steady freshman behavior.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
Oh man, but yeah it's uh, I tell you it's
a world keeps. I got one more year of taking
my youngest one to middle school, and then she'll be
in high school. And when they're both in the same
high school for one year, so uh, I'll get the
one cause oh when that littland gets a high old boy,
oh the world. The world ain't ready for her yet.
(41:50):
I don't think she Uh that is one sassy child.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Where on earth does she get that from?
Speaker 3 (41:58):
I don't, no, you know, I completely understand Tater's behavior.
Uh I do, I get it completely. That's a that's
a that's a four, that's a that's a me and
a thirteen year old girl right there.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
But uh well, Annie ain't exactly you know.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Yeah, Annie's not in timidy that I.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Don't want any man because she scares me a little bit.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
So she scares me a lot. I live with her.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
Uh So I watched my step but uh no, it's
uh the I tell you Amanda's uh that, I tell
you what Amanda's summer job has been so far.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
Tell them.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
So, Travis Russell opened a store here in our building,
and he's doing law enforcement supply stuff and uniform sales
and so forth and so on. So he got about,
I think it was like four hundred shirts or three
hundred shirts for an agency here, and she was going
to be sewing the patches on the sleeves and doing
the epulets and the buttonholes and all this other stuff
(42:57):
to these shirts to finish them out well, and behold,
the uniform company has a fancy laser machine that does
the shirts the patches on the shirt, so she didn't
have to do the patches. But she's doing all the
uplets and the stuff, so she sews. She actually makes Amanda's,
the sixteen year old, actually makes her own clothes and
(43:19):
wears them to school and wears them in public. She
makes her own dresses and makes her own stuff. She's
a very very talented seamstress at sixteen now, she's been
sewing since she was ten. My mom has taught all
the girl children how to sew, and.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Well, she's been looking like a scholarships and stuff behind
some of the stuff.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, I mean for costume design and
that kind of stuff. She's got an incredible mind and
imagination and she can actually.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Job designer for Jason Aldines next to the music video.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Yeah, there you go. But that's not a bad idea, Charlie.
But anyway, so I'm super proud of her, and I
wish her all the best and just you know, she's
she's got a bright future ahead of her.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
So good.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Anyway, it's a I tell you, we have had one
heck of a busy week at at work this week.
Speaker 3 (44:16):
It's just been one thing after another. And with the
gunsmith and business and all that stuff, it's it's been ononerful.
We've had some really neat guns. I briefly touched on
in between the segments, getting to go look at a
Civil War and absolutely most likely fired in anger during
the Civil War rifle. And we get to see some
(44:38):
of the coolest things. We get stuff coming in here
that's you know, historical. Got a guy who's going to
be bringing some more of his he's liquidating a World
War two collection. I think he's supposed to be bringing
in five different manufacturer in one car beings very soon.
I don't know when they're going to get here, but
we're getting there. Were I want to say it was
(45:03):
at least eight, maybe even twelve different companies during World
War Two that manufactured the M one car being, none
of which well I say none of which, one of
which was a gun company the went Winchester. But there
were a whole bunch of them that were that made
car parks and tractors and juke boxes and sewing machines
(45:27):
and business machines as in typewriters and those kinds of things.
IBM was one of the manufacturers. Rockola, the jukebox company
manufactured in one car beings during World War two, the
International Postal Meter that made the little locks, little lot
works and the mechanisms on the on the post office
(45:48):
boxes and things involving the postal industry. All of these
companies during World War two came together to manufacture firearms
for our military. And so just you can have guys
that are M one car being collectors and that's all
they do is seek those rare rare some of them
(46:12):
are more rare than others. But we've got some of
those coming in so we get to see some cool stuff,
I mean some really cool stuff.
Speaker 1 (46:20):
So for the people that don't know. The N one
car beings were used in which wars World War two
in Korea, primarily they were different versions of those.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
There was well, there was an M one originally with
a bunch of different manufacturers. They made updates and changes.
There was a paratrooper model with a folding side folding wirestock.
Only one company made those, so it was I believe
Underwood that made it. Was either Inland or Underwood. I
think it was Underwood that made all the paratroopers. So
(46:51):
if you ever see like an International postal meter with
a folding side stock on it that ain't dead on match,
that wasn't not original. There were several different companies that
made the M one garans the main battle rifles. So
you can get into this stuff and really get into
it and learn a lot of history by it. And
then they up through the Korean War. During the Korean
(47:14):
War they put this little happy switch on one side
of it and uh, it was fully automatic. It went
to a turned it into a submachine gun basically during
that war. So it's been around.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
So if anybody's every wondering if JD knows about guns,
this was just a perfect example and it gets way
deeper than that anyway. All right, well, let's go wind
us up for the week and talk to y'all next time.
Speaker 2 (47:37):
Bye.
