Drinks. Plural. Got it. Yeah. That's how we roll.
Oh man. Alright what's today's topic?
What are we talking about today? What's the fun stuff? What are we doing? I had an observation.

(02:25):
What do you got? You have a new hat. I have a new hat?
I do. You do. Like I'm used to your, like you have a couple of hats.
But you have a new one lately. I do.
It's such a cool hat man. You know that lady Tara Hall's Apple?
That lady. I do. I have a hat that she made too.
I have one too.

(02:49):
She's my favorite mad hatter. I call her that too.
I love her so much. She's so cool.
And Kirby's got two. Now you have two right?
Travis? Dude I'm not going to lie. I wear a lot of hats. You do.
You know like when I go to work every day I don't wear my
cowboy hat. I wear a baseball hat. Have you ever seen

(03:13):
a baseball hat? We're going to have to post some photos here of Travis
in all manner of hats. If I wore my cowboy hat
to work that would be weird. Like I have students. I teach
people how to climb and rescue each other off of towers and high angle
rescue rope access stuff like that. Not cowboy hat material?
I gotta wear a helmet. That's my other hat. That's my third hat.

(03:37):
Your hard hat. A helmet. Or a hard hat if you will.
I'm a freaking blue collar dude.
That's the way it works.
So songs about hats dude.
Eric? Yes? Sound guy?
What are you doing? Hi. Let's do a song about

(04:01):
hats and then I want to hear the story behind your
tear holes apple hats. Yeah dude. They're unique.
Both of your hats are very unique. And there's stories behind all of them.
So we live out in the sticks.
We have a lot of rattlesnakes out there. I've gotten two so far.

(04:21):
This year. Wow. We give them to Tara for hat bans?
Yeah. Fantastic. It's kind of awkward at the salon
when I have to put a frozen snake in the freezer and tell people don't open
that bag. And don't go in there there's a snake in there. And then I give a tour at
White's and Brew's. Is that when Bruce Shue is the dog was freaking out
about your bag? Yes. He opens up this little

(04:45):
concoction she's made to preserve it. Plops it in. Puts it in a little igloo bag
under her chair. And takes it home with her.
Michael Goodrich got one the other day too. Got a big one.
Probably like about a four or five foot rattlesnake.
I keep asking when's the barbecue?
Well the first one that we got

(05:09):
we picked it. Have you ever eaten snake before? I have.
The second one was too little. It was a baby. Yeah. But
the bigger ones. I mean a lot of people will fry it up
it almost tastes, of course I'm going to say it tastes like alligator. It tastes like alligator?
What does alligator taste like? You've had alligator. Get out of here. It all tastes like
chicken. I'm pretty sure it all tastes like chicken. I didn't think it tastes like alligator.

(05:33):
I've had alligator. Yeah. Well I think it's the preparation too right?
Because we had gator nuggets. It was like gator nuggets. Yeah. The tail.
Gator nuggets. Deep fried yeah.
Poor gators. Yeah. Awesome. Now let's listen to a song about hats
and then I want to hear the story because you've got one hat with a playing
card and feathers and all of that. There's stories behind

(05:57):
each of these hats. Can I ask a question? So you give Tara the whole snake.
Yep. And then Tara skins it? Yeah. So no
the first one that I did. I got about a six foot long rattlesnake
it had about eight buttons, nine buttons on it and I actually
cleaned it and skinned it myself. Then I gave it to Tara. But then because it was already
skinned Tara said that obviously just the nature of it I had to put it

(06:21):
in a bag so I had to fold it up. It kind of some of it stuck together. So just to bring her
the whole snake next time. So I put the baby snake in our freezer and brought her a whole little snake.
What does Tara like sit in her kitchen? I don't know.
In my imagination she does. She's like on a rocking chair like a wood
whittler. I'm telling you she's my favorite Manhattan dude.
I love that lady.

(06:45):
What are the odds of getting Tara to just come in here and explain the whole damn thing?
I'm going to make a phone call. Yeah she only lives like that. I know. I'm going to make a phone call right now. She lives right down the road from you all.
Yep. I'm going to make a phone call. Alright let's listen to a
song that's called Tur. Let's see if she'll show up. That would be rad.
And then she can explain what she does when you hand her a snake.
A snake. Snake in a bag. Fuck sake. I said tell me you're from

(07:09):
Ramona without telling me you're from Ramona. It's a snake.
You meet at the local pub to hear her snake carcasses.
I'm going to meet Tara as she's at the bar. I'm going to just give her
a snake real quick. On ice. On a
Monday. On a Monday. That's rad.
What's the first hat song? Dude. Chris LaDue. Oh I like Chris LaDue.

(07:33):
Dude that's a good ass song. Which song is it? Which one do you want? This whole cowboy hat.
Okay. And then I found a John Partey song cowboy hat. Oh that sounds good.
So let's go there. Let's do two of those while I make a phone call. We'll get a couple songs and we'll see if we can't get Tara to
call. I got it. I got it. I got speed dialed dude. Sweet.

(08:15):
I got speed dialed dude.

(08:45):
Oh hey.
We should have just stayed in.
Left that truck in the drive. The way you look in now.
Gonna be up all night. Love how you cool it
down. Oh those angel eyes. Baby keep on
driving me wild. When you're dancing round the

(09:09):
bedroom. Moonlight through the window. Country
on the radio. Silhouette beautiful.
Come a little closer. Give me some of that baby.
You look so good in nothing but my cowboy
hat. Yeah.
Can't resist you.

(09:45):
And that resist all. That's one thing you don't have to take on.
When you're dancing round the bedroom.
Moonlight through the window. Country on the radio.
Silhouette beautiful. Come a little closer.
Give me some of that baby. You look so

(10:09):
good in nothing but my cowboy hat.
Nothing but my cowboy hat.
So
come a little closer. Give me some of that
baby. You look so good in nothing but my
cowboy hat. Nothing

(10:33):
but my cowboy hat. Yeah.
Keep on dancing.
Music

(11:01):
There's always been groups of people that never could see eye to eye.
But I always thought if they ever had a chance to sit down and talk face to face they might
realize they got a lot in common.
Music

(11:23):
Well I was sitting in a coffee shop just having a cup to pass the time.
Swapping rodeo stories with this old cowboy friend of mine.
When some motorcycle riders started
snickering in the back.
I started poking fun at my friend's hat.
One old boy said, hey Tex, where'd you

(11:47):
park your horse? A friend just pulled his hat down
low but they couldn't be ignored.
One husky fella said I think I'll rip that hat right off your head.
That's when my friend turned around and this is what he said.
Music
You ride a black tornado

(12:09):
across the western sky. Rope an old blue
norther and pick it to his drive.
Bulldog in Mississippi,
Phoenix is down flat long before you take this cowboy's
hat.
This old hat's better left alone.

(12:33):
See it used to be my daddy's but last year
he passed on. My nephew skinned the rattler that makes
up this old hat band but back in 69
he died in Vietnam.
Now the eagle feather was given to me by an Indian friend of mine.
But someone ran him down somewhere

(12:57):
around that Arizona line. And a real
special lady gave me this hat pin.
But I don't know if I'll ever see her again.
Music
You ride a black tornado across the western
sky. Rope an old blue norther

(13:19):
and pick it to his drive. Bulldog
in Mississippi, Phoenix is down flat
long before you take this cowboy's
hat. Now if your leather jacket
means to you what this hat means to me
then I guess we understand each other and we'll just let it be.

(13:43):
But if you still think it's funny
man you got my back up against the wall and if you touch my hat
you're gonna have to fight us all.
Well right then I caught a little sadness in that gang leader's
eyes. And he turned back to the others
and they all just kind of shuffled on outside.

(14:07):
But when my friend turned back towards me I noticed his old hat
brim. Well it was turned up in a big old Texas
green. You ride a black
tornado across the western sky.
Rope an old blue norther and pick it to
his drive. Bulldog in Mississippi

(14:31):
Phoenix is down flat
long before you take this cowboy's hat.

Alright.
Y'all are not gonna believe this. What just happened right now?
We were just talking about Tara. And here
she is.

(15:19):
Tara Hall Zappel how are you? I'm good how are you? Oh my god I can't believe you're here. That's so cool.
Man. Like you said I'm super close so it was super
I know you live across the street right? Yeah pretty much. Call them and they
will come. We called her and she's like here. She showed up. We talked about hats and
here I am. Oh my god dude that's so cool. Yeah did your like Spidey son
start tingling? Yes absolutely it did. I knew for sure. Welcome to

(15:43):
the Travis Bailey Ross Outlaw Country Show. Thank you for having me. I'm so glad that you're
here. Thank you. Good to see you. You too. Alright so tell me a little bit about
so before I say anything I just want to tell you I love you to death
and you are my favorite mad hatter. Well thank you. I hope that doesn't offend you.
No especially because I think I'm the only mad hatter you know so
I take that with quite pride.

(16:07):
Oh so you've made a hat for me. Yes. You actually
didn't make a hat for me. You doctored my hat. I did. The one that I
actually wear all the time. Yes you gave me your nasty old
hat and said run with it. So sorry about that.
And she did make it beautiful. She did man she killed it. You
put a snake skin around it. Is that a turkey feather? Yes

(16:31):
Ramona turkey feather. And then the cards I love that.
I like how you put me as the king of hearts.
Well Kirby has the queen of hearts on her hat.
So you had to have King. So how did you start making
hats? Was that like always a hobby or? No. Adam
my husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas a couple years ago and I had started

(16:55):
seeing people like doing cool hats and I was like I think I could do that for myself.
So I said buy me some hats because I want to decorate some. So he bought
me like five hats that Christmas and I decorated them and I posted them just as
like hey look at this is fun. I did it for myself. People are like oh my gosh
is that what you do? And I'm like no I have a real job. This is just fun for myself.

(17:15):
I kept getting asked over and over again and I finally had somebody say like hey
I want you to make me a hat. Like what's it going to take? That's so cool. And so
I was like okay. And so I made her two hats and then it just kind of
has snowballed from there. Wow. That's so cool.
I've seen you do your shows. You know your
booths. They set up. Man you got a lot of hats.

(17:39):
That's a lot of work. I do. That's where I got my first whole Zappel hat.
The rusted poppy. The first time she had me out there.
But here's what's cool. I'm waiting. I have a second hat.
But here's what's cool. So you can go to the hat bar and make a hat and everything's
there or you can take things that you have that are personal
to you and give them to Tara and she makes beautiful hats. That's my absolute favorite.

(18:03):
Because then it's I mean they're all one of a kind but when it's like you're
given someone's personal treasures like whether they're their
own or they're from heirlooms from grandparents and parents and stuff then it's even more
personal because never ever can that hat ever be recreated.
That's my ultimate favorite. That's really cool. It takes something that you just have sitting around in your jewelry
box or something that never gets used and then all of a sudden

(18:27):
it's you know has new life and it gets worn and it gets seen and it tells a story.
So every time you wear it somebody asks you about it and you get to talk about that.
So that's the best. People ask me all the time like what is what's with the
like explain your hat like I
gave it to Tara and she made it amazing. I love it.
Yep it's fun. Very cool. It's my fun creative outlet.

(18:51):
Yeah it's been a lot of fun. So one of the things on my hat is this
rattlesnake skin that you put around it. Like where did
this one come from? The one that's on my hat. That one we were on our
way to golf practice one day and it had just gotten run over.
Had his head just run over and was dead on the side of the road.
That's a perfect spot. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.

(19:15):
And we were driving past and I was trying to tell Adam I want that snake.
He's like we gotta go to golf practice. What? We couldn't stop.
So little did I know he texted his best friend Wayne and was like
dude we just passed this snake. Tara really wants it. So Wayne went and picked it up
and cut the head off for me and put it in the fridge and then he
brought it later on and that was the first one I skinned.

(19:39):
Ever. Van my youngest he sat out under the tree
and watched and so yeah.
So I've skinned a few snakes in my life because I live in South
Carolina. Alright I was like 12, 13 something like that.
A South Carolina snake is a black snake. Right.
Long. Big snake and it got ran over. So I like

(20:03):
I remember coming home from school and I saw the snake
on the side of the road about a mile from my house and I was like
dang I'm gonna pick that up. So I went home
and then I got on my bicycle and I rode down the road and I
grabbed the snake and it was literally like six feet. Huge snake.
And I rode home on my bicycle with the snake in my hand and I was like alright what am I gonna do with this snake?

(20:27):
You didn't bring like anything to put it in? No I just went and picked it up.
I was like 13 dude. Well you thought enough to go get your bike to go back and get it. I wanted to go
get it. I picked it up. I brought it home and I skinned it. So I had a
I didn't know how to skin stuff. Like there was no YouTube back then.
I just figured it out. So I think you slice it down the middle and
then you kind of peel the skin off. I did that and then I put it on my

(20:51):
I had a basketball goal. Playing basketball. Oh to dry out? Yeah and I put it on the post.
So my basketball goal post was a snake.
Nice.
Alright so I'm not into killing animals and snakes.
I love snakes right? Yeah. But I can't have them around
my property because I have animals and dogs and chickens

(21:15):
and goats stuff. So it doesn't hurt my feelings to kill them.
Well then we repurpose them by giving them terror.
So something beautiful gets made. So a while back I gave you a very
very big rattlesnake. How many buttons are on that thing? Like eight?
Yeah that one was a pretty big one. I mean it's the rattles were about
that big. Yeah but so that's about what three beer cans?

(21:39):
That was the first time I'd seen anyone
skin a snake. But the skinning it was not
the awful part. We shot it. It died.
But it like stays alive. It just kept moving.
It was wild. Even after we cut the head completely off we had it on a tree stump
and it literally wriggled off the tree stump. Yeah.

(22:03):
I was doing that and there was like crows like up
in the trees ready to yeah they were like watching it.
I'm like come on I gotta save this for Tara.
Oh man. Now is artistry
like what you do? Is this like something you've been doing for a long time?
No I have a creative side so I've done like

(22:27):
various things on and off with it. I work for
school districts so this is I don't have a creative
job at all. I have a very organized set
schedule job so that's Hats is my creative outlet.
But I like to make things. I draw. I don't like painting.
That's not fun for me but you know

(22:51):
creating things with my hands is something I've always enjoyed doing.
It's taken various things. I've sewed. I've built things with wood.
I do all various things but yeah. Hats is
the first one that's really taken off as something that has
paid for itself. Sure. Yeah. I'm telling you I love your
hats. They're freaking amazing. Is the goal to do that as your main gig or do you

(23:15):
like having both? No I like having both because there's not pressure to
like I don't have to be doing hats all the time like I gotta make
bills. I gotta you know all that stuff and I and I do I love the team that I work with for
my job. My job's fairly easy
no brainer and I'm on a teacher's calendar like I'm off for the summer
so I'm off until the beginning of August. Wait what?

(23:39):
Dang I wish I had that too.
I have all the holidays off. I make my own calendar so when
band's out of school I don't work those days. That's so cool. I'm home by
two every day so I can't really complain and I have great benefits so. Very cool.
She's gonna join the summer carny circuit. Yeah. Yeah. She could do it now.
So you're gonna be on the show quite often now right?

(24:03):
I mean you live right down the road. I do live right down the road.
So anytime. I can't even believe you're here right now. This is so cool. You showed
up. That's so freaking cool. I'm off for the summer.
It's awesome man. Awesome. Alright so music. Let's talk about music.
You like country music yes? I do. I like how I like
pretty much most music. What's your favorite genre of music?

(24:27):
Old blues. Blues. Okay. I like

But the old blues and old jazz is like.

(24:51):

my favorite blues. Jimi Hendrix. Yeah no I'm going to like
older southern blues. Older than that? Okay. Yeah. Like I like T Bone Walker, Johnny Lee
Walker. Yeah. Best concert I ever went to was I got to see BB King.
Oh cool. I went to BB King's club in
Tennessee. Nice. Yeah. I got to see him at the House of Blues at Banana

(25:15):
Heim. Yeah. He played in a chair with Lucille for like three and a half
hours. He was so amazing. Told stories and played songs and it was like
you were sitting in his living room with him. Oh that's cool. Yeah. Did you ever see him
break a string? Like he broke a string and he replaced the string
while telling a story. Like it was crazy. That's amazing. To watch. I know.
He did it right too. Like he put the string into the headstock and then he spun it

(25:39):
around and then he placed it in. I'm like how the hell did you do that?
It takes me like a day to change my strings.
And he did it right there on the spot. I was like wow. And blues
Stevie Ray Vaughan. Yeah. Yeah. Some.
He did the same thing right. So he was playing at a
venue or whatever and he broke a string. And then mid song

(26:03):
they had somebody come out and replace his guitar and he just kept it going.
It was so freaking cool. That was cool. Loved it. It was so great. Dedicated to the
craft. Yeah. Yeah. Heck yeah. Let's play a little BB King. Yeah let's play some BB King.
Heck yeah. What's wrong with BB King? Nothing.
You're going to have to ask her that 10 day on an island thing and see
if she's going to hang out with BB King. We'll find out later. Oh would that be

(26:27):
BB King?

(26:57):

(29:31):
There's an Elvis movie on the marquee sign
We've all seen at least three times
Everybody's broke, Bobby's got a buck
He put a dollar's worth of gas in his pickup truck

(29:53):
We're going 90 miles an hour down a dead end road
What's a hurry son, where you gonna go
We're gonna holler at the moon, shoot out the light
It's a small town Saturday night

(30:19):
Lucy's got lipstick on a little too bright
Bobby's getting drunk and looking for a fight
Liquor on his breath, trouble on his mind
Well Lucy's just a kid along for the ride
Got a six pack of beer and a bottle of wine

(30:43):
Gotta be bad just to have a good time
They're gonna holler at the moon, shoot out the light

(31:09):
Bobby told Lucy the world ain't round
It's growing out and running around
Drops off sharp at the edge of the town
Lucy you know the world must be flat

(31:31):
Cause when people leave town they never come back
They go 90 miles an hour till the city limits sign

(32:09):
Neon lights draw me like a monster flame.
Mama raised me right, that just leaves me to blame.

(32:34):
When I get a little sideways on the honky tonk chair,
I'm old enough to know better, but I'm still too young to care.
Cowgirls with band-aid and two boots and tight blue jeans
take my mind off doing right and doing other things.

(32:59):
When the weekend's gone, I won't have a dime to spare.
Monday morning I wake up with a hammer in my hand.
The boss man yelling something at me that I don't understand.

(33:24):
I don't know how I got to work, but I'll sure know I'm there.

(33:58):
When the eagle flies on Friday, well he barely leaves the ground.
I've got just enough left to get dressed up and head back to town.
The boss says son, having all that fun won't get you anywhere.

(34:22):
Monday morning I wake up with a hammer in my hand.
The boss man yelling something at me that I don't understand.
I don't know how I got to work, but I'll sure know I'm there.

(34:47):

(35:17):
Alright, are we back?

(35:38):
We're back!
Okay, man we have my favorite Mad Hatter with us today, Tara Hall's Apple.
Hey, hey.
What's happening, man?
So cool.
So freaking cool to have you here.
Thank you.
I just want you to know, I mean, you should feel pretty special.
I don't think Travis has acted like this over any guest yet.
I'm telling you, you're like, so cool that you just showed up.

(36:03):
He's a little giddy.
I'm a little drunk right now, I'm not going to lie.
Oh dude, speaking about creativity and all that stuff.
Sweet Curbs, how's your tattoo doing?
Good.
Is it all healed up?
It's a little crusty still, but it's looking good.
Eric?
I have no idea.

(36:24):
I can't see it.
I saw it, it looks good.
I can't believe we did that, dude.
How's your prison tattoo, babe?
Well, it looks like I've been in prison for a couple years.
Just got out.
Just got sprung from the joint.
No, honestly, Sweet Curbs, you did a good job on that.

(36:45):
You did pretty good.
You're sweet, thank you.
You know, it looks...
Go check out the pictures, you guys.
It looks prison-y.
It definitely looks prison-y.
All right, Tara.
Yes.
Where do you want to tattoo?
No, I'm just kidding.

(37:07):
We don't have the gun, don't worry yourself.
I don't have the tattoo gun with me, but if I did, what would you want?
Tattoo.
A holy apple.
You have a couple tattoos, yeah?
I have one.
I have my kids' birth dates in hearts.
Oh, okay.
But right now, that's my only one.
So my next one is a Holes Apple.
It's an apple with holes in it on a tree branch.

(37:28):
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So...
Man, what a cool ass name, Holes Apple.
I know.
Right?
Yeah, I married into and got the coolest last name.
You married into a cool ass name.
How's Adam doing?
How's he doing?
He's good.
He's a cool dude.
I love that guy.
Yeah, me too.
Heck yeah.
What does Tracy Winesapple call him?
He's all right.
Everything but Lover Man.

(37:49):
You know what's so funny, Tracy?
Everything but Lover Man because that's my nickname for him.
And then she's just kind of run with it, so she never calls him Adam.
That's cool.
Tracy Winesapple and Holes Apple.
I know.
When I first met you and I was like, OK, how am I going to separate this Winesapple,
Holes Apple, right?
I know.
It's just Winesapple.

(38:10):
You're so funny.
Just mesh us.
Tracy's cool.
Maybe we should call her up.
What does she do?
The last time you made a phone call, they magically showed up in 20 minutes.
I know, right?
Maybe.
I think Tracy's on a plane right now.
Oh, she's out of town.
Yeah.
Dude, I watch her on her live episodes that she does with the painting.
It's incredible.
And I always comment on it.
She always responds.
She's like, Travis Billy Ross, I'm so excited.

(38:32):
Travis Billy Ross, how are you?
I'm like, yeah.
I got a shout out.
You're so funny.
She always has a lot of views.
Yeah, she's pretty talented.
Yeah, we're going to have to have her on the show soon at some point.
OK, boss.
Yeah.
Eric, come on.
Oh, dude.

(38:56):
All right, so do you get unusual requests, like anything fascinating, like anything you
sit back and you had like go home and tell the family or like, OK, you're not going to
believe what I just was asked to do.
Anything yet?
No, no, no, no.
She doesn't do baseball hats, though.
I don't do baseball hats.
Oh, no?
Except some people.
What?
Yeah.

(39:17):
How come you don't do baseball hats?
Not really fun.
Because of what I do, I don't understand how you would attach like the stuff that I do.
Like embellish it.
Yeah, how you embellish it.
Have you ever seen a rattlesnake skin on a baseball hat?
I've never seen that.
No, and I'm not really into I'm not huge into like patches.
And I'll use them on on my hats if somebody has one that they really want.

(39:40):
But I mean, baseball hats, that's pretty much what you can do is patches.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like asking to paint your living room.
Yeah.
It's like really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is going to be a peach wall right here.
How many hats do you work on?
Like at any given time, does it depend or do you always have a few going?
It kind of depends.
Well, you have one going right now for sweet curbs.

(40:03):
I just finished.
Are you finished?
Yeah, finished it this morning.
Oh, I can't wait to see.
I finished two this morning.
I think I have three in the studio waiting.
I have a pile of hats that are like set aside for people that they picked out like their
base hat and the size.
And then they were like, let me find my things.
So I always have like a bunch that are like waiting for people.

(40:24):
And everyone's mom like, hey, did you actually want me to finish this?
And so cool.
If nobody's ever thought about getting a custom hat designed, it is actually a very cool experience.
It is, dude.
I had a hat.
I had a hat designed for Cassie and to go through the process is actually cool.
And then when you have it to know it's a one of a kind is just a cool thing.

(40:48):
I can't wait.
I gave Tara my dad's mom, my grandma Lene scarf, and then my mom's mom, my grandma Carol, like
costume jewelry, a pearl necklace and I don't know, it's like a diamond kind of pendant.
She did something really cool and put it around the top of the hat.
So the pendant sits like on the front.
I can't I can't wait to wear it.
But yes, having those personal pieces where it's super special to you.

(41:11):
I'm the guy that hope you know that hopefully is the first guy at Tractor Supply to get the first cap.
Like and I get to wear it for three days and go Travis, where did you get your hat?
Tractor Supply this hat right here.
Yeah.
I did actually get that from Tractor Supply.
I don't know, like three years, four years ago.
Travis wears the same hat and when it wears out, he goes back to Tractor Supply and gets the same exact hat.

(41:34):
Yeah, no, I'm not going to do that anymore.
I'm getting a taro.
Yeah, I'm getting a whole sample.
Here's the other thing that's cool about Tara.
We were having a conversation months ago about I don't know what started it, but basically we started talking about this movie.
That's one of my favorite movies.
It's called Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken about this woman that like jumped off horses on like docks into the water.

(41:58):
And she found a card that had this lady free diving with her horse into the water for my hat.
That's cool.
And she like that she remembered and sent me a picture and she's like, oh my gosh, look what I found.
And I saved it for you.
Yeah, that's so cool.
Cool. Very personal.
Right. So we got to know you through the music scene.
Yes.
Primarily.
Yes.
Big music lover.
I am.
I love listening to music.

(42:20):
And then I figured it would be a good way to promote the business.
So I reached out to Catherine Beaks and Ashley Norton and said, hey, if I because I noticed they wore hats a lot and just said, if I make you guys ones at like a can we work a deal?
And so it's kind of how I got my foot in the door with all of the musicians.
And then I've just been slowly making my way through all of you guys, which has been a lot of work.

(42:44):
You are a genius.
Yes.
You are my favorite mad head.
And it amazes me every time I like see one of my hats on stage or something.
And then that to me just trips me out still.
That's cool.
But it's been fun to just kind of work my way through.
You made a hat.
I think it was for Terry from Ramona Ranch Winery.
They're on the news a while back.

(43:06):
Come on, let's go.
And she wore it.
Yeah, she was wearing.
I saw that.
She was.
She said it's her confidence booster.
So she's never feeling a little shy or doesn't have confidence.
She said she puts on her hat.
That's gotta be cool for you to hear.
That's just it blows my mind.
I'm still like TV.
I know.
Yeah, I took pictures of it.
It was crazy.
And then I sent it to everybody.
I was like, oh my God, my hat's on the TV.

(43:27):
It's on the news.
That's awesome, dude.
We should get Terry or Michael.
Come on.
Come sit with us on this.
We do winemakers.
We had Jim Hart on the show.
Whack a do show.
Travis Billy Ross Outlaw Country Show.
Now, here's something I do want to know.
I'm interested in.
And I think Tracy's the one that got you to try it.
You started doing like soldering on your hat.
I don't know if that's the term.
I've done it before.

(43:49):
I just don't.
A lot of people don't know I can.
I do.
So I always have like I have many miniature brands and I have letter alphabet and symbols.
And so those are always out with me.
But I don't when I'm have the hat bar out, I don't always have power.
So I don't have my little soldering gun with me.
Well, it's like a wood burner.
OK, so most people don't know I can unless they get asked.

(44:13):
But yes, Tracy had asked if that was something I could do.
And I said yes.
And because she's an artist who primarily does flowers, I had her draw in her style on her hat.
And then I went back and burned.
Oh, how cool.
Afterwards.
Heck yeah.
Awesome.
Killer.
So it was a collab.
Thea, the band just had a song release the other day.

(44:35):
Yeah.
I saw pictures of the whiskey.
Yes.
Have you seen that whiskey revival?
Yeah.
Yeah.
In the in the font that she did.
So yeah.
All right.
Well, let's play a song.
Let's play some music.
Tara, what do you want to hear?
Like, what's your who's your favorite?
OK, so we ask everyone.
Yeah.
King of country, queen of country, queen of country, Dolly.

(44:57):
OK, Dolly.
Oh, yeah.
Dolly.
King.
King.
Don't you dare say it.
I tell everyone, don't listen.
Say whatever you'd like.
I don't.
Who's your favorite country singer?
Could be new or old.
It doesn't matter.
Like right now, who's your what are you what are you listening to now?
If they were in town for a concert and you're like, I have to go see them.

(45:18):
Who would they be?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I kind of would go to see anybody.
I love going to concerts like I love going to concerts like it's one of my all time favorite
things to do.
And I'll pretty much just go listen to anybody.
So that's why we love you, Tara.
And that's why.
She comes out to the Dirty Confetti shows all the time, man.
As much as I can.
Yeah.

(45:39):
You're so cool.
You're so cool.
Thanks.
I thumb away from L.A. back to Knoxville.
I found out those bright lights ain't where I belong.

(46:07):
From a phone booth in the rain, I called to tell her.
I've had a change of dreams, I'm coming home.
Tears fill my eyes when I found out she was gone.

(46:29):
Smokey mountain rain keeps on falling.
I keep on calling her name.
Smokey mountain rain, I'll keep on searching.
I can't go on hurting this way.

(46:55):
She's somewhere in the smokey mountain rain.
I waved a diesel down outside a cafe.
He said that he was going as far as Gatlinburg.
I climbed up in the cab, all wet and cold and lonely.

(47:23):
I wiped my eyes and told him about her.
I've got to find her, can you make these big wheels burn?

(47:50):
She's somewhere in the smokey mountain rain.

(48:11):
I can't blame her for letting go.
A woman needs someone warm to hold.
I feel the rain running down my face.
I'll find her no matter what it takes.

(48:40):

(49:07):
Down on the corner by the traffic light,

(49:31):
everybody's looking as she goes by.
They turn their heads and they watch her till she's gone.
Lord have mercy, baby's got her blue jeans on.

(49:54):
Up by the bus stop and across the street,
open up their windows to take a peek.
As she goes walking, rocking like a rolling stone.
Heaven help us, baby's got her blue jeans on.

(50:21):
She can't help it if she's made that way.
She's not to blame if they look her way.
She ain't really trying to cause a scene.
It just comes naturally.
No, the girl can't help it.
Well, up on Main Street by the taxi stand,

(50:45):
there's a crowd of people and a traffic jam.
She don't look back, she ain't doing nothing wrong.

(51:08):
She can't help it if she's made that way.
She's not to blame if they look her way.
She ain't really trying to cause a scene.
It just comes naturally.
No, the girl can't help it.

(51:29):
Down on the corner by the traffic light,
everybody's looking as she goes by.
They turn their heads and they watch her till she's gone.

(51:56):
Heaven help us, baby's got her blue jeans on.
All right, we're back.
So, Tara.
Yes.
A little more personal about you.

(52:17):
You're from Ramona?
I am from Ramona.
How long have you lived here?
We moved here when I was like five or six.
Oh, wow.
From Oregon.
And then we lived on G Street for two years.
And then moved out and my mom and dad bought a house out in the acres
behind Adobe Animal Hospital.
And so that's where I grew up.
My mom's still in the same house.

(52:38):
That's always so wild to me when I hear people have lived in the same house
for so many years.
We moved so much growing up.
I mean, not so much, but I mean, I've lived in quite a few different houses.
Yeah, I did when I got married the first time because my ex was not from Ramona.
So we did not stay up here and we moved a lot while I was married to him.
And then after the divorce, I had to move back where I could afford

(53:03):
and move back in with my mom, worked.
And so you've been here ever since then?
Yeah, came back.
I never really cared to leave, but.
Dude, I love Ramona.
This is my town.
I loved growing up here.
Absolutely loved growing up here.
Such a cool spot.
Yeah.
So I grew up in South Carolina, but before I moved there, I lived in Lakeside.

(53:24):
Down the hill.
My brother's in Lakeside now.
I lived off of Marilla Drive.
Nice.
Little town.
Yeah.
Lakeside.
So before that, I lived in Chula Vista.
Chula Vista.
I went from Chula Vista to Lakeside.

(53:46):
I don't know.
I was like eight when we moved to Lakeside.
And then my mom wanted horses and she wanted like all the fun stuff.
That's what I had.
Chickens, goats, like what we have now.
I never had any of that until I moved to Ramona.
So you moved with me and then we got goats and chickens.
I always had dogs and stuff growing up, but I grew up.

(54:07):
Well, I lived in Long Beach until I was 10.
And then my parents said we were moving to San Diego.
And I was like sweet.
Like San Diego.
I thought like beach.
Like San Diego, right?
Because my dad served.
My brother served.
I was like okay.
San Diego.
Cool.
And then we moved to Poway.
And I was like wah wah.
Oh yeah.
Man.
And then after Poway, we moved to Ramona.

(54:29):
And I'm like dude, like the next stop is like a yurt in the middle of the woods.
And we're going to all ride horses.
Like just farther and farther into the country every time we move.
But I love Ramona now.
I'm going to tell you.
So I lived in a spot in Pacific Beach, PB, for about eight months.
And I hated it.
It was like 2003, 2000, somewhere around there.

(54:51):
Worse.
How old were you in 2003?
I was like 20 something.
25, 24.
Okay.
That's appropriate.
I was going to say you can't live in PB and be over 25 years old.
Can you imagine me in PB right now?
Like if we went to PB right now, people would be like what are you doing here grandpa?
Yeah.

(55:12):
Median age is like 22 years old.
But I'm telling you, that was the worst time.
Worst place I've ever lived in Pacific Beach.
The traffic was terrible.
I remember it was on 4th of July.
Oh, and that's the worst heat anyways.
Yeah, so I lived in an apartment complex.
It was called Bay Point Apartments right across on Ingram Street.

(55:34):
And man, I come home from work and it was 4th of July.
I had to work that day.
I've always worked, normally work, blue collar, you know, anyway.
I remember coming home and I'm like there's nowhere to park.
Like I had to park like two miles away from my place that I live.

(55:55):
I'd like park and I was like skateboard.
I had to ride a skateboard from my car to get to my apartment.
Oh, I believe it was terrible.
At least you had a skateboard.
That's why I bought a skateboard because I was like, oh, I'm going to park over here.
I'm going to ride my skateboard home.
Yeah, the skateboard. Stop your belly aching.
I know.
He could have had to tend to express that.

(56:16):
Oh my God, dude.
Okay.
So I had this bad experience on a skateboard.
I crashed bad.
Okay.
Doesn't every guy?
I busted my ass.
I'm not even joking.
Like I was coming down Ingram Street, hauling ass on this longboard.
I bought a longboard because it was good for cruising.
And I was like, oh, I could just go up this curb.

(56:38):
For those longscapers.
Yeah, good for cruising.
It was good for cruising, right?
Because I had a long way to go home.
It's for those couple mile roads.
So I'm like thinking, oh, I can just hop up this curb and keep going on the sidewalk.
No, I flew.
Bottomed out probably.
Bottomed out.
That explains a lot.
What do you call it?

(56:59):
Rock bite?
They call it rock bite.
The skaters call it.
Boom. Hit the curb and just flew.
Like, I don't know, 20 feet hauling ass.
Did you get road rash?
Yeah, I did.
I got my ass kicked.
There's still a little TBR hand.
Like I said, that explains a lot.
His son has had crazy, crazy things happen to him.
And I'm like, literally you're the only person that that can happen to.

(57:23):
But it's stories like that.
I'm telling you, my son, his name is Teres.
He rented one of those scooters, bikes downtown where you can do the QR.
Did he break his elbow?
Yeah.
He fucked himself up so bad.
He like hopped off a curb thinking it was a curb and it was like a cliff.
And it was like a much steeper drop than he anticipated.

(57:45):
And then he calls me up.
He's like, dad, I'm fucked up.
I broke my arm.
It was Easter, wasn't it?
Like he was supposed to be at his.
We're all at his cousin's house.
And I'm like, where's Treves?
And yeah, and that's just me.
He's like, dad, I fucked up, man.
I broke my, I think I broke my arm.
I'm like, dude, he's 24 right now.
Well, this was a couple of years ago.
He was like 22, but still, yeah, he was younger, but his arm, he did have not really

(58:08):
all busted up.
He crashed it bad.
Like he took a jump and like just cracked his arm.
Bad.
Oh, here's the worst accident I ever had.
It happened as a child though, not as an adult.
I know this happens to more people than just me.
So if this ever happened to you riding my bike, shoelaces got caught in my thing.

(58:29):
And I just literally went, huh.
And it like got checked my stomach and I went over the top of my bike.
I was probably like nine.
Like, you know, when you're just like trucking and then all of a sudden just dead stop.
I remember putting rubber bands around my pant legs so that my pants didn't get caught
in the chain.
Remember that?
Fold them over and then roll it.
So it's all like super tight.

(58:50):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was inside my shoes.
I do now.
This is a lesson you learn once.
I'm like, I don't even need shoes.
Flip flops are fine.
My worst accidents were always on horses, but I've never broken a bone, which was amazing
because I took a lot of really bad falls.

(59:12):
Like a not professional, but did you like compete like a competitive writer?
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
I started.
I got lessons for my eighth birthday and then it went from I had horses from the time
I was eight till I got married the first time at 20 and I didn't stop.
I was.
And what style of competent or like what?
All of it.
Okay.
I've shown, written all of it, trained lessons.

(59:34):
You've done the barrel races and all that stuff.
I did a little bit.
My mom used to barrel race when she was like a teenager.
So it like terrified her, which is kind of funny because then I like jumped, which I
think is even scarier than barrel racing.
So my mom wouldn't let me do barrel racing.
I got to do one competition at the Fred grand arena and it was at Halloween.
That's the one in the estates.
Yeah.
No, Fred grand is here.

(59:55):
Okay.
The Ramona rodeo grounds is Fred grant.
Oh, okay.
KC Tibbs is the one out in the estates.
Okay.
Um, so I got to do a Halloween competition and I got to run barrels there and I thought
it was the best because I always wanted to go as fast as possible on horses and it freaked
my mom out.
So she let me do it one time and that was all I could do.
But I jumped, I drove carts.

(01:00:16):
I did English, Western side saddle, saddle seat, pretty much.
If it involved a horse, I did it.
Wow.
Do you have horses now?
I don't.
I haven't had horses in a long time.
They're money.
They're money pits.
He had a couple of horses growing up.
I've never had horses.
Yeah, but it's, I like horses.

(01:00:38):
Um, I think just when you don't grow up with them, they're kind of intimidating.
And then they can be little a holes and they know you're like a dog.
They say, don't let it show your fear or whatever.
No, they know.
Yeah.
Oh, more intuition onto like your feelings than a dog does even there.
Yeah.
They sense everything, but yeah, but they're expensive because not just feed.

(01:01:00):
If it was just feeding them, then it wouldn't be.
It's like the medical something happens to them.
I can't imagine that's shoes.
Very expensive.
Yeah.
All of that stuff.
Yeah.
I think we said that before, you know, back in like the 18 hundreds or the, when cars
came out, like rich people had cars.
Poor people had horses.

(01:01:21):
Now it's like, yeah, only rich people have horses.
Yep.
That is funny.
I never looked at it that way.
That is funny.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's crazy, man.
The first years were the bugs of the sea.
That's what they fed all the, Oh, now it's the bougie.
Now it's like, yeah, you go to like fancy restaurants, right?

(01:01:41):
Lobster.
The lobster, sir.
I love the lobster.
We used to feed that to the servant.
Yeah.
They put butter on it and turned up good.
There's a secret to that.
Butter is the secret.
Butter, man.
Oh, Tara.
Yes.
If you're on an island for let's say 10 years.

(01:02:02):
Okay.
What would be your food that you would like?
Probably sushi.
Sushi?
Yeah.
Oh man.
I like sushi too.
Yeah, me too.
But you can have like an unlimited supply because you're on an island.
There's fish up there.
No, we do.
I'm going to start telling people.
Okay, no, you're in space.
No, this is like sushi roll.

(01:02:22):
Like, you know, like nigiri and.
If you were on a glass cube suspended at 30,000 feet for 10 years.
That's all you got.
It's like, do you have to have.
So with sushi, do you have to have a chef with you?

(01:02:42):
So that would be your person.
I don't know.
Whatever it is.
What would you like to eat every day?
Bobby Flay.
One California roll, please.
Oh, come on.
You can't do if you're one food sushi.
You can't do California rolls.
I love California rolls with the crab.
It's fake sushi.

(01:03:03):
It's good, though.
I mean, it's fine.
It's fake sushi.
Man, I had a sushi party at my house years ago when I lived in Miramasa.
Living in Miramasa had a sushi party at my house because I lived right next to a place
called Bamboo Hut.
It's not there anymore.
But I was good friends with the owner and I was like, hey, I'm having a party at my

(01:03:24):
house.
So she brought like all the sushi and a bunch of sake.
Sake.
Oh, my God.
Sweet Curbs.
You've had sake?
I have had sake.
I don't like sake.
I did a shot with everybody that came in my door.
There was like 50, 60 people.
I swear I did 60 shots.

(01:03:45):
You would die.
That's not true.
No, sake.
It's like wine.
Yeah.
Anyway, God Almighty.
All right.
So your one drink on an island would not be sake now.
What would your drink be?
If you could have a one drink forever.
Diet Coke.
That's accurate.
Such a diet coke addict.
I had a friend at work with a girl that she was like you.

(01:04:10):
She was so addicted that for Lent one year, that's what she gave up was diet Coke.
I mean, I can.
Like I go days without drinking it, but it is my favorite.
It's my all time favorite.
Diet Coke.
I do diet Coke too.
Yeah.
All right.
Sushi, diet Coke.
What was the other one?
Song.
Song.
I'll repeat for 10 years.
Forever.

(01:04:30):
I think I would just bring a guitar.
Yeah, I can't play.
You would be your one person.
I would be me.
It would be me.
I do not have musical talent whatsoever.
Oh my God.
Tara, thank you so much for coming and hanging out with us on this beautiful day.

(01:04:51):
It's a beautiful Sunday.
Anytime.
We want to say, how do we buy a hat?
What do we?
You have a website?
Not currently, but I have Facebook and Instagram and it's HolesApple Design Co.
H-O-L-S-A-P-P-L-E Design Co.
And you can contact me through there.
I take in-home appointments.

(01:05:12):
I have a full studio at the house.
Those are my favorite because I get to do one-on-one personalized appointments.
And then it also, I post whenever I have the hat bar out and about in town.
Very cool.
So you make a hat and you post it.
Yeah.
So anything on my social media pages are all customs.
I don't have ones ready made.

(01:05:33):
I can't wait to see Sweet Curbs' new hat.
I can't wait either.
I bought that for you.
That's so pretty.
I know.
Thank you.
All right.
Let's go out with a song.
Tara, what would you like to listen to?
Some blues?
Yes.
All right.
Let's hear some blues.
Let's do some T-Bone Walker.
They call it stormy Monday But Tuesday's just as bad

(01:06:12):
Wednesday's worse And Thursday's also sad
Wednesday's worse And Thursday's also sad

(01:06:43):
And Thursday's also sad And Thursday's also sad

(01:07:17):

(01:07:39):

(01:08:08):

(01:08:29):

(01:09:00):

(01:09:31):

(01:10:03):

(01:10:47):
He was meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?

(01:11:08):
And did I hear you say
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?

(01:11:33):
And did I hear you say
Whenever I chance to meet

(01:11:54):
Some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man get to be this way?
I've always got a smiling face
Anytime and anyplace
And every time they ask me why

(01:12:15):
I just smile and say
You've got to
Kiss an angel good morning
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
And love her like the devil when you get back home

(01:12:37):
Well, people may try to guess
The secret of a happiness
But some of them never learn
It's a simple thing
The secret I'm speaking of
Is a woman and a man in love

(01:12:59):
And the answer is in this song that I always sing
You've got to

(01:13:23):
I'd like to dedicate this song to my partner, soul partner, Mr. Duck Sound, better known as Sir Douglas Quintet from San Antonio.

(01:13:50):
Wherever you are, brother.
Wasted days and wasted nights
I have left for you behind
For you don't belong to me

(01:14:11):
Your heart belongs to someone else
Why should I keep loving you
When I know that you're not true
And why should I call your name

(01:14:33):
When you're the blame for making me blue
Don't you remember the day
That you went away and left me
I was so lonely

(01:14:54):
I prayed for you only, my love

(01:15:16):
Ooh, ooh, ooh

(01:15:45):
I was so lonely

(01:16:06):

(01:16:51):
I was so lonely

(01:17:16):

(01:17:41):

(01:18:06):

(01:18:31):

(01:19:01):
We're going to start back up.
We'll be back.
Okay, so we're going to start back up.
So we're going to start back up.
So we're going to start back up.

(01:19:26):
Hunker down.
A warning.
No, no, a watch.
A watch happens first.
Okay, watch first.
And so they tell you, like, okay, potentially the weather could change and you could have
a tornado, so you have a watch.
And then once they're pretty sure a tornado is going to come or form or whatever, however
the weather works, it's a warning.
Like get to cover.
Get if you have a shelter.

(01:19:47):
Right.
Whatever.
So.
Yeah.
It's, you know, here, like, fires.
We know about fires.
Yeah, fires.
Like earthquakes just happen.
We evacuate fires.
Right.
But they give you, like, you're under a time to prepare.
You're under a watch.
You're under a warning.
All of that.
And hurricanes go for them.
And then they're, like, mandatory.
Like a long time, kind of, right?
Yeah.

(01:20:07):
Hurricanes are, too.
Well, yeah, hurricanes are.
The tornadoes are, like, 10 minutes.
Not even 10 minutes.
You know what I mean?
They just jump around and then they're done.
Yeah, it just forms.
They don't go, like, across the state or the country or anything like a hurricane.
How scary is a Californian?
I'm going to tell you, like, the last time.
For sure.
And all these people, they're like, it's no big deal, like, whatever, like, how we treat
earthquakes.
And I'm like, no.
Like, an earthquake is two seconds.

(01:20:28):
It's done.
Before you can even be scared, it's over.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hour and a half of sitting in a closet waiting for the roof to get ripped off of the house
you're in.
And I will tell you, I've had those conversations with my friends from the Midwest, et cetera.
And all of them are like, I don't know how you live in California.
Those earthquakes are scary.
Dude.
And I'm like, no, dude.
I know.

(01:20:49):
They're fast.
They go away.
They're fast.
They go away.
I know, and it was really, it was kind of sad, but really sweet.
My nephew and I stay, I always stay in my nephew's room when we call it slumber parties.
And so the night of the tornado, by the time we came out, came out of the closet, it was
like midnight and our adrenaline was going.

(01:21:11):
It means something different in Texas.
The literal closet, literally our shelter.
But so we come out and it's like midnight and all of our adrenaline was obviously amped
up so we didn't go to bed until like three o'clock.
And so I told my nephew, I said, Isaiah, okay, I'm going to bed.
Are you ready?
He's like, I think I'm going to sleep in my mom and dad's room tonight.
They have a little like sofa at the foot of their bed.

(01:21:31):
He's like, I'm just going to sleep in here.
He's like, I'm safe with mom.
I love you at Curbs, but I'm going to sleep in here tonight.
Oh, bless his heart.
Man, I'm going to tell you the last earthquake that I remember, like that I felt, right,
I usually sleep through them.
Like you hear about it.
Oh, four o'clock in the morning, there was an earthquake.
Yeah, the little ones are good.

(01:21:51):
I didn't even feel that at all.
Like the one one of the ones that I did feel was Easter.
And it was probably I know what you're talking about.
Oh, yeah.
2010.
I think something like that.
The pool, like the water was sloshing out of my parents pool.
I remember that I was at my aunt's house in La Jolla.
And all of a sudden, like the ground just started going.

(01:22:12):
I was like, what the heck is happening right now?
I felt like I was on water.
It was long and strong.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Definitely unique.
Wow.
Good times.
Has San Diego ever had a really big earthquake?
That was one of the big ones.
The only one I know of, like 87, but it was like north, like San Francisco, somewhere

(01:22:34):
around that.
Oh, I know.
Because like I said, I grew up in Long High.
I was in that.
I remember that.
But I can't remember what year it was.
Lots in San Francisco and LA.
And I'm born and raised San Diego.
So we're going back a couple of years, all right, 50 or so.
But I know.
You better get out of here.

(01:22:54):
I know.
People are laughing over here in the wings.
But no, the biggest one that I recall was that Easter.
And there were things knocked off the walls and some damage, but not like Northridge or
the San Francisco quakes.
Yeah.
It was a weird one.

(01:23:14):
I remember coming back to school in my fourth grade classroom.
Do you want another drink, sweetheart?
I had a crack down the wall.
Just trying to catch up to you, sweetheart.
Trying to catch up, sweetheart.
You better drink up.
A crack down the wall in your classroom.
Oh, yeah.
In your school?
There was an actual crack down the wall?
Wow.
See, that's something I've never seen.
And I'm sure there are people yelling at me, like, oh, my God, I'm going to die.

(01:23:37):
I'm going to die.
I'm going to die.
I'm going to die.
I'm going to die.
That's something I've never seen, and I'm sure there are people yelling at the radios
right now telling me about the one that I missed.
And I probably would have slept through it because I woke up to my sister running through
the house screaming there's an earthquake.
That's what woke me up.
It wasn't the actual earthquake.

(01:23:58):
I think I had a lot of those.
My sister, she was just running down the hallway screaming earthquake.
Yeah.
Dang.
And I was like, OK.
I do have one where my sister, I think, came into my doorway.
We were, I don't know, 10, 12, and standing there bracing herself going, it's the big
one.
We're all going to die.
That's how I fell in the tornado.

(01:24:21):
I'm not exaggerating.
My 19-year-old niece and myself were huddled holding each other on the floor of this closet.
I was crying, not afraid to admit it.
I thought the roof was going to come off and we were going to be sucked into the sky.
Oh, sweet curbs.
I want to hug you so badly right now.
It was very scary.
And probably just because I've never experienced it.

(01:24:42):
People come here and they have an earthquake and same thing, we're dying.
This is it.
Were you screaming for NEM?
No.
You're stupid.
You're dumb.
She was concerned about the gecko.
NEM, NEM.
He was just fine.
Yeah.
You know what?
I don't know about you, but I look at animals sometimes in these situations because I do

(01:25:04):
feel like they sense things differently than we do.
It's weird.
My sister's dogs were mellow.
I don't know if it's because they were freaking out, but they weren't being crazy.
They were just on the floor.
NEM, NEM.
Is that the Wizard of Oz?
It is.
That is absolutely the Wizard of Oz.
It's absolutely the Wizard of Oz.

(01:25:28):
Thankfully, it did not pick up our house.
Oh my God, dude.
You didn't have Ruby Red slippers on, did you?
I did not.
Okay, now I know I'm getting it for Christmas.
Holy crap, man.
You got to get your Ruby Red slippers.
You just take them to Texas.
You go to Texas.

(01:25:50):
You don't need them here, but certainly in Texas.
Yeah.
All right, so we made some calls.
Made some phone calls.
Dude, this is like the day.
The day is the day.
You know who we got here?
He just showed up right now.
It's Magic.
There's a song about Magic.

(01:26:12):
Do you believe in Magic?
We believe in Michael Dean Goodrich.
What's going on?
What up, dude?
Michael Dean Goodrich just showed up.
What's up, man?
Let's get a song in the queue, and we're going to get him set up here.
Dude, we got to get you some headphones.
Because he just randomly shows up.
Dude, I can't believe you're here, bro.
Hell yeah.

(01:26:33):
I can't believe you're here.
All right, let's play some music, and we're going to get Michael Dean Goodrich coming
up.
All right.
Yeah.
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine.

(01:27:04):
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds.
Because you're mine, I walk the line.

(01:27:27):
I find it very, very easy to be true.
I find myself alone when each day's through.
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you.

(01:27:54):
As sure as night is dark and day is light, I keep you on my mind both day and night.
And happiness, I have known, proves that it's right.

(01:28:22):
You've got a way to keep me on your side.
You give me cause for love that I can't hide.
For you, I know I'd even try to turn the tide.

(01:28:50):
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine.
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds.

(01:29:22):
He's pounding down, loaded up and trucking.
Are we gonna do what they say can be done?
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I'm eastbound just like an old bandit runs.
Keep your foot part on the pedal, son, never mind them brakes.
Let it all hang out cause we gotta run to make it.

(01:29:45):
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there's beer in Texarkana.
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes.
Are we gonna do what they say can't be done?

(01:30:34):

(01:31:00):
Old Smokey's got them ears on, he's not on your trail.
He ain't gonna rest till you're in jail.
So you've got to dodge him, you've got to duck him.

(01:31:21):
You've got to keep that decent trucking.
Just put that hammer down and give it hell.

(01:31:57):
Alright, we're back.
Man, I love that, I freaking love that song, dude.
East Banner Down, that movie.
Have you heard, I don't know, I know you have.
What movie?
Anybody in the world out there.
Smokey and the Bandit?
Have you ever heard Dirty Confetti do that song?
I'm gonna tell you, we have this kid, Ian, that plays lead guitar with us and keys.
Freaking kills it every time.

(01:32:19):
Every time.
Dude, Michael Dean Goodrich just showed up.
Holy crap, dude.
You never know what's gonna happen in this video.
Johnny Cash and some East Banner Down.
I just happened to roll by.
Dude, how are you doing, man?
I'm good.
Good.
Just trying to stay cool.
Hell yeah.
It's a little warm.
It is a little warm.

(01:32:40):
It's hot.
It is toasty.
Well, cheers.
What are you drinking there, my friend?
A little ice water.
Ice water.
Ice water, he's healthy.
Water?
Oh yeah.
You know, you know.
It doesn't deplete you.
You know that fish pee in that stuff?
I was just in Doug and Lisa's pond.
Yeah, there's about a hundred fish in there.

(01:33:02):
Really?
You were in the pond today?
Yeah.
Are there any big fish in there or are there all those little tiny guys?
There's some big ones, some big goldfish, about six, seven inches.
Oh wow.
And then lots of carpy.
Put some carp in there and like.
There's no carp.
No carp.
Yeah.
There's fish?
Yeah, goldfish.
There's something that makes me chocker when somebody say big goldfish.
You know, it's like the Italian guy that's like 400 pounds and they call him tiny.

(01:33:24):
Yeah.
And he's like, oh, I'm going to be a goldfish.
My brother had one of those fancy goldfish, you know, with the big bubbly eyes.
Yeah.
And he probably had the longest living goldfish ever.
This thing probably lived five years.
I'm not exaggerating.
And it got flushed probably almost a hundred times because I don't know what's wrong with
this fish.
It would float on its back at the top of the tank, but it wasn't dead.

(01:33:47):
It would just hang out?
Yeah.
It was just resting.
You all kept harassing it.
And you're like, oh, I'm going to spend this time to flush.
No, he's still alive.
The first couple of times my mom tried to scoop it and then he would swim.
So after that, we would just like, bink, bink, bink on the side of the tank.
And then it would be like, I know where he would do a little somersault or whatever.
And okay, he's alive.
You know what?

(01:34:08):
You know what?
I had a pet goldfish.
How do you call a goldfish a pet?
It's like a starter pet.
Like if you put your hand in the aquarium and you corner him, you might be able to pet
him with your thumb.
But look, you can't do that.
I had a goldfish that could break dance.
Stop.
Well, only for like five seconds and only once.
Oh, get out of here, sweet Christ.

(01:34:29):
That was a good joke.
That was a good joke.
I've heard that before.
Just kidding.
No goldfish were harmed in the making of this episode.
No, we love goldfish.
Michael Dean Goodrich.
Yes.
Pets.
You got any pets?
No pets.
No pets?
I had my Daphne dog for 13 years.
Oh, yeah.
Lost her four years ago.
Oh, man.

(01:34:50):
You know, the trailer life, it's a little harder.
Trailer life?
You know, especially in the summer.
You want to get home, it's 100 degrees in the trailer.
I don't want any animal in there.
Man, I tell you what, yeah, we, you know, we live in San Isabel.
Our air conditioning is on for the dogs right now and I don't want to get our electric bill.
I do not want to see my electric bill this month, too.
It's going to be crazy.
I got to keep the dogs cool.

(01:35:11):
What brings you by the studio?
Yeah, what brings you?
I heard you had a rattlesnake?
Yeah.
Oh, you met up with Tara.
Yes, met up with Tara.
I had to bring her, well, I didn't have to, but I offered to bring her the rattlesnake that I captured and...
How'd you find yours?
I was hunting squirrels.
Okay.
Hunting squirrels.
Hunting squirrels and I was just knelt down around some storage sheds and it happened to pop out and surprise me.

(01:35:35):
It was about 20 feet away.
It was like coming right towards me.
Dude, that's scary.
I had to shoot it.
Got to go.
Yeah.
It was about five foot long.
It was a big one.
Oh, yeah?
How many buttons?
Seven.
Seven, dang.
That's a good one.
Wow.
Yeah, man.
Crazy, dude.
So she's going to make you a hat?
Yeah.
Heck yeah.

(01:35:56):
We're going to, yeah.
Are you getting a Holes Apple hat?
Oh, you have one already.
I have one and then I'm going to get one more for summer because that black felt beaver
wore me super hot.
Yeah, you got to have summer hats.
I haven't worn it since, yeah, in two months because it's...
What do you get now?
I'll probably use something like...
Open weave straw.
Open weave straw.
Yeah.
Maybe with a convertible top.
Oh, yeah.
Flip it up for winter.

(01:36:16):
A straw hat.
Put a little solar panel on there, a little fan.
A little window.
That is fun.
A little custom straw hat for the summer.
A little battery operated.
Just put a solar panel up there.
There you go.
He's going to have one of those pith helmets that they wear down in the savannah.
Yeah, dude.
With a little solar powered fan on it.
That's funny.
Heck yeah.
All right.
So Michael Dean, what do you want to listen to, man?
You want to hear some music?
Yeah, that'd be great.
Yeah, that'd kind of...
What do you want to hear?

(01:36:37):
Let's go with...
Uh-oh.
Draw a blank.
Alan Jackson.
Alan Jackson.
I'll never say no to that.
Oh, dude, I love Alan Jackson.
Can't go wrong with any Alan Jackson.
Yeah, whoever's choosing the songs, pick a song.
Yeah, Alan Jackson.

(01:36:58):
I love it.
Let's do it.
Well, all right.
Don't get angry at me.
It's almost five o'clock somewhere.
He's getting all upset.
Welcome to the Music people.

(01:37:32):
Welcome to the music people.
on a Chattapoochie.
It gets hotter than a Hoochie Coochie.
We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt.
We got a little crazy, but we never got caught.
Down by the river on a Friday night,
pyramid of cans and a pale moonlight.
Talking about cars and dreaming about winning.
Never had a plan, just living for the minute.

(01:37:56):
Yeah, I wake down yonder on the Chattapoochie.
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me.
But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was.
A lot about living and a little about love.
Oh, oh.

(01:38:20):
Well, we farted at the windows in my old shed.
I was willing, but she wasn't ready.
So I settled for a burger and a grape snow cone.
I dropped her off early, but I didn't go home.

(01:38:43):
Yeah, I went down yonder on the Chattapoochie.

(01:39:17):
Well, we went down yonder on the Chattapoochie.
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie.
We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt.
We got a little crazy, but we never got caught.

(01:39:59):
Well, we farted at the windows in my old shed.
I was willing, but she wasn't ready.
So I settled for a burger and a grape snow cone.
I dropped her off early, but I didn't go home.

(01:40:23):
Yeah, I went down yonder on the Chattapoochie.

(01:40:49):
Yeah.
That's right.

(01:41:15):
I'm tired of this dirty old city.
And tired of too much work and never eating up clay.
And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks.

(01:41:38):
Think I'll walk off my steady job today.
Turn me loose, set me free.
Somewhere in the middle of Montana.
Give me all I've got, come into me.

(01:42:03):
And keep your retirement and your so-called social security.
Big city, turn me loose and set me free.
Yeah.

(01:42:38):
Been working every day since I was 20.
Haven't got a thing to show for anything I've done.
There's folks who never work and they've got plenty.

(01:43:01):
I think it's time some guys like me had some fun.
Turn me loose, set me free.
Somewhere in the middle of Montana.
Give me all I've got, come into me.

(01:43:26):
And keep your retirement and your so-called social security.
Big city, turn me loose and set me free.
Hey, big city, turn me loose and set me free.

(01:43:53):
Heck yeah.
That was killer.
You know what's so funny, man?
It's hottest heck right now.
I'm going to say heck.
Let me say hottest hell.
It's gull darn.
It's gull darn hot out here.
And if you saw us sitting in the studio right now,
we look like we're in a hot tub or something.
We're all shirtless.
Not all of us.

(01:44:13):
But you got a bathing suit on.
Cassie, you got to take a picture of us all here within the studio.
I'm not sure I actually want this out, but anyway.
Oh, thank God.
It is hotter than a hoochie coochie.
It sure is hot.
We've been under heat advisory here for a week now.

(01:44:34):
Yeah, man.
But you know what?
It's not too bad.
There's people in hell that want ice water.
You know what I mean?
Oh my goodness.
It reminds me of Devil Went Down to Georgia.
No.
But Michael Dean, good rich hanging out with us, man.
Thanks for cruising over, dude.
Surprise, surprise.

(01:44:54):
Heck yeah.
Surprise, surprise.
Surprise, surprise.
That's one of my favorite memes.
It doesn't get old.
All the different takes on it.
That one and you see the one that said,
taste the goodness of my biscuit.
And it's like this lady.
Those are the two best.
They don't get old.
Don't get old.
Oh my God.
So funny.

(01:45:15):
Sweet Curves, you are hilarious.
Man, I love you.
I love you.
All right, where's my smokes?
I need some cigarettes.
What have you been up to, Michael Dean?
You rich?
Oh, just hanging out, work, playing some tunes.
Going to work on a new album with Jim Soldi here in Ramona.
Very cool.
Got 11 songs lined up.
Originals.
Damn, 11?

(01:45:35):
Holy cow.
10 originals and one cover song that's going to be a surprise.
Oh, it's a surprise.
Oh, it's a surprise.
Never mind.
OK.
It's by Social Distortion.
Oh, Social Distortion.
We're going to country-fy it, though.
OK.
OK.
I'll leave the name of it as a surprise.
I think I know.
I love you, man.
Yeah.
Very cool.
One that you wouldn't think would be country-fied.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's going to be fun.

(01:45:56):
Yeah, Social D, man.
I like Social Distortion.
Oh, yeah.
Good band.
I grew up on that.
Southern California punk.
Me too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Mike Ness does a lot of country stuff.
Well, he did a Johnny Cash song.
Ring of Fire.
Yeah, he did a whole album in the 90s.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he did Ring of Fire.
Cheating at Solitaire.

(01:46:16):
And then I forget the name of the other one.
But like complete country.
Yeah.
Mike Ness solo stuff.
Mike Ness.
Yeah.
Mike Ness.
Yeah.
Crazy dude.
Heck yeah.
So you've been a writing fool lately.
Yeah, writing a few tunes and some of the old stuff.
So I'm kind of going with the same format as before.
Some of the old stuff that I used to do with the punk rock band,

(01:46:38):
and even just stuff that I wrote after that in kind of the early 2000s that I haven't really
recorded.
So some old, some old, some new.
So like half and half.
Yeah.
Cool.
So next album is not going to be country or is it going to be more like rock?
It's going to be a little mix of that.
Yeah.
I kind of want to pull some hunky-tonk stuff into it and then some slower stuff.
And it's going to be full band oriented again.

(01:46:59):
You know, so some bass and lead guitar and keys.
You're in a band now, right?
You got a band?
Yeah.
Doing some original stuff.
We're going to play at the fair at the end of July.
It's called the MDG Band.
And we're just doing like a 45 minute slot.
Who's in the band?
Who's?
Michael Rare on drums.
Okay.
Michael Rare.
Mike Weiland on bass.

(01:47:20):
Oh, shit.
Andy Ross on guitar.
Andy Ross?
Yeah.
No way.
And Ian Ross on keys.
Ian's playing keys?
Oh, dude.
Yeah.
We're just doing like six originals and then one cover song.
Killer, dude.
Just kind of keeping it original.
Just kind of showcase my music in a different way.
Yeah.
Because I always play solo and other than the duo stuff.

(01:47:40):
Dude, I'm so stoked to see you doing what you're doing with getting a band together.
Thank you.
You should do that, dude.
You're so good, dude.
You got a drummer.
You need a drummer.
You need a bass and all that stuff.
Yeah.
And I want to keep it original oriented.
I don't want to be just another cover band that plays three hour shows here and there
as a band.

(01:48:01):
That's tough to do.
You know that.
Well, yeah.
Tough to do.
And also, now you're using my keyboard player.
Well, we'll have to collaborate on some stuff together.
Do not steal my keyboard player.
I'm just kidding.
I love that kid, man.
He's so good, dude.
Yeah.
That kid is amazing.

(01:48:21):
Ian Ross.
We all know that the confetti comes first for him.
Strawberry jam second.
And then the MDG band.
We know the pecking order for Ian Ross.
Yeah.
And we're good with that.
All right.
Holy crap, man.
Yeah, it's going to be fun.
Well, dude, it's so good to have you here, dude.
Are you ready?
Oh, you want to play a game?
You want to do the?
Ooh.
You want to do it again?
I already said I don't think I want to play with Michael again.

(01:48:42):
I'm going to try and go 2-0.
I'm going to have to do it.
He beat me last time.
Let's see if I can.
Let's do it, man.
Let's play this game.
We'll see if it was a fluke or not, man.
I don't know.
You're pretty good.
Let's see what we got.
All right.
What are rules?
What are the rules?
Oh, so the new rule since you've been here, before you call out a song,

(01:49:04):
Eric will start to play it.
You hear it.
You have to say Michael.
Oh, OK.
And then that's your then you can say it.
If you just yell it out, then you're out.
And then Travis and I can say it.
You got to say your name first.
OK.
So that's your buzzer.
It's just three of us.
That's your buzzer.
OK.
But sweet cribs, do you have to say your name first, too?
Because everybody knows your voice.
Well, everyone knows your voice.
Yeah, you have to say your name.
Weirdo.

(01:49:25):
Weirdo.
It's me.
What if I can I guess?
What if I get excited and forget my name?
Can I go?
Travis.
What if I what if I say Michael?
Maybe you put me on the spot.

(01:49:49):
Michael's like looking at me like, what the hell, bro?
All right.
Are we ready?
Yes, sir.
All right.
We're doing this.
What's the winner?
We have three contestants.
With three, me, Michael, and sweet cribs.
But if so, yeah, we do have to come up with a punishment.
Yeah, what's the win?
What's the winner?
Shots?

(01:50:09):
No, no.
I'm starting to like instantly like, no.
So here's my proposal.
It's 100 degrees outside of not doing shots.
If you lose, you will have to change your name for the next month.
What do you mean?
So if Travis, if you lose, you're going to be Travis Penelope Ross.

(01:50:32):
Oh, God.
And you have to introduce yourself.
That's pretty funny.
Hi, I'm Travis Penelope Ross.
No, you can't say it like that.
I got to say it like I mean it.
Yeah, like that's your name.
Hi, I'm Travis Penelope Ross.
Thanks everybody for tuning in to Ramona Radio.
Exactly like you mean it.

(01:50:52):
And we will have spies out in the town.
All right.
And if you fail to introduce yourself as Travis Penelope Ross.
All right, what about Michael Dean Goodrich?
What are you going to do?
What's the loser?
Travis, Michael, if you lose, your name for the next month is,

(01:51:14):
what do you think?
What would be?
We got to write these down?
All right, I'm Travis Penelope Ross.
Michael, your name is now Michael Clickety Clack.
I like that.
I like that.
That might be that.
That actually sounds cool.
I should grab some tuna cans just in case.
Yes, Michael.
Clickety Clack?
Michael, Clickety Clack.

(01:51:34):
He got it written down, speed curbs?
Yeah.
All right, Michael.
No, if you lose.
All right, what do we got?
I like when Eric gets a good chuckle like this.
You should see him in here.
It's going to be good.

(01:51:59):
That's the best is when it's so funny to the person telling
you that they can't even say it.
I don't know if it's that funny, but in my head, it's very funny.
All right, you will be Kirby.
Just like that.
Gold coin green.

(01:52:21):
Oh, that's a good name, dude.
I like that.
Kirby Gold Coin Green.
Oh, dude, that's like a James Bond shit right there.
All right.
Love that.
Gold coin.
Yeah.
Kirby Gold.
No, but that's bullshit because that's a cool name.
I know.
My name might use that even if I do.

(01:52:44):
Same.
All right.
Let's do this.
All right.
Hold on.
I'll fix yours, Travis, because you do have to cut a cool one.
I know.
I want you to actually say it.
My actual name is pretty cool.
Travis Billy Ross.
It is very cool.
But you're going to be Travis.
Kiwi.
No Ross for the next month.

(01:53:05):
I like that.
Travis Kiwi.
Yeah.
And I want people to say, say that again.
And I want you to explain it.
I want you to say it like four times.
All right.
You're going to be Travis Kiwi.
Kiwi.
I like that.
Kiwi.
Yeah.
Because a lot of my songs are in the Kiwi.
Yeah.
For those musicians that know.
Yeah.
If you've been listening to the show, we know Travis is a Kiwi kind of guy.

(01:53:26):
Kiwi kind of guy.
I like it.
All right.
All right.
Let's do this, man.
Here we go.
Yeah.
Here we go.
We're doing live.
Michael.
It's quiet.
Oh, is it Lime and the Coconut?
Negative.
This is Nancy Sinatra.
Kirby.
Go ahead, Kirby.
Bobby Gentry.
Ode to Billy Joe.
Oh, I forgot the purple thingy up.
There you go.

(01:53:47):
I jumped the gun.
Sweet Curbs.
I know, right?
Lime and the Coconut.
I heard it too.
I heard it too, dude.
I shouldn't have said it.
All right.
Sweet Kirby.
I heard it too.
I heard it too.
All right, Sweet Curbs.
You got two.
All right.
You ready for the next one?
Here we go.

(01:54:09):
Hank Williams.
First of all, you didn't say your name.
God dang it.
Travis.
You got a buzzer just for that.
I got negative points now.
Anybody?
No, I don't know.
Travis.
Go ahead.
Is it too late?

(01:54:29):
Can I still say it?
Go ahead.
George Jones.
It is George Jones.
George Jones.
Oh, I can hear that now they say that, for sure.
Yeah, I can hear his voice a little bit.
You got five seconds.
Five seconds.
Come on.
What's his name?
Time's up.
Anybody else?
Oh, fuck sakes.
You guys should all be ashamed of your song.

(01:54:49):
I know, dude.
I know it's George Jones.
There it is.
She thinks I still care.
I don't think I've heard this song.
I'm going to be honest.
You guys should all be ashamed.
A little rusty.
It's the heat.
It's the heat, Markle Dean.

(01:55:10):
Getting ready.
All right, let's do that.
I can't believe you guys didn't take that.
I know.
All right, here we go.
I knew it was George Jones.
I got one point, right?
That's not fair.
Wait.
Hold on.
What is this?
I'm backing it up.
Kirby.
I know the singer, though, too.
All right, go ahead.
Johnny Paytrak.
Take that, though, and shove it.
That was you totally cheated, dude.
How did I cheat?
What the hell?

(01:55:31):
I'm pretty sure I said my name and responded.
But I can't.
But you beat me.
All right, give yourself two points.
Bullshit.
I love this song, by the way.
I can't wait till I can do this.
All right, we're ready for the next one.
Next.

(01:55:52):
Michael.
Go ahead.
Blue by You.
Linda Ronstadt.
Yeah, good job, Michael.
It's a very cool song.
Clickety-clack.
Linda Ronstadt.
Clickety-clack.
Clickety-clack.
Michael, clickety-clack.

(01:56:12):
He's like, I'm not losing.
I want to go open mic, and Michael will say,
ladies and gentlemen, thanks for hanging out.
I'm Michael.
Clickety-clack.
Good, Rich.
Oh my god.
Beer.
Oh my god, beer just came out of my nose.
All right, let's do it.

(01:56:36):
Kirby.
Go ahead.

It's not Jamie Reilly.
I know it's not.
I don't know.
Travis.
Five seconds left.
Go ahead.
Loretta.
Somebody fucking, I don't know, dude.
I can't, I don't know the women singers.
Yeah.
It's bad.

(01:56:57):
I feel bad about it, but.
Lynn Anderson.
You didn't say your name.
I already said my name.
She did.
All right.
It was up in the air.
Five seconds were up, it was up in the air.
OK.
So you won.
Again.
Next song.
This might be a little tough, but you guys know this song.

(01:57:17):
I know you guys know this song.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
The pup Dylan.
I'm sorry.

(01:57:37):

You guys are going to kick yourself.
You may not know the artist.

(01:57:58):
Well, there's the name of the song.
Wait for Trader.

I was going to say Travis.
Patti Loveless.

(01:58:39):

Mary Chapin Carpenter Twist and Shout.
You got two points for Kirby.
I'm just going to sit this one out, I think.
No, it was John Hancock.

Travis Keavy.
Travis Keavy.
All right, guys, do it.
Travis Keavy.
Thank you.

Go ahead, Kirby.
Bobby Mercury.

(01:59:21):
No, summertime.
Michael.
Summertime Blues.
I thought it was a Mercury song.
Good job.
All right.
Because of all of the pop appearances that we had today,
man, we ran out of time.
Can we believe two hours has already been up?
Dude.
Really?
Goodness.
It's a good day for the studio.
What a Sunday, man.
Happy Sunday, everybody.
As long as I didn't come in last.

(01:59:43):
You did.
Clack for two weeks.
Michael Clack.
Travis D.
Tonight.
Effective today.
Smoking Cannon.
I'm Travis Keavy.
And at other random times.
Nice to meet you.
You're not Travis Billy Ross anymore.
You're Travis Keavy.
Travis Keavy, badass Billy Boss Ross.
No, if you don't get to explain it,
only people that know the show will understand why you're introducing yourself as Travis Keavy.

(02:00:08):
All right.
I'm in.
I'm in.
I love it.
All right.
It's a fun time.
So today's the fifth.
So you have until August 5th.
Your name is not Travis Billy Ross.
A whole month?
Holy shit.
You didn't say a whole month.
Yes, I did.
I think he did.
Like two weeks.
Yeah.
If I hear Travis Billy, first of all, we gotta understand what happens if you screw it up.

(02:00:32):
I get to tattoo you again.
Oh, God.
You better get out of here, sweet curves.
I love that.
I already look like I've been to prison.
Do you want me to look like I just came out of prison again?
If you fail.
I'm getting better.
She is actually doing better.
She did a...
What did you do?
I did that heart.
Oh, yeah.
You did a heart, yeah.
It's teeny tiny, but it looks real professional.
You didn't.
Is it upside down?
No.

(02:00:52):
It's like a bum.
It's a black heart.
Way to get out.
So if you fail to introduce yourself as Travis Kiwi, for each time you fail, you're gonna get a tick mark.
Dude, man, that sucks because I play a lot.
I need you to think about this.
I'm gonna have to be like, I'm Travis Kiwi.
Yes, Kiwi.

(02:01:12):
That's it.
Travis Billy Ross, but Kiwi.
No, not Travis Billy Ross.
You don't get to say both.
I can't say both.
Your name is officially Travis Kiwi for the next, until August 5th.
August 5th.
Thank you guys so much for tuning in.
We'll see you guys next week.
What's your name?
Travis...
Kiwi.
