I'm telling you they've done such a wonderful job. And

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Allowing us to not only.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Be in the hotel, you know, because you know we
can be a mess, no be in the hotel, but
also to be able to to keep old Blue here
in the parking lot. And you know what I think
is pretty funny. We are parked right next to the
charging stations. So we've got we've got the biggest vehicle
in the parking lot that gets about six miles to
the Gallon Park next to the charging stations. But you

(06:40):
know where the electricity comes from to charge the electric
cars and the charging stations.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Well, what butterfly wings?

Speaker 3 (06:49):
No, I wish it did come from coal. We're trying
to sink by the way, do that.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
I think it comes from a very large diesel generator somewhere. So, uh, generators,
Thank you showing on. We had a great time with you.
You look great. My gosh, he's lost like almost sixty
months and you know, excuse me.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
And you know what, it's just like you just said,
here's three thousand dollars worth of generators for folks. We
didn't even ask them. Yeah, it is awkward because he's
that kind of guy.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Great guy.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
We met some other folks here that have that are
that are manning the trailers that were people who lost
their homes are staying in and guess what they need.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
You know, they don't necessarily have electricity.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
They can't necessarily set up to the grid, so they're
set up to the generator.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
What generators?

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Much slips by you.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
We invited them to the concert and then they had
to go work. They had to go to Paduca because
the Western Park thing.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Thank you for Thank you Bert. We had a wonderful
time with Bert. We went, we got to Mention, we
went downtown to the goal line. Was great. The white
staff there, the bartenders there were fantastic. Right on the river.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Hey, honey, I'm so sorry they ended up helping us
at the event too, and blame me. That was very
hectic and very difficult for those folks because everyone wanted
to stay. It was chaos, but good chaos, but still
when you're trying to serve drinks and food and do
it all while our concert's coming out.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
It cut a birthday cake.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
It was challenging. And not only did they have one
birthday cake, they had two. Darren Dillo had the moonshine.
There any bourbon there, and then they brought champagne. I mean,
I'm telling you, folks, everything was This was the eventa
the sentry.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
It was great.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Hopefully we're gonna be able to post a little video,
a little video from the concert. Maybe I was busy
doing the concert, so I don't I don't know, but gosh,
it was great and the cakes were terrific. What was
a carrot cake because I love carrot cake, and it
had that cream cheese dressing, so it wasn't all that
sweet dressing frosting.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yeah, and then the other cake with the general lealer
it I cut.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
You know, I'm the birthday boys, So I cut the
first piece on both the both the cakes. When I cut,
it was only about that big and I lifted it up.
I thought that I thought the knife was stuck.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
It was like a pound.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
That thing was just that one piece weighed probably nearly
a pound. So I picked the whole cake up. It
was unbelievable. So danse so beautiful, so wonderful, I think
it was. It was a white cake, like an angel
food cake with some orange. It was just great. Everybody.
I'm sorry, we don't know every everybody's name, but everybody
who had anything to do with the birthday celebration and

(10:29):
the fundraising event at the Forum and Hazard County on
April eighth, we thank you, we salute you, we toasted you,
and we're so glad that we can help out we here.
Like I said, they raised more money than they expected
to raise.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
It don't help a lot of folks.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
And I have to tell you that when they sent
the video of the little little boys and their baby sister.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
You know, we.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
And it was late for them before they loved bo
Duke and they were sweet. That just that just made
the nine and then that family's adoptment. Everybody has been
amazing and so supportive, like my gosh, thank you for
what you're doing. I'm telling you cannot come up with
a more appreciative community. And we're so happy to be here.
It's it's just been, it's been. It's been hard for me, really,

(11:18):
And she said, you.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Know, they're little, and I said, and I've got a
feeling I'm gonna I'm going to see them a lot.
I'm going to watch them grow. And as I said that,
Paul Michael was standing there. Who's in Christmas?

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Card Lupo was there and he's he's he's probably five
to ten.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
Yeah, he's tall five ten.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
And I said, look, I'm a case in point. I
want to prove it to you.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
When I first met this young man, he was just
a little bigger than your boys, and now look at him.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
So it was it was really great, but miss Charlotte hurt.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
I apologize of it's Charlotte and c h A R
L A hurt and it was I was up because
you know, I've been working kind of late on this thing.

Speaker 5 (11:58):
And she's like, well, I just wanted to give you
a feel good story.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
And she's the one that said my little boys, and
she sent the video of yeeha and them watching Dukes
of Hazard and singing along and you can even hear
the baby sister ten months in the back. And they've
had health problems. And I asked her, I said, may
I post this because I really think it's a sweet story,
but I don't want to do it without your permission.
She said absolutely. So they had to be in a hospital,

(12:22):
and I guess both parents and they've had some health issues.
So the boys were alone or with babysitter or relatives,
and the only thing that would keep them from crying
and have them settled down is a duke of Hazard.
They would play the Dukes of Hazard because they did
that together as a family, And even though they had
to go and be in a hospital, when they played
the Dudes of Hazard, they would settle down and be

(12:43):
happy and sing along. And that really made a difference.
And then the funny thing is a lot of other
people would say, oh, they're same with my kids.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
Oh they're same with my babies.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
So there's something about the Dukes of Hazards and little
kiddos love kiddos of all ages, apparently kids.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
So it was nice to meet them.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, that was really great, and it's wonderful to see
that the show still does that now. You know, i'd
heard that back in nineteen nineteen eighty. Well, the only
way we get our kids to start babies to stop
crying is to put on your show and their first
A lot of times.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
I hear you know what his first word was, and
it's not mama, it's not daddy, it was you or
in this case, were.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
So cute, wonderful, wonderful, great, And.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
The concert was amazing.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
I mean, Cody and Kick gosh, I can't even tell you.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Keith was great, the Stars and Bars band, everybody, everybody,
Zach and Randy and Captain Kurt and Spencer and Cody.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
Of course, what a wonderful job. Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
It amazes me because we don't do this all that often,
although I think we're going to do it more often now.
But I said to them after the show, I said,
could you imagine if we actually did this a couple
of times in a row, how good it would sound.
Because it sounded like the record right right off the bat.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
It was amazing sound check.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
It sounded like the record, sounded like sounded like we had.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
This was our our fifth concert of the week, not
our first concert in three months. So thank you guys.
I agree.

Speaker 5 (14:13):
The people go bor them, they know their stuff. It
was a beautiful Here.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Check out this picture that a friend of ours, a
new friend of ours took.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
This is at the end. Those are the police officers
behind me. And look at this picture. My gosh, it
looks like a stadium. So wonderful. So this this, uh,
this event was you wanted it to be great, but
it's a couple of steps higher. It is, really is.
And we just had we just had a little late
breakfast early lunch, and several people came up and said, hey,

(14:44):
thank you, thank you for for helping a community.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
So it's terrific.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
And then we've been looking for locations and you know,
the hardest thing to find is a dirt road.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
I don't think it is hard. I think we've just
been in town. People have said there are rhones, you know,
look rememberable.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
I asked, sorry, I asked the woman at the hotel.
I asked Theresa at the hotel and she said, well, yeah,
there is one, because you're not going to take that
that vehicle up there. And I said, well, it's just
a dirt road. She said, oh no, it's like a
four wheel We're not looking for a four wheeler. We're
just looking for a road that's not paved, that looks
like you know the roads and dukes, right, But we

(15:22):
have been talking.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
About this hazard is so beautiful and a rugged, you
know mountain. It's the it's the coin of Appalachia, the zity,
so it's the backdrop for the show.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Really is amazing. It doesn't have to be.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Exactly like dudes, I think it would be better. Frankly,
a lot of that was phoned in California.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
I think it's well, no, I know you're not going
to find any of that, but I would like to
find a dirt road. This is really good, by the way.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
Yep, harshawn And it's it's exciting.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
You know.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
I mean, John is so talented. There's so many things
that can be done. So we talked about the concerts

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Now I want to go back to our friends have
made it because again twenty three states in Germany. But
a lot of those folks that are tried and true
friends are not fans anymore of their friends. And we
appreciate you so much because you really are so supportive.
There are different things here and there on this troop.
We were a bit overwhelmed. So some of you were asking, hey,

Speaker 1 (16:58):
And by the way, more likely we're going to have
another party in Vegas probably, it's not for sure.

to and from breakfast every ding nice and driving it
to the golf course.

Speaker 1 (18:01):

Speaker 2 (18:01):
And it's the same color as the motor home, which
is really cool. In fact, we're going to have our
dear friend Airbrush Tony do just a little subtle stuff
to the side of it. So It has the same
kind of swirly as a motor home. But it is
a not only as it is it a is it
a I didn't go to college?

Speaker 3 (18:23):

Speaker 4 (18:57):
But yeah, what we're saying, the spokes are great. They're
just like whatever we can do.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
And it's a funny story because they said, oh, well,
you know we we we loaned a vehicle. You know,
we're buying one. I think key Man bought one too.
But because they're so great to work with, you want
to work with them. And it was Aaron Tippin and
we found out he got a van and we're laughing. Sorry,
mister tipp And I don't know you that we.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
We have a well I did, I did.

Speaker 1 (19:21):

Speaker 1 (19:26):
You go, oh yeah, those guys are great and I
love hazard.

Speaker 5 (19:29):
Oh yeah he got a vand and they're like, well

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Hey, you know some kind I saw it.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Get shorty, they had a man Travolta.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Travolta drove a van and then all of a sudden
they sold out events.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Was the first van in the movies that had the
sliding doors on both sides.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
I done that.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
All of them do now, none of them did until
like like nineteen ninety six and nothing.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Get Look if you're a mom, yeah, I mean you
want a band.

Speaker 5 (19:53):
Brought all those kiddos. But you know, John Schneider should
have a raptor, and Aaron Tippin usually.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Get oh.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Sure, he's got all kinds of cool cars. By the way,
Aaron Tippon also has a winery. So maybe one time,
if we ever get into the show where we have guests,
they will have see if Aaron will come to the
show and we can we can talk about I'll separate
the two of you since you've insulted him.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
I didn't insult am I insulted the van.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
In a man's fan, You've insulted the man Ford.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
I can live with it because again being a forward girl.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
But what I want to say is the one guy
came and he was all about Mopart is either mopar or.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
No par, no car, and then no car okay, mo
par or no car? Got it? Okay?

Speaker 1 (20:38):
So anyway, but he looks at the raptors like, you
know what, even though it's a Ford, it's okay, all right,
I think I think that's great.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
So it's you said that dude's gonna drive something other
than a Mopar, that it's that I'm just lot aboard.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
So I love it, you know.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
And it's like, you know, there will be lots of
cars in our life, but as a birthday get that
seemed to it just meant to be.

Speaker 5 (21:01):
So it matches them on her home and it'll be amazing.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
And we again, we have just had the best time
here and the people have been so helpful and amazing.
And then our friends came from all over and they've
been great, and it was a big chaotic and we're
very understanding you know that things happen in concerts and
parties or whatever, and when you're doing a big old,
big old gala, I guess. But they were great. They

(21:25):
were just supportive of John and couldn't be nicer and
just have been wonderful.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yep, fantastic.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
But before we get out of here, we're going to
find a dirt road.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
We will guarantee you one. Hazard.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
There are a ton of dirt roads. We've just been
too busy to get on them.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Then found a place that I I believe is Dixie's
Body Shop. Found a place that I believe is perfect
for the hogs Nest Saloon.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Right, the hogs Nest Saloon spelled.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
With what spelled with two g's one or two g's
oh two gee's okay, I'm just wondering.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
And Boss Borr has two rs b O A R
R so and some beautiful places in downtown. You know,
you have to really find places to do car stuff,
Like there's a couple of one way streets. Hazard is
one of those one of those towns that eventually, as
you're coming down the two lane road, it splits off
and it's only one way, one track for a while.

Speaker 5 (22:30):
Like that is really cool.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
John Emery.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Time he goes by, he goes oh, this is gonna
be great for the show, so much fun. Hazard will
be very cummenting with that. The mayor, by the way,
the mayor, the mayor and.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Mayor I got a proclamation from and here's a picture
of that of me getting a proclamation from the mayor
on stage that night. We also want to thank the
folks that did the lighting and the sound. Oh my gosh,
it was fantastic. I had no idea that the lighting
was what it was because that was behind me. And
when I I saw these pictures, it was like, Oh
my god, why God, where is that? Who is Oh?

(23:04):
That's me.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
It's a beautiful It was great, great fun, beautiful venue.

Speaker 5 (23:08):
Tell everyone and what the mayor did and what did
we get.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
I got the key to the city, and we got
I am a duke, and you are.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
You're the King of the Duke.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
I'm the king of the King of the Duke's right,
and you are the duchess. Yes, you're the queen. But
what else helped me?

Speaker 5 (23:25):
We're Kentucky colonel.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Oh, we are Kentucky colonel, which is a big deal, folks.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
It's a big deal in Kentucky.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
So I was met not such a big deal in Ohio.
But it's a big deal, and it's a big big deal.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
It is.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
And that was so sweet because it was like duke
and duchess, but you're king of the dukes and then
we're both named Kentucky colonels and a lot of us
because I was born thirteen miles up the road.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Now, I was born here. I was born in.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Navier and my and John, I don't think John believe
me I was born down. But when I told John,
I said, you know, the Napor's kind of that area,
along with the Combs and some other families.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
Now, is it sure or not?

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Absolutely true? Absolutely true.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
They run the place, they run the joint.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
I mean, yeah, I should have said, show of fans,
how many Napiers do we.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Have out there?

Speaker 1 (24:13):
And and they're the badass people. I mean they're great,
they're great, but if you cross.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
They are the ones that get stuff done.

Speaker 5 (24:20):
Yeah, they're the ones that get stuff done.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
They get it done, and if you don't get it done,
they'll get you done.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
I didn't say it, but John, after being here for
a little while, he has figured out that that is
exactly the case.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
And they're everywhere.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Greg cousin, Greg, oh my gosh, wonderful.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
We're taxing at two am in the morning, making sure
things were done. We went to bed what like what
six thirty seven eight?

Speaker 4 (24:47):
I mean it was early.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
We were so beat Well, we watched we watched a
Wild Wild West. We did because we finished watching Reacher. Yeah,
so finished Reacher and uh still have some more time
time to go. It's interesting we're doing new shows and
old shows kind of one after the other. Reacher, though,
I tell you what, Reacher is so hard to stop watching.

(25:10):
It's like, now I understand when people say that jinge
watch now. Dukes was always was always a show, and
then the show had nothing to do with the next show.
There wasn't a cliffhanger from show to show. There was
from it for the commercials. You know, y'all don't go
to the refrigerator now, you know. So we were king
of the cliffhanger within an hour long show. But my god, Reacher,

(25:33):
like you're watching it, you go o, I don't do it.
Don't do it, oh man, And now you know you
can just go ahead and watch watch next week. So
we watched all three seasons over the last month or so,
and I think it's great. I'm particularly proud of Alan
because Alan was Aquaman on Dukes And now I think

(25:54):
Reacher is the is the highest rated show on cable. Really,
I think it is.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Everyone talked about it. But I did liked this scene
that John showed me. The scene weren't Tom Welling. Of course,
Clark ken going to be Superman. And then all of
a sudden was a Lana or a Laurie or it.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
Was a Lewis Lois Okay, it.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Was Lewis Lowis Lane. I think Lana or well, well
there's Lana, Lana Lang and Lois Lane.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
But but Alan came out of the water. He went, oh,
he saved he saved something.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
But he saved her.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
But Clark went in, as you know, with his superpowers,
and was trying to swim to go get her, and
this thing went an aquamantic right by him, right by him,
and he and he was talking to Chloe, and he said,
something's going on. Something's going on here. He said, why
is that? He said, because I went in there to
get her and this guy swims really, really, really good.
And she said, what do you mean. He said, he's

(26:46):
faster than I am. And she of course knows about
his superpowers. Because at the at the school, she kind
of wrote about them in the beginning, but she was like, hmm,
and then this guy comes out.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
And and uh and he's huge, but not as big
as is now.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
He was swimmer big then you know, he looked he
looked great because I remember.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
I remember because you, honey, shut your muscle.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
You have to, it's too good.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
John has still been doing an elect electrocution suit every
three days and he is getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
So shot your muscle.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
It's so big. Woo, look at that.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
It's pretty good.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
Being that's big, pretty good.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
He's people are going, oh, stop at you, vain.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I asked you to, but not going, hey, what's that?
But people do ask John about the suit like this great.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
They weren't get it.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
I'm still a little scared of it because it would
have fit like short circuits.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
So but so far, so good.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Short circuit you and shock you, yes, well, it's pretty
shock you. That's what it's supposed to do. We've been
going to the little gym here too, and the gym
here is great, by the way, so thank you mister
Mike for that too.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
And hazard that's the place.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
It's a Hilton.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
It's Hilton.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
Were Hilton di'mond members? We Hilton.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
I just well I got that through marriage. Well I
was not a Hilton Diamond member, but now he is.
It was a you know, a rest area near you diamond.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
Member and you were not a board driver and now
you are.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
Well I've had an expedition.

Speaker 5 (28:15):
Oh that's true.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
And an excursion.

Speaker 5 (28:17):
Yeah, well, okay, you got me.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
You're right.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
You've had had Fords.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
I love Ford.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
My thought about Fordes is Fords, other than a Mustang,
they're always just you know, very wonderfully dependable.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Practical cars. But there's nothing cool about them a Mustang.
But then when they did.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Explorer is not a cool car, but it does it
does have a massage, which is cool it. But then
when they came out with the Bronco, because remember I
got when the new Challenger first came out, which I
think they did that because Ford had done such a
great job with the the new old styled Mustang, so

(28:56):
they came out with a Challenger to try to compete
with that, which they've done really really well.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Challenger is a great car.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
But I just when that Bronco came out, I thought, now,
that's cool, but it's too small. Then when the Raptor
came out, it was like, yep, just like I said.
When I first saw it, I didn't know it was mine.
I saw it. We were eating over at Applebee's and

(29:24):
this truck backs into a parking space and I saw
it over DD's shoulder.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
I said, now there's a badass vehicle.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
I'm like, I'm glad you like it. And she's like,
what was your first car, Honey, your very first car?

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Seventy four Ford? Love it right, Capri?

Speaker 3 (29:45):
Is that a Capri?

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Got a Ford Mercury, Ford Lincoln Mercury seventy four Capri?

Speaker 3 (29:52):
God, I love that little car. It was a four speed.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
If you don't know what a standard shift is, google it,
but that's what it now. Back in my day, if
you don't know how to drive a standard shift, then
you just weren't cool.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
And yes, I know that General Lee was an automatic,
but that.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
There's a whole lot of reasons for that. The challenger
on the earls of Perry is also automatic. The challenger
on standing on it, standing on it, stay here, then
poker run. They're also automatics because it's easier to do
the stunts with them.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Well, I love that that was your first car, but
my first car was better, and I mentioned, but I
love this car.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
I wish I still had it.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
My first car was a sixty six or Mustang convertible,
baby blue, and let me tell you.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
Everyone wanted it.

Speaker 5 (30:43):
It was gorgeous, and you wish I still had it.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
If I find went, I think we'll just have to
pick it up.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
It's an automatic or a shift.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
There is automatic, but I did learn on the stick shift.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
I did learn to drive the stick shift. Yeah, I
don't know if I could do it anymore.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
But oh you remember. It's funny how you rem It's
like a motorcycle, you remember.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
But yeah, it's just been an incredible trip.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
It's been magical and everything's gone so well.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
And so our next our next goal is to uh
get all the proper things so that we can tow.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
We can tow the raptor behind the motorhome.

Speaker 5 (31:14):
In the motorhome matches a raptor have we set up before.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
But it's perfect, we're saying, We're saying, it's really great.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Blue and black with a little silver with a little silver.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Gorgeous.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, Okay, so what's going on? In your world? How
are you? Have you been watching the stock market?

Speaker 4 (31:32):
Boy? That's what's interesting.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Tariffs, Hello, terriffs, I know, but but yesterday it had
the one of the greatest days ever. I don't know
what it's doing. I don't know what what day you're
watching this, but you know it's gonna take uh, it's
going to take some adjustment time. And like I said
last week, I have to remember, there are people out
there who desperately want to be right, so they have

(31:56):
uh gargantuan holdings in the STUF. So what I think
happened in the last not yesterday, yesterday, I'll tell you
what I think happened yesterday. That's the one when the
Dow went up like twenty nine hundred points. But in
the days before that, people were selling off their stocks

(32:17):
so that the market would go down. Because that's what
happens when people say you've heard about a selloff, Well,
when people start selling their stocks, they can do that.
So if you've got a bunch of a bunch of
cronies that want to manipulate the stock market down, it's
not illegal.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Manipulate maybe is the wrong?

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Is the right word?

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (32:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Maybe it's George Soros manipulate.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
But it's it's George sorows and it's and it's Bill Gates,
and it's it's people who want to have want to
prove a point. But here's here's the thing. Because I
had somebody say, well, you know, they're not rich. They're
not they're they're not rich because they're stupid. Why would
they lose money, Well, they didn't lose money because they
rode those stocks all the way, all the way up

(32:58):
to an inflated price. Any way, So when they sold
their holdings in whatever, they sold their holdings in uh
Tesla for example, because everybody was buying Tesla stock for
a long time because as far as the left was concerned,
Elon Musk was God's gift to the Green New Deal
until until guess what. But so what they did is
they sold their holdings off of which they had thousands

(33:21):
and thousands, if not millions, of shares. So they probably
sold a portion of their holdings off and laughed as
the stock market plummeted, while publicly they were, oh, you
see the tariffs, they're bad, they're bad. The tariffs have
nothing to do with the stock market. The stock market
is people are confident, so they hold on to their stocks.
People are scared, so they sell them. But here's the

(33:46):
difference between us and George Soroos is that George, when
he sold a million shares of XYZ company, he made
a couple of billion dollars.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
So yesterday when the stock market, when the Dow went up.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Twenty nine hundred points, which is unheard of, why did
that happen. That's because people like him now sold at
a premium. Now they're buying at a fire sale rate,
so they will always make money. So that's what they're
doing now. Now. The day after that, it went down
a little bit again, but it's the stock market has
absolutely nothing whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
To do with the global economy.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Now, the stock market will affect the global economy, but
it's not based on anything real.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
It's based on belief that something is good. So it's
based on confidence and fear.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
That's all it is.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
So don't let them fool you. Do not let them
fool you.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
There.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
I watch it. I watch it and I laugh. I
just think it's hysterical.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Well, you know, we get a lot of suggestions about
what to do on the show, and I always ask
and I appreciate we do read everything.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
One person, one friend said, well, you know, maybe you.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Should go around Hazzard and just like say, you know,
they give stories about hazard or what they like about
the Dukes of Hazard or how that affected them and
make it just a teeny like documentary like thirty minutes
an hour or whatever. And I think it might be fun,
but we have already people are already doing that every day.
They say, well, you know, and it was kind of

(35:20):
like putting the kids to sleep, or I remember one
gal said that, you know, I got in big trouble
because on a marker on a new car said I
love Bo Duke and they got grounded. She got grounded
because they marked up the new car in black mark
or probably sharpie or like permanent marker. And she said
she'd never been in so much trouble in our life,

(35:41):
but whenever she said I love Bo Duke all over
the car and yeah, that would do it, and just.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Whip she said.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
Michael Knight, well, oh gosh, yeah, but a lot of David.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
A lot of Dukes of Hazzard stories, but especially around
here because people Benny thought it was Kentucky. Uh, you know,
when I've told the story before John because he's like, well,
you know that it was fictional in Georgia. I said,
I know, I grew up, my folks are from there.
I know the difference between the hazard with Onnesaie and
the hazard with Tuesday. But I love it Besterally bringing

(36:13):
a lot of nice attention to this area. And you know,
cousin Gregg said, this was like the biggest tourism uh
lure for a very long time.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
You know, it's really gotten a lot of Yes, we've
got more or more people from them, you said, twenty
two states.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Yeah, but and Bert and.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Bert, but even even the press and even tourism in
po ANDUS. Oh and by the way, we're here, but
we live in Madison, Indiana. And they were just voted
yet again the best small town in the Midwest. And
that's a USA today pol So who We're very proud
of Madison.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
I'm proud of Mayor bib Bob.

Speaker 5 (36:49):
And they're dealing with flooding, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Fortunately hazard missed it this time because they've they've gotten
enough flooding.

Speaker 4 (36:55):
They've had to do it a lot.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
But unfortunately folks along the river as they're getting just
they're really getting it. So, you know, lots of good
vibes to Madison and Cincinnati, Louisville, and you know all
the books that have been flooded, and western Kentucky's gotten
it really bad to just a lot of places in
the country.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
They're suffering.

Speaker 5 (37:15):
But fortunately Hassard was skipped over this time.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
They deserve a break, they certainly do. We are looking
at a building to be the hogs nest. It's right
on the there's a you know, are.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Their misfortune is going to wind up at least for
a little.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
While being our gain because there's a whole series of
businesses that are right near the restaurant we had lunch
breakfast that are that got flooded by the river. All
the right on the river. I mean like like you
step out the back door and take one step too many,
you're in the river, right, you're in the river. So
the this one place I think used to be the

(37:53):
restaurant we tried to go to the other morning Francis France.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
I always want to say tapern but I think it's
cafe or something.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
But we try to go there, but it was closed.
They got flooded.

Speaker 5 (38:03):
Recooping they were still trying to recover them from the flood.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
But their original place is what we're looking at for
the hogs nest. So I'm excited about that because what
we're going to do, we'd come into town and we
would rent a place, rent some places for a.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
Couple of months. You know, we're not going to move in.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Camp like base Camp, but for the hogs nest, for
Dixie's body shop, there's a place right right on the
where the road is two lane, just before it splits
into one way coming into Hazard proper.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
So we're looking at that. We have a wonderful place.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
I haven't seen yet, but John is supposed to show
us that today that he said would be perfect for
Boss Hoggs house or Boss pardon me, Boss Boor's house.
But what's so great is all I have to do
is I tell people, Look, we're not filming the Dukes
of Hazzard, but we're filming something that looks a lot
like it.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Where should we go?

Speaker 2 (38:58):
What can you show me? Right? They know right away, Oh, yeah,
it's so and so such and such a place. So
it's really going to be terrific. And then finally, after
all these years and decades, when somebody looks at the
Earls of Perry and talks to somebody from Hazard or
from Perry County. They'll say, hey, that is that show
shot there in Perry County. They'll be able to say,

(39:19):
you bet it is. And I want that to happen.
I want to be I want to be a part
of the team that makes that happen. And it looks
like that's exactly what you do.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
Filming is a great economic development and it's also bonding
for the community.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
And people love it.

Speaker 5 (39:34):
They love to be in shows and.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Extra most clouds come overhead.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
Sorry, the light just keeps changing it here because of
the clouds.

Speaker 5 (39:42):
It's so beautiful.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
Oh yeah, we can't quite.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
Make up its mind today. It wants to be cloudy
or sunny.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
But there's something special about Hazard and about this part
of Kentucky Appalachia with the mountains.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
There's a different it's community.

Speaker 5 (39:56):
I'm talking about the look of it.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
But yeah, that's the look of it. That the water
was green.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
It's just just magical. It's just so beautiful in a
rugged sort of way. And think that the backdrop for
the show will be amazing. And they did Next to
Ken and then there was another movie. But I cannot
remember the name of it.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
Steven Siegal did a movie here, yes, and what's really cool,
I don't have I don't have any pictures of it
right now. I'm to show some more next week. But
there's a hazard is down in a in a valley, right,
So there there's a road if you want to skip town,
which I never recommend you skip town, but if you're
in a hurry. That didn't sound right. I never recommend

(40:35):
you don't drive by the local places. But there is
a way here to drive up on the mountain side
and look down on hazards so beautiful. So we're going
to use that shot a lot. It's gonna look like
a drone shot, but it's not. You can just shoot
it out the window of your car, which is pretty cool.
So and when you look down you see the railroad tracks,

(40:56):
and you see the river and the beautiful bridge, and
then you see the town itself.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
Are trying to get my attentions, rub my back which
revenue back?

Speaker 1 (41:09):
Oh okay, all right, thank you, and being attentive and
being attentive play thank you.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
Ah, that feels good. So we are headed to a
dear friend's daughter's birthday party.

Speaker 5 (41:21):
The Wallace is Royal of racing.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Yep, they came to uh, they came to see perfect Crime.
And by the way, hey perfect crime cast, Hey cast
mads Hey, everybody, we miss you.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
We think about you every day.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
And you know what, New York City is very different
than Hazard, Kentucky. It is We love our country. You
you get everything in here. There's no reason to even lane.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
We talk about it all the time. Oh leave the
country of how we don't relate.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
Some people have a reason to leave the.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Country, right, But it's so and there's so much here
and you know, we're just very fortunate to be in
the country we live in. And you know there's so
much chaos and on the parts of the world, and
you're really really very very blessed, unfortunate.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
We already have any like current topics you'd like to
discuss or anything.

Speaker 5 (42:06):
I'm discussing them now.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
This is just like train of thought, like rambling.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
It's not rambling.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Okay, let me say this can love the podcast. Well, Vicky,
you know she put that together with Bert Listens and
Burt whatever and liasons and then you know this was
from the Appalachia, Kentucky Appalachia Foundation and you're really going
to give us something after everything you've done, I mean,
and we have gift after gift as a gift. People

(42:33):
are so generous, and I do want to apologize because
a lot of times this is what happens. It happened
with our wedding parties. People just put stuff in the
back of the car and it's like the cards are
over here, the gift us here, and then we don't
know who to because what keeps happening. So this time
we're trying to keep the cards in the bag that

(42:55):
in and then that they weren't in, and.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Then especially we've moved them twice in see, yeah, it's
very doing.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
And so anyway, folks, if you've ever given us a gift,
we really really thank you. And people are so generous.
They're so generous and we appreciate it. But never feel
like you can't say, hey, did you enjoy that whatever
you gave? You know we gave you, I mean, because
it's just ya overwhelming.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
And then when you.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Remember you're at the venue, and then everybody, oh, let's
pick it up, and it keeps happening more. It goes
in the back and then the cards over here, and
then we don't want very well.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
Very well meaning people, very well right, they will grab
all the cards and put them together, and all the
gifts and put them together.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
Even if together, even if there's two.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Gifts and two cards and they're separated, then we don't
You don't know who gave what.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
You don't know who gave what. So we welcome you
to say.

Speaker 5 (43:45):
Hey, or even ask as a favor, Hey, I gave
you this, did you like?

Speaker 4 (43:50):
Go to whatever?

Speaker 1 (43:50):
And that will be wonderful. And but we have a
ton of gifts and bags in the room that we're
going to go through. And I know, John, you have
like a group of ladies, Bill and Mary, Lou and
Stacey brought it and they give you gifts every year.

Speaker 4 (44:04):
This is well before me me.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
These ladies have been with John a long time and
they are excited about you opening.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
And it's a box of stuff.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
So exactly where that is, we know what that has
their name on, has their name on the box they've burned.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
You know, they get it, you know, because life can
be wonderfully chaotic, but with the gifts, he keeps happening.
And now hopefully this time we'll get it right. And
if we don't, let us know, but thank you, thank you.

Speaker 4 (44:29):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
It's just just know your your generosity is greatly appreciated.
You appreciate it. It was a wonderful birthday. Sixty five,
My goodness, when sixty five. Oh, speaking of that Appleby's
the other night, she was saying that we had this
kind of after after.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
After a party because we had the planned That's just.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
No, we had we had some drama with the coaching
behind the coach behind the place and the bus and
trying to get it anyway out anyway.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
There was some there was some stuff back there.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Yeah. But Keith Burns and I, you know, the concerts,
sound checking in the concert. I don't do concerts every day, right,
so it kind of takes a bit out of your back,
out of your voice. But I tell you what really
took it out of me was Keith and I singing
along with the Don Henley and Glenn Fry with all
the Eagles songs that were being played out jukebox. And

(45:23):
there was some folks across the way. Did you film
any of that?

Speaker 4 (45:26):
Maybe?

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Okay, some folks across the way were filming it, and
we were just going for it, and well sometimes we
sounded great.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
And next morning.

Speaker 4 (45:36):
Maybe sometimes it was.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
Just too high, but I was trying.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
I was trying, but it was so much fun to
sit there with with Keith and just try to blast
those notes out.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
Was wonderful. I want to thank him again for coming.

Speaker 5 (45:49):
I think we also think that our friends they came
because they really had to wait patiently.

Speaker 4 (45:53):
Because I'll just say what happened.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
So we were there and in the people in hazard
loved on some months. They just wouldn't leave. They would
not leave, and we had the police there, but then
they took off and whatever. And then it was the
birthday party, so point being as everyone wanted to be
with John, so everything took a little longer. Everything was
but hectic. But our friends they just were there waiting patiently. Yes,

(46:17):
they didn't say where for, so I have to say
that was really cool, So thank you. And they drove
and they flew a long way.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
They brought gifts and if we if we if we
wound up, if we left before we had a chance
to hug your neck and thank you. I sincerely apologize
some other things going on another things with the coach
and stuff that was like have to go address it.
So thank you for showing up. Thank you for being
part of my sixty fifth birthday. We'd be part of

(46:47):
my second sixties.

Speaker 5 (46:49):
People were rocking. I'm joking that didn't happen, but it was.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
Just kind of I'd like to see him crying. I'd
like to see him.

Speaker 4 (46:59):
That part didn't have, But it's great.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
The band was great.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
I'm so grateful to have the Stars and Bars band.
It was just wonderful. And what else should we talking about?
She got to be some.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
Current topics you would like to discuss. I mean, she's
the one, she's the one that was on Fox, did
all that stuff. Yeah, but she's the one with the Emmy.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
But now you know, I just support you and we
do our thing. There's plenty to do. There's a lot
of business to be done.

Speaker 5 (47:30):
So at some point in time, you know.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
This is something that refuses to talk about current events.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
I don't refuse to talk about current events, Okay, I
kind of like to steer away from them.

Speaker 5 (47:42):
Politics, because that's where you get just whacked. Everybody loves
you except for that the liberals hate what he says.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
And I'm like, okay, we've got enough of that. Do
I really need to say more than you do, I
don't need to add you say enough.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
That's amazing, because when we're not doing this, you have
plenty to add them.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
I know, but I don't.

Speaker 5 (48:01):
This is supposed to be entertaining.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
I think it's very entertaining.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
I know you do politics.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
I love Donald Trump, I'll say that. I love Hazard Kentucky,
I love Madison, Indiana. I love John Schneider, and I'm
just all about love right now.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
So he's so far from where we are right now.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
Is JD.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Van's from, oh maybe twenty minutes Jackson, I'm so Jackson. Yeah, yeah,
we did. And if you've seen the thank you for
bringing that up. He'll Billy Ellergy amazing. So Hell of
Billy Ellogy is a movie about J. D. Mans's childhood
and it was rough. You know, this can be a
rough area. And they were very poor and struggled, and

(48:41):
his mother had a drug addiction so Mema or Mamma
Mamma took care of him.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
But it was roughed, really rough.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
And now the man is president of the United States
and he is from Appalachia.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
He's Vice President of the United States.

Speaker 5 (48:56):
Well, maybe I'm taking import.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
You're thinking about twenty twenty eight, I already.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Had I'm already head but yeah, me to visit and
blame me. We loved on Trump vond and then JD.
Vans is amazing. You know, he was a marine tup
and he he goes over to Europe and says, you're
doing it wrong, you're doing it wrong, You're doing it right.

Speaker 4 (49:14):
And this guy right up the road, yeah, right up
the right, right, and there is a holler.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
And you know, and here's the thing, I mean Hazard,
you know Nicole work during and coal like the Black
Gold Festival at Hazard was a if you've seen a
Haszard town hall.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
My gosh, I mean, oh gosh, it's beautiful.

Speaker 5 (49:34):
It's Beverly Hills.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
I mean it's beauty.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
Fact, here's a picture of it.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Check that out.

Speaker 5 (49:38):
Yeah, it's beautiful.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Here's called Harry County Building, the County Courthouse. Uh, I think, yeah,
And it's all gorgeous. Be you go to Jackson and
it's a little.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Big well they're right at the foot of the mountain
and you can tell that the mountain washed down onto
the main road a bit. So they're they're they're they're
u fixing that up. And again it's it's mountain it's
road and it's a little bit of a hill and
then it's river. So uh, it's that these folks here
are working so hard.

Speaker 5 (50:09):
They are all of the time, and they just keep
getting the water.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
And my mother, you know, I'm a neighbor. My mother
and Nancy neighbor, and there are nine kids in her family.
Sometimes they didn't have enough food to eat and was
really poor like jd Vance's family. So they appreciate their
very appreciative people understanding that situation. And uh, Jackson is
the area of course jade Van's and also were my

(50:32):
mother and she went to breath at high school. And
they call Breathat County Bloody Breatha because turn of the
century they're.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
Just shooting each other.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
I mean it was rough, really rough. But my point
is is Hazard versus Jackson. Hazard was sort of the
rich people. Okay, well, it's a coal industry, coal industry here,
but Jackson and Jackson.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
This is where they go when they went to town.
Well in here like Mountain Pilot.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
And here's why.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
See, I mean, there are so many stories here. The
show rights it up and you could do a movie
forget next to Kid. This is next of the real Kid.
You know, but breath it and I believe it's still
a dry county.

Speaker 4 (51:11):
But it was a dry county.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
I think it might still because in Kentucky they still
have dry counties. Hazard of course is not where you know,
we're we can find our liquor here and sell the moonshine.
But in Breadth it it's I think it's still dry.
So they would come to town, they get their liquor,
or they'd go across the county line.

Speaker 5 (51:29):
I mean, it's fascinating world here.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
You know, this is in It's was you know the
one thing that that Duke's was not because we shot
it in California and it's easy to shoot on the
flat land. We had hills and things. But once we
moved from Georgia to California, it's it kind of it lost.
It's it's you know, and I think too it's it

(51:55):
was not detrimental to the show at all, because that's
when it became funny and lighthearted and so thing that
our little we kiddos could watch. So what we're going
to try to do with Earls and Earls of Perry
is make it both because we're gonna we're gonna shoot
it here, So it is innately going to be you know,
rough and rugged kind of like what was that show that.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Justified Justified?

Speaker 2 (52:20):
I think was shot in the in the in the
hills at least, or a show I did years ago
called Christy Christie. We shot in the mountains of Tennessee
or the hills of Tennessee anyway. So it's gonna have
a bit of a different vibe to it, but it's
gonna a different look to it. But it's gonna be funny.
It's not gonna be slapstick. But we're gonna jump cars,

(52:41):
we're gonna have a have a great, great time. But
we're never gonna forget that the river is right over there,
and at anytime the river gets angry, the river can
take it all away. That's what the.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
Folks here have to live with.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
And I wanted to take Johnam to see where I
was born, which is home place clinic speaking of. And
they they do not deliver babies anymore there, and they
hadn't for a long time.

Speaker 5 (53:03):
But now there's a very good reason.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
What is that because the building washed away. Yeah, so
the river took that away.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Troublesom Creek took it away. Will absolutely be.

Speaker 5 (53:16):
Named in the show.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
And Look It's Troublesome, Yeah, and it's beautiful around here,
and look next to can and then the steven Sagall movie.
But really, I don't think for a very long time
that this area has been featured. And the people are
so appreciative, they're so excited. They know what they've got here.
That's why you know they keep getting bloods, but they're
not leaving.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
They love it.

Speaker 5 (53:38):
It's home, it's beautiful. There's not a prettier part of
the country.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
There aren't country as gorgeous, but there's something special about Hazard, Brethay, County, Jackson,
all of it. The Appalachia is really something. And the
people are different, and the accent is different. It's really wonderful.
I love it.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
Oh yeah. A couple of times I say what what?
I'm sorry in a good way, in a good way,
But sometimes I just can't. I can't quite understand.

Speaker 4 (54:03):
I remember the Scots.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
There are a lot of almost Allays got Irish here,
so I mean there's something about how it transformed into
this accent. And it's gorgeous and the people are lovely
and warm and friendly. But if you cross them, I'm
feel sorry. For you, not really, because if you cross them,
you probably deserve what you're gonna get.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
So absolutely, I'm going to side on I'm gonna side
on the hazard folk.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Yeah, and you know, matter what, and I think we're
pretty much do we hear.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
Here a dog bark or something.

Speaker 4 (54:31):
Yeah, we've got three minutes left.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
But we may have mentioned it in the past show,
But whenever we first wanted to do this, my dear
friend Shannon, and she worked for Congressman Hal Rogers, has said,
who can we work with where we can make sure
the money goes to the right place we don't want
any and she got it right away. Of course she's
one of my Kentucky's sisters, so she said, John Stacy
and he's with the.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
Foundation Apia Foundation.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Yeah, Kentucky, And for sure they have been great. But
the first thing everybody he asked, who are your people?

Speaker 5 (55:04):
Very much, because.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
Scott's it's very much a clam mentally if you're not
from the area, you know, they want to know about
you whatever.

Speaker 5 (55:09):
Now, Sooner said, oh, you know, my mom is a naper.

Speaker 4 (55:11):
I'm naked.

Speaker 5 (55:12):
Okay, I'll go ahead, don't worry, come on in whatever
you want.

Speaker 3 (55:16):
What they tell us about it. I won't say who
the actor was, but it's but it's Steven Seagal.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
He was he was somewhere here filming the movie that
he was filming, and he went, I don't know if
it was.

Speaker 4 (55:27):
Isn't it terrible?

Speaker 2 (55:27):
We don't know, get a car or something, but but uh,
or get a car fixed. I don't know. But but
he wound up saying the thing that the folks who
are famous should never say, uh.

Speaker 4 (55:37):
You know who I am?

Speaker 2 (55:38):
You know who I am? And the guy said, who
are you? I'm not sure, but who are your people?
They don't care because his assumption was that, well, if
you don't know, then I don't know, so I'm not sure.
So uh it's it's really a terrific place. I'm looking
forward to being here for I don't know. You know,
we're going to do uh, I hope we're going to
do five shows.

Speaker 3 (55:59):
I keep saying that what was he just did?

Speaker 2 (56:01):
I'm halfway through the second episode writing in my experiences, once,
once you get two under your belt, the third one
becomes easier, fourth ones easier. It becomes a little easier
to do because you kind of stumble onto the recipe
and I don't think we should rush.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
I mean, if we're not running to do it, we
don't do it. Even if it gets moved back, it
gets moved.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Bout No, not that hat. If you say no, we're
gonna We're not gonna rush, We're gonna put this show. Well,
I'm doing this okay, and I'm folding clothes.

Speaker 4 (56:31):
Oh my gosh, that's yet.

Speaker 2 (56:33):
Oh And I want to thank Cody for this. Not
only did he give me this hat, but he took
my stand on it hatt.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
What did I do with your boots?

Speaker 2 (56:42):
Folding them up?

Speaker 5 (56:43):
That's what he does.

Speaker 4 (56:44):
He puts everything away and folds it up. He is Dorman.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
There's a place for everything, and everything in its place.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
So Cody also took my stand on it hat, the
one I wore last week, and he he reshaped it.
He cleaned it first because it was a mess, and
he reshaped it. So thank you, cod.

Speaker 3 (57:04):
We got to figure out a way to get back
through Doune Laft so I can get my sname.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
Man.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
Anyhow, folks, I think that's about all the time we have,
unless you'd like to mention anything about current events.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
I am so happy to be in Hazard. That's my
current event. And so happy that John had an.

Speaker 4 (57:22):
A piller hut water see birthday.
