Speaker 2: on them. We had to open the car up poor
Speaker 2: a little gas in, leave it halfway open so it
Speaker 2: still gets air to figure out where the where it's
Speaker 2: losing fuel at.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2: That's a great instrument that what you met at because
Speaker 2: that's about minds, a little inside what you had that
Speaker 2: inside ball today. And I'm i gotta go last because
Speaker 2: it's gonna it's probably going into a conversation. Cool, cool,
Speaker 2: what you mean? Just tell us what it is? What

Speaker 1: on the way. We tried to do little ditties throughout
Speaker 1: the show Man. That's pretty cool. Man. Here's what I'm
Speaker 1: mad at, bro. I'll go first. I'm mad at you
Speaker 1: don't want to offer the guests to go for now.
Speaker 1: It's about me today. We'll hear it. So my kids.
Speaker 3: I usually am grabbing about my kids being awake all
Speaker 3: through the night. Well, they slept in their bed all
Speaker 3: night last night. But my sixteen week old puppy decided
Speaker 3: it would just throw up in the kettle. Oh at
Speaker 3: three fifteen of the morning.
Speaker 1: Oh man, a dog throw up too.
Speaker 2: Like when you said my sixteen year old puppy threw up,
Speaker 2: I heard sixteen year old puppy sixteen week old. When
Speaker 2: you said that, I heard it had like this yeah,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I know it's coming. Yeah, it's like a.
Speaker 5: What is that?
Speaker 2: And it doesn't yeah, it doesn't like it's not like
Speaker 2: it's like for a second you have that like my
Speaker 2: dog hurt.
Speaker 4: It's like, oh yeah, my dog.
Speaker 1: Is like twelve years old, probably almost thirteen years old.
Speaker 1: He's old guy.
Speaker 4: And every once in a while to get the hacking,
Speaker 4: but you don't know if he's gonna if he's like,
Speaker 4: because if you can't see him, you're wondering, like, is
Speaker 4: he just barking in his sleep, because you know they
Speaker 4: make that kind of that same like and then you
Speaker 4: like yeah, and then he just goes full full vomit,
Speaker 4: and then it's yeah.
Speaker 2: So I get a dog. Dogs it doesn't look like
Speaker 2: our vomit either. It's like usually when they it's just
Speaker 2: like it's like what they ate.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it looks crazy.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 4: Now my dog ate a whole summer sausage one day
Speaker 4: when we were gone, Like I'm talking red like a
Speaker 4: red wax and everything. Oh dude, it look like crap.
Speaker 1: Every time. It was terrible, and it smelled God.
Speaker 3: Off a minute, I feel like it smells worse than ours.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it smells anyway, why are we talking so.
Speaker 1: Much about it?
Speaker 2: So I got about it too, I got it out,
Speaker 2: but it I couldn't go back to sleep, you know,
Speaker 2: because you do the full cleaning, right like I have
Speaker 2: to do the full cleaning. So by this time, it's
Speaker 2: like three fifty and I lay down just like staring
Speaker 2: at the ceiling. So I'm like, well, maybe I should
Speaker 2: just scroll on TikTok or Instagram for forty five hours,
Speaker 2: you know, until the sun comes up, and then you
Speaker 2: happen and then you always and you always fall asleep
Speaker 2: right when it's like twenty minutes from time to swear
Speaker 2: you to be awake.
Speaker 1: You know, it's the best way to go to sleep.
Speaker 4: And then it's just like might even go to slap
Speaker 4: it makes even more sleepy.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. And so today I feel like
Speaker 3: I'm I'm walking around hazy and this is this is.
Speaker 3: I have two things to prove it. One, while I
Speaker 3: was in the shop, I did like a you know
Speaker 3: how you have like your like clean up showers, then
Speaker 3: you have your like for real showers. Now you like
Speaker 3: scrub everything and like shave and maybe you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It sounds like the quick guysh you shave before you
Speaker 1: get in the shower. No, I'm in the I'm in
Speaker 1: the shower. You shave in the shower. Yeah, don't.
Speaker 2: I just don't understand that I can go by feet
Speaker 2: like a mirror in your shower. I feel, dude, I
Speaker 2: know exactly how to line it. Usually, I mean sometimes
Speaker 2: I check. It's a talent people who's shaving the shower,
Speaker 2: and people who brush their teeth in the shower.
Speaker 1: Kind of weird.
Speaker 4: Man, I don't brush my teeth brush your teeth in
Speaker 4: the shower. Yeah, there's something wrong with y'all.
Speaker 1: I don't know what.
Speaker 2: People don't either toothbrush and toothpastely in the shower.
Speaker 1: This is how I know I'm off. They must be
Speaker 1: brushing just their teeth. Brother, I don't know. That's weird.
Speaker 1: That's weird. So I go to deep clean. I go
Speaker 1: deep clean. That's what I call it. This is the
Speaker 1: deep clean shower.
Speaker 3: Shows like this is like like short shower, deep clean,
Speaker 3: like deep clean.
Speaker 2: She's like, okay, I'll get the baking all my showers.
Speaker 2: It takes a little bit longer. So I go with
Speaker 2: like conditioner to condition my hair, you know, And as
Speaker 2: soon as I put it on.
Speaker 1: My hand, I went like this and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: slimmy arm pits.
Speaker 2: This one, just this one, just the right one. So
Speaker 2: then I get in the car and I got a
Speaker 2: protein shake. I mean, I got my prote born and
Speaker 2: my cell phone and I went to plug up my
Speaker 2: not all the way, but I was like grabbed my
Speaker 2: cable and.
Speaker 1: I was like you went to plug up your protein.
Speaker 1: J Yeah, man, more protein in it to put a
Speaker 1: charge on it. I guess that's awesome. That's why I'm mad.
Speaker 3: I'm mad at my dog throwing up and just messing
Speaker 3: up the end. And we're only a couple hours end
Speaker 3: of the day.
Speaker 1: Quick quick clean thing. Uh.
Speaker 2: I Jordan just recently found out that I washed my
Speaker 2: face with shampoo. She's I was like, man, when I'm
Speaker 2: in the shower talking, when I was like, when I
Speaker 2: was showered, I just you know, I was like, when
Speaker 2: I washed my face.
Speaker 1: It feels dry.
Speaker 2: And she's like, yeah, because you're washing your face with shampoo.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So she got me like, I just I just
Speaker 1: wanted you're not supposed to watch the face with shampoo.
Speaker 4: I used to do that thing too, Yeah, and just
Speaker 4: got your nose and like yeah.
Speaker 2: And so she was like she was I'm gonna get
Speaker 2: you some face stuff. So one night I'm going in
Speaker 2: there to put my contacts or take my contacts out,
Speaker 2: and I see two bottles of one says face cleanser
Speaker 2: and then one says moisturizer. And she's like, you need
Speaker 2: some moisturizer put on your face. So I was like Okay,
Speaker 2: I just kind of started using them as I didn't
Speaker 2: read the instructure or anything.
Speaker 1: Last night I put her. The other night, I put face.
Speaker 2: Cleanser on and I like put it on, and she
Speaker 2: was like, are you gonna wash that off? And I
Speaker 2: was like, what is like face lotion? She was like,
Speaker 2: that's soap. So like for the past two weeks, I've
Speaker 2: just been putting soap on my face and not washing
Speaker 2: it off.
Speaker 4: Yeah, how about you clean his face? Award clean his face?
Speaker 4: Award goes.
Speaker 1: So you know what, I think.
Speaker 4: I'm mad at the fact that you can line up
Speaker 4: your facial hair without a mirror. I'm new to the
Speaker 4: facial hair game, so I just recently started growing mine out.
Speaker 2: See that's crazy years on you. I mean I've been shaving.
Speaker 2: I was like seven, so I just seven on the
Speaker 2: jump start. Well, all right, it is the first time
Speaker 2: you shaved.
Speaker 1: How old were you? Do you remember? M I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I do remember.
Speaker 4: I had a like, like a really cheap razor, and
Speaker 4: because I was again new to this, and I didn't
Speaker 4: realize I needed like, you know, some sort of barbarasol
Speaker 4: or something, you know, like and so I was just
Speaker 4: going at it and man, I tell you, it was
Speaker 4: like it tickled, you know, but then also like, well
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, It's like yeah, so uh
Speaker 4: and then I definitely paid for it for the next
Speaker 4: three days with raizor burn.
Speaker 2: On the faces that rais the got yourn got your look?
Speaker 2: Your keep doing that?
Speaker 1: My what you're mad at?
Speaker 2: And this can lead into a conversation because I know
Speaker 2: you're all about this is the first time you try
Speaker 2: to start a lawnmower when it's mowing season.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, after it's been sitting all year.
Speaker 2: I was going through it yesterday, full start or electric
Speaker 2: start now skagged turf tiger dogs, brattery gone.
Speaker 1: So I didn't have one of those growing up.
Speaker 4: We you know us either we had to figure out
Speaker 4: we had to well, I mean, it was electric start,
Speaker 4: but you'd have to get the screwdriver over there and
Speaker 4: cross out the ceiling with that's right, that's right. But hey,
Speaker 4: every once in a while, so.
Speaker 2: I took, I took, I took the battery back, got
Speaker 2: a new battery, turned the other one, and got the
Speaker 2: court charge back.
Speaker 1: Brought it just joke nothing. I'm like, man, it's usually
Speaker 1: usually cranks right up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at the few I look, and I guy,
Speaker 2: I was like, maybe I can need gas, don't need gas?
Speaker 2: Gas is still in there? Which which, like, I mean,
Speaker 2: is that considered old gas?
Speaker 4: I mean, it definitely can if it's sits in like
Speaker 4: like condensation, if it's sitting outdoors, I mean, that could
Speaker 4: be part of it. But most of the time, I
Speaker 4: just which this is not a paid promotion, I throw
Speaker 4: some lucas oil, and if it's been sitting in a while,
Speaker 4: I throw some lucashole like high octane booster or like
Speaker 4: a color. I wouldn't do like a small engine. I mean,
Speaker 4: as much as fuel stabilizers good and like cars, I
Speaker 4: wouldn't do it in like a seafower, like, no, don't
Speaker 4: sea foam. But you definitely ain't starting it if you
Speaker 4: ain't got it running yet. Could you imagine that? Oh, man,
Speaker 4: just throw some seafoam in it before you even get running. Man,
Speaker 4: you would clog every single pore of that engine. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: throw some arts. I'll bring you some. I'll bring you some.

Speaker 2: We'll just like blew them all out. Like I just
Speaker 2: like cleared the lines.
Speaker 1: Is it like a new lawnmower.
Speaker 2: It's probably it's probably twenty ten, so it's probably.
Speaker 4: Not feel injected. It's probably carburetor. Probably, Yeah, you might
Speaker 4: just have some junk in the carburetor. Take that thing off,
Speaker 4: get your air compressor out and you're some I don't know,

Speaker 4: going to say that. Really hate those drum breaks. They're terrible.
Speaker 4: I just had a Recon two fifty and uh and well,
Speaker 4: I guess the Recon two fifty, the four tracks three hundred,
Speaker 4: five hundred, Yeah, the rebecond five hundred, those are kind
Speaker 4: of those aren't as bad as the front or disc
Speaker 4: breaks unless it's the older one.
Speaker 1: Six. I think that's a split year.
Speaker 3: So you know what people are telling me that they're
Speaker 3: not that they can't put breaks on anything with fifteen
Speaker 3: years or older.
Speaker 4: I'm like, dude, they're lying to you, but you just
Speaker 4: gotta put breakage because nobody likes they have drum breaks
Speaker 4: all the way around, because they don't want to do
Speaker 4: They're terrible.
Speaker 1: They're so hard.
Speaker 4: But it's hydraulic drum breaks, so it's like it's just
Speaker 4: a weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's no fun, Okay, but I'll do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you ain't got what, you ain't got time. We can
Speaker 1: do it together. It'd be fun. We can make an
Speaker 1: episode out of it in the shop.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've talked about this yet but
Speaker 2: I killed me and my one and a half year
Speaker 2: old coming down. You talk about this at this Yeah,
Speaker 2: four wheeler bro breaks went out coming off of a
Speaker 2: ridge on what literally my sportsman, Oh yeah, just out
Speaker 2: and so I'm literally well they went out and I
Speaker 2: had to go back up. And then when I was
Speaker 2: when I was reversing, I was trying to throw it in,
Speaker 2: uh and like Ford real quick to get it to
Speaker 2: engage just a little bit hit neutral.
Speaker 1: And it never and I went down that it was

Speaker 4: how I learned, uh, just growing up your day like
Speaker 4: just yeah dad, do your dad had garage? My dad
Speaker 4: always poor boys got poor boy ways you know. And
Speaker 4: that was kind of always our slogan, which sounds like
Speaker 4: a song. Maybe we should write.

Speaker 2: because I feel like we're going to Yeah, you're.
Speaker 4: Going we got we got, we got plans. Okay, well yeah,
Speaker 4: it's uh, that's a lot I learned. I just I
Speaker 4: got old. My first car was a ninety five Jeep
Speaker 4: Cherokee and it had a broke off motor mount and
Speaker 4: I kind of just started there. But we always, like
Speaker 4: you know, had junk four wheelers. We had like a
Speaker 4: bunch of those Chinese four wheelers laying around you like
Speaker 4: the knockoff Hondas and stuff, and like they were always
Speaker 4: breaking down. We were having to rewild a armed tabs
Speaker 4: on and its just like all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2: So is your dad, Like it's like our dad cannot
Speaker 2: pass up a deal, Like it doesn't matter what it is,
Speaker 2: we'll have. He's got he's got four boats, he's got
Speaker 2: three Johns, are kidding?
Speaker 1: We have the SAME's your dad, dude. And then he's
Speaker 1: got three or four four wheelers. He's got a couple
Speaker 1: of every single so well, every one of them needs
Speaker 1: one thing done to it. The thing's done to it,
Speaker 1: and I can get it run, I can sell it. Yeah.
Speaker 4: That's literally exactly how my dad was. And he would
Speaker 4: like he worked at a grocery store too. He was
Speaker 4: like the the meat man, the the the butcher, b.
Speaker 1: Kidding.
Speaker 4: Wow, what a small world. We're like all similar. But yeah,
Speaker 4: he would like meet people you know, like that and
Speaker 4: be but ended up being buddies with everybody and they
Speaker 4: would like, you know, he hook everybody up. So he's
Speaker 4: friends with everyone in town. So anytime somebody had something
Speaker 4: to sell, they call Rocky and he would spread the
Speaker 4: word or let he'd let him put a flyer up
Speaker 4: in front of the the uh you know, the the
Speaker 4: meat department. But uh, but yeah, we always kind of
Speaker 4: had a garage full of broken crap and if I
Speaker 4: wanted to ride something, I had.
Speaker 1: To fix it.
Speaker 4: And eventually I started doing it myself, stop waiting for
Speaker 4: dad and watched what he did, and then I kind
Speaker 4: of ran with it.
Speaker 1: And now he calls me when something's broke.
Speaker 4: He literally has like four boats, no joke, though he's
Speaker 4: got a Last year, I bought him a trytoon for
Speaker 4: his birthday, but it was like a pre owned trytoon.
Speaker 4: He's like, oh, we don't need to go get no
Speaker 4: new one. You know I know a guy. Yeah, he
Speaker 4: goes to Arizona, gets this tryton, brings it back.
Speaker 1: Right, this is oppony story. What's back? Where's he bringing
Speaker 1: it back to New Mexico.
Speaker 4: He lives out in New Mexico, so uh, he goes

Speaker 4: buddies brother or my brother's buddies, and brings it back
Speaker 4: to New Mexico, gets it up and running. It's got
Speaker 4: an old Mercury one twenty five on it, and uh,
Speaker 4: he's like, oh yeah, man, it runs.
Speaker 1: Good Son. He only took it out on the lake once.
Speaker 1: He didn't tell me.
Speaker 4: This, So I'm excited, and I'm like excited for him
Speaker 4: because you know, he always wanted a Tryton because he's
Speaker 4: had these old four cylinder you know, wrinkers and all
Speaker 4: this stuff. So so we get out on the lake
Speaker 4: and we get out to this fishing spot and it's
Speaker 4: running great. I'm like, you know, cool man, you do
Speaker 4: the interior, it'll be a nice boat.
Speaker 1: Throw a line out to the engine. I'm just curious.
Speaker 1: Mercury had two stroke. And uh.
Speaker 4: So we're out there and uh it's it's a nice
Speaker 4: day until it ain't. And then, like the story, and
Speaker 4: so out there always the wind. It's so flat, so
Speaker 4: when storms come in, they come in quick. It's like Florida,
Speaker 4: like when a when a storm hits, it's quick, but
Speaker 4: it's in and out on top of you. Dude. It
Speaker 4: went from a nice day to a bad day. And
Speaker 4: I start looking at I'm like, Dad, you know, maybe
Speaker 4: we should go back to the marina and get some food.
Speaker 1: Like a storm, yeah, it doesn't start. Doesn't start a
Speaker 1: million time lake childhood.
Speaker 4: And my Dad's like, oh man, we just need to
Speaker 4: swap the battery out, you know.
Speaker 1: I'm like, swat the battery. It's cranking fine.
Speaker 4: He's like, no, no, it's supposed crank way faster and that okay.
Speaker 4: So we swapped batteries. Well, that battery is dead. The
Speaker 4: other one's barely got any juice left in it.
Speaker 1: You got to figure it out, and you only got
Speaker 1: so many quick.
Speaker 4: At this point, the wind sitting in it starts raining
Speaker 4: and we don't. The wind is then took us to
Speaker 4: the other side of the lake. I done jumped out
Speaker 4: of the water, off the boat into the water. I
Speaker 4: got the top off the the engine. I'm trying to
Speaker 4: try everything I can. And again, I don't know a
Speaker 4: whole lot about outboards, but I know how an engine functions,
Speaker 4: and uh. And so it's me and my dad my
Speaker 4: brother and my uncle, and they're all like, man, what
Speaker 4: should we do. I'm like, well, I don't know. Should
Speaker 4: we call somebody? Well, there's no phone service. Yeah, it's
Speaker 4: a Sunday. There's nobody on the lake because it's raining.
Speaker 1: Dude, this is my childhood, childa. This is what happens.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's part of it. But eventually, I don't remember
Speaker 4: what we did to get it going. I think the actually,
Speaker 4: I think the pump bubble was had like a dry
Speaker 4: rock crack in it because it had been sitting for
Speaker 4: so long, and so when it would build pressure, it
Speaker 4: would start shooting out of there. But the pump lived
Speaker 4: underneath the like underneath this like panel where the gas
Speaker 4: tank was. And yeah, so I told my dad, was like,
Speaker 4: so you mean to tell me you didn't flush this
Speaker 4: gas tank out? Saman sitting for.
Speaker 1: Two years under pissed off at you. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm mad about still to this day. Actually, yeah, we
Speaker 1: made it back, do we.
Speaker 2: Pickwick's got some of Pickwick Lake down in west and
Speaker 2: see where we're from. We grew up in Rivertown River
Speaker 2: rats Man of Tennessee. Tennessee River runs through it. Pickwick's
Speaker 2: one of the best like ledge bass fishing rivers. Tennessee
Speaker 2: River chain is one of the best ledge fishing, especially
Speaker 2: Kentucky Lake that you can find nice. So like there's
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks about a month in the summer
Speaker 2: where those those fish just pile up on those ledges
Speaker 2: and just eat bait. Those bait balls get down there
Speaker 2: and they just crush and it's I mean just hundreds,
Speaker 2: if not thousands of bass on these ledges. So you
Speaker 2: can go out there and find them with your graft,
Speaker 2: throw into them, run a crap bait, a big worm
Speaker 2: or whatever and wear them out and it is some
Speaker 2: of the most fun fishing ever and you can catch
Speaker 2: like big fish. So me and Dan were planning this
Speaker 2: trip dude to go back home to Pickwick for the
Speaker 2: first time in years to and it was like that
Speaker 2: month or were a couple of weeks where you can
Speaker 2: go catch them on the ledge.
Speaker 1: Get on top inverg just saying sure go.
Speaker 3: So because our childhood is riddled with trips that were
Speaker 3: ended quickly, I say to read, hey, man, let's make
Speaker 3: sure we got everything lined up so no mistakes, because
Speaker 3: now we've got kids, but we ain't got time to
Speaker 3: go down there. Like hang out for four days. It's
Speaker 3: like you got to go do the thing.
Speaker 1: Bam bam.
Speaker 3: Get back right. He's like, dude, we got it. We're
Speaker 3: locked in. We cranked it at the house. It's all good.
Speaker 3: It's all good. So I'm like, all right, let's go.
Speaker 3: Tomorrow's the time. Let's get it done. Go bam, we go.
Speaker 3: Spend the night.
Speaker 2: We go, spend the night. Take it to the deer camp.
Speaker 2: Spend the night at deer camp. It was about twenty
Speaker 2: minutes from the lake. Get up super early. I'm talking
Speaker 2: about like cracking dawn. Get We're like, we're like, man,
Speaker 2: I'm about to go catch some fish, Like.
Speaker 1: This is a big boy fish. It's gonna be the
Speaker 1: greatest thing ever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, roll out there, take get it off the the ramp.
Speaker 1: Back, you know, back, don't don't just use the trolling motor.
Speaker 1: Go to the boat. Dan jumps in off the ramp.
Speaker 1: We get out there, start floating out. Can't. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's okay.
Speaker 4: This.
Speaker 1: You gotta you know, pump the friday and throw it
Speaker 1: a little bit. Can't. Can't. It's like there's no way, dude,
Speaker 1: go back there. He's like it craked yesterday. It crakedday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: same thing. Try to hit the bull bulb? Want rot hard?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, no, not right hard, just it's got
Speaker 2: off and always had had a hole in it, like
Speaker 2: a dry ride.
Speaker 4: That's we should have one of those, Like every boat
Speaker 4: should come with an extra one in the glove box
Speaker 4: or like oiled up so it doesn't you.
Speaker 1: Know, dry rot. You know.
Speaker 2: So we ended up just trolling around that cove. When
Speaker 2: we fished for about two hours and caught two or three.
Speaker 2: We got back to the dock and there was a
Speaker 2: guy pulling out already at like eight thirty, you know,
Speaker 2: nine o'clock.
Speaker 1: So we couldn't make it to the ledges. I was like,
Speaker 1: I was, I had to do it.
Speaker 2: He's like, oh dude, he's like best day of fishing
Speaker 2: I've ever had in my life. He's terrible. Is I
Speaker 2: called a seven? I called a five?
Speaker 1: Agent can get up them legs? You'll go hit him.
Speaker 2: It's always so we can't. It's always something. It's always something.
Speaker 2: Yeah what did uh? What did the outdoors look like
Speaker 2: for you growing up? You did you spend much time
Speaker 2: out on Yeah?
Speaker 4: Absolutely, you know, probably until I was I didn't really
Speaker 4: spend much time outside. Like I grew up in a
Speaker 4: hallow really in White Creek, Tennessee. Yeah, and so off
Speaker 4: a lifting pike and some of the best hunting ever there.
Speaker 4: The sad part is I never got to hunt much there.
Speaker 4: I wasn't really interested in hunting. Honestly. I'm never really
Speaker 4: been like a big hunter. I've always been the guy
Speaker 4: that's more into the the gearhead, dirt bikes, four wheelers,
Speaker 4: and you know, stuff like that. But I definitely I've
Speaker 4: been turkey hunting. I've been deer hunting. Never killed a turkey.
Speaker 4: That's probably another thing I'm still mad about it. It
Speaker 4: was a big dude, nice Tom nice toppened down there
Speaker 4: in whites Creek. So I lived at a dead end road.
Speaker 4: It's called Ingram Road. And I've never told anybody this
Speaker 4: on camera, So y'all don't go harassed nobody on Ingram Road,
Speaker 4: all right, But but yeah, that's where I really grew
Speaker 4: up from the age of probably like eight or nine.
Speaker 4: My dad married someone and and so we moved there
Speaker 4: to that area. But but yeah, that's where I kind
Speaker 4: of found my roots for I guess country music music
Speaker 4: in general, and the outdoors. You know, we had a
Speaker 4: creek that ran right down through there, and we had
Speaker 4: a bigger creek down at the end of the road.
Speaker 4: Would ride the foelers down there and go sink them
Speaker 4: and like back to the Honda as. I'd take many Hondas.
Speaker 2: They're much better on a four other than creek riding.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. I love fun.
Speaker 4: And it's it's even more fun when you got an
Speaker 4: old one that that like has got like a redneck
Speaker 4: PVC pipe snorkel kid on it. You know, if you
Speaker 4: sink it, then oh well you pull it out, you
Speaker 4: pull the spark plug, and you're back at it again,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: See that's that's what we were calling on. He was
Speaker 1: just trying to tell a turkey.
Speaker 4: Story, so tell us oh yeah, yeah. So so this
Speaker 4: was my first time ever in the woods. We were
Speaker 4: sitting at the base of a tree and uh me
Speaker 4: and this guy named Brandon that you hunt regularly up there,
Speaker 4: and so I told him. I was like, I've never
Speaker 4: been turkey hunting, you know, and he's like, well, one day,
Speaker 4: I'll take you.
Speaker 1: One day.
Speaker 4: He literally walks in my bedroom scared the absolute crap
Speaker 4: out of me because he's this big bearded dude and
Speaker 4: every time I saw me look different time beforehand he
Speaker 4: didn't have a beard and so I mean he was
Speaker 4: clean shaved. Well, he wants in my room. I was like, yo,
Speaker 4: like that the caveman in my room? What the heck?
Speaker 4: And and he's on camo and and it's dark because
Speaker 4: we're waiting on the sunny come up. Terrifying and so
Speaker 4: he drags me out of my room and he's like,
Speaker 4: come on, let's go and uh and so we go
Speaker 4: and he's spraying me down with this stuff and I'm like, man,
Speaker 4: this smells terrible.
Speaker 1: He goes, oh, yeah, realized darp. Like what. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it kills the scent man, You're good. Like, I'm like what?
Speaker 1: And so uh go to turkey hunt.
Speaker 4: That was my first time learning about hunting, and I
Speaker 4: was probably like eleven and uh.
Speaker 1: So we get out in the woods.
Speaker 4: We're sitting at the base of this tree and he's like,
Speaker 4: he's like, oh, so here comes a few of them.
Speaker 4: So there's a few times coming through there and they're like,
Speaker 4: you know, obviously chasing what they're looking for. And uh
Speaker 4: and he goes he's like, wait for these right here.
Speaker 4: We don't want to shoot these right here, and this
Speaker 4: dude had a muzzle lover bro a muzzle like a
Speaker 4: massive like, and I'm thinking to myself, and I've seen
Speaker 4: him shoot this gun before, and so this whole time,
Speaker 4: I'm scared he's gonna make.
Speaker 1: Me shoot the thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm like, I'm not gonna pass it up,
Speaker 4: you know, And so but uh, I never he ended
Speaker 4: up telling me, like, you know, don't go for it,
Speaker 4: don't go for that one. Like there's definitely some better
Speaker 4: ones coming hut here all the time, like just trust me.
Speaker 4: And I wanted to shoot the first thing I saw
Speaker 4: moving and so yeah, we didn't. I didn't end up
Speaker 4: shooting anything because nothing better came. So, but I wish
Speaker 4: I would have. I wish I would have. I wish
Speaker 4: I would have broke my my eleven year old shoulder
Speaker 4: on that musclad.
Speaker 1: That would have been a good day, wouldn't it. Black
Speaker 1: smoke a turkey, I'm crazy, I'm with it. I don't
Speaker 1: even think that was legal. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I know he got busted for uh by the game
Speaker 4: board for something at one point too.
Speaker 1: For like.
Speaker 2: Mus letter, if you wanted to, yeah, I feel like
Speaker 2: you would blow usually blow a turkey apart with it.
Speaker 1: I mean I think you can.
Speaker 3: I think they make like specific shot that kind of spreads,
Speaker 3: so it's not like, yeah, right, I'm wrong, But I
Speaker 3: don't know if you shoot him primitively, I don't know
Speaker 3: why you couldn't shoot him with the mouslam. Yeah I
Speaker 3: didn't say his last name, but no kidding like the
Speaker 3: balls or what is it limit statue limitation, there's still
Speaker 3: size of the game boards don't go to I guess, yeah.
Speaker 2: Well they can't go anywhere now, all right, geez, so
Speaker 2: look you uh.
Speaker 4: Your drummer played some drums, yeah, a little bit. So
Speaker 4: I played drums in the youth band growing up. That's
Speaker 4: kind of how I, I guess, built up what do
Speaker 4: you call it, your stage that got rid of my
Speaker 4: stage fright, played in the youth band there, and then
Speaker 4: played a youth band in another church, and then I
Speaker 4: got a like little recording set up and kind of
Speaker 4: like started producing songs, learning how to produce music and
Speaker 4: write my own songs and produce my own songs. So
Speaker 4: that's kind of like, yeah, I've learned to play drums
Speaker 4: by my kind of taught myself, but I played I
Speaker 4: had like a little tiny green drum set that I
Speaker 4: still have to this day. I was like a year
Speaker 4: or two old and my dad bought it for me,
Speaker 4: And so when I was really young, I was playing
Speaker 4: like like the simple one two three four on the
Speaker 4: drums and my dad playing on guitar, and he, like
Speaker 4: I guess he probably had a dream that one day
Speaker 4: I would be his drummer of his band at a
Speaker 4: young age. But I ended up being the drummer of
Speaker 4: my own band some days on stage, so really, yeah,
Speaker 4: I played live. Yeah, every once in a while, get
Speaker 4: it crazy here and I'll get one of the guys
Speaker 4: that come up and sing a song, and then I'll
Speaker 4: play a drum suit.
Speaker 1: Fun. It's a lot of fun. Give me a little
Speaker 1: vocal break and yeah, yeah, sure, did you? I can't.
Speaker 3: I remember the first time I saw you was in
Speaker 3: uh was the iHeart Thing. We came to a couple
Speaker 3: of years ago or last year or whenever that was,
Speaker 3: and I think you played Did you play that name?
Speaker 1: Was that in Texas? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think you did. Yeah, that was a
Speaker 4: good day. We had a few technical difficulties, but a
Speaker 4: lot you were hot, hot and rain and it was
Speaker 4: weird sweat. That's almost almost as bad as putting conditions
Speaker 4: on your armpits.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm still click. Yeah, he slipped all day.
Speaker 1: What uh?
Speaker 2: What age were you when you when you started doing that,
Speaker 2: like started started recording and got your recording set up,
Speaker 2: and yeah, I got.
Speaker 4: My first laptop. It was like a little a Sus
Speaker 4: laptop and uh, I don't know, I was probably fourteen fifteen. Uh,
Speaker 4: And then I had like a little USB microphone, little
Speaker 4: Samson Audio USB mike.
Speaker 1: And I was trying to do that.
Speaker 4: But before that, I was trying to record songs through
Speaker 4: a little Zoom camera. It's called a not by the
Speaker 4: company like Zoom Meetings, but it was called it's a
Speaker 4: brand called Zoom. And it was a three hundred and
Speaker 4: sixty degree camera that had a three hundred and sixty
Speaker 4: or not three and six agree camera, but three hundred
Speaker 4: sixty to microphone on the top of it. And so
Speaker 4: I would get the computer speakers, like just right with
Speaker 4: a karaoke track on YouTube, and then I'd be on
Speaker 4: this side, so it would be stereo after I converted it,
Speaker 4: like because you could convert it from three sixty had
Speaker 4: like it's weird format to stereo, and then it would
Speaker 4: put my vocal right in the center of the mix.
Speaker 4: So it was not great, but it was like really
Speaker 4: bad YouTube covers of like.
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber, like all kind of stuff like anything like.
Speaker 7: That.
Speaker 4: One could know, Okay, I like that, that might be
Speaker 4: a good remix.
Speaker 1: We might have to follow up on that one.
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, really crappy YouTube over is it turned
Speaker 4: into a better and better song and turn into today.
Speaker 1: That's wunny.
Speaker 2: We my first I called it my first EP. There's
Speaker 2: a picture of us and my parents upstairs, our childhood bedroom,
Speaker 2: and we got one of those little like four track
Speaker 2: four track you know, plug ins, and Dan's got an
Speaker 2: acoustic and he's like working the thing and I'm sitting
Speaker 2: there like on the mic and the microphone.
Speaker 1: Is an old I don't even know. I don't even know.
Speaker 1: It was like a sure like a fifty eight fifty
Speaker 1: eight y. I brought it from the church, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: And then and then there was no there was no
Speaker 1: screen on it.
Speaker 2: So we got some of mama's pantyhose probably and wrapped
Speaker 2: it around the hangars.
Speaker 1: We put around here like this like singing into it.
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, which is a good segment. I think I
Speaker 2: mean that that feels like a couple of poor boys
Speaker 2: doing doing poor boy ways.
Speaker 1: Man, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So we uh we saw you saying I love that saying,
Speaker 2: by the way, which is so true, so true.
Speaker 1: But I think you've you've seen me say that before
Speaker 1: we saw we and Bobby Bones Bone. So it's a
Speaker 1: perfect like because that.
Speaker 2: Is everything had like a trick to it or you
Speaker 2: had to know a certain way. So I Jordan came
Speaker 2: up with this this game, which is really smart, but
Speaker 2: it's like, let's talk about the most poor boy.
Speaker 1: Being poor boy way got poor boy ways to.
Speaker 3: Make something like I can remember specifically, there's a weed
Speaker 3: eater we have. I'm sorry, my dad bought a weed
Speaker 3: eater that we weed eated yards with and you had
Speaker 3: to keep a can of starter fluid or just yeah.
Speaker 1: Without it.
Speaker 3: So you had to literally have a screwdriver, a can
Speaker 3: of ether, and like I'm talking about maybe like a
Speaker 3: shot glass full of gas. So because once you got
Speaker 3: it going, you had to you had to.
Speaker 1: Keep it fet the whole time.
Speaker 2: You had to have the screen opening off the car
Speaker 2: bo dude, you had just hit it with ether and
Speaker 2: then when it would you have five seconds and then
Speaker 2: you had just had to filter that gas into that car.
Speaker 1: And then it would start and then you get it gone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then it would just die randomly to do
Speaker 4: it again started all over. It's crazy. Yeah, can you
Speaker 4: think of Oh yeah, for sure. We had a few
Speaker 4: of those. I Uh, one time I put an engine
Speaker 4: off of a little forty nine cc two stroke off
Speaker 4: of a pocket bike. I put it on a little
Speaker 4: electric razor scooter and the chain size was the same
Speaker 4: exact size, stroking and everything, so it worked out. So
Speaker 4: I was like trying to weld. I was trying to
Speaker 4: weld like like flat metal. Like again, I was by myself.
Speaker 4: I was like fifteen sixteen, trying to weld this this
Speaker 4: flat iron to this round metal. Anyways, the welder stopped working,
Speaker 4: and uh, I found this like guy on YouTube that
Speaker 4: was like you can use this and like you could
Speaker 4: rig up your wire feed welder to like to like,
Speaker 4: I'm so glad I didn't do it. That's probably a
Speaker 4: bad example because I didn't end up doing it because
Speaker 4: I probably would have shocked myself. So he was like
Speaker 4: showing how you can melt and like braze with a welder,
Speaker 4: but it was on short like basically it wouldn't have
Speaker 4: worked for what I was trying to do. But I
Speaker 4: started to modify a welder, and my dad come home
Speaker 4: and what the hell are you doing? That's a Miller welder, brother,
Speaker 4: That thing costs more money, like it was.
Speaker 1: I got you.
Speaker 4: I got whooping that day for sure. But yeah, but
Speaker 4: I mean back to the weed eater thing. Yeah, I've
Speaker 4: had many days where I had to rig something up
Speaker 4: to make it run right, or just not even run right,
Speaker 4: but just running enough to have fun with it. Never
Speaker 4: had fun weed eating, though I got. I got many
Speaker 4: arguments where I didn't want to weed eat, but I had.
Speaker 1: To till this day. I hate weed eating. It's no fading.
Speaker 4: Unless you got one of those massive like they got
Speaker 4: so many attachments now for weed eaters that make it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but they even got like the wheels that go on
Speaker 4: the end of them. Now they got metal blades like
Speaker 4: in all Commune. You could chop down trees with those
Speaker 4: things nowadays ankles or angels, snakes, yeah, and dogs anklos
Speaker 4: dogs legs. I remember specifically one time though, I took
Speaker 4: some some of the same copper wire right I took.
Speaker 4: I took some copper wire in my battery terminal cable.
Speaker 4: I jumped off this four wheeler. I had one of
Speaker 4: the chineseour wheelers, so many times I left. Actually I
Speaker 4: remember how it got like that. One of the wires
Speaker 4: on it got melted, like all the all the rubber
Speaker 4: on the coating on the wire got kind of burned off.
Speaker 4: And it was because I kept jump starting it. I
Speaker 4: would I would like put it on the battery charger
Speaker 4: and I would just put it on jump start and
Speaker 4: just leave it.
Speaker 1: And I didn't realize what I was doing was a
Speaker 1: little quick charge. So one day I came back and the.
Speaker 4: Batteries all swolled up and the wires were like hot
Speaker 4: and melted and uh, and I didn't know what was
Speaker 4: going on. So I had to cut that off. And
Speaker 4: I took a piece of copper wire and wrapped it
Speaker 4: around it, and the wrapped around the battery terminal, and
Speaker 4: every time I would start the four wheeler, the copper
Speaker 4: wire would light up red, like glowing red. And then
Speaker 4: one day it melted and it melted the hot to
Speaker 4: the like half of the hot wire to the frame.
Speaker 4: Oh man, I lit the whole wire and harness on
Speaker 4: fire on that thing. So that was last day that
Speaker 4: thing ran but go and smoked. Oh yeah, yeah, not
Speaker 4: like flames, but it smoked really bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a it was a bad day day.
Speaker 1: I had a Trailblazer in college. This is a good one.
Speaker 1: I oh, yeah, did that car? Hold on?
Speaker 4: Was it the Trailblazer with the Inline six? What year
Speaker 4: was it? It was a two thousand and six Inline six.
Speaker 4: I just built one of those for Raymundo on Bobby
Speaker 4: Bone Show. But and I love Raymundo's but I hated
Speaker 4: those things too. I'm with you, bro, Yeah, They're so
Speaker 4: hard to work.
Speaker 2: So I had liked I had a battery problem where
Speaker 2: like I was. I was at school at ET Knoxville,
Speaker 2: and I would just park for class or something and
Speaker 2: I would come back to my my vehicle and try
Speaker 2: to crank it, and it was my battery was dead.
Speaker 1: And nobody can figure out.
Speaker 6: Dude.
Speaker 2: I put new batteries in it, all that stuff, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's about as far as I go. Like,
Speaker 2: I'll put a battery in it, checked the alternator, and
Speaker 2: then that's it. I can't go any further than that.
Speaker 1: Also, we were real broke at the time.
Speaker 2: This is yeah, no zero dollars in any account ever.
Speaker 2: So I was like, man, I got to figure this out.
Speaker 2: So I took it to one guy and I was like,
Speaker 2: hey man, here's the deal. I ain't got a lot
Speaker 2: of money to spend on this, like to give you,
Speaker 2: so like if you get to it, like I need
Speaker 2: you to go to about eighty five bucks, Like, just
Speaker 2: work to eighty five dollars and then if it's if,
Speaker 2: then I need we need to figure it out. After that,
Speaker 2: I can't give you any more than that. So he
Speaker 2: tried a couple of things and where he's like, he's like,
Speaker 2: here's what I could do. He was like, I could
Speaker 2: rig you a cut off switch to where you charge
Speaker 2: your battery, and then when you park it, there's a
Speaker 2: switch you cut off that completely cuts the whole your
Speaker 2: whole thing. So it was by my it was by
Speaker 2: the brake.
Speaker 1: He just put a little little button there, a little
Speaker 1: push button, little nipple button.
Speaker 2: And so when I would get to wherever, like grocery store,
Speaker 2: anywhere to park, I would just turn the car off
Speaker 2: and I go kick that thing.
Speaker 1: Dude.
Speaker 3: Still, that's a great idea. It's like, hey man, your
Speaker 3: doors aren't long. And he was like, they don't have to, like,
Speaker 3: nobody's gonna get in here.
Speaker 1: Not right. But ye didn't make it right. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I mean that was yeah, there was the nip. I
Speaker 1: would just I would hit it and then I would
Speaker 1: just take my fingle. Yeah that's good.
Speaker 4: We had a Geo tracker like that one time, and
Speaker 4: they had a Geo tractor. It was a soft top. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but it was a too wil drive automatic. But I'll
Speaker 4: tell you what, even too will drive, you could not
Speaker 4: get it stuck. I barely got it stuck ever, Like
Speaker 4: it just would come no real drive. I had had
Speaker 4: a really nice set of like little thirty thirty by
Speaker 4: nine and a half fifteen's on it and mud tires
Speaker 4: some BFG like mud terrains.
Speaker 1: It was. It was a good, good little rig. But
Speaker 1: uh we.
Speaker 4: Uh we got it from one of My dad kind
Speaker 4: of helped this guy buy it because he needed a
Speaker 4: car and then he didn't pay my dad, so we
Speaker 4: repoted it one day.
Speaker 1: That was so much fun.
Speaker 4: Bang my ex girlfriend, she was like way more savage
Speaker 4: than anything I could ever been, and so it's probably
Speaker 4: probably why we broke up. But she was like, where's
Speaker 4: the keys, I'll do it, And I was kind of scared. Well, dude,
Speaker 4: she we couldn't find the key, and my dad didn't
Speaker 4: have the key, but my dad knew dude left us
Speaker 4: first door and locked, so we just what do was,
Speaker 4: to be honest, a really bad drinking problem.
Speaker 1: So he's like passed out on the couch.
Speaker 4: We just walked right inside the doors hanging up from
Speaker 4: the kind of go out and get the key. But
Speaker 4: then we couldn't get it started. And it had a
Speaker 4: push button for the start of the ignition. That part
Speaker 4: of the ignition wouldn't work, so you turn the key
Speaker 4: on them, then you hit this little push button right
Speaker 4: here and fire right up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had so much fun on that thing. She
Speaker 1: she uh.
Speaker 4: I remember telling her it's like we we should get
Speaker 4: we should make this your first car, you know, And
Speaker 4: so I helped her work on it, and then she like, yeah,
Speaker 4: she knew how to start it, so she she kind
Speaker 4: of stole it one day.
Speaker 1: We had to go back and get it. But that's awesome.
Speaker 1: A little repo mission.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a lot of I mean, I know,
Speaker 3: there's ten thousand other things that we had to like, Oh.
Speaker 1: Dude, Yeah, we lived on a house boat, y'all, on
Speaker 1: a house boat. Man, we talked about maintenance.
Speaker 4: I bought my dad a houseboat, and and that was
Speaker 4: the words decision.
Speaker 3: It's kind of it's kind of not worth it, honestly,
Speaker 3: I mean it was we said it.
Speaker 2: Was more that it was more of a house than
Speaker 2: a boat. I mean, I mean we just lived on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we took we would take it out every couple
Speaker 1: of weeks when we could get both engines going.
Speaker 4: Yeah too, so that they be like two outboards on it.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, oh wow, yeadamn.
Speaker 1: So it was a big boat, was wow. Yeah. He
Speaker 1: lived in the front little v and I lived in
Speaker 1: what kind of boat? Like what got you to my
Speaker 1: dad's was a Gibson?
Speaker 4: Was a fiberglass bottom gets in Yeah, and uh, the Runners,
Speaker 4: like it was like from the seventies or something, and
Speaker 4: so like the runners were like just gone. And it
Speaker 4: had one uh had one engine and I think it
Speaker 4: was like a Chrysler engine, like a three eighteen or something.
Speaker 4: But we could we never got it running, and finally
Speaker 4: we just he was trying to redo it and we
Speaker 4: just got rid of it. But yeah, but man, I know,
Speaker 4: like one of the coolest things I've ever done in
Speaker 4: my life is been out on Navajo Lake in New Mexico,
Speaker 4: And I've always dreamed of like getting a house boat
Speaker 4: with a top deck that you could just lay out
Speaker 4: and look at the stars. If you guys have never
Speaker 4: been there, y'all should go. If y'all never been to
Speaker 4: Navaja Lake, go see Navajo Lake. It's really just super
Speaker 4: cool and like the terrains all rocks, and it's a
Speaker 4: lake in the middle of nowhere. You know what else
Speaker 4: was really cool about it, like like you know how
Speaker 4: most lakes like around here, like Old Hickory or or
Speaker 4: Percy Priest, Right, you go pull up on shore somewhere,
Speaker 4: you're on somebody's property. Yeah, you can't just get off
Speaker 4: there and have a fire. Well, on Navo Lake, it's
Speaker 4: all IM pretty sure. It's the reservation and so you
Speaker 4: could just like go on a bank camp there for
Speaker 4: two weeks if you want, like do everything but build
Speaker 4: a homestead.
Speaker 1: You know, it's pretty cool that Mexican Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: really could. I won't check that out. Yeah, there's no
Speaker 1: humidity either, so it's a good time. They're gonna get onto.
Speaker 1: We can spend. Yeah, but I got one.
Speaker 3: More question, what's your what's your like when you think
Speaker 3: about like the engine. What's the engine?
Speaker 4: My favorite ever built, the most durable engine ever built,
Speaker 4: the most best bang for your buck, is an in
Speaker 4: line six Jeep four to oh uh engine originally built
Speaker 4: by a MC And I think some people anyway, I'm
Speaker 4: not gonna get into the.
Speaker 1: That's all nerd stuff. So what's the truck. What's the truck?
Speaker 4: So Jeep Cherokees from my favorite year from ninety one
Speaker 4: to ninety well, ninety one to two thousand and one,
Speaker 4: two thousand and two, three, if you're getting into wranglers.
Speaker 4: But Jeep manufactured the engine, and uh they also had
Speaker 4: a version of it beforehand, like the Renex motor and
Speaker 4: all these other versions. But it's just a straight six
Speaker 4: engine that you can't you can't kill, like you literally
Speaker 4: can't kill. I actually had one at one point that
Speaker 4: I built a Stroker interne out of, and I had
Speaker 4: a turboed and I had it in a little two
Speaker 4: door Cherokee and I used to street race it and
Speaker 4: pay my pay my rent because people would not think
Speaker 4: it's fast. And the turbo hidden under the intake because
Speaker 4: it exhausted and the intake on the same side, so
Speaker 4: I had it tucked under there and had the the
Speaker 4: boost pipe ran through the factory air box.
Speaker 1: No one ever saw it.
Speaker 4: Now it's got a thousand horse power LS turbo LS
Speaker 4: engine in it.
Speaker 1: But give us the best racing store he got. Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: So one day we were down in like Laverne Smart.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I got a video of it. If you
Speaker 4: let's keep talking. Yeah, yeah, keep talking.
Speaker 1: There's this dude.
Speaker 4: Uh he had a Chrysler three hundred had a little
Speaker 4: Vortech vortech I think it's called a Vortech VORTEXX pro
Speaker 4: charger on a little belt driven supercharger and uh, Crystal
Speaker 4: three hundred C with a himy in it.
Speaker 1: And he was talking the most trash all day.
Speaker 4: And uh, everybody was like, oh, you don't want none
Speaker 4: of that jeep over there, and he's.
Speaker 1: I'll take that jeep. I'll take that jeep.
Speaker 4: We bet three hundred bucks, and uh, I ran, dude,
Speaker 4: and I and I purposely like let him win, like
Speaker 4: by offender, and then I ran it back. I said,
Speaker 4: let's go double or nothing. Crank the boost up. You know,
Speaker 4: I had to be a little switch on. I had
Speaker 4: a little little knob right here. Cranked the boost controller
Speaker 4: up and uh, whooped him. I mean it's just left
Speaker 4: hard and just whooped him and uh yeah, it was
Speaker 4: my favorite part because dude didn't want to pay us
Speaker 4: and so uh so, yeah, somebody left with his car
Speaker 4: nice while he wasn't looking.
Speaker 1: Yeah was your ex girlfriend? No different ex.
Speaker 4: I had a different girlfriend that time and she was
Speaker 4: crazy too, but not that crazy. But uh yeah, they
Speaker 4: left and took it to the other side of the
Speaker 4: parking lot and then jumped out of it.
Speaker 1: So is that kind of how that circuit goes?
Speaker 2: Like, like y'all ain't scheduling races, you're just kind of
Speaker 2: pull every anybody that wants to can pull up to
Speaker 2: these race tracks and and just be like, hey, I'm
Speaker 2: raised for five hundred bucks right now.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to say it was legal racing. Definitely
Speaker 4: was on a race track. We were racing in like
Speaker 4: a warehouse area like we called it Space Park, and
Speaker 4: it was like all these semi trucks like if you
Speaker 4: if you, if you fish heiled and lost control, over corrected,
Speaker 4: you were smashing a eighteen wheeler trailer.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but I don't do none of that no more. Man.
Speaker 4: I you know, I'm a god fearing human that has
Speaker 4: a career cleaned on you know, not.
Speaker 1: Well, we need to.
Speaker 2: Talk about that career because we're gonna get in trouble
Speaker 2: for not talking about.
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought it was super cool that both
Speaker 1: your parents.
Speaker 2: Were were musicians and kind of playing this playing playing
Speaker 2: the game eggs downtown and doing the thing.
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, is that?
Speaker 2: I mean obviously that's how you you know, grew to
Speaker 2: love music and one of one of the back in
Speaker 2: the day.
Speaker 4: Oh man, So my at mom's house, I grew up
Speaker 4: on like gospel and contemporary Christian music. But my mom actually,

Speaker 4: my mom was actually doing Patsy Klein impersonations. So she
Speaker 4: was going to like Brandson, Missouri, and that's where my
Speaker 4: mom and dad actually met.
Speaker 1: But then they would go to like Pigeon.

Speaker 1: And what's your favorite PG band? Story about to do that,
Speaker 1: but I don't want PG give it.
Speaker 7: To me favorite story of the band.
Speaker 1: Any road story you got, uh well.
Speaker 7: You know, the one that comes to mind to me is, uh,
Speaker 7: I had this guitar player, and I had two guitar players,
Speaker 7: and I was trying to get them to kind of
Speaker 7: move around, you know. Back then it was you know,
Speaker 7: his eighties, his big hair and spandex. I got some
Speaker 7: pictures that would give you a nightmare, son. But uh
Speaker 7: I just remember we did this Battle of the Band thing.
Speaker 7: So they had two flat you know, semi truck flatbeds
Speaker 7: set up. So while one band's playing, the other bands
Speaker 7: tearing down and setting up the other band, you know,
Speaker 7: going back and forth on these two flatbeds. One of
Speaker 7: them flatbeds was pretty tore up. It was pretty ragged,
Speaker 7: and uh I remember telling Greg, man, you got to
Speaker 7: move more, you know, roll with Terry choreographed, you know,
Speaker 7: got to make some moves. And I never could get
Speaker 7: him to move. So we're jamming at this battle. The
Speaker 7: bands were pretty goodcise crowd there, and I kind of
Speaker 7: catch out a corner of my eye grapes like he's
Speaker 7: like down on the floor just jamming, you know, and
Speaker 7: he's like like, wow, man, he usually a stands there
Speaker 7: now he's.
Speaker 1: Like moving his knees, you know, different.
Speaker 7: So I kind of like look at him like, heck, yeah, dude,
Speaker 7: Well that wasn't what happened. His foot fell through the
Speaker 7: semi and it went all the way up his leg.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, was stuck.
Speaker 7: Some other people that was there that was taking pictures.
Speaker 7: You can see his legs sticking out from the bottom.
Speaker 1: He's still playing though he wasn't missing the part. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you never missed a beat.
Speaker 6: Boys, just scratched his leg up really good.
Speaker 7: But uh, get out and hold his guitar at the
Speaker 7: same time. So he's sitting there hanging his leg hanging
Speaker 7: and he's still just ripping it. I'm thinking he's getting down.
Speaker 1: That's great. Oh my gosh, that was a good one.
Speaker 1: Of course, you know we could. We could tell some
Speaker 1: pretty ugly star thanks for answering.
Speaker 7: Have cell phones and stuff you could.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I know for sure, the good old days.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get back to it. Dad. I love you.
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 4: See man, dude, I'm so glad we do that. That's
Speaker 4: a great bloody answer. And he never answers on the
Speaker 4: first ring. That was pretty cool. You can see he's
Speaker 4: always working on them boats.
Speaker 1: He's a bit of a showman. Like I can see
Speaker 1: where you get a little bit.
Speaker 2: You just tell a good story listening to him and
Speaker 2: hearing y'all talk. And I mean that that feels like
Speaker 2: a lot like our our relationship with our dad, just
Speaker 2: like he's he's our best friend.
Speaker 1: Man. I talk to him every day. I saw where
Speaker 1: you got to.
Speaker 2: You brought him up on stage at the rhyme, and
Speaker 2: so that rhyme is show and let him let him
Speaker 2: sing with you. Yeah, just walk us through that, man,
Speaker 2: and tell us how that how that whole thing went down,
Speaker 2: and and and the and the reaction and the feeling
Speaker 2: that gave you and him in that moment.
Speaker 4: So I think leading up to the rhyme, and I
Speaker 4: was under a lot of stress and like I was
Speaker 4: just kind of like I got to the point where
Speaker 4: I was kind of being a jerk to a lot
Speaker 4: of people.
Speaker 1: Were we stressed out about the show. The show. I
Speaker 1: was wanted it to go right.
Speaker 4: And you know it's a such a big deal, man,
Speaker 4: the Mother Church, the original Grand Ole Opera, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's like dreams, that's where you catch dreams. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I remember my dad didn't have his words down. What
Speaker 1: do y'all say?
Speaker 4: And were you born for this? It's my title track
Speaker 4: off my first album. And I was like, Dad, what
Speaker 4: the hell? Like you were supposed to have your words together.
Speaker 4: He's like, son, I knew. I swear I knew him.
Speaker 1: I swore He's like I said, I'm just so nervous.
Speaker 1: He's like, I know how big of a deal this is.
Speaker 4: And I was so stressed and like I kind of
Speaker 4: just didn't talk to anybody, and uh, I was really
Speaker 4: concerned on how the performance was going to go. And uh,
Speaker 4: and I knew that he was putting the work in.
Speaker 4: I just didn't know if I didn't know, and like honestly, like, well,
Speaker 4: I don't want to go into all that, but my
Speaker 4: dad's kind of like had some health issues, and so
Speaker 4: like just trying to like get him mentally like in
Speaker 4: the right place for like, hey, like we're gonna be
Speaker 4: in front of a massive crowd, Like let's make sure
Speaker 4: we give this the best we can. I just kind
Speaker 4: of let God have it, like, hey, God, like take
Speaker 4: this cause like because I can't meant I don't have
Speaker 4: the capacity right now.
Speaker 1: How did it feel? It felt? Great. How did it go?
Speaker 1: Did he remember the great? Yeah? To get into we
Speaker 1: got in the zone.
Speaker 4: And I think my dad kind of has that same
Speaker 4: I get it from him, the fight or flight mode,
Speaker 4: like once you're in, like when you realize you there's
Speaker 4: no way out of this, you just do the best
Speaker 4: you can. And that's and I've said this before, that's
Speaker 4: what separates a singer from a star. And not saying
Speaker 4: I'm a star at any in any way, but I'm
Speaker 4: saying like, in a way, it's a make or break moments.
Speaker 4: Really when you have that pressure and you can still
Speaker 4: perform under pressure, it goes to show man. My dad
Speaker 4: is someone that should have been a whole lot bigger
Speaker 4: than he when he is. You know, he should have
Speaker 4: been a star man, you know. And well it's like
Speaker 4: I'm living this vicariously. He's living vicariously through me. And
Speaker 4: so to have him involved in that show is so
Speaker 4: cool because he's inspired me with so many other stories
Speaker 4: that I you know, if we had more time, yeah,
Speaker 4: and even my mother. So you know, when he came
Speaker 4: out on stage and he stole the show for that second,
Speaker 4: it was awesome. You know a lot of people crowd
Speaker 4: and a lot of people that are there, my hometown,
Speaker 4: friends that have met my dad and know my dad
Speaker 4: and know his heart and how how passionate he is
Speaker 4: for music. And then mamma and my mom came out
Speaker 4: to do lean on me on the piano stole.
Speaker 1: I mean, brother, my mamma.
Speaker 4: I know she's gonna watch this because she she's done
Speaker 4: figure out the internet pretty well.
Speaker 1: What madma.
Speaker 4: Madma just launch tro and TikTok account this week, Yeah dude,
Speaker 4: and she's gonna do like cooking videos and like singing
Speaker 4: play from people and and I think that's, you know,
Speaker 4: something that we should show more.
Speaker 1: But that she stole the show.
Speaker 4: And my mom, my poor mom got up there and
Speaker 4: she she started singing, and everybody just wanted to hear
Speaker 4: mamma keep going. But my mom's got an album out too.
Speaker 4: Y'all should check it out. It's called Heritage. It's called Heritage,
Speaker 4: Onenett robertson Heritage, and yeah, dude, it's it's really cool.
Speaker 4: Come from a long line of preachers, and just you know,
Speaker 4: we talk about God's country. It's it's all God that
Speaker 4: made us happen. As much as we joke around and
Speaker 4: try to claim our own work.
Speaker 1: For it. It's never going to be that.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: Our dad, our dad's preacher too. We've yeah, yeah, we've
Speaker 1: were so you're you still you still recovering church case. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And my wife's dad is a preacher. I mean there's yeah,
Speaker 3: there are that We're riddled with him.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: You know, it's a blessing and a curse. People don't
Speaker 4: talk about, don't it's a blessing and a curse.
Speaker 1: But yeah it is.
Speaker 3: It's uh, it's interesting whenever we got out in the
Speaker 3: woods or are on the boat, man, he seemed like
Speaker 3: the preacher thing kind of dropped and we were just
Speaker 3: buddies then. Yeah, you know, which was which is what
Speaker 3: I think why we originally fell in love with it
Speaker 3: in the first place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just because our dad was He wasn't just big
Speaker 2: mean dad out there, you know. It's just like it's
Speaker 2: just your buddy. Yeah, it's nice to have that, did
Speaker 2: you uh when you started the journey, like the man,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do music, I'm gonna I'm gonna chase this
Speaker 2: thing that you know kind of runs in my family,
Speaker 2: runs my blood.
Speaker 1: Like did you see yourself?
Speaker 4: Because you're straight off of a tour from UK, right,
Speaker 4: Like you just got this got back a couple of
Speaker 4: weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Did you did you see it going worldwide? Did you know?
Speaker 1: Did you know? Sir? What was the what was the
Speaker 1: dream back then? Just to do it for a living man?
Speaker 4: I think just so when I found my real love
Speaker 4: for music, because I've always been around it, well, when
Speaker 4: I found my real love for music, I was probably
Speaker 4: thirteen and I started. I wrote my first song and
Speaker 4: it was actually a worship song and it's called what
Speaker 4: You've Done for Me? And I can hardly even remember
Speaker 4: the words, but I I think I found my love
Speaker 4: there for it, and I really started diving into creating
Speaker 4: music from my heart that wasn't covers, like creating music
Speaker 4: from my heart when I found it as therapy.
Speaker 1: Like it was like a way to really to really
Speaker 1: vent on how I was feeling.
Speaker 4: You know, going to so many different schools, it's kind
Speaker 4: of hard to keep making new friends because you don't
Speaker 4: know how long you're gonna be there sure, and so
Speaker 4: you know, and then the friends that you did make,
Speaker 4: you know, you I still talk to someone, broh. I've
Speaker 4: got friends from elementary school I told talk to this day. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but yeah, it's uh. I guess what I'm trying to
Speaker 4: say is where I found my real love for music,
Speaker 4: and like I found that decision on hey, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: make this happen.
Speaker 1: All my goal was really was to make my best
Speaker 1: friend happy. Uh.
Speaker 4: And he passed away in twenty seventeen. I don't really
Speaker 4: talk about this a lot. I used to talk about it, but.
Speaker 1: You don't have to talk about it that. No, it's
Speaker 1: it's cool, man.
Speaker 4: It's cool because you know, it's it's life, man, Like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: shit happens, you know what I mean. But I grew
Speaker 4: up in church in that youth band playing with him.
Speaker 4: I played the drums and he played guitar, and uh,
Speaker 4: you know, I would I would he we a lot
Speaker 4: a lot of the times in the woods when I
Speaker 4: when I grew up in the Holler, was with him.
Speaker 4: And so when I did go to so many different schools,
Speaker 4: he was the one friend I kind of always had
Speaker 4: because I grew up in church with him, and he
Speaker 4: lived down the street and we were into the same things.
Speaker 4: And so when I have to yeah, and and so
Speaker 4: losing him was a was a really really sad thing.
Speaker 1: But I used it as fuel, I guess in a way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of that inspired stuff on your on
Speaker 3: the record Chase and some of those songs. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: can tell you meant what you were saying.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And so you know, like from the heart is
Speaker 4: what I always do, man, I always put out music
Speaker 4: that's from the heart and and something that I've been
Speaker 4: through or that I'm currently going through. And uh, when
Speaker 4: I found my real drive for it was after he died.
Speaker 1: I got through that that grief stage.
Speaker 4: And you know, grief doesn't it it Uh, it doesn't
Speaker 4: just mend overnight.
Speaker 1: You know, it mends over time.
Speaker 4: And I guess over time I kind of with the music,
Speaker 4: I found myself more and more.
Speaker 1: And my goal was just to make.
Speaker 4: Him proud, like would he be proud of this?
Speaker 1: And so.
Speaker 4: I remember for a long time I was writing a
Speaker 4: lot of songs about him, and I realized, Hey, you know,
Speaker 4: you can't like live in this atmosphere of like these
Speaker 4: sad I Miss you songs like you need to write
Speaker 4: songs that resonate with everybody, and you know, really they
Speaker 4: tell his story through that rather than this sob I'm rambling,
Speaker 4: but you know, man, like like I said, it's one
Speaker 4: day at a time. It doesn't happen overnight, and it's
Speaker 4: been I think eight years now since he since he passed, So.
Speaker 1: Actually, no hold on a second. I might be wrong.
Speaker 4: I don't want to find out right now. I think
Speaker 4: I may be completely wrong. I think today's birthday and
Speaker 4: I'm just remembering. Wow, maybe that's what you were supposed
Speaker 4: to talk about. Yeah, wow, uh happy birthday. Don't want
Speaker 4: to cry on here right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, man.
Speaker 3: I read something the other day that said grief is
Speaker 3: one of the young weeks copressions of love, one of
Speaker 3: the few expressions of loves that hurts to feel. And
Speaker 3: I I identify with that, because, like I, there's some
Speaker 3: there's some people and even a dog or two back
Speaker 3: there that I don't want to I don't want to
Speaker 3: not feel. I don't want to not feel. I like
Speaker 3: I like feeling the grief from it, just to just
Speaker 3: to know that I still love him and I still
Speaker 3: care about him, you know, So being able to work
Speaker 3: through it and being able to pursue the dream inspired
Speaker 3: that's a you can't tell that guy nothing, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, he's he I mean that there's no
Speaker 3: way to there's no way to put that fire out
Speaker 3: so at dog.
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 2: What you're doing, and you're going all over the world
Speaker 2: and playing these songs and and and getting on the
Speaker 2: radio and and I guarantee you you're making any proud
Speaker 2: with your music. Man, I guarantee you he's he's looking
Speaker 2: down and and and pump for his boy and rooting
Speaker 2: your own and and doing your thing, man. And and
Speaker 2: it's special right to find purpose in something like that.
Speaker 2: And it absolutely sucks. But you can either go one
Speaker 2: of two ways.
Speaker 1: Man. You can go.
Speaker 2: You can you can let it be sad and revel
Speaker 2: in that and never come out of it. Or you
Speaker 2: can you can make something of it and make it
Speaker 2: meaningful to you for the rest of your life and live.
Speaker 1: Say that a lot.
Speaker 4: It's not about what you've been through, it's about what
Speaker 4: you make of it. Yeah, man, powerful, Wow, thank you
Speaker 4: for a whole moment. Yeah, it's all right, that's all right,
Speaker 4: that's all right. It's a Monday, is it monday? It's
Speaker 4: a Monday. It feels like a Monday.
Speaker 2: It's like hell already, Oh my god, I think this.
Speaker 2: I think that's a great segue into this question. Man,
Speaker 2: Like you were quoted saying you want to establish a
Speaker 2: generational imprint, and and not just not just I think
Speaker 2: that's something I'm gonna read. I want to establish a
Speaker 2: generational imprint. I think that's something we should all focus
Speaker 2: on a little more on or we're gonna leave behind
Speaker 2: for the next generation, and not just in our family,
Speaker 2: but in the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you mean by that? What do you
Speaker 1: what do you want to what do you want to leave?
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think there's an opportunity when you are in
Speaker 4: a spotlight to make an impact on people's lives. And
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of artists and I've seen it.
Speaker 4: Uh no names, man, but like I've been on the
Speaker 4: road with a lot of people that just don't care
Speaker 4: to make sure that people leave better than the way
Speaker 4: they came in to their concerts. That's something my grandfather
Speaker 4: and my pastor that I grew up in church with.
Speaker 4: Excuse me, Yeah, there it is. But he always said,
Speaker 4: you know, he's like, my job is make sure y'all
Speaker 4: leave better than the way you came in.
Speaker 1: You know, I want you all to leave better. And
Speaker 1: I took that with me.
Speaker 4: You know, that's my piece of God right there where.
Speaker 4: It's like, hey, if I can make these make a
Speaker 4: positive impact on these people's live the same way they
Speaker 4: have on mine. That's then that's my way to give back.
Speaker 4: And so yeah, man, there's a lot of artists that
Speaker 4: don't recognize that. And I don't ever want to be
Speaker 4: blind to it. My worst fear, my absolute worst fear,
Speaker 4: number one fear, is to not be humble and recognize
Speaker 4: that you have an opportunity to make an impact, like
Speaker 4: to not make a I don't want to stand before
Speaker 4: God and him be like, so I gave you this
Speaker 4: gift and did you use it for the Kingdom of God?
Speaker 4: And you know that was something for a long time
Speaker 4: that I actually talked to one of our pastors about
Speaker 4: was He came to me one day he said, hey, man,
Speaker 4: I had a dream about about something I needed to
Speaker 4: tell you, and he said, don't forget that a lot
Speaker 4: of the he said, the same people that that said
Speaker 4: the Messiah are the same people that crucify Jesus. He said,
Speaker 4: just remember the people you surround yourself with that act
Speaker 4: like your friends right now will be the same people
Speaker 4: that crucify you when when it's time. And I said, wow,
Speaker 4: that that really stuck, and no kid in a month later,
Speaker 4: it all made sense. It all made sense. Wow, And
Speaker 4: so I don't I'm rambling again, but uh, you know,
Speaker 4: I'd rather I'd rather stand before the Lord of Him
Speaker 4: say you did a good job and be clowned by
Speaker 4: all the people on earth than be judged by him.
Speaker 4: So I don't know where I'm rambling with and got
Speaker 4: off again. But yeah, we got to make it. We
Speaker 4: got to make a better world for the for the
Speaker 4: for the next generation, you know, and even if it's
Speaker 4: not a better world, at least make sure we're reaching
Speaker 4: the people that need it the most.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's so much negativity out there too, man, And
Speaker 3: people that use their platform to to hurt people, and and.
Speaker 1: And maybe terrible. Why would you do that? People? You know,
Speaker 1: I really don't understand because they're hurting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just they're they're struggling, and they're they're they're
Speaker 2: trying to outwardly express that they're not in turn to
Speaker 2: make somebody.
Speaker 1: They want to see somebody else suffer. Some people just
Speaker 1: want to see the world burden.
Speaker 4: Some people wake up every day and just say, man,
Speaker 4: how could I make somebody else's day?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Work, I pray for those people. I pray for
Speaker 1: those people. Man, You know.
