WEBVTT - Rear-ended while drunk driving 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.680 Pat you guys, what's up? Before we jump into a 0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:09.640 story that's one of the lowest moments of my musical career, 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:14.720 A story worth telling with a message worth hearing at 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:17.360 the end of the story, it's a happy ending, and promise. 0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:20.280 Before I get into that, I want to tell you 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:24.600 that this is the moment, this right here today, as 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:28.920 you watch, listen, wherever you are in the world, this 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.920 is the moment for me when I say, I'm so 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:36.560 excited to tell you I have new music out right now. 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:38.800 We just announced a brand new album that comes out 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:44.080 September twenty fifth. It's called The Country Things, Volume one. 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:47.479 And as a little side note, as you can imagine, 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.839 if it says volume one, there's probably going to be 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:56.319 a volume two. We'll announce that later. But right now, 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.280 what I'm worried about telling you is the album is announced. 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:03.600 It comes out September twenty fifth. Two songs are out 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:05.920 right now, two brand new songs. It's called One of 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.839 them is called Country Things. The other one is called 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:13.160 Hate You Like I Love You. I love both of 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.720 these songs. I'm excited. They're both very different in their 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:22.240 own right Country Things Is. You can't compare the two 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.280 they're very different. They live in the same family, but 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:32.399 they're very different content wise, stylistically, the same family content wise, 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.000 two completely different stories. And I'm interested to see what 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:36.720 you think. If you want to comment below, if you're 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.880 watching on YouTube, comment below and tell me what you 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.400 think of these two songs. And you can find them 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:45.200 anywhere you find music, anywhere you find music, wherever your 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.040 favorite place to listen to music is, whether that's YouTube 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:52.760 or Spotify, or Amazon or Pandora or Apple Music, your 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.720 friend's garage, wherever you listen to music, wherever you find music, 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.360 these days, you could find these two songs. And here's 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.559 what I'm gonna ask you guys to do as fans 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.960 of this podcast, as listeners of this podcast, there's a 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.360 couple caught actions that you could do to help. On 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.720 Apple Music, you could pre ad so you can go 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.040 and pre add the whole album Country Things, Volume one. 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:17.320 On Spotify, you could pre save. On the iTunes store, 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.480 you could pre order, and on Amazon Music you could 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.400 pre order. So if you do that, I say, you 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.560 have a Spotify account and you go and you pre 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.040 saved my album, or you have an Apple Music account 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.520 and you go and pre add my album that matters, 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.920 that puts it into this little statistic that then the 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.520 people at Spotify or Apple Music or Amazon and Pandora, 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.480 that those people see it and they go, oh, the 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.200 people really like this album. We better push it up 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.799 so more people could hear it. It's important push it 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.480 out there. That's how that algorithm works. And so first 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.680 and foremost, before I get into this podcast, I want 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.880 to tell you about that. I hope, at the very least, 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.240 the very least, if you don't want to do anything, 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:57.760 if you don't want to pre save it or pre 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.160 add it or pre order it, or least, I just 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.000 hope you give it a chance and you listen to it. 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.160 You listen to give Me a verse and chorus, Listen 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.560 to a verse and chorse of country Things, Listen to 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.440 a verse and chorus of hate you like I love you. 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.400 If you dig it, if you want to hear more, 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.920 follow the lead here. But I just hope that you 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.040 could relate to these songs. I hope that the stories 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.760 speak to you. I hope it matters to you like 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:26.760 it matters to me, because then that that that fulfills 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.960 me as a musician more than anything. If songs are 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.239 speaking to people and messages are getting out and people 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:37.880 can relate, connect to a story or a melody. It 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.880 makes it feel all worth it, It really does. Thank 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.600 you for listening to the podcast. I'm bringing back my 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.560 old drummer, my current Geegee Apparel warehouse manager Caleb Kelly. 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:53.280 He has an amazing story. We had some really low 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:59.640 times professionally and in our friendship. He brought it all 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:03.920 around full circle. God brought it around full circle if 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:08.000 you believe that, which I do. And then he saw 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.600 the silver lining, the happy ending, the light at the 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.000 end of the tunnel. Everything came back to him. Now 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.200 he's not perfect, he's not out of the woods. He's 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:21.839 not absolutely wonderfully happy. No one is. But he came 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:25.000 out of a really, really dark place and found his 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.080 way back to life again. And that's the message I 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.919 want you to hear today. Welcome to the podcast, Episode 0:04:31.960 --> 0:05:09.920 forty seven. Ye Ye did chant in DC, moun Times 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:15.960 and school long Line, I'm fool up and Down going 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:33.320 back Rangy co watch evage, Yeah the gation. First thing 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:38.760 I'll say is if you if you're new to this podcast, 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.279 you got to stop right now, don't listen or watch 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:47.279 this one and go back to episode forty six. It's 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:52.440 called I called the Cops of My Drummer. Watch that. 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.120 Listen to that one, and then come back and then 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.760 meet us back here, because I want you to get 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:03.080 the backstory on Kyle Kelly and the way that I 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:04.920 ended that when I called the Cops of My Drummer, 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.159 which is true story, not clickbait. I called the cops 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:14.720 of my drummer, which was you a crazy night in Flagstaff, Arizona. 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.200 I tell that whole story, why it happened, and as 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:22.760 you mentioned yesterday here at Eue Apparel, that it's nice 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.400 to tell that story so that people know the full 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:31.880 the full circle of what happened that night. It wasn't 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.040 just you were crazy, you got drunk and you had 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:38.919 a crazy night and things turned bad. It was a 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.400 lot more to it, and so we were able on 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.479 episode forty six to go through all those details. But 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.120 the problem with episode forty six is the way I 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.479 ended it, and I didn't even really realize that I 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:55.880 ended it the way I did. But a lot of 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.040 people listened to that. That was a very popular episode, 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.320 and this is the first time I've ever followed up 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.400 with an episode the next week with the same guest. 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.840 But the problem with that episode is was I ended 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:12.400 it with the cliffhanger, not meaning to saying that everything 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.960 you've heard so far wasn't as bad as what was 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:20.280 to come. That finally got Caleb Kelly out of the band, 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.600 and I had to bring you back to talk about that. 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.520 So bad the story glad to me because it's also 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.760 interesting that, yes, this incident, this incident we're about to 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.920 talk about, got you out of the band, not the 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.880 one that I called the cops on. But the crazy 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.560 thing is is that you still work for us, with 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:47.360 us every day. I see you more than my current drummer, Dusty. Yeah, 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.520 because I see you every day. You're the warehouse manager 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:54.560 here at EE Apparel, and that that incident, which was 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:59.080 you know, you started playing drums for me in twenty twelve. 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:04.320 So a lot has happened in eight years, the evolution 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:09.280 of us as friends, and it's a really cool story. 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.080 So thank you for being back. Two weeks in a row. 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.280 I literally pulled you out of the warehouse. You were 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.920 completely sweating because it's hot in here. We have this 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.080 fall launch coming up next a couple of weeks September 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.800 eighteenth and so you've been getting all the backstories, you've 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:30.280 been getting all the palettes of new merch coming in 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.760 through the shipments, and so this is the this is 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.600 the go time for you. The shippers will have hell 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.280 on it's eighteenth, but you have hell right now getting 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:44.960 everything out organized, right, trying to say one step ahead 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.439 of what they need before they get the order out 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.680 the door. So yeah, we've got a lot of boxes 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:54.120 and pallets and items coming in. So no air conditioning 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:59.200 in the warehouse, No, No, it's you experience the elements. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.120 it's good though I had a change shirt because it 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:08.840 was a little Norley. You clean up nice. So before 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:14.160 we get into the night, that ended us playing music 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.480 together at least for now, as there might be more 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.120 a lot more music down the road, but for now. 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:23.480 There's other stories that happened to that I kind of 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:24.880 wanted to bring up, and there might be some of 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.320 them forgetting, but I wanted to bring up one eared Doug. 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:33.720 One ear Doug. That was do you want to take anywhere? 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.960 I'll set it up. But I can't finish it because 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:43.839 I was technically sleeping in the van back in the 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:48.000 day when we were pushing back every Saturday night when 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.680 we would play a show, me and the band would 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.400 push back that same night to try to make it home, 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.600 and we were most of the time successful. We would 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.000 get home usually by the time the sun was coming up, 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:01.840 no matter where we were coming from in the state 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.560 of Texas or Oklahoma, we would get back home or 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.840 ride around sunrise. And if we beat the sun coming up, 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.800 that was a good Saturday night. It was good. If 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.480 we got home at nine or ten am, it was devastating. 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.520 It was so tiring. But what we would do was 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:20.679 we would switch off driving and we would pick our 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.560 drivers after the show, no before the show, so we 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.880 knew how much alcohol we can consu Originally it was 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.280 after the show, and then we noticed that if you 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.439 just got hammered, you couldn't be a driver for the 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.280 first right, So we were like, this isn't going to work. 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.000 We we'll pick it before the show. So we used 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.400 everything from driver's license to hotel keys. I remember doing 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.120 hotel keys and we would write our names on them 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.440 and put them up in the visor of the van, 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.600 and then before the show we would just draw names. 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.200 Like a car dealer in Vegas. We would draw in 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.880 pairs so We would say, all right, Shift one is 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:08.040 Todd and Caleb. Shift two Granger and Tyler, whatever, and 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.920 we would pick usually about four shifts. It depended on 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.280 how far we were driving the shifts. We were very 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.840 strict about it. There were two hour shifts. You and 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.040 your partner would pick who was going to drive and 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.440 who was going to navigate. The only rule was the 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:26.240 navigator could not sleep at all, could not sleep, and 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.120 you could switch. You could switch off ten minute shifts. 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.040 It didn't matter you picked. You had your two hour slot, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.360 which is by design the length of a movie. Yeah, 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.559 in case you wanted to watch a movie and everyone 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.000 else could just chill out, they could watch the movie, 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:45.800 they could sleep. The first shift was amazing. You're fresh 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.520 off the stage, you've loaded the trailer, hit the road, 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.400 drive for two hours. You're done. Second shift was terrible 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:57.280 because just when two hours goes by after loading the 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.160 trailer in two hours on the road was like just 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.600 the time when you start getting tired. It takes two 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:04.880 hours just to get tired, so you could get tired. 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:09.080 And then third shift wasn't bad because now you've rested 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.200 for four hours. You've been bumping around in the back 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.280 in the bunk in the back of the van and 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:19.200 you kind of want to drive anyway. Yeah, this particular night, 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.360 I believe we were in Schneider, Texas. That's the town 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.480 I remember that we played no that we were driving 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:30.720 to one year Doug. Yeah, where were that RV sign? 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:34.319 Big Bread. What we did in the middle of the 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.439 night was we always when we needed a pea stop, 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.760 because you got, what were seven of us, probably seven 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:50.920 or eight five yeah, seven exactly, so seven of us. 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.360 There was multiple pea stops that we had to do, 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.560 but we didn't. It wasn't worth going to a gas 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.240 station just to pee. It just took too long, find 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:04.560 a parking spot, there could be a line, somebody's gonna 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.320 take too long because they're buying something in the aisles. 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.720 So it was way easier to do what we called 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:13.360 a desert pea basically because most of Texas is the desert. 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.480 We would just pull off on the side and the 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.560 darkness and everyone would pile out and just pee in 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.760 the grass. That's just how it was. So here we are, 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.600 I'm setting the scene for your story. We're outside of Snyder, Texas, 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:31.360 I believe, on a random Saturday night, pushing home stop 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:35.720 for a desert pee. I was not on shift, so 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.840 I was in the middle bench trying to sleep. You 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.880 never really sleep, but I was trying to sleep and 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.280 the guys get out to go pee, and I believe 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.880 it was you and Tyler on the shift. No, it 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.720 was it was Tyler and Johnny. You weren't okay. I 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:56.200 was on the first bench asleep right there where the 0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:01.240 door had opened. Gotcha, gotcha. So during this desert pea 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:07.319 we meet one eared Doug. So what happened was here's 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.800 here's where it picks up for me. I'm like laying 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.400 with my feet facing towards the sliding door and I 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:21.040 hear this, like like sit up real quick, and there's 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:25.080 some dude had bent his truck around one of those 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:30.720 like double poles. It holds up one of those big signs, 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.760 and uh, I jump out. Tyler and Johnny are there, 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.760 and I was like, let's go. I don't know why 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.600 I wasn't wearing shoes. I realized once I got there. 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:44.360 But we run over to this truck. You were barefoot. Yeah, 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.480 that's the first time I hear that. Yeah, it was dumb. 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.200 I only remember because there was glass everywhere, but it 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.000 was like, you know, like it wasn't It didn't cut 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.200 my feet, thank god. But we go over there and uh, 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.920 we say, this is the middle of nowhere, boy, yeah, 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:04.080 Black Texas, nut town, inside middle of nowhere, middle up 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.920 two am. Yeah it was like that. Yeah, it was 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.760 early and my first week with you guys. This was 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.600 the after the last show, our first week. So he 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:18.480 wraps his truck around this pole, run over there, Uh, 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.680 to the driver's side and pull open the door and 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.760 obviously not wearing a seatbelt because here's the driver's side 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.600 and he's all the way up against that window, kind 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.480 of leaned up against there. And I go in there 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:35.040 and I grab his arm. I'm like okay, you okay, 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:39.880 and he looks at me and he's just like because 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.760 he had broken his jaw and it was like back 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:48.120 and hanging down to the side. And uh, that wasn't 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.920 the worst part though. Uh. The other part was his 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.440 ear was hanging off and there was only like a 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.640 little bit. It was like down here. So I grabbed 0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:59.920 him like, car, you're all right, and he kind of like, well, 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:03.560 I can't. He's not saying anything. I mean he might 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.920 have been saying something. Yeah, I couldn't tell what he 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:08.760 was saying, because the jow was broken and his ears 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:13.240 hanging off his head and he was like, ah, and 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:17.640 that was one ear Doug. We so his name wasn't Doug, 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:21.960 but you named him Doug. Yeah, one ear Doug. If 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.040 his name is Doug, that would be kind of cool. Yeah, 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:31.880 nailed it, but it's probably not Doug. So I don't 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.400 think one year Doug's listening to this podcast. If you 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.400 are buddy, First of all, I'm sorry. I didn't mean 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.680 to laugh at you. But at the same time, I 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:43.760 think we might have saved your life. Yeah, I don't know. 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:45.280 I don't know what would have happened. I mean, he 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:50.160 was just I don't think he was bleeding out too bad. 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.000 He was just laying up against I mean, maybe he 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.480 would have. And and to set the scene too, it 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.040 was we're on this two lane highway in the middle 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.920 of Texas, but this and the guys are peeing off 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.200 the two lane highway. But this happened in the service 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:10.920 road where the where the billboard was. So I mean, 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.440 of all places to be standing there peeing in the 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.600 middle of nine on side of the road, of all 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.800 places for a drunk driver to come flying down the 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:23.320 service road and wreck. It was right here, in the 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:29.720 middle of nowhere. So at that point he had just 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.680 got in a fight with his with his girl, right, yeah, 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.720 he had. He had left like stormed out. We found 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.600 out later, well, he wrapped his truck around there. We 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.159 pulled him out, pull him out, and he's like, it's hanging. 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:47.560 And then some car pulls up and uh, I don't 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:52.200 know if it was his daughter or his significant other, 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.880 but she's like, he's he's okay, he's he's fine, he's fine. 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:57.800 I was like, I don't think so she's like, no, 0:17:57.840 --> 0:17:59.600 he's fine, he'll come with me. He's fine with the 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.440 truck was fine. And I was like, man, I really 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.840 don't think he's okay, and she's like, no, trust me, 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:06.159 he's fine. I'll take him with me. It's not a 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:08.639 big deal. And I was like, look at him, and 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:13.199 she looks at him and he's ah, and she just 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:18.959 she was like, oh, christ upped up and starts crying 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.720 and she so she didn't see him until you said that. No, 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:25.560 she probably saw his good side, okay, And then he 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.159 turned around and the ears just dangling there and his 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:33.359 jaws all bode So then she was like then she 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:37.880 started crying. But then like the cops showed up. Uh 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:42.280 you remember the cops circle. I don't know who called 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.840 the cops. Uh must have been so I bet you 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:50.080 Tyler called him, probably because remember then city cops showed 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:53.800 up and they were like, uh, what's outside the city 0:18:55.119 --> 0:19:00.760 And then dude that was a mess share office showed 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.439 up and was like, it's not my jurisdiction neither. Yeah, 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.320 So then DPS showed up. He was not in the 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.760 mood to be there. All they called. They said, you're right, 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:12.440 and that guy said, it's not it's not my jurisdiction. 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:14.720 So then they called DPS. But remember it took him 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:18.199 an hour to get there because he was asleep and 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:23.240 there was one Texas State trooper available in that county 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.440 and he was asleep, so they had to call him 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:30.000 wake him up because he was the only guy that could. 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:33.200 I don't know all you police officers listening, I don't 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.359 know what it is he had to do, but he 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.440 had to get his eyes on the scene. Yeah. I 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:43.000 don't know how what who, like whose responsibility it was, 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:44.720 but they were like the city was like, it's not us, 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.359 it's county. County was like it's not us, it's DPS. 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:51.080 And then DPS was gonna show up. But the Sheriff's 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.080 office dude was like, he said, okay, what happened? We 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:55.840 were like, all right, Well he wrapped his truck around 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:58.719 this thing. We pulled him out and we saw and 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:00.640 he was like holding this. I'll never he's just holding 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:05.280 his bad He's like zero, yeah, very matter of fact. 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:08.880 Zero got that point holding Yeah, yeah, I got it. Yeah, 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:12.800 I already knew that. Picked up on that. Uh yeah, 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:17.840 that was interesting. So we had to stay as a band. 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.440 By this time, we're all up. Anyone else that was 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.679 asleep is now up. And like I said, we always 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.639 wanted to push back and make make home before the 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:30.480 sun came up. Well, we had to stay for the 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:34.080 DPS officer to arrive because we were the only witnesses 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:36.480 and they needed to get a statement from us. And 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:38.200 there was, as you know, you've probably been in a 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:41.800 situation before, there's no getting out of this making a statement. 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:43.960 You know. As much as we wanted to just go okay, 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:48.119 you got it, were no. We had to wait. We 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:50.400 had to wait for the DPS to fill up the report, 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:52.880 and that took an hour for him just to get there, 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:55.280 because I think he lived forty five minutes away, plus 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:56.919 give him fifteen minutes to wake up and put his 0:20:56.960 --> 0:21:01.040 clothes on, and then he gets there. Then you guys 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:05.040 had to tell the whole story again again to him, 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:09.199 and it set us back a good two hours. Just 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:11.879 stopping to pee one time set us back two hours 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:16.840 and get us home late. But if you if you're Ever, 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.879 if you're listening to this podcast and you're Ever in Snyder, Texas, 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:26.680 walking around and you see a man, middle aged, kind 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:30.800 of thin, one ear might be and one ear, one 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:32.840 ear looks a little bit different, like maybe it's been 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:36.760 reattached with some stitches, just go introduce yourself, say hey, 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:40.040 are you one ear?
