Speaker 1: Arego story from our good buddy already.
Speaker 7: I'll try to keep it to the cliff notes.
Speaker 5: No, don't we got time go for so make it.
Speaker 7: Good hunter Phelps again. It's like one of my best
Speaker 7: friends in Nashville, all right at all, and he's my
Speaker 7: big airhead hunting buddy. So this particular time, it was
Speaker 7: two years ago, I guess at this point, I had
Speaker 7: COVID two years ago on Christmas, so I didn't get
Speaker 7: to go do christ my family, but I wasn't really
Speaker 7: sick and it was warm, and I went and found
Speaker 7: one on Christmas Day you can. But anyway, so we're
Speaker 7: hitting all these bank spots and we're doing all this stuff,
Speaker 7: and we're finding a couple, and it's getting dark and
Speaker 7: we get to this one spot we've never been to before.
Speaker 7: A hunter goes this way and I go this way.
Speaker 7: I go down here. I find a big, beautiful arrowhead.
Speaker 7: And what's big, like not the size of your hand,
Speaker 7: but like pretty you know what I mean, my whole hand. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I found a good one, one of the best ones
Speaker 7: I've ever found. Looked like a big leaf.
Speaker 5: So is this Is this a hunting arrowhead or is
Speaker 5: this like a working arrow?
Speaker 7: More than likely a knife. They call them all arrowheads,
Speaker 7: but most of them were like knives and spearheads. Only
Speaker 7: the really small ones are actual arrowheads. And that didn't
Speaker 7: come until like the Woodland period, which was like way
Speaker 7: they didn't start hlting my bows until way later, way later,
Speaker 7: thousands of years after you would think, I mean, it's
Speaker 7: getting real dark. And Hunter comes back and he's like,
Speaker 7: you have to come with me right now. I have
Speaker 7: to show you something. And I walk with him down
Speaker 7: the bank to his spot that he went and pictured
Speaker 7: like a wall and it's regular gray or not gray
Speaker 7: brown dirt. And then there's a spot probably like the
Speaker 7: width of this wall that's just black and gray, and
Speaker 7: there's flint and animal bones and pottery just like pouring
Speaker 7: out of this bank. Really it was a campsite and
Speaker 7: we were the first people to find it.
Speaker 1: How old was this campsite? In your in your brain?
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think, I guess.
Speaker 7: Three four thousand years?
Speaker 2: That's sick, maybe older, that's crazy. That's really cool already, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean that's cool to find something.
Speaker 7: First people to find it. It was I mean, we had
Speaker 7: to have been because we found so many, so many artifacts.
Speaker 5: Right there, you know what you had found? Yeah, Okay, so.
Speaker 7: We start and stuff and uh didn't think anything about it.
Speaker 7: I go home and before I go any further, there's
Speaker 7: there's no no facts really that that point directly to this.
Speaker 7: But it's the only thing that can explain what I'm
Speaker 7: about to tell. So it's it's all like jumbled. But
Speaker 7: I woke up one morning and it took like two weeks,
Speaker 7: but I woke up one morning.
Speaker 5: Did you brought something back from that?
Speaker 7: I brought like two or three ERA heads back and uh,
Speaker 7: I woke up one morning and like all the lights
Speaker 7: were on in my house. And I lived in a
Speaker 7: house at the time in Joelton. And when I say
Speaker 7: the middle of nowhere, you could not see it from
Speaker 7: a helicopter. Dude, it was in my heart.
Speaker 8: It was.
Speaker 7: My driveway was like a mile, like a three quarters
Speaker 7: of a mile long. It went through these hardwoods and
Speaker 7: these hills and then you just my it was like
Speaker 7: a kind of a Gatlinburg style cabin.
Speaker 3: It's awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you still have that place. I said, you're gonna
Speaker 2: keep that? And you said, have you met my wife.
Speaker 2: That's literally what you said to me. I hope that
Speaker 2: doesn't get you in trouble.
Speaker 7: No it won't, but dude, and all the lights are on. Yeah,
Speaker 7: all the lights are on. So and I didn't think
Speaker 7: anything about it, but I was like, dude, I don't
Speaker 7: I don't sleep walk like I.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 7: It was really bizarre. And what I mean is like
Speaker 7: my mom didn't come and check in and forget to
Speaker 7: leave some lights on while I was sleeping. There's just
Speaker 7: no you know, there there's none of this. You can
Speaker 7: explain anything because there's a gate and a mile long
Speaker 7: driveway and a house where nobody knows exists, so you.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't have left the lights on.
Speaker 7: No, I mean, is it just you just me for
Speaker 7: the first few times. Yeah, And what it is is
Speaker 7: it's it wasn't an a frame, but the master bedroom.
Speaker 7: It was only one story upstairs or one room upstairs,
Speaker 7: and it was an open like master bedroom.
Speaker 3: Gotcha.
Speaker 7: So you walk in, you know, the living room, all this,
Speaker 7: and then the stairs they just go up and there's
Speaker 7: a master bedroom.
Speaker 2: They're to it. Yeah yeah, yeah, loft.
Speaker 7: Kind of Essentially, what I'm saying is I couldn't sleep
Speaker 7: if the lights were.
Speaker 2: On, you know what I mean, Yeah, because the whole
Speaker 2: house would be little room, room would be love.
Speaker 7: So anyway, so that happened like three nights in a row.
Speaker 7: I would go downstairs in the morning and like random
Speaker 7: lights would be on in a row.
Speaker 3: In a row.
Speaker 7: And then some of this might be out of order.
Speaker 7: That's CALLI and I were, I guess you could say,
Speaker 7: putting together the guest bedroom, the bed side table, all
Speaker 7: this stuff. And we hung a mirror behind the bed.
Speaker 7: And my wife is very meticulous, and uh and I'm
Speaker 7: not so it's it's a good balance. But we were
Speaker 7: hanging this mirror and it had to be perfect, and
Speaker 7: so we literally were like messing with it for an
Speaker 7: hour and we finally got it perfect and we looked
Speaker 7: at it and good job, all right, great, and then
Speaker 7: we go to bed and we wake up the next
Speaker 7: morning and the mirror has a giant scratch across the
Speaker 7: middle of the mirror.
Speaker 2: See I'm getting chew on.
Speaker 7: It was so it was so that cow and I
Speaker 7: told Kelly, like man that something's going on with the house,
Speaker 7: like lights are coming on and stuff, and and uh,
Speaker 7: there was a window that was open one morning behind
Speaker 7: my kitchen sink.
Speaker 2: That was really weird.
Speaker 7: And yeah, so then Calli was like, I don't like
Speaker 7: that at all. I mean, we examined it would be
Speaker 7: like hanging this flag and then the next morning tear
Speaker 7: down the middle of the flag.
Speaker 1: I mean it was not like the like the flag
Speaker 1: had fallen off, like it literally like things were open.
Speaker 5: That takes human power.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and so there was a scratch across the mirror
Speaker 7: and it freaked both of us out. I didn't think
Speaker 7: anything about it. And then one night we were up there
Speaker 7: watching Yellowstone and we heard a noise downstairs. And I
Speaker 7: can't remember if this part was in my head, but
Speaker 7: I think I remember Cali being like, what was that?
Speaker 7: And I was like, it sounded like a chair scared
Speaker 7: across the floor, and didn't think anything anything about it.
Speaker 7: And I got up early the next morning and our
Speaker 7: chair from our kitchen table had been moved like six
Speaker 7: feet out, like into the middle of our living room.
Speaker 7: And I was just like, dude, it's becoming a thing.
Speaker 2: Are you ghosty? Are you ghosty? How do you feel?
Speaker 2: Where do you range on the here's my thing paranormal scale.
Speaker 7: I think that somehow, some way science can explain something
Speaker 7: to do with it, and I don't think I think
Speaker 7: there's a way that they can explain it and not
Speaker 7: negate religion. I just think we didn't know that radio
Speaker 7: waves existed until one hundred years ago, and now look
Speaker 7: what we've done with invisible waves where you can like
Speaker 7: talk to people across the world. And this, I mean,
Speaker 7: like you just I think there's a way to explain it,
Speaker 7: because I want to believe so bad that it's real.
Speaker 7: But so all right, here's the meat and potatoes of it.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 7: I woke up and this sounds like a movie, but
Speaker 7: I swear to God this is true. I woke up
Speaker 7: Callie Cali, so we had windows start opening, lights kept
Speaker 7: turning on and off.
Speaker 6: Like a time long?
Speaker 5: What time period is this going on?
Speaker 7: Over the course of a couple months, and then Callie said,
Speaker 7: I can't we're dating at this point, we're not even
Speaker 7: engage yet, and she's like, I can't keep saying with
Speaker 7: you it freaks me out. Really yeah, I mean she
Speaker 7: but you know, she lived in town. I lived out
Speaker 7: in Joelton. She didn't stay with me all the time anyway,
Speaker 7: But she was like, I just until this calms down,
Speaker 7: Like I was freaking me up to enough to freak
Speaker 7: her out bad. And I was freaked out. But I
Speaker 7: never like went to bed scared.
Speaker 2: I just.
Speaker 3: Don't.
Speaker 7: I would just wake up and be like, God, something
Speaker 7: happened again.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So there was a series of like five or six
Speaker 7: nights in a row. I never wake up in the
Speaker 7: middle of the night ever. I never have unless I
Speaker 7: have to go pee, which I still usually never do.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I woke up at two fifty nine or three am
Speaker 7: on the dot five or six nights in a row,
Speaker 7: and I would wake up and I would check my
Speaker 7: clock and it was two fifty nine or three o'clock
Speaker 7: am on the dot.
Speaker 6: And uh.
Speaker 7: There was one night I woke up and it was
Speaker 7: three am on the dot and I was in a
Speaker 7: full on like sweat like I thought I.
Speaker 2: Was gonna say TP.
Speaker 9: Was I was in a tp Oh my god, dudd
Speaker 9: full on swept.
Speaker 7: And uh, I just was. I remember, I just I
Speaker 7: woke up feeling uncomfortable, and I was like, what is
Speaker 7: going on? I got I sat inside of my bed,
Speaker 7: I turned my lamp on, and when I turned my
Speaker 7: lamp on, something jumped from my balcom.
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, something.
Speaker 7: Jumped from the balcony from the loft where my bedroom is,
Speaker 7: because there was a rail and you could hear, like
Speaker 7: you could hear like the pressure of like putting a
Speaker 7: pressure on it, like as if it was sitting on
Speaker 7: the rail. Like it creaked and then nothing and then boom,
Speaker 7: and it hit the floor and it ran through my
Speaker 7: house and I jumped up. I got up out of bed,
Speaker 7: and I like turned every light on. I grabbed my gun.
Speaker 7: I swept my entire house, like every closet, every corner,
Speaker 7: No doors were open nothing.
Speaker 5: I got chilled with on my thighs.
Speaker 7: And again like there's no way anybody could get in
Speaker 7: this house, Like there's no way anybody knew it was there.
Speaker 7: Like it wasn't like you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: No dogs or coyats running up there, no raccoon And
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 7: The most real, like yeah, see, I even thought like
Speaker 7: it was loud.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 7: It was so loud though that it was like it
Speaker 7: shook the dishes in my like like it was like
Speaker 7: somebody jumped. I mean, it's hard to explain, dude. I
Speaker 7: swept my whole house. I didn't sleep a wink that night.
Speaker 7: And then I came home and I told Cally about it,
Speaker 7: and uh, she was like, we gotta.
Speaker 2: Do something, and I was like, I agree, No, let
Speaker 2: me ask you this in that process or you think
Speaker 2: it is the has the artifacts even rang in your
Speaker 2: head that you.
Speaker 7: At that okay? Yes, So some point in that month
Speaker 7: two months, Calli was the one. She was like, I
Speaker 7: think it's that campsite y'all found the other day. And
Speaker 7: I was like, and you just don't know, man, like
Speaker 7: that fresh dirt. Oh there's a okay. This was another
Speaker 7: very important one that I forgot about. Yes, so glad
Speaker 7: there's another one I lay in like the first thing
Speaker 7: that happened before the light's coming on and everything, like
Speaker 7: the night or two after I brought that stuff home,
Speaker 7: my truck alarm, I would I locked my truck even
Speaker 7: out of my house, like I that's the one thing
Speaker 7: I would do at Calli's house wherever it was. I
Speaker 7: would lock my truck. My alarm went off in my
Speaker 7: truck every single night for like and you know when
Speaker 7: it's cold, like your electronics get squirrely, and that can
Speaker 7: happen April or May. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like weird stuff
Speaker 7: like that. And I could not figure out what the
Speaker 7: deal was and then one day it just it just
Speaker 7: stopped doing it and it's never done it ever again.
Speaker 7: And that was drug. That was the first same truck.
Speaker 7: But that was the first same truck that happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you have it in hardy flogs?
Speaker 7: Then no, I didn't. But and you know, okay, So
Speaker 7: here's my like's crazy theory is that whatever it was
Speaker 7: rode home and got in my truck with me, and
Speaker 7: I swear to god, it was like it was trying
Speaker 7: to get out or something. I mean, that's the way
Speaker 7: that I can describe it. Because the only way alarm
Speaker 7: can go off. But if your truck is locked is
Speaker 7: if somebody's in it and they try to get out.
Speaker 7: You know, you know what I'm talking about. You're in
Speaker 7: a locked call and you try to get out of
Speaker 7: the alarm goes off. Yeah, and that's the only thing
Speaker 7: that I can think of. Yeah, so your truck is
Speaker 7: going off. It makes sense because I mean, if you
Speaker 7: lock somebody, if you lock like even if you lock
Speaker 7: your wife in the car for five seconds while you
Speaker 7: run in whatever, she's you know, she's like locked the
Speaker 7: doors while you go on the gas station, if she
Speaker 7: opens that door or if she even on some of
Speaker 7: the newer stuff.
Speaker 2: If you even move around inside the truck the alarm. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and that's what you're saying. It went off for how long?
Speaker 2: A week?
Speaker 7: Yeah, at least a week, A couple of times at
Speaker 7: her apartment, a couple of times at mind.
Speaker 2: Wake Up Ford Ghost. Dude.
Speaker 7: So we came, dude, and I felt like an idiot
Speaker 7: doing this. But she she bought some Sage and she
Speaker 7: looked like googled all this stuff.
Speaker 2: Indeed, she was like, she was.
Speaker 7: Like, it says to Sage. Every doorway, every crack, every
Speaker 7: corner in your house, open all the windows and all
Speaker 7: the doors. You walk in with an intention, and you
Speaker 7: tell it. You just you tell it to get out.
Speaker 7: And you you you don't say it like we're afraid
Speaker 7: of you. You just you tell it to get out.
Speaker 5: So, dude, I walked in there, Jesus.
Speaker 7: Son, all of it, and I was like, and I
Speaker 7: was just like, I'm you know, if I have something
Speaker 7: of yours, I'm sorry. I can promise you I treat
Speaker 7: it with respect, but you're not welcome here. This is
Speaker 7: our home, and uh, you're making us uncomfortable. And do
Speaker 7: we did? We did the thing and open up the
Speaker 7: doors and they said, like, you saved a door really good,
Speaker 7: and you're like, get out of here now, and dude,
Speaker 7: not a single thing happened after that. She had left
Speaker 7: us alone. But here's the craziest thing is my mom.
Speaker 7: My parents used to go out there sometimes and just
Speaker 7: like hang out. It's like I'll get away because they
Speaker 7: live here in town. And my mom would go out there.
Speaker 7: And she texted me a couple of times before I
Speaker 7: moved and she was like, and my mom has never
Speaker 7: told a lie in her life. And she was like, son,
Speaker 7: I don't know what's going on in your house. She
Speaker 7: was like, I went in your guest bedroom and the
Speaker 7: lamp started turning on off And this was after the
Speaker 7: Sage thing, and she was like, and I said out loud,
Speaker 7: I'm leaving. I'm getting out of here, and then said
Speaker 7: that she would walk by the front door which had
Speaker 7: a lamp beside it and said it was started turn
Speaker 7: and then she left and she was like, I never
Speaker 7: will go back. And that was after the sage. So
Speaker 7: if it didn't leave, it at least like left us alone.
Speaker 7: But I never we never had a problem after that.
Speaker 7: And that's oh, and then it is getting better. Cally
Speaker 7: and I didn't tell anybody about this podcast.
Speaker 5: Rushmore stories right now for sure, dude.
Speaker 7: So I told Hunter about it after everything it finally
Speaker 7: kind of fizzled down, and he was like, when was that?
Speaker 7: And I gave him like the exact date and he
Speaker 7: and he like went back and he was like, dude,
Speaker 7: they lived in like a townhome. You could ask him
Speaker 7: about this, and he was like, my, I woke up
Speaker 7: one night to my dog barking. He was like, Laila
Speaker 7: heard his German shepherd. He was like, she never barks
Speaker 7: the middle of the night. And I woke up and
Speaker 7: I heard a big thud downstairs. And they're in like
Speaker 7: a town home. They have a baby. The dog was
Speaker 7: upstairs with them. She started barking. And he said that
Speaker 7: the next morning he went down and his arrowhead case
Speaker 7: had been unlatched and opened because he brought some stuff
Speaker 7: home to bro.
Speaker 2: He that ain't no liar, He don't hell.
Speaker 7: And uh, maybe.
Speaker 2: I don't wicked. Maybe I just don't let that ben.
Speaker 7: But you know I didn't. I didn't take that stuff back.
Speaker 7: I still have it. I mean, there all of roast
Speaker 7: pray over your forward When I leave. What if my
Speaker 7: truck alarm starts going.
Speaker 3: That would.
Speaker 2: To convoy Greading Morgans and a convoy only.
Speaker 10: To think I think that was Afghanistan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with your band, I was, and I was the
Speaker 2: first play you know.
Speaker 10: I was actually in the Army reserves at the time
Speaker 10: and I was the first artist to go over to Afghanistan.
Speaker 10: We went to Kandahar. First people there. They were literally
Speaker 10: still sweeping up glass out of the airport. They would
Speaker 10: have their briefings in the morning, the command briefings at
Speaker 10: the Red Cross station that they had set up when
Speaker 10: we went over that we stayed in. They call them
Speaker 10: GP mediums. Is a tent with a wooden floor.
Speaker 1: Did you want to do did you say, hey, I
Speaker 1: want to go over there and play for the tips
Speaker 1: right now during war?
Speaker 10: Yes, absolutely I wanted to come on.
Speaker 3: Yeah we did. It was just like that.
Speaker 5: But to your question, right, the scenario that happened.
Speaker 6: Oh, so we were driving.
Speaker 10: We had to go from point A to point B.
Speaker 10: Point B being an outpost. We were supposed to fly,
Speaker 10: but because of all the ground to air they canceled
Speaker 10: the flights. Instead, we're going to go vehicles, So they
Speaker 10: brought in these really nice vehicles, you know, bulletproof glass
Speaker 10: and stuff.
Speaker 7: So wasn't that terrible deal?
Speaker 3: Now sat down vs. General.
Speaker 10: I want to say it was Hughes Shelton was the
Speaker 10: commanding officer at the time of everything over there, and
Speaker 10: he knew me because I'd worked for him at the
Speaker 10: eighty second Everyone Division. And it came time for the briefing.
Speaker 10: So they have this captain that's out there give in
Speaker 10: the what they call a convoy briefing.
Speaker 3: He's given the.
Speaker 10: Brief and then the general interrupted him and said he
Speaker 10: looked at the commander and the senior inco and said, listen,
Speaker 10: if anything happens out there, he's in charge.
Speaker 3: He pointed at me.
Speaker 10: And these guys have no idea who I am.
Speaker 8: They just know I'm and uh.
Speaker 10: And so we're going down the road and I got
Speaker 10: my drummer sitting beside me. Was also an acoustic player
Speaker 10: at the time. He did a bunch of that kind
Speaker 10: of stuff.
Speaker 2: Well, are these are these dudes that like have not?
Speaker 1: Are they like he never beenlle Nashville musicians.
Speaker 10: Yeah, they've never been out of the country. I don't
Speaker 10: know that he had ever been out of Myrtle Bee, Carolina.
Speaker 2: I didn't I signed up.
Speaker 5: For myrtles a big jump.
Speaker 10: They just app everyone I've ever taken over there loved it.
Speaker 10: But he was sitting on that side. I was sitting
Speaker 10: on this side. We're going down and about you know.
Speaker 8: We're like the fourth or fifth vehicle.
Speaker 10: Back in a hum vy and uh, like I said,
Speaker 10: a suicide bomber tried to come out and they ended
Speaker 10: up shooting in the coo. Yeah, and the convoy start
Speaker 10: is stopping, and so I grabbed the microphone and said, move, move, move, move,
Speaker 10: do not stop. This convoy start hollering, grab the weapon
Speaker 10: from the uh TC and so I'm hanging the weapon
Speaker 10: out and the convoy takes back off again.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 10: And we get past it and you know, they're just
Speaker 10: pulling a sheet up over the guy. You can see,
Speaker 10: you know, stuff everywhere with it, you know. Uh I
Speaker 10: mean I say blood and stuff everywhere. And uh my
Speaker 10: drummer is like literally just losing his mind. Oh yeah,
Speaker 10: like just losing his mind. And I didn't think anything
Speaker 10: about it. I'm just like, oh, jacked up, freaking Amen.
Speaker 2: We're shooting bad guys.
Speaker 5: That's happening in the back.
Speaker 11: This is real.
Speaker 2: I am back my boy, you know, I'm with my boys.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 10: And so we get up to where we're going and
Speaker 10: I'm still.
Speaker 3: A little jack.
Speaker 8: So I get out with this guy's weapon.
Speaker 10: I forget I've taken his weapon and I'm you know,
Speaker 10: I'm I'm crossed up with his gun. And he's like, hey, hey, sir,
Speaker 10: can I have my weapon back? Like, oh, bro, I'm
Speaker 10: sorry here, and Mike goes, I mean he was like
Speaker 10: literally shaking drummer.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: And he said, He's like, man, that's this weird, scariest
Speaker 10: thing I've ever seen there experience in my life. I'm like,
Speaker 10: oh man, it was all good. I told you, these
Speaker 10: guys were taking care of them. But we're safe for
Speaker 10: here the Nashville after nine, you know. And we got
Speaker 10: talking about and he goes, yeah, he said, I don't
Speaker 10: understand you man. The whole time this is going on,
Speaker 10: you're popping M and m's in your mouth like nothing's happening.
Speaker 10: I just, you know, went back into that mode that quick.
Speaker 2: That is all.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great story. That's a great story.
Speaker 1: Sidewalk Blood Trail. Yeah, it kind of got weird. There's
Speaker 1: a story about Luke Laird hunting the town.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So last year.
Speaker 2: After porch Are I cut yeah.
Speaker 12: You know, there's not a lot of time in the day.
Speaker 12: So during the rut, I'm kind of always prepared, and
Speaker 12: you know, I work write songs at home, and I
Speaker 12: had just dropped the kids off at school, and so
Speaker 12: it was like seven point thirty eight o'clock. I pull
Speaker 12: back in to our little cabin on our property and
Speaker 12: I get out and in the trees, I hear some
Speaker 12: I was like, oh, man, I hear some drestling over there,
Speaker 12: and it wasn't squirrels. So I run inside, grab my bow,
Speaker 12: come out to the front porch and kind of lean
Speaker 12: up against against the cabin, and I see a dough
Speaker 12: come out. So I was like, oh, here we go,
Speaker 12: because I knew they were chasing, and I just kind
Speaker 12: of no cover. I just stand right on the front porch,
Speaker 12: like just wide open, and I see a bucket's got
Speaker 12: his nose down and he runs like straight towards me
Speaker 12: to where I thought he was gonna run into me.
Speaker 12: Like so I'm just like, I just tried to make
Speaker 12: some noise, and he stands up, kind of looks right
Speaker 12: at me, and he's and he's broadside, but then he
Speaker 12: turned his head and it was just happened really fast.
Speaker 12: That one I did shoot with the compound aar went
Speaker 12: straight through.
Speaker 2: I was like, that's a good that was a really
Speaker 2: good shot.
Speaker 12: The problem is he wasn't aiming down towards where the
Speaker 12: more woods were. There's a subdivision right behind that cabin.
Speaker 4: Beautiful and subdivision.
Speaker 12: I thought he went down before that. So I gave
Speaker 12: it some time. I walked really good blood trail.
Speaker 2: How much.
Speaker 12: I know, you're so excited. I want to say, I
Speaker 12: gave it a good like half hour, so.
Speaker 2: A lot of time at.
Speaker 12: I know, I know, but I didn't know that because
Speaker 12: there was still a little bit of woods, and I
Speaker 12: thought I heard him crash like closer to I get
Speaker 12: I get in just easy able to follow. All of
Speaker 12: a sudden, followed right to this backyard of a house.
Speaker 12: The trail didn't stop, and I noticed walked through their
Speaker 12: driveway up around to the other side, and.
Speaker 5: I follow the blood trail, so.
Speaker 12: I didn't even I didn't go into their property, and
Speaker 12: I was just like, oh man, So I get in
Speaker 12: my truck, go down through the gate of that. It's
Speaker 12: a gaated community this other road, and I'm just looking
Speaker 12: everywhere and by this point, you know it's manicured, beautiful home,
Speaker 12: and I'm just looking and nothing go up. Turn around, asn't.
Speaker 12: I mean, there's moms out there walking And and as
Speaker 12: I drive down, I looked to the left and it
Speaker 12: was like on a hill there's beautiful white home and
Speaker 12: right in the middle of.
Speaker 2: The front yard.
Speaker 12: He's laying there, laying there, and there's two cars in
Speaker 12: the driveway, and I'm just like, I don't know whose
Speaker 12: house it is. I I literally just keep driving and sweating.
Speaker 5: Just so you're just thinking through what to do next.
Speaker 12: Yes, I knew I didn't do anything illegal, so that
Speaker 12: I was at least felt good about that. However, you
Speaker 12: don't know how people are going to react.
Speaker 1: This is the difference in where we grew up, and
Speaker 1: your brain kind of goes to that place of like
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, like these people were going.
Speaker 2: To be in a songwriter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, we're going to call the call.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 12: And I didn't know, and and so I just first
Speaker 12: thing I think to do is call my dad. I
Speaker 12: told him the whole situation. He's like, well done, the
Speaker 12: same thing, the same he said, First of all, if
Speaker 12: you got any camera on, he goes go change. Look,
Speaker 12: we're representable. Don't just roll up in there like a redneck.
Speaker 5: Good, that's good.
Speaker 12: I was like, all the good news is I didn't
Speaker 12: because I didn't even have time that I was just
Speaker 12: wearing my sweatpants or something. And then I was like,
Speaker 12: I just got to get this over with. So I
Speaker 12: turned around, pull up in the driveway, just like said
Speaker 12: a prayer, Lord, please let this go go before me. Yeah, please, God,
Speaker 12: just remove that deer from New York and.
Speaker 8: Put it back.
Speaker 6: Put it last ten minutes not even have happened, Jesus.
Speaker 5: So as I'm as I'm.
Speaker 12: I pull in, the deer's right here in the yard.
Speaker 12: Front door opens, this woman walks out, and I before
Speaker 12: she says anything, I'm like, I'm so sorry. It's like, hey, Luke,
Speaker 12: And I realized I knew her. Yeah, I was like
Speaker 12: hoping that that. You know, I didn't know her well,
Speaker 12: but she was our kids go to school where my
Speaker 12: kids do. And I was like, this is my worst fear.
Speaker 12: I'm so sorry that this deer she goes.
Speaker 3: Oh no, it's she goes.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 12: I called my husband at work and told him there's
Speaker 12: like there's a dead buck in her yard, and he
Speaker 12: told me that well, it is hunting season. I bet
Speaker 12: somebody will track it. So thank you, I said, well,
Speaker 12: so yeah, I said, I really appreciate it. But also,
Speaker 12: by the way I'm walking and her beautiful sidewalk, there's
Speaker 12: just blood. I was like, can I get if you
Speaker 12: let me were your hoses?
Speaker 6: No, She's like, no, we'll get it.
Speaker 7: I was like, oh my gosh, you a backstrap or.
Speaker 2: Something and then you blood trailed up a concrete yeah.
Speaker 12: And so then I backed up and I didn't want
Speaker 12: to be like, hey, by the way.
Speaker 5: Can you help me car right?
Speaker 12: So I literally, you know, I just grabbed the antlers.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: At that time, though, it's like pure adrenaline.
Speaker 12: I hope I don't blow my back out. Threw it
Speaker 12: up in there and got out of there fast. Two
Speaker 12: days sweating like crazy. It was so nerve wracking.
Speaker 6: That's a great story, and to the point.
Speaker 12: Where I was like, next year, I'm not even going
Speaker 12: to tempt and then I shot to this year. I
Speaker 12: thank you, but this is my new and who knows
Speaker 12: if this will work. But I'm like, Okay, if they're
Speaker 12: walking aiming towards that way, I'm not going to shoot them.
Speaker 12: But if they're going the other.
Speaker 2: Way, like, yeah, we'll see, we'll see that sixty walks
Speaker 2: out that way. This year was the ideal.
Speaker 12: It happened two times and I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2: It was. It was great.
Speaker 3: But that yeah, last year A.
Speaker 2: Good thing that you're doing that because I mean there's
Speaker 2: a lot of traffic in there.
Speaker 12: I'm trying to help keep the population.
Speaker 6: Yeah, here's one bad satellite.
Speaker 1: Out of the sky field. Janny Anderson took it to
Speaker 1: her showing too.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 13: The weirdest thing that happened is, I mean he had
Speaker 13: some like just for protection for him. He had like
Speaker 13: some little satellites up around just to kind of like,
Speaker 13: I don't.
Speaker 3: Know what they were doing.
Speaker 2: What do you means satellites like in the sky, satellite.
Speaker 5: In the sky, satellite big brothers be watching him.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean I get it. I think it's totally fine.
Speaker 13: I want the president to be safe.
Speaker 1: To thousand and just stops at the fence, he stops
Speaker 1: at the property line.
Speaker 11: Yeah, this was I guess I was in like sixth
Speaker 11: grade when was he present?
Speaker 2: Just kicked the doors in this place.
Speaker 13: Could happen, but but I just remember I was I
Speaker 13: was at school and my dad he picked me up
Speaker 13: and told me what happened earlier in the day. And
Speaker 13: he he was like, well, there was like this guy
Speaker 13: that was working for him out at the ranch and
Speaker 13: he was working on a fence and one of the
Speaker 13: satellites fell out of orbit and landed about twenty yards
Speaker 13: from it. And he called my dad and he said,
Speaker 13: mister Bill, something from out of space just fell on
Speaker 13: your ranch. And and so I just remember my dad said, like, so, training,
Speaker 13: we have this satellite in the back of the superbon
Speaker 13: right now. And it it was it's not that big, really,
Speaker 13: it was like.
Speaker 2: This is this is shocking.
Speaker 6: I'm going to say.
Speaker 13: It was two feet by two feet and it was
Speaker 13: covered in styrofoam, had a.
Speaker 5: Little pair of shoes like sitting in his bar.
Speaker 7: It had it had.
Speaker 13: A number to call if found on it, get at it.
Speaker 7: I'm not even kidding you. And so my dad, Puppy
Speaker 7: and my dad.
Speaker 13: My dad kept it in the garage and this was
Speaker 13: probably extremely against the law, but they didn't come and
Speaker 13: get it for a few days. I took it to
Speaker 13: school the next day.
Speaker 2: The president you did not take a show.
Speaker 13: I was like, I want to take this to science class, Dad,
Speaker 13: And anyway, so that's probably the craziest thing that happened
Speaker 13: during the President put.
Speaker 2: That in the top three stories we've had on this podcast.
Speaker 2: That's a clip that's got just listen. The punch to
Speaker 2: that is that you took it.
Speaker 3: Story.
Speaker 2: You gotta slip.
Speaker 5: That was like a well written song right there listening.
Speaker 2: Sorry for I would I'd pay good money to say
Speaker 2: a little training with this sad front.
Speaker 5: Found White House crazy.
Speaker 2: You should have put that number in your phone.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I need to ask my dad just to kind
Speaker 13: of like retell me the facts and because like I haven't.
Speaker 13: That was like the version of the story through like
Speaker 13: my fifth grade or sixth grade eyes.
Speaker 7: I forget what year it.
Speaker 2: Was, but that's a beautiful anyway.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it was a it was a wild time. There
Speaker 13: were a lot of interesting things that happened.
Speaker 7: And I met him and my mom played golf with him.
Speaker 13: He asked to fish at the ranch and my dad
Speaker 13: told him, Now, yeah, your dad.
Speaker 5: Told the president though. Anyway, dude, you're all a private
Speaker 5: lake man. That's you stock it. You know what fish
Speaker 5: are in there? You a man, We'll keep it to yourself.
Speaker 13: My dad apparently wasn't going to be invited to join,
Speaker 13: and so my dad said, well, hell.
Speaker 7: No, you can't come fish in my ranch.
Speaker 12: Thing.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I love the fact that your dad had the guts.
Speaker 2: Sounds awesome, awesome.
Speaker 4: He's a character.
Speaker 13: I was raised by a character.
Speaker 1: Better watch for them snakes when you're walking through the stickies.
Speaker 1: Here's Randy Montana and Rattlesnake Ricky.
Speaker 5: If you listen to the Brothers podcast, you've heard this story.
Speaker 2: Oh I told it on there.
Speaker 5: Oh dude, is this is a great story.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But for our new listeners, man, this is this.
Speaker 2: Is one million percent true. And I just co write
Speaker 2: this story with me because it's been ten years at
Speaker 2: this point probably so help me get through it. But
Speaker 2: the abbreviated version is me and Randy were going hunting.
Speaker 2: We were going turkey hunting, and on the way to
Speaker 2: the camp, we stopped by a gas station. I don't
Speaker 2: care to even say where it was. It was on
Speaker 2: the corner of the main intersection in Columbia where you
Speaker 2: take that right on those coordinates runella. Yeah, they got
Speaker 2: great gas stations chicken. I'll tell you to drop you
Speaker 2: a pen. I will share those where the best gas
Speaker 2: station chicken strips are. Anyway you know what I'm talking
Speaker 2: about right there on the left or that shell. All right,
Speaker 2: we go in there. We walk in the entire way
Speaker 2: down sixty five. We had been talking about rattlesnakes and
Speaker 2: getting bitten by rattlesnakes. I don't know why. We were
Speaker 2: just yeah, right, we were talking about it.
Speaker 5: Turkey out.
Speaker 2: It was on our brain. So we pull up into
Speaker 2: this gas station. We get out. I'm like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: you a couple of chicken strips. This place is awesome.
Speaker 2: Let's knock it out, you know. We walk in, we
Speaker 2: go in. There is this chicken strip at like four thirty.
Speaker 2: It was not before.
Speaker 5: It was not before. That's right, that's chicken strips.
Speaker 2: It was like, So we roll in there and we
Speaker 2: I can't even make this up. I can't. This story
Speaker 2: is so crazy. It doesn't sound real, but I promise
Speaker 2: this is real. We walk in and straight out of
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty five is a guy behind the counter with
Speaker 2: feathered blonde Yeah hair.
Speaker 5: What is feathered?
Speaker 12: Me?
Speaker 3: Like blonde?
Speaker 14: It was like it was like flat iron straight but
Speaker 14: but fixed.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He just looked like the guy that was in a He.
Speaker 14: Was kind of ripped was he was a white It
Speaker 14: looked like he was in a White Snake.
Speaker 2: Video White Snake, Which Snake?
Speaker 5: And even super Tan Switch think about it.
Speaker 3: It was April.
Speaker 7: How was that guy?
Speaker 5: I still think he was an angel or.
Speaker 2: Could have been either.
Speaker 5: Angel or ghost.
Speaker 12: I can't make this up, dude.
Speaker 2: I can't make this up, dude. He had an ear
Speaker 2: ring that looks beautiful, just a diamond ear ring. Maybe two,
Speaker 2: I don't know, but definitely one. No, it was one.
Speaker 2: It was just one. Yeah, And so we walked in
Speaker 2: and uh, this noticeably, I guess we were in Camo
Speaker 2: or something. He recognized we were going. He had a
Speaker 2: a skin graft.
Speaker 15: Yeah, he was like ripped and I remember, but there
Speaker 15: was a giant like the entire top of his arm
Speaker 15: was grafted, obviously not regularly born with skin so much
Speaker 15: so you could see like his ten ins and stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, something went down.
Speaker 2: We walk up to the thing to pay for our strips.
Speaker 2: The guy goes, we don't see anything. He goes, you
Speaker 2: boys going hunting. We were like, oh, well we're headed
Speaker 2: to camp tonight, you know, And he goes, watch out
Speaker 2: for them rattlesnakes. Didn't he we had just been talking
Speaker 2: about for an hour. Yeah, he goes watch out for
Speaker 2: them rown snakes, and me and Randy look at each
Speaker 2: other like, wow, what happened. I'll give it to you.
Speaker 2: You take this part of the story. How did he
Speaker 2: tell us it's just a lot of my line.
Speaker 7: Well, he was just like, yeah, he started telling us
Speaker 7: he's back.
Speaker 14: I was seventeen years old, and he goes, thought I.
Speaker 4: Was bulletproof, and he says, I picked up He.
Speaker 14: Goes, there was one, you know, on the ground or whatever.
Speaker 14: Somebody dared me to pick him up, he says, So
Speaker 14: he picks it up, and he just like and then
Speaker 14: he points at that big skin graft up his arm
Speaker 14: and he goes, and that's what happens that Venom runs
Speaker 14: up yond you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like it's something telling us this, and we're just like,
Speaker 2: no way, this is.
Speaker 5: After we've just been talking about just looking at this.
Speaker 2: We're just starting at this.
Speaker 5: Ten Angel slash Ghosts.
Speaker 2: Out of a nineteen eighties music video, Venom runs a
Speaker 2: Beyond bull Yeah yeah, but it's real nice about it
Speaker 2: s sweet. So it just didn't fit. It just didn't fit.
Speaker 2: It's We're like, that's weird. We hit the truck, drive
Speaker 2: to west and see spend the night get up the
Speaker 2: next morning. It was that bird that lived on top
Speaker 2: of that hill.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, about five years.
Speaker 2: Five years, so me and Randy getting there super early.
Speaker 5: Probably that bird had probably we put him to bed
Speaker 5: twenty seven We.
Speaker 2: Put him in bed. Yeah, we put him in to bed.
Speaker 14: Okay, and then from the bottom and then we're like, well,
Speaker 14: we'll walk the ridge in the morning.
Speaker 2: I mean, call this bird up. Bird stays at what
Speaker 2: eighty not shooting range.
Speaker 14: Oh, I've never seen a bird hit the ground in
Speaker 14: like less than that bird did.
Speaker 2: And it was super early, super early. He's fanning, strutting,
Speaker 2: I mean, gobbling. Everything you wanted to do, will not
Speaker 2: hadn't even been haunted that year, and I think that
Speaker 2: was early. And so we sit there and and toy
Speaker 2: with his bird for hours until we're like, dude, that
Speaker 2: he ain't coming. Let's go get on another one. We turned,
Speaker 2: we get up, we're walking back up the ridge to
Speaker 2: the truck, and I see Randy pick his right foot
Speaker 2: up to go to step over a log and ask.
Speaker 2: The morning after we see rattlesnake Rickey. The morning after
Speaker 2: we meet that guy. He raises his leg. There he is,
Speaker 2: or he goes there she is and I said what
Speaker 2: he was like, he puts his foot back down. I
Speaker 2: stepped over and cold up is the biggest, probably four
Speaker 2: and a half five foot, you know, not super long,
Speaker 2: but I'm telling you like a Louisville slugger. It was
Speaker 2: this big and and the craziest thing about rat. And
Speaker 2: this was the thing I always I tell this when
Speaker 2: I tell the story, I always think about this. Every
Speaker 2: snake I've ever ran up on Copperhead, any of that stuff.
Speaker 2: During both season or whatever, we'll see you and kind
Speaker 2: of dip. This rattlesnake is like literally looks up at
Speaker 2: us and it's.
