It just sounds to me like, if you're an Amish person, you'd be mad at the Mennonites.
Speaker 2:Oh, I think so, because they're kind of.
Speaker 1:Posers yes, they're taking some of that credit, but yet not following the strict guidelines of the Amish. That's what it sounds like.
Speaker 3:Let's start a war. Well, you got Taylor Swift. I mean, she used country music as a stepping stone to get where she is so she could step in the bubble. The stepping stone went into the bubble. She's still in there. She's not going to come out ever. She's got her jet. She's going to spew her jet fumes all over the atmosphere and then bitch about somebody else that's doing it.
Speaker 2:We all have a text saying hey, I got this person, got this person. Hey, I got this person, got this person. So I was watching TV a few days ago and it's on Fox and they're doing the RFK confirmation hearings. And he gets through and he gets confirmed and I text the group and I go RFK confirmed and then I get the responses Bro, what?
Speaker 4:Amazing Dude, that's incredible, you'll hit it first. I'm right behind you, badass curtain. It's freaking amazing. You're on fire.
Speaker 3:I read that and I'm like he got RFK to come on our podcast.
Speaker 2:I was like no way. And I was like these guys really didn't think he was going to get confirmed.
Speaker 3:Confirmed was the loose term there.
Speaker 5:The Try that in a Small Town podcast begins now.
Speaker 2:All right, we are here. This is the Try that in a Small Town podcast Coming to you from the Patriot Mobile Studios, we love the Patriot Mobile Studios.
Speaker 4:We do.
Speaker 2:We got Neil, we got Kalo. We got Neil. We got K-Lo, we got.
Speaker 3:TK. We're going with first names today. Huh yeah.
Speaker 2:I feel like we need to get reacquainted. You see, Ed's nicknames that he proposed for me. They're a little too cool, I think.
Speaker 1:What are they? I didn't see that Sky Sky Air.
Speaker 2:Air Kurt Because. I jump in the air and also I'm a master of the airwaves.
Speaker 3:So we got sky air. It sounds like Ed lives his life high.
Speaker 5:It sounds to me like no, it has to be like old sky because you jumped higher.
Speaker 4:later, like earlier in your career, you were really high, you know.
Speaker 3:So it's old sky I get well, some some days kurt is blue sky, some days he's gray some days today he's been.
Speaker 2:He's been kind of in between yeah, a little bit of cheap dark cloud yeah, a few passing clouds here and there partly cloudy uh, we've got a little bit of an eye issue here at the table, kayla. What is? Is that thing you got?
Speaker 4:called. Oh, I don't know. It's a couple things. Sorry I was late.
Speaker 2:But I've got a sty, so hopefully they can zoom in on that. But you've got something way worse.
Speaker 4:Well, I've got that, but then I've got like I don't know if it's a great topic, but you have rosacea, which is one of these things that breaks down your face nose everywhere and you can't get rid of it, so it's forever right like herpes yeah except you don't get it.
Speaker 6:You don't get it.
Speaker 1:The same way you don't get it the same way so I'm gonna start saying that it's just rosacea, yeah, but you don't go away but, this one sounds
Speaker 4:yeah, but you don't get rosacea below your neck though it's kind of like a wine, oh, it's a rosacea, but anyway, so, uh, so this side's rosacea, then you get a little stop, but then they've kind of combined. So I had to get somebody to come over the house and give me steroid pack. And you know, do you see hot compress and stuff like that?
Speaker 2:but uh, do you see totally seething at you, right, yeah this.
Speaker 1:I really don't care about your eye problem. I'm sorry. Well, I'm sitting here with a useless left eye and you got a sty. You'll be fine yeah, fine rosacea hey a
Speaker 2:lot of people struggle with it. God, I'm gonna send a picture to jim so he can show it on the podcast I had.
Speaker 3:I expect rosacea once I expected it was bad to look worse when he walked in, but I can't even tell.
Speaker 4:I know I didn't even notice. That's because I've been working on it for the last two hours.
Speaker 2:Oh, all right, you still look good, had some hot compresses and everything All right. Let's get to something good. It's not easy being on camera.
Speaker 1:By the way, I like you growing your hair out. Thanks On the sites.
Speaker 5:Thanks, I'm growing mine out too Well, it's too expensive to buy your hair and stick it up like that I just put a hat on I'm just jealous of it. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:You said, you had something good to say it's not really good.
Speaker 3:I don't know if they've actually taken the smuckers, uncrustables, out of the grocery stores yet, because they haven't been to the grocery store in a while. But I sure hope they don't okay. So what's the deal with it's because it's unhealthy, they say what's an Uncrustable?
Speaker 2:is it the dye? You don't know what. I don't know.
Speaker 3:Uncrustables. It's just this beautiful round crimp it's a sandwich with no crust.
Speaker 2:Oh, do you put them in the fridge and stuff?
Speaker 3:yeah you put them in the freezer and they're really good beautiful crimped edges okay, and it's a round sandwich and I would put them in my backpack when I would go deer hunting or turkey hunting and did rfk I hope he didn't, I really hope well, rfk is not gonna. It's the one thing that's over the line. It's kind of like cool ranch doritos it's over the line, but do you know what?
Speaker 2:a little bit I saw an instagram or an expo, so it must be true, uh, but they were talking about oh, we used to eat all that stuff when we were kids, but it is. It is made differently now. Doritos used to be real ingredients, now it's seed oils and all the crab that goes. That's why they're trying to ban that stuff it isn't that they didn't. It's like mcdonald's fries used to be done in beef towel but now they did all that.
Speaker 3:They added all those things behind our backs, and why?
Speaker 2:well, because they were they were good.
Speaker 3:I mean, I really don't know why. Why don't they just leave it alone and just keep making them like they used to make them because we loved them. Then like we love them now why are? They trying? Are they trying to literally? Are they trying to probably cheaper?
Speaker 4:well, well, no, are they trying to kill us?
Speaker 3:it's not. It's not no well, it doesn't make sense. It's cheaper if there's more ingredients in it doesn't make.
Speaker 4:It doesn't make sense at all a lot of it is the marketing. They do things to make things look better to our eyes, which makes us process things different in our brains. For example, milk is not that white guys, it's just not. It's not pristine white.
Speaker 1:It's not really healthy to make it that white. That's true. Is it yellow? That's why I'm picturing it as yellow. Well, if you've ever been to a farm, you've got relatives and stuff.
Speaker 4:Yeah, we can say teat. It has a teat tint to it, but no if you've had like real cow's milk and stuff like that and you're used to having stuff out of the store, you're like what the hell is this? It tastes terrible. What about breast milk? Is it that way?
Speaker 1:No, it's about the same, I don't know, I'm not quite sure.
Speaker 3:It's been a while I've had whole milk from the Mennonites in. Perry County, where my farm is, and when it's ice cold, you're right, it has a little darker, it's got more vanilla color to it, but there's nothing better on the planet than straight out of the teat.
Speaker 2:Nothing. Hey, neil is a Mennonite, an Amish. Is that the same thing? No, what's different?
Speaker 3:Mennonites actually have cell phones and some have electricity.
Speaker 4:Stop when Mennonites actually have cell phones and some have electricity. I had a company called Men of White.
Speaker 1:Chicken but I didn't get off the ground. A Mennonite Sounds like something out of.
Speaker 3:Star Wars, you've never heard of a Mennonite. No, really.
Speaker 2:I kind of thought they were Amish-ish. They are.
Speaker 3:Amish-ish.
Speaker 4:Do they like that term? That's what they're called. That's what they're called. I don't know.
Speaker 3:That's what they're called. That's what they're known, as they have Mennonite communities.
Speaker 4:But they get a little more creature comforts yes.
Speaker 3:They have cell phones, they have trucks, they have power.
Speaker 1:So what's?
Speaker 3:their thing.
Speaker 1:I don. They do eat what they grow. They don't do a lot of Do. They just have a certain dress code, like the Amish?
Speaker 3:Some of them dress like we do. Some of them dress like Amish-ish.
Speaker 4:I've got a great idea we need to get an Amish person, a Mennonite side by side.
Speaker 1:And let them go at it so they don't get along, Because I guarantee you, I guarantee you they're not. Well, because a Mennonite is, it could be one of us. It sounds like If you don't have a just coat and you don't have a wand? No, they can't look like you.
Speaker 4:Mennonites, don, you're not a godly, mennonite.
Speaker 3:Down in Perry County the ones that drive the trucks. Where's Perry County? It's about an hour and a half southwest of here.
Speaker 4:Past that big rock.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we call them semi-minis, the ones that drive trucks.
Speaker 2:Now that can't be a politically correct term.
Speaker 3:Well, they're not fully Mennonite Semi-minis, semi-minis.
Speaker 1:Is there a Mennonite community that they have to live inside those structure of the town?
Speaker 3:line. Some people. They have communities. Yes, what is that like? What's their house like? It's pretty basic. It's very nice live. They have wi-fi, maybe a lot, I don't know they have a lot of jams and candles, I'll tell you this.
Speaker 1:So if you're gonna call yourself a men in night yes, I can't have wi-fi. Really, I agree, I don't know.
Speaker 5:I think they can have it's too comfortable. I don't think they can.
Speaker 3:They don't have much cell service where they live too. They're, they're, uh, their communities are in the volleys.
Speaker 2:In the volleys no, not the volleys.
Speaker 4:They're volleys Down in the volley Down in the volley, like I said, and everything goes up. Is this all made up? No, I feel like you're making this up as you go.
Speaker 6:No no, no, no, no, we have neighbors down there they of their sentences and everything goes up.
Speaker 4:I want to go and but they're, they're super, super smart, bright people.
Speaker 3:How they're very hard, they can build very god they can build, grow, survive anything like an amish person but the amish sound more ish, they sound more hardcore.
Speaker 1:Amish sound amish are real hardcore hey, we have a.
Speaker 2:We have a. Uh, not all Mennonites have internet access, which would imply that they do have some, okay, while some more progressive Mennonite communities do use the internet, particularly for business purposes, you know. So, yeah, some of them do. Makes me think of Kingpin.
Speaker 1:Amish right? True, but that's Amish for sure.
Speaker 2:That's horse, and buggy, and some of the Mennonites have horse and buggy.
Speaker 3:Some of them are Mennonites are more Amish than they are Mennonite.
Speaker 1:It sounds like it's a little loose in the rules.
Speaker 2:We'll have to get some more information.
Speaker 3:They're super people, though I can't say enough good things about that community. Well, the ones that I've met are I've had a couple trespass on my farm and they don't care.
Speaker 6:Those are the bad Mennonites.
Speaker 3:There's a couple of them. There's a couple of them now. There's a couple of them down there that have you know they use A couple of bad seeds. They think if his dirt runs into my dirt it's everybody's dirt.
Speaker 4:And so they make themselves at home, kind of like we did with the Indians. Can we start over we're?
Speaker 2:definitely not pleasing a big crowd tonight.
Speaker 4:Maybe we are no guests tonight. Well, if they don't have internet, I mean they're not listening.
Speaker 1:No, it's fantastic and the ones who are shouldn't be Mennonites If they have internet.
Speaker 4:They can't tell anybody.
Speaker 2:Let's move forward. Okay, let's do it. Who's got something?
Speaker 3:What do you think is more interesting?
Speaker 2:to our listeners. Well, give me a choice.
Speaker 3:I mean we're going to get there. We're going to get to something good, but I think the Mennonite story is very interesting.
Speaker 2:I've learned something Me story is very interesting.
Speaker 4:I learned something Me too. We may need to study up on a little bit to make sure we're accurate as we can be.
Speaker 2:We're belittling the Mennonites. I'm not belittling the. Mennonites.
Speaker 1:To me it sounds like this may upset some Mennonites.
Speaker 3:if you're listening, you know how many Mennonites and Amish are from where you're from.
Speaker 1:Tons, not exactly where I'm from, but close, close-ish. Not really, though it just sounds to me like if you're an amish person you'd be mad at the mennonites oh, I think so, because they're kind of posers, yes, where they're taking some of that credit, but yet not following the strict guidelines of the Amish.
Speaker 5:That's what it?
Speaker 1:sounds like let's start a war.
Speaker 2:Like I said, I think it's kind of like Lutherans and Catholics.
Speaker 3:I don't see the where's the comparison there.
Speaker 2:Because Lutherans were basically formed from Catholics but allowed a little bit more leeway. Really, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3:I didn't know Lutherans were Different beliefs. Yeah, I thought that Lutherans were more of.
Speaker 2:I think they're one degree of separation from Catholicism.
Speaker 1:See, I'm Catholic, yeah, and so when you're Catholic you just think everyone's Catholic.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Well, on the Amish and the Mennonites, the thing that you do respect about them or I respect about them you do respect about them or I respect about them, and I get it. There's a sense that they try to stay just as, keeping a lot of the media, the TV, everything out as much as possible for them and their kids to not be sidetracked and get them away from God and the Lord's work.
Speaker 2:Well, that is an excellent point.
Speaker 4:They're trying as best they can to stay true to the word who is? Um like the amish and men and knights and stuff. They're not distracted by things that I'm distracted by, you know, like I'm watching breaking bad right now. They're not caught up in that. They're not, you know. They're not having to think oh god, I missed an episode tonight because we're recording an episode. True, that's a stress they don't have.
Speaker 2:That's true. That's a good point, though we could definitely learn from that.
Speaker 3:Maybe we should go live with the Amish for at least two hours For a week. No for a week and then do a podcast and have some on. I don't think they'd do it.
Speaker 2:You don't think they would?
Speaker 4:Well, we can't do the Amish because we couldn't record there. They have no power, so we could do Mennonite. I forgot about that. We could do a podcast at Mennonite. We could do the Mennonite one.
Speaker 2:I'm going to do my hair. That's a hot day, bro, Hot day. Okay, Kalo tell them about some guests we got coming up. Oh, we just confirmed softly confirmed.
Speaker 4:Ashley Gerle is the, most, uh, commercial, successful songwriter of all genres of music. So he's going to be here next week, so probably a couple weeks before it comes out good buddy of all ours and great guy and, uh, we're going to talk about a lot of stuff out, so talk about music and how he's surpassed 80 number one hits 80, number one and by the time he comes on, it'll be 84 probably maybe more.
Speaker 1:yeah, he might have five on there now, do you think? Do you think he he would 80 number ones by the time he comes on?
Speaker 3:it'll be 84. Probably, maybe more. He might have five on there now. Do you think he would reveal how he did it? Because I've done the math in my head, the hours put into writing, I've done all that. I still don't know how it's even attainable. Do you think he'll reveal?
Speaker 4:it. I think anything you ask him, he'll tell you, he'll tell it. I think you. I think anything you ask him, he'll tell you, he'll tell you. Yeah, I think those are things we ask that's gonna be. That's gonna be awesome it's gonna be good and he's a really good man. We'll get into other topics too. You know he's he's huge on mental health, you know, and uh, um, but I'll let him tell that story I'll take what he's taking yeah, yeah. So, uh, that's gonna be good, but we got somebody coming that same week.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we softly confirmed Tom Cruise Great.
Speaker 2:Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1:That's a really soft.
Speaker 2:It's very softly confirmed.
Speaker 5:Well, because we'll have that after the, that's actually the first lie that's ever been told on this show.
Speaker 4:Well, that way we can get into Scientology to follow up our great wisdom on the Amish and the Mennonites. So we should tell people the story.
Speaker 2:So we have a text thread and we go through and you know, we're all trying to get different guests on and we've got. We do have some great guests coming up I'm not just saying that, by the way, we really do and in March we've got. Well, we can tell them probably. Right, yeah, our good friend John Rich is coming on, which we think is great. Um dc drano, if you follow him on x or instagram, rogan is his name. He's an amazing guy. Uh, he'll be here. Uh, and some others that we can't say, but you'll need to tune in for. But anyway, so we all have a text, right? Hey, I got this person, got this person. So I was watching tv a few days ago and it's on fox and, uh, they're doing the rfk confirmation hearings and he gets through and he gets confirmed and I text the group and I go rfk, confirmed, and then I get the responses bro, what?
Speaker 5:amazing dude that's incredible, you'll hit it first, I'm right behind you.
Speaker 4:Badass curtain, it's freaking amazing, you're on fire. I read that. I'm like he was like badass curtain, it's freaking amazing, you're on fire.
Speaker 3:I read that and I'm like he got RFK to come on our podcast.
Speaker 2:I was like no way. And I was like these guys really didn't think he was going to get confirmed. Confirmed was the loose term there, yeah yeah. So we don't have RFK, but you never know. We have DM'd him, if we ever get him on.
Speaker 3:I'm asking him about, about the crustables yeah Okay, cool ranch and non-crustables. I almost think he would actually do it and cheese it oh.
Speaker 2:I think he would. I do. I mean, we had Cash, the FBI director, in waiting.
Speaker 1:We'll have Cash work on this for us. Yeah, okay, once he gets through some of the FBI stuff. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2:Jeez got to jeez, all right what?
Speaker 4:do we got? That's what's on the what's on the docket here tonight. Well, one thing I know that we're talking about it beforehand. You know it's a little bit disappointing for me, but uh, but the cheryl crow thing once again has kind of come up, so this is topical and this is good oh, it's good.
Speaker 3:It's good stuff, because she bashed our song.
Speaker 4:And I will say because we never really talked about this part of it. You know, like Sheryl Crow, to me and to Neil, was always I hadn't seen her in a long time, but for a minute you know when you're writing and recording for a you guys wrote a couple songs with her.
Speaker 1:And she's an incredible artist. She's an incredible artist, one of our favorites. No, seriously, can't argue with it and out of everybody.
Speaker 4:If people ask, still to this day, they say, hey, what's the coolest artist? I always come back to Sheryl Crow because she was so nice All the time. She was so nice. She'd just come downstairs and say, hey, here's this title. I said we're going to. I said y'all get that going, we'll record that tomorrow. And I remember and it was me and Chris DuBois at the time and Chris said, oh, we can't, we can't. We're writing tonight with Brad Paisley and Cheryl said is Paisley cutting tomorrow?
Speaker 4:And he said no, and she goes. I suggest you write this one. And then we did and she cut it, that's amazing, she's the coolest artist ever and she had us over to the house and stuff for dinners and stuff. Just a a very cool person. So I was. It did bother me when she came out early on Try that in Small Town and was bashing, bashing it. And now did she know that we wrote it or would it change her comments?
Speaker 2:probably not, but I didn't love that she went after the song as a bad written song, right, yeah, yeah and and I'll remember all the exact stuff, but it wasn't, wasn't?
Speaker 4:it didn't make us feel great no, of course not, I remember that and uh, and I don't think it's very positive about Al Dean.
Speaker 3:I could have cared less what she thought of my song Either you know.
Speaker 4:But anyway, I didn't really like that. But then you know.
Speaker 3:But now it's disappointing Going to.
Speaker 4:So that's just the setup to the second disappointing thing of her. We just saw her giving away her Tesla right.
Speaker 3:She sold it and gave the money to NPR of all places.
Speaker 2:Npr, yeah, which is first of all, I don't even get. She already paid the money for the Tesla. She already gave Elon the $100,000 for the Tesla, so I don't understand the statement she's making. He already made the money off you. I don't understand any of it.
Speaker 1:I don't understand any of this. It's like madness to me. I really do miss the day Talking about Sheryl Crow Huge fan I mean me and Kurt. We used to be in bands and cover her music, wanted to write songs like hers. She's incredible, incredible. You look at her and To me it goes back to the thing I'm like look, it's like okay, she the thing with the Tesla. Look, here's the administration. The whole country voted. I miss the days when the country voted. Here's the president. This is the next four years. You may not have voted or liked it, but this is what it is, and then in four years, you can try to change that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's just the way. America works, and that's the beauty of it.
Speaker 3:Let's put the question out on the table. Why do you all think somebody like Sheryl Crow hates Donald Trump so much? What's the number one reason, in y'all's opinion, that she would hate somebody like?
Speaker 2:that. Can I get to that in a second? Because I want to. I want to say this about her video. It's on a tow truck, she's waving goodbye, the trees are full of leaves and there are leaves falling on the ground, which means she lives in tennessee. Yes, means it wasn't filmed this month. No, yeah, so it was a stage thing from a couple months ago and she made it seem like this is her opposition to elon musk.
Speaker 5:Yeah and on top of that, and this has nothing to do with it, except it's bs except for if you're a rock star.
Speaker 4:Don't disappoint everybody and come out in sweatpants and your hair back and glasses and stuff. You look like a rock star.
Speaker 3:That was disappointing okay, so what was your? Question back to the question. Why do you think it's a great question? Why do you think she hates Donald Trump and conservatism and our song? Why do you think she hates Donald Trump and conservatism and our song? Why do you think she hates what we all stand for so much? First of all, I don't really care if she doesn't like the song.
Speaker 5:I don't either. It doesn't bother me, because that's the thing.
Speaker 1:There's lots of songs I don't like.
Speaker 3:Let's go back, take it back to Trump. Why does she hate that so much? I don't know if she knows.
Speaker 1:What is it? I don't know if she knows, or any buddy really knows, why they hate him so much.
Speaker 2:Neil, that's a good question.
Speaker 3:I don't know, that's always my question yeah, it's pretty obvious what kind of leader he's going to be Like him or hate him for his character, or however he comes across and the things that he says, the comments he makes. I get all that. Whatever, let's go deep here. The type of leadership and the leader that he is and the leadership that he brings to the White House and to the country. These people have to feel 1, thousand percent safer underneath that kind of leadership than the previous leadership you have to feel so much safer?
Speaker 3:I agree 100, so I'm, I'm, I'm always wrestling with. Why do these people hate him so much? Let's get past all the other the bullshit that you know. If you don't like him, you don't like him, so what?
Speaker 4:well, he doesn't. He doesn't align with anything they believe, and the better he does the matter.
Speaker 3:They'll get no no, when you say what they believe, what are you talking about? Be specific.
Speaker 4:Let's be specific on the beliefs here I don't know because I haven't, I haven't talked to cheryl crowe personally about what she doesn't like. But if just watching, watching the channel of news that I'm watching, if you flip over to another one, it's completely opposite. And for we talked about this a couple of weeks ago for a few days, you know the left was saying, you know we kind of missed it. You know we missed our base. You know we're not talking about the working man like tell it, tell it. We say you know, um, you know we, we completely missed it. And then I mean it wasn't a week or two weeks later to where the attacks have just went again. So it's not about anything they would be doing, it's just about attacking everything that he's doing. So the only thing I would say is like, what do they not like about him At first? They don't like him as a person, they don't like that he exists on the planet.
Speaker 3:They can't stand it, and I've already let's put that aside.
Speaker 4:And once you hate a person that bad, you hate everything. True, you hate everything about that person Nothing, he can't do anything good, no matter what it is. For that, it doesn't matter what it is. They won't agree that. Yeah, that's a really good thing.
Speaker 1:So real quick Before I forget on that point. So I feel like it started to happen again with the immigration thing and the border 145 Democrats opposed that bill to deport migrants 145 Democrats. So how did it change so much? Because, if I'm, tell me if I'm mistaken, but I feel like Obama, even Obama, was for a strong border.
Speaker 3:You can go back and see it all.
Speaker 1:So you can, it's on you, don't you know I?
Speaker 3:mean, I'm not making that up. Back in the day, when Biden had his brain, he was the same thing. You can see him talking about it like strong border.
Speaker 2:Well, that's what they ran on. That's what Clinton ran on. That's what Obama ran on. Clinton ran on.
Speaker 1:That's what Obama I mean, and they I've seen the numbers, they have deported right a lot. I don't, yeah, I don't think I was wrong about no, no, no.
Speaker 2:So that's what my confusion is like. Well, trump's doing it. It's bad.
Speaker 3:That's why I don't understand and that's pretty much it. Yeah, yeah, trump's, trump's name's on it. It's bad, it's all bad and now Elon's there.
Speaker 2:Boy, they don't like Elon at all. They used to love Elon. They used to love Elon. Now they don't. He's coming after their money. They're showing the thing on the IRS they're showing the thing with the.
Speaker 2:You see this with the social security numbers, yeah, yeah, and you know they've. I forget what it is, but they, they found over 60 million active social security numbers. And there are people in the United States and you see the age groupings have you seen the list? There's people that are like 250 years old, like they're still. I know a million people. He's just doing some housekeeping.
Speaker 3:I just saw the number on that too, the money that's going to those people that don't exist yeah it's. It is unbelievable somehow they're related to to somebody in a blue state it's like 45 billion dollars or something going that has gone out to people that don't exist. Oh and just numbers.
Speaker 1:They're going out to numbers congratulations are in order to whom? Congrats to elon gonna be a dad again for the 13th time.
Speaker 2:So nobody's perfect right, and elon's one of his achilles heels is he just gets people pregnant yeah, but if you have a mountain of money, I'd have like 40 kids just.
Speaker 1:Would you really?
Speaker 2:why not? But with I mean he has them with different.
Speaker 1:Yeah, maybe that's his call, that's his decision. It's a free country. He's keeping it free. Well, that's called old school.
Speaker 3:It's like free country. He's keeping it free. Well, that's called old school. It's like real old school. It's like Moses old school, it's like Tyreek Hill stuff man.
Speaker 1:Tyreek Hill I saw a thing where Tyreek Hill I don't know if it's Moses, they said.
Speaker 2:Tyreek Hill had more kids last year than he did touchdowns which is amazing.
Speaker 1:He had like five kids last year, but four touchdowns. Which is amazing again like five kids last year, but four touchdowns that's he likes his kids.
Speaker 2:Man, I mean, he's got paying for, isn't a problem. Well, there's issues.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, there's issues, but it's not like a you know somebody we know, if they have six kids right now, that's gonna be rough times, you know a third like a third know a third of the deficit has been uncovered already.
Speaker 2:I know A third it's mind-blowing dude. People are mad about it. Oh, they're big mad. It's taking away their money, kickbacks and all that, and we're songwriters and I can do that much math.
Speaker 3:It's amazing.
Speaker 2:All right, listen, we're going to stop right here, we're going to take a break and, uh, hear a word from our sponsor. Stick right with us. This is a try that in a small town podcast. You know what goes great with small town stories original glory america's beer right here you know, I've been drinking this every songwriting session today man, that clean, crisp taste reminds me of summer nights on the back porch after a fresh mowed lawn.
Speaker 4:And they're just not making great beer.
Speaker 2:They're investing in America's small towns. Well, it's just like us.
Speaker 3:They believe in bringing communities together. Not only do they invest in communities, but a portion of each sale goes to the veterans and the first responders and all the heroes that protect us, for a limited time, you can become a member of the OG fam and invest in this beer at wefundercom.
Speaker 4:Forward slash original brands no-transcript.
Speaker 6:My name is Glenn Story. I'm the founder and CEO of Patriot Mobile. And then we have four principles First Amendment, second Amendment, right to Life, military and First Responders. If you have a place to go to put your money, you always want to put it with somebody. That's like mine, of course. I think that's the beauty of Patriot Mobile we're a conservative alternative.
Speaker 5:Don't get fooled by other providers pretending to share your values or have the same coverage. Go to patriotmobilecom. Forward slash smalltown to get a free month of service when you use the offer code smalltown or call 972-PATRIOT.
Speaker 2:All right, y'all, welcome back. This is the Try that in a Small Town podcast coming to you from the Patriot Mobile studios. Speaking of Patriot Mobile, listen, we love those guys. If you haven't checked out their service, do so. Listen, here's the deal. On my phone I have AT&T, but I also have a second line, which is a Patriot Mobile line, which is T-Mobile. So if AT&T doesn't work, I just switch over to my other line. This is what they can do for you. What you need to do is go to patriotmobilecom forward slash small town, use the promo code. Guess what? It is? Small town. It's easy to remember. Absolutely Better be. Listen, you're not going to lose. Go there, sign up, I promise you. You're going to be thankful that you did. And the other one is Original Glory Beer. We love those guys. What was your slogan? Because they should be using this. They served America. You had a great slogan for them.
Speaker 4:I don't remember it was fantastic Serving America for something, because they're in the military and they flew jets and stuff. You said they served.
Speaker 2:Whatever, they should be using your slogan, but it's great beer.
Speaker 4:They're great people.
Speaker 3:We've got to dig that up, yeah, I don't remember saying that Well, you did, what did I say?
Speaker 2:No, I'll take credit for it Serving America. There's a lot of good shit that's come out of uh, original glory beer. Seriously check that out. They, their mission, is incredible. What they do is incredible. Great beer. Um, tell you said you had something you wanted to get to oh, it was.
Speaker 4:Oh, hold on, no, I just wanted. I just wanted to say something on patriot mobile because I just remembered this. Okay, my sister-in-law, which is one of the 12 listeners that we have, well, hold on it on.
Speaker 2:It went down to 11.
Speaker 4:Down to 11. Kurt says we're losing followers everybody. So right after we had the Patriot Mobile guys on, she said so. Russell, her boyfriend and I are going to check out Patriot Mobile for switching our cell phone service. Love it, I like that they have access to three networks. I've always kept. Can I say the other company Can? I say that I've always kept Verizon because of the coverage, but now they're going to go to Patriot Mobile based on the fact that we had them on the podcast, so I thought it was really cool.
Speaker 2:Listen, tell Glenn that they did a great job for being on there and just to piggyback on this and seriously, we love that they're our sponsor. But this is a great company, their mission. But listen, if you just have one carrier, you're missing out. Patriot Mobile will combine two carriers on your phone, so if AT&T isn't getting service, you can go to your T-Mobile service. Like you can't lose by going to Patriot Mobile. Do it please. It's incredible and make sure you use it, unless you're a liberal. Okay, that could be the caveat.
Speaker 3:You think they get the same service we do?
Speaker 1:Yes, liberals. Yeah, I think they do. I think Patriot Mobile is for all Americans.
Speaker 3:You think Sheryl Crow would get the same service I get?
Speaker 1:I don't think Sheryl Crow would give you the same service.
Speaker 3:I don't think she would be on Patriot Mobile, but I think Patriot Mobile would.
Speaker 1:I would think Patriot Mobile is for all.
Speaker 4:Americans. It's all inclusive. That's what I would think All inclusive For all Americans. I would think they would want business from all Americans.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I think so you okay, why do I feel like I'm on an? Island over here.
Speaker 2:That's what Thrash Dog does.
Speaker 3:I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know if Sheryl Crow, if I was the owner of Patriot Mobile, If Sheryl Crow needed another line, Patriot Mobile would give now. Sheryl Crow probably wouldn't take the other line, I would charge her double.
Speaker 4:But that's the great point, she's not going to get Patriot Mobile. It has the word Patriot in it. She's not going to get Patriot Mobile. It has the word patriot in it.
Speaker 3:It's got the word patriot.
Speaker 5:She's not going to do that.
Speaker 3:That's the thing, no.
Speaker 5:I don't like she'll eat it I don't think she's a patriot, do you?
Speaker 4:I don't know Caleb's staying out of it. No, no, no.
Speaker 3:No, no, let's be real, she's a wonderful person, artist.
Speaker 2:I have no idea, I don't know that. Did she cut one of your?
Speaker 3:songs. She didn't cut anything.
Speaker 4:I wrote with her Kalo's playing it smooth.
Speaker 3:I like it.
Speaker 2:I have the freedom to say what I want to about her, because she didn't cut anything that I wrote with her?
Speaker 3:What?
Speaker 2:record are you on?
Speaker 4:I don't remember the name of the record. It had Sheryl Crow on it, that's all we need to say. It was her country record. I'm not sure what the name of it I'm with you.
Speaker 3:I love everything about her music. She is she's incredible when it comes to that, but let's you know when we change the subject to patriotism and but for some reason, common sense for some reason.
Speaker 1:Why does it seem to happened? For example, I was watching the star night live 50th anniversary special Great, Really the best parts with the Eddie Murphy was on there and he was. Eddie Murphy is so funny, really funny. There was. There was some decent stuff, but I love Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks movies are amazing. I love Tom Hanks. I really do.
Speaker 3:He's been in some great movies. I love how y'all sugarcoat these people Before you fix the slam on them. No, no, listen to me, I'm saying because I appreciate what they do At their talent.
Speaker 1:I love movies. I love it. But he did another little parody Of a Trump supporter. He had done it in 2016. Oh really, and he did it. Little parody of a Trump supporter, he had done it in 2016. Oh really, and he did it again.
Speaker 2:The other night he reprised his role.
Speaker 1:He did it the other night and it really fell flat and I was watching it.
Speaker 2:Why did they feel the need to do that?
Speaker 1:That's my question, because, especially now where it's like, look, are you trying to insult over half the country? Because in this character it was very, you know, kind of a ridiculous character. He had a MAGA hat on and then he refused to shake a black guy's hand. That was his character, like a racist thing. That's insane.
Speaker 1:I don't understand where that comes from, or I guess my point is. I guess to go back to Kalo's point earlier it doesn't feel like they've learned anything from the election or as far as how people are thinking. What's his motivation there? I don't know. I really would like and I love Tom Hanks, I would love to ask him. I think they're just in that bubble, man. I just feel like they're in that bubble.
Speaker 2:Like the De Niro and she'll grow.
Speaker 1:De Niro is off the rails. I love De Niro, I love Robert De Niro. He's a great actor, incredible movies, but he's flying off the handle.
Speaker 3:Those people live in a bubble. They don't have a freaking clue what's going on out here in the real world. You're right, they are so separated from reality.
Speaker 2:They don't have a freaking clue. There's got to be a lot of it. They're rich.
Speaker 3:They don't have to worry about anything. Whatever their belief system is in their bubble, they're going to stick to it and bash whatever's outside their bubble. That's all it is. They have their bubble and they're safe in it. They can say what they want. They don't. They're not going to lose anything. What are they going to lose? Nothing. They have nothing to lose by saying whatever in the hell they want to say. They have nothing to lose. God, you know the bubble. People can kiss my ass you know, let's go neil no it's
Speaker 3:just really, and we even have some in country music. Yeah, the exact same way. They live in their freaking bubble. They don't have a clue what's going on out here. They don't know what's going on in my neighborhood or your neighborhood and they don't care, so they can say whatever they want to.
Speaker 4:Who are?
Speaker 3:a couple of those you want me to. I'll name names. I've asked people to name names before and I will freaking name names.
Speaker 2:Yeah, neil ain't scared right.
Speaker 1:Makes me realize who's been quiet in the Well, you got Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3:I mean, she used country music as a stepping stone to get where she is so she could step in the bubble. The stepping stone went into the bubble and she's still in there. She's not going to come out ever. She's still in there. She's not going to come out ever. She's got her jet. She's going to spew her jet fumes all over the atmosphere and then bitch about somebody else that's doing it.
Speaker 4:But she has that luxury. But you have country artists that have jets also.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you don't have to be a pop artist to have jets. Some of those guys have common sense. Some of those jet people, there's nothing better than flying private.
Speaker 5:I agree people, I, I would. There's nothing better than flying private. I was gonna say I agree I love.
Speaker 3:That's my whole point. No, I would fly private every the times that we've gotten to do it. It's amazing. It's awesome. It's a time machine. It's freaking great. It is amazing. You know, and I'm never gonna bitch about the fumes that that jet puts off, but the people in the bubble do the bubble people.
Speaker 2:It's the hypocrisy I'm telling you.
Speaker 3:Oh, it's the hypocrisy.
Speaker 2:The bubble people. I love that, the bubble people.
Speaker 3:And it makes the dome of the bubble get thicker and thicker. Their hypocrisy is a joke. Neil, you're on fire tonight. Well, you know.
Speaker 4:You're going to gain us some followers.
Speaker 1:It is what it is. Well, you know who country music has really missed. I don't know how we've managed to carry on since the loss of Maren Morris Because she just reminded me when you were talking about Taylor Swift. I haven't heard a peep. Oh, she went pop.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I haven't heard a peep.
Speaker 5:She's trying to get in the bubble, but her head's sticking out the top.
Speaker 3:They're like pull me in, pull me in the bubble please, and but they won't pull her in.
Speaker 5:They don't know if they should pull her in or not the bubble people she wants to be a bubble person.
Speaker 2:So bad that's so good, buddy, she showed, she showed.
Speaker 1:I mean, she's like she really showed herself. I don't get it. I really don't understand any of it.
Speaker 3:So the choice is for everybody. Do you want to be a bubble person or not? Because common sense does not exist in the bubble you have two choices bubble person or Mennonite.
Speaker 1:That's a fact.
Speaker 3:Right, exactly.
Speaker 1:Two ways to go, yeah.
Speaker 3:There's tons of people crawling on the top of the bubble trying to get in and some of them won't get in. They won't let them in.
Speaker 5:Are there any?
Speaker 1:trying to get out no. Not that I know of Like they're trying to get out, but they're kind of holding on to them.
Speaker 3:I think there's a lot. It's funny, you should bring that up. I think there's a lot of libs that have been, that are on the left side, that have climbed on the fence and they're riding the fence right now and they're like God, I don't know which side I need to fall on, because Trump has affected them that much and everything he's done in the last four weeks four or weeks has affected them that much.
Speaker 1:Hey, I got to tell you hate Trump or love Trump. It's a free country, but it's nice to have a president who's getting stuff done. He's doing work.
Speaker 2:They can't deny it, he is doing work.
Speaker 3:Can't deny it.
Speaker 2:And now all of a sudden, everybody's bitching about egg prices.
Speaker 3:I did yesterday. Yeah, $9. I did yesterday.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, $9. No, it is expensive.
Speaker 3:But then I go. That's less than a buck an egg. I wasn't that mad. Did you go to the store? Yeah, I went to the grocery store.
Speaker 2:Really, you went off campus.
Speaker 3:But it's like less than a buck an egg and everybody's still bitching. I'm like what's everybody bitching about? Go buy some chickens, quit bitching, go buy some, fix your own freaking problems.
Speaker 2:Quit bitching, buy some chickens.
Speaker 3:Come out of your freaking bubble, I mean your freaking bubble.
Speaker 6:I know you can beat that.
Speaker 3:Come out of your bubble and buy some chickens and quit going to the grocery store.
Speaker 1:Make a chicken bubble.
Speaker 3:There's plenty. Last I checked, there's no shortage of chickens. No, you know, you can have your own chicken coop.
Speaker 2:we've had them before we got a healthy chicken past year raised chickens. I'm sorry, I'm getting, I'm getting out of hand, sorry you know we should talk about we were saying this the other day how we should have a, uh, a golf tournament between the four of us. Neil and we're gonna have, oh my gosh, okay, are we gonna do this? We're gonna do it yeah, please tell me we're going to do this, but Neil is a really good golfer.
Speaker 1:He's really good. Those of you listening, he's Scratch.
Speaker 2:Okay, let's just say he's Scratch. Explain what Scratch means to those of you. Scratch means basically you shoot par. Explain what par means to those of you, now the three others at this table. Kalo actually has been close to that. What are you shooting now, kalo?
Speaker 4:Oh, I'd be bogey golf now which?
Speaker 2:is pretty good. Bogey golf means you shoot 90. He used to be a four handicap he can hit it.
Speaker 3:So the challenge is this the three of us Tully me and Kalo and you have to ride in the same golf cart. That's fine. Oh yeah, we're going to all ride in the same golf cart.
Speaker 4:Do we have to ride all in the front?
Speaker 3:No, you can ride on top. Nope, you can't hang like a caddy on the back. You all have to sit on the seat. I agree, all of you.
Speaker 2:But we're going to play best ball against Neil.
Speaker 3:I may have to give y'all. I need to average out handicaps, Neil I have a full handicap, it's okay.
Speaker 1:Whatever that means, I have all major forms of it. It's okay.
Speaker 4:We'll take the strokes You're going to give us strokes too, absolutely. We'll take them it would only be fair.
Speaker 3:You have to do it fair.
Speaker 2:Can we invite Alvin too? Can he be on team mentally?
Speaker 3:handicapped. No, he can't, he can't. He can video K-Lo. I could probably average out his handicap right now. I would probably You're probably going to cover the team I'd probably give a stroke, a hole, every hole probably, if you give a stroke a hole, we'll kill you? I think so. That's not true at all.
Speaker 4:If you give us a stroke a hole you'll lose.
Speaker 3:So let's do it right now. You'll definitely lose. Let me say let's do it right now. Let me say something let's do it right now.
Speaker 1:You know on salt. This is the worst conversation for me. You don't. You've never played golf with me. I'm just going off what you told me. It's way worse than there's times, neil, where the club doesn't make contact with the ball. Does that still count as a swing? Yes, okay.
Speaker 2:It does If you don't hit the ball.
Speaker 3:Well if you intended to hit it.
Speaker 4:If it's a practice swing.
Speaker 3:Are you on the honor system? Yes, yes.
Speaker 1:We'll know when it's a stroke and when it's not. I didn't intend to hit that ball, okay.
Speaker 2:Let's ask the listeners this. I know I'm not going to get a real-time response, but should we do the three of us best ball against Neal. Or should we go like Bryce DeChambeau and say the four of us try to break 50?
Speaker 1:No, you should try to beat Neal. I think that'd be fun, but he does it from the ladies' tees.
Speaker 2:I'll let y'all play from the ladies' tees and I'll still beat you. I think that'd be fun, but he does it from the ladies' tees.
Speaker 3:I'll let y'all play from the ladies' tees and I'll still beat you.
Speaker 5:I have to play from the ladies' tees.
Speaker 3:So let's do this, let's do this. You guys can play from the red tees.
Speaker 6:What are those Hold on?
Speaker 1:The three of us can play from the ladies' tees. Yes, I'll let in women's sports. No, no, no, here we go. I voted against that.
Speaker 3:Listen to me. Listen to me. We either play from the same tee and I give you strokes, or you play from the red tees and I play from the silver tees Can we play from the same tees maybe?
Speaker 4:No, I'd rather just take the stroke. Well, you want the strokes, okay. Okay, let's just say we want the strokes like men and three against one. No, no, no. You don't want to play me straight up. If you play, me straight up. No, we'd be playing like men that don't want to play golf, I mean.
Speaker 2:So let me ask this how can we make this productive for a mission of ours like can we have people bet? Can we set up a?
Speaker 1:thing like oh ten dollars no, it would be great to go to charity. That's what I'm going to say. What we'll do is like whoever votes or bets.
Speaker 2:Ten dollars is the whatever the maximum you can put in, but we'll collect all the money and we'll everybody that bets. We'll pick a town that somebody is from and we'll donate to the local.
Speaker 4:We'll pick a fire station or police department maybe, yeah, something like that and we'll to the local fire station or police department Maybe, yeah, something like that and we'll get the rules set before that happens.
Speaker 2:Right, we'll figure it out and we'll do the episode during the round.
Speaker 3:The basic thing is it's me against y'all and you have to ride in the same cart in the bench seat.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're small people.
Speaker 4:Three of you crammed in there together. We got small butts, my cigar hatchers. They're going to burn it all.
Speaker 5:No shorts.
Speaker 4:Do you drink when you golf? Maybe Depends on how bad it gets.
Speaker 3:Neil, do you drink when you golf? Yeah, sometimes yeah.
Speaker 4:Not all the time, but sometimes it merits it. I have to drink when I go to the field and Yeho is like swing juice for me.
Speaker 2:Swing juice.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it and yeho is like swing juice for me swing juice yeah, it's swing juice.
Speaker 2:Yep, okay, so we need help from the listeners, though we need, uh, some responses, because it's a great idea, though I've won the senior club championship at my club twice now oh jikes. So what did you?
Speaker 3:shoot. I shot the first day. I shot one under, oh my gosh. Second day I shot 75, I think, but it's because the guy in the senior championship his oxygen tank fell off on the last putt and it made a sound and he missed his putt.
Speaker 2:What course are we going to do this?
Speaker 4:at.
Speaker 5:It's so not good, it's so wrong, dude.
Speaker 4:But Neil, how does it feel?
Speaker 2:How does it feel the pressure though?
Speaker 1:of me playing behind him. There's no pressure. I don't feel pressure. Wouldn't you see the way I play my slice, bro? I don't feel pressure. The way I play my slice, no.
Speaker 3:I laugh at slices. The way I play my slice, dude, it is intimidating. I lick my chops when I see somebody slice. Like this is bad.
Speaker 2:Okay, like he's just bad. Okay, well, we need to.
Speaker 5:We need to make this happen right, and you're giving strokes. I don't feel like we need a fourth. I don't like that. No, he might have to give us.
Speaker 4:Why can't we just?
Speaker 1:try to see what happens straight up because here's the thing, okay.
Speaker 4:So so, look, you have a scratch golfer, then you have, let's say that that's even right.
Speaker 6:So if 72 is par that's that's even understand what this is I know, but listen, but listen to the point. I'm not completely retarded.
Speaker 4:This is going to help you okay, so tiger woods would be in his heyday, would he be? What a plus five seven, right? Okay, easy, so you could have. You could have 40 people playing against him. That are our skill level and he would win. It's not about the numbers of people, I understand.
Speaker 1:Okay, so we want strokes, but imagine, but imagine if we won and didn't take strokes.
Speaker 2:It's not going to happen.
Speaker 1:I don't think we would. You're just dreaming now.
Speaker 2:You're living in the bubble now Because if you're saying he went into the bubble, he went into the bubble.
Speaker 4:But listen, if you're saying accurately that nine times out of 10, you completely missed the ball, then you're not even on the team. Not nine times out of ten.
Speaker 1:Then we have me incurred Seven times out of ten.
Speaker 4:So I'm just saying it's not about numbers of people.
Speaker 3:Yeah, knowing my luck, kayla would be feeling it that day and he would See it's already. You see what's happening.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no.
Speaker 4:There's already a tiny crack in the psyche no good, he would stop talking to us and he would destroy us. So we got to practice. We got to have a team meeting.
Speaker 1:I'm very excited about this, though.
Speaker 2:Well, we need to make it happen.
Speaker 1:I still think we should get Aldean out there somehow I play my best when I'm just swinging free. Of course, I feel like a best ball situation, knowing that you guys have already played a good ball. I could just let it fly. I could hit the ball. It will for you.
Speaker 4:I could hit the ball 80, 90 yards and it might be a good idea you and I need some range time, like if you check Alden's handicap, it might be a good idea to have the four of us. I don't know what he's shooting now.
Speaker 2:He and I are close, so not good either of us.
Speaker 3:What's your?
Speaker 2:handicap Kurt, I'm a bogey golfer.
Speaker 3:You're not an 18.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, no, I am, he's really good. No, no, no, I like our chances here. Here's the thing with me.
Speaker 1:Neil.
Speaker 2:If somebody gets me in the fairway, I'm good in the fairway. If somebody gets you in the fairway, yeah, I'm not good off the tee.
Speaker 1:Really, yeah, hey, that's where my slice comes in. Handy off the tee, that's right.
Speaker 2:If you give me an approach shot, I'm pretty good, or I shouldn't say that I'm at least adequate. So you're saying your short game's pretty good. No, I'm saying if I'm 160 out, I got a good shot of putting one on. His ball goes high. Too high, too high. I like my odds.
Speaker 4:No, I love your odds. Let's wait a little after the winter storm, and then we'll get something together.
Speaker 2:The winter storm. There is a winter storm.
Speaker 3:I'm just looking forward to seeing what Tully's going to wear for our match. I better look cute as a button.
Speaker 1:I actually just got him out yesterday in my knickers because I was preparing for this. It's something I feel comfortable in those knickers. You have great calves.
Speaker 3:Dan I have okay calves. I have good calves. Kalo's got the best calves I've ever seen.
Speaker 2:Kalo is, but they're not all buttered up?
Speaker 5:they're not tanned I haven't seen
Speaker 1:the sun.
Speaker 2:I love this idea though charity, but we have to make it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we do need people to local first responder fire department. Yeah, we need to make sure we're doing something good for somebody, yeah oh, we will.
Speaker 3:I will beat y'all's ass for something good all right be be much obliged Okay.
Speaker 4:Well, you want to talk about the old bags of the view. What?
Speaker 5:Please.
Speaker 4:I don't know what you got, Neal.
Speaker 2:Speaking of the view and speaking of guests coming up. Whoopi Goldberg, not Whoopi.
Speaker 5:Michelle Tavoy is going to come on.
Speaker 2:Michelle Tavoy is going to come on.
Speaker 2:I think it's next week, so it'll be a couple weeks before it airs. But she was on the View, she was a guest host for a couple days and she's obviously more of a conservative voice and she was talking about COVID when that came out and just her stance on that, and they let her go immediately from her guest spot of the view, espn. I think they had a fallout when that came out. It's going to be really interesting anyway, so make sure you check that out as well. It made me think of that when you said the view who watches the view?
Speaker 1:did the View? Who watches the View? By the way, Did you see that Travis Kelsey meme? Sorry, Travis. No, let it rip he had more boosters than yards in the Super Bowl. Oh no what happened to. Travis.
Speaker 4:I guess Taylor, His hair looks great. I feel like just a few years ago we were best friends.
Speaker 1:We were going to play pickleball, he was coming out to shows. We were at the Masters with him, and now we were going to play pickleball. He was coming out to shows. We were at the Masters with him, and now he's getting boosted with Taylor Swift. It's like you have to be boosted to be in that suite. If she's in there, I wonder Sorry.
Speaker 2:You said DC Drano just posted something. What was it?
Speaker 3:DC Drano just posted something Donald Trump Jr said, and Trump Jr has called for the 25-year-old pizza delivery guy that rescued the four children out of the burning home, nick Bostic, who we interviewed that just a month or two ago.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he deserves.
Speaker 3:Trump Jr says he deserves the Medal of Freedom the. Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Speaker 2:And if you haven't seen that episode, make sure you go back and check that out, because it's it's like a what? How long was it? 15 minutes maybe. Uh, we just went over the. Basically that, what happened that night and what he did, it's an incredible story, right, and basically he's calling for people like that to get to yeah, instead of clowns like george Soros he said and he's dead on right, and I couldn't agree with Trump Jr.
Speaker 3:More Couldn't agree with that. More People like Nick deserve the Medal of Freedom so much more 100% Than most of the people they give it to. I agree, like Sheryl Crow.
Speaker 4:With the middle of freedom she may, which the album you were referring to earlier is called Feels Like Home oh okay, check out K-Lo's cut there, yeah called.
Speaker 2:Shotgun what's the name of the song Shotgun?
Speaker 4:that's funny.
Speaker 1:Shotgun that's funny to me it is funny.
Speaker 4:What's the hook? It's about a shotgun. No, I don't even remember.
Speaker 2:You don't remember, was it her title?
Speaker 1:Or is she writing shotgun? Is that it? That's original.
Speaker 4:I don't remember. I don't remember exactly.
Speaker 2:No, I mean it's not a bad title, depending on the way you hooked it hooked it but how dare her cut a song called shotgun?
Speaker 4:I don't think it was about. It wasn't about guns, no of course it was still just the time.
Speaker 3:How dare her?
Speaker 1:somewhere she's rolling down the window riding shotgun. I'm sure of it. I mean, I'm sure of it. She want to write a country song, and that's I want to feed on the shotgun feed on the dash rolling the window down good lord well, now you're talking about every artist you know what?
Speaker 3:all we can do is pray that these people come around and gain some common sense. That's all we can do out of the bubble we hope that one day the bubble pops and some of them get out hold on.
Speaker 2:We got the lyrics to shotgun. We got the lyrics to shotgun. We hope that one day the bubble pops and some of them get out. Hold on.
Speaker 3:We got the lyrics to Shotgun. We got the lyrics to Shotgun.
Speaker 2:You'd beg if I was under your edge but it ain't doing us any good Rolling through town going too slow. What we need is an open road. 400 horses need a little room to run. Well, if you ain't going to do it, let me show you how it's done. Drive it like it's stolen I like that. Park it like it's rented. What's the point of money if you ain't gonna spend it? There's a reason. Roads go past the city limits. Do you want to drive?
Speaker 4:come on, you can ride shotgun you damn right, you can I like it, carol I don't know what I actually like it I don't
Speaker 2:know what the right you can I like it, Caleb I?
Speaker 1:don't know, I actually like it Pass. I don't know what the music is. No, I like it.
Speaker 2:We just wrote it. What do you mean? You're kidding. You got a Sheryl Crow cut. That's amazing, that's really cool.
Speaker 4:Now it's really fun.
Speaker 1:It's actually amazing. I'm triggered, but yeah, or artistry. That's what's so frustrating about it. You like these people. I love Shoal.
Speaker 4:Crow, they're friends.
Speaker 1:I like what they do. Before everything got so weird, it was just.
Speaker 2:You had to plant a flag on either side.
Speaker 3:I hate that. I was always the guy that was like shut up and sing. We don't care what you think, I was always that guy. Just do, shut up and sing. We don't care what you think, I was always that guy. Like, just do what you do. We want to be entertained by your music. We don't care what your political stance is, but they started it and once they did, we had to start standing up against them.
Speaker 3:Actually, I don't disagree with you I mean, it was like, okay, enough is enough. I was like, no, we got common sense over here and what you're saying is pure filth and bullshit and I'm not going to sit here and take this and you're not going to infect the next generation with your crap. I'm not going to stand here and take that.
Speaker 1:I think what's so alarming and scary to me is the fact that made to feel that you can't say what you think. That's why you have artists in country music that you know are afraid of the labels. They're afraid of.
Speaker 2:We have artists afraid to come on this podcast.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we have friends afraid to come on this podcast.
Speaker 2:That's right yeah.
Speaker 1:Life long friends.
Speaker 2:And when and listen. I mean, we did talk some politics tonight, but sometimes we just talk music.
Speaker 1:But the point is, if you want to talk politics, that should be okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:And it should be okay to disagree, it's still.
Speaker 1:it's probably why you know, seriously, like it's probably why this podcast isn't bigger. It's because you know people, certain people won't want to partner with us or sponsor us because we just have an opinion about something that doesn't feel crazy, but yeah the whole divide started with all the moral issues, all the social and moral issues.
Speaker 3:With me it all started there. We may disagree on foreign policy, on the economy, we may disagree on those kind of things, but the whole divide started with the social and moral issues.
Speaker 1:And I feel like it all started right at COVID, right and it's a spiritual divide and it's getting wider and wider.
Speaker 3:We're never coming together on that ever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but listen to me though, did it not get crazy? It felt like COVID happened, we got locked inside, some things happened George Floyd, stuff like that it felt like am I losing my mind, or that when everything just got really weird yeah, like COVID everybody's locked in their houses.
Speaker 3:It was everybody's opinion and outtake on that and how they perceived it it's like a perfect storm of social media.
Speaker 1:Covid.
Speaker 4:It's the same thing that happened with our song.
Speaker 3:They perceived our song one way. We knew how we wrote it and what it meant. There was nothing racial about it. There was nothing. We had no intent, but they, they created that whole narrative over there, and that's exactly what they do on every single issue in the world right now. You're right, they create their own narrative about it, and you're right. And that's where the divide happens.
Speaker 2:It reminds me of something to segue. I think this is something I think would be great for all the listeners out there. I think we need to try to like this. Nick Bostic was a small-town hero, or whatever it is. I think if any of the listeners DM us, put it on YouTube, whatever. I think if any of the listeners DM us, put it on YouTube, whatever. But we need to highlight that kind of action, whether it's a random act of kindness or something like really tried that in a small town, is meant to be a positive thing, and I think if we could highlight some actions like that, it would be phenomenal. So leave us the review on YouTube. Dm us, do something, because I think we need to highlight some of that too. I think it's a really cool thing to do. Um, I think it'd be awesome. Yeah great.
Speaker 3:I think we should write us another song called try that in a small bubble or a big bubble and write it for those, for those In the bubble, the bubble people, that's my favorite about this whole podcast is the bubble people Try that in a small bubble.
Speaker 2:You guys ever see that? John Travolta, you're probably too young. There was a movie, he was a bubble boy.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, what was that. On Seinfeld, there was a bubble boy episode. Well, there was, which is?
Speaker 2:great.
Speaker 4:John Travolta was in some movie as a kid.
Speaker 2:I got. I got mad. He's so angry. I would be too, but but he did not like costanza bubble. Hold on, keep talking, I'm gonna figure out this. The boy in the plastic bubble was the name of the movie. What year was it? 76, before you were born. No, I was born 76?
Speaker 1:I was born in 75. Oh.
Speaker 2:I was giving you credit for being 77. That's Aldine's age, isn't?
Speaker 3:it. I was drinking out of a water hose in 75.
Speaker 2:The boy in the bubble. You got anything else for us? Should we close it? You want to sing?
Speaker 3:one for us, Caleb.
Speaker 2:You want to sing one. You guys want to?
Speaker 4:end on a song. You want to sing one for us, caleb. You want to sing one, you guys want to end on a song.
Speaker 2:You want to sing one. Oh, I don't know. What do you want to do? Rosacea, something, yeah, rosacea.
Speaker 3:Can I make a request?
Speaker 4:Sure, are you feeling it? I don't know. No, I'm not feeling anything. You're not. I've got to go to the bathroom. Now close us with something Sing. I'm Still a Guy for us, when you see.
Speaker 2:Somebody pick up a guitar and say, come on, we're losing followers Kalo Help us out.
Speaker 3:No, it's going to be fantastic. Do the big one. Yeah, grab the big one when?
Speaker 2:was this in your number one streak?
Speaker 3:No, you haven't sung this song.
Speaker 2:Where did this fall in your number one streak? No, we haven't sung. You haven't sung this song. Where did this fall in your number one streak? Do you know what number it?
Speaker 4:was no, I don't know what number it was.
Speaker 2:Remind people how many number ones.
Speaker 4:you have it had been 18? 18? Yes, I've been here a very long time. He doesn't like it.
Speaker 4:Dude, I'm't dude I refuse to leave that's an impressive number, bro, it really is um, thank you very much, uh, but no, I, you know, like, like a lot of people know, you guys know, um. You know brad pacy is very good to me. We live on the same farm. You get to know him so well. Just like you guys know aldane. You know what they would say and wouldn't say, and and um, and so me and my co-writer, lee miller you guys know lee and uh, we'd struck out for, you know, good, good few months, you know, and uh, you know, I finally threw out the opening two lines of this song and lee said he said what's that? And I said I don't know, but he'll record that. He said what's the title? I said I don't know, but he'll record that. He said what's the title? I said I don't know, but he'll record it.
Speaker 4:And so we got in the framework. You know, you know enough, you know, outlined it enough to call Brad to get him over, uh, to the house. And and then, uh, then we finished it and it's about four o'clock in the morning. So for all the times we say, oh, we wrote this in 45 minutes, which that never happens for me, but sometimes it's about four o'clock in the morning. So for all the times we say, oh, we wrote this in 45 minutes. That never happens for me, but sometimes it's early work, you know. But you had, you know, brad high-fiving us and laughing and everything, we're all laughing. And anytime you have an artist in the room with straight-up songwriters laughing and high-fiving.
Speaker 2:That's a good sign.
Speaker 4:Yeah, the straight-up songwriter saying yes, we can stay in our house for one more year. This is great, but anyway.
Speaker 3:I'll tell you the rest of the story later. I'll go ahead and play the rest of the story. That's probably a half step higher than you're used to, don't worry. The rosacea has got to displace me.
Speaker 4:Are you going to sing with me?
Speaker 3:I'll sing with you.
Speaker 5:When you see a deer, you see a bambi.
Speaker 4:I see antlers up on the wall, you see a lake you think picnics and I see a large mouth up under that law. Well, I know you're thinking that you're gonna change me, and in a few ways, well, you might. So I scrub me down, dress me up, oh, but no matter what, remember I'm still a guy. I love. This song Sounds crazy. Well, I'd like to give it a whirl. You know, love makes a man Do some things he ain't proud of, and in a weak moment I might Walk your sissy dog, hold your purse at the mall, but remember, I'm still a guy and I'll pour out my heart, Hold your hand in the car, write a love song that makes you cry and then turn right around like some jerk to the ground Cause he copped a feel as you walked by. Well, I can hear you now talking to your friends.
Speaker 4:It was nice Neil Saying yeah girls, he's come a long way From dragging his knuckles and carrying a club and building a fire in a cave. But when you say a back rub means only a back rub, then you swat my hand when I try.
Speaker 2:Hey now, what can I?
Speaker 4:say at the end of the day Honey, I'm still a guy and I'll pour out my heart, hold your hand in the car, write a love song that makes you cry and then turn right around like some jerk to the ground Because he copped a feel as you walked by Nice.
