From WNBA Entitlement to Studio Confessions :: Ep 66 Try That in a Small Town Podcast

In this captivating episode of Try That in a Small Town, the guys settle into their new studio space powered by e-Spaces to deliver raw, unfiltered conversations that swing between hilarious and profound.

The conversation kicks off with a spirited debate about entitlement in the WNBA, questioning players wearing "Pay Us What You Owe Us" shirts despite the league never turning a profit in 30 years. This launches them into examining how social media amplifies controversies and shapes public perception, with reflections on the recent viral "Coldplay couple" scandal. Their authentic take on these cultural moments reveals their willingness to question popular narratives while maintaining respect for multiple perspectives.

Between sips of Kentucky Coffee (courtesy of producer Jim, who unexpectedly joins the conversation with his own microphone), the guys share fascinating glimpses into tour life – the post-show adrenaline that keeps them awake until 3 AM, their adventures at the Oasis reunion concert in Cardiff, and the surprising number of podcast fans they encounter on the road. These stories peel back the curtain on the music industry through the lens of friendship rather than celebrity.

The episode takes several unexpected turns, from Neil's jaw-dropping medical story about sneezing out a piece of surgical packing from a 35-year-old nose surgery, to thoughtful reflections on faith and common ground in our divided culture. It's these unplanned moments that showcase the genuine camaraderie that makes listeners feel like they're sitting around the table with old friends.

Speaker 3 1:02

There's some players that went out to a club. There's like four or five players walking into a club and they couldn't get in. The WNBA players, yeah, some players I don't know who they were off the top of my head, but they're trying to get in and they're super offended that no one knows who they are and they wouldn't let them in the club. Like we're the WNBA, like what? Like it's Pippen and Jordan walking into somewhere.

Speaker 1 1:27

It's fine. I mean, it's not that I don't mind them having the league, it's just that's stupid.

Speaker 3 1:32

That's stupid to say that they don't think that it's stupid.

Speaker 1 1:38

Do you think the backlash has been too much?

Speaker 2 1:39

Yes, I don't know.

Speaker 4 1:43

I mean, you know, what do you expect?

Speaker 2 1:46

If that would have been me, I would expect to. Yeah, you can't keep your job and stuff.

Speaker 1 1:52

The HR girl.

Speaker 2 1:53

I mean, I wouldn't imagine she would ever get a job in human resources again.

Speaker 1 1:56

But you know what? She hasn't stepped down or been fired yet and she's the head of HR.

Speaker 2 2:01

It's complicated because she's a woman.

Speaker 1 2:03

It is complicated.

Speaker 2 2:05

Or it shouldn't be complicated, but that's more difficult. And who knows, he was holding her, maybe she was captive.

Speaker 3 2:13

You want Hunter Biden out there speaking on your behalf?

Speaker 1 2:16

It was pretty entertaining.

Speaker 3 2:17

It was.

Speaker 4 2:20

At the end of the day, it's all entertainment. That's all we are.

Speaker 3 2:24

We're just entertaining, we're not news people.

Speaker 4 2:27

No, you're not. Nobody gives two shits about what you have to say about anything. Language. The Try that in a Small Town podcast begins now.

Speaker 1 2:42

What are you talking about by the?

Speaker 2 2:43

way down the floor. Well, I don't want to give him a free plug. You know, I mean I've been trying to get. Well, give him a free plug. What is it when?

Speaker 3 2:48

we get going, bring us on. Yeah, no, we're on, oh, we're not.

Speaker 1 2:55

We didn't have to announce welcome. Hello, this is a small town podcast. Wow, from the patriot mobile studios powered by e-spaces. We're in our new studio. Oh my gosh, it's good yeah I love this thing hey, later we're gonna have to like go around because we asked everybody to say, hey, what's your favorite thing? And and they were like, well, I can't see, so maybe we'll have to pan around later. Tk K-Lo Thrash looking very relaxed.

Speaker 4 3:21

This is my new position. I like it.

Speaker 7 3:26

That's what she said.

Speaker 1 3:26

Yep, sorry.

Speaker 7 3:28

Oh, hey, I like the way you're kind of putting out your golfer's tan there.

Speaker 2 3:31

I know I'm actually trying to keep my feet. I like the way you're kind of putting out your golfer's tan there, it's nice.

Speaker 4 3:36

I'm actually trying to keep my feet, are those?

Speaker 2 3:38

white socks, or is that just?

Speaker 4 3:39

below your ankles. That's a legit golfer's tan.

Speaker 1 3:42

That's somebody that practices a lot, hey, but we did come on with you, tom. What is that thing? Give them a free plug, because what is?

Speaker 2 3:50

it. Yeah, this is their only free plug. It's called Feel Free. It has a cover root and kratom leaf. I think it's just all natural stuff. It just gives you a little bit of a lift. Are you sure it's?

Speaker 3 4:01

all natural, I got it on Facebook so it seems it's got to be good they have these. They have Shot of Joy which is a competitor also.

Speaker 2 4:12

But whether Shot of Joy or Feel Free will send us some of these, we will advertise like crazy for these guys Because they're expensive, aren't they? Yeah, they're like $9, $10 a piece. I mean Tully's into me for like $60, but now he's off of them.

Speaker 3 4:26

No, no, I'm not off of them, I need a break. So you have been so generous to give me one of these per episode, and it's like $10 a bottle.

Speaker 4 4:36

Thanks, he's probably got 50 cases at home. That's what he does.

Speaker 3 4:40

I will say that it is amazing, but I made a crucial error and did two last time and I didn't sleep for 48 hours. I mean, I felt like I could run a marathon. Hold on $10.

Speaker 1 4:50

Do you buy in bulk?

Speaker 2 4:51

and it's still $10?. Yeah, you don't get a break, and I also know that they're good and healthy for you because I get them at the counter at circle K and um and there's 12 in there but you don't get a. You don't get a discount or anything you can get on a subscription. I think you'd save maybe a dollar or so a bottle.

Speaker 3 5:09

I just hadn't done that yet I did post about it a few months ago and got no response.

Speaker 1 5:15

All right, Well, maybe we should stop talking about them. Then, if they're not giving us anything, well, this is it, but maybe this is a swing for the fence.

Speaker 3 5:22

Okay, feel free. Our producer, jim, should actually head this up, but we'll do it, feel free.

Speaker 1 5:31

By the way, I think it's bad times in here because Jim now has a mic who says it's bad times, wait a minute.

Speaker 3 5:36

I don't remember okaying that who?

Speaker 1 5:38

says it's bad, that was it's bad.

Speaker 2 5:41

Wait a minute mister, I paid for that microphone. Who says it.

Speaker 4 5:45

Hey, you're gonna be.

Speaker 3 5:46

You're gonna be a nice little addition, jim I'll try and do my best I just saw him turn his mic up a little bit more than ours over there.

Speaker 1 5:54

Yeah good lord, oh my gosh. We got a lot of stuff to talk about and I kind of wish we were recording as we came in there's. There's a lot of fire in this room tonight I won't say who.

Speaker 2 6:07

Yeah, neil, what are you looking at me?

Speaker 4 6:09

for no, you're relaxed. No, no, I'm just. I'm tired of'm just tired of pee on the floor in the men's bathroom. I'm sick of it, pee.

Speaker 2 6:17

Like at your home, at the urinal, at the urinal At your house.

Speaker 4 6:20

It's like why can't you keep the pee in the urinal, or they need to redesign them because it splashes out and it's on the floor and I'm straddling so I can pee. You have a urinal, you know, the one for the little short boys and one for the tall boys. Yeah, and there's pee all over the floor. I'm like, what are you guys doing?

Speaker 2 6:43

that's because they're on their phones. They're not. They're not really on the phone they're either they're.

Speaker 4 6:48

Either they're either not well endowed or they're on their phone. Oh my gosh, one of the two and you have to and I can't. You got australia. It's just ridiculous. I'm tired of it. I'm sick of it I think, from that's just, I just was on my mind I get it, yeah, and that's why I got my feet up, okay nobody.

Speaker 2 7:07

High five, that shoe, okay, nobody.

Speaker 3 7:09

Uh, I think from living on on a bus for oh years.

Speaker 2 7:13

Speaker 1 7:21

Hold on. You've been on our bus, I've been on buses.

Speaker 3 7:24

Speaker 1 8:38

Every night you made a show food on there, like totally was going to say nobody touches it and I.

Speaker 4 8:42

And next thing, you know, I mean seriously you get off at 1130 and you go, change clothes and you hang out. Before you know it it literally is like two, you know, and so it's fun to hang out and then, but you know, the next day you don't want to. I think in the old days we would sleep till noon or one, but now we're like we can't sleep because we're old, so we can't sleep. So we're up kind of early, drink coffee and it's. But the whole thing is so fun, it's, it's yeah.

WNBA Controversy and Public Entitlement

You know, it's one of those things. It's funny because we go to YouTube like everybody else does, because we don't know what it looks like you know you're up there. It's not like you're able to take it in. So when I see that stuff on YouTube, I'm like whoa, that's pretty dope.

I can't remember his name. He was actually on the road. A lot of people we're seeing are big fans of the podcast and actually will follow it and listen to every episode.

Speaker 4 11:08

That's what me and Kello wanted to know. We want you all to keep us posted on how many folks you all run into on the road that say something about the podcast. It's a lot.

Speaker 1 11:19

It's every night usually. We've got to do a better job. Tully and I were talking about it. I'm sure our listeners would like this of just filming stuff out there, getting content for everybody.

Speaker 4 11:30

I remind you I know I shoot texts to you guys. You have Get content Walk out on stage.

Speaker 1 11:35

Might need to bring Allie out with us and just do that. Are you free Allie? No, Do y'all have a special?

Speaker 2 11:41

time during the day, or is it after the show? Is that where all the pot smoking happens? Like what time of day? And is that every day?

Speaker 3 11:47

You know what's funny, I really wanted to be. I wanted to be like a good pot smoker. You know like I like a good stoner. I it'd be good for me, for my ocd settle me down call me right out.

Speaker 2 12:04

Yeah, it doesn't really it like.

Speaker 3 12:06

It makes me feel weird. I can't breathe, I start to wheeze, I fall asleep, I go to paranoid, wake up with a headache, yep, so I'm like I've never been good at it. I mean, a lot of my friends are good at it. I didn't know it was a talent. I feel like I don't know because I couldn't do it either.

Speaker 4 12:22

I mean, I did when I was younger. Yeah, it's been 35 years.

Speaker 3 12:26

It just helps me sleep. I couldn't handle it. I thought I was dying. Seriously, though, it helps me fall asleep. The worst was, though, years ago, we were in Portland and this had to be man. This may be 2009, maybe, and we're in Portland and they're just handing stuff out.

Speaker 2 12:43

What no go ahead Sorry.

Speaker 3 12:45

Are you worried? It's making you uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 12:46

No, no, no, no. My next question. You're whispering.

Speaker 3 12:49

You're whispering we're going to find out.

Speaker 4 12:51

If Caleb's inhaled, go ahead, no, anyway, so I took it and it's like, okay, let's do this little piece of chocolate.

Speaker 3 12:56

And I said, oh, this would be great. I took that thing and next thing, you know, the whole place starts spinning and I made it back to my bunk and I woke up. I don't know how soon after, but my heart was racing. I ripped my curtain open, went to Ron, our bus driver, and I said get me to a hospital.

Speaker 4 13:14

My heart's exploding.

Speaker 3 13:15

I don't know what I took, and it took me, you know. So that's the last and only time I ever did like any kind of like chocolate stuff. But you know, it's very I can't figure it out.

Speaker 4 13:26

I'm not good at it? Well, that's good. Well, stop trying. Don't do it then.

Speaker 7 13:29

Well, it's just not for you, that's all right, but I do like that.

Speaker 3 13:33

it helps me sleep, because I have a hard time sleeping, but the trade-off's not good enough.

Speaker 7 13:37

No Kalo have you ever smoked pot? Well, maybe a couple times, when I was in high school.

Speaker 2 13:45

I think I only tried it twice, but the first time I think it was dry tea. Like somebody gave it to you but like hey, we're going to be cool it to you. But like hey, we're gonna be cool, we're gonna smoke pot but it was like lipped in tea y'all dried out and it smelled kind of similar you know, but but?

Speaker 2 13:57

and we're like, oh yeah, I'm starting to feel it, starting to feel it it was, but then this one time this guy his name is randall, I mean this guy's name is randall and he said. He said, man, you want to try this, he goes. It was called a mohesion mind vendor or something like that, and we were smoking it out of a omni gel bottle. If you remember, omni gel it's some sort of some sort of tooth product, whatever anyway, like super glad.

Speaker 2 14:19

No, no, it's just, uh, it's like a toothpaste thing but like a gel or whatever. Anyway, uh, but that that got us laughing pretty good, but and that was the last time. But as as an adult, though, the only time I've ever done anything is the the little, little gummy things yeah and uh, it didn't go great. The first, the first night, I had my buddies uh, it's the madden boys from north carolina, you know. You know, jeff, and will madden.

Speaker 2 14:41

Anyway, they came up and they had some gummies and said said you want to try these calos? And I said, but don't just get a half, you know, because it'll loop you. And I said, all right, got half. And so I didn't feel anything. And so the next night I said, let's just take a whole one, let's see what we would feel, you know. And I took it and I mean it to me. Like 30 minutes later I'm just sitting there and I'm kind of seeing things, you know, and I'm like, okay, I don't like it's made me real paranoid, I didn't like it. And the next morning we had a golf tournament. I felt heavy the whole time. I felt like I weighed 400 pounds, how'd you play?

Speaker 7 15:09

not great it wasn't.

Speaker 1 15:11

It's not legal here, right?

Speaker 4 15:13

I don't think so. You'd think so. I don't think you'd get in a lot of trouble.

Speaker 2 15:16

It's not but you can get the drinks. There's delta drinks. You can get it off Facebook, but it's got the THC and you can get up to 20 milligrams. We'll push it so the last time they gave it a real college.

Speaker 3 15:32

Try, I can talk about Drop D.

Speaker 1 15:36

I would think he'd be fun with it.

Speaker 3 15:40

Kurt's Guitar Tech is a professional, Like he's professional.

Speaker 1 15:45

And just to make sure we give all the information, he has a chronically bad back, that he was on pain meds forever. For that he had to stay on. He's like screw that, I'm ditching that I'm just going with natural medicine.

Speaker 3 16:00

So I go, I go to the crew bus, which when I go to the crew bus, nothing good happens up there.

Speaker 7 16:04

So I went back there and they've got a whole lab system set up like it's like, it's like yeah, no, it's a chemistry side, it's the whole thing.

Speaker 3 16:14

Yeah, and it I can't even tell you what's going on. Anyway, I dropped d goes.

Speaker 4 16:19

Hey, try some of this so I, are you allowed to say all this on our?

Speaker 1 16:24

I think.

Speaker 4 16:24

So we're gonna find, we're gonna find out I'll be dough I mean, it's just, german shepherds at your next show I don't know.

Speaker 3 16:29

I mean, I think we're gonna say this we'll find out. I don't know, jim, better do some research. But anyway, so I tried it. He goes, it'll help you sleep. I'm like okay, so I did it. Next thing I know my legs are not working. My legs are numb and Jack, our guitar player, had to literally help me from that bus to our bus, lift me up and put me in my bunk and I I swear like I was levitating. It was really weird. So that's the last time I went to the crew bus as well. Don't do good on it, man. I'd like to. That's why I want to stick with, feel free there you go 20 minute ad for feel free, there we go anyway.

Speaker 3 17:12

I think we can say that, oh well yeah what's the big deal? It's weed.

Speaker 1 17:17

Well, is it a big deal? I mean, you're right, I don't think so. Maybe people don't want us telling their story, talking about spoons and heroin.

Speaker 2 17:23

We have no idea, because we're not you know, we don't really smoke it or no, that we we don't god.

Speaker 4 17:29

I didn't agree with we're not professionals.

Speaker 1 17:31

No, there's a lot of fun stuff to talk about. I wish gosh. I'll just say this as a tease. We got some big stuff coming up very we got a couple big announcements, a couple endeavors like what. What are you talking about?

Speaker 4 17:45

I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 7 17:46

Yeah you do, is it?

Speaker 4 17:47

the three of y'all against me. What's going on?

Speaker 2 17:49

well, by the time this comes out, we might I don't know, I don't know when this is coming out. Oh, I know what y'all are talking about.

Speaker 1 17:53

Yeah, I say we just leave it as is, but we're in a new studio. We might be, you know, moving this podcast up to bigger and better things. So we're excited, we're excited.

Speaker 2 18:05

Is it possible we're going to be getting paid at some point?

Speaker 4 18:08

No, no, definitely not. You don't need Wade's got all that money. We're pretty sure that we do this because it's fun. We do this because it's fun.

Speaker 2 18:13

Just like writing we love our listeners we write because it's fun.

Speaker 1 18:17

Yeah, wade, speaking of money, I don't know why I always go to the WNBA.

Speaker 3 18:23

Oh, this is great.

Speaker 1 18:25

Did you see my?

Speaker 3 18:25

pose or my thing I sent you, oh, I didn't Go ahead, I'll cut you off.

Life on Tour and Road Stories

Speaker 1 18:29

I don't know. I mean, if anybody has seen. Well, there was an All-Star game, which is a whole other joke, but at the All-Star game, all of the girls wore shirts that said pay us what you owe us.

Speaker 2 18:45

Oh, I saw this.

Speaker 1 18:47

Oh, All of them, oh God, All of them wore shirts that said pay us what you owe us. Yeah, Now just I'll set it up the wnba, by the way has been in business 30 years. I had no idea 30 years. In none of those years has the wnba turned a profit. Well, just like our podcast it's the same same thing.

Speaker 3 19:14

This is the same thing. No, it isn't.

Speaker 1 19:16

But it actually got me thinking when they were saying songwriters have gotten paid, say, if you're a songwriter, say you have no hits. You come to town, somebody pays you $100,000 to write songs. Right, I do that for 20 years oh yeah, you never have a hit and you wear a shirt that says pay me what you owe me.

Speaker 4 19:33

It's the same thing. It's the same thing. They should say pay Caitlyn what you owe her. That's what they should say.

Speaker 3 19:40

Even then, it should be disbanded. Or let them play but don't make everybody watch it Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock on NBC. I mean, it's on TV.

Speaker 1 19:53

It's on TV, yep, but just to go on like wow, what are you thinking when you say pay us what you Just tell me I'm just trying to understand what they're thinking when you say, pay us.

Speaker 3 20:03

They're obviously thinking that they're being underpaid for their talent.

Speaker 1 20:08

But how are you underpaid when the business is losing money?

Speaker 4 20:11

Do you think any of this would be an issue if Caitlin Clark had not been playing?

Speaker 1 20:16

I actually don't, because then they don't have any ground to stand on. If Caitlin Clark wasn't on the court if she wasn't on the floor.

Speaker 4 20:22

this wouldn't even be an issue, they're talking about going on strike oh please go on strike.

Speaker 2 20:27

But, Curt, I don't want to steal your the end of it, because I'm assuming you saw the same thing. I did the punchline of that when they said did you? Go ahead. No, are you getting there? No, no, no. Well, wnba came back because the girls wanted us to pay us what you owe us. And they came back and said you owe us $400 million to the players.

Speaker 3 20:53

I mean an invoice.

Speaker 7 20:57

It was like something ridiculous, is't know, but but it was yeah they were saying it was out there.

Speaker 3 21:01

I don't think they just threw that number out there hey I will say that I think that our wnba talking points have spread because there was a post. I sent it to you guys, jim, I hope you find it because we should try to post it, but I think I added the uh, try that in a small town to this post. There's some players that went out to a club but I didn't. There's like four or five players walking into a club and they couldn't get in. The wmba players. Yeah, some players, I don't know who they were off the top of my head, but they're trying to get in and they're super offended that no one knows who they are and they wouldn't let them in the club. And like we're the WNBA and like what you know, like it's Pippen and Jordan walking into somewhere.

Speaker 1 21:45

It's fine. I mean, it's not that I don't mind them having the league, it's just that's stupid.

Speaker 3 21:50

That's stupid to say that, but they don't think that, kurt, it's stupid.

Speaker 1 21:55

It's lost money.

Speaker 4 21:57

How's attendance Horrible Right now.

Speaker 1 21:59

How's ratings Horrible? How are the quality?

Speaker 4 22:03

of games Horrible. So what are they standing on? That's my question.

Speaker 3 22:08

You guys know why this exists. We can't say it here.

Speaker 1 22:11

Somebody take me somewhere else. No, what say?

Speaker 2 22:13

it here, but somebody take me somewhere else. No, no, what about that now? Now this will be old time, this comes out, but we have to mention it because the whole world is talking about it, about that couple that got. The couple got cold played you know that guy I mean he just stepped down, I mean like yesterday so here's a question for you.

Speaker 1 22:32

Yeah, do you think the backlash has been too much?

Speaker 2 22:36

Yes, I don't know.

Speaker 4 22:40

I mean, you know what do you?

Speaker 2 22:41

expect. If that would have been me. I would expect to. Yeah, you can't keep your job and stuff the.

Speaker 1 22:49

HR girl.

Speaker 2 22:49

I mean, I wouldn't imagine she would ever get a job in human resources again.

Speaker 1 22:53

You know what? She hasn't stepped down or been fired yet, and she's the head of HR.

Speaker 2 22:58

It's complicated because she's a woman. It is complicated, or it shouldn't be complicated, but that's more difficult. And who knows, he was holding her, maybe she was captive. He had her in a bear hug. She couldn't get away.

Speaker 1 23:12

I did hear somebody say watch and wait for it. She'll say well, he kind of pressured me into feeling like I had to be with him, since he was the it's going to happen.

Speaker 2 23:24

You should be an attorney. You should be an attorney.

Speaker 1 23:26

Everybody has to say, oh, you're right, yep.

Speaker 2 23:30

Yeah, yep, but boy was that uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 23:34

It was actually, it was actually, it was, it was funny. And then the next day everybody had memes.

Speaker 2 23:39

Even I'll still go on, yeah, and you know, part of this, you know, and a lot of people are saying, which I I maybe agree with, but probably not, because the dude's, I mean he's a billionaire, right, I mean he's, he's or he was now he's ahead of him, he's got but still, he's gonna to be doing it, he's going to be okay. But yeah, if they wouldn't have made such a big deal, then possibly Now they would have got recognized by somebody, but it probably wouldn't have been on the internet?

Speaker 7 24:04

Probably not, though.

Speaker 4 24:05

If they just kind of stood there and said oh shit, don't say anything.

Speaker 2 24:08

That, that's what you get for cheating.

Speaker 4 24:12

I'm going to rise to my next country.

Speaker 3 24:13

Well, you can't say that because I mean there's probably 10,000 other people there doing the same crap.

Speaker 4 24:19

They're next, they're next.

Speaker 3 24:21

That's what you get, though. Whatever song Coldplay was playing though it definitely wasn't from the first two records, because those are good songs Whatever happened after those records, it was one of those. What happened to Coldplay?

Speaker 1 24:35

I happened after those records. It was one of those. What happened to coldplay? Coldplay, what I admit I like coldplay when they came out when they're really good.

Speaker 3 24:38

The first couple of records are so good and they were a rock band. And now chris martin he's got ribbons tied around himself and there's flowers over there. It's like what are you skipping around the stage?

Speaker 1 24:49

it's weak no wonder married to yep uh, gwen anthony? No, I don't think so. Okay, not together.

Speaker 3 24:55

No, we got, they're good they're talented bunch they're fine, but the music is, it's just I know it's cold.

Speaker 4 25:38

haters out there now, because I speak my mind. Dude, you got lovers. You got lovers.

Speaker 3 25:42

Speaker 4 26:59

The Oasis concert Night one of the reunion tour and it was freaking amazing. It was wild seeing you guys. I saw some of the posts and I saw Aldean walking with the commoners. The dude, the peasant, yeah, the peasant. I was like look, he's walking through.

Speaker 1 27:16

He's actually walking, I think he, that's why it was so fun.

Speaker 3 27:19

I love that it was awesome I didn't expect that so, oddly enough, we were in we're in london, but the show was in cardiff, which is about a four hour ride. So we got in a van it's really cool van and we went over there. We're staying there the night, and so we checked into the hotel and saw a lot of people from the states who recognized us. I was coming down the, coming down the elevator, uh, at one point and there was two guys from there and they're like you're with the albine guys, aren't you? I said, yeah, and they were huge fans. They were.

Speaker 3 27:49

They were from nashville, oddly enough um so they were over there, a lot, lot of people over there. But it was super cool Cause we could. We could actually Jason could go and just hang out and went to some old pubs. That's awesome, you know it was. It was so much fun and the whole thing was was just the show was amazing, like it was. I'm a huge Oasis fan and they came out firing and seeing it over there with that crowd. They were just insane. That's cool.

Speaker 4 28:20

For the record, me and Kalo are the commoners Tully and Kurt. We can go places.

Speaker 2 28:30

Well, we don't have Tex, We've got Jim, we don't have Tex, we have Jim.

Speaker 4 28:34

I just want to make sure that our listeners know the difference. Yeah, there's a little divide amongst the Try that in a Small Town podcast crew. Yeah, we get to go places, me and Caleb. Nobody knows who we are, nobody cares who we are. We get to actually watch people. Kurt and Tully don't get to watch people much. People watch them more than anything. Who cares who we are? We get to actually watch people.

Speaker 3 28:55

Kurt and Tully don't get to watch people much. No, you're right, people watch them more than anything.

Celebrity Scandal and Media Response

Speaker 3 28:58

It was fun to go to a show. I'll tell you this it was fun to go to a show as fans get in, the crowd sit there, and it was so awesome. Me and Kurt got. There was two ladies sitting in front of us that had the bucket hats on and we had to have them. So Kurt bartered his with a triple play publishing hat. I don't even have one of those. And then, well, there are very few in existence. They're really good and I didn't want to give it up. It might be the prototype, it might have been. Anyway, the other lady I ended up paying like 150, or Aldine did I had to borrow the money from him. Anyway, the other lady I ended up paying like $150, or Aldine did I had to borrow the money from him.

Speaker 1 29:37

Yeah you haggled the price, haggled the price, but then C Aldean had the cash.

Speaker 4 29:41

It was really cool seeing Aldean sitting in the crowd. It was A.

Speaker 1 29:44

It was cool.

Speaker 4 29:46

I'm like him and Brittany are sitting in the crowd amongst everyone. It was awesome to see.

Speaker 1 29:51

Even he was saying he hasn't seen a show like that in 20 years. He hadn't. There's no way he could have Sitting down.

Speaker 3 29:58

It was so cool about Cardiff. So Cardiff is like a super, I mean ancient town. There's like, I guess, like more castles in Cardiff than anywhere in England. So you're, we're at this bar after the show and sitting out there on this outdoor patio and we look up and there's a castle and it's like wow, this is, this is cool, Like that's not a prop.

Speaker 1 30:20

No, it's like it's. It's funny. As Americans, we're so used to seeing buildings if, if they're 100 years old. Oh, look at the architecture. But you're going over there. It's really cool. Hey, tell them what is this.

Speaker 4 30:36

This is a present from Jim, jim, and you didn't tell our listeners why Jim bought us this bottle. Because we're celebrating a little bit. Our listeners will find out later what it's for yes, so we are celebrating.

Speaker 1 30:49

Oh yeah, something that we can talk about later later and it's, it's pretty good, it's kentucky. But so, jim, it's kentucky coffee. Where did you get it?

Speaker 4 30:59

yeah, you mean you just found it on the street, or hey, can we look, can we look up who the distillery is, and uh see if they want to jump on board.

Speaker 1 31:07

But you've had this before, and you thought it was so good that we needed to try it.

Speaker 4 31:12

It's like a warm espresso martini. It really kind of is. So another thing, Me and Kurt had about.

Speaker 7 31:19

I don't know 75 espresso martinis.

Speaker 2 31:39

Oh, you know what that'd go good with. It is like maple syrup, the eggnog coming up exactly evan williams, you're on the list for october. Jim, we gotta get you off that mic.

Speaker 1 31:48

You're on the. You're on the mic way too much. First of all you should have like a 25 word limit.

Speaker 2 31:54

Jim pull your chair over here at the table, would you?

Speaker 4 31:57

that mic. Like a month ago that mic was over here and then and then each week goes by and it gets a little close up. It should be like the old Twitter.

Speaker 1 32:07

You only get so many characters.

Speaker 4 32:10

Just because you've got a great radio voice, Jim, you can't come in here and hijack the show, bro, just give us your Kentucky coffee and get us buttered up.

Speaker 1 32:19

I didn't know we had a.

Speaker 3 32:20

Mike till today. He didn't.

Speaker 1 32:23

He didn't, did he? No, this is your first right jim.

Speaker 7 32:29

Yes, interesting, good one word answer did you run that past your answers do we have everybody say goodbye? To jim.

Speaker 4 32:34

It was great do we have questions?

Speaker 1 32:36

oh, we might, ali, you sent one. What was it? There's a couple questions, I think I saw two uh, one one I remember. Okay, here I got it.

Speaker 4 32:46

Surely we got more than two. We got 30,000 followers.

Speaker 1 32:48

No, we do From Wendy Power I was writing Out of all the interviews that y'all have done, is there one that stands out, and why?

Speaker 2 33:00

Who wants to take this first? All the ones that Jason Aldean and Brittany Aldean has been on Suck up.

Speaker 4 33:05

I know that's a big time suck up. When are y'all coming back on?

Speaker 7 33:09

When are you coming back on? People are dying to come back on.

Speaker 2 33:15

Honestly, that's obviously number one because the huge support and love from Jason and Brittany. Let's say after Jason and.

Speaker 4 33:23

Brittany. What would be our favorites after that? Well, I like Brittany being here too, though, because I've got the Alabama support from her.

Speaker 1 33:30

Yeah, it's two against one.

Speaker 3 33:32

You guys have one that's outside of the inner circle, outside of the inner circle oh man, so many great guests. I really love the guys like Jason Redman. For me, the American heroes, the guys that really make it all happen.

Speaker 4 33:47

That's a hard question to answer right there it is.

Speaker 3 33:50

They're all great. The guests are so, so great.

Speaker 1 33:52

I do like the ones that we didn't know the person and you got to find out about them through even Larry Ward, who was whatever last week. That was really interesting to me because I knew nothing about that Real interesting. You learn something. Jason Rebman. That's just. Oh my God, herb Street was fantastic.

Speaker 3 34:12

He's such a great guy and so you got a quality human like that and really everything he spoke he spoke from the heart really, and I think that's why that episode went so well. It's just that you know, you trust what he says, that that's what he feels, so yeah it's. It's a tough question because there's so many. I love all the episodes, for you know, apparently jim's a gust tonight and I know well.

Speaker 2 34:38

I said I'll tell you I would say uh to me like the herb street, definitely one, just because I'm a huge fan and it's always fun when you, when you meet somebody and they're like you think they are. And then another one for me just off the top, and we've had 65, so it's hard to recall all right now, but John Rich was a super impressive human being. I really had a lot even more respect for him after he came on the podcast. Just because you feel like wow, I know that guy.

Speaker 4 35:07

You can't keep up with him. He's so well-versed and he's so knowledgeable and wise about everything.

Speaker 1 35:13

It's hard to keep up with him, if you haven't seen that episode. You need to go back and watch it.

Speaker 2 35:17

Yeah, they're all great Raleigh Gaines and the people that came on early, that came on early.

Speaker 3 35:23

You know that came on early when we were just getting going. You know, like the early believers. Yeah, you know, because you know.

Speaker 4 35:29

Hey, we got to get Gary LaVox back on because all I want to do is, tell him, I told you so.

Speaker 1 35:35

What did you tell him so of?

Speaker 4 35:37

That he was going to go back on tour with Rascal Flatts about two years ago.

Speaker 1 35:40

That's right.

Speaker 4 35:41

Yeah, I said he would say. He would say I'm not doing it, I'm not, I'm not going back out, I'm done. And I said you're going back on tour.

Speaker 7 35:48

It's happening. That was two years ago. That was a great episode. I think they sold out every show yeah.

Speaker 4 35:57

And we had him on the first time it was before they toured, so we didn back on. If it's just two seconds where I can say I told you. So See, that's a tough question because you start thinking about it.

Speaker 3 36:05

And, gary, that's one of my favorite episodes.

Speaker 1 36:10

It's so funny. And speaking of favorite episodes just as we were talking about it, they must have been listening. Guess who just texted us all right now? Who, Cletus?

Speaker 2 36:18

Are you serious?

Speaker 4 36:21

What an episode that was. What's his question?

Speaker 1 36:27

Let's see if he's got a question. I can't say that no, he's just hoping we can get together soon.

Speaker 2 36:33

He definitely wants to golf and write. Yes, Because he's hit me up a couple times. All of our schedules just hadn't lined up yet. But he wants to do that and we're going to make that happen, Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 36:43

We do have a.

Speaker 4 36:44

Can we get DJ Silver back on?

Speaker 1 36:46

Oh yeah, he was great yeah he was great too, we have some other questions too.

Speaker 3 36:53

What's that?

Speaker 2 36:53

Well, I know there's one, unless you have it. I remember because it was the first one and I believe it was from a guy. I think his name was Ed I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was Ed and he wanted to know Aren't I Ed?

Speaker 7 37:07

Yes, I'm not 100% sure.

Speaker 2 37:10

But anyway, he did want to know, like when you come up with bass parts like how do you do that You're in the studio? Do you think about it the night before? Do you do it while the song's going?

Speaker 4 37:19

down.

Speaker 2 37:26

Kalo anybody can play bass, Particular bass line Serious question Like you know what do you do what goes through your head.

Speaker 4 37:30

Neil, that really hurt. No, I heard you slide that in there. I couldn't help myself.

Speaker 2 37:32

But before you answer, I just want to say Don't laugh at me, don't call me names, don't get your pleasure from me.

Speaker 4 37:44

In God's eyes. No, T is actually one one of the best bass players I've ever been around a hundred bar none and people always comment on anything that I've been a part of, that's a demo or whatever that you played on songs that we've written or whatever. Everybody always goes who's playing bass? And because they don't ever hear anybody that plays bass like that. No, and it's really really unique and exquisite.

Speaker 3 38:10

Well, I really appreciate it.

Speaker 4 38:12

I love. Not everybody can play bass.

Speaker 3 38:16

You know my style, I guess Ed, I love Ed. It's really just, I hear a melody in my head and I'll play it on the bass. Generally that's what I'm, that's how I just when I grab it in the base, I'm like, what part, what melody am I'm hearing? And sometimes it, you know it's it's my own style. You know it's not for everybody and that's that's what I love about it.

Speaker 3 38:40

Like if you got a fingerprint, you know a style and not everyone's gonna love it. So you, you know it's, it's some, it's too much for some people. They just want bass to be just simpler and that's that's great. I love playing like that as well. I just I really get attached to the song and if I love a song, I'll hear melodies in my head on the bass and I'll just play them on the bass and so that's what, that's what comes out, you know. So I've never thought that. I've always that's what I've done and, like I said, it's not for everybody, but it's for a lot of people. I'm, you know, and I'm comfortable with what I do, you know it's subjective and it's you think you'll ever play bass on this podcast.

Speaker 3 39:25

Yes.

Speaker 4 39:26

Kurt, you think he'll ever play guitar on this podcast? He probably won't.

Speaker 1 39:31

Do we have to pay Kurt to play? Is that what this is? No, that's not the money.

Speaker 2 39:38

He didn't do it for money or passion. We don't know why.

Speaker 4 39:42

You guys know and I'm going to spearhead this you guys know that all four of us are going to have to pick up guitars at some point on this podcast and play some stuff.

Politics, Transparency, and Hidden Agendas

Speaker 1 39:54

You know what I can't believe we haven't done? Just played. Try that in a Small Town on this podcast.

Speaker 2 40:01

I think that's behind-the-wall subscriber stuff. Definitely that's what the manager told us, but he's in LA right now.

Speaker 7 40:08

Speaking of LA. No, can't tell you.

Speaker 1 40:11

Who's taking that behind the wall?

Speaker 2 40:13

money it's happening, kurt, we'll talk about it.

Speaker 3 40:14

It's happening.

Speaker 2 40:15

It's all happening.

Speaker 3 40:16

So did we talk about the Abbey Road thing yet no.

Speaker 4 40:20

Speaker 4 41:16

I don't know how you got a mic. He's the only one getting paid out of the five of us. You know what it's like.

Speaker 3 41:19

It's like you're on the road and you're setting up and you look over, the lights go down. All of a sudden, the show starts and you look over and like you're text on stage with a guitar, with a microphone. That's what this is like incredible, jim.

Speaker 1 41:36

I'm very impressed, I'm not even mad hey Jim do we need to go to break or are we just rolling right through?

Speaker 2 41:42

Speaker 1 41:54

Actually, it's going to be like YouTube and they say enjoy this, it'll just be you for a minute going.

Speaker 4 41:59

Why does that have to be a thing when you can't breathe out of your nose and in you you're a heavy breather? All of a sudden, I turned 60 and I can't breathe out of my nose, so it's like because you're lunging I mean a lot, of, a lot of people have a deviated septum, maybe that's it I've already had no surgery.

Speaker 4 42:16

It didn't work. It didn't work, didn't? Did I tell y'all about the time, which, like two, three months ago? No, I just look, I'm getting serious. I know I took my foot off the table. I'm nervous. Listen, this is for real, I'm not kidding you. I don't even know if Allie knows my daughter. Listen, I'm sitting in bed, me and Leonard in there, and this is a few months ago, and we're watching TV and I have to sneeze. And I go and I sneeze and a freaking, inch by inch, square piece of cardboard comes out of my nose. Oh, disgusting what.

Speaker 1 42:54

Yes, like actual cardboard.

Speaker 4 42:56

Yes, I'm very confused and it's folded up and it comes out and it goes and it just falls out. Is it an old lyric or something? No, no, no, yeah, it's an old lyric. No, I had nose surgery, pirate's map. Let me tell you something when I was Golf handicap.

Speaker 4 43:12

I was probably. I was in my mid-20s when I had my nose surgery. Oh shit, and I've heard of this happening to other people. What, yes, I've heard of this happening to other people. What, yes? They put all this packing up in your sinuses and they put it in your nose to keep everything separated. It was from my surgery when I was in my mid-20s. So you're talking 35 years ago. Did you save it? No, I threw it away.

Speaker 2 43:38

I would have pickled that. I put it in a jar like some pig's feet or something.

Speaker 4 43:41

It came out. It broke loose and came out. It broke loose and came out. And I'm sorry if I'm grossing out the listeners, but I'm going to tell you it freaking happened and it was laying there and it was huge and I'm like, oh, Because I remember them taking packing out. And so did it feel different?

Speaker 1 43:58

No, not really.

Speaker 4 43:59

Not really. It felt different for his wife. I still heavy breathe. It didn't make any difference, but I just that it felt different for his wife. I still heavy breathe. It didn't make any difference, that is bizarre, but I looked it up and it's a common thing from people who have no surgery. It's really really common.

Speaker 3 44:12

You should have saved it and signed it. Years later, they'll sneeze up something or blow out something that's from their surgery before that's crazy.

Speaker 4 44:18

There's no telling what people have inside their bodies from bladder surgery or whatever.

Speaker 3 44:23

That's why I don't have surgery that's it, that's the reason okay, if I don't have surgery or go, I'm telling y'all nothing can be wrong right now.

Speaker 4 44:31

This is what the people want right now. This kind of information that might be if any of our listeners have any questions called I'm more surprised that you didn't take a picture of it and text the group I.

Speaker 3 44:43

I did not. No, I would have.

Speaker 4 44:45

No, it wasn't even disgusting, it was just like there is a plain piece of cardboard.

Speaker 3 44:50

Blew out of my senses, it still had the cardboard feel to it even after all those years.

Speaker 4 44:54

Yes, it wasn't rotted it wasn't nothing, it was fully intact.

Speaker 2 44:58

Been up in there for 35 years. Now, did that impact lovemaking that night, or did everything go as planned?

Speaker 4 47:19

You've overstepped your boundaries you could do a country version of that, it'd be so good so, uh, yeah.

Speaker 1 47:38

so today Ozzy Osbourne passed away 76, right is that what they said? Young, yeah, seems, seems young. Of course maybe it does because we're getting closer to there. Passed away 76, right Is that what they said? Young, yeah, seems young. Of course, maybe it does because we're getting closer to there. So do you remember?

Speaker 3 47:52

what year was this, buddy? 2010.

Speaker 1 47:56

Kalos, you'll get a kick out of this as well. Oh, Kalos is a part of the story I am.

Speaker 3 48:01

So first year we played Sturges and we I am. So First year we play Sturges and we open for Ozzy Osbourne. I'd be at 2010, I think.

Speaker 1 48:09

Yeah, I'm bad at that game, but yeah.

Speaker 3 48:11

So it's, you know, we're opening for Ozzy. So it's, you know, some of our crowd but a lot of Ozzy. So we start playing and it's going well, and then we played. Yeah, that time we had laughed, we cried in the set. Yes, so we. So we played it. And then we, you know, we start the first verse and all of a sudden it's just like harley's over the sink I just like they're. Yeah, get to the next song yeah, you get the next song um they're all there in their harley played laughter, we cried.

Speaker 3 48:46

Well, that's just rude yeah, sorry, but it was a great time. And then we got to you know we're backstage and we watched aussie show and it was awesome and and great and, yeah, it's, we're losing these people.

Speaker 1 49:01

Yeah, we're losing them and I guess that, like I said, it just means we're getting older, because the people we grew up listening to are passing away and someday they're going to be talking saying that about us.

Speaker 3 49:13

Oh my god, people we grew up listening to are passing away well, and he and where was the last show?

Speaker 2 49:20

because he just had one. He was in his wasn't his huge seat there wasn't

Speaker 4 49:24

it. How about that? I think, so they're pulling him back, and how about the timing? Of that amazing. I think he's almost like ozzy knew something it hasn't been well.

Speaker 3 49:34

I I don't know exactly what he was battling. I don't. I know he wasn't well, but I can't I didn't even know that.

Speaker 1 49:41

I mean, I kind of knew that, but I didn't, I didn't even know that.

Speaker 3 49:45

I mean, I kind of knew that, but I didn't. Yeah, but yeah, it's weird losing these huge, you know music icons. Yeah definitely an icon.

Speaker 1 49:53

You're talking about that'd be a great country song. One of our questions, I remember, was who would you want to collaborate with? Anybody you know, dead or alive, but that's you're right, that'd be a great country song I know right, That'd be so good.

Speaker 4 50:08

There's so many rock songs you could convert into country songs. That would be so good.

Speaker 1 50:14

Who would like, as far as like, a Jason collab, who would be something cool like from your perspective.

Speaker 4 50:20

He already did, brian Adams, so you can't say that yeah, I mean.

Speaker 7 50:26

Which is great. He would have been a good one If you would have asked me that question.

Speaker 3 50:28

We did I mean.

Speaker 4 50:31

Seeger and.

Speaker 3 50:31

Brian Adams were two that were on the list.

Speaker 4 50:33

How are you going to top that?

Speaker 3 50:35

Obviously. You know, if we ever did like some sort of thing with Sting, it would be amazing. You know I love that era music. You know I still find myself listening to, like old Dire Straits albums, which I love, yeah, love it. God Dire Straits speaking of that, you see that there's a new Billy Joel documentary out started watching it last night.

Speaker 4 51:01

I haven't started yet. What's it on?

Speaker 1 51:03

HBO Max or Max or whatever it's called now.

Speaker 2 51:06

I want to see that. We saw him live in Nashville. It was amazing.

Speaker 1 51:09

Last time he was here. Oh, the last time he was here, yeah it was, like I don't know, a year ago. Was it a stadium Two?

Speaker 2 51:14

years, was it a stadium?

Speaker 4 51:16

Did he flip the piano?

Recent Tragedies and Faith Discussion

Speaker 1 51:17

over Billy Joel. No he didn't?

Speaker 4 51:20

He should have made that part of his show.

Speaker 2 51:22

It was amazing, really amazing. Billy Joel's.

Speaker 3 51:25

Italian restaurant. It's in my top songs ever that I love. That song is brilliant.

Speaker 4 51:33

Brilliant. Any more questions?

Speaker 2 51:35

Kurt.

Speaker 4 51:37

Oh, what Go ahead.

Speaker 2 51:43

No, I was going to say just because you're talking about losing ozzy and everything and um, uh, is it?

Speaker 2 51:47

malcolm warner, yeah, it's on the, you know the cosby yeah, uh it ripped down he was on vacation with his family what, okay, and you know he was theo right on the on the cosby show and did many other things, but like, uh, I think that's what he's most known for. But he's on a family vacation and it was just a current and drug him out and they had some people that got him back to shore, but it was too late. I believe it was Costa Rica. I believe it was Costa Rica, that's right.

Speaker 1 52:19

I'm getting not necessarily because of that. As I get older, I'm more and more afraid just to get in the ocean.

Speaker 2 52:30

Yeah, and he's 54.

Speaker 1 52:32

I wish I mean that's like current sharks.

Speaker 2 52:35

Yeah.

Speaker 1 52:36

Do they all feel like that? Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 52:38

I mean, I've been that way for a long time but really since I was a kid. I still go out in the ocean and stuff, but I saw Jaws at a drive-in. That was the first movie I ever saw as a kid. I still go out in the ocean and stuff, but I saw. I saw jaws at a drive-in. That's the first movie I ever saw as a kid. Yeah, first movie I was terrified, I think, I think social media has got everybody freaked out.

Speaker 4 52:52

Nothing, I don't think anything has changed. There's sharks aren't eating people more. Currents aren't any stronger than they used to be. I think everybody just gets freaked out by social media.

Speaker 1 53:02

I think you're right. You're right. I think that's probably true. It's so embedded in your mind and everybody's brains now. And also mortality kicks in as you get older. Sure.

Speaker 3 53:12

I do wish Aldina was here because no one knows this. I wish she was here because it would tell a story, true story, one of my nine lives. So we were in Mexico 08, 7, 8. And we were in mexico, oh, eight, seven, eight. And we were. You remember this trip, kurt? We were all down there playing a private event for something.

Speaker 3 53:34

And so we go in the ocean and this is the truth. We're out there swimming. So I got caught in like one of those riptides, yeah. So I got caught in like one of those riptides, yeah. And at first I was like I'll just swim out of it and I literally couldn't and I can swim pretty well and I couldn't. It was pulling me out. I started to freak out and it was Aldine who reached me and pulled me out of it and drug me back in. Really, yes, and it was not going well, holy, like we talked about it on the on the road the other night and he, he mentioned he goes remember the time I saved your life and I said, yes, I do, and it and it. I wish he was here because he's his part of it too is.

Speaker 3 54:26

I'm actually it's not even a joke. It was very close. I was very weak. I had no. I can totally see when I found out it was a drowning. I can totally see how it happens. I used so much energy trying to get out of that thing I was. I had nothing left. Aldine pulled me through it and I don't even know how he did it because it was so strong, but it was a. I'm serious, I'm not joking through it and I don't even know how he did it because it was so strong. He's a Georgia boy. I'm serious, I'm not joking.

Speaker 2 54:49

It was a thing, it freaked me out, and they say which is? Everything's counterintuitive. But they say, if you get caught up in one is you're supposed to float on your back and hopefully somebody's going to recognize that things are happening. But if you fight it it's worse. That's what they say now.

Speaker 3 55:05

It's just hard to fight in the moment. It's hard to fight that Because, yeah, but there's also a. I started watching last night a new shark thing on HBO about the 2024 shark attacks in Florida. There are more. I'm with you, neil.

Speaker 4 55:24

Obviously, social media and everything we hear about the shark. You see them, they happen. They still happen a lot. They happen back then, before social media.

Speaker 3 55:30

You just see everything and hear about them more, but they're. Yeah, getting eaten by a shark is right below getting eaten by a bear if I was a shark, I'd eat you god.

Speaker 2 55:40

Well, we're probably delicious and more delicious now than we used to be with all the MSG and stuff.

Speaker 1 55:45

Hey, I got a question. If we were on a plane crash and we had to start eating each other, who would go first? Your calves?

Speaker 3 55:54

Going for those things, those will feed us, I think.

Speaker 1 55:56

Neil's probably got some juicy.

Speaker 3 55:58

No, no, no, no I got some good looking calves no, this guy's got the biggest calves in country music.

Speaker 4 56:02

No, kalo no. This guy's got the biggest calves in country music. No, kalo, no, no, no, no, no. Wait until y'all play golf with Kalo, you're going to see it. I don't think we should be talking about eating each other when he steps up with his driver and the sun's in the west and it's shining down on his calves before he tees off it looks like you know the county fair, turkey legs, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 56:20

Covered in butter. That's first. That's K-Lo's.

Speaker 2 56:22

Obviously, we eat the pilots. They wrecked the plane to begin with.

Speaker 4 56:26

Dude, you would be like standing on two bones.

Speaker 2 56:29

I'm like your femurs. Have we already done a break, kurt? No listen.

Speaker 4 56:32

Your tibia bones would be showing because you'd already be eight. Oh my God, this is terrible.

Speaker 3 56:36

Well, the good news is, you can still stay alive, because you'd just be picking away at your calves.

Speaker 1 56:41

I don't know. I think we might have a.

Speaker 4 56:43

I think we should have a calf contest.

Speaker 3 56:46

I don't know Like roping Might lose some listeners. You remember that Roping calves.

Speaker 4 56:49

I lost the freaking plank contest. Let's have a calf contest. We got destroyed. Let's butter them up and let's show them.

Speaker 2 56:55

Let's show them to the listeners. They want to see your calves. Let's do it.

Speaker 4 57:01

I got the best tan.

Speaker 3 57:04

Man I saw a really crazy movie a couple days ago, eddington. Have you guys heard about this Joaquin Phoenix movie yet? No, I'm saying Paddington, no, I think it's Eddington. I hope I'm saying that right, jim. Look that up Eddington movie. Look it up, jim. You're the producer. Make sure I'm saying it right.

Speaker 4 57:27

Yeah, microphone, you're the producer. Make sure I'm saying it right. Yeah, microphone into the mic, jim. Honestly oh, now you want me to talk yeah.

Speaker 3 57:33

Well, when spoken to. Yeah, eddington, it's the movie. I've seen it right. Eddington is precious talk, jim.

Speaker 4 57:40

E-D-D-I-N-G-T-O-F yeah, eddington, he'll edit it all together.

Speaker 3 57:43

it'll be great, kind of a true story, I believe, and the guy that directed Midsommar, which is a crazy movie. He directed this movie and it's really interesting. You guys should see it. It's a crazy movie, but it's about COVID and it's set in 2020 in a small town in New Mexico, eddington, and it's basically it covers everything from liberal mayor to conservative sheriff mask wearing Black Lives Matter. All the craziness rolled into this one movie and I really liked it because it was very political. But it was political on both ends of the spectrum. Does that make sense? It was Not at all. It was political on both ends of the spectrum.

Speaker 4 58:27

Does that make sense? Uh-uh it was.

Speaker 3 58:27

It was Not at all. You know what I mean. So it wasn't like a just left-leaning Hollywood thing. It showed the craziness on both ends Really interesting. I'd love to get the listeners' review of it because I want to see it again and it's a lot. My wife was like what just happened? Because I want to see it again and it's a lot. My wife was like what just happened.

Speaker 4 58:45

You remember when the libs were like the no kings thing, that we had no kings, no kings, no kings Coming out of the same mouth of the people that demanded masks, demanded to stay in home, demanded all this shit, demanded kids stay out of school?

Speaker 2 59:11

and now they're screaming no kings. I mean like hypocrisy is is unbelievable. Unbelievable, yeah, and this, this gets over talked about, but it's still it just things that I'll take things that blow my mind for a hundred dollars, alex, but like the people are getting the the left is is so mad about ice agents wearing masks to protect their identity and their families, but they never say anything about anybody protesting on the streets. You know, it's just odd. It's like, of course, if you're an ICE agent, you don't want everybody to know who you are or your family.

Speaker 3 59:38

You know what I mean. There is nothing I'll go on record. There is nothing worse than a super far left liberal there is nothing worse.

Speaker 4 59:45

You can far left liberal.

Speaker 3 59:45

There is nothing worse, you can argue you can't talk to them. You can't, they're crazy.

Speaker 4 59:51

If I was a Democrat, I would be saying the exact same thing A lot of them do, though, like there's a that far left.

Speaker 3 59:58

I'm talking about. You know who you are.

Speaker 2 1:00:00

They're not listening. We learned a new term.

Speaker 4 1:00:03

Maybe they learned it. Yeah, secretly, come on here, if you dare.

Speaker 2 1:00:06

We learned a new. Is it an acronym like?

Speaker 1 1:00:09

when Larry Ward was here last week.

Speaker 2 1:00:12

Yeah, the Awfuls which. I hadn't heard that before. Neil, do you remember who the Awfuls are? Who are the Awfuls? Who?

Speaker 7 1:00:18

Yeah, what's it stand for?

Speaker 2 1:00:21

Angry.

Speaker 4 1:00:21

White White Angry White. White, white, angry white female female ugly lesbian no, no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no no kurt, do you remember?

Speaker 7 1:00:32

I do for the listeners.

Speaker 4 1:00:33

That was incorrect it's the first thing that came to my mind.

Speaker 1 1:00:38

I'm sorry yeah, I think this is interesting because you were saying nothing bugs you more than somebody who's super left liberal. It's because you can't talk to them, you can't change their mind. It's like Trump bad, everything he does is bad, and I would argue that they would say that we're the same way. But I would say that's not the case, because there's plenty of things, speaking of COVID, that I think that Trump handled wrong, and another one actually has been this Epstein file thing. Like I don't like how he has personally handled it.

Speaker 3 1:01:13

You can't like it because the whole thing you can't like it because there's no way around it. Like, transparency is what he ran on. Yeah, and now all of a sudden, we can't be transparent. It's not a good look, and my point is it's just not. It's just not a good look.

Speaker 1 1:01:32

It isn't a good look. But my point is that I think we're all fine with criticizing him when we don't agree with certain things, when the other side will only say everything he does is bad, everything he does is evil, but I think we're always looking at hey, he's kicking ass here, which is a lot of areas. What?

Speaker 4 1:01:52

makes me. What gets under my skin is nobody on the left or right. It's like hush-hush on both sides, Yep.

Speaker 7 1:02:04

Well, it's hush-hush on both sides.

Speaker 3 1:02:05

Can Well. It's hush-hush on both sides. Can you imagine the backroom deals?

Speaker 4 1:02:08

going on. Oh my God, I can't even imagine You're 100% right and I'm just like they want this to go away. So bad because it hurts both parties. So bad apparently no.

Speaker 3 1:02:20

I mean, look, whatever's going on. I think everyone understands. That's probably a big list. There's probably a lot of bad stuff. You know what?

Speaker 4 1:02:27

If Trump was part of that if he was, he's not part of it they would be trying to crucify him now the left, he's not part of it.

Speaker 1 1:02:36

They're like not saying a word. That's not it.

Speaker 3 1:02:39

Nothing.

Speaker 1 1:02:40

I don't even think it's a list man.

Speaker 4 1:02:46

I think it's like it's. I don't know, but it could be an israel connection. It's bigger than for. I don't get you.

Speaker 3 1:02:49

I don't understand that part of it, for something I'm I've read but I don't understand. I agree with everything I like I don't think trump would have been going on about this for so long before. Had he been on that list, he would know. But I'm with kurt like this goes so bigger. This goes to like other things that affect worldwide stuff, I think like deals. There's so much I can't imagine the backroom deals going on around this subject. You can't do this. Because of that, this is going to have a bad.

Speaker 4 1:03:19

I think Jim's on the list.

Speaker 2 1:03:22

Well, but going back to the original thing, when Kurt was talking about not being able to talk to liberals. The reason the liberals don't listen to things that we say a lot of times is because a lot of us talk like this we sound a little country and we don't sound intelligent and they deem us as ignorant rednecks. That's a fact, and so that's why we can't be intelligent, we can't have a point of view. That's my experience.

Speaker 4 1:03:49

So you're right.

Speaker 2 1:03:49

I'm not disagreeing with you.

Speaker 4 1:03:51

Nobody on the planet's got more common sense than me. Nobody, really. Nope, nope, I'm saying it right now.

Speaker 2 1:03:59

Well, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, we found it.

Speaker 4 1:04:04

Nobody.

Speaker 2 1:04:05

Bring your questions here.

Speaker 4 1:04:07

I'm attaining.

Speaker 1 1:04:08

I've got all the comments, but again, my whole point was, you know, trump coming out and saying it's a hoax, and if you believe it, you I'm going to turn my back on you. I was like, eh, it probably wasn't the right way to go. And you can't say just that probably wasn't the right way to go about it and you can't say just forget about it.

Speaker 3 1:04:25

You told people not to forget about it, so it's definitely no, he's not on the list. What I hate, though, is he gives the left all that ammo now, because it's not a good look. You say he wants everybody to forget about it. Well, all of a sudden we're going to forget about it. It's really, I mean, it's not a great look, but kurt's right. Like we, we'll say that we're not going to sit here, and you know look, and I also completely support him and he's kicking butt, yeah no doubt about it he is, he is, he is definitely kicking butt.

Speaker 4 1:04:58

Yeah, I'm so thankful he's in office. Oh my god, can you imagine the?

Speaker 3 1:05:02

train wreck we'd be in look at what he's done with the border right now. I mean it's shut down. No one's getting through the border. Shut down.

Speaker 2 1:05:11

Well, and I saw this morning because they are doing the percentages on candidates for the next presidential run and Trump, though he can't legally run, is tied with Kamala Harris right now at 4%, at 4%, at 4%, but he can't even run. And with kamala harris right now, at four percent, at four percent, but he can't even run and he's tied. You know, uh vance by, but pretty, pretty significant, uh, that's a good question I don't think it was cortez.

Speaker 2 1:05:38

I don't, I don't think it's aoc but yeah, biden now maybe, yeah, maybe running. He also speaks in morse code. I mean, I get who knew?

Speaker 4 1:05:44

It's like beep I mean you know who we should have. On Stephen Colbert yeah, he's going to have a lot of time.

Speaker 2 1:05:53

He's going to have some time. He's out of a job right now. It'd be great.

Speaker 4 1:05:55

It'd be great.

Speaker 2 1:05:56

He's shocked, he is shocked.

Speaker 3 1:05:58

I bet Hunter Biden will come on. Probably. Probably I'm gonna get him on here. Him is crack pipe or your crack pipe. Show us how to like that.

Speaker 1 1:06:12

Would you interview on him? I'm not good at weeb, I'll give that a try, oh my god, yeah, he'd be great, he'd be great he'd be great.

Speaker 3 1:06:23

Pass it over, hunter, hear that lighter what's your?

Speaker 1 1:06:29

what's your macbook password?

Speaker 7 1:06:31

that's so good. Oh god, oh man what a shit show that's the funniest thing he's ever said.

Speaker 1 1:06:37

I mean that was so good, and the guy he interviewed him in that thing who was that?

Speaker 3 1:06:41

I don't even know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 1:06:44

Yeah, I think we got a chance if he interviewed him that's what I mean. I think we can actually get him on and just say dude let's go let's get it out you know, but he actually started to make some sense, which was weird well, he said dc drano said it's the is the only time he's ever agreed with anything that hunter biden has said he was.

Speaker 3 1:07:03

I read that it was so good, he said that Biden had taken Ambien. Before that debate Did you read? That. And that's why he was so out of it.

Speaker 2 1:07:12

He'd been taking Ambien to sleep Well because they tied his overseas trip to the debate, which was five days prior. That's what they tied it to.

Speaker 3 1:07:23

That's crazy. Apparently, that's what they tied it. Yeah, that's crazy. Apparently that's that's what hunter biden was saying. But you know, I mean seriously. I mean you want hunter biden out there speaking on your behalf, even if you're it was pretty entertaining yeah, it was I mean, it's all you know at the end of the day, it's all entertainment. Yeah, right, that's all we are I hope we're just, we're just entertaining, we're not news people. No, you're not Nobody gives two shits about what you have to say about anything.

Speaker 2 1:07:52

Language.

Speaker 4 1:07:53

Or me, or Kalo, or Kirk, that's not true, neil?

Speaker 2 1:07:56

No, it's true. I think you're off the mark. You're a bass player and you're a damn good bass player. Fake news. Um, I will say this is actually a little bit of a heavier topic, but I couldn't believe. I read it this morning. Uh, did y'all hear about the guy and his, his wife, she was having an mri, I think this was in new york she had.

Speaker 2 1:08:20

She had called her husband in uh, keith is his name, I think her name is jones mcallister, and she's having an mri and I think she's having trouble getting off the table. She had called her husband in Keith is his name, I think her name is Jones McAllister and she's having an MRI and I think she's having trouble getting off the table. So she had called him in to help and he had on this 20-pound. It was like a workout, kind of like a weighted vest, I guess, except it was a necklace, it was 20 pounds right. So he comes in there and leans over to help her up and that MRI of that huge magnet just sucked him in the machine.

Speaker 2 1:08:48

He's, he is dead Like he died in her arms and it was, and she was yelling and says turn it off. You know they couldn't get the machine turned off and it wasn't the first time that she had been had an MRI there, nor was it the first time that Keith had been there wearing that necklace and the fact that he even got in the magnet.

Speaker 4 1:09:07

Yeah, they tell you to take off, I know, but what killed him?

Speaker 2 1:09:10

ultimately, the MRI has such a huge draw of a magnet that it sucked him in there and I don't know if it strangled him or broke his neck. Like yes, they were Break his neck or something I don't know. I don't know if it broke his neck but he probably suffocated broke his neck, probably suffocated.

Speaker 2 1:09:26

Yeah what? But he couldn't get. You couldn't get loose and it's I mean it's. It's a super strong, like if you had metal in your body. It's why they ask you to take off all your jewelry hey, do you have any metal in your body?

Speaker 5 1:09:32

things like that, because it'll you know, anyway, he's, I didn't hear about that traumatic.

Speaker 2 1:09:38

I can't imagine being very sad, being hurt for her and she's just yelling and uh anyway. So I just want to lift up that family. There's a lot of people it's been a weird season people passing in different kind of ways, even friends of ours and stuff but definitely pray for that family because that's just such a.

Speaker 7 1:09:56

I think it was in New York somewhere in. New York. I did not hear that.

Podcast Wrap-up and Future Announcements

Speaker 2 1:10:01

Anyway, it's just awful, but someone pray for them.

Speaker 1 1:10:04

Everybody's like oh my god, have you seen this Chris Jansen dude? Because he's very unique. Yeah, I remember forever hearing about him when he was trying to get signed. Yeah, very good performer.

Speaker 4 1:12:14

I remember when we did the Bethel thing the first time I ever did like a round with him.

Speaker 2 1:12:19

Oh yeah, bethel Bible Village in Chattanooga.

Speaker 4 1:12:21

Yeah, the K-Lo host is a huge part of, but he had a kick drum on stage.

Speaker 2 1:12:30

Yeah.

Speaker 4 1:12:30

He had a harmonica stand, he had everything and I'm like, what is he fixing to do? And when that sucker went into stuff.

Speaker 2 1:12:43

I was over there going. I don't want to follow him. I knew whatever he was going to do, that I didn't want to do anything after him.

Speaker 4 1:12:46

I didn't want to follow him at all. It was amazing. It was fantastic.

Speaker 2 1:12:50

He's great To Chris Jansen. Thank you, buddy.

Speaker 4 1:12:55

Let's wrap her up. What do you think? Talk about original glory, we love those guys. Patri her up. What do you think? Yeah, I guess, talk about, uh, original glory, we love those guys. Yes, patriot mobile.

Speaker 2 1:13:09

Have you guys set up your line?

Speaker 3 1:13:10

jets I'm in process. I am too. Yeah, they saw them on the road this week they were. They're all out of good time tour okay good, because they're sponsors this week. My son was out on the road this whole this past weekend.

Speaker 4 1:13:19

It was a great time, dude, I saw the sound check that you posted. Yeah, it was awesome, was awesome. Keller was killing it, it was awesome.

Speaker 1 1:13:28

You'd think most kids would get up there a little bit nervous or afraid.

Speaker 5 1:13:31

Maybe he was, but he attacked it like it was his stage.

Speaker 4 1:13:36

I figured Jason would come out there and be like give me that mic kid?

Speaker 3 1:13:38

What are you doing? It was so fun to have him out. He's getting ready to go off to college, so we're dealing with that right now, which is you know what.

Speaker 2 1:13:50

I thought you'd want to talk about it.

Speaker 1 1:13:51

Parting shot. It will love us. Maybe it's coming, but I was going to say real quick.

Speaker 3 1:13:58

That's almost hysterical, though, but I will say Patriot Mobile guys really fun time. Had some drinks together.

Speaker 1 1:14:05

They're incredible people. Really good time.

Speaker 3 1:14:07

The had some drinks together they're incredible people really good time their mission is incredible that they're doing every night. We're playing, they're out there in the pit having fun and they're also good to us. Good to good to alveon, yeah go I'm sure they're still offering it.

Speaker 1 1:14:17

Yeah, go to patriot mobilecom, put in the code small town. They give you a free month.

Speaker 2 1:14:21

It you won't leave and so you're on your benefit, your benefit for that, for the, for the other line, because you've been using it, I've been using it and it's on your existing phone.

Speaker 1 1:14:30

I'm talking about the other day. Uh, as a matter of fact, where I live, my normal service isn't good, so I just flip over to my second line. Service is rocking yeah, it's awesome.

Speaker 3 1:14:41

It's great, but yeah. So the town of nashville suffered a great quarterback loss.

Speaker 2 1:14:46

This week Is that what you're talking about? Yeah, I thought you may want to preach on that.

Speaker 1 1:14:50

It's awesome. Let's end with this.

Speaker 2 1:14:53

I can't think of here Will Leps' name without thinking about Tully.

Speaker 3 1:14:56

No, never again. So he won't be playing this year.

Speaker 1 1:15:00

Nope, not that he was going to play this year. He's out. Not that he was going to play this year, but he's officially out.

Speaker 3 1:15:09

And hopefully you're going to have time to come on the podcast. He really should, because I want to tell him I think he'd be better at tight end. Stop trying to play quarterback. Well, there's a low bar that he set for himself. Well, I mean now with his shoulder, whatever, I mean whatever. I think he'd be a better tight end. I really do Bulk up a little bit. You're super, super athletic. Tight ends, tight ends are. I mean he could be a tight end, a much better tight end than a quarterback. Will come on the podcast, buddy, please? Yes, I don't know if you will but we haven't really givena ringing endorsement.

Speaker 3 1:15:40

No, actually I disagree. Every time I talk about Will Levis for the listeners I always start with saying he's super athletic.

Speaker 4 1:15:49

I bet that end got tight when they drafted that other boy.

Speaker 2 1:15:51

But now it's Tannehill now, right, so he's going to be the guy.

Speaker 4 1:15:59

What are you talking about, are you? No, that's not true.

Speaker 2 1:16:03

Saw it on Facebook. It's got to be true.

Speaker 1 1:16:05

Cam Ward, dude, they drafted him number one he's playing. Tannehill yeah, I think we know Ryan. He is a great, great dude. His family is great, his wife's great. We've known them for quite a while, since they were in Miami. Where is he? He's not anywhere. He ended up not playing last year. He was going to wait for the perfect situation If it ever arose. He doesn't want to go. Just be a backup, let's have Tannehill on.

Speaker 4 1:16:30

Huh, let's get Tannehill on here.

Speaker 1 1:16:33

I might call him now. Yeah, I asked him not too long ago and he was like eh, I'm just saying we had Cash on, we had Christie on.

Speaker 4 1:16:43

Yeah, I know, look where they are In the cabinet. It's true, tannehill wound up in Trump's cabinet. What do you got, kayla? What?

Speaker 2 1:16:48

are you ending on? I was just going to see if Neil wanted to mention the Open and Scotty Scheffler.

Speaker 4 1:16:55

Yeah, I was going to watch all that right. That's like we called that before it even happened.

Speaker 2 1:17:00

Okay.

Speaker 4 1:17:01

I knew he was going to win it after day one. Okay, and there's an in-depth look.

Speaker 7 1:17:04

He's dominating no.

Speaker 4 1:17:05

I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 1:17:06

I'm just saying but he's dominating.

Speaker 2 1:17:08

No, I'm just saying he's dominating like Tiger Woods.

Speaker 4 1:17:10

Scotty Scheffler is I'm like and he's an amazing human being. Yeah, I mean, he has everything.

Speaker 1 1:17:18

Did you hear hey? So I did tag him, because I don't know if you saw the Nike ad that they did, where it said you've already won. It was him with this kid. I was like, wow, that's surprisingly a really good ad. So I said Nike was a surprisingly really good ad and I tagged Scotty Scheffler in it, and then you know, you can go and see who's looking at your thing. Oh, Scotty Scheffler, I was like, will you come on our podcast? Oh, that'd be epic.

Speaker 3 1:17:45

He could play on our team for the golf tournament.

Speaker 2 1:17:52

And what I thought. This is amazing because I read this and even all the golfers were talking about that. He's just in a league on his own and they're just talking about they're just trying to get close and keep up with him. But this is interesting. So 1,197 days separated Scheffler's first major from his fourth, with legendary golfer Tiger Woods accomplishing the same feat in the exact same amount of time.

Speaker 1 1:18:12

Exact amount of days.

Speaker 4 1:18:13

Yeah, it's no accident.

Speaker 2 1:18:16

It's just odd. I mean it's like how is that even possible? Anyway, it's crazy.

Speaker 3 1:18:20

Matt tricks me out Like an eight nine-stroke lead.

Speaker 1 1:18:24

Yeah, you know, nobody can keep. He's way too consistent, nobody can keep up.

Speaker 4 1:18:33

I love it when that happens and golfers like him come along and they're bad for ratings because everybody turns the TV off because they know what's going to happen. It's going to happen with him and he's just getting started. It's not the most important thing in his life and you can tell.

Speaker 1 1:18:48

His interviews are riveting because of that.

Speaker 4 1:18:51

It's his job and he goes out and does his job to the best of his ability, but it's not the most important thing in his life. He does it for God and he does it for his family and he's a winner and people I mean.

Speaker 3 1:19:04

you can say whatever you want. We love winners.

Speaker 2 1:19:06

We're going to try that podcast we do Absolutely.
