Smokin’ Section feat. Joseph Kiel | BAD DOG PODCAST w/ Austin Bohannon and Hunter Kiel

In this episode of Bad Dog Podcast, the boys are joined by Joseph Kiel — Hunter’s little brother and Austin’s former catcher during their college days at UAB. The stories start flowing fast as the guys dive into college baseball memories, legendary drinking stories, and some hilarious in-game moments from their time together.

To top it all off, the episode doubles as a birthday celebration for Austin, which means the boys are cracking drinks and letting the conversation go wherever it wants — exactly how a proper Bad Dog drinking pod should be.

SPEAKER_01 0:00

You can drink, you can wait on the rain. Either way it's gonna burn. I saw somebody familiar sit in front of me and I just was like, hey mate.

SPEAKER_00 0:09

Joe was like the make-a-wish kid there because he bought the t-shirt and he got everybody every stripper to sign his t-shirt. Dude, he was walking around tipping. Hey, I'll give you 10 bucks if you'll sign my shirt. And that's what he did. Yeah. Sapphire. Two diamonds. Yeah. Dude, what? Yeah. I'm about to shit myself. Dude, Bo didn't, uh, or Joe didn't tell us that he did that until we got back to the house. Remember, he showed us the shirt at the house. He was like, oh, by the way, guys, I got 40 strippers to sign this t-shirt.

SPEAKER_02 0:43

And we were all like, holy shit, Joe.

SPEAKER_01 0:45

Well, the guy, the guy that sold me the t-shirts, like the guy in the front, he was like, Look, man, here's your Sharpie. He was like, here's your Sharpie. Just take it and get all the girls to sign it. It'll be awesome. He was like, Don't tell your boys. And I was like, all right, sounds good. And I was just walking around.

SPEAKER_00 1:00

I had put it on for a second and I had a few, and then after I started getting a bunch of them, I took it off and was just like Dude, it was so funny because we got back to the house and we held it up like a Super Bowl trophy. We're all just standing around. We took a picture with it. We all held it up. I didn't have a picture. God forbid we go get an autograph from Tom Brady or somebody cool. We got a damn autograph from Diamond, Sapphire, Candy. Mississippi Queen.

SPEAKER_01 1:29

Wait, whoa, whoa. We were doing what? Whoa. We were we were laying in we were laying there about to like we were hanging out. All right. And we were looking on Instagram, trying to find one of the girls' ladies. We did find her. I DM'd her. Oh no. I never got a response. Huh? I have no clue. It's probably nasty. Good afternoon, sweetheart. I miss you. Oh. That's right.

SPEAKER_00 2:06

I was trying to get her to come back to the house. I'm like, bro, you can pay them, get him to come over here. Dude, speaking of that, Kendall's friends walked in there just to deliver some alcohol or something to us, or dropping off a suitcase or something. That's right. Yeah. They were bringing it over, and these two just random girls walk in and it's like, hey, who ordered the strippers? We're here. And we're all like, whoa, they came. Poppy looked at me. I looked at Bo. Bo looked at Nate. We're like, who ordered them? Who was it? And it was just Kendall's friends dropping something off. You remember that bachelor trip? I had the hiccups for like, I think it was like 14 hours. Yeah, you did. That was uh that was Nate's, yeah. That was Nate's bachelor trip. I think we went and we went out in downtown Pensacola and I had to Uber home because I couldn't quit hiccuping. I remember that. I got in your head too because I showed you that video of that guy having them for a year. No, it's like he had them for like 20 years. It might have been, yeah. And you were like, oh my God. You know, I mean, perception is reality. Now I'm like, I'm stuck with these damn hiccups for the rest of my life. I'm just in bed. All right. Oh no, it's still here. Dude, we were trying to scare you all night too.

SPEAKER_01 3:07

Well, we tried the peanut butter, too. Do you eat a bunch of peanut butter?

SPEAKER_00 3:11

What happens is, so I had a You just eat a bunch of peanut butter.

SPEAKER_01 3:16

This shit works, dude.

SPEAKER_00 3:17

So when you have the hiccups, you lay upside down. So I just put my legs where my head is, put my head where my legs are, lay upside down in this chair, eat peanut butter upside down to get rid of the hiccups. And it worked? So I'm about to stick you into peanut butter and you just or something. You ate 4,000 calories of peanut butter that night. We didn't have any damn peanut butter. Dude, we're back. Come on, Daddy. We are let's go. We got Joe Keel in the studio tonight. Yeah, for anybody out there who doesn't know my family life, this is my little brother Joe, also called the missionary bulldog. How in the L? I've never called you that. Dude, we got a little story to start the podcast off. We were at a trip in Houston, uh, a bunch of buddies of mine, and we all had to stand up and introduce ourselves and tell us one fact, one interesting fact about ourselves. And Joe stood up and nobody knew him. Not a soul in the room knew who he was. He said, Man, my name's Joe Keel. I'm Hunter's little brother. He goes, I'm not too interesting. He sat there for a second, everybody looked around. He goes, but my girlfriend does call me the missionary bulldog. Nobody's ever called you that shit. Or have they? Everyone in the room was like, What? And then it just got really funny. We all just started laughing, dude. He's one of those guys that creates his own nickname. What's something cool that I could say everybody calls me? Probably the missionary bulldog. For the last three years, everybody that I've seen. Every friend I have calls Joe the missionary bulldog. Where's Bulldog at, man? You seen Bulldogs? At least it wasn't the backdoor bandit or something. That would have been terrible. I had to make it believable. I've always known him as Binglebang. That's right. That's what Lisa calls. Yeah, our mom's called him Binglebang since he was four years old. She does the zoom in photos. Oh, every birthday, dude. I feel like everyone out there's got a parent that does the funny zoom in and just a terrible picture of you on your birthday, and you're like, God, what? Yeah, they take like a family picture and zoom in on a headshot rather than get an actual headshot. My mom's bad about getting on Instagram or Facebook or whatever and just screenshotting the post. So it'll have like all the white post around it with the caption in it, and she'll be like, look at this beautiful picture of you. Like, Mom, it's a damn Facebook post. It's blurry as well. Well, you have to do is tap the picture, hold it, and you can save it. Instead, she just screenshots the picture. I'm like, what a great picture. Dude, that's growing up in the 70s, 80s right there, dude. That's that's oh, technology just whips their ass. Can you imagine when we get older with AI and shit? We're not gonna be able to damn Dude, our kids are gonna dupe the shit out of us. We're gonna be fucked when it comes to that. Oh my god, dude.

SPEAKER_01 5:48

Kendall's dad today, he he accidentally cropped a picture. He said, Man, you got that original picture? Because I accidentally cropped mine. What? Just send me, send me the original. I can't get this shit fixed. He didn't know how to ungrop it. Watch this, man. It'll change your life. All you do is click the little buttons and revert it back to original.

SPEAKER_00 6:12

Dude, they don't know. It's like my grandparents, they've had cell phones for years and they've never figured out how to work them. My parents have even written out one by one instructions. Open the flip phone, dial the number, hit call. And then you'll go out there and be three days you hadn't heard from them. They hadn't answered the phone. We don't know how to work this damn thing. Dude, they're harder to work. I mean, I think the home phone is harder to work than the cell phone. The cell phone, you just open it up and click it and then hit the green button and it says. I guess it's all relative to what you know. I mean, dude, because we try to get them a touch screen phone. Because I mean, they're my granddad's 92 and my grandmom's 89. The touch screen really wears them out because they'll accidentally click the wrong thing and they'll be on an app. God forbid they hit an app, and then they're stuck on an app for forever. One of the pre-downloaded apps, because they're not downloading the health app. The hell is an email? They're stuck on that shit. Yeah, think about that. Growing up in the 50s or the 40s, 50s when your granddad grew up, and then now you're on an iPhone and you have 500 apps in your face, and it's like it's probably looking at German or Chinese or whatever it is. Bro, my my grandma who's 83 sends me YouTube video links. Oh. Yeah. But hey, they can't decipher. It's like on Facebook, they can't decipher between what's AI and what's not. You'll just like I'll just go to like an old person's uh Facebook and it's just straight AI videos and they're sharing it, thinking it's the coolest shit they've ever seen because it is, but it's not real. And they think, oh my God, look at this. They saved them from this fire, it's all fake shit. It's Trump saving somebody from a fire. Trump is a firefighter. He's in a trick on Facebook when uh all those Texas floods were going on that Nick Sabin and Jalen Hurts were in like a little damn duckboat going around picking up people and saving them. And they believed it. They believed the shit out of it.

SPEAKER_01 8:02

You remember when the tornado happened in Tuscaloosa and all the rednecks got on Facebook and said, God steered that tornado right away from Bryant Denny. He must be an Alabama fan. That's the best. It swerved right past Bryant Denny and made his way through the project.

SPEAKER_00 8:25

It mowed down 85 Section 8 houses, but it didn't touch Brian Denny now. Let's be honest, though. If God was a fan of anybody, he'd probably be an Alabama fan. He's an Alabama fan. He's a Nick Saban fan. That's what I was about to say. I compare God to Nick Saban a little bit. Oh yeah. If God was a fan of any coach, it's Nick Saban. I bet you do, Gumper. I sure do. God is definitely a Nick Saban fan. Oh, 100%. Jalen Hurts fan, too, because you know he did it the honest way and he, you know, he's a good guy. Hates LSU. He probably likes he probably hates LSU. He likes uh he likes Mac Jones. Stand-up guy. He liked Tua a little bit. Let's get on the backstory though. Mr. Joe Keel right here was my catcher at UAB. We grew up together. I mean, I remember, you know, us all growing up, but I didn't really get to know him until we played ball at UAB, and man, he became like a brother to me. He was our catcher, and he would always catch for me. And he would always tell me. He'd always say, finish your bitch, finish your bitch. I'd put my glove up like nobody could hear me. I'd be like, shut the hell up. Don't tell me what to do. Don't tell me what to do. Finish it. Finish it. I'm like, no shit. I hung a curveball three times in a row. I know I need to finish this damn thing.

SPEAKER_01 9:36

I got a story about that just in itself when we were at Louisiana Tech. God. We were in the bullpen.

SPEAKER_00 9:44

Is this wait? Did Bo have a night out before that game, too? I think. Oh, I had a night out before every start. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:50

I had a night out every night out. We were in the bullpen. Everything was going great. Bo was having a good time. This kid behind me, I just hear, Dad, Dad, this guy's throwing real slow. I turn around, Bo's looking at him, he's MF and him. I'm just like, all right, here we go.

SPEAKER_02 10:11

Hell yeah, it pissed me off.

SPEAKER_01 10:13

I'm sitting there thinking, yeah, I'm throwing slow now. Just wait till I dice your team up. Bo Bo starts amping it up. Here we go. Like he's throwing as hard as he possibly can in the pen. 81. We go out, we go out to the first inning. We get out. It's bottom of the first. Bo punches the first kid on three pitches. Like, all right, here we go. We're gonna have a good night. I think you punch the second kid out. I think I went three up, three down. I'm sure it was. Yeah, it was it was something. We get out. I I'm I don't want to say too much to Bo because if I say anything to him, he's getting pissed thinking that I'm talking shit to him. So I just was like, all right, man, like, you know, keep at keep it going, keep it going, keep it going. We follow OT to the first kid in the second inning. His name was Manny Garza. I will never forget it. He had a ball over the apartments. He resigned, I mean, he was speaking as much Spanish as you could imagine. He didn't start running until the ball landed. I'm yelling at Bo. I'm like, lock back in, baby. We're good. We're good. They weren't good. I took a mound visit five pitches later. He goes, dude, I'm done, man.

SPEAKER_00 11:20

Damn, I was tired as hell. I remember I was sick and I just had just enough juices for one inning. By God, they should have had me in the bullpen that day. I didn't make it out of the damn second inning. They had to come get me. I think I gave up an eight spot. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:31

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_00 11:31

Rip to one pick. One 10-year-old talk shit to Bo, huh?

SPEAKER_01 11:34

It pumped him up for one inning. We needed that kid there the rest of the game. The rest of the game from the yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:39

I can't even walk in Shreveport, Louisiana without getting bullied still to this day. Shreveport.

SPEAKER_01 11:44

Bo Bo walked. Bo walked our pitcher coach walked out there and Bo said, or Bo looked at him and said, Man, I think it's time rescued. You ain't got another hitter in you. And Bo said, nah, man. I think it's it.

SPEAKER_00 11:59

That wasn't even nobody warming up. I'm like, y'all gonna have to warm somebody up and get me the hell out of here. I felt like I was in damn war zone Afghanistan, man. Just bombs going off left and right, dude. Just nuke, nuke, nuke. I was a lone soldier out there, man. It's terrible. I used to watch you guys on uh ESPN Plus, like before our games, and I would, dude, y'all hated each other. Y'all wanted to kill each other when he was catching you and you're pitching. That's one thing I respected about him is he would tell me what he thought and whatnot what needed to be said, you know, but I didn't want to date. But you aren't hearing it at the time. Damn, I'm trying. You know what I mean? It's not like I'm out here just not damn trying. I'm trying to throw a strike. I just never could.

SPEAKER_01 12:35

Well, you throw 15 strikes in a row and then you'd four pitch walk the next guy. She's like, all right, dude, like you gotta figure something out here.

SPEAKER_00 12:42

I'd be pissed. Yeah, I don't think baseball was my calling, man. No, Gable Square was your calling. Tell me, tell me about some of those things. If you've ever been to Birmingham and you haven't been to Gable Square, what are you doing? That's one of the best places on earth, man. True dive bar. I I came up there to visit you guys, and dude, y'all brought me there, and I was like, oh shit. This is what it's about. It's big enough. It's smaller in this room. I mean, it's about this big. You got a little bar right there. Fair price drinks, I'd say. Friendly stuff.

SPEAKER_01 13:06

250 high lives for the last 25 years. Yeah, that is true.

SPEAKER_00 13:11

I forgot about the highlifes because I'd always drink liquor. I'd go in there and always tell everybody, I'd say, look, here's the selling point. You can go in there and it's 250 High Lives. You get 10 of them, you're out for 20 bucks. You're fine. That's what I do. I go in there and I just get Jaeger Bomb shots for everybody, $300 tab. Tell us about the bingo card. Yeah, they actually had a bingo card in there while we were in our hot stretch of going there. And you know, a free space in bingo is like you automatically get it. Something that's a guarantee. Something that's a guarantee. It's a it's gonna happen 100%. And I remember walking in, looking at the wall, and seeing the free space was Austin Bohan and spend $250 in here. And I guarantee you I did that night too. Because once I saw it, I'm like, we're gonna make sure everybody gets a damn free space. I didn't even play bingo. I just made sure everybody else had it. Dude, that's the best, though, dude. You were a junior, senior in college at that point? Senior. That would have been my senior year. Oh, you were the damn ringleader. You were damn junior. You were taking the young kids in there, just letting them have it and gave them a shit. I just want everybody to have a good time. That's what I still want is like I can't have a good time unless everybody has a good time. You know what I mean? Like, if we were all sitting here and I was getting drunk having a good time, there's no way it could happen unless everybody else was. Yeah, I I feel that.

SPEAKER_01 14:25

We kind of found that place together, too. Like it was just like we went somewhere and then we were at Club South, which is right around the corner. The only thing separates us is a little like Cuban barbershop. You go into Gable, you go into Gable and it's just two pool tables and some touch tunes.

SPEAKER_00 14:43

It's the close thing to heaven on earth as you can get. I felt like a pilgrim coming in on the Mayflower when I found it. I'm like, all I know. If you find a dive bar, you literally feel like a European coming to discover the Americas. Oh, I can see. Man, I found the greatest place on earth. And you brought the whole team there, and that's where everybody started going too, dude. You were the damn pioneer. You really were.

SPEAKER_01 15:03

Two million nights were where it was at.

SPEAKER_00 15:06

It feels good to start a movement. You know? Makes me want to get into politics. You know? City councilman. I want to start something crazy. They need to fix these damn roads. I want to start something crazy, get a movement behind it. And unfortunately, I use my powers that the Lord gave me to recruit everybody to a dive bar rather than doing something phenomenal for the battery. Rather than changing the, yeah, changing the community for the better. You just got a bunch of 20-year-olds drunk. Yeah. I guess I use my good power for bad. But you know what? We had a good time. Best times of your life, yeah. UAB was a good time.

SPEAKER_01 15:41

The bartender in there, the first five times we went in there, she was trying to hook us up with her granddaughter. Do you remember? Miss Vaughn, she's like, I got a granddaughter. Her granddaughter's 55 years old. She'd been like, this picture of her.

SPEAKER_00 15:55

In my head, I'm thinking, not interesting.

SPEAKER_01 15:57

It's her and her three kids and their kids. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 16:02

I guess I could be stepdaddy for an I don't know. Here's the family tree. You went to Gable Square with us a few times. Dude, my first time in there, I could smell it. You know, you know one of those bars, it's like stagger leaves. Like you go in a place, you can smell it. You know this, oh, this sound bitch is right. This is mean. This is. Oh, I mean, there's nothing better than an establishment that's still around in America in 2025 or 2026 now that you can still smoke inside. That's cool. That's badass, man. That's what the, you know, that that was built on the back of the people before us. That's some real shit. That was back when people still bullied and shit. It was good. Things got worse when you stopped smoking inside. Yeah. When they outlawed cigarettes in a restaurant, that's when fucking things went sad. We went to Casa tonight and they asked us smoking or non-smoking? Oh, I didn't even know that. What a great question. I'm gonna pick non-smoking, but damn, that's cool that you still have smoking. That's badass. There's probably like one or two places around here that still have smoking restaurants.

SPEAKER_01 16:57

I think Chuck E. Cheese is one of them. Chuck E. Cheese, you can still smoke. I'm pretty sure, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:02

I think you got a corner, you can smoke. I didn't know they sold beer in there.

SPEAKER_01 17:06

So are the parents just low-key getting tossed at Chuck E. Cheese? I would be. I can't wait till I have kids.

SPEAKER_00 17:11

Dude, you know what's funny about that? You can't go to Chuck E. Cheese without kids. You can't just show up there and go. Did you try? No. How is that something you know? Listen, give me a break here. So, our high school baseball coach, Steve, we were all together the other night and I was like, he was talking about it. He's like, Yeah, man, I had a beer over at uh Chuck E. Cheese, and we're all hanging out with the pizza's good. I'm like, damn, dude, I might come join y'all. He's like, Well, you gotta have kids. You can't just show up kidless. Especially now with the Epstein files and shit, bro. You can't just be showing up at Chuck E. Cheese. Let's go have a beer at Chuck E. Cheese. Hey, let's get the boys back together. Let's rip a Chuck E. Cheese up. We're going to Dave and Buster's tomorrow. That's basically that for adults. That is adult Chuck E.

unknown 17:49

Cheese.

SPEAKER_00 17:49

Yeah, Rachel was asking me what I wanted to do for my birthday. And uh I got to thinking about it. And she mentioned top golf. I'm like, that sounds fun, but I like real golf better. Like, what could we do? Dude, Dave and Busters is the move. We can go in there and we can just, you know, play a game next to a kid, score a thousand, they score a hundred. Like, what the hell? Why? You're never cooler than you are as an adult in a Dave and Busters. Damn right. Because some kids just trying his ass off to make that little ball in the milk jug, and we're ripping it every single time. He's looking at us like we're God. Dude, they're wondering how. How do you know? How do you do this? Dude, David Busters has it all too. Have you been to the one in Huntsville? Uh no, I've been to the one in Birmingham. They got bowling, they've got a bar, they got a sports bar, they got everything in a Dave and Buster's. They got private rooms back there. What goes on back there?

SPEAKER_01 18:36

Ian Kendall's first date was at Daven Buster's. No way. I think I bought her two like mint mojitos or what.

SPEAKER_00 18:45

I don't even know what it was. I bet she was fired up.

SPEAKER_01 18:47

I said, hey, we're gonna have to switch to something else. They're like $14 a piece.

SPEAKER_00 18:52

I'm spending all my money on tickets. I was like, I was about to say, what did you buy with the tickets that night from your first date? I don't know. You've got to remember.

SPEAKER_01 19:03

Oh bad charge. My phone was so ghetto it wouldn't you couldn't plug it in to charge it. You remember that.

SPEAKER_00 19:12

You can get one for $10 on Amazon. You spend $100 and do it.

SPEAKER_01 19:15

$200. I've denied it for five years that it was our first date, but it really was.

SPEAKER_00 19:21

Well, I mean, David Busters I I kind of get that casino feel off of it. You know what I mean? Like I can go play a game and I'm probably gonna score middle of the pack, 300, but I mean if you hit the bonus, it's like 10,000 tickets. It's just like a casino. It's like a slot machine. I'm extra locked in thinking like I can get hella rich here. And all I can get with 10,000 tickets is like four bouncy balls and a pack of gum.

SPEAKER_01 19:43

Slinky. Oh no, one Tootsie Roll. They're the best prize in there. They have a I mean, have you seen it? It's a five-gallon bucket full of Tootsie Rolls.

SPEAKER_02 19:53

It's like Planet Fitness.

SPEAKER_00 19:55

That's a bowl win tomorrow. That's what I want to win tomorrow. Dude, I cannot wait. That's gonna be fun.

SPEAKER_01 20:01

They got a PS5 for your year's salary.

SPEAKER_00 20:03

It just goes to show you, too, that like humans don't change. Like it's that same thing, that same dopamine hit we got as a kid. Oh, yeah. And they just built it for adults. 100%. I mean, it's a great, it's a great marketing idea. That's what we need to do for your birthday tomorrow. Let's have a competition. That's what we're doing. Who gets the most tickets? Rachel, you in for that? Lindsay? Everybody? All right. We have a squad here tonight behind the podcast cameras. Nobody can see it, but we've got a damn army of people here. We're gonna have a competition tomorrow like no one's ever seen you. We're gonna do the couple with the most tickets and the couple with the least tickets. Okay. And both of you are winners. What's the prize? Fireball? Uh yeah, probably like a shot or something. That'd be sick. I don't know. It'd be stupid to do like a kid prize, like cotton candy or something. Cotton candy. Yeah, I'll just stain my teeth pink. 50 bucks? Who's paying it? Alright, $50 from Rachel. Okay, I'll I'm I'm a friend of Bo's birthday. I'll pitch in too, Rachel. I'll pitch in. How about we do a Dave and Buster's gift card? We're never gonna go back to Dave and Busters. What if we have a great time? We'll go back. Dude, gift cards are such a scam because every time think about do you ever use a gift card? I'll have a gift card in my pocket for a place, and I'll walk out of there after I paid and say, damn it, I've got a gift card to this place. Whoever came up with gift cards, the Jews, they probably did. Whoever came up with gift cards was genius because they knew that they would never spend them. Wasn't Iran? It wasn't Iran. The Iranian, there's no Daven Busters in Iran.

SPEAKER_01 21:32

Yeah, you're damn right there, ain't Hunter gave me Hunter gave me $150 worth of Texas Roadhouse gift cards at Christmas time, and he got two more, and he's like, Man, we got to go to Texas Roadhouse. And I'm like, dude, you just gave me 150. We spent them the other night, me and Kendall. I had we had bloom and onion.

SPEAKER_00 21:51

Because when they had the paper ones, they had a damn uh expiration date on them. Can you get a gift card about the time you'd remember? I remember it, it expired a month ago. I go into Rosie's cantana thinking, hell, I'm getting a free damn cheese dip with meat in it. With meat in it. This is gonna be great. Hell no. Shit expired December 31st. But you still gotta order it, so it's $25 for the large case that would meet in it. I've been holding on to a Bucky's gift card for about three years. Ooh, what a gift card.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

I got it in my wallet still.

SPEAKER_00 22:22

Bucky's is God's gas station. So what was more fun? I got a question for you. Was it more fun to drink when we were in college, or is it more fun to drink now?

unknown 22:34

Now?

SPEAKER_00 22:35

I'm gonna let you answer. I'm answering now because now I feel like I shouldn't be drinking, and it's fun when you're drinking when you shouldn't be drinking. In college, I was like, hell yeah, this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Now I'm doing it on I'm on free time. Now I'm like, oh shit, this is like free play. I shouldn't be doing this, but I'm doing it. That is a great point. I never thought about it like that. It's like when before you were 21, the fun in drinking was because you weren't supposed to do it. Yeah. And then you had the college stint where it's like it's understood. Even your parents knew. He's in college, he's just having fun. Now we're at that. Now we're supposed to have our shit together. Hunter drank 31 beers yesterday. All of a sudden we're not supposed to be doing it anymore. It's fun again. It's fun again. No wonder there's alcoholics. No wonder I go to the bar and there's like that 48-year-old in there that's just rip shit drunk. He's like, hey boy, what you doing? I'm like, oh shit, he's happier than me. I got a buddy that goes to the bar. And this some bitch, he's probably 40-something. He damn was color-coded. Couldn't even, couldn't even drink. He loved it so much. He would just, he would go in there and drink non-alcoholic beer. Just to be in the bar and stuff. Just to be in the bar. Talk about institutionalized, man. That is electrical. It's like the people that are so used to being in jail, they get out and they're like, oh well, time to maybe murder somebody or something. I don't even want to do it. I don't even want to murder them, but I gotta get back in there somehow. That's what you gotta be to be in the bar drinking non-alcoholic beer. That's crazy. Yeah, dude, drink those at home, man. What are we doing? Just don't go out. If you're gonna be out at a late night where everybody else is drinking, you might as well fucking drink, buddy. You gotta do something different. I don't like going out anymore. I don't know about that. I do with my friends, but I don't like just like just going out on the reg. You know, like once a blue moon, I like to go. And I like to have beer, like I'm starting to appreciate beers with dinner and like drinks with dinner. I'm I'm not liking the 3 a.m. thing. And it could be because I have to do it every single weekend when I play. Yeah, you see it firsthand. Yeah, so I do get tired of it. It's not so good. Going out just to go out, yeah, is is out of fashion. But when we got when we got the boys back together, it is fun to just run into a bar and like, oh not to counter your point of uh drink and being fun because you're not supposed to do it. That's a genius point, by the way. That's true. Now it's fun to drink when we're celebrating something. Yeah. You know, like if we got together every single weekend and talked about high school football and shit, it would suck. But you know, a lot of people do that. I really enjoy getting together. It's like you got a birthday, you got like uh somebody's getting married, you know. Like that's the shit that gets me fired up now. Using alcohol for what it's meant to be used for, yeah. Not for the oh, it's Thursday night. Fucking tear it down, boy. Yeah, not waking up like the shakes.

SPEAKER_01 25:20

That's what I liked about like college. Like it was just like, all right, it's Wednesday night. Where are we going? What are we doing?

SPEAKER_00 25:25

You're supposed to be out there. Yeah, like let's go do it. Like, I I mean, Bo was the worst influence on the fair, I wasn't supposed to be doing it because I was on like a COVID year and a gap year, and I was taking bullshit classes. I probably should have done been graduated. Everybody else, they're still supposed to be doing it. I'm still kind of just hanging on to something that's still there.

SPEAKER_01 25:48

And we're getting COVID tested every other day, and it's just like, all right, man, let's go to the bar and risk it. I think we had to quarantine one time, the whole time.

SPEAKER_00 25:56

I don't I don't remember because I didn't get COVID tested a lot. That was the year that was like the year after because COVID just kind of came out my last year, I thought. They were pushing the vaccine and shit, you remember? And I was like the one guy on the team that would stand up and say, Don't do it. You aren't the one get the shot. We were the same guy. Yeah, everybody got the shot of just preaching to nobody.

SPEAKER_01 26:17

We had a Navy SEAL, so our our coach thought it was a great idea, which I'm gonna name drop him. Oh, he was a loser, bro. I'll say Perry Raw. The Navy SEAL? Oh, no, I'm talking about the coach. No, our head coach at the time thought it'd be a great idea to have a Navy SEAL come talk to our team and it'd be like motivate us, and all he did was shit on Biden and the vaccine and everything else. I was like Diz the way. Me and Bo were just eating it up.

SPEAKER_00 26:45

Hey, I was a pitcher, but you thought I had a cup in. So brick, mega brick.

SPEAKER_01 26:52

Every every one of them, like everybody on the team was just kind of cowered down, and the guy's like, Y'all have any questions? Ask me anything. Bo said, hey man, uh, if you're up on this light town, like if you're up on the light pole right here and we all just scattered, you think you could kill all of us? And he he like looked at the light, you know, the light pole and he looked at all of us and he said, Yeah, I think I could do it. You ask him that. Hell yeah. And he's and and Bo was like, there's no way. And he said, No, man, like I'm I think I could take all y'all out. There's 55 of us sitting right there.

SPEAKER_00 27:25

That's a bad sum bitch, right?

SPEAKER_01 27:26

And then Bo was like, All right, the guy said, ask anything. Bo said, All right, how far? Like, what was your longest shot? He was a sniper. He said, What was your longest shot? And he was like, it was over a mile. This guy's riding 65 miles an hour on a on a dirt bike or a motorcycle or whatever. Talking about an Afghani road. Sounds like flying everywhere. He said, he said, my first shot, I hit a little low. I blew his leg off. He looks at us and then he goes, My next shot, let's just say he ain't here anymore. Yeah. And me and Bo are the only two fired up. Like we're pumped up. I think Jay Paul, maybe. We're a little bit too quiet. We're overlooking the fact that Bo asked these questions at the baseball meeting.

SPEAKER_02 28:10

The coach is like, Jesus, shut up, Boy.

SPEAKER_01 28:13

Well, he got fired up about the vaccine. Then the guy said, Ask anything, and Bo asked anything. That's awesome. I wouldn't know the cool shit. Damn right. It wasn't like it wasn't. He's running for like sheriff or something, and and probably Republican. Huge Republican. He's running for a while.

SPEAKER_00 28:30

He was probably on the Republican.

SPEAKER_01 28:33

But he said ask anything, and Bo took that as literal as you could take it. That is awesome.

SPEAKER_00 28:38

Well, you know, you don't want to ask a guy like that, just like, what does the country mean to you? And shit like that. I want to know, like, did you kill somebody? Well, and how'd you do it?

SPEAKER_01 28:46

I'm pretty sure you asked him if he got shot, and he pulled up his shirt. He like rips up his shirt. All you saw, he had a knife right here, and then a gun on his left side, and then he was and all you said was shit, I didn't know you had a gun. And he said, Yeah, I got two. And he he's in flip-flops and jeans, and he pulled up the bottom of his jeans, and he's got one wrapped around his leg, too. Do you remember that?

SPEAKER_00 29:11

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:12

And he's got he's like showing us all of his bullet holes and all the shit. He had been shot, I don't know, 15, 20 times. But he was at the time, he was doing contract work for the government. That's bad. So it's just like that's that secret shit. Yeah, it was just like, all right, man, like, here we go. Like, you gotta go kill this guy in this country. And it's just like, all right, man, me and two other guys, we'll go shoot and kill somebody, we'll come home. Then next time y'all need somebody killed, let's go do it.

SPEAKER_00 29:39

Dude, this is gonna be an awful question, but why the hell was he talking to the UAB baseball team? Where is he leading men? He was trying to get him fired up, but they our coach had no clue that I was gonna get him to go on this bullshit about getting shot. He also had no clue that I was gonna get him to go on his Republican stance of don't get vaccinated.

SPEAKER_01 29:58

He th he thought he was just coming there to just motivate us and like push us a little bit harder. And Bo went full conspiracy and questions. Four or five other guys got him fired up on the Republican, like the vaccine, all the stuff, and Byron and everybody. You gotta understand who.

SPEAKER_00 30:20

At this point in time, at this point in time, dude, I was fully convinced that the vaccine was the mark of the beast. Dude, we so, dude. I mean, I felt like I had a spiritual like obligation to like protect these guys that I love from the mark of the beast. I think I'm thinking like Bible times, like if you get the mark of the beast, you're cooked. And I'm like, I love these guys. I want to protect them from this. So that's why I got him on that. Hell yeah. Is because I'm thinking, dude, this is my one calling on this earth is to protect these guys. This group of men that I love, the UAB baseball team. I need to protect him from the mark of the beast. Turns out maybe the vaccine wasn't the mark of the beast.

SPEAKER_01 31:02

Dude, a week, a week before that, we were at La Tech. We were roommates. It was the first weekend trip of the year. Bo's like, have you ever heard of Alex Jones? I'm like, no, I never heard of it. Vampire, vampire. I'd never heard of Alex Jones. I'd never heard of Alex Jones. And Bo's like, dude, you gotta watch this video. And it was all about the vaccine and Mark of the Beast and everything else. And I start watching it and I'm like, you weren't real. It did make sense. You weren't real.

SPEAKER_00 31:31

If you think about the Mark of the Beast, what is it? So it's a it's a mark you get, and if you can't have it, you can't buy, sell, or trade. So if we keep it as simple as that, they were saying, if you're not vaccinated, you can't come in the store. You can't do this. It sounded like the damn mark of the beast. It really did. Yeah, I get that. So yeah, I may be an idiot, whatever. You're not an idiot. But I really thought that it was, and I thought I had a spiritual obligation to protect these guys, and that's what I set out to do. And turns out that that spiritual obligation that I thought I had wasn't enough for them to kick me off the damn team because I was pretty vocal about it. You're also saying the Friday night pitcher, and it's really hard to kick the Friday night starter off the team. You could have shot somebody and you would have still been on the team. I never will forget we were playing you, we were playing Notre Dame. Notre Dame comes down, and it's two weeks before we're about to play my buddy's the Friday night guy. I'm not the Friday night guy yet. And he says, Hey, such and such failed a drug test. You gotta go on Friday night, opening day. Let's go, dude. I knew I was the Friday night guy. I pitched six and two-thirds of an inning. No earned runs, one unearned, and they pull me, and all I can hear in the stands is my drunkle Jim gone. They pulled his ass. He's on the phone. They pulled his ass. They should have never pulled him. They're gonna lose a damn game now. They should have never pulled my nephew. I'm like, who served him? Who served him? You should have never served him. He was on the phone with somebody just screaming on speaker phone. Who gave him beer at a Notre Dame, Notre Dame baseball? Nobody. He had it himself.

SPEAKER_01 33:04

I wasn't even there then. I was just committed then. And I was at the game and I'm like, damn, like I knew Bo from growing up and like knew that he was, you know, I knew he was a good pitcher. And I'm like, dude, he is absolutely shoving against Notre Dame. Like, whatever. And then I hear all this commotion. And then I'm just like, kind of like, oh shit. Like, here's what I get into. Then I roll into the next year, and it's just like, I thought Bo was as just to the nails when it came to routine. But no. Bo drank six nights a week, and the only night the only night that he didn't drink was the night before his start.

SPEAKER_00 33:43

And I always started on, dude, I would drink every single night. I would start on Sundays. And so the one night I couldn't go out, it hurt me so bad. It hurt me more than anything. The one night I couldn't go out, I go out on a Monday year. I party on a Monday, but I couldn't party on a Saturday. You want to talk about torture? That's torture, bro. That's torture. That's the best night to party. And I'd have to lock myself in my bedroom and say, Well, yeah, I can't come out tonight because I gotta start tomorrow. FOMO's eating you alive, dude. All the boys are out.

SPEAKER_01 34:12

Yeah, he would he would drag me out on a Thursday night, knowing I had to catch the next PP and then catch nine innings the next day and sweat my just nuts off for four days of the weekend, then turn around and do it on Tuesday. It didn't matter. We had a fucking blast, though.

SPEAKER_00 34:28

Yeah, we did. It was a great time. I uh I think about the one time when we were we uh Coach Roth called something. It was like a meeting or something, and I remember Joe raising his hand, and I'm like, Joe, now's not the time to raise your hand. I remember thinking that. I'm thinking, raise it after he gets done talking. This is our head coach, man. He's trying to talk to us. He raises his hand, he ignores him, he raises his hand again. Coach Roth goes, Joe, what do you need? He goes, Can I go to the bathroom? I think it's just in my pants. And all he had on was his what like what a catchers wear, like a damn what do they call that? Jock strap, not a g strap.

SPEAKER_01 35:07

Jesus, but I wasn't wearing any G-strap. I wasn't wearing any draws. All I had was my jock strap and my practice pants.

SPEAKER_00 35:17

Oh he came back and he had his practice pants on, but he threw his jock strap away. He ruined them. Shit in the waistband that runs underneath.

SPEAKER_01 35:25

We were doing first and thirds, and like it's a lot of catcher throws. Yeah. I had a big lunch. Had a big lunch. Probably a Hunts Brothers pizza. I uh and I'm you know, throwing the second, I come up, throw the second one time, and I pushed one out. And I can't our coach got pissed because I I made a bad throw and did this and that, and he was hammering me. So I kept raising my hand. I'm like, Coach, I gotta go get this situated. He he got pissed at me and I ran to the bathroom, come back, and I don't have nothing on. I had a giant hole in my pants. Do you remember that? I had a hole from the bottom of my or the top of my knee to the bottom of my ass. And you could tell I didn't have nothing on. I come back and he's like, Are you serious, Joe?

SPEAKER_00 36:14

Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_01 36:15

Yeah, I shit myself. Sorry.

SPEAKER_00 36:18

Hey, Joe can attest to this. I was a damn dog. Oh, yeah. Especially when there wasn't a speedometer on the on the scoreboard. Because hey, it didn't matter if there was. I was still gonna kind of shove a little bit, but it wasn't as cool when I'd be pitching against like Auburn or something. I got a no-no going to the third, and I'm topping out at 79. That's not as cool. What's way cooler is when there's no speedometer, you're like, he looks like he's throwing 79, but it must be 88 because they can't hit this shit. You wanted to play that D2 team that didn't have the speedometer.

SPEAKER_01 36:53

No, until you get to Auburn on the midweek, and it's like Austin Bohan, 79 to 81. He seems to be below the hitting speed.

SPEAKER_00 37:03

That's what they said. I've got my grandparents, like everybody from back home is tuned in because they know I'm starting. Yeah. Against Auburn versus, you know, it's UAB versus Auburn. This is a big deal. I've got a midweek start. Like, this is a real big deal. The damn ESPN announcer says Austin Bohan and throws below the bad speed. Which means you throw the ball to them slower than they swing it. That's so damn embarrassing, dude. Leave that out, man.

SPEAKER_01 37:32

And it's Greg Olson, who's a 15-year big leaguer with the best curveball ever. Oh, yeah. Like he knows he knows balls. He's an Auburn Grad, I think. Majority, no, yeah. He played at Auburn, played in the big leagues for forever. Yeah, oh yeah. He like I I get it if like the people that are announcing the games don't understand baseball. They never played.

SPEAKER_00 37:55

And I never said he was wrong. I never said he was wrong, but I will say this Greg Olson, wherever you are sitting around, not the tight end that played for the Panthers, the other Greg Olson. Wherever you are sitting around, that was the first time UAB beat Auburn in baseball since 1998. Oh, really? Auburn. And your boy was pitching below the bad speed. And it was so funny because the guy that came in to relieve me was Graham Ashcraft, who threw 99. He's in the big wings right now. Don't you know? Don't you know when I'm pitching, throwing 79, topping out of 79. And then you see 99, you're like, holy god! It went to be the fastest fastball you've ever seen in your life.

SPEAKER_01 38:37

It went from slow pitched softball to the big leagues. Yeah, literally. One to the other.

SPEAKER_00 38:43

Both of us are wild as hell, though.

SPEAKER_01 38:45

Oh yeah. Graham would hit you in the chin, I will say, and then put three on the corner.

SPEAKER_00 38:49

I will say. I never will forget. I'm playing Fortnite the night before we play Auburn. I told Judd I was starting. Judd Ward that played baseball with me at Russell. He said, he's leading off. He said, first pitch, I'm stepping out. I said, dude, if you step out, I'm drilling your ass. I'm gonna drill your ass. And I, you know what? He's first pitch, I go to pitch it. He steps out of the box. And what do I do? They call fastball inside. I'm not trying to peg him, but I damn drill him. Did you really? 79, he doesn't even flinch. It was like a ping-pong ball hit him. It was like a ping-pong ball. Dude, he didn't even flinch. It didn't even look like it hit him. It just bounced off of him. He goes to first base, and what did I do? I picked his ass off. Oh, no shit. And it was a bad call. They swiped the tag and they reviewed it, but they couldn't see it, but they never even tagged him.

SPEAKER_01 39:37

Do you remember uh the next year when my first year there, we uh we were playing Auburn at Regions, and we were all hitting BP and whatever, and I had a dip in during BP. And Hunter, I don't know if you've heard this. I know the story. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I had a dip in during BP. I had a good one in. I'm hitting Perry Perry starts screaming at me. Get out of the cage! Get out of the cage! Turn around, get out, jump back into BP, try to hit again, screaming at me again. I'm like, shit. What have I done? He comes to the back of the cage, Auburn's team starts walking through. He's just grilling me about having to dip in. I'm like, all right, sweet. Like, that's that's the end of it. I'm you know, I'm at the tab start that night. So I'm like still fired up. We go into the locker room. He calls me in the coach's office. He's like, man, you know I'm gonna have to address the team. I'm thinking, all right, fine, whatever. We go in, we go into the locker room, he makes me stand up. He says, Y'all want to know something crazy? This guy right here. He chose an addiction over the team.

SPEAKER_00 40:54

Meanwhile, I'm probably slated to start on, oh let me split my dip out.

SPEAKER_01 40:59

I'm standing, I'm standing in the corner. I'm I'm like standing up. The only one standing up. He's like, that's the one. Chose an addiction over the team. Over all of you guys. And he's pointing around the room. Liberal shit.

SPEAKER_00 41:13

Because literally, I would I would come through, I would I'd say be the third in, and I'd be pissed off and say, that umpire ain't calling shit. I'd come in, I'd damn get my can of Copenhagen, stand up next to him, pack it, throw a hammer in in front of him, he just looked the other way. He hated me.

SPEAKER_01 41:29

When we were at Georgia Southern, he called me a golden retriever. He said, I can't beat you. He said, I can't beat you enough. You remember that? You're like a golden noodle. He said, All you are, he said, all you are is a golden retriever, son. I beat you off of me, and you come right back just wagging your tail. Like a golden retriever. I said, I ain't no fucking golden retriever. I was pissed. He said, That's all you are, son. I wonder where that guy is, man. I know where he's at. He's in his blacked-out Range Rover sitting under an underpass in Tampa. Oh no, he's he's a coach in the uh Rays organization. He claims. What? Yeah, oh yeah. He's uh he's under the Rays stink now.

SPEAKER_00 42:20

No wonder I didn't get drafted.

SPEAKER_01 42:21

He's the high he's the high hitting coach in the uh Rays organization. He claims Chandler Simpson as his claim to fame.

SPEAKER_00 42:28

Oh, dude, Chandler Simpson. Yeah, Chandler Simpson's really good. I doubt that Roth was the reason he's that good. Well, he never transferred to Georgia Tech. I think it's the fact that Chandler Simpson might be the fastest baseball player I've ever seen to walk this earth. And I'm not lying, I've watched a lot of baseball. I've never seen somebody run. Like, you know, a lot of people say, oh, first or third. That's the quickest first or third. Home, anything he does is the quickest I've ever seen. It's like watching a modern-day Jackie Robinson. You know what I mean? Think about when Jackie Robinson was playing, this is damn voodoo magic. This is voodoo. This is evil. There ain't no damn way you're supposed to be able to run that damn. They had to, dude. It was like when Bear Bryant, yeah, when that when Bear Bryant found that running back, they was like, oh shit, he's faster than everybody else. It was like when Bear Bryant discovered Birmingham, Alabama. We're gonna win more games than we're gonna be able to do.

SPEAKER_02 43:23

Holy shit. This is sick.

SPEAKER_00 43:26

Let me tell a real quick story.

SPEAKER_01 43:28

Twin Peaks is I mean, way better than Hooters.

SPEAKER_00 43:33

Well, you think that. Have you ever been to that? Listen. Two weeks ago, I was in the Daytona Hooters. That Hooters across from the Daytona 500 track is the best hooters in the country. They fly in the calendar. Listen, they fly in the calendar girls to work all the tables. What did you see? Oh, I saw God in that Hooters that night. I saw Jesus Christ in that Hooters that day.

SPEAKER_01 43:56

He's still sitting in the Daytona County jail.

SPEAKER_00 43:59

I bet you're Tips are crazy. Buddy, I spent $1,500 in Hooters. I'm dead serious, man. I can save you. I'm not lying. Dude, so Dan had kind of talked it up. We get there, and he's like, man, he's like, I'm telling you, these Hooters girls, I think they fly them in. I'm like, well, maybe they do. We get over there. The calendar girls are signing autographs outside. And the rest of them that aren't on the cover and aren't on the January, whatever it is, they're all inside working. Dude, the best experience you can have. You go in there, first off, they're hot. So you're just having to like have the conversation of like, hey, how are you? You know, you got a hot wagress. You're just like, oh, you know. Sorry, ladies. You know, when guys have a hot wagress, you're like, what did you major in? I'll take a Miller light and a fireball shot. You know, you want to you want to you want to bulk up a little bit and talk cool. I got a badass camper over there in Daytona. We're we got a spot in the infield. We in the infield, yeah. We got that shit figured out. That Hooters in Daytona is the best experience I've had of any kind of Twin Peaks, Hooters, you know, whatever other kind of establishment that when they wear nothing. But that was it. It was awesome. Think about the guys that just go to like their regular bar. They go, it's like a regular bar, they get a hot bartender or whatever. They're like, every fuck, every Thursday I go and I tip $100 and I'm gonna get closer to that year. Get out of here. You got no chance. No chance. No chance, dude. Hey, I gave her a hundred bucks for a year in a row, and she still isn't giving me no interest, dude. You're a damn loser. $2,000 worth of tip. You're nowhere closer than you were day one, buddy. She either likes you or you don't. You gotta have the feel to know, you know? Makes me think of Mardi Gras when they do the thing. So it's for beads. So you flash your tits, you get beads from the You've done it? Well, yeah. I mean, I've I've been there, I've seen it. I've never flashed my own tits at it, but now they're doing this cake throw. Have you seen the cake throw? Dude, the girls on Bourbon Street now, have you seen that? Have y'all seen those videos? So the girls on Bourbon Street now, they're not doing just a flash of tits for beads. There's people up on the uh balconies across Bourbon Street, and they'll throw a slice of cake down at a girl who's got her tits out. And if she stands there and the cake hits her, they'll throw a ton of beads down now. That's such a woman thing. You can't get away with just the beads. You know, well, I don't want just the beads. I want the cake too. You can't have the cake too. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Now they get it. They get it.

SPEAKER_01 46:27

I'm saying the first time I ever went to Bourbon Street, I was 16. And me and Mom were walking, and Nate was with us too. Yeah. And we're walking down through there, and they're like offering like the vial shots, you know, like they're in like the deal. And mom's like, yeah, get these young boys some shots. I didn't know that they put them, I mean, three-quarters of no, no, no, not in their tits. They put them in their fucking mouth down their throat, and they just bend, like they grab your neck and they tilt you up. You had the wrong one and they pour them into your mouth. Do you remember that? We were six.

SPEAKER_00 47:02

No, when I went down there when I was at LSU, they put them in between the cleavage. Like they'll have these damn jubils and they'll put the little vial of shot in, and you have to drink it out of the vial. So they'll they'll tip this way, and you drink it. You gotta be a good boy.

SPEAKER_01 47:16

Me and Nate had it out of their damn. Yeah, they would.

SPEAKER_00 47:23

They would deep throat the vial and then send it back at you. We had to take it. It's like how chickens feed their babies, you know?

SPEAKER_01 47:29

We were touching it. Come on, Mama Bird. Come on, Mama Bird. Yeah, we were touching mouths with them. Oh, eagle feeding. And mom thought it was awesome. Mom thought it was fucking awesome. Like she was pumped up. She probably took a video. Yeah, no, no, she did, I'm sure.

SPEAKER_00 47:44

No, hey, one thing is for sure. Y'all have the coolest mom, man. Y'all got the best mom. I mean, y'all really do. Like, uh there's a reason that I look at her as like my third mom.
