Nashville Recap At The Atomic Inn

After a few packed days in Nashville, the crew sit down to recap their first trip recording together on the road.

What started as a simple podcast setup quickly turned into a full Nashville run — six episodes in two days with guests from completely different worlds. The guys talk about the chaos of putting it all together, the behind-the-scenes moments you don’t see, and the stories that came out of the conversations.

Michael also tells the story of waking up to two Nashville metro police officers at the door after a podcast sign shipped from overseas got flagged by the post office. What was supposed to be a simple delivery turned into a pretty unforgettable wake-up call.

From there the conversation turns into what the trip really showed them — hearing guests open up about the grind behind success, the risks people take betting on themselves, and the reality that the road to where they are now wasn’t smooth for any of them.

They also recap the incredible lineup of guests they recorded with in Nashville including Filmore, Drew Baldridge, Miles Burris, Grayson Russell, Ajay Popoff and Ethan “Lil Skinny.”

Along the way the guys trade stories about growing up, parents who kept them in line, weird travel moments, the chaos of self-checkout grocery stores, and why sometimes the best conversations happen when there’s no real plan at all.

It’s the start of something new for Offstage America — and just the beginning of what’s coming next

SPEAKER_07 2:08

And I rolled over and I'm like, Paul, what are you doing? That's not true. That is not true at all.

SPEAKER_06 2:12

Not even remotely true. I literally got up, I got up to grab the water that was sitting on the thing, and you literally were like, hey. And I was like, oh, you're up. That's weird because we had four hours of sleep.

SPEAKER_07 2:23

You were basically in the living room butt naked. Of course I was in my butt naked. By fucking down my kneecaps.

SPEAKER_06 2:30

It wasn't like I'm wearing it.

SPEAKER_05 2:35

Let's be honest. He's he wears less in front of a lot more people. Yeah. Yeah, well, I mean, it's my journey.

SPEAKER_02 2:40

He's like sneaking up on him saying, were you sleepwalking? I mean, I've sleptwalked. Yeah. I've done it.

SPEAKER_07 2:45

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 2:46

And I had my back to him, so that's what it even works. I was like, what are you doing, Paul?

SPEAKER_02 2:51

His hands just slowly caress your hips into my room.

SPEAKER_05 2:56

And then he's like knocks on the door and doesn't like give me like a hey. Like a ding open. I'm like, hey, oh hey, dude. Oh. You're up. I was. I was on the phone to my wife.

SPEAKER_02 3:06

SPEAKER_05 3:10

This is in the morning. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 3:11

This is like right before you guys. And then I literally go put on a shirt and I was like, guess who fucking texts me at 8 23 in the morning? They're like, no way.

SPEAKER_07 3:17

Oh yeah, we had a run in uh bed that uh so we didn't go to sleep till like four in the morning. And we were all like, Mike's not gonna be here at nine. Yeah, we were all like, yeah, it's not gonna. And then we went right before we went to bed, and it's like, watch, he's gonna be here at nine the night when we do my brain gets in.

SPEAKER_06 3:33

And he goes to tell me, he's like, This son bitch actually gonna be on time. For the first time. And you were at nine o'clock.

SPEAKER_05 3:43

I'm like, that's bad. Like, he's still not here at nine. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:48

Well, the police officers officers delivered that uh at least you had a story. So where I had a story for it. Oh, yeah. So the sign back here, Adrina got made for me for Christmas, but when she ordered it, she didn't realize it was from Indi. I guess it was made in India, right? So it kept taking it took forever to get over here. Well, came over, got over to her house in California like on Saturday night, I guess, right? While I got here or whatever. Well, then she sends it, she's like, I'll just send it to you guys, so at least you have it. I go, perfect. I go, we'll send it to my buddy John's house because you know, someone will be there. I didn't know when all of y'all were going to be getting in. I didn't I knew AJ them were here all the time. So I was just send it to send it to John's where it'll be fine, and someone will be there. And so I set my alarm, I wake up, as I wake up, there's a pounding on the door, and I go look, and it's two metro police officers, and I was like, Oh, this is this isn't good, but hey dude, I didn't do anything, I was at the house. And so I go, I was like, man, open the door, I was like, hey guys, what's up? Does a John live here? Well, John's asleep. I'm like, yeah. Uh like, hang on. So I get out, walk out, and I'm like, everything good? They're like, and for first, of course, I was like, okay, yeah, cool. It's John. And then I'm like, crap, man, I wonder what happened. Well then he goes, Does a Michael Ray live here? I was like, you gotta be kidding me, man.

SPEAKER_00 5:06

Like, hey, I was fired. He's it.

SPEAKER_02 5:08

Like I've only stayed here one other time. He just moved into this place. Probably like they really tricked us. I was like, man, I wow. I was like, I don't know. I go, I go, I'm like, what the heck? So I don't know what's going on. I'm like, yeah, man, yeah, I'm Michael, you know. They go, Did you get this package set? And I'm like, well, yeah. Yeah, my girlfriend sent to me from California. This is I go, I go, dude, it's a sign for my podcast I'm shooting. I go, we're actually filming in Madison today. And uh, sorry, this was all yesterday or Tuesday. And so I go, he goes, well, it got flagged by the by the by the post office in UPS. And I'm like, well, I promise you, dude, like I'm gonna, we're not trying to use you know the post office for you know hardcore drugs over smuggling drugs over here. And I make a little joke. I go, but and if she is trying to set me up, dude, like you can go through it. And if she's trying to set me up, I will bring you right to her. Like I know I know exactly where she's at. I will cooperate. You're getting me on this. Yeah, throwing me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't get hit by this train. So they laugh and I go, Well, I go make you can go through it if you want. I go, no, it's fine. I guess packages are getting flagged that are coming. I don't know if it's that particular route, but he said from India through Orange County to Nashville. So I'm like, but it ends up there was no drugs in it. Like, like I knew. It was just a nice sign. That very nice sign. Very nice sign. So thank you, Adrena, for that. But yeah, that was a hell of a way to wake up, dude. At first I was out of the, I was like in the clear, and then he's like, Is Michael Ray here? And I'm like, man, they used the stage name.

SPEAKER_03 6:40

You know what I mean? Like they're like, yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 6:46

I'm like, well, did I give him the real name? Because then what if what if I'm wanted for some? I don't know. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_06 6:52

I haven't been to Nashville for a while, dude. I've no one you ever have that fear?

SPEAKER_02 6:56

Oh, yeah. Like a stupid parking ticket you forgot to pay somewhere. Or like, you know, because in Nashville, you gotta pay to you park in your own driveway now. It's like you everywhere you park your car, you gotta pay. So, like sometimes those freaking little things don't wear or sometimes you're just freaking you're just running into somewhere. You don't need to pay$30 to go get something that you know you're gonna, or you know what I mean? For like five minutes. Yeah, you're there for ten minutes. So you know, you gotta get the ticket and sometimes you forget, but I'm always like, Yeah. I don't know, did I forget to pay one? You know, now I'm like Jim Carrey and Lower Liar Liar.

SPEAKER_05 7:23

Yeah, or like sometimes you like pull up and you're like, I'm only gonna be like two minutes. You come back, you're like, fuck.

SPEAKER_02 7:28

Oh, he's already there. It's like it's like he's in a ghillie suit and he's like sealed team six in the bushes, dude. Just like got him.

SPEAKER_05 7:35

Like I'm I've watched the car the whole time. Like, what did I even see him? Give me a team.

SPEAKER_02 7:39

Yeah, I'm like, who hurt you, dude? Yeah, like I know you're doing your job, man.

SPEAKER_06 7:43

But can you even talk about the actual ghillie suit experience you had this weekend? No. Okay. Negative. No, no, no. We'll just leave that in some. Yeah, yeah, no. That would actually have been hilarious. Yeah, no doubt.

SPEAKER_02 7:56

No, not after being around all that. I'm like, no, they definitely they're listening, boys.

SPEAKER_06 8:01

Maybe now if you're thinking about if you would have been a little bit more awake, you could have thought, uh, what did they get me from that?

SPEAKER_02 8:09

Oh no, no.

SPEAKER_05 8:10

Yeah, yeah. Wait, they followed me from the from the hunt?

SPEAKER_02 8:14

Bro, it was nuts, man. But yeah, so no drugs were in the city. It was just a you know, hell of a way to wake up. I'm like, man, I texted Dra. I was like, well, I got the package. So by two Metro police officers.

SPEAKER_07 8:24

Passed by two cops.

SPEAKER_02 8:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 8:26

It's fine. Well, it's like you know you you haven't done anything wrong, but like every scenario starts going through your head. Like you start going back 10 years ago. Like, did I do something that could have traced that?

SPEAKER_02 8:36

Yeah, I did eat that. I did eat those grapes while walking around the market. I did eat them. I didn't, and I never paid for them. Mainly because what? Mainly because sometimes I do. Yeah, I forget allegedly. I'm over having to work at grocery stores. That's I'm tired of it. I'm over it. I'm over it. Like they're gonna be there anyway. And then if I go visit during it, California, you know they charge you 10 cents per bag out there, right?

SPEAKER_07 9:03

Oh, yeah. I live in California. Yeah, they do that.

SPEAKER_02 9:04

They do that for them too now. And guess what? Bag breaks immediately you put any sort of weight in it. The bag that you pay the bag you just paid 10 cents for.

SPEAKER_07 9:12

So I feel like at checkout, you know, you should be allowed at least one item. It's like a courtesy item for working.

SPEAKER_02 9:17

Give me something. That's all I'm asking. Give me something. I'm I'm sitting there with the lady that's on her phone that's pissed off that it says ding, please see attendant is on its way. And then God forbid, and if you're trying to please put thing in bag, I'm like, I don't want it in a bag. It's a watermelon. You know what I mean? I'm trying to put it here. Please wait here. And then they come over there mad with their thing. Yeah, ding, looking at you, fine. I'm like, I don't work here. We could have all saved this if you'd have just been in line, been at your little spot and went, hey sir, I'm open. And I would have went. Thank you.

SPEAKER_05 9:47

And we had human interaction.

SPEAKER_07 9:48

We've got this problem. That actually happened to me and Michael. We were at we were at the Ingalls grocery store, and we're trying to, or he's trying to scan something, and it's like not working, not working. And literally turn around, and the guy that worked at Ingalls goes, Yeah, you can't scan that. And Michael's like, I don't work here, bro.

SPEAKER_05 10:08

I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 10:08

I don't know that it's like you're right. It doesn't, I don't know that it doesn't work.

SPEAKER_05 10:15

But the way you said it was like There's no sign on it that said ask for help. Exactly. Or when you go to scan it, it says cannot scan. Yeah. Yeah. Big bold letters.

SPEAKER_02 10:24

I'm up here trying to type it out, trying to remember how to spell cucumber. This shit was like I didn't ask for any of this. I just needed a little salad. Yeah, yeah, okay. Is it and silent?

SPEAKER_04 10:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:43

Yeah, that's my hot take, I think. I think all of that stuff. We're taking jobs away. Well, I know it's uh convenient for some people, but an airport. Which uh, well, okay, I can't take that one back. Sometimes it's good to sometimes it hits up.

SPEAKER_06 10:58

I'm pretty happy with no human interaction when I'm trying to draw my bag off. Yeah, right. Yeah. I can walk up and just place it on the baggage and being like, Well, airports are already.

SPEAKER_07 11:06

Well, they dang near got it, bud.

SPEAKER_06 11:07

Weigh it, weigh it, tag it, go. Yeah. Right to pre-check.

SPEAKER_07 11:12

Yeah, and then you get to TSA and they are hassling you over there too. You get to pre-check. Pre-check. Well, that's true, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 11:20

I still have the line.

SPEAKER_02 11:22

Yeah, we got pre-check. I got pre-check and clear. It's a flex.

SPEAKER_05 11:26

Yeah. Yeah, having having both is a flex. Some of us don't have both.

SPEAKER_02 11:30

Well, also then there's the times where like, yeah, that line is even longer than the regular. But then you get up there and you're like, okay, I put all my stuff in. I'm just going through a sex ring. They're like, hoodie. I'm like, what? Hoodie? I'm like, you just told me that you can now tell that there's a computer and not a whatever B-word in the in that backpack, but you can't tell what I'm wearing underneath this hoodie. So one time I didn't have a shirt on underneath it. I was coming off straight off the bus. We were going from what it's like a little two-hour little hop on a plane. We're going to go do a radio show. So I just threw a hoodie on on the bus, had my shit together, me and my guitar playing tour major left. I'm like, dude, I'm not wearing a shirt underneath this.

unknown 12:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:08

And he like, kind of looks at me funny. And I was like, no, what? This is on you. Screw it. Took it off. And he's like, so you don't have to. I was like, no, no, no, I want y'all to feel safe. I want everybody to know.

SPEAKER_05 12:17

I want to make sure everybody on the plane is safe. Yeah. I'm a lower bottoming citizen, so I'm going to show you.

SPEAKER_02 12:21

Yeah, it was also like first thing in the morning. I had an eight yeah, one bloated. You know what I mean? Real lean, vascular looking. I was a little cocky. It'd have been after lunch. No way. I don't have to wear the hoodie.

SPEAKER_06 12:32

Waking up feeling like ready in the morning.

SPEAKER_02 12:34

Yeah, I'm like, I'm like, I'll take this shit off, man. Screw you.

SPEAKER_06 12:37

Can't believe like no one like posted on social media that that would have been actually about 4 30 in the morning, hence why I didn't have a shirt on.

SPEAKER_02 12:43

Yeah. We were taking the first flight out, which I was so I wouldn't even have paid attention to anybody then.

SPEAKER_06 12:48

I know someone's the only money flask can be. I'm not physically awake at that time. I I am like violently.

SPEAKER_07 12:54

I'm very much a zombie in the morning. Uh it takes me a while to get going. Except when I stand over you naked wide awake.

SPEAKER_05 13:03

I text up radio like we're gonna leave by like 12 or whatever. Our light just went out. Our light just went out.

SPEAKER_02 13:09

Uh, how long did you run it for?

SPEAKER_07 13:11

They cut it off off.

SPEAKER_02 13:15

We have your electrical what is this 1999 text messaging? You get it by the minute?

SPEAKER_05 13:23

So electricity has to run a lot of stuff, and I didn't move one of the cords out. I'll get it.

SPEAKER_07 13:27

So, this is actually a good uh behind the scenes uh point. Uh we have our our lighting guy. Yeah, there's a little bit of technical difficulty.

SPEAKER_05 13:38

What happens when you go no one running the board? Watch what we get done with all the trash at all. Not one fucking I can see it's recording. Uh oh, it's all red.

SPEAKER_02 13:47

Yeah, so I it is. We're still learning, guys. This is all for fun, man. Huh? Oh.

SPEAKER_05 13:54

The light? No, just the board? Like, we just put it here. I can be like, Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:59

Well, we'll get there, man. You know, AJ, before we went off the rails, AJ let us use this place so I called him to uh see if they want to be on the pod. And then he was like, dude, you should just use the atomic, and we got nobody there. So uh we were to he sent me some pictures and uh spots awesome, man. We just picked the corner spot and uh we'll got some videos and some photos to post so everybody can see this place. And if you're somebody, if a content creator, if you're a music, you're uh an artist, music videos, ph uh photos, photographer, any of that stuff, y'all check out Atomic Inn. Um they got some great spots.

SPEAKER_04 14:28

Like it's it's really awesome.

SPEAKER_02 14:30

And uh yeah, he's a great dude. And if you love rock and roll music, he's a rock legend. So uh band called Lit, check him out. There, uh, he's one of the guys that we had on the podcast in Nashville, as you've probably seen by the time this comes out. But uh yeah, boys, it was fun, man. Yeah, it was a great. So either we got five, this is our six, six in two days. That's a lot, bro. Right in. I mean, kind of fly by the seat of our pants, you know what I mean? And like anytime you get these, some some people are in town, some people have last-minute changes, you know what I mean? Some people are stuck somewhere else. So um it was great, man. And we got more, we got more people that uh that we're gonna have next time we're up here. We're gonna be getting some different people from you know, different friends of ours and walks of life, and and then um take on a couple uh adventures whenever we can. You know what I mean? So uh I thought it was great this weekend. I thought it was awesome.

SPEAKER_05 15:14

Everything was great. You know, uh not everyday people get to meet, but yeah, they're still fighting the same battles that they are every day.

SPEAKER_07 15:24

Yeah, it was it was really cool to uh hear the stories of the hardship because like and as I all of us know like we all deal with you know hard times in our life where you know things don't quite go the the way you expect them to go. And you kind of like when things like that happen, you just kind of feel like alone, like there's no one else in the world going through the same thing, which pretty much and I would say pretty much everyone in the world has those times, you know what I mean? So it was cool to hear uh those stories from people and guys who've actually lived it in like where they are now, you know.

SPEAKER_05 15:58

So it's just cool hearing all like how they started and you know, everyone just sees the limelight and the fame and everything. Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_07 16:05

People don't yeah, people don't see what uh the hardships that uh it takes. And it takes a toll on someone.

SPEAKER_05 16:12

And like, you know, with Drew and all that kind of stuff, and they'll see, you know, it's they do it for their families, they do it for like you know, me and Paul's anything. It's it's hard.

SPEAKER_07 16:22

Yeah, no doubt. You could really see like Drew almost made me cry. I think I actually did cry.

SPEAKER_02 16:30

Well, I told you guys. I knew Drew.

SPEAKER_07 16:31

Drew's story is incredible, just I've known him since you know, I mean, and the part where he thought about like not being able to shut it off, like most you know, people can go to work and you know, like whatever you're doing. Like he he mentioned like the guy at the Chinese restaurant like having the time of his life with his earphones like jamming, and kind of like it was an eye-opening uh experience saying, like, man, I just you just have to be grateful for what you have and the things that you know you've gotten to do, you know, even though some things didn't quite work out.

SPEAKER_02 17:02

Maybe we should just all start frying orange chicken, because if that is that happy. Also, by the way, I mean they're happy in the kiosk at the mall.

SPEAKER_05 17:11

Yeah. That's true. If you can just turn off like normal life versus work life. Like we were talking about before, like you can go you know, be up uh go get a job and you can have a consistent eighty thousand dollars a year. Yeah. But these guys are like, you know what, I don't want to do that. I don't want that blueprint blueprint, I want to do my own thing. So it's like if you take that risk, like again, we always take a risk on something, but you know, these guys are literally putting their lives like their whole life like family. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 17:40

I mean all four of us in this are putting ourselves out in some uncomfortable situations no matter like where all four of us are at, right? Yeah. Michael with you know being independent now and and doing that. I mean, I you know, you're we're kind of banking on ourselves and this thing, and Brady's, you know, probably got all the shit together.

SPEAKER_02 18:06

I have new music coming. Like it's not like I'm we can't make it seem like I'm like retiring. We're all hinging our whole life.

SPEAKER_06 18:16

What I'm saying is, bro, we're all betting on ourselves in in some instance here. But it's different levels and different layers, but even like with the four of us, we're s we're s hinging on on things too that need to work, right? I mean, even if I'm sure new music has got to be a little bit of a an anxiety, right? Because you want people to like it so you don't know until it's out. Like I said, it's different.

SPEAKER_07 18:42

Different walks, but all the same. You know? It's just like a the entertainment as a whole, you know, it's like it's different like across the board, like my background is professional wrestling, which looks a lot different than you know the entertainment industry and like the playing board. But yeah, it's the same thing, like the same, you know, concerns, like, you know. So I I go back to you know the NWA soon, and it's like the thing in the back of my head is just like, what if no one cares anymore? Because it's been over a year since I've been on TV. What if someone does though? Well, that's what I'm saying, like but I'm just saying that for example, that's write-up you showed me earlier was showed at least one person cared.

SPEAKER_06 19:23

The what? The write-up with the picture when with you guys walking out and so now you looked all like sexy and showed up.

SPEAKER_02 19:34

So I so they they um from from 1 FW?

SPEAKER_07 19:38

No, it was uh a different promotion was asking for a promo picture of me. So I just googled my name to find like the the latest up thing. So I'm going through it, and there was a website that had me and um one of my buddies Savvy that uh I did some AEW stuff with uh years ago. And uh it was basically like I don't forgot what it said now, but it was just pictured me and him, and it was talking about like how heart we hard we are.

SPEAKER_06 20:04

Yeah, they're they're strong physique. Big strong men. Let me I'm like strong men.

SPEAKER_05 20:09

Is this the stuff you gotta post? He's like, no, I'm gonna post now. I would I would have posted that hands down. Oh yeah, well, I yeah, I would. If I look at it. I'm so bad about it.

SPEAKER_07 20:17

Like I'm not I'm like I'm not even gonna click on that website because I don't I don't want to know. Screenshot that shit.

SPEAKER_02 20:23

Dude, I don't click on shit. No, I don't trust anything.

SPEAKER_07 20:26

He understands something now.

If someone that you don't know sends you a link or like, hey, I need you to vote for me for this thing, and you know that they probably don't do that thing, like don't disconnect. Well, hell bro, because your grandma sends you.

SPEAKER_06 21:43

But now I don't even I won't click on any links now. Like it's if you if I send a link to you, I would literally be like, hey, uh, you think they get smart. I'd be I'd be like, hey, uh, this is a real link, please click it. And then a follow-up of like, here's a selfie of me telling you to click it. Then I might do it.

SPEAKER_02 22:10

Well, don't text that. In America, that means something way different.

SPEAKER_00 22:14

In America, you're gonna get a link.

SPEAKER_02 22:18

Yeah, it might be two or three links to it. I don't know. Everybody's different. See, I'm still learning this country.

SPEAKER_07 22:23

I'm still learning this country. I I've lived here my whole life and I'm still learning this country, so that's fair. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:31

But you have one part of the country you don't even recognize it.

SPEAKER_06 22:34

Like, wait, what?

SPEAKER_02 22:36

It's like the language I I remember, well, first off, I I learned Spanish. Two years. Do you know Spanish? No, I learned uh cerveza, I learned beer, and I learned uh who's your daddy? That's uh because Toby Keith had a song called Who's Your Daddy? I figured if I'm alone in Mexico, my family's not going to Mexico, you know. Yeah, you never know what if I'm alone in Mexico, I'm probably gonna need a beer and I'm probably gonna need to find my dad.

SPEAKER_00 23:01

But that's smart. Made sense in high school, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 23:05

Yeah. However, I was also being taught it by a uh by a white lady. Yeah. Miss Mon, who was awesome. Very sweet lady. I went to a small school. But what's her name? Miss Mon.

SPEAKER_03 23:13

Oh, I thought you said Vince Vaughn.

SPEAKER_00 23:14

I was like, oh, Vince Vaughn.

SPEAKER_02 23:17

Yeah, I was talking about Vince Vaughn. It was before it was before his acting career took off. But I remember like that, like once you kind of understand it, like I really never learned it, but like I I I I I could read more I could like read words before I could really say them, right? But anyway, you start thinking about you start thinking about the English language. We got words that mean multiple different things. Right.

SPEAKER_07 23:38

Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah, and pronounce differently. And pronounce different. There, there, they are. Yeah. Yeah. It's like one of the hardest languages to learn, though.

SPEAKER_01 23:46

Fat is it F? Is it P H? Yeah, is that the R you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_07 23:50

Are we throwing it back? What's the word that's pretty easy?

SPEAKER_02 23:52

Bet?

unknown 23:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:54

Are you throwing you$20? Are you agreeing with me? You know what I mean? I don't know what we're doing.

SPEAKER_00 24:01

Yeah, what are we betting?

SPEAKER_06 24:13

Just like not even comprehending what I just said. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm like, my dad's like, oh, you want to do this? Like, bet.

SPEAKER_02 24:17

My dad goes, What the fuck you call me?

SPEAKER_06 24:21

Years old, he's just getting angry. What are you talking about? We don't bet, we're Christians.

SPEAKER_02 24:26

You better bet on Jesus the way you've been running around.

SPEAKER_06 24:29

My dad's like an old minister, so yeah, that's never goes over the wall. Oh yeah. Go slip, watch a game, drop a drop a cuss word. My dad just turns around like he's gonna whip my ass. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_07 24:39

I remember when I was younger, like uh, you know how like when you were a kid, and we I still do it now. Like you'd be like, come on, man.

SPEAKER_06 24:48

I thought it was I thought you were talking about something with your door closed when you were. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_07 24:55

But I would uh see you you kind of get in the habit of that. And I remember like I would do that not even thinking, like my dad would say something to me, and I'd be like, come on, man. And like, oh, that was the wrong thing to say. He's like, you don't ever call me man. Like, I didn't mean it like that. Yeah, laws are thin in a trailer, dude.

SPEAKER_02 25:12

Yeah and like my family, like they all they all come from the same area. So there's some stories about all them growing up. So that's what and I I think they strategically did it. Honestly, I think they made sure that we all heard these stories at a certain age in our life. 100%. So then, like, forever, I'm like, ah, I'm not gonna mess with any of these guys. You know what I mean? So I guess as a kid, you know, they're like, go to your room. Well, I was like on my way to it when I think my dad wouldn't know or he would have something like stupid. You're looking at him. What do you say? Nothing. So he's saying anything. And I get to my room, which didn't have a door in it, by the way. So they had no door on the room. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He said on my race car bed with a belt. What'd you say? I said, I said nothing. I talk a big end, I get my get in my room, go in my closet, goes to the trailer. The trailer walls are thin, dude. And I wasn't working with a door, and he's already pretty pissed. I was sitting there, my wrestling figures are like stupid dad, I'll tell you this.

SPEAKER_06 26:06

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:08

What'd you say? Nothing. I said nothing.

SPEAKER_06 26:10

Does everybody remember like a moment with their dad where you realized I really effed up? Oh, yeah, no, I understand. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 26:16

I got in trouble because I nearly didn't have a dad growing up. Wait a minute.

SPEAKER_06 26:21

Well, well, you know, all you say. You can narrate this part. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:26

Oh my god. Oh my god. And now after this. Yeah. I wish I had something to shoot this morning. There were turkeys back here. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 26:39

You know, I remember one uh one time I was in school and I forged my mom's name on a test or something because I felt it, obviously. So I was like, I'm not showing her that. So I forged her name. Well the teacher knew that I forged her name and called my parents. And by the time I got home, my dad was uh doing some work on the house or whatever. And like I'm trying to play it off. Like I know the teacher had called him. So I'm trying to play it off, like, hey, what you doing? And all that stuff. He didn't say a word to me. He just kept up, he just kept working.

SPEAKER_00 27:09

That's what you knew. The silence. Oh, yeah. That's a generation of silence right there.

SPEAKER_07 27:13

I said something else to him and just silent. Didn't say anything. And then he says, and then I was like, I was like, you alright? And he goes, just go in the house. I'll be in there in a minute. And I was like, I'm done.

SPEAKER_02 27:23

I'm done. I ain't going in the house. I need a witness. I need a witness that you don't pay for me. I don't even trust Molly.

SPEAKER_00 27:34

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:35

Yeah. Not without it, not without a security guard. You're not. I'm not going in there. Dude, one time we got, well, one time we were skipping school and we were in my senior year, and me and my buddy Bliffin and our Asian buddy Hong Heo, uh, he they would come to my dad. No, bro, he was the best, dude. Yeah. He was funny. His parents owned uh the country diner, Lisa's country kitchen. Oh, okay. Yeah. And uh, and so we they I only had one class my senior year. I would take history that I played bars and stuff, right? Well then my buddy Michael Bliffin, he only had a couple classes and he would work for our buddy's pool company pouring concrete and stuff, right? We just we didn't ask Hong where he was getting money. But uh so but they would dude I was I except for Hong because his dad was obviously Asian, but there was like four of my friends, I was dad in their phone because they would they would get sick at school, go to the office, and be like, yeah, and they would have to call parents just to let them know that hey, because we were driving at that point, so they had to let us know. So Bliffin would call me on his way and be like, all right, dude, I'm on the stand and be like, all right. I'd answer they'd be like, Mr. Bliffin, I'd be like, Yes, ma'am. Michael said, Michael said he's not feeling so good. I was like, Yeah, I had that this morning. So I just need him to get to school at least, you know, one more yeah, senior year. Meah, you only get one, you know. So she's like, Yes, sir, I understand. And so then Hong and Bliffin would show up at my house, where I was like, I only had that one class, you know. So then we would go like to the woods, we'd shoot guns, we just, you know, all right. Dad was at work, my stepmom was she was asleep and she she was a night nurse on our end. So um then one day we also, you know, it's kind of like when you first like criminals will say, like, well, I did it, I stole the money the one time, or I I did this the one time and it didn't get caught. And then the guy comes back and he's like, Well, can you do this money? You know, I had we had blacked out, I guess, throughout the year because we didn't realize how much we had been doing this. I dude, one time we were sitting in McDonald's parking lot and the drive-thru's here, and all of a sudden Bliffin just hits the floor, right? And he's like, Down, down, damn, we're in the middle. I'm talking about this. Is back when like the old veteran men used to meet in the mornings, you know what I mean? Have coffee and talk. Our three dumbasses are over there in the corner, and Bliffin's talking, eating an egg McMuffin. Me and Hong are on one side, and Bliffin just falls straight down. His mom had pulled right beside us. So we all fall down, and and and and Hong, it's Eustace, Florida, right? He's an Asian in Eustace, Florida. So there he is. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05 30:00

Like there's a God, I know who you're with. She'd like seen him and then go on.

SPEAKER_02 30:05

Yeah, no, no, so like she never saw us, but then then we go to uh Sunrise, Sunrise Grill. So I saw mom and pop real good breakfast spot, right? Because a couple of them we couldn't go to because my family have been going there for years. So we couldn't go to like genies or like all our go-to spots. So we go to Sunrise Grill one time. My phone's on the and it's like I'm supposed to be in my one class, you know.

SPEAKER_07 30:26

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:27

And uh I don't know why, but my dad called the school for something. They're like, hey Jerry, man, like my been here. My phone rings as we're in the middle and I'm eating grits, and my dad was like such a dad to all my friends, you know what I mean? That Hong and Bliffin were like, oh dude, we're screwed, man. We're screwed. We can't, we can't. And I'm thinking, I'm like, nope, nope, nope. Luckily, this is when, this is when if you if you were lucky enough to have grandparents and you're lucky enough to get close to your grandfather, right? This is when it comes in handy more than anything. Because you've heard shit about your dad that he did, you know what I mean? Because your grandpa was like giving you little things because he's trying to get back at what his yo, your dad did to him when he was growing up. So I get to call, I'm like, I'm looking at Bliffin. Bliffin's more nervous than I am, right? And he's like, You can't answer that. I'm like, well, we have to answer. What are you talking about? If I don't answer, he's not gonna stop calling because he knows he's listen, he thinks I he knows I'm not in class, he wouldn't be calling my cell phone, right? So I answer and I'm like, hey dad. He's like, hey, uh, where are you at? And I go, I'm at sunrise grill.

SPEAKER_06 31:29

I just opened up at this point.

SPEAKER_02 31:31

He caught you might as well, you're not, you're not compounding the what's and luckily, luckily, I had a Miss Butler who's an awesome history teacher and a great teacher. She was our teacher from like seventh grade on.

SPEAKER_03 31:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:42

So I'd had a I had it, I didn't, yeah, I wasn't in the same category as Bliffin. I was still passing. Bro, come to find out, Bliffin had been skipping so many days. They're like, man, he might not walk. So now, so now his palm's freaking out, you know, because we got it, he might not graduate. And so my dad was just like, dude, you're lucky you're freaking passing, and this is your senior year, and you got you got one class. Uh second time I got scared by him was I was playing this bar, and uh, everybody'd go to my dad's house or my uncle's house afterwards for like fight nights. We'd watch UFC or whatever. And uh we were going to my dad's. Well, he had left, a bunch of our friends and stuff had left to go to dad's. I had to wait to get paid and take my stuff down. There's still a bunch of people in there. Well, someone said something, there's a fight that broke out, someone said cops. So I was like, told our friend, I was like, hey, just get everybody come to dad's house. It was like Project X. It was like 200 people showed up at my dad's house before I did. Oh, so we're coming in, dude, and we turn, and it was when my parents lived in this neighborhood, and there is cars parts on both sides of the road, cars part all the way down the cul-de-sac. Parts into the oh no, I knew immediately. Yeah, I was like, oh no, dude. No, no, no. Everybody's hands is like two in the morning, man. Hey, luckily I had real cool neighbors. They used to let us rehearse in the living room. You know, God knows how bad it sounded. But uh my dad's looking at me, he's like, What the f did you do? I was like, Dad, this is this guy way out of hand. You know what I mean? Like, I didn't know this was what happened.

SPEAKER_04 33:10

I did not mean this. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:12

But then dad gets everybody out, all the people that didn't need to be there. Yeah, yeah. Goes in, gets his swimming shorts on, comes out, makes a drink, and hangs out with him. He's like, well, if everybody's here, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I might as well join. But yeah, he never, I never had to have those like uh real I don't know. You know, dudes are like, Do you ever try to fight your dad? Oh, yeah. I'm like, no. Absolutely never.

SPEAKER_07 33:35

No, absolutely never. And my dad would never fight me.

SPEAKER_02 33:37

No, my dad wouldn't either, because I'd I've heard stories. And I saw a couple bar fights. You don't grow up playing bars and your dad knocked. You don't have a dad that can hold himself. Yeah. My dad knocked my ass out one time. I I knew he fought me.

SPEAKER_07 33:51

Yeah, I can I could see that.

SPEAKER_02 33:54

You have a punchable face. I was like, where is this going?

SPEAKER_06 33:58

See, I I was always smart enough. Like my my dad was always the one like if he snapped though, you never wanted that title, right? So, but my mom, on the other hand, I like my mom was like some it she'll should get under your skin. And especially like as a boy, like she would get a I was 16 and I thought I was big and bad, and somehow, dumber than a box of rocks to not remember my dad was home and called my mom a bitch. Oh not know my dad was behind me. Next thing I remember is I say the words and then I wake up on the floor and like the hand of God my mom is pissed at my dad. I told you not to hit him that hot. She's like a referee trying to keep him up from going from him going to the ground and pound.

SPEAKER_02 34:51

My grandparents all the day they trained and stuff, uh and my my dad so there was like kendo sticks, my dad, you know, jujitsu and all this different stuff. So it was like kendo sticks laying around, you know. And and you know, when you when you when you're a grandkid of their parents, right? You're their grandkid, you know, you're the you this very different relationship. Right.

SPEAKER_07 35:08

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_02 35:10

So then you know, my dad would be like, Yo, I want you to know, man, like this isn't the people I got. You know what I mean? Like that sweet say the same. That grand that grandmother that that that you that that's just so nice to you and let you eat that candy would throw the closest thing around her if we did something. And it could be a shoe, could be a fork, could be a kendo stick. Like, I think she actually she hit my dad. I don't know if he scared her or what. Are y'all playing foot? Do we gotta put we gotta put I stretched and I didn't realize I was about to go.

SPEAKER_07 35:39

Paul's like touching me and I don't know, something like that.

SPEAKER_02 35:42

He's been gone for a couple days from his wife. He's getting a little lonely over here.

SPEAKER_07 35:45

Like waking me up in the middle of the night.

SPEAKER_06 35:47

I actually don't it's we're weird. I can't sleep as good without all the chaos around.

SPEAKER_02 35:51

So is that why you stand above people naked? That's weird as a people out.

SPEAKER_07 35:57

I don't play tag? Yeah, yeah. I was like, apologies that cause a little chaos. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 36:03

Oh, it's like it's like it's like when you were a kid, this happened to me. Kira did this to me one time as a house, dude, and I've I remember vividly remember my dad telling me, like, I when I would sleep while I was a kid, but I wouldn't wake him up. I just get this close to his face and stare at him. Oh my god. While he's dead asleep. So then he gets the fear. Keep in mind my dad was a paramedic firefighter for a very long time who had severe PTSD and couldn't hardly sleep some nights. So he wakes up in a trail inside a dark trailer on ten and a half acres with just his face, nose to nose to him, right? So I'll damn near give him a heart attack. He screams, he said I would scream, go run. And so my dad's like trying to catch himself, but trying to console me. You know what I mean? So you're like, ah, dad's like, yeah, me too. What are you doing? Dad's like freaking stuff. Yeah, dad's like, we neither one of us would be in this scenario if you would just touch a young poke me or something. They don't stare at me, bro. I'm laying on the couch. One time I fell asleep and Kira got not feeling good, I guess, bro. I I woke up, dude, and hurt her face, but her hair is down too, so you can't tell.

SPEAKER_07 37:14

It's like out of the ring.

SPEAKER_02 37:15

Bro, I'm telling you, yes, I'm telling you right now, as men, we're always like, someone come in my house when I'm asleep. First thing I'll do, man, pow, they're stuck. I'm gonna grab my gun, pow, pow, pow, pow. Everybody done. Let me tell you this right now, bro. I froze. Right. Froze. They could have got me, they could have killed me, they could have kissed me. I don't know what was happening. I didn't know who it was for a second, dude. But I just, I'm like, look at it, and she was, and I realize it's hurting. I'm like, and all I could think about was, oh, I'm that age. I'm now my dad, you know? And Carrie's like, my stomach hurts. I'm like, okay, babe, well, let's just fix that. Okay. She's like, You good? I'm like, yeah, we'll talk later. Don't we? Yeah, I'll tell you tomorrow.

SPEAKER_07 37:54

SPEAKER_06 38:12

My 60-month-old daughter will like try and wake my wife up. And if she can't, she'll literally just stand up and just fucking flop her past and just bounce on my head.

SPEAKER_05 38:24

Hazley does the same. So she would come up and she goes, jump on you.

SPEAKER_02 38:29

It's already them, it's alright, it's already them uh oh yeah, yeah, setting their dominance on you. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 38:35

SPEAKER_02 38:46

Bro, you have any idea how yeah. You have any idea how little how hard it is for her to walk down those hallways though?

SPEAKER_05 38:52

SPEAKER_06 38:59

Pick up my daughter, throw her in the air. Christian's like, do me. I'm like, bro, you're like you're half my size and weight.

SPEAKER_02 39:05

Hence why I got this pinched nerve in my shoulder, dude.

SPEAKER_02 39:12

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 39:13

Well, but it's not like throwing them once or twice, it's over.

SPEAKER_02 39:16

Well, no, and like Christmas time, dude, at Drina's family, there's a lot of little cousins running around, they're all around the same age, too. So last Christmas, apparently they wanted it to be a tradition. The tradition lasted one year. So a year before, they were all way tinier than they are right now. Yeah. And I came hot off the plane right into, you know, right into our family, yeah, right into the thick of the family event. You know, they'd been doing the gifts and everything already. And I walk right in, and Kira's like, hey, come throw me. And then next thing you know, you know, there's like nine cousins, you know, of all different sizes. My good, my good.

Now helping number 37. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:50

I look at her, brother, my marking, I can't throw you. I'm just kidding. No, yeah, so I'm just throwing. And it was like 45 minutes later that I started feeling this pinch. Oh. I'm like, oh no. And then like an hour and a half later, I'm like walking like the hunchback in Notre Dame. And Dream's like, we could call the chiropractor. I'm like, I'm not calling this man on Christmas. You know what I mean? Like around the holidays. Hey, well, you can pop my back in, but I I wanted to so bad. Oh God.

SPEAKER_07 40:20

I actually had the same thing going on in my left arm. I don't know why.

SPEAKER_02 40:23

Minds in my right arm.

SPEAKER_05 40:25

So because we got one of each arm. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 40:29

Together. Together. We can make it happen.

SPEAKER_06 40:56

You ever try to paddle with one arm, though? It's not very easy. You definitely need to.

SPEAKER_02 40:59

No, no. I try to utilize both. And most things if I need to.

SPEAKER_06 41:04

A lot of people have like uh houses there just for fly fishing, that type of stuff. So, but um during January, it's a little bit of a slow season because it's obviously January, people are kicking the year off, still in their resolution. It's cold as shit. And it's cold as shit. They're at the gym. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. They uh so Tim wanted to do something where we were uh able to raise money for EMS. Um if y'all could go check out Tim Montana, there's a whole story that he he can explain. It's very in detail, and I'll mess it up trying to explain it. So it pretty much we're there to raise money for EMS. First responders are very close to my family. All my family first responders, my dad was paramedic firefighter, my uncle. I mean, uh list goes on. So um anytime I can do anything with music, and uh one of the big things that we want to do here on Offstage America is show support and love to our first responders and veterans and stuff. So uh kind of it's been crazy. A lot of stuff kind of fell at our feet for January, and so um we're gonna be doing a little geese hunt, and then I'm gonna go to Montana, raise some money for EMS and show y'all Wise River. It'll be me, my buddy Danny Wardstomp from uh Asking Alexandria, Tim, Montana. Uh so show sold out in like minutes. Um so we might do two nights. I don't know.
