Like, what do you think as far as let's just say fighting then? Who do you think is better fighters? Country niggas or city niggas? I'm not even gonna say anyone's a better fighter, but niggas is stronger in the country. Yeah. For sure. Some motherfuckers lifting bales of hay and shit. All day, every day, man. For sure, for sure. I mean, I think it's a lot of city dudes that can throw hands, but they be shooting, exactly, but look, see, first. But we got a different principle behind it. See, we'll go and catch our one, you know what I'm saying? Just because, like, we have a di how many times growing up, you just have a disagreement or something with your cousin. And we throw the gloves and we just go outside. Them little 130-pound niggas ain't sh ain't fighting. Exactly. They not fighting, bro. They not fighting. So I think overall, would you fight? Would you fight though? If you was five, six. You talking about city dudes now.

Would you fight? If you was five, six, 130 pounds. I mean, I gotta, you know what I'm saying? I'm lying hearted, nigga, so I would still fight. But but with that being said, I just feel like overall, you know what I'm saying, a a country nigga. I feel like country niggas got city niggas beat in a lot of aspects. Not just for fighting. Like a country nigga. Working wise. We fight. We can fix shit. Yeah, working wise. We fuck. We we do it. We do it. And look. Look, we do it, we do it all, man. Like, uh uh, look, a country dude, bro. Like, I feel like we we cover all avenues, bruh. Like, nah, for sure. And a lot of dudes, it's a dude going viral online right now, bruh. Him, he in the car with his girl and she got a flat tire. And he said, man, I'm not going out there to change it. We're gonna call, we're gonna call triple A. Well, if they did, but look, dude, look, not only, not only did he say I was gonna call Triple A, look, a country dude pulls up to change the tire phase. But look, look, look, no, no, no, no, no. He pulled up to change the tire to help him out. Yeah. He said no because he didn't want to feel emasculated in front of his girl. So he rather turn it down and pay. You know what I'm saying? And that's not to say that, that's not to say city dudes. That's not to say the city dudes can't um, you know what I'm saying, change tires and shit like that. But I'm just saying most country dudes that come pre-installed from the factory. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, like that just come that's just shit that we do. It's not even just change tires, it's just like it's it's like working with your hands. Like working with the hands. For sure, man. But and look, welcome back to Facts and Foolishness. I'm your host, Tyler Coleman. This is my co-host, Ashton Carter. Um, thank you guys so much for tuning in to the to the podcast, listening, uh, whether you're streaming it or whether you're actually going to YouTube and watching the videos.

Um, I think we got a we got a we got a pretty fun one tonight, you know. We got a pretty fun topic, you know. We want to kind of keep the flow of the country shit going. Um, so tonight the topic I kind of want to talk about what is just like growing up in the country, like we didn't we've seen a lot of shit, we've done a lot of shit. My question to you is what's the most country shit that you've had to do coming up? That you even even the most country shit that you've seen. You know what I'm saying? Like I done seen some country shit, man. I done seen old Calvin get get a D DWI or a D D UI on a Limewell. Oh man. You know what I'm saying? I didn't chase bulls, chase cows. No bullshit, no bullshit. We had a little pond at the bottom of the field. They was like, look, don't go in there. Crocodile's in there. Mm-hmm. They want a crocodile in there. Yeah, but they would say, yeah, they would just say you out of it. Try and keep us away from that shit. But I mean, what do you want to go at? I I can say all day long. Country shit, like like what? Like, I don't know. Shit and buckets? What? Man, what? Shit in buckets, man. Hey. I'm not gonna say, yeah, I'm not gonna say shit that shit in the buckets, but definitely one of them had to be shitting outside for sure, man. I'd rather shit outside. For real. I'd rather shit outside. I'd rather shit outside. Hey, look, you like to be one with nature. Yeah, I feel free. Did you did you dig a hole or you just went and just dropped it on top of the grass? I dropped that motherfucker on top of the leaves, and whoever whoever stepped in that shit, step in that shit. Hold on, hold on, hold on. So did somebody dig a hole outside. But did somebody ever step in your shit that you shut shit in outside? I hope not. I hope not, nigga. I remember one time. I remember uh I remember one time I went, man, and uh my grandma made us go outside. She made us shit outside. I don't even remember what the reason and for teach y'all lessons. Yeah, probably something stupid that didn't even make sense. But uh niggas y'all niggas was acting spoiled. Love she was like, I'm gonna show y'all. Don't use that, don't use look. That's when they called it the commode. Don't go back and use the commode. The commode, that's another word for toilet, nigga. For real? You never heard that? You from the country? Commode? The commode nigga. That's another term for toilet. I heard shit. Man, anyway, look. She made me go outside. So I remember it. This is like the first time I ever shit outside, man. This was new to me. Nigga was scared, but go shit outside of this. So I look, I look, I scoped the yard out. I scoped the yard out. Look, I wanted to find I wanted to find a nice quiet spot. Look, I went between um I went on shit outside. I went on the left side of the house. I was young. I think I was like, I think I was like kindergarten, something like that. I don't know. But I went over uh to my granddaddy's house. I was at my granddaddy's house, but on the side of the house. But look, on the side of the house, look, I went in between the two. Look, I went in between the low boy and the log trailer. And uh for y'all that don't know, the low boy is just like it's a trailer that you can haul like heavy equipment and shit on. So it was two tractor trailer trailers. Look, I'm in between that bitch holding on, like almost fell back in it. Man, what? But after that, look, like you said, man, I loved it. But I one of the um my brother rather shit outside. That nigga only won shit. And then when he took shit outside, he would run in the house, take a shower. But what? But I'm gonna say that's one that you know what I'm saying. Anybody could go through that. I feel like more, more so country niggas had to do shit like that. We had to go out, use the bathroom outside and shit. You know what I'm saying? Like city niggas, like you're not just shitting. I wouldn't say too many people around to really shit outside. But say, I mean, we might, I mean, I think I think I think we could fight better than them niggas. I think we're going back to the fighting. I think we stronger than them niggas. I wouldn't say we better than anybody. We're stronger in the sense of we can use our hands more than them niggas can. That's what that's what I would say. For sure. But not only, not only per capita or whatever the fuck is. But not only like from a fighting and using our hands better standpoint, bro. In every aspect. Yeah. Because I mean, overall, I just think, you know what I'm saying, you get more with a country dude because I I can I personally know city dudes that, you know, saying, like I just said, can't change the tire, that that can't do shit around the house, they don't cut their own grass, they can't now. That's not uh look, that's not to get it confused because we know a lot of country motherfuckers that's from the country that ain't country, you know what I'm saying? They done moved from the country and oh them pose, oh, them poser ass names. Yeah, we it's a lot of them, so we can't just sit here and say, you know what I'm saying, that oh, country niggas are better in every aspect. Nah, we we ain't talking about that at all, man. But I just think you know, overall, I think you know what I'm saying. You get a you get a full a total package when you get you a good good southern dude, and not even fighting or none of that shit, bro. Just using the hands, we can also not even just using the hand. Look at our mindset. We got different values from the country, too. Like it's different shit that's instilled in us, it's slower out here, you know what I'm saying? Is yeah, and we're we're taught different shit. We're taught morals, we taught respect. And I'm not gonna say they're not taught that neither. I'm not gonna say they're not taught. But you know, but that's why they got a term called southern hospitality. You know what I'm saying? Our hospitality is just a little bit different, you know what I'm saying? Our lingo is different, the way we move is different, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Even even the way we walk, the way we talk, you know what I'm saying? We got a little growl behind us when we talk, huh? You know what I'm saying? So a little pep in the stuff, you know. But I also look, I want to say, I'm gonna bring this up, and I don't know if a lot of people I was just talking with Copperhead about this the other day, and Greg was out there too, man. Shout out Greg, Greg Carter. Oh one of the big homie, yes sir. But look, one of the one of the most country things I ever did or used to do, we used to eat dirt. I know I heard like we really eat that shit. I was like, what the fuck? But look, and I never said the first time. I don't care. Uh but I feel like hornstarch. Yeah, like but I feel like it was more so like maybe that was from like my Indian side, you know what I'm saying? Maybe that came from my Native American side. But but this is the craziest it was by habit. It won't, yeah, yeah. No, but no, we didn't have to. Let me clarify, we didn't have to eat the dirt, but it was almost kind of like a delicacy, maybe, you know what I'm saying? In niggas' terms, yeah. But I remember look, my granddaddy used to have cows, right? I seen them Africans on Discovery Channel eating the dirt. Yeah, but look, my granddaddy used to have cows. Yeah, but he had cows, and there's a little cutout. Was it red clay? Yeah, basically, it's red dirt. Holy shit. But uh, it's a little, it's a little cutout where the where the cows couldn't get to. Nigga, we was poor, but nigga, we eat dirt, man. But it was a little cutout where the uh where the um you gotta be hungry to eat some fucking dirt, man. Let me get my let me finish my bad, my bad, my bad. So it was a little cutout where the cows couldn't get to. Look, grandma used to hand me a plastic bag and a spoon. Go get that dirt. She said, look, go in that cut. Look, make sure you go up in the cut and watch for snakes. Look, scrape some of that shit off in a bag. Look. Y'all niggas skimming past the watch out for snakes. And we go in the look, look, look, we go in the jail. Look, I scrape out, scrape out a bag full of dirt. Look. And um please explain. We go in the to my bad, my bad. I keep cutting you off, my bad. No, no, you're good. Explain to motherfuckers why, because people don't know. Like, that's actually a thing. So, first of all, let me say I don't know how the dirt eating started. From Africa. It came from Africa. Maybe it came from Africa. I don't think it just came from Africa neither. I think it came from my Native American side. Indians used to do that shit too. Indians ain't do that. So I think it came from Africa. I see Africa. But I think it wasn't like dirt. Like you didn't have nothing else to eat. It's not like we were eating dirt. Shut the fuck up. I ain't eat it. So it's not like we was eating dirt just to eat dirt. I think it was more so like a little delicacy. It's not like we went in there and we was just eating dirt every day. But you know what I'm saying? It's just one of them things that like I, you know what I'm saying? I just saw my grandma doing. I don't know where it came from, but I'm just saying, I feel like that may be from like my native side. You know, maybe they used to do that. But yeah, my grandma used to give us a spoon. I guarantee you, grandma probably still in the cabinet to this day, probably got a little bag. But you get the you get the red clay. Her daughter over there, like mama, stop look shut up. But look, I've been eating dirt, but look, uh, you fill out your bag fill the bag up with the dirt, look, and you take the spoon, look, tablespoon, look, bust them up like dope. Look, then you stick finger in there, look. Whole dope. This is a whole dope, it's a whole fucking drug fucking traffic. That motherfucker blocked that by the biggest. Yeah, I think that's probably the most country shit. These niggas selling eight balls of motherfucking dirt. Red clay, look. And that shit go for $25 a bottle. Look. Oh, look, I was the best dirt getter out there. Look, best dirt getter. Yeah, man. Look, best dirt get get her off of Wolf O Road, man. Nah, but for Shout out Wolf O Road, by the way. For real. It's a whole thing when motherfuckers eat there. It's a black thing. It really is a black thing. I've definitely heard about it. Yeah, man. But no, this nigga wasn't. I'm gonna get copy here and tell you about it, man. That's a real shit. They did that. They did that. Yeah, man. But look, just to just to keep that shit going, man. Tell me, you know, I want to uh let's finish this topic up and then this is where we're gonna close out at. But what was what was your worst punishment that you ever had growing up? Like getting your ass whooped or just whatever type of punishment was your worst growing up in the country. Man, I remember back in the country, nigga, down the lane. I accidentally, I was uh, I seen Sterling, shot Sterling, man. Little Curr. I seen Sterling came to the house with a cap gun, look. Little cap gun, look. I said, man, I got one in the house, man. I ran the, I did have one in the house. I ran in the house trying to find it. Look. I found my brother uh lighter, JR, rest in peace. Look. He had a uh zip, uh, what's it called? Zipco lighter. I struck that bitch, look. I know where I know what you get. Through that motherfucker, look, I I thought it was gonna go out, look. This back in nine, nigga. I won't even in school yet. Through that bitch behind me, look, whole whole whole room caught on fire. Man, fire truck, everybody came, they put it out, whatever. Man, soon I got my ass whooped by my mama. Soon my dad got home. This motherfucker whooped my ass with a time belt off a car. Beat the life out of me, bro. I felt like I was in the motherfucking slave movie. This motherfucker beat the life out of me, bro. I burnt the I burnt the I burnt the room down. Ain't play with them matches no more, cuz. Or them lighters no more. Yeah, man. I thought it was gonna go out. It was a zip code, like they don't go out until you close the drone. What about you? But I got my ass whooped so many times. Um I think the worst one I I know, I know. The worst beating I ever got, we was at my grandma's house. Once again, shout out Wolf Ark Road. But uh, I was at my grandma's house and I was just playing basketball, minding my own business. Look, my sister came out there just fucking with me. And she took the basketball from me. And my sister was faster than me. She was faster, you know what I'm saying? She knows. Yeah, she was faster than me, and she we she used to whoop my ass. Yeah, my sister. She thought she used to whoop my ass. I'm not gonna hold you, look. No bullshit. So look, she took the ball from me and I started tripping out there. And she threw it. Look, she gave it back because I'm telling her, like, give me the ball, give me the ball. Look, she threw it at me and hit me in the diaphragm. Look, dropped me to my knee, okay. Look, she could have hit you with an up here. But look, it's almost like God wanted me to teach her that lesson because when I dropped to my knee, look, it was the perfect size rock, about baseball size, sitting right beside my knee. Look, she took off running because she knew I couldn't catch her. I picked that same rock up, look. Look, I picked that rock up and I lobbed it. I didn't beam it at her, but I lobbed it. That bitch went straight up and she came straight down, all one motion. When that bitch hit her in the back of the head, look, it carried. Look, the rock carried her a little bit. It hit her in the back of the head and she went forward. Look. And that's where she laid. Look. And then by that time, bruh, by that time, my grandma came outside, and this is where this is how crazy it is out there. This is where it gets dark. But look, my grandma came out there, and I knew to stay away because I knew she was gonna put her hands on me. And start crying, great things. So she was like, that's alright. You gotta come in this house sooner or later. And if y'all don't know, look, Wolf Road get dark than a bitch, bro. It gets dark at night. So look, I stayed out, and you better get in the house because it's a lot of shit that be coming out and be moving around there. So first of all, look, I tried to thug it out. It started getting a little cool. Nigga think he's hard. Look, all his friends start going inside later. Look, everybody started going in the house, look. So it got dark, and I thugged it out as long as I could, but I said, bro, I gotta get in the house, bro. So look, I go in the house, and uh I go in the house when I get through the door, that bitch closed behind me. I didn't even close that. I didn't even close it. The door closed behind me. She was waiting behind the door. She could so meticulous with it. She was my grandma was waiting behind the door. What's the name? Uh my my grandma. Evelyn, my grandma Evelyn. Yeah, she was waiting behind the door. That joint shut behind me. Evelyn moving like I didn't even hear a thing. Evelyn moving like secret. I didn't hear a thing. Look, the door shut behind me and she dove on me, cuz look, beat me, bruh. She whooped me so bad, bro. And then what makes it so bad? She had already called mom. She done already called mom and told her what happened. You told her to do it, nigga. She nah. She she called mom and told her what happened. Then when mom got home, look, mom whooped me too. Bro, I got beat for the same shit twice, bro. Good looks, bro. Twice is different. I'm trying to tell you, man. But yeah, that was I never heard a thing, nigga. Look, I opened the screen door. Because this is look, this is back when we had the you know say you got the porches and shit. So you got a screen door, and then you got your main door. So I opened the screen door. Look, that bitch creaking. Look, I'm trying to, I'm trying to ease it, I'm trying to ease it open. Look, scale up. Look, everything dark in here. Everything dark. It wasn't usually like that, though. It usually TV on the kitchen opening stuff. But I'd rather have dealt. Look, but I'd rather have dealt with what was what was in the house versus dealing with that shit outdoors. Bears and robbing dogs and all types of shit, bro. Like, I don't know, grandma. You probably just stayed outside, nigga. Grandma put licks on me because bears and the coyotes ain't got nothing on her. My grandma, look, she ambushed you, nigga. And not even just that time. Look, my grandma couldn't, she couldn't, she couldn't catch me and my sister, right? When we were younger, caught you hunting that dope. Look, she couldn't catch me and my sister when we was younger. So look, it was a you had like an island in the kitchen, and we used to just run around through the kitchen to the living room. Just and she couldn't catch us. Look, she would bribe the other one. You want a piece of candy? You want you go that way and catch her. You go that way and catch her. Look, I'm look, I see I already put it. I pick up the play. Look, my sister come around, look, I'm dropping shoulder. Look, get the fucking look. Get the fucking out of the shit. I'll try to tell you, but like growing up in the country was different. It was different values. It was different. But I thank God for all the ass whoopings, though. But for real, nigga, like, man, I used to do some crazy shit, man. Me and my sister, man, we used to chase fucking bulls. We used to chase, and I did, I actually did that shit as I got older too, man. I did it one time. I was drunk in the motherfucking uh in the country, man. Chelsea Lavana house. Man, I was drunk at that bitch, man. I ended up chasing a bull. I thought it was a cow. That motherfucker started running from me, cuz. Oh man, you ran a bull off. Man, I ran a bull off, man. I seen all his all his girlfriends, cows, start getting behind him. I thought he was a cow. Look, that motherfucker started running from he had no horns or nothing, but man, I knew some shit in the country. You wouldn't try that with one of them Mexican bulls. Nah, I ain't say that. That motherfucker. I put gunner left. I could talk about the fucking country all day, bro. I even talk about look, getting off the school bus, look. That's a whole fucking pod. Look, getting off the school bus and walking in the kitchen, don't know what the fuck it is in the sink. Granddaddy looked, he'd have shot something. Whether it was a rabbit or a coon, a squirrel. All you see is a is meat skinned and meat sitting in that fucking salt going there. Soaking in some salt, man. But I could get I could get endless stories about the country, but I wouldn't change it for the world. You couldn't change, you couldn't take the country out of me to save my life. Life and I'm just gonna always be that. I'ma always be me. I'ma always talk, talk the way I talk. I'ma always walk the way I walk. My my mom, my mom from fucking New Jersey, she's from the city, man. And it's rough out that bitch. I don't like the city, man. The city moved too fast, man. It's too, it's too fast. The city's too fast. I mean, I feel like people in the south got more values. Not more value. I'm not even saying more values. This is you. People in the south got more values. That's what it is. And you just gotta be from the country to understand, bro. Because it's some people that will see our way of living and be like, bro, what's wrong with these niggas? These niggas is because you don't understand, you don't know it.
