Speaker 5: You got anywhere to be cool to roll for now? I got to be at Big Loud at eleven o’clock. All right, perfect, but that’s very it could be it’s loose to you. So here’s what I saw. I saw a truck pull up on the outside of a fence. Hang on, let I don’t understand the past drama. What’s the past internet? What past drama is? And correct me if I’m wrong here.

00:04:18
Speaker 1: That he that something happened where zach Brian didn’t sign something.

00:04:24
Speaker 2: For ah, that’s right, that’s right, or didn’t.

00:04:27
Speaker 1: Sign something right, And so the kid put him on blast on his socials and then zach Brian replied, like, you’re not entitled g O M D. Which ye get it off my disclaim. Yeah, my dis my my discord, that’s even get off my disc Well that’s so. Then Yahn, who’s known, who’s known to have ruffles and feathers, a loose jawn on it.

00:04:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, been in the I’m not even I’m not even hating.

00:05:01
Speaker 1: Some may say that I have that that’s the other guy that he don’t like Charlie Charlie cru he don’t like a lot And and I’ll be honest, all right with the guy. He means it, sure, he means it. He really you think so, like, I don’t know. I’ve never actually met him. I’ve only talked to him on the phone or texting with him and stuff. But you think you think he’s doing it for real? Yeah, I don’t think he’s I don’t think because a lot of people I don’t. Yeah, Well, theople are like, he knows what he’s doing when he’s doing stuff. Oh, he knows what he’s doing, but he’s still yes, and no he’s not.

00:05:36
Speaker 4: Yes.

00:05:37
Speaker 2: I don’t think because I mean, I’m telling you, I know, I know the guy.

00:05:41
Speaker 1: I know the guy. Okay, So fast forward. I guess there’s this event where they’re both at I guess Gavin had not played yet and was about to play. Is what I understood what from from his summary his thing? There’s two sides of the fence here, Hey, so bar bar fans, some jawing occurs, and then next thing I know, Yeah, what’s the name Zack Bryan. Zack Bryan is climbing the fence to get to a bar bar fance, not only just a barb one of the prison reverse fences where you got to like brou I don’t know how. I don’t even know how he did it. I don’t believe. I don’t think he takes it on if it’s thetfenses, don’t pissed.

00:06:30
Speaker 2: I don’t even know he was pissed. Was actually like I looked on it. I was like, I’m trying to see his fore arms to see if.

00:06:36
Speaker 1: He’d so look, let’s let’s throw out some redneck facts here that we all three are rednecks. We all three have been in fights or at least seeing So I won’t speak for you, guys, I know that I have, Uh how what what flags? What alarms went off in your brains as to who meant what they were saying or who was gonna win that fight? Was you like me to start? Yeah, you can start. I don’t know if I want to make I don’t. I think I’m gonna need to take my opinions public on either. You’re not going to take public I don’t think so, but I but I will say that the one thing I will say is that that dude crawled through a barbar fence.

00:07:21
Speaker 5: So all I’m saying is he had it nobody. I’ve never seen a video or whatever of Gavin fight, and I’ve never seen a video of that, so really we have no idea exactly. But the dude crawled through a barbar fence. He was ready, he was ready to roll.

00:07:36
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think they were both standing on the business basically.

00:07:42
Speaker 2: Think I think Gavin was too. But you saw Zach.

00:07:45
Speaker 1: I think I think you saw Zach stand on his because I mean, like, I mean, you could.

00:07:50
Speaker 3: Tell he was pissed and pushing the fence. And then you know, Gavin called him the word and uh, well here but here’s the word that like the comet never.

00:08:00
Speaker 1: Call a guy. Oh yeah, and then you just saw Zach go girl just he just went red. Well, I will say this, I according to Gavin, Zach was in the event all day. Now, that throws up a little different thing, like you could have you know, you could have fairned him. I think if you’re Zach Bryant looking for Gavin Atcock, I think you could have found it without offense between the two. And I will say this for Gavin’s sake. I feel like I’m talking about the whole thing, trying to get y’all to say stuff and you’re not going. But what I’m saying is I I myself, if I had to fight one of the two of them, I would pick Zack Brian over Gavin Atcock. I’m not saying who will win, because you know, I’ve seen little dudes whip up a little short, short, kind of tree stump dudes. I thought he looked stumpier than usual even in that. In that I kind of wish they did, just like I kind of wish.

00:08:58
Speaker 5: In Nissan Stadium for charity. Dude, just just I’m with that. I’d go watch it pay for a box.

00:09:12
Speaker 1: I don’t know about that because you never see, like you never see those videos where the guy jumps the fence and the security guards just get out of the way, and the two days rolling the gravel park. Yeah, you know, like you never don’t think he fought too hard to get out of the arms of that security guard. I’ll say that I’ll see some some go somebody and it’s different.

00:09:30
Speaker 5: They look like cam scatterboy, like you know what I mean, through the lines exactly impressive, impressive abuse from that guy.

00:09:37
Speaker 1: Hey man, we’ve got it about that. Sorry, let’s go that’s crazy. We’ve got a new member of the girl dad club. Congratulations. Uh dude, he’s a big deer killing Mississippi boy known to catch some slabs as well.

00:09:55
Speaker 1: We got the one and only hard back on Yeah round three three.

00:10:03
Speaker 5: Actually I was, I was, I was back in the back when y’all did it in Charlotte Park.

00:10:07
Speaker 1: I was, dude, dude, I remember. He was the only one we ever did over there. By the way, the reason we went over there was that Jacob Lutz lived over there and he had a perfect set set up, had four inputs so we could get through the guitar. How all right, let’s try to think about how long ago that was. I could tell I know that it was. It was.

00:10:25
Speaker 5: It had to have been twenty eighteen, because I think it was in the fall, and uh yeah, I had just put out this Old Boy and that’s.

00:11:20

00:12:49
Speaker 1: But she’s getting there.

00:12:50
Speaker 5: I mean, it’s we’re close, but she’s also I mean, it’s she is she is such a such an easy baby, like sleeping.

00:12:59
Speaker 1: Well, she’s awake, no, but that’s the only part.

00:13:02
Speaker 5: But but she’s we we sleep trained her this like past month, like really intense.

00:13:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:13:07

But uh but you know, as they say, you know how they I love the term like she she woke up finally, you know, she realized she was human and was like, yeah, what’s this terrible feeling of like you know, I want to go to bed? Yeah, but man, when she’s awake, I’m telling you, like she which is I feel like this is a pretty common baby thing somewhat, but like we we got really lucky with her. She doesn’t have any sort of like gas, gas strail or whatever, so she is like completely healthy. But she’s just happy and like you could put her in the middle of this floor and she could just entertain herself for like an hour.

00:13:55
Speaker 5: She’s just so content. It’s she’s never uncomfortable. It’s like she winds if she’s hungry or she’s tired, and that is literally it. Like she’s an easy baby for sure.

00:14:03
Speaker 1: That’s awesome. Dude, Yeah, we’re screwed for the for the rest, I don’t we were talking about that a little bit ready.

00:14:08

00:14:13
Speaker 1: It’s just it’s like this perfect little thing, and I just.

00:14:16
Speaker 5: Know we’re gonna have another one and they’re gonna be a freaking brat or something. You know, it’s just gonna be a lot harder, and we’re gonna have you know, having one kid is easy.

00:14:25
Speaker 1: I don’t care what anybody says, like.

00:14:26
Speaker 5: And we don’t have help, like we don’t have a nanny or nothing, like we’re we’re doing We’re doing everything, you know, just us and uh but man, I can’t imagine having you know, one that’s you know, pooping in their diaper and then the other ones, you know, running around and do it.

00:14:40
Speaker 1: I don’t know. I just and your wife’s getting her nails done while that’s happened. Oh man, I can’t. Yeah, uh, you know, man, it seems like the good ones do this. Seems like the good baby ones they get you at three, dude. Oh really yeah, It’s like they wait to.

00:14:54
Speaker 3: Turn the attitude on, They wait to their three, and then they’re a three major and they know everything.

00:14:58
Speaker 1: They’re really smart. One they’re young. Oh she’s so smart, and then she starts manipulating you when you’re when she’s three, and she a girl, a girl, A little girl can too, right, dude, my little girl’s got, he’s got, she’s got. I mean I remember people telling me this, and it’s the truth. Bro. You just don’t know until you’re in it. There’s no way for me to tell you what threes we have three now, and there’s no way for anyone to prepare you for anything. So for me, it’s just fun to sit back and listen to how good she is. Now you’re just sort of rubbing your hands together. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, which all parents do. I mean, we we talk a lot about kids on this on this thing, but uh like.

00:15:39
Speaker 3: Because it’s all we do, man, I mean, we we parent, and we write songs and we and we try.

00:15:43
Speaker 1: To hunt sometimes.

00:15:44
Speaker 5: Dude, I feel like it’s only been six months for me, but it’s like your life.

00:15:55
Speaker 1: Eighteen are going down. It’s a good one. They’re taking as his prep platch.

00:16:01
Speaker 5: He’s breaking down out there, but it just seems like your life is just like you just find time to do what you want to do now, because it’s just not about I mean it literally, it’s just it’s not about you. Every single thing, from like literally from like what I noticed this other day, it’s like do I have time to go take a leak? All the way to like how many shows should I play next year? Everything in between, it all literally all around having.

00:16:23
Speaker 1: A little kid. It’s crazy. Yeah, you’re you’re speaking. And I think the thing that like awoken in me was like assuming that my life before them had been about me, right, Like all of a sudden, I realized like, oh, all this work, everything I’ve ever been doing was never for me to prove myself to myself. It was all for them. Yeah, like you completely just remove yourself from from all of that. Man, It’s just it’s just ain’t a by you anymore. Man. Beth tell me one time we were I was over at this place, right and he was like, so he’s like, come on, man, like I think we had just had Griffin, like our first one was like all right, like when’s the number two, Like let’s go, And I was like, hey, man, pumped the breaks man. I was like, I was like, we gotta take a break, He’s like, were you talking about you gotta well. I was like, I don’t even know if we’re gonna He’s like, no, you are, he said, he said. And the reason he said, what else are you gonna go back to living? For you? You’re already in you already jumped off the diamond. Uh huh yeah, yeah, you’re plan now. Yeah.

00:17:20
Speaker 2: Just go man, It’s so true, you know.

00:17:21
Speaker 5: And we were talking about this too, like my mom uh has two two older brothers uh and they are both somewhere along the lines of sixteen and seventeen years older than her and now given like this was like kind of like my grandmother’s like second life a little bit like in a way where like she kind of did it and then started over. But it was cool because she always wanted a little girl and it was like special.

00:17:45
Speaker 1: YadA, YadA, YadA.

00:17:46
Speaker 5: But man, you know, we’ve always talked about how some of these people have like the big like whoopsie daisy, you know, like seven years, eight years, and it’s like I could not imagine because it’s like I’m like, you guys, like do them do them while you’re still in that phase of like you have to take care of the kid. Because it’s like, I feel like you get more way more comfortable when your kid is like completely competent, and then you have to start back over.

00:18:08
Speaker 1: You know, dude, I was told to never quit changing dippers. Yeah, like that’s that’s great.

00:18:12
Speaker 3: How how many kids you want to continue to change dippers because you’re already in the And that’s the thing. It’s like, it’s normal, it’s normal. It’s been normal for three years, right, So.

00:18:20
Speaker 2: Like you don’t want to have to readjust to it.

00:18:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don’t want to spend five years out of it and then get back to I took out a grabbed a dip propel this morning and about I mean, the first first baby, I’d have puked everywhere.

00:18:32
Speaker 1: But now it’s just like I’ll borrow this from a friend of mine. But now I feel like I could change the diaper and eat a sandwich at the same time. That’s awesome. All Right, I’m gonna trip you out real quick on one thing and then we’ll get off this kid stuff. So my dad, who’s now fixing me seventy I asked him one time, I said, Okay, of your memories, it’s kind of hard to explain, And I said it on this thing. But just this is for your brain. So if you take one hundred percent of your memories right you’re seventy how much of your memory bank is taken up by memories of your kids? Oh my gosh. And he goes ninety nine percent of it. That’s amazing. And I said, okay, so that out of your entire like out of that memory bank. What percentage of your memories before you had kids take of that bank? He was like two percent. So think about your entire life so far that you have lived, and by the time you get to seventy one, you’ll remember one percent.

00:19:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, dude, especially like you know, I don’t know, I fully believe it. It’s like, but it’s like, all we’ve got to do some pretty cool stuff. Man, it’s not gonna matter. Yeah, and we’re young, even I’m way to seventy right now. Yeah, that’s crazy, That’s what I’m saying.

00:19:51
Speaker 1: Man, it was nuts.

00:19:52
Speaker 2: He was like, and honestly, you don’t start living until you have kids.

00:19:56
Speaker 5: Well, I mean it’s dude, it’s this whole serendipitous like it is the reason that we are here.

00:20:00
Speaker 1: Sure not and definitely, you know, depending on what you believe. But but but.

00:20:06
Speaker 5: If you if you split religion and your you know, and and yeah, yeah, by laws of nature, the reason that we are here is to have children. And thankfully as humans we have a little bit extra special free wheel sauce and stuff where we get to like actually raise our kids and it means something. And that’s like the most special thing. I mean, it’s the most amazing thing in the world.

00:20:23
Speaker 1: Is the most amazing thing in the world, and you can’t really feel it until you’re in it, and then you go, oh, okay ok.

00:20:30
Speaker 3: And I think part of the reason it’s feel amazing is is because it’s so tough, it’s so challenging, and just it’s just the reward is yeah, therefore rewarding.

00:20:37
Speaker 1: Yeah. Can I talk about rolling up on y’all at that place when quickly so I roll up to meet them in a spot. When I do, my kids jump out of the truck and they’re running and their kids come out of the barn at the place where we were at, no shirts on, no shoes, dirt and they’re running down the hill and they’re like, and was like, don’t hug ok, don’t hug hugged him and we ended up taking bottles of water at the end of that day and like water following him onto his kids with wipes and just literally slipped him completely neckd and just wiped them all the way down. I mean, it’s just it’s just part of it. Like you’re just gonna have there’s gonna be dirt and everywhere those days like that’s that’s hot, it’s hall it’s hard. Those times are hard, pouring water and wiping him and there’s flying everywhere, and and cow manure and you know all that, But like those are the times you talk about, Like those are the times. Man. I remember that day, like memory bank man that just kicked out a gig I played and and Thatsissippi, you know what I mean, It’s so weird, but that’s I remember that was so funny. They came out and they just looked they’d just been rolling and literally literally all right was getting the what you’re mad at? Oh shoots glad at this morning? Man?

Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, this is so out of character for you, Like all I wanted to do was talk to my wife and my birthday. Like you couldn’t even answer the phone for the second you say, was like I don’t know what to say. I’m just sorry, and I’m like, you’re making it worse. You’re making it worse because you don’t know what to say. You don’t even care. Yeah, so I felt you know that I know what to say next time. So that’s a that’s a mad and glass. That’s how good did you feel seeing that baby when you walked in? Man, she had a little dress thing on and said like daddy’s little girl. I just you know that’s good? All right? I am glad at joint to this morning, driving down the road as fast as we possibly can to get here relatively close to on time. We were going to be close to on time. And jumps read’s WHI hits us on text? And I can tell she’s voice texting because it didn’t really make a whole lot of sense. There wasn’t any punctuation, but basically all Peter said was feeder side of road before mall. So we’re like, okay, there’s a feeder on highways sixty is now so look we’re doing seventy miles now. I didn’t tell you the story outside that is unbelievable. So Red goes, I said, dude, Jordan just said there’s a feeder outside the road. But she said left side, which meant inside lane on sixty five which at coming north. Yeah, oh yeah, so you gotta do some oh yeah, some maneuvering for sure. And she said, she said, might not be feeder. Just saw my Yeah, she said something right, So the hell of the wife. By the way, she knows you. I mean my dad. I almost want if it wouldn’t take so much time, I would call dad. Just see you could hear.

00:26:00
Speaker 2: How excited I was proud of.

00:26:03
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I don’t know, dude, should we risk our lives for this feeder? Look at the damn traffic behind us. It wasn’t even like a grass media and it was just it was. It was on the inst I pulled tight to the media and I couldn’t open.

00:26:19
Speaker 2: So we’re driving. No legs though, just the drunk we got legs.

00:26:25
Speaker 1: So we’re driving.

00:26:26
Speaker 3: We’re getting closer, and and I’m like, man, and I started doing the thing. I started doing the pessimist like, it probably is not a feeder, man, It’s probably like a five gallon bucket or something. I love my wife and and she’s pretty good at that stuff. But like I was like, probably be in a fair and probably anymore our time.

00:26:40
Speaker 1: But just in case. We got in the left side and stayed on the left lane, just rolling down. You know, we pop over the hill. We pop over and I was like, I was like, dude, what if it’s like a boss bug or something. And Dan was like that’d be sick. And I was like, but it ain’t.

00:26:50
Speaker 3: We popped with a hill and and Dan’s like, there it is, and I was we were like.

00:26:56
Speaker 1: I was like, we’re not going to die over a feeder. It this is crazy. Read this boss and I was like cars Like. I was like, I just need a window to get out. Dam was so close to the to the median he couldn’t open his door. No, yeah, I mean you can see it. Yeah. I laid on a window, I hopped out, ran and got the thing. I mean, transfers are literally going by and making my truck go yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, all over a two hundred dollars feeder. I started filming and I was like, dude, I really don’t want to film mus dying right here so over a feeder. So I just I closed it up.

00:27:30
Speaker 3: I ran back there, grabbed it through in the bank of the truck, through a case of water in it, and we were rolling.

00:27:36
Speaker 1: I mean, bro in good shame, dude, that’s a two hundred and fifty dollars some guy got to freaking Kentucky is exactly throwing up right now and he’s like, wait, what the hell?

00:27:47
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:27:47
Speaker 1: Literally, we were like, that’s a guy going to Kentucky. He might listen to this podcast and if you appreciate you dog, if you do, man, thanks for not giving it. Yeah, brother, showing this heeral number. Yeah, we rolled up and Hardy was like, dude, he was like feeder in the back and everything. I was like, I ain’t even even like, let’s just wait. I didn’t even like consider that.

00:28:07
Speaker 5: I just, you know, since it was y’all, I just I don’t know, you know, I figured you might be going straight somewhere, you know, after this or something.

00:28:13
Speaker 1: To know. Man, we uh we risked our lives for two and a fifty dollars feet.

00:28:18
Speaker 2: Well, I’m not even mad, dude.

00:28:19
Speaker 6: No.

00:28:20
Speaker 5: I was listening to the Missisippi State podcast as I started in my own world, and it’s good for y’all.

00:28:24
Speaker 1: It’s a great story ball. Yeah, hey man, let’s talk about the game so far, dude. Wen we look okay, I.

00:28:30
Speaker 5: Think we’re I think we’re gonna be I think we’re gonna win at least seven games.

00:28:34
Speaker 1: Man, I think we’re gonna start. I think we’re going to go into Tennessee at home four and oh that the Arizona State game was unbelievable. Actually cried. I cried. I cried, man, because you guys, know when did you start crying when it pass the slant? No, when we when we intercepted, when I knew that we won, because you.

00:28:53
Speaker 5: Know, they still had they had time whatever twenty sacon, ten seconds whatever it was.

00:28:57
Speaker 1: You never need time of start war. Yeah, you got that all right, But dude.

00:29:02
Speaker 5: Because here’s the deal and what people, you know, people are like, like Dirk’s texted me and was like because he’s a su guy, you know, and he was like storing the field and beating the number twelve school and I was like, man, listen. Arguably well not really because Dan we had Dan Mullen, but we had Mike Leach who the year he died, we went nine and four, okay in the SEC West before it before it was consolidated, and that was an incredibly difficult.

00:29:30
Speaker 2: Was the key l s u yeh a and m I mean, it’s just a whole miss.

00:29:35
Speaker 1: Uh no, not so hard. But anyway, all that being said, we won nine games.

00:29:41
Speaker 5: Uh we were we were doing this with Leach and uh he dies, he suddenly dies.

00:29:47
Speaker 1: Uh and then we never bounce back from that.

00:29:50
Speaker 5: We hire our net, we don’t win any games, and then we we hired uh Levy and we went two games.

00:29:56
Speaker 1: Last year. Beating Southern Miss was a.

00:29:59
Speaker 5: Big deal because, uh, they they brought pretty much their entire conference winning team from Marshall, so we knew that there was a bunch of good players at Southern Miss. But winning this game was the most important win, what I think, in our entire program’s history. Because you lose that game, especially if you lose that game close, you lose your fan base.

00:30:24
Speaker 1: They quit tailgating. I saw it happen with Joe Morehead.

00:30:27
Speaker 5: People stopped coming to games, People stop caring, And dude, what three or four losing seasons.

00:30:32
Speaker 1: In a row. Turn to Virginia, you lose, you turn into a Virginia Tech firing their coach, getting beat by Delaware and start all over and that’s like five. It’s hard, takes years, it takes years, but you win that game, and the way that you the way that we won that game, which was kind of not a miracle, but it was. It was.

00:30:50
Speaker 5: It was a miracle miracle, and we stormed the field and now there’s a buzz again. And I’m telling you, you cannot convince me that those players don’t hold on like you don’t. You don’t lose that game and then go win like three or four sec games after that, like you that it was. It was such an important win and everybody’s fired up again for the first time.

00:31:08
Speaker 1: Since Dak I mean a long time. Yeah, since since we hired Leach and everybody was like, oh, we’re gonna be all right, and we won that. Yeah, it was. It was a monumental. So people don’t realize what that stood for.

00:31:24
Speaker 5: It was more than just beating a top twelve team, like it was massive for our program.

00:31:28
Speaker 1: Is there any chance of us being like actually ranked? I think we will be going into Tennessee? Yeah?

00:31:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, if we if we whip up, yeah, we got him at home, dude.

00:31:40
Speaker 1: And I will tell you another thing, you know.

00:31:42
Speaker 5: I was thinking about this the other day because Cali was like, why is that she went ole miss but she was like, why is that even legal?

00:31:47
Speaker 1: With cow bells?

00:31:47
Speaker 5: And I was like, I don’t know, because you know, it is a major Uh, it’s a it’s a major distractor towards uh, your opposing team’s offense.

00:31:57
Speaker 1: And they’re already there.

00:32:00
Speaker 3: Everybody that comes to play and Startville two the week before you can see you watch videos, they’re always showing them.

00:32:05
Speaker 1: Everybody. Everybody’s walking around to you. Don’t make a difference. You get sixty thousand people in there. You you can hear him trying to He’s like, yes, they were, And then that just makes it, you know what I mean. And your buddy’s picking on you, and you get mad. What’s your boddy gonna do? Pick on you more? You know what I mean? You know it’s funny too because there’s so many people, uh, I mean everybody.

00:32:30
Speaker 5: If you’re not a State fan, that’s like I hate them. I hate the way they sound, But man, I could be. You can have a guy over here ringing one in the corner of this entire podcast and I wouldn’t even hear it, Like it wouldn’t.

00:32:40
Speaker 1: You go to sleep.

00:32:42
Speaker 2: It’s the best, dude, It’s just the best.

00:32:44
Speaker 1: It is the best. You already got a little baby cow bell for your little girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so, uh, we have. So she has received some from other people, but I’ve always said, like I want we’re keeping them like put away because I want when she’s old enough to finally, you know one and kind of somewhat know what she’s doing. Maybe called two years old.

00:33:02
Speaker 5: Bro, it’s a I want to be the first one to actually gift her and give her her first cow bell.

00:33:06
Speaker 1: But she’s got something in the corner. But yeah, it’s a ride of pass? Is there any is there any old miss like this? Cali die hard on this? Yeah? Is she?

00:33:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, she doesn’t know nothing about the football team or nothing, but she went there, so you know she’s die hard. And uh yeah, her Rosie’s closet has split fifty to fifty for sure.

00:33:23
Speaker 1: That’s amazing.

00:33:24
Speaker 5: I’ve been thinking about that’s a Missippi love story right there.

00:33:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is right Romeo and Juliet.

00:33:31
Speaker 5: I’ve been thinking about the week of the Egg Bowl, just taking all like finding every old miss apparel that Rosie has and hide somewhere.

00:33:39
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh yeah, that so glowsome. I she’ll probably be in a red and white skirt and you do you like, can’t even I can’t even see those colors together. It makes me so I can’t stand on miss Now. Look, I made a whole lot of money off those fraternities over there, so I appreciate that, and I got love that and like blue Rooster in the library and all Thatford. Oxford stand alone is a great town. I think. I like the town of Oxford.

00:34:09
Speaker 2: The restaurants, the ball jacks.

00:34:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know, but I hate All Missed there. I just can’t do it to me. I mean Tombstone. That’s if I ran a successful business and I had a guy I loved and he came in and he said he graduated from all miss you wouldn’t.

00:34:29
Speaker 2: I would have trouble higher. I’m serious.

00:34:31
Speaker 1: I hated that much. I hate it more than making money, honestly, and I love making money. That’s what makes it.

00:34:38
Speaker 3: That’s what makes Collge football great, dude, That’s what makes in state rivalry is great.

00:34:41
Speaker 1: It’s it’s what that’s what because because the same thing about them.

00:34:44
Speaker 7: Dude.

00:34:44
Speaker 2: They hate our guts.

00:34:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, they think we’re just trash. They were past your trash. Yeah, dude, I love it. That is what I Okay, this is a great little segue to this question. I was going to ask what I want to know what the most redneck and the least redneck thing about y’all is us. Oh geez, I’ll go first, And there’s an example of the least redneck thing right now in my life. Every night before I go to bed, I have hand moisturizer by my on my nightstand that I put.

00:35:14
Speaker 2: That’s your least right now, that’s the least least. That’s the least too.

00:35:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, because there’s tons I said most right, there’s tons of most redneck things.

00:35:20
Speaker 3: The least redneck thing I do right now is put hand most moisturizer on every night. That’s pretty that’s pretty bad.

00:35:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, that’s that’s that’s very not redneck for sure. I got expensive underwear now, Oh that’s good.

00:35:33
Speaker 1: Bamboo. Yeah, yeah, I do too. Wait is that a good one?

00:35:36
Speaker 5: I just got some Hanes and they’re they’re like nicer to step up from what I’ve had.

00:35:40
Speaker 1: There’s cooled. I’ll go d Amazon bamboo cool. Yeah, that’s what that’s literally what call. But that’s not the most expense. It’s not the most expensive. I got some sacks too, That’s what I’m saying. I don’t like the sack. I like some sacks.

00:35:50
Speaker 4: Man.

00:35:50
Speaker 1: This bamboo.

00:35:50
Speaker 2: Sax anyway, sax don’t.

00:35:52
Speaker 1: That’s probably my least redneck is like expensive. I threw away my Hanes this morning. Okay, for sure, I got some Viory shirts that I love. Yeah, but you wear VNX, so it’s different. No, this is not a van I don’t wear VNX anymore. After mom, after Mom called me what she called me, I don’t. I don’t want to out there, should we? I’ll make it real fast read got we’re telling this just super fast. Read. Came home one night of age. He was like twenty two. He had a little I had a little Christmas, a little bit of liquor breath. I didn’t drive. I was very responsible. My dad was mad about it. My mom was back in the day. Oh yeah, that’s twenty two years old. Back in the day could legally it was good. My mom was so much she’s mad all week. You want to tell it because you’ll say I tell it wrong. I find such too. Wrapping a long story shirt short. I get home at four o’clock. The story shirt, for sure, I get I get home in the morning. Dad’s awake at four o’clock in the morning. I tried to all that I’m just saying I’m dad. Me and Dad have an awesome conversation. Mom opens the door, she comes in, just beerates me. Dude, tells me, I’m just a disappointment all this stuff. Tom, She’s gonna be I didn’t know you did. So I wake up next morning, she’s in the kitchen just scrubbing these pants hardest. She well, I’m like, morning Mom. She just looks at me like this. She’s like, is it a good morning? Read? And I walk out you can walk. I walk outside and I hear the door open behind me and close, and I’m like here she comes, can talk to you please? I was like, yes, ma’am. I walk out there and she’s still crubbing this pant. She’s like mister’s wife pastor. She was like, last night, of course, I just say the whole I can say the whole thing, right. She was like last night, when you were talking about drawing your own convictions, she was like, we’re having to go through things to draw your own convictions about things. What exactly did you mean? And I was like, Mom, like I said, like drinking, like smoking a cigarette like two years, going to parties. Yeah, I’m responsible. I didn’t dry. She’s like, she’s like, well, what about homosexuality read did you experience have you experienced that? You have to go through that to it to know how you felt about it? And I was like, she’s a good point. I mean, I know, I was like, I was like, no, she goes, well, I don’t know, you wear a bunch of nuts. That’s crazy. I’m sorry, I’m sorry that Maybe tell that mom, like my girlfriend loves Jack Crew. Mom, Dude, that is unbelievable. That’s good my girlfriend likes Jack Crew. Wow. Oh yeah, okay, least least rednick thing about you.

00:38:29
Speaker 5: Well, speaking of shirts, which is very much the opposite of, like the exact opposite of a V neck.

00:38:34
Speaker 2: But are Henley’s by the way, for everybody? I would I would.

00:38:37
Speaker 1: Say that my like my big like if Callie and I go to like a fancy like a charity dinner or something and I have to dress up, my go to now is a is just a big, old, tall black turtleneck, dude, and I just look like a straight douche. But I like it, And that is very much the least red neck thing. It was a little cute little gold chain. Yeah, I barely but I remember it. Yeah. Oh, man, that’s great. The most redneck thing is that if you walked in and had three cookies with or if you had six cookies with three inch thick slices of belvita between them, I would eat all of them. Cookies and cheese is a good redneck thing to eat. It’s like poor Man’s cheesecake. And it’s good. It’s good. It’s good. Mine mine’s food related to Okay, sardines to this day, no way, Yeah, to this day be a Mississippi thing, dude. Our granddad loves start.

00:39:29
Speaker 5: I mean it’s just like it’s like we have all these you know, calis she’s not granola, but she’s you know, very very health consciousness.

00:39:35
Speaker 1: Just like imagine anything that’s whatever free and whatever, this and that, and then just a stack of camps not touched. Yea, I rink the juice, dog, I can’t drink the juice. That’s the most thinking about it.

00:39:55
Speaker 2: If you drink the juice, all it’s just salted from out.

00:40:00
Speaker 4: Jelly.

00:40:00
Speaker 1: Just get anymore. Yeah, dang uh dang, dude, what this is? What is this?

00:40:12
Speaker 5: That’s a grindstone? For it’s a nutting stone. What depends on where you found it, where you found it about you find it in a field. See, I would call that a little cannon ball.

00:40:22
Speaker 1: Said that I was walking out of the Turkey woods, facetimed you matter of fact, and you didn’t answer, which is fun. I was walking out of the woods turkey hunting and I found this. It was I would say, hoe and walled ish off of nashis trace how far away from a running water? Not far close, like one hundred yards, No, like it was it was on I was walking up a ridge. Yeah, it’s a it’s a it’s a part of a nutting stone. So then so like a matade kind of is what they’d call it. But you there’s a flat rock and they just whatever they had, whatever they you.

00:40:53
Speaker 5: Know, if they were grinding up stuff to make paint or anything, they just they’d have a flat rock and nuts or something. They just be ground it up in there. That’s an artifact. Yeah, that’s an artifact, really, one thousand million percent. Man, have you ever found another spherical rock like that ever in that area? And that’s an artifact because nature repeats itself, if that makes sense. So, like if you go to San Diego, there’s a million round smooth stones all over the beach really like this, well yeah, even smoother than that. But like if you found a stone like that in Tennessee, like on the river bank, it doesn’t belong there, made by man See.

00:41:31
Speaker 1: Loot told me. He was like, you know what Hardy tells me is just look for anything. He said that, you told him, look for any if anything catches your eye disrupts the flow of like what we’re looking at. I mean this was on a on a on like a ridge on a loggerol ridge system where some water head ran. Yeah, and it was just like that was sticking out and I was like, man, I thought it was it might have been like a cannonball or something. Civil Wars ish older older much older. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah, a thousand years older.

00:42:01
Speaker 5: You know what’s crazy is the the its counterparts probably ten feet underground somewhere right around there.

00:42:07
Speaker 1: Huh.

00:42:07
Speaker 5: Usually, like typically when they would leave camps, you know, and just leave behind stuff they didn’t necessarily need. That’s something that they can remake, Yeah, exactly, they would just leave it sitting right there.

00:42:16
Speaker 1: You know. Dirk covers it up eventually and it’s like, how old do you think that might be? It could be well, I mean probably anyway from a thousand to like three or four thousand maybe. Wow.

00:42:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, that’s pretty cool. There are like Native American stuff is old.

00:42:30
Speaker 1: People don’t realize how old a lot of that stuff is. Yeah. Yeah, that’s a real that’s a real deal man. That’s cool. So so like so what how what how? What is what? Pay me for the twenty bucks? Okay, yeah, keep it, I’m keeping it, Yeah, I keep it. I mean I’m never what’s what’s three thousand years ago? Is that? Like? Is this well?

00:42:49
Speaker 2: That’s that’s uh. I was hoping you’re going seven hundred and seventy five BC.

00:42:56
Speaker 1: Dang BC AD BC BC Yeah, because two thousand twenty five was oh that’s right, so no excuse me, it would be y’all doing math right now.

00:43:06
Speaker 5: It would be like no, it wouldn’t be seven it would be one thousand. Yeah, no, no, no, that’s right, seven hundred and seventy five BC. Yeah, old testament. Man, that’s a long time ago. But dude, there’s artifacts I find artifacts all the time in Tennessee that are nine thousand years old, like Archaic early Archaic period.

00:43:25
Speaker 1: All the time, all the time. Like what when you say all the time, what does that.

00:43:29
Speaker 5: I mean, how do you like like a huge, a very large chunk of this area’s artifacts were like, this was a very frequently visited area for Archaic natives that came through here. Okay, it was really good hunting land or whatever it was because they didn’t farm back then, and Archaic there was no farming. They didn’t start farming until like way on maybe like they called the Woodland Period, maybe even past that, I can’t really remember. Maybe then there’s like the Mississippian period, which is still like a thousand years ago.

00:44:00
Speaker 1: But yeah, it’s only fallen herds, right yeah, yeah, yeah, and that herds of animals they only hunted for like ever, for thousands and thousands of years. They didn’t even know how to farm. Yeah. So if a guy like myself, I’ve literally never found an airhead, that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever found, by far. Jordan found one on a golf course.

00:44:18
Speaker 3: I was supposed to bring it and show it to you, but I sent it to Luke and and he was like, yes, scraper, He’s like, it’s exactly what it was. The tip was broke off of it, but it was about reworked. He was about that big, but it was like broken off. So it was like that, and he was like, yeah, it’s a scraper totally okay.

00:44:33
Speaker 1: So if I have never found like a full era ahead, I’ve lived in Tennessee my whole life. I’m outside all the time, been outside my entire life. We grew up outdoors, Like what, how would you tell me I have places I can go like look or whatever? Like how do you even tell a guy, hey, this is what you should do to find an air? Like what are your broads? I know I’m broad stroking here. No, No, I like really simple answer. Okay, able by foot?

00:45:01
Speaker 5: I guess you would say running water like any creek or anything you can walk by by foot that has like gravel beds of any kind. Yeah, one hundred percent will have an arrowhead in it, somewhere in the crew in it.

00:45:14
Speaker 1: One percent water laid well just anywhere.

00:45:17
Speaker 5: It could be up high up on the gravel bed like, but if it’s below the walls the ceiling of the ditch or creek, if that makes sense at all, on the creek floor, if it has like significant like pilings of giant rocks, they’re somewhere in there. Will one hundred percent be an airhead because they lived here for like twelve thousand years. Had they found everything. They lived everywhere, every inch of running water in America. They lived on a hill close to it. It’s in there one hundred percent. There were twenty two million of them at one point. You know, like that’s undeniable. The other one is broken ground. Next, we’re very close to high water or excuse me, running water. So like if you plow a field that’s right next to a creek or river, they’re in there. You could look all day one hundred percent.

00:46:00
Speaker 1: Hmmm.

00:46:01
Speaker 2: The next time, y’all, If y’all the next time, y’all plant or whatever.

00:46:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, uh, if you’re if you have any that are it’s got to be Usually it’s like within like a stone’s throw like it’s it’s it’s the the field right next to the creek. Usually it’s like but if you have anything like that, and then if you want to get real weird, you go find like a lower spot and lay on the ground and if it’s pretty flat, look and if you find like an even just the smallest like hump uh, that’s that would typically probably back in the day was a lot more significantly high, and they would live there because that they knew that that wouldn’t flood. So if you go there, that’s probably where most of the artist like the stuff you’re gonna find like the highest the most density stuff.

00:46:41
Speaker 1: You’re gonna find.

00:46:42
Speaker 5: That’s so cool, cool, dude, I guarantee you if you if you start like walking creeks or or looking in in loose dirt around around uh rivers or creeks, and within a year you’ll find one. The most most of the time people are like, I don’t know, like you know, I can’t find one. It’s because you’re just not like really looking. But if every single time walking in or out of the woods, if during the day or whatever it is, if you look in that dirt every single time, you’re gonna start finding stuff. It’s weird how it pops out.

00:47:10
Speaker 1: It’s awesome. So when you go like on a I know, I know, I know, I’ll hurry. I’m just so interesting if you so, if you like when you go on like a like I’m going looking for airheads today at this spot, when you get out of the truck, you and hunter or whoever, what do you do? What’s the what do you what’s the move you find the water immediately take shoes off. You got your freaking gravel walking shoes on. You walking through there looking.

00:47:35
Speaker 5: It depends on where you go, but like, yeah, like if we’re gonna go to like there’s a creek kind of towards Ashland City that we go to and we have you know, we park at this person’s house and we just hop down on the creek and we’ll just you know, if it’s me and Hunter, he’ll he’ll go hide, I’ll go low, or vice versa. And you’ll just literally take a step every ten seconds and you’re just like scanning.

00:47:56
Speaker 2: You’re just scanning rocks, looking at the ground.

00:47:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, And the biggest giveaway is that you’ll find flakes of flint, like the stuff that they’re made out of, Like, and they could be small or big, but that’s always an indicatory Nine times out of ten you find that.

00:48:10
Speaker 1: Before you find an artifact.

00:48:11
Speaker 5: Really, so you’re like, okay, if I find a flake of you know what’s coming around here is it’s called Fort Paane chirt and that’s like had this gray kind of Flint’s what most of the airheads are made out of. Yeah, but like you’ll just find a flake and you’re like Okay, I will put this on because I know that there’s artifacts in here. If you’re finding flint every time, because it’s not natural break just basically they had a big like they call it a spall. It’s just this big hunk of rock and they would take actually a deer horn and they would like grind it down so it was rounded on the end, and they would just beat around it until it was a flat disk. And then they take the other end of the deer horn and they would just hold it and peck at it until they peck away like a perfect arahad and all that’s all that excess. If they break off, they would just you know, be on the ground, go on the grass or whatever, and that eventually washes into the creeks or stays in the fields or whatever.

00:48:58
Speaker 1: And that’s the flint that you find all the time. And I switched you found anything cool lately? Man?

00:49:03
Speaker 5: The last thing I found that was really good was at Landy and Duck’s house. I posted it and it was just an old, old, old archaic piece called a big sandy and it was just like this big there was a.

00:49:16
Speaker 2: Big spearhead that’s just a gangster. Where did you find it?

00:49:21
Speaker 5: They have a creek that runs kind of through their property. And about a year and a half ago, well, well, Duck just had told me. He was like, I think there’s some marohods in here. Like we bought it from the owner, and the owner said my daughter used to walk in and find aarraheads. I was like, well, okay, cool, let’s go. And then one day we went, I found a really nice one, and then didn’t go for like a year, and just went back one day and I mean, within like I swear, it was like thirty seconds of looking, it was just right there.

00:49:48
Speaker 1: So I got so lucky. I’ll send y’all, I’ll send y’all video. It was just laying there. It was just like a peace sticking out. Yeah. I mean this one was kind of just tucked in between some rocks. But again, like that’s the thing where like you have to really like it’s like try an error or like you have to know what you’re looking for, because you’re looking for what they call like a worked edge. So and it’s just like that chiseled how you know, like an arrowhead and it has this little it’s just like the chiseled out looking. Yeah. That’s because sometimes it can be this and then you pull it out and it’s this long, you know what I mean. Like, and sometimes it’s just laying perfectly on top of everything, like you just it’s just like another rock in the you know, on the gravel bed. It could be hidden, or.

00:50:22
Speaker 2: It could be use those probably a knife, yeah, just wrapping it around.

00:50:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they’re all called arrowheads, but ninety percent of them, probably ninety five percent of them where blades are even like what you’d call like kitchen tools.

00:50:35
Speaker 1: They look cool, but they they had them tied onto a deer horn and they just cutting. Yeah, pirapf feathers, whatever and all that stuff. Yeah, I love it.

00:50:46
Speaker 5: I strongly encourage you to because dude, once you I got like Randy, Like Randy is taking a big interest and now it’s like.

00:50:52
Speaker 1: Oh, he’s gonna fire clouds a field just to look for aarrowheads. He doesn’t even do anything else. I think it’s gonna rain next week, I’m gonna plow this field. And yeah, it’s a really good thing to man. Yeah, absolutely absolutely, And you can do it all your long. That stuff is I mean literally the only people that I’ve ever touched it or them that’s my favorite thing about it.

00:51:15
Speaker 5: It’s like you find like they call it a projectile point, like some of you know, is like a spearhead, and you’re like, man, some guy probably like half my age made this and was running around hunting like the same animals like deer and stuff that we’re hunting today. It’s like, that’s just cool, man, that’s sick and times haven’t changed that much, you know, at the at the bare bones of it all, I think that’s really cool.

00:51:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, that’s pretty nice. What’s what you’re deer hunting?

00:51:36
Speaker 5: What are you doing, dude, I’m I I’m waiting on my world’s biggest six point to get back.

00:51:42
Speaker 1: We’re still talking about that, dude.

00:51:44
Speaker 5: Well, I got him out and I shouldered it, so I’ve been thinking. He said it’s it’s going to be around. He said it’d be close to a year. Uh and that was in December, but he said it he might have it done by like Halloween. So I’m I’m getting ready to see I hadn’t seen him yet.

00:52:00
Speaker 1: Tell us the story, dude. It’s kind of boring, but it’s kind of funny.

00:52:03
Speaker 5: At the same time I landed, I’d done like a run of shows and h or something.

00:52:10
Speaker 4: I had. I was gone.

00:52:11
Speaker 5: I was really tired. He hadn’t he didn’t tell this on the last one, right, No, no, no, no, because I haven’t. Yeah, I’ve kept it since after that last one. But uh I texted Hunter and I was like you want to go? And he was like no, and that we’re like an hour and a half south of town.

00:52:24
Speaker 1: Our Shelbyville area is where we are. And uh, anyway, it was going to rain, and it was just like, you know, one of the last was December ninth or seventh, one of the last days. You’re pushing it, yea, yeah, yeah yeah, And uh anyway, I stopped at Burger King like halfway down there, down sixty five. I got a little I can’t remember when I got. I need to remember, though, but I got.

00:52:51
Speaker 5: It was like a I got like a double cheeseburger and like a little five piece of nugs.

00:52:56
Speaker 1: My receipt was seven dollars and seventy evan since.

00:53:01
Speaker 5: And I sent that picture to our deer our deer camp thread and I said’s triple seven?

00:53:06
Speaker 1: Come on so by yourself, by myself, Yeah, nobody else was even hunting that day.

00:53:11
Speaker 5: I was the only one out there and I knew it was gonna rain, and uh, it was kind of dark, and I was like, man, I’m gonna go sit in this muddy that’s like on this very backfield.

00:53:22
Speaker 1: And uh I love those days by the way, man, a rainy fun. Let me tell you if you listen to this, if you don’t know a wind to hunt, let me tell you a day you got to hunt is a front, Yes, a north wind front, weather changes, hunt the beginning, hunt the front of them, in the back of them. Yeah, dude, yeah, well this, I mean this was so uh let’s see, it was like it wasn’t even it was like fifty five degrees typical Tennessee December, just like super normal. Actually it was almost fairly I would almost say, maybe even warmer than that. Yeah, but anyway, I’m sitting in this field. Hunter texted me, uh and he was like, hey, uh, they’re uh. He sent me a picture of a good deer and he was like, I think this deer is going to pop out in your field, like three hundred yards away. I was like, all right, I look for him. What time is it? Probably about four or fifteen? Are you getting there? Ten after something like that?

00:54:15
Speaker 5: And uh, sure enough, I see you know, this buck come out and he’s too far to shoot, but he’s a long way off and and and then you know, outcome with him is like ten dos a bunch of little deer and there, I mean, they’re just it’s it’s I’m having a fun just watching them through the scope and they’re running around and doing their thing. Another young buck comes out all that, and then I and then I put my gun back in the window, and uh, and I look out in front of me and at seventy five yards there’s this deer nobody had ever seen before. And it’s like a four or five hundred acre piece of property. You know, you even think, yeah, nobody’d ever seen this deer before.

00:54:48
Speaker 3: Though they’re moving, they’re still moving from from you know that that post rud This was a second rudish and second thing they’re still looking for dose.

00:54:56
Speaker 5: Well he this this one was he was just straight chill dude. He’s so long, story short. I sent a picture. I sent a picture of him to Hunter and I was like, have you seen this steer? And he was like, I don’t think so my picture yeah yeah, I mean, you know, he wouldn’t worry about nothing. He was just eating and I mean, dude, long story short, I ended up sending a hunter video and I was like, you know, I was like, you don’t have this steer at all. And I was like, I think he’s a pretty big, pretty big for six point, and he was old, you know, I could tell, and so I said, I’m probably gonna shoot him if that there was a really big eight point that had been hanging around, and I was like, if I don’t randomly see this other big deer, I might shoot the steer because it’s like one of the last days of deer season. And anyway, he goes, it gets like to be about dark, and he goes to walk off and I shoot him, and uh man, it was perfect. He ran just kind of back like fifty yards and fell, and I was super excited. I didn’t even go go down there and look at him. I just left all my stuff. I left my backpack, my gun and everything at the stand and went straight to my truck because I was watching the radar and I was like, man, the bottom it is about falling one of those winter rains where.

00:55:58
Speaker 1: It just rains and rains rains.

00:56:01
Speaker 5: So I get back to my truck and it’s like a fifteen minute walk like it’s like a like an one thousand yard walk back to my truck. And I realized that my freaking keys were in my backpack I left at.

00:56:12
Speaker 1: The bottom of the deer stand due so I walked back to the deer stand and I get my keys, and then I walked back to the truck and I just pull down there and just definitely, you know, I was like kind of worried, uh, pleasantly surprised, you know what I mean. I’m sure I’ve had that. It’s just oh yeah, you know, you never know, almost always, but yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And I was like, damn, you had really good masks. I could tell he was old, and I was like, all right, coolah. Took a bunch of pictures.

00:56:39
Speaker 5: So anyway, by the time with all the rim roll of like forgetting my keys and all that, and I had to load him up by myself and you know, I’ll get it get out of there, and all that long story short, I live in Green Hills, dude, and I ain’t got no skin in rat you know what I mean. We’re suburban life right now. So I called Randy and I was like, hey, can I come gut this deer at your your that’s.

00:57:01
Speaker 1: Where you sent me the picture from. Was at Randy’s barn. I think so, yeah, it was. It was. And I’m calling, I’m calling, uh is it Flowers, I’m calling everybody, and nobody will take a deer.

00:57:13
Speaker 5: It’s too late at this point and it’s not cold enough yet to just leave him in the back of my truck. So I’m freaking out and I don’t have any freezer space, and neither nobody did.

00:57:22
Speaker 2: And uh so I called.

00:57:25
Speaker 5: Shame Prophet and I was like, hey, and I had never met this guy in my life, but he and I had been talking about deer hunting a lot and just like sending pictures of arrowheads and all that.

00:57:34
Speaker 1: And he’s a he is a real one. And I said, uh, and I wanted to. I wanted to shoulder mountain deer.

00:57:40
Speaker 5: And I’ve never I’ve I’ve skinned a bunch of deer, but I’ve never caped, properly caped a buck and not screwed it up.

00:57:46
Speaker 1: You know, Mississippi. Of course, very I’m very open about that. I’ve never known that. But uh, that’s a different thing, by the way, listeners, caping a deer out for and skinning a buck it’s too totally different things. Well, yeah, because you can screw up you can use You can’t screw up a cape for you know, you know you don’t need to. Yeah, yeah, Well you can’t screw up skin on one, but you can screw up a cape very easy. Yeah, And I’m just afraid of it. So yeah, I texted Shane and I was like, dude, I’m in a tight right now. And it’s by the way, dumping rain, just like absolute pouring rain, of course, and it’s like eight pm at this point, you know it.

00:58:22
Speaker 5: Finally get forty five minutes back to Randy’s house whatever anyway.

00:58:25
Speaker 1: So sure enough, I was like, dude, can you can you do you? A? Do you have somebody that we can give this deer to? Yeah? And B can you can you cape out this deer? Because I just don’t know how to cape out of buck? And he was like, I got you.

00:58:37
Speaker 5: So I drive from Randy’s house an hour and ten minutes in the poor and range of Columbia to see and pull up and Shane’s out there and we just like hung out and and he caped this deer out and then we drive another twenty minutes into like actual the town of Columbia, gave gave it to some old boy in the hood.

00:58:54
Speaker 1: He was happy as hell to get it, and then uh, that was it.

00:58:58
Speaker 5: But i got home at like ten pm that night, and I’ve got this, you know, this deer head in the back and Cali like I opened the door and she’s like, what where the hell?

00:59:06
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, but uh it’s fun and it was kind of a yeah, I never that’s the first, Like, that’s actually the first buck I’ve killed in Tennessee.

00:59:15
Speaker 2: I think it’s got to be. He’s a stomper. Well, but the point is I didn’t.

00:59:20
Speaker 1: Have a plan in place at all, and like I kind of kind of uh, yeah, I don’t know. It kind of inspired me, Well, next time, have it together. Your boys are down there. Yeah. I don’t know why I didn’t call y’all. I’m really sorry about that. Well, actually, I don’t know how much we could have helped. We didn’t really have spaces like sending y’all pictures and stuff. Might have been in Kansas you sent me. I was because I remember sitting that picture. I was like, I think that’s Randy’s born because all I saw was the picture he gave in the back of the truck and it was late, and I was like, Hey, it’s late, where’s he at? And then I was like, I think it looks a lot like Randy’s born. But next time I’ll have a By the time this season around, if you kill a dud in there, bring a boys shop, dude.

01:00:03
Speaker 2: I say something else too, man.

01:00:05
Speaker 5: Hunting the rut is awesome, but I have killed I think the last like three years, I have killed a deer late in season just eating rye crass.

01:00:12
Speaker 1: It’s kind of a cheating you’re busy, Like I’m gonna tell you something. Don’t want to try that hard. We do it every year, late scenes a deadly We do it every year in Tennessee.

01:00:20
Speaker 3: If you can, if you can, if you’ve got time to plant, if you got time to just put grass, winter peas, rde Well that’s why I don’t.

01:00:25
Speaker 1: Freak out about not having our food plots in yet even this year, because we don’t even hunt them until December. Yeah, And I mean we can get them in and we hunt them, but yeah, but I mean you get them in in October because they really post rut. They’re coming back to that food source and there’s nothing else. If you’ve had enough rain and all that, and there their sowers like yeah, yeah, yeah, and they’re gonna stand in those acorns. They’re gonna they’re gonna stay there until they’re gone. And then right when they right when they turn, they’ve been sitting on the ground too long and they when they turn, it’s rut time, right, So they’re interested in that. But post rut, there’s no acorns, there’s no everything’s starving to death. You have me any kind of food out there, that’s the time they’re trying to build up again. They’re trying to build up protein. Yeah, it’s kind of a it’s but it’s always like this buck came out early, but me and my dad both have killed like a pretty decent like some pretty good deer.

01:01:15
Speaker 2: Like at dark it’s like a clockwork man, this cold, windy afternoons.

01:01:19
Speaker 1: Like when that point I shot last year, that big seven point I shot last year, was like that was after Christmas. You know, I passed him in October. Yeah.

01:01:28
Speaker 3: Remember the first time we ever saw him was the first time. I mean, I didn’t mean that, I was just saying, like on me, but the first time I saw him was was pouring down rain and he walked out in that food.

01:01:40
Speaker 1: He sent us a video is like, should I shoot this deer? Me and Dad were like absolutely. My answer if you send me a video like that is always yes, because I want to go to your house and drink beer and look at it for an hour and a half. It’s harder for me to shoot a deer that I don’t know, like like if like if I see a deer that walks out, that’s a mature deer. It’s a big deer. But you’ve never seen him.

01:01:58
Speaker 3: But I’ve never had pictures of him. I don’t know, like I hadn’t studied how old he is. Yeah, it’s hard for me to quote unquote pull the trigger, you know. And and and so I didn’t that day, you know. And and looking back, I mean he was a very word Yeah, I want to see a picture of He was a very worthy dear, you know. And and Dan shot him. I think it was the last day of season. Yeah, at dark, and he’s an awesome dear dude. And I ended up killing a great deer.

01:02:20
Speaker 1: But exactly what you exactly what you just said about, Uh, it was at I mean it was like dark when I shot that. I mean that deer walked out of seventy five yards and I was like, oh, that’s him. So I’m old deer doe they know, dude, I feel like those old deer like you were talking about, like you’re six, my seven, I feel like they the guard goes down a little bit when it’s after a lot of people.

01:02:46
Speaker 2: Well there’s no pressure. Yeah, a lot of people and dud during the week.

01:02:49
Speaker 5: I know, I know that sounds weird, but like, yeah, there’s not a bunch of stinks sticking up the woods and you know what I mean, there’s something about it, man, you know that’s not we I have a hunt property that I’m slowly trying to expand in Mississippi and the Shoba County and uh just with like our family, like some of our families moved off to Vicksburg, and my dad’s kind of just getting older and he’s not hunting really hard anymore. My grandfather’s gone and my you know, my both my uncle. Anyway, the people, there’s zero pressure these days, and I have the property right next to it. There’s a ton of pressure because some new guys have moved in. And dude, I’ve killed a good deer on there. I went like ten years without killing a really good deer out there. Yeah, and like three years in a row now I’ve killed. And I think it’s just because it stays dead, silent out.

01:03:32
Speaker 2: There until the refuge. It’s a refuge for it.

01:03:34
Speaker 3: I’ll tell you that nobody’s out there that has so much to do with it. Some of the people freak out when they have neighbors come in start hunting hard. Oh they’re shooting everything.

01:03:41
Speaker 1: They’re been there.

01:03:42
Speaker 3: But a lot of times, a lot of times it will what it’ll do is it’ll push, it’ll make that area that they’re hunting, that that area, it’ll make it a no go like a like a nozone for those big deer, and they’ll just go to they’ll go to unpressured land. And I mean if you’re property sitting there Misissippi and doesn’t get touched but a week in.

01:03:59
Speaker 1: January, Yeah, that’s pretty much all there.

01:04:01
Speaker 3: Especially if they got food, they got water, if they got sheltered, I mean they’re going to stay there.

01:04:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, there’s the six point. Yeah I forgot about that. There is this the bat the truck bed picture. Yeah, let me see I’m there. Yeah, he was a hammer. That’s a hammer, six bro hammer, the world’s biggest six points. I love it. That’s a great dear man.

01:04:23
Speaker 5: I just yeah, he’s I don’t know, Alex. No, it’s a guy down in. It’s a guy down in uh Lewisbourg. But he’s really good.

01:04:33
Speaker 1: Shane actually Shane. Shane hooked me up with him and he’s he did, shoot, hi might I don’t do you all have somebody down there he’s I don’t can’t remember his name, but uh, Tennessee, I think he did.

01:04:44
Speaker 2: Uh he does a couple of like I know he does, like Tyler Fars Tyler’s down there.

01:04:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, he’s right, he does. The ones that I saw in the shop were really good, really well done.

01:04:54
Speaker 4: Yeah.

01:04:54
Speaker 2: You know how you can test like the eyes?

01:04:56
Speaker 1: The eyes are always like yeah, if they look like if they look like somebody took my scare out and just did a solid circle.

01:05:02
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

We got our our hometown guy who’s really great. He did he did, actually he didn’t do that, dear, but did all that. He did that. Turkey did that. Turkey as badass. And then we got shout out Craig, garyl out Craig. Girls, give me he’s been back leather on deer skin right now. He’s mounted above now. But he covers up honestly, and sometimes like if we have a crazy year, we have to kind of disperse a little bit. So yeah, for sure, Alex and Franklin down there. The text army is what he calls it, and U t e he does. He had it Wilson’s tax Dermy. He got sued or something that I was about to and so he changed it to just the taxi. Wow. He does really great work too. Both those guys did great work. Any time you got anything going on in a spot, yeah, call at your boys. I don’t know why, but we were talking.

Speaker 3: Did you write for a long time and just take the ones you love or did you have a certain you know, did you sit down and go, okay, we’re writing for my record today.

01:09:51
Speaker 1: A little bit of both. I mean, obviously this record being and I don’t mean to interrupt you, but like for the listener out there, you’re writing. You don’t write just for you man, Like you said, does the right songs?

01:10:01
Speaker 4: Yeah?

01:10:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely songwriters all the time, and a lot of a lot of guys don’t in your position, and a lot of artists, you know, when they write, they they’re writing a certain idea for them that day. Yeah, but you kind of do it both you kind of go back, you play, you play your Travis Hunter in that thing. Man. Yeah, that’s pretty much how it is.

01:10:19
Speaker 5: I Mean there’s been times where like I’ll sit down and I’ll have an idea or whatever, and I’m like, this is a this is a me song. And then there’s times where there’s there’s songs that I’ve like written and thought like that’s pretty good, and then like after a week be like, man, I should.

01:10:31
Speaker 1: Probably cut that. Like that’s you know what I mean, Like that’s my thing. So it’s a little bit of both.

01:10:35
Speaker 5: But I definitely, uh, you know, having done like a real actual rock record last year, I just wanted to I was like, Okay, it’s time to put out Like hence kind of that’s my like smart ass way of being like, here’s.

01:10:48
Speaker 1: Your country record is like country country, and yeah, you know, there’s a couple of songs with country and the title.

01:10:54
Speaker 5: I think there’s seven or maybe eight, And after after about the fourth one, I definitely within the tension, was like, let’s let’s go what’s every euphemism with the word money or something that I can change it to country and let’s write a.

01:11:05
Speaker 1: Song about it.

01:11:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that’s fine, but I’m stoked, man, that’s I think it’s uh, you know, I had two years to try to just get the best like twenty that I could and just hope everybody likes it. Just kind of throw it out there and pray, like every every other record, you know, talk to me.

01:11:22
Speaker 1: About Buck on the Wall.

01:11:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, that was uh, you know I wrote that with uh with our boy Jamo and I love that Jamison Rogers, Jeb Gibson, and I love Matt Traction. Yeah, and uh, that was a retreat song. My grandfather had passed back in January, and uh, it was say it was right after you were on our show. Actually I’m sure it was. Yeah, it probably wasn’t much longer. And yeah, so Jamison actually had that idea and he threw it out and and uh and I was all about it. But you know, what’s the cool thing about that song is that, you know, it describes my actual like our deer camp back home, like our camp house and all that in the first verse and then it talks about this Buck on the Wall and it’s.

01:12:07
Speaker 1: All very very true.

01:12:10
Speaker 5: But I wrote that song prior to the next Deer season and uh, so like the rest of that song, became.

01:12:18
Speaker 1: True that year because I killed a deer and Jamison was with me, dude, which is so crazy, so sick man.

01:12:26
Speaker 5: It was like and it was funny they were they were down there and and uh we had a bunch of pictures of some deer and like deer we’d never saying.

01:12:33
Speaker 1: They were moving like crazy. And it was one of those mornings where it was like rain raining a lot at night, I think, and the moon was weird, and we were like, let’s go in at like eight thirty, you know, or so and let everything sort of chill out a little bit. And dude, sure I had ten thirty. I mean, you know, sometimes if you go in at five point thirty, ten thirty is getting around, you know, depending on you know, if you drink four, you get hungry. It’s like, let’s get out of here, ye, like ten thirty, ten thirty five.

01:12:56
Speaker 5: This boy came out and uh, anyway, the fact that Jamie was what was there with me, and and uh, you know, it’s like I wrote that the rest of that story into existence was really special. I took that deer into town to show my grandma and she talked about, you know, how proud he come love to see it was awesome, it was.

01:13:13
Speaker 1: A great and you know, but he probably pushed that book up that it was great, that was it was good. So that’s a special one. That’s a special special part of the record for sure. Not to take away from the record, but to go back to deer. But but many, let’s be honest. I mean, we’ve talked a lot about like memories and and then that stuff in this podcast, even with kids and stuff like that. But man, standing around les, I’m getting redneck bomps right now, right now thinking about this, I’m glad to around the bed of a truck with a deer laying in the bed of the truck, and the and some light coming from somewhere, whether it’s the the cargo bay, lie that coming forward to one coming up iPhone’s dark by the time you do that, right, unless it’s a morning thing. But usually for some reason in my head at night, it’s at night and it’s dark, but everybody’s faces are lit up around the bed of that truck, all staring in the back of The story has been told forty times, but you just want to hear it one more cast That is about as good as it gets.

01:14:26
Speaker 5: I think that there is like a caveman instinct, where like we’ve been doing that for like since humans have been on this planet, do you know what I mean? And I just think there’s a reason why we love it so much. It’s just like familiar. I know, that’s kind of a crazy perspective. Well, like people have been doing that for a.

01:14:43
Speaker 3: Thousands You think about some of those Indians riding on horseback chasing this buffalo and making a shot.

01:14:50
Speaker 1: That while then, I mean, I always say like read could he could repeat verbatim my big deer story from last year, because I’ve told it so many times, But not.

01:15:05
Speaker 2: Only that story, I could, I could that one right there.

01:15:07
Speaker 1: I can tell you. I could tell you from the moment to the moment we got back to the I mean into the truck and shut everybody in town. I can tell you that story. It’s so weird how those I said A one, Yeah, it’s so weird to me that those I don’t like. If I see a picture of me a fish, I’m like, oh man, where where were we when I called that? You know? Or if I crazy as this is, really you ain’t ever caught a big If I see a picture of like me and you and Luke somewhere I’ll be like, oh, man, where were we on that? Or if you know we’re you know, they always take the shot before the show and I’m like, oh, I wonder what. But if I see a picture of me with a deer, you with a deer, with a deer, my dad with a deer, like bro, I know exactly where we were, I know what time. I don’t know what truck that was that we were in. Your kids are not percent every damn story. Every It definitely is for my dad for sure. But one of those why of those in there and all that? They are so fun?

01:16:12
Speaker 5: Man, it’s like if the it’s like the fondest I don’t know, man, it’s like it’s you know, it’s so weird too. And this sounds terrible and it’s but it’s like sometimes it’s like the proudest.

01:16:21
Speaker 2: You’ll ever be of your buddy or your brother or whatever.

01:16:23
Speaker 1: It’s just you know what I mean, Like do I Yeah, It’s it’s just there’s some weird innate. I think you’re right.

01:16:32
Speaker 2: I think it touches. I think it touches something.

01:16:36
Speaker 1: There’s some redneck there’s also something about red blood and bone in that It has it has. It’s this sounds so selfish, and maybe it should, but it’s like it has nothing to do with anybody, but you you know what I mean. Like when I hit, when I have a song that goes number one or gets cut or something, I’m like, hell, yes, that’s awesome. I’m providing for my family. Like that’s what I think when that happened. I’m just saying that happens a whole lot. But when when some money comes in with your codd, this is gonna There’s not many things in our lives left as married family men. That’s like for us really, and I feel even I’m trying to say, I don’t mean I know that sounds selfish and I don’t mean for it, but we’re always given right, we’re trying to you want to make sure and and and innately we say this all the time. It’s like, I feel like, you want to provide for your family, so you’re gonna work really hard to do that. And like the one thing left I feel like, as like just a dude that wants to celebrate something for himself is that. And I think that’s why it’s so precious to me. Man, It’s like the one thing that I’ve gotten. I gotta have it. I got to hold onto it. And then the culmination and the climax of all that when you’ve it’s been successful and you know you’ve done it and you’re going home and everything. Man, there’s something really nice about that feeling. And it’s kind of that in reverse what you were saying, like like that is like a number one saw. All that stuff advances like this. The story of that buck ends when you shoot him, sure you know. And it’s just the the the love, the passion of doing that again and and going on about a career. Right, there’s just there’s a little time, little window that we get to do it. And then you know, with kids, your window becomes smaller and small and smaller because you want to and rightfully so said all the time, it’s like, man, this dad stuff would be easy if we were pieces of because we’re not. It requires time and effort, you know, and so thus doing that takes energy away from other things. But when you get those two or three days and then it pops off and you’re standing around and your but there’s nothing better, man. That’s why it’s so addicting.

01:18:43
Speaker 2: It’s like sad when you drive.

01:18:45
Speaker 1: It’s like dropping your kid off at school or something.

01:18:46
Speaker 5: When you take it at the you’re like driving home, You’re like, man, I’m not even gonna get see it.

01:18:52
Speaker 1: Pulling it out of you. My wife and I have been in a tif about that, dude about that. But she’s we’re building a new house and I’m like, where’s my spot. She’s like, ain’t no spot, dude, that’s the barn. The barn is the spot. Like, fill it up, dude, go nuts out there. And I’m like, and this was my argument, and tell me if if you think it was it was, it was a good one or not. But I was like, China, want to let you know that’s the biggest deer I’ll ever kill in my life ever. Seeing that deer makes me a better person that day. So by having the deer in the house and me waking up and opening my eyes to this giant, it brings me joy, makes me a better day. Yeah, it takes me a better husband. He want me to be an as every day. That’s exactly right. Do you want me to be the best to me not being then, let me put this on this opposing wall from when I opened my eyes. Oh my god, dude, and it’s just a straight no, it ain’t looking good. I won’t to say straight she’s she made my clothes at pretty big so that he could fit in there. But I will say that you spend time on that mo like a man cave studio thing too, And that’s that’s That was Cali’s like foot down moment, was like they can all go in there. I was like, okay, well ever, yeah that’s and I’ll see you later. Do I go straight to the man cave every day? Okay, did we talk about the record? We talked more about it. Tell me about the y’all need Jesus.

01:20:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, dude, that’s just a obviously, Ah, I just have gotten a lot. It’s really funny. When my last record Quit came out, this was a rock record. I from that moment until into Infinity, I that was my first moment of like having some some hate, like first time ever country hate or is it like rock guy hate. I think a little bit of everything. I think some of the rock people hated it, and some of the a lot of the country people hated it. But I also I will say this is like my fans. I do consider my following a somewhat of a cult thing because like I put out just so far from two ends of each other, and my like Ride or Die fans like it both, and you know what I mean. So it’s sort of I can feel that it’s like fair weather fans and like you know, like quick comes out and then there’s like people that are like the hearty ball off needs to be studied and like, you know like that. But I had I got haters for the first time, and uh, that’s just it’s a fun way of sort of making fun of myself but also kind of just just finding a polite way to tell all these people to.

01:21:35
Speaker 1: You know what I’ll tell you was in your cult following is my three year old so really, oh my god, daddy rockstar, daddy rockstar, daddy rock star. Every I’m so sick and he uh, a funny thing happened. I hope my mom’s not listening to this. But those day my daughter said something and Boots she said shut up. And my my boy boone whos three, was like, hey, we don’t say that, and she goes, well, you say that hardy song and that’s a bad word way. Oh my gosh. Man video of him singing that he can’t even like sing. He doesn’t know the words.

01:22:18
Speaker 2: He mumbling, Yeah, that’s awesome, pretty great.

01:22:21
Speaker 1: He loves you. They’re gonna they’re gonna freak out when they when they see us sitting together. And I said, tell him all Ti. I’m like, hey, he’s my friend. And they’re like, and they know Louke, you know what I mean. I’m like, but they he don’t even’s livery But they’re like, oh man Hearty and Dylan Marlowe, those guys, they think you’re anyway you are, you are your your icons, those guys. That’s funny.

01:22:48
Speaker 5: I get a lot of videos of kids singing, and it’s always like the heavy stuff. Really yes, like it’s never you know whatever, that’s never like just a regular old country so it’s.

01:22:58
Speaker 1: Always Jim Bob or like truck bed or yeah all the rock star man sold out.

01:23:03
Speaker 4: Man.

01:23:03

Yeah, we did twenty twenty one thousand and in Hershey, Pa, to put it in just put to put it in perspective of how it’s just different up there, bro for me.

But it’s just you know, as as most charity funds, there’s we don’t have a specific thing that we donate to where we wanted to always leave that open, but yeah, it’s just calianized charity thing. Live Nation this year did a dollar per ticket, which was sick because it’s just an awesome way to get get money rolling through their sure and man, anything that sparks our our ear or our our hearts to be uh, to be more specific, we just would donate to And it’s I think it’s just the Heartyfun dot com. But either way, just I just would I love not like talking about it because people know that it’s out there and can reach out if they have anything. Like we there’s a there’s a thing in Philadelphia where they take care of like like mentally disabled people after high school because that kind of you know, it’s like what happens after that, you know, where do they go? And they needed like a washer and dryer, and so we just did that and like something as small as that, so as big as like you know, the American Cancer Foundation or whatever it is and everything in between changing man, absolutely absolutely. So we’re it’s CALLI and I’s charity and we’re like beyond excited about it.
