All right, welcome back. Welcome to episode number
20 -something. I'm trying not to keep track,
but we're starting to scratch our way to the
30th episode. They all said this couldn't be
done. They all said it'll never work, it'll never
last. They... Look, honestly, I don't know who
they are, but that's what they were thinking.
And I don't have to prove that to anybody, but...
Uh, anyway, here we are. What, um, what a day,
what an occasion. I have been looking forward
to this for, well, let's just say months. Um,
here we are, uh, middle of February, mid to late
February and the Dan time podcast. Let me go
ahead and just, I'm all over the place today.
I'm your host Dan McCardell. You're listening
to the Dan time podcast. For those of you who
have been listening for a while or you jumped
on a few weeks ago and you know, I kind of like
where this thing is going and Today you might
be thinking what is this? He's all over the place.
He's This is a mess. Well This is what we do
when this is what I do when I bring back somebody
like today's guest Jim Powell before I get any
further everyone know you've pulled up the show
notes or you see it, you're driving and you see
who the guest is. Yes, Jim Powell, the one and
only. Jimmy, he is back today after a near five
month absence. Sounds like a long time, but let's
remember he helped me launch this podcast, this
project, Jim, not a Dan, but a Jim. And there's
a story behind that. Go back and listen to that
episode. If you're not familiar, I brought him
right back. about seven weeks later or after
the seventh episode for a bonus episode. Don't
know why I needed him that quickly. I think I
just, you know, I felt some magic. I always feel
a comfort level with this man, this friend of
mine. And but then the show's been moving along
and there's been no reason to go back to that
well until today. until today and we'll get into
the reasons why, how, and why it's necessary.
But Jim, first of all, let me just ask you, how
about this weather we're having? Let's, how about
this weather? Not how you doing, not how's everything
been the past five months. Let's talk about this
fricking weather. I mean, I'll get right to the
weather, but first of all, I don't know if you
can hear blushing through the phone, but always
just these glowing intros that I get. It's just
such an uplift. It's always a pleasure to give
the call, you know, to the bullpen to be your,
I wouldn't say closer, but middle relief guy
when you need somebody to get you through to
those later innings. And so, you know, just happy
to be here and the weather is cold. It's gray,
but I don't know if you're speaking about today's
weather because today is cold but for the past
week it's been unseasonably warm it's felt like
so the weather has been you know alabama -ish
i would say what's it like down there and uh
and uh the panhandle it's cold it's misty it's
rainy uh but i was gonna say no matter no matter
where you are the weather is always an important
piece of Yes, it is a piece it is very important
whether it is important if we didn't have weather
might live on Mars or something like that and
that would be very Inconvenient for everybody.
Well, I'll just say this Jim. I don't think there's
atmosphere there. So we'd be in trouble Well,
whether it isn't you know, whether you like it
or not The reason I brought that up and it's
a very important question how about this whether
we're having In that sequence and because we're
men of a certain age and that's how we open discussions
We run into someone we go to a an event or a
work Gathering or lunch and you bump into someone
you're you're putting your your plate together
from the little Nukes line or whatever the hot
plate. You know, you've been to those things,
right? You've worked for companies or belong
to the club. And hey, how you doing? How you
doing, Jim? How about this? How about this weather
we're having? First of all, we don't have weather.
How about this weather we're experiencing? Uh
huh. I'd like to move things along very quickly
here because that that just did not land the
way I wanted it to. But, uh, Jim. Good effort
though. I enjoyed it. I just want to say thanks
for being here. Thanks for answering the call.
Like you said, you're like that guy, the middle
reliever had been sitting in the bullpen. You've
been traveling with the team for a few weeks
now and you haven't pitched in nine days. Let's
just say proportionately to when you've appeared
last in this podcast and then, uh, and then,
uh, skip calls for you. What was it like when
you got the call earlier this week? Oh, just
jubilation, you know, when the phone rings, first
of all, you and your brother and one other friend
of ours, Grant, are about the only people who
actually still use the telephone feature on their
cell phones. So anytime the phone rings, I just
get giddy. And you probably don't hear my voice
because I try so hard to stifle it. But, you
know, I just love, I love to hear myself talk.
But really, I just love talking to you. So I
was excited. and uh always happy to do it and
I just love um you know listening to your podcast
day and time speaking of your brother Travis
it's good to know that I've been on here you
know multiple times and he still hasn't made
it on so you know if I could ever get on with
him that would be the holy grail if he'll come
on I'll come on with him since he's so scared
to do it by himself wow I think that's that's
your that's your that's the shining star that
you should keep shooting for you know Well, I
do have an update on that end. So and I haven't
mentioned it. There's been no reason to the past
several weeks. But Travis and I have we've been
in talks. I think I've gotten him to I mean,
he was way off. He was that wall was up. There
was no breaking through. He said, thanks. I appreciate
it. You know, I enjoy listening to the episode
with Robert, the Halloween special. Oh, great.
Yeah, he just didn't feel a need to do it. but
uh we've come a long way uh in our discussion
so i don't know when he's going to appear but
it is now at one time it was doubtful then questionable
oh where it's questionable i would move it to
now probable probable that my younger brother
travis will make an appearance well that's i'm
looking forward to that and until then you know
i'm always here for you so you just call me anytime
but You know, the purpose of this podcast, this
is not a screw around venture. This is not me
just, hey, let's bring on all my old buddies,
my brothers, my uncle, and let's just shoot the
breeze with no outline or anything. That is not
what I'm trying to do here. But today we really
have no structure to this episode. And I got
to say, it's kind of a welcome relief. I've gone
a few weeks here. I'm very happy with the guests
that I put forward. I think they've enjoyed being
on the show. I hope so. But every once in a while,
and I've had a lot of changes here in the past
couple weeks. I'm not gonna talk about what I've
had going on, but this kind of makes sense right
now, and luckily you were willing to do it. Let
me just say, Jim, I was listening, I don't know
if you ever listened to Fly on the Wall, the
podcast with. David Spade and Dana Carvey. Oh,
I have their own. I've never listened to it,
but I have the the retrospective on Phil Hartman
recorded, but I just have to listen to it. Check
that one out. They I think Danny DeVito is either
the current episode or one or two back. Obviously,
Danny DeVito is someone that I would love to
have on this show. DeVito Big Dan right there.
That's a Dan to get, yeah. Absolutely. Now they
were talking about he's appeared six times on
SNL. There's the famous five -time club. But
DeVito, I didn't realize that, has hosted the
show six times. So you're, you know, similarly,
it's a prestigious... Absolutely. You can't even
say it without a chuckle. It is prestigious,
man. I'm prestiged. I'm prestige. Like I said,
honored and prestige to be the first three timer
on the daytime podcast. My name is Jim. That's
okay. Three letters, one syllable, works. Now,
Jim, there is a caveat. This will be an official
episode. When I brought you back the second time,
I thought this cannot be episode number eight.
He was just here. He just helped He was the first
one. Let's just make this fun. I think we got
together to Send some good mojo to the Cubs.
They were making a playoff run at the time. This
is September end of September 2023 So I build
it as a bonus episode. So, you know, let's let's
be honest here. It's it's kind of like appearance
number 2 .5. I really don't know what yeah, what's
your second official appearance and let's just
say you drew a walk The bonus episode was no
official at bat. You were there, you reached
base, but it wasn't a clean hit. Okay, well you
have your record book, I have mine. This is my
third pick. And I'm sticking to it. No doubt.
I might put that out there as a, you know, you
can do surveys on X and just sit back and wait
for the crickets because I think I put it, the
last time I put a survey out there. I voted.
You voted. A couple other people pretty close
to the vest voted and then I think I might be
throwing a vote too just to make it look like
we had. Maybe we'll put a question out there.
Is this Jim's third appearance or is this really
his second official? I have a lot of stuff I
want to get to today with you. First of all,
it is an election year. And I know what people
are thinking. Oh my gosh, he's gone this long.
Now we're going to hear the Trump stuff, the
Biden stuff. No, you're not. No, you're not.
It is. It's an election year and it just got
me thinking. I got a couple of questions here,
Jim. Well, first of all, I was thinking this
week about some of my favorite fictional politicians
in movies. And I just scratched out a few. You
might remember one that's not on this list. My
favorite. of all time, and feel free to laugh
at my expense here, I gotta go with Al Donnelly
from Black Sheep, Running for Governor. But I
also scratched out President James Marshall,
Air Force One. That might be the tops of most
people's list, Harrison Ford. Get off my plane.
Tom Kirkman. Key for Sutherland's Tom Kirkman
from Designated Survivor Jed Bartlett. Oh, who
could forget that one? Let me comment on these.
Key for Sutherland? Who? And what? Well, now
this wasn't a feature film, but this is, it's
on Netflix. I think it started on Network TV,
Designated Survivor. I used to watch this show
with Natalie. And Key for Sutherland was the
president? Jim, we've messaged about this, I'm
pretty sure. You've never heard of Designated
Survivor? Yes, I've heard of Designated Survivor.
I think you're the only person in America who
watched it. I just like giving you grief about
it. The list was on fire until then. Alright,
so Al Donnelly's the governor. I don't have another
governor on the list, but do you have a favorite
movie portrayal of... a president, a governor,
maybe a mayor? Ooh, remember the movie Dave with
Kevin Kline where he has a body double? Is he
the body double for the president or was he the
president? That was a good one. Little known,
there was, he was a body double, Dustin Hoffman,
I think, in a movie called Moon Over Parador
for a small Latin American country who had a
dictator who they needed to stand in for. And
they found out this schlub from America, who
played by Dustin Hoffman, was a dead ringer for
him. So that's my designated survivor pick that
obviously nobody has ever heard of or remembers.
Man, Air Force One, Harrison, I don't remember
his name in the movie, but you just said it.
That's a great one. Oh, best ever, Bill Paxton,
Independence Day. There you go. Or no, Bill Coleman.
Bill Coleman, Independence Day. Number one right
there. I think what does it for me with Al Donnelly
is, well, Chris Farley, Farley's character in
that movie, but has his best movie. Have you
seen a movie that represents a campaign or a
candidate's top surrogate and the way that Farley
behaves and the links he goes to and kind of
flops and fumbles doing it, trying to get his
brother elected? Now I asked this question and
this I'm gonna roll this into a a serious question
for you Jim. Oh gosh. Have you ever in Previous
years this year or looking ahead to 26 28 Have
you ever been mulling A run for office. Oh man,
that is a good question. I actually. I do kind
of get into a little bit of locally local politics
and local. Cause is way more than anything national,
just because I don't feel like there's a whole
lot that can change. Obviously there is. Impressive
people that go about doing that, but yeah, I
think I would enjoy running for something hyper
local. You know, maybe just for my city or. If
anything, the County would be the largest probably,
but something in the city would actually be pretty
neat. If you could affect change somehow, which
seems to be easier to do on the local level.
Well, I wasn't expecting that answer. Well, I
thought you might, I thought you might answer
in the affirmative, but wow, Jim, I am sorry
to say you can dash those aspirations, uh, by
way of your appearance on this podcast and the
reputation. Gosh, I feel so bad. I walked you
into this and Those questions are gonna come
up and the flyers that you get in the mail there's
gonna be the black and white picture of Jim and
Do you know what he's been what what he has been
doing? And the and the people he's been talking
to and these podcasts he's been appearing on
and all this stuff He's been you know having
discussions about the accelerator hairdryer hand
dryer What else did we talk about last time?
Do you want a man representing you who doesn't
use paper towels or only uses paper towels? He
doesn't wash his hands when he leaves the bathroom.
No, that's not true. But yes, that's absolutely
how they could spend that. And they'd have a
big, you know, Ghostbuster symbol over me coming
out of the bathroom, looking shocked directly
into the camera and, you know, dripping wet hands.
And then right next to it will be a damn time.
podcast symbol with a big red Ghostbusters sign
in there too. Thanks for doing it, Dan. I appreciate
it. We'll just have to, you know, wipe this from
the internet, which is easy to do, right? Everybody
will tell you that. Once it's on the internet,
easy to get rid of. I think maybe the good thing
is with a podcast like this one, it's still relatively
obscure and to get into the meat of things. catch
someone, you'd really have to listen for a while.
Cause this is a long form conversation. Some
of my, some of the episodes are gone an hour,
20 minutes, hour 30 minutes, maybe a little too
long sometimes, but yeah, people would have to
stick around and put the time in to catch you
saying something. But no, in all honesty, Jim,
I asked that question because I've always thought
that if the time was right and, and you were
prepared to do something like this. You've got,
you've got my full backing. Well, thank you.
Would you be my campaign manager when you, you
know, drop everything and come up to, you know,
Birmingham to help me run them for city council?
I would, I would be honored to do it, but I think
that I might end up behaving like Mike Donnelly
and doing more harm than good if you put me on
stage at a microphone. Yeah, no kidding. Yeah
How about the thing that art how about the thing
that like Tommy boy and black sheep are basically
the same movie just with very minor tweaks. Yeah,
I Really wish you know talking about Chris Farley
I've read that after Tommy boy, and I don't want
to get you know too serious here, but he really
enjoyed that experience some of those movie sets
and You know, you imagine if you're going day
after day, week after week, around these same
people. It's fun. You're doing what you love
to do. It's maybe keeping you in check. You know,
you can't do a lot of extra curricular stuff
at that time because you got to be, you got to
be good for your performance. Um, and I think
he talked about being getting kind of down after
those periods, after maybe black sheep and Tommy
boy and, um, I could see that, but I just want
to say, I know we're in agreement here. I miss
Chris Farley every year. I don't, I couldn't
say every single day, every week, every month,
but it's not too many months go by where I don't
think, wow, Chris Farley was a special talent.
There's never been anybody like him since. And
I still miss seeing him in movies. What about
semi -annually? So twice a year. Yeah, at least.
Okay, so say that again. Chris Farley's semi
-annually. Yeah, semi -annual. Longing for Farley.
Yeah, I love him too. I miss him. Apparently
this week would have been his 60th birthday one
day this week. You saw that earlier this week.
Wow. Yeah, RIP Chris Farley, man. He was great.
Jim, let's just move clear across the field here.
If I were to come to your house and just start
rummaging through, let's start opening the junk
drawer in your kitchen and I've got some food
that I brought with me and I'm just, you know,
I need a teriyaki packet. I need some Chick -fil
-A sauce. I need some Arby's sauce. What am I
gonna find? Am I gonna find an unopened fortune
cookie? What types of little packets and condiments
might I find? Oh my goodness, uh, we, uh, should
you hit Chick -fil -A? We love their Polynesian.
So there's always a few Polynesians. There's
a couple Chick -fil -A barbecues in there. Um,
I'm not a fan, nor is my wife of the, uh, Chick
-fil -A sauce, which is kind of like a, this
daggum yum yum that they give you at all the
Japanese steak houses now. That's like a mayonnaise
for different things then. I'm not a huge fan
of those. Um, by the way, did you, you know,
Did you just say dad gum like Mater? I did. I
was, you know, I know this is a family. I'm thinking
about my future career in politics. I'm trying
to watch my language. That's right. Dad gum.
That's right. I watch the Cars movies and the
shorts. Anybody listening that's got kids, go
to, if you got the Disney Plus, pull up Cars
and all the shorts with McQueen and Mater. They
are hilarious. I can watch them over and over.
Go ahead. Well, you probably don't have a choice
but to watch them over and over with your young
kids. Let's get back to the condiments. I'm sorry.
Oh yeah, sorry. Excuse me. So yeah, those are
definitely in there. For some reason, does Natalie
just bring home ketchup packets even though you
always have the industrial size bottle of ketchup
in your refrigerator? Natalie I'm like Kelly
we will never need these catch -ups that are
you know that eventually turned so bad that they
burst on their own You know, and then they they
get all over the stuff in the junk drawer like
that single AAA battery or You know a lighter
that you haven't used the 15 years. So well,
you know those catch -up packets are for You're
supposed to have anywhere from 17 to 38 Packets
at any given time on your drunk chore because
you just never know when you don't have a power
outage or something and you've got a sandwich
that you're trying to make and But then again,
what are you putting ketchup on? Yeah, are you
gonna be making a meatloaf for 50 people when
your power goes out? Put the lights out and then
are you gonna cook the meatloaf? Hopefully you
got a gas oven You know, so I think you'll be
happy you had the 17 to 38 ketchup packets Because
that's literally the only reason you would need
those that's it Are you talking about we've never
even made meatloaf? And you're talking about
methodically tearing the little corners off of
each individual packet Which never happens never
happens the whole Dad gum side of the catch -up
packet rips off It never just comes off nice
and neat Let me ask you then you try to squeeze
them out and it gets on your hands Yeah, go ahead
when you get ready to open a packet whatever
sauce it is Do you take it by you know with your
thumb and your finger? Do you take it at the
edge and just start flapping it around before
you? You got to work all that catch up to the
opposite end of the No, I don't. I'm not a flapper.
I just, I just hold one. I hold the top kind
of in the center and with one hand and then use,
you know, my pointer finger and thumb on the
other hand and just gently slide them down to
catch up. So I move pre -opening, I'm going to
slide all the ketchup to the bottom of the packet.
And that seems to be a much more. practical way
to get that ketchup down without just whapping
it around because you know if you can lose you
could already have grease from the burger on
your hands and sling that packet you know put
somebody's eye out and you're getting sued and
your family's out on the street because you don't
have a house to live in you know because you're
whapping your ketchup packet. You know think
about uh speaking of let's just keep this on
um food dining that category. What does it sound
like when you're out to eat with the family or
just you and Kelly and I know you're nice to
the servers we used to work in the industry but
your food comes out and it's man it's just way
off the mark. It's either the wrong entree or
it's got the stuff on it that you asked not to
be on there. What does it sound like when you're
talking to that that server and say hey excuse
me hey Steve or whoever it is. Well, yeah, I
mean that first time, you know, I'll say Steve.
Hey, you know this It has to be something pretty
dang drastic like I'm trying to think about the
last time I sent something back Do you do you
take the both hands and point? Kind of with your
your palms up and point at the plate and say
What is this? This isn't what I ordered. Yeah,
just Okay, you said you give that pause there
because otherwise they'll be like it's chicken
fingers and french fries And then you know before
any of that I'm sitting there trying to serve
especially my wife Every time y 'all hurry up
with the order take forever, you know, so No,
I mean I said stuff the main thing I've sent
stuff back for is literally like these people
that accidentally bring you the totally wrong
dish, you know? Yeah. I don't usually, and one
time, oh man, we went, you know, there's, I don't
know how it is down there, but up here, I think
there's more Mexican restaurants per capita than
anywhere else in the world. We went to this one
and I don't want to call them out because they
may be one of your sponsors one day, but it was
just the worst Mexican food. I could eat Mexican
up here every day of the week because there's
so much variety and they're all usually good,
you know? It's hard to find a bad Mexican food.
restaurant but this one I went to they literally
the beans were ice cold and they you know asked
for corn tortillas with these tacos they brought
me flour tortillas another big pet peeve of mine
god this has got to be ribbony who's driving
in the car and I'm just going yeah uh -huh and
and and you know but uh speaking of Mexican I'm
real particular with my fajitas I like My vegetables
burnt almost I do not want my fajita vegetables
to come out like they've just been chopped and
you know Lightly placed on the skillet and you
know, I want them to have sat there for a while
the char on them So I have sent back the heat
of vegetables and Kelly's Rolled her eyes at
me for doing that, but they're expensive man,
you know, so they are I like it the way I like
it Well, I like what you say you a char guy.
Are you a do you a char guy on your vegetables
when you get fajitas? Yes, absolutely Well, I
don't order fajitas very often, but I know what
you're saying about you can always tell if you're
at a Good Mexican restaurant That's authentic
they know what they're doing all you got to do
is Take a bite of the beans or a bite of the
rice and that'll tell you everything you need
to know when your food comes out Get get a fork
or spoonful of that first. Let's just say you're
ordering a burrito or chimichanga or whatever
That's the test for me. Absolutely. If you folks
listen and take anything away from this episode,
it's that. Listen to Dan right there. Try the
beans and rice to know if you're in the right
Mexican place. Now, Jeb, you're a or have been
a traveling man. You like to be on the road or
I think so. When you're out there, whether it's
for work or you've got the family, you're going
somewhere. Do you ever just spend Half an hour
where you say that's it. I'm done with the music.
I'm done with the podcast I'm just gonna listen
to the sound of the highway Outside of the window
here. I'm just gonna sit and think and Or do
you do you always have something kind of playing
and going I usually do yeah I mean, you'd have
to be a psychopath to want to do that. No, so
I've never, no, I don't mean I could probably
do that for 12 seconds before I had to put something
on. Unfortunately, I wish I could, I wish I could
do that. Jim, I feel like, and I'm guilty of
this, but I feel like that we think we're, we're
wasting time or we're not using all of this available
time if we're not. plugged in listening to something
reading something scrolling at something like
just the It's a little easier to do when you're
driving to just say, okay I'm gonna take about
five minutes here and just drive but but especially
if you're just sitting somewhere in public It
just kind of feels like well, I got about five
minutes before my tables ready or I got I'm here,
but my dentist office I got a few minutes before
they call me. I better like check all the scores
scan through my email, scan through my social
media. Do you feel like we're mostly at that
place now? Yes. You know, my 83 year old father,
it was hard of hearing, but that doesn't mean
his brain doesn't work. He goes for these, he
calls them his jaunts because, you know, he traveled
as a bivocational part -time pastor. He would
just on Sundays for 50 years drive through a
church that usually was a long way away from
where we live. So. since he's retired and now
on Sundays he goes gets in his car by himself
because he's a widower and just drives from his
apartment, you know, in Lubbock and just heads
outside of Lubbock, Texas and kind of just drives
in a big circle just wherever the wind takes
him. And he doesn't listen to anything. He drove
all the way from here to Lubbock in a rental
vehicle without anything. You know, I was like,
Dad, you want to take a CD player? We could put
a CD in there. Nope. So I have no idea. It's
just a totally different generation and. I do
find it kind of sad that I can't. You know, it's
even harder for folks younger than us to, you
know, just sit with their thoughts or sit in
silence. I mean, it's it's really hard for me,
so I can't imagine what it's going to be like
for our kids and I'm envious of him. He's able
to do that. Hopefully one day. Get back to something
like that. That is a long be that just when you
turn 83, you don't give a crap anymore, you know
But that is a ways to go what Birmingham to Lubbock
is how many hours like about 15 15 hours driving.
No talk radio No music Does he like to stop and
you know eat at a diner or He probably stopped
one time and got like a bag of peanuts. He eats
like a bird. I'm sure you're aware that's the
key to long life is just not to eat anything
because the fatter you are the sooner you die.
Do you remember the ice storm we had up here
about 10 years ago? I think you were already
down in Pensacola. Yes, yeah, we had our version
of it and it was pretty bad, but it wasn't as
bad as Birmingham, Atlanta, Nashville. Him and
my mom had just moved here to Birmingham, and
he was out. He was down Highway 280. There are
condos right off Highway 31 and Interstate 65
right there in Vestavia, the Vestavia -Hoover
line. So when I started, he was, you know, about
10 minutes away in normal traffic. He didn't
get home for 14 hours. Candies that were in his
glove box didn't sleep Would move a little bit,
but then we get stopped or another truck But
he didn't just park on the side of the road or
try to walk He kept moving the whole time, but
it took him 14 hours He said it took him as long
as it did to get to Lubbock to get to his condo
here So he didn't eat anything and he used the
bag that his candies were in to pee into get
out of here Yeah, he's a survivor man, and that's
when he was you know 70 74. So it's just a different
generation. That's true for words. Now, didn't
you say your dad's a big Dallas Cowboys fan?
He is bored. Will he engage in the text messages
with with you on the games or after the games?
A little I don't bring it. I bring it up when
they win, but he's even more. How do you say
it? He is not a super fan. He loves them. He
loves reading about them, but he gets really
upset when they lose. Uh, so I don't ever talk
about that with him. Um, he was here visiting
recently. I think it was the first Cowboys game
I'd watched with him in person where they lost
and God knows how long he was the former preacher.
Like I said, kind of, you know, cussing up the
storm, yelling at the top of his lung, not top
of his lungs, but just obviously upset with the
performance of the Cowboys. But, you know, he's
last on. Again, I know people in their cars are
just, this is gripping, but he became a cheese
fan when they drafted Mahomes because Mahomes
went to Texas Tech. And you know where Texas
Tech is? Love it. That's right. So because he's
a Red Raider, my dad liked him. So that's given
him some, some comfort with the total ineptitude
of the Cowboys these past few years. I'm just,
I always find myself amazed at your father and
the stories that you share. And I think when
you said that he takes these drives, at one time,
maybe this was a few years ago, you said that
he emails you and your siblings. How does he
describe it? He shares the itinerary or the...
Yeah, just random thoughts. And I save everyone
he sends now just so I can share them with my
kids, my daughter. It's like, uh, dear children,
here's where I, uh, commuted today. Wow. And
I, and I'm, I mean, I'm like really, uh, impressed
with the way that he goes about some of these
excursions. Would you like to hear one? Absolutely.
I'll give you a little breakdown. So he says,
hello. My drive this PM was a bit unusual in
that I made a mistaken assumption and ended up
about five miles into New Mexico. That highway
that runs the Texas New Mexico border, number
769, I think, dead end south of number 114, which
I had taken from Lubbock. I had forgotten that
number 595 takes over at number 125. At any rate,
I got turned around and went north on 595. over
some actual dirt road to where it dead ends at
54. Since that was what I'd been looking for,
I turned back east at that point. I might say
that west of Morton people are really even scarce
during that west Texas in general. There weren't
many habitations or buildings of any kind. I
stayed on 54 until I turned north on 37, somewhere
around Enos. I then stayed on 37 through Amherst,
Filton, and good old Cotton Center, all the way
to I -27, just south of Hailston. There I turned
south on 127 for Lubbock. He also likes to tell
us about the wildlife that he saw. It was a bad
day for wildlife. I didn't see any alive, but
I did see two dead coyotes, one dead skunk, and
a dead jackrabbit. It was sort of sad. So that's
pretty much the gist of these emails that he
sent. Oh, goodness. Jim. People tuning in today,
I'm sorry. I mean, I laugh, we laugh, but you've
got quite a treasure of an old man. He is from
a different era. He doesn't, in no way is he
self -conscious about his ways. Nor should he
be. I just, I love that. I do too. I hope to
be that age one day. Be at that point in his
life and just break it down to this is what I
Mean all the directional information and the
highways It's just real matter -of -fact I like
that. There is so much drama and nonsense in
our days and the conversations you overhear from
people that are shouting at each other and yelling
at each other and picking at each other and It's
just so much of that garbage out there that we
either deal with directly or indirectly. And
God bless your old man. Amen. He's a treasure
and just a very unique dude. But I don't make
them like that anymore. No, no. Jim, are you
a... I don't know if we'll spend a lot of time
on this question. I don't even know why I advanced
it here, but Do you clear the lint screen every
time on the dryer or every other time? Absolutely.
Absolutely Mainly because wasn't it your apartment
building where a dryer caught on fire because
somebody didn't they didn't click people weren't
cleaning the lip Yeah, I mean that's it's it's
a good habit to maintain but you really ought
to get your Your ducks cleaned at least I think
it should be once a year now. We're I'm way behind
I'm not saying this like I'm on top of it, but
it's a good practice if you If you know a reliable
Contractor in your area that does duck and vent
cleaning It's money well spent It is great. Are
you planning for a future sponsor right there?
You're gonna drop in so call, you know Johnson
and Johnson No, but I do want us I do want to
shout out this was a week four or five guests
that I feel like some of those early early guests
are just Maybe forgotten maybe not but Dan Deetson
this guy was and is a very interesting fellow
Someone I'm glad to call a contact. We're not
close friends, but You know, his company does
leak detection, and particularly for high rise
buildings. So if you missed that episode, I really
haven't had another episode like that, but I've
always welcomed anyone that's running a business,
has a product, has an invention. What was that
commercial with the guy, with the caveman and
the wheel? And it said, Hey, have you got an
idea or an invention? Call 1 -800 - They always
come off late at night. Yeah, or while in the
middle of the day when you're sitting at Firestone.
That's like a Jerry Springer commercial. But
yeah, Enco Electronics. I haven't, like I said,
I kind of moved on from that to really a lot
of musicians. I enjoy those episodes. I hope
people listening do as well. But yeah, Jim, how
about also speaking about dryers? Let's talk
more about turners, yeah. Yeah, if you use a
nice fabric softener, are you ever doing some
laundry in the house and then you're also doing
some yard work at the same time and so you're
out there around the dryer vent and you just
get that nice gain or tide fragrance that's kind
of like coming at you as you're cutting the grass
or getting ready to. Yeah. Do you like that?
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I love it. I don't know,
you know, if I get the hankering, I'll cut the
mower off, take the headphones off, and, you
know, luckily, you've got to be in the right
position, but most dryer vents are, I think they,
to be up to code, they have to be about a foot
and a half off the ground, which is just enough.
I have to get your head under there, you know,
and I'll just lay there with the dryer vent blowing
on my face and maybe get a little bit of lint
here and there, but it's really soothing. Soothing
retreat for me from the day to day and you know
mowing a lawn. Nobody wants to do that And you
have like the the the three louver air wash over
me, huh? Do you have those three little louvers
that flap as the dryer is blowing out that air?
They keep the bugs out. No, I just have the old
-school. I guess there's one giant round slap,
you know in there It's always hard for me to
see when I'm under there and you like have my
eyes closed anyway, just because it's more relaxing
But yeah, that's a good question. No, I don't
have the three The three flaps that seems to
be a beach thing. I see there's a lot of beach
comments That seems to be the way to go. Maybe
it's a sand issue or something Jim let's move
it along here how about What's your favorite
thing to do? When it's Tuesday night the Super
Bowl is over Baseball hasn't started. He's just
sitting there What do you want to watch? Oh?
Gosh Well, I guess it what there's NBA. I'm forgetting
a lot of stuff. I don't watch a lot. No, you're
not Yeah, you don't well you get three kids under
five right or right out of the five so you don't
have a lot of fun You know what? It's just I
think we might have talked about this before
There's such a glut of things that I would like
to watch. It's almost like I get overwhelmed
and so I just go to YouTube and watch some of
my favorite, you know, YouTube channels. Or if
I find a show that I really like and latch on
to, I'll do that. But I'm not, I am not an NBA
guy. I miss the NBA of the 80s and the 90s, which
is, to me was this golden era. I miss team basketball,
but I do love college basketball. So if there's
a college basketball game on that I'd like to
watch on a Tuesday, I'll watch that. Auburn usually
plays on Wednesday evening. So that takes up
my Wednesdays. But man, if it's a Tuesday, that's
tough. It is a little bit of a struggle because
during football season you got Monday, Thursday,
Saturday, Sunday covered. So yeah, that's hard,
man. But I love documentaries too. So I'll scour
all the streaming services for a documentary
I might not have seen yet. You mentioned, well,
I just want to ask you, going back, because we're
old enough, the original dream team. 1992. dream
team who is your favorite player from that cast
at the time or now other now that i look back
at it yeah let's say then and now and well you
can say christian latner that's he is he can
he's been my one he'd be my one a um but i would
say you know at the time i I kind of wanted to
butt the trend of being a bandwagon or a front
runner. So I love Jordan. I thought he was awesome.
But because everybody else liked Jordan, I kind
of dug Clyde Drexler from the trailblazers. Clyde
the Glide. Who I think would have been Jordan,
you know, he had a lot of the same skills that
Jordan had and brought that, you know, above
the rim and crazy athletic dunks and especially
like, you know, driving under the basket and
shooting, you know, throwing layups up with your
left hand. He was very much a Jordan -esque player,
but he's a phenomenal player. He's on the dream
team But he just you know people don't ever talk
about him or remember him but he was absolutely
my favorite because I love the trailblazers uniforms
and His name was Clyde the glide. I mean, it
was awesome. So he was my favorite back then
but as the time has gone by I just love Charles
Barkley, you know, I mean He's probably my favorite
player of all time But a lot of that's his post
NBA career. I just love seeing him on inside
the NBA and everything he does And you know everything
else besides his playing career, which is great,
too I know yours was Patrick Ewing right was
Patrick Ewing on my dream team. Absolutely Yeah
that You know, I still talk every once in a while
about those old Knicks Bulls Eastern Conference
Finals Memories and best, you know, they got
the Knicks were so close Mm -hmm had their chance,
but yeah Ewing is my all -time favorite Charles
Barkley if you live in Birmingham long enough
and maybe for a period of time you were out late
at night sometimes or worked in restaurants Some
of us ran into him I got to see him a long long
time ago. I was working at TGI Fridays I Didn't
get to talk to him, but he had a large party
in the restaurant, and then I did get to meet
him one night at a bar late at night and he just
popped in. I mean, there was a band playing and
I won't say where it was, but I got to just shake
hands with him. No autograph, no picture. And
one thing I asked him, because I think at that
time, Patrick Ewing was still angling for an
NBA head coaching job. And he had just been passed
over. I forget which opening it was. And so I
asked Charles about that. I said, what do you
think about Ewing you think he'll you think he
should have gotten? That particular job. I really
don't remember exactly how I phrased it, but
I think he appreciated that I brought up his
friend Patrick and But Ewing, you know if you
look at his high school career his college career
the champion he won championships at that level
and Did just about all he could do for the Knicks,
you know, John Starks was fantastic. They were
a great combination and of course Oakley and
Remember Charles Smith Yeah, Anthony Mason, I
mean they had some good teams but The Bulls were
just unstoppable Yeah, and that combination of
Jordan and that's it Mm -hmm Just makes me think
of like NBA Jam. Did you ever play that love
that game? Yeah with the top two players from
every team and they They couldn't include Pippen.
It had to be Jordan and BJ Armstrong. Because
Pippen, or maybe it was Pippen and BJ Armstrong.
But they couldn't have Pippen and Jordan because
it just wouldn't be fair to all the 31 other
teams. Even though one of them had Stockton and
Malone. I always liked whoever the big man was
on most teams. Or if I didn't like him, like
on the Bulls there for a few years, Bill Cartwright.
Oh yeah, not the most dominating force, but he
was a pretty good player. He was, he did what
needed to be done. Bill Carr, right? Luke Long.
Purdue. Bill Winnington, don't forget big Bill
Winnington, the other bill from the Bulls, right?
But yeah, it's just, I mean, I could, we could
sit here and name 19 late eighties, nineties
basketball players. And I could probably name
you five guys that play in the NBA now. And I
definitely couldn't tell you what team most of
them play on. Same with baseball, man. I mean,
I guess everything's romanticized when you're
that age, just like music and sports. But man,
I feel like the NFL's a lot better than it was
back then. That might have something to do with
the NFL's overwhelming popularity. Yeah, I think
the NFL I mean because remember in the 90s and
even up to about 2000 or 102 you're not watching
this product on Flat -screen TVs. It was just
a totally different viewing experience back then
and same with baseball people love watching baseball
on TV now Who would never watch it who always
I remember when I used to love, you know I watched
the Cubs you and I did would watch them through
the 90s It's hard to remember what that experience
exactly you know if you were to sit in front
of an old tube again Wasn't that bad for me,
but I knew what they were talking about when
they said baseball is boring to watch on TV I'd
rather just be there and some people still maintain
that It's pretty exciting to watch it now if
you're watching a high stakes game a playoff
game Guys there's one sport that I have to see
in person in space. I watch the Cubs on TV But
that's about the only Major League Baseball watch
until the playoffs in the World Series. And even
then, I don't really watch much. Baseball is
just such a better in -person game. I think that's
part of why its popularity nationwide has declined
is because now that we are all in front of screens,
exactly like you're saying, the NFL is a better
TV product, whereas Major League Baseball is
a better in -person product. So, but everybody
wants to be in front of their screens, you know,
nobody wants to interact. That's with the weather.
How's that for coming full circle and you know
and Prices and stuff like that. So I mean baseball
can still be exciting, but I think it's very
much a Spectator sport and then you need to be
sitting in the stands for it to be enjoyed for
me personally Jim let's talk a minute here about
the gimme 10 podcast Folks again, that's G I
M M I E the number 10 podcast I love the reboot.
I mean, of course I do because we're such great
friends, but how is this? How are you enjoying
it? It was like a couple of years or 18 months
or so that you guys put this on the shelf. Well,
we, I, we enjoyed it both of us for several months,
but like any relationship, unfortunately, I'd
still love people to go to listen to the episodes
that are there. we're retiring again the gimme
10 podcast that just um you know love jt we get
it has nothing to do with our relationship outside
of the pod it's just you know if you want to
grow something it takes a certain amount of effort
and that's not an effort that we're willing to
put into it we'd much rather just uh shoot the
breeze here and there but we realize we don't
need to record ourselves talking Once a week
we can do that without a microphone and not have
to schedule it stuff stuff It was really fun
while it lasted. I love doing it. I like I said
to you I love hearing myself talk so I'll miss
having that outlet every week But ever and I
my daughter didn't want we've done one episode
and hope to do more. It's called talking stuff
I think we're about the 17th podcast called that
but if I can figure out a way to link it I'll
send it to you if you want to add it to your
show notes, but Yeah, me and my 10 -year -old
daughter have done one podcast. We hope to do
a couple more in the future about probably mostly
TV, movies, stuff like that that we're both interested
in because we're watching Lemony Snicket's A
Series of Unfortunate Events on Netflix right
now. So we'll probably do a recap of that down
the road. But yeah, as for Gimme Ten, we're done
again. Never say never on another episode. But
yeah, you need to have JT on. He's a phenomenal
guy. Way more interesting than I am and especially
way more knowledgeable about music you guys I
would love to hear you guys shoot the breeze
about music for a while Well, oh gosh, I gotta
say I am sad that it has come to a conclusion
probably a final conclusion here, but maybe maybe
it just makes sense, but you always have the
body of work and Again, I'm always happy to This
may be the last plug I put in for it because
people they'll hear they'll hear me talking about
give me ten on previous episodes so Go in and
check it out the I always appreciate And I'm
trying to get there. Maybe that's something I'm
trying to do on this episode. You guys just let
it fly Not a lot of attention to the sound quality
Especially the early episodes. Yeah a lot of
snap crackling and popping up. Well, it sounded
like even though we're in the same room, like
we're recording from two different ends of the
house. Yeah, it was. But, you know, I try to
make this a decent production and but there are
times where I'm thinking just just put it out
there, just publish it. Yeah, absolutely. Say
again, the name of the podcast that you and ever
have. Oh, it's just there's one episode and it's
called talking stuff. Talking stuff. P -A -L
talking, but no G -T -A -L -K -I -N apostrophe
or hyphen. What's the one in the air? That's
an apostrophe. Well, I'm really happy that there's
a father -daughter episode, even if it's just
gonna be one. I think it's really cool that you're
doing that. Yeah, I'm excited about it, too.
There will be more. They'll just be very sporadic,
but anybody that would love for people to go
listen to it, she'd be thrilled to see that.
Somebody listen to besides just us Jim I always
like when I see you the different threads that
you're wearing different shirts that you got
let me ask you this is The Mickey Mouse shirt
the Superman shirt shirt Cleveland Browns. There's
one are some of those still in rotation The Mickey
Mouse is yes Superman long gone. That was a great
one though, but I way out grew that one , and
aging and belly and the belly that comes with
it and you know prolific beer drinking. I've
noticed that these new like everybody has an
Old Navy your finer clothe years around Old Navy
Target. They have these kind of they're like
sports shirts you know that so they you know
a cotton t -shirt if you ever know well you don't
notice them because you're not overweight but
like a cotton t -shirt even if it fits you good
on the chest if you got a belly it pokes out
so it looks even bigger like more moomoo like
because it doesn't then go around your belly
and back in towards your waist you know they
just kind of hang out these new athletic shirts
they kind of go around your belly and then because
the way they hang they then go back in some you
know so i've noticed that a lot of those og t
-shirts they just make you look make me look
like i'm wearing a moomoo so big fan of your
you know 1399 probably 95 polyester Shirts and
they're breathable because I'm hot all the time
Do you have the t -shirts that you know that
hug the guns that really? you know when you're
out there to really show off the The definition
and the guns there. Oh, yeah Yeah, the first
thing when I bring them home is I get Kelly to
cut out about an inch out of the arms so they're
just so tight around my biceps my pythons and
Then you know the rest that takes people dies
away from the aforementioned belly Oh Dan I love
your questions Jim what's something we got to
wrap this up or just over the hour mark, but
What's something around the house what's your
record talk? I think we should just you know
talk about more laundry detergent talk or dryer
vent I'm sitting here looking at the the timer
63 minutes and usually when I'm tipping over
the hour mark, you know, that's too much Well,
no, it's usually means that we've had a great
discussion with this particular artist about
their catalog and Where they're gonna be performing
next and it's just like wow, this has been going
pretty well But I'm looking at the hour mark
here 63 minutes. I'm thinking we have been talking
about ketchup packets and Dryer vents. My dad,
your dad. I mean the dad. Father County Road
51 in West Texas. I think that might be my initial
favorite segment of this episode. Anytime you
have me on, I'll read you a new every time that
can be my segment. I'll read you where my dad's
been in West Texas. Let me ask you this. We're
on the Gulf Coast here. We deal with the storms.
We also deal with the tornadoes and stuff and
that's a real threat in Birmingham and there's
ice storms and stuff when you've got inclement
weather on the way and it's looking pretty bad
and you and Kelly got to make that that run down
to Costco or wherever you shop are you Engaging
in the panic buying or to some extent. Are you
saying shoot? We better get about four loaves
here or we need to get two extra cartons of this
or Do you do a little bit of that or do you just
say? Hey, let's just Take it easy. I mean, yeah,
I make sure we have a couple frozen pizzas Maybe
a loaf of bread always don't have to worry about
ketchup on my turkey sandwiches because we got
plenty of packets for that You know some ground
beef if we need to make a meatloaf in case the
power goes out But no, I'm not ever really concerned
about any of that stuff usually That'll probably
come back to bite me one day, but I think a good
thing to do is just Buy things like during hurricane
season down here. I just get a little bit extra
of certain stuff Not to stockpile that's very
smart So that when that day comes that week comes
you can focus on other other things Yeah, you
don't want this and you especially because this
is a pockets you want to put out there that you
buy, you know 14 Bags of you know 30 pack toilet
paper because people will be looting your house
because they'll have heard you talk about them
here. They'll be coming for you for that toilet
paper. Speaking again about the weather. I love
how you just immediately, you don't even want
to keep going down that road. You just change
the subject, don't you? Well, let me ask, are
you? There's not a whole lot to go on. There's
no more to go on with that. Go ahead. Speaking
of the weather. All right. I was going to ask,
are you a Charmin guy? Are you a double? Double
ply, what is it? Double stuffed Oreo. Does it
matter to you? I don't want to use Oreos for
that, but yeah, I do like, it does matter. I
don't want one ply. How do you like it when you're,
I don't know, if you've been to the airports
or other public restrooms. And it's just that
time, okay? You're in the stall, you're doing
what you need to be doing, and you're reaching
for the toilet paper. It is the worst paper -thin,
just budget toilet paper. Maybe airport's not
a good example, but a business, a restaurant
or something. You're thinking, really? Really?
This is the best we can do? It's tearing off
as I'm trying to pull it down the roll. You're
putting me through this. Oh, like who makes the
toilet paper dispensers that are literally a
nano smidgen bigger than the toilet paper roll
itself so when you go to pull a piece you can't
even pull a whole piece because they're in there
so tight. Like who does that? Make the dispenser
a little bit larger than the toilet paper roll
itself so that it rolls freely. Otherwise you
end up with like sixty little, you know, four
inch porno squares all over the ground. Do you
ever have to Tear off or begin the tear on a
new role in a public restroom well, and you grab
like Multiple layers and then you start like
pulling a big chunk like that off Let's move
it along what was the All right the weather Jim
I unless I absolutely have to Well, I turn all
my notifications off. I don't need it. I don't
want it. I don't take many I don't take many
shots at People or entities, but I am I really
just about had it with the weather business.
Whoa Whoa They just they're making money off
of Constantly frightening people for no reason.
It's you know rain is coming our way You ever
go to like weather calm and there's always it
could be Just a beautiful spell in the middle
of October and they've got this ominous warning
about what they don't get too comfortable folks
next week We've got this system moving. Well,
we always have a system moving in so I just got
I'm done with it and if I Need to read about
something then pull it up that morning Absolutely.
Well you get the warnings and here. Here's another
thing if you live in a house with more than just
yourself some other people have cell phones in
that house so you're going to get those severe
weather tornado warning alerts on somebody else's
phone that's going to wake you up or yeah so
that's my piece on that yeah i'll tell you what
dan when i become president i will abolish weather
warnings i'm sure that would go over well with
everybody just for you Don't get me wrong. There's
there are times where you need to have a plan
in place You've got to get to your safe spot
and terrible weather does strike it does I Think
you're right. It's just they wear you out with
the the day -to -day stuff Turn yeah, I turn
a lot of alerts off It can be very distracting
Yeah, I just don't allow anything to send me
notifications. I don't have to worry about it
Jim one last question on any old Old music you're
listening to right now. Oh, i've gotten into
um The band a good bit so we love uh up on crip
and creek atlantic city I've gotten into a little
bit of warren zevon lately. I think he's great
Nice old country. I think last time we spoke
I was telling you about how it was in the wayland
jennings, but i've Listened a little bit of toby
keith r .i .p Um the past couple weeks Yeah Just
one that he's passed. I'm not a huge fan of his
overall, but some of those songs, it's fun to
listen to once or twice. Well, I will say real
quick about Toby Keith. It's really easy to just
put him aside. I didn't pay a lot of attention
to him, say the last 12, 15 plus years. I just,
I don't know. I like what he was doing the late
90s, early 2000s. And this is, it's not political
stance or anything I just It wasn't substantive
enough for me but some of the I love this bar
and the beer for my horses and Dream walking
and those types of songs back then that was fun.
I was 22 23 And he actually had a he had a really
good voice at least back then But even his image
and the caricature that people who didn't like
his music imagine him to be completely. Oh, he's
totally in this box. He really wasn't quite what
you thought he was. You have to you have to look
at some of these performers and realize that.
I think he wrote the lyrics of the courtesy of
the red, white and blue, supposedly on a beverage
napkin. And it was after 9 -11 and he was red
hot about it. And, you know, a lot of us. had
pretty strong feelings. And so that, that takes
off and that, that kind of changes his brand.
And so what do you do when you're just, you're
holding onto that rocket and up you go, why would
you, you're just going to double down on that.
So that's how he made his money. And that's the
way I look at it, but. Well, and I didn't even
really think about that should have been a cowboy
was from 93. I just always kind of I forget about
that song and that it was him and and he brought
up on my Spotify He wrote those lyrics to a lot
of those artists country artists They sing them.
I mean Jason Aldean. I don't know if he writes
he might write some of his music, but Yeah, Toby
Keith wrote a lot of the lyrics Yeah, and he
I just you don't realize that his career didn't
start with 9 -eleven He was you know, making
hit songs in plus years before that almost Yeah.

Yvonne stuff a little bit. I've gotten into him
some. Well, I was hoping you might maybe sing
us out with a... Oh, I should have been a cowboy.
Should have learned to run an open ride. That's
not really singing though. That's like me imitating
him singing. Is that going to have to get cut
too? I don't think you give yourself enough credit.
I think you need to find someone to record you.
Get some studio time booked. Okay, I'll do it.

podcast equipment. We'll make it that way. Send
out some demo tapes. Well, and this has been
