WEBVTT

00:00:03.939 --> 00:00:08.380
All right, welcome back. Welcome to episode number

00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:11.759
20 -something. I'm trying not to keep track,

00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:16.219
but we're starting to scratch our way to the

00:00:16.219 --> 00:00:19.579
30th episode. They all said this couldn't be

00:00:19.579 --> 00:00:23.539
done. They all said it'll never work, it'll never

00:00:23.539 --> 00:00:28.199
last. They... Look, honestly, I don't know who

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:30.359
they are, but that's what they were thinking.

00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.520
And I don't have to prove that to anybody, but...

00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:37.719
Uh, anyway, here we are. What, um, what a day,

00:00:38.020 --> 00:00:39.939
what an occasion. I have been looking forward

00:00:39.939 --> 00:00:44.619
to this for, well, let's just say months. Um,

00:00:45.020 --> 00:00:48.859
here we are, uh, middle of February, mid to late

00:00:48.859 --> 00:00:52.799
February and the Dan time podcast. Let me go

00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:54.539
ahead and just, I'm all over the place today.

00:00:54.899 --> 00:00:57.320
I'm your host Dan McCardell. You're listening

00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.689
to the Dan time podcast. For those of you who

00:01:00.689 --> 00:01:02.429
have been listening for a while or you jumped

00:01:02.429 --> 00:01:05.090
on a few weeks ago and you know, I kind of like

00:01:05.090 --> 00:01:07.689
where this thing is going and Today you might

00:01:07.689 --> 00:01:11.230
be thinking what is this? He's all over the place.

00:01:11.750 --> 00:01:16.650
He's This is a mess. Well This is what we do

00:01:16.650 --> 00:01:20.189
when this is what I do when I bring back somebody

00:01:20.189 --> 00:01:24.109
like today's guest Jim Powell before I get any

00:01:24.109 --> 00:01:25.709
further everyone know you've pulled up the show

00:01:25.709 --> 00:01:28.120
notes or you see it, you're driving and you see

00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.939
who the guest is. Yes, Jim Powell, the one and

00:01:31.939 --> 00:01:37.140
only. Jimmy, he is back today after a near five

00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:41.019
month absence. Sounds like a long time, but let's

00:01:41.019 --> 00:01:45.239
remember he helped me launch this podcast, this

00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:50.079
project, Jim, not a Dan, but a Jim. And there's

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:51.879
a story behind that. Go back and listen to that

00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:54.500
episode. If you're not familiar, I brought him

00:01:54.500 --> 00:01:57.640
right back. about seven weeks later or after

00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.459
the seventh episode for a bonus episode. Don't

00:02:01.459 --> 00:02:04.599
know why I needed him that quickly. I think I

00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:09.340
just, you know, I felt some magic. I always feel

00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:13.020
a comfort level with this man, this friend of

00:02:13.020 --> 00:02:18.419
mine. And but then the show's been moving along

00:02:18.419 --> 00:02:22.300
and there's been no reason to go back to that

00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:25.849
well until today. until today and we'll get into

00:02:25.849 --> 00:02:30.449
the reasons why, how, and why it's necessary.

00:02:31.210 --> 00:02:35.610
But Jim, first of all, let me just ask you, how

00:02:35.610 --> 00:02:39.610
about this weather we're having? Let's, how about

00:02:39.610 --> 00:02:44.009
this weather? Not how you doing, not how's everything

00:02:44.009 --> 00:02:47.629
been the past five months. Let's talk about this

00:02:47.629 --> 00:02:51.580
fricking weather. I mean, I'll get right to the

00:02:51.580 --> 00:02:53.319
weather, but first of all, I don't know if you

00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.939
can hear blushing through the phone, but always

00:02:55.939 --> 00:03:00.300
just these glowing intros that I get. It's just

00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:04.240
such an uplift. It's always a pleasure to give

00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.900
the call, you know, to the bullpen to be your,

00:03:07.939 --> 00:03:10.240
I wouldn't say closer, but middle relief guy

00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.699
when you need somebody to get you through to

00:03:12.699 --> 00:03:15.139
those later innings. And so, you know, just happy

00:03:15.139 --> 00:03:18.860
to be here and the weather is cold. It's gray,

00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:21.460
but I don't know if you're speaking about today's

00:03:21.460 --> 00:03:24.180
weather because today is cold but for the past

00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:27.199
week it's been unseasonably warm it's felt like

00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:31.659
so the weather has been you know alabama -ish

00:03:31.659 --> 00:03:34.639
i would say what's it like down there and uh

00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:39.900
and uh the panhandle it's cold it's misty it's

00:03:39.900 --> 00:03:43.719
rainy uh but i was gonna say no matter no matter

00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.780
where you are the weather is always an important

00:03:49.060 --> 00:03:56.259
piece of Yes, it is a piece it is very important

00:03:56.259 --> 00:03:59.780
whether it is important if we didn't have weather

00:03:59.780 --> 00:04:02.539
might live on Mars or something like that and

00:04:02.539 --> 00:04:06.000
that would be very Inconvenient for everybody.

00:04:06.139 --> 00:04:08.740
Well, I'll just say this Jim. I don't think there's

00:04:08.740 --> 00:04:11.159
atmosphere there. So we'd be in trouble Well,

00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.639
whether it isn't you know, whether you like it

00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:23.139
or not The reason I brought that up and it's

00:04:23.139 --> 00:04:25.240
a very important question how about this whether

00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.379
we're having In that sequence and because we're

00:04:29.379 --> 00:04:32.420
men of a certain age and that's how we open discussions

00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:36.459
We run into someone we go to a an event or a

00:04:36.459 --> 00:04:40.240
work Gathering or lunch and you bump into someone

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.259
you're you're putting your your plate together

00:04:43.259 --> 00:04:48.500
from the little Nukes line or whatever the hot

00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:50.920
plate. You know, you've been to those things,

00:04:50.939 --> 00:04:53.779
right? You've worked for companies or belong

00:04:53.779 --> 00:04:55.980
to the club. And hey, how you doing? How you

00:04:55.980 --> 00:04:59.939
doing, Jim? How about this? How about this weather

00:04:59.939 --> 00:05:03.500
we're having? First of all, we don't have weather.

00:05:04.019 --> 00:05:07.360
How about this weather we're experiencing? Uh

00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:11.180
huh. I'd like to move things along very quickly

00:05:11.180 --> 00:05:13.459
here because that that just did not land the

00:05:13.459 --> 00:05:17.199
way I wanted it to. But, uh, Jim. Good effort

00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:21.300
though. I enjoyed it. I just want to say thanks

00:05:21.300 --> 00:05:23.560
for being here. Thanks for answering the call.

00:05:23.620 --> 00:05:26.480
Like you said, you're like that guy, the middle

00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.079
reliever had been sitting in the bullpen. You've

00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.259
been traveling with the team for a few weeks

00:05:30.259 --> 00:05:32.639
now and you haven't pitched in nine days. Let's

00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.920
just say proportionately to when you've appeared

00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.500
last in this podcast and then, uh, and then,

00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:41.839
uh, skip calls for you. What was it like when

00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:46.959
you got the call earlier this week? Oh, just

00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.180
jubilation, you know, when the phone rings, first

00:05:50.180 --> 00:05:53.600
of all, you and your brother and one other friend

00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.740
of ours, Grant, are about the only people who

00:05:56.740 --> 00:05:58.939
actually still use the telephone feature on their

00:05:58.939 --> 00:06:01.959
cell phones. So anytime the phone rings, I just

00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.040
get giddy. And you probably don't hear my voice

00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.699
because I try so hard to stifle it. But, you

00:06:06.699 --> 00:06:09.839
know, I just love, I love to hear myself talk.

00:06:10.620 --> 00:06:13.300
But really, I just love talking to you. So I

00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:16.850
was excited. and uh always happy to do it and

00:06:16.850 --> 00:06:19.709
I just love um you know listening to your podcast

00:06:19.709 --> 00:06:22.250
day and time speaking of your brother Travis

00:06:22.250 --> 00:06:24.069
it's good to know that I've been on here you

00:06:24.069 --> 00:06:25.990
know multiple times and he still hasn't made

00:06:25.990 --> 00:06:29.149
it on so you know if I could ever get on with

00:06:29.149 --> 00:06:31.410
him that would be the holy grail if he'll come

00:06:31.410 --> 00:06:34.430
on I'll come on with him since he's so scared

00:06:34.430 --> 00:06:38.170
to do it by himself wow I think that's that's

00:06:38.170 --> 00:06:40.569
your that's your that's the shining star that

00:06:40.569 --> 00:06:43.089
you should keep shooting for you know Well, I

00:06:43.089 --> 00:06:44.889
do have an update on that end. So and I haven't

00:06:44.889 --> 00:06:47.310
mentioned it. There's been no reason to the past

00:06:47.310 --> 00:06:50.370
several weeks. But Travis and I have we've been

00:06:50.370 --> 00:06:53.990
in talks. I think I've gotten him to I mean,

00:06:53.990 --> 00:06:59.610
he was way off. He was that wall was up. There

00:06:59.610 --> 00:07:02.930
was no breaking through. He said, thanks. I appreciate

00:07:02.930 --> 00:07:05.189
it. You know, I enjoy listening to the episode

00:07:05.189 --> 00:07:08.250
with Robert, the Halloween special. Oh, great.

00:07:08.709 --> 00:07:12.170
Yeah, he just didn't feel a need to do it. but

00:07:12.170 --> 00:07:15.050
uh we've come a long way uh in our discussion

00:07:15.050 --> 00:07:17.829
so i don't know when he's going to appear but

00:07:17.829 --> 00:07:22.870
it is now at one time it was doubtful then questionable

00:07:22.870 --> 00:07:26.290
oh where it's questionable i would move it to

00:07:26.290 --> 00:07:31.829
now probable probable that my younger brother

00:07:31.829 --> 00:07:35.730
travis will make an appearance well that's i'm

00:07:35.730 --> 00:07:37.750
looking forward to that and until then you know

00:07:37.750 --> 00:07:40.089
i'm always here for you so you just call me anytime

00:07:40.089 --> 00:07:44.040
but You know, the purpose of this podcast, this

00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.879
is not a screw around venture. This is not me

00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:52.519
just, hey, let's bring on all my old buddies,

00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:56.759
my brothers, my uncle, and let's just shoot the

00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:01.540
breeze with no outline or anything. That is not

00:08:01.540 --> 00:08:05.420
what I'm trying to do here. But today we really

00:08:05.420 --> 00:08:08.480
have no structure to this episode. And I got

00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:11.350
to say, it's kind of a welcome relief. I've gone

00:08:11.350 --> 00:08:14.790
a few weeks here. I'm very happy with the guests

00:08:14.790 --> 00:08:17.509
that I put forward. I think they've enjoyed being

00:08:17.509 --> 00:08:21.829
on the show. I hope so. But every once in a while,

00:08:21.829 --> 00:08:23.670
and I've had a lot of changes here in the past

00:08:23.670 --> 00:08:27.569
couple weeks. I'm not gonna talk about what I've

00:08:27.569 --> 00:08:30.589
had going on, but this kind of makes sense right

00:08:30.589 --> 00:08:33.350
now, and luckily you were willing to do it. Let

00:08:33.350 --> 00:08:36.490
me just say, Jim, I was listening, I don't know

00:08:36.490 --> 00:08:39.389
if you ever listened to Fly on the Wall, the

00:08:39.389 --> 00:08:44.419
podcast with. David Spade and Dana Carvey. Oh,

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.379
I have their own. I've never listened to it,

00:08:46.379 --> 00:08:50.419
but I have the the retrospective on Phil Hartman

00:08:50.419 --> 00:08:53.519
recorded, but I just have to listen to it. Check

00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:56.299
that one out. They I think Danny DeVito is either

00:08:56.299 --> 00:09:01.899
the current episode or one or two back. Obviously,

00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.000
Danny DeVito is someone that I would love to

00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.679
have on this show. DeVito Big Dan right there.

00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:12.809
That's a Dan to get, yeah. Absolutely. Now they

00:09:12.809 --> 00:09:15.190
were talking about he's appeared six times on

00:09:15.190 --> 00:09:20.769
SNL. There's the famous five -time club. But

00:09:20.769 --> 00:09:23.950
DeVito, I didn't realize that, has hosted the

00:09:23.950 --> 00:09:28.070
show six times. So you're, you know, similarly,

00:09:29.409 --> 00:09:34.490
it's a prestigious... Absolutely. You can't even

00:09:34.490 --> 00:09:36.289
say it without a chuckle. It is prestigious,

00:09:36.570 --> 00:09:41.679
man. I'm prestiged. I'm prestige. Like I said,

00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:45.259
honored and prestige to be the first three timer

00:09:45.259 --> 00:09:50.919
on the daytime podcast. My name is Jim. That's

00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:55.480
okay. Three letters, one syllable, works. Now,

00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.559
Jim, there is a caveat. This will be an official

00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.679
episode. When I brought you back the second time,

00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:06.460
I thought this cannot be episode number eight.

00:10:06.820 --> 00:10:09.710
He was just here. He just helped He was the first

00:10:09.710 --> 00:10:12.889
one. Let's just make this fun. I think we got

00:10:12.889 --> 00:10:16.549
together to Send some good mojo to the Cubs.

00:10:16.610 --> 00:10:18.690
They were making a playoff run at the time. This

00:10:18.690 --> 00:10:23.629
is September end of September 2023 So I build

00:10:23.629 --> 00:10:26.850
it as a bonus episode. So, you know, let's let's

00:10:26.850 --> 00:10:30.850
be honest here. It's it's kind of like appearance

00:10:30.850 --> 00:10:35.490
number 2 .5. I really don't know what yeah, what's

00:10:35.490 --> 00:10:37.230
your second official appearance and let's just

00:10:37.230 --> 00:10:54.830
say you drew a walk The bonus episode was no

00:10:54.830 --> 00:10:57.730
official at bat. You were there, you reached

00:10:57.730 --> 00:11:03.350
base, but it wasn't a clean hit. Okay, well you

00:11:03.350 --> 00:11:05.909
have your record book, I have mine. This is my

00:11:05.909 --> 00:11:10.519
third pick. And I'm sticking to it. No doubt.

00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.539
I might put that out there as a, you know, you

00:11:13.539 --> 00:11:17.779
can do surveys on X and just sit back and wait

00:11:17.779 --> 00:11:20.940
for the crickets because I think I put it, the

00:11:20.940 --> 00:11:24.240
last time I put a survey out there. I voted.

00:11:24.539 --> 00:11:28.340
You voted. A couple other people pretty close

00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:30.340
to the vest voted and then I think I might be

00:11:30.340 --> 00:11:31.899
throwing a vote too just to make it look like

00:11:31.899 --> 00:11:39.259
we had. Maybe we'll put a question out there.

00:11:40.299 --> 00:11:42.539
Is this Jim's third appearance or is this really

00:11:42.539 --> 00:11:56.259
his second official? I have a lot of stuff I

00:11:56.259 --> 00:11:58.879
want to get to today with you. First of all,

00:11:58.899 --> 00:12:01.399
it is an election year. And I know what people

00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.639
are thinking. Oh my gosh, he's gone this long.

00:12:03.779 --> 00:12:06.179
Now we're going to hear the Trump stuff, the

00:12:06.179 --> 00:12:09.440
Biden stuff. No, you're not. No, you're not.

00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:11.679
It is. It's an election year and it just got

00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:13.460
me thinking. I got a couple of questions here,

00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:18.659
Jim. Well, first of all, I was thinking this

00:12:18.659 --> 00:12:22.440
week about some of my favorite fictional politicians

00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.000
in movies. And I just scratched out a few. You

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.379
might remember one that's not on this list. My

00:12:29.379 --> 00:12:35.769
favorite. of all time, and feel free to laugh

00:12:35.769 --> 00:12:41.389
at my expense here, I gotta go with Al Donnelly

00:12:41.389 --> 00:12:46.129
from Black Sheep, Running for Governor. But I

00:12:46.129 --> 00:12:48.730
also scratched out President James Marshall,

00:12:48.950 --> 00:12:52.529
Air Force One. That might be the tops of most

00:12:52.529 --> 00:12:56.090
people's list, Harrison Ford. Get off my plane.

00:12:56.529 --> 00:13:00.929
Tom Kirkman. Key for Sutherland's Tom Kirkman

00:13:00.929 --> 00:13:03.789
from Designated Survivor Jed Bartlett. Oh, who

00:13:03.789 --> 00:13:06.809
could forget that one? Let me comment on these.

00:13:07.129 --> 00:13:11.470
Key for Sutherland? Who? And what? Well, now

00:13:11.470 --> 00:13:14.309
this wasn't a feature film, but this is, it's

00:13:14.309 --> 00:13:17.950
on Netflix. I think it started on Network TV,

00:13:18.269 --> 00:13:20.389
Designated Survivor. I used to watch this show

00:13:20.389 --> 00:13:24.490
with Natalie. And Key for Sutherland was the

00:13:24.490 --> 00:13:27.960
president? Jim, we've messaged about this, I'm

00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:32.220
pretty sure. You've never heard of Designated

00:13:32.220 --> 00:13:35.620
Survivor? Yes, I've heard of Designated Survivor.

00:13:35.980 --> 00:13:37.899
I think you're the only person in America who

00:13:37.899 --> 00:13:39.799
watched it. I just like giving you grief about

00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.919
it. The list was on fire until then. Alright,

00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:49.279
so Al Donnelly's the governor. I don't have another

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.980
governor on the list, but do you have a favorite

00:13:51.980 --> 00:13:55.370
movie portrayal of... a president, a governor,

00:13:55.549 --> 00:14:00.809
maybe a mayor? Ooh, remember the movie Dave with

00:14:00.809 --> 00:14:03.309
Kevin Kline where he has a body double? Is he

00:14:03.309 --> 00:14:05.690
the body double for the president or was he the

00:14:05.690 --> 00:14:09.830
president? That was a good one. Little known,

00:14:10.049 --> 00:14:12.389
there was, he was a body double, Dustin Hoffman,

00:14:12.490 --> 00:14:14.429
I think, in a movie called Moon Over Parador

00:14:14.429 --> 00:14:18.610
for a small Latin American country who had a

00:14:18.610 --> 00:14:21.580
dictator who they needed to stand in for. And

00:14:21.580 --> 00:14:24.059
they found out this schlub from America, who

00:14:24.059 --> 00:14:26.399
played by Dustin Hoffman, was a dead ringer for

00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.539
him. So that's my designated survivor pick that

00:14:29.539 --> 00:14:31.879
obviously nobody has ever heard of or remembers.

00:14:33.139 --> 00:14:35.480
Man, Air Force One, Harrison, I don't remember

00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:37.059
his name in the movie, but you just said it.

00:14:37.059 --> 00:14:40.419
That's a great one. Oh, best ever, Bill Paxton,

00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:44.379
Independence Day. There you go. Or no, Bill Coleman.

00:14:44.580 --> 00:14:49.299
Bill Coleman, Independence Day. Number one right

00:14:49.299 --> 00:14:52.440
there. I think what does it for me with Al Donnelly

00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:57.700
is, well, Chris Farley, Farley's character in

00:14:57.700 --> 00:15:01.399
that movie, but has his best movie. Have you

00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:06.860
seen a movie that represents a campaign or a

00:15:06.860 --> 00:15:10.679
candidate's top surrogate and the way that Farley

00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:14.519
behaves and the links he goes to and kind of

00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.539
flops and fumbles doing it, trying to get his

00:15:17.539 --> 00:15:27.240
brother elected? Now I asked this question and

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:30.460
this I'm gonna roll this into a a serious question

00:15:30.460 --> 00:15:38.399
for you Jim. Oh gosh. Have you ever in Previous

00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:45.980
years this year or looking ahead to 26 28 Have

00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:53.179
you ever been mulling A run for office. Oh man,

00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:58.259
that is a good question. I actually. I do kind

00:15:58.259 --> 00:16:01.139
of get into a little bit of locally local politics

00:16:01.139 --> 00:16:05.039
and local. Cause is way more than anything national,

00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:06.639
just because I don't feel like there's a whole

00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.720
lot that can change. Obviously there is. Impressive

00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.480
people that go about doing that, but yeah, I

00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.720
think I would enjoy running for something hyper

00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:19.039
local. You know, maybe just for my city or. If

00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:21.200
anything, the County would be the largest probably,

00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:23.019
but something in the city would actually be pretty

00:16:23.019 --> 00:16:25.360
neat. If you could affect change somehow, which

00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.600
seems to be easier to do on the local level.

00:16:29.019 --> 00:16:30.820
Well, I wasn't expecting that answer. Well, I

00:16:30.820 --> 00:16:33.360
thought you might, I thought you might answer

00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.059
in the affirmative, but wow, Jim, I am sorry

00:16:36.059 --> 00:16:40.460
to say you can dash those aspirations, uh, by

00:16:40.460 --> 00:16:42.860
way of your appearance on this podcast and the

00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:49.639
reputation. Gosh, I feel so bad. I walked you

00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.799
into this and Those questions are gonna come

00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.700
up and the flyers that you get in the mail there's

00:16:55.700 --> 00:16:58.879
gonna be the black and white picture of Jim and

00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.980
Do you know what he's been what what he has been

00:17:01.980 --> 00:17:05.539
doing? And the and the people he's been talking

00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:07.660
to and these podcasts he's been appearing on

00:17:07.660 --> 00:17:10.839
and all this stuff He's been you know having

00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:14.099
discussions about the accelerator hairdryer hand

00:17:14.099 --> 00:17:18.140
dryer What else did we talk about last time?

00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.039
Do you want a man representing you who doesn't

00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.980
use paper towels or only uses paper towels? He

00:17:26.980 --> 00:17:30.000
doesn't wash his hands when he leaves the bathroom.

00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.500
No, that's not true. But yes, that's absolutely

00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:35.740
how they could spend that. And they'd have a

00:17:35.740 --> 00:17:37.660
big, you know, Ghostbuster symbol over me coming

00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:40.400
out of the bathroom, looking shocked directly

00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.380
into the camera and, you know, dripping wet hands.

00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:45.240
And then right next to it will be a damn time.

00:17:46.049 --> 00:17:48.789
podcast symbol with a big red Ghostbusters sign

00:17:48.789 --> 00:17:52.069
in there too. Thanks for doing it, Dan. I appreciate

00:17:52.069 --> 00:17:54.769
it. We'll just have to, you know, wipe this from

00:17:54.769 --> 00:17:57.589
the internet, which is easy to do, right? Everybody

00:17:57.589 --> 00:17:59.950
will tell you that. Once it's on the internet,

00:18:00.430 --> 00:18:04.369
easy to get rid of. I think maybe the good thing

00:18:04.369 --> 00:18:09.029
is with a podcast like this one, it's still relatively

00:18:09.029 --> 00:18:13.970
obscure and to get into the meat of things. catch

00:18:13.970 --> 00:18:16.349
someone, you'd really have to listen for a while.

00:18:16.390 --> 00:18:19.730
Cause this is a long form conversation. Some

00:18:19.730 --> 00:18:22.970
of my, some of the episodes are gone an hour,

00:18:23.190 --> 00:18:26.009
20 minutes, hour 30 minutes, maybe a little too

00:18:26.009 --> 00:18:28.890
long sometimes, but yeah, people would have to

00:18:28.890 --> 00:18:33.089
stick around and put the time in to catch you

00:18:33.089 --> 00:18:35.970
saying something. But no, in all honesty, Jim,

00:18:36.329 --> 00:18:38.609
I asked that question because I've always thought

00:18:38.609 --> 00:18:43.390
that if the time was right and, and you were

00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:46.180
prepared to do something like this. You've got,

00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:49.240
you've got my full backing. Well, thank you.

00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.460
Would you be my campaign manager when you, you

00:18:51.460 --> 00:18:54.299
know, drop everything and come up to, you know,

00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.920
Birmingham to help me run them for city council?

00:18:59.539 --> 00:19:01.900
I would, I would be honored to do it, but I think

00:19:01.900 --> 00:19:06.640
that I might end up behaving like Mike Donnelly

00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:10.500
and doing more harm than good if you put me on

00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:15.529
stage at a microphone. Yeah, no kidding. Yeah

00:19:15.529 --> 00:19:18.829
How about the thing that art how about the thing

00:19:18.829 --> 00:19:20.970
that like Tommy boy and black sheep are basically

00:19:20.970 --> 00:19:24.829
the same movie just with very minor tweaks. Yeah,

00:19:24.829 --> 00:19:29.549
I Really wish you know talking about Chris Farley

00:19:29.549 --> 00:19:33.009
I've read that after Tommy boy, and I don't want

00:19:33.009 --> 00:19:36.890
to get you know too serious here, but he really

00:19:36.890 --> 00:19:39.970
enjoyed that experience some of those movie sets

00:19:39.970 --> 00:19:44.690
and You know, you imagine if you're going day

00:19:44.690 --> 00:19:46.970
after day, week after week, around these same

00:19:46.970 --> 00:19:50.569
people. It's fun. You're doing what you love

00:19:50.569 --> 00:19:53.250
to do. It's maybe keeping you in check. You know,

00:19:53.250 --> 00:19:56.769
you can't do a lot of extra curricular stuff

00:19:56.769 --> 00:19:59.049
at that time because you got to be, you got to

00:19:59.049 --> 00:20:02.089
be good for your performance. Um, and I think

00:20:02.089 --> 00:20:06.109
he talked about being getting kind of down after

00:20:06.109 --> 00:20:08.329
those periods, after maybe black sheep and Tommy

00:20:08.329 --> 00:20:13.400
boy and, um, I could see that, but I just want

00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:16.079
to say, I know we're in agreement here. I miss

00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:20.140
Chris Farley every year. I don't, I couldn't

00:20:20.140 --> 00:20:22.200
say every single day, every week, every month,

00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:27.039
but it's not too many months go by where I don't

00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:29.720
think, wow, Chris Farley was a special talent.

00:20:30.339 --> 00:20:32.680
There's never been anybody like him since. And

00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.759
I still miss seeing him in movies. What about

00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:41.660
semi -annually? So twice a year. Yeah, at least.

00:20:42.140 --> 00:20:46.920
Okay, so say that again. Chris Farley's semi

00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:52.720
-annually. Yeah, semi -annual. Longing for Farley.

00:20:53.500 --> 00:20:56.220
Yeah, I love him too. I miss him. Apparently

00:20:56.220 --> 00:20:58.200
this week would have been his 60th birthday one

00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:01.940
day this week. You saw that earlier this week.

00:21:02.019 --> 00:21:05.119
Wow. Yeah, RIP Chris Farley, man. He was great.

00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:09.460
Jim, let's just move clear across the field here.

00:21:09.690 --> 00:21:14.009
If I were to come to your house and just start

00:21:14.009 --> 00:21:16.750
rummaging through, let's start opening the junk

00:21:16.750 --> 00:21:20.630
drawer in your kitchen and I've got some food

00:21:20.630 --> 00:21:22.470
that I brought with me and I'm just, you know,

00:21:22.470 --> 00:21:25.049
I need a teriyaki packet. I need some Chick -fil

00:21:25.049 --> 00:21:30.630
-A sauce. I need some Arby's sauce. What am I

00:21:30.630 --> 00:21:33.289
gonna find? Am I gonna find an unopened fortune

00:21:33.289 --> 00:21:37.569
cookie? What types of little packets and condiments

00:21:37.569 --> 00:21:42.519
might I find? Oh my goodness, uh, we, uh, should

00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:45.380
you hit Chick -fil -A? We love their Polynesian.

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:47.680
So there's always a few Polynesians. There's

00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:51.660
a couple Chick -fil -A barbecues in there. Um,

00:21:51.819 --> 00:21:54.980
I'm not a fan, nor is my wife of the, uh, Chick

00:21:54.980 --> 00:21:58.200
-fil -A sauce, which is kind of like a, this

00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:00.319
daggum yum yum that they give you at all the

00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:02.440
Japanese steak houses now. That's like a mayonnaise

00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.220
for different things then. I'm not a huge fan

00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:07.539
of those. Um, by the way, did you, you know,

00:22:07.869 --> 00:22:11.470
Did you just say dad gum like Mater? I did. I

00:22:11.470 --> 00:22:13.750
was, you know, I know this is a family. I'm thinking

00:22:13.750 --> 00:22:16.289
about my future career in politics. I'm trying

00:22:16.289 --> 00:22:20.210
to watch my language. That's right. Dad gum.

00:22:21.130 --> 00:22:24.210
That's right. I watch the Cars movies and the

00:22:24.210 --> 00:22:27.690
shorts. Anybody listening that's got kids, go

00:22:27.690 --> 00:22:31.769
to, if you got the Disney Plus, pull up Cars

00:22:31.769 --> 00:22:35.670
and all the shorts with McQueen and Mater. They

00:22:35.670 --> 00:22:39.440
are hilarious. I can watch them over and over.

00:22:39.980 --> 00:22:42.640
Go ahead. Well, you probably don't have a choice

00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:44.420
but to watch them over and over with your young

00:22:44.420 --> 00:22:48.319
kids. Let's get back to the condiments. I'm sorry.

00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:53.240
Oh yeah, sorry. Excuse me. So yeah, those are

00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:57.059
definitely in there. For some reason, does Natalie

00:22:57.059 --> 00:22:59.140
just bring home ketchup packets even though you

00:22:59.140 --> 00:23:02.240
always have the industrial size bottle of ketchup

00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:04.730
in your refrigerator? Natalie I'm like Kelly

00:23:04.730 --> 00:23:07.730
we will never need these catch -ups that are

00:23:07.730 --> 00:23:11.009
you know that eventually turned so bad that they

00:23:11.009 --> 00:23:14.450
burst on their own You know, and then they they

00:23:14.450 --> 00:23:16.190
get all over the stuff in the junk drawer like

00:23:16.190 --> 00:23:19.650
that single AAA battery or You know a lighter

00:23:19.650 --> 00:23:23.289
that you haven't used the 15 years. So well,

00:23:23.430 --> 00:23:26.349
you know those catch -up packets are for You're

00:23:26.349 --> 00:23:30.019
supposed to have anywhere from 17 to 38 Packets

00:23:30.019 --> 00:23:32.099
at any given time on your drunk chore because

00:23:32.099 --> 00:23:35.619
you just never know when you don't have a power

00:23:35.619 --> 00:23:38.440
outage or something and you've got a sandwich

00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:41.380
that you're trying to make and But then again,

00:23:41.380 --> 00:23:44.559
what are you putting ketchup on? Yeah, are you

00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:46.900
gonna be making a meatloaf for 50 people when

00:23:46.900 --> 00:23:57.430
your power goes out? Put the lights out and then

00:23:57.430 --> 00:23:59.130
are you gonna cook the meatloaf? Hopefully you

00:23:59.130 --> 00:24:02.990
got a gas oven You know, so I think you'll be

00:24:02.990 --> 00:24:07.549
happy you had the 17 to 38 ketchup packets Because

00:24:07.549 --> 00:24:09.549
that's literally the only reason you would need

00:24:09.549 --> 00:24:12.789
those that's it Are you talking about we've never

00:24:12.789 --> 00:24:15.710
even made meatloaf? And you're talking about

00:24:15.710 --> 00:24:19.690
methodically tearing the little corners off of

00:24:19.690 --> 00:24:24.430
each individual packet Which never happens never

00:24:24.430 --> 00:24:28.220
happens the whole Dad gum side of the catch -up

00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:31.920
packet rips off It never just comes off nice

00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:34.240
and neat Let me ask you then you try to squeeze

00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:36.680
them out and it gets on your hands Yeah, go ahead

00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:39.359
when you get ready to open a packet whatever

00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:42.380
sauce it is Do you take it by you know with your

00:24:42.380 --> 00:24:44.279
thumb and your finger? Do you take it at the

00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:47.299
edge and just start flapping it around before

00:24:47.299 --> 00:24:53.839
you? You got to work all that catch up to the

00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:59.640
opposite end of the No, I don't. I'm not a flapper.

00:25:00.140 --> 00:25:03.059
I just, I just hold one. I hold the top kind

00:25:03.059 --> 00:25:05.960
of in the center and with one hand and then use,

00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:08.660
you know, my pointer finger and thumb on the

00:25:08.660 --> 00:25:12.200
other hand and just gently slide them down to

00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:15.500
catch up. So I move pre -opening, I'm going to

00:25:15.500 --> 00:25:18.160
slide all the ketchup to the bottom of the packet.

00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:21.470
And that seems to be a much more. practical way

00:25:21.470 --> 00:25:23.450
to get that ketchup down without just whapping

00:25:23.450 --> 00:25:25.450
it around because you know if you can lose you

00:25:25.450 --> 00:25:26.730
could already have grease from the burger on

00:25:26.730 --> 00:25:29.589
your hands and sling that packet you know put

00:25:29.589 --> 00:25:32.329
somebody's eye out and you're getting sued and

00:25:32.329 --> 00:25:34.069
your family's out on the street because you don't

00:25:34.069 --> 00:25:36.089
have a house to live in you know because you're

00:25:36.089 --> 00:25:38.730
whapping your ketchup packet. You know think

00:25:38.730 --> 00:25:43.630
about uh speaking of let's just keep this on

00:25:43.630 --> 00:25:47.950
um food dining that category. What does it sound

00:25:47.950 --> 00:25:50.589
like when you're out to eat with the family or

00:25:50.589 --> 00:25:53.950
just you and Kelly and I know you're nice to

00:25:53.950 --> 00:25:55.769
the servers we used to work in the industry but

00:25:55.769 --> 00:25:58.809
your food comes out and it's man it's just way

00:25:58.809 --> 00:26:02.349
off the mark. It's either the wrong entree or

00:26:02.349 --> 00:26:05.730
it's got the stuff on it that you asked not to

00:26:05.730 --> 00:26:08.869
be on there. What does it sound like when you're

00:26:08.869 --> 00:26:12.670
talking to that that server and say hey excuse

00:26:12.670 --> 00:26:17.089
me hey Steve or whoever it is. Well, yeah, I

00:26:17.089 --> 00:26:20.089
mean that first time, you know, I'll say Steve.

00:26:20.349 --> 00:26:24.430
Hey, you know this It has to be something pretty

00:26:24.430 --> 00:26:26.369
dang drastic like I'm trying to think about the

00:26:26.369 --> 00:26:29.089
last time I sent something back Do you do you

00:26:29.089 --> 00:26:32.569
take the both hands and point? Kind of with your

00:26:32.569 --> 00:26:36.269
your palms up and point at the plate and say

00:26:36.269 --> 00:26:40.250
What is this? This isn't what I ordered. Yeah,

00:26:40.250 --> 00:26:42.980
just Okay, you said you give that pause there

00:26:42.980 --> 00:26:44.579
because otherwise they'll be like it's chicken

00:26:44.579 --> 00:26:54.059
fingers and french fries And then you know before

00:26:54.059 --> 00:26:56.720
any of that I'm sitting there trying to serve

00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:01.339
especially my wife Every time y 'all hurry up

00:27:01.339 --> 00:27:06.240
with the order take forever, you know, so No,

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:07.859
I mean I said stuff the main thing I've sent

00:27:07.859 --> 00:27:10.319
stuff back for is literally like these people

00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:13.119
that accidentally bring you the totally wrong

00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:17.420
dish, you know? Yeah. I don't usually, and one

00:27:17.420 --> 00:27:20.000
time, oh man, we went, you know, there's, I don't

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:21.960
know how it is down there, but up here, I think

00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:25.019
there's more Mexican restaurants per capita than

00:27:25.019 --> 00:27:26.980
anywhere else in the world. We went to this one

00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:29.319
and I don't want to call them out because they

00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:31.359
may be one of your sponsors one day, but it was

00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:33.920
just the worst Mexican food. I could eat Mexican

00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:35.460
up here every day of the week because there's

00:27:35.460 --> 00:27:38.220
so much variety and they're all usually good,

00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:40.339
you know? It's hard to find a bad Mexican food.

00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:43.480
restaurant but this one I went to they literally

00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:48.119
the beans were ice cold and they you know asked

00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:50.200
for corn tortillas with these tacos they brought

00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:54.079
me flour tortillas another big pet peeve of mine

00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:56.059
god this has got to be ribbony who's driving

00:27:56.059 --> 00:27:58.220
in the car and I'm just going yeah uh -huh and

00:27:58.220 --> 00:28:03.279
and and you know but uh speaking of Mexican I'm

00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:07.519
real particular with my fajitas I like My vegetables

00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.880
burnt almost I do not want my fajita vegetables

00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:13.140
to come out like they've just been chopped and

00:28:13.140 --> 00:28:16.160
you know Lightly placed on the skillet and you

00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:17.960
know, I want them to have sat there for a while

00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:20.700
the char on them So I have sent back the heat

00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:23.420
of vegetables and Kelly's Rolled her eyes at

00:28:23.420 --> 00:28:25.400
me for doing that, but they're expensive man,

00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:28.700
you know, so they are I like it the way I like

00:28:28.700 --> 00:28:31.519
it Well, I like what you say you a char guy.

00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:33.759
Are you a do you a char guy on your vegetables

00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:36.990
when you get fajitas? Yes, absolutely Well, I

00:28:36.990 --> 00:28:40.049
don't order fajitas very often, but I know what

00:28:40.049 --> 00:28:43.210
you're saying about you can always tell if you're

00:28:43.210 --> 00:28:48.190
at a Good Mexican restaurant That's authentic

00:28:48.190 --> 00:28:51.349
they know what they're doing all you got to do

00:28:51.349 --> 00:28:53.910
is Take a bite of the beans or a bite of the

00:28:53.910 --> 00:28:56.230
rice and that'll tell you everything you need

00:28:56.230 --> 00:28:59.089
to know when your food comes out Get get a fork

00:28:59.089 --> 00:29:01.710
or spoonful of that first. Let's just say you're

00:29:01.710 --> 00:29:05.069
ordering a burrito or chimichanga or whatever

00:29:06.019 --> 00:29:11.019
That's the test for me. Absolutely. If you folks

00:29:11.019 --> 00:29:12.960
listen and take anything away from this episode,

00:29:13.180 --> 00:29:15.579
it's that. Listen to Dan right there. Try the

00:29:15.579 --> 00:29:17.539
beans and rice to know if you're in the right

00:29:17.539 --> 00:29:22.339
Mexican place. Now, Jeb, you're a or have been

00:29:22.339 --> 00:29:25.099
a traveling man. You like to be on the road or

00:29:25.099 --> 00:29:28.619
I think so. When you're out there, whether it's

00:29:28.619 --> 00:29:30.839
for work or you've got the family, you're going

00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:35.190
somewhere. Do you ever just spend Half an hour

00:29:35.190 --> 00:29:38.549
where you say that's it. I'm done with the music.

00:29:38.589 --> 00:29:41.569
I'm done with the podcast I'm just gonna listen

00:29:41.569 --> 00:29:47.049
to the sound of the highway Outside of the window

00:29:47.049 --> 00:29:51.150
here. I'm just gonna sit and think and Or do

00:29:51.150 --> 00:29:53.109
you do you always have something kind of playing

00:29:53.109 --> 00:29:56.460
and going I usually do yeah I mean, you'd have

00:29:56.460 --> 00:29:58.539
to be a psychopath to want to do that. No, so

00:29:58.539 --> 00:30:01.420
I've never, no, I don't mean I could probably

00:30:01.420 --> 00:30:07.099
do that for 12 seconds before I had to put something

00:30:07.099 --> 00:30:11.200
on. Unfortunately, I wish I could, I wish I could

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:13.640
do that. Jim, I feel like, and I'm guilty of

00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:18.180
this, but I feel like that we think we're, we're

00:30:18.180 --> 00:30:21.660
wasting time or we're not using all of this available

00:30:21.660 --> 00:30:25.220
time if we're not. plugged in listening to something

00:30:25.220 --> 00:30:28.259
reading something scrolling at something like

00:30:28.259 --> 00:30:30.779
just the It's a little easier to do when you're

00:30:30.779 --> 00:30:32.400
driving to just say, okay I'm gonna take about

00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:35.180
five minutes here and just drive but but especially

00:30:35.180 --> 00:30:38.700
if you're just sitting somewhere in public It

00:30:38.700 --> 00:30:41.839
just kind of feels like well, I got about five

00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:44.960
minutes before my tables ready or I got I'm here,

00:30:45.019 --> 00:30:47.960
but my dentist office I got a few minutes before

00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:51.720
they call me. I better like check all the scores

00:30:52.649 --> 00:30:54.769
scan through my email, scan through my social

00:30:54.769 --> 00:30:58.410
media. Do you feel like we're mostly at that

00:30:58.410 --> 00:31:03.269
place now? Yes. You know, my 83 year old father,

00:31:03.730 --> 00:31:05.289
it was hard of hearing, but that doesn't mean

00:31:05.289 --> 00:31:08.349
his brain doesn't work. He goes for these, he

00:31:08.349 --> 00:31:10.849
calls them his jaunts because, you know, he traveled

00:31:10.849 --> 00:31:15.130
as a bivocational part -time pastor. He would

00:31:15.130 --> 00:31:18.029
just on Sundays for 50 years drive through a

00:31:18.029 --> 00:31:19.910
church that usually was a long way away from

00:31:19.910 --> 00:31:23.039
where we live. So. since he's retired and now

00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:25.519
on Sundays he goes gets in his car by himself

00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:28.220
because he's a widower and just drives from his

00:31:28.220 --> 00:31:31.200
apartment, you know, in Lubbock and just heads

00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:33.759
outside of Lubbock, Texas and kind of just drives

00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:36.339
in a big circle just wherever the wind takes

00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:40.440
him. And he doesn't listen to anything. He drove

00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:42.920
all the way from here to Lubbock in a rental

00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:46.019
vehicle without anything. You know, I was like,

00:31:46.059 --> 00:31:47.700
Dad, you want to take a CD player? We could put

00:31:47.700 --> 00:31:52.019
a CD in there. Nope. So I have no idea. It's

00:31:52.019 --> 00:31:55.420
just a totally different generation and. I do

00:31:55.420 --> 00:31:59.059
find it kind of sad that I can't. You know, it's

00:31:59.059 --> 00:32:01.799
even harder for folks younger than us to, you

00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:04.119
know, just sit with their thoughts or sit in

00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:06.460
silence. I mean, it's it's really hard for me,

00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:07.819
so I can't imagine what it's going to be like

00:32:07.819 --> 00:32:10.960
for our kids and I'm envious of him. He's able

00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:14.339
to do that. Hopefully one day. Get back to something

00:32:14.339 --> 00:32:17.509
like that. That is a long be that just when you

00:32:17.509 --> 00:32:20.309
turn 83, you don't give a crap anymore, you know

00:32:20.309 --> 00:32:25.130
But that is a ways to go what Birmingham to Lubbock

00:32:25.130 --> 00:32:31.410
is how many hours like about 15 15 hours driving.

00:32:31.750 --> 00:32:39.890
No talk radio No music Does he like to stop and

00:32:39.890 --> 00:32:45.029
you know eat at a diner or He probably stopped

00:32:45.029 --> 00:32:47.609
one time and got like a bag of peanuts. He eats

00:32:47.609 --> 00:32:51.170
like a bird. I'm sure you're aware that's the

00:32:51.170 --> 00:32:53.630
key to long life is just not to eat anything

00:32:53.630 --> 00:32:56.369
because the fatter you are the sooner you die.

00:32:57.890 --> 00:33:00.029
Do you remember the ice storm we had up here

00:33:00.029 --> 00:33:01.589
about 10 years ago? I think you were already

00:33:01.589 --> 00:33:05.309
down in Pensacola. Yes, yeah, we had our version

00:33:05.309 --> 00:33:09.150
of it and it was pretty bad, but it wasn't as

00:33:09.150 --> 00:33:13.490
bad as Birmingham, Atlanta, Nashville. Him and

00:33:13.490 --> 00:33:15.829
my mom had just moved here to Birmingham, and

00:33:15.829 --> 00:33:19.730
he was out. He was down Highway 280. There are

00:33:19.730 --> 00:33:24.650
condos right off Highway 31 and Interstate 65

00:33:24.650 --> 00:33:26.809
right there in Vestavia, the Vestavia -Hoover

00:33:26.809 --> 00:33:31.150
line. So when I started, he was, you know, about

00:33:31.150 --> 00:33:34.789
10 minutes away in normal traffic. He didn't

00:33:34.789 --> 00:33:41.789
get home for 14 hours. Candies that were in his

00:33:41.789 --> 00:33:45.269
glove box didn't sleep Would move a little bit,

00:33:45.269 --> 00:33:46.990
but then we get stopped or another truck But

00:33:46.990 --> 00:33:48.890
he didn't just park on the side of the road or

00:33:48.890 --> 00:33:50.829
try to walk He kept moving the whole time, but

00:33:50.829 --> 00:33:52.869
it took him 14 hours He said it took him as long

00:33:52.869 --> 00:33:55.789
as it did to get to Lubbock to get to his condo

00:33:55.789 --> 00:34:00.289
here So he didn't eat anything and he used the

00:34:00.289 --> 00:34:04.349
bag that his candies were in to pee into get

00:34:04.349 --> 00:34:08.050
out of here Yeah, he's a survivor man, and that's

00:34:08.050 --> 00:34:14.570
when he was you know 70 74. So it's just a different

00:34:14.570 --> 00:34:17.650
generation. That's true for words. Now, didn't

00:34:17.650 --> 00:34:20.329
you say your dad's a big Dallas Cowboys fan?

00:34:21.610 --> 00:34:25.550
He is bored. Will he engage in the text messages

00:34:25.550 --> 00:34:29.570
with with you on the games or after the games?

00:34:30.630 --> 00:34:32.989
A little I don't bring it. I bring it up when

00:34:32.989 --> 00:34:36.969
they win, but he's even more. How do you say

00:34:36.969 --> 00:34:39.190
it? He is not a super fan. He loves them. He

00:34:39.190 --> 00:34:41.510
loves reading about them, but he gets really

00:34:41.510 --> 00:34:45.090
upset when they lose. Uh, so I don't ever talk

00:34:45.090 --> 00:34:47.869
about that with him. Um, he was here visiting

00:34:47.869 --> 00:34:49.889
recently. I think it was the first Cowboys game

00:34:49.889 --> 00:34:52.150
I'd watched with him in person where they lost

00:34:52.150 --> 00:34:56.250
and God knows how long he was the former preacher.

00:34:56.289 --> 00:34:58.190
Like I said, kind of, you know, cussing up the

00:34:58.190 --> 00:35:00.829
storm, yelling at the top of his lung, not top

00:35:00.829 --> 00:35:04.420
of his lungs, but just obviously upset with the

00:35:04.420 --> 00:35:06.300
performance of the Cowboys. But, you know, he's

00:35:06.300 --> 00:35:09.300
last on. Again, I know people in their cars are

00:35:09.300 --> 00:35:13.340
just, this is gripping, but he became a cheese

00:35:13.340 --> 00:35:15.820
fan when they drafted Mahomes because Mahomes

00:35:15.820 --> 00:35:17.539
went to Texas Tech. And you know where Texas

00:35:17.539 --> 00:35:22.179
Tech is? Love it. That's right. So because he's

00:35:22.179 --> 00:35:24.739
a Red Raider, my dad liked him. So that's given

00:35:24.739 --> 00:35:27.880
him some, some comfort with the total ineptitude

00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:31.170
of the Cowboys these past few years. I'm just,

00:35:31.170 --> 00:35:35.030
I always find myself amazed at your father and

00:35:35.030 --> 00:35:37.030
the stories that you share. And I think when

00:35:37.030 --> 00:35:41.250
you said that he takes these drives, at one time,

00:35:41.409 --> 00:35:44.710
maybe this was a few years ago, you said that

00:35:44.710 --> 00:35:47.650
he emails you and your siblings. How does he

00:35:47.650 --> 00:35:51.429
describe it? He shares the itinerary or the...

00:35:51.429 --> 00:35:54.409
Yeah, just random thoughts. And I save everyone

00:35:54.409 --> 00:35:57.070
he sends now just so I can share them with my

00:35:57.070 --> 00:36:01.800
kids, my daughter. It's like, uh, dear children,

00:36:03.059 --> 00:36:08.139
here's where I, uh, commuted today. Wow. And

00:36:08.139 --> 00:36:11.440
I, and I'm, I mean, I'm like really, uh, impressed

00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:16.300
with the way that he goes about some of these

00:36:16.300 --> 00:36:21.159
excursions. Would you like to hear one? Absolutely.

00:36:21.820 --> 00:36:23.599
I'll give you a little breakdown. So he says,

00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:26.320
hello. My drive this PM was a bit unusual in

00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:28.440
that I made a mistaken assumption and ended up

00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:31.400
about five miles into New Mexico. That highway

00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:34.199
that runs the Texas New Mexico border, number

00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:38.059
769, I think, dead end south of number 114, which

00:36:38.059 --> 00:36:40.480
I had taken from Lubbock. I had forgotten that

00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:46.599
number 595 takes over at number 125. At any rate,

00:36:46.659 --> 00:36:49.730
I got turned around and went north on 595. over

00:36:49.730 --> 00:36:51.809
some actual dirt road to where it dead ends at

00:36:51.809 --> 00:36:54.889
54. Since that was what I'd been looking for,

00:36:54.909 --> 00:36:57.010
I turned back east at that point. I might say

00:36:57.010 --> 00:36:59.170
that west of Morton people are really even scarce

00:36:59.170 --> 00:37:01.590
during that west Texas in general. There weren't

00:37:01.590 --> 00:37:05.150
many habitations or buildings of any kind. I

00:37:05.150 --> 00:37:08.050
stayed on 54 until I turned north on 37, somewhere

00:37:08.050 --> 00:37:11.469
around Enos. I then stayed on 37 through Amherst,

00:37:11.550 --> 00:37:13.550
Filton, and good old Cotton Center, all the way

00:37:13.550 --> 00:37:18.190
to I -27, just south of Hailston. There I turned

00:37:18.190 --> 00:37:21.889
south on 127 for Lubbock. He also likes to tell

00:37:21.889 --> 00:37:24.949
us about the wildlife that he saw. It was a bad

00:37:24.949 --> 00:37:26.969
day for wildlife. I didn't see any alive, but

00:37:26.969 --> 00:37:30.309
I did see two dead coyotes, one dead skunk, and

00:37:30.309 --> 00:37:34.750
a dead jackrabbit. It was sort of sad. So that's

00:37:34.750 --> 00:37:38.449
pretty much the gist of these emails that he

00:37:38.449 --> 00:37:44.940
sent. Oh, goodness. Jim. People tuning in today,

00:37:45.139 --> 00:37:50.980
I'm sorry. I mean, I laugh, we laugh, but you've

00:37:50.980 --> 00:37:54.139
got quite a treasure of an old man. He is from

00:37:54.139 --> 00:38:00.760
a different era. He doesn't, in no way is he

00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:05.000
self -conscious about his ways. Nor should he

00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:11.039
be. I just, I love that. I do too. I hope to

00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:13.809
be that age one day. Be at that point in his

00:38:13.809 --> 00:38:18.650
life and just break it down to this is what I

00:38:18.650 --> 00:38:20.869
Mean all the directional information and the

00:38:20.869 --> 00:38:27.150
highways It's just real matter -of -fact I like

00:38:27.150 --> 00:38:31.130
that. There is so much drama and nonsense in

00:38:31.130 --> 00:38:34.210
our days and the conversations you overhear from

00:38:34.210 --> 00:38:37.250
people that are shouting at each other and yelling

00:38:37.250 --> 00:38:40.670
at each other and picking at each other and It's

00:38:40.670 --> 00:38:44.050
just so much of that garbage out there that we

00:38:44.050 --> 00:38:47.510
either deal with directly or indirectly. And

00:38:47.510 --> 00:38:52.710
God bless your old man. Amen. He's a treasure

00:38:52.710 --> 00:38:56.869
and just a very unique dude. But I don't make

00:38:56.869 --> 00:39:04.070
them like that anymore. No, no. Jim, are you

00:39:04.070 --> 00:39:09.980
a... I don't know if we'll spend a lot of time

00:39:09.980 --> 00:39:12.840
on this question. I don't even know why I advanced

00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:17.219
it here, but Do you clear the lint screen every

00:39:17.219 --> 00:39:21.280
time on the dryer or every other time? Absolutely.

00:39:22.780 --> 00:39:25.420
Absolutely Mainly because wasn't it your apartment

00:39:25.420 --> 00:39:27.280
building where a dryer caught on fire because

00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:29.320
somebody didn't they didn't click people weren't

00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:33.119
cleaning the lip Yeah, I mean that's it's it's

00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:35.960
a good habit to maintain but you really ought

00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:39.940
to get your Your ducks cleaned at least I think

00:39:39.940 --> 00:39:42.420
it should be once a year now. We're I'm way behind

00:39:42.420 --> 00:39:44.920
I'm not saying this like I'm on top of it, but

00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:50.099
it's a good practice if you If you know a reliable

00:39:50.099 --> 00:39:54.760
Contractor in your area that does duck and vent

00:39:54.760 --> 00:40:01.760
cleaning It's money well spent It is great. Are

00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:03.900
you planning for a future sponsor right there?

00:40:03.900 --> 00:40:06.820
You're gonna drop in so call, you know Johnson

00:40:06.820 --> 00:40:13.409
and Johnson No, but I do want us I do want to

00:40:13.409 --> 00:40:17.289
shout out this was a week four or five guests

00:40:17.289 --> 00:40:20.150
that I feel like some of those early early guests

00:40:20.150 --> 00:40:25.250
are just Maybe forgotten maybe not but Dan Deetson

00:40:25.250 --> 00:40:31.949
this guy was and is a very interesting fellow

00:40:31.949 --> 00:40:35.110
Someone I'm glad to call a contact. We're not

00:40:35.110 --> 00:40:38.920
close friends, but You know, his company does

00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:43.360
leak detection, and particularly for high rise

00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:47.199
buildings. So if you missed that episode, I really

00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:49.719
haven't had another episode like that, but I've

00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:52.420
always welcomed anyone that's running a business,

00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:55.539
has a product, has an invention. What was that

00:40:55.539 --> 00:40:58.420
commercial with the guy, with the caveman and

00:40:58.420 --> 00:41:00.699
the wheel? And it said, Hey, have you got an

00:41:00.699 --> 00:41:04.800
idea or an invention? Call 1 -800 - They always

00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:08.199
come off late at night. Yeah, or while in the

00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:09.940
middle of the day when you're sitting at Firestone.

00:41:10.579 --> 00:41:14.920
That's like a Jerry Springer commercial. But

00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:17.380
yeah, Enco Electronics. I haven't, like I said,

00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:20.860
I kind of moved on from that to really a lot

00:41:20.860 --> 00:41:24.420
of musicians. I enjoy those episodes. I hope

00:41:24.420 --> 00:41:29.579
people listening do as well. But yeah, Jim, how

00:41:29.579 --> 00:41:34.380
about also speaking about dryers? Let's talk

00:41:34.380 --> 00:41:37.639
more about turners, yeah. Yeah, if you use a

00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:41.880
nice fabric softener, are you ever doing some

00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:44.539
laundry in the house and then you're also doing

00:41:44.539 --> 00:41:46.460
some yard work at the same time and so you're

00:41:46.460 --> 00:41:49.500
out there around the dryer vent and you just

00:41:49.500 --> 00:41:55.639
get that nice gain or tide fragrance that's kind

00:41:55.639 --> 00:41:58.639
of like coming at you as you're cutting the grass

00:41:58.639 --> 00:42:01.280
or getting ready to. Yeah. Do you like that?

00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:04.380
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I love it. I don't know,

00:42:04.460 --> 00:42:07.280
you know, if I get the hankering, I'll cut the

00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:09.820
mower off, take the headphones off, and, you

00:42:09.820 --> 00:42:12.239
know, luckily, you've got to be in the right

00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:15.119
position, but most dryer vents are, I think they,

00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:16.980
to be up to code, they have to be about a foot

00:42:16.980 --> 00:42:18.880
and a half off the ground, which is just enough.

00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:21.199
I have to get your head under there, you know,

00:42:21.199 --> 00:42:23.179
and I'll just lay there with the dryer vent blowing

00:42:23.179 --> 00:42:26.139
on my face and maybe get a little bit of lint

00:42:26.139 --> 00:42:31.719
here and there, but it's really soothing. Soothing

00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:34.380
retreat for me from the day to day and you know

00:42:34.380 --> 00:42:37.519
mowing a lawn. Nobody wants to do that And you

00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:41.260
have like the the the three louver air wash over

00:42:41.260 --> 00:42:44.280
me, huh? Do you have those three little louvers

00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:48.219
that flap as the dryer is blowing out that air?

00:42:49.420 --> 00:42:51.659
They keep the bugs out. No, I just have the old

00:42:51.659 --> 00:42:54.920
-school. I guess there's one giant round slap,

00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:58.070
you know in there It's always hard for me to

00:42:58.070 --> 00:42:59.969
see when I'm under there and you like have my

00:42:59.969 --> 00:43:01.889
eyes closed anyway, just because it's more relaxing

00:43:01.889 --> 00:43:04.650
But yeah, that's a good question. No, I don't

00:43:04.650 --> 00:43:07.269
have the three The three flaps that seems to

00:43:07.269 --> 00:43:09.150
be a beach thing. I see there's a lot of beach

00:43:09.150 --> 00:43:11.030
comments That seems to be the way to go. Maybe

00:43:11.030 --> 00:43:15.210
it's a sand issue or something Jim let's move

00:43:15.210 --> 00:43:18.989
it along here how about What's your favorite

00:43:18.989 --> 00:43:23.969
thing to do? When it's Tuesday night the Super

00:43:23.969 --> 00:43:27.869
Bowl is over Baseball hasn't started. He's just

00:43:27.869 --> 00:43:31.710
sitting there What do you want to watch? Oh?

00:43:31.889 --> 00:43:35.630
Gosh Well, I guess it what there's NBA. I'm forgetting

00:43:35.630 --> 00:43:38.110
a lot of stuff. I don't watch a lot. No, you're

00:43:38.110 --> 00:43:41.590
not Yeah, you don't well you get three kids under

00:43:41.590 --> 00:43:44.329
five right or right out of the five so you don't

00:43:44.329 --> 00:43:46.909
have a lot of fun You know what? It's just I

00:43:46.909 --> 00:43:48.329
think we might have talked about this before

00:43:48.329 --> 00:43:50.309
There's such a glut of things that I would like

00:43:50.309 --> 00:43:53.210
to watch. It's almost like I get overwhelmed

00:43:53.210 --> 00:43:56.500
and so I just go to YouTube and watch some of

00:43:56.500 --> 00:43:59.380
my favorite, you know, YouTube channels. Or if

00:43:59.380 --> 00:44:01.400
I find a show that I really like and latch on

00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:03.980
to, I'll do that. But I'm not, I am not an NBA

00:44:03.980 --> 00:44:07.659
guy. I miss the NBA of the 80s and the 90s, which

00:44:07.659 --> 00:44:12.239
is, to me was this golden era. I miss team basketball,

00:44:12.260 --> 00:44:14.840
but I do love college basketball. So if there's

00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:16.639
a college basketball game on that I'd like to

00:44:16.639 --> 00:44:19.400
watch on a Tuesday, I'll watch that. Auburn usually

00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:21.539
plays on Wednesday evening. So that takes up

00:44:21.539 --> 00:44:23.760
my Wednesdays. But man, if it's a Tuesday, that's

00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:26.699
tough. It is a little bit of a struggle because

00:44:26.699 --> 00:44:29.099
during football season you got Monday, Thursday,

00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:33.300
Saturday, Sunday covered. So yeah, that's hard,

00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:38.099
man. But I love documentaries too. So I'll scour

00:44:38.099 --> 00:44:40.079
all the streaming services for a documentary

00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:45.579
I might not have seen yet. You mentioned, well,

00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:47.559
I just want to ask you, going back, because we're

00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:53.519
old enough, the original dream team. 1992. dream

00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:57.940
team who is your favorite player from that cast

00:44:57.940 --> 00:45:02.260
at the time or now other now that i look back

00:45:02.260 --> 00:45:07.860
at it yeah let's say then and now and well you

00:45:07.860 --> 00:45:10.739
can say christian latner that's he is he can

00:45:10.739 --> 00:45:15.300
he's been my one he'd be my one a um but i would

00:45:15.300 --> 00:45:19.460
say you know at the time i I kind of wanted to

00:45:19.460 --> 00:45:22.360
butt the trend of being a bandwagon or a front

00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:24.619
runner. So I love Jordan. I thought he was awesome.

00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:27.260
But because everybody else liked Jordan, I kind

00:45:27.260 --> 00:45:32.659
of dug Clyde Drexler from the trailblazers. Clyde

00:45:32.659 --> 00:45:34.619
the Glide. Who I think would have been Jordan,

00:45:34.659 --> 00:45:36.559
you know, he had a lot of the same skills that

00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:38.380
Jordan had and brought that, you know, above

00:45:38.380 --> 00:45:41.780
the rim and crazy athletic dunks and especially

00:45:41.780 --> 00:45:44.260
like, you know, driving under the basket and

00:45:44.260 --> 00:45:46.059
shooting, you know, throwing layups up with your

00:45:46.059 --> 00:45:49.869
left hand. He was very much a Jordan -esque player,

00:45:50.590 --> 00:45:52.429
but he's a phenomenal player. He's on the dream

00:45:52.429 --> 00:45:54.369
team But he just you know people don't ever talk

00:45:54.369 --> 00:45:57.429
about him or remember him but he was absolutely

00:45:57.429 --> 00:45:59.809
my favorite because I love the trailblazers uniforms

00:45:59.809 --> 00:46:02.750
and His name was Clyde the glide. I mean, it

00:46:02.750 --> 00:46:05.630
was awesome. So he was my favorite back then

00:46:05.630 --> 00:46:08.030
but as the time has gone by I just love Charles

00:46:08.030 --> 00:46:11.789
Barkley, you know, I mean He's probably my favorite

00:46:11.789 --> 00:46:15.650
player of all time But a lot of that's his post

00:46:15.650 --> 00:46:17.789
NBA career. I just love seeing him on inside

00:46:17.789 --> 00:46:21.750
the NBA and everything he does And you know everything

00:46:21.750 --> 00:46:23.570
else besides his playing career, which is great,

00:46:23.869 --> 00:46:26.530
too I know yours was Patrick Ewing right was

00:46:26.530 --> 00:46:30.309
Patrick Ewing on my dream team. Absolutely Yeah

00:46:30.309 --> 00:46:34.429
that You know, I still talk every once in a while

00:46:34.429 --> 00:46:37.869
about those old Knicks Bulls Eastern Conference

00:46:37.869 --> 00:46:41.329
Finals Memories and best, you know, they got

00:46:41.329 --> 00:46:45.010
the Knicks were so close Mm -hmm had their chance,

00:46:45.409 --> 00:46:48.949
but yeah Ewing is my all -time favorite Charles

00:46:48.949 --> 00:46:51.590
Barkley if you live in Birmingham long enough

00:46:51.590 --> 00:46:55.030
and maybe for a period of time you were out late

00:46:55.030 --> 00:47:00.070
at night sometimes or worked in restaurants Some

00:47:00.070 --> 00:47:03.369
of us ran into him I got to see him a long long

00:47:03.369 --> 00:47:07.170
time ago. I was working at TGI Fridays I Didn't

00:47:07.170 --> 00:47:09.230
get to talk to him, but he had a large party

00:47:09.230 --> 00:47:11.030
in the restaurant, and then I did get to meet

00:47:11.030 --> 00:47:15.780
him one night at a bar late at night and he just

00:47:15.780 --> 00:47:18.199
popped in. I mean, there was a band playing and

00:47:18.199 --> 00:47:21.300
I won't say where it was, but I got to just shake

00:47:21.300 --> 00:47:24.420
hands with him. No autograph, no picture. And

00:47:24.420 --> 00:47:27.119
one thing I asked him, because I think at that

00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:29.659
time, Patrick Ewing was still angling for an

00:47:29.659 --> 00:47:34.260
NBA head coaching job. And he had just been passed

00:47:34.260 --> 00:47:38.360
over. I forget which opening it was. And so I

00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:39.739
asked Charles about that. I said, what do you

00:47:39.739 --> 00:47:43.670
think about Ewing you think he'll you think he

00:47:43.670 --> 00:47:46.389
should have gotten? That particular job. I really

00:47:46.389 --> 00:47:49.730
don't remember exactly how I phrased it, but

00:47:49.730 --> 00:47:52.849
I think he appreciated that I brought up his

00:47:52.849 --> 00:47:56.230
friend Patrick and But Ewing, you know if you

00:47:56.230 --> 00:47:59.110
look at his high school career his college career

00:47:59.110 --> 00:48:01.349
the champion he won championships at that level

00:48:01.349 --> 00:48:05.449
and Did just about all he could do for the Knicks,

00:48:05.449 --> 00:48:09.369
you know, John Starks was fantastic. They were

00:48:09.369 --> 00:48:14.150
a great combination and of course Oakley and

00:48:14.150 --> 00:48:19.469
Remember Charles Smith Yeah, Anthony Mason, I

00:48:19.469 --> 00:48:22.909
mean they had some good teams but The Bulls were

00:48:22.909 --> 00:48:26.150
just unstoppable Yeah, and that combination of

00:48:26.150 --> 00:48:30.590
Jordan and that's it Mm -hmm Just makes me think

00:48:30.590 --> 00:48:32.989
of like NBA Jam. Did you ever play that love

00:48:32.989 --> 00:48:35.969
that game? Yeah with the top two players from

00:48:35.969 --> 00:48:38.489
every team and they They couldn't include Pippen.

00:48:38.590 --> 00:48:42.050
It had to be Jordan and BJ Armstrong. Because

00:48:42.050 --> 00:48:44.429
Pippen, or maybe it was Pippen and BJ Armstrong.

00:48:45.210 --> 00:48:46.789
But they couldn't have Pippen and Jordan because

00:48:46.789 --> 00:48:49.610
it just wouldn't be fair to all the 31 other

00:48:49.610 --> 00:48:52.449
teams. Even though one of them had Stockton and

00:48:52.449 --> 00:48:58.889
Malone. I always liked whoever the big man was

00:48:58.889 --> 00:49:02.329
on most teams. Or if I didn't like him, like

00:49:02.329 --> 00:49:05.670
on the Bulls there for a few years, Bill Cartwright.

00:49:06.579 --> 00:49:10.579
Oh yeah, not the most dominating force, but he

00:49:10.579 --> 00:49:13.460
was a pretty good player. He was, he did what

00:49:13.460 --> 00:49:15.880
needed to be done. Bill Carr, right? Luke Long.

00:49:17.099 --> 00:49:21.639
Purdue. Bill Winnington, don't forget big Bill

00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:24.880
Winnington, the other bill from the Bulls, right?

00:49:25.599 --> 00:49:27.179
But yeah, it's just, I mean, I could, we could

00:49:27.179 --> 00:49:30.780
sit here and name 19 late eighties, nineties

00:49:30.780 --> 00:49:33.639
basketball players. And I could probably name

00:49:33.639 --> 00:49:36.460
you five guys that play in the NBA now. And I

00:49:36.460 --> 00:49:38.659
definitely couldn't tell you what team most of

00:49:38.659 --> 00:49:41.039
them play on. Same with baseball, man. I mean,

00:49:41.039 --> 00:49:43.440
I guess everything's romanticized when you're

00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:47.139
that age, just like music and sports. But man,

00:49:47.219 --> 00:49:49.699
I feel like the NFL's a lot better than it was

00:49:49.699 --> 00:49:52.599
back then. That might have something to do with

00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:56.480
the NFL's overwhelming popularity. Yeah, I think

00:49:56.480 --> 00:49:59.360
the NFL I mean because remember in the 90s and

00:49:59.360 --> 00:50:03.760
even up to about 2000 or 102 you're not watching

00:50:03.760 --> 00:50:08.519
this product on Flat -screen TVs. It was just

00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:10.940
a totally different viewing experience back then

00:50:10.940 --> 00:50:15.059
and same with baseball people love watching baseball

00:50:15.059 --> 00:50:18.960
on TV now Who would never watch it who always

00:50:18.960 --> 00:50:20.699
I remember when I used to love, you know I watched

00:50:20.699 --> 00:50:22.960
the Cubs you and I did would watch them through

00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:25.800
the 90s It's hard to remember what that experience

00:50:25.800 --> 00:50:27.300
exactly you know if you were to sit in front

00:50:27.300 --> 00:50:32.380
of an old tube again Wasn't that bad for me,

00:50:32.380 --> 00:50:34.500
but I knew what they were talking about when

00:50:34.500 --> 00:50:36.880
they said baseball is boring to watch on TV I'd

00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:39.019
rather just be there and some people still maintain

00:50:39.019 --> 00:50:42.179
that It's pretty exciting to watch it now if

00:50:42.179 --> 00:50:44.119
you're watching a high stakes game a playoff

00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:48.239
game Guys there's one sport that I have to see

00:50:48.239 --> 00:50:52.730
in person in space. I watch the Cubs on TV But

00:50:52.730 --> 00:50:54.710
that's about the only Major League Baseball watch

00:50:54.710 --> 00:50:56.550
until the playoffs in the World Series. And even

00:50:56.550 --> 00:50:59.170
then, I don't really watch much. Baseball is

00:50:59.170 --> 00:51:02.349
just such a better in -person game. I think that's

00:51:02.349 --> 00:51:05.309
part of why its popularity nationwide has declined

00:51:05.309 --> 00:51:07.550
is because now that we are all in front of screens,

00:51:07.869 --> 00:51:09.590
exactly like you're saying, the NFL is a better

00:51:09.590 --> 00:51:12.730
TV product, whereas Major League Baseball is

00:51:12.730 --> 00:51:15.730
a better in -person product. So, but everybody

00:51:15.730 --> 00:51:17.690
wants to be in front of their screens, you know,

00:51:17.789 --> 00:51:20.809
nobody wants to interact. That's with the weather.

00:51:20.809 --> 00:51:23.570
How's that for coming full circle and you know

00:51:23.570 --> 00:51:28.210
and Prices and stuff like that. So I mean baseball

00:51:28.210 --> 00:51:30.230
can still be exciting, but I think it's very

00:51:30.230 --> 00:51:34.190
much a Spectator sport and then you need to be

00:51:34.190 --> 00:51:36.110
sitting in the stands for it to be enjoyed for

00:51:36.110 --> 00:51:40.630
me personally Jim let's talk a minute here about

00:51:40.630 --> 00:51:45.750
the gimme 10 podcast Folks again, that's G I

00:51:45.750 --> 00:51:51.440
M M I E the number 10 podcast I love the reboot.

00:51:51.820 --> 00:51:55.639
I mean, of course I do because we're such great

00:51:55.639 --> 00:52:00.920
friends, but how is this? How are you enjoying

00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:03.219
it? It was like a couple of years or 18 months

00:52:03.219 --> 00:52:06.579
or so that you guys put this on the shelf. Well,

00:52:06.659 --> 00:52:10.159
we, I, we enjoyed it both of us for several months,

00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:13.659
but like any relationship, unfortunately, I'd

00:52:13.659 --> 00:52:15.420
still love people to go to listen to the episodes

00:52:15.420 --> 00:52:19.739
that are there. we're retiring again the gimme

00:52:19.739 --> 00:52:24.360
10 podcast that just um you know love jt we get

00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:26.579
it has nothing to do with our relationship outside

00:52:26.579 --> 00:52:30.239
of the pod it's just you know if you want to

00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:32.519
grow something it takes a certain amount of effort

00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:35.000
and that's not an effort that we're willing to

00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:38.659
put into it we'd much rather just uh shoot the

00:52:38.659 --> 00:52:40.980
breeze here and there but we realize we don't

00:52:40.980 --> 00:52:44.139
need to record ourselves talking Once a week

00:52:44.139 --> 00:52:46.119
we can do that without a microphone and not have

00:52:46.119 --> 00:52:49.380
to schedule it stuff stuff It was really fun

00:52:49.380 --> 00:52:51.300
while it lasted. I love doing it. I like I said

00:52:51.300 --> 00:52:54.079
to you I love hearing myself talk so I'll miss

00:52:54.079 --> 00:52:56.659
having that outlet every week But ever and I

00:52:56.659 --> 00:52:58.860
my daughter didn't want we've done one episode

00:52:58.860 --> 00:53:01.059
and hope to do more. It's called talking stuff

00:53:01.059 --> 00:53:04.159
I think we're about the 17th podcast called that

00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:07.000
but if I can figure out a way to link it I'll

00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:08.619
send it to you if you want to add it to your

00:53:08.619 --> 00:53:11.329
show notes, but Yeah, me and my 10 -year -old

00:53:11.329 --> 00:53:13.389
daughter have done one podcast. We hope to do

00:53:13.389 --> 00:53:16.570
a couple more in the future about probably mostly

00:53:16.570 --> 00:53:19.070
TV, movies, stuff like that that we're both interested

00:53:19.070 --> 00:53:21.989
in because we're watching Lemony Snicket's A

00:53:21.989 --> 00:53:24.010
Series of Unfortunate Events on Netflix right

00:53:24.010 --> 00:53:26.889
now. So we'll probably do a recap of that down

00:53:26.889 --> 00:53:29.469
the road. But yeah, as for Gimme Ten, we're done

00:53:29.469 --> 00:53:32.110
again. Never say never on another episode. But

00:53:32.110 --> 00:53:35.650
yeah, you need to have JT on. He's a phenomenal

00:53:35.650 --> 00:53:39.769
guy. Way more interesting than I am and especially

00:53:39.769 --> 00:53:41.730
way more knowledgeable about music you guys I

00:53:41.730 --> 00:53:43.329
would love to hear you guys shoot the breeze

00:53:43.329 --> 00:53:47.769
about music for a while Well, oh gosh, I gotta

00:53:47.769 --> 00:53:51.650
say I am sad that it has come to a conclusion

00:53:51.650 --> 00:53:54.929
probably a final conclusion here, but maybe maybe

00:53:54.929 --> 00:53:58.329
it just makes sense, but you always have the

00:53:58.329 --> 00:54:04.050
body of work and Again, I'm always happy to This

00:54:04.050 --> 00:54:06.289
may be the last plug I put in for it because

00:54:06.289 --> 00:54:09.250
people they'll hear they'll hear me talking about

00:54:09.250 --> 00:54:12.789
give me ten on previous episodes so Go in and

00:54:12.789 --> 00:54:16.590
check it out the I always appreciate And I'm

00:54:16.590 --> 00:54:19.070
trying to get there. Maybe that's something I'm

00:54:19.070 --> 00:54:21.309
trying to do on this episode. You guys just let

00:54:21.309 --> 00:54:26.429
it fly Not a lot of attention to the sound quality

00:54:26.429 --> 00:54:31.769
Especially the early episodes. Yeah a lot of

00:54:31.769 --> 00:54:35.630
snap crackling and popping up. Well, it sounded

00:54:35.630 --> 00:54:37.449
like even though we're in the same room, like

00:54:37.449 --> 00:54:39.250
we're recording from two different ends of the

00:54:39.250 --> 00:54:44.489
house. Yeah, it was. But, you know, I try to

00:54:44.489 --> 00:54:47.289
make this a decent production and but there are

00:54:47.289 --> 00:54:50.210
times where I'm thinking just just put it out

00:54:50.210 --> 00:54:54.070
there, just publish it. Yeah, absolutely. Say

00:54:54.070 --> 00:54:56.750
again, the name of the podcast that you and ever

00:54:56.750 --> 00:55:00.389
have. Oh, it's just there's one episode and it's

00:55:00.389 --> 00:55:04.139
called talking stuff. Talking stuff. P -A -L

00:55:04.139 --> 00:55:08.639
talking, but no G -T -A -L -K -I -N apostrophe

00:55:08.639 --> 00:55:12.159
or hyphen. What's the one in the air? That's

00:55:12.159 --> 00:55:16.000
an apostrophe. Well, I'm really happy that there's

00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:18.159
a father -daughter episode, even if it's just

00:55:18.159 --> 00:55:20.480
gonna be one. I think it's really cool that you're

00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:23.420
doing that. Yeah, I'm excited about it, too.

00:55:23.559 --> 00:55:25.639
There will be more. They'll just be very sporadic,

00:55:25.719 --> 00:55:27.579
but anybody that would love for people to go

00:55:27.579 --> 00:55:29.380
listen to it, she'd be thrilled to see that.

00:55:29.469 --> 00:55:34.530
Somebody listen to besides just us Jim I always

00:55:34.530 --> 00:55:36.510
like when I see you the different threads that

00:55:36.510 --> 00:55:38.690
you're wearing different shirts that you got

00:55:38.690 --> 00:55:43.429
let me ask you this is The Mickey Mouse shirt

00:55:43.429 --> 00:55:47.389
the Superman shirt shirt Cleveland Browns. There's

00:55:47.389 --> 00:55:51.550
one are some of those still in rotation The Mickey

00:55:51.550 --> 00:55:55.829
Mouse is yes Superman long gone. That was a great

00:55:55.829 --> 00:56:07.579
one though, but I way out grew that one , and

00:56:29.559 --> 00:56:32.159
aging and belly and the belly that comes with

00:56:32.159 --> 00:56:35.900
it and you know prolific beer drinking. I've

00:56:35.900 --> 00:56:39.239
noticed that these new like everybody has an

00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:43.639
Old Navy your finer clothe years around Old Navy

00:56:43.639 --> 00:56:46.599
Target. They have these kind of they're like

00:56:46.599 --> 00:56:50.579
sports shirts you know that so they you know

00:56:50.579 --> 00:56:52.699
a cotton t -shirt if you ever know well you don't

00:56:52.699 --> 00:56:54.420
notice them because you're not overweight but

00:56:54.420 --> 00:56:56.320
like a cotton t -shirt even if it fits you good

00:56:56.320 --> 00:56:58.920
on the chest if you got a belly it pokes out

00:56:58.920 --> 00:57:01.159
so it looks even bigger like more moomoo like

00:57:01.159 --> 00:57:02.960
because it doesn't then go around your belly

00:57:02.960 --> 00:57:05.900
and back in towards your waist you know they

00:57:05.900 --> 00:57:08.400
just kind of hang out these new athletic shirts

00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:10.380
they kind of go around your belly and then because

00:57:10.380 --> 00:57:13.300
the way they hang they then go back in some you

00:57:13.300 --> 00:57:17.000
know so i've noticed that a lot of those og t

00:57:17.000 --> 00:57:19.280
-shirts they just make you look make me look

00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:21.920
like i'm wearing a moomoo so big fan of your

00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:27.329
you know 1399 probably 95 polyester Shirts and

00:57:27.329 --> 00:57:29.409
they're breathable because I'm hot all the time

00:57:29.409 --> 00:57:31.769
Do you have the t -shirts that you know that

00:57:31.769 --> 00:57:34.710
hug the guns that really? you know when you're

00:57:34.710 --> 00:57:38.769
out there to really show off the The definition

00:57:38.769 --> 00:57:41.230
and the guns there. Oh, yeah Yeah, the first

00:57:41.230 --> 00:57:43.130
thing when I bring them home is I get Kelly to

00:57:43.130 --> 00:57:45.409
cut out about an inch out of the arms so they're

00:57:45.409 --> 00:57:50.670
just so tight around my biceps my pythons and

00:57:50.670 --> 00:57:52.570
Then you know the rest that takes people dies

00:57:52.570 --> 00:58:00.230
away from the aforementioned belly Oh Dan I love

00:58:00.230 --> 00:58:06.909
your questions Jim what's something we got to

00:58:06.909 --> 00:58:10.449
wrap this up or just over the hour mark, but

00:58:10.449 --> 00:58:13.070
What's something around the house what's your

00:58:13.070 --> 00:58:15.289
record talk? I think we should just you know

00:58:15.289 --> 00:58:19.670
talk about more laundry detergent talk or dryer

00:58:19.670 --> 00:58:26.219
vent I'm sitting here looking at the the timer

00:58:26.219 --> 00:58:29.679
63 minutes and usually when I'm tipping over

00:58:29.679 --> 00:58:33.519
the hour mark, you know, that's too much Well,

00:58:33.760 --> 00:58:36.300
no, it's usually means that we've had a great

00:58:36.300 --> 00:58:39.079
discussion with this particular artist about

00:58:39.079 --> 00:58:43.139
their catalog and Where they're gonna be performing

00:58:43.139 --> 00:58:45.599
next and it's just like wow, this has been going

00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:47.920
pretty well But I'm looking at the hour mark

00:58:47.920 --> 00:58:50.300
here 63 minutes. I'm thinking we have been talking

00:58:50.300 --> 00:58:56.739
about ketchup packets and Dryer vents. My dad,

00:58:56.880 --> 00:59:00.719
your dad. I mean the dad. Father County Road

00:59:00.719 --> 00:59:04.480
51 in West Texas. I think that might be my initial

00:59:04.480 --> 00:59:10.280
favorite segment of this episode. Anytime you

00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:12.900
have me on, I'll read you a new every time that

00:59:12.900 --> 00:59:16.159
can be my segment. I'll read you where my dad's

00:59:16.159 --> 00:59:20.059
been in West Texas. Let me ask you this. We're

00:59:20.059 --> 00:59:23.150
on the Gulf Coast here. We deal with the storms.

00:59:23.150 --> 00:59:25.630
We also deal with the tornadoes and stuff and

00:59:25.630 --> 00:59:28.530
that's a real threat in Birmingham and there's

00:59:28.530 --> 00:59:31.309
ice storms and stuff when you've got inclement

00:59:31.309 --> 00:59:34.789
weather on the way and it's looking pretty bad

00:59:34.789 --> 00:59:37.550
and you and Kelly got to make that that run down

00:59:37.550 --> 00:59:42.309
to Costco or wherever you shop are you Engaging

00:59:42.309 --> 00:59:44.969
in the panic buying or to some extent. Are you

00:59:44.969 --> 00:59:47.449
saying shoot? We better get about four loaves

00:59:47.449 --> 00:59:51.219
here or we need to get two extra cartons of this

00:59:51.219 --> 00:59:55.340
or Do you do a little bit of that or do you just

00:59:55.340 --> 01:00:00.199
say? Hey, let's just Take it easy. I mean, yeah,

01:00:00.199 --> 01:00:04.099
I make sure we have a couple frozen pizzas Maybe

01:00:04.099 --> 01:00:06.880
a loaf of bread always don't have to worry about

01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:09.579
ketchup on my turkey sandwiches because we got

01:00:09.579 --> 01:00:12.699
plenty of packets for that You know some ground

01:00:12.699 --> 01:00:14.599
beef if we need to make a meatloaf in case the

01:00:14.599 --> 01:00:16.960
power goes out But no, I'm not ever really concerned

01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:19.889
about any of that stuff usually That'll probably

01:00:19.889 --> 01:00:22.429
come back to bite me one day, but I think a good

01:00:22.429 --> 01:00:26.150
thing to do is just Buy things like during hurricane

01:00:26.150 --> 01:00:28.949
season down here. I just get a little bit extra

01:00:28.949 --> 01:00:33.230
of certain stuff Not to stockpile that's very

01:00:33.230 --> 01:00:36.090
smart So that when that day comes that week comes

01:00:36.090 --> 01:00:40.269
you can focus on other other things Yeah, you

01:00:40.269 --> 01:00:42.010
don't want this and you especially because this

01:00:42.010 --> 01:00:43.789
is a pockets you want to put out there that you

01:00:43.789 --> 01:00:48.969
buy, you know 14 Bags of you know 30 pack toilet

01:00:48.969 --> 01:00:50.610
paper because people will be looting your house

01:00:50.610 --> 01:00:51.909
because they'll have heard you talk about them

01:00:51.909 --> 01:00:54.849
here. They'll be coming for you for that toilet

01:00:54.849 --> 01:01:00.949
paper. Speaking again about the weather. I love

01:01:00.949 --> 01:01:03.550
how you just immediately, you don't even want

01:01:03.550 --> 01:01:05.949
to keep going down that road. You just change

01:01:05.949 --> 01:01:09.070
the subject, don't you? Well, let me ask, are

01:01:09.070 --> 01:01:11.230
you? There's not a whole lot to go on. There's

01:01:11.230 --> 01:01:13.130
no more to go on with that. Go ahead. Speaking

01:01:13.130 --> 01:01:15.389
of the weather. All right. I was going to ask,

01:01:15.409 --> 01:01:19.329
are you a Charmin guy? Are you a double? Double

01:01:19.329 --> 01:01:24.869
ply, what is it? Double stuffed Oreo. Does it

01:01:24.869 --> 01:01:27.630
matter to you? I don't want to use Oreos for

01:01:27.630 --> 01:01:30.969
that, but yeah, I do like, it does matter. I

01:01:30.969 --> 01:01:36.409
don't want one ply. How do you like it when you're,

01:01:36.809 --> 01:01:39.949
I don't know, if you've been to the airports

01:01:39.949 --> 01:01:45.079
or other public restrooms. And it's just that

01:01:45.079 --> 01:01:46.840
time, okay? You're in the stall, you're doing

01:01:46.840 --> 01:01:48.559
what you need to be doing, and you're reaching

01:01:48.559 --> 01:01:53.980
for the toilet paper. It is the worst paper -thin,

01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:57.619
just budget toilet paper. Maybe airport's not

01:01:57.619 --> 01:01:59.420
a good example, but a business, a restaurant

01:01:59.420 --> 01:02:02.659
or something. You're thinking, really? Really?

01:02:02.719 --> 01:02:06.519
This is the best we can do? It's tearing off

01:02:06.519 --> 01:02:09.659
as I'm trying to pull it down the roll. You're

01:02:09.659 --> 01:02:13.000
putting me through this. Oh, like who makes the

01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:16.480
toilet paper dispensers that are literally a

01:02:16.480 --> 01:02:20.159
nano smidgen bigger than the toilet paper roll

01:02:20.159 --> 01:02:22.219
itself so when you go to pull a piece you can't

01:02:22.219 --> 01:02:24.039
even pull a whole piece because they're in there

01:02:24.039 --> 01:02:28.519
so tight. Like who does that? Make the dispenser

01:02:28.519 --> 01:02:30.639
a little bit larger than the toilet paper roll

01:02:30.639 --> 01:02:32.940
itself so that it rolls freely. Otherwise you

01:02:32.940 --> 01:02:35.159
end up with like sixty little, you know, four

01:02:35.159 --> 01:02:39.460
inch porno squares all over the ground. Do you

01:02:39.460 --> 01:02:44.230
ever have to Tear off or begin the tear on a

01:02:44.230 --> 01:02:47.949
new role in a public restroom well, and you grab

01:02:47.949 --> 01:02:51.949
like Multiple layers and then you start like

01:02:51.949 --> 01:02:59.010
pulling a big chunk like that off Let's move

01:02:59.010 --> 01:03:07.510
it along what was the All right the weather Jim

01:03:07.510 --> 01:03:10.829
I unless I absolutely have to Well, I turn all

01:03:10.829 --> 01:03:13.289
my notifications off. I don't need it. I don't

01:03:13.289 --> 01:03:15.789
want it. I don't take many I don't take many

01:03:15.789 --> 01:03:19.809
shots at People or entities, but I am I really

01:03:19.809 --> 01:03:21.889
just about had it with the weather business.

01:03:22.170 --> 01:03:26.429
Whoa Whoa They just they're making money off

01:03:26.429 --> 01:03:30.210
of Constantly frightening people for no reason.

01:03:30.210 --> 01:03:33.809
It's you know rain is coming our way You ever

01:03:33.809 --> 01:03:37.690
go to like weather calm and there's always it

01:03:37.690 --> 01:03:43.199

01:03:43.199 --> 01:03:46.219
of October and they've got this ominous warning

01:03:46.219 --> 01:03:48.480
about what they don't get too comfortable folks

next week We've got this system moving. Well,

01:03:51.019 --> 01:03:54.619
we always have a system moving in so I just got

01:03:54.619 --> 01:03:59.159
I'm done with it and if I Need to read about

01:03:59.159 --> 01:04:03.460
something then pull it up that morning Absolutely.

01:04:03.699 --> 01:04:06.019
Well you get the warnings and here. Here's another

01:04:06.019 --> 01:04:10.539
thing if you live in a house with more than just

01:04:10.539 --> 01:04:12.619
yourself some other people have cell phones in

01:04:12.619 --> 01:04:15.800
that house so you're going to get those severe

01:04:15.800 --> 01:04:19.059
weather tornado warning alerts on somebody else's

01:04:19.059 --> 01:04:22.699
phone that's going to wake you up or yeah so

01:04:22.699 --> 01:04:25.960
that's my piece on that yeah i'll tell you what

01:04:25.960 --> 01:04:29.219
dan when i become president i will abolish weather

01:04:29.219 --> 01:04:31.400
warnings i'm sure that would go over well with

01:04:31.400 --> 01:04:35.050
everybody just for you Don't get me wrong. There's

01:04:35.050 --> 01:04:36.769
there are times where you need to have a plan

01:04:36.769 --> 01:04:38.750
in place You've got to get to your safe spot

01:04:38.750 --> 01:04:43.530
and terrible weather does strike it does I Think

01:04:43.530 --> 01:04:45.449
you're right. It's just they wear you out with

01:04:45.449 --> 01:04:49.530
the the day -to -day stuff Turn yeah, I turn

01:04:49.530 --> 01:04:53.230
a lot of alerts off It can be very distracting

01:04:53.230 --> 01:04:56.489
Yeah, I just don't allow anything to send me

01:04:56.489 --> 01:04:59.690
notifications. I don't have to worry about it

01:04:59.690 --> 01:05:03.780
Jim one last question on any old Old music you're

01:05:03.780 --> 01:05:07.059
listening to right now. Oh, i've gotten into

01:05:07.059 --> 01:05:12.679
um The band a good bit so we love uh up on crip

01:05:12.679 --> 01:05:16.059
and creek atlantic city I've gotten into a little

01:05:16.059 --> 01:05:18.699
bit of warren zevon lately. I think he's great

01:05:18.699 --> 01:05:22.480
Nice old country. I think last time we spoke

01:05:22.480 --> 01:05:24.260
I was telling you about how it was in the wayland

01:05:24.260 --> 01:05:26.679
jennings, but i've Listened a little bit of toby

01:05:26.679 --> 01:05:31.960
keith r .i .p Um the past couple weeks Yeah Just

01:05:31.960 --> 01:05:34.400
one that he's passed. I'm not a huge fan of his

01:05:34.400 --> 01:05:36.440
overall, but some of those songs, it's fun to

01:05:36.440 --> 01:05:40.500
listen to once or twice. Well, I will say real

01:05:40.500 --> 01:05:43.360
quick about Toby Keith. It's really easy to just

01:05:43.360 --> 01:05:45.900
put him aside. I didn't pay a lot of attention

01:05:45.900 --> 01:05:51.719
to him, say the last 12, 15 plus years. I just,

01:05:52.019 --> 01:05:56.239
I don't know. I like what he was doing the late

01:05:56.239 --> 01:06:00.519
90s, early 2000s. And this is, it's not political

01:06:00.519 --> 01:06:04.679
stance or anything I just It wasn't substantive

01:06:04.679 --> 01:06:08.739
enough for me but some of the I love this bar

01:06:08.739 --> 01:06:12.679
and the beer for my horses and Dream walking

01:06:12.679 --> 01:06:16.280
and those types of songs back then that was fun.

01:06:16.280 --> 01:06:20.860
I was 22 23 And he actually had a he had a really

01:06:20.860 --> 01:06:25.920
good voice at least back then But even his image

01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:29.579
and the caricature that people who didn't like

01:06:29.579 --> 01:06:32.719
his music imagine him to be completely. Oh, he's

01:06:32.719 --> 01:06:36.920
totally in this box. He really wasn't quite what

01:06:36.920 --> 01:06:41.480
you thought he was. You have to you have to look

01:06:41.480 --> 01:06:44.219
at some of these performers and realize that.

01:06:45.400 --> 01:06:48.000
I think he wrote the lyrics of the courtesy of

01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:51.679
the red, white and blue, supposedly on a beverage

01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:55.500
napkin. And it was after 9 -11 and he was red

01:06:55.500 --> 01:06:58.900
hot about it. And, you know, a lot of us. had

01:06:58.900 --> 01:07:02.360
pretty strong feelings. And so that, that takes

01:07:02.360 --> 01:07:05.940
off and that, that kind of changes his brand.

01:07:06.940 --> 01:07:09.320
And so what do you do when you're just, you're

01:07:09.320 --> 01:07:12.699
holding onto that rocket and up you go, why would

01:07:12.699 --> 01:07:14.480
you, you're just going to double down on that.

01:07:15.480 --> 01:07:18.519
So that's how he made his money. And that's the

01:07:18.519 --> 01:07:21.159
way I look at it, but. Well, and I didn't even

01:07:21.159 --> 01:07:23.000
really think about that should have been a cowboy

01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:27.380
was from 93. I just always kind of I forget about

01:07:27.380 --> 01:07:29.840
that song and that it was him and and he brought

01:07:29.840 --> 01:07:33.599
up on my Spotify He wrote those lyrics to a lot

01:07:33.599 --> 01:07:37.159
of those artists country artists They sing them.

01:07:37.159 --> 01:07:39.500
I mean Jason Aldean. I don't know if he writes

01:07:39.500 --> 01:07:43.119
he might write some of his music, but Yeah, Toby

01:07:43.119 --> 01:07:46.480
Keith wrote a lot of the lyrics Yeah, and he

01:07:46.480 --> 01:07:49.239
I just you don't realize that his career didn't

01:07:49.239 --> 01:07:51.539
start with 9 -eleven He was you know, making

01:07:51.539 --> 01:07:55.239
hit songs in plus years before that almost Yeah.

01:07:55.280 --> 01:07:58.420
Yeah, RIP to him. That was terrible. So, but

01:07:58.420 --> 01:08:00.099
that's mostly what I've been listening to. I

01:08:00.099 --> 01:08:02.860
don't have a real, I mean, playlist is pretty

01:08:02.860 --> 01:08:04.619
eclectic, but I haven't listened to much news

01:08:04.619 --> 01:08:07.460
since we spoke, except for maybe that Warren's

01:08:07.460 --> 01:08:09.300
Yvonne stuff a little bit. I've gotten into him

01:08:09.300 --> 01:08:14.019
some. Well, I was hoping you might maybe sing

01:08:14.019 --> 01:08:19.359
us out with a... Oh, I should have been a cowboy.

01:08:20.119 --> 01:08:23.659
Should have learned to run an open ride. That's

01:08:23.659 --> 01:08:25.699
not really singing though. That's like me imitating

01:08:25.699 --> 01:08:29.199
him singing. Is that going to have to get cut

01:08:29.199 --> 01:08:31.880
too? I don't think you give yourself enough credit.

01:08:32.079 --> 01:08:37.579
I think you need to find someone to record you.

01:08:39.020 --> 01:08:43.060
Get some studio time booked. Okay, I'll do it.

01:08:43.500 --> 01:08:45.520
Maybe next time you come up, bring your fancy

01:08:45.520 --> 01:08:49.279
podcast equipment. We'll make it that way. Send

01:08:49.279 --> 01:08:54.800
out some demo tapes. Well, and this has been

01:08:54.800 --> 01:08:57.159
great. Thank you for having me buddy. Thanks

01:08:57.159 --> 01:08:59.960
for being here Jim anything else you want to

01:08:59.960 --> 01:09:07.600
promote plug or State oh Man, that's a great

01:09:07.600 --> 01:09:11.600
question Hey, I'm looking at my notes here some

01:09:11.600 --> 01:09:15.020
of the questions. I was planning to ask I wish

01:09:15.020 --> 01:09:17.619
I had a picture of it, and they're all bulleted

01:09:17.619 --> 01:09:22.420
point bullet bullet pointed Bullet pointed, yeah.

01:09:22.479 --> 01:09:24.239
I just scribbled them out. One of them just says,

01:09:24.239 --> 01:09:27.300
would you? And then I didn't finish the thought.

01:09:30.319 --> 01:09:33.680
Would you? Everybody show up. Would you? Would

01:09:33.680 --> 01:09:37.340
you? So I guess that's my last question of the

01:09:37.340 --> 01:09:44.659
day is, Jim, would you? Dan? You would, would

01:09:44.659 --> 01:09:48.539
you? Absolutely. I knew you would. No hesitation.

01:09:48.739 --> 01:09:59.649
You know it. Remember folks if it's You know

01:09:59.649 --> 01:10:02.670

01:10:02.670 --> 01:10:05.010
are getting a little dusty around the house You

01:10:05.010 --> 01:10:07.689
hadn't cranked that lawnmower all winter. You

01:10:07.689 --> 01:10:10.829
know you need to do at least once get out there

01:10:10.829 --> 01:10:14.710
and Crank it up. Make sure it still runs properly

01:10:14.710 --> 01:10:16.569

or maybe lay out some stations for termites,

01:10:36.300 --> 01:10:39.260
you really need to consider that. If you haven't

01:10:39.260 --> 01:10:41.439
got your car washed in a while, it's about time.

01:10:41.560 --> 01:10:47.060
You know when it's time to get that thing vacuumed,

01:10:47.420 --> 01:10:50.859
