We went out with Combs. He just plants it to a little two acre plot and and usually it's it's a few of us and we just roll down there and we shot three three man lemon in two hours. 00:17:49 Speaker 2: Damn just got it. 00:17:50 Speaker 1: Got out there at uh sunrise. 00:17:53 Speaker 2: It was it was so much fun. Man. He's got this room. Man that when when they at the place, apparently a guy had like a I don't know if it was a hunting room, you know, I'm talking about in the room in the barn. Yeah, I don't know how you'd explain it. 00:18:08 Speaker 1: But he's he just puts all this a little man room, dude, little man hunting. 00:18:11 Speaker 2: He puts his hunting stuff in there and then he has like a one of those things called like like a radio player. Radio he just got old. He's got George Jones and he put alive George Jones and hit play five thirty in the morning. We're drinking coffee. He has a little coffee pie in there. We drink coffee's and go out and I was like, man, I think I was just sitting here. 00:18:34 Speaker 1: He's super like he's he's OCD so like he's very so. 00:18:38 Speaker 2: Everything in that room he walk into. 00:18:39 Speaker 1: Everything's hung up perfect, there's like little spots for everything. Everything's it's like perfectly organized, perfectly clean. 00:18:45 Speaker 2: He's got a camo recliner in there. And uh. He was like, you know, I didn't spend too much time in here when we've had babies, He's like, but now that they're a little older, He's like, I spend a lot of time just trying to get it there clear. He's like, I'll sneak got a little plug in the unit, but that blows cold air in there. Sit every now and then I'll come in here and just real quick found the noise out. Dove Hunt's fun. Have you ever done any dove hunt? Oh? 00:19:14 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, my favorite dove hunt. We actually we went Friday, but like did they want the breathing birds. They actually turn ended up turning out like six hundred, letting them loose later on in the evening because people are paying for hunts. Oh really like, yeah, we plaid the show where like you buy a ticket or you could buy a hunt for the day and you got a ticket for that night to the show, to the show. It was a really bad concept. But the birds were thin man, so at the end of the night they had to turn loose six hundreds. For the rest of the weekend they had they had bird. My favorite hunt was down there in Lubbock, though I went it's probably about five years ago. I was still living in Lubbock five or six years ago, and a company called Smoking Mount Doors down there in Texas. Good buddies of mine took me up there to a field and Lubbock just on the outskirts and it was sunrise first to the first week into December. 00:20:16 Speaker 2: Cold. 00:20:16 Speaker 4: Well, you talk about cold like you could fill your hands. And Lubbock is different when it's cold because when the wind blows, it's a painful, very painful cold can just dry and then the. 00:20:26 Speaker 2: Wind just hits you. 00:20:28 Speaker 4: It feels like negative fifteen, negative twenty just piercing you. And so you're standing out there holding your gun and you can't fit your fingers. But like, do you talk about just flocks every every time you turned, if it just flocked. I think we the three of us limited out somewhere around within that two hour range. 00:20:47 Speaker 2: It goes pretty quick. They were just everywhere. God is fun, man, when they're everywhere flying. 00:20:52 Speaker 4: When it's fly too right, so there's not like a load of trees that's flat, like you can see you can watch the flocks come in from half a mile down. 00:21:00 Speaker 2: That's one of the most fun thing. 00:21:01 Speaker 1: What we talked about too, is like is being able to see him and seeing those three and four and five and six packs come in and holler, you know, coming over with the right And then did they just work perfect? And they come in low and you shoot them here and stuff and they had a you know, sky bang them and yeah, it's fun. Yeah, I shot some of my house recently last time. My son loves them. He wants to go doub hunting so bad. Yesterday he was on the swing. 00:21:26 Speaker 2: Griffin ate the hell out of them. 00:21:27 Speaker 1: Last ate the hell out of I almost messed her up because I gave her a piece that was too spicy. 00:21:32 Speaker 2: First, what you put on Courtney and Jason? The berry berry dust? 00:21:37 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, which is like a bunch of garlsts, a lot of pepper in there. 00:21:41 Speaker 2: It's pretty spicy. 00:21:42 Speaker 1: That's I feel like that is almost four Uh, like big red meat, like big. 00:21:49 Speaker 2: Steaks that you're going to burn off, that's right, but you're going to keep on long and you can't dust that. Barry. You can't go Barry, that's crazy on doves. No, No, you can't. So how did you did you tempt them? Or how did you know they were? I did? 00:22:00 Speaker 1: I just I just started the trigger and I just put it on four hundred to get it, because it usually if you put it on four hundred's gonna cook at three twenty three thirty. 00:22:08 Speaker 2: And uh, that's all I put out. 00:22:10 Speaker 1: Just did a little little vegetable ol and uh, just sprinkle berry dust on them and then laid them on there and they cooked for maybe ten minutes. 00:22:19 Speaker 2: They cooked so fast. I cooked them. I cooked him a little. 00:22:21 Speaker 1: I got them to like one twenty one thirty and then just got my cast iron hot and just like crysted them up on it and crunched them up on each side. Gave him a crust to it. Yeah, took them off at once. 00:22:33 Speaker 2: Breakfasts, some bird let's go. 00:22:36 Speaker 1: It was funny because we had like I had, like, you know, ten or twelve breasts and Jordan was like, you gonna cook those doves tonight? And I was like sure. I was like, what else we gonna have with it? She's like, I mean, I'll do vegetables and stuff. I was like, well, it's not a lot of not a lot of meat. She was like, no, it'll be plenty. So I cooked them up and I had them in a little bowl. I was like, hey, the duck, the dove was ready, and she came here, she goes, where's the rest of it? 00:22:55 Speaker 2: I was like, I was like, that's it. 00:22:57 Speaker 1: I was like the breast, I mean, that's like snacks man. Yeah, pop them, but god dang, they're good, dude. 00:23:02 Speaker 2: They put them in a halipinia poppers. Oh yeah, I know. Yeah. 00:23:06 Speaker 4: Friend of mine cooked up one time on his trigger duck poppers and uh and dove poppers and uh. 00:23:16 Speaker 2: The greatest phenomenon. 00:23:18 Speaker 1: I know people talk trash about the Super Bowl party on top of that, Yeah, let's go, dude, I could eat a million of them. 00:23:24 Speaker 2: I could eat a million of them. I always wondered if you did one of those Argentina things where you can shoot like a million, if you're like, can I the back, can I take nine hundred of these back with me? You know they killed like the thouls. Now I didn't know that. Yeah, there's a down in Argentina. They do these guy that hunts. 00:23:37 Speaker 1: Where they ruined. They ruined ranches down there by eating them and the and by what you're saying, the dove on them. Yeah yeah, birds yeah. Yeah, it's like hogs in Texas. Literally there's no limit. 00:23:50 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:23:51 Speaker 1: So, like, you've got a guy when you go down there, You've got a guy sitting beside you. 00:23:54 Speaker 2: Two guns. 00:23:55 Speaker 1: There's three, no three, three shotguns. He's handing you a gun. You're shooting three, he's loading the other one. You hand him the empty gunny and you want to. 00:24:03 Speaker 2: And they tab on how many, how many shots you've taken and how many you've hiit really yeah, and you can see your percentages at the end of the year. It's pretty cool. It's incredible. 00:24:12 Speaker 1: It is, man, it's a I mean that's you know, I'm pretty sure they shoot everything that flies though like parakeet. 00:24:17 Speaker 2: They because they're nuisance too.

Anyway, he kept on the killing He's like finally he's like, okay, man, I'll go with you whatever. He gets on. They go up. Without getting ridiculously detailed about the story. Basically, something malfunction happened where it just kept running until it ran out of gas and then just fell out of the sky, like brutal. Right, you've heard this right. I didn't know about all that. I just knew he did add in the helicopters. 00:26:43 Speaker 1: Yeah, crash, Yeah, I mean it was brutal supposedly, I mean yeah, apparently, like I mean that had enough time to call people and yeah, yeah, all of his office i'd have been beating the ship. 00:26:54 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, this gonna be my last five minutes. I'm taking this off. I'm throwing out. 00:27:00 Speaker 5: Uh. 00:27:00 Speaker 2: Anyway, what's this guy's not gosh all over the world corn God, sorry, he's I couldn't remember, no for sake.

That dude have been there for years and like I'm talking like at least twenty sixteen seventeen since I've been going there. He's always set up right out there in the field next to house. Past year taking who everyoneants to go up and they go ride right there because it's like the Frio River right, so there's canyons, it's beautiful. 00:28:21 Speaker 2: It's apparently a really cool ride. 00:28:23 Speaker 4: All my guys have done it, like almost everybody I know have done it, and every time they're like you want to go Nope, absolutely not, I do not want to get in there. This past year that guy crashed, no way, and I was like, the rest his soul. 00:28:40 Speaker 2: But that's yeah, yeah, Oh for sure. Yeah, it's not worth it. 00:28:45 Speaker 4: Yeah, no worth you never know, man, And they're not They're not made the land. Where where's home for you? Where'd you grow up? I grew up in Amarillo. I grew up so technically. I grew up in Herford for thirteen years, graduated out of Embrillo, which is where I was born. And then now, once I graduated high school, I dipped down to Lubbock, followed high school, sweetheart down there. I lived in Lubber for twelve years. Texas Tech may what is it? 00:29:14 Speaker 2: There for a year? Raiders guns up all of it. Uh. I was down there for a year and a half. Ern I broke up second semester as it happens. Yeah, and uh I stayed in my dorm room writing songs and ended up falling out of Tech. Stop going to class. 00:29:33 Speaker 4: Yeh so I still to this day remember calling my dad and going, hey, man, I know what you spent I know with them, I know, I know you've borrowed before one K. I know all these things. I want to apologize for wasting your money and your time. I'm not going back to Tech. You're not going I'm not going. Just calm down, just listen to I'm not going back to Tech. I have a plan. Well, I'd like to hear this plan. I'm going to go to South Plans College, which is right down the road. It's eighteen hundred semester. I spent eighteen k at Tech. Yeah, like, yeah, I'm going for eighteen hundred semester. I'll find a way to figure out how to pay it and I'll take care of it, and I'm gonna go actually get into a field that I know I'm going to use in my career, not business major, music minor at tech. Like you minoring something, you might as well major in it, right. I wanted to play music, and South Plans offered a program where you could learn science technology. There was a music program for to be a musician, to be an artist, and there was a live sound program. So it helped in all three fields of what I was doing, and learn how to produce my own records, got a sound tech degree and hit the road running. So I spent twelve years down there in Lebwick just figuring it out. Yeah, figuring it all out, learning the roads the horrible. 00:31:00 Speaker 2: You get your band and start playing. After the we. 00:31:03 Speaker 4: Played we played every little Die bar in Lubbock for for a while, just trying to get our feet wet, trying to get name out there, at least in Lubbock. And then we figured out if you play lesson Lubbock, you get bigger crowns. So we started up hitting the radius and spending an out one hundred miles, two hundred miles, three hundred miles. Eventually got to the point where we played Lubbock once a year. But it's always on the stop, always got to go back to it. 00:31:29 Speaker 2: Yeah, where's the place, where's the where's the place to play? Uh? 00:31:33 Speaker 4: My home bar is the Blue Light Live. So there's a bunch of artists that come out of there. I mean, Lubby's been home to a ton of artists, especially lately these days. I mean started with obviously all the way back in the day with Buddy Holly Whaling, Jennings, Joey Lee, mac Davis, you can you can go all the way back there, and then to the like late nineties, early two thousands with Coreymorrow and Pat Green, and then it was Wade Bowing, Josh Abbitt, William Clark, Green, Atlant Cavalry myself, and then uh, now it's you've got Hudson Westbrook, he's out of Lubbock. He's a Red Raider, Grant Gilbert slid Coulter. There's a ton of dudes that are crazy. Man, it just list goes on. But everybody, the samebody has come up through the blue light and it's been it's been the home bar, it's been the spot. 00:32:28 Speaker 2: All right, man, I want to put your own spot here, give me, give me the mount Rushmore of Texas music, of Texas music. Yeah, I know it hurts. I know that's tough, man. I know it's tough. You've got four head there's four. Yeah, it's it's hard because it's you're not everyone's. You're a mount rushing my Mount Rushmore of guys out of Texas that you can't put yourself, I would put your own mind. Well, I appreciate that. I would not put me on yours, man. 00:33:10 Speaker 4: I would say out of the guys have been just majorly impactful in country music out of Texas, obviously George Straight uh Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson. I'm gonna throw a fourth. I'd probably toss in there, probably tossing there. Gary p Nine, I love Gary Pine. I think I think he's been super impactful within the entire Texas music industry. 00:33:39 Speaker 2: So that's that's a tough one. You got, you got a lot of really, there's so Texas man, Yeah, that's insane. Singer songwriters too, that's just there's contes. 00:33:52 Speaker 4: Yeah, and then you look at what's going on these days out there now, like with Kojo and Parker mccollumn, co. 00:33:59 Speaker 2: Edzel, all these guys have Texas that. 00:34:01 Speaker 4: Are just enormous now, tom Myers, Hudson Westbrook, all these guys selling out massive, massive venues. 00:34:08 Speaker 1: Yes, I think countries once that that style of music.

But that's somebody I need like being for Tennessee. I feel like I feel like Garth Brooks was pulled more, you know, and and Joe Diffy and these guys were pulled more than like I feel like, if you're from Texas, George straight is obviously the king, but like that's somebody that I don't know. 00:39:09 Speaker 2: Bob Willis but like according to Texas, Bob Wills will always that's not George. 00:39:16 Speaker 1: Something I just need to Oh yeah, I just need to listen to George a whole lot. 00:39:22 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean everything's good, there's not there's not bad.

God man, he's just it's just gold. 00:40:51 Speaker 1: Oh So the story, Uh, it was good at interviewing. 00:40:57 Speaker 4: Didn't didn't have that song, and uh it was on hold for Johnny Paycheck. 00:41:03 Speaker 2: He wanted he wrote it for Johnny Paycheck. He wanted Paycheck to cut it. 00:41:06 Speaker 4: Well, Johnny Paycheck was in jail, and uh, they had this new artist over there that they had signed, the young artist, George Straight. They needed a song on him. So I think it was a producer. Producer called Dan up and was like, hey, man, got this young kid, George Straight. And then the song we want to we want to have him sing this, We want to put it out of his first single. 00:41:29 Speaker 2: Then he goes, who, I've done the same thing. 00:41:33 Speaker 4: They were like paycheck's in jail man, like he record at least eight months. He said, yeah, give it to him, give it to him. And then that was his first single, but it wasn't a number one, but it was his first single out there got. 00:41:46 Speaker 2: Them, It wasn't that was his first single, number one. Dang iconic song. 00:41:51 Speaker 1: They always one of the number one ionic that song was on it straight somebody that. It just feels like he was always Texas though, like it felt like he didn't. He doesn't feel like a Nashville country artist. To me, he never was, you know what I'm saying. He never he never moved to that, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, but I mean he's he's still i mean, what sixty something number one as an. 00:42:12 Speaker 2: Artist and he's one than that. 00:42:14 Speaker 1: I think that he's like sixty Yeah, I thought he's seventy. But I mean it's just always he just always felt like, you know, like I'm going to bring him up again, but Garth felt like you could run down here and talk to him. 00:42:27 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:42:27 Speaker 1: Straight, just felt like he was always like a long as a way, yeah, you know, doing his own thing, playing. 00:42:33 Speaker 4: You know, it's a difference in difference in stars right, because there's one star that's like big giant energy, puts on a show and like super personal always and everything. You always see Garth, that dude is. He'll shake your hand, sit there, He'll talk to you all day long. Where Like then you have the star that's like you feel like you can't touch him. That's right, You're like the elusiveness is powerful, mister, Yeah, for sure. Like it's two different kind of two different kind of stars man, both massively powerful. 00:43:06 Speaker 2: Though. 00:43:06 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's super interesting. Dynamic, the difference in dynamic, it's so different. I've never really thought about that. But you're very very true. 00:43:14 Speaker 2: I mean you really never see George doing interviews or kind of anything. Man. 00:43:18 Speaker 4: You catch him around sometimes, like really incognito ball cap, just like a regular little jacket hiding off somewhere. 00:43:26 Speaker 2: Just never met him or seeing him or anything. I've seen him around. Never met him. You've seen him? Where have you seen him around? I've seen him around. I played his golf course one time. Uh, I don't remember the name of the golf course. It burned down like not long after I. 00:43:40 Speaker 4: Played it, but it was the first time I met Dean Dylon. It was me Aaron Copeland and Kyle Park and we were sitting there doing a song swap and uh, this was back when George's keys player was managing. Uh, Kyle and Aaron gotcha and uh, my manager, how He Edelman called me and was like, Hey, let's come down here and we'll play this. It's a little little benefit on the golf course up there. George trades he'll probably be around. 00:44:12 Speaker 2: Kick out du Yeah. 00:44:13 Speaker 4: So me and Colin Aaron, we're sitting up there, were playing on stage and we're singing our songs and Kyle's like, hey, we only play our favorite Keith Whitley songs. Cool, done do I'm gonna bust into Mia Miami right. Well, I'm playing it. I'm singing it. First verse, in singing it, hit the second chorus, and this old man. 00:44:41 Speaker 2: Walks up.

Come in the middle of playing the song acoustic? Is it all acoustic? All acoustics? And I'm like in the middle of the planet and watching this dude and I mean he's. 00:45:01 Speaker 4: Decked out looks like a star ritch golf. Of course, play Miami. Who wrote Miami Miami. That's Dean Dillon And I was like, that's got to be Dean Delon. I've never seen Dylan, didn't didn't know what he looked like. And Dan's just slow, swaggy Yes, gets up and I was just went yep. I stood back and I kept playing guitar and I looked over and he starts singing Miami Miami, and I was like, this might be the coolest thing I've ever seen. And Kyle hands on his guitar after I get done, and he goes, boys, y'all want to sing one more? Yes, sir, mister Dylon, come on, and. 00:45:44 Speaker 6: He should we play Let's play? Oh yeah, let's play Tennessee Whiskey. 00:45:56 Speaker 2: And I said, yeah, let's go. We're sitting there and he goes, which version, which version should do? There's you know, I think we should do Chris? Is that one made me the most money? I was like, yeah, cool, just cool. Yeah, he's cool man, He's well when I met him, he was a cigarette smoking son of I mean, I'm talking about lating them all. Oh yeah, manting on off? Is he not anymore? I don't know. I hadn't seen him in ten years, but I always always I probably told this story on here. 00:46:33 Speaker 1: That's another guy man that just feels he's a ghost, but he's done everything. It just all Aura. 00:46:40 Speaker 4: Mana went down to his ranch in Gunnis and Colorado in the fall of twenty twenty. 00:46:48 Speaker 2: He brought me up to go right, had like I had three days with him. Yeah, that's probably full circle moment for it was like it was, it was really impressive. It's something that. 00:47:01 Speaker 4: As amazing, like my songwriting Mount Rushmore, Tony Lane and come on, that's my god, that's you mentioned run earlier Tony Lane. 00:47:12 Speaker 2: Oh he's killing. 00:47:16 Speaker 5: Uh. 00:47:18 Speaker 4: So he were sitting up there and the whole time I was like, this is Dean Dylan. Oh I got to bring my a game right for writing when I write, Like we've we've alreadden together. Like I'm sitting there and I'm just in my head turning, turning sentences together before I spit them out. So I'm sitting there thinking, I don't just like mumble jumble and spit out words. To spit out words, That's not what I do when I write. So Dean sitting there looking at me, and I'm trying to string some sentences together then spit him spit them out, and he keeps saying some stuff, spitting out some lines, looking at me, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, like that, hold on, I was thinking. And then he finally looks up and he goes, son, if you don't say some words and spit out some lines, you might as well writ by yourself. 00:48:14 Speaker 2: Yeah, I got you. I all started saying, I just said it's good or bad. It don't matter if it's good or bad. 00:48:22 Speaker 4: That's how we write together, all right, all right, I don't want to sound like a. 00:48:29 Speaker 2: Crap line. Spit it out. The first time I wrote with him, I brought this idea. I had this this concept, and it's a pretty cool story my when my granddad came home from war, my grandmother was at my aunt's house. She had a bunch of them dead bolts on her door. You know, it was a long time she couldn't get them open, and she said, somebody opened this door. And I wanted to write a song I had I had. I'm sorry, I can't say I wanted to write a song. I had the concept of that door. Seeing my granddad coming home and saying it's the only customer. The only customord that door I ever heard was my grandmother saying open that door to get to my granddad. Right. So I was telling him I was over explaining it like a hundred I just overexplained. I could feel myself trying to kill the idea, right, and he was he has that long food anchew beard thing and he was like doing like this and at the end of it, and I was even second guess. I was like, yeah, but you know what I keep running into at the end of the day, it's just a four by Yeah, it's quiet, and he's quiet. 00:49:28 Speaker 4: He sis here and he quiet, and he's thinking about the idea, and so you start second guessing yourself. 00:49:36 Speaker 2: It was me and I got more that's what I was doing. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, you're waiting for me and Benjie Davis just sitting there and he he loves the story too. Were I was like, but you know what, man, at the end of the day, it's like a four by six piece of wood, Like it's just a piece of wood. And he was like, yeah, but I did okay with the chair. And I was like, ship if there was a guy you're gonna write a song about a piece of wood with probably the guy the chair. 00:50:07 Speaker 4: Yeah, man, he's though, Man, what's that legendary dude? 00:50:14 Speaker 2: What's the guy he wrote the chair with? Oh? I don't know. 00:50:16 Speaker 4: He goes He was telling me about he goes down there to he'd go down there to the Florida Keys and they'd get on the boat and they'd. 00:50:23 Speaker 2: Write, Oh yeah, yeah. They were only for like, why is his name slipping? I don't know. He told me they do a buch of cocaine, smoked cigarettes and wrote songs for like weeks. Yeah, I can't remember guy's name. I know you're about what Jordan's here? She would look at he said. 00:50:38 Speaker 4: The chair was like, I think one of the easier songs that they ever wrote. 00:50:42 Speaker 2: It just came together. That's cool. Yeah, those are the ones that you're like, yeah, yeah, that was my chair. 00:50:50 Speaker 1: That's a that's a that's a fan grave grave written around here. A lot of people do that. Yeah, a lot of people like that song too. Talk about your transition from Texas to Nashville a little bit like, uh. 00:51:00 Speaker 2: Is it you got it? Ain't Cochrane? Yes?

Her name was Laura Markham was set there and we made decent money back then, and uh, we're. 00:52:39 Speaker 2: Just doing acoustic stuff. 00:52:41 Speaker 4: And he reached out through Facebook, of all places, as a DM through Facebook. Didn't send me an email, didn't reach out figure out my number and call me. 00:52:51 Speaker 2: Like, he sent a Facebook DM like a weirdo. 00:52:54 Speaker 4: And I read it all and it was like, hey, this has got gooder her manager blah blah blah. 00:52:59 Speaker 2: I went. 00:53:01 Speaker 4: This book slept to the side. Yeah, and my drummer at the time, it was like, let me see that, let me see that. I'll just google him, googled him, looked him up, and he goes, hey, man, you should probably call this guy back. He's just a legit, real deal. I was like, all right, So I linked up with Scott. I drove from Lubbock, drove from Lubbock all the way here to Nashville January of twenty fifteen to meet him for the first time, saying to play some songs and get to know him. And he goes, what else you're doing up here? You have other meetings and stuff. I said, no, man, I literally drove all the way out here just to meet you. 00:53:39 Speaker 2: I will shu. 00:53:39 Speaker 4: I would have known that. I would have set you up at least some other meetings something. 00:53:43 Speaker 2: I feel bad. 00:53:44 Speaker 4: Yeah, and he goes, well, if you're not doing anything in town, go watch the Rhymen. It's at the operations at the Rhymen and they only do it for unlimited amount of time. 00:53:54 Speaker 2: I go see it. It's the first time I got to see Montgomery gentry. Oh wow, that's cool. 00:53:58 Speaker 4: Yeah, experience I'll never forget. And it made me fall in love with one of the experiences I've made me fall in love with this town. And so I've been keeping in touch with him for years at that point, sending him songs, and summer of sixteen he heard hear me write a couple of songs and he was like, yeah, that's it. 00:54:20 Speaker 2: I wrote a song called Another Bullet. 00:54:22 Speaker 4: Which is the first DP ever put out, and he goes, if you can write that song, you can hang in Nashville, going okay, So he started bringing me up here somewmer of sixteen, and every month and a half I was flying up writing. 00:54:35 Speaker 2: That's when we wrote you were doing. 00:54:37 Speaker 1: That, huh yeah, man, the first time we over in a little building over here, huh yeah, because you hadn't moved yet. 00:54:43 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:54:47 Speaker 4: So I was coming up here every month and a half, and then I was coming up here once a month, and then through the years, as everything got busier, there was more things going on. I was flying up here literally three weeks out. 00:54:58 Speaker 2: Of the month. Yeah. 00:55:00 Speaker 4: So March of twenty twenty one, I just started dating Brittany and she lived up here, and I was like, you know what, I'm here three weeks out of the month. Anyway, I'm just gonna move here. There's no point and even. 00:55:15 Speaker 2: Trying to mess with having a place somewhere in Texas. Yeah, I'm just gonna move up here. 00:55:19 Speaker 4: So I moved up here, and transition wouldn't all that hard, man. It just it's just a matter of flying back and forth to Texas for bus call, yeah, and uh, dealing with the potholes in this town. 00:55:30 Speaker 2: Yeah, Texas for bus call. I either a fly to Texas to go hit bus call, or I'll fly to the show for real. Uh, huh is your band still down there? Everybody's down there.

Right, so, like you see things that have been that have been to I mean, go to Paris and you're seeing Notre dime I things that you wouldn't normally get to see ever. 00:57:11 Speaker 2: And uh, going over there. 00:57:14 Speaker 4: The fact that, like my I have fans out there and my fans are isn't that crazy? 00:57:18 Speaker 2: They support the tour singing songs back to you. 00:57:20 Speaker 4: I'm able to go travel the world doing what I love and actually make money doing it. 00:57:25 Speaker 2: And it's I mean, it's incredible. Yeah. I feels like we're cheating a little bit, right, It's like it's real. 00:57:31 Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. Okay, we didn't talk about this. We kind of got any music. But I want to hear the story about your dad getting hooked while y'all were drug fishing. 00:57:42 Speaker 2: What. 00:57:44 Speaker 4: Okay, So, first of y'all know drug fishing that you can't fish. I mean, I'm assuming I don't have to explain that. 00:57:50 Speaker 2: You know, my dad's probably drug fisher. 00:57:52 Speaker 4: Right now, we'll put it in Laman terms for anybody listening that don't know how to don't know what that is. I have a family union every year. So we go out there to lake take soma. 00:58:01 Speaker 2: You jug face, Yeah, that's what I'm talking. That's what. We run two pontoon. 00:58:06 Speaker 4: Boats and set it out there, and it's don't drink, drink Oh no, there's no alcohol. 00:58:12 Speaker 2: You probably don't fry them after yeah, you don't. You don't eat what you catch. Probably this is called catch and release, judge. So you got, uh, you. 00:58:24 Speaker 4: Get twenty four twenty four to thirty jugs per boat. We set them out and spread them out across the lake and uh typically run through the channels. But the jugs, you know, you get your weight typically like you know, take a sonic cup filled with concrete with. 00:58:39 Speaker 2: A little Okay, that's a whole nother thing. We make our own joke. Okay, okay, so we. 00:58:46 Speaker 4: We we put the my hugs in there and then it all sets and then that's your concrete weight. Then you run your line, and uh, you can set five hooks up and down this line, and then you tie an empty gallon jug. Whether it's a milk, drug colon, colon, yeah, whatever, you don't bottle like it's I think it's got to be. 00:59:06 Speaker 2: I think today there was. 00:59:08 Speaker 4: Like a rule that had to be clear. Really there at one point it had to be clear. 00:59:13 Speaker 2: I wonder why that is. I don't I don't know. 00:59:15 Speaker 4: I mean, you see tide jugs and there a bit the chicken liver we used, we used shad so well we'll run cast nets and go cut catch her own in the morning. The family union I'm trying to go to the first time I met Jake Worthington, I invited him out to my family re union. Yeah dude, old buddies playing guitar and whatnot. And he goes, you know, we never met, right, And I said no, I thought we've met before. He goes, no, we just been literally messaging each other on social media and I went, welcome. 00:59:51 Speaker 2: To the family. 00:59:54 Speaker 5: There. 00:59:55 Speaker 2: We got there and. 00:59:56 Speaker 4: Uh, we run these would run these jugs were baiting our own lines with had that we've caught on cast. 01:00:01 Speaker 2: Net and. 01:00:04 Speaker 4: My dad had a My dad had a bass boat before the pontoon boat. So we were running out of the bass boat and. 01:00:11 Speaker 2: Uh, that's how we do it too. I want to know how you learned about the story too. By the way, it's on your sheet, is it? 01:00:18 Speaker 4: It's on the sheet now, that's right, wondering who my team even knows this story. So we had that, we got, we got the we got the bass boat. And it's not easy running drugs out of a basket. No, it's not a lot of stuff. 01:00:32 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, a lot of hooks, a lot of lines, a lot of weight, a lot of boats where it's at like it's yeah, they're made for it. Some room, there's some room to move around. Yeah. 01:00:40 Speaker 4: So we're in this we're in this bass boat and my nephew is only like maybe eleven twelve years old at this time, and uh, I'm running the bass boat because daddy can't drive worth of damn. 01:00:53 Speaker 2: He can't put he can't put you on a jug. Yeah, I got one too, I know how that we got one. 01:00:59 Speaker 4: So I put him on. He reached over and he got it and he's pulling pulling it in. We're up on a sandbar pretty close to the boat dock and uh, it's like a thirty five pound catfish something like that. Decent, decent fish. Yeah, right, so his own and it's it's fighting him and whatnot. 01:01:20 Speaker 2: And he's got a strong arm. 01:01:22 Speaker 4: Man, God, get this on the boat puts him in what it's pretty lively. So it starts flipping around while he's freaking out because there's hooks and my nephews in the back, and he's reaches over, grabs the line and that fish jerked and I heard him go anyway right right through his thumb. He's probably the toughest man I've ever seen in my life because he sit there with that that hook right through his thumb and he goes, cut the line. 01:01:52 Speaker 2: Cut the line. Cut the line. I'm sure that fish is still jerking rolling, cut it, cut it. And he goes, I just cut the line. Fishes flopping around, and I looked over and I said, wow, what's happening And he showed me and that thing was like barb was all the way out. Yeah, so they went through. 01:02:12 Speaker 4: Yeah, So he goes, I need the needle nose. He took the needle nose flyers and he cuts the off the hook. 01:02:20 Speaker 2: He know, you don't go back in it's already through. 01:02:24 Speaker 4: So he cuts the barb off and he sits there and he pulls it all the way through his thumb and I said, what are we gonna do now? And he goes, you're gonna hand me that whiskey. So he takes a whiskey, takes a pull, pours a. 01:02:37 Speaker 2: Whiskey on it, wraps it, calls it a day. And I was like, oh, yeah, that's old man fishing by guy. He dang right, Yeah, that's tough. I love that man. I don't know how I've never been. I mean, I've put little hooks, but I've never been like hook cooked, have you? 01:02:55 Speaker 1: Yeah, not like that, not to where you had to cut it and pushing through the new way to do it is is wherever it's hooked, tie you know, like fifty pound braid or so if you got braid in the boat tied and then just grab that eye and bring it down to where the hooks kind of leaning and you tie that and you just I mean pop it and they don't pop that bar about well. 01:03:17 Speaker 2: Daddy was. 01:03:17 Speaker 1: Daddy was a big bass fisherman and big tournament fisherman and he is currently a bass fisherman. Yeah, caught a twelve and to ten this year's. And so he tells the story of one time he had this co angler and uh, you know, back in the day, you just got paired with people you didn't like. You didn't it wouldn't team, it was just somebody. They threw somebody on the back of the boat, and you fished the front. They fished the back separate tournaments. 01:03:40 Speaker 2: And so this co. 01:03:41 Speaker 1: Angler was on the back and Daddy was throwing this crank bait and ripping it and he's got big old you know, like three aut travels on each end, and uh, he said, this co angler kind of got toward the boat middle of the boat, and he didn't know it. So he reached back and went to throw in the scagles and he looked back and he had hooked him right, and oh no, I don't know the story. 01:04:01 Speaker 2: And he was standing out. 01:04:02 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure his dad, dad may have told the story about somebody else, but I'm gonna tell it from dad's angle. But this guy was going, oh oh, He's like, all right, let me look at it. And he turned around and he was in there. He goes he's like, oh man, He's like it ain't too bad. He's it's in there a little bit. 01:04:15 Speaker 2: He's like, how we gonna get it out? He's like just uh. 01:04:17 Speaker 1: He was like just hold on right here, and that dude held on to the side of the boat and he went and grabbed the flyers kick. He kicked him off the boat, flying in the butter and he was sitting with a chunk. 01:04:33 Speaker 2: But he got it out. He got it out. Yeah. 01:04:35 Speaker 4: Well those on top of that, those hooks that we were using, like they're not them little eagle live. 01:04:41 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know fishing ride like yeah catfish dude like yeah, yeah, probably eight inch. 01:04:49 Speaker 1: Yeah, goma gotzus they get they hurt. Boy, they have to clip the bar. That's fun though. Joe's fishing is fun, man, getting a big one on there and seeing that thing take off across the water and knowing you're hooked all. 01:05:03 Speaker 4: Jug fishing is one of the best, man, especially when you like you're rolling up to the jug and you see it starts. 01:05:12 Speaker 2: That's right. 01:05:12 Speaker 4: We catch a lot. We've caught a lot of guards, which is you know, they'll tug that. You'll think you got some big. 01:05:19 Speaker 2: See, we don't have anything like, we don't have gar like y'all have guard. I mean, y'all have the big alligator car to. 01:05:25 Speaker 4: Dude, text Omas overfilled really and that's all. 01:05:29 Speaker 2: That's a hell of a fishery though, for large mouth any anything. So it's one of the best. 01:05:33 Speaker 4: For stripper That's what the text is known for the most, is stripper fish really, and uh, they've got they've got some big ones, big ones. But and they're fun too. We go, we take a stripper guy out every now and then just to go hit it. 01:05:48 Speaker 2: And sha use the shad on that too. Yeah, he used his live shot for that. 01:05:51 Speaker 4: And we did large mouth and small mouth fishing out there one time too, and that was probably my favorite thing I've done out there on Texoma. 01:05:59 Speaker 2: Yeah. 01:06:00 Speaker 4: Takes us up into the arenas and right up there next to the docks, flipping them in there. 01:06:05 Speaker 2: Oh dude, huge, huge, that's the best, the biggest. 01:06:10 Speaker 4: I've ever seen in my life. But takes so must full of it, but it's full of it's full of guar. 01:06:17 Speaker 2: Probably big bow fish in place of I'm sure it. 01:06:19 Speaker 4: Is now because like they're they're guards now considered the game fish. Really back in the day, they weren't back in the day. You pull them up, you ain't taking them off there, You smash their head, throw them on the bank. So yeah, let them because you don't want them in there. They're considered a fish now, they're protected game fish out there, taxoma. So catch one on your line and it's alive, you got to try to get it off. 01:06:42 Speaker 2: Don't kill it. Wa man, I never knew that. I always but I always thought they were trash fish myself, you know, or at least up here there. Well, they they they're not bad. 01:06:55 Speaker 4: Like if you take them out, they make like gator balls out of them. 01:06:59 Speaker 2: I really do that. Yeah, I've seen that. 01:07:02 Speaker 4: Clean though, super hard to clean because it's a hard bony fish, like real thick scales, hard to get through, hard to cut through. 01:07:12 Speaker 2: Once you get to the meat, like meat's pretty good. Huh. 01:07:14 Speaker 1: They look wicked, man, when you're when you're bowfishing, you've got them lights in the water and you see this big snake looking, you know, a huge six foot seven foot things when you almost look prehistoric like sturgeon. 01:07:26 Speaker 2: They are, I mean they are prehistoric. Yeah, it's been around a long time. Man. I could do this all day. Yeah, shoot, it's been an hour. We kind of started.
