Nobody's coming in here with judgment 77 00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:38,960 or what they what they do. But anyway, what happens 78 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,639 is is that today is the day after the assassination 79 00:03:41,759 --> 00:03:44,680 of somebody of importance inside this country, and people want 80 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,319 to get your opinion. They want to know what your 81 00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:48,719 reaction is, they want to know what side are you on. 82 00:03:49,199 --> 00:03:51,840 And then just a few days back, we had a 83 00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:54,919 murder that was also here in town on our transit system, 84 00:03:55,039 --> 00:03:57,280 and the I mean we sat there and watched the 85 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,400 videos where she got stabbed.

Yeah, 189 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,199 the inscot. 190 00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:19,399 Speaker 2: What's interesting is it reminds me of I think he's 191 00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:21,759 the charge to do it before and where he comes 192 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,519 in and he says that he's been sick with the food. 193 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 3: And then then then we can't find a receipt. 194 00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: Ever, but what if Phillips say though, and so he 195 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,240 says he's going to go look for the receipt as well. 196 00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:31,639 Speaker 3: I thought, well, you just got to learn how to 197 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,679 do it on this computer. You get a lot faster, 198 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,080 so and so. But yeah, some I don't believe it. 199 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:37,840 I don't believe him. 200 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 2: Another football weekend is upon us, not only the NFL, 201 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,200 but college football. And that's what everybody is coming to 202 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,039 the store for tonight is because they've got to make 203 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,960 that travel, that journey, that little sportsmanlike thing to get 204 00:08:51,039 --> 00:08:53,919 up to their stadiums, be it a college football stadium, 205 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,120 you know, the college football stadiums that are around. I 206 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,039 mean North Carolina loves is college football and so does 207 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,399 South Carolina. And man, they will travel forever just to 208 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,080 make sure that they get to see their team. So 209 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,639 and what does that mean for us, that means tailgate 210 00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:08,519 food they're going to be buying, and more importantly, they 211 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:09,679 need some food. 212 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 3: To eat on the highway. 213 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,159 Speaker 2: And that's where we are this afternoon, is that people 214 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,200 are getting loaded up ready to rock. 215 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 3: Is football season in Carolina. 216 00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:21,039 Speaker 2: So my philosophy has always been that if I have 217 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,799 to look up from your driver's license to see if 218 00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:27,519 you really are the age that you are, then I 219 00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:29,559 have to go with the gut feeling that I don't 220 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,799 trust you who they are. Well, she couldn't find your 221 00:09:31,879 --> 00:09:35,039 driving slicense, and she kept telling me I'm fifty years old. 222 00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:38,840 But my instinct was, I'm just not feeling it because 223 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,120 you don't a look like fifty years old, and god, 224 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,639 you really could pass as somebody younger. 225 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 3: Really, yeah, yeah, did you think she was. 226 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 2: Maybe twenty or twenty one? But when she told me 227 00:09:51,879 --> 00:09:54,559 she was fifty, that was off right. 228 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,799 Speaker 3: If you look at twenty and you say you're fifty, 229 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,240 I don't know all I doe the. 230 00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 2: Bullshit, you know, Yeah, And so I just got just 231 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,279 kept saying I'm sorry, I just I didn't sell that's good, yeah, 232 00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:08,039 because I mean it's like you don't have any driver's license. 233 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,720 I mean, as far as I'm concerned, you know, you're 234 00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:12,200 driving without a license, you know, and you're not worried 235 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:12,600 about that. 236 00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 3: What's the problem?

Taking this day off to do 280 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,799 a nine hour wedding. Kind of crazy, huh. Just after 281 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,679 seven o'clock in the morning, we're already loading up the 282 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,200 equipment because we're going out of town. We're playing far 283 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,080 out into the country, so that means that there's gonna 284 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,720 be a lot of people there, and it can get 285 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,879 a little loud, get a little crazy, because that's the 286 00:12:35,879 --> 00:12:37,879 way Southerners are. They really like to party like that. 287 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,879 But we've been with this bride and groom now for 288 00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:42,600 about just over a year and a half. That's how 289 00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:45,600 much planning goes into these kinds of things, especially in 290 00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:47,639 the month before the wedding when you really start digging 291 00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:49,720 in and things. But you know, it's not about just 292 00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:52,559 a DJ rolling their equipment in. It's a DJ that 293 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,639 really gives a crap that this is a performance. This 294 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,600 is something that creates incredible memories. And if you're gonna 295 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,480 go nine hours, you better figure out what that plan 296 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,080 is for those nine hours. Everything that we do is 297 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,080 well planned out, from making sure that we're getting our 298 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,159 protein our liquids to when do we start loading everything? 299 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:13,799 Speaker 3: What is the execution? 300 00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 2: Are we stuff in anywhere to get additional protein? It 301 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,600 is laid out like a map. I mean, you think 302 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,600 stage managers and people like that are renal. You need 303 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,879 to sit down with me and see how I will 304 00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:29,159 physically plan out a day to the fingt Because this 305 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,879 is my map and I've got to remain loyal to it. 306 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,799 This might sound gross to a lot of people, but 307 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,840 I don't know how other performers are, those that are 308 00:13:37,879 --> 00:13:41,000 on stage with a live band, a DJ, or just acting. 309 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,399 Is that you know, you've got to have a total 310 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,919 relationship with your mind, body, and soul. And you know 311 00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:49,519 what that means, not only controlling what you're eating, but 312 00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:54,480 controlling your body's functions, knowing when you need to go 313 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,799 and it does not have permission to go when you're 314 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,039 live on stage, if you know what I mean. And 315 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,639 so you know, over the years, thirty three years of 316 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,799 doing this, you have that little conversation with yourself going hey, look, hey, look, 317 00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:09,879 I need you to do something right now, and it 318 00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:13,559 needs to be a lot because we can't stop. All right, 319 00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:16,639 everything is loaded, And that means the next step on 320 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,639 the map, you got to take a shower. We live 321 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,919 in the South, man, You're just consistently having to take 322 00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:22,759 a shower in the South because of the humidity and 323 00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:24,799 because of everything else. The junkety junk, and you don't 324 00:14:24,799 --> 00:14:26,600 want to bet the junkety junk holder, So you got 325 00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:28,600 to take a shower. And I'm five minutes late as 326 00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:31,120 it is, and being as anal as I am about 327 00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:33,559 this map, I mean, five minutes behind schedule can lead 328 00:14:33,559 --> 00:14:36,039 to ten, fifteen, twenty thirty, and our rival time is 329 00:14:36,039 --> 00:14:38,279 supposed to be eleven thirty, not eleven thirty five. So 330 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,159 we got to make sure that we get our stuff 331 00:14:40,159 --> 00:14:43,639 together and regain this five minutes that we've lost. Those 332 00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:45,639 closest to me know that I'm a daily writer. I 333 00:14:45,639 --> 00:14:49,039 mean every day, hardcore, disciplined writing that's been going on 334 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,919 since July nineteen ninety four. So part of the daily 335 00:14:51,919 --> 00:14:55,080 writing today is to make sure that before every performance, 336 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,440 every performance, be it in the podcast studio, be it 337 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,559 out here in the world of performing on a live stage, 338 00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:04,720 I've got a drag. Dfragging is asking yourself the questions 339 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,600 and question and the answers, and it gives you that 340 00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:09,960 opportunity to sort shit out before things begin to happen. 341 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,399 And so you know, that's part of my daily plan 342 00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:14,320 when it comes to a performance like this, is that 343 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,519 if you don't create dfrag time, you're going into this 344 00:15:17,559 --> 00:15:19,159 with a lot of crap in your head. And we 345 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,279 got to break that up right now. The projected goal 346 00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:24,279 was to be here at the venue by eleven thirty. 347 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,559 It's eleven twenty one. We've met with the mother of 348 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,559 the bride and a cousin. And the greatest news is 349 00:15:30,559 --> 00:15:33,919 is that the beauty that's in Carolina today, I mean 350 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,200 seventy two degrees sunshine. We're right on the lake. I 351 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,759 can see a beautiful swan not too far from me 352 00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:42,080 here and where the ceremony is going to be. We're 353 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,759 gonna have to drop some electrical cord and because the 354 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,120 minister needs a microphone. But the problem is, so it's 355 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,960 so windy here that even with a with a lapel microphone, 356 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,320 I think that's going to suck.

That's what's 363 00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:09,399 pretty bad about when you're out here with these outdoor events, 364 00:16:09,519 --> 00:16:10,000 these venues. 365 00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:11,519 Speaker 3: They're not always grounded perfectly. 366 00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:14,279 Speaker 2: And so when things aren't talking to each other, well, 367 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,639 you're gonna know it because there's gonna be one loud 368 00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:18,559 ass buzz in those speakers and you got to figure 369 00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:21,919 out what the problem is, and so for some reason, 370 00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:24,200 it was coming from the wireless microphone. 371 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,279 Speaker 3: Have no clue, have no clue, but you have. 372 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,879 Speaker 2: To, you know, go into professional mode, calm down, don't 373 00:16:29,919 --> 00:16:32,639 freak out, and try to figure out what the situation is. 374 00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:35,879 And so at this point in time, I think we 375 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,799 have it.

So what they're 397 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,720 doing is they're moving everything forward like you wouldn't believe. 398 00:17:35,759 --> 00:17:37,839 I mean, and they were they were scheduled to do 399 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,920 their bouquet guard's house and night at nine o'clock. 400 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 3: Well that's not gonna happen.

This is every month, twice a month. 540 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 2: Now we think that she's empty in her pantry so 541 00:23:46,799 --> 00:23:48,680 that she can get money to pay for other things 542 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,599 in her life, because it is so expensive to do 543 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,359 that right now. But what would you do in a 544 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,279 situation like this?

How dare you 547 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,039 treat my chicken that way? We had a lady that 548 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:05,440 came in here. 549 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 2: She was about ready to steal an eight piece chicken, 550 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,960 And yeah, I think that very personal because I love 551 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,279 our eight pieces. 552 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 3: Of chicken that we make here were tisserary and or baked. 553 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,160 We also have fried chicken.
