Welcome to the Wrecking Yard, I'm Jerry Wayne Longmire and y'all will presumably
still y'all. All are welcome here in the Church of Internal Combustion, we just
asked that you show up with an open heart. Excuse me my voice, they're still
recovering. I went Dundam shows in San Antonio last weekend which were a man
that Saturday night show was not good. It was not good. I mean it went far, it went
fine as far as it was last and the people you know come up and told me afterwards I
had a good time but just was not a show I enjoyed doing. I don't know what
it was about that crowd but my good friend Billy Dee Washington had this
little joke he'd make everyone fly at the end of a rough show kind of a tough
crowd let me fix my light in here things get a little cock out of. I had the
Wrecking Yard completely taken apart and put back together over the last few
days. But it'd be a shitty crowd and Billy Dee get into that show and he'd go I want
y'all to collectively get together and exchange phone numbers and decide to
never go anywhere in public together again and that was kind of the way I felt
about that crowd Saturday night at that retirement race park in San Antonio. A lot
of it not even necessary because the crowd they were small but they held the
show up really late started the show really late so people got drunk and
people were too drunk by the time I got on stage to even be coherent. So you had a
couple people that were really just whacked out of their gourd by that point
because they started the show you know 30 45 minutes late and it all boils down
to you is basically a highway 35 that runs right up I 35 runs right by this
race park it's just tore all the hell it's just I sat on that thing honest to
God I sat and looked at my hotel I sat on that freeway and stared at my hotel if
I had got out of my car grabbed my bags and started walking it had taken me five
minutes to get there I sat on that freeway 46 minutes stared at my freaking
hotel 35 35 is a piece of shit on its best day but the way they've got it all
torn up they've got 1604 and the Anderson loop all tore up you can't get to a
damn thing over there we I've never seen so many pre-sells tickets and so many
people not show like people bought the tickets paid good cash money for the
tickets and still didn't come that's crazy that never had you don't get me
wrong there's always a margin you know eight to ten tickets there's like 40
people didn't come and I guarantee it's that damn traffic you can't get to that
place who in the hell won't spend their Saturday night sitting on 35 staring at
a dagum horse track they can't get to like they don't they y'all don't need
to be booking shit there yet just wet let them finish the highway before you
start screwing around here because what a damn disaster top of that all I got
sick so somebody dosed me with whatever this respiratory crap is is going
around now me and the kids and mama and everybody it's just sort of run through
our house the way it does and I lost my voice for a couple days which when
you're a fellow what makes you live in using your voice it's always scary it's
always like this last time I'm gonna lose it you know you know it's one of
things you worry about when you make your money with your mouth maybe not all
with my mouth but I can see how that could have some negative connotations
somebody thinking about it the wrong way
and I should probably rephrase it but I'm not going to because I feel like y'all
are adults and y'all can get past probably wrong about
now you never want to lose your voice is the worst it's the worst
right spooky scary spooky scary stuff voice I did however get a lot of work
done on the book a lot of writing done we are with the first book we are less
than a hundred pages from the end which feels impossible
who I gotta tell you looking back over the periods of your life where you're a
piece of shit for a podcast is one thing but doing it so you can put it in
print whoo buddy that'll work on your own psyche
I am enjoying working with Adam I did get a lot of book work done this week
since I couldn't make all the videos I want to make I spent a whole lot of time
just hanging out with that cat some good friends of that kitty cat
she has proven herself to be the perfect condition for the Longmire family
children are both just tickled to death by her presence and I can tell she's been
real good for Rachel much I love them little kittens Rachel raised in some
fifties and when they got killed it it broke something you know as it will
yeah San Antonio was a disaster it was you know what I shouldn't call it a
disaster because I had a really good lunch meeting Saturday with the owner of
Outlaws and gents grooming company where we're gonna be working together doing
some stuff we're getting all that started it's just you know it is when you enter
into business everybody there's contracts and all kind of things you gotta
figure out before you just jump off in the bed it ain't like a one-night
stand it's gonna be a long-term business agreement also I've become a pretty
good friend I would say we're becoming friends with the guy that owns the
company I really like him and I I'm kind of
kind of stage of my life where I just don't want to work with people I don't
like I don't necessarily need to believe in your ideals and stuff like that to
work with you but I need to have a level of trust in me need to have some
camaraderie I need to have some common ground and me you know his name Shane
you know Shane just always hit it off right off the bat that always makes it
easier to do business with somebody makes it a little tougher if the business
just goes sour you know there has to be a divorce somewhere down the line but not
the work happens easy that's some shit somebody said one time so I've had some
easy stuff that was pretty good to be an honest not all them old things hold up
I don't think I'm getting ready today it's a my god I've lost what track of
days it is it's a Friday morning out here in the wrecking yard and only reason
I'm early up this early as I'm I had to do radio this morning I I don't believe
I I'm I don't know who listens radio in the morning because I never really
listened radio in the morning a lot on the way to work that wasn't a thing I did
I played my own music I wanted to hear I always had my own sort of playlist or
something going on so I don't know who listens radio in the morning those
radio DJs are hey Jerry Wayne Longmer now tell us what's going on are you over
there in Houston, Texas you know this guy out in Mississippi I'm doing radio
from Mississippi and like how do you get up every morning I I'm gonna ask John
Clay Wolf because he's been doing it as long as I know John Clay Wolf been
getting up at butthole o'clock in the morning to get on the radio and sound
chipper but John I will say this about JCW if you listen to JCW show he
don't start out full of jazz and pizzazz in the morning he sort of he works into
it a little bit he comes in there there's a little bit of grumbling and
they the cast works into it and begins the show so it feels like an evolution
over the course of the morning but some of them guys you know I'm talking about
like to just the gimmick it's probably almost that Rowdy Yates and that's the
name of a good friend of mine that's a DJ and I wouldn't make fun of Rowdy Yates
I love Rowdy Yates but it's always those guys you know Big Dean Bubba John
Boyn whatever you know in the morning it's I don't know how dudes do that you
know it's so funny because you you meet all them old radio pairs I knew
Stephenson Pruitt real well that were big here in Houston and I believe they
also went by Hudson and Harrigan at one point but I knew or maybe Dean and Raj
maybe that was the other one or I don't know it's they had another I think it's
Hudson and Harrigan they went by at one point because they lost the rights to
their own name or something but if you meet any of them old radio duos almost
every time they do not like each other they did not get along Walton and
Johnson argued and fussed and Steve's and Pruitt or they spitfire and cuss each
other you know what I mean like I don't think you can get up every morning go
hang out with somebody every morning for 10 15 years of your life and just not
end up just about ready to choke that dude you know like just do that same
thing every freaking morning I don't know that I could do it I don't think I
could I don't think you're ever gonna you never go here the morning show with
Jerry Wayne Longmar it's not gonna be it I did mornings for years you know
working construction boots on the ground 5 30 a.m. it's time to go make the
magic happen but I didn't have to be chipper hell most mornings I didn't talk
I just grunted until about 11 I don't I get mad when somebody calls me before
noon somebody text me or calls me before noon I'm like what in the hell could you
possibly need to talk to me about before lunchtime what in the grand scope of
what is happening in the world is gonna matter to me any more before noon than it
will afterwards you know I mean aside from a family member passing or
something you know like yeah I just don't I'm not I'm not a morning person
anymore I'm a night owl I use most nights I'm up to three o'clock in the
morning right and working on stuff hanging out range or night owls my job
you know you get done with these shows you can't you can't just go back to the
hotel and go to bed that doesn't work you're too wired up there's too much
you've been on stage for 45 minutes they do a meet greet and all that kind of
stuff and you're exhausted but you're you're wired to the gills right
mentally so you have to go I mean it was the time when it was drugs but these
days it's just the excitement from the show working on stuff so I go back to
hotel and I'm up one or two o'clock in the morning after them shows just my
natural state of things I take a little extra vitamin D try to get some sunshine
where I can but this is a Dracula job now so I've done that radio this morning
and the guy kept calling the podcast the reckoning yard and he couldn't say it
good and he kept me so what's the reckoning yard about like how the hell
do I tell you what the reckoning yards about how in the hell could I possibly
tell you what the reckoning yards about I invite any of you who y'all are better
than me y'all probably figure out a good way to describe it but I don't know how
to describe it you know it's not and that's the kind of questions you get on
the on a radio call you know tell us tell us a little bit about truck
astrology what what is there to tell you it's a short content series where I
make fun of pickup trucks that's it I mean it's another yeah morning radio
buddy I am headed out to the to the fine state of Mississippi today and I have
been working on this piece about the Lake Great Jerry Clower Jerry Clower where
I'm going in Mississippi is
it's about eight miles from where the the Lake Great Jerry Clower is buried
where his final resting place is I told y'all I'm gonna make that pilgrimage
out there or if I'm gonna do it this evening when I first get in town it
looks like I'm probably gonna leave here about two o'clock in the PM I reckon
that put me in Mississippi put me in McComb Mississippi about seven o'clock in
the PM we were supposed to do a car show but they had to cancel it because there
was another big car show happening like right down the street or something so
they've had to cancel that car show tomorrow but ticket sales aren't great
so I'm gonna do I'm gonna go out do a little barking Saturday try to drum up
some attention for the show go try to visit some spots in McComb and you know
find some good stuff to eat that kind of thing maybe that's when I'll run out
there old Jerry's place try to try to get some FaceTime with the ghost of a
great you know I kept thinking about that we all hear my peace some of the
more astute of you that know old country music will be able to tell that it's
heavily inspired by a song I heard when I was young I've always liked called the
ride and I think the first time I heard the song it was Hank it was a David
Al and co singing it just to the song is he stops picks up a hitchhiker in
Alabama and the hitchhiker turns out to be the ghost of Hank Williams sing gives
him some music advice and that sort of thing my god it's been a while since I
recorded out here on a weekend morning and my neighbors are throwing their usual
rave I forgot they did this I used to get out here and try to record in the
mornings while that was going on before I had these mics that don't pick it up it
might be picking it up I was pretty loud shaking the window garage
also if you get out about if you out there on the internet you look at
something I just did so my good buddy William Lee Martin I'm doing the
Christmas shows with every year we go on a tour and do Christmas shows we're
getting geared up for that now our first one's November 29th out in Fredericks
burg Texas and then we got a show in Gladewater we got a show in Shreveport
we got another show in El Reno, Oklahoma before we wrapped the whole tour up in
Great Bind, Texas and so we're getting ready to put that show together I've
been writing Christmas sketches and comedy sketches for it
William Lee Martin put together this this new brand and everything he's been
building called Red Dirt Comedy and you know guys like Jerry Clower fit right
into Red Dirt Comedy and he's trying to build something over there and he
started a new podcast it's like an interview talk show style format and the
very first episode is my episode he had me come up there from Texas and sit in
with the studio with him and did about a 45 minute interview with him but not
just the nature of the business but the nature of coming back and fighting
for something you believe in finding your way in the world that sort of thing
and you guys should go check that out you should go check the interview I put a
link in the chat and I'll also pin a link in the comments I'll pin the number one
comment it'll be a link that you can go watch that interview I did with William
Lee Martin I'm pretty proud of it one of the better interviews I've ever done
me and William Lee have known each other for a couple decades now so it come
out it was a pretty good day gum interview so that's gonna be on the Red
Dirt Comedy YouTube channel but I'll get you guys that link I'll have it like I
said in the chat and on the comments all right let's I guess get off into the meat
of this thing is that a good segue a little sharpened on the knife we also
got we got some packages to open today it's the last of the packages before we
do our day of giving for the driven dreams org they did there's an October I
wasn't able to participate as I was out there in Louisville and I still have
packages coming in so I got about four five packages here to open four
packages to open and then that'll be we'll get our final tally right now
we're at 1626 miles for babies and we'll get our final tally here of what we're
gonna be giving out here in the coming week and I'll keep you guys posted on
that we'll probably film make a little video about it that kind of thing I was
talking to a good buddy of mine funny enough named Billy Dooley I've told y'all
some stories about Billy Billy was a record driver with me when I was at VIP
towing and we worked together at Calvo towing and Houston and I lost touch with
Billy over the years when I moved off to Colorado and done all that me and Tori
split up and all that kind of stuff and I ended up all over the place and funny
enough we was in the same city most of the time but Billy found me through the
internet sent me an email he's man I just want to know if it's real you he said
we still tell stories about all all crazy shit you done and so I immediately
emailed him back so here's my phone number bubble call me I'd love to catch
up with you Billy's you know live just like funny enough being Billy's lives
kind of intersect I fell off a roof in July of 2015 nearly died Billy nearly got
killed in the car wreck 2015 pretty close to July made a little earlier in
the year may or something like that been down some similar past we both been
married but he's been married about 19 years I've been married 17 years and we've
kind of our lives have followed a similar trajectory even as we've been a
part you know we talked about I don't I don't really miss them days I don't you
know but it would be a lie to say I didn't have some good times in those
days and granted I had some substance abuse problems some other stuff I was
going on then and was not in a very good relationship but Billy reminded me of the
fun we had struck me I thought about I forgot sometimes we tell them stories
you forget about all the fun you had and Billy regal be a story I'd forgot where
I broke a Nissan UD flatbed cracked the frame right in half on that truck trying
to winch another truck out of a ditch and then I used the winch to suck the
frame back together and drove that truck back to the shop with a broken frame I
always consider myself a tape recorder like I like an observer I'm an
observer that's what I do I live in these moments I observe them and they
storm up here in the old the old rusty roller decks and recall them when I need
them I've been a storyteller all my life I've been an observer all my life but
when you're an observer sometimes you forget that people are observing you
too and it was kind of wild to think because you know I tell these stories
about my past I tell these stories about different roads I done been down and it
didn't dawn on me that there's people out there telling stories about me you
know and it made me laugh to hear him and a couple of them old drivers that he's
still friends with still out there telling crazy ass stories about okay
W kind of put me it made me think of another time it just put me back in
mode of that you know you don't know when the good times are because they're
happening all the time and there's very few times in your life that you're not
gonna look back and be able to find something that you miss about that time
frame now we all go through some real hard shit occasionally that you know
it's probably hard to look back those times or look at a time going through
now and find it but I guarantee you there's something there there's just
I was specifically got to thinking about that little house me and Rachel had on
out the and oak forest when we first got together before we were married this
is probably this is probably the year before we were married it has to be
right if we got married you know as her came we ended up moving out of that
house but when we were just together we didn't have no kids outside of our jobs
in the comedy club which was most of our job we didn't have a lot of
responsibilities Rachel was the general manager of the comedy club she was making
pretty good money a lot better than me I was a lowly comic working for scraps but
I also did all the maintenance at the comedy club so I was working on the
bathrooms and the urinals and it was an old place built 30 years prior so there
was always plenty to work on between HVAC and the bathrooms and various things
just falling apart because of age and time I said age and time like that's two
different things
it put me in mind of the world's greatest cover band that never made it out
of Houston back in them back in the early days of living together where when the
Nintendo Wii came out Rachel wanted one she she grew up with Nintendo was a
Nintendo girl and she wanted one of them Nintendo Wii's for the house she was
excited because we could play bowling on it and all these games and we're kind
of we're kind of in that part of our life where we weren't really going to the
bar that much and both of our jobs involved the nightclub and when you do
that all the time it's not what you want to do when you're not working it just
isn't you don't want to spend all your time at a bar you don't want to spend we
just want to be together hang out together my brother Joey and my best
friend Steve at the time Steve we were all friends in high school Steve they
were roommates they had him a little place over there in Spring, Texas right
off Cypresswood Drive
and most time we well wasn't working we was hanging out together
and sorry about that got the sound down on my phone
once again so may call me before noon what in the hell could you have
possibly talked to me about pretty sure as a bill collector anyway
the Rachel bought that Nintendo Wii and our house kind of became it was the
spot man it's a little old house but had a big old living room we had we felt
like it was a big TV it was a 36 inch TV but it felt like a big TV does you know
I told y'all we had a long couch down one side and a short couch that little
love seat on the other side and then we had another little old place you could
sit it was a little I don't remember if it was like a wide chair or what it was
kind of off in the middle oh no that one couch was kind of an L I couldn't
remember one couch was kind of an L and so there's place for everybody to hang
out showing Steve come over they bring a bottle of rum I wasn't really drinking
that much in them days I had kind of shot skewed off the drinking but I was
heavily that's when I really first starts like really smoking marijuana on the
regular I was really and because it was new to me I was going a little hard
cold with you know I mean I was we were getting stoned like we had never gotten
stoned in our life and we'd have gang over we'd play that we bowling till two
or three o'clock in the morning and we tennis and it starts out you know
everybody's up in the middle of the floor doing the moves getting after it
by the end of the night we're just laying on the couches moving the
controller you know and do our bowling but I started trying to think about the
fun times in that house when we when we were there and we there was all that
just all the craziness that went on there it was such a chaotic time because you
know I had I wasn't ready to settle down yet I thought I was still wild a little
crazy as that's the place we've living where I was working on motorcycles all
the time I always had some idea about something else I was about to get into
and what nothing to throw everything in the car and both of us pile in the car
and go out on a little comedy road trip only thing we had to take care of was
that little we had this little Jack Russell named Tina and Tina we throw her
in the carrier take her just about anywhere with us
some early days of relationship you know early days of kind of figuring out
who we were together when I first came friends David's when I was working in
the transmission shop during the day when I wasn't doing stuff up at the club I
would work in the transmission shop during the day as manager and help David
run the transmission shop and he'd come over and hang out time to time but him
and Molina was already together so they kind of had their own vibe going on over
at their house and we'd go to their place and come over to our place that kind of
but Steve and Joey they you know they were just roommates still both pretty
same Steve was going through a divorce he had just gotten divorced from his wife
he'd been with for like 12 years and he was a bit of a mess as you'll be once
you go through something like that
that's when I bought that bra I had a 68 Ford Bronco being David went out to
college station one night and drug back and I was out there trying to do work on
that thing didn't know what I was doing half the time that's where I really
learned how to get good at drum brakes I called David over to help me with the
drum brakes on that Bronco is what that something 50 did we it goes well let's
take it we took all the drum brakes apart on that front wheel and he just
throwed it all in a pile and he goes all right now rebuild that's like they
like how the hell I know where all that goes he said well you know you can go
look at the other side right yeah I guess instead of helping me do him he
stood there and talked to me while I figured out them springs and put them
drum brakes back together but by God by the time I got the other side I had a
little better hand on when I was doing by the time I got the back wheels I
really I felt like I might be a drum brake pro by that moment oh David taught
me just by throwing me to the wolves which sometimes is the best way to learn
anything you know just do it I was out there working on that Bronco one day
this is funny so across the street in that house we had this neighbor I don't
fence and she was a single older woman in her in probably her 60s but she was
friends with our landlord and she would spy on us and tell our landlord all
kind of shit how we were partying and all everything we were doing I was
revving my motorcycle up she just she had nothing better do than sit there and
watch us and then call my landlord every time we done something she thought we
shouldn't be doing you know and this so then we get a call from the landlord and
that woman was crazier and shit and have to deal with O'Roxanne the red-headed
clown clown lady we caught her mud fence I'm sure I've told you this before
Rachel's father was a good-looking man he was a handsome man he kept himself well
he was fit good-looking fella confident dressed well had a nice pickup truck
just hitting that stage is live I think he was pretty close to 60 at that point
and then my old mud fence was in love with Ken my fence boy she thought she
thought Ken was the bees knees and she see him outside boy she start making her
way across the street trying to chit chat with him and about first three or
four times she got a hit on him made a pass I said well you know might be good
to have something local right here in the neighborhood he said he said that
woman look like a mud fence I never heard anybody describe he says she's
uglier than a mud bit boy my god that became her name after that that was
old mud fence mud fence had a son who was in his 30s and very gay I mean I don't
know what levels of gay there are but he this fella was flamboyantly so and he
liked to put on a leotard thing and do jazzercise in her front living room with
the windows open so everybody can see him in there doing his jazzercise is
leotard every day and I don't remember his name either but he also had a
crush on my father and they both just mooned over him every time they seen
him and it tickled the piss out of me because he couldn't stand neither one of
them we didn't like them because they was always ratting us out trying to cause
problems for us I don't know how many times their son called a law on me just
apart my car in the street one day called a law on me said I was blocking his
driveway in from across the street wasn't he were near the driveway it's just
non-stop non-stop parade of them constantly calling the landlord calling
police and we were pretty pretty tame as far as party standards worst thing we
ever did we spoke too much pot over there well I don't know how much you know
about the marijuana but doesn't make for a lively party not a lot of loud music
and running around hollering and breaking shit none of that goes on at
some point it ends up where you just hell we had a I went over to Harbor Freight
and found it was an alligator clip on a telescoping tube and it telescoped out
to like seven feet healthy in the night we clip a little joint in there and me
and Rachel lay on either one of them couches across the living room from
each other hand that joint back and forth with that telescoping wild part ears
let me tell you wild part ears I was over there working on I was working on
the bumper out the bumper in the front was dented you know this is good old
steel Ford bumper from way back in the day they had a little more to them when
the back of that garage at one point that house had flooded and they had cut two
foot of the drywall out there was a little laundry room back there that was
framed out and they'd cut to I gotta tell y'all about that dryer they cut two
foot of the drywall out so it's exposed the studs was I got the bright idea that
I go back there and I'd wrap a strap ratchet strap around one of them studs
real good and then I ratchet strapped it to a chain that was hooked around the
front of that bumper Rachel was off at work I was there during the day by
myself and I was gonna I was gonna back that Bronco up and pull that bumper out
off that stud in that house some of you can tell right now this ain't a great
idea the studs ain't that strong this is before I done a lot of construction I
don't know if I strapped all up well I got the worry that that dagum strap was
gonna come back was gonna break and that chain was gonna flop up and hit the
windshield go through the windshield and final destination my ass that's the
kind of shit I worry about the irrational stuff like that all the time
so I had this old piece of three-quarter inch plywood and I leaned it on the front
of the hood of that Bronco right up on the bumper just cocked back at a little
bit of an ankle so that I could back up and pull that bumper out but if that
chain broke it just go up and slap that plywood nobody get hurt and everybody
lived to do something stupid another day
boy I was out there and I got that thing in reversing feathering that clutch
out had a little 289 in it trying to pull that thing out oh that bumpers not
giving I give it a little more for that bumpers not giving I give it a little
more I feel that strap just to stretch it I stopped feeling clutch I just let the
clutch out and see if that thing would just snatch that bumper out and when I
did that stud broke loose from the wall shot straight through that garage hit
that ramp of plywood and just exited the chat just left the chat just straight up
off that plywood broke the strap and I seen that 2x4 fly up in there and hit
mud all the way across the street and hit mud fences roof boom and shoot up off
her roof off in her backyard where I assume it landed in the mud like a
I said oh shit I looked over there her windows was closed she went outside
bow and hook that strap that chain don't it and garage to it plywood drudge run my
ass back in the house and sat in there in the living room peeking through the
windows sure enough for her door open she comes out there looking around and
here comes over jazz or size around from the side gate he's got this 2x4
dragging it was drywall still hanging on that house for 35 minutes and watch
mud fits and jazz or size try to figure out where this 2x4 from the sky came
from well we got an earful from the landlord about that one launch and
missiles and one thing I done that lady she kept you she kept calling our
landlord or she's pissing us off bad we had a birthday party for me over there
pretty chill affair but we had like 20 people but it was like a low key nobody
was really drinking it was my 30th birthday it was kind of a it was older
friends you know sitting around hanging out my mom and dad come it wasn't like a
party like we weren't doing a lot of that you know
well she called the law net I had to deal with the damn police on my birthday
that was kind of the final straw piss me off and they were cool they
understood that they were getting called out there for nuisance bullshit but
after that I just started signing her up for every free thing I could everything
I could find on the internet where they would mill some shit to your house if
you signed up I signed her address up I said 2121 out the I still remember the
address day I was signed her address up for everything I could I signed her up
for the free hair club for men every every hair hair restoration thing around
I signed her up for the weeklies from every grocery store I can find every
anything I can find on the internet where they was gonna mail shit every time
the mailman come to her house that mailbox just look like it was pregnant
stuff packed with shit and she pulled all that crap out of her mailbox I signed
that woman up for everything I could boy that was my little slick way getting
back at her around this time a video game comes out for that we system called
rock band some of you may remember it rock band come out had the instruments had
a drum set and a guitar and a bass like another guitar that you use for a base
guitar and a microphone you can have yourself a whole little band and it was
the video game the things come up on the screen told you what the strum play now
ain't got a musical bone in my body much I love music as much as music completes
me and makes every part of my day I can't I don't have no rhythm or timing I
can't sing on beat I can't I just don't have that thing whatever it is I've tried
to teach myself how to play get I got a dusty guitar in there that every time I
try to teach myself how to tune it I get frustrated give up on it I keep
hoping all these days I'm gonna have the patience to learn something like that but
I could play that game I play that video game I play a guitar real good on that
video game when you do it when you play that game you can start a band you give
you know you make your own every one of you make your own character and it start
out as just me and Rachel Rachel now Rachel's got a lot of musical talent you
know she's played a little piano and Rachel was real good at the drums right
off the bat she has an innate sense of timing and Rachel could drum her ass off
right off the bat she started doing all the tutorials and she's just beating the
hell of them drumsticks and the drums is the one thing you kind of got to know a
little bit about how to do it real life in order to play that game enjoy it so
we never really had it there was never I never played drums I couldn't keep time
to save my life I could get about ten beats into the song that I was done but
Rachel played shit out of them drums and I sit over there my little kickback
office chair and play that damn guitar we started having fun with Joey and Steve
come over one night I said man you gotta join the band Steve liked to sing Steve
wanted to be our vocalist Steve knew all that music they had a wide catalog of
music and the way the game works is you play your way up you play in this one
little small place and then you get a gig over here and it's just kind of like
how entertainment works as you you work and chip at it to build your following
and all that kind of stuff and then at some point you're doing world tours with
your band if you get good enough it's a video game there's always a way to get
good enough we named our band giant tube sock I don't remember how that name
come apart other than I think it was just named after a big-ass tube sock but
we named the band giant tube sock Steve was our vocalist Joey was our bass
player I was guitar player Rachel was beating them drums it got to be like
throughout the week we'd all be working and stuff we'd be texting each other
let's get together Friday night let's get together if I didn't have a gig
Friday or Saturday night or even Sunday night we got rehearsed giant tube socks
got shows to play they come over there we smoke up and drink up have our good
time and we the band would get after boy we start playing them shows there we
started achieving a little fame there in the game we started doing pretty good
the band was on its way we're getting all the articles written about us getting
fancier instruments going the far away we were playing Los Angeles and Seattle
was getting out there and it became a weekly thing where we got together we
played as giant tube sock on this video game and like all like all good things
some point something's got to come to an end still living our lives in that
house I spent about half my days out there in the garage working on stuff I
went bought me I decided I was gonna get in the bicycle riding again I went over
the pawn shop I bought me this what I thought I got all excited I thought I
got me a good deal on a diamond back mountain bike I started fixing that
mountain bike up and I used to joke with people because that's the old saying
right is it's like riding bike can't forget it's like riding the bike everybody
says it's like riding bike you never forget how to do it man I for a minute
there while I was trying to relearn how to ride a bike I if you say that me I'm
gonna punch you right in the nuts just try to ride a bike you will forget how
to ride a bike if you ain't careful you need to get on one everyone's wall
mind yourself how to do that I started I started getting brave I was riding that
bike around the neighborhood jumping off curves and stuff I was getting brave
back right before I went to Iraq go do comedy shows in Iraq I jumped that bike
off the curve one day and the damn neck tube on that bicycle broke and just come
loose in the air so like in the air I was holding the handlebars in the neck
tube and the rest of the bike I was sitting on when I landed that old frame
popped up and hit me in the ribs and cracked two of my ribs now when I went
to Iraq I bear that the first three or four I was still healing from them broke
ribs when we got to Iraq I was climbing in out of Army tanks and shit
well me and I would be in Christmas throwing each other around on that
Navy boat that damn I had them broke ribs still giant tube sock kept playing kept
growing there were problems Steve was getting worse getting less fun man when
your lead singer shows up drunk Steve got into the pills man and the pills were
not doing Steve no favors he got into them pills man and he get a couple of
drinks in him he was like a toddler and it seemed like about half a night's giant
tube sock got together we were here to tell you Steve or he was passed out on
the couch and it was just me and Joey and Rachel keeping the band alive with no
vocalist
Steve come over there I'll peel it out and drunk one night and I had found out
purely by accident that squirrels had gotten up into our dryer and eating some
of the wires in the dryer well in doing so they had grounded the dryer out a
little bit so if you go in there and that dryer was on you touch the frame of
that dryer is shocked to piss out of you good old vote knock knock you right on
your ass and I didn't know how to fix it yet I was still trying to figure it out
but one of those nights Steve was over there drunk I don't know how many times
I touch I talked him into touching that dryer but I know I electro shocked that
dude about seven times that night every time I could I mean really I said hey man
you go check that dryer I think we got some towels that dry I need to clean up
the mess over here
he got it
that house was piece of shit it was falling apart there was there was roof
leaks and ceiling leaks and you know mosquitoes
roof leaks and ceiling leaks everywhere there's parts of the ceiling that were
falling down and I'd have to patch it
we couldn't get the landlord to fix nothing the front door was trying to
fall off I'd have to fix that back door was trying to fall off working on that
the back deck was falling through we were having to replace boards as we could
but there's a rent house you don't spend a bunch of money on a rent house
we did decide so they it had hardwood it had hardwood floor all through the house
at the kitchen and the hallways had been carpeted with this really ugly carpet
and it was all tore up and she wasn't going to replace it so we ripped all the
carpet out and all the the the tack strips and all that
and it started out Steve was going to help me redo this floor in this hallway
well that's where Steve was in his life not showing up and so he ended up being
Rachel redoing this floor in this hallway and I I sanded that every we pulled all
the tax all the stuff I sanded that entire wood floor with a little bit of orbital
sander I bought at a garage sale sanded that whole floor just down on my hands
and knees I seen a picture the other day Rachel's going to pictures me laying on
that floor a teen on my back my sander sanding that floor
we put the I put some mini wax polyurethane on that floor that never I did something wrong
when I put that mini wax polyurethane on there and this day I can't tell you what I
done wrong with it but that shit didn't never dry I mean that floor was sticky
when we moved out of that house you walk up down that hallway and socks
we keep trying to keep trying to keep the band together because we were having fun
but Steve's fading fast on us one night Steve was supposed to come over there and
we was all going to get together we was going to play and
hell we don't hear from Steve that night he never shows up
Joey passes out on the couch me and Rachel retire off to the bedroom and uh
get a phone call about two or three in the morning
and Steve he's like hey I'm on the way to your house I'm running a little late
a little late bro like eight hours late
a little late I'm running a little late
I hear him pull up in the driveway I go out there the front half of his truck is missing
the whole front end of his truck is smashed in with yellow paint all over it and Steve's
so drunk and high he can't get out from behind the wheel and I was so frustrated before he
could have got himself killed could have got somebody else killed what we sort of suspect
happened is he got off he went to a music show without telling nobody in downtown Houston and
got into his pills and drinking and then left and they had just kind of on main street down
downtown Houston there's a train and they put these big yellow well we figured out as he hit
one of these big yellow concrete poles down there by the train he was right down in that area
there yellow paint all over he had this beautiful 2004 2005 GMT 800 red Silverado extended cab Z71
gorgeous pickup he had just totaled the front end of it
I didn't know what to do him I just took his keys out of the truck left him sleeping behind the
driver's seat the next day we tried to talk to him about it oh I don't know what happened
it was somebody else's fault and the same kind thing it always happens when somebody's going down
the tubes at the same time him and Joey having problems as roommates Steve's Steve's get behind
on his rent he's not taking care of his responsibilities because he's drugging and drinking all the time
now there's all this extra tension in the friendship right Joey sometimes doesn't want to come over
our house because he's worried Steve's gonna show up he won't be around Steve
sometimes Joey wants to go do something else just get away from the whole situation
and giant tube sock comes to an end and the way a lot of great bands have come to an end of the
wish
Steve goes off the rails the lead singer goes off the rails with substance abuse
Joey trades his bass guitar in for a keyboard and do software work and pirate rock so he can
go live the Jimmy Buffett life on sell boats
and me and the drummer got hitched and back out of the party scene
the greatest band that there ever was giant tube sock one day I'm gonna make a fake documentary
about it the rise and fall of giant tube sock
went to a lot of bad times in the house a lot of bad times for comedy club closed and
well we got screwed on that deal and
it was a lot of family disagreements stuff like that there was a lot of rough times
to have stuff with Steve watching Steve go down the drain not being able to stop it
Joey somewhere in that time Pete time period meets a little Sarah it starts
but we all we already knew Sarah but he starts a kind of dating Sarah
somewhere in that time period now I guess it's a little later now he was he dated this guy every
once while named brandy and she was the worst person in the world he would bring her over
the house every once while she's like y'all are grown-ups that play video games that's what's
wrong with y'all I think she's one of them and I was like just get get the hell on I ain't ask you
to be a part of it just get the hell on we're having a good time enjoying ourselves well I guess
we could be out the bar running up bar tabs spending a bunch of money or we could be here
having a good time for our house doing something we enjoy there's always you got to watch small
people small people are always out to be little anything you're doing small people they love to
be little small people love to tear down
and world's full of small people you gotta watch out for them they'll drain the energy
they'll get in your head
every once while years me and Rachel it's still all set up in our living room our kids
aren't really as big into it but we used to play every once while for years me and Rachel kept
playing that game they put out a Beatles version and well we went out and bought that Beatles version
right away and they also made a custom George Harrison style guitar for it for the Beatles version
boy we got that George Harrison guitar and got Rachel some new drumsticks boy we started playing
again got Joey over one night to play bass for us but we didn't have no lead singer
giant tube sock never had that reunion
not too much longer after that we get married right after our wedding hurricane
night drops two big old trees right through that one through the kitchen and one through the garage
I mean limbs coming through the ceiling
and we found out the landlord had canceled the insurance on the house and the house wouldn't
get fixed anytime soon we we moved out of that house moved off the spring and you know that's
where I started my own business and life got a lot more serious after that you know back to the
hustle of survival and you know and it feels like minutes later we had kids
but for a for a little brief period of time in that house we was we was just as free as two people
could they be having a good time with our friends
and a lot of bad happened in that house but boy you know when I really sit back and dig but we
sure had a lot of laughs and a lot of good times we had a little swimming pool out back one of
those little inflatable models we'd get out there and carry on into the night
that's the way it goes you know days getting stoned on the couch and playing video games all
Saturday are coming to a close days of Steve are coming to a close because he's decided to march full
speed towards whatever ending he's looking for Joey's getting distant Joey's looking for his own
right his own somebody Joey's ready to have a life with somebody like I'm having
wrap it up right there we'll do uh let's do some testimonials and then we'll unwrap some of these
boxes here real quick let's see what we got here testimonials if you will from last week
here we go at Matthew Black in reference to your question about bear meat here in southwest
Virginia we absolutely eat bear it's not as popular as it used to be but still very relevant
given the choice I'll take properly prepared bear over beef any day especially for roast or
shredded barbecue sandwiches rendered bear fat has a million uses as well you can't go buy bear
meat anywhere though because it's wild game boy I got man I gotta get me a show in southwest
Virginia if that's where I gotta go to get me some bear meat so I get a little scratch here
I'm happy here I just knew I knew somebody ate bear somewhere I just knew they had to
I played enough red dead redemption no people won't bear meat by God
I gotta get me some bear I think some smoked bear ribs might be where it's at
oh at Christian Metal Ward my old buddy Christian Metal Ward thanks for the shout out J.W. I hope
you're feeling better I was supposed to go to 24 hours of lemons race Sunday and I told you I was
gonna go out there and I didn't end up making out I was so sick when I got back in San Antonio I
didn't have no voice and well I just felt like a hammered pile of dog shit and I just couldn't I
couldn't talk myself into driving an hour down to Angleton and then I also didn't want to take
that shit around people it's obviously something contagious I picked up it was already going through
my family so I you know I don't want that to be the gift keeps on giving from my racing buddies go
down there hug a couple people shake hands the next thing you know they're buying the lemons races
needing lemon because their voice is gone
at Brock or 96 be like the Houston highway system never stop working on yourself no
matter how inconvenient it is forever I say about every once while what if my fans will
write something that's so funny I'm mad I didn't think of it first and that is one of those things
that tickle when I read that I nearly pissed myself I tickled me to death that's one of the
funniest things everybody's ever said to me thank you so much bro glad you guys are watching and
listening I know them shows I have to do in a hotel room aren't always most popular shows because
I have to kind of do things on the fly and I appreciate those of you that tolerate stick to it I
always enjoy hanging out with my good friend Barry and I hope you guys enjoy when he pops on from
time to time and we are going to do some more guests this season I'm working on some stuff I'd
really like to get Dr. H Dr. H is the surgeon who's this badass pet surgeon that volunteered his
services to help our little old fill you out who's just doing gangbusters that cat runs the house
right now she has she has ascended to her throne she's doing healthy she's got uh he's doing weekly
films on her to keep track of her because this leg the one that was really shattered has fused up
but the growth plate's damaged and he's worried it's going to turn her foot in so he may have to
do a little surgery where they give the bone cut a relief into the bone surgical procedure to allow
that foot to stay straight but she's using them claws and it ain't slowed her down but I got I
took a I took one of my old Shakespeare fishing rods and tied a string on it and put her little
she's got this little toy we call cheeky fish it looks like a fish and shiny flip the feathers
and I fish with her all it's the best cat fishing I've ever done in my life boy that cat
will chase that thing all over and she's got the energy of the kitten so you can sit there for
an hour and she'll chase that thing and it's she's doing fantastic I hadn't slowed her down so
he's keeping an eye on her in case he has to do that but he's a wildly interesting guy and uh I
want to have him here on the he's a military veteran uh he owns a bar and he's like one of the
top pet surgeons in the United States which that's just bad I think you know I tell you guys all the
time I think every one of us got a story worth listening to I think every one of you do I love
when y'all tell me stories in the comments about stuff going on with your life and y'all send me
letters and emails with stories about how our stories intersect and relate
so I'm gonna try to get Dr. H on here and uh I think I'm having an author on here I just read
her book and uh she wants me she's gonna send me an ARC of her new book she wants me to read that
one too and uh she's fantastic y'all hear me talk about James Lee Burke all the time this woman
is she has that gift that gift of depiction and I read she wrote a book about the narco
corridors of Texas and a little immigrant girl that escapes some coyotes and an old Texas woman
what saves her and it's just it was a fantastic book I enjoyed every I judge your book if I pick
a book up and start reading it and I might have to put it down for a little bit but if I pick it
back up and then I gotta finish it before I put it down again that's a good book and and book's
only coming two flavors for me I pick it up I start reading it I lose interest in it I don't
ever finish it or I do that I lock in on it and I gotta finish the damn thing and her book was very
much like that let's uh get this out let's see what we got here got a letter dear jw after enjoying
your short form content I was delighted to find out you had a podcast after listening to a few
of the latest episodes I took your advice and went back to the beginning while listening to an
episode in season two you're talking about seeing the small Mazda Repu rip around the track and you
made a comment about how you like to have one because it looked fun as shit well I decided
that you indeed needed one in your life although the one included might look like a toy I can assure
you it is not much smaller than the original I was also thankful to find out that you postponed
the delivery of the hot wheels for all those smiling babies and I also sent a few of those as well
keep the laughs coming I hope to see you in the Pacific Northwest soon sincerely Jason Bennett

lemons race and oh look at that sent me a little Mazda Repu pickup look at that I'm gonna hold on

but I gotta that's gotta go on display here in the wrecking yard thank you for that Jason thank
you for the wonderful letter I really appreciate it I love when fans of my short content come over
here and find something to relate to in the wrecking yard because as I've told many of you
especially my day oneers I think maybe this in the book is the most important work I ever do
I do I don't know where this thing ends either you know it's not as car-centric as it used to be
but it's not completely not car-centric I'm always gonna love cars and once I get to both
so I can here start working on that there's probably gonna be a lot more car talk as a result of that
finally got me apart for the Cadillac hadn't had a chance to put it on yet but I'm gonna be doing that
soon let's see what we got here this is Amazon fulfillment services let's hope there's a note
on the side

trim but on the bottom I want to do a one by six uh to kind of lock the bottom in really good
and I got to go buy some one by sixes so I can make that last piece that goes around the bottom
then I'll trim all the rest of the screen but I made a joke about that my buddy Adam the my editor
and uh Adam goes you know how many people I know they have a screened in porch that all
they're missing is just a little bit of trim they ain't finished you asshole but he's right
it'd probably take me a month to get the rest of that trim done I'm gonna try to have it done by
Christmas but I was doing some carpentry work this showed up at the PO box a 50 pack of Hot Wheels
cars and I ain't got a clue who they're from because there ain't no note with them but this
is another 50 smiles and this come from albuquerque amazon fulfillment surfaces in albuquerque new
Mexico so if you sent us 50 cars from albuquerque new Mexico maybe these these might be the ones

before that first Father's Day podcast and well into the now from Maine Florida and even my trip

we got a thousand cars we'd be doing something you know hell I thought we got 500 cars we'd be
doing something but by god that's another 200 cars let me do some figuring here shouldn't be hard
math y'all probably got it figured out in your head that puts us at uh 1800 nearly 2000 cars
that we're gonna give away next week 1886 cars god a mighty look at that
tell me there ain't no goodness in the world you were surrounded by it bro surrounded by it
there's a lot of light left in this world no it feels dark sometimes there's a lot of light left in
this world a lot of light
I hope y'all are doing out all right out there there's been a lot of upheaval in the world lately
sometimes it feels like everything's changing other days it feels like the same old bullshit we've
all been we've always been trudging through the good news is none of it lasts forever
one day whether you believe it or not you'll find yourself missing some part of the world as it is
now we were living in that junky old house off althea you could not have convinced me
that I'd ever miss that place dodgy wiring seedling leaks roof that side every time it
rained nosy neighbors who somehow made being unpleasant their full-time job
but I'll never forget asking Rachel to marry me somewhere between the living room in the kitchen
I'll never forget the games we played in that living room with my friends back when times are good
for that little circle fell apart I'll never forget working on motorbikes in that garage by
myself and my little dog the thing about good times is you don't always recognize them until
you're on the other side of it you need distance to see what mattered that distance is the filter
that often gives those memories value
I'd like to move my family to a better place someday
and as small as our little house is right now and as hot and swampy as Houston stays
as many tornadoes and direchos and hurricanes as we died I already know I'll miss this chapter
I'll miss the rebuilding the growing the surviving
one day I'll think about all of us sharing this one very old bathroom
and me fighting every kind of bug and plant infestation known to man and I'll laugh I'll miss it
and some of y'all listening right now saying hell no I ain't gonna miss any of this
some of you going through something brutal grief loss heartbreak kind of hurt that makes the future
feel like it's made out of fog and bad guesses but I promise you this one day you'll long for
something from this moment in time maybe it's it maybe it's it's simple maybe it's just a door
that creaks just right every time maybe it's the sound of your little cat's feet padding down a wood
hallway maybe it's a voice you'll never hear again there will be something there's always something
learning that has made me really try to pay attention to the things I know I miss why I'm
still living them right here right now told you I don't know where this thing ends but I know one
day I'll miss sitting out in this old garage talking to y'all every Sunday
ain't coming soon but everything has to end
I'm rooting for you I hope that you're being a little bit of an observer in your own life that
you're recording and mentally recording the things that you'll miss one day
pay attention to it pay attention to the way your room looks right now
pay attention the way your life looks right now pay attention to the people in your life right
now even if they're not permanent some people some people ain't permanent Steve wasn't a permanent
person in my life doesn't mean I don't miss the good times we have the good memories
doesn't mean I don't often think of it finally
pay attention to that stuff I'm rooting for you
if you are going through something hard I hope you're coming out on the back side of it
you uh
whatever you are right now is enough you're enough you're good enough
you're enough it's that simple I know you are
that's why I root for you I'm JW and I love you
1886 cars that is wow something that started as a fart of an idea
1886 cars that's a lot of joy that's a lot of joy we're gonna bring
gonna take two cars to haul it all up there but it's gonna be a lot of joy
come back next week I'll tell you guys how Mississippi went down I hope it goes well
nothing else I think I'm enjoying getting out there and getting into
a little different culture I don't go to Mississippi often because uh of Louisiana
I would probably go to Mississippi and Alabama more if it wasn't for Louisiana
but I got in so much trouble in Louisiana back in the day I still feel nervous trying you know
I got a clean license now and I don't ride dirty I still sort of always feel like I'm
gonna go to jail when I'm in Louisiana I'm even nervous thinking about driving through Louisiana
today I'm gonna drive through Louisiana today and I'm a little nervous but
guess if I'm in the chat today y'all know I made it Louisiana back
haha
still got a little bit of that cough
