SPEAKER_06 0:02

So you were looking for something to listen to, and you ended up here. What's up? My name is Ethan, and I'm the host of the show. Over the past 25 years, I've had a wild group of people walk through my tattoo shop and tell me some of the craziest stories you would never hear unless you were sitting in that chair. I've invited a few of these maniacs to join me and talk about everything, anything, and nothing. Whether it's about UFOs, aliens, food, conspiracies, or whatever, you're sure to be entertained and probably get a laugh out of it. Or you're gonna think we're a bunch of nutjobs and never come back again. Either way, you're here with us now, so sit back, relax, take cruise control, and enjoy the ride. I can't believe all the people around. Okay, we're rolling, we're live. This is the Cat and Chat Podcast, and it's Tuesday, and you're listening to your favorite or not favorite people.

SPEAKER_04 2:20

SPEAKER_06 2:47

So you got Josh with me and Renee and uh me, Ethan. We're you're on uh you're live with us talking about whatever the hell you want to talk about. We thought about let's not even talk about anything that you want to talk about, and we'll just talk about what we want to talk about. Like I have some sandwiches and all this stuff, but then we thought, well, we should probably not treat our guests that way.

SPEAKER_09 3:07

Or should we hey I I I'm here for you guys, your entertainment, and you guys had a great icebreaker. Let's keep rolling.

SPEAKER_06 3:15

So, what's going on, Drew? So you're uh I got I got a little bio on here. I'm gonna read a little bit of uh of it. You're it looks like you were born in Schenectady, and uh you're you're currently fighting out of uh Cadillac, Michigan, right?

SPEAKER_09 3:29

Cadillac, Michigan, sure, sure. I that's what that's I I actually live um about eight miles out. We have a homestead, about six-acre homestead outside of uh Cadillac, Michigan.

SPEAKER_06 3:39

Oh, that's sweet. So you have like a farm and stuff?

SPEAKER_01 3:41

He's a homesteader, too. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_09 3:43

Oh yeah, yeah. Whatever I could do to kind of disconnect myself and make myself a little bit more uh self self-reliant.

SPEAKER_06 3:49

Yeah, that's uh that's the challenge these days.

SPEAKER_01 3:52

Do you have a bare knuckle farm stand, bro?

SPEAKER_09 3:55

Yeah, I mean, I do have a ring, uh 12 by 12 ring in my uh little compound. That's awesome. That's cool. I have uh, you know, some hanging heavy bags, and you know, I uh I got my friend out here. I fly him out to uh have us beat the crap out of each other a little bit, you know.

SPEAKER_06 4:12

That's awesome. Yeah, I see you uh you have a couple kids, so you do you have them uh going in the ring and hitting the heavy bag, getting ready for for the flight?

SPEAKER_09 4:19

Absolutely. As soon as they can walk, they're putting the gloves on.

SPEAKER_06 4:23

Yeah, I feel like if if you're a fighter of any kind, like professionally, you you you you're pretty much training your kids, right? You you guys gotta be the first thing on your on your on your mind. Like, my kids are gonna know how to fight.

SPEAKER_09 4:35

It's like the a second nature to them. They don't even understand it's something uh unique. You know?

SPEAKER_06 4:41

Well, yeah, I mean they just know they see you do it, they've been seeing you do it, and it's just a part of their life. I mean, my kids think tattoos are normal. I'm a tattoo artist and they just think it's normal, but not everybody does tattoos. Well, these days everybody's doing tattoos, so who knows?

SPEAKER_09 4:56

I remember uh I don't I oh God, I apologize. I was gonna say, uh, I I I actually met you when you were opening up in Hagensburg a long time ago.

SPEAKER_06 5:07

Where I don't know where which what do you know what shop it was?

SPEAKER_09 5:12

Uh your f your first shop, I'm assuming. Um like you you were you just had moved into Hartensburg. You end up doing a tattoo on one of my friends. It was actually a re reproduction tattoo of mine that I had on my knuckles, hard body. Oh, it was You did it on uh Trevor Trevor Harris.

SPEAKER_06 5:30

Yeah, that's funny you say that because I was reading your bio and stuff, or I saw something somewhere where it said hard body, and they called you maybe they called you hard body in one of the fights. I was watching it's my nickname, yeah. Yeah, and and uh and uh yeah, and I was thinking, oh, I tattooed this kid, Trevor.

SPEAKER_09 5:44

And I said, You better have a hard body forever, Trevor, because right now you don't well for Trevor, for us, for for you, it's not necessarily the definition of body, it's more of a state of mind, how you attack life, you know? Yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_01 6:02

I like that.

SPEAKER_09 6:03

Well, yeah, he he uh he's got a lot, he seems to like copy a lot of tattoos, but I'm flattered. He's a good you know, I went to grade school with him, and you know, our friends from elementary school are always the weirdest, right?

SPEAKER_03 6:14

Yeah, I mean I'm gonna get dad body tattooed on my knuckles. Dad body go you should have it.

SPEAKER_06 6:21

It's probably already been done. I love it.

SPEAKER_01 6:23

I love it so much. Dad bod for life.

SPEAKER_06 6:26

Dad bod. I love it. I love it. Four. But you have to get your dad bod four. That's it with a number the number four, because you can't put any can't you can't. Well, you can probably get dad, put the B here, and that's just O D for O.

SPEAKER_01 6:38

Use your freaking thumbs, bro.

SPEAKER_06 6:41

Yeah, you can't. You can spell daddy with an uh I and a one.

SPEAKER_01 6:46

No, we don't do that around here.

SPEAKER_06 6:48

Or you make it so you lock your knuckles together and then it says it. So when it's just like on your knuckles, it's all these random letters. Like, what the fuck does that say? So creative.

SPEAKER_04 6:55

So Drew. Exactly.

SPEAKER_06 6:57

Yes, so so you're doing the so what how'd you get into the bare knuckle fighting? I you know, I've seen it a few times, and actually, since uh since you sent me a message and we were talking about um because that's pretty intense.

SPEAKER_01 7:09

Like it's it's it's legit warrior style, like it's street fighting to the core.

SPEAKER_09 7:15

It is it is there's nothing like it. It's like uh you know 120 mile per hour car crash, and I I couldn't dream of doing it any other way. I mean, I fought MMA. I fought MMA, I fought uh professional boxing. Um the road just led there, you know. I uh I was able to uh work with a a lot of people along the way. I met uh uh uh Philly uh Philly from these, uh, which is Glover Tishera and Alex Pereira's coach at a Christy Martin show that I had fought at. I don't know, kind of like spiraled into this. Um it seemed that if I was going to get into an organization, I wasn't gonna get into UFC. I didn't feel like I had the pedigree for that. But I had a pedigree to move forward and bite down on my mouth guard and kick some ass, you know. So, you know, I went to a I went to a tryouts, uh, they liked what they seen, and uh, you know, they made me a company man, you know. They they signed me to 2028, and you know, now I'm fighting on the biggest show that they have here, uh, July 3rd, uh America's 20th our 250th anniversary, and I'm excited, you know.

SPEAKER_01 8:17

Listen, we want some tickets, we're ready to go watch it. We'll we scream so loud. We're we're cheerleader power over here.

SPEAKER_09 8:24

It's hostile. That's it.

SPEAKER_06 8:30

We should actually try to go down to that. That'd be cool. You should know us.

SPEAKER_03 8:32

Is it the same rules? Like, can you is there takedowns and submissions and stuff?

SPEAKER_09 8:37

No, no take, no takedown or submissions. Um, but we can clinch. Uh obviously no gloves. Uh we can glitch. Uh they're two-minute rounds, but we start from the center of the ring. We don't start from corners. We start in striking distance. Yeah, so we start in striking distance. Yeah. Um, so I can grab them, I can hold their hands, I can hit their hands. Um, you can't hit below the waist, obviously. You can't hit um anything uh like that. There's no kicks. Um you can open your hands, but um it's more to grab somebody in, pull somebody in, move, pumble, uh, pay uh, you know, parry their parry their jab. Um, but it it's a it's a good mixture to understand uh being from uh a wrestling background and a boxing background. So if that makes any sense.

SPEAKER_06 9:24

Yeah, so I mean it's just really you can take a punch, you can dish out a punch, have some boxing boxing experience, maybe MMA will guide you through this a little bit, but you just gotta be a bad motherfucker.

SPEAKER_01 9:34

You do.

SPEAKER_09 9:35

Straight out. You gotta, you gotta, you gotta have a little screw loose to want to do this. Yeah, too. Definitely.

SPEAKER_06 9:41

Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, you gotta have the balls to try because it's like I mean, I see some of those guys on there, and I I I was watching a couple of your fights.

SPEAKER_01 9:47

I love this shit so much.

SPEAKER_06 9:49

I know, I'm watching these fights, I'm like, man, these guys, I I mean, I've watched it before, but I'm just I was watching some of your fights. I was like, man, these guys are just hammered. I mean, bear, I mean, everybody knows that, you know, anybody that's been into a fight knows that throwing enough punches that you you know you threw them, and then getting hit by someone doing the same back to you, you know you got hit. And when I see some of these fights, man, they're going, I'm like, man, they got hit way too many times. They probably have brain damage. There's probably some people.

SPEAKER_01 10:14

Dude, listen, I'm such a Kimball Slice fan, so bare knuckle fights. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 10:19

That's I that is that is the godfather of our sport, right there.

SPEAKER_01 10:23

Isn't it? I've been to a few UFC live. Like, I watched George Saint Pierre win his title in Montreal, but like I love fighting stuff. Like it's so I'm a true fan. Um two minutes is a long time. Do you really stand that long? Be honest.

SPEAKER_09 10:37

Yeah, no, it's it it it is it is like an eternity. It's a it's it's wonderful. Honestly, it's like with that two minutes, you get an opportunity to stop time. Right. Like it's it's it's the slowest two minutes of your life. Forever. Yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 10:53

Oh, time is ticking. 30 seconds is a long time in a street fight, so I can imagine two minutes twice.

SPEAKER_03 10:59

Well, let's talk about this when we when we sign them up to come on. And like, I've been in a lot of fights, and I don't mind getting punched in the face. I kind of like it. But by a professional, like a professional fighter is different. You're bare knuckle with a professional. I don't I don't think I want any of that.

SPEAKER_01 11:16

That's like that power slap stuff. I love slapping a bitch, but like I uh do I want to stand at that podium? Yeah, not with a professional slapper y'all.

SPEAKER_09 11:24

That you will fly. I'm not gonna take no unprotected shot for for free. That's crazy. Like I wouldn't do that slap stuff.

SPEAKER_01 11:30

Oh, that power slap.

SPEAKER_09 11:31

I think that's a little that's too much for me.

SPEAKER_06 11:34

Well, at least at least you're like you're able to dodge, you know what I mean? When you're when you're doing a bare knuckle, yeah, it's bare knuckle, and you're smashing each other's faces really goddamn hard. But you're watching it, you're pulling yourself away, you're trying to use, yeah, you're using your skill set, but slapping across the face. Like I honestly can't believe uh that uh Dana kind of backed. I think I don't know if he's still doing it or or or if he was, but like I'm like, it just seems like such a different direction next to like UFC or a fight, you know?

SPEAKER_01 12:03

He does back that power slap stock.

SPEAKER_09 12:06

I mean, BKFC is paying more at the trajectory for their guys and their curses than UFC is. And you know, we've only been around now for eight eight years.

SPEAKER_06 12:18

It's that it's that so so um 2000, yeah, 2018. So it's worth your while. So Kimbo really is Kimbo really is the is the godfather of baronockle fighting.

SPEAKER_09 12:30

Yeah, no, like it started it, it started in South Florida. Um and and I would have to say that the Hard Rock Cafe um is is definitely the the center of BKFC, but like we're all over the world now, like everywhere. Everywhere around the world. Yeah, I guess I I know right after my right after my show in Philadelphia, they're going to Naples, Italy again. Wow for a second time. Nice. That's you know, and then they'll be going to um Uruguay, where where else? They're everywhere. That kind of United Kingdom has a big concha trade, too.

SPEAKER_01 13:01

We're we'll take tickets.

SPEAKER_06 13:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:03

We're not against any cities.

SPEAKER_06 13:08

My address is one awesome street. Put us on the guest list and we'll uh we'll be there, bro.

SPEAKER_01 13:12

SPEAKER_01 13:26

Okay, so will you get us in there with the with the mics and we'll be able to do a couple interviews with other fighters?

SPEAKER_09 13:31

Oh, you'll be able to I'll promise you. I promise you'll be able to interview me and I can get you uh, you know, outside our hotel. Love it. I can get you, I can get you today see whoever you want. Like, you know, Austin Trout's uh fighting uh Benjamin Bonner, which is uh the UK champion's fighting the American champion. If you know who Austin Trout, no doubt Trout is. He comes from UFC. Nice and he's uh holds the he holds the world 165 uh pound title.

SPEAKER_01 13:58

But but let's concentrate on you right now. What's your favorite thing? What's your favorite thing about what you do?

SPEAKER_09 14:05

I mean the people. Like I I honestly, I uh I'm a pretty humble person. I'm hungry, I've I've had a crazy life, but uh more so than anywhere is I want to show through action that anybody can do what I can do. Um there's nothing proprietary. If you work hard, anybody can accomplish anything. Like, I mean it. I know a lot of people say that sounds like uh you know a broken record, but it's true, man. I I feel that this is all matrix and we manifest everything.

SPEAKER_01 14:34

Oh, you following our chords over here.

SPEAKER_06 14:36

Yeah, that's that's that's that's the that's the walk that we walk. So so you um you said you used to train up here, right?

SPEAKER_09 14:43

So when when you came in the Mercedes, I I lived up there as a as a youth. Um my mother, uh, my stepfather had lived up there. I went to Hammond Elementary.

SPEAKER_06 14:52

Oh, Hammond.

SPEAKER_03 14:53

So you're not very educated.

SPEAKER_09 14:55

Oh I went to I went to OFA before before I was before I was taken out, before I was taken out of my uh my home, I was taken out of uh my home, but I went to OFA before that, like the middle school. Um, but you know, I have a lot of friends up there. I have a lot of supporters, I have a couple sponsors up there. Um Stone Fence Resort responds uh sponsors me, Big Cheese sponsors me. Um, so I mean I have connections through St. Lawrence County pretty deep.

SPEAKER_01 15:20

That's awesome. That's cool. We love to hear that. Now, is there a woman division in your fighting?

SPEAKER_09 15:26

Oh, hell hell yeah. Christine Faria is the baddest woman on the planet.

SPEAKER_01 15:29

SPEAKER_09 15:38

Then you got uh uh the uh Black Widow, um which is um again. Goodness, uh let me think real quick. It's okay. Brynhart and Sarah Shell, they'll be on there uh fighting. Uh uh Bryn Hart is, you know, she's she's made a real real career in this. She's like the reigning defending uh champion right now, and uh at 115 pounds, and she'll be fighting Dr. Sarah Shell, which is pretty dope.

SPEAKER_06 16:09

And that's coming up on the July 3rd.

SPEAKER_09 16:11

Yep, that'll be at the July 3rd card. But then uh the real claim to fame in Philadelphia is the fucking cannoli guy. His name is Johnny Garaberno or Gabrano or whatever the hell. But these people go fucking nuts for him. I'm gonna excuse my language, but they go absolutely nuts for this guy. He's gonna get his ass kicked this way, but uh that's uh but that's uh you know another story, and uh I'm no storytelling.

SPEAKER_06 16:37

Yeah, you uh you're allowed to swear in the show. We swear all the time. Like we say fuck a lot. You speak our language. We say fuck. We swear you swear fuck sometimes. Yep, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 16:48

I got the French from the beginning, the beginning gag that I walked into.

SPEAKER_06 16:54

Yeah, well I'm I'm actually glad that that worked. I didn't think it was gonna really work with either. Then she starts talking. I'm like, wait, is he talking nuts? I'm like, wait, he thinks he's on hold right now. And it's cool. I was saying recording too, so I think I'm gonna throw that into the into the mix. What an insight. Or maybe I'll throw it at the end.

Yeah, so how do how do you know him? How do I know AJ? Uh I've known AJ a long time. Um well, the same show about AJ, but I'll tell you how I first met him, and this will tell you the kind of guy he is. Um I was putting a roof on my house, and uh I asked a friend of mine who's a roofer if he'd helped me on the weekend. He said, Yeah. And he comes over on a Saturday and AJ's with him. He was 19 at the time, and I'd never met him. I said, uh, he goes, Hey, my buddy wanted to come help. I said, Okay, well, I'm not paying you guys. And AJ's like, no, no. He's like, I just somebody is somebody needed a hand, so I come over.

SPEAKER_09 18:26

I'm like, well, that's AJ AJ is a very, very cool, humble dude. Yeah, AJ. I have uh nothing, nothing bad to say about him. You know, one day maybe him and I can have a twilight fight in St. Lawrence County to you know do something there.

SPEAKER_05 18:43

Sponsored by the Tat and Chat Podcast. He's run out of the game for a little while. He hasn't fought for a while, but he's gonna be a good one.

SPEAKER_01 18:50

I'll comment the whole thing. Live action.

SPEAKER_09 18:52

I'm uh I'm with uh the the guy. So he his last uh professional fight, he uh uh fought the cousin of the guy that I'm running with right now.

SPEAKER_03 19:02

Oh yeah?

SPEAKER_09 19:03

Eddie Hawes. Yeah, he beat him. He beat him. Um so I was yeah, no, we we know AJ.

SPEAKER_06 19:10

I was uh I was so I was checking out your some of your stuff, and so you're like you're like 35 right now. Is that what the is that what you're saying? Yes, sir. So so is what's what's where's the age limit in uh the bare knuckle world? Like what what do they what do they say is you're too old.

SPEAKER_09 19:25

So I mean, there's there's guys like um Houston Alexander that is like 52 years old right now, and he's still rocking and rolling.

SPEAKER_06 19:32

He's still Houston Alexander fights in the bare knuckle? Yeah, oh yeah, dude, he's four and oh right now.

SPEAKER_09 19:38

Five and all, I'm sorry, five and all.

SPEAKER_06 19:39

No shit.

SPEAKER_09 19:40

I haven't seen him fight in a long time. So shit, dude. So here's here's my thing though. I'm signed until 2028, man, and I'm cool with that. June 2028, that's it. I want to get my 10 fights in, get my equity, because once you get 10 fights within the company, you start becoming part owner. Nice Conor McGregor is Connor McGregor's majority owner. I don't know how much you know about the industry.

SPEAKER_06 20:03

No, I don't know, I don't know much about it. We're learning from you. You you fill us in.

SPEAKER_09 20:07

Okay. All right. So Connor McGregor uh came in and he he, you know, wrote his uh you know, Green Irish horse in and he saved everybody with all of his money, right? And they spanned him, and you know, he's got a fight coming up against Max Holloway and da-da-da-da-da. I'm all worried about what's going on in front of me. But um, before that, uh David Feldman uh was the creator of BKFC, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Before that, the precursor of BKFC was felony fights and the shit that uh Kimbo Slice used to do, you know, with Jordan Mass Vidal and Gada, you know, 3000 and all those guys, or 5,000, I'm sorry. Um but now it's just grown to such a contagious, such a um such a fast growing thing. Like it's it's perfect for right now, man. It's perfect for this day, this age, this time, you know, it's timeless, you know?

SPEAKER_06 21:03

Yeah, it's well it's it's gritty. It's gritty, man. Like when you watch it, it's raw. And if anybody's been punched in the face by someone who can fucking punch pretty hard, when you watch it, I'm like, oh, oh I'm like, oh, again? Oh fuck you feel it. You're like, yeah, and I'm like, that was my tooth. I saw I saw something a while back. I saw something a while back where these dudes were fighting, there was hay bales around them. Is that like early bare knuckle championships?

SPEAKER_09 21:32

So that's that's the Russian stuff. That's the Russian stuff. That's that's uh top top dog is what they I think they call it. Yeah, and uh that's the that's the Russian outfit of it overseas. They got Russian, they got UK, they got all these other things, but none of them, and I and I'm not just saying it because I work for the company and I fight for the company, but no company compares to BKSC, and that's the fact.

SPEAKER_06 21:56

Well, I when I was watching one of the fights, I can't remember what referee. Was in there, but um maybe like Dan Mergliato or something like that.

SPEAKER_09 22:03

Dan Mergliato uh when I when I I did my uh little bleach mustache.

I want to have a paintbrush, I want to have like uh guitar pick, I got shred on one finger, I got create on the other. Because I shred a guitar.

SPEAKER_01 36:37

SPEAKER_06 37:11

Like literally run backwards the rest of the way, or just yeah, run back. Well, not no, just turn around and then go back. Oh, I thought it was great. I was like, man, this guy's fucking hard. Oh my god. He's running backwards. And the best part is BB's talking.

SPEAKER_01 37:38

SPEAKER_09 37:39

It's so, it's so people are so cool out here. Michigan is such a such a refreshing place, man. Like, I live in I live in the woods, man. Like, I live out in the woods, I love where I live. But like it's like I can go into the city out here. Everybody knows who I am, everybody smiles, everybody waves. You know, they have like regional MMA events here. They allow me to go in, you know, say something during the halftime. I'm pretty stoked. They treat me very, very well around here.

SPEAKER_06 38:03

So you're kind of like a rock star on your own way over there.

SPEAKER_09 38:06

Well, like I said, I don't I don't really uh appreciate like uh I don't I don't like hero worship or like idol. I think that we should all be our own heroes, but if I can inspire somebody to inspire themselves, I think that's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_01 38:19

Here's what I want to know. What is your favorite thing to eat right now?

SPEAKER_09 38:25

Um, I mean McDonald's. I'm actually no, I don't eat McDonald's. I I do I do drink the coffees, I will say that.

SPEAKER_00 38:32

Um that is so Josh, it is such a Josh thing to say.

SPEAKER_06 38:36

I always bust Josh's shops. I'm like, I said we're gonna eat McDonald's. I said, he's like using McDang bang. I don't need your cool. You drink the coffee down there.

SPEAKER_09 38:43

You literally almost said exactly the same as I'll drink the coffee. I uh I try I try to eat whole. If that does that make any sense, I try to eat whole foods. Just uh, you know, I I want to know the source of whatever my food is. Um that's about like how I could say I eat. Um, I mean, obviously I love steak. We can't always afford steak, you know. That's like, you know, the a luxury, you know, maybe I'll get like you know, two, three times a month, which I'm excited about. But uh I mean that's I'm I'm humble, man. Chicken is chicken is chicken, uh, you know, uh you know chicken and vegetables. Chicken and chicken and vegetables, man, you know, we'll just uh eat a tremendous uh tremendous amount to keep myself going today. I was uh doing a little bit of an intermediate fast, so I'm on one today. A lot of coffee and uh water.

SPEAKER_06 39:36

So when so when you're training for this shit, like so she she asked what you ate for food, like how many calories are you estimated to be burning a day versus what you're intaking?

SPEAKER_09 39:46

Like you I know you're eating whole food, so you're eating a lot of like that's a that's a that's a good question. Um, you know, it depends on I because I weigh myself twice a day. Um when I get up, it'll depend on where my weight is. I I don't want to get too exceed I want to make sure that I keep keep a tremendous uh a good good amount of weight on probably five, six pounds heavier than my flight weight, but I don't want to go too light, you know, because then I then I have to like over overeat and I don't want to overeat. So um I don't know, it's it's it kind of depends on how it depends on the day. It depends on how I wake up, it depends on a lot of things on my calorie and you know. I generally don't eat uh I don't eat three meals, I'll eat like two meals. Okay, and there'll be a lot like larger meals. Um interesting. I drink a lot I drink a lot of water and a lot, a lot more coffee than I probably should, but yeah, you know, I pretty much only drink water.

SPEAKER_06 40:41

Water is the safest to me. I drink that and tea.

SPEAKER_09 40:45

When I when I get when I get you know the first thing that I'll do though when I'm I'm done with my fight is I will go and drink a Coca-Cola. I love that stuff, but it's so bad for you. So bad for you.

SPEAKER_06 40:56

I'm not a soda person. I uh like water is my main my main go-to, but I I like McDonald's too, and as we were talking earlier, and Josh knows he's he will not join me for lunch. He made us eat McDonald's on the show one night.

SPEAKER_01 41:09

It was so awesome.

SPEAKER_09 41:10

It was too much. I'm just convinced uh McDonald's is some somewhere between Soil and Green, man.

SPEAKER_01 41:17

La la la la la. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_06 41:20

She's she's ignored, she's singing over you. She doesn't want to hear all the bad words, but we will get a professional fighter, but I'm with you right now.

SPEAKER_09 41:28

Are you familiar with soil and green?

SPEAKER_03 41:29

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_09 41:31

Oh yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah. That's McDonald's to me, man.

SPEAKER_03 41:35

I don't eat it like I I don't I I don't like not eat McDonald's because it's not good for you. I just think it tastes like ass. I don't eat any fast food, and it's not like it's keeping me in good shape, but you know, I just don't like it.

SPEAKER_09 41:51

You see, you guys still got uh Dixie Lee chicken out there? No, it's gone. Oh I used to love their hot sauce when I was there, man. That was that's why it's had amazing, amazing hot sauce.

SPEAKER_06 42:01

Yeah, you know, the funny the thing that got weird about that place, there's a couple weird things that happened with that place. One was someone took it over, and uh apparently they were just going to like Price Chopper or like Aldi or something like that, and buying like the banquet fried chicken, and they weren't you they weren't using the recipe and they were frying that shit up and serving the people. I heard, I don't know if it's true, but that's wild. And then another thing I think happened there, did you hear about the guy who was going around um robbing all the Amish a couple years ago?

SPEAKER_09 42:31

I I did I did not hear that. I did see, so I like I I actually went up there and I you know did my uh little renaissance probably not not even a year ago. I I went up there, visited everybody, you know, visited my old homes, you know, had a good cry to see my childhood homes and all that, you know, nice stuff. Uh but uh everything's owned by Amish now.

SPEAKER_06 42:51

Well, everything's so what happened was they someone was going around stagecoach robbery? No, listen, so no, someone was going around robbing Amish when they were at church and shit, and they were going to people's houses and just breaking in like that there'd be one kid home. They said, show me the safe, and they'd rob them. Well, I guess they went to Dixie Lee and they tried to rob them, but one of the kids working there, I remember thinking the dude who chased the dude's like uh chased after him, they had a gun and they ran away holding the gun because I don't think they really wanted to shoot, or maybe it wasn't loaded, and the dude realized it chased them out and they caught him, and that's how they caught the people, or something like that. That's great. I don't know that story's that I don't know how I want to believe. I don't know what part of my facts are correct.

SPEAKER_09 43:29
