Some really good stories. [00:00:34] Speaker A: It's story time. [00:00:35] Speaker B: It is story time. We just wanna. [00:00:39] Speaker A: It'll be personal stories, stories about other people. Just whatever we thought was pretty wild and crazy and maybe interesting. We're gonna bring it up today. [00:00:47] Speaker B: We thought you guys would enjoy some. [00:00:49] Speaker A: Of these, like this much of like what we really know. But, you know, some. Some good ones. I've got some. I've actually got some crazy ones about some people that I have met through the years that, that I've heard different things about. I'm going to talk about just things that are way out there. [00:01:06] Speaker B: Okay, I'll start us off. I've one of the. My best memories and it was at your house, if, if you can remember this. So we all had a big campfire at your house. You remember this? [00:01:23] Speaker A: Mm. [00:01:25] Speaker B: So we was all sitting, sitting around the campfire. [00:01:27] Speaker A: It was a big bonfire. [00:01:28] Speaker B: Big bonfire. And we invited a ton of people from school over. Yeah. In his field. And we were sitting there, We were fixing. We were all boxing. We had boxing gloves on. We were gonna. [00:01:45] Speaker A: Yeah, we were doing. [00:01:46] Speaker B: I thought a few of us had already boxed. And then I. I can't remember if we did or not. Anyway, I had boxing gloves on. I was fixing to go up and your brother comes up and you had a dog, Sonya. [00:02:00] Speaker A: Big great. Pyrenees. [00:02:02] Speaker B: Pyrenees, yeah. Now I push that dog out. Just push it. I just push it out of the way. Your brother's what, 14 at this time? [00:02:10] Speaker A: Maybe 13, 14, maybe, something like that. [00:02:13] Speaker B: I don't remember. [00:02:14] Speaker A: We were probably just 16 or 17 then. [00:02:18] Speaker B: And we go, oh gosh, we. Out of nowhere I get hit right in the sternum. Right in the sternum by Derek, my brother. And before I knew what had happened. It was just a reaction. If I had thought for a split second, I never would have hit him. [00:02:44] Speaker A: He had boxing gloves. [00:02:44] Speaker B: I did have boxing gloves, but I mean I hit him just. And he just falls out to the floor. He falls out on the floor? [00:02:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:51] Speaker B: You cold cocked him and it was just a reaction. I'm 18, I'm older than most, you know, I was 18 years old. So. Because you guys were. [00:03:03] Speaker A: How old are you? [00:03:04] Speaker B: I'm 36, like 37. [00:03:07] Speaker A: I'm 35. So he would have. He was 16 or 17 then. If you. If you were 18. He would have been 15. Turning 16 or. He was 16 already. [00:03:16] Speaker B: Well, anyways, I was. I was an adult. Yeah. And he was. He was still a minor. [00:03:22] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:23] Speaker B: And that's all I could think about. So anyways, cold, cocky, he hits the ground, he comes back to. He starts spitting on everybody. You remember that? [00:03:33] Speaker A: I don't remember. [00:03:34] Speaker B: Start spitting on everybody. [00:03:36] Speaker A: Matt says I can't remember anything, so. [00:03:38] Speaker B: And. [00:03:38] Speaker A: And I really. I have lost some memory. [00:03:40] Speaker B: But. So. So we get out through there and he grabs all of our food. Every bit of our food. We've got hamburger meat, we've got hot dogs, we've got chips. We've got anything you can think of for a. For a good. [00:03:54] Speaker A: I remember that. I forgot about that. [00:03:56] Speaker B: Well, I would have. I'm sure you would remember. You're the one that dove in the fire to get all of her stuff. [00:04:01] Speaker A: I don't remember that. [00:04:02] Speaker B: You do. You don't remember that? [00:04:04] Speaker A: Oh, my God. No, I don't remember it. [00:04:08] Speaker B: So you. So he grabs all of our food. Before we even know what happens, he throws it. And we had a fire in a round pen. In the round pen where you would feed horses or feed cattle? Yeah, big round pen. And we had a fire in our blazing. He takes all of our food and just chunks it in there and. Well, Bo goes running through there and tries to get everything out that he can. That he can get. I mean, at this point, you know, but. And you know, he, you know, Derek's going crazy and we're trying to calm him down. And I do remember that your mom and dad come out. My dad? Well, yeah, both of them. Well, okay, maybe your dad at first. [00:04:55] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:04:56] Speaker B: Whichever it was, my dad's one that. [00:04:57] Speaker A: Drug him back in the house once. I got it. [00:04:59] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. Well, then they call the cops. You do not remember this? Are you serious? [00:05:05] Speaker A: I don't remember the cops being there. [00:05:07] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. How do you not remember that? [00:05:10] Speaker A: What? They call the cops. [00:05:11] Speaker B: They hauled him away that night. Do you not remember that? [00:05:14] Speaker A: No, they didn't. [00:05:15] Speaker B: Yes, they did. [00:05:16] Speaker A: I. I promise. They took him in the house. [00:05:19] Speaker B: No, they didn't. [00:05:20] Speaker A: I ran him down in the field. My dad come got him. He climbed out on the roof. [00:05:25] Speaker B: No. [00:05:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:26] Speaker B: Do you remember him dragging him through the field? Dragging him through the field? [00:05:29] Speaker A: Yes. [00:05:29] Speaker B: Throwing cinder blocks at him. [00:05:31] Speaker A: Who was throwing that? [00:05:33] Speaker B: Derek was throwing cinder blocks at your dad and your dad had a belt. [00:05:36] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I ran Derek down and I tackled him, and then I gave it to my dad. My dad was dragging me. [00:05:42] Speaker B: The cops come up there. Absolutely. [00:05:46] Speaker A: I don't remember him hauling him off. [00:05:47] Speaker B: Yes. Okay. Unless I'm getting two stories that end of that story, but I'm. Your brother got hauled off at some point from your house. 100%. [00:05:58] Speaker A: I held him down one night while the cops took him to jail. Well, but you wasn't there. [00:06:03] Speaker B: I wasn't there, but they come up there. [00:06:06] Speaker A: Okay, but anyways. So anyway, I'm not arguing it didn't happen. I'll tell you that right now. I don't doubt it a bit. I remember running him down, and only. [00:06:17] Speaker B: Thing I was worried about was going to jail. That's the only thing I was worried about because I hit him and because that's all he was screaming. Would you hit a minor? [00:06:27] Speaker A: They were boxing with Sonya. [00:06:28] Speaker B: I remember that. [00:06:29] Speaker A: Oh. [00:06:29] Speaker B: And yes, that's it. Of course. But you hit a minor. You hit a minor, you're going to jail. And I assumed that I was going to jail. I mean, I figured I was. I didn't know. But, you know, after it all calmed down and whether he went with them, I'm about positive they took him away. I could be wrong. [00:06:47] Speaker A: Do you remember him coming out on. [00:06:48] Speaker B: The roof before they got there? [00:06:50] Speaker A: Yes, he came out on the roof, and my dad took him inside and made him go in the house. Yes, I remember. And we were. You know, there's 15 of us out there. Remember Brody had his Acura Integra parked in the field, and the goats was. [00:07:00] Speaker B: Up on top of him. Goats was on top of his Acura Integra. We were all just sitting around chilling. This was after that. This was after it all calmed. Everything calmed down. And you hear this, you know, scuffling around. We're like, what is that? We go over there and there's two goats, one on the hood, one on the top of the roof of the car. [00:07:21] Speaker A: Brody's chasing them off. He's pissed off. Yeah, I remember that. [00:07:29] Speaker B: And then we had a pretty good night. And then when we went to sleep, do you remember what happened? [00:07:34] Speaker A: Knot tear. Yeah, I remember that. That's crazy. So we had a buddy who used to have knot tears. Real. And I knew it. I knew that because he lived, just lived. I mean, I could throw a rock to his house. And Matt hadn't experienced it. Neither had nobody else that's been over there. I think Cameron was there. Ben was there. Jordan was there. [00:07:58] Speaker B: There was a bunch of people. [00:07:59] Speaker A: There's a bunch of us there that had no idea of this. And in the middle of the night. [00:08:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:05] Speaker A: Two, three o'clock in the morning, jumps up like there's a grizzly bear after him. And nobody knows what's going on but me and Cody and we take off and try to run him down. Normally that happens in a house where he's contained, he's outside. Who knows what's going to happen? Yeah. So we had to run him down. That was probably pretty wild for you guys. [00:08:22] Speaker B: Well, when we woke up, all I see is two like. Or I thought it was two, but I guess it was three silhouettes. Matt being way out in the road and two silhouettes behind him. I didn't know who. I just seen somebody's chasing somebody and I didn't know what was going. [00:08:39] Speaker A: He was screaming. [00:08:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Like hollering. [00:08:42] Speaker A: Bloody murder. Yeah. [00:08:43] Speaker B: I thought somebody else was fighting. I didn't know was going on. And then y' all come back up there and I reckon he just went home and went to bed. Did he not? [00:08:51] Speaker A: That might have happened. I can't remember. Yeah, we might have done that. We might have just left him up and chased him all the way home and left him. [00:08:59] Speaker B: Well, that was probably my last time I ever stayed at your house. [00:09:02] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it was. [00:09:06] Speaker B: Oh, that was wild. Yeah. [00:09:07] Speaker A: I forgot about a lot of that, though. There's a lot of details there that I couldn't remember. Oh, gosh. You got any more like that? [00:09:16] Speaker B: Oh, I've got a bunch more. Yep. Well, what about us about going to jail that night? You remember that? [00:09:22] Speaker A: Let's hold. Speaking of jail. Let's. Let's hold that, whatever that is. And let me tell you about a guy I know. [00:09:29] Speaker B: Okay. [00:09:29] Speaker A: Or I knew, used to know, used to see a lot. So we had this guy who came and started working for us. He was a mechanic. [00:09:40] Speaker B: Now when was it? [00:09:41] Speaker A: Previous mechanic. [00:09:42] Speaker B: Is this at your current. [00:09:44] Speaker A: No, not where I work now. Well, it's still. Same business, different location. Okay. Different location. Okay. [00:09:50] Speaker B: Did I know this guy? [00:09:52] Speaker A: I don't think so. I don't think you. He wouldn't have worked with you. I know, but I didn't know if. [00:09:58] Speaker B: He was in the company at the time. [00:09:59] Speaker A: No, he. So he actually came to kind of do some light mechanical mostly just change oil force. But he had been for the last 30 years. Well in and out of jail, in prison. And in that time he had been a mechanic. So he was. I mean, he knew what he was doing, you know, but as we got to know him, he got to telling us stories. Okay. And when I tell you, you know, I've watched homicide shows, First 48, whatever stories about serial killers, you know, and all those things, like, you're like, wow, you know, that's crazy. You know that you hear it. This guy's stories was like that in real life, like, you know, in your face. Yeah. So he had done it. He had. He's rough as. I mean, rough kids, but so he had. He told us one time that he was dating some girl, and this was when he was young, but he was dating some girl, you know, like an adult age, though he was dating her, and it ended up not working out where he thought they should not be together. Well, she didn't think that, and she didn't think that. He goes to work one day, he comes home to his house, and he had a chow. A dog. A chow dog. And that thing's laying in the middle of his yard, motionless. Whining though, but motionless. And he looks. And on the side of the. On the front door of his house, it says, your next mfer on the door. [00:11:31] Speaker B: Wow. [00:11:31] Speaker A: On the door. Okay. Now, how does the dog relate to that? She had cut the dog's ears off and rode it with the dog's blood. Yeah. Now, how satanic crazy is that? Good God. So he loved this dog. Loved this dog. Right. He goes around to every place, all over Knox county, in Knoxville, trying to find her and anywhere else, I guess. [00:11:56] Speaker B: Why would you want to find her? [00:11:57] Speaker A: Because he's going to kill her, pistol in his butt. Now, he. He went to jail for attempted murder or prison, so I. It's scared to go back and. No, well, no, he wasn't. He hadn't went yet. So I'm saying he would have killed at that time. He hadn't been, but he'd have killed that girl. I know he would have. He said he looked everywhere she could possibly be, in pistol in his pocket, going to shear and kill. [00:12:19] Speaker B: What happened to his dog? [00:12:20] Speaker A: He couldn't find her. Well, he shot it before he left. Went looking for her good grace. How crazy is that? Oh, so that's one of a whole lot of stories. And I ain't gonna tell all the stories this guy's got, but I'll tell another one real quick. But this is kind of person he was. And he was. You know, I hate to say he's a good guy, but, I mean, he was an all right guy. He just had some crazy past when we knew him. Anyway, so he said. So another time when he. And this was before, you know, this was. I don't know how exactly how old he was. I think he was not 18 in something like this. He said they used to walk all over the place back then in Knoxville. It was not near as crowded and populated as it is now. Not as many cars on the roads and stuff like that. Well, they didn't have no money. And he said he had a cousin one time who was going to walk, I don't know, a long way to go to somebody's house. And I think it was like his aunt's house or something, I don't know. And he said, we're just sitting around, not doing anything. And he said, you want to go with us? You know? Yeah. How you gonna get. He said, we just started walking. He said, we walked so far. And he's carrying a trash bag the whole time. The cousin is. And he thinks since he's going over, he thinks he's taking like some clothes with him or something. So he. They start walking and they walk so far. Well, they get tired. And now here's the mindset these people had. So what do they do when they get tired? They don't sit down and rest. They don't go in a store and get something to drink and, you know, take it easy. They just steal a car because they're tired of walking. So they just steal a car, take a car, and they drive this car as far as it'll go till it runs out of gas. So then they steal another car so they can keep going. [00:14:05] Speaker B: Yeah, good guy, though. [00:14:07] Speaker A: It runs out of gas. So then they start walking just through woods like, you know, like as a crow would fly, you know, in a direction to get to this house. And he gets all the way there. Now, in this short amount of time or, well, in this day long trip, I guess they had stolen two vehicles, right? So that's felony charges right there. The trash bag they've been hauling around, completely full of weed, completely packed full of pot. Didn't realize that until they got to the house. Until they got to the house. So they sit down, you know, and then like, wow. The aunt was like, you know, we'll. We'll cook you. So, you know, he's like, I want a sandwich or something. Or he's asking you, you guys want something to eat? Like, yeah. And then, you know, and they don't have cars or nothing. Well, they. And he's like, you want sandwich? Yeah, he's. We ain't got no bread. So go down to the store and steal some bread. Down the road. Here I go walking again. He said, when he. And then. So here's another one. He said back. He said, it wasn't nothing for us to steal stuff like that. He said, if we wanted steak dinner, he said, you just go to, you just walk into a supermarket. And he said, we had it planned out perfect. Four or five of us would go in, go different directions, hand stuff off to one another, stuff like that. You just go steal a bunch of steaks and go over here and steal the baby potatoes and cooking. He said, you want a new tent, you just walk in the Kmart, walk out with it. I said, mother, you're crazy, man. He's doing stuff like that. Wow. Yeah. So. Geez. [00:15:31] Speaker B: Well, yeah, that's pretty wild. I, I, that's, that's, that's from rough company right there. [00:15:36] Speaker A: I've got more on him. [00:15:37] Speaker B: That's some rough. [00:15:38] Speaker A: I got more on him. Hey. So he said, so he did go to prison. I couldn't imagine he did go to prison. So he caught his, his wife at the time he come home from work and caught her with another man, and he shot both of them with a shotgun going out the window. Shot both of them, ended up going to prison over that. I think he was in Memphis for 10 years or something, he said, while he was in that in the pen, he said they were, they would, they would get wrecked, time to go out in the yard or whatever. And he said he used to like basketball and he played basketball. So he's out in the yard on the basketball court playing, playing basketball with a bunch of people. And he said, this guy, and he, he said he was a, a black dude, he was playing basketball. And I, I don't know what. All different colors and races were mixed in here, but the guy particularly I'm talking about was a black dude that. He said he went up for a rebound. Gary did. He went up for the rebound. It's the guy I know. So he went up for the rebound, and that dude kicked his legs like that, and he said, he came down, just landed on his head, you know, and it hurt him, you know, it didn't, you know, give him a mine. I gave him a concussion, but he didn't go, you know, the hospital in there or nothing. But he, I said, golly, I said, you know, what'd you do? He said, I couldn't do nothing. He said, I'm playing basketball with, you know, all of his buddies and stuff. He said, they'd have Just jumped me and stomped me, he said, but he said, I got him back. I got him back. I said, I can't wait to hear what you did, you know? Hey. So he. He was in laundry. He had laundry detail. So he said, I'm down. And. And that guy did, too, you know, so he knew who he was from being doing laundry so long out of a day, you know, they made him do jobs or whatever. He said, I'm standing in there, and as soon as the guard gets out of there, he said, I'm ironing. He said, and as soon as a guard gets out of there and he had dreads, the dude did. He said, that guard goes out, he said, I turned around, he's right behind me. I turned around and I grabbed him by his dreads and I stuck a hard iron in his back, and I just held it there like. Yeah, so that's what I'm saying. Just nuts, man. This is one person that I met, you know, crazy stories, and there's more. There are more, but I'm not going to tell them on this show. I'll tell you that right now. Not gonna tell him on the show. [00:18:07] Speaker B: So that's a lifestyle, that's for sure. That's. That's a different. A different atmosphere. Yeah. [00:18:13] Speaker A: He said, so back to growing up poor, you know, he said that when he was young, he had a really bad car wreck, too. And somewhere in the midst of all this, he had a terrible car wreck back when roads are still gravel in Knoxville, and he's flying down this road and he met a car and it's curvy and stuff, I guess. Well, he leaves the road in the. In the truck because he's flying. He said it should have killed him 10 times, you know, Broke him up all over the place. He had no insurance or nothing like that. Couldn't afford any kind of drugs and pain pills and whatnot. But his aunt worked at UT Hospital, I think, or one of the hospitals or something, and she would bring home morphine to him for. I mean, Ali had like, broken ribs, legs, arms, neck. Whatever's wrong with him, I get it. [00:19:05] Speaker B: But I'm like, so. [00:19:06] Speaker A: But he couldn't get it legally, so she would sneak it and bring it home to him. He said he would give himself morphine shots in his tongue himself. [00:19:16] Speaker B: Wow. Yeah. [00:19:19] Speaker A: Different than we live, that's for sure. We didn't grow up doing none of that crazy stuff. [00:19:23] Speaker B: Oh, golly. [00:19:24] Speaker A: So you. You go ahead with one now, and let's. We'll get back. [00:19:28] Speaker B: I ain't going to top none of them. [00:19:30] Speaker A: So. Well, we just talk about us then. [00:19:33] Speaker B: Oh well, I. I think. Think I've got a few. You know that. That one of my personal. Which you. You wouldn't. I hadn't even told many people about this. I may have told you so when I had. I had a. [00:19:47] Speaker A: Everybody's going to know now. [00:19:48] Speaker B: That's fine. I want her. That's fine. [00:19:49] Speaker A: Okay. [00:19:51] Speaker B: So I mean there's a few people that know. I mean but I just haven't broadcasted it. So anyways, remember that old Porsche I used to have? [00:19:58] Speaker A: 944Porsche I had the one we. The gold one changed transmission on in your dad's garage. [00:20:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:06] Speaker B: Well you wasn't with me that night so I blew the clutch out of it. [00:20:09] Speaker A: Oh, that was right. We were putting a clutch in it, wasn't we? [00:20:11] Speaker B: Well, I blew the transmission out too. I've done both of. I blew the clutch and the transmission out. [00:20:16] Speaker A: I remember moral support. Whatever night that was Matt's dad was offering his moral support. [00:20:22] Speaker B: No, that was my uncle. [00:20:24] Speaker A: Oh, it was your uncle. That's right. [00:20:25] Speaker B: I don't remember nothing of you. He don't remember nothing. So anyway, yeah, I was my old uncle. So we. That I don't know but y' all wasn't there. I finished putting the clutch in the Porsche. I want to go test drive it. Alright, I'm going to go test drive it. So I get it out of the garage down there where we worked on everything and I go out through there and go start going through the gears. I'm going down my road out through there and I go across major the intersection there at sticky in 72. Go across heading towards Sticky School. [00:21:07] Speaker A: Go. [00:21:08] Speaker B: Heading towards Sticky School. Go down there almost to where road Y is at right there. Turn around. I can't remember the guy's name. Turned around out here in his driveway and I go back across and I thought I'm gonna see if the clutch holds up really good. So I go out through there and I rev the car up. I mean I just put a brand new clutch. This is not how you see the clutch in anyways. And I go in there and I rev it up and I peel out all the way. Two black marks right across for 72. Right across 72 I go. [00:21:37] Speaker A: Which way are you headed now? [00:21:39] Speaker B: I'm going back towards my house. Okay, I'm going back towards my house now. I've just turned around back towards my house. Go across 72 and I rip around the curve and I get up on top of the hill. And I look to my left and I see blue lights. [00:21:55] Speaker A: I see blue lights like down at the gas station. [00:21:56] Speaker B: The gas station. Because they sit down there. I didn't think anything about it though. They sit down there all the time. And this was like 2000. [00:22:03] Speaker A: I think I remember this story. I think you did. [00:22:05] Speaker B: Tell me 2007 or 2008. [00:22:08] Speaker A: Okay. [00:22:09] Speaker B: Maybe somewhere in there. Yeah, that's when I had that car. [00:22:12] Speaker A: And. [00:22:13] Speaker B: And I thought, oh gosh. And this is when they had Crown Vicks. And that car, that Porsche was not that fast. It did handle well, but it wasn't that fast. It's just a four cylinder. Yeah, but. And I thought, oh gosh, you know, two of them, back to back. Here they go. So I'm like, I've got them. I've got them by half a mile. And I can out drive. I think I can out. You know, thinking back then I could out drive the cops. Whether I could or I couldn't, I don't know. [00:22:38] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:22:39] Speaker B: So I take off hard as I can. [00:22:41] Speaker A: Go. [00:22:41] Speaker B: Go past Ollie's house. Yeah. Ripping down through there and I run. There's a hill right there. Before it gets down to the stop sign. Stop sign. I don't ever let up. I mean I probably took that right. Probably 40 miles an hour. [00:22:57] Speaker A: Shouldn't take it more than 10. If you. You're supposed to stop, you should stop. [00:23:01] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. So I hang. Hang to the right, take off past the. The. [00:23:06] Speaker A: And the cops fly by your house, don't they? Yeah, yeah, I remember this story. [00:23:09] Speaker B: But you're a long time ago. [00:23:10] Speaker A: How do I remember this and I don't remember things that happened to me? [00:23:13] Speaker B: I don't know the crap. So I go ripping down through there on. On Vonor and. And go ripping down through there on Von Ore Road. And they had that new bed and breakfast for dogs. The kennel. The kennel on the right. Or the white picket fence. [00:23:28] Speaker A: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:23:29] Speaker B: Going towards Valley View. Go ripping down through there. And about the time I'm up to Valley View, I look back and they're coming across the hill. [00:23:37] Speaker A: Oh, I've got a guy that you just. [00:23:39] Speaker B: Yeah, that I just come across and shot across. So they're coming across those hills and I see them and I never let up. I'm ripping. I mean I'm flying out through there. I go across. I'm probably running 100, 110 out through there. And I'm just dumb. Looking back as super stupid. There's a Big hard left right there at the church. And I flip my lights off to see if anything's coming around the curve because I'm running 110 miles an hour. 100. 110. And I go to the inside. So I go into the suicide lane, hard as I can. I turn my lights off, make sure there wasn't nothing coming back towards me. Yeah, so I'm glad that person wasn't doing the same thing on the other side. I'd been dead today. But anyways, I go rip around that curve. And I get all the way to my driveway. And I don't see them yet, but I turn my lights off, and right there in front of my mom and dad's house, I cram on the brakes, don't lock them up, but I mean to the point to where they're almost locked up. And I go, you know, screeching and, you know, my mom's driveway's got. Yeah, mom and dad's driveway's got in and an out. And I go in the out. I jump through the out. I slam on the brakes, I dip behind the house really quick, shut the car off. And I'm just sitting there. I'm just shaking. I'm just. I mean, my adrenaline's pumping. And I get out of the car and I see. I look off in the field over there and I see. I see a rip, like a remnants of blue lights. I don't see the cars and I hear sirens and I. But I see blue lights coming. So I walk around besides mom and dad's house right there next to the H vac unit. And I just stand there. And then both of them just go rip them by the house. And at this point I'm like, oh, my gosh. You know, I mean, I'm still. I'm just shaking. [00:25:20] Speaker A: You've done it. Yeah. [00:25:21] Speaker B: I walk in the door at my house. My mom meets me at the front door. Was they after you? No. No. I don't know what are you talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. [00:25:32] Speaker A: You lied to your mama. You lied to your mama. [00:25:35] Speaker B: She said. She said, ah, yes, they was. And I said, no, they wasn't. I don't. I don't know. They. I don't have any idea. She said, I seen you. I was in the kitchen window when you come in, you know, so she was in the window looking outside when I come blowing into the house, you know, she said, I'm calling them. I'm calling them. [00:25:51] Speaker A: I was fixing to say, my mama be like, well, we'll just find out if they're looking for you, you know. [00:25:55] Speaker B: She said, I'm calling them, I'm calling them. I said, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't do that. She said, so it was you? I said, no, but don't call them, don't call them. [00:26:02] Speaker A: It wasn't me. [00:26:03] Speaker B: She knew it was me. And that was a lot. That was a lesson that, you know, she, she said, she said, you ever do anything? Like, I don't think I ever. Well, I didn't. I never run from the cops again. But I did. I did. Of course, still after that, I still. Dumb, dumb stuff. But I did not run from the cops anymore. [00:26:24] Speaker A: So I ran from the cops once. I don't know if I've told you. [00:26:28] Speaker B: I did not know that. What in the world did you have that you run from the cops? [00:26:31] Speaker A: I was in my F250. [00:26:33] Speaker B: Oh, okay, okay, okay. I could get that. [00:26:35] Speaker A: So me and Chase had got off work. When we worked at L City, we were headed home. Used to the. There would be. If you pass Sugar Limb, headed towards Loudon, there would be two undercover cops under the bridge. Under the bridge right there. Oh, yeah. Always used to be there. [00:26:53] Speaker B: Always. [00:26:54] Speaker A: I think black and white Dodge Chargers, unmarked. Well, later I found out that those were drug cars, like drug traffic cars. That's, that's all they were doing there. They wasn't even after people speeding or nothing else. Of course, somebody blows by you 100 mile an hour, they're probably going to pull you over. [00:27:16] Speaker B: They have that right. [00:27:16] Speaker A: So we were, we were headed home one day and back then, so everybody knows we had. Well, you didn't. But some of us had souped up diesel trucks and. [00:27:30] Speaker B: Well, I had a. I had a fast truck. [00:27:32] Speaker A: Blew all kinds of black, smoked and acted stupid and loud, you know. So anyway, we're headed home one day. [00:27:37] Speaker B: And we love need for speed. [00:27:40] Speaker A: Chase had a dodge. [00:27:43] Speaker B: It was a 06. Yeah. [00:27:47] Speaker A: Crew cab, Dodge truck. Yeah, I had, I have, I have still an F257.3 truck. And then there was another. It's a Chevrolet or a Dodge on the way home or something. Now when I said, when I was young and dumb, I was. I put a bunch of money into that truck. A bunch. I did a lot of things a lot of people wouldn't do on them trucks. It wasn't just programmed, so I had all kinds of other money into it. So it's faster than. Well, more powerful than most of them or than any of them around here, unless you Sunk. Unless you were dumber than me, you know, you didn't have one faster than me. Not the same kinds. [00:28:27] Speaker B: Absolutely. [00:28:28] Speaker A: So, anyway, we're headed home, and me and him are just driving home like we do every day. And here comes this Dodge truck, you know, pulls up beside us, you know, and he's doing all this crap. And we're. We're coming up. We're kind of on that straightaway where it kind of goes downhill back over here. And then Sugar Limb exits. Okay? We go down through there, and we're moving. I don't know how fast we're going. My truck stopped at 100. I don't know. I don't know how fast we're going, but we're going pretty fast down through there. And Chase is in front of me. That Dodge truck's here. You know, we're just tearing down through there. And I remember Chase telling me, I'm gonna let Bo have him. And he used to always get off at Sugar Lamp. And I go on loud. Well, he exits, right? So I just. You know, I just put it to the floor, and I get up there beside this guy, and we hit that hill where it starts back downhill, and you can see, you know, And I had a feeling, like, every day, you know, I was so stupid, even think maybe they're not there, you know, But I had a feeling, and I. [00:29:39] Speaker B: The. [00:29:39] Speaker A: I was looking. I don't know what tag this guy had or, you know, if he was local or anything else. I can't remember that. But we top that hill, and I can't remember what we were. If I was, like, at 100 or 95 or way over the speed limit back then. It was 65 through there, I think. But we're going way too dang fast. And if they seen me speeding, if they was to pull a radar out, which they probably knew what we were doing anyway. But if they was to have. I don't feel like it was hot back then. [00:30:10] Speaker B: Diesel. That was a. It was a thing back then. [00:30:13] Speaker A: I don't feel like they would have seen me going more than maybe 90 or 85 or something, because when we topped that hill, and I could just catch a glimpse because I was looking, right? I saw him, and we were in it, you know, gaining speed. And I let off. I lifted as soon as I seen him. And he didn't. [00:30:38] Speaker B: Oh, shoot. [00:30:39] Speaker A: Yeah, he didn't. So when I let off, you know, we're coming down that hill this way, and the bridge is over here. So they're sitting there, they see Just two noses, two trucks coming. And as soon as I seen him, I lift and he immediately jumps me. So when he does that, he's blocking me then, man, I laid on my braids, just, you know, I stood on them things and just nose dived, you know, and probably went from 95 to 85 real quick, you know. And he jumps out in front of me a long way, you know. And then when he does that, you know, of course I'm just getting back in at cruising again. M lights come on, both of them cars, blue lights, their headlights kick on and they start easing through the dirt and the grass and you know. Yeah, they're having to come, come across that, right? So this dude, and he, he's not in front of me, he's just out this way in front of me. He's not in my lane, right? I don't, I act like nothing's going on. I just right on by him, he's all over his brakes, you know, and at that time I pass him, right, Because I, I'm trying to act like I wasn't. Yeah, I'm trying to act like I wasn't doing nothing, right? So I look and I, I mean I go right on past the bridge and I just keep going. And I look in my rearview mirror and he's pulling over on the side of the road and they're trying to get pulled out in traffic. And I waited until I just got to the top of the hill and they faded out in my mirror where I couldn't see them. And the moment I got on that flat side, on the other side, back to the floor I went, cuz I couldn't get on it up through there, they'd see a bunch of black smoke, know I'm running, right? So I just hammered down, down. I ran as fast as that truck would go to Loudon, I did. I mean I flew. Now when I got off, I didn't go to the house like I normally do. I went right, took Jim Dyke Road, wound way back through there, came out in Philadelphia and then went home and I never done it again. Never done it again. Now I got pulled over, but I didn't run. But that's the. I ran that night or that day pretty good. I ran that day. But that's my running stuff. Well, we talking about now, my brother, my brother, he ran a ton on box. [00:32:54] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm sure. [00:32:55] Speaker A: Hey, I remember when he. So he ran home or ran, ran from the cops coming home, he pulled over across from the Chapman's house in there And. And he was in a. He had a Toyota Tacoma, four cylinder. I. I remember the story. Brad and Brad, yeah, I know who you're talking about. Okay. He arrested him. But when they arrested him, they said my brother was hollering, he had cuffs behind him. What that thing got in it? I got a four cylinder. You couldn't even catch me. You know? [00:33:26] Speaker B: That is your brother. [00:33:27] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I watched the cops pull him over one night. I was at my house, where I live now and I'm staying. I probably didn't tell you this story. I may have, but this is probably a good time span when you're opening this store and busy and I'm busy working. So we wasn't talking at all. [00:33:45] Speaker B: So it was. Okay. Okay. [00:33:47] Speaker A: Our busier lives, we were. I was at the house and I'm just, I don't know, carrying in groceries. It's like the middle of the day. It's like 2 o' clock in the afternoon. And it's just a day. I'm off work and at home. I can't remember if I just got home or what, but I'm in my carport and I hear, you know, just a crotch rocket. I mean, giving it. Somebody giving it everything they got just, you know, far away. And you can hear loud vehicles and stuff like that down Fort Creek when they're coming. And I went, you know, I stopped and I went, my gosh, man, somebody is on it. Somebody's giving it heck, you know, and then I hear. Well, not, not then. You can hear them a long way off, you know, But I'm like, my gosh, whoever that is is absolutely flying, you know? And for some reason, I never imagined it would be my brother. I don't know why I was gonna. [00:34:43] Speaker B: Say why do you know? [00:34:44] Speaker A: I don't know why, but I didn't. By the way, my brother, unfortunately, flying down the interstate at night in a. [00:34:52] Speaker B: That's very sad. [00:34:53] Speaker A: In a convertible Camaro with his kids. Now, his kids didn't, but he did. But anyway, so he. I don't know if he was. Just. Didn't have a conscience or what, but he rode around like he did and he thought he was invincible. But so he. Anyway, I'm standing there and I'm. So I stop and I kind of listen because I heard sirens. I'm like, huh, Somebody might be running, you know, it's kind of what I thought. Well, sure enough, it kind of gets louder and. Because when you come off of Fort Creek on. On the callway, it gets quiet when they get down There in that hole. But when you come back up to the top of the hill before you come down to my house, it gets a whole lot louder coming up that hill, you know, so I'm sitting there listening. Kind of got quiet again, quieter, and I can still hear it. But then it got real loud coming up that hill. And I'm like, okay, well, if it's coming down this road, you know, and I. To this day. And I kid you not, I kid you not, he comes by on this bike. I mean, I'm sitting there and it's just, you know, you know, flies by the house. I mean, I don't know how fast he could have been going, but here's how. [00:36:04] Speaker B: So how did you know it was him? [00:36:07] Speaker A: He goes up and he turns in my mom's driveway, shuts the bike off and puts kickstand up and gets off of it. [00:36:12] Speaker B: Oh, he's coming. Calloway from Philadelphia. [00:36:15] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, Philadelphia. So he pulls, he goes past our house. Just, I mean, all he's got. All he's got. I mean, well, to me, all. I would have a whole lot more than I do. Anyway, he. He just, you know, and when he passes my house, he just, you know, gearing down and he turns into the house, into my mom's driveway. I don't know, 30ft, 20ft. Stops, shuts it off, puts kickstand down, gets off and he stands there with his helmet on. You know, his mentality is, I'm on my own property. That's what he's thinking. That's what he's thinking. So I see him go by like, my gosh, that's my brother. You know, when he pulls in up there and then I hear the sirens coming. That guy in the cop car, I don't know who it was, was going so fast that when he passed me, I couldn't hear the sirens. [00:37:04] Speaker B: Golly. [00:37:05] Speaker A: It was like, you know, I could hear woo coming and it was like, you know, when he went by me, I mean, flying like, I've never seen a car go by there that fast. [00:37:15] Speaker B: Gosh. [00:37:15] Speaker A: And I mean, he was flying. He pulled in there, jerked my bro. Maybe my brother's still sitting on the bike, but jerked him off of it and put him in handcuffs and. And all that. So I. That's two times. And I think he got. I think they let him go, I'm pretty sure, because I think another cop car came. I was just like looking up there. I went in the house, like, whatever, man. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So that's. That's his And I remember. [00:37:41] Speaker B: You remember when me and you were street racing? Yeah. [00:37:44] Speaker A: We got caught that night. We. [00:37:47] Speaker B: We got caught. [00:37:48] Speaker A: We didn't run. [00:37:49] Speaker B: We did get caught. [00:37:50] Speaker A: There wasn't no running from that. Well, I. [00:37:52] Speaker B: You don't know how close I was, man. [00:37:54] Speaker A: You said that. [00:37:55] Speaker B: I mean, I was within a. I mean, a fraction of running. [00:37:59] Speaker A: You know, they wouldn't have just sat there with me. Well, there was two of them. [00:38:03] Speaker B: No, they were, you know, and they were troopers. One of them was a trooper. One of them was a county. Absolutely was. [00:38:08] Speaker A: No, it wasn't. [00:38:09] Speaker B: Yes, it. [00:38:10] Speaker A: It wasn't. [00:38:10] Speaker B: Yes, it was. [00:38:10] Speaker A: No, it wasn't. [00:38:11] Speaker B: I promise you, it wasn't either one. It was one county and one trooper. It was. [00:38:16] Speaker A: It was a county cop. And then one in a black unmarked. Yep. [00:38:20] Speaker B: Trooper is the one that actually called us in. He told us that. He told us that they were sitting up underneath the bridge. [00:38:27] Speaker A: No, I worried about that. It was the Mexicans that lived in the. That lived in the. Down at the mailbox because Billy threw gravel on the house. [00:38:34] Speaker B: But what he told us was. Yeah, I do remember that. [00:38:37] Speaker A: Yeah, that's why. That's what got the call in. Because the unmarked guy was our customer. [00:38:42] Speaker B: He told us. He told us that the trooper didn't want to come up and deal with us because he would take us to jail. The trooper came. That's what the county guys told us. That's what he told us. He said. He said. He said, if the. [00:38:56] Speaker A: Who am I to argue with you? I don't remember nothing. Remember. [00:38:59] Speaker B: You don't remember much. I remember this because I'm like, well, I'm really glad that. [00:39:04] Speaker A: Well, tell the story. Tell a story. Tell a story. [00:39:05] Speaker B: So anyways, we in. In. In. Down in Loudoun, we used to have this spot called the mailbox. Everybody knows the mail. Most everybody that has anything to do with racing or a fast vehicle. You know where the mailbox is at and. And Bo's got a fast truck. And I had a. It was just a S10 little work to it. Nothing much. But anyway, everybody go down there and run their trucks and see what speed you could get going across the mailbox. [00:39:32] Speaker A: Yeah, or race to the mailbox. [00:39:34] Speaker B: Race to the mailbox. Yeah, absolutely. But everybody. Everybody knew their speed. What you could get to the mailbox. That was the thing. Like, if you go run down by yourself, you could see how fast you'd get to the mailbox and you'd go across this bridge, the interstate bridge, and the interstate bridge and take off as soon as your tires Hit the bridge, you take off and go to the mailbox. And everybody would stand down at. Was it a barn? Mm, there's the barn down there on the, the right side of it. [00:40:01] Speaker A: It's like a house and a barn. [00:40:03] Speaker B: And even looking back at that today, I think about that, I'm like we used to just stand right there on the side of the road from, from, from, from here to the, to the camera and, and watch a car go by us at 120 miles an hour like it was nothing. Today I'd be, I'd be like, I'm getting back. [00:40:20] Speaker A: Yeah, I would too. Yeah, we were so dumb, man. [00:40:23] Speaker B: But anyways, so I think I'd aggravated you a bunch anyways about us racing. Oh yeah, I'd always. My little S10. I probably outrun you, yada yada. So anyways, we had already made I don't know how many three or four pulls. [00:40:37] Speaker A: I think not even last. I probably don't remember. No. So here's what I think happened. [00:40:42] Speaker B: We'd already made a couple pulls before. [00:40:44] Speaker A: You correct me and I'll tell my version of the beginning of that story. Okay, so you would, if you, if you was coming from the mailbox way, you would cross the, the bridge back and there was a road on your right. As soon as you would go across, turn around right there. Well, most everybody's down there racing diesel trucks. Well, you could either turn around there if you wanted to. Usually though, that wasn't like for me that wasn't close enough because we would roll from like a 25 mile an hour roll or something. So I wanted more, you know, I need, I had straight shifts so I wanted to shift gears and get kind of ready to launch and boost and all that stuff. So you could either turn right, right there and turn, just back up, turn around and then. But then you had to get going quick or you going up a little ways and turn around at this little concrete spot that was cut out where the fence was. And that's usually where I always turned around if I was down there doing something because I was always afraid cops would sit there because it's dark, there's no street lights, it's real, it's back roads. So I would always turn around there. So we go across. One time I go up there and turn around. Matt turns around on that road right there and here we go, take off. And I think the first time we took off like you didn't have your chip on or something, I can't remember. So we, so we ran again. So we go back, do the same thing again. This time I miss a gear, which is that. [00:42:02] Speaker B: You know, that was really dumb of me because I thought that chip done something, but it really didn't do anything. And looking back at it now, there was nothing really it could do except maybe change my shift points to another 200 RPMs. I mean, it was really nothing, you know. I mean, it wasn't anything. [00:42:17] Speaker A: Well, I didn't know. [00:42:17] Speaker B: Yeah, well, but you. [00:42:19] Speaker A: But you said. I think you said I didn't have my chip. [00:42:21] Speaker B: It may have been something like that. [00:42:22] Speaker A: Well, so we said, all right, well, let's go again. Well, the next time I miss a gear, you know, and it's real easy to tell when that happens. So here we go. We turn around again. Well, now at this point, we've ran twice at least, and you may be right. Maybe we've done more time. [00:42:36] Speaker B: We've done it two or three times regardless. [00:42:38] Speaker A: So the next time I'm worried, like, I'm like, okay, I know. Troopers, sit down there. [00:42:45] Speaker B: You know, that was never even a. [00:42:47] Speaker A: Thought in my mind. [00:42:47] Speaker B: Well, I never even thought about it. [00:42:49] Speaker A: So on up the road, past that. [00:42:50] Speaker B: Concrete pool, we had people sitting down there. We had one guy sitting on the road, but he wasn't. He didn't like, he did. Wasn't. It wasn't a cop. It was somebody. Somebody actually with a lot down there that was telling us if a car was coming. [00:43:04] Speaker A: No, you can't see over the bridge. [00:43:06] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm talking about. I'm talking about on the other end where we was turning around at. There was a guy down there that was sitting in the car where we would turn right at. He was sitting right there, supposedly watching for us. [00:43:19] Speaker A: Okay, well. Well, they didn't come that way anyway. [00:43:22] Speaker B: I know that. [00:43:22] Speaker A: So it didn't matter. So. Because I was scared of. Dang. They're probably, you know, working on coming up there from the interstate, you know, I'm like, we can't be here much longer. You know, what if they're hanging out? There's a substation on up the road, like on up further. And then from there there's nowhere else except driveways and other roads and stuff. So I went on up there because I'm like, they could be sitting up there with their lights off, watching, you know what I mean? So I went all the way up through there, my lights shining. I had hids, so they're bright, you know, and I don't see nothing. I turn around way up there and I'm like, all right, let's go again, you know, and we get up there and we do our. We do our roll. We're rolling together. We hit the bridge and we launch. We take off. We let off the brakes, and I. I don't remember if I made it to my next gear or if I was between them. [00:44:13] Speaker B: We were. We were about 50ish is what we were running 40 to 50 miles an hour somewhere right in there. [00:44:20] Speaker A: We had just. We had just lost. [00:44:21] Speaker B: We just hit. I know. [00:44:22] Speaker A: We just hit. [00:44:23] Speaker B: And then immediately, blue light everywhere. [00:44:27] Speaker A: Everywhere. I mean, behind us. [00:44:29] Speaker B: Did you ever see. I remember because I think I pulled. Did I pull in front of you? [00:44:34] Speaker A: You pulled in front of me and tried to get out. [00:44:36] Speaker B: Well, I know, but I'm scared to death. That's the first time I've ever been pulled over. [00:44:40] Speaker A: I knew better than that. [00:44:41] Speaker B: And the only time I've ever been pulled over. [00:44:43] Speaker A: I knew better than that. [00:44:44] Speaker B: That's the first and only time I've ever been pulled over. Well, but. Yes. I. I just wasn't thinking. I don't know. I just. I was going to get out. He said, get back in your car. [00:44:52] Speaker A: I was like, all right. Yeah. I'm sitting there going. I said, no, what are you doing? You know, when you get out, he's like, get in the car. Get back in your car. I'm like, you freaking idiot. [00:45:00] Speaker B: Well, see, I had. I had already contemplated that I was going to run. [00:45:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:05] Speaker B: So I was already on a different level. You know, I mean, there's a big, long straightaway. [00:45:10] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:45:11] Speaker B: I mean, that straightaway is long. But I. If I was. This is. This is terrible to say, but if I was in a familiar area. I had no idea, like, past that mailbox. I had no idea. I knew back that way, but I didn't know past that mailbox. Had no idea where to go. Where we gonna come out at? I would have run if I would have been more familiar. I just would. I just. I would have. [00:45:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:30] Speaker B: I'm not gonna lie. At. But. But was super nice. [00:45:37] Speaker A: Blue lights everywhere. The first thought in my mind. [00:45:40] Speaker B: Well, I thought I was going to jail immediately. [00:45:42] Speaker A: Well, the first thought in my mind is I'm in the store. I knew I was in big trouble because this is a state trooper. It's what I thought. And it was not. It was. Here's my version. [00:45:51] Speaker B: Okay. Okay, go ahead. [00:45:52] Speaker A: It was. I could tell you. I can see his face right now. I know exactly who he was. [00:45:56] Speaker B: They told us that we were sitting under. They told Us. We were sitting under the bridge is. [00:46:00] Speaker A: What he told us the troopers were. And they didn't want to fool with us. [00:46:03] Speaker B: They didn't want to come. [00:46:04] Speaker A: Okay. [00:46:05] Speaker B: So they radioed county to come fool with us because. [00:46:07] Speaker A: So. But we. But we both agree now that there wasn't state troopers that pulled us over. They had called in. [00:46:12] Speaker B: They had called us. [00:46:13] Speaker A: Okay, fair enough. Yeah, that's right. [00:46:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:46:15] Speaker A: So. But it was an unmarked drug car who was doing drug surveillance on some kind of drug house in Philadelphia that got the call. So they were pissed off at us because they had to bust up their operation to come out and deal with a bunch of kids acting stupid. So. But they. They pull up, blue lights everywhere. We pull over, Matt pulls in front of me. He gets out of the truck like a dummy, and they're like, get back in. So you get back in. And they came up, and they got our driver's license and got us out of the car and put us behind the squad car and made us put our hands behind our backs and all that stuff. [00:46:49] Speaker B: They didn't cuff us or nothing. [00:46:51] Speaker A: I remember. Yeah, but we had to stand there with a camera. [00:46:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:46:53] Speaker A: They said, put your hands back. And I remember standing there like, man, I can't even talk with all these lights in my face. Just what I'm thinking. [00:47:00] Speaker B: I just. I thought he was going to jail. Well, see here again, I'm 18 years old. I'm not a juvenile. [00:47:06] Speaker A: Yeah, you're 18. And he mentions that. [00:47:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. I know he does. [00:47:09] Speaker A: Yeah. But. [00:47:10] Speaker B: Yeah, he told his exact. I can remember just as plain as that. [00:47:13] Speaker A: I can, too. [00:47:14] Speaker B: He said. And he called us. He got our driver's license and everything. I don't even think he got our insurance. [00:47:19] Speaker A: No, he did. He just got our driver's license. And he said, he looks at the cars. He's got us both behind the squad. They finally raise a trunk. When they raise a trunk, we can all. You know, I can breathe again. Like, those lights are just killing me. You put me in a room, turn them lights on, and I'm gonna. It was awful. But they flipped that trunk up. And I remember, like. You know, it was like. And then just. You could see. And I was like, oh, thank God, you know, and he. And he got our license. [00:47:45] Speaker B: He ready. He radioed us in and gave him all the information and everything. I thought, oh, my gosh. And I thought, I'm going to jail, because I. I'm pretty sure I was in the suicide lane then, right? [00:47:55] Speaker A: He was. [00:47:56] Speaker B: I was in the suicide. I Was in the suicide lane. And I'm like, dude, I'm. I'm in suicide. I'm like, the worst possible case right now. It's happening to me. And so he give us. Gave us our life. We gave him his license. And he radios and we were clear. They said, there's no history. There's nothing, you know, nothing ever. We've never done nothing. And I could tell, like, it went. His face went from like, serious to like, okay, they're just out here having. It was just like this. I could see his whole demeanor just changed. Went from like, I'm really pissed to like, okay, these dudes are just out here having fun. And. And they've got caught. They've never. We've not even been pulled over ever. You know, we got a clean record. And I remember him telling me, he said. He said. He said, I think he called you Mr. Bradshaw, I believe. But anyways, it doesn't matter. He said, Mr. Bradshaw, he said you'd go down to juvenile juvie. [00:48:50] Speaker A: Yeah, I was 17. [00:48:52] Speaker B: And he said, Mr. Russell, he said you'd go to jail and you're going to lose your license and you're not going to drive till you're 21. I thought, oh, God, yeah. [00:49:00] Speaker A: Oh, impound the trucks to haul the trucks off. [00:49:03] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. I was like, oh, my gosh. You know, And I was. I was in a bad way. And then still in my mind, I'm like, I should have ran. I just should have ran. I'd have figured it out. That's what I'm thinking. [00:49:15] Speaker A: The whole time I remember. I remember what he said to me was. Or what he said to us and me. But he looked at me and he goes, why do I know you? Have I've dealt with you before? Is what he said. Have I pulled you over before? Have I dealt with you before? And I said, no, sir. No, sir, you haven't. I've never been pulled over before. And he said, why do I know you then? You know, have I dealt with something with you before? I said, no, sir. I said, I just put tires on this car. It worked out for you when you came to pick it up, I was in the office, you know, he said, you work for them. I said, yeah. He said, well, okay, you know, and that. And you wasn't working there at the time, or if you was, you wasn't at that store. Regardless, I was not. [00:49:56] Speaker B: Why. I was at the cabinet shop, so. [00:49:58] Speaker A: But yeah, I said, no, sir, I just put tires on this car for you. You know. How. How they doing you or whatever. And I think. I think that maybe he already had his mind made up. He's going to let us go. But I think that helped. [00:50:08] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, I'm sure. Absolutely. [00:50:10] Speaker A: I'm sure, you know. And he said, do you work for it? Yeah, blah, blah, blah. He goes, well, what. What are you boys doing? I was like, just being stupid. There's no excuse. We're just being stupid. He goes, yeah, y' all are. He goes, I'm down here in Philadelphia trying to bust the drug house, you know, and you. I'm getting a call that gravel's getting sung on a house, and I'm down here dealing with you two. You know, I'm trying to do real stuff down here, and I gotta come deal with you guys. That's why he was mad. And then he goes, do y' all not know what you're doing? He said, you're supposed to have a cop up the road or a guy up the road down there, a guy down the road down there saying, all right, the coast is clear, or, here comes the GD and cops, you know, I remember him saying that. [00:50:45] Speaker B: Do you remember? [00:50:46] Speaker A: And I knew when he said that, I'm like, I'm getting out of this, you know, I'm going to get out of it. [00:50:52] Speaker B: Yeah, but that was the breaking point. When he said that, he was like. He was like, you guys are stupid. You need to do it. He said, have somebody down here and. Have somebody down here, and you have walkie talkies or something that indicates that everything's okay, you know? And I remember him saying. And do you remember him, like, ragging your truck? Do you remember him ragging your truck? [00:51:12] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:51:14] Speaker B: He said, why is that little S10 all over you? You know, he was aggravating you. And then it kind of made me, back then, offended me, like, well, I've. [00:51:23] Speaker A: Got a fast truck. [00:51:24] Speaker B: You know what I mean? And he's like, that little S10 is all up your butt, because you could outrun me. And he's like, that little S10 is all up your butt. And I was like. And I mentioned. I was like, well, you want to run? Or something like that. And he's like, that thing would blow your doors off. And I was like, I don't think. You know, this is when he had. His demeanor had changed. [00:51:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:43] Speaker B: And looking back, I was like, God, what an idiot. I was. [00:51:46] Speaker A: Yeah. He's like. He's like, y'. [00:51:47] Speaker B: All. [00:51:48] Speaker A: You remember looking down. I remember looking down over there. [00:51:51] Speaker B: A bunch of ants. [00:51:52] Speaker A: Yes. Yes. All of our buddies down there and two or three trucks. [00:51:56] Speaker B: All our buddies just. [00:51:57] Speaker A: They're literally jumping in, diving in the beds of trucks. [00:52:00] Speaker B: Everybody's. [00:52:01] Speaker A: And the lights are coming on, trucks are pulling. [00:52:03] Speaker B: One of the cops went back down there. One of the cops went around and went down there to go talk to everybody and telling everybody. Because I remember Dustin. Dustin and Bill and everybody was down there and they were like. They were like, you guys, you go to jail too, but for just being an association. [00:52:19] Speaker A: Dictators. [00:52:19] Speaker B: Yeah, you're being association with their legal drag race. And everybody got a little less. And there's a few of them that actually left. [00:52:26] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, the haglers gone. Them boys were gone. Yeah, they just left us. They left me and Matt for the wolves. But did you. So I've heard since then, and I don't know if this is true or not, but supposedly for like a drag racing crime to hold up in court, the police are actually supposed to have like some witness, whether it's the officer or somebody. You actually have to see someone at the start and finish line, like, you know, flagging and, you know, supposedly for it to hold up in court. That's what I was told. I don't know if that's a fact, because War got the same thing happened to him up in Bowling Green and they took his license. So I. I don't think anybody's out there, like, you know, so I don't know. Maybe that's not true. But I heard that. [00:53:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I. I don't know. [00:53:15] Speaker A: Yeah, luckily we got lucky that night. [00:53:17] Speaker B: We did. We did. They let us off and told us how dumb we was and how to do it. He said, if you guys are going to do it, this is how you. [00:53:25] Speaker A: Need to do it. [00:53:26] Speaker B: So that was really nice. [00:53:27] Speaker A: I don't think that I might have went down there one more time. I don't think that broke me, you know, now. I did. [00:53:34] Speaker B: I did. Now out. Going out towards. [00:53:38] Speaker A: No, I know I went back because that was way early on, Char. [00:53:40] Speaker B: I went. [00:53:41] Speaker A: I know I went back. [00:53:42] Speaker B: What's. So what's the road out towards Charlie Halls? Big old long straight out past. Yeah, I was. That used to be the one to go. Oh, yeah, there you go. That used to be the one to go to after all that happened. [00:53:52] Speaker A: Well, you just go behind McDonald's. That's where everybody used to go. [00:53:55] Speaker B: Yeah, that didn't last long. [00:53:56] Speaker A: Yeah. That was so stupid, people going back. I'm like, why are y' all doing it there? But what it was was people who lived in like anybody who wasn't associated with Diesel Den back then. You know, maybe you get some out there. We like. We did. We used to get some of them out there to run with us. But if you wanted to race somebody didn't really have any kind of. If you wasn't called out down there to go race or something, you'd go back there. That's where Chase broke his truck so bad and he never did it again, I don't think. [00:54:24] Speaker B: Yeah, that was a terrible spot back there. I went back there and I can't remember what. I run something back there one time and I thought, this is too tight back here. Oh, I know who I did. Keller. Keller and his 24 valve. [00:54:38] Speaker A: My old brown one. [00:54:39] Speaker B: And my Golf. He was talking crap about my Golf. I mean, that was when I had my Golf. My little diesel Golf all hopped up. I mean, blistered his butt. I mean, bad and short. There was some people down, which I left and went back down. Went to Robinson Park, Robinson Spring down there. I just went around. [00:55:02] Speaker A: You went left at the end of. [00:55:03] Speaker B: The road and went out that way. And by the time they said. They said those cop. Those people down there watching us, and they said, there's cops everywhere. And everybody went back to McDonald's. There's cops at McDonald's. And I went to the house. [00:55:17] Speaker A: Speaking of shoot, what did you say? [00:55:21] Speaker B: Do you remember? Are you serious? [00:55:24] Speaker A: Now? You said something that triggered a memory. [00:55:25] Speaker B: I can't remember what it was. Yeah, I don't know. But you don't remember. [00:55:28] Speaker A: I don't remember what part it was. [00:55:30] Speaker B: It was McDonald's where we used to. [00:55:31] Speaker A: No, not that. I wasn't going to say nothing about that. You said something. [00:55:34] Speaker B: Do you remember McDonald's? [00:55:35] Speaker A: Yeah, when we used to go down. [00:55:36] Speaker B: There, that was the hangout. [00:55:37] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. They'd run us off, tried to. They come down there and tell us to leave. Oh, speaking of Robinson Springs park, this guy, let me tell you about this. I had an old CRX that I used to. Has a piece of junk. Piece of junk. I bought it for like 600 bucks. And back then that was a lot of money to me. But anyway, it was a project car. It was really a gas saver for me. It's what I was using it for. But I had. We had it over Brody's and working on it, doing something. I don't remember what it was. Axles, maybe tie rods or something. I don't know. But we worked on it and it was probably a Thursday night. We used to play basketball Every Thursday night down there at Robson Springs, till the cops would run us off because they had to lock the gate. [00:56:18] Speaker B: Lock a gate and turn the lights off. [00:56:20] Speaker A: Yeah. And we was trying to make it down there. So we rushed home, back to Brody's house after work, and fix this thing and take off down there. I'll meet you down there. You know, I pull in the parking lot of this place, and this thing is driving like crap all the way there. I mean, I'm like, what is wrong? [00:56:37] Speaker B: I don't know how it was. [00:56:38] Speaker A: It's just my fault this thing is back because you put the wheels on it. [00:56:42] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:56:42] Speaker A: Anyway, I get down there, freaking wheels about to fall off. It didn't. [00:56:46] Speaker B: Oh, did it? [00:56:46] Speaker A: No, no, I made it. [00:56:48] Speaker B: I made it. Luckily, you went from Brody's house and not your house or it would have. [00:56:51] Speaker A: Fell off, but, yeah, that was. [00:56:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:56:56] Speaker A: Speaking of that part, that's. That's one thing that happened. It was crazy. And we. [00:57:00] Speaker B: We had some good adventures. That's for sure. [00:57:03] Speaker A: I. [00:57:04] Speaker B: You know, the time we. Do you remember when. I don't know if this was all the same that night this all happened, but do you remember when we went up to Wild Wings, this one up in Farragut, and do you remember Brody getting. [00:57:19] Speaker A: We. [00:57:19] Speaker B: We all. We all got a Braveheart. [00:57:23] Speaker A: Yeah, we ordered a. We ordered a. [00:57:24] Speaker B: Do you remember Brody got it all over him. [00:57:26] Speaker A: He. He wiped his eyes and got in his eyes. [00:57:30] Speaker B: He got this stuff all over the hottest. [00:57:33] Speaker A: Hottest wing you get there. That's what it was. [00:57:35] Speaker B: One of the hottest wings on a waiver. You had to sign a waiver to even eat it? [00:57:40] Speaker A: No, I don't think so. [00:57:41] Speaker B: You did. [00:57:41] Speaker A: There was one off that they didn't have on the menu you could get. I think it was called, like, the British Spears. Yeah, but maybe we did. I don't believe that's right, but maybe. [00:57:51] Speaker B: Okay. Okay, well, there is. When you eat a wing somewhere, you do have to sign a waiver, but I don't know if it was wild wings or not. I have signed a waiver. I don't remember if it was wild. [00:58:02] Speaker A: So Brody can't eat honey chipotle chicken crispers without them being too hot for him at Chili's. So this guy gets them. Seriously. I've seen him. I've seen him order ice cream because, honey, chipotle chicken got too hot for him. [00:58:14] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. [00:58:15] Speaker A: So he don't, like, heat that much when it comes to food. And. But yeah, I mean, I remember. I remember. You Know that night and what, bro? But he. But he, you know, he's, you know, on fire, whining and whatnot. And his eyes are watering, you know, and he wipes his eyes. And when he wipes his eyes, I remember him in the bathroom. All of us went to the bathroom. They wouldn't bring us any drinks. Enough drinks. We're all on fire in the sinks. We're on fire in the sinks, and they're trying to rinse our mouths out. Three minutes, est. EST is with us. [00:58:48] Speaker B: Oh, I remember. [00:58:50] Speaker A: EST is with us, too. We all dive into that bathroom. Brody goes into the. Into the, like, stall. For some reason, I don't know. I think he was going to throw up. I'm going to throw up. [00:59:01] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. [00:59:01] Speaker A: You know, and he's in there. M. I want my. You know, he's whining over his eyes burning now. [00:59:08] Speaker B: Oh, gosh. [00:59:09] Speaker A: But, yeah, it was. Those are hot wings. And by the way, they opened up, like, last week. They came back to Farragut. [00:59:15] Speaker B: Where at? Same spot. [00:59:16] Speaker A: Yep, yep, yep. Just came back. They had a grand opening or something, so we got to go. Oh, we got to go. Need to get the band back together. Oh, man. [00:59:24] Speaker B: We do. Well. Oh, that was. That was some good times. Yeah, we went there one time, and we all. We didn't have a parking spot. It was plum packed. Do you remember that? [00:59:36] Speaker A: Well, you remember I went. [00:59:37] Speaker B: No, no, no. [00:59:37] Speaker A: You got boxed in. [00:59:38] Speaker B: I got boxed in. That's what it was. [00:59:40] Speaker A: You parked on the side. Not in a parking spot. You got. [00:59:42] Speaker B: But everybody. Everybody parked, you know, there. But I mean, everybody. They parked. I had it. Well, I had a 1989 Dodge Omni Red. Beautiful, beautiful little car. I bought it from somebody in Telco Village. [00:59:55] Speaker A: He hauled, like, five people. Three people cross the back, two in the front in that thing. [01:00:00] Speaker B: And they wasn't just normal. [01:00:01] Speaker A: How much that car weigh? [01:00:02] Speaker B: I don't know. Probably. Maybe. Maybe 3000 pounds. [01:00:06] Speaker A: It weighed 3000 pounds. And he had. [01:00:07] Speaker B: Yeah, I had half. [01:00:09] Speaker A: 1200 in it. [01:00:10] Speaker B: Half of that in it. Yeah. [01:00:11] Speaker A: Absolutely. Yeah. You had that much within people in it. [01:00:14] Speaker B: So we big people, we get in this thing and we get done eating, and we go out to get in the car, and we can't get. We can't do nothing. They've got. We're talking inches. Inches of us trying to get. This is like this, you know, Austin Powers thing. I mean, you ain't getting out, you know? So we had Chad, me, Dustin. Dustin, Billy, you. [01:00:43] Speaker A: I wasn't in there with you. I Rode with Brody and his truck. [01:00:46] Speaker B: Did you not help us move it? [01:00:47] Speaker A: No, y' all had moved it. We. No, we didn't know about it, Y'. All. Y' all had that handled. Okay. We didn't park where you parked. [01:00:53] Speaker B: So we take this. [01:00:54] Speaker A: We had a truck. We. I was in Brody's truck. You could put that car in the back of it. [01:00:57] Speaker B: Yeah, right. [01:00:57] Speaker A: You know, so. I don't know. We didn't park where you did. [01:01:00] Speaker B: So we. [01:01:01] Speaker A: We. I think Bill was with y', all, was he not? I'm pretty sure it was Bill. [01:01:05] Speaker B: We may have. [01:01:05] Speaker A: That was. [01:01:06] Speaker B: This was summer. Okay. This was. This was the summer. It was summertime. And I told Chad and Dustin and me and Bill, I guess I think it was. And I said, let's all get on the back end of this thing. And I think we can just try to scoot it over. Well, I didn't realize how light it was. All of us got on this thing. We literally picked the car a foot off the ground and just slid it all, you know, because it was so tight. We slid it over, and then we scoot over and we picked it up again. We slid it over. And on the deck out there, the people are going wild watching us drunk. [01:01:38] Speaker A: Out on the patio. [01:01:39] Speaker B: Oh, they're hollering. [01:01:39] Speaker A: Whoa. [01:01:40] Speaker B: Yeah. You know, and we're hollering back at them. It was the best. I mean, wish we could have got on video. [01:01:47] Speaker A: Guys picking up a car and moving it. [01:01:50] Speaker B: So I'm sure. And there was probably, I don't know, 30, 40 people out there, and they're out there drinking their beer and everything, and they're hollering and having a good time watching us. But we get that thing, we pull it out, and we. 1500 pounds of us, load up in it, and we had. We got on the interstate and we're coming back. Coming back, I guess, to your house? I guess. Yeah. It was coming back to your house because we all got sick. Do you remember that? Do you remember? [01:02:17] Speaker A: No, I don't. [01:02:18] Speaker B: Do you remember at your house? [01:02:20] Speaker A: I remember everybody getting sick, but I thought that was a night after Chili's or something where all y' all ate the same thing. [01:02:26] Speaker B: Maybe it was chilly. [01:02:27] Speaker A: Yeah, it was. You got sick, Bill got sick, Dustin got sick, and I didn't. [01:02:31] Speaker B: Okay, I remember it. [01:02:32] Speaker A: Okay. Y' all were in and out. [01:02:34] Speaker B: It's a revolving door. Yeah. [01:02:35] Speaker A: Y' all were just in and out of the bathroom up there. [01:02:38] Speaker B: From my room to the bathroom, Bill. [01:02:39] Speaker A: Was hollering everybody but me. I remember that. [01:02:42] Speaker B: Bill Was. He was hollering and about crying. So funny. But anyway, so we get back in this car. We all, you know, we. We celebrate with those people because we just picked up his car. Which was a really cool feeling, by the way. And so we had. It was me, Dustin, Bill, Chad, and I could have swore that maybe it was just them because I remember maybe it was just four of them. Bill doesn't. [01:03:06] Speaker A: I don't know. It might have been. So anyway. [01:03:08] Speaker B: But it's way too much for the car. [01:03:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:03:10] Speaker B: So we're running down the highway and we're dumb. I mean, we're stupid anyway, you know, Young teenagers. Interstate on the interstate. And we're about to. About Watt Road and we're. We're ripping. And I'm on a set of. Anybody knows anything about tires. I'm on a set of FR380 Firestones. [01:03:29] Speaker A: That's 15 years ago. Yeah, like tire that's been gone forever. [01:03:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:03:34] Speaker A: Cheap, cheap tires. [01:03:35] Speaker B: The cheapest tires you can buy. [01:03:36] Speaker A: It used to. [01:03:37] Speaker B: So they're. [01:03:38] Speaker A: You. [01:03:39] Speaker B: You and Brody are in his. [01:03:41] Speaker A: His old square body F250. Yeah. [01:03:44] Speaker B: Old model. Like. Like 96 or something. [01:03:46] Speaker A: No, I think it was a 97. [01:03:47] Speaker B: I'm pretty sure we're ripping down through there. We're heading towards Watt Road. And. And I've got this Dodge Omni right up on his rear end. And we're running every bit of a hundred. Hundred. I mean, as fast as my. [01:03:57] Speaker A: It's 100 and something. Because his truck would register 100. No, I think it only raised 35. [01:04:03] Speaker B: But anyways, I had that thing and it was sitting on a hundred. Mine was. And I had it to the floor. It would not do nothing else. But I had £1,000 in the car and I had it pegged to the floor. And I'm right on the back of his bumper. And just luckily, because it could have. I mean, that thing would have killed one of us if it had come through the windshield. He's got a license plate that comes up out of the back of bed of his truck. And I see it just as pretty as you Please go over the top of it. I don't know if it glances off the car or not. I don't even know if it hits my car. I don't think it does. But it looks like it's coming right from my windshield. And it just picks itself up and goes right over the car. [01:04:39] Speaker A: Yeah, I remember that. [01:04:42] Speaker B: And we're running 100 miles an hour down the interstate. If this thing. If it hit us, it Killed us. But anyway, so we get back to your house or Brody's or somebody's, and. We pull in and these FR380s had left the chat. They were gone. [01:04:59] Speaker A: They had peeled. [01:05:00] Speaker B: They had peeled off. Tread was gone, literally. There's no tread on one of them. It's on the rear. [01:05:07] Speaker A: You freaked out. [01:05:08] Speaker B: I did. [01:05:08] Speaker A: You freaked out. It bothered you a lot. [01:05:11] Speaker B: It did. Because I could have killed everybody and I would. It would have killed us all. At 100 miles an hour, a car flipping, that little thing, it ain't going to go sideways or skid down the highway. It's flipping like a little, you know, it's going to be like a ball down the highway at 100 miles an hour. But I got out and all I had was cord on my tires. Cord. There was no tread. And then, like, the other side, it had started peeling, you know, and I don't even know what. I don't even remember what I'd done. I think I might put the spare. [01:05:38] Speaker A: On it, or I think he did, and then just took it to work, put tires out. [01:05:42] Speaker B: But it was. It was a. It was. It was. Good golly. [01:05:47] Speaker A: We. [01:05:48] Speaker B: We were dumb. [01:05:49] Speaker A: Yeah. But I mean, looking back, that was still safer than a lot of things my brother did. [01:05:54] Speaker B: Well, yeah. Yeah. [01:05:55] Speaker A: But, yeah, we were dumb. We did a lot of dumb. [01:05:57] Speaker B: Looking back, I'd be just thinking about it now. I'm like, I wouldn't even think about half the stuff that we done. [01:06:02] Speaker A: No, not now. [01:06:04] Speaker B: My. [01:06:04] Speaker A: You'd probably be in a lot more trouble now, too. I mean, just like, just for example, that you let us go. I mean, you used to. [01:06:10] Speaker B: Yeah, used to. [01:06:11] Speaker A: We could get by with more. [01:06:12] Speaker B: Yeah. I was going to say, I don't think they'd let you go for illegal drag racing now. They would. I guaranteed that. Somebody give you a ticket somewhere. [01:06:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:06:18] Speaker B: No, but I think we were in that era, too, where you had some. Some old head cops. Like, most of them were still old heads. You know, they were. You know, they done the same thing we done when we were, you know, they were just out there having fun, you know, drag racing and stuff. [01:06:32] Speaker A: But, yeah, yeah, we had. We had it. [01:06:35] Speaker B: But. [01:06:35] Speaker A: So speaking of cars and having vehicles and all that, you know, Buddy told me one time that he didn't have a car when he was 17. He never had a car. But he had a buddy that worked at the tv. [01:06:48] Speaker B: A buddy is a guy that we used to work, or I used to work with at the automotive shop that he's. That he is the manager At. [01:06:56] Speaker A: Yeah, he's an older guy. He's in his 60s now. But anyway, he said when he was the best guy. [01:07:01] Speaker B: The best guy. The company has my hands down. [01:07:04] Speaker A: I think when he was 17 years old, he said that he didn't have a car yet. And I. I guess maybe he grew up on the. You know, parents didn't buy him stuff like that, you know what I mean, Back back then. Yeah. So he didn't have a car yet. And he had a buddy that worked at the TA when there used to be one up off of Campbell Station, or not Camel Station. Cedar Bluff. No. What road is that? Not Cedar Bluff. [01:07:32] Speaker B: What road? [01:07:34] Speaker A: No, going up level. There used to be one across the interstate level from Shop, but it ain't there no more. They shut it down. But it was there, like. I don't know, I just seen it. It was gone. So it wasn't that long. Anyway, he had a buddy used to work there, and he said, I used to hang out up there at that truck stop because he worked there and I didn't have nothing else to do. And. And he said I'd hitchhike, you know, to get where he needed to go. My dad tells me all the time that he used to hitchhike, but Buddy said he's hitchhiking. He said it got late that night and he needed to go, you know, get back down to Little City. So he sticks. Sticks his thumb out right there and his car pulls up, and he said, he just reached down and opens the door, gets in it, and it's. A woman. Ain't got no clothes on. [01:08:18] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [01:08:19] Speaker A: Not a stitch of clothing. Nothing. Nothing. I said, my gosh, Buddy. I said, what'd you. What'd you do? He said, I didn't do nothing, dog. [01:08:29] Speaker B: I said, that's him to a T. [01:08:31] Speaker A: I said, well, what'd you say to her? He goes, I didn't say a word. I said, she had nowhere to take you. He said, I didn't tell her where I was going. I told her I was headed. And so she jumped on the interstate, he said. I said, he goes, I couldn't even tell you what her face looked like. He said, I just sat there like his. He said, I was only 17 years old. He said, I just sit there like that. He said. Finally, I told her, I said, just let me off here at Watt Road. He said I was going all the way there and said. He said I didn't want to be in a car no more. Now, who can tell a story like that? What's the odds of that happening. That's insane. [01:09:04] Speaker B: That's awesome. I love Buddy, man. He's great. Like share subscribe you do you we're going to keep doing us. Leave us a comment. We'll see you guys next time.
