I heard how you guys roll, so I only got-- - He'll definitely be invited back. - Oh, yeah, dude. - Yeah, definitely bring back that shit. What are we going to go for? (laughing) - So if you don't know, Albert, he is the owner of the Julian station up in Julian. If you haven't been there, you need to go for sure. - A lot of cool spots, I just bought a pocket knife. - Oh, cool. - This past weekend, but my dude-- - Cowboy Rondezvous. - Yeah, what's his name? - Tom, from Cowboy Rondezvous. - Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's the story, yeah. - I actually have it in my pocket right now. - I got a little wallet. - Bad ass. - Nice, nice. - Yeah, check it out, dude. - Oh, I like it. - It's got the little bone handle on there. - I'm obsessed with knives. - Me too. - And then I lose a bunch of them all the time, so. - I lose them all the time. - I find them in my washing machine. (laughing) - Yeah, they bang, they really bang up the drive, pretty good. (laughing) - At least you find them. I leave them out in the pasture and then they're gone forever, but I just got a brand new buck. I'm really-- - Oh, yeah. - Yeah, cool, dude. - I'm excited about it. - Hell yeah, we gotta take a photo of that and put that on our Facebook. - They're beautiful, it's a beautiful knife. - Hell yeah. - Some guy with a metal detector 100 years from now is gonna go around his property and go. - Oh, yeah. - Yeah, it makes him kind of like weird. (laughing) - There's a lot of knives in this pasture, a murderer must have lived here, something. - Not just a wine collector, just a knife collector. (laughing) - There's at least 10 buck knives out in that pasture for real, so. - No, that's okay. - Yeah, dude, they just fall out. You're like, why the fuck did it go? - You get to see how if I come across one, what could shake its in, you know, 10 years later. - I can't do it. - Come post, half-composted. - All right. (laughing) - Wow, it should have, it'll be fine. - So, dude, tell us about the Julian station, man. Like, what's, what's-- - Yeah, how long have you owned that? - Whiskey, I like that. - Oh, that's good stuff. - Gentlemen, Jack. - All right, let's see. Julian station was 2008, and I went up there, actually on my birthday, to go wine tasting, and I was like, there's this flyer in the wine tasting. So, I'm minding my own business, trying to just taste wine and hang out in this flyer for sale, and I'm like, oh shit. Shoot, you say that on this show? - Oh, yeah, you can say it. - You can say shit. - We're internet. - You can say shit. - I didn't hear the beat go off, you can be natural. So, unless, unless it makes you feel (beep) - Oh, there you go, there you go, there you go. - Maybe I should do that to myself. (laughing) - Can you do you have to say your muffs first? - Your muffs. - I'm just kidding. - No, no you're not. - No, feel free then. - So, I see this flyer on the table as I'm trying to taste wine in my own business, and it says for sale, and I'm like, oh damn, that'd be fun. But I just built a house, first house I ever built out, middle of nowhere out in this can, so like, so far out it was hard to get family to even come visit. It was like, when we sold it, we called it a piece of Montana and this can, so I weren't San Diego County. - Wow, okay. - 'Cause I mean, it was out there, like, when we first bought the property, not even a four wheel drive could get in, so we'd have to hike. - Oh, yeah. - So, it was one of those kind of places. So, I just finished a really nice house though, out there, and I'm like, I'm not moving, this is no way. So, all night long, I'm tossing and turning, and I'm like, damn, I forget about it, like, and I couldn't, so like, four o'clock in the morning, I turn over, I tell my wife, I wanna buy that place in Julian. - Oh, yeah. - And she says, I was thinking the same thing, and so the rest is yesterday. - Oh man, see, you got your significant other Honda. - Yeah. - So, that made the pitch really easy, huh? - You did, you didn't have to spend weeks going, so let me explain all the reasons why it's a good idea. - Yeah, and I felt like it was gonna be like, you know, it was a hard thing to say to somebody, 'cause we just built this house and you're like, what are you thinking, we're gonna move again? - Like, less than a year you've been there at this pointer? - Yeah. - Oh, wow. - Or maybe a year max. - Okay. - Probably not even, yeah, year and a half or so. Anyway, so we did it, but we couldn't sell the place, 'cause it was so scary, just so far. Nobody was there, you know, I'd tell people, like, hey, this place is private. Like, oh, we want private. I'd say it's really, really private. (laughing) They'd say, yeah, we want really, really private, and I'd say it's really, really private. (laughing) I'd say it's scary private, and say, yeah, you know, and so I'd have people show up, they'd go up the half a mile driveway, and they'd get to the top and say, how do I get home? Like, you don't wanna see the house? It's a beautiful house, and no, get me out of here. Anyway, so it took a long time to sell, so we stayed there for a while. Then I rented it to a guy who used to be a roadie for guns and roses, and raised snakes in my house. Oh, yeah. Felt 'em to raise snakes and mice and rats, to feed the snakes, it was a long, anyways. Like, poisonous snakes or, like, pythons and like-- The whole thing. Oh, wow. Yeah. Damn. We'll see one of those crazy people that would, like, bite 'em, like, let 'em bite 'em to build up his immunity so he could-- That's a good question, I don't know. Travis and I, during COVID, watched a lot of weird shit on YouTube, like, people that would raise snakes, and they would raise 'em and, like, do, like, I mean, I guess the equivalent to, like, microdosing drugs, I guess, to, like, try to build up their immunities and their toxins to the snakebites. There's a guy that can take, like, a full bite on a-- So it's a real thing. Yeah, yeah, and, like, these guys, like, lift in, like, one bedroom apartments or, like, little houses and had 'em in, like, shoeboxes under their couch, like, crazy. That's wild, 'cause, poison oak, like, you think it worked that way and apparently it doesn't, right? Right. The more you get it, the more sensitive you get to it. Yeah, yeah. It's like being stung by-- This is crazy. So my dad grew up, his grandmother was given property on the Baroni Indian Reservation, and I don't know if this is true, but this is what my dad said, that starting from when they were a baby, they would feed the kids poison oak, like, microdoses, so when they would go out and play-- They'd be, like, a mutant. They would be immune to it. Yeah, that's cool. Hey, Fermi. You have a weird family. Sure, dad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We probably-- Between the Ama Jo, the Ama stuff and the uncles, yeah. But this is good word. Wait, uncles. Isn't that what you said? You don't know what you would feed to give the kids microdoses poison oak? No, the Indians on-- Oh, the E.S., oh. My dad would say that, 'cause he grew up on the Indian Reservation, and I'd go in on vacation. That's right. So the Indians would feed their-- We were never fed poison oak. They didn't pay attention. I wasn't paying attention. I was like, I thought it was just eating a salad. What the hell is that? No, it tastes weird in my mouth that just weird. Some healthy greens. Dude, so, Albert, you make wine. I make wine, yeah. Dude, tell me about that. So how did that happen? Like, when did you start making a wine, like-- Yeah, that's a good question. Let's see. Well, I did some today, actually. The last thing I did was we pressed some all back today into a tank. Ooh, that's one of my faves. So that was exciting. Wine happened. I went on a cruise, right? I'd never been on a cruise in my life, and I was making fun of the whole item. Cruises are for funny people, and not my thing. What am I going to do on this cruise? And it's kind of like that. You can do three things. You can eat, drink, and sleep. So I'm like, oh, this is going to be hard. But it was fun, because you take off, and you relax, and you don't have to think-- I'm full, and I'm not tired. What am I going to do now? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. So on the cruise, there was like bingo, and all this weird stuff. And finally, I'm like, oh, wine tasting. Well, I don't drink wine, but I like to drink, and I like to learn. So let's go. So I ask, hey, who wants to go on this wine tasting thing with me, and everyone turn me down. I'm like, all right, screw you all, I'm going. What? So it was a three-part class. It was a seven-day cruise, so it was three times that you'd go in to learn on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, whatever. And, dude, I fell in love so fast. I was instantly smitten. I was planning my vineyard before I got off the boat. I was just like, this is it. I just loved it. It was weird how quickly I-- And now you're like, you make a shit ton of wine. What's your volume like? What's the-- The worst truth be told, we're actually pretty micro. I mean, everybody around here is smaller wineries, but I think our biggest crush was about 14,000 pounds, which is a lot, but for us it is. But there's people out there making a lot more than that. But it's plenty. It's a lot of work, you know? And you brought some of this with-- I brought some. What did you bring? I brought a 2020 Cabernet Franc. And it's actually grown on old Julien Highway. You're speaking my language. Mallback and Cab Franc are probably two of my favorite varietals. Nice. Yeah, it's a fun wine. It's from-- Used to be a guy named Larry Escalona's place. Now, Tim and Kathy Morton known that vineyard. But for years, I bought all that fruit from like 2016 until 2021 or 2020. So yeah, I got a wine from old Julien Highway and I-- Do you outsource all your grapes, or do you have a vineyard on your property out there? I got my own vineyard. This project is with my dad. We both decided to inflict abuse on ourselves. Because it's true. I mean, if you-- making wine, you got to be crazy. You got to be willing to work really hard. And you got to be willing to do it for free. Yeah. I mean, it's really insane. It's really a lot of work. And you got to be badass, though. Dude, I remember the first time I met you, man. We were doing a gig up there at the Julien station. Yeah. And it was like-- I don't know what it was like. It was like a-- It rained. So we ended up playing-- But what was it they called? It was like a cowgirl's dance, or like a-- Yeah, it was like a couple years ago. Was it first Friday? No, it was an event for like these women. And it was like the cowbells. Oh, yeah. The women ranchers. Yeah. Cool. So we played there. That's so cool, man. And you were there, and you were like, hey, if we took a break, and you're like, hey, man, do you want to try some wine? I'm like, fuck yeah, I want to try some wine. That was awesome, dude, I do it. Yeah, speaking of dirty confetti, I love you. I've always loved watching you guys. You're really one of my favorite local bands. And every time I've had a chance to see you, I've gone for it, which is, I don't get out much sometimes. But anyways, I love the band. I've always loved watching you guys listening. Thanks, dude. Dude, I love your tunes, bro. We got to listen to some of that. Well, what's-- Let's get a song going, and then he's pouring some wine. Yeah, dude. Let's get some wine going, and let's listen to-- I don't want to hear about these songs. Some about Albert Gary Lewis. All right, all right. All right, done. I'm crazy. Yeah, here we go.

Dude, that first song, that was your original song. - Oh, "Trees will crack." - Oh, "Trees will crack." - That's a great song. - Dude, tell me a little bit about that, man. That's a badass song. - Yeah, that song, so I titled the album after that song. And song is like my parents speaking to me, it's channeling through me and going to my kids, really. - Nice, dude. - That's their kids? - I got three kids, yeah. I got Jethro, who's 17, 18, just turned 18. My daughter, Arabelle, is 15, and my youngest son is Eli at 11. - Oh, nice, dude. - You're a family, man. - I'm a family, yeah, dude, that's awesome, man. - So what got you into music? Like, does your family play music? Is that something that came to you later? - Yeah, my mom was a piano teacher, my grandma was a piano teacher, my aunt was a piano teacher. - Do you know how to play the piano? - I do, I do, yeah. Yeah, I even put a little piano and going down on that album. There's a little bit of piano there for me. But, yeah, piano's fun to write. Piano's like, if I really am confused, or I'm like, how do I figure something out that's not, doesn't just come automatically, I'll go to the piano. - Dude, me too, when I write my songs, I usually write them on piano first. - I love your song on the piano, I listen to it recently. Well, maybe it was live, but I feel like I've heard it a couple times. - Yeah, it's only live, I don't have it recorded, 'cause I'm just holding out. - I really locked into the lyrics last time I heard it. That was, yeah, live at Josie's, the other. - Yeah, how about pianos in our living room? - Yeah, that's about the piano, that's my living room, man. - Yeah, that's cool, that's a fun song, truly. - No, that's cool though, man, 'cause I write songs like that too, 'cause I just play the piano with it, and I'll just get the chords, and whatever, and work around with it, and on piano, and then I'll transcribe it into guitar, and then I'll play guitar with it. Same kind of situation. - Yeah, I go back and forth. I mean, sometimes I'll write it all in my head, and then have to go back, and like, what did I do, and what chords go with this? - Yeah. - You know, but the piano's just, yeah, it's like the bass line, where to start, where to figure things out, piano's great. - Yeah, bass, and lead, and everything with it. So what's your inspiration, man? Like, what's your, dude, your songs and your music remind me of old school outlaw country, dude. That's why I wanted to get you on the show so bad. - Thank you. - 'Cause dude, all your songs remind me of that old style, like that old school style, like what's your go-to? Like, what was inspiring? - I mean, I love everything. I love music so much. I can't even, it makes me cry, and I'm just trying to think about it, how I really feel about music, but I mean, my dad raised us on Weyland and Willie. In fact, on Spotify, I put, you know, a little bio that you have to do. I told the story of how my dad would threaten us with Willie, 'cause we hated Willie. We like Weyland. Like, all of us loved Weyland from whatever, from birth on, but Willie, we hated that twang. We were just like, so my dad would say, "If you kids don't shut up, I'm gonna put on Willie." And we would put instantly silent. Don't put Willie, right? - No. - And I love, you know. - What about Willie and Weyland together? - That's, I mean, that's as good as it gets. - What is the song? I love it. It's, I don't know the name of it, but he's saying, I'm not going with you to the border tonight. Oh, if I can find a clean shirt, that's the name of it. - I don't know it. - I never, oh my God, it's so funny. - I've gotta listen to a lot of Weyland and Willie. - It's Willie Nelson and Weyland Jennings, and they're trying to talk each other into going down to the border, down to Mexico. - If I can find a clean shirt, that would be cool. - And the whole time they're saying, no, no, no, and then hit the head. (upbeat music) - There it is. (upbeat music) - Boy, I know this song. - Yeah. - Yeah. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) - Yeah. (upbeat music) - Yeah. (upbeat music) - I like it. - Oh, yeah. - I guess I just don't know my name. (laughing) - My favorite one of my favorites they did is a song about the record companies. Go write your own songs. - Oh, yeah. - It's called write your own songs. - Yeah, yeah. - Really, that's a great classic Weyland, Willie combo. Yeah, I love Weyland, love Willie from, like I saw Willie at 18 years old, which was just a couple of years ago. (laughing) I saw Willie at the Del Mar Fair, like when I was 18, and that was really, when they were concerts were free and you just roll it all crazy and super fun. - Eric got to see Milli Vanillia to, yeah. (laughing) - That's right. - I only do autographs once a year though, so. They had some good beats, you know. - What was it that somebody had some good beats? (laughing) - Somebody was in there. - What are they even singing out? - They were lip-syncing. - I saw Willie Nelson at Country Fest, probably, yeah, I was probably 18 too, just last week. (laughing) - Country Fest. - You're more believable than me. (laughing) - The amphitheater, I think it was an Irvine, I can't remember what it was called, but it was like a whole day music festival and he was the headliner. - Nice. - Yeah. - Yeah, I think I've seen Willie like 12 times, like, and I just saw him a month ago, and I was not gonna go, 'cause I'm like, all right, I've seen Willie so many damn times, like, I'm just gonna leave it where it was, you know, memory-wise, it's like a good old days, but I was really glad I went. - Yeah, Jen, that owns Palma, a hundred boyfriend went, to the Hollywood Bowl last year, it was his 90th birthday concert, and they said it was the best show they've ever seen, it was amazing. - That's insane. - Man, you know what's crazy, man, we just heard, well, just this past week, there's only one highway man left. - Yeah, Chris Chrysopson on 28th. - Chris Chrysopson passed away. - Yeah, Chris Chrysopson passed away. - Yeah, man, he got a little homage to him. - Yeah, a little recipe, so yeah, that's cute. - He wrote stuff like, you know, he wrote Sunday morning coming down, which was a really cool Johnny Cash thing, I mean, they probably all sang it at one point. - Yeah. - But he wrote that, he wrote Bobby McGee. - Bobby McGee, yeah. - He was a writer, he was a cool writer. - He did a lot of good writings, and he was an actor too, he was in a lot of those movies, like, there were kind of like, B-rated movies, I think, with Steven Seagull, and... - No, he was in a star, one of the ones with the stars, one with Barbra Streisand, that wasn't B. - Oh, okay, Barbra Streisand, yeah. - Barbra Streisand, I don't know if that counts. - That's not a B-rated movie. - Oh my gosh, you did that. - You're mine, I'm like her, but she's amazing. I think Barbra Streisand's an E-God. I gotta Google it. - A what? - E-God, Emmy, Golden Globe, Oscar, Tony. - Oh, well. - She's won all of them. - Is that a thing? - Yeah. - I didn't know that. - There's a lot of things that are things that I don't know about. Yeah, I don't know. - Man, I have to ask that question. Is that a thing? (laughing) - So, your inspiration is Weyland Jennings? - Definitely, yeah. Love Weyland, Willie. - Right on. - I mean, all those guys, Hank Jr., I love Hank Jr. - Yeah, dude, both Sifas, I grew up on both Sifas, man. That was my jam. - That's good stuff. - I remember, I don't know, seven, eight years old listening to the both Sifas tape. It was a tape back then. - Oh, yeah, I got tape. - But it was country boy cancer. Country boy can survive that. - Oh, yeah. - Oh, dude. - That's good. - Yeah. - There's so many good ones. That's the thing, too. - Yeah, yeah. - It's just a full trunk of good, good stuff. - All right, so we gotta ask, we ask every guest, man, your thoughts on the, who would you say, not George Strait or anything like that, but who would you say your ideal of King of Country? Like, who's the King of Country? - That's so... - Like, outlaw country. Like, who's the King of outlaw country? - I've been trying to answer that question my whole life. - I like how Travis prepped, you know, he refines it every time, the King of Country, the King of outlaw country, the King of outlaw from the '50s. - I was good. - Well, yeah, he taught you well. - I mean, it doesn't have to be. - As long as you don't say George Strait, there's no wrong answer. - I love George Strait, but I just... - I'm in your opinion. - No disrespect to George Strait, but I would never say George Strait. - Oh, thank God. - It's just not in me to say that. - I knew I loved you. - Oh, no. (laughing) - I mean, it's really, that's such a hard question. I mean, it really always comes down to Waylon Willy, but I've never even won the Waylon Willy fight in my mind. I'm always like, Waylon or Willy, and I can't do it. I just can't do it, like... - So you wanna know who mine is? - Tell me. - Hey, Williams. - Senior. - That's a fair king. - Like, that's, all right. - But that's what I wanna know. So George Strait, everyone calls him the king of country. He's not that old. Like, don't you have to have like a... I mean, he guess he has a legacy, but do you know what I mean? - Well, yeah, he owns the stats. He has had more number one hits than any other country singer. So speaking of that thing, like I didn't know he was a king of country, anybody even said that. - Oh, yeah, they call him King George. - King George and George, yeah. - It's just, I've never heard that. - Yeah. - I mean, there's so many good people, you know? It's ridiculous. I mean, Johnny Cash, I'm real haggard. - Yeah, Johnny Cash. - Somebody said Johnny Cash. - Conway, good ones. - Who's the guest that we had that said Johnny Cash? That I was like, yes! And then Conway, Twitty. - Could have been Amber. - Oh yeah, it might have been Amber, yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - That's just what it is, man. - Yeah, there's just so many, you know, so much good. And then there's those, you know, kind of on the side people that are rad, like Mel McDaniel and, you know, John Anderson. - Oh yeah, John Anderson. - And Earl Thomas, Conley even, that was a later, you know, more in the 80s. And there's Alabama, like, I can't even. - Are you going to play in Texas? - I don't like to fly. I mean, the second I get on an airplane, if I'm by myself, I have on my phone, Alabama's greatest hits. It's from like 1970 something to 2000, whatever. And that's my go-to of my earbuds in. I turn on Alabama and I just lay back. - Lay back and let the airplane do what it's done. - Yeah. - Do what it does. - Yeah, Alabama's just, and Alabama's got their own chaggler. - That's what my mom played all the time. - It's, I love Alabama. They're like their own chaggler. - Oh yeah. - I saw Alabama with nitty-gritty dirt band and it's going to date me a little. And Billy Ray Cyrus. - Oh yeah. - And. - Don't. - Terrible huh? - Yeah, that whole thing. And man, it was so, it was so good. It was in a big open field out down on the Navy base, you know, in 30 second streets. - Sorry, yeah. - That was rad. It was so good. - I think it'd be cool. - That's rad. - It was phenomenal. - Heck yeah, dude. - Yeah. - Well, shoot, man, if you wanted to listen to an old ass country song, what would you like to hear right now, dude? - Gosh. - Listen to some tunes, bro. - Gosh. - You know what, okay. - You give me so much, I don't know. What's the word I'm looking for? You remind me so much of Jamie Johnson. - Jamie Johnson. - Ah, okay. - Are you Jamie Johnson now? - Are you Jamie Johnson now? - The feel that's kind of talking me. Yeah. - Oh my gosh, I got so offended the other day. I was playing Jamie Johnson and my client was like, oh, I like this song. And so I showed her a picture of Jamie Johnson. And she goes, oh, he looks like he smells. And I was like, well, that's so rude. - That was rude. - It's got a long hair and a long beard. Get the hell out of here. - What the fuck? - That's what I said. I was like, why would you say that? He probably has more money than you could ever dream of having in a million years. I promise you. - That's hilarious. (laughing) - So rude. - That is super funny. - All right. - Jamie Johnson's awesome. Okay, one song. - One song, yeah. - Let's pick it out. - It's called Please Don't Let Me Love You by Hank Sr. - Please don't love me. - Wrong. - You. - I heard that at some hotel, like some little hip hotel and Palm Springs or something once. And I just stopped and I couldn't move. - Oh, yeah. - I'm like, I need to figure out what this is right now. - Hail it. - It turned out to be. I mean, it was kind of obvious, but I was still like, could there be hankers? - Is that a hank? Yeah, it's got to be hank. - That's a good chance to check it out.

Dude, that was your song? - Yeah, that's it. - And you wrote that for your daughter? - No, that was cute. - No, that's Arabels the one I wrote for my daughter. So it's on the new album. - Yeah, we're gonna play that one. - But this song was, I wrote it after, we have this big party on the farm every year. Bunch of friends and family and the kids run around in circles. We run a big waterslide and the adults drink and eat and play horseshoes and talk and we just play a bunch of country music and... - Wait, when is this? - You got, you should go. (laughing) Now if I announce it on the radio, who knows what will happen? - No, don't do that. - It's called Back Country Bash. Albert, it's just the four of us. Don't worry about it. - You can tell us, you can tell us. - Nobody's listening. - Time and place. - Maybe a few people. - Dates and addresses. (laughing) Yeah, it's a big one. I mean, we get up to like 150 people sometimes. It's just a really fun party. - Heck yeah. - So I woke up the next day and you're always kind of like, you see all these faces and people and you have such a great time and you know, you're in that element where you're like, man, life is so good right now. You know, I'm with my people. I'm listening to country music. I'm drinking. I'm hanging out. It's a beautiful summer day. - Yeah, yeah. - So the next day, I kind of get the blues. I'm like, oh, damn. And I start to see where I was talking to so-and-so and where we were playing horseshoes and, you know, just playing the party back in my mind and I get kind of emotional. So I was with a buddy, Scott, a really cool guy. Liz out in the scan so and all sorts of things and writes really cool music. And I'm like, and we were jamming on the porch that next morning after cleaning up probably a bunch of beer cans and this and that. And I'm like, Scott, I'll be back. I got to go. And I just went into another play. I got away from them. And I wrote that whole song in an hour. I came back. So, okay, I'm back. - No. - And it just was kind of this pouring out of kind of gratitude and just reflecting on this awesome bit. So that's what that's about. - Very cool. - This family and friends and, you know, those moments where life is just right on. - Heck yeah, dude. That's killer. - Speaking of that, cheers. - Cheers. - We don't say cheers anymore. We say cilantro. - Cilantro cilantro. - Cilantro cilantro. (laughter) - Wait. Tink. - Get your tink in there. - Can you click your own wine glass with your whiskey glass? Is that all? - I did it. You just see it? - I just saw that. - I did a wine in there. - It's all sound okay. (laughter) - Sweet girls, where did you come back? - Clink. - Clink. - I do need more ice though. - We should get a picture of this. We'll see if Cassie can get a picture of this. Here's Travis sitting at a station. - I got a beer. - He's got a wine. I got a... - But Cor's light. He's got wine in a whiskey. (laughter) - Well, I did a whiskey. - I got a wine in a whiskey. - I got a wine in a whiskey. - I had a paper and a fucking bag of almonds. Eric. - What the hell, dude? - Oh, I saw you in your champagne on the table. - Yeah. Okay, we're speaking of almonds. - Yeah. - We got almonds. - This is a part of the show where I brought dried fruit for you. - Oh, yeah. - Oh, what did you bring? - I brought all kinds of weird stuff. - We love a guest with a guest. - Here's dried and fresh plums, and they're really effing good. - As I was from here from... - Yeah, it's off my farm up there. And then I accidentally made fruit leather. - Okay. - 'Cause I don't like it. - The plum is just my ballistic. - This is my little mistake. - So this is really good. It's messy as hell, but you might want to try that. - Fruit, leather. - Yeah. - So I just... - I love that. - I'm gonna try to... - Very cool, man. - A plum here. - I feel like... - See, this is what we do, man. I love it. I love living in Ramona. I love the people that fucking come out and hang out with us. - Carefully got pits in them. - Yeah, they got pits in them, yeah. - Damn, that's delicious. - It's so good, though. It's like candy to me. - Yeah, and then the fresh plums are damn sun plums, damn sun, like you damn sun. - You damn sun. - That's how it's spelled without the end. And those are... Man, those plums are good. - Oh, absolutely. - You wait till the right time and they just knock you down with goodness. - You're like a jack of all trades. - Yeah, dude. - No, no, wait. You make... - So what do you do for a day job or is just running all this shit your day job? - I mean, it's all goes together. - Right. - You know, like a little 1% music, you know, 7% winemaking, 13% farming, and then... you know, whatever the other number is. - Right. - Managing Julian Station. - No. - Basically that's... - And then, you know, there's kids in the whole mind, so yeah. - I love it. - Yeah, I do. - So speaking of kids, you got kids. You got your dad. - I'm a dad. - Your dad, bro. - Best thing I've ever done. - God bless you. - I'm a dad too, man. - True. - We're all dads, like sweet curbs. - I'm not even a mom. - Not even a mom. - Not a mom. - Eric, you're a dad. - I love it. - You got any good dad jokes? - Oh, God. It was funny. My son and I were just watching a show. My little boy likes to watch TV, so I'll sit down and, you know, glass of wine and watch with him. And whatever. It was some firefighter show. I don't even know. And somebody got put on the spot. Like, tell us a joke. And so I said to my little kid, Eli, my boy, I said, man, I hate when that happens. I can't even remember a joke, let alone tell a good joke. So no, I'm going to decline. I'm going to let... - Wah, wah, wah. Where's that little one? - I know. I know that's terrible, but I'm just... - No, there it is. - I'll be honest. - The funniest thing about me is how not funny I am. And that's funny, right? - It is. - That's hilarious. - That's hilarious. - That's funny, Joe. - That's funny. - Oh, man. - There's a stand-up comedian who goes up there and he's so dry, he's hilarious and I can't remember his name, he has way back, man. - Yeah. - Oh, that was funny. Yeah. - Oh, yeah. - You just sit there. - Oh, I can't remember his name. - Oh, dude, I know that you were talking. - Oh, dude, I know that you were talking. - Oh, man. - You were there. - Balled on the top exactly. - Exactly. - Yeah, then on the top. - Heck, that was amazing. - Oh, he was hilarious. - I love that. - Oh. - And he was... - The harder he tried not to be funny, the more funny he was. It might come to me in the next few minutes. - That's funny. - He was hilarious. - Dude, do you remember that TV show back in the day? It's called Naked and Afraid. - I don't. - You never watched the... - I wish I could lie to you about it. - Let me tell you. - It was a good show. They would take two people and a guy and a girl usually. And they would put him on somewhere in the island or wherever the fuck, somewhere. And they would be all... They would be naked once it was weird to me, but... - And Afraid. - And Afraid. - No, so... - But they'd be naked. So they'd have to camp out for like, I don't know, 21 days or something like that. - The point was to reduce you to your most primitive, like basic instincts. Each person was allowed to bring one, like, not even a luxury item, like one item. So usually... - A fire starter. - Someone would bring a flint and the other person would bring a knife or whatever. - You could bring one item with you. - So anyway, it was on... - It was on... - It was on 21 days. - 21 days? - 21 days. - Was one thing? - Yeah. - They had to build shelter. They had to hunt for food. - They had to get their own shit. - Just survive. - They had to survive. - But they were survivalists ahead of time. It wasn't like just me going into the jungle being like, "Figure it out." But they knew they kind of knew what they were doing. - Like, "Where's my whiskey for starters?" - Yeah, right, right. So anyway, I remember watching that TV show with my kid. He was probably about eleven, ten eleven. And so it was on TV, like it was on television, regular television. And so they were naked, right? So they had blurs all over the boobular area and the junkular area down there. - Actual scientific terms, boobular is junkular. - Scientific. - Boobular and junkular. - Yeah, yeah. - Textbook. - So I remember my... - They were in the web prediction. - My younger kid, 11 years old, he was like, "They had an episode come on and it was one chick on there and he's all dead. Holy crap, look at how big her blurs are." - Look at how big the blurs are. - Blurries. - Blurries. - Yeah. - Oh, that's cute. Actually, that's very cute. - That's funny. - I'm like, "Oh, dude." And then the ex-wife was like, "What the hell?" - No, it was all blurs. I did like that. Show was interesting. - Yeah. - That's a cute way to put it. You know, for some reason, I think my kids are past that. They would have just, I don't know, kids are growing up faster, it seems. - Yeah. - I mean, anyways. But that's very cute. - So I found the name of that comedian, Stephen Wright. - Stephen Wright. - Stephen Wright. - Yeah, this guy's just-- - My uncle was a clown for Ringling Brothers Circus, and when he died, all his friends went to the funeral in one car. - So I got out of the bed, I figured I'd go for a walk. She said, "How long you gonna be gone?" He said the whole time. - It wasn't like they were super smart! - That guy used to get me, my cousin, Abraham, loved that comedian. Yeah, he used to crack me up. Unique style. - All right, I wanna hear about Annabelle. - Erabelle. - Erabelle. - Yes, please. - Yeah. - Oh, yeah, I love that, actually. I've never, well, a couple times live, I've told the story, but wrote the song when she was a little kid. She's 15 now, and so she was just this fierce little gal, and so I wrote it when she was little, and I didn't finish it, and so it kinda carried through, and I finally finished the song maybe a year or two ago, and really nothing had changed. She was still strong, smart, courageous, bold, but still had her own humbleness and uncertainty, and anyways, it's about her. - I love that. - She's a rad kid. - Oh, and Chris Clark is on this track, Chris Clark, plow. - She's got a smile, and it will light a flaming darkness. She's got a soul, and it's a wild, it's hard to tame. She's tough sometimes, but it's a surface of her kindness, and when a dew is done, the world will never be the same. - Fairbell. My sweet air bell, you fit in your skin so well, my white and only air bell. - She's got a heart that will help the stranger, stranger. She's got a mind that's as beautiful as her face, she'll take the risk, but she recognizes that the stranger is just struggling to search, but she'll always find her place. - Fairbell. My sweet air bell, you fit in your skin so well, my white and only air bell. - Fairbell.

and I got you with me tonight, maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love, let's go to look in back taxes, wailing in where the end the boys, this successful life we're living, got us in because, between a quill of pain songs, blueberries, train songs, and blue eyes crying in the rain, out of looking back taxes, ain't nobody feeling no pain, so maybe let's sell your diamond rain, fire some boots and fader jeans and go away, this golden tie is choking me in your high society you cry all day, we've been so busy keeping up with the jokes, 4 car garage and we're still building up, maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love, let's go to looking back taxes, wailing in where the end the boys, this successful life we're living, got us feeling like the hat feels in the course, between a quill of pain songs, blueberries, train songs, blue eyes crying in the rain, out of looking back taxes, ain't nobody feeling no pain, let's go to looking back taxes, wailing in where the end the boys, this successful life we're living, got us feeling like the hat feels in the course, between a quill of pain songs, and your just train songs, blue eyes crying in the rain, out of looking back taxes, ain't nobody feeling no pain all right, Albert, did you feel like you just lost a thing, because that was a Willie Nelson song, remember your, he said, lost a thing, what did I do, oh, yeah, I'm gonna play a Willie Nelson song, yeah, I'm being told to quiet down here and stop causing trouble, don't make me reach back there, that's funny, it's really true that my dad really used it that way, that is funny, yeah, same dude, my dad, he just reached back and looking back seated in the station wagon, but I credit my dad for my love of Willie Nelson and Whalen for sure, I mean, he put it in us, you know, and even my sister and my brother, they really appreciate it, and now I infect my kids and that's a good thing too, yeah, what do you got, how many brothers, sisters, I got one sister in the middle, younger than me, Anissa, my brother Daniel, Danny, okay, and so there's three of us, so wait, you're the oldest or, I'm the oldest, yep, yep, cool man, everything got blamed on me, yeah, I have three sisters myself, I have one younger and then two older, one's five years older than me and then one's 18 months older than me and then five years younger than me, but I was the only boy, I was the only dude in my family man, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's interesting how like, you always wonder how does all that affect us, you know, does it make us strong, it obviously makes us stronger in some way, but how, like what's this, do you learn how to adapt, I'm one of five, I have an older sister, two older brothers and a younger brother, yeah, that's a lot of people and I was the baby until my younger brother was born and you were pissed, for sure, I was like, what the hell is this, fuck is this, but I'm really close, I'm, I'm very close to my younger brother and my older sister, yeah, dude, honestly, I'm, I'm very close to all my sisters, like younger, older, middle, yeah, it's a blessing, yeah, we're all close, we're on San Diego, which is awesome, brothers and power, sisters and Coronado, my parents, which they're probably one of five people that'll listen to this show, that I said, hey, check this out, but yeah, my parents, Rick and Lettie out in Coronado and then my brother is powering my sister's Coronado also, let's give a shout out to Rick and Lettie and then, yeah, I'm letting Rick and Lettie, who might be listening to this, who knows, they might be, and then my girlfriend Ilana is probably gonna listen and then my, my kids and maybe I'll get my friend, you know, get real some people in, that kid, so you're standing on the Mona radio, you're all about the native, so you're standing on the native of us, San Diego native, yeah, that's hard to come by, yeah, well dude, I'm gonna tell you I'm a San Diego native, Southern California native, I grew up in Long Beach, I grew up, well, I was born and she'll have us to get sublime credit, yeah, for sure. Long Beach double, sure, sublime, yeah, yeah, I'm a brat lee of all the songs to pick, that's what you, that's what you're saying. Well, it was sublime, anyway, no, I was born in San Diego, lived in Lakeside until I moved to South Carolina, now my whole family lives in South Carolina and, well, yeah, they all still live there since 1991. Yeah, his family's all gone, my family's all in, well, I have one brother in Oceanside, brother in Indiana, and then my younger brother, my sister, her husband and kids and my mom and dad are all in northern Texas. Wow, yeah, I guess I'm spoiled having everybody in San Diego. Well, they were, my whole family was here until about five years ago, was it COVID? No, they just, no, it's common, no, I'm just kidding. Yeah, so my sister moved in 2018 and my parents moved in 2019. Oh, actually, my parents moved in 2020 in January, right before COVID. But my mom is from Fort Worth, Texas, like that was the goal is was to always get back there eventually. Yeah. And that's cool. That's a beautiful thing too. I wouldn't moved, but we started dating in November and they moved in January and I was like, I think I'm gonna stay here and see what happens in it. Oh, I'll try. I'm gonna stay here with Travis. Oh jeez, that's awesome. It's worked out. My parents liked him enough to be like, okay, we can see it. We bless you staying here. Oh, yeah. Thank God. There's three seniors. Yeah, that's my joke. I said, if we ever broke up, I'd have to find a new family because I think they like him more than me at this point. Well, pretty cool dude. No. There's the only couple I know that actually pledged to never get married. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. They did the whole ceremony. I have a non-engagement. A non-engagement. That's a non-engagement. I said, will you not marry me? He did. When he gave it to me, he said, will you not marry me? I said, I will never not marry you. I will never marry you. Wait, you said you will never not marry me? No, I said, I will never marry you. Sorry. See, that's like a trick to the trick though. Like you thought you were going along. Yeah. I didn't know what I was siding up for, but I was gonna read the print. We're gonna get it. There is some fine print somewhere in this dang place. What the fuck? You never know what to write first. I have it in a five-in cabinet at home. You never know what you're signing up for. You know, that's a beautiful idea. You just gotta roll those dice and see what happens. Yeah. You can't you can't ask them after the bottle of gentleman. Jack, you're supposed to, you know, square that up before. Definitely. Five years later. I have made some really stupid promises and ideas after having drink. Yeah. Well, give me one. What do you got, Eric? Oh, yeah. Come on. Go for it. Me and my friends once, we were all hanging out and yeah. And we all thought it would be cool to have spent New Year's at like the downtown Hilton Hotel with the big balcony and like overlooking San Diego and I was gonna invite all my friends. I got this. I thought, we should all pitch in and get like the mega suite. I says, I'll call right now and I'll book it. And I did. Yeah. And then like a week before New Year's, they called me and they go, say, we just want to make sure you actually come and I go for what? We're gonna let that reservation go. Oh, so I was drunk. I was trying to be so nice. Like, I told her the truth. I says, I kind of vaguely remember talking about it. She goes, it'll be a hundred bucks to cancel. I go fine. Okay. Bye. But it'll be a hundred bucks to cancel or twenty five hundred for a room at the Hilton Hotel. Because I think all the people that agreed to pitch in don't remember either. So they're all. Yeah, that might have been a good deal with a hundred bucks. Yeah. Yeah. I think I got away. Easy. Twenty thousand dollars. Sweet. Yeah. Two bedroom. Yeah. Yeah. Penhouse. Sweet. Oh, man. Holy shit, moles. Three hundred dollar night parking. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Just park your parking cars. Like three hundred bucks. Wow. Yeah. Cassie and I always have my wife, Cassie and I always have to ask each other when some people say, are we really going to do that? And she goes, wait a minute. Was that a drinking idea? Or was that a real idea? If it's a drinking idea, it's 51% disqualified right there. A lot of those ideas happen on this show. Yeah. And we came up with a great idea on the break, didn't we? Well, you want to tell everybody the idea we came up with on the break? You're gonna have to remind us. I've been drinking Eric. Reminding, bro. Albert, where are we doing the 50th episode? Oh, yes. Julian Station. Oh, yeah. We're going to do what's my hearing. Yeah. All right. So we're going to do your 50th episode live 50th episode. Dude, the Travis Billy Ross Outlaw Contra Show 50th episode. What are we on right now? 20? What is this 24? 23. 23. I think. Yeah. Man, fucking hey, dude. Time passes by so fast. We're going to do it at Julian Station. Eric's going to play the didgeridoo. I'm going to have my didgeridoo. Yeah. I think that would be like a huge highlight. I knew you got somewhere. Albert's like, we're joking, but I think this can work. I know. Only if you promise to write a song for it. I do that. All right. Write a song. I seriously. The didgeridoo would be like the accent. I could do that. I love to write songs. All right. You let me know when it's ready. I'll I'll get a didgeridoo. It's right. And then we're going to need to crack it out. I need to come out. Yeah, right. So it'll be the theme song. Dude, me and Albert are going to write a song about this. Oh, yeah. Dude, we're in. I'm totally in. That sounds amazing. Hell yeah. Is this drinking idea or a real idea? Well, it's recorded right now on the Outlaw Contra Show. So all I got to do is re-listen to this episode. It was just 24/25. And then I got it. I got it. We could do this. Dude, let's do it, man. I'm in. I love writing. Hell yeah, dude. And that would be a creative project for us. We'd be challenged. It's got to be didgeridoo friendly, whatever we write. But yeah, maybe if it's not didgeridoo friendly, it'll be even cooler. Dude, it's great. Yeah, probably. Let's just make a badass. How about that? Okay. I'm down. Is that your polite way of saying I don't get to play? Let's get it. Dude, Eric, I want to go for it. You son of a bitch, son of a guy. I'm sorry. I mean, you're going to need to grab your guitar at some point and jump in on the song that we record because I want to hear you play. Nobody's ever heard you play Eric. He was trained by Van Halen. You said that I know he's been trained by Van Halen and I call Eddie. Wait, who you were? I call him. Is that the rumor? I got what's up, Biggie? Yeah, he's on an eBay. He's got this guy. That's how long he's been studying with Van Halen. Well, I mean, Robert Plant's on his like speed dial. So he's like, he's right there. He's like, what's up, Biggie? Is that what's up? What's up, Robert Plant? Teach me something. He's got connections to do. And then they have a Zoom musical. He's got connections to do. He's got connections to do. That's Jimmy Hendrix. I'm going to be fucking cool, man. Well, that'd be cool. Make that happen, bro. All right, we'll do it. 50th episode live at Julian Station. So I just got a message from Cassie. Approximately that date would be April 13th. What is that a week? What is April 13th? Oh, wow. I don't know what date is. I'm just saying I got the message. Fucking awesome. Sunday. Oh, it happens to be a Sunday. Well, how could be it? Oh, it happens to be a Sunday. Oh, that was going to be live. We're going to pay attention to details at this point. April 13th. That's what I got 2025. All right, I'm putting on a calendar now. So since we're talking about Eric, I want to know more about flying private jets. I mean, if that's really? Oh, yeah. Really? Me too, dude. I don't really know. What do you want to know? I mean, if it's appropriate for the show, I'm interested. Yeah. Okay. What do you got? I'm putting notes in here. Businessmen, celebrities, private citizens. He flies a lot of famous people around this country. I do that. He does the other people. Yeah. What happened, dude? Yeah. Yeah, he flies. That sounds fun. Yeah, so I fly private jet for a company out of Carlsbad. And I'm basically an Uber driver. But in the air, for fancy airplanes, high tech Uber, though. Yeah, it's pretty high tech. I get a little notification on my phone that says expensive Uber you'll ever take. Yeah. That's like eight brands. So I need you need to take six people to Dallas. And I show up and I have all six people to Dallas. I don't know what else to say. And you really, you really get a notification on your phone. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's like a Uber. That's how we make our show schedule. Him and Cassie look and she's like, Nope, you're fine. No, it's it's not exactly like Uber. It's not like it says, would you like to? It's like, you know, it's not like a sit around and it goes ding. Yeah. Somebody just asked for a ride. Were you willing to take it? No, I usually know a few days ahead of time. And my company says you will take it. So it's basically like that. Yeah. Set and stone. So do they leave? Are they allowed to leave you tips and check? Yeah. Yeah. I get good. It's pretty good tips. Yeah. Have you ever flown people 10 10% of a, you know, $5,000 an hour airplane is pretty good. Actually, obviously no. But I'm sure some people are very nice. And then some people are very nice. Yeah. You know, it depends on who you work for. I've worked for companies where they let any riffraff, you know, on the plane and they don't care. They'll just take the 10 bucks, you know? Yeah. I'm blessed in the company that I work for. They're like, no, if you're a schmuck, don't you just don't call us anymore. You're a which is really nice. So, that's why they stopped taking my calls. I knew. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. And by the way, Travis wants to shame on me. Schmuck. Yeah. By the way, Travis. Name dropping me. Don't help you get on the plane. I'm just saying. Not at all. I was just on a plane. I was wondering why they looked at me weird at Southwest. I was like, I know Eric, I'm on the plane. I'm on the plane. No, I know. I'm good friends with Eric. Go forth. And they're like, okay, you see that spot in the back of the plane? You're going to take that one. We're going to make you wait until everyone else boards. And then you get the last spot. Well, if you hadn't said Eric's name, they would have put you on the top of the plane. I don't know. We got a screw up. I mean, with my wings on flying the goddamn plane. What is the National Lampoon's and Edna on the car? Yeah. So, I have a funny story about airplanes like where you sit in the airplane. I had this dream once. I thought this would be a perfect Saturday night. Life's good. All right. So, something happens and I have got to get from point A to point B, right? I've got to go from like, I don't know, San Diego, San Antonio or whatever. And so, I go up to the ticket counter at the airport and I go, I've got to get on this airplane and they go, sorry, sir. We're all full. And I go, no, you don't understand. It's really important. It's like something like, I don't know, my mom died or something, right? They're like, and we go back and forth for a minute and she kind of looks to the set left and looks to the right and she goes, well, sir, we don't normally tell people. We technically have a third class section. If you really want to go that way, I'm like luggage. I go, I'll do it. I'm like, I don't care. So, I go, well, how much is the third class ticket? And she goes, it's $10. Come right here. Here's my tub box. Perfect. Actually, here's 20. Keep the change, right? She goes, okay. She she reached behind the counter and she hands me a folding lawn chair. And she goes, you'll need this to get on the plane. Yeah. So, I start walking. I start walking down. This might be one of the sketches we do. This is a dream. And so, I take my little folding chair and I go down the ramp and the stewardess sees my little chair and she goes, oh, your third class. I went, I don't care where I'm at. I honestly don't care. Sit me in the lavatory. Ten bucks. We got to go. Ten bucks. What are you going to do? So, we walk all the way to the back of the plane and there's a secret door in the back of the plane and she knocks, I don't like what little secret knock and somebody opens it up. And in the back, there's like five people sitting on lawn chairs in the back of the airplane. Dude, that's where I want to sit. I want to go there. I pay extra for that, right? Do we have like bungee cords for seatbelts or? No, I want to sit in the lawn chair area. It's a lawn chair. Do they have, did they have beers and like, like, and they had you a little six cooler. And they got a visual little cooler. And there was this cute little girl in there and she was like, just kind of looked up at me and I says, I got a little Bluetooth speaker. Let's turn on some tunes. Did we turn that whole place into a party in the back there? We were having fun. Anyway, that'd be good. I like that dream. They should offer third class with a lawn chair seated. I would sit there. The only thing I don't want to do is sit in the emergency exit. I feel like, obviously, I've never been on a plane where that's needed to be used. There's a lot of pressure. The emergency exit. Like, to be responsible for helping everyone else. You're the only person I know that would say no. You don't like sitting there? No, and not only do I not like sitting there. I got the legs from my room. I do the early, I usually fly Southwest, so I do the pre-board so I can make sure that I can pick my seat. So I do not sit, uh-huh. Wow. Picture all first. Well, I think. I don't know. Is that how it works? No, you have to help everyone else. I mean, honestly. But then you have to help everyone else. No, honestly. So a lot of pressure. Is that, is that? Okay. So I'm sitting in the emergency row, right? Okay. And sh*t sh*t goes down. I mean, did they cut you off with drinks in the emergency room? No, they don't. Like, we need you to be responsible. I was just sitting there last week when I was sitting in the- I know, that's the funny part. They don't cut the, they don't cut the emergency exit off. They don't cut me off. I had like nine f*cking jack and gokes. But anyway, so I was like- It was a two hour flight. You had that many? That was a real thing. Like, if that was a real thing, it's a bit- Okay. Uh, Bob, excuse me, sir. We're gonna need you to go ahead and open this door and blubber blub and let people out and be like, "I'm f*cking drunk." I don't think it's that calm. I wasn't planning to drive. I didn't sign anything for this. They just wanted a verbal thing when they go and say, "Are you okay to actually do this? I'm gonna need a verbal recognition." Yeah, I was- And you say, "Yes, I am." Meanwhile, Flight 726 from San Antonio, 47 people died, would have only been zero if Travis would have just helped him out and not been drunk. It was all my fault. Hey, it's Gary Lang's fault. It is, man. And it's not like they actually go, "Do you understand, like, at all?" Nobody listens to him. No. I have my headphones in. I'm beyond this. Yeah. Okay. Yep. I just need a verbal confirmation. Yes. I fly to Mexico a lot to go surfing. And so they do the instructions in English and Spanish. Do you Spanish? So I'm always not paying attention once in English. And then the Spanish comes on. I'm like, "Damn it. I gotta, like, follow this." Do you speak Spanish or no? I'm working. I'm doing Duolingo. I'm in Duolingo. Oh, there you go. I'm in Duolingo. I did that too. Yep. Nice, dude. So you go surfing? I go surfing. Hell, yeah. He'll really surf. Where do you like to go? Down to Mexico. I'm in a surf anywhere, but in Mexico. No, like, deep all the way towards- Oh, on the mainland side. Not the Baja side. Well, mainland side. Nice. Yeah. Really fun. Little town down there. And it's like Julian on the beach. I love it. Yeah. I actually fly a lot of people in Mexico to surf. Both my older brothers and my dad surf. No one else in my family surfs. Surfing's awesome. Yeah. It's a great thing. There's been a lot of times. I'm like, of course, they ask me, like, "Oh, the surfboard, don't fit in the baggage compartment." Right? Yeah. They go, "Just put it on the top of the plane. Just fly." No. They're like, "Can we put it in the aisle?" I'm like, "You're paying for the plane. I don't care. Go to wherever you want." That's cool. You got bungee cords. Because they limit you on how long of a board you can take. So you could take a 10-foot board. That's amazing. Because they'll stop you at, like, 9-foot-1. Yeah. I took a group of people. Actually, it was technically the owner of the airplane. For those that are going to be, like, ridiculously following the rules, this is a part 91 flight. So anyway, but he owns the airplane. And so when he's not using the airplane, he charges it up. But this time he was using it. He was taking all of his friends to Fiji to go surfing. Nice. So I had to take him from Carl's bed to LA to catch his flight. And he's like, "And the boards just kept coming. And the boards just kept coming." And I'm like, "What are you doing?" And he goes, "Won't fit in there. Put it inside." I'm like, "All right. I had a board between me and the co-pilot." I'm like, "Yeah. You got your red arm resting on a board." That's awesome. Of course, my co-pilot almost sent my bag to Fiji with the passengers, which sucks. Yeah, that was suck. That's another story. Holy shit, man. You guys got some great stuff. So I have an idea. So some tunes. And we come back. Let's see if Albert can take on Kirby and then a little name that tune. Gosh, that's a lot. That's pressure. Name that tune. Let's go. You got to pick out the century. Oh, yeah. You got to pick a decade. But you got a few songs to think about it. 60s, 60s, 70s, 70s. So you limited it to a decade. Yeah. Okay. Sounds like fun. I mean, I think I'm up against some serious companies. Let's give that. Let's give that a go. Oh, yeah.

Some of the guy. Oh man, that's fine. I was just laughing on the break right now because Eric decided he wanted to do an Australia. Well, you should explain what just happened. I grabbed the big... He was trying to do a didgeridoo. A didgeridoo with PVC. Yeah, with PVC pipe. He's got like a 12-foot long piece of PVC pipe, but he's blowing it. And he's like, "Whoa!" But see, that's the beginnings. This is the... We all start somewhere. We all start somewhere. You know, I found that. You started on guitar here, though. You did that key of that thing and I think it was cheese. If I'm gonna say it was cheese somewhere. Well, here's an example. When I was a little kid, my dad had a surfboard and we were at a lake and I put it in like six inches of water and I just stood on it. But it felt amazing. I'm like, "This is the beginnings." Yeah, there you go. So, PVC pipe, that's it. And now you're fucking flying 12-foot waves. Yeah, that's it. Fucking amazing. So everything starts somewhere. Oh yeah, that's funny. Uh-oh. Oh shit, are we gonna do it? This is some time. Here we go. Is that the time? Man, man. Oh, wow. All right. Let's go like I'm on a game show. We're on a game show right now. Let's do this. So we're gonna let Albert pick out the decade. What decade did you show? I'm gonna go 70s. 70s? All right, so here's the rules. Okay. When Eric is, he's gonna automatically put in 70s. It's gonna generate songs. He's gonna play them. Okay. To bring in and say the song, you have to say your name. So Albert Herbie Travis. Your name is your bell. First one? Your name is your name. So like if you hear it and you know the song, Albert. So I say my name. You're gonna have five seconds. Travis Herbie, but like whatever one they heard first. So five seconds, you can name the song or the artist. Or the artist song or artist. If you get one of those, you get an additional five seconds to name the other. So if you get the song, you get another five seconds to name the artist vice versa. Okay. Why do we wait till we've had the whiskey and then do this? Oh, it's a hell lot more fun. Wait, Albert. Yeah. So then after that, it opens it up to the rest of us. You brought some other kind of wine. What is this? What is it? I'm trying to explain the rules, alcoholic. I know. He's a curse. He's got us a little nightcare. We don't do rules. I'm trying to get drunk here. You should finish the rules. Go ahead. Then I'll. Well, that's pretty much it. That's pretty much it. That's pretty much the rules. I'm just trying to be dramatic. Dramatic, right. So this is a, break it down, break it down. This is a Julian Winery fortified wine. We named it warm heart, right? Warm heart? No, you say fortified wine. What do you mean, fortified? Fortify-wide means it's like it's got alcohol. So you make the wine and you're allowed to add brandy to bring up the alcohol level. Otherwise. So what is the percentage of your port or your fortified wine? See, it says 19, only 19.0. That's 19% alcohol. And so it's got some sugar. So most wines don't have sugar. They're dry, but this has got some sugar. And it's got some residual sugar, they call it. And it's got more alcohol than normal. And it's aged. You kind of abuse it, which is fun. Because wine, everybody's so worried for a good reason about how you care for wine. Fortified wines in my book, at least the way I approach it, is you just beat the heck out of it. You do everything wrong. Do it, man. And that makes it good. That makes it good for us. You know what, man, not too often. We get Albert Lewis on our show tonight. So let's, dude, whatever you recommend, my bro. Let's go. And I want some of that stuff. I don't know. I can't pour myself first. Somebody give me their glass here. Kirby, let's go. All right, sweet curves. You got to pass that, pass that around. And so you, you know, you go to last because it's a lot of alcohol. All right. That's right here. That's a lot of alcohol. I like the sound of the glass. Yeah, through the microphone. That's the way to do it. Yep. These cups are amazing. Oh, she's bringing her first. You've been able to thank you. God dang it. That's her amazing. Sorry, you're at least knocked my microphone with the glass. All right. You've got fucks, sakes. All right. Do we roll? Fucks, sakes. All right. For fucks, sakes. We all got? Hey, Albert, thank you for joining us, brother. Thank you. But we're going to do a little trivia here. But while we got our glasses up. Yeah, cheers. You're all the reason to celebrate tonight. Thank you, my friends. We say cilantro. I appreciate it. Cilantro. Cilantro. I love it. Hey, bird's home. Yeah, cheers. All the way across the rain. All the way over there. God dang it. Wait, pass that over there to Albert real quick, so we can get a cheers on mine. Thank you, cheers. Bang, bang, bang. Bam. There it is. Ooh, yum. Good. That's not as like, um, it's, um. That's where people might think the studio is huge, but we're. It's not so sweet. This is about 5%. A lot of times it's 9, 10%. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. It's a dryer. It's not a dryer. It's candy. Dryer fortified. All right. We got to get, we're on an out of time here. We're going to do this. We better do it. Albert did have a question though. Can you do a combined era? Can you do 80s and 70s or just one? Okay. No, well, you picked like 70s and then 80s, but whatever. Perfect. Yeah. We only got like three minutes left here, so. All right. Everybody keep on talking. All right. Go. Go. Go live. All right. That's done. It is? Shove it. Shove it. All right. You got two points for Kirby. All right. You guys ready? See how this works now? Yeah. Well, that wasn't back yet. Yes. All right. I wasn't ready either, man. Here we go. Nobody? Wait. Wait. Albert, go ahead. Real high. It is? Five seconds. You know the name of the song? I don't.

So Albert, don't feel bad or anything. She kicks my ass every time. I want to study for next round. No. I literally tell them. I'm gonna stay sober. Is that a word? Is that a word? In my card. When they play it, I try to yell it out before I look at my radio to see what's playing. She studies. She's a school girl. It's Travis. Travis? Say goodnight. All right, man. Albert, dude. Thank you so much for hanging out with us. Thank you for having me. That was fun. That was a good. Super fun. Hell yeah. Yeah, yeah. Sweet curbs. You are the winner. Undisputed. Every time. Kirby.
