Speaker 1 (00:49):
I wanted to start out with I felt this was fun.
How do you know when you're really old? And there
was five ways that you know when you're an old person,
when you've crossed the threshold.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I'm worried there's a slight chance I have ticked more
of these, uh more of these on the list than
you have. I feel like.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
We'll see, well, see if one of these I mean,
this would be an honest check for Puma. This will
be honest check for everybody. I've done all these now
I've got them all, all five. So I'm going to
start out with number five. Some point in your week
in the last say, two weeks, you've actually said out loud, well,
this music sucks.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I'm a snob. I'm a bit of a music snob.
I been doing that one for a while. I think
I was doing that one at fourteen years old.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Okay, so that one you checked off, all right, The
latest and if you use.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
The word bombshell, we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
The latest hottie that everybody's talking about looks like a
child to you. This happened to me my daughter when
she was in college and her little college friends. You know,
they're wearing a little skimpy they look like children. I mean,
they were like little kids. It was creepy for me.
You know, I'm going, When I was your age, I
thought y'all were it. Y'all were the hottest things ever.
(02:07):
But now I'm looking at it, I'm going.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Good lord that you know, don't wear that. That's terrible.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
You know, this is where A couple of times here
lately when uh, you know, I've been out at the
bar and I see a girl walk up to order
a drink and I'm like, there's no way that person
is twenty one.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Three minutes later, I see them with frozen margarita in
their hands. I'm just like, what the hell? Like how old?
Like hell, there's no way you're a day over sixty. Like,
there's your ted nugent.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It just is the creepiest thing.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Ever, when you start thinking like, god, you know, at
some point I would have thought that was you know.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Then you could just go the Bill Belichick route, and yeah,
be your age and dating a girl you met when
she was nineteen.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Now that girl don't look like no child.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
God, it's a little different.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
That's a little different. How is that different? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
But yeah, don't ask me to explain. It's not gonna
it's not gonna be a it's not gonna be an
explanation that you find convincing.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I promise.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
When you see is number three, When you see a
kid in the neighborhood, you immediately are suspicious. You're not
You're not like, oh, kids you're like, what's he doing?
What's that kid doing? You know, you're you're he's a suspect,
not a neighbor anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
And this is where I think it's the you know
that is as much of the environment you grew up in,
because like you know, you know, country folk growing up,
I'm not inherently trusting a stranger I see walking on
the county road or walking in the neighborhood. I think,
you know, obviously in in you know, big city environments,
(03:49):
you're not You're not necessarily rushing to make friends with
every stranger. You're You're cautiously observing them.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
You're an old guy.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Brushed off like I'm not old, I'm just.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Special. Every one of these you've been making excuses for that.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I'm gonna mark it down as is one of the
five A is you're making excuses, all right, this one,
this one's hit me hard. Dere at iHeart uh, all
your coworkers, all of your co workers, including Puma, are
half my age.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I mean that is, you know, I'm sixty seven, and
I'm thinking, like.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Tommy, you know, my producer Tommy is uh he just
graduated ut congratulations, by the way, what a great kid too,
just an absolute great I mean there's some young people
that are wonderful out there.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Uh, Puma, how old are you now, Boom, You're.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I'm thirty nine.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
See you're you're almost forty.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, you're still thirty nine, which you point that out
to me every night.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I'm only thirty.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Nine, really firmly in my thirties.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
But and I'm sixty seven. So once again, my co
host me is twenty I mean years younger, twenty twenty years.
So that's a kid man Wayne and Tay everybo kids
with Tay's like thirty three or four.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I mean that's you know, and I knew Tay's dad.
That's another said.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah, that's when you really start to feel it when
you know. The last board op I had on the
show was a kid that was just graduating college, and
that like when I would talk music with him, that
was like the one thing where it was like at
least at least I still know all of the music
(05:37):
he listens to. So I don't feel that old. But
there was obviously a cultural divide there.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I didn't know anybody.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Wayne and Tay they knew all those people in Nashville.
I didn't know any of those singers, you know, they
were like they were interviewing Zoe and Zoe and I go, yeah,
I don't I remember Jelly Roll had all the markings
on his face.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Oh yeah, yeah that was I thought that's country.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Well, I don't know. But then they said the same
thing about whaling and all them back when they roll
as you know out dealt perspective.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, okay, the number one. This is the number one.
And I'm big on this. Every time you stand or sit,
you go okay, all right, every time again are down
either one, let me know my excuse.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I am a six foot for two hundred and twenty
pound guy. Like it's getting up and sitting down is
not as easy, you know, five ten, Like there's a
lot of movement going on here, and it works. I've
got I got joints and these that are falling apart,
(06:51):
like it's.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You're old when you become very defensive about how old.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Point if you rush to defend every attribute that suggests
you were an old fart.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Who was getting ready to tell me to get out
of his yard.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Here I got I'm looking at some kids through the window. Here,
I'm about where are y'all going?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Who are you. Who are you? Why aren't you?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
That's about anytime I see a protest or a ride
or any of his protesters, I'm like, why, how are
you able to have the energy after working all day
to go down and do it. Turns out a lot
of those people don't work.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
One of those people that is their work.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, well that's either paid, but for doing that. Yeah,
that's that's true. All right.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Well that's a good one to end on right there.
To the two old guys, thank you.
