Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
See, maybe you need some weird name like that. You know, Hunter Buss. I mean, it's a great name for you and being my son, and I appreciate it. It doesn't exactly make the brain tingle, I know. Well, I mean, you know, if you look at this model, I mean, maybe, you know, you should be, you know,
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
The 30-pound monster. Yeah, but that name comes with a lot of responsibility if you're going to be Einstein. That's true. I might not want to go there. So what is the next episode? What are we going to see?
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead. Yeah. So what has been the most popular? Which episodes have the most viewers to them?
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
I was just having a little fun trying to find you a girlfriend. That's all. And we're not going to go into that here on the show. No, we're not. But I was just stirring it up. And, you know, we had several – I was shocked several ladies – young ladies watching the stream that sent in pictures of their sister. No comment.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Well, I was trying to get your viewers up. Yeah, well, it did. It worked. You stirred the pot. I mean, the dating game and, you know, all these bachelorettes and bachelor shows. I mean, they draw in the numbers. People love that stuff.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
So you're going to go out and do all the production on this? Yeah, I guess so. I was waiting on you to finish that off. I don't know. Who's going to be following Hunter around on dates, running the audio?
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
I hear that happens here in this part of the world. Well, I do too.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
You learn all kinds of things as you're hanging out here at the lake. Have you ever heard the term the freaks come out at night? Yeah.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
So what's going to be, what game are you reviewing the next episode? And tell everybody where they can find it.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
I want to stay on daylight savings time year-round, period. I don't mind the sun being up at 830. I do mind being in total darkness at 430 in December. I've mentioned this many times before, but just to recap. We are the easternmost state in Central Time Zone. So in December, it gets dark at 430. I have relatives that live in Texas. I have spoken with them.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Well, I would say this, from seasons past, it can only get better. I mean, there is a point where you're so bad, you go, well, it can't get any worse than this. And so that's something to look forward to. And I know you're a big fan.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Because if not, it's going to be a real mess, and we're going to have a disappointed sales team.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Hunter, thank you for joining us. You'll be a reoccurring person here on the show. Yeah. So we'll get to hear a lot from you. And we're looking forward to it. I love you. I appreciate the man you've become. I appreciate your spirit. And you're strong in that. And that means more than anything to me as a dad.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Go on there. There they are. There's the dogs. You know, we appear to have a lot of people come to the door here at our house. But anyway, we almost made it out of the segment. We were mere seconds. But Hunter, thank you. And we're looking forward to that. Check that out. Follow. Subscribe. Do all that stuff. You know the deal. And we appreciate it. You're listening to Bubba on the Lake.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
All right, folks, we're back at Bubba on the Lake. This next segment is a recorded segment that originally I had not planned on playing. Our good friend Meg Wilson Bryant dropped by, and we were just playing with the equipment, working on it, seeing how it was going to work. And it ended up being a real fun segment, so I wanted to share it with you now.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Here is Meg Wilson Bryant when she dropped by the house, and we were testing the equipment. We're back here at the Back Porch Studio, and joining us is old friend, my buddy, I knew her as Meg Wilson, but technically your name is Meg Bryant.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Megalove. Yeah. What a great nickname, Megalove.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
So just to clarify, you're not married. You're not attached right now.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
You know, this is not the personal ad show, Meg. I don't want to be.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
You got the white comeback for that. I knew. It's coming up.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Uh-oh. It didn't go good. His last name wasn't Bryant, was it? No. That was a different blind date.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
And also joining us, the lovely Betty Lou. Hello. Hey, babe.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
And quite frankly, I think one of the luckiest, too.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
And we've talked about it. I said all along, Betty needs her own podcast.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
And we had talked about Betty Say What, but we never really got around to doing it because we all had other jobs. And I couldn't get Hunter to do it. So, you know, it became a problem.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Betty Say What is great. We're in a situation now that we can, you know, if all this goes well, we can scale it up. Betty can do her own podcast.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
I mean, let's face it. Everybody's doing a podcast.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
I mean, if you ain't doing one, you're the oddball out. I mean, it's like not having a tattoo now. Oh, yeah.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Doesn't get dark there in December to 630, which is totally acceptable because the seasons cause more and less light anyway. But there are people that don't like this idea, apparently. I don't know who they are. I run into one every now and then. But even President Trump called it a 50-50 issue. So I want to bring this forward.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
So we were going to have a party. You blow it out.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Betty, let's get our titles right before we start kissing. Okay.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Betty, this is a family podcast. It's a family podcast. All right.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Well, I just wanted to set the table so people would know who you were and what you were about. And, you know, so everyone that stalks people on podcasts would know to contact you.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
We have a lot of options. And I said, you know, if we want to really take this podcast to the next level, there's two or three about good Christian marriage out there. But I don't think I can cut Betty loose with a microphone.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Well, even though this is a podcast and it doesn't fall under the FCC regulations for broadcasters, I feel like we'd have to use that a lot.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Based on our pay rate, it doesn't look good right now.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
You'd hear a little breeze blowing because the breeze is blowing. We're outside. We literally are outside, and we've got about a 90-degree view of Lake in front of us, which is kind of nice.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
In the art of negotiation, why don't we move it forward 30 minutes, call it even, and never change the clock again? Anyone? Anybody? Anybody on board with that? We can work this out. Matter of fact, there's more votes coming in as we speak. I really don't know why it's doing that or how. Trying to find that button. I'm not even sure what's beeping in here now.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Yeah. Okay. That's got to happen. I thought we weren't going to cover that.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Look, he can't help he's got cool parents, okay?
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Listen, I didn't have that. I didn't have that. So, you know, it was kind of cut and dried at our house.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
And she can't stand up. That's what's even funnier. I mean, she can, but it's with a walker.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Yeah. You ever seen a comedian with a walker? And I mean, really need it. It's not a prop.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
If you've heard her bit about the chicken in the movie, it's quite the showstopper at the family events, I'll tell you. Yeah. But I love that so much.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Thank goodness. More her than her dad. Her dad was a little harsh. He was a little rough. Rough cut.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
And I feel guilty that I'm hoarding it all. And I think the world needs to be involved in this a little bit.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
So tell us, since you're dropping by to visit, and we're glad you did, a lot of our friends that drop by are now going to be on the podcast. That's how we're going to schedule guests. Oh, look, a new guest is coming down the driveway. Who is it?
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
It is. Over the hood of your car, you see the hood of the house and the lake. Yes. And you can't tell where you're going.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
You just kind of ease over and it's like a teeter-totter. You go down, and then you see where you're going, and then you drive on down.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Betty, we've got to get her not to do sound effects right into the microphone. Look, it's learning. We were trying to take some pictures out here yesterday. And Betty is from the I take pictures with my girlfriends and none of us want to look, you know, overweight or anything. So she's on her tiptoes holding the phone like 100 miles high. And I said, Betty, that may work for the girls.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
It's really not our shot because I'm under an umbrella now called my hat. You can't see me or, you know, you need to get down here.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
We'll be back in just a second. Meg Bryant-Wilson, or whatever she's called now, is here.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Better known as Megalove. She's here with Betty and I, and we'll be right back. You're listening to Bubba on the Lake. We'll be right back.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
But couldn't we just land on that 30 minutes, split the difference, we'll call it even. Uh, if we're not going to get a win, really the win to me is not the time, even though I hate being dark at four 30 in December, it's changing the clocks twice a year. A lot of the clocks change themselves now, and that is just dandy, but there's a lot of them that don't.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
It is Bubba on the Lake, and thank all of you for tuning in and being part of this podcast. Now, we're going to go ahead and hold the show and wrap it up right here. I have another interview, but it's going to run us way long, and I don't want to get into that here. I do want to thank all of you again for your support.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
We ask that you go out and subscribe, like, follow, do all that stuff that you're supposed to do online. That will help us out greatly as we continue to grow this podcast and be able to bring more and more things to you. We've got some really cool interviews coming up on the next few episodes. We don't want you to miss a minute of it. I thank Hunter for stopping by.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Betty is always being a part of the show. And Meg Wilson Bryant, better known as Megalove. Meg is going to be helping us too, some on the side. And we appreciate her. We appreciate you guys. Thank you. Love you. And we will talk to you again the next time we sail into port.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
And a lot of them apparently at my house are in difficult places to get to and require ladders. So it's just it takes you a year or an hour, I should say, twice a year to get all these things set. And look, folks, there's more to this than we just think it's a bad idea. Everybody kind of gets that feeling when you change the clock.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
And there's a reason if you look at the stats and there's a lot of studies on this. But I will say the middle of the road is that when we lose an hour, when we lose an hour in the fall, heart attack, strokes, and other ailments that send you to the emergency room goes up by 24%. Okay? Heart attack, strokes, those kind of things, 24% increase. Okay? the day after we tamper with the clock.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
In the spring, when you would add an hour the other time of the year, you actually have 21% less problems at the emergency room. So, when you, I'm even confused now, are we spring forward? In the fall, we fall back, we lose an hour. In the fall, the problem actually goes down 21%. See how confusing it is? It's just a nightmare.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
And when I used to work in the TV business and had to work overnights, when 2 o'clock hit, it was total confusion. You didn't know you had to go back and relive an hour. You had to miss an hour. I can only imagine the problem that the airline people have when this happens. What a nightmare. They've already got to deal with time zones. Now you're shifting the time zones.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to Bubba on the Lake. I'm your semi-retired, mostly washed-up host, formerly of the Rick and Bubba Show, Bill Bubba Bussey. I want to take just a minute before we start today And say a special thank you for all of the very kind emails, texts, comments on various social media about the first episode and being back out there, so to speak. Very, very thoughtful.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
What about people, and I know this firsthand from my wife, Betty, being a former nurse, the fact of people giving medicine in the hospital. You're supposed to get your medicine every four hours. Oh, my gosh. Don't you know that's a head-scratcher? I mean, the nurses have this pattern down, and now they shift it an hour, one way or the other. Y'all, it's so archaic. I really can't believe...
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
along with this gender argument, that we're still even discussing these. There's plenty of other problems out there we can fight about, argue about, debate. We're not going to run out of issues, folks. We've got plenty. I cannot believe that this is still on the table. It's just bizarre to me. I can't get over it.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
I thought for sure we would solve this in my lifetime, and here we are, tampering with the clock again. And I don't know about y'all. I got one on the microwave. It's a nightmare. That thing, I mean, it's like trying to solve Rubik's Cube to set the clock. I mean, didn't you like that, Dandy Don? So, yeah, it's just, can we consensus? I'm good. 30 minutes. I'm good.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Can show of hands, everybody else, we all vote for that. Let's go for 30. All right, folks, we have a lot to cover today. We have an interview with my son Hunter coming up. We're trying to run my daughter Caitlin down as we reintroduce everybody from my family here to the podcast. And again, thank you so much for your support of the first episode and hopefully many, many more.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
So we have a lot going on. We'll be back right after this commercial break. And again, we thank these sponsors and we ask that you do too. You're listening to Bubba on the Lake.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Hey, folks, you're back. It's Bubba on the Lake, and sitting down with me is the lovely Betty Lou. Betty, how are you?
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
And joining us as we continue to reintroduce our family to you is Hunter Bussey. Hunter, how are you? Uh-oh. How's it going? Good. Glad to have you. Yeah, glad to be here. So everybody always wants to know what you kids are doing. So catch everybody up. Where do you work at and what are you doing now?
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
and they are a sponsor here above on the lake and we appreciate that uh they're very thankful yes we are they do a great job and we're glad to have them on and please let them know how much you appreciate them supporting this program now hunter um not only do you have that uh but you have agreed to help me with above on the lake part-time away from work we're not going to do it during work hours obviously but at night and primarily on the weekend you're going to help us out right
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Yeah. Now, what all are you – can you edit? I guess we need to ask that question. Yeah, I can edit. Are you pretty good with GarageBand, Logic Pro, all that stuff? Yeah. You know, I use GarageBand a lot. It's just easy. You know, I mean, you could do Logic Pro and some of the bigger ones, but it's really not necessary.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
You know, that's the thing. I mean, the new model for everything media-wise, even podcasting or broadcast or whatever, is lean and mean, man. It ain't like the old days, you know. No. It's very everybody kind of separated. You know, you're in your little pod and you do your kind of thing. And, you know, having the big building with a big – you know, work center and offices everywhere.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Very, very kind. And Betty and I both were very much touched by it. Thank you. That did mean a lot. And we appreciate it. As a matter of fact, there's somebody sending another one right then. It's the gift of encouragement. We talked a little bit about it. It's very important. And some of you have a gift for it. And we really, really appreciate it.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
It's kind of, kind of not the, you know, the modeling. That's obsolete.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Well, it really is. And, uh, as long as you can get everything done and, uh, shoot everything around online, um, you know, it, it saves a lot of time. You don't have to get out and drive and, uh, and do a lot of that stuff. So, uh, Hunter, not only that, you're going to be helping me produce this podcast. I am. And there's a lot of phases of that. There's the getting guests in here.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
There's the preparing. There's the actual post-production of everything, which I will be leaning on you heavy for. But you also are doing some other projects, too, that I think are kind of interesting and kind of go with the times that we're in. Tell us a little bit about being on the meltdown.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
You know, I met Tim, and I told him I used to listen to him. He used to be on Jocks, and then they had a show in the afternoon, kind of late. And I used to hear them coming in from the farm all the time. I'd go down there and bush hog or whatever on the way in. I would listen to them. They did a great job, but I had no idea.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
I mean, I knew they said he was a big guy, but when I met him, he is a mountain. I mean, it ought to be about him.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
I mean, every time y'all talk about him, he's so tall. It ought to be called the mountain meltdown. I told him, I said, man, I could be a thousand yard rusher behind you. They'd never even see me. Yeah. But I've watched the podcast.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Now, I noticed that the episode I was watching not too long ago, you're the Star Wars expert. Apparently, yeah. Or movie expert. Why am I not shocked? What all boxes do you check on that show?
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Well, I'll be honest with you. We were at a junction where we were trying to move from Thomas the Train.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
And Percy. And one of the problems, Hunter couldn't say Percy correct. So that was always a problem. That was always a problem out in public. That's a family show. Well, I know, and this is a family story. So I was looking for something to do.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
to bring you along just a little bit so I could enjoy watching it with you because frankly, Thomas, the train was wearing on me just a little bit at that point. So I did show you the star Wars and oh my gosh, you never looked back.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
I still have them too. I think you watched them so much that the metal came off. Yeah. You know, I think it's just like a piece of plastic now. It doesn't even play.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Oh, yeah. You had to have the battle while you were watching. So it was so cute. It was cute. It really was. And then you've also got this channel now, and I've watched you a couple of times. I like getting in the chat room and messing around with everybody.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Yeah. What is this channel thing? I know this happens, but I don't really understand it. So explain it to us.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
So I've heard about this. So you play video games and you are online and people can see you and they can see what you're doing on the screen. Mm-hmm. And that's all it really is, right? They're just watching you play video games.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
All right, I want to get right into what's going on. This week, as we're recording this podcast, we set the clocks forward again as we sprang forward. We lost an hour. And this thing, we have ranted about this for, gosh, 40 years now. And to no good. We're still tampering with the clocks twice a year. And to me, it's just an absolute no-brainer.
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
So that's the other question. What's... What format do you use? What equipment? How are you doing this? Because I will get email. How's Hunter doing that?
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
So you were telling me about people who did this and made, like, just boo-coodles of money, right?
Bubba On the Lake
Clocks, Hunter, and our friend Meg
Like, who are examples of people you want to be like doing this?
