[00:01:03] agent parents and most importantly, what's up with North Carolina and Hickory in particular?
[00:01:10] So what's up with Hickory in particular? You're asking me.
[00:01:13] Yeah. I thought there was some other podcast that I didn't know. I thought it was a pause.
[00:01:17] I thought it was build up for something. In podcasting that's called Segways.
[00:01:20] No, you did some work on that. I missed it. No, you didn't. I missed it.
[00:01:24] I think we missed it. Yeah, well, I definitely did.
[00:01:27] Don't look at me out of the answer either.
[00:01:30] It's one of those things where we don't do this for a living or do we?
[00:01:33] Do we podcast for a living? No, well, thankfully.
[00:01:36] I mean, Mark and I have day jobs.
[00:01:38] Yeah, thank goodness. We all have, we all wear different hats around.
[00:01:41] Exactly. So what's been going on in your lives, man? How's the fan?
[00:01:46] Oh, well, you know, good spring breaks coming into the school year.
[00:01:50] It's all that wonderful stuff wrapping up.
[00:01:52] Exculectivities, kid activity, sports, all that great thing.
[00:01:55] Well, there's warming up. Thank goodness.
[00:01:58] Yeah, we're getting there.
[00:01:59] Yeah.
[00:01:59] Mark, how's everything in your world, bro?
[00:02:01] Going great. We're running full blast over there.
[00:02:03] Yeah, that's great.
[00:02:04] As a big baseball fan, I'm glad Major League Baseball finally worked out
[00:02:08] of their issues back on the field.
[00:02:10] The billionaire is a millionaire split in our money.
[00:02:13] That's right.
[00:02:14] So I'm glad they finally figured out how they're going to divide out all of our money.
[00:02:17] It's not happy, but it'll work.
[00:02:19] Yeah, they'll figure it out.
[00:02:20] So someone formerly in the minor league baseball ranks was
[00:02:23] the strike going to directly affect minor league teams too,
[00:02:27] or was it just for the Major League clubs?
[00:02:29] It was technically a lockout.
[00:02:30] Well, I mean, they're all connected and
[00:02:32] because the owner's locked the players out.
[00:02:34] The player's going strike.
[00:02:35] Right.
[00:02:36] So just in case anybody's out there listening to make sure we get that correct.
[00:02:39] Surely.
[00:02:40] But it was not though.
[00:02:41] The cradads were playing it on playing.
[00:02:42] So all the only thing it would affect it if players were on the 40 man roster,
[00:02:46] they would not been able to play which at this level,
[00:02:49] high a chance of you having on somebody on the 40 man roster.
[00:02:52] That's on the 40 man roster at any point last year?
[00:02:54] No, they have to currently are on the when the lockout,
[00:02:56] the day the lockout hit their 40 man was if you were on the
[00:02:59] yeah, it was basically their 40 man roster was frozen at that point.
[00:03:02] So mostly some triple A possibilities more than like that?
[00:03:05] Yeah, triple A.
[00:03:06] Triple A guys maybe a couple double A guys,
[00:03:08] but probably no cradads most likely.
[00:03:12] So yeah, they wouldn't affect the cradads at all.
[00:03:14] They were rare and to go regardless.
[00:03:16] Might actually have done them a little bit of a deal a bit of good.
[00:03:19] You know, if you don't have big leagues going people might go to more my league games,
[00:03:23] but it all work out.
[00:03:24] When does that season start?
[00:03:25] Is it getting ready kickoff?
[00:03:27] Kickoff first pitch.
[00:03:28] First pitch kickoff kickoff.
[00:03:30] Kickoff first pitch.
[00:03:31] They actually played on Tuesday the 29th.
[00:03:35] The play against LR.
[00:03:35] Well, they didn't play but AppState played UNC Asheville out there.
[00:03:39] Okay.
[00:03:39] On that night and then they play the cradads pay LR on Tuesday the 5th.
[00:03:46] And then they're open on the road on Friday the 8th.
[00:03:49] Okay.
[00:03:50] And they open it home on Tuesday the 12th at 6 o'clock actually.
[00:03:54] Dollar hot dog and $2.
[00:03:56] This may be our I'm not even getting this man does not even have the schedule up.
[00:04:02] I like getting every music video.
[00:04:04] It's going to be hard for me to recite those dates like that.
[00:04:07] Well, you live it after after after 12 seasons.
[00:04:10] You know, after you do 12 summers and
[00:04:13] sure some 12 seasons of music,
[00:04:15] you're gonna you're gonna know 100% you'll know what Lord Willen and the Creek don't rise.
[00:04:19] There you go.
[00:04:20] For sure.
[00:04:22] Yeah, I'm looking forward to going back out to the ballpark this year.
[00:04:25] Just seen like we with COVID and everything else last couple years
[00:04:28] that we were it was it was stunted.
[00:04:30] It was weird.
[00:04:31] It was weird.
[00:04:32] It was open.
[00:04:33] It was still just weird.
[00:04:34] It was just it was hot.
[00:04:35] People weren't showing up or do they wear masks?
[00:04:37] I don't know.
[00:04:38] Yeah, I was just.
[00:04:38] Some seats were taped.
[00:04:40] It was just a weird deal.
[00:04:41] I got a message for Douglas.
[00:04:43] They're coming.
[00:04:44] They're coming.
[00:04:45] They're coming.
[00:04:45] They're going to be there.
[00:04:46] I went to that abstract game.
[00:04:47] There's about a thousand people there.
[00:04:49] Nice.
[00:04:49] A lot of a lot of black and gold there.
[00:04:51] Yeah, so I'm like there was like like a thousand people.
[00:04:54] There are 997 black and gold and three people in blue for UNC Asheville.
[00:04:59] What's our stadium hold?
[00:05:00] Helpy friends.
[00:05:01] It holds about 3500 fix seats, but when you do picnic space and
[00:05:06] sweets and some of those areas you can get about 5,000 in there.
[00:05:09] That's awesome.
[00:05:12] Are the events at the Crawl Dad Stadium?
[00:05:16] Are we going to do any more events there besides baseball this year?
[00:05:20] They do have some things planned I believe.
[00:05:22] And most of those events are really run by them, not by the city.
[00:05:25] Okay, right.
[00:05:26] I didn't know if the stadium's having that.
[00:05:27] They have some they'll do some showcase events.
[00:05:30] They're looking at doing they've talked about doing some concerts and whatnot.
[00:05:33] I don't know if any of that stuff's really planned paying down to this point.
[00:05:36] I gotcha.
[00:05:37] Yeah, they um I had the privilege to be a Rodi for Willie Nelson back in.
[00:05:42] I believe it was back in the day.
[00:05:44] It was 1999.
[00:05:46] It was when uh when that show happened
[00:05:49] and Willie had a you know his his road crew were essentially
[00:05:55] temp workers from the city that he was currently touring in.
[00:05:59] So they would pull up in two 18 wheeler trucks and Willie's bus and show
[00:06:04] and say all right boys, there's about 20 of your year.
[00:06:07] You got about a 24 hour shift and we set that stage up on a Thursday night.
[00:06:12] I believe he played Friday and it might have been that he shut up Friday night.
[00:06:14] They played Saturday and he was broke down.
[00:06:17] The stages broke down and they were all often running before
[00:06:19] sun up on Sunday morning.
[00:06:20] It was crazy.
[00:06:21] I believe it was something's up in a rolling quick.
[00:06:24] You would have been a young buck back back.
[00:06:26] You were a student, right?
[00:06:27] Yeah, I was probably not even 19.
[00:06:30] Wow.
[00:06:30] Yeah, it was it was a lot of fun.
[00:06:32] It was a lot of fun.
[00:06:33] Don't get caught up on Willie's tour bus.
[00:06:34] Let me tell you that.
[00:06:38] Now we're headed in the right direction.
[00:06:39] We'll share a little bit more about that.
[00:06:41] Yeah, I didn't have the privilege but you could you could tell
[00:06:43] they were having a good time on that bus.
[00:06:45] We were too busy,
[00:06:46] a hump in amps and stage platforms and everything else.
[00:06:50] That was a good time to fill up.
[00:06:52] Go into that show.
[00:06:53] Leave me a comment here on the on the on the Facebook.
[00:06:58] There's a lot of things rolling in the city of Hickory right now.
[00:07:02] Not just city of Hickory Proper but
[00:07:04] Bruce and Meister Park tell us a little bit about that.
[00:07:07] That park is getting right to open April 8th.
[00:07:09] We have a grand opening at 1 p.m.
[00:07:12] And looking forward to that obviously.
[00:07:14] Obviously Bruce will be out there and we'll be cutting the ribbon on that thing
[00:07:17] getting that that pen rolling.
[00:07:18] It's just the very first stage.
[00:07:20] There's a picnic shelter, a little walk in trail.
[00:07:23] Obviously a parking lot.
[00:07:24] So there'll be more to come down the road.
[00:07:26] No set plans there.
[00:07:28] There was plans put in place in the past.
[00:07:29] And so a lot of those things will probably come back to fruition
[00:07:32] but it was a little while ago so probably
[00:07:34] engage the public again when it comes time to do the next phase.
[00:07:37] Maybe there's been some discussion about maybe like a cross-country trail
[00:07:41] back in through the woods through there.
[00:07:42] That is really not one in the city of Hickory for the high schools
[00:07:46] and like LR and things like that
[00:07:48] so there's some opportunity maybe
[00:07:49] some discussion along those lines
[00:07:51] and there was like San volleyball was talked about,
[00:07:54] Batchy Courts, a bunch of different things.
[00:07:56] Mountain biking is always brought up lately.
[00:07:58] Mountain biking you probably couldn't do the cross-country
[00:08:00] and the mountain biking.
[00:08:01] If it's a specific cross-country running trail
[00:08:05] just because I mean there's a lot of space
[00:08:07] but you know a lot of upkeep for your folks to do
[00:08:10] if that was the case.
[00:08:11] That's right, absolutely.
[00:08:12] So those mountain bike trails take a lot of work.
[00:08:15] Oh certainly.
[00:08:16] We have one coming up in the southeast part of the county, right?
[00:08:19] In Sherylsport I think the county is coming up with a new park
[00:08:22] and I think he's got some dedicated mountain bike trails
[00:08:25] that people are excited about.
[00:08:26] I wish I knew more my wife's on the one of the county parks groups
[00:08:30] but I represent Hickory Parks.
[00:08:32] So that's the one.
[00:08:33] So you know we're a little friendly competition.
[00:08:36] You can have the parks covered in the area.
[00:08:36] Exactly.
[00:08:38] We need them.
[00:08:40] They're awesome.
[00:08:40] I had got until I got on the parks and right
[00:08:43] can sports tourism.
[00:08:44] Let me get that whole thing out.
[00:08:45] Good luck with that.
[00:08:46] It's a mouthful.
[00:08:47] How many parks do we have in the city of Hickory?
[00:08:49] On April 8th we'll have 27.
[00:08:51] 27.
[00:08:52] That's impressive.
[00:08:52] Would you have guessed that?
[00:08:53] That's low.
[00:08:54] Low.
[00:08:55] Me if you want.
[00:08:55] Yeah, first city 40,000 people.
[00:08:57] There's nothing to do with it.
[00:08:58] We have like one park per 1,500 people.
[00:09:02] Yeah, that's crazy.
[00:09:03] I had no idea about that.
[00:09:04] Enough to spread out for sure.
[00:09:05] Yeah, absolutely.
[00:09:07] Speaking of, and I was going to ask you that we're
[00:09:08] sitting there talking about this at lunch today.
[00:09:10] What are we going to talk about today?
[00:09:12] We talked about the park.
[00:09:14] Now, of course, move some man of many hats.
[00:09:18] You have a new venture.
[00:09:20] I don't know how much you've talked about this on the pod
[00:09:22] or just in product.
[00:09:23] We just passed it.
[00:09:24] Yeah, just kind of like what's been going on
[00:09:26] in your world type situation.
[00:09:27] I'm excited.
[00:09:28] Of course, you're a man of live music.
[00:09:30] Moose and friends and moose and best friends
[00:09:32] and all these other things.
[00:09:33] All my best friends that play with you
[00:09:34] and have a good time.
[00:09:36] So music's always been a part of your life and a passion
[00:09:39] and you have the hum.
[00:09:41] Actually, you're working with a hickory.
[00:09:43] We have the hum.
[00:09:44] We get to enjoy it.
[00:09:45] You get to work.
[00:09:47] I do.
[00:09:47] Tell us about what's going on there.
[00:09:49] There's a lot of fun stuff.
[00:09:49] Yeah, a lot of fun stuff happening.
[00:09:51] So if just a high level information here
[00:09:55] about what we've covered before,
[00:09:58] myself and three other fellows have decided
[00:10:01] that we were going to take
[00:10:04] a green space in Hickory that was not really
[00:10:08] a green space yet and we made it into a green space
[00:10:11] to create the hum.
[00:10:13] It's an outdoor amphitheater
[00:10:15] and it's located across the street
[00:10:16] from what we're sitting right now.
[00:10:17] That's on Second Avenue Southwest,
[00:10:20] block east from the police station
[00:10:24] and we're going to-
[00:10:25] I like how much you're marker.
[00:10:26] I know.
[00:10:27] It is.
[00:10:27] It is.
[00:10:28] Everybody knows what the police station is.
[00:10:29] So don't get rowdy.
[00:10:32] We are super excited.
[00:10:33] Our first event is Saturday night.
[00:10:36] We are having a journey tribute band
[00:10:38] drop off our fire there and take us
[00:10:40] around so now.
[00:10:41] And we've got-
[00:10:43] we've only announced 12 shows to the public,
[00:10:46] but we have because of radius calls
[00:10:48] and everything with the music acts,
[00:10:50] we can't announce the entire schedule yet,
[00:10:53] but we have 26 events built April through October.
[00:10:56] And we were engaging North Carolina breweries
[00:11:01] in wineries and food trucks.
[00:11:03] And this Saturday night,
[00:11:05] we have the opportunity to also
[00:11:11] be a-
[00:11:12] what's the word I'm looking for?
[00:11:14] I don't know.
[00:11:15] I know words get you the most.
[00:11:16] Yeah, it does.
[00:11:16] It's where it's out at this point.
[00:11:18] I'm just going to-
[00:11:18] Is it a collaborative effort or is it a-
[00:11:20] It's a collaborative effort
[00:11:20] if multiple things going on?
[00:11:22] It is a collaborative effort
[00:11:23] between the NCAA Final Four and the Hum.
[00:11:26] And we're going to have-
[00:11:27] Well, it was nice of them
[00:11:29] to schedule North Carolina Duke
[00:11:31] so you can have that on the screen for folks.
[00:11:32] That's right.
[00:11:33] That's right.
[00:11:34] One way to put it, Mark,
[00:11:34] because we knew the schedule for the Final Four
[00:11:36] like years ago, but-
[00:11:37] Continue.
[00:11:38] What are two teams?
[00:11:39] Yeah, exactly.
[00:11:39] For sure.
[00:11:40] When everybody in this state is concerned about that game
[00:11:43] for this particular area,
[00:11:44] so which of the best?
[00:11:45] So people want to go to the concert
[00:11:46] and then they can see this in the-
[00:11:47] Which was where I call her a blue.
[00:11:48] Right, listen to the commentators.
[00:11:50] That's right.
[00:11:51] And I'll tell-
[00:11:51] And I'll tell you this-
[00:11:53] We know that there's always going to be off schools
[00:11:56] and there's always going to be other things to do.
[00:11:58] We get that.
[00:11:59] We're not going to pull an Eric Church
[00:12:01] where he just straight up-
[00:12:03] Chance fired, I believe.
[00:12:05] Chance fired.
[00:12:05] Just straight up cancelled a concert.
[00:12:07] Just straight up cancelled his concert
[00:12:09] so he could watch the Carolina Duke game.
[00:12:11] Now I will say this-
[00:12:13] That never crossed our mind to do that.
[00:12:16] And I'm really surprised that he would
[00:12:19] and I know Eric Church is a local guy
[00:12:20] and everything, so I don't want to poop him too hard.
[00:12:22] But you got to think people traveled from all over
[00:12:25] the place to come see you.
[00:12:26] People bought tickets.
[00:12:28] They bought hotel rooms.
[00:12:29] They bought flights.
[00:12:30] They brought-
[00:12:30] You know, everything else in time.
[00:12:33] So like that was kind of-
[00:12:36] I mean, not-
[00:12:37] Well, I'll say this is-
[00:12:38] I just kind of-
[00:12:38] We can't-
[00:12:38] Ah, I thought-
[00:12:39] How many folks, of course, like you said, it's outside
[00:12:41] but this is an offensive area.
[00:12:43] It's not seating.
[00:12:44] It's stand up right now.
[00:12:45] How many folks can you have in that venue?
[00:12:48] We have agreed with the City of Fickery
[00:12:50] to cap our attendance at a thousand.
[00:12:54] And honestly,
[00:12:56] our capacity probably could be three or four thousand.
[00:13:00] No problem.
[00:13:01] But it just gets into the logistics.
[00:13:02] We've got to work our way up to that-
[00:13:04] We will have to work our way to that point.
[00:13:07] If we have over a thousand people,
[00:13:08] we have to start having crowd managers
[00:13:10] and extra security
[00:13:13] and things like that which might be-
[00:13:16] We don't want to out kick our coverage
[00:13:17] or like my mom says, be too big for your bridges.
[00:13:20] Yes.
[00:13:20] So we're going to work towards that.
[00:13:22] Yeah.
[00:13:22] And-
[00:13:23] One thing-
[00:13:23] I think you can find a thousand folks
[00:13:25] that either are fine with missing the game
[00:13:27] or don't even know that the game is taking place.
[00:13:29] Let's be honest.
[00:13:30] I'm just being facetious here
[00:13:34] and I realize that sports don't matter as much
[00:13:39] to a lot of folks as it does to some but-
[00:13:42] Like I said, we realize
[00:13:43] that there's going to be conflicts all the time
[00:13:45] so we are going to have a great time on Saturday
[00:13:50] and every event following.
[00:13:53] Let me see this.
[00:13:53] Moose, what time-
[00:13:54] Showtime show start?
[00:13:56] Show starts at 7.30,
[00:13:57] towards 6.
[00:13:59] It's a-
[00:14:00] What's the length of the show?
[00:14:01] It's a-
[00:14:02] Three hours.
[00:14:03] All of our shows are roughly three hours.
[00:14:06] So you go 7.30 to 10.30 roughly?
[00:14:08] Yes. 7.30 to 10.30.
[00:14:10] We have told the city of Hickory that
[00:14:12] our venue will be quiet.
[00:14:14] I mean that, you know,
[00:14:16] the patrons might still be there
[00:14:17] until about 11 or so
[00:14:19] but the musical stop at 10.30, hard stop
[00:14:21] every week.
[00:14:22] If you wanted to, I just looked,
[00:14:24] the game is scheduled to start at 8.49.
[00:14:26] Wait, it's game two
[00:14:28] so it won't start at 8.49
[00:14:29] because the second game of the venue
[00:14:31] never starts on time.
[00:14:32] Right.
[00:14:33] So you very well could come to the concert.
[00:14:35] You might-
[00:14:36] You'll be able to see the first half.
[00:14:38] Right.
[00:14:38] You'll be able to see it
[00:14:39] and then probably going to end right around half time
[00:14:42] and then you could go to one of our
[00:14:44] lovely establishments downtown
[00:14:45] That's right.
[00:14:46] And watch the second half
[00:14:47] and that's a big Saturday right there.
[00:14:49] Markie took the words right out of my mouth
[00:14:51] but I mean there is-
[00:14:52] But there's nothing to do in Hickory.
[00:14:53] There's nothing to do in Hickory.
[00:14:54] So why choose?
[00:14:55] Why don't you just come to the venue
[00:14:57] watch some of the show,
[00:14:59] watch until, you know,
[00:15:01] mid-set, mid-second set or something like that
[00:15:03] and take off is fine.
[00:15:04] You're not going to hurt my feelings at all
[00:15:05] if you missed don't stop believing on core.
[00:15:07] You won't miss it.
[00:15:09] You might see what happens in the first half
[00:15:10] and go home and cry.
[00:15:11] That's also-
[00:15:12] Or you might stay
[00:15:13] and just kind of just walk that out
[00:15:15] and you maybe don't stop believing
[00:15:17] and might become your anthem
[00:15:18] depending on how things go.
[00:15:20] Or got forbid you just don't get on your phone
[00:15:22] and you just turn the DVR on
[00:15:25] and come to the show
[00:15:26] block it out media blackout
[00:15:28] now I do that a little time with Premier League
[00:15:30] so are you gonna have-
[00:15:31] Oh it's all right
[00:15:31] Are you is it going to be
[00:15:33] Are you going to have different sections
[00:15:34] or are you going to let Duke and Carolina fans mingle
[00:15:37] We want to see the fights of the death
[00:15:38] that's what we want to say.
[00:15:40] No, of course not
[00:15:40] It's going to be-
[00:15:42] You know, of course we are in music venue
[00:15:44] we're not a sports bar
[00:15:45] So we're going to have-
[00:15:46] We're going to have a screen out there
[00:15:48] with the games going
[00:15:50] so you can go and catch a little bit of it
[00:15:52] but you know our things music
[00:15:55] We just want to be accommodated
[00:15:56] as some folks
[00:15:57] we don't want the
[00:15:58] you know
[00:15:59] to be a driving factor
[00:16:00] if you have to choose one thing or another
[00:16:02] And there'll be a lot of folks
[00:16:03] Don't really care about the game
[00:16:04] I know some people find that hard to believe
[00:16:06] but they're really as people out there
[00:16:08] There's a good thing-
[00:16:08] That are all the people-
[00:16:09] Don't really
[00:16:10] Doesn't matter to them
[00:16:11] Yeah, imagine a sports didn't matter
[00:16:12] With your shows are you looking at it?
[00:16:13] Is it roughly about three a month
[00:16:16] Give or take-
[00:16:16] Before we're going to try-
[00:16:18] We're going to try to hit that sweet spot
[00:16:19] of once a week
[00:16:20] We got-
[00:16:20] Okay, so about-
[00:16:21] Once a month then-
[00:16:23] I mean once a week
[00:16:24] But it's going to average about four to five a month
[00:16:28] There's a few weeks
[00:16:29] that we're not going to throw shows
[00:16:31] And those weeks are Easter weekend
[00:16:34] Memorial Day July 4th
[00:16:36] October Fest
[00:16:38] City of Fickery's got a lot of things going on
[00:16:39] those on those weeks
[00:16:40] Or we figured that
[00:16:42] most people will be on vacation
[00:16:43] and we don't want to try to
[00:16:45] compete with a beach trip
[00:16:48] You know-
[00:16:48] Sure
[00:16:48] But you know our mission, our vision
[00:16:51] Our goal is to
[00:16:53] Bring music into town that
[00:16:55] Most folks haven't been able to see before
[00:16:57] You know and
[00:16:59] We're going to catch some up and coming
[00:17:01] Rosing,
[00:17:01] Rosing music acts
[00:17:03] That
[00:17:04] You know
[00:17:04] For for the price of admission
[00:17:07] You're probably not going to be able to see
[00:17:08] Those bands again for that cost
[00:17:11] And we've done a really good job
[00:17:13] of curating our schedule
[00:17:14] So we do have
[00:17:17] All types of music coming in
[00:17:19] We've got tribute bands
[00:17:20] We've got bluegrass
[00:17:20] We've got rock and roll acts
[00:17:22] Jam bands
[00:17:22] You know
[00:17:23] There's something for everybody
[00:17:24] And the beautiful part about
[00:17:26] What we're doing
[00:17:27] With
[00:17:28] You know I call it intentionality
[00:17:30] Right
[00:17:30] So everything that we do
[00:17:32] From ticket prices to the bands
[00:17:33] We bring into the food trucks
[00:17:34] We're doing to the
[00:17:35] To the beer we're serving
[00:17:36] Is all intentional
[00:17:37] So we want to make sure
[00:17:39] That
[00:17:39] You know
[00:17:40] Let's say
[00:17:41] For instance
[00:17:42] Next week we have
[00:17:43] The Monshers
[00:17:44] Which is a jam band on a Greensboro
[00:17:45] But they also do
[00:17:47] A Beastie boy set
[00:17:48] Right
[00:17:48] So we want to make it
[00:17:50] So you can spend
[00:17:52] A $15 ticket
[00:17:53] And come check these guys out
[00:17:54] And if you don't like it
[00:17:56] That's cool
[00:17:56] You only spend $15
[00:17:58] It's not a big deal
[00:17:58] So it's like
[00:17:59] We're going to give you the opportunity
[00:18:00] To be immersed in new stuff
[00:18:03] For at a fraction of the call
[00:18:04] Say $15 tickets
[00:18:05] That's awesome
[00:18:06] Yeah
[00:18:07] The journey band this weekend
[00:18:08] Is 15 bucks plus fees
[00:18:09] It's awesome
[00:18:09] 17 bucks
[00:18:10] Yeah
[00:18:10] I mean
[00:18:11] Go find
[00:18:12] And here's
[00:18:12] And here's what I thought
[00:18:14] And this is
[00:18:14] You spent more than
[00:18:15] On lunch today
[00:18:16] Then
[00:18:16] I spent $17 at lunch today
[00:18:18] We'll get to that
[00:18:19] We'll get to that
[00:18:20] You know
[00:18:21] It's
[00:18:22] It's like this
[00:18:23] I want to
[00:18:23] I put myself in
[00:18:26] In a couple of shoes
[00:18:27] Right
[00:18:27] My wife's always down
[00:18:28] To do whatever
[00:18:29] It's
[00:18:30] She's
[00:18:30] She's a lot of fun
[00:18:31] Shout out to actually
[00:18:32] So
[00:18:34] If I had a wife
[00:18:35] Say that wasn't as fun as my wife
[00:18:37] And say
[00:18:38] Hey
[00:18:38] Like
[00:18:39] I want to go to the show
[00:18:41] I know that
[00:18:41] You might not like the music
[00:18:42] But hey
[00:18:43] We've got a food trucks
[00:18:44] We have beer
[00:18:44] We have wine
[00:18:45] You know
[00:18:45] It's got something for everybody
[00:18:47] So if you might not even
[00:18:48] Necessarily
[00:18:48] If you even heard of the band
[00:18:50] You can come check them out
[00:18:51] For out of discount
[00:18:52] You know

[00:19:05] Into your schedule
[00:19:06] A little bit
[00:19:06] I would imagine
[00:19:07] With these shows

[00:22:41] Wonderful addition
[00:22:42] To the many options that you have
[00:22:44] Things to do here in Hickory
[00:22:45] So very excited
[00:22:46] In the timing
[00:22:47] I can only imagine the stress you had
[00:22:50] You know coming up with this during
[00:22:51] I don't know
[00:22:52] Global pandemic where everybody is
[00:22:54] But
[00:22:55] Now that it's kicking off
[00:22:56] And people are feeling a little more
[00:22:58] Frisky
[00:22:58] Get outside
[00:23:00] That's right
[00:23:01] And you know
[00:23:01] You're going to have plenty of rooms spread out
[00:23:03] Our place is enormous
[00:23:04] So if you are still kind of weary about being your own folks
[00:23:08] We've got corners inside
[00:23:09] We've got corners in this space
[00:23:10] Where you've got plenty of room to room
[00:23:12] Around like Drunken Buffalo
[00:23:13] One last piece of housekeeping
[00:23:15] So where do they park
[00:23:17] That's people
[00:23:17] I said we're going to have a part right up to me too
[00:23:19] Which there's plenty of parking around here
[00:23:20] People just don't realize it
[00:23:21] But there's plenty of parking
[00:23:22] All right buckle up Hickory
[00:23:23] You ready for this
[00:23:24] Okay, so
[00:23:26] We have a paid parking lot of Jason
[00:23:28] To the venue that
[00:23:30] Essentially you can put
[00:23:32] We can put about 80 cars
[00:23:33] 80 to 100 cars in there
[00:23:35] Which is we can fill
[00:23:37] Large swath of people in there
[00:23:39] And that's a $10 parking space
[00:23:41] And it's cash only
[00:23:42] So if you are
[00:23:43] Playing on utilizing
[00:23:44] We call it the VIP parking
[00:23:45] It's going to be $10 cash
[00:23:48] However
[00:23:50] Here's a very novel concept
[00:23:52] You can walk
[00:23:54] Two blocks
[00:23:55] Within
[00:23:56] There's within two blocks
[00:23:57] And walking distance
[00:23:58] Of our front door
[00:23:58] There's
[00:23:59] Essentially 400 parking spaces
[00:24:02] Publicly
[00:24:03] So if you go to shore
[00:24:04] If you go to ashful
[00:24:05] If you go to rally
[00:24:06] Any other city
[00:24:07] That you go see a concert
[00:24:08] You're prepared to walk
[00:24:10] Absolutely
[00:24:11] So it's just check
[00:24:12] And pay $30
[00:24:13] Well yeah for sure
[00:24:14] For sure
[00:24:14] So
[00:24:15] The concept is just a little bit different
[00:24:17] For Hickory
[00:24:18] I know that a lot of folks want to
[00:24:19] You know pull right up
[00:24:20] And that's fine
[00:24:22] However
[00:24:24] We're just going to have to
[00:24:25] For $10 you can
[00:24:27] For $10
[00:24:28] And I'm assuming that's where your handicap will be as well
[00:24:30] In that space
[00:24:31] No, our handicap parking is actually in front of our building
[00:24:34] And we have
[00:24:36] If you do need ADA accessibility
[00:24:38] We're going to have ushers
[00:24:39] That will be dedicated to you to help you
[00:24:41] So
[00:24:42] We've thought of everything
[00:24:44] Sounds like it
[00:24:45] And honestly it's just
[00:24:46] Because our ADA situation
[00:24:49] Is very steep grades around there
[00:24:51] So we're going to have to dedicate some people
[00:24:52] To be able to
[00:24:53] Have the accessibility for those folks
[00:24:55] Never fret
[00:24:57] We welcome all people
[00:24:59] And you can bring chairs
[00:25:00] Chairs of blankets are welcome
[00:25:01] Yeah
[00:25:02] But ladies
[00:25:03] I'm just going to throw those out there
[00:25:05] Leave your purses in the car
[00:25:06] Because we are a clear back facility
[00:25:08] Don't bring your purses in
[00:25:09] Because I don't want to have to go through them
[00:25:11] It's just a liability issue
[00:25:12] Just because of guns
[00:25:13] Fones and IDs
[00:25:14] Yeah, phones and IDs
[00:25:16] And cash
[00:25:18] We can take cards everywhere
[00:25:20] So we have
[00:25:22] Payment systems where you tap and tap and go
[00:25:25] And all that good stuff
[00:25:26] But I'm just going to tell everybody
[00:25:28] Don't wear good shoes to a long party
[00:25:31] Right? Like this is
[00:25:32] This is a
[00:25:33] Essential weather
[00:25:34] This is an outside venue
[00:25:35] Like we want you to be safe
[00:25:37] And wear good shoes
[00:25:39] You know if you want to get fancy
[00:25:40] You can put your fancy shoes on
[00:25:42] Heels won't be fun
[00:25:42] Heels unless you want to come out
[00:25:44] And how many airfah here
[00:25:46] You know where heels
[00:25:47] But please just don't wear heels
[00:25:48] Just what you would normally do
[00:25:50] Heels and be barefoot
[00:25:51] If you go to any outdoor venue
[00:25:52] That's basically the same thing
[00:25:54] Yeah, this is if we are not reinventing the wheel here
[00:25:56] No
[00:25:56] It's just we are
[00:25:58] Just putting new wheels in Hickory if you will
[00:26:00] So
[00:26:00] It'd be nice
[00:26:01] And there's plenty of parking around
[00:26:02] That's right
[00:26:03] Well enough about me y'all
[00:26:04] For real
[00:26:04] The just
[00:26:05] Yeah it is

[00:26:39] But this week I actually reached out to
[00:26:41] A new friend of mine
[00:26:42] His name is Jesse Valdes
[00:26:43] And he owns
[00:26:44] The Cycar Delivery Service

[00:26:52] And all that good stuff
[00:26:53] And he's a fantastic fellow

[00:27:08] I believe his website

[00:27:11] But I reached out to him
[00:27:13] To see
[00:27:15] To get a couple of food suggestions
[00:27:16] And all that
[00:27:17] And we put those in the bank
[00:27:18] So we're going to be
[00:27:19] Hitting those next time
[00:27:20] So I really do appreciate Jesse
[00:27:21] I'll tell him much study metal in the show
[00:27:22] So
[00:27:24] This week
[00:27:25] The three of us went to
[00:27:27] Hickory bread
[00:27:28] Hickory bread
[00:27:29] Right
[00:27:29] Is it Hickory bread companies
[00:27:31] Hickory bread
[00:27:32] Cafe
[00:27:33] Cafe
[00:27:34] Thank you
[00:27:34] May Morgan was a lot better
[00:27:35] She always had it
[00:27:36] Added down
[00:27:37] Well yeah, she would take pictures of the menu
[00:27:39] And take pictures of our food
[00:27:40] And we're just halfway done eating
[00:27:42] But let's just think about taking pictures
[00:27:43] Too busy eating to worry about that
[00:27:45] But yeah
[00:27:45] We'll share all the links on this
[00:27:46] So Hickory bread
[00:27:47] And they
[00:27:49] Got to when Atlanta bread closed
[00:27:51] In the off of
[00:27:53] Top of valuable of our
[00:27:54] And they're near the target shopping center across from
[00:27:57] I guess it's at the Mitsubishi dealership
[00:28:00] They
[00:28:01] Some
[00:28:02] Family two families
[00:28:03] I think it was two ladies that worked at Atlanta bread
[00:28:07] Went in and started this new company
[00:28:09] And bless them
[00:28:10] Like many people
[00:28:11] They started right when COVID
[00:28:14] Right hit
[00:28:14] Right
[00:28:15] And so
[00:28:17] I am very thankful that they were able to
[00:28:20] By
[00:28:21] Skill and grace
[00:28:22] And everything else that they are still alive
[00:28:25] So this is my first venture to
[00:28:27] Hickory bread
[00:28:28] And you know my quick assessment
[00:28:33] Similar layout
[00:28:35] To what Atlanta bread was
[00:28:37] Menu of similar to Atlanta bread
[00:28:39] Or your Panera or those sort of
[00:28:41] You know, salad sandwich soup
[00:28:44] Um
[00:28:44] I was really impressed you know nice clean
[00:28:48] Staffing of course they you know, they're hiring like everybody else under the sun right now
[00:28:52] But it wasn't a detriment to our service
[00:28:54] I mean, I felt like everything came out
[00:28:56] Yeah, obviously very well and then timely
[00:28:58] We didn't have to wait around long either so
[00:29:01] No, I think they probably have like three and three four employees like that
[00:29:04] I saw three so yes
[00:29:05] But I mean I didn't know the difference
[00:29:07] No
[00:29:07] I was
[00:29:08] There was a good there's a you know
[00:29:10] 20 people in their eating world
[00:29:11] Yeah
[00:29:12] So it was nice it had a very what did I tell you is like a homely atmosphere
[00:29:16] They're like a fireplace and you know, the clicker were going in and visiting friends and so I went with
[00:29:22] Gosh
[00:29:23] Pick two which is you know like you'd find at Panera or Atlanta bread
[00:29:27] We got the turkey bacon sandwich and I got the baked potato soup
[00:29:32] And I was pleased and I'll tell you what we all got some sort of soup as I'm sure you guys good
[00:29:38] um
[00:29:39] There was definitely no question of the soup being warm enough
[00:29:43] For us to enjoy so you know, it came out quick
[00:29:47] Is this thing hot fresh breaking news breaking news super hot
[00:29:50] Not always not always
[00:29:52] It's supposed to be supposed to be
[00:29:54] Um
[00:29:55] And then the the you know the turkey bacon panini sandwich I had
[00:30:00] You know, it was great. I mean, it was it was what you would expect and want from a
[00:30:05] Soup and sandwich place which is what I would categorize the sense
[00:30:08] So I really I really enjoyed it. What about you Mark? I enjoyed as well
[00:30:12] I had the turkey and bacon panini as well. I did the pick two as well
[00:30:16] I got the chili and it was hot and the half panini
[00:30:20] And it comes with a little roll to dip dip in your soup
[00:30:23] And then also came with the cookie. I can't forget yes. How'd you forget the cookie?
[00:30:28] So and I can't speak for you two
[00:30:30] It was enough for lunch for me
[00:30:32] So it was filling. I thought it was well worth it
[00:30:35] I thought the restaurant was clean oh yeah, yeah
[00:30:38] My favorite part is that our order was taken by Danny Nunean
[00:30:42] Now you two were not nearly as impressed by that as I was
[00:30:46] You kind of just you kind of just look at looking up on your phone
[00:30:50] But I wanted to confirm it was Danny Nunean and that waited well probably his like grand kid right way to don't us
[00:30:56] but it was very
[00:30:58] There was no idea that doesn't know who you're talking about
[00:31:01] Caddy Shack the
[00:31:03] He was the caddy and caddy Shack who ended up playing with Chevy Chase there at the end. You do drugs Danny
[00:31:10] Nunean
[00:31:11] So but I thought it was great
[00:31:13] I thought they did a good job like you said brought it out it was quick
[00:31:17] I had no issues whatsoever
[00:31:20] Your mind like Panera right, you know very it's a soup sandwich franchise
[00:31:24] Out without me going to go any extra place to be a certain thing when you go to those places
[00:31:28] This was right in line
[00:31:29] It's not like it was
[00:31:30] This could have been the exact same place and I like I told Moose when we were there
[00:31:35] I enjoyed I giving and this is nothing to the franchise these the people that work at least but I enjoyed giving the money to them
[00:31:42] for similar or maybe even better quality food
[00:31:46] As those large national
[00:31:48] Yeah, one of the establishments now if anybody out there knows the three of us
[00:31:53] It's not gonna come as a surprise. We cannot comment on the salads because none of us opted for a salad
[00:31:58] So
[00:32:01] Some will come around through there. I saw people carrying them to tables
[00:32:05] So and they did they looked very good on it but none of the three of us opted to go that direction
[00:32:10] No, and I went even I went hard
[00:32:16] I'm taking it I'm taking a step back you cannot but bequeath your title of my butt my but title is bequeathed
[00:32:22] So I went in hard at the hickory bread cafe
[00:32:27] Didn't eat breakfast and I've heard this is stressful so I'm
[00:32:33] I
[00:32:35] Got there with Mark and I got there first because my alley was late always
[00:32:39] We're looking through the menu. I was like all this stuff looks really good
[00:32:42] So I was like hey, can I go off man you they have like five boards of stuff
[00:32:49] And then there there's so much stuff they actually have a chalkboard for the soup. Yeah
[00:32:54] Enough room and mousse looks up there and says I'm just gonna make up my own thing is that all right Danny?
[00:33:00] Yeah, and Danny Newton said
[00:33:02] Yes, you can that is not a problem
[00:33:04] So if you do have some
[00:33:07] Different requests they will at least
[00:33:10] Field those requests absolutely but they've fulfilled my request. I was very happy with which was
[00:33:15] I went with a turkey Rubin. I just subbed the abastrami for the turkey
[00:33:20] And I also had a bowl of broccoli soup
[00:33:22] I did not go that pick to I had the entire whole sandwich and a bowl soup
[00:33:27] It was it was fantastic you can get cookie though. I didn't get a cookie. I was gipped on that deal
[00:33:32] But don't worry hey
[00:33:33] He paid more than you would if he went to go see a live show at the home. I did I paid
[00:33:38] Seventeen dollars, which is after fees the same price that you're gonna pay to go see
[00:33:42] Chava fire tribute to journey April 2nd here at the home in hickory. It's a girl. So now
[00:33:48] The no, I thought it was fantastic
[00:33:52] You know when you go to me look at this me honest. It was a former Atlanta bread company right
[00:33:58] That was a hickory bread company, right? I mean it was fantastic
[00:34:03] It was the same quality as any of those aforementioned franchises that we talked about
[00:34:08] However, it definitely had a local feel there was local artists with paintings on the wall
[00:34:13] You know you just felt like
[00:34:15] That it was a good use of the space
[00:34:18] You know what when a Atlanta bread company moved out
[00:34:20] I think that like you said that those two ladies had worked there knew the model and it's like
[00:34:26] Shoot I can do this. I can yeah, this is not a problem. Kudos to them
[00:34:30] Yeah, yeah if that was easy everybody would do it. Yeah, I feel that
[00:34:34] Again, you're renting that space. It's not cheap either
[00:34:37] So that's it's a large. It's a large. Yeah, it's an art large space right in the corner
[00:34:42] So I mean they went out on the limb. Yeah, this is my first time first time there. I will be going back there
[00:34:48] Yeah, yeah, in some other area. I will get out great there because that food is like really really good
[00:34:52] So I'm really pleased with it
[00:34:54] Mike what would you rate that
[00:34:57] Hickory bread company out of your
[00:34:59] If you're normal you know one to ten. Yeah scale
[00:35:02] I'd probably and this is going to sound I probably just
[00:35:06] Seven and a half out of ten and for the simple fact of
[00:35:09] Yeah, the food was great, but it was along the lines of his soup and sandwich spot
[00:35:13] I mean I got to have some flex but the menu was
[00:35:16] expansive. It was large
[00:35:19] But yeah similar to what you expect from other places
[00:35:22] I you know the pricing was I paid that 12 something for mine
[00:35:26] Rich in line with what your paying for lunch sadly
[00:35:28] That's in line with what you pay now so I can't put that on them the space look good
[00:35:33] It'd be a great place to you know meet with friends or even you know if there was some work that you had to do over lunch
[00:35:39] plenty of space and and you know
[00:35:41] You're not on top of everybody eating so I mean it was it was a solid place and like moose. I'll definitely be going back
[00:35:48] I want to say before I give my rating that I am holding still holding the title as a slowest eater
[00:35:53] Moose at all that food and I finished ten minutes after him and I got my food first
[00:35:57] Yeah, I feel like I was
[00:35:59] Racing me now in and
[00:36:02] Mark was not in the race. I did not even enter
[00:36:05] I did not even enter at all. Yeah, I don't know always I've always been fast on what it is but
[00:36:11] Well, my wife gets on me too so thanks no problem
[00:36:15] Sorry shouldn't didn't mean to get you in trouble. No, it's I live in trouble actually just skip over this part
[00:36:20] Don't worry done
[00:36:22] I'm gonna go
[00:36:26] It's good she gets enough of yet home right?
[00:36:31] I'm watching true. I'm listening to a murder podcast and not your that's what my wife listens to they can we can get together
[00:36:40] Let me tell you something we need to have our own murder podcast here on the mesh true crime of some sort sure
[00:36:46] Yeah, well, we'll talk about this
[00:36:52] Work rating. I'm gonna go on the moose seven. Yes one to seven scale. I'm gonna go five eight five eight five eight
[00:36:59] That's five five without looking at it that is like point eight like a 79 point something
[00:37:05] It was good close it was good. I mean it
[00:37:07] 82.8. Oh, I was close. 82 point. That's that's good. That was really good. I was enjoying it
[00:37:13] Absolutely, I will reiterate I will get me going back to the Hickory Breck FA. I think it was just really really good
[00:37:20] It's just solid food. It's one of those things where if I'm gonna spend $17 for lunch or dinner or whatever
[00:37:27] It's it's gotta be like good. It's gotta be really really good
[00:37:30] I thought that my meal was worth it and I don't have those type meals in Hickory a whole lot
[00:37:36] Especially on some of the restaurants review. I feel like I just don't get the value now
[00:37:42] I had to spend $70 get the value but I left full and it was it was great
[00:37:46] Um
[00:37:47] On the moves out of seven scale. Thank you more for picking that back up
[00:37:50] I it's a 6.2 out of seven for me so that is a roughly an 88 I believe
[00:37:55] Uh, something like that so 88.5 there you go
[00:37:59] So yeah, well, I think the three of us are in agreement that we highly recommend the uh
[00:38:03] The restaurant today absolutely awesome. It was fun till the next time we go eat somewhere. Yeah, for sure
[00:38:08] We gotta think about it too
