0:00.0	I had a great time this weekend.
0:13.0	I got to play at Smoky Mountain Harley Davidson in Maryville, Tennessee.
0:18.0	I had a really big crowd, a lot of nice people, and the folks just treated
0:22.2	me like a king. Everything was great. On display, they have this red, white, and blue jumpsuit that
0:28.1	was actually worn by Evil Caneval when he was making his motorcycle jumps. And I grew up as a big
0:35.4	fan of Evil Caneval when I was a kid.
0:46.2	So I begged and I pleaded and I did everything I could to get them to let me try that sucker on and ride it around the parking lot on my Huffy Davidson.
0:47.8	But it was no dice. Yeah. Hi, friends, this is Otis Gibbs, and you're listening to Thanks for Giving a Dam.

2:02.0	Todd Snyder.net. When I first got the idea to do this show, I had a short list of some people
2:08.2	that I'd like to have on, and Todd was one of those people, but I never really got around to
2:12.6	reaching out to him. But I got a text the other night from Tommy Womack saying Todd would like to be on the show. And then just a few minutes later, Todd called him. But I got a text the other night from Tommy Womack saying Todd would like to be on the show.
2:19.6	And then just a few minutes later, Todd called me. He's like, Otis, I'd like to be on the show.
