The TexTenn Podcast

What do purple martins, South Texas rainstorms, and NCAA basketball have in common? Somehow, they all make it into this week's episode, and it works. From tales of mosquito-eating birds to neck pain caused by first-time contact lens struggles, this episode is one big mix of laughter, local color, and college pride 🦟🦅😂.

We kick things off talking about much-needed rain in Texas 🌧️, what it means for business 💼, and how it's finally waking up the lawns (and the mosquitoes 🦟). We also get into a little backyard birdwatching... Yes, purple martins get their moment in the spotlight, before heading into sports territory 🏀⚾. Tennessee is on fire in all the major leagues, and we take a proud (and slightly biased) look at what makes it so exciting to be a Vols fan right now 🧡🔥.

From there, the conversation swings into hilarious personal stories, like what happens when a 48-year-old man attempts to put in contact lenses for the first time 👁️😵‍💫. We also swap tales about wild encounters with Georgia fans (one ends up under a piano 🎹😬) and the unique culture of college towns; from Knoxville to College Station 🏫🌆.

This one's packed with personality and off-the-wall laughs, plus the usual good-natured banter you've come to expect from the show 🎙️🤣. Thanks to our sponsor, Diamond B Tractors & Equipment 🚜! Don't forget to share and tune in each week!

You ever sit back and wonder why folks lose their minds the second someone disagrees with 'em? 😤 In this episode, Clay and I jump into some hot takes — and yeah, we name names. (Lookin' at you, Elon haters 👀)

We talk about how the guy went from being the darling of the left to public enemy number one just 'cause he changed his mind and backed Trump. I mean, really… he's out here catching rockets 🚀 and trying to clean up government waste, and somehow that's controversial? Come on.

We also get into the whole Bud Light thing 🍻, people blowing up Teslas (their own, hopefully 😅), immigration debates, and why you shouldn't need a passport to travel your own dang country but somehow a COVID card was mandatory. Oh — and yes, the education system and whether college is even worth it anymore… we don't hold back. 🎓💸

But the real point? It's okay to disagree. You don't gotta scream about it, flip trucks over, or cut people out of your life. We can still be friends, even if we don't vote the same way. 🤷‍♂️

🎧 Tap in, laugh a little, maybe get offended (just a little), and then laugh some more.

Spring break traffic, trash-talking fans, and $175 Ubers — yeah, we talked about all of that in this episode. Keith and Clay are back, swapping wild stories about surviving the island 🏖️ during spring break and trying to keep up with all the sports chaos. If you think March Madness is the best sports event ever 🏀 or just love hearing about grown men chirping at each other in Omaha, you'll get a kick out of this one.

Keith shares his unforgettable trip to the College World Series, where he and Graham found themselves sweating it out in the outfield while some overly confident Florida State fans ran their mouths. Spoiler alert: Tennessee won, the Florida fans vanished, and Keith didn't get the satisfaction of rubbing it in — but hey, that's life. Meanwhile, Clay's road trip to Omaha had everything — a tornado warning 🌪️, a run-in with chatty fans, and an Audi A4 that he might be ready to endorse any day now.

Oh, and if you've never heard of the Savannah Bananas 🍌 — imagine the Globetrotters, but baseball, with backflips and bats on fire. Yeah, it's as ridiculous as it sounds. Also, Keith tries to convince Clay that March Madness is better than the World Cup, and they debate if doing a backflip after 40 is a midlife crisis or just a questionable life choice.

Give it a listen, and if you make it to the end, bless your heart. We appreciate you! 🙌

🏔️✈️ From childhood road trips to dream vacations, this episode's got it all! Keith and Clay swap stories about family trips growing up—whether it was sneaking into water slides after hours or figuring out how their kids ended up flying with college basketball teams.

🌍 Keith talks about how different his kids' travel experiences are compared to his own, while Clay remembers his dad's love for water parks. They also get into some of their wildest adventures, like fly fishing for sharks, dodging grizzly bears in Alaska, and Keith's ridiculous run-in with hyenas in Africa.

🏕️ And of course, they talk bucket list trips—skiing in the Alps, hitting the backcountry, and whatever other adventures are still on the table. What's the craziest trip you've ever taken?

🎙️ In this episode, we talk about everything from unexpected social media reactions to testing our limits—literally. Keith shares his recent YouTube experiment that unexpectedly stirred up some controversy, and we dive into why people love leaving negative comments. We also chat about technology frustrations, like why Siri seems to be falling behind, and whether Elon Musk's brilliance is really up for debate.

🤔 Plus, Clay wonders if he can still pull off a backflip at 48. Will he land it or faceplant? The video proof is coming soon, so stay tuned!
