Introducing Meta Glasses.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:02)
You have questions, they've got answers.
Hey Meta, what's the capital of Peru? Lima.

**Trace Adkins** (0:09)
How do you say, where's the restroom in Spanish? Donde esta el baño?
Hey Meta, is a hot dog a sandwich? Technically no, spiritually, yes. Hey Meta, what should I do with my life? That's one of life's biggest questions.

**Theo Von** (0:25)
What do you think?

Ask anything with the new Meta Glasses.

Today's guest is a country music legend. He's got six golden platinum albums. He's a Louisiana boy. He's got so many hits. Every light in the house. You're going to miss this. That honky-tonk, but don't get. He's on a special 30th anniversary tour right now.
I've been a fan for a long time, and I had a blast with the one and only Mr. Trace Adkins.
I was just looking at, I was just, what was it? I was seeing a commercial that it was for, was it Pogo stickers or something? See if you can find something. It's like a Pogo.

**Trace Adkins** (1:28)
I didn't have a Pogo stick.

**Theo Von** (1:30)
Yeah, this is it, extreme Pogo athletes. This was, what is it?

**Trace Adkins** (1:35)
Wow, that's insane.

**Theo Von** (1:40)
That's Pogo stick. And did they have that? Y'all had Pogo sticks when you were a kid? Any toy you remember?

**Trace Adkins** (1:46)
Not like that.
That's crazy. No, ours had like an old shock absorber spring on it. I mean, I didn't have one, but I remember seeing them when I was a kid. That's like super charged.

**Theo Von** (2:04)
Oh yeah, that's for somebody that's trying to probably make their own power at home or whatever. You know, you got four kids out there in the yard just Pogo sticking, you know, so you can watch an episode of As The World Turns.

**Trace Adkins** (2:16)
Yeah, charging your batteries.

**Theo Von** (2:18)
Yeah, dude. So you can be sitting inside watching Unsolved Mysteries or something. That would have been something you maybe would have seen nowhere. Yeah, I'm trying to think of toys they have. Was there any toy you remember growing up, Trace? I'm just trying to think.

**Trace Adkins** (2:32)
I remember when I got a gas powered little car for Christmas one year and it had a little gas powered motor on it where you had to mix the gas and everything. It was like a tiny little motor on it and it had a propeller on the back of it where it would propel the car, you know. But I mean, I guess my old man didn't know you really needed to have like a lot of concrete to have this car because it wouldn't run in the yard. You know what I'm saying?
We had a gravel driveway so it didn't work at all, but I thought, man, yeah, nowadays, I mean, that thing was dangerous. It had a propeller on the back of it and there was no guard or anything.

**Theo Von** (3:12)
And it took real gasoline?

**Trace Adkins** (3:13)
Yeah, well, you had to mix it up.

**Theo Von** (3:16)
What?

**Trace Adkins** (3:17)
With something else. Yeah, you crank that sucker up, man. You know, it cut your finger off.

**Theo Von** (3:24)
It looked like it was like that.

**Trace Adkins** (3:26)
Just like that, man. That was the car. It was that green. I remember that.

**Theo Von** (3:31)
It says high performance prop driven racer.

**Trace Adkins** (3:34)
Yeah.

**Theo Von** (3:35)
Super action on free runs, roars around on tether. Not sure what that means.

**Trace Adkins** (3:42)
You had a string on it and you could just stand in it. You'd just go in a circle. You'd stand still and just go in a circle.

**Theo Von** (3:48)
Oh, hell yeah. Damn, I can't believe you had to mix your own gas for that thing.

**Trace Adkins** (3:52)
Yeah.

**Theo Von** (3:53)
Just the fact that they entrusted kids.
There was definitely some things that they were too entrusting. There was one that had lawn darts, I remember.

**Trace Adkins** (4:01)
Oh, lawn darts, yeah.

**Theo Von** (4:02)
Them bitches got recalled.

**Trace Adkins** (4:04)
Well, you don't want to give drunk rednecks long darts.

**Theo Von** (4:08)
Yeah. I think, what happened?
Was there a lawn dart recall?

**Trace Adkins** (4:15)
Well, I think the general public probably just at some point went, we're not buying our kids that anymore.

**Theo Von** (4:24)
Yeah, we got one, yeah. You got a kid who's got-

**Trace Adkins** (4:27)
We got one kid left and we've lost two from lawn dart mishaps, so.
