Ep. 19 - Flooded Corn pt.2 with Bill Cooksey. Is it the corn or is it death by 1000 cuts?

From the snow-capped mountains of the west to the cypress swamps of the south and everywhere in between, this is the Southern Flight Podcast.

I'm your host, Robbie Nelson.

You are listening to the Southern Flight Podcast, coming at you live from the Nelson Sign Shop studio.

Today's guest is Mr.

Bill Cooksey out of Tennessee.

How are you doing today, Mr. Bill? I'm doing well, Robbie.

I

appreciate you having me on today.

Looking forward to it.

I appreciate you coming on.

We are going to kind of finalize this topic for me, at least, on this episode.

I had Josh Goins on a few episodes back, and I told everybody when I had that side on that I was very open to having someone with the opposite opinion and thoughts on as long as we were – Talking about it intelligently and not doing the name calling and yada yada and all that.

And, buddy, I had no idea what kind of can of worms I was going to open when I had Josh on.

And I want to say this again.

Josh has been nothing but respectful to me.

He has been...

Great conversations with Josh.

So this is not an attack.

He's a nice guy.

Exactly.

So see, even Mr. Cooksey's saying the same thing.

So this is not an attack, Josh Goins.

This is not an attack on anything.

What this is going to be is...

the other side of the coin.

So basically we've heard the side that Josh is, is on.

And now I want to hear this other side.

Now, if some of y'all guys may say, this is redundant, it's been beat to death and you know, there's been some podcasts on it.

There there's no doubt.

Uh, some of my people that listen to this, haven't listened to those podcasts though.

And I wanted to personally hear these thoughts so I could form my own opinion on this.

And Mr. Cooksey came to me through, several different avenues of people that suggested that I reach out to him and talk to him.

And I first learned about Bill Cooksey, uh, I don't remember the years of the End of the Line podcast, but it's been a while.

Do you remember? 17, 18, maybe into 19.

I was going to say close to 10 years.

So I've been following along with Bill on social media for, let's just call it 10 years now.

It's been pretty close.

And listened to a bunch of podcasts from back then.

So...

I reached out to him to see if he'd be willing to come on and do this and he obliged.

And so that's what we're going to do.

We're also going to talk about some other topics.

So if you don't want to just hear about flooded corn, I'd suggest still listening to this because the whole thing's not going to be flooded corn, but we are going to go ahead and exit off the list just right up front and be done with it.

So.

Mr. Cooksey, for the folks that are listening that do not know you, will you tell us who you work for, kind of what your job title or job description basically is, and kind of your background in your work life?
