Scattered & Covered (From the Vault)   We took the week between Christmas and New Year’s off… but we didn’t leave you hanging.   Before Hootin’ & Hollerin’ was Hootin’ & Hollerin’, Matt and Eric had a very ambitious idea: set up podcast equipment in random places across the South and interview whoever was brave (or bored) enough to sit down. That concept was called Scattered & Covered.   This episode is the first and last time we ever tried it.   Recorded three years ago inside Sherry’s One Stop — a true Southern multitasker of a gas station featuring tanning beds, pizza, former VHS rentals, and possibly active warrants for unreturned movies — this lost episode captures two guys slowly realizing that no one wants to be interviewed for a Honey Bun.   What you’ll hear instead: • Peak gas-station philosophy • Deep dives into Hunt Brothers pizza etiquette • Stories about stolen cheese, stolen clothes, and stolen VHS tapes • A surprise appearance from the man who actually runs the place • The sound of a podcast discovering, in real time, why it shouldn’t exist   Enjoy this unearthed relic from the H&H archives — proof that every good idea deserves one honest attempt… and a quiet burial.
