Burying the Hatchet with Judah Ross: Real Estate, Data Centers, Rivalries, and the Baron of Bastrop.
Welcome back to another episode of Hey Elgin!! This week, Tony, Ben, and Boston Nick are sitting down with a guest who needs no introduction if you spend any time on local social media—Judah Ross, Bastrop County real estate agent and fellow podcaster.
After a long history of butting heads online and running what felt like rival shows, we finally bury the hatchet and get everything out on the table. Judah opens up about his journey to settling in Bastrop, his highly active social media presence, and the drama that comes with sharing his unapologetic, controversial views on politics and local topics. He even tells the story behind earning his very own "F*** Judah Ross" sticker, proudly displayed in local dive bar bathrooms. We also dig into how this kind of notoriety actually impacts his day-to-day real estate business.
Once the air is cleared, the crew does what it does best: diving headfirst into the weird and unexplained. We get into the deep history of Bastrop County, tracing the wild true story of the Baron of Bastrop. From there, the conversation goes completely off the rails as we explore local haunts, buried bodies (both ancient and potentially new), our favorite conspiracy theories, and Boston Nick's burning question about why the local Indigenous tribes didn't leave behind written notes explaining why they chose to settle in Elgin and Bastrop County.
Grab a drink, get comfortable, and tune in for a hilarious, wide-ranging conversation that proves even internet rivals can share a great time in the studio.
