00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: what happens if World War three happens. Here's what happens

41
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: if world Here's what happens if nuclear war ever happens.

Speaker 1: The future. I tell my kids all the time, like

43
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: what's it going to be like in a thousand years?

44
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: I say, in a thousand years, everyone's going to have

45
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: an Australian accent because the only people that will survive

46
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: full fallout is Australian is Australian Zealand. So last night

47
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,960

00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can do that.

53

Speaker 1: house for twenty years and like good place that he records,

63
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,080

00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: and outside of Perth make the greatest song of all

65
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: time and then go back underground like and just like

66
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: disappear like at there's a lot of appeal. I said,

67
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: so you know the voice. Obviously, you guys have that show,

68
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: the voice that it's done really well for years.

69
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: We have it too.

70
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: So a couple of times they had asked me to

71
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: do the show and I'd said no because of the

72
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: scheduling conflict. Oh thank you. Here I got the actual

73
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: from top Gun. This is the actual Maverick jacket. Hang

Speaker 1: to I kept saying no to the Voice because of

82
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: scheduling conflicts, and then finally in twenty twenty two they

83
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: submit another offer for me to be one of the judges.

84
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: I was like, hell, yes, we have the whole it's COVID.

85
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: Everyone's on lockdown. My wife was like, we're moving to

86
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: bond I. We're going to Australia. Like let's let's go

87
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: fair dink him and all that stuff and probably like

88
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: two months before we were going to leave, we get

89
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: a call from the Australian our representative who says, we

90
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: cannot clear, we cannot get you a visa. Why Marvel

91
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: the movie company has completely waterboarded the customs application process

92
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: in Australia. They have taken all the vases. We're backlogs

93
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: for six months, all the Marvel movies. No true story,

94
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: yeah true story. So I was gonna we were going

95
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: to go to Australia for like six months, and then

96
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: we got host Chris Henrysworth.

97
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: Got your beauty.

98
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: You hate Marvel? Is that is that fair to say

99
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: you hate old Marvel franchise?

100
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: I hate the fact that they absolutely fucked me from

101
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,119
Speaker 1: Australia and they haven't. They have not paid me a dime.

102
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: So I like Marvel the moment they start using my songs, Yeah,

103
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: Team Marvel. But until then they can they can all

104
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: with music.

105
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: I think last time we spoke, we were fascinated by

106
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: the thought and the process that goes into your music,

107
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: and we were talking about different strategies people have and timing.

108
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: But what I'd be fascinated to know is how many

109
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: people have approached you as a creator and said Hey, Ryan,

110
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 2: we've seen the country music is what everybody wants right now?

111
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: Can you make me a hit? And it needs to

112
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: have a country feel to it? Is that? Is that

113
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 2: what you'll sing a lot of at the moment. I

114
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 2: mean I did the song.

115
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: I did one of the Beyonce country songs with Miley

116
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: Cyrus who most wanted that's that's my song? Yes and no,

117
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean I just wrapped a song with Keith Urban

118
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: literally yesterday. Awesome. Speaking speaking of Australia, then he's your

119
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: next prime minister. Yes, and I I you know, I've

120
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: had a couple of country number ones. I've had some

121
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: country yet, so I do dabble. Get up Tate mccra.

122
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: Tate McCray is the artist I executive produced. He has

123
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: the number one song today with Morgan Wallen in the

124
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: US and Billboard. So it has definitely become very pervasive.

125
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: But I'm just old enough that I remember, like early

126
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: two thousands when Shania Twain exploded and it was like

127
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: everybody all of a sudden was like trying to do country.

128
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: So I think it's cool. I'm happy that it's happening,

129
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: you know. Do I think it's a fad?

130
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: Yes?

131
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: I do think it's a fad, but for sure right

132
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: now a lot of especially singer songwriter artists, are like,

133
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: can you give me something that feels a little more folksy,

134
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: a little more country vibes?

135
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: Ryan, I just want to ask you, just quickly. You're

136
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 3: You're unbelievable. You are genius when it comes to writing songs.

137
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 3: But I want to ask you who is the most

138
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: talented and creative person and a person that can put

139
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: a song together the quickest that blew your mind that

140
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: you've worked with. Is it a Beyonce? Is it an

141
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 3: Age Sheeran? Is it someone like that? But someone that

142
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 3: you just you sat there and just went, oh my god,

143
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 3: how quickly they can get us together.

144
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: So it's too it's a two part answer. The most

145
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: talented person I worked with on that checks every box

146
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: for me, meaning musically, can play every instrument a studio level,

147
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: understands lyric, understands arrangement, understands hits songs, melody without question.

148
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: For second and third place is Paul McCartney. Wow, with

149
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: that question, I worked on his album Egypt Station, So

150
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: I would say the fastest in terms of speed. Yep,

151
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: it's a pretty close neck. And neck in terms of

152
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: artists and their obvious answers of Taylor yep, yes, and

153
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: and Ed Taylor.

154
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: And what you what you see when you.

155
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: See an artist who has a volume of hits that

156
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: they've written. I mean, Rihanna's had a billion hits, but

157
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,200
