Speaker 3: Did Yeah, we met that day and it's so funny.

61
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 5: As he asked me to go to a bar with

62
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 5: him the next day, and so in Nashville. So I

63
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 5: flew to Nashville and went to a bar and he

64
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 5: got me drunk off two medellas and I had to.

65
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 3: Have my wife drive me home.

66
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, well he's a bit, he's quite. He's a good drinker.

67
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: He can he can settle in.

68
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: For a wet spend the night on a party bus

69
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: with him.

70
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 7: And I had to deal with her doing the show

71
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 7: the next morning, and she was shambles.

72
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: How were you? How'd you pro?

73
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 6: I was fine.

74
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: I mean, two beers put me on my ass. I'm

75
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: not gonna lie.

76
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 5: I drink once a year, and so I chose that

77
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 5: once to be with Ed and it was a treat

78
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 5: and we were at a beer only place and it

79
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 5: takes just two modelas and I'm gone. So honestly, he

80
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 5: probably loved it. I was a cheap drinker.

81
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 4: It will be odd to say no if you drink

82
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 4: once a year, and and she it's like, come on, bro,

83
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 4: have a few beers with me.

84
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 6: I mean, he'd has to say, can I ask you

85
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 6: about the song ordinary? Because I bloody love it? Right,

86
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 6: It's just such a It's such a beautiful song, is it?

87
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 6: Is it like a story of transformation? Is that what

88
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 6: it's what it's about? You know, why did you pin it?

89
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 5: I wrote it because there's something that you know, I've

90
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 5: noticed with this generation that I'm in, it's not a

91
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 5: lot of people are getting married, I guess at a

92
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 5: young age, which I don't know if it's not normal

93
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 5: or not, but I'm twenty four. I got married at

94
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 5: twenty three with my wife. I met at eighteen, and

95
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 5: you know, when we met, I had nothing. I was

96
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 5: sleeping in my car and she decided to sleep in

97
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 5: it with me. And it was cool because it was

98
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 5: like there was nothing that I had that she wanted except.

99
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 3: For my love. And I think that was that's really

100
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: rare to fine.

101
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 5: I think today everyone kind of wants something from you

102
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 5: and wants like other things, and no one's really getting married.

103
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 5: And I wanted to write a song about what we

104
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 5: found was out of the ordinary?

105
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: What about devotion?

106
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 7: Sweet?

107
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: Does he think I didn't love you or not?

108
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 7: Also, I'll tell you what the tourbous the scopping is

109
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 7: from looks very different to the car and then missus

Speaker 2: Very true. Are you on the tour of us?

112
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,720

Speaker 5: like pool like communities, like pool communities. You know when

119
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 5: someone has like a gated community, I would sneak into

120
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 5: that and showering there like a gated pool.

121
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,440

126
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 5: I walked in the sound check with Ed Shearon and

127
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 5: he was learning Ordinary and hearing him just in the chorus,

128

Speaker 5: the coolest day of my life. And he just started

130
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 5: looking at me laughing, and I was like, this is insane.

131
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 5: And so we started singing it together and my wife

132
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 5: is there with me, and she starts bawling her eyes

133
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 5: out in front of Ed Shear and as him and

134
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,680
