You know, 173 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 3: everything else was always extra. So I never put any 174 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: pressure on myself to be a certain way or achieve 175 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 3: certain things, you know, because anything beyond just being able 176 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: to be happy and have a good life was always 177 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 3: more than I had ever asked for. So to have 178 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 3: ended up here as an insane blessing, and you know 179 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 3: I wanted a billion chants, right So, yeah, man, I 180 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 3: never take it for granted. But yeah, it's it's more 181 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: complicated than moved to Nashville. And you know, nobody I 182 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 3: didn't walk in the door at someplace and went, god, dang, 183 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 3: look at this good look at some bitch. 184 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: Nobody that didn't. 185 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: And kept So I've been a country music fan my 186 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: entire life, right, So I Willie Nelson and Nancy Griffith 187 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: and all those sort of things country music, Emmy Lou Harris. 188 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: Yes they've been popular, but it's never been your popular. 189 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: It's not stadium popular. Encapsulate for us what you've been 190 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: able to do and how you've been able to do 191 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: it and why it's been that way. 192 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 3: Gosh, man, you know, I always tell people if I 193 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 3: if I knew the real answer to that, I would 194 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 3: be selling that instead of doing what I'm doing. 195 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 2: You know. But I think it has something to do 196 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: with one. The genre is as big as it's ever been. 197 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 3: Right now, Okay, So there's no doubt in that sense 198 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 3: that it's more popular than it's ever been. I don't 199 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 3: necessarily think that has anything to do with me in particular. 200 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 3: I think I'm the lucky guy that's happens to be 201 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 3: existing as a country singer at the time where the 202 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 3: genre is at kind of its peak that it's ever 203 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 3: been at and kind of just really continuing. 204 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 2: To grow, to be honest. 205 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 3: So I think there's some element of that, you know, 206 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 3: But it's a lot of intent too, right Like the 207 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 3: way we've toured for the last seven or eight years 208 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 3: has always been, you know, it was intentional. You know. 209 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 3: We've been to you know, we've been to Australia three 210 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 3: or four times. You know, we've been to and we 211 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 3: just went to our New Zealand for the first time 212 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 3: last year, you know, And so we've always been intentional 213 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 3: about wanting to you know, we look at you know, 214 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 3: we don't look at Australia, New Zealand or Europe or Canada. 215 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 3: As a man, it'd be cool to go there and 216 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 3: play one show one time, you know what I mean. Like, 217 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 3: we looked at it from the beginning as how do 218 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 3: we make this a place that people will want us 219 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 3: to come back to for as long as we want 220 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 3: to go back, right, And so there was always intent 221 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 3: in in touring, and I think that's really important. I 222 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 3: think having really long term goals is really really important 223 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 3: because you don't get to where we've ended up now 224 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 3: on accident. As far as the being able to do 225 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 3: the big shows and being able to go overseas and 226 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 3: being able to do big shows overseas, it was all 227 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: very very very intentional. 228 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: Well, all I can say is I hope you're enjoying it. 229 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: And what I want you to do is tell us 230 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: you're coming back to New Zealand because once it's not enough, 231 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: as I think you probably found out the first time around, 232 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: So you need to make some arrangements around that and 233 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: let us know when you're doing it. 234 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, man, we're going to be back.
