Speaker 1: Broadcasting from the fifty eighth. Then you will seeing at
Speaker 1: w Works it's the Bobby mom shoe.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: We got Cody Johnson here, who is really dressed up?
Speaker 3: Do you dress this nice all the time?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: Then why are you doing now?
Speaker 4: It's just for you guys?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you, man, I appreciate. I don't wear a
Speaker 3: button up shirt either. I had to wear one to day.
Speaker 3: I was like, I gotta get the T shirt off.
Speaker 2: This sucks.
Speaker 3: Do you like these things?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Man, because the opposite of doing this stuff is not
Speaker 6: being invited to the party, you know. And I spent
Speaker 6: plenty of time doing that, wondering what would it be
Speaker 6: like to go do CMA week, you know, and have
Speaker 6: rehearsals and small market remotes and large market remotes and
Speaker 6: all these interviews and all this stuff, And here we
Speaker 6: are doing it.
Speaker 4: That means must be doing something right. Huh.
Speaker 3: That is true. You're making money, making hits, selling out venues,
Speaker 3: going on tour, you know, just making a lot of
Speaker 3: people happy. Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 4: It's freaking nuts.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 3: But when you go to like a CMA party, is
Speaker 3: it compared to a high school party? High school parties
Speaker 3: were more fun, right I think.
Speaker 6: So, Yeah, there was a lot less hands to shake
Speaker 6: at the high school party.
Speaker 4: You're like, oh god, everybody's looking at me.
Speaker 8: What too? You were getting away with things that you
Speaker 8: weren't supposed to be.
Speaker 6: Yeah, were also you know, with a bonfire, waiting for
Speaker 6: the cop.
Speaker 4: To show it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, deciding which way you were gonna run.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I don't know about you, but I spent a lot
Speaker 8: of times running in those fields and playing like hide
Speaker 8: and seek, trying to Okay, you got to.
Speaker 6: Go in the daylight and pick your hideout spot that way,
Speaker 6: later on when they do show up, you can just.
Speaker 8: That's what you did.
Speaker 9: You got to prepare for it, so you have like.
Speaker 10: A designated spot you would run to every time.
Speaker 6: So like Lane Johnson places for the Eagles. Yeah, we
Speaker 6: went to high school together. I was a senior, he
Speaker 6: was a freshman.
Speaker 3: See that's ridiculous. That's so much talent in one high school.
Speaker 3: It's like you hear these guys that like they're on
Speaker 3: the same NFL team, Like, oh, they played high school
Speaker 3: football together. It's like what how Hey.
Speaker 6: We used to give Lane a walkie talkie and we'd
Speaker 6: put him at the edge of the fence up there
Speaker 6: at the front of the past year.
Speaker 4: We're like, tell us.
Speaker 6: When they come in, copture here, cops are here, and
Speaker 6: we'd run off and hide.
Speaker 10: So he didn't get be invited to the party.
Speaker 8: He just gotta be the lookouts freshman.
Speaker 3: That's part of it. I mean, one of the dumbest
Speaker 3: thing we ever.
Speaker 4: And he was not as big as he is now,
Speaker 4: so was a little easier to convince.
Speaker 3: Him, Hey, you go do that. One of the dumbest
Speaker 3: things we ever did is there was a house that
Speaker 3: was for sale, right, so it was open, and so
Speaker 3: we went and got all this firewood and candles and
Speaker 3: we had a party in the house that was for
Speaker 3: sale and it was like surrounded by neighbors and it
Speaker 3: was on the water Lake Austin, And so when the
Speaker 3: cops come say felony. Yeah, we had to run along
Speaker 3: like from doc to doc and people are falling in
Speaker 3: the water. We're like, why did we do that? It
Speaker 3: was so stupid.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, this makes me want to ask the question.
Speaker 10: And you don't have to answer. You don't want to.
Speaker 3: You don't set it up by that.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah I've been arrested.
Speaker 8: Hey, you don't have to answer right here. Oh no,
Speaker 8: what did you get arrested for?
Speaker 6: Oh man, that was young d u I and I
Speaker 6: got a d W I and I got a public intoxication.
Speaker 11: So you have to have a There was some There
Speaker 11: was one that I don't.
Speaker 4: Know if I really got arrested. They said I was
Speaker 4: detained for a fight. Yeah, kind of deal.
Speaker 3: When time you've been punching the face or you punched
Speaker 3: someone in the face.
Speaker 6: Like it's been quite a while, whoever's up next is
Speaker 6: probably gonna get it. There's a I've got so much
Speaker 6: built up, I've got a lot to lose. I can't
Speaker 6: go around punching people in the face. But sometimes I'm like,
Speaker 6: you know, it is nice to have security. You talk
Speaker 6: about my money more problems. I'm like, hey, hit that guy.
Speaker 3: That's even better. That guy's being a little really he's
Speaker 3: getting a little too close.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't get me now.
Speaker 6: The last time I've been hitting the face was not
Speaker 6: that long as far as like horses and cows and
Speaker 6: things like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's kind of a given.
Speaker 10: Would you ever do, like m M a fight or
Speaker 10: something if they.
Speaker 8: Paid you, Oh yeah, I do it.
Speaker 4: If they didn't pay me, I know we need.
Speaker 8: To get him in the ring.
Speaker 3: I really think I was trying to think about who
Speaker 3: would win, Like, you know, like UFC has the baddest
Speaker 3: badass mother something belt, like you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: they have the BMF belt. And I'm like Cody Johnson
Speaker 3: versus who in country music would be the baddest man
Speaker 3: of country music? And I don't know who you could
Speaker 3: who could beat you? Like I can't think of anybody. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Like I was thinking about it, I'm like, damn Cody
Speaker 3: John's gon woofs the mask you would I would enjoy
Speaker 3: it too much, is the problem.
Speaker 12: I'd be in there.
Speaker 4: I'd be the guy smiling.

Speaker 11: Like in country?
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, nobody. I'm a I'm a nice guy.
Speaker 3: That's one of those ones where he wants, let's to say,
Speaker 3: but you don't have to answer it because he doesn't
Speaker 3: want to answer.
Speaker 6: He has could I could pick one, but I'm not
Speaker 6: going to go there.

Speaker 6: and stuff like that. Just something I've always wanted to do.
Speaker 6: I'm a really avid hunter. I'm really pretty good at it.
Speaker 6: But I've never faced a dangerous predator like that, and
Speaker 6: that's something I've always wanted to do.
Speaker 8: You really like the adrenaline things we've learned about him.

Speaker 10: She's in a really.
Speaker 8: Cute corner where I jumps suit.
Speaker 14: It's so cute and you get to be comfortable, and

Speaker 10: to the bathroom.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yep, you are dead making in the bathroom.

Speaker 8: The good is jumpers are in.
Speaker 14: So really, being naked in a bathroom is is in
Speaker 14: it is.
Speaker 8: But I don't know about you, but I always feel
Speaker 8: so vulnerable, especially if I got a few drinks deep
Speaker 8: and naked. I'm like, I'm gonna feel yeah, like less.
Speaker 14: I don't know maybe important or protected, but I'm like jumper,
Speaker 14: the worst place to the end.
Speaker 8: Okay, Sorry, that was not how I planned to start
Speaker 8: the interview. It's okay, Ashley. How are you? How are
Speaker 8: you feeling this week? Good? I'm good.
Speaker 14: It's early in the week and I'm already nervous, but
Speaker 14: so I feel like that's a good thing.
Speaker 10: Why are you nervous? This is just fid No, you're
Speaker 10: being nominated Female Vocalists of the Year.
Speaker 14: But performing which is always fun because it has its
Speaker 14: own magic. At the CMAS, it's just me and my guitar.
Speaker 14: There's no there's nobody but me, So if something goes wrong,
Speaker 14: that is my fault.
Speaker 15: And if something goes wrong that is to my credit.
Speaker 8: Oh that has to be really tough to be Again,
Speaker 8: back to that vulnerability. You're in this space where, holy crap,
Speaker 8: you're looking out on all these people, all these important.
Speaker 14: And everyone in the room does what you do for
Speaker 14: a living, and they're gonna know if you do it wrong.
Speaker 8: Have you ever had a performance in front of somebody
Speaker 8: where you're like, I cannot believe that just happened in
Speaker 8: a good or bad way.
Speaker 14: Yes, Uh, it was when Carly and I had never
Speaker 14: wanted to be that girl, and Susan Sarandon was at
Speaker 14: the first table. I was like, how am I supposed
Speaker 14: to perform with Susan Sarandon sitting there.
Speaker 8: It's always so crazy when you have those real life
Speaker 8: moments where you're just like, this is my life and
Speaker 8: I'm gonna have to get through this regardless of what
Speaker 8: I feel like.
Speaker 14: This song is to be performed and it's gotta be
Speaker 14: us doing it, and I can't just stare at Susan
Speaker 14: Sarandon the whole time.
Speaker 8: Speaking of I want to also know, besides music, what
Speaker 8: is something that you hope to accomplish before you die?
Speaker 14: Not related to me, Oh, I would love to be
Speaker 14: the voice of an animated character.
Speaker 10: That's a good one.
Speaker 8: What do you picture your animated character being? Usually the villain?
Speaker 8: The usually what I picture. I think I would make
Speaker 8: a great villain.
Speaker 14: And I always thought I would make a great Ursula
Speaker 14: until I saw Melissa McCarthy as Ursula in Little Mermaid
Speaker 14: and I was like, Nope, that's it.
Speaker 8: That's the best that's ever gonna say.
Speaker 12: That's true.
Speaker 8: She crushed that. Okay, so a villain. Gosh, you're so kind.
Speaker 8: I don't know that I could see this villains.
Speaker 14: I don't, I know, but if we think about it,
Speaker 14: everybody carries things in equal measure. So as kind and
Speaker 14: sweet and cuddly as someone may be, that is how
Speaker 14: fierce and nasty. And I'm trying to think of like
Speaker 14: underhanded as they can be too.
Speaker 10: You just got so philosophical on me, and I really
Speaker 10: appreciate it.
Speaker 15: That's what we count on me for in country music.
Speaker 8: It's bringing philosophy to radio.
Speaker 14: Row.
Speaker 15: Hope Ashley gets her with her philosophy soon.
Speaker 8: Would you like to end us on a very great
Speaker 8: uh philosophy? Leff it? No, I can't even say words.
Speaker 8: I keep trying to say. Falawful. Yeah, I learned this.
Speaker 14: I learned this this week, and it'll it'll ring true
Speaker 14: to you, Okay. I was like, I'm nervous about this performance, right, Yeah,
Speaker 14: you can't belittle yourself forward. You can't belittle yourself into
Speaker 14: a good performance. You can believe yourself into a good perform,
Speaker 14: but you can't brate yourself into a good performance. So
Speaker 14: be easier on yourself today.
Speaker 10: Oh that's so good. I hope you remember that.
Speaker 15: Going forward, because I'll be all nervous and like super sweaty.
Speaker 8: You're telling all of us that, but I'm gonna repeat
Speaker 8: that back to you that please don't do belittle yourself
Speaker 8: going into this performance.

Speaker 16: A flip flop, so I could take it. You know,
Speaker 16: you could remove it really easy.
Speaker 8: Okay, but do you think about how gross that is
Speaker 8: that you walk on this all the time and then
Speaker 8: you put it on the.
Speaker 16: Well, it was a let's just get in the bottle
Speaker 16: cap I wouldn't put in the cap in my mouth them.
Speaker 12: How I learned.
Speaker 8: Man, I'm pretty sure the germs transferred in somewhere or another.
Speaker 16: That's probably that's probably true. You're not wrong, Well I do.
Speaker 8: These are what I call my ish cackers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8: I'm sure you have some. I don't know if they're
Speaker 8: the ones you're wearing right now. Yeah, it's like too fancy.
Speaker 16: I don't know, man, I've been many a mile on
Speaker 16: these boots. They've been a good pair.
Speaker 10: Oh they are.
Speaker 17: Well.
Speaker 10: I don't want to kee talking about close because nobody
Speaker 10: can see them, but.
Speaker 8: I do want to talk. I've seen you at some
Speaker 8: dive bars around town. I never bother you. You're having
Speaker 8: your good time. But have you ever had a like
Speaker 8: that's so Nashville moment where you're out and about and
Speaker 8: something happens you're like, dang, this is this would only
Speaker 8: happen because I live in Nashville. Oh.
Speaker 16: My favorite that's so Nashville thing is when somebody's publisher
Speaker 16: is at a bar, or record rep or something is
Speaker 16: at a bar and you can just know who it
Speaker 16: is and you just put all your beers on their tab,
Speaker 16: you know, like that well, it's like kind of give
Speaker 16: and take. Yeah, it's like, yeah, I want to put it.
Speaker 16: I just go to the bar and say the Dickerson tab.
Speaker 8: That's constantly you've done this before.
Speaker 16: Well yeah, but it's like okay, you know because like Bubba, right,
Speaker 16: if if Bubba opens a tab and you're there and
Speaker 16: you get a you get a beer on Bubba. I mean,
Speaker 16: he ain't paying for it. Somebody's paying for it. So
Speaker 16: it's like we're getting we're getting our lick back, We're
Speaker 16: getting the man back.
Speaker 8: Has anybody ever put drinks on yours percent?
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's yeah, it's a it's like in in rights
Speaker 16: and stuff, like everybody's constantly eving. Like Capo's you know
Speaker 16: those things that pinch on a guitar. Guitar players know,
Speaker 16: always leaving tuners in Capo's places, and you just kind of,
Speaker 16: you know, sometimes you'll walk out with one and then
Speaker 16: you'll leave it at the next place. It's sort of
Speaker 16: like a library.
Speaker 8: It's like the traveling Capo.
Speaker 16: That's right, it's right. It's like those books on tape
Speaker 16: you can rent at Cracker Barrel. Yeah, and you could
Speaker 16: take them back to another Cracker Barrel.
Speaker 10: Have you ever ended up with somebody like, really cool,
Speaker 10: they're capo.
Speaker 16: I'm sure I have. You just never know. You know,
Speaker 16: it's because no one they're not labeled.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 8: I feel like you guys, you start finding a way
Speaker 8: to identify that, because what if you end up with
Speaker 8: like a Hank Williams junior capo and how cool would
Speaker 8: that be?
Speaker 10: You never want to let that one go.
Speaker 2: That's true. We need to know the provenance.
Speaker 16: I've watched enough Antique Roadshow to know we got to
Speaker 16: know the provenance of these of these artifacts so that
Speaker 16: we can properly value them for insurance.
Speaker 8: Is that what you're watching in your antiach.
Speaker 2: Roadshow is the best?
Speaker 16: Okay if you like pond Stars, Okay, pons Stars is

Speaker 16: first half of episode talking about oh let me call
Speaker 16: in an expert. Start with the expert like I want
Speaker 16: to know so bad? Oh man, but I love I
Speaker 16: don't know that was anti pond Stars. That's they're fine.
Speaker 16: Antique road Show is the best.
Speaker 10: Isn't there a way you can go visit antiques roadshow?
Speaker 8: Do they have like a location?
Speaker 16: They it's well, it's a road show, so they go
Speaker 16: different places and they take their cameras. So that's where
Speaker 16: you see all this cool stuff. And people have like
Speaker 16: painting is that they didn't know somebody had a Navajo
Speaker 16: quilt that was hanging on the back of their couch

Speaker 8: Because Nashville it's kind of this ten year town, but
Speaker 8: you haven't released a song. So what did your prior
Speaker 8: career kind of look like before this happened?
Speaker 12: I was playing football.
Speaker 19: I was playing college ball in uh in Montana, and
Speaker 19: uh then I ended up getting injured, and then I
Speaker 19: picked like a coffee shop job, and.
Speaker 12: Then COVID happen.
Speaker 10: Coffeehop job, playing coffee shop or serving coffee.
Speaker 12: Serving coffee.
Speaker 9: So you make it?
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, I was good at it too.
Speaker 9: You make a mean coffee, mean cup of brew?
Speaker 8: Do you do it at home now? Like, do you
Speaker 8: have your own little coffee station set up?
Speaker 19: I don't drink caffeine. I haven't had caffeine in like
Speaker 19: eight years. So it's kind of ironic that I worked at.
Speaker 11: A coffee shop.
Speaker 10: That would be like me working at a butcher shop.
Speaker 10: I'm a vegetarian.
Speaker 8: That would be wrong.
Speaker 9: That's pretty right actually, Okay.
Speaker 8: So Barisa is out of your skills of things.
Speaker 10: And then you did you teach yourself to play instruments.
Speaker 19: I started playing piano when I was eleven, the guitar
Speaker 19: and trumpet and a couple.
Speaker 10: Others, and you play trumpet still I can.
Speaker 13: I don't have a trump.
Speaker 10: Please put trumpet on one of your songs.
Speaker 4: I should.
Speaker 1: If you don't, I want to.
Speaker 7: I want to so bad.
Speaker 10: You know how iconic.
Speaker 8: When I hear like a Bruno Mars song and I
Speaker 8: hear the trumpets, I'm like, yes, we're going that will
Speaker 8: be your song?
Speaker 4: It would be nuts.

Speaker 21: we're such fans of hers, but gotten to know her
Speaker 21: while over the last couple of years.
Speaker 15: Darius Rucker.
Speaker 8: Probably that's cool.
Speaker 15: The coolest one I have my phone and he's awesome.
Speaker 15: We've done a show with him, and yeah, he's cool.
Speaker 10: Do you text him on the regular?
Speaker 21: I will text him occasionally if, like I see him
Speaker 21: doing something really cool, like, hey, congratulations, he got a
Speaker 21: star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame I think the
Speaker 21: other day, and but very I don't like hit him up,
Speaker 21: you know.
Speaker 3: But.
Speaker 10: Okay, I like that one. Is that the same for you?
Speaker 15: Different?
Speaker 8: Probably?
Speaker 17: I mean Miranda probably would be mine.
Speaker 8: I don't do I have Darius. I call him Darry
Speaker 8: Darius I do.
Speaker 17: I don't know why I'm calling him that, Like, if
Speaker 17: we don't call him that, I don't know what's happening.
Speaker 8: Weird things happen at radio. Yeah, I'll say Miranda, Miranda.
Speaker 10: That's a really good one.
Speaker 8: Okay, do you want to know for you guys to
Speaker 8: outside of music, what's something that you hope to accomplish
Speaker 8: before you die? I know, so tough. Hope to accomplish
Speaker 8: before I die? And outside of music, say outside of music,
Speaker 8: because it's so nice things you want to do out
Speaker 8: in music.
Speaker 17: I would love to, Like, it's just not the time
Speaker 17: for me right now, but I would love to be
Speaker 17: a mom someday.
Speaker 10: Oh that's weet, I think.
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's really sweet, but like there's no time for
Speaker 17: it right now.
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's really hard.
Speaker 8: Well, you know, sometimes you make the time and it happens.
Speaker 10: If that's what happens.
Speaker 15: I think I'd like to see as many countries as possible.
Speaker 8: And that's very vague. No, that's a good one.
Speaker 15: Yeah, just really impact someone's life.
Speaker 21: I think it'd be really cool to start a charity
Speaker 21: of some sort that really helped like people back home
Speaker 21: and stuff.
Speaker 15: But this is like really.
Speaker 8: Big thing, really deep, I know, question that's what I do.
Speaker 21: Honestly, I don't know if I want to accomplish anything huge.
Speaker 21: I just want to like die with no regrets, you know, Yeah.
Speaker 10: That's do you have any regrets at this moment?
Speaker 21: Maybe some previous choices, but that's fair.
Speaker 8: I'm not gonna get into that.
Speaker 10: Well, we all have regrets. That's okay. We we live
Speaker 10: and we learn. But I liked both of your answers.
Speaker 10: They were great girls. It was great to see you.
Speaker 10: Thanks for stopping by.
Speaker 1: The Cmas are live tonight at eight seventh Central on ABC.
Speaker 10: Morgan here with the one and only Eric Church.
Speaker 8: Eric, you're here. You just put out Darkest Hour because
Speaker 8: Hurricane Helene came and it did horrible things to so
Speaker 8: many communities. I want to talk to you about, Like,
Speaker 8: that's your community, that was your home state. What were
Speaker 8: your first feelings, emotions you were experiencing as.
Speaker 10: You were seeing the news.
Speaker 22: A little bit of shock because when you being in
Speaker 22: the mountains of North Carolina, you don't think about a
Speaker 22: hurricane or you don't think about flooding being a problem,
Speaker 22: you know, So at least for me, it was just
Speaker 22: it was shock when I saw the level of devastation
Speaker 22: and living there half the year as we still do.
Speaker 22: Those are my neighbors, those are my friends, those are
Speaker 22: my family members. So it took on an extra personal benefit.
Speaker 8: And as you started to write this song, like, where
Speaker 8: in those processes is this how you tend to process
Speaker 8: things that happen, Like you're like, let me write a
Speaker 8: song and get it out.
Speaker 22: Normally, yes, but in this case, I was working on
Speaker 22: a project for next year and I had darkest hour,
Speaker 22: so I didn't conceive it for something like this. But
Speaker 22: when Hurricane Helene happened, I was listening back to this
Speaker 22: song knowing that it would be next year before it
Speaker 22: came out, and I knew I would regret it. There's
Speaker 22: a line in the song set in your darkest Hour,
Speaker 22: I'll come running, And I knew the people of North
Speaker 22: Carolina needed people to come running. These are small communities
Speaker 22: and they need help. So we decided to release it
Speaker 22: and make it up an anthem for the people there
Speaker 22: and gave the song to the state of North Carolina forever,
Speaker 22: so all the proceeds go to the people and rebuilding
Speaker 22: that community, So it's become kind of an anthem. Mainly
Speaker 22: most important thing. Money is very important, but the awareness
Speaker 22: is more important. So we don't move on and forget
Speaker 22: that those people are going to need help for a
Speaker 22: long time.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and it's I mean, these people are going to
Speaker 8: be impacted for months and years to come. You also,
Speaker 8: have you I know you guys lived there for some
Speaker 8: parts of the year, but have you guys had a
Speaker 8: chance to go back and be around these communities yet.
Speaker 22: I have been there a couple of times. Last time
Speaker 22: I was actually with the governor, let's say, in North Carolina.
Speaker 22: We were touring some damage and we committed to building
Speaker 22: one hundred homes in western North Carolina and would like
Speaker 22: to build more. But in this country, we do a
Speaker 22: pretty decent job with the nine to one to one
Speaker 22: response of food, of water, of diapers, but we don't
Speaker 22: do as well at the next phase, which is how
Speaker 22: do we rebuild the community? And we've decided to help
Speaker 22: with that and make sure we put houses in the
Speaker 22: community that people can live in so they can help
Speaker 22: rebuild it themselves.
Speaker 8: Well, I really appreciate everything you're doing. I know so
Speaker 8: many people do, so thank you for what you've done.
Speaker 8: And I hope everyone listening, you know, continues to help
Speaker 8: in ways that can benefit all of them.
Speaker 10: So thank you.
Speaker 1: Don't miss the fifty eighth annual See him as live

Speaker 3: a roller coaster. I gotta go on a roller coaster.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what he's really scared of everything. It's kind
Speaker 3: of you know. And we finally go on a roller
Speaker 3: coaster and we get up to the front and goes
Speaker 3: Dad and it's one of the ones where your feet
Speaker 3: hang down so there's no seat, and he's like, Dad,
Speaker 3: I'm getting a little nervous. I'm like all right, and

Speaker 1: The CMA's are live tonight at eight seventh Central on ABC.
Speaker 3: OH. Speaking of Eddie, we got George Burrs here. George,
Speaker 3: I want to know the pickleball League? How bad is
Speaker 3: Eddie at pickleball?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 23: Eddie has such a great personality, That's.
Speaker 3: What they say about the ugly chick. I don't want
Speaker 3: to hook you up with this girl. What's it what
Speaker 3: she looks like? He's got a great personality.
Speaker 9: He would Eddie would win the Hustle Award.
Speaker 23: I think you know that's uh, he's out there, he's
Speaker 23: trying his hardest and he's getting better every time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Bobby comes on and tells how bad Eddie is,
Speaker 3: Like he's just the worst in the league and never
Speaker 3: gonna get better.
Speaker 23: Like it's a we're not seeing a ton of progress there,
Speaker 23: but we do love it.
Speaker 3: Why what is wrong with Like is he just unathletic
Speaker 3: or is it?
Speaker 23: Eddie's pretty set in his ways when he does stuff,
Speaker 23: so like you know, Bobby or you know, some of
Speaker 23: the guys that are really good will kind of give
Speaker 23: him some instruction, but Eddie kind of likes to do
Speaker 23: it his own way. You know, he's he's kind of
Speaker 23: he's doing is. He's set in uh in the way
Speaker 23: that he likes to do it, and so we're working
Speaker 23: on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was uncoachable.
Speaker 9: I think that would be a pretty good way to
Speaker 9: say it.
Speaker 3: How good are you? Because you're good at everything?
Speaker 23: Man, I grew up playing tennis like I love to play.
Speaker 23: I grew up playing all sports, so I'm pretty new
Speaker 23: to pick a ball. But it was like a pretty
Speaker 23: pretty easy transition, so I can take down everyone. It's
Speaker 23: set for Bones, which drives me crazy. Bones is and
Speaker 23: it's he doesn't even have to try that hard to

Speaker 1: Yeah, George, to see anybody, don't miss the fifty eighth
Speaker 1: annual CEMA Live on ABC tonight had eight seven Central.
Speaker 3: All Right, Mark Cawley, how's it going, man?
Speaker 12: Great man?
Speaker 3: Tell me? So, what is life like being you know,
Speaker 3: a legend and seeing Nashville? You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: You were like Nashville when it was gritty. Now it's
Speaker 3: kind of like glitz and glamour. And what was it
Speaker 3: like back then when it was like nitty gritty?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 5: I like the smaller town if the smaller houses, the
Speaker 5: pubs and houses, and uh, you can hang out a
Speaker 5: little bit more, you know, you can't. There's no word
Speaker 5: for songwriters and sort of families together up really unless
Speaker 5: you get out of town and go to somebody's house. Well,
Speaker 5: I think the toughness there were more great songwriters that
Speaker 5: you could hang out with, like Harlan Howard and people
Speaker 5: like that that you could get to know. And I
Speaker 5: was blessed to be a part of that last generation got.
Speaker 4: To know them.
Speaker 20: I mean, and you know you can.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know what it's light now because
Speaker 5: I'm not down there, you know, Yeah, but I guess
Speaker 5: it's a good vibe, you know, I know that. But
Speaker 5: it seems like it's a little bit more family, community oriented.
Speaker 5: But it was still as tough as ever, you still
Speaker 5: had to write the song I used to.
Speaker 3: I mean, how hard is it to write a song? Like,
Speaker 3: it's really hard, Right.
Speaker 5: It's not hard to write a song. It's hard to
Speaker 5: write a great song. It just takes it takes longer.
Speaker 5: Me had to write a lot of good songs to
Speaker 5: get to a great one. I've been blessed to write
Speaker 5: some really pretty good songs, had a few that I
Speaker 5: would considered.
Speaker 20: You know, uh that I made a great contribution with
Speaker 20: those songs.
Speaker 3: Do you hear other songs like Okay, that's all great?
Speaker 5: Oh, listen the House that Built Me? You know you
Speaker 5: this look you know No, that's been a couple of
Speaker 5: years ago. But they'd be hard pressed to find a
Speaker 5: song greater than them.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you you marked that as one of the
Speaker 3: best songs of all time?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say because it connected to so many
Speaker 5: people at so many levels. But every song speaks to
Speaker 5: somebody different. Like when Man the Moon was a hit,
Speaker 5: I'd have people come and go, oh, that reminded me
Speaker 5: of this in my life, or then I'd have somebody
Speaker 5: else come up and go, uh, it reminded them of
Speaker 5: something else. I think everybody that he's he stopped loving
Speaker 5: her today thinks of another loved one, another heartbreak in
Speaker 5: their own lives.
Speaker 3: You know that does take you because I've heard of
Speaker 3: that song. I've heard that one.
Speaker 20: Well, I mean, well if you if you haven't, you should.
Speaker 12: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Well, I understand what you're saying. And do you think,
Speaker 3: like what do you like social media? Are you glad
Speaker 3: social media wasn't around back in those days?
Speaker 20: Well I am, because that's been a lot more trouble
Speaker 20: than I am.
Speaker 5: You know, I tell you it was. You know, at
Speaker 5: least you got out and got in trouble.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because like nowadays, you can't do anything.
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't know how these kids get out and do anything.
Speaker 5: Get me in trouble because before they get home in
Speaker 5: their mama's arch and I know where you vance huh.
Speaker 5: I mean it's the youngest get in there. Cut me
Speaker 5: a switch.
Speaker 20: You know, I don't get anybody gets some whipping anymore.
Speaker 3: We well, some people get a whooping and that's going
Speaker 3: I got like ring doorbell cameras. Like how you want
Speaker 3: to talk about ruining the youth. You can't even go
Speaker 3: toilet paper for someone's house. Because the dang ring doorbell
Speaker 3: camera goes off and they freaking.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, you know, social media probably cut out
Speaker 5: a whole lot of cheating songs because people can't cheat
Speaker 5: anymore because if they're cheating, everybody's sitting at the house
Speaker 5: washing them on, washing them on the big screen.
Speaker 18: Oh look that goes daddy.
Speaker 3: Oh check his location. Oh wait, his iPhone says, that.

Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 1: A cheating so about what?
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, there ain't no surprises today.
Speaker 20: Well, I think that's a good thing. Keep keep everybody
Speaker 20: out of trouble.
Speaker 3: But too but a little trouble is good. A little
Speaker 3: trouble is good. It can be a good thing. It
Speaker 3: can provide inspiration, it can you know, you gotta get
Speaker 3: knocked down and then get up again. Never ever gonna
Speaker 3: keep me down.
Speaker 5: Well that that that's not ever going to change in life,
Speaker 5: you know, the wins and the losses and how you
Speaker 5: handle it, you know, Yeah, I mean it takes a
Speaker 5: lot of poor choices to ever learn the right one.
Speaker 3: It's deep.
Speaker 19: Every gets a spying actor, you should, Okay, Lunchbock is
Speaker 19: aspiring actor.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I've been in such things as Friday

Speaker 24: know why I even have them. I really don't even
Speaker 24: know why I have the hats. I need to get
Speaker 24: rid of lot of them. But it's also I'm like
Speaker 24: my grandma. She don't want to get rid of nothing
Speaker 24: because I might one day. Like what if I need
Speaker 24: that hat one day?
Speaker 25: You know?
Speaker 8: So are you trying to get past I.
Speaker 11: Really hope not.
Speaker 3: It's hard. It's hard to say no to free stuff though. Yeah,

Speaker 3: free hat or a free pair of shoes, you're like, hey, man,
Speaker 3: I may wear those one day.

Speaker 24: need hats, you know, And then I'll get home be
Speaker 24: like I did not need that because I don't have
Speaker 24: any room for it.
Speaker 3: I mean I would go to the baseball stadiums and
Speaker 3: they'd have, you know, fill out a credit card for
Speaker 3: a free T shirt. I filled out one at every stadium, man.

Speaker 24: They're like, hen, you could save this and we'll give
Speaker 24: you this for free and you won't have to pay

Speaker 24: it and they're like, oh, it's just a credit card.
Speaker 24: All you got to do is just sign up. Signed up.
Speaker 24: Never paid for that shirt because it went on the
Speaker 24: credit card, which I didn't understand what a credit card was,
Speaker 24: and then I ended up paying like two hundred and
Speaker 24: seventeen dollars for this thirty seven dollars shirt.

Speaker 3: work because a hundred times like.
Speaker 7: What I also want to master, like like wiping sitting
Speaker 7: down because you know, I'm a leg up on the
Speaker 7: seat kind of thing, standing and doing this whole thing.

Speaker 7: you ever done a bidet? A bidet? That's what I meant.
Speaker 7: I like a bidet, well badet, but day but day,

Speaker 3: life changer.
Speaker 7: Didn't hurt.

Speaker 7: I'll I'll think about it. I'll think about it.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, dude, and it saves money on toilet paper.
Speaker 7: Well, if I figure that out, we'll die, right, because
Speaker 7: that'd be the last thing I need to do.

Speaker 10: I think that's normal for a first time parent.
Speaker 13: It's so good and I mean it's so genuinely that,
Speaker 13: as honest as I can be, the coolest, most impressive,
Speaker 13: unbelievable part of the entire thing since that kid has

Speaker 13: doing it her whole life, So that's really been special.
Speaker 8: I feel like she would disagree that You're also probably
Speaker 8: very good at it, if I had to guess, I'm
Speaker 8: pretty good.
Speaker 13: At getting go to sleep. But that's about it.
Speaker 10: Okay, we'll take that one.

Speaker 8: country music.
Speaker 12: Oh great, how.

Speaker 10: Well, you're a great dad.
Speaker 8: I will put it out there that you can go

Speaker 12: Shoes black and white though you know brand.

Speaker 2: No, I did not know that, Morgan.
Speaker 3: Well, that's why you're I thought he had a sponsorship deal.
Speaker 12: We just family. Now Okay, yeah, might as well, I guess.
Speaker 10: But you have so many catchy songs.
Speaker 8: Tell me a little bit like about your career, like
Speaker 8: starting up, because I know you from the music, but
Speaker 8: I don't know much about your story.
Speaker 10: Give me a little background to you.
Speaker 12: Well, I started off as a dirt bike racer from
Speaker 12: White House, Tennessee, and that led me to meeting Tyler Hubbard.
Speaker 12: And he built a track in my hometown for some reason.
Speaker 8: A track for you to dirt dirt bike track.
Speaker 3: Well, not just for him, for everybody.
Speaker 21: It was.
Speaker 2: Right there, and I want you to have this dirt track.
Speaker 12: He built it for him for him somehow or another.
Speaker 12: One of my buddies met him and he was like,
Speaker 12: bring some friends riding and I one day I told
Speaker 12: him I couldn't come ride because I was going to
Speaker 12: the studio and everybody was like, what are you really
Speaker 12: going to do? And I was like, I'm gonna pay
Speaker 12: a guy to record a song. And some reason him
Speaker 12: and Brian took a liking to it and started mentoring me.
Speaker 12: And that was kind of how I ended up here.
Speaker 10: And wait, so you you were with FGL before the split.
Speaker 12: Yes, I was signed to Tree Vibe, so I wrote
Speaker 12: for him for about four years and that was really
Speaker 12: good for me. I got to tour around with them
Speaker 12: and see what a tour like that looks like when
Speaker 12: it's operating good, and and uh, yeah, it was great
Speaker 12: for me to cut my teeth with them. That's who
Speaker 12: I got my first cuts with. And you know, they
Speaker 12: really gave me roots in town. And they started a
Speaker 12: record label right before they broke up, and they did
Speaker 12: a cod deal with Warner, and thankfully Warner kept me
Speaker 12: once the boys broke up.
Speaker 3: And how does that happen?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 12: Man? It was tough because I just told them, you know,
Speaker 12: I kept it real. I said, when I get my
Speaker 12: publishing check or my record label check, both the ALL
Speaker 12: signatures on the bottom, I worked for both the ALL
Speaker 12: both the All's my homies. I'll never pick I'll never
Speaker 12: pick a side and I never have and they I
Speaker 12: think they both respected it. And that's why I still
Speaker 12: got a good relationship with each of them.
Speaker 10: But oh, well, that's good.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's hard for that to happen because it affects
Speaker 12: friend groups and everything else, but we all come out
Speaker 12: good on the other side of it.
Speaker 10: Well, that's really cool that you were part of that
Speaker 10: origin story before.
Speaker 12: You got to meet Nelly and write a little bit
Speaker 12: with them. So that was my first first number one song,
Speaker 12: and that that really gave me a you know, a
Speaker 12: little bit of cred in town.
Speaker 3: And that changed her book in your bank account.
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know what the biggest thing for me is
Speaker 12: I didn't have to make desperate moves as an artist.
Speaker 12: I knew my bills were paid as with my songwriting,
Speaker 12: and I could go really slow and make sure I
Speaker 12: picked songs that were right for me. And and we
Speaker 12: didn't just do something we thought was a hit. And
Speaker 12: I think it served me well in the long run.
Speaker 3: And how's your dirt bike racing?
Speaker 24: Now?
Speaker 3: Do you have time for that or is it all
Speaker 3: music all the time?
Speaker 12: It's all music twenty four to seven. But two weeks
Speaker 12: ago we did a show at a race and we
Speaker 12: had Sunday off and we talked to the bus driver
Speaker 12: into stand and I woke up and borrowed a bike
Speaker 12: and race.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 12: So that was like the best weekend of all two
Speaker 12: It needs to be.
Speaker 8: Like your new tour where you do a combination of
Speaker 8: dirt bikes and country music.
Speaker 12: I would love it now, Warner would probably be nervous. No,
Speaker 12: they know I'm getting fragile for some reason. Every time
Speaker 12: I hit the ground, something breaks.
Speaker 3: But that's what happens when you get older. Man, I
Speaker 3: don't know how old are you.
Speaker 12: I'm thirty one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, you're really old.
Speaker 12: Man eighteen, it was like rubber Now, I felt like glue.
Speaker 3: You hit the ground stick three. Man, boy, it's rough
Speaker 3: out there.
Speaker 8: Have you had any serious injuries from there? I feel
Speaker 8: like that comes with a lot of injuries in general
Speaker 8: that sports.
Speaker 12: I probably broke thirty bones. I think three years ago
Speaker 12: I crashed me and Tyler were riding. Actually I broke
Speaker 12: four ribs, both arms, my shoulder. It was one of
Speaker 12: the worst crashes of my entire life.
Speaker 10: And you still haven't stopped. You still love it.
Speaker 3: Well, you said it broke your both your arms, both arms.
Speaker 2: How did you take a shower back?
Speaker 12: Brother? I couldn't put my own socks or shirt on.
Speaker 3: Seriously, who helped you?
Speaker 12: I had a girlfriend at the time. It was very
Speaker 12: kind and she helped me through that because it was it.
Speaker 3: Was tough we appreciate her for getting you through that,
Speaker 3: and now that she's gone, we're we're okay with that.
Speaker 12: She inspired some good songs, too good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because like I had ankle surgery, you know a
Speaker 3: few years back, and I had to have my mom
Speaker 3: bathed me because I couldn't get my ankle.
Speaker 12: And I had to be out and get dreadful.
Speaker 3: Man, it's like embarrassing. But I'm like a grown adult,

Speaker 1: ABC tonight at eight seventh century And here.
Speaker 8: Right now, Scottie Hastein, you are not only a singer
Speaker 8: and songwriter, but you're also an Army vet.
Speaker 10: Yes, tell me a little bit about that for people
Speaker 10: who may not know you.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 25: I was in the United States Army in April twenty first,
Speaker 25: twenty eleven. I was shot in Afghanistan. I was shot
Speaker 25: ten times and I've been lucky enough to find an
Speaker 25: outlet and sense of peace and escape in music, and
Speaker 25: it's it's amazing, and I'm just trying to help other
Speaker 25: people who are struggling like I am.
Speaker 8: You know, we met, Gosh, it was a couple of
Speaker 8: months ago now at Create Events, Create a Vets event
Speaker 8: that was with George Straight and his new album, and
Speaker 8: you were doing stuff with that, and it was really
Speaker 8: cool to see just how impactful music is for so
Speaker 8: many veterans as they're coming back and they've had these
Speaker 8: really traumatic experiences. Absolutely, like, for you, what does music
Speaker 8: mean to you now? It probably has a different definition.
Speaker 25: Oh yeah, you know, you know, music for me has
Speaker 25: always has become an outlet, but more than that, now
Speaker 25: it's a way to help. It's a way for me
Speaker 25: to to be able to put into words things that
Speaker 25: a lot of vets can't say or don't know how
Speaker 25: to find words to say. And and hopefully in some way,
Speaker 25: shape or form, I'm helping someone.
Speaker 8: And you are, there's no doubt that you are. You
Speaker 8: also got to do a collaboration with Dolly. Oh God,
Speaker 8: life changing, I imagine.
Speaker 25: I mean it's Dolly Parton.
Speaker 8: Did you okay? So did you get a meter? I
Speaker 8: need to know how it happened, did you No?
Speaker 4: No, I didn't even get a chance to meter. I
Speaker 4: still haven't met her yet. I have a song with her.
Speaker 25: I don't even met her yet.
Speaker 8: Crazy, it's it's wild, weird.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 25: So we did a version of Till Last Shots Fired,
Speaker 25: which is a song that I heard it Walter read
Speaker 25: for the first time, and it changed everything for me.
Speaker 25: It changed my life. In that moment, I made a
Speaker 25: decision that I wasn't going to let my disability dictate
Speaker 25: my life. And I wasn't going I was I was
Speaker 25: going to live my life to the fullest for my
Speaker 25: friends that would never.
Speaker 4: Have the opportunity.
Speaker 25: And fast forward ten years, I'm sitting in the office
Speaker 25: of one of the co writers that song and he's like,
Speaker 25: you want to do a version of it? And I
Speaker 25: said do I Yeah, I want to do a version
Speaker 25: of it, like that song changed my life and and
Speaker 25: he was like okay. So we did it and it
Speaker 25: was amazing, and he was like, you know, what if
Speaker 25: we got other veterans, what if we got other artists
Speaker 25: to do to be a part of this, And I
Speaker 25: said send it to everybody, like please, that'd be great.
Speaker 25: And originally Jamie Johnson was supposed to be a part
Speaker 25: of it, but he got really sick and he wasn't
Speaker 25: able to so Lee.
Speaker 12: Brice was like, I want to be a part of this,
Speaker 12: let's do it.
Speaker 10: So Rice is a huge advocate.
Speaker 4: Incredible, one of my dearest friends.
Speaker 25: Now he's so amazing and and yeah, he did his version.
Speaker 25: I got to go and watch how he does his thing,
Speaker 25: which is incredible. And uh and then yeah, I got
Speaker 25: a call. I was coming back from a show. I
Speaker 25: got a call from Doug Johnson, my producer, and he said, Hey,
Speaker 25: I just want to let you know Dolly wants to
Speaker 25: be a part of this. Is that okay? And I said,
Speaker 25: why are you calling me? Give her the song, let
Speaker 25: her do whatever she wants. It's Dolly parton.

Speaker 8: become such a big important piece for you. Yes, but
Speaker 8: that you hope to accomplish before this is all over.
Speaker 3: Oh.
